God talks to us through His written Word, through others, and through nudges He plants in our minds.
He nudges me a lot and most, if not all, of the nudges, require action on my part. I find that I need to take action quickly before I talk myself out of it or, because of the magnitude, I allow someone else to talk me out of it. The one person who has been known to talk me out of following through on one of the ideas is the one person who often gets enlisted for help, my husband. In looking back over some of these ideas that came to fruition and were a tremendous amount of work, I can understand his pooh-poohing, nay-saying reticence. But since I fully believe that these nudges come from God, who am I to say, "I'm a little busy right now God; can you find someone else?" I have, after all, asked God to use me! I volunteered! And if I think the job is too big (or too much work) for me to handle, then perhaps I don't realize just how big God is. It is not uncommon, when an event or task has been completed, for me to look back on it and think, "How did I do that?" I then remind myself that I didn't do it, God did.
One nudge from God was to create a camp for our church kids so that our kids would see that there is more to church than sitting on a hard bench listening to a less-than-inspiring sermon. The thought actually came to me while I was sitting on a hard bench listening to a less-than-inspiring sermon. Since that particular sermon in 2004, which as it turns out, was inspiring after all, we have had camp for as many as 40 kids. Camp Oasis was started with a thought, out of the blue, from God.
If you haven't asked God to use you, to be His instrument, why not? And if you have, be prepared for the various ways He will take you up on his offer. The job He has in mind for you may come in the form of a thought, a nudge. Please don't shrug it off thinking, "There's no way I can do that." Remember, it was God's idea and it will be God doing it through you!

Are you thinking of launching your mobile app? Well, naturally, you would want to reach the maximum of your target audience. But it can be a challenge as mobile users are as diverse as they can get. Android is the most popular platform, with around 72% of all users preferring it over other mobile operating systems. iOS comes in second place with approximately 27% user base, and the rest 1% is users who prefer other platforms like KaiOs, Windows, Tizen, and more.
If you want the maximum reach for your app, you have to target, at the least, both the Android and iOS users. But there is yet another challenge you have to tackle – the cost of native app development. Developing apps specifically tailored to each platform can be an expensive affair. You will need to hire skilled resources for each platform, manage different project variants for the same product, and ensure a consistent look and feel. But believe us, in the end, it is all worth it!
While going for cross-platform app development seems to be the easiest shortcut, it comes with obstacles. Let's explore more about it in this article.
What Is Cross-Platform App Development And Its Main Advantages
Cross-platform app development refers to the development methodology that helps deploy an app on multiple platforms with minimal effort. You can write platform-agnostic and reusable code, thereby controlling project costs and time to market.
Your apps can be used both as an Android application and an iOS application with a single code base, thus saving money on app development and maintenance. Here are some more ways how cross-platform app development benefits you:
- A slimmer code base that is easy to maintain and reuse
- Cost-effective mobile app development that can cater to a wide range of target audience
- Consistent UI and user experience across the various platforms
- Access to a large user base, better user feedback, and opportunities to grow
- Quick development time and time to market
What To Consider When Choosing This Approach
Having listed the various benefits of the cross-platform mobile app development approach, it is also necessary to consider the possible drawbacks. There is a reason that many continue to lean towards native app development due to performance considerations and native-only feature sets.
Consider all the factors involved, balance them against your priorities, and see if cross-platform mobile development will fit your needs. Here are some major points to consider when making your decision.
Cross-platform apps cannot match up to the high performance that native apps can provide. While the cross-platform technologies are still evolving and improving with each new release, they are yet to catch up with the high-performance benchmarks set by native apps. The primary reason native apps fare better is that their UI is actual native UI, whereas, with cross-platform apps developed with tech like PhoneGap, you work on an added layer that slows up the app performance. But performance issues can be primarily reduced if you pay attention to your app design and efficient handling of UI components in your cross-platform app.
UI/UX Design
Native app development allows you to use the platform-specific design capabilities and fully utilize the OS functionalities. Your app UI will fit seamlessly with the rest of the platform UI and give the users a familiar interface.
Native Features
Every platform has certain unique features and visual styles that cannot be easily emulated with cross-platform apps. Features like GPS, movement detectors, cameras, and such are usually specialized for each platform. When your apps rely on such inbuilt features, it will get difficult for you to ensure consistent functionality across the various platforms. Native apps let you make full use of such inbuilt features and provide better performance.
Native mobile applications are also safer and secure as they can readily use the inbuilt security features.
Native apps provide you with a broader choice and number of preferences when you integrate with the platform features. Features like the notification features, drawing on other apps, multi-screen, and more can be well-utilized and made to have a consistent look and feel. You can also easily use the native storage options, thus eliminating the need for a third-party cloud service. Your app data can be easily backed up to native cloud solutions and does not require the user to sign up for different cloud services.
Cross-Platform Engineers
Another challenge with cross-platform mobile app development is the comparatively low number of skilled resources in this particular space. While it is easy to scout for mobile developers with a specialization in Android or iOS development, it is comparatively harder to get developers with the right level of expertise in cross-platform technologies.
Having a cross-platform app is an asset for growing businesses that need to reach as much target audience as possible. It is cost-effective and eases project management with a single code base and a smaller development team. Before choosing to take this approach to mobile app development, you have to weigh in the possible disadvantages and make sure you have a well-crafted strategy to overcome the advantages. We recommend you find freelance developers and craft a well-designed strategy to achieve the results you seek.

These are the very qualities that bring Bea Shandon, an old acquaintance, to seek Isabel's help.

Obama Stresses Iraq Sovereignty Alongside Prime Minister
At a White House news conference on Monday, President Barack Obama appeared with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, announcing that, "after 9 years, our war in Iraq ends this month."
Update (1:05 p.m. EST): The press conference is over.
Update (1:03 p.m. EST): "The size of our embassy, in terms of diplomats, is going to be comparable to other countries elsewhere in the world," Obama says of the diplomatic mission to Baghdad. But security personnel will be more.
Update (1:01 p.m. EST): Al-Maliki said he hopes Iraq can buy more fighter jets from the United States -- Obama said the country had already bought F-16s -- and said "both of us need each other, and need cooperation, especially in terms of chasing Al Qaeda."
Update (12:58 p.m. EST): Obama said the troop withdrawal marks the beginning of "normalization" of U.S.-Iraq relations, and said there would be no U.S. military bases there in future.
Update (12:54 p.m. EST): Asked whether the 2003 invasion of Iraq was a "dumb war," as he said in 2002, Obama said "history will judge the decision" to invade.
Update (12:50 p.m. EST): "We think a successful, democratic Iraq could be a model for the entire region," Obama said, referring to the "enormous investment of blood and treasure" by the U.S. in Iraq. He had earlier said the country's economy would grow faster than that of India or China over the next year as Iraq develops its oil resources.
Update (12:47 p.m. EST): Obama ackowledged "tactical differences" between Iraq and the United States in regards to Syria, where violent unrest has simmered for months. But Al-Maliki said Iraq would act in its own interest, not Iran's.
At a White House news conference on Monday, President Barack Obama appeared with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, announcing that, "after 9 years, our war in Iraq ends this month." The president stressed the importance of Iraq's sovereignty, saying, "Just as Iraq has pledged not to interfere in other nations, other nations have pledged not to interfere in Iraq," according to Reuters's Anthony De Rosa. Al-Maliki, for his part, also pledged not to take on "any missions that violate the sovereignty of others" on the same day NATO announced it was officially ending its training mission in Iraq. Maliki said Iraq "needs American experience and expertise" to help it exploit its resources, and said he hoped American companies would have "the largest role in increasing our wealth in the areas of oil and other resources as well." The press conference had been scheduled for 11:35 a.m., but got started late. You can see the question-and-answer period on the White House's live stream, below.

It has been an exciting year for us at OVA. Earlier on, we had the Victoria135 dinner which was a tremendous success, raising awareness and funds for the GPS Fund. We profiled many of our familiar teachers. We had a song specially written for this occasion. We had volunteers from the school and alumni. We had many well-wishers from all walks of society. It was heart-warming to see all this culminate on the evening of the dinner.
During Victoria Challenge, we did a great car wash and Victorians, young and old, worked for 24 hours to raise funds for the Zion Home for the Aged. Some supporters drove in totally clean cars but which they wanted to have it "cleaned" again in order to support the cause!
In sports, soccer continues to draw in the alumni as they fight on the pitch every weekend. Rain or shine, these guys are always there. Soccer Challenge in March saw many teams battled it out for the trophy. Ultimately in the end, it was not about winning, it was about camaraderie. Kampung breakfasts brought teh tarik and roti prata to hungry alumni who usually talked the Sunday mornings away in the canteens of VS and VJC.
Elsewhere around the world, Victorians in Europe revamped their website, had trips, BBQs and their election. In China, Victorians in China had its first gathering and Beijingers were treated to the sight of "V" caps-wearing Victorians.
Our AGM in March saw us co-opting in some fresh and energetic faces. Our upcoming AGM in March 2012 will be an election AGM and we are looking forward to bringing in more. If you are keen to be a part of the Management Council and contribute to making a difference for the alumni of Victoria, please get in touch with us.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I've felt your love poured on my life; I've seen the way your Spirit has moved in mine and others' lives. But G0d, I want to see your Spirit poured out, flooding down in this country. When I walk these dusty streets, when I see the green of these trees hidden by dirt swept up by the latest dust storm, it's as if the land itself is yearning, is waiting for the sound of rain.
Father, these people are so thirsty, so tired and aching from working so hard for salvation in this dusty place only to remain thirsty and unsure. As I sat in the airport last night, the woman sitting next to me offered me a bottle of water; she doesn't know that you hold the Living Water.
Why has everyone in my own country of abundance been offered a drink of Living Water, and yet the women, the men waiting at the empty wells here in the desert still have not heard of what you have to give them? Please L0rd, may your truth, your love, be shouted out to these people, even from the m0sques! G0d let them see who you are — our source of life, our only salvation, the well of Living Water that never runs out.

"Pictures of Pagan Russia in Two acts"-A fitting tagline for Igor Stravinsky and Vaslav Nijinsky's ballet, Rite of Spring. Written and produced in 1913 during an artistic revolution in Russia, as well as Europe, Rite of Spring epitomizes the shift in artistic and political thought in Russia. The staccato rhythm of the music combined with the ritualistic, abrupt, and unstructured movements deviate from the traditional ballet performance centered around fluid scores and the graceful motions of the dancers. This departure from the classic ballet style with the depiction of an ancient pagan ritual reflects the revolutionary changes occurring in the arts, science, and philosophy with the emergence of the avant-garde.
In her book, Land of the Firebird, Suzanne Massie dedicates a chapter to discussing the evolution of the avant-garde in Russia. Emerging between 1908 and 1910, this new genre of art opposed the popular Symbolist movement that glorified hierarchy and the mystical world. Movements within the avant-garde instead sought to establish a new, modern art form that rejected the old world of art and placed its attention on the real world. This new artistic genre impacted all aspects of Russian creativity: poetry, painting, music, literature, and theater. One of the earlier styles to emerge during this period of artistic revolution was a new, neo-primitivism. The leading creator of this new Primitivism, artist Natalya Goncharova, gained her inspiration from popular lubki prints, the shapes of wooden dolls, and the folk art of the people. Not only did new Russian Primitivism influence other forms of art such as poetry and music, but it also reflected the shift in political and philosophical thought within Russia.
Following the romantic movement sweeping Europe during the nineteenth century, intellectuals and reformists in Russia at the turn of the twentieth century began to focus on the common people of Russia, the peasantry, and their customs in an effort to reform and revitalize Russia. The artistic movement away from the old world order, whether purposeful or not, is indicative of the social and political changes occurring in Russia. Starvinsky and Nijinsky's Rite of Spring, being the most controversial contemporary example of the avant-garde movement, provides a strong example of this revolutionary genre.

Officially introduced in 1992, the Rolex Yacht Master is one of the newest luxury sports watches from Rolex. This nautical-inspired timepiece offers a sporty-chic vibe and a touch of luxury to whoever wears it. A corroboration of Rolex's commitment to bringing such notable ties to the world of sailing, the Rolex Yacht Master is a watch that any yachtsmen and sea-farer would love to own with its distinct and stylish appearance and functionality.
2 Items
For almost three decades, the Rolex Yacht Master collection constantly proved itself as one of the best sports watches that hold its fair value as the years go on. This is a timepiece that is durable, elegant-stylish, and regarded with its highly-precision feature, a perfect option if you're looking for a sporty Rolex that comes with some serious panache.
More than that, Yacht Master is at the forefront of Rolex to create such a strong tie and connection to prominent regattas in the world. Besides, there are even famous actors and personalities spotted wearing a Yacht Master watch.

We can't deny that owning a Rolex requires a huge investment, whether it's a brand new or pre-owned timepiece. If you're planning to buy a Rolex Yacht Master, the retail price usually starts at $9000 USD. It goes higher and higher depending on the type of models, materials, and specifications.
For instance, you can get a brand new Rolex Yacht Master Stainless Steel at around $9,239 USD. This watch may look so simple at first glance with its stainless steel material, silver dial, and a size of 35mm, but it offers much more than that. You can also get a watch with similar materials but 44mm diameter size at around $18,500 USD.
On the other hand, if you want something with a yellow gold touch on it and features a reliable automatic, you can opt to buy a Rolex Yacht Master 35 Rolesor Black Mother of Pearl at around $11,589 USD. Or, if you're more fond of having a watch that has a touch of white gold, you can go for Rolex Yacht Master Automatic Black Dial 18K White Gold.
The Rolex Yacht Master has wide collections to offer, with its value going on top as the dates go on. If you have enough budget to shell out on buying an expensive watch, you can have the Rolex Yacht Master Diamond, at around $48,399.00 USD. This watch features how both form and function can be harmoniously combined, with its Everose gold material and diamond pave dial. Or if you want something smaller, a 37mm diameter size with almost similar features, you can opt for the Rolex Yacht Master 18K Everose Gold at around $40,999 USD.
As Rolex ensures to commit to its philosophy when designing and creating this Yacht Master collection, a high-caliber and functional watch which can be perfect accessories for yachtsmen, sailor, and sea-fearer, it's no wonder why many have adored and wished to own this masterpiece.
Before jumping to whether Yacht Master is a good and great collection to invest in, take note of the fact that Rolex never released a watch that is not worth your money. As the brand is always popular with its high-caliber watches, its collections remain valuable even for more and more years to come.
So, going back to Rolex Yacht Master, it is definitely a big YES that watches under this collection are worth buying and investing in. "You'll get what you pay for" might be an old phrase, but with Rolex Yacht Master's refined and elegant feature, it truly proves it. This is a timepiece perfectly designed for yachtsmen, sailor, and sea-fearer as it can survive even in the harshest condition while sailing in the ocean.
Moreover, this collection is always hailed for how it perfectly blends aesthetic styles and functionality. It is a watch that is assured as built to last, which only means it's a popular timepiece even on the resale market.
Rolex officially launched its Rolex Oyster Perpetual Yacht Master collection back in 1992. This is the first-ever ultra-luxury sports watch that the brand ever released and was created and designed for the open seas. It comes in three special sizes — a 29mm size for ladies, a 35mm mid-size, and 40mm as its full-size.
Despite that it has some striking similarities to the Submariner collection, the brand never failed to build the Yacht Master with its own distinction, style, and functionality that are all more related to the Yachting world. Plus, it's always been a renowned sports watch that can endure even in the harshest condition, making it a perfect accessory for any yachtsman and even sailor and seafarer. Its first-ever watch was Rolex Yacht Master Ref. 16628, which was crafted and designed almost entirely using 18kcyellow gold.
Presently, the Rolex Yacht Master has a total of six models, and to ensure you understood each and every aspect of this luxury sports watch, here is detailed info of its design:
In line with Rolex's primary premium materials back to its old days, the Yacht Master was also produced and designed with stainless steel, 18K yellow gold, and 950 platinum cases. In 2005, the brand introduced its newly developed material, a rose gold alloy called Everose, which it claims to never fade even for many years. Came next was a white gold case material used when they released the 2019 Yacht Master Ref. 226659 and with a bigger size of 42mm. They also use a Rolesium, a combination of 904L stainless steel and 950 platinum.
The bezel of Yacht Master is always made with luxurious and high-caliber precious metals: a renowned 950 platinum. Unlike the Rolex Submariner, the Yacht Master offers a much softer action with it rotates around 120 well-defined clicks. It always features a 60-minute timing (bi-directional).
The Rolex Yacht Master was the first-ever model of Rolex, which adopted and used the brand's Maxi dial. It is even compared to the Super case, with its flatter hands and larger indexes that make the watch more readable at one glance. With the Rolex Yacht Master Ref. 126622 model that comes with two dial options: sunburst blue — provides an overall monochromatic look, and dark rhodium — offers an eye-catching contrast, making the watch with this dial atop favorite hot pick.
One thing remarkable about the Yacht Master collection is that it always upgraded its movement many times. In its latest models, it uses an in-house 2236 calibers and 3235 self-winding calibers. To be more specific, a 29mm size uses Caliber 2135 and Caliber 2235; a 35mm size uses Caliber 2135 and Caliber 2235; a 37mm size uses Caliber 2236; a 40mm size uses Caliber 3135 and Caliber 3235, and a 42mm size uses Caliber 3235.
Rolex uses an oyster bracelet and oyster flex bracelet for each model under the Yacht Master collection. As for its sizes, Rolex discontinued producing Yacht Master in 29mm and 35mm, but more focus on creating 37mm, 40mm, and 42mm watches.
As one of the top luxury watch brands, Rolex has a lot of premium and elegant watches to offer. It is no surprise that there are many actors and actresses and even prominent personalities spotted wearing a luxury watch from the brand.
One famous actor that was spotted wearing a Rolex Yacht Master watch is Mark Wahlberg. He has a Rolex Yacht Master watch in Everose Rolesor and in 40mm size, which is a perfect combination of Rolex's owned 18k rose gold alloy and a durable Oyster steel. This watch is not only a luxurious look but an easy-to-wear accessory for men.
Next on the list is David Beckham, spotted wearing a Rolex Yacht Master 40 that features a mother of pearl dial is the former professional English footballer. Last but not least is Ellen DeGeneres, a prominent TV host, actress, producer, writer, and comedian. She was spotted wearing an 18K Everose Gold Rolex Yacht Master.
Yes, we cannot deny that Rolex has other collections that are more worth taking a look at. But, if you're one of those yachtsmen or sea-farers looking for a perfect accessory you can use while onboard, opting for a Yacht Master is definitely a must-have watch you should go for. This is a timepiece designed out of a nautical-inspired look. It is very famous for its distinct and style identity and functionality to endure and survive even the harshest environment while sailing. Indeed, it is a watch that is built for you. To convince you more why buying a Rolex Yacht Master is totally worth it, we have listed the top five reasons why. Check these out!

The lone, booze drinking, butt-kicking mutant returns for his final curtain call and he does not disappoint.
Logan is a special type of movie that breaks all the rules of the genre it started from and creates something entirely new. It has already become my favorite movie of the year and everything that comes out from now on will be judged using it as the standard.
We find Logan/Wolverine in a world where a mutant hasn't been born in 20 years leaving the mutant kind nearly extinct except for Logan (Hugh Jackman), Professor X (Patrick Stewart), and Caliban (Stephen Merchant). That is until we are introduced to the young mutant Laura or X-23 , played amazingly by Dafne Keen, who seeks Logan for help.
Hugh Jackman really shows the weight on Logan's back and the pain in his every movement. He is a broken man who has lost almost everything and what is left is only a shell of it's former self.
Logan is everything I wanted it to be and more. The R rated action was well worth the wait and although intensely gruesome at times it worked for the story they wanted to tell and the themes they wanted to hit.
Although the flick raises many thought provoking questions I think the most important ones surround change. Logan asked simply: can one person really change who they are? And is it true that your past that will always define you?
While many movies have covered the topic extensively, what I like about Logan is that it doesn't try to answer those questions unlike many other comic book movies.
Going to see Logan was a movie experience that I won't easily forget and this review can't do it justice. I don't remember the last time I felt so many different emotions in a single movie. If you have a chance to escape this weekend, buy a ticket to Logan and prepare to have a great cinematic experience.


text: PFR PROVEN PFR PROVEN - FUNGICIDE Multi-Location Is a fungicide pass on corn or soybeans worth it? IS A FUNGICIDE PASS WORTH IT? Fungicides primarily prevent or mitigate disease pressure, but they can also increase water use efficiency, photosynthesis, nitrate reductase activity, increase the window for grain fill, and improve stress tolerance. How a fungicide works depends on its mode or modes of action. WHEN SHOULD YOU SPRAY? Later applications in corn control diseases that tend to move in after pollination. Many fungicides provide plant health benefits that keep the plant healthier during grain fill. 3-YEAR MULTI-LOCATION FUNGICIDE TIMING ROI 7-YEAR MULTI-LOCATION FUNGICIDE AND INSECTICIDE TIMING ROI OBSERVATION Approximately 70% of a soybean plant's yield comes from nodes 6 to 13. Those nodes are usually present at the R3 growth stage. FUNGICIDE: PRODUCTS PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS TRIVAPRO® Trivapro delivers long-lasting disease control and crop enhancement benefits with three complementary modes of action (strobilurin, triazole, and SDHI). Trivapro has exceptional rainfastness and provides longer residual control, extending plant health. Key Benefits: Especially strong on common and southern rust DELARO™ 325 SC Delaro 325 SC contains two broad-spectrum modes of action in one product. It also contains 2.8 times the rate of Proline® compared to Stratego YLD® and provides both preventative and curative defenses against disease. Key Benefits: Delaro 325 SC is transported systemically throughout plant tissue and moves both on the inside and outside of the plant HEADLINE AMP® Headline AMP fungicide provides two modes of disease control. The first provides preventive activity and the second is a triazole that provides post-infection disease control. One of the active ingredients in Headline AMP is F500®, which helps plants grow more efficiently and allows them to focus their energy on producing higher yields. Key Benefits: Provides consistent plant health benefits in all environments PRIAXOR® Priaxor fungicide protects plants from a broad spectrum of fungi. It is powered by Xemium® fungicide, an active ingredient that continuously distributes its chemistry throughout the leaf. Priaxor is a combination of Xemium fungicide and F500® - the same active ingredients in Headline AMP®. Key Benefits: Decreased plant stress and increased photosynthesis and plant health STRATEGO® YLD Stratego YLD fungicide combines triazole technology with strobilurin chemistry for disease control in soybeans. It provides both preventative and curative activity and more systemic movement. Key Benefits: Lower use rate allows for easier handling, storage, and mixing ZOLERA® FX Zolera FX combines two powerful fungicides at full rates for maximum performance and yield in corn and soybeans. The combination of fast-acting and highly systemic strobilurin with a highly systemic triazole delivers more reliable and consistent performance, more robust disease control with both preventative and curative activity, and plant health benefits that help maximize the crop's yield potential. Key Benefits: Very systemic resulting in rapid uptake and plant mobility.

Threat Detection in Lone Worker Personal Safety (Part 1)
by Zeb Glover in conversation with Ger O'Dea – Dynamis Training
When we look at personal safety, people tend to put it into categories – the physical aspects and the non physical aspects.
We could break down the non-physical aspect of Personal Safety training into two parts.
- The ability to detect a danger or a threat.
- The ability to prevent it from becoming physical.
We talk about the detect, the diffuse and de escalation aspects of Personal Safety on our lone working course – we are doing all three aspects of this.
We give a whole rounded, experience, understanding and learning on all three areas. But, if I was to choose what the most important aspect would be, and what would be the easiest to learn, I'd say it's the first one – detect.
The good news is, however many years people have been living so far before they come on our course, they observe human behaviour every single day. They might actually be quite good lit, but it is a bit hit and miss. We have to give some framework to it and empower it.
The main principle is to address something called baseline versus anomalies.
There's quite a well known book on this called Left of Bang (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00L45NXF4). I was fortunate enough to train with a specialist, who was part of U.S Military (R&D) around that topic. In fact, they spent millions of dollars on that topic and I was lucky enough to glean from this expert what came out of that material and knowledge.
You can use it every single day and "baselines and anomalies" applies to many different things and not just Personal Safety.
"The Baseline is the norm and it is always relevant to the context"
I'll share the story that I share often with our groups on Lone Worker Personal Safety training. (We do a lot of storytelling just because it's tends to get the point across in a more powerful way.)
I talk about the Tsunami that hit Japan in 2011, which occurred after a huge earthquake. We talk about what happened that day in this tiny little village in East coast of Japan.
Basically when the big earthquake hit, As you probably know, earthquakes in Japan are very frequent – that's part of their norm. That's part of their baseline.
However, this huge earthquake – the biggest one they've had for years and years – this one was out of the norm. In this little village, they had alarms in the village and when the ground shook, the alarms went off, and people took cover until the earthquake had passed.
And of course they're doing the normal activities after an earthquake such as clearing up the mess. However, this is where it gets a bit interesting – some time later, the Tsunami alarms went off, which are like the old fashioned WWII alarms, but they have different sounds.
The Great Big Obvious Anomaly
The problem being that in all those generations of the village, no one had heard this particular alarm go off before. Now we have got this fundamental problem, which ties in with how we detect personal safety threats in lone working and that is our number one enemy – to be in denial.
People observe human behaviour every day, but are we really conscious about interpersonal threats or not? The truth is it really is a bit hit and miss!
Anyways, the tsunami alarm went off, and a lot of people ignored it. And it gets more interesting when you look at what happened on the beach.
At this point I normally ask the group, "Do you believe that you could predict a tsunami is coming before you can physically see it if you were on that beach? Because, if you wait until you physically see it, you've got a time issue, of getting away from it and getting to somewhere safe.
This an action-reaction problem. Some people say, no, I don't think we can predict a tsunami. Some people say yes, I think we can. And some people even have the answers as to yes you can and HOW – they are aware of the cues or indicators. So it gets interesting to explore what happened on that beach.
One of the indicators of the tsunami, is an anomaly to the baseline. The baseline is the norm, the pressure of water in the sea produces a high tide, low tide twice a day. That's the norm.
However, when there's a tsunami approaching, as you may well know, the tide goes really far out. The main difference is the speed. It goes out super quick. It went out so quick that the people observed fish flapping around on the beach. That's how fast the water went out.
People had never seen that before. This huge anomaly happens right in front of them. You get these various reactions to that, where some people just ignored it.
Some people realised "that's not right".
And incredibly, some people walked towards the fish, out of curiosity. And unfortunately, what they didn't realize is they're walking towards the threat.
In Part 2 of this conversation, Zeb talks about having mental models for Personal Safety situations and how it can help us to make better decisions and respond more effectively.

Between Two Eras: Arresting God in Kathmandu and the Search for a Modern Nepalese Identity
Faculty Mentor(s)
Dr. Pablo Pescheira
Document Type
Event Date
In the collection of short stories Arresting God in Kathmandu by Nepalese-American author Samrat Upadhyay, Upadhyay describes the lives of middle class Nepalese people living in Kathmandu during the late 20th century. In my research, I make the case that modern Nepal, specifically the capital, Kathmandu, occupies a unique position between two eras: that of modernity and that of tradition. Upadhyay comments on this position in his stories, which capture the essence of the modern Nepalese experience through the desires and fears of his characters. Furthermore, I propose that Upadhyay offers the allegorical message, through his stories, that modern Nepalese people must embrace both their past and their future so as to maintain their rich heritage while still continuing to progress into the modern world. My paper begins with a brief history of Nepal's entrance into modernity, where I explore the origins of Nepal's unique state of "between-ness." In this segment I utilize Mark Lichty's book on the growth of consumer culture in Kathmandu, Suitably Modern to make my arguments and compare the culture observed in Lichty's research to that explored in Arresting God. In the second half of my paper, I move into a literary analysis of many stories in Arresting God, specifically an allegorical interpretation of Upadhyay's work and the commentary it makes on the modern Nepalese identity. In my presentation, I will compare the nature of modernization and generational conflict in Nepal with several other Asian countries in an effort to distinguish what makes Nepal's story unique.

What is a tamarind?
A tamarind is both a fruit and a legume, characterized by its pod-like appearance and its sweet and mostly sour taste. Though it originated in Africa, it is mostly found in tropical regions like the Caribbean.
Because of its taste, it can be combined and mixed into sweet dishes. It is also used to add richness to savory recipes. It's even in sauces, drinks, jams, and commercial candy products.
It is a well-known fact that the tamarind has plenty of medicinal properties promoting heart health, weight loss, digestive health, and immune system functions — among many other benefits.
This is attributed to the wide variety of nutrients, minerals, and vitamins it contains, making it a component of a well-balanced diet. It has even been used as an organic cure against constipation, ulcers, and fever.
A valuable component for your dishes or wellness, tamarind is versatile in its uses. Here are some of the health benefits that tamarind can give us:
1. Gives you a healthier heart
Our circulatory system includes our heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries. Its sole responsibility is to bring oxygen via our blood to all the cells of our body. Our heart is the muscular pump and our blood vessels are its pipes.
Imagine you're holding an open hose — if you let it flow freely, the water doesn't go far because it has less pressure, but if you cover part of its opening with your finger, you'd see the water reach a farther distance. The pressure has increased.
The same concept applies to our blood vessels. If there are any blockages in the tubes, blood pressure goes up.
If high cholesterol levels aren't checked, the blood vessel walls that used to be flexible and expandable, harden up and gather plaques, increasing blood pressure for longer durations. In the medical field, this is called atherosclerosis.
Your body needs its oxygen and other nutrients, and it gets these nutrients through the blood. Your heart would like to make sure that happens, but it gets tired. As more cholesterol and fats gather in your system as a result of diet and energy excess, even the blood vessels that supply oxygen to the heart get affected.
The niacin in tamarind lowers cholesterol and prevents atherosclerosis. There's also magnesium that occurs in huge amounts in high-fiber food, that aids in regulating triglycerides — stored energy in your blood. Potassium also regulates blood pressure and helps our cardiovascular system by helping in muscle contractions.
Now, let's go back to the hose — what if the water is mixed with juice or anything that makes it stickier? It means, for it to go a particular distance, the pump would have to be stronger. Diabetes does this.
If your blood sugar is high, your blood is denser and harder to pump into the parts of your body. This also increases blood pressure and the strain your heart goes through.
Tamarind also has tartaric acid, a substance that lowers glucose levels. If you have a normal amount of blood sugar in circulation, your heart won't have to exert more to keep your cells oxygenated. This is important and you have to remember this — if our cells don't get any oxygen, they die.
In the case of heart attacks, a blockage leads to the lack of oxygen to the heart's muscle cells. Because they're dying, they can't function and because of this, the heart stops pumping — it becomes a loop that stops circulation.
On the other hand, when a plaque formation prevents blood supply from reaching a part of the brain, killing brain cells and shutting down parts of the brain in the process— an ischemic stroke occurs.
If your blood vessels have regulated and normal cholesterol levels, triglycerides, and blood sugar, your heart and your brain will be safer and healthier. Not to mention, tamarind also has iron that ensures your red blood cells can carry oxygen around your body efficiently.
2. Boosts the immune system
Our defenses against viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites are within the realm of our immune system. We have white blood cells and physical structures, such as our skin, to protect us. However, if we're under stress for shorter or longer periods, our immune system gets nerfed.
Before we know it, we're sick and down with flu or colds.
Tamarind has plenty of vitamin C which is attributed to preventing colds because it boosts our immune system's capacity to dispose of the cold virus. It's also a compound used with products to protect the skin from pollutants and environmental hazards, aside from boosting your iron absorption.
Then potassium comes in. Healthy potassium levels in your blood prevent fatigue. Magnesium is related to relieving symptoms of anxiety, helping with acidic stability in the gut, and giving you an energy push.
Thiamin, another B vitamin, also helps our defenders to ward off diseases by giving stress relief, among others. Combine all these and you have an effective system when dealing with stress.
And if stress is dealt with healthily, your body's immune system will be in fighting condition.
And that's not all, tamarind also has an antibacterial effect. Its parts are often used as an ingredient in antibiotics or even antiseptics.
Aside from stress and its linked effects to our resistance to cancer, tamarind also provides us minerals, vitamins, antioxidants like tartaric acid (where it gets its sour taste), and beta-carotene. Antioxidants prevent free radicals in our blood from contributing to abnormal cell growth — the core root of cancer.
3. Promotes anti-aging, growth, and recovery
Aging is a complicated process and relating it to growth and recovery may help us understand it better. Here are some givens:
- Our cells continuously carry out their functions until they die. They have short lifespans.
- When they die, they get replaced.
- When new cells are being created more rapidly than they are dying, growth happens.
- When new cell creation slows down compared to cell death, aging happens.
As we are growing up, the cells that comprise the parts of our body reproduce and multiply way faster than the pre-programmed self-destruction of other cells. The older we get, the slower cells reproduce and regenerate, until we're losing more cells than we're gaining.
Therefore, we can say that the more we live a healthier lifestyle and immerse ourselves into a diet that promotes recovery, cell regeneration, and its related processes, we delay aging. Anything stress-related when it comes to how our body reacts to stressors affects our "aging" rate.
True enough, integrating a healthy amount of tamarind in our diets exposes us to the benefits of its stress-relieving and cell-regenerating effects.
So what does tamarind have that aids in healthy cell regeneration and stress relief — considering that stress levels and bodily reactions to it influence the rate of aging that we have?
Well, it has thiamin that aids in athletic improvement, learning (a process related to the growth of new brain cells), memory loss, and Alzheimer's disease, aside from being linked to stress relief.
It has folates that can be necessary for anemia prevention, healthy cell growth, and treating depression. It also has phosphorus, a mineral that aids in tissue repair and cell growth.
4. Improves the digestive system
The thing with our digestive system is that it breaks down the food we take systematically. By using our stomach's acid, it breaks down materials that further get processed in our small intestine and large intestine.
Where those broken-down materials go would likely be in our blood flow in general or our liver. In short, our digestive system ensures that our liver and other systems utilize what we eat.
Ulcers happen when our stomach's acidity is too high out of stress and other conditions, like infection, dehydration, or lack of food. Considering the effects of potassium, folates, thiamin, and vitamin C, stress responses and symptoms are addressed and worked on. They all occur in high amounts in tamarind.
Tamarind also helps in weight management. Its many contents, such as riboflavin, aid in effective metabolism, fat burn, and blood sugar regulation. With regulated blood sugar levels, stress relief, and healthy metabolism, binge eating habits and diabetes are dealt with.
Moderation is key
Consuming tamarind products or the fruit itself in high amounts doesn't quell the many health issues we might experience — instead, it gives us the nutrition that aids our body to effectively function. It has a lot of benefits, and its documented nutritional content and impact is well-studied.
However, it's healthier to consider avoiding extremes. Binging on tamarind-based products has its side effects and ills. Moderation is key.
To reap the benefits tamarind has to our bodies, we have to understand that binging on it alone won't help us — it can have its share of consequences — as most excessive behaviors and habits do. Refer to this guide and its nutritional values and perhaps, you can maximize the amount of benefits tamarind has to your body.

Bingo! That's exactly what he is doing. The poor #ForAll Obama cult members are all kerfuffled; What is going on? How could President Squee totally fall flat on his smug face during the debate? Instead of, you know, doing his job, Obama is flitting off to canoodle with the cult members to soothe their panic-stricken nerves. And … gasping for breath … get some advice from them.
Side-splitting! But not surprising, coming from a man so out of touch that he canoodles with celebrities and hits up Vegas, baby while embassies burn. He'll have a lot of canoodling to do, though. Will he manage to apply enough salve to their shattered nerves? More from USA Today:
2:20PM EST October 7. 2012 – The schedule says President Obama is flying to Los Angeles on Sunday for campaign fundraisers.
The Hollywood Reporter says he has another mission: Reassuring high-dollar Hollywood supporters after last week's less-than-successful debate performance against Republican Mitt Romney.
"Everyone is in shock," said a long-time Democratic activist to the Reporter. "No one can understand what happened."
Oh, the hilarity! Will they invent a new diagnosis of PTDD (Post Traumatic Debate Disorder)? Make it stop; we have fallen to the floor in a heap of giggles. Twitter users can barely pick themselves up off the floor as well.
The tears really are delicious.

Spatially-Variant Lucy-Richardson Deconvolution for Multiview Fusion of Microscopical 3D Images
IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI): 899 -- 904 , 2011
Abstract: A framework for fast multiview fusion of Single Plane Illumination Microscopy (SPIM) images based on a spatially-variant point spread function (PSF) model is presented. For the multiview fusion a new algorithm based on the regularized Lucy-Richardson deconvolution and the Overlap-Save method is developed and tested on SPIM images. In the algorithm the image is decomposed into small blocks which are processed separately thus saving memory space and allowing for parallel processing.Publisher's link

how to change a channel, i can't find my friend in the game. ???????
Hello, to swap channels, follow the following steps:-
1) Press escape to enter the menu
2) On the menu, there should be a switch option, click on it.
3) Select the channel your want to enter
Please note that this is for the new menu, if you're on old menu, I would suggest you to switch to the new menu by clicking on "switch to new menu" on the bottom of the old menu.
You can also do this using the old menu, by doing the below:
Click the Server Change icon selected in Green.
Then the same pop-up with a list of servers will come up.
The fastest method regardless of any interface is to:
- Mouse over to the top right of your screen mini map
- Click on the name of the server (it will show the server name you are currently in)
- A new pop up window containing the full list of server will be available. (Select server you wish to join)
- There is a cool down restriction after you switch server before you can switch to another.
- So do check with your friend, which server he is in, and switch accordingly to avoid any mistakes.
- If your friend is using a season character on a season server, he can come to any other main servers you are in. However, if you are not using a season character, you cannot enter season server 1, 2 and season arsha. So do take note of this factor as well.

Brian and Scott were glad to speak with Stephen Monaco, pioneer in digital strategy and recognized as one of the first to engage consumers via online communities. Stephen's creative marketing prowess was the driving force behind the world's best-selling PC data communications software of all time. He used social media marketing to turn ProComm into a global success story. In the conversation that follows, Stephen provides usable business strategies to build your organization's brand.

Global Branding Through the Years
Stephen has worked with small and medium-sized businesses for many years—pre- and post-social media—on increasing their market presence. He explained how dramatically the work has changed throughout the years.
Social media is the first and obvious reason for the drastic change in how we communicate to consumers. There are many different types of marketing technology software and platforms to help marketers reach their audiences. Stephen says if you're able to stay up to date on these different things, you have a competitive advantage—or you at least have the opportunity to have that advantage. You need to take the opportunity and work with it. Stephen warns not to lament that it's "unfair" things aren't the way they used to be. This isn't Mad Men. To stay afloat, you must learn and adapt.
The Invaluable Personal Touch
With social media being the main source of marketing, Brian and Scott wondered how important personal touch is nowadays. Stephen responded that it's every bit important as it ever has been, and that today's technology makes it easier to achieve. It just requires strategy, discipline, and time. And you need to figure out which platforms your consumers are on.
Digital Marketing Strategies with B2B and B2C
Stephen explained that the strategies of B2B and B2C are pretty much the same in terms of what their goals are. The big difference comes into play when you're dealing with Content Marketing.
With B2C, you want to entertain. You want to make your consumers laugh and feel good. Whether it's funny, emotional, or thought-provoking, you want your customer to feel good about your branding.
With B2B, you want to inform. The content needs to be informative and useful. Provide helpful tips on using your product. Explain how their business life will be different with your product. Stephen hears pushback from some B2B businesses, saying, "We don't have a lot of content." Stephen insists that it's not true and that they're just not creative enough. He illustrated this by telling the story of a client of his that sells chemicals. This company has over 550 pieces of canned content that is helping their customers. It doesn't matter how "dry" you may think your content is. If a business needs your product, they're going to be interested.
Digital Marketing ROI — It's Not What You Think It Is (and That's Okay)
Stephen explained that measuring ROI for B2B is not easy. He says that the return is your customer's engagement. In his book Insightful Knowledge, Stephen talks about ROE instead of ROI. Engagement gets back to the personal touch every company should strive to achieve. Even with B2B, you're still dealing with a person. There's always a person or group of people making decisions. LinkedIn is a great place to advertise and publish content, but Stephen warns not to lock in on that alone. Twitter is also good. Facebook is not as good for B2B; it's better for B2C. Stephen advises to utilize blogs and podcasts. Put your content on every platform that makes sense for your business.
Giving a Good Interview
There was a question from the audience asking for tips on how to give a good interview.
Stephen advises that you need to know the angle the interviewer is going with. If you know that, you can steer your answers into the direction of what they're trying to convey to their audience. Stephen says that there's always a spin, so make sure you know what it is.
There was another question from the audience about how to be ready to enter into a new market. How do you assess the health of the market? How do you know market size? Is the market growing or shrinking?
Stephen, Brian, and Scott all agreed that you need to know your customer. A good place to start is to get to know the salespeople of the industry. What are they doing?
From a digital marketing standpoint, there's a lot of research that can be conducted, particularly if the company is publicly traded.
Get a macro view of the niche to get a clear understanding of who the dominant market leaders are and who the challenger brands are. Identify the differentiators to help you position yourself in a way for you to cut through the noise. You can't just jump in and say, "I have this product also." You need to differentiate yourself.
