Hola! My name is Kristen, or as I am known on the hill, "Kristina." Almost exactly 10 years ago, I arrived at Emmanuel for the very first time. I never would have imagined that all these years later, I would be here with the extreme privilege of representing this place to each of you.
I have been a part of Emmanuel in many different capacities over the years. First, as a visitor coming multiple times a year leading teams to the home; then, a child sponsor to multiple children that I had built a relationship with; and most recently as a member of the team at the children's home serving the kids directly as my family moved down to Juárez for 2 years. While there, I was an arts academy teacher, visitor coordinator, child sponsorship coordinator, and of course, one of many that loved on the kids day in and day out. Since moving back to Minnesota about a year ago, I have continued to lead teams on visits as well as run the child sponsorship program from afar.
In many ways, it's hard to remember much of my life before Emmanuel was a part of it. It has shaped me, molded me and played a big role in the woman that I am today. I know I am one of many where Emmanuel has held such an important piece of their story.
In the role that I currently play for Emmanuel as the child sponsorship coordinator, I have the unique privilege to be able to learn the stories of each one of the kids that call Emmanuel home. It is something that I do not take lightly, but view as an incredible gift to be let into something so raw and so personal.
It is hard to read and hear the stories of each one of our children about how they came to Emmanuel – each filled with its own level of trauma, struggle and pain. It's hard to read their story and translate it for sponsors without my eyes welling with tears, especially when I picture each child's face through each word. Sadness, anger and despair are often feelings that emerge, but I also always experience this feeling of relief and hope as I read the special words recorded of their story.
That pain, that struggle, that trauma, it might not be over, but I know that this child and their family – they aren't walking in it alone anymore. They have found Emmanuel. They have found a warm place to sleep, an excellent school to learn, a court to play in and be kids, 85 brothers and sisters, 3 home-cooked meals a day, a team of qualified people able to talk through everything they have experienced, an opportunity to try new things like art or dance, a loving adult who can provide 24/7 loving care and supervision – the basic necessities that maybe once were uncertain, have now become a daily guarantee. When will my next meal be? Will my mom be able to pay for school next year? When is mom coming home from work? Am I safe here? Who will care for my brothers and sisters? Does my future have any hope? These things that most of us take for granted for our own children, are no longer in question for these kids when they walk in the door at Emmanuel.
When I read their stories, I know deep down, with full-confidence, that God has stepped in. Through Emmanuel, God has met these families just where they are at, they are no longer alone, and they now have the opportunity to encounter and know the love of God in a tangible and life-altering way. What has been filled with darkness, all of a sudden has a glimmer of light.
When they step foot on the hill of Emmanuel, their story is about to take a beautiful turn.
And why am I so confident of this? Because I have seen it with my own eyes and felt it in my own heart.
Johnathan. Mia. Rogelio. Oscar. Gerardo. Mía. Itzayana. The list goes on and on of the children that have come and gone from Emmanuel, but as I've spent time with them and been a part of their story – they are not the same kids when they leave. They have learned to be kids again, they have grown in confidence and discovered more of their God-given talents, and they have walked away with a new identity as a child of God. Gerardo – he discovered his love of painting. When I visit him at home now with his family, his canvas creations are displayed all over his home and his painting supplies stocked and ready. No doubt, this gift will be seen by many someday. Rogelio – he found God in a real and moving way. His hardened, skeptical heart softened and he became a compassionate, curious follower of Jesus. Each child, changed in their own, unique way.
Leonel. Karla. Jahaira. Pablo. Just a few of the kids still at Emmanuel who I have the privilege of watching grow up. Leonel – once a shy, often sad boy, is now laughing and playing with all of his friends. He has opened up and built trust with adults at the home and is facing head on the things that are hard in his life. Karla – she's found her voice. She's found her place as she cares for the little ones in the home. She's become a beautiful young woman on the inside and out. A rock for her family as they struggle through cancer with their mom. Each child's story becoming more and more beautiful by the day.
Emmanuel is a light for these kids. Emmanuel is a light for these families. Emmanuel is a light in my own life. And I hope, through partnering with this ministry – you have felt this light too.
Emmanuel has been light for so many of us, now it's time we be light for them.
As we prepare for a new school year with the kids, would you consider giving to Emmanuel today? Now is a great time to give as we have received a MATCHING GRANTof $10,000. We need your help to reach this goal!
No gift is too small for God to use – $10, $100, $1000, $10,000. Give what you are able. Partner with us as a monthly donor. Become a child sponsor (see our enclosed note for more details on how to give towards this matching grant!). Click here for more information about the matching grant.
I have seen first-hand the transformation in a family from crisis to stability, the expression on a child's face when they finally get a chance to go to school each day, the healing a child finds in learning how loved they are by God, the community our employees have formed as they pour their heart into the kids, the joy a visitor receives from time spent with our children, and in my own heart as a partner in this ministry. It is one of the most beautiful things I have ever been a part of, and I would love for you to be a part of it too as we welcome the kids home for a new year!

I am so excited to share this fun powder room that I've been working on for my client who is at the end of a 5 month renovation / addition. I don't have any "Before" photos since this was a brand new bathroom that didn't exist before the renovation. But the "After" is still super exciting to me!
When I first started on this bathroom project I presented my client with two options - "fun" tile on the floor with more neutral walls. OR wallpaper on the wall with a more neutral tile on the floor. I had gone to the tile store and took photos of 3 examples of the tile that I had in mind and was thrilled when they went along with the fun tile idea. This tile has such pretty blues and pale greens in it so for the wall color I selected a very pale blue that perfectly compliments the blue in the tile. It is SUPER subtle and looks great against the white trim.
How cute is that light fixture over the mirror?! That was an etsy find! And I like how clean and modern the black and white selections look in the space.

So first we had the wallpaper removed (although I must admit I thought the wallpaper had a very Anthropologie type of vibe going for it). Then we had wainscotting installed and the walls were painted a gorgeous blue/grey to contrast with the White Dove wainscotting. Next were the light fixtures - I paired a black chandelier with black sconces. I LOVE them both!! We are doing upholstered chairs for the 2 heads of the table and then black wooden chairs for the sides of the table. There will be a beautiful natural oak table coming soon so that I can share more of the room and a full reveal soon!!

Pan African University 2018 Student Call Now Open: Join Africa's Leaders in Water and Energy
The Pan African University Institute for Water and Energy Sciences including Climate Change (PAUWES) (http://PAUWES.univ-tlemcen.dz) in Algeria contributes to promoting higher education and applied research in the fields of water, energy and climate change – a key contribution to sustainable development in Africa. The admissions process for its Master programs in water and energy (both engineering and policy tracks) starting in September 2018 is now open. All AU citizens (including diaspora) are encouraged to apply, particularly women and candidates from Southern, Central, and Northern Africa.
Building a prosperous and stable Africa calls for a new generation of African leaders capable of and committed to facing the vast challenges of the continent. These challenges include water scarcity, renewable energy, and climate change. The Pan African University (PAU) (https://PAU-AU.net), a key initiative of the African Union Commission, is dedicated to this mission. The Pan African University Institute for Water and Energy Sciences (PAUWES) is hosted by the University of Tlemcen in Algeria. Since its establishment in 2014, over 200 students from 31 countries across Africa have enrolled, and 73 students have been successfully graduated from its programs. "PAUWES is a prototype of the Africa of tomorrow, for which we are laying the foundations," said Moussa Faki Mahamat, Chairperson of the African Union Commission, during his official visit to PAUWES on 11 March 2018. PAUWES benefits from the support of the Algerian government and the German Development Cooperation.
Today, PAUWES offers four distinct two-year Master programs. Students striving to be future engineers have the choice between the Master of Science (MSc) in Water Engineering and the MSc in Energy Engineering. Students interested in policy-making and governance can choose between the MSc in Water Policy and Energy Policy. The language of instruction is English, and students have the opportunity to study French at the onset of the program. PAUWES students come from all over Africa, which creates a unique possibility to study in a multicultural environment of highly motivated and engaged peers.
PAUWES strives to balance theory and practice through international internships, case studies, and field trips. To provide the students with specific technical skills in their field of interest, PAUWES offers electives (e.g. solar, wind, geothermal and biomass energies, water and sanitation, integrated water resource management, policy analysis or leadership). Graduates benefit from career pathways in public administration, policy-making, research, private enterprise, consulting and civil society. Access to the Institute's international expert network, research partnerships, career-promotion programs and forthcoming entrepreneurship centre further boosts graduates' profiles.
Under the framework of the African Union's Agenda 2063, PAUWES places a special emphasis on recruiting and empowering female students. The Institute facilitates women-focused networking events and workshops. To further develop its vision of diversity, PAUWES also encourages applicants with disabilities and candidates from under-represented regions (Southern Africa, Central Africa, Northern Africa) to apply. All PAUWES students receive full scholarships (covering tuition and living expenses) following a competitive admission process.

Column: Thoughts on the New Democratic Coalition (esp Hispanics/Millennials)
Hispanics/Latino
"Monday Musings" is a new column looking at the 2016 elections published most Mondays. You can find previous editions here.
2016 Overview – Using our regular polling aggregator, Clinton leads this week 46/42. The race is clearly tightening, both across the country and in the 13 battleground states. This of course was to be suspected. Trump had been struggling for months to consolidate the Republican electorate, and is slowly, slowly doing so now. One should expect him to continue to do so until he is regularly polling at 45%. The question begs – can Clinton answer, regain some of the standing she's lost in recent weeks, and put the race away?
To do so Clinton is now functionally running against three candidates – Trump, Johnson and Stein. Simply, if Clinton performs well at the debates, spends her time, particularly in the 1st debate, making her case, laying out her plans, conveying her optimism and can do spirit, she should be able to pull voters who've wandered over to Johnson and Stein. But the campaign would be wise now to start kicking around ways to create more excitement about this race for Democratic voters – inspirational videos, more Michelle Obama and Cory Booker, things that provide a lift and resist the deeply negative environment that I worry is indirectly suppressing our voters. We need more "for" to complement the very well articulated with hundreds of millions of dollars of the "against." And count me in on the idea of having aging politicians lecturing voters why the vote for a Clinton alternative is "youthful" or a "waste" is itself a waste of time. Time now to focus on making our case. And as I wrote last week, we have a compelling case to make indeed.
On the new Democratic Coalition and turnout – In the last week we've seen a stream of stories about how Democratic voters are less enthusiastic about voting than Republicans, and emerging weaknesses with two of the pillars of the muscular new Democratic coalition, Hispanics and Millennials. Whether this is true or not is a bit hard to tell, but that is in some ways the point. Given how important this new electorate is to 2016 and the future of the Democratic Party, there shouldn't be any confusion about what is going on with these voters at this point in the election cycle.
A decade ago NDN was among a handful of organizations and researchers who pointed out that American politics was in the process of going through a huge demographic transformation, one driven by the explosion of two emergent groups, Hispanics and Millennials. Perhaps more than any other organization in American politics NDN focused on these two groups in particular, capped by the major magazine piece Pete Leyden and I penned for Mother Jones in 2007 (yes prior to Obama winning in 2008). In our piece, and in the hundreds of presentations we've done on the subject, we argued that these demographic changes represented a big "opportunity" for Democrats if their politics could adapt to the sensibilities and the far different media consumption habits of these new potential voters. We do not and have never believed demography was destiny. It was an opportunity to be seized, and never guaranteed (Bush showed us this in 2000 and 2004).
In the last few elections we've seen the opportunity this emerging electorate offers, and the perils for Democrats in not getting it right. In part by surfing this demographic wave, Barack Obama received 53 and 51 percent of the vote in his two elections, the best showing for Democrats in back to back elections since 1940 and 1944. But at the same time, during this same period of historic success, we had two disastrous midterm elections. In a series of essays (here and here) and a major poll we did in the spring of 2010, NDN warned that these new voters were far less committed to voting in mid-terms and that left unaddressed we could see a very bad election ahead. My own view since 2010 has been simple: as Tip O'Neill said, we cannot expect someone's vote unless we ask for it, and we just weren't asking for the votes of this new electorate with the money and strategic intent we were with the rest of the electorate. This was a bit of an "old dogs new tricks problem," and as Harry Reid says in today's Washington Post, it is also expensive (and I would add hard, complicated and requiring the reinvention of the traditional 20th century campaign model).
So heading into 2016 it was conventional wisdom that a great deal of the Democratic Party's success would ride on the ability to get this new Democratic Coalition (it is not Obama's coalition, and I will leave that for another day) to be actively engaged in the election. This was particularly important, for given the growth of both Hispanics and Millennials, the electorate this year was projected to be about 2 percentage points more favorable to the Democratic nominee. Getting this part right, holding all other things equal, would make success far more likely.
Which was why I became loudly opposed to the Democratic debate schedule when it was first announced last summer. It was in many ways it was the exact opposite of what was required by the Party to address this strategic opportunity/challenge. Nothing was built in to appeal to Millennials, the Hispanic/Spanish part was TBD, and the choice of old school broadcast networks on the weekends was seemingly designed to create as few impressions with all voters as possible. Given the success of the Party and its 26 debates and highly competitive primary in 2008, it was hard to justify a big change in the debate strategy; it was impossible to justify the schedule the DNC committed to last summer. Look at the results: the GOP's debates were seen by over 100m more people than the Democrats, an impression gap worth literally hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars. And we did nothing to address this core strategic challenge that we need to design and learn new ways to reach new audiences that are far more open to hearing from us than them.
The burden of re-inventing the 20th century broadcast model of American politics falls far more heavily on the Democrats, as our coalition is younger and has far more rapidly left the reach of a traditional 30 second spot. The DNC should have used these debates to have experimented with the model, bringing in new partners and models, showcased younger more diverse leaders, etc. Lots of things could have been tried, but instead we relied on media partners from the predigital age (incl PBS!!!!!!!!!!!) of media and few people watched. No Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, Snapchat, Twitch, Vice. Our clear message to this emerging electorate who remain episodic voters – our party is not speaking to you. It was one of the greatest mistakes by a major American political party in my lifetime.
Given the fear Democrats should have had about this new coalition not adequately showing up in 2016 literally everything the Party should have done these past two years should have been designed to engage these new audiences in new ways. And that's why reading these articles – Spanish language ads starting 10 days ago (In May in 2012, March in 2004), the Millennial effort beginning today, no clear evidence of major Hispanic strategy at the DSCC – you just have to sit back and say WTF guys. Given both the promise and very real challenges of engaging the new electorate the only justifiable strategy would have been to spend more money and to have created more impressions (asking for their vote) than ever before.There is no strategic logic for less, particularly when there are as many as 20 million more Millennials and 4m more Hispanics in the electorate than in 2012.
In my mind, the Democratic Party had one truly significant strategic challenge this cycle – to have ensured that we had a tested, true and funded national strategy to ensure this emerging electorate did not underperform again. Sitting where I sit today, it is clear that we are not there yet. Democrats are still likely to win this year but man is it long past time for there to be a big national conversation about how are going to finally once and for all become the party of the digital age and this new electorate that offers us so much promise and opportunity.
P.S. Simon wrote about these matters extensively in his 2014 post-election memo, "A Wake Up Call For Democrats".

"I am delighted to be participating in this momentous occasion. I think it's fitting to honor the Me Too movement as we close a historic year and set our intentions for 2018."
"With the new year comes new momentum to fuel this work and we won't stop anytime soon."
Burke has been an instrumental voice in the movement to end sexual harassment and assault. What began with a hashtag on social media has turned into a full blown movement.
Not only has it become one of the most powerful social activism hashtags, there have been marches and protests across the country speaking out against the complicit culture that allows for powerful men to continue to get away with harassing and assaulting both women and men. Alyssa Milano has been a vocal and avid supporter of the movement and is credited with helping the hashtag go viral earlier this year.
While most people would have just begun hearing about #MeToo and the associated movement, it began for Burke over 10 years ago.
"On one side, it's a bold declarative statement that 'I'm not ashamed' and 'I'm not alone.' On the other side, it's a statement from survivor to survivor that says 'I see you, I hear you, I understand you and I'm here for you or I get it,'" Burke told CNN in an interview.
For the countless people that have experienced sexual harassment and assault, Burke's concise hashtag has started a necessary and life changing dialogue. The symbolism of ending 2017 and starting 2018 by honouring this moment in history is a powerful statement.
Here's hoping this marks the start to a better and brighter new year.

Here's How to Visit the Texas State Fair on a Budget
You can have frugal fun at the fair. It just takes a little planning.

Strapped for cash? Don't worry, folks, you can go to the State Fair on the cheap.
This story originally appeared on KERA. Audio will be available shortly.
Thousands of Longhorns and Sooners are already streaming into town for Texas-OU weekend. The Red River Showdown kicks off at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning.
If you can't afford a ticket to the Cotton Bowl, clever folks at the State Fair of Texas can still have a lot of fun on the cheap.
Here's KERA's resident cheapskate, Courtney Collins.
There are few places on this earth that serve fried butter, showcase high-jumping border collies and feature a kid's show narrated by a talking buzzard.
Tomorrow, add in crazed football fans from the Universities of Texas and Oklahoma in town for their annual grudge match.
Sooner Megan McClellan says there's nothing like it: "It's crazy, it's hectic but it's so much fun to hang out with fans of both teams."
Crazy, hectic and… potentially expensive. Tickets to the game cost more than $100. For those who just want to tailgate and roam the fair, you still have to pay $15 to park. Adult admission? It's $18!
To save on parking: take the DART. Once you're inside the gates, there's a shocking amount of free.
It starts with the concerts and shows. If you're looking for a few good vibrations Sunday night, the Beach Boys are free. Same goes for the All-New Mattress Firm Illumination Sensation.
For the little ones, the Kids Boardwalk doesn't cost a thing. It has sandboxes, giant chessboards, face painting, temporary tattoos and crafts.
The charge for the fair's famous car show? Zip. The Big Texas music exhibit? Nada.
"Canstruction," a dramatic display of architecturally arranged canned goods, is built on a foundation of free.
Fair food's a little trickier, but there are some sneaky ways to snack on the cheap. Step one: Stay away from the fried stuff. The name of the game is samples.
At the Food and Fiber pavilion, you can get a lot more than pickles. A lap around the place yields apples, chips and salsa, candied almonds and a full-size vanilla ice cream cone.
Mitch Williams worked at the State Fair for 23 years and used to rely on this place for a midday pick-me-up. "Back in the 70s and 80s, when I used to work here, you could run through here and fill up on samples," he says. "You could actually make a lunch."
If you're free to fair-go during the week, you can save a lot of cash at the gate. Seniors get in free every Thursday. On Wednesdays, all it takes is four cans of food and four bucks.
Although Texas-OU weekend is State Fair prime time, folks on a tighter budget should wait until next week.
Remember, Big Tex himself doesn't care if you spend $200, or $10.

I wasn't convinced about the quality of this film before seeing it. A director without any credentials, and the lead-actor having only a few minor titles behind his name. Combine it with a genre that benefits from bigger budgets, which this movie obviously hasn't got, and you have a recipe for disaster. Strangely, this film turned out okay. Pretty okay, if I might say so. It's actually quite good. Why that's so, I'll explain after the jump.
The movie starts out with Andrew (Dane DeHaan) setting up his newly bought camera. This immediately makes it clear that this film is another one of those 'handycam'-movies, much like 'Cloverfield' and 'The Blair Witch Project'. Andrew isn't one of the popular kids. He's the gloomy misfit that everybody loves to ignore. He has no friend, and the only connection he has with the social world is through his understanding cousin Matt (Alex Russel). It's not that Andrew wanted to be a misfit, it's because of his mother's illness and his father blaming it all on him, abusing him in the process.
I'm not going to give too much away of the storyline, but the idea is: they get superpowers. The next hour is them finding out how to use their powers, while trying to act normal to outsiders. Andrew has the hardest time controlling his powers in public, trying to withhold from using them on the people who are still harassing them.
I was amazed how this film could do so much with so little. The 'Blair Witch Project'-type of storytelling really brings out the struggles Andrew has during his everyday life. The Director, Josh Trank, really delivered something which I didn't expect: a convincing story about the dark side of having superpowers and not being able to use them on your tormenters. This is the first feature film he's made, and it will be most certainly not the last. I don't know if there's a market for 'anti-hero' actors like Dane DeHaan, but if so, he could dominate it. His whole presence screams anti-hero.
I was pleasantly surprised by this film. I suggest you go see it, immediately. Torrents are up, but because of legal reasons I won't be posting any links to them. If you know how to use the internet properly, you know how to find them. Just do it. You won't be disappointed, I promise.
Post the .torrent's man.. Legal reasons Smeagol reasons when it comes to behavior 99% of the people participate in.

Dalmatia & The Stone
It is not just a case if there are so many beautiful little harbours and towns all around the Dalmatian coast and islands. Most of them are there from centuries, indestructible, thanks to the stone building culture. From the shepherd small huts, in the country where olives, fig trees and vineyards grow on a land liberated from stones, stacked in little walls, for years and centuries, by patient women hands, to the imposing roman's emperor Diocletian Palace, in Split, the former "Spalato".
Sutivan Village, Brac Island. Old Street
Typical Dry Stone Walls In Croatian Islands
The old town was built inside the palace's walls to be protected from barbaric invasions after the fall of the Roman Empire. And the result of that, today, is an amazing and unique mélange of different styles that cohabit perfectly well in the historical center of Split: roman columns, gothic windows, baroque balconies...And, in the back, small venetian medieval streets, very similar to the "salizada" around San Marco Place in Venice.
In fact, after the Roman Empire, a lot of invasions, the medieval Kingdom of Croatia, a struggle for Dalmatia that lasted centuries between Venice and the Kingdom of Hungary, the Dalmatian coast and the islands passed (until 1797) under the cultural influence and the power of the Republic of Venice.
Diocletian Palace, Split Center. Croatia
"La Serenissima" used the wood and the stone of Istria (north of Dalmatia) and Dalmatia to construct some of her splendid palaces along the Canal Grande. And, at the same time, in Dalmatia, little towns as Zadar (Zara), Trogir (Trau), Sibenik (Sebenico), Split (Spalato), Hvar (Lesina), Korcula (Kurzola) and even Dubrovnik (Ragusa) that was a rich and independent- paying for that, Venetians and Turks- little Republic, began to look like, in a much smaller edition, the magnificent Venice. With a very important advantage: the stone.
Dubrovnik Stradun, Croatia
It is said that even the White House, in Washington, was built of this beautiful white and solar materiel that inspired so many extraordinary sculptors as Ivan Mestrovic (see the Mestrovic Gallery in Split) that still has heirs in Croatia.
On the island of Brac where are the most important quarries of the precious stone, you can visit, in Pucisca, the Stone cutter School. This institution, created at the beginning of the 20th century, keeps alive an old craft tradition that assures, as the poet says, that "a thing of beauty is a joy for ever".

Valentine's Day- A Yay or Nay?
Valentines day is reffered to as a day of love, hearts and emotions. It gets Quite conteroversial at times too as per the history associated with it and a few people's logics. But i am a big V Day fan. And I beleive everyone should celebrate it.
The controversy and contradictions in this day is a bunch of people arguing everyday shall be a valentine's day there shouldnt be just one day for love. Let me ask you how many times in a month if not year have you told and made feel your better half or friends and family that?
They are the same people who say there shouldnt be just one day for Mothers or Fathers. Although we dont bother spending time with them busy in our collegez schools studies jobs friends. Well i am not an ideal daughter not even close so i wont judge you. But yes i dont mind taking out one day even just for the sake of it n spend it with my parents and tell them how much they mean to me.
So yup Valentine's Day, Mothers day Father's Day, No special day but i just "feel like a princess day" Every such day is a Yaaay Yaaay Yaaay 4 me . And it shall be for you too.
If your married spend it with your better half. Refresh your love. Its good to tell each other sometimes how much you mean. How much you care and how much the next matters to you.
If your single, well friends and family arent any less lovables are they? I miss celebrating valentine's Day with my friends back in school days and i still beleive those were one of the most memorable ones. Or Just make your parents hop in the Car with you and take them out Tell them how much you love them and that they will b your first Valentine Always.
Enjoy the Little things in life. Find reason to be happy. To spread love, to get love. To celebrate life with people who make everyday a special day.

"He would be more acceptable to LeBron, he would be much more useful and a better fit" - Skip Bayless believes LeBron James is being nice to former Lakers guard to recruit him
By Kevin McCormick
Modified 08 Nov 2022
Los Angeles Lakers vs. Golden State Warriors
For most of his career, LeBron James has had a lot of pull when it comes to front office decisions. As one of the greatest players to ever step foot on an NBA court, James has ensured organizations have done whatever they can to keep him happy.
After missing the playoffs last season, the Los Angeles Lakers are looking to get back in the hunt for a title. To do so, they will need to make the necessary upgrades. LeBron James has reportedly been hard at work trying to get a former teammate back in the purple and gold.
Two seasons ago, the Lakers signed veteran sixth man Dennis Schroder to a one-year deal. In that time, he averaged 15.4 points and 5.8 assists per game. Schroder was recently seen interacting with LeBron James on social media, leading to speculation of a potential reunion in LA.
FS1's Skip Bayless touched on Schroder potentially making his way back to the Lakers. He feels the veteran guard is a better fit alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis than Russell Westbrook.
"Right now, Dennis Schröder is better than Russell Westbrook. He would be more acceptable to LeBron and AD. He would be much more useful and a better fit for LeBron than Russ."
@undisputed
Dennis Schröder wants to run it back with LeBron and the Lakers:
"Right now, Dennis Schröder is better than Russell Westbrook. He would be more acceptable to LeBron and AD. He would be much useful and a better fit for LeBron than Russ." — @RealSkipBayless
Dennis Schröder wants to run it back with LeBron and the Lakers: "Right now, Dennis Schröder is better than Russell Westbrook. He would be more acceptable to LeBron and AD. He would be much useful and a better fit for LeBron than Russ." — @RealSkipBayless https://t.co/Jrln4gjpG0
Is Skip Bayless right about Dennis Schroder being a better fit alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis?
Given that he put up good numbers when playing for the Lakers, it's fair to assume Dennis Schroder could be an upgrade on Westbrook. However, to say he's a much better fit next to LeBron James and Anthony Davis is a bit of a stretch.

Dennis Schroder's clutch bucket forces OT 🚨(via @Lakers) https://t.co/5i6PFtLpl2
When the Lakers won the title in the NBA bubble, they did it with a simple blueprint. They surrounded their star duo with defense and shooting.
Schroder is a 33.8% shooter from beyond the arc. The only way Schroder is a better fit than Russell Westbrook is from a role perspective. While in LA, he knew that James and Anthony Davis were the focal points, and learned to play off them. Russell Westbrook struggled to do the same.
If Jamesw is trying to play nice with Schroder, it's simply because the free agent market has dried up. With minimal options to choose from at this point, he is opting for a player that he is already familiar with.

LAGUNA BEACH, CA--(Marketwire - August 12, 2008) - Propelled to international acclaim by his legendary US Open bout with Tiger Woods, five-time PGA tour winner Rocco Mediate has endorsed the award-winning TrueSwing golf training aid.
Geared to fixing slices or hooks, the TrueSwing system acts as a visual aid that helps the golfer strike the ball squarely, resulting in straighter, farther shots.
Popular with amateur and professional golfers around the world, and frequently used by golf teaching professionals, the TrueSwing system was endorsed by Mediate for its effectiveness and simplicity.
"TrueSwing is an excellent training aid for any skill level," says Mediate. "It's simple, it's fun and it's guaranteed to improve your game."
As any golfer knows, having a square club face is one of the most important keys to swing accuracy. TrueSwing easily attaches to any club in the golf bag and acts as a visual aid to help golfers square their club face to the ball at impact. The product works for any swing style and both right or left handed golfers.
"TrueSwing has improved the swings of thousands of golfers," says GolfSwing Products CEO S.K. Tejpaul, "and we are thrilled to have a vote of confidence from one of golf's great players, Rocco Mediate."

Q: mysql select distinct - show value and totals I have an issue as I am still very new to mysql, so here is what I am trying to do. I have a table which contains user1 user2 and a number
Example:
user1 user2 1
user5 user17 1
user44 user33 12
user1 user5 1
user1 user24 1
user5 user666 1

What I am trying to do is listing the first user field first and then then the amount of user2 values sorted by that amount.
For the example above, I would like the results to look like:
user1 3
user5 2
user44 1

Reason being that user1 is in the user1 field three times, user 5 two times and user 44 one time. It's basically a referral system I have coded and now I would like to show who referred most users to my site. user1 is the referrer and user2 the referred.
I would also like to list a maximum amount of 10 rows as in LIMIT 10
Any suggestions how I would do this query and output it with php? I know how to do the connection part to mysql - I just don't know how exactly to echo this the way I want to.
Thank you for your help in this matter :)

A: It sounds like you want this:
select user1, count(*) Total
from yourtable
group by user1
order by total desc
limit 0, 10

See SQL Fiddle with Demo
Note: your column names were not clear from your description

A: Here is the solution for your problem.
select user1, count(*) as Total
from tablename
group by user1
limit 10;

A: Can you try it please ?
SELECT username,count(username)
FROM yourtablename
Group By username
Order by 2 desc

Jake and Amanda sat at the top of Barley Hill at the very end of Noosum Street.
He looked down over the edge of Barley Hill. Noosum Street was a one way street that ran from the railroad tracks on the far end of town through the nicer houses of Barley Hill Developments and all the way to the highway. In the morning it was the road that took all the parents away from Noosum Street and out to the city to work and at five o'clock it brought them all back. Beyond it lay a field of wheat as far as the eye could see.
Every day when the parents headed to the highway, they had to crest Barley Hill. Most of Jake's hometown was flat as a pancake, but Barley Hill sat in the middle of everything like the biggest anthill all covered in little white houses. It stood out for miles; Jake often stared at it from his seat in his classroom across town. Most kids didn't bother climbing the hill unless it was the Fourth of July or New Years, when they wanted the best view of the fireworks. But Amanda lived at the top of Barley Hill, the last house before the plunge down the far side, and so Jake walked the hill all the time. Amanda, after all, was his best friend. Even if she was a girl.
They sat under a wild tree across the street from her house. Jake could still feel the sweat down his back from the long walk up. They had Capris Sun pouches and apples and granola bars. Jake had dragged his wagon all the way up the hill to show to Amanda. He had told her about racing it against the Murphy boys over on Harrow Drive and her eyes had lit up. Jake had dragged the wagon all the way up the hill just to see her eyes sparkle like that again. Now he wasn't so sure it was a good idea.
"Your dad's car wins," Amanda retorted.
Jake stopped with the juice pouch halfway to his mouth. His mouth went dry and his eyes burned.
She leaned closer and Jake suddenly thought she looked cat-like too, and a little mean, and maybe a little crazy. Jake had a limited understanding at seven of crazy, he knew, but his dad talked a lot about crazy women. His dad complained about them a lot when he came back from nights when Mrs. Lipnicky would babysit. They'd watch Avatar: The Last Airbender or Thundercats and when his dad came home, he'd mutter about crazy women and promise Jake that he'd feel the same way when he got older. Now Jake wondered if he'd need to wait that long.
Jake did. He wanted to time travel very much. He eyed the red wagon and the letters painted on the side that lovingly spelled his name, then looked down the hill again. He thought about how sure Amanda sounded and his dad's muttering. His dad muttered a lot these days, about crazy women and about something called the mortgage and how the shocks on the car couldn't take the trip down Barley Hill. He muttered instead of talking to Jake most of the time. The muttering had started after the Fourth of July last year, after the highway accident. Jake knew where the accident had happened. If he went to the bottom of the hill and turned right, he could walk to where they'd found his mom's car, all crumpled around a telephone pole beside the waves of gold wheat.
Below, the highway shimmered in the afternoon heat. No cars had passed since he'd arrived.
"There's no such thing as time travel," he repeated. But when he looked at Amanda, she looked back solemn and serious.
"If there isn't," she said, "it'll still be fun." And her eyes sparkled.
Jake finished his juice pouch, stood, and took up the handle of his wagon. He wondered how many pieces he might end up in if he crashed, and how if wheat was as soft as it looked. But mostly, he wondered how fast one had to go down Barley Hill to get back to the Fourth of July.
I really liked the original take you took on the challenge, because I'm pretty sure we've all had conversations like this when we were kids. Nicely done!

First of all, I want to say sorry for this review being so late. I've been sick the past week and am just now getting over it. In the future I am going to try and get reviews out the same day as the comic releases. Anyway, I just wanted to apologize for that. Now let's get onto the review.
This issue picks up right where the last issue left off and deals with Peter Parker's relationship with Anna Maria Marconi. In fact I have to admit the first few pages of this comic had me legitimately surprised. I wasn't expecting Peter to problem the way he did. I was rather shocked when Peter not only openly admitted he was Spider-Man, but explained the entire situation regarding the body-swap with Doc. Ock. I'll have to admit Anna's open acceptance of the situation stuck me as a bit strange, but I guess this is the kind of thing that you sort of get used to living in the Marvel-verse.
On the topic of Peter and Anna I am really enjoying their interaction so far. They both seem to realize that they are in a difficult and strange situation and are trying to make the best of it. It was also amusing to see Anna come to Peter's rescue at Parker Industries since seems to be the only one there who knows what the company even does. Though Peter does seem to at least be trying to come up with some kind of plan. Overall the story clips along at a fairly brisk pace and despite having a lot to cover, including a short Avenger's cameo, nothing feels rushed and it feels like every panel has a reason for being here.
For those looking for a bit more action after last issue's slow start I'm happy to say this issue has a really fun fight with Electro. As mentioned before I'm not a huge fan of Ramos's artwork, but due to its over-stylized look, but I do think it is at his best when he is working on action scenes and I think the fight with Electro was really well illustrated. I really got a sense of both character's power and speed. Plus, it was nice to see Peter Parker fight again because he really does have a very different combat style than Doc Ock. Doc Ock always seemed to have some sort of contingency plan, almost like if Bruce Wayne became Spider-Man, whereas Peter is much more of improvisational fighter.
My biggest complaint with this issue is that it was a fairly quick read. I managed to go through it in about 10 minutes or so and that can make the $3.99 price tag seem a bit of high, but overall this was a good issue and I recommend it.


Redundancies in an organisation can occur for a number of reasons: a particular job is no longer required due to company downsizing, organisational restructuring, relocation or financial problems that require cutbacks to improve efficiency or balance the figures. Whatever the reason, it is a difficult situation and needs to be managed sensitively and correctly.
Managing redundancy can be an important part of a management role when the occasion arises and failure to handle it properly can result in conflict, poor morale – even legal action. Redundancy is often a costly process on many levels for an organisation but the impact can be minimised if it is dealt with in a structured and professional way.
This online course is intended to provide students with the information on how redundancies should be managed and covers; what constitutes redundancy, the legal requirements and the procedures that you need to follow to ensure the process is fair and legal, disrupting the organisation and staff as little as possible.
At the end of the How to Manage Redundancy course you should be familiar with: the legal framework, the process and the benefits of a structured approach, fair criteria for selection, consultation procedures, ways of preventing or minimising redundancy, payment and appeal entitlement.
The course should normally take 1-2 hours to complete.

Q: How to make a snake that makes better progress? I have the following main code loop that controls a random snake.  A significant portion of the time, the snake is curled up in a little block as might be expected of a random walk.  It's even worse in the corners and it looks bad.  I'd it like to be more decisive and make progress across the screen until it hits a boundary.
How can I get the snake to go in a straighter line?  I think that it's something to do with weighting the random number generator, but I'm not sure of the algorithm as it would have to weight in different directions at different times.
I'm not looking for a self avoiding random walk though as they block very quickly when in 2D.
void loop() {
do {
  switch (random(0, 4)) {  // Pick 1 of 4 directions
  case 0:
    delta_x  = 0;
    delta_y  = 1;
    break;
  case 1:
    delta_x  = 1;
    delta_y  = 0;
    break;
  case 2:
    delta_x  = 0;
    delta_y  = -1;
    break;
  case 3:
    delta_x  = -1;
    delta_y  = 0;
    break;

Tim Wadsworth: How did Jesus tell us (believers) to pray for the lost?
How did Jesus tell us (believers) to pray for the lost?
There was a time where I would have been confused by this question. There was a time when that question would have even puzzled me. I mean the simple answer is: "Pray for them?" (said with a bit of reservation and questioning). Aren't we supposed to pray for lost people? I know God does the work of salvation but doesn't He respond to our requests when we ask him for the salvation of friends and families? Sometimes that takes a long time, but our prayers work that way...don't they?
Let me start by saying that praying for lost people is fine, and I even think that we should. But I struggle to think of anywhere in Scripture where any person prayed for the salvation of anyone else. Now I won't make an argument from silence, but let's see what the Bible does say. Jesus said, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." (Matt 9.37-38) Wow. That's solid. Shocking. Simple. Clearcut. So what are we to do? This isn't complicated. The answer is this: pray to God and ask Him to send out workers. Ask Him to send out believers who will share the Gospel. Now Jesus doesn't say "Do not pray for lost people" but don't miss the importance in what He does say. I think there are two major things we should take away from these two verses. First, success in witnessing means doing it God way. So if we really want to see lost people getting saved, why are we not praying the way Jesus told us to? If we really want to see lost people around us turning to Christ, ask God to send people to them that will faithfully and fully share the story of what Jesus has done. Then we will be praying the way Jesus told us to, and I believe we will see God responding by actually sending workers out. In fact, we might find that we are the ones who are sent out.
Second, I think we need to understand just what is on the line. We find within this passage a principle that Paul understood as foundational to his own personal boldness and success in witnessing. (Success in witnessing = sharing the Gospel, not someone getting saved. That's God's work not ours) Here is the principle: Our success in witnessing is directly supported by the prayers of other Christians. And this hits home when we feel the burden of praying for others. When we fail - yes fail - to pray for our Christian brothers, sisters, family, and friends to specifically be filled we the Spirit and for God to give them boldness to share, even to send them out into the harvest field (the world), how can they possibly have success. If we fail to pray, they must fail to share. See, I live at this place where I want to share with lost people. I desperately want to have those conversations with close friends who do not know Jesus. And I feel like if I can just man-up, or just will myself hard enough then I'll be able to share with them. Now I do think that witnessing is a discipline that I have never found to be easy. Actually I think it's always hard and will always be hard. I constantly find myself speaking rapidly in these spiritual conversations because I'm nervous and unsettled. Witnessing is hard. But just because it's hard doesn't mean we have to push even harder. We just need to do it right. And doing it right means starting from the right place. And where is the right place - in prayer. I already wrote that Paul understood this. Look at Ephesians 6.19-20 - "Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should." This is such a phenomenal passage and has been life changing for me. I love where it falls in Scripture, right after "The Armor of God" because it's like a hidden jewel that has gotten lost underneath a high profile passage of Scripture. People miss it because they just think it's the closing of this section and Paul is just saying goodbye. But Paul shows us something critical. As we put on our armor, let's not forget about the others who are in battle with us. Paul begs the Ephesians in these two verses to pray for him. And what does he specifically ask them to pray for? "That words may be given me" Paul understood that he needed to be given the words. He needed God to grant them to him. If that happened, then and only then, could he "fearlessly make known the gospel." And verse 20 is awesome. Paul knew he should do this. But he also recognized that it wasn't something he was capable of. He needed God to do this. Now Paul had God. He was a believer and clearly had a relationship. He was indwelt by the Holy Spirit as believer are. But here is something different. This seems to me to be a daily kind of work. Every day, Paul needed a direct touch from God to succeed. to dominate. If he was going to share the Gospel with boldness, as he should, then Paul had to be given the words. And this happened as Christians prayed for him. Things are not different for us.
We are failing our Christian brothers and sisters if we are not praying for God to send them out and to give them the words to say and to grant them boldness to share.
One more passage and I'm done. Acts 4.29-31 - "'Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.' After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly." The principle is at work again. Peter and John had just been released from arrest for preaching the Gospel. They returned to their community of believers and prayed. And the interesting thing thing is that in their whole prayer they never once pray for safety. They do not pray that the ones who arrested them would be taken away. They ask for two things. First, they ask God to enable them to speak His word with boldness, and second, they ask for God to do miraculous signs and wonders. They pray for each other. And then I love the last verse. God grants their request. "They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly." Oh yea, and God moved so much among them that the actual building where they were praying was shaken!
So to answer our question, "How did Jesus tell us to pray for the lost?" We are to pray for the workers. Pray for God to send believes with His word and with His boldness. Prayer is the foundation of effective witnessing. We have no hope of effective witnessing without it. And we fail each other when we don't pray.

Q: Is it possible to switch uitableviewgrouped and uitableviewplain with uisegmentedcontroller? I am developing an iphone app in which i have a segmented control that has details related to something like a book .
I want to show books menu tapping on books segment with uitableviewplain style .
but now I want another segment which should show the book vendor details with uitableviewgrouped .
how can i manage both these views with the segmented controller and mange the data source and delegate methods.

A: It seems that the simplest way to do that is to create two UITableViews for each purpose and show/hide them according to segmented control value.
   In delegate and data source methods just check what tableview are you using, like:
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section{
    if (tableView == plainView){

   }
    if (tableView == groupView){
   }
 }


resmed Singapore equipment help the patients to fight fatal diseases like breathing disorders in sleep and other medical conditions. Such equipment are of state-of-the-art level just like the progress in medical sciences. Several websites could be found on which these devices are available. However, hospitals directly contact the manufacturers and get the supply of equipment.
In case of any kind of breathing disorder during sleep, one should immediately consult doctor. On the basis of doctor's appointment, a visit can be paid and prescriptions could be taken. If the doctor would find it necessary, then he/she would recommend an equipment-based treatment.

P.M. Dawn is een Amerikaans hiphop/R&B duo, gevormd in 1988 door de broers Attrell Cordes (ook wel Prince Be, soms als Prince Be the Nocturnal) en Jarrett Cordes (ook wel DJ Minutemix of J.C. the Eternal) in Jersey City, New Jersey. In Nederland had de groep een top 10-hit (plaats 6) in de Nederlandse Top 40 met Set Adrift on Memory Bliss in 1991, met een sample van de Spandau Ballet hit True, andere kleine hits waren Looking Through Patient Eyes, I'd Die Without you en Faith in you.

De vader van de broers overleed aan longontsteking toen ze nog kinderen waren. Een ander familie-ongeval deed zich voor toen de jongste broer Duncan op tweejarige leeftijd verdronk. De broers werden opgevoed door hun moeder en stiefvader George Brown, grondlegger van de discoband Kool & The Gang.

In de eerste helft van 2005 werd Prince Be getroffen door een beroerte, die een deel van zijn lichaam verlamde. Hij wist op tijd te herstellen om deel te nemen aan een tv-optreden. Maar kort daarna besloot zijn broer Jarrett de groep te verlaten om een solocarrière op te bouwen. De leemte werd kort daarna opgevuld met Docter Giggles alias 'The Doc of the Dawn' of 'Blissboy', een neef van de gebroeders Cordes vaders kant. Op 12 februari 2009 werd Prince Be opnieuw getroffen door een beroerte: dit keer was zijn been zo verlamd geraakt, dat het in december 2009 geamputeerd werd. Op 17 juni 2016 overleed hij op 46-jarige leeftijd.

Bronx Personal Injury & Real Estate Blog
Q: Does the Metropolitan Transportation Authority ("MTA) have secret mobile crash clean-up crews?
A New York City personal injury attorney convincingly argued to a jury that there was a "conspiracy to hide or skew the evidence" in the post-accident investigation of an MTA bus accident that caused "disabling injuries" to a passenger.
The theory presented was like something right off the silver screen. "The MTA has mobile crash squads around the city that swoop down on the scenes of bus collisions and orchestrate cover ups" according to the plaintiff's allegations.
A picture was painted for the jury of a practice wherein "armies" of MTA investigators routinely rush to the scenes of bus accidents--often arriving faster than the ambulances even get there-- to gather witness statements, photographic evidence and more. The MTA evidence is then allegedly hidden or skewed to benefit the MTA's position.
In the case at hand, the injured victim claimed the bus driver "sped up and ran a red light, then smashed into a car and hit the brakes" after careening across two southbound lanes, while the bus driver claimed the light was green and the bus remained in the northbound lanes.
Curiously, despite 10 MTA responders at the scene of the bus and car accident, the following questionable lapses or omissions in the MTA's collectively submitted work product from the accident were noted:
no photos showing where the bus stopped after the crash
no bus passenger statements produced other than the one plaintiff's even though all or most of the 14 bus passengers had reportedly given statements
no speed and braking record information for the bus, even though it was allegedly downloaded on a "black-box" type of device, was produced.
In order to prevail in a personal injury action, a victim must prove that their injuries were a result of the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another person or entity. After liability has been proven, compensatory damages may be awarded for medical expenses, anticipated future medical or rehabilitation costs, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, and more. In the case at hand, the jury found the MTA and its driver "100% liable". The amount of the damage award will be forthcoming.
