Years ago, on my second 'post-Navy' job, I was working with a bunch of former military guys, and doing my best to live the life of Messiah before them, and to declare His Good News when I was given the opportunity, or told to. One time I was really 'told' to, commanded to, and I did so reluctantly, as I was not very fond of the person; he was a miserable cuss, and I was certain he would just reject everything I said. But, I managed to obey somehow.
On that job, three or four of us started meeting during our brief lunch hour to read scriptures together and pray. An older man joined us, who were all in our twenties. He was a former missionary. After just a few days of meeting with us, he began to function as a recruiter, trying to convince all of us to become missionaries. He used the verse cited above to justify his logic that we needed to go to third-world countries and declare the good news to them. I kept insisting that this was not applicable to everyone who hears these verses! "Make disciples of ALL NATIONS, it says; is America NOT in that roll of nations?" Most of the young men agreed with me, as our desire was to declare his truth to the thirty or so men we worked with. I wish I had time to tell of all the things Yeshua did in our midst in the short time I worked there!
A few years later, after marrying the girl I was dating at the time, and after having lived in Kirbyville and then moving to Houston, I was frustrated more and more with the realm of christians and their thought processes and behaviors. I had been called Satan simply for observing the Sabbath privately in our home, by 'christians' with whom I assembled on sun-day, as there was no Sabbath-keeping congregation with sound doctrine near us. Their duplicity and apparent inability to read the plain meaning of scripture frustrated me. Their lack of real character caused my wife and I to 'bow out gracefully' from places of leadership, and begin a time of prayer to ask Abba to create in our lives HIS Congregation as HE would have it.
During that time, a friend from Kirbyville called. I was relating to him my frustrations, and he asked me, "what are you going to do, Daniel?" "I'm going to MAKE BROTHERS to fellowship with." "Now you're talking like your Father," he said. In spite of his lack of knowledge of truth and rejection of it, he prophesied nonetheless.
Shortly thereafter, three lost men asked me to teach them scripture, and ten years later, ten years ago now, our Congregation was 'birthed', or budded forth from the root that Messiah planted twenty years ago.
So many romanticize about 'becoming a missionary', thinking that they must travel abroad at the expense of the 'church' in order to bring His Good News to lost people. They do not realize how lost Americans are! How HUNGRY all the world is for truth.
Yeshua spoke very plainly here, saying basically he came to confirm/explain/expound the words of Torah. Starting in the very next verse, and for two more chapters, He does EXACTLY THAT. Yet 'scholars' and teachers today tell us NOT to teach the commandments of Torah. And they tell us NOT to preach to those around us, but go to foreign nations and take up a career in being paid to 'preach' to far-distant lost souls. What about our families, neighbors, friends, coworkers and those we mingle among every day in public? Are THEY not among the nations? Are THEY not lost? Are they not in need of a Savior to deliver them from THEIR sin?
That was said in ISRAEL, 2,000 years ago!
There is PLENTY to do RIGHT WHERE WE SIT.
And there are PLENTY who may know who Messiah is, but they do not know HOW to walk His walk. And they are hungry for meat, and being fed nothing but sugar, becoming malnourished and desperate for attention, and hence following EVERY wind of doctrine, and seeking out someone to scratch their itching ears and tell them they are okay 'in christ'.
BE a talmid. MAKE Talmidim. It's EASY to do overseas, where people are in despair. The HARDEST work of the kingdom is done here, in time of great prosperity, and ease, and amidst all manner of deceit and error.
I was SO pleased to hear a year or so after I left that job where that 'missionary' was so bent on sending us away, that the 'miserable cuss' to whom I had declared the Good News of Messiah had turned himself. It was revealed to me during our conversation, by the Ru'akh, that he was a homosexual. He came out to our coworkers while we were working in New Orleans, and I still only said 'hi' to him every day. And the believers prayed. I called one of those coworkers a year later, and the first thing he told me was that this 'cuss' had put his trust in Messiah Yeshua, and had been delivered of his lifestyle, and was a completely different, and HAPPY man. You NEVER KNOW what your presence is doing, and your meager declaration, WHERE YOU ARE! Trust in the SIMPLE declaration of HIS TRUTH. He IS with you. If you trust.
‹ PreviousAbba! Tell us a Story!
Next ›THIS is the King of the Jews?
In the last few weeks I been exposed more with Jehovah witness,and Catholics people,but what I like about ,is YHWH YESHUA was simple ,His words are sweet like honey,but strong and firm like a rock,and when we TRUST,and have our Emunah in action,you put that mustard seed in them without fight,or debate ,YHWH YESHUA will do the rest.


broadcast playback pre-amplifier with two channels (stereo), perfect applicable as phono Equalizer for MC and MM pick-ups, and as a "line" amplifier.
The V54/S has been developed in early 60' by EMT-W. Franz KG, a famous German manufacture of high quality broadcasting studio equipment - the record players, phono MC cartridges and broadcast reverberation systems.
The V54/S works in originally, as a playback amplifier with an especially equalization, for a studio sound delaying system (Echo/Reverberation) type EMT 140ST.
The electrically circuit of the V54/S is almost identically with the electrically circuit of the NEUMANN WV2A – a legendary dual channel tube pre-amplifier with RIAA equalization, used in professionally broadcast studios (see for comparing the schematic diagram of the NEUMANN WV2A). EMT V54/S and NEUMANN WV2A are equipped with the same tubes - 4xEF804S and 2xE80CC. There are differently only several resistors, and caps, by reason of a inverted RIAA equalization in the V54/S.
In originally, the V54/S has additionally a 1,5 Watt control SE power tube amplifier with tube E81L, which must be removed in the modification. The equalization must be modified to RIAA equalization, according the NEUMANN WV2A electrically circuit. The cathodes resistors from the EF804S input must be changed of a 1,4 Volt rechargeable Ni-Cd battery, for perfectly stabilisation of the working condition the input tubes.
The Ni-Cd battery in the cathode is a unique solution patented by NEUMANN, and this solution have only the NEUMANN WV2, WV2A and SEV-1/SEV-2 phono pre-amplifiers. Each professional technician can recognize, that both circuit diagrams of V54/S and WV2A are almost identically: The frequency response of the EMT V54/S is perfectly from 20 Hz to 20 kHz +/- 0dB.

IT'S TIME TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY!
My philosophy is to view being "FIT" as an ongoing process. To be "FIT" means to have: A "F" foundation of "I" incorruptible "T" thinking .
By first changing your heart, and your mind, you body WILL and MUST follow anything that you set those two vital vessels to do.
I live, dream and eat fitness every day of my life. I have 20 years of personal training expierence. I fell in love with fitness, when I was 6 years old, my mother and uncle gave me my first set of weights to work out for football. I played professional football, currently compete in bodybuilding. Having won several titles, I learned how to transform client's bodies with my personalized workouts and healthy food plans. After my football career ended, I wanted to share my love with others to achieve their personal fitness goals through tailored fitness activities and guided fitness programs.
RASHID SHAKIROV-CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER I have always been fascinated by amazing biological machine ever created by the Mother Nature, it is Human Body. My bookshelves are filled with books in anatomy, yoga, health and everything about it. In addition, my wrestling background in school and later in college, helped me get insider knowledge of, how all pieces of that puzzle work together.Sadly, we do not appreciate what the precious gift we have. We are constantly destroying everything around us, the environment, other creatures and ourselves. We are more conscious of our cars, when we are filling tanks with premium gas than our bodies when we are eating junk food and feeding our kids with it. Our goal as fitness professionals, not to work just on the appearance of our clients but educate them about the importance of building up healthy habits. It should not be a quick fix diet for some event, but the lifelong habit. My favorite workouts are with body weight. Everything is done in the movement. With necessary adjustments for clients with limitations to avoid injury.
Why I Train: I started lifting weights to prepare for the military after finishing school. I ended up loving how it made me feel mentally and the discipline it created. I try to help other people learn to love exercise in whatever form speaks to them.
Method of Teaching: With everyone I try to use verbal, written, and physical cues. Most important is spending time with the person to learn how they best learn and what motivates them.
Favorite Food: Hard to say! If I had to choose I'd say fajitas and a cucumber salad.
Favorite Quote: We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
Fitness has always played a vital role in my life, from playing sports at an early age through college to training elite warriors for combat operations. During my career in the military, working out was less about gaining a competitive edge but more of enhancing my fitness for ever-changing conditions. I applied the Special Operations' motto of "Anytime, Anyplace" to my workout regimen. My diverse experiences have enabled me to design programs from robust facilities to more austere locations that fit into any daily schedule. I possess a wide array of techniques that will ensure we find the right program to transform you into the "you" that you want to be. Together we will establish your goals and determine which fitness routine will be the best fit. If you are looking to improve your flexibility and balance, we can incorporate some yoga into your program. Despite my gentler side, if you need some tough love to remain motivated we can set out on a training mission where failure is NOT an option. In addition, I can help you enhance your personal protection capabilities through self-defense training. I also understand when fitness goals are sidetracked. Personally I have rehabilitated from several sports as well as combat related injuries in addition to helping numerous clients regain their ability to pursue and achieve their fitness goals. I am confident that we will achieve success together.

Hopi Cultural Preservation Office
Hopinaatoyla: The Hopi Flag
MISSION/FUNCTION:
State of Purpose: The Hopi Cultural Preservation Office (HCPO) is charged with the responsibility of representing the Hopi peoples' cultural interest both within and outside the Hopi reservation including the newly acquired lands (ranches). The responsibility requires the involvement and the input of the Hopi villages, clans, and religious societies as well as the Hopi tribal government. The Hopi Cultural Preservation Office is the central tribal clearing house for the culturally related issues coming to the attention of the Hopi Tribe.
As with all Native American cultures, traditional knowledge is central to Hopi culture. There is no more rewarding method of learning than the original "interactive method," speaking and listening. For the Hopi, traditional knowledge explains not only the origin of all peoples but provides lessons for how to live today.
Multi-level learning
Most of us know at least one children's fairy tale that has a moral lesson in it. Although the story is meant to be entertaining, it is also supposed to be educational. Hopi traditional knowledge is encoded in this way and contains messages on many different levels. In this way, listeners learn new and important lessons as their own understanding deepens. The strength of traditional knowledge lies in its ability to convey a deeper truth. Seen in this light, traditional knowledge is more than just the retelling of events, names, and dates. In this way, traditional knowledge differs from written historical accounts in style and purpose.

In this information age, we are concerned with protecting our own ideas. These ideas may be in speeches, music composition, computer programs, television, and other media. Our nation's courtrooms are filled with cases in which someone allegedly breached that intellectual property right.
Through the decades the intellectual property rights of Hopi have been violated for the benefit of many other, non-Hopi people that has proven to be detrimental. Expropriation comes in many forms. For example, numerous stories told to strangers have been published in books without the storytellers' permission. After non-Hopis saw ceremonial dances, tape recorded copies of music were sold to outside sources. Clothing items of ceremonial dancers have been photographed without the dancers' permission and sold. Choreography from ceremonial dances has been copied and performed in non-sacred settings. Even the pictures of the ceremonies have been included in books without written permission. Designs from skilled Hopi potters have been duplicated by non-Hopis. Katsinas dolls have also been duplicated from Hopi dancers seen at Hopi. Although the Hopi believe the ceremonies are intended for the benefit of all people, they also believe benefits only result when ceremonies are properly performed and protected.
All of these actions are breaches of Hopi intellectual property rights, used by non-Hopi for personal and commercial benefit without Hopi permission.
Through these thefts, sacred rituals have been exposed to others out of context and without Hopi permission. Some of this information has reached individuals for whom it was not intended (e.g., Hopi youth, members of other clans, or non-Hopi).
Please be mindful of the personal ethics involved in and laws surrounding this issue.

Home ALL NEWS & INFO HEALTH TIPS | AFYA CHOLERA : CUASES, SYMPTOMS, PREVENTIONS AND TREATMENTS
CHOLERA : CUASES, SYMPTOMS, PREVENTIONS AND TREATMENTS
Cholera is a bacterial disease usually spread through contaminated water.
Cholera causes severe diarrhea and dehydration.
Left untreated, cholera can be fatal within hours, even in previously healthy people.
Modern sewage and water treatment have virtually eliminated cholera in industrialized countries.
But cholera still exists in Africa, Southeast Asia and Haiti.
The risk of a cholera epidemic is highest when poverty, war or natural disasters force people to live in crowded conditions without adequate sanitation.
Cholera is easily treated.
Death from severe dehydration can be prevented with a simple and inexpensive rehydration solution.
Most people exposed to the cholera bacterium (Vibrio cholerae) don't become ill and don't know they've been infected.
But because they shed cholera bacteria in their stool for seven to 14 days, they can still infect others through contaminated water.
Most cases of cholera that cause symptoms cause mild or moderate diarrhea that's often hard to tell apart from diarrhea caused by other problems.
Others develop more-serious signs and symptoms of cholera, usually within a few days of infection.
Symptoms of cholera infection can include:
Cholera-related diarrhea comes on suddenly and can quickly cause dangerous fluid loss — as much as a quart (about 1 liter) an hour.
Diarrhea due to cholera often has a pale, milky appearance that resembles water in which rice has been rinsed.
Vomiting occurs especially in the early stages of cholera and can last for hours.
Dehydration can develop within hours after cholera symptoms start and range from mild to severe.
A loss of 10% or more of body weight indicates severe dehydration.
Signs and symptoms of cholera dehydration include:
sunken eyes
a dry mouth
extreme thirst
dry and shriveled skin that's slow to bounce back when pinched into a fold
little or no urinating
an irregular heartbeat.
Dehydration can lead to a rapid loss of minerals in your blood that maintain the balance of fluids in your body.
This is called an electrolyte imbalance.
An electrolyte imbalance can lead to serious signs and symptoms such as:
Muscle cramps.
These result from the rapid loss of salts such as sodium, chloride and potassium.
Shock.
This is one of the most serious complications of dehydration.
It occurs when low blood volume causes a drop in blood pressure and a drop in the amount of oxygen in your body.
If untreated, severe hypovolemic shock can cause death in minutes.
The risk of cholera is slight in industrialized nations.
Even in areas where it exists, you're not likely to become infected if you follow food safety recommendations.
Still, cases of cholera occur throughout the world.
If you develop severe diarrhea after visiting an area with active cholera, see your doctor.
If you have diarrhea, especially severe diarrhea, and think you might have been exposed to cholera, seek treatment right away.
Severe dehydration is a medical emergency that requires immediate care.
A bacterium called Vibrio cholerae causes cholera infection.
The deadly effects of the disease are the result of a toxin the bacteria produce in the small intestine.
The toxin causes the body to secrete enormous amounts of water, leading to diarrhea and a rapid loss of fluids and salts (electrolytes).
Cholera bacteria might not cause illness in all people who are exposed to them, but they still pass the bacteria in their stool, which can contaminate food and water supplies.
Contaminated water supplies are the main source of cholera infection.
The bacterium can be found in:
Surface or well water.
Contaminated public wells are frequent sources of large-scale cholera outbreaks.
People living in crowded conditions without adequate sanitation are especially at risk.
Seafood.
Eating raw or undercooked seafood, especially shellfish, that comes from certain places can expose you to cholera bacteria.
Most recent cases of cholera in the United States have been traced to seafood from the Gulf of Mexico.
Raw fruits and vegetables.
Raw, unpeeled fruits and vegetables are a frequent source of cholera infection in areas where there's cholera.
In developing countries, uncomposted manure fertilizers or irrigation water containing raw sewage can contaminate produce in the field.
Grains.
In regions where cholera is widespread, grains such as rice and millet that are contaminated after cooking and kept at room temperature for several hours can grow cholera bacteria.
Everyone is susceptible to cholera, with the exception of infants who get immunity from nursing mothers who have previously had cholera.
Still, certain factors can make you more vulnerable to the disease or more likely to have severe signs and symptoms.
Risk factors for cholera include:
Poor sanitary conditions.
Cholera is more likely to flourish in situations where a sanitary environment — including a safe water supply — is difficult to maintain.
Such conditions are common to refugee camps, impoverished countries, and areas afflicted by famine, war or natural disasters.
Reduced or nonexistent stomach acid.
Cholera bacteria can't survive in an acidic environment, and ordinary stomach acid often serves as a defense against infection.
But people with low levels of stomach acid — such as children, older adults, and people who take antacids, H-2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors — lack this protection, so they're at greater risk of cholera.
Household exposure.
You're at increased risk of cholera if you live with someone who has the disease.
Type O blood.
For reasons that aren't entirely clear, people with type O blood are twice as likely to develop cholera compared with people with other blood types.
Raw or undercooked shellfish.
Although industrialized nations no longer have large-scale cholera outbreaks, eating shellfish from waters known to harbor the bacteria greatly increases your risk.
Cholera can quickly become fatal.
In the most severe cases, the rapid loss of large amounts of fluids and electrolytes can lead to death within hours.
In less extreme situations, people who don't receive treatment can die of dehydration and shock hours to days after cholera symptoms first appear.
Although shock and severe dehydration are the worst complications of cholera, other problems can occur, such as:
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Dangerously low levels of blood sugar (glucose) — the body's main energy source — can occur when people become too ill to eat.
Children are at greatest risk of this complication, which can cause seizures, unconsciousness and even death.
Low potassium levels.
People with cholera lose large quantities of minerals, including potassium, in their stools.
Very low potassium levels interfere with heart and nerve function and are life-threatening.
Kidney failure.
When the kidneys lose their filtering ability, excess amounts of fluids, some electrolytes and wastes build up in the body — a potentially life-threatening condition.
In people with cholera, kidney failure often accompanies shock.
Cholera is rare in the United States with the few cases related to travel outside the U.S.
or to contaminated and improperly cooked seafood from the Gulf Coast waters.
If you're traveling to areas known to have cholera, your risk of contracting the disease is extremely low if you follow these precautions:
Wash your hands with soap and water frequently, especially after using the toilet and before handling food.
Rub soapy, wet hands together for at least 15 seconds before rinsing.
If soap and water aren't available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Drink only safe water, including bottled water or water you've boiled or disinfected yourself.
Use bottled water even to brush your teeth.
Hot beverages are generally safe, as are canned or bottled drinks, but wipe the outside before you open them.
Don't add ice to your drinks unless you made it yourself using safe water.
Eat food that's completely cooked and hot and avoid street vendor food, if possible.
If you do buy a meal from a street vendor, make sure it's cooked in your presence and served hot.
Avoid sushi, as well as raw or improperly cooked fish and seafood of any kind.
Stick to fruits and vegetables that you can peel yourself, such as bananas, oranges and avocados.
Stay away from salads and fruits that can't be peeled, such as grapes and berries.
Cholera vaccine
For adults traveling from the United States to areas affected by cholera, a vaccine called Vaxchora is available in the United States.
It is a liquid dose taken by mouth at least 10 days before travel.
A few other countries offer oral vaccines as well.
Contact your doctor or local office of public health for more information about these vaccines.
Even with the vaccine, it's important to take the above precautions to prevent cholera.

Mortgage lenders ship jobs to India
Greenpoint, Countrywide to open overseas call centers
by Jessica Swesey
Mortgage lenders are jumping on the outsourcing-to-India bandwagon. But they're keeping their plans and actions under wraps in the politically charged debate over how foreign outsourcing affects workers in the United States.
IGate Global Solutions, a global technology and operations firm, last month announced a deal with Greenpoint Mortgage that will involve "relocating certain services to India."
"Operations will commence shortly and be housed in iGate's new 14-acre campus situated in Whitefield, Bangalore," iGate said in a statement.
But Greenpoint won't discuss the details or answer questions about its outsourcing strategy.
Sending jobs to India is a touchy subject for American workers. Indeed, Presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry has even started to use the issue as a soapbox to reach out to voters.
Lenders are looking to India to stay competitive as the mortgage refinance market tightens and creates fiercer competition for business.
Call centers in India present an opportunity to cut costs and beef up customer service and retention, according to Steve Kropper, founder of Domania, which provides customer acquisition and retention technologies to banks, mortgage lenders and real estate agents.
"One of the few countries in the world where you have a comparative advantage in the phone costs and where people speak English well is India," he said.
Telephone-based customer service in the United States historically is of poor quality because companies won't pay much for such unskilled positions and skilled workers abandon such jobs for better-paid opportunities. Whether a call center in India provides better quality service may be debatable, but there's no question that it's cheaper because labor costs are lower overseas.
Lenders spend about $1,350 in sales and marketing costs to obtain one retail mortgage customer, or about $600 through a more direct channel, Kropper said. A combination of U.S. and offshore sales and marketing cuts that customer acquisition cost to just $400.
Countrywide Financial Corp. also reportedly is setting up call centers in India. American Banker recently reported the lender plans to open a 250-person call center in that country by the end of next year with the aim of cutting at least $8 million in costs annually.
The company didn't respond to repeated requests for more information about its plans.
Consumer advocates wonder whether borrowers will ever pocket any of the savings.
"My guess is one would see cost control first as opposed to cost savings," Kropper said.
Consumer privacy isn't a major concern because lenders that have outsourced customer service don't store customer data in overseas locations, Kropper said. Customer service workers generally use computers that don't have storage devices and are required to keep their desks free of pen and paper.
"The data can be viewed in an offshore environment, but it can't be stored," he said.
Kropper believes outbound calling for borrower leads can be performed in India as well as post-loan closing customer services. But he doesn't think the whole mortgage lending process will migrate overseas because while some functions work well in an outsourcing situation, others work better in the United States.
Outsourcing parts of the mortgage transaction isn't a new practice among lenders. Many already outsource credit, mortgage insurance and appraisal services to third-party vendors. Two-thirds of mortgage loans come from channels other than direct lending, according to Kropper.
It's easy to see why lenders keep quiet about their outsourcing plans, given the backlash over shipping U.S. jobs to India. Even so, some experts say the public fear of outsourcing is misplaced.
Bruce Bartlett, a senior fellow for the National Center for Policy Analysis, believes outsourcing's benefits greatly outweigh its costs. He thinks outsourcing is far less a threat to U.S. workers than they first imagine it is.
"There is not a one-for-one relationship between jobs lost here and those gained elsewhere from outsourcing," Bartlett wrote in an article NCPA published in December.
At some point though, investors will want to know the details of a public company's cost-cutting strategies.

Industrial machinery mechanics, often called machinery maintenance mechanics or industrial machinery repairers, inspect, maintain, repair, and adjust industrial production and processing machinery and equipment to ensure its proper operation in various industries. There are approximately 220,000 industrial machinery mechanics employed in the United States.
Before 1750 and the beginning of the industrial revolution in Europe, almost all work was done by hand. Families grew their own food, wove their own cloth, and bought or traded very little. Gradually the economic landscape changed. Factories mass-produced products that had once been created by hand. The spinning jenny, a multiple-spindle machine for spinning wool or cotton, was one of the first machines of the industrial revolution. After it came a long procession of inventions and developments, including the steam engine, power loom, cotton gin, steamboat, locomotive, telegraph, and Bessemer converter. With these machines came the need for people who could maintain and repair them.
Mechanics learned that all machines are based on six configurations: the lever, the wheel and axle, the pulley, the inclined plane, the wedge, and the screw. By combining these elements in more complex ways, the machines could do more work in less time than people or animals could do. Thus, the role of machinery mechanics became vital in keeping production lines running and businesses profitable.
The industrial revolution continues even today, although now it's known as the Age of Automation. As machines become more numerous and more complex, the work of the industrial machinery mechanic becomes even more necessary.
The types of machinery on which industrial machinery mechanics work are as varied as the types of industries operating in the United States today. Mechanics are employed in metal stamping plants, printing plants, chemical and plastics plants, and almost any type of large-scale industrial operation that can be imagined. The machinery in these plants must be maintained regularly. Breakdowns and delays with one machine can hinder a plant's entire operation, which is costly for the company.
Preventive maintenance is a major part of mechanics' jobs. They inspect the equipment, oil and grease moving components, and clean and repair parts. They also keep detailed maintenance records on the equipment they service. They often follow blueprints and engineering specifications to maintain and fix equipment.
When breakdowns occur, mechanics may partially or completely disassemble a machine to make the necessary repairs. They replace worn bearings, adjust clutches, and replace and repair defective parts. They may have to order replacement parts from the machinery's manufacturer. If no parts are available, they may have to make the necessary replacements, using milling machines, lathes, or other tooling equipment. After the machine is reassembled, they may have to make adjustments to its operational settings. They often work with the machine's regular operator to test it. When repairing electronically controlled machinery, mechanics may work closely with electronic repairers or electricians who maintain the machine's electronic parts.
Often these mechanics can identify potential breakdowns and fix problems before any real damage or delays occur. They may notice that a machine is vibrating, rattling, or squeaking, or they may see that the items produced by the machine are flawed. Many types of new machinery are built with programmed internal evaluation systems that check the accuracy and condition of equipment. This assists mechanics in their jobs, but it also makes them responsible for maintaining the check-up systems.
Machinery installations are becoming another facet of a mechanic's job. As plants retool and invest in new equipment, they rely on mechanics to properly situate and install the machinery. In many plants, millwrights traditionally did this job, but as employers increasingly seek workers with multiple skills, industrial machinery mechanics are taking on new responsibilities.
Industrial machinery mechanics use a wide range of tools when doing preventive maintenance or making repairs. For example, they may use simple tools such as a screwdriver and wrench to repair an engine or a hoist to lift a printing press off the ground. Sometimes they solder or weld equipment. They use power and hand tools and precision measuring instruments. In some shops, mechanics troubleshoot the entire plant's operations. Others may become experts in electronics, hydraulics, pneumatics, or other specialties.

While most employers prefer to hire those who have completed high school, opportunities do exist for those without a diploma as long as they have had some kind of related training. While you are in high school, take courses in mechanical drawing, general mathematics, algebra, and geometry. Other classes that will help prepare you for this career are physics, computer science, and electronics. Any class that gives you experience in blueprint reading adds to your qualifications.
In the past, most industrial machinery mechanics learned the skills of the trade informally by spending several years as helpers in a particular factory. Currently, as machinery has become more complex, more formal training is necessary. Today many mechanics learn the trade through apprenticeship programs sponsored by a local trade union. Apprenticeship programs usually last four years and include both on-the-job and related classroom training. In addition to the use and care of machine and hand tools, apprentices learn the operation, lubrication, and adjustment of the machinery and equipment they will maintain. In class they learn shop mathematics, blueprint reading, safety, hydraulics, welding, and other subjects related to the trade.
Students may also obtain training through vocational or technical schools. Useful programs are those that offer machine shop courses and provide training in electronics and numerical control machine tools.
Industrial machinery mechanics should have mechanical aptitude and manual dexterity.
ISA—The Instrumentation, Systems, and Automation Society offers certification for industrial maintenance mechanics. Contact the society for more information.
Students interested in this field should possess mechanical aptitude and manual dexterity. Good physical condition and agility are necessary because as a mechanic you will sometimes have to lift heavy objects, crawl under large machines, or climb to reach equipment located high above the factory floor.
Mechanics are responsible for valuable equipment and are often called upon to exercise considerable independent judgment. Because of technological advances, you should be willing to learn the requirements of new machines and production techniques. When a plant purchases new equipment, the equipment's manufacturer often trains plant employees in proper operation and maintenance. Technological change requires mechanics to be adaptable and to have inquiring minds.
If you are interested in this field, you should take as many shop courses as you can. Exploring and repairing machinery such as auto mobiles and home appliances will also sharpen your skills. In addition, try landing part-time work or a summer job in an industrial plant that gives you the opportunity to observe industrial repair work being done.
Approximately 220,000 industrial machinery mechanics are employed in the United States. These mechanics work in a wide variety of plants and are employed in every part of the country, although employment is concentrated in industrialized areas. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, two-thirds of all industrial machinery mechanics work in manufacturing industries such as chemicals, motor vehicles, food processing, textile mill products, primary metals, and fabricated metal products. Others work for public utilities, government agencies, and mining companies.
Jobs can be obtained by directly applying to companies that use industrial equipment or machinery. The majority of mechanics work for manufacturing plants. These plants are found in a wide variety of industries, including the automotive, plastics, textile, electronics, packaging, food, beverage, and aerospace industries. Chances for job openings may be better at a large plant. New workers are generally assigned to work as helpers or trainees.
Prospective mechanics also may learn of job openings or apprenticeship programs through local unions. Industrial mechanics may be represented by one of several unions, depending on their industry and place of employment. These unions include the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America; the United Steelworkers of America; the United Auto Workers; the International Union of Electronic, Electrical, Salaried, Machine, and Furniture Workers—Communications Workers of America; the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America; and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, approximately 25 percent of all industrial machinery mechanics are members of a union. Private and state employment offices are other good sources of job openings.
Those who begin as helpers or trainees usually become journeymen in four years. Although opportunities for advancement beyond this rank are somewhat limited, industrial machinery mechanics who learn more complicated machinery and equipment can advance to higher paying positions. The most highly skilled mechanics may be promoted to master mechanics. Those who demonstrate good leadership and interpersonal skills can become supervisors. Skilled mechanics also have the option of becoming machinists, numerical control tool programmers, precision metalworkers, packaging machinery technicians, and robotics technicians. Some of these positions do require additional training, but the skills of a mechanic readily transfer to these areas.
In 2006, median hourly earnings for industrial machinery mechanics were $19.74 (or $41,050 annually), according to the U.S. Department of Labor. The lowest paid 10 percent earned less than $12.84 an hour (or $26,710 annually). The highest 10 percent earned $29.85 or more per hour (or $62,080 annually). Apprentices generally earn lower wages and earn incremental raises as they advance in their training. Earnings vary based on experience, skills, type of industry, and geographic location. Those working in union plants generally earn more than those in nonunion plants. Most industrial machinery mechanics are provided with benefit packages, which can include paid holidays and vacations; medical, dental, and life insurance; and retirement plans.
Industrial machinery mechanics work in all types of manufacturing plants, which may be hot, noisy, and dirty or relatively quiet and clean. Mechanics frequently work with greasy, dirty equipment and need to be able to adapt to a variety of physical conditions. Because machinery is not always accessible, mechanics may have to work in stooped or cramped positions or on high ladders.
Although working around machinery poses some danger, this risk is minimized with proper safety precautions. Modern machinery includes many safety features and devices, and most plants follow good safety practices. Mechanics often wear protective clothing and equipment, such as hard hats and safety belts, glasses, and shoes.
Mechanics work with little supervision and need to be able to work well with others. They need to be flexible and respond to changing priorities, which can result in interruptions that pull a mechanic off one job to repair a more urgent problem. Although the standard workweek is 40 hours, overtime is common. Because factories and other sites can't afford breakdowns, industrial machinery mechanics may be called to the plant at night or on weekends for emergency repairs.
The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that employment for industrial machinery mechanics will grow more slowly than the aver age for all occupations through 2014. Some industries will have a greater need for mechanics than others. Much of the new automated production equipment that companies are purchasing has its own self-diagnostic capabilities and is more reliable than older equipment. Although this machinery still needs to be maintained, most job openings will stem from the replacement of transferring or retiring workers.
Certain industries are extremely susceptible to changing economic factors and reduce production activities in slow periods. During these periods, companies may lay off workers or reduce hours. Mechanics are less likely to be laid off than other workers as machines need to be maintained regardless of production levels. Slower production periods and temporary shutdowns are often used to overhaul equipment. Nonetheless, employment opportunities are generally better at companies experiencing growth or stable levels of production.
Because machinery is becoming more complex and automated, mechanics need to be more highly skilled than in the past. Mechanics who stay up to date with new technologies, particularly those related to electronics and computers, should find favorable employment opportunities over the next decade.

COVID Money Tracker
By Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget
WASHINGTON DC (June 12, 2020) — In response to the current pandemic and economic crisis, Congress and the President have enacted $4 trillion in spending, benefit payments, grants, loans, tax cuts, tax deferrals, and other measures to support the economy. So far, over half that money — $2.1 trillion — is out the door. The remaining dollars are largely flowing as expected.
This blog post is a product of the COVID Money Tracker, a new initiative of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget focused on identifying and tracking the disbursement of the trillions being poured into the economy to combat the crisis through legislative, administrative, and Federal Reserve actions.
Since the beginning of March, Congress and the President have enacted five pieces of legislation to address the current economic and public health crisis. In total, these bills will provide as much as $3.6 trillion of near-term support to the economy, and cost $2.4 trillion over a decade (the difference is attributable to loans, loan guarantees, and tax deferrals — which offer substantial support up front but recover most of these dollars). Administrative actions, most significantly delaying tax-filing deadlines, offer an additional $400 billion of fiscal support.
Using our COVID Money Tracker, we estimate that $2.1 trillion of this $4 trillion in enacted support has already been disbursed or committed. Just two and a half months after passage of the CARES Act, in other words, over half of enacted fiscal support is out the door. As a share of estimated net cost, roughly 80 percent is out the door. The rest is largely flowing as intended.
While several programs and policies got off to a rocky starts, including the Paycheck Protection Program and expanded unemployment benefits, disbursement appears to be moving at record speed. For comparison, it took 14 months for half of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to be disbursed in 2009 and 2010.
Of the $2.1 trillion committed or disbursed, about $525 billion is from the Paycheck Protection Program, $300 billion is from delaying tax filing season, nearly $270 billion is from $1,200 per person Economic Impact payments, and $200 billion is from the Economic Stabilization Fund which is primarily for standing up Fed facilities. These dollar figures represent 78, 100, 91, and 40 percent of the total available fiscal support in each of their categories, respectively. Another $147 billion (out of $150 billion) has been allocated to states through the Coronavirus Relief Fund, and $120 billion (out of an estimated $282 billion) has gone toward expanded unemployment benefits.
The money that has not been spent, for the most part, was specifically allocated to be spent later this year or next. For example, various business tax cuts and deferrals will disburse gradually over time as businesses continue to make reduced tax payments. Expanded unemployment benefits will continue to disburse weekly — through July and through the end of the year.
To be sure, not all fiscal support is moving quickly. There still appear to be unemployment backlogs in many states, including for retroactive payments and for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) claims, for example. But the vast majority of money is now either committed, disbursed, or flowing as expected. As a result, incomes are up in April despite output being down significantly, and incomes will likely remain relatively stable through the end of July.
We will continue to track all of the federal response to the current pandemic, including disbursements and commitments, as part of our ongoing COVID Money Tracker initiative.

Prevention Experts, Eye Doctors Disagree On Vision Tests For Seniors
By Michelle Andrews March 11, 2016
Some doctors and a key group of preventive care experts are not seeing eye to eye on seniors' need for vision screening during primary care visits.
There's not enough evidence to know whether giving seniors a vision test when they visit their primary care doctor will lead to earlier detection and treatment of cataracts, age-related macular degeneration or refractive problems that could require corrective glasses and contacts, according to guidelines published by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force this month in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The task force, an independent group of medical experts, evaluates the scientific evidence related to preventive services for patients that don't have symptoms or signs of medical problems. Under the health law, services that the task force assigns an "A" or "B" grade must generally be covered by health plans, including Medicare, without charging consumers anything out of pocket. In this instance — screening for impaired visual acuity in people age 65 and older — the task force assigned an "I" grade, saying the evidence was insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of screening, the same grade it assigned screening in 2009 when it last reviewed the evidence.
This KHN story also ran on NPR. It can be republished for free (details).
An organization of eye doctors and surgeons criticized the task force recommendation. In an editorial published in JAMA Ophthalmology, Dr. David Parke II, chief executive officer of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, argued that the task force didn't give enough weight to supporting evidence about the health and quality of life benefits of identifying and addressing visual problems early.
There's a misperception that seniors get an eye exam every year, Parke said in an interview, but many do not. "This is simply an issue of whether it makes sense, when a senior is in a primary care situation, to look at an eye chart and see if they can see well," said Parke. "For a substantial percentage of seniors it may uncover a treatable disease."
The USPSTF report said that up to 15 percent of people age 65 and older reported having problems seeing, even with corrective lenses. Many visual problems increase with age, including cataracts, which are a blurring of the lens of the eye, and age-related macular degeneration, in which part of the retina deteriorates.
More from this series
While agreeing that early detection is generally important, Dr. Alfred Sommer said it is unlikely that having seniors read an eye chart at their primary care physician's office would identify many serious eye problems. Sommer, a professor of ophthalmology and of epidemiology at Johns Hopkins University who authored an editorial in JAMA Internal Medicine about the vision guidelines, said that an eye test can identify refractive problems, but that isn't likely necessary. "Most people get glasses when they feel they need them," he said.
For other eye conditions, such as macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, it's unclear that screening asymptomatic seniors in a primary care screening will be beneficial, Sommer said. That's because "none of those conditions necessarily reduce your vision until they're bad," and probably wouldn't be picked up with a simple vision test, he said.
Cataracts, meanwhile, can reduce vision early but aren't more difficult to treat at a later stage, Sommer said.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology's own recommendations call for people age 65 and older to have a comprehensive eye exam with an ophthalmologist every year or two. For seniors who are concerned about eye health, that's good advice, Sommer said.

Q: Do I need to use the ampersand in PHP 5.5.X and above anymore? I'm getting mixed signals all over the place.
Do I use the ampersand to pass variables by reference or not?
The following link seems to tell me that it is deprecated and no longer necessary:
http://gtk.php.net/manual/en/html/tutorials/tutorials.changes.references.html
But threads like these make me wonder:
Call-time pass-by-reference deprecated?
PHP and ampersand
Let me phrase my question as an example.
If I make a function, using PHP 5.5.5:
function recurring_mailer_form($form, $form_state)
{

}

Is it the same as:
function recurring_mailer_form($form, &$form_state)
{

}

?

A: No, it is not.

*

*Objects are always automatically passed as references (info! see below for additional important information!)

*Declaring paramters as references must happen at the function definition:
function test(&$var) {}

Not at the time of calling it:
// wrong
$var = '123';
test(&$var);

If you pass an object as usual, you can alter the object's state (properties).

Assume that $obj is an instance of the class TestClass which contains a member variable called hello (click here for a full sample at Ideone.com):

function modify($obj) { $obj->hello = 'world (modified)!'; }

$obj->hello = 'world';
modify($obj);
var_dump($obj->hello);  // outputs "world (modified!)"

This should be self-explanatory. Now, using the same code but assigning another value to $obj instead modifying the object's state results in no modification (→ Ideone.com):
function modify($obj) { $obj = 42; }
// ...
var_dump($obj->hello);  // outputs "world"

Only accepting the parameter explicitly as a reference gives us the ability to completely change the variable's contents (→ Ideone.com):
function modify(&$obj) { $obj = 42; }
// ...
var_dump($obj);         // outputs "42"

A: The reason different articles seem to be saying different things is that they are talking about different kinds of pass-by-reference.
The main thing that determines if a parameter should be passed by reference is the function signature itself, and the fundamentals of this have not changed since PHP 4. Consider this example:
function foo( $by_value, &$by_reference ) { /* ... */ }

$a = 1; $b = 2;
foo( $a, $b );

Here, the outer variable $a is being passed to the function by value, as though it is being assigned as $by_value = $a; - changes to $by_value cannot affect $a. The variable $b however is being passed by reference; just like an assignment of the form $by_reference =& $b; this means that there is one variable referenced by two names, and any assignment to one will act as an assignment to both.
If you pass an "ordinary" value (a string, number, or array) by value, its value is just copied to the new variable. As of PHP 5: If you pass an object by value, however, something slightly different happens - the "value" copied is just a pointer to the same object. This means that if $a were an object, you could call $by_value->some_property = 42; and $a->some_property would also be 42. However, if you assigned some new value to $by_value, it would still not affect $a.
Until PHP 5.4, there was an extra way to pass a parameter by reference, which was to "force" the reference behaviour at call-time. This meant that you could write foo(&$a, &$b); and "capture" changes made to $by_value inside the foo() function. Relying on this was generally a bad idea, and so it was removed. (It landed in 5.4 because it was intended for removal in PHP 6, but that project was put on indefinite hold, with the smaller changes landing in 5.3 and 5.4).
Finally, functions can return a variable by reference (as discussed in the manual here). This is a little fiddly, as it actually requires you to put & in two places: at the beginning of the function declaration, to say that return should mean "return this variable reference" not "return this value"; and in the code calling it, to assign a variable to that reference, rather than just copying its value. Here's a silly example which combines a reference parameter with a reference return (the two do not have to go together, it's just an example):
function &bar(&$some_param) { return $some_param; }
$a = 1;
$b =& bar($a);
// $b and $a now point at the same variable, not just the same value
// it was passed into and out of a function, and assigned to a new variable,
// but all those operations were by reference

Note that many people mistakenly believe that passing a variable by reference will give them a performance benefit, and this was often their only reason for using call-time pass-by-reference. This is in fact usually wrong, as the Zend Engine which powers PHP uses a technique called "copy on write" to leave multiple variables which happen to have the same value pointing at the same piece of memory, even if they are not bound up as references. In fact, reference assignment generally defeats this optimisation, due to the way the engine tracks which variables are in the copy-on-write state.

A: No, those are not the same. PHP 5.4+ just detects on call whether reference is needed when the function is called by checking the declaration.
So no, not deprecated since you need the reference operator in the function declaration if that is your intended usage.


Do you know, I don't think I've done an entire post on a book review before… I don't think I've done a proper cookbook review either [shakes head].
I was rapt to be sent a copy of Rachael Devcich's 'Eating Clean – Living Paleo' to have a good squizzy at, ahead of it's launch this week. Suffice to say I've been busy in the kitchen giving it a jolly good road-test before…. I GIVE IT AWAY! I know, madness, I don't know what's possessed me because, I'll cut to the chase: This cookbook is a beautiful thing and one lucky person is going to be pumped to be receiving this via my Facebook giveaway (click here for my Facebook page – The Giveaway will start on 8 August 2015).
I won't beat around the bush, this is a paleo cookbook. Paleo, in case you aren't familiar, is the trend in eating that's been growing steadily overseas and in NZ and is ideal for people with food intolerances to gluten and/or dairy, or who want to cut refined sugar out of their diet. It's at this point I need to mention, I am NOT a paleo convert! Don't get me wrong, I actually love paleo food and, if you've been following my blog for a while you'll know I've blogged a few paleo recipes. My position is that I totally get the paleo philosophy. I reckon there's some top notch fooder from the paleo bandwagon, but I'm not a, well, paleo nut. I'm more of a "I eat everything in moderation" kind of chick. That said, I reckon sugar is fairly evil and I try to avoid refined sugar and highly processed food as much as I can (read this post) and, more recently, I'm playing around with the LCHF (low carb high fat) concept. With that spiel out of the way, I do own a few paleo and clean eating cookbooks and, currently, these are some of my more well-read and reached for cookbooks when I need a burst of inspiration. But, I am not, I repeat, a paleo cheerleader/convert.
Anyway, Eating Clean – Living Paleo is NZ's guide to paleo and is jam packed with over 100 gluten, grain, dairy and refined sugar free recipes. It's the brainchild of Cave Girl Rachael Devcich who, after changing her diet to exclude grains, dairy and refined sugar, found that her general health and energy improved so much that she's become a massive advocate of sharing the message. I'm slightly in awe of Rachael, not only has she pumped out a stunning cookbook with drool-worthy recipes, bugger me, she's taken all the photos and done all her own graphic design. I thought she was superwoman (and I needed some serious up-skilling) until I discovered she was a was originally a chef turned graphic designer and photographer. Lucky her: It's an award winning combo (I said it here first).


Taking advantage of blind casting, Rogers Park is a family affair that puts the spotlight on the Chicago neighborhood of the same name.
Directed by Kyle Henry from a screenplay written by Carlos Treviño, the Chicago-set film stars Antoine McKay, Sara Sevigny, Jonny Mars, and Christine Horn.
All four of the leading characters have their own issues in the film. Zeke (McKay) is dealing with financial issues of his own and doesn't want to let his wife, Grace (Sevigny), in on the problems. Zeke also has a daughter and shares custody with his ex-wife. This is an area in which the family could problem communicate better.
Meanwhile, Grace's brother, Chris (Mars), is battling depression. He's an author and his grief and depression is causing him a load of issues–complicating his relationship with his girlfriend, Deena (Horn). Deena goes so far as suggest they have an open relationship and thinks that Grace and Zeke should do the same. A bulk of the issues Chris is dealing with seems to be a result of a bad relationship with his recently deceased father. Grace seems to have coped just fine but Chris seems to have gotten that bad end of the stick and now manages through working with a therapist.
I love what they did for the casting of Rogers Park. The casting for the film came as a result of an interesting process. For the two couples, they selected four actors as a result of blind casting for a week-long workshop. Race and gender didn't matter. The only things that mattered were whether or not the actors were middle-aged, experienced improvisers, and could reflect the Rogers Park diversity. This resulted in two biracial couples.
While all the performances are solid, it's Sevigny who delivers the most outstanding performance in the film. In watching McKay's performance, it's only a matter of time before his career breaks out in a way that so many Second City alumni have done in the past.
Treviño's screenplay is one that explores whether or not the two couples will be able to survive a midlife crisis during a yearlong period. Behind the camera, Henry gives the cast has ample space to perform their work with minimal camera movements from cinematographer Drew Xanthopoulos.
It may not be the Chicago-set film that pays tribute to so many local sites but at its core, Rogers Park shows that couples are not immune to problems no matter how old they are or where they live. It does so with a core group of actors that represented the Chicago neighborhood.
Rogers Park premiered during the 2017 Chicago International Film Festival. The film will open in Chicago exclusively at the Gene Siskel Film Center on Friday, February 23, 2018. A theatrical roll-out will follow in other cities, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Austin and more, come March.
