What planning does your church need to carry out in an effort to provide stewardship to the homeless?

The Commission introduced the Copyright (Optical Discs Plants) Regulations in April 2007, (following the release in December 2006) to bring the activities of optical discs plants under a strong regulatory regime, thereby addressing the problem of optical discs piracy from distribution/sales to the point of production.
Basically, the scheme requires every optical disc manufacturing plant and importer in Nigeria to register with the Commission. It also makes it mandatory for the plants to maintain specified records of all their activities.

Planned Giving
Planned Giving
Many people affected by mental illness—those diagnosed, their friends and families—have a significant history of remembering the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation in their estate plans. These gifts have been responsible for funding cutting-edge research ranging from the work of Dr. Herbert Meltzer and the use of the antipsychotic drug, Clozapine, on treatment-resistant schizophrenia patients to the pioneering work of Dr. Helen Mayberg using Deep Brain Stimulation for treatment-resistant depression.
Because we can't give up on the 1-in-5 people diagnosed with a mental illness. With federal funding drying up, the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation plays a critical role in the research field. Our role is to provide much needed seed grants, or proof of concept support for fresh, innovative ideas – that, in turn, open the doors to even greater funding so the ideas can become breakthroughs in the understanding and treatment of mental illness. Your Bequest will support the next generation of researchers who will be discovering and developing improved treatments, therapies and ultimately cures for these debilitating illnesses.
You can direct your attorney to name Brain & Behavior Research Foundation as the beneficiary of a percentage of your estate, of a set dollar amount, or of a particular asset (your home, jewelry artwork, etc.) Your estate is entitled to an estate tax deduction for the full value of your Bequest.
Another possibility is to name the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation as a contingent beneficiary of assets you have designated for a loved one, should that person no longer be alive at the time of your death.
Your attorney is in the best position to recommend which approach is best.
[Suggested Copy:]
I give and bequeath, absolutely and forever, the sum of $________ (or, __% of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate) unto Brain & Behavior Research Foundation, 747 Third Avenue, 33rd Floor, New York, NY 10017, for its general purposes.
The Brain and Behavior Research Foundation's Tax ID number is: 31-1020010.
When you make a Bequest or other Planned Gift to the Foundation you join a rich history of other supporters who care about the future of mental illness research.
Many estate assets are not transferred through a Will. These include assets in Living Trusts, qualified Retirement Plans, and the proceeds from Life Insurance policies. You may name the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation as a beneficiary of any of these assets or as a contingent beneficiary in the event that the loved one you named as primary beneficiary is no longer living at the time of your death.
IRA, Keogh, or Other Qualified Retirement Plans
Naming the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation as a beneficiary of assets remaining in your qualified Retirement Plans after your lifetime is considered particularly wise tax planning. This is because retirement plans left to individuals, other than a spouse, are taxed more heavily than most other assets. However, estate taxes and income taxes are avoided if the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation is named as the beneficiary.
Life Insurance Policies
Designating the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation as a Life Insurance beneficiary is a simple and effective way to fund our work while simultaneously gaining immediate tax benefits.
- Individual policies. You may irrevocably name Brain & Behavior Research Foundation as owner and beneficiary of a long-standing Life Insurance policy; or you may retain ownership and merely name the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation as the beneficiary. If you choose to name the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation as both owner and beneficiary – irrevocably -- you will receive an immediate income tax deduction for the lesser of your cost basis or the current value of the policy.
- Group term policies. If you are employed, you may be receiving group term life insurance as an employee benefit. If so, the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation can be named as a beneficiary of the entire policy or a percentage thereof.
Gifts that Provide Income
A Charitable Gift Annuity is an investment in both you and the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation that ensures the future of everything that's important to you and your loved ones.
Here's how it works:
A Charitable Gift Annuity is a simple contract between you and the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation established when you make an irrevocable gift of at least $10,000. In turn, the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation will make guaranteed income payments to you or a loved one for the rest of your life.
The income you receive from your Charitable Gift Annuity will depend on your age at the time you enter into the agreement and the number of designated beneficiaries to receive the payments.
Your gift is eligible for an income tax-deduction based on your age and the interest rate you receive. The higher this interest rate is, the higher your deduction will be.

This session began with wrap-up at the Pirate base and the hyperspace journey to Kwenn Station.
During the trip, Dekar tries to reason with Adenn, who is overseeing his torture at the metal hands of 4-7X2-1B.
"I always keep a couple of lines out for information, and I know you're shipping for Progg the Hutt. You guys have put yourselves in an… untenable position by accepting work from Progg. He doesn't want the goods you're shipping for him – he wants YOU. But if you don't deliver the goods, you'll have bounties on your heads so large you won't be able to go near a civilized planet. I'm sorry you all stumbled into my net; it was bad judgment to try to take you all on. I see that now…
"There's only one way out of this predicament for you, though, and I know the course. I can get you out, and into Progg's good graces, if you do what I say. But you'll have to take me with you to Kwenn. That Hutt is very sly, and he's a dangerous, dangerous enemy to have. He makes quite an ally, though, I have to say. But there are all sorts of things below the surface with him. You're deluding yourself if you think you have enough knowledge to make yourselves good with him. There's more information up here than you could ever torture or drug out of me, including why Progg wants you, and you'll need the benefit of all of it, not scattered bits and pieces, to survive this."
Upon reaching Kwenn station, the crew of the Mandalore's Pride noticed a lot of Imperial activity in the system. Six IPV-1 System Patrol Craft and a Carrack-Class cruiser were guarding the system and stopping all inbound and outbound traffic.
One of the System Patrol Craft sent a message to the Mandalore's Pride. "Wayfarer transport, identify yourself and stand down to be boarded."
Once the Imperial craft docks with the Pride, four Imperial Customs Officials board, along with two Navy Troopers and four stormtroopers, all led by Officer Gerdov Qemkin.
As his officials search the ship, they come across a hold full of aliens and a human prisoner locked up in the brig with a screaming decapitated animal-head. Qemkin, suspecting that these could be the Rebels he and the other Imperials have been searching for. He prepares to arrest the entire crew and impound the ship, but some quick talking from Dr. Samosas convinces the Imperial Officer that he should just take the aliens into custody pending determination of their status as rebels.
Unfortunately, that includes Feigren. Qemkin also is curious about Dekar Paurego, who is locked in a holding cell with his former medical experiment, the screaming Sith head. Dr. Samosas claims that Dekar is very ill and was locked up for his own safety. Qemkin considers arresting Dr. Samosas for unlawful imprisonment or kidnapping, but eventually lets her go and takes Paurego back to the Imperial Medical Facility on Kwenn Station. He also confiscates Carn's disk of Imperial Shuttle schematics and Feigren's purple-and-blue painting.
The Mandalore's Pride is given permission to lands at docking bay G33 on Kwenn Station. Adenn calls the comlink frequency listed on the datapad that came with the shipment of barrels. Shortly a voice comes back: "Exit the docking bay and make a left. Proceed fifty meters and take the seventh right. Follow the main corridor until you reach a turbolift lobby. Take any of the turbolifts up to level 57. Then exit the turbolift and make an immediate right. Follow the main corridor for ten meters. Make the first right and continue for another fifteen meters. There will be an empty cargo bay, door unlocked. Bring the barrels."
Their contact, a Gran named Greegkor, is waiting with a hoversled. Greegkor is practically salivating at the sight of the barrels. "You're LATE. We're real thirsty here," he drawls in Basic. He confirms delivery on the datapad and huffs off with the shipment. "Hope you didn't have any trouble."
At this point the gang heads to see if they can get Feigren off the hook. Eventually she is released, as they find no evidence of any Rebel ties, and her story that the stolen Eriaduan painting was not hers, but recovered from pirates and that she was simply on her way to turn it in to the authorities on Kwenn station was corroborated by Dr. Samosas and seems to check out.
But by the time they return to the ship, the docking bay is blocked by a couple of Herglics, a Quarren, a Weequay, three Nikto, and a Geran, his blue face hidden by his atmosphere-helmet. All carry blasters set to stun. The Quarren speaks up in watery-sounding Basic. "Progg wisshes to ssee you now." The party is escorted back to the turbolifts, and are split into various turbolifts with bodyguards, but they rejoin company when the turbolifts stop at level 53 and the party are escorted around a corner to a guarded entryway. They are escorted through by their guards and pass through lounges filled with various beings engaged in sabacc and other games of chance, drinking at bars, and a small music-hall where a band is playing. Past this, they arrive in an anteroom where the guards leave them for about five minutes.
Then they are escorted in to see Progg, who is conversing in Huttese with a purple-hued Hutt and a Hutt wearing full-encasing armor fashioned from overlapping jointed durasteel plates. Progg himself is a large grayish-brown hutt with an eyepatch over his left eye and numerous scars running across his head and neck. Several patches of the Hutt's wrinkled, slimy skin on his right arm and the left side of his head have been replaced with relatively smooth synthskin.
Progg notices the newcomers, and turns towards them, pausing his conversation as he waits to be addressed.
Everyone remains silent, so Progg's Quarren majordomo, speaks up. "Chuba kom ateema soreek o grandio lust Progg du Hutt." (You may now address our glorious host, his honor, Progg the Hutt.)
No one speaks up still, and Femmisk shouts: "Ap-xmasi stupa! H'chu apenkee doe grancha Hutt, mo Progga rodda u!" (Do not be fools! Greet the great Hutt or he will have you destroyed!)
Feigren speaks up and greets the Hutt in a smooth tone: "We're very sorry, Progg. We were simply overwhelmed by your majesty."
Progg: Lude koose tah Kwenn Station, bata konchee payokee reedug? (You brought the cargo to Kwenn Station, but where is the reedug?)
Feigren: Reedug? We brought the water barrels to you as you requested.
"Keel-ee calleya ku kah." (You disappoint me.)
"There was nothing spoken about any reedug, and nothing about it on the datapad manifest. We simply want our pay for hauling the cargo to Kwenn station."
"Noah niboba vesk, see ka tinka no payokee, no creeda." ("We had no written contract. So… no narcotics, no pay, I think.")
"But, Great Progg, we have operating expenses! We cannot continue to fly without fuel and repairs…"
"Jee jeeska forun. Bata chuba tre cheeska jee. Goola poonoo zorze. (I keep my oaths. But you try to cheat me. Act in bad faith.)
Eventually, Dr. Samosas allows that she removed "contaminants" from the water for Progg's safety. She still has the "contaminants" in an undetectable form which can be converted back. Although somewhat annoyed at this duplicity, Progg sees the value to Dr. Samosas' clever conversion. Feigren helps soothe things, and Dr. Samosas and Progg work out a deal to help reduce the debt on Mandalore's Pride at an accelerated rate. The basics are covered in the next post.
The gang also decided to search for information on their new task at a swanky bar, while Feigren invited Femmisk Tor to an evening get-together to discuss business arrangements and strengthen ties.

In the past decade, a number of state, local, and tribal jurisdictions have begun to take significant steps to overhaul their juvenile justice systems - for example, reducing the use of juvenile detention and out-of-home placement, bringing greater attention to racial and ethnic disparities, looking for ways to engage affected families in the process, and raising the age at which juvenile court jurisdiction ends. These changes are the result of heightening awareness of the ineffectiveness of punitive practices and accumulating knowledge about adolescent development. Momentum for reform is growing. However, many more state, local, and tribal jurisdictions need assistance, and practitioners in the juvenile justice field are looking for guidance from the federal government, particularly from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) in the Department of Justice
Implementing Juvenile Justice Reform identifies and prioritizes strategies and policies to effectively facilitate reform of the juvenile justice system and develop an implementation plan for OJJDP. Based on the 2013 report Reforming Juvenile Justice, this report is designed to provide specific guidance to OJJDP regarding the steps that it should take, both internally and externally, to facilitate juvenile justice reform grounded in knowledge about adolescent development. The report identifies seven hallmarks of a developmental approach to juvenile justice to guide system reform: accountability without criminalization, alternatives to justice system involvement, individualized response based on needs and risks, confinement only when necessary for public safety, genuine commitment to fairness, sensitivity to disparate treatment, and family engagement. Implementing Juvenile Justice Reform outlines how these hallmarks should be incorporated into policies and practices within OJJDP, as well as in actions extended to state, local, and tribal jurisdictions to achieve the goals of the juvenile justice system through a developmentally informed approach.
This report sets forth a detailed and prioritized strategic plan for the federal government to support and facilitate developmentally oriented juvenile justice reform. The pivotal component of the plan is to strengthen the role, capacity, and commitment of OJJDP, the lead federal agency in the field. By carrying out the recommendations of Implementing Juvenile Justice Reform, the federal government will both reaffirm and advance the promise of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act.

Okay, I pulled a fast one this week!
For this challenge, we are using CYCI colors which is red, gray, white and black!
I love it!
Check it.. I went with fun and super cute!
A sweet gift card holder!
A sweet gift card holder!
I started by using the Fun Stampers Journey Scalloped Pocket die.
I used wild cherry cardstock from MFT Stamps, which is a 100# cardstock which is perfect for die cuts! Next, I selected a stripe pattern from Richard Garay - make amazing prints pattern paper pack!
I ran it through my SB Platinum, I had to trim the bottom sides a bit, then used Tombow mono to adhere it to the wild cherry layer! I found a fun sentiment from my FJS stamp Feed Me!
I finished it off with a bit of Doodlebug Grey twine!
This makes the perfect gift card holder!
I hope you will join us!
Until next time

Hi guys,
I am using Ubuntu Mate 16.04 on a Raspberry pi, and developing kiosks with this thing.
Here is the thing:
I have all users log-into as "Guest" when they startup.
Ive read somewhere that I can automatically have the system log them into guest upon startup...
I am very interested in this... However, If things go wrong, and it automatically starts up as guest, how do I log-in as root afterwards so I can fix the problem? Thanks


text: So since the 1709 upgrade, I'm seeing the following quite a few times in my event logs: "The beta feature EseDiskFlushConsistency is enabled in ESENT due to the beta site mode settings 0x800000." From my Google searches, I can deduce that this is benign and that I'm nowhere near the only one seeing this, but it's spammy as all getout. Is there any way to at least get it to stop logging it so darn much?

Who Loves TGF??
I was first introduced to bottle cap jewelry at CHA earlier this year. As a matter of fact, it was one of the make at takes at the October Afternoon booth (I think that was it). Well, I have been thinking about how cool and different bottle cap jewelries are so I just have to try them myself!
I used the frogy from the Down by the Pond set. The bottle cap is about an inch in diameter so the frogy didn't fit. What to do? I stamped him on cardstock and shrank him to 50%! Fits the bottle cap perfectly! I colored him with Copic and distressed the edge. I then adhered him to the bottle cap and finished the pendent with an epoxy.
Just the bottle cap is kind of plain so what to do? I added swarovski crystal, crystal pearl and charms to make it more trendy.
Oh and the box! This is my first time making this box. Pretty cool! It's actually great as a gift card box/holder too!
This is how it looks when you open up the box.
Close up... oh, the ball chain is about 18 inches.
So what do you think? My first time playing with bottle caps, my first time making this box! I must say, I am pretty proud of myself! hehe
Oh guess what? I am putting this set in my Etsy store! :) I figure, this pretty necklace deserves to be loved by a TGF fan and not just sit pretty in the box! LOL

The Henry Wallace Brigade was initiated in honor of the late Henry F Wallace. Henry was a journalist, a civil rights and social justice activist and a supporter of the Cuban Revolution his entire life. Henry first went to Cuba as a journalist in the 1940's where he witnessed the brutal racism and inequality under a U.S. supported dictatorship. When Henry returned to Cuba in 1959 he was deeply impressed with the commitment the Cuban Revolution had toward eradicating racism,creating better living conditions for all, universal health care and education and the right to housing. He saw in Cuba an example of how to put human needs before profit.
Henry wrote letters to the editor about Cuba for over 40 years, always calling for an end to the U.S. Embargo of Cuba and the Travel restricitions that keep U.S. citizens from travelling to Cuba. Henry urged people to go and see Cuba for themselves and he made his final trip there in February of 2006, two months before he died. Now 21 Lousivillians are travelling to Cuba in Henry's honor to learn for ourselves about this country that he loved so much. When we return we will share our experiences with our communities. We know that Henry will be with us all the way.

I don't make resolutions, rather I make annual goals. Nothing wrong with New Year's promises – no judgment here. But, reportedly they have a less than 2% success rate. However, you exponentially increase your chance of success and personal growth by setting goals. Personally, when I write down my aspirations and visualize my expectations, I'm more likely to achieve them. For 2009, one of my top goals is to live in the present, shelf my ego while maintaining work-life balance by focusing on my VIPs. I want to ensure my relationships with my Very Important People are a priority. In times of busyness, I have tendencies to shelf my relationships and focus on VDPs (Very Draining People) and VNPs (Very Negative People). NOT ANYMORE. Why put an effort toward folks that suck the life out of you and form only conditional, one-way relationships?
As all of you know, the effect of relationships in our lives simply cannot be overemphasized. When they are in a positive healthy state, tranquility is easy to find. When they go sour, stress, depression and even physical fatigue can result. Because it's so important to foster our relationships with those with whom we care most about, our VIPs, we should purposely place a higher priority on them.
In The Five Love Languages author Gary Chapman makes a very pivotal point for relationships when he writes, "When your spouse's emotional needs are met and he or she feels secure in your love, the whole world looks bright and your spouse will move out to reach his or her highest potential in life." Right then, it hit me: It's not just enough to think about how much I love my most valuable players in life, I have to make sure and tell them. It's a daily decision to put the needs of your spouse, children and best friends before your own. There's a healthy way to love and be loved and to be intimate. Quality relationships require patience, consistency and attention. Too many times, because the rest of life wears us out, we just don't have the energy to put toward the commitment. In reality, you're likely going to have to rearrange schedules, drop some activities and not commit to so many other things that keep you from putting your full energy into your family and other quality relationships. Studies have shown 85% of our joy is rooted through nourishing relationships.
Ask yourself this after a conversation with your loved one, "Did I make that person feel better or worse about themselves about their life?" After all, people are already besieged by doubt and surrounded by negativity that can incidentally be profoundly sobering. One of my top goals is to make certain that after every VIP conversation, the people I love, admire, and respect feel more confident about their situation – about their life. My husband's program, the Life Barometer, is a great resource for growing healthy relationships.
Abraham Lincoln said it this way, "In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." So, let's start putting some life back in YOUR years and love your VIPs with all of your heart and soul in 2009!

In the rapidly growing market of smartphones, Nokia is still playing its part. This company is hard to see in the news, as most of its smartphones don't do good business. But, from past some time, Nokia has been a topic to talk on. The wreath for this goes to Lumia 1020, which was in the rumors from long time, and got announced recently. This smartphone is available in the US, and is soon going to hit the stores in UK. The best part of this Lumia device is its camera, which is whopping 41MP. Other hardware features are quite interesting, too.
Also read: Lumia 1020 VS HTC One VS Galaxy S4
If you are a smart buyer, then you must be familiar with the fact that 'right' smartphone can be chosen by knowing about its cons along with pros. All of you are most likely to be already familiar with plus points of Lumia 1020, but what about its cons and problems? Do you have any idea about the cons of Nokia Lumia 1020? If not, then I would recommend you all to read out this article ahead. This article will surely make it easy to decide whether or not Nokia Lumia 1020 is good smartphone for you.
Nokia Lumia 1020 Cons and Problems
- Almost every tech analyst who has reviewed this smartphone so far has pointed out the size factor as the biggest drawback. Yeah, the size of this smartphone is actually its drawback. The poor dimension structure of this smartphone makes it heavy and slippery. If you hate the bulky devices, then you will hate the Lumia 1020, too.
- This smartphone is in the news because of its whopping 41MP Camera. But, does this high megapixel count ensure the best camera experience? NO! As per the multiple hands-on reviews, the Photography ecosystem of Lumia 1020 is weak. It may be the best camera in terms of quality of picture, but if we talk about the photography experience, then sorry, Nokia Lumia 1020 will make you upset. There is lack of camera apps. It is quite surprising that Nokia did not focus on the apps' side, instead, put its all focus on the megapixel count.
- Nokia Lumia 1020 is blessed with Dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait, but still, the processing speed is not that good as it should be. As per the multiple reviews, multiple apps on Lumia 1020 don't run smoothly. If the speed of any particular smartphone is not good, then it can't earn respect from customers, and therefore, can't do well in the market.
- There is no slot for memory card in Lumia 1020. Although the 32GB internal storage is quite good, but still, slot for memory card would have made the smartphone earn more good reviews.
- The price of this Windows Phone OS based smartphone is very high. $299.99 is what AT&T is demanding for this device along with 2-year contract. In the UK, the smartphone will most likely cost £550.
Wondering if the above mentioned problems and cons of Lumia 1020 make it 'not good choice' for you? Well, the answer can be given by you only. If you can deal with these cons and problems, then go for Nokia Lumia 1020; otherwise, explore the smartphone market for alternate. Have you faced any problem in Nokia Lumia 1020?

As you may know from my last post, a few years ago I went to Grad School. While I never finished, I don't for one moment regret the decision, and one of the main reasons are the great people that I met while there. One of the friends I made while in Ohio is David, an absolutely amazing human being and a spectacular artist. The things that this man can do with a pain brush will amaze you. Well, I'll just let him show you…
David is incredible, but what is even better is what he is trying to do with his art. David is currently working on putting together a show called the "My Idyll" project. With this series, David is re-interpreting the covers of old romance novels and making them more realistic depictions of the real world around us. In the video below (which you should really watch because he explains the project much more profoundly that I can) he describes how most romance novels all have white people on the covers and the settings don't look like real life. And the titles? Give me a break. So, David is re-depicting the novels in a more contemporary and realistic way. The focus on romance is because is it such a large part of our cultural narrative- we are taught a fantasy that may not match our own experiences (this is something I can relate to as a woman obsessed with romantic comedies). Never the less, love is important and should be explored.
Really, just watch this video and let David explain:
I wrote this post today because I believe in what David is doing and I want to share his beautiful work. Check out more of David's pieces at www.sketchbutler.com and on www.youtube.com/sketchbutlertv. And, if you feel so moved, consider giving a little something to the My Idyll project. David- you're the best, keep doing what you are doing!
On an only slightly related note, I wanted to share a video from Upworthy.com that one of my friends posted on facebook today. Take a moment to laugh with Louis C.K. and hear the message about white privilege and not forgetting our history. I think it's too important and funny to not share. Enjoy!

Some of the recommended usage of Bio-essence Bio Spring Water is stated behind the bottle and the list is pretty long!
I have used it on my face and body after exercising and and it certainly helps to cool down my face and body. Not only do I not feel sticky and uncomfortable, I actually feel refreshed. On days whereby I have makeup on, spraying Bio-essence Bio Spring Water on my face does makes my makeup last longer and I also noticed that the oil field around my cheeks are not as active. This is due to the moisturising effect of the water.
For readers who are keen to try out Bio-essence Bio Spring Water, you may want to pay attention here, hehe. 1 lucky reader will be gifted with a 25ml travel-sized Bio-essence Bio Spring Water all you need to do is to provide me with your name and email address in the comment box below. The closing date is 3 Feb and I will randomly pick 1 lucky reader.
Do act fast because even Eden love Bio-essence Bio Spring Water so much that she is guarding it day and night! :)

Beautiful 18k white gold approximately .33, 1/3rd carat diamond solitaire. Very pretty ring! So clean, so crisp and sophisticated. Top quality diamond, it is VVS and VERY sparkly and white. This ring proves it is not the size of the diamond but the quality that makes for a wonderful ring. The diamond measures 4.38 mm across. It is circa late 1960 and in minty condition. Clearly marked 18k . It came to me with a matching 18k white gold band. The band needs a polish as it has slight oxidation but it matches perfectly. The size of both rings are 6 1/4 and they can be resized easily. If you have been looking for a classic setting but one that is elevated in sophistication, this is it.

Kestrel 5000 SL Ultegra Di2 Triathlon Road Bike - 2018
Kestrel introduced the first ever all-carbon race bike in 1987. Since then, the engineers at Kestrel have managed to maintain industry standards with constant innovation to create some of the world's fastest race bikes. Introducing the Kestrel 5000, a purposefully-designed superbike that is Kestrel's fastest to date.
Constructed of an all new 800K high modulus carbon fiber, the lightest and strongest frame possible, the 5000 is designed for competitive triathletes looking for a proven tri-specific weapon with superior aerodynamics that offer optimum comfort and adjustability.
The 5000's geometry is ideal for the demands of long-distance triathlons, with a slightly shorter top tube for a more upright riding position to keep the legs fresh and strong for the run. For Kestrels Ultegra Di2 version, the Shimano Ultegra Di2 features an automatic trimming front derailleur, so you never have to hear the sound of chain rub again. The Dura-Ace bar-end remote TT shifters act with digital push button shifting and are ergonomically shaped for optimal comfort and control. The lever reach adjust fits all hand sizes. The Di2 rear derailleur is pre-programmed allowing you to shift gears quickly and accurately in all conditions. The battery, at the heart of the drivetrain, uses lithium ion technology and guarantees a range of 1,250 miles, which only takes just 90 minutes to recharge.
- 800K high modulus carbon fiber, Kestrel's lightest carbon construction used to date
- Ultegra 11-speed components
- Dura-Ace bar-end remote TT shifters
- The stays, seat post, and seat tube are aerodynamically contoured
- Fully internal cable routing ensures clean airflow over the entire bike
- TRP Aero brakes provide reliable stopping power and excellent aerodynamics
- EMS Pro Aero Seatpost allows for the saddle to be mounted in a wide range of positions
- PF30 bottom bracket offers a stiff pedaling platform

We recently heard a preacher quote from the movie "About Time", and so one evening a couple of weeks ago we decided to watch it. We're not usually the rom-com types so our expectations were pretty low! In the end it was a pleasant surprise and we enjoyed watching.
Without ruining the whole thing, the general storyline is between a father who tells his son that he can travel back in time. It's a family secret and a "skill" that all the males in the family hold. At the end of the movie, the son is reflecting on the use of this "gift", and on the pearls of wisdom his dad told him as he had used this gift throughout his own lifetime:
"And so he told me his secret formula for happiness.. Part one of the two part plan was that I should get on with ordinary life, living it day by day, like everyone else. But then came part two of Dads plan. He told me to live everyday again almost exactly the same. The first time with all the tensions and worries that stop us noticing how sweet the world can be, but the second time noticing."
"And I. The end I think I've learned the final lesson from my travels through time; and I've even go be one step further than my father did: the truth is I now don't travel back at all, not even for the day, I just try to live every day as if I've deliberately gone back to this one day, to enjoy it, as if it was the full final day of my extraordinary ordinary life."
I love those words. So, as I think on the year ahead, it's a reminder to me to take notice. I don't want to live with "all the tensions and worries that stop us noticing how sweet the world can be". Motherhood can make life feel very ordinary and yet extraordinary at the same time. And so, my resolution is this, to:
Take notice
Live slow
Soak in each day
Count gifts
Enjoy the moments
How about you?

A profawk is a portmanteau word, blending the words "professional" and "fohawk". It is a name given to a men's hairstyle that allows the individual to wear it professionally, in a more conservative and business-like atmosphere but also allows the professional to wear it in an edgy and voguish style outside the office.
I saw a lot of guys sporting profawks at the Young Professional's Organization mixer last Thursday.

Frequently Asked Questions:
- How do I join a Joining Group? Ans.: There must be an existing Joining Group first before you can join a Joining Group. You may see it here in the JG Calendar. If there is one, you should mention it as a comment in the Reservation Form.
- If there is no existing Joining Group, what do I do? Ans.: You have 2 options. 1) You may opt not to proceed with the inquiry since there is no group to join. 2) You may opt to start or create a Joining Group. Just fill up the form and make a reservation deposit. Your tour will be posted in the JG Calendar. When someone joins, you will be notified.
- Can I customize my tour itinerary? Ans.: Yes, you may! The posted itineraries here are some of my recommendations based on my experience. But you may change it the way you like it. Just mention it in the comment in the form.
- Are the prices in your Sample Itineraries are in Peso Per Group? Ans.: No, it's in Peso Per Person.
- Are the entrance fees of the spots not mentioned in your Sample Itineraries included in the tour cost? Ans.: If the spot you want to visit is not on my Sample Itinerary, then the cost of that entrance fee is not included. You may visit those spots not listed, but you just have to pay the entrance fee directly to the spot.
- Are the prices in your Sample Itineraries fixed and would not change? Ans.: The prices there are not fixed, and it may change. This would really depend on the local tourism conditions in Coron. Example: Entrance fees change without prior notice. Like CYC Island, this used to be free; but now there is an entrance fee of P100.
- Are your prices the cheapest in Coron? Ans.: My prices here are not the cheapest. But I can assure you that my tours are value-for-your-money. Being the cheapest price would mean that 1) there are many joiners in your tour group, 2) some spots would have to removed and be limited, and 3) some services would have to be simplified.
- What then would be your advantage over other tour agencies in Coron? Ans.: I would say that I have the expertise when it comes to exploring/touring not only Coron, but also the whole Calamian Group of Islands. I am known for Island Overnight trips. Being in this activity since 2008, I would know the most optimized tour. Most likely I would be referred to you by someone who availed my tour offer before. Their Testimonies can also be seen here if you wish to read it.

Caterpillar built its first track loader in 1955.
Caterpillar built its first track loader in 1955. With its pedigree for digging, the track loader has excavated millions of building foundations all over the globe. It wasn't long before customers demanded that the strength and versatility of this machine be adapted to the forestry, demolition, steel mill and waste industries. With Caterpillar built and designed waste handling features, the track loader is now considered the second most useful machines in a landfill (after the compactor). The Cat® 973D is the largest, most powerful track loader in the world, and it's the safest, most environmentally friendly and efficient track loader Caterpillar has ever built. Put it to work in waste, it's designed for it. Read on for more information on the 973D's waste handling attributes, and how they can benefit your operation.
This machine will exceed your expectationsLearn More
Long-term protection for your machine and businessLearn More
Seal Protection Guard Group
Final Drive Abrasion Guards (2)
Final drive guarding protects two ways, first against debris impact loads and secondly from abrasive materials like waste and demolition materials. These drives are manufactured with an abrasion resistant steel for long life.
Front Idler Guard (3)
A front idler guard blocks material from affecting the yoke, link, recoil rod and idler in the drive train.
Lift Cylinder Lines and Position Sensor Guard (4)
Protects the lift cylinder, hydraulic lines and position sensor harness from mud and waste.
Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Tank Guard (5)
Deflects debris away from the hydraulic tank.
Fender Reinforcement
Oil Gauge Guard (7)
Act as a debris barrier that prevents oil gauge damage and debris entry in the engine compartment.
Third Valve Lines Guards (not shown)
Protect steel hydraulic lines for Multi-Purpose Bucket from damage caused by material pushed upward between lift arms when back-dragging. The guards are located at the inner side of the lift arm.
Learn More
Heavy-Duty Bumper
Rear Striker Bar
Designed to prevent large debris from riding up the track and damaging the machine. Also serves as a step for entering the cab.
Tilt Cylinder Guards
Heavy-Duty Swing Open Bottom Guards
Designs to keep you runningLearn More
While guarding will protect most of the machine from impact loads, additional protection is needed to keep smaller particles from clogging air circulation around and to the engine. Following are additional waste handling features that are important to machine uptime.
Windshield Screen
Designed to keep the operator safe from debris that could break the windshield. It's hinged to allow easy access to the glass for cleaning.
Debris Barrier Package
Precleaner with Prescreener
Debris-Resistant Air Conditioner Condenser
Louvered Rear Grill
This grill is designed with louvers angled at 45° to deflect debris.
Trash Resistant Radiator and Coolers
Providing space between radiator fins allows smaller debris to pass through. This promotes better cooling performance and reduces the number of cleanouts. The 973D is equipped with a 6 fpi radiator and coolers.
On-Demand Fan
This feature reduces cooling package plugging, enhances cold weather operation, improves fuel economy and reduces exterior noise. In the waste handling applications, a lower air flow reduces the amount of garbage collected on air inlets which increases the maintenance interval.
Double Grouser Track
Single Grouser Track
Promoting safe, engaged, and productive operatorsLearn More
The 973D has a new cab that promotes comfort and focus on the job. Operators enjoy greater visibility around the machine fostering greater confidence and safety.
Options that make the most of the 973D's strengthsLearn More
For the greatest return on your investment, your 973D should be equipped specifically for the demands of your job site. The 973D comes with two bucket options, trash rack options and a ripper. Choosing the right bucket will make the most of the machine's versatility. Both buckets offer long life and durability in waste applications. • General Purpose Landfill bucket - has a capacity of 4.9 m3 (6.4 yd3) and can be equipped with an optional trash rack for dozing lightweight materials. This bucket is designed for easy loading in stockpile or hard bank materials. Adding the trash rack helps prevent material from spilling over the top and increases dozing capacity by 52%.
• Multi Purpose Landfill bucket - has a capacity of 4.6 m3 (6.0 yd3) and can greatly expand the 973D's versatility. It can act as a typical bucket for loading trucks, dozing waste or digging. It can also instantly change into a dozer-type blade for spreading cover material, or it can sort material with the ability to clamp on to debris. By adding the trash rack to this bucket, its capacity to doze and load material increased 53%.
• Ripper - A 3-shank parallelogram ripper facilitates working in frozen ground and hard materials like asphalt, rocky ground and hard clay. Ripper shank options are available to help improve ripping productivity.
• K Series™ Tooth System - offers options that match the requirement of your job site. The system is easy to change, stays secure on the bucket, and offers long term sharpness.
Service convenience and operator efficiency by designLearn More
Fast Fill Fuel System
In high-hour applications, pausing to fuel can be a drain on productivity. The 973D's fast fill system is capable of adding fuel at 568 L/min (150 gal/min).
Counterweight Package
Machine balance is critical in poor underfoot conditions, load and carry and truck loading applications. Caterpillar offers a counterweight package that provides 1460 kg (3,218 lb) to the rear of the machine. Counterweight is ideal for machines not equipped with a ripper.
Windshield Sealed
The front windshield is sealed to ease replacement in the field and maximize uptime.
Electronic Monitoring System
This system identifies the specific machine issue, displays the fault and facilitates quick resolution by service personnel.
Product Link Enabled
This option can keep vital personnel in contact with the machine, its performance including fuel use, its parts and service needs and out of spec operation or locations. Service is more efficient with advance notice of required parts, and timing can be arranged per your schedule.
Tiltable Cab
This feature allows service personnel to access important drive train and hydraulic components. The cab can tilt 30 degrees in the field with the aid of a hydraulic jack or tilt 90 degrees using an external lifting device.
Maintenance Package Deluxe
Choosing this option when purchasing the machine will add the convenience of quick evacuation for engine oil and sediment flushing of the fuel tank.
Caterpillar has the most experienced dealer network in the worldLearn More
Commitment Makes the Difference
Cat dealers offer a wide range of solutions, services and products to help you lower costs, enhance productivity and manage your operation more efficiently. From the time you select a piece of Cat equipment until you trade or sell it, the support you get from your Cat dealer makes the difference.
Dealer Capability

The tetra pack is a handy invention that can be branded beautifully while still being functional, too. Just look at this great looking pesto package that was featured at the SIAL grocery industry trade show that Sabrina Falone visited in Montreal two weeks ago. It's darn pretty but is the size and shape an efficient use of materials? I'm not sure but I bet my son Oliver, a grade six student, could tell us.
You see, last week over dinner, Oliver told me that the standard juice box style tetra pack is unnecessarily over filling our garbage dumps. It took Oliver and his grade five/six class only one math period to calculate that the same volume of juice could be contained in a cube shaped package, reducing the surface area of the package substantially.
"Less surface area means they need to use less material. That means less garbage and less money for packaging," pointed out Oliver.
He and his classmates wrote a letter to the private label juice brand who sold the juice box they measured to point out their findings and to ask the retailer to consider changing their packages from rectangles to cubes. I hope they get a response.
I expect that even if they don't hear from the company that retailers will be pressuring manufacturers and designers to create more packages that have a minimal impact on the environment; a widely publicized 2007 study by Information Resources Inc. surveyed 22,000 Americans and discovered that about half of respondents consider at least one sustainability factor when selecting purchases. I think this is great news and hope that smart young people and older consumers with money to spend continue to press for change.
Have you made purchase decisions influenced by sustainability concerns? If so, tell us about it.

This is because I'm sure the parents would like a clue as to what we are doing. As the itinerary stands right now this is what we are doing:
This weekend we are traveling to Belur - Halebid. I think we will be seeing a Jain temple.
The next weekend is our free weekend. We are allowed to go on a trip of our choosing but at this point I think we are all going to stay and see Bangalore.
The last week we will take a train to Cochin. After spending a day in Cochin we will move to the Allepy Backwaters and spend the night on a houseboat. Then it is on to Thekkady, where we will see a spice plantation. After that is Munnar, with a visit to a tea plantation. Finally we travel back through Cochin to get to Bangalore again. And then the trip is over and we will be getting ready to come home to the US.
Right now we are taking a brief break from homework. Back to that.

Chaco Canyon is located in the northwestern corner of New Mexico on the San Juan Basin near Four Corners. For four hundred years from AD 850 to 1250 Chaco Canyon was a major urban center for the prehistoric Anasazi Indians. Chaco was remarkable for its monumental public and ceremonial stone buildings, engineering projects, astronomy, artistic achievements, and distinctive architecture. The Chaco Pueblos were the cultural and spiritual center for the San Juan Basin.
Chaco Canyon also was the hub for trade and administration for the surrounding 75 pueblos and settlements, which were linked by 400 roads, some as long as 250 miles, to the canyon. The canyon's bottomland was used for crops which were supported by a sophisticated irrigation system of reservoirs, canals, ditches, and diversion walls that channeled water from rains and the swift flowing river that nourished life in the now dry canyon. Chaco Canyon was unlike anything before or since—considering it was at its peak during Europe's Dark Ages.
By 1000 AD there were as many as 6,000 people living in some 400 settlements and towns (pueblos) in and around Chaco. The most interesting include: Fajada Butte, which was considered sacred by the Anasazi. They created an astronomical observatory, now known as Sun Dagger, and left behind mysterious etchings on stones at the site.
Pueblo Bonito, one of the "Great Houses" is a five-story, eight-hundred-room cliff dwelling built around 900 AD on the canyon's north wall. It contains thirty-seven kivas and is situated to take advantage of solar energy. It is estimated that it took 60 million pieces of hand trimmed and carefully fitted sandstone to build its walls. This was all done without metal tools or precision instruments. Many of these walls still stand which is a tribute to its skilled builders.
The partial excavated Una Vida has one hundred rooms and eight kivas. Chetro Ketl located four hundred yards from Pueblo Bonito has five hundred rooms and sixteen kivas it has an unusual E-shape and its rear wall is 1,000 feet long. Casa Riconada one of the great kivas, located opposite Pueblo Bonito was used for worship and magical initiation. This perfectly round structure is sixty-six feet in diameter and fourteen feet deep. Its uniform wall niches provided storage for religious and ceremonial objects.
Psychics consider Chaco Canyon to be one of the centers of Harmonic Convergence on the planet.
The word kiva means, "world below." A kiva is a subterranean circular room with a fire pit in the center that the Pueblo Indians used as a place of refuse. It was a safe place "where the sipapu" meets the sky"—where the past meets the future. The smaller kivas were used as "living rooms" they were the focal point for the clans where they met to discuss community business, smoke, stay cool in summer and warm in winter, while relaxing. They were also used as holy places at certain times of the year. Women were not allowed in the kivas except to bring food and observe some of the ceremonies.
A "sipapu" is a Hopi word that refers to a small shallow hole in the floor of the kiva; it symbolizes a portal used by the Indian's ancestors to enter this world and to remind the living of their origin earth. So kivas were the place Anasazi's made contact with the spirits of their ancestors that inhabit the underworlds.
Chaco Cultural National Historic Park has seventy-five ancient structures and it spans 35,000 acres. The Chaco Anasazi's were maize farmers not warriors. Among the ruins it is rare to find spearheads or arrowheads. Anasazi craftsmen processed turquoise brought from distant mines into exquisite necklaces, bracelets, and pendants.
It is not known for sure why the Anasazi's abandoned Chaco Canyon but the widely held belief is that natural climatic changes were the cause. A drought plagued the region from 1130 to 1180. Another possible reason is the area essentially became deforested which meant the residents had to walk many miles to obtain firewood in the mountains. There are also many signs the soil became over-cultivated. Continuous irrigation over the centuries without any form of soil enrichment caused the land to choke with alkali. By the 1200s these great stone pueblos lay deserted.
The Anasazi's didn't disappear like some cultures, they instead moved from Chaco further into New Mexico, west to Arizona and north into Colorado. All 20 of the Pueblos in New Mexico today have Native Americans that are descended from the Anasazi. The Hopi Native Americans also have ancestors from Chaco. The Navajo Indians in New Mexico and Arizona have ceremonies, place names, and stories that reflect that the some Anasazi from Chaco must have assimilated into their culture as well.
The Pueblo people, the Hopis, and the Navajo's do not consider Chaco Canyon "abandoned." They believe instead that the spirits of their ancestors still inhabit Chaco. For years they fought to convince the National Park Service to stop excavating and preserving Chaco Canyon. They feel Chaco being the home of their ancestors is sacred ground. Their stance is that "Chaco's houses, rocks, trees, and spirits should be allowed to go back to the earth." In the past the Park Service's attempts at preservation stopped this natural sacred process.
Today the region's Native Americans have won for now the Park Service understands and have ceased their attempts to keep Chaco as it once was. In fact they have backfilled or "reburied rooms" to show their respect for these Native American beliefs.
Within the canyon visitors and employees have seen the apparition of a strange "naked spirit." He is described as very tall, wearing no clothes and he is seen emerging from the sipapu, the sacred holes in the ground in the ceremonial kivas at Chaco. These sightings fit with what the Native Americans already know—for this giant figure is entering from the other side. This phantom is also seen bathed in a blue light and dripping with moisture. Once a park ranger even tried to arrest this spirit for indecent exposure only to see this giant man disappear into thin air. The Hopi's believe this figure is "genius loci," a spirit that feeds off the energies of mother earth. Other spirits of the Anasazi people are sensed in the canyon as well.
There are many places at Chaco today where tourists cannot enter. One is Fajada Butte, which is closed to all access. It is considered too fragile. The great kivas also are off limits. But many people camp in Chaco and quite a few have picked up interesting EVP's around the canyon. Note: many of these are in the various Anasazi languages—Tewa, Tiwa, Keresan, Zuni, and Hopi.
One young man who visited Chaco recently experienced something rather unique. He was camping in Chaco when at sunset he heard ceremonial chanting coming from what appeared to be one of the ruins in the cliff dwellings. He grabbed his camera and headed for the sound. As he approached he saw a very short statured man with a broad head standing to the side of one remaining wall. When he tried to take pictures his camera batteries went dead. He ran back to retrieve his video camera but when he returned the sounds and apparition where no longer there.

Better than Castle in the Sky? Blasphemy. It is better than Howl's Moving Castle, which I didn't like so much.
And this is definitely targeted to an even younger age group than Kiki or Toturo. Not that it isn't enjoyable by anyone of any age.
by thefourthman » Wed Aug 19, 2009 12:53 am
I love Howl's I think it may be my favorite... Castle in the Sky is good, its just that it felt like I had seen that movie three or four times by the time I had seen Nausica and Monoke... I feared for this one for a moment with all the dirty human stuff at the beginning, but it quickly got awesome. In many ways it is similar to Castle in the Sky, only on water. I don't know that it is any younger than Toturo or Kik, I think it is just more... concrete.

Big news. My first Marvel comic in two years and I enjoyed it immensely. I was never that in to Ultimates and was obviously a little out of the loop. The thing was, this was such a fun action introduction back in to the Ultimates world that it didn't even matter.
Clearly some shit had gone down, but this issue was more interested in showing some dudes jumping between helicopters. More power to them!
Being all action, it did lack a bit of substance and was about two minutes long. Not always a bad thing and I guess you probably don't read Ultimates for depth of story telling. It's never going to be Watchmen, but it is going to be fun.
Anyway, this doesn't signal me re-discovering a love for Marvel, but it was certainly a welcome re-introduction at what's going down there.
Nice work.

Ultimate Comics Avengers #1
Like I've read previously, this is like on big fight scene. There is a lack of story really, but it was still pretty awesome. I plan on sticking with it to see where it goes. Usually, I judge a book based on the first issue, and I can tell there's some potential (plus, the art is pretty gorgeous). I will admit too that the fight scene WAS cool. I was expecting more in the story portion, but I'll take what I've been given.
I am a Pacheco fan, so I was expecting this to be awesome. It was pretty good art. Nonetheless, I still loved the art, beginning to end.
And, the ending was pretty anti-climatic, seeing as I've known that particular piece of info for months now.
Story- 6
Art- 8
Overall- 7.5 (I loved that villain variant)

Written by Mark Millar
Drawn by Carlos Pacheco
Generally speaking first issues of series should try and meet a number of targets within their pages. They need to set the tone of the coming issues whilst setting up the story that will run through the series and if in a continuity based shared universe, acknowledge their forebears. But most of all it must create a desire in the reader to continue with this series, which can be done in all manner of ways.
Millar's return to the Ultimate Universe's Mightiest Heroes has the added pressure of expectation not being his first jaunt at these characters and this type of book having been so lauded. He's met these targets to varying degrees in this issue creating and comic that's far from perfect but flawed in almost all the right ways as far as this reviewer is concerned.
We begin with a perfect Millarism, a full page spread of someone swearing, despite that u should really be annoyed at this waste of a page I actually found myself impressed as Fury's reaction serves as an almost meta-textual reaction to not only the shocking events of Ultimatum but the last page of this issues too. This and the next three pages seem to be meant to meet the shared-universe target I previously mentioned. Although the scene is clearly the result of Ultimatum to anyone who knew of the event it does little to really expand on the devastating effect that seemed to be the only "success" of the recently completed event. I'm uncertain of whether the fault lies with the artist or Millar wanted to underplay the event so that he could move on and do his own thing but the two page spread which I'd assume is supposed to indicate devastation of the breadth I've seen in images from Ultimatum and Ultimate Spider-man simply fails to makes an impression on me. The damage to The Triskellion seems miniscule when compared to that meted out to it in the first two volumes of Ultimates, and the puddle Fury and Hawkeye stand in being smaller that those I've seen after a rainy day in London helped even less. Whether intended or not though Millar does move quickly onwards to establishing what seems to be the first arc of this series: Fury and a Black Ops team chasing down a rogue Cap who's pursuing the Red Skull. This segues into the main aspect of the book; the fight against AIM high above Chicago, Millar shines when it comes to fight choreography and this is no exception. A brief interlude showing that Tony Stark has fallen to even lower levels of debauchery breaks the story of the assault which continues with a leap between helicopters and a thrashing for Captain America. This issue concludes with a pulse-pounding leap (which also resulted in my favourite line of the issue "I think you mean awesome") and the main twist of the issue unfortunately revealed months ago and therefore lacking the impact it should have had.
Returning to the aims I laid out at the beginning of the review Millar has met success with virtually all of them. It seems clear this volume of Ultimates will continue the widescreen action style of the first two, with a story involving the chase for Captain America as he in turn copes with the revelation at the end of this issue. It does acknowledge Ultimatum in that opening sequence, the depression of Tony Stark and the acknowledgement that the theft attempted in this issue might not have occurred in a pre-Ultimatum world. Finally Millar most certainly leaves me wanting to come back for more, the most important criteria he must meet. There are flaws, we get Millar's unnecessary namedropping (at least it was an architect instead of the pop star of the moment) as well as his reliance on questions in his dialogue and similar voices amongst the characters and it's understandable that some will complain that this issue lacked any real depth, but I enjoyed it nevertheless.
The art from Pacheco is good, he seems to draw facial expressions and fight scenes equally well with solid composition and motion. It isn't anywhere near Hitch's stuff (which is unfortunately the benchmark Pacheco and all the other artists on UCA will be compared to). Even disregarding that having heard such glowing reviews of his work due to Avengers: Forever I was left underwhelmed. And I simply can't get over how wasteful that two page splash was and do consider the blame to lie mostly with the artist.
Writing: 8.5
Art: 7.5
Overall: 8
I'm back baby!

by Dugan » Wed Aug 19, 2009 8:14 pm
Yeah i thought it was too long, the beginning "this is what first issues need to do" is a bit unnecessary and i'm a bit recappy in places but i'll hone my skills as i do them more regularly again, (incidentally why isn't there a review spin-off thread like at old-rama).
by Punchy » Wed Aug 19, 2009 8:18 pm
I think it's because that Fourthman was the guy really keeping things going, and now that he works for Broken Frontier he can't post other reviews. But maybe there should be one again now that the group is increasing in popularity. I've been thinking of maybe doing a weekly Bought/Thought thread like they have at Millarworld and Jinxworld.

text: I've written a few times on this post about the shortness of breath and chest pain in walking not even far which has got steadily worse. After 2 ECG that's showed a problem along with an Echo showing Hypokinetic inferior wall my cardiologist was almost certain I had blocked arteries so I had a echocardiogram, I had no blocked arteries so an MRI was ordered along with a CTPA. Monday I was taken into hospital with severe chest pain. A marker for Troponin was 20 which on the second reading went up to 30 an indication of a heart attack. The problem is my ECG did not show I was having one so now no one will commit to what has happened. It leaves me waiting for the MRI. I feel very unwell my bloods fir my lupus have come back normal for me. Anyone else heard of this. One dr said ECG aren't always right another one took it has gospel. Feeling very confused. Any advice would be helpful. Stayed overnight in hospital. They have changed one of my tablets to help spasms in the heart and nitro lingual for under the tongue. Unstable angina they first said it was. Not feeling clear on the conclusion.

AUTHENTICATION 225 In this chapter, we are going to discuss different parts of RBAC one by one. 8.1 Authentication In order to use RBAC, users need to be identified. This means that they need to register (or be registered) and log in. Auth provides multiple login methods. The default one consists of identifying users based on the local auth user table. Alternatively, it can log in users against third-party basic authentication systems (for example a Twitter account), SMTP servers (for example Gmail), or LDAP (your corporate account).
