Centreville UMC has covenant partnerships with missionaries and communities around the world. These partnerships are much more than simply a financial commitment. They are dynamic relationships where the church and missionary or community pray for one another and communicate regularly. You're invited to join in the partnership with these missional partnerships.
Abukoli
As a result of prolonged conflict in South Sudan, many communities are in need of clean water, reliable food sources, infrastructure, education, and trauma counseling and support. While these are problems on a very large scale, we can make a difference one community at a time. The mission of Abukloi is to build an educational and vocational training facility in Rumbek, South Sudan that will provide essential skills and training for regional Southern Sudanese. This facility will also serve as a community center for Rumbek, providing a central place to come together and work at rebuilding their country and their lives.
CUMC has worked to raise funds for building the newly established school by hosting, among other things, a live animal show. The Thank God for Kids Ministry brought lions, tigers, camels and other exotic animals to the church for a biblically based performance by Pastor and former Barnum Bailey Ringmaster, Dr. Gary Lavender.

Helping Haitian Angels
Helping Haitian Angels is a Christian organization caring for orphaned and abandoned children in Northern Haiti by raising them to become healthy, happy, Christian members of their communities who will have the tools to positively impact future generations.
…whoever is kind to the needy honors God - Proverbs 14:31
CUMC's first HHA Mission Team served in Cap Haitian, Haiti at the Kay Anj (Angel House) orphanage in October 2013. They are currently working on a project to create a library at the orphanage. The hope is to provide book shelves, bean bag chairs, carpet, a computer with software, and lots of books.
Each week, an "Angel of the Week" is selected for special prayers. CUMC makes this child's name and description available through the Facebook page and prayer list.
How you can be involved:
CUMC's Haitian Angel team is raising funds to build and support a library at the new facility. Support our Singing Rooster Fair Trade coffee sales or look for an opportunity to give a donation and receive your very own "Angel". You are always welcome to buy a children's book in Creole, French or English and donate it to the library.

Lithuania is about the size of West Virginia. It is one of the three Baltic nations formerly under the Soviet Union. Although once one of the largest states in Europe (1400s), its history is one of shifting borders, and living under adverse external politics and dominance by a long series of conquering powers. Lithuania struggles with considerable alcoholism and divorce, high unemployment and one of the highest suicide rates in the world as leftovers from the Soviet times. Along with the other two Baltic states, they fear new intrusions and occupation these days from Russia like have happened recently in Ukraine and Georgia.
Centerville UMC first started sending mission teams to Siauliai in 2006 at the request of the District Superintendent of Lithuania who asked that a team come and help with refurbishing of a Methodist building constructed prior to WWII. The teams are part of the Volunteers in Mission program of the United Methodist Church. Since 2006, there have been several different construction projects including help with building a new sanctuary.
Over the years the relationship has shifted from construction to social programs supporting the congregation and children in the community. Our mission teams have provided programs and support for women and children. The women's programs have focused on developing spirituality and raising self-esteem. The children's programs have been faith-based presentations for pre-school and elementary aged children at a residential school for speech-impaired children. More recently, our teams have joined with the congregation in their outreach program to teens at the nearby Children's Home for social orphans. Our mission team traveled to Lithuania in September 2015. The focus of the mission team includes workshops for the women and programs for the children in the orphanages. There is also continued support for the church's own outreach program for youth from the Children's Home.
The next mission trip to Lithuania will be in November 2016 to support a Women's Retreat for women from all of the Methodist churches in Lithuania.

In the fall of 2007, I began attending Auburn University and got connected with Auburn Christian Fellowship (ACF). That same fall a guest speaker, Phil Tatum, from CMF International came to tell the students at ACF about opportunities to do international campus ministry. A seed was planted in my heart when I heard the words, "We're about to launch a ministry in Germany!" I thought going over there at some point might be fun. Little did I know that over the next five years God would be working to turn "that might be fun" into a love for Tübingen and the students there.
What happened during those five years? I stayed involved at ACF, served on leadership teams there until I graduated, continued to hear stories about what was happening at Unterwegs, and, this past year, I was an intern at ACF. Throughout the time I spent at ACF, any time I had a conversation about missions or someone asked me, "So, what's next," my mind immediately jumped to Germany. So, I visited Unterwegs in May 2012 and fell in love with the students, the town, and the team. My time there was nothing short of perfect. This is where God is leading me and I am joyfully following Him there.
In April 2013, I arrived in Germany to serve with the campus ministry team known as Unterwegs in Tübingen. I will build friendships with university students, drawing them to a relationship with Christ and helping them to be part of a loving community.

The San Vito lo Capo Project
The field school
Overview & Syllabus
The 2018 season
Millstone's site
Information & application
Become involved in a truly project of research
Dive into the wonderful depths of Sicily
San Vito lo Capo is an area rich in nature and history
Last spaces available at cut price to attend the
2019 Underwater archaeology field school in San Vito lo Capo
for those enrolling by august 25th.
Click here for additional info and requirements
Since the onset of navigation San Vito lo Capo's bay (Sicily) and the surrounding area played a fundamental role first as harbouring site and later as trade and production centre.
Both terrestrial and maritime finds have confirmed a local human presence since prehistoric times and have show how this peninsular area of the Sicilian coastline became a vital link in the routes of Mediterranean sea trade.
Between 1988 and 2008 a number of research campaigns that combined both local and international expertise were conducted in the area and revealed several underwater archaeological sites.
Following the initial scientific work, the first field school project was also started in 1992, allowing for students, professionals, and amateurs of all levels to learn through participation in the discovery, excavation, and recording of archaeological material.
Research started then once again in 2013, with the creation of the on-going San Vito lo Capo Underwater Project. Utilizing the latest technological methods, this project is in the process of completing a systematic survey of the seabed around areas that were subjected to past campaigns as well as of some new sites, utilizing the latest technological techniques.
Under the supervision of professional archaeologists the field school has also been reopened, to students and graduates in archaeology, architecture, marine biology, geology, and also to professionals or amateurs wanting to increase their working experience and knowledge of underwater archaeological sites.
Next summer there will be two Underwater Archaeology Field Schools, divided into two or three week-long sessions, one between the 10th and the 23rd of June and one between the 2nd and the 22nd of September.

The search for expanded states of consciousness is part of the human experience. With technology developing at a breakneck pace, people are increasingly interested in how to best "hack" their daily life for enhanced productivity, emotional satisfaction, and even physical well being. Transhumanism, or the belief that humans can use technology to evolve past their current limited physical and mental experience of life, presents an interesting question on the subject of consciousness: can technology lead us to higher states of consciousness, or is it just the opposite — a weight dragging us back into the heaviness of the material world?
Proponents of transhumanism say that humans are clearly still in the early stages of our evolution, and the next logical step forward includes using all available technologies to evolve (humans in transition or transhumanism). There's even the potential for us to become human beings that are so radically different from ordinary folk as to deserve the title "post humans".
This idea of human transformation is not new — there are traditions stretching back centuries dealing with how to reach the heightened state of consciousness known as enlightenment, how to attain eternal life, and how to live a transcendent existence.
So how does one transcend the pain, problems, and general clunkiness of ordinary life in the physical world? Technology offers undeniable help in day-to-day functioning, but is it enough to actually transform the human race?
Modern biohackers, also known as "grinders", like Amal Graafstra, have found ways to develop what you might call extrasensory perceptions, akin to a sixth sense. This isn't something like intuition or clairvoyance however; these sixth senses require implants to extend the capabilities of the human body. Whether using RFID technology to open doors, unlock a laptop, or even perceive the location of true north, Graafstra believes that embeddable tech is the next step in human evolution. He even started his own company, Dangerous Things, which allows people to order DIY implants, ready for injection, so they can experiment with embeddable tech on themselves.
Is the step from ordinary person to enhanced transhuman inevitable? We seem to be going in that direction, given some of the latest technological strides which blur the lines between humans and machines.
Brain implants already exist to help patients with Parkinson's disease control body tremors and patients with epilepsy monitor seizure activity. But what if a brain implant could enhance your current physical capabilities, rather than mitigate a health issue?
A treatment called TDCS (Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation) involves strapping electrical nodes to your head and receiving a small zap of electricity to the brain. The outcome? Proponents cite memory stimulation, reduction of anxiety and brain fogginess, and enhanced ability to solve problems.
There's also a recent University of Barcelona study delving into a sort of telepathic email transmission. Researchers have successfully sent brain-to-brain (B2B) thought transmissions between human subjects in India, Spain and France. By strapping on electroencephalography (EEG) headsets which detected the brainwaves from the transmitter, the thoughts were able to be received via the internet to the headset of the receiver, and then electrically transmitted directly to the receiver's brain.
The company MicroCHIPS is developing a contraceptive microchip that can be implanted under the skin. This cutting-edge device is capable of storing 16 years worth of birth control which is dispensed daily in a woman's body, and is capable of being turned "on" and "off" remotely, depending on whether she wishes to conceive. Proponents cite convenience in family planning, not having to remember to take a pill, and not needing to have the device removed for 16 years, unlike other forms of contraception currently in the market which last for only 5 years.
Football fans can now track all the game day movements of their favourite players. The NFL, in conjunction with Zebra Technologies, is rolling out real-time location systems (RTLS) in 17 stadiums this year. This will allow RFID chips placed in player's shoulder pads to transmit an unprecedented level of real-time data about their speed, acceleration, and distance run. One has to wonder if it's only a matter of time before the RFID chips make their way from player's uniforms into their bodies.
Is Tech Shrinking or Expanding our Consciousness?
Wearable or implantable tech and transhumanism are quite loaded subjects and raise many ethical questions, along with valid concerns about privacy and safety (hackers tampering with other's embedded medical devices comes to mind). While being able to unlock doors with the wave of your hand or swallow a pill full of medical nanobots may sound attractive to some, it's worth considering whether these technologies are giving us more freedom, or less.
A key tenet of transhumanist philosophy is the ability to transform our normal, mundane human experience into an enhanced, even radically different way of life. The goal is to be transformed through the use of technology — biohacking your way to a new you, as it were.
Could humanity be searching for transformed existence in an erroneous way? There are no guarantees that completely revamping your material existence will bring lasting happiness for example, and some people display sixth-sense type heightened abilities like clairvoyance or clairaudience without the use of tech implants.
Anecdotal evidence of precognition, telepathy, intuition, and out-of-body experiences suggests that human consciousness is capable of experiencing a much deeper level of life than what is commonly accepted as normal. Through spiritual practice our consciousness is capable of growing and gaining knowledge of a finer type than the best technologies can offer.
For instance, if we want to feel energised and mentally clear without the need for a battery and electrical nodes we could implement the ancient practice of awareness of the present moment in daily life. Or for those who want to really push the limits of human existence and safely explore what happens after death, astral projection is a viable option.
While there isn't an exact point-for-point correlation between the claimed enhancements biohacking offers and the potentials that exist by developing human consciousness spiritually, the premise is very similar: exalting the human condition and surpassing the limitations of the physical senses and body.
With spiritual development however, there is no reliance on an additional chip, machine, or electrode to reach profound knowledge and heightened states of being, because consciousness is not bound by the limits of the physical body. As an added bonus, unlike modern technology, no one can remove or steal the knowledge we gain from awakening, and we're even in a much better position to recognize and deal with those who would try to manipulate us physically or mentally when we have expanded consciousness.
The body is impermanent and will eventually die, but consciousness continues after death. This is explained in many spiritual traditions and revealed in phenomena like Near-Death Experiences (NDEs). The level of consciousness we attain in life through spiritual awakening continues when our body is no more, as consciousness itself evolves through awakening, not the body – which is just a temporary vehicle for it. While spiritual awakening sets consciousness free from the limitations of the body and the five senses, depending on a body integrated with technology for evolution and heightened perception only serves to further bind our existence and perception to the the transient material realm, which is only a small part of our existence, and has a definitive end. Furthermore, altering the body with technology could interfere with our natural capacity to use our time in the physical world to awaken consciousness.
In much the same way as our hyper-connectedness can hinder spiritual development, over-reliance on technology has the potential to keep our consciousness firmly bound to the material world, only capable of interpreting information gleaned from the five senses. This is not to say technology in itself is bad, or that we should stop our pursuit of future technologies. It would just be a shame to confuse biohacking with the opportunity to truly evolve through awakening consciousness. The generation of children growing up right now immersed in technology, not knowing anything else, could easily think the only way to experience an enhanced life is through physically augmenting oneself. But non-physical spiritual evolution, through direct contact and knowledge of the divine, will trump material progress every time.
Well you are entitled to your opinion. But transhumanism/biohacking is a left hand path pursuit. Now when we speak of the left hand path, the first thought that comes to mind are words like "evil, devil worship," etc etc. Highly relative terms. Everyone has their different ways of approaching spirituality. Lhp is all about bettering oneself and showing compassion only to those we believe to deserve it. Some might find that egotistical but at least in my mind, it is honest.
Dara, I am on a spiritual path . . . as a slow evolutionary, if you will. I see that transhumanist thought is pervasive amongst much of the younger generation.
I am a practitioner of spiritual modalities (Tai chi, yoga, meditation). I find that many people finds these practices boring, uninteresting, mundane. They do jot want to spend time time connecting with their inner universe so that they can more easily align with the cosmos.
The lure of transhumanism promises a leap beyond what is considered human. However, IMO, it can never fully replace the cosmic alignment that humans, once fully awakened, can achieve with all of creation.
Perhaps that is the goal. Perhaps that is the unconscious direction that humans are taking. By maintaining the disconnect between the human race and their organically cosmic origins, the posibility of a truly interconnect, global awakening may never occur.
These are just my ramblings . . . . .
Thank you Dara for looking into this tricky and mostly hidden issue; I had no idea how much things have already progressed in this arena!
I think all this stems from the fact that most people don't think of their life as something that continues beyond death. If they did, then naturally, they would be interested in developing that part that continues after death and is reborn again (consciousness). Then they would be able to see that all that this technology is doing is just improving their "coat" (physical body) which they will discard at death anyway. What's really dangerous here (what an appropriate name for that company by the way – "Dangerous Things"), is that just as you mentioned, all these implants prevent people from acquiring those faculties for real – through genuine spiritual development. What a terrible weapon of darkness!
Great article. There is so much to this topic. If we put aside any suspicion of hackers or even suspicion of mass control, we can see how that outsourcing and/or relying on technology, artificial intelligence, things manufactured…a virtual pill, one one button solution, a payment swipe to release the burden of self involvement hinders those abilities outsourced. A small example is "spell check", another, a calculator. What I see is that with each new thing we make convenient for ourselves, we escape its experience as well as its burden. Both experience and burden are valuable allies for us to gain knowledge and wisdom. without those we have a mass produced outcome of limited understanding, limited knowledge. I see children these days rolling their backpacks on wheels because they are "too heavy". Some really are, and I do get that it can be cruel to make them lug so many books, but that was a muscle being exercised. I have fond memories fighting with my strength limits and my load of books. It build more than just getting your books to class or taking them home.
There are many tools with great intentions in mind, many are valuable in saving time, sweat, blood, tears…are the blood, sweat and tears, that give us strength and help us exercise our divinely given gifts of experience, consciousness and those mentioned in the article such as 'precognition, telepathy, intuition, and out-of-body experiences', 'the ancient practice of awareness of the present moment in daily life', astral projection…dream work?
Maybe there is an appropriate moment or application to sue with a tool, but reliance is a force to be cautioned about. It's this reliance that strays us away from exercising our inter-dimensional muscles.
Is it the technology or is it us? The technology is a projection of a small percentage of us, but what about the rest of us?
I was unaware that such technology existed, I personally would stay right away from it. Who really knows what evil may be behind such technology.
I have found that changing who we are with the spiritual work is the only way forward to connect with the Divine and to really know the steps that you must make.
I have a feeling those hopeful of such technology will get what they are seeking when the "mark of the beast" is revealed. It might be much more than a simple mark to buy and sell. It could be a genetic upgrade, and also linking the receiver to a global brain.
Eternal life is spending eternity with Jesus Christ, enteral death is spending eternity without Jesus Christ. Repent, Get Saved, Get Raptured. Jesus Christ is waiting and watching.
Needless to say, I find the concept horrifying.
What's wrong with developing good ol' telepathy and communicating over distances with that?
What's wrong with developing clairvoyancy or intuition, so that you can communicate with a person in a compassionate and loving way?
Laziness, impatience and disbelief that such things are possible are a major hindrance.
What can you say about Shamans using psychedelics to "alter" their states of consciousness? Arent they relying on an external tool to (via chemicals ie. Psilosybe) to alter their mind states? I'm just curious.
Altering the mind through artificial needs via drugs won't bring out any lasting results. So if you're after the once in a while weird experience, then why not? But using drugs does affect your brain's chemicals and that can bring about many complications in itself (short-term to long-term).
At the end of the day, we are free to make our choices but we can't escape the consequences of those choices.
Personally, I don't see the point and don't do that type of thing.
Yes psychedelics are an external tool which alter your perception temporarily. The problem is that the effects don't last, so you're reliant on something outside yourself in order to gain that experience, along with the physical/ mental side effects that can happen with drug use.
The good thing about using spiritual practice to awaken consciousness is that the effects can be lasting–ie. permanently awakening spiritual faculties like telepathy and intuition, or getting really good at astral projection so you can leave your body at will and explore higher dimensions. Then you don't need any external tool at all.
I totally agree with what you're saying Geraldine and Dara. At present my nephew is in South America with a shaman using drugs to try and access spiritual knowledge. Although he wants to change into a better person, I've found that he's only getting totally confused about spiritual matters. I really hope that he will come home without long term complications.
Prior to his journey to South America I tried to explain that there are no short cuts. Drug free spiritual practices is the only way to change and understand the knowledge that you can receive.
One or two experiences with psychedelics is useful for those who seek spiritual knowledge insofar as they leave the lasting certainty that this is not it, that there is much more to human cognition, to life experience.
Clearly it won't do to depend on the plant medicines or drugs for one's spiritual life, but a lot of people can't get there from here until they KNOW there's a there to get to from here. So I always counsel to stop just as soon as you know you aren't going to forget that this regular walking around consciousness isn't the whole enchilada.
You might mention that to your nephew.
What an interesting development to tackle. Good work! It definitely seems to be more 'hip' these days to think of future humanity merged with technology in some crazy way like The Edge of Tomorrow movie might suggest.
Around 2006 I volunteered for a study at McGill university in Canada which was based around TCDS treatment and it's ability to stimulate and modify serotonin and dopamine levels in the brain. The study was hunting for potential cures for Parkinson's disease and Schizophrenia. The two diseases being very similar in the neurological aspect that it is am imbalance of those two chemicals in the brain which causes both. I had family and friends affected by those diseases and I wanted to participate to see how I could help. Because there quite a lot of preparation, interviews and the treatment itself was painful, the study was eventually cancelled due to lack of participation (I was the only participant).
These new 'break throughs' really need to be watched carefully by vigilant citizens and knowledgeable governments to make sure things don't get out of hand.
Another hypothetical that's been posed with the microchip birth control is the possibility for "revenge pregnancy"–ie turning off or paying a hacker to turn off an ex partner's birth control once they've moved onto a new relationship. The number of things that could go wrong with this technology, especially given the state of the world, seems quite large.
Very interesting that you've come across the TCDS treatment before–I can see how people would be reluctant to participate if it was painful!
It is also possible to prevent someone from ever bearing children and only allow those who the Government wants to bear children.
I do believe that some of it stems from the fear of death: the need to become part machine to prolong life, or fix at all costs all health problems. But death is not something to fear, it is as much as part of life as birth. Everything has a beginning and an end.
I think that if most people realized they could learn what death is about while being alive through Out-of-Body Experiences and using self-knowledge to change our actions / destiny and ultimately change the fate we all face at death, then this pursuit to prolong life or become super-humans via implants would not be there..
And it is two-fold, by not understanding what life's real purpose is truly about then how an we understand what death is really about, as it is just the end of this life..
But we can learn and understand all this, which is what most people don't realize or even know about. For example, we can learn from what people all around the world (believers, atheists, people from different ages) report experiencing from having a Near-Death Experience: the Life's Review which brings about all our actions, how we treat other people, what we say, our lack of actions as well.. It's never about being famous, being rich, but it always comes down to how we treat each other.
And there is no need to have an NDE, we can also learn by having out-of-body experiences and realizing that we exist outside our physical body, which is usually a life-changing experience for most people.
We have tools to delve into what list is really about, and it's up to us to use these tools to learn and not fear life/death.
But what you exposed also brought some difficult concepts that have been used in the past in horrible ways (extermination of mentally ill or disabled people); that of eugenics: a desire to control the population's gene pool by stopping people's ability to freely reproduce. The use of these birth control implants that can be monitored remotely, I find this so worrisome and such a scary idea.. What type of ethics is behind this?
Why do people keep on searching for having less and less responsibilities and going back into just being a kid: being entertained all the time…!?! I don't get this.. Is it just laziness? Is it just running away from a world which is becoming less and less human? How can running away from what we are fix the problem?
Thank you Dara for such a wonderful expose.. This is again something that hopefully can go viral, it concerns us all, while we are still able to decide whether or not we want to have these type of implants be developed..
I can see fear of death playing a part in all this.
To me it's the apparent confusion that needs to be addressed–if people want to place microchips or other tech in their body as an upgrade, well, there is free will and it's a personal decision for people to make. It would be sad for a person to make that decision however, without knowing about the even greater and lasting transformation they could attain through spiritual development.
And yes, I agree that there's a whole host of implications with regards to responsibility, what it means to be human, and the potential for abuse of this tech.

Siblings Eric and Dora Habib made history as they walked across a brightly lit stage at Alumni Hall on August 25 as part of the annual White Coat Ceremony.
And it wasn't the new venue that made it one for the books. A future physician and dentist, Eric, Medicine Class of 2019, and Dora, Dentistry Class of 2019, represent the strong link between the two health care professions.
Their timing couldn't have been better, as Schulich Medicine & Dentistry celebrated its first combined White Coat Ceremony since the tradition was established in 1996.
Eric, 25, and Dora, 27, received their white coats together on stage. Dora even had a chance to play the older sister, fixing Eric's collar with a big grin before posing for photos.
The concept of family was also significant for their 248 new classmates in medicine and dentistry. Not only were the students surrounded by proud loved ones, they were also meeting soon-to-be lifelong colleagues and friends for the first time – an entirely new type of family.
Putting on the white coat is a powerful moment for all involved. It marks a bond with the students' chosen vocation and the beginning of a new professional identity.
The 2015 Ceremony included 38 students from the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry – Windsor Program, 56 Schulich Dentistry students and 20 students from the Internationally Trained Dentists (ITD) program.
Dr. Michael J. Strong, dean, addressed the fresh and eager faces of the School's newest members. But he had a surprise up his sleeve, forgoing the formal podium speech and stepping off stage to be in their midst.
His message was optimistic and thought provoking, as he articulated the significance of a career in modern health care and the meaning of the white coat. "When you put on your white coat, I want you to understand that this is not symbolic. This is your first gig as a physician or dentist," he said.
The connection between medicine and dentistry was also an important theme.

First-year Schulich Medicine students also participated in Community Day on August 26, their first day of medical school. The experience gave them an opportunity to learn from health care providers in rural and regional communities across Southwestern Ontario.
Community partners supporting the event included Woodstock General Hospital and Woodstock and Area Community Health Centre, St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital and Central Community Health Centre in St. Thomas, Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, Chatham Kent Community Health Centre and Thamesview Family Health Team. In Sarnia, community partners include Bluewater Health and Rapids Family Health Team and in Petrolia, Central Lambton Family Health Team and Bluewater Health.

Most Android launchers limit you to three choices: Icons, widgets, and folders. It's better than nothing, but it's still pretty hard to find the best look without overcrowding your home screen. You could fill everything up with icons, but then you'd have an iPhone. You could toss everything into folders, but that would always require an extra tap. You could mix in some widgets, but that would take up valuable space. So what do you do? Action Launcher has the answer.
Two of the best features in developer Chris Lacy's popular home screen app are Covers and Shutters. On the surface, they look and behave exactly like regular icons, so when you tap them, the associated app will open. However, when you swipe up on one of these icons, Covers will expand to show more icons like a folder, and Shutters will reveal a widget.
Ultimately, this gives you the ability to access key information with a quick glance, or to group apps together to save space on your home screen — in other words, all of the benefits of widgets and folders, but without the drawbacks. So if you're tired of widgets taking up space, or if you're done with folders breaking up the look of your home screen, I'll show you how to set up Covers and Shutters below.
Covers and Shutters are a pro feature, so if you haven't already, install Action Launcher to begin. Next, head to Action Launcher's main settings menu by long-pressing any empty space on your home screen, then choosing "Settings." From there, tap "Get Plus" in the top-right corner, then press "Upgrade to Plus" to activate the pro features. From there, confirm your purchase, then return to the app's main settings menu.
Next, select "Folders & Shutters" from Action Launcher's settings menu, then scroll down and make sure the "Enabled" switch is in the Shutters section is toggled on. From there, we also recommend turning on the "Auto-Covers" option, which makes new folders that you create in the future automatically turn into Covers.
From now on, if an icon that you add to your home screen has a widget, it will automatically become a Shutter. But to verify that the Shutters feature is enabled for your existing icons, long-press any app on your home screen and select "Edit" from the popup. A menu will emerge from the bottom of your display, and you'll see either "Shortcut" or "Shutter" next to a drop-down arrow.
If "Shutter" is selected by default, you're good to go. However, if "Shortcut" is enabled, then this application doesn't have a widget. If this is the case, you can manually select "Shutter" instead, then press your back button, at which point you'll be prompted to select a widget to associate with this app.
With the Shutter set up, swipe up on the icon to bring up the widget. If this is your first time enabling the widget, you may be taken to a menu where you can configure the widget. After the initial setup, anytime that you swipe up on the icon, its widget emerges.
Next, let's set up some Covers. Create a new folder on your home screen following the traditional method of dragging an icon on top of another icon, then letting go. As you may have noticed, the icon you dragged disappears behind the other icon — a Cover has been created! Rather than showing a folder, it shows only the original app's icon instead.
From there, you can add more apps to your pseudo-folder by dragging them onto the initial icon just like you would with a regular folder. Then, if you swipe up on the icon, it will bring up the contents of the folder. If you want to use the app shown, just tap the icon and it will open as normal.
If you already have a folder on your home screen and wish to convert it to a Cover, tap the folder to reveal its contents. From there, tap the three vertical dots in the bottom-right corner of the folder, then choose "Make Cover," and now your folder is a Cover. Immediately the view will change, and your collapsed folder will now display just the first app in the folder.
Now that you have both Shutters and Covers enabled, let's customize the experience. To start, return to the "Folders & Shutters" menu as depicted in Step 2, then choose "Folder & Shutter background." In this menu, you can choose the background color and transparency of your Shutters and Covers.
Next, return to the previous screen and select "Open gesture." This will present you with three choices as to how Shutters or Covers are opened. You may choose to swipe up, double tap the icon, or both.
With Shutters and Covers, you can indeed minimize the clutter of a typical home screen without sacrificing functionality. What do you think about Shutters and Covers? Are you using these features on your home screen? Let us know in the comment section below.

Contended Silesia
Kłodzko was formerly called Glatz – and this is not just a learned detail, because this German name gives evidence to the region's history. The town, together with swathes of Silesia, was a dominion of the crowns of Bohemia and Habsburg, fell under the Prussian Kingdom, and only after the last war did it join Poland. The impressing fortress that looms over the town – now the stern antagonist to the pretty buildings, the churches, the ornate steeples and bridges below – was a key point of control over a strategic corridor for whatever dominating power. The fortress can be visited and it is an amazing sight, although, to be true, I felt that its full appreciation would have required a better understanding of military defence architecture. However, I let the mighty stone walls and the vast courtyards talk for themselves while I roamed on a lonesome visit, imagining the garrison once stationed here and the harsh military life that the soldiers led.
After WW2 a forced plan of migrations was put in place to evacuate ethnic Germans from the lands that were to be occupied by Poles. Glatz was also affected by this operation of arranged ethnic cleansing. When a war is over, its aftermaths involve settlements that painfully upset individual lives. The humiliating defeat and the infamy of Nazi crimes on the whole German nation were compounded by the hardships inflicted on ordinary people who were only guilty of having been born in lands given over to the winners.
At the opera house in Breslau I became aware of this unknown aspect of the last conflict thanks to a man from Berlin. We happened to have both come to sit in the wrong tier and as we moved to our right seat we got into conversation. His grandmother, he told me, was forced to leave Silesia to West Germany after the capitulation. He was taking that weekend trip on the spur of his origins, but he could only count on fragmentary information and didn't even know the name of his grandmother's native village.
That Silesia was a land of great changes is also signified by the Churches of Peace. Three centuries before, at the end of the Thirty Year War, the Peace of Westfalia allowed minority-turned Lutherans to build three churches outside the walls of as many towns in by then Catholic land, on condition that they were made only of wood, straw, mud and loam, they didn't have steeples or bells and they were completed within a year. The result of these restrictions were three architectural wonders, capable of holding an amazing number of worshippers, including in the count sitting and standing places of all three tiers. Of the two remaining churches, I visited the one in Świdnica on a Sunday morning, just at the time when a very sparse elderly assembly was gathering for Sunday service. The pastor made an entrance wearing a black frock with two white ribbons from his collar. He led the service stepping alternatively between the altar and a side pew, and nicely acknowledged my presence with a greeting and by announcing the readings in German.
The handful of people convened, singing hymns and praying, looked like an endangered species that has painfully made it into the present era, but is left without any certainties as to its future survival, not unlike the Saxon communities left over in Transylvania after the fall of the Berlin wall. Despite the desolation of its present state, the church emanated a lot of character. The vast interior spaces and its decoration were the proof of its former glory and so were the old tombstones shaded over by tall trees in the overgrown park.

My kids start school at 8am. I am not a morning person. Those two facts mean that I struggle to eat a decent breakfast. And breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I love eggs, toast, bacon, sausage, fruit, waffles, pancakes. All of it. I love all of it.
A few years ago I started making granola once a week. With the realization that I wasn't regularly eating breakfast (although I should!) I started making "to go" breakfasts with the granola. I pop it in a jar, add some dried fruit, and pack a separate jar of coconut milk to pour over the top when I get to the office. It's actually really delicious.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine oil, brown sugar, honey and vanilla until combined.

John Edward Reinhardt, ambassador and diplomat, was born in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1920. After serving in World War II, he received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Knoxville College in 1939, a Masters degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1947, and a Ph.D. in English from the University of Wisconsin in 1950. Reinhardt was the first African American to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation. He was assigned there from 1971 to 1975.
Reinhardt joined the Foreign Service in 1957 as a Foreign Service Officer in the U.S. Information Agency (USIA). During his tenure he served as a Cultural Officer in Japan, the Philippines, and Iran. From 1966 to 1971 he was the USIA Assistant Director for Africa, and the Far East. Other positions included Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs, Assistant Secretary for the Arts and Sciences, and Director of International Activities at the Smithsonian Institution. He also headed the Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs of the State Department.
President Jimmy Carter recognized his distinguished service and named him Director of the U.S. Information Agency (USIA), where he served from 1977 to 1981. In compliance with President Carter's policy objectives of changing misperceptions between the U.S. and other nations over the nature of the agency, its name was changed during Reinhardt's watch to the U.S. International Communication Agency (USICA). As Director of USICA Reinhardt announced to the United Nations General Assembly that the U.S. had funded a $25 million satellite system project to improve communication between the United States and developing countries.


I've included some simple answers to your questions Will try to explain a bit more in another post after I'm done looking through the novel again!
New spoilers were released for the ending today!
Yes happy to share after the drama is over! Some preview I found Can't believe everything will come to an end tomorrow!
I do hope we get to see YC in the final episodes.
I'm glad I had time to watch ep 48 and 49 back to back! Otherwise the disappointment would have bothered me as much as it bothered you haha. And yes I'm hopeful too! And yes your points about him having not much opportunity to let her know makes sense! I just wish the circumstances weren't so depressing for everyone. Can't believe we only have one more day of airing to go!
Watched today's episodes and watched some previews... don't even feel like sharing them anymore cos it's so depressing.
All our guesses were right!


The Automatic Sticker Labeling Machine is one of the most users friendly. The machine is used for full/partial wrap around labeling on different size & shape of container like PET, Plastic, HDPE, LDPE, Glass Bottles. It is widely use in Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics, Food Products Industry.
It is capable of labeling up to 150 containers per minutes depending on products and label size. The automatic model is equipped with roller spacing device resulting in a simple to "No change parts required".
The containers positioned on conveyor are released at equal distance by creating space between two containers with the help of roller spacing device. At the labeling point, an electronics product sensor senses container & releases a label from self adhesive label roll. If machine is equipped with batch printing device, batch printing device prints the batch no. & others matter on label while label is stationary between dispensing of two labels. The sensed container moves on conveyor and picks the released label, then labeled container moves further through a rubber pressing belt & stationary rubber pad which ensures neat & perfect fixing of label on the container diameter.
Machine structure is made from AISI 304 with matt finish.
Suitable for any size & shape of container.
High speed and accurately placement of label on container.
Label drives through high precise stepper motor and can be provides servo drives motor.
Micro Processor base control panel for synchronized conveyor, label drives & printing unit.
Conveyor drives through variable frequency drive.
Very easy to operate & change products.
Min. 3 mm in anti clock wise.


We saw eleven underdogs advance to the second round, including one 16-seed – Bridget's timely St. Patrick's Day image carried the day, and perhaps appropriately so since a meme that began in October is still getting airplay in March.
Three of the 12-seeds advanced to the second round, so kudos to "Where's Waldo" for playing hard-to-get and making it through. That means the dangerous 12-seeds (the preview image was your top vote recipient out of all 64 entries) — parking lot tailgating, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and a weeping Shea Patterson — pose a threat moving forward.
Aside from the notable upset, thirteen of the top 16 seeds (1-4) advance, but I expect there to be fewer blowouts as there are some quality entries remaining.
Miss The First Round Fun?

The Goats is a young-adult novel by Brock Cole. The story details two kids who are the victims of a cruel prank at summer camp, and their subsequent difficulties as they run away from the camp and try to survive on their own without any money or even clothes. The book was made into a movie titled Standing Up.
Howie and Laura are both very believable characters that, in my childhood, I could easily relate to.
I continually felt both interested, worried, and excited through the whole book.
I love that the book doesn't pull any punches on coming-of-age issues like pubic hair, menstruation, and the like.
The occasional forays into the camp councilors and Laura's mom, keep the book exciting.
Near the end, I really felt afraid for Howie and Laura, especially with the encounter with the police officer, and the final running away dilemma.
I really love Laura's name, and how it's kept a secret.
I know that the story takes place from Howie's perspective, but I wish a little more insight was given as to what was going on in Laura's head.

When's The Last Time You Saw A Ferrari F40 In Full Competition Mode?
The Silverstone Classic had a new trick up its sleeve this year in the form of the Masters Endurance Legends class new to the lineup this year. This is something like a greatest hits compilation of nineties and noughties Le Mans motoring, covering everything from the dominant Audi R8 LMP1, down to the flame-spitting Ferrari F40 LM and the GT variants, which were built by Michelotto to soon after the road car's release to the public. Those two cars hint a strange mix to be sure, but I think it's a smart move to include a few cars from the before the turn of the millennium if we are to give the classic title to cars that raced but a decade ago.
Imagine Silverstone's Wellington Straight as the Mulsanne at Le Mans, the Becketts complex as the Porsche Curves, and you can almost trick yourself into believing that you've rewound time to a period when the fastest contenders didn't just post good lap times: they actually sounded the part.
There's no better example than the the Gulf-liveried, V12-powered Aston Martin LMP1 DBR-1, leaving the pit lane and bursting any eardrums that dared to be in unplugged proximity. This was really the final hurrah of the petrol-powered prototype, but for all the anger and noise cars like this one were duly overshadowed by the dominant Audis. Dipping down into the classes that actually resemble something you see on the road (though I'm not sure how often we're all spotting F40s on the street…), we can see the evolution of the cars and the rulebook laid out in tangible examples; cars like the F40 compared to the 550 GTS that followed. Sure they might be in different classes, and while I can't quote you permitted wing angles from the regulatory handbook of fifteen years ago, it is easy to see how the approaches changed from optimizing the existing shapes and adding just a few canards or foils to the downforce packages, to the augmented look of the later GT cars sprouting hug carbon wings and dragging elongated diffusers in their wake.
Unlike the Super Touring cars I featured earlier in the week, I never got to see these cars in their heyday. Unfortunately I was never in Le Mans for the 24-Hour weekend. Instead, lusting after them through the TV screen, in magazines, on calendars and posters, and driving their digital facsimiles in video games. Many hours were logged on my Playstation as I lived out my racing driver dreams in Gran Turismo.
Despite my television-based training, ultimately nothing really prepares you for these cars in person besides the memory of having witnessed it in the past. And even then, we forget the reactions of our bodies and brains to being exposed again.
Though I have the distinct and often taken for granted privilege of spending my time with cars on a regular and frequent basis, there are very few events or machines that still send flutters through my heart like this pack. They can still maintain almost the same pace as a modern machine, but rather than hum along or never putting a wheel over the curbing they do their work with the ferocity of a caged animal set loose on its captor. Some people might argue that cars from beyond the 21st century have no place at an event that literally has "Classic" in the name, but I think rather than define by strict cut-off points based on year or something else rather arbitrary, we should define the group by the admittedly much harder to measure factor of nostalgia; show someone a 919 going round a track and no one will call it anything but brand new even after its retirement. The Audi R8 on the other hand, I think it's safe to say that car defined a generation and entered the canon years ago.
However exotic the prototypes may be, and regardless of how much of a treat it was to see an F40 in full livery leaning through turns, my favorite machine of the group was by far the Ferrari 550 GTS Maranello, piloted by the late, great Colin McRae at Le Mans. The wonderful folks at Top Gear followed him through the race in 2004, and even the rally maestro himself described the car as "extreme." After watching them attack Silverstone fourteen years later, I have to agree.
This is a discussion about an FULL F40 competion…. this art 5ucks I can find out more in wikipedia!
I love those 550 machines, too. I saw them race at Laguna Seca in 2002 and 2003 and they sounded glorious running against the Corvettes. I have several shots of them and the Audi R8 with the hammer down during the race.

Daily Journal/File
Dwight's Edwards named Daily Journal's Softball POY

DWIGHT — Every once in a while, an athlete comes through high school and completely changes the complexion of an athletic program.
Dwight and its softball team were lucky enough to feature one of the top players, not just in the Sangamon Valley Conference nor the area, but one of the best in the state.
Standout athlete Abby Edwards spent the past four years striking fear into opposing pitchers, and she saved her best season for last.
Her efforts helped the Trojans finish 26-7, their best record since 2012, and reach a Class 1A sectional final.
That's just a small reason why Edwards is the Daily Journal's 2018 Player of the Year.
"We had a great season this year. It just unfortunately ended sooner than we wanted it to," Dwight coach Chuck Trainor said. "But without Abby, we don't make it that far. Opposing teams could never figure her out when she was in the circle, and at the plate. If she got a hold of the ball, it was going somewhere far."
Edwards took over full-time pitching duties entering her junior year and quickly established herself as one of the best, finishing with 203 strikeouts on top of a 0.87 ERA.
At the plate, she finished with a .512 batting average, including 11 home runs and 32 RBIs.
Fast forward to this year, and all she did was improve.
She capped this season with a 21-5 record inside the circle while carrying a 1.80 ERA and striking out 213 batters. And just when you thought it was impossible for her to top her junior year batting numbers, that's exactly what she did.
Teams insisted on challenging her, and she made them pay, finishing with a .581 average alongside 11 home runs and 43 RBIs.
"She was walked more than 30 times this year, so her numbers possibly could have been better," Trainor said. "Her work ethic is unlike anything I've seen before. I have a cage at my shop, and she would come in during the off-season four times a week and work for two or three hours on her craft, whether it was pitching or hitting off a tee. You don't find girls like her that have the grit and determination to be where she wants to be."
Great players can be taken for granted from time to time. Watching them play day after day, it sometimes becomes routine to see them produce every single game.
Trainor watched Edwards play 33 times this year, and against quality opponents. And each day, no matter what class level Dwight's opponent may have been in, the senior made her job look easy.
"We played in a three-game tournament in Mount Zion against two 3A teams and a 4A team," Trainor said. "We knew it was going to be some stiff competition and Mount Zion eventually finished fourth in the state in Class 3A at the end of its season. Although we didn't win any of those games, it was amazing to watch Abby keep those teams off-balance and continue giving us a chance to win. She pitched every single game that day and didn't shy away from the challenge."
Edwards muscled through that day just as she did the entire season. Perhaps no player was more valuable to their team than Edwards was to the Trojans.
Now that her time in Dwight has come to an end, a new chapter begins as she will play at the collegiate level for the University of Pittsburgh.
"She left such an impression on a number of our players," Trainor said. "She showed that hard work will get you places. I admire the way she goes about handling her business. She deserves everything she has coming towards her because of the work she puts in."

Q: Android unable to create new directory on external storage Unable to create a new directory in Android external storage for some reason, Im assuming there is something im missing but not able to spot it below is my code which I am using to attempt to create the directory, any help will go a long way thanks
Calendar calendarTime = Calendar.getInstance();

        String newFolder = "/NewFolder/videos";

        File newDirectory = new File(Environment
                .getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + newFolder);

        newDirectory.mkdir();

        File file = new File(newDirectory,
                String.valueOf(calendarTime.getTimeInMillis()) + ".mp4");

        if (camcorderProfile.fileFormat == MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP) {

            recorder.setOutputFile(file.getAbsolutePath());
        } else if (camcorderProfile.fileFormat == MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4) {

            recorder.setOutputFile(file.getAbsolutePath());
        } else {

            recorder.setOutputFile(file.getAbsolutePath());

        }

and in my manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"

A: File.mkdir() will only create the directory if its parent exists. In this case, the directory you want to create is "videos" and its parent is "NewFolder". "videos" will not be created if "NewFolder" does not exist. If you want to create both directories at once, you should use File.mkdirs() instead.

A: I was stuck with issue of folder not getting created for 2 days. Code was perfect, tried multiple code options but none worked. Ultimately I rebooted by device - Nexus 4 and reconnected to my Windows 7 laptop for debugging. I was able to see all files and the directory in Windows 7 explorer. Looks like it was just issue with Nexus 4 (kitkat) not refreshing the folder structure and it was also not visible on Windows 7 explorer and was not working with my app.
Also after restart of Nexus 4 the error from call mediaRecorder.start() "not able to start" also disappeared and all files and directories my app is creating appeared.

A: Do not forget to ask for WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission explicitly.
Here is how to do that: https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting
