Living gluten-free is not a choice for me. It is something that I have to do every second of every hour. Every hour of every day. Every day of every month. May is no different than any of the other eleven months when it comes to what I eat but it is different in that May is my month. It is Celiac Awareness Month, a time to recognize those programs that support me and everyone else who is gluten-free. The Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG) is a leading organization in empowering my gluten-free community through consumer support, advocacy and education. Their outreach includes local support groups, educational resources for my benefit and a kids' group to assist gluten-free families. They are a non-profit organization with all donations going towards these outreach programs that make living gluten-free for me that much easier. To celebrate me during my month of May, please provide a gift on my behalf to GIG and allow these great programs to continue with their efforts for my cause.

It came as a surprise that she was going to vote against VTA's Measure B on November 8. She said that she was tired of all the "measures which ask her for money every year." We will be working with her and the Peace and Justice Center to help more people learn about our group, and grow together.
One more thing: more on our stance on Measure B will be posted later this week. Some of our recent posts will give you a hint on where our group will go with this stance.

"Tortuga is a sweet little tortoise who lives in a garden. She is the subject of a story I tell in some of my presentations about Walt Disney.
"The tortoise also exemplifies a profound secret of success. As in the story of 'the tortoise and the hare,' tortoises are very persistent. They may move slowly most of the time, but when they want to go somewhere, you can distract them with food, or move them to a different path. They may stop for a minute to eat the food, but then they head back to their original path, on toward their determined destination.

Throughout history, transportation networks have always been the cornerstone of any successful settlement. Middletown was no different, as the colonial road known as the "King's Highway" was the baseline around which the town was laid out. The town of Middletown, first settled in 1664, consisted of 36 "lotts" bifurcated by the Kings Highway, which was actually an old American Indian path known as the Minisink Path. In fact, many of the first New Jersey towns were laid out more or less within the loose frameworks of surviving American Indian features. Routes traversed by American Indians were favored by the colonists because of their proximity to higher ground surfaces away from ravines, steep slopes, bogs, streams, and marshy ground. One of the consequences however, of a sparse indigenous population was that many of these roads fell into disuse, as exemplified by stretches of trees and brush that had grown over the pathways by the time of colonial settlement. As a result, one of the first tasks of the new settlers was to clear and upgrade the path to meet the demands of the 17th-century colonists. Kings Highway upon completion was six rods, or 99 feet in width.
The design of Middletown, with individual lots fronting the main road followed the New England system, whereby landowners resided on lots in the village, with most of their land situated on outlying lots. Many of the structures/sites built on the village lots along Kings Highway during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries still stand today. These include Christ Church (ca. 1836 on a ca. 1670 foundation), Old First Church (ca. 1832 on a ca. 1688 footprint), Dutch Reformed Church (ca. 1836), Old Presbyterian Burying Ground (ca. 1684), Truex Blacksmith Shop (ca. 1825), Marlpit Hall (ca. 1686), Taylor-Butler House (ca. 1853) and over a dozen, privately owned 17th, 18th and 19th-century dwellings.
While Kings Highway formed the nucleus of a settlement borne of honest, hard-working men and women, it was also the scene of nefarious acts committed by some of the most notorious outlaws in the colonies. Around the turn of the 18th century Moses Butterworth, a resident of Middletown and associate of the famed pirate Captain Kidd, escaped imprisonment and eventual execution from a blockhouse located on the site of Christ Church by traveling along Kings Highway toward Raritan Bay. In the early 18th century another pirate, Blackbeard and his band were in the process of raiding the town for supplies. They were met by an angry mob of townspeople in a bloody confrontation on Kings Highway in front of Christ Church near the present-day Church Street intersection.
Kings Highway was also a major thoroughfare during the colonial period, even serving as the retreat route for British soldiers on their way to Sandy Hook Bay following the Battle of Monmouth. Along the way, they occupied the Old First Church building on Kings Highway for use as a barracks/hospital before leaving for Sandy Hook. The Anonymous Spy Map of Monmouth County, a fascinating document from the Revolutionary War that still survives, depicts King's Highway among other local roads complete with distances between houses to assist the local Tories (loyalists to King George) in their provisional raids. Many of these Tories were direct descendants of the first settlers who owned lots along Kings Highway. During the Civil War, Colonel William Truex drilled troops along Kings Highway in front of the blacksmith shop that still bears his name. These troops would eventually see action in Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C.
In 1919, Kings Highway underwent a fairly significant realignment. As part of an upgrade to several area roads, a section of Kings Highway was shifted northward in the vicinity of Middletown Village School. As a result, Marlpit Hall was moved fifty feet north of its original location, to where it stands today.
Traveling down Kings Highway today is simply following in the footsteps of where our Middletown ancestors have walked for thousands of years. The numerous buildings, intersections and sites that still remain provide tangible reminders of the way Middletown used to be, and hopefully will continue to be for generations to come.

Джованни-Баттиста Франко, также Баттиста Франко Венецианец, прозванный Самолей (Самоед) (); около 1510 г., Венеция — 1561, Венеция) — итальянский живописец, рисовальщик и гравёр, представитель маньеризма. Работал в Риме, Урбино и Венеции в середине XVI века.

Биография
Сын Якопо, он родился в Венеции, вероятно, около 1510 года. В биографии, которую ему посвятил Джорджо Вазари в своих «Жизнеописаниях наиболее знаменитых живописцев, ваятелей и зодчих» (1550; 1568) сообщается, что в возрасте двадцати лет он поселился в Риме, где начал копировать произведения своих современников, особенно Микеланджело. Первые годы были посвящены рисованию, между 1535 и 1536 годами появлялись его живописные работы.

В марте 1536 года Баттиста Франко участвовал под руководством Антонио да Сангалло в подготовке оформления праздника по случаю приезда в Рим Карла V. Во Флоренции он работал над оформлением свадьбы герцога Алессандро Медичи с Маргаритой Австрийской, отпразднованной 29 июня 1536 года. В тот же период он начал изучать и рисовать статуи Микеланджело в Новой cакристии церкви Сан-Лоренцо. Работал вместе с Б. Амманати и переехал жить в его дом. После смерти Алессандро Медичи (1537) по рекомендации Вазари, поступил на службу к герцогу Козимо I.

Художник умер внезапно, возможно, из-за отравления. Его сын Джакомо Франко стал гравёром и издателем эстампов.

Творчество
Его живопись в стиле маньеризма во многом обязана произведениям Микеланджело; но его рисунки и гравюры более оригинальны. Он вернулся в Венецию, где помог расписать потолок Библиотеки Марчиана. Он написал серию панно, в том числе «Крещение Христа» (в капелле Барбаро), для стен и свода капеллы Гримани в церкви Сан-Франческо-делла-Винья в Венеции. В этом городе художник создавал преимущественно картины для украшения триумфальных арок, временно воздвигавшихся по разным случаям, плафоны и настенные фрески в церквях и дворцах и другие декоративные работы.

Кроме живописи занимался гравированием в технике офорта и сухой иглы, наиболее известны гравюры: «Жертвоприношение Авраама», «Благовещение Марии», «Поклонение пастухов», «Отрок-Христос проповедует в Иерусалимском храме», «Воскресение Христа», «Бичевание Христа» (по картине Тициана) и «Амур и Психея в купальне».

A website that proves how digital can aid the traditional selling process.
Jewson wanted a website that would generate better leads and help customers build their dream kitchens.
With their Kitchens branch, Jewson addresses both trade clients and home owners; therefore the website had to satisfy the needs of two different audience types.
To help us understand what makes Jewson's customers 'click' we conducted some UX (user experience) research. Working together we created a series of personas based on Jewson's actual customers to give us ideas about the website users goals and motivations.
From this, we could prioritise the journeys and content needed to fulfil common objectives to make sure this was the focus of the website's structure and design.
The design was made responsive to deliver a great user experience across all screen sizes, especially for Jewson's growing number of mobile users.Their journey towards owning the perfect kitchen can now move smoothly from their computer to their tablet or phone and back again.
As ecommerce continues to grow and consumers' decision-making behaviour changes, relying more and more on online research; brick and mortar business such as Jewson need to adapt and deliver the best customer experiences.
The Jewson Kitchens website is a great example of how a traditional selling process can be improved using digital experiences. The secure 'My Kitchen' area lets you register and create your own profiles; here you can record your favourite kitchen ranges and accessories.
You can then send this information with some details about your kitchen at home to a Jewson's Kitchen Specialists ahead of your appointment. With these details, Jewson can start working on your dream kitchen before you even step into the showroom.
Also as a registered user you can also use the kitchen comparison tool, saving you from going back and forth between all the kitchen ranges, making it easier for you to find your favourites.
We have seen the use of mobiles and tablets steadily increasing from our website visitors. This new-look responsive site aims to provide users with a better overall experience from Jewson, and forms part of our ongoing strategy to invest in our digital channels.

Not in Print: playwrights off script - on inspiration, process and theatre itself
Currency Press believes in theatre that raises more questions than answers, so we're talking to Australian playwrights about their work, getting insights straight from the source
Asylum Seeker
'The law of sexual assault spins on the wrong axis': Suzie Miller on her play, Prima Facie
"Five years at law school,
eleven years of practice,
I have always believed.
Now I need to know that I was not mistaken."
In this episode we spoke with playwright Suzie Miller about her award winning play, Prima Facie.
Winner of the 2018 Griffin Award, Prima Facie is an indictment of the Australian legal system's failure to provide reliable pathways to justice for women in rape, sexual assault or harassment cases. It's a work of fiction, but one that could have been ripped from the headlines of any paper, any day of the week, so common you could cry.
Tessa is a criminal lawyer at the top of her game who knows the law permits no room for emotion.
To win, you just need to believe in the rules. And Tessa loves to win, even when defending clients accused of sexual assault.
Her court-ordained duty trumps her feminism. But when she finds herself on the other side of the bar, Tessa is forced into the shadows of doubt she's so ruthlessly cast over other women.
Turning Sydney's courts of law into a different kind of stage, Suzie Miller's (Sunset Strip, Caress/Ache) taut, rapid-fire and gripping one-woman show exposes the shortcomings of a patriarchal justice system where it's her word against his.
Prima Facie will be showing again at Griffin Theatre, 23 June - 10 July 2021. Tickets here: https://tinyurl.com/4j8kd74x
Grab copies of the script here: https://tinyurl.com/5zdjzr2y
Music by Grace Turner.
Thank you to Sarah Easterman for reading the excerpts from the play for this episode.

In an interview with Bluff Magazine, Kamberis stated he basically took last year off, and only participated in a few events like the PCA and WSOP. He even pared down his online schedule considerably. However, he went on to add, I'm coming back. Online, live everything. I'm going to remind people that I can play." And being added to the Brunson 10 ensures we'll be hearing a lot from the young poker pro in the future.

Home-brewed album doesn't show up in Roon [Multiple entries, Same Artist][Solved]
miguelito (Miguel Barrio) October 25, 2015, 2:17pm #1
I created an album out of a few tracks off of youtube (used Quicktime to extract the audio). Just FYI these tracks are not available anywhere for purchase.
Converted the tracks to AIFF 16/44, tagged them fully, put a picture as the art, gave the album a name, etc. This looks as an album just fine in iTunes, Audirvana, JRMC.
Roon will not show me these files. What gives?
Never mind, found it. Pretty hard to do given Roon data obviously doesn't exist at all.
allineedis (Rob) October 25, 2015, 2:27pm #3
You totally cannot see the album? Then it might be something technical where roon cannot identify the converted tracks. Roon is rightly so in my opnion quite unforgiving with "non compliant" tracks. With non compliant I mean the technical part not the source.
If you can see it, but the album is blank you could try to edit the track fields to look at the tags instead of the roon data.
EDIT: our posts crossed. Good to see you sorted it. What was the solution?
Searched for the album and found it. But it's not getting grouped properly.
I've edited the tags within Roon, in most cases to tell it to use the file data. Now I can find it in Roon, but it doesn't get grouped with my other kosher albums.
For the fun of I renamed one of my artists an set roon to accept my tags instead of roon. As it appears, once roon has identified the artist it sticks with it, no matter what you do…
But since you have found the album or at least part of it and edited the rest of the information, it should group it under The Carpenters.
No clue as to why this is not happening…
It seems to me that Roon is not just grouping by name. The album is showing now as artist "The Carpenters" just somehow not the same "The Carpenters" as the ones Roon can find in it's database.
I would like to tell Roon when I edit the tags that this "The Carpenters" are indeed the same artist as "The Carpenters" it knows of.
So in other words, question for the Roon team: How do I tag this album so that the artist "The Carpenters" is grouped with "The Carpenters" Roon knows about?

Hey @miguelito – can you post two screenshots, one for each album details screen:
one of an album that's showing up properly, identified and credited to The Carpenters, and
one of the unidentified "home brew" album which is being attributed to a different "The Carpenters"
That should help us get a sense of what's happening here.

@mike: sent you a PM
mike (Mike Fass) October 26, 2015, 11:45pm #11
Thanks @miguelito – I got your media and took a look at this. I understand the issue, and it's not entirely straightforward, so first a couple baselines points to understand:
Editing in Roon is a work in progress – right now you have a good deal of control over how your music is displayed, and for most fields you can choose to display the data Roon has retrieved from our metadata service, the information that's in your tags, or any data you enter by hand in Roon.
What's not editable right now are the links displayed in Roon – so if any album is tied to a performer (either as the albums main performer, or via a credit), that link cannot currently be edited (although we will be changing that at some point in the future).
The second point to understand is the difference between main performers and album artist, which is a little counter intuitive at first, but which is ultimately a very flexible and powerful way to credit the albums in your collection. Consider the case of groups like James Brown & the Famous Flames or The Miles Davis Quintet – these groups released albums, but are they distinct from James Brown or Miles Davis, respectively?
It's really very subjective, but I think it's fair to say whether or not you consider them full fledged "artists" in your collection, you probably want their albums to appear on both pages, meaning on the James Brown & the Famous Flames page, and the James Brown page. This is why you sometimes see two rows under an album's name – one is the main performers of that album, and the other is the Album Artist, meaning whoever's name was on the cover or spine.
So, to explain your issue, first keep in mind that AllMusic considers the name of the group to be Carpenters, not The Carpenters. Also note that, in a wacky twist, they consider the album artist to be The Carpenters.
So, you can see below what shows up on the album's page. Note that because The Carpenters don't appear in any meaningful way in Roon's database, it's not an active link, as seen here:
Pasted image743×257 83.4 KB
Moving on, the home brew album has no match in Roon's metadata of course, so the tags are used as is. As such, the album is credited to The Carpenters, whereas all the identified albums are instead credited to Carpenters. So, they aren't grouped together under a single artist. Still with me? Incredible, if so
So, what can you do? I would recommend changing the tags in your home brew album to Carpenters, then rescan the album, and watch it magically group in with the other albums. Once Roon considers these to all be Carpenters albums, you can even edit the display name for the group in Roon if you'd prefer to see it displayed with The.
Phew. Does that make sense?

Voila! Makes perfect sense. You need a unique key representing the artist, and for better or for worse that happens to be "Carpenters". For all the albums you know about, you must have taken the artist in the released album, which say was "The Carpenters", but internally you have mapped it to the official "key" which is Carpenters. Completely understand.
Also learned that this mother key is the link in blue, had not realized that.
Thanks a lot, extremely helpful - and I don't think there's anything to fix.


The homes in Heritage Hunt were built to code. The problem is that "code" does not mean "comfortable." Built to code means the home was built to the safety standards set forth by the local municipality.
Unfortunately, the local municipality can currently only set safety standards, not comfort standards, resulting in inefficient homes that are drafty, uncomfortable, and the responsibility of the homeowner to correct.
Gable vents in Heritage Hunt are ornamental only, they have no purpose. In effect, the gable vents in your home are nothing more than a 2-foot hole in either side of your home that was beat through the wall with a hammer. In some cases, they have not been open to the interior spaces, other cases have.
Insulation baffles placed by the building contractor in the eaves of your home are made of cardboard. These are designed to keep the blown-in insulation out of the soffit vents, promoting air flow to the ridge vent on your roof.
Unfortunately, these can fail, causing the soffit vent to clog with insulation. Furthermore, once the soffit vent is clogged, its purpose has failed, moisture can set in, and that brings mold and mildew.
force air into your attic space—pressurizing it.
Blown-in insulation in the attic space over living areas is exposed to too much wind, suffers wind damage and is redistributed. This can leave some living areas uninsulated.
for your house to breathe.
Seals the home from drafts from the inside out.
Corrects any anomalies involving the attic insulation and baffle materials.
Corrects any air flow issues in the attic space while still allowing the proper air flow required for your house to breathe.
Only taking care of one, or just some, of these issues will not solve the entire problem.
Consider your house like a hose with multiple holes in it, if you block one hole the pressure increases at the other holes. Only once you have all the holes sealed will the problem go away.
Blown-in insulation used should be cellulose based, treated in Borax to set fireproofing. It should have a higher "R" value (the insulating value of the material) requiring less material to be used.
Insulation baffles should be larger, with locations securing the baffle to the roof sheathing itself, and should be made of a material that will not degrade when exposed to moisture, preferably with its own "R" factor.
The tax credits that were previously effective for only 2009 have been extended to 2010 as well. The tax credit has been raised to 30%! If you buy $300 worth of materials it will only cost you $210 after you take the $90 (30%) tax credit. This is money straight off your taxes.
Raised from $500 to $1500 for the two years (2009–2010).
Must be for taxpayer's principal residence.
Service must take place between Jan. 1, 2009 and Dec. 31, 2010.
For any service to qualify, its primary purpose must be to insulate (reduce heat gain or loss).
Installation costs are NOT included. If installed by a professional installer, you will need an invoice with the cost of materials and labor separated.
Improvement must be expected to last for more than 5 years.
Must have a Manufacturer Certification Statement.
Save a copy of the Certification Statement with your tax records. You do not need to send a copy with your IRS Tax Return.
Improvements made in 2009 will be claimed on your 2009 taxes (filed by April 15, 2010) — use IRS Tax Form 5695.

"After the project... (My wife) was moving things around in the attic, and had to call down for a flashlight because since we had the work done, the attic was dark, proving the sealing of the major air flow.
Our house is quieter now... Our neighbors agree. Their house was too after their project was done.

Finally, Baltimore has more to show off than McCormick and Natty Boh.
One of the only disappointing things about my abroad travels last year is the fact that I never made it to Ireland… but now I know I never really needed to leave the United States, or even Baltimore County, for that matter. Ireland is known for many great things, but perhaps the greatest is its beer — Guinness beer, to be exact. So, Baltimore residents and United States residents in general, it's time to rejoice: Guinness is coming to America for the first time in nearly 60 years.
Guinness will be coming to Baltimore County in the form of a 50 million dollar investment into a previously closed brewing facility. Construction is expected to start in the spring, with the brewery officially opening this fall, which just so happens to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Guinness beer being imported to the U.S.
The brewery will be "mid-sized" and will function as more of a tourist location than an actual brewery, with the addition of a restaurant and gift shop. Guinness is owned by the company Diageo, which also owns brands like Smirnoff and Johnnie Walker. The move by the company into Baltimore will create as many as 70 jobs and will contribute an estimated millions in beer tourism.
Unfortunately, if you're looking for the same exact thing they make in Dublin, you might be out of luck. Apparently the brewery is meant to be a "testing center" for new beers to be introduced into the U.S. market, while the classic Irish dry stout will still be manufactured in Dublin (although it'll still be imported to the U.S.).
So, you might have to wait a few months, but soon enough U.S. residents will have the opportunity to enjoy Guinness beer specially crafted for Americans. And if that doesn't have you feeling patriotic, even the governor of Maryland approves of the upcoming addition.


I started my working career as a commercial accountant in advertising, drafting and computing enterprises.
After twelve years I changed direction and entered into sales and marketing functions within the computer industry whilst maintaining financial control of three computer-related services within the same organisation.
The desire for another career change placed me into the private vocational education and training market where I worked for private providers in senior positions for another five years until I challenged myself further by entering TAFE NSW in the capacity of Commercial Client Services Manager/Business Development Manager with the primary responsibility of providing business and marketing strategies and support for 12 Institute Business and Marketing Managers across New South Wales, Australia over a fourteen year period.
Since relocating to Coffs Harbour I have participated as a business mentor and given back to the community by participating in relevant projects. One such project, President of Coffs Harbour Writers' Group http://www.coffsharbourwriters.com over a five year period has encouraged my desire to write, including life's stories about snip bits of life as in this blog.

How to Choose Leadership Assessment Software | Envision Global Leadership, Inc.
There are certain behaviors associated with effective leaders and assessments can provide an analysis of how closely a person's behaviors match desired leadership traits. This can help organizations make decisions about where to invest resources on development and training.
There are many tools that can be used to assess leadership competencies, but not all are created equal. You need to ensure the tool is behavior based—not based on evaluations and opinions—and includes feedback from a variety of people at different levels.
LeaderNAVTM is a unique leadership assessment software that assesses candidates using multi-source behavioral feedback. Compiling answers from over 100 questions, the Leadership MultiRater assessment provides insights about a candidate's emotional intelligence, leadership style, organizational engagement and derailers.
Once assessments from all candidates have been completed, LeaderNAVTM provides a single-page overview so executives, HR managers or talent developers can easily compare results and decide how best to invest resources. This allows an organization to make strategic decisions regarding leadership development.
While Envision Global Leadership offers a one-time analysis, we've also developed a licensing agreement for companies that want to perform ongoing leadership assessment in-house. We provide certification for HR professionals to properly administer the MultiRater assessments and supply in-depth training on how to use LeaderNAVTM to analyze the results. By licensing the software, you'll always be able to administer assessments to ensure your organization can quickly adapt to changing environments.
If your organization currently doesn't have an assessment and development plan in place—now is the best time to get started. Schedule a call to see how LeaderNAVTM can be seamlessly integrated into your business.
LeaderNAVTM was evolved from all of Jeff Evan's, PhD experience in executive leadership training and business organization. His work with individuals, groups and large companies gave him the insight needed to develop a leadership assessment solution that can be implemented in companies and run by talent development managers or human resources at regular intervals.

KYIV IS IN FRONT OF BUILDING A COMPLICATED, BUT NECESSARY DIALOGUE WITH WARSAW – EXPERT
Kyiv is standing in front of building a complicated, but necessary dialogue with Warsaw, which has reached a dead end in recent years. It is fair to say that both sides derailed the relations between Ukraine and Poland, however, this does not mean that Kyiv should wait for a full or partial reboot of the government in the neighboring country, moreover, this may not happen, according to political expert Valentyn Haidai.
"We should not forget that in both cases with Poland and with Russia one should differ between sociopolitical and economic dialogues. It is no secret that under conditions of political confrontation between the Ukrainian and Russian elites trade and economic cooperation between the two countries is growing. We can see the same situation in case with Poland," Haidai said in a program on the Expert Club YouTube channel.
In the expert's opinion, there is no especial confrontation between the political elites of both countries. Poland and Ukraine do not have any territorial disputes, despite the desire to revise the borders by certain marginal circles, or a sharp conflict related to humanitarian policy, as in the case of Hungary.
"Speaking about economic cooperation, it should be noted that it was estimated at more than EUR 7 billion at the beginning of this year, which is EUR 2 billion more than in 2015, and it continues growing even during the coronavirus pandemic. Ukrainian export to Poland has increased, just the same as Polish import to Ukraine did. An increase in trade, in particular, was registered in the following segments: mineral fertilizers, textile, mechanical and electric equipment, animal fat and metal goods. In addition, Ukraine is one of the largest recipients of Polish food. According to Statistics Poland, export of agricultural goods to Ukraine has grown by more than 20%," the political expert said.
As of the end of 2019, more than 400 joint enterprises operated in Ukraine and Poland in machine building, consumer goods and food industry, agriculture, etc. Cultural and scientific cooperation continues. Poland, which has a range of grant and scholarship programs, including the Eastern Studies, Stipend for Young Researchers and Krzysztof Skubiszewski Scholarship programs, is traditionally preferred by Ukrainian school graduates, postgraduate students and scientists.
"The problem is that if liberal Trzaskowski won, it is highly probable that Warsaw would take a step forward towards the normalization of relations with Kyiv on its own, while after the victory of conservative Duda in the presidential election the search for compromises was put off," Haidai said.

REVELATIONS Now At Amazon!
Terry James' just released book, REVELATIONS, is now available at Amazon. You can get it in paperback or in Kindle at the following.
Tyce Greyson is drawn ever deeper into intrigues first begun when an eerie accident in the Isle of Patmos cave changes his life forever…
From chapter 4 of REVELATIONS by Terry James…
The schedule was set. They would fly out of JFK at 12:45 p.m. the next day. But first he would do the news broadcast, preceded by and followed by promotion of the upcoming documentary series: Patmos Apocalypse.
He watched the laptop's screen as the computer pulled up the document.
Israel, the Sign
The tentative title given the manuscript ran through his mind, whispered by the voice of the Jewish man in the religious garb. It was as if the little man in the religious get-up had dictated the title. Greyson could think of none better.
Bressnick had promised him time and funding for pursuing research on the book. He would do the research in Jerusalem and other places in Israel. He could do so between times of filming the documentary, which he would narrate for the most part. –Telling his story and going over the dramatic prophecies he had uttered since the bite by the viper.
The remembered words of the short, rotund, television preacher he had become fond of watching on Sundays thundered in his head now, while the text scrolled on the laptop's screen.
"Have you noticed how Israel is condemned by practically every nation in the U.N? Have you noticed that even though Israel does nothing through aggressive actions toward the Palestinians,…and the PLO and other Islamic-Arab actors in the area murder Israeli Jews,…it is the Jews, it is Israel who is called the aggressors…the occupiers…the murderers?"
The questions burned into his reporter's curiosity. It was always the Arab states, the Islamists, that declared they would completely eradicate the Jewish state. –That vowed to push every last Jew into the Mediterranean.
The Arab coalition had indeed attempted to do just that on the historically notable occasions in1948 at Israel's rebirth into modernity. The Arab forces, under Nasser then Sadat had tried to destroy Israel in 1956, 1967 and 1973. They continued their blood-vow to erase Israel from being a nation.
Despite these rants, the rest of the world –with few exceptions– continued to declare Israel the problem. Israel must give in to the Palestinian demands that declared they wanted Israeli territory in exchange for peace. Yet the Arab enemies would never even recognize Israel as a legitimate state.
The Texas preacher's words echoed again in his mind's ear.
"The world hates Israel because that is the people out of whom the savior of the world…Jesus Christ…came into the world to seek and to save lost humanity. The Old Testament prophet, Zechariah, said it all in giving the end times declaration…"
The preacher had held up the big Bible, then placed it on the pulpit.
"Zechariah the prophet foretold the following," the preacher had said before reading from the scripture.
"The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it."
Tyce remembered the hours spent at the United Nations building. The constant diatribe against Israel. The delegations that got up from their seats when Benjamin Netanyahu or other Israeli spoke before the assembly. –How the vote against Israel was overwhelming in most every case when the Jewish state was at the center of controversy.
The Zechariah prophecy could already be considered to have come true, he pondered, looking again to the laptop's screen.
His own life was now being drawn irresistibly into the end of days drama, or whatsoever one might call it. Why and how had it happened? he had always considered such as in the same category as UFOs, ghost stories, and other matters. Things better suited to the fiction writers' pursuits than to journalists in pursuit of truth.
The Bible… he respected the Bible, having been raised a Catholic. But, as a journalist –a realist– the Bible was to be looked at as a great literary work –not as the very Word of God, as the Texas television preacher would have it.
Yet it was happening to him… Why him?… The Patmos visions, or whatsoever they were… The sudden celebrity from the…prophecies?
They had come true, those predictions… predictions he didn't even remember making during those news casts.
And the next newscast was now less than an hour and a half away. –The final newscast before heading to Patmos and to Israel and Jerusalem in pursuit of… His Trying to find out what might be his own part in all of this strangeness…

Fred J. Logan, Jr.
Maurer School of Law Distinguished Service Award (2009)
About Fred J. Logan, Jr.
Fred J. Logan, Jr. has been lauded for his seemingly unlimited civic commitment, his integrity, and his selfless work for the betterment of his community. Logan has lived and practiced in Johnson County, Kan., since his graduation from the Law School in 1977. He started a law firm there with his brother, Scott, and became involved in state and local politics. In 1987, Logan became state chairman of the Kansas Republican Party, making him – at that time – the youngest state leader of either major party in the United States. In his home county, Logan has filled leadership roles in a number of service organizations including St. Luke's South Hospital, the Arts Council of Metropolitan Kansas City, and United Community Services. His true passion is education, and in 2008, Logan chaired the Committee for the Johnson County Education and Research Triangle. He has actively championed causes for students from kindergarten through college and has received numerous awards recognizing his efforts. In 2008, Logan was named the Johnson Countian of the Year for his distinguished civic leadership.


The 'survive and advance' mantra was alive and well at the Class 1A Abingdon-Avon Girls Basketball Sectional on Monday night as Lewistown and Illini Bluffs picked up nail-biting semifinal wins over Brimfield and Mendon Unity respectively.
Lewistown's 49-47 triumph came on the heels of a previous 59-43 win over Brimfield back in January but head coach Greg Bennett said he expected the next round to be a tougher fight.
The pivotal stretch came midway through the third quarter after Brimfield had turned a seven point halftime deficit into a three point advantage. Lewistown posts Sydney Shaeffer and Hannah Burdess were on the bench in foul trouble allowing Haley Wallace (17 points) and Ella Lune (12 points) to control the paint for Brimfield.
Back-to-back three-pointers by Carli Heffren and Anna Heffren (game-high 19 points) put Lewistown back in front at the 2:12 mark and, though things got tight in the late stages of the fourth quarter, Lewistown never trailed again.
"One of the things I was very impressed with was even though we lost the lead, we never panicked. I think we looked like a veteran ball club tonight. We rode through the crests of the waves and the doldrums in-between," Bennett said.
Brimfield (23-9) had a look to tie the game at the buzzer but a late floater by Mallory Meinke came up short.
Lewistown (29-1) will play Illini Bluffs in Thursday's sectional final after the Tigers were able to convert their last-second look to top Mendon Unity 29-27.
Hannah Alvey's put-back at the buzzer was the third chance Illini Bluffs (25-6) had on the final possession and marked just the eighth point of the second half for the Tigers (27 turnovers). Alvey had 15 points to lead all scorers.

U Tong Ch'ŭk, również U Tong Chuk (kor. 우동측, ur. 8 sierpnia 1942 w powiecie P'yŏngwŏn, prowincja P'yŏngan Południowy) – północnokoreański polityk i czterogwiazdkowy generał (kor. 대장) Koreańskiej Armii Ludowej. Ze względu na przynależność do najważniejszych gremiów politycznych Korei Północnej, uznawany za członka ścisłej elity władzy KRLD.

Kariera
U Tong Ch'ŭk urodził się 8 sierpnia 1942 w powiecie P'yŏngwŏn w prowincji P'yŏngan Południowy. Absolwent filozofii na Uniwersytecie im. Kim Ir Sena w Pjongjangu. Niewiele wiadomo o karierze zawodowej U Tong Ch'ŭka przed kwietniem 1992 roku, kiedy to otrzymał awans na stopień dwugwiazdkowego generała-porucznika (kor. 중장). Deputowany Najwyższego Zgromadzenia Ludowego KRLD, parlamentu KRLD, nieprzerwanie od XI kadencji (tj. od września 2003 roku).

Trzygwiazdkowym generałem-porucznikiem (kor. 상장) został w kwietniu 2009 roku. Wtedy także wszedł do Komisji Obrony Narodowej, de facto najważniejszego organu w systemie politycznym Korei Północnej. Od tego momentu wielokrotnie pojawiał się u boku Kim Dzong Ila podczas licznych wizytacji jednostek wojskowych. Obecnie jednak nie jest już członkiem Komisji. We wrześniu 2009 mianowany pierwszym wicedyrektorem Agencji Bezpieczeństwa Narodowego (kor. 국가안전보위부), Służby Bezpieczeństwa KRLD. Funkcję tę sprawuje do dziś.

W kwietniu 2010 otrzymał stopień czterogwiazdkowego generała KAL (kor. 대장). Podczas 3. Konferencji Partii Pracy Korei 28 września 2010 roku został wybrany zastępcą członka Biura Politycznego KC PPK, członkiem Centralnej Komisji Wojskowej KC PPK, najważniejszego organu Partii Pracy Korei odpowiedzialnego za sprawy wojskowe, a także po raz pierwszy zasiadł w samym Komitecie Centralnym.

Po śmierci Kim Dzong Ila w grudniu 2011 roku, U Tong Ch'ŭk znalazł się na wysokim, 25. miejscu w 233-osobowym Komitecie Żałobnym. Świadczyło to o formalnej i faktycznej przynależności U Tong Ch'ŭka do grona ścisłego kierownictwa polityczno-wojskowego Koreańskiej Republiki Ludowo-Demokratycznej. Według specjalistów, miejsca na listach tego typu określały rangę polityka w hierarchii aparatu władzy.

Odznaczenia
Kawaler Orderu Kim Dzong Ila (luty 2012).

Vietnam has climbed in the ranking of best countries
by Helen Huynh September 19, 2019
Grand Manhattan by Novaland
Vietnam has climbed in the ranking of best countries in which to invest this year, surpassing other Southeast Asian nations, such as Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Nhandan Online reports.
A recent report by the US News and World Report ranked Vietnam eighth out of 29 economies, up from 23 last year. Meanwhile, some neighbouring nations – Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia – stood in thirteenth, fourteenth and eighteenth positions, respectively.
According to the report, Doi moi (renewal) economic policy reforms beginning in 1986 have helped Vietnam transition to becoming a more modern, competitive nation.
Vietnam's continued efforts to lessen international isolation are shown by joining of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in 2007 and participation in free trade negotiations with the Trans-Pacific Partnership in 2010.
It is also a member of the United Nations, the ASEAN Regional Forum and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum, among other international organisations, the report stated.
US News & World Report is an American media company that publishes news, analysis, consumer advice and rankings. More than 20,000 people from across the globe participated in this study.
The ranking of the best countries to invest in draws from the results of a global perceptions-based survey and ranks countries based on the highest scores among nearly 7,000 business decision makers on a compilation of eight equally weighted country attributes including corruption, dynamics, economic stability, entrepreneurial, favourable tax environment, innovation, skilled labour force and technological expertise.
In this year's top five, Uruguay came in first place, followed by Saudi Arabia, Luxembourg, India and Poland.

Microsoft will remove SMBv1 file-sharing in next version of Windows 10 to prevent future attacks
Rakesh Singh
Image Courtesy: Microsoft.com
In May 2017 various companies were attacked by a ransomware also termed as WannaCrypt attack. These WannaCrypt attacks used a vulnerability in SMBv1 which is considered as the main reason for the attack to be successful. SMBv1 is a file-sharing protocol which has been used since 1990s for spreading horizontally in a Windows network to other Windows users without even needing those computers to even open any attachments.
Microsoft had already been working from 2014 to deprecate the SMBv1 protocol so as to avoid the risk of further exploits. And Microsoft have now announced that starting from the next iteration of the of Windows 10 i.e. the Fall Creators Update the SMBv1 protocol will removed completely.
According to MSPoweruser, Microsoft's Ned Pyle, principal programme manager for the company's Windows Server High Availability and Storage division has confirmed this and said that they are also testing internal insider builds of Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows Server 2016 which will have SMBv1 disabled completely. Pyle has explained that this deprecation will not be reaching the Insider Flights for some time, and it will also not affect the already released production code. But he also said that it is subject to change and none of it can be considered plan of record. Let's hope MS take all necessary steps to avoid any future attacks.

Q: What does the word "recognize" mean in this sentence? URL: https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2019/02/05/us/ap-us-state-of-union-text.html

This year, America will recognize two important anniversaries that show us the majesty of America's mission and the power of American pride.

What does it mean by recognize an anniversary? I looked the word up in dictionary but still can't understand. I don't know which meaning can be used here. Hope someone can give me some help. Thanks in advance!

A: See sense 6 in Wiktionary:

*To show appreciation of.

  to recognize services by a testimonial

I would paraphrase it also as "to give due credit to". We will recognize these anniversaries by holding official events, inviting participants and members of their families, making speeches, making TV documentaries etc.

← More Old School… Cowboy Up!
One more classic video to share from KSO. Circa 2003, this video originally appeared over on BFC. Besides some barefoot horseplay, it features someone wearing a great white bikini, better yet, it's someone that should be wearing a bikini. The kicker is she does a deep water start in it… and nothing else.
Sadly, here in the land of cheese (aka Wisconsin) we no longer experience the weather that encourages people to worship the sun in bikinis. We're now in jeans, long sleeve shirts, sweatshirts and jackets. We're bundling up as winter approaches, so this video brings fond memory of summer days on the lake.
Beside the bikini clad female, you see KSO and someone else doing some tricks on the boom, that although now they seem almost common, I think they are probably some of the earliest people to try some of them.

I'm Inga Ezera, your personal brand development partner. I'm passionate about empowering people like you to be a better version of yourself and succeed by being your true you. Its all – through your personal brand development for clarity and personal branding strategies for raising your profile in front of your ideal audience.
How do you expect other people to know your greatness if you do not raise your profile? If you just keep it to yourself, you limit the opportunities for you and others. For you – to do more of what excites you and what you are truly passionate about, for others – to get inspired by your passion and benefit from you sharing your knowledge and expertise.
If you are either an entrepreneur, a business leader or a professional, raising your profile is a must now. It's not so much for self promotion purposes, but rather for sharing your vision, purpose, knowledge and expertise, so that people get to know what you are truly great at and can come to you for your core expertise and passion to share it.
It is more for taking charge of and creating opportunities in your life to do more of what you are excited about and deliver value for others in a way that you love doing it.
For entrepreneurs: you get more clients that are your ideal clients, that know, like, and trust you are the one they need and will find you themselves. You can focus on doing the job that you love, not on running after clients and selling your services to them.
For business leaders: you attract your ideal employees as people work for people they resonate with. It's easier for you to work on business development as you are known in the industry for what and how you do things, and you can better impact and influence decision making for the business and your business stakeholders.
For professionals: you can stop doing the boring job and receive more opportunities to do the job that you are excited and passionate about, that has more meaning. We all live just once. If you are well paid now, but not really enjoying what you do, I'll tell you this – you can get the same or better paid job that you truly enjoy. Just raise your profile in the right way to the right audience.
1. Develop absolute clarity on your personal brand – your talents that you want to apply, your passion, values, your WOW effect, purpose, mission and vision for your life and then compile it into a short and snappy elevator pitch – into a short but impactful introduction, that conveys the message – of who you are, what you do and whom and how you can help. There is a best in you, you just need to be clear yourself – on what it is and bring it up. As an example, I can do many things in business, like I can recruit the best talent from the market, I can implement performance management programs etc, but what I truly and absolutely like best is – helping you to be the best version of yourself, be congruent and enjoy being truthful to yourself and others, raise your profile in accordance to that and enjoy what you do. I am great at inspiring you to think about it, empowering you to take action, equipping you with tools and strategies to do it and challenging you to, just do it!
2. For that, you need to define clearly who is your audience – your customer, employer, stakeholders – for whom exactly you are delivering value and what transformation you help them with. I advise you to be very specific about – who is it that you serve, help, deliver value, as then you can communicate and raise your profile where and in the way that they will see, notice and appreciate. As an example, my audience is people like you – entrepreneurs, business leaders and professionals and corporates who care about their people and want to do something disruptive, innovative and truly empowering for their people.
3. Social media content strategy – you can raise your profile either in 1-to-1 communications, networking – by connecting to 5-10 people per event, or – you can massively raise your profile through thoughtful and purposeful social media content strategy. Your daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly communications, will ensure that your ideal audience will get to better know what you are all about, and how you can serve them and deliver value. Also, what your values and work ethics are and what results you can deliver. As an example: I am crystal clear on my top 3 messages for social media communication and I have a clearly defined social media content plan that is congruent with what I am aiming to achieve. You might have regularly seen my posts, videos, blogs and articles to inspire, and empower you to take action.
I hope this is helpful – inspirational, educational and practical. Now – its your time to take action.
Let me know if you have any questions and how you are progressing. I'd love to hear about your journey.

The property was built around 1845 and served as the Quarry Master's house for the building of the causeways to Inchydoney. It was completely renovated and re-roofed in 2011.
RED Lodge occupies an enviable spot adjacent to Inchydoney's award-winning blue flag beach.
Sitting on a sunny south west-facing site, this period residence has breath-taking views across the beach and is just 4km outside Clonakilty town.
The distinctive property, with its red walls, slate and chimney stack, is a familiar sight to the crowds that drive the causeway all year round.
The property was built around 1845, and served as the Quarry Master's house for the building of the causeways to Inchydoney. The causeways were built as part of the famine relief projects which attempted to provide employment locally.
Set on grounds of approximately 0.6 acre, the house has been carefully renovated including being re-roofed in 2011 and extended into a house ideal for family living or as a holiday home.
Major upgrading works took place in 2017 with new central heating installed, all windows and external doors replaced, the cavity walls pumped for insulation while a new treatment plant was also installed.
Décor is tasteful and in keeping with the landscape. Downstairs includes an open plan living room with glorious sea views with all bedroom accommodation upstairs.
The sale of Red Lodge, guiding €395,000, is being managed by Sherry FitzGerald O'Neill, Clonakilty and Skibbereen. For more see sfon.ie or tel 023-8833995.
