Migdal Ohr was established in 1972.
This is how it all began… Rabbi Yitzchak Dovid Grossman born in Jerusalem and six generations in Israel is Rabbi of Migdal HaEmek and a member of the Chief Rabbinate as well as Founder and Dean of the Migdal Ohr Educational Campus in Migdal HaEmek and the national educational network connected to it, where thousands of students learn. Rabbi Grossman is involved continually in prisoner rehabilitation, Aliya absorption and uniting the nation.
Rabbi Grossman with his visionary leadership is a unique individual. The "Disco"or "Prison Rabbi", as he is often known, is renowned for his tremendous work reaching out to troubled youth and young adults across Israel, in addition to countless welfare projects throughout the country.
In short, Migdal Ohr has grown exponentially and now includes:
- 14 schools on 3 campuses throughout the country, serving over 12,000 students at any given time,
- Migdal HaEmek, Migdal Ohr's main campus, which contains day care centers, kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, trade schools, modern dormitories, indoor sports facilities, and a medical center,
- Prisoner rehabilitation programs in Israel's prisons. Rabbi Grossman stands out as one of the key success factors in rehabilitating Israeli prisoners with the opportunity to learn Torah, Judaism and a trade in preparation for their release but most importantly gives them hope for a brighter future. The recidivism rate among the "graduates" of Migdal Ohr's rehabilitation activities stands at about 10%, a sharp contrast to the 90% in the general prison population,
- Occupational Training Center offering young adult education courses responsive to the requirements of government and industry. Courses fall into three categories: Occupational Diploma Courses, Education extension courses, after-school enrichment programs,
- 800 staff, 80% of whom are alumni of Migdal Ohr programs, and being graduates of Migdal Ohr,
- 80% of graduates, previously at-risk youth, who pursue higher education,
- Sulamot – a unique program in partnership with the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra and the Mayumana Dance Group,
- Electronic Engineering and Computer Science Program in partnership with the IDF,
- Ohr Yisraeli Youth Clubs, 160 Youth Clubs with over 7,000 at-risk youth participating each week,
- Summer camps and activities throughout the country,
- Zoharim Agricultural-Educational Youth Village for high school dropouts,
- Gan Yavne Academic College for Ultra-Orthodox men,
- The Migdal Ohr Bridal Fund, which provides alumni couples with the basic necessities for their weddings, including: a wedding dress for the bride, a venue, catering and entertainment for the guests and a modest sum of money for the couple to begin their new lives together,
- Distribution of 25,000 food packages to needy families for the Passover & Rosh Hashanah

American Dreamer: The Life of Henry A. Wallace by John C. Culver and John Hyde. I loved the book! I also found myself admiring Henry Walllace, who progressed from being a progressive Republican, to a progressive Democrat, to founding the Progressive Party. (Click here for a very good online short biography of Henry Agaard Wallace.)
Wallace is perhaps most commonly remembered as a member of the cabinets of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He served as Secretary of Agriculture in Roosevelt's first two administrations, Vice President in the third, and Secretary of Commerce in Roosevelt's fourth administration and for a year or so under Truman.
He was perhaps the most innovative and important Secretary of Agriculture in American history. (His father had also been Secretary of Agriculture.) When he took office during the Great Depression, American farmers were in great difficulty. Demand for their produce had dropped and prices had dropped even more dramatically. The had responded by producing more, thinking that they could make up for lower prices by producing more; the impact of increased supply however was to drive prices still lower. Farmers who had borrowed to survive found that mortgages were foreclosed and they were losing their farms. The 1930s were also a time of drought, poor yields, and eventually the dust bowl.
|Wallace did part his hair on the left.
When he became Secretary of Commerce, the nations industry was in full war production. There was full employment, but few consumer goods available since production was supplying the U.S. military and the military needs of the allies. Private savings were high and growing. Economic stability was assured for the moment by price controls and government allocation of goods in the economy. But it was clear that the war would soon be over and the nation would have to deal with a difficult transition to peacetime production, with a real risk of returning to a state of underemployment.
Under Wallace, the nation for the first time passed legislation to provide full employment. He created the Council of Economic Advisers and an Office of Science and Technology for the Commerce Department and promoted the government's role in research and development and technology transfer for industry. He started a reform of the patent system. He also helped to move the Department's focus from excessive focus on big business to a recognition of the critical role of small business in job creation.
As Secretary of Agriculture, Wallace oversaw a huge governmental bureaucracy, and as Secretary of Commerce he oversaw the work of a broad spectrum of responsibilities from standards, to economic statistics, to intellectual property rights, to the administration of international trade. Yet, as Vice President he had few constitutionally specified responsibilities.
However, Wallace took office as Vice President in 1941 as the United States was preparing for war and beginning to support the war effort of the Allies. President Roosevelt, however, broke precedent and assigned him major executive responsibilities -- notably direction of the War Production Board. His travels in Latin America were very valuable in promoting the Roosevelt Good Neighbor policy and bringing Latin American countries to support the Allies during the war. The fact that he had studied Spanish (among several languages) and was able to chat with people and deliver speeches in that language helped with his diplomacy.
The book illuminates the leadership style of FDR, and the proliferation of agencies under his administrations. It suggests the bureaucratic infighting among his cabinet members, and the infighting between conservatives and liberals even within government agencies. It shows the swing towards conservatism when FDR died and President Truman took office; Truman quickly replace the members of FDR's cabinet with his own appointees until only Wallace was left, and then fired Wallace.
Authors Culver (a former Representative and former Senator) and Hyde (a professional journalist) provide detailed information on Henry Wallace's three election campaigns. He won the Democratic nomination for Vice President in 1940 against strong competition due to the support of FDR and the machinations of FDR's political operatives. He lost the Democratic nomination for Vice President in 1944 to Harry Truman due to the choice of FDR to support Truman and to the machinations of FDR's political operatives. He was buried in the presidential election of 1948 as the nominee of the Progressive Party, an unsuccessful third party movement.
|Nicholas Roerich
Wallace was an intermediary between FDR and the Manhattan Project which developed the atom bomb; he was one of the first to recognize the problems that nuclear weapons were to create in the post war period. He was the first to promote real concern for the poverty, hunger and despair that were rampant in Europe after World War II, and is credited in the book with efforts that resulted in the Marshall Plan (as Truman became more liberal in the 1948 election campaign in response to the progressive challenge and to win over Dewey). While he was a supporter of American war efforts when the United States was at war, he was also very active in the promotion of peace.
Wallace opposed the Kennan-Truman policy of containment of the USSR with a ring of military installations. He believed that peace could have been negotiated with Stalin's Russia, especially in the aftermath of World War II (where Russia had taken huge casualties and lost most of its productive capacity). The peace agenda was central to the Progressive Party and to Wallace's presidential campaign. It also put Wallace into the sights of the HUAC, the House Un-American Activities Committee, Richard Nixon, and Joseph McCarthy as well as the conservative media. He dealt with false charges of being a Communist dupe for a decade.
He was the leader in the promotion of hybrid corn and the principle founder of Pioneer High Bred which played the key role in the development and dissemination of hybrid seed; the firm eventually made him and his family very wealthy although his life style was always modest. Later in life he pioneered the development of improved breeds of chickens, and the High Line chickens from his efforts eventually dominated U.S. and global egg production.
The improved varieties have helped to feed the world's burgeoning population for decades. He convinced the Rockefeller Foundation to create and support CIMMyT, the International Center for the Improvement of Corn and Wheat, and thereby played a key role in the Green Revolution.
Henry Wallace was a scientist and a statesman, a politician and a philosopher who was devoted and dedicated to peace -- but above all he was a good man.While the book is clearly a biography, and indeed a political biography, it sheds light on the changes that took place in the U.S. economy and society as well as in government during Wallace's life (1888 to 1965). I found it hard to put down. While it is longer than most of the books I read, I read it in half the time I usually take with a book. I suspect it benefits from the author's deep understanding of politics (especially Iowa politics) and their journalistic capacities. I recommend it highly!

Well there actually have been snakes in Calgary's water today. To find out more about that go here, to find out the Sister's definition of a "Snakes in the water day" go here... as in right here. Where you are now.
Over a year ago, both my sister and I, and our friends, and it seemed like everyone, was having a horrible day. That very day, two snakes escaped from their confines in the Calgary Zoo. The zoo was working with the city to check the water pipes for these snakes, one being the Malagasy Giant Hognosed snake. We then decided that the reason for the massively horrible day, is the fact that these snakes were in the water, and that any day henceforth that is the same, must be so because there are snakes in the water. They eventually found the snakes, and they were not that far from home. You can see these snakes at the Calgary Zoo anytime.
Anyways, anytime there are snakes in the water everyone needs a bit more beauty, and wonder. Here's a video of a a very talented craftsman creating a bench out of one piece of wood... amazing.

Bourbon Balls at City Hall
One thing you can say about Councilor Heldmeyer is ... she's got balls.
Going into City Hall frequently, I get to know some of the employees working there. I wander the halls like a ghost, ending up in some meeting, induction or just a going away party, like yesterday, for the departing City Attorney Bruce Thompson. Bruce is heading back to Albuquerque to work for the big City down there where he lives. Most of the Santa Fe City workers don't live in Santa Fe, even the ones that can afford to, don't.
The ladies in the office welcomed me into the Attorney's conference room that had a table full of goodies. Great smell of coffee from the corner and a smile on everyone's face. I wondered, why are people so happy when they leave the City's employ?
Speaking of leaving, Police Chief Bev Lennen and her daughter came in. The Chief is not only leaving Santa Fe but she's getting completely out of the Fat Bill State.
Councilor David Coss and Councilor Heldmeyer came in at about the same time. She placed a tray of ball shaped cookies on the table of sweets. Apparently these 'Bourbon Balls" are a specialty of Councilor "Heidi" Heldmeyer. At 11 am, one of those suckers gave me a buzz and glued my bottom to the chair I was sitting in for about 15 minutes. I do remember the lady at the end of the table frozen with her eyebrows raised in amazement after one bite, and the guy from Parking, holding half a ball in his hand, saying, "I'm glad I don't have to drive."
Several people suggested the coffee but chose to stand and walk around. I walked toward the City Attorney, gave him a hug; then I said, with an exaggerated drunken slur in my voice, "This is the best time I have ever had at City Hall."
Everyone laughed as the staff member with the unusual first name, Mark Anthony, came in with Assistant City Attorney Spence Pacheco.
Having seen me three times in two days, Mark Anthony tried to rib me with, "I see you around here a lot."
"Get used to it, I'm going to be Mayor," I shot back. Everyone laughed again.
Showing the attorney in her, Spence grabbed her head with two hands and moaned, "Oh, the lawsuits."
Coss had to admit, as a candidate for the office himself, that there was a frightening chance that I could be Mayor, or as David put it ... I could be "the next Chief Officer for the City of Santa Fe."
I smiled thinking about my encounter with Fred Libby on the way over to City Hall that morning. He was having his picture taken in front of his and Patty's Plaza Bakery/Haagen Das. As I walked by Fred and the photographer, he asked me, "How's the campaign coming?"
I said, knowing I could get a laugh, "Hey Fred, I've been practicing my acceptance speech. You know how you gather up all the City Hall employees together... you want to hear my speech to them?"
Fred smiles and nods yes. The camera clicks a couple of times.
"OK Fred," I start, then I get a little louder, "YOU FUCKING GUYS ARE IN TROUBLE NOW!"
Fred totally cracks up and the camera fires away like an automatic weapon.

At the beginning of last year we set two major intentions across all our companies:
#1 – To rise to a level 10 energy
#2 – To create many new experiences that we could appreciate all the way
Within 30 days of setting that goal, I lost some top leadership I trusted a large account that made up more than 120 staff. I had a property manager run off with $6k and a small team run off with deposits.
The weird thing is, I can honestly say I've never been happier. I feel like the stage has now been set for us to accomplish the goals we set out with at the start of this year. The main objective is energy, not attachment to material goals or people that might cause stagnant energy or bring energy down. This doesn't mean we always have perfect energy and thoughts, everyone has their day. But it does mean that we are on the same mission of consistently gravitating towards higher energy.
What I've learned is this..
When you set energy as the objective, get ready for the ride!
A focus on higher energy cuts through reality like an axe. The evolution of circumstance around you happens very quickly to align with new energy. Many things fall away at first, which can be scary (especially to Ego), as it can feel like you are losing something in the material.
But the greatest gain is the SPACE that now allows for the things to flow in that are now aligned with this higher energy. Everything around you in the material is not really an accurate representation of your success or ability, it is a representation of your energy standards. And your ability to maintain higher energy standards, depends on your level of non-resistance to what shows up!
– Set your intention for a higher energy , level 10 life, team or planet
– Be ready to hang on through rapid change and loss as the tension between old and new energy becomes too great
– Maintain higher energy by appreciating everything that now starts flowing into your life, by not resisting the change or hanging onto the past!

Go-to visa for Indian and Chinese temporarily frozen
A popular visa that offers a path to U.S. citizenship is temporarily closed to Chinese and Indian nationals.
The pause in the visa program, which took effect August 1, is yet another crack in the outdated immigration system and evidence that there's need for more transparency, according to immigration lawyers.
At issue is the EB-1 visa. In July, the State Department announced that it would stop processing EB-1 applications from China and India until October.
The EB-1 visa is available to three categories of candidates, those with extraordinary abilities in arts, science and business; researchers and professors; and multinational business executives and managers.

Livingston defender Jason Talbot has accepted a two-match ban for his head-high tackle on Hearts winger Sam Nicholson.
The Lions skipper was only yellow-carded for his challenge on the Hearts winger in Saturday's 3-2 victory for the Jambos.
Nicholson had to be substituted due to the extent of his injuries and required several stitches in his face.
The Scottish Football Assocation's compliance officer Tony McGlennan offered Talbot a two-match ban for his offence and the 29-year-old left-back accepted it. He will now miss Livi's trip to Tynecastle on Saturday and the match at home to Falkirk on February 21.
Livingston also revealed that Talbot personally apologised to Nicholson for the tackle.

Individuals have also added bleach, handsoap, vinegar, or other common household items to their sample to interfere with the screen. To combat adulteration of samples, laboratory professionals should be aware of strange-smell or strange appearance of specimens. Ideally, the sample should be assessed by the collector within four minutes so that normal color, odor, foaming, the presence of any precipitates, and the temperature can be checked. The temperature should be between 90-100° F (32-38° C). The pH should be between 4-11. There are urine dipsticks available, such as the example shown on the right, that test for the presence of adulterants. Some laboratories may choose to use these dipsticks to test pain management urine samples.
The most important tests for adulteration are a simple urine creatinine and specific gravity. If the sample has a specific gravity of less than 1.005 or the urine creatinine is less than 20 mg/dL, adulteration of the sample should be suspected. Since it is so easy for a patient to simply replace or dilute a specimen with tap water or toilet water, a creatinine value <20 should be considered an invalid specimen. The sensitivity of a drug screen on a sample with a value <20 mg/dL is very low.

Publisher's Description▼▲
Pastor and writer Rich Wilkerson Jr. shines a spotlight on every Christians calling to reach the world, seek the lost, and save sinners with Jesus scandalous message of the gospel of grace.
The Bible calls Jesus a friend of sinners. What does that mean? In Friend of Sinners, Rich Wilkerson Jr. shows readers the profound implications of the reality that Jesus calls us friends not because of who we are or what we have done, but because of who he is. While he was on earth, he knew that people needed to belong before they would want to behave. He understood that the power within him was greater than the darkness around him, so he loved fearlessly.
By following his example, we can have the same clear conviction and compassion for the lost that he did. His gospel of scandalous grace cannot be overestimated. When we embrace the truth that we all need Jesus equally and when we trust him to bring transformation in peoples hearts, we will walk as Jesus walked, experiencing the glory of God in our own lives and in the lives of those around us.
Author Bio▼▲
Rich Wilkerson Jr. and his wife, DawnCheré, pastor VOUS Church, a meeting place of faith, creativity, and diversity in Miami, Florida. Every June, they also host thousands of young adults at the annual VOUS Conference in South Beach. He is the author of Sandcastle Kings: Meeting Jesus in a Spiritually Bankrupt World and an internationally recognized speaker who has logged over two million air miles preaching the gospel around the globe. www.vouschurch.com
"Rich Wilkerson Jr has inspired and deepened my walk with Christ in his new book Friend of Sinners. While it is easy for Christians today to be labeled as judgmental, this book shows how Jesus lived as a friend to the outcast and gives you a strategy to live your life in the same way." - Mark Batterson
"Most people know some facts and information about Jesus: carpenter, teacher, miracle worker. But it's how we know him personally that makes all the difference. Rich Wilkerson Jr's new book, Friend of Sinners will challenge you to take a step back, question your approach, and begin choosing relationship over routine religion." - Steven Furtick
"Friend of Sinners highlights a core truth this world needs to hear we must break out of the boxes of our normality and dare to go close to those we don't understand. Pastor Rich beautifully emphasizes this while encouraging us to start where people are, not where we want them to be. This book will forever change how you love others." - Lysa Terkeurst
"Rich carries the ability to seamlessly engage people with the message of Jesus, reaching the church and unchurched, both saved and sinners alike. He is a generational thinker, planner, and writer in addition to being a phenomenal pastor. Friendship with God through Christ is both a simple, yet a profoundly important foundation that is at the very core of our faith. Inspiring and thought-provoking, Friend of Sinners unpacks friendship with Jesus in a refreshing and transforming way." - Brian Houston

With natural gas production at an all-time high and natural gas prices falling, it would be prudent to consider this fossil fuel as an alternative source to traditional diesel-fueled power generation applications. When it comes to productivity, however, the power and torque generated by diesel engines far surpasses that of similar sized natural gas engines. One increasingly attractive solution that comprises the best of both worlds is dual-fuel technology, which allows one engine to run on two fuels.
In today's oil and gas industry, expensive fuel can often drive up the cost of doing business, but a record-setting natural gas boom in the United States has led to significantly lower prices. Power systems that traditionally burn diesel can now integrate dual-fuel engines to burn natural gas while maintaining performance. Additionally, most dual-fuel engines are capable of running exclusively on diesel or on a combination of diesel and natural gas, resulting in lower fuel costs. Other major natural gas producing regions, like the Middle East and northern Africa, are especially benefiting from this technology trend.
The two fuels work together to power the engine. First, the engine starts purely on diesel and as the inlet air temperature rises, natural gas is injected into the cylinders through additional intake piping. The diesel acts as an igniter to light the gas inside the combustion chamber, causing the natural gas to burn. Then, as natural gas fills the cylinder, the amount of diesel being consumed is reduced, which extends the engine's run time, curtails exhaust emissions and reduces the amount of on-site diesel necessary to get the job done.
In applications like land drilling, land production and well service, containerized mobile generator sets may be useful in regions where the natural gas supply is abundant, maybe even free-flowing, making its use extremely cost effective. Whether meeting short or long-term power demands, it's possible to use natural gas and consistently maintain traditional diesel power and transient performance.
The advantages of dual-fuel technology are pretty remarkable:
At the forefront of this trend is Caterpillar Dynamic Gas Blending (DGB) technology. Using existing gas engine hardware to allow Cat® diesel engines to burn natural gas, owners save significantly on fuel costs while maintaining diesel engine performance levels with the security of a warranty from the OEM. Full system integration provides a significant advantage compared to the current aftermarket options. Parameters such as natural gas substitution rate, fuel flexibility range (methane number), and the ability to maintain emissions compliance are uniquely considered.
The mobile/temporary power sector, in particular, can profit from this dual fuel technology as it allows the end user to utilize natural gas while automatically modulating gas substitution based on fuel quality, pressure, type and variety. An automated fuel system, with common protections and controls, achieves optimal performance through continuous monitoring and adjustment. Additionally, retesting, readjusting and re-commissioning from site to site are unnecessary, further amplifying the benefits for mobile and temporary power applications where setup time is key, up-time is "prime-time" and downtime is unacceptable.
Caterpillar offers many resources on the various DGB products across all segments, including field kits for oil and gas. Visit us online for specific power systems product details in mobile, rental and temporary applications.
We'd like to hear about your experience with dual-fuel technology, specifically in the mobile power space. Please leave your questions and comments below.

We have a priority system that will supply large quanities of hydrogen gas on demand. Do you have a generator that will run on a mixture of 66% hydrogen and 33% oxygen. Or can your engineers build one. We have a demand for several thousand generators ranging from 350 Kw to 8.3 mega watts. We would like to team up with a generator manufacture to supply us with units. Will someone please contact me at 954 229 4040 or at email@example.com
It is very amusing when today's manufacturers re-name century old technology, and even with all of their new and improved expertise the new moniker usually is incorrect. A dual-fuel system maintains two independent paths for fuels to travel. Two types of fuel are available for the engine, but only one is delivered to the engine at any given time. A bi-fuel system, on the other hand, makes use of two fuels simultaneously. A diesel engine that supplements diesel fuel with natural gas is a bi-fuel engine. I personally have a 1928 International Harvester engine that arrived from the factory with the ability to start and run only on gasoline or supplement the gasoline with kerosene and heated water injection from the engine cooling system. This is a bi-fuel engine. During WWII many river fishing boat owners would wind copper tubing around the exhaust pipes of their engines to heat kerosene which would take the place of precious gasoline after the engine reached operating temperature. These were dual fuel engines. Caterpillar manufactured G series engines that would operate on either natural gas or propane separately but not both at one time. These were dual fuel engines as were the ONAN gasoline engines with the LP or natural gas carburetor stacked on top of the gasoline carburetor. Many of a long haul trucker with diesel engines and even early motor home owners with gasoline engines were infamous for DIY or aftermarket systems to supliment the primary fuel with untaxed LP. These were bi-fuel engines. Today's dual fuel or bi-fuel engine may be computer controlled with anti-knock, oxygen sensors and communcations with the engine ECU but a new idea? "Na" not this time.
Hello Richard! The best thing to do is to work with and funnel your specific requests through your local CAT dealer (again you can use the following link to access the dealer locator tool http://www.cat.com/en_US/support/dealer-locator.html).
I'm sure you've reviewed www.cat.com, but we currently only offer products utizling diesel, natural gas, and in some cases propane. Thanks for your interest.
Progen904, I appreciate the history of innovation and inventive nature that you point out in people. I think the point to take is that the world is changing faster than it ever has, particurlarly with respect to the energy sector--politically, financially, availability, infrastructure--you name it. The dual fuel vs. bi-fuel term is definitely debatable, but in context of the DGB product, the idea of a system that automatially controls the blending of natural gas and diesel w/o the need for adjustment or recalibration, is attractive and not available in all solutions. Therefore, to take advantage of a product that can utilize a fuel w/a reduced price tag, but still utilize a tried and true fuel such as diesel, but in an innovative, dependable way, follows a trend. It allows one the ability to change and adjust along with the sector.
Dear Sir,
We intend installation of 2 units of 2 MW Duel Fuel generating sets. The duel fuel is CNG and Diesel. What is the minimum CNG and Diesel storagecapacity / unit for 12 hours daily running.
What is the range of generating voltage ( 400V, 3.3kV, 6.6kV) fuel consumption per KWH
Please mail me technical details and your contact in India particularly Delhi ( India)
Hi Madan. If you're referring to the XQ2000 DGB product, the 3516B engine with DGB has no on-board capacity for CNG. There is an on board 1250gal day tank for housing diesel fuel. As for generating voltage, the unit is configured for 50 Hz, 400V only. Other voltages can be achieved of course with a transformer.
There are technical data sheets available at your local CAT dealer. You can try the following link http://www.cat.com/en_US/support/dealer-locator.html to access the dealer locator tool. It looks like there are several dealers in the Delhi area. Thanks for your inquiry!
Very good article Kenton. Happy to discover it. Thanks for the information.

The UFC Nations Finale event finally has two Ultimate fighter winners, an Ultimate Fighter Coach who won; and a ending result to two ranked Middleweights in the main event. The card itself started off slow in the prelims but picked up as the fights went on. The Guardian Liberty voice has all the coverage of all 13 events, scroll below to see all the results.
Tim Kennedy defeats Michael Bisping – Unanimous Decision
Tim Kennedy did exactly what was predicted in the Guardian Liberty Voice preview of the Bisping vs Kennedy main event. The first, third, and fifth rounds; Kennedy found a way to get Bisping down to the mat. In two of those rounds the UFC middleweight passed into dominant positions such as full mount, such positions Bisping isn't accustomed to giving up. While landing the takedowns, Kennedy also managed to land heavy shots throughout the whole fight, hurting Bisping numerous times. Bisping was coming off a year long layoff with an injury. As much as fighters don't like to talk about ring rust, Bisping definitely looked the part. The once highly ranked UFC middleweight contender looked quite tentative in his strikes, and his usual strong take down defense was easily penetrable by Kennedy. With two losses in his last three fights, Bisping may look to get back into the octagon as soon as he can to knock off the rust that lost him this fight tonight.
Patrick Cote defeats Kyle Noke – Unanimous Decision
The UFC coaches finally squared off after a long season on TUF Nations Canada vs. Australia. With Canadians commanding the four finalist positions, Kyle Noke was looking to bring back home a victory for himself and the Aussie team. Both landed their own significant strikes throughout the fight, Cote was able to pull off rounds with his take downs. Cote was the aggressor the whole fight and did exactly what he needed to do to get by Kyle Noke with the decision victory.
Elias Theodorou defeats Sheldon Westcott – TKO (Strikes) 4:41 of 2nd Round
Sheldon Westcott came out fast and furious, literally, before he even entered the cage. Shot out of a cannon Westcott pressed the action in the first round but seemed to run out of gas in the 2nd. Theodorou pounced on his gassed opponent, slamming him to the canvas numerous times and finally finishing Westcott off with a flurry of punches in the 2nd round. The TKO victory awarded Elias Theodorou the TUF Nations middleweight UFC six figure contract.
Chad Laprise defeats Olivier Aubin-Mercier – Unanimous Decision
This fight was pretty simple to predict from the get go. If Chad Laprise was able to defend Mercier's take downs and keep this fight standing, he would win the fight; and that's exactly what he did. Mercier was able to get Laprise to the ground a few times but was not able to work his submission game. Laprise easily out struck Mercier on the feet and coasted on to a decision victory; winning the welterweight six figure contract with the organization after making it through the TUF Nations season to the finale.
Dustin Poirier defeats Akira Corassani – TKO (Strikes) 42 seconds into the 2nd Round
Arguably the most exciting fight of the main card, Corassani and Poirier exchanged at the center of the cage, with Corassani winning the early exchanges. Mid way through the first round the heavy handed Corassani caught Poirier and had Dustin stumbling through the rest of the round. Poirier came out firing in the second and rocked Akira within seconds, the rest of the round consisted of Poirier pounding him out until the ref finally bestowed mercy upon Corassani.
KJ Noons defeats Sam Stout – KO (Punch) 30 seconds into 1st round
Boy that was brutal, KJ Noons landed the right hand heard around the world on Sam Stout's chin. After a shortened feel out period KJ decided it was long enough and boom came the dynamite. Sam Stout didn't even have a chance, Noons pounced him and landed two punches while Stout was out, and the ref jumped in to stop it. Sout was so hurt he had no clue he was putting the ref into a guillotine choke as he was pulling Noons off of him.
Sarah Kaufman defeats Leslie Smith – Unanimous Decision
A rematch from years before, Leslie Smith had eight days to prepare for a rematch she's been waiting for; too bad Kaufman was ready to go as well. Every punch, kick, and combination the UFC newcomer threw at Kaufman, she answered; and more. Kaufman used superior striking and precise angles to dismantle Leslie Smith to lead her to victory. The only women's fight was arguably one of the more entertaining fights on the card. Sarah Kaufman landed the 3rd most significant strikes ever landed by a fighter with 202.
Ryan Jimmo defeats Sean O'Connell – KO (Punch) 4:27 of 1st Round
This fight was odd from the start, after their bizarre weigh in to today; nothing came as expected except for the outcome. Sean O'Connell started off landing his shots and pressing Jimmo against the cage at will, and had Jimmo somewhat staggered towards the end of the first round. Jimmo fought back in dramatic fashion and caught O'Connell with a devastating right hand, sending him to the canvas; leaving the ref to step in before anymore damage was done.
George Roop defeats Dustin Kimura – Unanimous Decision
With an arsenal of strikes and wrestling, Roop controlled the fight throughout the contest. Roop used his top control game to control Kimura on the mat and did not allow Kimura to get off much offense. Kimura's submission attempts fell short, and Roop was never in arms way of losing this fight.
Mark Bocek defeats Mike de la Torre – Split Decision
Torre surprised everyone by his gamer mentality. This fight was supposed to be Bocek versus Evan Dunham, but Torre showed he was no slouch, giving Bocek everything he could ask for and more. Bocek had issues getting the young man to the mat and controlling positions when he did. Torre used a nice combination of upper cuts and kicks to batter and bloody Bocek. When it came down to the decision though, the judges thought Bocek landed the more significant punches and awarded him for his few take downs to win the split decision. Only one can hope Mike de la Torre gets another shot in the UFC.
Nordine Taleb defeats Vik Grujic – Unanimous Decision
This fight was basic to its core, and one of the least exciting of the card. Nordine Taleb used constant pressure and wrestling to continuously take down Grujic. Every round was the same story as Grujic never had an answer for Taleb's strong wrestling game.
Richard Walsh defeats Chris Indich – Unanimous Decision
Walsh made a nice UFC impression in his first go round. The battle of the beards turned into a survival match for Indich has Walsh constantly rag dolled him around the ring. Walsh hurt his foe with ground and standing strikes, and could have finished Indich with ease if he didn't constantly wrap up after landing his shots. Either way his strong debut may have paved the way for a few more fights in the UFC.
Mitch Gagnon defeats Tim Gorman – Unanimous Deicision
To kick off the card these two exchanged blows for the first time in an octagon ring. Gagnon was the more active fighter, landing more of the significant strikes while landing two of his three take down attempts. Gagnon used some nice ground and pound to seal the deal to win the first fight on the UFC TUF Nations card.
Dustin Poirier and Akira Corassani earned Fight of the Night honors, each earning $50,000 a piece. Both KJ Noons and Ryan Jimmo also received Performance of the Night bonuses as well for their respective knockouts, each receiving $50,000. For it being the first time that the UFC has been in Quebec City, Canada; the events lived up to the billing. Fight fans wanting more action are in for a treat, as they will be heading to Orlando, Florida on Saturday. Travis Browne will be taking on Fabricio Werdum for a possible number one contender-ship spot in the heavyweight division. Stay tuned in at the Guardian Liberty Voice, There is more MMA and UFC action yet to come this weekend.

So, today I had two thoughts on my mind: How does music heal? and How does music allow one to express themselves? Answer: There is no exact answer! Music speaks the words sometimes you don't even want to say.
I know for me, it has been a big factor in my healing process, and dealing with my Anxiety Disorder. Whenever I feel a panic attack, or anxiety attack coming on, I just pop in my ear buds and my stress levels instantly go down. That's why the majority of the time, you will see me with at least one ear bud in because I'm constantly trying to heal and get better. I know that sounds bad, but the way I see it is because I listen to music every day to and from class, it gives me the energy I need to get through my classes.
My favorite kind of music to listen to is ANY Broadway Cast Recording, Disney, and the majority of music from Glee. It's this music that gives me the energy that gets me through each day. My favorite Broadway Cast Recordings to listen to are the Newsies Cast Recording and the Wicked Cast Recording. I love Newsies, don't get me wrong…but Wicked will ALWAYS be my favorite musical; I've seen it three times and my closest is filled with SO much Wicked merchandise, it's crazy!
The reason why I have such a love for the Wicked Cast Recording is because it was the very first Broadway musical I saw professionally. I saw it three years ago for my Senior Year Spring Break band trip to New York. First thing I felt when I stepped on the pavement in Times Square: I'm in heaven. The first thing I felt when I walked into the Gershwin Theatre, and the first beginning notes of Wicked played: I'm finally home. The moment I heard Teal Wicks sing "Defying Gravity", I knew right then and there that Elphaba was what I wanted to do for a career. I want to be painted green for eight shows a week, and being hoisted into the air. Wicked is magic in real life. I love everything about the show, but it's the music that really speaks to me.
Whenever I'm feeling a bit down, the musicians I listen to are the following: Rachel Potter, Anna Clendening, Scott Alan, Lily Nelsen, Celtic Woman and Alex Sharpe. These are the musicians that have lyrics that really speak to me on a personal level. It's these artists that have helped me heal whenever I've felt like I didn't get the courage to do something, or I wanted to give up on my dreams. It almost felt like whenever I listened to their music, they are personally telling me "Don't give up! You CAN do this!"
Anna Clendening is the first musician I can relate to on personal level. When I watched her perform on America's Got Talent, and heard her story, I was touched. I thought to myself, "Here is a girl, who, despite the struggles she's going through is able to make AMAZING music, and make people happy. Now, her music is the go to thing I listen to if I'm ever feeling sad. Her music has changed my train of thinking forever; She seriously is a guardian angel living on Earth.
I've been a fan of Rachel Potter ever since she was in Evita, Wicked, Spring Awakening and the Addams Family. I was instantly won over by her audition on the X Factor. Since then, I've been a loyal Potterazzi. The song "Live the Dream" is one of my life anthems because I want to be on Broadway, and I can't let anything get to me to stop me from achieving my dreams. I sing that song at the top of my lungs like a dork and I do not care.
Scott Alan's music has literally saved my life. I have all of his albums in my iTunes library, and I can honestly say whenever I listen to his music I am instantly motivated to push through and conquer any difficulty. Especially his song "The Distance You Have Come" sung by another one of my favorite artists, who also happens to be one of the reasons why I'm auditioning for AMDA in NYC, Natalie Weiss. The message of the song is so inspiring: Just because you've gone through difficulties, doesn't mean you should give up. Look at how far you've come! Your dreams can happen! I told him that he was the reason why I started writing my own music, he told me that I should start creating my own masterpieces AND called me Ms. Composer! That gave me the validation I needed to pursue writing my music.
Celtic Woman and Alex Sharpe go hand in hand for me. Alex Sharpe is a former member of Celtic Woman, and she always has been my favorite. Her versions of "True Colors" and "You'll Be In My Heart" brought me to tears. Her voice is so angelic and beautiful, every time she sings I get goosebumps. Her album Be Still My Soul is probably my favorite album to listen to whenever I need time to meditate. It absolutely stunning, and it makes me smile every single time. One day, I hope I can meet Alex, and thank her in person for how much she has helped me face my fears, and take my challenges head on.
On March 15th, 2014 I finally got to see Celtic Woman perform live for the first time. I waited four years to see them; I've been a fan of theirs since I was 13 years old. Their music gives me a sense of belonging in this world, and safety. After the concert, my best friend and I were about to leave when the producer came to find us after the show. She introduce herself, and she brought us back stage to meet them! Their girls are my inspiration, and I finally got to meet them! This was a dream seven years in the making! All four of the girls were incredibly sweet. Máiréad Nesbitt, the fiddle player is Tinkerbell in real life! She's so tiny and adorable! Mairéad Carlin is the newest member, and she was super sweet. Meeting Susan McFadden was amazing because she is one of my favorite Elle Woods in the history of Legally Blonde: The Musical. Hearing "Hi Miranda, lovely to meet you." in that adorable Irish accent made me have a fangirl overload! Getting a hug from Lisa Lambe was probably one of the best things in the world! Hearing her say my name, and rush over to me to give me a hug felt like a dream. She then tells me, "Thank you so much for the lovely things you've written to us." WHAT?! I didn't think they actually ready them! That night will forever be one of my favorite night of my life.
And my friend who inspired me to start this blog, Lily Nelsen. She's an amazing musician, and she's 17 years old! She may be younger than me, but she inspires me on a daily basis to keep going. I can't wait to meet her because she is so incredibly sweet. I Skyped with her one time, and she is adorable! She's one of the nicest people out there. Her music is so amazing. Her lyrics tell a story, and the message of her songs is beautiful. I'm so blessed to call her a friend, and a role model.
Music has many ways of helping people. For me, it course through my veins: I play an instrument, and I sing. I love expressing my self through musical theatre. Music helping me heal whenever I have an Anxiety/Panic attack. If I could pick music as my religion, I would. Because, music is the one constant thing in my life that has made me smile no matter what.

Newly reappointed CEO Kent Rockwell made the announcement June 29, and while absent specific targets, Mr. Rockwell's statement indicated a greater emphasis on profitability and cash flows as an overarching focus. In addition to an immediate reduction in headcount and consulting projects, an evaluation of the global operation is ongoing and should result in further cost reductions, with a goal of positive earnings and cash flow in 2019. Presently, our model doesn't achieve positive earnings until Q4 of 2019. We believe management's goals are likely more ambitious and exceed our timeline by at least one quarter."

(by elaborating on the presumed)
Nowadays, instead of having less monetising, there is more and more as the time goes by. One thing for certain. In the growing drive for more profits, grasping any opportunity presented out of every minute and remote activity engaged by human individuals, a widespread mentality, a mode of thinking that governments foremost promote, in every sector run by states, it is not hard to think that governments envying the so-called presumed successes of the private sector, to enter itself into competition and assume structures no different from the profiteering corporations becoming USA or UK Government plc, with all its subsidiary organisations dragged along member states, councils, hospitals, educational establishments.
And how can it not be, as the same kind of individuals that run profiteering corporations are sought after to run government and state-owned institutions.The profiteering mentality is transferred as a whole in state institutions. And citizens become clients.
And as in corporations the big rewards go to the board members and the rest of the revenue generated (un-)equally allocated to the rest of USA, UK Gov plc shareholders. The public servants, senators, MPs, public employees, state-liaised contractors and on and on..
Well, it is allegedly supposed to be that all US, British or any other country's citizens, are the shareholders. Well no, they are no shareholders, they are the clients.
For individuality to thrive in its utmost expression, it requires to be totally free, especially from monetisation concerns.
Today every innovation, every individual creative process has to pass through a monetisation sieve. What filters out from this monetisation sieve is the singularity of profit. Financial gain. In its course every individual creative act is distorted, twisted, warped to fit through the monetisation sieve.
Seeking the unbiased approval of other individuals pure and unadulterated out of what each individual has to offer for the betterment of the life of other individuals is the only sufficient and necessary condition.

Story three of three....
The Bitmap Brothers
Where Are They Now?For those of us who grew up with PC, Amiga and ST gaming, the Bitmaps are one of those development teams (along with Gremlin, Psygnosis and Team 17) that are generally most remembered. Unfortunately Bitmap Brothers closed their offie in 2004. When asked 'what happened?', Mike Montgomery (Bitmap Bros MD) explained to Bit-Tech that such a creative company found it harder and harder to secure investment from distributors in order to compete with the current crop of big budget license games.
MM: I closed the company down...Mainly because I couldn't get any deals for original IP. It's a shame, but if you can't get money then you can't go any further. I've spent most of my money on developing ideas – I've got a whole drawer-full of designs, and some of them are hundreds of pages long – you go to a publisher with them, they read them and you do a bit more work and all of a sudden you've spent £300,000, and then you find there's no deal.
It seems the industry has changed to such an extent that multi-million budgets are now required for effective marketing and development for mainstream titles, meaning publishers are more reluctant to gamble on an original idea (IP).
All is not lost however because The Bitmaps are back. Aside from running Tower Studios (along with Jon Hare of Sensible Software)working on video capture work, MM has reignited the flame and released both Speedball 2 and Z on iOS and Speedball 2 for android, which is great news for us retro fans.
The downscaled economy of game development for mobile devices has allowed smaller developers to at last get their games 'out there' with lesser cost. Hopefully this will mean an indication of things to come with releases of other classic titles (Chaos Engine on my phone?!- yes please!), keeping the spirit of 16bit era gaming alive, as well as giving us 'old skool' gamers plenty to reminisce about.
Mike is now a director of Lightning Fish, making motion-controlled games. We met Mike at the recent Revival event and he signed our Speedball 2 packaging!

A man bought 12 flowers. 11 real and 1
fake. He said, "I will love
you until the last flower
dies." A girl asked a boy if she was pretty, he said "No".
She asked him if he
wanted to be with her
forever, he said "No".
Then she asked him if he
would cry if she walked away, he said "No". She
had heard enough; she
needed to leave.
As she walked away he
grabbed her arm and told
her to stay. He said "You're not pretty, you're
beautiful. I don`t want to
be with you forever, I
need to be with you
forever. And I wouldn't
cry if you walked away, I would die." Boy: Can I take a photo? Girl: Why?
Boy: I just want to show
my children how their
mom looked when she
was younger. There was a girl named Becca and a boy named
Joe. Becca was in a
burning house. None of
the firefighters could get
in the house because the
fire was too big. Joe dressed in one of the fire
suits and got into the
house. When he got up
the stairs, the steps fell
off behind him. When he
got into her room he sealed the door up behind
him. He held her tight,
kissed her, huged her,
then said that he loved
her. She asked what was
wrong, and he said that he was going to die. Her
eyes widened as she
began to cry. He picked
her up and jumped out of
the four story house. He
landed on his back with her on top of him. He died
to save her life. There was girl who loved a boy so much she said to
the boy, "If I told you that
I liked you, would you
take it as a joke?"
The boy said, "Yes I
would." She asked, "Why?"
The boy replied, "Because
I know you don't like me,
I know you love me!" A girl and guy were speeding over 100 mph
on a motorcycle.
Girl: Slow down. I'm
Guy: No this is fun.
Girl: No its not. Please, it's too scary!
Guy: Then tell me you
love me.
Girl: Fine, I love you. Slow
down! Guy: Now give me
a big hug. (Girl hugs him) Guy: Can you take my
helmet off and put it on?
It's bugging me.
In the paper the next day:
A motorcycle had crashed
into a building because of brake failure. Two people
were on the motorcycle,
but only one survived.
The truth was that
halfway down the road,
the guy realized that his brakes broke, but he
didn't want to let the girl
know. Instead, he had
her say she loved him,
felt her hug one last time,
then had her wear his helmet so she would live
even though it meant he
would die. Me and my boyfriend were out to dinner and
there was an older couple
sitting near us.
All of a sudden I heard the
older man say
"Remember when we were like that?" I looked
at my boyfriend and we
laughed and giggled.
When I turned back
around, my boyfriend had
a ring in his hand, and said "I can't wait until
we're like that!" Once a guy said to a girl: "Love is like a rainbow,
it's colourful and makes
people smile.
Love is like an ocean, it's
deep and beautiful.
Love is like the sun, it shines and it's warm.
Love is like rain, it's calm
and refreshing.
Will you let me show you
that love?"
The girl shook her head while smiling: "No"
The guy looked down
sadly and then he heard
her saying these words:
"I want you to show me
YOUR love…" One day, a lover was angry with his girlfriend
and tried to stab her with
a knife. He accidentally
cut his own finger badly
with the knife, started
bleeding, and knelt down in pain. His girlfriend bent
down and bandaged up
his finger and tended to
him. There was a blind girl who was filled with
animosity and despised
the world. She didn't
have many friends, just a
boyfriend who loved her
deeply, like no one else. She always used to say
that she'd marry him if
she could see him.
Suddenly, one day
someone donated her a
pair of eyes. And that's when she
finally saw her boyfriend.
She was astonished to
see that her boyfriend
was blind. He told her,
"You can see me now, can we get married?"
She replied, "And do
what? We'd never be
happy. I have my eye
sight now, but you're still
blind. It won't work out, I'm sorry."
With a tear in his eye and
a smile on his face, he
meekly said, "I
understand. I just want
you to always be happy. Take care of yourself, and
my eyes." Boy: I would like you to do something important
for me.
Girl: Yes?
Boy: When you get home
today, thank your mom
for me. Girl: Sure, but why?
Boy: Thank her because
she gave birth to an angel
who was put into my life
and one day whom I
hope will become my wife.
A sweet love stories

All four The Voice Kids grand finalists are good. In fact, they are more than good – already assured of places in the Philippine entertainment sun.
In Saturday's performances – Juan Karlos Labajo, Lyca Gairanod, Darlene Vibares and Darren Espanto each sang a power ballad and an upbeat number.
(Click link to watch Darren's powerful rendition of Ngayon)
Lyca sang Narito Ako by Regine Velasquez. All coaches were impressed by her performance. In the upbeat round, she sang Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe.
Lyca Gairanod
Lea Salonga said that whenever she'd talk to the kids in English, Lyca would say she could not understand, but proved she can also do English songs, after all.

Her coach, Sarah Geronimo, said "Kahit anong gawin mo, mamahalin at mamahalin ka namin, kasi talagang (Whatever you do, we will always love you, as certainly) you have the makings of a superstar."
Juan Karlos Labajo
Juan Karlos did Yesterday by The Beatles, which had him cry towards the end and was not able to answer host Luis Manzano's question why he cried, but just pointed up as gesture for the reason of his emotion was his mother who died only last November.

JK did Runaway Baby by Bruno Mars in the upbeat round, earning accolades from his Coach Bamboo that he made the song his own. His charm, singing talent and strong stage presence assure him of a career in singing and also acting being a total package.
Darlene Vibares
Darlene started out of sync performing Sharon Cuneta's Sana'y Wala Nang Wakas but able to catch up and still gave a powerful rendition of the popular love song. Her coach, Lea, said it happens to all performers but praised her for making it through.

Darlene did Louder by Charice and also got remarks from Lea that the international singer must be very proud of the kid's performance.
Darren Espanto
It's Darren that brought the house down and had all three coaches giving him standing ovation, not just her coach, Sarah, after his performance of Ngayon by Basil Valdez.
Shedding tears after the prolonged high-note last word of the song, he told host Alex Gonzaga that he was just emotional, the reason why he cried.
Lea commented, "Sa lahat ng iniidolo ngayon ni Darren, ito ay isang babala sa inyo, ilalampaso kayo ng batang ito balang araw (To all those that Darren presently idolizes, this is a warning, this kid will sweep you away someday)."
Get to know Darren again thru his slam book
Coach Sarah remarked: "Ngayon ay pinatunayan mo na ikaw ang karapat-dapat na tanghaling grand champion ng The Voice Kids (Now [title of his song in English] you have proven that you deserve to be proclaimed as the grand champion of The Voice Kids)."
Darren performed Somebody To Love by Justin Bieber for the upbeat round.
Sarah said Darren is very much ripe, ready for superstardom and there's nothing to coach him on anymore, as every forte is his forte.
(Click link to watch Darren's upbeat number)
She added that Darren is a mixture of Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano (known for his singing-dancing skills) and Power Balladeer Martin Nievera.
