Plants in the holy land, in the areas around Jerusalem, Palestine, Bethlehem
and the Middle East in general, plants in this geographical area,
are often threatened by heat and drought.
Attention, therefore, is focused on and directed toward the root as the means of survival.
It's the part of the plant which guarantees the existence of the whole.
The root gives purchase in the soil….gives stability to the stem and branches.
The plant grows out of the root as its origin.
This observation and this reality
was used as a metaphor in the Old Testament regarding the coming of the Messiah.
The prophets foretold his coming.
They reminded the people of God's promise to send a messiah
and addressed the issues hopelessness and unfaithfulness.
They said "this is who you are to look for; this is who the Messiah will be;
this is how you will know him: by his roots, by his historical origins.
This is how you will verify his authenticity."
In the Old Testament it was also recognized
that the root of a fallen tree could renew itself and put forth fresh shoots.
In this way, the root is seen as the hope for a new beginning.
It was the prophet Isaiah who proclaimed "a shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse,
and from his roots a bud shall blossom.
On that day, the root of Jesse shall be set up as a signal for the peoples.
On that day the nations will seek him out."
Isaiah is speaking of the promised Messiah.
From the pitiable remnant of the house of Jesse (who is the Father of King David)
there will come forth, as from the remaining stump of a tree, a new shoot
which will establish a kingdom of peace and righteousness.
It will be a new starting point for a glorious future in God.
Who is Jesus Christ whose birth we will soon celebrate?
He is the root of Jesse. He comes forth as a shoot, a branch of Jesse's family tree.
He comes forth from the part of Jesse's family tree that has remained faithful to the covenant
over the long years of waiting.
This image of Jesus as being the "Root of Jesse" still holds value for Christians in the 21st century.
How can Christmas 2017 be for us a new beginning?
What areas of personal faithfulness need regeneration and renewal?
What Christian attitudes, qualities and practices need to be reborn is us?
How do we need to be lifted up out of hopelessness and despair?
Are we satisfied with merely surviving with regards to a Christian life?
What needs to be added to our living that will see to our thriving and fruitfulness?
Likewise, what needs to be removed from our living as far as being detrimental to our Christian life?
It is also brought to our attention, as we dip into the Old Testament scriptures
so as to acquire a greater understanding of the mystery of our salvation,
that God works within the history of our world as well as within our personal history.
Our faith at times becomes threatened by too much focus on worldly and material reality
and by the absence of life-giving spiritual necessities.
Within ourselves and within others we need to remember: where there's life, there's hope.
God will never stop working to bring Salvation.
Today's prayer: "O Lord, may Your Son Jesus Christ be reborn in our hearts and minds this Christmas. Bless us with new ways of knowing Him. Amen!"

Mediation - the better way for business disputes
After over 20 years as a litigation lawyer and several years conducting Northern Ireland's longest running civil trial, Dorcas Crawford, senior partner at Edwards & Co Solicitors, began to re-evaluate the whole area of dispute resolution and concluded that there was a 'better way'.
She trained as a mediator with CEDR (Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution) in London in 2008 and has since conducted numerous commercial mediations and added workplace mediation and facilitation training to her CV.
Some years on Dorcas began to apply her skills to a wider range of disputes arising in client organisations at board level and between staff.
"In addition to the financial cost to an organisation, the implications of conflict and dispute for the people involved can be destructive, depressing and debilitating on a personal level. When left unresolved, disputes can paralyse an organisation," said Dorcas.
They can also escalate into costly litigation which leaves reputation and relationships beyond repair says Edwards and Co.
Having identified the need among clients for a more constructive solution, Dorcas [has developed the 'better way' concept] launched The Better Way - a unique service aimed at preventing, diagnosing and resolving disputes through education, facilitation and mediation.
"Prevention is, without doubt, better than cure and is the best possible way to deal with conflict and dispute in an organisation. Learning to recognise the early signs of a dispute before it escalates is the aim of our education service which provides tailored training sessions for board members, trustees, senior management teams and on preventing disputes both within the board and throughout the organisation and toolkits for recognising and preventing disputes at board or employee level," said Dorcas.

Bishop-designate Nelson Perez delivered an engaging homily at the installation-eve Solemn Vespers liturgy on Sept. 4 at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist.
The nearly 15-minute homily was a combination of humor, wisdom and teaching. The bishop drew applause and laughter from the faithful at times during the homily.
Here are a few of the more memorable comments.
- After introducing a cohort of fellow bishops who travelled to Cleveland for the installation ceremonies, Bishop Perez specifically mentioned Bishop Robert Brennan of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, New York. The two were consecrated as bishops in the same ceremony on July 25, 2012, by Rockville Centre Bishop William Murphy and Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput. "Bishop Brennan is my episcopal twin. We were born to the episcopacy together, but I'm older," Bishop Perez quipped.
- Referring to his ordination as a priest in Philadelphia in 1989, Bishop Perez noted, "The Archdiocese of Philadelphia taught me to be a priest. The Diocese of Rockville Centre began the process of teaching me to be a bishop and that is handed off now to the Diocese of Cleveland."
- About the celebrations connected to his installation as the 11th Bishop of Cleveland, Bishop Perez said: "This is not my celebration. It's a celebration of the whole Church. It's our celebration."
- As Vespers began, Bishop Perez was waiting in the vestibule of the cathedral to be welcomed officially by Toledo Bishop Daniel Thomas, Apostolic Administrator of the diocese. "They had me standing behind the door and wouldn't let me peek in. I felt like a bride. Then the doors opened, but I wasn't dressed in white."
- When speaking about the serious car accident he was involved in six months after arriving in Rockville Centre, Bishop Perez said there was a steady stream of visitors, many of them fellow priests. "I must have been anointed 20 times a day. I guess it didn't hurt," he quipped.
- A fan of Italian food, Bishop Perez and a seminary classmate headed to a restaurant in Cleveland's Little Italy neighborhood, which is known for its concentration of Italian restaurants and bakeries, after he arrived in town. "I was eating a bowl of pasta when Bishop (emeritus Anthony) Pilla called. Not that I like pasta," he said, hinting at Bishop Pilla's Italian heritage. Bishop Pilla's late mother was renowned for her spaghetti sauce and Italian cooking.
- Bishop Perez referred several times to Pope Francis' vision of the Church. "We are called to celebrate . . . We are called to be a Church of missionary disciples, a Church on the way, a Church on a mission. We must meet people where they are with the power of truth . . . the Holy Father tells us constantly to be joyful . . . sometimes we look like we're sucking on a lemon," he said. "The source of our joy is rooted in an encounter with Jesus Christ . . . We experience him and we are never the same after those encounters."

Stand by the open society
Yesterday we saw a murderous attack in Paris because Charlie Hebdo, a satirical magazine, engaged in their right of self-expression. This is a fundamental human right, derived from the right each of us has to our own thoughts and mind, which is toothless without the ability to express this. This principle is meaningless if it defends and safeguards only various shades of grey. Oliver Wendell Holmes saw the value "freedom for the thought we hate" in 1929 (then in the minority, now an accepted part of US Supreme Court jurisprudence). The European Court of Human Rights described this in 1976 as "one of the basic conditions for the progress of a democratic society and for the development of every man". They went on to find that it "is applicable not only to information or ideas that are favourably received or regarded as inoffensive or as a matter of indifference, but also to those that offend, shock or disturb the State or any sector of the population".
Satire has a long and venerable tradition in Europe, with its heyday in the political cartoons of the eighteenth century. Satire is not something designed or set out to be responsible or respectful.
But a liberal society is not devoid of the notion of personal responsibility. We are each responsible for our own actions and reactions. Outside of the specific and restricted partial legal defence of provocation from a temporary loss of control, we may not claim the behaviour of another to justify our own actions. Those who murdered journalists and the protection did so in full control of their senses, and must be held accountable for these actions.
It also means we hold them responsible, and not their own community and culture. We captured, they should be tried as any murderer would be, to the full rigours and with full due course of law.
And in standing by an open society, we should do more than defend full freedom of speech. We should also affirm the value of a liberal, tolerant society. Yes, we will permit satirists to mock religious beliefs. We will also allow religious communities to organise without discrimination. We should not question without good cause the differences of different customs. We must respect the individual rights of all; this means those who wish to wear a veil should be allowed to do so, whether or not we agree with the custom. One religion or another, or having none like myself, should neither confer advantage nor cause an obstacle.
This is not a time to divide one against the other, separate those living in countries based on the length of time of their various ancestry.
Without seeing any duty on those within particular communities to condemn or not to condemn actions of others no reasonable could endorse, we can also take time to recognise and value those within the Muslim community who are speaking against the barbarism committed in the name of their faith:
If someone asks "Why don't more Muslims condemn terrorism?" just link them this animated GIF: http://t.co/KhDVxWMqNo
— Iyad El-Baghdadi (@iyad_elbaghdadi) January 7, 2015
If we believe in the liberal values which were highlighted in our culture in the Enlightenment, but which have existed to varying degrees in nearly all cultures, and I certainly do, the attacks yesterday should not be seen as a test of them, but a reason to reaffirm them. We should aim towards an open society, where all are free to speak their mind, whether different cultures can mix, and learn from each other. A society where it is expected that we will not share in our sensibilities, that eschews uniformity and cultural stagnation. A society that strives to treat all truly equally before the law, not just in the court system, but in the administration of the state. This can be a society where each individual can thrive in the way they define for themselves, to make our choices in life. And this resilient observance of individual freedom could well be the only way our society will survive.

It was 'Breaking News' way back in July 2015 (Link) that the PMR446 analogue and digital allocations would double in size once all the required red tape had been sorted out.
In the UK we were later greeted by a draft document from OFCOM which stated that the changes were expected to come into force in 'January 2018'.
However since then no further word from OFCOM so are we to assume the the changes have indeed come into effect and we now have 16 analogue and up to 32 digital channels on the band?
I have emailed OFCOM to see if I can find out........
In the meantime I haven't seen any new 16 channel radios in the shops here in the UK... Have you noticed any? If so let me know and I'll feature them here on the blog.

Builder confidence continues to boom in August
Posted by Bonnie Martin Designated Broker on Tuesday, August 20th, 2013 at 9:54am.
marketwatch.com - Home builders are as confident as ever — nearly eight years to be more precise. Whether that will translate into actual construction remains to be seen.
The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo housing market index rose 3 points to 59, marking the fourth rise in a row. Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected a 55 reading. July's level was downwardly revised by a point to 56.
Any reading above 50 is considered "good."

The former Medical Center of Independence, considered an eyesore for years, should be coming down soon.
Like Independence Regional Health Center, it was closed in 2007 when HCA Midwest opened Centerpoint Medical Center in southeastern Independence. The MCI property is at 17203 E. 23rd St., just east of Missouri 291.
Permits have been pulled for the building's demolition, said John Carnes, an Independence lawyer who represents the property's current mortgage-holder as well as Truman Manor LLC, an entity that years ago had wanted to develop a senior citizen residential center on the site.
The property has been fenced.
"Environmental abatement is going on as we speak," Carnes said recently. Once asbestos removal is complete, demolition should follow, he said.
Truman Manor LLC had submitted plans to convert the almost 14 acres into a condominium project containing nearly 400 units. Residency was to have been restricted to those 55 and older, with amenities such as restaurants and shops.
The plan never went forward, however. Truman Manor, said Carnes, had hoped to see $6 million of tax-increment financing funds set aside for the condominium project, not the $2 million endorsed by an Independence advisory committee.
Last year the city received occasional complaints about weeds around the former hospital. The City Council, also last year, approved an ordinance setting aside about $1.5 million from Independence Power & Light's capital budget to acquire the property.
While the transaction closing date had been scheduled for Dec. 1, that now has been extended to March 15, said City Manager Robert Heacock. One condition, Heacock said, is the demolition of the main hospital building.
That is pending because of environmental issues, he said.
Upon taking the property, the city will renovate a former medical office building east of the old hospital. That will be used by Power & Light employees.

The strength of Gruss Software is that it's been designed by one of you, a frustrated sports punter, and then developed by listening to dozens of like-minded enthusiasts.
Gruss is owned and run by brothers Gary and Mark Russell. Gary discovered Betfair in 2004 and soon realised that using bespoke software to place bets was much more efficient than merely placing them through the website.
Gary built his own software and then enhanced its features after trialling it through other Betfair users and reacting to their improvement ideas, something that still happens today.
He started making a small monthly charge so he could work on it full-time and then recruited Mark to help develop the products and Gruss Software was born.
We think it's the best of its kind and so do a lot of our customers. But you can never stand still in this game and we'll continue to improve the software if any more great ideas emerge.

4 Financial Reminders for the Female Entrepreneur
Maybe you didn't know, but October is National Women's Small Business Month, celebrating women who work at being successful business owners. Maybe you also didn't know that more than 10 million small businesses in the United States are owned by women. That's encouraging news for female entrepreneurs. Like all business owners, though, successful businesses are built on successful financial habits. Even if you've been in business for a while, it's a good idea to review basic best practices to make sure you're staying on track for growth. Let's take a look at four of these practices.
Keep the Budget
The word "budget" can bring up images of horrific looking ledgers and reports. Men and women alike find budgeting daunting. While certainly budgets are detailed, I like to think of them in simpler terms when discussing good practices. A business budget is a listing of how much money a business has and where the money is being spent.
A good budget will show you how your income and expenses change. You should be seeing changes taking place from month to month and year to year. Budgeting allows the business owner to see growth in concrete terms (which is a real morale booster), as well as notice any financial discrepancies that may come up.
As a business owner, you will need to review the budget regularly – not only the income, but the amount and types of expenses. The amounts of insurance, employees or taxes may change dramatically, depending on where the business is financially. Take a look at your budget today. Are you where you want to be?
Pay the Boss
As a business owner, of course, you're the boss. But many business owners ignore their personal needs and return as much of the revenue back into the business as they can. Personal expenses do not go away, and by not paying yourself, you probably are putting your personal budget at risk. Pay yourself!
In the beginning, your salary may be budgeted to be just enough income to cover personal bills, food and other living expenses. As the business grows, successful owners pay themselves what they are worth, enjoying the fruits of their labor.
When paying the boss, remember there are no sick days or vacation days accruing, so consider rewarding yourself in other ways. And when thinking about what is a needed to cover personal expenses, don't forget savings, life insurance, retirement and other elements that make for a solid benefits package and financial plan.
Remember the Taxes
Taxes seem to be an ever-changing expense, and the laws around them are also ever-changing. Business owners need to be prepared for many different kinds of taxes, such as income, employment, property, sales and more, many at the federal state and local levels. The kind of business you own will dictate when and how you pay taxes. As a business owner, you will want to make sure you have a good CPA to help you navigate the system.
Make Connections
Strong connections can make a huge difference for a business. For example, even if you don't need capital right now, build a relationship with a banker or lending institution that has a track record of working with female entrepreneurs or who may have lending programs focused on women-owned businesses.
Connecting with other women business owners for mentoring and peer networking is another successful habit. Organizations such as National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), The Small Business Administration's Women Business Centers and local economic growth organizations offer workshops, seminars and mentorships with other successful female entrepreneurs. Some Chambers of Commerce also offer opportunity specifically for women business owners.
Finally, many women business owners work with financial planners. A financial planner who understands the unique needs of women entrepreneurs can guide you through the transitions that come with building a successful business, while helping you maintain a solid personal financial base. No matter which business you choose, seek a planner that you connect with, then work together to help you meet your goals.

The move will enable employers to pay wages of less than Rs 18,000 a month by cheque or digitally to bank accounts, besides in cash, by doing away with the requirement of employees' written consent for the same.
At present, wages can be given through cheque or transferred to a bank account only after a written authorisation from an employee. The Bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha on December 15, but it could not be taken up for discussion amid din over demonetisation.

If you meant the fields will still retain its identities like names, ID#.. yes they will. No matter if you use different language.
Let us know if this is not what you meant.
It will help us also understand if you can provide more details on your question.

Thanks Jonathan.
I meant that Jotform does not create a different table to the form replies for each language. There will be one table with the form fields and labels in the original language?

There is widespread concern, particularly amongst significant portions of the Generation X population with children, that video games, virtual reality, and the information overload, dowloaded so efficiently by the information super highway of the World Wide Web, has made the general society more… well… stupid.
To be sure, the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries produced technologies and practices which thoroughly revolutionized the economies and living standards of the Western World. The inventions and mechanized advances born during that era (particularly in 19th century England) sprang from a highly literate culture, one in which even the common man on the street was able to express himself with a literary and philosophical erudition not as often seen today. One reader, in comparing the old and the new, described how the previous era allowed for expression through art, allowed for a mind's greater capacity for memory and tasks, while today, we are encouraged to design only through a digital medium and are dependent on our iPhones to remind us of everything.
I agree with that premise. It is certain that the minds of the previous era were far richer in literature, the fine arts, philosophy and the like. Even the study of the hard sciences of that day took on a classical, humanistic, holistic bent. Any such person who was an educational product of that era was called a "humanis literatae" (a 'man of letters', also called a 'belletrist); incidentally, one may wish to read John Gross's, "The Rise and Fall of the Man of Letters: English Literary Life Since 1800" for a pleasantly enlightening discussion of the same. (An intriguing counter-point to the triumph of the Classical model, albeit in true pop-culture analysis style, may be found in, Steven Johnson's, "Everything Bad Is Good for You: How Today's Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter".)
Many such "men and women of letters", are extant and available today- Stanley Fish, William Safire, and William Deadwyler come instantly to mind. Classical education is not entirely dead, though it has taken a far-back seat to contemporary technology's priority usage.
Here is a list of thoughts and queries I've compiled for discussion amongst my students:
- Is it not the application of knowledge that is truly at issue? Is not the methodology and end-purpose, by which and for which one employs information the ultimate determinant? If the final result is that we have progressed as a people, does it matter from where the process was sourced? (This, of course, begs the idea of what may be truly defined as "progress").
- If the classical minds of the previous era were exposed to the technology of today, would they have the intellectual capability, the finesse, the presence of mind, and a developed enough combination of highly efficient physical and mental dexterity necessary to keep up?
- Does the fact that the classical brain is neuroplasticized by literature and the arts make it an altogether "better" brain than the modern brain, the majority of whose synaptic connections are formed by reading online as opposed to on paper, by watching an educational program shot in HD resolution rather than observing directly in nature, by sharpening the reflexes and problem-solving skills by navigating through the complex world of today's video games rather than working through a physical puzzle or labyrinth?
- Is there a problem with the fact that knowledge gleaned from what was once "real world" experience is now knowledge gleaned from a "virtual world"? Does this "dehumanize", or perhaps even "roboticize" the learner? Are we really at risk of building a nation of Borg?
- For many, brain usage is a matter of intellectual preference, that is, some will naturally move toward the classical model and others toward the technological model. Is it just, or even useful, to attempt to predispose a person towards one or the other?
- Can a classically trained mind be an asset to the technologically trained mind? Does the reverse hold true? Which of the two is more "adaptable"?
- Is one type of brain better equipped to deal with the modern world, or, is there truly a place for everyone?
- Does the argument for one "type" of brain's superiority over another risk intellectual homogeneity? Is it possible to cripple the diversity of ideas?
Reader's thoughts?

Sometimes when I write, I actually act it out too.
There, I said it.
Sometimes, it might be an action and I can't figure out the words without doing it. I might sit at my desk, picking my diary up over and over trying to understand if my character is just picking it up or grabbing it or are they snatching it?
Other times I am pulling faces at my laptop trying to re-learn how my face moves when I'm angry and then there are other occasions where there is too much action for my little brain to handle and I need to step it out a little. (Plus, I can only sit still in front of a computer for so long before I get fidgety.)
Why am I admitting this today? Well, because this morning I booked myself into a beginners course in armed combat. Huzzah!
Occasionally, I may tell people that I am doing this for research for one of my projects. But to be honest, I am only doing it because it will make me feel like an action hero.

Ancient Aliens Season 3 Episode 1
Aliens and The Old West HQ [Full]
Opening with clips from the 2011 film Cowboys & Aliens, this episode looks at American Old West legends that may have involved ET contact, such as the Aurora, Texas UFO incident where a local cemetery claims to hold a body from an 1897 UFO crash; Native American legends surrounding the Serpent mound in Adams County, Ohio; reports of a Thunderbird that periodically emerged fromCalifornia's Elizabeth Lake, and a story of ranchers shooting at "metallic birds" near Tombstone, Arizona.
Ancient Aliens Season 3 Episode 2 (FULL)
"Aliens and Monsters"
This episode examines modern-day genetic engineering, cloning and hybridization technology, and suggests that such technology could have been used by ancient aliens in the past to manipulate mankind and the environment. Also theorized are that the legends of creatures, such as the Chimera and Hydra, and humanoids, such as the Minotaur and Medusa, may have been encounters with beings created through alien animal/human hybrid experimentation.
Ancient Aliens Season 3 Episode 3 (FULL)
"Aliens and Sacred Places"
This episode suggests that some of mankind's most sacred places were points of contact by alien beings. Examples given are Jerusalem's Temple Mount and Dome of the Rock; the Kaaba stone at the Islam shrine at Mecca; the temples of the Ajanta Caves in India; the churches of Lalibela, Ethiopia that are carved out of rock; and the ancient city of Baalbek in Lebanon which was allegedly built with a "landing pad" of monolithic rock.
Ancient Aliens Season 1 Episode 4 (FULL)
"Aliens and Temples of Gold"
This episode suggests that aliens came to Earth to mine gold. Examined are the legends of cities of gold such as El Dorado and Paititi; Lake Puray in Peru where UFO sightings may be linked to gold beneath the lake; the gold-creating device called the Philosopher's Stone; the Hall of Records beneath the Great Sphinx of Giza, (suggested to be a repository of ancient knowledge); a Medieval church in the French village of Rennes-le-Château that may hold the secrets of alchemy; and Scotland's Rosslyn Chapel where a helix-shaped pillar, (suggested to represent DNA), may be the hiding place of the Holy Grail.
Ancient Aliens Season 1 Episode 5 (FULL)
"Aliens and Mysterious Rituals"
This episode proposes that various ancient sites and the rituals performed there were not to praise mythical gods, but to reenact contact and communication with alien beings. Examples given are the Mayan temple of El Castillo, Chichen Itza; the Celtic Beltane Festival; the ceremonies of the Kayapo people of Brazil that involve a dancer dressed in an outfit that resembles a spacesuit; Medieval coronation ceremonies and the symbolic meanings of thrones, crowns and scepters as communication devices to the heavens; Native American and Shamanistic chants and prayers; and the ritual meanings of the Catholic Mass.
Ancient Aliens Season 1 Episode 6 (FULL)
"Aliens and Ancient Engineers"
This episode suggests that several ancient sites were built with help from aliens. Examples given are the ruins of Ollantaytambo in Peru, (an Inca city believed built atop a far older and more advanced-built fortress); the pyramids of Teotihuacan in Mexico, (which use heat and radiation shielding Mica in their engineering); the temples of Vijayanagara in India, (suggested to have been designed to tap into cosmic energy); the temples of Karnak in Egypt, (which show symmetrical and precision sculpting believed unobtainable by primitive hand tools); and the ancient ruins on Malta, (whose designs seems to have incorporated an acoustic energy technology).
Ancient Aliens Season 1 Episode 7 (FULL)
"Aliens, Plagues and Epidemics"
This episode suggests that some plagues and diseases were brought on by pathogens of extraterrestrial origin. Examples given are sudden pandemics such as the Spanish Influenza, the Plague of Athens, the Justinian Plague and the Black Plague, which were accompanied by reports of unusual celestial phenomena, and the appearance of strange creatures and objects in the sky; ancient carvings of figures dressed in what are suggested to be hazmat suits; unexplained illnesses that have appeared after meteor impacts, NASA experiments with bacteria and extremophiles that can survive in the extreme conditions of space; and the recent appearance of unusual medical conditions such as Morgellons Disease.
Ancient Aliens Season 1 Episode 8 (FULL)
"Aliens and Lost Worlds"
This episode suggests that various past civilizations were ruled by otherworldly beings. Examined are carvings in the Mayan city of Copán that are suggested to depict kings dressed in spacesuits; the Greek and Persian temples of Nemrud Dagi in Turkey, constructed by King Antiochus who some believe had advanced knowledge of astronomy and access to "magical" technology; the Nazca people of Peru who elongated their skulls to possibly mimic beings they encountered; the Moai statues of Easter Island that may have been erected with anti-gravity technology, and the Garden of Eden which may have been an alien laboratory for the creation of mankind.
Ancient Aliens Season 1 Episode 9 (FULL)
"Aliens and Deadly Weapons"
This episode suggests that the development of various weapons throughout history may have been guided by aliens. Examined are ancient legends that speak of fire and the secrets of metalworking as gifts from the gods; stories of divine weapons such as the sword Excalibur as possibly given its power from an alien source; the mystery of Greek fire, a gift from angels for the Byzantines; the development of the complicated chemistry involved in gun powder by the ancient Chinese; the writings of the ancient Hindu Mahabharata that speaks of high tech weapons such as guided missiles, beam weapons and nuclear devices used by the gods; and the Cambodian tales of Preah Pisnulok who wielded a blazing sword reminiscent of the science-fictional lightsaber.
Ancient Aliens Season 1 Episode 10 (FULL)
"Aliens and Evil Places"
This episode examines various places on Earth that are associated with evil and death, and suggests that they may have otherworldly connections.

1. Can you name three good things about Southern weather in August? Air Conditioning doesn't count!
(a) You have to slow down and stay inside.
(b) Lots and lots of ripe tomatoes.
(c) Hummingbirds and butterflies come to visit in full force.
2. What do you consider to be the best time of the year weather-wise to be a Southerner?
I'm torn between late Fall and early Spring. Both have cool, crisp air and beautiful colors. I lean towards Spring a bit, because the flowers and the new life all around are very invigorating for me, plus it means I get to go outside and work in the garden. On the other hand, the Spring also means that Summer and its heat is coming soon, which isn't so fun.
3. Who is the most manic weather person tornado wise?
I don't really watch enough TV weather to know any of them. When we have a storm worthy of flipping on the TV, it generally seems like we lose power and are stuck fiddling around with the radio trying to get weather information and straining our ears to hear if the tornado siren is blaring outside.

Leading from the Heart
(Unlocking the Keys to Your Leadership Potential)
Leaders who avoid or do not recognize the art of 'leading from the heart' soon become mechanical and uninspiring managers. They end up just going through the motions, using the annual planning/budgeting calendar to determine what happens next. These leaders fall into the trap of assuming that everyone 'just gets it'. What these managers do not realize is that their team is just as bad as they are – just going through the motions collecting a paycheck. They are definitely not passionate about much of anything on the job.
To passionately connect with customers, superiors, subordinates and communities, it takes more than management mechanics. Classroom education can teach us the mechanics of how to manage and how to think. However, a professor can never teach you how to feel and why it is important to lead with passion, or how to act as a passionate leader. Each individual has to learn what he or she is or can be passionate about, and then act on it with passion.
Passion comes from one's heart. It is based on what and how you feel. It is easier for others to understand what you want, when they can sense how you feel about the objective. If you are a robotic manager, no one can know how you feel about anything because you are not showing any emotions. A leader's passion is what others need to see and feel for them to believe. This is also how a potential leader gains followers, making them a true leader.
After all without followers, there is no leading!

Which believe it or not is a book called Finding Alaska. It's a YA novel so I was able to finish it in one day. Now, though, I'm too tired to write. Goodnight.*EDIT*
PRE-Script: This post is free of spoilers. I'm not out to ruin endings or help anyone with their homework.
Wow, I must have been quite tired. I didn't even get the name of the book correct. The book is called Looking for Alaska. I'd apologize to John Green but I'm fairly certain that he does not frequent my blog.
There are several good things about reading an entire coming of age novella/novel on a Thursday night.
a. You won't be tempted to go out to some "ladies' night" and get hit on by old men while your shoes are sticking to the floor thanks to the healthy layer of cheap beer that coats the floor of every evening establishment.
b. You will spend the rest of the weekend feeling young, but grateful that you made it out of puberty just a bit less traumatized than your average Holden or Charlie, or in this case, Miles.
c. You will begin your weekend feeling accomplished, which will in turn motivate you to be more… well, motivated. I cannot, f course, guarantee this. I can however, tell you that on Friday I was an unstoppable force, a regular aficionado of getting sh*t done. I even paid my library late fines.
d. and if a, b, and c weren't enough for you there's always the consolation that you escaped your own life for a few hours and lived an entire story as someone else. In my case it was a whole school year. It's like free life.
Looking for Alaska was overall, not a disappointment. I was tentative to read it when I realized that John Green is the same author who penned the popular, The Fault in Our Stars. I guess it's not fair that I immediately am turned off from popular literature but it's hard not to gag when popular literature continues to spew innocent female main characters with no personality who fall desperately in love with dark men with supernatural/disturbing secrets. I'm looking at you Bella Swan and girl from 50 Shades of Gray.
I enjoyed this book, but is scared me. I know I led a sheltered childhood. I wouldn't have dreamed of misbehaving in the ways I saw other teenagers doing so in movies and in books. I'd venture to guess that there will always be kid like me, kids who are spectators in mischief and never participators no matter how enticing the activity becomes. And I don't want to be a book banner or anything but I think if this book were assigned to my child in school I would be really conflicted. There are a lot of experiences in this book that I wouldn't want my child to imitate. Certainly John green does not create a world where his characters live without consequence, in fact, there are terrible and real consequences to reckless and thoughtless behavior that the novel make abundantly clear in a way that I admired. It's just that I sometimes worry that reckless behavior is displayed as the norm, therefore, making it normative. Once I get past the maternal goo in my female brain though, the story was captivating, even if often predictable. The three main characters were well developed. Others were not so much but what can you expect a guy to get done in 221 pages?
I liked it. It was entertaining. I think that if a book is well written you don't have to be overly fond of the characters to feel a connection to them. If I had met any of these characters in the halls of my own High School, I can say almost certainly, that we would not have been friends. I understood the characters though, and I was happy to get to know them. The main character, Miles, is very fond of one of his teachers in a way that I found interesting. The teacher is not very kind to Miles on several occasions, but Miles doesn't take it personally and still believes the teacher to be brilliant. Maybe that is true and it's probably wise not to take it personally when reprimanded in class, but I'm not sure it's a wisdom that most teenagers, or adults for that matter, have attained. In my experience, teenagers take reprimanding quite personally. Maybe in some ways Miles is wise beyond his years; there are definitely many moments in which he is not. I wouldn't be surprised to see this book beginning to appear on High School summer reading lists. I hope though, that it will be for Juniors and Seniors and not for eighth graders just entering their freshman year. That is the summer that I read The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison. Supposedly, a modern classic, however, I can't bring myself to reread it since that first terrifying time.
So, on a scale from 1-10 I give Looking for Alaska a 6.5. It's brief and entertaining without being trivial. It wasn't a game changer for me but it easily could be for someone else.
The next titles on my list is The Yiddish Policeman's Union, by Michael Chabon. Set in Alaska, near present day it is not at all the Alaska that currently exists. Chabon imagines a world where instead of suffering persecution in Europe during WW2, European Jews were offered temporary refuge in Alaska…How thoughtful. I'm only about 150 pages in. It's a murder mystery- not really the genre I seek out on my own. It's interesting enough though. There are a lot of Yiddish words that I need to Google. It feels similar to when I read in french with a dictionary and verb book handy. So far, I'm undecided. He is a celebrated author. I've heard him described as the best living author. I am unconvinced. It could just be that I despise cops. I'll keep reading and let you know.

Request received - loud & clear!
Returning you to where you were...
Being one of the oldest players in the housing loan market, DHFL (Dewan Housing Finance Limited) has been providing affordable and competitive housing loans for decades now. With a pan-India presence, this HFC (Housing Finance Company) has offices in various towns and cities in the country. It offers a plethora of products for individuals in the retail housing segment as below.
Since housing loan involves a high quantum of money, the paperwork and processing can be sophisticated and time consuming. At DHFL, the processing of the DHFL home loan application is done in various phases and it's important to know the nitty gritties to ensure there are no slips from your end. The first step in this process would involve filing the application form (available online and at branches) and submitting it along with a cheque as fee towards initial processing.
Owning a house is a smart investment and comes with great tax benefits.Explore Home Loans
During the first phase, DHFL representatives will determine the repayment capacity after taking into account, income and accuracy of the information furnished in the application form. In the backdrop of the details provided, the credit team will determine the amount you'll be eligible for.
After ascertaining the home loan amount, the representatives will now carry out a thorough credit check to scrutinize the credit history to assess the creditworthiness of the applicant. This is a critical phase since it can make or break the prospects for applicant. It's advised that you retrieve a copy of credit report before applying for a loan with a view to resolve disputes or wrong entries in the report which may go against your application.
If everything goes well in the step above, DHFL will make arrangements for conditional sanction of the loan. Considering the various sub-processes involved, it may take a few days to make a decision on the loan application.
In this phase, DHFL will issue a formal letter offering a loan amount as discussed and agreed upon. This letter will also serve as an acceptance of the loan application and should be signed by all the applicant(s) after reading the terms and conditions. The applicant is also required to verify the authenticity of information furnished in the letter and get discrepancies (if any) corrected.
Towards the end of this step, the representatives at DHFL will advise you further on additional paperwork and the way forward.
This step consists of two sub-processes to be conducted simultaneously.
The Technical Assessment will be done by a qualified surveyor who will examine the property to be provided as security. After completing the assessment, a detailed report will be submitted to DHFL for further scrutiny.
The Legal Assessment process deals with examination of the property documents from a legal point of view. Agreements, Titles and other papers will be closely examined to determine if the property can be mortgaged for lending. Depending on the market value of the property, the terms and conditions may be slightly altered.
After acceptance of the offer and completion of all checks including the ones mentioned in the step above, the applicant is required to submit a cheque as payment of final processing fees. Once the cheque is cleared, a loan disbursement cheque will be issued at the designated branch/office.
The first loan repayment will begin a month after the disbursement date.
As a well informed and educated borrower, it's paramount to be pro-active during the application process and follow the laid down procedure. Be sure to communicate through appropriate channels during various stages of processing with the representatives. Delay in supplying paperwork will result in prolongation of the approval process.

It's really hard to ignore religion when it comes to death. Those questions of what happens to us when we die often become even more heightened during the funeral, reflection and mourning periods.
You would hope that reporters might pick up on this major detail when covering a funeral, but we found few details in the coverage of the funeral for Gen. Vang Pao, a Hmong hero of the Central Intelligence Agency's war in Laos. The New York Times article does point out how there usually is some sort of religious ritual for funerals per Hmong custom.
If Vang Pao had died a simple farmer like so many other Hmong here, his funeral would have been an elaborate affair.
For three days, as Hmong custom has it, his family and friends would have mourned in high-pitched chants, feasted on freshly slaughtered beef and burned a giant pile of paper money to buy his soul into the spirit world.
The article focuses on the question of whether General Vang Pao could be buried at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. Last week, the Pentagon said that it would not waive a policy that restricts military burials at the cemetery to American military members. But in Fresno, California, Pao's funeral lasted six days and nights, with 10 cows slaughtered.
If this was a traditional Hmong funeral, it came with plenty of modifications, said Lee Vang, a nephew of the general who helped organize the service.
There were 30 spiritual guides instead of one. The wood coffin was not like those usually favored by the Hmong: Orthodox Jewish models with the Star of David engraved on top. This coffin, the nephew said, had been planed and carved and flown in by a team of Hmong men from St. Paul.
These details are really great to include, but they appear more confusing than helpful. Reader Micheal Hickerson sent in his reaction:
I loved the details of the service. Yet I was still left with a basic question: what religion was being described? I had assumed that most Hmong were Buddhist or perhaps Catholic converts, but the article refers to shamans and spiritual guides. Was this traditional Hmong religion, or a syncretistic tradition perhaps? And I loved the detail that most Hmong are buried in Orthodox Jewish caskets with the Star of David on them, but WHY? Is the Star of David significant to Hmong? Or is there something else about Orthodox Jewish caskets that the Hmong favor? Again, I loved the details, but I wish I had more context.
What he said.
Funerals often reveal the religious views of the person being honored, through the message given, rituals or symbols. It sounds like this particular funeral was almost multi-religious, but it doesn't help us understand much about the man being honored or what he believed. The article could have shed more light on some of the Hmong culture, describing commonly-held beliefs about life after death.

How Relevant Are University League Tables?
My unis (SOAS) gone way down in rankings (from being a top 10 uni) since I started there. My combination of two subjects isn't offered anywhere else in the country, though, and SOAS surely can't be properly compared to other unis since it's slant on things is a bit specialist and less than 4000 students go there. Who else went to a small but decent uni (what has your experience been?)
Do employers look at league tables or do they have their own opinions/ideas?
What wins Guardian or Times? Or is it all bollocks?
Outside of whether it's Oxbridge, redbrick or former poly,
I don't think that employers look at league tables as such, rather the reputation based upon the individual subject. If they're good employers, they'll know what's the best in their field.
I know how you feel about rankings sliding though. When I went to Newcastle Uni it was rated as one of the best Architecture schools in the country. Depending on the measure, it was THE best school in the country, and sat up there with Cambridge, Sheffield, UCL and Nottingham in the others. But not any more. The student intake doubled, it lost ground in comparison to other institutions when it came to investment and facilities, and the best tutors left (the older lecturers all seemed to retire just after we passed through). As a result it started to drop down the tables, and then the students it attracted became less capable and committed. In my view, the old poly, Northumbria, now has a better architecture department than Newcastle, and that didn't even get accreditation until a couple of years ago.
after hearing this i'm worried i accepted.
even though i'm planing on doing a different course, if one department can go down the pan like that it doesn't bode well for the others.
on the open day i wasn't really really impressed with the university, like i was at southampton, but everything seemed quite nice and i was totally sucked in by the city.
I don't really know much about archaelogy,
but it doesn't seem to do too badly here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/table/2009/may/12/university-guide-archaeology
Plus, as you say, the city's pretty awesome.
I think that things have settled down now. When I started, the polytechnics had just become universities and there was a massive expansion of student numbers, rapid investment and major new technologies (eg the first time I'd ever used the internet was at university). It was going to take a few years for everything to calm down. I don't think we'll see this level of upheaval in universities for a long time.
If the Aust. experience is any guide
you can be assured of nothing but perpetual upheaval.

Kundalini yoga is a technique of meditation to revitalize physical, mental and spiritual development in a human body. It is a form of yoga discipline including Raja yoga, Shakti yoga, Bhakti yoga, tantra, Kriya yoga, Laya-yoga and Nada yoga. According to Hindu mythology, Kundalini yoga is one of the pillars of Patanjali's Yoga Sutra. Kundalini yoga is practiced to empower inner consciousness of a human body. It has been thought that there are seven chakras in a human body namely - Muladhara Chakra, Svadhisthana Chakra, Manipura Chakra, Anahata Chakra, Vishuddha Chakra, Ajna Chakra and Sahasrara Chakra.
According to Hindu mythology, Kundalini is a sleeping force inside a human body. The sleeping force is entitled as a snake. It is said that the snake resides in the inner part of a human body.
Kundalini yoga is a technique of awakening the snake to revitalize all these seven chakras of a human body. A human body can function properly if all the seven chakras will be in awakening mood. Actually all these seven chakras lie inside a human body in a sleeping mood. Kundalini yoga is a technique of awakening these seven chakras of a human body. The goal of Kundalini yoga is to make a chord of mingling inner power in one tune. The snake is to run through all the seven chakras and work properly. This process forms a super inner power and it finally clubs to one point.
Kundalini yoga is a technical meditation of enabling the snake to move over the seven chakras and if this process is practiced in a fine tuned manner, then all the seven chakras will empower to work properly. Once all the seven chakras will empower to work properly, it strengthens inner power of a human body.
Most of the people are unaware about disadvantages of Kundalini yoga because they do not have proper knowledge of it. Kundalini yoga is mainly derived from the Hindu mythology. However, it is now being practiced worldwide as a meditative technique of physical, mental and spiritual healing. But if it is not practiced in proper guidance it may have many disadvantages. Therefore, Kunadlini yoga is to be practiced with a proper guidance of a Guru.
Kundalini yoga is very important meditative technique of spiritual discipline for our body. You have to do good practice of Kundalini yoga with the help of a Guru. Otherwise, it may lead you to have disadvantages instead of advantages. Kundalini yoga is like an elixir of life. It strengthens your inner power to fight against diseases. It's like a shield for your body to protect from diseases and evil forces.

Baptist to build Southbank parking garage
In addition to the towering Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center building, which is currently being constructed on San Marco Boulevard in North San Marco, the folks at Baptist Health may soon be engaged in another sizable building project on the Southbank side of Interstate 95 near Wolfson Children's Hospital.
In a meeting held Oct.20 at City Hall, the Downtown Development Review Board unanimously granted conceptual approval, with a few conditions, on plans presented by Baptist Medical Center to build a parking garage on surface parking lot A across the street from Wolfson Children's Hospital.
With the plans, Baptist intends to spruce up the existing parking lot which lies on land bordered by Gary Street and I-95 to the south, Palm Avenue to the west, Prudential Drive to the north and San Marco Boulevard to the east. The proposed parking garage will sit on land bordered by Prudential Drive, San Marco Boulevard, Palm Avenue and a new, private road named Baptist Way, which will separate the garage from a smaller surface lot to its south. The surface lot will border Gary Street/I-95, Palm Avenue, San Marco Boulevard and Baptist Way.
The proposed 817,000-square-foot parking structure will comprise seven stories and accommodate 2,247 cars, including 33 handicapped spaces. No public parking will be available; it will be reserved exclusively for Baptist and Wolfson Children's Hospital employees, patients and some employees who work for companies housed in the Aetna Building, said Frank Brooks, Chairman of FreemanWhite, an architectural firm in charge of the project for Baptist.
The entrance and exit to the garage will be at the corner of Palm Avenue and the newly formed Baptist Way, where a park-like lawn and shade trees will be installed and a louvered awning will provide shade along a walkway that extends along the west side in front of the garage. A potential sky bridge spanning Palm Avenue near the intersection of Prudential Drive, connecting the garage with Wolfson Children's Hospital has also been drawn into the plans.
The garage will be constructed of precast concrete panels and curtain wall elements to complement the surrounding structures, while metal sun shading devices will accent the west façade. Also on the side facing Palm Avenue, LED bands will be installed across the façade to create an abstract "river of light" across the west elevation.
To the east along San Marco Boulevard, the garage will have a "saw tooth" design and a layered landscape buffer and palm trees will screen the new, smaller surface parking lot. The sidewalk improvements will mirror what is called for in the San Marco historic district.
Along Prudential Drive to the north and along San Marco Boulevard to the east, the architects are hoping to use black vinyl-coated chain-link fence and landscaping, Brooks said.
Monumental signage will be placed on the towering corners of the garage, Brooks said.
Although the board raved about the west side of the garage facing Palm Avenue and Baptist Hospital, several members were less than happy with the garage's appearance on the other three sides. "It is obvious the budget on your garage diminishes as you get away from Palm Avenue," said Craig Davisson, calling the sides facing Prudential Drive and San Marco Boulevard "lackluster." Davisson also said he felt the architects should be more cognizant that 90 percent of the traffic would view the structure from San Marco Boulevard and I-95. "The garage is turning its back on the Southbank," he said.
Christian Harden shared similar concerns, particularly on the south side where the structure faces Gary Street and I-95. "We have 75,000 people driving by the city and will see a blank horizon," he said. "It's a gateway. I think the shadowbox you've created on the west is brilliant and the lighting is great. I think it looks terrific. It may not be realistic to match this on the south elevation, but that to me is what's needed. It will look wonderful from Baptist's perspective, but to everyone else who drives by it, it would be nice to have something that is more visually appealing."

I have a lot of stuff I need to keep: movies, music, application preferences, etc. Should I just use Carbon Copy Cloner to backup the entire Panther disk and then move back everything I need or just backup what I think it's important? Also, will I have any problems in keeping the Lacie drive with a FAT filesystem? I want portability between Windows boxes and my Mac. Thank you. PS: I chose USB2 because of price and I need to use it in some Windows machines, so please don't discuss my choice in external hds

I don't know if I've mentioned this previously, but before I knew Gili had CMV, I still had this feeling that she was different. Like her place in this world was less secure. She was smaller, more delicate, and less aware than my older children. I was thinking about it again today. People say that children are a gift, but really, they are a loan. There is an idea that people with special challenges like handicaps. poverty (or wealth), or other unique circumstances were put in that situation on earth for a reason, like to make up for something their soul did in a previous life. Once in a while I wonder if Gili's soul was given CMV as a challenge, but right now she seems so happy, I wonder if she will ever really feel the burden of her disabilities.
The main thing I was thinking today was how honored I am that G-d loaned me this special soul. I was thinking this while I was writing Gili's name on her car seat and on her towel for water therapy tomorrow. I want to write my name all over her to say she belongs to me, bring her back to my arms as soon as possible! But I'm just so happy to have her on loan. I was thinking this again when I was covering her in good night kisses and backing out of the room while observing my three peaceful children. All life is precious, and you never know what could happen tomorrow, but I feel like the terms of Gili's loan are still more uncertain. I'm just so grateful for any time we have together. I hope we are walking hand in hand when I am 100!

Thank you for your post. I think all of us parents need to be reminded that our children are all special gifts from G-d that are on loan to us for way too short. Thanks for reminding me!ReplyDelete
Big Bro's teacher was telling me today how good it is that Gili is in a special school. She was telling me about her special 18-year-old son. He plays the piano. She was telling me how important it is because they are such high souls and we don't completely know how to deal with their needs, but they can express themselves through the arts.ReplyDelete

Presentation of VISCED at EDEN Conference in Porto
Tuesday, 12 June 2012
The annual EDEN Conference took place in Porto this year from 6-9 June. Attracting about 350 participants, this year the theme of the conference was "Open Learning Generations - Closing the Gap from Generation "Y" to Mature Lifelong Learners" . Paul Bacsich presented the VISCED project in a session featuring significant European and International e-Learning Initiatives where he provided an update on the status of the project and highlighted a number of distinguising features of virtual schooling.
