How Can I Find My Mugshot Online?
Have you ever gotten into enough trouble with the law to warrant a mugshot? You’re not alone; in fact, you’ve probably got a lot more company than you might assume. Having a mugshot that’s available online can make certain tasks in life a little more difficult, like interviewing for jobs and passing background checks.
Wondering how to see your mugshot online?
You have a lot of resources available to you, many of which will provide you with additional information along with your mugshot.
Check these sources out so you can see what others see when they search for your criminal history.
When trying to figure out how to find your mugshot, begin your mugshot search with the simple and free Google search.
First, simply type in your name by itself. If you have a common name, your information might not display for several pages of results.
Click over to the image search and see if your mugshot displays in the first few pages of results. If it doesn’t, you at least know that a cursory Google search for you won’t pull up your mugshot first thing.
Your subsequent Google searches should include keywords. First, search for your name with the word “mugshot” after it. Check both the listed results and the images. Then try your name with “record” or “arrest record” to see if that triggers any hits.
Whether or not Google turns up your mugshot easily, you should continue to search for it so that you understand how other people might be able to find it.
You can also check specific mugshot databases when you want to find your mugshot. The Smoking Gun and Checkthem.com offer big databases full of mugshots.
You simply type in your name using the search feature and see if your mugshot comes up.
Checkthem.com offers more comprehensive results. It pulls data directly from state and county arrest records, and you get mugshots along with other information, like hair color, eye color, height, and age. Note that Checkthem.com offers other background check services and will give you the most detailed overview about yourself or anyone you search.
Smoking Gun Search. If you click on a random picture at The Smoking Gun, it may not have a name attached. So, your mugshot might be on the website but without your name. When you search your name, however, documents or articles about your arrest record might pop up. This is a good way to do a more comprehensive search about your own history.
If you’re wondering how to see your mugshot online in a more official capacity, you can always go to jail and prison websites.
For a mugshot that’s older, if you don’t remember what county you were arrested in (especially if you were on vacation or had a spring break mishap), you can check the County Jail Search from Ancestor Hunt. It’s very extensive and will give you a good start in how to find your mugshot through the county jail where you were arrested and booked.
You can also head to Corrections.com or Use A Mobile App to search through inmate databases and criminal records. Even if you’ve already discovered your mugshot online, it’s not a bad idea to see what information about you these search engines turn up. Knowing everywhere your mugshot can be found is smart. VINE has a mobile app that you can use, too.
When searching for your own mugshot, you can request a copy of the picture from your local or state government, depending on who arrested you. You might have to visit the office in person, but try online first. Check the state or local website to see if there’s an online form you can fill out. Every state and local government will have a slightly different system, so read the directions carefully.
If you want to find your state’s online database, type “Department of Corrections” and your state’s name into a Google search. Once there, search the database for your name. Your mugshot should pop up if it’s part of the public record. Keep in mind that if you’re currently engaged in legal proceedings for the offense that got you the mugshot, it might be a sealed record. In that case, your mugshot won’t be in these public databases.
Your local law enforcement office might not offer your mugshot online, which is why requesting the information is sometimes necessary. However, a simple search will tell you whether or not that information is available to other people.
To simply find your mugshot online, you shouldn’t need to conduct a paid search. Only if your mugshot is proving almost impossible to discover would something like a paid background check on yourself help you to find your own mugshot. You know it exists, even if you can’t find it, and in this case, a paid search is helpful.
Start with the free avenues and move to paid ones last. If you have a mugshot, a background check on yourself to see what others might dig up on you isn’t the worst idea.
Paid services also come in handy when you want to have your record sealed or expunged. You need the help of an attorney in many cases, but removing your mugshot from official sites happens once your record isn’t available publicly. This can help you during job searches or when you’re moving to a new neighborhood.
Remember that your mugshot will remain in some corners of the internet because it’s impossible to completely remove something once it’s online.
Once you’ve found your own mugshot, you can use this information to find other mugshots, and you might have some fun discovering who else you know who has run afoul of the law. You also now know how other people might encounter your mugshot. If your mugshot is relatively new and hasn’t appeared on some of these databases, wait a while and search again.
However, if your mugshot is still relatively hard to find, you can try to act fast and get your records sealed before it becomes more widely spread. | 2019-04-24T16:20:37 | https://www.checkthem.com/blog/how-can-i-find-my-mugshot-online/ |

The Church is community. We follow Christ. That means we worship with a group of people who believe as we do. It also means we are part of a larger group of believers, the Church throughout the world, comprised of people whose basic beliefs about God are the same as ours. The ways they worship don’t always match ours, but their trust is in the same Savior.
Being part of the Church means that we need to seek out companions for our Christian walk.
Men frequently form their friendships around activities. They befriend guys they play golf, basketball, or fantasy football with. Women form their friendships around conversation.
Now that most women in America have careers, we find it harder to form friendships that provide emotionally intimate companionship. We are too busy to sit on each other’s porches drinking coffee, too embarrassed by our less than picture perfect homes to invite each other in.
Men understand each other in ways women just don’t. Women understand each other in ways men just don’t. Everybody needs friends, but in our age of technology, we are connecting more, communicating less, and finding ourselves more isolated than ever.
The Bible gives us examples of strong friendships. Ruth and Naomi’s relationship survived the deaths of their husbands. Naomi tried to get Ruth to go home to her “own people” but Ruth would not have it. She would not lose her heart connection to this woman she trusted as a mentor and advisor.
Mary and Elizabeth were cousins but had a stronger connection than even blood. They were each miraculously carrying a son. Elizabeth was too old to have a child. Mary was a virgin. Surprised by their God planned pregnancies, these two women shared that precious time in each mother’s life, that time when we are waiting for our children to arrive.
Jonathan and David also had a deep and abiding friendship. I Samuel 18: 1 tells us that Jonathan’s soul was knitted to David’s. It was as if they had one heart.
I like to say I have two best friends. That statement defies the meaning of best. But we meet in each other’s homes, imperfections aside. They have been only a phone call away during some amazing times in my life. Bad times, scary times, good times, exciting times. I’m doubly blessed.
They were there when I was a newly single mother. There during the milestones of my children growing up, the lows of sibling rivalry and teenage rebellion, the highs of accomplishments, graduations, new jobs. There to celebrate the founding of new homes, the welcoming of new babies.
There when two of my sons deployed to the Middle East.
There when my father died.
And there when my husband faced heart disease.
They have also walked with me along my faith journey. They guide where I might step astray. They point the way to the great Light of the World who gives us the gifts of good friends who point us back to Him. | 2019-04-19T03:14:40 | https://nancyehead.com/2015/08/24/blogpost-community-and-companionship-walking-with-friends/ |
Son explains that his father walks around everywhere in the home and gets into everything, causing a safety issues. Son feels though he needs to watch his father constantly or else he will get into trouble.
Common response: Father walks into the kitchen, grabs moldy bread, knocks food over in the fridge, grabs a knife and tries to cut cheese. He then turns the stove on high and then rummages through different cabinets and pulls out a pan. Pots and pans fall out of the cabinets almost hitting him and make a loud noise. Son hears the noise and comes into the kitchen, yelling at his father for the mess he has made in the kitchen.
Expert explanation: As dementia progresses, a person’s abilities and judgment diminish, making the home a potentially dangerous place. There are various home safety modifications that can be put in place such as using child safety locks to store away medications and sharp objects, throwing away expired foods, removing or covering stove and oven knobs, and having the poison control phone number nearby in case of an emergency. It takes effort and creative problem solving, but in the end, safety modifications can keep your loved one safe at home.
Recommended response: Son implements safety measures in the kitchen by throwing away expired foods, locking knives and pots and pans in the cabinets, placing covers over the stove and oven knobs, and organizes the refrigerator so it is neat and organized. Father comes into the kitchen and tries to open the cabinets and turn on the stove but cannot. He ends up finding grapes in the refrigerator and starts to eat them. | 2019-04-25T08:36:33 | https://www.uclahealth.org/dementia/home-safety |
Leaving White Cliffs we headed towards Mutawinji National Park.

There were also facilities in this camp ground, so we enjoyed flushing toilets and nearly hot showers!
The following day we planned a day trip into Broken Hill. We did a mine tour which was quite interesting, even if the tour guide was only too willing to share his political and racial biases with us continually. Children as young as 8 used to work down in these silver mines. Their good eyesight made them valuable to spot things in the darkness. As their eyesight deteriorated due to exposure to the dust, they would then be used in other ways in the mine. Older miners would generally need to sleep upright, as if they lay down, they would likely die – drowned in their own blood in their lungs. Life expectancy wasn’t high!
Kids not much older then Ella used to work in these mines. They didn’t have a hard hat or head torch though!
We had some lunch and did some washing in town before heading back to camp for dinner. Plenty of wildlife on the roads out here, with some kamikaze Emus doing their best to become a hood ornament on the Lexus. Fortunately (for everyone involved!) we managed to avoid them.
Mutawinji NP has a rich indigenous heritage, so we went for a walk through the gorge which had a number of ancient carvings. It is interesting to see how much debris has been left behind by flood waters through this gorge – it would be a very different place! But today it was toasty warm and completely dry underfoot, the river bed itself totally sandy.
These colours were even better in real life!
We had a great time here, I could have stayed longer, but it was time to move on. The original plan was to head from here to the Menindee Lakes, however it was decided to get a little closer to Sydney, so we would go from here all the way down to Mungo.
These 3 nights takes our total to 188. | 2019-04-20T16:14:49 | http://youl.id.au/mutawinji-np/ |
Thanks, Jenni. Courage comes in many shapes, forms, colors, and times. This murder and this murder’s context and unraveling tell and signal more about this white-racist society than a 1000 academic treatises that only scratch the surface. Yet most of white America is still tone deaf to the thundering sounds of these racial truths — humanity dies one death at a time, and many other truths.
Thank *you* Joe – obviously so much of what I’ve learned, I’ve learned from you – not just the academic side, but in witnessing you walk the talk every single day. You are an inspiration.
This was a very moving piece! This further illustrates the courage of the modest number of whites who care more about equality of mankind than subjugation of the many for the benefit for the few! Giving up the comfort of close family and friends for justice is among one of the most unselfish things a person can do. Keep fighting sister, I am with you!
Jim Zwerg would be proud.
Jenni, this is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read – and I am not one for hyperbole. Your piece reminds me (and I need constant reminding) of the most important thing I’ve learned about activism: that we must engage in the struggle to our fullest ability, in line with our conscience, with no concern for those who are not (yet) allies; the “work” we do assuaging others’ feelings/resistance is a distraction and not in reality the work. But the point you make about family and community and “home” is what makes antiracism for white folks so unique and at times deeply hurtful. There is a saving grace (although nothing is quite like family). In my own experience, more limited than yours, I have been humbled by the willingness of people of color to embrace genuine white allyship and at the same time to challenge us to be more effective allies.
Thank you for writing this impassioned piece.
Thank you for writing this, Jenni. If we were still in the pre-electronic age, this would be a magazine or newspaper article I would clip and re-read until it became ragged and tear-stained. You are not alone.
Thanks all – I hope this blog and this case continues to open conversations (I’ve already had some with family myself)… the support is humbling and makes me feel very grateful.
Thanks. In more ways than one.
that last quote is something i said almost word for word just a week or so ago. …but this is very new for me. i am at the beginning of my serious academic study in race and race-relations. and just beginning to experience the baggage that will come with this work for me. i welcome yours and others advice on navigating these sometimes daunting challenges.
I’ll tell you what my wonderful adviser Joe Feagin (who’s been at this even longer than I) tells me: You need to build a community of support – among colleagues and friends who share your perspectives. I am very fortunate to have that.
I will say too that, although it was not necessarily this way in the beginning, I grew increasingly weary with trying to manage any level of “disjointed” identity, to the point where it became intolerable for me – mostly because it was a violation of my politics, and more importantly, my integrity. I decided better to speak my truth and let the chips fall where they may. As I alluded to in the piece, I really think that is the only place where true potential (and thus hope) lies – transformation has ALWAYS required those willing to pay costs – it always will.
I would just add that I believe as white anti-racists it is very important that we stay linked to white communities and networks and not just retreat to the safe bubble of our support communities. All racial communities have “dirty laundry” to air and address – we have more than most. And as whites in the struggle I believe we have an important role to play in removing the burden from people of color for explaining matters and shoulder the responsibility of bringing other whites along with us… we know that racism often destroys white empathy and warps our thinking and perspective even amongst the best-intentioned of us, and so when our brothers and sisters say well-meaningful but destructive things, I try to remember what it was like to be early and unconscious in the struggle and speak to them accordingly – from a place a love and understanding.
You might also consider sharing this blog with people in your life (or writing something personal of your own) if you think it might help.
It’s one thing to speak in generalities and “academic-ese”… But speaking from your personal experience is often the most powerful thing you can do. | 2019-04-26T08:57:47 | http://www.racismreview.com/blog/2012/04/06/white-anti-racism-do-it-anyway/ |

Abdolkarim Soroush is Iranian Reformer, Thinker and Rumi scholar born on December 16th, 1945. He was also once a philosophy professor at Imam Khomeini International University and the University of Tehran. During his studies, he pursued Analytical Chemistry, philosophy of science and history. He currently works at the Institute for Cultural research and studies. He joined the Institute shortly after he left the Tehran teacher’s training college. He helped establish the Kiyan magazine which was later closed down. His participation in politics involved advocating against in the participation of clergies in political affairs. Among his publications was the book Knowledge and Value. This was a book he authored in England. He has also authored about 25 other books during his career. He was honored with the Erasmus Prize in 2004.
The little known about Abdolkarim Soroush’s early life is that he was born on December 16th, 1945 to a middle-class family. His place of birth was Tehran.
Abdolkarim Soroush began his education at Qa Immiyeh School situated in Tehran. He then enrolled for his secondary education at the Mortazavi. Later he also attended Alavi high schools. He passed the National Entrance Exam and was admitted to Iran. After attaining his degree, he went to London for further studies. In London, he pursued Analytical Chemistry and attained his degree later. He then enrolled in Chelsea College where he studied philosophy of science and history.
Abdolkarim Soroush returned to Iran after the 1979 Iranian Revolution. His first book was then published with the title Knowledge and Value. He wrote the book while he was in England. He then got a job at the Tehran teacher’s training college. He served as the Islamic cultural group’s director at the college. He later left the college in 1983 after he disagreed with the college’s management.
Meanwhile, Abdolkarim Soroush gained membership at the Cultural Revolution Committee. This was a committee of seven members only. It was established following the closing of all Iran’s universities. He then joined the Institute for Cultural research and studies where he still offers his services.
In the 1990s, he became a great advocate against in the participation of clergies where politics is concerned. He published some articles in Kiyan magazine. He was the co-founder of the magazine. An orthodox Islamic group was not happy about the stories at the magazine and advocated against it. In 1998 they succeeded in their efforts to bring down the magazine.
During his career, his lectures on different subjects were tapped and circulated all over the world. The topics of the lectures ranged from political, literary and religious matters. This further aggregated the orthodox. By then they became his great enemies. They further harassed Soroush until he even lost his job. His security was also greatly compromised. Since 2000, Abdolkarim Soroush has served in different learning institutions worldwide. He has worked as a part-time scholar in Princeton, Harvard and the University of Chicago among others.
Abdolkarim Soroush was honored with the Erasmus Prize in 2004. In 2005, he was rated among the top hundred most influential people by the Time Magazine. In 2008, he was once again selected among the top influential intellectuals worldwide. This was in a survey by Prospect magazine of the UK.
Abdolkarim Soroush has a wife, a daughter as well as a son-in-law. | 2019-04-22T06:01:58 | https://www.sunsigns.org/famousbirthdays/profile/abdolkarim-soroush/ |
Hello there, I am Doctor Gersch, and I have started working on a campaign that, for now, I am calling "A Time-Twisted Tale." In it, you and your party buy a tavern after finding a fortune on an adventure, but it also has portals that connect to other realms, timelines, and dimensions (Think Stargate, but more universe-bending)!
I wanted to ask the Fabletop community if this campaign idea would either be interesting enough to continue working on, scrap it and come up with another idea, or add more ideas to it.
I say go for it. 'Multiversal travel' tables are a big thing, here, and you'll probably get a LOT of players if you set this up.
I would give it a try if you continue working on it. That sounds interesting. | 2019-04-19T16:51:02 | http://fabletop.com/forum/topic/11182.4/i-would-like-feedback-on-my-campaign-idea |
↵∗Address for correspondence: Dr. Folkert J. Ten Cate, University Hospital Dijkzigt, Thoraxcenter Ba 350, Dr. Molewaterplein 40, 3015 GD Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Objectives. The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical and functional results of combined anterior mitral leaflet extension and myectomy in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
Background. Septal myectomy is the most commonly performed surgical procedure in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Because of the role of the mitral valve in creating the outflow tract gradient, mitral valve replacement or plication is performed in selected cases in combination with myectomy, often with better hemodynamic results than those of myectomy alone. Mitral valve leaflet extension, in which a glutaraldehyde-preserved autologous pericardial patch is used to enlarge the mitral valve along its horizontal axis, is a novel surgical approach in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
Methods. Eight patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy were treated with mitral leaflet extension and myectomy. Preoperative and postoperative data (New York Heart Association functional class, number of drugs prescribed, width of the interventricular septum, severity of mitral valve regurgitation, severity of systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve and outflow tract gradient) were compared with those of 12 patients undergoing myectomy alone.
Results. Preoperative evaluation demonstrated that mitral regurgitation and systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve were more severe in the group undergoing mitral valve extension (p < 0.001 and p < 0.05, respectively). There were no deaths associated with either surgical procedure. Two patients, both treated by myectomy alone, died during the follow-up period. Postoperatively, patients treated with mitral valve extension had less mitral regurgitation (p < 0.005), less residual systolic anterior motion (p < 0.01), greater improvement in functional class (p = 0.05) and greater reduction in the number of drugs (p < 0.005) and in septal thickness (p < 0.05).
Conclusions. Mitral leaflet extension in combination with myectomy is a promising new surgical approach that may provide superior results to those of myectomy alone. Further studies are needed to determine the clinical value of this procedure. | 2019-04-21T00:32:37 | http://www.onlinejacc.org/content/28/1/197?ijkey=ca62da7c5fb4f3bb777ea362afa75413b76f429c&keytype2=tf_ipsecsha |
Abstract: Geometrical optics is extended so as to provide a model for spinning light rays via the coadjoint orbits of the Euclidean group characterized by color and spin. This leads to a theory of ``geometrical spinoptics'' in refractive media. Symplectic scattering yields generalized Snell-Descartes laws that include the recently discovered optical Hall effect. | 2019-04-26T08:29:48 | https://arxiv.org/abs/math-ph/0509031 |
Following my visit to Korea, it was great to see Il-Hyun Jo at the 8th UK Learning Analytics event, which was organised at The Open University by JISC.
Il-Hyun talked about the problems associated with learning analytics in a country where grades are allocated in relation to a normal distribution curve – so if one student’s grades go up, another student’s grades will go do – and where competition to enter universities is so intense that retention is not viewed as a problem.

On Sunday, SpaceX launched a spy satellite, code-named Zuma, for the U.S. government. Responding to media reports that the satellite was lost, SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell says the rocket "did everything correctly" and suggestions otherwise are "categorically false".
To be fair, part of the glory days of NASA was a result of the Cold War, the space race with the Soviet Union.
SpaceX's comment on the issue seemed to imply that the reason the Zuma payload failed to detach in the second stage was not their fault but rather that of Northrop Grumman or perhaps the payload itself. "Following first stage separation, the second stage Merlin ignites and takes the payload to a parking orbit before igniting again to place the payload into its final orbit". Zuma is in orbit and alive. 2.
A military satellite launched by Elon Musk's Space Exploration Technologies Corp. hasn't been spotted in orbit by the U.S. Strategic Command, creating a mystery about the fate of the classified payload and doubts about whether the mission was a success. One of the aides told Bloomberg that both the satellite and the rocket's second stage fell into the ocean.
Of those scenarios, he said, the third appears to be the most plausible. Defense company Northrop Grumman requested the launch in behalf of the government, further casting a veil of secrecy on the missions.
-This report was updated at 9:45 a.m.
New Hampshire is forecast to see temperatures plummet as low as -37.2C, which is colder than Mars, which reaches a high as -18.8C. That makes for the 21st successful stage return for SpaceX, and it's ninth on firm land at the Landing Zone 1. It was the corporation that chose to be the operator and producer of the company of Elon Musk. Since then, SpaceX has won two of three competitively bid launches. It's possible that something went wrong with the technology the satellite was designed to demonstrate after launch, contributing to a failure.
SpaceX is due to launch the much more powerful 'Falcon Heavy' test flight later this month, and it is not yet known whether the problems will impact the planned launch date.
That includes the debut launch of its Falcon Heavy rocket from Kennedy Space Center.
Exactly what happened? No one is saying publicly. In 2012, it became the first nongovernmental entity to run cargo between Earth and the International Space Station. The payload of the launch is assumed to be a national security satellite or spacecraft, though whatever it really is, we may now never find out. This could either indicate that there is nothing to add in addition to the new satellite entry, or that the Zuma satellite is no longer in orbit.

I'm originally from Taiwan but I have been living in Southern USA since 2013. I have always loved creating and making jewelry for myself and friends. I had sold jewelry in markets and online before moving to the U.S. And now after graduating from grad school and having a wonderful full-time job, I realized that it's time to fulfill my other side of passion - so I started making jewelry with all kinds of gemstones! I do not make and sell jewelry for crazy profit.

Body temperature is lower in older adults, is this beneficial or detrimental?
The idea of attrition started with Aristotle (384-322 BC) and was later adopted by the Romans, Muslim and Western European medical establishments. It became the basis for our early understanding of how the human body works. Essentially, Aristotle held that the human body was filled with four humors: black bile, yellow bile, phlegm, and blood. Any imbalance in these four humors resulted in diseases and disabilities. Aging is caused by the drying out and cooling of these humors. This idea had a wide following, and involved numerous hot baths and saunas in order to maintian our wetness and innate heat. | 2019-04-21T12:05:07 | https://www.tokyocafe.net/health/?eid=30 |
The President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, has assured Nigerians of free, fair and credible elections come 2019, with a firm declaration that the “era of lack of transparency and accountability in the electoral process is over.” He charged electoral officials to discharge their responsibilities bearing in mind that everybody would give account of his deeds, before the Almighty.
President Buhari gave this charge while declaring closed a two- day Interfaith Conference of the Interfaith Initiative for Peace (IIP) in Abuja on Saturday, 13 October 2018.
The country he said deserves continuity and a better future. He hoped that the coming months would move the country closer to these goals. President Buhari expressed optimism in the improvement on the electoral process brought about by the use of card readers which, he noted, has made rigging difficult and accounted for his victory in the 2015. He implored religious leaders and, indeed, all Nigerians to pray for the country, especially as we approach the 2019 general elections.
He cited the Bible about how Satan tempted Jesus in the account of the Gospel of St. Matthew, with different ways of seizing power. They all, he stated, involved grand public gestures and high profile activities – to turn stone into bread, to demonstrate supernatural powers and to worship evil for the sake of power. Jesus, he cited, rather chose the path of obscurity and humility, service and sacrifice. For this reason, he noted, Jesus was exalted above all other and seated at the right hand of God.
Rev. Welby, who has been in Nigeria for more than 70 times since he first set foot in the country, in 1978, identified with the plight of Nigeria. He lamented the spate of terrorism and herdsmen killings and appealed for cooperative action to root out these evils from our society through a concerted programme of national reconciliation both among the people and with God.
Earlier in his welcome remark, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello, expressed delight in playing host to the event. He declared that the conference theme, which centred on “Religious harmony in Nigeria: Towards the 2019 General Elections”, could not have come at a better time, than now, as preparations for next year’s election are on top gear.
He described faith as a force for good which could be deployed to positive ends, charging our religious leaders to properly guide our youths and nurture our children to imbibe the true values of our faiths, both of which espouse love, good neighbourliness and peaceful coexistence.
The conveners of the conference, Sultan of Sokoto, Alh. Abubakar Sa-ad III and the Archbishop of the Catholic Diocese of Abuja, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, were united in urging Nigerians to eschew bitterness and rancour in the forthcoming elections. They informed the gathering that the conference has made far-reaching decisions in their communique which, they said, would be forwarded to the government and concerned stakeholders for action.

The reports from last week’s Internet Identity Workshop were generally quite encouraging. My colleague from Plaxo, Joseph Smarr, reports, “We now have the tools we need as a community to really make friends-list portability work.” Joseph was really encouraged by the maturation of key open standards, such as OpenID and OAuth, and by how so many of the big players made sure to be well represented at the event, including Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, and AOL.
Conspicuously absent? Facebook. Not a single employee could find the time to head down from Palo Alto to Mountain View to engage in a dialogue about open industry standards for identity on the Internet. That’s curious. Hmmmm.
Given that this fit with a pattern I has seen before at BarCampBlock and the Data Sharing Summit, I didn’t waste much thought on the topic. That is, until a source who-shall-go-un-named shared with me that Facebook has just quietly launched a “single sign on” initiative designed to put them in position of de facto cross-site identity monopolist.
What I’m told is that Facebook is out recruiting lighthouse accounts to embrace Facebook ID as their methodology of site sign on. There was no press release or marketing launch, because the company is fighting enough privacy-related fires at the moment.
Anyone else heard of this? Let’s work together to uncover the truth.
And for an update on OpenID see Chris Messina’s recent post. | 2019-04-26T10:40:10 | https://therealmccrea.com/2007/12/10/why-facebook-wasnt-at-the-internet-identity-workshop/ |
Let's see, what can I write about this issue? How about FERRIES?
Yes, folks, this will be your opportunity to come to the Community Centre and tell the "panel" what they are doing to our island. They need to hear it from you and I hope every person on the islands can be there and will get up to the mike and make your views known.
The "engagement", as they are calling it, is supposed to focus on the service cuts, and senior's discount reduction.
Let's step back and look at the underlying problem. You need to talk to them about the fact that the insanely high ferry fares have driven the ridership down and will continue to do so. That is the root of the problem. And it is planned to get even worse in April of both 2014 and 2015.
And if you step back a little further, you will say to them that they must recognize the coastal ferry services as essential extensions of our provincial public highway system and ensure that the fares are reduced and the service levels are maintained at current levels.
Those are the two most important points that need to be hammered home over and over again. Then we can talk about the impacts of losing our two late night sailings and the reduction in the senior's discount.
This is the time for all of us to pull together. One voice made up of 500 parts will be very effective in my opinion. We will also have our Chamber of Commerce there to talk about economic impacts and we have asked the Campbell River Chamber to do the same.
I put a motion through the Board last thursday to invite the Chamber and to invite the Mayor and Council to come and support us like we support them. They are the ones that are going suffer many of the economic impacts of this decision. So will our businesses and our population in general.
If you only attend one event this holiday season, this year, this decade... make it this meeting!
This is YOUR chance to keep Quadra Island livable!
The Province is “engaging coastal communities and ferry users from across the province on strategies to ensure the long-term sustainability of the coastal ferry network.” In other words, this meeting is our chance to tell these people how we are affected by what the government is doing to us! They need to hear it and the media needs to hear it. I have worked hard to ensure that all of the big city media will be at our meeting- CTV, CHEK and GLOBAL TV; the Times-Colonist, the Province, MAJOR radio and the local CR and Quadra reporters. Let's make their trip worthwhile!
At the meeting, the representatives will be discussing the planned cuts to our ferry service. They will be armed with statistics and questions such as "Why would you need an 11:30pm ferry?” Well, how about work, culture, sport, entertainment and returning home from the late flight from Vancouver, to name just a few? That is just one example. All runs are important to someone. We need all of our present runs and should settle for nothing less. THIS IS OUR HIGHWAY!
Above all, we must realize that what the government is doing right now is trying to DISTRACT us from the REAL PROBLEM: THE FARES ARE TOO HIGH! That is what has driven the service into the ground. Fares have caused a marked decline in ridership since 2005, thus generating less revenue. They need to be rolled back, not increased like the govt. plans in April 2014 and again the next year. They are too high NOW.
The SOLUTION is to put the ferries back into the provincial highway system where they came from. They are the marine component to the terrestrial highways and need to be funded as such! THIS is what we need to tell them on the 9th.
SO! Come one, come all, to the meeting on Dec. 9th. Be there just prior to 6 pm.
The hall holds more than 500 people plus overflow, so let's make sure it's packed. We will have qualified staff offering free child care, in the building, for at least 10 kids (ages 3 to 12 yrs old)… but don't be afraid to bring your child, screaming or not- that's life! The panel needs to hear from the next generation of Quadra-ites!
I am counting on my community to help save itself. I can only do so much...now it is your turn. Come out and speak up!
I am sure that most of you have been in the parking lot in the warmer times of year and been cooked in your vehicles. You have tried to keep your kids and pets cool after a long hot day in town and tried not to expire yourself. Well, the solution seemed simple to me many years ago. Plant some tall, skinny shade trees that would provide shade right across the parking lot in the afternoon. Upon inspection with the Terminal Manager, she was very receptive to the idea and had already hired an arborist to come and advise her. So, they are looking at planting a row of Lombardi Poplars all along the western fence line where they will not interfere with anything!. We will see where they go with this. It might only provide shade for the first couple of rows the first year, but we have to start somewhere. The trees are fast growing, columnar in shape and grow in really poor conditions. They can easily be trimmed at the lower levels to keep from interfering with the walk-on traffic.
I met with our Area Manager again last week and went over all of the projects that we have had on the "list" of things to do for Quadra. They are progressing! Signs are being erected where necessary, some ditching is being done, the work has begun on Kanish View Estates to bring it up to standard and just in time for the snow! (sorry to mention that word). Lots of other projects are still being examined and I will be kept informed of their progress.
Last but not least, I will be meeting with Telus in Victoria on December 4th to be updated on their plans for Quadra Island. I have no information other than the fact that I have a meeting. I am hoping for lots of good news to share with you next report.
I have tortured you enough. Time to quit! Feel free to call me between the hours of 8:30 am and 7:00 pm, Monday through Friday (please, not on weekends, folks!) at 285-3355, or you can fax me at 285-3533 or you can email me anytime at jimabramxplornet.ca or by mail at Box 278 in the Cove, V0P 1N0... Lots of choices.
Bring your kids to the meeting and encourage them to stand up to the Mic and tell these people what they are about to do with their lives. If you have a teen or preteen who goes to CR for a function and comes back on the 10:30 or 11:30 ferry, ask them to step up and be heard! | 2019-04-19T16:41:05 | http://www.thegumboot.ca/go3205a/Regional_Directors_Report_-_December_2_2013 |

In the fifth and final part of our series on the Korean Wave, or hallyu, The Diplomat looks at what the future might hold for the phenomenon.
As I’ve noted, overseas interest in South Korean culture has risen dramatically over the past decade. So much so, in fact, that the phenomenon was given its own name—Korean Wave or Korea fever (known locally as hallyu).
In the past week, I’ve written about this intriguing trend, looking at hallyu’s roots, its popularity in East Asia and other parts of the world and its effects—especially economically—on South Korea.
But was the Korean Wave spontaneous, or has it been manufactured? And how long will it last?
Jung Sun Park, who I consulted with for this series, has suggested that when hallyu first emerged, it was dismissed by many as simply ‘media hype without substance or a cultural fad, destined to fade away soon.’ However, the critics have obviously been proven wrong, with the Korean Wave showing even now ‘remarkable sustaining power’ over a decade later.
Localization is, simply put, when a trend or fashion is adopted into local cultures and takes on a unique form that’s suited to the tastes of a particular area. Park told me that an example of such localization may be the current Japanese version of Korea’s famous cuisine, bulgogi—marinated and barbecued beef, which in Japan is called yakiniku, and which is very popular amongst locals. The preparation and cooking style of the dish has changed in some ways, perhaps to suit Japanese palates or customs.
Of course, the relatively brief history of hallyu means it’s difficult to predict what will happen—especially with the amount of effort being put into keeping it alive by related industries and government, as I mentioned before. But one of our readers described to me earlier this week the particular dangers that might lie in such a profit-driven effort.
Not everyone is convinced that hallyu can be manufactured or duplicated. Korea culture analyst Michael Shin told me, for example, that he once spoke to a scholar who did an ‘interesting research project about the Korean Wave’ and found that when producers tried to create TV dramas or other entertainment forms that were ‘specifically designed to take advantage of the Korean Wave and be popular abroad,’ that most of these attempts failed.
This reminded me of something that Prof. Park had mentioned to me when she was talking about the attempts by various people and the government to capitalize on the power of South Korea’s pop culture.

Location: Three hours from Vancouver, near the town of Lytton.
The entire Stein river from the watershed to the confluence with the Fraser river is protected within Stein Valley Nlaka’pamux Heritage Park. Called the “hidden gem” for good reason, you must reach the Stein by plane or by foot…no vehicles allowed in the Park.
“Down the Drain,” “Touching the Void,” “Notch Waterfall,” names of rapids often give not-so-subtle hints about the intensity of their drops and hydraulics. With at least thirty continuous class IV-V rapids and no calm sections and an extreme portage around “Devil’s Staircase”, this run is not for the faint of heart. This river needs a boat full of true whitewater adventurers.
Incredible whitewater in an amazingly beautiful wilderness canyon. On your hike to the put-in, ancient pictographs can be seen on rock outcroppings signifying Stein valley as the spiritual home of the First Nation peoples. The canyons provides habitat for grizzly bears, cougar and bighorn sheep.
Stein River rafting trips are only offered for a brief period of time each year, usually during the month of August. | 2019-04-20T07:04:46 | https://www.rafting.com/canada/british-columbia/stein-river/ |

Global Environmental Engineering Inc. was contracted by a large commercial chain to remove five (5) underground storage tanks (USTs), associated fuel lines, dispensers, and sample soils from their gas station in Flint, Michigan. The USTs onsite consisted of one (1) 6,000 gallon kerosene tank, one (1) 12,000 gallon diesel tank, and three (3) 12,000 gallon gasoline tanks. After removal of the UST system, the subject property was assessed and sampled in accordance with the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) Site Assessment Procedures per the Michigan Underground Storage Tank Rules (MUSTR), 1999 AACS R 29.2101 et seq., Section 280.72(d) Site Assessment Procedures.
On the morning of June 4, 2015, a confirmed release was reported to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. The release was confirmed in four locations based on samples collected during the UST removal activities. Remedial activities included dewatering and the excavation and removal of contaminated soils. Soil was field screened for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using a photo ionization detector. | 2019-04-20T14:39:30 | http://globaleei.com/global-eei-portfolio/lust-removal-large-commercial-propery/ |

Duke University professor Bai Gao, also a visiting professor at Peking University, stresses how ASEAN privileges “a stronger regional identity that often unites these countries together to pursue their common interests when they deal with external great powers.” That’s in sharp contrast with Southwest Asia, where nations, geopolitically, are extremely selfish and eschew aligning on common interests.

Is it possible to model an exhaust fan that only activates during economizer mode? My hunch is that I will have to model this through the Exceptional Design Compliance process.
I'm trying to model the exhaust fan attached to a relief air segment with a variable speed drive as a workaround.
No, there is currently no way to only operate the exhaust fan only when the economizer is active. The work-around you propose, i.e. modeling a fan on the relief air segment, is the best solution. The relief fan will operate at the minimum outdoor air flow when the economizer is not active. However, if the fan is variable speed, the amount of energy used at this low part-loads will be small.
Why is the zone exhaust fan not controlled by zone temperature? | 2019-04-26T16:53:08 | https://unmethours.com/question/8306/model-exhaust-fan-tied-to-economizer-operation-in-cbecc-com/ |
More and more people are finding themselves in hardship due to increasing food prices, energy prices and freezes on pay meaning they struggle to provide adequate meals to support their family. Food banks have been set up throughout the UK to help those families in need and the number of people benefiting from emergency food has increased year on year with 280,000 being fed in 2012 compared to 128,000 in 2011.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is useful in assessing retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in HIV patients, who can develop visual problems in the absence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis.
To determine whether OCT might be useful in this connection, Dr. Freeman of the Shiley Eye Center of the University of California, San Diego in La Jolla and colleagues conducted a case-control study, using third-generation OCT to measure RNFL. This new approach provides higher resolution than was previously available.
The study involved 36 eyes of 18 HIV patients without CMV retinitis and CD4 counts above 100, 38 eyes in 25 similar HIV patients but with CD4 counts below 100, and 39 eyes in 22 HIV-negative controls.
HIV patients in the lower CD4 count group had significantly thinner overall RNFL than did the patients with higher counts and the controls. The difference was most prominent in temporal, superior and inferior retinal areas. | 2019-04-19T04:40:05 | http://jacobsretina.ucsd.edu/2016/03/01/epidemiology/ |

This is an applied dissertation, a program evaluation of the Unit Leadership Development Program, as implemented at a major Coast Guard staff element in Norfolk, Virginia. The evaluation also looks to examine links between leadership development programs and interpersonal conflict management.
On July 19th, 2009, my dissertation committee accepted the formal proposal. I have begun the institutional review board process, oversight for all human subject research at the University. Once through the IRB hurdle, then I'm on to a month of data gathering.
Please feel free to read through the proposal (links to the right) and provide any feedback you might have. You can reach me here.

Oh 2019, what to do with you! Since 2015 I have been painting like mad, hosting 2 art shows a year, and having seamless ideas and inspirations towards Canadian landscapes (and travel). I have painted images of every province and territory; and taken multiple trips west, and north. I have painted the Rocky Mountains, Alberta’s hoodoos, Lake Superior, Georgian Bay’s Killarney, and Lake Ontario. There is still much to explore in this vast Canadian Land, yet I find myself in a pause.
This pause is allowing me to do things I have not thought about, or done, before.
This pause is a form of creativity all it’s own: seeds get planted. Things can brew, gestate, and take root.
This pause is creating space for new work. For commissions. For opportunities to teach.
This pause in painting has inspired me to clear out old work, re-organize studio space, and start thinking about 2019 in a different way than years past.
This year I am allowing space for a few commissions. If you have a special place that you would like captured in a unique painting, send me a message. I will give you a free quote from a photo and discussion around sizes and details of the piece. You can view past commissions here: Custom Work.
Did you know I am also a Child and Youth Worker? I have been brainstorming ways to integrate the youth work with art and yoga.
In my many years of painting, I have taught many a kid how to create! From family friends, to children in my care, of all ages; And it is always a blast!
We could arrange a private art lesson for you child, a private group with their friends, or even do an art project at a birthday party!

Not really a hotel, but .. very functional !
This is not really a hotel, but more like a rental apartment room. No restaurant on site. No parking space is there.(a large public parking is near the hotel, though.) Bed making and cleaning service were not really everyday (once in two days in my case). However, the room was clean and efficient. All the front desk staff were quite helpful. Above all, the location is just near the center of the city's old district. So, it was perfect for my business purpose. I may want to come back to this hotel next time in Grenoble. | 2019-04-22T21:55:47 | https://et.hotels.com/ho438506/ |
"Dw i'n gwneud brecwast yma."
Translation:I am making breakfast here.
"Yma" may also mean "this" so could it also mean "I am making this breakfast"?
You'd need the definite article - Dw i'n gwneud y brecwast yma - although that's also slightly ambiguous, i.e. it could mean "I'm making this [particular] breakfast" or "I'm making the breakfast here [not you]". If you needed to, you could avoid the ambiguity by using "hwn", "Dw i'n gwneud y brecwast hwn".
Can gwneud also mean doing?
To my recollection, it can; for example, "Beth wyt ti'n gwneud?" means "What are you doing?"
If I remember my gcse correctly gwneud means to do or to make, so yes - useful verb to know.
Yes. "gwneud" can be "doing" or "making".
I can't help but picture this being said by an angry New Yorker frying bacon in the middle of the street. "Hey, watch it, I'm makin' breakfast here!"
Not really. "'ma" is just a contraction of "yma", "'na" of "yna".
You can contract "yma/yna" in informal language, especially after a vowel e.g. y bara 'ma, y dyn 'na.
I think he was replying to DamonLordAuthor's comment, though he didn't use the reply functionality.
How is "gwneud" pronounced? It sounds like the audio is saying "made".
I sounds like "gneud" i.e. rhymes with English "made" but with "gn" at the front. The "w" means your lips are rounded when you pronounce the "gn" bit. So round your lips and then open them as you say "gneud". Sorry that's the best I can do in text!
The "w" is hardly heard, and the "g" is usually dropped too (at least round here, Ceredigion/north Pembs), so it ends up sounding more or less like "nade".
Not quite. /j/ is the sound of [y] in yellow or [j] in German ja or [i] in Welsh Ionawr.
You're right, it can be analysed as [i], but it also can be analysed as [j]. John Wells the phonetician, and Welsh speaker, mentions this in his work. I personally think it's a better way to represent the behaviour of Welsh diphthongs, especially when it comes to representation of things like complementary quantity, e.g. llai, llaid S: [ɬajˑ, ɬajˑd], N: [ɬajˑ, ɬajdˑ]; lleia, lleidiog S:[ɬejˑa, ɬejˑdjɔg], N:[ɬejˑa, ɬejdˑjɔg]. Transcription such as [ɬaiˑ, ɬaiˑd, ɬeiˑdjɔg] etc. wouldn't really work.
So how would you write the second part of a falling diphthong such as Welsh ‹eu›? As far as I know, it is not pronounced as two separate vowels as in /ei/.
To my ears it sounds like the English word "grenade", without the R.
Hey, can you keep it down? Dw i'n gwineud brecwast yma!
I put 'i'm making' instead of i am making should count.
WOW this is great that there is so much knowledge out there to share. I'm overwhelmed. Lingots to everyone.
In my head this is being said by Billy Crystal. | 2019-04-18T15:07:06 | https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/13179031/Dw-i-n-gwneud-brecwast-yma |
The Cathedral sits on a site of Christian worship stretching back to the late 6th. century. Construction was started in the mid 13th. century but the building was only complete for around 100 years when the Reformation, in 1560, led to serious damage. The Choir was restored around 1600 and continues to be used as the Parish church today.
As the Parish Church of Dunkeld, we are part of the Church of Scotland. The Church of Scotland is Presbyterian in structure, and all services are usually conducted in this style, and have been since the settlement after the Glorious Revolution in 1688. The term Presbyterian refers to the style of church government based on a series of courts (or committees). Each local church has a Kirk Session which consists in the minister and a number of elders. Each minister and an elder from every parish is a member of the Presbytery which has oversight of a larger area and the supreme court of the church is the General Assembly which meets annually in Edinburgh.
Hymns are from the 4th edition of the Church Hymnary and the Choir sings and Introit and Anthem every week and during the winter break in February the Hand Bell ringing group often takes part.
Visitors and children are always warmly welcomed at any of our services. At the Cathedral, local children go to The Chanonry for their classes after the second hymn. For visiting children who stay 'Activity Packs' are available containing colouring sheets, crayons and a bible story book - just ask an elder at the door.
After the service everyone is welcome to stay for tea and coffee.
During the summer there are occasional 'Songs of Silence' services which last for 45 minutes. These are reflective in nature, using Taize music and other similar styles.
The main morning service is at 11am. From Easter Sunday to Remembrance we are in the Cathedral and then from Remembrance to Palm Sunday in Little Dunkeld Kirk.
Services held every third Sunday of the month - communion is celebrated in Amulree at the June and November services.
On the first Sunday of the month at 3pm. a group from the local churches leads a service in the sitting room of the Servite Sheltered Housing complex. Visitors and friends are always welcome.
A service is held in the local residential home on the third Thursday of the month. In March, June, September and December the usual service is preceded by a short celebration of communion.
Is celebrated at 11am and 6.30pm on the first Sundays of March, June, September and December every year. On the Sunday following each of these there is a communion service at Dowally.
The Church of Scotland practices infant baptism as well as adults. Anyone interested in enquiring about Baptism for themselves or their children should contact the Minster.
For information on Weddings contact the Minister. To listen to suggested wedding music, please go to our 'Music & Song' page.
A CD entitled "The Bells, Choir and Organ of Dunked Cathedral.". The CD, costing £10, can be purchased by contacting the Session Clerk. | 2019-04-26T01:58:51 | https://www.dunkeldcathedral.org.uk/church-life-worship |
With Christmas a mere 20 days away, it’s time to start thinking about who’s getting what this year. But if the thought of traipsing the high street in search of the perfect Secret Santa prezzie fills you with dread, look no further than E5P. We’ve come up with the perfect gift guide for any recipient – so you get to sit back and enjoy those Love Actually reruns.
For anyone who loves a bit of sparkle, Christmas gifting comes down to one thing: jewellery. Look out for a matching set that they’ll be able to wear for New Year’s Eve, and make sure it’s in-keeping with their other favourite pieces.
For some, it’s all about quality, not quantity. We all know somebody who’s got exceptional (if a little expensive taste). They’re the ones who always ask for a gift receipt, because they’re not likely to keep something unless they’ve specifically asked for it. For these tricky-to-please recipients, you’re going to have to go that extra mile to ensure their happiness – our VIP section was made for them (just don’t mention how much money you’ve saved!).
For home birds, Christmas is all about hosting the perfect soirées. If there’s an opportunity to serve up a 3 course meal, they’re always the first to do it. They love to feed their nearest and dearest, and tend to have more fun nattering with their friends at home rather than at nightclubs. Treat your favourite hosts to something for the home – and expect it to be used/in full view next time you’re round.
At this time of the year, there’s nothing better than cosying up indoors. If you know anyone who prefers not to venture out between now and springtime, treating them to some luxury loungewear is bound to go down well. After all, who doesn’t want to stay stylish, even when they’re binge-watching their favourite series?
Everyone’s got a friend who juggles a multitude of things without breaking a sweat. They’re probably co-founding a start-up whilst doing ‘desk yoga’ as we speak. And for them, time is of the essence; make their busy lives a little easier by gifting them a chic (and practical) timepiece. Always go for an analogue watch though; it’s likely that your recipient isn’t a fan of the chunkier digital versions, and tends towards the classics.
Know a guy who simply loves the holidays? Treat him to a novelty Christmas jumper! And if he’s one of those people that has everything, this one’s great if you’re at a real loss as to what to get them.
Whether they live in the city or the countryside, some people just prefer to be outside (yes, even in this weather!). The outdoorsy type hates tat; your gift to them should serve a purpose, lest it end up in the charity bag. So, why not treat him to something he can wear outdoors? As long as it can be re-purposed for Glastonbury, he’ll be happy.
Give the wannabe rock star something they really want – without having to fork out for an electric guitar – by gifting him a new band t-shirt. He’s probably a fan of the classics, so indulge him with a tee that’s got that perfectly worn-in, vintage aesthetic. Just brace yourself for any air guitar moments that it could inspire.
For your ‘jeans and a t-shirt kinda guy,’ keep things simple. Always perfectly pared-back, he won’t thank you for anything too garish. But since it’s a little chilly, go for something long-sleeved; as long as it’s plain enough to complement his denim staples, you’ll be fine.
Whether he’s obsesses with the gym or crazy about football, every sports fan needs some suitable footwear. Look out for a pair of trainers that’ll double up for the pub; every team player deserves a post-workout pint! | 2019-04-18T20:59:14 | https://blog.everything5pounds.com/your-ultimate-christmas-gift-guide/ |
If your looking to rent a rolloff in Downers Grove, don’t accept slow responding companies or late deliveries. For over 10 year’s we’ve delivered our dumpsters on-time, when and where our customers need them.
Hiring a reliable dumpster rental company in the Chicago area would be the best way to handle all these issues efficiently. Make sure that you deal with the No. 1 so you will get the best value for your money. Dumpster containers are obtainable in different sizes from 10 to 40 yarders. They have weight restriction on each container and any extra haul away will incur extra charges over the overall rental cost. Go for the best dumpster rental service provider to remove all the waste produced at the job site.
10 Cubic Yards – 3.5’ tall by 10’ long: The 10-yard dumpster is a pretty safe bet if you’ve got a small cleanout or remodeling project going on. Its dimensions make it convenient to load onto a roll off truck for disposal. A 10-cubic yard dumpster is one of the smallest size roll-off dumpster for rent. It will be perfect if you do not have a lot of junk but not enough space to place a bigger dumpster container in your driveway.
20 Cubic Yards – 3.5’ tall by 22’ long: Our 20 Yard dumpster bins are mostly used for the removal of heavy debris, like concrete, dirt, brick, and asphalt. This is good for whole house renovations, additions, large basement and attic cleanouts and getting rid of bulky furniture.
30 Cubic Yards – 5’ tall by 22’ long: This is a large container by most standards. This can handle approximately nine pickup truck loads of waste. You can put any item inside the container so long as it is not on the list of prohibited items, so keep this in mind to ensure a smooth disposal of your junk.
40 Cubic Yards – 6.5’ tall by 22’ long: These are the most high priced and largest of all Waste Management receptacles. This size is most suitable for construction and demolition projects where you expect to dispose a significant volume of wood, lumber, drywall, and shingles. If you do the calculation, that is rather a lot of fuel you’re saving, well before you take into account the hassle and time.
How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Downers Grove?
1. Size: length of Rental – How long can I use the old toilet? Unlike most companies, we do not mind if we keep your dumpster for between five to seven days. The flat rate for residential dumpster rental usually applies for only a particular period. Beware of dumpster rental companies that promise to offer a seven-day rental period but give you less than seven days.
2. Type: The type of dumpster will also be significant in computing the overall rental price. As a result, the size of the bin is often the biggest factor when it comes to dumpster prices. It is made with sturdier materials so it can serve its purpose, and the fact that it takes more effort and better care for a dumpster of this type to unload, also makes it more pricey. Below are some different types of containers for hire that might impact the overall cost of the rental.
3. Contents: What you put inside the dumpster is going to influence the overall rental cost, too. Some companies will ask you for additional fees for some specific contents as many contain poisonous materials and, as such, their disposal costs more. Some of the hazardous materials include asbestos, pesticides, herbicides, batteries, gasoline, oil filters, car tires, solvents, wet paint or any liquid, sealed barrels and dead animals. The following are additional items that may affect the price of your dumpster rental.
While a permit is not required in Downers Grove Illinois when placing a dumpster on private property, you still have to check with your local Downers Grove city office for the specific rules about dumpster rental placement. Since rules change from time to time, it is best to check in with the Downers Grove offices just to be certain. Then again, we know this may not be practical if you are going to undertake a large project. | 2019-04-24T15:03:26 | http://dumpsterrentalchicagoil.net/hassle-free-dumpster-rental-downers-grove/ |
After having recited the same spell they were transported back to the past again. Phoebe looked around herself in awe. It was snowing and it was very cold,but luckily(she thought)once again,they had been provided with the right clothes to cover themselves up and to fit into the frame of the time. And when she raised her head up,she saw a great palace standing tall over the rest of the buildings nearby. It also wasn't very difficult to recognize it. It was the Ipatiev house,the last house of the Tzar and the place where the slaughter of the Romanov family had begun. She turned around to see what Paige was thinking,but she didn't see her anywhere. "Paige,Paigeee,where are you?" She kept calling for her for what seemed like hours,but were in truth only some minutes;but nobody answered. It seemed as if her sister had totally been swallowed by the earth and if they were to accomplish this mission together,then why had they been separated? She felt the hurt creeping back in her heart. Deep inside there was something in heart telling her that,although she couldn't see her,Paige was just fine,and she had no reason to worry,but she had never beared being alone. She had spent her whole life with her sisters,and she was not the strong one. Prue and Piper had been strong,and Paige had been born a braveheart and ready for the battle,even when everything seemed to be over. She could be strong too,but also needed to hear it out from the others,that she was strong and brave,especially from her sisters. She was nobody without them. So she sat down on the snow and brought her hands to her head. What was she to do without them?
Paige didn't know where she was,but even if she hadn't known Russia well enough(which she did,because she had oddly never minded geography),she would've known that was not where she was. She also knew another thing:Phoebe was not with her,and the worst thing was that although to everybody's eyes she looked strong,she didn't feel so at all. She didn't know that her sister was wondering exactly the same thing,but great and sisterly minds often think alike and she was not immune to this "spell".She didn't think to be strong enough to go on by herself for so long,because since when she had gotten to the Manor,not a day had gone by without her sisters guiding her through her life and now none of them was by her side. She needed her best friend,her counselor,Phoebe to tell her that everything was gonna be okay;she needed Piper to lecture her for her recklessness and she needed to know if she was making her oldest sister proud. There were several questions,however,going through her mind:where was she?How was she to accomplish her mission without Phoebe?Where was Phoebe?And above all,why wasn't she with her? | 2019-04-25T07:05:19 | https://www.inkitt.com/stories/fanfiction/53983/chapters/7 |
/ Blog / How can Growth Hacking benefit you?
You want to market your business, but you don't have as much money as your competitors. What should you do? Growth hacking is a rapid experimentation process in which you can truly change things within your marketing to grow faster. The beautiful part about growth hacking is, it involves all channels within the organization, not just marketing, it involves the product, engineering, and sometimes even sales. In today's article, we will try to discuss Growth Hacking. At first, we need to know basically what is growth hacking, how can it benefits you etc.
Growth Hacking is a term for strategies focused solely on business growth. It is usually used for startups in the initial stages, whose small budget requires a wider increase in the short term.
The goal of growth hacking techniques is to achieve many customers as possible at as low cost. The word "growth hacking" was created in 2010 by the founder and CEO of Growth hackers, Sean Ellis.
A Growth Hacker is a person who uses creative, low-cost strategies that help businesses acquire and maintain customers. Sometimes Growth Hackers are also called Growth Marketers, but Growth Hackers are not simply marketers. Anyone involved in a product or service, including product managers and engineers, maybe a growth hacker. A growth hacker is too clever and analytical. Growth Hacker always applies various techniques to increase his business. They are studying estimates, priorities and innovative growth strategies. They always analyze different strategies, to see their business growth. A standard growth hacker knows, how to set priorities, channel identification is required to increase customer, a dimension of success and growth scale.
How does works Growth Hacking?
Many startups use Dave McClure as a recipe to increase "pirate funnel". Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Referral, and Revenue (AARRR). Others include increasing awareness as the main part of growth hacking. Its main task is to generate traffic and visitors, convert the visitor to the user and keep all the users as a happy customer.
An acquisition is the first contact way to make a relation between a customer and your product or website. In the acquisition section, the customers see your website homepage or landing page. Then perhaps they visit some pages from your site.
Activation is the stage, where people are actually using your product. It may sound like a short description to new entrepreneurs, "Of course, all the people who fill our registration form will use the product!" But you will be disappointed that the rate of activation rate is <25% in online businesses. This is particularly common with technology like SaaS, but it is equally valid for a mobile application or any other business.
Once you have acquired a group of users and they used all your products (created their first invoice, created their first project) you have to focus on those users to come back regularly.
Referrals, especially 2 people who know each other, will get their maximum conversion rate in your app and your user base is likely to grow faster. Getting users at the referral stage means they just do not like your product, but they think that their contacts and friends can also benefit from that value. Once you start looking at the referral stage, it's important to make sure you have some viral processes. Share buttons, promo codes, approved links, "powered by", invite colleagues etc. If you have a few of your time, you can start the A/B test and monitor the effectiveness of your referrals.
Monitoring revenues are an important part of avoiding vanity metrics at your beginning. It is also important that you set up 4 other layers before the revenues if you are doing work for only revenue then you have to understand, without them you only waste your time in front of customers.
AARRR comes with its simplicity and also AARRR is quite possibly the simplest growth model to increase your business.
How to start Growth Hacking?
At first, create your product and test it to ensure that the customer is willing to purchase it. Update your products regularly and receive customer feedback and be sure that you are on the right track. At the same time, market your products for incremental growth and find out the success of those results. A/B test and other conversion optimization strategies are crucial for effective for growth hacking. Before you apply growth hacking to your business, you need to verify some things about your business. Now, we will discuss two things, which are very important to verify before applying Growth Hacking on your business or startup.
What the type of your business?
What kind of product or service do you offer?
Why would a buyer come to you right?
Who are your buyers? Any person or an organization?
Where are your customers? How do you deliver the product to them?
Is your business idea durable?
Once you find out the business field, then you need to find out the answer to this question (Is your business idea is durable?). That's why you have to analyze the market. Through this, who is going to be the buyer of your product or your business, you can understand whether your business will become a profitable business. You must be aware of your competitors. Then your product/service is going to be different from them for which a customer can come out to you, you can understand it. For this reason, you can also run some small tests that will help you with your product.

Our Obama is such a great American (except when he promised to “fundamentally transform America” and then began breaking established laws and our constitution to do it) and is so accomplished and widely recognized as an expert in international relations (except for the disasters in Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, Crimea, Georgia, ISIS) that one jumps at the chance to latch on to his experience and to learn from his sage advice.
For example he recently stated that he hopes Donald Trump will “stand up to Russia” when Trump becomes president. What a load of crap from this fool man! Obama is the one who laughed at Mitt Romney in a 2012 debate, when Romney stated that Russia can be dangerous to American interests. And Obama’s illogical reasoning for countering Romney’s assertion that Russia has evil intentions toward America was based on his (Obama’s) opinion that Russia is old, Twentieth century news and offers no threat to America in Obama’s new, more sophisticated, more nuanced, Twenty-first century. As usual, Obama could not be more wrong, nor his ideas more dangerous for America. And Mitt Romney was completely correct.
And how can one forget the open mic that picked up Obama in a foreign alcove, heads inclined toward each other and speaking softly with Russian Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev, begging the PM to assure Vladimir Putin that he (Obama) is working hard to do what Putin wants him to do, and to give him (Obama) a little more time so he could win his presidential re-election, and then he’d be free to work deals with the Russian dictator in his (Obama’s) second administration, just as “Vlad” (that’s how Obama addresses his pal, Vladimir) wants him to. Obama is a bought-and-paid-for comrade of Russia, and his pal, “Vlad”. If this begging on the part of an American president, seeking to be given more time by the Russian president to keep that Russian president happy, is “standing up” to Russia, then I’m lost on the English language and the meaning of its words.
The only “standing up” Obama does is to the Tea Party, Israel, the NRA, Christians and similar groups that he knows will not do anything violent or illegal to oppose him. However, his response to nations that hate us and publicly state that they want our national death, (and here one thinks immediately of the world’s leading terrorist nation, Iran) he makes nice with them and allows them to continue to develop the nuclear capacity with which they can eventually destroy America, and then gives them billions of dollars, in a plane-load of cash, which of course they will use to kill more innocent people around the world and further hasten their development of a nuclear weapon. Wow! That’s really “standing up” to the Mullah’s international war of terror, Barry.
Obama is a loser who is scrambling to protect and defend his many failed policies and his teetering legacy, and the election of Donald Trump has been a repudiation of everything Obama stands for. | 2019-04-25T00:06:38 | http://www.daveking2010.com/2016/11/obama-wise-accomplished-russia-expert.html |
For most investors, the market for gold and silver stocks resembles a battlefield littered with the dead and dying, especially after the last day or two. The key for investors is picking those stocks that have the best chance for survival, and sticking with them until they are able to recover. In this interview with The Gold Report, Chen Lin tells us what he looks for to make that critical decision and why he believes that platinum and palladium should do well regardless of what is happening with gold and silver.
The Gold Report: As you noted in your last interview with The Gold Report in February, Goldman Sachs was predicting that gold would to go down to $1,200/ounce ($1,200/oz) in several years, and now "Dr. Doom," Nouriel Roubini, says it's going to $1,000/oz. What's your view?
Chen Lin: In the near term, I think gold is being controlled by the paper market on Wall Street, which is unfortunate. However, I'm still bullish for the long run.
TGR: Do you see anything on the economic horizon that could create a more positive environment for gold in the near term?
CL: Personally, I'm not sure all the problems are behind us. Japan just had a big swing in the stock market and is going through a risky experiment to do a quantitative easing (QE), which is actually on a much larger scale than that of the U.S. I think Japan, for the next few months if not year or two, will decide how successful QE can be. Japan is doing much, much stronger QE than that of the U.S, which has 100% debt to gross domestic product (GDP). Japan has over 200%. So actually it's a blessing to the U.S. to see what is going to happen with the Japanese experiment. I think that will be a key indicator for the longer term effectiveness of QE.
TGR: What do you think is going to happen with silver in light of the gold price predictions?
CL: Silver has been more volatile than gold. I'm also bullish long term on silver. But near term, there could be more downside because investment demand is down and there could be a surplus this year. Only investment demand can pick up the surplus. So if the demand is not here, we could have more downside with silver. Again, I'm watching the exchange-traded fund inflow and outflow very carefully to see the investment demand for both gold and silver.
TGR: What part of silver demand do you think might be due to industrial uses versus investment or speculation?
CL: Demand has been picking up especially for electronic components, but the total production in silver is much greater than industrial demand. The surplus has to be absorbed by either jewelry, which is limited, or other investment demand.
TGR: You talked last time about your more positive outlook for base and industrial metals. Does your outlook remain the same?
CL: I'm still bullish on platinum and palladium. Both the European Union and China will have new car emission standards starting in January 2014. I believe the car manufacturers will start to stockpile those metals in H2/13. Plus, we have South African labor issues and then Russia finishing up stockpiling palladium. I'm bullish on both metals, and I have been holding both.
I actually turned quite bearish on base metals earlier this year, right after the February interview, because I saw rapid slowing in China. I even told my subscribers to write a note to themselves saying China is slowing down and then put it on their monitors so they would be reminded every time they trade. I believe this is a major change in the commodity market, and it can play out for years. As I stated in my newsletter, I shorted copper as a trade. I also shorted the Australian dollar, oil and U.S. government bonds. I've already closed the Australian dollar short for a nice profit. I shorted it when it was trading at a $1.05 premium to the U.S. dollar and now it has gone down to $0.92. So, generally, I turned very bearish on base metals, but I'm still bullish on the platinum group metals—platinum and palladium.
TGR: I know you were quite excited about Ivanplats Ltd. (IVP:TSX) last time. The company just announced that it is going forward with the Platreef platinum mine in South Africa. Do you have any further thoughts on that? The stock had a little bit of a run-up and then came down. People either didn't care or weren't paying attention. What do you think happened on that one?
CL: It's unfortunate. Actually, I closed out Ivanplats a long time ago when the stock was much higher. Basically, Platreef is a world-class deposit, but the company needs to raise money to build the mine and I'm trying to stay with companies that can be self-funding and make it through this dry patch in the near term.
TGR: How are your current price expectations influencing your investment strategy and stock picks at this time?
CL: Because of the near-term uncertainty and with summer coming, which is usually the weakest period for gold and silver miners, I'm actually trying to stay light on both silver and gold miners except in special situations. For the miners, I focus on those that can be self-funding and do not need to come to the market to issue shares that dilute existing shareholders.
TGR: Can you tell us how your gold and silver stock portfolio has been doing since last February and how you've been coping with this choppy market?
CL: My portfolio has done terribly this year for gold and silver miners. As I told my subscribers, when gold and silver started to crash in early April, I pulled back and I moved the capital to hotter areas, like biotech. I'm still keeping some positions in gold and silver miners, and I believe one day the market will turn around.
TGR: Can you bring us up to date on some of the companies that you talked about last time that you still like and think have potential?
"I focus on miners that can be self-funding and do not need to come to the market to issue shares that dilute existing shareholders."
CL: OceanaGold Corp. (OGC:TSX; OGC:ASX) is doing quite well. It is starting up a world-class Didipio mine in the Philippines, and everything is going quite smoothly. OceanaGold has about $50 million ($50M) of debt due at the end of this year, but it has already arranged a credit line against that just in case it needs to pay it off. So OceanaGold is quite self-sufficient.
The company is guiding about 300,000 oz gold production this year at $650–800 cash costs. Its costs are highly influenced by the New Zealand dollar, which is dropping. The Philippine peso is also dropping. If energy prices drop, that will also help it a lot. So its costs can change with the market conditions. Next year, OceanaGold will be in a much better situation with the Didipio mine fully commissioned, and I believe it will be looking at a dividend policy next year.
TGR: Where is OceanaGold stock trading now?
CL: It's only $1.27/share and has been cut in half in the past six months.
Next, Orvana Minerals Corp. (ORV:TSX) is doing quite well operationally. The company is generating a lot of cash flow this year and I calculated that if gold averages $1,200/oz and copper averages $3/pound for the rest of this year, it will pay back the debt due this year and should be fine. I visited the mine in Spain a few months ago. It's running very smoothly and has a lot of potential to improve next year. The key question for Orvana is its Copperwood property in Michigan. I have been lobbying the management for almost a year not to proceed on its own and not to take on debt to do so. It looks as if the new management team is listening. It is looking at all the alternative strategies for Copperwood and I hope for a positive outcome. Then the company will be a self-generating cash machine by the end of this year.
TGR: How has that stock done at this point?
CL: That stock is also almost down half in the past six months.
TGR: What about other companies?
"This is truly a stock picker's market because people are throwing out the baby with the bath water."
CL: I visited both of Petaquilla Minerals Ltd.'s (PTQ:TSX; PTQMF:OTCBB; P7Z:FSE) operations, in Panama and Spain, in the past few months. They are running very smoothly. In Panama, the heap leach just started. That will bring in additional revenue. The key point that investors are missing about Petaquilla is that First Quantum Minerals (FM:TSX), which bought Inmet Mining Corp., agreed to pay up to $150M for its land position and for its aggregate in Panama. That itself is much more than the current market cap of Petaquilla. I continue to be amazed at how low a valuation the market has given to Petaquilla and believe that one day the market will wake up about it. The market cap is around $66M, and First Quantum is going to pay it up to $150M.
Finally, there is Pretium Resources Inc. (PVG:TSX; PVG:NYSE), which is one of the nonproducers I own. The company has a very high-grade gold mine in the Yukon. Some ore runs at 1 kilogram per tonne. Pretium just announced a feasibility study, showing an internal rate of return on investment of 43% at $1,350/oz gold and $20/oz silver. The payback time is 2.1 years. So if you believe in the long-term future of gold and silver, this is one stock to own.
TGR: When is it going to be in production?
CL: Probably 2015 or 2016, depending on the permitting, etc.
TGR: What kind of a capital expenditure is required to get that into production?
CL: It's in the feasibility study it just announced. It's $660M.
TGR: Do you think Pretium will have problems raising that kind of capital?
CL: For a world-class mine like that, I don't think it will be a problem. Payback is two years.
TGR: Do you have any new names you'd like to talk about?
CL: One company I feel is very attractive right now is Alacer Gold Corp. (ASR:TSX: AQG:ASX). It's an interesting new addition to my portfolio. The company just announced multiple bids on its Australian asset. Alacer did another recent transaction on it Frog's Leg property and if you calculate the production by the reserves, this new transaction could fetch at least $400M, maybe $500M. The company has about $250M in cash. It has a vast world-class asset in Turkey with cash costs of $300/oz. That makes it incredibly undervalued.
CL: Around $2.41/share, with a market cap of around $750M. If the deal, as I calculated, is closed, then it will be trading around cash.
TGR: I suppose that one is down for the year also.
CL: Oh, yes. The stock is down by more than half in the past year and was $12/share two years ago. It shows how depressed the market is. It looks really good at this level. When it sold the last asset, it paid a nice $0.24/share dividend. I wouldn't be surprised if it pays another dividend after the next sale.
Nobody is looking at the market right now, so for our investors, this kind of opportunity wouldn't exist if gold were hot. But if you look deeply in the market, lots of opportunities are available.
TGR: So what kind of strategy should investors be looking at now when it comes to precious metals investments over the next few months?
CL: I'm cautious on gold and silver mining because the end of June is the end of both the quarter and the half of the year. There could be more fund redemptions in the near term. But I like special situations, like Alacer; if it does the deal as I calculated, it will be trading around cash. So those kinds of special situations exist for those investors who are willing to look into the market. The first thing for investors in this brutal bear market is to stay alive. I believe there will be great opportunities waiting for us.
TGR: Do you think any of these companies are takeover targets at this point or do the potential buyers have too many of their own problems to be worrying about takeovers?
CL: That's a great point. The majors are having problems. They are facing management changes and shareholder revolts. There may be some takeover targets, but I would first want the company to be self-funding and self-growing, and there will be winners coming out of this correction.
TGR: Any other thoughts that you'd like to leave with us on the precious metals?
CL: The gold and silver miners are going through a terrible time. Some of the problems are due to the weak gold and silver price, but a lot are due to mismanagement. The miners could be weakened further as we head into the summer, which is the traditional weak season. This is truly a stock picker's market because people are throwing out the baby with the bath water. Right now, I'm focused on special situations. The one thing I hope comes out of this correction is that miners learn lessons from their past failures and that they can run lean and efficiently. Then if gold and silver take off, we can have some huge rallies in the stocks, just as in 2009.
TGR: Managements tend to get overly optimistic when things are going well, just like real estate investors. Then when things get tough, they learn lessons.
CL: Let's hope they learned the lesson. There has been a lot of incredible mismanagement.
TGR: Thanks for speaking with us today, Chen. We appreciate your updates and hearing about your current expectations.

Is Social Media Marketing an Effective B2B Tool?
I’ve just read a blog that was featured on Fastcompany.com on August 10, written by David Lavenda. It essentially asks the question – is social media marketing effective in a B2B environment, as much as it’s proven to be in a B2C environment?
Mu understanding of David’s opinion is the key issue that continues to raise its head is this – until tangible ROI sales metrics can be generated, many B2Bs are struggling to justify the spend required to really make an impact. In the blog, David mentioned that most Twitter success stories tend to be B2C and that many prominent business leaders and influencers don’t even have an active account. Additionally, while LinkedIn is viewed as the B2B social media tool of choice for most in business (in excess of 60%), many see the main benefit as a great recruitment tool and not much else. Facebook hardly gets a mention and the author has seen poor results personally.
Is anyone surprised by this? I’m not.
The thing is sales metrics will be created to prove the value of B2B social media marketing. It’s going to happen because too many businesses are too deeply invested in it to let it fail. I know this is a cynical view, but its how this stuff works from my experience, and therefore, I believe it’s only a matter of time. Why do I believe this? I’ve witnessed many marketing sectors create metrics to justify their services (such as PR metrics), and I can promise you that the forthcoming measurability of social media will be sound enough to justify the benefits and the investment.
In the meantime, while we’re waiting on great metrics to justify spend, even when some of us know intuitively the value of B2B social media marketing for our own business communities, there is another evolution taking place that I believe is even more important right now.
I think this is the most important change taking place at the moment in Asia Pacific. B2B companies who are embracing social media are becoming more personal, really listening to their customers, meeting their customers’ challenges and solving their problems, educating them from their perspective, and more. I believe that this is a very good thing, and ultimately, the companies who do this well are going to be far ahead of businesses maintaining the status quo until they see hard proof that social media marketing is worth the investment.
Social media marketing is as much about what and how you say things, as it is about the sales metrics. Business culture and how we approach marketing is changing because of this new world, so I believe that waiting for proof is only going to put businesses further behind, because the proof is coming, and therefore, changing the business culture of how you market right now is vital, otherwise you may be too late.
So is your company pro-active or waiting on proof that it’s worth the investment?
NextAre PR Agencies a Strategic Fit for Social Businesses?
The biggest pain in social media is engagement. It does not matter if you are a big or a small organization and how much you strategize on paper. Ultimately it will only work if you have connect. A number of agencies try to sell social media dreams but engagement is what matters.
Hey Kavita, ain’t that the truth and something I also see within the cultural change aspect, but you are the social media queen, so you know!! | 2019-04-19T07:07:04 | https://andreatedwards.com/2011/08/16/is-social-media-marketing-an-effective-b2b-tool/ |
We seek to engage in church planting and serving the marginalized and needy throughout our region.
A small band of Living Hope families moved to Memphis’ Vollintine Evergreen neighborhood over 7 years ago – 2 years later, a church was established that is still going strong. Pastor Justin Burkhead leads a multi-ethnic, multi-socioeconomic congregation – a church that reflects God’s heart for all people and demonstrates how the Gospel can bring people together. Another church gifted us a building in the neighborhood and much ministry takes place there that is a blessing to the entire city.
Pastor Broderick Connesero came through Living Hope’s pastoral residency program with a dream to plant a church in Memphis’ Orange Mound neighborhood, where he had already been doing student ministry for years. The Common seeks to be a place where people can heal from past “church hurt” and discover what it means to live in Gospel-centered community. They also want to serve the people in their neighborhood, spotlighting the Good News through their good works.
Pastor Brandon Brown came through Living Hope’s pastoral residency program and feels called to plant a church in Germantown. Grace City seeks to reach the many young families and internationals that are moving to the area. Suburbs are designed to be a retreat from the world and one unfortunate result of that is that the people living there often find themselves outside of community. At Grace City connecting people in gospel communities that serve together on mission is a top priority.
Pastor Isaias Uaene is a church planter and trainer of pastors from Mozambique. In the states getting a degree from Union University, he and his wife Quezia felt led to plant a church in the apartment complex where they live. It is possibly the most diverse area in our city, with people from Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America, living alongside white and black Memphians. They have a vision for a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic church that is already taking shape.
Hope House operates out of Collierville Mobile Home Park (558 Rowlett West). Director Lynn Clay organizes Bible Studies, tutoring, ESL classes and more for the park’s mostly Hispanic residents.
By working to make life-on-life connections at the U of M, college students are coming to know Christ, mature in their relationship with Him, and share their lives and faith with others through evangelism and discipleship.
Global Friends is a ministry of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship for international college students. They are reaching students at the U of M from all over the world through caring relationships. They are sharing the Good News and adorning that message with their love.
MFCC provides quality professional care (therapy, training, parent mentors, training) for adoptive and foster families in the Memphis area. There is no other center like this in the country! Living Hope provides financially so that a professional counselor is available to families one day a week.
McLean Baptist Church blessed Living Hope with the gift of their building on the corner of Jackson and McLean Blvd in Memphis. Our first church plant, Living Hope:Vollintine Evergreen operates out of the building, along with many other ministries and non-profits who are working for the Kingdom and the good of Memphis.
VENS is committed to being a school that strengthens families, and to be a community of people who love and care for the Vollintine Evergreen neighborhood. Playschool is for infants, preschoolers and Kindergateners; Aftercare is for all school-aged children.
As an extension of the City Ministry Center, a unit has been obtained at nearby Lincoln Apartments to serve that community. Currently under renovation, in the near future there will be Bible Studies, tutoring, job training, and other classes occurring in this space.
An arm of City Leadership and Choose 901, Serve 901 provides service-learning trips for college student to understand and serve Memphis. Hundreds of students a year come stay at the Bunkhouse in our City Ministry Center, going out each day to impact our city.
A recovering addict, Melvin Lewis felt called to help others struggling with addiction. By learning how to live again in an environment of support, counseling, structure and accountability, residents at the Gaal House are treated as individuals and each one’s needs are addressed accordingly. This helps to insure continuity for life-long sobriety. | 2019-04-23T22:57:25 | https://lhchurch.com/city/ |

Winning an Emmy in 1990.
After working in network TV for a decade as a graphics producer in New York, I decided to try something new and took a teaching position at Bilkent University in Turkey for two years. Upon returning to the States, I opened my first sculpture studio in Cooperstown, in rural Upstate New York.
Twelve years later, I moved west and began working in Taos, New Mexico, the legendary high-desert town of Agnes Martin, Georgia O’keeffe and D.H. Lawrence.
My Taos studio was a shack with no running water or insulation. It had a plywood roof that leaked like a sieve during the spring snow melt. But it had a splendid view of Taos Mountain and intrepid clients found adventure in the pilgrimage to see my work. It was an isolated haven of creativity.

During that time, I was exposed to Native Indian culture and ideas that influenced my view of our responsibility for the stewardship of nature. Ecological concerns had always been a part of my motivation to create images of animals, but I began finding a way to express a deeper message even as I developed practical solutions to the problems of building sculpture.

In Taos I met Larry Bell who had studios in both Taos and Venice Beach, California. In his Taos workshop Bell showed me how he created metallic finishes on glass and paper using a hi-tech process called thin film deposition. Larry had a coterie of counter-culture artist friends in Taos that included Dennis Hopper, Ken Price, Dean Stockwell and Ronald Davis. When I visited Larry at his studio in Venice Beach, I began to see the possibilities of living and working in Southern California. In 2010, I left Taos and moved to Los Angeles.
After exploring the glitzy, garish LA art scene, I went into the studio and destroyed many of my early works. I began to gravitate toward abstraction. I started work on a series of assemblage orbs made from discarded stainless steel objects – pots, pans, hubcaps and pet bowls.

I first developed this curious pack-rat technique of joining dissimilar objects together in Taos, but in LA I began using it to make non-objective forms. I called these conglomerations of objects, “midden” sculptures. The term midden refers to a dump for domestic waste which may consist of animal bone, botanical material, vermin, shells, shards and other artifacts and ecofacts associated with past human occupation. In a consumer culture that promotes materialistic excess evidenced by conspicuous over consumption, planned obsolescence, hoarding and the production of massive amounts of garbage, the midden work offered a new perspective on the pervasive cycle of production, consumption, and destruction. | 2019-04-22T08:40:39 | http://donsculpture.com/wordpress/index.php/2017/06/ |

I have tried different contexts, inbox, recycle bin, unread email, read email, but cannot find this setting, in fact according to the Google help page I am missing a whole range of settings.
Welcome to Android Central! What version of the Gmail app are you using? It just updated to 4.7.2. You are talking about the app, and not the Gmail webpage on the browser, right?
Ok, just to make sure we're on the same page, you're doing the following, correct?
2. Press Menu button (either hard menu button or 3 vertical dot soft menu button).
4. Select General Settings. Do you see the Swipe To Delete option there?
Do you think you could post a screenshot of your Gmail Settings page?
Can't tale a screen shot at moment, but this is what I have.
Strange. I suppose it could be a device specific limitation. Does Tesco have a support page? Maybe you could speak to their support department.
Thanks for your help, I'll see what I can come up with.

A Copper or PEX Repipe is a procedure where the old pipes in a house or a building are replaced with brand new ones. All water pipe fittings, stop valves and supply lines are changed. this normally produces greater water pressure and greater quality water.
Should We Repipe the house in Oakland, CA?
There are many reasons for why you needs to replace the pipes of the home.
Galvanized piping can be found in homes built through the 80’s. A galvanized pipe is an iron pipe which is coated with zinc to be protected from corrosion. Regretably the zinc coating eventually deteriorates over time revealing the iron, accompanied by oxidation build-up.
Minimal Water Pressure – The reason why may be the restriction of the water flow resulting from corrosion and rust buildup within the galvanized water line.
Rust Color Water – Rust typically goes into the fixtures. This indicates a highly developed stage of deterioration in your plumbing.
Leaking Pipes – Leaks are most frequently a result of corrosion of the galvanized iron pipes. Unseen leaks can develop inside the walls, within the attic as well as underneath the home, building up the likelihood of severe damage to your home.
This particular plastic water pipe was used from the middle of the 70’s to the early 90’s. At the time it had been perceived as the next great advancement for piping and fixtures. Polybutylene water line systems turned out to be installed in millions of places of residence before it was determined to be highly flawed. Just about 75% of homes constructed in this period of time still has this kind of pipe in the house.
Polybutylene water pipes have a very limited life span, considering that nasty chemicals in common city water causes it to harden and develop into brittle. The fittings frequently start leaking first, followed by the water line itself.
Polybutylene pipes are made up of flexible plastic piping, gray when for indoor use and blue or black for outdoor usage. Many fittings are manufactured with plastic and metal. Insert fittings are used to join sections of polybutylene pipe.
Very increased monthly water charges.
Higher quality water pipes with no more leaky water lines.
If you hire a plumbing technician or other organization to do the job, it’s very likely going to cost you more in the long term when you consider that you’ll have to hire a drywall repair service provider to replacement patch over the numerous repair points. Any time you employ the service of a repipe business that features a master patcher on staff such as Repipe Specialists, you will never be required to invest more money or time getting the house back to normal. From beginning to end, the PEX and Copper repipe operation requires merely a couple of days. | 2019-04-23T21:59:46 | https://repipespecialists.com/location/copper-pex-repipe-and-slab-leak-costs-in-oakland-ca/ |

Local couple opens residential home, dayhab center for disabled adults Reviewed by Editor on Dec 14, 2017 .
When Beverly and Michael Wilson have seen a need in the Central Texas area for those who have adult family members with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
In October, the couple opened A Precious Place For Me (APPFM), located at 5102 Cinch Dr. in Killeen, where they have independent residential living community as well as a dayhabilitation center.
“We have three full-time residents right now; each of our homes has a capacity of three to four, by state guidelines,” said Beverly Wilson.
The center is a community-based housing program equipped for adults who have any number of intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, autism, Down syndrome, Wilson said.
Residents have attendants that are present when they are in the home, unless a resident is out of the home such as when they’re at dayhabilitation.
Part of the programs offered at APPFM is transportation for its residents, to include outings to the mall or other places like church or grocery shopping, regardless of the disability, said Wilson.
“We do field trips and outings. Recently we went shopping at Sam’s. One of our youngest residents has cerebral palsy and he was right there shopping too with everyone. There are no limitations.
In addition to the home and community-based services, APPFM also offers a “dayhabilitation” program.
The dayhab is normally open from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m., but the Wilsons say the hours can be adjusted depending on family needs.
Beverly said they have friends who have children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and the Wilsons realized their friends had no options locally for their adult children.
Wilson said the adults also need to have a safe environment, whether that is as a resident or as a dayhabilitation client.
The Wilsons also offer respite care, such as when families must go out of town for a short period of time over a weekend, or even longer time such as on a vacation.
The Wilsons can be reached at APPFM office at 254-213-1917, and the center’s website will be up on Monday at www.apreciousplaceforme.com. | 2019-04-21T16:40:16 | http://hheveningstar.com/local-couple-opens-residential-home-dayhab-center-for-disabled-adults/ |
"Aging in place" is a hot topic these days -- particularly among baby boomers who want to maintain their independence.
While flocking to smaller homes in warmer climates is still attractive for some seniors easing into their later years, more and more people are choosing to stay where they are. In fact, 85 percent of homeowners 55 and older aren't planning to sell their homes in the next year, according to a 2017 survey from Realtor.com.
"Aging in place really is a concept based on where you're living and your preference to staying, whatever you home of choice is," said Laurie Orlov, tech industry veteran, eldercare advocate and founder of Aging in Place Technology Watch.
Not every home is set up to ease the transition into adults' older years, when mobility can become a major issue. Declining hearing, sight and mental awareness can also affect how easy or safe it is to continue living independently in a person's home of choice.
But smart home technology brings a whole host of solutions to the table.
"Electronically controllable thermostats, lighting, motion sensors, smart doorbells -- these are all technologies that have been bundled into the concept of smart homes," said Orlov. "You can see how they would be useful in helping people remain in their homes even as they felt less safe in the neighborhood or weren't good at thermostat management or were at risk of falling in their own homes and being left alone."
However, there can be significant barriers for homeowners hoping to adapt their homes to be "smarter." One issue is the sometimes-complex setup process these features require, said Orlov, which can intimidate homeowners who aren't confident about their tech savviness.
Another is the cost, not only of the items themselves, but also of high-speed internet service plans, which puts smart home technology out of reach for seniors with lower incomes.
In some cases, an individual's health or financial situation could still require her to look for a different living situation. For homeowners preparing for the future, or hoping to extend their years in their current homes, here are 10 smart home features that could help.
A major trend, according to Orlov, is the rise of smart home assistant products like the Amazon Echo.
"Certainly those who can afford it are vastly going to prefer to speak to technology than touch it," she said.
Not only do smart home assistants integrate well with other smart home products, they can complete a number of tasks that some people might find difficult to do as they age. A smart home assistant can play music, read books and place phone calls, all by voice command.
"As older people remain longer in their own homes, they can keep their minds active and lives engaged with others and find services they need," Orlov continued.
The Amazon Echo is available in several sizes, but the midsize version is available for about $100.
According to the Older Americans 2016: Key Indicators of Well-Being report from the Federal Interagency Forum on Aging-Related Statistics, 46 percent of women over the age of 75 lived alone in 2015. For men, the figure is 23 percent.
Safety is, and will continue to be, a major concern for older people who live alone. Smart home devices like the Ring video doorbell allow a homeowner to see, hear and speak to someone at their door (via a smartphone, tablet or PC) without having to open it.
The Ring video doorbell is available, in a variety of colors, for about $180.
Digital thermostats can be difficult for even the most tech-savvy homeowners to understand. Smart thermostats like the Sensi Smart Thermostat help aging homeowners more easily regulate their home's temperature, which can be a health concern as well as affecting comfort.
Sensi connects with smart home assistants (like the Amazon Echo) and can be voice-controlled, so aging homeowners don't even have to push a button or read the text on their thermostat's screen. It can also be controlled via a free mobile app from a smartphone or tablet.
The Sensi Smart Thermostat is available for about $130.
Falling is a major concern for aging homeowners, especially those who live alone. Fumbling around in a dark room for a light switch creates a huge risk for falls that can be lowered by installing a smart light switch.
The Wemo Light Switch allows homeowners to control their lights -- and small appliances -- via an app on their smartphone. Lights can be set to a timer or controlled from outside the house with the app. It also connects with smart home assistants, so homeowners can turn their lights on and off by voice command.
The Wemo Light Switch is available alone for about $50.
Though they're often marketed to young, busy and tech-savvy families, smart refrigerators like the Samsung Family Hub can help aging homeowners stay on top of their grocery shopping. It's not available yet in all areas, but in some places the Samsung Family Hub lets owners order groceries directly from their refrigerator doors, which could be helpful for older people who struggle to get to the grocery store.
Not only does the Samsung Family Hub come with voice technology, but it can read out recipes for older chefs who might struggle with the small print in recipe books. It comes at a higher price point than some other smart home products, with the least-expensive model available for about $3,500.
Smart home technology isn't just useful for aging homeowners. It can also bring peace of mind to family members and caregivers. Seniors with memory problems often struggle to remember to take their medication at the right time and in the appropriate amounts.
The MedMinder Pill Dispenser helps seniors stay on top of their medication, and it can act as a safety net if seniors miss important medications or accidentally double up.
MedMinder offers several models. The most advanced allows only one compartment to open at a time and offers reminders (like flashing lights, audio prompts and phone call or text message reminders). The device can also alert caregivers or medical professionals if something goes wrong.
MedMinder Pill Dispensers are available from about $40 to about $65, depending on the model.
Even the best of us have left the stove on once or twice, but that mistake can be a significant risk for older homeowners with memory or hearing loss. The Stove Guard CookStop will turn the stove off if left unattended for a predetermined amount of time.
The settings are adjustable with a secure key, and owners can install it without having to modify the stove itself. It also has an alarm that will sound when the stove is about to turn off. CookStop models are available for various types of stoves, ranging in price from about $515 to about $650.
While robotic vacuum cleaners can help aging homeowners keep the insides of their homes clean, lawn care can be an even bigger struggle for seniors who struggle with mobility. Worx's Landroid M cordless robotic lawn mower helps homeowners take care of their lawns without needing to walk behind a mower.
It uses artificial intelligence to navigate the lawn, even in narrow spaces. When it rains, the Landroid M will shut down until the grass is dry. When the battery runs low, it automatically returns to the charging station.
The Landroid M is available for about $1,000.
The phrase "smart home" conjures an image of a house full of products that connect to smartphones, each other and the cloud. But in past years, Orlov said, experts used a more all-encompassing term: "home automation." Home automation products include items that don't fit neatly into the interconnected Internet of Things, she said, like automatic doors.
Mobility can become a problem for aging homeowners, even inside their own homes. Doors that don't require fumbling with a handle -- and in some cases, don't swing out, but slide side to-side -- can be a big help for seniors who struggle to get around.
Companies like Affordable Adaptive Solutions sell automatic door systems and can provide pricing upon request.
Reaching the top shelf of a kitchen cabinet is a common struggle. Aging homeowners, however, are often even less able to climb step stools or chairs to take items off high shelves. Cabinet lift systems help bring the top shelf to a more accessible level.
The Approach Wall Cabinet Lift has a button that adjusts the height of the cabinet up to 20 vertical inches. The system also has a safety shut-off that will automatically stop the shelf if it comes into contact with anything on the counter below it.
The Approach cabinet system is available for about $1,600. Freedom Lift Systems also carries lift systems for other kitchen features, such as sinks and cooktops. | 2019-04-26T00:31:37 | https://www.cbsnews.com/media/10-smart-home-features-to-help-you-age-in-place/2/ |

Some insulating materials when separated from the surface of others, leave those surfaces electrically charged, each with the opposite sign of charge and with a high potential difference (p.d.).
A machine to make charges was invented in 1929 by a young American called Van de Graaff. Huge machines, some over 30 m high, based on his ideas have been built to produce extremely high potential differences.
A flexible belt made from an insulating material and running continuously over two rollers can, by the same process, produce a supply of charge where the surfaces separate. The two rollers have to have different surfaces (often acrylic and metal) and together with the belt-rubber, are chosen by experiment.
Charges are “sprayed” on to and removed from the moving belt by “combs” situated adjacent to the rollers. Actual contact between the combs and the belt is not essential because of the high potential differences. Combs can be simply a stretched wire, or a sharp or serrated edge: action depends on very high potential gradients due to their small radii (similar action to lightning conductors).
The lower comb is maintained at or close to earth potential and is a drain for negative charge, leaving the belt with positive charges that are carried up to the top comb.
The top comb is connected to a collecting sphere which, having inherent electrical capacity (proportional to its radius) will collect and store the charge on its outer surface until discharged either by breakdown of the surrounding air as a spark, or by conduction to an adjacent earthed object.
So long as the belt continues to move, the process continues, the drive (motor or manual) supplying the power to overcome the electrical repulsion between the charges collected on the sphere and those arriving on the belt.
The charging current is usually a few mA and potential difference achieved by “junior generators” will be 100-150 kV and by “senior” generators up to about 300 kV.
The mechanical arrangement of the belt/roller system is very simple. The lower roller is driven either manually or by motor. The former usually involves a hand wheel and pulley with belt-drive; this pulley can be mounted directly on the motor spindle. In “junior” models, fixed speed, shaded-pole induction motors are usual; “senior” models often incorporate small H.P. variable-speed (sewing-machine) motors, with carbon brushes, control being by either a simple rotary rheostat or a solid state circuit. The motors, control switches and mains input socket are housed in a metal or plastic enclosure, although some junior models have used a transparent plastic cake-cover.
The support column for the collecting sphere can be a simple PVC plastic rod or acrylic tube or a pair of acrylic strips with separators. In some models the belt is enclosed within a plastic pipe with “windows” along its length. Not all generators have means of adjusting the separation of the upper and lower rollers i.e. the belts have to be tailored for a particular machine.
Since the diameter of the collecting sphere determines the maximum p.d. (voltage) achievable, large spheres are mounted on taller columns to be more remote from the earth motor and control box.
Machines are usually supplied with a “discharger", often another, smaller, sphere mounted on a metal rod that has to be earthed to draw sparks from the collecting sphere.
Faraday’s cylinder to show electric charge resides on the outer surface of a charged hollow conductor.
Bouncing ball Suspend a conducting ball a non-conducting thread. When the ball touches the charging sphere, it will become charged and be repelled away from the sphere. If the ball is then allowed to discharge (touching an earthed surface, or leaking charge to the air) it will be attracted once more to the sphere, to be recharged ... and so the process continues.
The head of hair is another demonstration of repulsion. Real hair or shredded paper strips bunched at one end are used and provide a sensitive means of detecting charge.
The electric wind is produced by release of ions at the end of a pointed conductor and is enough to deflect a candle’s flame.
Hamilton’s mill utilizes the electric wind at the pointed ends of four arms to cause rotation about a pivot. This is similar to the action of a lightning conductor, which allows charge transfer at sharp points.
Kinetic theory model You can show random motion of metallic balls continuously affected by repulsion and loss of charge within a transparent vessel.
Neon indicator shows luminous discharge from the gaseous excitation by the high electric fields near the generator.

The purpose of this study was to identify the sources of negative attitudes in a high school environment through interviews and journal writing as a basis for qualitative data. A sample of convenience was chosen that included six students with varied characteristics of interest for the study. Students were asked to respond to journal prompts at 3-day intervals and were interviewed for 25 minutes regarding their attitude toward school. Sources identified in this study to be contributors to a negative attitude toward school are incompatible teachers and teaching style, failure to have basic needs of the students met, and the social surroundings of the school. Also studied was the extent to which culture/ethnicity and relevancy of instructional material had an effect on attitudes toward school.

While the vast majority of efforts expended by division-, union-, and conference-level ministerial associations center upon active congregational pastors, attention must also be directed toward the next generation pastoral force.
While the vast majority of efforts expended by division-, union-, and conference-level ministerial associations center upon active congregational pastors, attention must also be directed toward the next generation pastoral force. The Ministerial Association works in concert with seminaries and schools of religion and theology as well as with the General Conference Department of Education to ensure sound curriculum components and proper groundwork for classroom and field training aimed at those preparing for pastoral ministry.
The primary purpose for adequate theological education and ministerial preparation is to guarantee the unity of the church’s message and mission as it is proclaimed by those in whom the church vests ecclesiastical authority. To this end, the Ministerial Association works closely with young pastors, starting with their educational matriculation, through internship, to ordination, and beyond.
The International Board of Ministerial and Theological Education is currently revising its policy handbook. The handbook addresses issues ranging from the endorsement of faculty to expectations and core qualities of pastors-in-training.
Do you have any moon units?
Implement the teaching of at least one three unit course per year which would study both the theological understanding and effectively ministering to the primary religious group within the area.
"Our action-reflection-action model integrates content and process in an intentional student-orientated learning e xperience that creates vital ministry formation."
Churches expect exceptional leadership from their pastors to lead in the ministry and mission of their local congregation. Every time a new pastor is appointed to their church, many members hold their breath, praying that their new leader will rise up to their expectations. When ministerial interns enter their first parish, they hope that their training has prepared them for the demands they know they will face in their new appointment. | 2019-04-21T02:38:23 | https://ministerial.adventist.org/preparation |

Kirby: Squeak Squad is a platforming video game in the Kirby series developed by HAL Laboratory and Flagship and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS handheld video game console. The game was released in Japan and North America in 2006, and in Europe, Australia and in South Korea in 2007.
As in most of his games, Kirby is able to copy the abilities of certain enemies by inhaling and swallowing them. There are also interactive environments, with obstacles that are passable with copy abilities (examples include freezing water to get across with the Ice ability, or cutting down tall tufts of grass with his Sword or Cutter ability). Kirby is also able to collect and store copy abilities and items in his stomach, which is represented on the touch screen. A special power, "Bubble", can be used to create such abilities from the monsters on the screen. The player can combine certain abilities, similar to Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards; however, these are limited to only Sword, Fire, Ice, Spark, Bomb, and Wheel. Mixing abilities is achieved by dragging one ability over another with the stylus. If the two are compatible with each other, they will combine and produce a new ability (example: Fire + Sword = Fire Sword). This can only be done if the scroll (mentioned below) for a certain ability is found. However, if they are not compatible, they will combine to create a random bubble.
As another aspect of the storage and mixing ability, Kirby can acquire subparts of a bonus power item and then mix them to create that bonus item. For example, collecting three mini-Kirbys will grant the player an extra life, while collecting three small stars will generate a large star that can be used for destroying large enemies. Kirby can also store health-restoring items as well.
Returning copy abilities include Beam, Bomb, Cupid, Cutter, Fighter, Fire, Hammer, Hi-Jump, Ice, Laser, Magic, Ninja, Parasol, Sleep, Spark, Sword, Throw, Tornado, U.F.O., and Wheel. New abilities are Animal, Bubble, Ghost, Metal, and Triple Star. Many of the copy abilities feature multiple attacks, a recurring trend also seen in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror.
A new concept to Kirby games introduced in this game are the Copy Scrolls, which power up any power that Kirby has when chosen. Examples include Hammer growing to nearly double its normal size if charged up, Tornado and Wheel taking the elemental properties of the terrain they pass over, and Spark building up energy that can be released in a similar fashion to the way the Plasma ability from Kirby Super Star worked.
Each level contains one or more treasure chests (usually each level contains two small red chests and a large blue chest, although boss levels only contain one big blue chest), with the ultimate goal of the game to collect all the chests; the chests include keys needed to unlock secret levels and worlds, the ability to change Kirby's color, portions of a jigsaw puzzle picture, and more additional game content; these are awarded when the player successfully completes the level with that chest. The player will need to make sure they have enough space in Kirby's stomach to store the chests, removing unneeded items or combining similar items to make space. The larger chests are generally more difficult to obtain, and require Kirby to face a member of the Squeak Squad in a mini-challenge of sorts. If the opponent gets the chest, they will attempt to escape into their own small hideout, but if the player is fast enough, they can follow them into this hideout and attempt to beat them and retrieve the chest. If the player fails to obtain any chests, they are free to go back to any previously completed level to try to retrieve the chest again; chests already recovered can be collected again, but it will contain an item in a bubble. Only five items can be stored at a time.
The game supports multi-card multiplayer and single-card download play for three special mini-games based on the Squeak Squad.
"Early afternoon in Dream Land... It's so peaceful that even the clouds are drowsy. And now it's Kirby's favorite time of the day: snack time! Today's yummy snack is a sweet, fluffy slice of strawberry shortcake! Time to dig in... WHOA! The cake Kirby was about to eat has suddenly vanished! That scrumptious, berry-topped slice of mouth-watering goodness... No doubt about it! This must be the work of that greedy King Dedede! Well, there's no time to waste! Gotta get that cake back! And that's how Kirby's latest fantastic adventure begins..."
At the end of World 1, (after defeating an innocent King Dedede), Kirby finds out that the Squeaks - an infamous group of treasure-thieving mice - are the ones behind the robbery. Kirby follows the thieves on a journey that takes him all over Dream Land. At the end of World 6, a battle ensues between Kirby and the leader of the Squeaks, Daroach. Kirby wins the battle, and is about to get the treasure chest supposedly containing his cake when Meta Knight swoops in and snatches the chest away. Kirby chases Meta Knight to the end of World 7, where a duel between the two rivals ensues. Meta Knight is defeated and gives up the treasure chest, which Kirby is about to open when the Squeaks fly in and grab it from him. Daroach opens it, but the chest does not contain Kirby's cake, but dark-colored cloud that ensnares Daroach and flies off into outer space. Kirby follows, eventually encountering and fighting Daroach, now aptly named Dark Daroach, for the second time at the end of World 8. Once beaten, the darkness lets go of the Squeak leader and floats away in the form of a small, black-colored star. Kirby follows the star; it eventually transforms into its true form - Dark Nebula. It is revealed that Meta Knight was only trying to keep Kirby or anyone else from opening the chest and releasing Dark Nebula. Kirby defeats it and heads back to Dream Land, while still wondering where his cake went to. After the credits, Kirby’s cake has been put in a bubble following behind him as he flies off. It turns out the Squeaks then send him back his cake as an apology for the trouble they caused. A short while later, Kirby receives his cake, making him happy at last as he begins to eat it.
Kirby's Squeak Squad received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of three eights and one seven for a total of 31 out of 40.
Criticisms concerned the lack of originality in the title when compared to the previous Kirby game on the Nintendo DS, Kirby: Canvas Curse. Television show X-Play criticized the game for weak minigames and unnecessary use of the touchscreen. The British Official Nintendo Magazine gave the game, on its European release, a score of 70%. Even though reviews were mixed, Kirby: Squeak Squad managed to sell over 1.7 million copies, with one million copies sold in Japan alone.
The game was later released on the Wii U Virtual Console service in Europe on June 25, 2015; in North America on July 30, 2015; and in Japan on September 9, 2015.

If you’ve surveyed the internet, you’ll have probably come across a million pre workouts and energy drinks designed to help men pump up their muscles and get massive in the gym.
You may also have sifted your way through these and come across a handful of sister products that mimic their formulation but say ‘for women’ on the tub instead of ‘for men’.
The market is crowded with cheap products like this. If you’ve done your research you may even have read of the dangers some pre workout supplements can present.
More often than not they contain a big dose of low-cost stimulants, meaning you get a poorly made supplement, a supplement that may offer some kind of energy spike to begin with, but most likely comes with a devasting crash afterwards!
Not to mention the fact that many of these pre-workouts use Creatine, this is the ingredient that makes your muscles retain water in order to make them appear bulkier than normal.
Not good if you’re a woman!
What makes Powher the best pre workout for women?
One that will use the very best ingredients to help you speed up fat loss without the nasty side effects caused by cheap stimulants.
Powher is a premium workout supplement designed from the ground up to work in tandem with the specific physical needs of women!
In particular Powher uses cutting edge ingredients like our bespoke formulation utilizes a caffeine booster called Enxtra. Enxtra blends together three natural ingredients that work alongside caffeine to amplify its effect.
As a result Powher is able to use less caffeine than its competitors in order to eliminate your chances of getting side effects. The overall result is a low caffeine pre workout that delivers vastly superior results to the majority of high stimulant options out there.
Powerful energy to support longer, more intense workouts.
Australian research has shown that doing short bursts of intense exercise with small breaks in between is the best way to burn fat fast.
The problem for most of us however is that each day is different and we’re always asking ourselves the same question; how do you find the motivation to exercise?
Powher has been designed to support your weight loss journey in and out of the gym by providing your body with the clean energy it needs to see results. Our stable release system also means that Powher is the perfect ally if you’re into almost any type of endurance cardio.
This includes; Swimming, cycling, resistance training, cross-fit and even marathon running too.
The Powher pre workout formula uses Rednite, a derivative of Beetroot with 10 times the antioxidants. Rednite has been shown to reduce the body’s natural tendency to fatigue as well as elevate the power of the muscles right the way through to the end of a training session.
On top of this there’s also a healthy dose of L-Citruline malate, this amino acid can is known to support endurance and decrease muscle soreness. One study found it increased energy production by up to 20%.
The brain is a powerful tool in your quest to achieve your ideal figure. Now, you might be trying to nail your PB on the road or perhaps you’re mind managing your core through that killer ab workout.
Quite often when it comes to pushing yourself to train harder your mind plays tricks on you and deceives you into thinking you can’t go heavier with your squats or run yourself through the pain barrier.
Powher’s unique system harnesses cutting edge ingredients to help you be more motivated and focussed during your training sessions. This new pre workout uses patented ingredients like Enxtra to help improve mental alertness as well Oxyjun which can help increase power to the lower limbs.
Powher is designed to help you produce incremental gains so you can steadily turn your body into a fat burning machine. This doesn’t mean blowing your back out by going nuts with super heavy deadlifts. Instead it is about overcoming reasonable mental barriers to allow you tone up and shed fat safely.
If you’re a gym bunny the odds are you’ve read about the negative effects of caffeine or at least know some of the side effects of coffee in females. The fact is that overdosing on this well-known stimulant can cause symptoms such as jitters and a racing heart. Taking too much can impact on a whole range of things, including skin health and even levels of anxiety and depression.
Powher enables you to ditch the caffeine pills by including the stim free alternative EnXtra.
This pioneering ingredient offers a sustained release of energy over a 4 to 5 hour period, this ensures that you get all the benefits associated with caffeine but without any of the negative, long term effects.
A new pre workout energy drink that has been carefully formulated to help women sculpt their body without looking bulky or feeling unwell.
Mix 1x 10g scoop of Powher with 250ml of water.
Consume 30 minutes prior to your workout.
Mix 1x 10g scoop of Powher with 200ml of water.
How do the best rehydration drinks work?
The signs and symptoms of dehydration are all too common for those performing intense exercise. You might be asking, what is the recommended water intake for athletes? Well opinion is divided on that.
depletion. Fuelling your body with minerals and electrolytes is a great tip to stay hydrated and especially crucial if you are looking to improve your stamina during endurance sports.
Powher utilizes Coconut Water Powder. This natural ingredient is rich in potassium an and has been heralded for its weight loss benefits. It has also been shown to improve the balance of fluids in your body, with some studies arguing that it provides better hydration benefits than water and high electrolyte drinks.
Coconut water has also been publicized as a healthy alternative to branded sports drinks due to its low sugar content. | 2019-04-25T10:04:00 | https://powherofficial.com/introducing-a-new-pre-workout-for-women/ |
Christian: Jesus was both; cursed on earth and blessed in Heaven.
Muslim: The apologists are willing to stoop to new lows to avoid a disparity. It’s shocking that they’re willing to call their presumed God and savior “Cursed” while the Bible says it’s Satan who’s the cursed one (Genesis 3:14).
Christian: Guilt is not passed on but consequences are.
Muslim: God only punishes those who are transgressors and disbelievers. In contrast to the Bible, God does not collectively punish in the Quran.
Muslim: People before Jesus went to Heaven (2 Kings 2:11) Verses No one will go to Heaven unless they accept Jesus (John 10:9, 14:6).
Christian: The Bible confirms that previous prophets believed in God (James 2:23), which is the same as believing in Jesus.
Muslim: According to Paul, believing in Jesus was not enough; one had to accept the supposed blood sacrifice of Jesus (Romans 5:9) which was impossible for previous people to postulate because Jesus had not yet come to earth.
Muslim: The Holy Qur’an displays a fair system of salvation, which gives accountability to past and future creations of God.
Like all humans all over the world , we desire Love , it is what makes us complete . Some are even willing to overlook Truth in order to attain Love .
In Islam , you don’t have to make any sacrifices , you can have both Truth and Love in God together .
First we must know what True Love is . True Love is a two way street . This means we take Love as well as we give Love .
Muslims love Jesus more than Christians according to the Meaning of True Love . This is because if you Love someone , you would care for them .
There is doubt within the Gospel as to whether or not Jesus died on the cross , with some evidence from scholars that perhaps Jesus did not die .
This should make the Christians happy that Jesus was Saved instead of insisting he was put through a horrifying long painful death .
Instead , the Christians ventilate that Jesus suffered and bled and was filled with pain and anguish .
Is it Love to insist this happened to someone you love even though some evidence suggests it may not have happened ? Of course not , this is the farthest thing from Love.
If someone you Love was kidnapped , and there was some evidence the one you love is safe, would you insist they are not safe?
To Love is to Share , another way Muslims Love Jesus more than the Christians is that we do not pass our sins to Jesus , we take responsibility for our own sins . We believe Jesus was sent by God to assist Israel return to the Straight path , Jesus never claimed he was sent to ((consume everyone’s sins)) , but instead to preach (which he did for over 30 years before returning to God) the good news of Peace .
If you Love your neighbor , would you take your garbage and put it at your neighbors door ? Absolutely not , you would take responsibility for your own garbage .
Christians in the scope of the big picture, are uncaring of Jesus , a bully to Jesus .
This is not to suggest that our Creator , the Father of us all , is ungiving , for the fact is , that God does give Love.
Thus showing how the God of Islam which is the same God of Abraham , Moses and Jesus , is in fact a God of Love .
This is not a attack on either Faith , it only rebukes the claims by Jews who say ‘only the children of Israel are the chosen people’ or the Christians who say ‘all non-Christians are demons’ This verse is only explaining that we are all from God and God loves us all .
In conclusion , there are many more examples but this is to demonstrate that True Love is both equally given as well as taken . Let us love each other, stand together as partners , praying to God and enjoying the Love and guidance manifested in the Holy Qur’an.
3) By Historical and Technical Accounts, the Quran Has More than 70% Verifiable Accuracy than the Bible, Restoring the Bible in More than 200 Ways.
5) Islam Unifies Works and Faith in a Spiritual Way to Bring Tranquility to Your Life. | 2019-04-20T20:17:43 | http://christianterrorism.com/defeating-christian-terrorism/killing-for-jesus/17/ |

I love TV adverts. There I’ve said it.
I do. I know that might sound totally crazy a nerd type of thing. To my family, I am crazy, cause we fight for the remote all the time and I moan when it gets to an ad break and they immediately flip to another channel. No. They can’t watch any advert on TV, they refuse to. The worst is when I have seen part of one and they quickly flip to another channel and I don’t get to see the end of the advert. It’s like missing the end of a story!
So why do I like something that others hate so much? I don’t know, I just know I do and I’m not going to apologize for my craziness or nerdy-ness. | 2019-04-25T06:34:17 | https://painting-mom.com/tag/adverts/ |
Aurora Borealis – October 6, 2015 – Planetary Alignment!
I woke up early to photograph a cool planetary alignment of Venus, Mars, and Jupiter with a quarter moon. I lucked out because the aurora was still going strong at 4:30 am! We were also fortunate enough to have clear skies, something that was not too common last autumn.
I had to wait about an hour for the planets to rise high enough above the horizon.
Venus rises above the trees.
Twilight started to take the sky, but not before we got a pretty cool view of 3 planets and our moon!
The following evening we were greeted by the northern lights once again. It was a short-lived, but still awesome display! | 2019-04-26T04:34:47 | https://lwpetersen.com/photo-blog/aurora-borealis-october-6-2015/ |

For the seventh year in a row, I am publishing an account of my top 10 best and worst sports moments of the past year. (click here for 2009-2014 editions). Keep in mind that these are given from a purely subjective viewpoint. When I say “best/worst moments” I’m not talking about great or horrible sporting events. I’m talking about moments that affected me the most positively or negatively. Overall, this sports year got off to a strong start for me but ended with a very disappointing fall. As a result, you will see that most of my favorite moments of the year occurred during the first half of 2015, while most of the worst occurred in the latter part of the calendar year. Without further ado, here are my best and worst sports moments for the year 2015.
2. New England Patriots win Super Bowl in dramatic fashion (February 2, 2015)- The Patriots have been my favorite pro football teams ever since I was six years old and applied my affinity for a WCW tag team to my sporting interests. The New England franchise was absolutely terrible at the time but 25 years later they have become one of the great dynasties in sports history. This wasn’t my favorite of the Pats four super bowl victories—that would have to be me their first one in 2002. However, this would be a close second given the 10-year hiatus between championships and the unbelievable way in which they were able to close this one out with Butler’s interception on the goal line.
3. Georgia State upsets Baylor in first round of NCAA Tournament (March 19, 2015)- On the face of it, Georgia State’s win over Baylor doesn’t rank as big of an upset as several that have occurred in recent NCAA tournaments. In fact, there have been three 15 seeds to beat 2 seeds in the past four years and this was only a 14 seed over a 3. Baylor is also not a traditional powerhouse and has struggled in the early rounds of the Big Dance before. However, the way this upset transpired was what made it truly memorable. The Panthers were all but out of the game trailing by 12 points with only 2:54 to go in the second half. However, the coach’s son and future NBA draftee, R.J. Hunter, led a furious rally that culminated with him hitting a three-pointer with 2.8 seconds left to beat the Bears 57-56. The best part of the entire sequence was Coach/Father Ron Hunter falling out of his chair in celebration after tearing his Achilles tendon the conference championship celebration just a few days before. Hunter then proceeded to roll around in his medically prescribed scooter to celebrate. March Madness at its finest!
4. American Pharoah wins first-ever Grand Slam of Horse Racing (October 31, 2015)– When the 2015 triple crown campaign began, American Pharoah was not my favorite horse in the field by a long shot. I’ve never been a huge fan the horse’s trainer Bob Baffert fan, and I thought even less of its owner Ahmed Zayat. However, by the time I arrived in Churchill Downs in June for a Kentucky wedding weekend I was buying American Pharoah championship memorabilia left and right. My affection for this horse grew even greater when I got the chance to witness his final race on Halloween at Keeneland in the Breeder’s Cup Classic. That was quite possibly the most historic sporting event I’ve ever attended and this was quite possibly the greatest racehorse of my lifetime.
5. Golden State Warriors win NBA Championship (June 16, 2015)- The Warriors haven’t historically been one of my two or three favorite teams in the NBA, but I have, like most of America, become particularly fond of this likable squad of undersized shooters. I had the opportunity to see Stephen Curry play in-person four times during his college career and like most scouts I thought he’d make a decent pro, but nothing spectacular. Instead, Curry has become the best player in the league, and this past June, he led these overachieving Warriors to an NBA Championship while playing an exciting, old-school, and high-scoring brand of basketball.
6. Kansas City Royals win World Series Title (November 1, 2015)– The Royals joined the Warriors as the darlings of professional sports this season when they also utilized a “team first” philosophy to win a world championship in dramatic fashion. This championship was particularly satisfying because of the heartbreaking manner in which the Royals lost last year’s World Series to the Giants (last year’s worst moment # 5).
7. Michigan State football knocks off defending national champion Ohio State (November 21, 2015)- Despite my issues with the way this years’ college football season played out (see worst moments of 2015 below), my # 1 goal of the season was to have Ohio State not repeat as champion. That was fortunately accomplished thanks to a thrilling road upset by my favorite team in this year’s college football playoff, the Spartans of Michigan State.
8. Great Britain wins first Davis Cup since 1936 (November 29, 2015)- Andy Murray became my favorite athlete in the current sports world when he ended the great British Wimbledon drought in 2013. Murray added to his incredible tennis legacy this year by ending another long British drought and leading the Brits to the Davis Cup title over Belgium.
9. U.S. Women’s Soccer win World Cup Championship (July 5, 2015)- Hard to believe that this squad hadn’t won the World Cup since their dramatic 1999 victory over China in the Rose Bowl, but their drought ended in dominating fashion over Japan this summer.
10. Houston Cougars football upsets Florida State in Peach Bowl (December 31, 2015)– Talk about up to the minute updates, as I am writing this blog entry, a sports moment has emerged that warrants inclusion on this list. I absolutely love when “Group of Five” powers (formerly called non-BCS teams) knock off major powers in the big bowl games. These “Group of Five” teams have now gone to 2-0 in the Playoff era as the Cougars just knocked off the Noles of Florida State 38-24. If Clemson falters in the playoff, then I fully expect to rank Houston as the # 1 team in the country in my final CFRA ballot of the season.
1. Wisconsin basketball beats Kentucky in NCAA Final Four (April 4, 2015)- A Kentucky Final Four loss is bad enough but when it derails a historic 38-0 season then that moment becomes the worst of my sports year. I thought all year my Cats would lose at some point, so I was hoping it would happen before the start of the NCAA Tournament. Unfortunately, it didn’t and the overwhelming pressure of completing an undefeated season ended up being too much for me (sorry, William Shanahan), Big Blue Nation, and Calipari’s young squad, as the Cats fell to the Badgers on 71-64.
2. Ohio State football wins first National Championship of Playoff Era (January 12, 2015)- I’ve never been a big Ohio State fan, but I certainly don’t hate them as much as entities like Clemson, Duke, and ISIS. Nevertheless, their national championship last year was particularly bothersome for me because they had no business qualifying for the playoffs in the first place (see last year’s worst moment # 2). Both Big 12 co-champs, TCU and Baylor, were more deserving of a playoff bid, but the committee proved to have an inherent bias towards traditional powerhouses and selected the Buckeyes as the # 4 seed in the playoff. Then Ohio State beat my two favorite perennial powerhouses, Alabama and Oregon, to claim the first-ever national championship in the College Football Playoff era.
3. Holocaust Saturday I (November 7, 2015)- It seemed like almost every College Football Saturday this past fall every team I cheered for found a way to lose a game. The first two Saturdays in November, however, stand out as being particularly bad which is they are listed as # 3 and 4 on this list. On this first “Holocaust Saturday” of November 7 2015, Ole Miss saw its SEC title hopes dashed by a miraculous Arkansas 4th and long conversion in overtime. South Carolina fumbled away their hopes of bowl eligibility on the final drive against Tennessee. East Carolina also saw their bowl hopes dashed by South Florida. Michigan State, my favorite of the unbeatens at that time, choked away a big 4th quarter lead against Nebraska thanks to a controversial catch from a receiver who came in from out of bounds. Vanderbilt blew a golden opportunity to pull off the upset of the year when they lost to Florida on a field goal with 2:22 to play. Kentucky fell to Georgia. TCU had its national championship hopes dashed with a blowout loss to Oklahoma State. Florida State blew a chance to derail Clemson’s playoff hopes and undefeated season. That’s what you call a bad day in sports!
5. Clemson football completes undefeated regular season (December 5, 2015)- As most of you know, Clemson football and Duke basketball are my two least favorite organizational entities, sports or not, in the entire world. The fact that both of them may soon hold the national championships in their respective sports at the same time is more repulsive to me than being put inside a Human Centipede. I actually picked the Tigers of Clemson to qualify for the College Football Playoff in the preseason so I’m not surprised by this development. The Tigers had their typically easy schedule where all of their tough games fell at home. Despite that, they needed the worst offsides call in the history of football to preserve their win over ACC Title Game win over North Carolina.
6. Steve Spurrier retires from South Carolina football (October 12, 2015)-The next two entries on this list can be grouped together and titled “The demise of South Carolina football”. Other than my alma mater, Wake Forest, the Gamecocks are my favorite college football program. And not only did they have a shockingly bad 3-9 season this year, but they also had one of the most disappointing coaching transitions of all-time. It all began when Hall of Fame coach Steve Spurrier decided to retire midseason in order to avoid his first losing season in the sport since 1987. Spurrier was not only the greatest coach in South Carolina history but also one of the most charismatic figures in the sport. College football is in a worse place without him and South Carolina is undoubtedly in a worse place without him (see below).
7. South Carolina football hires Will Muschamp (December 6, 2015)- So who did South Carolina choose to replace possibly the greatest football coach of all-time with? The answer is Will Muschamp, a man that was fired at his only former employer, Florida, which is a much easier place to win than Columbia. Spurrier won a national championship at Florida but couldn’t even win an SEC title at South Carolina. What do you think is going to happen when a guy that couldn’t win at Florida comes to Columbia? A lot of people are high on his early recruiting efforts, but as a Wake Forest fan who tried to be optimistic when the Deacs hired the lowly Jeff Bzdelik to take over their basketball program in 2010, I refuse to support another clearly bad hire.
8. Dustin Johnson chokes away another major championship at golf’s U.S. Open (June 21, 2015)- My favorite current golfer just can’t seem to get over the hump to win a major championship. His latest disappointment came at the 72nd hole of his year’s U.S. Open Chambers Bay when Johnson had a 12-foot eagle putt to win the championship over Jordan Spieth. Instead of sinking it, Johnson missed it badly and then missed a 5-foot birdie putt which would have forced a compelling 18-hole playoff. I’m hoping Johnson ends up like Michelson and is able to finally get the major championship monkey off his back, but after this many heartbreaking losses, who knows if he’s run out of chances.
9. The “Streak of the Deac” ends in College Baseball with Virginia’s national championship (June 25, 2015)- One of my favorite sports trivia questions has always been who is the only ACC team to win a baseball national championship? The answer to the question was shockingly Wake Forest– until Virginia became the first ACC squad since the 1955 Demon Deacons to be crowned as champions this past summer. Don’t get me wrong– I would rather have the Cavs win the title as opposed to several other less-likable ACC powerhouses such as: North Carolina Clemson, Florida State, or Miami. However, the heartbreak here lines in having one of Wake Forest’s last great claims to athletic fame come to an end.
10. Wake Forest soccer loses in Elite 8 of NCAA tournament (December 5, 2015)- The once proud Demon Deacon athletic program has truly collapsed in the past few years. The football program has floundered and failed to produce a winning season since 2008. The basketball team suffered through the Bzdelik years and is still trying to find its identity with Danny Manning. Even the three-time national champion women’s field hockey has come across some relatively hard times recently. That is why it was certainly refreshing this fall for the men’s soccer program to rise to national prominence and obtain the # 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. Nevertheless, the Deacs fell to eventual national champion Stanford 2-1 in heartbreaking fashion, falling just short of the College Cup in Kansas City. | 2019-04-26T17:05:22 | https://sportsentiment.com/2015/12/31/bestworst-sports-moments-of-2015/ |
