Public Transport and Hemiplegia.
2 comments:
Learn to drive!! Its the best thing I have ever done, serioously. I don't use my left arm and leg at all, its great. I use my right hand for the handbreak and auto gear stick, and have a steering ball, and its so good. I still like to get advise from people as my spacial awareness isn't great, meaning that my parking is terrible, but I just park away from other cars! It means I don't have to worry about people on buses or balance at all :)ReplyDelete
I've just found your blog and I totally agree with this post. My hemiplegia is very mild but like you I try and sit in the disabled seats and people look at me funny. I also find it really stressful getting off the bus, because other people don't realise I'm slower and find it more awkward to walk down a moving bus so it causes a lot of anxiety!ReplyDelete

Spanish property expropriation is a scandal
Brussels, 20th January 2009 — Victims of so-called 'Valencian land-grabs' were in Brussels today to set out their case to Spanish regional officials and the European Parliament's petitions committee.
Thousands of properties in Spain have been demolished without confiscation for their owners - many of whom are British expats. In some cases, the authorities have even charged the property owners for the installation of local infrastructure, even after they have lost their property. The European Parliament has been attempting to highlight their plight for several years, and MEPs continually demand an end to the scandal.
Sir Robert Atkins MEP, who has led the campaign to scrap the law and provide justice for those affected, said:
"The continuing failure by the Spanish authorities of all persuasions to address the excesses of so-called 'urbanisation' of tourist areas at the expense of local house-owners is a scandal.
"I have been beset by British expatriates who have suffered severe financial and emotional trauma and citizens from many other countries are in the same position.
"The Petitions committee has received hundreds of petitions representing thousands of residents. Their plight simply cannot be allowed to go on.
"There is considerable support for action across all parties and all EU countries. We all demand immediate action from Spanish Regional and National Governments."

We'll do everything we can to make your time with us warm and friendly! Dress comfortable, and stop by our cafe before the service to grab coffee.
Services start at 9:15 & 11 AM every Sunday morning.
Quest is located at 4877 Central College Rd, Westerville, OH 43081, roughly between New Albany & Westerville in Central Ohio, just off of the Hamilton Rd exit on 161.
You can expect 3 main things to happen when you visit Quest:
We'll do everything we can to make your time with us warm and friendly! Dress comfortable, and stop by our cafe before the service to grab coffee.
Each service typically has 4-5 live songs of worship selected from worship teams such as Hillsong, Elevation and Rend Collective.
One of our pastors gives a 30-35 minute message to impact your life and help you grow, drawing from Scripture that relates to real-world issues.
Here are some first steps we recommend to help you learn more about Quest:
Join Ross or another pastor for a DoorWay Tour: An 8-10 minute tour of the facility after church to hear the really short version of who we are, ask questions, see the facilities and meet some of the leaders along the way.
Join us for Lunch With The Pastors, a free catered lunch for the whole family that happens periodically right after the 11 service! Meet the pastors and other newer people to Quest, hear a little more about who we are, ask questions and enjoy some great food. It takes about 75 minutes.
You may find friends easier while doing something – you might consider joining a small group or serving on a volunteer team, especially if there are some people you would like to get to know.
At this time, Quest does not have a formal membership process or any hoops you need to jump through to get involved. We introduce you to our vision and values in various ways (Sundays, Facebook/Web/App, Doorway Tour, Lunch With The Pastors and personal conversation). Our goal is that you would understand our vision, mission and values as we seek to follow Jesus, then jump on in and experience life with friends at Quest as we serve the community around us.
There are many reasons people love to go to church, but if you've had a prior negative experience with church, we're so sorry you experienced that.
…meaning they put themselves forward as better than others, and spoke negatively toward others they thought were more sinful. And it's likely you saw through them and knew that deep down, they were actually hypocrites. We're sorry if that has happened to you and if anyone does that at Quest. (It's because they are still growing, and likely failing in that moment to be like Jesus.)
The reality is that all of us fall short of what we know is right, best and good for us (meaning we sin). Even if we are socially acceptable to others, we are all in the same boat. We all need God to forgive us on a regular basis. We all are people who need God in our lives to help us live more fully, more free and true to what is right, best and good for us. If you want to join a bunch of people honestly seeking that in our lives, who are also honest about being flawed, Quest may be the right place for you.
…and not just casual fun friends. We need real friends we can be honest with about life and faith. And even in those friendships, most of us need intentional structure in our lives so that we continue to grow instead of just coast. Church provides that structure. A weekly reminder of God, community and growth in the context of a worship encounter with God. Small groups that provide intentional study and relationships. Friends that come out of those relationships that are there for you whether you get a promotion or you hit a rough patch in life. If you come, we hope you make lasting friendships and experience life as friends with faith.
We tend to choose church because we like the music, or maybe we like how interesting the pastor is.
Can I let you in on a secret?
Almost any preacher is boring after you hear them for 3-5 years. And changing churches is hard—uprooting children, friendships, having to find your way and gain trust so you can serve in meaningful ways again. God didn't intend for us to change churches so rapidly like that.
Choosing a church for the following reasons will make your faith, life and church experience great:
It is true the Bible says where two or three people are gathered in Jesus' name, God is there with them. But it is also true that we see in the Bible and throughout Christian history that the presence and work of God often shows up more tangibly and powerfully in corporate worship. We need both regular large corporate worship and small group gatherings to live our faith out.
Gathering for larger corporate worship services gives us the opportunity for our faith to be strengthened by hearing the stories of other people's encounters with God. We all need encouragement regularly.
It would be hard for one individual to support a missionary, but we are able to support a missionary in Russia who helped plant one of the largest churches in Russia and leads a university ministry that empowers other ministries all over Russia. None of us have the ability to teach our kids all they need to know about God and the Bible, so we together pool our abilities into great children's and youth programs that support parents in raising great kids and helps our kids find good friendships. We can't individually make a tremendous difference in poverty, but together through QuestCare, WARM, Project 29:7 Tutoring Initiative, WARM Summer Lunch Clubs, Big Brothers, Big Sisters and Thrive Counseling and Coaching, we can meet needs at a deeper level and more ably help people into better times.
I approached my faith journey trying to be right, be good enough and know more about God than others until I really wrestled with not just the words and principles of the Bible, but how Jesus lived what he taught. He didn't demand of his disciples to be fully cleaned up and religiously educated in order to be his disciples. Jesus simply invited common working men and women to follow him and learn what it meant to be friends with faith who know God, love others and make a difference in life—and oh, how they made a difference changing the course of history!
Jesus invites us to follow in the same way today—to follow Him warts, questions, doubts, sin and all, and discover His incredible, amazing goodness and grace. So often as we pursue faith, we get into all sorts of arguments about right and wrong, good enough or shamefully not good enough. Certainly questions are important and truth must be sought after, but a God worth serving is big enough that we will always have unanswerable, even frustrating questions. Friends love each other above the differences in thinking; are compassionate toward one another in their struggles; and respect each other in their beliefs while encouraging one another to seek—to discover and live a life that is more and more filled with God's peace, grace and goodness each day.
If you are wondering if Jesus is who he really says he is (the one true God, Creator of all, the one who sets us free and brings peace, life and goodness), we would love the opportunity to be a place where you can find friendship with other people at various stages of seeking God, while you work out this lifetime quest of discovering God and living out the very good purpose for which God made you.
A seeker,
You will absolutely be welcome to join us, serve with us, laugh and have fun with us! It doesn't matter how long it takes for you to honestly work through your search for God and meaningful faith.
Welcome to our world! We're all still trying to figure out what we believe and what faith means in our lives. We have some people attending Quest who don't want to believe in God and aren't even sure they want to figure things out, yet love being a part of Christian community and what we are doing at Quest to make a positive difference in the world.
If you come to the place where you want to commit to being a follower of Jesus, come talk to any of the staff, elders or other leaders at Quest. We would be thrilled to help you navigate that decision well.
Absolutely! If you would like more information about placing your faith in Christ, or what it means to be baptized, we would love to help you carefully walk through that decision in relationship. Please use the contact form below to reach out to Jeremy Shelley, Youth & Teaching Pastor, and he'll connect with you to talk more about what these steps mean. You can also come talk to any of the staff, elders or other leaders at Quest at any time.
It's easy! Click the button below to learn more about ministries at Quest and see where you can get involved:
Great question! Below is a list of all our pastors and staff:
(P.S. Come and introduce yourself to us, we want to meet you!)
The elders are an integral part of Quest leadership. They help shape and communicate the big picture vision of Quest, hold the senior pastor accountable to healthy goals, minister to the staff, and were all recognized as a spiritual leaders by the evidence of others following them and being positively impacted by them before becoming an Elder. Some of our elders serve on the official Elder Board of the church, and others are elders who are not on the board but continue to serve as vital leaders in the church.
Here's a list of all our elders:
We are a Vineyard church, with orthodox evangelical Vineyard theology. Here are some more detailed dropdowns that will explain further:
Relationship is what Jesus came to establish—between God and man. He didn't come to establish a religion, He operated in relationship. As we live out our faith, all meaningful change comes because of relationship with God and relationships with others who support us, encourage us, challenge us and simply walk through life with us.
People define love in many different ways, from "I never talk about hard subjects to keep the peace" to "Because I love you, I'm going to tell you the harsh truth".
God defined love by sending Jesus, not when we were all in agreement or in right relationship with God, but when we had differences, disagreements, questions, wrong thinking, and sin. When we offer kind relationship to others with whom we disagree or have conflict, we love like Jesus.
It would be weird for a healthy, capable 20-year-old to be spoon fed by their mother. In the same way, if we want healthy relationships with God and other people, we need to take personal responsibility for feeding our own relationship with God through the exercise of spiritual habits, intentional exposure to teaching and worship both individually and corporately in relationship with others.
In our practice of faith, so often we compartmentalize our lives into "spiritual/mystical" and "practical" wisdom. We believe there is no separation between spiritual and practical as God creates it all. God wants to impact us spiritually through the practical wisdom we learn in the busyness of life. He also wants to impact our way of doing the busyness of life through our spiritual experiences with Him. For the strongest faith and best life, we need to vigorously hold onto both, knowing they mesh together to help us live in wholeness.
Religion defines maturity as correct biblical knowledge and being less sinful than others. We believe the true evidence of maturity is how your life reproduces healthy spirituality and healthy relationships in other people, as well as how your life empowers others to use their gifts to serve God.
How is the life and grace of God in you being reproduced in others? There are too many people who live detached thinking because they sin less obviously and know more, they are mature Christians. Those are the people Jesus rebuked the most. How many people have you lifted up when they fell down and helped them stand and run confidently again? How many people have you encouraged to step out in faith to serve God and live His good dream for them when they didn't believe they could?
We always achieve our highest, God-given potential when we are encouraged to set high goals (to believe in God's high view of us). We also follow Jesus' example of giving grace in the context of truth when we fail.
So try! Give it your best and often succeed! And when you fail, be honest with the truth but get back up and try again because grace abounds. We think God is happier with us stepping out in faith and trying more….and failing more….than He is with us being too careful and never failing.

Its Tuesday morn and this is the weekend report. Timeline running backwards.
I have two choices in the morning. Since the mornings are my real time off per day I can either get up early and do things, or make it a lazy morning and get up slowly. With the busy day yesterday I decided to get up slowly but the minute I got outside I realized I made the wrong choice. Just beautiful outside today. A bike ride would have been a much better option.
Yesterday was crazy in the store. Last day of the advertised sale and Im pretty sure we had a day that made the top 5 in store history. I have a lot of ordering to do today. Overall this has been the best organised sale in store history and for that I am thankful. Moving on.
I did spend some time in the park Monday before work. And I got to see and old freind that I have not seen all summer. In the same tree I first saw him in in 2008. He looked at me and gave me a nod and I did the same. It's the first time all summer we have met.
Sunday I spent some time in the store, maybe a couple hours before I grabbed the road bike and headed back home. After some lunch I was going to hit the road but looking at the radar my window to ride was closing too fast. So I waited. The rain came and went. Then around 3pm I saw my window and headed out. Riding north from my house. Just a couple of miles in the roads got real wet. It was not raining but just finished. Just two miles back at my house it was perfectly dry so I flipped and headed back south, past my house and then west.
About 5 miles west I hit more rain. So I turned south again as it seemed it was all coming from the north. Dry roads again. I knew I had to eventually swing back north to go home and did so. Making it home and no more than 15 minutes later it was pouring. I cheated the rain for 20 miles.
Saturday was a quick ride to the park before work. It was cool, sunny and I had the road bike. No wait….. the cross bike.
This weekend is Ore to Shore up in Marquette and this is one of the rare years Im not headed up there. Mostly due to the fact Im headed up to Hayward the very next week. Once the store slows down I will have a few weekends to head up to the U.P. and I will for sure take advantage. The fall is my favorite time of the year and its when I get in the most riding. This fall should be no different.
More on my planned Hayward weekend later. Right now I have some ordering to do.

#RedAlert Obama to Sign United Nations Small Arms Treaty..
"There has been a decree by the administration by the president and the secretary of state saying that our president will sign the United Nations small arms treaty, which is about how we will buy sell and control individual private weapons," Boykin warned. "That means the United Nations, an international body will decide how you and I as Americans can buy and sell our weapons, how we control those weapons, who is authorized to have those weapons and where they are.

TWA Flight 800 crash wasn't due to gas tank explosion, former investigators claim

And six former investigators who took part in the film say there was a cover-up, and want the case reopened.

HIPAA Laws are likely being compromised and the 4th and 5th Amendments are being violated in some of these cases".
"How did confiscation start happening so quickly? Apparently the gun grabbing was triggered by something inside the NY SAFE Act — New York's new gun law — that has a provision apparently mandating confiscation of weapons and permits if someone has been prescribed psychotropic drugs".

I finally ventured back to my parents' backyard. On my first quick search there I quickly uncovered the 1891 Queen Victoria Canadian silver seated half dime. I've been anxious to get back, but a little short on time. This day I was a little rushed too, but I was able to scan a pretty big portion of the yard.
I got good hit after good hit, and dug and dug… only to find junk after junk. The hits were all ringing coins, from pennies, to nickels, to quarters and dimes. Alas, just a bunch of nails and shredded aluminum siding from a time long ago. I have come to HATE aluminum siding.
When I got home, I had to drop something off at my neighbor's house. While walking over I saw this modern dime just sitting on the sidewalk, waiting to be picked up. No detector needed… oh universe, why dost though mock me?

Lo And Behold!! Here's what happened in the first event of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Cell of IISER Pune 'Dasham'.
The EIC, interviewed 10 Startup Founders on 31st May 2016. We tried taking a sneak-peek into the minds of modern-day founders who pursued untrodden paths to create something novel. We asked them to share nuggets of wisdom, and snippets from their wonderful journeys, to gather insight into the startup world. It was immensely intriguing and inspiring to learn of their experiences as well as the hardships they overcame to achieve their goals.
The suggestions by the founders could serve as a roadmap for aspiring student entrepreneurs when they start their own journeys. They will also help build contacts and develop close relations within the startup ecosystem.
1) Nisal – Anuya Nisal
"Be Confident, success may seem far when you are creating an innovative product but if you are willing to persevere long enough It'll arrive eventually"
This tech-based start-up is developing bone void filler materials based on silk fibroid. The aim of this start-up is to provide a material and a method that can arrest bleeding from bony surfaces and simultaneously enhance bone regeneration.
According to Anuya, the competitive team committed to product development, plus a novel innovative product idea, and feasibility, are the three important points for raising funds. She deems it necessary to build a network with the customers to get continuous feedback in the product development phase. Start with a customer, understand the problem area, ask them about details and then develop the product keeping these suggestions in mind.
2) Fizzible – Vishal, Anoop
"The main revenue generation for any startup should not be money from an investor but to identify a market where customers are ready to pay from the day one."
Fizzible was created by a bunch of engineers to solve the problems of price fluctuations, quality assurance and to become a one stop shop for all electronic items at affordable prices", said one of the co-founder Vishal.
On team building, Anoop said interns play an important part of the initial team. They could contribute a lot in developing the startups in its initial phase for free. But they have to be assigned roles & responsibilities and a need freedom to work on the projects of their interests.
One should have faith in their work but customer feedback is a must at all stages of product development. "We should trust in God but believe in data."- Anoop
3) LiveHealth – Abhimanyu
" 4 Q's to ask yourself before starting up, 'Is there a need for the solution? Are people ready to pay for it? Is anyone else is supplying the same product? Can your team make it ready?' "
Mr. Abhimanyu is passionate about simplifying the healthcare system. He started Livehealth, which provides medical care through a mobile app and connects you with corresponding healthcare providers. It also provides the clientele with medical reports directly on the portal thus saving precious time.
On making your product appealing: "Identify the segment of your idea which lacks innovation and makes that segment the key feature of your product." The initial marketing for startups can be achieved by referrals of the satisfied customers. If the customers are truly happy with the service then it will lead to scaling of your business.
4) Gharobar – Avani
"Better to pick a small market and grab it completely than to pick a huge market with less share".
Connecting the world to home-based entrepreneurs- This startup changed the lives of many women running businesses from home by giving them greater exposure and introducing more customers online. Started with the aim of helping women; Gharobar has evolved greatly into a renowned place for entrepreneurs for redesigning their home business. Not only is it targeting women but also NGOs who have the privilege to sell their hand-made products.
When asked about idea verification she said, "You get honest views from your closest friends and relatives who are the biggest critics usually and it helps if you listen to them".
5) AdSpark – Kunal
"In the corporate world, there are two sets of people, people who identify the problems and people who solve the problems but an entrepreneur should be both"
Adsparx is the second venture of Mr Kunal. It aims to provide relevant ads, enable the fastest time to reach the market and give high-quality experience by providing dynamic in-stream ads for online TV.
According to Mr Kunal, one should have a long-term vision instead of short-term money generation plans.
6) Buzan India – Maneesh Johari
"If you have a compelling vision, a learning mindset and are willing to think creatively, there are no roadblocks or dead ends, you'll always find your way," -Maneesh Johari
Buzan is all about training your mind to become more efficient with the help of a technique called "Mind Maps – The most powerful Thinking Tool". Besides his own engineering industry CNC machines, Mr Johari joined hands with Buzan with the thought of contributing something to society. He is now the CEO of Buzan Pune centre and is passionate about spreading the awareness and use of mind maps in India. He is an experienced entrepreneur and has been in the start-up world for a long time.
About sustainability, he says: "To remain in the market you should be adaptive to the changes in the technology, and be ready to learn new things. For that an attitude of being a learner at any point is must(sic)."
7) PurpleChai Technologies – Vaishali Sharma
"In a Start-up, as a founder, you have to do all things(sic) on your own and for that, you need to be strong enough mentally"
Having the motto 'Turning ideas into apps', the 'Purplechai Technologies' is one of the upcoming mobile application developers in Android and iOS platforms based out of Pune.
Mentioning about the usage of open source codes she said, "The open source code creates more opportunities for new tech related startups for innovation and creates healthy competition." She also believed that it is important to do market research in a continuous changing market and to improve ourselves time and again by changing strategies according to the situations.
8) RoughSheet – Jyoti and Mr Ankur
"Your team members should have the skills you lack." – Ankur (Co-Founder)
This cutting-edge startup is truly a lifeline for us students. It is an online platform for the students preparing for company placement interview. Roughsheet provides them study material and mock aptitude tests. The algorithm will analyse your performance, determine your weak areas and give you personalised material to improve your performance.
Mr Ankur gives special attention to team formation. He also believes that if we work on the solution for a problem we've faced all our life, we'll be motivated throughout your start-up journey.
9) Pune Open Coffee Club – Keerthi Kadam
"Hustling is the only way to market" – K.K
Having been in the startup world for about 7-8 years and a lead volunteer for POCC since past 3 years, Keerthi had a lot to share with us. Pune Open Coffee Club is a great example of a successful non-profit startup which strives in bringing together entrepreneurs across Pune. POCC provide them with a common platform to interact, discuss their ideas, get valuable suggestions, and make new and useful networks and connections which will help them to grow their start-up efficiently. As it is said "A lot can happen over a cup of coffee"
When asked about Importance of financial support he said: "In my 3 years of experience what I have learnt is that money is not an important part of a start-up because it's all your skills that you have to put to work and I have learnt it the hard way… Don't run for the money, instead, be creative, and try to get alternatives ways which doesn't involve spending much money"
10) Townscript- Sachin Sharma, Sanchit Malik
"You should select the team who align themselves with the long-term vision of the company, should be full of enthusiasm and ready to learn, as the ultimate goal is to keep on improving every day."
Townscript aids event managers organise great events. Their mission is to bridge the gap between organisers and enthusiasts by making event registration and ticketing easy. Anyone can create events, conferences, workshops or training programs and sell the tickets online through their platform. They also help organisers publicise their events by providing them with customised marketing strategies.
When asked for their best piece of advice for the growth of a startup they quoted Bill Gates,"It is important to not overestimate the things that one can do in short time and underestimate the things one can do in a long run."
The main point that young entrepreneurs should take from this entire endeavour is that although the world of startups teems with danger and uncertainties, the existence of such exemplary people is a testament to the fact that one can indeed succeed.
This successful start to our first event, might be an indication of something remarkable. But there are miles to go before we sleep. Stay tuned for the pictures and videos.
Thanks to everyone who made this wonderful event possible. The founders of the startups, media center, all the three faculty members Prof. Vaidhyanathan, Prof. Sanjeev, Prof. Satish, Registrar, Mr. Nevse, our director K.N.Ganesh, Venture Center coordinator Suraj, and lastly Dr. Premnath for helping us out at every stage in making this event successful.

So can old man Brady pull it out of his butt again, he's hard to bet against. Potential challengers like Wilson and Newton have all choked when it counts, Rogers is out of it now but he couldn't have done it anyway without some protection, big Ben's time is running out. Still have the play offs, but like I said the Pats are hard to bet against.
Can't mention Brady without mentioning the Gronk, those big catcher's mitts for hands are an easy target for Brady's aging eyesight lol. Joking aside after breaking many records these two old timers may still break a few more records, and have been the source of a few exciting games the last few years. Should make for another exciting super bowl game.

"We haven't failed... the world has changed."
Bishop Steve Lane has been saying that since he first arrived in Maine. Things are different. The world has changed, and the church is affected, and many of us are wondering what God has in mind for us.
Living Local: Joining God
is all about that question. It's a scary question, but an exciting one: it puts us in company with Abraham and Sarah, with Moses and the Israelites, with Mary and Joseph, and with people throughout history who got to be there when new things began.
Next up is a training session for people who want to help their congregations ask whether the
Living Local
journey is for them. We'll learn steps congregations can take to see if they're ready, willing, and able to try new ways of connecting with the world beyond the church walls. The session will be at Church at 209 in Augusta, from 10-3 on Saturday, October 1. We'll have coffee and morning snacks; please bring a lunch.
All are welcome
If you can come with other members of your congregation that's ideal, but if it's just you, that's great as well. And if you missed the earlier session in May, it's not too late to start! P
lease let us know your coming by completing this very brief
registration form.

It's a bird. It's a plane. It's a potentially deadly combination.
A Purdue University study of 10 Indiana GA airports found that animals can gain easy access to airports, increasing the likelihood of planes hitting those animals.
The study by Gene Rhodes, a professor of forestry and natural resources, documented that animals found ways through damaged fences or unfenced areas onto airports.
"Just about every pilot we talked to at these airports said that during a landing they've had to pull up to avoid hitting an animal on the runway," Rhodes said. "With the size of planes using these airports, hitting a rabbit could flip a plane."
Only four of the airports had fences around the entire perimeter, and even those had maintenance problems, such as holes dug under fences or holes in fences that allowed animals onto the properties.
Rhodes noted that airports often are a magnet for wildlife, often because of what is growing near the airport.
"Even if you have certain grasses, you have small mammals that eat those, and those attract red-tailed hawks. A red-tailed hawk can bring down a small plane as fast as anything."
Previous studies have shown that wildlife strikes cost more than a half a billion dollars each year and have been responsible for more than 350 deaths in the last century.
Rhodes' study suggests enclosing 100% of airport perimeters with partially buried fencing, which keeps animals from tunneling underneath. Frequent maintenance also is key, he said.
"If airports can use this study to show their needs, it can allow them to go after federal grants they need to make improvements," Rhodes said.

"Robots, spaceships, futuristic megacities, planets orbiting distant stars. these icons of science fiction are now in our daily news. Science fiction, once maligned as mere pulp, has motivated cutting-edge scientific research, inspired new technologies, and changed how we view everyday life-and its themes and questions permeate popular culture. Take an unparalleled look at the influence, history, and greatest works of science fiction with illuminating insights and fascinating facts about this wide-ranging genre. If you think science fiction doesn't have anything to do with you, this course deserves your attention. And if you love science fiction, you can't miss this opportunity to trace the arc of science fiction's evolution, understand the hallmarks of great science fiction, and delve deeply into classics while finding some new favorites. In 24 captivating lectures, How Great Science Fiction Works reveals the qualities that make science fiction an enduring phenomenon that has been steadily gaining popularity. Exploring the greatest works, as well as many lesser-known yet highly influential novels and stories, you'll grasp the context and achievements of authors like Arthur C. Clarke, H.G. Wells, Isaac Asimov, Kim Stanley Robinson, Ursula K. Le Guin, and many more. You'll experience the wonder, horror, and incredible imagination of works like Frankenstein, the Foundation series, The Martian Chronicles, Earth Abides, Stranger in a Strange Land, Neuromancer, The Left Hand of Darkness, Doomsday Book, and dozens of more recent stories as well. You'll also get a glimpse into how this genre has influenced mainstream popular culture in movies such as Metropolis, Star Wars, and Blade Runner and TV shows such as The Twilight Zone and Star Trek. Leading you on this insightful journey is Professor Gary K. Wolfe, Professor of Humanities in Roosevelt University's Evelyn T. Stone College of Professional Studies. Professor Wolfe has been nominated five times for the Hugo Award from the World Science Fiction Convention and has won numerous other awards for criticism and scholarship. He has authored many books, essays, and articles, and he cohosts an award-nominated weekly science fiction podcast. You won't find a more engaging, knowledgeable, and passionate professor for this multifaceted subject. What Defines Science Fiction? Professor Wolfe begins by defining what science fiction is, and more importantly, what it is not. In distinguishing science fiction from fantasy-a genre with which it is frequently confused-the key difference is that a science fiction story should be possible: things that we might actually create, places we might actually go, societies that might actually evolve, given our present understanding of reality. Fantasy, on the other hand, traffics in magic and the supernatural-events that are impossible according to that same understanding of reality. As Professor Wolfe says, "You can stand in King's Cross Station in London all you like, looking for Platform 9 3/4, but you're not going to get to Harry Potter's Hogwarts. But build a rocket ship and you can get to the moon or Mars, or even to Pluto or a remote comet." Hogwarts is a fantasy setting, while Mars is (usually) a science fiction setting. Similarly, science fiction and horror also often get lumped together due to the sometimes dark and scary themes of much science fiction. However, a similar distinguishing principle applies: when the "horror" is rooted in real science, then it can and should be considered science fiction. You will take this concept a step further as you explore the various types of monsters in both science fiction and fantasy, starting with Mary Shelley's scientifically created creature in Frankenstein. Her novel is considered by some to mark the birth of modern science fiction, since the monster is created not by magic, but by science as understood in Shelley's time. Trace Science Fiction's Evolution from Pulp to Pop Culture By the 1860s, a robot-like "steam man" and other inventions began to appear in popular "dime novels," which eventually gave way to "pulp" magazines (so-called for the cheap paper they were printed on). Several of these featured early science fiction stories like Edgar Rice Burroughs's Martian tales, and eventually the first pulp devoted to science fiction, Amazing Stories, appeared in 1926. While such magazines reprinted classic tales by Poe, Verne, and Wells, they also did a lot to give science fiction its reputation as a sensationalist, mass-produced kind of writing. Pulp writers often didn't consider themselves serious authors, and sometimes said they didn't expect their stories to last much beyond that month's magazine. Trying to eke out a living by churning out stories for very low pay, they simply didn't have the time for literary pretentions, leading the literary world to regard such fiction as "besotted nonsense" or worse. Yet a few very influential authors and editors sought to develop a new, more mature kind of science fiction, leading many fans to regard the 1940s as a kind of "golden age" during which many of the techniques and themes of modern science fiction were developed. These included: - developing complex, layered, and relatable characters - promoting the notion of competence, knowledge, and problem-solving over traditional heroics and brute strength, leading to what some have come to call the "competent man" motif in science fiction - presenting the setting as a "lived-in" world rather than a generic future - ensuring that the science of the story should be accurate and defensible in terms of contemporary understandings of science and technology - exploring the social and economic effects of changes in the future - developing common future settings that could be used for multiple stories, and that could evolve over a series of stories As the pulp magazines fell into decline, paperback books and hardcover science fiction anthologies were picking up steam and reaching a wider audience. In the 1950s, science fiction began to develop a substantial book market. This new "golden age" of science fiction novels helped further define the literary standards of the genre. Mainstream media started paying attention to science fiction as well. One of the most famous radio broadcasts in history was Orson Welles's adaptation of H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds in 1938. Space Patrol debuted on television in 1950, followed by science fiction staples such as The Twilight Zone, Star Trek, and Doctor Who. Science fiction had been a part of the movies since the very beginning, with early classics by Georges Melies and Fritz Lang, as well as later Hollywood blockbusters like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Wars, Alien, and E.T. In the 1960s, the "New Wave" movement challenged science fiction to embrace more experimental literary forms and explore "inner space" as well as outer space, while the 1970s saw the rise of important feminist voices and the 1980s the rise of computer-savvy cyberpunk and its various offshoots like steampunk. Older forms were updated and given new literary complexity with the New Space Opera of the 1990s, and the post-2000 era has seen a blossoming of science fiction worldwide, with new and more diverse voices and, finally, a measure of literary respectability as more traditional literary writers took up science fiction themes. How Does Science Fiction Reflect Our Hopes and Anxieties? An important factor in the popularity of science fiction is how authors reflect real-world concerns in fictional societies, from Ray Bradbury's 1951 Fahrenheit 451 responding to fears of censorship and political intolerance to Paolo Bacigalupi's grim portrayal of future "water wars" in the American Southwest in 2015's The Water Knife. Such books provide a warning and call for vigilance to avoid these bleak futures, balancing more optimistic visions of new worlds to explore, new technologies to develop, or even new ways of being human. Few science fiction writers would ever claim to be predicting the future, and serious science fiction stories are almost always really about the world in which they were written. But sometimes writers get it almost eerily right-Hugo Gernsback describing radar in 1911, H.G. Wells coining the term "atomic bomb" in 1914, Murray Leinster describing the Internet in 1946, Ray Bradbury describing giant flatscreen TVs in 1951, William Gibson inventing "cyberspace" in 1984, and so on. Whether scientists and engineers, many of whom had been science fiction readers, were directly inspired by the fiction they had read, or whether writers were simply extrapolating logical extensions of the technologies of their time, there is no doubt that the world we live in now reflects much of the science fiction of yesterday. Whether you're a die-hard fan, a casual reader, or you just want to understand what all the fuss is about, this course will provide an enjoyable look at why this genre is so influential and important to our society.

Mercedes has revealed what is likely to be the actual version of its forthcoming new versatile people-carrier, which should be in showrooms next year.
Currently called the Vision Grand Sports Tourer, it aims to be all things to all people, as the all-encompassing name suggests.
The idea is to create a vehicle that offers luxurious accommodation for up to six occupants, with sports-car performance and handling and the versatility to transform itself into a load-lugger when required.
It will also feature a hybrid engine, using diesel and electricity, which promises an impressive combination of performance and economy.
The 250bhp V8 diesel engine and 50Kw electric motor endow the huge vehicle with a 0-60mph acceleration time of just over six and a half seconds, with the top speed electronically limited to 155mph.
The electric motor takes charge when the car is started, or is caught in stop-and-go traffic or other slow-moving traffic conditions requiring little power, resulting in environmentally-friendly zero-emissions.
When greater performance is needed, the eight-cylinder CDI engine kicks in, and when the brakes are applied the electric motor acts as a generator and produces electricity that is used to recharge the battery.
At this stage Mercedes is saying only that the newcomer is expected some time in 2005, although precisely when right hand drive versions are likely to be produced is not entirely clear.

Panda 4.2 is Rolling-Out – Should You Be Worried?
Yes, Google Has let its Panda loose again. Albeit this time, the teeth aren't that sharp. For the past week since around July 24th, the Panda has started rolling and it will continue for the upcoming months. What's different, however, is that this time around Google has specifically mentioned the number of queries that may be affected to be around 2-3%. This figure is lower than the previous updates where the range of queries affected is usually around 3-7%. This makes it more like a refresh rather than a full blown update.
Don't forget that a refresh may affect a significant number of your website's pages and cause loss of rankings.
You Can't Do Much Now
Typically, once the update/Refresh algorithm rolls out, the changes you make aren't counted. It is too late to apply any changes during the algorithm roll out time frame. All the previous changes had a cut-off date after which you cannot salvage your website from any potential losses.
That said, a webmaster must always look forward to continually update the content on the website. In case you have been noticing some ranking changes, you need to implement changes. However, these new changes will make their impact on the next Panda update.
Roll-Out will Go On for Several Months
Coming months can mean that the roll-out can be very gradual. It can take around 8-12 weeks even to complete. This means you may not primarily know whether or not your website has been affected by the update.
Who Will Be Affected?
The problem with slow updates is that it becomes difficult to track the exact algorithmic changes. Winners and losers cannot be normally predicted. It is too early to make a conclusion on how the new Panda works.
Updates will be Gradual and Intertwined with Each Other
This gradual update roll out will further make it difficult to clearly differentiate between the various updates. Isolating the effects of every update independently will become difficult. For example, Panda and Penguin could be rolling out simultaneously and you won't be able to differentiate them.
The best approach in this case is to be aware of the start of the roll out and track every minute change. The casual relation between the various updates will be more organic. The thrust of these updates will be more on quality content creation and organic value delivery. Search engine updates will soon be working on a fundamental analytical level rather than plain-in-sight number crunching.
As usual, if your entire domain is affected, the recovery is going to be excruciatingly painful. Landing pages with weak content will be affected and needs to be optimized.
As yet, the Google Panda is pattern-less. There is no decipherable activity to predict any losers and winners. No concrete analysis with specific points can be discussed. You have to observe the slightest changes in ranking to ascertain this Panda update. SERPs will soon start reflecting the algorithmic changes.
We will keep you posted in case this Panda takes out its teeth or claws.

Report for Gardner Hall 8/31/06
Encouraging Young Christians
The congregation at Upper Manhattan and to a certain extent the Hispanic congregation that meets in Fair Lawn have seen a revival of interest among children and teens to study the Bible and serve others. The resurgence of interest is due in great part to the good examples and work of several young disciples. Tim Bunting, Esther Rodriguez and Alicia Stewart have made it a priority to teach the children and teenagers on Tuesday and Thursday nights at Upper Manhattan. I thoroughly enjoy watching them interact with the kids after services. Roger Polanco and Caleb Churchill spent almost two months of their summer vacation in the city and were especially successful in stimulating a number of teenage boys to open their minds to Gods word. Roger is 100% New Yorker in his accent and dress and that helps him identify with teens that come from the same background. Caleb and others like Emily Ferenzce have had a big part in Rogers enthusiasm for Bible study and growth.
Brigham Eubanks and Ernesto Orellana have been successful in building up interest and enthusiasm among teens at Fair Lawn. Brigham, who is fluent in Spanish, will be studying at Rutgers and Ernie will be a senior in High School. Ive turned the teenage class over to them.
The little children who are attending services are friends and relatives of members. The older teens have made sure that they give the "little kids" plenty of attention and that is just what they need. Many come from broken homes and from neighborhoods that are full of gang activities and drug activity. However, they respond well to the Bible stories and love that they receive. Though we will probably lose many to the world, some will overcome the shallow lifestyle of the city with Gods help, just like Roger Polanco, Marcos Grado, Daphne Laurent and others have done.
Special summer activities
Summer months are full of activities. We had 119 campers and 34 staff members at our weeklong camp, July 2-8. Picture below. The camp is purely a personal project (camps arent the responsibility of churches) It provides a boost to all of us. Though we always underplay baptism at camp to avoid spur of the moment decisions, four young people were baptized in the lake. At least two more obeyed the gospel immediately after camp.
We spent the week of July 23 at my Dads leadership camp for young men at Jackie Richardsons camp near Russellville, Alabama. This week of intensive Bible study is good not only for the young men, but also for us "older folks" who get to spend time with them.
I spent the week of August 20-25 with the Eastside congregation in Bowling Green, Kentucky. I enjoyed being with old friends like Bob and Delores Buchanon and making new friends such as Jason and Stephanie Longstreth. I stayed in the Longstreths home and grew to admire their maturity and spirituality. They have adopted two adorable little girls who quickly became my buddies. The brethren at Eastside are very loving and encouraging.
I do not have as many Bible studies with the lost now as usual. One has been with Martin Gutierrez, an ex Catholic "missionary" who is an interesting character. Most of my studies now are now with new Christians. I hope I can build up the number of studies with the lost in the early fall. I also hope to have time to redo my web page and work on several other projects during office time. Ive also promised Beverly to do some needed work on the house, since Fall is often a little less hectic for us than other times of the year. Thanks so much for your support.

At Studio 25, we create spectacular displays for all seasons of the year – not just Christmas. Seasonal displays are a great way to attract customers and guests to your commercial property or venue. By investing in commercial seasonal decorations, you can take advantage of key holiday selling periods and events to boost sales and attendance, and create a lasting impression with visitors.
Studio 25 Decor has designed and created custom commercial seasonal decorations and displays for Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter that have been a focal point in resorts, casinos, shopping centers, event centers, cruise ships, vacation destinations and more! This year, we had the pleasure of creating a new whimsical spring garden display for a luxury resort and casino in Verona, NY. Read on to discover our creative process and learn how a luxury casino lobby blossomed into a colorful spring garden!
Ideas Blossom with our Commercial Seasonal Decorations
At Studio 25, our creative process is a collaborative one, and this Spring Garden display project was no exception. The project began by discussing with our client the desired outcome and direction of their display. We love hearing what our clients have dreamed up for their space and thrive on the challenge of turning their concept into a reality. Knowing that our client wanted to introduce elements of spring and present them as larger-than-life adornments, we knew just the route to take. We presented our client several seasonal decoration designs so they could visualize the each theme on their property. These included: giant spring flowers "blossoming" from the ceiling; double-sided, spinning daisies; giant spring tapestries with 3-dimensional floral attachments; an array of floral umbrellas; and giant floating butterflies. Our client eventually chose the giant butterfly concept and partnered it with giant umbrella theme. The end result was a stunning ceiling display extending the length of the casino lobby.
Imagination Takes Flight
With project specifications in hand, we set straight to work on the giant butterflies. With less than 2 months to source, build and finish these giant butterflies, we were under a major time crunch. Then again, we are accustomed to tight time constraints and excel at working under pressure. First, we put our imagination and skill to work by designing the butterfly wings. Our goal was to create a colorful array of butterflies that would stand out in the sea of bright floral umbrellas. Our graphics department designed the wing pattern and colors while our metal workers developed the wing frames. Our artistic department leader, Michelle, took on the challenge of creating the butterfly's body and conquered it by creating a sturdy, durable abdomen for each butterfly. The butterfly bodies were hand-sculpted and individually hand-painted to give a natural and unique look to each one. Studio 25 Decor is continually exploring the best, most durable and economical fabrication methods and materials with which to make our displays. In this way, we are able to offer our clients products of superior quality and value. We must admit, the finished butterflies turned out amazing!
Spring has Sprung
After fabrication and assembly, we headed out to New York to install this vibrant spring display for the enjoyment of the resort guests and staff. We couldn't wait to see the final results! Burning the midnight oil, we installed the display by securing each umbrella and giant butterfly at various heights to create a cascading visual effect. The colorful floral umbrellas and larger-than-life butterflies turned this casino lobby into a whimsical and merry spring garden over night. One that casino guests are sure to enjoy for years to come.

Dallet for Supreme Court Justice
Dallet for Supreme Court Justice
Hoping everyone is planning to vote on April 3; there are some important things that need your input! Rebecca Dallet is running for Wisconsins Supreme Court. I met Judge Dallet here in Hudson last week, and am very impressed with her experience - 11 years as a state and federal prosecutor, followed by her election to serve as circuit judge for Milwaukee County in 2008, for which she was reelected in 2014. Judge Dallet was appointed to the Supreme Court Judicial Education Committee, and teaches judges in Wisconsin and across the nation. I believe she would be an excellent addition to our state Supreme Court!

Tracking and billing time to clients is integral to any law firm. Accurately tracking and recording time and submitting easy to read and detailed invoices is key to a firm's success. To help ensure you are always paid what you're worth, try following these five simple principles.
Five General Principles to Getting Paid
- Ensure you satisfy the fee agreement and communicate effectively with the client.
- Learn client billing policies. And bill regularly and frequently. Send pre-bills and statements to regularly communicate your value to the client.
- Use complete sentences and proofread. For example, don't describe an entry as "t/c with expert re: dep." Instead, enter "t/c with expert re: timing of deposition and nature of testimony to be provided." This ensures clarity when read by your client. Always err on the side of over describing tasks. So think as your client would—which time entry would you be most inclined to pay right away?
Example A: 8/15/15 call from client
Example B: 8.15/15 Call from B. Jones re T. Smith's commencement of employment with competitor. XYZ Company desires to enforce covenant of noncompete.
- Ensure every bill is to the correct client/matter numbers. Breakdown pieces of a lengthy project into subparts that are easier to digest. And, reflect behind the scenes activities in your bills. Often a pre-billing review process can identify any issues.
- Track and record all time—even on contingent matters. Enter time every day because if you wait, you may forget and this can also create an ethical concern.Plus, some systems date stamp when time is entered and some clients may not accept older entries or disbursements on later bills. In short, you have a fiduciary responsibility owed to your client to enter time in a reasonable and ethical manner. Don't create a moment of doubt by not tracking and recording time promptly.
Bill4Time helps ensure prompt time tracking and accurate billing. Bill4Time offers legal time billing software that was created especially for lawyers. You can track and record time through the online app, desktop or even through your mobile device. Running from one client to the next? No worry. We have iOs, Android and even a Blackberry mobile time billing app that ensures every minute is accounted for and recorded. Try it free for 30-days and see how easy time billing can be.
Make sure every minute is accounted for and detailed in your invoices. By following the simple principles above, you'll ensure your client understands what you have done and what value you bring. And, you'll get paid sooner.

Challenge Day 11: My Personal Faves
Show off! 5 of your best blog posts!
Weeelll... As I just started blogging in May, I don't have that many blog posts posted.
So I'm only going to give you three of my best posts.
3. A Funny Little Story This post is, as you may have guessed from the title, a Funny Little Story about an old man I met on Prince Edward Island. You may ask - what does this have to do with books and literature? Nothing really. It's just an interesting story that I posted with the excuse that it's an example of journaling and Rambling With A Purpose, both of which I had written about in a previous post.
2. Holmes vs. Dupin: The Ultimate Detective Face-Off This was one of my first posts, and a warning - it is quite long. But I consider it one of my better posts because it was super fun to write and I actually did a bit of research while I was at it! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
1. Mondegreens! My personal favorite, this post was one of three posts I did on weird literary terms. I had so, so, so much fun writing this post and finding pictures to go with it. And I got to talk about my book nerdy childhood and how it caused embarrassing situations through my lack of knowledge of common pop/rock. Wheee!!

Book discussions make the world a better place! Write me a comment - I respond to each and every one, I promise. So check back!
(YES! I LOVE TAGS and I do them! So tag away! But no bloggerly awards, though, like the Liebster or the Sisterhood of World Bloggers. Thank you!)

Mobile phone charge, the Battery Charger in the end do not pull?
Is not the Battery Charger on the socket connected to the phone at work?
According to the experiment, the socket is not connected to the phone Battery Charger actually there is the current, that is still working! However, compared to the normal charge when the current, the genuine Battery Charger even one-tenth of the ~
Then these Battery Chargers long-term on the outlet, then, will not be as serious as the news that so that it produces a fire?
It is best not to pull the Battery Charger
Battery Charger is a high-voltage direct current into a low-voltage direct current device, if the Battery Charger on the plug board for a long time, it will continue to heat, thus accelerating the aging of devices and materials, so easy to produce short circuit or high pressure Wear, which lead to fire hazards.
In other words, the Battery Charger caused the fire is accumulated over the aging of the Battery Charger, there is no danger of a small partner do not exist luck, full charge or in time to pull out the Battery Charger as well!
Mobile phone charging other dangerous habits
In addition to no Battery Charger, there are some bad habits, we have to change in time Oh!
Mobile phone charge dangerous habit:
☠ different mobile phone Battery Charger mixed with
☠ mobile phone charging charge a full night or full charge is still a long time after the charge
Hand in the wet when the operation of the Battery Charger
Travel Battery Charger interface too loose too tight
☠ use non-original low-quality Battery Charger
☠ put the charging of the phone on the insulation effect of things such as quilts and so on
Finally, we recommend charging the original Battery Charger, do not use low-quality Battery Charger, not only damage the phone, there are still security problems Oh!

The JNV wax seal of authenticity is described in the chapter about old bottles. The IVM paper seal bears the complete coat of arms of the island or just the cross in the older seals.

Potential future Troubles for Health Care Control
