Choosing flooring is far more complicated than just finding the best-looking product and installing it. Whether you're doing yoga in the den, hosting a dinner party in the dining room, or entertaining the neighbourhood kids in your kitchen, you need a surface underfoot that's comfortable and durable.
Studies show that consumers find choosing the right flooring for their home to be an overwhelming challenge. In fact, it's a process that combines your personal taste with careful thinking about practicality as well as your budget. Asking yourself a few key questions at the beginning of the process should help reduce your worry, ease your choice and increase your long-term satisfaction with your new floor.
What's the size of the family that will regularly use the room, and how much traffic will the floor receive? Children definitely make a difference. Do you own pets? Will the floor be exposed to moisture regularly? How often is the floor likely to need cleaning? How long do you hope and expect your new floor to last?
Carefully consider the location of your new floor. Is it below-, on- or above-grade? Basements are susceptible to ground moisture, so your flooring choice may be different from a bedroom on the second or third floor.
Likewise, kitchens and bathrooms are prone to water damage and humid conditions, which should be a heavy factor in your decision-making process.
Note whether the area you're placing the flooring has (or will have) radiant heat. Some flooring materials aren't compatible, so make it known early in the shopping process.
Also, be sure to observe the space throughout the day. Does it get a lot of direct sun? UV light can fade or darken certain flooring, so look for resistant products.
Considered the highest quality in flooring and is the most popular.
At Versa Style Design, we know that floors impact your life. Since the floor is usually the largest surface in a room, it lays the foundation for the entire look of the space—color, style, texture, and pattern. And a new floor can be a big investment, so you want a surface that will last for years.

A review of the scientific literature by SPPI and CO2 Science finds increased CO2 increases agricultural crop resistance to drought and water-use efficiency, and decreases yield losses attributable to the uptake of aerial pollutants.
As the air's CO2 content continues to rise, nearly all plants will respond by reducing their leaf stomatal apertures, through which water vapor exiting the leaf and carbon dioxide entering the leaf diffuse during transpiration and photosynthesis, respectively. This phenomenon typically leads to an increase in water use efficiency at elevated CO2 concentrations, because with more CO2 in the air, plants don't need to open their stomates as wide as they do at lower atmospheric CO2 concentrations to allow for sufficient inward diffusion of CO2 for use in photosynthesis. And as a consequence of this phenomenon, plants typically exhibit reductions in transpirational water loss, smaller yield losses attributable to the uptake of aerial pollutants, and increases in water-use efficiency. This summary document thus reviews some of the scientific literature pertaining to this important effect of elevated CO2 on the stomatal conductances of agricultural crops.

Say Yes to flight: Slight of Mind takes us through the secret caverns of the Citadel
Posted on March 25, 2019	by Liz Nicholls

What goes up must come down. In the multi-pronged flight of fancy that opens Friday at the Citadel, you'll do a little of both as Slight of Mind takes you on a journey into the wild blue yonder: the secret nooks and crannies of the cavernous glass-and-brick playhouse downtown.
The roving production, part of the Citadel's new-play Collider initiative, is the latest from Theatre Yes , the adventurous indie company that doesn't say No to experiments in immersive theatre in unexpected places.
In The Elevator Project, Theatre Yes explored the dynamics of storytelling in nine downtown elevators, spaces so intimate we were cast as voyeurs and eavesdroppers (or participants), elbow to rib with actors in 16 short plays. Anxiety led us through tense encounters in a secret industrial warehouse. In the Theatre Yes installation Viscosity, we came face to face with real-life stories of oil workers.
And now, in the new adventure fashioned by the award-winning actor/playwright Beth Graham (Pretty Goblins, The Gravitational Pull of Bernice Trimble), we'll fly the friendly skies of Icarus Air. As a nine-member corps of Icarus flight attendants leads us through the non- theatre spaces in the labyrinthine Citadel complex, we'll be on a flight path designed to take us into the heart of myth, explains Theatre Yes artistic director/ producer Heather Inglis.
The invitation to "explore the architecture" came from the Citadel's Daryl Cloran, says Inglis. "We started with the gaze.… What could be seen outside through the glass? What could be seen looking in? We worked to find a way of highlighting the building."
Inglis's cast improvised up on their feet: "we've never created that way before!" And Graham devised three interlocking stories of flight, linked by a nine-year-old girl (Ivy DeGagné) who dreams of becoming a pilot, All three stories have a mythic reverb, starting with Icarus (Philip Geller), the boy who flew too close to the sun with his custom-made wax and feather wings, and paid a big price. And, says Inglis, all three storylines are imbued with paradox: "the contradiction between aspiration, and the inevitability that if we fly we must come down…."

In one of aviation history's most celebrated mysteries, we meet the pilot Amelia Earhart (Melissa Thingelstad) who vanished into thin air in 1937 during an aerial circumnavigation of the globe. In 1958 Valentina Tereshkova (Lora Brovold), factory worker-turned-cosmonaut, risked "a close call" for the distinction of being the first woman in space: 48 orbits in a Vostok 6.
Slight of Mind, says Inglis, "is partly about the trade-offs we make to get the most out of life…. Love and the way it's undermined by the human will to achieve."
In an age when truth has lost its lustre, its value and its contours to counterfeits, myth retains its special impact. "There's a truth in myth. Fiction reveals truth…. And myths are by their nature timeless; they speak to now, in a society with oppressive regimes that manipulate truth and constrict freedom," says Inglis.
Playwright Graham, who usually works in more traditional dramatic structures with an audience that sits still, rose to the challenge of setting a play in motion "as a physical journey to different spaces," as Inglis puts it.
Graham's intertwined story arcs take the production along two pathways. The audience (maximum 60) meets at the Citadel box office, the departure lounge so to speak. And we get divided into two groups that journey to sites in a different order. The play "embraces the reality that people are walking," says Inglis. Slight of Mind parallels the disorienting experience of being in an airport: "it's illogical; you're always in motion and you don't know why or where. Each experience has a gate number, and that scene becomes a flight of the imagination…."
Contributions from the innovative composer/sound designer Gary James Joynes and video designer Ian Jackson make Slight of Mind "seem less like a traditional play and more like a poem," says Inglis. "It's a love-letter to risk-takers."

With the release of Episode VII: The Force Awakens on December 17, 2015, it is a good time to consider, from a quintessential leader perspective, how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader.
It is also a good time to reflect on how many of the same traits that led Anakin Skywalker down the path of unquintessential leadership are shared, in some measure, by his son, Luke Skywalker, and how those may affect what happens as this Star Wars trilogy unfolds. (more…)
How Anakin Skywalker Became Darth Vader – A Quintessential Leadership Analysis

Recently, I sat down and watched, for the second time, back-to-back, the last two movies of the Star Wars prequel trilogy – Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. I had not seen either movie in several years, but wanted to review them after a recent Star Wars marathon on Spike TV during the Thanksgiving weekend when I saw most of all the three Star Wars movies in the original trilogy.
As I watched these two movies, I was amazed to see a lot of quintessential leadership – the presence or lack of presence – issues emerge. I decided to do an analysis of how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader, because in looking at the transformation, we can learn some important lessons about quintessential leadership – what it is and what it isn't and how the presence or absence of the components of trust and trustworthiness, which I've discussed in detail in this blog, determine whether even the most competent, gifted, and capable people are also quintessential leaders.
One of the first things I noticed this time is how much Anakin and Luke Skywalker were alike in temperament and thinking. Both men were extremely gifted, but both also overestimated their gifts and their abilities and it created a recklessness and pride in them that clouded their ability to think clearly, to be humble, and to exercise self-control.
Both Anakin and Luke Skywalker were inconsistent in performance. At times, they both did the right thing, and at other times, they both did the wrong thing. Emotionally, they were both out of control, and they both lived their lives based on their feelings, which is why they both had an inconsistent level of performance. In short, they were unreliable and unpredictable, which are traits of unquintessential leaders.
Additionally, both Anakin and Luke Skywalker shared the trait of impatience. This came in part from pride and their overestimation of themselves, but it also came from a lack of contentment with where they were and what they were doing and the ability to see each step as part of a big-picture process. They both wanted, for example, to be Jedi knights – and both pretended to be before they were – before they had met all the qualifications through training and experience to actually be a Jedi knight.
This is a common character flaw that we find in unquintessential leaders. They want to positions, the titles, but they are either unwilling or unable to patiently do the work and take the time to be qualified to have those positions and titles. When they find a way – as Anakin did – to take a shortcut to where they believe they should be and want to be, the results are always disastrous.
Luke, in spite of sharing many of the unquintessential character traits of his father, turned out to, when push came to shove, avoid the same path his father had chosen. But it occurred to me that even though he did the right thing in the end, he still had the character flaw that he shared with Anakin of questioning the fairness of things as it related to him and he never completely learned to control his emotions, so Luke, as a force for good, long-term, remains questionable in my mind. Doing one right thing one time doesn't make a person's character. Right character is developed through a lifetime of making the right choices every time, all the time.
Granted, none of us does this perfectly, but a quintessential leader has this at the front of his or her intent and purpose at all times. That's the quality of integrity.
So let's look briefly at the unquintessential leader traits that Anakin Skywalker had that led him to choose to become Darth Vader. Notice that I purposefully used the word choose, because that is a crucial element in this discussion: the totality of all the choices in life that each of us makes is an integral component of whether we are quintessential leaders or unquintessential leaders at our core. Granted, there are gifts, abilities, talents that contribute to this equation, but even there, we have the choice to develop them or ignore them, use them or not use them, and to decide how we're going to use them, so choice is always involved at the fundamental level.
In Episode II: Attack of the Clones, we see Anakin Skywalker as a young adult and in an apprenticeship with Obi-Wan Kenobi to become a Jedi knight. One of the things that stands out about Anakin's character, even here, is how forcefully he is led by his emotions. He's a no-holds-barred kind of person when it comes to how he feels. His pursuit of love is untamed and relentless. His fears rule his days and nights. His anger is fierce and hot. His resentments about the things he believes aren't fair seethe steadily just under the surface, occasionally spewing out in volcanic outbursts.
Interestingly, both Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi – as they would years later with his son – are constantly warning Anakin about self-control in all areas of his life (choices), but especially with regard to his emotions. Anakin doesn't realize that being led by his emotions is the destabilizing force in his life.
Emotional thinking crowds out objective thinking and the ability to observe things are they are instead of things from – as Obi-Wan ironically tells Luke to explain not revealing Darth Vader as Luke's father – from a "certain point of view." Emotional thinking leads to inconsistency, which is an unquintessential leader trait.
The roots of Anakin's discontent, which is fueled by his rampant and conflicting, at times, emotions are evident in this episode.
He doesn't see, for example, Lord Palpatine clearly, and believes he is one of the good guys, while Lord Palpatine is slowly and deliberately using Anakin's emotional thinking and lack of objectivity to surreptitously manipulate Anakin.
Anakin believes that things the Jedi are or aren't doing for him, with him, and to him are not fair and are holding him back. This belief is fully cemented in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and it becomes the underpinning of all the choices he makes from there on out.
As a result of Anakin's lack of self-control, not only with his emotions, but in the rest of his life, where we see the same vacillation between extremes that his emotions have start appearing, we see three other unquintessential traits appear: a lack of integrity, a lack of honesty, and a lack of authenticity.
Anakin becomes dishonest with everyone, including himself, in these two episodes. Anakin isn't even truthful with his wife, even though his fear – uncontrolled emotion – of her dying in childbirth leads him to choose to become Darth Vadar, because Lord Palpatine offers Anakin the power to prevent her death. This dishonesty also points to Anakin's self-absorption, self-centeredness, and selfishness.
No longer is he focused on the big picture of why he is there and what the mission of the Jedi is. It no longer is important to Anakin by the end, only what he wants and what he feels and what he needs. In a sense, even his wife and twin children go off Anakin's radar because his choices will dramatically and negatively affect them.
Near the end of Anakin's road to choosing to become Darth Vadar, he straddles the line between being a Jedi apprentice and being Lord Palpatine's apprentice. He is thoroughly inauthentic, double-minded, and we watch as he walks the tightrope of trying to be someone that he has already abandoned being in his mind and in his emotions. The Jedi sense that something's wrong, as does Anakin's wife, but Anakin has gotten so good at pretending to be something he's not that no one realizes what is really wrong until it's too late.
Anakin's issue with integrity was always there, but he made choices in both episodes which eroded and destroyed his integrity completely. A simple – and yet not simple when we examine it – example is his marriage to Padmé Amidala. The Jedi code forbade close attachments because of the emotions those attachments engendered and which the Jedi realized could dilute a Jedi's obligation to his primary duty and could make him a vulnerable target for the dark side of the force.
But Anakin made a choice to deliberately break the Jedi code and marry Padmé in secret, and then further chose to hide their marriage and lie about their marriage, and encouraged Padmé to do the same. I think this is the defining event that destroyed any integrity that Anakin had left.
So, by the end of the third episode, we have seen all the choices along the way that Anakin Skywalker made that led him to choose to become Darth Vader. He had tremendous gifts, great abilities, and a lot of potential. But he lacked the traits of a quintessential leader, so, in the end, all that Anakin possessed naturally didn't matter. We see the the same lack of quintessential leadership traits in the machine-driven-Darth Vader in the first Star Wars trilogy: his outside has changed, he's got more power, but the inside – what he lacked or destroyed by choice to begin with – remained remarkably the same.
The question I leave with you is what are all the choices that are we making today? Are they choices that will enhance our quintessential leadership potential and realization, or are they choices that are eroding our quintessential leadership potential and are cumulatively making us unquintessential leaders?
Every choice matters. Let's make every choice count toward quintessential leadership.


The introduction of the computer mouse revolutionized the way in which users interact with their computers. A mouse controls the computer via a cursor that appears on the computer's screen, simplifying computer use. However, cursors can malfunction. One of the primary problems that arise with cursors is jumping. Jumping can be traced to mechanical problems within the mouse or a software glitch. A professional repair person can fix the problem, but the cost of this service can be steep. Use a few simple techniques to fix a jumpy cursor, saving the cost of a professional repair.
Cursors make using a computer much easier.
Mouse pads can become so dirty they affect the mouse's functions.
Switch mouse pads. Over time, a mouse pad will build up a layer of oil from continual contact with human skin. This layer creates a slick surface that will cause a mouse to malfunction. A traditional mouse has a rubber ball that rides along the mouse pad's surface. A slick or glossy surface will not provide enough traction for the ball to roll properly. A laser mouse requires a clean, nonreflective surface to bounce its laser off of. Oil creates problems for both types of mice.
Check the mouse settings. Log on to the computer as the administrator or computer owner. Open the "Control Panel," select "Hardware and Sound" and click on "Devices and Printers." Click on "Mouse" to bring up the "Mouse Properties" window. Select the "Pointer Options" tab. Check-mark the boxes titled "Hide pointer while typing" and "Enhance pointer precision." Click "Apply" and then "OK." Close the window.
If the mouse's tracking wheels are dirty, the cursor will jump.
Clean the mouse's tracking wheels. If the mouse uses a rubber ball in conjunction with its tracking wheels, dust and debris can cause the tracking wheels to malfunction. This malfunction causes the cursor to jump. Remove the cover that holds the ball in place. Remove the rubber ball. Apply rubbing alcohol to a cotton swab. Rub the tip of the cotton swab back and forth along the tracking wheels until all of the debris is gone. The three tracking wheels are on the inside walls of the opening that houses the rubber ball. Place the ball back in the cradle and replace the ball's cover.
Check for mouse driver updates. With new operating systems and software programs being introduced on a regular basis, devices such as a mouse often malfunction because of outdated drivers. Check the mouse's manufacturer for driver updates. Set up the computer to accept automatic updates from the manufacturer. Check the firewall settings to ensure that updates are allowed on the computer.
Make sure it's only the mouse: test it on another computer.
Test the mouse on another computer. This determines whether the problem is with the mouse's wiring. If the mouse causes the cursor to jump, then the mouse is damaged and should be replaced. If the mouse works, the problem is with the software. Download and install a new driver for the mouse. Run the download as the computer's administrator.


The Carter Burden Gallery announces four new exhibitions, The Night, Edward Fausty, Creek Granite Sculptures, Rod Recor, Vision Beyond, Kiyoko Sakai and On the Wall, Basia Goldsmith. The nonprofit Gallery highlights re-emerging professional artists who are increasingly overlooked for exhibiting their work, due to age.
Edward Fausty's digital pigment prints will be exhibited in a two-person show with sculptor Rod Recor. Fausty is a photographer and printer specializing in digital pigment and collotype photomechanical reproduction. In this show, he is depicting the land and the night sky from suburban areas that have not been completely overcome with light pollution, and yet have a theatrical presence, due to ambient artificial light from human civilization. Having long been attracted to the night, he has used recent digital technology to allow the camera to see in a more naturalistic way, more like the human eye, avoiding some of the exaggerations and color distortions that night photography has displayed in the past. At the core of this work is what Fausty calls "a thin layer of fear" that is programmed into most of us regarding the night. It is this fear that brings excitement and mystery to what might normally be mundane places.
Rod Recor is showing recent sculpture for his first exhibition at the Carter Burden Gallery. Recor's sculpture will be exhibited with Edward Fausty's photographs. Recor is fascinated with the process of forming and shaping stone, due to the permanence and challenge of working with the material. His sculptures begin with the selection of the raw materials based on shape, texture, and color variations. The final pieces vary in texture and the degree of finish, to create numerous associations. Recor's reverence for the stonework from the past motivates him to create sculptures that inspire reflection, wonder, curiosity, awe, uncertainty, and surprise.
Kiyoko Sakai's first solo show at the Carter Burden Gallery will feature recent paintings. Sakai's paintings link elements of American Abstract Expressionism with the line quality of traditional Japanese art. Sakai utilizes color and abstract forms to express her imagination. In addition to using brushes, she also uses twigs, branches, and strings. Through a thermal screen-printing technique, she transfers her drawings onto canvases. Sakai follows her instinct and intuition with imagination of the territory beyond human understanding. She longs for the infinite.
For her first show at the Gallery, Basia Goldsmith will be featured in the installation space, On the Wall. Goldsmith will be exhibiting large abstract paintings on repurposed vinyl. She found the vinyl after it was discarded by an advertising company. She was inspired to paint over the writing and photographs that were originally printed on the material, while allowing the original printed material to come through in specific places.


tales from a "baseball lifer"
Here's a great story for you jaded baseball buffs!
Jackie Mitchell, pitcher for the Chattanooga Lookouts, a minor league baseball team, struck out baseball legends Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig during an exhibition game. Born in 1912, Mitchell showed a talent for baseball from a young age. Her next door neighbor, future Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Dazzy Vance, taught her how to pitch as a girl, including his special "dr…op ball" pitch.
At 17, Mitchell joined a women's team, attended baseball school in Atlanta, and was soon offered a contract by the Chattanooga Lookout for the 1931 season — one of the first professional baseball contracts given to a woman. It was during this season that Mitchell became famous for striking out two of the greatest baseball players in history Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, pictured with her below. Unfortunately, shortly thereafter, the baseball commissioner voided her contract, declaring the game "too strenuous" for women. Jackie Mitchell continued to play professionally with traveling teams until her retirement from the sport in 1937.
There are two wonderful books for young readers about Mitchell's fascinating story: "Mighty Jackie: The Strike-Out Queen," a picture book for 4 to 8 (http://www.amightygirl.com/mighty-jackie-the-strike-out-queen) and an early chapter book "The Girl Who Struck Out Babe Ruth" for 6 to 8 (http://www.amightygirl.com/the-girl-who-struck-out-babe-ruth).

It's late November in Ireland, and I'm looking for a day of adventure for my 2-and-a-half yr old. I've driven past Clonakilty's West Cork Model Railway village many times but never set foot inside. What's the worst that could happen?, I thought, Clonakilty is a great town so if my little-one decides he doesn't like it then there'll be plenty else we can do, so let's go exploring.
We walked into the reception area of the Model Railway Village where the friendly lady at reception informed me that the road train tour around Clonakilty was leaving in 15 minutes. Perfect I thought, my son will love that. Quick look around the miniature villages, then off to the road train.
What is a Model Village?
To be honest I had no idea before we went in there. Some small houses I thought? Maybe some little plastic people dotted around them? It turned out to be much larger and much more engaging than I'd imagined.
Through the main building we went then outside to discover the model villages. They have built a model of four of West Cork's more famous towns. Kinsale, Bandon, Dunmanway and of course Clonakilty. In each case there are some of the more famous buildings, along with miniatures of the high streets and main squares. The detail they have put in is really quite impressive. Do check out the photos, you'll have to look twice to see if it's a miniature or the real thing.
But I'm there with a small child, and being impressed with the accuracy of the replications of buildings he's never seen is unlikely to hold his imagination for long. That's where the big guns come out - the model railway lines.
Each of the model villages has at least one train station on the model railway lines, and there are lots of other stations dotted throughout. Model steam engines and diesel locomotives make their way through the long and elaborate network of train lines. Through tunnels, over viaducts, around the water, behind hills; they have created a magical miniature train network that captivated the imagination not only of my child, but of all of the children I saw there. For us grown-ups too there was a real fascination in tracking the trains on their intricate journeys.
Wonderfully created models follow a complicated course through the whole village network - changing tracks, stopping at stations to let other trains pass, all whilst making sound effects as they stop and start. My son was mesmerised by the trains. Following each train along, losing it where it disappears into a tunnel, then finding the next appearing behind a hill and chasing that along over the bridges.
The 15 minutes until the road train was leaving disappeared in the blink of an eye. Normally a trip on a road train would cause great excitement, but not today. I was met with flat refusal when I suggested it was time for the road train. In the end we delayed our trip on the road train and spent the next hour and a half chasing model trains between the villages.
When we did get on the road train it was a lovely 15 minute journey around Clonakilty town. For us grown-ups it was an interesting look into the history of a town that I thought I knew well. It's the birthplace of John F Kennedy's great-grandfather and where Michael Collins was educated. I also discovered how the innocuous looking roundabout at the start of the town was the site of the town gallows in days past!
There's plenty of information given on the sign boards for history buffs out there to enjoy. Not only about the 4 village depicted, but also about individual buildings of interest and events that have shaped West Cork.
There's an audio visual room inside which explains the life and history the Cork, Bandon and South Coast Railway. West cork used to be full of a whole myriad of small lines connecting towns and villages across the country together. It never ceases to amaze me how lines were built to access what seem today like tiny villages. The last of the lines closed in 1961.
There's an outdoor play area (including, of course, a big wooden train that all the children can climb through and pretend to drive!). Inside is a big soft play area, which proved ever popular. The centre also boasts a cafe & gift shop.
The cafe is open to all, you do not have to buy a ticket for the centre to pop into the cafe.

Alternating silence and speech and silence is the very rhythm of God, as old and deep in the nature of things as creation itself.
The church order has a number of articles that outline some of aspects of eldership. I have put the basic Articles of the church order in together for your information.
Here is the most recent Form of Subscription, along with some supplemental material found in the church order.
Here are some specific ways in which you may want to help your team members individually and corporately nurture their faith.
If your church is considering a change, here are three things I learned that might help.
Whether you went on a mission trip this summer or know someone who did, you might want to learn more about "re-entry"—what happens upon returning to a person's home culture.
Will we ever know Scripture well enough, pray faithfully enough, be wise enough? So how do we hear these words as a calling and an encouragement?
Cross-cultural outreach does not mean you have to leave your country! Cross-cultural interaction happens everywhere and we can provide you with various suggestions for such placements.
We often look around for material on leadership that might inspire us our imagination. Reading Moses Pava helped me, in part because he used two words hardly ever used at the same time as the word leadership, namely, covenant and holiness.
Calvin Seerveld, whenever he can, urges worshipers to build a scriptural vocabulary of lament. When offered in genuine humility and trust, lament in worship need not be the last word.
How does Jesus call us into service? In my mind there are at least three ways.
Faith CRC's experience in local and global missions.
Before you shift gears for the summer, I suggest you start on seven little chores that will help your church make next season a success.
El Salvador is experiencing an average of thirteen homicides a day. These homicides are visible symptoms of a society and church deeply fractured along economic, political and religious lines. Yet it was not "death" but "life" that I will remember from my visit to El Salvador.
The following are characteristics of healthy churches that are seen in the biblical history of God's people.
What does this arrangement say about who or what is most important in worship? What does it convey about how or whether people in the seats or pews take part in worship? What does it imply about who calls you to or leads worship?
Small Group Ministries are like gardens, they need a "gardener" to provide on-going care and attention. The Small Group Leadership Teams acts as "gardener" by filling the following essential roles.
Our best identity is not found in exploration of self independent from others, but self in relationship to others. Here are at least four ways in which Jesus guidance will lead to us to live more deeply as and with community.
To be called as an elder is to take on a new role in your relationship to the congregation. It is important to reflect on your new role and face some of its demands and limitations.
As we dig into "conviction," the second leadership trait that congregations can develop, we switch to a new image—a ship on a voyage. Here's the story.

Throughout Tim's music career, he has developed a passion for the voiceover industry. While focusing on a full time music career, breaking Guinness records, performing abroad and obtaining a Bachelor degree in music production from Full Sail University, Tim Storms has voiced commercials for several businesses and individuals such as, Bellco Credit Union of Colorado, a live event for Merrill Osmond, of the Osmonds, hosted by John Schneider, industrial videos, an ad for ESPN 360 and several other spots.
For Most of his life, Tim Storms has been involved in Christian a cappella music in one way or another. He was blessed to be able to tour abroad with Christian a cappella groups to Jamaica, Brazil, France, Switzerland and Fiji. As a low bass singer, Tim was often told he should break the Guinness World Record for Lowest Note Produced by a Human. In October of 2000, Tim Storms did exactly that. His first Guinness record, set in 2000, was entered into the 2006 Guinness Book of World Records. Again, in 2008, Tim broke his own Guinness record and also broke the record for Widest Vocal Range for Any Human, putting his vocal range at 10 octaves. Yet again, in 2012, Tim reclaimed his Guinness record by vibrating his vocal cords to just over 7 octaves below the piano, setting the record at G-7 (.189 Hz).
In 2012, after winning an international bass vocalist talent search via Decca Records, Tim Storms learned several songs in Russian, then travelled to St. Petersburg, Russia to record with the St. Petersburg Chamber Choir. He was blessed to meet and work with the talented composer, Paul Mealor, who has composed music for UK's Royal Family, the St. Petersburg Chamber Choir, etc. Later in 2012, Tim took part in a promotional tour for the album's release via several radio and TV interviews in London and Australia. Following one of his first interviews, London based voice talent agency, Another Tongue, took Tim on as an unsigned voiceover artist.
In 2013, Tim was asked to star in a short film called Apotome, which took place in the archives of the Musee d'Histoire Naturelle (the Museum of Natural History) in Paris, France. Since he can produce frequencies well below human hearing, the short film producers gave Tim one month to learn, record and edit several songs in French at frequencies well below human hearing. They wanted an abstract feel, as the film was conceptual performance art based. The film premiered at the Festival d'Automne A Paris (The Paris Autumn Festival) and exhibited in other museums and art galleries throughout Paris and Milan, as well as Philadelphia and and Los Angeles, June of 2014.

Deadly words
BY Lyle Stewart Mar 13, 2022
The social media culture war many of us have participated in over the past decade or more is bearing its fruit in a real blood-and-bullets war. Those incendiary posts and hate-filled comments are exploding in the hospitals, universities, apartment buildings and nuclear-power plants of Ukraine. The millions of people displaced from their homes, the lives destroyed or irreparably disrupted – all are collateral damage when an overwhelming power identifies the principles of truth, equity and democracy as an implacable enemy that must be eliminated.
Each missile, bomb and bullet Russia is raining down on its neighbours started as a word. Words have power, sometimes to build, or, as now, to destroy. And from Kyiv to Ottawa to Washington, D.C., the negative words are hitting their targets of division, destruction and ruined lives.
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin – I think by now we can drop the pretense that he is an elected president – is displaying a classic disconnect with reality. It's almost as if he believes his own words when he says that Russia is not indiscriminately shelling Ukrainian cities, or that he is only trying to "deNazify" Ukraine.
His hallucinatory statements recall those of the protesters in Ottawa and elsewhere a few weeks ago as they stamped their feet like three-year-old children crying for "freedom". A year ago, more untrue words led thousands to attempt to overthrow American democracy by storming the Capitol in Washington, D.C. The hatred, narcissism and infantile selfishness of online disinformation echo chambers have led to a mass psychosis across the world.
All are explicitly anti-democratic. They are fed by a steady stream of misinformation from Russian and other social-media black-ops teams that so successfully sow discord and division in the democratic West. To wit: Russia is defending itself from Nazis in Ukraine (whose president is of Jewish descent); that Covid-19 is a hoax, being asked to wear a mask is tyranny and vaccines are tools of genocide; that Donald Trump actually won the election in 2020.
In Russia itself, the nightmare has come full circle. Last week Putin shut down all independent media organs. Now, not to publish or broadcast lies is a crime in Russia. Any attempt to tell the truth in public is illegal and is met with immediate repression. Just ask the thousands of protesters arrested on Russian streets over the past couple weeks for denouncing an unprovoked war of aggression against a peaceful neighbour.
If there is a silver lining in this horror, it is in the utter determination of the Ukrainian people to stand for truth, human rights and democratic self-determination. They have done so again and again: in 1991 in gaining their independence from the Soviet Union, in the pro-democracy Orange Revolution of 2004, and in the 2014 overthrow of a pro-Russian puppet president. They are an inspiration to humanity in the face of what we can now see clearly as implacable evil.
There is also hope in the relative unity of democratic nations to stop pretending that Vladimir Putin's politics – or those of his equally genocidal ally, Chinese President Xi Jinping – belong in the civilized world.
We are at a crossroads. We can hear and see the jackboots marching in our own streets. The future they will create is becoming reality in Ukraine. We need to fight back, with more than words.

Q: Autowiring Spring Authentication Manager in Java Config I've set a custom authentication provider:
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
@EnableGlobalAuthentication
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Autowired
    @Qualifier("samlAuthenticationProvider")
    SAMLAuthenticationProvider samlAuthenticationProvider;

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        /**
         * Do your stuff here
         */
    }

    @Override
    protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
        auth.authenticationProvider(samlAuthenticationProvider);
    }

}

Now, I'd like to set also an alias for the authentication-manager, then I'd like to autowire it in another bean definition.
Eg:
<!-- Register authentication manager with SAML provider -->
<security:authentication-manager alias="authenticationManager">
    <security:authentication-provider
        ref="samlAuthenticationProvider" />
</security:authentication-manager>

<!-- Processing filter for WebSSO Holder-of-Key profile -->
<bean id="samlWebSSOHoKProcessingFilter"
    class="org.springframework.security.saml.SAMLWebSSOHoKProcessingFilter">
    <property name="authenticationManager" ref="authenticationManager" />
    <property name="authenticationSuccessHandler" ref="successRedirectHandler" />
</bean>

Is there a way to do that only in Java Config?

A: I'm not well with new Security Java Configuration, but here is what I see from source code:
@Import(AuthenticationConfiguration.class)
public @interface EnableGlobalAuthentication {}

This annotation imports AuthenticationConfiguration who is @Configuration as well. Any @Configuration is registered as bean, too. So, you can do like this from WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter:
@Autowired
public void setAuthenticationConfiguration(AuthenticationConfiguration authenticationConfiguration) {
     this.authenticationConfiguration = authenticationConfiguration;
}

And get access to the AuthenticationManager:
this.authenticationConfiguration.getAuthenticationManager();

From xml perspective you can use SpEL to get access to that authenticationManager:
<property name="authenticationManager" value="#{authenticationConfiguration.authenticationManager}" />

Sorry, I don't see the point, where AuthenticationManager is registered as a bean. From here you can't configure an alias for him.
UPDATE
BTW, if you are going to @Autowired the AuthenticationManager to some other component, the @Value come to the resque:
@Value("#{authenticationConfiguration.authenticationManager}")
private AuthenticationManager authenticationManager;

UPDATE2
Found it WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter. The source code and JavaDocs:
/**
 * Override this method to expose the {@link AuthenticationManager} from
 * {@link #configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder)} to be exposed as
 * a Bean. For example:
 *
 * <pre>
 * @Bean(name name="myAuthenticationManager")
 * @Override
 * public AuthenticationManager authenticationManagerBean() throws Exception {
 *     return super.authenticationManagerBean();
 * }
 * </pre>
 *
 * @return the {@link AuthenticationManager}
 * @throws Exception
 */
public AuthenticationManager authenticationManagerBean() throws Exception {
    return new AuthenticationManagerDelegator(authenticationBuilder);
}

UPDATE3
How tou get access to the existing AuthenticationManager from custom WebSecurityConfigurerAdapterand configure SAMLWebSSOHoKProcessingFilter?
@Configuration
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

  @Bean
  public SAMLWebSSOHoKProcessingFilter samlFilter() {
    SAMLWebSSOHoKProcessingFilter samlFilter = new SAMLWebSSOHoKProcessingFilter();
    samlFilter.setAuthenticationManage(authenticationManager());
    .......
    return samlFilter;
  }

  @Override
  protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
      http.addFilter(samlFilter());
  }
}

A: This works for me:
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        ...
    }

    @Override
    protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
        ...
    }

    @Bean
    @Override
    public AuthenticationManager authenticationManagerBean() throws Exception {
        return super.authenticationManagerBean();
    }
}

and
@Component
public class UsernamePasswordAuth extends UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter {

    @Autowired
    public UsernamePasswordAuth(AuthenticationManager authenticationManager) {
        setAuthenticationManager(authenticationManager);

        setFilterProcessesUrl("/api/services/login");
    }
}

The calls started in October, when the rain was supposed to come. Rob Thompson's phone kept ringing - a farmer in Fresno, a winemaker in Napa Valley, a rancher in Yreka.
All were looking for water. And they had heard Thompson could find it using an ancient method most call unorthodox, if not ridiculous. Thompson is a dowser, a person who believes they have the ability to locate water or precious metals deep underground using rods, sticks or a pendulum to guide them.
And across drought-stricken California, dowsers, or water witches as they are often called, are in demand. Even those skeptical of the scientifically unproven method are turning to dowsers.
"I'm two or three weeks backlogged right now," said Thompson, a third-generation dowser in Santa Rosa.
California is facing one of the most withering droughts on record, with nearly every part of the state classified as being in a "severe drought," according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. With water deliveries to farmers cut back, then cut off, many are turning to their wells for relief only to find them dry. Too many straws in the cup, groundwater experts have said about the dropping water levels.
That means throughout the state, new wells are being dug.
And that's big business for dowsers, who say they can find the best location at a fraction of the cost of hiring a geologist.
"Pretty much all the farmers I know won't drill a well if they don't have a dowser," said Napa Valley vintner Marc Mondavi - of the famous winemaking family - who happens to be a dowser. "Pretty much all of my weekends are spent dowsing. I'm backlogged."
Experts say water dowsing dates back 5,000 to 8,000 years, with cave paintings in northwestern Africa believed to show the first water dowser. Dowsers say the practice goes back even further.
"At least 10,000 years," said Sandee Mac, president of the American Society of Dowsers. "There is evidence in tombs of people using pendulums, which is a dowsing instrument."
Generally, dowsers use a forked stick, rods or pendulum to find resources hundreds of feet underground, from water to oil to gold. There are also dowsers who focus on health and healing, and others that say they can locate missing relatives or pets.
Water dowsers say the way it works is by listening to their bodies - they feel a reaction in how the stick or rods move or the pendulum swings, many times not only pointing to where water is, but purporting to know exactly how deep to dig and how much it will yield.
"I use stainless steel rods to point me to the best place to drill and when I get over it the rods cross," Thompson said. "I use a pendulum to figure out how deep the well will be and how many gallons per minute (it will produce). I've been very successful doing that."
Geologists have long discredited the practice, saying successful dowsing is simply the result of water being hard to miss in many areas, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, an independent federal research agency in the Department of Interior that studies groundwater. The agency speculates there are thousands of dowsers practicing in the United States.
"There is no scientific evidence that dowsing works," said Thomas Harter, a UC Davis professor who specializes in groundwater issues. "A lot of dowsers operate in areas where there is a lot of groundwater to begin with."
Dowser Greg Storozuk said he understands the skepticism. He was once a critic, too.
"I said it was a big bunch of crap and it didn't work," said Storozuk, who lives in Edgewater, Colo.
Just out of college, Storozuk said his cousin put steel rods in his hands and told him to imagine an underground stream.
"I held them and started to walk when all of the sudden, the rods swung open," he said. "I thought holy smokes I didn't do that."
He's been a professional water dowser since. Annual conventions for the American Society of Dowsers are mostly filled with hundreds of older folks, Storozuk said, leaving him worried there won't be enough water dowsers for the next generation.
"That's the plight of the dowser," he said. "We can't live without water. I think nature instilled us with the instinct. Humans can do this if they choose to. Most people today don't choose to get into the water aspect of dowsing."
With much of the Southwest experiencing droughts, Storozuk said he's trying to match thirsty property owners with master dowsers, many of whom work on donation.
"In California, dowsers used to work around once a week," he said. "That has increased tremendously. Now, some people are doing a dozen or more a week. Bottom line is it works. Some people say it's from God, other people say it's Earth's energy, and geologists say it's a bunch of crap."
In the Napa Valley, Mondavi has earned a reputation for his divining abilities, having helped out some of the biggest names in the business, including Rombauer Vineyards in St. Helena and Bronco Wine Co. in Stanislaus County, which makes Charles Shaw's Two-Buck Chuck and dozens of other popular wine brands. He's also pinpointed locations for wells on his family's winery, Charles Krug Winery in St. Helena.
Despite the name recognition, Mondavi said he still gets a sideways look every once in a while.
"I had a property owner looking at me like I hit my head," Mondavi said. "I found him a hell of a well. He turned into a believer."
Two years ago, Mondavi released a new label - a Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay called the Divining Rod - a tribute to his dowsing.
Like his weekend dowsing job, the wine is doing well, Mondavi said.
"It's up 102 percent over the previous year," he said.
Rob Thompson uses his divining rods to dowse for water at Matanzas Creek Winery in Santa Rosa. The stainless steel rods cross the closer he comes to an underground water source.

Between the holiday villages on this strategically important porphyry hill arises Castelfeder (from castello, the Italian word for castle). Castelfeder is a prehistoric and Roman as well as early Medieval settlement characterised by the remnants of several structures and buildings on a large hilltop. The place is a true place of energy and a popular destination for excursions, especially in spring.
Today sections of the encircling defensive wall with the well-known "Kuchelen" castle walls, and parts of the Barbara chapel from the 6th century are still retained. The sunny Castelfeder hill also impresses with its interesting plants, ancient oak trees and a biotope.
Castelfeder hill has another amazing feature: the fertility slide, a flat, almost shiny polished slide carved into the porphyry. The slide is said to have been the centre of an ancient fertility cult. Rumour has it that even today sliding down it still results in the arrival of a much yearned-for baby.
The hill is also home to grazing goats, much to the delight of visiting children.


Wangerland is a municipality in the district of Friesland, Lower Saxony, Germany. It is situated on the North Sea coast, approximately 20 km northwest of Wilhelmshaven, and 10 km north of Jever. Its seat is in the village Hohenkirchen.


Origin and Habitat: Aiquile, Cochabamba, Bolivia (Field number KK1800).
Altitude range: 3000 metres above sea level.
Description: Sulcorebutia cupreata is an undescribed name (nomen nudum - Abbreviation n. n. A title lacking valid description). It was first named by the Czech cactus trader Karel Knize, resident in Lima, Peru. It has been said that Knize gave most of the plants he collected/sold new names to increase sales. Knize never properly described his plants, he just gave them names and sold them. He deliberately hunted down unusual looking things so it can be difficult to characterise them in terms of the existing described species. This "species" is somewhat similar to Sulcorebutia flavissima (Rebutia mentosa), but Rod and Ken Preston-Mafham, in their "Cacti: The Illustrated Dictionary" lists Sulcorebutia flavissima Rausch as an alternative name for Weingartia flavida F.H.Brandt, Sulcorebutia flavida (F.H.Brandt) Pilbeam and Sulcorebutia cupreata n.n. (Kníže ), but then who can say what it should really look like since Knize never described it.
Derivation of specific name. Latin "Cupreatus,-a,-um" - copper coloured, possibly for the body colour?
Areoles: White to brownish, oval.
Radial spines: Protruding white to yellowish.
Central spines: Long straight yellowish to yellowish-brown.

Rúben Diogo da Silva Neves (* 13. März 1997 in Mozelos) ist ein portugiesischer Fußballspieler. Er steht in England bei den Wolverhampton Wanderers unter Vertrag und ist A-Nationalspieler.

Karriere

Verein
Ab dem Alter von acht Jahren wurde Neves in der Nachwuchsakademie des FC Porto ausgebildet, zum Ende hin verlieh ihn der Verein für ein Jahr an den Padroense FC aus dem Nachbarort Senhora da Hora. Zur Saison 2014/15 rückte der Mittelfeldspieler in den Profikader auf und kam gleich am 1. Ligaspieltag beim 2:0 gegen Marítimo Funchal zu seinem Debüt im Herrenbereich. Es folgten 36 weitere Saisonspiele in nationalen Pokalwettbewerben sowie im Europacup, in denen er je ein Tor erzielte und vorbereitete. In der Champions League kam Neves mit Porto bis ins Viertelfinale, in der heimischen Liga wurde man mit drei Punkten Rückstand auf Benfica Vizemeister. Am 20. Oktober 2015 bestritt er im Alter von 18 Jahren und 221 Tagen das Champions-League-Gruppenspiel gegen Maccabi Tel Aviv als bis dahin jüngster Mannschaftskapitän in der Geschichte des Wettbewerbs. Damit löste er den bisherigen Rekordhalter Rafael van der Vaart ab. Während der Mittelfeldspieler auch in der Folgesaison regelmäßig eingesetzt wurde und die Mannschaft zeitweise als stellvertretender Kapitän anführte, reichte es zwischen Sommer 2015 und Frühjahr 2016 nur noch für lediglich 18 Spiele.

Für eine Ablösesumme, die bei rund 18 Millionen Euro gelegen haben soll, wechselte der Portugiese zur Spielzeit 2017/18 in die zweitklassige englische Championship zu den Wolverhampton Wanderers. Der Klub verpflichtete parallel seinen Landsmann Nuno Espírito Santo als neuen Cheftrainer. Hier wurde er auf Anhieb zum Stammspieler, erzielte sechs Tore und verpasste in seinem ersten Jahr lediglich vier Ligaspiele aufgrund von Sperren. Als Meister stieg Neves mit den Wolves in die Premier League auf. Auch in der höchsten englischen Spielklasse behauptete er seinen Platz im defensiven Mittelfeld und gelang mit dem Verein bis ins Halbfinale um den FA Cup, während in der Liga der siebte Platz erreicht wurde. In der Folge gewann Neves mit dem Team alle Qualifikationsspiele, wodurch der Einzug in die Gruppenphase der Europa League realisiert wurde.

Nationalmannschaft
Neves war für fünf portugiesische Nachwuchsnationalmannschaften aktiv. Er nahm mit der U17 als Kapitän an der EM 2014 teil, bei der man gegen den späteren Sieger England ausschied. Im November 2015 wurde der Mittelfeldspieler von Nationaltrainer Fernando Santos in einem Freundschaftsspiel gegen Russland erstmals in der A-Auswahl eingesetzt. Gegen die Niederlande konnte sich Neves mit Portugal im Juni 2019 im Endspiel der UEFA Nations League durchsetzen. Bei der Europameisterschaft 2021 stand er im portugiesischen Kader, kam jedoch nur zu einem Einsatz als Einwechselspieler.

Erfolge

On my last evening in kelowna I invited two of Kelowna's food bloggers Val and Laura (www.morethanburnttoast.com and www.anuneducatedpalate.com, respectively) for a glass of wine on the patio. It's fun to be with foodies who can talk about food and blogging. There are a few food people I'd like to get to know better in Kelowna and I hope to have more of these evenings as time goes on. I was busy enjoying other company until just before they came and had no time to prepare food so I put together an appetizer tray to serve with a bottle of wine on the patio. I arranged everything on a single large antique pizza paddle that I bought at the fabulous Mission Hill Winery this summer (see image above and below).
Luckily it was a lovely, warm evening and we sat outside until late, exchanging stories, information and ideas. I find food people to be warm and generous and spending time with Val and Laura confirmed this impression. Food bloggers work hard to provide others with good recipes, images and information. The creative process has its own rewards and, for bloggers, rewards are also found in readers comments and relations we develop with other foodies that make us feel connected out there. We do have the stats that show how many visitors we have on our sites, how many page views, what countries the visitors come from and how long they spend on the blog. However, without the comments and personal relations in the blogging community these stats remain faceless and nameless. So it is nice to read your comments, connect with other bloggers and create a community of like-minded individuals sharing the same passion for food and related interests.
Musings aside, I thought you may appreciate an image or two of an appetizer tray that you can put together in no time at all and share with your family and friends over a good bottle of wine. Everything can be purchased from a good store and assembled at the last minute. Of course you can elaborate and make all kinds of other things. This is just meant to be a last minute put-together for an informal gathering. You want to come over? There is always room at the table.
Arrange your selection from the items suggested above on one large tray or a few smaller ones. Pile the breads in a couple of baskets.
Serve with a bottle of wine and enjoy your company.
If that pizza paddle could talk!
Hi Barb, isn't that the truth. They told me at the store that it's 150 years old and from Europe. Wouldn't I love to know the history.
Everything is so artistically presented and so inviting! Beautiful….
Hi Marilyn, just like your food. I have seen it many times.
One of my favorites is a cheese plate with some goodies and wine : ) can I come over for ur next cheese plate?
Anytime J, I am reserving a spot for you.

WASHINGTON, DC – "The majority of journalists adhere to the rules; there's swift justice for writers who stray. But, too many reporters have been taking liberties in recent years and getting away with it, especially some of those who cover social and political issues. Why do they do that? Because they may have a political agenda or because, quite literally, they are eager to make headlines," says Dan Weber, president of the Association of Mature American Citizens.
Weber made his comment in the midst of what appears to be a rising tide of anti-Trump sentiment among some reporters and editors seemingly eager to report on his tenure so far in negative terms. "Ironically, there have been numerous news reports of the extraordinarily negative media coverage Mr. Trump has received during his campaign and throughout his first 100 days in office," according to Weber.
The facts speak for themselves, says Weber. White House spokesman Sean Spicer holds more press briefings, he takes more questions from reporters and has expanded access to the White House press room by providing considerably more press passes and introducing the use of Skype for reporters unable to be at the briefings in person. Meanwhile, President Trump has done more media interviews with a more diverse group of media outlets than any president in recent memory.

JaRon Nero Ran from the Cops and Vanished. Now the Family Says the Police are Responsible for Not Catching Him.
UPDATE: Ja'Ron Nero, 23, ran from police on New Year's Day. He alluded the officers who were pursuing him following a domestic disturbance and disappeared. In the weeks after, Nero's family blamed police for his disappearance. Now his body has been found close to where he disappeared.
Nero was found Monday, submerged in the creek near where he disappeared. He was found by the fire department as they performed a sweep of Nimishillen creek in Canton, Ohio.
When Nero was confronted by police on January 1, he ran. He scaled a fence outside of an apartment complex and continued toward the creek. Before his discovery Monday, his family members blamed the police for not finding him.
"So are family members who say law enforcement isn't trying hard enough to find him and he's likely in danger, hurt or even dead," The Canton Rep. writes.
"We just want him found. Dead or alive," Nero's aunt, Lashawn Ajamu of Cleveland, told reporters. "My main concern is, they had all these police officers chasing him and they even had a police dog…. How did they allow him to get out of their sight? Where were their body cameras?"
The officer pursuing Nero was wearing a body camera, though the distance between the two grew as Nero ran.
Nero "was involved in a fight with his children's mother and another man at an apartment," the paper notes. When police arrived, Nero bolted.
For a short part of the pursuit, the officer was within shouting distance. He ordered Nero to stop, but Nero did not. He ran and scaled a fence and headed to a wooded area beside Nimishillen Creek.
Police quickly surrounded the area on both sides of the creek.
"Did he cross?" one officer asked on the radio.
"Negative. He's in the treeline." Another responds.
"I seriously doubt he went into the water. It's pretty high and running fast. We're on the north side of the creek. (We'll) see if we can get eyes on him," another echoes.
When the officers couldn't find him, they called in dogs. The dogs were unable to pick up Nero's sent, suggesting that he might have entered the creek.
"Nero's mother filed a missing person's report Jan. 14, two weeks after the incident," the paper notes. "She told officers she had not seen her son since Christmas Day. She also cited 'police negligence and misconduct,' according to the report."
The officers, though, continued to search the area for Nero and found his submerged body, Monday.
"We searched the entire area of Nimishillen Creek in the southeast part of the city near Cherry Avenue, Sherrick and the surrounding wooded area around the creek with negative results," Capt. Dave Davis said, originally. The fast moving waters of the creek and cold temperatures prevented them from doing a more in-depth search of the creek's bottom.
"It could be a lot of things," his aunt said. "We know that he was being chased by the police. … When do the police stop chasing someone? He did not have a weapon, he did not have a gun … From what we were told, again, the police did not look for him."
"Up until today the family has felt like no one was taking this seriously," Abraham Bonowitz, a family friend told reporters. "That they just gave up the chase on Jan. 1 is puzzling. Nobody has heard from Ja'Ron since."
"The family has a lot of fear that he got into the water. We think someone needs to take a boat down the creek, all the way to Dover Dam if necessary."
It now seems that those fears were correct. In his attempt to evade capture, he either fell into or jumped into the creek.

Буда́йка — небольшая река на северо-востоке Москвы, левый приток Яузы. Длина реки — 5,8 км, из них вне коллектора — 4,4 км. Площадь водосборного бассейна составляет по разным оценкам от 6 до 10 км².

Имеет исток в Лосином острове, на границе с Ярославским районом. В настоящее время исток представляет собой пруд к юго-востоку от комплекса МГСУ на Ярославском шоссе; также река подпитывается из ряда окрестных мелких ручьёв. Далее Будайка протекает на юго-запад параллельно Ярославскому направлению железной дороги, пересекает Московскую окружную железную дорогу и недалеко от платформы Яуза уходит в коллектор. Далее в коллекторе пересекает железнодорожные пути, проходит по территории Центральной клинической больницы № 2 имени Н. А. Семашко (И. А. Кассирский в шутку называл эту больницу «Оксфорд на Будайке», ныне в составе ОАО РЖД), пересекает Малахитовую улицу и впадает в Яузу недалеко от проезда Кадомцева, после пересечения с которым Будайка выходит из коллектора. Последние несколько десятков метров русла Будайки перед впадением в Яузу в 2004 году одеты камнем в рамках создания рекреационной зоны Ростокино.

Визуально пойма реки и вода в ней сильно загрязнены бытовыми отходами различного происхождения, а также маслянистыми отходами.

По названию реки Будайки поименованы Будайская улица и Будайский проезд.

Everyone hates insurance renewal time because you have to fill out forms, collect data and go through the whole agonizing process every year.
This is the computer age; take advantage of it.
Implementing a claims and risk management system is the best way to track, manage, and report on data. Renewals become effortless as all updated data can be exported and shared in minutes. Inside a claims and risk management system, you can scan and keep copies of all insurance renewal applications that you fill out.
Ask your broker if they have electronic forms that you can edit, so you can save and update them annually. Every risk management policy, safety policy, contract wording, sales agreement, marketing materials, and anything else that show your risk management process should be in this system.
By keeping this information up to date, renewals become much easier, less time consuming, and more effective.
Constantly work on improving your risk and documenting your efforts. Saying to an insurance company "here is our risk management plan and here are all the things we implemented to improve our risk" is a lot better than saying "we winged it."
Every successful organization manages risk whether they know it or not. You are already doing a lot right now to mitigate your risks. Take it a step further by implementing a claims and risk management system. This way, your organization can easily report on trends, uncover causes of past occurrences, and show what's being done to mitigate the frequency and severity of future losses.
Presenting this data demonstrates you're actively managing risk and have a plan in place to minimize future occurrences. This process makes your organization more attractive to insurance markets and dramatically affects the cost of insurance premiums.
How much does your organization spend a year on insurance? How much time do you spend on preparing your insurance application and renewal?
Now consider how much time you would spend going after a customer that paid you annually as much as your insurance costs.
The amount of time should be the same, but you more than likely spend a fraction of the time on insurance as you do on the sale.
Contact your insurance broker 90 days before your renewal date and start working with them to get your application and renewal documents together. Ask your broker what their renewal strategy will be for this renewal.
There are good ones and bad: don't settle for substandard service.
It is a very competitive business, so if your broker doesn't want to make an effort there are a hundred lined up behind them that will. Make sure your broker has the experience and access to plenty of insurance markets that write your type of insurance coverages.
No matter how good your broker is, they will never know your business as well as you do. That being the case, how can they be expected to communicate your organization's risk effectively to the insurance market? Work together with them. Your broker can add a lot of guidance and value, but you are your organization's best salesperson!
Write an executive summary for the insurance companies and give it to your broker to include with the marketing submission they prepare. The letter should give an overview of your risk, why you are a good risk compared to others, and the highlights of the things you do to mitigate the risks in your business. It will let the insurers know you care about your risk and leave them with a positive impression of your organization.
Remember, people make these decisions, not computers, so the impression you make is important.


Sydney's Western suburbs are a thriving melting pot of cultures and nationalities. And for Parramatta-based property developer Dyldam, the region is also a prime centre for business. Over the past 50 years, the company has been responsible for numerous properties in the city's west, and has been ranked as Australia's number one apartment builder for two consecutive years (2017 and 2018) in the 'HIA–Colorbond® Steel Housing 100 Report'. The business is showing no signs of slowing down as it continues to secure real estate for some big projects.
The Opera Merrylands is one such development that is currently underway. When complete, it will comprise eight individual buildings with 1,200 apartments as well as commercial and retail space. "The market in Merrylands wants the benefits of city living – being so close to Parramatta – as well as a little bit of extra space and privacy," says Dyldam CEO Fayad Fayad. "So we planned to create that scenario with The Opera. Our focus is more on larger two- and three-bedroom apartments, compared with other developments in Parramatta, which focus on studios and one-bedroom apartments. The experience we want to create with The Opera is to capture the lifestyle of a home on a quarter-acre block without all the maintenance.
Fayad himself hadn't initially intended on joining the business. In his early teens, he had aspired to be an architect but later changed his focus towards construction.
And with building comes an extensive network of suppliers to support the projects as they come together. "We approach every relationship on more than a transactional, project-by-project or task-by-task basis," Fayad says. "When I talk to suppliers, contractors and consultants, it's more of a 'come join the Dyldam family' scenario. Not, 'We've got this project in Parramatta. What are you going to do for us there? What are we going to do for you?
As Fayad continues to leave his mark on Dyldam and propel it towards an even more prosperous future, he shares some advice that has guided him throughout his career.

The workshop is organized within the Academy of Finland research project, "The Philosophical Import of Ordinary Language: Austin, Ryle, Wittgenstein, and their Contemporary Significance".
Here and at other places, Wittgenstein seems to ignore the Kantian distinction between critical and dogmatic metaphysics. Critical metaphysics proceeds from the notion that the metaphysical order of reality is the same as the logical order of thought and language, and that metaphysics can therefore be meaningfully pursued only by investigating this shared logical order. Dogmatic metaphysics, on the other hand, conceives of reality's order as separate from what it sees as our merely subjective or conventional means of representation. Consequently, whereas the critical metaphysician will reject dogmatic metaphysics as a confused attempt to investigate the world "from sideways on," the dogmatic metaphysician will conceive critical metaphysics as a subjectivist form of idealism.
Dogmatic metaphysics was always one of Wittgenstein's central targets. His relation to critical metaphysics is less clear. The Tractatus is often read as a work of critical metaphysics, and it is fairly easy to see why. But what about his later philosophy? Interpreters who emphasize the independence and arbitrariness of Wittgensteinian grammar will deny that his later project can sensibly be conceived as a form of critical metaphysics. Other readers, including Anscombe, McDowell and Putnam, seem much more open to a critical-metaphysical way of inheriting Wittgenstein's later thought.
Central here is later Wittgenstein's view of the philosophical import of ordinary language. What is the exact significance of his stated aim to "bring words back from the metaphysical to their everyday use" (PI 116)? It has often been said that later Wittgenstein's emphasis on ordinary language goes hand in hand with a deep criticism of philosophy's traditional aspiration towards system-building. Now, a systematic aspiration of the sort Wittgenstein seems to reject is present not only among dogmatic but also among critical metaphysicians. Indeed, as Kant's own work aptly illustrates, systematicity is often seen as absolutely central to the critical-metaphysical endeavor. So, does Wittgenstein's rejection of system-building in philosophy show that he is not doing any sort of metaphysics at all? Or, is his point that critical metaphysics can somehow be done in a non-systematic fashion? Or, is there a deep tension at the heart of Wittgenstein's philosophy, between his attack on system-building and an aspiration to do critical metaphysics? Or, is Wittgenstein a systematic philosopher in the relevant sense, after all?
Similar questions arise not only with regard to Wittgenstein, but also with regard to other 20th century thinkers who have emphasized the philosophical significance of ordinary language, including J. L. Austin, Gilbert Ryle, and Stanley Cavell. The overall aim of the workshop is to discuss this tangle of issues, exegetically and systematically. Individual papers need not engage in exegesis, but can well look more systematically at one or several of the difficulties involved.
