The Sanctified Church and the Elect of Israel
Here, in Chapter 14, we again meet the 144,000, where they remove the lawlessness from the kingdom of heaven. At the end of the Chapter, the Rider on the White Horse tramples the lawlessness from Christ's kingdom, "the great winepress" that is described in Revelation 19:15, and Revelation 14:20. This was the work of the 144,000 described in verses 1-5.
The Rider on the White Horse, and the 144,000, are two different descriptions of the Sanctified Church of the end days.
In Chapter 7, we saw that the "144,000" as the twelve tribes of "New Jerusalem" described in Ezekiel 48; the City called "THE LORD IS THERE," (Ezekiel 48:35). This is the "New Jerusalem," that has the presence of the Spirit of God, the Spirit of truth. In Chapter 7, the 144,000 were "sealed by the Holy Spirit," (Revelation 7:3, Ephesians 1:13).
The 144,000 are "the bond-servants of God" (Revelation 7:3), all the elect of God, who do His work in the last days.
The close relationship between Israel, and the end time sanctified Church is emphasized by "the 144,000."
Jesus said:
Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. Luke 21:24
In Romans 11:25, Paul said: "a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in." There are two events that coincide in the end times: the salvation of Israel, and restoration of the Sanctified Church. The Jewish people within the Sanctified Church, become an "exceedingly great army" (Ezekiel 37:10).
Rev 14:1
the Lamb standing on Mount Zion – Mount Zion represents the Sanctified Church, the Mountain that was first described in Isaiah 2:2. The Lamb "on Mount Zion" speaks of the washing of the Church by the blood of the Lamb. This is the Holy and Sanctified Church of the end days.
His name on their foreheads – they are sealed as belonging to Him, by the Spirit of Adoption, see Rev 7:2, Eph 1:13; Rom 8:15. This is the name of Jesus, the name of the body of Christ, the name of the temple of God, the sanctified Church, as described in Rev 3:12, see additional commentary there.
Rev 14:2
a voice from heaven like the sound of many waters – this is the sound of end-time Sanctified Church, that we see in Revelation 19:6; and Ezekiel 43:2-7. Regarding the meaning of the 144,000 as Israel, we can consider Ezekiel 43:7: "And the house of Israel will not again defile My holy name."
like the sound of thunder…like the sound of harpists – the sound of the Holy Spirit of God providing a diversity of tongues; the harps we see in Rev 15:2 – which Paul compares to speaking in tongues in 1 Cor 14:7, and the sound of thunder, that speaks "Hallelujah! in Rev 19:6.
Rev 14:3
they sang a new song – they are like the those who bring out things old and new (Matt 13:52); the Israelites now sing the Song of the Lamb, as well as the Song of Moses, as described in Revelation 15:3. They have become the chosen people of two covenants.
and no one could learn – this is a spiritual song, they are singing with the Spirit, it is the "the song of the lamb,"as described in 1 Corinthians 14:15.
Rev 14:4
not defiled by women – not defiled by the Great Harlot (Rev 17), they are pure and do not accept corrupt doctrines. The 144,000 are the Sanctified Church, the spotless bride of Christ.
They follow the Lamb wherever He goes – they only follow the teachings and example of Jesus Christ.
as first fruits to God – Jesus said: "the last will be first, and the first last" (Matt 20:16). Israel as last, are also the firstfruits to God.
Rev 14:5
no lie – they will only follow the truth.

UK Police Make Third Arrest Over Cyber Attack
Last week the cops rounded up two teenagers (15 and 16) in connection with that cyber attack on TalkTalk. Today, the cops busted a twenty year old...probably after the other two kids told on him.
A 20-year-old man from Staffordshire, central England, was being held in custody and his address was being searched, London police said in a statement. On Thursday a 16-year-old boy was arrested in west London and later released on bail. Earlier in the week, police detained a 15-year-old boy in Northern Ireland who was also released on bail.

Julian Assange and Steve Jobs biographied, a beguiling Michael Faraday lecture, and accessible anecdotes from the world of technology.
Julian Assange: The Unauthorised Autobiography
If, like me, you're puzzled as to what an 'unauthorised autobiography' could possibly be, here is a story that's as much about Julian Assange's new book as it is about the man behind WikiLeaks. Australian journalist, finding himself short of funds to cover his escalating legal costs, sells the publishing rights to his autobiography. Upon completion of the first draft (ghost-written by Scottish novelist Andrew O'Hagan) Assange declares 'all memoir is prostitution' and asks his publisher Canongate to release him from his contract.
But it's too late for Assange and, despite the author's wishes, his publisher honours (their word) the contract and goes to press. And so it seems that a man who can control the publication of three of the biggest leaks in history – the Afghan War Diaries, the Iraq War Logs and Cablegate – cannot control a simple potted airport autobiography. Unless that's all part of the media hype.
So what have we got? We start in Wandsworth Prison, December 2010, with Assange complaining about his inability to communicate with the outside world, comparing himself with Oscar Wilde, in whose cell he believes himself to be incarcerated. Then we're propelled back to his early years, dragged around Australia by his hippie mother, chased by debt, stalkers, the authorities. All this prepares him for his adult life persecuted by sinister unseen forces that suppress freedom of speech. This experience draws him into the world of computer hacking, where he finds refuge, comradeship and the comfort of machines.
His deepest insight into hacking is 'people just don't get it', by which he means that criminal activities shouldn't be illegal if you're perpetrating them for what you think are the right reasons. After all, he was never in it to steal money, and the law of unintended consequences will never apply to people who work at night, under assumed names such as 'Mendax'. A theme that runs throughout this book is that the world has dealt Assange an unfair hand, and that conventional law should not apply to unconventional people.
Oddly enough, his persona isn't relentlessly dislikable. His nostalgia for early computer technology – in chapters such as 'My First Computer' and 'Cyberpunk' – betrays nothing more unpleasant than a mildly deranged, geeky teenager. His most interesting observations are about taking his first steps into computer systems of Nasa and the like. It's all a game, and the disconnected kids are not the nerds in their bedrooms hiding floppy-disks in their two-storey beehives, but those who hang out on street corners, or sit around watching TV.
Questions over the book's authorship, along with the disputed circumstances under which it was published, combine to produce the final irony that as a tool for technology journalists wishing to research Assange, the unauthorised status renders it pretty much useless. To be honest, the book raises more issues related to the ethics of publishing autobiography than it does leaked documents. There is, however, one laugh aloud moment where on the publisher's preliminaries page we are told that 'The moral right of the author has been asserted'.

The Chemical History of a Candle
By Michael Faraday, £14.99, ISBN 978-0-19-969491-4
One of the reasons Michael Faraday became such a popular lecturer in the 19th century was that he went to great lengths to engage his audience, undertaking detailed preparation and studying the art of keeping people on the edge of their seats.
'If I say to my audience this stone will fall to the ground if I open my hand, I should open my hand and let it fall. Take nothing for granted as known: inform the eye at the same time as you address the ear,' Faraday is reported to have told one young speaker about this 'show and tell' technique.
Certainly this approach is evident in his Christmas Lectures at the Royal Institution in December 1860 and January 1861 on the chemistry of a candle. He starts from how a candle produces light and then explores hydrogen balloons, the properties of oxygen, and the gaseous products of combustion while doing a lot of clever business with laboratory glassware, matches, turpentine, goldfish, and gunpowder.
In this 150th anniversary edition of the lecture series, the text comes complete with a reproduction of Faraday's original handwritten notes and diagrams. There is also an introduction by Frank James, author of the 'Complete Faraday Correspondence', to provide some useful historical context.
Reading the lectures for the first time myself, I was surprised by how close to the surface Faraday's religious beliefs are. At the end of the final lecture, he sends his audience away like a vicar, saying 'shine as lights to those about you, that in all your actions you may justify the beauty of the taper by making your deeds honourable and effectual in the discharge of your duty to your fellow-men.'
These lectures are historical documents written in the language of their time. And yet the science hasn't gone out of date, neither it seems have the techniques for inspiring young scientists.

Steve Jobs: The Biography
By Walter Isaacson, £25.00, ISBN 978-1408703748
It is easy to judge Steve Jobs, to slam much of his behaviour as deplorable. One of the strengths of Walter Isaacson's excellent biography is that he refrains from iconoclasm although the strong meat is there.
Of many questionable acts the book details, one involves a 2008 confrontation between Jobs and Fortune. The magazine had prepared an article that discussed Jobs' cancer and a long-standing controversy over Apple stock options. The privacy-obsessed Jobs played this card while lecturing Fortune's managing editor that the piece should be spiked: 'So, you've uncovered the fact that I'm an asshole. Why is that news?'
Isaacson says this illustrates Jobs' self-awareness. Arguably, yes it does. But for many Silicon Valley workers and commentators, the anecdote chimes another way.
Forgive us, but 'high-tech CEO exposed as asshole' isn't news (although the article was, and Fortune rightly went ahead and published). Jobs' generation saw a clutch of driven founder-leaders spend their youths building start-ups into empires. While there are many 'gentlemen' running Valley companies today, the 'players' necessarily outnumber them.
Isaacson gets this. Although as many of Jobs' contemporaries remain powerful business leaders with powerful lawyers, he wisely makes it an implicit theme. The book is so well structured that the enforced fudge doesn't matter too much.
Isaacson humanises Jobs. He negates the distortion field to deliver a comprehensive overview of the traits and experiences that shaped his subject. More importantly, he successfully highlights the differences in Jobs between the simply atypical and the truly exceptional.
One talent that set Jobs apart was understanding not so much technological detail but entire systems, through to industrial design. Here is Jobs addressing Apple staff after the ousting of CEO Gil Amelio in 1997:
'OK, tell me what's wrong with this place,' he said. There were some murmurings but Jobs cut them off. 'It's the products!' he answered. 'So what's wrong with the products?' Again, there were a few attempts at an answer, until Jobs broke in to hand down the correct answer. 'The products suck!' he shouted. 'There's no sex in them anymore!'
The book shows how Jobs' aesthetics developed and how he lived them – at one point occupying a largely unfurnished house not only because it suited his 'less-is-more' tastes but also because he could seldom find a sofa or table he liked. This feeds the recounting of Jobs' later involvement with Pixar in computer animation and how his return to Apple seeded the iFamily of products that made it the pre-eminent technology company.
Isaacson is also strong on the Apple founder's relationship with money. The young Jobs spotted the commercial opportunity in selling 'blue boxes' that Steve Wozniak designed to scam long-distance phone charges (and he cheated Woz on payment for some contract work). But while counterparts remained obsessed with earnings or switched to philanthropy, the mature Jobs wanted to change the world through his business. He probably has.
The book shows signs of having been rushed out following Jobs's death: it needs a few edits for the paperback. But overall, this is a powerful combination of the general and the specific. It is the life of a great innovator painted in Cromwellian style, and gives a real sense of Silicon Valley from the 1980s to the present. Yup, you're going to buy it – and not just because Jobs designed the cover.

Dot-Dash To Dot.Com
By Andrew Wheen, £26.99, ISBN 978-1441967596
A wealth of interesting historical facts and entertaining anecdotes from the early days of telecommunications make Andrew Wheen's account of how the sector has evolved over the last couple of centuries extremely easy to get straight into.
Having delved into the lives of pioneers such as Samuel Morse and Henry Ellsworth, and their Bill which almost wasn't passed in time for the invention of the electric telegraph, the book moves swiftly on chapter by chapter through a timeline of events in telegraph evolution before exploring the pioneers of radio communication such as Gugliemo Marconi, Nikola Tesla and James Clerk Maxwell.
Wheen then goes on to look at modern digital times, from computer networks and the birth of the Internet to how the Internet works and has evolved over the last few decades. Those unsure of what Wiki, blog or podcasts are will benefit from reading this section and be more confident to try them out.
The last few chapters discuss the mobile revolution and the emergence of internet phones. He also covers the future of telecommunications including information on cloud computing, internet television and possible health concerns with radioactivity from mobile communication systems.
An extremely easy read, Dot-Dash to Dot.Com is informative and well laid out with lots of great photos.

An image from the Sunday's Team Time Trial in Tung Chung. Results wise we had a bad day as our team got pretty much blown apart in the first quarter of the race, leaving 4 men to bring it home. Alas, I was probably the weakest of the 4, but I was pleased to at least get pretty much dragged to the finishing line (at 43.5kph) given my recent time off the bike.

Twilight. That magical time of day after the sun has set and still light enough to see everything. Twilight has always fascinated me. I think it is because of the fact that while you can still make out most of the details in the surroundings, it is dark enough to provide a hint of mystery of what lurks in yonder shadows. Not to mention that the glow of lights provide a twinkle and bright spot to an otherwise dark scene. Then if you had a little rain so the lights reflect off of many different surfaces, it gets even better.
On March 10 of last year, there was an eastbound parade of four trains coming to Springfield from Tulsa with a projected arrival in the early evening. It was raining lightly and everything appeared to be coming together for a shot I had thought about for some time. So I headed west to the town of Billings, Mo. to catch the trains in that magical time of day. When I got there, I set up and listened to the scanner for a hint of when they might actually arrive. While I waited, the situation continued to worsen weather wise. It got darker, began to rain harder and harder, and lightening was cracking almost continuously with the thunder providing a deafening roar. With tripod set up and in place, I patiently waited in the truck listening to the scanner for the detector just west of town to give me warning that the first train had actually arrived. I waited. And waited. And waited. All the while trying to hear the scanner over the now deluge of rain pounding the truck between the lightening bursts and cracks of thunder. But no train.
Finally the rain began to lighten up as the storm passed to the northwest. Dark clouds and lightning were now over the old stone bank building. If only everything would come together at the same time I thought. The lightening stopped. The rain stopped and the streets were beginning to dry off. Only then did the first train show up about an hour and a half after its projected passing through Billings. I took several shots as the train passed and then waited for the second of the four trains that never did appear before it got so dark that you would not have been able to see them in the picture without a flash. So I headed home, pleased with what I did capture, but disappointed in knowing what I could have captured more, had the timing been just a little different.
After being back home for a week or two with the one picture that I did get, I couldn't help but think about the implications had everything come together instead of being separated by about fifteen minutes. It was about this time while working on another project; as I was looking through some of books and magazines I have on Photoshop, I stumbled across an article about how to create lightning. The light came on, so to speak. This is how I could create what I had envisioned while sitting and waiting in the truck at Billings. While I did not have the ability to bring the forces of Mother Nature together in the way I wanted, I did have the ability to bring them together in my picture, just as I envisioned the scene that afternoon. The resulting picture captures the mood and feeling that I experienced, quite well.

My artist friend, Jen Molon, once told me that when drawing, I must beat my left brain. I must look at things with an artist's eye. And I must draw what I see, not what I think. It sounds complicated but I just did that today by sketching this portrait upside down.
Upside down drawing shuts the thinker part of your brain. At first, I was like, "wait, turn my left brain off? No way!" But later on, it made sense. Keeping your left brain functional while you're at your Picasso mode defeats your artistic vision. Upside down drawing allows you to see just curves, shapes, lines, and their relativity, making the job easier. (It's easier to draw lines, curves, and shapes than eyes, nose, and mouth, right?)
Upside down drawing also brings about a little surprise. Working with just your eyes and hands doesn't require as much effort as analyzing what you're drawing. And when you turn your work up, voila!
I had a fun sketching today, probably because of that "what will it look like?" question I had which was quickly answered with a "we'll see." And while I was almost halfway done or so, I figured that turning off our brain and seeing things as they are without giving them any label at all make life simpler. And I have no idea why I thought of that when my left brain that analyzes was supposed to be turned off that time.
Now, it's 4 AM. Can someone tell me how to turn my right brain off so I could get some sleep?

DGL's Summer Leg Is Coming To An End, Will A Late Team Change Cause Problems?
Last week we discussed Dota 2 and the storm it unleashed upon the local gaming scene. I covered the doGaming-hosted Spring League, which was won by Bravado Gaming. While many of us have been methodically settling into the mundane school/university/work routine, doGaming and our hero wielding combatants have been hard at work in a Summer Leg 2013 Dota 2 league.
According to doGaming, they handed out over half a million rands worth of prizes last year, across all games. You would have to be a pretty pessimistic human being to assume that the prizes up for grabs in this year's event schedule will be anything short of mouth-watering. However, to reach this pot of gold, teams must struggle for every inch over a gruelling double leg round robin (hence the 'summer' and 'winter' legs) – where a handful of the best hopefuls will pit it out in the Grand Finale. Queue fireworks.

This week we find ourselves in the final round of the Summer Leg. The infamous top four, namely: Team Immersion (former BASH), Energy eSports, ASF and Bravado (yes, they're all still there) should all be fairly pleased going into the Winter Leg with five points separating them, and then a five point gap between them and the rest of the Premier Division. Energy eSports have continued their good run of form and sit pretty on top with 22 points. ASF and Team Immersion are tied on 19 and Bravado follows behind closely on 17. While the running might be tight at the moment, the departure of Donio 'DoniBeast' Teixeira from Team Immersion could potentially turn the domestic competition on its head. Here's what he had to say.
You guys [Team Immersion] obviously didn't do as well as you would have wanted last season. How did you feel coming into the 2013 Summer Leg?
We came into the summer leg feeling strong. Beating Bravado [2-0] in the beginning of the leg really got our spirits up – they have been our toughest opposition in the past. As the leg continued more problems became apparent in the team. My refusal to play with freez, and the constant fighting/arguing took its toll during the 'bad streak' [Where we drew to OpG]."
Arguing can really take its toll on a team – is it the reason you left?
I left bash because I didn't enjoy playing there anymore and decided 'why waste my time playing with people I don't enjoy playing with?
Fair enough – after all, we play games to have fun at the end of the day don't we? So, seeing as you're not involved in the Summer Leg anymore – what are your plans going forward?
I will probably be joining the Winter Leg with a team – I can't say much about that though, it's just going to have to be a surprise.
And lastly, before I lose you, what do you think is in store for the rest of the league?
It's hard to say; the 'top 4' are all really inconsistent. All the teams go through these 'good patches' where they dominate for a few weeks and then subsequently start losing. Rinse and repeat.
We're at the halfway point of the season and it is arguably an even race for the time being. We've seen some spectacular games, such as Team Immersion's early dominance in their 2-0 victory over last year's winner (Bravado), and their subsequent nail-biting loss to ASF. This season has once again given fruition to the commonly held belief that South African teams will forever have the cloud over inconsistency hanging over their heads.
So, I leave it up to you–will Energy eSports carry on with their dominant run? Will Team Immersion's roster change help or hinder them? Feel free to leave your opinion below, and if you've happened to miss any of the games thus far, you can catch the VOD, accompanied by some splendid shoutcasting, over at Noxville's YouTube page.

Two Separate Legal Processes After a DWI/DUI Arrest

The Criminal Charges
Drunk driving is treated as a serious crime in both Connecticut and New York. We have more than 35 combined years of experience handling the more complicated aspects of DWI litigation:
- Constitutionality of drunk driving stops and searches
- Blood tests and Breathalyzers used to measure blood-alcohol content (BAC)
- Courtroom procedures used to measure blood-alcohol levels
- Issues related to prior convictions, both in and out of state
We are well-versed in the penalties for first, second, and subsequent drunk driving offenses, and we use this knowledge and experience to find solutions so that you get the best result possible in your case. When we take your case, we will do everything possible to protect your record and your right to drive.
You can look up your court date here for DUI/DWI charges.
The Administrative Hearings With the Department of Motor Vehicles
In addition to the charges you may face in the criminal courts, you will also face the possibility of the Department of Motor Vehicles suspending your driver's license. We have the experience and skill to represent you in the administrative hearings before the DMV so that you can retain your right to drive.
Check our resources page to get more information from the DMV.

Toews isn't all that classy in my opinion. He's not a complete dirtbag, but he does tend to run his mouth quite a bit.
Silly stuff such as, "we're going to expose them for what they really are" (in response to a media member's question when the Hawks were down 3-0 to the Canucks during the 2011 series). He's made a few comments like that. You NEVER heard guys like Sakic, Bourque, Gretzky, Yzerman, Scott Stevens, etc., saying stuff like that. Ever.
However - Toews gets a pass from most media members because outside of Sidney Crosby, him and Pat Kane are the two biggest NHL media darlings.
Guys like Yzerman, Sakic, Gretzky, Lemieux, Bourque, Iginla, Kariya, Stevens, Niedermayer, Brodeur, etc., etc. NEVER trash talked outside the arena. True class acts through and through.
I know in my list a few weeks ago, I chastised guys like Toews, Doughty, Richards, Thornton, Keith, Lucic, and Seabrook on here (perhaps implying that I was only singling them out since they represented rival teams), but consider the following:
Anze Kopitar, Jonathan Quick, Patrick Marleau, Marian Hossa, Patrick Sharp, David Kreijicki (sic), Patrice Bergeron, and Tuuka Raask. To the best of my knowledge, I have never criticised them or spoken ill about them despite them being on rival teams. Why? Because - they are class acts through and through.
Even in years' past when the Avalanche made the Canucks taste their dicks all throughout the late 90's, I never once criticised guys like Joe Sakic and Peter Forsberg. Claude Lemieux and Patrick Roy? I attacked a lot because both men are and were douchebags.
Iginla and Kipper in Calgary? Same thing. I never spoke badly about them ever. Dion Phaneuf? Complete piece of shit.

My six-year-old told me I never taught her to wash her hands. Ouch!
It seems the age-old ritual of washing up before lunch, at least in some schools, is now passé. Why no more soap and water? Germ-X, of course.
"The kids don't need to wash up," said a teacher-aide at one Colorado elementary school. "They just stick out their hands and I give them a squirt."
Now that's what I call zenful.
Maybe "washing" with Germ-X helps conserve natural resources, but surely something more important is lost in the process.
If kids are too rushed to wash up when they're six and eight, imagine what their lives will be like when they're twenty. Handwashing, as simple as it sounds, is actually an important cognitive process, although as grown-ups we don't really think about the steps involved. We just do it. But little ones need to learn step-by-step procedures. Not just handwashing, but procedures like hanging up their coats, putting away toys, etc. It's – que' est-ce que c'est – beneficial to their thinking skills.
So you can imagine my horror when my six-year-old daughter came home from a visit to her grandparents' house and explained -quite earnestly, in fact – that I had never taught her to wash her hands.
It seems her Pop-Pop busted her. She'd been instructed to wash up for dinner and when she emerged from the bathroom minutes later, the old gent had reason to doubt the degree of thoroughness with which she had completed the task.
Not one to let grime go unreckoned with, he checked the towel. (Really, you should've seen this man's garage. He even had a small paper bag taped to the dryer for collecting the lint.)
And so Pop-Pop marched my blond-haired girl back to the bathroom to set her straight. He didn't just lead her to water, he taught her to fish; and his instructions left an indelible impression.
Pop-Pop might have been old-fashioned and set in his ways, but he was right on the money in the germ department.
The CDC says that hand-washing is the number one thing people can do to keep from getting sick and spreading germs. And whereby that teacher-aide probably believes hand sanitizers are a gift from God, they are not effective if hands are visibly dirty. Those little paws might have gotten by her, but they would not have gotten by Pop-Pop.
After my daughter told me of my failure – and I mopped my maternal ego off the floor – I listened to her recite, step-by-step, what she'd learned from her grandfather. She was actually quite adorable and ever so sincere: First you turn on the water and get it warm. Then you wet your hands and pick up the soap and make lather. Then you turn off the water and wash your hands. (I watched as she rubbed her little hands around and around.)
You have to wash the backs of your hands, too, she said. And each finger and under your fingernails. Then you turn on the water and rinse off your hands. Shut the water off and you're done. Then you can dry your hands.
I would add that kids can time themselves to the Happy Birthday song. Sing it twice – not too fast – for a thorough washing. The alphabet song works to, twice through.
Little ones can and should be taught to wash their own hands as soon as they are able to follow simple instructions. They might need a sturdy step stool to reach the sink, and some help reaching the faucet. Don't forget to model handwashing for your child. Tell him what you are doing with each step. Take it down to the 1/16th, like Pop-Pop did. Don't assume that your child will intuit handwashing, just because you've washed his hands every single day for the first two or three years of his life.
I never went in for sticker-charts, but they might be of value when teaching a new skill, such as handwashing. Let your child place a sticker on the chart everytime she completes the task for the first month or so.
It's pretty much common sense when kids need to wash their hands. Here's what what CDC recommends for kids and adults:
- Before, during, and after preparing food
- Before eating food
- Before and after caring for someone who is sick
- Before and after treating a cut or wound
- After using the toilet
- After changing diapers or cleaning up a child who has used the toilet
- After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
- After touching an animal or animal waste
- After touching garbage
I add to that list a few of my own: Always wash hands after shopping and pumping gas. I also like to wash after shaking hands. If you can't wash, use hand sanitizer.
If your kids are going to be using hand sanitizer at school, make sure they know how: Take a squirt of hand sanitizer gel and rub it into the palms, then onto the backs of hands and up and down fingers – until hands are dry.
Remember, hand-sanitizer is not as effective for kids as handwashing because their hands are frequently dirty.
Here's a too cute podcast from the CDC, a recording by children for children about the importance of handwashing. Give it a listen. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/player.asp?f=11072 FFG

The Parliamentary Select Committee's Communities and Local Government: Departmental Annual Report 2007 noted that the time taken by Fire and Rescue Services (FRSs) to respond to emergency calls is rising.
Response times to Primary Fires (dwelling fires, Other Buildings fires, larger outdoor fires and road vehicle fires) were examined for the period 1996 to 2006.
It was found that response times to each type of Primary Fire in England increased from 1999, primarily due to increased traffic levels. The increase in response times started about four years before the introduction of Integrated
Risk Management Plans (IRMP) and the increased focus on Community Fire Safety (CFS) work. A qualitative review of changes in operational practices, such as donning Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) before entering appliances, indicated that these would not account for the observed increasing trend in response times.
Using response time fatality rate relationships, it was predicted that the increased response times may contribute to about 13 additional fatalities in dwelling and Other Buildings fires each year, possibly 65 additional deaths in Road Traffic Collisions (RTCs) and an £85m increase in Other Buildings fire damage.
However, recorded annual dwelling fire fatalities fell by 142 between 1996 and 2006, and the average size of fires has not increased. This suggests that increased response times to fires have been more than offset by other
factors, particularly improved fire safety. Deaths in Road Traffic Collisions have also fallen in this period. Whilst the number of fires in Other Buildings has fallen, there is no clear trend in the number of Other Buildings fire deaths.
By analysing response times to primary fire and road traffic incidents over a number of years, trends in these response times are presented and discussed. Possible reasons for changes in Fire and Rescue Service response times are also described.
You can view the report here.

Commonly Made Mistakes You Should Avoid While Investing in a Vacuum Cleaner
When it comes to purchasing vacuum cleaners, people tend to not be picky and buy whichever is the cheapest brand that they find, that is where all the problem lies. There are a lot of different factors that one needs to consider prior to buying a vacuum cleaner. If you are one of those people who happen to live in an area where there is a lot of dust and also have pets then investing in a vacuum cleaner is the most sensible thing to do. However, for pets the best kind of vacuum cleaners are the ones that tend to need more precise equipment i.e. handheld vacuum cleaners for such purposes. However, for people who have never required these they tend to make some really big mistakes that might seem small on the face value but can cause a lot of problems in the end so it is always better to make an informed decision than to go ahead and select any brand without giving it a second thought.
Here, we have made a list of a couple of commonly made mistakes that people should avoid while purchasing a vacuum cleaner, you can check them out below. For further details you can check out different Vaccum Life.
Buying Something Without Checking The Specs
As mentioned before, there are multiple things that can go wrong if you do not check the specs of the vacuum before buying, there are so many varieties in the market that selecting the one that fits your specific requirement can be difficult. So in order to narrow it down you should always take a look at these things i.e. type, source of power and the purpose that you are buying it for as well.

Our offices and our ways of working have an impact on the environment and by constantly monitoring, evaluating and managing our impact we build on our successes.
Our efforts concentrate on encouraging responsibility around waste and water use, ensuring a responsible travel policy and working with our energy suppliers on carbon management.
We commission regular carbon studies to measure our footprint, with the last report showing a reduction of carbon emissions of over 10% in the last four years. We have also switched to 100% electricity from renewable sources for all of our UK offices and recycling is in place in all our locations.
The move of our London HQ to Cannon Place has been a great opportunity to demonstrate CMS' commitment to the environment. For example, 15.34 tonnes of metal was collected and recycled, and 1,400 Keep Cups were introduced to eliminate 5,600 disposable cups used annually.
The firm has been part of the Corporation of London's Clean City Awards Scheme for the past few years, and has seen its continual improvement and commitment to the environment rewarded on many occasions. CMS won the Bronze Award at the Mayor of London Business Energy Challenge 2015, and for the fourth consecutive year achieved a Platinum Award at The City Mayor of London's Clean City Award 2015.
We are working to expand our green initiatives to all of our offices.

FSPW staff and volunteers help Thompson Falls teacher Rob Christensen get kids outside.
by Jen Stone Kreiner
FSPW Sanders County Outreach Coordinator
Surrounded by the great outdoors, residents of Sanders County are privy to the abundance of local public lands. Many kids are been raised hunting, camping and fishing, but some have never been on a hike or used a tent. With this in mind, Rob Christensen, Thompson Falls Elementary Guidance Counselor, has created a summer program that addresses outdoor recreation safety, skills and awareness for kids ages 8-16 through Project ASCENT.
This program is designed to introduce participants into the world of the wilderness through education and expedition. Project ASCENT is jam-packed full of basic wilderness and safety information as well as a chance to experience varying levels of wilderness skills and activities in an experiential setting. An appreciation of our environment is coupled with the opportunity to meet outdoor and recreational professionals from our community in a service learning atmosphere to provide students with the ability and motivation to become lifelong stewards of wild places.
Curriculum ranges from core camping skills like using equipment and gear to ethical environmental practices like Leave No Trace principles. The camp arms students with survival essentials in potential situations where shelter, food and clean water are not readily available. The week-long agenda for students in grades 6th-11th includes backpacking, fly fishing, rock climbing and water recreation.
The final July Ascent Camp ventured to western Sanders County in the heart of the Cabinets and found base camp at Bull River Campground, where Friends of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness coordinated Leave No Trace and Bear Aware presentations with Montana FWP and USFS Plains Ranger District for camps. The week-long adventure included day trips into the proposed Scotchman Peaks Wilderness.
The week started with FSPW volunteers Leah Lambert and Carolyn Hidy at Ross Creek Cedars. They shared their enthusiasm about riparian habitat looking at aquatic macroinvertebrates in a controlled setting with the students. After exploring the Cedars the Ascent Camp ventured down Trail #142 into the proposed wilderness on their first hike. Early to rise the next day, the group met Sam Olson, FSPW summer back country ranger intern at Historic Star Peak Trail #999 just west of Big Eddy Campground off of Highway 200. The group achieved perfectly plump huckleberry picking altitude and were rewarded with purple fingers and amazing views! That evening FSPW volunteer Charlotte Milling, PhD shared a mammology lesson as well as information about being a field scientist. Milling shared photos and videos of her career and other colleagues' work.
On the final day at Bull River Campground, USFS Forestry Technician Joel Sather gave an overview of wilderness safety and first-aid practices. This presentation was followed by Ryan Kreiner, Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks Fish Biologist who talked about FWP's work with cold water fisheries species, both native and non-native and different methods to study populations.
It was a jam-packed week and the Friends and their diverse volunteers are excited to have had this opportunity with youth outdoor education through the Ascent Camp!
Project ASCENT was made possible by the Gear Up grant funding through Thompson Falls School. The Gear Up funding sunsets in 2018, but Christensen aims to keep the camps going strong. If you are interested in helping keep these FREE camps in our community, please contact Rob Christensen at firstname.lastname@example.com to see how you can get involved and sustain these great opportunities for local students

BRENTWOOD, Calif. --Police say a missing elderly Brentwood woman who suffers from the early stages of dementia has been found.
Eighty-year-old Blanca Millerstrom's family last spoke to her by phone at about 1 p.m. Tuesday. But her family could not reach her Wednesday and found her car and dog missing from her home.
The car, a 2007 brown Nissan Altima, was discovered with the dog inside on Bay Place near Oakland's Lake Merritt but Millerstrom was not nearby. She was believed to still be in the Oakland area.
Late Wednesday night police announced that Millerstrom had been found, but did not provide any other details.

From Lacoste's trailer of its Ad campaign, comes a beautiful script telling the story of Life, being a beautiful playing field. The campaign which is played around its new theme: "Life is a beautiful sport", reinstates Lacoste's core values. The first look reveals top models Kati Nescher and Roch Barbot conquering urban landscapes for LACOSTE
The shots presented by Jacob Sutton, portray men and women who have risen above the city and life's uncertainties. It shows Man's courage when faced with a grand challenge. The imagery is clear and speaks bravery when crossing one hurdle to another.
The style is distinct and captivating, while appearances of the models are vivid with panache. I can't wait to see the campaign which will be globally broadcast from March 2014 onwards; this will comprise a 30" movie as well as a 60" one, both done for TV and cinema, with visuals for the press and poster campaign and a digital activation.
Good Style.

This course is an introduction to the most important discoveries and intellectual paradigms in computer science, designed for students with little or no previous background. We explore problem-solving methods and algorithm development using the high-level programming languages Java and Scratch. Students learn how to design, code, debug, and document programs using techniques of good programming style in a Linux-based environment. This course presents an integrated view of computer systems, from hardware architecture and data communication systems through compilers and cryptography. We examine theoretical and practical limitations related to unsolvable and intractable computational problems, and the social and ethical dilemmas presented by such issues as software unreliability and invasion of privacy. Students may count only one of CSCI S-1, CSCI E-10a, or CSCI E-50a for degree credit.
Python is a language with a simple syntax, and a powerful set of libraries. It is an interpreted language, with a rich programming environment, including a robust debugger and profiler. While it is easy for beginners to learn, it is widely used in many scientific areas for data exploration. This course is an introduction to the Python programming language for students without prior programming experience. We cover data types, control flow, object-oriented programming, and graphical user interface-driven applications. The examples and problems used in this course are drawn from diverse areas such as text processing, simple graphics creation and image manipulation, HTML and web programming, and genomics.

The State of Social Media Demographics: 2017 Benchmarks [Infographic]
There's quite a bit of information out there to support the claims that people are moving farther away from broadcast television, and closer to the digital realm. And within that landscape, people are straying from their desktops and laptops, and opting to get online via mobile with more frequency.
At least, that's what the folks at Nielsen and Google have found in their research. As the latter puts it, mobile devices are no longer "secondary," and people aren't just using them to get online — they're using them to get social.
Boys secure in their racial identity seek more diverse friendships
"Children often seek answers from parents, friends and media to better understand their racial identity.
Middle school boys who feel secure about their race during this ongoing information gathering will likely befriend diverse people, according to a new University of Michigan study."

When comparing Audio-Technica ATH-ANC23 vs Sony MDRZX110NC, the Slant community recommends Sony MDRZX110NC for most people. In the question"What are the best budget active noise-cancelling earphones/headphones?" Sony MDRZX110NC is ranked 2nd while Audio-Technica ATH-ANC23 is ranked 5th. The most important reason people chose Sony MDRZX110NC is:
The MDRZX110NC is easy to bring on the go. It can be collapsed to a compact size, making it easy to fit in bags. The headphones are also lightweight.
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Extensive accessory bundle
The ATH-ANC23 offers good value for money due to the extras that you get. The accessory pack includes a carrying pouch, the active noise cancelling in-line control hub, an alkaline battery, an airplane adapter and a number of eartips, including foam ones, which provide a better seal and noise isolation than the standard silicone tips.
Pro Good active noise cancelling
The active noise canceling feature blocks out high and mid frequency noise quite well. Voices and environmental noise aren't likely to interfere with your music. Loud, low-frequency noises like jet engines may still seep through though, so these are not the best for long flights.
Pro Balanced and clear sound
These headphones will sound great with a practically all genres of music. The highs are slightly rolled-off, but still present a good level of detail, so these headphones are not harsh. The mids are warm, while the bass is controlled instead of boomy.
Pro Portable
The MDRZX110NC is easy to bring on the go. It can be collapsed to a compact size, making it easy to fit in bags. The headphones are also lightweight.
Pro Decent noise cancellation
These headphones can filter out a decent amount of ambient noise. The closed back, on-ear design has okay passive noise isolation qualities, while the noise cancelling works great at filtering out mid to high frequency sounds.
Pro Average sound quality
With noise cancelling off, the sound is focused on the highs with lean mids and bass. With noice cancelling activated, the low end is improved, giving you punchy bass, though it is not very powerful.
Con The control unit to earpiece cable may be too short
If you are a tall person, you may have a problem positioning the large active noise cancelling module. The wire connecting the module to the earpieces is quite short. This can make it a little difficult to clip the module to your belt or pocket, which can get annoying.
Con Noise cancelling is not very effective on low-frequency noise
You may still clearly hear low-frequency noise, even with active noise cancelling turned on. The feature is effective on high and mid frequency noise, but not that well on low-frequency sounds. Loud engine noises may still mix in with your music.
Con Bass can be underwhelming
You may find the bass to be unexciting. Even with noise cancelling turned on, you may be underwhelmed by the bass performance, which does not have a lot of thump.
These may be uncomfortable to wear for long hours. There is no padding on the headband, while the cushioning on the ear pads are not very thick.

Fishing for a New York Lighthouse
PETA hopes to catch Old Orchard Lighthouse after submitting their second letter of interest on July 27, 2007 in their quest to establish a National Headquarters for their Fish Empathy Project promoting the protection of fish and aquatic animals from human abuse and slaughter.
Old Orchard Shoal Lighthouse, located three miles southeast of Staten Island in the lower New York Harbor, became available on May 29, 2007 to eligible non-profit organizations who had sixty days to express interest in acquiring the Lighthouse.
The 35-feet high Cast iron "spark plug" style Old Orchard Shoal Lighthouse was First Lit in 1893 exhibiting a Flashing White Light every 15-seconds (12-second flash, 3-second eclipse) and a red sector to mark the dangerous shoal, illuminated by a Fourth-order Fresnel Lens 51-feet above sea level. Old Orchard Shoal Lighthouse served as the Front Range Light which was aligned with the Waakcaack Rear Range Light, located near Keansburg, New Jersey, to mark the narrow Gedney Channel along the eastern shore of Staten Island. In 1950, the Rear Range Light was discontinued when Old Orchard Shoal Light became automated. Currently, Old Orchard Shoal Light exhibits a Flashing White Light every 6-seconds visible to a range of 7 nautical miles with a Red Sector visible to a range of 5 nautical miles.
Despite the fact that Old Orchard Shoal Lighthouse is another dangerous location for the public to visit and eat fake fish food, PETA's Fish Empathy Project defies the common sense of salt-water fish provides a good part of a healthy diet which has been known for thousands of years. A previous post this month examined PETA's claims versus scientific research.
Old Orchard Shoal Lighthouse is best viewed by boat yet, the Lighthouse can be viewed using binoculars from Great Kills Park, Staten Island.

Comic Book review: Age of Apocalypse (2015)
Set in a similar dystopian future realm as the original 1990s comic run of the same name, the Battleworld warzone of Age of Apocalypse sees the titular mutant overlord attempting to quash any rebels that might rise up against his new world order. Apocalypse's ideology is that of 'survival of the fittest' and believes mutants superior to homo-sapiens in every possible way. Apocalypse relies on his loyal horsemen, as well as twisted and villainous versions of otherwise-iconic heroes like Beast to carry out his will.
The 1990s run of Age of Apocalypse spanned practically every conceivable X-Men series of the era, and to this day remains an epic undertaking of the Marvel brand. Therefore, it was inevitable that this 2015 Secret Wars tie-in was destined to fall short of the original's magnificence. With only five issues to deliver its own spin on the Age of Apocalypse narrative, this 2015 story does more 'telling' than it does 'showing', expecting that readers are already familiar with the themes of survival, alliances of necessity, the path of anti-heroes, and fighting for what little hope remains in a bleak future despite overwhelming odds, that were at play in the 1990s run.
Age of Apocalypse significantly shakes up a familiar cast. Iceman, Rogue, Sinister, and Weapon X (aka Wolverine) are all present, but play significantly smaller roles than before. Instead of having a child with Rogue, Magneto is married to Emma Frost, while Captain Marvel, Namor, and other non-mutants are worked into the narrative, but not necessarily in ways that benefit the story. While this new Age of Apocalypse limited series does throw a couple of major curve balls into the mix, the final chapter feels like an afterthought, tacked on as an idea that sounds better in theory than in actual application.
The art style is solid throughout, while the environments are appropriately dark and dreary. However, given that the X-Men and the readers alike are fully aware that Apocalypse's domain is but one of many that make up Battlworld, the dire atmosphere that permeated throughout the 1990s original is almost entirely lost. Age of Apocalypse is a quick read that serves to deliver its own self-contained narrative well enough, but similarly is a tad generic, and lacks the spark of imagination and intrigue sported by some of the other Secret Wars tie-ins.
My rating: 6.5 (out of 10)

As announced in the Summer, 1995 issue of The ABO Reporter, the third annual ABO Research Conference will be held on June 24-25, 1996 at the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. The scope of the conference will be broad and open to all aspects of research into accounting, behavior and organizations. The objective of the conference is to facilitate the interaction and exchange of ideas between the largest possible number of the section's members. The deadline for submitting papers was December 15, 1995, so that the conference schedule should be determined by the beginning of March. The registration deadline is May 15, 1996, after which date a late registration fee applies. A registration form follows. Please note that the submission fee ($50) can only be applied to the registration fee of the author who submitted the paper. (It cannot also be applied to co-authors.)
Airfares to Las Vegas are very competitive and because weekends are the busiest time, a Saturday night stay is typically not required for the best airfares. Las Vegas is just a short flight from Los Angeles and the frequent flights make Las Vegas a convenient connection for international flights into Los Angeles. The American Accounting Association has selected Delta Airlines Inc., as the official air carrier for this conference. Call, or have your travel agent call, (800) 241-6760 and refer to file number P0016. Regular shuttle services run from the airport to the major hotels. The shuttles run 24 hours a day and are located outside the baggage claim area.
The room rate at the Conference hotel is U.S. $52 (single or double) for the week of the conference (Sunday through Thursday), but $85 the Friday and Saturday nights prior to the conference. Please note: the Stardust is unable to accept Saturday arrivals. You must arrive by Friday if you want to stay for the weekend. Given the popularity of Las Vegas as both a convention and tourist site, early hotel reservations are recommended, especially for those persons planning to stay beyond the conference dates. The deadline for room reservations is May 23, 1996, after that date reservations will be accepted on a space-available basis only. The Stardust Hotel reservation number is (800) 634-6757. Please give code ABO 96.
For additional information, please contact the conference chair, Michael Bamber (University of Georgia):

Once you have decided you want to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the next step is to pick the route you want to climb. There are 6 routes on the mountain and each has advantages and disadvantages. However some routes such as the Machame route stand out from the others as being especially beautiful and fun to climb. The six routes are the Machame Route, Shira Route, Lemosho Route, Umbwe Route, Rongai Route and the Marangu Route. Below is a short description of each. To read a full description of each route, including descriptions of the trail from day to day, select the route from the list to the left.
Cost includes all ground fees, 1 night's hotel before and one night's hotel after your climb. No extra local payments need to be made.
Along with the Marangu route, the Machame Route is the most popular on the mountain. Climbers spend good time in each of the vegetation zones on the mountain, seeing some impressive sights along the way such as the Shira Cathedral on the Shira Plateau, the Lava Tower at the foot of the Western Breach and the Barranco Valley on the southern slopes. A climb takes approx 7 days and there is plenty of opportunity to extend this. Traditionally the summit is reached from Stella Point but it can also be reached via the difficult Western Breach should you wish. The route is moderate with a few sections that will get the heart pumping a bit more. During the peak climbing season in July and August this route can get very busy.
The Shira Route is one of 2 that approach Kibo from the west. The route begins by following a 4 wheel drive track up to the Shira Plateau, then a full day is spend crossing the plateau, the most beautiful part of the whole mountain. You will get to see the massive lava structure of the Shira Cathedral up close, something few get to see. A climb takes approx 7 days but there are a number of secluded, remote camps on the Shira Plateau so you can easily extend this. Once you leave the Shira Plateau the path merges with the Machame Route, past the Lava Tower, through the Barranco Valley and on the Stella Point. Summiting via the Western Breach is also an option on this route. This route is moderate throughout apart from a few short, steep sections. When you merge with the Machame Route the volume of climbers can increase dramatically if your climbing peak season.
The Lemosho Route is the other route that approaches Kibo from the west. Since it was opened, it has become the 3rd most popular route on the mountain and a lot of climbers have shifted from the Shira Route to the Lemosho Route (meaning that the Shira Route is now a more peaceful climb). After climbing through the forest and across the Shira Plateau, the Lemosho Route also merges with the Machame Route and so can get busy during the peak season. The western routes were originally the ones from which climbers would summit via the western breach and while this is still a great option, most now loop round the southern slopes and summit via Stella Point. As the forest section on this route is quite long, a climb takes approx 7-8 days.
Without a doubt the toughest way to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro is the Umbwe Route. Approaching from due south, climbers face an opening day of some serious climbing through a very steep section of forest, often climbing over huge tree roots where it's too steep for any real trail. However this is also the most rewarding route on the mountain and offers the climber some of the best views not only of Kibo but also of Mount Meru to the southwest and the plains below. The route works straight up the Barranco Valley where you need to spend a full day acclimatizing due to the height you'll have gained on day 1 and 2. From here you can climb east with the Machame, Shira and Lemosho climbers and summit via Stella Point or for the true hardcore climbers you can continue your northerly climb straight up the Western Breach. Those who opt for this and reach the summit have truly climbed the hardest route on the mountain. The climb takes 6-7 days, including a day for acclimatizing in the Barranco Valley.
The Rongai Route is the only one that approaches Kibo from the north, starting right on the Kenyan Border. For those who want to truly get away from the crowds of climbers, Rongai is the route for you. Take the year 2000 for example. That year, just over 20,0000 people climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and only 130 of those climbed the Rongai Route! Because of the low volume of climbers, your best chance of seeing wildlife on Mount Kilimanjaro is on this route. The climb will take you approx 7 days and we build in an acclimatization day hike to the foot of Mawenzi into our itinerary, where you will have some truly breathtaking views of Kibo that few ever see. The route summits via Gillman's Point, just before Stella point. The Marangu Route is the designated descent for Rongai.
The Marangu Route is the most popular route on the mountain yet it also has the poorest summit rate. The problem is that instead of camping, climbers sleep in huts, which gives people the impression that it makes the climb easier. Because of this the route has been nicknamed the Coca Cola route because it is so "easy". This has led to many trying to climb the route in 5 days instead of 6 or 7. Now for the facts. The Marangu Route starts at approx 6000ft, just like every other route. It also finishes at the summit just like every other route so all people achieve by climbing in 5 days is making their climb much harder! That said the route is a nice one albeit very busy most of the year round. The major disadvantage is that you descend by the exact same path as you summited so you don't get to see more of the mountain. At 4th Summit we pride ourselves in looking after our clients and as such, we don't offer this route as a set departure and would strongly recommend you consider routes other than this one. If you have your heart set on climbing this route we ask that you contact us for a quick chat before booking as well as considering an extra day to acclimatize.

|Doris Day at the Desert Inn in Palm Springs. Photo from acertaincinema.com
Just like the rest of the big stars, Doris Day also came to Palm Springs. She was the Julia Roberts of the 1950s and 60s. In a 2008 New York Times article Kay Ballard had said that she has visited Doris from time to time and that she still looks like Doris Day and referred to her as somewhat reclusive.
Doris lives in Carmel Valley California. She was born in 1922 or 1924 depending upon who you ask. That makes her somewhere in her late 80s. At any rate, she'll be 90 soon.
