The print provider config file located on any secondary server or future installed secondary server.
If running PaperCut MF you may also need to reconfigure the MFDs to point to the new server address. See the article How to configure embedded software after a server migration or an IP/Hostname change for instructions for each device platform.
PaperCut MF deployments may also have the system.network-address advanced config key set, specifying a particular address for MFDs to preference when contacting the Application Server. It is wise to use the Advanced Config Editor to double-check the value of this config key. If the key's value is blank, no change will be required.
If the hostname is being changed and you would like to keep the same printer entries in PaperCut afterwards (i.e. to preserve settings and print history), then the printers in PaperCut must be renamed. See the article How to Rename a Printer for more details.
The impact renaming the server may have on shared printers, or shared file paths.
The URLs used to access the PaperCut server for remote administration may need to change - inform other administrators.
Always take time to test the system in full after making the changes. You may find the PaperCut Post Upgrade Test Plan useful.

When working in some situations large corded or 18V reciprocating saws sometimes are just too bulky to fit in tight places while a jigsaw would be too small and underpowered. For example, when you have to reach up inside a joist space and there is not enough room to move with most power saws (and definitely not enough room to get any productive strokes out of a hand saw) the Porter Cable PCL120CRC-2 12V Lithium Cordless Pivoting Reciprocating (Clamp) Saw Kit gives you complete functionality and precision control. It also shows how a reciprocating saw can be compact yet powerful all at the same time – and still pack in some cool features. Some of our favorite features include the 0-90 degree pivoting handle, adjustable clamping shoe and a 1/4 turn quick change blade release.
The Porter Cable PCL120CRC-2 12V Lithium Cordless Pivoting Reciprocating Saw Kit arrived in a cardboard box with everything individually packaged inside. The kit includes the 12V reciprocating saw, two lithium-ion batteries, 30 minute quick charger, two 4″ saw blades (one for cutting wood and one for metal), storage bag and the owner's manual. The body is made of gray Glass-Filled Nylon (GFN) and has a comfortable amount of black rubber overmold on it. The pivoting handle on this saw makes it able to tackle a wide variety of jobs since it has the ability to angle from 0 to 90 degrees. To pivot the handle there is a sliding switch that, when engaged, allows the handle to be locked in place at 0, 45 or 90 degrees. The saw has a built in LED work light that turns on when the trigger is slightly depressed, making work in low-light attics and crawlspaces even easier.
What really sets this saw apart from the competition is the adjustable clamping shoe that adjusts for cutting up to 2" pipe. To extend or close the shoe, you simply loosen the Allen head screw that locks it into place. A hex key for adjusting the clamping shoe is included and is securely stored when not in use on the right side of the saw. For a feature like this, where you might want to engage it more frequently, it would have been nice to see a tool-less adjustable solution. Blade changes are a breeze, however, you just give the blade clamp a 1/4 turn and you are good to go. Given that standard reciprocating saw blades fit into the quick release blade clamp, you have the ability to cut almost any material that you can get a blade for. Given that the saw only has 5/8-inch of stroke, we suspect that most folks would use this saw for smaller cutting projects and leave heavy-duty demo to the big boy sized saws. While the 30 minute quick charger has indicator lights on it to show the status of charging batteries and we are bummed that no battery level indicators are built into the tool or the batteries. The zippered storage bag holds everything in the kit very well with some space to spare for other tools and accessories.
To try out the cutting abilities of the Porter Cable PCL120CRC-2 12V Lithium Cordless Pivoting Reciprocating Saw we used it in a number of different applications. In one of the tests we used the included 4″ wood blade to cut through a piece of 2×4 lumber. We chose a 2×4 because it takes more energy and power to clear the blade of chips that are being cut as compared to cutting a piece of 1x that most saws (including this saw) can cut very easily. We secured a board in a vice and then started cutting and we noticed that the included wood blade was having a hard time cutting without the blade getting clogged up. We swapped out the wood blade with a 6" DeWalt bi-metal wood blade. With this blade the saw was able to make several cuts through the 2×4 without any trouble.
difficult, but that is not the case with this saw because the clamping shoe keeps the saw straight. It also minimizes the vibration transferred to smaller workpieces which allows for greater cutting control. One of the features that we really liked was the 0-45-90 degree pivoting handle because with it set at 90 degrees it fit and could be used in small spaces. Also in this configuration, the saw could double as a jigsaw with the right blade in place. Even though this saw is not a full size reciprocating saw replacement, it definitely has its place in many lines of work since it is able to accomplish a wide variety of tasks.
The Porter Cable PCL12OCRC-2 12V Lithium Cordless Pivoting Reciprocating Saw Kit demonstrates plenty of power and versatility for many situations. For heavy-duty applications like demolition, we suggest that you stick with its larger 18V or corded brothers. All in all, the saw proved to be lightweight, ergonomic and compact, and provided very good control when used on smaller workpieces. For our Performance rating, we gave this tool a 7/10 because it is a great performer in light to medium duty tasks. For are value rating, we give this kit a 6/10 because you get a great performing saw that is packed with features.


When it comes to cooking vegetables, fun sauces and flavors can certainly help in the taste department. But sometimes, I think simple is best.
Cooking vegetables simply really lets their natural flavors and textures shine. Not to mention, it's usually quick and easy to prepare and clean up. I took the simple approach to a vegetable that we cook often in our house – green beans.
Fresh green beans have a natural crispness that I love and don't like to lose, which can happen often when they're overcooked. Instead I like to veer on the side of almost undercooked, so that they're still crunchy and delicious!
All you need to enhance the flavor of these yummy veggies a little olive oil, shallot, salt and pepper. So simple and tasty!
You can change up the flavor a little bit if you'd like by changing the cooking fat. You can use a little bacon fat (my husband's favorite), butter, or ghee in place of the olive oil if you prefer.
These simple sautéed green beans pop up on our dinner table throughout the week pretty often, but they're also a great vegetable side dish to go with holiday meals, too. Enjoy!
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
Add green beans, shallot and garlic to pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until shallot is caramelized and green beans are crisp-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper before serving.

Reference to Ramayan removed from Ram Gopal Varma's Sarkar 3
BySubhash K. Jha
Created: May 9, 2017 - 10:13 am IST
Ram Gopal Varma's Sarkar 3 seems to have impressed the Censor Board of Film Certification. Sources at the CBFC describe the film as Ramu's best in years. However they've taken offence to a reference to Lord Hanuman in one of the dialogues and asked the director to remove it.
Says a source close to the development, "It's a dialogue where Hanuman and Vivibhishana, one who burnt down Lanka and one who ruled it, two characters from Ramayan are spoken about. We've asked them to delete the mythological reference as it doesn't go well with the scene of the crime in the film."
Apparently the jury members of the CBFC have been given power to impose a blanket ban on all mythological/religious references that are out of their original context. This is the second time 'Hanuman' has come under the censor scanner. Last month Anushka Sharma's Phillauri was told to get rid of actor Suraj Sharma's chanting of the Hanuman Chalisa.
CBFC chairperson Pahlaj Nihalani says, "We've to be very, very careful about religious sentiments. We're living in ultra-sensitive times where even a passing reference to a religious figure could trigger off legal action against the film's makers, and the CBFC. At the same time we're very careful to not disturb the flow of the narrative in any film. We ask for no changes that affect the story."

The Flight Attendant didn't really work for me.
Not a bad week considering my kids were on spring break and my husband was out of town so I was solo parenting!
They all look so good. Currently reading The Walk by Richard Paul Evans and "Tough Sh*t" by Kevin Smith who has a terrible mouth.
Wow, you really got a lot of reading done last week!
Looks like a lot of great books in your stack! I'm currently reading The Affliction by Beth Gutcheon. Only a couple of chapters in, so I can't tell yet if I like it.
Oh, that stinks! Gonna go find your review for it now!
Whooooaaaa solo parenting while your kids were on spring break?! I believe you deserve a large glass of wine for that… more like an entire bottle!
I'm sorry to hear The Flight Attendant didn't work for you. I've only read one Chris Bojahlain book before. Have you read any of his other books?
Haha yes I still need all of the wine!


Man, "Songs to Fan The Flames of Discontent" is my favorite Refused album, and what a time to really dig Refused being that they reunited.
I hate sleeping in an empty bed. I keep putting my hands out to feel safe and warm.
Leif Vollebeck!! The song "Don't go to Klaksvik" is really really good. Plus he's from my hometown!


TreeMap is an experimental program for comparing host and parasite trees. TREEMAP performs cophylogeny mapping from a dependent evolutionary tree (e.g., a group of parasites) into an independent one (e.g., the hosts of those parasites), in order to recover the best possible coevolutionary explanation for the relationship between the two . The archetypal example is of the coevolution of pocket gophers and their chewing lice.

Object Oriented JavaScript
======
#Object
* A container for values in the form of properties and functionality in the form of methods.
```javascript
var h1 = document.getElementById("header");
console.log(h1.innerHTML);
h1.innerHTML = "JavaScript is Awesome!";
alert(s);
```
* Provide functionality through methods.
* Provides data storage in properties
* The name of the property is a key
* The contents of a property is known as a value

## Types of Objects
1. Native Objects
   * Number
   * String
   * Array
   * Boolean
   * Object
2. Host Objects in the Browser
  * document
  * console
  * Element
3. Custom Objects

### Review
* Values stored in objects are properties
* Functionality encapsulated by an object is known as a method.
* A "String" is a Native Object
* An array is a Native Object
* The object's state is the condition of all values at a particular point in time
* The "document" is only available in the Web Browser and is a Host object.

## Object Literal
Examples:
```javascript
var person = {
  name: "Lauren",
  treehouseStudent: true
}
```
or
```javascript
person.name;
person.treehouseStudent;
person["full name"];
}
```
### Review
* If I had the key of "full name" how would I access the value of that property on an object?
  * person["full name"]
* Which of these is NOT a valid way to access a property, "name", on an object?
  * var key = "name"; cat.key; - cat.key is accessing a proptery called "key"
* All object property keys are of the type String?
  * True

## Constructor Function
* Describes how an object should be created
* Create similar objects
* Each object created is known as an instance of that object type

Example:
```javascript
function Contact(name, email) {
  this.name = name;
  this.email = email;
}

var contact = new Contact("Andrew", "andrew@teamtreehouse.com");
```

* "return this;" is not needed

### Review
* The prototype property allows you to add properties and methods to objects with the same constructor function.

## Prototypal Inheritance / Prototype Chain
* Which sentence best describes the first argument passed in to the call() method?
  * The first argument sets the value of this when the function is executed
* The technique used in JS to share functionality between similar types of objects isknown as: Prototypal Inheritance

ARA were asked by the Hyde Park Picture House to develop designs for its listed art-house cinema building. We came up with a design approach that was successful in winning a Heritage Lottery Fund grant for the project: our proposals included an exhibition of archive material including film programmes dating back to the cinema's opening night, restored original features and ensures its future as a working historic cinema for another century to come. A second screen is designed for the basement, with a new-build café extension linking this to the original foyer, giving the cinema a new set of spaces for events and outreach. The new extension is designed as a contemporary version of the great era of 'picture palaces', with a café window like a cinema screen.


In the past 12 months, Officeworks opened six new stores whilst at the same time reducing total energy consumption by three per cent from 58,627MWh to 56,793MWh.
This has been achieved through investment in a variety of energy reduction initiatives. Thirty-three existing stores, for example, were retrofitted with Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting. In total, 146 stores now have energy efficient lighting across the selling floor.
To better understand and optimise energy consumption, 92 stores had a Building Energy Management System (BEMS) installed. These BEMS have enabled lights and the heating/air-conditioning to be automatically turned on and off at times that align with the operational requirements of the store. The data from the BEMS has allowed heating and air-conditioning problems to be identified and rectified prior to scheduled maintenance or equipment failure.
This year saw Officeworks open its first store with solar panels. The North Lakes store in Queensland was an Officeworks development that enabled the installation of a 100-kilowatt solar system on the roof to utilise the intense sunlight. The renewable energy generated from the solar panels has supplemented over a third of the store's energy requirements.


After several weeks in La Cruz, we have done a fair amount of exploring and are always keeping an eye out for new adventures. On the morning cruiser's net, we learned about a woman named April and the guided tours she leads. When April announced on the radio that she would be leading a rather challenging hike through the rainforest, Trisha was quick to get us signed up. It was a nice coincidence that the hike would take place on Derrick's birthday.
This was NOT in the brochure!
We came upon a resort that had been abandoned in the late 1990's. It must have been quite a place in its day.
We reached the town of Quimixto to begin the hike to the falls. Eighty percent of the families in the town make their livelihood renting horses to tourists hiking the trail to the falls.
All in all, it was a great birthday for Derrick!

Double N Delivers
Apr 21, 2009 Bullpen, Jordan Zimmermann, Nationals, Nats, Washington Nationals
If you didn't get to watch the game, or weren't one of the dozens of people at the park yesterday, Jordan Zimmermann looked pretty impressive. Unflappable may be a better word. The 2 hour rain delay didn't seem to be a problem, for him at least. He was solid, and even in the inning where he actually gave up runs, he almost got out of a no-out triple to Chipper. Even after giving up the HR to Diaz, he seemed calm, and settled down to pitch two more great innings. The line looks nice – 6 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K. How about 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA to start out a career? But that's not what caught my eye.
I liked this: 1st inning – 6 pitches, 3rd inning – 10 pitches, 5th inning – 13th pitches, 6th inning – 8 pitches. He only struck out three, he was pitching to contact, attacking the zone blah blah blah. Here's the big thing: he wasn't trying to nibble the corners. It seems that whenever a young pitcher comes up, he's so worried about the big leaguers being able to hit him, that he can't throw strikes. But Zimmermann went right after the hitters. He had confidence in his stuff, and for the most part was rewarded. There wasn't much more you could expect out of his first outing, a success all the way for him.
The bullpen looked good, too. 3 innings without a run, and two of the four guys were part of the big callup yesterday. Everyone looked good, but most importantly Hanrahan was able to get 3 outs. That shot of confidence was probably very important to his ability to be effective in the near future. He had some real zip on his fastball, and despite some issues controlling the breaking stuff, he looked good. It's gotta be a shot in the arm to this team to be able to win a squeaker like that, without ever surrendering the lead once they had it.
I've mentioned this before – I really think the bullpen blowup was less about truly blowing it up and more about changing the team's attitude. If you don't perform, you are outta here, no excuses. But if they really wanted to blow it up, 4 of the 5 frontline bullpen guys wouldn't have stayed. The only top guy who went down was Saul Rivera, and he needs to work on mechanics or something, because he has been reliable all his career before this spring. Meanwhile, though Wells and Mock both pitched last night, they aren't the lead guys. Mock was only in because there was a delay during the 8th. But the go-to relievers haven't changed – it's still Hanrahan, Beimel, Tavares (who started warming up once Harahan let a runner get on) and Hinckley. The only change is the lack of Saul, and, hopefully, the attitude and performace of the group as a whole.

"More consistent crop thanks to ventilation and crop support"
Healthy roots are of paramount importance to having a healthy crop. However, threats are looming constantly. By offering better support to the crop bag and offering enough ventilation between the bag and the flow of drains, the Premium System with Hydroponic Systems conquers many of these. "Roots do not leave the bag, so neither drain holes are blocked by them nor roots are exposed to the outside, where they can easily be attacked by pathogens", a Mexican grower shares in a video update from the company.
"Our Premium System has hundreds of customers all over the world", Maria with Hydroponic System says. "The system to collect drainages in hydroponic crops caused a sensation in the past years and has conquered the biggest producers in more than 30 countries."
One of them is shown in the video. In the high-tech facility, over the last few years, they have used the Premium System. The Premium System incorporates the spacer (pat.), which allows a perfect support of the crop bag and enough ventilation between the bag and the flow of drains.
Thanks to the roots being better protected by the Premium System, root diseases and their contagion decreases, such as Fusarium. "The decrease in diseases means that: Plants can develop optimally, reaching their potential for growth and production, production costs decrease due to lower spending on phytosanitary products", Maria continues.
The grower compares the use with that of the "Unicel" (seedling trays protected by a plastic sheath), very widespread in Mexico. "The use of Unicel presents big problems in crops that can lead to serious losses in production and therefore to great economic losses. Roots come out of the crop bag, drainages cannot flow properly so puddles are formed under the crop becoming a diseases focus."
Meet Hydroponic Systems at Fruit Logistica, Hall 8.1, Stand A-16.

8. Kolayat Fair
Various festivals take place in incredible India and Kolayat fair is one of them. Being a major festival of Bikaner, this fair has grandiose celebrations.

The legend says that a saint named Kapil Muni meditated on the ghat of a lake called Kolayat for the redemption of mankind. He is still considered to be an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The celebrations start from the ghat named after him, i.e., Saint Kapil Muni with the pilgrims doing aarti, offering sweets to the lake and having a dip in the sacred lake. Since it is celebrated from the morning, it is continued throughout the day of full moon in the month of Kartik according to the Hindu Calendar.

NOTE: Before going any further, in order to format paragraphs in your document, launch Word and create a new document and enter text, or open an existing one - follow the links for the required steps.
As soon as you have your document open, you will first need to tap the A icon in the menu bar.
Now tap the Home menu item to open up the list of additional menus.
Tap Insert on this list to access the various layout options.
Now tap Table to insert a new table into the document.
The Table menu is now active, and a 3x3 table has been inserted into the document.
Of course you will probably need to alter the table to better suit your needs. To add new rows or columns to the table, tap Insert in the Table menu.
Here you can insert new rows by tapping Insert Above or Insert Below to insert a new row above or below the currently active one.
To insert new columns, tap Insert Left or Insert Right , to insert a new column to the left or the right of the currently active one.
Remember, that if you have a number of rows or columns selected, the insertion commands will insert that many rows or columns in the table. If you don't have any of them selected, you will get a single new row or column. This is how our table looks after inserting two additional rows and columns.
Deleting rows and columns is just as simple: first tap Delete on the Table menu.
To delete the active column, or the selected columns, tap Delete Columns .
To delete the active row, or the selected rows, tap Delete Rows.
Tapping Delete Table will of course remove the entire table from the document.
Tables don't have to be simple black-and white cells, you can spice them up with tons of preset and customizable styles! To apply a style, tap Table Styles on the Table menu.
A long list of plain, grid and list table styles will appear: tap the one that suits your table the b est.
If you have applied a style, you can further customize its options. To do so, tap Style Options on the Table menu.
Here you can enable or disable Header Row and Total Row to have the first and/or last row filled with a uniform color, which is great for defining table headers and totals.
Enabling Banded Rows makes the rows have alternating colors, while Banded Columns has the same effect on columns.
First Column and Last Column are similar to headers and totals: enabling them makes the first and/or last columns have a solid, uniform fill.
The last styling option, Repeat Header Rows makes the header row repeat on each page if the table spans multiple pages. Of course you need to turn on the Header Row setting for this to work.
To make table content look the way you want it, you might need to change its alignment.
To do so, tap Alignment on the Table menu.
The first three icons control horizontal alignment: tap them to align text to the Left, Center or to the Right, respectively.
The second row controls vertical alignment: use these to align text to the Top, Middle or the Bottom of the cell.
If you need to rotate text, tap Text Rotation on the Table menu.
Here you have three options, Horizontal being the default, but you can also rotate your text by tapping Rotate all text 90º or Rotate all text 270º.
Changing row or column sizes on a touchscreen would be hard, so Word offers different tools to size them. To access these options, tap AutoFit in the Table menu.
The first option, AutoFit Contents resizes the columns, so that each one is just as wide as the text inside it.
Tapping AutoFit Window makes the table as wide as the paper margins, thus the table will occupy all available space.
If you tap Fixed Column Width, you won't see any immediate changes: this option fixes the current column widths, so no matter how much text you enter or delete, the columns will stay at the same width.
The last way you can adjust rows and columns is by distribution. Tap Distribute on the Table menu to access these options.
Here you can tap Distribute Rows and Distribute Columns, which make all rows, and columns respectively, have the same height and width, thus tablespace is distributed evenly amongst them. Here you can see an example with long text in a cell and evenly distributed rows and columns.
The available tools for customizing tables in Microsoft Word for Android are surprisingly rich - almost every feature from the desktop edition has been included in the mobile app, so you can basically do whatever you want with your tables. Fortunately, these tools are also mobile-friendly, so you have the features you will possibly need and use. Handling tables can be frustrating on a mobile device, but Microsoft Word makes the job a bit easier with its one-tap tools and automatic features. If you have any questions regarding Microsoft Word on Android, keep asking them in the comments section, and stay tuned for even more in-depth tutorials.


No, this post is not just for women. But, it seemed a thought-provoking title, and maybe one that would make you wonder what in the world must be on my mind, since it so obviously goes against the grain of what you usually see at the end of that phrase.
We often think of being bound as a bad thing, and rightly so. In context, sometimes it does have a bad connotation. After all, don't we really want to be loosed from what bothers us? But, the topic on my heart tonight is dealing with the hurts that seem to plague us, and why it's a good thing to be bound…at least for a season.
I've been thinking about this subject for the last week or so, and knew I would soon write about it. Tonight I was prodded to do it as I was looking at the news feed on my Facebook page. I read a blog post done by a classmate of mine, who is now the pastor of a church. He spoke of God giving him the ability to forgive a hurt he suffered at the hands of another classmate over 30 years ago. He stated how we often carry those hurts for many years, even if we manage to shut out the memories for a long time. It is this former classmate's post that confirmed the need for this message to be written.
To be broken-hearted is a terrible thing. The Hebrew word for broken, 'shabar', speaks of something so broken that it would be nearly impossible to put it back together again. In the context of this passage, the Bible speaks of one who is wounded, almost beyond repair. It is also used in various places to describe the destruction of idols. When something is broken this badly, it is often not meant to be put back together the way it originally was.
We live in a fallen world, and broken relationships are very common. When I think of broken relationships, usually I think of a divorce or a situation where someone is estranged from another they once loved, whether it be a friend, family member, etc. But, it covers much more than that. A relationship can be broken by death, or even by disease or mental illness. I often speak with people whose lives have been marred by spiritual abuse. This is a very real problem, and causes wounds that usually take many years, and sometimes a lifetime, to recover from. Sometimes we suffer hurts at the hands of others that are so deep, the pain is indescribable. When the pain is so intense, we often feel so far from God, and doubt our ability to reach Him for the help we desperately need to mend our broken heart.
Being heartbroken is also the deep sense of betrayal we sometimes feel when a relationship has gone wrong. We don't want to feel that way, and we try our best to forgive. But, if we happen to run into that person, that past hurt begins to rise up in us, and we realize maybe we weren't as 'over it' as we originally thought. We may even seek the LORD, and ask to be free from it, even thinking at times we've been instantly delivered, only to find out later we still harbor hurt we didn't realize.
The mentality of our society leads us to believe if we just put a band-aid on top of it, everything will be OK, and we'll get over it someday. But eventually we find out a band-aid only does what a band-aid does best…serves as a cover so the wound won't be seen by anyone.
My mother-in-law has been a patient of our local wound care center for quite a few years. I often joke with them that they'll be able to give me a job one day, because I've gained so much experience in wound care. Over time, there's one thing I've learned. If someone has a deep physical wound, it can't simply be covered and left on its own. A deep wound must heal from the inside out. When a scab forms over a deep wound, they will regularly pull it off, clean out the wound, and cover it again to allow it to heal more. If the scab is not removed regularly, infection begins to build underneath, and will cause all kinds of internal problems if left untreated.
This is exactly how we function when we're hurt, and how the LORD heals us of our deep sufferings. It's a daily, often painful and time-consuming process. In order to heal properly, we must heal from the inside out. So often, we put our 'band aids' and happy faces on and go about our lives, giving no indication of the deep pain inside. But as we continue to cover it, it simply festers and grows into a greater problem than it was before.
In Luke 10, we see the account of the good Samaritan. He poured in both oil and wine to aid healing, and then bound the wounds of the injured man. Oil and wine…representing the Holy Spirit, going to work inside the deep places to clean and heal.
We become healed when we allow Jesus to apply the Holy Spirit, and 'bind up' the wounds that cause us so much pain. Yes, it's so uncomfortable and even painful to have that 'top layer' removed all the time, exposing the raw emotion underneath. But if we allow Him to work in our lives daily cleaning out that wound, over time it will become less and less painful as the healing progresses. Then when the healing is complete, there is nothing left underneath the surface to deal with later.
Why carry hurts around? God knows when it's taken up residence in our heart, and so do we. Refusing to deal with it only hinders our growth. He knows everything we feel anyway, so why not give it to Him? He is an expert 'binder'. Maybe it was never meant for your heart to be put back together the same way it was originally. With the trial comes strength and endurance that will outlast the suffering.
There will eventually come a time when the healing is complete, and that painful season will be over. Then and only then can we be loosed to fly again. Being bound is not always a bad thing. Rest in the care of the One who is the expert wound healer.
the broken relationship I have is with my daughter, who was killed in a car accident 3 years ago. As i have lived each day since then, I feel like the me I was before is gone…but that has not been a good thing for me, or a process of recovery, as much as I long for that, I am overwhelmed by missing my daughter, and feeling empty, lonely and bitter. When I see what this has done to my son, I pray for a miracle, for that is what it will be if his life turns out happy and healthy, for he carries so much pain. What do you think the process of letting go of this brokenness and hurt is?
I am so sorry to hear about the tragic loss of your daughter. Losing someone you love is so hard. I have also lost a daughter, but mine was a newborn baby. I imagine the pain of losing a child you've had with you for much longer would be harder.
I'm certainly not a grief expert, other than my own personal journey. Everyone is so different, and I don't know that there's a set process of letting go of the hurt. Although I will say that in my own personal life, I had always felt it was wrong for me to question God or 'be mad' at Him. I spent a long time refusing to admit to myself that I was angry with Him for allowing my baby to die. It took awhile, but one day I finally realized that He already knew I was mad, so why couldn't I just admit it to Him? It was hard for me, but I did it, and from then on, I just went to Him with everything I felt. I can truly remember that first day being a turning point for me in my grief. I'm not saying it works that way for everyone, but it did for me. It took awhile for me to really feel like I was letting it go, but it finally happened. You will never get over her death completely, but by God's grace and healing, you can move forward and one day remember her without all of the pain.
I would also recommend that you try to find a local grief support group. I don't know how old your son is, but he also needs someone to talk to if he will. It's very important that you find someone you can discuss your feelings with, and a support group is a good place to meet others that may have gone through a situation similar to yours. They can share strategies you can use to help you move forward. Many churches offer the Grief Share programs. They should also be able to refer you to other resources that can help you as well.
I pray you find peace and comfort for your aching heart. God loves you and won't leave you, but it does take time to get through the pain you're feeling. Run toward Him with all you have.
Thanks so much! I'm so happy to hear it blessed you. I appreciate the share!
Healing is a process. It can be long. It can be painful. The best healing is the kind that goes as deep as the wounding. It is hard to do…but so worth it.
onesurvivor, you are absolutely right. I think sometimes we really try to ignore our pain, thinking it will get better over time. But, in reality, it doesn't get better without going through that process. I believe God certainly can heal emotional pain instantly, and probably does in some cases. But, if we never have to go through the process of healing, then we have no reason to trust Him either.
Thanks for your comment, and for the share. I appreciate it so much!
Heather, this is so good…. thank you for sharing. Really touched me tonight as I read it. Love you!
Thanks Joni! I love you too!
Thank you Heather! God is talking to me through you with your message ! This one hits me right in the face…and I needed it. Sending you a HUG and thanks for being a Sister in Christ!

'Digital Democracy' Turns Average Citizens into Influencers in Africa
LONDON (VOA News) — From cashless payments to smartphone apps offering everything from taxis to take-out food – Africa's digital revolution is gathering pace as average citizens take an active role in public discourse.
"You're seeing a lot of the people changing the way they live their lives," says Maria Sarungi, founder of the #ChangeTanzania platform. "And also creating for themselves wealth, jobs, opportunities. But also to engage politically on a very different level."
Sarungi's #ChangeTanzania platform began as a social media hashtag but ballooned into an online social movement with an app and website listing dozens of petitions and initiatives ranging from demands for security cameras at bus stops to a community beach clean.
"Before [it] used to be people sitting on the streets just talking a lot about politics," says Sarungi. "But today they have become influencers. With the social media platforms, your voice can be amplified."
Women vendors display Nokia phone models for sale along with smartphones in Ikeja district in Nigeria's commercial capital Lagos, May 31, 2017.
In Uganda, the website Yogera, or 'speak out,' offers a platform for citizens to scrutinize government, complain about poor service or blow the whistle on corruption.
Kenya's Mzalendo website styles itself as the 'Eye on the Kenyan Parliament,' profiling politicians, scrutinizing expenses and highlighting citizens' rights.
Kenya, along with Rwanda and Angola, will hold major elections in August. In October, Liberian voters will go to the polls to choose a successor for President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, the first woman to head an African nation.
Potential backlash
But the new platforms for political engagement also risk a backlash.
"We are seeing governments trying to control as much as they can the virtual space," says Sarungi.
The founder of whistleblowing website Jamii Forums last year fell afoul of Tanzania's Cybercrimes Act and was charged with failing to disclose users' data.
"We are not against the government, nor judges, nor the police forces," says Maxence Melo, co-founder of Jamii Forums. "What we are against is the Cyber Crimes Act, which seems to oppress the people."
Melo's trial is due to take place next month.

Attending the Clinton Global Initiative: A Personal 2013 Highlight
By Heather Shapter
At the end of Sept 2013, I got to fulfill a dream for the second time this year – to attend the Clinton Global Initiative. Established in 2005 by President Bill Clinton, the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), an initiative of the Clinton Foundation, convenes global leaders to create and implement innovative solutions to the world's most pressing challenges. CGI Annual Meetings have brought together more than 150 heads of state, 20 Nobel Prize laureates, and hundreds of leading CEOs, heads of foundations and NGOs, major philanthropists, and members of the media. To date CGI members have made more than 2,300 commitments, which have improved the lives of over 400 million people in more than 180 countries. When fully funded and implemented, these commitments will be valued at more than $73.1 billion.
The mission of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) is to turn ideas into action.
As I prepared for my trip to the 2013 CGI meeting – Mobilizing for Impact – in New York City, I reviewed the agenda which included such topics as:
Refueling the Fight Against Poverty
Creating Business at the Base of the Pyramid
Women Decision-makers in the Global Economy
I felt like this CGI meeting was meant for me and all of the issues that most mattered to me.
I was also struck by the agenda items of:
Vital Resources: Doing More with Less
Mobilizing Financial Resources in times of Crisis
These topics were reflective of people's greatest frustration: how could do they do more with less? This frustration played out at several levels.
At the global level, CGI paints the picture of both the challenge and opportunity of doing more with less:
By 2030, energy demand worldwide is forecasted to increase by 50 percent, while more than two-thirds of the world's population may face serious water shortages. The essential natural resources that provide heat, light, food, and income to the global population are threatened by long-term demographic and development trends. Individuals, communities, and businesses around the world can work together to bridge the gap in supply and demand for nature's services.
And at the individual organization level, the same frustration of doing more with less was a hot topic. From our work with a number of organizations, we see that some answers lie in a new kind of leadership and as well as setting up a structure to empower that new kind of leadership.
Secret Sauce to Doing More with Less
Developing Leadership Within and Around You
The leadership model for the 21st century requires that people in every role in their company be leaders in the positions they happen to hold. Leadership is no longer about executives and senior managers dictating what needs to happen. The solution is found in how you establish and master relationships and partnerships as a leader. Ultimately, you have to develop the leader within you and then support those around you to do the same.
The Triad: Structure to Empower Innovation and Productivity
A triad includes three people who come together and operate in a manner consistent with the below:
•Triad support structure in place based on common business initiatives
•Establish and align on resonant values
•Common goal or project
•Create safe space; Provide honest feedback to one another
•All for one and one for all (responsibility)
•Accountability
•Peer to peer to peer relationship
•All points of view are considered
•Leverage each other's strengths/manage around weaknesses
Benefits of working together in a triad:
•Experience more time
•Increase overall business results by 30%
•Having two other people directly supporting you in your goals
•Higher success rate of sustainability strategies
The triad structure and its benefits are detailed in the New York Times bestseller Tribal Leadership by Dave Logan, John King and Haley Fischer-Wright principles and are based on an 8-year study of 24,000 people in two dozen organizations. This study mapped – for the first time – five stages of corporate culture and the unique leverage points that can be used to nudge a group forward to higher levels or performance, without using additional resources.
An Unpredictable Surprise : A Moving Demonstration of Producing More with Less
As we walked into the final plenary session, we were surprised to see a group of children musicians and singers before us. Before the performance, we were told that these student musicians came from low income families from Mexican communities and were part of a network of youth orchestras and choirs that provide young people a better quality of life. Esperanza Azteca, as the musician network is called, seeks to form better human beings through music. The project is a joint effort among local communities, local, state and federal governments and the Mexican Chamber of Deputies, spearheaded by Fundacion Azteca. The program currently features 55 orchestras in Mexico and El Salvador, encouraging values such as discipline, excellence and teamwork in over 13,000 talented youth.
The first piece was wonderful, featuring a trumpeter who we later learned had just lost both of his parents. The second piece marveled the first with a young violinist at the helm. And then a young boy – perhaps 9 or 10 moved to the front of the orchestra – and then began to sing. Our jaws dropped. We were witnessing the next Luciano Pavarotti in the making. Watch and listen for yourselves:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAs5aFSVowo
A group of Mexican children so drove home the point of producing something extraordinary with very little to start with.
How could you accomplish more with less – less time; less resources? Let's ask it another way. With whom could you accomplish more with less? With which two other individuals could you begin working on a common and inspiring joint goal that neither one of you could accomplish on your own?

"Only a few steps from the Rijksmuseum, you will find this art-deco building with a rich history. Inside, you will discover a delightful swimming pool.
In 1912, when the Zuiderbad opened, it was far ahead of its time. Both central heating and electric lighting made it possible for bathers to use the impressive building in the winter as well. It may not be a pool for the professional competitive swimmer, but a passer-by wanting to absorb the ambience of one of Amsterdam's delights would do well to step inside, pull on swimming togs, and try the dappled water." (source: I Amsterdam) Every swimmer in Amsterdam has been to the Zuiderbad at the corner of the Museumplein.
Amsterdams oldest and most famous pool is surrounded by even more famous buildings. It is surrounded by history. When asked to make a large print for the Zuiderbad the Zart design team (Stephen Dumayne & Esther Vreeland) immedialtely knew: we have to make it a work of living history. Being specialised in Ditch Icons and collage, they were the perfect duo get this job done. In the collage you will see many contextual elements, like the red stones and people from the past and the present. Not unimportant in the history of the bicycle: the Velox fabric. Amsterdams first bike company! Zart made a moodboard and a few drafts before gettingto the final collage. The gallery below reflects the process.

Why the DOJ is backing a whistleblower's claims of medical fraud
By Christina Jewett	/ May 25, 2016
In a lawsuit, a former hospital executive says Prime Healthcare Services urged doctors to admit emergency room patients to the inpatient wings if they were covered by Medicare or private insurance.

The U.S. Department of Justice is backing a whistleblower who claims that hospital chain Prime Healthcare Services inappropriately urged doctors to transfer emergency room patients into hospital beds.
In a lawsuit, a former hospital executive alleges that the chain overlooked medical need and whisked emergency room patients to the inpatient wings of the hospital if they were covered by Medicare or private insurance. Nonpaying customers, the case alleges, were shown the door after a cursory stay.
By joining the False Claims Act lawsuit, the Justice Department brings additional legal firepower and evidence from an independent probe that validates aspects of the whistleblower's case.
The Center for Investigative Reporting exposed allegations of the profit-motivated practice in a 2011 report. We analyzed public data showing that after the chain took over a hospital, the percent of seniors admitted into the hospital from the ER spiked, usually from about 40 percent to more than 60 percent.
One woman said she felt like she was in the "Twilight Zone" as physicians at a Prime hospital overruled her family's objections to admitting her grandmother, who hoped to see her own doctor at a nearby hospital.
Months after the story ran, whistleblower Karin Berntsen filed suit. Berntsen was director of quality and risk management at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego County. Her lawsuit claims that patients who didn't meet the threshold required for hospital admission were admitted anyway.
Magistrate Judge Patrick J. Walsh ruled today that federal civil fraud attorneys in Los Angeles can join the case and will have 30 days to file a complaint. Government prosecutors tend to review whistleblower cases alleging taxpayer fraud and choose whether to back each case. Elaine Stromgren, a partner with the Tampa, Florida-based law firm suing Prime on Berntsen's behalf, said the move "shows the seriousness of the allegations and the strength of the evidence supporting those claims."
Berntsen's lawsuit describes multiple instances when chain Chief Executive Prem Reddy asked staff to improperly admit patients from the emergency room into the hospital instead of observing them on an outpatient basis. Medicare reimburses hospitals more for patients who are admitted, compared to those who are observed on an outpatient basis and released. Berntsen recounted a January 2011 meeting where Reddy allegedly told doctors that "you can always find a reason to make the (emergency room) patient an inpatient."
Berntsen also alleges that unlicensed "clinical documentation specialists" were coached to exaggerate patient medical conditions in medical records to justify admitting them to the hospital.
The Justice Department initially declined to back Berntsen's claims in 2013, when the case initially was made public. However, attorneys announced this week that their independent investigation into Berntsen's claims has turned up sufficient evidence for federal civil fraud attorneys to join the suit.
The DOJ filing says that since late 2013, investigators have talked to witnesses at different Prime hospitals who said Reddy would demand the firing of ER doctors who passed up opportunities to admit patients into the hospital. Investigators also learned that Reddy told physicians to find a way to admit all seniors older than 65, since they were covered by Medicare.
Berntsen's lawsuit also alleges that Prime engaged in what's known as "upcoding." This is the practice of falsifying patient medical conditions to justify higher bills to Medicare and other payers. The allegations align with CIR's findings, showing that the hospital reported outsized rates of rare and lucrative medical conditions. The maladies include kwashiorkor, a severe form of malnutrition typically associated with sub-Saharan Africa.
Berntsen claimed that the practice hurt patients, since doctors would justify the billing by giving patients unnecessary medications and care. The Justice Department did not move to back those claims.
As in other False Claims Act cases, the whistleblower stands to gain a windfall if she wins the case.

My name is Dylan G. Smith and I'm a working artist that also designs and crafts for Jesse James/Dress It Up. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts from Pratt Institute of Art in Brooklyn, NY and now create and reside in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania. When I'm not writing for the Dress It Up Craft blog, I can be found in my cave where I'm blasting metal and producing work for upcoming exhibitions. In my (extremely limited) spare time, I enjoy hiking through the woods, looking for bones and skulls, reading, collecting antiques and oddities, and perfecting my vegan cheesesteak recipe.
I am a new addition to the Dress It Up Crew. My name is Cady Z and I went to School of Visual Arts, in Manhattan and graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design. I have always been an artsy, crafty kinda girl and enjoy being part of this new crew. Outside of here you could find me sewing, screen printing , and running any hiking trail in the area.
I saw your wonderful tshirt creations at AC Moore using the retro owls, and petal party buttons. Where can I find the iron-on template?
We're glad you love them! AC Moore will have the template and project sheet up on their website shortly! I can let you know as soon as I see that it's up!


Im looking at a Sears 135mm lens but it says it has a KR mount.... not sure what that is, will the lens mount to a K20D??
The difference between K mount and KR is a tiny pin which has no use on a Pentax camera, but may get caught in the AF drive of the K mount and get the lens stuck on your camera.
The pin can be removed if you are game enough to open the lens, or ground off using a small Dremel or similar.
Yes, it should be very easy to remove the lens back plate from your lens and get rid of the offending pin (by the way, it's the one more or less diametrically opposite the red dot). The dremel sounds a bit nasty (and unnecessary) to me.
Do not be tempted to mount it on your camera until you've done this!
Cool.... thanks for the advice.
Bear in mind that there are two varieties of Ricoh pins -- the actual protruding pin, which should be removed; and a rounded nub, which is no trouble. I have never encountered the toxic pin. I have read that if you hold a KR lens and manipulate the aperture ring and levers, the pin will extrude. So, that's a test to see if you need to pull the lens apart, remove the pin, and reassemble. Various threads here discuss that minor surgery. Good luck!
Bobbo: Thanks for the link. I need to remove one of those soon.
Before I learnt there could be a problem I made the same mistake, ending up with a Ricoh-mount lens apparently "permanently" mounted on my Pentax camera.
I'm not recommending this procedure as an only solution, but forward it as a possible way out of an otherwise awkward situation.

Giving Women Greater Access to Land: The National Policy and the Measures taken in Odisha

Lecturer in History, Government Women's College, Sambalpur, Odisha
For centuries, Indian families that traditionally remain strongly patriarchal, women have occupied a position subordinate to men. In patriarchal families especially in India, women have always been expected to render service for the men and the family, the question of her rights and her title in land has been subsumed to be that of her husband. The public discourse in India on 'women and land rights', the initiatives of providing women greater access to land and to strengthen their land rights in recent years have drawn the interest of the academia in the country. It is observed that in rural India women participate in almost every aspect of agricultural work ranging from toiling of the field to sowing, weeding and harvesting. But they lack effective and secure legal rights to land. Lack of effective land rights often places rural women especially engaged in agriculture in a disadvantageous position from different perspective including her standing vis-a -vis with men. In fact, empowerment of women for placing them on par with men hinges among other things on their right to hold and inherit property. This paper intend to examine the legal provisions made at the national as well as the state level to provide women access to land and the hiatus that exist in precept and practice.

Keeping track of storage
By Alan Radding
Summer IT hot spots
The inner workings of SRM
Deploying SRM
Managing an information technology storage environment can be, to say the least, challenging. As users clamor for more space to store files and data across
numerous devices, many IT managers find it difficult to keep track of how much storage capacity is available, how it is allocated and how much is actually used.
These are the simple problems. The tougher questions involve ascertaining how recently or how often a file has been accessed or how many duplicates of a given dataset are stored. Without answers to those questions, IT managers cannot wisely plan and manage their storage
environments.
To address such issues, IT staff members typically review log files on many servers and manually input the findings into spreadsheets. It is a slow, tedious, costly process that consumes staff resources at a time when government agencies are facing constrained IT budgets.
However, a set of products centered on a concept called storage resource management (SRM) could give IT managers some much-needed relief. SRM consists of capabilities that help managers identify their storage needs and track usage for efficient utilization, storage planning and capacity management.
According to Mike Karp, an analyst at Enterprise Management Associates Inc., a full set of SRM capabilities includes: storage capacity discovery, topology mapping, reporting, event management, path management, dependency analysis, capacity management, organizational knowledge, performance management, security management and trend analysis. SRM capabilities also may include chargeback and storage automation.
The driving force behind SRM today is "the need to get the most value out of your existing storage hardware," Karp said. SRM addresses this need by identifying an organization's storage capacity and how it is being used.
Given the difficulty of identifying storage capacity and utilization without SRM, IT managers often find it easier to buy more storage capacity even though they have excess capacity elsewhere. If they knew what was available and how it was being used or not used, as the case may be they could put any unused capacity to work instead of buying more.
SRM also helps IT managers free disk space by identifying data that doesn't need to be stored at all, such as unnecessary duplicates, unneeded data or data that should never have been stored in the first place, such as personal JPG or MP3 files.
"We expect to get a 20 percent increase in storage capacity just from implementing Computer Associates [International Inc.'s] BrightStor SRM," reports Glenn Exline, manager of advanced technologies at the Air Force's 45th Space Wing, Cape Canaveral, Fla.
The increase comes painlessly. "We run reports and see how many of the stored files are owned by nobody by people whose accounts have been deleted," he said. Those files can be moved off primary storage immediately and are often deleted altogether.
Exline also uses the SRM tool to find files that have not been accessed for two years or are duplicates. "If they haven't been used for two years, we move them to low-cost [Advanced Technology Attachment] storage arrays rather than our primary Fibre Channel arrays," he said. He deletes duplicate files.
SRM encompasses a wide range of capabilities. IT managers in government agencies do not have to buy or implement every feature to begin getting a payback from the technology. As officials at the 45th Space Wing discovered, you can start getting results from just the core SRM capabilities. Such features include discovery, reporting and monitoring, said Barry Ader, director of software products at EMC Corp.
Through discovery, the SRM tool identifies all the storage capacity that can be accessed via the corporate networks wherever it may reside and regardless of the platform. Administrators run the discovery function as soon as the SRM tool is installed and often immediately discover unused storage capacity.
Reporting allows officials to analyze storage usage more closely. Exline, for
example, runs reports to identify duplicate files or long-dormant files. Monitoring enables managers to follow the performance of an organization's applications to ensure that they are getting the storage they need to meet service-level requirements.
But one doesn't have to implement everything to earn benefits.
Officials at the California Department of Health Services' Genetic Disease Branch, turned to Veritas Software Corp.'s Quota Advisor, a component of the company's larger Storage Central SRM product, when they found the group was running out of disk capacity.
Using Quota Advisor, branch officials were able to assign and enforce storage quotas for users for the first time. When users exceed their quotas, they are warned to delete unnecessary files. "Now we are able to keep certain types of files completely off the storage, and we have avoided having to do drastic data deletion," said Deborah Moorer, a Microsoft Corp. Windows NT administrator at the branch.
Once SRM basic functionality is implemented, administrators can add
advanced SRM features as needed. These
include path management, which is
particularly useful when there is a storage-area network, a high-speed subnetwork of shared storage devices.
Path management identifies and monitors the use of various network infrastructure elements such as switches, ports and host bus adapters. Capacity management draws on current and past usage to predict the rate of storage growth. It enables managers to intelligently add storage capacity. For internal billing purposes, chargeback tracks the amount of storage consumed by individual users, workgroups or departments.
Finally, there is the question of automation. Until recently, SRM products generally lacked the ability to automate complex functions such as provisioning, which is the process of assigning storage. The SRM tool could identify when a particular application exceeded a threshold but couldn't automatically add more
Now vendors are including automation capabilities as part of their SRM packages, said Dennis Martin, analyst at the Evaluator Group. "The vendors will offer different levels of automation depending on the customer's concerns about control," he said.
The combination of SRM and automation lays the foundation for information life cycle management (ILM), in which data is automatically moved to the most cost-effective storage based on various criteria such as age or frequency of access.
"We want to get to ILM, which will let us efficiently manage vital data," Exline said. Getting there begins with SRM.
Radding is a freelance journalist based in Newton, Mass. He can be reached at alan@radding.net.
THE PAYBACK
The payback from storage resource management can come quickly. SRM lets users discover unused storage capacity and more efficiently use what they have. It helps identify and remove data that shouldn't have been stored in the first place, freeing up disk space for the data users really want to save.
"The payback comes right away when you discover storage you didn't think you had," says Mike Karp, an analyst at Enterprise Management Associates Inc. It also eliminates the purchase of unnecessary storage and delays the need for buying additional storage.
SRM automation reduces the cost of labor involved in managing the actual storage. Officials at the Air Force's 45th Space Wing, Cape Canaveral, Fla., estimate that SRM software from Computer Associates International Inc. will free up 20 percent of the wing's existing 6.5 terabytes of capacity.
Officials at Veritas Software Corp., a storage software provider, claim the company's software can provide an organization with a 102 percent risk-adjusted return on investment over three years and a payback period of 19 months, as shown in a study by market researcher Giga Information Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of Forrester Research Inc.
The study was based on interviews with four Veritas customers who use the company's SANPoint Control software.

Q: create On/off button with slide I want to create on/off button with slide .
I am using this Technic:
I put the buttons in the same position and one is visible and the other is hidden.
and when I click on one the other button is appeared and the clicked is disappeared.
Now How can I make that button slide-able.
Here is the buttons:

How can i do this ?

A: try using Switch but, if you are ok with minSdkVersion>=14.
hope following code helps you out.
In Layout Xml create a switch like:
<Switch
     android:id="@+id/on_off_switch"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:textOff="OFF"
     android:textOn="ON"/>

Then in your activity get a switch from layout and set listener as follows,
Switch onOffSwitch = (Switch)  findViewById(R.id.on_off_switch);
onOffSwitch.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {

    @Override
    public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"isChecked"+isChecked, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
});
