I've had this saw in my restore pile for a while but have been putting it off because it had split nuts and I didn't have a screwdriver to remove them. It's a 14" Spears & Jackson backsaw filed crosscut at 11 tpi with 3" under the back.
Recently on the Saws, using collecting, cleaning and buying forum there has been talk about using aluminum foil and Autosol to clean the saw plate. Since this saw wasn't overly rusted I thought I would give it a try – taping a line in the middle for a little before/after look.
This is the result of about 4-5 minutes of foil scrubbing.
I was impressed. I assume more scrubbing would equal more shiny.
This was when I decided to take the handle off the saw to give it the full treatment but I still didn't have a screwdriver to remove the nuts. I dug into my toolbox and grabbed one of my older large slot screwdrivers and filed the tip so that it fit in the screws slot and then filed a groove in the middle.
Now that I have the screwdriver ready I easily took the handle off the saw.
That's where I will leave off for today. The handle looks good. No cracks or splits. Only problem I see is that both horns are chipped which is an easy fix.

For the interior I cut out elements from Websters papers and raised them with foam core board. I spritzed them with ROCK-A-FELLA BLUE,Concrete, and TREASURED HYMN http://www.shimmerzpaints.com/retail-shimmerz-shop.php. These spritzez create a lot of fun and visual interest to your works.
For the exterior of the box I first removed the glass from the box so that it could be more easily photographed. I then painted the entire box with gesso to seal the cardboard surface. Next I painted it with an ivory acrylic finish and added in a touches of brown to break up the solid color. Once this had dried I started layering the Shimmerz spritzerz on the exterior surface. To prevent the spritzerz from running and create depth I added the paints one at a time. I used the following colors in this order TREASURED HYMN,Concrete, and ROCK-A-FELLA BLUE. I really like how the project turned out and hope my nephew will like New Boots.
This is the box before I added the final sprays of Shimmerz. I love to layer the product to give my projects depth and dimension. I hope you will try shimmerz on your projects I know you will become addicted to paint the way I have. Happy painting!

"Novel Psychoactive Substances" (NPS) are a fairly new addition to the field of substance misuse and something which is gaining more and more popularity among young people and adults alike. There are hundreds of NPS (former 'legal highs' in circulation). They change the way people think, feel and behave and specifically try to mimic the effects of existing illegal substances. They have caused quite a stir in the field of substance misuse over the past few years due to their now widespread availability and use, and they are becoming of particular concern to health professionals across the country due to the health risks posed by these substances.
Substances are constantly being redeveloped to circumvent new drug laws and legislation and with this comes greater risk due the lack of research on such substances and the long term health risks. With the introduction of the New Psychoactive Substance Bill in May 2016 the landscape changed. How has this affected the market? Does this law make NPS illegal to use or own? Find out what the effects of this legislation has been and how it is impacting on Services.

Surgeons Eager for Google Glass in the OR
the MPR take:
Although the wearable technology is not widely available yet, surgeons have expressed interest in incorporating Google Glass into ORs to reduce errors.Dr. Rafael Grossmann, the first general surgeon to use Google Glass in the OR, says that access to patient records via the technology while operating could save lives. Security concerns are still lingering, particularly regarding HIPPA and patient privacy information, but it has been successfully used at Beth Israel Deaconess for accessing past medical history, current vital signs, and triage notes in the ER.
In a few years, you can expect to see doctors wearing Google Glass, just as readily as you might see them wearing a stethoscope, said a group of medical professionals and Glass explorers gathered at Google's Cambridge office last week. "[Imagine] you're about to operate on a patient and you're ...

I spent two wonderful weeks at the resort and I recommend it to you. The setting is beautiful, we have the feet in the sea within ten meters of the room and every night the sunsets are really beautiful . The rooms are simple, clean and really cheap compared to the prices of the island, I think this resort is also one of the cheapest in Bohol. The best thing of Seaside was the friendly staff. I travel often but I have never been feeling so welcome. All local surroundings familiar seaside and often spend their afternoons at the pool or in the cottages which enables to meet many Filipinos, most of whom have become my friends. If you want to learn how to live, eat and smile as the locals , this is the perfect place. Thank you to Gemma and Bruce for their welcome and I would definitely come back during my next vacation in Philippines.
Seaside staff are very lovely and friendly people! From the first moment they did everything to make me feel like home. As a volunteer, I had an exquisite bonding session, followed by a videoke at night the very first day. People are not even colleagues, they are like family members. The food is very simple, but good. Palud is to be avoided for western pallet though.
It is possible to learn a lot of new things everyday here in Seaside when one is eager to talk to the different people, like recipes for cooking with Juliet, dancing moves with Sherilyn, love tips with Ronald. As for the swimming pool, I don't use it much but it is really great to chill out after a full day exploring Bohol. The scenery here is also awesome , it is a mix of infinite "seaside" view, mangrova forest, and there is this river joining the Bohol Sea on which one can rent Banana Boat. It is also possible to drive a motorcycle for cheap, and Dimiao is a very good entry point to travel around Bohol, being not too far from amazing fishermen villages such as Laoay, Lila ... and the mountains (a.k.a Chocolate Hills in Carmen)
Thank you very much for everything!
I have a really great time and enjoy our stay a lot !!
PS : Special dedication message for Sheila who tried her best to speak English (maybe, I don't know..)
This place is well known by the local People all around. I met allot of local Philipinos there, enjoyed the Beach and the Bar.
Every Weekend it's Party time and on the Day you can rent a Motorcycle or just relax on the Beach or the Pool.
If you like Karaoke the staff and the locals really like to enjoy the time with you there.
Was there for two weeks in June 2015 and will miss that place!
I spent quite some time at Seaside Beach Resort in winter 2015. I have to say, this place is simply amazing.
As you walk in you will be welcomed by a friendly stuff and you will find everything you need.
The ocean, the drinks, the pool, great people, the restaurant right inside, I think there's many reasons why people would love to come here.
I highly recommend it.
I actually visited Seaside as part of a work exchange program Gemma and Bruce host for travelers on a budget. After nearly a two week stay at Seaside I'm wondering where the work part comes in? The entire staff at Seaside is incredibly friendly and genuinely wants to get to know their visitors, something essential for me when I travel. I felt at home after only a few days and made friends I'll keep in touch with for years. I can't say much about the food, accommodation or pool as Seaside was undergoing a remodel during my visit, but I have faith that as the changes are complete this will be a magnificent place for locals and tourists alike. Great place to make new friends, relax and of course enjoy a red horse or two 😉
I spent 3 weeks at Seaside in December 2014 and had an awesome time. All members of staff are really friendly and welcoming so that you'll feel at home in no time. At Seaside you'll get the chance to mingle with locals, participate in Filipino pastimes such as the infamous videoke and have fun parties. Seaside is located right next to the sea and has got a brand new swimming pool too. So the choice is yours where you swim and enjoy a sunbath. There's also plenty of stuff to do outside Seaside and there's always someone around to help you organize a trip.
I was very sad to leave as I had made a lot of new friends but I was also sure I'd be back soon! 🙂
Seaside Beach Resort is a very, very special place. Located right on the beach in Dimiao, it's a beautiful area without too many people. Yet, its less than an hours drive to Tagbalaran, Jagna, and the big attractions on the island like the tarsier reserve, the chocolate hills, and the zip line spanning the massive gorge in Lobac. You can explore a lovely sandy beach to the east, or the rocky tide pools teaming with life to the west, both immediately next to the resort. Both beaches are nearly empty all day, and you can enjoy having the place all to yourself. However, nearly every night the bar fills with locals coming to rumpa rumpa (party party), so you can make many Filipino friends very easily. I can not put into words how amazing the staff is, or how wonderful the owner. Everyone always did a superb job of making sure I had something to do, eat, and drink. The staff was very happy to spend their free time chatting it up. Never was I at a loss for someone to talk to, though I stayed there alone. The owner was very kind and let me borrow her motor bike for one whole day, I only had to pay for gas. She also took me, some of the staff, and several other friends out on a boat trip to Pamalican island one day. She provided the food, I merely had to rent the boat for a very reasonable price. Actually, I think I only payed for gas for the boat as well. She also allowed me to go with the staff for free in her boat another day, traveling the much shorter distance to Bajang springs. The food is delicious (try the spaghetti with red sauce) and both food and drink are very reasonably priced. The thatched roof huts, to my surprise, hold up without a leak in the rain. The rooms are nice, big beds and clean. Only cold showers, but at this price in this location you will be hard pressed to find a hot one I think. The KTV starts a little early sometimes, 10:30 or 11:00 AM, too early for someone recovering from a hangover. However, I was easily able to escape down the beach and nap in the sun. Also, the owner said she is working on sound proofing the bar so the noise stays inside. I wish I could give this place 6 starts, seriously in all my travels I have never felt so well taken care of. Staying here felt more like visiting old, dear friends than meeting staff at a resort. I can not wait to return. Go to Seaside, you will fall in love with the place as I have.
Spent 2 days at Seaside relaxing in the hammocks by the sea, swimming in the ocean. The WIFI was so fast really surprised us. Liked our room, A/C and everything. We loved the food they had not to high cause we had little monies. Hated to leave but the owner even gave us a ride with his truck for free. Everyone was so nice to us.
Came from America to visit our family, they suggested we go to Seaside it's a new place with cottages by the ocean and is not to expensive. The place was real good, we all had so much fun, the kids went swimming with their enter tubes they rented while we talked and ate and drank by the ocean. The staff is very accommodating, very clean place. Highly recommend Seaside ...so much to do.
Came with my friend from Cebu to relax and have fun. The owners and staff were so nice, we ate at their restaurant and everything was so good. The view, the beach, the rooms all very accommodating . My friend even made sand sculptures so he was happy. We sing videoke the next day after disco the night before. This was my second time at Seaside. I will be back with more friends.

[Localization] How to switch from a resource to another??
Dear all,
I'm trying to understand how to use Localization API right now.
I have created a resource file, let's say MyResource.rrh (you know that MyResource.rrc automatically generated). The screens and everything that need the resource able to recognize it. Ok, everything goes fine.
And then i created another resource, MyResource_it.rrc. My question is, how can i switch from MyResource.rrc to MyResource_it.rrc ?
p.s Anyone please correct me if there's anything wrong i've written above.
you have to switch the device language to italian
Is there another way other than switching the device language?
I use ResourceBundle to load the resource file which is MyResource.rrc.
private ResourceBundle resourceBundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle(MessageResource.BUNDLE_ID, MessageResource.BUNDLE_NAME);
use Locale.setDefault(). I guess you have to reload your resourceBundle after it.

Thank you, Madam Chair.
Good afternoon. Thank you for the opportunity to appear before this committee as part of its study of motion 103.
My name is Gilles Michaud. I'm the deputy commissioner of federal policing for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
The RCMP has a long-standing commitment and adherence to bias-free policing. In practice, this means that in the performance of their duties RCMP employees treat all individuals equally in accordance with the law and without abusing their authority, regardless of an individual's race, nationality, ethnic origin, colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, age, mental or physical disability, citizenship, family status, socio-economic status, or a conviction for which a pardon has been granted.
Creating respect and valuing diversity is essential for the RCMP, as it is for any law enforcement agency. The RCMP places a high priority on building and developing effective partnerships with communities and other law enforcement agencies to build trust. These relationships are all the more important given that there remain individuals in the country who do not share our values of inclusion and diversity and hold views that are rooted in bigotry and prejudice. Holding and/or espousing these views is not of itself illegal; however, when such beliefs lead to or inspire violence, law enforcement must and does act.
The process by which individuals become convinced that violence against others is a legitimate way to advance their cause is known as "radicalization to violence". In Canada, this most often manifests as acts of violence against some type of identifiable group, referred to as hate crime. The Criminal Code contains specific offences related to hate: sections 318, 319, and 430. Common offences include, but are not limited to, intimidation, harassment, mischief, and uttering threats against persons or property. There are no Criminal Code provisions for violent hate crimes, just sentencing requirements.
Section 718.2 of the code encourages judges to treat violent offences such as murder as hate crimes if there is evidence that the act was motivated by bias, prejudice or hate based on race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other similar factor. Therefore, some type of primary activity must be investigated for hate sentencing requirements to be considered.
Given the nature of these offences, the responsibility for these investigations falls to the police force of jurisdiction in communities across the country. As you know, the RCMP acts as the provincial or territorial police of jurisdiction in eight provinces, three territories, and over 150 municipalities through our contract and aboriginal policing services. Contract policing is provided through police services agreements, which are negotiated between the federal government and the provinces, territories, and municipalities.
As the police of jurisdiction, the RCMP leads hate crime investigations. The RCMP also provides training and education. For instance, the RCMP national youth services program offers a variety of education and awareness resources on topics relating to ideological violence, as posted on the website of the Centre for Youth Crime Prevention. Resources are designed for police officers, parents, and persons working with youth to engage and empower them to make positive decisions.
Education programs such as this are essential in combatting hate crimes, as they encourage victims to report incidents so law enforcement can initiate investigations. Reporting of hate crimes is essential in order for the RCMP and all law enforcement agencies to respond to and disrupt acts of ideological violence, as well as to understand the magnitude of the problem in our communities across the country.
In areas where the RCMP is the police of jurisdiction, reported hate crimes went up from 160 in 2014 to 206 in 2015, an increase of 46 incidents. The majority of the cases reported appear to be motivated by race, ethnicity, or religion.
The priorities of the RCMP's federal policing program include some of the more sophisticated and complicated types of criminal activity in Canada relating to serious and organized crime, cybercrime, national security and protective policing.
Given the role of the police force of jurisdiction and the need to act within the parameters set out in the Criminal Code, federal policing's role in investigating ideological violence is largely limited to instances where an individual or group moves toward acts of terrorism as defined in section 83.01 of the Criminal Code.
Our investigations are guided by the definition of terrorism as outlined in section 83.01 of the Criminal Code. The definition is important to note. Section 83.01 of the Criminal Code defines terrorism as an act committed "in whole or in part for a political, religious or ideological purpose, objective or cause" with the intention of "intimidating the public, or a segment of the public with regard to its security, including its economic security."
Therefore, for federal policing personnel to pursue a terrorism investigation, there must be an indication of an ideological basis and motivation for the act, as well as potential intent.

Okay. Here's an opener- before you all jump boat, ship, hut or mansion, I'm with the media, been with the media, and the absence if its been felt has been a premeditated one. Like a snake, writers often need to shed, peel or skin off that old worn out bloodied and badgered outfit and get into a brand new get up so that the juices can kick in again, just Google Hunter S Thompson- the Good Gonzo Doctor himself and his tireless pursuit of and utter destruction of that Writer's Rut..
So before naysayers, who in this peculiar case constitutes the so called media fraternity, comes to any conclusion, lemme rest your diseased cells, sickened minds and pronounce right upfront that I still write- and that being IN the media DOES NOT necessarily constitute any relationship with the art and craft of writing; a requirement seldom practiced and a circus that's increasingly becoming an unnecessary limb protruding rather profusely daily, biweekly and so on and so forth.
First up here's the fist: there's no such thing as a media fraternity. There are people doing the same shit but that does not qualify it as a fraternity.
Insecurity and jealousy rules the roost that shelters or protects the chickens that hide in there shooting bullets over a so-called colleague's abused shoulder.
Secondly there is NO MEDIA. So forget the media fraternity part, media itself is a ghost like Phantom and Phantom the Comic Caper definitely carries more credibility than the charade that parades itself as the MEDIA.
And now the final revelation: the so called MEDIA we have is a Make-Over; an eye wash lashing at the public in the guise of being a sensible and responsible communicator and using self-serving terms such as THE FOURTH ESTATE and turning those venerable words into diseased clichés.
And behind the scenes, silhouetted in dark shades or looking every inch the credible and hard working underpaid and malnourished stressed-out pussycat is the goddamn SENIOR CITIZEN of the MEDIUM; clad in a grimy gho and spectacles that do NOT break! How Apt; The Spectacle!
I know a few. And in a case or two, I owe them ASSAULTS.
The media we have is a MEDUSA'S HEAD. You know when the MOIC inaugurated the MEDIA AWARDS, a well intentioned but misguided effort now thankfully discontinued along with the frenzy with which it was first inaugurated- happy winners applauding it and sore losers decrying the unfairness.
On its second outing, they gave the best feature/investigative award to a pothead for doing a story on cannabis in a village full of poor and innocent villagers trying to make a quick buck- you could not, in all your conscience, begrudge them that.
The villagers went to jail and the pothead came back with a few grams of the fresh hashish and that crowning jewel on the crown they dubbed "BEST GNH STORY!"
The MEDUSA'S many heads and limbs dangling hither and dither has now gotten advanced cancer and the cancer is cannibalistic – it'd eat its own genitals if it could but bend down and stretch out enough to get down to that prick and choke it down, nerve by nervous nerve, grind by uncouth grind, till the very thing splits open the shallow throat and comes falling down in that bottomless belly of greed, myopia, shallowness, insecurity, callousness, power plays, envy, selfishness, discontent, and duping the same reader over and over again with a change in the header here, a conclusion in the kicker there but all with the predictable conclusion.
But as we say, it's in BLACK & WHITE and there's no escaping that fundamental realty – probably the best thing going for the so-called MEDIUM.
Well, the jig is up you jumping fleas, for I'm here, naked and raw as a newborn bastard, ready to throw up the hypocrisies you all fed me disguised as wholesome wheat.
The medium is sick. That sickness ails the so-called media maestros and the houses of deception and corruption they continue to built.
Here are a few tips:
If the medium (I'm not gonna dignify the M****RF*****S) is sick, why can't they get the proper treatment?
If it's a loss-making venture, how come the numbers keep piling up?
If its about some misguided sense of patriotism gone wrong, don't worry, let someone who has the heart, the head and the pockets to back the causes pick up the mantle and the bill.
After all, this is not a nation deprived of real people with real professionalism and passion.
The MOIC was right in trying to frame an Ad Policy via Circulation and other measureless measurables, such as Circulation. Most houses print less than a quarter of the amount they are required to under legal and ethical provisions. They inflate the numbers on paper; in reality, so-called national newspapers don't even make it out of the Capital. If they do, you can practically count the number of newspapers distributed nation-wide on your ten fingers. Forget your toes, thankfully there's no need to bend over to get a proper count.
It's just that much.
Now here's the Dessert: They get an equal amount of the RGOB Ad Pie!!! BINGO!!!
This piece is poisoning my own peace… so really, I'll continue the EX-PO-SE as I've experienced it on another night… but for now, my fellow DRUKPAS of this BLESSED LAND, beware the stuff you read, for they come soiled and stained, and investigate whenever you hear stuff like CREDIBILITY, HONOR, OBJECTIVITY, FAIR, FORTHRIGHT, PUBLIC SERVICE and the like emanating from the MEDUSA'S many mouths. But there's good news too... the RGoB now has done what it should have- looked at Media Houses and realized they ain't never gonna grow up, and hence stopped the Spoon-Feeding. Now let's see how it does cope with Growing Up, or NOT as might be the case along with Righteous Claims of the Fourth Estate going down under and dragging with it DEMOCRACY itself.
Its just so predictable... And kudos to MoIC and MoF for doing what needed to be done- taken out the whiplash, for I'd rather read a good paper or two rather than have a quantity of nonsensical chaos parading as responsible newspapers and the harbingers of truth.
For Now, Its a Jolly Good Night!

Conservation Areas: FAQs
Use the map or the A-Z list to select a Conservation Area.
Related Links
- What is a Conservation Area?
- Does designation of a Conservation Area put the protection of the special architectural or historic interest of an area over its vitality and viability?
- What type of applications do Conservation Areas apply to?
- What other statutory protection is afforded by Conservation Area Status?
- Does Conservation Area status have controls over anything other than building within the designated area?
Many of our cities, towns and villages contain areas of architectural or historic interest which have a particular character considered worthy of conservation.
A Conservation Area is an area deemed by the Department to be of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve and enhance, as designated under Article 50 of the Planning (NI) Order 1991.
Great importance is attached to the preservation of the existing character and appearance of such areas allied to the promotion of their economic well-being.
Does designation as a Conservation Area put the protection of the special architectural or historic interest of an area over its vitality and viability?
The Department does not wish to stifle development in Conservation Areas.
The emphasis will be on careful control, positive management of change and positive enhancement, to enable the area to remain alive and prosperous, but as the same time to ensure that any new development accords with the area's special architectural or historic interest.
Designation as a Conservation Area put an onus on prospective developers to produce a very high standard of design which respects or enhances the particular qualities of the area in question.
However, notwithstanding the acceptability of the proposal in terms of other planning issues, where any proposed development would harm the character, appearance or setting of a Conservation Area it will not normally be permitted.
The designation of a Conservation Area affects applications for all types of development proposals, including:
- new developments and proposals for extensions to existing properties,
- advertisements and
- demolition of a building within the Conservation Area.
Each application will be assessed on how it will positively enhance the Conservation Area.
The demolition of even a single building within a Conservation Area and construction of a new building or buildings in its place could result in the character or appearance of a Conservation Area, or part of it, being severely prejudiced.
In these circumstances the whole purpose of designating a Conservation Area could be undermined. Therefore were the demolition of a building within the Conservation Area occurs the Department will normally pursue direct court action.
A person guilty of such an offence is liable on summary conviction on indictment to an unlimited fine. In determining the amount of the fine on conviction on indictment the court shall have particular regard to any financial benefit which has accrued or likely to accrue to the offender as a consequence of the offence.
Does Conservation Area status have controls over anything other than building within the designated area?
Related Links
Trees in a Conservation Area are automatically protected as if a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) was in place.
However, in a Conservation Area, anyone proposing to carry out works on trees must serve on the Department six weeks notice of the intended works. The notice should contain sufficient information to identify the trees, details of proposed works and reasons.
The Department has six weeks in which to respond and work should not commence until the Department has commented, or the six weeks has expired, whichever takes place first. If the Department considers the proposed works should not be carried out, it can make a formal TPO.
It is a criminal offence to cut down, top, lop, uproot, wilfully destroy or damage a tree in a manner likely to destroy it, without the Department's consent, and, on summary conviction you could be fined up to £30,000 (and on conviction on indictment, to an unlimited fine). In determining the fine, the Court may take into account any financial benefit which appears likely to have accrued as a result of the offence.
It will also be the duty of the landowner to plan replacement trees of appropriate size and species in the same location as soon as reasonably possible.

Dovetail Software to Exhibit and Sponsor at the LEHRN HR Tech Expo
Dovetail Software to present newest product features at event featuring key trends for HR professionals and companies.
Austin, TX – April 7, 2015 –Dovetail Software, a leader in SaaS-based HR case management and help desk software, announced it will be sharing its latest product release, Dovetail Employee Engagement Suite Version 13, as a Fast Follower sponsor at the LEHRN HR Tech Expo on April 9, 2015 in Minneapolis, MN. The event, conceived and organized by LEHRN.org (the Leading Edge Human Resources Network) features keynotes by The Marcus Buckingham Company's Jason Averbook and Marcus Buckingham.
"There is a fundamental and radical shift happening in the workplace," says Marcus Buckingham, founder, The Marcus Buckingham Company. "Human Resources professionals and employers need to understand that and embrace it before they start falling behind. It's a shift from an organizational level focus to the critical importance of team leaders, and from a reliance on generalist big data to the effective use of smart data to empower and move an organization forward. It's going to be a new era in the workplace."
The event, held at the Minneapolis' Marriott City Center Hotel, will focus on five key trends HR professionals must understand as workplaces evolve around them. These trends include: a new focus on team leaders within organizations as the drivers of business and growth; a shift from big data to smart data that empowers an organization; the personalization of everything as employees grow to expect onboarding and mentoring tailored exactly to their needs; coaching not feedback; and finally, most critically, new addictive technologies created not for the overall organization but for team leader insight.
Dovetail will be featured at a product booth doing demonstrations alongside 50 other HR technology companies like Workday, ADP, Ceridian and more. "We are excited to attend this event and collaborate with other HR leaders," said Dwane Lay, VP of Customer Experience at Dovetail Software.

Far Cry 4 story trailer in 60 fps!
I can't wait for the game to come out!
Metro: Last Light has low FOV, auto-aim turned on by default; how to force DX9
Metro: Last Light is now out and getting generally favorable reviews. However, an issue has been found that may prove to be a problem during gameplay. The game has a very low field of view and developer 4AGames hasn't put it any sliders to change it. It can't even be changed through manual configuration file editing, too.
The game is also a DirectX 10/11 title, but you can force it to run in DX9. DSOGaming has put up a guide on how to do it; as a bonus, they've also added a guide on how to turn off auto-aim, which is turned on by default in the PC version.
Finally, a new beta version of GeForce drivers for NVIDIA's graphics cards is out. The v320.14 drivers are optimized specifically for the game, noting enhanced performance by up to 10%.
Awesome: GTA 5 character wallpapers
If you're itching for a new wallpaper, then you've come to the right place. Remember the recent illustrations for the three new characters for GTA 5? Well, Rockstar has released some fantastic new wallpapers for these characters, including a three-shot lineup of all of them together.
They're available in a wide variety of resolutions and handheld devices. Head over and choose the one you like the most right now.
BioShock Infinite sold much better than its predecessors, Take-Two still in the red
In what can only be considered to be not-a-surprise, Take-Two has announced that BioShock Infinite has sold significantly more copies in its first month than its predecessors in the series. In fact, more than 3.7 million copies of the excellent game has been shipped around the world, and there has apparently been "solid demand" for the game's Season Pass, though no one really knows what DLC they're going to get.
The publisher, however, isn't doing so well. Despite having such big successes as BioShock Infinite, Borderlands 2, and NBA 2K13, the company finished the year with a net loss of $29.49 million. Interestingly, it's better than last year, which saw a $108.82 million deficit.
As for its other successes, Borderlands 2 has shipped 6 million copies since its release, which puts it on track to be the publisher's best-selling title; NBA 2K13 has shipped 5 million copies. No figures were revealed for Max Payne 3 and XCOM: Enemy Unknown, though both of them were critically acclaimed at release.
The publisher is looking to bank on the launch of GTA 5, which is due out later this year. It's quite sad that Take-Two is still in the red despite having released so many good games. As a matter of fact, I've put countless hours into these games, as have many others, yet I don't understand how such a publisher can still make a loss.
Remember Me was originally set in water; Paris came in much later
Remember Me was originally slated to have jet skis and would've been called "Adrift". Players would be seen zipping around a flooded coastal city. While that sounds vaguely interesting at first, I believe the game would've become boring too easily and would have been dismissed quickly.
Thankfully, that didn't come to fruition according to the game's creative director Jean-Maxime Moris. The team had wanted to focus on the effects of global warming on the world, which they why they had wanted to place the game in a city like Sydney, Tokyo, or San Francisco. "The [player] would have to navigate with a wakeboard, grappling from one jet ski to another," he said.
As it stands, they became more interested in the idea of manipulating memories and shifted the theme away from global warming. Dontnod's (the studio) home city of Paris became the game's stomping grounds but with a sci-fi twist. The iconic features of Paris came into view, though Moris explains that they were initially reluctant to be "that French studio doing that French game."
Honestly, I think the game looks cool. The scenic views of Paris act as great eye candy, especially the new glass-and-steel skyscrapers alongside familiar Parisian landmarks. The interview touches upon the studio's vision of Paris in the future and how social networks will come to dominate society. It's an interesting read.
Remember Me is expected to be released early next month on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
The Forest looks good, creepy, and scary
Plane crash. Jungle. Find shelter. Forage food. Survive mutants.
If that sounds enticing, then The Forest is right up your alley. The new open-world action adventure from indie developer SKS Games now has a shiny new trailer showing (naked?) mutant cannibals and some open-world gameplay. It is also now live on Steam Greenlight, and I don't think it's going to have too much trouble going through to Steam.
The game will take a simulation approach to gameplay. It'll have a day-night cycle, weather, plants that grow and die, and more. You can roam around the island during day and huddle by the fire at night and survive aforementioned cannibals. You can also build and fortify camps and make weapons to kick some mutant ass.
It's being made for PC and will support Oculus Rift when released. Check out the trailer below.
Warren Spector rants on new Wolfenstein game; asks why major games share similar style and tone
Writing on his Facebook page, acclaimed developer Warren Spector asked if the world "really need[s] another Wolfenstein game" in reference to the recently unveiled first-person shooter. "Did we need a generically dark, monochromatic, FPS, kill-the-Nazi-giant-robot game?" he wrote, adding that "No. The world did not. I am so tired of this."
This outburst is in reference to the trailer for the game that depicts images of Nazi robots, guns, and violence. It all looks quite cool, though I can understand why Spector is so peeved by it: the sameness, the repetitiveness of it all.
He's also quite taken aback by the voiceover: "Oh, and could we all just agree we'll never use the generic gravelly whisper trailer voice guy ever again." Well, that I can agree with, but I simply cannot get in line with this: "Please stop using Jimi Hendrix to promote your adolescent male power fantasies." Hendrix's cover of "All Along the Watchtower" is played throughout the teaser for the game.
Spector—I have all the respect in the world for you, but please, Hendrix is awesome. Hendrix can stay.
He later added that he's not blaming Wolfenstein: The New Order specifically, but that he's tired of shooters. He is "sick of a particular look and tone… particular trailer narration style… and [I am] worried about the state of the core game business."
Further onwards, he asks whether anyone is worried about the state of the industry right now. He notes the presence of the indies, adding that the major publishers are not interested in selling anything besides generic shooters, sports, and action-RPG games.
Although it sounds like a rant, and it truly is, Spector raises an interesting and valid point. Why is the industry so fixated on a particular style? Why does everything have to be flat and grey? The answer is: they sell. These games bring in big money, and that's what publishers are here to do—make money. It may sound crass, but it's true, and it's something we all have to live by. It's a business, and a very profitable business at that.
The reason why anyone isn't taking risks is because they can be financial disasters. Even big-budget games like Tomb Raider and Dead Space 3 have been reported not to meet their targets. Surprisingly, these aren't even risky titles with radically different tones and themes. These were regular, ordinary games that simply didn't sell as well as their publishers hoped they would. And that raises the question: why would they risk their precious resources on "different" things? Sadly, they won't, so we're stuck with and excited by games like Wolfenstein, among others.

MELROSE, Mass. — Wall Street's philosophy in one of the nation's most hotly contested Senate campaigns could be boiled down to an old proverb: The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The financial industry has poured more than $6.2 million in contributions into the U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts between incumbent Republican Scott Brown and Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren, who has made the fight against Wall Street greed and corruption a cornerstone of her campaign.
Nearly $9 of every $10 have gone to Brown, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
That money has helped Brown stay competitive with Warren, a darling of liberal donors from Harvard to Hollywood, in one of the nation's most expensive Senate races. Altogether, Brown had raised about $27.5 million through last month, compared with about $36.6 million by Warren, the latest filings show.
A race originally dubbed a referendum on Wall Street has broadened into other issues. But Wall Street still has a significant stake in the outcome of this neck-and-neck battle.

Four candidates to become the next president of the University of Minnesota have been forwarded to the Board of Regents for review, regents chairman Clyde Allen said Friday.
Regents are looking over the applications individually and will meet as a group — perhaps as part of a regularly scheduled meeting next Friday — to publicly select finalists for interviews, Allen said.
The new president — the U's 16th in 142 years — is expected to be named by the end of December. The current president, Bob Bruininks, is stepping down at the end of this academic year to take a faculty post at the U's Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs.
A 12-member presidential search advisory committee recommended the semifinalists. The committee is chaired by regent Patricia Simmons and made up of U professors, a student, an administrator and some local attorneys.
The presidential search is expected to be more transparent this time than in 2002, the last time the U hired a new leader.
In that search, regents interviewed candidates in private, prompting suits from media organizations — including the Pioneer Press — that led to an unfavorable ruling for the U in court.
"We went overboard this time to make sure we didn't violate any law or even come close to it," Allen said.
At their meeting, regents will discuss the candidates in public without revealing their names, perhaps by assigning each a number or letter, Allen said. Then if they vote to interview someone, that person's name will be announced.
The finalists will be brought to campus and interviewed in public.
In the 2002 search, the board didn't accept any of the names forwarded by the committee and instead selected Bruininks, a longtime administrator who was serving as interim president.
Allen said the four semifinalists are "very strong."
"I'm very pleased with the names that have been forwarded to us."
He declined to give any details about the candidates or about the size of the total applicant pool.
Doug Belden can be reached at 651-228-5136.

Matt Damon will play a small role in Ocean's Eight
The female-led OCEAN'S 11 spin-off has been filming in New York with Cate Blanchett and Sandra Bullock in the lead roles (as you can see above), but if you're worried that none of the original gang might show up, the following news may excite you. In speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Matt Damon confirmed that he WILL be playing a role in the film. Granted, it's probably not going to be a very large role, but that does give hope that some of the other players, like Clooney and Pitt, may show up as well. Take a look!
Matt Damon on OCEAN'S EIGHT:
I'm doing a little bit in the movie. I haven't read it yet, but the cast is phenomenal and I'm excited to see what those women do with it. It's going to be fun.
The cast, including Blanchett, Bullock, Elizabeth Banks, Helena Bonham Carter, and Mindy Kaling, is actually pretty damn cool. If you ask me, they should've just incorporated these actresses into OCEAN'S movies from the start instead of doing a complete spin-off, but that's just my two cents. Either way, I'm certainly interested to see what a first trailer will yield.
OCEAN'S EIGHT is scheduled to hit theaters on June 8, 2018.

Sin tax
A sin tax is a kind of sumptuary tax: a tax specifically levied on certain generally socially proscribed goods and services, for example alcohol and tobacco, candies, drugs, soft drinks, fast foods, coffee, and gambling.
Sumptuary taxes are important in reducing transactions involving something that society considers undesirable, and is thus a kind of sumptuary law. Sin tax is used for taxes on activities that are considered socially undesirable. In many cases, sumptuary taxes are implemented to mitigate use of alcohol and tobacco, gambling, and vehicles emitting excessive pollutants. Sumptuary tax on sugar and soft drinks has also been suggested; see soda tax.[1] Some jurisdictions have also levied taxes on illegal drugs such as marijuana.[citation needed]
Revenue generated by sin taxes supports many projects imperative in accomplishing social and economic goals.[2] American cities and counties have utilized funds from sin taxes to expand infrastructure,[3] while in Sweden the tax for gambling is used for helping people with gambling problems. Acceptance of sumptuary taxes may be greater than income tax or sales tax.
- Proponents[who?] argue that the consumption of tobacco and alcohol, the behaviors associated with consumption, or both consumption and the behaviors of consumption, are immoral or "sinful", hence the label "sin tax". For example, Mayo Clinic anesthesiologists Dr. Michael Joyner and Dr. David Warner support increasing taxes on tobacco and alcohol, with the goal of using tax codes to help change behavior and improve health.[4]
- Tobacco and alcohol consumption has been linked to a variety of medical problems. In the United States alone, over 440,000 people die annually from smoking tobacco.[5][6] By making the cost of unhealthy behavior prohibitive, they hope to produce a healthier society.[citation needed]
- Following the medical argument, some argue[who?] that consumers of tobacco and alcohol cause a greater financial burden on society by forcing others to pay for medical treatment of conditions stemming from such consumption, especially in most first-world countries with government-funded healthcare, and should be taxed extra to pay for the costs of their treatment.[7][8][9][10]
- The moral, medical and financial arguments are occasionally considered in contemporary news settings.[11]
- Sin taxes have historically triggered rampant smuggling and black markets, especially when they create large price differences in neighboring jurisdictions.[citation needed]
- Critics of sin tax argue[who?] that it is a regressive tax in nature and discriminates against the lower classes, since taxation of a product such as alcohol or cigarettes does not account for ability to pay, therefore poor people pay a greater amount of their income as tax.[12][13]
- Sin taxes are not normally value added in nature meaning that expensive, high-quality products more likely to be purchased by the wealthy will have the tax comprise a much smaller proportion of its final purchase price, thus ensuring that the lower classes pay a much greater proportion of their lower income in tax.[citation needed]
- Sin taxes fail to affect consumers' behaviors in the way that tax proponents suggest, for instance increasing smokers' propensity to smoke high-tar, high-nicotine cigarettes when the per-pack price is raised[14] and increasing the rate of people mixing their own drinks rather than buying pre-mix alcoholic spirits.[15]
- Critics[who?] also argue that the behavior affected by sin taxes are strictly personal and of no social consequence, and therefore should not be moderated by government.[citation needed]
- Not all research supports the idea that alcohol and tobacco consumers financially burden societies through health expenditures. One study used a mathematical model to compare estimated health costs of obese persons, tobacco smokers, and "healthy-living people". Until age 56, obese persons had the highest estimated annual health expenditure. Tobacco smokers older than this had the highest estimated health costs of all groups, but since life expectancy is shorter for smokers and the obese, the "lifetime health expenditure was highest among healthy-living people." The model for this study used input parameters based on data from the Netherlands.[16]
- The government may become reliant on the revenue from the tax and has to encourage "sinful" behavior in order to maintain the revenue stream.[17]

Well, since winter hit, users have noticed that their Lumias don't seem to work so well with gloves as they were supposed to. French media theWINdose heard those complaints and dug through the official Lumia spec sheets, found on Microsoft's web site, only to discover that, while older Lumias have the "Super sensitive touch" technology advertised right there, the Lumia 950 and 950 XL do not. Instead, their line reads "Touch screen technology: Capacitive multipoint-touch".
Some are speculating that the feature has been software-disabled in order to lessen battery drain in Windows 10, however, Lumia 930 owners argue that Super sensitive touch still works on their handsets, despite the fact they have upgraded to Windows 10. And, as we said earlier, Super sensitive touch is a feature achieved by the hardware construction of the display panel, not some software wizardry. It was developed by Synaptics and basically merges the screen's capacitive layer with the actual display unit, creating a number of benefits – a thinner overall display panel, more brightness for less battery power, and, of course, superior sensitivity, which can discern weaker input signals.
OK, so some tech may have been omitted from the construction of the new Lumia flagships in favor of something else – while a sad point, that's not something rare in the world consumer products. However, what's pretty bad here is that Microsoft's own Store page does list the Lumia 950 and 950 XL as having Super sensitive touch.

HARARE - The Zimbabwe Asset Management Corporation (Zamco) has mopped up over $500 million bad loans from the country's banks in an effort to make them attractive to foreign investors.
Finance minister Patrick Chinamasa said since the Special Purpose Vehicle began operations in 2015, it has relieved local banks allowing them to clean their balance sheets.
He said as part of efforts to strengthen the banking sector, government had advanced Treasury Bills (TBs) to all financial institutions whose bad debts were assumed.
A TB is a short-term debt obligation backed by a government with a given maturity, in most countries the promissory notes are issued with a maturity of less than one year.
"Through Zamco we have also given banks an opportunity to release resources that had been tied up in NPLs so that they continue to support economic activities throughout the country
"We have also helped borrowers to restructure their facilities so that they would continue to service their loans at affordable interest rates over a relatively longer period," Chinamasa said, pointing out that the average NPL ratio in the banking sector had also gone down with banks now aiming for the regional prudential benchmark of five percent.
According to central bank governor John Mangudya, Zamco has also started acquiring bad loans secured by mortgage bonds, after assuming total NPLs worth $812,5 million in 2016.
Some of the banks holding on to TBs after surrendering their NPLs to Zamco include FBC Bank, which at the end of 2016, held $7,3 million in TBs categorised under acquisition of NPLs by Zamco.
ZB Bank as at December 31, 2016 recorded a $20,4 million contribution from Zamco TBs, up from the $13,7 million recorded prior comparable period, with group chief executive Ron Mutandagayi saying Zamco had provided credit relief to the group with TBs worth $3,7 million in 2016 alone.
Zamco also helped revive the fortunes of local bank, Metbank, after it assumed about $14 million of Metbank's debts to regional lenders, as the bank moved to clean its balance sheet.
At close of 2016, Zamco had a portfolio of acquired NPLs amounting to $812,5 million comprising a proprietary portfolio worth $548,6 million and a managed portfolio of $263,8 million.
Further, another financial services institution, NMB Zimbabwe, surrendered to the Zamco loans amounting to $11,6 million in the first half of 2016.
In addition, Zamco is also being used to assume bad debts from government-owned firms, like the recently-acquired pharmaceuticals group, CAPS Holdings.

Another article about Ben Gordon has surfaced. According to greek website contra.gr the CSKA Moscow has made an offer to the NBA superstar of 5.5 million dollars per year whereas Gordon seems to want more a bit more, around 7 million dollars to match the contract the Childress got from Olympiakos.
The jamaican shooting guard was born in London and that gives him a dual nationality, so he has both jamaican and british nationalities and he is also a member of the British National Team. Gordon rejected an offer earlier this year from the Chicago Bulls for 6.4 million dollars. Although if you take into consideration the NBA taxation system that would leave him less than 4 million dollars in net profit.
The article says that the whole matter will have ended by Wednesday and Ben Gordon will give his final answer. He was the leading scorer of the Chicago Bulls last season averaging 18.6 points 3.1 rebounds and 3 assists in 72 games.

THERE IS ONE GOD. Everyone has the right to hear about Him. THERE IS ONE SAVIOR. No one can come to the Father except through Jesus Christ. THERE IS ONE FAITH, once for all delivered to the saints. Everyone has the right to be taught it. On this web site we seek to serve a cause greater than any of us. Our purpose is to faithfully take the word of the true God, about the true savior, to all the world, as it is written. Man made substitutes can not save. We will not offer them.
We do not have to choose between man made theories and organizations. We can be Christians, added by the Lord to His church. When the apostles preached this pure word of God and people obeyed it, the Lord added them to the number of the saved. (Acts 2:41 & 47) People have the right to hear that message, that invitation today. We will try hard to faithfully deliver it to all our readers. This is the essence of loyalty as a Christian.
We will not offer you anyone's opinion, ours or anyone else's. On every subject we will invite you to look at what the word of God says on that matter. Please read each article carefully with your Bible open. Check it for accuracy in comparison with that standard. It is the only measurement standard God has given us.

My sister-in-law recently gave me a gift: a book titled مسل ماه شب چهارده (Like the Full Moon), by Houshang Moradi Kermani. It's a kid's book, about 70 pages long with illustrations. It turns out that's perfect for me: I'm stretching my vocabulary but the ideas aren't so hard to grasp once I decipher the words.
I'll admit, I'm still only on the first page. But so far it's a pretty entertaining description of aging!

Seabirds, marine mammals, and turtles are caught during commercial fishing operations. In order to monitor the impacts of fishing on these species, government observers on fishing vessels record any protected species bycatch incidents that occur. Observer data on protected species captures are maintained by the Ministry for Primary Industries, with identification of captured animals carried out by the Department of Conservation. Recent reports on protected species captures are available from the Ministry for Primary Industries.
This website provides a summary of protected species captures in trawl and longline fisheries, from the 2002–03 to 2015–16 fishing year (fishing years run from October 1 to September 30).
Observers are only present on some fishing vessels. To estimate total captures in a fishery, it is necessary to use statistical methods to extrapolate from observed fishing to unobserved fishing. The total observable captures are an estimate of the captures that would have been reported, had observers been present on all fishing vessels. There may be additional mortalities (such as birds that are struck by fishing gear but not brought on board the vessel) that are not recorded by observers. These are referred to as 'cryptic mortalities' and are not included in the estimates of total captures, nor is there any evaluation of potential survival of seabirds recorded as captured but subsequently released alive. Preparation of the data follow the methods outlined by (Abraham et al. 2016).
Currently available datasets include:
Abraham, E. R., Richard, Y., Berkenbusch, K. & Thompson, F. (2016). Summary of the capture of seabirds, marine mammals, and turtles in New Zealand commercial fisheries, 2002–03 to 2012–13. New Zealand Aquatic Environment and Biodiversity Report No. 169. 205 pages. Download from Ministry for Primary Industries.

sad biscuit is dead while Ein is aliveReplyDelete
I didn't expect them to kill off Biscuit so soon.
But then again, I guess you can't be surprised since a lot of characters are being killed off in this series.
I suspect Mikazuki will be going after Carta Issue and a bunch of Gjallarhorn members soon?
Oh and does anyone else think that Ein is going to get like robotic prosthetics?

How to calculate for transmission line conductor for a particular megawatt power?
Suppose 1000 MW power is transmitted through a particular conductor, first calculate the current for that megawatt power taking a voltage level as constant for this case we have taken 400 KV. The current comes to (1000x103)/0.732x400x1)=4018.00 amps, taking on account for double circuit (4018/2)=2009 amps; which is comparable to twin moose conductor which has 2056 amps current carrying capacity at 50oC.

Seal leaks in concrete or masonry with crack injection and curtain grouting of our Prime Flex polyurethanes and AR acrylate resins. Prime Resins offers superior solutions for stopping leaks in every type of environment.
Sound concrete relies on a sound substrate. Stabilize soils and fill voids with our polyurethane and acrylate foams and gels. We make chemical grouts for permeation and compaction grouting in wet and dry conditions.
Slab lifting and slab stabilization with polyurethane foams offers many advantages over traditional mudjacking. Only Precision Lift is engineered to tackle underlying issues and slab lifting with precise, dependable results.
Protecting concrete usually means shielding it from the elements of nature or from harsh manmade chemicals. But it's not just concrete that needs such protection. Corrugated metal pipe, steel surfaces, material hoppers, rail cars and masonry all can come in contact with corrosive or abrasive materials or harsh conditions.
Spalled concrete is concrete that is chipped, cracked and deteriorating. This often happens at a joint.
You can repair a seawall or bulkhead with Prime Resins chemical grouts: fill voids, stabilize loose soil and seal leaks at a fraction of the cost of wall replacement.
The need for crack repair in concrete structures can be caused by many different factors. Damage can occur to the concrete in situations where direct impact puts stress on one area of the structure.
The geotechnical needs of DOTs and other agencies responsible for roads and bridges are vast. Issues include: Culvert repair Soil stabilization Void filling Concrete slab lifting Sinkhole remediation Slope control Slough control in tunneling
Are you ready to hit the ground running doing concrete leveling with polyurethane foam? Prime Resins offers the industry's best suite of products for lifting concrete as a turnkey, fully equipped trailer rig.

Today begins a new era for America. Jobs are #1, Google goes Toontastic and the Super Bowl is right around the corner. Get this and more on today's WebLetter!
A new man is President. Donald Trump is preaching prosperity for America and has struck deals with several major corporations that have vowed to bring money and jobs back to America, even before he took the oath of office. But jobs are also being created by several U.S. tech companies who are providing paid apprenticeship with an eye toward educating the next generation of workers.
This week, Amazon joined the program and signed an agreement with the US Department of Labor to create an apprenticeship program designed to aid military veterans as they attempt to re-enter the workforce.
Through ApprenticeshipUSA, veterans can take on paid internships at Amazon and learn the tech skills needed to move into good paying work, while securing the education needed to compete in an increasingly tech-oriented workforce. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has said his goal is to hire 25,000 veterans and their spouses over the next five years. Two thumbs up! https://apprenticeshipusa.workforcegps.org
If you're looking for something fun to keep the kids occupied, look no further than Google's new Toontastic 3D app for iOS and Android devices.
With Toontastic 3D, kids can draw, animate and narrate their own adventures, news stories, school reports, and anything else they might dream up. All they need to do is move characters around on the screen and tell their story. The Toontastic app, while designed for kids, is fun for any creative type … it also a great thing for parents to do with the kids.
All a user needs to do is decide the length of your story, ("short" or the longer "classic length), select a background and your set of characters. All that's left then is animate the players, add voiceovers and narration, and view your creation. Users can also draw their own characters, use their own face for a character's face, and more. Google says they'll add more features in the future. The Toontastic 3D app is free and is available for iOS devices in the App Store and Android devices via the Google Play Store.
And finally this week, Super Bowl is February 5th. You'll be able to watch the big game via the Fox Sports Go app or on the Fox Sports Go website, and best of all it'll be free. That's right, no need for a pay-tv login this time. More than that, you'll be able to watch via Amazon Fire, Apple TV, Android TV, Chromecast and Xbox One in addition to Android, Fire tablets, iOS devices and Windows. Even if you're without a cable subscription or a means of watching over-the-air TV. Seems network TV really wants everyone to have an opportunity to see the biggest game all year. https://www.foxsportsgo.com/
That's it this week. Have a great weekend and may God bless you and keep you safe.

"Faye's Daily Words Of Encouragement # 192 Today's Word Is : Song"
"Faye's Daily Words Of Encouagement # 192 Today'sWord Is: Song"
Definition of the word Song: A short musical composition for voice, any melodic utterance, a song of praise.
Job chapter 35 - 10 : But none saith, where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night.
Psalms chapter 32 - 7 : Thou art my hiding place, thou shalt preserve me from trouble, thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.
Psalms chapter 33 - 3 : Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
Pslams chapter 40 - 3 : And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear and shall trust in the Lord.
Psalms chapter 137 _ 4 : How shall we sing the Lords song in a strange land.
Proverbs chapter 25 - 20 : As he that taketh ways a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.
Isaiah chapter 23 - 16 : Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; that thou mayest be remembered.
Isaiah chapter 42 - 10 : Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
Ephesians chapter 5 - 19 : Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.
Today's Daily Words of Encouragement word is Song:A song is a musical melody sang by voice or played by an musical instrument. I think when we're baptised in Christ ,he gives us a new song of praise to sing and we get rid of the old song. God has put a new song in our mouth to praise him with. Children of God is suppose to be so joyful and there should always be a song of praise somewhere in our hearts. We are always singing a song a praise to Jesus, the deliverer of lives and of our souls.
Come on let's sing a happy song, a song of praise and thanks for Jesus 's unconditional love and for him dying on the cross for us. let the song of praise and melodies flow continuous from our mouths. let us always praise God and his holy name. let us praise him with a happy heart , even though things might not be the way we want them, we should praise him any way. We must always remember that even what ever we're going through will pass, because God doesn't lie.
Music is the center of a persons being. Music has the power to empower us for good or bad. I love this hub, rated.
Thanks again Faye! Sing it loud!
terrific moving hub touches my heart thanks
Singing a song calms you down and feels peaceful. Thank you for a great hub.
"even though things might not be the way we want them, we should praise him any way." AMEN, AMEN!
Regardless of what we may be going through, while awaiting deliverance, we can still sing songs of triumph and praise. We sing because we have learned that even in the blackest night, there are still some little lamps burning in the night sky of our souls.
Lovely message of encouragement Creativeone.
Forever His,
Singing is such a vital part of our worship. Praising God through song is just another way we publicly declare our devotion to him.
Hi, creativeone59. Thank you for this hub.
I am curious why you did not include "The Song of Solomon" in this hub. Lovely still.
Love singing the songs of the church, especially those that magnify and honor the Lord Jesus.

I haven't written on update of daily life stuff in awhile because there hasn't been too much going on.
The Man's work schedule has changed and we've finally started adjusting to it. He went from being a 3rd shift warrior to working 2nd shift. Ugh. It's disappointing because now he isn't home during the week day evenings and doesn't get to see the kids very much. He wakes up early to see them off before school. He is more tired than usual.
I work some evenings as well, but I always manage to get home before the kids bedtime. Deedee has been a huge help. She never ceases to amaze and impress me. It's so important that she knows how much I truly appreciate her.
Deedee got nominated for a field trip. She's going to learn about S.T.E.M. I hope she likes the program. Deedee always looks into the future. She has it all mapped out.
I wanted to say so much more about our week, but I must apologize. I'm exhausted. It's going to be a very early night tonight.

Locals react to wrestling back in Olympics
After a seven month hiatus wrestling has reclaimed its spot at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
The sport beat a bid from squash and a joint baseball/softball bid.
"One of the happiest days of my life," said newly retired Cleveland head wrestling coach Al Miller.
Miller rejoiced on Sunday as the IOC voted wrestling back into the 2020 Olympics.
Wrestling was ousted seven months ago. On Sunday they beat out baseball, softball and squash.
UTC head coach Heath Eslinger said the public outcry over the past seven months was overwhelming, "all the social media, it's been pound save Olympic wrestling. It trended on Twitter last week. It wasn't just a regional or national but really a world wide movement."
Miller added, "what could Russia, Iran and the United States ever come together and agree on? other than wrestling which they did."
To get back in wrestling had to make changes. The same changes they were asked to make years ago but never did.
Yes, wrestling is the oldest form of Olympic sport and it dates back more than 5,000 years but the IOC complained the rules were confusing for fans and there wasn't enough scoring among other things.
Eslinger said, "it's just like in football. People don't want to watch a 2-0 win, they want to watch a 52-50 shootout because that's fun and there's action."
They've made slight changes but aren't done. The new scoring provided twice as many points scored in this years national championship compared to 2012.
They eliminated two weight classes.
A small price to pay for what wrestlers call the ultimate dream said Miller, "there are sports in the Olympics where it's just not the pinnacle of their sport. For wrestling it's the Olympics."

The warm orange glow of the greenhouses at the Kansas Wheat Innovation Center (KWIC) provide a welcoming nightlight to Kimball Avenue, but most passersby don't realize the plants grown inside are the future of Kansas agriculture. That glow recently become a little bigger thanks to a new four-bay greenhouse expansion that will help get cutting edge wheat genetics into the hands of Kansas farmers, faster.
These new greenhouses will be used for public-private collaborative wheat research. Molecular and genetic research done in the KWIC laboratories will be supported by the greenhouses and a more controlled environment will both enhance and accelerate results.

Background & Objectives: Attending to the public health of the students is im-
portant regarding the fact that they are the capitals of each country. Therefore, this
study was performed with the aim of evaluating the public health of the nursing and
midwifery students of the Babol University of Medical Sciences, Mazandaran, Iran.
Materials & Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 200 nursing and
midwifery students of Babol University of Medical Sciences in 2015, who were
selected through random sampling method. The data were collected using the
General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of this
questionnaire was calculated to be 0.89. The data were analyzed through the SPSS
version 18 using the descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation), ANOVA,
and t-test.
Results: According to the results of the study, the mean public health was
42.1±86.27. The means of the physical symptoms, anxiety and sleep disorders,
social dysfunction, and depression symptoms were 37.3±63.5, 30.4±88.5,
64.4±20.10, and 36.5±97.3, respectively. In addition, the general health was found
to have a significant relationship with the parental education, economic status, and
living conditions (P<0.05). Nevertheless, this variable had no significant relationship
with the age, gender, marital status, and field of study (P>0.05). Furthermore,
the public health had a significant relationship with the subsections of the questionnaire
(i.e., physical symptoms, anxiety and sleep disprder, social dysfunction,
and symptoms of depression) (P<0.05).
Conclusion: As the findings of the present study indicated, the public health was
not at a desirable level among the participants of the study. Therefore, it is essential
to hold some programs targeted towards the provision of consultation, training, and
communication skills of life for this population.

A Crawley woman with terminal cancer has spoken of her joy after friends rallied to send her on a dream trip to Lapland.
Mum-of-three Nikki Hopkins, 52, has had a lifelong ambition to visit the Christmas wonderland - and her three best friends were determined to make her dream come true.
Pals Denise Brett, Michele Treen-Hyam and Laura Mansfield organised a mammoth fundraising event - and Nikki and her husband made the trip before Christmas.
"It was absolutely fantastic. It was so magical, it was unbelievable," said Nikki when she returned to her home in Gossops Green.
Nikki has been diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer and attends St Catherine's Hospice twice a week.
She said the visit to Lapland had been at the top of her bucket list - and the trip more than lived up to her expectations with sleigh rides, a VIP visit to meet Santa in his log cabin - and even a snowfall on the last day.
She said she and her husband Mark would have 'lovely memories' to cherish forever.
And she thanked her three friends for making her wish a reality."Without my three girls I don't know what I'd do," said Nikki.
"They keep me going. When I'm down they come round and make me laugh. I love them to bits. I'm a lucky girl."
She said she even felt that her health had improved while she was in Lapland. "I was on cloud nine and the air was so pure."
Although she has to take morphine regularly to control her pain, she said she tried to keep positive.
"Every day is a new day, that's how I look at it."
She keeps busy helping to look after her mother who is recovering from a heart attack, and by keeping up with her grandchildren - and looking after her pet dog, Ty.
