Stay On Target
For many fans, both American and British, the only way to experience Classic Who stories a second time was to read the Target novel adaptations. Before the video releases, many fans knew the stories better in book form than in video form, and a lot of the characterizations and descriptions from these books have become iconic in and of themselves. In this panel, fans who love Doctor Who both on TV and in print will talk about how these little books influenced their fandom.

The Most Popular egyptian women
Egypt's women right now are represented by means of two rather contradictory photos. If true, then Merneith can be the primary female pharaoh and queen regnant in recorded historical past. They were roaming within the streets and street unveiled making fun of their deeds. These deeds attracted the eye of the Egyptian lady specifically, and Napoleon's troopers combined with the Egyptian folks through the marriage or having sexual intercourse1.
As an indication of celeb, this imagined Egypt has not only been the object of fantasies but has additionally been caricatured. The most effective-known of those caricatures at this time are these appearing in such media of popular culture as the egypt women Astérix comic books of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo Enjoying on the glamorous image created by cinema, the authors satirize the fascination that Cleopatra workout routines on those round her, focusing particularly on her nostril and exaggerating her queenly standing by depicting her as capricious and temperamental, far-removed from the ideal of the seductive lady so usually imagined.
The Syrian saloons appeared at the period of Ismail pasha who supported the immigration of Syrians to Egypt to treatment the weak point of learners and academics , and they labored in education administration, as end result, the opened- minded Syrian ladies got here to Egypt to spread the mental and literary promotion4, one of the well-known saloons is Mai Ziadah's saloon5.
The traditional Egyptians believed that to make rebirth potential for a deceased lady, she briefly had to flip into a man. Guided by new analysis inspired in part by feminist scholarship, the exhibition A Woman's Afterlife: Gender Transformation in Historic Egypt tells this outstanding story of gender transformation in the historic world, exploring the variations between female and male entry to the afterlife.
Worldwide students and Egyptologists from Egypt, the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Spain, Switzerland, France, Germany and a host of other nations will probably be at AUC Tahrir Sq. egyptian women from October 31 to November 2 for the Ladies in Historic Egypt: Present Analysis and Historical Tendencies conference, the first-of-its-kind in Egypt and the Center East.
And so after we take a look at feminine energy in the world immediately, we should not assume that a lady in a excessive position is there to put the groundwork for other ladies to comply with. Instead we should ask whom these women are actually serving. When you are about to this beautiful egyptian woman point your first ever Egyptian girl, it is completely normal so that you can be slightly apprehensive about the dating process and its outcome. Nevertheless, with these five suggestions, relationship an Egyptian girl will really feel as natural and satisfying as a relationship with a lady from your personal nation.
Qasim Ameen explained his saying that he didn't need absolutely the equalization between men and women, however he wished the entire equalization within the main schooling at the least. He said that the Veil (Hijab) was thought dating an egyptian woman of as a behavior practiced by all nations nearly, however vanquished often according to promotion of society and progress requirements 1.
Step-By-Step Convenient Systems In egyptian girls
The clergy of historical Egypt loved great respect and a cushty living. Historical past from the Early Dynastic Period in Egypt (c. 3150- c. 2613 BCE) by way of the Late Interval of Ancient Egypt (525-332 BCE) abounds in data of the clergy, especially that of Amun, amassing land and wealth. As a way to turn out to be a priest, one needed to first be a scribe, which required years of dedicated examine. As soon as a lady became a scribe she might enter the priesthood, go into educating, or turn into a doctor. Female doctors have been extremely revered in historical Egypt, and the medical college in Alexandria was attended by students from many different international locations. The Greek doctor Agnodice, denied an schooling in medication in Athens because of her intercourse, studied in Egypt c. 4th century BCE after which returned to her home city disguised as a man to follow.
The proof for feminine rulers is as fragmentary as it is for many male counterparts – with few recognized dates of birth or loss of life, and no known portraits for a lot of. Yet, only the ladies's titles are routinely downgraded or dismissed, even when the proof reveals that some, like these profiled on these pages, did rule Egypt as pharaoh.

Victory Memorial Hospital was the first hospital I worked at after graduating CLC. My passion for Nursing and patient care was felt.I had a great mentor and my passion for trauma blossomed. I passed my ACLS and CPR tests and Studied for TNS- Trauma Nurse Specialist and passed this 4 hour test after the first try Then I took and passed MY C.E.N. Took and passed PALS, I loved my supervisors for their knowledge and respect. My co-workers were awesome & when we weren't at work, we got together and had a party.The hardest part of this Job was leaving. I wanted to start working on my Bachelors degree and knew it was too busy at Victory and I left and got another job. The most enjoyable part of this job were the patients,co-workers, and the Doctors.
A typical day was very busy. I learned to multi-task and yet provide safe effective skilled nursing to patients. The co-workers were great at assisting when asked and helped to maintain safety at all times. The hardest part of the job was working with so many different cultures in Brooklyn and different languages. Management was great and I advanced quickly.


Woke up this morning with a mega headache, which made my stomach ache. Took the day off and slept most of the day away.
What i would like is to be able to spend a day or two by myself in my house while I am feeling well. So much to do, but when one is sick, who cares if anything gets done?
Feeling better this evening. Just drained of energy. Hoping tomorrow will be a "well" day.

Development Magazine Fall 2010 /
Avoiding Hard Money Loan Scams
Development Ownership
If someone claiming to be a Nigerian prince asked you to wire him $80,000 to $100,000 in return for an enormous sum of money to be deposited into your bank account, you'd likely laugh it off as a blatant scam. Yet some investors and developers, seeking hard money loans, are falling into the same kind of trap.
To be sure, not all hard money lenders are crooks. But a Google search for hard money lenders and commercial real estate yields 215,000 results and even the sleekest-looking Web sites can't prove who's legitimate and who's not. The fact that conventional loans can be difficult to come by for those who face imminent refinancing or other time pressures has made otherwise-sophisticated owners more vulnerable to fraud.
Here is one cautionary tale:
The development started out with great promise, located along a riverfront in the Southeast. Between the city and county, the development would be granted $4 million in tax credits over a five-year period. The mixed-use development (which had initially been planned as condominiums) had been started in 2007; by 2008, half of the condominiums were sold and then the market "went to pieces," according to Investor X. Between the summer of 2009 and the present, the managing partners found a legitimate lender but the terms were so restrictive that they started looking at hard money lenders and found a number of possibilities through an online search.
"It sounded shady to me; they all wanted money up front," said Investor X, who took it upon himself to have a half-dozen of them investigated. Typically, these fraudulent lenders get borrowers to wire funds to them so that they can perform due diligence on a project. But once the funds are sent, it becomes virtually impossible to reach them. As Investor X pointed out, "these guys do something to justify their cause so that it's difficult to sue and win. You have to use their appraisers, and then they tell you that you don't qualify for a loan. Very few deals actually go through."
Bottom line: the partners in this development did not use any of the "lenders" they found and are still looking for financing. Why would they have considered this route at all? Investor X said, "If you look at '08 and '09, so many people were far enough along [with their developments] and banks were not lending. You might have to file for bankruptcy unless you could finance the project. It makes you desperate. Why not invest $100,000? The lure of the hard money is that it's non-recourse."
Olivia Robinson
Olivia Robinson, principal of Background Intelligence, Inc., a private investigation firm specializing in fraud and white collar crime, who conducted this investigation, recalled that "one of the common themes was that they were all frauds. They wouldn't divulge where their money comes from and they don't give references."
Some findings: the client did get two references from one lender, the first from someone posing as a borrower but who was actually an employee; and the second from someone who had gotten out of jail and was on parole. One company had been charged with securities fraud by the SEC. One was in bankruptcy and claimed no assets. One was a disbarred attorney using three Social Security numbers. One company's Web site showed pictures of properties whose owners, contacted during the investigation, reported that they had never heard of that lender.
Neither Investor X nor the other investors and managing partners reported the investigation's results to any regulatory authorities. "Most of them could say they provided a service for the upfront fee," he said. "We didn't think it was worthwhile."
Robinson observed that "when people get scammed they're embarrassed and don't want to diminish the value of their business."
Do Your Due Diligence
Dan Purdom
Dan Purdom, national practice group leader, white collar crime group, at the law firm Hinshaw & Culbertson, LLP, remarked that the best way to avoid hard money scams is to not give money to strangers. "Do your due diligence," he said. "Fraud knows no limits; it happens in good times and bad times." In short, the old adage "if it's too good to be true, it probably is" applies.
(If a lender purports to be a broker-dealer, you can search for the firm at www.FINRA.org/investors/Tools- Calculators/BrokerCheck. You can also search for fraudulent firms at www.ripoffreport.com.)
Marie Colmey of Hinshaw & Culbertson noted that if you are an officer of a corporation, you have fiduciary duties, which means that if a deal falls apart, you can face exposure. "It doesn't mean you won't get sued if you've done something with good intentions. Everyone's going to sue everyone when the deal goes down."
Marie Colmey
The prospect of being sued isn't your only concern. In one case that Olivia Robinson investigated, the client had already sent three years of tax returns as well as personal and corporate credit information to the "lender." Although he did not wire funds, he was worried that his information would be misused. He contacted existing lenders to alert them to possible identity theft and forwarded Robinson's report to the FBI.
In this case, Robinson literally had one day to conduct an investigation before the client was to wire funds; at the client's attorney's request, she had to verify the authenticity of the "lender." She investigated two corporations: the one that would be receiving funds and the New York brokerage house that had written a letter substantiating that the company had an account balance in excess of $1 billion. The letter proved bogus, the account was a fiction and the person who would have received the funds had spent 32 months in prison for forgery and other misdeeds.
Investigating the lender started with a look at the letter of support. It was from a familiar-sounding financial institution but "it wasn't quite right," she said. There was no listing with the Secretary of State where the company was allegedly based or with any regulatory agencies. Robinson also did a reverse directory search, Googled the company, called the building manager and tenants at the address shown on the letterhead and there was no one there by that name. She also contacted the investor relations departments of institutions with like-sounding names and examined SEC complaints. There weren't any because the bank didn't exist.
The "lender" had filed a bankruptcy proceeding and had felony convictions for forgery and grand theft, as well as a notice of default on his home, with $306,000 in loans outstanding. There were no filings with the Better Business Bureau within the "lender's" local jurisdiction.
It's difficult to assess exactly how prevalent hard money fraud is. For example, Jason Boone, research assistant at the National White Collar Crime Center, could not find reliable numbers regarding hard money loan scams, because once discovered, the scam will be prosecuted under a variety of different crimes (such as wire or mail fraud). However, you can report scams to the Internet Crime Complaint Center, run by the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center. Go to www.IC3.gov or call the FBI at 1-800-CALLFBI, or https://tips.fbi.gov. To find the local field office of the FBI, go to www.fbi.gov. If securities fraud is involved, you can file a complaint with the SEC.
Dan Purdom advised that if you've lost money due to fraud, the best thing to do is to try to get the money back. Do the "lenders" have insurance? Do they have property to go after? He pointed out that "the reality is that mail and wire fraud is incredibly amorphous. You have to prove they schemed to defraud, knowingly." He said that the FBI has the longest track record for investigating these crimes, but are often deferring to states because of pressing Homeland Security issues. He also remarked that "you lose control if you turn it over to an investigative agency."

Over the last five years, SunFunder has completed $25 million of loans to more than 30 solar companies in the beyond the grid sector. Until now all of that debt finance has been issued in US dollars. Early April, SunFunder announced that it now has the capability to offer local currency loans, thanks to a new partnership with hedging facility MFX Solutions.
With 120,000 units sold, almost all within the first six months of its October 2016 global launch, d.light's D30 Pay–Go solar home system is proving to be one of the fastest pay-as-you-go off-grid solar products to reach scale. The company announced that sales continue to grow exponentially, and they are currently registering 800 new households a day. The product is available today in 1,500 outlets, which only represents about 10 percent of d.light's total distribution network, so there is significant room for additional growth and expansion. The quick adoption of the D30 by consumers is a result of d.light's ramp up of its Pay-Go financing options fueled by the $40 million in investment and debt funding the company received in September-December 2016.
Kenya's rural homes are set to benefit with off-grid solar systems as Mobisol plans to open 20 more stores targeting rural markets. Through the new stores, the firm will have a personal touch with its customers.
Mobisol solar home systems provide enough electricity to power bright efficient LED lights, radios, mobile phones, TVs, DC fridges and a variety of further household and consumer appliances. The systems are powerful enough to run small businesses enabling entrepreneurial customers to create incremental income. Customers get a three-year flexible payment plan via mobile money as well as extended warranties, free installation and free maintenance for three years.
In Rwanda, Mobisol and MTN, South Africa-based multinational mobile telecommunications company, have joined hands to offer customers a high performance Tecno smart phone to be purchased on an attractive and affordable instalment payment scheme.
The smart phone model Tecno W2 is offered along with the Mobisol solar home system and affordable payment plan. The high-performance smart phone is equipped with an Android operating system, a convenient dual SIM for usage of a second SIM card, large touch screen display, 8GB built-in storage space, a high-resolution camera with flash, Wifi and bluetooth connectivity and long battery life.
MTN is offering a special data bundle for customers with this offer, including special free data bundles whilst customers are paying off the phone. The promotion is made affordable by a convenient payment plan through MTN Mobile Money for as little as RWF 66 per day. The offer can initially be found in MTN Musanze Service Center and in all Mobisol Shops throughout Rwanda.
Azuri Technologies, a UK-based solar kits firm, has raised Sh17 million through crowd funding to power its expansion in Kenya as it eyes a bigger share of the market. Azuri, which installs pay-as-you-go solar kits in off-grid homes, is targeting 6,000 new customers to grow its reach across the country in addition to Nyanza, Bomet and Eldoret where it has presence.
The firm said its new debt finance will enable its partner Raj Ushanga House to deploy 1,200 Azuri Solar Home Systems, providing clean electricity to about 6,000 people while enabling local businesses to flourish. Each kit, which comes with lamps and slots for phone and radio charging, costs between Sh12,500 and Sh24,500.
Azuri has also recently announced a partnership with Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) to launch its PayGo Solar Home Systems in Nigeria. Azuri's PayGo Solar Home systems can power four LED bulbs providing up to 8 hours of lighting, a radio and a USB port with charging cables for mobile phones.
To own the unit, customers are required to pay the monthly top-up rate via mobile money for 36 months. Also, they're provided an option of upgrading to a larger system, described as "energy escalator pathway." Azuri will deploy 20,000 solar home systems to 20,000 rural households living without electricity. The deployment is expected to create 500 direct jobs, including solar installer and agents for a minimum of 24 months, and 5,000 indirect jobs. The partnership highlights the Government's efforts to support the roll out of off-grid solar systems and its commitment to renewable technologies as a sustainable way to generate electricity for rural communities.
In late March, at the UN's 61st session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW61), Practical Action hosted a parallel session exploring Women as Agents of Change in Sustainable Energy Access Value Chains. The session, which heard from Practical Action's Sudan and East Africa teams, Smiling through Light, Energy Research Institute Sudan and Solar Sister, demonstrated how important investing in women's potential as entrepreneurs, technicians, policy-makers and thought-leaders is to achieving gender-transformative outcomes and more effective energy access approaches for all. For more information on the event and women's diverse roles in energy access markets, see this blog from Practical Action and Smiling Through Light.
The 2017 Ashden Awards have been narrowed down to 22 impressive organizations, covering what they consider to be the best in sustainable energy around the world. The international finalists list includes a number of our Practitioner Network members, including Angaza Design, Empower Generation, Mobisol, PEG Africa, and SunCulture.
Winners will be announced at the Awards Ceremony at the Royal Geographical Society in London on June 15th. They will receive a financial award of up to £20,000, along with tailored support and other help to promote their work. To participate in the ceremony, see here.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is stepping up efforts to bring electrical energy to those who have no access to electricity, via a disruptive technology – low voltage direct current (LVDC). The IEC is hosting the inaugural LVDC Conference on Sustainable Electricity Access, in Nairobi, Kenya, on 22 and 23 May 2017, in partnership with the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS).
Combined with some form of energy storage, LVDC has the potential to bring millions of people out of the dark. The IEC is driving the development of LVDC, making this technology safe and broadly accessible. Holding this conference in Africa will provide a real understanding of electricity access needs to IEC experts and stakeholders.
Standardization work for LVDC is perhaps one of the biggest societal impact initiatives undertaken by the IEC. It requires a concerted effort by all stakeholders. For further reading, please see the article in e-tech of June 2015 and also visit the SEG4 and Syc LVDC.
Energy management and automation specialist Schneider Electric has signed a tripartite agreement with Engie Lab1 and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) to develop a renewable micro-grid demonstrator in Singapore.
The new initiative is part of the existing Renewable Energy Integration Demonstrator in Singapore (REIDS) project located on Semakau Island. Led by NTU with a consortium of partners, the REIDS aims to develop a micro-grid demonstrator to address the energy access challenge in off-grid areas and islands by integrating various renewable sources and storage systems.
The partners will look for scalability and ability to start from both greenfield system and brownfield system through a plug and play approach, a power control module allowing up to 100% intermittent renewable integration, and a multi-fluid optimization module to enhance synergies between different decentralized energy resources.
Under the agreement signed with RECP, ALER is currently translating the Mini-Grid Policy Toolkit into Portuguese and is adding new mini-grid case studies in Portuguese-Speaking African Countries (PALOP) to the document.
Therefore, we hereby request to all those who have information on mini-grid projects in Portuguese-Speaking African Countries, to send us all information about the projects via email geral@aler-renovaveis.org, so that we can include them on the website and on the Mini-Grid Policy Toolkit document and thus contribute to the dissemination of these type of projects in Lusophone countries.
As an example, you can check "Monte Trigo" Case Study from Cape Verde here. The new case studies will have to follow this same structure.

Cloud Migration Trends to Expect in 2023
by Opti9
In 2023, cloud security and migration will be two of the most important issues facing businesses. While many companies have already migrated to the cloud, many are still wondering how to do so safely in the new year. This article will discuss some of the concerns businesses will face in the coming year and three trends we expect to see in the future of cloud migration.
Trend #1: Utilization of Managed Providers on the Rise
Due to the current labor market and shortage of tech talent, cybercriminals are preying on organizations that don't have access to experienced cybersecurity professionals. With many businesses relying on cloud computing for their critical data and operations, it's no surprise that the demand for secure cloud migration solutions is growing exponentially. In 2021 alone, global investments in cloud security technology have grown to over $7 billion, a figure that is expected to surge even higher in 2023 as more organizations seek out advanced protection solutions.
As the labor market and tech talent shortage continue to expand, businesses are finding it especially cost-effective to turn to managed providers for cloud migration. The lack of in-house experience and expertise has left many organizations vulnerable to security threats, but managed providers offer enhanced cloud security solutions that can help protect company data and operations. Through these services, businesses can benefit from robust security features designed to keep sensitive information safe and prevent malicious actors from accessing it.
Cloud migration is quickly becoming an essential tool for businesses needing enhanced security solutions, and 2023 looks to be a particularly important year for cloud migration as organizations look to ramp up their security measures. But why are companies investing in advanced protection solutions now? The short answer – ransomware is on the rise.
Don't Try This on the Fly: Why You Should Have a Cloud Migration Strategy
Cloud migration remains top of mind in 2023. These are the challenges organizations will face and three trends we expect to see in the coming year:Click to Tweet
Trend #2: The Threat of Ransomware Set to Increase
It is expected that there will be a significant increase in cyber attacks by 2023 due to the growing trend of ransomware. Most of these estimates are based on a quick look at the trajectory we're already on currently. Between 2019 and 2020, ransomware attacks rose by 158% in North America alone. Further, the collective cost of the ransomware attacks reported in 2020 amounted to approximately $29.1 million, an increase of 200% from just $8.9 million the year before.
The reason for the sudden influx of cyberattacks in 2020 is certainly tied to the Covid-19 pandemic. As many companies turned to remote work to keep employees safe, cybercriminals extorted the gaps left in cyber security due to the quick move. But the largest reason for the continued increase could be chalked up to the continued payout. More companies are choosing to pay the ransom to get their data back, certainly feeling like they have few options. But cyber criminals are taking note.
Whatever the reason, as ransomware becomes more popular, businesses are increasingly at risk of cyber criminals holding their data hostage until a ransom is paid. Even then, you're operating with criminals, so a safe return isn't always guaranteed.
In May 2021, a ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline left the organization stalling its operations, prompting consumers to flood gas stations amid fears of a gas shortage. The company paid the hackers upwards of $5 million, yet only about half of their data was recovered.
Migrating to the Cloud? Avoid Dangerous Cloud Migration Mistakes with These Tips
Thoughts of ransomware and cloud migration affecting your plans for 2023? If not, they should. Get the latest in this article from @Opti9Tech, here: Click to Tweet
Trend #3: An Increase in Cloud Migration Overall
As a way to better protect their data from ransomware, IT leaders are focused on cloud migration. Cloud migration has been gaining traction since 2019, but it is expected to become even more popular in 2023 as businesses continue to grow wary of the risks posed by ransomware attacks.
Ransomware is increasing the urgency for businesses to consider cloud migration as a way to protect their data. By migrating your data to the cloud, proper configuration and monitoring help provide organizations with enhanced security measures and improved scalability, allowing them to reduce the impact of any cyber attack they may face.

He endures, supports without grumbling his physical and ghostual torments, which are for the holiness of his life and not for acts of injustice. His friends seek an moral explanation for the personal cataclysms suffered by him, but Job defends the state of grace of his life.
The 38th chapter switches Job's suffering dilemma in divine plan, for that God Himself is the One who enters in frame and gives its solution.
Both elements are ecstatic realities, seen into the Ghost.
God is heard in ecstasy of Job and the places from 38, 2-39, 30; 40, 2-41, 34; 42, 7-8 are not literary exposes, with dogmatic-moral character, but revelational detailednesses, are what Job heard from the Lord in divine revelation.
His suffering appears as will/ advice/ oikonomia of God in 38, 2. The Lord speaks to him about His greatness, of His works in the world, as to make on Job to see, of above, his suffering, in report with the logic of God, which allows to those strong ghostually to know and more deeply their person, through suffering, through trial cruel, exhausting.
The Lord asks his interlocutor, as measure what He describes different phenomena and characteristics of creation, but He does not speak openly about his suffering. The fact that Job cannot understand the greatness of divine works must lead him at the conscience that his suffering, even if seems senseless, has and it a sense, as all those created or permitted by God.
But in our opinion, the 42nd chapter is not so much a untying of the mystery of suffering of Job or of the Saints but a categorical underlining of post-ecstatic life of Job. Job before of the sight of God asked to speak with God, to see where is This (Job 23, 3-6).
"The end" from 23, 3, cf. LXX, on which wanted Job means his passing at the Lord as to can see on Him.
Job 42, 6, speaks about the interior consequences of the sight of God in the being of Job, which thinks of now in other parameters of intensity his relation with God. The sight of God is not a reality reserved exclusively for the life after death but it is possible and in our historical condition.
This thing understands very well Job and the problem of his suffering passes on a second plan, for that this suffering has proved enlightening, full of salvific consequences for him.
But the book Job is not without of the attestation of ecstatic experience until the ecstatic chapter par excellence, chap. 38. This chap. 38 does not bring an absolute novelty in the life of Job, for that the visions are recognized by 20, 8 and 33, 15-16 as realities, who are experienced fulgurating of quickly, on unexpected. And God enters suddenly, without warnings in the discussion of the 5, cf. 38, 1.
Thus the jobian soteriology, according as we found, recognizes both the reality of the face of God, as well as on that of divine light. The light of God, in which go the Saints, the saved, is the glory of Pantocrator from 37, 22 or the work/ His majesty hard of endured by people from 31, 23.
The greatness of God about which Job had spoken in his lamentation from 10, 16 is confirmed by the sight of God from the end of the book. Job knew that God reveals Himself, He shows Himself to the people. He wanted to see on God and to escape of the suffering of which he was comprised. He wanted to stand talking with God. God fulfilled this request of his love, but when He speaks no one can answer to Him.
The final of the book, as we know, relates us about his restoring in the glory on which he had before. He was happy now, for that he saw with the eyes of his heart on the Lord and he understood that this, the sight of God, is the single real desire, acute, true of the man.
 Cf. Matthew Henry Commentary, Job, cap. 1, 1, apud BW 0.6, the name Job means "one hated".
 About the accusations of three friends and of Elihu to see: Job 4, 5-6; 5, 17, 27; 8, 2-7, 13-19; 11, 2-20; 15, 2-33; 18, 2-21; 20, 2-29; 22, 2-30; 33, 12-33; 34, 2-37; 35, 2-16; 36, 2-4, 16-33; 37, 14-24, cf. ed. BOR 1988.
 For the defense of Job, to see: Job 6, 14, 21, 24, 25-30; 12, 2-25; 13, 1-19; 16, 2-7, 10-22; 17, 2, 10; 19, 2-29; 21, 2-34; 23, 2-17; 26, 2-4; 27, 2-6, cf. Idem.
 Job himself asked as the Lord appeared to him, to come to give the untying of his suffering. To see: Job 7, 7-21; 13, 20-28; 14, 3, 6, 13, 15-22; 16, 7-9; 17, 3-4, cf. Idem.
 Ed. BOR 2001 opts at 38, 1 for: "And the Lord said to Job through storm and cloud". Metrop. Bartolomeu remarks in Idem, n. a, p. 606, that: "The storm and the cloud are elements through which God reveals Himself".
 Saint Augustine, in his commentary at Job, interprets 38, 1 in ecstatic key, saying: "…the Lord said unto Job from storm of cloud [per turbinem nubis]. For the same voice was done and in the case of Moses, as was done when the Lord revealed Himself to the three Apprentices in mountain [Mt. 17, 1-5]", cf. S. Aurelii Augustini, Annotationum in Job, Liber Unus, in PL 34, col. 871.
Comparing the augustinian scriptural text with the VUL text, we observe that Augustine speaks about "per turbinem nubis" [from/ through storm of cloud], while VUL speaks about "de turbine" [from storm]. The essential consists in the fact that Saint Augustine reports at his recept text and he sees very clear that here we are dealing with an ecstatic sight and not with a speech from cloud or from swirl of God, as something spectacular.


The singer and her boyfriend, FC Barcelona soccer player Gerard Pique headed to the movie theater to watch 'Skyfall' Wednesday, November 14.
Shakira announced her pregnancy in September on her website. "As some of you may know, Gerard and I are very happy awaiting the arrival of our first baby! At the time we have decided to give priority to this unique moment in our lives and postpone all the promotional activities over the next few days", she wrote at the time.
Last week, Gerard said they couldn't find a name for their future baby. "Concerning the name, we just haven't been able to decide. There are ridiculous names, like Ulisito, that came out of the press' need to report nonsense. There was also Biel, which we like, but I don't think it will be that one either, or Gerard. We'll see", he told Catalan radio station RAC1.
As for their night date in Barcelona. Shakira seemed very happy. Gerard was also smiling. Cute couple indeed! It's somehow weird how Shakira dated Antonio de la Rua for a decade without having kids or getting married. Then she began dating much younger Gerard and in less than two years, she pregnant.
Shakira began dating 25-year-old Gerard in early 2011.

AFC East rivals fighting for the division basement will meet in Miami on Sunday afternoon when the Dolphins host the Buffalo Bills at 1:00 p.m. ET. Is there any way these rivals combine for enough points to push the score over the total?
According to oddsmakers from online sports book BetNow.eu, the Dolphins are 3.5-point favorites to beat the Bills. The total, meanwhile, sits at 40 points. As of this writing, 51% of the public betting tickets are on the Bills to cover the point spread.
Josh Allen completed 8-of-19 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown and rushed 12 times for 100 yards and an additional score in the Bills' Week 12 win over the Jaguars. Allen was far from perfect as a passer, but he hit Robert Foster for a 75-yard touchdown bomb and was dynamic on the ground, nearly scoring another touchdown late in the game during clock-killing mode. Allen's week-to-week consistency has been all over the place in his rookie campaign, but he has certainly "flashed" when well protected and put in comfortable situations. Allen will be a two-quarterback-league starter in Week 13 at Miami.
Ryan Tannehill completed 17-of-25 passes for 204 yards and two touchdowns in the Dolphins' 27-24, Week 12 loss to the Colts. Making his first start since Week 5, Tannehill added three rushes for 14 additional yards. The good news is that Tannehill's 33-yard first quarter strike to Kenyan Drake was the Dolphins' first offensive touchdown in 27 possessions. The bad news is, coach Adam Gase treated Tannehill like he was Sam Darnold in crunch time, calling unimaginative, horizontal plays as the Dolphins watched a 24-14 lead disappear. Tannehill's second score was a 74-yard jump ball against CB Pierre Desir where Leonte Carroo did most of the work. Although better than Brock Osweiler, Tannehill is one of the league's most limited regular starters. He will struggle for QB2 value in Week 13 against the Bills.
The under is 4-1 in the Bills' last five road games versus a team with a losing home record.
The under is 4-1 in the Dolphins' last five games versus AFC opponents.
The Bills haven't been as inept offensively over their past two games as they have been for most of the season. They scored 24 points a week ago on Jacksonville's defense and 41 against the Jets on the road in their previous game. The over is 5-1 in the last six meeting between these two teams, is 11-5 in the Bills' last 16 games after accumulating more than 150 yards rushing in their previous game and is 4-1 in the Dolphins' last five home games. With the total sitting as low as it is, the over is worth a play.

Quartz at all times
12/04/2021 in Klokers
watchmakingquartzmovementquartz watchaccurate
The electronic movement that appeared at the end of the 1960s remains the most popular on a worldwide scale.
Every trend functions reflects the principles of watchmaking, with a pendulum effect that suddenly propels something new to the fore, only to demolish it later. Thereafter, it will experience an endless coming and going based on the whims of any given era, returning and fading without ever really disappearing. One of the best examples of these highs and lows can be found, once again, in the world of watchmaking with the quartz movement which appeared fifty years ago. On many occasions, each time for a different reason, it was considered to be old-fashioned, a thing of the past. For a time, the smartwatch and other connected watches were seen as the next great technology. Just as quartz, in its early years, had knocked mechanical movements off their age-old pedestal. And then, contrary to expectation, they to delight enthusiasts, outstripped by the famous quartz movement which is still far ahead in terms of purchasing preferences worldwide.
It must be said that the appearance of the quartz movement at the end of the 1960s had the effect of a bombshell in the small world of watches that until then had been called "timepieces". Previously, a few manufacturers had made good use of the piezoelectric power of quartz crystal for extremely accurate clocks and other marine chronometers. But none of them had worked out how to reduce this mechanism so that it would fit inside the casing of a watch. Several Swiss manufactures had even financed the creation of a electronic watchmaking centre to collaborate on new technologies. They also competed with each other in innovation competitions, in which a small Japanese manufacturer called Seiko participated.
At this time, anything from the Land of the Rising Sun was regarded with suspicion from the outset. And was considered (eyes closed) to be a vague imitation. However, this new Seiko watch, which went by the name of Astro in the autumn of 1969, boasted several innovative features. In addition to its accuracy to less than one second per day, it had a running time of over a year thanks to its tiny battery. This was an unimaginable achievement compared with traditional mechanical watches that you had to remember to wind up. What is more, its price became highly accessible as soon as its inventor and several other Japanese companies (Casio, Citizen...) started to produce it on a large scale.
The European world of traditional watchmaking didn't know what had hit it. Or, more precisely, quartz technology was so different to their dials, gears and cogs that the battle was fought with weapons that had no comparison. For several years, or even decades, these new quartz watches that work almost by magic cut the Swiss watch industry to shreds. It was not until the early 1980s, and more precisely in 1983, that the Swiss Nicolas Hayek turned the tables with the launch of the Swatch brand based on plastic cases... Once again, his traditional colleagues could not believe their eyes as his brilliant idea defied watchmaking conventions. Just like the more recent launch of the Klokers brand, which displays the time with dials instead of hands and, moreover, is powered by the world's favourite quartz technology.

Can Brexit Be Saved With Only 8-Days Left?
Theresa May: How Hard Can it Be to Follow Voter Instructions?
According to research recently published in the scientific journal Nature, "The consequences of excess diesel NOx emissions for public health are striking," and responsible for 38,000 annual, premature deaths (globally) due to heart and lung disease and strokes.
But wait! It gets worse. By 2040 that number might increase to 174,000 — and that's if every diesel vehicle conforms to 2017 emissions standards.
Most of the deaths occur in Europe, where diesel cars are popular and extant as the primary source of particulate matter (soot) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx).
In China and India, the proportion of diesel cars and trucks differs and emission standards are lower, consequently, diesel trucks are the largest contributors to particulate and NOx emissions.
Due to strict emission standards that were enacted since 1999, diesel engines built in 2017 (and the various grades of diesel fuel) are orders of magnitude cleaner than in the pre-2017 timeframe.
Yet, in the absence of incredibly strict diesel vehicle emissions standards for the future, it's estimated that up to 10-times more people could die prematurely from diesel-fueled vehicle exhaust, due to a number of related factors. The huge baby boom demographic in Western nations show an increasing trend to higher rates of respiratory illness as they age, for one example.
There are really only three choices on this file — four choices, if you include 'Doing Nothing' which really isn't an option for a responsible government.
Ban all diesel fuel sales by 2020. Yes, this could cause a paradigm shift in vehicle engine choices — and result in mass sales of used diesel cars and trucks before diesel fuel is banned.
Ban the use of diesel fuel for motive power within all cities. But not the carrying diesel fuel because some vehicles are diesel/electric and can be switched manually between diesel and electric mode.
Ban the use of diesel fuel for motive power within cities with more than 1 million residents. Pollution levels are noticeably higher in major centres, smaller cities may notice a daytime spike, followed by a relatively rapid evening clearing of the noxious emissions.
Do nothing. At this point, even considering such a plan is beyond irresponsible, now that the facts are coming out and each new factoid turns out to be worse than the one that preceded it.
Certainly it will take some effort by governments. But in this case, there simply isn't any alternative. Something must be done to save thousands of lives annually.
Past 2020, even more people will be dying prematurely from air pollution if new regulations aren't quickly legislated.
The payoff is that national healthcare systems will begin saving billions — even in the first year — and every subsequent year will improve those stats. And citizens can expect to live healthier, happier, and more productive lives.


The place is a little small and the beers are good. The brewery tour is very good. This place is located in the artsy area with other brewery's nearby.
The place might be a little small, but the beers they carry are really good. A few weeks ago they hosted a mini anime and video games convention, and they had a few brews with names like Princess Peach and Superman (?). Definitely returning for their tours.

Dangerous sleep products have claimed the lives of more than 100 infants
Protect babies and ban unsafe sleepers
Meg Bohne
Next week, a vote will quietly take place on the outskirts of Washington, D.C. that pits babies' lives against manufacturers' profits.
Consumer Product Safety Commissioners will vote June 2 on whether to finally remove from the market infant sleep products that have been linked to at least 100 infant deaths.
This vote truly is a life-and-death matter. Since April 2019 when Consumer Reports uncovered that dozens of infant deaths were linked to inclined sleepers, the CPSC has analyzed these products, urged manufacturers to take action, developed proposed rules, and taken public comments. Now it's time for the agency to take action.
Unfortunately, the four-member Commission may be split on this vote, and a tie would mean the safety rule would not go into effect (a fifth Commissioner has yet to be nominated and confirmed). We know manufacturers are pushing hard to block this common-sense safety rule.
Meanwhile these senseless tragedies have gone on far too long, as infants have continued to die in inclined sleepers and other unregulated sleep products.
Parents who tragically lost children in these products have been lobbying the Commission and demanding action. They've been joined by thousands of consumers who have sent messages of support, calling for a new rule to keep unsafe infant sleep products off the market and ensure all infant sleep products meet minimum safety standards before being sold.
We need more parents to speak out! Please join us by signing this petition and help amp up the pressure before this critical vote. We'll deliver your signature next week, along with thousands of others who want definitive action to get these unsafe sleep products off the market for good.

Yang Liu, PhD is an Associate Professor of Medicine and Bioengineering. Dr. Liu integrates multi-disciplinary approaches spanning engineering, optics, physics, chemistry and biology and develops imaging technologies to address important clinical dilemma of how to better predict the individual's cancer progression risk in a large number of at-risk population, and how to improve the diagnostic accuracy of malignancy. Early cancer detection currently relies on screening the entire at-risk population, as with colonoscopy and mammography. Frequent, invasive surveillance of patients at risk for developing cancer carries financial, physical, and emotional burdens because clinicians lack tools to accurately predict which patients will actually progress into malignancy. Current clinical gold standard for diagnosing cancer and predicting cancer progression risk relies on the evaluation of nuclear morphology by a trained pathologist using bright-field microscope, which limits the assessment of nuclear architecture to microscale with very limited performance on a personalized level, especially in patients without the presence of clinically significant lesions such as patients with ulcerative colitis or atypical hyperplasia in breast.

First, we are participating in a multi-centered, prospective cohort study of individuals at risk for MS. Investigating the risk factors of MS and mapping the sequence of events leading to the onset of disease will pave the way to ultimately test primary prevention strategies in high-risk individuals. Second, we are conducting a longitudinal prospective cohort study to investigate the biological and clinical predictors of disease course and treatment response in MS. Gaining insights into the factors that influence the variable patient response to treatment and the diverse trajectories of disease progression in MS will be the key to provide individually tailored therapy. Third, we are developing computational approaches to ascertain treatment response and testing algorithms that predict treatment response using electronic health records data. Tools that leverage real-life clinical data for outcome prediction in chronic neurological disorders have the potential for widespread dissemination at the point of care.

Enoch Smith, Jr. appears in the recorded jazz landscape fully blossomed, ripened and in full swing. His thrilling "Church Boy" bears a brazen and welcomed Christian musical engraving that offers proof of expected influences from classical, soul, gospel music and the Protestant Christian hymnody. However, there's no denying the Latin and Caribbean tinges, such as on the reggae-like "Untitled (No Words)." In a repertoire that pretty much divides itself neatly in half between lively and mid-tempo material, just about a third of the production reflects such tinges.
