In the name of staying on top of the documentation of this bump, here it is at 15 weeks! I have been feeling so much better, thank God! I'm finally out of the all-day-sickness nonsense, and only feel a little nauseous some mornings, and my energy is BACK! I can't tell you how amazing this feels. I am (mostly) myself again! But seriously, I cannot even believe we're almost halfway there. I have a lot to say on this, and I will be sharing all of those thoughts and feelings soon… For now, it's CRAZY. Let's leave it at that.
It was a good weekend, indeed. Friday started with a coffee and park date with some friends. Sam was the only boy, but he had fun with his girlfriends. ;) He did, however, get stuck with girl's toys, but I think he has a fondness for Hello Kitty now! Ha!
I'm back on that workout game! And this tank top from Arden Deals was just the motivation I needed.
Some bunny got his very first haircut this weekend! I can't even handle it. Now, if you have never cut a baby's hair before, it is NOT for the faint of heart. Because you know, you have to make sure not to cut his precious ear or skin while still trying to get a semi-decent-looking haircut, all while Baby is moving around like a madman. Yeah. It was difficult. And now he looks all grown up. But don't worry, that bedhead isn't going anywhere.
No weekend is complete without a family walk! And you guys, these shoes. They are hands down the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn (I recommend sizing up one whole size). I'm already planning on getting another pair.
Ending the weekend with baby cuddles and those scrumptious thighs is exactly what the doctor ordered. Now tonight is the Bachelorette finale!!! Go Team Shawn!
THE FLU, DOWNTON ABBEY AND GOATS, OH MY!
So glad you guys had a great weekend! Little Sam is getting more handsome by the day, and you are looking beautiful Mama!
Those shoes are so cute! And ahhhh sam's haircut! He looks so grown up!
I KNOW. I can't stand it!! It's like he's a TODDLER now!! What?!?!?
Your food trucks sound awesome!
I'm just glad you kept enough hair on him for the bed head to continue! He's too cute! Does he look exactly like Zack's baby photos?
When my older brother was little he was given a haircut by my mom, and he kept moving so my mom accidentally cut his ear! So now when my younger brother goes to the salon to get his haircut, he tells the stylist that every.time.
Oh my gosh, what a scary thing!! I'm sure you mom was absolutely mortified at the time!!! Hilarious that your brother tells that story all the time- I probably would too, ha!


Almost every employer and agency is doing things the hard way as far as I can see. I'm not one of these commentators who has never worked in recruitment. I started my career placing accountants in an ongoing winner-takes-all death match against Michael Page and Robert Half so I learned about recruiting the hard way.
To be absolutely truthful, after 2 years, I really didn't want to talk to a candidate ever again but I loved the marketing aspect to recruitment so I moved into a recruitment marketing agency and then consulting at PwC.
Nearly 20 years later though and from my vantage point, 80% of internal recruiters and 95% of agency recruiters are still working the hard way. Most of their days are spent doing the same things I was doing in 1999. They can save a huge amount of time and, basically, fill more jobs in less time if they break from their boss's 'tried and trusted' methods. So, let's take a look at what's changed and what recruiters today are still doing they shouldn't be.
OK, we didn't have LinkedIn when I started in recruitment but it emerged only a few years later. As recruiters, we thought it was a panacea and to an extent, it was. LinkedIn and other social networks made the world more transparent and for a period, we spammed candidates and they responded. They felt flattered to be 'head hunted' and gave us the time of day. Now though, many recruiters still do the same and sit with straight faces, helplessly watching their response rates declining. What they haven't realised is that, while we were making hay, candidates were becoming used to approaches from recruiters and for them, that earlier feeling of excitement to be singled out for a job opportunity was replaced with déjà vu and a yawn. They became used to it, slower to read messages, less likely to respond.
Not only did apathy set in but candidates can find out much more information about you as an employer than they could in the past. They can find out from sources like Glassdoor and The Muse what the coffee really tastes like if they work at your organisation. So, they don't need to talk to recruiters until they've been through a self-directed research journey.
Unfortunately, today, some recruiters try to adapt by increasing their 'numbers.' Increasing the number of people identified, number of messages sent by InMail and email and number of cold calls made is not the answer. It's inefficient. So how can we adapt in a way that increases our performance? Simply put, the answer is in technology and here are a few ways that the smartest recruiters I know are making technology work for them so they can fill more jobs in less time.
Matching tools like Pocket Recruiter allow you to search social networks, CV databases and your own ATS/CRM to tell you which candidates have the skills you need for your vacancy. They search multiple locations faster than you can and because they are embedded with artificial intelligence (simple AI at this point), they return better results than you can, ninja or not.
In many markets, unemployment is low, candidates are in high demand and rarely interested in making a move. So how do we know who to talk to first? Talent pipeline products are emerging in recruitment which track and score candidates' interactions with your social media, careers site / corporate website, landing pages, Glassdoor, YouTube and more. You're then able to stack rank your database according to a real-time engagement score which this tells you who to contact first and saves vast amounts of time.
Now we know technology can help us find suitable people and identify those who are likely to be interested, we still need to paste '00s of individual messages to people's email or social media accounts, right? Not right. Take a look at People.camp, GPZ and similar tech solutions which allow you to distribute personalised messages to large numbers of candidates at once.
Next, let's say you have a large number of applicants, who has the time to do all the first interviews? Probably not you as you're handling 30 reqs at once. I know this might sound a little futuristic but products like Robot Vera will do that for you. They will assess the candidate's suitability based on a telephone or video interview. Israeli company Intervyo's AI interviewing product claims to be able to measure the depths of the human soul.
Of course there are elements of recruitment which only humans should do, such as second stage interviews and managing offers but if you haven't done this, my advice is to break down all the aspects to your role as a recruiter and consider, are there tech products which will give me more time to focus on the things I do better than anyone and anything else.
If you're just starting on this journey, I recommend taking a look at Talent Tech Labs' Ecosystem which has categorised the technologies you should be aware of, helpfully grouping them according to different recruitment activities.

Texas Children's Hospital is a nationally ranked, freestanding 973-bed, acute care women's and children's hospital located in Houston, Texas. It is the primary pediatric teaching hospital affiliated with Baylor College of Medicine and is located within the Texas Medical Center. The hospital provides comprehensive pediatric specialty and subspecialty care to infants, children, teens, and young adults aged 0–21 throughout Texas and features an ACS verified level I pediatric trauma center. Its regional pediatric intensive-care unit and neonatal intensive care units serve the Southern United States region and also has programs to serve children from around the world. With 973 beds, it is the largest children's hospital in the United States.

In addition to its main site in the Texas Medical Center, Texas Children's Hospital has satellite campuses in the suburb of The Woodlands and at its West Campus near Houston's Energy Corridor neighborhood. Texas Children's also has a network of clinics throughout the Houston metropolitan area and maintains partnerships with sites across the world through the Texas Children's Global Health Network.

Texas Children's Hospital is ranked as one of the best children's hospitals in the country and the world. The 2022-2023 edition of U.S. News & World Report ranked Texas Children's Hospital #2 amongst 200 pediatric hospitals in the nation, and it has been recognized on the U.S. News & World Report Honor Roll for fourteen consecutive years.

History
In 1940, the Texas Medical Center was first chartered as a set district. Texas Children's Foundation is formed to gain support to build a children's hospital and 6 acres were set aside for the planned hospital. Groundbreaking for the new building was held in May 1951.

As the hospital was being built, hospital leaders established a relationship with the Baylor College of Medicine to allow students to be taught at the new hospital. The original Texas Children's Hospital was planned to have 3 floors and 106 beds.

Texas Children's Hospital was first opened on February 1, 1954, creating the first children's hospital in Texas. From the start in 1954, physician-in-chief Russell Blattner, established a new policy that at least one parent may be with a child during a hospital stay, setting a standard for parental visitation now commonly seen at children's hospitals around the world.

In 1962, Texas Children's Hospital partnered with St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital to open up the Texas Heart Institute. Years later Texas Children's Hospital separated from the Texas Heart Institute instead establishing their own pediatric cardiology program.

Over the years, patient numbers at Texas Children's Hospital continuously increased. The hospital completed a $149-million expansion in 1989 that constructed two new buildings; the West Tower and the Wallace Tower. In addition to the new buildings, the hospital also renovated the main building known as the Abercrombie Building.

On September 21, 1971, the patient known as "Bubble Boy," David Vetter was born at the Texas Children's Hospital. Vetter was immediately placed into a sterile "bubble" because of his SCID diagnosis. The boy lived in the hospital throughout his life before being discharged a few years later. Eventually he went to the Dana–Farber Cancer Institute for an experimental stem cell transplant, but died days later after contracting Epstein–Barr from the marrow, which had been undetectable in the pre-transplant screening.

By 1993, the hospital officially had 465 licensed beds.

When Hurricane Katrina first hit New Orleans in August 2005, Texas Children's (along with other hospitals) sent helicopters to Tulane Medical Center, Ochsner, and CHNOLA in order to help evacuate pediatric patients from the hospital. In addition to helicopters, Texas Children's sent multiple fixed wing aircraft, ambulances, doctors, and nurses to Baton Rouge to help with patient care in New Orleans. In the aftermath of the storm, Texas Children's Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine also took in pediatric residents from Tulane to continue their education. Texas Children's Hospital was the primary pediatric evacuation hospital during Hurricane Katrina.

Texas Children's completed a capital campaign in 2018, called Promise: The Campaign for Texas Children's Hospital, which was intended to meet the needs of a growing patient population who have a wider spectrum of complex needs. The campaign raised $575 million and included construction of Texas Children's Hospital The Woodlands, which provides pediatric care for families in the communities north of Houston, as well as construction of the Lester and Sue Smith Legacy Tower in the Texas Medical Center. This building houses additional surgical and critical care services and Texas Children's Heart Center, including an Adult Congenital Heart department.

In November 2020, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson collaborated with Microsoft and billionaire Bill Gates to donate Xbox Series X consoles to the Texas Children's Hospital along with 19 other children's hospitals throughout the country.

Research
Also at TMC, The Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's also operate the nation's only Children's Nutrition Research Center, a United States Department of Agriculture facility that researches the nutritional needs of pregnant women, nursing women, children, teens, and young adults.

The hospital operates several research centers, including the David Center, which was established in 1984 to honor David Vetter, the twelve-year-old also known as the "Bubble Boy," who died of a rare immune-system disorder. The David Center is dedicated solely to treating immunological-deficiency diseases, especially those involving the development of cancer.

Adult programs
In addition to their pediatric specialties, Texas Children's Hospital serves adults through a couple of their nationally recognized programs. Texas Children's Hospital has one of the largest adult congenital heart disease programs in the U.S., and recently opened up a 16-bed inpatient unit to care for adults with congenital heart disease (legacy tower).

Additionally, it houses the 106-bed Texas Children's Hospital - Pavilion for Women, providing gynecological and maternity care for women of all ages.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Texas Children's Hospital opened up their units to adult patients of all ages to reduce the load on adult hospitals in the area. Texas Children's Hospital accepted adults – both those who had COVID-19, and those that tested negative but were in the hospital for unrelated reasons.

Rankings and recognition
In 2013, Parents Magazine listed the hospital as #7 on their Top 10 U.S. Children's Hospitals list.

In 2016, the hospital was named as one of the "100 great hospitals in America" by the publication Becker's Hospital Review.

In 2017 Texas Children's Hospital was recognized for "facility management excellence" by the American Society for Health Care Engineering.

In 2020, Texas Children's was listed on Newsweek's World's Best Specialized Hospitals list for pediatrics.

The 2022–2023 edition of U.S. News & World Report ranked Texas Children's Hospital as the 2nd best children's hospital in the United States. Texas Children's Hospital is 1 of 10 hospitals designated on the U.S. News & World Report Honor Roll, which is reserved to hospitals that rank in all 10 subspecialties surveyed.

Facilities
Texas Children's Hospital is made up of many buildings including three hospital campuses, research centers, multiple specialty care centers, primary care offices, and urgent care centers. Texas Children's Hospital is currently under rapid expansion throughout Texas.

Texas Medical Center

The main campus of Texas Children's Hospital is located in the Texas Medical Center. The Texas Children's Hospital buildings include inpatient facilities in Legacy Tower, West Tower, Pavilion for Women, and the Abercrombie building. Also located at the Texas Medical Center campus is the outpatient Wallace Tower, and the research buildings: the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute and the Children's Nutritional Research Center.

West Campus
In addition to the main Texas Medical Center campus, Texas Children's also has a hospital located in west Houston, Texas Children's Hospital West Campus. The hospital has 94 pediatric beds, 2 procedure rooms, and 8 operating rooms. The hospital originally opened on December 1, 2010, as just an outpatient hospital before their expansion, adjacent to the Houston Methodist Hospital West. The campus is notable for containing the first pediatric biocontainment unit in the country. The west campus also has a helipad to transport critical cases to the main campus.

The hospital is listed as one of The Leapfrog Group's Top Children's Hospitals for both the 2018 list and the 2019 list.

The Woodlands
Texas Children's Hospital The Woodlands originally opened its outpatient tower in October 2016. The hospital's inpatient tower features 85 pediatric beds and the area's only dedicated pediatric emergency room.

In early 2020, supermarket chain, Kroger donated $100,000 to Texas Children's-The Woodlands to help in the fight against childhood hunger.

Austin
In mid 2020 officials from Texas Children's announced that plans were made to build and open a new children's hospital in Northwest Austin, Texas. The plans are for a $450 million, 360,000 square foot hospital with 48 beds and shell space for future expansion. The announcement comes at a time when Austin based Dell Children's Medical Center also has plans to open a new children's hospital in North Austin. The expansion of pediatric services is attributed to the fact that Austin is one of the fastest-growing cities in America. The hospital is expected to be complete in 2023.

Texas Children's Cancer Center
Texas Children's Cancer and Hematology Center is one of the largest pediatric oncology and blood disease centers in the United States.  The 2021–22 edition of U.S. News & World Report ranked Texas Children's Hospital #4 in the subspecialty of pediatric cancer within the United States. It is located in Houston, Texas.

The hospital provides comprehensive pediatric specialties and subspecialties to infants, children, teens, and young adults aged 0–21 throughout Texas.

The facilities of the multidisciplinary center, located at Texas Children's Hospital in the Texas Medical Center, includes a 36-bed inpatient unit, a  outpatient clinic and a 15-bed bone marrow transplant unit, as well as 47 research laboratories. Each year the center provides a specialized level of care to more than 4,000 children and adolescents newly diagnosed with cancer and blood diseases.

History
Originally called the Research Hematology-Oncology Service, Texas Children's Cancer Center was founded by Dr. Donald J. Fernbach in January 1958. The National Cancer Institute provided the first grant that the center was funded on.

In 1959, the first bone marrow transplant from one identical twin to another was performed by Fernbach; this was one of the first procedures of its kind for aplastic anemia.

The Hematology Center at Texas Children's Hospital has been treating children diagnosed with hematological disorders since 1958.

Proclaiming "the bond between HTML5 and native has arrived," proponents of the Ionic mobile framework are set to offer developers a tool for building hybrid applications with an emphasis on touch and animation functionality.
"We just felt like there wasn't a framework that was heavy on touch, animation, [and] gestures but was also a powerful programming library, not just a look and feel," says Max Lynch, CTO at Drifty, which oversees development of Ionic. "So we decided to build that."
Asked how Ionic differs from similar-sounding tools from companies like Sencha and Appcelerator, Lynch cited Ionic's MIT license, which lets developers use the framework in any commercial or open source product without paying for a license. Ionic offers a more native approach to development and AngularJS is a differentiator, he says. "Angular is becoming incredibly popular, so Ionic is a perfect fit for Angular developers."
"The goal of what we're trying to do is basically provide the most compelling alternative to building with the iOS or Android native SDKs and any other native SDKs that we end up supporting in the future," Lynch says. He notes labor and cost savings with Web development as opposed to the native variety. "Instead of spending half a year on two entirely different code bases for iOS and Android, you can build just one with HTML5."
Ionic, says Drifty Senior Developer Adam Bradley, takes advantage of the hard work put in by HTML5 over the years. "When legacy browser issues are no longer a concern, you all of a sudden have this realization that today's browsers come with some pretty powerful APIs. We're targeting iOS 6 and up, and Android 4 and up, which is an extremely large market share and will only get larger, and the devices will only get faster."
Development of Ionic only began in September. The alpha release came out last week and is available on GitHub. A beta version is planned for the end of this year with an official 1.0 release eyed for mid-winter. As a business model, Drifty plans to build an ecosystem of mobile development services that use Ionic at their core.

Letzau ist ein Gemeindeteil von Theisseil im Landkreis Neustadt an der Waldnaab im bayerischen Regierungsbezirk Oberpfalz.

Geographische Lage
Letzau liegt 4 km östlich von Weiden in der Oberpfalz und 2 km südöstlich von Theisseil.
Östlich von Letzau verläuft die Staatsstraße 2166.
Letzau liegt am oberen Ende des Hölltales, das sich von Letzau nach Südwesten bis nach Bechtsrieth erstreckt.
Südlich von Letzau entspringt der Gleitsbach, der durch das Hölltal nach Bechtsrieth fließt und südlich von Engleshof in die Luhe mündet.

Geschichte
Der Name Letzau (auch "Lůtsow, Leutsow, Leutsowe") ist slawischen Ursprungs.
Bis zum 10. Jahrhundert war die Gegend von Letzau von Slawen besiedelt.

Im 9. und 10. Jahrhundert entstanden die sogenannten Königstraßen oder Hochstraßen, die abseits der Flüsse über die Höhenzüge führten.
Zu diesen gehörte die Letzauer Hochstraße, die von Anton Dollacker und Michel Hardt beschrieben wird.
Sie führte von Amberg über Schnaittenbach, Luhe, Letzau, Floß und Plößberg nach Tirschenreuth.

Im 12. Jahrhundert gehörten Güter in Letzau dem Kloster Waldsassen.
Bei Schenkungen an das Kloster Waldsassen wurde Letzau 1218 erwähnt, als Friedrich von Waldthurn Gutsbezirke für die Dörfer Schönfeld und Triebendorf erwarb.
Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts gehörte Letzau zur Herrschaft der Waldthurner.
3 Huben in Letzau waren im 13. Jahrhundert im Besitz der Störe von Störnstein.
Diese verkauften ihren Besitz in Letzau in der zweiten Hälfte des 13. Jahrhunderts an den bayrischen Herzog.
1261 überließen die Brüder Berthold und Ulrich von Waldthurn und Heinrich von Pleystein Letzau dem Kloster Waldsassen.

1553 gehörte das Dorf Letzau mit 7 Höfen, 4 Gütern und 2 öden Höfen den Waldauern zu Waldthurn.
Im Jahr 1553 wurde der Wald "Die Höll" bei Letzau in einem Vertrag zwischen Ulrich von Heideck und Willibald von Wirsberg zu Waldthurn genannt.

In statistischen Beschreibungen von 1630, 1666, 1743, 1806 wurde Letzau beschrieben als ein Kirchdorf und eine Gemeinde im Landkreis Neustadt an der Waldnaab mit 28 Anwesen, 2 Tripflhäuseln und einer Mühle.
Es gehörte zur Pfarrei Waldthurn.

Seit 1821 war Letzau unmittelbare Landgemeinde, zu der Oberhöll gehörte.
1830 wurde die Gemeinde Remmelberg, zu der außer Remmelberg die Ortschaft Schammesrieth gehörte, nach Letzau eingemeindet.
Die St.-Johannes-Nepomuk-Kirche von Letzau war Filialkirche zur Pfarrei Waldthurn; jetzt Expositur von St.Josef(Weiden).
1838 wurde das Landgericht Weiden in der Oberpfalz gebildet.
Dabei gelangte die Gemeinde Letzau vom Landgericht Vohenstrauß zum Landgericht Weiden.

Im Zuge der Gebietsreform in Bayern wurde Letzau mit Edeldorf und Roschau 1972 zur neu gebildeten Gemeinde Theisseil zusammengelegt.

Snorkeling, one of the simplest of Hawaii's variety of sea leisurely actions might be the grounds for an incredible family holiday within the islands!As everyone search for imaginative ways to extend our getaway spending budgets, a good look around this straightforward, low-cost activity can provide for any getaway with remembrances much like anything at all your families knowledgeable collectively! As opposed to deep-sea diving, snorkeling offers the silence that you can listen to seems emitted by seafood, crustacea, and also the soothing seem of beach sand rubbing from fine sand as being the upper layers relocate together with the influx action.
Needless to say, you need to be in a position to swim to visit snorkeling. That being said, the level of your aquatic ability determines the quantity of snorkeling you're capable to follow. Given that snorkeling can vary from drifting on top in joint-deep drinking water to descending beyond depths of 60 ft. or maybe more, snorkeling offers a range of alternatives from the most basic sea encounter on the exciting activity of totally free-diving.The device collection is straightforward. A cover up, snorkel, and a pair of fins are typical you'd need to begin several in-h2o discipline trips to several Hawaii shorelines every single with its personal exclusive elegance.
Underwater disposable video cameras (as well as some water-proof level-and-snap versions!) are a fantastic expenditure that will increase the Lembongan Tours expertise. Everybody knows that fifty percent the fun for any venture is the opportunity re-pay a visit to photos of the event and some excellent under water pictures will probably be amid your most treasured souvenirs or even a wonderful visit to Hawaii!When very secure once the necessary precautions are seen, snorkeling is not without threat as it is any water sport. Being exposed to coral bottoms, currents, and critters who's all-natural safety or intuition can present substantial threats to us mankind are also natural risks that while generally not seasoned are out there.
Equally as you'd read up on any new area or vacation spot you'd be browsing, time invested understanding locations in which you'll be capable of snorkel whilst staying in Hawaii could make the main difference between a one-time beachfront excursion with no 1 voting to get a second vacation versus a family group activity that may have you all getting up on a daily basis looking forward to another journey.Books on Hawaiian reef sea food (the operative phrase on this page being "reef" to limit the species of fish to the people you're very likely to encounter instead of these video game species of fish you'd only find in wide open beach) and beach wildlife would go much in piquing the interest of each member of the family by permitting every single to produce the two expectations and expectation… crucial ingredients to your exploratory project!

In 1914, a German writer named Paul Scheerbart published a futuristic treatise of one-hundred-eleven sections called "Glass Architecture". Scheerbart was a poet and a science fiction novelist. Before becoming a writer, he was an inventor experimenting with a perpetual motion machine. He lived in Berlin, kept an impressive circle of intellectual drinking friends, and since the turn of the century had written an average of a book and a half each year.
Following the privatization of Deutsche Post in 1995, the company built a new office building in Bonn in 2002 to highlight the strength of its corporate image. The Post Tower, at 162.5 meters, is now the tallest building in Bonn, and as designed by architect Helmut Jahn, its oval glass sheath provides ventilation in the summer and insulation in the winter. Moreover, as befits a company devoted to communication, this monument in glass and steel sends a message: We are powerful; we are also transparent. See, nothing up our sleeves.
1914 not only marks the beginning destruction of the historic stone facades of Western Europe's cities. In the same year, the Belgian Emile Fourcault invented a method for the commercial production of large glass sheets: flat glass. Early generations of Modernists immediately became enthralled with the revolutionary potential of this transparent technology. For the first time in human history, it became possible to conceive of buildings, programs, etc – that would not be there; buildings, whose presence would be a studied kind of absence; whose form would have no expression.
"Glass is strange": With this statement, as seemingly mundane as it is illuminating, begins a recent attempt to write a "world history" of glass. Indeed one would say, but perhaps not entirely obvious. Glass is so omnipresent in our daily lives that it has become nearly invisible, taken for granted, but when we do take closer notice, it is hard to categorize, existing only as an in-between state of matter.
The new museum age is upon us. Only a decade ago, the "poetics and politics" of museum display were subjected to scrutiny, deconstruction, and plain criticism. Essays like James A. Boon's melancholy piece, "Why Museums Make Me Sad," appeared on the scene at that time. Douglas Crimp wrote his reflections "On the Museum's Ruins" and, still earlier, Theodor W. Adorno famously compared the museum to a mausoleum.
To explain, to understand, to explore facts and relations between facts, to find causal mechanisms, to theorize social reality, to expose what is otherwise unknown, to disclose hidden truths on society; all these terms and expressions describe the mission of the social scientist. Yet, we can use a different notion to convey this mission: transparency. The role of the social scientist is to make the social world transparent, both to the observer and to the participant.
Some time ago The Wayward Cloud [the last film in the trilogy by Taiwanese director Ming-liang Tsai comprising What Time Is It There? (2001) and The Skywalk Is Gone (2002)] passed through São Paulo. With little dialogue and lots of songs, the film follows - among other characters dealing with a water shortage in Taipei - Hsiao-Kang, an impromptu pornographic film actor who seems a bit fed up with the gymnastic artifice to which his work subjects him.
If computers decline in performance, tuner software programs are used. If electrical impulses need to be amplified, radio specialists use "tuners", so, for example, radio receivers, as amplifiers. How can performance improvements can be achieved in politics and societies, societal development effects be amplified, this was the topic discussed by Frankfurt journalist Norbert Schreiber with the renowned sociologist Ralf Dahrendorf, who has published a new book from CHBeck-Verlag about the role of intellectuals in today's society.
The attempt to recount the past presents the cinema with very specific choices. Narrative choices, because the plot of a film can follow events chronologically in a historically accurate manner, or instead abandon a strict interpretation of the facts in order to give a better idea of the overall sense of an event, a period, or person.
The phenomenon of Czech-Slovak bilingualism is, apart from Serbian-Croatian, unique in Europe. Its origins can be traced to the idea of the Czechoslovakian state as it evolved within the national movements of both Czechs and Slovaks from the year 1800 onwards.
While tapping the backspace or delete key is a familiar act for every computer user, the question arises: where do all the letters (signs, images, pixels) go? Were they ever 'here' at all? What hides behind the deletion?

In traditional libraries, this function of de-selection is known as 'weeding'. As the term suggests, weeding involves removing books that are no longer used. Librarians perform this operation regularly to free up space for more recent acquisitions.
Tel Aviv, December. Europe is snowed in, but here the sun shines and it is quite warm. The coffee shops are open everywhere and it is difficult to find a place at the tables that crowd the pavements. The country is in a pre-election fever. But then Israel is always finding itself in the grip of events that seem destined to decide its future. Everything feels so fateful.
The fact that is really rare and worthwhile remembering is that the last works of certain artists and the paintings left unfinished (…) are more admired as such than if they had been completed: in them, you can indeed observe the outline of the project of the missing part, and thus perceive the very line of thought of the artist. And the regret for the hand that is no longer - that left us when it was busy as never before - beguiles and feeds the public's admiration.

The Blog of CF Photography: ALL FIRED UP!
Time to get fired up! It's March and I'm ready. Ready for what you might ask. Well, everything. I am on such a roll I hope I can find a way to get everything done.
As you have noticed I've been blogging a bit more and loving every minute of it. I hope to share more thought and ideas in the future. Oh, and please let me know if you have ideas, any ideas. Photographically or for the blog or even what movie I should see. In fact I hope to see Paul next week. It looks funny.
I'm also fired up about my portrait photography. No I'm not getting out of weddings. I love shooting wedding and being part of someone's special day. With that said I have found a new love for portraits that I didn't have before. I have always loved looking at great portraits but was looking for more passion to take them and I think I found that passion. Please keep an eye out for my personal project "The Iconic Image Project". It's been awesome journey and I've learned a lot about what it is to look at, take and to have a portrait. A little sneak peak would be my self portrait on my web site. It's the first image of me that I truly love. It's also the worst image of the whole project, after all it was a self portrait.
So in closing I say to all of you, go get fired up and find that passion about something in your life.


If you claim to be a Christian and your voice is not being heard, the odds are good that your words have been censored. Your voice has been silenced. Your speech has been imprisoned.
The first thing the Lord Jesus does with new disciples is free their speech. He encourages people to talk. He did this in His ministry.
In fact, He chose the freeing of voices as the principal sign of Pentecost.
Whenever you read a passage in the Gospels about the Lord healing a mute person, it is a sign for all—a Miracle Parable—that reveals His intention to free the voices of His people. The mute people in the Gospels were not only real people in real time, they were also parabolic types of muted people throughout time—those whose voices have been shut down—those whose speaking has been disallowed.
They brought to Him one who was deaf and spoke with difficulty, and they implored Him to lay His hand on him.
Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put His fingers into his ears, and after spitting, He touched his tongue with the saliva; and looking up to heaven with a deep sigh, He said to him, "Ephphatha!" that is, "Be opened!" And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was removed, and he began speaking plainly.
First Amendment rights do not apply in many churches. If one's mode of Christian congregating disallows for communication and spiritual edification through the use of EVERYONE'S voice, then that mode contains a serious flaw. It is a flaw that results in spiritual problems for the congregation as a whole, because it silences whoever has the anointing of God to speak and be heard but cannot, due only to man-made religious conventions that oppose the will of God.
It is no secret that the majority of Christian congregation methods disallow anyone from talking except the chosen few—the very few chosen few. We all know this is true. Christians have been conditioned to keep silent in the churches.
One of the reasons Christian blogs have exploded on the internet within the last five or ten years is because many if not most of these Christians had nowhere else to speak. Most were never allowed to speak in church or even in Bible studies. Our entire framework of Christian meetings and congregational gatherings has only ever allowed for the voice of the one percent, which results in religious control rather than free expression, and the consequent dumbing-down of the great majority.
The greatest evil, however, perpetrated by those who buy into this anti-God system that silences the voices of 99% of all Christians, is making them feel completely unworthy, and thus unworthy of speaking.
The Lord jumped all over the Pharisees' case and kept telling them they were nothing but a bunch of evil actors (hypocrites) pretending to be something they were not who gained and kept control over the masses of people by transforming everything into a stage play with themselves as the only participants, and certainly as the only ones with speaking parts.
So what do many later Christians do? And what do the Christian elite of the present do? They transform everything into a stage play with themselves as the only primary participants, and certainly as the only ones with speaking parts.
In fact, if one were to remove the stages, platforms, and dual-class seating arrangements which always separate the chosen few occupying their positions of control from everyone else, making real fellowship impossible by forcing the 99 out of 100 to focus on the backs of everyone's head instead of their faces, there would be little "Christianity" left in America. Almost everyone has been conditioned over long decades and even centuries to adopt these strange formats which were never used as fellowship formats by the Lord Jesus or the early community of believers.
Yes, whenever the Lord spoke to large numbers of people, all were focused on Him. But whenever He taught His disciples, He sat down among them in a rough circle using an open and organic format, so they could all see one another as well. This format greatly aids in the development of koinonia in which each person is allowed to contribute and thus develop spiritually as a real disciple. Using one's voice allows one to mature.
Thus, what they had was dynamic. Everyone was part of the process. Everyone had a voice and was allowed to use it. Real Christianity thus exploded fast and the Gospel traveled fast and MILLIONS ended up in the kingdom of the Lord relatively fast. It happened that way because everyone was being used of God instead of the mere "chosen few" who demand control and their own authority much more than the spiritual interactivity arising from koinonia.
Those real Christians were allowed to use everything they had for the Lord, especially their voice.
So there's your clue: If you are not allowed to speak in your Christian meeting, it is most likely not the Lord Jesus holding you back. He wants you involved. Your input is needed. Nothing can replace your voice.
From this we know it is not the enemy from without that is holding back the Great Awakening, since the Lord has given His people power over such enemies. The real enemy is much closer to home. The real enemy is the power vested in compromised Christian leaders and all those who support them in forcing their own personal agendas in part through silencing the voices of millions of believers, and making them what is essentially a quiet collective supporting without question those in control, and rendering all potential Pentecosts absolutely impossible.
IT IS OFTEN THE PEOPLE CONTROLLING THE STAGE, PULPITS, SPOTLIGHTS, MICROPHONES, AND TV CAMERAS WHO DISALLOW THE VOICES OF EVERYONE ELSE.
It is obvious they consider themselves as the only ones worthy and everyone else as unworthy.
In order to be the Lord's celebrity one must be an anti-celebrity.
This is why the Lord often has to do something outside the scope of ultra-organized religion to get anything done. It is why John the Immerser stayed out in the wilderness. It is the only way to overcome the control of the religious leaders with only their own interests and enterprises at heart and not the Lord's or those of the majority of the people. Whenever such controllers are in authority it inevitably shuts everyone else out, other than, of course, their hand-picked, sold-out, "safe" ones who only speak what they are allowed to speak. Indeed, that which is allowed by them to be spoken is often not of the Holy Spirit, which proves further the deadness of most church services and why the Lord Jesus is not in charge.
Before they silenced the majority's voice, they silenced His voice.
So again, the Lord's model for His lively, spiritually-healthy, vibrant, organic Community and also for Great Awakenings involves first the opening of deaf ears and the removing of tongue impediments so that every single one of His people can "begin speaking plainly" as did the mute man, and "speaking the mighty deeds of God," as did all of those in the Upper Room.
And since all Great Awakenings begin with Great Repentance, one of the first things everyone must do is repent for allowing their great power of speech to be silenced and not made available for the Lord's use.
Real Christianity involves ALL of His children and ALL of their voices.

I wanted to say thank you for stopping by my page and your encouraging words. Just as I was replying my computer had a hiccup and I lost your comment and my reply. I appreciate you taking the time to comment and to offer much needed encouragement. Good news to report – I will be posting soon on results.
That's great, Patty. Thanks for the visit over here and the good report. Blessings to you!
Sadly true. We criticize the Catholic church because it discourages the laity from reading the Bible, thereby gaining knowledge; the hierarchy maintains its authority over the people. But we do the same thing when we make clear by attitude and sometimes the spoken word that the only ones who are allowed to speak are the pastor, his staff, and a few select elders. Everyone else is to just remain silent and do as they are told.
I would not stay in a church like that.
Thanks Linda. No real Christian would stay in a church like that. Be blessed and keep up the good work!
Thanks Al. I appreciate it. Blessings to you.
This entire notion of control that permeates so many Christian gatherings, of wanting to take charge and have an outlet for one's will—of being dominant, and of "lording it over the brethren," did not have its start with the Lord Jesus. It happened somewhere along the way from there to here, and in reality, it began very early on.
Of course, during His sojourn on the planet as one of us, the Lord Jesus was not at all the way so many Christians traditionally portray Him. He was actually a very powerful personal force. He was a Man among men. But He knew He had to torque it down to be spiritually effective. One may wonder why the Lord had to begin His ministry with a 40-day fast. He was always fasting. If He had to do this there must have been a reason.
One will find then, two completely different types of Christian or Christian minister: There are those who operate purely in the flesh, who have head knowledge, who have no spiritual power, who look like the world and act like the world and produce fleshly fruit, and want to be in charge instead of allowing the Lord Jesus to be in charge, and they ARE, regardless of what they may say otherwise.
Then there are those Christians and Christian ministers who understand what being a real Christian is actually all about, in that the Lord Jesus must be in charge, is the only One worthy of being in charge, and is the only One who can make things work properly and correctly. So they yield to Him. They surrender to Him. They recognize Him as the only Good Shepherd. They see very clearly all the work He has already done, ESPECIALLY THE WORK OF THE CROSS. They know He is the only One who deserves to be the King and they honor Him as such and take their cue from Him only.
"Like trying to rustle cats" That was funny Brother Al, but I can't think of a better way to put it.


It is pretty commonplace for someone to bemoan how terrible email is today.
If email was an employee, I'd fire them for incompetence.
I'm not one of those people. I happen to like email quite a bit. Actually, compared to above, I'd ask if maybe we shouldn't be fired instead of email. Maybe we, as a hypothetical manager of email, should be fired for being a bad manager of said email.
Email can definitely be unwieldy, but I look at it a lot like notifications on smart phones or answering cell phones or watching television or … most things where we can get obsessed with.
Email is asynchronous, open, distributed, and reliable. It is cheaper and easier than a hand-written letter (so it can be used in many more instances) and you can control it by turning things off.
Today, however, you do need to manage email more than when it was not as ubiquitous. This might mean being more careful with where you hand out email out, using the SPAM reporting functionalities, and maybe filtering some of the emails.
I don't, however, think that is too much to ask.
I like email and I am glad it is going to stick around.
People seem to put a higher premium on the communication method the more ephemeral it is. Email sticks around too long for them…heck even texts are too permanent. So those Snapchats are way more valuable.
It's a struggle for many folks to deal with the daily onslaught of data and information. Email seems to be a strong hang-up for many.
That's one of the best things about email … that it sticks around. I still feel email is the best bad communication platform we have. Controlled by no one and yet able to be used by everyone.
Well, Google wishes they could control it … stupid Gmail IMAP implementation.

JWed Creates Virtual Dating Initiative Amid Continuing Coronavirus Threat
Written by Amy Hetherington
Jewish dating site, JWed, has produced a virtual dating initiative as more people remain home in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.
JWed, which has offices in New York and Tel Aviv, developed the idea to ensure that the coronavirus did not dissuade couples from dating.
Chief executive of JWed, Ben Rabizadeh, said: "JWed is doing everything we can to mitigate the toll the virus may have on the dating lives of Jewish singles. By providing the option to date from home, JWed can continue to help singles find their soulmates during these challenging times."
The initiative, which will include video chat and date scheduler features, is not yet available to the public but JWed assures customers it is working full-time to get it launched as soon as possible.
Rabizadeh added: "We envision a virtual dating experience that mirrors the authenticity of a night out in Central Park—daters will still dress up, have stimulating conversations, and engage in the same witty banter that they'd expect on an in-person date. The only difference will be the screen between them."
JWed is a family-run, Jewish-only dating site aimed at marriage-minded singles. The site boasts a wide range of people from different cultural and religious backgrounds and of diverse ages and interests.
The site uses a "location graph" that allows daters to specify where they grew up, want to live, and their ideal holiday destinations meaning profiles appear in more location searches.
There is the possibility that the coronavirus will impact other dating companies including Match Group. American financial services company, Jefferies, has already predicted that the company's share price will drop due to the continuing threat from the virus.

Gilead chief racks up best-CEO laurels for Sovaldi-fueled 2014
Gilead CEO John Martin
End-of-year bouquets are piling up for Gilead Sciences CEO John Martin. After winning top reviews from the Harvard Business Review for his 2014 performance, Martin has picked up a "best CEO" nod from a Tuck School of Business prof. And the investing site Motley Fool puts him among the year's three "most exceptional" corporate chiefs.
You don't have to look far for the first reason. It's the $8.5 billion-plus launch of Sovaldi, the breakthrough hepatitis C drug. The drug's Formula One-style performance makes Martin's $11 billion Pharmasset buyout look like a bargain, though it seemed like a hefty price to pay back in 2011.
And now, Gilead ($GILD) has two sofosbuvir meds on the market: the original Sovaldi and a combo pill, Harvoni, which also includes a brand-new antiviral ledipasvir. The two-in-one treatment is already racking up impressive sales.
Yes, Gilead has come under fire for pricing both hep C drugs at $1,000 per pill and up. Payers are gnashing their teeth, and many patients can't get access to the drugs, which are by far the most effective--and easy to tolerate--treatments on the market. But investor-oriented rankings don't concern themselves with thorny public health debates.
Martin "successfully brought Sovaldi to market and embraced a pricing strategy that delivered significant value to investors," Tuck professor Sydney Finkelstein said in announcing that Martin came in fourth on his list of top 5 CEOs of 2014.
HBR called Martin the second-best CEO in the world, for similar reasons. And Motley Fool points out that Gilead didn't just pull off a hep C coup this year. The company also reaped the benefits from Stribild, its four-in-one HIV pill approved in 2013. The new treatment is a follow-up to Atripla, which combined three drugs from three different companies, so Gilead had to share the wealth. Stribild is a completely in-house project.
Of course, Martin doesn't just win praise from outsiders. He's rewarded handsomely by the company and its board. His $15.45 million in 2013 compensation put him 8th on FiercePharma's list of highest-paid CEOs in biopharma.
