Sharai's favourite time of the year is fall. A few months ago she asked me to shoot her engagement photos and we waited with anticipation for the leaves to turn so we could head out and have some fun with the beautiful natural backdrop of Autumn.
For the shoot they headed up the Wolverine Valley near Tumbler Ridge and spent the evening in laughter and romance. Sharai brought balloons, and some handmade creations to add charm to the photos.
While the property where Kealy and Mike got married was absolutely gorgeous, mother nature decided to step up her game, providing dramatic dark clouds that provided a great tonal contrast to the whites of the girl's dresses and the grey of the boy's suits. Fortunately it didn't rain until everyone was inside, and then only for a few minutes. Fortunately, the clouds didn't cover the whole sky, and, moments before the sun set it shone through a gap between the clouds and the land, creating a strip of fire along the horizon below the still-threatening clouds for a beautiful but brief moment after supper.
After last year's deluge weddings, this year has gone back to the usual perfect weather on weekends. The entire summer featured perfect Saturdays.
Of course, Kealy and Mike got married the first weekend in September, and so all bets were off. The weather was mixed, with dangerous looking skies. Fortunately, the rain held off for the wedding and for the formals, and I love skies like this. Here's part 2 from Kealy and Mike's wedding.
Typically, we chose soft, romantic music for these slide shows, but while I'm not going to say there weren't any romantic moments, the whole shoot was quite lively, with people climbing on things, pretending to toss the bride in the dugout, and, after a quick game of duelling posing, the girls charging the guys and trying to tackle them. Besides, as we were shooting the formals, Ashley had music playing in the background, which included things like 'I Believe in a Thing Called Love' by the Darkness, so, yeah, fun and upbeat suits.
There is something I've always loved about creating these slideshows for couples. Each image from the wedding holds so much meaning, wether it be the details painstakingly hand created or the the expressions captured during moments of intense emotion. In putting these moments for Catherine and Wesley together in series, and telling the story of the day and seeing such joy and love… well I can't help but smile too.
On the surface, Jeremy and Charity are a very reserved couple, but that's only on the surface, and still waters, the saying goes, run deep, and you can see the depth of emotion in the way his eyes well up when he sees her for the first time, the way she smiles when she looks at him. I loved spending the day with these two and being able to reach past his serious demeanour and tickle his funny bone, and to just watch the way they interacted. Much of that is captured here, in this Love Story slideshow.

Around the 1950s, when the computational revolution was on the peak, scientists were bombarded with a rare problem that wreaked havoc in their minds. At that time, not many had anticipated such as Understanding Heatmaps problem. Thus, there was no specific solution for it.
To fix this issue, new methods and techniques were required. However, despite putting the best of efforts, the problem still lingered around. But what was the problem exactly? It was a lot of data. The upsurge of computers made it easier to collect data, leading to the accumulation of large-scale datasets that necessitated large-scale analyses.
One of the results from this unexpected need of advanced analytical methods was the introduction of heatmaps. They were originated to use with taxonomical datasets. However, the application of heatmaps in other areas was quick and effective.
Heatmaps are considered as an advanced website tracking technique that shows colored reports developed depending on the user engagement and interaction with the website. With this feature, activities of website visitors are captured and assessed, based on the mouse movement, clicks, and scrolling movement.
The most engaged areas of the website are represented in bright colors, such as orange, yellow, and red. On the other hand, areas with low engagement are represented in green, purple, and other similar shades.
Why Are Heatmaps Important for Your Business?
Heatmaps offer mouse click activity information of visitors that can be effective in enhancing CTA buttons placement, appearance, and content.
They can help in improving visitor engagement.
Heatmaps can be helpful in refining element usability, such as images, heading, CTA buttons, web forms, and much more.
They can assist in customer acquisition and high conversion targeting.
With heatmaps, you can improve website navigation, design, usability, conversion potential, and scroll ability.
Mouse clicks are an important part of customer behaviour analysis and tracking. With this type of heatmap, you can get a clear understanding of the most and least clicked areas of your website. And with the data, you can easily enhance the less preferred areas and optimize the website accordingly.
Just as the name suggests, this kind of heatmap provides adequate data that tells the scrolling behavior of your website visitors. It defines the scrolling depth and will help in using the real estate of the website effectively.
This comprehensible type of heatmap lets you analyze and record mouse movements and clicks on the website. For an effective understanding of how visitors are behaving on your website and to which area they are scrolling the most, this type of heatmap will be a necessity.
And then, a map of every page element is created. After that, the activity data is collected. Every time a visitor does something on that specific web page, the heatmap software records it. For instance: if a person visits the web page and clicks on an image, the software will record that click and add it into all the other information collected from that page.
Thus, while viewing that web page in the dashboard, you can see the aggregate data of every unique visitor. And hence, while looking into the heatmap, you get to see which area is getting attraction and which isn't.
What Can You Gather from a Heatmap?
However, there seems to be not enough clicks on Contribute. And then, the Search button is getting a lot of attention. The video is even getting played a lot. Also, the social media links in the right-hand corner are not getting enough attention either.
In this way, by viewing where your visitors are clicking, you will get an idea for perfect optimization.
This image shows that users are not scrolling down enough to get more knowledge and information. The area colored in red is the scroll limit for users.
When Should You Use Heatmaps?
Redesigning a website can be a time-consuming and expensive task. And, the last thing that you would want is to redesign the site in such a way that it wouldn't work at all. Thus, graphic designers can use heatmaps to understand user behavior and analyze it for such graphic elements that convert effectively, like contrast, color, placement and more.
Regardless of how attractive and converting content, you are writing; you can never be so sure of whether your visitors are reading it or not. With scroll maps, you can easily figure out how long your visitors are scrolling. In this way, knowing if they are reading the content becomes easier.
And then, with click maps, you can even discover which CTAs are getting more click and which ones need rework.
A/B Testing turns out to be crucial bumps in your conversion road that can help understand whether your business is obtaining an adequate response or not. In this situation, heatmaps can provide usable and instant insights into what different activities visitors take place into different versions of a single homepage, landing page, or a blog post.
When you are testing by changing the copy, moving the button, or editing images, you can see how conversion rates are working and can comprehend which page is converting better than the other option.
With a heatmap, you can gain a precise and on-point indication of what exactly your visitors are doing on your website. This tool easily and quickly tells you whether users are clicking more on your images or CTA.
You can even look into the source of traffic along with several other analytical data. So, try using heatmaps on your website once and optimize it according to the needs of your visitors.

Q: Keep getting error "PAYMENTTABS_LINEITEM_AMOUNT_IS_MISSING" Has anyone tried to change the "fixed amount" of a "payment item" using the DocuSign rest API?
I'm using a template that's been designed and setup via the DocuSign web page.
The template consists of 2 template roles, one of which is the "Customer".  It contains a payment item in which I would like to pre-fill the dollar amount, payment description item code, and payment description item details.
I found this in the documentation under 'formulaTabs':
"<paymentDetails>" +
    "<lineItems>" +
        "<paymentLineItem>" +
            "<amountReference>\\*txtPayment</amountReference>" +
            "<description>" + polNum + "</description>" +
            "<itemCode>" + custId + "</itemCode>" +
        "</paymentLineItem>" +
    "</lineItems>" +
"</paymentDetails>" +

but, I'm not sure where to place it, I've tried using it within
<envelopeDefinition> </envelopeDefinition>

and
<text> </text>

But, I keep coming up with a PAYMENTTABS_LINEITEM_AMOUNT_IS_MISSING error.
I have a text field on the template labeled txtPayment (which I don't really need).
The payment item is labeled txtPaymentItem.
I'm open to using other means if necessary.
Thanks,

A: I am hoping that you are able to use Payment using WEBApp but struggling in using API, so the correct JSON structure to use DocuSignPayment API is,
"formulaTabs": [{
                "ConcealValueOnDocument": "false",
                "Formula": "([PaymentItem1]) * 100",
                "IsPaymentAmount": "false",
                "Locked": "true",
                "Name": "paymentsFormulaTab",
                "PaymentDetails": {
                    "currencyCode": "USD",
                    "gatewayAccountId": "a7dcd60d-d963-4a81-bc72-68b71aad2062",
                    "lineItems": [{
                            "amountReference": "PaymentItem1",
                            "description": "951900;Tims 6.2;4444;1002",
                            "itemCode": "base",
                            "name": "salesDeposit"
                        }
                    ]
                },
                "Required": "true",
                "RoundDecimalPlaces": "2"
            }
        ],
"numberTabs": [{
                "FontColor": "DarkRed",
                "IsPaymentAmount": "true",
                "Locked": "true",
                "TabLabel": "PaymentItem1",
                "Value": "2500.00"
            }
        ]

If you see above JSON structure, it has two tabs, formula and Number Tab and formula Tab uses the Number Tab reference. In this case, it refers to PaymentItem1. Hope above JSON will resolve your issue.

A: Thanks to Amit K Bist this worked to update a payment item tab after it's dropped into a template.

When creating a Template, add your Payment Item, select "Signer Entered" option under Payment Amount and put a value of 0.
Then capture the data label from the Payment Item.  It should look similar to this: PaymentCustom 5e7e552c-2d0e-4364-b4d2-bb1784330191
Then add this to your request body:
"<envelopeDefinition xmlns=\"http://www.docusign.com/restapi\">" +
    "<status>sent</status>" +
    "<emailSubject>Turner Pest Control - Termite Bond Quote</emailSubject>" +
    "<templateId>" + templateId + "</templateId>" +
    "<templateRoles>" +
        "<templateRole>" +
            "<name>" + custName + "</name>" +
            "<email>" + custEmail + "</email>" +
            "<roleName>Customer</roleName>" +
            "<tabs>" +
                "<numberTabs>" +
                    "<number>" +
                        "<fontColor>DarkRed</fontColor>" +
                        "<locked>true</locked>" +
                        "<tabLabel>PaymentCustom 5e7e552c-2d0e-4364-b4d2-bb1784330191</tabLabel>" +
                        "<value>" + txtPayment + "</value>" +
                    "</number>" +
                "</numberTabs>" +
            "</tabs>" +
        "</templateRole>" +
    "</templateRoles>" +
"</envelopeDefinition>";

How a Payment Item gets turned into a number tab is beyond me, but, it works!
I'm still working on updating the payment details via API.  Getting a Card declined error so I can't confirm if the payment details are getting updated.

Looking Into the Black Box
Posted by Donna L. Roberts, PhD in Advertising, Psychology
Influence, Media Effects
by Donna L. Roberts. Ph. D.
Researchers studying the psychology of consumer behavior have long struggled to identify the variables that comprise the proverbial black box of consumer decision making and advertising influence (Advertising Research Foundation, 1964; Baumgartner, 2002; Bearden, Netemeyer & Teel, 1989). Furthermore, personality researchers too, have endeavored to determine the many specific aspects of behavior that are influenced by the differing personality variables (Bosnjak, et al., 2007).
Practically speaking, the fundamental purpose of advertising is to unequivocally generate a response that advances sales and thus ultimately improves profits. Clearly businesses would not spend billions of limited corporate resources on an endeavor that would not at least attempt to significantly contribute to profitability.
Advertising is everywhere in the modern environment – on radio, television and computers, in magazines and newspapers, on billboards, on buildings, on public transportation, on the clothing, shoes and accessories of sports and entertainment figures and strategically placed in films, television shows and websites. Far from being a passive mirror of society and reflection of already established consumer needs, advertising exerts influence that is cumulative, often subtle and at least partially unconscious. If the average American is inundated with over 3000 ads per day (Du Plessis, 2008; Kilbourne, 1999; Vollmer & Precourt, 2008), which are theorized to influence and manipulate his/her behavior, then a thorough understanding of this powerful persuader is undoubtedly in the best interest of behavioral researchers, clinical practitioners and certainly the individuals themselves.
Understanding individual differences in response to external stimuli would contribute to a better understanding of both these differences and how the process of influence and persuasion work in our daily lives. More fully understanding how particular types of messages carry more or less influence with differing personalities could be useful in shaping more effective assessment measures and subsequent approaches to therapy and counseling that take personality into consideration, similar to the way in which one adjusts teaching styles and modes with regard to individual learning styles.

The Continuing Quest to Unlock the Mystery of Consumer Behavior
Posted by Donna L. Roberts, PhD in Psychology
Donna L. Roberts, Ph.D.
Consumer behavior is one of the most pervasive of human behaviors. Virtually every individual is a consumer at some level and aspects of consumer behavior occur daily in the lives of most people. Since human beings spend much of their lives consuming products and services – from houses, food and clothing to transportation, health and recreational services – it follows that consumer behavior represents an integral part of human behavior and cannot be separated or considered distinct from general human functioning. In short, many of the same issues that influence individuals' behavior as human beings influence their behavior as consumers. Therefore, the assessments used to study various aspects of human behavior – e.g., personality type assessments– are potentially applicable in the study of consumer behavior insofar as they assess, describe or predict those aspects of general human behavior that are relevant to the more specific behavior.
Much of the existing consumer related personality research was conducted from the 1950s through the 1980s and focused on identifying specific characteristics that explained differences in consumers' purchasing patterns. This early research (Advertising Research Foundation, 1964; Arndt, 1986; Evans, 1959; Jacoby, 1969; Kassarjian, 1979; Kassarjian & Sheffet, 1991; Koponen, 1960; Myers, 1967; Wells & Beard, 1973; Westfall, 1962), which used general personality measures to explain and predict broad aspects of consumer behavior, proved largely disappointing and inconclusive. The resulting failure to generate support for the intuitively logical assumption that individual differences influence consumer related behavior highlighted the need for new research to fill the existing gap by isolating more specific aspects of consumer behavior and more precisely defined variables.
While some of the early studies indicated potential for explaining and predicting certain consumer behaviors via personality traits (Bearden, Netemeyer & Teel, 1989; Bearden & Rose, 1990; Cacioppo, Petty & Morris, 1983; Calder & Burnkrant, 1977; Haugtvedt, Petty & Cacioppo, 1992), much of the research, instead, has been criticized for falling short of this goal (Bearden, LaForge, & Ingram, 2007; Blackwell, Miniard & Engel, 2006; Brody & Cunningham, 1968; Cohen, 1967; Horton, 1973a, b; Hoyer, MacInnis & Pieters, 2012; Kassarjian, 1971; Massey, Frank, & Lodahl, 1968), leaving a gap in the field of research between the variable of personality and the relationship to specific consumer behaviors. Collectively, these studies concluded that because personality represents the conglomeration of characteristics that determine general patterns of behavior, significant relationships are not likely to be found that reflect specificity to the extent of individual brand choice. Instead, it is more likely that significant relationships exist between personality and behaviors consumers adopt for approaching, modifying and reacting to the market environment (i.e., between the 'how' and 'why' of the consumer behavior and not the specific 'what') (Arnould, Price & Zinkhan, 2004; Nunes & Merrighue, 2007; Solomon, 2010). As a result of these identified problems, further research was proposed to determine the role of aspects of personality in consumer behavior.
With respect to the fields of consumer behavior and advertising, the study of personality has spanned the temporal and theoretical landscape from Sigmund Freud to modern theorists of personality, motivation and social psychology (Dichter, 1960; Endler & Rosenstein, 1997; Loef, Antonides & Raaij, 2003; Martineau, 1957) and yet, a significant gap in the knowledge still exists (Baumgartner, 2002; Bosnjak, Bratko, Galesic & Tuten, 2007; Nunes & Merrighue, 2007). One of the major criticisms of the early research relating personality to consumer behavior was the lack of theoretical foundation (Baumgartner, 2002). Specifically, critics point to the creation of so-called personality measures devoid of established theoretical rationale (Kassarjian & Sheffet, 1991).
Early on, advertisers sought research that would yield a direct linear link between a specific consumer type and advertising that would have immediate effect in the marketplace (Evans, 1959; Kassarjian, 1971). More current evaluative research of advertising effects acknowledges a much more complex and multifaceted set of factors involved in consumer decision-making and persuasion and thus employs a variety of techniques and measurements – including engagement tests, memory tests, persuasion tests, direct response counts, frame-by-frame tests and brand tracking to assess various aspects of consumer response (Moriarity, Mitchell & Wells, 2009). This perspective addresses the aforementioned criticisms that early research was too broad in scope and thus overlooked the various component factors that contributed to a resultant behavior.
The more recent consumer research seeks to both address the knowledge gap and circumvent the early shortcomings by applying established theoretical approaches in explaining individual differences in consumption behavior – i.e., approaches based in established personality theories (Harris & Lee, 2004; Harris & Mowen, 2001; McDaniel, Lim & Mahan, 2007; Mowen, 2010; Mowen, Harris & Bone, 2004; Mowen & Spears, 1999).

Cardinal sends message of support to Archbishop of Paris
Following the fire that engulfed Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris on 15th April, Cardinal Vincent wrote to the Archbishop of Paris Michel Aupetit to express solidarity and reassure him of the prayers of the people of England and Wales. In his message, the Cardinal writes:
'We have watched with shock and deep dismay the tragic fire which has so utterly damaged the beloved Cathedral of Notre Dame. Our prayers and tears have mingled with those of your people, and of people all over the world who recognise in Notre Dame a symbol of enduring faith and hope in our Heavenly Father, in his Son Jesus Christ and in our Blessed Mother, Mary.
'The Cathedral of your Diocese of Paris has long also belonged to our entire human family as is shown by the huge number of people who go into the Cathedral year after year. Your tragedy is ours also.
'Now I promise you the prayers and support of Catholics in England and Wales and, I am sure, of all people of good will in our countries. We offer our sympathy and support in prayer to the people of Paris and our deepest desire that Notre Dame should rise again to watch over your City and all its people.
'With my fraternal and warmest greetings at this deeply emotional moment,
'+Vincent Nichols
Archbishop of Westminster'

Mystery Scene reviews Eat What You Kill
Posted by admin on Mar 1, 2014 in Blog Posts | 0 comments
I love this incredibly well-written review by respected critic Hank Wagner in Mystery Scene Magazine:
After experiencing firsthand the negative effects of an "act of God" on the stock of a company he was touting (when that firm's charismatic leader dies suddenly of a heart attack), high-strung Wall Street analyst Evan Stoess is a little more proactive the next time he is close to a big score, murdering a famous but flighty game designer after shorting the stock of the designer's company. The obscene amounts of money he reaps as a result leads him to conclude that he has found the perfect business model. Unfortunately for him, however, shadowy characters wish to direct his actions to suit their own purposes.
Utilizing a thoroughly repugnant protagonist is a great risk, but first-time novelist Ted Scofield makes it pay off handsomely. Although loathsome, Stoess and his fragile psyche are fascinating, as his obsession with wealth and his uncanny talent for planning murders leads him into continuously deeper, darker moral waters. That Scofield does so with a generous amount of black humor (reminiscent of Donald E. Westlake's bravura performance in 1997's The Ax) makes Eat What You Kill an even better read, one you'll be pushing on friends throughout the course of 2014. — Hank Wagner
Why do I love this review? Mssr. Wagner understands that EAT WHAT YOU KILL is more than just a "financial thriller." It is a morality tale.
The protagonist, deeply troubled Evan Stoess, is indeed obsessed with wealth and willing to do anything to get it. He believes he'll be happier with money, that he'll finally fit in, that after a lifetime of envy and deprivation, he will finally belong. All he needs is money, and a lot of it. It's not greed, of course. It's ambition. It's talent. It's accomplishment. How do we measure progress, how do we measure success, if not by money?
"Greed is good," Gordon Gekko whispered in our ear. And we gasped. We scoffed. We told ourselves "I don't believe that." The enlightened among us blamed Ronald Reagan while sipping a five dollar caffè latte purchased through the tinted window of a Mercedes.
Twenty-seven years later, nothing has changed.
Kirkus Compares Evan Stoess to Hannibal Lecter
Posted by admin on Feb 16, 2014 in Blog Posts | 0 comments
With one humorous sentence, Kirkus has compared EAT WHAT YOU KILL's protagonist, Evan Stoess, to Hannibal Lecter, the psychiatrist-cannibal from Thomas Harris's books made famous by Sir Anthony Hopkins.
You remember Hannibal the Cannibal, right? He ate people. Literally, he ATE people. He ate people he didn't like, and he ate people at random, too (e.g, the census taker who once tried to test him. Hannibal ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti). With the exception of hunger, Hannibal didn't seem to have a motive for many of his murders, hence why I find the comparison to Evan Stoess to be, well, odd.
Perhaps the anonymous Kirkus reviewer was just trying to be clever. I'll give him or her the benefit of the doubt and go with that, and I'll leave the final judgment about the comparison to the readers.
Booklist reviews EAT WHAT YOU KILL
Launched in 1905, Booklist is a publication of the American Library Association that provides critical reviews of books.
I love this review because the Booklist reviewer, Stacy Alesi, found Evan to be sympathetic. Once that happens — once a reader starts to sympathize with my protagonist — I pretty much know that person is going to like EAT WHAT YOU KILL.
Evan is a difficult character to like, certainly. He does horrible things for the most mundane reasons (not to mention for money — but that's easier to understand, right?). But his troubled background provides context for his actions, and while not excusing them, readers often feel sorry for him and understand why he does what he does. Author Michael Sears went as far to say "…before you know it, you're rooting for a monster."
Several readers have made similar comments. One friend told me she felt guilty for cheering for Evan. Frankly, that's the highest compliment I can imagine.
Publishers Weekly reviews EAT WHAT YOU KILL

Fiction Review: Eat What You Kill
Stephen Frey fans will welcome Scofield's debut, a financial thriller that accessibly conveys the intricacies of a world in which a company can make millions on other companies whose stocks decline in value. New Yorker Evan Stoess, scarred by his time at a prep school where his less-than-fashionable attire earned him the denigrating nickname of Kmart, is obsessed with making as much money as he possibly can—and with rubbing his success in the faces of his teenage foes. He's prepared to do anything to achieve his goal. When fate scuttles a lucrative deal and hands him a setback, the resourceful and unscrupulous Evan is soon scheming again. Celebrity cameos—Jim Cramer and Jennifer Lawrence appear—don't add much, and the ending pulls a few punches, but readers will look forward to seeing more from Scofield, who has worked as a securities attorney and is currently a corporate lawyer.

In Eat What You Kill by Ted Scofield, Evan Stoess is a struggling young Wall Street analyst obsessed with fortune and fame. A trailer park kid who attended an exclusive prep school through a lucky twist of fate, Evan's unusual past leaves him an alien in both worlds, an outsider who desperately wants to belong. When a small stock he discovers becomes an overnight sensation, he is poised to make millions and land the girl of his dreams, but disaster strikes and he loses everything.
Two years later a mysterious firm offers Evan a chance for redemption, and he jumps at the opportunity. His new job is to short stocks—to bet against the market. But when the stock goes up and he finds himself on the brink of ruin once again, another option presents itself: murder. At a moral crossroads, Evan must ask himself—how far will a man go for money and vengeance?

Q: How to use laravel-jsvalidation with vite I had been using laravel-jsvalidation with mix, but now am trying to upgrade to vite. The problem is that vite only packages modules, and laravel-jsvalidation is not one.
For example, in order for laravel-jsvalidation to work, you must include the following items in the blade.
  <script src="{{ asset('vendor/jsvalidation/js/jsvalidation.js') }}"></script>
  {!! JsValidator::formRequest('App\Http\Requests\NewPatientQuickRequest') !!}

The first line (jsvalidation.js) depends on jQuery by using $.extend( $.fn, ...). The second line depends on the jsvalidation.js script and renders into something like <script> jQuery(document).ready(function(){ $.validate... })</script>.
So, the problem is that if jsvalidation.js is loaded as a module (i.e. with <scriot type="module"), the JsValidator is out of scope, and I get Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'apply')
I even tried sidestepping the whole vite process by including the scripts directly. Doesn't work.
  <script src="/js/jquery-3.6.3.min.js"></script>
  <script src="/js/jquery-ui-1.13.2/jquery-ui.js"></script>
  <script type="module" src="{{ asset('vendor/jsvalidation/js/jsvalidation.js') }}"></script>
  {!! JsValidator::formRequest('App\Http\Requests\NewPatientQuickRequest') !!}

Has anyone got this working?

Reflections From The Powder Room On The Love Dare
Author : Shae Cooke
Reflections from the Powder Room is a fun but thoughtful discussion of The Love Dare as seen through the diva senses of four diverse women. This unofficial companion guide exposes the real-life side of The Love Dare's 40-day challenge with good clean fun, kitchen-table wisdom, and painfully profound truth. You will enjoy the light and lively banter about The Love Dare book, but also about: Relationships--good, bad, ugly. Life and love--lost and found. Family life--functional and dysfunctional. Their quirky selves. Whether married, about to be married, divorced, or never been married, these conversations will keep you smiling long after you have closed the Powder Room door behind you.
Author : Cleveland McLeish
The play begins with God paying a personal visit to His prophet Hosea, who has begun to preach without compassion and love for sinners. It's not a very comfortable confrontation, but it ends with Hosea feeling a bit hopeful because God has decided to provide for him a wife. Hosea's enthusiasm soon dissipates when he discovers that his wife to be is a prostitute. He is devastated and struggles with the choice to obey God. Joshua, his father, has always supported his decisions and admires his commitment to God, but is extremely skeptical of this new command. How could God expect a Prophet to marry a prostitute? What would people think and what would be the ramification of such a union? Out of sheer obedience, or maybe rising curiosity, Hosea chooses to follow through and the events that transpire will take all involved on a journey of self-discovery, forgiveness, and unconditional love. The lessons to be learned are supernatural and universal as we get a glimpse and hopefully a clearer understanding of God's love for sinners.

The Respect Dare
Author : Nina Roesner
"A long and happy marriage." It sounds like the end of a fairy tale—an illusion that modern times have exposed. And it is, if marriage depends on a constant stream of romantic emotion, or even on copious amounts of time or money. Thank the Lord, none of those are necessary. Two thousand years ago, Paul gave women the key to a successful marriage, and it can be summed up in two words: unconditional respect. It's not popular. It doesn't sound fair. It can be hard to imagine. But it works. Nina Roesner has led countless women through this practical and life-changing journey, and in The Respect Dare she offers you the hope that so many others have found. Day by day, true stories and thought-provoking questions will help you apply biblical wisdom to the most important relationship in your life. The book is filled with stories of struggle and success, and many practical applications of respect that have dramatically impacted marriages. Give it forty days. Experience the intimacy God intended and discover what he can do in your heart and in your marriage when you choose to show respect his way.
Dare To Love 1 Corinthians 13
Author : Rose Publishing
The "Love Chapter" in the Bible is one of the most precious passages of all time. The kind of love portrayed in 1 Corinthians is true love, strong and determined--and it is not for the faint of heart. In this beautiful full-color 14-page Dare To Love booklet, you will read the full text of this chapter and understand the teachings and insights in depth. These days, love is a risky adventure requiring not only strength and character, but also a vulnerable, gritty commitment. Paul's famous passage on love, 1 Corinthians 13, is often quoted during weddings, but it has a far greater application to today's world. Dare to Love unpacks this meaty chapter without sentimentalism, examining and applying the hard work of loving another human being, a spouse, child, friend, or neighbor. Discusses the differences in the four kinds of love: Agape (unconditional, God-like), Philia (friendship), Eros (pleasure, sexuality), and Storge (gift-love between parents and children). 1 Corinthians 13 includes principles that bring healing and restoration to marriages and families today. This pamphlet is perfect for people who are engaged, married, or caretakers for the sick or elderly. It also goes well with the movie "Fireproof," the book Love Dare and other marriage enrichment books.

Review - - Beyond Just Us
Beyond Just Us
by Kimberly Kincaid
Publisher: Kimberly Kincaid
Remington's most cynical doctor is about to get upended by two little words: I do.
Tess Michaleson runs her ER like she runs her life—
no pretenses, no exceptions. As a single mother, she can't afford anything less. As a woman who's been burned by love? She can't believe in anything more. Her son and her job are the center of her world. That's all Tess needs.
Until Declan Riley falls into her arms…literally.
His tattoos and his Irish accent are enough to melt her panties. His diagnosis? That's enough to break her heart.
But Tess can help him get the care he needs…
All she has to do is marry him.
Declan knows he should keep Tess at arm's length.
What they have is temporary. Necessary. And he knows from experience just how dangerous getting close can be.
But the longer he's around the smart, sexy doctor and her son, the more Declan realizes close isn't enough.
He wants Tess. He wants it all.
Even if he has to do the one thing he swore he never would to have her.
If you've been reading my reviews, you know by now how much I've enjoyed Kimberly Kincaid's Remington Medical contemporary romance series. Kincaid wraps up the series with Beyond Just Us, another sexy, steamy, emotional powder keg that kept me eagerly turning pages from start to finish.
I adored Tess and Declan together. If you've read any of the books in this series, you know single mom Tess is the smart-mouthed, no-nonsense, hard-working head of the Emergency Department at Remington Medical who always goes the extra mile for her patients. She's also finally divorced from her slime-bucket husband when her book opens and not looking to jump right back into another relationship. But, hey, a solid friendship and some burn-the-sheets sex with the gorgeous Irishman who falls at her feet is not out of the question. Especially when said Irishman ends up as her marriage of convenience husband.
It's easy to see how Tess falls for Declan because, boy howdy, I was right there with her. The guy cooks, cleans her condo, is wonderful with her infant son, respects her career, sets her body on fire, and protects and defends her from her critics. Not to mention, he's a romance novel cover model (Yum), Connor's (Between Me & You) good friend from the Air Force, and a really good guy. And then there's the Irish accent. ::sigh:: I want a Declan!
But it's not all fun and games for these two. Kincaid has set some pretty significant obstacles in the path of their relationship and she tackles them head on. Both Tess and Declan have serious emotional baggage to unpack. Tess has a whole lot of trust issues (not surprising, considering her marriage) as well as personal insecurities seeded by her family. Declan, on the other hand, is struggling with a life-changing health diagnosis that has taken away his career and, possibly, his future. I like that Kincaid guides them into friendship and partnership while moving their romantic relationship forward. And I love how the community of friends from the other books, all of whom have benefited from Tess's guidance, gather together to now help her and Declan. It's a wonderful conclusion to a wonderful series and has my enthusiastic recommendation.
The books in this series do not have to be read in order, however, the characters all appear in all of the books. If you wish to avoid relationship spoilers, I'd recommend starting with book one, Back to You: A Bad Boy Workplace Romance, and continuing to Better Than Me: A Friends to Lovers Workplace Romance, Between Me & You: An Enemies to Lovers Workplace Romance, and Beyond Just Us: A Single Parent Marriage of Convenience Romance.
Because I love this series so much, I'm giving away a Kindle copy of one Remington Medical book (winner's choice) to a randomly selected person who comments on this post before 11:00 PM, May 20.

marriage of convenience I love the moment when they realize they've fallen in love.
pjpuppymom May 19, 2020 at 9:23 AM
Yes! That's so delicious, isn't it?
Laurie May 19, 2020 at 9:13 AM
Contemporary or historical, second chance romances are my favorite!
Another of my favorites!
I love all the emotional baggage that typically has to be addressed in a second chance romance.
I enjoy friends to lovers or enemies to lovers tropes.
Patricia B. May 19, 2020 at 5:08 PM
My favorite tropes are the wounded warrior and Beauty and the Beast, which can overlap. In a way, Beyond Just Us fits into the wounded warrior category. A serious diagnosis does change one's perspective and plans. We have dealt with two of them and reflection on how you have lived your life and how you want to proceed from there. Consideration of your partner's concerns and needs always (or should) factor into plans.
Pamela Devereux May 19, 2020 at 5:55 PM
I love a good second chance book.
Annette N May 19, 2020 at 5:59 PM
You have given me quite a bit to consider. This story certainly sounds like an emotional journey with lots of wonderful ups and downs. Thank you for this review.
I hope everyone is safe and sound and taking care.
robinb May 19, 2020 at 6:04 PM
I love the friends to lovers trope, but really ANY good story with wonderful characters keeps me interested. I've never read any "medical" romances...maybe I should try this one out!
dstoutholcomb May 19, 2020 at 6:22 PM
I love enemies to lovers.
I love second chance tropes best - they are just so romantic! But I also like friends to lovers, beauty and the beast type stories, and romances with people who have a disability. Probably for me, the deal make or break is I have to have character development that deepens as the story continues and I have to have steam!
Meg May 19, 2020 at 9:01 PM
I, too, love friends to lovers relationships, though like your other readers, I can get caught up in almost any well-written love story. But I have to say, PJ, your review convinced me we all need a Declan!
Glenda May 19, 2020 at 9:16 PM
Friends to lovers is my top closely followed by beauty and the beast
Eileen AW May 19, 2020 at 9:28 PM
Please don't enter me as I already have a copy of the book. Marriage of convenience or fake relationship are my favorites with best friend's sibling next. I loved this story and it might be my favorite of the series. BTW, I already claimed Declan as my book boyfriend!!!
Debbie Oxier May 20, 2020 at 2:21 AM
I love a marriage of convenience story! Two people agreeing to marry so they can have something they desire then falling in love and realizing they don't want the relationship to e nd.
Lil May 20, 2020 at 6:03 PM
My favorite is marriage of convenience. It is often blended with friends to lover trope or the enemies to lovers trope.

Мексички залив (,  је ивично море Атлантског океана. Залив је окружен копном Северне Америке и простире се између обала Мексика, САД и Кубе. Највећа дубина Мексичког залива је 4.375 метара. Залив је повезан са Алантским океаном кроз Флоридски мореуз између САД и Кубе, а каналом Јукатан повезан је и са Карипским морем.

Укупна површина Мексичког залива је око 1.600.000 -{km²}-. Почетак Голфске струје, топле и снажне атлантске морске стује, налази се у овом заливу. Област Мексичког залива често погађају урагани.

Мексички залив је настао пре отприлике 300 милиона година као резултат тектонике плоча. Базен Мексичког залива је отприлике овалног облика и широк је приближно . Његов под се састоји од седиментних стена и новијих седимената. Повезан је са делом Атлантског океана преко Флоридског мореуза између САД и Кубе и са Карипским морем преко Јукатанског канала између Мексика и Кубе. Због своје уске везе са Атлантским океаном, Залив доживљава веома мале плиме и осеке. Величина заливског басена је приближно . Скоро половину слива чине плитке воде континенталног појаса. Запремина воде у сливу је отприлике  (). Мексички залив је један од најважнијих региона за производњу нафте на мору у свету, који чини једну шестину укупне производње Сједињених Држава.

У априлу 2010. године дошло је до експлозије и пожара на нафтној платформи Дубоководни хоризонт због чега је дошло до цурења нафте и стварања нафтне мрље. Цурење нафте је трајало око 2 месеца пре него што је коначно заустављено. Овај догађај се помиње као највећа еколошка катастрофа у историји САД.

Геологија

Консензус међу геолозима који су проучавали геологију Мексичког залива је да пре касног тријаса Мексички залив није постојао. Пре касног тријаса, подручје које сада заузима Мексички залив састојало се од сувог копна, које је укључивало континенталну кору која сада лежи испод Јукатана, у средини великог суперконтинента Пангеа. Ова земља је лежала јужно од непрекидног планинског ланца који се протезао од северно-централног Мексика, преко Маратонског уздизања у западном Тексасу и планина Уашито у Оклахоми, и до Алабаме где се директно повезивао са Апалачким планинама. Настао је сударом континенталних плоча које су формирале Пангеју. Како тумаче Рој Ван Арсдејл и Рендел Т. Кокс, овај планински венац је пробијен у доба касне креде формирањем залива Мисисипија.

Геолози и други стручњаци из области науке о Земљи се генерално слажу да је садашњи басен Мексичког залива настао у време касног тријаса као резултат расцепа унутар Пангее. Расцеп је био повезан са зонама слабости унутар Пангее, укључујући шавове где су се Лаурентија, Јужноамеричка и Афричка плоча судариле да би је створиле. Прво, постојала је каснотријаска-ранојурска фаза раседања током које су се формирале раседне долине и испуниле континенталним црвеним коритима. Друго, како је расед напредовао кроз доба ране и средње јуре, континентална кора се растезала и истањила. Ово истањивање је створило широку зону прелазне коре, која показује скромно и неравномерно стањивање са блоковским раседом, и широку зону равномерно истањене прелазне коре, што је половина типичне дебљине од  нормалне континенталне коре. У то време раседања је прво створена веза са Тихим океаном преко централног Мексика, а касније на исток до Атлантског океана. Ово је поплавило почетни базен и створило Мексички залив као затворено рубно море. Док је Мексички залив био ограничен басен, прелазна кора која се спуштала била је прекривена широко распрострањеним таложењем Луен соли и припадајућих анхидритних евапорита. Током касне јуре, наставак рифтинга проширио је Мексички залив и напредовао до тачке да је дошло до ширења морског дна и формирања океанске коре. У овом тренутку, успостављена је довољна циркулација са Атлантским океаном да је таложење Луен соли престало. Ширење морског дна је престало на крају јуре, пре око 145–150 милиона година.

Током касне јуре до ране креде, басен који је окупирао Мексички залив доживео је период хлађења и спуштања коре која је испод њега. Слегање је резултат комбинације истезања коре, хлађења и оптерећења. У почетку је комбинација растезања коре и хлађења изазвала око 5–7 km тектонског спуштања централне танке прелазне и океанске коре. Пошто се слегање дешавало брже него што је седимент могао да га испуни, Мексички залив се проширио и продубио.

Касније, оптерећење коре унутар Мексичког залива и суседне обалске равнице акумулацијом километара седимената током остатка мезозоика и целог кенозоика додатно је потиснуло кору испод на њен тренутни положај око 10-20 km испод нивоа мора. Нарочито током кенозоика, времена релативне стабилности за обалске зоне Залива, дебели кластични клинови су изградили континентални појас дуж северозападне и северне ивице Мексичког залива.

На истоку, стабилна платформа Флориде није била покривена морем све до најновије јуре или почетка времена креде. Јукатанска платформа је настајала све до средине креде. Након што су обе платформе потопљене, формирање карбоната и евапорита карактерише геолошку историју ове две стабилне области. Већина басена је током ране креде била окружена карбонатним платформама, а његов западни бок је био укључен током периода најновије креде и раног палеогена у епизоду компресивне деформације, орогенезу Ларамида, која је створила Сијера Мадре оријентал у источном Мексику.

Године 2002, геолог Мајкл Стентон објавио је спекулативни есеј који сугерише порекло утицаја за Мексички залив на крају перма, што је могло да изазове изумирање перм-тријаса. Међутим, геолози са обале Мексичког залива не сматрају да ова хипотеза има било какав кредибилитет. Уместо тога, они у великој мери прихватају тектонику плоча, а не удар астероида, као узрок настанак Мексичког залива, као што је илустровано у радовима аутора Кевина Микуса и других. Ову хипотезу не треба мешати са кратером Чиксулуб, великим ударним кратером на обали Мексичког залива на полуострву Јукатан. Мексички залив се све више сматра заливом иза јурског Назасовог лука у Мексику.

Године 2014, Ерик Кордес са Универзитета Темпл и други открили су базен са сланом водом  испод површине залива, са обимом од  и  дубине, која је четири до пет пута сланија од остатка воде. Прво истраживање локације било је без посаде, користећи Херкулес, а 2015. године трочлани тим је користио возило за дубоку потапање Алвин. Тај локалитет не може да одржи било какав живот осим бактерија, дагњи са симбиозом, цевастих црва и одређених врста шкампа. Назван је "Џакузи очаја". Пошто је топлији од околне воде ( у поређењу са ), он привлачи животиње, али оне не могу да преживе када уђу.

Aeration&Mixing have recently despatched two more Nikuni KTM25N pump packages to a client in the waste water treatment sector where they will be installed as fine bubble generation units in DAF separation systems.
One of the key benefits of the Nikuni KTM series of fine bubble generating pumps is the evenness and very consistent fine bubble discharge, where the average fine bubble diameter will beapproximately 25µm.
form a dense flotation cloud, ideal for consistent separation. As the fine bubble discharge is so even, the recirculation flow rate can be set lower than with comparable systems, saving both installation and running costs, yet providing conditions for excellent consistent separation.
When the added benefit of no compressors or blowers being required is added into the cost-benefit equation, Nikuni's well-established claim of being able to provide a consistent fine bubble generation for DAF installations at circa 1/3rd of the energy of comparable systems makes good engineering and economic sense.
