The Holy Family | ONE WORD. ONLY HOPE.
This Feast of the Holy Family brings us many thoughts about Jesus, Mary and Joseph, about our own families and about families throughout the world.
a) Not knowing what lies in the future, Abraham responded and obeyed God's call, and he received his inheritance of the promise (Heb 11:8).
b) Despite his old age and Sarah's sterility, Abraham received the power to generate for he believed that He who promised was trustworthy (Heb 11:11).
c) As a great act of faith Abraham was ready to offer his son Isaac as a burnt offering for he thought that God would fulfill His promise of descendants for him, as God was capable of even raising the dead to life (Heb 11:17-19).
though approved because of their faith, (they) did not receive what had been promised. God had foreseen something better for us, so that without us they should not be made perfect (Heb 11:40).
Only through the birth, suffering, death and resurrection of Christ are all redeemed and all promises fulfilled.
3. Joseph and Mary fulfilled their duties for Jesus in faith. In faith they accepted their responsibilities to be the parents of the Son of God. In faith they fled to Egypt to save Jesus from the wrath of Herod. In faith they looked for the boy Jesus in Jerusalem who they thought was lost. In faith they reared Jesus in the Jewish culture. In faith they had to accept the mission of Jesus, until His death on the cross. And their faith was rewarded.
4. We all live in faith, or rather, should be living in faith. We are born into a world where evil thrives. We live in families battered by worldly influence and disordered desires. Our relationships are influenced by technology that seems to disregard, or all together deny, the existence of God.
– mentally and emotionally disoriented persons due to lack or absence of love and care in their families; and many more. In these and many other situations, we need the help of the Holy family.
This feast of the Holy Family urges us to consecrate our families to Jesus, through Mary and Joseph, to be set apart from the world of sin and from the deception of the devil, to look up to the holy ones in heaven, and to be holy as God is holy. The Holy family always invites us to set aside times for silence in prayer and in adoration of God, to seek opportunities to serve others, to fill our relationships with hope, and to vest ourselves with courage to perform our responsibilities with joy and fear of the Lord. It is with joy that we celebrate the Eucharist and receive Jesus, just as it was with joy that Joseph and Mary had Jesus in their family.

A: To use raw_sockets Python needs to run as root.  If you run the script via sudo (assuming Linux/UNIX), then it should work.  If using windows, run Python as an administrator.
For what it is worth, your code works just fine for me when I ran it as root on a CentOS 6.5 VM.

Just yearning to make another film.
A couple of weeks before my departure to Perth last year, I was visited by a high school friend who's also an aspiring filmmaker. The guy was collaborating with another friend of his to work on something for the Astro Chinese Short Film Competition, so he came over to pitch his ideas to me, and also wondered whether I can help them out as well. Alas, I was going to Perth, so I had no choice but to turn down his kind offer, even though I was very tempted to join them.
After that, I bought myself a handycam, and went off to Perth, where I got to make my own short film 'A Boring Story' for this competition organized by Murdoch University. The rest is... er, history.
Fastforward to last night. I've returned to Malaysia for almost two months.
I was visited by my high school buddy again last night, with his partner, and they showed me the stuff they've made for the Astro competition last year. Like me, they didn't get to win anything, but their short film was pretty solid. Like me, both of these guys also had to act as well. But unlike me, they have dialogue in their films. (lucky me!) And also, unlike me, they got an entire week to work on the film. In the end, I'm envious. Envious because they have the enthusiasm and passion to continue working in such an environment (I'm at Perth, so I have more opportunities... but these two guys are really attempting to rejuvenate our Malaysian film industry!) Whilst these two are plotting and scheming for their next short film (I think they're going to participate in this Akira Kurosawa Tribute Film Fest thingie or something), I'm still feeling quietly frustrated and depressed and exasperated with the lack of progress my (supposed) second short film has.
But anyway, I've spoken to Alanded just now, and we'll see what we can work on. It's doubtful that we can do what we've originally planned to do, but we'll make something from those footages we've shot. After that, the only project Alanded and I will be working on is the novel. Nothing else anymore.
In addition to that, I think I'm also going to make preparations, see what kinda stuff can I make when I return to Perth.

Subject: Can Mobile Really Drive a Facebook Stock Rally?
As the much-ballyhooed Facebook IPO looms closer, there's a mountain being made out of a molehill.
Turns out 27-year-old founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg may have a $2 billion tax bill that, according to a variety of sources, he intends to pay in full.
He seems like a regular guy...or is he?
To say I'm skeptical of his intentions would be an insult to actual skeptics. I think the "Zuck" is a great guy, but a regular guy? No way.
He didn't build from scratch a business that has 845 million customers by being stupid.
Zuckerberg goes to great lengths to project an aw-shucks kind of image. But in reality, this move is about as down-to-earth as Kim Kardashian's wedding. And it's every bit as sophisticated a play as I would have expected out of Larry Ellison or the late Steve Jobs.
Zuckerberg (and presumably his advisors) knows that the stakes couldn't be higher than they are at the moment, which is why he wants to pay this tax bill and reinforce the illusion that Facebook is part of Middle America - instead of being built upon its back.
He knows that successfully doing so will help him monetize your information when Facebook goes public.
I say this because it's important to remember the only reason Facebook is worth anything is because users - people like you - have voluntarily, with no compensation whatsoever, assembled the greatest single collection of marketing data in recorded history. That's right. Your data is going to make him rich.
So where are all the privacy advocates now?
I'd love to see what Facebook's proposed valuation would be if 845 million people suddenly decided they really don't want to share their most intimate moments with friends or decide they don't really want to "like" anything.
And why hasn't the Occupy Wall Street crowd or the Tax the Rich bunch latched onto this?
Because evidently none of them can spell h-y-p-o-c-r-i-s-y. And many are probably too busy using Facebook to "meme" about their activities to pay attention anyway.
There should be a huge amount of backlash, but there isn't. Well, unless you count any number of proposals like the "Zuckerberg Tax" advanced last Tuesday in a New York Times OpEd piece by tax lawyer David Miller.
Miller advocates allowing the government to claw back money from the ultra-wealthy. He believes that individuals earning more than $2.2 million in income or having more than $5.7 million in securities should have their stocks marked to market and taxed even if they haven't sold their investments.


Just imagine that you're delivering outstanding customer satisfaction.
Will you keep all your customers?
You might like to think so but the answer is always no.
They could be sold to a buyer who has another supplier for the thing you do.
For these and other reasons the chances of you keeping all your customers for the long term is nil.
You need to serve your customers well – but you also need to get new ones to (at least) replenish those you lose.
Which brings me to "John".
I'm a client of John. I'm also on his email list. I see from his regular emails that he's prospecting for new clients. As he should.
But John is doing one thing very wrong. His customer service is crap. (I'm not just talking from my own experience.) He uses a squeaky wheel approach to customer service. Ultimately this will cost him. Actually, it's already costing him. I won't refer anybody to him. I won't buy again from him. He won't upsell to me. And I suspect I'm not alone.
So John's already suffering reputational damage and an opportunity cost.
I'm no longer shocked at seeing people like that chasing new customers. But it is a pity. Partly because it's so avoidable.
Takeaway: take good care of your existing customers.
To learn how I can make it easy for you to effectively take care of those customers, book a free 15-minute Discovery Call directly in my calendar. In that free call you'll get a sense of me and of what I do and how I do it. And, on the flipside, I'll get a sense of what you need and whether or not I think we're a good fit.
By the way, here's a link is to a wonderful video – 90 seconds long – of that ghost silver mining town in California that's for sale – just $925,000 for the entire town!

With all that has happened in the ebook world recently, I thought it was time to see what readers think is the single most important obstacle to buying ebooks. I'm sure there are more obstacles than listed in the poll, but I want to focus for now on nonhardware issues.
Although several of the listed items may be an obstacle for you, you can choose only 1 and you can vote only 1 time. The poll will last for 1 week. Thanks for participating.
NOTE: After reading comments here and elsewhere, it is clear that for some ebookers the single most important obstacle to buying ebooks is geographical restrictions, not price, DRM, or any other item. I appreciate that and will address it in a future poll. But for now, I ask that you choose among the listed options and simply note in a comment that your choice would have been geographical restrictions had that been an option. Thank you.
The political partisan divide gets deeper daily. The electorate can't be counted on to vote in accord with their party registration. Politicians are increasingly nervous that if they do not tilt further to the left or right, they will not be electable. Interestingly, in today's partisan politics being a centrist seems to ensure that one will not get elected to political office. Makes me wonder if we voters simply want to elect someone we can complain about.
Make mugwumpery a daily rite!
When the impossible needs doing call a mugwump!
Mugwumps brew their own tea!
Mugwumps don't like tea parties!
I'm more than a partyer, I'm a mugwumpian!
The sound alone makes me want to proclaim: Mugwumpery — today, tomorrow, forever!
Seems to me that we need another political movement in America and I suggest we call it The Mugwump Party of America. So, my fellow, Mugwumpians, shall we gather at Independence Hall on July 4?

5. Lots of opportunities for photos and amazing scenic views.
Your trip begins with pick up from your strip hotel in one of our custom Jeep Wranglers. You will be greeted by a professional guide who will provide check-in paperwork. Your first stop will be the famous Red Rock Canyon sign where you will have an opportunity to take a memorable photo. We will then continue into the Red Rock Canyon National Park where we will start our endeavor into the beautiful Red Rock Scenic Loop where you will see the amazing and majestic Red Rock Canyon. We will work our way through the scenic loop where we will venture off roads onto some exciting trails with spectacular views of the entire area. You will be blown away by the scenery and wildlife as we work our way down the trail. You will have opportunities abound to take breathtaking photos of the Red Rock Canyon. While on the tour you will see some 600 species of plants. Common types in the valley floor include the Joshua tree, Mojave yucca, banana yucca, creosote, and black brush. Higher up the Utah juniper and Sonoran scrub oak (also called scrub live oak) come to dominate. Agave is easy to spot in red rock niches, with its thick low leaves and flowering stem that reaches twice the height of a man.
Wild burros are a familiar sight, as are rabbits and ground squirrels. Desert bighorn sheep are occasionally seen at higher elevations. During rare spring and summer rainstorms, tiny red-spotted toads can be seen emerging from pools of water.
The Conservation Area is protected habitat for the desert tortoise. A habitat at the Visitor Center houses eight females and two males. With any luck we will have an opportunity to see one in the wild.
Ask us about our Mojave and Colorado River ATV Tour, Machine Gun Adventure, and Helicopter Combos!

A B-52 Stratofortress takes off from a forward operating location in Southwest Asia. In the fall of 2007, the Air Force admitted that six nuclear-armed missiles were erroneously flown from Minot AFB, N.D., to Barksdale AFB, La., in August of that year.

During the summer of 2007, a pivotal event occurred that shattered the special trust bestowed by the American people on the Department of Defense, specifically the Air Force in the management of the Nuclear Enterprise.
Six nuclear-armed air-launched cruise missiles were loaded on a B-52 bomber at Minot AFB, N.D., with no security checks and without the knowledge of the ground and aircrew and flown to Barksdale AFB, La. This inexcusable mistake was not discovered for approximately 30 hours until routine post flight checks.
How do things like this happen? It is not easy! The outcome was the result of many events and leadership actions taken over 20 years. Each by itself was not fatal or attributable to any individual.
The sequence of events began with the end of the Cold War in late 1991. During this period, a series of changes in the Air Force resulted in significant organizational, cultural and paradigm shifts.
First, the Air Force aggressively embraced the Total Quality Management movement, which can be a good thing for many organizations but can be toxic to the culture of a military entity that relies on a strict code of discipline and order.
Next, the Air Force eliminated regulations and substituted instructions in their place. The former were directive in nature and the latter were designed to be guides with a great deal of latitude. When dealing with nuclear weapons, there can no room for doubt. Everything must be binary, no exceptions, no gray areas.
Additionally, the Air Force as an institution underwent a major reorganization in which the Strategic Air Command (SAC) was disbanded and the bombers, ICBMs and refueling tankers were dispersed to other commands within the Air Force. This resulted in significant disruption and instability. A new joint command, the U.S. Strategic Command, was stood up to replace SAC.
The tragic attack on our nation on Sept. 11, 2001, also played a significant role in a change in focus relative to nuclear forces. Our response to that attack was to emphasize a "Global War on Terror" at the expense of our focus on nuclear deterrence. National Security Council staffing by credible and senior members was dramatically diminished. Nuclear policy in the office of the Secretary of Defense was relegated to the Assistant Secretary of Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict. The U.S. Strategic Command was also tasked to take on new missions of cyberwarfare, missile defense and combating weapons of mass destruction.
Except for the Navy's submarine launched ballistic missile force, the U.S. military lost the necessary focus of our nuclear mission and failed to take corrective action until the revelation of the unauthorized flight of the nuclear armed cruise missiles in the summer of 2007. The result was a wakeup call that was both dramatic and effective. At least 14 major reviews and studies were conducted which produced literally hundreds of recommendations. The Secretary of the Air Force and the Chief of Staff were unceremoniously fired.
Over the past five years, all relevant government agencies and especially the Air Force have taken many bold steps to correct virtually every issue found to be deficient and establish clear lines of accountability. A new USAF Global Strike Command has been established to ensure that all of the Air Force nuclear forces are organized, trained and equipped to support the commander of U.S. Strategic Command. The White House, the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Staff have taken appropriate steps to regain focus.
It took nearly 20 years for the problems of our Nuclear Enterprise to surface. It is inexcusable that a breakdown in our nuclear security ever occurred. Fortunately, our Nuclear Enterprise is again on solid ground. The challenge now is to make sure it stays that way.

Maximizing Efficiency and Performance: A Comparison of DDR5 and DDR4 Memory
Maximizing Efficiency and Performance: A Comparison of DDR5 and DDR4 Memory - DDR5 (Double Data Rate 5) is the newest generation of memory technology for computer systems. It's the follower to DDR4 and is designed to improve performance and effectiveness for a wide variety of applications.
DDR5 memory runs at greater rates and with greater bandwidth compared to DDR4. The standard clock speed for DDR5 is 4800 MHz, which is 50% much faster compared to the standard clock speed for DDR4 (3200 MHz). Furthermore, DDR5 memory has a greater maximum memory thickness, enabling more memory to be packed right into a smaller sized space.
Among the key features of DDR5 memory is its enhanced power effectiveness. It uses a brand-new power management system that decreases the quantity of power had to run the memory, which can help to prolong the battery life of mobile devices and decrease the power consumption of web servers and various other high-performance systems.
Another considerable feature of DDR5 memory is its Mistake Correcting Code (ECC) support. ECC is a system that spots and corrects mistakes in the data kept in memory, which can help to prevent data corruption and improve the dependability of systems. DDR5 memory supports both single-bit and multi-bit mistake adjustment, production it more dependable compared to DDR4 memory.
DDR5 memory also has a brand-new feature called "Deep Power Down" which allows the memory to enter a low-power specify when not being used, further decreasing power consumption.
The DDR5 memory is expected to be available in the marketplace in the coming year. Many of the prominent manufacturers of memory and computer elements have currently announced plans to launch DDR5 memory and DDR5-compatible devices in the future. This new technology is expected to be commonly adopted by the industry and will become the new standard for high-performance memory.
Along with the improvements in performance and effectiveness, DDR5 memory also has various other benefits over DDR4. Among one of the most considerable is its improved network effectiveness. DDR5 memory uses a brand-new indicating scheme that enables more data to be transmitted over the same variety of cables, which increases the overall effectiveness of the memory system.
Another benefit of DDR5 memory is its improved thermal performance. The new memory uses an innovation called "Thermal Sensing unit" which allows the memory to monitor its own temperature level and change its power consumption to prevent getting too hot. This improves the security and durability of the memory and decreases the risk of system failing.
DDR5 memory also supports a function called "Equipment down Setting" which allows the memory to change its clock speed and voltage in reaction to changes in system load. This helps to optimize the performance of the memory and decreases power consumption.
DDR5 memory also supports a function called "Write CRC" which allows the memory to inspect the integrity of data contacted it and correct any mistakes. This helps to prevent data corruption and improves the dependability of the memory.
Finally, DDR5 memory is also in reverse suitable with DDR4, meaning that systems can proceed to use DDR4 memory while transitioning to DDR5 memory. This enables a smooth shift to the new technology and helps to minimize interruptions to the system.
To conclude, DDR5 memory is the newest generation of memory technology that offers improved performance, effectiveness, and dependability over its precursor, DDR4. With its much faster rates, greater memory thickness, and advanced power management and error-correcting features, DDR5 memory will be the new standard for high-performance systems.
DDR5 and DDR4 are both most current generations of memory technology for computer systems. While both kinds of memory are designed to improve performance and effectiveness, there are some key distinctions in between both.
Among the main distinctions in between DDR5 and DDR4 is their clock speed. DDR5 memory runs at a standard clock speed of 4800 MHz, which is 50% much faster compared to the standard clock speed for DDR4 (3200 MHz). This means that DDR5 memory can process data faster, prominent to improved performance in applications that require a great deal of memory access.
Another distinction in between DDR5 and DDR4 is their maximum memory thickness. DDR5 memory has a greater maximum memory thickness, enabling more memory to be packed right into a smaller sized space. This can be beneficial for systems with limited space, such as laptop computers and mobile devices.
DDR5 memory also has improved power effectiveness compared with DDR4. It uses a brand-new power management system that decreases the quantity of power had to run the memory, which can help to prolong the battery life of mobile devices and decrease the power consumption of web servers and various other high-performance systems.
DDR5 memory also has advanced Mistake Correcting Code (ECC) support compared with DDR4. ECC is a system that spots and corrects mistakes in the data kept in memory, which can help to prevent data corruption and improve the dependability of systems. DDR5 memory supports both single-bit and multi-bit mistake adjustment, production it more dependable compared to DDR4 memory.
In regards to compatibility, DDR5 memory is in reverse suitable with DDR4, meaning that systems can proceed to use DDR4 memory while transitioning to DDR5 memory. This enables a smooth shift to the new technology and helps to minimize interruptions to the system.
Maximizing Efficiency and Performance: A Comparison of DDR5 and DDR4 Memory - In recap, DDR5 memory offers improved performance and effectiveness over DDR4, with much faster clock rates, greater memory thickness, improved power effectiveness, advanced ECC support and in reverse compatibility. While DDR4 is still commonly used and will proceed to be used for some time, DDR5 is expected to become the new standard for high-performance memory in the years to coming.

The acoustic show was much more intimate.

Reddit Complied With 58% Of User Info Requests, 31% Of Takedown Notices In 2014
Anthony Ha @anthonyha / 8 years
Reddit just released its first transparency report, outlining the requests for user information and for content takedown that it received in 2014.
Not surprisingly, the report doesn't go into detail about individual requests, but it does break things down by category. It also notes how many of those requests the news and content-sharing site actually complied with and offers some context around how the company makes those decisions.
On the user information side, Reddit says it received 55 requests in 2014, which covered 78 different user accounts. The requests asked for things like account registration data, log data, and content uploaded by users, and Reddit says it complied with 58 percent of them. In those cases, the company says it notified the affected user "unless provided by a court order or where we decide delayed notice is appropriate based on clear criteria."
Last year, there was a wave of tech company transparency reports following Edward Snowden's revelations about government surveillance, but in this case, Reddit says it has "never received a National Security Letter, an order under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or any other classified request for user information."
As for takedown notices, the company says it received 218, and it complied with 31 percent. Many of the notices that it didn't comply with were for links to content hosted on other sites, or didn't cover copyrighted or trademarked material. As a specific example, Reddit says it didn't remove any content based on "claims of alleged defamation."
You may recall that there was a bit of controversy last year around the company's decision to remove subreddits hosting nudes from hacked celebrity accounts. Similar to its comments in the report, the company justified those takedowns as being valid from a copyright perspective.
Outside of the transparency issues, Reddit had a pretty wild 2014 — it raised $50 million, promised to give some of the equity to users, and lost its CEO.

Q: Transactional saves without calling update method I have a method annotated with @Transactional. I retrieve an object from my Oracle DB, change a field, and then return from the method. I forgot to save the object, but discovered that the database gets updated anyway.
applicationContext
<tx:annotation-driven />
<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager">
    <property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
</bean>

my method
@Transactional
public void myMethod(long id) {
    MyObject myObj = dao.getMstAttributeById(id);
    myObj.setName("new name");
    //dao.update(myObj);
}

my question is why does MyObject get persisted to the database?

A: Because hibernate will automatically detect changes made to persistent entities and update the database accordingly. This behaviour is documented in chapter 11 of the hibernate reference manual. The relevant part reads:

Hibernate defines and supports the following object states:

*

*Transient - an object is transient if it has just been instantiated using the new operator, and it is not associated with a Hibernate Session. It has no persistent representation in the database and no identifier value has been assigned. Transient instances will be destroyed by the garbage collector if the application does not hold a reference anymore. Use the Hibernate Session to make an object persistent (and let Hibernate take care of the SQL statements that need to be executed for this transition).

*Persistent - a persistent instance has a representation in the database and an identifier value. It might just have been saved or loaded, however, it is by definition in the scope of a Session. Hibernate will detect any changes made to an object in persistent state and synchronize the state with the database when the unit of work completes. Developers do not execute manual UPDATE statements, or DELETE statements when an object should be made transient.

*Detached - a detached instance is an object that has been persistent, but its Session has been closed. The reference to the object is still valid, of course, and the detached instance might even be modified in this state. A detached instance can be reattached to a new Session at a later point in time, making it (and all the modifications) persistent again. This feature enables a programming model for long running units of work that require user think-time. We call them application transactions, i.e., a unit of work from the point of view of the user.

A: I used @Transactional(readOnly = true) to resolve it

A: I found preventing automatic updates to the database is a two step process.
Step I: :
getSession().setFlushMode(FlushMode.MANUAL) // [FlushMode.NEVER is depracated in 4.x]

Step II :
getSession().clear(); //This will actually discard all changes

A: For JPA, call entityManager.detach(entity) to avoid auto flush. But you need to be awared that the detached entity will lost ORM magic after, e.g. lazy fetching, cascade update.

A: If you're using a JPA, than the specification says that if your Entity is in managed state (and this is what you do by fetching the data from the DAO within an active transaction), all changed made to it will be reflected in the database during the transaction commit.
So, in other words - it doesn't really matter if you invoke update operation or not because the transaction commit will flush the changes to the database.


One of the responsibilities of the Elementary Library is to assure the quality, quantity and organization of the collection. That includes also the professional responsibility for removing from the collection the materials that are no longer appropriate or supportive of the curriculum.In the same way as materials and the existing collection are systematically evaluated for selection purposes, evaluation and examination must occur before materials are removed from the collection. Weeding is carried out on the basis of professional judgment and careful planning. The procedures for weeding depend on the plan formulated by the information specialist and carried out systematically at the determined time.
Criteria for removing items include physical deterioration, obsolescence and lack of appropriateness for the current needs of the school community. After the materials have been identified for weeding, the removal of the items is a follow up responsibility of the Librarian and Librarian Assistant. We have also contributed reading materials to other smaller schools when needed.
For over seven years, we have brought books INTO the library; we have not taken many books OUT of the library.
Our older books are taking up valuable space that better books could use, creating more space on the shelves, the books we do have are more accessible and inviting.

Structural studies of duck delta 1 and delta 2 crystallin suggest conformational changes occur during catalysis.
Sampaleanu, L.M., Vallee, F., Slingsby, C., Howell, P.L.
Duck delta1 and delta2 crystallin are 94% identical in amino acid sequence, and while delta2 crystallin is the duck orthologue of argininosuccinate lyase (ASL) and catalyzes the reversible breakdown of argininosuccinate to arginine and fumarate, the delta1 isoform is enzymatically inactive. The crystal structures of wild type duck delta1 and delta2 crystallin have been solved at 2.2 and 2.3 A resolution, respectively, and the refinement of the turkey delta1 crystallin has been completed. These structures have been compared with two mutant duck delta2 crystallin structures. Conformational changes were observed in two regions of the N-terminal domain with intraspecies differences between the active and inactive isoforms localized to residues 23-32 and both intra- and interspecies differences localized to the loop of residues 74-89. As the residues implicated in the catalytic mechanism of delta2/ASL are all conserved in delta1, the amino acid substitutions in these two regions are hypothesized to be critical for substrate binding. A sulfate anion was found in the active site of duck delta1 crystallin. This anion, which appears to mimic the fumarate moiety of the argininosuccinate substrate, induces a rigid body movement in domain 3 and a conformational change in the loop of residues 280-290, which together would sequester the substrate from the solvent. The duck delta1 crystallin structure suggests that Ser 281, a residue strictly conserved in all members of the superfamily, could be the catalytic acid in the delta2 crystallin/ASL enzymatic mechanism.

Happy Mother's Day! (By: Michele Babcock-Nice)
Four Generations of my Family (My Son, Me, Grandma Babcia Lottie, Mom Anna), 2006
Happy Mother's Day to all mom's and moms-to-be, today! Motherhood – and parenthood – are such wonderful blessings that are bestowed upon us. We have so many wonderful opportunities as women and mothers to be the role models, protectors, guides, teachers, nurses, counselors, religious, safety officers, and coaches (and so much more) that our children and family members need in our lives. As mothers, we wear so many hats in our lives. Motherhood is definitely a blessing for me, and a vocation in which I always strive my best, as with everything that I do.
Bernice (Briggs) Babcock-Sprague with Grandchildren Michele and Charles Babcock on Charles' Second Birthday, Collins, New York, November 1974
May all women who are mothers remember, cherish, and practice with sensitivity, responsibility, compassion, and seriousness the gift that we have been given. Happy Mother's Day! 🙂

The Nice, Hintermister, and Martin Side of the Family (By: Michele Babcock-Nice)
Michele Babcock-Nice, John Nice, Jr., and Son, Buford, Georgia, 2004
I married John Nice, Jr. in July 2002, and our son was born the following year in 2003. John is a member of the Nice Family of Jacksonville, Florida. John is a high school physics teacher; most of my career experience (15 years, to date) has also been in teaching. John's mother, Carol (Martin) Greene Nice Bennett is from the Martin Family of Florida. Carol's parents were Elizabeth "Bessie" (Robinson) Martin and Elmer Martin of Florida. This article will provide information and photos of some members of those families, as well as the Hintermister's, who were cousins to the Nice's due to Betty Jane (Hintermister) Nice marrying Clarence Carter Nice, Jr.
The Nice's, Jacksonville, Florida, Christmas 2004
This photo is of my family with John's parents, Carol (Martin) Greene Nice Bennett and J. Bob Nice. Carol and Bob have been divorced twice and married three times. Both of them are now married to their third spouse. Carol is currently married to Arnold ("Art") Bennett and Bob is married to Marilyn Nice. Carol has two brothers, Louis and Charles ("Buddy") Martin. They are both married and have families. Carol also has two sisters. Her older sister experienced late stage breast cancer and died before I knew her. I don't know alot about her older sister. Her younger sister is Rachel (Martin) Hunter, who is married to Charles Hunter, and they have two daugthers, Kelli and Brandi. Carol and her family were raised in rural Live Oak, Florida during their childhood.

This is a photo of the Nice Family around 1945, showing John Nice, Jr.'s father as a toddler (the younger boy) with his brother, Clarence Carter Nice, III, and their parents, Betty (Hintermister) Nice and Clarence Carter Nice, Jr. The boys' youngest brother, Jimmy, had not yet been born. Betty attended college from 1931-1935, graduating in May 1935 with a B.S. in Commerce, I believe from the University of Florida. She took many business, math, and economics classes, as well as Spanish and psychology.

The Nice's were well-known in Jacksonville, Florida because Dr. Clarence Carter Nice and his son, Clarence Carter Nice, Jr. were symphony conductors there. Dr. Nice was also known as "Pops." Clarence Carter Nice, Jr. also owned a music store in Jacksonville, which, following his death, has been continued by his sons, Bob and Jimmy (now deceased).

The Nice's were big in the Jacksonville, Florida music scene from about 1930-1980. Clarence Carter Nice, III has been a prominent and successful symphony conductor in California, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather in being successful symphony conductors.
The Nice's and Hintermister's, Circa 1950
This photo shows the Hintermister's (on the left) and the Nice's (on the right) from about 1950 in Florida. The Nice's and Hintermister's are cousins. From left to right in the photo are Sam Hintermister, John Hintermister, Cril Hintermister, Clarence Carter "Carter" Nice, III, Jimmy Nice, and J. Bob Nice. Sadly, Jimmy struggled with and was lost to cancer a number of years ago. All of the others are still living. Sam is married and has adopted children; John is a widower (Candy) and has an adopted son, Josh; and Cril is a bachelor. Carter is married to his second wife, Jennifer, and has one daughter with her, Olivia; they live in California. Carter is divorced from his first wife, and has two children with her, a son and daughter, Christian and Danielle. Jimmy's wife is Penny, and they have a son and daughter, Jamie and Meghan. Jamie is married.* And, I have described about Bob throughout this article.
Divorce in the Nice Family began with Clarence Carter Nice, Jr., when he divorced from Betty. He married his second wife, Jean, and he adopted her children, a son and two daughters. The cycle of divorce was broken with Jimmy Nice, who remained married to his only wife, Penny. The cycle of divorce, however, was continued in both Carter and J. Bob Nice's families when they became divorced. J. Bob Nice is divorced from his second wife, Karen (McLane/McLain) Kirton Nice. Divorce has further continued with John Nice, Jr. due to his divorce from me in 2009. Most adults in the Nice Family, and half of the adults in the Nice's extended family, therefore, have been married and divorced at least once. Three generations of single and/or multiple divorces presently exist in the Nice Family.
John Hintermister
This photo is of John Hintermister, father of Sam, John, and Cril Hintermister. He is a decorated military veteran, and is at rest in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, near Washington, D.C.
Marguerite Hintermister
This image is of Marguerite Hintermister, wife of John Hintermister. I believe these photos of them were taken at or prior to their attending a military ball. I'm not sure of the year in which the photos were taken. Marguerite was the sister of Betty Jane (Hintermister) Nice, who married Clarence Carter Nice, Jr.

As I locate additional relevant photos from the Martin side of the family, I will include them.
*Author's Note: Please note that I have edited this article to reflect some of the information provided by Meghan Nice in her above comment. I did review the article, and believe that no inaccuracies were made. Information that was not known was merely excluded or written in a vague manner. In a prior version of the article, information about Jamie Nice being married was not included because that information was not known. Additionally, the information about John Nice, Jr.'s half brothers is correct because I did not specify which status (either married or separated) was attributed to which man. I simply stated that one was separated and the other was married without naming them. Therefore, I will maintain that information as is since it is correct. For any further detail, please refer to the first comment above in which I have quoted and edited that of Meghan Nice.

My Krakowiak Family Ancestry, Including Drewin, Tomaszewski, Babcock, Spires, O'Malley, and Clark (By: Michele Babcock-Nice)
The Krakowiak Family (Lottie, Peter, Larry, Anna, John, and Maria), Gowanda, New York, 1958
My mother, Anna Maria (Krakowiak) Babcock (born 1944) is from the Krakowiak Family; she was the middle child. Her parents are Wladislawa "Lottie" (Bulera) Krakowiak (November 12, 1914-December 13, 2007) and Janek "John" Krakowiak (October 24, 1907-December 1, 1967). Lottie's and John's other children include Peter Krakowiak, Maria Anna (Krakowiak) Spires Walker, and Larry Krakowiak.
Lottie's parents were Wawryniec and Katarzyna (Mordka) Bulera, and John's parents were Walenty and Jozefa (Stepnion) Krakowiak. Lottie had two sisters, Staca, and Marianna (Krakowiak) Drewin. Staca did not stay in touch with Lottie after her family immigrated to the United States in 1950, so I do not know what became of her. Marianna had three marriages, and had a son with each of her husbands. I only know the last name of her third husband, and not the names of the previous two.
Marianna's sons have several children between them, and they likely have grandchildren and perhaps great grandchildren by now. Marianna and her family lived in Kielce, Poland, and I was able to visit and meet most of them (15 of them) when I studied abroad at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow Poland in 1992. Once Marianna died, no one remained in touch with each other, as only Marianna and Lottie communicated with each other at that time.
John is one of about 10 children from his family. As an adult, he had one glass eye. I don't know what experience or situation caused him to get the glass eye. I do remember my grandmother telling about how John's mother had told him that no one would ever want to marry him because of his glass eye. Once John married Lottie, and the family later moved to Germany, and then on to the United States, there were no further contacts or communications maintained between John or any of his family members.
From what I understand, both Lottie's and John's parents were farmers. When Lottie was a young girl, she herded geese on the farm – that was her job. In bare feet and on frosty mornings, she herded geese. My grandmother had about a third grade education, and was fluent in Polish and German. She took some classes in English upon coming to the United States, though never learned to write more in English than her name. She also did not drive and never had a driver's license. She walked to her places of work (or was driven by others), and she walked to stores and businesses in the Village of Gowanda. She worked at the garden nurseries of Knowles and Fisher, and she also worked additional jobs, such as being a waitress at the local diner in Gowanda (now Olympia).
The Krakowiak Family came to the United States through Ellis Island, and to the Buffalo and Western New York State area, in 1950. Cousins to the Krakowiak's were John and Josephine Tomaszewski of Gowanda, New York. John Tomaszewski secured a guarantee of employment for John Krakowiak at the Moench Tannery in Gowanda. Thus, the Krakowiak Family was guaranteed a sponsorship by the Tomaszewski's, a condition that was required of immigrants for entry into the United States at that time. The Krakowiak Family (all but John) moved to Germany from Poland in about 1948. The reasons for the family's move were to escape the effects of World War II, and to seek a better life in the United States. They did not want to experience another war in Europe.
As a result of their citizenship in Poland, Germany was the best route out of Europe for them. So, Lottie and her young family traveled on foot and by train to Germany where she worked at two or three large corporate farms, particularly in the kitchen. (In her later years, Lottie was able to secure a number of financial security payments from the German government due to proof of her work at the farms.)
For about two years, Lottie worked on the farms until the Polish government allowed John to leave Poland. Lottie and the children were forced to wait those two years because the Polish government had desired John to remain in Poland. It was a tense situation during the wait because the family worried that John might not be allowed to leave Poland. Once he died and reunited with his family, they sailed to the United States from Germany.
Once in Gowanda, the Krakowiak's lived with the Tomaszewski's until John was able to purchase a house. The Krakowiak Family then remained on Union Street in Gowanda, often experiencing flooding in the basements of the two different homes in which they had lived due to rising waters and/or flooding by the Cattaraugus Creek that runs through the center of town.
For about the last one to two years of his life, John developed and suffered from cancer. My family believes that the cancer was caused by John's handling of the many chemicals at the Tannery without any protections. John died from the cancer in 1964 when he was 60 years old. My grandmother, "Babcia," as we called her and is the word for "grandmother" in Polish, was healthy and well, living independently until she was 86 years old, at which time she was placed in the Gowanda Nursing Home. She died as a resident of the Nursing Home when she was 93, about seven years after moving there.
My father, Bruce Babcock, married my mother, Anna (Krakowiak) Babock in 1963. In 1971, I was born, and the following year, my brother was born.
My aunt, Maria (Krakowiak) Spires (and later, Walker) was already married to Eugene Spires (May 7, 1919-November 7, 1993) when I was born. Maria and Gene had two children, Desiree "Desa" (Spires) O'Malley and Phillip Spires. Desiree is married to Joseph O'Malley. They have one son, Joey, and live in Connecticut. I met Joey when he was a baby. Phil married Dawn (Clark) Spires on October 17, 1992. They have one son, Benjamin – named after his great grandfather, Ben Spires. Phil is a Corrections Officer.
After my uncle, Gene, died after struggling with cancer for two years, Maria met Roger Walker. Gene was 25 years older than Maria, and had been previously married. Gene's first wife died from cancer. Maria then married Roger; they live in Florida.
My uncle, Gene, was also a veteran of World War II, having served in the US Army, fighting in France during the war. Gene worked for the State of New York at the Gowanda Psychiatric Center in the maintenance department, and as a painter. Gene and Maria also operated a farm; and Gene owned a gun shop for many years, being a licensed firearms dealer. My aunt also worked for the State of New York at the Gowanda Psychiatric Center, as well as when mental health patients were transitioned to community housing, then still being employed by the State through J.N. Adam Developmental Center. She retired from there after about 27 years of State service.
To my knowledge, Peter Krakowiak never married, nor had any children. Once he graduated from high school, he went into the Navy. Once he completed his service in the Navy, he moved to and lived in Chicago for the remainder of his life. My family has not heard from him in many years; he had kept in touch with my aunt, but she stopped hearing from him many years ago.
Larry also moved to and lived in Chicago for several years, where he was married to and divorced from a woman named, Pam. Sometime following the divorce, he moved back to Gowanda, where he has lived and worked since then. He does not have any children.
Much of the Tomaszewski Family still lives in or near Gowanda, though I am aware of John's and Josephine's oldest son and his family living in Chicago. John and Josephine had three children, including two boys and a girl. When the boys became adults, they married and had children. The daughter, Gloria, is single and does not have any children. The eldest son of John and Josephine is an airline pilot, likely long retired by now. He may have also served in the Vietnam War, as I recall. The Tomaszewski's, therefore, are cousins, far-removed, from me; they would be considered my third cousins.
Other family related to the Krakowiak side of my family include the Covelli's from Buffalo, New York, and the Turdly's from Brooklyn, New York City.
John and Lottie Krakowiak, and John and Josephine Tomaszewski, are bured in Holy Cross Cemetery of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Gowanda, New York. Eugene Spires is also buried in Holy Cross Cemetery in Gowanda.
To follow is a collage of photos that I have of the Krakowiak's, Drewin's, Babcock's, Spires', O'Malley's. and Clark's.
Author's Note: Information and images identifying my brother have been removed from this post as of April 27, 2016 as a courtesy per his request.

I am considering changing my goals for this blog. Writing daily has been a useful exercise for me, but perhaps it would be better writing daily and posting weekly. Now would probably be a good time to change my format especially since no one, not even my mother reads this blog yet. I am not changing up anything yet, just considering the best path forward. So either my daily experiences of learning about matrix math, practicing Spanish with Duolingo, and working out doing the 5x5 plan are not giving me enough material, or I need to find more interesting activities for my daily life.
Thought of the day: If Obama doesn't want to see Trump have a chance in this election, he should endorse him. Cold hard political Ju-Jitsu.
Million dollar idea of the day: Turn the abandoned mall down the street from my house into a zombie apocalypse paintball arena. People would travel from all over the country to reenact their favorite zombie killing movie scene. It would be like Disney World for millennials.
Reality is not what it used to be, so lets explore.

Madley had conducted the annual televised auction of cricketers playing in the Indian Premier League for the past 11 years and was nicknamed 'The Hammerman' in India.
Edmeades said: "I am delighted to have been asked to do this and I am looking forward to a couple of days in Jaipur this month."
The next auction will be held as a one-day affair, as opposed to the usual two days, in Jaipur, India on December 18.
News of Madley's departure was met with disappointment by fans on social media.

Rugby in Japan is growing in popularity every year. The sport has been played here for over 150 years, with the first recorded game taking place in Yokohama in 1866.
The national team is currently in or around the Top 10 in the world, and the country was gripped by Rugby fever during the 2015 World Cup when the Brave Blossoms put on a heroic display as they beat South Africa 34-32 in an epic game which many have called the biggest upset in Rugby Union History.
Things are also beginning to take off at club level. Rugby is the fifth most popular team sport in Japan. There are currently over 125,000 registered rugby players in Japan and over 3,000 clubs. At the end of January 2017, the Suntory Sungoliaths beat Panasonic Wild Knights 15-10 in the final of the 54th All-Japan championship, completing a league and cup double in front of a packed house at the the Prince Chichibu Memorial Rugby Ground in central Tokyo.
In 2016 the Sunwolves, Japan's team in SANZAAR's Super Rugby competition, made their debut. Mac, Founder and Lead Guide of Maction Planet, is an avid supporter and fan club member! Regardless of the result, games have a fun family-friendly atmosphere and the range of merchandising in quite unbelievable!
If you are a Rugby Fan, catching a match while you are here will bring a different perspective on how the game is run around the world, and give a taste of the evolution of the sport ahead of Rugby World Cup 2019! Join us for a game as part of your bespoke, fully customised time with us in the World's Greatest Metropolis.

1. Rules. The interstate commission shall promulgate rules in order to effectively and efficiently achieve the purposes of the compact, including transitional rules governing administration of the compact during the period in which it is being considered and enacted by the state.
Rulemaking must occur pursuant to the criteria set forth in this section and rules promulgated pursuant to this section. The rulemaking must substantially conform to the principles of the federal Administrative Procedure Act, 5 United States Code, Section 551 et seq. and the federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 United States Code App. 2 Section 1 et seq., as may be amended, referred to in this subchapter as the "APA."
All rules and amendments are binding on the date specified in each rule or amendment.
2. Rule void. If a majority of the legislatures of the compacting states rejects a rule, by enactment of a statute or resolution in the same manner used to adopt the compact, then the rule has no further effect in any compacting state.
4. Rule review. Not later than 60 days after a rule is promulgated, an interested person may file a petition in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia or in the federal district court where the interstate commission's principal office is located for judicial review of the rule.
