The sweet peace and wisdom of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Well, tonight He's given me a message, once step ahead of the devil as far as protecting us from the lies of the enemy. That comes in a little bit towards the end of this message.
Immediately upon coming into prayer my Lord and I were on a low lit dance floor together, alone, dancing to a worship song, Kari Jobe's song "Beautiful," which is a masterpiece of intimacy in worship. That's what was playing. I was wearing my wedding gown, and for the second time since I abstained from sweets (my little offering to the Lord since I can't do a full-on fast) I felt so totally connected to His Beautiful heart, it just took my breath away. You know, I came into prayer and began to worship and it was like He...ohh, like He inhaled me! It was so sweet and so powerful and so anointed.
Every once in awhile, we would look into each other's eyes and get lost in them, so much euphoria...just a lifting up off the ground into the heavenliness of His Being. Tears of joy trickled down my cheeks, I was so caught up and enthralled with My God's love for me.
He was so present to me, almost as if Ezekiel and I were dancing. And I thought to myself, 'This feels familiar to me, like what I have felt in the presence of my husband when he holds me, very purely to his heart.'
And Jesus answered me and said, "Yes, I love you like he does."
And I pondered that. My husband is a very kind and affectionate man and no one has ever loved me as purely as he does, almost to an excess...if you could say that, if that were possible. He is constantly praying over me, wanting to just sit with me and be in my presence when, for instance, we are praying or eating dinner together.
There's absolutely no sexual passion involved in it - it is a deep respect, an amazing recognition of our souls that overwhelms us with gratitude for the love we have for one another.
And I felt this with Jesus tonight and He confirmed it. "Yes, I love you like Ezekiel loves you. I live in him, can you feel it?"
Now that you mention it Lord, yes, I can.
"Yes, it is My presence in Him that adores you and My presence in you that makes you feel that way about him. That is the way I intended marriage to be. That is why when you grow older, sexual desire fades into the background and what emerges is a sublime and holy love for one another. That is why it is so important to marry the right man, so that in your later years you can enjoy the finer dimensions of love."
Oh, Jesus, I could spend the entire night this way.
"So could I." He answered. "Tonight perhaps you've gotten a glimpse into how much I love you? Hmm?"
Yes, I believe I did. My heart is truly at rest.
"We are practicing for our wedding dance." He said. "Don't you feel how near it is, Clare?"
I do, Lord, I am feeling it again.
He continued, "Our time is SO close, My Darling, so very close and every promise I have ever made I will indeed fulfill. You have only to keep putting your hand to the plow and till the soil for the seeds, then comes the Harvest. But now you are indeed still working in the fields and every day that goes by you are netting more fish! Believe Me, there has been a wonderful harvest of souls from this channel, but nothing in proportion to what it will be like when you are gone. Then it will be bursting at the seams!!!
"I wanted to reassure you that you are on the right track no matter how many condemnations are hurled at you."
Lord what is on your mind, tonight?
"Well, I do want to talk about the harvest of souls that is coming. I want to assure all My Brides on this channel that what they have sown while here on this Earth, they are going to reap an immense harvest from. It is difficult for you to see what the repercussions of your holy life is going to have on those who knew you. Suffice it to say that, when you some day see it, a holy shock will set in. 'Jesus did THAT through my poor little life?'
"The sufferings of persecution, labor and disappointment will continue to fuel conversions. There is a huge underground pocket of grace waiting to alight on souls who have been prepared for conversion. Imagine the oil fields. The farmers had such a rough time sustaining crops to live off of and then one day that black stuff trickled up from the ground. It was at first a nuisance but then when discovery set in, it was seen as pure black gold.
"You remember the dream Ezekiel had about the mountain property?"
Uh...You mean the one where there were gemstones lying just beneath the soil and every time we needed something all he had to do was move the dirt aside and collect a valuable faceted gem?
"Yes, that dream. You didn't know its meaning at the time but now you do. All that you suffered and experienced on that mountain was an offering to Me that now, in this day, is bearing fruit. Just so, the lives of all that have been dedicated to Me and seem barren now are going to spring into bloom in the Great Harvest.
"That is why I have taught you not to look for results, just to be faithful to Me, doing all you know in your hearts that I've called you to do. Those who look for results and rewards in this world are easily discouraged. But those who seek the reward only of making Me happy and accomplishing My will, they will be rewarded tremendously by the harvest of souls they fueled by their lives. Is it not said that the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church?
"Well, many, many have suffered a white martyrdom. They have not seen what their sacrifices have accomplished. I wish to tell you all, even if you do not see the harvest, your lives have not been in vain. You will see that in the end. And most amazingly, the simple, unrecognized praying housewives and men will be beside themselves with joy when they see what their prayers have wrought and the positions I appoint to them in Heaven. Those who have been faithful with what I have given them are going to get a promotion that is literally 'out of this world.' Yes, all who have labored for me will be beside themselves in joy.
"As we draw closer to your time of departure, I do not want any of you to fall into despair that your life has been worthless. Just because you are not a great evangelist or famous pastor does not mean you do not have an orchard full of fruit. Understand that it is the underpinning of your prayers that is responsible for those who bring in a huge harvest.
"When you attend a revival, such as Billy Graham has organized, and you see a young man go to the front and receive Me, know that it is the mother's prayers that birthed that young man into My kingdom, not Billy Graham, who has also received his anointing because of the prayers of others. He was anointed to cast the net, but it was the current in the great ocean, the prayers and supplications offered that drew them into the net at just the right time. This is so misunderstood on Earth, but in My Kingdom it is readily recognized.
"That is why so many who visit Heaven are amazed at the simple people that have been exalted to positions of great authority. I have been watching the hearts of My Brides, transformed into hearts very much like My own. I have seen their wounds, the scorn and contempt, the rejection, the acts of forgiveness - and their hearts look so very much like Mine. Many look for a Queen, but I look for a servant. I am a King, but I came as a servant. This is why the Bride must resemble the Groom.
"Do not imagine that fame and influence will follow you into Heaven. No, it shall be stripped from your person and all that will remain are the kindnesses and prayers you offered to the needy. All you sacrificed in your labors of love for Me will shine like the noonday sun. So great will the splendor of your glory that one from Earth will only be able to see you with great difficulty. This especially is the reward of My anonymous ones, whose only motive was love. I am telling you these things to encourage and strengthen you, for as I told you there will be many assaults against you, against your faith and hope in Me, in the coming days.
"Bring this message to remembrance and keep it accessible so that you can refer to it and put out the flaming darts of the enemy who will attempt to draw you into despair before I come for you. Many of you are weak and you need this comfort. Hold onto it, read it when temptation sets in. There are those of you on this channel who have been in the center of My will for decades, and yet the enemy has convinced you otherwise. And now that you have grown old you look back on your lives as if they had no fruit. Oh, how mistaken you are! Your good will and devotion to Me, even though you were perhaps thwarted in ministry, has netted for you thousands of souls. Yes, thousands of souls. You will see this and rejoice.
"In closing, do not allow anything to frighten or discourage you or condemn your lives. If you loved Me with all your heart, I used EVERY thing you suffered to fill My Kingdom with souls. So, rejoice in even your failures. Just wait until you see what they accomplished for Me!"

Northridge provides update on state of the district ahead of levy vote
JOHNSTOWN - Before residents in the Northridge Local School District vote on the levy for a new elementary school, district officials gave an update on the state of district.
Tuesday night district Superintendent Scott Schmidt provided residents with information on the district's state report card. Teachers spoke about innovations in teaching strategies they are implementing in the classroom. Many students spoke about opportunities they've had with the district such as attending Buckeye Boys State or participating in the middle school theater productions.
And Schmidt did talk about the district's upcoming levy. The district is seeking a combined 2.9 mill property tax and a 0.75 percent earned income tax for 30 years to build a new elementary school near the middle and high schools on Johnstown-Utica Road. The levy would also pay for mechanical and safety upgrades to the middle and high schools.

Schmidt said Northridge has the lowest effective millage rate of all school districts in Licking County at 27.9 effective mills.
The district is seeking a set dollar amount of $14 million dollars during the 30 years, and as a result County Auditor Mike Smith has told the district the millage rate is expected to drop to an effective collection rate of 2.6 mills because property values have increased, Schmidt said. He added it's hard to communicate that information with voters because the ballot language states 2.9 mills.
If the levy were to pass, collection would start in 2019. The last collection year for the district's last bond, which was used to build Northridge High School, is 2018. The effective collection rate on that bond is 2.6 mills, Schmidt said.
"We're able to share that the bond issue side of the new building is not going to cost any additional money," Schmidt said.
For a home valued at $100,000, it will cost $100 a year, he said.
Schmidt added that there is still the earned income tax portion of the levy however.
Earned income tax does not impact Social Security, pensions or any other retirement income.
Schmidt, who started with the district in August, is working to improve communications between the district and the community.
After the presentation Schmidt said he wants to listen and understand people's concerns and thoughts about the district.
"We're moving in the right direction as far as having those conversations," Schmidt said. "Regardless of how the levy turns out, we have to focus on … having strong schools and a strong community."
Schmidt said he is putting a focus on communication with residents to make sure they have accurate information about the district and having two way communication with people.
"I know it sounds kind of silly to say two way communication, but not just us telling things or not just us listening but having that two way (conversation)," he said.

More Lanes Added to the Patent Prosecution Highway
Oct 27 2009
The Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) recently extended the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) pilot program to include agreements with the Japan Patent Office (JPO), the Danish Patent and Trademark Office (DKPTO) and the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO). These PPH pilot programs, which are similar to the existing CIPO and United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) PPH pilot project, began on October 1, 2009 and will last for a period of two years. These programs should make it quicker, easier and less costly to obtain a Canadian patent based on an application that has been allowed in one of these foreign countries.
Also effective October 1, 2009, the existing CIPO-USPTO PPH pilot program was revised to harmonize it with the three new pilot programs. The amendment allows an applicant to include claims before the office of second filing that are narrower in scope than the claims before the office of first filing while still maintaining the required "claim correspondence".
These pilot programs allow applicants to realize patent protection in Canada at a significantly earlier date in comparison to regular prosecution. Currently, there are no government fees associated with requests for prosecution under one of the PPH pilot programs.
The respective patent offices have published guidelines on requesting participation in the PPH programs. To be eligible, a patent applicant must have allowable claims in an "Office of First Filing" in order to have the equivalent patent application fast-tracked in an "Office of Second Filing". Cited prior art and claims indicated to be allowable by the Office of First Filing are provided to the Office of Second Filing.
The main requirements for eligibility in requesting participation in the PPH programs are as follows:
- The application filed in the Office of Second Filing must be an application claiming priority under the Paris Convention to the corresponding application filed in the Office of First Filing, or a PCT national phase application claiming priority from the corresponding application filed in the Office of First Filing.
- The application filed in the Office of First Filing must have one or more allowable claims.
- All claims on file in the Office of Second Filing must significantly correspond to or be narrower in scope than the claims indicated as being allowable in the Office of First Filing.
- The application filed in the Office of Second Filing must be open to public inspection.
- Examination of the application in the Office of Second Filing has been requested but not yet begun.
An applicant may be required to provide to CIPO professional translations into English or French of the corresponding Japanese, Danish or Korean patent publication, allowed claims, office actions and cited prior art references.
Please contact one of our professionals if you wish to discuss the potential benefits of a PPH program in your particular case.

SHOP SMART: Perhaps the most common question I am asked is: "How do we select the ingredients that go in our products?" If I had to answer in one sentence, it would be: "We do our best to apply science to nature". The data from scientific studies regarding the ingredients used in dietary supplements has exploded over the past 10 years. This data, coupled with input from doctors, and peer review literature helps us determine the value of each ingredient in a formula.
While it is understood that the results from these studies represent only the study participants, and cannot be expected for everyone, their value is considered.
We are proponents of and encourage everyone to be an active participant in their health care.
As you, with guidance from your healthcare provider, decide on the vitamins and dietary supplements that would be beneficial for you, we hope that your selections include OneLifeUSA products.
Your business is appreciated and your satisfaction is important to us.

I've just got back from a night away. It's late, and it's been a long day. I don't have a post in me today.
I started this blog out of envy. Both my wife and I work in books, so naturally over the years we've both toyed with the idea of writing something, but something always got in the way. And then she did it. She just sat down one day and started a blog. A proper one, too, about a grownup subject (history) that required knowledge and research. Naturally, as these things go, I had to start one too (charitable people would call it inspiration). It could not, however, involve knowledge or research. I don't know much and I'm lazy.
So I decided to do the news. No particular aspect of it, just whatever catches my eye. What usually catches my eye is the absurd, so I was devastated when a man was headbutted by a giraffe before I even had a chance to start. If you're commenting on the news, you have to stay current, so I could never go back to that. I'd missed a golden opportunity. Then a baboon was found in a Durban morgue. In a coffin marked "Swine-flu. Do not open." Swedish filmmakers were involved. And I'd missed it. Again.
Yesterday, though, my faith in the world was restored. Two men robbed a scrap dealer in Krugersdorp. They took R100 000 and some cellphones. They were dressed as policemen. But they weren't real policemen. No. They were real acting magistrates. And real partners in a Roodepoort law firm. They even had the grace to be picked up in a stolen car! It's all too beautiful.
This can't be about money. I can, at a stretch, imagine some circumstances in which people as well paid as lawyers or magistrates may desperately need some cash, but cellphones? Surely something else is at work here. I can just picture the two of them, sitting outside having a smoke after a wonderful day of being law guys:
Number one: "You know, number two, I love the law."
Number two: "I know what you mean, number one. Me too."
Number one: "No, number two, I don't think you do. I really, really love the law. And I feel we're missing out here."
Number two: "What do you mean?"
Number one: "Well, we're lawyers, right?"
Number two: "Right."
Number one: "And we're magistrates."
Number two: "Right."
Number one: "But we're missing out. The police are monopolising a whole area of the law we have no access to. It just doesn't seem fair."
Number two: "Hang on a second! A friend of mine can organise us a couple of police uniforms. We can take a day off tomorrow and spend it seeing how the other half lives!"
Number one: "Brilliant, number two, brilliant! Then the only experience of the law we'll be missing out on will be the criminal one!"
Number two: "……"
Number one: "……."
Number two: "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
The story only broke yesterday, and it all seems too strange to be true. But I hope it is. Please let it be true. And please let them go to jail. Just imagine. Here will be a pair of guys who have been lawyers, judges, policemen, accused criminals, and convicted criminals. Let's not stop there. When they come out, let's get them jobs as prison warders while they campaign to become members of parliament. Then, once they have enjoyed the experience of making the law for a while, we will have no choice but to make them Supreme Court judges. Because no-one will know our legal system better than them.

Sports area
Hotel and restaurant Kocanda offers you a lot of sports activities. For indoor sports, or when the weather is not good, you can use a newly renovated gym with two changing rooms with showers.
Large children´s playground is situated in the greenery next to the hotel, where we prepared a lot of attractions for children including a sandpit, climbing frames, slides, cableways and a climbing wall. Far and wide there is no so equipped playground and we believe that children from 3 till 12 years old will enjoy it here.
Directly in front of the hotel there is a new cycle path, along which you can go for a cycling or inline skating trip. We are a holder of the "cyclist welcome" certificate. That means that cyclists can find a bicycle storage, sports menu and basic equipment for repairs here.
In 2014 we plan to open a multi-purpose court for a pleasure of children and sporstman.
In the future we would like to support the activities of the older generation and build a senior park and a place for playing petang .
If you have any ideas how to fund these projects or you want to support us in any way, please contact us.
Near the hotel there is a newly renovated military bunker called ŘOPÍK - part of defensive line in 1938.

Improved Koha installation process developed by Catalyst IT interns
by Alex Buckley
Catalyst IT summer interns Alex Buckley and Mika Smith have been working on improving the installation process of Koha for new users.
They have updated the current web installer (adding two setup modes: basic and advanced which provide users with varying levels of control), and an onboarding tool feature which takes the user through installing data they missed in the web installer and sets up a user account for them to log into Koha with for the first time.
The benefits of this project are:
1. The user will no longer be faced with a warning message the first time they log into Koha informing them they logged in with the database administrators account, as the onboarding tool allows them to create their own unique user account.
2. Users will have at least one library, patron category, patron, item type and circulation rule in their Koha database and so they can start using koha immediately.

What's on in koha-devel #9
by Jonathan Druart
[ Originally published on the Koha and Development mailing lists: read original ]
Hello librarians and developers,
I wish you a happy new year, 2017 will be awesome, I am sure 🙂
At least it will be a great year for your favourite ILS – Koha is constantly improving and next releases will be even better than the last ones, as always 🙂
= Hea =
Some of us are still a bit hesitant about Hea because of the lack of communication around this project. It also seems that we would like to improve this tool and the way it displays data, to make it more attractive. To answer the first need, Chris wrote a privacy policy file [2]. You can send us feedback about it if things are not clear enough.
To improve data collected by Hea, I have opened 3 bug reports (actually 1 was already opened):
- Bug 14608 will add an administration page for Hea, to make it more visible and understandable
- Bug 17802 will collect ideas (and patches?) about adding geolocation of Koha's installations
- Bug 17803 introduce the idea of collecting the number of libraries per installation. It will permit to know how many libraries are actually using Koha (vs the number of installations).
If you are interested in these topics, get involved on the mailing list or the corresponding bug reports.
= Benchmarks for 16.11 =
I have compared Koha versions from 3.14.x to 16.11. The results have been posted on the wiki [3]. Everybody can replay these benchmarks easily, and some of you must do it to confirm (or not) these numbers.
One important thing is that I noticed that the template caching system is not defined by default – however it brings a significant performance boost. I have opened a bug report (Bug 7533 – Add template_cache_dir to the koha-conf.xml file) to add the entry to the koha-conf file. This patch will also add a warning to the about page if the entry is not defined. If you are running a Koha install hosted by a (good) service provider, it should be correctly defined. But if you are self-hosted, you must definitely take a look at this configuration option.
To play these benchmarks I needed to rebuild a database for each of these different versions of Koha. This job leads me to modify the scripts from the koha-misc4dev [4] repository. With these scripts I am now able to get a Koha installation fully testable (items, reindexation, psgi file, etc.) with any of these versions in a few minutes. That should be very useful for developers, especially to benchmark, bisect, archaeological digs or simply debug.
= Important bugs waiting for love =
Last month I have sent an email to koha-devel to list several important bugs waiting to be tested or QAed. It was very helpful as (almost) all of them got the expected love and have been boosted quickly. Note that we always have these kinds of important bugs, and I will try to think about a way to keep a list of them. A simple and naive approach would be to list the major, critical and blocker ones on the dashboard. Any thoughts? The one we want to see in quickly for now is Bug 17817 – Repeat this Tag (cloning) not working. It is waiting for QA.
Furthermore if you are confident with SIP you should take a look at the different SIP patches in the needs signoff (17758 Major, 17665, 17826, 16755, 15418, 13666) and signed off queues (16757, 16895 and 16899).
= Refactoring =
== Remove the biblioitems.marcxml field ==
This is the last call!
Bug 17196 has now 4 independent signoffs, we need (at least) 1 QA guy to have a look at it. If it is not pushed quickly, I will block its integration into the next release. We do not want it to be pushed close to the release date.
== Koha::Patrons ==
I have started to replace the C4::Member::GetMember subroutine with Koha::Patrons.
You can take a look at bug 17829 to see the progress (check the remote branch on github). It's a massive change as it impacts a lot of file and it depends on lot of other patches not pushed yet to master.
Using Koha::Patron will allow us to improve the REST API routes for the patron module. Moreover it will permit to manipulate patron objects and so to call the new methods recently added to our Koha::Patron module. That will make the code more readable than at the moment: only 1 patron structure will be manipulated and not 1 Koha::Patron object + the hashref returned by GetMember. Doing so the patron object will be sent to the templates and that will clean up a lot of scripts from the "members" module.
= Standardize our EXPORT =
Last month I talked about bug 17600. It did not get lot of attention. If nobody gets involved in the discussion I will put it aside.
= Template Toolkit syntax for notices =
Since Kyle's topic on the koha mailing list [1] did not receive any objections I will try and coordinate with him to move forward on this subject.
The next general IRC meeting is on February 1st, 14 UTC.
The next dev IRC meeting is on January 11th, 20 UTC.
In 2 days!
Hope to see you there!

Presentation: Adding Relationship Designators in Koha
by Stefano Bargioni
At the Library of Pontificia Università della Santa Croce, a new way to navigate entities (author, corporate and meeting names) and show relationships among them, is up and running. It is based on 1xx and 7xx (MARC21) data, especially on authid ($9) and relator terms ($e, or $j in case of 711).
We are not yet in production with RDA, but we started applying relator terms and codes some months ago [1] [2] [3].
Relationships are stored and updated in a new Koha table whenever bib records are modified. In any OPAC page where an entity is shown, a new link appears, to show a "cloud" of names related to the selected entity [4]. Relationships are shown both as a 3D sphere in movement, and a set of lists to group and count names and roles [5].
We think that this is an interesting way to discover "who influenced" and "who was influenced by", very important for a research library, its users and reference desk as well.

Koha Day held in France on January 12th
by Sonia Bouis
KohaLa, a french Koha association, organised Koha day to present new features of last Koha release, 16.11 and to make a demo for non Koha users. We also added two sessions in the morning :
- Koha Plugins : presentation and focus on a few (many thanks to Kyle who gave us special explanations during the last hackfest).
- Open source ERM : we asked AMSL staff to explain their project. By now, they will put on standby their project because the German Research Association is supporting a national german level tool (LAS:er) which will add more consortium features. Their experience on ASML shows us the importance of Knowledge database, flexible data model, interoperability and easy interface. They also learn us how community and collaboration is a centrepiece of such project. Then, we had two presentations around CORAL : the evaluation that University Lyon 3 is beginning to do on this ERM and a complete demo.
Around 70 people attended this day, thanks to Frédéric Demians (TAMIL), Paul Poulain (Biblibre) and all the KohaLa staff who have participated in presentations and organisations.

Winter wheat is here to stay on Canada's prairies. Statistics Canada just released its seeded acre numbers for this fall and found that acreage is only slightly down from last year despite a late harvest and wet fall.
"Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) congratulates prairie growers for their tenacity in getting the winter wheat crop in the ground after a fall that was not very forgiving," said Paul Thoroughgood, DUC's regional agrologist. "This just proves the value winter wheat provides to farmers when grown in rotation."
The seeded acreage for this fall is 1.245 million acres, down from the 1.5 million acres seeded last year. The provincial breakdown for winter wheat acres seeded in 2008 is 475,000 in Manitoba, 450,000 in Saskatchewan and 320,000 in Alberta.
"Until 2008, winter wheat acres on the Prairies have increased every year since 2004. This year ends up being very similar to the seeded acreage of 2006," said Thoroughgood. "New varieties, improved marketing options and the agronomic advantages provided by winter wheat have made it an attractive choice for many growers. Farmers know growing winter wheat is a great way to adapt to variable growing conditions."
According to Thoroughgood, some other winter wheat benefits include:
• Higher yields: 15 to 40 per cent higher than spring sown wheat. Available varieties are suitable for milling, feed and ethanol markets
• Great ecological mechanism to manage development of pesticide resistance in wild oats
• Pest Avoidance: Avoids common wheat pests such as orange blossom wheat midge and wheat stem sawfly, eliminating insecticide applications
• Disease Avoidance: Matures earlier, so escapes disease such as fusarium head blight
The increase in winter wheat acres is also beneficial to spring nesting waterfowl, particularly northern pintails, a species that has declined since the late 1970s. This benefit to waterfowl has led DUC to invest in excess of $3.5 million in support of variety development, agronomic research, producer group support and financial incentives to producers in the past seven years.
DUC works with Canadian farmers, ranchers and landowners to help implement sustainable agricultural and environmental practices that also improve their bottom line.

Gracious Greetings & Stay Workshop
Teach Your Dog to Self Control.Start Now
Dog's jump. They jump to greet people, to get what they want, as part of play, and because it is part of a dog's natural behavioral repertoire. However, for dog's to live successfully with people, the natural tendency to jump needs to be curbed and replaced with more polite
choices. This workshop will concentrate on a progressive series of exercises to help you 'de-jump' your dog and learn to offer four paws on the floor as an alternative to get what they want, including greeting people, having their meals placed on the floor, and walking through doorways.

Australia women's coach Alen Stajcic fired before World Cup
SYDNEY (AP) — Alen Stajcic has been fired as Australia's head coach just five months out from the Women's World Cup, where the Matildas will start as one of the six seeded teams.
Football Federation Australia chief executive David Gallop told a news conference on Saturday that Stajcic will immediately leave the role he has held since 2014, and overseen one of the team's most successful eras, despite still having nine months remaining on his contract.
Gallop said the decision to fire Stajcic was made on the basis of two confidential surveys. One was conducted by Australia's Professional Footballers Association and the other by Our Watch — a national organization which aims to end violence against women. There had also been conversations with players and team staff.
Gallop said while he could not provide specific details because of the need for confidentiality, the surveys had highlighted workplace and player welfare issues.
"It's difficult to go into specifics because of the confidentiality arrangement around the surveys," he said. "Ultimately the responsibility for changing cultures rests with the head coach.
"We no longer feel confident that Alen is the right person to lead the team and staff."
Gallop said the survey findings were serious and indicated the situation within the Australia team had deteriorated in recent months.
"We're not in a plateau position, we're in a deteriorating position," he said.
Stajcic had been informed of the FFA's decision Saturday morning. He has yet to make any comment, but later Saturday received public support from Football Coach's Australia, which said in a statement it will continue to support Stajcic, including "the facilitation of independent legal representation to assist (him) in exploring all available options."
"Alen is a valued member of FCA and will receive our full support during this difficult period," FCA President Phil Moss said. "Alen has overseen one of the most successful periods in Australian football history, having led the Matildas to the quarterfinals of the 2015 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games, and the final of the 2018 Asian Cup, as well as being the inaugural winner of the Tournament of Nations in 2017."
Ros Moriarty, Chair of the FFA Women's Football Council, said the organization was unaware of the sudden decision to fire Stajcic.
"The FFA Women's Council was not made aware of the intention to terminate Alen Stajcic's contract, and will request full details of how stakeholder surveys escalated to a sudden sacking," Moriarty said. "I would like to understand what specific feedback has left our national women's team in a World Cup year, without the leader who has orchestrated their success over the past few years."
Australia is due to play New Zealand, South Korea and Argentina in a Tournament of Nations in Australia from Feb. 8.
The Matildas will also face the United States in an exhibition before the World Cup in France in June. Australia is in a group with Italy, Jamaica and Brazil.
Stajcic became head coach in 2014 after Hesterine de Reus was fired following disputes with senior players.
In July, New Zealand fired its national women's coach, Austria-born Andreas Heraf, after an investigation sparked by complaints from players about bullying and intimidation.

I was recently listening to an audiobook discussing current trends in American churches. One of the topics addressed by the author was how men of God from previous generations have approached the task of leading God's flock. In particular, the author spent much time commenting on the preaching of one of the most well-respected pastors of the 19th century: Charles Spurgeon.
Spurgeon is perhaps the most admired, quoted, and studied preacher in recent history. Why? He is regarded simply as a 'great' preacher of the word of God. Many of his sermons are available either online or in print. Moreover, he pastored the same church for several decades, preaching to thousands of people on a weekly basis.
Much more could be said about Charles Spurgeon, but is this the way to judge the efficacy of pastoral ministry (i.e. admirable sermons, widespread influence, etc.)? I want to argue that it is not; in fact, a biblical pastor's effectiveness is not seen in what he produces, but what those under his influence accomplish.
The basis for this claim is found in Ephesians 4:11-12, where the apostle Paul states that pastors are given to the church to equip the saints for the work of the ministry. The 'work' of the Church is stated elsewhere as the Great Commission (Matt. 28:18-20), also referred to as the ministry of reconciliation (2 Cor. 5:18-20). Based on these passages, it seems that pastors are here to equip the people of God to preach the gospel and make disciples. Is that what Charles Spurgeon is known for? Better yet, is that what your pastor is known for? If you are a pastor, is that what you are doing?
Consider the following analogy: suppose you spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of your time attending college. When graduation time came, your parents wanted to know what degree you earned and what your career plans were. You informed them that you were not properly trained for any career but you enjoyed your college experience. What would they think? They would probably wonder, "How could you spend so much time (and money) pursuing higher education but never learn enough to get a decent job?" Also, what kind of university employs professors who fail to 'equip' their students with the knowledge and skills needed to fulfill their purpose? In the same way, why is it that church members can spend so many years receiving biblical 'education' but never learn how to make disciples? Maybe it is because the mandate issued in Ephesians 4:11-12 is not taken very seriously by the leadership.
The mark of a biblical pastor is that his people are being equipped to evangelize unbelievers and make disciples. In other words, the primary biblical fruit of pastoral ministry is best seen in what the people, not the pastor, are doing. If the vast majority of a congregation is not ever trained on how to both share and defend the gospel of Jesus Christ, something is terribly wrong with the leader's priorities.
It is common knowledge that many pastors have a plethora of responsibilities. As such, they deserve support and encouragement. However, it is also important that the primary task of equipping their people for disciple-making is not neglected. After all, this is precisely what the apostle Paul encouraged young Timothy to do (2 Tim. 2:2).
To assess your church's faithfulness to this mandate, consider the following diagnostic questions: are you better prepared to share the gospel with Muslims as a result of the preaching/leadership of your pastor? What about atheists, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, indifferent teenagers, etc? Are you able to teach someone the meaning of the scriptures because your pastor has taught you (directly or indirectly) how to? Are you ready to baptize a new believer if you were so petitioned, or would you have to rely on the pastor to do it because you are ill-equipped for the task? Speaking of Jehovah's Witnesses, there is a reason why they are widely known for their outreach attempts. Their leaders impress upon them the urgency of the preaching work, and the leaders lead by example. Perhaps many pastors today can learn something from those who lead this cultic group.
Indeed, if we are going to recognize Spurgeon for his contributions to the cause of Christ, it should be because of the people who were equipped to make disciples through his ministry, not for his wonderful sermons. Again, pastors were not given to merely preach good messages (as important as that is) but to equip their people to pursue the Great Commission. Was that the focus of Spurgeon's ministry? More importantly, can that be said about your pastor?
My purpose here is not to belittle the efforts of those in pastoral ministry. Rather, the goal is to challenge us to reevaluate the purpose of our church experiences. A biblical pastor is not one who merely does meaningful things for his congregants. Instead, a biblical pastor equips his people to carry out the mission Christ left for His Church. A church should not simply be known for all the pastor is doing; it should be recognized for what the congregation does. Is this happening in your church? If not, let's pray that it will become a reality sooner rather than later.

When this student is elected prom queen, her first reaction is to call her mother. When her mom dressed her for prom, this student saw the pride in her eyes and realized how much she had sacrificed for her family. She explains that her family was very wealthy in their native Nicaragua, but that when communism spread, her father was seen as an enemy of the government and her brothers were likely to be enrolled in the army and brainwashed.
This student realizes that her achievements cannot be understood in isolation, for the person she has become is in large part the result of her family upbringing. Instead of self-absorbedly basking in her own pride, she expresses her gratitude for the sacrifices that other people have made in order to protect her happiness.
The family decided to leave for the United States, leaving everything behind to start a new life. Her pregnant mother had to leave first, on her own, so as not to attract suspicion, and one year later her husband and children joined her in the United States. Although this student's parents have had to adjust to a new culture and give up on material riches, she feels that they are now a united family, stronger than before. On prom night, she realizes that her prom queen crown should go to her mother, who sacrificed her life for her and has supported all of her accomplishments.
In the same way that difficult stories and emotional moments have turned the Freedom Writers into a more united group, this student's family turned a life-threatening situation into an opportunity to unite and overcome external obstacles. This student considers such a bond infinitely greater than material goods—greater, even, than the possibility of seeing her success as something of her own making, detached from her environment.

Escambia County courthouse to close early Friday for active shooter exercise
The Escambia County courthouse will close early Friday for an active shooter exercise in the afternoon.
The M.C. Blanchard Judicial Building in downtown Pensacola will close at noon instead of its normal time at 5 p.m.
The court will function as normal between 8 a.m. and noon. But starting at noon, the Escambia County Clerk of the Circuit Court will have limited staff available on the first floor of the Board of County Commissioners Building, 221 Palafox Place. The staff will only be available for filing emergency matters, such as petitions for domestic violence injunctions and Baker Act and Marchman Act petitions.
E-filing of documents will not be affected by the courthouse closure.
The streets surrounding the courthouse will not be closed during the drill. However, traffic on some streets, including Government, Spring, Baylen and Main streets, "may be affected for the duration of the exercise," according to a news release about the closure.
The Escambia County Sheriff's Office, in conjunction with the the First Judicial Circuit, is conducting the active shooter exercise. The drill is designed to assess how court leadership, stakeholders, staff and law enforcement agencies respond to an active shooter scenario within the courthouse, according to a news release.
In addition to the ECSO and the First Judicial Circuit, the following agencies will participate in the exercise: Escambia County Clerk of the Circuit Court; Office of the Public Defender; Office of the State Attorney; Escambia County Board of County Commissioners administration; Escambia County Fire, EMS, 911 Communications and Corrections; and Pensacola police, fire and EMS departments.

Container-Grown Longleaf Pine Seedling QualityThis article is part of a larger document. View the larger document here.
This study examines the comparative hardiness of various classes or grades of container-grown longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) seedlings. Most container longleaf seedlings are grown in small ribbed containers averaging 5 to 7 cubic inches in volume and 3 to 6 inches in depth. Great variability is often exhibited in typical lots of container-grown longleaf pine seedlings. Longleaf seedlings are usually sold on a per-thousand basis and an average lot of 1000 seedlings will contain "good" or "target" seedlings, "doubles" (two seedlings per plug), "floppies" or "culls", and "sonderegger" (hybrid loblolly x longleaf) seedlings. This study examines the relative survival rates of these four seedling types in the first growing season.

There are a host of benefits to having a remote car starter. The ability to preheat and defrost your car on a cold day with the click of a button, for one. Of course, there is also your average car alarm with a remote start, but on top of that, also a bunch of other alerts and security features. Then there is simply the peace of mind and that feeling of luxury in the palm of your hand.
You might be thinking, "But wait, my car didn't come with a remote start feature." Well, it turns out that there are actually aftermarket remote car starters out there that you can purchase and have installed just like that.
Here, we will look at a few things you need to know when purchasing a remote car starter as well as some of the best remote car starters on the market.
Things to Consider Before Buying a Remote Starter
Cars with remote start definitely have their benefits, but you should take just a few things into account before moving forward.
First, you want to make sure that the starter is professionally installed. The installation process can be fairly complicated and even if you think you, your cousin, or your next-door neighbor have enough technical know-how to get the job done, you still should not risk it.
You will also want to be sure you buy a car remote starter that has enough range and power. Pay specific attention to the range listed by the manufacturer. You may think that a remote starter with a range of 500 feet is plenty, but that range can certainly be diminished with other objects in the way. You want to be able to start your car from inside a building, right? With that in mind, be on the lookout for models that tout higher levels of range (another with 1,000 is pretty solid).
Another thing you should do before buying a remote starter makes sure that it has the right amount of features. If all you want is the ability to start your car from far away, then maybe a bare bones model is fine for you. Other models have added functions such as keyless entry, heated seats, window defrost, and smartphone compatibility.
Also, take special note of the warranty that the remote starter comes with to make sure that you are covered if any problems should arise. All in all, just like you would do with any car purchase, be sure that you do the proper amount of research before jumping into anything.

Making Sure You Get the Most Out of Your Remote Car Starter
The remote car start function and the other features offered by a remote car starter can provide much-needed security and convenience to your driving experience. However, while having a starter with all the bells and whistles may make you feel like you have your own private security system, you will still want to take the appropriate precautions when it comes to your vehicle's security. Constantly check your remote system to ensure the security settings are up to snuff. If you pair a smartphone with your system, make sure you frequently change the phone's password.
Making sure you get the most out of your remote car starter does require some attention on your part, because although it may seem like it, not everything can be done with just the press of a button.

The Romantic-Conservative
by Zoe Pollock
Adam Gopnik's survey of Churchill is a spot-on read, with all the right flourishes of detail. Here he is on Churchill's speeches:
Churchill was a cavalier statesman who could never survive roundhead strictures on ornament and theatrical excess in speaking. That's why he could supply what everyone needed in 1940: a style that would mark emphatic ends (there is no good news), conventional ideas (we are an ancient nation), and old-fashioned emphasis (we will fight). Perhaps the style never suited the time. It suited the moment. The archaic poetic allusions in the June 4th speechthe reference to King Arthur's knights, the echoes of Shakespeare and John of Gaunt's oration on Englandare there to say, "What's to fear? We've been here before." The images are stale, the metaphors are violent, the atmosphere is dramaticand the moment justifies them all.

Nairobi — When he took over the helm of the Entebbe based Air Uganda, in May 2009, Hugh Fraser was clear about his mission – rightsizing the carrier to the demands of the market and reducing costs by 30 per cent.
It is part of a new development strategy that Mr Fraser says will see the two-year-old carrier come closer to break-even point.
The early phases of the programme are already bearing fruit and Mr Fraser, who is the chief executive officer as well as the aviation director, is almost certain this will happen towards the end of next year.
Initially, the airline hoped to achieve the break-even point last year but a spike in global oil prices soon after it launched impacted negatively on its operations.
"It has been very costly running the airline, but it is not too difficult to address the most serious cost overruns. We have gone some distance and we are on a positive course," said Mr Fraser.
The plan involves getting a new fleet and reducing the head count to deliver a leaner and more flexible operation that will position it better in the region's market.
Already, Air Uganda which is owned by the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development, has replaced three 99-seater Mac Donnell Douglas MD 87 aircraft with a pair of the more fuel efficient 50-seater Canadian Regional Jet (CRJ200) series.
The move to smaller jets that require fewer crew has resulted in 40 jobs less or 26 per cent reduction in head count.
It has also allowed the carrier to reinstate its morning service to Nairobi and to lay on direct flights between Entebbe and Mombasa.
Dar es Salaam is now served six times a week while Mombasa is served three times weekly.
Flights to Zanzibar, which were initially linked to the Dar service, have been decoupled and are now linked to the Mombasa service.
More recently, the airline launched a daily service to Kigali.
"We are increasing frequency to give a better product and we hope to soon offer daily flights to Dar es Salaam. Our Kigali flights complement the existing product by Rwandair," Mr Fraser said.
Mr Fraser observed that while Kigali is the airline's third busiest regional route after Nairobi and Juba, a lot of Kigali-bound traffic still transits through Nairobi, at a higher ticket price.
To claw this back and offer more convenient direct connections between Entebbe and Nairobi, Fraser is working closely with Rwandair.
"We now operate 17 flights a week between Uganda and Kenya so we are becoming a significant airline in Uganda. The more the network grows, the more we can provide quality services not only to Uganda but to the rest of East Africa," Mr Fraser said.
Besides an ongoing review of new routes to the DRC, Air Uganda is also evaluating other points in Tanzania, Burundi and Sudan.
The airline will focus on developing Entebbe into the fastest connecting hub in the region by offering 30-minute connections within its own network.
"It is an ambitious target but it is possible in Entebbe which is not congested," said Mr Fraser.
Combined with "value" to Kigali or Nairobi, Mr Fraser believes frequency of flights is what will drive Air Uganda's growth over the next couple of years.
Describing the airline as "new, hungry and aggressive," Mr Fraser said his base fares are not a gimmick and are available on many seats across all flights on his network.

As I walked by the river at dusk on Wednesday, I was struck by a feeling of painful beauty. We are living through such strange times and yet the seasons are still turning, revealing many chances to also be grateful.
Double-edged Chord
There is a beauty in the sadness of the weeping sky
A tenderness within the madness, holding you and I
There is a twinkle through the trees although the darkness haunts
I savour bursts of love like these, don't let the worries taunt
There is a chord of hopefulness in melancholy's tune
Our loved ones are still there for us though some have left too soon
Thee is a tone of peacefulness that's present through the strangeness
Awareness has increased in us, new normal's rearranged us
This feeling maybe you have had this too, oh heartfelt sigh
There is a beauty in the sadness of the weeping sky

Date: July 2001: In regard to sighting at Mt. RAINER, Wash. Hi we read your story on your need to know page and we wanted to tell you we were there. I am ---- my son is ----- I am a troop leader for the scouts. We saw what happened that day. This thing came down from the sky, it had to be moving at 10 to 15 times the speed of sound. Then it just stopped on top of the Mt. this bluish purple beam of light came out and scanned the Mt. for a pretty long time. Everyone was snapping pictures. It totally quit as it sat there. No one could believe what they were seeing. Then it scanned all of us and took off in the blink of an eye. I told my son we were all going to make the news because we had all seen this and had pictures. Then the next thing you know there were military everywhere. They just seemed to come out of nowhere. They took all the film, all the camcorder film and told us not to talk about what we had seen if we did we would not like what would happen to us, and you could tell they meant what they said. I did not believe in UFO's before I saw this. Now that is all I think of. We have thought about telling our story to the news but I have to say, it scares me. We thought about reporting it to Mufon but I dont think we will. Could you check into this for us.and post it on your web page. We will keep in touch. You may use our account but please dont use our names. thanks.
We have talked to this person several times here are two of her letters:
June 2001: HI LINDA AND JOE thanks for responding to me it is nice to have someone to talk to about this. I have started to remember more about what is happening to me. I think they are implanting a baby in me and then came and took it. About 3 weeks ago I took a home preg test and it was + and then I had a weird dream last night that they came and took it . What is strange is I remember a doc and an alien. The dream was real strange. I woke up crying this morning it felt so real to me. So I went and got another test from the drug store and it was negative. This has scared me really bad. Has this happened to you or someone you know. And will they do this again. If I do have a child will they abduct it and does it ever stop. I know I sound crazy but it is true and I am scared, thanks for listening. --her name---
JULY 20 2001 hi LindaJoe It started happening to me again. I thought by not talking about it it would stop. I am trying not to go nuts but its not easy and I'm scared I am really scared. I think all they want to do is breed with me and then take the babies. I would like to know more about what happened to you so I know I am not a nut going nuts. I see grays and humans at the same time, do you? So I think the government has something to do with it.And the grays are kind of like the ones you have on your site.Is this the ones you see and have you seen the humans that look like Drs in scrubs. Write me back and tell me what you think. --her name--
JULY 15 2001: I live in a part of North Carolina that has few sightings. But I was riding around one night and I saw this boomarang or triangular shape in the sky. It had lights like a 747 but the shape was wrong. It flew very slowly in a straight line until it disappeared over some trees. I knew it wasn't an airplane once I got a good look at it. Unfortunately I didn't have a camera. --his name--
