Lone Survivor Theatrical Review
A startling true story reaches theaters this weekend and it's very realistic. Lone Survivor takes the viewer on an 'edge of your seat' trip into Afghanistan with a Navy Seals squad. It's not a documentary, but a gut wrenching drama that shows the brutal fighting that goes on in a country in turmoil. Extremely well acted, directed and with cringing cinematography the film's a shocking war on terror story. If you can take a lot of nervous tension and combat violence, put yourself in a seat at a local theater for this aggressive true story.
The movie opens with Navy Seals training and how tough a candidate has to be to survive boot camp. You can see the strain on their faces and the despair of the dropouts who have to lay their helmets in a row with others when they fail. Only the cream of the crop survives to become a Navy Seal.
The story shifts to Bognam Air Base in Afghanistan where a company of Navy personal is setting up Operation Red Wing with a mission to take out al-Qaeda Taliban leader Ahmad Shahd. The Navy Seals are itching to get into this fight, especially since Shahd is responsible for killing 20 U.S. Marines a week earlier. The attack forces are broken into squads and airlifted to several drop points deep within Taliban territory.
Spartan 01 squad consisting of Lt. Michael Murphy (Taylor Kitsch) a sniper, Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Marcus Luttrell (Mark Wahlberg) a sniper, Sonar Technician 2nd Class Matt "Axe" Axelson (Ben Foster) and Radio Operator Danny Dietz (Emile Hirsch). Safely dropped onto a good observation point high on the side of a mountain, the group lay in waiting for Shahd to make an appearance in the small shanty hut village far below.
When the squad gets discovered by some goat herders they have to make a decision on whether they should kill them, tie them up or just let them go hoping they will not warn the occupants of the village below. Writer and director Peter Berg sets up the situation very nicely than pulls the chain that causes all hell to break loose. Using facts from the New York Times best selling true story, he takes the audience into the midst of a firefight between a throng of Taliban soldiers against just four Navy Seals.
From the moment the first shot is fired to the gut wrenching final chapter its non-stop mayhem. Excellent cinematography, special effects sound, choreography and multiple cameras create a blood bath. The standoff by the brave Navy Seals, with their backs to the wall, shows their relentless determination to stand their ground against the hoard of Taliban. Shot on the side of a mountain, director Berg perilously takes his cameras in close on some of the most dangerous ledges to get just the right angles for realism.
His actors are magnificent working their characters as if they have gone through Navy Seal boot camp themselves. Leading the squad as Lt. Michael Murphy, Taylor Kitsch makes his character exude bravery. His main weapon is a sniper rifle. He's the main contact with the mission leader Lieutenant Commander Erik S. Kristensen (Eric Bana) who runs Operation Red Wing base headquarters. His second in squad command and right hand man Marcus Luttrell played by Mark Wahlberg letting loose with the tough persona and attitude we saw in The Fighter. He also carries a sniper rifle and his duty is to take out Shahd if given the order to do so. The other two members of the squad are characterized aptly by Emile Hirsch communications experts Danny Dietz and Ben Foster as Matt Axelson. Both are up for the battle, especially Axelson who fights like a cornered wolf never backing down no matter how much hot led has penetrated his body.
With a strong cast showing realistic characters, fine direction by Peter Berg (Battleship, Hancock, The Kingdom), an excellent crew and a heartrending true story provides one of the best films for 2013. Lone Survivor has all the elements, but is not perfect. Most people will not know of this mission and its results, so why announce in the title that there is one survivor? Better still, why show the survivor in the very beginning so they know which one survives? Using the unknown would have had a greater impact on the viewer in my opinion.
Lone Survivor has been rated R by the MPAA for strong bloody war violence and pervasive language. Be cautious when deciding to allow immature children see the film as there are some very shocking realistic scenes of killing.
FINAL ANALYSIS: An exceptional film that shows the sacrifice, teamwork, heroism and brotherhood of our men in combat. (A-)

Big brand precision watches are made to last. Designed and built with excellence and endurance in mind, certain watches can give you a great return on investment. That is, if you know which models to invest in. Our watch expert Berry Harleman shares five watches that are likely to increase in value over time.
Submariners from just two or three years ago already sell for more than the original price and with time this will only increase. The Submariner was the first Rolex diving watch; it's watertight up to 300 metres. It was originally produced in 1953 and today the new models are staying true to the original. Because of their sleek, timeless appearance and rugged durability, they are a popular watch for everyday wear and are a stable investment. The Submariner is easily the most popular and sought-after Rolex watch and therefore will continue to increase in value over time.
Tudor is not one of the most well-known brands out on the market, but it's the sister company of the watch giant Rolex. Tudor is becoming more and more popular though and the Black Bay watch is one of the reasons for this. The watch is a great mix between vintage and contemporary watch making. The 60-year-old diving watch was updated in 2016 with a mechanical movement manufactured by the brand itself. The Black Bay costs about half the price of the Rolex Submariner, and is therefore an affordable way to start investing in watches. Because of it's increasing popularity, the Tudor Heritage Black Bay is sure to increase in value.
Along with the Submariner, the Explorer is another good Rolex investment option. The watch, originally released in 1963, was the first one to reach the peak of the Mount Everest. The 2016 model is one of the best so far, with its black dial, filled with luminescent material to give the markers and hands a lasting blue glow. This watch is definitely not cheap, but it will increase in value over time and is worth the investment.
The Omega Seamaster 300 has become an iconic watch. It offers cutting-edge technology and great detailed features, such as a metal-injected ceramic bezel and glass case back so you can see the co-axial movement. The fact that it's one of the best-looking Omegas comes from selecting the best elements from previous Seamasters and combining them into the ultimate functional and stylish timepiece. This model is one of the best watches to buy right now, since it is increasing in retail value faster than the usual watch.
Over the years, TAG Heuer became so closely associated with motorsports that the names became synonymous. The motorsport watch Carrera was launched in 1963. With is precise and easy to use chronograph, it has become a popular racing piece. But as a wristwatch for everyday use, it looks stylish with its sport look and multiple colours to choose from. The Carrera typically costs only half the price of a Rolex, but will continue to increase in value, which is why it's a good starter investment.
Have we sparked your interest to invest in a watch? Start investing right away; have a look at our weekly Watches auctions. And who knows, soon you might be wearing a beautiful timepiece that is increasing in value with every second. Or if you're ready to cash in on an investment and sell a vintage watch online, our watch experts would be happy to help. It's easy, quick and you can reach an audience of over 14 million people this month! Simply become a seller by registering and start offering up your watch for auction today!

Tobi Sobowale is a multidisciplinary artist — writer, portrait photographer and architectural designer — with a passion for understanding how architectural design can transform communities and benefit those who interact with it. She is passionate about opportunities to explore ways in having tangible impact in shaping cultures and communities through the built environment. As an alumni of Blueprint for All (formerly The Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust) and member of the BLM_Arch@MSA Team, Tobi is an advocate for diversity and inclusion in the architecture profession. She has spoken for events such as the Diversity in Architecture Lecture Series by Loughborough School of Architecture and RIBA North East JEDI talks, to share her experience. An evolving writer, Tobi has written for the Architects Journal and Involved Magazine.
This design thesis is an exploratory project that looks at poetry as an aesthetic practice and how it can be used to amplify the voices of people and place. It asks 'How can poetry and the use of non-traditional methods in architecture, be used to realise an alternative method of community engagement and participation, where the voice of people and spaces are placed at the forefront of the conversation?'
The body of work is presented through a film titled 'Voices of the Floop: an unconventional play'. It is a work of fiction inspired by the users of the Fallowfield Loop in Manchester. Using poetry, sound and design to initiate a conversation between self and space, where the characters are encouraged to use senses other than sight to engage with their context. Helping the wider audience to look beyond traditional notions, and the preconceptions that we form on people and places.

Kovar® alloy is an iron-nickel-cobalt alloy. Kovar® has been used for making hermetic seals with ceramic materials and glass. Kovar® has been used in power tube, microwave tubes, diodes and transistors. Available forms are seamless pipe, welded pipe, seamless tube, welded tube, bar, wire, sheet, plate, forgings, pipe fittings and flanges.
Nickel alloys well with most metals including titanium, aluminum, and iron. Many popular products and industries, including aerospace, transportation, chemical processing, and power generation, rely on nickel alloys for strength and value.
Both a moderate hardness rubber or a poly lined (UHMW) pipe can compete with hardened and lined systems in applications of low stress, such as encou ntered in chutes and slurry systems having small (pea sized) minerals under low pressure. For applications of high stress, materials capable of withstanding high crushing forces are required.
Transverse or Longitudinal Tension Test and Flattening Test, Hardness Test, or Bend Test: For material heat treated in a batch-type furnace, tests shall be made on 5% of the pipe from each treated lot. For small lots, at least one pipe shall be tested.
Invar consisting of 64 percent iron and 36 percent nickel called as Invar 36 or Nilo 36; SuperInvar consisting of 63 % iron, 32 % nickel, 5 % cobalt; Kovar consisting of 54 % Iron, 29 % Nickel and 17 % cobalt. While using the word Invar refers to Invar 36 that is the most commonly used FeNi alloy in the opto –mechanical applications.
Super alloy KOVAR is an iron-based alloy with nickel and cobalt. The chemical composition is well controlled so as to provide low, uniform, thermal expansion property for this alloy. The following sections will discuss in detail about super alloy KOVAR.
For material heat treated by the continuous process, tests shall be made on a sufficient number of pipe to constitute 5% of the lot, but in no case less than 2 pipe. Notes for Hardness Test: P91 shall not have a hardness not exceeding 250 HB/265 HV [25HRC].
mum wall seamless ferritic alloy-steel pipe intended for high-temperature service. Pipe ordered to this specification shall be suitable for bending, flanging (vanstoning), and similar forming operations, and for fusion welding. Selec-tion will depend upon design, service conditions, mechani-cal properties, and high-temperature characteristics.
Hardness requirements should state the hardness test required, (Rockwell, Brinell, etc.), and range. For tool steels, a three-point hardness range is desirable, such as "Rockwell C 60-62." Five to six points should be allowed on hardness below Rockwell C 50.

The Making of Erika, a Short Film
I was visiting my grandmother, Sidika, in Bosnia last summer where she approached me with a piece of paper. She had gotten a friend to type up her experiences in childhood during WW2. During the war her house had been occupied by the Germans — an officer and his family lived on the second floor of her home. The Nazis had occupied Bosnia for a while, so it wasn't uncommon for them to bring their families with them. Sidika quickly befriended the officer's German daughter, named Erika. It was the classic tale of unlikely friendship between two opposing worlds. It was this story I knew I wanted to explore in film.
I approached my friend and long-time collaborator, Jessie Posthumus about writing a script that could capture this story. I then approached other key creatives in my program, my producers Marissa Bergougnou and Aldo Mauro, cinematographer Ben Wong, Production Designer Taylor Aymer, Sound Recordist and Designer Alana Raymond and Editor Ryan Hookway.
Once we had a creative team assembled, the easy part was pitching our film to our professors. The hard part was actually making the film. First, the film is set in Bosnia, during WW2, and the spoken language is Serbo-Croatian and German. Our biggest obstacles were financing, locations and actors. Period pieces are notorious for being very expensive, so we had to find a way to pay for the film. We decided to crowdsource, using Kickstarter, in order to fund the film. We were able to reach our goal thanks to the generous contributions from our families, friends and other supporters online.
Next, we had to find a location that could double as the Bosnian countryside, with a house grand enough to accommodate two wealthy families. We were lucky enough to film at the Black Creek Pioneer Village, where other period films have been shot before. Once we had the location, we had to find period-accurate clothing, furniture and props. This took months of research and sourcing, but eventually we were able to find pieces that both fit the time and were exciting to look at visually.
Still of the short film, Erika.
The final and most crucial step was finding actors to portray these characters. We were set on using the original languages so we tried to find actors who already spoke Serbo-Croatian and English. This proved to be very challenging, and as we were pressed for time, we ended up casting English-speaking actors who were able to learn the languages for the film. I was lucky enough to cast actors with whom I strongly connected to and which brought these characters to life in ways I couldn't have imagined possible. The two young girls who played Sidika and Erika blew me away – the natural talent and energy they brought to this film really made this story compelling and heartfelt. The film was really a labor of love. All of the departments on my team worked tirelessly to make it a reality and I am exceedingly grateful to have worked with them.
We were honored to receive eight awards at our annual Ryerson University Film Festival – including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Production Design, Best Sound Design, Best Editing, Best Cinematography and the Women in Film Award. I am very proud to have been able to tell this female-driven story, and I will continue to create films centered on young girls and women, as well as supporting fellow female filmmakers. The film industry is overwhelmingly male-dominated, but I am hoping that will change soon. Meanwhile, I focus on doing my part to increase representation and further stories that feature complex and well-rounded female characters.
Erika will be playing on August 11 as part of 9th annual Toronto Youth Shorts' Opening Night programme, Under the Surface.

G420b Here is a nice specimen of Mohawkite from Keweenaw County, Michigan. This flashy, polished nugget is an extremely rare mineral composed of Copper, Algodoite, and Domeykite. The lovely metallic color is comprised of silver with a trace of coppery gold brought out with high polish on the upper surfaces. The specimen measures 2 7/8" x 2 1/8" x just over 1" and weighs 1 pound 3.5 ounces.
Mohawkite is a rare rock consisting of mixtures of arsenic and copper, usually in a white quartz matrix. Colors range from brassy-yellow to metallic gray, and sometimes will have a blue or greenish surface tarnish. These colors come from its two main ingredients, the arsenic-rich copper minerals algodonite and domeykite. Its color may resemble pyrrhotite, but unlike pyrrhotite, mohawkite is not magnetic. Mohawkite is believed to only be found in a copper mine located on the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan, known as the Mohawk Mine.

Han YJ, Kang YH, Shivakumar SB, Bharti D, Son YB, Choi YH, Park WU, Byun JH, Rho GJ, Park BW. Stem Cells from Cryopreserved Human Dental Pulp Tissues Sequentially Differentiate into Definitive Endoderm and Hepatocyte-Like Cells in vitro. Int J Med Sci 2017; 14(13):1418-1429. doi:10.7150/ijms.22152. Available from https://www.medsci.org/v14p1418.htm
We previously described a novel tissue cryopreservation protocol to enable the safe preservation of various autologous stem cell sources. The present study characterized the stem cells derived from long-term cryopreserved dental pulp tissues (hDPSCs-cryo) and analyzed their differentiation into definitive endoderm (DE) and hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) in vitro. Human dental pulp tissues from extracted wisdom teeth were cryopreserved as per a slow freezing tissue cryopreservation protocol for at least a year. Characteristics of hDPSCs-cryo were compared to those of stem cells from fresh dental pulps (hDPSCs-fresh). hDPSCs-cryo were differentiated into DE cells in vitro with Activin A as per the Wnt3a protocol for 6 days. These cells were further differentiated into HLCs in the presence of growth factors until day 30. hDPSCs-fresh and hDPSCs-cryo displayed similar cell growth morphology, cell proliferation rates, and mesenchymal stem cell character. During differentiation into DE and HLCs in vitro, the cells flattened and became polygonal in shape, and finally adopted a hepatocyte-like shape. The differentiated DE cells at day 6 and HLCs at day 30 displayed significantly increased DE- and hepatocyte-specific markers at the mRNA and protein level, respectively. In addition, the differentiated HLCs showed detoxification and glycogen storage capacities, indicating they could share multiple functions with real hepatocytes. These data conclusively show that hPDSCs-cryo derived from long-term cryopreserved dental pulp tissues can be successfully differentiated into DE and functional hepatocytes in vitro. Thus, preservation of dental tissues could provide a valuable source of autologous stem cells for tissue engineering.

Elected government accountable to people supreme in all areas of governance except three -- land, police and public order.
The Supreme Court has handed a big victory to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in his bitter power tussle with Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal, ruling that the LG has no independent power to take decisions and is bound by the elected government's advice.
The ruling also held that the Lieutenant Governor, who is appointed by the Centre, cannot act as an "obstructionist."
The Supreme Court said that except for three issues -- public order, police and land -- the Delhi government has the power to legislate and govern on other issues.
Here are the salient points in the SC verdict.
1. LG is only an administrator.
3. But that does not mean Council of Ministers needs his concurrence or permission to take any decision.
4. Normally, LG will have to go by the "aid and advise" of the Council of Ministers headed by the CM.
5. Delhi is not a state but enjoys a special status as it has an elected govt.
6. Central government cannot be given full control over NCT.
7. Elected government accountable to people supreme in all areas of governance except three -- land, police and public order which are with the centre.
6. Legislative Assembly will have similar powers.
9. All other discordant issues such as control over officers, appointments etc will be decided by a regular bench as per this five-judge bench ruling.


The great continental ice sheets were melting very fast in the time of Glacial Lake Missoula, shedding great torrents of meltwater every summer, raising sea level an average of approximately 100 feet every 1,000 years. Meltwater swept enormous volumes of sediment just freed from the melting ice into every low place it reached. The glacial lakes got their fair share. All glacial lakes, ancient and modern, deposit distinctive sediments unlike those laid down in any other setting.
Moving glaciers grind together the rocks frozen within them, pulverizing them into powdery rock flour, which is generally very pale gray, almost white. The warmth of the long summer afternoons of the most recent ice age sent great freshets of glacial meltwater, milky white with suspended rock flour, into Glacial Lake Missoula. Rock flour settled through the murky water and deposited as a layer of pale sediment on the floor of the lake. Those pale summer layers varied in thickness from a fraction of an inch to as much as two inches or even more.
Meanwhile, the suspended rock flour enriched the lake in dissolved mineral nutrients, making an extremely fertile environment for algae and the long food chain of animals that depend on them. Algae bloomed in the sunlit shallows of summer, making a rich organic soup. Then the cooling weather of fall stopped the glacial meltwater and cut off the supply of rock flour. After the winter freeze killed summer's algae and microscopic life, their remains slowly settled into a layer of sediment dark with organic matter, the color of dark chocolate, on the lake floor. Those winter layers also range in thickness from a fraction of an inch to as much as two inches or occasionally more.
Why no fish fossils? Perhaps no fish.
Geologists call the layers of light and dark sediment laid down on the floors of glacial lakes varves. A lake's varves are its archives, a record of its summers and winters. You see the records of warm or cool summers in pale layers that are thicker or thinner than most. Find a thin streak of pale rock flour in a dark winter layer, and you see the lake's memory of a midwinter thaw.
Very small amounts of rock flour color a lake a startling greenish blue. Glacial Lake Missoula surely became a splendid and brilliant greenish blue as the last of the summer rock flour settled and the larch trees blazed yellow in the deepening chill of the coming winter. Then the lake lay dark under the gray winter sky until ice began to spread from its shores. Such a deep lake probably did not freeze over, but its open surface surely floated slabs of pack ice. Icebergs also drifted on parts of the lake. The masses of floating ice certainly stilled the waves, preventing much heavy surf along the shores.
This image gives an idea of how massive the Purcell Lobe of the Cordilleran ice sheet was at the time it flowed into what is now northernmost Idaho and dammed up Glacial Lake Missoula (visible in upper left). This view looks southeast.
Icebergs are big pieces of ice that break off the floating end of a glacier, then drift across the open water. Only the parts of Glacial Lake Missoula that submerged the lower ends of glaciers could have launched icebergs, and those places were few. Icebergs were scarce in Glacial Lake Missoula. They could have existed only when the lake was at its higher fillings, deep enough to float the lower ends of glaciers that emerged from valleys in the Mission Mountains, the Bitterroot Mountains, and possibly the Rattlesnake Mountains.
The deeper parts of glaciers commonly contain large amounts of sediment in all sizes, from silt to boulders the size of cars or larger. Icebergs drop that sediment as they drift or when they run aground and finally melt. A close group of boulders of different kinds of rocks is the characteristic signature of a grounded iceberg that melted long ago. Floating pack ice that forms as a lake freezes typically contains very little sediment, and it is small stuff—no boulders.
Icebergs could hardly run aground and stay grounded for very long during the years the lake level was rising. A few probably did while the lake was draining, but even then, the flood probably swept most of them along. So boulders that icebergs floated into places remote from their homes are rare in the valleys of western Montana. They are more common in some areas of Washington and Oregon, where icebergs rode in on the great floods, instead of out with the great emptyings.
With room to spare, two Empire State Buildings could have stood one atop the other against Glacial Lake Missoula's ice dam, which experts believe reached as high as 2,000 feet above water (and perhaps another 1,500 feet below).
It is surprising that no one has found fossils in Glacial Lake Missoula sediments—no petrified wood, no leaves, no bones. We have no tangible record of the plants and animals that lived in Glacial Lake Missoula or around its shores. But we can reasonably speculate.
The weather was very wet during the most recent ice age—plenty of rain and snow. And most geologists and biologists who have given the subject much thought agree that most of the plants that grew around Glacial Lake Missoula and most of the menagerie of animals that prowled its shores were the same species that now live in western Montana. But we have lost a few.
We can only imagine what they might have felt.
Mastodons, for example, were common during the most recent ice age, if we can judge from the abundance of their bones in river and glacial sediments elsewhere. They looked almost like modern elephants except that they were much larger and clothed in long hair. It's easy to imagine them trumpeting their greetings to the morning along the shores of Glacial Lake Missoula. Beavers the size of grizzly bears lived then. So did bison much larger and with much longer horns than those that so recently roamed in great herds across the high plains. Evidence elsewhere in the region makes it seem reasonable to imagine these creatures populating the shores of Glacial Lake Missoula, even if we do not have their bones.
It is especially surprising to find evidence of a great lake with no sign of fish, not even a few scattered scales. Why no fish fossils? Perhaps no fish. The summer murk of suspended rock flour probably made the lake a poor habitat for most of the kinds of fish native to western Montana. And the lake's sudden drainings surely flushed any fish that may have been around.
This image, combining USGS terrain data with a Landsat satellite image drape, shows the present-day area around Lake Pend Oreille in northern Idaho. This was the first area hit by floods coming from Glacial Lake Missoula, which lay just beyond the center right of this image, up the Clark Fork River.
It would be nice to know that people were around to see Glacial Lake Missoula and its humongous floods. I would like to think that those spectacles were not entirely wasted on hairy mastodons, giant beavers, oversized bison. That may not be a forlorn hope.
Archeologists have good evidence that people lived in North America before the end of the last ice age, perhaps thousands of years before. Some of them may have known the lake and watched its great floods. But the archeologists have not yet dug up any direct evidence that would place people in the Pacific Northwest during that time. Still, we can imagine them in those landscapes, witness to an enormous lake and the horrendous floods it unleashed.
The scars on the landscape tell us something of what people might have seen as Glacial Lake Missoula filled the valleys of the Clark Fork River in western Montana, then emptied in a few days as it dumped a great flood across eastern Washington and down the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean. We can only imagine what they might have felt.

INPIVX hidden service, a new way to organize ransomware attacks
A new service called Inpivx represents the evolution of the ransomware-as-a-service making it very easy for wannabe crooks to develop their malware and build a management panel.
A new Tor hidden service called Inpivx evolves the concept of the ransomware-as-a-service making it very easy for crooks without technical skills to develop their own malware and build a management panel.
Operators behind the service offer for sale the source code for the ransomware and for the management dashboard. The availability of the source code allows crooks to customize their ransomware.
Watch out, Inpivx is not a RaaS and for this reason, it does not supply hosting services.
The ransomware is written in C++ and supports almost any Windows OS version, from Windows XP through Windows 10, while the dashboard is coded in PHP.
The package goes for $500, it also includes the decryption tool, operators also provide a detailed tutorial.
"If the client has no skill, we provide a tutorial based on our own ransomware dashboard each line of code has an explanation," an Inpivx member told BleepingComputer.
The dashboard provides infection data in real time, it includes the total number of encrypted files, number of infections, the operating systems of the infected machines and their geographical distribution.
It also implements a chat that allows operators to communicate with the victims.
A specific clients section includes information on infected machines, such as the victim IDs, the operating system, the ransom price, the decryption key, and the payment status.
"Inpivx approach is highly likely to attract to the ransomware game individuals with expertise in other areas of the crime business." wrote Ionut Ilascu from BleepingComputer. "With access to the source code, they can alter the original ransomware product and create new strains that could evolve to something new by combining code from other malware."

LISTEN! Life is Calling - NEW for 2019!
Many people struggle to understand the "Why?" of Life when dealing with the challenges of aging, serious disease, and the reality of morality. Lacking a sense of meaning and purpose, the journey of Life is merely an endurance test. However, if we believe that every moment is an opportunity to contribute to Life in meaning-FULL ways, the journey of Life becomes an experience to be embraced and enjoyed. Therefore, it is imperative to remember that the world awaits what only we have to offer as unique individuals. In return, our lives are enriched beyond measure whether we have 20 years or 20 minutes remaining.
Effective Communication - NEW For 2019!
Communication is defined as the exchange of information—something we do routinely day in and day out. However, routine is not synonymous with artful or effective! Miscommunications happen in our personal and professional roles—creating confusion, conflict, and contention. So, what is the secret communicating effectively? Stop. Look. And Listen.
Boundaries are necessary behavioral constructs that allow for healthy relationships with other people, personally and professionally. We need to be aware of where we end and the other person begins. Boundaries serve to protect both persons, honoring and respecting each individual. Some boundaries are defined by legal mandates while others are defined by mutual consent, assumptions, or cultural norms. Organizations and individuals are well served if proactive education is offered to raise the awareness around the need and purpose of boundaries.
As human beings, we will experience the highs and lows of life. Often, the transitions between the peaks and valleys are difficult. It is during the times that try our souls that we realize the importance of resilience, the ability to "bounce back" from adversity. Resilience is not a trait. Rather, it is a process of adaptation that is rooted in realistic optimism—a perspective of life that allows us to discern hope, possibilities, and opportunities in the aftermath of adversity. Life can be shocking to say the very least! Instead of being shattered by the unexpected and the unwanted, we have the ability to choose a response to life. To meet the most daunting challenges of life, we gotta have bounce!
Most human beings are not fond of change, invited or not. Change disrupts our daily routines, life expectations, and our sense of certainty. Change reminds us that we are not in control! But change is a given in life. So instead of resisting change, how can we engage it? First, understand the process of change, loss, transition, grief, and mourning. Second, decide to move through the process and embrace a new way of being. And finally, develop a mindset that serves to move us through the transition. Resilience, interdependence, and meaning are invaluable resources on the transitional bridges of life.
Take a few moments to reflect on your life. When have you learned the most about yourself and about life? More than likely, it's the times of trial and tribulation that informed and influenced your journey the most. Viktor Frankl noted that it is under the white heat of suffering that life takes shape. Combining Frankl's foundational premise with the subsequent research related to resilience and the psychology of post-traumatic growth, we begin to recognize the potential afterglow of adversity. Welcome or not, adversity often serves as a segue to positive transformation.
Life: What's It All About?

Betway SA20 playing conditions announced
SourceVia UNI-India
Cape Town: Betway SA20 has confirmed exciting additions to its playing format for the inaugural season starting on Tuesday.
The six teams will play 33 matches in total, including three playoff matches that consist of two semi-finals and the final.
The additions have been included to improve the quality of the product while preserving the sanctity of the game.
In an innovative move to level the playing field, each captain can nominate 13 players to take the field before the toss. After the toss, each captain can select their final starting XI and the remainder of the players will automatically become substitute players.
Teams will be encouraged to put in dominant performances, with the winning team awarded four points and a bonus-point win generating five points. The bonus point will be awarded to a team who achieves a run rate of 1.25 times that of the opposition. In case of a no result, both teams will be awarded two points, while the losing team will not receive any points.
In addition, the rules have been adjusted: The pace of play will be protected without suspensions with captains charged with in-game penalties for slow over-rates through fielding restrictions.
There has been an amendment to the free-hit rule, a bowled dismissal can't lead to byes if the ball ricochets off the stumps.
Positive and attacking fielding will be encouraged. No runs can be taken off an intentional attempt to run out the batter if a direct hit deflects off the stumps.
There will be two strategic time-outs of 2 minutes 30 seconds in duration in each innings. The time-outs are to allow the teams to re-group tactically.
Six Powerplay overs will be implemented where only two fielders will be allowed outside the 30-yard circle.
In the event of teams finishing on equal points, the right to progress through to the final and those to play in the play-off will be determined as The team with the most number of wins; If still equal, the team with the highest number of bonus points; If still equal, the team with the highest net run rate;
If still equal, the team with the most number of wins over the other team(s) who are equal on points and have the same number of wins; If still equal, the team with the highest runs to wickets ratio throughout the tournament; If still equal, the team with the highest wickets to runs ratio throughout the tournament.
In a match declared as a No Result, run rate is not applicable.
The first semi-final will include the team finishing top of the group stages against the team finishing fourth. The second semi-final will be between the teams finishing second and third respectively. The winners of the two semi-finals will contest the final.

It was said that the Parham congregation started with a membership of 12 persons. This could be compared with the calling of the 12 disciples of Jesus. We know that Methodist work existed in Parham as early as 1763 for in that year Francis Gilbert makes reference to preaching in Parham as part of the 1763 year long crusade that he conducted.
The first Methodist chapel that was built in Parham was destroyed by fire in 1802 and all the church records were destroyed. The present chapel was rebuilt in 1809. In speaking about the building at Parham, Lanaghan gives this description: "Besides the Episcopal church, Parham boasts a very neat little chapel belonging to the Wesleyans, with a good stone mission house and a school room adjoining."
It should be noted that about that time Parham was the city. Lanaghan in speaking about Parham, makes the comment that "Parham takes its name from the title of Lord William Willoughby of Parham. In 1697, after the decease of Christopher Codrington, Esq., (the elder), Parham appears to have been the residence of the lieutenant-governor, in preference to St John's."
In 1824 the Rev Thomas and Mrs. Dorothy Jones came out of England to live in Antigua. They were stationed at Parham. While Rev. Jones did his pastoral duties, Mrs. Jones took it upon herself to teach the slaves. In 1826 while Rev. and Mrs. Jones along with other Missionaries were returning from St. Kitts (by sea), the boat, the Maria Mail Boat sank one mile off Antigua on Sandy Island. Mrs Jones was the only surviving passenger of this tragedy.
It was after the fatal tragedy in 1826 that Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thwaites would walk from their home in Willoughby Bay to Parham to carry on school until the tragic earthquake in 1843 that destroyed their house. They then moved to Parham.
The membership started to grow and as the years passed by the entire Methodist community expanded. It became necessary to have a fourth Minister to assist with the task. The Synod of 1962 agreed that renovations be done at Parham and an upstairs building should be erected on the hall to house the fourth Minister. In 1964 the Manse was dedicated and the Rev. John R. Jennings was the first to be appointed as the fourth minister.
Parham has a present membership of 132: 50 males and 82 females. Worship service is at 9:00am every Lord's Day. Prayer Meeting and Bible Study provide another opportunity for bonding and fellowship and meet on Tuesdays. The Senior Choir faithfully supports worship from week to week. There is an active Youth Fellowship whose President is Verlene Smith and Church School whose Superintendent is Paulette Isaac, who also coordinates women's work. Eugenie Joseph is the Cradle Roll Secretary. Dayton and Sharlene Samuel are officers of the Boys' Brigade.
The present pastor is the Reverend Dr Novelle C Josiah. He is ably assisted by Congregational Stewards: Sharlene Samuel, Paulette Isaac and Corey Hector; Property Stewards: Dayton Samuel and Ezzard Weston and Care Fund Stewards: Elaine Ferrance and Ann Bryan. The Standing Committees are led by: Paulette Isaac (Mission and Evangelism), Corey Hector (Organization and Education) and Sharlene Samuel (Resources and Development). Irena Frontin and Verlene Smith serve as secretaries for the Congregational Council and Pastoral Council respectively.
We are grateful for the service of our local preachers: Ezzard Weston and Sharlene Samuel; our Class Leaders and our organist Llewellyn Smith. Countless number of persons gave and continues to give dedicated service to the life and witness of the congregation, and for this we give thanks to God.

Who is David Neil? An enigmatic and ephemeral rock star from days past, who somehow slipped through time's arbitrary clutches. In 2008 Steve Kilbey and Ricky Rene Maymi were bequeathed some 16 track masters for what would later became known as "The Wilderness Years". The tracks were unfinished and in some places unusable. Kilbey and Maymi aimed to preserve the authenticity but also had to play to and around the original recordings. Some songs that lacked vocals. Kilbey sings relying on memory of his tour and friendship with David Neil plus some newly found lyric books. Other songs are various admixtures of new and old vocals and instruments as different players are blended through the weave while preserving Neil's true sound.

12/9/19: Apostasy, Blasphemy, and Hate Speech Laws in Africa
The freedoms of opinion and expression and of religion or belief are intricately intertwined—where violations occur against one, there are often violations against the other. Although these human rights are protected under articles 18 and 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), states around the world continue to pass and enforce laws that restrict both freedoms. This paper provides a survey and analysis of speech restrictions in Africa that have, or may, limit FoRB. Laws that restrict apostasy (the public renunciation of one's religion), blasphemy (the insult of a religion or religious objects or places), and hate speech (generally encompassing communication that prejudices a particular group based on race, religion, ethnicity, or other factor) all limit freedom of expression. Such laws also have unique implications for citizens' abilities to express and practice their faith. These laws are prevalent throughout Africa, where at least 9 countries have apostasy laws, at least 25 criminalize blasphemy, and at least 29 have laws against hate speech.
12/6/19: Shari'ah Criminal Law in Northern Nigeria
For 20 years, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has monitored and evaluated religious freedom conditions in Nigeria. This year also marks 20 years since Nigeria's return to democracy and the adoption of the 1999 Constitution, which outlines the federal system of government and the hybrid application of religious, customary, and civil laws. The Constitution provides that states shall have High Courts, and may also have Shari'ah and Customary courts of appeal where required. During the same time period, 12 northern Nigerian states have also re-integrated Islamic criminal law in various ways. While the Shari'ah laws are based on long-standing practices, receive widespread support from Muslims, and apply only to Muslims, state enforcement of religious laws presents serious challenges to fully respecting freedom of religion or belief.
2/15/19: Central Nigeria: Overcoming Dangerous Speech and Endemic Religious Divides
In Nigeria, a range of state and societal violations have adversely impacted religious freedom conditions in the country. As a result, since 2009, USCIRF has recommended the U.S. Department of State designate Nigeria as a "country of particular concern," or CPC. Some of the most egregious are the denials of the right to life, liberty, and the security of people on the basis of religion or belief. Divides between religious communities and the spread of dangerous speech that incites further violence often prompt or escalate these violations.
12/10/18: Limitations on Minorities' Religious Freedom in South Asia
The right to freely choose and change one's religion is protected under international law, as is the right to manifest one's beliefs through teaching those beliefs. While there is a right to propagate or proselytize, Article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) also protects individuals from coercion that would impair their freedom to choose their religion or belief.
11/26/18: A Survey of 2017-2018 Saudi Middle and High School Textbooks
This follow-on contracted study reviews 22 middle and high school textbooks published by the Saudi government for the 2017-2018 academic year, including the 12 high school books previously reviewed by USCIRF in its May 2018 Special Report.
5/17/18: Study Revealed Numerous Passages in Saudi Textbooks Advocating Intolerance and Violence
This report presents findings from a review of 12 Saudi high school textbooks for the current 2017-2018 academic school year. The books, numbering more than 2,000 pages and focusing only on religious subjects, are much more intolerant than the six religious books from 2012-2014 that were reviewed by USCIRF. Based on the books reviewed, it appears that they are even more intolerant than the 2011-2012 textbooks studied by the International Center for Religion and Diplomacy (ICRD), which identified many intolerant passages. The 2017-2018 books are more akin to Saudi textbooks from the early years of the previous decade before the Saudi government promised to reform its curricula. The issues found in the books implicated religious freedom and other human rights.
2/12/18: Inventing Extremists: The Impact of Russian Anti-Extremism Policies on Freedom of Religion or Belief
This report examines Russian anti-extremist legislation, corresponding law enforcement practices, and their effects on freedom of religion or belief from 2011 to 2017. This research is focused on how the very regulations that ostensibly protect people and organizations in Russia from religious intolerance are instead used by authorities to sanction people and organizations for activity or speech based on their religious belief or lack thereof.
9/21/17: A Right for All: Freedom of Religion or Belief in ASEAN
The report documents ASEAN's and the Member States' approaches to the freedom of religion or belief, underscores the religious freedom-related challenges in the region that transcend country borders, and emphasizes the strategic importance of robust U.S. engagement on these issues with ASEAN as a collective and the 10 individual Member States.

Edward VII described Glorious Goodwood as "a garden party with racing tacked on". It was, the King felt, such a verdant beano that in 1906, instead of turning up at the races in the traditional tails and topper, he dressed in a linen suit and a Panama hat. Goodwood has been an unbuttoned Royal Ascot ever since.
Those who think fauna is more important than flora will tell you the end-of-July meeting at Goodwood is one of the pinnacles of the English flat-racing season. The finest thoroughbreds with the fastest turn of foot compete against each other in some of the best races in the world.
. . . the racecourse is set on a spur of the Sussex Downs overlooking, in one direction, the Channel and the Isle of Wight, and in the other Chichester Cathedral. To its north are cornfields, forests and undulating hills, while at its core are the racegoers. . ."
At its core are the horses.

Sir Bernard Henry Spilsbury (* 16. Mai 1877 in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire; † 17. Dezember 1947 in London) war ein britischer Pathologe und Rechtsmediziner.

Er war an der Lösung bedeutender britischer Kriminalfälle, wie den Badewannen-Morden, dem Fall Dr. Crippen, dem Fall der Schrankkoffermorde von Brighton, dem Fall Podmore und dem Fall Vera Page beteiligt. In der Operation Mincemeat agierte er als gerichtsmedizinischer Berater.

Leben
Spilsbury studierte am Magdalen College in Oxford und dem St Mary's Hospital in London und spezialisierte sich auf die damals neue Wissenschaft der Rechtsmedizin. Bekannt wurde Spilsbury durch den Fall des Dr. Crippen im Jahre 1910, in dem er auch als Gutachter während des Strafprozesses auftrat. Er führte in seiner Laufbahn Tausende Autopsien durch, nicht nur an Mordopfern, sondern auch an hingerichteten Kriminellen. In Schottland trat er auch als Gutachter für die Verteidigung auf, wegen seines Amtes als Polizeipathologe war ihm dies in England und Wales nicht möglich.

Spilsbury wurde 1923 in den Adelsstand erhoben. Er wurde zudem Honorarpathologe des britischen Innenministeriums, lehrte Rechtsmedizin am University College Hospital der London School of Medicine for Women und dem St Thomas' Hospital. Er war Mitglied der Royal Society of Medicine und Freimaurer.

Nach dem Tod seiner beiden Söhne (durch den Bombenkrieg bzw. durch Tuberkulose), seiner Frau und seiner Schwester beging er 1947 in seinem Labor am University College in London Suizid durch Gas. Seine Leiche wurde im Golders Green Crematorium in London kremiert und die Asche auf dem Gelände des dortigen Garden of Rest verstreut.

Employers Not Allowed To Accompany Helpers To Medical Exams From 29 Aug
Doctors Will Record Helpers' Weight & Height During Medical Exams From 29 Aug
Migrant domestic workers come to Singapore to seek better work opportunities so their loved ones back home can lead better lives.
However, some may get mistreated by their employers, and the situation may go undetected until it's too late.
To provide domestic workers with a safe environment to speak up and seek help, employers will not be allowed to be present for their helpers' 6-monthly medical examination (6ME) from 29 Aug.
Doctors will also be recording helpers' weight and height, allowing them to detect signs of abuse such as significant weight loss.
New measures for medical exams will strengthen support for helpers
According to Channel NewsAsia (CNA), the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) announced that 6MEs would be conducted without the employer's presence from 29 Aug.
This will provide helpers with a safe space to speak up if they need help.
Home-based examinations will also be discontinued from 29 Aug.
These are in addition to earlier measures introduced by MOM to strengthen support for domestic workers and their well-being.
Domestic Helpers Must Be Given At Least 1 Rest Day A Month From End-2022
Doctors will record helpers' weight & height
In addition to providing helpers with a safe space, 6ME will also be enhanced to detect signs of abuse better.
Similarly, from 29 Aug, doctors will be required to record helpers' weight and height, which will be used to calculate their body-mass index (BMI).
This will allow doctors to compare against the helper's past 6ME records and detect any significant weight loss.
Doctors will also be looking out for signs of "suspicious and unexplained injuries", reports CNA.
Currently, doctors only screen for pregnancy and infectious diseases like syphilis, HIV, and tuberculosis during helpers' 6ME.
Domestic helpers don't deserve mistreatment
Doctors are to submit every helper's 6ME forms to MOM regardless of the test results.
It's heartening to know that our authorities are enhancing existing guidelines to detect domestic worker abuse cases better.
After all, these domestic helpers are here to work and don't deserve any form of mistreatment.
