When you call Kalkowski Chiropractic Center, your call will be answered by either Judy or Donna. We run a three person team that takes care of every aspect of the office operation. Judy and Donna answer the phones, set up appointments, talk to insurance companies, workers comp and medicare. Judy is the Office Manager and takes care of virtually all aspects of the functioning of the office. Donna takes care of keeping the patient flow going throughout the day. She takes the patients back into the rooms, applies certain modalities, and keeps Dr. Kalkowski headed to whichever room he needs to be in next. Our office is very busy, but also very efficient. The team at Kalkowski Chiropractic Center will always put you first and make your experience comfortable, efficient and effective.
My philosophy is that chiropractic care is an excellent form of treatment, and in some cases, the best form of treatment for many neuromusculoskeletal injuries and pain syndromes, and I realize that the majority of people will seek care at my office for such treatment.
My hope is that, for these people, I will be able to help them with the condition they come in with but also to educate them along the way regarding the premise that a spine that functions well not only feels good but allows for the nervous system to function without interference. This allows the nervous system (Houston Control for the body) to control and organize the function of every cell, tissue, organ and system of the body properly.
One cannot achieve optimal health with nervous system interference caused by one or more dysfunctioning vertebrae. I hope that the end product is that the person utilizes Chiropractic care in the long term as a tool to maintain the health of the spine and, therefore, the health of the nervous system and ultimately the overall health of their body.
On the financial front, I try to set the stage early that I will always recommend a plan of care that will allow us to achieve the patient's goals. I realize that some people will not be able to comply with my exact recommendations and that sometimes we will have to do whatever the patient is able to do and hope that it works. Sometimes the outcomes are better than expected – other times sub-optimum results come from sub-optimum treatment plans. I certainly try to follow the advice I was given in college in making people comfortable about returning to the office even if they choose to not follow my recommendations.
I look forward to meeting you in person and learning how we may be of service to you. Give our office a call, or Email Us and let's arrange a time to explore your options.

SCE mismanaged energy efficiency program, California regulators find, ordering $76M customer rebate

California regulators have ordered Southern California Edison to credit ratepayers a little over $76 million after finding that the company mismanaged its energy efficiency upstream lighting program between 2017 and 2019.
The California Public Utilities Commission concluded that the utility "failed to ensure that efficient light bulbs were tracked and sold as intended by the program design." In addition, it ordered the utility to refund ratepayers $6.8 million in shareholder incentives, and pay the state a little over $19 million in fines.
"Southern California Edison is disappointed with the decision and believes it provided evidence in the proceeding that should have produced a more proportionate remedy to reflect SCE's accountability for upstream lighting program management deficiencies," spokesperson Ron Gales said.
The upstream lighting program was part of a broader state initiative to incentivize utilities to encourage customers to switch to energy-efficient light bulbs. It was discontinued in 2020.
Concerns about the upstream lighting program were raised in a 2017 evaluation report on the program's performance, which was published in 2019. The report found that unusually large volumes of light bulbs had been shipped to small stores in the service territories of SCE and San Diego Gas & Electric.
The reported number of light bulbs shipped to these stores was more than the total reported sales of light bulbs in California as per other sources of data, leading to its conclusion that the program's numbers – and energy savings claims – were too high.
A CPUC administrative law judge took up the issue in 2020, and SCE detailed corrective actions it took in response such as limiting shipments of bulbs to small retailers. However, in April 2020, the agency issued the 2018 evaluation of the program, which once again found unusually large volumes of bulbs being sent to discount and grocery stores in the utility's footprint.
In July 2020, the CPUC's Public Advocates Office and The Utility Reform Network, both ratepayer groups, jointly urged the commission to order a shareholder-funded independent investigation of the program. The groups said SDG&E's approach to the 2017 evaluation report differed widely from SCE, which they said was "woefully incomplete."
SCE informed the commission in November 2020 of the outcome of an external investigation that found discrepancies in the information provided by participating manufacturers.
This May, the CPUC launched an official process requiring SCE to address the issue, leading the utility to propose a refund to ratepayers of $8.8 million in program incentive costs, $4.3 million in administration costs and $6.8 million in shareholder incentives.
In a presiding officer's decision issued in September, however, the commission opted for a higher refund of $76.1 million in incentive and administrative costs. It concluded that ratepayer funds had paid for unaccounted-for light bulbs that were supposed to have gone to grocery and other stores, yet energy savings could not be verified. It noted that investigations had indicated that some SCE employees were aware of the issues in 2017, but procedures were not changed.
"In addition, SCE failed to follow its own oversight and quality control procedures, even without inspections, and failed to report the overstocking of light bulbs or take any corrective action," the decision noted.
SCE appealed the decision but in an updated decision filed in November, the commission concluded that none of the issues raised by the utility reflect legal errors with the original decision that would require correction.
In a statement responding to the original decision in September, Matt Baker, director of the CPUC Public Advocates Office, said SCE was "appropriately held accountable for its continued attempts to mislead the public on energy efficiency cost savings at the expense of ratepayers, the very people programs like this are designed to help."
In terms of how to prevent issues like this from occurring in the future, Mary Flannelly, spokesperson with the office, told Utility Dive in an email that the third-party evaluation after the fact was helpful in determining the wrongdoing that occurred.
"It is our hope that cases like this, in which the utility was held accountable and penalties were incurred, could be a useful deterrent going forward," Flannelly added.

Gibberula is a genus of minute sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk or micromollusk in the family Cystiscidae, previously placed in the family Marginellidae, the margin shells or marginellids.

(Note: Gastropod taxonomy has been in flux for many years. This is especially true currently, because of new research in molecular phylogeny. Because of all this ongoing change, different reliable sources can yield very different classifications, especially within certain poorly understood groups.)

Other genus-group names are available for small shells resembling Gibberula. These include Granula Jousseaume, 1875 and Kogomea Habe, 1951. They are distinguished from Gibberula only on the basis of smaller size and other rather tenuous conchological differentiations.

Shell description
The shell of this genus is 1.5 to 10 mm in length, ovoid, stout, with a small, low spire. The outer lip is thickened but without an external varix. It is usually denticulated inside. The columella has several plaits on a thickened rim, decreasing in size towards the posterior end. The siphonal canal is distinctly notched.

Animal

Head and foot
The head is deeply divided in two. There are two short cephalic tentacles and two small anterior lobes. The eyes are a short distance behinde the tentacles. The mouth is provided with an extensible proboscis.
The foot is only slightly longer than the shell when extended. In some species, the sole lies flat on the substrate when the animal is crawling. Others have the edge of the propodium raised, developed as parapodia which fit the head/tentacles in the manner of many tectibranchs.

Color pattern of the head and foot is a useful taxonomic character in all the species.

Mantle
The mantle does not extend over the shell during normal activity. A tongue shaped, translucent lobe may be seen on the left side in some instances.
The internal mantle is usually visible through the shell. It may be brightly coloured in the smaller species with a featureless, translucent shell, and its pattern is then continued into the spire over the visceral mass.
The siphon is short and inconspicuous, often bordered by a small pad.

Reproduction
All species of marginellids have a direct development without a planktonic phase.

Species
The separation between the genera Persicula and Gibberula is not clearcut and currently follows a rather arbitrary criterion where the large species with (usually with complex colour pattern) are placed in Persicula and the smaller species with a banded or uniform colour pattern in Gibberula, leaving in between many ambiguous species. To date (2010) there is no phylogenetic analysis behind the current generic placements.

Google reportedly plans to appeal against a court order to hand over to the FBI emails of Gmail users stored outside of the US, arguing that doing so will put the privacy of non-US citizens at risk.
In a similar case, the US Department of Justice is considering going to the Supreme Court after an appeals court refused to revisit its July 2016 landmark ruling blocking government access to emails stored on Microsoft servers in Ireland.
Both cases involve warrants issued under the US Stored Communications Act, which many technology firms and privacy advocates consider outdated, particularly in the light of the EU-US Privacy Shield personal data exchange agreement reached in 2016.
For just over three years, Microsoft has resisted giving access to emails believed to be linked to narcotics trafficking that are stored on its servers in Ireland, arguing that the emails belong to its customers and that the servers are outside US jurisdiction.
Microsoft and Google are among several big US technology firms that have called for surveillance reforms because of concerns that public loss of trust in technology will hurt their businesses.
Now Google is resisting giving the FBI access to emails held on servers outside the US that have been linked to a US fraud investigation, and plans to appeal against a ruling by Philadelphia judge Thomas Rueter that transferring emails from a foreign server so FBI agents could review them locally did not qualify as a seizure.
The ruling said that although the retrieval of the electronic data by Google from its multiple datacentres abroad has the potential for an invasion of privacy, the actual infringement of privacy occurs at the time of disclosure in the US.
But judge Rueter's finding is the opposite of the July 2016 conclusion reached by a federal appeals court in the Microsoft case, which was welcomed by Microsoft and other tech firms as a landmark ruling that set an important precedent for protecting the privacy of cloud services.
In line with the Microsoft ruling, Google argued that it had complied with warrants it had received for data the company knew to be stored in the US, but that some emails were stored outside the country to improve network performance.
Judge Rueter's ruling came just a week after US president Donald Trump issued an executive order on enhancing public safety in the US that caused alarm because of fears that it could jeopardise the Privacy Shield agreement by weakening protections for data held in the US about foreign citizens.
But the fears were quickly dismissed by law firms and civil rights groups, who said that although the executive order underlines the vulnerability of Privacy Shield, it is unlikely to have any marked effect.
However, judge Reuter's ruling could potentially spark fresh concerns among European privacy campaigners, according to Nicky Stewart, commercial director at cloud assurance services firm UKCloud.
"Public sector bodies with contracts with US cloud firms need to make an immediate privacy impact assessment and, if necessary, seek expert legal advice," he said.
Stewart also believes public sector organisations may need to scope out migration options to move workloads so data privacy and sovereignty can be assured.
"As they prepare for Brexit and GDPR [General Data Protection Regulation] as well as the prime minister's new industrial strategy which actively favours UK firms for government contracts and procurement for growth in the post-Brexit world, departments are going to need to weigh up the risks in terms of data privacy and sovereignty and currency fluctuations of doing business with non-UK providers," he said.
Nigel Hawthorn, European marketing director at cloud security, compliance and governance firm Skyhigh Networks, said Google should be praised for the stance it has taken, but warned that UK and EU cloud service users must increase the due diligence they conduct around cloud service providers (CSPs).
"All users – whether consumer or business – of cloud services must now assume that access to their data will be requested by courts around the world at some point and, therefore, it is now vital for them to adopt and control their own safety measures," he said.
Like consumers, Hawthorn said companies need to improve their cloud service due diligence by checking the applications they are using, what security features they have, where the data is stored and where that particular CSP's headquarters is located.
But companies can then go a step further by implementing their own technical security features, which increasingly means encrypting data before it even reaches the cloud, he said.
"The tension between the courts and technology is unlikely to ease any time soon, so users must start taking a more proactive role to protect their cloud data," said Hawthorn.

Feeling hopeless? A therapist explains why you might be grieving the state of our world.
Even without seeing tragedies firsthand, it's still likely that most of us are grieving.
Annie Wright
Last Sunday night, my fiancé and I went to an early evening viewing of "Ghostbusters."
We grabbed our snacks, settled into our seats, the lights dimmed, and then the standard pre-movie reminder about "noticing which exits are around you in case of emergencies" was announced. And I felt a wave of panic grip me.
"What on earth is this about?!" I thought to myself shakily.
Taking some deep breaths, I put on my therapist hat and suddenly remembered 2012's "Dark Knight" shooting in Colorado and 2015's "Trainwreck" shooting in Louisiana.

My panic was tied to a subconscious fear of being in danger at a movie theater.
It was a very real stress response to the seemingly endless violence and tragedy I've been seeing on the news.
And it was especially poignant for me after watching mass shootings on the news in recent years and the past few weeks, many of which have taken place in otherwise "safe," contained environments like dance clubs, concert venues, cafés, McDonald's, traffic stops, and churches.
In fact, scientists now know that this is pretty common. Being exposed to violent news events via social media can cause us to experience symptoms similar to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
According to a 2015 paper from The British Psychological Society:
"Social media has enabled violent stories and graphic images to be watched by the public in unedited horrific detail. Watching these events and feeling the anguish of those directly experiencing them may impact on our daily lives."
This phenomenon is called "vicarious trauma."
It is something that helpers like psychotherapists, social workers, doctors, and aid workers (among others) often deal with as an occupational hazard from being exposed to the repeated violent or traumatic stories of those they serve.
But because of everyone's constant exposure to terrible events on the news these days, all of us are at a heightened risk for experiencing vicarious trauma, no matter where we are.
So those feelings you have after watching the news these days? The numbness, the apathy, the persistent anxiety, the intrusive thoughts, the feelings of hopelessness and helplessness? Those are all normal. You're probably experiencing grief.
"Vicarious grief" might look familiar to you because you've probably seen the stages of it in your news feed: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
This five-step process of grieving is sometimes called the Kübler-Ross model after the pioneering grief work of Swiss psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, M.D. And now, social media has given us all a way to see and express our individual and collective grief in public.

Here's what I mean:
Scrolling through our feeds, we've all inevitably seen people express sentiments of shock, disbelief, and denial about yet another mass shooting, another incident of police brutality against unarmed black men, another horrific hostage situation, or a frustrating election cycle.
Denial can be seen when hashtags emerge and trend; shock is expressed, and disbelief is shared.
Anger, the second stage of grief, can be seen when a social media wave of anger breaks across our smartphones and laptops. We see and feel anger over someone who was taken away too soon from us, and we feel anger that we live in a world where traumatic news weeks are the norm, not the exception.
Changing profile pictures and banners, sharing and signing petitions, making donations and sharing articles of thought leadership — all of this can allow us to use social media take some kind of action, however small. For many of us, this can help to counter the inevitable feelings of helplessness and hopelessness these traumatic events can trigger. This, in essence, is bargaining — an attempt to take action to avoid encountering bad things again.
And as for depression and acceptance? Perhaps these stages of grief are less visible online. Often, depression can look more like what you might be feeling this week — perpetual feelings of apathy, numbness, and hopelessness. Perhaps depression looks, for you, like avoiding all media consumption. Or maybe it even looks like an increased sense of irritability and weariness in your own life.
As for acceptance, it's debatable whether or not that's even possible online or off these days given the never-ending series of tragedies. My hope is that we'll get there.
Grief — whether online or off — is not clear cut. It's not compartmentalized.
The people who were present at a traumatic event will experience grief and trauma differently than the rest of us will as secondary witnesses.
But without seeing an event firsthand, it's still likely that most of us are grieving the tragedy, terror, and loss of direction that is 2016. You are allowed to have, and to share, those feelings.
Plus, grieving online is a new phenomenon: It is complex, multilayered, and often unconscious, and it looks far more like a tangled wire ball than a linear line of conscious emoting.
So what's to be done, then, about the state of things?
We live in challenging, hyper-connected times. Social media is at the core of many of our interactions, if not constantly in our hands.
What's the balance to strike when it comes to using social media to stay informed and to grieve in this new digital age while being mindful of how strongly this can affect our own emotional well-being?
As a therapist, I'd like to recommend that you practice self-care, get support from those who love you, seek out help from professional mental health experts when you need it, and remember that watching these events from afar can affect you.
As you work through your own grief, as you make your way toward acceptance, as you take action against the difficult things you're seeing, and as you scroll through Facebook before bed, please take very good care of yourself, online and off.
Feel what you feel. Share what you need to share. You are worth it.

10 things that made us smile this week
@ownedbyahoula/TikTok, Betty White/Facebook
A round-up of delights from around the internet this week.
Welcome to Upworthy's weekly roundup of delights from around the internet. This week's list features a little of everything—gorgeous music, cute kids, adorable animals, hope for the planet and a brand new video message from the late and great Betty White.
That's right, Betty White left us a message of gratitude shortly before her passing. It's brief, but how lovely to see and hear her speak to her millions of fans one last time. Few celebrities are as universally beloved as Betty White was, and though we knew she couldn't live forever, it would have been fun to see her celebrate her 100th birthday. Now, at least, we get to experience her joy and warmth with a few last words.
Hope these 10 things make you smile as well:

At Harbins Community Baptist Church, we've closed our corporate worship service in varying ways. Sometimes we've asked a member of the congregation to close us in prayer. Sometimes a pastor closes in prayer. Other times an elder has shared a brief encouraging verse from Scripture, very often related to the sermon that was just preached. Still other times we've closed in prayer and said grace in preparation for a potluck!
There's nothing wrong with any of these ways of closing a service, but in 2016, Pastor Steve and I have settled on one particular way we'd like to end our services that we hope will be an encouragement to you as you depart from public worship and go back out into the world as Christ's representative. We'd like to close our corporate worship with a Benediction from one of the elders.
The word "Benediction" comes from a Latin word that simply means "blessing" or "good word." Bryan Chapell, in his book, "Christ-Centered Worship", gives a helpful explanation of what a Benediction is.
A Benediction (or Blessing) is the common close of a worship service. With these words the covenant people are reminded of the promise they have heard in worship so that they go into the world to do God's will with confidence in his promised care and enabling. As the final aspect of gospel-oriented worship, the Benediction is not merely a "closing" but rather is integral to the "sending" now appropriate for a forgiven, instructed, and blessed people… The Benediction is not simply a conclusion but is also a reminder to God's people that they start this new week with assurance of his Blessing. God will provide for them to accomplish all that he calls them to do.
Benedictions continue into the New Testament and are found throughout the epistles. Here is a wonderful one from the apostle Paul to the churches of Thessalonica.
In the worship of the ancient church there appears to have been some sort of Benediction given at the end of the service. It seems, however, that this practice gradually became lost but was recovered by the Reformers. One of the earliest evidences of the use of the Aaronic Benediction in Reformed Worship can be traced back to the John Calvin's Genevan Psalter of 1542. Martin Luther is also seen as heavily influencing churches to include this Benediction into worship services. Gradually, over time, other scriptural Benedictions were introduced into the liturgy of Reformed churches, including what has become known as the Apostolic Benediction.
At Harbins Church, Pastor Steve and I will be closing our services this year by communicating "good things", by communicating the glorious promises and assurances of God's love, kindness, and empowerment of His people. The church, on Sunday, gathers to worship, and then we scatter to do God's work in the world. But as we scatter, let us have confidence that God's blessing goes with us, that His grace and peace will be with us wherever we go Monday-Saturday, until we come together on Sunday to corporately worship once again.
Most of the Benedictions will be quotes from a single passage of Scripture, some will combine several different scriptures, a few may combine scriptural promises with words from solid, Bible based hymns, a couple may, while not being direct Bible quotes, be biblically informed words of blessing and encouragement, such as the wonderful "Breastplate" prayer of St. Patrick. All of the Benedictions will be rooted in the rock solid promises of God and everything that is available through the gospel and through our union with Jesus Christ.
In the movie "Bourne Identity" you have a man who wake s up out of unconsciousness to discover that he has no idea who he is. He doesn't remember anything about his life, his past, his friends, or his enemies. Everything, even his very identity is forgotten. As the story progresses, this man is discovering that he has certain skills, abilities and resources that he has totally forgotten about. Amazingly, it turns out that this man was a Black Ops secret agent working for the government and he spends the rest of the story trying to piece together and recover his forgotten identity.
The movie is not believable in a lot of ways but there is one thing about the movie that's true. Your identity is important and what you believe about your identity changes everything.
Who you t hink you are will play a major factor in how you live your life. If your identity is bound up in being a mom, if you view that as the core of who you are, then that's going to have implications on what you do, the choices you make, your priorities, and so on. And while being a mom is great, what happens when your kids don't turn out the way you want them to? What happens when your kids leave home? What happens when your children become more important than God?
If your identity is bound up in your job, that's going to have major implications. A quick survey of the wreckage of thousands of broken homes and divorces are proof of the consequences of having that kind of identity. What's more, what happens if you lose your job? If you hate your job?
For a couple of years the culture wars have raged over matters of sexuality, gender, and gay marriage. If the core of your identity is bound up in your sexual orientation and your sexual urges, that's going to have ramifications and it will affect the choices and decisions you make.
Christians have a hard time getting identity right. Often our identity is bound up in the wrong things. We tend to anchor our identity in people or places or earthly things instead of in Jesus Christ and when the essence of our identity revolves around anything other than Christ, we have moved into idolatry. We are worshipping something else.
Paul Tripp says that we suffer from Identity Amnesia. We're like spiritual Jason Bournes. Identity Amnesia is misunderstanding and replacing our identity in Christ. Tripp goes on to say that As a believer when you have confusion of identity you…are a sitting duck for sin's insanity. Identity matters. Who you think you are matters. It will affect your life, your marriage, how you handle temptation, disappointments, and challenges. This is a big deal.
Recently many of the ladies at Harbins Church went through the book of Ephesians, a book that is all about God, what God has done, and your true identity in Him. I was privileged to participate by providing our women leaders with some of my notes based on my own prior research of this amazing book. Due to time limitations and the format of the ladies' group meetings, I was unable to offer my complete teaching on Ephesians. Also, I received a couple of requests from people to make my notes available to everyone, and additionally, I felt burdened to help people who couldn't attend the ladies' groups, (like the men of Harbins and people outside of our church) to get a better grasp of this powerful book. After some thought and prayer, I am very excited to be launching a brand new blog series called "Identity Matters" which will take us, in greater depth, through the book of Ephesians. And just like Jason Bourne slowly rediscovered his identity and all of the resources and responsibilities that came with that, I pray that the book of Ephesians will help to wake us up to who we really are and the resources and responsibilities that come with our identity.
I am going to be praying for you that as we explore the book of Ephesians, you will likewise be powerfully changed and moved as God opens your eyes in such a way that you see everything differently, because once your vision is clear, everything in your life will change.
Ephesians is all about taking the blinders off and helping us to see a whole new reality in light of Jesus Christ and that will powerfully change the way we do life.
As we look back on 2015, I'll bet that all of us can easily come up with a list of ways we fell short, fell on our faces, fell into the same old sins, and just plain blew it spiritually. Surely I am not the only one who could generate such a long list! So how do we respond to a year full of such setbacks and disappointments?
Before thinking about how to do better in 2016, remember that for those who are in Christ, there is no condemnation for anything you did in 2015! (Romans 8:1) This doesn't mean we callously blow off our sin. Instead, it means that "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9) Praise God that despite our faithlessness in 2015, God's record of faithfulness towards us was 100% and that's something worth celebrating!
Realize that though God's grace towards His children in unending, it does not mean that we are to be content where we are. The apostle Paul said, "What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? (Romans 6:1-2 ) As believers, our purpose is to walk in such a way that will bring honor and glory to God by reflecting His character in how we live. And as a Father who loves His children, God knows that as we live in such a way, we will find our ultimate joy and satisfaction in our fellowship with Him. The only way 2016 will be better than 2015 for you is if you are closer to God this year than last. So how will that happen? Three ways.
For some great advice and help on reading the Bible this year, I commend this great article to you. And if you're like me, a systematic Bible reading plan will be of great help to you. Here's a great list of plans to choose from. Also, Harbins Church is starting a new Bible memory campaign to help you hide God's Word in your heart.
Another essential ingredient to your spiritual growth in 2016 will be prayer. If Bible reading is neglected by some Christians, prayer may even be more so by others. We rush through our daily lives and are totally prayerless. We seek to live in our own strength. We are arrogant enough to think that we can be better husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, employees, friends, and Christians, without the power of God working in us.
Many Christians haven't grasped the truth that until regular vibrant prayer becomes a part of the fabric of their lives, they will only be spinning their wheels spiritually in the muck and mud of sin.
Many Christians struggle with a stale and stagnant prayer life. All of us have room to grow here, and I am still learning myself. One thing that has been extremely helpful in my own prayer life is to "pray the Bible." This has totally changed my prayer life for the better, and I think it can reinvigorate yours.
If you are intrigued, please read this great article for help in learning how to pray this way. Of course, you won't be able to let the Bible inform you prayers if you're not heeding my earlier point about actually reading the Bible in the first place!
Again, this cannot effectively happen if the only time we get together is one hour a week on Sunday mornings. Weekly worship is essential, but the Scriptures are calling us to more regular involvement with other believers to the point where we are being shaped, encouraged, influenced, helped, and held accountable by them.
For more thoughts, see Tim Challies' helpful little article on 5 reasons you need to join a church.
I've heard all this before. So what?
If you're thinking, "This information isn't very revolutionary", you're right. None of this is new. But we don't need something new. We need something that will put us on the path to greater godliness, drawing us closer to Him. 1 Timothy 4:7 says, "Discipline (or train) yourself for godliness." The tried and true disciplines of Bible Reading, Prayer, and Christian Fellowship will be the essential ingredients to you growing in godliness in 2016. The question for us is will we trust the wisdom of God in this or will we chart our own path because we think we know better? If the latter, than come December 31st, 2016, you'll be stuck in the exact same place spiritually as you were December 31st, 2015. Don't you think it's time for a course correction?
I don't know everything the year holds for you. It could include many joys or much pain. It might contain lots of pleasure or a whole lot of suffering. I cannot even guarantee if any of us will even live to the end of the year. Our lives are but a vapor.
The only thing I can guarantee is that if you draw nearer to God in 2016, it will be a much better year than 2015. "Better" doesn't necessarily mean the absence of affliction and it doesn't mean getting everything you want. Instead, better means having and experiencing and enjoying more of the most valuable treasure in the universe. God is so good that He can sustain and strengthen and satisfy even in suffering, even if we lose everything else. There is no other treasure you have that can do that.

Q: What is the point of returning boolean with itself? I have an example code that I am studying in which instead of declaring the boolean in the m file, the author did this :
-(BOOL) loading
{
    return _loading;
}

and use it like this:
self.loading = NO;

Why can't I just do :
BOOL loading = NO;

and set it like this if we need to:
loading = YES;

A: The example is a getter method, which return the value from a property _loading.
self.loading executes a setter method, which sets the BOOL property to NO.
There are plenty of tutorials that describe setter and getter methods, example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fmJLaTLsok
Hope that clears things up a bit.

Summer has finally arrived and we are counting down the days to our summer holiday. I love this time of the year, the longer and brighter days, the excitement of going away and the adventures ahead.
As the summer holidays fast approach, countless preparations need to be made, such as shopping for holiday clothes as little man seems to have grown a lot since last summer, packing our bags and making sure we have everything we might need while we are away, and shopping for school uniform as the new academic year will be about to begin by the time we get back.
This time of the year is exciting, but can also be stressful. I need to constantly remind myself to breathe in and breathe out, to take each day as they come.

I've been using the dropper for years as I discovered it when I studied herbal medicine years ago. I didn't know they did lozenges too!
I think I definately need some of these! I have a stressful summer holidays with my nanny children coming up I reckon. Going to be very busy. They may help me relax a little. I sometimes take Kalms which can work nicely.
Have never tried these before, but the drops sound interesting!
Sounds like I could do with some rescue right now to be honest!
I never tried Rescue before. However, it looks useful and I think I need it.

1) [Stormchild] 5-9-2006(200): The tortoise has escaped! We tied it up with a straw rope, but all that's left of the rope are some torn threads, and the unbound tortoise is nowhere to be found. (Note that the right half here is not "eels". This is (in my opinion) a mistake in the RTK book, as we already decided in waterfall (#537 滝) to refer to the simplified form of dragon as "eels". It is much better to call the right half of this character an "unbound tortoise".).

2) [Zactacular] 28-9-2007(145): When Spiderman fights the giant tortoise, he grabs a straw rope from the edges of the sumo ring and swings it at his head. However, the tortoise quickly tucks his head back into his shell to avoid the blow (hence no head on the tortoise).

3) [Matthew] 2-4-2007(30): A straw rope is made from threads and has about the thickness of an eel.

4) [mantixen] 22-9-2008(21): Our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man takes off the straw rope that was binding the tortoise.

5) [akrodha] 14-4-2008(13): Spiderman's threads conduct electricity a bit too well, so when he has to bind up electric eels, he just buys some straw rope at the post office and shoots it out of his arm. Ouch, that stuff sure leaves a rash.

2014-15 Report Cards
2014-15 Player Report Cards: Mo Williams
Mo Williams was acquired in a mid-season trade to help Charlotte make the playoffs. They didn't. Was his acquisition the wrong decision?
By davislwilliams May 17, 2015, 9:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: 2014-15 Player Report Cards: Mo Williams
In late January, Rich Cho and the Charlotte Hornets faced their most important decision of the 2014-15 season. Star point guard Kemba Walker had just got done with a knee injury and was expected to miss more than a month. After a horrid start to the season, the Hornets had picked up their play once the New Year began. The offense was still stagnant but Steve Clifford's defense had finally come alive.
Walker's injury was just the latest in a series of mishaps for this team. It seemed like every player on the roster either had been hurt or was hurt. With the combination of a brief renaissance in January and playing in the Eastern Conference, the Hornets were still in the thick of the playoff race when Kemba went down.
The question facing the front office was complicated. With the failure of the Lance Stephenson signing pretty evident even three months into the year and the rash of injuries, was this a lost season? Should the Hornets just play the lottery game and see if they can add a rotational player to a team who's talent was greater than its record? Or, as the trade deadline approached, should they make a deal to continue their playoff push?
After almost a decade of futility as the Bobcats, the last team wearing that moniker provided this basketball community a mixture of hope and excitement. Last season's result likely fueled Cho and the front office's decision to make the playoff push.
On February 10, the Charlotte Hornets traded Gary Neal and a 2019 second-round draft pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Mo Williams and Troy Daniels.
Williams was acquired in early February and was immediately given the reins to the offense. His first outing for the Hornets, he tallied a 24-point, 12-assist double-double. This fanbase fell in love, and fast.
In his first 10 games in a Charlotte uniform, Mo scored 20 or more points seven times. His 28.8 percent usage rate in his 27 games in Charlotte was the highest of his career.
Mo's peak this season was the first week of March when he earned Eastern Conference Player of the Week. During that March 2 to March 8 timespan, Williams averaged 19.5 points and 10.8 assists with a 43 percent field goal percentage while the Hornets posted a 4-0 record for the week.
Williams scored in double-figures in 22 of his 27 games here, with 10 games of 20 or more and five doubles-doubles.
His play and the city's love for him tailed off as the season went on. Mo finished with averages of 17.2 points, 6.0 assists in 30.8 minutes per game for the Hornets, starting 14 of his 27 contests. His shooting was on point for what this team needed at first but that en fuego style didn't stay, he finished with shooting splits of 39-34-89.
As I mentioned before, Mo Williams was a Hornets heartthrob when he first arrived here. His played tailed off however over the last few weeks of the season. Williams was acquired on February 10 and Kemba Walker returned from his knee injury on March 11. Mo had a month, 10 games to be exact, to have full run of the Hornets offense. These are his averages before and after Kemba's return:
Before: 21.4 PPG, 8.5 APG, 44 FG%, 35.1 MPG; Record: 6-4
After: 14.7 PPG, 4.6 APG, 36.2 FG%, 23.0 MPG; Record: 5-12
I point this out because I find it interesting. I'm not advocating for the removal of Kemba Walker or anything like that.
Mo played close to that 35-minute per game mark until March 27, presumably around the time Clifford felt Kemba was ready to be the man again. Mo's play did tail off, that's undeniable.
Was the trade a shot in the arm and it just wore off over time? Fatigue and a troubling knee hurt Williams down the stretch, forcing him to play his last game on April 10, an eight-minute excursion. Were those problems slowly creeping in as Kemba was in the midst of his return?
I probably am guilty of this but I wouldn't look into it too much. I think Mo Williams had a great start but he eventually came back down to Earth and we saw the player he is. He can be a good 3-point shooter, make the helpful pass fairly often in a game, but overall is a streaky, inconsistent shooter who needs the ball in his hands to be effective.
He turns 33 in December, at that point in one's career, how much growth is there left?
Top Play
I'd go with either this nifty handle and swish...
Or this trey from Matthews that gave us a great Kemba face...
Or you know, a buzzer beater...
When Mo was a high school junior, Al Jefferson was an eighth grader. Al's AAU coach at the time would take him to watch Mo's high school games in Jackson, Mississippi. The story goes that around that time is when they became friends, keeping in touch through Jefferson's high school years when Mo was at Alabama and even more so when they both entered the league. "Our friendship is beyond basketball. He's my best friend and we talk all the time," Mo Williams told the Charlotte Observer after being traded to the Hornets.
Like Al, Mo Williams is a beacon of leadership in the Hornets locker room. Not only is he great at dealing with players and coaches but again like Al, Mo is friendly and engaging with the media. The strength of the Hornets locker room gets pointed out every so often by players, coaches, and media. Mo Williams' acquisition didn't just boost scoring, it also improved an already tight locker room.
When the season ended this April, Williams immediately became an unrestricted free agent. Will the Hornets want to bring him back? Will he want to come back?
He enjoys being around his best friend Al Jefferson. He respects head coach Steve Clifford and all indications are that he enjoyed his 27 games with this organization. After the season he even spoke as if it were a foregone conclusion that he would be back with the team.
"Next year, the goal is the playoffs and [we] got to put together a unit that coexists with each other for one and get it done at a high level," Williams told the Hornets website after the season. "We do have some talent, especially some young talent. They develop the right way, they should be able to help this team."
He'll turn 33 in December but the 2009 All-Star offers the Hornets what they need: outside shooting.
Williams is a career 38 percent 3-point shooter and was top-10 in 3-point field goals from 2008-2010.
Five years later, can he still bring it from the outside? Charlotte will need him to.
Recap: The Hornets sealed a win over the Bulls with a Mason Plumlee jump shot The Hornets won 111-96, and a pull-up jumper off the dribble from Plumlee served as the dagger.
Hornets are expected to be sellers at the trade deadline Terry Rozier and Kelly Oubre are garnering the most interest across the league.
Preview: The Hornets take on the hot Miami Heat in an early afternoon showdown The Hornets are finding their footing after having won three of their last five games.

Libyan people first
(China Daily)
Twitter Facebook Myspace Yahoo! Linkedin Mixx
As the Libyan opposition struggles to take full control of the country, all eyes are now on the "Friends of Libya" conference in Paris, where delegates from 60 countries, many with various vested interests, will congregate.
Even while the dust has yet to settle, the haste with which companies from NATO countries are scrambling to grab a share of the dividends of war has caused many to question the true intentions of the military intervention in Libya.
Just days after the capture of the Bab al-Azizya compound in Tripoli officials of major European countries were reportedly lining up for talks with the fledgling National Transitional Council to secure lucrative contracts.
"What matters now is the speed," said Antonio De Capoa, chairman of the Italian-Libyan Chamber of Commerce, representing Italian companies eager to return to invest in the country as soon as possible.
British companies are complaining that their French, Italian and German rivals have "stolen a march on Britain" in winning multi-billion pound contracts in Libya. But Chris Sanderson, the director for Control Risks leading business support in Libya, said there are still opportunities for British companies in infrastructure, civil security, oil and gas as well as banking, finance and telecommunications.
"There is clearly an opportunity for UK business to seek to recover commercially some measure of the UK's significant diplomatic and military investment," he said.
But no one has been as straightforward as France's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alain Juppe, who said, "When I am asked about the cost of the operation - the ministry of defense speaks of a million euros per day - I point out that it is also an investment in the future."
From multinational oil conglomerates to smaller companies in these NATO countries, war-torn Libya is simply a golden opportunity for profit.
But for the Libyan people the first priority is for life to return to normal. What they need is political and social stability, not foreign companies fighting over "lucrative contracts".
Libya is an independent nation-state as well as a member of the UN and Libya's future belongs to its people.
Therefore, the UN, whose Security Council adopted Resolution 1973 on Libya in March, has the responsibility to take a leading role in the rebuilding process.
It is good to hear that the UN has prepared a plan for bringing an integrated, politically led mission to Libya and its first aim is to get UN personnel on the ground as quickly as possible, under a robust Security Council mandate.
It should coordinate international efforts in providing humanitarian aid and other support necessary to the Libyan people, while guaranteeing Libya against any foreign interference in its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
After the six-month bloodbath, it's time for Libya to restore its stability and put a legitimate and inclusive government in place that is fully recognized by the international community.
