This is the oft repeated biblical principle that if we sow bountifully, then we will reap bountifully. Conversely, if we sow the seed sparingly, then our yields will likewise suffer. Assuming you're like me, we believe and disbelieve the promise all at the same time since such free-will giving cuts deep against the grain of our natural person. Can we honestly say that it is better to give than to receive? As an example, my 3 year old son has repeatedly reminded his mom and me last Christmas season "he wants more presents than what he 'gives' to others". I am with you son!!
But our God is not that way. He is not skimpy in His gift giving. He freely and unsparingly gave us His Son of whom the psalmist in Psalm 112 reminds us of how "He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor." If God has given us the Son, how will he not freely give us all things (Romans 8:32)?
What is beyond comprehension at times, though, is not merely that we are so often NOT like God in our own giving, but we don't even admire God when he himself is so generous. Remember Jonah's anger when God showed mercy in saving those despicable foreigners? Remember the Pharisees' disgust with Jesus' dining with sinners and tax collectors? Remember the older brother's embarrassment for his father who threw an extravagant party upon the return of the prodigal son? Remember your own bitterness towards the one who received the promotion that you deserved? Remember how you thought that you could earn your salvation from God by being a "good" person? Not only do we struggle to give freely, we struggle with a God who gives freely too. Our God is not a god of greed mythology who needs to be manipulated into giving good gifts. God is free so as to never give under compulsion. That's what makes Him different.
Let's remember how reckless our God is with overflowing generosity. If you do, this hard to believe Proverb will become a little easier to understand and follow. In your living it out, you will put on display your treasure in a God who out of His abundance is daily lavishing upon you unearned favor.
What an awesome God we serve!!! This is such a timely reminder for me personally. Thanks, brother!


I don't play dirty, I play to win.
I went to see my childhood idol but instead I saw the girl I could never forget. People always say there's always one that got away, and for me that was Natalie. We spent one amazing summer together but then I never saw her again … until now.
From the moment I saw him on my doorstep I knew I was his, whether I wanted to or not. Our time together was sinfully sweet but also short, as we both knew it had to come to an end. Only for me, it was just the beginning, as after Chris left I found out I'm pregnant with his child.

One Injured
Thursday, May 11. 2017
An Eastman man was injured and taken to Dodge County Hospital when his car and another car collided at the intersection of the Eastman Milan Road and the Chauncey Rhine Road at approximately 2:42 p.m. on Saturday, May 6, 2017. According to the Dodge County Sheriff's Department, Wynelle Fullwood, of Eastman, was driving a 2008 Honda CRV toward Milan on the Milan Eastman Road and had stopped at the intersection of the Milan Eastman Road and the Chauncey Rhine Road. Fullwood then pulled into the path of Kojack Thomas, of Eastman, who was driving a 1993 Buick LeSabre toward Chauncey on the Chauncey Rhine Road. Thomas was injured and was taken to the hospital by the Dodge County Emergency Medical Services. (Photo by Chuck Eckles)
Chauncey man was injured when the truck he was driving ran into the rear of another truck on the WPA Road at approximately 10:29 a.m. on Monday, May 8, 2017. According to the Georgia State Patrol report, Harmond Dale Treadwell, age 74, was driving a 2002 Chevrolet S10 pickup east on the WPA Road approximately 1/10 of a mile west of Poplar Springs Church Road when he ran into the rear of a 2015 Ford DRW Super Duty work truck that was stationary parked half on and half off the roadway headed east.

Eastman councilor proposes festival
Wednesday, May 10. 2017
By Taelor Rye
At the May 8, 2017 meeting of the Eastman City Council, city council member Buddy Pittman initiated discussion on the possibility of bringing an annual festival to Eastman.
Citing similar successful festivals in surrounding areas (such as the Pondtown Festival in Rhine), Pittman expressed interest in initiating something that would draw citizens and businesses to downtown Eastman. Because of the high number of pecan trees in the area, Pittman noted that it could be a pecan festival.
Pittman emphasized, "I think we're missing the boat on getting people to come downtown," before listing some different avenues of community involvement: churches, school clubs, civic organizations, and businesses.
In addition, Pittman stated that the city could look into establishing a regularly recurring yard sale in the same vein as Peaches to Beaches.
Pittman said that the yard sales could happen perhaps every three months or so, having citizens – not businesses – gather to sell their own items.
He said, "All this is in an effort to… get traffic coming back downtown… People go to yard sales, and people like to have them."
City council member Prince Dawson added, "I think we should get behind Buddy with this… and not drop this because we want to revive downtown." Dawson also called for community involvement in the planning.
Pittman said that he would bring more concrete ideas for discussion at the council's next meeting.
The council approved to use FacilityDude, an online interface that the city will use for work orders throughout the city. The 12-month contract comes at a cost of $5,520.00, with only a $4,140.00 fee for succeeding years, should the city decide to continue the services.
City manager Jason Cobb discussed "bringing some of our processes here into the 21st century," acknowledging the potential for FacilityDude to help that. Cobb specifically stated that the service will "increase our efficiency on processing all sorts of things. Currently we use a paper work order system, which is relatively effective. However, it's inefficient, also."
Sheriff warns of possible scam
Dodge County Sheriff Lynn Sheffield is warning citizens about a possible scam.
According to the sheriff, on April 29, a citizen of Milan reported to the sheriff's department about a possible scam. The citizen told sheriff's deputies that he had posted on the Georgia Farm Bureau's website about some bales of hay he wanted to sell.
A person by the name of Maj. Paul contacted him by text that he was interested in buying some of the hay. The citizen stated that the two agreed on a price by text and in the next couple of days, he received a certified envelope with a check inside in the amount of $1950.00
In the text, the citizen was instructed to cash the check and take out the amount agreed upon for the hay and to give the remaining amount of $550.00 to the delivery guys.
The citizen stated that he did not feel comfortable cashing the check because he thought it could possibly be a scam.
The name on the envelope was Thomas Carter, Premier Intelligence Company, 422 Pine Street, New Haven, MI.
The name on the check was Ed Mann Landscaping, Clarksville, PA.
If you encounter any situation that you believe may be a scam, contact the Dodge County Sheriff's Department.
New Eastman council member is sworn in
The Eastman City Council began its regular meeting on April 24 by swearing in its newest council member, Sebrina Williams.
After the ceremony, city council member Prince Dawson said, "Welcome to our new city council member. We look forward to working with you."
Additionally, city council member Buddy Pittman told Williams, "We look forward to working with you… You have a very good job ahead of you… Any time you have any questions or anything you need to know, we'll be glad to help you!"
Additional welcomes came from Carl Hofstadter of Hofstadter and Associates, Inc.; Charles Williams of the development authority; and Catherine Parker, a community member who said, "I'm just happy and proud of… [Sebrina] that she took our district to represent."
The meeting also served as the first weekday of Georgia Cities Week, which runs until April 29.
College planning annual air show
Henry Whitfield, director for the Cochran and Eastman campuses of Middle Georgia State University (MGSU), addressed the Dodge County Board of Commissioners concerning the Heart of Georgia Air Show, whose first planning meeting took place last week.
At the April 17 meeting of the board of commissioners, Whitfield stated that the annual air show, set for September 30, will begin at 12:00 p.m. although the event itself will run from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Last year's air show saw over than 2,700 spectators from all over the state, with one school bringing around 40 students and chaperones. Its fundraising goal of $50,000.00 was slightly exceeded, with the county providing funding of $5,000.00 as an entertainment sponsor.
The air show is a "family-friendly event [that] features aerobatic performances, plus food, fun and interactive exhibits." Promotional materials for the show tout MGSU's Eastman campus as Georgia's only four-year public aviation school.
Charles Williams, director of the Eastman-Dodge Chamber of Commerce, informed the board that the Dodge County Board of Education approved to sign Dodge County High School (DCHS) as the first school in Georgia to work with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under HUNCH: High School Students United with NASA to Create Hardware.
Williams named new Eastman councilperson
The Eastman City Council moved to select Sabrina Williams as its newest city council member at its regular meeting on April 10. Williams will fill the unexpired term of former city council member Milton Johnson, who had to vacate his position after moving out of state.
The council also considered Charlene Montford for the position, with city council member Buddy Pittman stating that Williams and Montford were both "two very fine, qualified candidates." He added, "It's exciting to see… that people are interested to fill the position."
Candidates submitted letters of interests and résumés for council deliberation, which took place at a work session prior to the meeting. Regarding qualifications, chairman Raymond Mullis said, "It's a shame we can't have both of them."
City council member Prince Dawson said, "I am here to assist her in any way. She has some concerns that are concerns of the council, so we all will work with you on those."
Pittman added, "Welcome aboard. We look forward to working with you and answering any questions and helping get you guided and going."
Williams will be sworn in at the council's next meeting on April 24, which will also serve as the first weekday of Georgia Cities Week, which runs from April 23 to April 29. City manager Jason Cobb said that the meeting will serve as a "great time to introduce our new council member to the community." Following the meeting will be an open reception with refreshments for all attendees.
Georgia Cities Week celebrations will follow on at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 25, in the form of the second annual State of the City address at the Magnolia Theatre.
Wednesday, April 26, will see a work session hosted in the media center of Dodge County High School (DCHS). Here, the city council will meet with the high school's student council for collaborative dialogue with students. Although the event is geared toward the student council, Cobb stated that the public is invited to it.
Regarding last year's work session at the high school, Pittman stated, "Those kids come up with some extremely interesting questions!"
Tentatively scheduled for Thursday, April 26, is a district 9 listening session in Hazlehurst.
Charles Williams, director of the Eastman-Dodge Chamber of Commerce, informed the council that the Dodge County Board of Education approved to sign DCHS as the first school in Georgia to work with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under HUNCH: High School Students United with Nasa to Create Hardware.
Williams said that HUNCH "is a huge step in the right direction of training high school kids for jobs in the technical world… There's a real enthusiasm for teachers and kids at Dodge County High School (DCHS)."
Not only is DCHS the first Georgia school to become involved with HUNCH, but it is also one of fewer than 100 schools across the nation to do so.
Pondtown festival begins on Friday; Harrell named grand marshall
Wednesday, April 5. 2017
Wright T. Harrell, Sr. will be honored at the annual Pondtown Festival as the grand marshall for 2017 on Saturday, April 8 in Rhine.
Harrell has been married to Jerry Stuckey Harrell for 65 years. They have two children: Wright Harrell, Jr. "Wrighty" of Rhine and Cindy H. Jursick of Moultrie and five grandchildren: Tom, Kelly, Tyler Bracket, Jason and Anna Jursick and two great grandchildren.
Harrell was born and raised around Mitchell Fire Department. He attended Union School and later attended Rhine High School graduating in 1946. In January of 1955, Harrell joined the Army and less than a year later he was granted honorable discharge where he was stationed in Germany. After leave, Harrell went to work at a pulpwood yard.
Eleven years after graduating high school in 1957, Harrell and Stuckey married and made their home in Rhine. In 1962, he purchased a wood yard. His duties at the wood yard were to unload wood, book keep and measuring trucks while doing 90 percent of everything that was done. In 1991, Harrell retired from the wood yard and the doors were closed. He also delivered mail for ten years at the Rhine Post Office. Harrell is the owner and operator of W.T. Harrell Pulpwood in Rhine.
Eastman YDC requests community involvement
Misty Winter, director of the Eastman Youth Development Campus (YDC), and Kiwarren Reese, regional volunteer coordinator from the central office in Atlanta, visited the Eastman City Council at its March 27 meeting to discuss updates to the program and to request community involvement.
Winter began by discussing the changes that have taken and continue to take place at the YDC, stating that, over the past three to four months, the center has been transitioning into more of a vocational and educational building "geared toward reentry services." Specifically, Winter noted that the center is adding programs for culinary arts, medical coding and billing, horticulture and Microsoft Office suite, among others.
Barbering is set to start April 1, and the YDC is looking into partnering with the aviation school for other options. In the meantime, Winter added that the center is looking for instructors for auto tech and construction.
The YDC also holds soft-skill group sessions concerning topics such as tying a tie and holding mock interviews "to better prepare them for the outside world," according to Winter.
Winter also stated, "It's a pleasure to see them grasping the things that we instill in them."
The current population of the YDC is 64 "lower-risk youth," often in their first time at the YDC.
In addition, the YDC is looking to hold more community service learning projects, allowing the youth to give back to the community. Winter said, "This is a great community that I would like to see more involved with Eastman YDC."
Reese noted that the YDC took some of the young men in the YDC to volunteer at the food bank in Macon.
Reese said, "My plea to the council and to the community… is to really show some support by soliciting volunteers to go out… and talk with the kids that are looked for [in the real world]… because, at some point, they're coming home."
Winter closed by stating that the YDC is looking for members for its advisory council, which meets quarterly, as well as correctional officers for the center.
Concerning a speed limit reduction request, Eastman City manager Jason Cobb stated that he is in talks with Eastman Police Chief Becky Sheffield and Dodge County Sheriff Lynn Sheffield to figure out a plan of action, with an expectation to finalize the plan by the next city council meeting.
Commissioners OK servers for E-911
The Dodge County Board of Commissioners approved a request from Dodge/Wilcox E-911 Director Dianne Millwood to purchase new servers for the center.
Director Millwood went before the commissioners at their regular meeting explaining that the E-911 center works off two servers that have been in place since 2004 and that one of the servers was down last week and can not be repaired. She presented the board with a proposal to purchase two new servers from Baker Audio and
E-911 Cad Mapping for a total of $130,692.30. According to the contract, half of the money is due when ordering the servers and the remainder after installation.
Millwood went on to tell commissioners that when the new system was installed, the citizens of Dodge and Wilcox counties will not be without any of the services provided by the center. Laurens County E-911 has agreed to help at any time during the installation process.
Interim county manager Bobby Peacock told commissioners that the funds to replace the servers were available through the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax capital improvements fund. Commissioner Jr. Howell made the motion, which was seconded by commissioner Brian Watkins, to approve the request. The motion passed with all commissioners voting for the motion.
Dr. Byrd indicted on federal charges
A federal grand jury sitting in Savannah returned a 176-count indictment against George Mack Bird, III, age 58, a Georgia physician who operated a medical practice in Dodge County and a diet clinic in Laurens County.
According to the indictment, Bird instructed certain of his employees to dispense and distribute various controlled substances and highly addictive opioids using prescription forms that he had pre-signed in violation of federal law. The indictment further alleged that, because Bird rarely saw or examined his patients, he directed his employees to utilize pre-printed medical notes to give the appearance that patients had been thoroughly examined, when in fact, they had not. Bird's unlawful dispensation scheme was remarkably lucrative, generating more than $4.5 million in proceeds, according to the grand jury. The indictment alleged that Bird and others conspired to illegally launder those proceeds by using them to pay for the operating expenses of Bird's clinics.
Commissioners help with July 4 fireworks
Wednesday, March 8. 2017
Raymond Mullis of the Eastman City Council visited the board to request funds for the July 4 fireworks, following up last year's show, which Mullis stated was "the best we've ever had."
At its last meeting, the city council approved the upfront payment of $10,600.00 for July 4 fireworks. The early payment allows the city to save money that would otherwise be spent with a later payment.
However, companies that donated upwards of $3,700.00 for the fireworks last year have decided not to donate so far this year, Mullis stated. Therefore, he asked that the board of commissioners donate $3,000.00 to supplement the $1,000.00 that the chamber of commerce has donated.
Commissioner Karen Cheek asked whether the payment could be covered by the contingency fund, which county manager Bobby Peacock confirmed.
During his visit, Mullis also shared that the yellow flags on Eastman roads such as Oak Street and Griffin Avenue denote areas that will be repaved by the state.
County attorney John Harrington provided an update on an audit of the Rural Fire Department, discussing the potential of mandating such an audit for funds given to the county fire departments.
Harrington stated that, since the county is the steward of fire department money such as Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) and Special-Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) funds, the board can require information about money spent.
In addition to LOST and SPLOST funds, Peacock said that the county distributes $90,000.00 to be distributed among the nine fire departments, funds that come from the general budget. The question at hand is whether money from the general budget should be audited, as SPLOST and LOST funds are already closely monitored. [Full Story »]
Tractor Trailer Overturns
A tractor trailer driver was taken to Dodge County Hospital after the truck she was driving turned over on the Terry Coleman Parkway on Monday, February 27 at approximately 12:02 p.m. Brittany Tarhera Hamilton, age 31, of Mount Vernon, was driving a 2009 International ProStar Premiu tractor and trailer south on the Terry Coleman Parkway between Edna Moore Road and the Rhine Highway. A rear tire on the trailer blew out and the truck and trailer rolled over on the passenger's side, and slid down the roadway. The trailer hit the guard rail, tearing it loose and the truck skidded down the median. The accident blocked the southbound lane for approximately five hours. (Photo by Chuck Eckles)
Man shot after shooting at officers
Wednesday, February 15. 2017
A Gresston man was shot after he shot at law enforcement officials.
According to Special Agent in Charge of the Eastman Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) office Scott Whitley, at approximately 10:30 a.m. on Friday, February 10, probation officer Terry Hood had gone to 147 Wilson Woodard Road Lot 2 in Gresston to do a routine home check on Kyle Hudson "Hut" Coleman, age 24, who was on probation. Hood knocked on the door of the mobile home several times, but no one answered.
About that time, Dodge County Sheriff's Deputy Kirk Hartwell was driving by the trailer. Coleman ran out the back door of the trailer and Hood and Hartwell chased him.
Coleman ran by the Gresston Congregational Holiness Church and into a cemetery, where he began to shoot at the officers. Both officers returned fire and a bullet hit Coleman in the head area.
It is not known which officer hit Coleman. A ballistics test will have to be run on the bullet to determine that.
An Air Evac helicopter was called to the scene and Coleman was airlifted to the Medical Center Navicent Health in Macon.
Officials do not know why Coleman ran or began shooting at the officers.

An efficient, self-orienting, vertical-array, sand trap
Michael Hilton*, Bill Nickling, Sarah Wakes, Douglas Sherman, Teresa Konlechner, Mark Jermy, Patrick Geoghegan
Ophthalmic Research Group
There remains a need for an efficient, low-cost, portable, passive sand trap, which can provide estimates of vertical sand flux over topography and within vegetation and which self-orients into the wind. We present a design for a stacked vertical trap that has been modelled (computational fluid dynamics, CFD) and evaluated in the field and in the wind tunnel. The 'swinging' trap orients to within 10° of the flow in the wind tunnel at 8 m s−1, and more rapidly in the field, where natural variability in wind direction accelerates orientation. The CFD analysis indicates flow is steered into the trap during incident wind flow. The trap has a low profile and there is only a small decrease in mass flow rate for multiple traps, poles and rows of poles. The efficiency of the trap was evaluated against an isokinetic sampler and found to be greater than 95%. The centre pole is a key element of the design, minimally decreasing trap efficiency. Finally, field comparisons with the trap of Sherman et al. (2014) yielded comparable estimates of vertical sand flux. The trap described in this paper provides accurate estimates of sand transport in a wide range of field conditions.

Q: git ssh command on aws lamda git layer error I'm running simple-git on AWS Lambda with a GIT layer (https://github.com/lambci/git-lambda-layer) and everything works fine until I use .env('GIT_SSH_COMMAND', 'ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i ...') with a custom SSH key - it throws spawn git ENOENT.
Works perfectly fine with the SSH key on the localhost, error happens only on lambda and only with the GIT_SSH_COMMAND env.
Any ideas why is this happening?

*

*Node 14 (Lambda)

*GIT 2.29.0 (via lambda layer)

*Lambda layer is installed properly, it works without GIT_SSH_COMMAND

A: Check where ssh is referenced in the PATH (which ssh), and use the full path of the ssh executable in your GIT_SSH_COMMAND
.env('GIT_SSH_COMMAND',
     '/full/path/ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i ...')

Make a big pan of M&M Peanut Butter Dream Bars next time you need a sweet treat for a crowd!
Right now I'm working on creating a stockpile of treats in my freezer so that I really can take time off from making things in the kitchen over the holidays and just enjoy my family. There's the usual Christmas treats, but I'm also going to make this deliciousness again…I mean M&Ms, peanut butter, bar cookies…what's not to like? My family couldn't get enough of these. Best served with a cold glass of milk, I found this recipe in a old church cookbook…old as in they used oleo, which I swapped out for butter. This is a great dessert for a crowd around the holidays or for a big game. I love that you make one crumbly mixture that used in both the crust and the topping. These bars come together really quickly and are simple to make.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 10x15* baking sheet with foil and grease lightly.
In a large bowl, mix together oatmeal, flour brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Add melted butter, mix until well combined and the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Reserve 1½ cups of the crumb mixture and press the remaining crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, stir together sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter. Spread over the warm, partially baked crust within about ¼ inch of the edge.
Mix together reserved crumbs and candy pieces. Sprinkle over peanut butter layer and press down lightly.
Bake another 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
*You can make this in a 9x13 pan, just add a few minutes to each of the baking times.

New Subway Proves Popular on Opening Day
Newest HUB eatery to provide campus with "Late Night" dining options
By Ross French on January 25, 2013

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (www.ucr.edu) — The newest on-campus dining option at the University of California, Riverside opened quietly on Wednesday, January 23. But by midday, with a line snaking out the door and two production lines running full time, it was clear the word was out: UCR's long-awaited Subway was open.
Across campus, students could be seen enjoying their sandwiches. Some were so impressed that they took to Twitter to tell the world about the opening.
"The subway at UCR is now open!" posted @dianawendolinne. The UCR American Sign Language Club celebrated by posting links to "Subway-related" words in sign language.

According to David Henry, director of residential dining for Dining Services, the store had spent several days doing test runs with various campus groups to allow employees to practice making the custom sandwiches. The first sale was made to student Vania Molina at 7:48 a.m., and by the end of the day the store had sold about 1,000 subs.
"I had good customer service and the sandwich was delicious and tasted fresh," Molina said. "I think it's awesome that we have a Subway on campus. I couldn't wait for it to finally open."
But even with the huge demand, customers were not subjected to huge waiting times as the Subway is one of the few in the country to feature a double-line configuration, with two sets of "sandwich artists" making the vast variety of subs.
"We built it that way because we knew the store would be very popular," Henry said. "This way, during peak hours, we can have both lines open and produce twice as many sandwiches. When it isn't as busy, we can just have one line open."
Henry said that the store's prices would compare favorably with other area Subway franchises, despite UCR's higher overhead costs.
"We did compare prices with the other area Subways and we are right at their price point," Henry said.
Students will also be happy to know that the Subway will feature the special $5-foot-long sandwiches that the brand is famous for, and that they had a hand in making that happen.
"We originally were not planning on doing '$5-foot-longs' and had contractually opted out of offering them, due to the cost," Henry said. "But we saw some comments online that students wanted them, which led us to have internal conversations. Eventually we reached out to Cal State Northridge to ask about their experience selling the sandwich and they replied that it had been a very positive and that we should consider it. So we did."
"We did it because we knew our students would be disappointed if we didn't," added Cheryl Garner, executive director of dining, catering and conference services. "We heard them."

Subway will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Fridays and from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday. It is closed on Saturday.
Henry said that the late evening hours during the week, combined with those at Latitude 55 and the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, will give the campus a new set of after-hours dining options that Dining Services is calling "Late Night Eats."
"During the week, the grill at Latitude 55 will stay open until 8, and Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is open until midnight. With Subway open until 10, it will give the campus a diverse set of dining options that students haven't had before."
A grand opening event is scheduled for Tuesday, February 5 at 4 p.m. In addition to promoting the availability of "Late Night Eats," they will be offering a special buy one-get one promotion.
Subway is the third national franchise to open in the Highlander Union Building complex, joining popular eateries Panda Express and Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Like many non-traditional Subway stores, such as those found in malls, airports and other universities, the UCR Subway will not accept national Subway coupons.
"It is fairly common for Subways like ours, stores that do not need to build a customer base, to not accept gift cards or coupons," Garner explained.

The development belongs to the Italian Piaggio Group, particularly to its newly formed branch - Piaggio Fast Forward. The device is designed for transportation of small loads such as luggage or shop purchases. According to promotional video, it will also be used for the express delivery of goods to customers.
Gita operates in two modes. The first one implies constant owner following. The user puts stuff into the inner compartment of the robot, puts on a special belt with the built in camera required for device management and goes about his business. The robot follows him. Gita can also move on its own, but it should walk along with the owner for some time to memorize the main routes.
A special 3D maps SLAM system helps the robot with navigation. Once it receives a signal from the camera, it immediately generates a detailed three-dimensional map of the surrounding space. Mathematical data processing allows Gita to accurately identify its own position and the position of the owner. Sensors, sonars and cameras allow the robot to keep on track, go round all obstacles and not get into an accident.
maximum movement speed of is 35 km/h and its load capacity is 18 kg. The final cost of the device is not known yet. Currently, the robot is undergoing final tests, and if Gita succeeds, it will be put up for a bulk sale.


Dr Roberts is knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate. This was my first experience with an ND, and I wish I would have gone to see her sooner!
Excellent care and attention! Went above and beyond to help me with my complicated case.
I think Dr. Roberts showed the greatest care for my well being of any Doctor that I have seen in the last decade. Thank you!
Would highly recommend Dr Kristina. She has helped me tremendously!
Dr. Kristina is one of the most thorough and caring health care providers I have ever had the pleasure of working with...and I've had a lot in my number of years, believe me! She really goes above and beyond to help get to the bottom of health issues and has a myriad of solutions to offer. I am really happy with what she has been able to do for me so far and look forward to a long and prosperous relationship. I can't say enough about her skills and knowledge, and her caring for patients is beyond wonderful.
Love my Doctor, Kristina Roberts, she is smart, kind, caring and gives a person hope.....just what I've been looking for someone to help me address my issues and not putting me in a group treating me as an individual. She is AWESOME!

I have volunteered to help rescue the Memorial Gardens of Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue and Sanctuary in Elverta, CA. Through this work, our volunteer army hopes to support the rescue of more beautiful golden retrievers. Gardens are like paintings; a blank canvas and clutter of colors taking shape in imagination of the artist. These gardens require a great deal of imagination right now. But from this pile of weeds, my garden buddy and I we hope to make magic for the goldens of Homeward Bound.

Why Automakers Want 4G Inside Cars
Here's what automakers can do when cars have built-in smartphone capabilities.
By Neal Ungerleider 3 minute Read
This article contains an interview with Phil Abram, GM chief infotainment officer.
It's no secret that cars are trying to replicate the smartphone experience. Touchscreen interfaces are common in today's cars, dashboard designers take UI tips from iPhones, and automakers want to build apps for cars. And starting this year, large automakers like General Motors are taking the next obvious step and integrating 4G LTE service into their cars. Drivers pay a monthly service fee for in-car 4G that's separate from their smartphones, and use it for an array of services from movies for kids in the backseat to sophisticated GPS-on-steroids solutions. It's a win-win for automakers, the dealers who sell the 4G add-ons, and carriers like AT&T. But is it a win for consumers?
Audi, the first major automaker to introduce 4G connectivity, debuted the option in their 2015 A3 car. GM is adding 4G capability to nearly all of their 2015 Buick models, and 4G is also rolling out to Chevrolet and Dodge within the year. While some luxury cars have come with built in 3G in the past, there are two major game changers here: Both GM and Audi are aggressively targeting middle-market consumers, and 4G viewers tend to consume a whole lot of bandwidth-intensive video content which generates expensive data fees.
Photo by Noah Berger for Buick
Phil Abram, GM's chief infotainment officer (a job title which does actually exist) is the man responsible for rolling out interactive content and delivery systems for Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac, and other brands. When Co.Labs held a video chat with Abram earlier this month, he said that the 2015 Buick LeSabre, the first GM model with 4G, debuted in June and the company will add 4G to 30 more models by the end of the year. New car buyers would be given a 3 gigabyte trial and data plans would be set up by AT&T. The cheapest $5 plan offers 250 megabytes usable in a 24-hour period; monthly plans range from $5 for 200 megabytes to $50 for 5 gigabytes a month. These fees piggyback on top of existing OnStar telematics packages, which start at $20 a month.
"We looked closely at other device pricing plans," Abram added. "The use case of cars is different than phones."
In promotional materials, Audi and GM both emphasize 4G LTE service as a mechanism for users to get in-car entertainment, rather than for navigation or safety monitoring. Buick boasts they can "Keep everyone happy with streamed movies, music, and games," while Audi emphasizes "faster downloads and high-definition video streaming for up to eight devices used by passengers over the in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot."
Smartphone and car convergence has been happening for quite some time, and in-car 4G allows automakers to solve the vexing customer issue of answering demand to integrate smartphones without sacrificing safety or usability, while simultaneously pushing a lucrative car option to market. Audi is offering drivers their a new and data-intensive navigation system, which feeds the dashboard with information on nearby gas stations, restaurants, and all sorts of Google Earth overlays. GM, meanwhile, is revamping their previously 2G Onstar system to take advantage of the new data possibilities.
And then, naturally, there are the auto dealerships. In-car 4G hotspots are potentially lucrative business–especially when there's a $50 monthly fee attached. It's a safe bet to assume dealers will give the hard sell to families with young children in the backseat or businesspeople who constantly travel by car. Beyond the obvious use cases of Netflix and data-heavy navigation systems, 4G LTE service also means drivers can send SMS text messages by voice dictation, can have their seatmates shop on Amazon while they drive, and take advantage of a whole set of use cases. While drivers and passengers might not necessarily need high-speed Internet in their cars, it's arrived on the market… and it's a safe bet to say we'll see it in most new cars sooner rather than later.

Огненный смерч (огненный торнадо) — атмосферное явление, образующееся при объединении множества очагов горения.

Механизм
Огненный смерч может возникнуть в результате пожара, извержения вулкана или бомбардировки территории. Отдельные очаги горения соединяются в один обширный. Воздух над ним сильно нагревается и начинает подниматься вверх. В этот процесс втягиваются холодные воздушные массы, прибывающие с периферии горения. Они ещё сильнее раздувают пламя и создают устойчивые центростремительные потоки, которые могут достигать высоты до пяти километров. Раскалённый до 500—800 ˚C воздух вращается с ураганными скоростями. Всё, что находится рядом с эпицентром огненного смерча, сгорает либо плавится.

Примеры возникновения

Случаи возникновения огненного смерча были зафиксированы во время Великого лондонского пожара в 1666 году, Московского пожара в 1812 году, Великого чикагского пожара в 1871 году и Пожара в Салониках в 1917 году. Явление также наблюдалось в ходе лесных пожаров 2014 года в Мексике и 2016 года в США. Известно и множество других случаев.

Воздушные бомбардировки вызвали появление огненного смерча летом 1942 года в Сталинграде, в 1943 году в Гамбурге и Вуппертале, в 1945 году в Дрездене, Токио и Хиросиме.

Towering high above the western North Carolina town of Sylva, The Pinnacle is a knobby, craggy peak that rises from the edge of the Plott Balsam mountain range. The views from the rocky summit are sublime, stretching over the surrounding Appalachian peaks to the far-distant horizon.
The journey to the summit makes for a fantastic, strenuous, upward hike through a scenic, creek-filled forest on Pinnacle Park's West Fork Trail. The hike is challenging, but exceptionally rewarding. The trails meander through a beautiful hardwood forest, and the summit views at the end of this out-and-back hike are simply unforgettable. The Pinnacle's sun-drenched rock outcrops offer a great spot to soak in views of the nearby Blackrock Mountain and the Plott Balsams, the town of Sylva, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the neighboring Great Smoky Mountains on the northern horizon.
The hike racks up over 1800 feet of elevation gain in the outbound 3.5 miles, so it's a challenging one, for sure – and the hike's initial rocky climb along a boulder-crusted old roadbed makes for a great, calf-burning workout. But the summit's views are a fantastic, rewarding payoff for the effort.
The hike begins at the Pinnacle Park trailhead, north of Sylva, NC (view maps and driving directions). A wooden kiosk marks the trailhead; the hiking trails and backcountry sites at the park are free, but require a permit (available at the trailhead kiosk) before starting the hike. The hike skirts around a metal gate, following the trail northbound. In just under a tenth of a mile, the trail reaches a small spillway dam and waterfall on Fisher Creek, the remains of the Sylva's former watershed that occupied the park before its conversion to recreation land in the 1990s.
The hike begins a nearly relentless climb to the Plott Balsam ridgeline, following purple and gold trail blazes through a ferny, mossy hardwood forest. The trail passes a small campsite before reaching a trail fork at .3 mile; from here, this hike veers left, following the West Fork Trail and hiking northwest. The sound of falling water fills the forest as the West Fork Trail continues to climb elevation, reaching a towering, split rock outcrop with an enormous fissure at .5 miles.
The West Fork Trail arcs to the southwest at .6 mile, crossing Fisher Creek and passing a small series of cascading waterfalls.
Towering, old-growth oak shade gnarly-branched rhododendron as The Pinnacle Trail begins to level at 2.25 miles. The trail's gentle rolling elevation is a welcome break from the nearly continuous climb. The trail is scenic in every season, with through-the-trees views framed by towering hardwoods. But it's an especially beautiful hike in late spring, with the blooming of the trail's abundant rhododendron, and in fall, when autumn paints the towering deciduous forest in vibrant hues.
The trail arcs southbound, winding through the forest. The hike rolls over a small knob at 2.8 miles, tunneling through dense rhododendron and mountain laurel thickets. The trail reaches a campsite at 3.2 miles. The hike continues on the opposite, south side of the campsite, ducking through dense rhododendron on a tight, narrow singletrack trail. And, suddenly, the trail breaks through the cover, and the sun-drenched summit is dead ahead.
A careful scramble up The Pinnacle offers stunning views, but the summit's drop-offs are steep and sudden, so some caution is needed to navigate out to the craggy peak. The town of Sylva is easily visible to the south, and the towering peak of Blackrock Mountain, another of the park's hiking destinations, dominates the near horizon to the northeast. Exceptional, mountainous views wrap around the summit in every direction.
After soaking up the views (and grabbing a few Instagram-worthy shots), the hike flips in reverse in a nearly continuous downhill trek to the trailhead. The hike reaches the trailhead at 6.5 miles, completing the adventure.
In the area with some energy left to burn? Explore the stunning and remote stretches of the Shining Rock Wilderness, including the exceptional hike on the Art Loeb Trail to Shining Rock and the calf-burning climb to Cold Mountain. To the northwest, explore the rugged stretches of the Smoky Mountains on a hike to Chimney Tops, or follow the Alum Cave Trail to Mt LeConte to score some epic summit views. Or cross the Georgia border to the south, and follow the Bartram Trail to Pinnacle Knob, climbing to beautiful views from this similarly-named peak.
Free parking is available at the trailhead; donations accepted (and encouraged). Permit required (free; fill out the provided form at the trailhead).

The number of rough sleepers in Exeter has fallen compared with this time last year.
There are currently 35 people sleeping rough in the city, and of those 29 are male, and six are female. It marks a reduction on last year's figure of 41 people.
A rough sleepers count was recently carried out by Julian House, a specialist homeless outreach service in Exeter. It offers a rapid response to rough sleeping and builds positive relationships with the aim of providing a sustainable move away from the streets.
Exeter city councillor Emma Morse, lead councillor for people, said: "Even one person sleeping rough on our streets is one person too many but we are pleased that there has been a reduction on last year's figures and we are moving in the right direction.
Exeter City Council recently announced it will not be providing a dedicated homeless shelter in the city this winter as it has been unable to find a suitable site.
Instead 15 extra emergency beds will be provided at Gabriel House in the city centre - almost a third less than last winter.
However, the extra beds will be available from December 1, which means the winter provision has been extended by a month, and will run until the end of March.
Last year, vacant shop Richard Aquatics in Market Street, now Bike Bank, was used for a 40-bed night shelter. Although it proved popular, the council says the shelter was never at full capacity. The unit wasn't available this year as it is currently being used by a social enterprise that trains adults to refurbish unwanted bikes.


Episode 6442 in 2016 saw the introduction of the Morgan brothers—Justin, Brody and Mason—siblings to the already established character of Tori. Their arrival in Summer Bay coincided with the debut of a new residence to house the family and their Boxer dog, Buddy.
The real-life house, used for exterior scenes, is nestled on Harley Road in the frequently used suburb of Avalon Beach, close to other locations such as the Braxton House and Palmer House.

Q: Opening DB connection for each method in class I have written a controller class which contain many methods performing some database transactions. For each method object of DBConnect class is created. I want to know which of the following way is more efficient.
(1) opening connection for each method (as in attached code)
(2) opening a single connection for the class and using it in all the methods of that class
my code is:
public class HotelController
{
    Connection conn;
    ResultSet rs;
    PreparedStatement preparedstatement;

    public void addNewHotel( Hotel hotel ) throws Exception
    {
        try
        {
            conn = DBConnect.getInstance().getConnect();
            String sql = "insert into hotel" + " (hotelName,city) values (?,?)";
            preparedstatement = conn.prepareStatement( sql );
            preparedstatement.setString( 1, hotel.getName() );
            preparedstatement.setString( 2, hotel.getCity() );

            boolean flag = preparedstatement.execute();
            if ( flag )
            {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( null, "Hotel Details Added Successfully." );
            }
        }
        catch ( SQLException ex )
        {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public int getHotelID( String name ) throws Exception
    {
        int id = 1;
        try
        {
            conn = DBConnect.getInstance().getConnect();
            String sql = "select hotelID from hotel where hotelName = ?";
            preparedstatement = conn.prepareStatement( sql );
            preparedstatement.setString( 1, name );
            rs = preparedstatement.executeQuery();

            while ( rs.next() )
            {
                id = rs.getInt( 1 );
            }
        }
        catch ( SQLException ex )
        {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
        return id;
    }

    public void loadHotels( JComboBox cbox ) throws Exception
    {
        try
        {
            conn = DBConnect.getInstance().getConnect();
            String sql = "select hotelName from hotel";
            preparedstatement = conn.prepareStatement( sql );
            rs = preparedstatement.executeQuery();

            while ( rs.next() )
            {
                cbox.addItem( rs.getString( "hotelName" ) );
            }
        }
        catch ( SQLException ex )
        {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
        finally {

        }
    }

}

A: Try using Connection Pool, Because Opening/Closing database connections is an expensive process and hence connection pools improve the performance of execution of commands on a database for which we maintain connection objects in the pool. It facilitates reuse of the same connection object to serve a number of client requests. Every time a client request is received, the pool is searched for an available connection object and it's highly likely that it gets a free connection object. Otherwise, either the incoming requests are queued or a new connection object is created and added to the pool.Since most of the requests are served using existing connection objects only so the connection pooling approach brings down the average time required for the users to wait for establishing the connection to the database.

I was once invited by a coaching supervisor to depict a live piece of work with a client. I focused on a forthcoming assignment in Asia and drew a diagram representing the different people involved, the relationships between them and the explicit and implicit agendas. I drew a solid line between myself and the key client representing 'strategy' (explicit agenda) and a dotted line representing my underlying expertise in 'psychological dynamics' (implicit agenda).
She challenged me to re-draw my dotted line as a solid line, to do it and not simply to imagine how I might feel if I was to do it. This proved to be a profound and pivotal moment for me in grasping Gestalt. As I picked up the pen and drew the line, I felt a sudden, powerful and unexpected surge of confidence arise within me. It convinced me to approach the contract with the client in more confident, proactive mode and to raise my implicit value to the explicit level.
In a later coaching session, I worked with a client who explained she felt stressed working with a particular colleague on a board of trustees. I noticed how physically animated she was as she spoke and so I suggested we might explore the issue using a physical experiment, drawing on Gestalt. She was keen to try it out so I invited her to recreate the board room where we were, to sit me where her colleague sits and to brief me on how he behaves.
She left the room, re-entered and immediately stiffened and looked tense. I reflected this back, along with how tense I now felt as she approached me in role. In order to create and evoke a contrasting experience, I invited her to practice physical loosening before entering the room. She discovered a dance-like movement that helped her relax, increased her confidence and provided an alternative entry style. The difference and impact was transformational.
Strategic thinking is about keeping the big picture in view. It's often about asking the right questions, questions that frame or reframe an issue and place it in a broader perspective. It's about stepping back, raising awareness, challenging assumptions, discerning what's most important. This demands listening to God, our environment, ourselves and each other.
In order to do this well, we need to develop an ability to step back from immediate detail, plans and activity. Imagine yourself with a camera. It's about zooming out to see the wider landscape, the 'what else' that can go unnoticed. It's often the bigger frame that makes sense of what we're seeing when we zoom in. It provides context, a basis for meaning-making.
The value of stepping back mentally, metaphorically zooming out in this way, is that we can re-evaluate our priorities, our direction, what we're spending time and resources on, how we're approaching things, whether we're focusing on the right things, whether we're allowing ourselves to become distracted by things that are not adding optimum value.
Take successive steps back until the questions you are asking draw the wider external environment and future considerations into account (as above). Now you are likely to be approaching a strategic level. The further you step back, the more research it is likely to entail. It's about moving outwards from your normal frame of reference to consider wider issues that may prove pivotal.
What all these questions do so far is to develop an awareness of 'what else is in the picture that we should take account of in our key decisions?' In other words, they focus on the 'what'. The next stage involves discernment, or the 'so what'. What does all you've been thinking about, looking at, exploring and researching point towards that could be significant?
The process as a whole is about learning to plan with our eyes open. It's about seeking to be open, exercising wise judgement and making sound decisions. In light of the fluid, rapidly changing and often unpredictable environments that many organisations are facing these days, strategic review and re-focus is now more often an on-going than periodic venture.

Mayor: Budapest agglomeration public transport funded until Feb 17

Budapest, January 8 (MTI) – Public transport services to the agglomeration areas of Budapest are sure to operate until February 17, when the city's new municipal budget is scheduled for approval, Mayor of Budapest Istvan Tarlos, said.
In talks with Prime Minister Viktor Orban in December last year it was agreed that Budapest has no obligation to finance transport in the agglomeration area, Tarlos told a press conference. However, the meeting with Orban "brought much less result than I had hoped for", Tarlos said.
On the subject of Budapest's 2016 budget, Tarlos said current estimates projected an operating deficit of 12 billion forints (EUR 38m), of which the cost of operating the public transport service in the agglomeration made up 10 billion forints. Tarlos said a budget cannot be planned with any operating deficit and added that there is zero funding available for any extra tasks taken on voluntarily, without going into details.
Regarding an earlier agreement between the Budapest Transport Centre (BKK) and the economy ministry, Tarlos said the ministry had not transferred "a single forint" to BKK in 2015 for agglomeration transport costs, and that BKK had sent a notice regarding this matter to the ministry. He said the ministry had 15 days to find a solution to the problem.
In response to a question Tarlos said he did not rule out running for re-election as mayor for his third term in 2019.
The leftist opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) said Tarlos's press conference had been "useless" for Budapesters, as there was no information provided on the situation of public transport company BKV or the financing of community transport services in the agglomeration area. Tarlos did not say anything about how the 20-billion-forint hole in the budget would be plugged, Erzsebet Gy Nemeth, councillor for DK in the Budapest Assembly, said in a statement. She said she advised Tarlos against running in the mayoral race again.
The opposition Egyutt party said it is unacceptable that Tarlos "wants to stop public transport services to the agglomeration after Feb 17" and added that it is the mayor himself who should lead protest against financing problems. Marton Pataki, head of Egyutt's Budapest chapter, said it was clear that there had not been any agreement reached between the central government and Budapest about the financing of agglomeration transport and that the December meeting between Orban and Tarlos was "completely fruitless". Tarlos should resign if he cannot do his job instead of mulling running for re-election, Pataki said.
The Jobbik party said the comments of the mayor and the prime minister on public transport funding in recent months have "raised more questions than the answers they provided". The party said in a statement that the two politicians have left Budapest residents and people who work in the capital facing uncertainty. Jobbik said the mayor and the prime minister should be working to make sure that the hundreds of thousands of people living in and around Budapest can get to work and school comfortably and safely.
