Make a Difference for Christ in 2017!
Jude 20-22 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost (Spirit), keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference.
As born-again believers, we want our lives to count for Jesus Christ. We want to be a difference-maker. We know that the time is short. Thus we need to yield our lives to Christ today. We know that we should focus on things for eternity, the Word of God, and lives saved for Christ. And we must show compassion on "some." We must focus specifically to help those whom the Lord would have us to assist. The Lord will show us on whom we should focus our ministry. A ministry is not strong simply because it has a lot of people. It is strong when there are strong committed members present – those who make a difference.
First, we must build ourselves on our holy faith. We must study the Bible and apply it to our lives. Jude 3 tells us: Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needed for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints.
Paul urged Timothy to grow in his last epistle: 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth….3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Peter shows us that God has given us what we need to build ourselves up. 2 Peter 1:3-4 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue; whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, and having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Second, we need to pray in the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit). Truly effective praying is in the Spirit. Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered, and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Often we are at a loss to pray as we should, but the Holy Spirit who lives in the believer comes to our rescue, translating our prayers to those conforming them to the will of the Lord. As we remember the "Lord's prayer", we begin by addressing God in heaven, and then asking that His name be hallowed, His kingdom must come, and His will should be done on earth as in heaven. Thus we focus first on God's power and will before we make our requests, and the Holy Spirit will help us bring our requests into line with the will of God.
Third, we need to keep in God's love. When we truly love God, we will want His will in our lives. When we truly love our fellow-man, we will want God's will for his life. We must remember that God is love, and He lives in us. Remember Jesus' reply to a lawyer about the great commandments. Matthew 22:37-39 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. John reminds us: I John 4:18-21 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from hem, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
Fourth, we are looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. Jesus Christ is coming again. Paul was determined to finish strong. Titus 2:11-13 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Paul gives this testimony just prior to his death. 2 Timothy 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not me only, but unto all them that also love his appearing.
As we approach the New Year, let us determine to make a difference in the lives of some. Let us study God's word, pray, love our brethren, and look for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, living each day as if He might suddenly appear.

The Idea And Its Mutant
Not tainted 'opportunism' but conscience subjugated by ideology is what stands between idealism and the Leftist. Choosing empathy over polemic may turn the tide, leading to reconciliation instead of the familiar spiralling of crimes and suffering.
Dilip Simeon	10 August 2017

Dilip Simeon	August 10, 2017 00:00 IST The Idea And Its Mutant
Before discussing the idealism of the Left, it would be a good idea to think about what we mean by these terms. Let us start with the second one—is there any such thing as 'the Left'? If the term refers to a political monolith, clearly the answer is no. The international communist monolith broke up decades ago and today even the fragments are fragmented. The Naxalite movement, which began with an attempt to build a party, had its proponents squabbling bitterly even before the CPI (ML) could be born; and today there are scores of claimants to the ultra-left tradition in India.
Idealism, in its philosophical sense, means either that reality is all in the mind, which constructs the world; or that reality is permeated by structures of thought, and so all truth is an individual perspective. In everyday usage, idealism refers to forming and/or pursuing of ideals; and it can be combined with a sense of impracticality, as in "starry-eyed idealist". There was indeed a time when philosophical idealism was connected to idealism in the popular sense of progressive and optimistic social thought. The problem today is that if idealism implies a commitment to principle, we are obliged to ask—which principle? And if it refers to progressive optimism, again, what is meant by these terms? If it's a question of nobility, how may we judge what is noble? These questions cannot be answered with any certainty, yet they remain a major concern for us.
The Left And Leftism
The term 'Left' originated with the French Revolution. Over the past two centuries, it came to broadly signify the political expression of the 'social question'—the aspirations and demands of the repressed and oppressed sections of society, more specifically the labouring classes. It was coterminous with social democracy (also known as socialism), a movement-cum-argument that democracy needed to be extended from the political to the economic sphere; that daily life needed to be democratised. These terms became unbearably complicated in the 20th century. The concept of the repressed crossed economic definitions and came to incorporate national and social aspirations. Since such aspirations could (and often did) take authoritarian forms as well, political language became burdened with complexity. The most glaring example is that Nazism was an outgrowth of the German Workers' Party, later renamed the National Socialist German Workers' Party. And yet Nazism was the deadly enemy of workers and socialism. Suffice it to say that the twisted history of socialism has caused immense confusion.
What else does the term 'Left' signify? 'The Left' and 'socialism' are not reducible to communist doctrines or the history of Russia, China or Cuba. These terms also refer to movements of the labouring poor and resistance to oppression. Considered this way, there is no sign that popular movements have receded. Other countries aside, in India agitations by industrial workers, students, indebted peasants (nowadays renamed 'farmers'), fisher-folk, tribal people resisting corporate mining enterprises and villagers opposed to nuclear plants have intensified over the past three years. Recently, 134 truckers' unions in Punjab involving 93,000 truckers went on strike. IT professionals in Tamil Nadu have formed a union to resist job losses and improve working conditions. There have been protests by traders against demonetisation and GST, and by conscience-stricken middle-class people against communal violence. The list is long, though much of it is unreported.
Left Vs Free Speech

Social unrest on this scale is the expression of an incipient social democracy. These movements, moreover, undoubtedly involve the passionate energies of humble activists, ordinary persons who are angry enough at injustice and idealistic enough to fight for it. Judging from the numerous RTI activists killed and the scale of ongoing struggles, it seems meaningless to suggest there is a decline of idealism in the left. So what are we talking about?
Idealism And Ideology
The problem arises out of the over-running of idealism by ideology. It is rendered more complex by confusion about the role of popularity in democratic politics; and the question whether populist ideologies are 'left' or 'right'. Then again, ultra-nationalist cadre and members of vigilante groups might be just as inspired by ideals as activists on the Left. How may we understand what is going on?
It is not that idealism has died. It has mutated into ideology, a ghastly caricature of everything attractive about human commitment—friendship, love, loyalty, steadfastness.
We live in an age in which credibility, achieved through the production of doctored images and manufactured consent, matters more than truth or falsehood. Ideology is a mixture of fact and sentiment, operating like a religion in an age when belief has been undermined by science. Ideological convictions undermine intelligible speech—this is the clue to the decline of conversation and its replacement by polemic and slander. In such a situation, all that remains of idealism is the conviction that we are right no matter what is said, that anyone who believes otherwise is an evil person who needs to be crushed. Words like empathy, decency and kindness, that never had a place in ideological doctrines anyway, mean even less in ordinary political debates nowadays. This might seem a sweeping statement, but can we remember the last time any political spokespersons displayed the slightest compassion for the numerous victims of mob violence?
Whatever the authors of grand political projects might think, human beings have always possessed empathy and the capacity for disinterested friendship. These traits are as natural and timeless as erotic attraction and parental love. It is precisely these fundamental aspects of our character that are threatened by the ideological nihilism at work in contemporary society. This nihilism can prompt us to glorify cruelty, prevent us from empathising with people in pain and convert speech into a torrent of abuse.
This habit of thoughtless talk, blind faith and sneering instead of speech has undermined the idealism of democratic activists and eroded their capacity to communicate with those whom they claim to represent. Pragmatism and opportunism are not the greatest dangers today—these tendencies are still predictable in their functions and manifestations. More sinister is the subjugation of conscience by ideology, where even monstrous crimes and terrible suffering prompt us not towards reconciliation, but to an ever-widening polemical spiral. On the one side we have communal vigilantes, trained from an early age to hate certain designated 'enemies'—of the Nation, Ummah etc. Their motivations can only be described as pathological. Their leaders, whether idealist or merely unscrupulous, rely upon their cadre to perform heinous acts in the illusion that they are foot-soldiers in a holy war. On the other side are left-wing cadre, nourished on the dogma that 'the Party is always right'; who insist they possess a cosmically ordained knowledge of the 'laws of History'. The trouble, of course, is that the sheer number of 'scientists of History' devalues their claims to absolute knowledge.
Nation-worship is the atheism of the Right; Party-worship the deism of the Left. In between are millions of people under pressure to ally themselves with one extreme or another, as if even the wish to avoid ideological affiliation were an act of treason. It is not that idealism has died. It has mutated into ideology, a ghastly caricature of everything attractive about human commitment—friendship, love, loyalty and steadfastness.
The Rhetoric Of Justification
I suggest a small thought experiment. Recall the human rights record in regimes where communists had supreme power. Those familiar with the history of the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China might include the persecution and/or deportation of Pasternak and Solzhenitsyn, the show trials, Bukharin's judicial murder, the mass executions and purges of the 1930s (all in the USSR); and the mass deaths during the state-induced famine of 1958-62 and the Great Leap Forward in China. We could also recall the Red Guard hooliganism during the Cultural Revolution (1966-69) and the 1989 massacre at Tainanmen. We could cast a look at the recently achieved judicial murder of Liu Xiaobo, a man who always advocated non-violence and whose 'crime' was to demand that the state fulfil the democratic provisions of the Chinese Constitution. The Party continues to abuse him even in death, and persecute his widow.
Closer home, let us recall the burning alive of 22 EFR jawans in their tents by Maoists and the deaths of 148 passengers of the derailed Jnaneswari Express in 2010; Niyamat Ansari's murder in 2011, and T.P. Chandrasekharan's killing by CPI(M) cadre in 2012. What would be the reaction of comrades of various persuasions? Would they recognise serious problems in the communist attitude to justice and the freedom of thought, or would they produce doctrinal justifications coupled with character assassination of the victims? I believe that at best such questions might elicit embarrassed reactions such as "but look at the tremendous historical progress achieved"; "you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs" etc. This thought experiment is speculative, but it is also based on experience.
Communists have a repertoire of rhetorical justifications for the cruelties they commit and, like any faith-based tradition, they pass on their dogma across generations. This is as true today as it was in the 1930s or the '60s. Leftists—and by that I mean ordinary activists—can maintain their idealism by holding fast to truthful speech, compassion and empathy. Or else they will drown in the sea of polemic that has overtaken the collective mind.

The Virginia Union women, ranked No. 4 in NCAA Division II, bring enough talent to the court to strike fear in any opponent.
The Panthers (28-2) won their second Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association tournament championship in three years with a 73-57 beat down of chippy — chirpy? — Bowie State on Saturday afternoon at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte.
For Panthers coach AnnMarie Gilbert, the talent load starts with lanky 6-foot senior forward Alexis Johnson, who came into the tournament as the recently crowned CIAA Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year.
Johnson, a native of Hamilton, New Jersey, averaged 17 points, 9 rebounds and 3.4 blocks on the season.
For the tournament, Johnson had games of 19 points/nine rebounds and 20 points/11 rebounds before scoring 21 points, pulling down 18 rebounds and blocking 5 shots in Saturday's championship game. Needless to say, Johnson was named tournament Most Valuable Player after the game.
But Johnson didn't even lead her team in scoring Saturday. That distinction went to 6-foot senior forward Pecota, a sharpshooting 3-point specialist who scored 28 points and grabbed 10 rebounds against Bowie. She was 9-of-17 from the field, including 2-of-5 from behind the arc.
Pecota, 27, is a San Francisco native who previously played at Northeastern University and enrolled at Fresno State and San Francisco State but never played there. She moved to Virginia in 2013 but had been out of organized basketball for five years when she was discovered in an off-site shootaround by a VUU assistant.
Previously, Pecota had been rated the 25th-best wing in the nation by ESPN, according to the Richmond Free Press. The only white athlete to ever suit up for the Panthers women, Pecota moved to the East Coast after she lost a friend to gun violence. On the season, Pecota averaged 15 points and eight rebounds.
Johnson, Pecota and teammate Shameka McNeill were named to the All-Tournament team announced after the championship game.
McNeill, 5-foot-5, makes up one half of the freshman twin dynamos, along with her sister Shereka, 5-foot-6, who played the tournament in their hometown of Charlotte, where each was a 1,000-point scorer at Harding University High School.
The Bowie State players refused to assess the Panthers players in the postgame interview immediately after Saturday's game.
But Darrell Mosley, coach of Lincoln (Pennsylvania) University, whose team fell 73-50 to VUU on Friday night, described the Panthers this way: Pecota is a proven 3-point threat, Johnson can score from anywhere, and then "she is blocking shots from all over the court," he said.
"The twins can knock down the 3, and they can penetrate," Mosley added.
Then there is the assist machine, Spivey, a 5-foot-8 junior guard from T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia.
Spivey leads her team with seven assists a game.
"Some of the sets we run, we wouldn't be able to do them without her," Gilbert said.
Spivey also has a sneaky sense of humor.
As she was leaving the interview area on Saturday, carrying a case of CIAA commemorative Coca-Cola soft drinks, Spivey was asked why the Bowie State players had refused to analyze the Panthers players' performances.
"They were talking smack throughout the game," Spivey said.
What looked to be the largest crowd of the week turned out Saturday night for the men's CIAA championship.
That game saw hometown favorite Johnson C. Smith (20-11) take on Virginia Union (18-14), which was trying to pull a Richmond double after the VUU women had won in the afternoon session.
Virginia Union #35 Todd Hughes squeezes his way between Johnson C. Smith player for the basket.
Let's just say the Richmond faithful had more happy faces, as VUU won 82-52 in a game that was no contest from midway through the first half. For VUU, it was the first men's title since the days of Hall of Fame coach Dave Robbins, who won in 2006 and retired in 2008. Robbins also won three national championships for the Panthers.
Virginia Union coach Jay Butler also added a coveted feather in his cap, becoming one of the select few to win CIAA titles as a player and as a coach.
The last time one school swept both CIAA championships was in 2009, when the Johnson C. Smith Golden Bulls pulled it off.

From the author of the "lyrical and compelling" (USA Today) novel A Good American, the powerful story of the unintended consequences that friendship, hope, and obsession impose on two families in crisis. Haverford, Maine, is a town that's easily overlooked. So is Robert Carter, an eighth-grader in 1976 who's a ready target for the class bully. That is, until the first day of school and a new kid appears: Nathan Tilly. Nathan is fearless, impetuous, and obsessed with kites and flying. As Robert and Nathan become friends, they're drawn into each other's families, where they witness unexpected tragedy and learn that all families can harbor secrets. When summer arrives, both boys work at the local amusement park owned by Robert's family, and it's there that Robert and Nathan begin to learn some harsh truths about family, desire and revenge. Honest and heartfelt, with echoes of novels by Wally Lamb and John Irving, Setting Free the Kites is both a poignant coming-of-age story and a moving family drama that explores the terrible costs of misplaced hope.

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX, USA – The Port of Corpus Christi earned "StormReady Community" recognition by the National Weather Service. With this acknowledgment, the Port becomes the first port in Texas and by far the largest in the country to hold this distinction.
StormReady is a nationwide community preparedness program that uses a grassroots approach to help communities develop plans to handle all types of severe weather—from tornadoes to tsunamis. The program encourages communities to take a new, proactive approach to improving local hazardous weather operations by providing emergency managers with clear-cut guidelines on how to improve their hazardous weather operations. Currently there are 194 communities in Texas designated StormReady.
In order to become StormReady, the Port had to establish a 24-hour warning point and Emergency Operations Center, have multiple ways to receive notifications and alert the public of severe weather warnings and forecasts, create a system that monitors weather conditions locally, promote the importance of public readiness through community seminars, and develop a formal hazardous weather plan, which includes training severe weather spotters and holding emergency exercises and pass a site-visit conducted by the National Weather Service & State Emergency Manager.
"Port Corpus Christi employees and partners take weather very seriously. Our region is prone to severe weather throughout the year. Through increased awareness and enhanced decision making support, we are ensuring safe and uninterrupted commerce whenever possible. This recognition clearly shows our commitment to preparedness and the excellent work of our team," said Danielle Hale, Manager of Emergency Management.
The StormReady recognition will be valid for three years. Please visit our national StormReady Website at www.stormready.noaa.gov to see Port of Corpus Christi Authority on our national and state map of recognized communities. The recognition will expire on July 27, 2020.


So here's a thing that can turn your hair gray. Daughters hitting dating age. And here's a thing that can make that gray hair fall out. Daughters hitting dating age in a Navy town. I knew this time was coming. I knew that one day I'd have to worry about the possibility of them falling in love and heading off to Guam or Okinawa or god knows where with some yahoo in a uniform.
The thing is, until this year, some yahoo in a uniform meant just one of the thousands of sailors on base or, what was more frightening, a fly-boy, Maverick wanna-be, getting his start in the "Cradle of Naval Aviation". Some pilot with a need for speed putting my daughter on the back of his motorcycle and heading to the beach for a game of slow motion volleyball before either breaking her heart or capturing it and taking her with him, bouncing around the country and the world, putting me and Julie in a positon where we rarely see her or the grandki… OK. Maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself.
But Pensacola girls flying off with Navy and Marine pilots is the stuff of legend around here. Sometimes it works out beautifully. Sometimes not so much. Just like all relationships. But there are special challenges to being a military spouse. That's not the point here though.
All I keep hearing from my daughters and their friends is how cute these young, athletic guys are. Most of these girls don't know the difference between a sac fly and a horse fly but they clamor to get autographs and photos with the guys and instantly post them to facebook or instagram and get "ooohs" and "ahhhs" and "oh my he's cutes" from their friends. Add this to my Bull Durham visions of life in the minor leagues and well, there goes my hair again.
And there's no Wahoo more sought after than relief pitcher Donnie Joseph. Young, tall, fit, professional athlete with a big glowing smile. There's a sigh in the voice and the eyelids flutter when they say his name.
From what I've gathered, he seems like a good guy. Very good pitcher, very religious, always smiling and spends time after every game signing autographs and taking pictures with his fans, like the one below with my daughter. Dare I say Tebowesque. What's not to like. But again, these are my little girls and my irrational, overblown fears we're talking about. Military spouse is hard. But I think pro athlete spouse would be even harder.
I know I still have a few years before I really need to worry about these things and I know I shouldn't even actually be worried. Julie and I should just do the best we can and stay rational and hope the girls make good decisions. The more I think about it, there are definitely worse choices out there than an athlete or a service member. God I hope they stay away from TV people.

Cheshire's COVID-19 vaccinators receive High Sheriff Award
Staff and volunteers working to vaccinate residents across Cheshire against COVID-19 have received a huge boost for their continued hard work and dedication.
Robert Mee, Her Majesty's the Queen's High Sheriff of Cheshire, praised their hard work and dedication during a visit to Cheshire's vaccination centre at Chester Racecourse.
During his visit, The High Sheriff delivered a thank you speech and presented his award to staff and volunteers to recognise their contribution to communities.
The High Sheriff said: "Over 600 volunteers have been involved at this vaccination centre alone and it is important to recognise this huge achievement. Since the start of the year, their efforts have potentially helped save thousands of lives.
"Time and time again I hear about the warm welcome in the car park and the smiles to put people at ease to guide people through their jabbing journey. All our communities will be forever thankful, and it is my privilege to present a High Sheriff Award to them."
Suzanne Edwards, Director of Operations at Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CWP), greeted The High Sheriff on his arrival at the Racecourse.
She said: "It was a great honour to receive a visit from The High Sheriff of Cheshire and introduce him to the people who are working hard to deliver the largest vaccination programme in our history. People from across the NHS, Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service, St John's Ambulance and a network of local volunteers have all come together to deliver an incredibly successful programme.
"CWP are very proud of the services that have been delivered, in partnership with clinical staff and volunteers. The positive feedback from local people for the running of the vaccination centre has been fantastic. We are delighted to receive this award which has provided an opportunity for us to reflect on what has been achieved during this time and to recognise the efforts of those behind the scenes who have contributed so much."
Dr Anushta Sivananthan, CWP Medical Director, added: "Vaccines are safe and effective and will help us overcome the impact of this pandemic. So far 39.1 million people across the country have been vaccinated including over 1 million people in Cheshire and Merseyside. I would like to encourage everyone to book their COVID-19 vaccination appointment when they become eligible, ensuring you have two, appropriately spaced doses for maximum protection against COVID-19."
People aged 36 and above who have not had their COVID-19 vaccination can book an appointment now via www.nhs.uk/covid-vaccination, where they can choose a time slot and location that suits them.

Bathroom Scout celebrates 10th anniversary
Happy 10th anniversary to Bathroom Scout! We can't believe it's been a decade since our app first launched on Android, and since then it has continued to grow and evolve.
From the very beginning, Bathroom Scout has been dedicated to helping people find clean, accessible restrooms when they're on the go. With over 2,700,000 entries in our toilet database, we've become a go-to resource for people all around the world.
In 2013, we expanded our reach by launching Bathroom Scout for iOS, making it even easier for people to find the nearest bathroom when they're out and about. And in 2015, we started working with B2B customers, allowing other companies to incorporate our bathroom data into their own apps.
We've always been committed to providing a reliable service, and in 2016 we made sure to take extra steps to ensure the uptime of our app. After a data center outage that year, we made sure to implement redundancies across countries and provider borders to prevent any future outages.
Over the years, Bathroom Scout has been constantly improving thanks to both the support of our community and our dedicated team. We're so grateful for everyone who has supported us and helped us become the go-to resource for finding clean, accessible restrooms. Here's to another 10 years of helping people find the nearest bathroom!
What is Mobilino?
We are developing innovative apps for smartphones. We love location based services, Open Street Map, Android, iPhone and much more!

Q: Filter out specific timestamp inside Google Sheets Query How can I filter out the highlighted cell (01/01/1900 09:00:00) inside the query function I am using?
https://ibb.co/1rjQXRT
I tried to do where Col13!= '01/01/1900 09:00:00' (Col13 is 'Date Received') but this filters out everything (instead of filtering out just this cell)

A: If you're filtering by date and time you should preceed it with datetime and format yyyy-Mm-dd hh:mm:ss
where Col13!= datetime '1900-01-01 09:00:00'"

Not the Halo beater it was hyped up to be but good action, good music and a great co-op game make this worth a look.
To clear something up from the beginning - Brute Force is not the strategic tactical squad-based game that Microsoft want to you believe it is - a sort of Halo on speed with more players and better co-op mode. Those looking for a Counter-Strike, one-shot kill styled game will be sorely disappointed. However, what Brute Force does give you though, is a squad based action romp with plenty of killing, plenty of shooting and plenty of action.
As you might have guessed you play one of four characters and using all of these characters at some point in the game will allow you to get through the levels set before you. Each of the characters comes with their own special skill set and each are better suited to certain environments and tasks. Hawk, carries a light rifle, can turn invisible but has the smallest health meter. Flint, is the sniper of the group, again has a small health meter but she excels in one-shot kills from great distances. Tex on the other hand carries the artillery, has the large health power but is slow and awkward. While Brutus is your token alien and has the ability to use his thermal vision and regenerate his heath to get him out of trouble.
Gameplay is similar to Halo and gamers who have mastered the Bungie control mechanics will be right at home here. Like Halo, you can only hold two weapons at any one time and like Halo you can switch these weapons by pressing the Y button.
Rather than do plenty of sneaking and stealth like so many games seem to be heading at the moment (Splinter Cell, Metal Gear Solid et al) Brute Force has fashioned itself around the belief of the gung-ho tactic and the majority of missions involve you charging the enemy and blasting everything in sight. This has been made even easier by the control setup and you can take medikits (if you have any) on the fly as you charge enemy positions.
Being touted as a squad-based game, might suggest to most this is best played with friends and you'd be right. You can of course play on your own or get up to three other friends to join you and the screen is simply spilt accordingly. If your playing on your own the AI is someone lacking and you end up having to do most of the work - good if you are a egomaniac gun-toting action freak - and let's face it, if you are playing alone you're more likely to be one. You can order your computer-animated comrades around by "cover me", "fire at will" and "move forward" commands, but this is as far as it goes.
The visuals are the best we have seen on the X-Box since Halo and the game brings the same style and visual eye-candy to the screen once again. Even with the demanding scenery and action the console coped well with everything on the screen at any one time and only caused some lag when we tested it with four players over a couple of machines.
While this isn't the tactical, strategically empowering game that we were lead to believe it was through the marketing campaign, Brute Force is great fun. The gameplay is gung-ho enough to be enjoyed by most and the eye-candy and sound enough to match most people's expectations and more on the X-Box. It's nice to see a game that is multiplayer, suitable for after the pub with your mates, and doesn't revolve around driving or mini-games with crazy hedgehogs or plumbers.

(CNN) Carson Pickett became the first player with a limb difference to play for the US Women's National Team (USWNT) on Tuesday as she helped her side to a 2-0 victory in a friendly against Colombia.
The 28-year-old, who was born without part of her left arm, has played for the North Carolina Courage in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) since February 2021 when she was traded from Orlando Pride.
Pickett has become an integral part of her club; she was named to the 2021 NWSL First-Team Starting XI and was a finalist for 2021 Defender of the Year. This form was rewarded with a call up to the national squad."Carson did very well in training for us in the last week and with the management of minutes for Emily Fox that we had, we felt like Carson would be a good replacement, and I'm happy that she was able to perform well for 90 minutes," US coach Vlatko Andonovski said, according to ESPN.
The US' defense allowed Colombia just six shots — two of which were on target — and pressured the Cafeteras into an own goal in the 22nd minute. CNN

A goal from Kelley O'Hara in the 77th minute, shortly after play was delayed due to a lightning strike near the venue, sealed the US' victory in its final match before World Cup qualifying begins.
As part of the USWNT, Pickett hopes to use her platform to advocate for limb difference and limb loss awareness.
"While I know that I am confident and comfortable with showing my arm, I know there are so many people in the world who aren't," she wrote on Instagram in April, which is Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month.
"The feeling of being different and the anxiety of not fitting in is something that I have been through. Wearing sweatshirts in the dead heat of summer to hide my arm… I hope to encourage anyone who struggles with their limb difference to not be ashamed of who they are.

Oman: Amnesty seekers must complete procedures and exit before December 31 this year
Exemption not effective beyond set date, violators to bear financial burdens
Published: December 20, 2020 12:36 Raajeshwari Ashok, Correspondent; Ramadan Al Sherbini, Correspondent
Amnesty seekers must complete procedures and exit before December 31 this year. Image Credit: Shutterstock
COVID-19: Can I travel to Oman or Saudi Arabia by road from the UAE?
Muscat: Majority of the applicants departing Oman as per the amnesty scheme of fine exemption on account of residency status or visa renewals, are from the construction sector as per information shared by Oman's Ministry of Labour.
The other two sectors that constitute majority of the applicants opting to leave Oman for good are industrial and automotive sectors.
These three sectors which leaves room for employment due to the exodus are not considered attractive to lure Omani youth because of the low salaries and conditions of employment.
Oman News Agency in its report quoted Salem bin Saeed Al Badi, Director General (DG) of Labour Welfare at the Ministry of Labour, that there has been an unprecedented response to the amnesty scheme by both the employers and non-Omani workforce to leave Oman for good and be exempted from all fines and fees arising from renewal or lack thereof of residents permits.
Seamless exit
The decision to offer amnesty comes per the directive of the Supreme Committee in the wake of the pandemic situation, to allow the citizens of other countries a seamless exit. This measure is expected to provide a balance of stability in the labour market in Oman.
The DG of Labour Welfare at the Ministry of Labour also reiterated that the grace period is temporary and emphasized that those who wish to take advantage of the facilities provided must complete it within the stipulated period of December 31 this year.
The exemption will not be effective beyond the date and violators will have to bear the financial burdens and fines that fall beyond this date as legally decided.


Catholic Monitor: Does Pope Francis have Paranoia or Dementia?
Does Pope Francis have Paranoia or Dementia?
"They tell me you're my enemy."
Muller in the interview said the "magic circle" around Francis does "spying on alleged opponents" and tells the Pope who are his friends or enemies.
It seems that Francis may be overly attached and surrounded by certain persons with unhealthy thought processes and strange conspiracy ideas.
The Vatican Insider usually a solid news source which has access to ranking Vatican insiders close to the Pope on October 19, 2016 wrote a tabloid like paranoid article.
It slandered anyone remotely criticizing the questionable prudential actions and non- infallible teachings of Francis.
The Insider claimed that those who question Francis are in a global conspiracy with Russian strongman Putin against the Pope.
Francis like those who surround him appears to have fallen into paranoid and conspiracy thought processes as shown by his thinking the wishy-washy Muller is his "enemy."
If Francis thinks the indecisive Muller is his "enemy," who recently endorsed Amoris Laetitia and before said the divorce and remarried can't receive Communion unless chaste, then it appears that the Pope may have dementia.
Alzheimer experts say a symptom of dementia can be paranoia.
Wikipedia says paranoia "is a thought process believed to be heavily influenced by anxiety and fear...typically includes...beliefs of conspiracy."
"He's clearly in a bubble" with Cardinals like the German Kasper who wants "God to repeal the Laws of Non-contradiction" and radicals like the Honduran Maraiaga who were leading Francis to "connect...global poverty-with a kind of conspiracy theory about arms sales and war is simply bizarre."
Pray a Our Father now that the Dubia Cardinals issue the correction.
Jorge Bergoglio should not be let off the hook by us attempting to attribute his deliberately destructive behavior to some kind of undiagnosed organic process. He is not mentally unhinged;he is morally predatory. He is not paranoid; he is megalomanaical. Anathema sit!
The Pope and is his clique are clearly just a bunch of idiots, paranoid or not. They should be thrown into the Tiber.

Psychological Thriller Book Review: Find Her by Lisa Gardner
Find Her: The Story
Find Her by Lisa Gardner
Imagine waking up one morning to unusual surroundings; to be stuck in a small space with no light and no idea what has happened to you.
This is the nightmare that Flora Dane finds her in after partying too hard in Florida during Spring Break.
"When you first wake up in a dark wooden box, you'll tell yourself this isn't happening….You're alone in the box. It's frightening. Overwhelming. Awful. Mostly because you don't yet understand how much you have to fear." (pg.1)
Imagine then, finding yourself being held captive but a truly grotesque creature, one that smells disgusting, and turns your stomach. An individual that believes it is his right to keep you for himself, strip you of your identity, torture you until you lose all self respect and then use you as his play thing in which ever manner he sees fit.
This was Flora Dane's life. For four hundred and seventy-two days , this fun-loving, attractive student was forced to do things that would make her own mother ashamed of her if ever she found out – so how is she meant to live with herself now that it is all over, knowing what she knows.
"In the beginning, I cried. Which in time led to a sort of mindless humming, making noise for the sake of making noise, because it's hard to be alone in a dark wooden box…
The pain was the worst. The relentless hard surface denting the soft spot of the back of my skull, straining my lower back, bruising my bony heels…
I cried. I rallied against God. I begged for someone, anyone to save me.
But only in the beginning.
Slowly but surely…I began to think, plot, scheme.
One way or another, I was getting out of this. I'd do whatever it took to survive." (pg 23-24)
After reading this, you have to wander, what did Flora do in order to survive? Or, perhaps another question to ask is, did the real Flora, the easy-going, carefree Flora from before the kidnapping, survive at all?
We all understand that life can be hard, but when you have experienced something as ghastly as this, how does it affect your future?
Do you even, truly have a future?
Returning to normal life, falling back into the same routine as you once had I can only imagine would be impossible. So it is hardly surprising that Flora herself needed a change of lifestyle.
Far away from her mother's farm, where she was once an untroubled child playing with the foxes, Flora has moved to Boston in order to create a new life for herself. Taking self-defense classes, learning how to pick a lock and reading articles on survival skills would lead to many saying that perhaps she hasn't quite got over her captivity; Flora on the other hand sees it in a different light.
She was once a helpless young girl who needed rescuing; now she is the person willing to rescue others.
Flora has become a vigilante of sorts, seeking out lost girls in need of a knight-in-shining-armour.
One girl in particular has become an obsession for her; Stacey Summers went missing several months ago after a night out. CCTV shows her being taken by a large guy but to date no-one has any leads to follow.
Aware that she is putting herself in danger, Flora decides to take matters into her own hands and heads off for a night out at a club, near to where Stacey disappeared in the hope that she alone can find some answers.
However, rather than finding answers all Flora succeeds in doing is creating more questions.
Thanks to a rather over-bearing guy who thought that, because he had brought her a couple of drinks he could then take her home for the evening, she has ended up outside the bar causing a fight between him and the bartender with "the kind of pecs that produced big tips" (pg. 5).
Rather than beginning her very own knight-in-shining-armour however, Devon Goulding turns out to be a person-of-interest. He may have saved her from the idiot who has kept her in pomegranate martinis all evening but it turns out that he is also potentially the large guy from the CCTV footage who forcefully leads her away from the bar, knocking her out before holding her prisoner in a cellar.
What Devon Goulding hasn't yet realised though is that Flora is no easy target. Unlike the other girls that he may have taken, this one is prepared to fight, even if it costs her the life of the one person that could lead her to Stacey Summers.
Dectective D.D. of the BPD's homicide unit, is furious when she discovers what Flora has been up to. Not only has she been putting herself at risk but she has now potentially jeopardized the lives of others. Unable to contain her annoyance she wants to personally charge Flora for interfering with an ongoing police inquiry – there is just one small problem – it would appear that she has disappeared yet again.
Where to this time? Has she herself become the target of a kidnapping ring or has she simply run off to create havoc elsewhere?
Find Her: Our Thoughts
This is a novel of twists and numerous narratives. One moment you will be reading about the present-day investigations of D.D and her team, before flashing-back to a time when Flora was held captive by a man called Jacob Ness. It is a narrative of intricately woven plots that eventually all come together.
As a reader, you are desperate to know what Flora did whilst being held captive by Jacob Ness and some may even begin to question whether Flora has more to do with the disappearance of Stacey then she is prepared to let on.
This is a dark thriller highlighting that bad things can happen to good people on more than one occasion.
With its well thought out plot and gradual development of characters Find Her is a novel that becomes addictive from the very beginning.
Have you read any of Lisa Gardner's novels? Have you read something with a similar story-line that you feel may appeal to others? We would love to hear your suggestions.

Peeved Zardari not to face Singh
In a sudden development, President Asif Ali Zardari has decided not to attend the NAM Summit in Egypt next month, apparently to avoid another meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, whose blunt public comments appear to have annoyed Pakistan.
(Free Press Journal, Mumbai )
Pakistan satisfied with Singh- Zardari meeting in Russia, but the country's establishment has raised the Kashmir issue again. Dr Manmohan Singh, while agreeing to continue dialogue with Pakistan had categorically said that the focus should only be on terrorism

DNA editorial on Political Gentlemanliness
Summary : DNA, Mumbai editorial 'Saying Sorry' has commended both Dr. Manmohan Singh and Mr. L K Advani for showing to the world that they are gentlemen of the old school. This exchange of apologies should serve as a good example for our politicians. Ideological differences need not necessarily lead to personal attacks.
Abridged editorial
Indian politicians do not really say sorry even when they have to. They feel that an apology amounts to loss of face.
Prime minister Manmohan Singh and leader of opposition LK Advani , by saying sorry to each other showed that both are gentlemen of the old school, given to courtesies. It was uncharacteristic of them to have turned pugilistic in the first place.
Each in his own way, Singh and Advani, bring a more suave style to the business of politics. If it is the scholar's gentleness that shines through with Singh, it is the-man-with-more-than-political-interests that define Advani. So their style of doing politics is not exactly that of the so-called hard boiled politician.
In these days of hard media sell, there is a feeling that there has to be something noisy and nasty if it is to become interesting. It is a battle for political TRPs and possibly, Singh and Advani might have been pushed into it much against their own inclination.
Neither Singh nor Advani are part of the TV-shouting brigade though they are no less men of conviction for it. By expressing regret for what they had said to each other, they showed that they indeed belonged to a different world.
This exchange of apologies should serve as a good example to some of the newer recruits to politics that ideological differences do not necessarily have to lead to personal attacks. Hopefully it will also mean a more courteous atmosphere in Parliament where standards of debates and discussions have been plummeting in recent years.

Women's Reservation Bill facing hurdles
Recently, Prime Minster Manmohan Singh was taken aback when journalists accosted him in Parliament for his reaction about JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav's threat to consume poison if the Women's Reservation Bill was passed. Mr. Singh stood quiet for a minute and, recovering his composure, just smiled and walked away without giving an answer. UPA chief Sonia Gandhi had no answer either when she was asked how the bill would be passed except to say that they would try.
The Women's Reservation Bill has been a controversial political issue triggering heated debates in Parliament and outside for the past 13 years. It is a long story since the then Prime Minister Deve Gowda introduced it in 1996 in Parliament. Since then, a solution has eluded it. It was re-introduced in June 1998 and again in November 1999 but nothing happened. In 2004, the UPA made it a part of its common Minimum programme but opposition from SP, RJD and JD(U) stalled it. To save face, the Government just introduced the bill in the Rajya Sabha in 2008 and referred it to a standing committee headed by Nachiappan. In 2009, the Congress party made in election promise. While the supporters of the bill try to sell it as a political stunt to woo women voters, its opponents continue to stall it by describing it as an elitist measure.

Starting this session, nine out of every 10 seats in Maharashtra's junior colleges will be reserved for students of the state board (SSC). That would leave students of CBSE, ICSE and other boards eligible to compete for just 10 per cent of the seats.
The government finalized the decision on Thursday. A government resolution would be issued and the decision would come into effect from the current academic year ( 2009-10), school education minister Radhakrishnan Vikhe Patil told The Indian Express.) ( Mumbai Newsline )

Won't shift new airport site: State
The State government is not keen to shift the site for the new airport near Navi Mumbai.
A day after Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh wrote Chief Minister Ashok Chavan to consider shifting the site of the new airport, as it could cause "irreparable damage" to coastal ecology, state government officials said scouting for an alternative site would not be 'viable at this stage'.
Chavan is expected to reply to Ramesh by Friday, apprising him of approvals taken for the project.
The letter is also expected to point out that the City and Industrial Development Corporation has already acquired 77 per cent of land required for the airport planned across 2,053 hectares.

Q: Can I generate JSON from "Classic" ASP on IIS? I have some logic I want to run on the server-side.  It's implemented in Javascript, and I'd like to use it to generate and emit JSON, to allow a REST-api for a web app I'm producing.
Development is on Windows7 and IIS.  I know IIS still supports ASP, which can be implemented in Javascript.
Is it possible for an ASP classic page to emit JSON?

A: Yes, no problem.  It's possible to use the well-known json2.js from json.org within a Javascript-based "classic ASP" page.
Per ejemplo:
<%@ language="Javascript" %>

<script language="Javascript" runat="server" src='json2.js'></script>
<script language="Javascript" runat="server">

(function() {

    scriptEngineInfo = function () {
        var s = {
            engine : ScriptEngine(),
            version: {
                major: ScriptEngineMajorVersion(),
                minor:ScriptEngineMinorVersion()
            },
            build: ScriptEngineBuildVersion()
        };
        return s;
    }

}());

var x = scriptEngineInfo();
var d = new Date();
x.Timestamp = d.valueOf();

Response.Write (JSON.stringify(x));

</script>

A: This is a basic example of how to create a .json file with classic ASP.
<%
Response.ContentType = "application/json"
Response.Write("{ ""responseCode"": ""success"", ""accountNumber"": ""78527511"", ""ID_Code"": ""654321"", ""version"": ""1""}")
%>

having as a result:
{
  "responseCode": "success",
  "accountNumber": "78527511",
  "ID_Code": "654321",
  "version": "1"
}

A: Here is a great article on it which includes some example code:  http://www.webdevbros.net/2007/04/26/generate-json-from-asp-datatypes/
Its best to put you data in a properly structured array and this code will show you have to take an array and output JSON formatted text.

Why Is Kate Middleton's Official Portrait So Bad?

Even if you're not a royals watcher, you can't avoid the saga of Will and Kate. Kate Middleton—wife of Prince William, current Duchess of Cambridge, possibly future Queen of England, and mother-to-be of future kings and/or queens—recently came face to face with a rite of passage for all royals—the dreaded official portrait. Sadly, the renowned fashion trend setter found herself immersed in an old trend of a different fashion—smiling bravely as the public and critics find fault with your likeness, Paul Emsley's larger-than-life likeness (detail shown above). Emsley's an award-winning artist with obvious skills, but the resulting official portrait's been called everything from "dull" to "rotten." How, when your subject is a young, beautiful, vivacious woman on top of the world, can you make a portrait so bad?
If you scroll all the way down to the bottom of this Daily Mail piece, you'll find a video in which Emsley explains his approach and his intentions for the portrait. Emsley worked from a photograph of the Duchess in employing his highly detailed, photorealistic style. He wished to emphasize what he saw as the strengths of her eyes (whose bright green color he brought out with a dark background) and her hair (which forms a swirling frame around her face). Emsley decided to make the portrait a little more than twice life size to allow viewers to see the textures and details of his work better.
A quick glance at a gallery of Emsley's portrait paintings and drawings testifies to his proven track record of technical excellence, especially in the drawings. Most of the portraits feature the straight on, extreme close-up format of the Middleton portrait. Emsley's portrait of Nelson Mandela really captures Mandela's strength and perseverance in the face of oppression. Emsley's exacting precision reproduces every line etched on Mandela's face—a road map of his imprisonment and eventual triumph. Unfortunately, what makes that approach suitable for Mandela makes it unsuitable for Middleton. As many other critics have noted, Emsley's portrait ages Duchess Kate by 20 years. Even if those little lines and wrinkles exist in real life, the fairy tale young Duchess doesn't deserve for them to be emphasized in such a way. Few people benefit from a direct, full-on vantage point. Middleton's face seems much wider and fuller in the portrait. If Emsley simply turned her face slightly (as he did in this young woman's portrait), the age and weight illusion might have disappeared.
Emsley's portrait is technically beautiful but aesthetically unpleasant because of such miscalculations. Doubling the size of the portrait head approaches a "larger than life" feel, but somehow fails, making Middleton look more like a giant than an icon. If Emsley wanted to go big, he should have gone Chuck Close big or Andy Warhol big. Going half way somehow adds to the "dullness" of the portrait. But, in Emsley's defense, he was fighting a losing battle. Middleton's portrait fails as because of the tensions within English royalty itself between its conservative nature and its desire to be relevant to modern times. Rather than old wine in a new bottle, Middleton's portrait is new wine in a dusty, old bottle. A portrait true to Duchess Kate would embody her modern woman charisma. Alas, Emsley's portrait truly ages Middleton before her time in an attempt to make her part of the grand necropolis that is the anachronism of royalty in the 21st century. Emsley's taking a beating for this painting, but he simply delivered what he was hired to do. If anything good comes of this first official portrait, it will be that later official portraits will better capture both Kate Middleton the physical woman and Kate Middleton the idea of a new direction and relevance for the royals.

We get most of our "hard news" from TV hosts, talking heads, analysts, experts, and spokespeople. But as administrations and policies change, one thing is for certain: the effects will be felt not only by institutions and industries, but by people. Everyday Americans whose work lives, family lives, and quality of life will be affected — for the better or for the worse. The media has a responsibility to cover these "small" stories. They illuminate, deepen, give heart and soul to the "big" stories.
As an aural medium, public radio — and now the exploding podcasting arena — champions people's voices. With regional specificity and personal flair, individual stories and authentic voices have the power to create empathy, connection and understanding. Programs like This American Life, StoryCorps, Radiolab, 2 Dope Queens, and so many others are doing this to great effect.
I predict that in 2017, more news outlets will listen more deeply to the people of this country with genuine curiosity and without preconception. To find common strands and common solutions. To bridge a chasm that is wider than we realized. Authentic voices — not fake news. In 2017, the media will let the people have their say.
