I started my career in bookkeeping in 1992 as the Business Manager for Canada's largest privately owned summer camp for children. In this position – "everything" was in my job description and I loved it. I remained in this position until 2003 when the owners sold the camp and on their recommendation, I started Add-Vantage Bookkeeping, with them being my first client in their new business venture.

Tammatha is the Owner of TD Accounting Services, a Cloud Based Accounting practice physically located in Stirling Ontario. She has had the honor to service clients for the last 25 years not only in her local area but across Canada. With the advent and evolution of cloud accounting, she has re-structured her practice to embrace the new technology, and this has allowed her and her team to help SMB's focus on building and growing their businesses by offering solutions to problems they encounter. In her spare time, she loves to golf, spend time with her family and expand her knowledge on the ever changing landscape of cloud accounting.
I have a community college education enhanced by selected university courses. My first full-time position was in 1971 (back when we hand wrote in journals and ledgers). Over the last 44 years I have worked in business as well as public accounting. The last 15 years I have been successfully self-employed, but am now retiring from active day-to-day work. I am a certified member and Regional Developer with IPBC as well as being a confirmed member of APA&TC.
Colleen has been in the bookkeeping industry for over 25 years, working in both public accounting and industry. In 2012, she purchased a bookkeeping business, Security House Accounting, which offers a full range of bookkeeping and tax services for small to medium businesses as well as individuals. Soon after, she joined the IPBC and earned her Certified Professional BookkeeperTM (CPBTM) designation. Security House Accounting has since grown to include twelve team members, of which three are CPB's. In 2016 she was awarded IPBC's prestigious Fellowship Award and is now an FCPBTM.
Colleen will be serving her third term as an IPBC Director. She is the current Chair of IPBC's Accreditation and Compliance Committee, a member of the Ethics and Discipline Committee, and of the Governance Committee. Colleen was part of the Committee that chose the new IPBC CEO in 2017.
I worked in public and private sector positions before starting my own business in 1994 and have accumulated extensive experience and knowledge of a variety of industries and businesses. This variety keeps me on my toes always finding solutions to various situations and/or customer needs — I love it.
I am proud to display my CPB designation and would like to see it more widely recognized - identified - sought after by bookkeepers, business owners and accountants. A good bookkeeper needs to be current with tax legislation, business reporting requirements and knowledgeable about the process. It is not enough to say you are a bookkeeper, you need to prove it to the world and be proud. You need to be constantly educating yourself to be relevent and current. As bookkeepers, we are privy to some very private aspects of our customers' lives which requires a great deal of trust and a confidentiality bond which we should never take for granted. We need to have the difficult conversations without emotion or blame. We are a part of their team.
I hope to share my experience and knowledge with the board so that we can continue the growth of this amazing organization, what it stands for and be the primary "go to" resource for anyone wanting a great bookkeeper!

I was taught from an early age to help people and to give back to my community. My parents were excellent role models in this, and I followed in their footsteps when I was 14 by becoming a member of our family team that counted the collection at church once a month, and by singing in the church choir. I still do both, although regretfully, without my parents. The church secretary at the time, Mrs. Edna Clough, was another role model who gave me my first training in bookkeeping outside of school. All these great examples led me to serve on my parish council, first as the youth member, and twice more afterward as a regular member, as well as becoming one of the youth ministry leaders.
I have also served on my housing co-operative board of directors and served a seven-year term as the co-op treasurer. In addition, I serve pro bono as the treasurer for both an 18th-century re-enactment group and a cat club. I started my bookkeeping business in 1987 on the advice of my best friend after being disappointed by the limitations of being an employee, and although I've dipped my toe in the employee pool again a couple of times since (being tempted by customers with great job offers), it just isn't for me.
I learned about the IPBC at one of Alan Salmon's Accounting Technology Seminars and on his advice, joined the organization in 2008. I sat for my CPB exam in 2009, and currently, serve on the Awards Committee. I have a strong belief that the bookkeeping industry is badly in need of a standard to which its members can be held, and that the IPBC is the organization in the best position to set it. I would like to help achieve this goal as a member of the Board of Directors. I promise to work hard on behalf of the members!

exploring mission and ministry in Anglican schools
June 26, 2015	/ Editorial Team	/ INNOVATION
Chapel: Breaking into the busyness of school life
Taking chapel into the busyness of the school community can help bring a moment of peace to all who gather. This profile is from the seventh edition of Experiri (Term 3 2014) and was contributed by the Reverend Nicki Colledge, Chaplain at St Margaret's Anglican Girls School, Brisbane.
Experiri is a quarterly newsletter presenting stories of innovation in school ministry from Australia and beyond. Each edition provides two or three profiles of innovative strategies that have been developed in response to challenges or emerging issues for chaplains or others in Anglican Schools, including Heads and Religious Educators. Until now Experiri was an emailed newsletter but in the coming months some of the previous profiles will be posted here.
What was the need or challenge being addressed?
In her 8th year as Chaplain, Rev Nicki created an idea to respond to the busyness of the school community; "If staff, students and family were 'too busy' to make it to morning chapel, I thought there was no reason why we couldn't bring chapel to them – meet people where they are, being who they are, completely present in the moment".
What was the response to the need?
On a clear bright Autumn morning, just as the school community was readying themselves for the new day, a service of Holy Communion was held … not in the chapel, not in a classroom, but outdoors surrounded by the morning activities of St Margaret's. The Reverend Nicki Colledge, School Chaplain, plans on taking Church to the people; "Wherever there are people, there is God. Sacred space is not just confined to a building, but wherever we may find quiet, or peace, or a moment of something special".
What was the impact?
"Travelling Church" has also been held around the School's Dragon (look up the story of St Margaret of Antioch!) and outside the School Tuckshop (Canteen). The Rev Nicki celebrates the sacrament of the Eucharist surrounded by the "noise of that place". In the rush of a new day a group of staff and students may find a moments' peace. To celebrate and receive communion or a blessing in "God's Cathedral" – the great outdoors – is a gift. Rev Nicki plans on bringing "Travelling Church" to a variety of surprising places around the school each month. The Service will follow the ringing of an old school bell that was a gift to the School Chapel in 1958. The first Travelling Church, held in the new Barley Sugar Gardens, created a vital link with past and present, tradition and modernity.
What were the greatest challenges?
One of the greatest challenges in Faith-based schools is offering worship and spiritual experiences that are not only accessible to the community, but are attractive and appealing. Travelling Church was an idea that emerged out of that challenge! Too often chapel is completely compulsory, but by offering a choice means that suddenly the culture is laid bare – is there anybody out there who will willingly come?
Travelling Church's greatest challenge for me is having the courage and the faith to give it a go…and see who accepts the invitation.

"The award-winning i1Display 2 delivers unrivaled color controls including Workgroup Match, Ambient Check and Match, Push Button Calibration and Validation—all essential tools for professional photographers and designers to attain accurate color throughout the digital workflow, whether in their own studio or in a collaborative production environment."
Detachable ambient light head to capture ambient light measurements—also serves as a dust protector for your device!
The i1 Display 2 product forms part of X-Rite's professional range of calibration tools, and offers additional features to their 'i1 Display LT' device which is entry-level. The Display 2 product offers Workgroup match, monitor validation and trending graphs, advanced user modes, user defined gamma and white point levels, luminance measurement, and the full i1Match software package. The i1 Display 2 Device retails for $249 USD. When you compare this to the LaCie products, the Blue Eye Pro is $369 and the trimmed down Blue Eye 2 is $299. Clearly the i1 Display 2 is good value for money considering it's the same device. We just need to find out if their software package produces good results.
The aim of this review is really to discover how effective the i1 Display 2 device is in calibrating monitors. We already know that the hardware device itself is high end, and is used in several packages including our own LaCie Blue Eye Pro device we use at TFT Central. What changes however, is the software which accompanies the device and what is available in terms of calibration process and validation.
As a control for these tests, I will also use the reporting feature of LaCie's software, which will show us several things, including luminance, gamma and colour temperature values reached by calibration. It will also show us the DeltaE (dE94) values for 16 colour shades, helping to show us how accurate the colours shown on the screen are. The X-Rite software package does NOT come with this reporting feature which is part of the reason the cost is lower than for LaCie's package.
After calibration, the Dell 2405FPW showed very good colour accuracy with an average DeltaE of only 0.6, and a maximum of 1.1. LaCie would consider the colouor fidelity to be excellent.
At default settings, the performance of the screen was far from ideal! Gamma was poorly adjusted to 1.7, colour temperature was recorded as 5803k and luminance was far too high at 228 cd/m2. With a black depth of 0.22 cd/m2, this gave a contrast ratio of 1036:1, just over the specified 1000:1 for this display.
I loaded up X-rite's Eye-One Match software (v 3.6.1) in order to carry out calibration with the X-rite device.
The software gives several options including a selection of languages, a choice of whether the ICC profile is created according to the ICC v2 or v4 specification, and whether the profile size is small (matrix) or large (LUT). You can also choose which type of device you are calibrating, and as you can see from the image above, this can be a monitor, projector, scanner, printer or camera. There is a guide section on the right of the screen giving you help as you go along. There is an easy and advanced mode to choose from, I'll stick with the advanced mode which just gives you access to more options and settings.
On the next section you are asked to define your target settings for the calibration. I will select 6500k colour temperature, 2.2 gamma and 120 cd/m2 luminance, for reasons already discussed. The next stage asks you to position the device on the screen, and the software removes any previous calibration settings you may already have in place.
The next stage guides you through configuring the best settings for contrast. Following the settings, you need to first set the contrast to 100% and then adjust it during the testing stages. The software features the ability to detect where on the screen you have placed the device. It can be positioned anywhere, and a series of squares are shown in order to determine the exact location of the probe. Having set contrast to 100%, you then adjust the setting until the optimum level is reached, indicated by a sliding bar scale as shown in the top right of the image.
You are then asked to adjust the 'white point', which will adjust the RGB levels of the screen and hopefully improve the colour accuracy. The help guidelines suggest you need to access your screens OSD to alter the RGB levels, but does give you an option if you only have preset modes. For our test screen, we have access to these adjustments.
Again the software locates the device on the screen, before flashing up a red, blue and green background. A white background is then shown and the RGB levels are then shown by a sliding bar scale. Initially, you can tell the RGB levels are way out, and the RGB preset colour temperature is currently recorded as 5900k, quite a difference from the desired 6500k. By adjusting the OSD RGB settings to 33, 32 and 34 respectively, I was able to move the slide bars to the desired central position as indicated by the software. The measurement now showed an RGB level of 6500k, reaching the desired setting.
The following stage asks you to calibrate the luminance (brightness) of the screen. With a target luminance of 120 cd/m2, it was necessary to adjust brightness in the OSD to as low as 7 (from a default 50%). The software relies far more on OSD adjustments than LaCie's software does. With the LaCie suite you are able to leave the brightness setting at a much higher value if you want (typically I have it around 30%), and the calibration process adjusts settings at a LUT / ICC profile level instead. Nevertheless, the desired 120 cd/m2 was reached.
The next stage is an automatic calibration adjustment which take approximately 3 minutes to complete. After which you are given some results as shown above. Colour temperature is confirmed as being corrected to 6500k as desired. Gamma is also now recorded at 2.2 as we hoped. Luminance is 120.1 cd/m2 and black depth is listed at 0.2 cd/m2. Note that the black depth reading is rounded to the nearest 0.1, and so alternative software is needed to determine if this is between 0.15 and 0.2 cd/m2. You are also given the option to save the calibrated ICC profile and whether you want the software to remind you in the future to re-calibrate the screen. The CIE digram is on the right hand side shows the colour space of the monitor. This doesn't really change, and since there's no reference (sRGB, NTSC space etc), it's fairly useless.
The left hand side shows a gamma curve. Gamma curves are graphs that show the dependence of the signal coming from the graphics card and the brightness of the pixel on the screen. This is an exponential dependence and the exponent is referred to as gamma . It's hard to tell from the image, but there is an 'ideal' curve shown by a black line, and then the corresponding red, green and blue curves are shown. In this case, the curves are all very similar, and close to the ideal gamma curve. If these were spaced out more, it can result in poor perceived contrast in certain tones and often can lead to banding in colours. The result from the calibration shows the gamma curves are well set up.
I activated the profile and exited the software in order to validate it's success.
Since the i1 Display 2 doesn't feature a test and report function, or a measurement of DeltaE values, it is necessary to go back to LaCie's software to determine how successful the calibration was.
If you compare these results with the default settings shown earlier on in this review, you can see there is a vast improvement. Gamma and colour temperature were now spot on at 2.2 and 6500k respectively. Only luminance was a little out at 109 cd/m2, being 9% out from the desired level. DeltaE was on average 0.6, and with a maximum of only 1.8. This was not quite as good as the results achieved during the calibration process of LaCie's own software, but was still very impressive. The screen felt much more comfortable than at default settings, and colours were vivid and even. Black depth was recorded at 0.15 cd/m2, giving a contrast ratio of 727:1.
Overall, the calibration process with the i1 Display 2 software was easy, with some good guidance as you go through. The process didn't take too long, perhaps 10 minutes in total, and the results were certainly pleasing. Obviously the device itself is capable of some high end results and so buying the i1 Display 2 (aka Eye-One Display 2) package is certainly a more cost effective way of getting the hardware colorimeter tool ($249 USD) than buying LaCie's Blue Eye Pro package ($369 USD). For users wanting some good calibration performance, and a more affordable price, the X-Rite device is certainly worth a look. For the purposes of our monitor reviews here, it is extremely useful for us to have test and report functionality of LaCie's software, and DeltaE results are very handy. This is the only main thing missing from X-Rite's software package and as such, it is not as useful for a reviewer or someone wanting to verify the calibration results. You could always consider purchasing the device at X-Rite's reasonable price, and then pairing it with alternative software from another provider. This is one option, but for many, the packaged Eye-One Match software will suffice.

Q: cut the spectrogram of a wav file I want to horizontally cut the spectrogram of a wav file into 24 pieces,and after measuring the power of each piece, and finally rank the pieces by power orders what should I do please

A: Could you show some code that you have written to try out the same? It would be easier to help if we have something to build upon and rectify issues, if any.
Additionally please try basic image manipulation to do the same. Instead of cutting you could divide the image into N (here 24) regions and analyze them in parallel using multiprocessing.

The fans worked out perfectly for the dressing rooms.
I have purchased two of these fans. I have low ceilings and cannot have ceiling fans. The first one I purchased was installed in my living room. I loved it so much I got a second for my bedroom. It's wonderful to have a fan mounted on the wall because I also have limited floor space. They work great and I would recommend them to anyone.
Excellent fan and easy installtion.
We have purchased 3 of these and our employees ask for these for their work areas specifically.
Its exactly what I needed.
So far this product has performed very well. Its exactly what I was looking for. We have young kids and didn't want a fan where they could get hurt.
Replaced the sister fan by Lasko with an Air King. Hopefully this fan will last more than 4 years. Works well while it's functional. I keep it in a very hot garage so it is essential equipment.
We purchased this for a home office and it has more than enough power with just the low speed (of three speed levels). Fairly quiet. Greatly increased the comfort of the office during these 100+ degree summer days. It arrived in 5 days and was easy to set up. I like that it hangs on the wall and doesn't take up valuable space.
This was a replacement fan for one that was dropped. That fan still worked, but we couldn't get the rattle out and it was 10 years old, after all. The new fan is very good at cooling our waiting room and keeping the stuffiness out. This company was great to work with. Amazingly fast service!
well. It's a nice fan and I put it in my family room cause only there it's get hot quick and this fan solved my problem. I think I have to order another one for my mom. Thank you.
This fan installs quickly and performs well!
We purchased 6 fans for our multi-purpose room, kitchen, and large Sunday School classrooms to help circulate air and reduce A/C. We also purchased cord trays at our local home improvement center to cover the long cords and keep little hands away. The fans installed quick and easy. The pull chain helps set the speed, while the oscillation directs air right where it is needed. Great product. Should have purchased years ago!
Wall Mounted fan saves space and won't walk away to another location!
I purchased this fan for the Kitchen of our Church. It is fantastic. We needed a fan that was out of the way and couldn't be moved from the Kitchen location. By hanging it on the wall that solved these problems. This fan is extremely easy to hang. The only thing I would change on it would be to put the oscillating button in an easy to reach location. Since the fan hangs on the wall and has cords to adjust the speed and the on/off function, it requires a step stool to get up to reach the oscillationg button on top of the fan. A remote control for it would be awesome for some home uses! I may actually purchase another one as soon as we find the wall space for it!
The product I purchased for our school district was just what we needed for our jr/sr high school kitchen. It helps keep the dishwasher cool while she is washing dishes.
Great Fan, it's everything that was said about it.
This fan is being used to cool us off while sitting on our boat dock. The fan is quiet and smooth running which helps while making conversation with our guest. I have recommended this fan to our neighbors. The product purchase and delivery was easy and fast. Thanks for a great product.
Wall mounted fan is used to help circulate air throughout the bar area of the restaurant and does a great job. Easy to install.
We have a solar powered house in Mexico, and use the fan to cool us off on the patio.
Shopping experience was very easy. Delivery was timely. Product met our expectations and was easy to assemble. Pricing was inline and a good value.
Great air flow and not too loud, as advertised.
This gives the 9016 enough range to cool any room. Its oscillating function also keeps air circulating, so that it would never go stale. Simply angle the fan to an appropriate position and enjoy a crisp breeze of air!
The 9016 features Air King quality construction. Its grills are created with quality and durability in mind. Its front steel is made of powder coated steel as its rear grill is made of impact resistant plastic.
Air King's oscillating fans, like th 9016, feature a 120 volt permanently lubricated motor with a 3-conductor type SPT power cord. The 9016 operates with a 1/20 HP motor with both pull chain and front mounted rotary controls for your convenience.
Use the 9016 in workshops or workstations in your office or home, in health clubs or gyms, stores, classrooms, hospitals, and more! The 9016 can function anywhere as long as there is a wall to install it on!
Product Dimensions: L: 18.00" x W: 14.38" x H: 22.63"
This item is replacing a very old similar item. Therefore installation is expected to be as simple as swapping out the old for the new.
Because they use them in all of the carribean and they save space.
To replace ones I had before that where not working anymore.
This fan is great, moves air and saves floor space. we work in a hot environment and need something like this to move air. Also dont have to worry about someone tripping over the cord or running into yhe fan!
We have purchased these fans before but your site had a better price.
I previously purchased one from Amazon, but it was not name brand, and did not function. I have been searching online for another wall mount fan. I wanted remote control, but will take this one since it a name brand!
I am an teacher at a nursery school. The classroom doesn't have air conditioning. The fans currently in use are either in the way or potential dangers to the children. The wall fan will help out on both fronts.
We have two of these in our health club and they are strong and attractive.
Where can I find the wall bracket to mount my fan?
It should have come with the fan. If not return it and get the complete kit.
The bracket is with the fan, in the box. its only about 3 inches tall, and about 2 inches wide. So easy to attach to the wall, then slide the fan on it.
In the container with the fan they are not sold separately. This question has an obvious answer.
It comes with the fan. Very simple to install.

Q: Joint Distribution of Discrete and Continuous Suppose i have two random variables, $X$ and $Y$. WLOG assume $X$ is discrete, and $Y$ is continuous.
How do we define the joint distribution between $X$ and $Y$? Furthermore, how can we extend this to a countably infinite set of random variables?
EDIT: i should note that, I'm wondering how can it be defined and calculated in terms of PDF and CDF.

A: The joint distribution can be defined using the measure-theoretic definition: you have to know
$\mathbb{P}((X,Y)\in A) $ for all $A\in \mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{N}$ for instance,
and this works for any two random variables, you can extend this to any space of definition for $X$ and $Y$.
On the other hand, to define a pdf you would need a reference measure. For continuous distribution, the reference measure is the lebesgue measure, for discrete distribution the reference is the counting measure.
Take the following example : $X\sim Unif((0,1))$, $Y \sim Ber(X)$. You have that $X$ and $Y$ are dependent and you can show that for a function $\phi$,
$$E[\phi(X,Y)]= \int_{0,1}\sum_{y=0}^1 \phi(x,y) x^y(1-x)^{1-y} dx $$
hence, the density with respect to the tensor product lebesgue times counting measure is
$$f(x,y)= \begin{cases} x^y(1-x)^{1-y} &if \quad x \in (0,1), y \in \{0,1\}\\ 0 &else \end{cases}$$
Then, indeed you get a pdf, with respect to the tensor product lebesgue times counting measure, but as you saw it most of the time it is more natural to describe such random variables using, if possible, a hierarchical definition where one random variable depends of the other even though it may not always be possible.

Your choice of birth environment is the first decision you make that determines your pain-relief options. If you know you want to use modern medical pain-relief methods, you will need to select a birth environment that can accommodate these preferences. If you are leaning more toward a natural childbirth, but would like to keep your options open, you may want to be in a birth environment that offers not only nonmedical forms of pain relief but also allows accessibility to medical pain relief, should you change your mind during labor. If you are committed to using no medical pain-relief options and do not want to be in an environment where they are frequently used, you will need to choose a birth environment that has both the physical amenities and supportive caregivers you will need to successfully give birth free of any medications, using complementary and alternative pain-management techniques.
The staff of caregivers available to you during labor and birth can also directly impact your pain-relief options. For instance, if you think you prefer to use an epidural but are in a hospital where the only anesthesiologist is on another unit at the time when you are in need of pain relief, this can significantly impact your birth experience. Conversely, if you prefer to delay or avoid the use of medications, a busy hospital with a high percentage of epidural usage may not be the ideal environment for you to achieve this goal.
List the most common birth environments.
Describe what each has to offer with regard to pain-relief options.
Provide a description of the various professionals who may (or may not) be with you during labor and birth.
Provide an at-a-glance comparison between hospitals and birth centers.
Most women in the United States (approximately 98 percent) give birth in a hospital. But all hospitals are not alike, and maternity units vary greatly from hospital to hospital. In addition, the size of the hospital and its maternity unit can impact the type of birth experience you have.
You want to be in a place where all or most medical pain-relief options will be available to you.
You want to give birth in a setting that has equipment and staff ready to deal with an unlikely emergency.
You feel more confident in a birth environment surrounded by a variety of medical professionals.
You want a two- to four-day recovery period before returning home with your new baby.
Larger hospitals typically offer more medical pain-management options than are found in smaller (community) hospitals. Larger hospitals are more likely to have an in-house, around-the-clock anesthesiology staff readily available if you are in need of an epidural. Often, these larger hospitals have anesthesiologists who are assigned specifically to the maternity unit. This reduces the likelihood of delays for women in need of pain relief that must be given by the anesthesiologist.
Smaller hospitals may not have as many medical pain-relief options and may not offer epidurals twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. If they have a limited anesthesia staff, some smaller hospitals may not offer epidurals at all. On the other hand, many of these small hospitals, as a result of not having as much "high-tech" pain relief to offer, often have staff and equipment that can successfully support the mom who prefers to use fewer or no medications throughout labor and birth. So, depending upon your own preferences, either of these settings may be right for you. But, clearly, if you desire the full-throttle pain relief of an epidural, you are more likely to find this type of pain management taking place in larger hospitals with busier maternity units.
In hospitals that deliver fifteen hundred or more babies per year, 69% of women use an epidural or a combined spinal-epidural.
In hospitals that deliver five hundred to fifteen hundred babies per year, 50% of women use an epidural or a combined spinal-epidural.
Hospitals of all sizes are increasingly responding to women's requests for more pain-management options, including baths, showers, the use of birth balls, and the promotion of movement and positioning during labor and birth. More hospitals are encouraging, or at the very least accepting, women's choice to use doulas (described in this chapter) as their primary support people during their labor and birth.
Many hospitals throughout the country have made their birthing rooms more appealing and homelike, with the goal of helping women feel relaxed and comfortable in the unfamiliar and sometimes intimidating surroundings of a clinical setting. Even with these changes, the hospital stay (which, for most women, is their very first hospital stay) can make you feel like, well, like you're in a hospital! Many caregivers recommend you bring your own homelike objects of comfort that will promote a sense of familiarity and relaxation in an otherwise unfamiliar setting. You may want to bring your favorite pillow, fragrance, photos, and a radio or CD player to listen to your favorite music. If you feel more comfy in your own clothing, let the hospital staff know you would like to wear your own threads instead of their hospital gown.
Two more factors may also determine where you ultimately give birth: your insurance coverage, which may or may not cover your care at your preferred hospital, and your obstetrician's hospital affiliation. The hospital in which your obste- trician or midwife works will be the hospital where you will have your baby. If you like your obstetrician or midwife, but do not like the hospital with which he or she is affiliated, you may find you will need to switch to a doctor or midwife who works in the hospital where you want to have your baby.
Are Women Who Have Their Babies in Hospitals Satisfied with Their Experience?
Ninety-six percent said they were satisfied with the health care they received.
Ninety-four percent felt they were treated with kindness and understanding.
Birth centers grew popular in the 1970s as an alternative to the hospital birth experience. Birth centers may also be called alternative birth centers (ABCs) or childbearing centers. According to the National Association of Childbearing Centers, "birth centers are guided by principles of prevention, sensitivity, safety, appropriate medical intervention, and cost effectiveness."4 Birth centers, unlike hospitals, do not exist in many communities across the country and, depending on where you live, may not be an option available to you.
You are committed to giving birth without pain-relief medications.
You do not feel relaxed in a medical setting and prefer a nonmedical type of atmosphere.
You feel more confident in a birth setting surrounded by your family and being cared for by staff (and equipment) that is geared toward supporting a labor experience using coping strategies instead of medical pain-relief strategies.
You may want to return home as soon as possible after giving birth.
Birth centers are often operated by midwives, or midwives and physicians together. The prospect of giving birth in a birth center is usually most appealing to women who want a birth environment where there will be as few medical interventions (including pain-relief interventions) as possible during labor and birth. The birth center is a good option for women who do not want to have their baby in a hospital but also do not want to give birth at home.
There are some in-hospital birth centers that provide a homey family-centered birth environment; they are attached to the hospital or are located on their campus. The in-hospital birth center is a distinct facility, separate from the hospital's labor and delivery unit. Typically, epidurals are not offered in these centers. Depending on your preferences, this type of environment may also be a perfectly suitable option for you. A birth center within a hospital, however, may not operate in the same way an out-of-hospital birth center does, and its care practices and staffing may be more like hospital care than birth center care.
If you choose to have your baby in a birth center, a certified nurse-midwife (CNM) will most likely be your primary caregiver. Although in birth centers midwives and obstetricians work together, it is the midwife who will likely attend to the birth of your baby, unless the obstetrician is needed due to a complication. Your health care provider must determine that you are healthy a woman with a low-risk pregnancy in order for you to give birth to your baby in a birth center. Birth centers provide care to women throughout their pregnancy, labor and birth, and postpartum.
The birth center itself is characterized by a homelike atmosphere that is less high tech in appearance than a typical hospital maternity unit. If you are laboring in a birth center and at some point need emergency medical intervention, you will be transferred to a hospital.
Birth centers promote a relaxed, privte, nonclinical environment in which a variety of nonmedical pain-mainagement approached can be accommodated. Birth centers do not offer epidurals, and they ususally (although not always) do not offer narcoticinjections. Birth centers are ot equipped to perform cesarean section deliveries. In fact, the cesarian section rate for women who began their labor in birth centers is around 4 percent.

NSC Torches China In Statement For Not Stopping 'Wuhan Coronavirus'
The National Security Council blasted the Chinese Communist Party on Tuesday for expelling journalists from the country and spreading false information about the origin of the virus instead of focusing on stopping the virus, which originated in China.
"The Chinese Communist Party's decision to expel journalists from China and Hong Kong is yet another step toward depriving the Chinese people and the world of access to true information about China," the NSC said in a statement. "The United States calls on China's leaders to refocus their efforts from expelling journalists and spreading disinformation to joining all nations in stopping the Wuhan coronavirus."
The statement from the NSC comes after China announced it would expel American journalists working for The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal.
"It also demanded that those outlets, as well as the Voice of America and Time magazine, provide the Chinese government with detailed information about their operations," The New York Times reported. "The announcement went on to say that the American journalists now working in mainland China 'will not be allowed to continue working as journalists in the People's Republic of China, including its Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions.' The two territories are semiautonomous and in theory have greater press freedoms than the mainland."
"I regret China's decision today to further foreclose the world's ability to conduct free press operations that frankly would be really good for the Chinese people," Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told reporters. "This is unfortunate. I hope they'll reconsider."
Dean Baquet, the executive editor of the Times, condemned China's actions, saying that it was "especially irresponsible at a time when the world needs the free and open flow of credible information about the coronavirus pandemic."
Martin Baron, executive editor of The Washington Post, said, "We unequivocally condemn any action by China to expel U.S. reporters. The Chinese government's decision is particularly regrettable because it comes in the midst of an unprecedented global crisis, when clear and reliable information about the international response to covid-19 is essential. Severely limiting the flow of that information, which China now seeks to do, only aggravates the situation."
Matt Murray, editor in chief of the Journal, said in a tweet: "China's unprecedented attack on freedom of the press comes at a time of unparalleled global crisis. Trusted news reporting from and about China has never been more important. We oppose government interference with a free press anywhere in the world. Our commitment to reporting fully and deeply on China is unchanged."

China has launched a desperate propaganda campaign aimed at spreading false information about the origins of the coronavirus.
Elizabeth C. Economy, a senior fellow and director of Asia studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, told The Times, "The danger for Xi Jinping is that as the virus spreads globally, the role that China's system of governance played in delaying a timely response will face growing scrutiny and criticism from the international community," adding that the propaganda was "a last-ditch effort by Xi to deflect blame and avoid a demand by the international community for an honest accounting of what actually transpired."

Home / Bible / Revelation pt. 8 – Hail Of An Talent.

Revelation pt. 8 – Hail Of An Talent.
"And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great." (Rev. 16:17-21).
Under God's wrath in the seventh bowl of Revelation. 16, which continues to unfold the events of the year 70, we are witnessed an even more dramatic evidence of the first century fulfillment. There are two characteristics that appear here. One is that the city is divided into three and the other one is the big hail that fell from the sky.
The city is divided into three parts.
Many people interpret this that the town (Jerusalem) is physically divided into three by an earthquake mentioned in Revelation. 16:17-21, we see that this has not happened. They believe then that this will happen in the future, but again, I refer to that previous post that Revelation is about the first-century events, specific to the events of the years 64-70 AD.
How was Jerusalem, the city, divided then? The city was divided in three by three different groups or parties which stood opposite to each other, i.e an internal conflict within the walls of Jerusalem. Josephus is well aware of this when he writes:
"And now there were three treacherous factions in the city, the one parted from the other. Eleazar and his party, that kept the sacred first-fruits, came against John in their cups. Those that were with John plundered the populace, and went out with zeal against Simon. This Simon had his supply of provisions from the city, in opposition to the seditious." (War. 5:1:4).
"When therefore Titus had marched over that desert which lies between Egypt and Syria, in the manner forementioned, he came to Cesarea, having resolved to set his forces in order at that place, before he began the war. Nay, indeed, while he was assisting his father at Alexandria, in settling that government which had been newly conferred upon them by God, it so happened that the sedition at Jerusalem was revived, and parted into three factions, and that one faction fought against the other; which partition in such evil cases may be said to be a good thing, and the effect of Divine justice." (War. 5:1:1).
This was not a dispute anyone could take lightly, but a faction that was dangerous to the unity within Jerusalem and within the walls, and which brought much misery. For Josephus continues in the same section:
"Now as to the attack the zealots made upon the people, and which I esteem the beginning of the city's destruction, it hath been already explained after an accurate manner; as also whence it arose, and to how great a mischief it was increased. But for the present sedition, one should not mistake if he called it a sedition begotten by another sedition, and to be like a wild beast grown mad, which, for want of food from abroad, fell now upon eating its own flesh." (War. 5:1:1).
As Josephus said, "which I esteem the beginning of the city's destruction", John also prophesy, "And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell" It was thus the political disagreements and divisions into parties which divided the city into three parts.
Hail of an talent.
Stone used in Roman catapult. This is found at Massada, Israel.
It have been many theories about what these shotguns are too. One of them is the bombs with poisonous gases such people "burn" alive. With today's technology and knowledge could make it possible, but again, we are talking about the year 70 AD.
In Revelation part 3, I mentioned about the law of stoning an unfaithful woman (5.Mos. 22:21), and this does not pass John:
"And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great." (Rev. 16:21).
In comparison, Josephus also give a historical fact of what happened to the harlot, the old Jerusalem:
"The engines, that all the legions had ready prepared for them, were admirably contrived; but still more extraordinary ones belonged to the tenth legion: those that threw darts and those that threw stones were more forcible and larger than the rest, by which they not only repelled the excursions of the Jews, but drove those away that were upon the walls also. Now the stones that were cast were of the weight of a talent*, and were carried two furlongs and further. The blow they gave was no way to be sustained, not only by those that stood first in the way, but by those that were beyond them for a great space. As for the Jews, they at first watched the coming of the stone, for it was of a white color, and could therefore not only be perceived by the great noise it made, but could be seen also before it came by its brightness; accordingly the watchmen that sat upon the towers gave them notice when the engine was let go, and the stone came from it, and cried out aloud, in their own country language, THE STONE COMETH so those that were in its way stood off, and threw themselves down upon the ground; by which means, and by their thus guarding themselves, the stone fell down and did them no harm. But the Romans contrived how to prevent that by blacking the stone, who then could aim at them with success, when the stone was not discerned beforehand, as it had been till then; and so they destroyed many of them at one blow." (War. 5:6:3), (* My emphasis.).
Just imagine and try put yourselves into their place. For at that time, it had to be a surprising sight to see these stones of 34.2 kg (one talent) flying over the big wall of Jerusalem and do the vast damage that they did. This experience set the perfect reality of John's view of these enormous hailstone. Jerusalem was now stoned in accordance with the law for an unfaithful woman, for Jerusalem had become a harlot (Revelation 3 – The Harlot).
Blood up to the horse bridles
"And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs." (Rev. 14:17-20).
John following up the Old Testament pattern her and gives us a picture of the wine. As known to many, Israel symbolizes as wine of God, which we find in Sal. 80:8, Isa. 5:1-7, Jer. 2:21; 12:10, Ezek. 17:2, 6; 19:1, 10, and Mat. 21:33-40. But do we believe that the blood actually flowed beyond 322 km (Greek: 1600 stages), and so deep as to bridle of the horses?
Israels land under Roman Empire. From Leontes River to Wadi el Arish in Egypt.
The interesting thing to note here is that the land of Israel during the Roman Empire, as a Roman province, stretching from the Litani River in Lebanon (Leontas River) to the Wadi el Arish in Egypt, a distance of 321.8 kilometers (200 miles ), or 1644 stadia. (Rev 14:20). We have also seen earlier that the "city" in Revelation is the place where Christ was crucified, ie Jerusalem. (Rev. 11:8). Harvest occurs in the earth, which is the land of Israel (Rev. 14:15-19 cf. Rev. 1:7). The place where Christ was crucified, that is, outside the city (John 19:20, cf. Heb. 13 :11-13). This pictorial language that John uses here, says that Israel will suffer a bloodbath that extends throughout the country, which Josephus also writes about:
"… because not only the whole country through which they fled was filled with slaughter, (War. 4:7:6).
But the depth of the blood flow should be as up to bridle the horses may well not any seriously believe. It would coagulate quickly and not be able to run at large distances, but we see a symbolism of bloodshed in the Jewish War. Josephus continues:
"…and Jordan could not be passed over, by reason of the dead bodies that were in it, but because the lake Asphaltiris was also full of dead bodies, that were carried down into it by the river." (War. 4:7:6).
"insomuch that the sea was bloody a long way, and the maritime parts were full of dead bodies;"" (War. 3:9:3).
one might then see the lake all bloody, and full of dead bodies, for not one of them escaped" (War 3:10:9).
Now when Josephus describes the final destruction of Jerusalem, he writes:
"blood ran down over all the lower parts of the city, from the upper." (War. 4:1:10)
"And now the outer temple was all of it overflowed with blood; and that day, as it came on, they saw eight thousand five hundred dead bodies there." (War. 4:5:1).
"the blood of all sorts of dead carcasses stood in lakes in the holy courts… " (War. 5:1:3).
"the whole city run down with blood, to such a degree indeed that the fire of many of the houses was quenched with these men's blood." (War. 6:8:5).
That the sea became blood, we also see examples of in Rev. 8:8 and 16:3. The Lamb, the slaughtered lamb pours out his wrath (Rev. 6:16-17) of those who crucified Him (Rev. 1:7).
Although Revelation can not interpret literal, it portrays the historical events in the Jewish war in 70 AD, which we have considered. We have been through some incredible events that correspond between John and Josephus … and there are many more I could bring in, but it will take too much space.

"Mother, one couch next to Lona is empty: I know I am unworthy, but may I not sleep this night in your chamber with my dead? Will you not pardon both my cowardice and my self-confidence, and take me in? I give me up. I am sick of myself, and would fain sleep the sleep!"
"The couch next to Lona is the one already prepared for you," she answered; "but something waits to be done ere you sleep."
"I am ready," I replied.
"How do you know you can do it?" she asked with a smile.
"Because you require it," I answered. "What is it?"
"Then tell him what he has to do."
Adam turned to his daughter.
"Give me that hand, Mara, my child."
She held it out to him in her lap. He took it tenderly.
"Let us go to the cottage," he said to me; "there I will instruct you."
As we went, again arose a sudden stormful blast, mingled with a great flapping on the roof, but it died away as before in a deep moan.
When the door of the death-chamber was closed behind us, Adam seated himself, and I stood before him.
"You will remember," he said, "how, after leaving my daughter's house, you came to a dry rock, bearing the marks of an ancient cataract; you climbed that rock, and found a sandy desert: go to that rock now, and from its summit walk deep into the desert. But go not many steps ere you lie down, and listen with your head on the sand. If you hear the murmur of water beneath, go a little farther, and listen again. If you still hear the sound, you are in the right direction. Every few yards you must stop, lie down, and hearken. If, listening thus, at any time you hear no sound of water, you are out of the way, and must hearken in every direction until you hear it again. Keeping with the sound, and careful not to retrace your steps, you will soon hear it louder, and the growing sound will lead you to where it is loudest: that is the spot you seek. There dig with the spade I will give you, and dig until you come to moisture: in it lay the hand, cover it to the level of the desert, and come home.--But give good heed, and carry the hand with care. Never lay it down, in what place of seeming safety soever; let nothing touch it; stop nor turn aside for any attempt to bar your way; never look behind you; speak to no one, answer no one, walk straight on.--It is yet dark, and the morning is far distant, but you must set out at once."
He gave me the hand, and brought me a spade.
"This is my gardening spade," he said; "with it I have brought many a lovely thing to the sun."
I took it, and went out into the night.
It was very cold, and pitch-dark. To fall would be a dread thing, and the way I had to go was a difficult one even in the broad sunlight! But I had not set myself the task, and the minute I started I learned that I was left to no chance: a pale light broke from the ground at every step, and showed me where next to set my foot. Through the heather and the low rocks I walked without once even stumbling. I found the bad burrow quite still; not a wave arose, not a head appeared as I crossed it.
A moon came, and herself showed me the easy way: toward morning I was almost over the dry channels of the first branch of the river-bed, and not far, I judged, from Mara's cottage.
The moon was very low, and the sun not yet up, when I saw before me in the path, here narrowed by rocks, a figure covered from head to foot as with a veil of moonlit mist. I kept on my way as if I saw nothing. The figure threw aside its veil.
"Have you forgotten me already?" said the princess--or what seemed she.
I neither hesitated nor answered; I walked straight on.
"You meant then to leave me in that horrible sepulchre! Do you not yet understand that where I please to be, there I am? Take my hand: I am alive as you!"
I was on the point of saying, "Give me your left hand," but bethought myself, held my peace, and steadily advanced.
"Give me my hand," she suddenly shrieked, "or I will tear you in pieces: you are mine!"
She flung herself upon me. I shuddered, but did not falter. Nothing touched me, and I saw her no more.
With measured tread along the path, filling it for some distance, came a body of armed men. I walked through them--nor know whether they gave way to me, or were bodiless things. But they turned and followed me; I heard and felt their march at my very heels; but I cast no look behind, and the sound of their steps and the clash of their armour died away.
A little farther on, the moon being now close to the horizon and the way in deep shadow, I descried, seated where the path was so narrow that I could not pass her, a woman with muffled face.
"Ah," she said, "you are come at last! I have waited here for you an hour or more! You have done well! Your trial is over. My father sent me to meet you that you might have a little rest on the way. Give me your charge, and lay your head in my lap; I will take good care of both until the sun is well risen. I am not bitterness always, neither to all men!"
Her words were terrible with temptation, for I was very weary. And what more likely to be true! If I were, through slavish obedience to the letter of the command and lack of pure insight, to trample under my feet the very person of the Lady of Sorrow! My heart grew faint at the thought, then beat as if it would burst my bosom.
Nevertheless my will hardened itself against my heart, and my step did not falter. I took my tongue between my teeth lest I should unawares answer, and kept on my way. If Adam had sent her, he could not complain that I would not heed her! Nor would the Lady of Sorrow love me the less that even she had not been able to turn me aside!
Just ere I reached the phantom, she pulled the covering from her face: great indeed was her loveliness, but those were not Mara's eyes! no lie could truly or for long imitate them! I advanced as if the thing were not there, and my foot found empty room.
I had almost reached the other side when a Shadow--I think it was The Shadow, barred my way. He seemed to have a helmet upon his head, but as I drew closer I perceived it was the head itself I saw--so distorted as to bear but a doubtful resemblance to the human. A cold wind smote me, dank and sickening--repulsive as the air of a charnel-house; firmness forsook my joints, and my limbs trembled as if they would drop in a helpless heap. I seemed to pass through him, but I think now that he passed through me: for a moment I was as one of the damned. Then a soft wind like the first breath of a new-born spring greeted me, and before me arose the dawn.
My way now led me past the door of Mara's cottage. It stood wide open, and upon the table I saw a loaf of bread and a pitcher of water. In or around the cottage was neither howl nor wail.
I came to the precipice that testified to the vanished river. I climbed its worn face, and went on into the desert. There at last, after much listening to and fro, I determined the spot where the hidden water was loudest, hung Lilith's hand about my neck, and began to dig. It was a long labour, for I had to make a large hole because of the looseness of the sand; but at length I threw up a damp spadeful. I flung the sexton-tool on the verge, and laid down the hand. A little water was already oozing from under its fingers. I sprang out, and made haste to fill the grave. Then, utterly fatigued, I dropped beside it, and fell asleep.


The character of Grand River South is exemplified by its relaxed environment. This neighbourhood is very quiet overall, as noise from streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue. Lastly, there are about 10 parks close by for residents to discover, like Lackner Woods and Natchez Woods, resulting in them being very easy to reach from the majority of locations within the neighbourhood.

Hello. Molto bella anche questa.


Since it is getting close to Thanksgiving, I thought I might share this recipe. It is pretty simple to make, but the end result looks spectacular and tastes amazing.
Bake at 350 ° for 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool for 15 minutes. Place cake on clean tea towel sprinkled generously with powdered sugar. Allow to cool for another 10 minutes. Starting with 10- inch side, roll cake up in towel. Set aside.
Unroll cake. Evenly spread filling over cake. Roll up cake (without the towel). Wrap in plastic wrap. Cover and chill for one hour. Slice before serving. Leftover slices should be refrigerated.
Okay, I printed it out so I'll have it. I'm not sure when I'll be able to make it, but it sure looks yummy.

Birdteq installed anti theft netting over the whole yard, the netting spanned from the main stores roof to the perimeter fencing, thus creating a physical barrier so no goods could be thrown over.
The project was carried out by two Birdteq installers over several days using scissor lifts for access.
s were secured to the stores walls and perimeter fencing, along with extra strong 3mm wire rope, to give the security netting additional strength.


Another day, another piece of cryptocurrency malware discovered. On this occasion, it's Google Play, the app store for Android users, that was affected.
Researchers at We Live Security (WLS) found that fraudsters had created an application which imitated a legitimate program called MetaMask.
Founded four years ago, MetaMask is supposed to allow a user to access Ethereum developer applications directly on their browser.
Currently, the firm does not offer a mobile application. Users can only access the company's services via browser extensions.
The purpose of the fraudulent application was to steal a user's ethereum wallet details. It could also be used to alter a payment by replacing the real recipient's public key with the hacker's.
To put this in simple terms, a clipper allows a scammer to doctor something copied to a user's clipboard.
By and large, being able to interfere with what is copied to someone's clipboard isn't particularly useful. If I copy and paste a small piece of text, and someone has doctored the text, the chances are I'm going to see it.
Not so for wallet addresses. As they are made up of a series of random digits and letters, it would be very easy to replace a wallet address copied to someone's keyboard without them realising.
WLS says that that this is not the first time that hackers have impersonated MetaMask.
Since the company launched in 2015, a number of fake mobile applications have popped up on the Android Store purporting to be a mobile version of MetaMask.
But in those instances, the hackers have simply tried to steal users' wallet details, instead of messing with their clipboard.

Q: Changing datetime format without changing the locale in Java In my Java program, I'm creating datetime to a String in format:
"dd/mm/yyyy 02:00:00 AM GMT"

Then I use createDateTime(String date) method from Lotus (method doc) but the format of the datetime is changed to:
"mm/dd/yyyy 02:00:00 AM GMT"

because of regional settings on a Windows machine where is program running.
Locale is set to English.US that has different date format. I can manually change this setting, but this is system wide.
Is there a way to change that date format only for this program without changing locale/date format of locate in system?

A: Read this article, http://beginnersbook.com/2013/05/java-parse-date/
You have to use SimpleDateFormat object. This object constructor get a format string and use parse function get a string date parameter.
