When you see the affection, respect, and admiration for this leader, an outpouring of emotion that I can't recall for the departure of any other businessperson or technologist, isn't it natural to think about your own eventual departure, the legacy you'll leave behind, the ways in which your career will be remembered?
Few of us have the chance to achieve 1/100th of what Steve Jobs has achieved. But all work and use it as an opportunity to ask more of ourselves as leaders and innovators with a chance to make a small positive difference for our industry, our customers, and our colleagues.
So if you want to use the end of Steve Jobs's hands-on leadership at Apple to inspire a greater commitment to leadership by you, I'd suggest that you ask these five simple questions — questions that define what it means to be a high-impact leader today.
1. Why should great people want to work with you?
Steve Jobs surrounded himself with remarkably talented designers, retailers, and engineers because he understood that the most talented performers aren't motivated primarily by money or status. Great people want to work on exciting projects. Great people want to feel like impact players. Put simply, great people want to feel like they're part of something greater than themselves — they want to become, to use a favorite Jobs phrase, "insanely great."
2. Do you know a great person when you see one?
It's a lot easier to be the right kind of leader if you're running a team or department filled with the right kind of people. Do you know what makes your star performers tick — and how to find more performers who share those attributes? Steve Jobs was as picky about the people he let into Apple as he was about the features that went into Apple's products.
3. Can you find great people who aren't looking for you?
The most talented performers tend to be in jobs they like, working with people they enjoy, on projects that keep them challenged. So leaders who are content to fill their organizations with people actively looking for jobs risk attracting malcontents and mediocre performers. The trick is to win over so-called "passive" jobseekers. These people may be outside your company, or they may be in a different department from inside your company, but they won't work for you unless you work hard to persuade them to join.
4. Are you great at teaching great people how your team or company works and wins?
Even the most highly focused specialists (software programmers, graphic designers, marketing wizards) are at their best when they appreciate how the whole business operates. That's partly a matter of sharing financial statements: Can every person learn how to think like a businessperson?
5. Are you as tough on yourself as you are on your people?
There's no question that talented and ambitious young people have high expectations — for themselves, for their team or company, for their colleagues. Which is why they can be so tough on their leaders. The ultimate challenge for leaders is to share those same lofty expectations for their own behavior.
You don't have to aspire to be the next Steve Jobs to learn some lessons from his one-of-a-kind career. Perhaps that can be his greatest legacy of all — a generation of leaders who think bigger and aim higher because of what he achieved.
Outpouring: an uncontrollable expression of strong feeling

Jamal Lascelles defends Newcastle United team-mate Joselu
- Author: Fernando Stephens Sep 19, 2017,
Sep 19, 2017, 0:57
The Magpies managed to secure a 2-1 victory over the Potters on Saturday, with Lascelles once again bagging the victor after the defender also notched up the decisive goal in a 1-0 win over Swansea City.
"We are an ambitious bunch of players, a really tight group of lads, and we're friends".
Rafael Benitez has warned his players' such profligacy will be punished by the Premier League's top teams.
While skipper Jamaal Lascelles saved the day by scoring the victor with 20 minutes left to give Newcastle a third straight victory, Benitez was far from pleased at his side's wastefulness.
The United captain perceives it as Newcastle having certain advantages and especially the level of commitment: "We've got the right mentality, we've got the talent".
"We'd be looking around asking, 'Who's going to step up?' It's not like that now". We need to keep that and the only way we do that is through grit, determination and hard work.
"We've been watching videos of Newcastle and then we concede an identical goal to theirs last week".
"We felt comfortable in the second half and when we scored we thought we could go on and win the game".
The Spaniard was getting into good positions in the penalty area, but lacked in finishing to convert any solid chances.
The 23-year-old, who is set to have his contract extended until 2022, told BBC Sport of how the boss makes the team demand so much from each other that there are often arguments during drilling sessions, while tempers could flare as things get heated up and "nasty". "We'll try and get him ready for the weekend. Sometimes we have some problems, but with the chances we can create we know they can give us the points".

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for General Scientific Research (B)
A goal of this study is high radial confinement mode with reduction of edge fluctuation and with formation of sheared plasma rotation by DC electric fields and ICRF wave.The DC limiter biasing experiment showed that a high radial confinement mode similar to H-mode is possible in a tandem mirror plasma. Thus, hysteresis phenomena are found with the azimuthal rotation and its shear in radial edge. This phenomena have been explained by a model from tokamak H-mode analysis, using a momentum balance equation.ICRF wave (1.5MHz) is lauched from high magnetic field side in a two-ion plasma, and contributes to ion heating by slow wave (m=+1 mode) and that via mode convesion from fast wave (m=-1 mode) into slow wave. With end plate biasing, reduction of drift wave fluctuation in edge plasma, an increase of bulk density and diamagnetism and the hysteresis phenomena, which is similar to that of limiter biasing, are observed. In the combination of ion heating by ICRF wave (1.5MHz) and end plate biasing, a plasma with density - 1.2*10^<13>cm^<-3> and beta value 4.7% is produced and the effects of end plate biasing in the heating plasma are confirmed.In He plasma with density - 1.0*10^<12>cm^<-3>, radial rotation is enhanced and coherent fluctuation in edge plasma reduces by non-resonant ICRF wave. The azimuthal rotation in edge region is observed. This rotation velocity is explained by E*B rotation velocity which is measured by a Langmuir probe. By increase of non-resonant ICRF wave, increase of edge fluctuation and radial diffusion of particle are observed.

Tearing ourselves away from the festive Blackadder, we return to another favourite – a true giant of comic writing and who is sadly no longer with us.
Dougals Adams created The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which had its first radio airing in 1978. This morphed into a trilogy of 5 books which since has sold 15 million copies, a TV series and a Hollywood movie made too (after his death).
The sheer scale of his diverse comic talent is surely unparalleled in this or any other universe. Who else would have taking a mundane every-day item, such as a towel, and transforming it in to the "most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have"; where else could the number "42" achieve such universally intergalactic importance being the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything"
So long Douglas and thanks for all the fish!

The Position of the Abomasum in the First Six Weeks After Calving
© The Author(s); licensee BioMed Central Ltd. 2003
- Published: 31 March 2003
- Osmotic Pressure
- Abdominal Cavity
- Feed Intake
- Abdominal Organ
- Circadian Variation
In the highly pregnant cow the abomasum is forced to the cranial and ventral part of the abdomen by the gravid uterus. After calving, the abomasum is located at the left ventral part of the abdominal cavity. This mechanism is assumed to be one of the factors contributing to the pathogenesis of abomasal displacement (AD).
In the present investigation, the changes of the position of the abomasum were studied in 6 Holstein-Friesian cows by transabdominal ultrasonography in the first 6 weeks after calving. The position of the abomasum was determined via measuring the distance between the abomasal wall being visible by examination of the left abdominal wall and the ventral midline. (The precision of this measurement had been determined earlier by examination of 5 additional cows in intervals during a 24-hour period). Samples of rumen juice were taken via a Sørensen-Schambye probe for determination of the pH-value and the osmotic pressure.
The reproducibility of the measurements was determined via calculating the coefficient of variation. The position of the abomasum in relation to the number of days post partum, feed intake and the pH-value and osmotic pressure of the rumen fluid was estimated via regression analysis. After the analysis, a backward stepwise linear regression was performed to determine combined influences on the position of the abomasum.
A circadian, diurnal variation was observed in the position of the abomasum. After correcting for the circadian variation, a 0,136 coefficient of variation was determined for the method of measurement of the position of the abomasum.
With respect to the left body wall, the position of the abomasum was highest in the first days after calving; the height declined during the following weeks. The abomasum was found to form a blind pocket near the left body wall.
Feed intake, pH-value and osmotic pressure of rumen juice influenced the position of the abomasum. After backward stepwise linear regression the influence of the feed intake was not significant, since feed intake was closely related with the number of days postpartum.
The results show that ultrasonography is a good non-invasive method for determining the position of the abomasum. Measurements of the position of the abomasum are reproducible. The presence of a blind pocket formed by a part of the abomasum is more evident when the organ has a high position. There is a relation between the number of days after calving, pH-value and osmotic pressure of the rumen juice and the position of the abomasum.
These findings support the hypothesis that the shift of the abdominal organs after calving could form an important factor in the pathogenesis of AD. The presence of the abomasum on the left side of the abdominal cavity after calving and the declining height with time could explain why AD to the left side preferentially occurs within the first weeks after calving.

17 Feb 2015, by Test1 Test1
Africa is showing great promise in its strategies to approach ferrous metal beneficiation to maximise the utility of existing ore deposits. South Africa is leading the way after President Jacob Zuma announced an official government strategy in 2011, stating 'beneficiation was a priority in order for the country to 'reap the full benefits of its abundance of commodities'.
While there are a number of challenges for implementing these new initiatives, the benefits of overcoming these hurdles is likely to be extremely lucrative over the long term.
We spoke with Dr Liming Lu, Principal Research Scientist leading CSIRO Mineral Resources Flagship's research in iron ore sintering and pelletising, as he prepares to travel to South Africa for the 2nd Iron Ore Beneficiation Africa conference. Dr Lu will share his expertise in the evaluation of iron ore for iron ore production.
CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, is Australia's national science agency and one of the largest and most diverse research agencies in the world.
Firstly, could you tell us a little about CSIRO's Mineral Resources Flagship activities and how CSIRO works and engages with industry?
The CSIRO Mineral Resources National Research Flagship, formerly the Minerals Down Under Flagship, was established in 2007 to provide a national platform to focus Australian research at scale and across the breadth of the innovation system. This enables a focus on the key challenges facing the minerals industry in Australia and the ability to build links to the global market place for Australian innovation. While our focus is on optimising outcomes for Australia, our project portfolio is global in scope. It conducts research across the mineral industry value chain from greenfield exploration to mine site rehabilitation. This alignment has helped us to work and engage with industry broadly. Almost half of the annual budget is derived from external revenue from our industry partners.
The pilot-scale sintering facility at the Queensland Centre for Advanced Technologies is an integral part of your team's work, to develop technologies that can unlock Australia's lower-grade, but plentiful, iron ore resources. Can you tell us about the sintering facility, the aims and objectives for the centre and how success is measured?
The Queensland Centre for Advanced Technologies (QCAT) is a collaboration between CSIRO and the State Government of Queensland to expand and diversify the research and development activities undertaken by CSIRO in Queensland. The Centre commenced operation in 1992 and was officially opened in 1993. Following the construction of new facilities, Stage Two was opened in 2000. Over the years, QCAT has provided a synergistic environment for ground breaking research, innovation and technology development between research providers, government institutions and industry. It is Australia's largest integrated research and development precinct for the resources and associated advanced technology industries and has attracted tenants from CSIRO, research providers and industry partners.
CSIRO has developed sophisticated laboratory and pilot scale facilities for fundamental and applied research in sintering and pelletising. The pilot scale sintering facility is one of the key facilities to carry out sintering research under simulated conditions occurring in the industry process. It is fully automated and instrumented with sensors for measuring temperature, flow, pressure and gas composition, and has been widely used for maximising resource utilisation, developing new technologies for counteracting rising gangue minerals and investigating emission reduction technologies.
What are the most promising techniques and technologies that you and your team are currently examining through the pilot-scale facility?
One of the key areas that the QCAT Carbon Steel Futures Group has been working on is to the development of technologies and relationships to link ore characteristics with their downstream processing performance. This requires not only advanced characterisation techniques that provide results that are consistent and relevant to the downstream processing performance, but also a large database. The Group's pilot scale facilities are an integral part of this initiative to extend our existing database and validate the research findings.
Rising ore alumina content is another key focus of the Group as alumina has a significant impact on the productivity and energy efficiency of iron making processes. Empowered by the pilot scale facilities, the Group is currently working on various techniques for alumina reduction and counteracting the adverse impacts of alumina on the sintering and ironmaking processes.
There are a number of challenges associated with implementing beneficiation initiatives, for example processes are often high in energy and water requirements. From your understanding, are there any techniques and technologies that you see potential for being utilised in Africa ferrous projects?
Historically, South African iron ore producers are among the leaders in deploying available technologies to improve the process performance and reduce cost and water consumption. Dry separation technologies, such as air classifiers and dry magnetic separation, may find applications in areas where water is scarce. Fine grinding technologies have also been successfully used in the base metal and nonferrous industries to reduce the energy consumption of grinding significantly. Depending on the characteristics of the resources available, the suitability of these technologies in iron ore processing need to be reviewed.
"Blend optimisation is key for the sintering process" Can you elaborate further on this?
Due to the ongoing demand and increasing depletion of high-grade iron ore resources from large deposits around the world, iron ore producers worldwide are developing smaller size deposits to maintain current export levels. On the other hand, it is almost impossible to produce a high performance sinter mixture displaying the required characteristics from one single ore. Blending is therefore one of the most effective options being used, not only by iron ore producers to ensure the long term stability of their products while increasing production, but also by the steel industry to reduce operation costs while maintaining process performance. However, due to the interactions between the component ores, the performance of the resultant blend can be very different from the summation of the blend components. Blend optimisation involves the design of a blend by selecting the blend components to support each other to achieve the required overall balanced metallurgical performance of the final product at a relatively low cost. To do so, a fundamental understanding of the key characteristics of iron ore fines and their interactions is required, which is also one of the key areas we are researching.
What conversations are you looking forward to having with your industry peers at the 2nd Iron Ore Beneficiation Africa?
I look forward to meeting and talking to our South African counterparts on their experience in upgrading and utilising their resources and the challenges they are facing in processing their resources. I also hope that some will accept an offer to visit our facilities in Brisbane, Australia and see at first hand what we have to offer.
Informa Australia is the nation's leading event organiser. Our events comprise of large scale exhibitions, industry conferences and highly specialised corporate training.

— Diane Moomey
Days and nights we walked your garden —
spent petals of camellia softened our steps.
Our moon fell and rose, our shadows
on your perfect stucco walls; our arms
fell and rose in cadence with our words,
the perfect rhythm of our words, their brimming
pools flooding the parched years
of our silence.
When we parted, I took a stone.
My own garden, your stone warm
in my hand. A blossom falls, finished,
and wrapped in its pink heart lies one
of your words. Gardenia, saucer
beneath its pot; I tip the water out.
What spatters on the flags
is the joke you told.
Our moon rises — I hear again
the story of your dream.

Proverbs 19 – 19
A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment : for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
1 Peter 4 : 12 – 14
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you :
But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings ; that, when his glory will be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye, for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you : on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
Some people need an attitude adjustment when they talk about sick people. I have heard people say that the person got the kind of illness he deserved in life. Christ suffered greatly for our sins and he certainly did not deserve the punishment that he was dealt. God does not punish his loved ones with horrible diseases it is just part of nature that eventually we get illnesses and diseases that will eventually kill us.
I cannot stand it when people are so rude and impolite to people that are dying from a horrible illness. The person that has the disease is actually a wonderful, kind,caring and compassionate human being. People try to categorize people into neat little packages they think they know how to unwrap and what makes that person the way they are.
Those of you without sin let you cast the first stone and as you already know no one is without sin. Diseases and illnesses come to us in all of our life's stages. We did not ask for the disease or illness to stand out in the crowd we want to blend in with the crowd just as we did when we were teenagers.
Do not judge or make fun of ill or sick people you will be their yourself someday and probably a lot sooner then you ever imagined possible. Show the love of God to the sick and ill so they can find peace in this world before they pass on.

I like to share this with all of you, Getting my Business Cards for my Book on amazon.
I been passing them out to people, but when I first started passing them out I just felt unease , I am not us to talking to people , but I know being an author I will have to get used to talking to people . So the way I been passing my business card to people is asking them if I can share something with them and hand them the card then I tell them it is a book on amazon, sometimes they ask me , what is it about, I just tell them it is a sci-fi adventure book. then they thank me then head off.
I like to know from you guys and gals how do you get your card to people ,what do you say to them.

Dennis Roop, PhD, director of the Gates Center for Regenerative Medicine at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus (second from left), was the featured guest at the Atlantic magazine luncheon. Other guests included, from left, Nancy Brown, CEO of the American Heart Association; Kevin Vigilante, senior vice president and chief medical officer of Booz Allen Hamilton; and Judy Woodruff, co-anchor and managing editor of the PBS Newshour.

By Chris Casey | University Communications
ASPEN, Colo. – The conversation delved into induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs), viral vectors, cytoplasm and other high science. But at the heart of a roundtable on regenerative medicine was the ground-breaking research taking place at the new Gates Biomanufacturing Facility (GBF) on the CU Anschutz Medical Campus.
CU Anschutz's Dennis Roop, PhD, was the featured guest at a June 27 Spotlight Health-Aspen Ideas Festival luncheon that included 20 of the nation's top leaders in health care as well as journalists Judy Woodruff, co-anchor of the PBS Newshour, and Corby Kummer, senior editor of The Atlantic magazine.
Testament to the influence and leadership of the CU Anschutz Medical Campus, the gathering sought out the insights of Roop, who was recruited from Baylor College of Medicine in 2007 to be director of the Gates Center for Regenerative Medicine.
The 14,000-square-foot GBF, which operates as a cost-neutral auxiliary service center of the CU School of Medicine, opened this spring and is located in the Bioscience Park Center. As Roop has noted, the proximity of the GBF to the CU Anschutz Medical Campus is a huge benefit, as scientists and clinicians are now able to walk across the street, manufacture their product, and walk it back to the hospitals for clinical use.
The facility has been called a "game-changer" for the CU Anschutz Medical Campus, as well as Colorado. It is expected to help develop patient treatments faster, allowing researchers to fully develop ideas from bench to bedside.
'Ultimate precision medicine'
Roop told the gathering that there are only six facilities in the nation with the capacity to both grow patient cells and produce protein-based products. "We're the only one within an 800-mile radius of Denver," he said. "It's the ultimate in precision medicine."
The facility has a vision for breakthroughs, Roop said, and currently involves a consortium of 76 member researchers representing CU Anschutz Medical Campus, CU Boulder, National Jewish Health, Colorado State University, Colorado School of Mines and private industry.
The GBF offers cell therapy and protein/biologics manufacturing rooms, along with cell and protein development laboratories. Overseen by expert staff, the facility offers process development and scale-up from bench to bedside, manufacturing of both cell therapy and protein-based products to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, and thorough process documentation.
Much of the conversation at the June 27 luncheon focused on the science behind, and the bioethical issues around, stem cell regeneration. Fifteen years ago, President George W. Bush put restrictions on research on stem cells collected from embryos, arguing that the practice devalued human life.
Roop explained that using IPSCs –- adult stem cells — removes that controversy, plus they offer a lower likelihood of rejection.
"(With IPSCs) not only does it get around the ethical and political issues of destroying an early fertilized human embryo to generate embryonic stem cells, but the IPS technology is better medicine because you actually take the biopsies from the same patient you want to treat," Roop said. "We don't know yet, but we think (in the future) we won't have to worry about immune rejection and using immune-suppressant drugs."
'Skin is a great target'
Roop hopes to translate his research of inherited skin fragility syndromes, or blistering skin disease, which can be fatal, into one of the first clinical-grade trials out of the GBF. "Skin is a great target because it's visible, you can monitor it, and there's currently no cure for these diseases," he said.
Other luncheon guests noted, and Roop acknowledged, how long it takes to get through the Food and Drug Administration's rigorous clinical trial process.
Roop said skin blistering research holds promise to also help military veterans who suffer from chronic wounds. "We know they exhaust the ability of their skin's stem cells to repair themselves," he said. "So this (treatment), once you've shown it's safe, could be used as a way to treat chronic wounds and avoid the lengthy hospital stays and medical bills."
A luncheon member asked if the IPS technology has potential for regenerating organs throughout the body. It does, Roop said. "Scientists now have been able to differentiate these IPS cells into essentially every tissue type just like you can differentiate embryonic stem cells into different tissue types."
Along with the IPSC technology are recent advancements that allow scientists to genetically correct defects in embryonic DNA, Roop said. "Genome editing has come along in parallel with this ability to reprogram adult cells."
When discussion shifted into the challenges of securing funding for stem cell research, Nancy Brown, CEO of the American Heart Association, observed that it's a subject that can be difficult to make salient for both policy makers and wider audiences. "Some of the advances are so sci-fi that they're very hard to explain to the public," she said.
Another luncheon guest commented that the politically sensitive topic of stem cells, regardless of whether they originate from adult or embryonic tissue, is likely to continue to generate pause among policy makers and grantors alike. "Just because embryonic cells have now been put to the side, it doesn't mean that the ethical issues" go away, he said.
Later in the day on June 27, Roop held "Executive Office Hours" on The Aspen Institute campus about the work of the Gates Biomanufacturing Facility and the Gates Center for Regenerative Medicine.
He said he enjoyed having an audience with such a high-profile group of thinkers over lunch. "It was great to get feedback from them, especially concerning public perception and the bioethics aspect."
Aspen Ideas Festival
The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus was a presenting underwriter of the 2015 Aspen Ideas Festival's three-day Spotlight Health series. Leading physicians and scholars from the CU Anschutz Medical Campus shared their insights and research with 1,000-plus attendees from June 25-28.
The high-profile Spotlight Health forum is an ideal platform on which to raise the profile of the CU Anschutz Medical Campus.
"The festival takes place in Aspen, our own backyard, and attracts attendees from around the country and the world," said Leanna Clark, vice chancellor of University Communications. "The Spotlight Health focus ensures that we are getting the Anschutz Medical Campus brand in front of the foremost academics, policy makers, practitioners, industry executives, philanthropists and concerned citizens, and engaging them in the conversation to transform health and health care."
The Aspen Institute invited a group of "Spotlight Scholars" to attend the conference in recognition of their academic accomplishments and ability to translate ideas into action. Four scholars represented the CU Anschutz Medical Campus: Brandi Freeman, MD, assistant professor, Pediatrics-General Pediatrics; Jason Stoneback, MD, Department of Orthopedics; Roberta Capp, assistant professor, Emergency Medicine; and Christopher Porter, MD, assistant professor, Pediatrics-Hematology/Oncology.

Obama ethics czar on Ivanka's new White House job: 'Nepotism statute' applies
The lawyer who oversaw ethics for the Obama administration has indicated that he thinks Ivanka Trump's new White House role does violate nepotism rules.
During a recent appearance on CNN, Norman Eisen told Anderson Cooper, "My view, and it's a bipartisan view—Professor [Richard] Painter, the Bush ethics czar agrees with me—is that the nepotism statute does apply."
Eisen added, "In both the Bush and Obama administration, for decades, the Justice Department held yes, the nepotism statute does applies to the White House office."
However, he admitted, "It's a murky area....President Trump got an opinion from the Justice Department that the nepotism statute doesn't apply to his White House. We disagree with that opinion, but we recognize that reasonable minds can disagree."
Late last year, Eisen and Painter wrote an op-ed in the New York Times speculating that the president could try to skirt the anti-nepotism law, enacted in 1967, by placing family members in informal roles at the White House.
In fact, Ivanka Trump had recently indicated that she was planning to become an informal adviser to her father, which prompted critics to voice their concerns about potential ethics problems.
But CNN is reporting that she has instead decided to become a government employee, making her subject to laws governing all federal workers.

On to The Next One:Crooks and Castles
After losing faith in Married to The Mob, i decided to fall in love with the Crooks and Castles family. i have always loved anything they did for their men's line and so when they branched into the female world, i was excited. That pull over has one white sleeve and the other purple. The uncertainty of the whole pull over makes me love it even more. I'm glad crooks are doing their thing and till i find something better, i'm a crooks and castles girl for now.

Hope Never Dies
I took this picture whilst driving home from work at 3am...i know it sounds crazy but half the time there's no one on this highway. I always wonder if something should ever happen, who would be around to help. On this faithful day, after being stressed out from school, work, i saw a car with it tail light's far ahead of me but yet still not too far for me not to see it.
It occurred to me that there will always be light at the end of the tunnel. No matter what you go through just hope and know that it never last's forever. As long as you have hope, there will always be brighter day....
I have lived with this phrase most of my adult life, and that hope i have never dies. there are a lot of stuff people go through but they never talk about and i'm one of those. My life has been far from perfect but will i ever trade it in? no, never that. I wake up looking forward to a brighter day everyday and looking at this picture reminds me that, there's always light at the end of the tunnel.
If you are reading through this and going through anything, i hope you keep your head up and always remember to surround yourself with people who truly love you, because they are the one's who will always be there, even if it's just one person.

Sky Is The Limit....
I met Anthony whilst we both worked at the company that i work for now. He always used to show up in these torn up pair of high top Vans. i was surprised to actually find out that he even knew what Vans were. A couple of months down the line, he started school and had to work as well. usually he would have time to change before coming into work but one day he didn't have the time to change. he showed up at work in a red polo button up, a pair of levi's and matching red polo kicks. i knew me and him would be friends after that.lol.
i asked to profile him, and the first thing he said was, "this is gonna be your best so far, and i'm the first too? Cmon!!!" i laughed at his statement but it did not bother me one bit because he has always had his confidence level through the roof.
He wears his hair in Dreads, short and of course he is a proud child of Sudanese parents. In a little interview i had whilst taking these pictures, he told me he lived in Egypt for 8 years, and i believe this was due to the war situation in his born country.
I asked him how he got into street wear and sneakers, his response was back in Egypt he just grew to love them, and he remembers paying a hundred dollars for a pair of shoes and he loved them dearly and that's how his love for them started.
He lets me know that back in middle school he had the opportunity of having only one pair of shoes every year, and this was a pair of FUBU's he had. He really did not like them but that was the rule in the house and by his parents.
From that day on he decided that when he grew up and was able to work, he would not let anything deter him from getting whatever he wanted especially sneakers.
Anthony is only 19, currently in Nashville State College, and drives a 2006 Ford Mustang. At 19, he is currently not sure of what he wants to be in future. He mentioned that he wanted to be a doctor, but it will take a minute.
i admire his attitude to life, he is confident, gets what he wants and most importantly, he will never let you forget that is African. How would you forget? his skin tone show's it.lol.
i received a text from Anthony this week telling me he bought 6 pairs of shoes last week, and right before i posted this up, he bought another pair of Supra's on karmaloop. A Sneaker Addict, a friend, a dope style on his own with his dread locks, ladies and gentlemen i present my friend Anthony Lasu.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
No one is suggesting that life in the Gaza Strip is sunshine, lollipops and rainbows (to cite a famous song). But to hear the mainstream international media describe it, the coastal enclave on Israel's southern Mediterranean border is the most destitute and oppressed scrap of land on the face of the planet. A lot of that has to do with Israel itself, but not for the reasons one might immediately assume.

text: It was just last week that we saw that Emma Stone and Steve Carell's latest film Battle of the Sexes was selected for the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival, but I find myself wondering if there will be other independent premieres outside of the festival circuit. The film was also rumored to be selected for the Venice Film Festival, but it was not. There are still the New York and London Film Festivals, but with a mid-September release date, I think that those film festivals will be out of the question. After showcasing the film at TIFF I would love to see the cast take the film on the road and have independent premieres for the film in LA and London. I already made my wish for Emma to wear a gorgeous Elie Saab gown for an LA premiere, and I picked an even more dramatic look for her to wear in London. I put this black and gold Atelier Versace Fall 2017 Couture embroidered halter gown on my 20 Must See Red Carpet Look From Fall 2017 Couture list and it was Emma who I said that I really wanted to see wearing this gown on the red carpet. It was Emma that immediately came to mind when I saw this gown in the collection lookbook on Vogue.com and I think that she would definitely bring this look to life on a red carpet. Emma's blonde hair throws me, and I am really hoping that as she heads into fall festival, and subsequently awards season, that we see her return to her red locks. I think that the red hair would compliment this gown much more so than the blonde. Adding a pair of black Christian Louboutin 'Christervia' silk ribbon strappy sandals, gold set diamond cluster earrings, a red lip, and a wavy romantic updo would ensure that this is an absolutely beautiful moment.

Having Hope at Home
by David S. Craig
Directed by Alain Chamsi
September 14 - 18 & 21 - 25, 2010 at 8pm
Carolyn has hired a midwife to help with the imminent birth of her first child in her drafty rural home in midwinter. Her father and mother are due for dinner at the precise time the first labour pains are felt. Dad is a noted gynecologist with the settled belief that a well equipped hospital is where births, especially that of his first grandchild, should occur. Modern medicine meets midwifery head on in this funny and heartwarming comedy.
The Taming of the Shrew
by William Shakespeare
Directed by Jim Holmes
November 9 - 13 & 16 - 20, 2010 at 8pm
The bard returns to the Kanata Theatre stage for the first time in ten years. Kate squares off against Petruchio in this early and brilliant treatment of the war of the sexes. Who triumphs?You may think you know how it ends, but things aren't always as they seem. Shakespeare's enduring and beloved comedy gets a striking new treatment in Kanata Theatre's production.
Jenny's House of Joy
by Norm Foster
Directed by Jon Alkan
February 1 - 5 & 8 - 12, 2011 at 8pm
Canada and Kanata's most popular playwright is back. It is 1870 in the American midwest. The setting is a house of, well, "joy". The four women who staff the establishment are joined by a seemingly naive, refined young woman who feels she can learn the profession, although at first blush she would appear to be totally unsuited to it. The new recruit shows surprising aptitude for her new occupation. The consequences are both funny and dramatic.
Cash on Delivery
by Michael Cooney
Directed by Rosemary Keneford
March 22 - 26 & March 29 - April 2 at 8pm
It appears that Eric has been scamming the government by intercepting and cashing the benefit cheques of a number of fictitious lodgers. A government auditor is on the way who will surely expose the scheme. Eric's only route of escape is to "kill" off the people he has invented. He enlists the unwilling help of Norman, a real lodger. Naturally if anything can go wrong it does. This zany farce is guaranteed to keep you in stitches.
A Few Good Men
by Aaron Sorkin
Directed by Shelagh Mills
May 10 - 14 & 17 - 21, 2011 at 8pm
Guantanamo Bay is at the centre of this gripping play. A cynical lawyer is persuaded to take seriously the defence of two young marines charged with the death of a third. Did the accused act on their own? Were they obeying an unwritten code of honour? If so, does this relieve them of responsibility for their actions? If they are not guilty, who is? The tension never lets up in this classic court drama.
And for the holiday season . . .

Կարգին Սերիալ (Kargin Serial) 2013-04-27 Արմենիա ՀԸ, հումորային հաղորդաշար։
Well Known KARGIN SERIAL has been one of the #1-rated sitcom on television for five of the past six seasons. It's a comedy about men, women, sex, dating, divorce, mothers, single parenthood, money, love and friendship. Vardan Karagozyan is a lovelorn Real Estate millionaire with an innocence born out of his lifelong dependence on others to take care of him. After a failed attempt to drown himself in the ocean after his wife kicked him out, a suicidal Vardan stumbles into a Luxury house, where tightly-wound, twice-divorced chiropractor Arkadi Karagozyan and his underachieving teenage son, Aramik, had been living with Adik's now-deceased brother for the past eight years. With no place to go, Vardan buys the house and invites Adik to remain there, saving Adik from having to move in with his narcissistic, emotionally toxic mother, Seda. Vardan asks Jema, a domineering, unapologetically blue-collar housekeeper who has been working in the household, to stay as well. Despite his unsuccessful history with women, Adik unexpectedly finds himself mentoring Vardan, who has severely limited dating experience. While Vardan, Adik and Aramik adjust to their new living arrangement, they create a surrogate family unit that promises to make each a better man.

Bond fans be warned. MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD.
The Bond films have seen their various second-tier Bond girls meet gruesome fates. Corinne Dufour mauled to death by Dobermans in "Moonraker", the Countess von Schlaf run over in "For Your Eyes Only", Bond's Japanese wife Aki killed by string-dripped poison in "You Only Live Twice".
The most famous however remains that of Jill Masterson, the blonde beauty who betrays her employer and ends up dying of skin suffocation after her unconscious nude body is painted entirely in gold in "Goldfinger".
Now, the new 007 movie "Quantum of Solace" features a death similar to that iconic classic. 22-year-old actress Gemma Arterton plays Agent Fields, an agent who works at the British consulate in Bolivia who is ordered to keep an eye on a renegade Bond. The pair get involved before he moves on to main Bond girl Camille (Olga Kurylenko).
The Daily Mail now has several photos of Fields's fate – she is drowned in crude oil and her lifeless body is left draped over a bed in a Miami hotel room.
Director Marc Foster positioned the body as to be deliberately reminiscent of actress Shirley Eaton's golden pose in 1964's "Goldfinger". Click the photo below for more shots and quotes from Arterton about working with Daniel Craig:

The US Marine Corps was established November 10, 1775 to serve on both land and sea to protect American interests around the world. The USMC has served in US Wars on the battlefields, from the sea and air. In the 1970's the Marine Corps played a key role the in the development of the Rapid Development Force, a multi-service organization created to insure a flexible, timely military response around the world when needed.
The Marine Security Guards serve our U.S. embassies around the world. The US Marine Corps' flexible and rapid response have included many non-combatant evacuation operations in Liberia and Somalia and humanitarian lifesaving operations in Bangladesh, the Philippines and Northern Iraq.
Today's Marine Corps stands ready to continue in the proud tradition of those who so valiantly fought and died at Belleau Wood, Iwo Jima, the Chosin Reservoir and Khe Sanh. Combining a long and proud heritage of faithful service to the nation, with the resolve to face tomorrow's challenges will continue to keep the Marine Corps the "best of the best."

|MEBT and D-Plate Control System Status of the Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator
Funding: This work has been partially funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, under projects OPTIMHAC FIS2013-40860-R and IFMIF-EVEDA II. Ref: AIC-A-2011-0654.
Linear IFMIF* Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc), Rokkasho, Japan, comprises a succession of devices and systems that accelerate a deuteron beam up to 9 MeV with a current of 125 mA, generating a power of 1.125 MW, and transport it up to a beam dump. The beam power becomes critical from the point of view of losses; even tiny losses must be avoided. This fact, and the complexity of the accelerator operation, requires a coherent strategy when designing, commissioning and optimizing the accelerator control system, specifically focused in the control systems of the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) and the Diagnostic Plate (DP, a movable set of diagnostics). Both systems are essential to validate the performance of the accelerator and particularly the ion source, Radio Frequency (RF) and Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) systems. This contribution will describe the recent advances in the control architectures and the EPICS based developments achieved in MEBT for the motion control of bunchers and scrapers, control of the power supplies in quadrupoles and steerers, and refrigeration and vacuum. Besides, control of fluorescence profile monitors (FPMs) in the D-Plate is displayed.
*IFMIF, the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility, is an accelerator-based neutron source that will use Li (d, xn) reactions to generate a flux of neutrons with a broad peak at 14 MeV.

Numbers 21:1-9
"And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.
And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.
¶ And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived."
The children of Israel were not long from Egypt's bondage. They had been delivered through the Red Sea, they had witnessed Moses' sister Miriam praise the Lord after their great deliverance. They had witnessed Aaron's failure with the golden calf, his restoration into the priesthood of the tabernacle and then his death. They had witnessed manna from Heaven, and had forgotten how God had slaked their thirst with water pouring from a rock. They began to complain about where they were in God. At that point, God sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. The people asked Moses for intercede for them to the Lord…And the Lord told him to build a brass pole with the image of a snake and told anyone that had been bitten to look at it. God miraculously healed anyone that beheld the brazen serpent on the pole. The people revered this brasswork. This scripture does not indicate forgiveness for murmuring against God. Upon hearing of someone being bitten, the Levites were busy running from dusty periphery to the ends of the camp, acres upon acres upon hearing of someone being bitten by these venomous snakes. It became the forerunner of the symbol universally used to represent the medical profession, the medical cadeuce. Everyone lived. But what it does not say is as important. Fast forward 800 years to the time of King Hezekiah of Judah. 800 years.
2 Kings 18:1-5
"Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father did.
He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.
He trusted in the LORD God of Israel;…"
This brass serpent would become a superstitious talisman for the Israelites. They would revere it. It would remain in the house of Israel for hundreds of years, though the time of the judges to the anointing of Saul as King, David to Solomon to Rehoboam, up to king Hezekiah (a contemporary of Isaiah). Its original meaning long lost as Israel become more and more "contemporary". This brazen serpent had become a stone of stumbling to the children of Israel. They had been burning incense to a memory of what God had done in their past with mixed worship of idols. Their worship of the Lord was based upon ancient history. Nehushtan was only a reminder of what God did in the past. They worshipped the "good old days", the memory of God meeting the needs of the people.
Perhaps they thought they would please the Lord in this way. They were so backslidden in their ways and so far removed from actually having their needs met by the Lord that they were burning incense to an archaic lifeless icon, one dead, with no life. It was no longer a healing source, but now merely a PIECE of BRASS.
Do you want a piece of Brass or a Piece of Bread?
A Piece of Bread
John 6:28-40
"Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day."
This dialogue occurred immediately after Jesus had fed the five thousand. Jews desiring to do the "works of the Lord" came to Him seeking the ability to do the works of God. Notice they wanted the power or ability to do the works of God. They were not seeking a work of the heart, but of power. Their motives were not pure. They did not understand that Jesus represented a new and better Kingdom on this earth. The Jews clearly did not understand that the greatest work they could possibly do would be to believe on him whom he hath sent (v28-29).
What Jesus was saying in plain language was they must believe that He was the Son of God. Much like our own response would be, theirs was "PROVE IT" and do it by giving a sign. These Jews had hearts as carnal as those in the wilderness with Moses. Jesus told them that he was that true Bread from Heaven, NOT like the manna in the wilderness. He said He was and is the source of life, saying, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. There is finality in the word, never. It means that if you believe that Jesus is who He said He is you will NEVER hunger, and NEVER thirst. I read no conditions to it. If and when you come to Jesus Christ, you will NEVER again hunger. You will NEVER again thirst. You will never need to offer some kind of work to prove His power is working in you, whether it be to please Him, or just to get on His "good" side!
John 3:7-21
"Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."
Jesus mentions the phrase "he that came down from heaven", a familiar phrase. He alone can protect us from the fiery darts of doubt and despair we encounter in our walk with God. We may walk in the wilderness, and we may be struck by venomous adversaries , but we are helped by looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.
Jesus has offered Himself as the brazen serpent for our broken and needy lives. We MUST look to him in order to live. We have no other choice. Such an easy work to do. Jesus said, He that believeth on him is not condemned.
What a wonderful place to be! To not be condemned! To know that you are NOT condemned for your sins that are past! Jesus is our bread of life. Jesus is our source of healing for brokenness of our spirit.
Mark 2:14-28; Luke 5:29-39; 6:1-5
"And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him. And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance…
Jesus ate and drank WITH us when we did not really know him. He fellowships us after we have come to him. In our broken and needy conditions, when we fail even in our OWN standards, He still calls us, sits with us, and breaks bread and wine with us.
And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?
How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?
And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath."
David was a desperate man. He had been running from Saul for a long time. He was tired. He was hungry. He was discouraged. And he did something unheard of by going in to the tabernacle and eating bread normally prepared exclusively for the priesthood. What would cause a person after God's own heart to enter into a holy place with God to do something He was otherwise forbidden to do?
The answer is, he had need.
Jesus will allow you to be unconventional. He will let you come to him when your world is falling apart. He will let you into the tabernacle even if it is only to look upon him to save your life! He will allow you to be totally unconventional or completely original in your quest to have your needs met by Him. He may allow you into His holy presence suddenly, confronting you with bread to feed your soul. You will NEVER be hungry there. You will NEVER be thirsty there!
God is not merely a piece of brass. He is not a physical substance. He is not a building, an organization, a form or a fashion. God is not just a memory of good things gone by, or the "good old days". He is not gathering dust in the corner of the tabernacle.
David found bread in the tabernacle. When all else failed he knew he could find bread in the tabernacle of God. It doesn't matter WHAT your condition or need; Jesus is our bread. He it is that meets our needs when we look upon Him.
He promised that he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst
Please, don't settle for a piece of Brass. Nehushtan will never be good enough for the child of God. Settle instead for Bread that nourishes and strengthens. "He that eateth of THIS bread shall live FOREVER"
Do YOU want a piece of brass, or a piece of bread?
"You've heard his voice", Barry McGuire


text:
Recently I spent an extended amount of time with some friends at their house. I love these people very much but at the end of my time there my spirit felt shredded and my soul down in the dumps. Why? Because of the way they spoke about other people.
Whenever they talked about a person that was not present with us in the room, inevitably it turned into a litany of that person's faults:
"He is a know-it-all…"
"She doesn't have to work for a living…"
"If only that teen knew the value of money…"
"He's so vain and is caught up in all the latest fashion…"
"Those two don't know the first thing about parenting…"
On and on it went. After each conversation, I felt bogged down in a sea of negativity and could not easily shake the dark, heavy cloud that had settled around me.
I also wondered what they said about me when I was absent from their company.
The Harm of Gossip
Scripture warns us not to gossip. In Ephesians 4:29-32 we hear:
Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up, as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption. Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice, and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.
In the Old Testament book of Sirach are these sobering words:
Curse the gossips and the double-tongued, for they destroy the peace of many.
Slander…has destroyed strong cities, and overturned the houses of the great.
Most of us know that gossip is not good. But what can we do about our unruly tongues? How can we curb this vice?
3 Filters to Use
Amy Carmichael, a lay missionary in India who rescued abandoned and abused children, taught her orphans the importance of guarding their speech. She gave them 3 sieves to run their thoughts through before speaking:
- Is it true?
- Is it kind?
- Is it necessary?
Filter #1 — is what I am about to say true? I first need to weed out the lies, deceptions, and half-truths from my speech.
Filter #2 — is what I am about to say kind? After the first sifting, I am left with what is true, but is it kind? Reflecting back on Ephesians 4:29-30, am I speaking "the good things people need to hear" or am I grieving the Holy Spirit?
Filter #3 — is what I am about to say necessary? It may be true, and not unkind, but is it even necessary to say? I don't have to repeat everything I hear. I won't burst if I refrain from sharing the juicy tidbit I know (even though it may feel like I will).
Set a Guard at My Lips
The psalmist, probably having just blown it in this area, pleads in Psalm 141:3, "Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips."
That is a great prayer to pray — a good one to add to our daily repertoire.
Doesn't this dark, cruel world need more light and love? Let's "give grace to those who hear" us by watching what we say about one another.
