Arsenal are showing interest in Everton target Bruno Martins Indi. The Feyenoord defender was lined up by Everton in the summer and they are keen to revive a proposed £8million deal.
However, Arsenal are still keen to bring in a versatile centre-back and the 21-year-old Dutch international is on their scouting list.
Former Gunners star Giovanni van Bronckhorst, now a coach at Feyenoord, said: 'He is very good and strong. It is not for nothing he's a first-choice here and with the Dutch national team. He will make the move to a foreign club in the long term.
'When the time comes and he wants to leave, he will leave the club. We are very happy with him, but we know we cannot compete with the top European clubs.'

Summary View help for Summary
This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on standard Eurobarometer measures such as public awareness of and attitudes toward the European Union (EU), and also focused on cancer, education issues, and the Single European Currency. Respondents were questioned about their attitudes toward cancer risks and prevention strategies. They were also asked whether they had heard or read anything about the European Week Against Cancer, the European program to fight cancer, or the "European Code Against Cancer". The European Code Against Cancer, consisting of ten elementary rules for the possible prevention of cancer, was developed by a committee of cancer experts from all member countries of the EU. Education questions concerned whether respondents were satisfied with primary and secondary schools. Common European currency questions included whether respondents were for or against having one European currency in all member states. Respondents were queried about their knowledge of the Single European Currency and conditions member countries must meet in order to join the European Economic and Monetary Union. They were also asked for their opinions about possible outcomes of the changeover to the Single European Currency. Respondents were further queried about their time-frame preference for introducing the dual display of both the national currency and the European currency on goods and services, their concerns about this changeover, and their opinions about where useful information on the European currency and the changeover should be available. Demographic and other background information was gathered on the number of people residing in the home, size of locality, household income, and region of residence, as well as the respondent's age, sex, religion, age when completed education, occupation, and left-right political self-placement.

SRU to host modern music workshop May 20
Slippery Rock University music education majors Jeanne Marie Stalteri, a senior music from Indiana, Ashley Bodnar, a sophomore from New Castle and Quinton Herriot, a junior from New Castle, work on a piece of music as part of the "Popular Music Pedagogy" summer course.
May 19, 2017
SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. - While chalkboards and paperback books have nearly disappeared from modern-day classrooms in favor of laptops and PDFs, many music teachers still point to the classics - composers such as Beethoven and Mozart - as the peak of musical instruction, neglecting to address the modern genres their students enjoy on a daily basis.
"This tends to leave a lot of kids out," said Cassandra Eisenreich, music education and performance instructor at Slippery Rock University. "We want the musical experience to be as diverse as our students are."
In hopes of extending the classroom's repertoire, Eisenreich is offering a weekend workshop to area high school music teachers and SRU music education majors in hopes of widening the door to music participation.
The workshop, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., May 20 in Swope Music Hall, will be the finale of a week-long Popular Music Pedagogy course, designed to prepare educators to better connect with their students through popular musical genres including: rock, reggae, R&B, pop, hip-hop and country.
Eisenreich is expecting 30 educators and more than a dozen SRU students to participate in the unique workshop.
"This is definitely a one-of-a-kind opportunity," said Samantha Schreckengost, a junior music education major from Corry. "I am looking forward to the improvisation and composition portions of the workshop so that I can then bring them into my classroom someday. Composition is often undermined, but I get to learn this first-hand."
As part of the workshop, Eisenreich will also focus on the burgeoning national movement known as "Modern Band," which teaches students to perform, improvise and compose using the popular styles of music with which they are familiar. The program primarily utilizes guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, vocals, technology and computers.
Joining Eisenreich as co-instructor will be is Bryan Powell, director of higher education and programs at Little Kids Rock. Little Kids Rock is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring weekly education classes, expanding music programs and innovating teaching methods.
"The workshop is a great way to engage the community and establish connections between the next generation of music educators and those already established in the workforce," said Powell. "SRU provides a great resource to initiate such relationships."
For more details on the workshop, contact Eisenreich at: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Having a Voice
Posted by Maria Certo on Monday, October 17, 2011
Growing into yourself is a life long journey.
When we are younger, we tend to hold back on our expression because
we fear the repercussions of our actions.
We worry about being judged or abandoned by our loved ones, friends or coworkers.
As one ages, our self worth strengthens through the wisdom of living.
Through the years, we come to realize that what we voice to others is our own self expression of who we are.
One learns that speaking their truth for the higher good of all involved is key to the soul's evolvement.
As we begin to speak our thoughts and feelings out loud, our true self is revealed.
The grace of aging allows this voice to be heard.
Everyone requires acknowledgement.
When I was 14, I was voted most quiet in my class.
I knew that my classmates were going to choose me for that title.
It upset me because I didn't view myself in this light.
Inside, I knew I had so much to say, but no one was present enough to listen as they were tied to their own agenda based on their youth.
As I evolved and formed my identity throughout the years, I found my voice.
Around the age of 30, I reached a turning point in my life.
This was the time period on my path when I began to awakened to all that surrounded me.
Clarity arrived to the forefront of my consciousness
Each and every year thereafter, I became wiser and wiser and felt the comfort of my inner self.
There is so much beauty in the aging process.
What once felt awkward, no longer has any power over you.
Insecurities fall by the wayside and self love fill its space.
Your voice becomes your core expression for all who are willing to listen.
You form your own circle of energy that resonates with your vibration.
You live life fully and without doubt.
Aging is God's voice shouting joyously to your soul to love the process of life.

Long before she became known globally for a much-loved, hugely successful portfolio of perfumes, Vera Wang earned a reputation as the 'ultimate' bridalwear designer.
This native New Yorker had come personally to understand all the frustrations of shopping for wedding dresses – as she once told The Perfume Society's Co-Founder Jo Fairley, in an interview for Wedding Day magazine.
'I was forty years old, and I'd walk into all these bridal salons in New York City that were geared to women maximum aged twenty-six, and I felt totally out of place,' explained Vera, who was previously the youngest-ever Vogue fashion editor at the age of 23 (working with photographers like Irving Penn and Richard Avedon), before leaving to work as a designer for Ralph Lauren. She subsequently took up a third – and most distinguished – career, designing some of the most beautiful wedding dresses ever created.
'Having worked in fashion, there was nothing I could relate to in the bridal world,' she told Jo, during their interview, when Vera Wang spread her wings – to Harrods – from the US. 'Not a simple bias-cut slip, or even a beautiful crêpe trouser suit. Everything was literally a meringue – and it wasn't enough to have bows; the bows had to have lace on them, and more bows, and flowers, and sequins, with something very similar to go on the head. And there was no way that a fashion-savvy woman of forty, in her right mind, was going to wear something like that.'
Vera Wang had spotted a gap – well, more of a Grand Canyon – in the market. Her father agreed to back her. And the rest, frankly, became wedding-dress history. Even before she opened her Manhattan boutique, showcasing beautifully-constructed, exquisitely elegant designs, Vera had brides pounding on the glass doors begging to buy the samples straight off the rack.
In the blink of an eye, some of the world's most famous (or engaged-to-the-famous) women were beating a path to her salon for dresses in which to take their vows: from Sharon Stone, who wore a simple Vera Wang caramel chiffon skirt and a silk sleeveless turtle-neck for her wedding to newsman Phil Bronstein, to Pete Sampras's blonde bride Bridgette (halterneck white crêpe), via Victoria Beckham, whose duchesse satin show-stopper was constructed over a couture corset that cinched her waist to a breathtaking 16 inches, and which was splashed across page after glossy Hello page.
Vera's extraordinary talent for design, and her couture skills, have also translated to the red carpet realm, with special occasion gowns for society women and actresses. And today, Vera Wang has expanded into a lifestyle brand, with accessories, eye glasses, sportswear and exquisite items for the home, embracing absolutely everything a chic newlywed might need. In 2005, the Council of Fashion Designers of America honoured Vera's dedication to her craft, and her innovation, by naming her 'Womenswear Designer of the Year'.
But another aspect of weddings to which Vera Wang soon encouraged women to turn their attention was fragrance – first launching a signature scent of her own, as wedding-perfect as fragrance gets. Vera Wang for Women (above left) is elegant and covetable as any Vera Wang dress: an intimate bouquet of white flowers (think tuberose, gardenia, stephanotis and lily of the valley) which is part-seductress, part-ingenue, and totally wearable. (Whether you're getting married or not, of course.) It became an instant bestseller – and has since been joined by other incredibly successful scents, tapping into women's innate and enduring desire for femininity and glamour.
The whimsical Vera Wang Princess, for instance – 'for the fashion forward "It" girl in her teens and twenties' – is a fruity floral that's sheer as chiffon, sparkling with apples and water lily, alongside golden apricot and mandarin meringue, with a bouquet of white flowers at its heart – and touches of dark chocolate, vanilla, amber and forbidden woods, swirling at its base.
And the stunningly-bottled Vera Wang Lovestruck (left), Vera explains, 'is about the emotion and rush you feel when you are falling in love and going for it… those heart-pounding moments of spontaneity.' It was inspired by a modern-day twist on Romeo & Juliet, designed to capture the sense of a woman who's struck by love and captivated by passion. Modern, feminine and romantic, it offers pink guava, mandarin and a delicate tuberose note, underpinned by sensual woods.
The signature of each and every new fragrances echoes the signature of Vera Wang's designs. Always feminine. Always alluring. And always with the understanding that while we may not walk down the aisle every day of our lives, we still always want to feel special…

Visionaries of such films as Pumzi, White and Planet created their films to present an ever present increasing truth. We live in a society which is becoming more millitaristic and oppressive towards its citizens. Killing and harassing citizens for the color of their skin and economic status. We do not want to believe acknowledge a fellow human can kill another for the acts of walking, breathing and driving. Our homes are being invaded by police turned storm troopers. Sanctioned by those sworn to protect its citizentry. Instead our rights are being stripped away daily.
I participated as a panelist recently where these films were discussed. The films were great, it's the discussion which caused concern. Audience members were not familiar with some of the concepts introduced, and tried their best to find ways inwhich to enter a futuristic disconnected discourse. I informed my host in detail what my presentation would address. Our communities are in need of clear messages for saving our lives. Meaning I was able to stay on topic, with the information I came to share. Sadly, there was an attempt to steer me away from race and oppression as it relates to environmental justice, to no avail. This was rooted in the ever present desire to protect the sensibilities of White audience members. We need truth tellers.
I spent time trying to adjust my seating. My fellow panelist seated next to me blocked my view of the moderator. This was awkward and audience members noticed. It was cumbersome trying to gain access to my materials and water without being noticed. Panels work best when utilizing long tables. This gives panelists needed room for water and materials. Our moderator should have been a fellow panelist. In all fairness she tried to keep the conversation on track and encourage the audience to participate. The audience did not connect on a real and needed level. This was a missed opportunity for audience members to learn and engage in what could have been a passionate discussion.
What was the missing link? Needed was a discussion/conversation that contributed to audience members leaving with an understanding of environmental justice, climate change, natural disasters, global warming, ecology and those responsible for the inequalities. The need to connect environmental justice with their daily lives. We as Blacks, people of color and poor people are most affected by environmental injustice. Discussions and the futuristic are all interesting. However, the question remains how are we going to live healthy lives today within our community? How are we going to receive the quality and equal services afforded wealthy communities?

Charlottesville, VA — Nov. 26, 2007 — As science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education reform continues to be a high priority, educators are striving to find ways to improve the science achievement of their students. One specific solution educators are focusing on is content area literacy. Students must understand at least 90 percent of written text in order to learn new science concepts through independent reading. Dynamic Literacy, a developer of vocabulary curriculum, offers educators a way to expand their students' science vocabulary through the WordBuild Vocabulary Development System.
Content area literacy, or reading to learn, is possible when students possess the knowledge to comprehend the language used to deliver content area instruction. To increase content area literacy in science, students must be taught strategies to use in deriving the meanings of unfamiliar words. The WordBuild Vocabulary Development System teaches the critical thinking skills students need to identify science words that are likely to be found on standardized tests.
"Our middle school language arts teachers have been using the WordBuild Vocabulary Development System for the past three years," said Sandra Whitaker, 6-12 Language Arts Coordinator for Albemarle County Public Schools. "The program teaches students how to pull apart and put together words again, as a way to decipher unfamiliar words when presented with few or no context clues. As a result, teachers in other academic subjects have noticed a vast improvement in their students' reading comprehension skills."
The WordBuild Vocabulary Development System is a series of educational materials designed to improve vocabulary, language and reading comprehension skills for students in grades 3-12. The program is based on morphology, or the study of the units of meaning in words. Similar to how phonics helps a student "sound out" unfamiliar words, a mastery of Morphics helps a student "mean out" unfamiliar words. The curriculum teaches students how English words are constructed by focusing on the meanings of prefixes, roots and suffixes, also known as morphemes. Once students learn the definitions of common morphemes, they gain the skills to decipher thousands of unfamiliar words, and their vocabularies increase exponentially.
The WordBuild Vocabulary Development System consists of two series, Foundations and Elements. Intended for grades 3-5, but available for vocabulary instruction intervention for grades 6 and up, Foundations contains two years of morphics-based instruction. Elements is intended for grades 5-9, but is available for vocabulary instruction intervention for grades 10 and up, and contains three years of morphics-based instruction.
Dynamic Literacy has published a supplemental guide for educators entitled, "Using the WordBuild Vocabulary Development System to Improve Student Performance in Science." To download a copy, visit www.dynamicliteracy.com/resources.php.

Kurt Hessenberg
Kurt Hessenberg (17 August 1908 – 17 June 1994) was a German composer and professor at the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst in Frankfurt am Main.
Kurt Hessenberg was born on 17 August 1908 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, as the fourth and last child of the lawyer Eduard Hessenberg and his wife Emma, née Kugler. Among his ancestors was Heinrich Hoffmann, whose famous children's book Struwwelpeter Hessenberg was to arrange for children's choir (op. 49) later in his life. From 1927–1931 Hessenberg studied at the Leipzig Conservatory. Among his teachers were Günter Raphael (composition) and Robert Teichmüller (piano). In 1933 Hessenberg became a teacher at the Hoch'sche Konservatorium in Frankfurt am Main, where he himself had taken his earliest music lessons. In 1940 Hessenberg received the "Nationaler Kompositionspreis" (national prize for composition), joined the NSDAP in 1942,[1] and in 1951 he was awarded the Robert-Schumann-Prize of the city of Düsseldorf for his cantata "Vom Wesen und Vergehen" op. 45. Hessenberg was appointed professor of composition at the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst in 1953 and taught there until his retirement in 1973.

Summarized from Number Nine web sites
Number Nine launches "Ticket To Ride IV," its fourth and most powerful 128-bit 3D/2D/Video graphics chip
Number Nine delivers advanced, single chip 3D/2D/MPEG coprocessor
LEXINGTON, Mass., May 26, 1998 -- Number Nine Visual Technology Cop. (NASDAQ: NINE) today announced and demonstrated its fourth generation, 128-bit fully integrated 3D, 2D and MPEG graphics coprocessor -- "Ticket To Ride IV." Ticket to Ride IV delivers almost a three-fold performance increase over the prior generation Ticket To Ride processor, which powered the Revolution 3D, the most award-winning graphics accelerator in Number Nines 16-year history.
Ticket To Ride IV continues the company's commitment to the development of powerful graphics technology for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT and Macintosh personal computers -- designed for the most demanding corporate, 3D and multimedia graphics users -- including support for HDTV resolutions up to 1920x1080. Newly implemented features include; an Intelligent Resource Processor (IRP), a Programmable Latency Memory Controller (PLMC), and an integrated 250MHz RAM DAC.
"Ticket To Ride IV is one of the most powerful, fully integrated, graphics controllers on the market," said Andy Najda, chief executive officer and founder of Number Nine Visual Technology. "This processor allows Number Nine and OEM vendors to design world-class, high-performance 3D/Video and 2D graphics accelerator boards at very competitive price points. Graphics boards designed with Ticket To Ride IV should please the most demanding corporate, 3D and multimedia graphics users in any market or industry."
Dr. Jon Peddie, President of the market research firm Jon Peddie Associates of Tiburon, California said, "The market for 3D controllers is in an explosive stage and were forecasting over 70 million units will be shipped this year. Number Nine was the first to bring out a 128-bit controller with the Imagine 128 in 1994. This is their fourth generation 128-bit part and their experience shows. The new Programmable Latency Memory Controller, and 10-level of detail mip-mapping with tri-linear filtering is world-class technology."
Using a graphics accelerator powered by the Ticket To Ride IV, business professionals will be able to view massive spreadsheets on high performance monitors. Engineers will be able to manipulate complex 3D models in real time. Desktop artists will gain the horsepower needed to smoothly scroll large, true-color images as they work, without waiting for screens to refresh.
Outside of business hours, Ticket To Ride IV sports the video processing power needed to watch high-detail, full-motion MPEG-II video. It also delivers high-end 3D gaming capabilities supporting higher resolutions and frame rates than most existing 3D gaming cards.
Utilizing Number Nines proprietary 128-bit WideBus technology, graphics data is channeled by the newly implemented Intelligent Resource Processor (IRP) through multiple 128-bit wide data highways into two separate, yet integrated and tightly coupled 128-bit graphics engines one for 2D, one for 3D/Video. Utilizing a 128-bit wide, 250 MHz. integrated DAC (digital to analog converter), Ticket To Ride IV enables lower cost, yet powerful graphics solutions to be built that support todays highest performance monitors at resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at very high refresh rates.
2 Gigabytes per second onboard processing and full AGP 2X support
Ticket To Ride IV is ideal for todays fastest Pentium ® II CPUs. Ticket To Ride IV frees the host CPU of graphics processing tasks, allowing it to concentrate on recalculating spreadsheets and spell-checking documents. This approach speeds system performance. With full AGP 2X support, graphic instructions are transferred from the host, via the AGP bus, at speeds up to 533 megabytes a second. Once onboard, large amounts of 3D texture data can be stored locally in up to 32 MB of onboard graphics memory, efficiently processed at speeds in excess of two gigabytes a second.
New - Programmable latency memory controller moves data up to 25 percent faster
Ticket To Ride IV is one of the only graphic chips on the market today to support a Programmable Latency Memory Controller (PLMC). Using the PLMC, graphics accelerators can be designed to transfer data up to 25 percent faster using standard SGRAM graphics memory. This approach differs from graphics processors designed with fixed memory latency (the initial time required to set up the memory to receive data). The PLMC reduces the time required to setup the memory for each and every data transfer.
New - Powerful 128-bit integrated DAC supports 1920x1200
Ticket To Ride IV supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 (HDTV) at 65K colors at refresh rates up to 83 Hz. or 16.8 million colors (32-bits / pixel) at resolutions to 1600 x 1200 at up to 92 Hz.- using as little as 8MB of low-cost SGRAM. The graphics chip processes eight 16-bit pixels per instruction cycle, then streams the digital data along multiple 128-bit wide data highways to a pair of color lookup tables. These color lookup tables process data in parallel, converting it into analog data with the integrated Palette DAC (digital to analog converter), running at a blazing 250 MHz. True hardware zooming is also supported, allowing users to instantly zoom in and out within any application -- on demand. With the chips 128-bit processors, wide data paths, advanced memory controller and high-speed integrated DAC, low cost, single ported graphics memory can be used to support todays most demanding monitors.
Ready for 4-D and GDI-2K
Ticket To Ride IV, like its predecessor Ticket to Ride, supports Microsofts proposed 4-D/GDI-2K graphics interface standard, previewed at the recent Microsoft-sponsored Windows Hardware Developers Conference (WinHec). These standards, when implemented, improve the user interface for 2D and 3D applications, making it easier for users to work with and navigate around the computer. For example, 3D images may be manipulated as whole objects in non-rectangular or borderless windows. Pop-up and pull-down menus fade in and out, while application windows become translucent, allowing users to peer through foreground application windows on demand. Simply, 2D applications benefit from 3D hardware features that were once reserved for high-end engineering applications and advanced 3D games.
Worlds first 256-bit memory interface and flexible memory configurations
Most popular graphics processors can support a maximum of only 4 or 8MB of graphics memory. This is not adequate for todays 3D applications, which require higher resolutions than those available with game-oriented accelerators. 3D applications must also store 3D textures in onboard memory for fast, efficient 3D processing. Additionally, most competing processors offer a maximum 64-bit memory to DAC interface, which limits available supported resolutions and color depths. Number Nines Ticket To Ride IV processor is the only mass-market graphics chip to support up to 32MB of high-bandwidth, low-latency SGRAM, with an exclusive 128-bit memory interface to the DAC. Ticket to Ride IV also supports a 256-bit memory interface when using dual ported, interleaved WRAM graphics memory and a 128-bit wide, high-speed external Palette DAC for specialized applications.
Advanced Ticket to Ride IV features:
The Ticket To Ride IV processor will begin sampling in the second quarter of 1998 with volume production in the third quarter of 1998.

Lethal lovelies
A good number of members and visitors attended the September meeting of Seahouses WI and we were very pleased to welcome John Robertson, from the Borders, who gave us an insight into the various weeds and herbs growing in our gardens.
His lecture was entitled 'Lethal Lovelies', which some of them most certainly are, attractive though they may be.
He introduced us to the 'do not touch, do not smell, do not eat' variety.
He mentioned ragwort, dangerous especially to horses, the toxins in yew, nightshade, and even our lovely daffodil bulbs – mistaken sometimes for onions, and how and why giant hogweed can affect us, some plants make us sneeze, not forgetting the foxglove (digitalis) and hemlock. Rhubarb leaves are poison.
Monkshood was also mentioned, plus our ordinary tea and coffee (containing caffeine). Castor oil plants produce black berries – these are ricinus seeds.
Finally, on to opium, cocaine and cannabis, concluding by mentioning tobacco and rosemary.
All drugs are dangerous and must be taken in moderation. The effect on our human systems was explained.
Mrs Peggy Wood gave the vote of thanks, expressing the thoughts of all of us to be careful.
Mrs Pat Minto, our president, then opened the meeting as there were several items of interest to discuss. These included the minutes of our last meeting, held in July, and forthcoming events, such as Embleton's birthday and Craster singing.
There will be a Georgian afternoon at Bamburgh on September 26, our next pub lunch at the Fishing Boat Inn, Boulmer, on September 26, and the National Federation meeting next June at Brighton.
A centenary celebration will be at the Abbey on Thursday, November 26, at 1.45pm, there will be a walk around Wark on October 10, Down Your Way at Thropton on October 15, a cookery demonstration in Bamburgh Pavilion on October 22, and Christmas flowers and afternoon tea at Glendale Middle School, Wooler, on Saturday, November 21.
Our afternoon cream tea, held on August 20, had been a success and it is proposed that we host a similar event next year.
Plans are in hand for our Christmas lunch and our centenary afternoon tea at Doxford Hall.
Centenary badges were presented to four members for their work during the last few years. These were to Mrs Eileen Braidford (pub lunches), Mrs Doreen Edmision (competitions) Mrs M Turner (reports) and Mrs Gladys MacLachlan (raffle).
The competition, a pretty arrangement of weeds, was won by Mrs Pat Hewitt, Mrs Sheila Young and Mrs Doreen Edmison.
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, October 6, when we will welcome Ms Elspeth Horsfield, demonstrating Painting on Silk.
Visitors and new members are always welcome. So come along and join us, if only for the fun, entertainment and refreshments.

The Coming Wave
In February of 2008, Sandra Long, wife of Steve Long, and senior co-pastor had the first of two dreams concerning a coming wave:
In my dream Stephen and I were in a motel asleep when I suddenly felt the room rocking back and forth. I woke up, looked out my window and saw that the tide had come right under the motel we were in. In our excitement, we went outside to see what was going on. In the distance I saw a huge blue wave. I remember walking towards the wave, pulling up a round table and two chairs on which to lay our things and then sitting down.
My husband, Stephen, Jon, my son, and Jeremy Sinnott (TACF pastor and worship leader) both began to run into the wave. Then I could see their head bobbing in and out of the wave and knew that they were having fun. I wanted to run but became frightened. I remember standing there trying to figure out whether I should sit and watch or run into the wave.
Then I woke up sensing that I didn't need to be afraid even though I didn't know the nature of the wave and that I needed to run into it. During that week, I had been struggling with whether or not I should preach at Airport for the first time or hand it off to someone else. Because of the dream, I chose to embrace the next move of that God had for me even if it looked big and I didn't know what I was doing.
At the end of March while Stephen and I were in Israel on a tour, I had a second dream.
Before I went to Israel, I was really struggling with why we were going, but I felt God said that He would meet us there. On our first day, I had a personal encounter with God that affected me deeply. The next night, I had a dream about a second wave.
In the dream, I was in a ship sitting down facing a number of open windows. I looked out and saw a huge wave coming towards the ship. I remember yelling to someone on the ship to quickly close the windows. I remember sitting down, rear for the impact that the wave would have on the ship.
I was amazed that I didn't feel fear or any concern for my safety. I remember looking outside on the other side of the boat and saw that the level of the water was rising. Rather than being hit by the wave, the boat had been picked up by the wave and was riding on top of it. All of a sudden the boat literally turned in a different direction. At that point I woke up.
The two dreams were significant for me, not only in foreseeing the outpouring in Lakeland, Florida, but also for the spreading of this move of the Spirit to Toronto and the world in a new wave of renewal. We have received many other prophetic words and visions alongside my dreams which foresaw this new wave of revival breaking out in Toronto.
Over the late months, we have seen a new level of God's power being released in worship and healing as a people are growing increasingly hungry for His presence. The key for all of us in hosting this outpouring is to position ourselves spiritually so that we are always open and ready for God to move in us and through us.
We were all destined for such a time as this. Don't let it pass you by.

Like most people, blog posting is probably not a new word to you. Running A Blog has become increasingly popular over the last ten years or so. It is a webpage usually maintained by one person on a topic that interests that person. It is personal, unlike most standard web pages, and is considered to be part of this growing social media trend. If you are thinking about starting a blog, or just want to make the one you have more interesting, continue on for some great running a blog tips.
Do not make too much use of keywords, ads, images or plug-ins on your blog. Overusing your tools will cause search engines to mark your website as spam, which will put you behind. Write in a natural manner which is enjoyable to read.
Don't ever copy things from the web. Plagiarism will ruin your credibility among your readers as well as your peers and can also result in legal action against you. While even an amateur writer can find success in blog posting, showing your passion through unique content is the only way to reach your goals.
Buy a domain name for your blog! Buying your own domain is surprisingly inexpensive and makes your blog seem more professional. Domain names, especially when they include the actual names of businesses, are generally easier for folks to remember.
Update your blog frequently with new content to keep your readers coming back for more. The most popular blogs generally post content at least once every day, often more. Daily posts can seem overwhelming, but give yourself a head start and prepare several weeks worth of posts before beginning your blog. This can help to provide you with interesting content to post on days or weeks when you're not feeling quite as motivated to write.
A great blog will ensure that your reader follows every single word. Using the tips here will help to attract readers and keep your content fresh and interesting. Some people find great pleasure in their running a blog activities, while others can actually pull in a decent income. The most important thing is to have fun.

eBusiness Weekly
A YEAR ago, it was a sleepy, penny stock that took all year for the price to rise by the same percentage as heavyweights such as Delta rose in a day. But CFI, an agro concern has become the centre of attraction as a bidding war has erupted between British tycoon Nick Van Hoogstraten and Stalap Investments (Private Limited).
The CFI shares rocketed on Monday after Stalap's 22c per share offer to minorities opened, a mere 50 shares worth $11 traded at 21,60c which was 20 percent firmer than the previously traded price.
On Tuesday, the counter did not trade but team Van Hoogstraten put in a bid of 25,90c which is 15 percent higher than Stalap's offer price.
On Wednesday, CFI traded at 25,90c with just 400 shares going through as most investors are waiting to see how much they can benefit from the bidding war. Both Stalap and Van Hoogstraten through their respective stockbrokers' have a significant war chest to ensure that they get as many shares as possible.
Since dollarisation CFI Holdings has experienced operational difficulties, which have resulted in the business reporting losses for several successive years.
Attempts to re-capitalise the business have been unsuccessful largely because of shareholder differences on the timing and mechanism of any capital raise.
The failure by the business to raise fresh capital has, among other things, resulted in the placement of two of its key subsidiaries (Victoria Foods and Agri-foods) under judicial management. NSSA and ZHL have therefore decided to pursue a strategy to gain control of CFI through a series of transactions that will result in NSSA and ZHL, working through a special purpose vehicle, emerging as the majority shareholders of CFI.
Prior to the offer to minorities CFI management have in the past weeks approached NSSA and other major shareholders with a proposal for a $12 million rights offer to raise much needed capital for the business ZHL and NSSA are in agreement that this rights issue is necessary and intend on helping CFI achieve it however opposition from Van Hoogstraten has delayed this transaction hence the move by Stalap to make an offer to minorities with the intention of acquiring a controlling stake.
Stalap is an Investment vehicle controlled by ZHL in which NSSA and Government have a 40 percent interest. According to NSSA chairman, Robin Vela "It is a typical and stand restricting that any corporate finance literate person would understand is done to gain control."
The alliance of ZHL and NSSA came into existence through a mutual understanding that, CFI needed to have a single strong shareholder who could dispel with the shareholder fight issues.
If Stalap do not achieve its target of 51 percent shareholding it will be paramount for CFI for the two parties to agree on the rights issue as it would be the only way to save the sinking group.
The proposed rights issue, post the offer to minorities, is primarily motivated by the need to address CFI`s viability challenges and creating value for shareholders through among other things providing working capital funding to its operating businesses, retooling and restructuring operations to the current operating environment.
It is proposed that funds being raised be utilised to underpin the restructuring proposals that are being pursued by the judicial manager (Reggis Saruchera of Grant Thornton Camelsa). This is in agreement with Stalap's intentions for the company.
The retail business currently has a working capital deficit which is constraining operational efficiencies and limiting it from taking advantage of existing market opportunities.
The recapitalisation will capacitate Farm and City to reclaim lost market share and expand its distribution network. The Groups' milling business of Victoria Foods and Agrifoods now have an opportunity to reset their overhead cost bases following the rationalisation measures undertaken in 2016.
Stalap has made its intentions clear that they intend to recapitalise the group in the short term, oversee resumption of operations for the businesses that were put under judicial management, enhance the Group's overall competitiveness and improve its market positioning whilst improving returns on shareholders' funds and they intend maintain the ZSE listing of the Company subject to meeting all ZSE Listings Requirements.
On the other hand, the intentions of Van Hoogstraten are unknown, the only sure thing that we know is his front man, Shingai Chibhanguza who is the deputy CEO at CFI, was last week accused of abusing office and company funds and is now under suspension. So could this be how Van Hoogstraten intends to run the company if he gains control?
However, he is prepared to fight for CFI including offering serious premiums and cash offers in a bid to also get to the key 51 percent. — Finx.

The British legends of course already turned another palatial residence into a "House of Fun" last year.
Speaking about the 2013 show at Alexandra Palace, the band said: ""Buckingham Palace didn't have a slot for us this year so we googled palaces and would you believe it there's one right round the corner from where we live. We cant play on the roof but we can certainly reign supreme at Ally Pally".
The people's palace is set to welcome the nutty boys, Madness, on 28th September with tickets on sale this Friday find out more here
Coinciding with the ticket launch, the band's link with Ally Pally goes one more step beyond, with a rather special BBC connection. Whilst fans can look forward to them playing an amazing gig here at the original home of the BBC in North London, they can get an early taste of the Madness to come on Friday March 22nd when the band play a special live set to officially close the BBC Television Center.
An hour long set in front of the London BBC TV Centre, with be broadcast live on BBC 4. On performing the band said, 'We've played at some exciting places in London lately but closing BBC TV Centre, a sad day, the end of an era, but what a celebration"

The eurozone's secret is that its pockets are a little dusty. It could print the cash to bail out Greece and but it knows that wouldn't be the end of it. Far cleaner for Germany to turn its back on the project.
This became apparent when the EU searched its undergarments for a financial girdle big enough to support the bloated, indebted Greek government. But the Greek crisis is bursting out all over. No sooner had the Athens government promised to control its spending than savers fled Greek banks.
Last weekend's €45bn loan support was supposed to stop this. I won't call the support an offer since the EU announced in advance that it was confident Greece would not need the loan.
"The Greeks won't need the money. We're just offering a loan of staggering proportions to calm the markets by showing our support for Athens." That was the line trotted out by the financial press this week.
Well, far from not needing the money, your correspondent pondered, Greeks will want it, probably before the end of the month.
The Greeks asked for the money by the end of the same week. On Friday, April 16th, 2010, the Greek government called for "discussions" with the European Central Bank on how to draw down the loan. Strictly they haven't asked for the credit to be activated but I presume they would just like to know if, err, the money is, you know, ready.
Problem is, the ECB may not have decided. On Sunday, April 11th, European finance ministers, in Eurospeak, gave the ECB a mandate to offer Greece a loan. The ECB's job was to work out the price, time span and conditions (sorry, conditionality in Eurospeak).
Athens, Monday: ECB representatives will meet the Greek government and they'd better come with a suitcase.
The eurozone finance ministers made efforts to disguise the urgency of this latest crisis. Last Sunday, ministers made frantic telephone calls, agreeing to cobble together a €45bn loan option for Greece with the help of the International Monetary Fund.
The was no explanation of why they interrupted the first sunny weekend of spring and no mention in the financial press that it might have been due to the Greek banking crisis that had snowballed the previous week. Savers withdrew €10bn from deposits in just a few days.
Now it emerges that the EU may not have the money anyway. Toby Nangle, director of asset-allocation research at Baring Investment Securities in London, told Bloomberg that market players were betting their own money on the latest EU package not going through.
The EU has form. In 2009 it waded into the gas dispute between Russia and Ukraine, making an offer to upgrade Ukraine's pipeline network without consulting Russia, whose gas flows through those pipes.
If it was an attempt by the EU to snub Russia, it backfired. The EU's promise to help finance a new gas transit network for Ukraine turned out to be a list of banks that Ukraine might like to call. Money there was none.
Now Morgan Stanley's head of research Joachim Fels has criticized the European Central Bank's decision to accept lower-grade collateral from Greek banks in return for ECB loans to help them through the crisis.
This, says Fels in a note to clients, could lead to the eurozone abandoning its commitment to good household management and result in a spiral of high spending and high inflation. Greece could not afford to exit the euro because that would mean even higher borrowing costs. Germany, on the other hand, would only benefit by exiting the euro as its credit rating would ensure much lower interest rates.
The ECB executive board are not fools. They know the risks. Board member Juergen Stark this week said the sovereign debt impasse that has Greece is suffering may be the second phase of the global financial crisis.
Of the 16 eurozone countries, 13 are in breach of EU rules to limit the gap between government income and spending.
Germany could afford to bail out Greece, which represents only three per cent of eurozone GDP. But then Portugal, Italy or several Baltic countries could be next. And it would draw protests from Ireland, which has shown the political will to tackle its funding crisis alone.
When I, along with dozens of reporters covered the launch of the single currency back in 2000, there never was a plan B. Like communism, the launch of the euro was intended to be a once-and-for-all transition to a new world.
We have discovered, in the past century, what the Gods have in store for man-made Utopias.

Art and Technology: Best Friends Forever
Rapidly-evolving technology has given the world a new outlook. It has changed the way we communicate, receive information, and focus our education. In fact, more and more people are gaining an education in science, technology, engineering, and math, collectively known as STEM. This is very exciting! There is a common misconception that I've noticed, though; that science and technology are where the money is, while professions in English and art are discredited.

Ajoutez votre grain de sel personnel… (facultatif)
Here is a memo on how you can create a simple web server delivering static content with Node.js and and Express. The content could be html files, js, css or any other kind of files that doesn't require server processing (like PHP, C#, Java, …).
But why Node.js instead of using Apache or IIS? Like you are going to see in the few lines below creating a web server with Node.js takes only few lines of code and can be up and running in 30 seconds (max!). When your purpose is only to test things the configuration of a "traditionnal" web server can be overkill.

Mortgage bond prices opened higher Tuesday morning erasing the losses seen Monday afternoon and more. Weak stocks and economic data are supporting rates.
In news released this morning, personal income, outlays and the core PCE were unchanged last month. Estimates were for a slight increase in all three data points. The lower read on the inflation data will add fuel to the DEFLATION debate that is starting to rage among bond traders. The WJS cited Bill Gross as hedging for deflation. Bill is a very smart guy and should be listened to.

Photographs from mid-October of 205 East 92nd Street by the photoblogger Field Condition.
Related Companies' playground-pouncing rental tower at 205 East 92nd Street has launched its housing lottery that provides below-market rents for 47 of the building's 231 units. The 36-story tower is in its home stretch of construction, prepping for occupancy in early 2016. Vested in the city's and state's Inclusionary Housing /421-a programs, 20 percent of the units will be reserved for low-income tenants. Fifty percent of the subsidized units will be reserved for residents of Manhattan Community Board 8 (covering the Upper East Side and Roosevelt Island) and an additional 5 percent for municipal employees.
Selected applicants will be provided apartments at a tremendous discount when compared to the neighborhood's market-rate rents. According to CityRealty, the median rental price for a one-bedroom in Yorkville stands at $3,210; and $5,398 for two-bedroom apartments. Affordable one-bedrooms at 205 East 92nd will start at $607 and two-bedrooms at $736.

here's the first item...
now back to our 'show'... i know we all have these goodies laying around. one of these has some of mike's football days from high school or jr. high on it. i could decorate the entire house with these puppies. heck, i have every episode of SNL on tape from like 1989 to 1993. plus the entire diving telecast of the 1988 Seoul Olympics (can you guess why?)
the thicker the paper you use (these papers are the Double Takes and are heavy-duty), the more difficult it is obviously. but, luckily, all i had to tape them up was packing tape so it worked out OK. :)
years from now, my son might open one of these up and find their old mom getting ready to go to her senior prom with Vinnie DeLeonardo. huh. i miss all the NY names (and hair).
i'm thinking you could do some cool labeling and cover several and put them on a bookshelf.
anywho, what can you make out of your yucky old VHS tapes?

The HunterEdit
|They say that the Black Ops project was canceled because of cruelty to children. That isn't even half true. They feared my people and what we could do.
–Ray Shishigami, Homeworld, Speaking to Javier
|Ray Shishigami
Can kill you easily.
Full Name
Raymond Desmond Shishigami
The Empire's top paid mercenary, hunter of the Paladins
The Hive
The galaxy's deadliest mercenary, the name Ray Shishigami strikes fear into all enemies of the Empire. The best mercenaries get the best jobs, and Ray has acquired a fortune through his continued work with the Empire. Where the money all goes is like the man it belongs to, a mystery. Ray is recognized as the mercenary with the highest kill count and owner of one of the deadliest mechs every created. The Empire has done everything in their power to keep this powerful killer on their side. He is played by Hawk and considered to be the main villain of Rise.
Badass OriginsEdit
Ray was a member of the failed Black Ops project, an initiative undertaken by the Empire to train child soldiers from birth into deadly assassins who can survive on any planet and kill with a minimal amount of weaponry. They were handled by the best martial artists money can buy and trained by expert marksmen. The program was shut down for a single reason, it worked too well. The Black Ops soldiers were too deadly to keep alive, and the Empire feared the idea of such deadly weapons falling out of the Empire's control. Ray is one of the last Black Ops children alive. Officially the Empire haltd the program for ethical concerns in the raising on the training of children to be fighters.
The final test for the Black Ops program was particularly grueling. The children were dropped onto planet Glacier, a desolate ice covered planet stuck in a perpetual Ice Age. The creatures that dwelled there were fiersome to behold and more terrible to fight. The Black Ops kids were told that there was one escape shuttle large enough to carry a single person off the planet. The final test was like a right of passage, teaching the children to deal with the harshest of conditions, and learning to show no mercy to anyone if it meant surviving. Ray never told anyone how many of his friends he had to kill to get off the planet alive. Each Black Ops Child has a black scorpion tattoo on their arm, and not even Ray's burns have removed it.
Bodily InjuriesEdit
Ray had worked for decades as the Empire's most deadly and loyal mercenary, doing jobs without question. As a Black Ops assassin, Ray was sent to kill one of the most powerful men in the galaxy, Commander Fury of the Hydra League. Commander Fury ruled over the planet of Brimstone and acted as one of the Three Heads of Hydra, The Three Heads are the legendary Generals of the Hydra League and their men worshipped them. Their deaths could mean the end of the war. Ray's attempt on his life failed, and the pyro maniac Fury burned him alive within his mech the Firestorm, leaving him to die. Ray was too valuable a resource to lose, so the Empire saved him. His body had been mutilated by his burns, covering it in raw skin so sensitive that Ray has to wear a bodysuit so he doesn't feel a rush of pain from something so peaceful as a breeze. It also keeps people from throwing up at the sight of his body.
Ray is cold, calculating, ruthless, and a perfectionist. He is a mercenary who takes pride in his work, and has never failed a mission. He has long since past the point of caring about morals when dealing with his jobs.
Fighting StyleEdit
Ray is skilled in fighting with a minimum of weaponry, preferring a combination of his knife and pistol in combat. Ray is an incredibly skilled hand-to-hand combat specialist knowing a variety of disciplines. It is rumored that he could destroy another H.M.V. with only his knife, but there is nothing to back these rumors up other than Ray's reputation. Ray is also a genius hacker, able to manipulate other H.M.V.s through his computer skills.
Important RelationshipsEdit
Ray used to work with an assistant named Irene who kept track of his pain medication and assignments while also keeping an eye on him for the Empire. Ray dropped her like a bad plot point as soon as his plots to overthrow the Empire became more risky.
Ray sees Axel Erachin as a rival, one of the few mercenaries to ever escape a fight with him alive. He has ruthlessly hunted Axel for a year, never letting the cowboy get too far away. Ray had betrayed Axel on the planet Vegas.
Ray works with two other mercenaries, Khenan and Earl wherever he goes. They act as his assistants and boyguards.
He also has a crush on Haruka Yoshimitsu.
Ray pilots the Hive, a mech known for its nanobot technology. The nanobots are able to form a variety of weapons for the crimson mech by connecting themselves into a certain shape.
Character ThemeEdit
'A Perfect Circle,' better known as the Wesker fight music fits Ray's cold and menacing demeanor.
Alternative versionEditRay appears as a second antagonist in the movie. He's quite aware of what is happening and tries to uncover who could be traitor in his own camp. He's helped by Earl.
|Then I can be trusted with the job, that's the kind of man I am. All I want is the payment, that's all there is to it.
–Ray Shishigami, Speaking with Alphonse on the Regal
|But hey, if you guys want to go fight to save a weak ally, then go right on ahead. I'm not risking my mech or this mission on that weak b****! Have fun with mama T-Rex.
–Ray Shishigami, Congo
