It generally starts with an e-mail that goes "I have been shooting pictures for many years, and now I would like to scan them into digital form. I have a mix of slides, negatives of various sizes and family prints - maybe 30,000 in all. What is the most efficient way I can do this?"
This will save months of work, even though it means a bit of drudgery at the beginning.
Film is an excellent storage medium for photographs as long as the film is filed in easily accessible archival sleeve pages. Buy a bunch of three ring binders for organizing your film, along with the necessary pages.
Two additional items will make life a whole lot easier. Buy a light box large enough to be able to easily see a full page of film strips. Second, select a space with enough horizontal surfaces and buy an air cleaner that will keep it reasonably dust free. Anyone involved with darkroom work wages an unremitting battle against dust.
Now spend some time thinking about how you want to have your images filed - both in the binders and on your drive. Then sleeve your film in the way you have chosen.
As you are doing this, have a pad of tiny Post-It Notes at hand and use them to flag your best and most significant exposures. Be selective. These are the images you plan to access frequently. If you are looking at a series of related exposures, only flag the most meaningful. If there are two that are almost the same, pick the best one. At this point, avoid flagging so many that you are overwhelmed.
While you are going through the sorting and filing process, be thinking of exactly why you are doing this. If you just got a scanner and want something to do with it, you will quickly become bored and abandon the project. Learning to produce good scans takes time and work. Is the goal a web site? Slide shows? A DVD for the family to play on TVs? How many prints will you actually make?
Scan not for the resolution of the input device - the scanner - but rather for the needs of the output device, be it the screen, projector or printer.
If you are aiming mostly at screen presentations, there is no need to scan at high resolution. Most web pictures are a maximum of 640 x 480. People still use dial-ups and I have a topic with 800 x 600 pictures and I get complaints. Digital projectors with a resolution of over 1280 x 1024 are still quite rare and expensive, so for a slide show, that is about all the resolution you need. Even with HDTV coming on, the highest resolution it can show is 1920 x 1080. Anything beyond is thrown away.
What about those intended for prints?
A while back I did some tests of print resolutions, I took a top quality medium format negative and scanned it to 5x7 print size, first at 240 dpi and second at 360 dpi. I printed these side by side on a single sheet of premium glossy paper. They were shown to a lot of people under widely varying light conditions. Perhaps 20% said they could see some difference on very close inspection, but not one person would venture which print was better.
I also did a pair at 300 dpi and at 150 dpi. At reading distance, the 300 dpi print was clearly superior. At arm's length, they became somewhat ambiguous, and it took a bit of concentration to identify which was which. A short distance farther and they looked identical.
Just because your scanner claims to have an optical resolution of 6400 dpi, does not mean that you must use it. It is simply pointless to scan to some exaggerated resolution and then throw away most of it, since it is not usable.
OK, your film is sleeved and filed, your best photographs are flagged. You clearly know your goals of how the images will be used.
If you are just entering the digital darkroom for the first time, expect to spend considerable time acquiring skills to do this. Realize as well, that the learning process never ends. You may well be pleased with your initial results, only to find a year later, that you want to redo everything.
That is natural. As your skill level rises, so will your expectations. If you want a job done quickly, hire a beginner. If you want it done well, hire a master - and expect it to take a lot longer.
Start with the images you have flagged - only. You might want to move the pages with flags to the front of the binder for easy access or designate a separate binder for these - the cream of the crop.
Working with these images is like visiting with long lost friends. Such pleasure seeing them come up on the screen. They are the incentive to learn, and these may be the only ones you really need to scan. Film, well filed and stored, is an excellent medium for preserving pictures - as I said above. There is no reason to scan images you will never access.
If there is a family celebration in the offing, it is a good time to go through the files again and put together a presentation. By waiting until there is a reason, you can fine tune the scans to that presentation. You waste neither time, nor drive space and produce the very finest product.
You now have reasonable sized files on your drive, organized for easy access. You have no clutter of nearly identical images, blurred images, badly exposed images and all the other things that detract from a photograph. You have cut the 30,000 images down to perhaps a thousand, and that is doable. Since you have the scanner and the skills, you want to revisit the film at leisure any time.
My film is stored in binders as above, and I have a separate binder that holds all my favorite images. If that works for you, do it.
Much of my photography was done with medium-format cameras, so that was the prime consideration in buying a scanner. I could not justify the price of a dedicated medium-format film scanner, and at the time the Epson 4870 was getting good reviews. My expectations were low, but I bought it anyway. My first print made me a true believer. It was the equal to any I have ever done in the fume-room and as good as any I have ever received from a professional custom photo lab.
I expect that there is not much difference between high-end flatbeds, and there are happy users for all of them. If I were to replace my scanner, I would go with another Epson, since I am familiar with the software and overall operation of the scanner. Had I started with a Canon, HP, Microtek or whatever else, I would go with a newer model of that one. If a device works satisfactorily, I see no need to learn a new one just to be different.
I scan directly into Photoshop CS2, using EpsonScan. Of all the scanning programs I have looked at, it gets in the way the least. What I demand in a scanning program, is to deliver a good scan that I can fine tune in Photoshop with a minimum of fussing with it.
In the past,when scanners were just 24-bit, low resolution and computers were slow, the wisdom was to do most of the processing in the scanning software. Now the tools in Photoshop are far more comfortable to use and provide excellent results with the scanning software being used for capture. I click on auto to get a decent starting colour balance, and manually set my black and white points for more detail than I may need. The final image is created from this in Photoshop.
I scan for the purpose the image is intended to do. While I don't buy that interpolating will ruin the image, I scan to the exact size I need. EpsonScan has a dropdown menu with all common sizes of paper and web images. It also will let you select the exact dimensions in metric, inches or pixels. If I am going to make an 8x10 print at 240 dpi, those are the selections I make. It will only let me crop the image to fit. When I tell Photoshop to "Print", the image will perfectly fit the paper with no resizing at all.
EpsonScan supports batch scanning, with individual settings for each image, so I could theoretically load in 24 negatives, and set it scan them while I sleep. It also supports DigitalICE which is a combination of hardware and software built into my scanner that does a very nice job of removing the images of dust particles and scratches at a great penalty in time. If there is little dust and no scratches, it is probably faster to use the clone tool and healing brush.
For overnight batch scanning, DigitalICE is wonderful. If you have an old computer, consider hauling it out of the attic and making it a dedicated acquisition machine for batch scanning. Set up the film with the settings and just walk away and do something else while it scans. A network card makes access to the scans from your main machine easy. I have a somewhat elderly machine that serves as my video, audio and image acquisition platform. It spends most of its time working - unattended.
If your time has no value and you really like dealing with obscure icons and hidden menus, Epson also bundles Silverfast software. Some people adore it, and if you love to fiddle within a Byzantine and counterintuitive interface, by all means try it. Both will give excellent results.
So what about scanning all my images at maximum resolution?
The initial question was aimed at transforming a huge number of analogue images into their best digital equivalents. What about scanning everything with the maximum amount of information that one can extract from an image?
Scanning is work. If you are skilled, you may be able to do a scan, process it and save it to your hard drive on average of one every 15 minutes. Do the math. Four scans an hour is 160 in a 40-hour workweek. This means 187.5 weeks to finish the job. That is over three and a half years, without vacations. Are you still enthusiastic?
To get usable scans, requires skill in scanning and skill in processing. Neither scanner nor image processing software has an automatic "Create Masterpiece" button. Most have auto-features, but often they produce such an awful image, that you spend much more time having to manually fix it. With some images they may save a bit of effort, but will never be able to read your mind and produce the image you visualize.
Viewed at 100% on a computer screen, the output of a scanner costing six to 20 times as much is evident. With a bit of simple image processing, most of the difference vanishes. When concentrated to 240 to 360 dpi in a print, it would take a very keen eye to discern any difference.
There will be those who will say that for film, you should by a drum scanner only. Well fine, if you are shooting for big budget corporate advertising posters. The learning curve is formidable and the device is not easy to use. Film is mounted on the drum using highly volatile scanning fluids.
Others will tell you that flatbeds simply will not do the job. This was true five years ago, but today, dedicated scanners may still have an edge, but not enough to justify the price if you are doing a personal collection of images for your own and your family's use. Flatbeds have the advantage of being able to scan anything including the cat. Just don't close the cover tightly!
There is now a follow-up question "Epson just announced that the new V700 series of scanners is capable of 6400 dpi. I was planning on a 4800 dpi scanner. How much better is 6400?"
Even Epson claims the figure is a mix of optical, mechanical and software factors. Simply, there is no standard for measuring and comparing scanners. Within Epson's line or Canon's line or HP's line, consider resolution to be more of a model number than an absolute value. If the company has a 2400 dpi model and a 4800 dpi model, you can be pretty sure that the 4800 dpi model has considerably more resolution than its little brother.
"Then what resolution do I need? I want to get everything out of my film."
The reply is "What are you going to do with the scans?"
Reply, "I want to archive them and don't want to throw anything away. I guess I will make prints of some of them."
If you have a letter sized printer, chances are you will see no improvement printing with a resolution above 300 dpi. At 300 dpi, a letter-sized borderless print needs exactly a 3300 x 2550 pixel image - no more.
If you were to scan a 35mm frame at 6400 dpi, you would get a file that is about 6400 x 9600 pixels. You would be throwing away 53,190,000 pixels every time you make a letter-size print. There is simply no way for the printer to use all those pixels.
Worse, you would be dealing with nearly a 350MB image if you scanned at a depth of 48-bits.
Big images are painfully slow to process, even on a high-end machine. Why scan at 48-bit? Substantial corrections can be done to the image without noticeable harm. With 24-bit you have only 256 steps between black and white in each of the three (red, green and blue) channels. With 48-bit this increases to 65536 steps. Even with heavy processing, gradients remain smooth in 48-bit.
If you own stock in a hard-drive maker, then I suppose that 350MB images seem rather nice. Three of them overflow a gigabyte of storage, and with 30,000 we begin to talk in terabytes.
How about DVDs? Well you can get at least a dozen on a DVD, so 30,000 images would only require something between 2000 and 2500 discs. Burning four an hour would take you an additional 500 hours not counting some means of identifying what scan is on what disc and how to find it. Are you still enthusiastic?
Consider how many of the images you will actually access, and consider the amount of space the others are hogging. Is it not better to just scan the ones you will be using on a daily basis, and scan the others as needed? Even though it means taking a break to find the film and do the scan, selective scanning and scanning on demand will save years of work and terabytes of storage.

I hurt myself dragging a dumpster and so did not want to have surgery again. My doctor sent me to Momentum Physical Therapy where they did Ultra sound and Astym therapy. I found it irritating and painful, but I was willing to try anything so I grit my teeth and beared it. I am having much less pain and will probably not have to have surgery. I am absolutely delighted. The people at Momentum are excellent, especially my therapists Jessie and Kayla, and the intern Hunter. I would recommend them to anyone.
Today I made my therapist's day, but only after she made mine. You see, I fell at the beginning of June. I have fallen in the past, but apparently I don't bounce back any more like when I was younger. I made the mistake of catching myself on two hands and one knee.
After going to 5 different appointments, a fracture was identified in Fargo in my right hand. but the full arm casting was unbearable due to my elbow being out of place in three places (unbeknownst to any of us). I went to the Park Rapids clinic, where they re-casted me properly, and splinted my left hand. Both hands had tears. When I got the cast and splint removed, they referred me to therapy with their Occupational Therapist, Denise Ristinen.
I was such a challenge since both of my hands were injured. Both were incredibly swollen everyday, and so very painful. I was not only unable to do much, if any, self care, I also was unable to do many of the usual therapy exercises since I could not help the other hand to do them. She continued to work with me to find ways to perform them in non-conventional ways in order to benefit from them.
Before I went to her, my normally positive nature slipped into becoming a weeper. She turned things around for me. Particularly when she tried Astym Therapy. I had not responded as she had hoped, although I was improving. I know that the intense swelling impeded my progress. Once I began to recover from that, she considered using Astym Therapy although my condition was different than they usually use it for.
When I saw her today, she dropped her jaw when I was able to make a fist with the left hand too. It isn't as tight as the right, but now that I can close those pinkies, I can hold things in them again. the difference is night and day, and I finally have hope that I may be able to recover function again.
I was beginning to wonder, but Denise always assured me that I was improving, and her encouragement has been so critical in my healing process. She didn't have much to work with, but when I brought her lemons she made lemonade and I love it. She turned me around. She said I will probably only need a short time more and I know she is right. What a blessing God gave me in her.

Given that in addition to the Bible opening with the revelation that God created all things which exist by the power of His word in Genesis 1:3-31, it is also revealed that God and His word are One and the same in John 1:1, Paul revealed that it takes hearing and believing God's word to enter into faith in God in Romans 10:17, Jesus Christ revealed that human life is ultimately lived on the strength of what God says in Matthew 4:4, God revealed that the key to success in all areas and arenas of life is to read, meditate upon and do according to His word in Joshua 1:8, God revealed that His divine operation mainly involves His performance of His word in Jeremiah 1:11-12, God revealed that His divine ways and thoughts are embodied in His word which performs perfectly because it is both inviolable and inerrant in Isaiah 55:8-11, and Jesus Christ revealed that the Father sent Him into the world to save mankind through the preaching of His word as the gospel of His kingdom in Matthew 4:17 and Luke 4:43, it is manifest that the Bible overflows with the evidence that Christianity is a wholly word-based and word-centered faith! The wholly word-based and word-centered nature of the Christian faith points to its deep prophetic roots which challenge Christians to consciously strive to build their faith on the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ!
There could be no better title for this Book than the name of JESUS because He is the One to whom the Father committed the gospel of the kingdom as the Savior of the world. The prophetic mission of this book is to unfold the fullness of the gospel of the kingdom of God which Jesus Christ preached, taught, exemplified, perfected through His death and resurrection as well as committed to all generations of His disciples.
The Long-awaited Return to THOUGHTLAND!
Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
11 And every tongue [frankly and openly] confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
In Romans 10:1-3, Paul lamented over Israel's misguided zeal while praying for their salvation saying, 'Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.' The inference that can be drawn from Paul's prayer for Israel is that though it is great to be zealous for God, zeal for God is never a substitute for the knowledge of God! As a matter of fact, the best zeal is that which is both informed and inspired by accurate knowledge of the mission or goal that is either to be pursued or already being pursued.
Since the casting out of demons, prophesying and the working of miracles in the name of Jesus Christ are carried out within the context of the gospel of Jesus Christ, it is obvious that the warning that Jesus issued in Matthew 7:21-23 is addressed to preachers, teachers, evangelists, prophets and other miracle workers who are guilty of the misrepresentation and/or mishandling of His gospel! The immediate implication of the warning that Jesus Christ issued in Matthew 7:21-23 unmistakably pointing to the misrepresentation and/or mishandling of His gospel is that while it is obvious that there is a growing multitude of preachers and believers across the globe, the reality is that there are some who are operating under the wrong assumption that they can preach and work the gospel in the name of Jesus Christ without doing so according to the Father's Will.
Based on the warning that Jesus Christ issued in Matthew 7:21-23, He declared that the gospel that He preached, died to perfect and commanded to be preached by all generations of His disciples is not only to be always preached in His name, but more importantly, always preached according to His Father's Will! The warning that Jesus Christ issued against the misrepresentation and mishandling of His gospel in Matthew 7:21-23 sends the clear message that it is only when His gospel is preached according to the Will of God that heaven accepts it as duly and acceptably preached and therefore, deserving of God's full backing and blessing! It is important to reiterate the revelation that heaven only considers the gospel duly and acceptably preached and deserving of God's backing and blessing when it is preached both according to God's Will and in the name of Jesus Christ! It is instructive to note that it is Jesus Christ Himself who warned that it is not (and never) enough that the gospel is preached in His name without due regard for His Father's Will!
While the misrepresentation and mishandling of the gospel of Jesus Christ can be directly linked to its not being properly-understood by some of its most vocal preachers, teachers and prophets or its deliberate substitution with the doctrines of men and the religious machinations of denominations that are strangers to Jesus Christ and His gospel despite zealously speaking in His name, the fact that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only means of salvation makes its misrepresentation and mishandling the greatest threat to the salvation of the world! However, while the misrepresentation of the gospel of Jesus Christ is tragic, the greater tragedy is that there is overwhelming evidence that this problem has since assumed trans-generational dimensions!
Added to the tragedy of the trans-generational misrepresentation and mishandling of the gospel of Jesus Christ is the weird irony that some disobedient preachers, teachers, evangelists and prophets such as the ones Jesus Christ referred to in His warning issued in Matthew 7:21-23 are still somehow able to produce spectacular results that confer on them the status of miracle workers which increases their ability to attract and retain multitudes of fanatical followers despite their failure to preach and work the gospel of Jesus Christ according to God's Will!
Paul's response to the Savior's fore-warning!
While it is a well-known fact that the gospel is ordained to be preached in the name of Jesus Christ, what seems not to be so well-known among Christians is the fact that there is a divinely-prescribed (or divinely-ordained) mode of handling the gospel of Jesus Christ. Ignorance of the divinely-prescribed mode of handling the gospel is extremely costly because the fundamental implication of the existence of such a divine specification is that the sacred wheel of the gospel of Jesus Christ is meant to be discovered and spun as given rather than reinvented in any way or by any means! In 1Corinthians 11:1, Paul both revealed that he adopted an imitative approach to the gospel and invited other disciples to join him in imitating Jesus Christ saying, 'Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.' Paul confessed that he deliberately adopted an imitative apostolic strategy!
• Best handled by imitating Jesus Christ!
The wisdom of Paul's adoption of the imitative approach to the gospel, his conclusions on the perfection of the gospel and invitation to other disciples to join him in imitating Jesus Christ is conclusively-proven by the revelation that Jesus Christ is the author and finisher of our faith who ensured the perfection of the faith in Hebrews 12:2(AMP), thus, 'Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]….' Since Jesus Christ has already perfected the faith, there is no aspect of His gospel that needs to be re-invented in any way, by any means or to any extent.
• Is it possible that imitation plays any part in the Divine Paradigm?
• What is the Divine Paradigm?
• What are the key elements of the Divine Paradigm?
• What is the theological trajectory of the Divine Paradigm?
• Is the Divine Paradigm sufficiently-known and understood or not?
These big questions clearly signal the fact that this book is intended to prepare the church for the unprecedented apostolic change that will soon sweep through the 21st century world! I have found the experience of searching the Scriptures and finding the right answers to these prophetic questions on the gospel of Jesus Christ so enlightening and enriching for time and eternity that I will not trade the privilege of the grace to write this book for anything in the world!
The Salvation and Warfare of the Gospel!
In Romans 1:16-17, Paul proudly celebrated the gospel of Jesus Christ saying, 'For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith." In Romans 10:10, Paul described how the life-transforming power of the gospel of Jesus Christ works saying, 'For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.' Both in Romans 1:16-17 and Romans 10:10, Paul was obviously savoring the joy of his salvation! Like Paul, all who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior will readily testify that nothing in all of life's most exciting and rewarding events and moments is comparable to the joy of salvation!
However, after boasting of the gospel of Jesus Christ and savoring the incomparable joy of his salvation, Paul's next move is bound to force all who may wish to join him in the celebration of the joy of their salvation to pause and ponder the shocking news that he next breaks on the same gospel by which they have not only been saved but also filled with boundless hope and joy! Paul knew that the gospel of Jesus Christ is powerful to save. Paul also knew that the gospel of Jesus Christ inspires the greatest hope in and gives the greatest joy to anyone who accepts it. Furthermore, Paul knew that it is impossible for anyone who is saved through the gospel of Jesus Christ not to contemplate life with renewed hope and inexplicable joy-the joy of the Lord! But, despite frequently savoring the joy of his salvation, Paul recognized the need for all followers of Jesus Christ to understand and embrace the paradox of the gospel. What is the paradox of the gospel?
In Ephesians 6:10-17, Paul used the analogy of the armor of God to aptly-describe how believers can best embrace the paradox of the salvation and warfare of the gospel of Jesus Christ saying, 'Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.' Any believer who fails to take up the whole armor of God obviously does so because he is living in denial of the paradox of the salvation and warfare of the gospel.
In 1Peter 5:8-9, Peter also spoke of the paradox of the salvation and warfare of the gospel in terms of the reality of ongoing spiritual warfare in the life of every Christian saying, 'Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.' Peter was obviously speaking with the benefit of his first-hand experience of spiritual warfare because in Luke 22:31-32, Jesus put him on notice that the devil was targeting him thus, 'And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail…' It can be concluded that Christianity is both defined and dominated by the paradox of the gospel in which salvation is always accompanied by spiritual warfare!
The reality is that faith makes whoever accepts the gospel of Jesus Christ both a believer and a warrior! In 1Timothy 6:12, Paul welcomed Timothy to the salvation and warfare of the gospel of Jesus Christ saying, 'Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.' The first lesson that the paradox of the salvation and warfare of the gospel teaches is that anyone who limits the preaching of the gospel to the salvation that it offers by remaining silent on the warfare that the acceptance of the gospel automatically triggers is guilty of the gross understatement and misrepresentation of the gospel of Jesus Christ!
Many Christians who are remarkable in their righteousness, spiritual fervor and courage as well as their understanding that the acceptance of the gospel ushers believers into spiritual warfare that is both inevitable and inescapable still tend to be easily defeated by the enemy because they make the fatal mistake of going to war based on the mere recognition that the enemy of the gospel is after them! The strategic problem is that while both the reality that Christianity involves personal engagement in the most intense spiritual warfare and the fact that the enemy of the gospel is after every child of God are well-known by Christians, it seems that many Christians are tempted to either wish away spiritual warfare or engage in spiritual warfare without the benefit of clearly establishing why the enemy of the gospel is so bent on destroying them. But, merely knowing that the enemy is after you is never a sufficient basis of waging an informed and intelligent war because it is impossible to defeat any enemy whose main reason for declaring war against you is unknown.
The knowledge of the enemy's main reason for declaring war against you is strategic because it enables you to understand how the enemy is thinking, rightly anticipate the mission-critical actions that the enemy is most likely going to take against you and know how best to countervail the enemy's thinking and strategies with the certainty of decisively defeating him!
In John 17:8, 14, Jesus revealed the enemy's main reason for targeting His disciples saying, 'For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came from You; and they have believed that You sent Me. I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.' The believer's guilt is his acceptance of the gospel of Jesus Christ! But, why does the gospel of Jesus Christ which espouses absolute truth, righteousness, holiness, love and peace enrage the world to the extent of those who accept it being hated and targeted?
In John 8:43-47, Jesus revealed why the world hates those who accept God's word saying, 'Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.' The revelation that flows from Jesus' words in John 8:43-47 and John 17:8, 14 is that the world hates those who accept the gospel of Jesus Christ because the gospel espouses truth to which the enemy of the gospel (who is the god of this world) is vehemently opposed due to the fact that he is both a liar and the father of lies!
The enemy of the gospel does not only hate the truth of the gospel, he also fears the gospel of Jesus Christ because it has the power to save souls and each soul that is saved represents a loss to his evil kingdom. Thus, the enemy of the gospel recognizes and reacts to the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ as the biggest threat to both his power and his evil kingdom and as a consequence, he counts anyone who accepts the gospel of Jesus Christ as his legitimate foe and target! As a matter of fact, it is in the best interest of all believers to understand both that the opposition of the enemy of the gospel to the gospel of Jesus Christ is the trigger of spiritual warfare and that it is their acceptance of the gospel of Jesus Christ by which they are saved that makes them the legitimate foes and targets of the enemy of the gospel!

Poli Sci Major Lists "Politics" as Interest on Tinder, Entitled to More Matches
May 1, 2019Patrick AlexanderThe Conch0
Patrick Alexander / The Triton
Jimmy McDecker sits in his Marshall College Upper Apartment every Tuesday, desperately swiping on three different dating apps. As the night wears on, he sags deeper and deeper into his cotton Beto O'Rourke shirt. Like Beto, Jimmy ends his Tuesday nights by conceding defeat.
"I really can't explain it. I was on the front lines in 2016," McDecker said. "When students marched on the freeway on election night, I had a friend who heard the car collide with one of the protestors on the five. That shit scars you. I think girls will see the maturity in that experience."
He scratched the back of his head as his eyes lit up at a fond memory. "I almost went out with this girl in my class on the Voting Rights Act. Super sweet, really pretty. I'd get so excited listening to her that I'd just cut right in and talk over her. Turns out she voted for Mike Huckabee, and didn't like that I was such a feminist."
I asked him whether he'd be open to dating someone of an opposing political philosophy. "We can disagree on policy. Supporting the child separation policy at the border doesn't make you, like, a bad person. It's just politics. Having someone emotionally distant from the policy is really important."
He gazed into the Robert Kennedy poster on his wall and sighed. "I think they might get scared by all the stickers on my laptop. It's a lot to take in."
When asked if he had any favorites for the upcoming election, he said he's "undecided on 2020. I like Beto, I like Bernie, I like Buttigieg. I think America just really needs a white male president right now. Our most crucial leaders have been white men. Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Carter. I think this political moment, in which so many different groups have been marginalized, needs another one of those crucial leaders."

I just wanted to use this space to express my genuine sadness to see this semester come to an end. I've been teaching this course for 3 years now (though this is my first time coordinating it), and I have never had such buy-in to the blog before. To have this durable record of such diverse and informed pieces of writing by my students – well, it's hard to express how gratifying this is. I will consider myself fortunate if I have a group that is even half as engaged as this one was. And by the way, it's worth noting that a large fraction of my students were 3rd year students. My deepest thanks for making this website so wonderful !
I came across this post while scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed today, and was pleasantly surprised to learn of a new book that was released just last month!
"Unseen City: The Majesty of Pigeons, the Discreet Charm of Snails & Other Wonders of the Urban Wilderness." – the title says it all, doesn't it? Urban synanthropes, urban adapters, they're all here! Check out the trailer below!


Home » News » It's Been A Great Year!
October marks the beginning of a new fiscal year for CCVA, and a nice opportunity to reflect on the past year.
In particular, we'd like to thank our many friends and supporters– particularly CVAs who served as enthusiastic ambassadors, encouraging their peers to pursue certification this year. Your advocacy was a major factor in exceeding our certification registration goal in 2016!


Students take turns trying to recreate some of the printed tangram shapes focused on rotation objects in 2D.
Take turns trying to recreate some of the coded plans (Iso Cubes) into the isometrics that they represent.
Create a bottom floor for consisting of nine white snap cubes that get taped to the base of the plastic box using the double sided sticky tape.
To ensure the bottom floor created above is secure, you might want to add additional tape that connects from the base of the box to the sides of the snap cube floor.
Build enough cubes so each pair of students has a cube, plus a few extra.
One student in the pair creates a shape made of 5 snap cubes then gives it to their partner.
The other student draws all sides and top view of the shape on the plastic cube using a dry erase marker that is a different color than the snap cubes that make the shape! The student then writes the number of snap cubes on the clear plastic cube and has their partner check the drawings.
An instructor or TA must also check the drawn views. Otherwise the pair of students that they give it to will be confused (even good students need to be checked, since they get over confident).
Students take out the shape they used to create these views and hide it.
1st pair of students pass the cube with orthographic views to the other pair and have them build the original shape from the views.
For the next week have them repeat this activity using increasing number of blocks up to about 10 snap cubes. Adding just 1 block can be difficult, especially since students always try to make it challenging for their classmates.

When we did the second drop test, we noticed that the screw for the y-chain pivot mount had popped out and was sitting at the bottom of the box. This could be because we have to loosen the screw a lot to get the chain to pivot and there a just not many threads holding it. We could re tighten the screw after we pivot it but that may not be ideal for customers. We could also use a longer screw, but that may add to the BOM. I wouldn't recommend getting rid of the washers either since the spring can get sucked into the screw hole with out a washer.
MikeR triaged this task as Normal priority.
@MikeR Is this for the y chain pivot mount or the y chain pivot?
@west I believe it is for the y-chain pivot.
This is good and now merged into master.

If you have been following me on my Instagram page ( Shahnazislam_) you will no I have been doing the Water Challenge for a while now. I started couple of Months back and acutely did it for a whole Month. All I can say is WOW I noticed a massive difference. When I first started, I did have headaches and run to the loo so often but that's all normal as the body is getting use to a new change. I never drink much water so that was a massive change for me and my body.
On my second week I realised how energetic I was. I hardly complained about being tired. The best was my Skin, that changed so drastically. I have super dry Skin, nothing ever works to make it smooth. But the water challenge really helped hydrate my Skin. I noticed it the most when I applied my Make Up. That really changed my Skin game. When people specially Beauty experts say that drink water and do a regular Facial regime, they mean it you really do see a massive change. I totally go by that now.
After a Month of drinking the water I stopped as my hubby had an op and I got so busy with Family and looking after kids & hubby I acutely forgot to drink my 2 litre. I went back to hardly drinking anything. Omg that really took me back to bad skin and getting so tired after everything I did. That was really a good test for me as I noticed how my Skin and Body reacted to just drinking water to not drinking water.
Now for those who ask me is it good? Does it really work? Yesssssssssssssssssssssss is my answer. It really does change you. You have to be drinking Water constantly to see a difference. You cant just start then stop for two days then start again. It wont work. You have to stick to and have it regularly.
Ok so when starting a 2 litre Water Challenge, I would recommend having a 2 Litre bottle ready and with you all the time. That way you know how much your drinking plus you have it in hand to always remember to sip away. Don't forget there are so many other benefits to drinking water.


This was one of the first things I ever learned to make. Fried bread and egg, yes. Good breakfast (if a little ott). But cut a square (or circle) out of the bread, and drop the egg into it, and you suddenly have magic. Children love this (I know I did) – they are fascinated by it and love to dip the bread into the golden yolk. I remember making this on seaside trips, for parents' birthdays, and just because I could!
Its wonderful as breakfast, but its also awesome for a light supper (with a salad of tomato and onion perhaps), or even a late snack whilst watching the World Cup! Its very satisfying because there is something playful about this meal – but its also really really tasty.
If you can, please try and make this with an organic egg. Because the ingredients are so simple: bread, egg, butter and seasoning, it is imperative that you use the best quality ingredients. An organic free range egg is a thing of beauty. Its yolk is a golden orange, and the taste is completely totally eggy. The white is bright and tastes clean and clear. These may cost more, but they are so worth it. The creature that gave you her egg is living a good life, rather than battery raised chickens, and you can taste that lack of stress and sadness in the egg. When I do eat animal products (egg, milk, cheese, etc) I do try to get the organic, free range variety. Not only are there stronger protections in place for the animals to ensure that they lead happy lives, but quite simply, the taste cannot compare. It is just so much better. I would rather have one egg in the hole every two weeks, and have it taste 20 times better. Its about the choice, but its also about my sensual pleasure.
Take the bread, and cut a hole in the centre. I usually make a square, but you could cut a circle, or even use a cookie cutter to make an interesting pattern.
Butter the bread on both sides, as well as the cut out square.
Sprinkle a tiny bit of salt and pepper over the bread.
Place bread on a non stick pan, over low heat. Let the bread fry/toast in the butter on both sides, until browned to your liking.
As soon as both sides of the bread are brown and toasted (dont forget to flip the cut out square!), crack the egg into a pouring cup measure. Salt and pepper the egg.
Take a small amount of butter and drop it into the open hole in the bread. With your spatula, lift one side of the slice of bread, and pour the egg white through the hole. The lifting will allow the white to flow around the edges of the bread. Try and pour as much of the white out as possible, creating a layer of egg white on the bottom side of the bread. Once all the egg white has been poured through, gently pour the egg yolk straight into the hole. Let the yolk cook for as long as is your preference. I personally like it a little liquid, but also slightly squidgy.
Salt and pepper just before serving.

Horse Racing in Asia
Horse racing in Asia seems to have taken a step back in time if we consider the rich genetic resources of the continent with respect to equine species. Martial races used horses for farming and transport, apart from in war, and new breeds were brought in from exotic parts of the globe at regular intervals. However, it was left to the British to introduce modern horse racing to Asia.
They did this principally in what is now India, and concentrated on providing racecourses, stables, and training infrastructure in the cities of Bombay (now Mumbai), Calcutta (now Kolkata), Poona (now Pune), and Bangalore (which could soon be renamed Bangalooru). The hilly tracts of Ooty (now Ootacamund) were also a site for a racecourse, maybe in deference to the familiar weather!
The renaming of all the places where the British established horse racing is symbolic of the reaction to foreign rule after India became independent. Horse racing also became a victim of fervent nationalism, and the sport spent most of the second half of the 20th century in the doldrums in India. The British had used the sport largely for their own enjoyment, and only a few wealthy members of the local communities were ever able to participate in horse racing events. The lay public was intentionally excluded from enjoying events, and they reacted with anger and neglect when they came to power.
Illegal betting rings throng Indian horse racing centers. The stewardship is of questionable standards, and the purses are miniscule in dollar terms. Stables are archaic, and the tracks and grounds of racecourses suffer from low investment and decay. It is nearly impossible to negotiate the bureaucratic procedures to bring in thoroughbreds from other countries, and top jockeys rarely visit the country. Hong Kong and Singapore are now way ahead of Indian horse racing.
This could change soon. Just as India and China now rule the world in new economic growth, the same transformation is possible in horse racing as well. Indian politicians have manifested a great deal of interest in bringing Formula 1 events to the country, and it only remains to enthuse them in the profits and pleasures of horse racing!

Third Time Lucky for Armenia and Turkey?
With a speed that is surprising almost everybody, Armenia and Turkey have started a process towards normalizing relations and opening their closed common border. The initiative has already produced one good outcome: direct flights will be resumed between the two countries in February. But there are still many ways in which it can unravel.
In twenty-first century Europe, the failure of modern Armenia and Turkey to establish relations looks like an unhealthy anomaly. When the Soviet Union ended, Turkey recognized newly independent Armenia but stalled on opening diplomatic relations. Since then the two countries have twice tried and failed to do a deal, in 1992-3 and 2007-10.
Thomas de Waal
De Waal is a senior fellow with Carnegie Europe, specializing in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus region.
Both those initiatives failed because of the claims of Turkey's kin state and ally, Azerbaijan. In April 1993, Turkey closed the border with Armenia after Armenian forces occupied the Azerbaijani region of Kelbajar during the first Karabakh conflict.
In 2010, Turkish prime minister—as he then was—Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stepped back from endorsing the two protocols signed by the two foreign ministers the year before in Zurich, again in solidarity with Azerbaijan.
Could it be third time lucky in 2022?
The chief reason for optimism is that Baku is dropping its objections. When Azerbaijan recaptured the occupied regions in the war of 2020, Turkey's formal reason for freezing relations was removed. Russia, which was equivocal about the Zurich Protocols process is also not standing in the way.
The Armenian and Turkish envoys held their first meeting on January 14 in Moscow. That raised a few eyebrows; the two sides are perfectly capable of meeting without any mediation and the Russia government has never been involved in this dialogue before, but it means that the Russians have a stake in the success of the process.
The new talks are a top-down process, led by Turkish President Erdoğan and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. Both have identified a national interest in it working. Neither, however, is a consensus-seeker, neither is consulting widely or reaching out to those with expertise in previous negotiations. The main Armenian negotiator Ruben Rubinyan is just thirty-one, with no experience in this brief, but happens to be a close confidante of Pashinyan.
The leaders thus far seem to be without a communications strategy to win over doubters. In Armenia, bitterness against Turkey is still raw because of Turkish military assistance to Azerbaijan in the war of 2020. As elections approach in Turkey, Erdoğan will be wary of alienating his ultra-nationalist de facto coalition partner, the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), by seeking rapprochement with Armenia.
If the negotiations fail, it is most likely to be due to the Azerbaijan factor.
Although Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev welcomes the talks, he also wants to extract concessions from Armenia at its point of greatest weakness, following its military defeat in 2020. The Baku authorities want as much sovereign control as possible over a restored road and rail link connecting western Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan across Armenia, a route they call the Zangezur Corridor. If the Azerbaijani and Turkish presidents agree that securing the corridor over Armenian objections is a precondition for normalizing relations, the talks could fail.
The broader economic considerations suggest this could be a win-win. A consensus deal to reopen all the roads and railways closed by the Karabakh conflict of the 1990s would make Armenia and Azerbaijan the connecting point in a web of railways between Moscow, Istanbul, and Tehran.
Many studies have shown that Armenia would benefit hugely from seeing its western land border reopened, giving it much easier access to both Turkish and EU markets.
It is vitally important to stress one point: we are talking here about Armenia-Turkey normalization, not about reconciliation. A huge dark shadow hangs over this process: the deportation and extermination of almost the entire Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire in 1915-16, the mass atrocity that most of the world calls the Armenian Genocide, but the enormity of which the Turkish government barely acknowledges.
No government in Yerevan has made the recognition of the Armenian Genocide a precondition for establishing relations. Much of the Armenian diaspora strongly disagrees. One prominent Californian Armenian columnist wrote on January 9, "An unrepentant genocidaire cannot be a trusted party with which one can negotiate in good faith."
Others have their own reason to doubt. January 19 marked the fifteenth anniversary of the assassination of Hrant Dink, the editor of Istanbul's Armenian newspaper Agos.
Dink was a living embodiment of the best in Armenian-Turkish dialogue. He believed that the path to reconciliation and healing lay through the democratization of Turkey and an open dialogue in Turkish society about the dark page of its past that constituted the destruction of the Armenians. He worked to make this happen. But his own assassination—by a far-right nationalist, probably protected by elements of the security services— and the rollback of democracy in Turkey in the last five years have made that prospect much more distant. The continued detention—in open defiance of the European Court of Human Rights—of another champion of Armenian-Turkish relations, philanthropist Osman Kavala, is another indictment of the current Turkish regime's commitment to genuine dialogue.
And yet, a top-down political process is still better than no process at all. If the closed border reopens, that will in and of itself stimulate thousands of people-to-people connections between Armenians and Turks. This is an initiative that, however flawed, deserves wide support.

Rates are always a hot topic, but especially when there are significant increases combined with a thin housing inventory. We have seen a steady increase in rates since last fall when you could find the average 30-year rate hovering somewhere in the 3.875% range. The current 30-year average rate according to www.MortgageNewsDaily.com is running north of 4.6%. A 1% increase in rates can decrease a buyer's maximum qualifications or "comfort level" by 10%. Rising rates often create motivation for buyers who might otherwise hold off a while longer to move up their search. The goal may be to find the house they want at today's price and today's rate rather than risk further rising rates and prices. -Don Jarecki, Cross Country Mortgage.
Across the US, our housing market has finally reached a year of stability. While nationwide home prices are still rising in 2018, they aren't predicted to increase above 3.2%, according to experts. This figure is substantially lower than the 5.5% increase we saw in 2017. Overall, it's a good time to explore Ohio's real estate market without worrying about skyrocketing prices.

First-time mom, Hilaria Thomas Baldwin, is honoring her local military families by hosting a baby shower for 40 military moms-to-be whose spouses are deployed members of the U.S. Naval Submarine Base New London. The event is taking place on June 17, 2014 from 11a.m. to 1p.m. at The First Tee of Connecticut David & Geri Epstein Learning Center at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. Supporting sponsors include "Extra," Travelers, the Travelers Championship, The Mahan Foundation and baby bedding company Carousel Designs.
During the shower, the moms will enjoy lunch provided by Applebee's, win prizes, and have an opportunity to share stories and gain comfort from other military moms-to-be in the same situation. Each mom will receive an array of unique, high-quality products and gift items for mothers and babies that have been donated by numerous companies and the sponsors. From onesies and baby bottles to clothing, crib bedding, diaper bags and toys, the gifts will go a long way toward raising the spirits of the moms-to-be, many of whom would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience a baby shower.


One of the things that users often want to do within MapServer or other tools is to hook up to existing caches of high resolution aerial imagery, like VirtualEarth, Google, etc. to get an aerial basemap that is as high resolution as possible, preferably for free. This applies to cases other than serving web maps as well: for example, the EVS Islands blog has been using Google Earth imagery to derive datasets from for some time now, and is now acting as if there is a product that Digital Globe is selling which could fill this need.
Of course, many users also want a pony.
In some cases, the imagery you see in Google Earth is something you can't even buy for use online — so with all the money in the world, you might find yourself short a high resolution dataset, or so you might think.
It turns out that for some areas of the world, there is a lot of *public* imagery available. Instead of depending on commercial providers, and the restrictions they entail, you can turn this free datasource into a source for your own maps. OpenAerialMap has begun the task of collecting and collating these images for you, so you don't have to have your own WMS to see the latest data from the USGS dataset in your maps. (It's still in its early stages, but it's getting there.) Now, I understand that in the less enlightened parts of the world, this is not yet the case, but we're getting there, slowly but surely.
But what happens when you don't want a map, but instead want an image that you can include in your print-resolution magazine spread?
Open Source Software happens, that's what.
GDAL has the ability to read images from a remote WMS server, and treat them as it does any other data source: which means that it can take the images, and convert them to any other format, from JPEG2000 to GeoTIFF. And it doesn't even require any system dependencies for Windows or Linux: Just use Frank Warmerdam's excellent FWTools. FWTools wraps up all the tools you need to work with geographic formats, be they raster or vector, into one neat package.
Run the install script in the root directory.
Grab http://openaerialmap.org/static/gdal_wms.xml and save it to the root of your FWTools installation.
Open a command line prompt in the FWTools directory.
End result? A 10000 by 5000 mosaic of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International airport, using data loaded from Public Domain USGS aerial imagery — some from Ramsey County, some from the Twin Cities overflight, both higher than 1M resolution (.15 and .3 respectively) within the past year and a half — and the speed to create it is essentially as fast as your connection to the net.
You can try this at home, and once you have the image, you can do *whatever you want with it*: The data involved is all public domain, and there is nothing to stop you from doing anything with the data. You can convert it to another format, derive vectors from it, print it out on a giant poster board, etc. No attribution or other sourcing necessary, because the data is public.
OpenAerialMap is all about the sharing of data that you should be able to get access to anyway, and as you can see here, in some cases the data that you wish you had you have access to already — you just didn't know it yet.
MapServer: Patched shp2img to allow changing image size.
Even though they are minor changes, it feels nice to participate outside the OpenLayers/MetaCarta bubble.

As Conflict Worsens, Cicilline Leads More Than 70 Colleagues Urging President Obama to Resettle More Syrian Refugees
WASHINGTON – U.S. Congressman David N. Cicilline (D-RI) today urged President Barack Obama to increase State Department quotas so the United States can admit at least 100,000 refugees from the ongoing conflict in Syria. 71 members of the House of Representatives joined Cicilline's call today.
"The ongoing conflict in Syria has created one of the worst humanitarian crises in modern times," said Cicilline. "The United States has always stood as a beacon for those oppressed across the world, and it is critical that we do our part to assist in resettling Syrian refugees. I am proud that more than 70 members of the House of Representatives are standing with me to urge the administration to do more for those affected by the conflict in Syria."
The United States has resettled fewer than 1,500 Syrian refugees since the start of the conflict four-and-a-half years ago. Lebanon has absorbed more than a million refugees, increasing their population by a quarter; Turkey has taken in more than 2 million; Jordan half a million. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has registered 3.8 million refugees from Syria, and 7.6 million internally displaced persons and there are likely many more who have not registered formally.
Jennifer Sime, Vice President for U.S. Programs at the International Rescue Committee said: "We have not seen a refugee crisis like this since World War 2. With the Syrian region at breaking point, and with the refugee crisis now engulfing Europe, what we need right now from the Administration is robust support for Syrian refugee resettlement to the United States. With the scope of the crisis and the urgency of humanitarian need, this means at least 100,000 people."
The United States accepted hundreds of thousands of European refugees after the end of World War II, and following the fall of Saigon in 1975, it opened its doors to more than one million refugees from Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. Accepting 100,000 Syrian refugees would add only 0.0003% to the United States population. In comparison, Lebanon's population has grown 25% since the onset of the refugee crisis. While the Obama administration announced plans yesterday to accommodate at least 10,000 more Syrian refugees, many advocates believe this increase is insufficient given the enormity of the current humanitarian crisis.
"The United States has a long history of helping the world's most vulnerable people, but we have also faltered when faced with difficult decisions to allow refugees into the country. Let us not repeat the mistakes of the past," Cicilline said. "It is our moral duty, as a nation founded on the principles of human dignity and freedom to do all that we can to respond to this humanitarian crisis and to assist people who are fleeing unspeakable violence."
