Lessons in Giving and<br /> Receiving
February 26, 2016 In The Promise By Rebecca Hopkins
Lessons in Giving and
Editorial Note: In many nations, children bereft of parent(s) are not adopted but cared for in relationships akin to fostering. This practice is particularly prevalent in nations with large Muslim populations. Thus, displaced children legally remain a child of their birth parents. The stated purpose of this is to avoid a complicated sense of belonging, preserving family lineage, keeping inheritance matters intact, and marriageable options clearly defined. The practice of bringing gifts to orphans in exchange for prayers, originates from a saying of Muhammad, reported by Ahmad, "When a person puts his hand of compassion on the head of an orphan, for every hair (that his hand touches) of that orphan he will receive a blessing from Allah." In the following account, Rebecca Hopkins, a Christian missionary, enters into daily life at a local orphanage in her Indonesian town.
I spread my arms out as wide and I could and said, "Big." The kids at the Indonesian orphanage crowded close around me, pushing my arm span narrower and narrower. I brought my arms closer. "Small."
A man and woman walked into the orphanage, the man clutching a bag of rice. The woman was pregnant. All the kids abruptly turned away from my free weekly English lesson. The girls grabbed head coverings, the boys buttoned up long-sleeved embroidered shirts. They sat around the Indonesian Muslim couple, turned their palms up and began their ritual prayers, mostly in Arabic, then switching to Indonesian. They prayed to Allah for blessings and a healthy baby in return for the gift of grain.
It was the third-such interruption into my English lesson that day. Most of these children are "poverty orphans," which means though one parent has died, one is still living. But the single parent believes she can't afford to feed, shelter and school her child, and that the orphanage — with all these local donors' help — can. Some, in this culture, believe donating to orphans is an avenue to receiving Allah's blessings, even to forgiving some sins. So, each afternoon, the generous donations come in the form of rice, or boxes of food, or envelopes of cash. Their givers usually have needs of their own — some obvious like the pregnant woman, and some less so, like the business owner hoping for Allah's blessing of success, or the man visiting who had cancer. Sometimes it makes me uncomfortable, this exchange of gifts for blessings. On this particular day, it just seemed like a jumble of needs.
As a foreigner, I spent the first part of my 10-plus years of living in Indonesia knowing I had needs, but wishing desperately I could shut them down. I wanted to help, certainly not need! That's why I was teaching English — it was the only thing I could think of that they didn't have that I could give. I knew I should be "blessed to be a blessing," but often I was abundantly aware of my lack. My halting language wasn't good enough. In such a friendly, hospitable culture, my attempts at loving a neighbor felt small and inadequate and misunderstood. I was often sick, tired, sweaty.
Some of my needs were hard to put into words back then. The need to connect at a heart level. The need to see good stuff come out of the hard stuff. And many of my prayers seemed to go unanswered. My faith in Jehovah-Jireh, in the midst of watching so much go wrong, felt small.
After the expectant couple left, I blurted, "Would you kids rather learn English from me or sit and chat and play?" "No more lessons!" they shouted, and inside, I cheered, too. So, I ditched the English flashcards and came each week with a list of questions to ask, most of which the kids answered with one word, or not at all. What do you want to be when you grow up? Teacher, soccer player, flight attendant. Favorite fruit? Langsat, durian, pineapple. Hobbies? Soccer, playing, dancing. One girl gave me a longer answer. She told me about a garden she was planting at her school.
In the middle of the awkward silences, I offered my own funny stories, of language blunders I'd made that week, or cooking mishaps or silly stories about my young children. The silences seemed to grow longer. So, I filled them with more stories. I said that I often missed my own family back in the States, and how I was missing weddings and births and Christmases. I told of how I moved around a lot as a kid and how sometimes that was good because I got to experience many places, but hard too, because sometimes it made me feel lost. I told them what I prayed for and what I had trouble praying for because… sometimes it's hard to hope.
When I'd talk, I'd stumble around for words that fit, for the bravery I needed to get them out of my mouth. Though I was trying to give them something, I felt vulnerable, like they would figure out my own hidden needs that I wished didn't exist. I was the adult, after all. The educated American. The one with my own bed and house and family. But the year this happened was a particularly tough one, and if someone had asked me who I was that year, I would've given my own one word answer. "Fragile."
Then one day, the girl who was growing the garden pulled me to the side and started talking. She shared her own traumatic story of how she lost both parents over the years, was separated from her siblings and eventually ended up in the orphanage. I won't share all the details here, but it was a haunting story and I carried it with me all week. The next time I saw her, she had another hard story to tell me. Someone had destroyed the garden she'd planted, the one she'd spent weeks tending.
I didn't know what to say. What do you give an orphan you can't ever legally adopt, when she's lost so much, when this is just one more thing that's gone terribly wrong? So, we sat there in that busy orphanage — people coming and going, donations given, children chanting their thanks to Allah — this girl and me, heartbroken and fragile together.
Our relationship deepened in that needy place, and other kids noticed. Soon I heard more stories, more brave words spoken out of broken places.
Meanwhile, I was realizing my fragility wasn't such a terrible thing. Fragile things are also highly valued things.
Sometimes we think meeting needs around us is a simple exchange between the giver and the needy. We think in terms of problems and solutions. We see a need, figure out what it will cost us, and make a decision.
I watched a different story unfold in that orphanage. I saw loss, and needs, and heartbreak, all jumbled together with friends, and hope, and courage. I was in the jumble, too – both giving and receiving, both needing and believing.

Satellite phones in India- Price, new connection, service provider and everything else
By Aastha Dutta
Satellite phones are not legal in India, it can only be purchased with a license permitted by the Department of Telecommunication.
What is a Satellite phone?
A satellite telephone or satellite phone is a device that connects with other phones by the signals through satellites in orbit around the Earth. It does not receive signals from Terrestrial (land-based ) towers.
It does not have its usage in limited areas covered by tower cells but has its reach to all geographical locations around the Earth's surface.
The mobile material is also known as Terminal was earlier in the size of 1980's and 1990's mobile phones with a retractable Antenna. But in recent times, the size has been similar to that of any regular ordinary mobile phones.
It has been designed to work outdoors where a cell phone can't be used in different places.
Some are designed for global usage, some for safety and security purposes.
The satellite phone services were launched through INMARSAT. The International Mobile Satellite Organization was set up under the aegis of the United Nations in 1979 and India is one of its founding members.
A Satellite phone in India
As per Indian law, the usage of the Satellite Phone is banned. Even if any foreign person coming in with all the necessary documents permitting them to use the satellite phones, the Indian Authorities have the right to deny such permittance.
It becomes difficult for the Indian Agencies to track the conversation if these phones are being used for any terrorist activity, as satellite phones do not connect like ordinary terrestrial cell phones.
Further, these satellite phone signals interfere with the signals picked up by Army stations and also by intelligence agencies.
Indian commandment towards satellite phone usage became more stringent after the 26/11 attacks which led to the further revelation that most of the communication with Pakistan happened over Satellite phones.
Use of satellite phones in India is a violation of section 4 of the Indian Telegraph Act 1885, India wireless Telegraph Act 1993, the person who is willing to carry, need to obtain a License from the telecommunication department of India.
As per existing guidelines issued by the Department of Telecommunications, INMARSAT Satellite phones excluding BGAN system can be used by the government, corporate houses, members of mountaineering expeditions and other such categories with prior permission from the Department of Telecommunication.
The Satellite phones are being used by the border Force Security organizations, disaster management organizations and other bureaucratic organizations.
Defense Agency does not opt from foreign operators due to the security concerns.
Thuraya and Iridium sat phones are considered to be illegal in India.
Anyone using satellite phones without the permission of DoT will be penalized under the Act.
These persons or authorities have to give all the required declarations to the custom officials ranging from mentioning the brand, serial number and part number of the phone.
GLOBAL SERVICES PHONE SERVICES- BSNL
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited has initiated the global services phone services which are known as Satellite phone services which provide communication of any sort of from the globe.
It started satellite phones through INMARSAT which are for government agencies and later will be opened for other citizens.
Currently, it has been designed within Indian surfaces including the territorial surface.
It is suitable for remote areas and calamity affected areas. The persons working in defense, border security organizations, disaster management bodies, fishermen, trekkers, maritime application, require communication which terrestrial cell phones can't provide.
This service is applicable to the Government Agencies, General Public, Private enterprises, and Mini-user who are existing users of satellite phones.
Indian state-owned, BSNL has decided to avail these services to the General Public as well. From 2019 onwards the release of the satellite phones for the general public will be rendered by the BSNL.
BSNL is one such leading satellite phone, Indian service provider.
BSNL Chairman and Managing Director Anupam Shrivastava said: "We are starting satellite mobile service today with voice and SMS."
The satellite phones were launched on 24th May 1017 and it was reported that by the BSNL officials that they had 100 crore revenue with the emergence of Satellite phones.
Satellite mobile phones price in India
The standard price in India is Rs. 82000 for the handset with a year warranty.
Additional warranty up to a maximum of 3 years – Rs 5000/ per year.
There are around 1532 authorized satellite phone connections that can operate within the surface of our country and the majority of them are used by Security Forces.
All the connections have been transferred to INMARSAT as declared by the Managing director.
And Rs. 30-35/ per minute has been decided on the standard call rate of the satellite phones.
Earlier people have to carry a larger bag for the satellite phones but now with the new services, only miniature handset has to be carried.

The poker bonanza of the year is finally here. Today the $40,000 no-limit holdem begins, one of this year's most exciting events.
On May 27, the 2009 WSOP took off with the traditional $500 Casino Employee event. But already on day two, that is, today, one of this year's most exciting events begins.
In just a few hours, Day 1 of the $40,000 No-Limit Holdem 40th Anniversary event begins. Speak of coming on with a bang!
With a $40K buy-in, this event is the third biggest in the history of the WSOP - after the two $50K HORSE events that have taken place so far. Of course, the 50K HORSE will be back a third time later during the 2009 WSOP.
According to assembled poker forum experts, the expected number of entrants in the 40K lies in the interval 100-300 with pretty high credibility.
As before, we at Poker Junkie hopes this event will remain in the WSOP schedule in future series. Hey, why not make it the new WSOP Main Event?
After all, $10,000 is considerably less worth today than 40 years ago when it all started.


Most US Presidents, following a national disaster like Harvey, have spent time with survivors — comforting and talking to them, serving them food, and sharing hugs and even tears.
Sure, he provided some good "optics" — picking up and kissing babies and pretending to serve food to the survivors — but his words to the people who were his captive audience were hollow, inappropriate to the occasion, and extremely awkward. He also didn't miss an opportunity to diss the media and Hillary Clinton.
The mainstream media gave him a pass, fawning all over him for having at least tried to act presidential, when they should have been calling him out on his inappropriate, callous, and outrageous words of "support" to these devastated people.
This morning he decided to put an end to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA), an Obama-era program that ensured that young people who were brought over from other countries as children — a program that required its recipients to either be working or attending school. By ending DACA, he doomed these productive, intelligent young people to deportation back to the countries their parents brought them from (with a six month delay). That would mean that these kids and young adults, the vast majority of who are high achievers and are benefiting our economy, would lose everything. They would be stranded in foreign lands they couldn't remember, in some cases knowing absolutely no one. For a party that calls itself "pro-family," his heartless and cruel decision will tear families apart and destroy lives.
Trump also had a history of failing to acknowledge Americans who have died in tragic accidents, most recently the 12 sailors who died in an accident on a Coast Guard ship. Not one word was ever mentioned about those sailors, but this was far from the first incident in which Trump — unlike past presidents — just didn't seem to care.
Watching Trump, I believe he not only has no empathy, he also has no conscience. That to me indicates a sociopathic, not merely narcissistic, personality. He actually seems to delight in causing pain and suffering. I do think he is in fact sadistic, and enjoys pushing policies that will traumatize and hurt people.
When he talked about Harvey, he seemed almost gleeful over how "big" and "powerful" the storm was. He seemed almost proud of it and acted like the Houston survivors should be proud of it too, as if it were some national monument or sports record. I think he could relate to the storm. He can relate to anything that's powerful and destructive and destroys lives, because destruction and chaos is the only thing he understands.
Now he's traumatizing the entire country by playing chicken with an equally unhinged narcissistic sociopath using nuclear weapons. Nuclear war is a real possibility. We are in grave danger of annihilation. But it's just a game to these two — and we are pawns in their game. We are expendable because we aren't people; we are merely objects to be played or discarded at whim. Trump's ego is much more important than human life, and he is willing to kill us all to save his ego.
A friend told me her young daughter comes home everyday crying because she's so afraid of nuclear war. She's just 12, and can't sleep. She can't concentrate at school and is withdrawn and depressed. My friend told me she has had to send her daughter to a therapist to try to address this trauma. But this girl isn't alone. Many people are being traumatized by this president's actions and threats, but he will never care. Nor will he stop his destructive and dangerous behavior.
Going back to Harvey, Joel Osteen, the multimillionaire Prosperity Gospel preacher who holds his church services in a huge stadium, refused to open the stadium to flood survivors until he was finally shamed into it. He held a service to pray for the survivors– and passed around a collection plate for donations to the cause — even though the people at the service were the survivors themselves! Who does that?
Trump's evangelical "spiritual advisers" offered only "thoughts and prayers" to the flood survivors– not any real tangible help such as money, food, clothing, or time spent comforting families. Of course, there's nothing wrong with praying for people, but when "thoughts and prayers" are used as a substitution for any real help, they are as meaningless as a Hallmark card.
During his sermon for Harvey survivors, Osteen told the people — most who had just lost everything they owned — not to play the victim. I'm sorry, but how are people who have just lost everything they owned playing the victim? They are victims, and as such, they should be showered with real compassion, not condescending platitudes about positive thinking. They should also not be expected to donate to their own cause (especially when Osteen himself owns a 15 million dollar home and is one of the wealthiest men in the country) and most of these people had no access to cash or their bank accounts.
I think this conscienceless, heartless administration has been especially hard emotionally on people who have suffered abuse at the hands of people like them and also on people who are empaths and very sensitive to their spiritual darkness.

COVID-19 Update for May 1, 2020 – 12:00pm
Tiff Macklem named new Governor of Bank of Canada
This morning, Finance Minister Bill Morneau announced that Tiff Macklem, the former second-in-command at the Bank, will be taking over from Stephen Poloz in early June when his seven-year term ends. Macklem currently sits as the Dean of the Rotman School of Business and will be tasked with leading Canada's monetary policy decisions during a pandemic-driven recession.
Federal Deficit Grows
Yesterday the Parliamentary Budget Officer released revised estimates of the impact that COVID-19 will have on Canada's economy. For 2020, real GDP growth in Canada is projected to shrink by 12 per cent, the weakest on record since the government began tracking in 1961. According to the PBO, the previous weakest growth in real GDP on record, a decline of 3.2 per cent, was observed during the 1982 recession.
Deficit projections for 2019-20 and 2020-21 have increased to $24.9 billion and $252.1 billion, respectively. Relative to the size of the Canadian economy, the deficit will be a record high of 12.7 per cent of total GDP in 2020-21.
You can read the PBO's full analysis here.
Gun Control Measures
Today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, alongside Federal Minister of Public Safety Bill Blair, announced a ban on more than 1,500 models of military-grade assault-style weapons in Canada. Effective immediately, licensed gun owners will no longer be allowed to sell, transport, import or use these sort of weapons in this country. Trudeau said there will be a two-year amnesty period for people who already own these firearms and promised to pass legislation in the coming months to provide "fair compensation" for a buy-back program.

Guy Carpenter selects new global public sector lead
by Ryan Smith 31 Mar 2022
Guy Carpenter selects new global public sector lead | Insurance Business Asia
Guy Carpenter, a global risk and reinsurance specialist and a business of Marsh McLennan, has announced the appointment of Julian Enoizi (pictured above) as global head of public sector, effective April 11.
In the newly created role, Enoizi will lead Guy Carpenter's public sector practice, where he will work with the global team to identify opportunities to address systemic risks, such as cyber and climate change, and develop solutions that facilitate a closer working relationship between public and private entities. Enoizi will be based in London and will report to David Priebe, chairman of Guy Carpenter.
Enoizi has more than 25 years of experience leading international insurance operations in continental European, London and Lloyd's markets. Prior to joining Guy Carpenter, he was the CEO of Pool Re, the UK government-backed terrorism reinsurer that operates as a public-private partnership.
During his tenure at Pool Re, Enoizi presided over significant advancements to the organisation, including the renewal of its unlimited guarantee. He played a central role in discussions about how the UK could better manage the risks on the government's balance sheet. These discussions resulted in the joint development of the Resilience UK initiative, which aims to encourage industry and government collaboration to tackle systemic risks and protection gaps beyond terrorism.
Enoizi has also held leadership roles including managing director of ProSight Specialty Underwriters, president and CEO of Argo Managing Agency, and president and CEO of CNA Europe Holdings.
"At Guy Carpenter, we remain committed to helping develop and secure public-private partnerships, which is vital to enhancing community resilience," said Dean Klisura, president and CEO of Guy Carpenter. "Julian's understanding of the importance of such partnerships and his extensive market experience make him the ideal person to lead our global public sector practice."

The Orthoimagery data theme includes orthorectified image data of the earth's surface, from either satellite or airborne sensors. An orthoimage is a raster image that has been geometrically corrected (orthorectified) to remove distortion caused by differences in elevation, sensor tilt and, optionally, by sensor optics. Data is orthorectified to achieve an accuracy commensurate with a given topographic map equivalent.

Lady's Slipper, Fairy Steps and Silver Dale are words that conjure up a land of day dreaming and story telling. Finding your way around this patchwork of wonder and wildlife in a far-flung corner of Lancashire is magical in itself with its mysterious maze of crisscrossing roads and county boundaries.
The old county name (in parts) of Westmorland suites our story well. Only on a family cycling day out did my mind map finally work out the way around Arnside & Silverdale AONB without getting lost.
Even now I find it difficult to describe exactly how to find Gait Barrows National Nature Reserve. In a way that's good as only the single-minded traveller will journey in yet one more circle to find the entrance to the reserve protecting the rare and beautiful Lady's Slipper Orchid.
Fairy Steps, hidden in a narrow limestone cleft between Arnside and Beetham, is the land of local legend. Climb or descend the rough steps between this steep limestone escarpment without touching the sides of the narrow gully and the fairies will grant your wish. Only the chosen few granted with "second sight' can see the fairy folk skipping up the steps.
To add to the mystery and intrigue this route between Hazelstacks and Slack Head is part of one of the Lakeland's corpse trails used to carry the coffins from the more rural areas to the nearby church. Several iron rings are visible on the steep rock face and are thought to have been used to haul up the coffins. The very thought of such endeavour conjures up wild Tolkien like imaginings of mishaps and adventure before the unknowing dead reached their final resting place and tranquil surroundings of Beetham village and Church.
As with all good tales this one has the perfect ending on a pebbly beach cove tucked alongside the coastal road as it winds its way from Silverdale village. Sit here awhile as the day drifts into night and dream of far away beaches on islands in warmer climes. The sun will set over Morcambe Bay, and your day, in a way that will bring you back time and time again.
If you can find the way that is!

Owlcat Games' tabletop port offers an authentic Pathfinder experience - the good, the bad, and the ugly.
But an authentic recreation of the Pathfinder experience suffers tremendously without the guiding hand of a Dungeon Master. Simply put, Kingmaker doesn't feel properly balanced.Its dungeons are mostly poorly designed trapfests stuffed with monsters to kill and little else of interest to do, and several of its core systems conspire less to keep things interesting and more to keep progress slow. The combat encounters, dungeons, and additional mechanics like kingdom management are flawed, uneven, and wildly divergent in quality.
In an early sidequest, you encounter an enemy type that may very well defeat a party that doesn't have the appropriate method, or knowledge, on hand to beat it. In a tabletop campaign, a good DM could present an interesting alternative to prevent the frustration of a complete party wipe at the very start of the evening. In Pathfinder: Kingmaker, the party just dies, and often does so repeatedly.
I fought too many battles in Kingmaker on repeat. My characters weren't poorly designed or built, because I still found myself powering through many encounters well enough. My worst defeats, the kind a tweak in strategy or methodology couldn't save me from, came from being ground down by long dungeons and hordes of enemies that applied "permanent" debuffs that could only be removed by resting. Without rations, there is no resting in these labyrinths, and watching my very limited supply of rations dwindle became a doomsday clock. I stayed in some dungeons for hours, slogging through the same encounters and situations, dying again and again, only to conclude that I just didn't kit out properly or bring enough supplies. Thus, I had to abandon all progress and load a save where I could re-provision before giving it another go, wiser and considerably more annoyed.
This is a shame, because Kingmaker does a great job of portraying the pen-and-paper abilities of a Pathfinder character. Having a powerful wizard let off a salvo of mighty arcane artillery blasts fills the screen with a well animated fireworks display, and figuring out how to use melee fighters and other support classes together effectively can create exciting moments. Combat in Kingmaker is good-looking and expansive, and, when the encounter is worthy and the party is fresh enough to fight to something approaching its peak strength, quite fun. It's frustrating that other unnecessary mechanics and poor encounter design often jarred me out of its otherwise solid isometric RPG combat.
Uninteresting and frequent delays become moments of boredom far too often.
Getting from dungeon to dungeon, or area to area, has pitfalls as well. Traversing the world map means literally waiting for your party to move across it. It means waiting for it to load, watching your party move at a snail's pace across the impressively sized map, and stopping very regularly to fight or rest. These uninteresting and frequent delays become moments of boredom far too often.
Thankfully, the Pathfinder experience has some rewards for the patient. Notably, the story is very, very good -- one of the better I've played in an isometric RPG. It leans into the high fantasy trappings of the setting, with magic and monsters and mystical curses, while also bringing a healthy political dynamic to the proceedings. The story of a lowly adventurer ascending to nobility and dragging a backwater barony with them to glory could easily become stale if there was nothing more to the plot, but Kingmaker throws quite a few unique and interesting stories at you over the course of its roughly 75 hour campaign.
The pacing can be disjointed by numerous delays, but Kingmaker's story maintains a sense of weight and variety. Your barony feels like a fledgling state in its birthing pains, under assault from within and without, and it doesn't take much at all to become invested in its survival as greater, shadowy forces scheme for its destruction. Diving into the main quests as they arrive and the many, many side quests and errands available rapidly presents an avalanche of content.
I'd have preferred a little less to do, truthfully, or at least the opportunity to do it all with the in-game clock being less of an enemy. At one point I had to let nearly a year of my barony's time tick by, stopping only to put out fires along the way lest my kingdom crumble to unrest, before a new chapter of the main storyline triggered. It was in these moments that some of my sidequesting felt burdensome, and the amount of random events slamming into my fledgling state felt overwhelming.
I'd hone in on the story, then have to watch my barony bleed from a thousand cuts as an avalanche of event cards and crises diced it up. Taking a myopic view of the most pressing matters threatening the barony can lead to certain side quests expiring because they weren't addressed in time. The clock always felt like my enemy, and I felt pulled in many different directions. That certainly feels like being the ruler of a troubled infant state, but getting beaten over the head with a deluge of never-ending problems is less a cool feature and more a source of stress and aggravation.
You have complete control over building your barony, from choosing which buildings to put in its towns and cities to appointing advisors to deciding how to respond to threats and challenges as they spawn. Early on, I found myself spending too much time on construction and questing, only to see my barony literally crumble without much warning hours later because of choices I didn't know were wrong at the time. It can be fun being the lord of the manor, receiving visitors and events in the throne room and deciding how things should be run, but sometimes having to tend to my holdings lest they literally burned down while I was away became a drag on the story. You can adjust the difficulty of kingdom management to alleviate some of the pressure, and there is an auto-management mode ostensibly present to provide an option to wash your hands of kingdom management, but the one time I tested it out, I ran into a bug that broke my ability to progress.
Kingmaker is not above throwing more crises at you then you can possibly handle, leaving the events screen of my Kingdom management inundated.
Taking the reins of the kingdom doesn't guarantee a better outcome. Kingmaker is not above throwing more crises at you then you can possibly handle, leaving the events screen of my Kingdom management inundated. You solve one problem, only to see two more take its place, or see an advisor fail a critical task you set for them. Watching my hard-won progress in statebuilding erode while I literally had no options left to stop the stability hits brought about several game over screens for me; I even reloaded a save and willfully surrendered two hours of progress just to reverse my decision to spare the life of a certain creature. Killing it was completely against my moral alignment, but I needed to avoid the repeating migraine and kingdom cancer that creature became later.
The characters themselves are a highlight of the experience. Character creation is delightfully deep and complex, as faithful an import of a tabletop creation process as I've ever encountered. The sheer amount of information present and mechanics to worry about might overwhelm the incurious and inexperienced, but as a Pathfinder fan and a lover of tinkering with RPG character creators, shaping my protagonist and his allies was an absolute treat.
This is a life or death matter. A poorly optimized character who hasn't been making good decisions during their level-ups will run into serious difficulty. While there is no perfect template, there are some wrong ones, which may graduate the experience on Normal or Hard from very difficult to nigh-impenetrable. I found Hard mode to be almost masochistically difficult, and Kingmaker doesn't hold hands as far as its nuts and bolts are concerned. Surviving long enough to experience the famous Pathfinder power creep is a great reward for the time spent in the character screen. After grinding to level 15 or so, and after some of the difficulty present earlier in the experience, suddenly being able to kick wholesale tail as my character build finally came together was extremely satisfying.
I encountered some unfortunate technical issues that were warts on my experience with Kingmaker. Load times are fairly long for an isometric RPG of this sort, and the framerate dips during fights where the screen fills with enemies and activity. I suffered several ill-timed and unfortunate crashes during transitions between areas. As I played post-launch, bugs were patched and hotfixed often, technical performance did significantly improve, and some new features were added (like an "invincible kingdom" difficulty option that would have been nice to have from the start), but Kingmaker still felt a bit unstable and under-optimized. In a large story with a ton of delays already built into the experience, the time I spent dealing with these issues was most unwelcome.
Kingmaker soars when your party is comfortably exploring its gorgeous map before the ticking Kingdom clock arrives, conversing with other characters that shows off its well-written dialogue, and participating in storybook cutscenes a la Pillars of Eternity that read like a high fantasy novel. It just suffers from a few too many design flaws to stay airborne. Without the guiding hand of a human brain across the table, Pathfinder: Kingmaker has wildly inconsistent difficulty, balance problems, and a lot of technical frustration. The kingdom building is a promising idea, with well written scripted events and interesting town-building, but comes with excruciating low points, with damaging events coming at times faster than they can be beaten back, and some buggy execution of its quest-related events. I had some fun playing Kingmaker, and it delivered an authentic tabletop experience in terms of both the feel and the mechanics, but it suffers for that commitment as much as it shines.


The Jones polynomial is a powerful polynomial knot invariant which was discovered in the early 1980s. In the late 1980s, Reshetikhin-Turaev showed that the Jones polynomial fits into a family of knot invariants coming from representation theory. Recently, Khovanov (and Rozansky) enhanced the Jones polynomial and other RT invariants to knot homology theories. After explaining these theories, I will explain a construction (joint with Sabin Cautis) of Khovanov homology using geometric representation theory and specifically the geometric Satake correspondence.


Maybach is dead, long live Maybach! Well, sort of, because the twice-defunct über-luxury brand – last axed due to poor sales in 2012 – has been swept into the Mercedes-Benz fold, becoming part of the official name of the extended-wheelbase S-Class, known as the Mercedes-Maybach S 600. The car is due to make its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show later this month.
The Mercedes-Maybach S 600 is an extended-wheelbase version of the W222 S-Class, with even more rear legroom than the long-wheelbase edition of the latter. It won't be the longest S-Class around though – that honour will be reserved for the six-seater Pullman that we've spied recently.
Details are limited at the moment, but we do get a peek into the interior of the car, which will probably be offered exclusively as a four-seater. The additional legroom afforded by the extended wheelbase should make those Ottoman foot rests more useful than they are in the long-wheelbase for taller owners.
Mercedes-Maybach will not be an equipment line – rather, it'll be a sub-brand that will deliver Mercedes-Benz cars in an exclusive form. An Automotive News Europe report has suggested that the Mercedes-Maybach S 600 will be powered by a 530 hp 6.0 litre twin-turbo V12, and that there could also be a V8-engined Mercedes-Maybach S 500 and a 3.0 litre V6-engined Mercedes-Maybach S 400 4Matic.
Also, there are currently no plans to introduce Maybach-branded hybrids, SUVs or sub-S-Class models like the E-Class, Mercedes sales chief Ola Kaellenius told the publication.

Peter dreamt of life with a camera. His left-wing father, Eduard – a journalist and former WWII photographer – at first supports his son's ambition and even gives him his wartime Leica. But when Peter tries to save someone from a fatal accident instead of "capturing the moment of violent death," Eduard decides that his son lacks the guts for "real" photography, the kind he practiced during the war, the only kind of photography "worthy of a man," even in peacetime, and he forces Peter into overseas banking instead.
Peter's exotic career takes him from his native Holland to Singapore and on to Chicago where he marries a socialite. But his dream never dies, and at last he quits banking and leaves his wife and son to at last pursue that dream. He has a torrid affair with a bohemian artist, then dusts off his Leica, and in 1978, moves to a New York loft to embark on the life of a freelance photographer.
Two years later, with his savings running out, he has an unexpected a breakthrough: an exhibition on the provocative theme "White Poverty in Black New York." The show attracts an angry demonstration but is a critical success. Then, his estranged father, Eduard, arrives from Amsterdam to view his son's work.

Der Prospekt Mira (: Prospekt des Friedens, ) ist einer von sieben Prospekten und eine vierspurige Straße in Kaliningrad. Er ist etwa 5 km lang.

Geschichte
Der Prospekt sollte in den 1950er Jahren als eine homogene stalinistische Paradestraße entstehen, weswegen er ursprünglich auch Stalingradski-Prospekt () genannt wurde. Der Stadtarchitekt Dmitri Nawalichin erhob diesen Prachtboulevard zur erstrangigen Bauaufgabe der Stadt und gestaltete die dort befindlichen Gebäude im Stil des sozialistischen Klassizismus. Nach der Zeit des Stalinismus wurde die Allee in Prospekt Mira (Prospekt des Friedens) umbenannt.

Verlauf
Der Prospekt war die eigentliche Hauptstraße Kaliningrads in den Jahren des Spätstalinismus. Die Straße beruht auf der ehemaligen Hufenallee und dem Hammerweg in Mittelhufen. Sie lag außerhalb des Stadtwalles nördlich von Hufen und Amalienau und westlich von Vorderhufen.

Der Prospekt entstand aus der Zusammenlegung des Königsberger Hansarings vom Amts- und Landgericht am Steindamm bis zum Neuen Schauspielhaus mit der Hufenallee und dem Hammerweg. Er führt vom "Platz des Sieges" in Richtung Westen und endet an der Chimitscheskaja ul. ().

Bebauung
Die überdurchschnittlich breite Straße ist ein Prachtboulevard, der von hohen Wohnblöcken (bis zu fünf Etagen) gesäumt wird. Die Fassaden zeigen an vielen Stellen antike Architekturdetails, die der dorischen oder ionischen Ordnung entlehnt sind. Neben Säulen sind Ziergiebel mit Architrav und ornamentierten Friesen zu nennen.

Gebäude

Wohnhaus Nr. 33
Das spitzwinklig zulaufende Eckhaus Nr. 33 an der Ecke Soologitscheskaja uliza (Зоологическая ул., dt. Zoologische Straße) ist fünfgeschossig. Das oberste Geschoss besteht aus Säulenarkaden. Die Fassade zeigt zweigeschossige Kolossalpilaster, die ein Gebälk tragen. Obelisken schmücken die Säulenarkaden. Erbaut wurde es nach Entwürfen des Architekten Wladimir Atanow. 1949 wurde das Haus in der Kaliningradskaja Prawda noch als "eines der großartigsten Häuser am Stalingrader Prospekt" bezeichnet. Das Gebäude wurde später von Nikita Sapriwodin kritisiert. In einem Artikel in der Kaliningradskaja Prawda vom 27. November 1955 bezeichnete Sapriwodin den Kaliningrader Architekten Atanow als "Kolonnaden-Schnörkel-Architekten":

Filmtheater Nr. 41–43
Die Gebäudezeile Nr. 41–43 zusammen mit dem sich anschließenden Filmtheater Sarja (Заря, dt. Morgenröte) sollte eine Fassade mit Säulen und Pilastern erhalten. Dieser Entwurf wurde jedoch nur am Kinogebäude verwirklicht. Das Kinogebäude an der Ecke uliza Kosmonawta Leonowa (ул. Космонавта Леонова, dt. Kosmonaut-Leonow-Straße) entstand aus den Ruinen des Königsberger Filmspieltheaters Scala.

Haus Nr. 51
Das Haus Nr. 51 ist "bis heute eines der auffälligsten Häuser Kaliningrads aus dieser Epoche". Das dreigeschossige Haus hat zwei Seitenrisalite. Diese zeigen an den Ecken sehr breite Pilaster, die ein hochgestrecktes und schmales Rundbogenfenster umfassen. Auf den Pilastern befinden sich kleine Obelisken. Die Pilaster zusammen mit den Rundbogenfenstern erinnern in Form und Gestalt an einen Triumphbogen der Antike.

Haus Nr. 87
Der ehemalige Kulturpalast der Fischer (heute Musiktheater der Kaliningrader Oblast) bildet in Richtung Straßenrand zwei schmale Seitenflügel aus. Die dreigeschossige Fassade wird von zwei Kolonnaden aus dorischen Säulen dominiert.

Researchers hack into Gmail with 92 percent success rate
By Vicky Singh Rao August 22, 2014
Researchers at the University of Michigan and the University of California, Riverside, discovered that six out of seven popular apps could be hacked with up to a 92 percent success rate.
They found out weaknesses believed to exist in Android, Windows and iOS mobile operating systems that could be used to obtain personal information from unsuspecting users. They demonstrated the hack in an Android phone.
The researchers tested the method and found it was successful between 82 per cent and 92 per cent of the time on six of the seven popular apps they tested.
Among the apps they easily hacked were Gmail, CHASE Bank and H&R Block. Amazon, with a 48 per cent success rate, was the only app they tested that was difficult to penetrate.
The researchers believe their method will work on other operating systems because they share a key feature researchers exploited in the Android system.
A user would be vulnerable if they downloaded an app that appeared to be benign but in reality was malware; hackers could then exploit this vulnerability to observe whatever personal data the user entered. One example might be when a user opens a banking app and logs in. The hacker would be notified and could begin an "activity hijacking attack," allowing them to get a user's personal information.
Another example could be when a check is deposited electronically. A "camera peeking attack" could steal the image of the check, allowing hackers access to sensitive information such as the bank account number, routing number and signature.
The researchers demonstrate the hacks on their website, showing how they were able to compromise seven different Android apps: WebMD, Gmail, Chase, H&R Block, Amazon, NewEgg and Hotel.com. They said they managed to hack into Gmail and H&R Block about 92 percent of the time. The Amazon app proved to be least vulnerable, they said, with a hacking success rate of about 48 percent. They said this was most likely due to the UI model Amazon uses in its app; instead of having the same screen and different text, Amazon provides a different options menu for each activity.

Coffeehouse: Representing the musical talent of Hope
Claire Furjanic
Hope College's student body contains an abundance of musical talent. To represent and support this talent, the Student Activity Committee sponsors Coffeehouse, a weekly musical performance held at the Bultman Student Center. This event gives the opportunity for Hope students to share their musical talent with their community on campus. Every Thursday night, students gather together to enjoy the performance and support their friends. Performers get an hour-long time slot to share their music and are given the choice to either play individually or in groups. Student performers have the creative freedom to choose how they will spend their time, getting to choose the genre of music, instruments used and specific songs played.
Megan Barta, a freshman at Hope, has loved her experience playing for Coffeehouse. "It is a really good way to allow people who are already making music to share with their friends and the community of Hope," she said. Having played at Coffeehouse twice now, Barta notes that it is a fun and supportive environment. "It's fun to get a chance to perform in a low-stakes environment," Barta said, "there's nothing riding on it and I know they'll have me back."
On the day leading up to her first performance, Barta admits that she had some apprehensions. "I was so nervous, but then the hour went by so fast and I immediately wanted to do it again," Barta explained. While performing, Megan recognized the supportive community of Hope. "Once I started playing, I looked out and realized that I knew every single person there, and it was really cool to be supported like that," she said.
"It's really important to have a community here that supports your individual talent," Maicee Bishop ('25) commented. As performers, students must prepare and rehearse ahead of time, forcing them to take their talent seriously. Bishop shared that she really appreciated the chance to take a break from studies to focus on something she is really passionate about. "It allows me to have a separate goal on my own that I get to work towards that I really enjoy," she explained, "and it gives me more of an aspect of what it feels like to be working while also pursuing things on my own."
Alongside giving the opportunity for students to share their music, Coffeehouse also creates a fun environment for audience members and friends of performers to come enjoy the musical debuts. Students can do homework, chat with friends, or just simply listen to their fellow peers' music. Katie Donahue ('25) enjoys attending Coffeehouse every week. "I like to watch my friends perform because it's really great to see them in a different element," she explained, "but I also really like to come when I don't know the performers and listen to music that I don't normally listen to."
Come stop by the Bultman Student Center on Thursdays at 9 pm to support and enjoy the work of Hope's musicians. Coffeehouse is always looking for more students to play and share their musical talent. If you are interested in performing, email the Student Activity Committee at studentlife@hope.edu.

I made this card from the Gina K "Days of summer" Stamp TV Kit. Gina's card was embossed in white and was very striking. She used the vine stamp that came with the kit, to stamp the background. When I first attempted this card I did not have any white embossing powder so I used glitter embossing powder. When I finely got some white embossing powder I did not like the way mine turned out so I went with the glitter. I think it turned out very good. I will try this on other cards.
Hi Helena, thanks for joining my blog! Love this card, I did one similar to this. Your blog is very nice.....I think our style is about the same.

This article just in from The Wall Street Journal
BEIJING—China says domestic spending by its own citizens will minimize the economic damage of its trade fight with the U.S. Yet demand from consumers and factories is looking shaky.
Even before trade tensions ratcheted up in the past week or so, China was facing headwinds as it worked to expand its middle class and make the world's No. 2 economy more consumer-driven. Economic figures released Wednesday and in recent weeks show slowing activity by consumers, as well as factories, and add to doubts about China's domestic playbook for the protracted trade dispute.
A 7.2% rise in retail sales last month from April 2018 marked a substantial 1.5-percentage-point reduction from the year-over-year rate in March. April's pace was last seen when China ordered people to stay home during the SARS pneumonia more than a decade and a half ago. Some economists had predicted April sales would grow 8.8%. Now they expect the government to expand the stimulus measures employed last year and at the start of this one.
Since President Trump dialed up trade tension last week with new tariffs and threats of more, Beijing retaliated with a set of punitive levies and said, via government media, it wouldn't be cowed because exports matter less than ever to an economy three-quarters powered by consumption. The idea is China's 1.4 billion citizens, each representing nearly $10,000 in gross domestic product, will "hedge the impact of Sino-U.S. trade frictions," as China Central Television put it in a commentary.
Liu Aihua, a spokeswoman for the National Bureau of Statistics, echoed that theme during a presentation of the new data on Wednesday, describing China's nearly 400-million-strong middle class as a "new driver" whose employment prospects will brighten as services develop.
"A trend toward greater consumption is apparent," Ms. Liu said.
Businesspeople say Chinese consumer sentiment had already been damaged by earlier phases of the trade dispute, and now Sino-U.S. divisions appear to be hardening. Damaged confidence has a lot to do with why, for instance, Chinese passenger-car sales fell in 2018 for the first time since the country became an important car market, a turn with knock-on effects for leather, robot and chemical makers.
"The real issue is confidence," said Yao Yang, director of Peking University's China Center for Economic Research.
The hit to sentiment adds to anxiety in an already cooling economy as the government deals with heavily indebted companies and investors reduce exposure to risks.
Other data on factory activity and investment released Wednesday likewise pointed to weakening performance. It is a turnabout from the economist optimism of a month ago when tax cuts, easier access to financing and other government measures appeared to position the economy to easily attain Beijing's 6% to 6.5% GDP growth target this year.
Industrial output gained 5.4% in April from a year earlier, slowing from an 8.5% year-over-year increase in March, while investment in fixed assets such as infrastructure and property during the first four months of this year rose 6.1% from a year ago, slower than the 6.3% pace this year through March.
Nomura economists called the latest performance a "double dip."
Some retail-focused companies say their China business is going gangbusters. IMAX Corp.'s chief executive recently told investors its box-office revenues rose 34% in the first quarter.
"It's very exciting to see what's possible in China," Hasbro Inc. Chief Executive Brian Goldner recently told analysts, explaining that the toy-and-media company has benefited from tie-ins with online giantTencent Holdings Ltd. and broadcaster CCTV.
Unless the U.S. and China find an offramp, the tit-for-tat tariffs set in the past week now threaten to add surcharges up to 25% on a substantial chunk of goods traded between the two countries, whose trade totaled $660 billion last year. Mr. Trump says tariffs are an effective way to pressure Beijing to complete a trade deal, while China's leadership says it has no choice but to retaliate.
The actions weakened China's currency and stock market, while some economists are forecasting a million or more possible job losses.
Chinese households also face other challenges. Personal debt, mostly attributable to mortgages on the country's pricey apartments, has crimped spending. While Chinese incomes have risen quickly in recent years, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development figures show middle-class families in China still only earn a fifth of U.S. levels.
Also, consumer prices are edging higher, up 2.5% in April from the same month in 2018, though official figures so far show limited impact from a virus that is sharply cutting into the country's important pork supply.
Elsewhere, empty malls around China point to rising difficulties for retailers, which appear to be about more than the country's rapid shift to online consumer spending. Clothing sales fell 1.1% in April.
French hypermarket group Carrefour SA, one of the biggest global retailers in China, says its sales tumbled about 10% last year to 3.65 billion euros and that it has explored selling a stake to Tencent. Neither Carrefour nor Tencent responded to a request for comment.
Forever 21 Inc., a Los Angeles fast-fashion retailer that jumped into China seven years ago, is now exiting, according to a Chinese-language notice on its websites. Executives didn't respond to requests for comment.

It is very evident that not all types of waste are equal, making classification necessary. A first attempt at classification was made taking into account the activity that originated them. Thus, waste was divided into three main groups that corresponded to two of the traditional sectors (agriculture and industry), while the third group was waste generated in towns and cities. That is, it talked of agricultural waste, industrial waste and urban waste. In this classification there was also a fourth group which grouped wastes because of their characteristics (medical, radioactive, etc..) and could not be added in any of the three previous types thus becoming part of the category "other waste".
Although this classification could be appropriate didactically or pedagogically (as may be a classification that takes into account the physical/chemical characteristics of waste), it was soon found to have significant deficiencies for the purpose of waste management and a new classification was needed that took into account the specific characteristics of each, for example, behaviour in relation to environmental agents and its potential evolution over time or the impact on the environment and people's health. Thus, according to the toxicity and hazards, waste can be classified as inert, special and non-special.
a) Inert waste
Inert waste is considered that which, once deposited in a landfill, does not undergo any significant physical, chemical or biological transformation, and also meets the leaching criteria determined by regulations. Included within this group of waste are rubble and other construction debris. This type of waste contains recoverable fractions that have to be retrieved and others that have to be object of controlled disposal.
b) Special Waste
Special waste is considered to be any solid, liquid or gaseous material destined for the landfill, which contains any substance or matter specifically described in the scope of Directive 91/689/EEC of 12 December relative to hazardous waste, in quantities or concentrations that pose a risk to human health, natural resources or the environment.
c) Non-special waste
Non-special waste is considered to be all waste that is not classified as inert or special waste.
As a result of this need to classify waste there appeared the European Waste Catalogue (EWC), which became effective on January 1, 2002. In the EWC wastes are grouped into 20 categories or groups (Table 1).
Table 1.  European Waste Catalogue (EWC)
Source: Compiled from the Catalan Waste Agency
At the same time, each of these 20 groups is divided into subgroups, which include waste according to affinities. For example, within category 20 (municipal waste) there are three subgroups that are shown in Table 2. And in each of these subgroups there is a description of the wastes that conform to it, its classification, the most likely route of valuation (recycling, reuse, etc.) and the treatment and disposal of rejection (landfill, incineration, etc.) when necessary.
Thus, for example, within "selectively collected fractions" (2001) there is, among others, glass (200102). Glass is a non-special waste, the route of valuation, which is made by recycling and has no treatment or disposal of rejection, since all glass can be recycled. The coding and classification of all wastes, the different routes of recovery, treatment and rejection disposal are available in the Waste Agency of Catalonia.

The beauty of a woodworking project depends on three things: good design, good craftsmanship, and a good finish. In the long run, the finish is the most important. A good finish will preserve a well-conceived, well-constructed project for generations.
Like all woodworking arts, to properly finish a project, you must have the right tools and a working knowledge of the available materials. But the most essential prerequisite is something you can't buy or read - patience. Putting a fine finish on a project may take as long or longer than building it. But if you take the time, the results will be well worth your efforts.

Designing a New Company
By enlisting Eichler, history would show, the Braun brothers changed the direction of their company and built not just a successful business, but also a cultural symbol, a distinctive style. That development took more than Eichler's efforts alone, however. In 1955, looking for an architect to help build a new office building, the company hired Dieter Rams, just two years out of architecture school. The 23year-old Rams was more broadly experienced than most young graduates, having spent three years as an apprentice in carpentry along the way.
Rams became Eichler's protegé, and together they built a small, intense design department at the company's headquarters. Believing that they could single-handedly change the taste of their fellow citizens, Eichler, Rams, and colleagues set out to design and build a new kind of product. Eichler believed that such products would find a response in people whom he visualized as
"…likeable, intelligent, and natural, with a feeling for authenticity and quality. People, in other words, whose homes are not stage sets for unfulfilled pipe dreams, but simple, practical, and comfortable. And that is exactly how our products should be and look. Products made not for show windows, loud and obtrusive eye-catchers, but, rather, products that one can live with for a long, long time."

Sociology and Coffee
Writing Assignment #1 Coffee is a beverage that is globally consumed, but also a product that has different values in different parts of the world. The role coffee plays in society differs around the world, from the farmers who grew the crops to the people who constantly consume them. Social theoretical perspectives are capable of showing the different roles coffee has in different societies. Symbolic interactionism, functionalism, and Marxism are three theories which show coffee's role sociologically….
Time and the Machine
In Aldous Huxley's "Time and the Machine" the author is unenthusiastic with the use of the present generation's use of time management as opposed to previous generations. In the past, people were more involved with nature, they enjoyed taking walks and kids ran and played outside more. Nowadays more children would prefer to remain in doors and play video games or surf the internet instead of a game of "jump rope." Nature is relevant in this work due to the author's frustration with time being spent….

Braun Case Study
RE:	Braun Case Study Chairman Bernhard Wild stated in his concern regarding the risk for new and true innovations, "When a product is really new it takes courage. People don't know what they want so Braun needs to create the need and expectation." At Braun, they were driven by technological innovation, not price competition. This is supported by the core values of Braun design. So pricing is secondary. Braun needs to think globally when evaluating the introduction of the Syncro Shaver….
