Sun-scorched ground at risk from future flooding
With many areas of the UK not seeing any significant rainfall since the end of May as a result of the exceptionally warm summer, the Know Your Flood Risk campaign is warning people to be prepared for when prolonged rain or thunderstorms arrive; the results of which have the potential to pose a real threat of flooding.
In its newly published edition of the Homeowners Guide to Flood Resilience, which is a free guide designed to support home owners in being 'flood aware and prepared', it has sections dedicated to learning about flood risks. This includes surface water flooding, which can occur when heavy downpours are unable to soak away or overcome surrounding drainage or sewerage systems.
The free guide offers assistance on how to protect your home, community-based defence options plus a new section specifically on Sustainable Drainage Solutions (SuDS). In addition, the guide includes helpful hints and tips relating to property-level resilience that encourage appropriate drainage with the aim of reducing surface water flooding.
Mary Dhonau OBE, chief executive of the Know Your Flood Risk and a champion for community-based flood resilience said "We need to take heed from historic events, for example, in 2012 many areas of the country badly were hit by flash flooding, after a series of storms that broke following a long period of dry conditions. Flooding can happen when people least expect it and, with the current hot conditions, the ground simply won't be able to soak up rainfall and surface water flooding will pose a real threat.
"I am therefore urging the public to be flood aware. If we experience prolonged or exceptionally heavy downpours within the next few weeks, I fear that the hard, dry ground will be unable to absorb the rainfall and the drains and sewers may not be able to cope, leading to potential flooding."

Welcome Cosmo Cricket to the talented design team at Moda Fabrics.
A love of letters was the starting point for Circa 1934, the line of fabric for Moda designed by Eric and Julie Comstock, the husband-and-wife team who go by the name Cosmo Cricket.
Eric developed an enduring affinity for typography when he worked as a typesetter in an old print shop during his college years. Circa 1934 started with typewriter key cap imagery, as well as numbers in a lively, high-contrast typeface so popular during the 1930s. It grew to include design elements like ceiling tiles and moldings found in the building that housed the old type blocks. "Our designs often work this way," says Julie. "It's a very organic process." The result is a line of fabric with elements bold and graphic, as well as sweetly detailed.
Sharing ideas comes easily for Eric and Julie, who work at back-to-back desks in their home studio. They have distinct personal styles—Eric favors a clean, modern look while Julie's most at home with a vintage, cottage-y vibe. By melding those two perspectives, Cosmo Cricket's created a distinctive look that can be found on posters, gift wrap, online photo books, and more.
Circa 1934 is their first line of fabric for Moda, and Julie is especially thrilled. "Whenever we design something, I always tell Eric I'd love to see it in fabric," she says. For years Julie sewed curtains and pillows for their home and she also enjoyed designing and sewing clothing for their four children, as well as some of her own. Work has kept her from the sewing machine lately, but seeing precuts of Circa 1934 is inspiring a return to stitching.
Project shown will be in a future Quilts N More issue.
Ask for Circa 1934 from your favorite retailer, September 2011.
Moda Fabrics/United Notions (http://www.unitednotions.com), located in Dallas, TX, are manufacturers and distributors of quilting fabrics, notions, pattern books, finished textile products, and quilting supplies.
I for one can't wait for this line to come out.
So excited for this line, and that they are now with Moda.


Although my kids are somewhat seasoned travelers, I hadn't taught them the proper steps needed to do the unexpected standby dance. We had to learn the moves quickly on our most recent hockey trip with my son's team. Since we booked a short 45-minute flight between Phoenix and Las Vegas, it didn't occur to me to warn my kids about the possibility of flight delays, flying standby, and lost luggage. And I wasn't prepared for my 9-year-old daughter's tears as it all unfolded, the embarrassment this would cause her 13-year-old brother, or the pressure this would all place upon me. Here are seven tips for flying standby and handling flight delays with kids that I learned from this experience that may save your family time, stress, and unexpected emotional disappointment.


Systems Engineering (Tove Larsen, Max Maurer, Joao Leitao) looks at the engineering options and methodologies to lead the urban water infrastructures into a sustainable future.
Source typing and tracking (Christoph Ort, Jörg Rieckermann, Frank Blumensaat) The quantification of pollutant loads in wastewater is on the one hand a requirement to study options on the minimization of impact on the environment, on the other hand it also offers unique opportunities to learn about changes of society's lifestyle and also to develop early warning systems.
Intelligent Network Operations (Jörg Rieckermann, Joao Leitao, Andreas Scheidegger, Frank Blumensaat) aims at (i) developing methods to obtain better data on key variables and states of our wastewater systems, such as rainfall, flows and pollutant discharges to receiving waters, (ii) provide better models to assess water and pollutant fluxes as well as urban flood risk and aging of our infrastructure.
Urban Water Observatory (Max Maurer, Frank Blumensaat, Andreas Scheidegger) is a test-bed where modern measurement equipment provides us with a detailed picture about the processes in a urban water catchment.
How can the overall performance of distributed treatment systems be estimated and maintained?
The aim of this project is to gain more insight about sustainable infrastructure management and to develop tools and methods for complex decision making for infrastructure planning.
Project aim is participative decision support for the long-term transition to innovative wastewater infrastructures.
We aim at facilitating the use of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis in urban water management practice.
We are identifying the challenges of modular infrastructure systems for the Swiss economy and society using the example of urban water management.
Decentralisation changes wastewater quantity and quality that is discharged to the sewer. We investigate the effects of these changes on the operation of existing centralised sewer systems.
The 'Transitions Pathways Generator' (TPG) model aims at the systematic generation of transition pathways describing technical adaptations of the urban drainage infrastructure.

Q: How do I get a Windows Form App to work with a class? I'm a beginner learning Windows Forms Applications in C# and I want to write a program that will prompt the user to enter the name of a place and to enter 2 digit temperature (F) between ranges 20 and 100. When the user presses the "OK" button on the form I want to have a messagebox displaying the name of the place they entered, and the temperature (F) they entered plus its Celsius conversion and an error message in case any of the fields is left blank or if the temp falls beyond the range.
I would like to have a class to handle the conversion and the logic.
I'm still learning guys and I've spent all day on this already only getting a few pieces of code working but I'm afraid I'm not understanding what I'm doing. I'm ok with the form design, what I have an issue with, is the c# code and using classes. I'd really appreciate if someone could show me code or good hints for what I want to do.
For your sake I'm not including my code because it may confuse you then we'll spend hours talking about "why did I do something" but if you really want to see it let me know.
Being a beginner I'd much appreciate beginner-like answers.
Thank you guys !

        //MessageBox.Show(string.Format("Temperature: {0}", (ctemp.GetTemp(celsiusTemp.text))));

}

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace Calculations
{
    class Calculations
    {

        string placeName;
        double celsiusTemp;

        public string GetPlaceName(string place)
{

                return placeName = place;
        }

    public double GetTemp(double temp)
        {
            return celsiusTemp = (temp + 10);
        }

    }
}

A: What you need to do is to take a step back and just ignore the whole WinForms problem. Try to solve the specific problem first:

I want to write a program that will prompt the user to enter the name of a place and to enter 2 digit temperature (F) between ranges 20 and 100. When the user presses the "OK" button on the form I want to have a messagebox displaying the name of the place they entered, and the temperature (F) they entered plus its Celsius conversion and an error message in case any of the fields is left blank or if the temp falls beyond the range.

What could be breaken down into two different problems:

*

*Enter to temperature with value between 20 and 99 (since you specified two digits)

*Convert the temperature into Celsius

The validation is something that always should be done, so I don't consider it as a separate  problem.
The next thing to do is to think about how you want the solution to work. Always start with the solution, since it's often easier than trying to create the implementation directly. Test Driven Development is really great since it does just that.
I would want something like this (pseudo code):
var fahrenheit = dialog.GetInput();
var celcius = fahrenheit.Convert(new FahrenheitToCelciusConverter());
resultDialog.Show(fahrenheit, celsius);

Defining objects
Now since we know what we want to do, lets focus more on the actual implementation. By looking at the pseudo-code we've identified that we need a couple of classes.
First of all, we need to get the input
// the validation should be done in this form when the user
// presses OK. But that's up to you to figure out
public class PlaceAndTemperatureForm : Form
{
    public PlaceAndTemperature GetPlaceAndTemperature()
    {
        return new PlaceAndTemperature(txtName.Text, int.Parse(txtTemperature .Text));
    }
}

And since we need to get the data from the form, lets create a class to contain it:
public class PlaceAndTemperature
{
     public PlaceAndTemperature(string name, int temperature)
     {
         Name = name;
         Temperature = temperature;
     }
     public string Name { get; private set; }
     public int Temperature { get; private set; }

}

Look at the class above. It has private setters which means that no other class or code can modify it. It's called immutable objects. The good thing is that we know that it's always safe to use and cannot be in an unexpected/invalid state. You should always try to have immutable objects, or at least not let any other objects change the state without having the class itself validate the changes.
Next up is the conversion. We wrote the following code:
var celcius = placeAndTempature.Convert(new FahrenheitToCelciusConverter());

Hence we need to modify the class to take a converter and return a new place.
public class PlaceAndTemperature
{
     public PlaceAndTempature(string name, int temperature)
     {
         Name = name;
         Temperature = temperature;
     }
     public string Name { get; private set; }
     public int Temperature { get; private set; }

     public PlaceAndTemperature Convert(ITemperatureConverter converter)
     {
         return new PlaceAndTemperature(Name, converter.Convert(Temperature));
     }
}

I've just introduced a new concept called Interfaces. You can look at them as word templates or a blue print. They are there to define how a class should look like, but not to have any logic. It's a specification.
public interface ITemperatureConverter
{
    int Convert(int source);
}

The problem now is that we have two PlaceAndTemperature objects, the original one with fahrenheit and one with celcius. We need to be able to identify which kind of unit is used, or we'll probably end up with some nasty bugs later on.
Lets add a unit specification using an enum.
public enum TempatureUnit
{
    Celcius,
    Fahrenheit
}

And modify the previous classes and interfaces:
public interface ITemperatureConverter
{
    int Convert(int source);
    TempatureUnit SourceUnit {get;}
    TempatureUnit TargetUnit {get;}
}

public class PlaceAndTemperature
{
     public PlaceAndTempature(string name, int temperature, TempatureUnit unit)
     {
         Name = name;
         Temperature = temperature;
         TempatureType = unit;
     }
     public string Name { get; private set; }
     public int Temperature { get; private set; }
     public TempatureUnit TemperatureType {get; private set; }
     public PlaceAndTemperature Convert(ITemperatureConverter converter)
     {
         return new PlaceAndTemperature(Name, converter.Convert(Temperature), converter.TargetUnit);
     }
}

Putting it all together
Great. Not much left now. Let's revisit the original code and update it:
public void Button1_Click(object source, EventArgs e)
{
    var form = new PlaceAndTemptureForm();
    var result = form.ShowDialog(this);
    if (result != DialogResult.Ok)
        return; // failed for some reason

    var fahrenheit = form.GetPlaceAndTemperature();

    var celcius = fahrenheit .Convert(new FahrenheitToCelciusConverter());

    var form = new ResultForm();
    form.SetTemperatures(fahrenheit, celsius);
    resultDialog.ShowDialog(this);
}

Summary
There is still some things that you need to fix yourself. Like creating the FahrenheitToCelciusConverter. Start with something like:
public class FahrenheitToCelciusConverter : ITemperatureConverter
{
    public int Convert(int source)
    {
         // put your code here
    }
    public TempatureUnit SourceUnit {get { return TemperatureUnit.Fahrenheit; }}
    public TempatureUnit TargetUnit {get { return TemperatureUnit.Celcius; }}
}

And you'll also need to create the result form, or simply update the main form.

A:
at this point in Form1.cs I get " 'celciusTemp' does not exist in the current context"

OK; now we're getting somewhere. celciusTemp is indeed part of Calculations, not Form1, but that shouldn't really impact us, as we already have the temperature:
double temp = Convert.ToDouble(txtTemperature.Text);

(I assume txtTemperature exists)
The problem seems to be not using temp in the later call:
MessageBox.Show(string.Format("Temperature: {0}", ctemp.GetTemp(temp)));

(note the above uses temp, not celsiusTemp)
As asides, I'm not sure it is necessary to store placeName and celsiusTemp as fields on the Calculations class; they could be static methods, unless there is more detail to add. But that is unrelated to the primary issue here.

I hope you <3 what you hear, don't hesi to share. Inquiries: IneedStaasiaDaniels@gmail.com Staasia Daniels is a singer/songwriter/performer/entertainer/turtle-lover from the talented city of Toronto. Music (and food) has always been a passion of hers; it just does this magical thing where it brings her out of her shell and allows her to express her struggles, experiences, and quirky yet lovable personality. Her highly-recognized YouTube covers soon turned into a realization of her calling, so she decided to pursue it seriously and attended college for an Independent Music Study program. Here she honed not only her singing, but writing, recording, mixing, and much more. It was also here that she met another multi-talented artist by the name of Xpress aka DJXP, who is now her GSX label-mate and producer. From there, she released tracks that garnered attention, nominations, and recognition worldwide (from an Australian magazine, the Black Canadian Awards, and a few more), leading her to perform and showcase in various places over North America (including Texas for SXSW and Atlanta for A3C). Staasia Daniels has shared stages with people like Lil Simz, Mario, Lyfe Jennings, and has graced major venues like Toronto's Mod Club, The Drake Hotel for cardinal festivals like Canadian Music Week and Manifesto. Following the successful release of her debut EP "Hidden Gems", she's landed in various publications including NOW Magazine and Complex CA, which named her as one of the year's "Artists You Need To Know". After a tease with "the 1 + 2 ep", SD is now prepping her next major project, "Mood Roulette", which is set to please ears this coming January.

We rewatched the original Divergent movie the night before and I am glad we did as this movie jumps head first into the story without much of a backwards glance. There are a few flashes from the past but not many and instead has a complete pace change to the first segment. I found this was either so intense your where speeding along like a train with no brakes or you were basically standing still while it prepared itself for the next scene. It just didn't have that same natural flow. The last quarter was great and exciting and had the heart racing but then it just fall flat.
I like when a sequel brings its original cast back and expected more to be introduced to full the gaps but no one really took that position instead it focused basically on Tris and at times Four. It honestly could of finished with this movie but instead there are another two in the mix leading to the conclusion. Currently the third installment is at the movies now and I am not in any rush to see it after seeing this movie. It had the potentinal to be something new and refreshing but to find it is following along the other films lines it just left a bad taste in my mouth.
I did enjoy this movie right up to the point where the explanation for the whole silly town was explained - what a huge let down. What a complete cop out!!! I expected it to be for some riveting reason but instead to hear the same silly explanation similar to The Maze Runner just left me feeling completly deflated. To hear that it was an experiment on how to live in peace is just rediculous and loses all credit to the story, especially considering the town has exsisted for two hundred years. Just silly no other word for it!

Dated: 28th of July, 2015
Now this second installment jumps straight into it. Not much in the way of a refresher, seeing as the first film came out a while ago, so I found myself a little confused. Trying to remember who all the characters were, and why they were suddenly fighting each other. This sequence ends up getting interrupted by armed forces trying to catch them, and this becomes a rather common theme throughout the film. There are very few proper slow parts to the film. Every time the film begins to slow down, they have to rush off to escape another attack attempt. It allows the film to progress at a rather accelerated rate, without having to worry too much about logic or planning, but it also means the plot generally seems to lack coherent logic and planning.
The actual factions play much less of a focus in this sequel (unless you consider refugees and those that are factionless to be faction), and that does help the film be a bit easier to follow. The factions do still have purposes, and the different roles are relevant, but the character groups are generally downplayed to just Tris' team, Jeanine's team, and 'others'. The actors and actresses from the original film return, but some have much smaller roles, to the point that I couldn't really see the point of them appearing at all.
The film introduces a new major character, who has a very minor part to play in the film, but whose significance in the next film is implied. If it weren't for this character, I would certainly have been happy finishing this Divergent story at two films. Nearly every plotline is covered, and has a happy ending.

The United States Phonograph Company was a manufacturer of cylinder phonograph records and supplies in the 1890s. It was formed in the Spring of 1893 by Victor Emerson, manager of the New Jersey Phonograph Company. Simon S. Ott and George E. Tewkesbury, heads of the Kansas Phonograph Company and inventors of an automatic phonograph joined later. It was based in Newark, New Jersey. After the collapse of the North American Phonograph Company in August 1894, the United States Phonograph Company became one of the industry's largest suppliers of records, competing mostly with the Columbia Phonograph Company who had joined with the American Graphophone Company to manufacture graphophones (at this point nearly identical to phonographs), blank wax cylinders, and original and duplicate records. The USPC manufactured duplicates as well, which allowed their recording program to reach the scale of competing with Columbia's. Their central location and proximity to New York allowed them to record the most popular artists of the 1890s, including George J. Gaskin, Dan W. Quinn, Len Spencer, Russell Hunting and Issler's Orchestra. Emerson left the company to lead Columbia's recording department around the summer of 1896. In 1897 the USPC worked with Edison's National Phonograph Company to retrofit phonographs with spring motors invented by Frank Capps. The convenience and cost savings of spring-motor phonographs like these helped shift the phonograph from a public entertainment (in parlors or exhibitions) to a consumer good. In October 1899 the company was prohibited by court order from manufacturing duplicate records, and they began supplying original records for the National Phonograph Company[7][6][6][5][5]. The later U.S. Phonograph Company of Cleveland Ohio is unrelated.

Secure Decisions to Develop Advanced Application Security Threat Management System
Home / Secure Decisions to Develop Advanced Application Security Threat Management System
Northport, NY — November 26, 2016 — Secure Decisions, a division of Applied Visions, Inc. and an industry leader in cybersecurity situation awareness, has been selected by the Department of Homeland Security to lead the development of a new cyber threat management system for application software. The Application Security Threat Attack Modeling (ASTAM) program will produce an integrated, open source system that will increase the accessibility of web application security.
Today, organizations typically rely on fragmented, time-consuming, and reactive approaches to cybersecurity. Vulnerabilities remain unresolved for months — or years — as teams struggle to keep pace with IT growth, compliance reporting requirements, and security incidents. While there have been important improvements to host- and network-based security, applications have not received sufficient attention. This has led web application software to become the leading avenue through which computer system breaches occur, according to Verizon's Data Breach Investigations Report for 2016.
The ASTAM solution will help organizations manage application security in a cost-effective, risk-centric manner. It is being developed for organizations that run web application software and possess high-value information or operate high-value computer systems. Such organizations are routinely the target of adversaries seeking to steal, destroy, ransom, or otherwise interfere with their operations. By improving the quality and security of the software these organizations develop and run, we can reduce the opportunities for expensive and disruptive computer system breaches.
ASTAM will provide a scalable solution for web application security that offers value throughout the software development lifecycle. Through a unified threat management user interface, the solution aims to provide correlation of static and dynamic analysis scan results, a guided approach to threat modeling, prescriptive threat mitigation advice for developers, automated penetration testing and attack simulation, automated countermeasure development, and continuous monitoring and assessment.
Secure Decisions draws upon its considerable experience conducting and managing application security R&D to lead the ASTAM project. It has enlisted the services of several subcontractors — all technical and thought leaders in their domains — to provide special expertise and development services to the ASTAM program. Denim Group will contribute hybrid analysis mapping (HAM) capabilities, VerSprite will develop application threat modeling (ATM) tools, Aspect Security and Siege Technologies will build out automated attack simulation and countermeasure (ASCM) development capabilities, and Deloitte will identify transition partners and lead pilot testing of the ASTAM solution. Secure Decisions will employ its team of software engineers, cybersecurity and threat management experts, UI/UX experts, and quality assurance and testing staff to develop continuous monitoring and assessment (CMA) capabilities, and integrate all the developed technologies into a unified threat management system.
The base period of the program commenced in September 2016 and will reach its first major milestone in March 2017. It is expected to be followed by two one-year optional development phases and a one-year optional pilot phase. The results of the ASTAM program will be released as open source software for use and modification by the application security community.
This material is based on research sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate, Cyber Security Division (DHS S&T/CSD) via contract number HHSP233201600058C.
About Secure Decisions:
Secure Decisions was created as a division of Applied Visions, Inc. to conduct R&D and develop innovative technologies in cybersecurity, including network defense, infrastructure protection, application security, intelligence analysis, and data visualization. Secure Decisions develops tools for decision-makers to analyze large amounts of complex data, and to provide cutting-edge security measures to protect their proprietary information. In 2015, the application security R&D conducted by Secure Decisions led to the development of a new application vulnerability correlation and management system, which is now commercially available through a spin-out company called Code Dx, Inc.

The Second Coming of Russell Brand
Jesse Carey
"My personal feeling is the teachings of Christ are more relevant now than they've ever been."
If you have even a surface-level knowledge of comedian, actor, writer and all- around provocateur Russell Brand, this is a shocking statement.
Though in recent years he's become more and more vocal about social justice issues, for much of his career, Brand has been known for his uniquely raunchy brand of shock comedy (This is the guy who once brought his drug dealer to work with him when he was an MTV VJ.).
He continues: "When stripped of the cultural inflection of the time when it was first written and is variously being translated, there is an undeniable truth."
Yes, Russell Brand, that Russell Brand, believes the world needs Jesus' message now more than ever. It's something he thinks a lot about.
Brand feels the world is profoundly broken. Technology, pop culture and social media have accelerated the worst impulses of human nature, and, in his view, never has there been a time in history that humanity has more desperately needed the message of Jesus.
"There's a famous quote: 'Every man who knocks on a brothel door, he's looking for God,'" he says. "Crack houses and these dens of suffering and illicit activity, they're all people trying to feel good, trying to feel connected. People are trying to escape. People are trying to get out of their own heads. To me, this is a spiritual impetus."
This is at the core of why he believes the message of Jesus Christ is so important right now: Humanity is (metaphorically), knocking on a brothel door, in that they are looking for fulfillment in things that will only leave them empty. And because instant, but quickly fleeting, gratification is always at our fingertips—Amazon Prime, Instagram likes, pornography, text messages and other modern trappings—we have become addicted.
And addiction is something Brand knows a lot about.
In his new book, Recovery: Freedom From Our Addictions, Brand not only further delves into his own struggles with addictions to drugs, sex, alcohol, food and fame, but also how he's found a pathway to healing.
Recently, this journey has taken a surprising turn.
Brand now feels the answer to breaking out of this vicious cycle—not just as an individual struggling to get clean from drugs, but as a culture—is a spiritual one. It's one he thinks can be found in Jesus.
A CHARACTER WE ALL KNOW
For many Americans, their first introduction to the comedy stylings of Russell Brand was the 2008 hit comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall. In the film—and subsequent spinoff Get Him to the Greek—Brand plays a famous, constantly philosophizing British rock star known for dating a famous American celebrity and going sober after years of drug-fueled antics. In other words, there's a lot of similarities to the real-life Brand, who was famously married to pop star Katy Perry for about two years in 2009.
But before becoming an American movie star, Brand was a well-known celebrity in the U.K., famous for his controversial stand-up comedy, being an MTV VJ, serving as the host of the reality show Big Brother's Big Mouth, hosting his own radio and TV talk shows and acting in various popular series.
He was also known for struggling with drug addiction, often in extremely public fashion. He'd become a fixture of British tabloids, and in his darkest moments, would even cut himself.
In the years since Brand has gotten clean, he has written openly about his troubled upbringing and becoming addicted to alcohol, hard drugs and sex. Fifteen years ago, he decided something in his life needed to change.
Already having been arrested a dozen times for drug-related incidents, Brand was caught shooting up heroin in the bathroom during an office Christmas party by his agent, who knew that Brand's life was now legitimately at risk.
After an intervention orchestrated by his agent, Brand embraced recovery—not just as a means of getting clean, but as a way of seeing the world. The experience radically changed him, and he's since become an advocate for what's known as the 12-step program, an addiction recovery method based largely on Christian principles that is centered on a reliance on a higher power, self-reflection and forgiveness.
The program transformed Brand's life. And in the years since he discovered it, Brand began to see everything through the lens of the 12 steps.
"I've been in recovery from drugs and alcohol for 14 and a half years," he explains. "The longer I've been clean from drugs and alcohol, the more I've noticed that [our] own addiction—and perhaps addiction in general—is affecting our behavior in ways that we wouldn't previously have assumed."
A SOBER VIEW OF THINGS
The 12-step program takes time, because ultimately, it isn't about changing behavior, it's about changing oneself. The first three steps are based on the ability to recognize the depths of our own circumstances and to begin to understand how we can free ourselves from them.
"We admitted that we were powerless over our addiction, that our lives had become unmanageable," as he paraphrases the 12-steps in the book. "We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him." Brand explains the steps in more modern—more profane—terms, essentially, getting "unf***ed up."
The program caused him to think about the powerlessness people have over their addictions if they refuse to recognize the depths of their own brokenness—even if the addictions aren't drugs or substances.
"Everything we do can be colored by this unconscious belief that we can make ourselves feel better with external stuff, be it behavior or chemicals," he says. "So what I've kind of come across mentally is that either we are working an unconscious program or a conscious program. So if we're not consciously running a program, we're running on the unconscious program of our past and of our culture. That's what I wanted to understand an alternative to."
Essentially, Brand believes that instant-gratification culture has led to a culture of addicts, and the 12 steps—which include things like "humbly [asking] God to remove our shortcomings," "making a list of all persons we had harmed and [being] willing to make amends to them all" and "… [seeking] to improve our conscious contact with God as we [have] understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out—can help free people."
However, when he was first introduced to the program—by an atheist, ironically—he had one problem: all of the religious talk.
He was known as a bohemian cultural figure with a taste for dirty jokes, and the whole "God" thing didn't seem natural. So, instead of becoming traditionally "religious," he changed how he thought about religion.
"My understanding of what religion means altered," he explains. "Because when I think about the aim, the purpose of religion, I think it becomes—when you put aside the social institutions that spring up around religions in all their strains and various forms of strands—I believe that the purpose of religion is love and connection, to feel connected to one another and to feel at ease with who we are … a kind of oneness, a kind of wholeness. So, as I began to understand that, this sort of superficial language of religion seemed less relevant."
It took a while, but after stripping away the "superficial language of religion," Brand decided to connect with the higher power at the root of the 12 steps. Brand became fascinated with spirituality as a way of escaping the pull of physical vices, and his struggles with addiction—and their root causes—framed his way of viewing faith.
"My route to spirituality comes through addiction, so it comes from desperation and fear and this sort of defeat, destruction, annihilation of self in a very humiliating way, I suppose," he explains. "So, I had no choice but to embrace spiritual life, but now I am grateful for this. It makes sense of my life."
Brand realized that cultivating a spiritual life could help free himself from the strongholds of addictions by treating the root causes of the pain he'd attempted to dull with drugs. And being raised in the U.K.—a traditionally Christian country—he turned to the Christianity. He began implementing spiritual practices every day.
"Because I come from a Christian culture, a lot of the language of prayer that I use is Christian," he explains. "I say the Lord's Prayer every day. I try to connect to what those words mean. I connect to what the Father means. I connect to what wholeness means to me. I think about the relationship between forgiveness and being forgiven and the impossibility of redemption until you are willing to forgive and let go."
The practice of embracing spirituality, prayer and digging into the teachings of Christ has helped keep him on the path to personal recovery. But while discovering his own unique spiritual path, he also uncovered a message that could be the key to transforming culture.
RECOVERING THE WORLD
Brand says reciting the Lord's Prayer made him start thinking about what Jesus really meant by the words. One phrase in particular began to jump out at him: "Thy kingdom come … on Earth as it is in Heaven." What does that idea mean for a world crippled by addiction to superficial fulfillment?
"I think continually about what Christ meant by the afterlife," he explains. "And for me, it's that when you are disavowed of the illusion that the material will fulfill you, you enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The Kingdom of Heaven is spread upon the Earth."
He references Jesus' command to the rich young ruler in Matthew 19 who asks, "What good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?" Brand says, referencing Christ's response, "Give away all your possessions and follow me—that's a pretty radical thing."
Brand says the reason why this idea is so radical is because it strikes at the core of the values so many people secretly hold: that money and materialism can cure our unhappiness. "I think the reason that the economic arguments Christ offered are not promoted is because they are deeply at odds with the way we live," he explains.
Instead of focusing on unhealthy patterns centered on self-fulfillment, the message of the Gospel offers an alternative: caring for others and helping those in need.
"I've seen in many formats now—because I've played out the same pattern many times—the attachment to physical things, physical behaviors or people, will never make me happy," he explains. "But service of others and values that are certainly found in Christianity will make me feel peace or make me feel happy. It's a lesson that's very hard to learn."
The reason he says the lesson is hard to learn is because even when people are free from drugs and alcohol, there's always the pull of a society focused on self-gratification instead of selflessness. That struggle—consistently questioning our attachment to material things instead of eternal ones—is the tension of a journey to actual recovery.
"I question what would happen," he says. "'Russell, if you had the strength of character to give up everything and just live in the service of love? Would you?' I sort of rationalize why I don't do that. I don't have to. I can't. I've got a wife and a child and live in a capitalistic society and would just be vulnerable and exposed and torn up by reality. But no, of course, the spiritual perspective is, 'No, you would be carried there by grace.'"
Brand frequently interjects that he's "not a theologian," and, at times, has trouble remembering specific Scripture references or using typical "Christian" language. But after studying religions and writings from across the philosophical spectrum, the teachings of Jesus have helped him understand modern cultural addictions—and how to free ourselves from them—in much deeper ways.
One of these ways is, in his words, seeking "Christ consciousness"—a concept that Paul refers to as, and many Christians would call, achieving "the mind of Christ." Essentially, becoming more Christ-like ourselves.
"If Christ consciousness is not accessible to us, then what is the point of the story of Jesus, you know?" he asks rhetorically. "He's just a sort of a scriptural rock star, just an icon. Unless Christ is right here, right now, in your heart, in your consciousness, then what is Christ?"
To Brand, this is key to not only changing a person struggling with addictions, but also to recovering a culture. It must be a spiritual change; a change of values.
"I do think a spiritual and transcendent change is required for people to be free from addiction," he says. "And by spiritual change, I mean the transition from one's life being predicated on self-fulfillment to a life predicated on service, which for me is a moment-to-moment struggle."
Fifteen years ago, Brand embraced sobriety and started a journey to learn about why he sought relief through drugs, sex, alcohol and fame. Today, he sees a world that suffers from the same addictions on a cultural level.
And after exploring faith, the teachings of Jesus have led to a revelation: The Kingdom of God can be ushered in on Earth, but only if we free ourselves from all of the trappings that distract us from it—the same ones Jesus Himself warned us about.
For Brand, attempting to do that is what recovery is all about. It may seem like a difficult task, but perhaps his most profound revelation is that it is not something that should be attempted alone. A higher power is here to help.
When asked about taking the first step to recovery, Brand, a man who has thought about recovery every day for more than a decade, offers this advice for those wanting to get clean spiritually and physically: "Admit you have a problem. Believe it's possible to change, and ask Him for help. Invite Him in … Capital H's, of course."

"Intentional discharge of an aimed firearm" leads to rare criminal charges in Colorado death of hunter
Suspect Harry Watkins was "horrified" after fatally shooting his hunting buddy, Simon Howell, in Grand County. "It was reasonable to fire," Watkins' attorney says.
4:15 AM MST on Dec 4, 2020
Simon Howell, an experienced 26-year-old hunter from West Virginia, was shot and killed by a hunting companion on Nov. 9 in Grand County. (Via Facebook)
Harry Watkins and Simon Howell had hunted together for several years in densely timbered, steep terrain outside Kremmling.
Watkins, a 52-year-old from Pennsylvania, and Howell, a 26-year-old from West Virginia, were avid, experienced outdoorsmen. The annual Colorado elk hunt was a highlight of their season.
On Nov. 9, one of the hunters in their small party shot an elk. Howell and Watkins were among the hunters tracking the wounded, bleeding animal.
What happened next is unclear. Howell was shot and killed. Watkins has been charged with criminally negligent homicide in his friend's death.
Public records requests sent from The Colorado Sun to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the Grand County Sheriff's Office and the 14th District Attorney's Office were denied. So official details about the very rare hunting-related homicide charge are not available.
"The rules of hunting safety exist to keep this exact kind of tragedy from happening," reads a written statement from 14th District Attorney Matt Karzen, who filed the single felony charge against Watkins on Nov. 19. "Complacency and lack of discipline is all it takes for someone to be killed."
Watkins' attorney, David Jones, said the charge means his client acted unreasonably given the circumstances.
"We don't feel he acted unreasonably," said Jones, who described Watkins and Howell as friends and annual hunting buddies. "This was a truly unfortunate series of events. Based on everything he had in front of him, it was reasonable to fire."
Jones, who is still waiting for investigation information from Karzen's office, provided Watkins' perspective of the day.
The hunting party — which Jones said was "three or four" hunters — had radios and was working together to track the wounded elk. Watkins saw the animal through thick trees, Jones said.
"He saw the antlers. He saw the brown. He saw the animal was down in the woods," Jones said. "The problem was that his buddy had taken off his orange and was kneeling next to the downed animal. (Watkins) saw that the animal was about to get up and he fired. That's what caused his buddy's death."
Jones said Watkins is an experienced hunter and knew the terrain around Kremmling and hunted there annually, usually with Howell. He said Howell did not call on the radio to say he was approaching the animal.
"The communication that the elk was down was never called out on the radio and (Watkins) didn't know his buddy had found the elk," Jones said. "He's horrified. He's been horrified since it happened."
Karzen, who read a preview of this story in the Sun's Outsider newsletter, offered a response to Jones late Thursday.
"No reasonable person fires a rifle at something without being 100% certain what they are shooting at, even more so if you know other people are in the area," Karzen said. "It's a gun, not a toy."
Hunting deaths in Colorado involving firearms are uncommon and accidents resulting in serious criminal charges are even more rare. But they didn't used to be.
In the decade before Colorado required mandatory hunter education for all hunters in 1970, fatal hunting accidents reached more than 10 a year and the state counted more than 200 non-fatal accidents a year. Now all Colorado hunters born after 1949 must undergo both classroom and rifle-shooting education and more than 900,000 hunters have taken a hunter education course in the state. Since 2000, the state sees about 500,000 hunters a year and averages about one annual fatal hunting accident. (Colorado Parks and Wildlife counts hunting accidents as incidents involving a firearm or an arrow and not a medical issue.)
The last hunting death by gun in Colorado also was in Grand County.
Ernest Ackerley, a 43-year-old father of five from Centennial, was shot north of Granby on Nov. 5, 2018, by a long-time friend. The friend was loading his rifle in a trailhead parking lot when the gun discharged.
The investigation into the death of Acklerly involved an accidental discharge, "as opposed to a targeted, intentional discharge," said Leslie Hockaday with the 14th District Attorney's Office in an email.
The District Attorney's Office charged Ackerly's friend with hunting in a careless manner and prohibited use of weapon, "after close consultation" with the Ackerly family, Hockaday said. But the case was settled before a trial.
Ackerly's family, Hockaday said, "supported the charging decision and the negotiated resolution of that case, which although not dispositive, is important to the healing process."
Howell's death, DA Karzen said, involved the "intentional discharge of an aimed firearm, as opposed to an accidental discharge."
That is a "critical distinction" between the deaths of Howell and Ackerly, he added.
Howell, who had a sprawling family and equally large collection of friends he called brothers, had years of experience hunting and fishing. His obituary said "his finest days were spent deep in the woods with his family and friends" and noted that "at a very young age it was evident that Simon was a skilled marksman."
States closely guard the application details of hunters who apply for hunting licenses, and Colorado Parks and Wildlife declined to share where Watkins received the hunter education certificate required to hunt in Colorado.
Agency spokesman Randy Hampton said everyone in Howell's hunting party had received hunter education, but not in Colorado.
On Nov. 9 in the rugged terrain of the Gore Range, Watkins failed to follow the most basic directive in hunter education: "know your target."
Colorado Game Management Unit 27.
Karzen apologized for the lack of information publicly available about the shooting. He used a felony summons instead of an arrest warrant for Watkins, which means there is not an arrest affidavit supporting the charges against Watkins in the court file. Watkins is scheduled to appear in Grand County Court on Dec. 22.
"The stuff in our DA file we always hold while the case is pending," Karzen said, citing potential risks to his case by releasing information before a trial.

Judge Rules to Gag Transform Now defendants
MAGISTRATE SAYS DEFENDANTS MAY NOT TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH •
JUDGE SET STATUS CONFERENCE FOR APRIL 3 ||
28 March 2013 (Knoxville, TN) •
Federal Magistrate G. Clifford Shirley handed down a second set of recommendations on Wednesday, March 27, in response to motions by the prosecution and defense in the Transform Now Plowshares case. In the recommendations, Magistrate Shirley granted two defense requests in part:
• The government, having alleged that Greg Boertje-Obed, Megan Rice and Michael Walli harmed or intended to harm the national defense when the entered the Y12 Nuclear Weapons Complex on July 28, 2012 in an act of nonviolent civil resistance, must disclose how their action harmed the national defense.
• The defendants, since they are charged with intending to harm the national defense of the United States, must be allowed to testify as to their intent. They are not allowed to speak of their motive.
The two parts of the ruling favorable to the defendants relate to the most serious of the charges against them, the sabotage charge, which carries a penalty of up to 25 years in prison. For 83 year old Sister Megan Rice, that sentence would effectively be a life sentence.
Excepting the two partial rulings above, the magistrate denied almost all other motions and requests by the defense"he did require the government to turn over some records related to the security response on July 28″and granted every request by the prosecution.
The effect of Magistrate Shirley's recommendations, if upheld by the trial judge, will be to gag the defendants and deny them most of the possible defenses available to them. They are precluded from making an argument based on necessity; they are denied a justification defense; they are not to speak about international law or the obligations of citizens under the Nuremberg principles; they are not to speak of their religious faith or their good motive; they are not allowed to invoke the First Amendment to the Constitution.
Meanwhile, the case of the Transform Now Plowshares trio was reassigned to Federal District Judge Amul Thapar on March 15, 2013. Judge Thapar has scheduled a status conference with all parties for 9:30am on Wednesday, April 3, 2013 in Knoxville, TN. The continuing calendar for the case should become clear at that hearing; at this time it is not known if the trial will take place on May 7 as previously scheduled or not.

What does a criminal defense lawyer do?
Criminal defense attorneys provide help to those facing misdemeanor or felony criminal charges. The attorney will research the circumstances surrounding the charge and investigate the case on behalf of the client. This may involve talking to police, interviewing witnesses, determining a plea, and assessing possible sentences. With this information, the defense attorney can negotiate plea deals or navigate a court case on behalf of the client. In some cases, the attorney may get a case dismissed entirely, a reduction in bail or jail time, or probation or community service instead of prison.
How do I know if I need a criminal attorney?
Any criminal charge that could result in a prison sentence requires the help of a criminal defense lawyer. This applies to both misdemeanor and felony charges, including:
Specific types of fraud
Possession of certain types of drugs
What steps should I take after being charged with a crime?
The first thing to do after being charged with a crime is to contact a criminal defense attorney. It is best to hire a defense attorney as soon as possible after being released from arrest, and before an arraignment takes place. The attorney will explain charges in detail, and possible consequences, to help you decide whether a plea deal or a jury trial is the best option. Most attorneys offer free consultations to discuss the circumstances of a criminal case and how they're able to assist. Speaking with a number of defense attorneys before hiring one can increase the likelihood of finding the right fit, and getting the best defense possible.
What if I can't afford a criminal defense lawyer?
All Americans are afforded the right to hire an attorney to act as a defense in a legal case. However, not everyone can afford one. If an attorney isn't in a defendant's budget, and the defendant's income meets designated state or local thresholds, the court system will provide a public defender. This attorney usually works on cases pro bono or without any fees paid by the defendant. Many public defenders have a high caseload, which can limit the amount of time they are able to devote to each case. In most situations, hiring a dedicated criminal defense lawyer ensures the best outcome. This is particularly true in more serious felony cases that can result in a significant prison sentence without the involvement of a skilled, experienced defense attorney.
Why hire a criminal defense attorney?
Working with a criminal defense attorney is the best way to minimize the ramifications of committing or being accused of a crime. Criminal attorneys thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding a case to prove innocence or inspire reasonable doubt in a jury. Criminal defense lawyers also are better prepared to negotiate with the prosecutors. Due to the high cost and logistics involved with taking a case to trial, many prosecutors are willing to reduce sentences in exchange for avoiding a jury trial. An experienced criminal attorney understands what would be a reasonable deal for a specific criminal charge, and will negotiate it on behalf of the defendant.
Are legal fees for criminal defense tax deductible?
Whether legal fees from a criminal case can be deducted on a tax return depends on the circumstances. If criminal charges pertain to activities related to a trade or business, attorney fees can be deducted on a business tax return, as they are considered an expense associated with the normal course of business. However, personal legal fees cannot be deducted.

I recently posted about 5 radios for emergency preparedness. I own several of those radio's including the Midland ER102. The Midland ER102 Emergency Radio has a lot of bang for the buck and Midland has long been a big name in communications for years.
Purpose: The radio was designed to be used in an emergency or day to day listening. Along with the common AM/FM bands – there are 7 NOAA Weather Channels. I think this provides a good coverage if information is what you are looking for.
Construction: Constructed to be water-resistant, the plastic body appears to be of good quality typical for the price-range. Seems plenty durable enough however I am not prepared to do any form of drop test.
Method of Use: This radio works similar to any other radio. There are switches, buttons and knobs to access whatever it is you need to adjust and select. Relatively easy to set everything – some improvement could be had here.
First – there are 3 power settings: OFF, AC/Dynamo, and Alkaline. This is confusing to me and maybe that is just because I rode the short bus and was in 1st grade twice. When I first was messing around with the radio I thought that OFF meant totally off – do nothing with it. OFF is actually the ideal setting to use the hand crank to charge the included on-board batteries.
Second – when listening to the radio – whether AM or FM the tuning knob is a dream. It is very easy to roll up and down the dial to find what you want to listen to and then fine tune it in for best reception.
Next – switching to a weather station is easy. There are 7 positions to select from. In my area I could clearly hear 3 weather stations broadcasting. It is also very simple to place the radio in WEATHER ALERT mode in case of an emergency. This is an excellent mode to have the radio set – just sitting in silence ready to alert you in case of some type of impending situation.
Value: As of this writing the radio cost $39.99 on Amazon – with Free Shipping. After evaluating several on Amazon – I just could not find another radio that fit within my budget at the time and had the features this one did.
Summary: I recommend this radio if you are looking for a high quality method to receive communications. Great value.
For more information on the Midland ER102 radio click HERE.
I think you made a good purchase. Like you, I am really interested in finding a shortwave with the dynamo. The price you paid makes it a great deal for a survival radio barring an EMP scenario.
I wonder about the value of a weather channel. I have lived in tornado country and the weather report is pretty much useless. A storm can miss you by yards or miles and still be reported as a risk to you. But more importantly anyone who has been in a bad thunderstorm you don't need a radio to tell you. I'm just not sure what the weather channel can tell me that I wouldn't already know from the 6:00 news or looking out the window. I have a weather radio it sits right beside my bed. I think the last time I turned it on was in 1999. The only reason I haven't thrown it away is because it was a gift.
Hi Rourke, thanks for the review!
i like midland products. for shortwave try Tecsun PL380 . should be available on Ebay or Amazon . an am/fm SW radio with DSP for under $70!! DSP!!!
they make the radios for Eton and Grundig too.
cosidered by DXer's as the ultimate ultra light multi-band radio.
Nice review. Went on to Amazon and checked it out. I like that it has a clock and is water resistant along with all the other features. Did you have a chance to compare it to others (like the Kaito's), or is that what's next?
Might be next – I have not had any other in hand yet. Great radio.

Q: Comparing mysql result to current time in PHP $currentTime = date("h:i a");
Im storing time in my db like this...
$timeEnd = date("h:i a"); which outputs "07:15 pm".
I need to compare $expireTime to $currentTime.
$sql2 = "UPDATE id SET expired = '1' WHERE timeEnd <= '".$currentTime."' AND date = '".$currentDate."'";
This code works except it's not considering am/pm... what am I doing wrong?
EDIT:
So it seems one answer would be to insert a 24 hour format into the db, which makes sense... is there anyway to make this work though? unix timestamp? strototime in the query?

Q: Setting Accessory on cell in viewDidLoad I have two table view controllers, "root" and "detail". In my root view I have this cell which says "Status". I need to be able to change that. When I click it i am seguewayd to the detailed view which shows the statuses I can pick (static cells). When I click on a status, a checkmark is displayed. But this checkmark also needs to be displayed when a status is previously chosen. So the checkmark should be visible as soon as I am seguawayd in from the root view.
I am able to display a checkmark next to the status as soon as i click a cell. But when I want the checkmark to be displayed when i'm seguawayd, it doesn't show. This is the code im using

    cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
}

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

A: You need to store the user selection somewhere, and pass it into your controller (or access it in your controller depending on where it's saved and which object owns that information).
Currently, you don't save the user selection so you can't update the cell. Note also that you should be updating the selected cell in viewDidAppear:, not viewDidLoad, and that you should look at using tableView:willDisplayCell:forRowAtIndexPath: to properly deal with the table view being scrolled (and cells being replaced / reused).

Bruins Prepare for NAHL Draft
by mkeeley
As the Austin Bruins prepare for the 2016 NAHL Draft, things are a little different than last season for Kyle Grabowski and his staff. With a full year under his belt, and more than a dozen players eligible to return, it's quality over quantity for Grabowski this time around.
"We can be selective. What we're looking for is Junior hockey experience – especially on the blue line and then players that can contribute for us up front. We know we have a good group coming back and we're looking for guys that can go alongside them. Out of four picks we'll look for one really good veteran defenseman to bring in and then the rest will be up front."
The Bruins held pre-draft camp this past weekend at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center in St. Cloud, MN. Many attended, but few will be drafted. The Bruins have only four picks in this year's draft and with an already full protected list, there aren't many spots up for grabs. Still, Grabowski was pleased with what he saw.
"I thought it was a good camp," Grabowski said. "I was surprised with the skill level of some of the younger kids. We had some real young kids who I think are going to be really good hockey players and kids we can start to develop relationships and start the recruiting process with so that's exciting for me." He also added: "Getting to go to a beautiful facility like St. Cloud State and see their facility, see their locker room. It was a real professional setting so we were happy about the weekend."
The Bruins have the 11th overall selection in Tuesday's draft, and will pick in the 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th rounds. The two new member clubs – the Northeast Generals (North Attleboro, MA) and the Shreveport (Louisiana) Mudbugs will have the 1st and 2nd overall picks, respectively. When it comes to Kyle's drafting philosophy, the unique environment of Junior hockey is a big factor.
"You always draft the best available player but in Junior hockey you're talking about thousands of players," Grabowski said. "You can go in so many different directions. I think you have to look at what your needs are and what suits your hockey team."
The Bruins have added a new member to their hockey operations staff as well – naming Howie Borden as director of scouting, joining Grabowski, Keenan Kelly and Brad Clayton. Borden, an assistant coach at Bethel University, also worked with the Granite City Lumberjacks (NA3HL) as Associate Head Coach and Recruiting Coordinator. He has experience working in the NAHL, with the Alexandria Blizzard, where he spent three seasons as an Assistant Coach and Head Scout.
"We know Howie well," Grabowski said. "He's a good worker. He knows player pools. He's connected in good circles. He's got good contacts. He's another guy like Brad [Clayton] where he's going to help build our hockey team. We're looking at bringing some other scouts on in different areas too – Howie will oversee those people, to make Brad's life a little easier but we expect good things out of him."
The 2016 NAHL Draft begins at 1:00 PM CT on Tuesday, June 7th and can be followed at NAHLDraft.com and watched like on FASTHockey.com. The Bruins will hold their main tryout camp and prospects camp from July 6th-10th at Riverside Arena, for the first time.
