Deal valued at $4.3 billion.
3M and Nanosys have partnered up to bring Quantum Dot Enhancement Film (QDEF) to commercial displays.
Sharp is set to launch a device which it believes sits between smartphones and netbooks - a 5" touchscreen unit running Ubuntu 9.04.
Monitor manufacturers are starting to listen to customers - we want some much-needed choice in the 22-inch market. The HP LP2275W is another 22-incher equipped with Samsung's latest S-PVA panel technology - is this the monitor we've dearly been waiting for?
Monitor manufacturer Collins has taken the plunge and launched a display range based on the royalty-free Mini DisplayPort specification from Apple.
We've been looking for the perfect 22-inch monitor for quite some time now, but we haven't had much luck so far. Today we look at NEC's MultiSync P221W, which features a brand new 22-inch S-PVA panel with a 10-bit look-up table - could these ingredients make this the perfect 22-incher?
Full HD monitors are becoming increasingly commonplace these days in both 22in and 24in panel sizes. We've been impressed by the 22in models we've seen so far, but we haven't looked at a 24-incher until today. Read on to find out how BenQ's E2400HD shapes up.
Dell has joined the ever-increasing number of monitor manufacturers selling 22-inch full HD monitors. We have a look at the S2209W, which is priced ideally for gamers and discerning home users on a budget.
Sharp and Hitachi, who make the LCD screens for the Nintendo DS, have been accused of price fixing following office raids in Japan.

Louise Zeng, 16, of Missouri City is one of 10 youths traveling to Washington, D.C., for one week and onward to Colombia for three weeks as part of Partners of the Americas' U.S. Youth Ambassadors (YA) program, taking place in July.
The 10 youths, accompanied by an adult mentor, will spend the three weeks abroad engaging with local government and civic organizations, building relationships with host families and other youths, visiting schools, and participating in skills-based workshops that empower them to mobilize their communities toward positive change.
Upon returning to the United States, youths apply what they learned throughout the exchange to designing and implementing a service project that benefits their communities.
This year's U.S. YA competition was open to youths between the ages of 15 and 17 in Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Nebraska, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, Wyoming, Tennessee, Texas and Washington, D.C. Participants were selected through a competitive merit and need-based process, including school records, displayed leadership qualities, and demonstrated interest in improving their local community.
Zeng is an incoming junior in the Math and Science Academy at John Foster Dulles High School. She found out about the program through an email from Partners of the Americas.
"This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to share my love for Texas and the United States, experience life and culture in Latin America first-hand, and grow in my leadership skills is a dream come true for me," she said. "I'm so excited to cultivate friendships from across the globe, especially with other teenagers who are as passionate as I am about helping others, and I'm even more excited to take what I learn and apply it so I can better serve my community."
The YA program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and is implemented by Partners of the Americas. Through the program, Partners of the Americas aims to strengthen mutual understanding, awareness, and cooperation between the U.S. and Colombia by promoting and developing interaction between these two countries. The youths will realize their potential to promote positive changes in their own communities both now and in the future.
Above all, the program is meant to be an educational experience. Partners of the Americas intends to present a more complete image of Colombia than international media typically depicts in order to inform a demographic that will possibly influence future relations between the two countries.
The mission of Partners of the Americas is to connect people and organizations across borders to serve and to change lives through lasting partnerships. The partnerships create opportunity, foster understanding, and solve real-life problems.
Inspired by President Kennedy and founded in 1964 under the Alliance for Progress, Partners is a nonprofit, non-partisan organization with international offices in Washington, DC. Learn more at www.partners.net or via Twitter @partnersamerica.
At Dulles High School, Zeng is the founder of Miracle Club, a club dedicated to raising funds and awareness for hospitalized children.
This spring, she led members in fundraising and planning Vikingthon, a joyful, hope-bringing dance marathon where students danced in honor and support of the kids, ultimately raising over $2,346 for Texas Children's Hospital.
She also serves as event chair in Girl Up Houston, and has helped organize a benefit concert, a walk for girls' education, a feminine product drive, a clothing drive, and more, raising over $10,000 total. Zeng enjoys learning all she can about business in DECA, creating innovative solutions to global issues in Future Problem Solving, and competing internationally in both.
In addition, she loves to spend time volunteering with little kids, and has served in her church's children's program both as an AWANA leader and as the kindergarten director.

Many of you probably know about this already, but Hawaiian residents had a scary morning last Saturday. My husband and I live in Hawaii. Saturday morning, when I was about to leave the apartment to go to a training session in downtown Honolulu, my husband's and my iPhones started beeping. We sometimes get alerts about flash flooding on our phones. I thought at first "It is not raining now. Why am I getting flash flood warning?" Then we both looked at our phones. It was a scary moment. The warning was not about flash flooding. It was saying,
When I saw the sentence "This is NOT a drill," I got chicken skin (meaning scared in Hawaiian English).
Some neighbors were yelling outside asking their family members to go inside their house. My husband went to check with our neighbors. We did not know what to do in this emergency moment. My husband and I sealed the house and went to the bathroom which seemed to be the safest place in our apartment. I posted on Facebook, and some of my friends in Hawaii responded. They also didn't know what to do. I checked Twitter and breaking news online, but no information. But luckily, my husband was calm and he told me later I was calm, too.
But I still think even 5 days after this false alert. What if I were driving on the freeway at the time the alert had gone off. What if I was in a store or somewhere. Some people abandoned their cars on the freeway and started running to look for a shelter. Some businesses kicked customers out and turned down people who wanted to get inside. In cases of emergency, we sometimes can't think clearly or do not know exactly what to do. This is a problem, especially for foreigners.
If you are in the US or an English speaking country and you speak English as a second language, an event like this may freak you out even more than other people because of the language barrier. When 9/11 happened in 2001, I did not speak English well. That time I just came from Japan and started going to a community college in California (Hey, I was admitted because I passed TOEFL test). I did not know why Americans were panicking because I did not understand what they were saying. That time, there were no smartphones. I had very limited access to the internet, and had no TV. I finally found out about 9/11 a couple of days later when a Japanese friend told me what happened in Japanese. I got scared because I had no idea what was going on. I noticed that not being able to communicate in English can be hazardous in the United States. Nowadays, you can get information on smartphones and online, but still if you need to evacuate or ask for help, you need to understand what other people say and need to say what you want to say very clearly and quickly. Practice some situational conversations at home by yourself so that you will be able to communicate quickly in an emergency event. This is my advice for English learners in an English speaking country.
I would also add…
- Keep your passport and green card in a safe but accessible place.
- Know how to contact your local embassy.
The NSC's site shows a list of things you can do to be further prepared for an emergency.
Here is an interesting article on learnjapanesenews.com about how Japanese and Hawaiian react differently towards the inbounding missile.

Our world is not perfect as well as people who surround us. Many people do have problems at work. Sometimes it is really hard to overcome the situation. It is much harder to do when you have no chance to quit and actually when you just do not want to leave the position. It may happen that you like your job but not people you are working with. Then every single day would be stressful and you would have to cope with it somehow. If the job is significant to you then the only possible way to solve the problem is try to compromise. Otherwise you would fail.

The Danger of Becoming Adult
Do not get me wrong, I like to be adult as know there is a great amount of possibilities in front of me and the chance to make all my dreams come true. I enjoy making decisions of my own, feeling free, earning money and traveling without providing a detailed report of my adventures. I am just afraid to be adult in a negative sense.
The adult woman I do not want to turn into is always reasonable and logical; she can not perform any spontaneous action, like walking bare feet along the main street of the city or leaving for some exotic country to become diving instructor. She do not like when her neighbors listen to too loud music and call the police to calm them down instead of joining the party. She always counts money and saves them for something essential, like a new flat or car, instead of spending a part of them on some dress she wanted to buy on an impulse. She tries to keep even love under her control as she chooses her partner according to the matter of convenience, not feelings.
The Strangest Places to Live in
Due to the process of globalization which gains an incredible speed all over the world traveling to different, even the remotest places of the world has become a question of no difficulty. What can be easier than arrive in another country, book a hotel room and live there for as long as you like. However, some hotel keepers find it boring and offer us some extraordinary kinds of accommodation. In search of adventures and new emotions people agree to live in the strangest places some of them can hardly be called convenient.
Food Is a Right, not Privilege
The aggressiveness of the modern world, terrorism and the threat of nuclear wars have invoked the protest of the society which is expressed in different kinds of social movements. Food Not Bombs, for example, is a world wide organization which protests against militarism, poverty and hunger. The main idea of this social movement is that the governments should review their priorities and spend more money on food for those who are in need, rather than on wars and arms race.
Food Not Bombs presents independent groups of activists whose aim is to feed all hungry people. They provide mostly vegetarian or vegan food for free. The choice of vegan food is explained by the fact that it is useful for health, and besides, they say that if people use all territory occupied by meat producing industry for growing fructiferous plants the problem of hunger in the world will be solved.
IFAW Seal Rescue
The seal hunting in Canada constitutes a real danger to the living of the local seal population as it is reported today. But that is not the single threat to the well-being of these animals. The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) starts the campaign to save the seals worldwide. The efforts of the activists find the support in a wide number of countries including Canada, Russia and Namibia. The citizens of these countries offer their help no matter if they are scientists, officials or just the people who care about the animals.
Higher education in different countries.
Higher education is the highest priority of any civilized person. Why? In the modern world the fact one has higher education means his belonging to the best layer of human society. Unlike the primary and secondary education, higher education even in the developed countries isn't common. In the most developed countries half of population has higher education, but if we take the developing counties of Africa, the things differ.
To enter an African university, it is necessary to get the certificate called SSCE. Exams are carried out by the African examination councils. For obtaining this certificate it is necessary to pass the following exams: exact sciences, English, technical and professional subjects. After these examinations it is possible to enter a university, a technical secondary institute or a teacher training college. In African countries there have always been great difficulties with any education, to say nothing of the higher one. Access to higher education remains limited, especially for country people. Though, distance education is very popular there: it's a common practice to send students abroad to study.

Various Standarts of Beauty
The most surprising image of a beautiful person was probably in the culture of the ancient Maya tribes. Being the dedicated sun worshipers they were eager to resemble their god. The flat and round face with the nose which is not protruded forward was the most desirable one. These "perfect" face features were the ones that everyone wanted to have. The offspings of Maya still have the batter noses. To reach this effect the scull of a baby was fixed in a special pieces of wood. The flexible bones of a baby were deformed in the way which made his head reminding the disc of the sun. The sign of the feminine beauty was the squinting. When a baby girl was born her parents hang the colored balls above her bed and the girl was growing cross-eyed for sure. Another fashionable trick was to grind the teeth down and cover the remains with the ruby or emerald powder. The adult women covered their body with a sticky smelly red butter. Wearing that strange greasy film on their bodies they were considered to be elegant. They also painted their faces.

My Contributions to the Project
I modelled & unwrapped assets: three Barrels (one with a tap, two without), a crate, a chest.
To begin, I scoured the web and found some pleasing reference images to base my models from.
Then, I made a rough first pass at modelling the assets, sometimes a second pass.
To finish, I made the final models and UV unwrapped them to be textured.
Researched and implemented vertex painting for blood splatters/pools.
I feel because I was limited in the variety and quantity of tasks assigned to me, my contribution to the project was also limited (crucial but limited). This lack of involvement resulted in me being isolated from important events for the team as a whole and mostly being concerned with the immediate issues of the tasks I was working on at the time. Team members were poor with the communication aspect of the project and rarely kept the rest of the team updated with their progress and expectations of other team members. For example, some members, were working quite solo, and would upload their finished assets without any communication to the team throughout their work, or even after they had finished. On the other spectrum, if a team member (sometimes myself), would not attend class, they did not adequately question what it was they needed to be doing, and in turn, were not up to date with the teams progress. Towards the end, the biggest issue with the lack of communicate was there were times when tasks could not be completed efficiently because multiple people required the master-file. However, a schedule was established, in order for everyone to make arrangements to be available to work on the master-file on their given days. This played a huge role in the success of the completion of the assessment in the closing weeks.
I feel like my team as a whole were appreciative of my contributions. Initially, when I was absent at the start, they were fed up with me, understandably. However, as the semester progressed and I began to contribute more, they were very supportive. There was times when I would submit things a few days late, and they expressed to me their concerns, and the importance of dead lines, and together we were able to establish better expectations of one another, so that this didn't happen again, and everyone felt like they were on the same page.
I feel as though I was not given a long list of tasks to contribute to the group assignment. I understand that this was because I was absent in the first planning week. However, while the list was not long, I still felt as though my tasks were time consuming, and involved extensive research and skill building on my part. A large majority of the time spent on the modelling section of this assessment was used getting myself acquainted with the programme and its functions. While modelling itself did take some time, there were many many hours behind the scenes that took place, including tutorials and meetings with my lecturers that were essential for a successful outcome.
It was overwhelming to start, when I realised that there was large portions of the work that I did not yet feel adequate to complete. It was crucial for me to master these areas before I could begin my work, and while that made me feel extremely anxious, I pushed through, and felt that my hard work paid off.
Plans & Pitches
How effective was the plan as a support tool and guide?
I was absent during the planning process. We did not refer back to the plan as a team since it's creation. It was not formatted in a visually pleasing chart but a dull to-do style list. I believe that the plan was a failure as a support tool/guide. The team Trello board was used much more and was more visually pleasing and easy to modify than the plan. Although my contribution did look minimal when displayed like that even when many hours of work had been put towards the tasks.
How much the plan was followed? Why it was not followed?
The initial plan was followed, to some extent, that we had assigned roles and tasks and those tasks had to be completed by a certain time. The plan was, however, not referred back to directly and some of the tasks took longer than expected and in some cases I did not spend enough time on them to have them completed when they were expected to be.
How effective were your team's pitches and presentations?
I was absent for most of the pitches and presentations. When I was attending, I lingered in the back of the group trying to vanish into the shadows or morph into the wall. Even in progress updates with the lecturers, I dreaded my turn to share progress because my input seemed so insignificant.

Dear Zindagi recorded an amazing opening weekend. The film has only 1200 screens in India but despite that, it has managed to take a total collection of 32.50 crore. These are great numbers for a film that has a niche topic and an audience mostly in urban regions.
Following are Dear Zindagi's day wise opening weekend collections:
Friday – 8.75 crore
Saturday – 11.25 crore
Sunday – 12.50 crore
Total: 32.50 crore
Gauri Shinde must be happy with these numbers as her film has got average to good response but now, her film is also enjoying a good graph in terms of money. Her previous film English Vinglish has done a lifetime business of 40 crore which will be surpassed by Dear Zindagi in coming days. Alia Bhatt has added another crown to her film career with this film as her performance was brilliant as Kaira. Shah Rukh Khan is one of he major reasons why the film's appeal was high in the minds of audience and due to his popularity, the film got a great buzz.
The film is expected to have stable weekdays and it can easily cross the 40 crore mark by the end of 1st week.

PAW PAW, Mich. (April 2, 2014) — A group of residents in Paw Paw went through a training exercise to show the effects of impaired driving on Wednesday night.
The group attended the Van Buren Sheriff's Department's Civilian Academy.
To simulate drunk driving, everyone put on special glasses and rode on an obstacle course in a golf cart.
The group also used a computer program to simulate the effects of texting and driving.
The class is in it's 15th week. The group consists of residents who said that they want to be more involved with their sheriff's department and to be aware of the issues their local law enforcement faces.
The Van Buren County Sheriff's Department said that in recent years, they've seen a rising trend of "drugged-driving." The department said that whether it be cocaine, marijuana, or any other substance, it's just as dangerous as drunk driving.

THIS year's National Teachers Awards has just gone by, with over 412 teachers rewarded for their hard work.
Held under the theme, 'Empowering teachers, building sustainable societies', the national ceremony was held at Tamale, in the Northern Region, and attended by the Vice-President, Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur.
Even though it had received a fair amount of publicity, the Times cannot allow the event to pass without a comment.
Teachers are very important not only for the development of all who desire to read and write.
They are the professionals who develop the human resource of the country.
It is against this backdrop that we congratulate all teachers across the country, and commend them for their sacrifice in ensuring that the sons and daughters of the land are educated.
The nation owes teachers a debt of gratitude, and the institution of the teachers awards scheme is just one of the ways to thank them.
We commend the 412 teachers and schools honoured on Monday, at the ceremony held in Tamale. Significantly, the ceremony was a marked shift from the previous ones where only 89 teachers were rewarded.
Unfortunately, however, for the first time since the inception of the awards, there was no award for the Overall National Best Teacher.
What this means is that no one deserved to be crowned the best teacher in the country.
Although we believe that should not take anything away from the sacrifices and the toil of teachers to educate Ghanaians, we are disheartened that no teacher could be found across the country, to have performed so well as to be crowned the best teacher of the country.
Perhaps, this is a wake-up call for all teachers in the country that even though we appreciate and want to honour them, their performance is falling below appreciable levels.
No doubt, the inability of the organisers to nominate and award a national best teacher this year speaks volumes about the teaching profession.
We, therefore, urge all teachers to rededicate themselves to the noble profession so that come next year, a national best teacher would emerge.
Once again, we congratulate all teachers of the country.

From left to right Dr Sarah Bartram (Consultant Rheumatologist), John Carvell (Hospital Governor and founder of Medicine for Members talks), Dr Richard Smith (Consultant Rheumatologist), Dr Aisling Coy (Consultant Rheumatologist) and Zoe Cole (Consultant Rheumatologist) at the Medicine for Members presentation.
The talks aim to give people an insight into how the body works, highlight the clinical conditions that are treated and provide some practical tips to keep safe and healthy.
During the talk the team outlined the process patient's will take following GP referral, the types of drugs and exercise they to need to take to move them towards 'remission', and the way in which treatment has changed over the years to manage the disease and help people live a normal way of life.
Inflammatory arthritis is a group of conditions where the body's defencesystem starts attacking tissues instead of germs and viruses which can cause pain, stiffness and joint damage.
In the UK, around 10 million people have some form of arthritis and the condition can affect people of all ages. The three most common forms of inflammatory arthritis are rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic athrthritis.
Dr Richard Smith, Consultant Rheumatologist said: "Rapid diagnosis and early treatment is critical to the management of pain and reducing deformity. We have an excellent team here in Salisbury and our main aim is to diagnose the condition early and start treatment within the first three weeks.
Dr Aisling Coy, Consultant Rheumatologist added: "Years ago bed rest was the preferred form of treatment but now we ruse a range of drugs that can effectively slow down the progress of the condition and minimize joint damage, together with structured exercise and physiotherapy."

After a banner day for Asian equities topped with a surprise diplomatic development in US-China relations, stocks in Europe are gearing up for gains as well.
Futures tip the FTSE 100 index to open 0.2 per cent higher in London, while France's Cac 40 is expected to open up 1.3 per cent and Germany's Dax index is set to begin the morning session with a rise of 0.9 per cent.
Those expectations follow on from major gains on Asia Pacific bourses after a solid Thursday performance from Wall Street, with Tokyo's Topix index up 2.2 per cent, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index up 0.6 per cent and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 closing 1 per cent higher on Friday.
The big surprise of the day in Asia was the reveal of a surprise phone call between US President Donald Trump and China's President Xi Jinping in which the former said he would respect the "One China" policy regarding the status of Taiwan, a move likely to ease tensions between the two global powers.
Corporate earnings reports out today include Renault, ArcelorMittal, Kering and Greene King.
The economic calendar for Friday is all about the UK, except the parts that aren't (all times London):
- 07.00: Norway consumer, producer inflation
- 07.45: France industrial production
- 09.00: Italy industrial production
- 09.30: UK industrial production and trade balance
- 09.50: ECB executive board member Yves Mersch speaks in Brussels

For Corporate organizations, the Program helps by:
By being part of the Launchpad Program, companies can help ensure that the issue of employability gap is effectively dealt with. Helping young talent be ready for the future of workplace would definitely allow organizations to fulfill their social responsibility. Companies can participate in the Program by sending guest faculty for different Programs, providing sponsorships and scholarships and so on.
Companies today understand that they also need to establish their brand value amongst the students who form the next generation of workforce. Our Program provides a great way for companies to interact with students and hence, get exposure. This enables them to establish and enhance their brand value amongst management students.
Participating companies will be benefitted as they will have access to a corporate ready workforce, with enhanced skill sets. They would be able to effectively fill any vacancies by becoming members of the Launchpad Program and participating in its placement process. The Program would help by allowing interaction between students and companies i.e. employees and employers.

Donald Trump's Pardon of Joe Arpaio Was Politically and Morally Wrong, as Well as Unnecessary
While the pardon of former Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, by President Donald Trump is being applauded by many in his base, it is receiving criticism from conservatives and some notable Republican officials.
There was speculation that Trump announced the Arpaio pardon late on Friday and while Hurricane Harvey was approaching Texas because he hoped it would get as little attention as possible. Trump now says it was just the opposite -- he did it because it would generate the highest ratings. Whatever the case, the pardon certainly has received a lot of attention in news outlets, including conservative ones.
On Fox News Sunday, Republican strategist Karl Rove said the power to pardon was "ill-exercised," because Arpaio had been found guilty of violating a federal court order to stop racially profiling when making arrests. Rove also correctly noted that the pardon did not go through the proper channels in the Justice Department, and that Trump had stepped in only to save a "political ally" from going to jail.
In an editorial, National Review explained:
[T]he facts are that Sheriff Arpaio repeatedly flouted court orders and detained aliens on suspicion of being in the United States illegally, which is not a crime under federal law (it's a civil offense).
Trump's issuance of a full pardon effectively endorses Arpaio's misconduct.
The editors concluded:
Arpaio is a hero to the populist Right, but his theatrical, inhumane imprisonment policies, ham-fisted immigration enforcement, and all-around witless showmanship had become so toxic that he got soundly thrashed in his latest reelection bid in a Trump-friendly county.
The Washington Examiner ran an editorial titled "Trump, Once the Law and Order Candidate, Embraces Lawless Disorder with Arpaio Pardon." For Trump, "law and order" seems to mean "busting heads." The editorial continues:
Arpaio's defiance of a judge's order to stop detaining people simply based on the suspicion that they were illegal immigrants was worthy of punishment. His career as a veteran and a long-time public servant does not change that. As sheriff, Arpaio's office would routinely detain Latinos solely on the suspicion they had broken immigration law, without any evidence whatsoever that a crime had been committed. It was government overreach that was backed up by Arpaio's authority, all while it was supposed to be Arpaio's job to protect the people of Maricopa County from injustice.
Joining them in opposition to the president's pardon was the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal, which stated:
President Trump's pardon late Friday of deposed Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio undermines that promise [by Trump, during the campaign, to abide by the law] and further politicizes the law.
Arpaio's long public service, they added, "hardly justifies the sheriff's defiance of the law he swore to uphold." A sentence of criminal contempt, the editorial explained, "is the only way to hold government officials personally responsible for violating court orders." They continue:

State's Organic Cows Starved For American-grown MealBy SHANNON DININNY
YAKIMA -- It comes as no surprise to anyone that the number of organic farms is booming to meet consumer demand for healthy food. In Washington, a state known more for its apples than for any other crop, there are 45 organic dairies. Five years ago, there were just two.
The challenge has been feeding all of those cows.
Acreage of organic forage, such as hay and alfalfa, has grown 40 percent in the past two years, yet isn't keeping pace with demand. In particular, high-protein crops such as soybeans that are necessary feed for dairy cows are in short supply in some regions, forcing some companies to import them from as far away as China.
Given the recent problems with food and ingredient imports from China, in which a slew of products have been turned away by U.S. inspectors amid claims that they are tainted, one might wonder if organic feed is actually organic.
"That's a legitimate concern. We do have organic standards, which apply even to producers overseas if they want certification," said Bill Freese, the Center for Food Safety's science policy analyst in Washington, D.C. "But I think the oversight of organic standards to be sure there's compliance is generally better in the United States than overseas."
Organic products are grown without pesticides, fertilizer, hormones or antibiotics. They make up only a small slice, about 3 percent, of the nation's food market, but increasing demand is pushing more farmers to make the switch in hopes of higher returns.
Dairy farmers are no exception. Consumer demand for organic dairy products has recently grown more than 20 percent each year, a trend that is expected to continue at least in the near term.
The federal government also encouraged conventional dairy farmers to convert to organic operations by easing organic certification to reduce feed costs. Under a federal rule, the farmers could feed their cows 20 percent conventional feed, which is less expensive, in the first nine months of operation. However, the rule expires Saturday, and dairies across the country made the switch to beat the clock.
"So many people came on board at once, and the system didn't know they were all going to go on board," said Lynn Clarkson, board member of the national Organic Trade Association and president of Clarkson Grain Co. in Cerro Gordo, Ill. "You have to start with feed a year ahead of time or you're not going to have it."
Clarkson estimated that demand for organic feed is growing 20 percent each year, while U.S. production of organic row crops, such as corn and other feed, is growing only as much as 4 percent.
Add in the "ethanol tsunami" that is encouraging more farmers to grow corn for biofuel rather than feed, he said, and the shortage could continue for organic growers "for a long time."
Shannon Andrews, a Portland feed ingredient trader for San Francisco-based agricultural commodities distributor Wilbur-Ellis Co., said she, too, can't meet demand.
"I have customers that are looking for six rail cars a month of corn, and I can't get that quantity coming from anywhere in the U.S.," she said, adding that the harder-to-find, high-protein feed is coming from China and other countries because "it's where you can get it."
Imports from China have come under increasing scrutiny amid a series of scandals concerning tainted or unsafe food, medicines and other Chinese exports. Products that have been banned or turned away by U.S. inspectors include wheat gluten tainted with the chemical melamine, which has been blamed for dog and cat deaths in North America, and monkfish that turned out to be toxic pufferfish.
Soybeans are among the highest-protein crop for feed when ground into soy meal. The United States is the world's largest producer of soybeans. China is fourth, but is a net importer as well, much of it coming from the U.S. in the form of genetically modified soybeans.
Wilbur-Ellis in Portland imports about 120 tons of organic soy meal from China each month, or roughly enough to feed 2,000 cows. But Andrews stressed that the feed is tested and certified organic.
"Every single load that we do is tested up to FDA regulations. Every single container that comes in is tested," she said. "We don't have any worries on that."
Others raise questions about the viability of such tests when so many other unsafe products from China have slipped into the country.
"I think the concerns should be for real. You have to wonder what organic means in China. It's certified, but how credible is the process there?" asked David Granatstein, a sustainable agriculture specialist at Washington State University.
Jay Gordon, a dairy farmer and executive director of the Washington Dairy Federation, believes that more feed crops need to be planted to meet local demand. He grows sunflowers, canola, and safflower on 700 acres in Western Washington's Chehalis Valley to feed his 104 organic cows.
The price for conventional canola meal is $150 to $170 per ton, while organic prices can reach $480 per ton. Crop farmers should recognize the potential in organics, he said.
"There's a lot of dairies that have decided they would not be in the business if not for organic," Gordon said. "We just have to go talk to our crop farmers."
Agriculture officials in Washington state have already taken notice. State officials held two seminars in the spring to encourage more farmers to become certified as organic growers, including Jim Arvidson, a hay grower in Sunnyside.
"You lose some production because of the lack of ability to use commercial fertilizer or maintain weeds the way I normally would," Arvidson said. But at the same time, "There's probably a 25 percent, maybe 30 percent increase for the organic feed. It's good."

What is Banned Books Week? The American Library Association writes,
Banned Books Week (BBW) celebrates the freedom to choose or the freedom to express one's opinion even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular and stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of those unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints to all who wish to read them. After all, intellectual freedom can exist only where these two essential conditions are met." [http://www.ala.org/ala/oif/bannedbooksweek/backgroundb/background.htm#wbbw]
Banned Books Week is about understanding censorship. The National Council of Teachers of English writes,
"We can safely make two statements about censorship: first, any work is potentially open to attack by someone, somewhere, sometime, for some reason; second, censorship is often arbitrary and irrational. " [http://www.ncte.org/about/over/positions/category/cens/107616.htm]
Did you know that people have tried to prevent the teaching of these books?
- To Kill a Mockingbird
- Fahrenheit 451
- The Lorax
- The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
- Moby Dick
- Anne Frank: The Diary of A Young Girl
- I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
- Little House on the Prairie
These books were all challenged — school or library boards removed them (or were asked to remove them) from school curriculum and from libraries — for different reasons. Books are challenged because they are perceived to be racist, violent, sexually explicit, and many other reasons. My favorite (found at The Forbidden Library) is that The Lorax was challenged for displaying hostility toward the logging industry!
Banned Books Week celebrates the fact that while the charges against the books may be true — The Adventures of Tom Sawyer does depict harmful racial stereotypes and attitudes about slavery — the books still have literary value. They can help us understand our past, and they can be valuable in teaching about issues that still face us today, like race, class, violence, the environment, and censorship.
So, this week, celebrate the freedom to read — read a banned book!

There is a lot of information available, all over the internet and traditional news media. Earlier this week, I posted a few online sources to check for evolving information. Here are a few more.
The New Orleans Times-Picayune newspaper is still publishing, but only online. You can find their reports on daily life in New Orleans at http://www.nola.com. The NOLA site also includes a web forum to talk with others about the disaster, and a "Missing Persons" board to help people find their loved ones.
MoveOn.org is hosting a guide for hurricane-related housing, where people can search for a temporary home or volunteer some space, at Hurricanehousing.org
Digitalglobe.com is providing the maps and images of New Orleans that you may be seeing on CNN tv reports.
There is also an extensive and growing list of resources being compiled by the Middletown Thrall Library, here in New York, available here: http://thrall.org/katrina.
And, as always, any of our reference librarians would be happy to help you find any information you need. Just stop by, send us an instant message (PotsdamLibrary), or an email. Finding information is what we do, and we're glad to help you.

Campobello – As an island committee continues efforts to reopen the possibility of a year-round ferry for Campobello, chair Brent MacPherson met with government representatives at the end of February.
He said the meeting with New Brunswick Southwest MP Karen Ludwig and Tyler Van Guelpen from the office of Minister of Tourism, Heritage and Culture John Ames took place in St. Stephen, and went very well.
The committee is asking for $10,000 in funding for a feasibility study and a business plan and, if it is received, plan to hire Vaughn McIntyre Consulting for the project.
"I asked them both what they would like to see in the report so we can give them what they are looking for. Karen said she would like to see the mayor and council on Campobello on board so I am meeting with them and sending a letter.
"She suggested we get a donation, and we have come up with $1000 so now we are asking for $9000 and (Ludwig) said she had a meeting with ACOA, so I assume I will hear back from her.
"There is nothing confirmed yet, but they are aware of what we are asking and what we are looking for. It was just a first meeting to open the lines of communication. John wants to see a business plan."
MacPherson said he has also reached out to some of the other Charlotte County mayors for their support as well as the mayor of Saint John.
"It is not a lot of money we are asking for and Vaughn needs to know before March 10 so I want an answer before then."

Journal Description
Basic information
The Journal of Adult Theological Education is an academic, peer-reviewed journal that promotes dialogue among those involved in adult theological education, whether aimed at the laity or ministry. Its perspective is both international and ecumenical. Its contribution to this field is both theoretical and practical and we encourage original research. The journal welcomes articles and book reviews or proposals for themed issues on specific aspects of the field.
JATE began life as a British Journal reflecting on methodology and pedagogy in adult theological education and that has remained the focus since it became an international journal from 2005. As we emphasise reflection and research on pedagogy (some would use the term andragogy) we make a particular contribution and therefore complement more technically focussed journals such as Theological Education and Teaching Theology and Religion.
Articles range widely; adult faith formation in congregations through both formal and informal learning; aspects of pedagogy and ministerial formation in formal university, seminary and theological college settings; lifelong learning for ministers, to name a few. We welcome articles from first-time researchers and writers who have not published yet. We seek to expand the breadth of the journal such that we welcome articles from faiths other than Christian and from as wide a range of countries and places as theological education takes place.
The Globethics.net library contains all the articles of Journal of Adult Theological Education from 1(2004) to 13(2016), provided by Taylor & Francis.

Abstract: In the UK, a "scandal" in the Labour Party has broken out; the party is divided, because former London Mayor, Ken Livingstone, has been suspended from the party. Why? He has made the horrendous crime of being guilty of telling the truth to those who hate the truth: that Hitler was working with the Zionists to send the Jews of Germany to Palestine – along with their wealth and possessions.
Then all Zionist Hell broke loose: The largest party donor, a Jew, withdrew his charitable gifts from the party. Moshe Kantor, President of the Central Council of European Jews (and a member of the notorious ECTR that quietly persuades the EU to mercilessly clamp down on all criticism of Jews and Israel), ordered the Labour leader to introduce zero-tolerance policy against anti-semitism, i.e. against anything that he dislikes.
On the other hand, I experienced several offensive, not well-founded and abusive comments on my in-depth article about the Jewish ancestry of Adolf Hitler. I see Israel as the Zionist synthesis of World War II and the thesis for the 3rd World War
Hitler is still a religious figure: To many, he is the Messiah. One commentator admitted that Hitler was his religion – he had none other. The Zionists created Hitler, he is their much-needed devil, by which they can have any criticism of their diabolical sanctuaries: Rothschilds Wall Street, London City and Israel punished by means of one word: "anti-Semitism".
In this article, Jewish convertite Henry Makow reviews a book by Jewish Edwin Black, in which the intimate cooperation between the Nazis and the heavily privileged Zionists about transferring the German Jews to Palestine into Rothschild´s colonies, is described in detail. As early as 1933 that was set up in the Haavara Transfer Agreement (1984). The report was apparently re-published in 1993 by the historian Mark Weber.
Between 1933-1941 t 60,000 Jews were voluntarily relocated to Palestine.
The Zionists were completely legal, retained their flag, their newspaper, cooperated with the Gestapo. Hebrew was spoken in their schools, and Hitler personally supported them in every respect. They despised the assimilation Jews and said they deserved to be persecuted. Yitzhak Gruenbaum, a famous Zionist, proclaimed: "One cow in Palestine is worth more than all the Jews in Poland."
"The Real (Orthodox) Torah Jews" write: Nazi propagandist and Jew, Julius Streicher, before the Nuremberg Tribunal: "I have said no more than repetitions of what the leading Zionists said." It is clear that he told the truth. Others said the same thing.
It's the age-old intention of Zionism, to foment anti-Semitism, wherever it is possible. Indeed, hatred of Jews and Jewish suffering are the oxygen of the Zionist movement. Hitler did everything the Zionists wanted.
After he stated that he could not drive the German Jews to Palestine into James de Rothschild´s new settlements there, Zionism's founder, Theodor Herzl, wrote in his diary: "The anti-semites will be our most trusted friends, the anti-Semitic countries our allies. "
Hitler was, inter alia, funded by the Zionists in Rothschild´s Wall Street, Fed, Rockefeller's Standard Oil, Ford. Their IG Farben plant ran Auschwitz – inter alia to pressurize the surviving Jews to travel to Palästine.
That the Holocaust in Auschwitz took place, has been convincingly reported to me by an "Aryan" SS dispatch rider. However, the 6 million victims, which the Zionist Holocaust religion keeps flinging at us is untrue: According to the World Jewish Almanac, in 1948, there were 440,000 more Jews worldwide than 1933. So, the bloodletting must have been limited – so much more as there were only about 500,000 Jews in Germany, when the war broke out, and 150,000 of them were in the army!
Today, Hitler is of immense importance for the Zionist domination of the world by means of the word "anti-Semitism" and a tremendous indoctrinated guilt complex – even amomg those to whom the Jews owe their salvation. And to many Germans, he is the Messiah.
An ADL press release shared yesterday urged Trump "to reconsider his use of the phrase 'America First'," saying it was used by so-called anti-Semites "seeking to keep the nation out of World War II." (InfoWars 30 April 2016)
Adolf Hitler´s ghost has now split the British Labour Party – and enraged the Jewish-owned hypocrite MSM.
Labour whip Mann berating Ken Livingstone for "antisemitism"
The Daily Mail 1 May 2016: It is ridiculous to call Ken Livingstone antisemitic. I was just leaving the BBC's Westminster studios on Thursday when Mr Livingstone stepped into an over-excited knot of political reporters. They looked like what they are – simultaneously a pack of snapping wolves, buzzing with self-righteousness, and a flock of bleating, conformist sheep, all thinking and saying exactly the same thing.
But why do they never care about Muslem Judeo-phobia?
The Daily Mail 1 May 2016: This is race war. Labour in the middle of melt-down. Corbyn's perceived failure to effectively confront anti-Semitism has generated suspicion among his Jewish colleagues. That suspicion has in turn fuelled counter-suspicion on the part of Team Corbyn.
But it is also an illustration of just how deep the cancer of anti-Semitism has eaten into the bones of the Labour Party. In 2016, Labour MPs believe their own leader has been drawing up lists, and officially designating them as disloyal, because they are Jews.
NWO´s World-ruling Jews are behind this brawl – of course.
The Telegraph 29 April 2016: David Abrahams, a major party donor, withdrew his support for the party over the anti-Semitism scandal.
Dr. Moshe Kantor, President of the European Jewish Congress, has called on Jeremy Corbyn to institute a zero tolerance policy against antisemitism.
(Moshe Kantor is the man behind the ECTR which pushes the EU to surveil and punish any kind of "intolerance" against Jews).
And the Jewish British lords are fuming with rage, demanding Livingstone´s head on a plate.
The Independent 30 Apr. 2016: The leader of the Israeli Labor Party, Isaac Herzog, has written to Jeremy Corbyn to say he is "appalled and outraged" at examples of alleged anti-Semitism in Labour.
Herzog invited Mr Corbyn to visit Israel's holocaust museum to help Labour "better understand the scourge of anti-Semitism". Over the last week Mr Herzog himself has been subject to criticism after he was filmed telling activists "we need to stop giving the impression that we are 'Arab-lovers'".
In February Mr Herzog distanced himself from Mr Corbyn, describing him as "naïve".
Comment: What on earth does a British Party´s attitude concern Israel? Well it does thanks to their Wall Street/London City-sent Zionist Adolf Hitler (see below) – from whom the British saved them on behalf of Frankist Rothschild´s Zionist British Crown/City of London who own the UK.
On the other side, I experienced insulting, little founded berating comments after my well-founded article on unknown Adolf Hitler´s Jewish origin. I still see Israel as the Zionist synthesis of WWII and the thesis of WWIII.
Hitler is still a religious figure: To many he is the messiah. One commentator admitted Hitler was his religion – he han none else. To the Zionists, who created Hitler, he is their much needed Devil, by means of whom they can punish any criticism of their diabolic Shrines: Rothschild´s Wall Street, London City and Israel by means of one single word. "Antisemitism".
The Beginning of this story: The Independent 28 April 2016: Former London mayor, Ken Livingstone, said: "Let´s remember that Hitler´s policy, when he won his 1932 election, was at that time that Jews were to be resettled in Israel. He supported Zionism – this was before he went mad and executed 6 million Jews ".
So, London´s former mayor speaks the truth as I have written – apart from the exaggerated 6 million Jews – and will be immediately suspended from the Labour Party!! Because they will not hurt their Rothschild paymasters /rulers and their product, Israel, of course.
What Livingstone says, is that Israel was planned long ago in cooperation between Hitler and the Zionists (the Rothschilds).
The following is by Illuminati and Masonry fighter, Jewish Henry Makow, who has converted to Christianity. Makow lives in Canada.
Henry Makow April 30, 2016: Zionism, Communism and Judaism are synonymous with a mind and soul-crushing tyranny called the New World Order. The treatment of Ken Livingstone and people like him is proof. In fact, Zionists and Nazis worked hand in hand, as The Haavara Transfer Agreement by Jewish author Edwin Black documents shows.
If Hitler didn't exist, Zionists would have had to create him. Maybe they did. (Hitler was genetically a Jew and here.
Zionism was "the only separate political philosophy sanctioned by the Third Reich."
Hitler was a Godsend for Israel
from Aug. 18, 2009
by Henry Makow Ph.D.
This report was repeated and apparently complemented by Mark Weber: The Journal of Historical Review, July-August 1993 (Vol. 13, No. 4), pages 29-37. gebracht.
The numbers from Edwin Black's The Transfer Agreement (1984) tell the story. In 1927, about 15,000 of Germany's 550,000 Jews considered themselves Zionists. That's less than 2%.
The vast majority of German Jews "vehemently rejected Zionism as an enemy from within." They were Germans. Eighty thousand had fought in the trenches and 12,000 had died. (In WWII 150.000 Jews fought for Hitler. I knew one of them). "Nowhere was the opposition of Jews [to Zionism] so widespread, principled, and fierce as in Germany," a Zionist historian wrote.
Thanks to Hitler, 60,000 German Jews emigrated to Israel between 1933 and 1941. Thanks to a "Transfer Agreement" between Nazis and Zionists, Jewish property valued at $100 million was transferred to Israel in the form of German industrial exports used to build Israel's infrastructure. The Transfer Agreement brought in tools, raw materials, heavy machinery, appliances, farm equipment as well as labour, and capital to finance expansion. Many of Israel's major industries, like textiles and the national waterworks, were thus founded. (pp. 373,379.)
This at a time when there were only 200,000 Jews in Palestine, including many anti- Zionist religious Jews. The daily wage of a Jewish worker in Palestine was $1 a day. There were 800,000 Palestinian Arabs.
Thanks to Hitler, the kernel of the German Jewish community was lifted up and transferred to Palestine along with their property. "Many of these people were allowed to transfer actual replicas of their homes and factories –indeed rough replicas of their very existences." (379)
In 1937, when the British proposed dividing Palestine into two states, the Nazis wondered if they hadn't made a mistake by creating "a Jewish Vatican" dedicated to Germany's demise. But Hitler overruled all dissenters and insisted the Transfer Agreement be continued and even expanded to other countries. Italy, Rumania, Hungary and several other countries under fascist influence signed similar agreements. (378)
Hitler hated Jews so much he built a country for them. He could have taken all their property and kicked them out but that would have been anti-Semitic.
What did he get out of it? Well the Zionists actually expanded Nazi trade by reselling German goods throughout the Middle East. Yes, they didn't just trade with the Nazis, they acted as their agents. The Nazis also got a lot of Jaffa oranges and got rid of a lot of Jews.
The Jewish World Congress had to act pretty offended because they had a world boycott of Germany goods. But this only endeared the doughty Zionists to the Nazis. And gave the Nazis an excuse to boycott and persecute German Jews.
As soon as the Nazis assumed power in 1933, the Zionists gained a protected political status. After the Reichstag fire, the Nazis crushed virtually all political opposition and closed 600 newspapers. But not the Zionists nor their newspaper which was hawked from every street corner, and saw its circulation multiply five times to 38,000. Zionism was "the only separate political philosophy sanctioned by the Third Reich." (174)
The Zionist uniform was the only non-Nazi uniform allowed in Germany. Same with their flag. Hebrew was mandated in Jewish schools. Still, German Jews wanted to stay in Germany "even as second class citizens, even reviled and persecuted." (175) But the Zionists scorned the German Jews saying they deserved to be persecuted for wanting to assimilate.
Zionists pandered to the Nazis comparing their racial ideologies: "a common fate and tribal consciousness must be of decisive importance in developing a lifestyle for Jews too." (175)
This explains how " a fringe minority of German Jews took emergency custody of 550,000 men, women and children…" Black says. This was confirmation "of what Diaspora Jews had always feared about Zionism–it would be used as the legal and moral pretext for forcing Jews out of European society." (177)
It explains also why Israel behaves like Nazi Germany. They have a common racist pedigree. Not only did the Nazis build Israel, but Israel built Nazi Germany by providing an export market. They worked together. Many Jews didn't get all their money when they arrived in Israel. Thus, the Zionists participated directly in the looting of Europe's Jews which was called "Aryanization."
Increasingly Israelis, and Jews in general, are realizing that Zionism is a ruse and Israel's behavior bears an uncanny resemblance to Nazi Germany's. For example, Israeli academic Yeshayahu Leibowitz said everything Israel has done since 1967 is "either evil stupidity or stupidly evil." He refers to the Israeli army as "Judeo-Nazi."
This is not the place to show how Hitler was put into power by Anglo-American (i.e. Illuminati and Jewish) finance, the same people who created Cmmunism and Zionism.
European Jews were uprooted, robbed and massacred in order to build the capital of Rothschild world government in Israel. Left: Supreme Court in Jerusalem – a Rothschild temple.
Henry Makow 29 Dec. 2011: Both Hitler and Churchill were pawns on the chessboard of the Zionist bankers. According to historian Thomas J. O'Keefe, Churchill said in his Memoirs that ex-German Chancellor (1930-1932) Heinrich Brüning revealed the identities of Hitler's backers in a 1937 letter:
'I didn't, and do not even today for understandable reasons, wish to reveal from October 1928, the two largest regular contributors to the Nazi Party were the general managers of two of the largest Berlin banks, both of Jewish faith and one of them the leader of Zionism in Germany."
Churchill was funded by a different branch of the same Illuminati Jewish banking syndicate.
Obviously, the Nazis did collaborate intimately with the Zionists.
Did Hitler really hate his tribesmen – or did he love the Zionists , shared their goal and methods, therefore driving them to Israel as the Zionists wanted?
In Fact, Jewish Hitler did with the Jews what the Zionists demanded him to do.
True Torah Jews: At the Nuremberg Trials of Major War Criminals, Nazi propagandist and Jew Julius Streicher testified: "I did no more than echo what the leading Zionists had been saying". It is clear that he had told the truth. Others said so, too.
It has been the age-old intention of Zionism to intentionally stir up anti-Semitism anywhere possible. Indeed, hatred of Jews and Jewish suffering is the oxygen of the Zionist movement,
There is a huge amount of literature describing how the Zionists made it very difficult to save Jews during and after World War II. Indeed, Yitzhak Gruenbaum, a famous Zionist, proclaimed that "one cow in Palestine was worth more than all the Jews in Poland."
This is fully in agreement with what Zionist movement founder, Theodor Herzl,wrote in 1897 in his diaries when he and James de Rothschild could not persuade the German Jews to go to Palestine – to Rothschild´newly founded Jewish settlements there: "Page 84 The anti-Semites will become our most dependable friends, the anti-Semitic countries our allies. On p. 118, he adds "We shall solve the Jewish Question by either safeguarding or liquidating the fortune of the wealthy Jews. If we cannot do it with the help of the wealthy Jews we shall do it in spite of them".
That was the policy of the IG Farben´s board (Anthony C. Sutton) – both the American and the German side. IG Farben ran Auschwitz without which Hitler could not have waged the war
Here are the American owners of the of the IG Farben – John D. Rockefeller being the biggest shareholder in IG Farben in 1939.
In a witness statement before the Hague Tribunal on 14 June 2003 , Chris Fairhurst stated The Rockefeller family, through Chase Bank and the Standard Oil Company, together with J P Morgan through the Morgan Bank, were major financial supporters of Nazi Germany's Third Reich. In fact Standard Oil was the largest shareholder in IG Farben and IG Farben was, next to the Rockefeller family, the largest shareholder in Standard Oil.
I am leaving it to my readers to draw the conclusions of this.
Only, I want to keep in mind what my big "Aryan" German ordonnance told me about stinking mass cremation at Auschwitz – at Birkenau (Auschwitz II) I suppose.
On the other side the 6 mio. executed Jews used by the Zionist propaganda/religion are not tenable – considering there were only 500.000 Jews in Germany when the war started.
In 1948 there were 440.000 more Jews worldwide than in 1933.
To compensate for 6 mio. The Jews must have been unusually fertile.
The 6 mio. Jewish victims are a fiction dating back to about 1900 AD – used in many other connections

Nothing is lukewarm about God- He is are all fire and passion and completeness. He says we are His Beloved. What is beloved?
Deuteronomy 13:12 Benjamin: "GOD's beloved; GOD's permanent residence. Encircled by GOD all day long, within whom GOD is at home."
God's home, surrounded by God. He surrounds us, always with us. Encircling like a seraphim….. Benjamin, the youngest child, the least, the runt of the litter, the bottom, but also the favorite. The beloved one. The last son of a prized wife. One who was born motherless, as his mother gave her life in birthing him. A picture of how God gave His Son so that I could be reborn into Him. I am just a little one, but worth His life, worth everything. He forgave us with His dying breath, just as Benjamin's mother named him with her last breath. He called us His own with His last breath. He loved me until the very end, even as I killed Him.
'beloved' in this case is from Hebrew 'dowd'.
H1730 (Mickelson's Enhanced Strong's Greek and Hebrew Dictionaries)
H1730 דּוֹד דּוֹד dowd (dode) (or (shortened) dod {dode}) n-m.
1. (figuratively) to love
2. (by implication) a love-token, lover, friend
3. (specifically) an uncle
[from an unused root meaning properly, to boil]
KJV: (well-)beloved, father's brother, love, uncle. (copied from theword.net)
Beloved- to boil. To boil with desire, with love, with passion. TO have so much love infilling that sitting still is impossible; action is required. He looks on us and sees us and loves us so much that His love drives Him into motion- into sending His Son to die for us, into acting in our lives and protecting us and keeping us from destroying ourselves.
(Rom 9:25 [NET])
As he also says in Hosea: "I will call those who were not my people, 'My people,' and I will call her who was unloved, 'My beloved.'"
Beloved in this instance is G25 (Mickelson's Enhanced Strong's Greek and Hebrew Dictionaries)
G25 ἀγαπάω agapao (ag-ap-ah'-o) v.
1. to love (in a social or moral sense)
{chiefly of the heart (wholehearted, unconditional, devoted) while G5368 is chiefly of the head (feelings, conditional, sentimental)}
[perhaps from agan "much" or Hebrew agab]
KJV: (be-)love(-ed) (copied from theword.net)
To love unconditionally, the famous 'agape'. He took me from a love that was just of the head in the world, took me out of the world, into a love from Him that is of His heart, eternal. May we love Him the same!!!
Just the concept of a God Who loves us agape is breathtaking. He created us, He know all our flaws and ticks and everything we have ever done against Him. EVERYTHING. And yet He still loves us. He still loves me. That in and of itself sets Him far beyond all other gods. Far above anything that man can design or dream of. He is the perfectly obtainable, knowable, loveable unobtainable, unknowable, unlovable God. Created by none, Creator of all. He is love, and I am His beloved.

If I used fork() and execv() to spawn several child processes running in the background and I wanted to bring one of them to the foreground, how could I do that?
I am trying to write a shell that can start processes either in the foreground or background.
"Background" and "foreground" are not terms used generically for processes, but rather only apply to shells which can wait for jobs on demand.
Complimentarily to Ignacio Vazquez-Abram's answer, I suggest that you emulate the shell foreground/background model.
As far as I can tell, backgrounding a process means suspending it. The easiest way to do this is through
SIGSTOP. When you foreground a process, send it
SIGCONT. As long as only one of your "jobs" are currently in the foreground, it will be the only one read and writing to the session's
kill(child_pid, SIGSTOP);
kill(child_pid, SIGCONT);
You may want to suspend each process after you
fork, and before you
execv, and give the user of your shell the option to foreground them later to maintain the invariant.
if (!fork()) { // we are the child
raise(SIGSTOP); // suspend self
execv(...); // run the command (after we've been resumed)
Here are some related links I found:
you can do use fg to bring process to foreground and bg to put process to background. you should know the pid of the process to bring it to foreground. refer linux manual of fg and bg for more info

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The American League West, at this point, would be difficult for the Texas Rangers to not win for a second consecutive season.
Even though second-place Los Angeles won its game Tuesday night at Toronto before the Rangers even took the field at O.co Coliseum, time and games are dwindling.
But because games are left to be played, the Rangers aren't getting greedy.
They would like to pass Detroit for the No. 2 playoff seed and home-field advantage for the AL Division Series, but that's not their focus.

Of more importance is wrapping up the division title before the final series of the season, three games Monday-Sept. 28 at Angel Stadium, and using the final few games to get the team ready for the ALDS.
"That's been the goal all along," first baseman Michael Young said Tuesday, before the first of three games against Oakland.
"We want to make sure we take business first, and that's making sure we get into the postseason."
The Rangers, who held a 4 1/2-game lead pending the outcome of their game against the A's, can be excused for looking ahead with the West title within reach.
They learned last year that the sooner the title is wrapped up, the sooner they can get players rest and set up the rotation for the postseason. That ranks higher on the priority list than getting past the Tigers.
"That [passing the Tigers] can't be part of your mindset," manager Ron Washington said. "If we just play and win, that'll take care of itself. I don't think we're that good to be thinking we better win 95 ballgames. We better just win today."
Should the Rangers clinch by Sunday, C.J. Wilson would pitch only three to five innings Monday against the Angels because that game would have no bearing on the West race.
A short outing would allow him to pitch Game 1 of the ALDS.
Washington also wants to get the Rangers' key contributors at least a game off before the season ends. For now, they won't rest until the West is won.
"If we clinch, I'm going to have to get some guys a day or so off," Washington said. "Yes, you want to win as many ballgames as you can. But the most important thing is that we have these guys healthy."
The Rangers entered Tuesday a game behind Detroit, but need to finish a game ahead of the AL Central champions. Should the teams finish with the same record, the Tigers would get the home field because they hold the tiebreaker by virtue of winning the season series.
While opening the playoffs at home would be the perfect scenario, the Rangers also learned last year that a lack of home-field advantage isn't a death sentence.
They won three times at Tropicana Field to knock off Tampa Bay in the 2010 ALDS.
The Rangers gave themselves a chance because they had time to get the team rested and the pitching staff ready.
"We all want to clinch as soon as possible," Young said. "Last year, it worked out extremely well. We got to get guys rest, set up our rotation, and we saw how that worked out in the first round.
"We would love to have home-field advantage, without a doubt. So would Detroit, so would every team. That goes without saying, but we don't want to put too much on our plate."
