Cecile Pineda, ¡Presente!
From her website: "Cecile Pineda was born in New York City, migrating to California in 1961 where she has lived ever since in the San Francisco-Bay Area. She is the author of The Love Queen of the Amazon, written with the assistance of a National Endowment Fiction Fellowship and named Notable Book of the Year by the New York Times; Frieze, and Face which won the Gold Medal from the Commonwealth Club of California; the Sue Kaufman Prize awarded by the American Academy & Institute of Arts & Letters, and the American Book Award nomination for first fiction. Other works including Fishlight: A Dream of Childhood, a non-fiction memoir, Bardo99, and Redoubt, both mononovels, as well as her works of non-fiction, Devil's Tango, Apology to a Whale, and Three Tides are all available from Independent Publishers Group."
Author, playwright, director, mother, and blogger Cecile Pineda has passed into history
and I am one of legions who will miss her. Her wit, clarity, and courage to tell us hard truths were valuable, and it was my great honor to be mentored by Cecile in my own blogging career.
In memoriam, I dedicate this blog post to Cecile and as homage I will mimic a couple of the structures she employed in her blog/newsletter: Take Action, and This Week's Roses Amidst the Thorns. I'm sure that by including these sections in each post, she hoped to offset the despair and cynicism that can overtake those who pay attention to current events.
Cecile's most recent book
is not listed in the bio on her website, probably because she was slowing down a bit in recent years (she was about to turn 90).
A memoir, Entry Without Inspection: A Writer's Life in El Norte (University of Georgia Press, 2020) examined the personal and political influences in the life of a self-identified Chicana author who won numerous awards for her fiction: the Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction, a gold Medal from the Commonwealth Club of California, and a National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing Fellowship. She also, as a married mother, took it as her duty to have dinner on the table every night. She was also a director and performer of distinction who chronicled the declining support for theater that explored the bounds of dramatic possibility rather than striving for commercial success. She was also the child of immigrant parents who forged her own identity in the face of some spectacularly bad parenting. And, typical of her ability to locate the personal within the political, she depicted the catastrophic effects of U.S. immigration politices via her father's experience plus the story of a whistleblower who revealed the death of an immigrant while in ICE detention.
I enjoyed this book very much as I knew Cecile by the time I was reading it, and because her life at the borders of second wave feminism and 20th century immigration policies was illuminating — at least the way she tells it.
Even more influential on my thinking:
her two previous books, also non-fiction.
Apology to a Whale: Words to Mend a World (Wings Press, 2015) is categorized as philosophy and attracted some illustrious blurbs when published. I'll let one from a prominent environmentalist speak for itself:
Cecile Pineda has the nerve to ask the one simple question that eludes our public posturing….It is the one question that could save us:
What has happened to our mind that we are killing our world?
What is it, at the root of our culture that sets us against the rest of creation?
The genius of this book is that the question [itself] supersedes the answers and takes us on explorations where we make our own discoveries. These widening apprehensions not only pierce us with heartache for what we have lost, but invite us to examine the imprisoning structures of the very language we use.
Cecile Pineda has the rare and enviable capacity to address the big questions without falling into abstractions or sermonizing. It is the artist in her that I trust, and that utters so potent a call to personal and collective liberation.
—Joanna Macy, author of Coming Back to Life
If you've asked yourself these questions, this book is for you.
Cecile's book with the biggest impact for me, personally, was undoubtedly this one.
Devil's Tango: How I Learned the Fukushima Step by Step (Wings Press, 2013) argued a thesis that acted as a tsunami demolishing my lifelong dread of nuclear war. It's not that I don't still dread it (and notice it creeping closer with each passing day), it's that I followed Cecile's carefully reasoned argument that nuclear holocaust is already here. Constant pollution from radiation leaks, accidents, and deliberate use of ordnance composed with depleted uranium already have global cancer rates and birth defects skyrocketing. Continuing to build nuclear power plants and nuclear weapon systems without any meaningful plans for containing the waste, much less the radiation produced by accidents, is collective suicide. Fukushima was a disaster waiting to happen and another earthquake could replicate it on any of several coasts around the planet.
I am deeply grateful to Cecile for both educating me and stimulating my ability to hold unwelcome truths in mind without succumbing to despair.

London Fashion Week just wrapped up, and a lot of the people I follow on social media were there, taking over brands' social media accounts, taking pictures, looking good. I spent most of the past four days sitting around at home with absolutely no plans to go anywhere, and I think if you'd touched me, my relief would have actually rubbed off on you. It was that strong.
I had some leads for this weekend, mainly to work as a street-style photographer. I'm not much of a fashionista, and I didn't want to throw myself to the wolves, so to speak. I spent a little while contacting people who were looking for photographers for their websites or publications. I don't have much to show, so it was bound to be a bit of a crapshoot, but I did get some responses.
Most of them expected me to give them an entire weekend of my life for no compensation whatsoever — and put my money into it, too, because they didn't have a budget for expenses.
I know a lot of people want these gigs, unpaid or not, and that's their prerogative. I don't. I'm tired of people shaming me for it, saying I'm ungrateful and entitled, or warning me — unsolicitedly — that I'm never going to get anywhere if I don't work for free.
They're a lot of assumptions in a very short sentence: You're assuming that my portfolio matters more to me than my livelihood, that I have the same goal with my photography career as everybody else, and that what I'm doing right now — within the guidelines I've set — isn't working for me.
We've talked about the pitfalls of working for free before on this site and even have a handy pricing guide for you.
Today, I want to paint a complete, 360º picture for you, so I'm going to give you a rundown of the reasons I, specifically, won't cover London Fashion Week street-style, specifically, for free.
You want someone to cover LFW for your blog or magazine, so you don't have to. Your blog needs a redesign, and/or the social media buttons aren't easily available, and/or you have worse stats than I do and a readership that's not going to care about who took the photos you're using. There's nothing in it for me if I work for you.
You want someone to cover LFW for your blog or magazine, which makes money off advertising, sponsors, etc. It's a for-profit thing, and you want me to work for free so you can reap the page views and clicks. No, thank you.
You started off listing everything you needed from me and shut down when asked about budget. When people do that, it means one of two things: You realize you're asking for a lot and you're pretending you're worth it in a strange, "fake-it-till-you-make-it" episode without any consideration for the fact that you're dragging another person down with you; maybe, you genuinely think creative types should work for free. Frankly, I don't know what's worse. It's dehumanizing either way. You're dehumanizing me. I'm not up for that.
You went on and on about what a great opportunity it is for my portfolio and my experience and exposure, and I get to be at this place and network with people. Only at the end did you mention that the position was unpaid, even though it was heavily implied in the rest of the email. See, here's the thing: If I'm seeking out a role like this, I already know what's in it for me. Listing it all out is boring, worthless, and reeks of shadiness and manipulation. I want to know what's in it for me if I work for you.
You don't have time to write up an agreement stating how you can use the photos that are ultimately mine. Really? I don't have time to risk you screwing me over.
You calmly stated you were on a low budget, introduced your site/magazine, said you'd be all right covering my expenses, the photos would remain mine, I said yes…and then you vanished.
Notice how "building my portfolio" isn't on there? It's not even on the list, at all. I build my portfolio tangentially to my priorities. I seek out paid opportunities when I can and work with friends — real friends, and people I genuinely already like — when I cannot.
I have learned not to trust strangers with free labor. Even when they haven't screwed me over directly, I've felt used, gross and stressed out because there were other things I could have been doing.
As you can see, even going to LFW at all doesn't take up much of the list. I have a very large backlog of work and no money for travel expenses. I also have massive social anxiety that gets triggered by crowds. Doing fashion week has to be a very conscious decision for me, something that doesn't take any money out of my pocket and that leaves me with something tangible as a result. If "something tangible" includes money, that will go a long way towards me actually taking the plunge (read: the tube), and going to a place where I know I'll feel incredibly uncomfortable.
I want to do fashion week. I want the experience, and I want the images for my portfolio, blog and various photography ventures. But it's not my only option for street style photos — there are people everywhere, events every week — and I wasn't gunning for catwalk shows anyway.
Well. Guess which one I'd pick?!
…other people do it. Different people have different priorities, different financial situations, and different approaches to fashion weeks.
…it's expected of my career journey. I didn't move to London after four years as a hermit, after two consecutive, three-months-in-college dropouts so I could do what's expected of me. It's been a long process for me to realize that there are many paths to get me where I want to be, and I don't need to sacrifice my welfare to get there. It's probably time you start accepting this too.
…it's expected of anyone in the creative industry. If we all do what's expected of us, the creative industry is never going to change for the better.
…you think I don't want it enough. I want it enough to do what's in my power to get it. Anything beyond that is fine, but quite frankly unnecessary. I'm not here to compete on how much I want something. I'm not here to compete at all, actually. In my experience, having to persuade someone to hire you ends in one of two things: it's a waste of time and you don't get it, or you get it and it's a nightmare.
…it's unfair to people who do it for free. I'm sorry, and I think you've missed the intent behind all of this, which is: I want people to ask for their due! I'm saying: doing things you don't want to do is not the only possible way to build a portfolio, or get a break. If that works for you, great! Do it! But if it doesn't — don't be scared to ask for payment. Don't be scared to set strict guidelines. I feel used when I don't, like I wasted my time and gave someone something they didn't value, and it's a really gross feeling. I wouldn't want anyone to feel that way!
There is no other industry where people are expected to work x hours in one day, then go home and work another few hours, putting in their own thousand-dollar equipment, no matter their level of experience (but certainly enough experience to know how to work that equipment without any training provided), for absolutely no monetary compensation whatsoever.
There is no other industry where someone would think you're greedy and entitled for wanting monetary compensation for your time and work.
There is no other industry that deliberately creates a divide between the importance of your work on its own and your value and needs as the person who makes it. I mean, if we're talking about how great art is as an end result, how great is it to save lives? Shouldn't the satisfaction of saving a life be enough for a doctor to live on? Obviously, no, it isn't, because saving a life doesn't pay the rent, or the bills, or put food on the table. Neither does art as an end result.
I have better things to do than cover fashion week without monetary compensation, and I have better ways to cover fashion week without monetary compensation than doing it for a stranger who may or may not give a sh** about whether I feel I got something valuable out of it.
If you don't, more power to you. But I know where I stand, and I want to keep standing upright. I've set guidelines for a reason, and I want you — if you're a photographer, if you're in a situation like this — to know that you can, too. The world isn't going to break if you ask to be compensated for, at minimum, your time, work and equipment. The creative industry may develop a crack or two, but anyway — it's about time it gets a good fix.

The Sims make another appearance away from the PC.
By Kristine Steimer
Updated: 4 May 2012 11:36 pm
Posted: 29 Oct 2010 7:07 pm
If there was any confusion about what you're getting with the Sims 3
The Sims 3 Deluxe - PC/Mac
on Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3, let me clear it up for you: it's the Sims 3, the extremely popular PC life simulator, but on consoles. Obviously the game has been reworked to function with controllers instead of a mouse and keyboard, but there's also one other major addition: Karma Powers, a potent way to help or harm your Sims. If you're a fan of the Sims series, chances are you already own this game on your PC, but on the off chance that you don't, the console version is a good substitute.
The addictive formula that worked on PCs translates well to consoles, and you may find yourself neglecting your own needs to make sure your starving Sim gets some food. The controls may seem complicated at first, but the game does a fine job of easing you into the experience with its tutorial system. Once you get the hang of it, it's really quite easy.
Though the controls are simple to pick up, be prepared to face a lot of loading screens. Travel to any area outside of the general circumference around your house and you'll hit a loading screen. There's also some slowdown when you fast-forward time, which unfortunately happens a lot in this game. I mean, who wants to watch a Sim pee slowly? The framerate issue doesn't ruin the game, as it has a slower pace than other genres, but it is a noticeable annoyance on both versions.
Overall, this life-simulation game is pretty consistent with the PC version. You'll create a Sim household or choose a pre-made family to start out with and then dictate their lives. The creation tool offers an in-depth way to customize your Sims -- pick their physical appearance, different outfits, voice, favorite things, traits and lifetime wish. Depending on your Sim's characteristics, these goals can range from learning every recipe in the game to becoming the top dog in the criminal career path. Once you have your household of Sims, you'll manage their daily lives making sure their needs of hunger, hygiene, social interaction, fun, bladder and energy are all met.
Customization is also still intact from the PC version -- you can build a new house from scratch or remodel the one you're in, dig a pond or grow a mountain in your backyard, or make yourself a giant pool.
Can't find anything you like for your Sim to wear? There are tons of textures for you to play around with; so if you can find the basic look of what you want, you can tweak it to your heart's desire. If you can't make clothes or furniture you like, hit up the online swap store "the Exchange." Free of charge for those who purchase the game new, the Exchange is a place you can download other people's creations or upload your own. It's easy to access and use, and it's always great to see what creative minds can come up with.
While guiding Sims along their lives, their desires will pop up on screen for you to accept or decline. It ranges from small things like buying a book on Logic to mastering a specific skill, and every time you complete a Wish, you'll be rewarded with some Karma Points (the amount varies depending on how big the task is) and a happier Sim. Alongside Wishes are Challenges, which range from purchasing a chess table to making your home's value rise above a certain dollar amount.
Successfully tackling Challenges earns you points to purchase items for your home and even certain Karma powers, though you must first complete a specific Challenge to unlock them. For example, fulfilling the home's value challenge listed above is necessary before you can purchase the Giant Jackpot power. My gripe about Challenges is that the setup is a bit confusing, and I'd often forget that the Challenge Shop existed until the game informed me that I unlocked the ability to purchase a new Karma Power. Though the Challenge Shop offers some nice items like furniture sets, the only really enticing things to purchase are the different Karma powers.
Don't+fight!+Love!+Love!
The idea behind Karma Powers was to speed up some of the processes that can be tedious, like getting promotions or a little lovin' and to just have some spiteful fun with your Sims. There are good and bad options -- Giant Jackpot will make your Sim win the lottery while Epic Fail will transform your Sim into a temporary loser that can't do anything right.
It's fun to try out all 13 powers once you unlock them, but don't expect to be able to use them constantly as each Karma Power costs a certain number of Karma Points. Thankfully, earning Karma Points isn't all that difficult; you obtain them by completing Wishes or during the Hour of Reckoning. Every night at midnight in your game, the Hour of Reckoning will either award you Karma Points, or unleash a devastating disaster upon your household. If you abuse the powers too much, it can result in tragedy, but if you use them in moderation, positive things will happen. Unleashing a firestorm of rage on my unsuspecting household or using Super Satisfy to let my Sim girl get a little more "Woo-Hoo" action into her day was quite fun, so the powers are definitely a nice addition.
What the Sims 3 lacks on consoles is variety. After playing through a Sims lifetime once, you'll already know all of the people. The town is full of the same dozen or so Sims, so once you're done with the first life cycle you don't get that same sense of excitement when meeting all your neighbors or trying to find a love interest for your single Sim. This problem is easily fixed with downloadable add-on packs like the PC version has, but it's still a bummer that it feels more like a small town than like a thriving city. Despite its quaint size, the suburb has plenty of amenities to indulge in, including a spa, gym, bookshop, two restaurants, an art gallery, etc., so your Sim will never be bored unless you want him to be.
It's amazing that The Sims 3 works so well with a controller and that many of the PC functions are still intact. So if you're curious about the Sims and don't own a computer (or a rig that can handle complex games), you should try out the console version. The instant gratification of the Karma powers plus the addictive formula of The Sims 3 is a winning combination, but the game isn't perfect. With some minor performance problems and the limited world, this title lacks some replayability right out of the gate. However, if it's a title EA supports with downloadable content like they do with the PC version, Sims 3 could have a promising future. The PC title is still superior, but if you can't see that version in your future, the console port is worth your time.

Q: Restrict single attribute usage in sequence using XML Schema Supposing the following instance document:
<person>
  <name>Maurice Moss</name>
  <addresses>
    <address current="true">441 Wallaby way</address>
    <address>2 Mercer Road</address>
  </addresses>
</person>

Using XML Schema, is it possible to enforce that only one <address> element can have it's current attribute set to "true" within the sequence.
Cheers
NOTE: I'm not quite sure how to phrase this problem, so I hope anyone having better idea can fix the title or place relevant tags.

A: I think using XSD 1.0 you can enforce that there is only one element with a "current" attribute, as RichardTowers shows, but you cannot allow multiple "current" attributes of which only one may be true.

This would prevent multiple current="true" attributes, but unfortuantely also multiple current="false", so you may want to adapt it a bit.

New Boutique International School Catering to Both Special Needs and Mainstream Students. IIS is currently accepting students of all ages and is proud to offer intimate class sizes, enviable teacher-student ratios (1:3 in the Special Needs Stream; 1:6 in the Mainstream Stream) and an accredited, vigorous academic curriculum.
Among the big jungle of schools in Singapore, a humble school with no less of an impact on Singapore's educational scene is emerging from the forest canopy and making itself known. The Integrated International School (IIS), which officially came to fruition this year, is the three year old labour of love of Principal and Psychologist, Ms. Vanessa von Auer.
Research indicates that 10% to 15% of children worldwide have developmental disabilities and/or special needs. In Singapore, the Autism Resource Centre (Singapore) estimates that approximately 216 children are diagnosed with autism annually, and local newspapers confirm that an increasing number of special needs students are being denied access to a mainstream education due to insufficient placements or the lack of adequate resources at mainstream schools. This is tragic anywhere, but especially in a country as developed and wealthy as Singapore, because these delays are occurring at a critical time in the cognitive and socio-emotional development of these young children.
IIS was established, without corporate backing or the support of the Government of Singapore, to increase access to education in Singapore. The philosophy of IIS is that every child is entitled to a high-quality, enriching education to enable him or her to become a fulfilled individual. In line with this guiding principle, IIS offers children of all backgrounds (Expatriates and Singaporeans, special needs students and mainstream students) a high-quality and well-rounded education.
The fundamental philosophy that every child is entitled to a high-quality education is what initially inspired Ms. von Auer to begin offering educational services three years ago. Back then, she operated from her psychology centre at Camden Medical Centre, from where she provided therapeutic services to children with developmental disabilities and/or unique learning needs. She gradually expanded the scope of her services in response to the unmet demand for education she encountered. During this time, as she was counselling children in the mainstream system, she was also being exposed to the many psychological pressures students face when they get lost in the crowd at larger schools. Ms. von Auer decided to address these educational deficiencies by opening a boutique, international school with two streams, one catering to special needs students and the other to mainstream students.
IIS is currently accepting students of all ages and is proud to offer intimate class sizes, enviable teacher-student ratios (1:3 in the Special Needs Stream; 1:6 in the Mainstream Stream) and an accredited, vigorous academic curriculum. Classes are also customized to foster individual and collective strengths no matter what the child's skill and ability level. This individualised attention, coupled with a socio-emotional curriculum and child-centred approach to teaching, set IIS apart from the "big boys" in Singapore.
Please join IIS at its Open House on Saturday, October 29, 2011 (10am-3pm), or contact Ms. von Auer at info@iis.com.sg or (65) 6235-9602 for more information.

Port of Seattle and Puget Sound Council of Governments launch Flight Plan study on May 23, 1989.
On May 23, 1989, the Port of Seattle and Puget Sound Council of Governments (PSCOG), reorganized in 1991 as the Puget Sound Regional Council, sign an Interagency Agreement to launch the "Flight Plan" study of future air service capacity needs and solutions, including the possible expansion of the Seattle-Tacoma (Sea-Tac) International Airport. The effort is guided by a 39-member Puget Sound Air Transportation Committee and will lead to a controversial decision in 1992 to add a third "dependent" runway at Sea-Tac to maintain airport capacity during low visibility weather conditions.
The need for the "Flight Plan" effort was first identified in 1988 during preparation of the Port of Seattle's "Comprehensive Planning Review and Airspace Update Study." This analysis projected that the existing two runways at Sea-Tac International Airport could reach "maximum efficient capacity" by the year 2000. Planners and forecasters at the Puget Sound Council of Governments (PSCOG) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) soon arrived at the same conclusion.
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport opened with one runway in 1944 and became fully operational in 1949. An additional runway was built 800 feet to the west in 1970 to accommodate increased air traffic and larger jetliners. This narrow separation prevented the use of both runways during fog and low clouds, or about 44 percent of the time, and capped the airport's efficient capacity with minimum delays at about 380,000 operations (landings and takeoffs) per year.
Port Aviation Division director Andrea Riniker (a former director of the Washington State Department of Ecology and later executive director of the Port of Tacoma) recognized that addressing air service capacity needs would require a credible and objective examination and, with luck, a regional consensus. The Port Commission and PSCOG began planning a joint study in July 1988. The final agreement was authorized by PSCOG Resolution 3042 and signed by director Curtis Smelser and his Port counterpart, Zeger J. J. van Asch van Wijck.
one citizen member of the Port of Seattle Noise Management Mediation Committee.
The Port and PSCOG agreed to split the Committee's initial $683,000 budget down the middle. Work began almost immediately and continued over the next two-and-one-half years. The PSATC adopted its final report on June 17, 1992, which called for construction of a third dependent runway at Sea-Tac, addition of commercial airline service at Snohomish County's Paine Field, and development of a supplemental airport in Pierce or Thurston County. The Port and the Regional Council ultimately adopted its recommendations, but the third Sea-Tac runway was the only one to survive as a viable solution to the region's projected air service capacity needs.

The Japanese press is well known for its close and cosy relationship with Japan's establishment, what is often referred to as the 'Iron Triangle' (the LDP, bureaucracy, and big business). This cosy relationship often results in favourable and at times unanalytical reporting on the establishment. A mechanism for establishing this relationship is the kisha (press) club system in which organisations, such as government ministries and economic organisations, release 'official' information to the press. The press, with little analysis, then publishes "descriptive, fact-orientated, 'official'" news reports. In return for the favour, organisations then provide lavish facilities, including food and drink, for kisha club journalists at great expense.
Similar mechanisms, although less institutionally ingrained, are also clearly visible at this year's G7 Ise-Shima Summit. These are seemingly designed to deliver the same effect, namely, to win over the global media and to ensure favourable reportage of the G7's press conferences and final communiqué. Lavish facilities are laid on for the world's press at the International Media Center, located in the picturesque Shima peninsula. These facilities are provided at the Japanese taxpayers' expense, contributing further to Japan's soaring public debt, which is expected to reach 250% of GDP this year. These facilities include a cafeteria with unlimited free local Japanese cuisine, tasting bars offering a variety of high-class regional nihonshu, and what is considered to be the highest quality sake from Fukushima prefecture. This clearly intends to promote the region to the global media as well as mitigate lingering internet rumours of radiation contamination.
As with Iron Triangle's effort to please kisha club journalists, the Abe administration has clearly made the same effort to satisfy the world's press. The justification for this global kisha club goes beyond just favourable reporting. This is because it links to Japan's hosting of its first G7 Summit in eight years and the importance of the agreements that must be made in Japan's interests. Since Japan possesses significantly more influence within the G7 than it does within the UN system, Abe aims to promote the G7 as playing an essential role in global governance. Thus, the need for favourable coverage has become particularly salient for both Japan and the G7. The key question is: will such efforts to win over the media result in positive reporting on G7 press conferences and the communiqué? It is yet to be seen, however the signs suggest that the Japanese media has been sufficiently placated and that other journalists are trailing close behind (see our other blog on Sake).

Hør talen fra Søndagens gudstjeneste her. I 2017 har Karismakirken hatt motto "Et år av vekst", Julius Mba bruker dette og fortellingen om Sakkeus som utgangspunkt for denne inspirerende talen.
Zacchaeus desperately wanted to see Jesus but 3 main factors were working against him; - his size, the crowd, his sin. But none of these stopped him. His goal was simple - to see Jesus; to grow!
In everything we do in life; as an individual, as a church, in our families; there are certainly going to be challenges and hindrances.
Zacchaeus had every reason to go home without seeing Jesus. He could have blamed God for creating him short. The crowd was not helpful either. Being a rich man, he could have used alternative means to get to see Jesus. He could have arranged a meeting with Jesus in his office. But he did not choose any of these options.
Like Zacchaeus some of us want to see Jesus today. But the crowd, the crowd of social media activities, the crowd of responsibilities associated with daily living, ... all trying to block our view. So why not be like Zacchaeus and position yourself above the crowd? Nothing could stop Zacchaeus and nothing can stop us to the level God has destined for us.
Zacchaeus knew for sure he was a sinner. But he chose not to focus on the sin. His goal was to be well positioned to see Jesus.
Many times we tend to dwell on the past; the mistakes of the past continue to hold us down. Proverbs 24:16 says that it is possible for a righteous man to fall 7 times and still rise. The fact that we tried before and not succeed does not mean we cannot try again. Zacchaeus chose to be different; and we should also make a decision to be different.
In other to continue to grow, we have to take the forward step in faith and make the upward movement. Zacchaeus ran ahead of the crowd and climbed a tree.
It is very important as Christians that we come to church meetings and listen to the word of God and also study in our private times.
And it is even more important to take action on what we have heard and read. It is the boldness to step up and step out and apply what you have read in the word of God that changes situations. We have to be divinely positioned to move to the next level! And this is applicable to every aspect of lives.
The result of one action can have a multiplier effect. Because Zacchaeus made attempt to see Jesus, his whole household got saved. Just by one action!
Remember that you don't need to be a preacher to speak about Jesus; you don't need to have all the talents to render a service in the house of God. All that is required is availability and making the move.
Zacchaeus was probably not very good at climbing. Climbing was not his profession but he dared to make a move.
Sometimes people want to wait for God until their prayers are answered, but in most cases God has already answered the prayers through the finished work of Christ. In Rev. 21:6 Jesus Christ says "it is done...." We only need to step out and move into what God has already done.
At some point it is good to sit back and wait on God, at other times it is important to make the move and act in obedience, because God is already waiting on us to move. And I strongly feel that as we are already in the mood of growth, let us make the move and position ourselves just like Zacchaeus. Let us seize the moment!

If you are like me, over the years you have received many pieces of advice. Some good, some bad, most of it was in one ear and out the other.
Our direct support workers have many hats –teammates, referees, cheerleaders, chauffeurs, sounding boards, or anything in between. Whatever our clients need, our staff is up to the task of providing it.
I thought I would share with them a few pieces of simple advice– whether it be helpful in the moment or many years down the line, I'd bet that at least some of these gems have passed through the lips of our care workers onto the clientele they are helping to succeed. If not – maybe these are a few they could add to their arsenal!
This one was passed down to me from my father. You would assume he would want his kids to go to sleep but he always encouraged us to use our time wisely and not waste it lying around because you never know when it runs out.
This nugget came from my first supervisor who encouraged me to think of solutions to my own work problems before laying them all out for him to solve. It really encouraged me to think independently and outside the box.
This is another parental piece of advice which was mostly used when I went out with friends on a Friday night but over the years I have adapted it. It reminds me that there is time and I don't have to complete every project immediately. I can slow down and enjoy the process.
It makes sense. Life is too short to please everyone. ..But I still made him take out the garbage.


The Bike4Tiger Challenge itinerary has been designed by Royal Expeditions to experience the landscape penned in Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book and support its conservation.
The Bike4Tiger Challenge travels between these two parks over 3 full days of fun off-road biking terrain. It's about 180 kms of quiet dirt forest tracks and undulating trails along this connecting forest landscape, home itself to a number of elusive tigers. Pedal through quaint and untouched tribal village communities that often bear the brunt of conflict with both predators and crop raiding prey like spotted deer, wild pig and Nilgai antelope.
The ride is designed for those who like biking, are fit (or want to get fit!) and adventurous, but do not have to be expert off-road bikers. Ages vary from 35 to 75 in 2016. Participants should enjoy a physical challenge, as the trail will cover between 45kms and 65kms each day, or 8 hours in the bike saddle. The scenery is glorious forest or rural terrain, most of it easy biking for those used to off road biking, but there are one or two uphill challenges and some fun off road downhills. The two nights of the bike trip are spent in a comfortable pre-set tented camp, besides forests and near village fields.
This is a unique trip for those who like getting off the beaten track and wants to get a real insight into India's ancient rural heartland and its forests whilst being happy to support its conservation efforts.
Explore by Cycle the very Forest of Seoni hills that inspired Kipling to write Jungle Book.
Accommodation in Tree Houses and Luxury Eco Lodge.
More eyes and ears in vital corridor for Tiger conservation which worlds last remaining life line for tigers.

It is characterised by domes, long walkways, inner courtyards, reflection pools and fountains. The hotel has 136 rooms, which includes a presidential suite and six executive suites, overlooking the garden, courtyards and pools.


A number of people have asked about the local elections, which are receiving coverage in the media. Can I make it clear that there are NO elections on Thursday in Teignbridge. Here we have local elections every two years; last year for Devon County Council and next year for Teignbridge District Council.
There will therefore be District Council elections in May 2019 here in Newton Abbot. The only other possibility of a local election is a by election, caused by the resignation or death of a sitting member.
I hope that clarifies the situation regarding local elections in this part of the world.

An African wild cat found in the forests of Germany
At the end of 2019, the local veterinary authorities of Rhein-Sieg-Kreis in Germany had been receiving multiple reports of sightings of an unusual animal in the forests. With the identification being some kind of wild cat, specialist wildlife experts set up wildlife cameras and live traps in order to track the animal's movements, which finally led to the capture of the mysterious creature! It turned out that the exotic wild cat was in fact a male serval, a small wildcat native to Africa. After the beautiful cat was captured, local authorities tried to track down the owner. Although it is possible to legally keep such an exotic animal in private keeping with a license, there had been no reports as to an escaped serval in the surrounding area. The male wild cat was very emaciated and had no microchip, so the authorities had no opportunity to be able to track where he had come from and how he came to end up in the forest.
The assumption was made that as no known attempts to track him down were made by the owner, he had escaped or was abandoned after being illegally kept in private. Read more about exotic pets here!
In mid-February 2020, the veterinary office asked TIERART for a permanent solution to accommodate the cat. As nothing was known about his past, he had to undergo several weeks of quarantine in a specialized facility before he was able to be officially transferred to TIERART. With specialist veterinary care, he was able to gain strength and receive vaccinations, deworming, and was microchipped according to regulations for the species.
When he arrived at TIERART, the community was asked to pick a fitting name, it was decided that he will be called Kiano (meaning "full of joy" in African).
He finally was moved into a large enclosure at the center, although he is shy at first, we can see he is slowly coming out of his shell. He now enjoys sitting and relaxing on the rocks in the sun.
Update July 2020
Since his arrival at TIERART in April, this lovely boy is still quite shy but loves to explore his large enclosure at the center! He has taken some time to adapt to his new surroundings and is still bashful with his caretakers, preferring to hide and observe from a distance when they are around. Despite this, he is a curious cat and his health has improved drastically since his rescue from the forests.

The City of Gaithersburg's Rainscapes Rewards program, modeled after Montgomery County's Rainscapes Rewards Program, aims to help residential property owners, homeowners associations, private education facilities, nonprofits, and multifamily dwellings improve stormwater runoff conditions on their property by installing natural drainage projects.
These projects are designed to reduce the amount of stormwater entering local streams, increase groundwater supply, and reduce chemical and nutrient pollutants entering waterways. Other environmental benefits of these projects include reduced energy consumption and air pollution from lawn mowers, reduced water use for irrigation during droughts, and increased biodiversity in the suburban landscape. Importantly, these unique landscaping enhancements can ultimately add value to the property.
The City of Gaithersburg offers rebates to eligible single-family residential property owners, homeowners associations, private education facilities, nonprofits, and multifamily dwellings who install conservation landscapes on their property.

In this week's installment on Susan and my alternate site "Weekly Prompt" we selected the word PASSPORT as an idea worthy of discussion. The warmer weather is a few months away and many of you will be making travel plans. Hope this article helps.
Ever notice how your own body physically changes over time but that your mental image of yourself does not as if believing that assumption actually assures that you are better today than you have ever been?
Having a photo taken of yourself as you are today tends to provide the unequivocal proof that you are changing and that your photos taken even a few years ago are totally out of whack as to the person you are today.
A person's hairline changes, we all put on a few "extra pounds" and age lines appear that were not there only a few weeks ago. That's life and life is about change.
If you do have a passport and are about to travel to a new country a quick glance at the photo will immediately show you that you have physically changed : you now wear horned rim reading bifocals instead of contact lenses; sport a bushy moustache; notice more bags under your eyes today than when the photo was taken only a few months ago.
The photo on your passport does not suspend reality like the "Picture of Dorian Grey" offered a false façade of the man presented on the canvas. The hands of time march on and we must follow it cadence.
Many people find their passport photos unflattering or off the mark but the camera lens usually tells the truth no matter how much we want to question its results.
In this day and age it only makes sense to have your passport updated on a regular basis even if you have no immediate future plans to travel abroad.

"The spirit of Customer Kings lies in the fact that, while a lot of things might feel like they're out of control for small businesses in a downturn, the one thing that can really make a difference is the experience that the business offers their customers," says David Critchley, Cisco's head of Small Medium Enterprise & Commercial.
Whether you're based in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland or Northern Ireland, if your customers love you, let us know now. Each winner will be profiled in a special supplement in the March edition of Real Business magazine.
"We had some absolutely amazing entries to last year's competition and we're all hugely excited to see what Britain and Ireland's businesses have to tell us this time around.

Hi, Tomoe! Thank you for the Moms Panel love! Glad we can help! Relax, neither of these shows is currently on the refurbishment list. You will probably be able to see them both. While Walt Disney World does a great job of helping us pre-plan our trips, not all information is available before you arrive. Unfortunately, there is not a schedule pre-published for the shows you have mentioned. When you arrive at your Resort ask Guest Services for a Disney's Hollywood Studios-specific Times Guide. If one is unavailable (or if you aren't staying on-site) then you'll have to wait until you arrive at the park to grab a one. Happy planning and have a Magical vacation!


32Red £10 No Deposit Casino Bonus - £10 Completely Free!
We all love free money, right? Especially when no deposit is required to claim it!
Casino bonuses are a great way to get your foot in the door. They provide you with some degree of value and usually take the form of free spins or bonus cash – all good stuff. Nowadays, most casinos offer new customers free spins on their site – if you're lucky you'll win a couple of quid and you can build up your money from there if you play your cards right! But 32Red Casino have gone one step further, and are instead offering £10 outright to all of their new players – with no deposit required!
That's right, you heard us: a completely free tenner you can use anywhere on the award-winning site!
Players simply need to open a new casino account with 32Red Casino – this can be done by playing online, downloading instant software or downloading the free mobile app, depending on what platform is being used – and enter their card details onto the site (don't panic, it's not a trap – no deposit is required at any point to take advantage of this offer!).
After waiting a few minutes for these to pass the verification checks, a 'slide offer' will pop onto the screen, allowing players to claim their free £10! (We did find this took a few minutes to appear, and then did so without much warning so we would advise patience when waiting for the offer to materialise!) Players then have the option to accept or decline the bonus via this pop-up menu. And, let's face it, why would you turn down free money?!
Players have over 500 exciting games to choose from when playing at 32Red. The site features exciting games powered by Microgaming software such as the highly popular 'Game of Thrones' slot alongside several others, and that's not forgetting a HUGE progressive casino jackpot which at the time of writing has a jackpot that exceeds £6 million, all up for grabs!
The 32Red No Deposit Bonus comes with a wagering requirement of 50 times the value of the bonus. What this means is that you will have to place bets that have a total combined value of £10*50 = £500 before you will be allowed to cash in this money. Granted, this is higher than the average wagering requirement for the industry but when you take into account that this bonus is given to you straight up, there is very little to complain about.
Something else that you should also consider is that not all games are made equal when wagering a bonus. Bets placed on certain games will be worth more than bets placed on others. For example, wagers placed on slot games, keno, Dream Catcher and Scratch Cards are counted for their full value – or 100%, in other words – whereas table poker bets will only contribute 50% of their value. Furthermore, roulette games contribute only 20% to the wagering requirement, while French Roulette, video poker games, blackjack, pontoon, baccarat, Caribbean Draw Poker, Multi-Hand Hold'em High Gold and Vegas 3 Card Rummy Gold count 10%.
As you can see, individual games may have different wagering contributions than the games in the whole genre. Examples of this include all variations of Atlantic City Blackjack, Vegas Downtown Blackjack, Vegas Strip Blackjack, Vegas Single Deck Blackjack, Classic Blackjack, Hi-Lo 13 European Blackjack Gold, All Aces Video Poker and Texas Hold'em Bonus Poker Gold, where bets only count 2% of their value towards the wagering requirement. There are also titles which are altogether excluded from the wagering process, such as Craps, Mega Spin Slots, Live Craps, Max Damage Alien Attack, and a few others.
It is important for you to understand this so that you can correctly calculate the amount that you need to wager on a given game. As it happens, 32Red has much more favourable contributions on certain casino genres than other gambling websites and you should take full advantage of this.
There are a few other conditions that you have to abide by if you wish to withdraw the bonus. For example, the maximum size of your bets with the bonus cannot exceed £8.00 or you risk forfeiting the bonus. Moreover, you will need to meet the wagering requirement within 7 days of accepting the promotion or the bonus and any winnings from it will be removed from your balance. Only players residing in the United Kingdom can take part in the No Deposit Bonus offer and there can only be one bonus per player.
When all is said and done, we can safely conclude that 32Red's No Deposit Bonus is certainly worth your while. You have the opportunity to win up to £100 with no prior commitment and you can do so, playing your favourite games. Given 32Red's stellar reputation, we have no reason to question the validity of this claim. In fact, this is one of the best online casinos in the industry, with a solid gaming library and a proper selection of ongoing promotions.
Should players choose to return to 32Red after their initial £10 bonus (and with everything on offer we see no reason you wouldn't want to!) there are some fantastic casino deposit bonuses available. For every £10 deposited for their first transaction on the site, 32Red, in fitting with their name, will offer an additional £32, up to £160 on table games!
Alternatively, new players can take advantage of the 150% slots reload offer for a reload bonus up to £300! There's no shortage of welcome promotions, and the only issues you'll have is trying to decide which of the great offers you want to take advantage of! So take our advice; head on over to 32Red Casino today, grab your free tenner and get playing!
We can guarantee you definitely won't regret it, and after all, given it's COMPLETELY FREE, what have you got to lose?!

Q: "Rebuild with Bitcode" and optional dependencies I'm distributing 2 frameworks A and B. They can work together, but A can also work without B.
A contains some code checking if B exists and act accordingly. So A has an optional dependencies on B.
This seems to work well, but some days ago a client told me that with the Bitcode version when you try :

*

*Using only framework A with cocoapod

*exporting an Ad-hoc ipa

*while enabling "Rebuild with bitcode"

It will fail saying that it doesn't find B. "Could not resolve @rpath in @rpath/B.framework/B from A"
It doesn't seems to be an issue without bitcode. Obviously you can't rebuild with it, but you can put it on the store without bitcode.
Is there anything I should do for the bitcode case to be sure that B is REALLY optional and doesn't pose any issue when using only A?
Thank you in advance for the time of whoever will read this :)

Yasutsune Itosu (The Sacred Fist)
Yasutsune 'Ankoh' Itosu 糸洲 安恒
1830. Shuri, Okinawa
Matsumura Sokon
Another Okinawan Karate Master. Yasutsune Itosu was also a great influence on Funakoshi Gichin in his training.
Itosu was known throughout Okinawa for wrestling a charging bull to the ground with his bare hands, holding it to the ground until it was tied and taken away.
Itosu had trained his body to withstand repeated blows, and it is told that he regularly allowed his students to strike him while sipping drinks, apparently showing no signs of pain.
Itosu was one of the first Karate Masters to demonstrate his skills in Okinawa in early 1900.
Itosu was later referred to as Meijin, which means Master of Masters, or one who has mastered his art far beyond the boundaries of physical prowess after experiencing infinitely painstaking discipline.

Double, Double Toil and Trouble: The Witch in Horror Movies
Andrew WelshThe Chopping BlockBlack Sunday, Burn Witch Burn, Cry of the Banshee, Lords of Salem, Mario Bava, Pumpkinhead, Rob Zombie, Robert Eggers, Stan Winston, The Autopsy of Jane Doe, The Blair Witch Project, The Craft, The Witch, Vincent Price, Witches2 Comments
Last week, Orion Pictures released their adaptation of the classic Brothers Grimm fairytale, Hansel and Gretel – Gretel & Hansel. The latest directorial feature from Oz Perkins (The Blackcoat's Daughter) re-visits a classic horror narrative – the evil witch in the woods. Though vampires, werewolves, and zombie have all enjoyed cycles of mainstream popularity, witches lingered in the background. But they've never gone away. Bewitched, The Witches of Waverly Place, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch entertained television audiences across generations. And big-screen horror movies occasionally conjure up an old-fashioned hex for horror fans. Below are a selection of horror movies featuring witches to put you under a spell. This isn't a ranking – it's just a list of movies worth checking out. And no, Hocus Pocus isn't on this list.
Black Sunday (1960)
There are two popular witch narratives in horror. First, we have the Grimm Brothers 'witch in the woods'. And then there's the persecuted witch seeking revenge. Horror classic Black Sunday falls into the latter category. Horror master Mario Bava (Bay of Blood) directed this story of a witch put to death only to return 200 years later for revenge. At the time of its release, Black Sunday was somewhat controversial as some critics found it to be too gruesome. It's a visually striking movie that's often equal parts silly and unnerving. Fans of Bava's more bloody work that would follow will see seedlings of that filmmaking style here Older horror fans will also appreciate 'Scream Queen' Barbara Steele's presence.
Burn Witch Burn (1962)
Fans of old-fashioned horror will enjoy this slightly more obscure black-and-white horror movie. When a successful college professor's personal and professional life take a dramatic downward turn, his wife suspects a curse. Ever the pragmatic skeptic, the professor is horrified when his wife turns to witchcraft to protect him. But as the tragedies pile up, he's forced to confront the supernatural. On the one hand, Burn, Witch, Burn's old-fashioned supernatural mystery may feel dated to some horror fans. Still, there's plenty to appreciate with this atmospheric, moody, and tightly-paced thriller. Besides, Burn, Witch, Burn's ending is a satisfying, if not uneasy, conclusion.
Cry of the Banshee (1970)
Okay, Cry of the Banshee isn't one of Vincent Price's better movies. File this one under 'guilty pleasure'. As was the case in most of his movie, Price hams it up as the villain – an evil magistrate looking to wipe out the members of a witch's coven. When he fails to kill all its members, the survivor curses Price and his family. Brutal deaths (for 1970) follow. One of American International Pictures' (AIP) later entries, Cry of the Banshee followed suit with Hammer Films in the 1970's. As Gothic horror faded in popularity, AIP upped both the gore and nudity to attract movie-goers. And Cry of the Banshee has a little bit of both. It's probably the cheesiest movie on this list, but Vincent Price fans have to check it out.
Forget the forest. No houses made of gingerbread. Not a single boiling cauldron. Dario Argento's Giallo masterpiece, Suspiria, brings a coven of witches to an elite European dance school. Like most Giallo movies, Suspiria's story is illogical and almost incoherent. And as for dialogue, the less said the better. But it's an absolute surrrealist nightmare. Everything is garish and over-the-top. Argento created a world washed in bright, unnatural primary colours. Italian rock band Goblin's soundtrack is an intentionally disruptive music score. Arguably, Goblin's work on Suspiria is one of the most distinct horror movie scores ever made. You won't find many horror movies as haunting as Suspiria.
Pumpkinhead (1988)
Pumpkinhead didn't make much of impression in theaters. But like many underrated movies, Oscar-winning special effects wizard Stan Winston's directorial debut found new life on videostore shelves. Forget CGI effects. This story about a grieving father and a vengeance demon boasted some of Winston's classic creature effects. Aside from horror veteran Lance Henriksen, it's a novice cast but some stiff dialogue never detracts from the movie. Ultimately, Pumpkinhead is a southern horror fairy tale warning about the costs of revenge. Everyone remembers Winston's gangly monster, but the witch is no less creepy.
The Craft (1996)
Upon its release, The Craft was a modest success with a 90's-defining soundtrack. Over the years, however, The Craft has built a loyal following of fans. In addition to an upcoming remake, Funko POP even announced a line of figures based on the movie. Yes, The Craft is pure teen horror that plays it relatively safe. Certainly, there's an MTV-feel to the movie to accompany its soundtrack. Nonetheless, The Craft's story of sisterhood and the care taken to flesh out its female leads sets it apart. Moreover, The Craft hit on a number of issues that have only become more socially relevant. While it's an ideal candidate for a contemporary re-imagining, the original movie remains very watchable.
The Blair Witch Project (1999)
What else can be said about The Blair Witch Project? It's the movie that launched the found-footage horror subgenre. In the summer of 1999, The Blair Witch Project was a box office phenomenon. The story of three missing documentary filmmakers and their recovered video footage scared people out of the woods the same way Jaws cleared out ocean beaches. Before social media, The Blair Witch Project previewed what viral marketing campaigns would become in the future. And it's a damn scary movie to boot – a perfectly paced slow-burn. Though the titular witch is never revealed, Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez weave in a rich mythology for her. That final shot of Mike standing in the corner before the camera drops to the ground is lingering and unnerving.
Lords of Salem (2013)
Though The Devil's Rejects remains Rob Zombie's best movie, Lords of Salem is underrated. It was a significant step forward for Zombie as a filmmaker. When a popular radio DJ in Salem, Massachusetts, plays an anonymous band, The Lords, she experiences increasingly haunting images. And it doesn't help that her kind, helpful neighbours are witches. Think Rosemary's Baby meets Ken Russell's The Devils. For perhaps the first time in his filmmaking career, Zombie showed restraint. That is, the shock director focused more on atmosphere than grindhouse gore. Zombie actually instills a steadily growing dread. The Lords' 'song' is haunting and the ending is a 'mind fuck' that references Kubrick in all the right ways.
The Witch (2015)
Robert Eggers' directorial debut, The Witch, is haunting. It's the 'evil witch in the woods' straight out of a Grimm Brothers' fairy tale, but so much more. Despite its challenging old English dialogue, The Witch instantly immerses the audience in its uneasy atmosphere. While the violence is sparse, Eggers' imagery disturbs. This is an ambiguous psychological horror movie about the 'devil' in people's own hearts. You'll be left guessing where the true threat lies right to the very end. And Eggers' final image is one of the more unsettling endings since The Blair Witch Project. Besides, any movie that can make a goat utterly terrifying must be good, right?
The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)
Norwegian director André Øvredal's (Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark) The Autopsy of Jane Doe is arguably the most unique movie on this list. A mix of supernatural and mystery, The Autopsy of Jane Doe largely limits its story to a single setting – a funeral home. Father and son morticians conduct an autopsy on a 'Jane Doe' with no visible injuries. But each of the autopsy uncovers horrific damage that defies rational explanation. By and large, this is quiet, restrained horror. While there are a few jump scares, they're neither forced nor telegraphed with loud noises. Atmosphere, tension, and an eerily unfolding puzzle are the orders of they day. Simply put, The Autopsy of Jane Doe is one of the more interesting uses of witch folklore in horror.
