The happy days of the holidays are now over and that daunting reminder of all the deliciousness you ate during those precious moments are really starting to manifest into something like a holiday hangover. As the fatigue sets in, your body looks forward to finding some relief from the late night celebrations, carb overload and heavy sugar abuse. And if you're one of those many individuals who enjoyed a good party in your mouth, chances are you're in need of a little kick start back to health as you return to everyday life. These tips can help you boost your metabolism while increasing energy.
Drink water, and lots of it!: The body is made up of close to 75% water. It is necessary for the body to flush toxins, carry nutrients and oxygen to our cells, and regulate the body in general. Water provides our bodies with the cellular energy needed for our busy lives. Also, in 2003, a study done on water induced thermogenesis found that drinking 500 ml (or approx. 17 ounces) of water increased metabolic rate by 30%.
Eat: This obviously starts with good food first. Eating more vegetables and fruit while minimizing processed foods is a quick way to stimulate your metabolism. With the right nutrients the body is able to safely detox, improve the digestive system and even stimulate weight loss by maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. Good fats like coconut oil and fish oil may help improve cellular energy, which can also increase your metabolism.
Sleep: Our hard working vessels require adequate sleep for optimum health. This is when the body is repairing itself by flushing toxins and replenishing the body for the next days challenges. It is recommended to get more than 6 hours of sleep each night to ensure good energy throughout the day. It is also known that sleep deprivation can wreck havoc on your metabolism by decreasing leptin (the hormone that signals satiety) and increasing ghrelin (which signals hunger).
Move as much and as often as possible: To get away from the sedentary lifestyle that can hinder our health, find reasons to move during the day. Dr. Joan Vernikos, former director of NASA's Life Sciences Division, found in her studies that "the act of standing up is more effective than walking for counteracting the ill effects of sitting. The key is frequent intermittent interactions with gravity. Standing up 35 times at once will provide only a small percent of the benefit of standing up once every 20 minutes." This can certainly help to increase energy and support a fast metabolism.

Check out the video of Daniel Cicala's talk, the fourth in the Applied Category Theory Seminar here at U. C. Riverside. It was nicely edited by Paola Fernandez and uploaded by Joe Moeller.
Abstract. A social contagion may manifest as a cultural trend, a spreading opinion or idea or belief. In this talk, we explore a simple model of social contagion on a random network. We also look at the effect that network connectivity, edge distribution, and heterogeneity has on the diffusion of a contagion.
The talk slides are here.
• Mason A. Porter and James P. Gleeson, Dynamical systems on networks: a tutorial.
• Duncan J. Watts, A simple model of global cascades on random networks.

I also got a notification for a post about Jonathan Lorand's talk, but that post isn't here now.
It's here – I decided to go back in time and post it in January.
Well, that explains why it looked familiar!
So this stuff is important on so many levels.
That's fascinating, Peter. Do you remember the name of this speaker, by chance?
Here's the blurb for the web lecture that got my attention.
The growth of neuroscience and technology (i.e. – neuroS/T) has prompted growing interest in, development of, and concerns about the use of such techniques and tools in warfare, intelligence and national security (WINS) contexts. Many neuroS/T developments are poised for current or near-future translation to investigational to operational levels, thereby moving from "the research bench to the battlefield".
Such neuroS/T includes various drugs, and neurotechnologies for training and performance optimization of intelligence and combat personnel; and using types of transcranial electrical signal detection in brain-computer interfaces to control aircraft or vessel systems or unmanned vehicles. As well, WINS initiatives also entail the development and engagement of agents (e.g.- drugs, microbes, toxins) and devices as weapons ("neuroweapons") to affect and modify opponents' thoughts, feelings, senses, actions, health, or in some cases, to incur lethal consequences. As the recent events involving novochuk, VX, sarin, and the possible use of a neuroweapon to affect US Embassy personnel illustrate, these developments pose real and present threat.
In this lecture, neuroscientist and neuroethicist Dr. James Giordano of Georgetown University Medical Center, provides description and realistic appraisal of the capabilities and limits of neuroS/T in WINS, methods and scenarios for their use, and technical and ethical issues and steps of their oversight, guidance and governance.
It was in this lecture that he referred to the networking issue. No slides unfortunately and I was the only non-US person online!
Thanks! This is a great example to consider. I haven't even thought of the health care space as somewhere this would be relevant.

I saw your face on a website in 1998.
You were just a little squirt but from those pixs I felt that you were to be ours.
I printed those pictures and made refrigerator magnets out of them.
It was a long drive to Wilcox, Az but we drove our on Christmas day & spent the night at a hotel.
In the morning we finally met you, your parents & most of your littermates.
We immortalized the day with photos & videotape.
You were a little thing, 12" tall and 19lbs.
On the drive back you used a st bernard beanie baby as a pillow as you slept in my lap.
You were an adorable floppy earred Harlequin puppy with an outgoing personality.
I had hopes for you... to enter the show world.
As a young pup you turned many heads at a puppy match.
So many people asked who were out of and by and where we got you.
At 6 months your were diagnosed with hip dysplasia so neutering came soon after.
I admit I was saddened but it wasn't your fault I loved you.
we noticed you had some vision problems.
We had that checked out and confirmed so we had an idea how you did see the world.
But neither your hips nor your eyes hindered your ever energetic, friendly, bouncy & happy spirit.
about the things you did, about the smiles & laughter your brought forth..
You were the clown.. you loved dressing up and being silly.
washing faces, barking back at me, bouncing, running & playing with plush.
You loved swimming in the pool at Lynn's and splashing me with your cannonball.
And I'll never forget your experience trying your paw at herding sheep.
you were always happy, always ready for your next adventure whatever it might be.
as you won Top Dog (among other awards) at our local Humane Society event.
Yesterday I saw the flickering of your bright light.
You bounced back when dad came home but I knew it was time.
I couldn't bear to see the light go from your eyes because your body was failing you.
I didn't want to see you leave before your body did.
I wanted you to have some dignity before there wouldn't be a choice left.
you walked around.. your back paws scrapping here and there across the pavement..
sniffing the grass, the bushes... plucking leaves off a small tree with your teeth.
You saw the ducks and went a few feet after them.. your tail still having wags.
We got you an ice cream which you gobbled in almost one bite.
You were so bony, so thin you could see ever single back vertebrae..
and your body was to the point it just kept losing weight no matter how much you ate.
It hurt to look at what you were going through... but I loved you.
as I gave your leg to our vet and he slipped a needle within.
You took a long deep breath and almost sighed with relief as you were released from your form.
and as I felt you slipping away I cried even harder.
My babyface was gone ..
We were blessed to share over 6yrs with you.
and dad & I will never forget nor ever stop loving you.

In a world that is increasingly digital we come across a great deal of information within a short span of time. It is important to question the validity of the information we come across so that we are not fed false Information that we then interpret as fact. In recent years this issue has become more prominent as we have seen within the recent election and in subsequent events such as the parkland shooting where false information had been disseminated into the public eye. The spreading of such information has a harmful effect on our society, given that such misinformation has also shaped public opinion at times. This is where the value of skepticism is vital, that if you are able to distinguish "fake news" from valid and factual news, then you will be able to stop the cycle of misinformation quite early. Which is why the primary focus is how to critically analyze the validity of any given article.
A thing to take into account when reading any article is that the source, or the publisher of the article may present some form of bias. In this case it is important to do research on the author or publisher of the article, as to see if there is a bias present, and whether the author or publisher has a reputation for spreading false information. Should the author have no background information when looking them up, the source should be reviewed with a great deal of skepticism. As there is a chance that the information presented is not valid.
Though this seems incredibly obvious, it is important to note that you should read beyond the headlines. Often the headline of an article is meant to exaggerate the contents of the article itself. Although the title may say one thing, the actual content could be saying something entirely different. An example of this could be an article written about murder. The title read somewhat along the lines of "Man murders his wife in cold blood". From the title alone you can imagine that a simple conclusion would be that the man did in fact kill his wife, though the actual content of the article says that he was accused of the murder but was found not guilty in a court of law, it was rather a family friend who was convicted of the murder. It is incredibly important to note the sheer absurdity in this all, a form of slander was put against this man. He was innocent by law but was portrayed guilty by a writer who decided that the article would sound better with a title like this. In order to determine the validity of any article, it is important that we do not promote a culture of headline only news, but rather seek depth and information in its content.
It seems like a fairly obvious form of misinformation, a common misrepresentation of information is in statistics. Often to boost the validity of a claim or to support an argument writers frequently use statistics to back their claims. And this is where the act of misinformation becomes much more complicated, given that a writer may have credibility, a proper title, and an articulately written article but the statistics that they provide would be false. A reason why this is often done is to back a claim with a greater quantity of evidence. The way to properly counter such false statements is to simply look up the subject that the statistics are being presented for. An example of this would be if you told by an article that there is a correlation between violent movies and violent behavior within adolescence. You can look up effects of violent movies, causes of violent behavior, or in this case a scientific source would be preferable so that you can see if there is some psychological tie between the two. In looking at these other articles to fact check the statistic present it is important to check the credibility of the sources you are fact checking with as well.
What is the purpose of the article written? Some websites present joke news, this is news that is not meant to be real, it is so absurd that it could not possibly be true. A wonderful example of this type of news site is The Onion which has a history of posting articles that are completely false. Though this does not mean that they are hoping to deceive their readers. The Onion is meant to be a satire news site, an example of this is their recent article which discusses a doctor asking a mother if she would like to keep the exoskeleton of her newborn baby. This is clearly a joke, though there are articles on the internet which present themselves as jokes but are interpreted as true.
Finally, another great way to check an articles validity is to check its date. This is for a multitude of reasons but the primary is to make sure that the information is up to date or if it's an event, whether or not it was recent. This is especially important in reading articles where data of facts are being presented especially in a constantly changing field such as science or research where an article from 2013 may lack the new information or the detail and understanding an article from 2017-2018 may have.
In keeping these tips in mind, you can ensure that you are well informed and that the information you are being presented with is in fact valid. The value of skepticism in being presented with information is vital, as there will always be some fault with a source. In making sure that you do not take information at face value, you can work towards stopping this cycle of misinformation where falsehoods spread like wildfire.

How Covid-19 is shifting retail supply chains dynamics
The Covid-19 pandemic looks set to transform many retailers' supply chains, with firms set to on-shore more than £4 billion of products in the UK over coming year, as the pandemic sees them adapt their procurement strategies. Across the continent, around seven-in-ten of Europe's largest retailers have similarly conducted a review of their supply chains because of the coronavirus, with many relocating production to domestic economies.
The on-going pandemic has created new pressures on retailers, exposing weaknesses in global supply chains and leading many to rethink strategies for the future to remain resilient. One recent study suggested global markets could forfeit as much as $5 trillion in economic losses, if they do not adapt their supply chains in the wake of the Covid-19 virus – illustrating just what may be on the line for retailers who do not take the threat seriously.
In response to these pressures, a new report by global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) – in partnership with Retail Economics – has found that 70% of Europe's largest 30 retailers have conducted a review of their supply chains because of Covid-19. While across all companies this sinks a little to 56% of firms who have either done it or will do it in the next 12 months, a further 69% said they were also near-shoring – bringing products closer to home, if not returning their production to domestic markets.
Focusing on Britain in this respect, the study estimates that UK retailers are already on-shoring produce, and by the end of 2021, more than £4.2 billion of products will have been brought back. This would represent a significant boost to UK manufacturing in the face of future disruptions, being equivalent to the country's entire current clothing manufacturing output.
According to A&M, however, not all firms are finding it easy to make such a shift. A multitude of barriers are currently making it difficult for retailers – many of whom were already financially weakened before the pandemic – in particular costs. A majority of 86% said higher costs were stopping them shifting their supply chains to domestic economies – and in many cases such firms had shifted production abroad to make use of lower-cost, deregulated labour markets.
At the same time, ack of specialisation, choice of suppliers and concerns about capacity were also likely to dampen the pace at which retailers on-shored supply chains. A&M stated that the commercial viability of sourcing strategies would ultimately drive decision making amongst firms on a case-by-case basis. For example, onshoring a significant proportion of the production of electrical products to the UK would be impractical due to restrictions of scale and cost implications – as labour constitutes a significant proportion of production costs and with higher wages in Europe.
Motivations for moving production closer to home are not only related to the pandemic, however. As many firms weigh up their organisational sustainability, on-shore supply chains can also have a significant impact on carbon emission targets. As many consumers also become conscious of the emissions they are sponsoring with their custom, this could well impact on the profitability of a number of retailers.
According to the researchers, 32% of customers in the UK would be prepared to pay more for locally sourced products, while a further 35% said they would use local sourcing as a differentiator between retailers of the same price range. While 33% said local sourcing was not a factor for them at all, the many flagging retailers of the UK would have difficult relying on the spending of just one-third of the country's consumers.
Commenting on the findings, Tim Waters, European Supply Chain Practice Lead at A&M, said, "Despite significant distress and disruption, Covid-19 has also acted as a catalyst for change for retail businesses, with evolving consumer behaviour, ESG commitments and technological potential leading new strategic thinking… Our research highlights that on-shoring operations is already underway for many retailers. Not only will this help to create more ethical supply chains, it will help to manage future risk."

Germany bans Hezbollah activities on its soil
In December 2019, German lawmakers approved a non-binding initiative calling on the government to ban the political Islamic Resistance group, Hezbollah, in Germany which forms part of the Lebanese government.
RNA – In December 2019, German lawmakers approved a non-binding initiative calling on the government to ban the political Islamic Resistance group, Hezbollah, in Germany which forms part of the Lebanese government.
Germany has banned all Hezbollah activities on its soil, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry said on Twitter, adding that security forces are currently conducting raids against suspected members of the Lebanese movement in several German states.
"Interior Minister Horst Seehofer has banned the Shia organisation Hezbollah in Germany," the spokesman said in a Thursday tweet.
Germany had previously distinguished between the movement's political arm and its military units.
The move was praised by Jewish groups as a "much-anticipated and significant" decision.
"This is a welcome, much-anticipated, and significant German decision. We now hope other European nations will take a close look at Germany's decision and reach the same conclusion about the true nature of Hezbollah," said American Jewish Committee head David Harris.
In December 2019, German lawmakers approved a non-binding initiative calling on the government to ban Hezbollah. The move, thought to be aimed at combating anti-Semitism, has been rejected multiple times by the parliament.
The resolution was greenlighted by the Free Democrats as well as the Social Democratic Party, which is allied to Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU). The decision sought to ban the political arm of Hezbollah from Germany and to add the movement to the European Union's terrorist list.
Hezbollah is a Lebanese political party and Islamic Resistance group whose primary basis of support is the country's Shi'ah Muslim community.
The group was formed as a self-defence force in the early 1980s during the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon. The last major escalation between Israel and Lebanon took place in 2006, when the two countries fought a 34-day war sparked by a Hezbollah cross-border raid and the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers.
The confrontation claimed the lives of over 1,300 people, including hundreds of Lebanese civilians, and ended in a UN-brokered ceasefire. Israel and Lebanon have fought a total of four wars since Israel's establishment in 1948, and have repeatedly threatened one another with violence in recent years.

Corvette fans can thank designer Ryan Vaughan for helping to fix what has been one of their biggest gripes about the sports car: a lackluster interior.
In 2009, Vaughan's theme for the cockpit of the seventh-generation Corvette was picked from hundreds of entries by GM designers from Detroit to Brazil to Korea as part of an unprecedented global design competition.
The cabin of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, launched last fall, has won widespread critical praise for refined touches such as carbon fiber and aluminum trim and a driver-friendly layout that includes a sweeping shape from the center console through the driver's door.
For Vaughan, a Maryland native hired by GM straight out of the Pratt Institute design school in Brooklyn, penning the top design might have been the easy part. Early on, engineers thought the innovative dash-into-door setup would be too difficult to assemble in the factory.
Vaughan was among a group of designers and engineers that huddled at the Corvette plant in Bowling Green, Ky., to figure out an innovative work-around that allows a line worker to manually align the instrument panel and door. It saved Vaughan's design.
"Being able to keep that element was the key in allowing us to achieve a design that is really expressive and has a lot of drama, but at the same time it doesn't get in the way," Vaughan says. "It's a functional, ergonomic environment for the driver."
During a 12-year GM career, Vaughan has led interior designs for the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu and 2010 Buick LaCrosse, among others. He also has worked in China and Brazil.
Vaughan's interest in cars came from his father, who kept a 1966 Corvette in the family garage.


For the volunteers at the Christian Outreach Centre, they're used to being the ones providing food to the community, but the tables have turned.
For this year's National Volunteer Week the Centre hosted a morning tea to give back and give thanks to the volunteers and Work for the Dole participants who give so much.
"The activity is a beautiful example of participants working together with volunteers and their community." Said Ilonka Patkos, WfD Broker.
The activity commenced in early January 2017 and has since distributed over 1000 meals to the homeless, through the Community Carevan.
Deputy Prime Minister, the hon. Barnaby Joyce, joined in with the celebrations.
"What is particularly great about this volunteer service is that it is helped by 15 local participants of the Work for the Dole programme, who together with other volunteers, prepare about 80 meals a day." Mr Barnaby Joyce said.
A huge congratulations to all employment providers, for collaborating together and assisting to get this wonderful project off the ground and thriving.
We cannot wait to see what is to come in the future.

Working with Sam and Fred was a great experience. We had purchased an older 2000 year model Lexus with a good engine, but the paint on half the car was hideous because it was peeling and faded. After speaking with Sam and Fred, who gave us several options. We decided to paint the entire car, fix the dents and buffed the headlights for a very descent and great price. When we picked up the car we were very surprised and extremely pleased with the outcome. I wish I had a before and after picture. The car looks like a different car (in good way) and added value to it. They did very good quality work and guaranteed the work. They also did what was promised. I would definitely recommend them!
I brought my car into get a make over and just have to say how happy I am with the results. From the moment I walked in the door Fred and Elsa were there to help. Fred walked around my car with me and although I was just looking for "a paint job" he made suggestions such as little repairs to make my car look better and he was right. The price was great, the service was great. The day after I left my car I realized I left my husband's tablet in the car and Elsa was happy to assist and make sure I got it back safe and sound. I love my "new" car, it looks great and I would recommend Prestige to anyone! Thanks guys and gals for doing what you said you would do! I would add photos but don't know how to do that on Yelp.
I was very IMPRESSED!!! I took my 2000 GMC Safari van to Prestige Collision for a paint job and was greeted with a very professional and friendly staff who assisted me with all my needs. They finished my van in the time frame that was given, and the paint job was beautiful. I will recomend Prestige to all my friends and associates. THANK YOU SAM AND FRED!!!!

I was referred here for body work after my neighbor hit my car....I decided to get the whole car painted along with the body work.....and let me tell you, I couldn't be happier with the work put into my car! From the moment I walked in both Elsa and Fred were helpful, knowledgable, friendly, and more than FAIR! My 2005 car looks BRAND NEW! I will recommend this place over and over again, and if I ever need any work done, THIS is the place I will be going. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for auto body work or just getting a car painted! Not only is the pricing on point, the work outshines it 10x....Thank you Prestige Auto Body for giving life again to an old car! Hands down, I couldn't be happier.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union wants Britain to stick to the bloc's rules on state aid, environment and workers' rights after Brexit to prevent it from gaining unfair access to the Europeans' single market, diplomatic sources and officials told Reuters.
While it is still possible later in November, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar warned on Wednesday that chances for a deal this month were fading.
For Britain, it is important to lock a deal before the turn of the year to give businesses the clarity they need to plan for the first quarter of 2019 when Britain is due to become the first country ever to leave the EU.

Q: substitution within a text file, using Applescript and sed The question is a sequel to plain text URL to HTML code (Automator/AppleScript).
Suppose I have a plain txt file /Users/myname/Desktop/URLlist.txt:
title 1
http://a.b/c

title 2
http://d.e/f

...

I'd like to (1) convert all the URL (http://...) to HTML code, and (2) add

to each empty line, so that the aforementioned content will become:
title 1
http://a.b/c

title 2
http://d.e/f

...

I come to the following Applescript:
set inFile to "/Users/myname/Desktop/URLlist.txt"
set middleFile to "/Users/myname/Desktop/URLlist2.txt"
set outFile to "/Users/myname/Desktop/URLlist3.txt"

do shell script "sed 's/\\(http[^ ]*\\)/\\1<\\/a>/g' " & quoted form of inFile & " >" & quoted form of middleFile
do shell script "sed 's/^$/\\
/g' " & quoted form of middleFile & " >" & quoted form of outFile

It works, but it is redundant (and silly?). Could anyone make it more succinct? Can it be done involving only one text file instead of three (i.e. the original content in /Users/myname/Desktop/URLlist.txt is overwritten with the end result)?
Thank you very much in advance.

A: Try:
set inFile to "/Users/myname/Desktop/URLlist.txt"

set myData to (do shell script "sed '
/\\(http[^ ]*\\)/ a\\

' " & quoted form of inFile & " | sed 's/\\(http[^ ]*\\)/\\1<\\/a>/g' ")

do shell script "echo " & quoted form of myData & " > " & quoted form of inFile

This will let you use the myData variable later in your script. If this is not part of a larger script and you are simply modifying your file, use the -i option as jackjr300 suggests. Also, this script looks for the original pattern and appends the new line to it rather than simply looking for empty lines.
EDIT:
set inFile to "/Users/myname/Desktop/URLlist.txt"
set myData to (do shell script "sed 's/\\(http[^ ]*\\)/\\1<\\/a>/g; s/^$/\\
/g' " & quoted form of inFile)
do shell script "echo " & quoted form of myData & " > " & quoted form of inFile

A: Use the -i '' option to edit files in-place.
set inFile to "/Users/myname/Desktop/URLlist.txt"

do shell script "sed -i '' 's:^$:\\
:; s:\\(http[^ ]*\\):\\1:g' " & quoted form of inFile

If you want a copy of the original file, use a specified extension like sed -i ' copy'

set inFile to "/Users/myname/Desktop/URLlist.html" -- text file with a ".html" extension
set nL to linefeed
set prepandHTML to "<!DOCTYPE html>\\" & nL & "\\" & nL & tab & "<meta http-equiv=\"content-type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\\" & nL & "\\" & nL

do shell script "sed -i '' 's:^$:\\
:; s:\\(http[^ ]*\\):\\1:g; 1s~^~" & prepandHTML & "~' " & quoted form of inFile
do shell script "echo '' " & quoted form of inFile -- write last HTML tag

A: I can't understand sed commands very well (it makes my brain hurt) so here's the applescript way to do this task. Hope it helps.
set f to (path to desktop as text) & "URLlist.txt"

set emptyLine to "
"
set htmlLine1 to ""
set htmlLine3 to ""

-- read the file into a list
set fileList to paragraphs of (read file f)

-- modify the file as required into a new list
set newList to {}
repeat with i from 1 to count of fileList
    set thisItem to item i of fileList
    if thisItem is "" then
        set end of newList to emptyLine
    else if thisItem starts with "http" then
        set end of newList to htmlLine1 & thisItem & htmlLine2 & thisItem & htmlLine3
    else
        set end of newList to thisItem
    end if
end repeat

-- make the new list into a string
set text item delimiters to return
set newFile to newList as text
set text item delimiters to ""

-- write the new string back to the file overwriting its contents
set openFile to open for access file f with write permission
write newFile to openFile starting at 0 as text
close access openFile

EDIT: if you have trouble with the encoding these 2 handlers will handle the read/write properly. So just insert them in the code and adjust those lines to use the handlers. Good luck.
NOTE: when opening the file using TextEdit, use the File menu and open specifically as UTF-8.
on writeTo_UTF8(targetFile, theText, appendText)
    try
        set targetFile to targetFile as text
        set openFile to open for access file targetFile with write permission
        if appendText is false then
            set eof of openFile to 0

None of it works.

Any help would be appreciated

A: Don't open the file before you pass it to Document(). Just give it the path like you did in the open() call above.
It needs to be an actual Word .docx file. Note that you can just call document = Document() to get started. The "save as" file name is provided in the document.save() call. The file (if any) provided in the Document() call is just the starting-point "template" to use.

This was a good presentation, Marc.


"People tend to treat 'the haves' better and with more respect than 'the have-nots', even in church. Those with money are likely to be given positions even if they don't have the best of skills, and this is sometimes because of their ability to be funders. Is it fair? Is there an underlying motif?". This is part of the conversation I had with one gentleman in church leadership position.
Those who pretends to be rich do it mostly because they want the same privileged treatment afforded their rich brethren. And the rich pretends to be poor because of the so-called 'donor fatigue'.
Donor fatigue is being so tired of helping finance everything happening in church (or other NGOs) that you are willing to wear a mask of poverty so you are left alone and not always being asked or expected to contribute money. This is a really sad feeling and it may lead to attrition as people (former donors) opt for a more 'populous church' where they could 'hide within a crowd' and go incognito for a while. "Some even decide not to let church folks know their residences, nor show up with their fancy Porsches at church", for a fear of being judged as 'the haves' and hence being expected to contribute each time there is an activity.
1. Not every activity at church is necessary.
3. It is not easy for me to say 'no' so please don't put me in a position where I'd have to ignore your donation requests.
4. Always asking me to contribute, even for things that are useless and unnecessary, make me think you don't really care about me but what I can give.
And this applies the most in churches were the same group of individuals would be expected to help 'make things happen' each time there are 'things' that need to happen, even those things that don't need to. Which in turn may lead to donor fatigue.
Growing and bringing in new people to church who would help carry the burden is one of the viable solutions to donor fatigue, and growth is brought about by soul winning, and soul winning by evangelism.
May God strengthen donors in His Kingdom and encourage them to keep on using (part of) their resources to the advancement of His Kingdom and saving the lost; any other purpose may be not necessary.
Disclaimer: Most of the comments about are from church members and donors I have spoken to and are not solely mine.

Judge rules Ill. eavesdropping law unconstitutional
A former Illinois elementary school principal cannot be charged under the state's controversial eavesdropping law because the law was not…
A former Illinois elementary school principal cannot be charged under the state's controversial eavesdropping law because the law was not narrowly tailored to serve a significant governmental interest, rendering it unconstitutional, a judge ruled last week.
Circuit Judge David Akemann dismissed the Geneva School District's lawsuit against employee Margaret Pennington because Illinois' eavesdropping law punishes innocent conduct while restricting the ability of individuals to record conversations.
"The eavesdropping statute, on its face, violates the protections of substantive due process by failing to include an element of criminal intent which necessarily means that it criminalized wholly innocent conduct," Akemann wrote in his opinion.
As an example, Judge Akemann noted in his opinion that a person recording a child's baseball game could inadvertently record nearby conversations in violation of the presently written law.
In Illinois, all parties must consent to being recorded at a gathering or meeting, but public meetings are exempt from the rule. The controversial eavesdropping law is one of the strictest in the nation and has been declared unconstitutional by state judges multiple times. Recently, Illinois judges dropped eavesdropping charges against a man who recorded his interactions with police and a woman who recorded her conversations with a county official. In both cases, the judges opined that the law does not address the issue of criminal intent.
"The purpose of this statute is to protect citizen's conversational privacy but the legislature has actually removed the requirement that there be any reasonable expectation of privacy and thus subjecting any and all recorded conversations to potential exposure to the consequences of violating the eavesdropping statute," Akemann stated.
The district, along with Assistant Superintendents Dawn George and Patricia O'Neil, sued Pennington in 2011 for more than $100,000 in damages after she surreptitiously recorded conversations with staff members without their consent. The lawsuit also called for the destruction of the recordings and an injunction to prevent Pennington from recording future meetings.
George and O'Neil had expressly asked Pennington not to record their conversations.
Pennington argued that the school district offices are public places and conversations within them are exempt from the all-party consent requirement, but the district argued that the conversations were not of public concern and therefore not subject to the First Amendment.
Pennington's attorney did not return a phone call and the school district's attorney declined to comment.

Aaron: My wife and I still work. We get out for three weeks to a month each year. We do a couple of trips that are a week and a half or so long where we pick an area we want to go to. We don't make hard plans. We'll say, "Let's go to the coast or up north". Then we play it by ear from there. We also go on a few trips that are a couple days in between our work cycles.
Our jobs give us a few days off quite frequently. That way we don't get tied down to a traditional weekend. It's is nice to be out during the week when everyone else is at work. On top of that, I do the one longer hunting trip and then two or three shorter trips that are three or four days of hunting. The camper serves double duties. It's a hunting rig and a camper rig for traveling with my wife.
We occasionally go to national parks, but mostly stick to forest service roads and old mining roads. We make our own adventure. I'll look at satellite photos and find places. We'll go on roads that are washed out or not maintained, but even some of those we can't get through because they'll narrow into quad trails.
A lot of the adventure is to find places. We try to go to places most people don't, which is ideal. We'll go off road and not see another soul in sight for days. Our GPS and satellite photos help us find our way anywhere we go.
One hundred percent of our truck camper traveling is discovering new places. We don't seem to set up for more than two nights in the same spot. We want to get going, find something new, and see more wildlife. Campers are perfect for being nomadic. If I wanted to sit around, I'd probably have a trailer.
TCM: Have there been any unexpected challenges as you've been truck camping that far off the beaten track?
Aaron: I am diligent with the upkeep and maintenance on my truck because of the remote driving I do. Most of the time we are one hundred kilometers away from cell service, so I need to be fairly good with truck maintenance. I haven't had any break downs, knock on wood.
The worst roads we've been on are through areas that were washed out and, in a couple of instances, the bridge was never installed and we've had to backtrack a long way. A few times I have come close to my fuel reserve running out. I usually do carry extra fuel, but not always. Those have been the trips where I've cut it close.
TCM: What are your upcoming plans with the Alaskan?
Aaron: Next year we want to go to the Queen Charlotte Islands. There are white phase black bears there and it's very wild and beautiful. That's the only place we've narrowed down for next year.
The Queen Charlotte Islands are a twenty nine hour ferry ride from the tip of Vancouver Island with a couple stops along the way. We are going to put the camper on the ferry. There are small communities between the three islands, and you get on ferries to get from island to island.
TCM: That sounds amazing. We may follow you. Is there anything else that you would like to add to your interview?
Aaron: I'm a guy who likes to have unique things. I don't like to have what everyone else has. For me, that's a big part of the attraction of an Alaskan camper.
My Alaskan attracts a lot of attention. I was on the Alaska highway and met up with people going in a different direction. They came over to say that they had seen me before. We don't roam as much of North America as you do, but we have been throughout British Columbia, Alberta, and the Yukon and people always ask about our camper.
I also like quality of craftsmanship, and am very happy with my Alaskan. I've put a lot of care and attention into my truck to build it for functionally. I think people can see an idea of who I am by looking at my truck and camper.
We also try to live as green a lifestyle as possible and the fuel savings with an Alaskan helps with that.

Discard after consumption. Burn After Reading review
Osborne Cox (John Malcovich) has been a CIA analyst for forever, however, it appears as though the people at his work aren't appreciating him as much anymore due to his "drinking problem." So Osborne flies the coop and begins to write his memoirs with all the dirty secrets of his job intact. So where's the snag? His wife (Tilda Swinton) is in the midst of some intensive research to prepare for a divorce so she can be with her lover (George Clooney). Hangup after that? It appears Cox's wife, Katie, picked an attorney with a clumsy secretary, and Katie's research, including Osborne's memoirs, gets left behind in a gym. A gym, I might add, which is host to a gang of bumbling idiots (Brad Pitt and Frances McDormand) who stumble onto said research and then attempt to blackmail Osborne. Still with me? Okay. That's the gist, there's some more interconnectedness, but I'll spare you the spoilers of who ends up having sex with whom and who ends up dying.
This is the Coen Brothers first offering since their Oscar-winning No Country for Old Men. It's hard to say it's not good, because the film is enjoyable and should keep you laughing for its brisk 93 minute run time, but it just isn't all the Coen's are capable of doing. The direction is solid, the dialogue wacky, and the cast of characters are everything you'd expect from a Coen comedy, however, it just didn't add up to anything truly special. Sometimes the dark comedy gets a little too dark while still attempting to maintain the humor, and that's when things feel slightly off and clunky.
Although, Brad Pitt makes a hilarious turn as Chad Feldheimer, the dimwitted personal trainer who finds the information and attempts to extort money for its safe return. Clooney also takes a page out of his funny book and delivers a memorable performance as a sex-addicted Marshall's Office employee who is convinced he is being followed by the CIA. Malkovich also proves to have some comedy chops and I'm sure will be remember for his repetition of the line "What the fuck?" throughout the entire film.
And perhaps that's best how to sum up the film, what the fuck? It's a film about idiots and nothingness and that's the point. The Coens didn't fail by any means, and when things end up in a neat bundle by the end of the film, you're left strangely unsatisfied. It's one of their lesser works, but not one of their lesser lesser works. (I'm talking to you, Ladykillers) Intelligence is relative and this could be one of the more intelligent films about unintelligent people made by intelligent people in an attempt to show the world its reflection and ask, what the fuck?

Pouring practice is an important component to bar training that is overlooked by many establishments. It is the only way to ensure that your bartenders can pour drinks accurately and consistently.
Most bars have a standard pour size for their liquor drinks. In Colorado, the most common pour size is 1.5 ounces, although a 1.25 ounce pour size is fairly common as well. When pouring shots, many bars use a smaller 1 ounce shot glass.
Even when bartenders know what the appropriate pour size is, they have a powerful incentive to pour heavy. A heavier pour may lead to a bigger tip and even if it doesn't it's the bar not the bartender that misses out for the most part.
Why Does Pour Size Matter?
While standardizing your pour size may seem insignificant compared with the many other items you deal with on a daily basis, it can actually have a substantial impact on your bottom line. For example, if you want your standard pour size to be 1.25 ounces and your bartenders typically pour 1.5 ounces, this extra quarter of an ounce in each drink increases your cost for the drink by 20% (since you are pouring one fifth more than intended). Over thousands of liquor drinks poured every month, this increase in cost will add up quickly.
Pouring drinks accurately is a skill that needs to be cultivated in order to standardize this process, and pouring practice will help you build this skill among your staff. By requiring your bartenders to do pouring practice, you will ensure that they internalize the pouring routine in a way that makes it standard and consistent.
While pouring practice is an important component of this standardization process, it is equally important that you check the implementation of this practice during shifts. You can do this by comparing what you're pouring to what you're selling on a regular basis. Bar-i's liquor inventory software can help you determine whether your bartenders are adhering to established pouring standards with a great deal of accuracy.
In Part 2 of this post, we will discuss the best ways to implement pouring practice at your bar.
For additional tips on how to streamline your bar processes or to schedule a free liquor inventory consultation, please contact Bar-i today or call us at 303-219-0196. We provide services to bars nationwide from our offices in Denver, Colorado.

Home/Researchers/Christopher Currin
Christopher Currin
Christopher Currin is a NOMIS Fellow at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), working closely with the research groups of Tim Vogels (Computational Neuroscience and Neurotheory) and Gaia Novarino (Genetic and Molecular Basis of Neurodevelopmental Disorders).
Born in South Africa, Currin received a BS in biochemistry, computer science and psychology in 2013 from Rhodes University (South Africa), and a PhD in neuroscience from the University of Cape Town (South Africa) in 2020. He has received numerous awards, including the Alfred Beit award for best undergraduate performance at Rhodes University, a prestigious DAAD-NRF Joint Scholarship for masters and doctoral research, as well as visits to the University of Oxford and Technische Universität Berlin. In parallel, Currin has played an active leadership role in growing computational neuroscience and machine learning in Africa through the IBRO-Simons Computational Neuroscience Imbizo and Deep Learning Indaba X initiatives.
Currin's doctoral studies focused on experimentally informed computational models of brain disorders like epilepsy that allow the exploration of better pharmacological treatment regimes. Currin also has extensive industry experience in data analysis and systems architecture, creating engineering solutions for a range of problems. As a NOMIS Fellow, Currin will use software engineering, machine learning and computational models to study the emerging dynamics of human neural networks from healthy subjects as well as people with epilepsy and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). His project, Unlocking Crucial Cortical Connections in Human Neural Dynamics for Health and Disorder, in collaboration with the Vogels lab, will utilize recordings from high-density multi-electrode arrays (HD-MEAs), monitoring thousands of neurons simultaneously from human-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cultures that are developed in the Novarino lab at ISTA. Using these recordings, Currin and colleagues will guide the future of model development by building human data-driven biological neural network models. Employing advanced genetic and computational techniques, the researchers aim to determine how neurons connect and maintain their connections to form functional networks. This collaborative work will help to reveal the differences between natural and disease dynamics and contribute to effective lifelong clinical treatments for "plasticity pathologies" such as epilepsy and ASD.

 ■ Support          ╒═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
 While I'm flattered and I'm glad that people have been sharing and asking
 support for scripts in other RPG Maker communities, I would like to ask that
 you please avoid posting my scripts outside of where I frequent because it
 would make finding support and fixing bugs difficult for both of you and me.

 If you're ever looking for support, I can be reached at the following:
 ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════╗

 ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════╝
 pm me : Estriole.

 ■ Requirement     ╒═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
 Mandatory : EST - CONSTANT CHANGER
 http://pastebin.com/H0UjHukK

 ■ Introduction     ╒═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
 This script make you able to choose active currency. you can set anything
 like variables and any other variable that have writer method (can be + or - or =)
 useful for scenario where you have multiple countries. and when entering country A.
 any money gained there will add to variable 1 (we can call it Dollar). any money
 spent will substract from variable 1...

 another usage maybe for guild system. where we can purchase item using guild points
 or city system where we purchase using city treasury.

 this script also make us can change the vocab for the buy, sell, cancel command.
 so we can custom the shop a little. for better customization of the shop including
 command, behavior when buying, etc. you might need another custom shop script.

 ■ Features         ╒═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
 - select your active currency
 - purchase item using active currency
 - active currency can be anything that have writer method
 - gold gain will add to active currency IF active currency set
 - gold lost will substract from active currency IF active currency set

   you can try mixing it with eventing if you want something complex.
 - able to mod shop command vocab for different shop 'feel'
 - compatibility with most shop script (for vocab change feature)

 ■ Changelog        ╒═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
 v1.0 2013.10.27           Initial Release
 v1.1 2013.11.19           Updated the script with cleaner vocabulary changing.
                           now more compatible with custom shop script. :D
 v1.2 2013.11.19           some typo causing error and reseting currency not working

                           http://pastebin.com/H0UjHukK

 ■ Compatibility    ╒═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
 should be compatible with most script now...

 ■ How to use     ╒═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
 0) some basic knowledge... ALL thing that store NUMBER and have WRITER method
 can be used as active currency. if you're curious what is WRITER method.
 means you can write code: yourvariablename += 10 and not throw error.

 all Array element already have writer method. so $game_variables[10] can be used
 as active currency. because we can script call $game_variables[10] += 10 and not
 throw error.

 so basically ALL $game_variables member can be used as your active currency.

 yanfly JP Manager script store jp in $game_actors[actor_id] array @jp[class_id]
 so i add compatibility patch so you can use:
 $game_actors[1].jp[1] to use actor 1 class 1 jp

 1) to set active currency. script call:

 active_currency("your currency ruby code in string")

 ex:
 active_currency("$game_variables[1]")
 will use variable 1 as active currency.

 active_currency("$game_actors[1].jp[1]")
 will use actor 1 class 1 jp as active currency

 after you set active currency. any ADDITION / REDUCTION to gold will add to
 active currency instead. this including:
 > buy or sell goods at shop
 > get money from battle
 > get money from event

 2) to back using plain old gold. just script call anytime:

 reset_currency

 it will also reset the vocab changes

 3) to change the shop vocab for different 'feel'. script call:

 currency_unit("String")
 buy_vocab("String")
 sell_vocab("String")
 cancel_vocab("String")
 possession_vocab("String")

 ex:
 currency_unit("Soul")
 buy_vocab("Create")
 sell_vocab("Convert")
 cancel_vocab("End Sermon")
 possession_vocab("Owned")
 will change currency unit to Soul, buy vocab to Create, sell vocab to Convert,
 cancel vocab to End Sermon, and possession vocab to Owned

 4) ** profit **

Despite being in the limelight themselves, Chip and Joanna Gaines have done a really good job at protecting the privacy of their four (soon to be 5!) kids. We occassionally get glimpses of them in the background on "Fixer Upper," but it's rare that one of them actually gets some screen time.
On the March 20 episode of "Fixer Upper," Chip and Joanna's 7-year-old daughter, Emmie Kay, made a very special appearance to help her dad out on a project, and she provided some pretty cute sass, too.
She helped her dad apply adhesive to the back of some gorgeous tiles for the family's kitchen, and even appeared in an interview with her dad to talk about her work that day.
"You know what they call the stuff that you put on the back of the tile so you can put it on the wall? Do you know what its nickname is," Chip asks her. When she guesses the nickname right (butter), Chip asks her how she knew, to which she confidently replies, "I don't know. I just knew because I'm smart." Mood.
She also then tells her dad that he should get back to work. Basically, she's the perfect blend of Chip and Jo.
Chip and Joanna are currently expecting their fifth child together, a boy, and we can't wait to see what name they pick! In the meantime, we're wrapping up the final season of "Fixer Upper," and waiting to see "Behind The Design," Joanna's special "Fixer Upper" spinoff series.


CAMDEN – A teenager who carried loaded handguns to Highland High School in June was sentenced Monday to three years probation.
Delivering the sentence, Superior Court Judge Angelo DiCamillo said he was more concerned about the boy's mental state 60 years from now than he was about punishment.
The probationary term will include continued counseling and monitoring of the teen's medication for depression and a bipolar diagnosis, DiCamillo said. It could include a residential treatment program if one is recommended by the state's Juvenile Justice Commission, the judge said.
The father of the 16-year-old who was the alleged target of the potential violence remained angry about the effect the incident had on his son, who he said has moved out of state because he is afraid to return to his father's neighborhood.
She said he sought out a guidance counselor at a teacher's suggestion, because that teacher thought he was acting strangely.
DiCamillo, who could have sentenced the youth to up to three years in custody, said he believed incarceration would worsen the juvenile's depression. Three medical professionals recommended treatment, not punishment, DiCamillo said.


Can't be long now until we eventually see the fully unveiled 992, stripped of the masking tape etc!
The 991.2 clearly looks sharper, cleaner, and overall better. The pics posted above.. Bleh!
Looks like some nice new colors will be offered. The wheels on the blue car are great.
Is something wrong with this car's suspension?
Probably front axle lift; rear looks a bit high, too, so could have shipping blocks in the suspension.
Awesome!!! U wont need PTS to get a decent green!!!
Dark green AND a dark blue! Finally.
I wonder if there'll be more color choices now they have a new paint shop.
Do we have a social issue?
definitely not Irish... almost looks like it sits between Jet Green and Oak Green ... I think there is a color like Oxford green or something like this. There is also a metallic british racing green that could be it. Metallic greens can be tough to judge without a couple different angles/lightings.
