Most people would probably agree that unity is important.
Unity has become a well-used motto in politics and religion. There are the United States of America and the United Kingdom. Germans sing in their national anthem about unity. Political parties stress unity. We are familiar with the slogan "United We Stand." We hear about the United Church of Christ, the United Church of Canada, the United Methodist Church, and the Uniting Church in Australia, to name just a few. We use illustrations to show how important unity is. Take, for instance, a match and break it. This is easily done, even by a small child. Tie 10 or 20 matches together and try to break them. It is very hard, if not impossible.
God's unity is reflected in the creation of marriage. Two persons, different in gender, become one in marriage (Gen. 2:24; see Matt. 19:5, 6). The unity expressed in marriage is supposed to be a reflection of the unity in the Trinity.Unity is more than a union of two or more persons of the same kind. Unity does not deny diversity. The miracle of divinely ordained unity is that people with vast differences are joined together and form a new "organism" in which they are considered equals.
These followers of Christ have come and are still coming from various backgrounds. They are different. Diversity must not be denied. But they have been made one through Jesus who has broken down all barriers of gender, nationality, race, status, learning, and what other barriers there may be (Eph. 2:11-22; Gal. 3:26-29). Diversity is important, but unity surpasses diversity. Now believers form one body, Christ's body, where He is the head (Eph. 1:22, 23; 4:4; Col. 1:18). They use their various gifts for the building up of the church and for its mission (Eph. 4:11, 12; 1 Cor. 12). Although their functions may vary, they are equal before God who shows no partiality. "There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all" (Eph. 4:4-6).

Various Artists - Guardians of the Galaxy (Deluxe Soundtrack Edition)
Gatefold double LP
Songs from the motion picture, original score by Tyler Bates
Collector's Edition double LP Guardians Of The Galaxy soundtrack vinyl includes Awesome Mix Vol. 1, the collection of songs featured in the film. Music plays a major role in "Guardians Of The Galaxy" as the 1970s songs featured in the film are part of the storyline in a unique way.
Explaining how the songs come to play in the story, director James Gunn says, "One of the main story points in the movie is that Quill has this compilation tape (Awesome Mix No. 1) that he got from his mother before she died that she made for him. It was of songs that she loved, all songs from the 1970s, and that's the only thing he has left of his mother and that's the only thing he has left of his home on Earth. He uses that as a connection to his past and to the sadness that he feels of having left all that and lost all that." As well as, the complete official original score from the film as composed by Tyler Bates.
From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team, the Guardians Of The Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe.
To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand with the galaxy's fate in the balance.

The Consorci Sanitari del Maresme (CSdM) is a public healthcare consortium constituted in 1999. This Consortium is formed by representatives of the Government of Catalonia (Generalitat de Catalunya) and the Municipal Government of the city of Mataró. The CSdM was founded by merging two historical healthcare entities with old installations inside the city and its activities started with the construction of a new hospital that was built between 1995-1998.
The Consorci Sanitari del Maresme (CSdM) has suffered from a lack of investment in the last 8 years due to the economic crisis that affected Catalonia and Spain since 2010. From 2010 to 2015, the public health budget approved by the Parliament of Catalonia was reduced by 18% and the capacity of investment of CSdM declined. More than 50% of the equipment was purchased in 1999 when the new hospital opened, 18 years ago, and they have become obsolete. It will be a big challenge for CSdM in the next years to meet the increased demand on healthcare services, with fast aging population, and to improve and renew the technical equipment in this poor economic situation.
In 2016 the Consorci completed a technical audit to determine the medical equipment and the technology that is becoming obsolete and the amount it will need for renovation of clinical equipment in the near future. It has extensive information on the state of all its equipment, and the result of the audit was that it will need to spend around 8 million euros in the next 6 years. That sum is needed to replace old, obsolete or deactivated equipment and to improve the technologic level and the safety of the hospital. The financial resources of the Consortium can meet less than 30 per cent of this sum.
The Consorci is proposing to buy two groups of equipment that are urgently needed. Both investments will renew obsolete/outdated devices.
The aim is to replace one of the digital radiology stations at the X-Ray Department. A work station of the last generation is needed, a system with high range, multifunction, and with fluoroscopy support. This radiology workstation will replace current equipment that is damaged and outdated.
The aim is to replace 3 compact anesthesia stations in the three main operating rooms in the Department of Surgery. Each one of these stations is fully equipped for complex anesthetic procedures, and has monitoring controls, breathing system, and all the modern anesthesia technology. They will replace the 3 outdated stations and improve the complexity and safety of the surgical procedures.
The Nando Peretti Foundation, Delegació a Catalunya has awarded a grant to cover partially the costs for the purchase of one Digital Radiology X-Ray system and three Anesthesia system for operating rooms.

Tricentis Customer Success Program Transforms Software Testing into a Catalyst for Innovation
Mountain View, CA — April 25, 2018 — Tricentis, provider of the industry's number one Continuous Testing platform, today expands its global Customer Success Services to support the company's 800+ global customers on DevOps and digital transformation initiatives. Recognized by the three top industry analysts as the leader in software test automation, Tricentis' Customer Success Services guides customers and partners worldwide to rapidly realize the value of advanced automated testing.
Traditionally, legacy software testing technologies have failed to keep their promise of providing sustainable and scalable automation.

"Digital transformation is not just a business strategy, it requires the transformation of entire organizations and the products they support," said Plaichner. "Enterprises simply cannot afford to continue to rely on outdated technologies and processes when there's been such a sea change in what's required for success. At Tricentis, we're enabling Global 2000 organizations to eliminate the roadblocks around software testing and converting testing practices into a true business asset and catalyst for innovation."
Tricentis' Customer Success Services organization will be on-hand at Accelerate SF 2018 in San Francisco, CA, on May 7-8. They will be joined by Tricentis customers who will share success stories on how they harnessed the power of testing to deliver better products and services to their own customers.

Mateya Haintz threw her personal best in hammer throw. (CONTRIBUTED)
Maple Ridge athlete scores gold at national track and field championships
Mateya Haintz earned personal best and gold in hammer throw.
A Maple Ridge athlete brought home a gold medal from the Canadian under-20 track and field championships in Ottawa.
Mateya Haintz, a Maple Ridge secondary student, threw a personal best of 52.42 metres in women's hammer throw, earning gold and elevating her to a 9th place ranking in her age group in Canada.
"When I heard it was 52, I was shocked. I couldn't believe the throw went that far," said Haintz.
The Canadian championship is the highest level of competition Haintz has competed at.
She wasn't sure what to expect, but once she arrived, it wasn't nearly as intimidating as she thought.
Bradley Graham, Haintz's coach, said Haintz's dedication to track immense.
"She's such a hard worker, and every year she continues to improve."
Haintz has one more year of high school left, and hopes to attend university on a track scholarship. She doesn't have a particular school in mind yet, but said it will likely be in the U.S.
Haintz and Graham train four days a week to practice technical aspects of hammer throw.
"He's always been there to push me since I was 12, so we have a good bond with each other because we train so many days a week. He's there to give me the best criticism," Haintz said.
She used to do more events in track when she was younger, but once she began training with Graham, she got more interested in throwing hammer.
"The team, the people, everything is great. The actual throwing of it feels amazing," Haintz said.
Since the school year is over, Haintz competed at the track competition as an unattached athlete. During the school year, Haintz competes for the Maple Ridge secondary track and field team.
To qualify for the Canadian championships, Haintz threw over the standard 47 m needed to a get a spot competing in hammer.

There is an unpleasant fish invading the pure waters of Scotland, polluting the atmosphere and creating a bad stink, a very unpleasant smell somewhere between foul fish and utter absurdity… It is called the Salmond.
Someone or other is out to catch this fish on the fly and gaffe it and be rid of it for the benefit of all true Scotsmen. First, the governor of the Bank of England says that if the Salmond wants an independent Scotland he'd better find a currency and a central bank to go with it.
The Salmond's problem is that he doesn't have either, and even if he had an answer over the currency question, the governor would rather like to have our £43 billion back for bailing out the utterly corrupt, bust and dreadful Royal Bank of Scotland, for starters.
Then up jumps Jose Barroso, an unelected EU official from another bankrupt nation, and makes it clear he doesn't want an impoverished bunch of spongers dressed in kilts trying to apply to the equally bust EU. What neither of them realise is that the grain of history is on the other side of the tracks.
Let me explain: the more a bunch of unelected, tax-free-salaried and pensioned bureaucrats try to seize undemocratic power by stealth and deception, across a whole sub-continent, the more they create the idea among the regions that secession might be a good idea. So along come the Catalonian, Basque and Bavarian secessionists et al, followed now by this foul-smelling Salmond.
But nationalist movements are rising too, back towards nation states and accountability of elected representatives – countries with their own currencies, central banks and fiscal accountability, and responsibility. How else to explain the relentless rise of UKIP, Le Front National and Alternatives fur Deutschland? Not to mention the anger in Holland, among the German youth and now in Italy?
Given that the EU's structure is itself destined for collapse, who in their right minds would welcome a foul-smelling fish clambering aboard?
The Salmond will take some gaffing yet, but essentially it has leapt at the wrong time and up the wrong river, and should be muzzled before it destroys the world's most enduring monetary, fiscal and defence union – a union which today is leading the global recovery by obeying the time-honoured practice of learning to pay its way in the world.


We had the most amazing luck to have the help of Alana Lipovsky, graphic designer, help us with our fliers for Fused! They came out amazing and if you want to work with Alana she is available for freelance projects.

We didn't get to execute this fully…we were laughing too hard before Kim had to try and mitigate my fall. Good times!
Sweet group photo. Like a happy family!
Kim and Adyana do teamwork.
No seriously, Julian works out. Kim's got some pretty good balance skills too.
Adyana also brings the balance skills. I would be taking her class and work on creating a core steel.

Prefab is a tool for generating build system integrations for prebuilt C/C++
libraries. A Prefab package consists of a small amount of [metadata] and the
prebuilt libraries it describes. Prefab is:

* [Build system agnostic]. Build system support is provided via a plugin API, so
  it's simple to provide support for any build system not supported out of the
  box.

* [Cross-platform] capable. Prefab currently handles only Android libraries, but
  is designed to handle any number of platforms.

* Distribution agnostic. Prefab is only an archive format, and can be
  distributed with whatever package management infrastructure best fits your use
  case. Android packages will commonly be distributed within an [AAR] via Maven
  to be easily used in an Android Gradle project, but distribution as a tarball
  or a git submodule would work just as well.

the `deps` directory with the following commands:

```bash
$ prefab --output out/arm64-v8a --build-system cmake --platform android \
    --abi arm64-v8a --os-version 21 --ndk-version 21 --stl c++_shared deps
$ prefab --output out/armeabi-v7a --build-system cmake --platform android \
    --abi armeabi-v7a --os-version 21 --ndk-version 21 --stl c++_shared deps
$ prefab --output out/x86 --build-system cmake --platform android \
    --abi x86 --os-version 21 --ndk-version 21 --stl c++_shared deps
$ prefab --output out/x86_64 --build-system cmake --platform android \
    --abi x86_64 --os-version 21 --ndk-version 21 --stl c++_shared deps
```

This generates [CMake packages] that can be imported into your build with
[find_package]. See the [Build System Support in Prefab] page for more
information.

For an end-to-end example of a non-Gradle workflow, see [example-workflow.md].

## Package Structure {#package-structure}

A complete Prefab artifact is called a "Package", and each Package contains at
least one Module. A Module is a distinct library to be consumed by the
dependent project. Each Module has its own headers and at most one library per
target platform.

For example, the OpenSSL package contains both libssl and libcrypto modules. The
curl package contains just libcurl.

Note: Header-only libraries can be exposed by a Module with an empty `libs`
directory.

A Package has the following directory layout:

```text
<package directory>/
    prefab.json
    modules/
        <module name>/
            module.json
            include/
            libs/
                <platform>.<id>/
                    include/
                    <lib>
                ...
        ...
```

`<package directory>` can be anything. When the prefab package is contained
within an Android [AAR], the Android Gradle Plugin requires that the package
directory is named `prefab`.

prefab.json is the [package level metadata](#package-metadata) and module.json
is the [module level metadata](#module-metadata). prefab.json is required, but
module.json is optional.

The per-module include directory is optional. If present, the directory will be
automatically added to the consumer's header search path.

The libs directory contains a subdirectory for every supported platform. The
`<platform>` portion of the directory name identifies the family of the platform
(for example, "android", "linux", or "windows") and more exact matching is
performed in a platform-dependent manner. For example, Android libraries use an
arbitrary identifier and read additional platform data such as ABI and minimum
supported OS version from an abi.json file contained in the directory.

The libs directory is optional. A module without any libraries is a header only
library and has no platform restrictions.

The file name of the contained library is determined in a platform-dependent
manner. For Android, the format is `lib${name}.so`, but for Windows it would be
`${name}.dll`.

The include directory within each platform's library directory is optional. If
present, that include path will be used instead of the module headers for that
platform.

For examples, see the [test packages] in the source.

[test packages]: https://github.com/google/prefab/tree/master/cli/src/test/resources/com/google/prefab/cli/packages

## Metadata {#metadata}

Both Packages and Modules contain metadata to describe their use.

### Package Metadata {#package-metadata}

Package metadata describes the version of Prefab that the package was built for
and any inter-package dependencies the package may have.

```json
{
    "schema_version": 2,
    "name": "<package name>",
    "version": "<package version>",
    "dependencies": [
        "<dependency name>",
        ...
    ]
}
```

The `schema_version` describes the generation of the package format. Any
incompatible change to either metadata format or the package layout will result
in an increase in the schema version. Whenever possible, old package versions
will continue to be supported when new schema versions are introduced. Currently
there are only two schema versions (1 and 2). Packages using schema version 1
can be automatically migrated to version 2.

`name` identifies the Package and should match the name of the containing
directory.

`version` contains the version number for the contained software. This field is
optional. If absent, users will not be able to query the package version in
their build scripts.

Note that for compatibility with CMake, versions must be specified as
`major[.minor[.patch[.tweak]]]` with all components being numeric, even if that
format does not match the native version of the software. For example, OpenSSL
version 1.1.1a should be written as 1.1.1.1.

`dependencies` is a list of strings naming other Packages (as specified by each
Package's `name`) that this Package depends on. All dependent packages must be
available to Prefab during build script generation.

For examples, see the prefab.json files in the [test packages].

### Module Metadata {#module-metadata}

Module metadata describes requirements for the module's use. At present, the
only requirements that may be exported to dependents are additional libraries
that the dependent must link along with the module, but in the future this may
be extended to include required compiler flags such as a minimum C++ version.

```json
{
    "export_libraries": [
        "<library link specifier>",
    ],
    "library_name": "<library file name without file extension>",
    "android": {
      "export_libraries": [
          "<library link specifier>",
      ],
      "library_name": "<library file name without file extension>"
    }
}
```

`export_libraries` may specify either literal arguments to be used as-is,
intra-package references, or inter-package references. This field is optional.

| Value       | Result                                                       |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `-lfoo`     | Consumers will use the `-lfoo` flag as-is when linking.      |
| `:foo`      | Consumers will link the `foo` module from this package.      |
| `//bar:baz` | Consumers will link the `baz` module from the `bar` package. |

Note that, except for the first case, the headers for the modules will also be
made available to the consuming package.

`library_name` specifies the name of the library file without the file extension.
This field is optional. If not specified, the library name is assumed to be
`lib<library_name>`.

The `android` and field allows either `export_libraries` or `library_name` to be
overridden dependening on the target platform. Each subfield follows the same
rules of the main properties with the same name. If specified, the
platform-specific properties override the generic properties.

For examples, see the module.json files in the [test packages].
