Singapore's Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve (SBWR) has embarked on an "Engraved Flagging Programme" aimed at enhancing its shorebird ringing programme. This new method will allow it to study the movement of individual birds in Singapore and along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway by identifying the letter and number on the flags. Shorebirds that have been netted will have green over white colour flags on the right leg. Since Aug 2012, the flags even have an alphabet and a number to identify the individual waders.
Field ornithologist Wang Luan Keng is assisting SBWR to monitor the movement of shorebirds in Singapore. She has requested that anyone (naturalist, photographers, birdwatchers) encountering any of these flagged birds, whether in the reserve or elsewhere in Singapore, to please report these sightings by e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
It is also possible to encounter shorebirds with other colour flags. These, and the birds tagged with the new colour codes, would be netted in other countries and the information would be transmitted back to the SBWR for subsequent analysis.
Please include the following information in your sighting report: Location, Date, Time, Name of Observer, Species, Position and Colour of flags, Lettering and Number on flags and photographs (if available).
A Facebook group "Sungei Buloh Engraved Flag Sightings" has also been set up to share information on sightings of engraved colour flags.
"It is important that we find out where the shorebirds are feeding when they are not in SBWR, so that those areas can get some protection as well. We suspect that besides Mandai, the birds might be feeding elsewhere but we still don't know where," wrote Luan Keng.

Excellent curated gift set for men of many fashions:
What I recieved was:
** A Tie still in plastic : Neat, clean, may work with many suits & styles, very straight - impressed by this where I have had a few before wrinkled and this 1 was not!o
** Fish Hook tie Clip : unique - set for my preference : fishing / the outdoors - neato!
** Box of Mens Collar Stays : Collar stiffners- keep dress shirt collars in place, in a very cool leather box - Im going to use later for either perfume vials or another small delicate since there are straps placed inside
I got my first box last week and have been using the items ever since. The the scarf and hat are a warm material that is soft and comfortable. The socks are a good material that goes into the work dress rotation. The only issue with the socks is the excess thread go on the inside from the pattern and that is a personal thing. The last item I have yet to use but they are a nice paid of cufflinks.
At a dept store these items would range from $8-25 or up depending on whose name is on them.
Randi is also very good to work with and really tries to tailor the boxes to your needs. I look forward to working with Randi and seeing what arrives in the coming months.
I received my first package today from Men's Accessories Box. I bought this for my husband. I was pleasantly surprised by the selection inside. I got cufflinks, a tie, tie bar, corkscrew and money clip. My husband loved each item. They did a nice job picking items that matched the information I gave them. I'm definitely going to continue my subscription.
I absolutely loved my Mens Accessories shop order. It came so quickly. The merchandize I receive each month is of the highest quality. I can not wait for my next box to arrive. This is the perfect Christmas gift for the men in your life. Order now!
My box was very thoughtfully put together. I love how they listened to my style profile and gave my husband stuff that speaks to his hobbies like nautical style cufflinks and ties and pocket squares that match... The quality was even better than I thought it would be! Thanks so much. This was a HUGE HIT with my husband!

The basic idea of the lottery has changed little since olden times. Ancient Romans and Chinese, medieval Europeans and others regularly bought chances at big prizes, with the money usually flowing into civic coffers for public works.
But playing and delivery methods keep changing, with Ohio of all places — no offense to the Buckeye State, home to multiple presidents and the Wright Brothers' aerodynamic innovations — accounting for some of the latest developments.
Recent days have brought the debut of the "first mobile-enable lottery card" in the state, according to the companies behind the card, Linq3 and Blackhawk Network. The product combines the gift card with the lotto entry, and here's how it works, according to statement announcing the launch.
Mobile Lottery Product
Consumers go Buehler's, Giant Eagle or Kroger locations to buy the lottery card. Whenever that consumer with the lottery card desires to enter a drawing, "the player texts in the Lottery Card's unique code to a specified number, provides their name and confirms their location to complete a one-time card enrollment," according to the statement.
A picture message with the quick pick numbers, draw date and other info then is sent back to the cardholder. "Winners are notified via text and picture message and most winnings are paid automatically via PayPal. After enrolling, players can use their Lottery Card to play again and again by presenting it at checkout," the statement explained.
Consumers can buy the lottery cards and give them to other people. Not only do gift cards stand as the most popular holiday present, according to the National Retail Federation and other sources, but a Blackhawk Network survey found that "44 percent of consumers surveyed are interested in receiving a gift card to play the lottery, while 43 percent would be interested in giving a lottery gift card."
This is not the first time consumers have seen lottery gift cards, of course. A few years ago, for example, Scientific Games Corporation and InComm released North America's first lottery retail gift cards. Pat McHugh, senior vice president of North American lottery systems at Scientific Games, said at the time that the gift cards will add a degree of flexibility to an already popular market.
Lotto and Payment Cards
Nor do these mobile-enabled lottery cards represent Ohio's first attempt to keep its edge when it comes to state lotteries. It recently allowed lotto players to use payment cards.
In September of last year, the state began putting payment card readers in all self-service lotto machines. Those card readers now accept payments via Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Apple Pay, Android Pay and Samsung Pay. The state pays the card fees associated with those payments, not the retailers with those machines — the reader retrofit was mandatory. Lotto players can spend $10, $20, $50 or $100. A player can spend $100 per day per card. "Any money placed on the Lottery terminal using the card reader must be played," state lottery officials said. "The only amounts that can be cashed out are winnings or cash that was inserted into the machine."
Fear of encouraging gambling addicts is the main reason that keeps some other states (or banks) from following Ohio's leads, according to comment from state politicians and other observers.
"Just 20 states allow lottery purchases with credit cards, and seven of those leave the decision up to retailers," reads an analysis from earlier this year. And those rules come in different flavors. "In Connecticut, for example, you cannot buy tickets with a credit card. But you can use a gift card or debit card – unless the specific retailer prohibits using debit. In a handful of states, including Tennessee and South Carolina, lottery tickets may only be bought with cash."
Worries about addiction also have come up with the launch of the mobile-enabled lottery cards in Ohio. "Gambling is an addiction very similar to drug addiction, so having increased availability is going to be easier to gamble and it will cause some additional challenges for the community," Paula Cosby, external affairs director, Montgomery County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services in Ohio, told a local reporter.
Younger Lotto Players
Even so, companies are trying to get younger consumers to play the lottery, and using mobile technology to make those sales. A company called AutoLotto offers a "mobile app allows users to buy tickets from their smartphone," according to a report. "It also lets them scan a paper ticket purchased in-store to track it, and get notifications if they win."
The company can do that because — after working with regulators before entering a specific state — it buys lotto tickets and keeps original paper tickets in a secure location, "which it also pays to insure, in case anything goes wrong at its holding facility. When it has a winning ticket, it takes it to the local lottery agency to redeem it, and pay out winners via its app."
The target audience? Millennials, whom the company says do not provide a lot of foot traffic to retailers that sell lotto tickets. About a third of consumers between the ages of 20 and 35 buy lotto tickets.
State lotteries also run their own mobile apps — in Illinois, for instance, consumers who download the app can buy tickets, check jackpot amounts, received email notifications for winning tickets, find lotto retailers, "manage personal spending limits," and have winnings of less than $600 deposited in online accounts.
Gambling of all types is moving further into the digital realm. That includes sports betting, thanks to a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that allowed all states to offer it. The Ohio launch provides an signal of where lotteries are headed, and how mobile technology will play a part in the future of betting.
New forms of alternative credit and point-of-sale (POS) lending options like 'buy now, pay later' (BNPL) leverage the growing influence of payments choice on customer loyalty. Nearly 60 percent of consumers say such digital options now influence where and how they shop—especially touchless payments and robust, well-crafted ecommerce checkouts—so, merchants have a clear mandate: understand what has changed and adjust accordingly. Join PYMNTS CEO Karen Webster together with PayPal's Greg Lisiewski, BigCommerce's Mark Rosales, and Adore Me's Camille Kress as they spotlight key findings from the new PYMNTS-PayPal study, "How We Shop" and map out faster, better pathways to a stronger recovery.

NEW YORK, NY, October 26, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Traveling is an integral part of our modern society. Driving across the country is still a dream of many. There are tons of services in US for travelers and people who love adventures. New technologies, apps allow us to navigate and share our journeys. As long as you have internet connection it's hard to get lost. Hundreds of tips and recommendations are there for you to find interesting and beautiful places. Sometimes we don't want to overwhelm ourselves will a lot of information. The best way to travel is to make spontaneous decisions. There is a way to still be aware of your surroundings and check directions. A service called USdismap -distance calculator between US cities.
We have talked to the creator and owner of the service Mr.Ivanov. Here is what he has to say about USdismap: "Traveling has always fascinated me. I don't like very complicated apps or services for navigation and road trips. The idea to create a service that can calculate distance between US cities came to me on the road. Since that moment our team worked hard with this project. The best things about our site is that it's extremely simple. You don't need to provide tons of info. All you need is two cities: departure city and destination. Our service will give you driving distance from one city to another, driving directions from one city to another and flight distance between cities. We have some other useful tricks on the site: gas calculation option, weather forecast for 5 days at destination city and approximate time of driving. We hope our users will be satisfied and use our service for all the road trips."
So we have tested the service and it's very helpful. So easy, we type into the box on the main page our cities and get the results. Driving distance from one city to another is pointed out in miles, kilometres and nautical miles. You'll be able to see the map with the route for selected cities, approximate time of driving as mentioned by Mr. Ivanov, weather forecast for 5 days and gas calculation. By the way driving distance from one city to another can be changed into driving directions from one city to another (all the turns, exits etc. are pointed out for you) or flight distance from one city to another. We have enjoyed the service and hope you'll love it too. Visit https://us.dismap.com/ and try it on your own.

Bernhard Gal Same Difference
Published Nov 29, 2010If Pauline Oliveros coined the term "deep listening," Austrian composer/electroacoustician/sound artist Bernhard Gal definitely practices it to create his diverse, fascinating works. Take his "xuán zhuân" for singing wine glasses and bowed crotales ― a hovering, humming, shimmering experience in weightless floating. A product of his visits to China, "uh-jeh-gal" for sheng, guzheng, voice and live electronics disclose themselves gradually via long electronic drones, gentle instrumental gestures of plucked, bent strings and soft vocal glissandi, all graceful and evocative. "E-musik" is entirely different ― thrumming, slightly detuned guitar strings, stroked, strummed, rubbed to hypnotic effect. Interspersed throughout the 12 tracks are four pieces, two with Chinese-speaking voices and two soundscapes derived from subway recordings. Gal's sensitivity to environmental sounds, combined with his awareness of spatiality and ability to involve musicians from diverse cultural backgrounds, allows him to create music of ghostly, yet intimate, beauty.

I've been focused on losing weight for a good portion of the year, after a visit to the doctor pushed me to act. I know myself well enough to know I needed a system to help me, so I signed up for WeightWatchers and got to it. I'd used the system once before, but was pleased to note a new app in addition to the website. Notably, however, was integration with the Apple Health app, and my Apple Watch. Not only could I log my food with the app, and my weight with integration to my smart scale, but my movement would factor in for my fitness. This bit of integration has resulted in me being a lot more conscious about making sure to get in my steps for the day—it helps ensure a good week!
The point of mentioning this is to highlight the fact that wearable technologies generally have specific applications. While smart watches—particularly with focus on activity and sport tracking—tend to dominate the mindshare, they are only one example of the technology. There are applications in navigation systems, healthcare, and textiles. Wearable cameras, such as those used in law enforcement, are another example.
Two key factors will ultimately influence the success of a wearable technology. The first is the utility of the device. Does it solve a particular problem for the user? Take wearable cameras, for example. Solving the challenge of documentation for law enforcement is a useful business need, but far less so outside that specific sector. Bolting technology onto a person's clothing has to have a need.
The second is style appeal when focused on broad consumer or business uses. Remember Google Glass? One of the major reasons it failed to take off was simply the fact that wearers looked bad wearing them. Sex appeal? I don't think so. Few could pull off wearing Google Glass socially. Add to that privacy concerns, and it was all but inevitable the technology would end up on the discard pile for most users. Wearables for consumers fit a unique place in technology with a requirement for most to be both useful and fashionable. Glass has been much more successful in manufacturing and medicine, where fashion is not a critical consideration.
For a managed service provider (MSP), wearable technology brings up specific questions to ask. From a business perspective, what problem is the device solving? Understanding the need will help the solution provider manage it correctly.
Next, you should understand what data is being leveraged on the device, and how the device will secure that. Much of the data collected by wearables is personal, requiring a certain level of security. Additionally, having corporate data stored on the device—even data like email—requires the same security requirements that any endpoint would demand.
Finally, the MSP should determine what level of support they are going to provide, and ensure their documentation and training are ready to deliver that. For example, you should think closely about how you should support an Apple Watch user.
The reality at the moment is wearable technologies are still in their infancy, and for most MSPs and solution providers, these scenarios will be minor. Most businesses are not yet using wearable technologies in a way that will require full management and support. Each provider may choose some support, for CEOs, for example, on common technologies. However, the most important thing you can do at this stage is to make an active decision about that management, rather than be surprised.

Apparently there's a large chunk of the community that doesn't know the ideal strategies for beating the bosses, so here's a guide!
Other Hunt: Showdown Guides:
The Basics
So apparently a chunk of you guys don't realize this but, RUN AWAY FROM THE BOSS. You can not melee 1v1 the butcher, you cannot kill the spider with a knife as it scutters on the walls. Please for the good of your hunters and your teammates, don't be the guy that does this.
Now for more specific advice:
The Butcher
Run and gun this guy. You can reload while running so fire as much ammo as you can into him as he charges you and turn and run while reloading. This way you won't get hit while doing this fight. Aim for his left shoulder for that sweet sweet damage bonus and reap the rewards.
The Spider
Just shoot her and stay out of the fart clouds. Don't bother yeeting your lanterns at her she usually moves around too much for it to do anything and she rarely runs into pools of fire as she really only comes to the floor when she leaps at you. Speaking of which, if she does that, shoot her. Seriously it's not a complicated idea. If your teammate gets pinned by her fill her with that sweet sweet lead you're packing in your murder maker.
The Do's and The Please Dear God Don'ts
Now, I'm going to put this in a nice back and forth list for all you good boys and girls who enjoy formatting. If you do something, great! Read on! If you DONT do something, make sure you aren't doing the DONT. Okay? Okay, lets keep going.
- DO - Keep your gun up unless running towards or away from the boss.
- DONT - Run around with a consumable or a melee weapon whilst in the bossroom unless actively using it.
- DO - Communicate with your teammate if they are fighting the boss with you.
- DONT - Sit there quietly expecting your teammate to read your mind as you run out of the bossroom to kill a grunt.
- DO - Keep an ear out for enemy players who might be setting up an ambush for you.
- DONT - Take your headphones off or listen to music whilst fighting the boss, this is problematic, dont do it.

Korean Truce 50th Anniversary
Old soldiers gathering on the border where the Korean War ended 50 years ago Sunday remembered the snow and heat of the battlefields, sobbed at the memories of buddies lost and celebrated the prosperity of modern South Korea.
But their pride was tempered by tension over the communist North's nuclear programs.
More than 1,200 veterans, some in wheelchairs and many holding hands of spouses and children, gathered out of the rain in a tent in the southern half of Panmunjom, the truce village in the Demilitarized Zone, to mark the 50th anniversary of the armistice ending the war.
More than 5 million people died, were wounded or went missing during the fighting.
Wearing combat medals, the veterans gazed at the foggy, rain-shrouded land of their enemy. A lone North Korean soldier stood guard as veterans toured a military hut straddling the demarcation line and took snapshots with the North as a backdrop.
"I came here in 1952. I was 24 years old. I came here again just a week ago at the age of 75 to see it again," said Victor Bielen, a former Marine from Wisconsin. "What comes to my mind first is the peace we have right now. That's the way we want it to be."
North Korea marked the anniversary with celebrations because its propaganda machine has always described the war as a victory for communist forces, rather than the stalemate it was. Red banners recalling the North's "triumph" hang prominently in Pyongyang's main square.
North Korean soldiers and civilians laid floral baskets and bowed Sunday at the foot of statues of Kim Il Sung, the national founder who launched the Korean War with an invasion of the South.
Officials laid wreaths and observed a moment's silence at the Friendship Tower, a Pyongyang monument, for the Chinese troops who died in the war, according to state media.
North Korean newspapers carried editorials celebrating a "brilliant victory" in the "fatherland liberation war" and promising "the era of new victory in the anti-imperialist, anti-U.S. confrontation."
In Seoul, South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun urged North Korea to participate in talks with the United States and its allies to end the monthslong dispute over its suspected nuclear weapons programs.
"I strongly urge the North to abandon its nuclear ambition and to opt for the path toward peace and coexistence," Roh said at the city's Korean War Memorial.
"When North Korea chooses this path, South Korea and the rest of the international community will not spare all necessary aid."
The war pitted South Korea and a U.S.-led United Nations force against North Korea, which was backed by Chinese ground troops and Soviet aid. The 1950-1953 Korean War ended in an armistice signed at Panmunjom after two years and 17 days of cease-fire talks between the U.N. Command, North Korea and China.
For Eddie Wright, a former Australian infantry corporal who served in Korea for three years, it was clear who eventually won the war. South Korea has blossomed from the ashes of war to become the world's 12th-largest economy while the North has sunk into isolation and poverty.
"When I was here, there was nothing standing," Wright said. "Seeing what I have seen here in the past few days, high rises and all, it amazes me how they have recovered here."
A tearful Fred Daniel Bertrand, a former U.S. Marine sergeant, said the "most difficult part of the war was what you left behind, your buddies, people who didn't make it."
Retired Lt. Col. Don Graft of Ft. Myers, Fla., fought battles around Panmunjom in 1953 as an artillery battery commander for the 25th U.S. Infantry Division.
"Sitting up on the hill and freezing. Yes, that was the war," he said.
The morning ceremony at Panmunjom was timed to coincide with the hour the armistice was signed — 10 a.m. local time on July 27, 1953. An evening ceremony, including a 21-gun salute, was held at the U.S. military headquarters in Seoul to mark the time the cease-fire took effect 12 hours later.
At Imjingak village near the border, 1,000 anti-American activists rallied Sunday, accusing Washington of aggression on the Korean Peninsula. They called for peaceful reunification of the divided Koreas and shouted, "No war!"
The ongoing nuclear dispute flared in October, when U.S. officials said North Korea admitted having a secret nuclear program in violation of international agreements.
U.S. officials, who believe North Korea already has one or two nuclear bombs, are seeking a diplomatic solution to entice the North to give up its program, and South Korean officials say talks with the North could come in August.
North Korea wants security guarantees and economic aid from the United States.

[the_ad_placement id="before-post"]The last time we saw Shah Rukh and Kajol together, we had the perfect reasons to fall in love by watching them together. For the 8th time, Bollywood's most romantic couple are going to appear together again in the movie Dilwale which is going to hit the screens on December 18th, 2015. Directed by Rohit Shetty and produced by Gauri Khan under Red Chillies Entertainment, Dilwale also has Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon as another lead pair.
[the_ad id="2495″]
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
// ]]>
Dilwale started somewhere in 2014 when Rohit Shetty got a thought to get Kajol and Shah Rukh together for his next. He worked with Shah Rukh on Chennai Express which went on to be a huge hit. After starting the project, he also pulled in Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon to play the other couple in the movie. The music of Dilwale is composed by Pritam. The music album is already a super hit, especially the songs like Gerua and Janam Janam are stealing hearts.
Shah Rukh and Kajol appeared in movies like Bazigar, Dilwale Dulhania Lejayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hain, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, Karan Arjun, My Name Is Khan and Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. Their last movie My Name is Khan released in 2010 and so they are going to sizzle together after five long years.
Dilwale is said to be a love story with action elements in it. So yes, it will have the Rohit Shetty wale cars flying in the air and you just sit there helpless. However, since there is a guaranteed entertainment factor, we have nothing much to worry about the story. We will update the information about the story after the movie releases.
Dilwale is undoubtedly the must watch. Irrespective of how critics receive it, the movie has Shah Rukh and Kajol in the lead roles. That pretty much fills your desire. However, there are some pre-release tweets which we want you to see.
Audience Review :
Dilwale: When U Spend Ur Hard Earned Money On A Movie, Would Want It To Be Worth Every Penny Right?
This Movie Delivers What It Promises.. YES, It Has Everything That One Would Want To Watch..
No One.. I REPEAT, No One Can Beat The Chemistry Of SRK-KAJOL.. Being Single I Felt Jealous Seeing Them Romance, They Are That Good
Varun After Giving 5 Hits Is Back Again In Full Form & Kriti Is Seriously Someone To Look At In The Future, She Looks Gorgeous.. Ladki Pe Pyaar Agaya Hai *__*
The Supporting Star Cast Is Brilliant And The Soul Of The Movie.. Small Small Things They Do Brings Smile On Ur Face ^__^
End Was Not Rohit Shetty Type.. But When It Ends U Will Have A Smile On Ur Face..
Awesome Songs.. Well Executed Action Scenes.. And It Has A Mixture Of All.. From Romance To Action To Comedy To Drama..
Go Watch It With Ur Family.. PAISA Wasool..!!

We all know the story about the Founding Fathers crafting together the Declaration of Independence. They tried until they tried out, to live in harmony with the British Empire. But being nice and trying to get along just was not cutting it. The abuses of King George were cruel and sometimes bordered on insanity. More and more, the British Empire wanted to take advantage of the prosperity the growing population of New England were achieving through hard labor and thrift. The concept of the freedom to prosper, live for their own sake and freely worship God without the Anglican church telling people to seek God their way or the highway.
To many of the Founders and settlers alike, the freedom to seek true liberty through Jesus Christ was as important, in fact more important than the other unalienable rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights. They understood that both true Liberty and freedom are derived from liberty in Christ and inspiration from the word of God. It is what gave them the principles and moral fortitude to introduce a Constitutionally limited republic. The one mistake in Judgement they made was to believe that Americans would always seek to understand and protect our unique and wonderful nation.
The Declaration of Independence was written as a proclamation to the world of their reasons for separating from England. Though the founders did not know it at the time, what they through Providential guidance started here in America was to be a shining example for other nations to adopt to liberate themselves from the shackles of tyranny, lack and false religions. The Founders were discouraged to learn about British government plans to obliterate their Christian faith which included a belief in a direct one on one relationship with their creator. They were prepared to defend 'the laws of nature and of nature's God" words that define the principle upon which the Founders stood.
The laws of nature were understood to mean the will of God for man as revealed to man's reason. However, because man has fallen and his reason does not always properly comprehend this law, God gave his law in the Bible to make it absolutely clear. Thus, it was the churches that became the primary source that stirred the roaring fires of Liberty, telling the colonists that the English government was usurping their God-given rights, and the King and Parliament were violating the laws of God.
It was the New England Ministers in particular, who were decisive in rallying the popular moral support for war against the British Crown. They energetically pressed their congregations to overthrow King George because they believed that rebellion to tyrants was obedience to God. From pulpits throughout the land, ministers recruited troops and strengthened them in battle with patriotic sermons. We could certainly benefit from having more brave ministers today, but greater details about that in an upcoming column and pages from The Edwards Notebook radio commentary.
While church leaders were well schooled in the fact that the Bible place emphasis on due submission to civil authorities (Romans 13), they noted there are also many passages that approve resistance to ungodly authority. For instance, when the apostles were commanded by the Sanhedrin to cease preaching that Jesus Christ had risen from the dead, Peter boldly asserted: "We ought to obey God rather than man" (Acts 5:29). There fore it is no coincidence that one of the watchwords of the American revolution was "No King but King Jesus." For most of the patriots, their faith gave them the courage to stand on God's word and risk their lives and properties to break the tyranny of an unjust human authority. In their Christian world view, obedience to God took precedence over country or government, and their primary allegiance was to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thus, it was through their obedience and allegiance to God that the Founding fathers, not only wrestled their newly formed republic from the bullying British, but through God's grace and promise formed a more perfect union. Today "We the People" are blessed with the framework and widow of opportunity to reestablish and build upon the great vision of one nation under God with Liberty and Justice for all. I for one believe we together will make America greater than ever before. Truly, the American Declaration of Independence is much more than simply freedom from England. God Bless you, God Bless America and May America Bless God.

In a message addressed to Bishop Alain Planet of Carcassone and Narbonne, Pope Francis expressed his closeness to all those affected by a terrorist attack that left four people dead and 15 injured on 23 March.
The Pope said he entrusts to God's mercy all those who have lost their lives and assured their loved ones of his closeness.
In particular, he recalled Arnaud Beltrame's "generous and heroic" gesture who gave his life to protect the lives of others.
"I renew my condemnation for such acts of violence that cause so much pain and fervently ask the Lord for the gift of peace" he said "invoking on the affected families and on all the people of France God's blessings".
The attacker was shot dead by police after killing and injuring a number of people in separate incidents, including taking hostages at a supermarket in the town of Trèbes.

Transurban Queensland's $512 million Logan Enhancement project was a multi-faceted effort to mitigate traffic along the Logan motorway as well as improve the communities economy – and Artcraft were awarded the contract for all signage involved.
In conjunction with the Better in Blackall Festival, Artcraft has created a truly unique and innovative sign that stand at 7.5 m tall – acting as a beacon to all who pass it.
During my time as the Contracts Manager on the Tugun Bypass project, I used Artcraft on numerous projects replacing, repairing major sign structures. I found them to be extremely capable and easy to work with, no issues were to problematic regarding design, manufacturing and installation.
Lendlease (Tugan Bypass Project)
City of Gold Coast
Lendlease (T2E)
I have always found Artcraft easy to deal with and very reasonable when it comes to commercial discussions and handling changes in scope. As a project manager, this is a key non-priced factor for myself in selecting Artcraft over other contractors. They also have a collaborative attitude, always willing to work in with the site team and show up when required.

Yes. We have interpreters who are experienced in fields such as legal and court interpreting, medical interpreting, business and British Sign Language interpreting amongst others.
We always match the interpreter to your needs so if you have a specific subject and certain terminologies which you will be using, please let us know and we will endeavour to find a linguist with experience in the field you are covering.
No. We have around 7000 linguists based all over the country. However, we always source your nearest available interpreter.
Yes. Please phone 01635 866 888 for details or email us at email@example.com
Consecutive interpreting (CI) is where the interpreter speaks after the source-language speaker has finished speaking.
The interpreter listens to, and may take notes of sections of the speech as it occurs. The speaker pauses and the interpreter then speaks either the section, or the whole message in the target language. The speaker and interpreter are usually in the same room, although interpretation may also be carried out over the telephone.
Simultaneous interpretation (SI) (or extempore interpreting) is where the interpreter translates the message directly from the source-language into the target-language as quickly as they can, while the source-language speaker continues to speak.
The interpreter usually sits away from the speaker, although within sight of them, listening and speaking into a microphone which relays their interpretation to the target listeners through their headphones.
Basically, consecutive interpretation stops and starts while simultaneous interpretation is continuous.

We well know that many metallic devices implanted in the heart may create problems in the very intense magnetic field of MR imaging. From several excellent reviews,1,2 we can better appreciate the interaction of magnetic resonance imaging and the metallic devices we implant in patients. It is important to recognize that there are three mechanisms of strong magnetic fields which may produce risk to patients. These are: 1. The attraction effect of a static magnetic field. 2. The electric current generation effect of a gradient magnetic field. 3. The heating effect of focused radiofrequency energy emitted by the MRI scanner. The static magnetic field of most MRI scanners (independent of MRI activation) ranges from 1.5 to 3.0 Tesla. The magnetic strength of these devices (which are always on) is 25-75,000 times the strength of the magnetic field of the earth. The risk from a static magnetic field is the attraction of a ferromagnetic object into the scanner with rapid acceleration, making the object a projectile. The attractive effect may also cause an implanted device to be moved, dislodged, or travel toward the magnet. Similarly, any magnetic component within an implanted device may move toward the magnet and thus change the activity of that device (e.g., pacemakers). The responses of metals vary with higher magnetic field strengths. Some devices which will not be affected by 1.5 Tesla may be greatly affected by a 3.0 Tesla. A gradient magnetic field is used to produce an image from the MR scanner by changing the magnetism (i.e., the intensity of the Tesla) quickly over each second of the measurement period. Recall that electricity can be produced by spinning a magnet inside tightly coiled wires. Thus, the rapidly changing magnetic gradient fields may induce an electrical field within metallic conductive wires and leads, which may then cause arrhythmias. However, this is a relatively uncommon event given the strengths of most MR magnets. Gradient fields may produce microvoltages that can produce ECG aberrations and alter the appearance of the electrocardiogram. Occasionally, inappropriate inhibition of pacemaker function or creation of an arrhythmic artifact on loop recorders may occur in large gradient fields. The third effect of MRI is the generation of radiofrequency energy (RF). During MR imaging, RF energy is pulsed into the body to alter cellular magnetic fields and generate the MR image. The RF energy is pulsed in, and the resultant energy released by the realigning fields of the cells is measured in time and space, hence the MRI image. Some of the RF energy is absorbed and can cause heating of a metallic implant. Certain metallic devices such as pacemaker leads can act as antenna and concentrate radiofrequency energy at one point. Excessive local heating at the tip of these implants has been reported. Fractured pacemaker leads may pose a particular high risk of thermal injury. The concentration of radiofrequency energy is device-dependent and varies with field strength. Is Your Device MR Safe? The American Society for Testing of Materials (ASTM) International has a new set of terms to describe implants subject to MRI. These are: 1) MR safe, 2) MR conditional, and 3) MR unsafe. These names are now applied (but not mandated) to many of implants and devices overseen by the Food and Drug Administration. MR safe means an item poses no known hazards in all MR environments. These include nonconducting, nonmetallic, nonmagnetic items such as plastic forceps, dish or cup. MR conditional means an item has been demonstrated to pose no hazard in a specific MR environment under specified conditions. An MR environment is then defined for the implant. The conditions would include static magnetic field strength, spatial magnetic gradient, or radiofrequency energy and specific radiofrequency absorption rates. Additional conditions may be described for an implant to carry the label MR conditional. An MR unsafe item is that which poses a hazard in all MR environments, including any magnetic items such as a pair of ferromagnetic scissors, clips, or other such tools. Let's look at some examples. A non-ferromagnetic passive implant carries no concern for MR-related risk of heating, injury or movement. When patients have a weakly ferromagnetic implant, MR examinations generally produce only a weak attractive force to move or dislodge coils or stents which are firmly implanted in tissues, and are unaffected by the attractive magnetic forces of an MR examination. Tissue healing after device implantation provides additional anchoring, and thus it is safest to wait at least six weeks before MR imaging of many of these devices if the true MR implant status is unknown. Table 1 shows common implanted devices and their MR labeling.

Young Anmar left for school one morning just as she had every other day. To her horror, when she arrived, the building where she had spent every weekday for her education was reduced to rubble.
Her family quickly fled for their lives from their home in Aleppo, Syria and sought safety in Turkey. Anmar's parents, Ammar and Fatma, worked hard in Turkey trying to provide for their family with little pay and rough living situations. On top of the already stressful environment, their son with special needs could not receive the proper health care to help him live well.
Four long years after this harsh uprooting from home to impoverishment, her family was transitioned to the United States through an organization called World Relief. This organization helped Anmar's family build connections in the States and they are now contributors to society in a number of ways. Anmar can now attend school without fear of bombings and her brother has the health care he needs. The peace they have now cannot be put into words after such a traumatic upheaval of their lives.
The United Nations declared that we are currently in the midst of the "worst refugee crisis since World War II." This issue is not going away but rather increasing.
The World Relief website states, "Over 65 million people around the world are currently displaced from their homes. Each day, that number grows by 22,000. Families are fleeing for their safety, looking for a new place to rebuild their lives."
The true definition of a "refugee" according to international law is, "Someone who leaves their country because of a well-founded fear of persecution for one of these five reasons: race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group," according to the World Relief website.
According to the annual UN high commissioner for refugees (UNHCR) global trends report, half of the world's refugees are children. These children, who travel alone or in groups to seek sanctuary, often fall prey to human traffickers.
In the midst of this chaos and turmoil people would expect that America, the land of immigrants and freedom, would be leading the charge to protect these vulnerable populations. In the past, the United States has been the hope that many refugees, like Anmar's family, have clung to as they faced unimaginable terrors.
However, recent developments in the government have done exactly the opposite. 40 years ago, The Refugee Act declared that the President would be given power to determine an annual refugee ceiling (the limit of how many refugees can enter the United States). In the past, this limit has reached up to hundreds of thousands.
According to The New York Times, the Trump administration announced last Monday that they intends to set the cap at 30,000 individuals. This is the lowest ceiling ever set since the Act was put in place decades ago.
Normally once a ceiling is set, it becomes the administration's goal of how many refugees to bring in. This past year the ceiling was set at 45,000, yet only about 21,000 refugees have been admitted, according to the Boston Globe.
The cap reflects "Our commitment to protect the most vulnerable around the world while prioritizing the safety and well-being of the American people, as President Trump has directed," Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo said.
World Relief staffer Matthew Soerens greatly disagrees with this stance. He supports the idea that we must prioritize the safety of American citizens. However, no refugee brought into the U.S. since our vetting system was put in place has ever taken the life of an American citizen. Logistically, the fear of them is truly an irrational one. They are seeking the best life for their families and desire to contribute to the community they move into.
What many do not realize is the truth that a large portion of these refugees seeking asylum are Christians being persecuted for their faith. Our brothers and sisters are being forced to stay in locations where genocide and violent religious prejudice daily threatens their very lives.
"Based on Soerens's analysis, Christian refugee admissions are plunging as only 18 Iraqi, 9 Syrian, and 5 Iranian believers have been accepted into the U.S. so far this calendar year," said Griffin Paul Jackson of Christianity Today.
In locations where refugees are most fiercely persecuted, thousands are seeking asylum in the states but only 699 of them were allowed in this year.
"That's a 70 percent decrease from the 2,272 Christians resettled from those countries in the same period in 2016," said Soerens.
Soerens feels that the vetting staff at our borders has done a great job over the years protecting our nation with our current system and is sufficient without cutting the amount of refugees admitted into the country. Cutting back on the influx of refugees not only hurts those trying to enter but it also hurts ministries and organizations whose mission is to welcome the foreigner and help them adapt. Nonprofits like World Relief have been forced to lay off staff and close down certain programs due to a lack of refugees being allowed in.
This refugee issue is not about politics, it is about people and our responsibility as Christians to "love the foreigner among us" (Leviticus 19:34). As citizens we have a voice in the matter while many of these families have none. Simply calling your senators and representatives helps inform our government that we value the lives of our persecuted brothers and sisters. You can help make a change by simply sharing that you are not okay with such a low refugee ceiling or the treatment of families at our border. Your voice may be one but when paired with others it is a flood that breaks down walls.

Our own research has shown that the spread of influence in social networks obeys what we call the Three Degrees or Influence Rule. Everything we do or say tends to ripple through our network, having an impact on our friends (one degree), our friends' friends (two degrees), and even our friends' friends' friends (three degrees). Our influence gradually dissipates and ceases to have a noticeable affect on people beyond the social frontier that lies at three degrees of separation.

Two-dozen House Republicans broke with their pro-defense brethren Thursday and helped Democrats kill an amendment that would have barred the military from funding transgender sex reassignment surgeries and hormone therapies.
The amendment to the annual National Defense Authorization Act, which sets out policies on America's $696 billion military budget, failed 214-209, with all Democrats and 24 Republicans opposing.
It means the military health care system will be called on to provide such surgeries as routine treatments for the first time, unless the Trump administration changes Obama-era policies that allow transgender troops to remain on duty.
The amendment was brought by Rep. Vicky Hartzler, Missouri Republican and a member of the House Armed Services Committee, who said the military will be obligated to spend $3.7 billion the next 10 years on sex change operations.
She said the money could better be spent on weapons and readiness accounts at a time when troops are fighting Islamist terrorism and facing possible showdowns with North Korea and Russia.
"This amendment does not prevent anyone from joining the military or receiving standard medical care," Mrs. Hartzler said. "It simply makes sure our defense resources are allocated in a way that is smart and good for our national defense. This current policy of providing and paying for transgender surgeries hurts readiness."
California Rep. Paul Cook
California Rep. Jeff Denham
California Rep. Steve Knight
California Rep. Darrell Issa
Colorado Rep Mike Coffman
Florida Rep. Carlos Curbelo
Florida Rep. Lena Ros-Lehtinen
Florida Rep. Brian Mast
Michigan Rep. Justin Amash
Michigan Rep. Jack Bergman
New Jersey Rep. Leonard Lance
New Jersey Rep. Frank Lobiondo
New Jersey Rep. Tom MacArthur
New York Rep. John Faso
New York Rep. Elise Stefanik
New York Rep. Tom Reed
New York Rep. John Katko
New York Rep. Claudia Tenney
Pennsylvania Rep. Ryan Costello
Pennsylvania Rep. Charles Dent
Pennsylvania Rep. Bill Shuster
Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick
Virginia Rep. Barbara Comstock
Washington Rep. David Reichert
The vote came as Defense Secretary James Mattis has ordered the military branches to study the impact of President Barack Obama's decision last year to allow open transgender troops to remain on duty rather than being automatically discharged.
Left to Mr. Mattis is a decision on whether to induct transgender people into the military. Facing a July 1 deadline, Mr. Mattis delayed a decision until at least January.
Democrats, for whom the LGBT community is a major constituent, opposed the amendment on grounds that all Americans should have a chance to serve and receive medical treatment.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, called the amendment "appalling" and "mean spirited."
That brought a response from Rep. Duncan Hunter, California Republican and a former Marine Corps officer. He called the Democrats' objections "the silliest opposition to an amendment I've ever heard."
He urged military candidates to "figure out if you're a man or a woman before you join … Let's make America great again."
But Rep. Adam Smith of Washington, the Armed Services Committee's top Democrat, said: "This amendment takes us in the wrong direction … The people who have been fighting for and protecting our country will be able to do it openly."
In another Democratic victory, the House defeated an amendment to kill the requirement that the Pentagon provide Congress with a report on how climate change is affecting the armed forces.
Similar to how the transgender amendment's backers argued, sponsoring Rep. Scott Perry, Pennsylvania Republican, called the rule an unnecessary demand not related to military needs.
"Drip by drip we have watched our military's focus eroded," he said.
But Rep. Elise Stefanik, New York Republican and chairwoman of the Armed Service committee's emerging threats subcommittee, said Congress needs the information to determine the military's long-term plans.

Transition Time: Following an Older, More Experienced Volunteer Dog
"Whatever Happened To . . . " is a new feature at e-Volunteerism. Periodically, we plan to revisit articles from past issues to see what has been happening since we first published the stories. Here we update two articles by revisiting animal contributions from the past.
You may have read the article, "Volunteering Through the Eyes and Ears of a Dedicated Dog Volunteer," written (so to speak) in 2003 by a beloved therapy dog named Mikey. In a return to our tradition of encouraging canine contributors, e-Volunteerism presents a new dog author named Sammy. In this article, Sammy explores what it's like to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor – not only in the volunteer world of therapy dogs but in the hearts of those who own him.
In the weeks ahead, we'll catch up with recent news from a true dog lover, Betsy McFarland of the Humane Society of the U.S. She will update readers on her earlier article, Animal Rescue: Another Heroic Volunteer Effort during Hurricane Katrina, and describe some important national changes when it comes to pets caught in the throes of natural disasters. This addition to Whatever Happened To . . . will be posted in February.

People who have undergone the major causes of stress can know its effects on everyday life. Stress is apparent from minor pressures that go ignored to rare traumatic situations. Many grieve from a mental breakdown, and diseases when they are unable in dealing with stressful situations.
But, what are the common causes of stress?
Each one has different stress triggers. A standard task for an individual can turn out to be a stressful task for other. Let us explore the various common causes of stress.
According to surveys, work stress tops the list as most of us spend utmost of our lives at work. Possibly, it is unsurprising that the workplace is a crucial source of stress. Professional stress does not only affect the individual in question but can also affect the organization.
Decreased output, frustration, prolonged arguments; relationship with a colleague, and the list is never-ending. Drawing a line between professional and personal front is essential. Resisting the urge to catch up with work at home can help prevent workplace stress from spilling into other areas of one's life.
2. Stress in Social Life
To match the output delivery of peers encompassing a person, the pressure to confirm one's presence in a circle causes stress. An aspiration towards ideals plus success fostered by the media can be unrealistic and unhelp.
People often envy when their surrounding group of people excels in life and when they don't. It turns out to be a vital stress factor. Individuals take it as baggage to prove their worth to the social circle one is into. It is essential to avoid such thoughts and believe in one's capacity and ability to work.
3. Stress due to Health
Unavoidable fear of the well-being of loved ones or a friend's health leads to the frequent causes of stress. Undergoing illness, plus loss of control over situations are the notable effects of stress on health can drive to a persistent worry.
An individual concern more about viable current and future situation. Besides, stress induced by health worries can direct to the problems. Psychologically, the general adaptation syndrome drains our energy reserves that help cope with a stressful situation. The health concern is essential, but excessive worry can turn into unmanageable stress.
4. Stress due to Financial Worries
Financial worries, one of the important common causes of stress, affects most of us and cause additional stress. It will become a burden on the person and the people close to them.
The idea of living luxuriously, increasing bills, loans and the credit card bills helps create a reason for financial insecurity. In a marriage, the stress of financially supporting a spouse is another factor contributing to stress. If left unattended, financial worries might have a big impact on life.
The tragic events of the past are a vital source of stress. In general, people are hindered in past experience, and traumatic stress can continue to influence for years. Post-traumatic stress affects current life.
Unproductive days, laziness, drowsiness, irritation, and anxiety are some of the common syndromes.
6. Stress due to Changes in life
Getting a new job and moving home are some of the most stressful life events one can undergo. More often than not, any situation that requires change, whether positive or negative can be a source of stress. A sudden change in the daily routine and the difficulty of adapting to the circumstances lead to stress.
One should always practice effective stress management techniques to avoid unnecessary stress. The sooner the one identifies the causes of stress, the healthier it is.

Have you ever felt like you've been plowed as a garden is plowed?
Many times in life while trying to walk upright before God it seems like you have been dealt a low blow.
Everything you go to do ends up in major disappointment. You keep going, believing that will not happen to me anymore, but to much surprise something even bigger than what previously hit your life is upon you. You begin to pray more than ever before and for a small season it seems like finally God is going to get this thing out of your life.
Next come the Devils to pick your reputation apart. They tell you how God doesn't care about you and more things keep coming upon you. After awhile it seems like you are fighting a losing battle. Your friends and family begin to think that there must be something you are doing wrong with your life.
You are more determined to get help from The Lord Jesus and its seems as if he does not hear you.
Now you are at a place where you just don't have any fight left in you and suddenly everything is beginning to bring favor.
I myself have experienced much of this same type of events many times over in my own life and now looking back, how thankful I really am!
You see what I didn't understand at the time,,,I HAD TO BE PLOWED. Just as a natural garden must be plowed and conditioned so that the ground is good for that good seed.
Jesus spoke about the SOWER and THE SEED that went forth to sow seed in his field. He explained the parable to his disciples that The sower was God and the field is the world. Some seed fell on stony ground. Some seed fell by the wayside. Some seed fell among thorns, BUT some SEED fell on GOOD GROUND. All the seed that fell everywhere else and not on the good ground because of not being prepared for this great seed withered away and never did develop to what it was to become. The seed that fell on good ground in its growth brought forth much fruit. The first season it brought forth 30 times more and later it brought forth 60 times more. It even doubled. Now this good ground is going to bring forth 100 times more.
As this ground was plowed for this blessed production of goods so is our lives after we have been plowed. Take notice when Jesus said, and Some seed fell on good ground. If you fill that your life has been plowed all to pieces you are GOOD GROUND. When he sows seed in you it will surely grow proper and valuable. It will become exactly what the seed it's self came.
Oh praise GOD just to know now his seed is in us and it's going to produce Gods Devine will forever. Friend lift up your voice and rejoice that God chose you to become good ground.
Jesus knows where his Garden is. Stay strong dear believer, God watches over the garden that he plants. ~Bro. James Ferguson
