May 14. 2010 Jeroen got the announcement he was selected in the DV 2011 Lottery of the US Government. This is a Lottery by which means you don't win money (well, for the time being that is), but you win the right to live and work in The USA. Because only about 2.5 % of the Lottery participants wins, it's kind of a big deal. To us it was and is!
I always had that magic thing going on with the US. Sometimes it just killed me (figuratively) that I wasn't there. You can call it 'homesick'. Yes, I'm Dutch, but that's the way I felt about it. Then Jeroen and I visited America (Washington, Oregon, California) together in 2009 and he too fell in love with this country. It was the second time we entered the US Lottery and this time we got it all right. Jeroen did, and because we are married, I was the lucky 'Appendix' and am allowed to travel with him. Then we had to wait for a year! Jeroen had lucky number 252##, which meant that we were not among the first ones to have the emigration interview at the American Embassy in Amsterdam (they start in October each year). I calculated we would have our interview around May 2011, and May it was.
So we had our interview May 17. 2011. We had our obligatory medical on April 28. 2011. I was nervous about it all. I am a real stress chick, fortunately Jeroen isn't. They wanted to screen us in all relevant ways, and so they did.
We had our X-ray taken, and it went okay. The lady who had taken my X-ray photo, told me she worked with an uncle of mine for three years. She started by asking: "Are you related to Janus Oomen?" Because both my grandfather and an uncle of mine go by that name, I replied: "Yes, which one…?" I didn't even think about a cousin of mine who's name is also "Janus Oomen". Then she told me it was Janus, the internist, and I could confirm that particular Janus Oomen was my uncle. She said: "Tell him I said hello". It's a small world. For this X-ray photo's you had to undress your torso and even my bra had to come down.
We turned to be in perfect health, though my heart beat and blood pressure were significantly higher pure out of stress. I know this to be true, because we had a preliminary medical checkup at our own doctor, just to see how things were standing (to be prepared). In this preliminary I had a blood pressure of 100-65, but at Dr. Schultes, it was significant higher (148-…)… and my heartbeat at the preliminary was 70 (if I remember correctly), and now it suddenly was 88. Jeroen was a lot easier going and his heart beat was a sporty 60 at both medicals.
But everything fell within the norms, so we didn't need to worry and our blood came out healthy as well.
Then yesterday, D-Day… We got in the car at 10 PM which turned out to be way too early, for when we arrived in Amsterdam, we had to wait for hours (it was at 1.30 PM). I wanted to go early, to exclude the possibility that we would be too late. Oh oh you stress chick… After some walking around aimlessly, we sat down in the "Vondelpark" in Amsterdam, and the birds were singing so beautifully in the three.
(Source: http://www.whats-your-sign.com/horse-symbol-meanings.html) Well, that was a nice cosmic sign, thank you, Cosmos!
But there was a third sign. As we were sitting on a bench in the Vondelpark, this man walked past us twice, who looked like Keith. You sure will be asking: who in heaven's name is Keith? Well, Keith is our contact in the United States. He is a veterinarian and lives in Thousand Oaks. We got to know him in very strange and in fact incredible way (too long a story to tell right here). Keith is our mail address for correspondence of the US government, our green cards will be send to his address. You had to give an address before / during this interview for this purpose. So, there was this man passing us by twice, and we both agreed he looked a lot like Keith, and we thought that was very nice.
Then the interview. There was some very strikt security around and in the US Embassy in Amsterdam at the Museumplein 19.
We had to leave our bags and cellphone behind. Even the folders we had to take inside were carefully examined. The handsome and friendly black security guard opened the folder with my paperwork and diplomas (I brought it with me in vain, because they had no interest whatsoever in my diplomas), and he kept staring at my first 'diplomas'. You need to know I put my diplomas in there chronologically, and so I started with – please don't laugh too hard at me – my gymnastics and swimming certificates of the Elementary School. He kind of looked with that disbelieving glance and then burst out laughing and said: "Wow, you still have that. That is so cool! I haven't got mine anymore." So, a little bit embarrassed, I laughed with him and he let us through, after the standard security drill.
Inside, there soon was a long line of waiting people, all for different Visa wishes and appointments. I got the firm impression we were the only ones there for winning the Green Card Lottery. Then this thing with Jeroen's folder started. Frantically I was getting all the stuff out the nice lady at the desk (behind bullet-proof glass) asked from us. She examined everything carefully (birth certificates, marriage certificate, diplomas, work experience, financial support) and scared us a little, by telling the documents that were on my name didn't count (like the ownership documents of our house and saving accounts that were on my name). Fortunately we had a job offer on Jeroen's name, (with a dollar amount on it) and the audit of the value of Jeroen's business in the Netherlands. We had nine work recommendations for Jeroen, but it took me so long to get them all out of the folder, the lady said: "Just take the three most important ones." I guess this was just a little bit of a overkill (all these recommendations), so Jeroen chose the three most important ones. Finally she wanted our U.S. passport photos. Then she asked us if we brought the stamps too. Yes, we did, and she told: "You are the first ones who have this." You need to take stamps for a registered package, because they will send you things and they want you to provide the stamps.
After this, there was this long, long waiting. More than a hour later we were called and we stood at the desk again. A handsome young US consul (dark hair, dark eyes), made us swear we tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth and raise our right hands while we were doing this (the swearing). So we did. Then he asked Jeroen some things, and we were (nervously) excited but oppressing this. He was quickly but seriously going through Jeroen's diplomas and work experience, and examining it. We were getting pretty nervous at this time, because he had that very serious look on his face. But more and more, a smile came over his face and it lighted up his intelligent face. Then he said the magic words: "Your visas have been approved!" We told him that we were very happy about it and he then replied he too was happy about it. He told us our passports with the green card entry stamp would be returned to us in about four days. With these Green Card stamps you are allowed to stand in row with US citizens the moment you get off the plane and when you need to check in. You're no tourists anymore with the Green Cards. After this "POE" – Point Of Entry – they will send the actual Green Cards within two-three weeks (it could be more) to the given address (that is Keith's address in our case).
With a light and enlightened step we walked away. We did it, wow, we did it!
Now we have to carefully start planning things. Of course, we already have given it a lot of thought: where to start, what to do and how to do it, but now we really can. We will start at Keiths in Thousand Oaks, California, for he was so kind to offer his home as our first place to stay (for a week or so). When I have more relevant news, i will continue this blog.


Genoa – Tuesday 9th July, 2019 – Casa Paganini, InfoMus Research Centre, Piazza di Santa Maria in Passione, 34.
Recent years have seen an increased interest in machine learning based predictive methods for analysing quantitative behavioural data in experimental psychology.
PredPsych is a user-friendly, R toolbox based on machine learning predictive algorithms (click here to download the toolbox). In this workshop, it will be presented the framework of PredPsych via the analysis of recently published multiple-subject data sets. In addition, examples of possible research questions that can be addressed with the machine learning algorithms implemented in PredPsych will be discussed.
We anticipate that PredPsych will be of use to researchers not only in the field of psychology, but also in that of clinical neuroscience, enabling computational assessment of putative bio-behavioral markers useful for example, for prognosis and diagnosis.
This workshop is meant for researchers interested in learning how to apply Machine learning alghoritms in practice, by means of a user-friendly R-based toolbox. The course material is appropriate for researchers with limited programming experience.
We advise you to bring your own laptop. At the beginning of the workshop, both R, R-studio and PredPsych toolbox will be installed.
9.30 – 10.00 – General introduction: why machine learning in Psychology?
The workshop will be held at Casa Paganini, InfoMus Research Centre, Piazza di Santa Maria in Passione, 34 – Genoa (Italy).
The cost is € 80,00 for each participant. Registration closes on July 1st, 2019.
Due to the limited availability of seats, early registration is strongly recommended to ensure participation.
Please note that your registration is completed only after the registration form and payment are received.

Support for Custom Field Types/Field Type extensions. This means that you (or anyone else! 🙂 can write your own plugins for Simple Fields that adds new field types. Want a field type that let the user select a date range? Well just write it then! Or hire someone to do it. The main thing is that with this function Simple Fields is endless extendable!
New functions for registering field groups and fields and post connectors using plain PHP. Great news for theme developers beacuse now you can add pre-defined sets of fields for your users. No need to add fieldgroups or post connectors manually.
New and better/easier functions for getting the saved values for a post: simple_fields_value("field_slug") and simple_fields_values("field_slug_1, field_slug_2"). No more messing with fieldgroup and field IDs.
Actions and filters are added at many places so developers can modify parts of Simple Fields behavior.
The above features surely are great, but since I am just one person It's difficult to spot possible bugs. So this is what I need you for: please help me find the bugs in the upcoming version of Simple Fields!
You can find the latest version of the plugin at Simple Fields GitHub project page. Please download it from there (or clone the repository, whatever suits you best) and use the plugin on an existing or new site and then report any bugs tot the GitHub project page or directly to me.

Even among other pricey space ventures, it's an expensive price tag. To put that number in perspective, just over 10 years ago NASA estimated the cost to send astronauts to Mars. Their rough estimates put the price of a human Mars mission in the ballpark of $40 billion US dollars.

volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chlorine bleach, phosphates, alkylphe-nol ethoxylate (APE) or nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE), and ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid (EDTA), all of which are commonly found in commercial laundry detergents. Esporta detergents can also be used in cool wash temperatures, which further reduces the impact on the environment. Contrast this with restoration dry cleaning techniques that typically use cleaning solutions such as perchloroethylene (perc), which is classified as a hazardous air contaminant and must be handled as hazardous waste. Califor-nia declared perchloroethylene a toxic chemical in 1991, and its use will become illegal in that state in 2023.
In 1998, esporta created its first prototype, having been inspired by a couple who had transported their son's hockey team to and from a tournament. The machine washed two sets of hockey gear, and the foundation for the Esporta patents on this fourth type of washing, the concept of moving an item through the washing medium, was created.
A second prototype was created in 1999: a machine that could wash and dry four sets of equipment at a time, and the first production model was released the next year. Dubbed the ES-3100, this machine was much smaller than the prototypes and could wash and dry eight full sets of hockey gear in three hours.
The concept developed throughout the decade, soon incorporating a front-loading system, the ability to clean a variety of athletic equipment, and reduced cycle time. In 2005, the company released the RH-3250 Industrial Extractor, its first system for soft contents restoration. The machine had the ability to wash and extract but not dry.
In January of 2007, a newer model was released. The ES-3300 has been designed not only for soft contents restoration, but also can be used for fire gear cleaning and in athletic markets as well. The system meets all certification requirements established by the Certified Contents Restoration Network (CCRN) and can handle as much as 600 pounds of wet contents or 150 pounds of dry contents.
industry professionals to restore items such as leather shoes and purses, luggage, and stuffed goods (including seat cushions and toys), along with sports equipment in many instances.
There is a growing trend in the restoration world for P&C insurers wanting to work with full-service restoration companies to provide a one-stop solution to meet their policyholders' needs. This trend is supported by a recent J.D. Power and Associates insurance industry survey that indicated that customer satisfaction decreases significantly when the policyholder has more than two points of contact in virtually any given claim settlement scenario. By swiftly adopting this technology, progressive restoration contractors not only better serve the insurance companies that enlist their expertise with professional, consistent textile cleaning results, but also expedite the return to normalcy for policyholders.
processing by an actual dry cleaner.
It is important that soft contents restoration pricing is consistent across the board. CCRN members use a variety of industry-standard pricing strategies ( including the Xactimate pricing software) to ensure that industry guidelines are met at reasonable prices and that the soft contents cleaning expenses are itemized and broken out from the rest of the restoration claim.
The results of thousands of claims processed over the past few years show that CCRN members are capable of restoring an average of 85 percent of the soft contents and laundry that would otherwise be considered non-restorable by traditional restoration dry cleaning methodology. This statistic represents a triumph in soft contents restoration. Utilization of this advanced technology demonstrates to insurers that treating soft contents after a loss can be a viable and cost-efficient option to total replacement.
Tracy Bachtell, CPCU, is the senior vice president of business development for Paul Davis Restoration. He also has extensive experience working in dry cleaning. He may be reached at tbachtell@pauldavis.com.

Lido (Peder Losnegård) is a Norwegian producer, songwriter, and performer.
Known for his unique interpretations of a variety of electronic styles, Lido's productions and remixes have become in-demand for pop musicians across the industry, including Chance the Rapper, Banks, and Halsey. Lido rose to internet stardom with a string of unofficial remixes, including 'Billboard' by S-Type, 'Ain't No Sunshine' by soul legend Bill Withers, and, controversially, 'Latch' by Disclosure, which was forcibly taken down after 24 hours and has since existed as an "urban legend" of sorts online. His remixes and originals are played in DJ sets by the likes of Skrillex, Ryan Hemsworth, and Diplo.

In a bigger bowl mix the dry ingredients together and set aside. In a smaller bowl, mash up the banana, and add the remaining wet ingredients and mix together. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk together. Cook mixture like you would cook regular pancakes, and use non-stick cooking spray instead of butter. This recipe makes 3 pancakes.
You can play around with the recipe and add blueberries,or strawberries along with, or instead of, the banana. Remember that the protein powder you use can change the flavor of the pancakes. I like to use a protein powder low in carbs, sugars, calories and with less ingredients.

'Industry' and the State (Twitter Files 11 & 12)
Yves here. There's been drinking-from-a-firehose level revelations from the Twitter files. Tom Neuburger goes though the latest batches, focusing on the most disturbing examples of Twitter subservience to censorship demands. These documents also show how troublingly cozy Twitter was with the CIA and FBI.
By Thomas Neuburger. Originally published at God's Spies
Note from San Francisco FBI ASAC Elvis Chan to Yoel Roth, Twitter's then-head of Trust and Safety
"When the government watches you twenty-four hours a day, you cannot use the word 'liberty.' That is the relationship between a master and a slave."
—Chris Hedges, "America's Theater of the Absurd"
Two more Twitter Files have dropped, both by Matt Taibbi. They should be considered together, as a set.
In addition to my summary, this piece contains links to the releases, brief descriptions, and two supplementary interviews Taibbi has given explaining them. These interviews add new information, so I suggest listening if this interests you.
'Industry' and the State: Partners in Crime
If you read these files through, and I hope you do, pay attention to how often the word "partner" is used.
The FBI refers to its "industry partners" in their communication to Twitter — meaning, I believe, social media companies in general. And Twitter executives frequently refer to "our partners at the FBI."
So where does the state end and "industry" begin? I'm not sure I can tell you. I can tell you that a surveillance state is not a friendly operation. Consider the Chris Hedges quote at the top. To be constantly watched is to be constantly controlled. We've seen the watching, been watching it for years. Now we see one of the mechanisms of control.
There is, in fact, a word for when a government entangles itself with the activities of corporations. Consider Benito Mussolini in 1935, Fascism: Doctrine and Institutions, Rome: 'Ardita' Publishers (quoted here; emphasis mine):
The corporate State considers that private enterprise in the sphere of production is the most effective and usefu[l] instrument in the interest of the nation. In view of the fact that private organisation of production is a function of national concern, the organiser of the enterprise is responsible to the State for the direction given to production.
State intervention in economic production arises only when private initiative is lacking or insufficient, or when the political interests of the State are involved. This intervention may take the form of control, assistance or direct management. (pp. 135-136)
Corporate "production" in the modern world includes digital and online products.
Links to Twitter Files 11 & 12
To jump immediately to these files, click the links below. Discussions of previously released Twitter Files can be found here, here and here.
• Twitter Files 11 — How Twitter Let the Intelligence Community In
Matt Taibbi, January 3, 2023
A differently titled version is also published at Taibbi's Substack site.
30. "REPORTERS NOW KNOW THIS IS A MODEL THAT WORKS"
This cycle – threatened legislation, wedded to scare headlines pushed by congressional/intel sources, followed by Twitter caving to moderation asks – would later be formalized in partnerships with federal law enforcement.
• Twitter Files 12 — Twitter and the FBI 'Belly Button'
A version is also published at Taibbi's Substack site.
23. "BELLY BUTTON"
"We can give you everything we're seeing from the FBI and USIC agencies," Chan explained, but the DHS agency CISA "will know what's going on in each state." He went on to ask if industry could "rely on the FBI to be the belly button of the USG [U.S. government].
Links to Earlier Twitter Files
Links to all Twitter files can be found in the articles listed in the pulldown tab at the top of the God's Spies main page:
There's also a simple summary file here.
Twitter Files 11
Twitter Files 11 was titled "How Twitter Let the Intelligence Community In" when published on Twitter, and "Why Twitter Let the Intelligence Community In" when republished in essay form on Taibbi's Substack site.
As Taibbi summarizes it, this set recaps "a furious fall of 2017 for Twitter, which began with threats of legislation and ended with the company surrendering control over content moderation."
What's notable is how the elements of the Democratic Party ecosystem seems to coordinate and amplify the attack by Sen. Warner (D-VA), who, as one Twitter executive writes, is "taking cues from Hillary Clinton."
For example, here's Politico:
https://t.co/Oh55WOIcIr the weeks after Warner's presser, a torrent of stories sourced to the Intel Committee poured into the news, an example being Politico's October 13, "Twitter deleted data potentially crucial to Russia probes." pic.twitter.com/ZQLod4BRjl
— Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) January 3, 2023
And here's a supposedly academic think tank at Johns Hopkins:
20."Were Twitter a contractor for the FSB… they could not have built a more effective disinformation platform," Johns Hopkins Professor (and Intel Committee "expert") Thomas Rid told Politico. pic.twitter.com/J5Q3WYY3YI
To all of which pressure, Twitter caved:
Matt Taibbi @mtaibbi
24.Twitter "pledged to work with them on their desire to legislate":
The above, to my eye, is damning. It represents complete surrender to the security state.
Twitter Files 12, "Twitter and the FBI 'Belly Button'", picks up exactly whereTF 11 leaves off:
https://t.co/C7kGNwToWZ 2020, Twitter was struggling with the problem of public and private agencies bypassing them and going straight to the media with lists of suspect accounts.
https://t.co/BcFhHCvjAE February, 2020, as COVID broke out, the Global Engagement Center – a fledgling analytic/intelligence arms of the State Department – went to the media with a report called, "Russian Disinformation Apparatus Taking Advantage of Coronavirus Concerns." pic.twitter.com/KjUeE8vejt
The Global Engagement Center, as Taibbi says in his interviews (see below), is a Hillary Clinton-era creation within the State Department to give them their own presence in the foreign intelligence arena:
4. The GEC flagged accounts as "Russian personas and proxies" based on criteria like, "Describing the Coronavirus as an engineered bioweapon," blaming "research conducted at the Wuhan institute," and "attributing the appearance of the virus to the CIA." [link to image in full tweet]
There's also a reference to "Blaming Bill Gates" in the lists of sins that the GEC thinks should get a Twitter user banned. Is there any question the government is a domestic propaganda operation at this point? The floodgates to capricious "moderation" have been opened wide.
The highlighted comment in this document from Yoel Roth is telling. Note that the attack he's responding to comes from another academic think tank, this time at Clemson.
Asking if there's any information they could provide to "help us make those links" seems uncomfortably close to looking for non-existent votes in Georgia, but maybe that's just me.
One further note about the State Department's GEC — at this point in its life, it's being led by the Trump administration.
By October, the number of requests from all over the place — "Treasury, the NSA, virtually every state, the HHS, from the FBI and DHS" — was overwhelming. The value of the requests ranged from help with help with what were described as foreign ransomware actors, to requests to ban a journalist at the request of Adam Schiff, Democratic Chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Note that the Committee wanted to ban searches related to its staff members as well.
27.They also received an astonishing variety of requests from officials asking for individuals they didn't like to be banned. Here, the office for Democrat and House Intel Committee chief Adam Schiff asks Twitter to ban journalist Paul Sperry: pic.twitter.com/SXI1ekqi13
Though Twitter declined these requests, it honored almost all of the others.
The rest of the thread details the overwhelming amount of work that Twitter was asked to do, and from every direction. It's a stunning (and not difficult) read. A "master-canine" relationship indeed.
One of these creatures is Twitter and one is the U.S. Government
Taibbi ends by noting that even though Twitter was paid almost $3.5 million for what was essentially contract labor, "they were underpaid."
Supplemental — Interviews Discussing Twitter Files 11 & 12
Taibbi has been making the rounds since these two releases. Here he discusses TF 11 and TF 12 with Ryan Grim, Washington bureau chief at the Intercept, and Emily Jashinsky, co-hosts of Counterpoints.
Note Grim's questions. Also note that Taibbi says more here than he wrote in the Files themselves.
The Lee Fang story that Grim refers to is here.
And here's a recent interview with Taibbi on Richard Eskow's Zero Hourprogram. Again, good questions and answer that go beyond what's said in the Files themselves.

The Pope High School Band has a long and pride-filled tradition built under the leadership of our current director, Mr. Gary Gribble, and his talented associate directors over these past 20+ years. Traditions and history that were created by the accomplishments of alumni too numerous to count. Challenges to be met and dreams to be filled by the paths and adventures taken of our current members and the unwritten stories, of travels taken and awards won, yet to be told by our future band members.
It's here that we have made home for the news about and for our current seniors, alumni and middle school members. Click the links below to be taken to any of these home pages.
As always, we encourage everyone to come out and cheer us on. Check the 'Band Calendar' and 'Big Dates Listings' for upcoming events to attend.


Eastern Passage is a community unto itself; separated by approximately 5km from the rest of residential Dartmouth. Home to approximately 18,000 people, the community is expanding, building new homes and a new high school.
The Passage has a recently evolving demographic. Originally the area was primarily blue collar workers employed by the fishing industry, oil refineries, Shearwater airbase, and an auto import/export facility. Now the community is changing into a bedroom community with a diversity of new people. The building of the new, local high school will also encourage continued growth in this area.
Explore Church is the fruition of LifeBridge Community Church's vision to see multiple churches developed in the Dartmouth area, working together for greater kingdom impact. Our belief is that Christ should be evident in and through our lives as we engage in the community around us, attracting people to him. Jesus deeply loves our neighbourhood, so do we!
As a missional church, we exist to encourage people to explore a relationship with Jesus Christ. We embrace celebratory worship, strategic and intentional discipleship (through our four-year Next Steps discipleship series) and personal, missional engagement through our Explore Groups. Until public services begin, these Explore Groups will be our main source of inviting the curious into our community.
At Explore Church, we're all about exploring Jesus, the Christ – who he is and how he can radically make a difference in our life. We understand people struggle with doubts and questions and that's why we're here. We want to help people grow in their understanding and relationship with God, so they can be restored to everything he created them to be and do.
2) Explore Groups If you really want to grow in your understanding, this is the best place to start. This is a safe place to ask questions and share opinions. Good food and good discussion with people on the same journey, what more could you ask?
We currently meet on Monday nights from 6:15-8:30pm. If you would like to know more about this, contact us and we would love to fill you in on the details. The more the merrier!
3) or simply a chat over coffee. Sometimes it's easier to connect one on one to to share your story or ask questions. Contact Rob or Russell to learn more about this new church venture or any questions about God/Life. We enjoy engaging with people and would love to hear your story.
We hope you'll come and explore Jesus with us.
If one word were used to describe our family, I think it would be adventurous.
We all love adventure, whether it be crawling through caves, scaling waterfalls, hiking scenic look-offs or church planting – we love experiencing God's creation and stepping out in faith in whatever he calls us to do. Rob has an entrepreneurial spirit and enjoys seeing new kingdom ministries developed and developing young leaders. Julie is a part-time music school teacher and loves both worship ministry and children's ministries. Brett is off at Kingswood university preparing for some future ministry calling. Lindsay is serving with YWAM somewhere in south-east Asia!
The Wyses love connecting with people, whether that's through hosting suppers or simply connecting with people one on one, speaking encouragement into their lives.
Entrepreneurship, helping youth and communities have been Russell's passion since a little boy. Often he did this utilizing his video production and photography skills. Now he brings that same adventure to Explore Church, wanting to see God do great things. Melissa loves children. She currently home-schools their four children (Chloe, Isaiah, Skye and Kaylee). Melissa is also passionate about encouraging women and does so through retreats, home gatherings or even games nights (watch out- she's competitive!!). They both have a passion for God and look forward to helping others grow in their faith.
Explore Church is born out of the vision of LifeBridge Community Church in Cole Harbour, to see multiple churches started around the the Halifax area. The idea is that we will raise up and equip average people who will take on a pastoral role, and start a church with them. Though each church is independent, we still team together with LifeBridge and the other church plants for global missions, church training events, praise nights, future visioning and strategy, and weekly staff training and encouragement.
Explore Church, along with LifeBridge, belongs to a larger family of churches known as the Baptist General Conference of Canada. The BGC extends from Nova Scotia to British Columbia, but is primarily rooted in the west. We are just now starting to see churches developed here in the Maritimes.
The C2C network is a relatively young movement that was birthed in the Mennonite Brethren denomination in British Columbia and was first known as "Church Planting BC". C2C has since grown to be a cross-denominational, national network that serves nearly 30 evangelical denominations, networks, and mission agencies; we partner together to plant Gospel-Centered, Spirit-Led, Mission-Focused churches. Recognizing that no single denomination will be able to reach Canada alone, we believe we are stronger when we work together, therefore the C2C network is unapologetically interdenominational.

Greetings, Bolder Sisters. Last week I discussed the first post breakup–being honest about your emotions. Shock, pain, and anger are the first stages of any form of grief but we often stay so angry that we don't allow ourselves to deal with the pain because it hurts too much. This week I want to talk about Denial and also why it's important to keep our distance from the ex.
Let's face it, when we experience a breakup, we usually go through a bargaining phase. If we felt that the relationship was inherently a good one—and therefore worth saving—we'll try to figure out how to keep it. We'll ask "Was it the stupid argument we had?", "Maybe we can talk this over and make it work? or "He's confused, let's just give each other some space." This is really what I call bargaining because you're looking for a way to negotiate and reverse the outcome.
I knew something was different about my fiancé when he returned from his spiritual trip with a group of pastors and other leaders. I'd expected a change but not the sudden void that was between us. A few days later I began to ask pointed questions regarding a specific "friend" of his whom also went on this trip. I asked if he still wanted to get married and when he said he didn't know, I took off my ring. In the meantime, I tried to find out what was going on and if we could salvage the relationship. This went on for about a month before reality set in… it was over and he wanted to be with her—he just didn't want to say it.
Communication is critical in a relationship but when things unravel, being in denial about it is not healthy. We tried to 'be friends' during this breakup—which under normal circumstances was still too soon. During the "friendly phase", and still hurt and angry, I was still trying to figure out how to reverse it. I was holding on because I felt that I deserved a better explanation in an otherwise unacceptable situation. As you can see, I was pretty much all over the place. It's always best to be brave and not bury yourself in denial. It just adds one more ingredient to a volatile soup of despair.
Nothing prolongs pain more than a lingering ex! When we allow them to linger around, it can cause depression and that is exactly what happened. Being engaged, we cohabitated as we made plans for the wedding. Since he'd given up his apartment and moved into my home, there was a horrible transition period where we were still under the same roof. I found myself beginning to hate him. Then, my anger internalized and I was angry with myself for not simply kicking him out! I really was trying to be the better person but I didn't like who I was becoming so… after about a month I finally asked him to leave. Our paths crossed at work so I had to find ways to avoid him. He still called me or tried to find ways to bump into me at work—determined to continue a friendship. There was no getting around running into him at first. I was also dealing with another devastating family issue so this just compounded my pain and anger and a bout with depression was inevitable.
Post breakup loneliness is strong because you are so used to talking to this person, hanging out with them, and sharing all aspects of your life together. This is the period you should spend as much time with loved ones as possible. Don't allow yourself to be alone during this period if you can help it. Sometimes we get so lonely that we are tempted to reach out to—you guessed it—the ex!
If you're not feeling better, find a friend, family member, or professional to talk to. I had to do all of the above plus I was fortunate that I had loved ones who knew everything that I'd been dealing with in addition to the breakup. I tend to talk myself into believing that none wanted to still hear about my turmoil so I would not talk about it. They stepped in to help me through this phase. Once I came clean about how bad I was still feeling, they assured me that it was okay to still not be okay. It was then that I began to process of recovery.
Bolder Sisters, how were you able to combat denial and conquer loneliness during a breakup?
Kim resides in Chicago, Illinois and has one son, Donald. In addition to writing, she spends free time creating unique wall art, decorating, and teaching herself how to sculpture.
Kim, I am feeling the pain you were going thru at that time..cause it's so familiar! You are correct, surrounding yourself with friends, true friends who are with you every step of the way during that time, is one of the best remedies for a broken heart. When you are in denial, feeling like you need to call him..its your girlfriends who reel you back in!

Can Manchester United keep it 'clean' in GW10?
We're banking on a Manchester United clean sheet in Gameweek 10 with Burnley the visitors to Old Trafford. The Clarets have the lowest goal expectancy of all the participating sides this weekend, so we have decided to use our free FPL transfer on Antonio Valencia.
Charlie Daniels is the man to make way. The Bournemouth defender does have an eye for goal but he now appears to have slipped down the penalty-taking pecking order, following the return to fitness of Callum Wilson and the impressive form of Junior Stanislas.
Daley Blind might line-up in the centre of defence this week, with Eric Bailly out injured, so if United can secure that shut-out we'll have a firm base to work from.
Warlord's Etienne Capoue has failed to build on his bright start to the season but he gets a stay of execution, with a struggling Hull City side potentially there for the taking.
Romelu Lukaku gets the 'armband'.

Well now....there seems to be a lot happening this week. The end of September and beginning of October will be happening.
Not to mention the big season finale of Red vs Blue along with a special live stream @Miles and the gang are putting together prior to this big finish.
Of course there is also the next new RWBY episode so we can find out: What happens to Team RWBY when they tag along with Professor Oobleck ^^
.....and to top it all off: I have finally completed my new prologue story for my next character. I will be posting it up shortly after I include this entry. I hope you guys enjoy it!
Exhausted.....yet excited!
Well....this has been a long time coming. Hears a bit of hype from me:
Stay tuned for the news
Prologue: Ranos Kasai (The Wanderer)
in Forums > Prologue: Ranos Kasai (The Wanderer) | Follow this topic
The Story of Ranos Kasai (the Wanderer)
(This is a quick note to make. All content regarding the anime RWBY is the sole right of Rooster Teeth and its creator, Monty Oum. Most of what will be told in this story is based on theory related to the anime that may or may not have been stated clearly in the long going story, but a close interpretation of the story aspect of the anime itself. I hope you will enjoy the story of this man and the road he travelled in the world known as Remnant.)
This song best describes the story of Ranos Kasai and makes an appropriate theme song for him:
Still Undefeated by Daughtry: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMTLI-5Aocs
Art Work of Ranos and his weapon (Apologizes if the art work was not the best, but it was the best that I can make and I am proud of what I have made):
Although humanity has founded kingdoms in the world of Remnant, there are those who have had to live outside the walls of the four kingdoms located in all corners of the world. One of these few people, who fit this description in particular, is a man by the name of Ranos. When Ranos was born, his family was living out in a secluded region in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately, since they lived in seclusion, Ranos and his family had to deal with many creatures of grim that wonder close to their home regularly as time passes. How they managed to live for as long as they did is because of his father, who was a huntsman that wielded an ax, forged by the strongest of flames. There was also a rumor that Ranos' father had fought in the last war, which was proven evident since the ax his father carried has shown signs of cracks, breaks, and even the blood of his enemies that still remained. The ax was little more than a relic at this point, but it still held together when his father had to protect his family. The mother, on the other hand, was another story. She was a kind, gentle soul who took care of Ranos as a child. Even in the face of danger, his mother always held a smile and gave Ranos a confident look saying everything will be alright. However, Ranos had suspected there was something about his mother that seemed different when he looks up to his father, but at a young age he never quite understood why he suspected anything. The family lived their lives for the past eleven years together despite the many confrontations with the creatures of grim, ranging from small ones like the Boarbatusk to some of the more ferocious creatures like the Ursa and Death Stalker.
However, even a single individual will end up facing a tragedy at one point in their life that would shape him/her into the person they will become in the future. Unfortunately for Ranos, that day came when a Nevermore, Death stalker, and King Taijitu attacked the family. Ranos' father held them off and manages to slew the Death Stalker, but sadly was bitten by the King Taijitu as he body begins to falter from exhaustion and his aura was too weak to protect him from the piercing strike of the serpents' fangs. Even the very ax he fought with eventually shattered during the confrontation and he fell to the King Taijitu. Ranos just looked in horror as he bore witness to his father killed in battle, especially since he looked up to him as he was growing up. As he continues to space out from the witness of his father's untimely death, Ranos' mother grabbed his hand and they tried to run away from the King Taijitu and Nevermore that were chasing them next. Unfortunately, as the two tried to escape, the Nevermore launched a barrage of feathers at Ranos and his mother, one of the feathers pinned his mother and she could not get away as the feather manages to pierce her leg. Ranos tried all he could to help free her, but his mother told him to run away and don't look back. What made this even more upsetting for Ranos was that she smiled at him instead of showing signs of fear. After a futile attempt to free his mother, Ranos did as his mother told him and ran as far away as he could. It was not long until the Nevermore and King Taijitu approached the wounded mother and ended her life. Ranos could hear the sound of his mother brutal death and he just collapsed to ground with tears in his eyes as he was on his knees. Alone and out in the unknown wilderness of Remnant, Ranos was not certain what he will do or what he will face as he travels alone, leaving behind everything he had ever known.
Huge Relief.
I just got word from my mother that my father is going to be alright. The doctors examined him and it turns out that his condition earlier was merely a pancreas problem. The doctors mentioned he should be good to return home tomorrow. I am feeling a lot better now hearing this news and knowing that my dad will be alright.
Sad day today. . .
Well so far this day has not gone well for me. To start off it rained heavily here at Houston so I was walking around in it with my umbrella. The winds made it hard for me to keep it together so I nearly got soaked wet. Then my car is almost out of fuel and when i try to go to my usual place to fill up, my card I use ends up being invalid so I had to find someplace else that charged more for unlead.
If those were not bad enough....my father ended up back in the hospital in a little less than a day since his surgery and now I find out that he has to be transferred to another hospital because he might have ended up having an infection at some point during the surgery, which is why he was not feeling well as I was away. At this point I am just terribly upset with the day and now just waiting to hear word from either my mother or my little brother as to what is going to happen now.
I apologizes for dumping this sad news on you all, but sometimes we end up have these days that just can't be bottled up inside for too long.

I was fortunate to have my story "Safety and Well-Being" read by actress Emily Serdahl at Stories on Stage, Davis. The experience was wonderful. Emily did a great job bringing my story to life. The Pence Gallery, where the event was held, was a great venue. In the background you can see a beautiful painting by the artist SHIMO, whose paintings and porcelain surrounded us in the space. i am so grateful to Naomi Williams and all the Stories on Stage staff.
 I said a few words before the reading.
Then Emily read the story. She read the story so naturally I felt like she was channeling the character! I was blown away.
In conjunction with my story being produced by Stories on Stage, Davis, I was interviewed by Dr. Andy Jones on Dr. Andy's Poetry and Technology Hour. KDVS, Davis. I was a little (OK, a lot) nervous, because I've never been on the radio before. Also, I hate the way my voice sounds when I hear a recording of myself talking. But Dr. Andy made it very easy. I called in and he asked me interesting questions about my writing process, my material, and so forth.
If you'd like to listen, the link is here. My part starts at around the 30 minute mark.

We are joyfully moving back to California at the end of the month and are busy preparing, so this is likely to be our last post (unless we see the flicker babies that the mother is caring for). The weather was nice yesterday so we had dinner outside, and we were happy that many of our bird friends came by as if to wish us farewell.
We have started a new blog, California Birds. Right now, it mostly contains photos from our trips to California, but we'll post occasionally once we get settled.
Hi warren. Nice to hear from you! That sounds fun about your friendly cardinal. It's a beautiful bird that we don't get here. We are enjoying our backyard full of birds right now - spring is early and so pleasant here.

Israeli Startup Hopes to Use New Technology to Remove Brain Tumors with Water
An Israeli startup company is developing a surgical robot that would use jets of water to destroy tumors and blood clots in the brain, giving doctors a safer, minimally invasive tool to treat life-threatening brain conditions that currently require major surgery.
Tamar Robotics is among the first to use robotic surgery technology in the brain, The Times of Israel reported.
"In brain surgery there is always the fear of damaging the surrounding healthy tissue, which can result in things like people losing their ability to talk or walk," said the company's founder, Professor Moshe Shoham.
"So surgeons are always weighing whether they should operate or not operate, and it's not easy."
Tamar Robotics has found testing of the technology to be successful in both lab and animal studies, according to the company's website.

Robotic surgery is a growing industry that seeks to create more accurate and less invasive procedures that will reduce patient recovery time.
The global market for surgical robots was valued at $4.4 million in 2020 and is expected to reach about $9.6 billion by 2026, according to market research firm Mordor Intelligence.
Tamar Robotics' technology inserts a needle through a small incision in the head that can be operated on by doctors remotely with the use of imaging software.
"It has sufficient freedom to tackle and treat complex tumor or blood clot shapes in challenging locations within the brain," CEO Noam Hassidov told The Times of Israel.
Are you amazed by how far technology has come?

No: 16% (3 Votes)
"By design, this mechanism is extremely precise."
Surgeons also can create a "fly zone" and "no-fly zone" for the needle where it will destroy blood clots or tumor cells but leave healthy brain tissue alone.
Doctors would be able to use an integrated ultrasound to guide the needle in real time, which would allow them to see how the brain moves during surgery around the areas that are removed.
"This way, the physician can look all around and can see right away if something moves in the brain," Hassidov said.
"We can know exactly where the target mass is at all times."

One of the main obstacles to the technology is the need to develop better imaging technology to help doctors guide the robotic equipment.
But, Shoham said: "We believe that our robotic system can do this better than a surgeon's free hand.
"We hope we will be able to let the people suffering from these conditions get back to their lives."

another wild lefty but acoustic bass guitar.
Last edited by woodgood on Sat Jul 28, 2018 1:19 pm, edited 7 times in total.
7 nylon strings, cocobolo with cedar top, maple bindings, ebony fretboard.
Quilted mahogany, Sitka spruce top, maple bindings, ebony fretboard and bridge.
Resonator all made from the same Ash log harvested from the top of the mountain that John Henry died tunneling under. There were a couple of small holes left by the borers that killed the tree, and I left them in honor of John Henry. The walnut fingerboard and head plate were in my shop for at least 25 years. It's a National body shape and head shape. The soundhole grills are help on with magnets to allow access to the bolt on neck joint and the truss rod.
Acoustic Grandfather Clock Bass Guitar Left Handed. The headstock is a flame.
HERE IT IS ANOTHER SHODDY ACOUSTIC LEFT HANDED BASS! 33 positions and take that! NO GLUE! ALL SCREWED TOGETHER! Features a four layer body alternating between pine and plywood painted black. A 4/4 oak neck. A beautiful pine knot by the bottom horn. A headstock featuring a man wearing a top hat on fire. Open gear Wilkinson tuners. Fender acoustic bass strings and oversized strap buttons with a the original screws replaced with bigger screws! No frets! Has side numbers instead of side dots! WOo!
The above post is the previous one. And I put a sound hole in it. I'm not sure if it did anything though! 40 frets or positions after adding a piece of wood to the body it was 33 positions before. It really gives out a reverb sound on the 30 through 40 positions! Sounds like a piano on the high register but bass of course. Other than that is it a little quieter because the body is not as big, but Very easy to play!

So today is my birthday! I am 54 years old and I've been reflecting lately on how quickly time flies by! It's definitely more on my mind this year with the fact that this past October 5th was our 10 year anniversary! It's been an incredible 10 years!
This is what I've been thinking! We started the school when both my husband and I were 44 years old! Kaitlyn, our daughter, was 19 and Christopher our son, was 14! Now Kaitlyn is married, we have a granddaughter (who is amazing), Kaitlyn is working on her career and helping at the school and Christopher is 24 - out of college and working a great job and also helping at the school! His girlfriend Megann works at the school with us now and has been an incredible help to me! Kaitlyn's husband Ryan also helps a little with the school. The school is truly a family business!
As I think about the past ten years, part of me feels that it has been all work to get where we are today but I also don't feel like it's been ten years, if you know what I mean!
In these years, we have met and made so many new friends and who, we know, are just really amazing people! We have some students who started when they were 4-5 years old and are still training with us today. We have some that started when they were 7 or 8 and have recently left for College. We truly feel blessed to have met and worked with these different students! We're honestly excited to continue to grow and meet new students and families!

Mountain of Faith Ministries founder, director dies
Published 6:14 pm Friday, July 28, 2017
By Tim Reeves
Mountain of Faith Ministries founder and director Tina Hayward died Friday at the VA Hospital in Jackson. (file photo)
"Life is crazy," Tina Hayward, director and founder of Vicksburg's Mountain of Faith Ministries, said in an interview with The Post in February. "It's like it's always moving. You have to have tough love and a heart, too."
Former Vicksburg alderwoman Gertrude Young described Hayward, her sister-in-law, as having a "heart for giving."
Sadly, it was that heart that failed Friday morning, as Hayward died of a heart attack at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Jackson. She was 60 years old.
Young said Hayward meeting with doctors at the hospital about elevated blood sugar level. Young said Hayward had battled diabetes.
Funeral arrangements have not been decided, but Young said Jefferson Funeral Home would be in charge of the services.
Hayward leaves behind a son, two daughters, two sisters, a brother and seven grandchildren.
"She was a fighter for those who could not fight for themselves," Young said. "It was such a shock."
Hayward, an Army veteran, founded Mountain of Faith Ministries in 2000. She founded the Women's Restoration Shelter in 2005 and served as its director.
In a biography about Hayward on the Mountain of Faith Ministries website, it says her "passion at the shelter is to provide emergency help to women and women with children in their time of homelessness."
The news of Hayward's death shook many in the service and charity communities throughout Warren County.
"Tina Hayward is one of the most amazing women I have ever encountered," Michele Connelly, executive director of the United Way of West Central Mississippi, said. "After serving our country, she made the decision to make a true difference in the lives of the unforgettable — the homeless. She was a true advocate for those who do not have a voice. It was an honor to know her and serve our community beside her."
In 2010, Hayward decided to renovate and then open a transitional shelter on Walnut Street where her office was located and where women could stay up to 24 months versus 90 days in the emergency shelter further from downtown.
"When they get a job, they can come over here," she said of the transitional shelter, "to teach them life skills. Everyone who's out there homeless doesn't necessarily want to be, (but) you can't just put a person in a shelter."
The skills the transitional shelter teaches include computer proficiency, Bible class and financial literacy. Hayward said the shelter has a 90 percent success rate finding jobs for women in its care.
"She truly made a difference in my life and the lives of so many others," Connelley said.
Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace was heartbroken after learning of Hayward's death and said she was there to help at any moment, any hour.
"She was one of the kindest, most generous people I have ever known," Pace said. "I have called her for years, at all hours of day and night when we would come in contact with women young and old who were in dire straights and in a need for a place to stay or just someone to sit and talk to.
"This community will certainly miss her and I will miss her both professionally and personally."
The leadership of Mountain of Faith Ministries, led by Hayward, had worked together to build the charity to what it had become, serving the numbers they did.
Mountain of Faith Ministries' board president Artelia Williams said they were hurting Friday, but the mission remains.
"I look back to how hard and how dedicated she was to this mission of ensuring homeless people have a shelter and she worked unrelenting, almost 24 hours a day," Williams said. "She was a beautiful, committed person. She loved the Lord, she loved her family and she loved Mountain of Faith."
As hard it was to do so Friday, Williams said the board had already started to look at what is next for Mountain of Faith.
"Today we agreed that we would get together early next week. As a board, Tina made sure that we were all well trained to assume greater responsibility," Williams said. "Her shoes are going to be big to fill, but we are committed.
"All of us have been there with Tina. She was a wonderful woman to have worked with."

20 Most Fun Cities in America
By 100.7 BOB FM
Planning a Vacation? Check into heading to these cities
Wallethub took a look at American cities to find the best places to find fun. They compared more than 180 U.S. cities across 65 key metrics, ranging from fitness clubs per capita to movie costs to average open hours of breweries. For instance, New York has the most restaurants (per square root of the population), 7.5828, which is 31.5 times more than in Peoria, Arizona, the city with the fewest at 0.2410.
New York also has the most bars (per square root of the population), 1.5580, which is 71.5 times more than in West Valley City, Utah, the city with the fewest at 0.0218.
And because some of us like more wholesome fun, New York has the most playgrounds (per square root of the population), 0.6645, which is 19 times more than in Hialeah, Florida, the city with the fewest at 0.0350.
Salt Lake City came in at 23, while West Valley City came in at 143.
