Objects of Extreme Hate: Ex-Homosexuals
by Bill MuehlenbergPosted on Nov 14, 2013 Nov 14, 2013
That the militant homosexual lobby is expert at hatred and spewing forth venomous bile at anyone who dares to differ is of course well known, and has been amply documented here hundreds of times. But the great focus of their rage and hatred is on those who dare to leave the homosexual lifestyle. That is the really big taboo.
They absolutely hate it when a homosexual is set free from this deadly and dead-end lifestyle. Of course the reason for this is obvious: it derails their entire false premise that this is a condition one is born with and is completely unalterable. The fact that so many have fully left the homosexual lifestyle obviously gives lie to the myth that homosexuals cannot change.
I know many of these folks personally. They were deeply into the homosexual lifestyle, but have now been set gloriously free from this unhealthy and high-risk lifestyle. There are probably only two other areas in which conversion out is considered to be so heinous.
In Islam the "sin" of apostasy is met with only one response: death. And when an atheist dares to leave the world of ideological atheism, all hell breaks out there as well, as in the recent case of Antony Flew. All rigid and destructive ideologies absolutely hate it when anyone dares to defect. It is the unpardonable sin which must be ferociously denounced.
And we have experienced similar sorts of such warfare in the past. During the height of the Cold War there were many who treasured freedom, rule of law, and democracy, and knew that Communism was wholly incompatible with those goods.
But many did not like these folks, so we ended up with the phenomenon of anti-anti-Communism. It seems we have the same here today: the reality of anti-anti-homosexuality. Or in this case, more specifically, anti-ex-homosexuality. The militants have declared war on their own, and any who has the courage and sense to defect from this dangerous lifestyle is branded a traitor and vilified in horrific fashion.
Examples of this are all over the place. I know the demonic abuse my ex-homosexual friends receive from the hate brigade. It certainly is not pretty. Here I offer a few more stories from ex-homosexuals – you know, those people who are not supposed to exist. Just as blacks were once an invisible people, today ex-homosexuals are.
Consider the case of former self-described "Satanic Drag Queen" Trace McNutt. He received the First Annual Courage Award for Former Homosexuals as a part of the 2013 Ex-Gay Awareness Dinner in Washington. Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays (PFOX), a non-profit organization that advocates and supports former homosexuals and their families, hosted the event.
As one article states, "'When gays come out of the closet they are welcomed, but former homosexuals are forced to remain hidden because of defamation by anti-ex-gay extremists and marginalization from American society,' commented Christopher Doyle, Co-Founder and President of Voice of the Voiceless (VoV).
"'It takes a lot of courage for ex-gays such as Trace McNutt to tell their stories, especially considering that doing so brings scorn and punishment, such was seen with Grammy-award winner gospel singer Donnie McClurklin, who last month was scheduled to headline a 50th Anniversary March on Washington celebration, but was uninvited because he is ex-gay.'
"Individuals that have left homosexuality overcome more than just unwanted same-sex attractions. Trace McNutt was rejected by his family, bullied relentlessly by his classmates, and then victimized by the gay community, who used him for entertainment and then disregarded him once he became addicted to drugs and infected with HIV. At one point, Trace was so sick and destitute that he became homeless and was forced to live in a dumpster on the streets; the very drag queen community that welcomed him with open arms threw him away like yesterday's trash once he was unable to perform. You can watch Trace's story by clicking here.
"It wasn't until Trace came out of homosexuality, became a Christian, and stopped performing as a self-described 'Satanic Drag Queen' called 'Coma' that his former community paid attention to him. He received defamation, hate mail, and death threats from the so-called tolerant gay community. 'Trace's experience is proof that when ex-gays leave homosexuality, they are attacked and faced with an unbelievable amount of hostility. In today's anti-ex-gay climate, talking publicly about leaving homosexuality is truly an act of courage. Trace McNutt is a real hero,' commented Doyle."
Another ex-homosexual is concerned about how others are seeking to drag such folks back into bondage. He especially refers to Alan Chambers of Exodus, a group he effectively destroyed by selling out to the other side. I wrote about that elsewhere: billmuehlenberg.com/2013/06/21/on-exodus/
Says Mattie Walk, "I am weary these days. I know the truth of my story about walking away from homosexuality. I celebrate the freedom I have found in Jesus Christ. Yet, I am weary, because so many are still being deceived by the haunting echoes of Alan Chamber's opening speech from the 38th Annual Exodus Conference.
"As a result of those words I find myself having to defend my beliefs and my testimony to a wider demographic of people than ever before. Never in a million years would I have thought I would find myself head to head debating Christians or at least people who claim to be 'Christians', about the acceptance homosexuality in the church.
"I was there that fateful night. I can only say that I appreciate the distance, time has given me. Exodus, like the Titanic, was once grand, but seemingly overnight its stability was compromised and it sank out from under us. Those of us in the proverbial lifeboats or worse yet in the water were either left to succumb to the elements or be set adrift as Chambers and colleagues moved on to start a new ministry.
"Which is perplexing, because Chambers himself said 'we believe that Exodus must go out of business so the church can do its job. And this will leave a void, one that I hope will not be filled by anything else but the church.' He stated that the new ministry would help the church reach a new generation.
"So let me get this straight. It was better to close a well-established organization that has stepped alongside churches for the last 37 years so that the church can do its job. And the void should not be filled by anything, but the church, unless it's a new ministry run by the old Executive Exodus Staff that plans to step alongside the church to help the church minister to people. Wasn't that what Exodus was doing?"
He concludes: "I obviously don't write this blog for popularity. I am by no means trying to make anyone decide between Team Alan or Team Matthew. I honestly think it's extremely necessary though that when evil rears its ugly head that we have to speak up for the truth. Alan may be resting up nicely as the head of a new, unnecessary as it may be, organization, but he left a thousand loose ends and wounded hearts in the wake of his perceived successful reign.
"As often as that speech is referenced, I will share my 'True Story' of what being there felt like. It was like waking up to a battlefield of dead bodies from a war we didn't know was being fought. For some that was their first taste of what Exodus. For others it was witnessing the death of an old friend.
"Wherever you fit into this picture my friends, please remember that Alan Chambers is just a man as I am just a man. Opinion on either side does not compare the word of God that was the catalyst for powerful change in my life. Change is indeed possible. Don't build a foundation for your eternity on the opinions of men. Seek out your own answers in prayer, in the bible and through the power of the Holy Spirit."
Yes I know all about these sham Christians who have betrayed the Lord and betrayed the many brave ex-homosexuals. But that is always how it goes. We must continue to stand up for what is right, and ignore the haters and the deceivers.
Jesus faced all this and more, and so must we.

John McAllister says:
I fully support you on this. I know that people can change. After being abused I struggled with homosexual thoughts but thankfully I didn't act out on those thoughts but I was told about the risk and out of self preservation I quit before I got started.
What concerns me the most is the attack on kids. As mentioned in Saltshakers there has been a push to normalise homosexuality to kids in Australia. Given that according to the Archive of Sexual behaviour October 2001, 46% of the homosexual men surveyed were sexually molested by someone of the same gender, I see any attempt on kids as a valid Caius Belli. Given what Jesus says about harming these little ones, ending it in hemp seems like the merciful option.
I hate to see the pawns get the heat for the wishes of the movement. But justice needs to be done. Homosexuals are both villains and victims. We can empathise with the victim but not the villain. I am more than willing to allow the justice system to punish crime, but if the justice system protects abuse in the name of tolerance then our only recourse is to dump the leaves of the camellia sinensis into the harbor in protest.

James Brimblecombe says:
So true, so true. The propaganda has gotten so far out of control that ex-gays are not even accepted to exist.
What angers me is the hypocrisy that emerges from the gay lobby – they say that sexuality is unchangable, and then in the same breath, talk about "breaking in" straight people!
I only pray that one day they get to know Jesus, and understand the error of their ways.

Bonnie Oskvarek says:
Thank you for your article and for the two attendant links. Matthew's blog was very touching and gave me a fuller sense of the abandonment that must have been experienced at this convention. I remember when Exodus and Transformation Ministries were first being extolled in the late 80's. Even as a "straight" new Christian, they helped me to understand the issues involved and tempered my acceptance/repulsion of the homosexual movement.

Graham Jose says:
You may already know of Robert Oscar Lopez. Raised by lesbian parents, inevitably fell into the homosexual lifestyle himself, years of self destructive behavior. Left the lifestyle, married with children. He is now a very prominent advocate for children, family, marriage and those who wish to leave the lifestyle. A remarkable testimony. Recently did an interview with John Safran.

I pray that those brave x-homosexuals will know with absolute certainly in their very being that there is more support on their, the Lord's side, though largely unseen and unnoticed than is on the side of evil, which is largely heat and brute force and intimidation, but no substance nor real strength,
and can at worst kill the body but has no power beyond that upon the destiny of our souls.
Many blessings

Mick Koster says:
I read of a case a while ago in the UK. Apparently "out" Gay Actors like John Barrowman contributed to fund large signs around London with the words "Some people are gay. Get over it." This was fully supported however, when a group of ex-gays tried to respond by putting signs on London busses saying, "Some people are ex-gay. Get over it." they were forbidden by Greater London Council Mayor Boris Johnson because it didn't comply with their "diversity" policies. (Your UK readers can hopefully verify this.)

Harmony House failed to deposit payroll taxes on time
Correction: A previous version of this story stated that Harmony House failed to make more than 900 payroll tax deposits. That number is incorrect.

Correction: A previous version of this story stated that Harmony House failed to make more than 900 payroll tax deposits. That number is incorrect. The audit stated "The 941 deposits were not made from March 2016 through June 2016, and employee withholdings for state income taxes were not made from October 2015 to June 2016." In this case, 941 refers to IRS Form 941, Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return. We apologize for the error and any confusion it might have caused.
Harmony House failed to make state and federal payroll tax deposits, according to an audit of the organization's finances.
An audit for Monroe Area Guidance Center, doing business as Harmony House, found five significant deficiencies. The audit was compiled by Johnson, Perry, Roussel & Cuthbert LLP.
From March through June 2016, Form 941 payroll tax deposits were not remitted to the Internal Revenue Service and the Louisiana Department of Revenue as required. The taxes should be sent to the IRS within a few days of each payroll date and to Louisiana by the last day of the following month. Accounts payable and accrued expenses included $38,362 in penalties due. Harmony House also will be assessed penalties and interest for the late payment of taxes. There was a change of responsible party over payroll reporting, and the nonprofit had inadequate controls over monitoring. Auditors said the nonprofit should look at its policies regarding payroll and oversight. Management agreed and noted that all delinquent taxes through June 30 have been filed correctly.
Payroll reports were not filed as required by law, and the unemployment report did not identify all the employees who were paid. Harmony House is required to file different payroll tax reports monthly and quarterly to the IRS and the state of Louisiana. This finding was also caused by a change in payroll oversight and lack of monitoring. The auditors suggested that the organization should review its payroll reporting policies. Management agreed and noted that all payroll reports through June 30 have been filed correctly.
One finding was that the nonprofit pays an auditor to propose year-end adjusting of journal entries and financial statements. Because of this, Harmony House lacks internal controls for the compilation of year-end statements. The auditor noted that it is not cost effective for the nonprofit to cure this deficiency, thus suggested that no action should be taken. Management agreed in its response.
The auditor found that bank statements were not reconciled in a timely manner. The recommendation is that bank accounts should be reconciled within 10 days of receiving the bank statement, and the treasurer of the board or another officer should review the reconciliation. Management agreed with the finding and plans to implement new policies and procedures over the process.
The audit also was filed with the Louisiana legislative auditor later than six months after the end of the fiscal year. The auditor recommended filing on time in the future, and the management agreed with that finding and agreed to file on time in the future.

Four more areas planned to be added to Thailand's pilot reopening areas in October
Nop Meechukhun
Thursday, 2 September 2021, 20:17
Four more areas, namely Chiang Khan, Koh Kood, Koh Chang, and Koh Samet, are approved in principle to be added to the list of pilot areas under Thailand's reopening plan within 120 days, according to the approval of the ministers at an online conference yesterday, September 1st.
Additionally, more details of the proposed Pattaya Bubble and Seal plan were revealed prior to a proposal to the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) and the Thai Cabinet.
Dr. Satit Pitutecha, Deputy Minister of Public Health, hosted the conference with the steering committee to develop Thailand into an international health center (Medical Hub Policy), joined by Tourism and Sports Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn and Thares Krasanairawiwong, Director-General of the Department of Health Service Support, Ministry of Health.
The meeting has approved, in principle, five proposals including the guidelines, measures, and additional areas to join the countries reopening in 120 days according to government policy.
Chiang Khan of Loei province, Koh Kood and Koh Chang of Trat province, and Koh Samet of Rayong province will join Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Hua Hin, and Pattaya in the reopening plan in October under the "Bubble and Sealed" tourism method (see below). The areas will be introduced to the cabinet committee afterward.
The ministers also support the domestic production of 4 types of vaccines as a production hub in Thailand and will propose the idea to the Cabinet committee for financial support and the FDA's license registration. The Covid-19 vaccines are ChulaCov19, Baiya Vaccine, Covid-19 HXP – GPO Vac, and a Nasal Covid-19 Spray by Biotech.
Following the Medical Hub Policy, the meeting encourages the development of the Wellness Hub of Thailand as well as Thai massage and Thai spas to reach international standards.
Health tourism routes in nine provinces will also be introduced to the Cabinet committee to become what they hope will be the world's herbal center with the use of cannabis and herbal products. The provinces are Udon Thani, Sakon Nakhon, Nakhon Phanom, Nong Khai, Loei, Nong Bua Lamphu, Bueng Kan, Nakhon Ratchasima, Prachin Buri (Aphai Phubet), and Buriram (Non Malai model).
TPN Media notes Pattaya is still on the agenda for "reopening" in October and is planned to get final approval later this month. However, what the government considers "reopening" and what the average tourist considers will likely be vastly different ideas.
The program is, at this time and subject to change, based on a "bubble and seal" standard operating platform, similar to Koh Samui. Essentially, this means a tourist would have to stay at a resort that meets SHA (Safety and Health Administration) standards in the Pattaya area for at least seven days. They could utilize the resort's premises and facilities but could not leave the overall area.
After two Covid-19 tests in the first seven days, the tourist would then be allowed to go on tours around the Pattaya area to approved locations. Early spots named were Nong Nooch Gardens, Buddha Hill, islands, water activities like diving, Sanctuary of Truth, Wat Yansangwararam, Khao Kheow Open Zoo, the Floating Market, Rubber Land, Underwater World, and other attractions that would be easy for one to socially distance with little risk of spread of Covid-19. None of these tours would be "mandatory" and one could simply stay at the resort if they wished.
After a final Covid-19 test, one would be allowed to travel where they wished after fourteen days, under the proposal. Although some people would certainly opt into the program, especially ex-pats, many would prefer no quarantine at all or being able to visit the locations and destinations of their choice, such as nightlife or bars, which have no guarantee of even being able to open in October and have currently been shuttered since April 10th of this year.
As for a true no quarantine style "reopening" to vaccinated foreign tourists this is unlikely to happen until at least January 2022, according to the Pattaya Mayor earlier this week, Sonthaya Khunplume, speaking at a vaccination drive.
However, there are options with both Phuket and Hua Hin offering "Sandboxes" instead of bubble and seal for perspective tourists with much more freedom of movement.

When most athletes suit up for their first season of college or university sports, a championship is a dream, not a reality.
For Chatham's Jessica Jordan, she enjoyed a wild ride as a first year player, which included an OCAA championship and a trip to the National championships with her Fanshawe College Falcons.
The opportunity to see the country, and meet new people were two of the most unforgettable components of her season with Fanshawe, according to Jordan.
Not only did Jordan enjoy new experiences, but she also improved her on court play.
Jordan played in all 24 games during the Falcons' regular season, averaging 4.3 points per game, along with 2.8 rebounds, while seeing just over 13-minutes of court time per game.
Now, with a successful season behind her, Jordan is looking forward to an even bigger 2019-2020.


If you are a frequent user of Google, you probably know what sitelinks are, if not by name, then by sight.
Sitelinks help searchers by allowing them to go directly to the most popular parts of a site such as the FAQ section, Contact, Locations, etc. From an SEO standpoint, sitelinks help reveal unknown parts of your site to searchers and can help increase the visibility of and traffic to your site. Sitelinks previously only appeared on the first search result however, which didn't really help if you were trying to move up in the rankings.
Until now, sitelinks have only ever appeared on the first search result, and so at most one site could have sitelinks per query. We're now launching an expansion of sitelinks: a single row of links can now appear for results that didn't show sitelinks before, even for results that aren't in the first position. This means multiple results on one query can now have sitelinks. Up to four sitelinks can show up right above the page URL, instead of the usual two columns below the URL of the first result.
Just like regular sitelinks, one-line sitelinks will be generated algorithmically and Google's decision on when to show them and which links to display are entirely based on the expected benefit to users.
Sites will now start showing sitelinks for a number of queries where they previously didn't. Google expects this to increase visibility and traffic.

Our thoughts on everything from what attracts mosquitoes to why you should live life outdoors — and more!
Ingredient Sourcing and Why it Matters
Thursday, January 4, 2018 11:00:00 AM
You may be familiar with the concept that a meal is only as good as the ingredients used to make it. We believe the same is true for personal care products: The quality of the product is only as good as the ingredients that go into it, and this is precisely the reason that we take ingredient sourcing so seriously.
When it comes to our all natural mosquito repellent, where we source the essential oils used in our formula is a big deal. If you know a bit about oils, you know that not all essential oils are created equal. Some aren't in their purest form, and it can be hard to tell the difference between an imposter and the real thing. The purity of the essential oils used in our products is important to us and to our consumers, which is why every time you purchase a bottle of our Bug Protector® Mosquito repellent, you can be confident that it's made with only the finest essential oils available.
Why can you trust us? For one, our essential oils supplier uses a vendor qualification program, in which all of its sources (which span 30 countries) must submit documentation such as product specs, labeling standards and container compliance to meet its uncompromising standards for pure essential oils that are consistent in quality over time. In addition, our supplier validates each harvest and works directly with farmers, all of whom are mindful of good agricultural practices to sustain the field for years to come.
Each of the essential oils we use also undergoes GC/MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) testing, which forms a graph of data and reflects the "thumbprint" of the oil, revealing its purity. The goal is to find that nothing was added to the oil and nothing was removed, as anything otherwise would indicate an adulterated oil. Further, advanced processing equipment is used to quality check the oils and ensure they're among the best.
On our end, we've had to learn and follow product regulations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and we register our product in every state every year. Prior to launching our repellent, we developed 30-some trial versions of the formula as we experimented with the amount of each oil to use, aiming to make the end result both effective against mosquitoes and pleasant to smell.
We chose the four essential oils we did because they're known in part for their natural mosquito-repelling properties. Below you'll see the botanical name, scent, country of origin and method of extraction used for each:
Botanical name: Cymbopogon flexuosus
Scent: Strong, verbena-like
Method of extraction: Steam distilled
Botanical name: Pelargonium graveolens
Scent: Rosy-sweet, green
Country of origin: Egypt
Botanical name: Mentha piperita
Scent: Minty
Country of origin: United States (Yakima, WA)
Botanical name: Cinnamomum zeylanicum
Scent: Clove-like
Country of origin: Sri Lanka
You may notice that steam distillation is used for all four of the essential oils in our formula. It's a crucial process for these botanicals in order to produce a pure oil, with no chemicals involved. The process includes adding steam to release the plant's molecules, which are turned into a vapor before the condensation turns into a liquid. Once in liquid form, the oil and liquid by-product (which is mainly water) are separated, and the oil is taken from there. In essence, a pure essential oil is the liquid form of the plant from which it came. In all of our oil extraction processes, we take pride in minimizing the effects on nature and using no harsh chemicals.
Quality truly does start at the source, and we're committed to ensuring our products are sourced only in the most honest, simple and pure way.

Q: Measuring voltage/current digitally on two separate power supply rails I'm designing a dual-rail DC power supply, with the two rails completely separate (except for sharing a dual-secondary transformer). The main design should work as-is, only by adding a fuse + mains switch, but I want to add a voltmeter and ammeter to each output (and preferably a voltmeter before the voltage regulators, too).
The problem here is that the "meters" will be a microcontroller's ADC inputs (or external ADCs), and the microcontroller only shares ground with ONE of the two rails. I need some way to safely connect the µC to both rails, perhaps opto-isolation or somesuch, while keeping the rails separate.
Don't look too closely at the exact schematic (below), though, as it isn't 100% correct: I couldn't find a dual-secondary transformer in MultiSim; the LM317 package is incorrect and the µC will be AVR-based.
This is just to give the general picture.

Full size image
Now, the problem: I want to measure output voltage and output current for both rails, from the shared microcontroller, which is powered by one of the two rails.
It would also be great to have a voltage probe just before the LM317s as well; that way, I can both monitor the input voltage, and also calculate and display the approximate LM317 heat dissipation.
The voltage measurement would be easy, if it weren't for the floating rails... A voltage divider, perhaps followed by an opamp voltage follower to take care of any impedance troubles, connected to an analog input on the  µC.
As for current, I'm not quite sure. An opamp would surely be needed to amplify the tiny voltage across the 68 mOhm shunts (68 µV - 102 mV for 1 mA - 1.5 A), but I'm not sure how to wire it up, since neither side of the shunt is ground. There's also the issue of offset voltage, not to mention the galvanic isolation issue.
Priorities are simplicity and cost, though needless to say some accuracy is also needed. It would be great to have 10 mV / 1 mA resolution, though something like 25 mV / 5 mA might be OK too.
Any advice on how to solve this? I'm unsure about much of it. I've considered external ADCs (shunt -> opamp -> ADC -> optoisolator -> µC), or shunt -> opamp -> optoisolator -> µC, but that doesn't appear to be a good idea since the optoisolator might muck with the analog reading. Frankly, I don't quite know what I'm doing (though I do feel safe about my knowledge about the PSU in itself), but I'm certainly willing to read up a little to learn.
EDIT: related to a previous question "Dual polarity vs dual rail power supply"

A: The optoisolator -> \$\mu\$C is a viable path if you pick the right optoisolator. The IL300 is an analog optocoupler which, thanks to a servo mechanism, achieves a 0.01% servo linearity.

A: In addition to stevenh's answer, I'd like to suggest 2 more alternatives:

*

*You can have a separate ADC in each of the floating channels.  The ADCs would be linked to the PIC through serial bus (such as SPI).  The bus goes to the floating channel through digital optocouplers, which are cheaper than analog optocouplers.  Once you have an ADC inside the channel, you can make as many measurements as the ADC has got channels without needing additional optocouplers.  This approach was already mentioned in kenny's comment.

*Each channel could have a dedicated PIC.  Each channel with its PIC (and its display, if there are displays) would all float together, and independently of the other channel.  You wouldn't need to install a an analog optocoupler for each signal you want to measure.  Furthermore, the PICs could talk to each-other through serial link (UART for example).  The serial link would go through digital optocouplers.

A: Along the line of stevenh's answer, another choice is an isolation amplifier, like the     HCPL-7840-000E.  It is a little more expensive at around $6, but I think you would end up with fewer parts since you wouldn't need the extra op amps.  It is available in a 8-DIP package,  The input and output sides are designed to be powered off of separate supplies.  It is designed to measure small voltages, so you would need a voltage divider for measuring the output voltage of the PSU.

As far as blind girls go, Marie-Laure is hands down the bravest, luckiest, most incredible you will ever meet. Most of the thanks go to her father, the keeper of keys and locks at a large Parisian Natural History museum. He refuses to let his young daughter despair when she loses her eyesight at the age of six and instead constructs tiny wooden replicas of her neighborhood so that she may learn them by her fingers and then find her way about town with her feet. When Marie-Laure and her father are forced to flee Paris as WWII looms, they seek refuge at an estranged uncle's house in Saint-Malo on the coast of France.
While Marie-Laure is learning her way around her temporary home with her fingers and another small model city, a young German boy named Werner is miles away, using his fingers to learn his way around a rudimentary radio he and his sister found on the streets. An understated orphan (not very Oliver Twist-ian), Werner discovers he has a skill for understanding and repairing radios – a skill that lands him in an exclusive military training school and eventually on a team of men who hunt down Resistance members broadcasting on illegal radio frequencies.
Although the paths of Marie-Laure and Werner eventually cross, All the Light We Cannot See is not necessarily a love story. Rather it is a story of good people trying to continue to be good people in the face of war. It is beautiful – every word. Fans of The Invisible Bridge, Birdsong, and Those Who Save Us will rejoice – All the Light We Cannot See is the World War II novel of the year.

============

Customizable random codes generator to use for example generating giftcards codes

## Instalation
Install using [npm](http://github.com/isaacs/npm):

    $ npm install random-codes

## Usage
You can crete a RandomCodes object with your own config array

```javascript
var RandomCodes = require('random-codes');
var rc = new RandomCodes(config);
```

### Code creation

```javascript
var code = rc.generate();
// >> 'S5RU-1K1U-F77Z'
```

### Code validation
The validation function gets a user input and returns it formatted as defined by the config array

```javascript
var validated_code = rc.validate('S5RU-1K1U-F77Z');
// >> 'S5RU-1K1U-F77Z'
var validated_code = rc.validate('S5RU1K1UF77Z');
// >> 'S5RU-1K1U-F77Z'
var validated_code = rc.validate('s5ru-1k1u-f77z');
// >> 'S5RU-1K1U-F77Z'
var validated_code = rc.validate('s5ru1k1uf77z');
// >> 'S5RU-1K1U-F77Z'
```

### Code masking

```javascript
var masked_code = rc.mask('S5RU-1K1U-F77Z');
// >> '****-****-F77Z'
```

## Config
You can modify any parameter in the config array, the default one is:

```javascript
var config = {
    // A string containing available chars
    chars: "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",

    // Separator char used to divide code parts
    separator: '-',

    // Char used to mask code
    mask: '*',

    // Number of parts the code contains
    parts: 3,

    // Size of each part
    part_size: 4,

    // Function used to get a random char from the chars pool
    // (Please use a better one)
    getChar: function (pool) {
        var random = Math.floor(Math.random() * pool.length);
        return pool.charAt(random);
    }
};
```

Keep in mind that the validate function assumes that you only use upper case letters to generate codes and only checks for '-' as separator.

The Pittsburgh Penguins (39-24-10) went south for a pivotal four-game against the surprising division rival and playoff pursuer Carolina Hurricanes (39-25-7) at PNC Arena, tonight. Last weekend, the Penguins lost two straight games but inched closer to clinching a playoff spot. Despite an endgame in sight, they will have to overcome an Evgeni Malkin injury and a gauntlet of Western Conference teams in their last nine games.
Penguins defenseman Kris Letang could return after a three-week absence. He will be a game-time decision.
Tonight is the first of the Penguins four-game road trip which goes through Carolina, Nashville, Dallas, and New York. The Penguins have earned points in seven of their last eight road games dating back to Feb. 11 in Philadelphia.
Carolina trails the Penguins by three points for third in the Metro and continues to be a surprise after some experts picked them to finish last in preseason polls. After a 7-2-1 record in their last ten games, they are poised to make the playoffs for the first time since 2009. Carolina holds two games in hand on the Penguins but plays only one team with a losing record in their last 11 games.
Matt Murray will start tonight for the Penguins. Petr Mrazek is projected to start for Carolina, but there was no official announcement, Tuesday. Mrazek is 18-13-3 with a 2.52 goals against.
The Penguins capped off a disappointing weekend with 2-1 OT loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, Sunday. Similar to the teams' previous matchup, the Penguins could not hold on to a late lead, and eventually lost the game despite a strong OT. The game was scoreless through the first two periods before Teddy Blueger (4) found the net on a rebound. Blueger centered the second line after Evgeni Malkin was held out with an injury.
The Penguins looked to have the win secured with less than a minute left in action, but a defensive lapse led to a James Van Riemsdyk (25) one-timer to tie the game at one. The teams exchanged chances in the extra period before Sean Couturier (29) rip a shot past Matt Murray to win the game with 3.4 seconds left.
The loss was eerily similar to Philadelphia's comeback against the Penguins in the 2019 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series in Philadelphia on Feb. 23. This fact paired with the Penguins missing out on the extra point made for a somber locker room.
Matt Murray rebounded from allowing four goals against St Louis the day prior with a commendable effort despite the loss. Murray saved 36 of 38 shots and helped the Penguins kill three penalties. Carter Hart started for Philadelphia and saved 41-42 shots. Hart almost singlehandedly won the game for Philadelphia by making some tough saves to keep the deficit at one.
You can read more about Sunday's loss in Dan's Recap and The PHN Extra Report Card.
Carolina padded their wild-card lead with a 4-2 win against Buffalo, Saturday. Carolina had 12 different player score a point in the win, including three defensemen. Curtis McElhinney started for Carolina in net and saved 35 of 37 shots. Linus Ullmark saved 25 shots for Buffalo.
Jake Guentzel leads the team with 36 goals. Just 19 other Penguins have ever scored 40 goals. Guentzel is also two points shy of 70. He'll become just the fifth Penguins player in the last 10 years to hit 70 points. Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Phil Kessel, and James Neal were the other players.
In the absence of Evgeni Malkin, the Penguins will need more production from players like Phil Kessel. The Penguins winger has dressed for 765-straight games prior to tonight. That's the eighth-longest games played streak in NHL history.
I'd move McCann to 2C until Malkin gets back.

My best bet is you hardly heard of the name Benedetto Cotrugli (Italian) or Benedikt Kotruljevic, in original Croatian version.
He wrote in 1458, a treatise Della mercatura e del mercante perfetto or Of commerce and the perfect merchant in English translation, the oldest known manuscript about double-entry bookkeeping system. It is this piece of work that made him the real father of accounting.
Therefore, this diplomat, economist, merchant, and scientist from Dubrovnik (Croatia) is highly accountable that we are talking today about accounting and do startups need accountants.
Do I Need to Hire an Accountant on Day One?
Starting your business does not mean you need to hire accountant immediately. In most cases, you don't require the accountant on day one. If you are not making money you don't need someone to count it, right?
Many small business owners are doing accounting on their own. Tracking key metrics like sales and expenses is simple if you know basic accounting and how to use accounting systems such as QuickBooks, Zoho or Xero. Excel spreadsheets are handy as well for these tasks.
For startups, the most important is to get a customer and then get an accountant.
The need for the accountant is defined on where the business is in its life cycle and in what type of business the startup is.
If you need to get a proper advice and service about getting a loan or if you need to raise money for your startup you should get an accountant on day one.
How Exactly an Accountant is Helping My Business?
Many entrepreneurs ask themselves what to study to become a successful entrepreneur? One of the answers should be accounting. Accounting is the language of business and should be mandatory for anybody in business, let alone for entrepreneurs.
In order to learn a new language, the language of business, you need to invest your time, energy and in many cases financial resources as well. If you don't have any of these resources it is better for you to rely on accountants or those who mastered the language of business.
This is something no one likes but everyone needs. In order to produce meaningful reports and provide a proper advice to business owners, accountants need to choose the right accounting system, set up the chart of accounts and start recording transactions. The vast majority of accountants would favor businesses where this is already done, where they can focus more on giving valuable analysis and value-added advice on how to grow your company.
Despite the fact that cash is the lifeblood of a business — the fuel that keeps the engine running — most business owners don't truly have a handle on their cash flow. Poor cash flow management is causing more business failures today than ever before.
Many business owners don't understand that being profitable is not the same thing as being positive with cash flow. In short, you are cash positive if the inflow of cash is higher than the outflow of cash, measured in the same period. Your financial statements are showing that you are profitable but still you can end up bankrupt if you run out of cash.
Your accountant is monitoring, analyzing and managing your cash flow in order to effectively control all inflows and outflows of cash and ensures you have enough cash to cover all your current obligations and prepares a detailed covering plan for the next period.
As I said before, accountants are speaking the language of business, the same language financiers and investors are using as well. If you are applying for a bank loan or seeking investors you will bring credibility and confidence to the table if your accountant has prepared required financial statements according to IFRS or GAAP.
Not having a finance professional at the table with you during the negotiations you may have trouble communicating your message and eventually end without required funding.
Your business is starting to grow which means you are hiring more employees, increasing vendor list, serving more customers and expanding your market. The growth brings more paperwork you will not be able to handle on your own. To keep track of all these changes and how this is affecting your company you should hire an accountant.
you have enough time to spend it where it matters the most – to grow your business.
It's easy to understand why small business owners might see bringing an accountant to their startup as unnecessary. Small profit margins, little-to-no funding, and a tight working staff mean even the tiniest expense can produce havoc and make or break a company. However, an accountant's work is about more than just crunching numbers, filing taxes and recording transactions.
A trusted accountant is like a year-round business mentor, always delivering the right advice when needed. It's a support for entrepreneurs during the bad times and reassuring one during the good ones.
Considering almost half of all new businesses fail in their first 4-5 years, bringing on experienced financial professional is less of a luxury and more of a necessity.
When do you think is the right time to bring an accountant?


I'm not sure exactly what to change out. I don't think I'll have a chance to playtest it before I go to the event, and I'm trying really hard not to just netdeck this.
Cards I'd love to add: Pepper Potts common (for defense and upping damage done by Miri), Tsarina (obviously), Phoenix - Redd (or the uncommon, for the global to force an attack). I feel like Lyssa is the most easily replaceable, but I like having that extra color out (lantern color) so I can move a 3 cost - actually a 4 cost.
The most obvious I'm looking at taking out are Lyssa, Parallax, and Joker, but... I feel like there will be mirror type matches that he helps in.
I also don't really have any action hate.
But with Parallax... not rolling the BE can just be devastating.
I kind of want to build around the SR battery but I don't know what exactly.
I also feel like I'm just forcing in Lyssa just because she's good.
I know this isn't a great team, but without time to playtest I'm not great at cold-building. It's akin to site-reading music, as opposed to practicing it first. Or composing a song and having to hear it played to know what needs to be fixed, etc... It's a pretty standard problem when doing something creative, lol.
What is your win condition? The only attacker I potentially see is Guy Gardner.
Swap Joker for PXG and I think you can go fast enough to win. Big Entrance needs a 5+dice turn to ever be worth the purchase. And it works best if used to fill an empty bag.
I feel like maybe there should be more of an energy focus to better utilize that Lantern Ring. But I guess that depends on how central the Lantern Battery would be to your strategy.


Objective:To assess the changes of ocular parameters and to evaluate the therapeutic effect after pulse treatment of glucocorticoid in patients with thyroid?associated ophthalmopathy(TAO) based on quantitative ocular muscle structure measurement of MRI. Methods:Eighteen TAO patients were enrolled for 3.0 T MRI orbit scan before and after methylprednisolone treatment. Quantitative measurement of orbital structures including exophthalmos values,fatty tissue thickness of inner side in eye balls,thickness of extraocular muscles with maximum signal intensity and signal intensity ratios(SIR)of extraocular muscles to ipsilateral temporal muscles were compared before and after treatment. Paired t test was used to compare changes of parameters before and after methylprednisolone pulse treatment. Results:After treatment of classical methylprednisolone,exophthalmos values and fatty tissue thickness of inner side in eye balls didin't obviously changed,while SIR of extraocular muscles to ipsilateral temporal muscles,thickness of extraocular muscles with maximum signal intensity and CAS score decreased significantly. Conclusion:Glucocorticoid therapy can reduce SIR of extraocular muscles to ipsilateral temporal muscles,thickness of extraocular muscles with maximum signal intensity in TAO patients. MRI quantitative ocular muscle measurement can evaluate glucocorticoid treatment on TAO.

' CLAYTON A. FISHER, 0F BERWICK, PENNSYLVANIA.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented J al1. 21, 1919.
`Application illed April 18, 1917. Serial No, 163,054.
To all whom z'tmay concern Be it known that I, CLAYTON A. FISHER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Berwick, in the county of Columbia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fountain- Brushes, of which the following is a speciication.
This invention relates generally to fountain brushes, and particularly to a fountain shoe brush, the principle, however, being applicable to brushes for other purposes, and has for its primary object to provide a simple, convenient and useful article for the application of a liquid color or polish to shoes and other articles and comprises a device of few parts, strong, and simple in construction and which upon destruction of the brush by use may be restored to its origi nal condition by the substitution of a new brush head for the one so worn.
Fig 5 is a similar view of the valve slide.
' In the drawings, 10 indicates the reservoir for containing the fluid that is to be applied by the device, this reservoir being of any suitable size, material and configuration but here shown as being of Acylindrical form for the greater part of its length, the larger end being open and having an interior screw thread 11 into which is screwed a cap closure 12. The opposite end of the reservoir 10 gradually curves to a smaller size 13 terminating atthe extremity with a neck 14 through which is' an opening communicating wlth the reservoir 10 and provided interiorly with a screw thread15.
Extending from the neck' 14 is a delivery tube 16 which may be of any length and f' shape desired, but in the drawing it is convemently shown as a quadrant shaped tube having a reduced upper end 17 threaded into the neck 14 and a similar reduced opposite end 18threaded exteriorly and screwed into a neck 19 projecting upwardly from a brush holder 20. The brush holder 20 is in the form of a square block in the under side of which is cut a dove-tail groove 21 that extends from side to side' thereof and to a depth of about one-half the thickness of the holder. Through the center of the holder is an opening 22 continuous with the bore of the tube 16 through which vthe liquid from the reservoir passes to the brush.
which is seated in a shallowdepression or channel 30 in the bottom of the groove 21 in the brush vholder 20 immediately above the dove-tail rib 24 and bearing on said rib.
end of the valve plate op osite the one con! taining the slot 31 is pre erably bent downwardly as at 34 to provide a Enger piece 34 by which the valve may be moved to open andclose communication between the Areservoir and the brush.
In using the fountain brush the valve plate 29 is moved to the position indicated in Fig. 3, the cap 12 removed and the reservoir lled with the iiuid to be applied. After returning the cap, the brush is ready for use. The reservoir being grasped in one hand, the valve plate 29 is drawn outwardly to cause the opening 33 .thereinto register wholly or in part with'the opening 22 in the brush holder, the extent of this movement ofthe valve plate being governed by the degree of iiuidity of the liquid and the quantity needed for application to the article desired. The brush is now rubbed over the article and the liquid flowing through the channels 28 to the bristles will be at onoe spread Ithereover. It the lflow be too great, the valve plate may be closed, whereas if not suicient'liquid is being received, 4it may be drawn outwardly and a larger opening provided for the luid.
'In afountain brush, the combination with a hollow handle constituting a reservoir,'a delivery tube leadlng therefrom, a brush holder connected with the outer end of the tube and having across its lower face a dovetailed groove and in the bottom of said groove a channel, a cut-oii' valve plate slidable in said channel and having a finger piece at one end, its body provided with an opening adapted to aline with the inlet in the brush holder and the bore of said tube, the body of the plate also being provided with a longitudinal slot, and a screw passing upward through said slot into said valve holder; of a brush head having a dovetailed rib on its upper side to t said groove and provided with a cavity adapted -to-register with the inlet in the holder and divergl ing channels leading therefrom and a screw passing upward through said brush head into the holder, all for the purpose set forth. In testimony whereof I 'affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

Ambode spent 7 years in Warri, where he completed his Ordinary and Advanced Levels and had the distinction of achieving the second best result in all of West Africa in the Higher School Certificate Examinations in 1981. He was on the school's Hockey and Cricket teams and was part of the then Bendel State Cricket team while still a student.
Ambode proceeded to University of Lagos where he studied Accounting, graduating at the age of 21 in 1984. He completed his mandatory[National Youth Service Corps year serving with the Central Bank of Nigeria, Sokoto, Sokoto State, where he started his relationship with the Public Service.
After his NYSC year, Ambode commenced his career at the Lagos State Waste Disposal Board (now LAWMA) as Accountant Grade II. He enrolled for Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) exams and at the same time was awarded a Federal Government Scholarship to pursue a Masters Degree in Accounting at the University of Lagos. By the time he was 24, Ambode had qualified as a Chartered Accountant and had completed his Masters Degree programme in Accounting, specializing in Financial Management.
His career was fast-tracked and in 1988, Akinwunmi Ambode was appointed the Assistant Treasurer, Badagry Local Government. In 1991, he was posted to Shomolu Local Government as Auditor. He was later deployed to Alimosho Local Government as Council Treasurer. Ambode was posted back to Shomolu as Council Treasurer and later on to Mushin Local Government as Council Treasurer. He criss-crossed many Local Government Councils in different roles in a 10-year period and got a first-hand experience of the direct impact of governance on the citizenry.
In 1998, Ambode was awarded the US Fulbright Scholarship for the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship program, in Boston University, Massachusetts, USA. His Fellowship Year was spent studying Public Leadership with emphasis on Finance and Accounting. During this programme Ambode had professional internships at The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, the Cabinet Office of Administration and Finance (Governor's Office), City of Boston Treasury Office as well as with the World Bank and IMF.
On his return from the programme, Ambode became acting AuditorGeneral for Local Government. This position was confirmed by the State House of Assembly in 2001.
In January 2005, Ambode was redeployed to mainstream public service as the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Finance. By February 2006, Ambode was given the added responsibility ofaccountant general for Lagos State, in charge of all the financial activities of the state and directly responsible for over 1400 accountants in the state service. Under his watch, the State Treasury Office (STO) revolutionized the way Lagos State finances were raised, budgeted, managed and planned. In his six years as the Lagos State accountant general, the state's financial performance improved visibly with the budget performing at a remarkable average of 85% annually. Ambode believes that "public financial management is about ensuring that public money is well spent and it is made to stretch as far as possible. It provides leaders and public-sector managers with information to make decisions and to know if they are using resources effectively.
Ambode is a very active member of the Federal Government College, Warri Old Students Association (FEGOCOWOSA) and is credited with revitalizing the Lagos branch of the Association. Ambode was a two-time chairman of the Lagos State Branch, and, until recently, was the National President of the Association, a position he held for three years. In those three years, he executed key projects in the school in conjunction with the alumni network to improve the educational and living standards of the students.

Events Announcements #IMSAsiaPacific: EDM Sensation Alesso To Turn It Up In Shanghai
#IMSAsiaPacific: EDM Sensation Alesso To Turn It Up In Shanghai
"Maybe heaven right now is a devil or angel away, that won't change."
It wasn't too long ago that Swedish DJ/producer Alessandro Lindblad, better known by his stage name Alesso, was named one of the "EDM Rookies to Watch" by MTV. Lots of changed for Alesso since then, and he's no longer "the next big thing in dance music" (to quote Madonna), but rather, the big thing in dance music. Till this very day, the duration in which the self-taught took to gain recognition around the world is considered short by many people.
Source: hitsync.net
Alesso has played in numerous major music festivals around the world including Coachella, Creamfields, Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC), and Tomorrowland. In fact, just this year, he cinched a main stage set at Tomorrowland 2016, undoubtedly a big boost to his career. It's easy to forget that Alesso is only 25 years old!
Alesso released in first EP in 2010 but it wasn't until 2011 that he got the attention of one "mafia" – Sebastian Ingrosso of then top DJ/producer trio Swedish House Mafia (SHM). Sebastian had contacted Alesso and later went on to become his mentor, introducing him to DJing and helping him with production The first track that he released with the help of Sebastian Ingrosso was "Calling" (later renamed to "Calling (Lose My Mind) with an additional feature from OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder).
It reached #2 on the Beatport charts.
Later that year, Alesso made the Top 100 DJs list at #70. At that time, he was only 20 years old. A year later, he climbed the ranks and made it to #30 on the Top 100 DJs list. By the time 2013 rolled by, Alesso achieved his highest ranking on the Top 100 DJs list, at #13.
Aside from "Calling (Lose My Mind)", almost every other single that was released by Alesso also went on to make waves including "If I Lose Myself", "Under Control", "Heroes (We Could Be)", and last but not least, his remix of "Pressure" by Nadia Ali, Starkillers, and Alex Kenji, which was one of the most played EDM songs of 2011.
"Everything went really fast. Within a year, I noticed I was getting booked and doing all these shows. . . . I did shows in New York, Miami. It just got bigger and bigger, and within two years I was playing all these major festivals," Alesso once said of his seemingly overnight success. He was the scene's latest sensation and everyone (Calvin Harris, Usher, David Guetta, Theo Hutchcraft) was making a beeline to work with him. The dance music world was his for the taking.
In 2014, Alesso became the second EDM producer to sign with Def Jam Recordings after Afrojack. A year later, he released his debut studio album via the label, titled, "Forever". Alesso said of the album, "It's been an indescribable journey to get this album together. I'm so proud of it, it's very personal to me, it's a dream to me that this has come together and I do what I love every single day. I hope my fans will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it and all the memories and emotions that went into every song. Thank you to everyone who helped me on this incredible journey and this is just the beginning."

Undoubtedly one of the most celebrated DJs/producers of his generation, he will be turning it up this month at the 2016 edition of IMS Asia-Pacific in Shanghai, China. Alesso will discuss how working with local Asian artistes is an important way for him to connect with local audiences.
IMS will also showcase the stories behind some of the biggest stars emerging in Asia, such as Asia's Pop Mandarin Queen and vocalist Jolin Tsai, leading underground Thai DJ Nakadia and 17-year old Chace, who's global profile is rapidly rising after collaborating with Yellow Claw and becoming the first Chinese artiste to ever play Tomorrowland.
Alesso will be joined by other global artistes, thought-leaders, and industry figureheads to explore the growing influence of electronic music and the issues, challenges and opportunities that face the industry globally and in Asia.

Wrinkles aren't the only sign of aging. As you age, your cheeks also lose volume and the skin may sag. That's why a more youthful appearance starts with the apples of your cheeks. Juvéderm Voluma XC is the first and only FDA-Approved injectable gel for the cheek area. Juvéderm Voluma XC is injected under the skin using a fine needle. It can instantly add just enough volume to gently lift the cheek area.


Take a close look at any company out there and you'll see most of them outsource some of their business operations. This is the case because outsourcing is one of those strategies that can help you keep your operational costs as low as possible. Not only this but companies that offer outsourcing services usually excel at what they do, meaning you won't have to worry about the operations you decide to outsource. However, making smart outsourcing decisions isn't as easy as it may seem. And this is where taking a closer look at 3 components of outsourcing can come in quite handy. So, make sure you read on.
No matter what kind of business you're running, outsourcing some of your business operations is a great idea. Still, you'll have to make sure you choose the right operations to outsource. The best way to do this is to think about which of your operations take the most of your time and money. In most of the cases, outsourcing such operations will do wonders for your business. This will free up both your and your employee's schedule, allowing you to focus on your core operations. However, this isn't the only type of operations you'll want to outsource. Sometimes, you'll find your business simply lacking in-house skills in some areas, and you'll need to turn to experts for help. For example, if you don't have a graphic design expert in your company, turning to a graphic design outsourcing company might be necessary. If you're running a small company, you might want to start by outsourcing small tasks at first. This will allow you to see the quality of your outsourcing partner's work without having to risk much. Once you're sure outsourcing will actually help your business move forward, you can start outsourcing other operations as well.
Of course, if you want your outsourcing efforts to pay off, you'll have to make sure you turn to the right outsourcing partner. Luckily, we live in the age of the internet where you can get in touch with an outsourcing company from anywhere in the world. So, once you know which operations you want to outsource, you can start searching for the right company to turn to. Just make sure you have clearly-defined expectations in terms of what they're supposed to do and the timeframe in which they're supposed to complete it. It's always a good idea to gather the names of potential partners from both the web and your business associates. Of course, aiming at hiring companies with a strong reputation is always recommended. Luckily, you can turn to outsourcing companies from anywhere in the world. So, if you're in need of web developing services, you could turn to a web developer platform such as 2Easy who'll be able to get the job done for you. Plenty of large companies out there decide to work with outsourcing companies from Hong Kong, since their experts are committed to their work and getting the job done on time. Interviewing may be the best way to ensure you're turning to the right outsourcing company.
Once you've chosen the company you'll outsource your operations to, it's time to start working with their experts. As mentioned above, it's absolutely necessary that you figure out what your expectations are and make sure the outsourcing company can meet them. On top of this, you'll have to arrange contact with your outsourcing company. It's recommended that you set up a weekly or monthly call, simply to check their progress. Another important topic to discuss is the payment. You'll need to discuss how much will you be due to pay at each stage of the work and what will be the final price for their work. A lot of companies out there even establish a financial penalty, just in case the outsourcing company fails to deliver their work as scheduled. Every once in a while, you'll want to assess your outsourcing partner's performance. That way, you'll be able to figure out whether they've lived up to your expectations and whether you should continue working with them. If they've done well, trusting their work in the future is a real no-brainer. It's also important to mention that you'll need to be aware of cultural differences when outsourcing to a foreign country. Therefore, you might want to do some research before turning to a company from abroad.
Luckily, the world of business has evolved so much that you no longer have to hire full-time staff when in need of top-notch expertise related to your work. Turning to outsourcing experts will save you money and allow you to focus on your core business operations. Just make sure you turn to the right outsourcing company and you'll have absolutely nothing to worry about.

This Is What A Dream Job In The Navy Looks Like
Filed to: Electronic WarfareFiled to: Electronic Warfare
EA-18G Growler
FA-18 Super Hornet
(Screencap from White Scope Media/YouTube)
The VAQ-140 "Patriots" squadron has just returned from an eight-month deployment in the Mediterranean and the Arabian Gulf, where they flew some of the Navy's newest aircraft built for "electronic attack" against ISIS/ISIL in Iraq and Syria. They came back with some breathtaking video footage, too.
Confessions Of A US Navy EA-18G Growler Electronic Warfare Officer
Electronic warfare is one of the most important yet misunderstood components of modern air combat.…
Now I feel obligated to say; in the case that this video makes you join up, your results in the Navy may vary. The actual life of a pilot, or anyone else in the service, is a lot more challenging than this very-chill video might suggest. That said, there's no doubt it has rewards you won't get in any other line of work.
This Doc Shows Why Being A Fighter Pilot Can Actually Suck
900 pages must be memorized in three weeks. A passing grade on the subsequent test is 85 percent,…
The Patriots fly EA-18G Growler jets, which replace the EA-6B Prowler in Navy's the "electronic attack" role. The Growler is based off the FA-18 Super Hornet and looks almost identical, but has a few key differences as explained by one of the pilots who asked to remain anonymous:
"Our wingtips house the ALQ-218 as opposed to the AIM-9X Sidewinder. The ALQ-218 is a complex series of antennae's that help to detect and geo-locate emitters and signals. These devices on our wingtips, combined with a myriad of other antennae's added to our aircraft make up our Electronic Surveillance (ES) suite."
"We carry the ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming Pod underneath our wings as opposed to the bombs carried by a conventional fighter. These jamming pods delay, degrade, and deny the enemy's use of the electromagnetic spectrum. If we can control the spectrum, we can control some very interesting aspects of a modern day war."
"Because we are the newest variant of the Hornet series of aircraft, we have a lot of new toys as well. For example, the APG-79 AESA radar, which is a great piece of tech."
"We do not carry conventional 'kinetic' bombs, as we deal mainly in the 'non-kinetic' regime. But we do carry AIM-120 AMRAAM as our means of self defense in the air-air regime."
"We are also capable of carrying HARM (High speed Anti Radiation Missile) and AARGM (Advanced Anti Radiation Guided Missile). These missiles are designed to seek out threat weapon systems and emitters, hone in on their energy, and destroy them."
Naval-Technology has even more specs if you're not done nerding out.
The Patriots are based out of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in Washington, but spent this last deployment aboard the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Harry S. Truman.
The Truman is a Nimitz-class carrier, first launched in 1996 and commissioned for Navy service in 1998 according to Navy.mil. It set out for its first deployment in 2000 and is currently supporting Operation Inherent Resolve– "targeted airstrikes of Iraq and Syria as part of the comprehensive strategy to degrade and defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL."
The U.S. Navy has permitted these three beautiful videos of the Patriots and their colleagues in action on this Operation which is broken up into three chapters. You can pretty much guess the content of each by its title. Spoiler alert: the jet-flying is mostly in the third video, but it's all pretty fun to watch.
Chapter 1 – "Around the ship"
Chapter 2 – "Meet the Patriots"
Chapter 3 – "The Escape"
For an even deeper look into the life of EA-18G Growler pilots and their mission, be sure to check out Foxtrot Alpha's "Confessions Of A US Navy EA-18 Growler Electronic Warfare Officer." Besides the personal anecdotes there's a lot of insight as to how electronic war has changed, and what it's like to be a part of.

Two long-distance European footpaths cross Luxembourg, following the course of the national footpaths. These are the E2/GR5 European footpath, which links the Netherlands to the Mediterranean, and the E3, which stretches from the Bohemian Forest to the Atlantic. Luxembourg is also situated on the Way of St. James (or El Camino de Santiago), a Christian pilgrimage route. On the 160 km Luxembourg stretch of the trail, pilgrims pass Roman roads and watercourses on the way to sites where the cult of St. James of Compostela is celebrated. These include famous pilgrimage destinations like the basilica that houses the tomb of Saint Willibrord in Echternach, Luxembourg Cathedral and Dudelange Castle, which once belonged to the evangelical order of St. John of Jerusalem.

Those Magnificent Lawyers in Their Flying Machines
Four attorneys on the best way to avoid Atlanta traffic
Published in 2006 Georgia Super Lawyers magazine
By Thomas Kearney on February 16, 2006
The landing gear is in order, the engine looks good and the weather is clear.
The depositions are ready, the witnesses have been subpoenaed and the trial is set.
The precision of a pilot's preflight checklist is really no different from a thorough attorney's research. As in most things, you're only as good as your preparation.
"There's no room for error in flying," says Kenan Loomis, an attorney at Smith Moore, who owns a twinengine six-seater called a Beechcraft Baron. "Your preflight has to be very thorough. The same goes for law. You have to know your area of the law and you have to know your cases thoroughly."
Once the plane is in the air and the trial under way, the similarities stop. A plane is, after all, a machine made up of predictable parts. A trial is made up of human beings. Nothing predictable there.
"You never know what a judge or witness will do," says Jay Bennett of Alston Bird. He owns two planes — a Bonanza A36 and a Piper Archer II. He's had the latter for more than 20 years and says it fits like an old shoe. "But I know that if I reduce manifold pressure to 20 inches and reduce prop RPM to 2300, I will be flying at 145 knots when straight and level on approach. … No guessing or estimating. It works the same way every time.
"Practicing law is more an art than a precision skill," he adds.
Pitts Carr, whose firm, Carr Tabb Pope and Freeman, owns a Cessna 421, maintains that while certain lawyers make good pilots, certain pilots make very bad lawyers.
"On the plaintiff side of the bar," he says, "there's a riverboat-gambler mentality that is completely inconsistent with flying an aircraft. There are daring things you do in litigation to make a point that you wouldn't want to transfer into a plane. Anyone that thinks they're a hot dog, or who has something to prove, has no place in a cockpit."
Lee Davis, a construction lawyer with Griffin Cochrane & Marshall who has also worked as a flight instructor, learned to fly planes on a dirt strip in a cornfield at his father's farm. "[My dad] later leased it out to a fellow who became a flight instructor after he lost his job as a violinist in vaudeville when the talkies came out," Davis says, "and this fellow taught me to fly in vintage Piper Cubs."
As for Bennett — whose son's name is Sky — he has wanted to fly since he can remember. "As a kid I made and flew model airplanes and built a jet engine," he says. "In college [at the University of North Carolina] at Chapel Hill, I made a gyrocopter but was afraid to fly it." So he went to the ROTC and said he wanted to be a pilot, but his eyesight didn't pass muster. That didn't stop him. He rode his motorcycle out to the airport to try his luck there. The lessons would cost $600. "At that time in my life," he says, "they might as well have said $6 million."
But that didn't stop him either. After Harvard Law, Bennett went to work in Atlanta. One Sunday afternoon he was planning a short court hearing in Sylvester. His options were bleak: He could drive four hours each way or fly commercially to Tallahassee, where he'd have to rent a car.
"Instead," he says, "I called [Peachtree DeKalb Airport] and said I wanted flying lessons and my first lesson would be the next morning to Sylvester."
And once you get in the cockpit, pilots attest, you don't want to get out. "You get the bug," says Loomis. "You just want to fly, fly, fly."
For many lawyers the flying is also practical. Carr's Cessna is in use pretty much every week — for casework. "A lot of the places where we're involved there's no commercial service," he says. "You'd spend all day getting to court and all day getting back."
Loomis, who does half of his flying for his firm, says that when he beats commercial airlines door-to-door in the Southeast, the client benefits. "If I have to spend three hours going through Hartsfield," he says, "that's not good for the client."
On good days these lawyers can get double the rush. "The exhilaration of victory in a case," says Davis, "and the exhilaration of aerobatics in a stunt plane or a high-speed fly-by 50 feet off the deck are not to be missed."
The pilot logs hours, the client saves money, everybody wins. It's a passion made practical — with obvious bonuses: "The plane's a means to come home when I'm done working," says Carr, "which is where I want to be when the sun goes down."
There are risks to flying, of course, but most pilots will tell you they've been overblown. "Everybody talks about the harrowing incidents," Loomis says, "because you'd never want to hear about the calm two hours I flew on Sunday evening."
But every pilot does have a tale to tell. No matter how thorough the preflight check, something can go wrong.
"I was in a plane that was loaded with people and documents," says Carr. "And just as I came over the runway, I encountered severe wind sheer and the plane dropped 15 feet instantaneously. … I did everything by the book — full power, flaps up, level flight — but I couldn't build any air speed. There was a hangar at the end of the runway … and we grazed just two feet over that thing."
Lee Davis can match that, no problem.
Several years ago, as Davis and a student were conducting a training flight, the airplane's sole engine quit. Keeping his cool, Davis, whose contact lens had just popped out, announced that he would like to assume control to "demonstrate emergency landing procedures." The student, none the wiser, sat back to enjoy the ride while Davis radioed Peachtree DeKalb to let them know his plane was crippled. The tower agreed to hold all other traffic.
"Never mind," Davis said. "It looks like the only runway we're going to make is GA 400."
And that's exactly where they ended up, barely clearing power lines, swooping low over traffic and rolling to a stop under the Abernathy Road Bridge. As Davis looked around for his contact lens, a police car approached. The student hopped out. "What's the problem, officer?" he asked. "We were only doing 60 knots."
The pilots are trained to be unflappable. They identify the problem — in Carr's case, a flap switch had failed; in Davis', the whole engine — and move on.
"Life is uncertain," Carr says. "One of my favorite quotes is 'The fear of dying can keep you from living, but it can't keep you from dying.'"
Besides, it's not as if pilots have a choice. Once they've flown, they're drawn to the air like birds.
"I'm looking out my window right now," Loomis says, "at this gorgeous, clear day — and I'm definitely thinking about what it would be like to take my plane up."
