In the history of Adventism, there are several instances where self-supporting work led the way in opening up opportunities for the church to do its work.
In 1848 at the five Sabbath Conferences, early Seventh-day Adventists began to understand the truths that formed some of Adventism's core foundation. Those who gathered felt a deep burden and responsibility to spread the message to others. But they faced several major challenges. First, their numbers were few. How could a small group of people make a large impact; how could they make a significant impression on the hearts of those they were trying to reach? The task was large. The responsibility they felt was to preach the "Present Truth" – the fact that Christ was coming again for the second time, that the Seventh-day Sabbath was still binding, the fullness of understanding the message of the third angel in Revelation 14, Christ's ministry in the heavenly sanctuary, and the non-immortality of the soul. Their endeavor to teach others such necessary biblical truths was, indeed, a very large task. Not only were their numbers few and their task large; but the small group of believers had another significant challenge to deal with: they were poor and widely separated. They had very little means to sustain themselves and working together was challenging because they did not have the benefit of being close. All of the above combined to add, perhaps the biggest challenge of all: communication.
But the small band did not give up. They accomplished their tasks as best as they could. They did this in two key ways. First, they did it through spoken word as they personally went out conducting visitations. Secondly, when it was possible for them to do so, they preached.
Although those who eventually composed the early Seventh-day Adventist Church got by in accomplishing the burden of responsibility they felt in their souls, God had greater plans. The work may have been growing, but it needed to grow faster, still. The work needed to expand more and more. Thus began the publishing work. In a sense, the publishing work was the first self-supporting ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist Church even though it had not yet been established officially. Indeed, it was – at least to some degree – because of this self-supporting ministry that the church gained enough traction to officially organize. Ellen White received a vision on printing the Present Truth, given the assurance that it would be a success from the very beginning. It was a self-supporting ministry because James and Ellen White started it on their own and, most importantly, took responsibility for its work and success. It could be argued that outside of self-supporting ministry, the church would not have started or experience the strength that it enjoyed since its very inception.
The work continued to grow not just by the church, but also in the church. Like in the New Testament Church of Acts, not only were members being added to the church, its understanding of doctrine increased and new light was continually bestowed on the newly developing organization.
As early as 1848, health reform was given to the church regarding the dangers of tobacco and caffeine. Less than a decade later – in 1854, Ellen White received instruction regarding clean and unclean foods. Instead of eating foods deemed unclean by scripture, members were to partake of a simple and natural diet. By 1863, after the church had already been established as an organized body with the General Conference, sweeping health reform visions were given in regards to treatment of the sick and dietary practices and habits. Most of the 3,500 members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church began to make changes in their diet and lifestyle. It is important to note, that up to this time, the reforms were given primarily to impact the wellbeing of church members. Health reform was given for the sake of the church and not really as a way to evangelize.
It was not until the Christmas of 1865 that a vision was given to Ellen White regarding the establishment of health institutions. Ellen White wrote regarding this:
The health reform is a branch of the special work of God for the benefit of His people. I saw that in an institution established among us the greatest danger would be of its managers' departing from the spirit of the present truth and from that simplicity which should ever characterize the disciples of Christ. A warning was given me against lowering the standard of truth in any way in such an institution in order to help the feelings of unbelievers and thus secure their patronage. The great object of receiving unbelievers into the institution is to lead them to embrace the truth. If the standard be lowered, they will get the impression that the truth is of little importance, and they will go away in a state of mind harder to access than before. (Testimonies Vol. 1, p. 560)
According to White, "the great object of receiving unbelievers into the institution is to lead them to embrace the truth." With the growth of truth, came the growth of mission. No longer was the message of health reform suppose to primarily stay with the Adventist Church, it was supposed to be spread to unbelievers as well.
Eventually, as the work grew, the church's mission was clarified. Health work was to
(1) relief the infirmities of mankind,
(2) teach how to care for the body – prevention,
(3) assist public relations purposes – so that others would have a positive view of the church, and
(4) acquaint people with the third angel's message.
With a growing interest in health, once again, self-supporting work was as essential as it was with the printing work. Self-supporting workers were called. These individuals were among the best the church had to offer. They were to have good address, tact, keen foresight, and ability. They were considered missionaries. Missionaries were to introduce people to our publications – or scripture – in the homes and converse and pray with people. These self-supporting workers were to work hand in hand with the denominational employment by educating men and women in pastoral labor:
Missionaries are wanted everywhere. In all parts of the field canvassers should be selected, not from the floating element in society, not from among men and women who are good for nothing else and have made a success of nothing, but from among those who have good address, tact, keen foresight, and ability. Such are needed to make a success as colporteurs, canvassers, and agents. Men suited to this work undertake it, but some injudicious minister will flatter them that their gift should be employed in the desk instead of simply in the work of the colporteur. Thus this work is belittled. They are influenced to get a license to preach; and the very ones who might have been trained to make good missionaries to visit families at their homes and talk and pray with them are caught up to make poor ministers; and the field where so much labor is needed, and where so much good might be accomplished for the cause, is neglected. The efficient colporteur, as well as the minister, should have a sufficient remuneration for his services if his work is faithfully done. (Testimonies Vol. 4, p. 389-390)
Self-supporting work in canvassing and in health ministry was not for everyone. Regarding the work of self-supporting, missionary service, Ellen White said:
Everyone is not fitted for this work. Those of the best talent and ability, who will take hold of the work understandingly and systematically, and carry it forward with persevering energy, are the ones who should be selected. There should be a most thoroughly organized plan; and this should be faithfully carried out. Churches in every place should feel the deepest interest in the tract and missionary work. (Testimonies Vol. 4, p. 390)
Not only did self-supporting work grow in the ministry of the printed page, it also grew in the health work. With the health work expanding to the public, there was a call for health institutes to be assisted by vegetarian restaurants. These self-supporting workers were to advance health reform principles wherever there was an interest. They were called to manufacture good food for schools to impact that industry. Restaurants were to be a way of making vegetarianism more easily adopted and Adventists better known. Furthermore, these self-supporting industries were to help Adventist employment – especially for people who faced problems at work due to Sabbath observance.
In that great city the message of truth will be given with the power of God. The Lord calls for workmen. He calls upon those who have gained an experience in the cause to take up and carry forward in His fear the work to be done in New York and in other large cities of America. He calls also for means to be used in this work.
It was presented to me that we should not rest satisfied because we have a vegetarian restaurant in Brooklyn, but that others should be established in other sections of the city. The people living in one part of Greater New York do not know what is going on in other parts of that great city. Men and women who eat at the restaurants established in different places will become conscious of an improvement in health. Their confidence once gained, they will be more ready to accept God's special message of truth.
Wherever medical missionary work is carried on in our large cities, cooking schools should be held; and wherever a strong educational missionary work is in progress, a hygienic restaurant of some sort should be established, which shall give a practical illustration of the proper selection and the healthful preparation of foods.
When in Los Angeles I was instructed that not only in various sections of that city, but in San Diego and in other tourist resorts of Southern California, health restaurants and treatment rooms should be established. Our efforts in these lines should include the great seaside resorts. As the voice of John the Baptist was heard in the wilderness, "Prepare ye the way of the Lord," so must the voice of the Lord's messengers be heard in the great tourist and seaside resorts. (Testimonies Vol. 7, p. 56)
Indeed, self-supporting restaurants and the treatment rooms that were to be attached to them were supposed to be essential and necessary for the advancement of God's work. This was to be done so that people would be conscious of an improvement in health; so that confidence might be gained by the people in order to present God's special message of truth. Everywhere that the church had established medical institutions, self-supporting institutions were to be placed along their side for the practical purpose of evangelism.
The practices of self-supporting work are to be a practical addition to the work of the organized church. Self-supporting work is essentially the other hand of the body of Christ. Without the self-supporting ministry, it is not possible for the church of Christ to advance, to develop, and to grow.
Public Campus Ministry is the training ground for self-supporting workers. It is our graduates from these institutions that will serve as doctors and business professionals of the highest caliber — prime candidates for self-supporting workers.

3 men shot and killed in West Oakland triple homicide, days into the New Year
By KTVU R Staff
OAKLAND, Calif. (KTVU) - Oakland police are investigating a triple homicide shooting in West Oakland, just days into the New Year and less than 24 hours after city officials touted 2018's lowest murder numbers in nearly 20 years.
The shooting at 1000 Center St. happened around 9:05 p.m. Friday night near the Mandela Parkway. Three men were taken to the hospital, but died there.
Early Saturday, the men were not identified by name, but their ages and cities of residence were released: A 21-year-old from Vallejo and two others from Oakland, ages 29 and 31, according to police spokeswoman Felicia Aisthorpe.
There is no suspect information at this time, but a law enforcement source told KTVU there are possible gang ties to this shooting.
The crime scene spanned from 8th Street and Center to Mandela Parkway up to 11th Street and Mandela where a source told KTVU a vehicle crashed after gunshots were fired.
The vehicle has been abandoned. According to the source, witnesses said the driver fled the vehicle and was picked up by another.
On Thursday Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf and Oakland Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick held a news conference to say Oakland's 2018 homicide rate dropped to its lowest level — 68 — since 1999.
These are the city's second, third and fourth homicides of 2019.

Current location: Official records
Official files in the Written Records Section of the Australian War Memorial, Canberra, January 1945. C83714
Official records refer to records raised by government agencies. They are key primary sources for historical studies.
The two main repositories for Commonwealth official records relating to Australia at war are the Australian War Memorial in Canberra and the National Archives of Australia (principally the Canberra and Melbourne offices).
Organisation of official records
Collections of similar records which document the activities of a particular official, agency, organisation or person are grouped together in series. These often preserve the original recordkeeping arrangements of the creating organisation. In some cases this reflects a highly organised subject-based arrangement, while other series have a much more general grouping of records.
Each series held by the Memorial has a title and a series number prefixed with "AWM"; for example, Pre-Federation and Commonwealth records (AWM 1). Series are often referred to simply by their series number.
Series are divided into items (usually individual files) which are assigned a control symbol (usually the file number).
Official records at the Memorial
The Memorial holds official records created by the Australian armed forces and related agencies during wartime and peacekeeping operations, as well as the corporate records created by the Memorial itself. These records include operational and planning records from the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), the Australian Army and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), as well as the papers of the official historians.
The Memorial collects these records under the Australian War Memorial Act 1980 and manages them under the Archives Act 1983. The Archives Act also defines the conditions by which the Memorial provides public access to these records.
Official records do not generally include items created by an individual in a private capacity, such as private letters and diaries.
Finding official records
Official records held at the Memorial are listed and described on RecordSearch, the National Archives of Australia's collection database.

EmilyBooks
where Emily and books collide
Posts Tagged 'books of the year'
Emilybooks of the year
Looking back on the year, I see that I've developed a strange habit of reading in threes. There have been three Elizabeths, three lives, three children's books, three of all sorts of things. Strange indeed.
So here are my favourites of the books that I've read over the past year, clumped, conveniently, into threes.
3 Elizabeths
I began the year reading Elizabeth Bowen's intensely atmospheric wartime novel The Heat of the Day which set me up for a year of Elizabeths. Start as you mean to go on, I suppose. Well I went on to read Bowen's The House in Paris, an entrancing, bewitching novel, which made a whole afternoon disappear. Best of all, it was a year in which I was given a very special edition of Bowen's Court – EM Forster's copy no less.
I loved Elizabeth Taylor's Angel, a novel which every aspiring writer must read not just because it describes so brilliantly different moments of writing – the strange feverish stuffiness of writing non-stop, and the anti-climax of finishing, for instance – but because it will make you laugh hopelessly at yourself, at the sheer vanity of being a writer. We also had a splendid Walking Book Club discussing Taylor's poignant novel about getting old, Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont, for which we enjoyed the illustrious company of Clare Balding. You'll be able to listen to it on Radio 4's Ramblings in February… watch this space!
The third Elizabeth of the year was Elizabeth Jenkins. The Tortoise and the Hare had me in tears, and Harriet had me in a nightmare. Both are utterly compelling, hellish portrayals of marriage – the first is a heartbreaking portrayal of its death throes, and the second is about a situation so horrific, it's hard to believe that it was based on a true murder case.
3 houses
My novel, as those of you who read last week's post will know, is centred on a house and the stories that lie within it. As a result, I have grown quite addicted to books with houses at their centre. I've already mentioned Elizabeth Bowen – her Bowen's Court really is a great portrait of a house.
Rebecca is one of my all time favourite house novels. From that memorable first line, 'Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again,' the house threatens to overwhelm the new Mrs de Winter. The most memorable moments of the novel are firmly rooted in the house – when she comes down the stairs for the ball, looking like the ghost of Rebecca, or when Mrs Danvers nearly makes her throw herself out of Rebecca's old bedroom window. This was one of the books we discussed when I took the Walking Book Club to the splendid Port Eliot festival, not so far from Menabilly – the inspiration for du Maurier's Manderley. I've read this novel so many times now, and each time find it utterly gripping, thoroughly brilliant. Perhaps I should allow myself one du Maurier a year.
But my house of the year has to go to the 'convenient little house' in Hampstead, which is the focus of Vita Sackville West's All Passion Spent. Lady Slane's husband, a great statesman, has just died when we meet her. She defies her foul children, who want to parcel her off between them, and retires to a pretty Hampstead house that she last saw thirty years ago. This perfect, slim novel, a fictional counterpart to Woolf's A Room of One's Own, is beautifully written, and I especially enjoyed the way Sackville-West's love of gardening – as attested to by the magnificent gardens at Sissinghurst – periodically surfaces, when she can't resist arranging a few flowers here, or a ripened peach there.
The best non-fiction I've read this year has been about the lives of people. The strongest presence has been the poet, Edward Thomas. I read Matthew Hollis's biography of him, Now All Roads Lead To France – a fantastic book, which managed to turn his rather quiet life into a series of cliffhangers. There was also Robert Macfarlane's majestic The Old Ways, in which this literary lover of landscapes wrote about journeying on remarkable old paths, haunted by Edward Thomas who was a great walker as well as a great writer. And there was Nick Dear's powerful play at the Almeida. My favourite Edward Thomas moment of the year was walking with some friends around (the aptly named) Steep, where Thomas lived, and up Shoulder of Mutton hill. It was very special to feel we were walking in his footsteps. Towards the end, we sprawled across a leafy glade and read out some of his poems, accompanied only by birdsong, the wind in the trees, and our steady chomping of Percy Pigs.
I loved reading Penelope Fitzgerald's letters – a wonderful thick collection, which was a steady and inspiring companion for many months. And now I am reading West with the Night by Beryl Markham, who became my new heroine by about page five. She tells of her childhood in what was then British East Africa, a childhood which included such instances as hunting warthogs with local tribesmen and being mauled by a lion. She grew up to breed and train racehorses, and then became a freelance pilot. This is an extraordinary memoir, bristling with the spirit of adventure, full of the romance of a lost way of life, and somehow Markham has combined a great lyricism with edge-of-your-seat thrilling tension.
3 new novels
Deborah Levy's Swimming Home seemed to lodge in me like a shard of glass, painful, unforgettable and darkly beautiful. Susie Boyt's The Small Hours was a peculiar and powerful novel. It is about a strange, larger-than-life woman who decides to open a nursery school. It soon transpires that her own childhood has been difficult, to say the least. I suppose it's what you might expect from Freud's great-granddaughter. Emily Perkins' The Forrests follows a family over several decades. What really stood out about it was the quality of the writing, richly detailed, making every mundane moment sing like a poem.
3 children's books
Like everyone else I read The Hunger Games, and I loved it. It was alarmingly addictive – I have friends who began reading it one evening and had to take the next day off work, as they had to stay up all night to finish it. Cynics dismiss it as a horrid teen novel about children killing each other, but I found it thick with ideas – about CCTV, celebrity culture, society and more.
I reread The Wind in the Willows, which was truly joyful, and even inspired a walk along the Thames, for which we strove to bring all the ingredients in Ratty's notorious picnic:
coldtonguecoldhamcoldbeefpickledgherkinssaladfrenchrollscresssandwidges
pottedmeatgingerbeerlemonadesodawater
And I reread A Wizard of Earthsea, an exciting quest about the battle of good versus evil, and – interestingly – the importance of language.
3 of everything else
There were of course other brilliant Emilybooks of the year, which don't fit into these clumps of threes so neatly – Dorothy Whipple, Patti Smith, and it was certainly a year of Ali Smith, whose new book Artful – not quite a novel, not quite a collection of essays, is something entirely new and mind-poppingly impressive. It was a year of many great ladies, and, lest I forget, a few great men, (like the aforementioned Edward Thomas, Lewis Grassic Gibbon and L.P. Hartley). It has been a year of feeling terrifically happy that there are so many wonderful books to read.
Thank you for accompanying me through a wonderful year of reading. Now I have only to wish you a happy and book-filled Christmas and New Year. Emilybooks will be back in January.

Here, for your delectation, are my favourite books of the year. That is, books that I read over the past year, rather than books that were published over the past year. It must be strange and exhausting to read only the newest of books. I have to admit that I find those 'books of the year' lists that one reads in the newspapers at this time of year a bit dull. Lists are only really interesting when one understands the rationale behind the selections. So this is less of a listy-list (listless, ha!) and more of a chatty, discursive one.
Looking back, I suppose this year's reading has been dominated by old women. This was my year of Jane Gardam – first The Man in the Wooden Hat, then Old Filth, then (again) – to calm pre-wedding jangles – A Long Way from Verona. And to keep Jane Gardam company, there was also Diana Athill's Instead of a Letter and Elizabeth Taylor's Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont. All brilliant books. All written with elegance and subtlety and quite brilliant matter-of-fact wit. Some of these had a certain 'coming-of-age' element, which I inevitably find irresistible. For that very reason, other books of the year were Monica Dickens' sublime Mariana and Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle – both of which can happily be described as 'hot-water-bottle fiction', i.e. blissfully comforting and snug. They would probably make it on to my desert island books.
It's also been a year of reading rather a lot about houses, thanks to the novel I'm writing about a derelict house. Particularly good books, in which houses feature rather prominently, have been (as well as the already mentioned Mariana) Bowen's Court, Howards End, The Small Hanand Rebecca. Bowen's Court is written in such a unique voice, and is rather long, and I read it rather concentratedly (often in the bath) that by the end I felt like I'd made a new friend. It helped that Elizabeth Bowen had told me so much about her family and her own personal history during the course of her book. I long to read more by her and often think back to that very great voice booming through my head in the echoey bathroom and wish I could listen to it some more. I suspect I might revisit her in my Christmas reading.
Howards End was every bit as brilliant as I expected it to be. I really do think that Forster is one of the very best writers. Although that's a terribly unfashionable opinion to hold. And Rebecca. Well I suppose Rebecca, like Mariana, combined a house book with a coming-of-age story. Winning combination as far as I'm concerned. Someone famously said of it that it's the only book where the murderer gets away with it. That throws a rather alarming light on it.
The other classics that I've really adored this year have been Beware of Pity by Stefan Zweig and a newly-published collection of Edward Thomas's poetry. I'd been longing to read Beware of Pity ever since I read and loved Zweig's autobiography The World of Yesterday a year or so ago. Beware of Pity is intensely psychological, a bit like Crime and Punishment, and is written so breathlessly that there aren't even any proper chapter-breaks. It really is almost impossible to put down. Oddly enough, I read it soon after reading Crash by J.G. Ballard and tried to draw some comparisons between these two books about crippled people, but ended up just feeling bemused that the books could both revolve around the same thing but be so irreconcilably different. It was a joy to return to Adlestrop with Edward Thomas's Selected Poems. Nature poet extraordinaire. I should also like to add in here by first encounter with Gavin Maxwell in The Ring of Bright Water, which was the perfect thing to read in the Outer Hebrides – a funny, eccentric book about living with an otter in Scotland. Although the best bit isn't actually in Scotland, it's when he's trying to take his otter home on an aeroplane and the otter causes utter farcical delightful chaos.
But enough of all this old stuff, I have read some new things too. And actually some of them were quite cutting edge and very very good. They made me feel tinglingly excited about writing today. Ali Smith's There but for the is a delightful riff of a book, jumping from pun to pun to pun, all within bigger meta-puns. It's very clever but also very enjoyable. A playful love of language radiates from the book, which makes it hard to resist. Landfall by Helen Gordon was very good too, seeming to be quite a normal sort of book and then suddenly swerving into something quite extraordinary.
But – best of all – is A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan, which I've just finished reading. This book has been so ridiculously over-hyped that I almost felt I knew so much about it just from everyone going on and on about it that I couldn't quite be bothered to read it myself. But oh my god what an absolutely genius, brilliant book. It is written with such verve, so sharp, so funny – yet also quietly sad. It's a book which screams NEW YORK at you. It is New York. Essentially, Egan looks at a group of characters who work in the music industry. Each chapter takes one of the characters at a certain time (jumping back several decades hopping forward into the future and stopping off at moments in between) and captures various moments in their lives. I loved it and could go on about it for hours, but shall limit myself here to one particular aspect that I found to be fascinating and brilliantly-realised: the future. There are two chapters set in the future. The first one is written in power-point slides, as though, by then, this is how people communicate. Lawns are a dream of the past, as you have to have loads of carbon credits to get them now, and there is a strange alien solar plant which also harvests moonlight. The other chapter sees the very clever invention of 'pointers' – toddlers who 'point' at what they want on people's ubiquitous 'handsets' and thereby determine powerful trends. So, for instance, several bands have brought out songs to appeal to 'pointers', because the children literally 'point' at the handset to download it and the sales shoot through the roof. Having endured several nauseating conversations by yummy mummys in the bookshop about how 'Little Rupert and Milly' are so intuitive with their iPhones, this felt like an alarmingly plausible vision for the near-future. It is WEIRD how tiny children take to iPhones and iPads so easily and intuitively. How weird to think that this could be such a strong connection that it could essentially make them the ultimate consumer.
I shall end, appropriately, with Julian Barnes' A Sense of an Ending. I expect, as it won the Booker, you've probably read lots about it already. It is very clever, very addictive and it's likely that, as soon as you finish it (which will be soon after you start, as it is slim and so unputdownable), you will want to start again to try and figure it out. The cold, sparse way in which it's written didn't bother me as much as it might have done. Perhaps it was because it's a cold, detached sort of story so that style is perfect. It's a very good book. And a beautiful object too.
All in all, a brilliant year of reading. I wonder what next year holds in store.

"Meatless Mondays" has grown in popularity, as health and environmental advocates urge greater awareness of the impact meat consumption has on the human body, as well as the environment. People are increasingly aware of the connection between overall health and what we eat, and as such are demanding more sustainably sourced foods from our grocery supply chains. However, all that awareness and advocacy hasn't changed a key fact about how Americans eat — we still consume a lot of meat.
The average American eats more than 56 pounds of beef, almost 52 pounds of pork and nearly 110 pounds of poultry every year, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Our per capita total consumption of 218 pounds of meat and poultry is well above the average, according to OECD data.
Meanwhile, meat production is also increasing. Beef and veal production grew 4 percent in 2016, poultry edged up by 2 percent and pork production held steady, according to the USDA.
Clearly, Americans aren't ready to entirely give up eating meat. However, in addition to growing demand for meat, consumers are also calling for meat that's more environmentally friendly from farm to processing plant, and distribution center to grocery store shelves.
Product spends less time in transition or being processed and packaged in grocery store meat departments.
Less handling means reduced risk of contamination and damage.
Centralized prep and packaging in USDA-inspected facilities improves food safety and uniformity of product.
As demand for meat continues to increase and more grocery operations move toward case-ready packaging of meat, preserving and protecting meat products during the replenishment phases of the supply chain are becoming even more critical. Damaged case-ready packages cannot be salvaged, and failing to provide adequate protection during shipping will cause grocery operations to see an increase in shrink.
RPCs help control shrink effectively. Tosca's RPCs are the first reusable containers designed and built specifically for transporting case ready meat. The RPC's durable plastic construction provides superior structural integrity. That strength protects products while reducing damage and waste.
RPCs can also help grocery stores order exactly the amount of product you need. Rather than having to order large volumes of raw product that would then be processed and packaged in-store, case ready meats can be ordered in more efficient amounts. The multiple heights of Tosca's RPCs increase cube efficiencies and enhance your ability to right-size your product ordering.
Finally, using RPCs to transport case ready meat is in keeping with another important consumer trend — the demand for sustainability. Because they are reusable, RPCs significantly curtail packaging waste throughout every phase of the supply chain. Each RPC can be packed with 40–50 pounds of product per trip, shipped, stocked, washed and returned more than 100 times, making the equivalent of 30 cross-country journeys before the RPC gets recycled.

Two And A Half Men's controversial co-star Angus T. Jones, now 19, is returning to the set for the first time following his religious You Tube proclamation in late 2012, per Deadline.com. You may recall Jones' decrying his top-rates series as "filth" and his pleas to viewers to "stop watching." Against all odds, producers are giving the

Cozy raises $8.45 million to make renting easier
Steven Loeb · August 31, 2016 · Short URL: https://vator.tv/n/4702
The platform makes it easier for landlords to find good tenants, and for renters to pay online
Editor's note: Our 6th Annual Vator Splash LA conference is coming up on October 13 at the Loews Hotel in Santa Monica. Speakers include Mark Cuban (one of the hosts of Shark Tank and owner of the Dallas Mavericks); Brian Lee (Founder & CEO, Honest Company); Leura Fine (Founder & CEO, Laurel & Wolf ); Nick Green (Co-Founder and Co-CEO, Thrive Market); Tri Tran (CEO & Co-founder, Munchery); Adam Goldenberg (Founder & CEO, JustFab); Andre Haddad (CEO, Turo); Mike Jones (Founder, Science) and many more. Join us! REGISTER HERE.
Sometimes I think about moving, and then I realize two things: first, I got a really good deal, and I'd be foolish to give it up. More importantly, though, I have a really good relationship with my landlord, and that would likely not be the case if I moved.
The landlord-tenant relationship is a notoriously fractured one, with a lot of mistrust on both sides, but Cozy is a service whose stated goal is to transform it by making the process of finding, and then paying for, an apartment, smoother and less stressful.
The company has announced that it has raised an $8.45 million Series B round of funding, led by American Family Ventures, and along with all of its Series A investors participating, including Social Capital and General Catalyst.
Cozy has now raised a total of $18.37 million in venture funding.
Founded in March 2012, the Portland, Oregon-based company acts a service for landlords and tenants that aims to make it easier for landlords to find tenants, and easier for renters to pay their rent,
It provides property managers with the ability to put up property listings, rental applications, tenant screening, credit reports and background checks. For renters, it provides renter profiles, which can be shared with landlords, as well as a portal for paying monthly rent checks online.
Cozy is available in all 50 states plus Puerto Rico, and there are Cozy properties in thousands of cities around the country. The company has been seeing big growth in the last two years. In 2005 it grew over 900 percent, and has already tripled in 2016 so far. It even expects to be profitable in a few months.
In a blog post, Gino Zahnd, co-founder and CEO of Cozy, explained what the company will do with the money and where he wants to take the company.
"We have a clear roadmap, and we're opportunistic. We listen to our customers, and we react accordingly to what makes sense for the long term. For example, we've seen a natural expansion of our landlord/manager market. New customers are bringing larger numbers of units to the service," he said.
"As such, we're working with those larger customers with hundreds of units to introduce features that will continue to make their lives easier, and allow them to grow their businesses with Cozy."
One feature that Cozy will be introducing will allow renters to take the service with them if they move, and will help get new managers and landlords on the service if they aren't already.
The funding will also go toward expanding the 25 person team, with the company hiring in Product Management, Data Science, Design, and Engineering. Cozy also made a commitment to be diverse in its hiring practices.
"Since housing is universal, and the problems we're solving affect everyone, we know that if our team reflects diverse perspectives and experiences, our product and company will be stronger. It just makes good business sense," wrote Zahnd.

On Field And Off, Barwin Key For 'D'
Connor Barwin came to Philadelphia as a free agent after spending the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Houston Texans. A veteran of the 3-4 defense, he immediately took on a leadership role and has been integral in the scheme transition and the unit's overall ascent over the last seven games. Barwin, 6-foot-4, 264, is a phenomenal athlete and has numerous responsibilities within the defense, from rushing the passer to dropping back in coverage.
Not many players can do everything that Barwin is asked to do, let alone at such a high level, according to defensive coordinator Bill Davis.
"Connor does a great job of setting the edge for us," Davis said. "We ask a lot of him. He wears a lot of different hats for us, he's got a lot of different roles. He takes them on and really just does a great job of handling his job and doing it consistently."
Barwin makes a number of really smart, fundamentally sound plays each game, whether it is sticking with his man in coverage or squaring up the ball carrier and making a solo tackle in the open field. He has also been adept at jumping up and swatting down passes, an art which his former teammate, J.J. Watt has mastered. Barwin added another to that total against the Redskins and now has nine passes defended for the season.
"I have to work on catching those tipped passes because that one came right down in my hands and I wasn't expecting it," Barwin said. "It was a big emphasis where I came from (Houston), and then I think with my basketball background (he played at the University of Cincinnati), that has something to do with it."
Barwin has also been a key contributor as a pass rusher, generating pressure off the edge and getting to the quarterback. On Sunday, that pass rush ability resulted in a huge, momentum-shifting play that helped keep Robert Griffin III and company off the scoreboard in the first half. The Redskins offense had found a rhythm and moved the ball 75 yards down the field, from their own 20 to the Eagles' 5. It was second down, and Griffin III dropped back to pass. Barwin dipped around the edge and blew by the offensive tackle, Tyler Polumbus, before rocking Griffin III with a thunderous hit just as he was winding up to throw.
The ball popped into the air and right into the waiting arms of defensive tackle Fletcher Cox. Barwin's pressure off the edge on other occasions helped lead to multiple sacks by Trent Cole, as well, his fellow Cincinnati Bearcat, the first time Cole has done that in two years.
"It was good to get to the quarterback," Barwin said. "I was happy to see Trent get going a little bit, too."
The whole defense has seemed to take a cue from Barwin as it has come together. The technique and tackling have both been tremendous, and everyone is playing hard each snap. They feed off his energy and positivity.
"Barwin's a great guy and brings a lot of energy," Cole said. "He's key to our team and to our defense."
"He's great," said defensive end Vinny Curry. "He definitely brought a lot of different things to this team. He's a leader in so many different ways. He's all about team camaraderie. We all get together and do dinner every week, the front, the D-line, the inside linebacker and the outside linebackers. That's something he brought to the team and just look at us now, guys out there making plays, everybody's happy, everybody's jumping around. Compared to last year? It's fun to be a part of."
The defense has made incredible strides after a rough first month, and there is no question that Barwin has been at the forefront of the transformation. He is the Swiss Army Knife, the chameleon. In the Eagles 24-16 win over the Redskins on Saturday, Barwin showed off the breadth of his talents and demonstrated his value once again, finishing with six total tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and a pass defended.
"It feels good," Barwin said of the win. "Going into the bye week, I think it was huge for us to get a win at home. So we'll come back a little bit healthier and ready to make a run."

Whenever a hidden gem from the late J. Dilla's vault surfaces, Hip-Hop Heads always take notice to explore the buried treasure. The iconic producer's former collaborator and fellow Detroit, Michigan native Phat Kat has unveiled a surefire diamond-in-the-rough banger from 1996 that hasn't seen the light of day until now.
Phat Kat is slated to re-release the deluxe edition of his critically acclaimed 2007 album Carte Blanche via Below System Records (July 27). The LP consists of stellar production from Dilla, Black Milk, Young RJ, and Nick Speed, along with bonus tracks. The deluxe package includes the appropriately-titled "World Premiere" featuring one of the most industrial, raw beats from Dilla Heads may ever hear.
The track (which has been looming online for years ahead of formal release) is a relic of when James Yancey was an up-and-coming producer/MC known as "Jay Dee." As his profile grew from his work with artists such as Keith Murray, The Pharcyde, and De La Soul, Dilla also served as one-half of 1st Down. Phat Kat was his partner. The duo signed to New York-based independent (and recently re-launched) imprint Payday Records where they were label-mates with Showbiz & A.G., WC & The Maad Circle, and Jeru The Damaja. That label planned to release "World Premiere" on 1st Down's debut, however, the project remained shelved.
Over the dusty acoustic Jazz bassline and gritty MPC-snare kicks of "World Premiere," Phat Kat's towering vocals nod to early EPMD: "MCs out there / You better stand clear / That ni**a Phat coming with the world premiere." The moment emphatically lives up to the track's title. The beat also sounds a blueprint to Dilla's future work with A Tribe Called Quest's production trio The Ummah, Slum Village, Common, and The Roots in the late '90s and early 2000s.
Phat Kat further explained the significance of unearthing "World Premiere" over 20 years later, and the purpose for re-releasing Carte Blanche. "Fans old and new can expect to be reintroduced to some raw, authentic, classic Detroit Hip-Hop from beginning to end," says the MC also known as Ronnie Cash in a press statement. Plus, he claims that there are more unreleased track that will be unveiled soon.
Carte Blanche features a plethora of important Motown artists, including Elzhi, Guilty Simpson, T3, Fat Ray, House Shoes, and Melanie Rutherford. Former Aftermath songstress Truth Hurts also appears.

   <camelcxf:cxfEndpoint id="demo-target-cxf" address="http://localhost:9000/SourceExample/hello" serviceClass="com.sample.SourceExampleWSImpl" endpointName="SourceExamplePort" serviceName="SourceExampleService" />
   <camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/blueprint" id="fuse-demo-route-exmple-cxf">
      <route id="demo-target-cxf">
         <from uri="cxf:bean:demo-target-cxf" />
         <transform>
            <simple>${in.body}</simple>
         </transform>
         <log message="Message input: ${in.body}" />
         <removeHeaders pattern="CamelHttp*" />
      </route>
   </camelContext>
</blueprint>

Here is the Web Service implementation class:
@WebService

public class SourceExampleWSImpl {

@WebMethod
    public int getTotal(int x, int y) {
        return x+y;
    }

}

The bundle ic correctly deployed on JBoss Fuse. When invoking the Web service, only the first parameter is evaluated. So for example, invoking with arguments 1 and 4:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:sam="http://sample.com/">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <sam:getTotal>
         <arg0>1</arg0>
         <arg1>4</arg1>
      </sam:getTotal>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

returns:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <soap:Body>
      <ns2:getTotalResponse xmlns:ns2="http://sample.com/">
         <return>1</return>
      </ns2:getTotalResponse>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Any idea how to fix it ?
Thanks

A: Do you mean the expected output should be
1 + 4 = 5 because the following code should be called?
 public int getTotal(int x, int y) {
        return x+y;
    }

If so that does not happen, when you use camel-cxf as a bean then the bean only defines the contract, the code in the implementation is not in use.
If you just want a standard SOAP-WS and write java code that builds and process the SOAP requests/response then just use plain CXF.

Chyron PRIME VSAR 1.7 Release Simplifies Virtual Graphics Creation
By Phil Kurz published 6 January 22
The version leverages Unreal Engine 4.26 and increases the number of cameras per engine

MELVILLE, N.Y.—Chyron today released PRIME VSAR 1.7, which implements Unreal Engine 4.26, increases cameras per PRIME VSAR engine and adds new template-based tools to simply creating and managing broadcast-grade virtual sets.
The latest release makes it easier for designers to create compelling virtual graphics and puts power into the hands of producers and journalists to leverage assets across different channels and programs, the company said.
"Unreal Engine 4.26 brings some amazing new tools for designers, allowing them to make true-to-life animated character models and incredible natural environments with realistic lighting, atmosphere and water effects," said Mathieu Yerle, senior vice president of strategy and product at Chyron. "With Epic Games delivering these standout graphic features so consistently, we're able to focus our efforts on demystifying the Unreal VSAR workflow, turning it into something broadcasters can use to drive ROI in their everyday programming."
Version 1.7 also introduces a weather forecast template that is automatically controllable from a connected data source and a virtual screen template that can function as an easy-to-manage video wall within a virtual set, the company said.
"Not only do these tools streamline the creation process for designers, but all of these elements are directly editable and controllable by journalists and producers within any industry-standard NRCS via Chyron's CAMIO MOS-integration and template-management system. That's huge," said Dan MacDonald, senior product marketing manager at Chyron. "Now virtually the entire newsroom staff can take advantage of these incredible Unreal graphics and treat them just like they would any common news graphic, such as a lower third."
The PRIME VSAR engine itself is also receiving upgrades, now allowing two cameras to connect to a single system and thereby greatly reducing expenses in multi-camera deployments. Additionally, users can now dedicate an engine for real-time SDI previews of VSAR scenes for confidence monitoring of every take in their show, it said.
More information is available on the company's website.

Camp Doha ist ein ehemaliges Freihafengelände, nordwestlich an Kuwait angrenzend, direkt am Persischen Golf gelegen. Es umfasst eine Fläche von ca. 2 × 3 km. Es dient seit dem Zweiten Golfkrieg (1991) als zentrale logistische Basis der US-amerikanischen Streitkräfte im Bereich des Nahen Ostens.

Ab Anfang 2002 beherbergte Camp Doha den Stab und einige Kräfte der Combined Joint Task Force Consequence Management (CJTF CM), einem multinationaler Einsatzverband unter US-amerikanischem Kommando. Auch das zur CJTF CM gehörige deutsche ABC-Abwehrbataillon Kuwait war von Februar 2002 bis Juni 2003 in Camp Doha stationiert.

Während des Irak-Krieges im März/April 2003 diente Camp Doha dem zuständigen amerikanischen Regionalkommando (US Central Command/USCENTCOM) als logistische Drehscheibe und Quartier operativer Kommandozentralen (Joint Operation Center): Coalition Forces Land Component Command (CFLCC).

A Key to Treehouse Living
by Elliot Reed
Used Hardcover
A Key to Treehouse Living is the adventure of William Tyce, a boy without parents who grows up near a river in the rural Midwest. In a glossary-style list, he imparts his particular wisdom on subjects ranging from ASPHALT PATHS, BETA FISH, and MULLET to MORTAL BETRAYAL, NIHILISM, and REVELATION. His improbable quest — to create a reference volume specific to his existence — takes him on a journey down the river by raft (see MYSTICAL VISION, see NAVIGATING BIG RIVERS BY NIGHT). He seeks to discover how his mother died (see ABSENCE) and find reasons for his father's disappearance (see UNCERTAINTY, see VANITY). But as he goes about defining his changing world, all kinds of extraordinary and wonderful things happen to him.
Unlocking an earnest, clear-eyed way of thinking that might change your own, A Key to Treehouse Living is a story about keeping your own record straight and living life by a different code.
"Huckleberry Finn advanced out of antebellum doldrums into the poetic modern perverse, with the same charm. Subtle, daring, brilliant." Padgett Powell
"Crisp and lyrical, emotionally assured, delightfully inventive — Reed has made a marvelous debut." Kirkus
"Disorienting, weirdly wise, indescribably transparent, impossibly recognizable. Fun, too." Joy Williams
"Powered in part by longing and a need to make odd associations add up, this very appealing novel emplys jellybeans and gypsies, tree forts and rafts, and a character known as El Hondero to trace the odd conjuring that this narrator brings us in on. A memorable debut." Amy Hempel
Elliot Reed received his MFA from the University of Florida in Gainesville and is currently living in Spokane, Washington.
