NY…This autumn, the New Museum will present the first New York survey exhibition of the work of the German artist Carsten Höller (b. 1961, Brussels, lives and works Stockholm). Over the past twenty years, Höller has created a world that is equal parts laboratory and test site, exploring such themes as childhood, safety, love, the future, and doubt. Höller left his early career as a scientist in 1993 to devote himself exclusively to art making, and his work is often reminiscent of research experiments. His pieces are designed to explore the limits of human sensorial perception and logic through carefully controlled participatory experiences.
The New Museum's exhibition will include work produced over the past eighteen years in an immersive, interactive installation choreographed in collaboration with the artist. Höller will actively engage the Museum's architecture, with each of the three main gallery floors and lobby of the building presenting a focused selection of pieces that demonstrate different experiential dimensions of his work. Functioning as an alternative transportation system within the Museum, one of Höller's signature slide installations will run from the fourth floor to the second, perforating ceilings and floors, to shuttle viewers through the exhibition as a giant 102-foot-long pneumatic mailing system. The exhibition features a new light installation; disorienting architectural environments; a spectacular mirrored carousel; and a sensory deprivation pool, among others. Also included will be a recreation of Höller's Experience Corridor, where viewers are invited to undertake simple but affecting tests on themselves.
The selected works emphasize the experimental quality of Höller's work and reveal the complex universe of one of the most significant European artists to emerge in the past twenty years. Höller came to Left: Test Site, 2006.

Höller stands out among this group for the manner in which his installations drew on the history and method of scientific experimentation to destabilize the viewer's perception of space, time, and the concept of self. In providing this first opportunity for the public here to examine the full scope of Höller's artistic experiments, the exhibition follows in the New Museum's long tradition of introducing the most adventurous international artists to an American audience.

"Carsten Höller: Experience" will be on view from October 26, 2011-January 15, 2012, and is curated by Massimiliano Gioni, Associate Director and Director of Exhibitions, with Gary Carrion-Murayari, Associate Curator, and Jenny Moore, Assistant Curator. Carsten Höller's work is first and foremost concerned with altering our basic assumptions about what we see, feel, and understand about ourselves. Over the years, the artist has employed psychotropic drugs, flashing lights, and architectural alterations to overwhelm viewers with visual stimuli and challenge accepted self-perceptions. For example, the new installation Double Light Corner (2011) uses a sequence of flashing lights to give the viewer the sensation that the space around them is flipping back and forth. Höller also has exhibited a variety of adapted amusement park rides, their speeds slowed until they move almost imperceptibly. His Mirror Carousel (2005) provides riders with a radically different physical experience than the traditional fairground merry-go-round, while at the same time reflecting and illuminating the space surrounding it. In such works, Höller invites us to reconsider the meanings of play and participation. In concert with his giant mushroom sculptures and hyperrealistic sculptures of animals, the artist creates a visionary world that hovers below the surface of what we experience every day.
Höller's art has often taken the form of proposals for radical new ways of living. He has created sculptures and diagrams for visionary architecture and transportation alternatives, like his renowned slide installations and flying cities. These concepts may seem impossible in the present day, but suggest new models for the future. The artist's proposals and structures invite the viewer to re-imagine the social and sensorial possibilities of domestic space. During the 1990s, Höller collaborated with artist Rosemarie Trockel to create structures shared between humans and animals such as pigs, birds, and mosquitoes, calling into question hierarchies of species and the roles of the observer and the observed. Recently, Höller has invited viewers to share the exhibition space with a variety of creatures from reindeer to canaries to mice.
At the New Museum, viewers will be encouraged to test a variety of sculptural experiences. In Höller's Psycho Tank (1999), visitors will float weightlessly in a sensory deprivation pool, providing a strange out-of-body experience. In these scenarios, as in his other work, Höller treats the viewer as the subject and audience for his radical and disorienting experiments.
"Carsten Höller: Experience" will be accompanied by a fully illustrated 248-page catalogue that takes the form of a scientific dictionary with entries covering key themes and ideas in the artist's practice. Co-published by Rizzoli and the New Museum, contributors include New Museum curator Massimiliano Gioni, as well as Daniel Birnbaum, Mauritzio Cattelan, Germano Celant, Lynne Cooke, Hal Foster, Tim Griffin, Jessica Morgan, Hans-Ulrich Obrist, Philippe Parreno, Dorothea von Hantelmann, and others.

About the New Museum
The New Museum is the only museum in New York City exclusively devoted to contemporary art. Founded in 1977, the New Museum was conceived as a center for exhibitions, information, and documentation about living artists from around the world. From its beginnings as a one-room office on Hudson Street to the inauguration of its first freestanding, dedicated building on the Bowery designed by SANAA in 2007, the New Museum continues to be a place of ongoing experimentation and a hub of new art and new ideas.

Norfolk and Suffolk, the core area of East Anglia. Cambridgeshire is to the west and Essex to the south.
East Anglia is a region of eastern England, named after one of the ancient Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, which was named after the homeland of the Angles, Angeln in northern Germany. Its boundaries are not rigidly defined, but it includes the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, with part or all of Cambridgeshire and Essex, and a small part of southern Lincolnshire bordering The Wash. Some of the area is characterised by its flatness, consisting of fenland and reclaimed marshland, though much of Suffolk comprises gently rolling hills. East Anglia forms part of the East of England administrative region.
Arable farming and horticulture have proven very successful in this fertile country. The landscape has been heavily influenced by Dutch technology, from the influx of clay pantiles to the draining of the fens. It has a wide range of small-scale holiday destinations ranging from traditional coastal resorts, through historic towns such as Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and Ely to the modern holiday villas of Center Parcs set in Thetford Forest. The military constructed many airfields during World War II and a few of these remain in use. One, near Norwich, has become a civilian airfield to serve the city.
The Norfolk Broads, now part of The Broads National Park, form a network of waterways between Norwich and the coast and are popular for recreational boating.
The University of East Anglia lies a few miles west of Norwich. Norwich is one of the largest cities in East Anglia, but the East of England regional assembly is based in Essex.
The Kingdom of the East Angles, formed about the year 520 by the merging of the North and the South Folk, was one of the seven Anglo-Saxon heptarchy kingdoms (as defined in the 12th century writings of Henry of Huntingdon). For a brief period following a victory over the rival kingdom of Northumbria around the year 616, East Anglia was the most powerful of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of England, and its king Raedwald was Bretwalda. But this did not last: over the next forty years, East Anglia was defeated by the Mercians three times, and it continued to weaken relative to the other kingdoms until in 794, Offa of Mercia had its king Aethelbert killed and took control of the kingdom himself.
The independence of the East Anglians was restored by a successful rebellion against Mercia (825 - 827), in course of which two Mercian kings were killed attempting to crush it. On November 20, 870 the Danes killed King Edmund and took the Kingdom, which they named East Anglia (see Ivar the Boneless). The Saxons retook the area in 920, only to lose it again in 1015-1017, when it was conquered by Canute the Great and given as a fiefdom in 1017 to Thorkel the High.
Much of East Anglia (including parts of Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, west Norfolk, and Suffolk), consisted of marshland and bogs until the 17th century despite the construction of early sea barriers by the Roman Empire. During the 17th century the alluvial land was converted into arable land by means of systematic drainage using a collection of drains and river diversions.

Drug testing is an important part of making companies safer and healthier. It also contributes to a healthy and safer community.
With the increase in substance abuse reaching epidemic levels, drug testing is more important than ever. Benefits range from direct, short-term savings in health care costs, absenteeism and employer liability claims from on-the-job accidents. Long-term benefits are a more productive workforce with an increase in performance and higher quality work. It is a smart business practice.
It is common for employers to administer drug tests, most frequently pre-employment. Employers also may administer drug tests if they have reasonable suspicion an employee is using drugs, after an accident involving an employee, randomly, periodically and when someone returns to duty.
Other times can include a followup after completion of a rehab program, voluntary, probationary, pre-promotion and return after illness.
The pre-employment drug testing is conducted to prevent hiring employees who use illegal drugs. The most common test is urinalysis. Other kinds used less frequently include breath, hair, sweat, oral fluids and blood. Hair analysis is used when the purpose is to determine a longer period of time, going back as far as 90 days. It doesn't provide evidence of current impairment.
There are companies who specialize in collecting specimen and certified labs that run the tests. A medical review officer is an important part of any drug testing program. That individual has to be a licensed medical doctor with special training in substance abuse. The information should only be accessed by the manager/administrator administering the program and the medical review officer. Even if termination is the result, the reason should remain confidential.
Employers should have a clear, written policy regarding substance abuse, training for supervisors on the signs and symptoms of alcohol and drug abuse and education about the dangers of substance abuse for all employees.
Employers interested in having a drug free workplace will not only utilize drug testing but also offer Employee Assistance Programs to provide help to employees who may have an alcohol or drug problem. Self identification is generally the accepted method of approving time off if needed for treatment. When an employee gets a positive result on a drug test is not the time to then agree to go to rehab. It should be done voluntarily before a drug is found in the employee's system through a drug test.
If the business has a zero tolerance policy, drug testing must be administered across the board for all employees, regardless of position. Businesses starting up a testing program should consult their attorney in writing their policy and ensuring adherence to state and federal regulations. The Department of Labor has an online Drug Free Workplace Advisor to help employers develop and customize their policy. It is prudent to use DOT guidelines even though all of your employees may not be subject to DOT rules.
A comprehensive program will contribute to workplace safety and the health of employees. Word will get around that your business is a drug-free employer and will be a deterrent for users of illegal drugs to apply.
Some applicants and employees will try all kinds of tactics to "beat" the test but almost always fail. Taking another person's urine and placing in cup is detected because the temperature of the specimen is too low."Watering down" the urine test with adulterants is easily detected. Some try diuretics and drinking large amounts of water or other fluid in an attempt to "fool" the test trying to flush out their system.
Individuals and businesses and online sources offer methods to pass a drug test even though the person is a user. None of these methods is 100 percent effective. But because of the attempts by applicants and employees, a company should never give notice of an upcoming test or be allowed to leave the premises after notification of a random test.
Refer employees out of town or who work in the field to the closest drug testing facility where they are. There is a nationwide network of drug testing facilities, in cities and towns large and small.No one should be exempted regardless of their reasoning or excuses. You should always have support of supervisors and managers so they understand the importance of testing and the immediacy of the process. Most companies consider refusal to take a drug test the same as a positive. The most effective policies call for immediate termination on positive results and refusals to take the test.

While it doesn't look as neat and pretty as the picture, it isn't to far off and I will be trying again. The scent of this bubble cake is amazing! The bubbles it produced ensures a long, relaxing bath. I can't wait to try different ones. I'll be trying the lemon one next.

Home / Tech Tips / MIniTool ShadowMaker review: Simple, free image backup
MIniTool ShadowMaker review: Simple, free image backup
by Loknath Das / Tech Tips / 31 Jan 2018
I'm always happy when a program makes backup quick and easy. MiniTool ShadowMaker makes me very happy. Being available in a free version that has all the features the average user needs makes me even happier. I'd say ecstatic, but hey, this is backup, not true love or world peace we're talking about.
1 Setup and interface
2 Free features
3 Pro features are still in beta
Setup and interface
MiniTool ShadowMaker is a 70MB download, and installs with just one process running in the background—its scheduler. As it's a Windows-only program, and creates bootable media in the Windows PE (Pre-install Environment) format, I'm not sure why the company didn't leverage the existing Microsoft scheduling. However, it seems to be fairly common for programs to go their own way instead.
Shadowmaker's interface is clean, logical, and not unattractive.
The ShadowMaker interface is nicely done up in the Windows 10 style. Functionally, it's the tabbed dialog that's popular for step-by-step tasks, and it's exceptionally logical and easy.
[ Further reading: Your new PC needs these 15 free, excellent programs ]
ShadowMaker backs up full partitions and can also clone entire drives. There's no file copy as such, but most users, at least the less technical types, are better off backing up everything. It's a numbing experience to restore a backup and realize that what you are really missing, isn't there. Don't ask us how me know that.
The free version of ShadowMaker performs incremental backup, which backs up any changes since your last backup. This isn't the same thing as a differential backup, which backs up everything that's changed since your last full backup, ignoring any partial backups that might have happened in between. You're free to limit the number of backups. The program will cull older ones to make room for the new ones, actually removing backup "sets," i.e., the full and incremental portions of a prior backup.
Beyond choosing the partitions (drive letters) to back up; you can manage the level of compression; define email alerts and notifications; choose between backing up only used sectors or all of them; decide to shut down the computer post facto; and password-protect the images.
As mentioned, there's also boot media with full restore functionality. If you only need to restore certain files, MiniTool ShadowMaker will mount the image as a virtual hard drive so you can browse it and copy stuff off.
Pro features are still in beta
The relationship between the free version and the pro version that's currently under development is a bit sketchy at this point. There's no pay version on the MiniTool site, just a free beta 3.0 with the pro features. You can see the features that are missing from the free version in the image below or at the product pages online.
These features are available in the 3.0 beta, which will be pay eventually.
One beta/pro feature of interest to the average user is the ability to create full (other than the original) and differential backups. As noted above, a differential backup contains all the data changed since the last full backup, while incremental backups contain only the data that's changed since the last backup of any type. Incremental backups are faster, but differential backups restore faster.
Another significant beta/pro feature is the universal restore, which means you can restore to hardware that's not identical or extremely similar to the device from which you backed up. If your old PC died, for instance, and you want to move the old files to a new PC, this can be important. That said, we often recommend that users take advantage of the clean install on their new PCand reinstall programs, then simply copy the data back.
The beta and pay versions can also back up from remote PCs on the local network, given the proper permissions.

Retro Active: The Ian Gillan-Fronted Black Sabbath
Jason Ferguson
| Pop Life |
Jason Ferguson | December 26, 2008 | 10:53am
Ian Gillan on his brief stint in Black Sabbath
Last week, Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi filed a lawsuit against Live Nation, claiming that one of the promotion behemoth's subsidiaries, Signatures, sold a bunch of Sabbath merch after a licensing agreement expired in 2006. Though the idea of Black Sabbath "jewelry and fashion accessories" (as noted in the complaint) is kinda funny, you can't really begrudge the guy for being super-protective over the Sabbath "brand."
After all, it was Iommi who kept Black Sabbath in operation well after its sell-by date, releasing albums throughout the '80s and '90s that - at least after Ronnie James Dio left - few people paid attention to.
"Trashed"
Hell, for Iommi, the late-'90s reunion with Ozzy Osbourne was less a return to action than another in the many lineup iterations he's shepherded for the last four decades, including the much-maligned (and exceedingly brief) run with vocalist Ian Gillan. For Born Again (1983), Sabbath's first post-Dio release, band manager Don Arden - who had recently lost another client, Ozzy, to his daughter Sharon - thought it would be a great idea to get the ex-Deep Purple vocalist on board. Everyone thought the move was kinda stupid; hell, even Gillan himself thought the whole affair was a bit, uh, ridiculous (see video).
Still, Gillan added a husky shout to Iommi's riffs, resulting in an album that was one of Sabbath's most rocking discs, and also one of the band's most doom-drenched. "Trashed" is the most forthright tune on the record - and one of its catchiest. - Jason Ferguson

Oil crops
Omega-3 canola
We have developed canola that contain high levels of omega-3 fatty acids.
Producing omega-3 oils
SHO safflower
Our reliance on fish stocks for omega-3
Nutritionists have recognised the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids for many years. Omega-3 oils are polyunsaturated fatty acids that are considered 'healthy oils'. Docosa-hexaenoic acid (DHA) is a long-chain omega-3 oil and a key structural component of cellular membranes in the human body. It is vital for early childhood growth and, in particular, brain and eye development. It can also reduce blood pressure and the risk of coronary heart disease as well as stroke, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, inflammatory disease and asthma.
DHA and other long-chain omega-3 fatty acids are made by lower plant forms, including marine plants like microalgae. Some land-based plants, like flaxseed, can produce short-chain omega-3 oils, but are unable to produce the more beneficial long chain omega-3 oils containing DHA.

The awareness of their health benefits and inclusion in diets – either as supplements or used to fortify processed foods – has grown exponentially over the last decade.
Fish, the world's primary source of dietary omega-3 oils, do not create their own DHA, they acquire DHA when they eat microalgae. Fish accumulate high levels of DHA, which in turn can be consumed by humans as a source of DHA. As demand for omega-3 oils continues to grow faster than can be sustainably supplied from wild fish stocks, the race is on to find potential new sources which can satisfy burgeoning consumer demand.
Long chain omega-3 from canola
The production of plants containing industrially-relevant amounts of these marine-type oils has been a long-standing goal of bioengineers.
Using gene technology, our scientists transferred the ability to produce long chain omega-3 oils from lower plants (the marine microalgae that fish consume) into canola, the world's second largest and Australia's largest oilseed crop. This involved introducing a set of eight transgenes which extended canola's short-chain omega-3 synthesis pathway all the way to marine-type EPA and DHA fatty acids. It is the most complex piece of metabolic engineering so far achieved in plants.
The oil profile in the new canola type has excellent DHA levels and a desirably high omega-3 to omega-6 ratio.
By being able to produce long chain omega-3 oils in canola we are developing a nutrient that is important for human health in a sustainable plant resource.
We have shown that it is possible to produce canola oils containing the same long chain omega-3 oils found in fish oil, and at levels that are commercially viable.
Partnering to commercialise long chain omega-3 canola
Omega-3 canola will provide new opportunities for improving human nutrition, reducing pressure on fishery resources worldwide, and will provide Australian grain growers with new, high-value crops. ©
In 2011 we joined forces with the Australian Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) and Nuseed (a wholly owned subsidiary of Nufarm Ltd) to further develop long chain omega-3 canola for commercialisation.
In February 2018 the Australian Office of Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR) announced omega-3 canola has been approved for cultivation and use in animal feed. Food uses of the Omega-3 canola have been reviewed by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FASANZ) with approval granted for sale and use in food in Australia and New Zealand. In addition, omega-3 canola also received USDA deregulation approval for cultivation in the USA in 2018.
The Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) provided financial support to assist in the development of the technology to make the production of the special canola possible and Nuseed is managing global commercialisation.
Ultimately, this research will provide growers with an exciting new variety for domestic and international grain markets.

The short of this tip is basically searching back to your terminal prompt. It's so simple I can't believe its took me this long to find it. The main use for this is when you run a command with a lot of output, you can add a key binding to search back to your prompt so you can quickly get back to the start of this output.
I'm using oh-my-zsh and in my theme I am using the ansi characters ⇒ in my prompt. This is what I am using for searching backwards.
Yea there could be that ansi character in the output of the command but 99% of the time this has been fine. You can add a double space into your prompt to reinforce the search pattern.
Above is the bind-key I have added to my tmux.conf. I have it bound to b so after typing <ctrl>bb the prompt will jump up to the start of the command output.

Home » Syria Turns Its Attention East
Syria Turns Its Attention East
HalalPedia Editor
News From : DagangHalal.com (22 Jan 2010)
DAMASCUS – Last week, President Bashar al-Assad appointed Lamia al-Assi, the Syrian ambassador to Malaysia since 2004, as his country's first woman minister of economy and trade. The dynamic 55-year-old, hard-working and wise, is a breath of fresh air for the Syrian business community.
However, many people read the appointment purely in gender terms, given that she is the third woman in the cabinet of Prime Minister Mohammad Naji Otari, in addition to the female vice president, veteran scholar Najah al-Attar.
A closer look reveals that Assi was appointed for her caliber and Asian expertise rather than gender, as Syria wants to promote relations with the Far East.
Assi, who holds a bachelor's degree in commerce from the University of Damascus and an MBA from the Higher Institute for Business Administration, knows the Far East well, and will certainly play a role in furthering a policy that surfaced in 2005. This encouraged Syria to "head East" and invest in heavyweight countries like India, China, Russia and Malaysia. These nations in particular support Syria's desire to regain the occupied Golan Heights and want to do business with Damascus.
At that time, "heading East" was based on a hard-felt reality; the doors to Europe and the United States remained closed as long as George W Bush was in the White House. Syria had initialed an association agreement with Europe in 2004, yet this was frozen by the European Union under pressure from the Bush administration. Syria had no choice but to look towards the Far East, which was willing to engage with Damascus, with or without approval of the Americans.
Bouthaina Shaaban, former minister of expatriates and now presidential advisor on media affairs, wrote an article outlining this approach, "Perhaps the time has come to bring the Arabs, from a state of complete submission to the hostile West, towards the East and countries that share with us values, interests and orientation." She then asked, "What did we get from the West, to which the Arabs affiliated themselves for the entire past century, except for occupation, hatred and war?"
She made reference to then-Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohammad, who similarly "headed East" towards Japan, Korea and China when reforming his country between 1981 and 2003. Mahathir, who visited Syria in 2003, is famous and admired in Damascus for writing his PhD dissertation on the Syrian economy of the 1950s. The Syrians seemed to be saying that the world did not end at the doors of Washington, London and Paris, and that countries in the Far East could fill in the political and economic gaps left behind by a hostile US and indifferent Europe.
Although relations with Europe and the US began to mend in 2006-2008, and shifted dramatically after Barack Obama came to power in 2009, Syria remains committed to a policy of engagement with the Far East, mirroring the high-profile trip by Assad to Malaysia in 2003, and to India in 2008. This month, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari went to Syria for talks with his Syrian counterpart, while Shaaban went to New Delhi for a three-day trip to follow up on the presidential visit of 2008.
All of that coincides with a concentrated effort to boost political and economic ties with Turkey, a regional heavyweight, whose bilateral trade with Syria stands at US$1.5 billion and which is expected to reach $5 billion, according to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Last December, Syria and Turkey signed 47 trade agreements and lifted visa requirements between both countries, with Erdogan famously telling the Syrians, "Cooperate with us [in economy and business] and we will extract milk, even from the male goat." Trade with China, for example, currently stands at $2.2 billion, while Syrian imports from Malaysia are $119 million, with bilateral trade at $156.7 million.
Kuala Lumpur is where the real gold mine lies, waiting to be tapped by Assi, who is well connected with the Malaysian business community and will likely use her influence and know-how to see to it that Syrian-Malaysian relations receive a tremendous boost.
Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi went to Syria in February 2007. Top officials in both countries know each other well and have constantly promised to upgrade relations, which Otari described as being built on "trust, respect and mutual vision".
In January 2009, the two countries signed several agreements in air services and small and medium enterprise after a Malaysian firm was contracted to upgrade and expand Damascus international airport and build a sewage and industrial wastewater treatment station in Syria.
In 2006, Syria was Malaysia's eighth-largest export destination in West Asia. Most Malaysian exports to Syria are in textiles, clothing and palm oil, while Badawi calls for investing in halal products (those prepared by Muslim tradition), which would sell well in the Malaysian market.
Speaking to Syrian businessmen in 2007, Badawi said, "While Malaysia prides itself as one of the major trading nations in Asia, we recognize that Syria, in particular Damascus, has for centuries been a trading hub in this region and that Syria has a rich history in commerce. We should make the most of our long involvement in trade to develop business linkages between our two countries. Obviously we have not done enough in this regard … lack of understanding of each other's economy could perhaps be the deterring factor."
Perhaps this is where someone like Assi will come in handy. Last October, Syria said that it needed to revisit the partnership agreement with Europe, claiming that the conditions that prevailed when the treaty was initialed in 2004 no longer stood, given the 2008 financial crisis that hit Europe hard. Before jumping into such a treaty with Europe, it would be wiser to boost investment and bilateral trade with countries in the Far East, which would strengthen the Syrian economy in anticipation, perhaps, of signing the agreement with Europe sometime in the near future.

Your Options in Court
PLEADING NOT GUILTY
You will be found guilty to a charge of resisting or obstructing a police officer only if the police can prove beyond reasonable doubt each of the following:
You resisted or interfered with the victim's duties. For example, threatening or preventing by force, and
The victim was a police officer, sheriff's officer, prison officer or any person acting in aid of the victim, and
At the time, the victim was acting in the lawful power of duty
You will be found not guilty in court if any one of the above is not proven by police.
Defences to this charge
You will be found not guilty to this charge if any one of the following apply to your case:
Self defence: You acting in this way because you believed it was necessary to protect yourself, someone else or your property, and that response was reasonable in the circumstances you perceived at the time.
The police officer was not acting in the lawful power of his duty at the time: for example, police officer was not acting within the power of his/her duty where the stop, arrest, search or imprisonment was not done properly. The police evidence needs to be carefully looked at by an experienced defence lawyer to find such issues.
Wrongful identification: you were mistakenly identified for being the perpetrator.
Duress and necessity
Our team of senior defence lawyers are considered leading specialists in criminal law who hold a proven track record of successfully proving innocence in court, and getting charges dropped early in the case. Speak to a senior lawyer now for realistic and practical advice by calling (02) 8606 2218.
If pleading guilty to a charge of resist or obstruct police, the following is important tips and information on how to prepare your case to maximise your chances at getting the most lenient possible outcome in court.
25% discount on punishment
Pleading guilty to a resist and obstruct police charge at an early stage of your case, can reflect your remorse and allow the Judge to give you a discount of up to 25% off your punishment, resulting in a more lenient outcome in court.
Getting quick, reliable and experienced advice early in your case is critical to ensuring you don't miss out on getting the 25% discount.
Good character references
Good character references are letters from people who know your character, expressing your good character, how long he or she has known you for, your remorse and embarrassment in pleading guilty. It allows the Judge to further reduce your punishment giving you a more lenient outcome in court.
Character references can be from your partner, family, friend, charity organisation, and employer. Each one may serve a different purpose, i.e. an employers reference may establish the effect of a conviction on your employment. Our senior lawyers will review and guide you in this process.
Negotiate to drop charges
The charge of resist and obstruct police can, and occasionally does, get dropped at an early stage of the case. Our team of senior lawyers have achieved this on countless occasions after carefully analysing the police evidence, pointing out all the holes in it to police, and then persistent and tactful negotiations.
It's important not to enter the plea of guilty until compelling negotiations are attempted first.
Negotiate facts
The police facts sheet is often one sided, and an inaccurate reflection of what happened, making you look worse than it actually was. This is no surprise as this document is drafted by the police who intend to hand it to the Jude to read right before The Judge decides on your punishment, often causing a more severe outcome.
Your punishment can be significantly reduced giving you a much better outcome by having an experienced criminal lawyer analyse the police evidence, pick out each problem in it, then strategically approach police to change the facts to what really happened, how it happened, and the circumstances of it, putting you in a much better light before the Judge.
Psychologist reports
Getting a well drafted, powerful court report from a highly experienced and respected expert psychologist or psychiatrist can significantly improve the outcome of your case, giving you a much more lenient punishment, including s 10 non conviction.
Our senior lawyers will guide you and arrange the best psychologist or psychiatrist for your case for purposes of a report to express your remorse, contrition, rehabilitation prospects and any mental condition or diagnosis as a powerful explanation for your actions allowing the Judge to reduce your punishment, attracting a much better outcome.
Maximum penalty
The maximum punishment for resisting or obstructing police is a term of imprisonment of up to 5 years if dealt with in the District Court, and up to 2 years if dealt with in the Local Court. This is usually dealt with in the Local Court.
Although the maximum punishment is set, Judges rarely ever give this. They only reserve the maximum punishment for the most serious offenders. Judges will avoid giving a prison sentence where possible, however there are many other options of punishment available, noted below.
The Judge can give you any one of the following types of punishment, which will depend on the above factors mentioned:
If charged with resist or obstruct police, speak to one of our Sydney team of leading criminal defence lawyers in your first free consultation. It's critical to obtain experienced, realistic and practical advice early in order to best prepare to maximise your chances at getting the best possible outcome, including section 10 non conviction.

I don't know if I've ever been so proud of a baked good. These have got to be the prettiest things I've ever baked. A pastry bag and a tip in the right size makes all the difference (if you're wondering, I used a size 6. Size 7 is good, too). They're peach and blackberry and, let me tell you, I went all out. The bottoms had a slice of peach and a bit of oatmeal crumble. Then, I made a peach-blackberry filling for the centers. I used peach flavoring for the frosting, which I wasn't crazy about, but all together, they tasted amazing. I bought the little star sprinkles a couple Christmases ago, but never used them. They were the perfect final touch.
I can't wait for my mom's birthday in a couple weeks. I'm gonna make her some mad cupcakes!
Before you go on, let me tell you something. This was one of the best birthdays I have ever had. No joke, a live band showed up at the beach to provide mood music (it sounded like we were in a beach movie). I couldn't have planned it more perfectly. Also, my friends and family are amazing and it was so wonderful hanging out with them all at the beach.
My friend, Laurel, made me cupcakes, too, but she had to bring them on a bike so didn't get to frost them till we were at the beach. They were rosemary-blackberry with the most amazing chocolate buttercream! My friends Adam & Camille brought me a cupcake from Macrina and my sister-in-law, Mallory, brought a dozen cupcakes from Trophy.You can never have too many, right?
Thanks to my sister, Beth, for this picture.
My husband, dealing with salsa and sand. He hates the beach.
Any chance I get, I buy these little patterned bags. I filled them with salt water taffy, cuz we're at the beach, duh.
Maddie and Tilly manning the fire. Thank goodness Tilly is afraid of fire, so she didn't spend much time near it.
Sigh. How am I gonna top this next year?
happy happy birthday! yummy lookin' cupcakes!
I couldn't believe how many cupcakes there were. It was SO fun and I was sad we couldn't stay longer!
Happy belated birthday lovely! And those cupcakes are absolutely amazing! I actually passed by a Trophy yesterday and thought of you!
So fun! Happy birthday chica! It looks so lovely- glad you had a great time! :) XO!


Before you approach a web designer about a project, you're likely to have a good idea of what you want your site to look like, and what you want it to achieve. Here we identify three key elements to website design that will help you work with your designer to make your site engaging, contemporary, and relevant to your business and industry sector.
Everyone wants their website to look 'good', but what is good? Design is subjective by nature, so what you may think looks 'good', another person may think is 'bad'. Also as your own personal tastes and preferences change, what you may think looks 'good' now, you may find you do not think looks good in 12, 18 or 24 months time.
When thinking about the design of your website, rather than indulging in a personal crusade in the name of 'good' design, we focus on the styling around what you want your customers and clients to feel when they navigate around your site.
Above all else, we make sure the styling is clean, contemporary, and designed in a way that is relevant to your industry sector. From there, we incorporate design features, not vice-versa.
Very simply, what do you want the website to do? It may sound obvious, but it's important to have clear goals as to what you want your website to achieve. The more specific you are, the more effective it is going to be. Doing something as simple as writing down a list on a piece of paper everything you want your website to achieve can sometimes provide a new found clarity, but also saves your time, effort, and ultimately makes best use of your budget.
Following on from the first point on aesthetics, a common error is to judge your website based entirely on your own preferences. Judgement is made on the functionality and usability of your site on how you yourself would react when navigating around it. By discussing your business with you, we gain an understanding of your target audience for the website, and build the design, functionality, and usability around them, to fully maximise the benefit of the website to your business.
If you'd like to speak with us about the above or have any queries, please get in touch – we'd love to hear from you.


I recently thought of adding Font Awesome through their CDN, so I have enqueued this onto my theme's functions.php file.
But I'd like to share the proper implementation for WordPress.
With the Font Awesome CDN, you have the choice to implement via JS or CSS.
What if JS is disabled? It will not work.
CSS file is only ~300b gzipped!
* Enqueue Font Awesome icons.
'create a stylesheet link <link rel="stylesheet"... with the source being our font awesome one'.
This is caused by 'Security issues', something to do with HTTPS on the CDN.
To make sure you never receive 502, use // so that your browser decides which one to go for. The logic goes with: (a) is HTTPS available? If not, (b) use http.
So in this case we have http working because we don't fall into any certificate issues which may probably happen.
To avoid even the 1% chance of probability, let us use //.
Yes, only if you're supporting IE 7/IE 8 browsers, then you'll download twice of the file. It's a browser bug… but then again why complain about ~300b x 2?
When errors show up during your web development, immediately add it to the to-do list.
This is especially true to this error which happens infrequently. But it was an error, not a warning, therefore requires to be fixed.


The Startup Weekend Crew has decided that you deserve a faster / better startupweekend.org site, therefore we will be upgrading our (mt) Media Temple web server.
In case the site will be down during the next couple of days, please do not email us to let us know, as we will already be aware of it. If you insist on doing it, we probably won't receive your emails anyway, because our site will be down and stuff.
If you reaaally feel like letting us know, you can email me about it since I will be the one responsible, but you'd better just save this picture to your desktop and look at it when you feel like you're starting the 'Startup Weekend' withdrawal.
In case you won't notice any change or 404 page, at least you got to see the kitties! yay!
Thank you for your future patience and understanding!

Caregiver caught on nanny camera abusing 94-year-old woman
By Jason Kelly, WFTV.com
A 64-year-old caregiver was arrested after she was recorded abusing a 94-year-old woman, the Clermont Police Department said Friday.
Police were called at about 11 a.m. Thursday to Crane's View Lodge, a senior living community that offers assisted living and memory care, after Richard Bova reported that his mother had been abused by Soebhagwatie Changoer, Clermont police Sgt. Malcolm Draper said.
Bova said a nanny cam that he installed in his mother's room recorded video of the alleged abuse, Draper said.
Investigators said they watched the video, which showed Changoer shaking the victim her by her shoulders and her arms and pushing the seated victim's head down onto her pillow.
Bova notified the facility's management of the incident, and the part-time employee was suspended before police were notified, Draper said.
The alleged victim was uninjured.
Changoer was arrested at her Clermont home and was booked into the Lake County Jail on charges of abuse of an elderly person.

Q: Using range from a column to sum corresponding values My data has two columns.
Column C (Alphabets - A, B, C ...)
Column D (Value - 1, 2, 3 ...).
Each alphabet has its corresponding value.
I am trying to locate two cells (e.g. "G" to "J") from column C to set the range, then use this range to sum the corresponding values in column D (i.e. 7 + 8  +9 + 10 = 34).
I tried VLOOKUP and MATCH. The MATCH code returned Error 2015.
Sub loop1()
    'Dynamic range for cells with data
    Dim LastRow As Long
    LastRow = Worksheets("HU").Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row '
    LastRow1 = LastRow - 1
    Rng = "C1:D" & LastRow1
    matchrng = "C1:C" & LastRow1

    'Locate start cell in data
    alphabet_start = "G"
    locate_start = Application.Match(alphabet_start, matchrng, 0)

    'Determine end cell
    alphabet_end = "J"
    'WIP_end = Application.VLookup(alphabet_end, myrange, 2, False)
End Sub

A: You can achieve what you want using Excel formulas as well.
=IFERROR(SUM(INDIRECT("D" & MATCH("G",C:C,0) & ":D" & MATCH("J",C:C,0))),"Not Found")

To understand this, let's create a basic formula and then break up the formula to understand how it works.
Let's say, your worksheet looks like

So what we want is =SUM(D7:D10)? So let's break this up.
The formula can be broken up as =SUM("D" & "7" & ":D" & "10"). Do not yet directly enter this in the cell. It will not work. Ok next thing is to make it dynamic so that we can get the 7 & 10. Now 7 is the position of G and 10 is the position of J which we can get using MATCH. For example
MATCH("G",C:C,0) and
MATCH("J",C:C,0)

So the formula can now be written as
=SUM("D" & MATCH("G",C:C,0) & ":D" & MATCH("J",C:C,0))

"D" & MATCH("G",C:C,0) & ":D" & MATCH("J",C:C,0) is just a string at the moment. You have to use INDIRECT to tell excel to consider it as a range. So the string now becomes
INDIRECT("D" & MATCH("G",C:C,0) & ":D" & MATCH("J",C:C,0))

and then putting it inside the SUM formula.
SUM(INDIRECT("D" & MATCH("G",C:C,0) & ":D" & MATCH("J",C:C,0)))

One final thing. The MATCH can return an error if no match is found so we can tackle that using =IFERROR(FORMULA,"ERROR MESSAGE")
So we get our final formula
=IFERROR(SUM(INDIRECT("D" & MATCH("G",C:C,0) & ":D" & MATCH("J",C:C,0))),"Not Found")

one more question.. if i want to present the sum in another sheet in the same workbook, how should i change the formula?

Let's say the data is in Sheet1 so the formula in another sheet will look like

Human beings do not want to die; we spend infinite resources to sustain life, without regard to cost or quality. And yet we do die. Facing terminal illness and unprepared for death, we can feel abandoned by both secular and faith based institutions, whose focus on restoration can fall short of the wisdom and grace needed to embrace a holy death as a part of life. Ellen Richardson hopes to change things by offering stories from her work in hospice and palliative care, and the rich resources of the church's Scripture and tradition, to create safe space for exploring questions we carry about dying. Her book is intended for individual readers, and to be used in group, workshop, or retreat settings within the church, so that practices of prayer and healing can become once more a source of comfort and strength, not simply tools of defiance against illness and weakness. No amount of faith will buy immortality for earthly bodies, but death need not be a time of failure and isolation. Holy Dying helps us lay claim to our scriptural stories as hard teachers of our mortal heritage.
They did not ask, "Where is the LORD, who brought us up out of Egypt and led us through the barren wilderness, through a land of deserts and ravines, a land of drought and utter darkness, a land where no one travels and no one lives?"
Several years into what I thought would be a lifetime career as a rural family physician, I came to believe that much of what was brought into my homey solo practice and laid into my lap over the years was a kind of suffering for which I did not have a ready balm. There was physical illness to be managed to be sure, and I tried to offer advice and guidance to help my patients stay as healthy as possible in the face of burdensome illness. Most of my energy, however, was consumed by trying to care for problems of a more challenging sort. The joyful office days were filled with well babies, routine check-ups, medication refill visits, mild contagious diseases that got better, and good catch-up conversations usually about hunting, fishing, upcoming holidays, or grandchildren. The harder days were marked by a pervasive sense of brokenness: patients who could not manage to take their medications, check their blood sugars, get any sleep, leave abusive relationships, stop smoking, or even attempt to exercise. Their chronic conditions provided the diagnosis code for their visits, but it was the headaches, the back pain, the chronic coughing, and the indigestion that brought them in. The underbelly of the presenting symptoms was lined with grief, sorrow, loneliness, depression, marital and family discord and dysfunction, alcohol or drug addiction, troubled children or grandchildren, difficulty on the job or unemployment and financial distress, or just the mounting weight of being overwhelmed with life as they knew it.
I could offer a medical test, a prescription, a referral to a medical specialist or a counselor, and a sympathetic ear — mostly they came in to be listened to. I began to see that all my sincere offers of insight, context, and perspective fell short of the mark, and that I was not really able to help in any fundamental way; I could not make them better. Opportunities to explore root causes of psychosocial distress were generally declined in favor of a search for root causes of physical illness, so instead of being able to offer healing, I offered blood tests, CAT scans, prescriptions, and referrals. The search for a "real" diagnosis, the identification of the precise place where the body had failed, became the focus of attention. With due diligence I used all my powers of knowledge and experience to find a disease, to give it a name, and to access every means, therapeutic, pharmacologic, or technologic, to eliminate it. Still, most of the time, I could not make them better, if better meant wholeness of body, mind, and spirit.
And then, some of them got really sick. Sometimes it was that chronic condition suffering for lack of attention that got away from them. The high blood pressure became the heart failure became the kidney failure or stroke. Sometimes it was the unexpected "out of the blue" rare disease — usually cancer — that rocked their worlds in that "I never thought it would happen to me" way. The nature of the threat would call for a specialist; I would refer the patient, and then be relegated to the side wings of the stage while a stronger magic was sought for and delivered by "experts" whose authority and credibility increased with the geographical distance from my small town. Patients whom I had considered "mine," in my small primary care practice, belonged for a time to the specialist(s), and while they suffered every effort to prolong their lives threatened by terminal disease, I waited for them to come home.
Usually they did come home, and some of them taught me something remarkable about dying that I had never learned in medical school or training. When all medicines and treatments had run their course and were exhausted, when patients were often the most uncomfortable, the most weak, the most anxious, and the least able to maintain their defenses, an unbidden grace would surface, creating openings in their lives and relationships, making room for repentance and forgiveness, and for healing — even as their bodies were failing.
Where did that grace come from, and what was it about the project of facing death that called it forth? Which people paid attention to that grace and which ones denied and declined it? What was it that allowed some people facing their final weeks and days to finally see what was important in their lives and to attend to their unfinished business? What kept others from this path that seemed to lead to a spiritual peace in the setting of a failing body? What was I missing in all my efforts to "doctor" my patients? I wanted to harness this healing power and offer it to everyone who was struggling, as if I could write prescriptions for grace, repentance, or forgiveness.
My identity as a physician slowly evolved through the many stories in my career from one of director of the production, as I believed myself trained to be, to one of witness and companion to those who suffered. I suppose this shift in identity smoothed the way to the eventual transition from doctor to priest. At first this was uncomfortable, and encompassed an acknowledgement of failure to really fix things, for I was long and dutifully and expensively educated for many years of my life to do just that — fix things. Over time and experience, especially with dying patients, I saw that "fixing" role begin to unravel; I stepped back for a wider view, and began to un-learn what I thought I knew about healing.
One of my earliest teachers was Robert; he was my first-ever hospice patient. A transplant to the Deep South, a child-follower who after retirement moved from Chicago to live with his daughter and the sweet Southern boy she married. Robert was intelligent and feisty, thin and polished and a fish out of water, but the family bond was strong and Robert's daughter and sonin-law brought him into their home.
Robert had a delightful talent with skills he had honed over years of his life. He created tiny panoramas inside eggshells — whole miniature worlds inside eggs of all sizes from every imaginable species of bird or fowl that had laid them. Every one I saw was an exquisite work of unimaginable patience and skill; some of them even included tiny artificial lights inside the finished tableaus, running off of tiny batteries. These were no seasonal bunny cutouts in sugared shells; these were works of art and craft like I have never seen since, except in a museum.
Robert had enjoyed his retirement and practicing his art in his daughter's home, which had been remodeled to provide a studio filled with stacks of tiny drawers filled with the miniscule objects he placed inside the eggs and around the edges of their openings. He was a gracious person and was generous in showing off his treasures and works-in-progress. He had been blessed with good health and had stayed active and trim for much of his life, most of which was spent working in automobile manufacturing plants in Michigan. When he began to develop symptoms that lead to a diagnosis of a stage IV cancer with a prognosis of less than six months, I would have expected one so committed to the smallest details of his art to have researched and attacked his cancer with the same diligence. I would have expected him to find a specialist to guide his pilgrimage towards healing himself of this intrusive and objectionable interruption in his life, just when he was beginning to really enjoy retirement and make new friends.
Robert did approach his cancer with attention to details, but without the shock and subsequent emotional desperation that was familiar to me. He kept himself aware of his disease progression, was particular about his symptom management, and would only accept disease-directed treatment that had great odds of helping him, and small odds of making him miserable; he said yes to radiation, and no to chemotherapy, which in his case had little chance of offering him extended time with the quality of life that he wanted. Instead, Robert concentrated on who and what he loved and conserved his energy for his art. He got his affairs in order, talked openly about dying, and became a pioneer patient in a small south Georgia town for a new medical service called hospice. He went about bringing to life those ideas still in his imagination — unfinished work in eggshells of every size and shade of ivory that sat still in their pristine forms, like blank canvases cushioned in straw. He worked in his studio every day, until he was too weak from his illness to sit up for long. When he began the dying phase of his illness, he was calm, at peace, and full of gratitude for his life.
I do not remember Robert using language that was particularly religious; I doubt if he ever used the word "healing," and yet he saw his life as part of a greater context in which he was only a part, and not the central fulcrum. I do not remember any stories he might have told about his life before I knew him, though I am sure he carried as many stories as most of us. He did look forward to reuniting after his death with people he had loved who had died before him — his wife, and a brother. I do remember that he did not seem to be afraid of dying, something that was rare at that time in my professional life and experience.
Robert, and many who came after him, taught me that healing was not something I was to conjure up and present to my patients, but something that comes from within each person. Healing is not rendered in the pursuit of the diagnosis, or the treatment of it, as my doctor brain had been trained to believe. Healing comes from the heart of one who is open to believing in something greater than self, one who sees the cycle of human life as part of a greater whole, one who believes in "a God who is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness" (Exodus 34:6). As I have grown in my understanding and authenticity to speak of spiritual matters, I have come to believe that healing is the breath of God that falls on each of us, just as the sun and the rain. It is a mercy that is not wanton or wasteful, but waits for each of us to recognize its presence when we need it most, on those harder days when hopelessness and brokenness seem to be the order of the day. This healing is that thing we are all looking for and do not know it. It is that thing that makes the difference — not between living and dying, but between dying in stress and anxiety and dying in peace.
How can we recognize healing in ourselves and in others? Is healing something that we can promote or just recognize and accept? Does it require specific requests in prayer? How can we embrace an understanding of healing that is deeper and more powerful than just restoration to a life without illness or brokenness?
The sparrow has found her a house and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young; by the side of your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King and my God.
Much of the life of a small town doctor is like any other life: a balance of home and work, schedules and schedule adjustments, routine and crisis, frustrations and satisfactions, and relationships, both professional and personal, most of which are connected to other relationships. In my solo family practice the wonderful people who ran my office knew everyone in our town, who they were married to or related to, and sometimes who they used to be married to, and this gave me not only a needed heads-up with my own patients, but a deeper appreciation for how complexly woven any one life could be. It was my great joy to care for newborn infants and great grandmothers, siblings in preschool and siblings who were grandparents themselves. Family was a concept that extended far into the community, encompassing partners, neighbors, long time coworkers, church members, in-laws from long-dissolved marriages, and assorted indefinable relationships — from the previously estranged offspring to the long-term paid household helper evolving into compassionate caregiver.
I had always made home visits to see patients since first introduced to the idea in family practice training. Unfortunately this practice of visiting patients at home has become rare, as the constraints of time and economy do not make home visits practical. It is also understandable that some people might decline home visits for reasons of privacy. However, for someone ill and unable to be transported by caregivers to a clinic or office setting for non-emergency care, a home visit was a convenience to the patient, and in most cases a great blessing of hospitality to me. These visits on the patient's turf are naturally more patient-and family-focused than can be accomplished on "health care" turf. They can involve family pets, curious toddlers, and almost universally the competition of the television playing in the background. At home, it is easier to see caregiving challenges, including the physical barriers to safe care that might be overcome with options outside of the family's imagination, or that might not have been mentioned in the office visit, for fear of making the patient feel a burden on her family. A home visit is also a more open window into the person who is distilled in the medical office to "an appointment," expediently represented by a chart of medical history and lab values. At home, the old photographs on display, the handmade quilt on the bed that was handed down from a great-grandmother, the flower garden and bird-feeders outside the window, the offer of a cup of tea, all become gifts to be opened to a deeper understanding of who it is that needs care, and how that care can best be offered. I have visited homes where I was expected to remove my shoes at the door, and had a sense that I was contaminating a pristine environment; I have been in homes where I quickly sized up whether it might be safe to sit down on furniture that looked salvaged from the side of the road. Mostly, I was welcomed, and honored to be invited in.
Home is a concept with profound cultural and religious significance throughout the ages; the place where we take our rest from the world, where we prepare, eat, and even grow our meals, where we keep our stuff, and when asked, where the majority of Americans would choose to die. Home can be a quiet sanctuary, or a loud, crowded multi-generational, multi-language dwelling full of siblings, cousins, babies, animals, and elders. Depending on our social and economic privilege or our cultural orientation, home can be a place of permanency and identity, or a series of spaces we take on and discard along a grander plan of work or progressive prosperity. To an immigrant family, home can be two rooms in the basement of a distant relative or acquaintance. To the elderly who can no longer care for themselves, home can be the space between a hospital bed in a shared room and a wheelchair in the hall. To the homeless, home can be something irretrievably lost. Our history, experience, and memories of home have much to do with how we think about being home in this world, and how we think about our hope for an eternal home with God.
Our biblical stories offer a spectrum of concepts of home. Eden was the perfect home from which Adam and Eve were banished for wanting more than everything they needed. Noah made home in a boat, a crowded place of redemption. The people of Israel longed for home through multiple episodes of exile, willing to follow Moses for a generation in the desert to get to a home they believed was chosen especially for them by God, a promised land that was already a home to others. In the earliest gospel story, Joseph and Mary made a home for their newborn Jesus in a stranger's stable and then fled to make a home of safety in Egypt, away from family, friends, and the familiar. In the last years of his life, Jesus moved in and out of Galilee, and spent his ministry being taken into the homes of others. In one of the parables told by Jesus, home is the open arms of a father running down the road to greet his prodigal son.
Home, in our story as people of God, is more than a place of refuge or identity; it is the place where we are most aware of God's presence and guidance, and most accepting of God's love and protection. At times in our journeys, the earthly structures and shelters in which we live, work, and worship, however humble or grand, can represent this place for a time. Sometimes we have only our own bodies to call home, wherever they carry us in health or in sickness. Within us we carry always the deep mystery of the Child called Emmanuel, "God with us," who knew only a manger in which to lay his head.
