How much will it cost for me or my child to participate?
Our program is absolutely free of charge. The only requirement is that participants be willing to to contribute, have an open heart and want to attend.
If you are interested in scheduling a session at the ranch for yourself or your child, you can contact us through the website with your email or phone number. Someone from the ranch will be in touch to schedule an initial appointment.
Can I drop my child off at the ranch?
Part of Refuge's focus is to bring families together. Because of this principle we ask that parents accompany their child. A parent's presence is often central to a child's healing process. The impact of a parent cheering their child to victory has become very apparent to us. Allowing fathers, mothers and guardians a chance to rest in the shade and enjoy the beauty God has provided is also a part of what we do.
What kinds of people does Refuge Ranch serve?
Refuge Ranch primarily serves children between the ages of 5 and 18. Being a kid in this day and age is tough enough. Many of our kids are considered "at- risk". This can take on many shapes and forms: mental, physical, emotional, and functional.
Refuge also offers opportunities that seek to serve women and families. For more information on how our programs might benefit you, feel free to contact us!
Can we visit the ranch?
We would love to have you out to Refuge even if it is just for a visit. We are open to the public by appointment only. Please feel free to contact us here to schedule a tour, if you are ever going to be in our neck of the woods.
Does the ranch ever close?
Please contact the Ranch for our open days/hours.
Is Refuge Ranch a residential facility?
At this time Refuge is a day-use facility only. This means those who use the ranch visit it during the day but are not housed here.
Can visiting families or groups be hosted overnight on the Refuge grounds?
We are unable to host overnight guests, families, volunteer groups or participants due to the limited size of our facility. Our insurance also does not cover this type of ranch activity. It is our desire to one day host ranch visitors, but at this time we are limited. However if you have a group of volunteers interested in a short term mission trip or service project, please contact us for housing options. We are located adjacent to a state park which offers both camp sites and rustic cabins. In addition there are many hotels, bed and breakfasts and other housing options available close by.
Is Refuge Ranch a religious organization?
Refuge Ranch is a faith based organization. While no participant is ever required to participate in religious activities, our founders, Board of Directors, and staff all believe in God and the saving grace of His Son Jesus Christ. It is our greatest desire to serve God by the demonstration of our faith through action and our highest honor to serve children and families of all backgrounds.


Your life is a journey.
This statement is not only true, but it means you need to actively start navigating your life to get the most out of it.
And for that, you require a compass.
Looking for direction in our lives, we want a GPS that tells us where to go, how to get there, and stays with us at every turn. How much thinking on your part, does a GPS require?
As soon as you don't have a GPS, you might become lost. You've relied on someone else navigating you.
Even worse, you come upon the Sahara Desert.
It is a constantly shifting terrain with no visible horizon changes to provide a sense of direction or tell you where you are relative to the rest of the desert.
In the desert, a GPS is useless to you.
The terrain is uncharted and so you must navigate by following your compass.
You don't know how long your journey will take; you only know that by following your compass you are heading in the correct general direction.
It is the same in life.
For example, if you are a parent, when does that job end? What guide or manual points you in the right direction?
The reality is that you don't know.
You rely on your intuition and internal compass.
Your challenge in life is to keep moving in the "right" direction while the conditions around you are constantly changing and in an environment where there is ever increasing uncertainty. The GPS you've been conditioned to follow has dropped you off in the middle of nowhere…or somewhere.
You have to now learn for yourself, what direction is best for you.
When you learn to listen and follow your compass, you begin fulfilling your destiny. By following your compass without worrying about a specific goal, you allow your compass to shape your goals.
So how do you find your own internal compass? Well firstly, you have always had one. It's that internal voice that pops up in your head from time to time to guide you.
Most of us have simply been conditioned to tune that voice out, according what others, and society need or expect from us.
Take a few minutes today to begin to write down thoughts about what your real compass is.
Think about what makes you happy and what you really value at your core. Values supply fulfillment and meaning in our life.
Our values form our internal map of reality.
Your inner compass will come from what YOU value; Pick between 5-10 values from the list below, and fill out your internal map.
Is this what you are focusing on in your life or have you lost your way?
After choosing a few of these values, you'll get a good read on what your compass is likely to be. It can change over time too. Make a point of revisiting periodically.
In addition, Steve Donahue, author and speaker, suggests writing a compass statement.
Internal compass statements include: "Be different"; "Have fun first"; "Keep it real"; "Follow my heart"; "Be present".
When navigating the desert, don't forget to stop at the occasional oasis. It's a place where you get to rejuvenate yourself, refuel, re-energize and reconnect.

False Mirrors () is the second novel in the Labyrinth trilogy of cyberpunk novels written by Russian science fiction writer Sergey Lukyanenko. The novel takes place two years after Labyrinth of Reflections and describes the life of a former diver (person able to exit VR at will and "see" holes in programs) after the diver profession becomes obsolete. Deeptown, the virtual city created by Microsoft and IBM moves on and grows to accommodate an ever-changing world. The semi-peaceful life of the inhabitants of Deeptown is shaken when a hacker is killed by a virtual weapon.

Plot summary
Former diver Leonid is a virtual mover. His relationship with his wife Vicka is strained. Due to deep psychosis, he has trouble distinguishing reality from the deep. Unlike Leonid, Vicka (a former diver) managed to let go of Deeptown and rarely ventures there. Additionally, an upgraded deep-program includes a built-in mandatory 24-hour timer. Leonid finds out that a hacker broke into a small development company and was attacked by its security forces. One of the virus weapons used on him killed the hacker in real life. Leonid contacts his old hacker friend Maniac, who now lives and works in the US, and asks him if he knows the dead hacker. Maniac gives him a real-life Moscow address of a former acquaintance. Leonid goes there and finds himself in a luxurious apartment of a rich businessman named Chingiz. Another inhabitant of the giant two-story apartment is a hacker named Bastard and amateur hacker teenager Pat — Chingiz's protégé. Bastard explains that he was hired to hack the development company by a man calling himself the Dark Diver, who managed to retain his diver abilities. Bastard asked a 17-year-old hacker to help him break into the company and steal certain files. Apparently, the weapon use a modified deep-program to cause cardiac arrest, which can only be reversed by immediate CPR. When Bastard reveals that the hacker's name was Roma, Leonid realizes that the dead hacker was a former diver. Leonid asks Chingiz for a virus pack, as he goes to search for the files Roma stole.

In Deeptown, he encounters a colleague of his from the delivery company, who informs him that he has a letter from Roma to be delivered to the mythical Temple of Diver-in-the-Deep. The letter can only be opened at destination, but Leonid doubts the place exists. He contacts several former divers and asks them for the location. The only one who responds is Dick (AKA Crazy Tosser), security chief of the popular Deeptown game "Labyrinth of Death". He informs Leonid that out of all divers, only three (Dick included) agreed to create the Temple as a monument to the lost diver community. Each hid their entrance at a familiar place. By now, only Dick's entrance exists, but it can only be accessed from the last level of the new "Labyrinth". At the same time, Dick offers Leonid a job at the company. Two years ago, Gunslinger (one of Leonid's avatars) shocked the "Labyrinth" as a master player. Dick believes that Leonid can still show the players a thing or two to promote the game as the legendary figure. Leonid responds that he will think about it, as he has other things on his mind. He tries out the new "Labyrinth" only to find out that the new game is impossible to beat without a good team. He returns to Chingiz's apartment (in Deeptown), which looks exactly like his real one, and discusses the situation with the three hackers. They agree to help him beat the game and find out why Roma died. At that moment, a shadowy figure enters the apartment and introduces himself as the Dark Diver. He attempts to convince them not to attempt the trip, but Pat shoots him, and the conversation erupts into a firefight. Pat is gunned down by a second-generation virus, as is Leonid, but not before he hits the Dark Diver with one too. When his computer refuses to turn on, Leonid calls Bastard and asks him to come over and look at the machine. Vicka comes home, and Leonid explains everything to her and what he plans to do. Bastard arrives and fixes Leonid's computer. He also asks Vicka if she will allow her husband to go back into the "Labyrinth", then she explains the nature of their strained relationship — Leonid never went to the train station to meet her for the first time.

Leonid tells Bastard that, in his mind, he met her there. Apparently, that was the time he developed deep psychosis, although Vicka still insists that they still kissed while flying above Deeptown and that his advanced diver powers disappeared shortly after Jinx left. Leonid returns to Chingiz's virtual apartment to find Maniac, Dick, and Mage (reclusive hacker who used to work for Vicka) already there. They go to the "Labyrinth" lobby and find themselves in the new version of the game. The original "Labyrinth" was an evolved version of Doom, which had players fighting a resistance battle against an alien invasion. The new "Labyrinth" is a sequel — after defeating the invaders, the humans send a retaliation force to the alien homeworld. The tougher (and smarter) enemies make the "lone wolf" tactics impossible. Leonid's team makes it through several levels before encountering a woman named Nike, who joins the team and turns out to be pretty good. At one point, Leonid even confesses that he is attracted to her. Realizing that it would take too long to reach the last level, Leonid confronts Maniac and asks him if he brought the Warlock virus with him. The reluctant Maniac reveals that he managed to smuggle parts of his new-and-improved "Warlock 9300" virus. He assembles the virus, and it turns into an elevator.

Crazy Tosser is reluctant to enter the elevator, as he believes they will be traced and kicked out but does so anyway. The elevator takes them to a high-rise on the last level of the "Labyrinth", where they manage to surprise several monsters. Tosser finally reveals that, earlier that day, he sent an email to his superiors informing them of a security drill — an attempt to smuggle a virus into the game. He even offers Maniac a $500 reward for "assisting" in testing the company's security. Since there is no obvious way to get down from the roof of the building, they make a hole in it and decide to climb down the girders on the inside of the building. Tosser offers to climb down first to make sure it's safe. Leonid takes one of his team-mates on his shoulders and proceeds next (using his diver ability to exit the deep while he is climbing down). Eventually, everybody got down, although Chingiz almost fell along with the person he was carrying. Nike (with Pat on her shoulders) managed to get down without a problem, which made Leonid suspicious. After several more challenges, they managed to reach the Emperor's castle. According to Tosser, the Temple entrance is located behind the Emperor's throne. The creature itself is a giant human with energy beams coming out of his eyes. Apparently, the Emperor is a prototype program that learns on its enemies' mistakes.

The Emperor proves a tough enemy, and the rest of the team stay behind to hold him off to allow Leonid, Pat, and Nike to reach the throne room. As Leonid blasts the throne to reveal the entrance, the Emperor enters and grabs Pat. Leonid is shocked, when the Emperor looks at him and asks "Who am I?", before being blasted by Nike's rocket launcher, along with Pat. Leonid then confronts her and accuses her of being a diver. They both aim weapons at each other, but only Leonid fires. He then enters the door and finds himself facing a nightmare he kept seeing in his sleep for months — a chasm with two walls (fire and ice) and a string crossing it. Every time he tried to cross the chasm before, he would always fall and wake up. This time, he simply jumps down and floats towards an entrance he sees hovering in nothingness. The Temple then appears on the edge of Deeptown, showing that Leonid passed the test. As the Temple now has a Deeptown address, Leonid contacts his former colleague and tells him where to go to find the building. While he's waiting for the letter, a vehicle stops outside the Temple, and Man with no Face (AKA Dmitry Dibenko) gets out. He enters the Temple with Leonid's help (apparently, only divers may enter without assistance), and explains that Roma's death was an accident — the person who shot him was unaware of the weapon's lethality. He also says that he has been hiding from the Dark Diver for a long time.

Apparently, the Dark Diver wants him dead. Man with no Face does not reveal what is in the stolen files. Instead, he gives the prototype weapon to Leonid, saying that most of the bullets are stun rounds and the last one is deadly. He leaves, after which Leonid's team-mates arrive, followed by the deliveryman. Leonid takes the letter, opens it, and reads it. The files describe an attempt by Man with no Face to create "shadow consciousness" — a sort-of echo of a person who logs off from Deeptown. Apparently, there was some success in allowing an avatar to exist and interact with Deeptown for a period of time after the user leaves. The ramifications of this discovery are staggering — should Dibenko succeed, Deeptown will soon be populated with "ghosts" of real-life people. There will be no knowing who is real and who is not. Also, those "ghosts" will eventually achieve a form of AI, as evident by the Emperor in the "Labyrinth of Death" (his question "Who am I?" is the proof of his self-awareness). After locking the file on Chingiz's computer with four passwords (Leonid's, Chingiz's, Bastard's, and Pat's), they all leave the Temple and agree to meet up later in Chingiz's Deeptown apartment. Leonid logs off to find Vicka near her computer. He realizes that she was Nike and was helping them reach the last level.

He also sees that Vicka was not even trying to hide her identity from him (Victoria is a Roman name for the Greek goddess Nike). Despite Leonid's expectations, Vicka is not the Dark Diver. Now Leonid is in trouble — he told Nike he liked her before knowing that she was his wife. Vicka, however, does not mind, perhaps because Nike was a personification of her. At the agreed time, Leonid returns to Deeptown and goes to Chingiz's apartment. He also receives a message from Crazy Tosser, who is in the hospital from a heart attack (he is not a young man). Dick says he will be fine but is unable to help Leonid in the near future. Leonid goes to the apartment to find only Chingiz and Bastard waiting for him (Pat is doing homework in the real world). While they are deciding on what to do with the files (Chingiz suggests physically destroying the hard-drive, just to be sure), the Dark Diver reappears and paralyzes the three with stun rounds. He then forces them to call Pat and tell him to unlock the files and send them to the virtual apartment.

Pat, while sending the file, suspects something is wrong and enters the apartment armed. The Dark Diver, however, is quicker and shoots Pat. Too late does he realize that the bullet is lethal. He disappears with the file, as Pat's heart stops beating. Chingiz's virtual computer is too far away, so Leonid takes drastic measures. Somehow, he forces Chingiz to see the deep for what it really is (i.e. become a diver) and log off. Bastard rushes to his own virtual computer to log off, and Leonid leave the apartment and goes to his favorite bar/restaurant in Deeptown. There, he calls the Dark Diver, and the figure appears by him. Leonid finally knows the Dark Diver's true nature — he is an echo of Leonid and the power he once held. Apparently, after Jinx left, Leonid decided that he did not wish to be a diver anymore. So, subconsciously, he altered the deep-program to have a built-in timer and removed diver ability to see programming holes. The part of him that had the power to manipulate any program and access Deeptown without a computer split off and formed its own personality, while still remaining a distant part of him. That is why the Dark Diver did not know about the lethal round in his gun — it was Leonid's gun.

Deep Diver's life is a curse — he is unable to perceive Deeptown the way human do. All he sees are rough shapes and colors. He is also alone and was trying to steal Dibenko's files to create more like him. Leonid decides that it is time for him to embrace his destiny and the two merge. This restores all of Leonid's abilities, as well as abilities of other Divers. He contacts Chingiz and finds out that he managed to perform CPR in time to save Pat. Leonid then returns to the "Labyrinth" and frees the Emperor from his captivity in the game.

Characters

Major characters
 Leonid/Gunslinger ()  – former diver, who, at the end of the first novel, gained advanced abilities allowing him to enter Deeptown without the aid of technology and manipulate any program at will. Those abilities disappeared along with the divers' ability to "see" programming holes and back doors. Now he works as a furniture mover for a Deeptown delivery company. Leonid is suffering from deep psychosis, a condition he is trying to hide from his wife Vicka.
 Vicka (short for Victoria, ) – former diver. After losing most of her diver abilities, she gave up the deep and focused on real life. Shortly after the end of the first novel, she married Leonid and moved to Moscow with him, abandoning her psychological studies in Deeptown. Apparently, she is aware of Leonid's deep psychosis, but is unwilling to confront him about it.
 Chingiz () – hacker-turned-businessman. Former acquaintance of Maniac. Agrees to help Leonid discover the truth behind the stolen files.
 Bastard/Anton Stekov ( – Padla) – hacker, lives in Chingiz's apartment. Known to use jargon and swear profusely, which tends to annoy the more cultured Chingiz, especially in the company of Pat, of whom Chingiz is protective. Took on a hacking job for a mysterious figure and got a friend of his killed.

Minor characters
 Pat/Sasha () – teenage hacker, lives in Chingiz's apartment. Sees Chingiz as a father-figure. Constantly seeks to prove himself in the computer world.
 Roma/Grey Wolf () – former diver, teenager. After the diver community fell apart, he became an amateur hacker. Was shot and killed by a third-generation weapon while hacking a small company. Owner of one of the three keys to the Temple of Diver-in-the-Deep (his key was destroyed when Bastard reformatted his hardrive).
 Alexander/Maniac () – hacker. Divorced his third wife and moved to the US shortly after the end of the first novel. Good friend of Leonid's. Creator of the famous "Warlock 9000" virus. Later has created "Warlock 9300" – upgraded version of "Warlock 9000".
 Mage/Computer Mage/Zuko () – computer expert. Formerly worked on creating security measures in Vicka's virtual brothel.
 Crazy Tosser/Dick/Richard Parker – former diver. Still works for "Labyrinth of Death" security, though he moved up in ranks. Owner of one of the three keys to Temple of Diver-in-the-Deep (His key was hidden in the final level of the newest version of Labyrinth of Death). His Deep exit trigger is the image of his neighbor girl's face.
 Dmitry Dibenko () – creator of the deep-program. Uses a prototype 886 processor, give him extremely high processing power and speed. For his accomplishments, he was given a special medal that gives him access to every Deeptown system, no matter how secure. His usual avatar has its face covered in mist.
 Dark Diver – mysterious figure, apparently able to use diver abilities unavailable to the rest. He hired Bastard to do the hacking job that got Roma killed.

Publication history
Lukyanenko initially had no plans to continue the story from Labyrinth of Reflections, but was asked to do so by readers of the first book. Lukyanenko didn't have a contract for second book and had to negotiate one with his publisher, who didn't believe the book would be a success. However, more than 100,000 copies were eventually printed. According to Lukyanenko, the 1998 first-person shooter computer game Unreal was important for the premise of the book. He has also stated that, as he finished the book, he did not plan to continue writing the series after False Mirrors.

Reception

The novel was the runner-up awardee for at the Zvyozdnyy Most fantasy festival for best continued work. It was awarded the long form award at Interpresscon, and nominated in the "Bronze Snail" and "Sigma-F" awards. The book has been translated into Czech, Polish, Bulgarian and German.

Live Nation Reintroduces Bayfront Park Amphitheatre with Nicki Minaj, alt-J, and Others
Lee Zimmerman
| Miami Music |
Lee Zimmerman | April 22, 2015 | 7:43am
When it comes to concert venues and other showcases for live music, Miami-Dade and Broward are more or less on equal footing with one another. Each county has its share of clubs and venues. Each has world class arts centers, and each has mammoth arenas to host the biggest acts that manage to make their way south.
Now however, Miami-Dade is about to gain a leg up when it comes to offering a site that can not only host headliners, but also provide a place where audiences can appreciate South Florida's hospitable climate and idyllic environment. Nestled between the expanding skyline of Downtown Miami and the manicured edges of Biscayne Bay, the Bayfront Park Amphitheatre in Bayfront Park is about to find new life as a serious concert venue which will host many of the top acts on the current concert circuit. With seating and sight lines that put concertgoers extraordinarily close to the performers and performances, as well as such perks as a state-of-the-art sound system, wait staff service, and expanded food and beverage facilities, Bayfront Park Amphitheatre makes for an intimate setting in one of the most welcoming sites in South Florida.
For some, this is no news. The venue has hosted concerts by such headliners as Robert Plant, the Moody Blues, and has served as the live stage for Ultra Music Festival. However, having been idle for several months, it was all but forgotten. Now Live Nation — the operator of this and similar facilities in other cities across the United States — have announced plans to reactivate it with a 2015 concert season that will likely place it back in the forefront of the local live music scene.
So why now? We asked that question to Neil Jacobsen, President of Live Nation Florida. "We've been involved for several years, but have just not been active," Jacobsen explains. "For awhile, we were only using it as a rental facility. We love the location, and it's right next to the bay, with only 2600 seats and an intimate lawn. There is no bad seat in the venue. We just felt that due to the South Florida economy picking up, now was the right time to reintroduce the venue to the public."
Jacobsen's confidence is manifest in the initial list of concerts that have been scheduled so far. They include the Go Hard Miami Festival (May 16), Third Eye Blind and Dashboard Confessional (June 6), BET Award winner and hit single machine Nicki Minaj (July 20), Smashing Pumpkins with Marilyn Manson (July 22), Counting Crows and Citizen Cope (July 30), the Outcry Tour featuring Christian rockers Hillsong United (August 2), Sublime with Rome (August 15), Culture Club with Boy George and the band's other original members (August 14), and alt-J (October 20).
It's an impressive roster to say the least, but it's merely the start of what Jacobsen says will be an ongoing series of top-notch shows. "We are trying to look at a well rounded schedule of all acts," Jacobsen insists. "We are trying to appeal to all demos because we feel everyone will have a great time at the venue. We hope to have other acts added and have an ongoing schedule with the amphitheatre in the future."

Q: Why the sql query to update password in not running in a php script of a webpage? I am creating a website which have two database table of client and freelancer. Now i have to integrate everything, like profile credentials, password, images etc.
initially the application have two different files(in two different folders) that handels. The change in passwords and other profile credentials such as name, username and email of freelancer and client.
So to integrate everything into single file, i am executing all the sql queries of freelancer table in the client one. All the profile credentials get updated successfully, but not the password. I dont understand why?
This is Client/profile.php file

        }
        }
}
}

My question is if the query to change username, email and phone number is working fine, why the password change for freelancer is not working?

A: The hash function algorithm can give two encrypted strings for a same inputed string so when i am calling the function two times for the client and the freelancer, two different strings and getting stored in the data base.

Fundamental Principles of Theory "I"
Theory "I" provides a revolutionary and unlimited vision of leadership. It provides a blueprint for the ultimate personal transformation, which results in success and prosperity. Professor Nader Angha teaches that our desires to implement positive and everlasting change, be it on the micro level or the macro level, must begin with personal transformation. Personal transformation resembles an internal revolution, because it signifies change that originates from the core of the individual's being. Discovery of the "I", the Source of Life within, is the first step in the journey toward self-knowledge.
Discovery of the "I" results in the emergence of its principles. The infinite and universal principles of Theory "I" are independent of all variable changes. These universal principles enfold the whole existence from atom to galaxies to human being. Through the center of "I", in the core of our being we connect with these true principles and they reflect in all aspects of our lives.
The human being is the building block of any social institution. If each individual rests in balance and utilizes his or her inherent capability, the same manifestation can be seen at every level of human organization.
* These principles manifest and become a reality only in the presence of the ultimate principle of Love and Attraction.

His musical career began in 1991 when he was featured on Main Source's track "Live at the Barbeque". His debut album Illmatic, released in 1994, received universal acclaim from both critics and the hip hop community; it is frequently ranked as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time.
Nas' follow-up album, It Was Written, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, stayed on top for four consecutive weeks, went Platinum twice in only two months, and made Nas internationally known. From 2001 to 2005, Nas was involved in a highly publicized feud with rapper Jay Z. In 2006, Nas signed to Def Jam. In 2010, he released a collaboration album with reggae artist Damian Marley, donating all royalties to charities active in Africa. His eleventh studio album, Life Is Good, was released in 2012, and was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards.

Ford Makes NASCAR History as All-New Focus Electric Becomes First All-Electric Pace Car for RIR
The Ford Focus Electric will be the first electrified vehicle to pace a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race on April 28.
Ford Motor Company is again making NASCAR history this month as the all-new Focus Electric becomes the first all-electric pace car to ever lead the field for a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Richmond International Raceway.
The all-new Focus Electric will perform all pace car duties at Richmond International Raceway on April 28.
"Ford research shows the majority of Americans would consider buying an electrified vehicle but do not yet understand the different technologies," said Mark Fields, president of The Americas. "Highlighting the Focus Electric as a pace car is a fun way to educate consumers about the kinds of benefits our electrified vehicles deliver and show people our commitment to provide Ford customers the power of choice for leading fuel economy in the vehicle that best meets their needs – from EcoBoost®-powered gasoline vehicles and hybrids to plug-in hybrids and full electrics."
Approximately 35 percent of new car intenders are motorsports fans and 78 percent of them support NASCAR, according to Ford research. Additionally, Ford race fans are 67 percent more likely to consider Ford products than general market consumers.
This marks the latest in a line of groundbreaking moments for Ford in NASCAR. In addition to being the first manufacturer to compete with a four-door sedan as its flagship model in 1998, Ford was also first to use a hybrid to start a NASCAR event when the Fusion Hybrid served as pace car for the Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway in 2008.
In January, Ford became the first manufacturer to show off its 2013 NASCAR race car when it unveiled the new 2013 Fusion racer to media in Charlotte, N.C.
The Focus Electric pace car will be unveiled for the public at the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond on April 25. Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling will deliver the Focus Electric to Richmond International Raceway, where it will serve as pace car for that weekend's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event.
"Our fans are customers," said Jamie Allison, director, Ford Racing. "And just like in racing, they expect both fuel economy and performance from their daily drivers, and that's what Ford is delivering."
Fuel-economy leadership
The all-new Fusion range, which includes EcoBoost, a hybrid and the Energi plug-in hybrid version, is the best example of how Ford is giving customers true power of choice for fuel-efficient vehicles.
This year, Ford will offer nine vehicles reaching an anticipated 40 mpg or more. Plus, the company is building six new electrified vehicles by the end of this year.
"The Focus and Fusion are great examples of how we transformed our fleet of cars, utilities and trucks with leading fuel efficiency – by electrifying entire vehicle platforms, instead of one-off specialty models," said Eric Kuehn, chief nameplate engineer, Focus Electric.
Ford will offer fuel-efficient EcoBoost engines in 11 vehicles in 2012, up from seven in 2011, tripling the production capacity of EcoBoost-equipped Ford vehicles. This expansion of fuel-efficient offerings will be led by the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine in the high-volume Escape compact utility vehicle and Fusion sedan.
Delivering up to 20 percent better fuel economy than conventional engines, EcoBoost uses smaller overall size combined with turbocharging and gasoline direct injection to bring customers the power they want and the fuel economy they need.
Focus Electric is America's most fuel-efficient five-seat car that offers the equivalent of 110 miles per gallon (MPGe) city, 99 MPGe highway and operates entirely on battery-generated power. Focus Electric has been certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to offer 105 MPGe combined.
By comparison, the Nissan Leaf is certified at 106 MPGe city, 92 MPGe highway and 99 MPGe combined. Focus Electric features more passenger room, more motor power and a faster charging system that can nearly halve the charging time of the Leaf.
Production of the Focus Electric began in December at Ford's Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Mich. More information about MAP can be found here.
Ford is ramping up Focus Electric retail production in the first half of this year for dealership availability in California, New York and New Jersey. By the end of the year, Focus Electric will be available in 19 markets across the U.S.
More information about Ford's electrified vehicle lineup – including press releases, technical specifications and other related material – can be found online here. Photos of the Focus Electric can be found here.
"The Ford Focus Electric is a major statement of Ford's commitment to bring green innovation and performance together, demonstrating for NASCAR fans how conserving the environment, creating jobs and strengthening our country can be made to happen without compromise," said Mike Lynch, managing director of Green Innovation for NASCAR. "With the largest sustainability program in sports, the NASCAR family is proud of Ford Motor Company's accomplishment with the Focus Electric pace car and what that means in terms of the tremendous impact of American innovation now and in the future."

Through the time spiral: ʻOli Ula
4 December 2021 – 2 April 2022
Emily Parr
Ngāi Te Rangi, Moana, Pākehā
Number nine Eden Crescent is along the road from Gus Fisher Gallery, beside the brick wall from which the spring Te Wai Ariki emerges. Until 1976, a beautiful two-storey house with twenty-something rooms, wide balconies and stained-glass windows stood here. The house was named 'Oli Ula for a garland strung with the fragrant red flower of the Sāmoan 'oli tree. Built in the early 1900s by Gustav Kronfeld, a Jewish merchant, and Louisa Silveira of Lotofaga, the walls were adorned with measina. Louisa made a vibrant home for their ten children and Moana peoples arriving in Tāmaki Makaurau.
Through the time spiral: ʻOli Ula reconstructs the artist's great-great-grandparents' family home using a su'ifefiloi methodology, reflecting the Sāmoan tradition of making flower garlands in which a mixture of flowers are sewn together and strung into a necklace, an ula (Refiti, 2014; Lopesi, 2021). Travelling through the time-spiral, Parr guides the walkthrough in a voiceover assembled from recorded memories of Moe (Gustav and Louisa's eighth child) and his son Tony. Remaining faithful to their words, she brings them into the present tense and links their memories with her own words — stringing the flowers into the ula.
The work considers The Booth as a kind of communicative portal, able to send and receive messages across space/time. During the First World War, Gustav was interned on Te Motu-a-Ihenga under suspicion of aiding the Germans, spending several years separated from his family. Among Parr's family's archive from this period are messages that travelled between postal censors and military authorities; the family and the government; the island and 'Oli Ula. Imagining Te Wai Ariki as a witness to these unfolding histories and utilising The Booth as a means of conveyance, the work connects Te Motu-a-Ihenga and 'Oli Ula; 2021 and the early twentieth century; Parr and her ancestors.
The Booth is open for proposals in an annual call. Read more about the space here.

Supreme Court Enhances Information Rights of Directors in Insolvency Process
In Vijay Kumar Jain v. Standard Chartered Bank (decided on 31 January 2019), the Supreme Court was concerned with the question whether under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 the resolution professional is obligated to provide to members of the suspended board of directors all relevant documents pertaining to the corporate insolvency resolution process, including the resolution plan. The Court answered in the affirmative.
The Supreme Court was considering a series of cases where the insolvency resolution professional denied information to members of the suspended board of directors. In one such case involving Ruchi Soya Industries Limited, the National Company Law Tribunal dismissed an application by a suspended director of the company to obtain access to information and participate in meetings of the committee of creditors (CoC) even though he had executed a non-disclosure agreement to keep the information confidential. The director was unsuccessful in his appeal before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal and hence he knocked on the doors of the Supreme Court.
In answering the question posed, the Supreme Court first set out the relevant provisions of the Code as well as applicable Regulations. Primarily, section 24(3)(b) of the Code is categorical in that it requires the resolution professional to provide notice of every meeting of the CoC to members of the suspended board of directors. This is similar to the position relating to substantial operational creditors, i.e., those who hold at least 10 percent of the total debt. Moreover, while convening CoC meetings, the resolution professional is also required to present all resolution plans at such meetings. After considering the statutory scheme, the Court noted that although the members of the suspended board are not members of the CoC, they nevertheless enjoyed the right to participate in the CoC meetings and in the discussions therein.
In this case, the corporate debtor relied extensively on the notes on clauses to section 24 of the Code, which provided that the participation of the board members in CoC meetings would enable the resolution professional "to seek information that they may require to assess the financial position of the corporate debtor and prepare a resolution plan". This argument was supported by the importance the Court ascribed to notes on clauses in the Code in its earlier decision in Mobilox Innovations Private Limited v. Kirusa Software Private Limited (21 September 2017). However, in this case, despite the importance of notes on clauses as an aid to construction of the statute, the Supreme Court found considerable difficulties in the manner in which the note to section 24 of the Code was drafted, and refused to accept that the information flow is only a one-way street, i.e., from the directors to the resolution professional and not the other way around.
In rejecting the reliance on the notes on clauses, the Supreme Court placed emphasis on the fact that directors who are guarantors are necessarily interested in the insolvency resolution process and thus need to be provided access to relevant information. It noted:
"… we find that Section 31(1) of the Code would make it clear that such members of the erstwhile Board of Directors, who are often guarantors, are vitally interested in a resolution plan as such resolution plan binds them. Such plan may scale down the debt of the principal debtor, resulting in scaling down the debt or the guarantor as well, or it may not. The resolution plan may also scale down certain debts and not others, leaving guarantors of the latter kind of debts exposed for the entire amount of the debt. The Regulations also make it clear that these person are vitally interested in resolution plans as they affect them."
Moreover, such interested persons have a right of appeal before higher fora, which can be meaningfully exercised only when they are in possession of relevant information relating to the corporate insolvency resolution process. The Supreme Court was also categorical in stating that every participant in a CoC meeting (including a director) is entitled to notice of the meeting containing an agenda along with copies all documents to be discussed, including resolution plans.
While this approach towards greater transparency and governance in the insolvency resolution process is understandable, there is a risk in embedding the rationale for transparency on the ground that directors of the suspended board may also be guarantors. This is a factual question and may not be entirely true in all cases. It remains to be seen whether a director who is not a guarantor can rely on the Supreme Court's reasoning with equal vigour.
The Court also recognised that the erstwhile directors must be provided with all information, as they can make representations to the CoC. This would especially be true in cases where the insolvency may have arisen on account of factors that were beyond the control of the board of directors of the corporate debtor. It goes without saying that fears of wider dissemination of confidential and sensitive information can be allayed by requiring the recipients to enter into appropriate non-disclosure arrangements.
Given this background and the reasons enumerated, the Supreme Court ordered the resolution professional to provide copies of the resolution plans to the appellant directors. Therefore, the resolution professional is to convene a CoC meeting at which the directors can participate before a decision is taken on the fate of the resolution plans and that of the corporate debtor itself.
This decision has the effect of introducing more sunshine into the corporate insolvency resolution process. The Court has clarified the information sharing obligations of the resolution professional and granted information rights to participants such as directors and operational creditors. By doing so, it has fortified a two-way information flow: from the directors to the resolution professional and CoC members that will enable them to prepare the information memorandum, and a converse flow from the resolution professional to the directors so that they can take adequate steps to not only make their position known to the CoC members but also to protect their own interests.
Given the sometimes difficult dynamics involved in the resolution process, the decision-makers such as the CoC members (being financial creditors) and the resolution professional may be keen to keep the erstwhile management out of the picture, but the Supreme Court has effectively stepped in to rectify such a situation. The decision mandates greater transparency, enhanced governance in the insolvency process and a wider and meaningful participation by all interested parties.

Claudia Rankine's Citizen—which concerns, among other things, racism and police brutality—was published in October 2014, but subsequent printings of the book, a finalist for the National Book Award, have already included changes that reflect the deaths of new victims, including Michael Brown and Eric Garner.

An anonymous hacker has posted private e-mails, files and other documents belonging to a noted climate researcher, sparking an international debate between skeptics of global warming and those who see it as an urgent problem.
The files include about a decade of e-mail correspondence belonging to Phil Jones, director of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England. Shortly after news of the leak began circulating Thursday, critics of global warming science zeroed in on some of the messages as evidence of bias in the climate research community.
Jones' e-mails offer some candid insight into the thoughts of a noted climate researcher and his peers.
"We are undertaking a thorough internal investigation and we have involved the police in this enquiry," she added.
On Friday, the research unit's Web site had been moved to an emergency Web server, presumably as a result of the breach.
The e-mail, which includes Jones' correspondence with other researchers and journalists, can be searched here.
Judging from the data posted, the hack was done either by an insider or by someone inside the climate community who was familiar with the debate, said Robert Graham, CEO with the consultancy Errata Security. Whenever this type of incident occurs, "80 percent of the time it's an insider," he said.
E-mail data dumps are a familiar way of settling grudges in the hacker community, but they happen in the political world too. Last year, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's Yahoo Mail correspondence was published after a hacker managed to reset her account password.

AGY is a long-established specialist in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of allergies. The Pollinex Quattro (PQ) platform, an ultra-short-course subcutaneous allergy immunotherapy (AIT), continues to gain market share despite its availability in the EU on a 'named-patient' basis only. The aim of ongoing trials is to move the platform to full registration under the new regulatory framework. Positive outcomes in Phase III allergy trials are notoriously difficult to achieve because the primary endpoint is always subjective. Prudently, AGY included an objective secondary endpoint, which was highly significant, paving the way for regulatory discussion.


Before I attempted to end my life in April 2017 I was a very walled off person. I really didn't trust anyone enough to talk about my feelings, the thoughts in my head, etc. I felt this way because I'd been hurt and lied to a few times and I'd learned my lesson.
After my incident I found myself to be very open about everything especially the lies, manipulations and heartbreak that led up to my attempt.
Lately, in the past few months, I've realized that I'm shutting myself off from everyone again. This shutting off even includes the little I love and trust the most. I feel as though I'm a burden to them and they're tired of hearing me talk about me, something I was never really good at doing anyway. I fell like a burden to my therapist when we go a half hour to an hour over or session when she could be doing something else.
Of course these friends tell me I'm not a burden to them and that they're there for me no matter what. It's hard for me to believe when I know they have their own lives and troubles as well. I fell as though I've taken up enough of their time so I remain silent.
