HYDROCHEMISTRY, HYDROBIOLOGY: ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS
The accumulation of organochlorine compounds (OCs) and mercury in the bottom sediments of the Chernorechenskoe Reservoir since the mid-1960s to 2008 has been studied. Sedimentation rate and accumulation chronology of recovered sediments were reconstructed by the method of radioisotope dating . The sedimentation rate in the reservoir has been found to vary because of changes in reservoir volume and area in the late 1980s. Historical reconstruction of the input of OCs and mercury into the reservoir sediments in the recent 50 years has been performed. The period of 1950–1960 has been found to show considerable pollution of reservoir sediment by DDT and mercury. The spatial distribution of OCs and mercury has been determined in the top 5-cm layer of bottom sediments in the Chernorechenskoe Reservoir. The deposition rates of OCs and total mercury into bottom sediments in 2008 have been evaluated.

You'd think that as a trained mediator, coach and facilitator I'd not have any difficulty discussing difficult issues with anyone.
But no – I've been putting off an important conversation for months… I've been gradually retreating from the relationship, hiding away or escaping to try to cope with my frustration. And why?
But, today I did it. I opened up the conversation – and now, as I'm typing this, I feel huge relief. My migraine has gone, I feel lighter, the other person now appreciates my perspective – and I understand theirs – and we have come to a number of agreements that will mean both our needs will be met, going forward.
What precipitated me raising the issue was the happy coincidence of a few conversations last night and today about conflict, and the reluctance of people, or their inability, to communicate about issues in the conflict. My advice was to explore couples counselling; and in the other case to find out about mediation – but in both cases to talk to the other person first – before bringing in a third party.
I realised that the situation could not get much worse, and I knew in my heart of hearts – from past professional experience – that to clear the air could only help.
As a mediator facing up to your own vulnerability is a valuable thing – after all, we are asking people to take action to resolve a conflict that has grown huge in their minds also.
And it's strengthened my resolve to do more to raise awareness about the value of mediation in bringing people together to resolve disputes, and providing free resources that will help people tackle these difficult conversations.

The overall economic conditions in many parts of the state of Missouri are far from being healthy. The global financial meltdown of several years past is still making fiscal waves, and a quick look at the job and wage-situation makes this very clear. With an average weekly wage level around $750, Missouri is one of only 10 states that suffered negative wage growth in 2015.
While some new jobs have been created, many of these are in low-paying industries such as hospitality, food service, production, and low-end construction. As the wages paid by these sectors continue to stagnate, the costs of necessities continue to skyrocket. The effects of this situation are clearly illustrated in communities such as St. Joseph. With a per capita income of around $19,000 per year and rents beginning to push $800-it's easy to see that many of the residents of this city may be living from check to check.
This is all taking place before life steps in and does its worst. Issues that may include job loss, bankruptcy, foreclosure, eviction, illness, injury, divorce, and death are always ready to take a toll. While far from avoidable, many of these calamities can be endured if those suffering from them have access to cash in their times of need.
The regular banks seem to have very little interest in helping those affected by the issues of life. Unless loan applicants already have significant assets or world-class credit scores they will likely be shown the door if they dare to apply for financial assistance.
Thankfully, there is another game in town, and it's known as a title loan. This is simply a cash advance that can be provided to anyone that can produce a clear title to their vehicle. Here on the Midwest Title Lender site, job number one is to make this process easy for our visitors who are seeking title loans in St. Joseph.
The procedure for applying for title loans here on the Midwest Title site has been made as convenient and quick as possible for our valued visitors. Since staff members will be reaching out to clients during the course of this process, the first step will be for customers to list some basic contact information in the provided spaces. Name, phone number, and email address will be some necessary elements.
Once this is taken care of, clients should tell us a little bit about the vehicle that will be used as collateral in the transaction. The year, make, color, and mileage should all be included. It bears noting that in addition to cars and trucks, motorcycles are quite welcome.
After this rapid step is done, customers will receive a prompt quote from the proprietary online title loan calculator. This will serve to give them an idea of just how much cash may be waiting for them once the process is complete.
The final step will be for a professional and helpful Midwest Title Lender loan specialist to contact individual customers, answer all of their questions, and finalize the deal.
The laws covering getting title loans in Kansas City are easy enough for the layperson to understand. When prospective loan recipients present the collateral vehicle to get the process started, they should be prepared to produce the valid and clear title to it at the same time. If they do so, they will almost always qualify for the requested funds. When it comes to payments, some customers prefer to work with a 30-day plan, while others may need a longer time window.
When closely compared, title loans offer some interesting perks that regular bank loans just can't match. Included are the following items.
No credit checks. The vehicle that is used in the transaction is also the collateral, making any kind of credit check redundant.
No background checks. No matter what the past may have held, everyone who needs Midwest title loans deserves a chance to build a better tomorrow.
Use the vehicle. Our valued customers who've received title loans in Missouri are free to hold on to and continue to operate the collateral vehicle while the loan is being repaid.
It is easy to see that the economy isn't working too well for many of the residents of the state. That being said, visitors that are here on the Midwest Title Lender site seeking title loans in St. Joseph are definitely on the right track.

News / Edinburgh & East
Dangerous driver jailed for six years after fireball death crash
Ednilson De Ceita's BMW X5 collided with Jonathan Smith's Peugeot 206 on May 25, 2018.
Jailed: Ednilson De Ceita was convicted of the fatal crash. Police Scotland
By Dave Finlay
A dangerous driver who killed another motorist in a horrific crash after speeding and going onto the opposite carriageway has been jailed for six years.
Ednilson De Ceita's BMW X5 collided with Jonathan 'jonny' Smith's Peugeot 206, resulting in the 29-year-old victim suffering a serious head injury and his car going up in flames.
During sentencing at the High Court in Edinburgh on Friday, judge Lord Beckett said: "You gave Mr Smith no chance of surviving the collision."
The judge said Mr Smith was "a wholly innocent young man" who had spent much of his last day caring for a brother who was recovering from illness.
Lord Beckett said he had read "harrowing statements" from the victim's relatives and was given information about "Jonathan's life and work and hopes and dreams".
He said: "They explain the devastation brought on them.
"I am left in no doubt that a number of his close relatives have suffered grievous consequences for their physical and mental health.
"I have reached the conclusion there is no alternative to a custodial sentence because of the gravity of the crimes you have committed."
De Ceita, 29, had earlier denied causing the death of Mr Smith by driving dangerously on May 25, 2018, on the A902 Maybury Road, Edinburgh, by driving at excessive speed, onto the opposite carriageway and into the path of oncoming vehicles before colliding with the Peugeot and another vehicle, but was found guilty by a jury.
He was also convicted of driving at the time of the fatal collision without a valid licence or insurance.
The court heard that De Ceita, a property firm manager from Edinburgh, was a first offender who had never previously served a jail sentence.
Advocate depute Michael Meehan QC told the trial: "At the time of the impact the BMW X5 was being driven at 63mph."
The prosecutor said there was evidence that the vehicle was driven into an area of hatched marking on the roadway prior to it taking a deviation to the right.
He said De Ceita had given differing accounts to the police of going to the left and right and stated that he saw an Audi coming towards him and into his lane and took evasive action.
But he also said that the phone of a female passenger in his vehicle sounded as if it had received a notification and he turned to her for "about half a second" to ask who the message was from, before turning back.
He claimed that when he turned back, he saw a set of headlights which appeared to be on full beam directly in front of him.
But Mr Meehan said there was clear evidence of "driver distraction".
"He turned his head away and turned his head back," he told jurors.
The prosecutor said that failures to move to the near side, to observe the speed limit and road markings amounted to dangerous driving.
Defence counsel Ronnie Renucci QC said De Ceita now accepted that he was aware at the time that a licence he had was not valid.
He said: "At the time he didn't believe he had been speeding or think he was, but now accepts that he was."
Mr Renucci said: "These cases are particularly tragic and that is not lost on De Ceita.
"It is a personal tragedy for him and his family, but of course he recognises and accepts that is really nothing to the impact of his actions on Mr Smith and Mr Smith's family.
"He totally regrets his actions. He has expressed genuine remorse over the death of Mr Smith. He recognises that is something he will have to live with for the rest of his life that he is responsible for the death of another."
De Ceita was banned from driving for nine years and until he passes an extended driving test.
Following the court case, detective chief inspector Graham Grant said: "There were a number of complexities to this investigation but officers remained determined and committed to establish what caused this crash and cost Jonny his life.
"Ednilson Ceita failed to admit that his actions resulted in this catastrophic event.
"We found that he was driving at excessive speed, ultimately swerving into oncoming traffic, which led to his BMW colliding with the Peugeot being driven by Mr Smith and another vehicle.
"Jonny's family have had to wait over three years for justice. They have been dignified and resolute throughout and I hope that today's verdict offers them some form of comfort.
"I'd like to thank my investigation team, our colleagues in the Road Policing Unit and other elements of the organisation who contributed to the outcome, but most importantly to Jonny's family, friends, and the wider community he was an integral part of, for their support during our investigation."

Six Months into 'Dieselgate' Scandal, Gloom Deepens in VW's Hometown
BY The News
18 of March 2016

With workers fearing for their jobs and the dive in VW's fortunes hitting Wolfsburg's municipal finances, few people see any light at the end of the tunnel
WOLFSBURG, Germany — When Martin Winterkorn dropped by to order some new glasses in the Volkswagen company town of Wolfsburg, he was "visibly dejected", according to his optician. But the visit wasn't last September, when Winterkorn had just quit as the German carmaker's chief, it was this week.
Six months into the "Dieselgate" affair surrounding VW, the mood in Wolfsburg — where almost half the population works at its giant car factory or in related businesses — is as gloomy as Winterkorn's, and shows little sign of recovering.
Volkswagen remains mired in the scandal over its rigging of U.S. exhaust emissions tests, facing a barrage of lawsuits and grappling with a stalled German vehicle recall.
With workers fearing for their jobs and the dive in VW's fortunes hitting Wolfsburg's municipal finances, few people see any light at the end of the tunnel.

This appeared to include 68-year-old Winterkorn when he visited optician Ehme de Riese on March 14.
"Winterkorn was visibly dejected," de Riese told Reuters. "He is haunted by the question of what will happen to his life's work and to the Volkswagen company."
Winterkorn was on a fleeting visit — de Riese said the engineer has moved to Munich since the scandal ended his long career at the firm which has its headquarters in Wolfsburg.
De Riese runs three branches in Wolfsburg, and supplies glasses to half of VW's executive board. As such, he fears that heavy penalties could force VW to scale back operations in the town, which lies about 200 km (120 miles) west of Berlin.
To boost morale, he has spent €30,000 ($34,000) on pro-VW newspaper advertisements and badges which are plastered all over his central branch on the Porschestrasse, Wolfsburg's main shopping street which is named after Ferdinand Porsche — creator of the iconic VW Beetle.
PAINFUL SETBACK
Not all is bad. Deliveries across the VW group swung back into growth in January and February, helped by incentives to buyers, after falling for the first time in years in 2015.
But the feeling among businessmen and workers is that things now look even worse than in December, when three months after the revelations of the test rigging, VW finally held its first news conference on the crisis.
Since then, the U.S. government has sued VW for up to $46 billion for violating environmental rules and extended its inquiries to cover bank fraud law, while a flood of private and investor lawsuits has swept in.
Then this week, Germany's KBA motoring regulator said it was holding up a recall of VW Passats that is intended to make them comply with emissions regulations.
This is a painful setback for VW, which in November touted its simple emissions fix for 8.5 million cars in Europe as a precursor to pulling out of the crisis.
Even Moody's, which still has a relatively positive opinion of Volkswagen compared with its fellow credit rating agencies, is prepared for things to get worse.
"The emissions issue is likely to have a number of adverse effects on Volkswagen's future earnings and cash flows, which may only become visible over time," Matthias Hellstern, managing director of Moody's corporate finance team in Frankfurt, told Reuters.

Earlier this month Winterkorn's successor, Matthias Mueller, warned workers gathered in Wolfsburg that the scandal would inflict "substantial and painful" financial damage. Gauging the full extent of this would take years, he added.
At the same time, the company's powerful labour leader warned that the extent of possible job cuts would depend "decisively" on the level of U.S. fines.
"Should the future viability of Volkswagen be endangered by an unprecedented financial penalty, this will have dramatic social consequences," works council chairman Bernd Osterloh told more than 20,000 workers.
People in Wolfsburg are also worried about VW's failure to agree with U.S. authorities on how to fix rigged U.S. cars. Another concern is a risk of internal strife at VW headquarters as managers and labour bosses start hammering out a new wage contract next month for 115,000 workers in western Germany.
"It feels like a persistent stream of bad news," said Thomas Ilsemann, managing director of travel agency Flugboerse in the city center. "VW is anywhere but on solid ground."
Ilsemann said the main factor weighing on his business was fear of terror attacks at holiday destinations.
Nevertheless, bookings by temporary VW staff, whose jobs are less secure than those on open-ended contracts, are falling, he said. Also, executives from some local component suppliers opted not to attend the Detroit auto show, an industry fixture, in January.
The Wolfsburg car factory employs about 60,000 people in a town of about 125,000. Covering an area three times the size of Monaco, the plant built 815,000 cars last year.
VW has started to reduce temporary jobs, mainly in production, at some of its German factories and plans to cut 3,000 office positions by the end of 2017.
Only a few employees were willing to speak to the media outside the factory gates. One who would, 48-year-old Jochen Schmelzer, said he has stopped playing football fearing he might lose his job if suffered a sports injury.
"Crises are part of life here in Wolfsburg but this one is different," he said when arriving for the late shift. "We still don't know the size of the damage. The uncertainty is the worst of all," added Schmelzer, a father of two who has worked on assembling the top-selling Golf since 2007.
That said, VW will run 22 extra shifts making Tiguan, Touran and Golf models in the first half of 2016 to service strong demand. Some local people are determined to see the positive side – if not now, then later.
"I have had my fill of bad news already," Wolfsburg Mayor Klaus Mohrs said. "There is an element of uncertainty. But there is also the feeling that things will get better afterwards.
"The attitude among people here is that we'll get out of this crisis in two to three years."
Few towns are as dependent on a single company as Wolfsburg. Mohrs said he expects business taxes to decline to about 130 million euros this year, from 277 million in 2014, as VW's profits are hit by fines, lawsuits and recall costs.
The carmaker set aside 6.7 billion euros in the third quarter last year to cover the costs of vehicle recalls, and is expected to increase the provisions next month.
When the scandal broke, Mohrs announced an immediate freeze on municipal spending and a hiring ban.
Asked if penalties could undermine jobs at VW, he said: "I am not relaxed on this matter … but I think the implications will be more visible at sites other than in Wolfsburg."
Ever the optimist, de Riese is planning to open a fourth store in Wolfsburg in June, aimed at young customers.
"I'm adding a new brand, just like VW did in the good times," he said. "It's important to bounce back, especially in such tough times."

What can Bill Belichick teach us about leadership?
There are many different definitions and interpretations of "success," but on the professional football front, it is safe to say that Bill Belichick embodies the term through and through. Belichick is one of the winningest coaches in NFL history, and he has led the New England Patriots to five Super Bowl titles since the early 2000s (and he is currently in pursuit of a sixth).
Belichick recently discussed his five rules to exceptional leadership. Here, I will examine several of these points and the lessons we can learn from them.
This preemptive strategy may serve you well in your own leadership role; lay out major company goals and potential challenges and nip them in the bud by planning in advance. Then, when these matters enter the foreground, you will be even more prepared.
Belichick strongly believes that culture beats strategy "every time." In the NFL, it is obvious that rostered players have the abilities to play well; it is their cohesion as a unit that will ultimately win them championships. To fortify this characteristic, Belichick is said to hold a revolving door of team building exercises, including trivia nights and Navy SEAL training sessions, that help to establish team culture off the field.
In business leadership, this blend of in-office and out-of-office team building can be just as vital, as your company's success will likely hinge on both personal chemistry and collective work ethic. A nice balance of fun and hard work will not only facilitate a strong bond between your employees, it will also keep them motivated and mentally sharp.
Leaders must exhibit some form of enduring passion to keep their employees happy and ready to work. It is no secret that Belichick's passion for his craft is mostly introverted — he is usually a man of few words and low tones — but his undeniable tenacity has kept him coming back year after year, usually to consistent success.
However you plan to implement your passion, make sure you are leading by example in terms of drive, motivation, and focus. No one is saying you have to bounce off the walls on a daily basis, but just as Belichick proves annually, infectious passion can take many forms; the first step is finding your niche.

The Great British Bake Off hit out screens last night with another installment of soggy bottoms and burnt pastries, mixed in with some great baking and cake making.
If the show hasn't encouraged you to get in the kitchen and bake then we hope these top 10 new kitchen trends will!
Have a look at what's hot in the kitchen this year with these latest must have kitchen design ideas, and remember if you sell your house with BetterMove we charge no commission! So you can pass on the saving to a kitchen upgrade in your new property.
With the rise of open-plan living, kitchen companies like Scavolini have witnessed a shift towards hidden storage. 'The Switchunit is an excellent case in point,' says Vittorio Naldi, the company's UK branch manager. 'It features pocket doors that slide seamlessly out of sight when the kitchen is in use, but cover up its contents when guests come calling.
Open-plan kitchens have revolutionised the way we cook and entertain, but they do have their niggles. For a start, where do you hide all the dirty pots and pans from dinner guests? So if you're after a little more privacy, broken plan might be for you.
The concept is simple – take an open-plan design but add in a freestanding shelf unit or raised breakfast bar to create separation without the need for a full-on wall.
'This more zoned approach is an evolution of open-planned living and allows for a more sociable experience for everyone,' says Daniele Brutto, co-founder of Hub Kitchens.
Feel like you're on holiday all year around with a kitchen inspired by warmer climes. Pinterest data reveals that there has been a 128% rise in searches and saves for Moroccan-inspired décor, with 'Moroccan tiles' (+71%) and 'Moroccan splashbacks' (+66%) really gaining momentum.
A new way to add pattern – and your own unique stamp – on your kitchen, is to choose an intricate door design. Magnet's Chevron Grey cabinetry shown, is available with a distinctive grooved door. Use it everywhere for a dramatic statement, or more sparingly on an island or dresser-style area.
If these patterned doors are too big a leap into the design unknown, you could choose a 'safer' route, such as adding herringbone patterned tiles, or a bold feature wallpaper.
Picking a kitchen used to be all about settling on the right colour and style. But there's more to it that than these days, as more and more of us start taking the environment into account. Pinterest reports that searches and saves for 'eco kitchens' have risen by 164%, those for organic materials' have gone up by 139% and 'Plywood' has seen a 139% increase.
Layered plywood cabinetry can look great in a traditional or modern setting thanks to its pale unassuming finish, and we expect it to be big in 2018. Also expect to see cork flooring, concrete tiles, walnut worktops and bamboo lighting in more kitchens up and down the country.

Pubertal status and psychosocial development: Findings from the Early Adolescence Study
Lisa J. Crockett, University of Nebraska-LincolnFollow
Anne C. Petersen, Pennsylvania State UniversityFollow
Anne C. Petersen
Published in: Biological-Psychosocial Interactions in Early Adolescence, edited by Richard M. Lerner and Terryl T. Foch. Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Publishers. Hillsdale, New Jersey, 1987. Copyright © 1987 by Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc. Used by permission.
Beginning in 1978, we have conducted a longitudinal study of early adolescent development. A major objective of this research has been to examine the influence of pubertal changes on other aspects of development during this period. With regard to pubertal effects we wished to address two major questions. First, what aspects of behavior seem to be affected by pubertal development? (In other words, are pubertal effects pervasive or relatively circumscribed, and if they are circumscribed, which aspects of behavior are involved?) Second, how does pubertal change exert an influence--does it operate directly on specific aspects of behavior and performance (for example, via direct effects of pubertal hormones on the brain), or are pubertal effects more often indirect through the stimulus effects of somatic pubertal changes and mediated by psychological and social factors? Thus far, most of our efforts have been directed toward answering the first question; we have only recently begun to explore the second.
Our approach to the question of pubertal effects has involved considering two aspects of pubertal development: (1) level of pubertal maturation (pubertal status) at a particular point in time (in this case, a particular grade level in school); and (2) timing of puberty, that is, whether adolescents are early, on time, or late in their pubertal development relative to their peers. In the first case, we are able to detect differences in behavior that are a function of pubertal status, controlling for grade level in school. Moreover, by comparing the patterns of effects at one grade with those at another we can attempt to replicate findings. This procedure yields a fairly direct indication of which aspects of behavior are influenced by pubertal change and which of these effects are reliable. On the other hand, by comparing early, on time, and late developers on various indices of psychosocial development, we can explore the effects of being deviant in pubertal timing relative to one's peers. Previous research in this area (e.g., Clausen, 1975; Jones & Bayley, 1950; Jones & Mussen, 1958; Mussen & Jones, 1957) suggests that deviance in this regard may be associated with lower self-image and related adjustment problems, particularly in the case of early-maturing girls and late-maturing boys (the two groups that are most deviant in pubertal timing relative to the majority of peers).
Thus far we have examined pubertal status effects within grade with respect to a variety of constructs, including cognitive performance, school achievement, moods, relationships with parents, relationships with same-sex and other-sex peers, self-image, and satisfaction with one's appearance. Additional analyses comparing early, on time, and late maturers are reported elsewhere (Petersen & Crockett, in press) and are only summarized here.

2017-2018 Public Services: Class+ hours decreased as the program focused more on upper division courses while eliminating offerings with historically low attendance. The front desk hours were streamlined to save money by aiming for two student workers at a time instead of three. Tutoring hours were also decreased to save money, especially since TAF was eliminated as tutoring funding as of December 31, 2017.
2016-2017 Public Services: There were more student workers in Public Services because the Class+ and tutoring program continue to grow. The library hours expanded so it opens at 7:30am on certain days and closes at 2am, requiring more front desk student workers. Additionally, the front desk now manages all student technology checkout, which is so busy it requires more students per shift.
2015-2016 Public Services: Total hours of Public Services student workers increased, mostly in tutoring and Class+. Library money spent on student workers also increased because tutors and Class+ Leaders must have specific experience and qualification, which is not always obtainable with scholarship and/or work study students. The library also received TAF dollars to help pay for tutor salaries.
2014-2015 Public Services: Beginning in August, 2014, university tutoring came under the Library's Public Services. Beginning tutors make $8/hour then make $9/hour when they become CRLA certified Level 1, then make $10/hour when they become certified Level 2. Circulation student workers all make $7.25/hour.
2013-2014 Public Services: The total hours and money spent for Public Services decreased significantly this year. The two contributing factors to this decrease are the elimination of the Media Center as a separate service point with student workers and the fact that Government Publications was moved out of Public Services. Therefore, there were only two departments using student workers this year in Public Services: circulation and interlibrary loan.
2012-2013 Public Services: Circulation requires the most budget for student workers due to the library operating hours. Beginning in Spring 2013, the library began reducing the amount of student worker hours and the amount of regular students hired in order to reduce expenditures. This practice will continue for the 2013-2014 year so there should be less money spent on student workers.

"Colorado Native" is a style as big, natural, and beautiful as it sounds. Such spaces aim to mimic the natural landscapes of Colorado's topography and botany, integrating boulders and stone work, large river rock, heavy woodwork (stereotypical log cabins may come to mind), and a colorful marriage of deciduous pops among a sea of coniferous greenery.
"Traditional" is a broad term essentially including those spaces that can't be categorized into a regional or era-specific style. Traditional American spaces will often include brick or stone work paired with a mishmash of additional elements, such as columns, full gardens, hedges, and hedges, among many others.
Modern living spaces are often characterized by angular, boxy edges, monochromatic or duo-tone schemes, and a heavy incorporation of negative space. Words like "clean," "sophisticated," or "minimalist" are commonplace descriptions. Modern spaces seek to serve as focal points in their surroundings regardless of other styles.
Mediterranean style as we know it today incorporates elements of the Spanish and Italian Renaissance, Spanish Colonial, and Arabic Andalusian and Venetian Gothic architecture, among others. It seeks to spark parallels with iconic styles of the Mediterranean region, such as Florence, Italy, and often incorporates features such as red tiled roofing, stuccoed walls, wrought iron fencing, and arches.

Thoughts on Christian faith here.
I want to be real with God. I want Him to be real with me. I am so all done with perpetually effervescent charismatic caricatures gushing the latest gift or revelation. I can't comply with the rank and file of brittle, painted saints, stuffed with a thousand minor pieties and doctrinal dissections. Perfection is and never really was an option. Best I can muster is honesty and a constant diet of repentance.
I think there are phases of growth in our personal understanding of God. Stages to practical theology, if you will. To use a contested term, I think we evolve in our understanding of him, his Word, and how to implement His reality in our lives. Truth and Reality are Objective, but we view them through the lens of our worldview. The clearer, deeper, more accurate, the better we can comprehend and conform to his will and his image. I parallel this to Astronomy and Mankind's expanding understanding of the universe.
1. Primitive Phase: new convert stage. We think it all really revolves around us. Like newborns. We experience the love, the sense of purpose, personal intimacy, assistance, grace… That's all true and real, but we filter it through an immature selfishness. We acknowledge God's Sovereignty, but in practice, we get upset when it's not all about us.
2. Copernicus Strikes: Given some time and disappointments, we bump into enough hard facts to recognize we are not the center of the universe, God is. What do you know, Rick W was right: It really isn't all about us – it's about Him. We admit God might love us but doesn't spoil us. He truly is the Eternal and Sovereign God, far above all Principality and Power, dwelling in unapproachable light. Amen.
Here's where Classic confirmation bias kicks in. We tailor everything those expectations, discarding what doesn't conform. It's safe, predictable, certain… but it's also small and inherently false.
3. When the Dark Matter hits the Fan: Given a peculiar combination of time and circumstances, everyone gets Black Hole and Hubble Revelations. Light gets sucked in. Gravity hits like a runaway freight train. Your conceptions get shattered. The Universe is a big, scary place – Really big and really scary. It's not at all what we thought and we're very, very uncomfortable.
We discover yes, there are laws and principles. Yes, there is a vast, complex harmony that keeps it spinning. But there are ellipses, apogees, perigees, anomalies, deformities. Gravity, light, time actually change in strange relationships to mass and each other. They aren't constant and perfect and uniform. The universe is mind-blowing, frightening, so much bigger and stranger than any one, or all of us.
But this is actually the God who saved me in the first place. This vast, complex, confusing, Creator, Sustainer, Sovereign and Savior. He hasn't changed. I have. Even more humbling; he's been waiting for me to get to this precipice. After all, He brought me here. He is the Author and Finisher of my faith.
Time to start believing that.

Fred VanVleet working to become more explosive
campussportswriter | Aug 10, 2015 1:20 pm | Apr 26, 2018 5:17 pm
Wichita State Shockers point guard Fred VanVleet is on the cusp of his final college season, and he's looking to go out with a bang in working to become a more explosive player.
Speaking to Paul Suellentrop of the Wichita Eagle, VanVleet has lost a few pounds and thus improved his dunking game and ability to drive the lane.
Strength and conditioning coach Kerry Rosenboom offered more.
"As much as it helps your jumping, it helps your lateral movement, quickness, you're getting more explosive," VanVleet said. "I've already got a lot of finishes I can do, and I think as my vertical increases, hopefully, I'll get more finishes that I can do and it's going to be scary for a lot of people."
Becoming more explosive at the point certainly couldn't hurt VanVleet, as he didn't show himself to be one of the more athletic point men last season at 5-foot-11, 195 pounds. Though he was second on the team in scoring with 13.7 points per game and first with 5.2 assists, he shot just 43 percent from the field and looked greatly outmatched in his offensive approach.
But now that he has spent the offseason getting in better shape so that he may become a better contributor on the offensive side, VanVleet could truly be primed for a breakout senior season. Wichita State has slowly gone from a mid-major to a regular contender over the past few seasons, and a stronger VanVleet combined with teammate Ron Baker is only going to continue that trend.
So long as he can up his conditioning game on top of his new skills, the Shockers are definitely going to be a team to watch in 2015-16.

Madilyn Paige made her first national splash as a contestant on the sixth season of NBC's televised singing competition The Voice, which aired in the early months of 2014.
Paige may have been eliminated in the first round of playoffs, but her earnest blend of empowerment and modern, electronic-glazed pop found an audience outside of television, particularly among listeners of faith.
Raised in Provo, Utah, Paige was drawn to music at an early age. She also began pursuing it professionally at an early age, earning a slot on The Voice when she was 16. Paige wound up on Blake Shelton's team, surviving until the playoffs at the end of the season. Once she left the show, Paige maintained her fan base by releasing new material -- both covers and originals -- online.

Demand for gallium, produced mainly as a by-product of zinc and bauxite ores, is expected to continue to grow during the next few years, driven by new applications such as fifth generation (5G) smartphones, wireless, and solar cells, and by the use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which are replacing incandescent and fluorescent lamps in lighting applications.
Production-wise, the market is adequately supplied and expected to remain so, with an estimated production of over 400t primary gallium in 2018, up by nearly 100t compared to 2017. Global output of primary gallium rose strongly between 2009 and 2015. In 2016, it fell as producers outside of China, including Japan, South Korea, Russia, and Ukraine, restricted their output owing to a large surplus of gallium. That year, Germany ceased production.
During the last decade, China has remained the leading producer for primary gallium, accounting for more than 80% of worldwide low-grade capacity. Chinese gallium output surged by over 30% y-on-y in 2018. Between 2010 and 2013, the country's capacity for production of primary gallium had tripled in expectation of growing demand for GaN LEDs for backlighting of liquid crystal display (LCD) panels used in tablet computers, mobile phones and TVs. At the time, while there was considerable growth in demand from this sector, the supply of gallium far outgrew requirements.
Demand for gallium has rapidly increased since 2014 as general lighting moved away from incandescent and fluorescent lamps to LEDs. General lighting is expected to remain a substantial sector for LEDs until the worldwide conversion to LEDs is complete.
A growing demand in all sectors for semiconductor (SC) and semi-insulator (SI) properties, which represents about 90% of gallium consumption, will lead to higher growth rates in the coming years. Most gallium is used as gallium arsenide (GaAs) or gallium nitride (GaN) devices.
Sectors in the gallium arsenide (GaAs) industry are expected to remain the largest end use market until 2025. Meanwhile, global gallium nitride (GaN) power device market is expected to grow by almost 30% in terms of value between 2017 and 2023.
Between 2014 and 2017, GaAs device demand increased from US$6.25bn to US$8.8bn. Consumption was boosted by growing wireless infrastructure in Asia coupled with the development of third (3G) and fourth (4G) generation smartphones and the use of military radar and communications applications.
5G is expected to be the next big catalyst for radio-frequency (RF) GaN and should increase the size of market threefold by 2023 compared to 2017.
The use of GaN components over silicon could represent significant opportunities in the future as silicon has reached its limits in solving critical power systems challenges. It is anticipated that GaN technology could help address the demand for energy efficient technologies.
After a five-year decline until the end of 2016 due to oversupply, gallium prices in China started to recover in 2017, with a 40% increase in 2018, as a result of restocking by consumers. In Europe, prices dropped at the end of 2018 owing to oversupply. The market, steady but still oversupplied, is likely to keep prices low in the short term, but longer-term prices may move higher in response to strong market demand.

Mustafa Announces Establishment of Sports and Youth Commission
Head of the Syrian Interim Government (SIG), Abdurrahman Mustafa, announced the establishment of the Sports and Youth Commission at a press conference held in the Turkish city of Gaziantep on Monday.
The conference was attended by Secretary of the political committee and Coordinator of the Office of Unions and Sports Federations Abdul Majeed Barakat, and a number of Syrian youth and athletes.
Mustafa stressed the importance of the move as it represents the organizational nucleus and the basis for institutionalizing the sports activities and framing them within organized revolutionary structures and bodies. The move will also ensure better representation of the Syrian youth in the liberated areas and host countries.
Head of the Sports and Youth Commission, Ahmed Al-Khatib, thanked the Syrian Opposition Coalition and the Syrian Interim Government for granting him the confidence, pointing out that the birth of the Commission came after lengthy and difficult preparations.
He pointed out that this move would not have been achieved without the absolute support of the SOC and SIG as well as the efforts of the free and devoted Syrian athletes. He also said that the Commission will prioritize the consolidation of the culture of team work, the integration of Syrian young athletes into the Commission, secure support for individual and team games, and participation in regional and international tournaments.
Deputy Head of the Commission, Hassan Qaseh, expressed his hope that the establishment of the Commission will be a milestone in the history of the free Syrian sports, stressing the importance of working to ensure that the Syrian youth are present in all the revolutionary sports and non-sports institutions.

OPELIKA, Ala. – Aaron Baddeley made a 24-foot putt on the fourth hole of a playoff with Si Woo Kim to win the Barbasol Championship on Sunday at Grand National.
Baddeley broke into a celebratory run off the green, tossed his club in the air and flung his cap back onto the green after his fourth PGA Tour victory. The Australian secured a two-year exemption and a spot in the PGA Championship, but not the Masters.
Both parred the first three holes of the playoff, three on 18 and the third on 17.
Woo parred 18 again after Baddeley had already clinched his first win since the 2011 Northern Trust Open.
Baddeley finished with a 5-under 66 to match Kim at 18-under 266. Kim shot a 63, closing with a bogey.

Matalan profits rise
19 December 2007 By Laura Weir
Discount retailer Matalan, which was taken private in a deal worth more than £800 last year, has revealed an 8.5% increase in pre-tax profits.
The retailer grew profits to £28.1m during the year to February 24, a period which included the first two months of trading as a private company. However, turnover fell 2.6% to £1.03 billion over the same period.
Matalan chief executive Alistair McGeorge told The Daily Telegraph that the group's debt repayments were ahead of schedule.
He added: "Whilst last year remained difficult, currently we are well ahead of delivering our plan."
He said that the retailer's 24 new format stores were delivering strong like-for-like sales and added: "We have invested significantly in our stores and we plan to accelerate our store investment programme in the new year. Costs and cashflow are under far better control."

We believe following Jesus initiates a new life full of unlimited potential that is developed through discipleship.
A disciple is a learner. They are learning a new way of life and a new way of thinking about the world based on the life and teachings of Jesus.
Helping a disciple mature from just being a learner to become a leader who loves God passionately and loves others radically.
We work to reach, teach, and train baseball players for the purpose of sending them out to make disciples of Jesus who love God passionately and love others radically.
Jesus selected a few men and then began to teach and to train those men in the context of a small group. We try to follow his example by teaching and training a few men at a time in the context of small groups that are designed in a way that focuses on obedience to Jesus and authentic life transformation.
The baseball clubhouse is a place that players often miss the most during the offseason and especially once life after baseball begins. Our retreats are designed to recreate the clubhouse environment and to help players reconnect with other players.

Q: Automated export of a table/query from SQL SVR 2012 into Excel 2007 and subsequent VBA formatting macro? I've been given the task of updating some code which isn't working after our SQL SVR 200 to SQL SVR 2012 (don't laugh) conversion.  We have an automated task that creates 500ish xls files in a line-by-line manner by using the old sp_OACreate command.  In 2000, this job always takes hours and is rickety at best.  Needless to say, it doesn't work at all in 2012.  That's what you get for never upgrading?
I rewrote the job by constructing a table, adding info into the table, & doing a bulk export into xls (using OpenRowSet).  The new task ran in less than 15 minutes and I was ecstatic.  Then Ops complained that the new files weren't formatted…
I looped back and tried to get the formatting into the automation.  That's where everything fell apart.

*

*Use OpenRowSet and export into an "xls template file" that has an autorun vba code to do the formatting when the file is opened for the first time.  Didn't work.

*Use OpenRowSet and export into an "xlsm template file" that has an autorun vba code to do the formatting when the file is opened for the first time.  Didn't work.

*Use BCP and export into an "xls template file" that has an autorun vba code to do the formatting when the file is opened for the first time.  Didn't work.

*Use BCP and export into an "xlsm template file" that has an autorun vba code to do the formatting when the file is opened for the first time.  Didn't work.

*Use BCP/OpenRowSet and export into xls/xlsx and try to execute a vba code from another workbook…Didn't work.

*Use BCP/OpenRowSet, export into a "dummy" xls/xlsx, use a bat file to recopy the file, resave, etc…Didn't work.

*Use BCP/OpenRowSet, export into a "dummy" txt/csv, use a bat file to convert the file into excel, resave, etc…Didn't work.

*Etc.  Didn't work.
I tried every combination, every export method, every filetype, etc.  Certain methods allowed me to export but no formatting.  Other methods wouldn't even export anything.  No method permitted the export/format, though.
Then I discovered the "REAL" problem ==> When I export using BCP/OpenRowSet and then try to open the file, I always get the "file you are trying to open is in a different format than specified by the file extension" error (FYI Using Excel 2007).  I had sort of ignored this error, but after days of banging my head against the wall I can now see that this error was leading me to the real problem all along.  The export file (regardless of xls/xlsm/xlsx) is not an actual excel file; it's really just a bunch of html tags.  This is why the formatting vba code won't work; it's not an actual excel file!  No matter what I do, it's still not a real excel file.  Formatting will never work because it's simply not a real excel file.
So, I need an automated method to export a table to some sort of excel format (xls/xlsm/xlsx) and then execute a vba code to format (bold, column width, number/date formatting, etc.) the newly-exported file.  This seems like such a routine task…but I see now that routine <> easy.  I've seen references to NPOI and ClosedXML in forums, but I simply can't believe that I need additional 3rd party software to accomplish this task.

A: You could write some VBA code in an Excel Spreadsheet to go get the data from your database and then do the formatting VBA after.  The below code should be a good starting point.
Please note that you will have to add a Reference to Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects Library for this code to function.  Also, you may need to change the Provider in you connection string deepening on you systems configuration.  The below code utilizes the SQL Server Native Client 11.
Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim SQLrs As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim SQLCommand As String

SQLCommand = "SELECT...FROM..."

cn.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLNCLI11;Server=xxxxxxx;DataBase=xxxxxx;Trusted_Connection=yes;"
cn.Open
cn.Execute "SET NOCOUNT ON" ''required for complex T-SQL queries

SQLrs.CursorLocation = adUseClient
Call SQLrs.Open(SQLCommand, cn, adOpenStatic, adLockBatchOptimistic)

ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("sheet1").Range("a1").CopyFromRecordset SQLrs

SQLrs.Close
Set SQLrs = Nothing
cn.Close
Set cn = Nothing

He was elected Minority Caucus Administrator from 1977 to 1978 and again from 1983 to 1984.  He was elected Majority Caucus Administrator from 1979 to 1982.  He was not a candidate for reelection to the House in 1984.

U11 – 3 report in 1 !
After our excellent win against the North, we were next scheduled to take on the Metropolitan Miami Dolphins, how would we fair against the city slickers ?
The weather was a little unkind with heavy overnight rain, maybe the wet surface would help the "dolphins" ?
We played the game at Belhus CC and my thanks to them for putting us up for the day and also to Messrs Benson and Fairweather for their help in getting the ground ready for the start.
As for the game , overall we bowled pretty poorly with most of our bowlers bowling wides and no balls, however good fielding and a couple of excellent catches by Adam Sullivan we restricted the Dolphins to 114 … surely not enough?
Well we started ok, but a mix up and our first run out of the day broke our opening partnership. Strong words by yours truly at a drinks break to our batters to stay calm and not take any unnecessary risks was seemingly adhered to by Adam Sullivan and Kaden Threadgold who were both batting well but were both looking to run each other out! At 95 for 3, we were almost their but then our captain fell for a good thirty something and all panic set loose,104 for 5 and suddenly the fingernails were creeping up to the mouth … what then happened is fortunately history, all out 113 with 13 overs to spare … how did we lose that … after 44 years of playing this game it never ceases to amaze. But it also is still very hard to take.
We moved to Rankins to play West. My thanks to Big Brian Petitt for his help in organising the ground preparations.
Pre match chats by the organisers and West looked a useful outfit and so it was, they batted very well with two or three lads hitting the ball very well and hopefully they will have a Essex trial as we all thought they looked very powerful with good technique and a decent array of shots. In the end we were well beat (by 100 or so runs), however defeat here was in my opinion much easier to take, we bowled and fielded well but were beaten by a better side on the day. This game was easy to get over … last Monday is still a case of shaking our heads … how did we lose?….
So two defeats after our initial win, what can I/we do to turn things around, well….
I was given the wonderful opportunity to chat to Manuele Pellegrini and Jose Mourinho, what better way to pick the brains of two of the worlds top managers and hopefully get some winning tips.
The interview started off quite cordially, they both advocated "rotating the squad", yep I can go with that, Pellegrini emphasised the use of teamwork and 100% commitment, yes absolutely I said. Mourinho liked a pacey attack and I agreed, George and Josh are quite pacey I said, Jose looked a little perplexed. Then things started to go wrong, Pellegrini said the only way to play was with "one up top", clearly something was lost in translation and I ignored the advice. Mourinho then leaned over and said the best advice he could give was to "Not let the opposition have the ball", now here I had to draw the line, I am all for gaining every advantage you can but this is not cricket. "you cannot do that, they will have us much of the ball as we do I replied confidently".
Mourinho looked flushed and rose to his feet "Who is the manager of this team ?" he said, "I am the chosen one" I sheepishly responded……..they stormed off!
Oh well, I cannot stand Chelsea.
Anyway , off to Brentwood to face Central, who had also been beaten by West but by a lot less then we had. Brentwood is a lovely ground but it was disappointing to see that we were put onto a made up pitch, off the square and with VERY short boundaries. We lose the toss and the opposition decide to bat. They start with a left and right hander and once again we do not bowl that well with too many wides and extras. At first drinks they are 46 for 2 (both wickets to Jaime Fairweather) but 21 of those runs are extras. Adam set good field positions and we were fielding well but the change happened when Josh Clarke and Josh Faires came onto bowl. Both lads are decent seam bowlers but if they are honest they had not bowled as well as they can in both the Dolphin and West games but today we saw them at their best. Josh C took 2 for 12 and bowled pacey and straight, Josh Clarke stole the show with 4 for 5 including a hat trick as Central were hustled out for 125 in 25 overs…..a good performance in the end as the outfield was quick and short .
Tea was taken, batting order was handed out…..boys just bat, runs will come.
Our openers were Aravind Ravi and David Jarrett and boy did they bat. David played some lovely drives and leg glances and scored a superb 72* including one six into the trees. Aravind scored 41* with cover and mid wicket drives and both boys ran, called and showed great maturity, skill and determination…….very well played boys.
P.S I have just spoken to Mourinho/Pellegrini and they said if you were not English they would be signing you up !
Onwards to two 20/20 matches next week.
PPS…..I still cannot believe we lost to the Dolphins !
