This article is follow up to ECU remap guide for beginner – How to not destroy your car. There is no such thing as free lunches – manufacturers employe the brightest people on planet, posses the best tools money can buy. Why do you think you can do it better?
My research/experiments are based on performance driving on the edge and you have to offset for your driving style. If you want to just overtake hard once per year, you don't need to worry too much. If you do track days, you need to worry a lot !!!
turbocharging is designed for low to medium engine speeds – pushing your turbo hard at low and high engine speeds is the best way to destroy your turbocharger !
Just because you bought/built racing car, it doesn't mean you are a racing driver.
my clutch is designed for 400Nm and factory calibration limits torque down to 320Nm – if pushed hard, clutch slips and burns just with factory tune…once, again…how many drives at full load…very few because engine is really at full load only few seconds during hard acceleration.
injectors capacity and duty cycle (how long injector is opened) is already maxed. My injectors are calibrated for max. 60mg/cycle and can do theoretically 70mg/cycle but I have never seen it in reality – don't be confused about injection duration maps, it is just an estimate !!!
WHATEVER YOU CHANGE ONLY REDUCE EFFICIENCY, DURABILITY AND INTRODUCE HIGH MAINTENANCE COSTS, HEAT and so on.
everything relates to everything else – it is always at least three dimensional compromise/relationship.
If you live in mountains you know that feeling of oxygen deprived engine. In mountains you will see either noticeable power reduction or your turbo blows up if you have played with boost limiter and followed usual +10% increase preached by eExperts.
cars up to 2008 were over-designed due primitive CAD/CAM systems and there was lots of room for errors – many cars shared same turbo and injectors such as PD130 and PD150 legend.
time of over-designed cars is gone – I can now design, simulate and manufacture car with precise point of doom. There is usually 10% margin for improvements. Modern cars are pushed to the limits – after all, manufacturers need to sell cars not to last them forever! You will be lucky your brand new car lasts 300,000km.
old wives stories preach about "reduced fuel consumption myth" – I want to see one person who pays for chiptuning and keeps driving as before. My fuel economy is same, as long as brick under accelerator stays here.
How does this apply to economical tunes? I have a Toyota 1GR-fé 4.0 v6 with 300k.doesnt drink any oil. Very well maintained. Gets 26 mpg. Ov tuning makes a tune for my truck. 17hp-25 hp and 20-30 lbs of torque. What I like most is the transmission shift points calibration. Is this tune potentially good for not decreasing longevity of the engine?


June 1, 2018, Taipei - With variety of product lines and popular new T-FORCE RGB products among global gamers, TEAMGROUP, the world's leading memory brand will be exhibiting at Computex Taipei during June 5th – June 9th, 2018. Located at the VIP showroom of Grand Hyatt hotel, TEAMGROUP will not only be displaying new products to the world to show innovative capability in R&D but also will be displaying T-FORCE gaming memory modules, which received both 2018 German iF International Design Award and the 2017 Japan Good Design award.

Nice one Robert, no I hadn't noticed but it still must qualify as the purchase of the year.
Well that must be the purchase of the year when you think how much the SPARC module has changed hands for in recent years, a chess computer you can be proud of.
Hans is correct when he says that some people don't realise how much some of these chess computers change hands for. Within the past fortnight I have managed to buy two fairly rare chess computers here in the UK. The first was a Chess King "Triomphe" then amazingly yesterday I managed to buy another Chess King this time the "Counter Gambit" both for £25 each.
Congrats on ure cheap buy for the SPARC!
CXG Commander (rare) for 70 euro,as new!
The Sparc i bought for the normal price 1200 euro,ore dutch gulden i do not remmember,but that one was a Must have or me.
Good suggestion. Just one refinement: to guarantee reliable sweeping one-handed captures, Saitek placed the magnets in the black pieces with the opposite polarity to the white pieces. Hence if white were North-South, black would be South-North.
The fields cancel out momentarily as the pieces move; otherwise, the fields add up, and you have to stepwise remove one, then place the capturing piece. A neat invention that Saitek patented.
Worth the time and trouble to get that final refinement as the designers set it up for you?
try k&jmagnetics .com acd select disc magnets. the 3/8 x 1/16 type N42 will work very well. make sure when you recess them to have them just about level with the piece surface, before reglueing new felt. by the way Elmers white glue is great for holding magnets and new felts. I have done over 20 sets with no problems. any questions, ask away.
Buy a wooden set of your choice (9,5-10cm king heigth) at your local chess store, take strong neodym magnets with 1mm and put them on the felted bottom with some glue. Of course you have to cut a little hole in the bottom for the magnet.
Thank you! I will check these links.
The user guide is available in German, french and English by Alain Zanchetta' site.
If I remember well, the king height is around 10 cm for a München and 8,5 for an exclusive.
Oh, one more thing: if somebody owns the user manual for the board and the Sparc module (in electronic format, .pdf, or something similar), please share with me -- I would be very grateful for it.

For many organizations, the beginning of their revolutions are messy and disorganized. Too often leaders think linearly at solving problems and setting goals, not seeing the diversity in variables at play. For example, educational leaders, when trying to mitigate disparities in achievement for certain groups, seek to change the teacher-student relationship. This thinking only fuels the continuation of the challenges they face as there are more forces at play. Our "Crafting Solutions: The Systems Thinking Approach" professional development works with organizational leaders in seeing the multitude of influences that facilitate problems as well as solutions, thus having a greater impact on their organizational success.


Lucidpress is a great tool for collaboratively creating multimedia documents. In the past I have described it as offering the best of Apple's Pages combined with the best of Google Documents. Through Lucidpress you and your students can collaboratively create documents that incorporate videos and images.
This morning I received an email from Lucidpress announcing some new features that students and teachers will like. First, you can now import videos from Vimeo to use in your documents. Previously, Lucidpress only supported YouTube videos. Second, there are new font style and size options available to use. Finally, you can now allow viewers of your documents to download them as PDFs.
The process of creating a document on Lucidpress can be as simple or as complicated as you want to make it. To get started you might stick with the basics of moving text and pictures around on the poster by just dragging and dropping. There are options for layering images with differing amounts of transparency, image cropping tools, and font customization options in each Lucidpress template. As mentioned above, you can also add videos into your projects (obviously they only play when viewed online).
You can use your Google Account to sign into Lucidpress and you can use items stored in your Google Drive account in your Lucidpress documents. Lucidpress has commenting and sharing features that are similar to Google Drive too.
Lucidpress is free for teachers and students (scroll to the bottom of the pricing page for information about access as an educator). Lucidpress could be an excellent tool for students to use to collaborate on creating flyers for school events, to create a collage showcasing a highlights of research, or to design a cover for an ebook.

BACK TO BUSINESS: Bush Order Provisions expanding from farmers market booth to brick-and-mortar store
by Natalie Pressman October 5, 2020 October 6, 2020
Bush Order Provisions Ltd. will soon be the new bakery in town as the co-founding couple closes the deal on a commercial space in Yellowknife's Kam Lake area.
Yellowknifers may know Bush Order Provisions as the farmers market booth selling fresh breads, pizza dough and produce harvested from their market garden. Co-founders Kyle Thomas and Marie-Christine Auger announced Sunday on Facebook that a Bush Order storefront is underway – an upgrade they have been working towards for almost a year.
Marie-Christine Auger and Kyle Thomas, co-founders of Bush Order Provisions, are expanding operations to a commercial facility. Photo courtesy of Kyle Thomas.
Thomas said the goal of the expansion is "shortening food miles and encouraging more food being available locally."
The duo's plan to acquire a commercial property preceded the pandemic, but Thomas said the challenges posed by Covid have "only solidified" the importance of a market garden like Bush Order.
"You never know when our food supply might get cut off," he said. "So we want to grow food and bake really high quality food here in Yellowknife."
In their new facility, Bush Order plans to operate year-round as a bakery and as a vendor for their produce following viable growing seasons.
Though Thomas said they may get creative and make pizzas or other products that use any produce that hasn't sold, Bush Order will remain focused on producing and selling raw vegetables rather than becoming a restaurant.
"We would love to supply restaurants," Thomas said.
As part of this weekend's announcement, Thomas and Auger are also turning to the community to help support them and their growing business. They are hoping to raise $40,000 "to help with some of the unexpected costs."
"We've been working on the finances for 11 months to make sure that we're being realistic," Thomas said. "But there are always little hiccups in the road that we just don't account for."
He points to a property appraisal that they hadn't anticipated and equipment that "isn't quite" what they estimated, as examples of extra costs that "pop up."
Thomas explained that he and Auger are scraping the bottom of the barrel on their personal savings so the fundraising helps to "get off the ground a little smoother," he said.
In return, Thomas and Auger are offering what they are calling Bush Order Perks. Among those perks, Thomas said he intends to open a bid to name his sourdough starters. Since the starters are a living culture of wild yeast and need to be fed to stay alive, it's common to name them, though Thomas said people are often surprised to learn he never has.
Other perks for supporters will include bread baking courses, Bush Order merchandise and pop-up pizza parties.

As of Monday afternoon, only one day after launching, the fundraiser has amassed more than $4,000.
The couple are set to take possession of the new property later this month and hope to have the facility up and running by spring. They are cautious, though, to commit to a timeline as they "have watched so many other startups in Yellowknife have unexpected delays that push them out."
Thomas said that he and Auger want to put in the work to be around for "10, 20, 30 years from now."
"This is a combination of both our passions and we want to make it a career as much as we want to make it about contributing to the community," he said.
Both Thomas and Auger currently have day jobs on top of their entrepreneurial undertaking with Bush Order. Auger works with a not for profit in town and Thomas has his own consulting business in web development.
While Auger's educational background is in horticulture, Thomas began baking bread as a stress reliever after work. It started as "just something (he) could do with his hands," and he became fascinated with the components that impact the product and the processes of fermented breads in particular.
Since their plans for growth have been on paper for so long, Thomas said making the announcement has been "overwhelming" and "anxiety-inducing," though the feedback has been positive.
"For the years that we've been at the farmers market, it has been exceptionally well received, so this was just the next big step," he said.

The European Union Agency for the Operational Management of Large-Scale IT Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (eu-LISA) is an agency of the European Union (EU) that was founded in 2011 to ensure the uninterrupted operation of large-scale IT systems within the area of freedom, security and justice (AFSJ), that are instrumental in the implementation of the asylum, border management and migration policies of the EU. It began its operational activities on 1 December 2012. The current establishing regulation entered into force on 11 December 2018, repealing the previous regulation and expanding the Agency's mandate. The new mandate strengthens the Agency's capacity to improve, design and develop information systems for European security, border management and migration, and broadens the scope of the Agency's work on research, innovation, testing and on the possibility to support the development of pilot projects and proofs of concept.

eu-LISA's headquarters is in Tallinn, Estonia, whilst its operational centre is in Strasbourg, France. In addition, eu-LISA also has a technical backup site in St Johann im Pongau, Austria, and a liaison office in Brussels, Belgium. The current executive director is Krum Garkov, who assumed his role in November 2012.

Management board
The management board composed of EU Member States and the European Commission oversees the agency's activities. Observer status on the board is given to Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein, as well as representatives  of Eurojust, Europol, and Frontex. The Management Board's Chairperson, since June 2018, is the Hungarian representative to the board, Zsolt Szolnoki.

Mandate

eu-LISA and the AFSJ Information Systems
As of 2012, eu-LISA has played a critical role in the operational management of large-scale IT systems and databases vital for the security of the European Union. These include the already existing Eurodac, SIS and VIS systems, as well as systems currently under development, such as ECRIS-TCN, EES and ETIAS. These systems, and the interoperability they provide, promise to change the landscape of the Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) area in Europe. The technologies being developed by eu-LISA will help the move away from the current outdated silo solutions and move towards the new holistic approaches that still fully respect the original objectives and data protection guarantees of the individual systems. eu-LISA works closely with Member States, the European Institutions and other AFSJ Agencies to ensure that the technical and procedural solutions applied optimally cover business requirements while remaining technically feasible. The eu-LISA ensures that the freedom, security, and justice management systems in Europe will be conserved for generations to come.

eu-LISA aims to ensure the interoperability and compliance with data protection standards of all IT system under its management, whilst providing improved and secure access to EU Member State authorities to information stored at EU-level.

eu-LISA is responsible for following AFSJ Information Systems:

Eurodac - the European Dactyloscopy  Database
Eurodac is the European Dactyloscopy Database, managed by eu-LISA, which assists in the processing of European asylum applications. It is a centralised database that collects and handles the digitalised fingerprints of asylum seekers and irregular migrants. It helps determine the Member State responsible for examining an asylum application. National asylum authorities use Eurodac to store new fingerprints and compare existing records on asylum seekers. This aids the detection of multiple asylum applications and thus reduces "asylum shopping". Law enforcement authorities and Europol can also access the system – under strict conditions – to prevent, detect and investigate terrorist and other serious criminal offences.

New legislative proposals foresee extending the scope of Eurodac to allow for the storage of, and the possibility to search by, biometric data of irregular migrants found illegally staying in the EU, thus facilitating returns. Reinforcing Eurodac will ensure the system will continue to be a valuable tool for officers deployed at borders and hotspots.

SIS II - the second generation Schengen Information System
The Schengen Information System (SIS) is a large-scale IT system, managed by eu-LISA, which supports internal security and the exchange of information on persons and objects between national police, border control, customs, visa and judicial authorities. Since the Schengen area has no internal borders, SIS assists national authorities in sharing information with their European counterparts whilst performing border checks, and in the fight against cross-border crime and terrorism, all of which with respect to the latest EU data protection requirements. In 2018, eu-LISA launched the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS), which introduced a biometric search capability in SIS, allowing for the identification of persons of interest solely using fingerprints.

The latest legislation foresees improvements within SIS to better address counter-terrorism and irregular migration. A more extensive use of biometric data and the creation of new categories of alerts, as well as the inclusion of more items in the already existing categories, is also foreseen. Wider access to Europol and access for Frontex hotspot teams is also a part of the legislation.

VIS - the Visa Information System
The Visa Information System (VIS) is a large-scale IT system, managed by eu-LISA, which supports the implementation of the European Union's common visa policy and facilitates border checks and consular cooperation in Europe. The system enables dedicated national authorities to enter and consult data, including biometrics, for short-stay visas for the Schengen Area. The system helps reduce "visa shopping" and irregular migration and contributes to the prevention of threats to the internal security of Member States. VIS provides quicker and clearer procedures for travellers requiring a visa to enter the Schengen Area. The system assists authorities in processing asylum applications and identifying persons who may not, or may no longer, fulfil the conditions to enter or stay in the Schengen area.

The European Commission has proposed changes to legislation that will expand the scope of VIS by adding long stay-visas and residence permits to the system. Said proposals will also allow for more thorough background checks on visa applicants, thus closing security information gaps through better information exchange between Member States.

EES - the Entry/Exit System
The Entry/Exit System (EES) is a new large-scale IT system being developed by eu-LISA that will enable the recording of entry and exit of third country nationals (TCN) to and from the Schengen Area. The system will replace the current practice of manual stamping of passports with electronic registration in a central database of biographic and biometric information, as well as the date and place of entry/exit for visits up to 90 days.

The system aims to modernise and increase automation at border controls, to strengthen internal security and fight terrorism and organised crime. This will help Member States to deal with ever-increasing traveller flows without having to supplement the number of border guards. EES will allow for better monitoring of authorised stays and the identification of possible over-stayers.

ETIAS - the European Travel Information and Authorisation System
The European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) is a new IT system for EU border management being developed by eu-LISA, which will improve the security and safety aspects of travelling to or through the Schengen Area. Once operational, ETIAS will require that all visa-exempt third country nationals planning to travel to the Schengen Area apply for pre-travel authorisation online. Similar to systems already existing in the USA, Canada and Australia, a valid passport, a credit card and minimal personal information will be needed. The information submitted will be automatically processed against existing EU databases (Eurodac, SIS and VIS), future systems EES and ECRIS-TCN, and relevant Interpol databases. This will enable advance verification of potential security, irregular migration and public health risks.

The ETIAS will reduce procedures and bordercrossing times, strengthen border management, reinforce the EU's visa liberalisation policy, help prevent irregular migration and fortify the fight against terrorism and organised crime.

ECRIS-TCN - the European Criminal Records Information System - Third-Country Nationals
The European Criminal Records Information System – Third Country Nationals (ECRIS-TCN), to be developed by euLISA, will be a centralised hit/no-hit system to supplement the existing EU criminal records database (ECRIS) on non-EU nationals convicted in the European Union. Once operational, it will allow Member States to quickly find out in which other Member State(s) information on previous convictions of a non-EU national is stored.

The system will provide judges, prosecutors and other relevant authorities with easy access to comprehensive information on an individual's criminal history, no matter in which Member State that person was convicted in the past. Efficient exchange of criminal records information is instrumental in combating cross-border crime. ECRIS-TCN will contribute to implementing the principle of mutual recognition of sentences and judicial decisions in a common area of justice and security where people move freely, such as the Schengen Area. The ECRIS-TCN System is scheduled to be ready in conjunction with the roll-out of the components required to implement interoperability.

IFLA/UNESCO Manifesto for Digital Libraries
Español | français | Deutsch
Bridging the Digital Divide: making the world's cultural and scientific heritage accessible to all
The digital divide is an information divide
Bridging the digital divide is a key factor in achieving the Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations. Access to information resources and the means of communication supports health and education as much as culturaland economic development.
The dissemination of information enables citizens to participate in life-long learning and education. Information about the world's achievements allows everyone to participate constructively in the development of their own social environment.
Equal access to the cultural and scientific heritage of mankind is every person's right and helps promote learning and understanding of the richness and diversity of the world, not only for the present generation, but also for the generations to come.
Libraries have long been essential agents in fostering peace and human values. Libraries now operate digitally, and their digital services open up a new channel to the universe of knowledge and information, connecting cultures across geographical and social boundaries.
A digital library is an online collection of digital objects, of assured quality, that are created or collected and managed according to internationally accepted principles for collection development and made accessible in a coherent and sustainable manner, supported by services necessary to allow users to retrieve and exploit the resources.
A digital library forms an integral part of the services of a library, applying new technology to provide access to digital collections. Within a digital library collections are created, managed and made accessible in such a way that they are readily and economically available for use by a defined community or set of communities.
A collaborative digital library allows public and research libraries to form a network of digital information in response to the needs of the Information Society. The systems of all partners in a collaborative digital library must be able to interoperate.
A digital library complements digital archives and initiatives for the preservation of information resources.
The mission of the digital library is to give direct access to information resources, both digital and non-digital, in a structured and authoritative manner and thus to link information technology, education and culture in contemporary library service. To fulfil this mission the following goals are pursued:
Supporting digitisation, access to and preservation of cultural and scientific heritage.
Providing access for all users to the information resources collected by libraries, while respecting intellectual property rights.
Creating interoperable digital library systems to promote open standards and access.
Supporting the pivotal role of libraries and information services in the promotion of common standards and best practices.
Creating awareness of the urgent need to ensure the permanent accessibility of digital material.
Linking digital libraries to high-speed research and development networks.
Taking advantage of the increasing convergence of communications media and institutional roles to create and disseminate digital content.
Content creation, access and preservation
Building a digital library requires sources of content in digital form, whether digitised or born digital content.
Many countries have created national digitisation programmes, and more will do so, as agreed by the World Summit on the Information Society *. IFLA strongly supports and encourages both national and international digitisation strategies as well as single library and partnership initiatives. Digitisation allows the creation of virtual collections bringing together material across continents. Digitisation also has a preservation role in the case of deteriorating original documents and media.
The products of digitisation themselves must be preserved, just as born-digital material must be preserved. All digital library initiatives must include plans for digital preservation by an appropriate authority.
The digital library serves as an environment to bring together collections, services, and people in support of the full life cycle of creation, dissemination, use and preservation of data, information and knowledge.
Interoperability and sustainability are key to the vision of digital libraries able to communicate with each other. Digital libraries that conform to commonly agreed open standards and protocols improve world-wide knowledge dissemination and access.
IFLA encourages national governments, intergovernmental organisations and sponsors to recognise the strategic importance of digital libraries and to actively support their development. Contributions to large-scale digitisation programmes serve to make cultural and scientific information resources more widely available, and advance national and international digital library initiatives that will be sustainable over time.
Specific legislation and financial support from national and local governments is required to bridge the digital divide and to ensure sustainable access. Any long-term strategy must aim to bridge the digital divide and to strengthen the development of education, literacy, culture - and most of all - to provide access to information.
Bridging the digital divide also implies the need for action by the appropriate authorities to incorporate information literacy into education curricula, and to raise awareness that much valuable information from the past is not in digital form.
IFLA encourages libraries to collaborate with other cultural and scientific heritage institutions to provide rich and diverse digital resources that support education and research, tourism and the creative industries.
Consultation with rights owners and other stakeholders is essential. Designers and implementers of digital libraries should consult fully with indigenous communities, whose tangible and intangible cultural heritage it is proposed to digitise, to ensure that their rights and wishes are respected. The implementation of the digital library must also support equity of access to the content by meeting the special needs of people with disabilities.
Authorities should be aware that active planning for digital libraries at any level (national, regional and local) should cover the following issues:
Trained personnel
Adequate buildings and facilities
Integrated planning for libraries and archives
Target setting
National e-strategies, as recommended by the World Summit on the Information Society **, could establish a firm basis for planning digital libraries.

Ernest Joseph (Ernie) LEIK
With deep sadness, we make known that on Saturday July 16, 2011, Ernie Leik passed away peacefully at his home in Parksville at age 79 after a lengthy illness with cancer. Ernie was born in Southey, Saskatchewan on January 6, 1932. He was predeceased by his parents Joseph (1933) and Veronica (1983), and his sister Rita Hunt (1999). Ernie will be remembed with love by his devoted wife Vera of 47 years; three loving children, Janet (John) Wilson, Derek (Dana) Leik, and Vivian Leik; four caring grandchildren, Ashley, Jeremy, Abigail, and Isaac; his Aunt Anne Boychuk, Aunt Elsie Leik, and numerous cousins in Saskatchewan.
Ernie joined the army on his 18th birthday and spent six years in the Artillery and Paratroopers; two years in Germany and one year in Korea. After returning from overseas he spent time in Kitimat before moving to Powell River for six years. He moved to Calgary in 1962 where he met his wife to be, Vera. They spent eight years in Calgary, where their three children were born.
In 1972, Ernie and his family moved to Vancouver Island where they owned and operated the Riverbend Resort for 17 years. Upon retirement, Ernie and Vera moved to Nanoose Bay and enjoyed many winters in Arizona and Mexico. After 21 years, they moved to Parksville in 2010. Ernie enjoyed fishing, camping, curling, and was an avid gardener. He was a quiet, humble and reflective man who loved his family.
We would like to thank Dr. Desai for his ongoing care and support and all the Community Care Nurses and Workers who assisted him in the last weeks of his life.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the BC Cancer Agency, Vancouver Island Centre (2410 Lee Ave, Victoria, BC, V8R 6V5) or the charity of your choice.


Its been more than a month since I last blogged. Since then I have gone to Japan on vacation. I have seen a wonderful successful kidney transplant between two wonderful members in the church who are not blood related. I have been moving around in a Toyota Picnic that a kind American missionary friend who left for USA allowed me to use till the COE runs out in 2 January 2015. The church worship hall will undergo renovation so I have been busy with arrangements and communications of the alternate worship service space. And I have been on Whats App in a prayer group for the kidney transplant, and quite often communicating on my personal and church Facebook page. All these took time. And they drained me of ideas and the motivation to update this blog. In other words there were things to blog about but somehow the one liners of Twitter and Facebook seemed an easier and quicker and lazier way to express my thoughts. This blog is losing out but I know that if one of my goals of blogging is to practise writing then I simply have to push aside other competing demands and shun the broad and easy highways of one liners and plentiful pictures and "likes". So here I am on Christmas Eve. I have decided I need to start writing again and avoid the easier path. Just write the ideas that strike me and reflections of what is happening around me and in the news. Ramble if I have to. Just get started again on a regular basis.
I am so heartened by Christian leaders and pastors who have continued to blog. Many have stopped as traffic moved elsewhere but these guys still keep writing regularly with persistence and quality. They are on my blogroll links on the right hand and I hope to keep company with them.
Well this is a good enough kick-start for today. Hopefully the passion will kick in and I will have something more substantial to say.
On Sunday a guest in church asked if I was the one who wrote a blog and she mentioned reading it. I did not have the presence of mind nor cleverness to ask what she read or to inquire as to what interested her or whether she found it helpful.She must have read one of those posts that were probably from a period when I wrote about twice or thrice a week.
On Tuesday, I was in the car with a colleague talking about the thesis I have to write. I had a few ideas I was exploring. He strongly felt I should write something about the use of social media in learning and discipleship since he knew blogging was something I was enthusiastic about. In passing he mentioned that he had met quite a few friends who reads blogpastor.net.
On Thursday, I was having lunch with a pastor who mentioned occasionally reading my blog too. Hmm.
Three affirmations within five days is not normal. Something is afoot. As I reflected on this I remembered how I felt after I came back from my study module in Bangkok. My target had been to blog once a week. But I was tired from the intensity of the course. I had sermons to prepare. I had post-campus assignments to do. I felt like maybe I should just stop blogging. It is like you are jogging at a good pace and an anxiety fills you and all of a sudden you simply stopped in your track. All those incidents, so surprising, are probably the Lord's gentle pat on the back to encourage me to continue on this writing journey. It will lead somewhere. It does me good. It helps people. Blogging sounds like slogging but I want to write as fulfillment and delight but is this possible all the time…..I wonder.
Tony Reinke wrote an interesting article listing 15 tips on blogging which he had drawn from the Writings of John Newton, the former slave-trader who encountered Christ and became a hymn-writer and quite a prolific letter writer too. His letters were written in an informal easy style, topical, and experience-based. This is similar to blogging. Scan the list of 15 tips and if you want to read John Newton's own words from which Tony deduced the tips read the full article HERE.
1. Bloggers should write to learn, to meditate, and to remember.
2. Bloggers should write to edify, therefore it is preferable to write simple truth than to spread eloquent trifles.
3. Bloggers should expect the well to run dry at times, and understand some of the personal factors that explain this barrenness.
4. Women should be encouraged to blog for the benefit of the entire church, since they naturally write in a style more enjoyable, and less stilted, than men are normally capable of.
6. Blog to offer both converting and comforting grace to your reader.
7. Make it your constant aim to blog with the intent of prospering your reader in God.
8. Be extra careful when handling controversy on your blog, and if you do engage it, know that it carries with it extra responsibilities, first in the tone of how you write, secondly in requiring you to sincerely pray for your opponent(s) before you engage them, and thirdly in requiring that you address your opponent as one who has an eternal soul, and who will either be lost forever, or as one that will be your brother or sister in heaven for all eternity.
9. Bloggers should aim to write from personal experience.
10. Bloggers should also write from their observations of others.
11. Learn to blog your observations more freely, especially if you are bent towards a stilted formalism.
12. Blog humbly and in faith, knowing the Lord will lead you to offer a "word in season" for your readers in their time of need.
13. Pray that God would fill your soul with divine joy as you write, that this joy would be communicated on the screen, resulting in a shared joy with your reader.
15. Redeem your barren blogging experiences, use them to see your needs and weaknesses, and lean upon God for his sustaining and supplying grace.

Nathan Sinkala (* 22. November 1990 in Chingola) ist ein sambischer Fußballspieler. Der Mittelfeldakteur spielt in Südafrika für Stellenbosch FC und gehört zum Kader der sambischen Nationalmannschaft. Sein Vater Moffat Sinkala und sein Bruder Andrew Sinkala waren ebenfalls sambische Nationalspieler.

Karriere

Verein
Sinkala spielte bis 2007 bei Lusaka Celtic und gehört seit 2008 dem Armeeklub Green Buffaloes an, für den er in der Zambian Premier League, der höchsten Spielklasse des Landes, aktiv ist. Im November 2008 nahm er mit seinem Landsmann Chisamba Lungu als Teil eines Afrika-Teams an mehreren Testspielen in Russland teil, denen auch zahlreiche europäische Scouts beiwohnten. Anfang 2009 wechselte Sinkala für ein halbes Jahr auf Leihbasis zum israelischen Klub Hapoel Ironi Kirjat Schmona, kam dort aber über Einsätze im Jugend- und Reserveteam nicht hinaus und kehrte zu den Green Buffaloes zurück. 2010 gewann er mit dem Klub den Charity Shield. Nach dem Gewinn des Afrika Cups 2012 unterzeichnete er beim kongolesischen Spitzenklub TP Mazembe einen Drei-Jahres-Vertrag, er trifft dort auf ein großes Kontingent von sambischen Spielern, darunter mit Given Singuluma, Stophira Sunzu, Rainford Kalaba, Hichani Himoonde, Kalililo Kakonje und Emmanuel Mbola auch zahlreiche Nationalspieler. In seiner Zeit bei Mazembe gewann Sinkala zweimal die kongolesische Meisterschaft und stand mit dem Team 2013 im Finale des CAF Confederation Cups.

Im Januar 2014 wechselte Sinkala für ein halbes Jahr auf Leihbasis zum abstiegsgefährdeten französischen Erstligisten FC Sochaux. Dortiger Trainer ist der vormalige sambische Nationaltrainer Hervé Renard, zu seinen Mitspielern zählen seine Nationalmannschaftskollegen Stophira Sunzu und Emmanuel Mayuka.

Nach der Zeit in Frankreich, wurde Sinkala erneut nach Europa ausgeliehen, dieses Mal in die Schweiz zum Grasshopper Club Zürich, wo er ebenfalls ein halbes Jahr blieb.

Nationalmannschaft
2007 und 2008 nahm er mit der sambischen U-20-Nationalmannschaft am COSAFA U-20 Challenge Cup teil, beide Male kam das Team aber nicht über die Gruppenphase hinaus. In der Qualifikation zur U-20-Afrikameisterschaft 2009 scheiterte er mit dem sambischen Team in der letzten Qualifikationsrunde mit 3:4 am ägyptischen Nachwuchs, dafür folgte im Dezember 2008 der Gewinn der Bronzemedaille beim SADC Zone Six U-20-Turnier. Im sambischen U-23-Team spielte er erstmals im Januar 2011 im Rahmen der Qualifikation für die Panafrikanischen Spiele gegen Simbabwe, Sambia scheiterte allerdings am südlichen Nachbarn. In der Folge wirkte er auch in der Qualifikation für die Olympischen Sommerspiele mit.

Nationaltrainer Hervé Renard berief Sinkala im November 2011 für den CECAFA Cup 2011 erstmals in das Aufgebot der sambischen A-Nationalelf, nach Intervention der CAF durfte das sambische Team dort allerdings nicht antreten. Stattdessen reiste er mit dem Nationalteam ins Trainingslager nach Indien, wo er in einem Freundschaftsspiel gegen die indische Nationalmannschaft sein Länderspieldebüt gab. Wenig später wurde er in das provisorische Aufgebot für die Afrikameisterschaft 2012 berufen, und nach der Verletzung von Thomas Nyirenda und der Nichtberücksichtigung von Justine Zulu, zwei Konkurrenten um eine Position im zentralen Mittelfeld, schaffte Sinkala den Sprung in den Turnierkader. Dort gehörte er im defensiven Mittelfeld zum Stammpersonal und kam beim erstmaligen Turniergewinn in allen sechs Turnierpartien zum Einsatz und gehörte zu den Entdeckungen des Turniers. Nach dem Erreichen des Halbfinals wurde Sinkala innerhalb der sambischen Armee vom Corporal zum Sergeant befördert. Bei der Afrikameisterschaft 2013 gehörte Sinkala in allen drei Partien zur Startelf, als Titelverteidiger scheiterte man aber nach drei Unentschieden, darunter gegen die späteren Finalisten Nigeria und Burkina Faso, bereits in der Gruppenphase.

Time lapse photography is a filming technique that uses a lower frame rate for capturing video than is used for viewing it, resulting in a video that appears to be sped up. For example, you might record people walking through a park at one frame per second and play it back at 30 frames per second, resulting in something akin to a Benny Hill chase. Basically it is the opposite of slow motion. This technique is ideal for capturing motion that is too subtle for the human eye to appreciate, such as star movement, flowers blooming or clouds developing. It is also good for seeing long term progress, like watching the construction of a skyscraper, from beginning to end, in just a minute or two. iOS 8 has added this functionality to the Camera app, so now you can make your own time lapse videos with your iPhone or iPad.
Creating your own time lapse video is quite simple. Open your Camera and scroll over and select the "Time Lapse" option. Now all you have to do is tap record.
Keep in mind that you'll likely want a tripod of some sort, or at least something to prop your phone against for the shoot. The object of a time lapse is to see one specific area change over time, so a wobbling camera won't do, and you probably don't want to hold the camera for that long anyway.


Frequently asked questions about damp proofing and waterproofing.
Can untreated damp walls affect your health?
Moulds are ubiquitous, and mould spores are a common component of household and workplace dust; however, when mould spores are present in large quantities, they can present a health hazard to humans, potentially causing allergic reactions and respiratory problems.
Some moulds also produce mycotoxins that can pose serious health risks to humans and animals. Some studies claim that exposure to high levels of mycotoxins can lead to neurological problems and in some cases death. Prolonged exposure, e.g. daily home exposure, may be particularly harmful. Research on the health impacts of mould has not been conclusive. The term "toxic mould" refers to moulds that produce mycotoxins and not to all moulds in general.
Mould in your home can usually be found in damp, dark or steamy areas e.g. bathrooms or kitchens, cluttered storage areas, recently flooded areas, basement areas, areas with poor ventilation and outdoors in humid environments. Symptoms caused by mould allergy are watery, itchy eyes, a chronic cough, headaches or migraines, difficulty breathing, rashes, tiredness, sinus problems, nasal blockage and frequent sneezing.
Are there alternative damp proofing solutions that provide a quick fix?
No, you need to stop the root cause of the damp problem.
We are proud to say that we have the only tested damp proofing methods in South Africa for South African conditions.
How long before I can paint my walls after damp proofing or waterproofing was done?
It all depends on the moisture content in the walls. The walls can only be painted as soon as the moisture content is less than 12%.
Do we have site supervision?
Have we tested our rising damp proofing methods?
Yes, extensive tests has been done on our rising damp proofing methods at the SABS.

Male Arrested In Thurles In Connection With Attack On TD Martin Kenny
A male, believed to be from the Thurles area, is currently being detained at Thurles Garda Station, under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act.
The arrest follows investigations by Gardaí into an arson attack, last week, on the car of a democratically elected Sinn Fein representative Mr Martin Kenny, at his home in Aughavas, near Ballinamore in Co. Leitrim.
The arson attack, targeting Deputy Kenny's motor vehicle, [a married father of four children], occurred some days after he received death threats.
These death threats followed an earlier speech given in Dáil Éireann, where the forty-eight-year old Mr Kenny, slammed fear-mongering and unnecessary hysteria, being whipped up by members of the far right movement, in relation to immigration.
A Garda statement last night stated: "Gardaí in Leitrim investigating an incident of criminal damage by fire which occurred in the Aughavas area of Co Leitrim at approximately 2.30am on 28th October 2019, have today arrested a male aged in his mid-40's".

REPORTS: BRITNEY, ADELE COURTED FOR X FACTOR
Britney Spears has turned down an offer of $10 million a year to become a judge on Fox's The X Factor next season but has indicated she'd accept $20 million, according to TheWrap.com, which cited a knowledgeable individual in Spears's camp. The website said that Spears rejected the $10-million offer three weeks ago and is now considering an offer to become a "resident performer" — à la Celine Dion — at a Las Vegas hotel. Meanwhile, the London Daily Star reported today that X Factor producer-judge Simon Cowell is courting Grammy winner Adele to join the U.S. version of the show. It quoted a source close to Cowell as saying that "money is not a factor" in his effort to lure Adele to the show. "Simon is always looking for new directions and ideas," the source said. "He recognizes that true musicianship and a serious approach can bring a lot of credibility and an extra dimension to his show."

Ah, Thurlby Domain is a very special place. The stone ruins are part of the original homestead built for the Hallensteins Brothers. Now a heritage listed site, it is a wonderful location for intimate weddings. The grounds are filled with centuries old fruit trees providing much-needed shade on a hot, sunny day. Our couple had family come from the UK for their small, intimate ceremony. We arranged decor and seating with the help of Wanaka Wedding Hire. Flowers and arch decoration came from The Flower Room.
Scott was both photographer and film-maker. Having one man instead of multiple crew members keeps the feeling of intimacy. It allows a real trust to form between couple and cameraman. This trust translates to natural and connected footage. After the ceremony Scott took photos and video around the Thurlby Domain ruins. Next they headed off to Lake Hayes for a few pics. Then a short helicopter flight to The Ledge on Cecil Peak for some mountain photos and a spot of random dancing.
Nez and Justin booked our Thurlby Domain and mountain photoshoot wedding package for their intimate family wedding plus flowers, decor and furniture. This included 4 hours photography, planning, coordination, celebrant, bubbles, helicopter flight to The Ledge – Cecil Peak, bouquet and buttonhole plus decor and furniture at the venue. They added on an extra hour of photography time plus a highlight video.

Bipartisan House OKs $57 Billion Overhaul for US Postal Service
A bipartisan House approved a bill to provide funding for a proposed overhaul of the US Postal Service. This includes measures to relieve the agency of tens of billions of dollars in liabilities. The measure hopes to allow the USPS to finally modernize its system and increase its efficiency.
RELATED: Senate Files Bipartisan Bill to Overhaul US Postal Service
House Passes Postal Service Reform Act 342-92
The Postal Service Reform Act passed a surprisingly bipartisan House, 342-92. It will now proceed to the Senate, where Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) will put it to a vote by next week. Both parties remain optimistic for the bill to pass through the Senate as well.
The bill features 27 co-sponsors in the Senate, including 14 Republicans. As such, it now has sufficient numbers to overcome any potential filibusters.
The Postal Service Reform Act is seen as a major breakthrough for the US Postal Service. In addition, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy made the legislation a focal point in his 10-year postal restructuring plan. Previously, the USPS asked Congress to help with its balance sheet for 15 years.
Preservation of the Postal Service
Democrats said that the legislation is crucial to maintaining the US Postal Service's reach into nearly every American household. At the same time, Republicans say that the bill vindicates DeJoy's initiatives to make the USPS a more conservative agency.
The bill's sponsor, Representative Carolyn Mahoney (D-NY) is also chair of the House Oversight and Reform Committee. "We need to take steps to make our post office stronger," she said. Mahoney added that the bill can save taxpayers' dollars while at the same time making the operations of the post office more financially stable and sustainable. In addition, the bill also makes postal jobs and employee health benefits more secure.
Postal Service To Receive Help Clearing Liabilities in Healthcare Costs
Since 2006, the Postal Service pays its retirees' health care costs in advance. Back then, mail volume remained steady as the agency stood profitable. However, declining use in mail turned the agency into a bleeding institution. Now, the pre-funding requirement eats up $152.8 billion of its $206.4 billion in liabilities.
The Postal Service Reform Act will wipe $57 billion of the Postal Service's liabilities. In addition, the bill will also save the agency another $50 billion over the next ten years. The bill will also require new timely delivery transparency requirements. It also allows the agency to contract with local, state, and Indigenous governments. These agencies can help provide basic non-postal services, such as hunting and fishing licenses.
Republicans On Board with Postal Reform
Meanwhile, Representative James Corner (R-KY), the top GOP member on the House Oversight Committee, also gave his support. "Congress just doesn't want to put a Band-Aid on the post office. We want to try to have a permanent solution to the post office, and that all predicates on having a reform plan. The former postmaster general never did come up with a reform plan," he added. "Now we have Louis DeJoy. He came up with a reform plan. As evidenced by the support for this bill from Democrats, these reforms are working," he added.
Previously, Democrats expressed their disdain for DeJoy. The Postmaster General's past fundraising activities for former president Donald Trump didn't help. As a result, Democrats accused DeJoy of hampering the USPS's collection of mailed ballots during the 2020 presidential election. Now, it seems all parties are on the same page. "This was an agreement bill," Maloney said. "From Day One, we could have passed a bill with just Democratic votes, but it would have been dead in the Senate."
Watch the NewsMax TV reporting that the House to vote on Postal Service reform bill
Do you support the bill providing a $57 billion infusion to help the US Postal Service?
How original. Congress throwing money into a perennial problem caused by an inefficient government agency.
There are far too many private companies performing the same services as the USPS. Maybe it's time to stop propping up the agency.
Taxpayers once again asked to shell out money to bail out a government agency.
Finally, it's about time Congress helps out the USPS.
Do you agree with the bipartisan bill to infuse funding to help the United States Postal Service? Will this ultimately help improve the agency's services?
Tell us what you think. Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
Absolutely not ? How about USPS manage its current resources just like every citizen of this country must do. How about it proves it can do that before taxpayers hand out more money for them to squander ?
Robert Mowery says:
Yes I agree, the USPS is a great service, one of the few government agencies you can depend on to get things done. Don't let the politicians strip something that a lot of people depend on. ERveryone can't afford the private delivery services and internet connections. Support the USPS!!
The Rebel says:
Name one(1) department/federal agency that has EVER operated within their budget, not been highly overstaffed, and ever produced any documentation that could be read and comprehended by anyone other than a lying-azz attorney !!!!
Yes they need to support the USPO It's a job the military can come back to Always !!!
JoAnn Leichliter says:
What do hunting and fishing licenses have to do with the federal government? Those licenses are issued by the state.
Timothy R Williams says:
Mismanagement of resources, financial,personnel and time,is the downfall of this agency. Unions overstepping their intended purposes,used as a revenge mechanism against management. That being said,there are plenty of idiots in managment,to provoke the workforce.
Get rid of the USPS! Just another incompetent, fund wasting government dept. Like the DMV, Social Security, DEA, etc. But politicians have to keep it going, they play a critical role in cheating the electios!
Until America adopts TERM LIMITS for Congress and the SCOTUS, only then can American taxpayers begin to eradicate all the drunks, liars, pedophiles, whores, and thieves in the Washington, DC area. America is being controlled by the Communist Party of America and the strength and power of that CONTROL group is growing. WAKE UP AMERICA —–FREEDOM IS NOT FREE !!!!!
BBA says:
Hmmmm, how about instead of throwing more money at the poorly ran Government USPS why not fire every f'n administrating suit and start all over!! Name one Federally ran government institute that is ran efficiently???? Hell, in my area the mail deliverers barely speak English and are notorious for sticking mail in whosever mailboxes be it the right address or not.
Interesting that USPS rates continue to increase BUT the delivery service gets slower and slower!!!
BTW—————–that documentation can be read by 12 different lying-azz attorneys and have 12 different interpretations—————–just the way gubmint manure is shoveled !!!!!!
There are American citizens out here struggling and you want to throw away money on USPS? They don't even deliver weekly, maybe 4 out of 6 days a week. What happened to the monthly stimulus package? Can't do that for the people, shouldn't do anything else for the government.
Patrick Erickson says:
No.. the problem stated was health and welfare costs, unless they change those overly generous entitlements they will be back for money as more of employees retire..
Neil DeWitt says:
The Post Office has become like schools, always begging for more money. Neither is worth wasting money on. We the people don't get any return for our money spent. In Alaska it take me two to three weeks to get first class mail if it ever shows up. Our school children get stupider and the government wants to force CRT on them. It's time people we all step up and declare its not working. It's time to either change everything or get rid of it completely.
USPS Another waste of taxpayer dollars.
They'll tell you how it's not a subsidized organization, but it is the
poster child for runaway waste of money. They should have let it go bust
and let a private company take it over and run it properly.
WASTE WASTE WASTE OF TAXES
Mario Lofaro says:
No! Not no, but bleep no! In the last 30 years, our hard earned money has been thrown to companies "in need". (Amtrak, GM, Crysler, etc.). All it does is make the top executives richer while making nothing else bettter, and increasing our tax burdens.
Bob F. says:
What all of you don"t know that Congress used The Postal Service as a CASH COW when we were Operating at a Profit. They Grabbed our profits and stuffed into the General for there Pork Barrel projects. When First Class Mail Tanked because of eMail usage and congress wanted to make Billing Payment Electronic that's when the Postal Service started losing Money and Congress wanted more so Congress Forced a 15 Billion Pre-Pay for future Employee's. No other Government has forced any Company in the world to Pre_pay like this. So much for the accused BAIL OUT the are just ging bake the Billions Congress stole from the Postal Service
Mari S says:
Let a company that reports to stockholders take it over – then maybe there will be incentives for efficiency, cost controls and customer satisfaction. Where I live, lots of mail is never delivered, torn open, gift cards removed, etc. before it even hits the mailboxes. I had a package delivery that ended up on someone's porch 45 miles away. Never saw it.

How do you choose fonts and colors that fit your restaurant branding? That's a question many people ask when it comes down to starting their company. Colors are what is going to represent your comany visually, it is going to be the first impression of guests before you even get them in your doors to try your amazing food. So, a lot of thought must go into choosing these colors.
For example, in terms of color just think of the following companies and how their color choices work. With Target its known for its red bullseye, Apple is known for its metallic silver apple, and Best Buy with its big yellow tag. Each color conveys a different meaning and you want to be sure that your colors are giving off the right type of emotional meaning for your brand. Below, I share a list of colors and tips on what they represent.
Use colors that are complimentary of each other - you don't want your colors clashing because it will ruin your brand.
Don't choose bright neon colors - you want your clients and consumers to enjoy looking at it not have them looking away because its hard to look at.
Use colors that evoke the right feeling for your restaurant - Think about details like what type of cuisine will you be serving? Is it from a specific country? Is it fresh from the farm? Is it fast food where you need to be quickly recognizable?
Fonts are very similar in the sense that they are so important to your restaurant branding. One major thing to remember is make sure your'e not choosing a font that is similar to your competition. You want yours to stand out from the competition but you also want it to be readable, so chose fonts that are easy to read at a quick glance.
If you are considering a rebrand, here's 101 reasons why you should go for it.
Type of Font – There are thousands of fonts to choose from – above shows eamples of 3 types but there is also other types such as display and handwriting.
Scaling – How narrow or wide do you want your font?
Case – All caps? All Lower case? Or mixed?
Style - Modern? Serif? Sans Serif? Handwritten?
When considering the above questions when choosing your font and colors for your brand, it's important to keep in mind that not every company is the same. You have to figure out what you want your company to represent. McDonalds wouldn't be as memorable without its golden arches and Wendy's would be nothing without its little girl. You want your brand to be memorable not forgotten.
In conclusion, choose colors that complement each other and a font that will bring your message home. Avoid using clashing elements with color and avoid using too many different styles of fonts. Keep it simple. When creating your brand the term "Less is more" couldn't be more true. Happy designing.
