From transportation to healthcare, service systems make our lives easier and more productive on a daily basis.
New technologies that learn from data are bringing intelligence to service systems, allowing them to center on people by incorporating individuals' feedback and input. These systems create more value through adaptive and individualized interactions. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has invested $10 million in such systems, supporting innovative new partnership projects to create service systems that are smart and human-centric.
The interdisciplinary projects will engage academia and the private sector in highly interactive collaborations. Partners will advance, adapt and integrate novel smart technologies for service systems in ways that dramatically improve performance.
"Smart, human-centered service systems offer unprecedented new economic opportunities and societal benefits, whether to an individual seeking personalized medical care or to a utility company managing energy demands," said Pramod Khargonekar, NSF assistant director for Engineering. "Bringing new technologies, and new system design thinking and human factors together can lead to services we are just beginning to imagine."
Several of these three-year, $1 million projects tie into NSF's investments in smart, connected communities, whether through energy, healthcare, environmental or other services.
"Partnerships between academia and industry supported through these projects can help to translate innovative research and emerging technologies into smart service systems, which will help to enable smart and connected communities of the future," said Jim Kurose, NSF assistant director for NSF's Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering.
Smart service systems utilize data to learn and adapt, and to facilitate decision-making in order to improve how they respond to future situations. Such systems may recognize patterns and preferences to improve performance.
These adaptive capabilities are made possible thanks to emerging technologies for sensing, coordination, communication, control and other purposes. New detection, classification and localization technologies also help make service systems smarter.
By definition, a human-centered service system interacts with people--end users, recipients, beneficiaries, providers and/or decision makers--as it operates. These interactions must add value to people to be considered a service.
This year, NSF funded 10 Partnerships for Innovation: Building Innovation Capacity (PFI:BIC) projects for smart, human-centered service systems:

Cyber-physical service system for 3-D printing of adaptive custom orthoses: Albert Shih of the University of Michigan, principal investigator.
A cost-effective accurate and resilient indoor positioning system: Bruno Sinopoli of Carnegie Mellon University, principal investigator.
NSF's fiscal year 2015 investment in PFI:BIC is a collaboration among the directorates for Engineering (ENG), Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE), and Geosciences. In fiscal year 2014, ENG and CISE funded 11 PFI:BIC projects for smart service systems.
Investments from the PFI:BIC program were announced as part of NSF's commitments at a White House event today launching the National Smart Cities Initiative.

For whatever your specific project, at Matthews Design there are many similarities in the process. Every project begins with an initial consultation meeting. For the majority of projects this consultation is free of charge and should be set up after you have had a chance to read through the website and make any notes and questions you may have. From our Site Visit and meeting, Matthews Design would complete a Proposal of Architectural Services as it would apply to your specific project. At your approval of the Proposal, Matthews Design would then move through the process starting with Review and continuing onto Field Measure/As Found Drawings, Sketch Design, Working Drawings and Approval. At Matthews Design we also lead into Minor Variance (Committee of Adjustment) and Conservation Authorities as this may be required for your specific property or project you have planned.
For this phase Matthews Design will consult with the local officials and regulating agencies to determine all zoning requirements, existing easements/encroachments, conservation/environmental impacts, laws and bylaws regarding your property.
For this phase of the process it will depend on your specific project but Matthews Design will measure the existing house to produce as-found drawings in AutoCAD format, including foundation/basement, main floor, second floor, roof plan and exterior elevations as necessary for your project.
For this phase of the project we will produce computer generated sketch floor plans and elevations incorporating your criteria into design concepts. This is an important phase requiring input from you to sort through the design concepts and to provide the approval and sign off on a final design.
The final sketch design is transformed into a full set of working drawings adding the required structure, building and wall sections picking up details, notes, dimensions and finish materials.

Bullpen great again, Indians top Blue Jays for 3-0 ALCS lead

TORONTO — Andrew Miller and the Cleveland bullpen stitched together their most impressive feat yet in these American League playoffs.
Taking over in the first inning after Trevor Bauer's bloody exit, the relief corps held off the Toronto Blue Jays in a 4-2 victory Monday night that moved the Indians within one win of their first pennant since 1997.
Jason Kipnis and Mike Napoli homered for the Indians, who have a 3-0 lead in the AL Championship Series. They are unbeaten in six playoff games this year and can complete their second consecutive sweep on Tuesday.
Six relievers combined for 25 outs and 128 pitches, limiting Toronto to two runs and seven hits. Miller got four outs for the save.
"If anybody has a hiccup, we probably lose," manager Terry Francona said. "They all made pitches against some really good hitters."
Indians ace Corey Kluber is scheduled to start Game 4 on short rest after Bauer's drone-related finger injury created more upheaval in a rotation that's been short-handed all postseason. Bauer faced four batters before getting pulled when his stitched-up right pinkie began dripping blood.
Enter those stingy relievers, who pitched the Indians to a Division Series sweep over Boston and have them on the verge of another. Cleveland is one win from its sixth World Series appearance.
"It's a good feeling," Kipnis said. "We've still got one more to get there, and it's going to be tough. We know these guys. Just kind of like the Boston series — we don't want to wait around for them to figure it out. We want to get to them now."
After Bauer left with two on and two outs in the first, the final 25 Toronto outs were distributed as follows: four each for Dan Otero and Jeff Manship, three for Zach McAllister, five each for winner Bryan Shaw and Cody Allen, and four for Miller.
"We felt like we had an opportunity with some of their lower-leverage guys coming out of the bullpen, but they've got good arms," Toronto outfielder Kevin Pillar said. "It makes it tough when you're facing a different guy every inning, every at-bat."
The hard-hitting Blue Jays have mustered only three runs in the series and have never led.
Kipnis led off the sixth with a home run to right-center field for a 3-2 edge, and Jose Ramirez added an RBI single. Suddenly, the Indians were just a few outs from being able to turn the game over to Allen and Miller.
They appeared in that order, yet another instance in which Francona — who was Curt Schilling's manager with Boston during the famous bloody sock playoff game in 2004 — maneuvered his bullpen unencumbered by rigid roles.
Allen, who usually closes, entered in the seventh with a runner on and nobody out. A two-out walk to Jose Bautista put the potential tying run on, but Josh Donaldson's liner to left field stayed up long enough for Coco Crisp to make a sliding catch.
Miller fanned three of five batters, giving him 20 strikeouts in nine playoff innings this year. He's allowed five hits over 17 1/3 scoreless innings in his postseason career.
"We knew that we could do this, where we could piece together bullpen arm by bullpen arm and go one inning, two innings and still get a win," Kipnis said. "We've done it before. We have the experience."
Cleveland has won nine straight dating to the regular season.
Napoli entered 2 for 18 this postseason and in an 0-for-25 slump against right-handers dating to the regular season. He opened the scoring with an RBI double off righty Marcus Stroman in the first — Napoli's long fly popped out of Bautista's glove before both the ball and Bautista bounced off the wall in right field.
Bauer made it through only 21 pitches. He'd been pushed back two days to Game 3 after cutting his finger last week repairing one of the drones he enjoys flying as a hobby. He received stitches and tried to pitch, but couldn't make it through the first inning without blood dripping from his hand.
"Trevor got a little leak," Kipnis said. "A couple of us had seen the wound kind of inside and knew it was a possibility of happening. He can deal with the pain, but it's getting something like that to close up. It's hard to do in a short amount of time."
It's yet another injury problem for a Cleveland team that couldn't include starting pitchers Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar on its ALCS roster. Even with the Indians up 3-0, their rotation for the rest of this series isn't a sure thing. Kluber is set to come back for Game 4 (and presumably a potential Game 7) on short rest and lightly used rookie Ryan Merritt is lined up for Game 5.
Michael Saunders tied it for Toronto with a solo homer in the second, matching the scoring total by the Blue Jays over the first two games in Cleveland. Napoli's solo homer in the fourth put the Indians up 2-1, but Ezequiel Carrera led off the Blue Jays fifth with a triple and scored to tie it on a grounder by Ryan Goins.
Kipnis answered with his first hit of the series, a home run that put Cleveland back ahead. And after Napoli drew a walk from Stroman and advanced to second on a wild pitch, Jose Ramirez added an RBI single off reliever Joe Biagini.
"Tito did a masterful job running that bullpen today," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "They shut us down."
Bauer's problems were the big story Monday, but Francona did say Salazar (forearm) was progressing well after throwing to hitters Sunday night.
Kluber has never started on three days' rest in his major league career, but Francona said before Monday's game that was the plan for Game 4 if Bauer had problems with his finger. Toronto will start AL ERA leader Aaron Sanchez, who allowed six runs in 5 2/3 innings against Texas in Game 3 of the ALDS.

Alan Colmes Teaches Liberals That Dead Baby Jokes Are Neither Funny or Appropriate Political Discourse
Posted on January 2, 2012 by Kempite
Most people probably only know who Alan Colmes is when they are reminded that he was the liberal sidekick to Sean Hannity on what use to be the Fox News program called Hannity and Colmes.
Colmes got sick of being ideologically and personally overshadowed by Hannity and eventually the show became known as "Hannity" and Alan Colmes tried to make a difference on his own.
He didn't.
But he is still trying. Which is why today during an interview regarding the Republican presidential race, Alan Colmes tried to mock Republicans based on the ever changing frontrunner status of their candidates. Colmes tried to claim that the G.O.P. field is an extremely weak one and everytime the spotlight gets focussed on one of them, they can't stand up to the scrutiny.
Colmes then claimed that Rick Santorum is the most recent example and added that when people find out that he took home his dead baby and played with it for two hours, they will find that Santorum is too weird for their liking. [ See the actual interview below this post.]
Colmes actual words were;
"Once they get a hold of the crazy things he's said and done like taking his two-hour old baby who died right after childbirth home and played with it for a couple of hours so his other children would know that the child was real."
The reference was to the Santorum families painful loss when Rick and his wife Karen were told by their doctor that an ultrasound revealed their unborn baby Gabriel had a fatal defect and was going to die.
But Gabriel was born alive;
Santorum once reflected on the personal, family tragedy by saying;
"For two hours he lived a life that knew only love."
The same Fox News segment that hosted Colmes during his ugly remarks, also had National Review writer Rich Lowry on and after Colmes made the outrageous statement, Lowry took Colmes to task and stated;
"That's a cheap shot, Alan. To say it's crazy, something that's that personal and hurtful as losing a child and to mock it like that is beyond the pale and beneath you. I even think some of the dastardly characters we have in the main stream media are not going to go as low as you just have Alan."
Colmes defended his statement during the rest of the interview and stuck to his guns claiming that his remarks were perfectly legitimate commentary. But by late 8:00 pm, Colmes liberal brain finally caught up with his mouth and he phoned the Santorum's to make a formal apology and he tweeted the following:
Rick and Karen Santorum may have accepted the apology and ultimately that is all that really matters. But I have to tell you that I am unfortunately not so easy to forgive. It is not impossible for me, especially since I know that I myself am in need of forgiveness when I demonstrate my own lack of judgement. However I am not going to be able to easily forget the tactic that Alan Colmes tried to get away with here.
It was another fine example of just how truly ugly liberals are willing to get in this election. It is clear to me that with a President representing them at the top of the ticket, with a record Democrats can not run on and in many instances will have to run away from, they will have no qualms about resorting to some of the most despicable and disgraceful tactics that we have seen in presidential history. Their tastelessness will not prevent them from doing anything it takes to win, be it mocking ones faith……something that will be of particular importance if Mormon Mitt Romney wins the nomination, to dead baby jokes, nothing will be off limits to the mainstream liberals like Alan Colmes who represent today's Democratic Party.
Ultimately, if Rick and Karen Santrorum can forgive Alan Colmes for his unbelievably outrageous comments, than we all can. But like the symbol of our Party, we don't ever have to forget.

Behind the Wooden Door by Emily Godwin – Ginna Moran—Author of Young Adult Paranormal, Fantasy, Contemporary, and..,Your Next Book Boyfriend.
Behind the Wooden Door swept me away to a faraway land where two kingdoms were at war, and Princess Lanie's life took a quick turn for the worse as she found herself fighting to save her world as things fell apart.
I loved escaping to a world with faraway lands, and a Princess who must watch as her kingdom goes to war with a neighboring kingdom. It was fast-paced and captivating, and I enjoyed Princess Lanie's journey from sheltered princess to strong heroine. The love story had me turning the pages, anxiously awaiting for what was to come. It was easy to fall in love with hired assassin, Tristan, just as Lanie did as he fought to protect her kingdom. Without spoiling anything, Emily Godwin hit me in the stomach with a ton of mixed emotions, and at one point, I might or might not have cursed at the book. Any book that stirs the emotions in me is a good book. Emily Godwin did just that.
The entire story was character driven, which I enjoy, but I did crave a little more world building. The story felt like it took place long ago, but some of the phrases and character thoughts were modern. It pulled me away just a bit, but the plot made up for it. Be prepared for a wild ride with sword fights, bloodshed, and the wooden door I actually dreamed about both nights I spent reading.
I recommend this novel for those who love young adult princess stories, faraway kingdoms, hot soldiers, and twist and turns that hit you hard.
1. What inspired you to write Behind the Wooden Door?
2. Without spoiling the ending, I have to say, it gave me all the feels. I had to stop reading to recollect myself. I love when a story does that. So, do you realize you're kind of evil? What were your thoughts in five words or less while you wrote the novel?
3. What was your favorite quote from the novel?
I have a lot of favorites honestly. Most have inside jokes between my sister Nikki and me. The one that sticks with me most though is – I wonder if by any chance dragons will make the sky as beautiful in the next world as they do in Rattonim.
4. Who was your favorite character to write and why?
Probably Lanie. I spent five years in her voice (I rewrote the book twice), and she was such a strong voice. It's very easy for me to slip back into her voice at any time. I've actually written a few 'deleted scenes' since finishing Behind the Wooden Door. I did have a lot of fun with Hawk though!
5. Do you have any future plans for more stories of Lanie?
I've actually plotted two books for her. There were a lot of things left out of Behind the Wooden Door about certain characters. One in particular isn't shown as he really is, and I often regret how people see him. Will I ever write or publish them? I'm not sure. It really depends on if the books are as good as I hope they will be!
Thanks so much to Emily for taking the time to answer my questions!
Emily Godwin is a Young Adult author. She enjoys writing, painting, and sewing her own line of non-evil voodoo dolls. She's a Slytherin, trying to disguise herself as a Hufflepuff, and wishes she could read herself into books. Her YA novels, Behind The Wooden Door & Mutilate My Heart, are available on Amazon now!

Information for UW Law Faculty and Staff about the services we offer.
Research Services librarians often send notes to professors and others in the law school alerting them to new material in their areas of interest. This could include government reports, news stories, academic articles, or new books. In summer 2016, we began creating listservs to make it easier to send messages to people with similar interests. Instead of having to think each time about which professors and staff are interested in, say, health law, we can now send a message to GallagherFYI-HealthLaw.
The GallagherFYI lists are not comprehensive. Not even our team of crack librarians can keep up with all the news and scholarship in one area, let alone all of these areas. You will still want to use a variety of other tools for keeping up. Ask us, if you'd like help setting up alerts or finding relevant newsletters.
We are selective in what we send. If an event is on the front page of every newspaper, we assume that subscribers will learn about it without our help. We will send out material that adds depth or breadth. For example, health law scholars (along with everyone else) saw the headlines about the first Zika infections in Florida. We didn't need to share the front-page stories, but we sent to the GallagherFYI-HealthLaw list a link to the Lancet's Zika Virus Resource Centre and CQ Report on Mosquito-Borne Disease (CQ Researcher is a UW-restricted database).
We all receive a lot of email, so the GallagherFYI lists try to make it easier to deal with.
So you know that it's not a message that requires action. You can put it in a folder or save it for later or delete it if you're too busy to read it.
2. Each list has an archive, so you can go back later to look up something you blasted past the first time.
3. The lists are set up to avoid duplication. So if we send one message to two lists (say, Criminal Justice and Social Justice), then you'll only see it once.
4. If you want, you can get your messages in a daily digest, instead of potentially getting several messages in a day.
GallagherFYI-DrugPolicy Marijuana legalization, opioid policy, etc.
GallagherFYI-EnvirLaw Environmental law, water law, wildlife law, natural resources. Generally limited to US.
For information about using Mailman lists at the UW, see this Subscriber's Guide. That explains how to subscribe, unsubscribe, view archives, etc.
If you don't want to bother with those steps, just email Research Services (lawref [at] uw.edu) and a reference librarian can sign you up.

Q: Does there exist a closed form for the non-integer shifted sinc-function series: $\frac{\sin(n+a)x}{(n+a)x}$? Here I want to get the closed form solution of the following summation
$$
\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\sin(n+a)}{n+a}, a\in \mathbb{R}^+ \qquad(1)
$$
Or the more general form:
$$
f(a;x) =\sum_{n=1}^\infty\operatorname{sinc} [(n+a)x]= \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\sin [(n+a)x]}{(n+a)x}, a,x\in \mathbb{R}^+ \qquad(2)
$$
I looked up into several books and got a similar seires with its closed form:

*

*Equation (550) in Summation of Series 2nd ed. (written by Jolley).
$$
f(1/2;x)= \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\sin [(n+1/2)x]}{(n+1/2)x} = \frac1x\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-2\sin\frac x2\right),0<x<\pi \qquad
$$

But 2 issues in this series: (A) the domain of $x$ is limited (B) the parameter $a$ is limited.

*Equation (551) in the same book

$$
 \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac{\sin [(n-a)x]}{(n-a)x} = \frac{\pi}{x},0<x<2\pi \qquad
$$
Also the domain of $x$ is limited. And the summation starts from negative infinity.
Anyone can help me?

Possible relating QUESTIONS:
Does there exist a closed form for the sinc function series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\sin\sqrt{n^2+1}}{\sqrt{n^2+1}}$?

A: $$I=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{e^{+i  (n+a)x}}{ (n+a)x}=\frac{e^{+i (a+1) x} }{(a+1) x}\, _2F_1\left(1,a+1;a+2;e^{+i x}\right)$$
$$J=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{e^{-i  (n+a)x}}{ (n+a)x}=\frac{e^{-i (a+1) x} }{(a+1) x}\, _2F_1\left(1,a+1;a+2;e^{-i x}\right)$$
$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{\sin((n+a)x)}{(n+a)x}=\frac{I-J}{2i}$$

A: $$\begin{eqnarray*}\sum_{n\geq 1}\frac{\sin(a+n)}{a+n}&=&\text{Im}\int_{0}^{+\infty}\sum_{n\geq 1}\exp\left(ia+in-ax-nx\right)\,dx\\ &=&
\int_{0}^{+\infty}\frac{\sin(a)e^{-x}-\sin(a+1)}{2\left(\cos(1)-\cosh(x)\right)}\,e^{-ax}\,dx\\&=&\int_{0}^{1}\frac{u^a\left(\sin(a+1)-u\sin(a)\right)}{1-2u\cos(1)+u^2}\,du\end{eqnarray*}$$
can be computed in a explicit way for any $a\in\mathbb{Q}^+$ by partial fraction decomposition.
The asymptotic behaviour of the LHS is simple to study through the integral representation, but a closed form for any $a\in\mathbb{R}^+$ is beyond reach, if not through hypergeometric ${}_2 F_1$ functions. This is reminiscent (and not by chance) of the Hurwitz zeta function and the Digamma function.

Vassula in Venezuela, May 2004
by Cecilia Lutz
Vassula's first presentation at the Poliedro Stadium began with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass celebrated by Father Vinke and several visiting priests. The stadium was filled with nearly 8,000 people coming from all over Venezuela by planes and buses. The Sunday Mass was solemn, yet full of joy expressed in music and song. Latin Americans pray with a lot of emotion, rhythm, and happiness in their blood, expressed at the slightest vibration of a guitar string! Imagine the Greek Orthodox song of praise to the Trinity "Thoxa, Thoxa" played, sung, and danced in the Latin beat! We couldn't believe our eyes.. .8,000 people standing, clapping, swaying, and singing in Greek! Those seated below the stage danced in circles; we on the stage held hands and danced the "Sirtaki" around the altar! There we were, the entire stadium, singing, swaying and following the lead of those on the stage, led by Vassula, Father Vinke, and the visiting priests.
Also on stage were Mary Trevino, Benito Prieto, Gogui Merced from Puerto Rico, Cecile Lutz, and in God's glory, ninety-one-year-old Sr. San Luis and another elderly nun, Sister Ampara, all giving glory to God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! What a sight to see and to experience; what a wonderful introduction to Vassula's talk.
Before she spoke, Benito Prieto, who is very active in TLIG evangelization, spoke powerfully about TLIG and Vassula in his inspired style raising the crowd's expectation and enthusiasm to heights that only God's Word would satisfy them.
Vassula's calm voice filled the place reciting the "Our Father" in Aramaic. She gave a brief background of her past; spoke of God's desire for Intimacy, His Sweetness, Repentance, the Sacred Heart, the Holy Spirit, and Our Blessed Mother. Vassula read a very beautiful passage from the message of March 25, 1996, wherein Jesus speaks to His Mother proclaiming:
O Masterpiece of My Father! O Sublime Masterpiece ofYahweh! Spouse to My Holy Spirit! My Radiant Tabernacle! Your Heart, Beloved of the Beloved, is One with Ours! Your Heart is My enclosed garden, a sealed fountain; your Heart is a Fountain that makes the gardens fertile; your Heart, Adorable One, is My Throne, on which I have been honored; Heart of the Heart, whom I crowned in Our presence and in the presence of all My celestial court, how can any of My creatures deny Your Heart?
The whole of Latin America is devoted to Our Blessed Mother, and hearing Jesus' Words to Her touched everyone, filling all our hearts to bursting. She reminded us that True Life in God is a message for all of us: Christians, non-Christians, atheists, agnostics, all the children of God, and that knowing God is the greatest Treasure one can obtain in life.
When Vassula emphasized that Jesus does not make distinctions, His Mystical Body is One, we have divided ourselves, the crowd broke out in applause, cheering for Unity!
Mary, Gogui, and Cecile asked Vassula how it went. She answered in her quiet voice: "Fantastic. It was full of joy, and joy is the Holy Spirit!"
Vassula's friends from a few years back, ninety-one-year-old Sr. San Luis and Sr. Amparo, whom Vassula calls a "soldier" for TLIG, invited her and a party of about thirty-five TLIG workers, including some priests, for luncheon at the Colegio Belen. Sr. Ampara shared her experience of being a TLIG witness, and of her reaction to the CDF Notification in 1995, which was to write a letter to Cardinal Ratzinger in defense of Vassula. The time we spent sharing the meal together was the celebration of a job well done.
Benito Prieto arranged for Vassula to be interviewed live on Venezuelan nationwide TV on the 12 o'clock news hosted by Ms. Anna Vaccarella, a young and very popular news celebrity. Mary Trevino was the translator. Anna was overwhelmed by Vassula's presence, honored to convey Vassula's experience to her listeners. She was interested to know why God chose her, about her Guardian Angel, and the details of how she receives the messages.
Anna asked for God's Message to Venezuela and Vassula's reply was: "If you abandon yourself completely, the Holy Spirit can transform your soul from a desert into a garden where I can have My Rest in you; into a Palace where I can be King and reign over you; into a heaven where I can be glorified. Venezuela, return to God and the Holy Sacraments of the Church."
Later Mary drove Vassula to the site of a future Beth Myriam in Caracas, the fifth of its kind in Venezuela. It is located in the hills surrounding the city, in the town of Sisipa with a population of 10,000 inhabitants of which 2,000 are children. The plans include a community center to feed and clothe the needy, to supply educational and medical help, and a church to teach and live the spirituality of the messages. Fr. Vinke is very much involved in the Beth Myriam Project and has witnessed about True Life in God and its Apostolate to his fellow priests and many bishops in Venezuela. Thanks to his fervor and commitment to True Life in God, none of the Catholic clergy in Caracas opposed Vassula's meeting. In the past, the organizers have always had the bishop's permission to hold the TLIG events, but they would always have to deal with one bishop or priest's objection to Vassula. The existence of the Beth Myriams in Venezuela and all over the world is a product of and testimony to the conversion through the messages of True Life in God. They are clearly and undoubtedly the Work of the Holy Spirit.
An International TLIG Prayer Group WT (Work Team) assist the TLIG Prayer Groups worldwide. Yolis Rivas coordinates the prayer groups in Venezuela. There is news of new groups forming in the eastern part of Venezuela particularly, as well as in other places, and of plans to invite TLIG witnesses from abroad to help spread the messages.
Vassula also pointed out the spiritual habits of people multiplying prayers yet still lacking in charity. What matters is the conversion of the heart, the Scriptures, and living the messages. She stressed the importance of reading the messages from the beginning and meditating on them. She called on us to strive to become witnesses by our conversion and by knowing the messages inside out. There is a great need to bring TLIG over all the Americas, especially in Central America where many countries still have not received the messages. Fr. Vinke, together with Nicole Ponte and Mary Trevino, are now meeting regularly, preparing to become TLIG witnesses for Latin America, according to Vassula's wish. A long anticipated invitation brought us to the heart of the Greek Orthodox community of Caracas. Our host was Father Emanueil Remudakis, the parish priest of the Greek Orthodox Church of Venezuela. Father Manoli, as he is called, had invited his colleagues in the Ecumenical Commission of Venezuela. It was very moving to see Vassula so warmly welcomed by her own people anxiously waiting for her to be among them. He introduced her to the members of his community, to his friends and colleagues, namely Bishop Kahhale, the Exarch of the Melkites in Venezuela, Bishop Guerrero of the Anglican Church of Venezuela, Reverent Samuel Olson, Pastor of the Pentecostal Church of Venezuela, and Father Elias Kasrin, a Salesian priest of Syrian descent working closely with the Melkite community numbering 150,000 in Venezuela alone.
The mood was totally Greek; the dinner and the music transported us to Greece and we could see that Vassula was delighted to speak to everyone and witness about her experience and her mission. Father Remudakis was enchanted and very proud to be her host. Benito Prieto, who is ever ready with TLIG books and promotional material, promised to bring books in Greek for Father Manoli's parishioners. Jorge Benavides and Nicole Ponte of TLIG were also present with the rest of us, to quietly witness. Vassula invited the clergy she met that night to our coming Inter-Faith Pilgrimage in 2005.
When Vassula stepped up to the check-in counter at the airport, the clerk took one look at her and her passport and asked if she was the one interviewed on TV the day before. Vassula nodded with a big smile. It was just the signature we needed to authenticate her visit to our country.

March against family violence
Family Violence – 'It's Not Ok' is the message the Papamoa community will be shouting from the roof tops as they embark on an anti-domestic violence campaign next month.
The campaign is being rolled out in Papamoa on March 1, with a family fun day.
Community family violence co-ordinator, Heather Beddie, says it will be the first area in the Bay of Plenty to become a community where the responsibility of doing something about family violence is owned by the community.
"We have our new MP Todd Muller involved, Mayor Stuart Crosby is involved, and police are heavily involved alongside many of the community organisations, including sports and services clubs," says Heather.
"Detective Senior Sergeant Rob Lemoto, host of Police Ten-7, is becoming a champion of the cause."
Heather says the surf club is also involved alongside many other sports clubs, a gym, the mall and many other community organisations and businesses.
"People are stepping up and saying 'actually we can do something about this as a community'," she adds.
"We are rolling the campaign out on March 1 with a march in Papamoa and then there will be a family fun day where all the domestic violence agencies will be raising awareness and they will also have family things for families to do.
"Where this has happened in other areas in New Zealand, their domestic violence rates have dropped quite dramatically and this is an attempt from us, in partnership with 'It's Not Ok', to actually do something about our domestic violence rates."
Heather says the rates here are no higher or lower than any other area.
"The only difference is Papamoa is doing something about it," she says. "That's the magic phrase really."
The march will be taking place on the grassed area behind McDonalds at Papamoa, just beside the mall.
"We are also going to have billboards up as you drive into Papamoa with the champions' faces on it," adds Heather.
"It's not me, it's not any one agency, it's the community saying we can do something about family violence."

No houses on its sides, only tall black trees. او تمام جزئیات را با نهایت دقت بیان می کند: از محیط آلابامای شمالی گرفته تا جزئیات مربوط به جنگ داخلی. His eyes felt congested; he could no longer close them. Another typical mistake student writers make is extolling the work or author. The excerpt also explains that Farquhar did not do the military service nor did he fight the campaigns that endend with the fall of Corinth. Further pursuits: A link to commentary here: 4. They were all online freebies; there's a good link for this one below.
What images does Orwell use that might give you a hint about his attitude toward the government? There was a rope around his neck. Who or what would be dearest to you? Until the very end, it seems Peyton's mind refuses to acknowledge the inevitable. There is nothing like being so close to Death that you can reach out and shake his hand to bring everything into sharp focus. Who or what would you want more than anything to see and touch again? In your introduction, you made a case for why your topic and position are important. This was way, way ahead of it's time.
There are as many different, valid ways of reading a book as there are books in the world. I read this years ago in English class and really enjoyed it. The best questions invite critical debates and discussions, not just a rehashing of the summary. Some novels are narrated in a linear, chronological fashion, while others skip around in time. What's more, with such little experience, would he really be able to escape in such a daring fashion? His eyes were not covered. In the second part it is revealed that Peyton Farquhar is the man waiting to be hanged. Now, he closed his eyes.
Having come face to face with his mortality, Peyton's mind begins to panic and seeks refuge in the improbable scenario of his freedom. Today, he is best known for his short story, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge and his satirical lexicon, The Devil's Dictionary. But the cannon fired again, and he heard the bullets above his head. It celebrates life and its whimsy and ethereal nature. In my opinion, it's not just the ending that makes it a spectacular short story, but the nonlinear presentation and internal struggles of our character. Omniscient narrators see and know all: they can witness any event in any time or place and are privy to the inner thoughts and feelings of all characters. This section, however, flashes back to when he was home with his wife.
No wonder people have kept this story alive! He was known for his sardonic view of human nature. This short story is an interesting one, considering the author Ambrose Bierce is a name known to many. A difficult journey…a struggle worthwhile. I think that's enough commentary for a title where the Gutenberg licence is longer and more verbose than the actual text. He is a wealthy Alabama planter with a pretty wife and a passel load of children. I don't want to do that to anyone at any cost.
Many times there is a razor thin line between success and failure. A rope closely encircled his neck. The man will remain standing in this location. There was a pink light in the air. The first section opens on the impending execution of Peyton Farquhar, a civilian Confederate sympathizer. As he swims downstream, he has images of home and his lovely wife. Here's some of the most interesting analysis that I saw there, if you're interested in a deeper dive.
Written by I have heard that this was a European prize winning short and that it is the only Twilight Zone that is not original to the series. It makes for a good little Poe-esque tale. We travel with him as he journeys back to his home, and his loved ones. I first read the story in high school then in college and have since taught it at college level. Then, suddenly, he could not swim.
These sensations were unaccompanied by thought. Major themes of this work include the orderliness of death, irrational fantasies, and ultimate denial. For this kind of essay, there are two important points to keep in mind. Research has proven that learning and retention is greater when audio accompanies the text. His face was not covered, so the man looked into the river wishing he could dive in and swim home to his wife and children. At last, he found a road toward his house.


If there is even a grain of truth in this nugget of wisdom, then the religious institutions of our time must re-examine the dogmatic tenets of their various faiths with respect to how they regard, interpret, "treat" and heal those whose lives have touched the outer limits of both mystery and madness.
If our religious nurture and formation consists almost exclusively of "fitting in" to the norms of the chosen faith and our human nature, at its core, is tied inextricably to a search for self-awareness, self-understanding and self-release into those mysteries, then it is the institutions and their "binding" of their adherents that must let go, or be released from our need to belong.
"Political correctness" and strict compliance with any church's definition of the rule and mind of God is precisely what can lead only to a rupture between the human unconscious and the social conventions imposed by that institution. The more we move into the "conformity" expected by the institution, subsume our selves into the vast cavern of the whale's consuming appetite (for it is nothing short of a monstrous appetite for control that drives the religious institutions of our time) and mistakenly conceive, believe and accept that such conformity is moving closer to the "holy" or to God, that our unconscious will thrust itself out from the bottom of our inner self, raging and writhing like a beached dolphin left to die in the sands of the desert, screaming and cavorting in dramas of excruciating pain, or delirium or ecstasy or upward currents of imagination that make tornadoes and hurricanes seems like halcyon breezes.
There is a reason that nature is so uncontrollable and so unpredictable and that human beings are such an intimate component of that nature. We too are unpredictable, uncontrollable resisting all those ties that bind our spirits, even in the name of God, or should we say especially in the name and service of God. No God ever intended such bindings, except perhaps for the "mummies" of the ancient world following a human death. We have so linked, even equated holiness with purity of action, purity of thought, purity of mind heart that we have expunged our very natures from their life-source....and in so doing, we have inflicted mountains of self-flagellation, self-rejection and self-loathing on so many millions of religious followers, because we can and must all acknowledge our own indiscretions, misdeeds, misdemeanors, and even outright betrayals of those we most love and trust...and, except for the occasional 'confessions' and penitential cleansings, based on a trust in the death and resurrection of a saviour, we are left with the guilt of those "sins" as the defining features of our lives.
It is madness, first to declare our human natures as sinful and then to prosecute that nature through the instrument established to worship a deity whose traces of insight and wisdom have been filtered to us through the minds, spoken and written words of our fellow humans of distant times and places.
Unless and until the church opens its collective arms, hearts, minds and spirits to the fullness of the truth that our lives inevitably lead to the soul's full revelation and disclosure, only through unplanned, unpredictable, yet inevitable journeys through mysteries and madnesses which neither can nor will be expunged from our natures, no matter how compelling the case for conformity and chastity and self-control that is so much a part of the spiritual formation of our religious "leaders"....most of whom have no experience with either mystery or madness, and thereby are restricted from even a glimpse of the fuller truth and the fuller risk of such exposures that they cannot mentor those in their "flock" whose lives venture forth into the darkness.


Studying Arabic requires effort and dedication, and most shortcuts will lead to less desirable results. However, there are ways to speed up the process, and learn quicker. More effective study can help produce results in a more timely manner, thus boosting confidence and interest in the language. The more fun and interesting the process is, the more effective your studies will be. And who doesn't want to have fun? Here are some tips to learn Arabic faster, with an added secret near the end.
Structured materials, mixed with wild materials – Make sure you are getting a solid foundation on the basics, and building a very strong core. You can't overlook the core while you reach out for the advanced stuff. Hit primers, get the pronunciation down well, get the top few hundred verbs down cold, master basic grammar like an Arab Ninja. Often, people forget the basics as they journey to "fluent land", and they burn out with weak foundations. Master the top 100 words, then the top 1000 words, and then the top 5000 words. WHILE you are doing this, you consistently sprinkle in the wild materials, like music, newspapers, speaking with natives, etc. But don't skip your foundation, because it will pay dividends in speed and comprehension. Ignore it at your peril. Some people wonder why they have studied for years, and still can't hold a decent conversation or understand much? I'll bet their understanding of grammar, and the basic 5000 word list is maybe 35%-45% comprehension.
Utilize the Internet – This website attempts to gather the best tools and materials available online for students of Arabic. The Internet is full of amazing resources that can speed up your language learning. Now, more than any time in history, language students have access to language materials beyond libraries of the past. Sign up for newsletters, watch videos, use apps, download vocab lists, chat with fellow learners, and utilize the digital revolution for your language benefit. The goal is to get digital immersive experiences, similar to what you encounter in-country.
Listen to More Arabic – Try to listen to Arabic everyday. This doesn't have to be time consuming, even 5-10 minute session can do wonders. Mix up the materials, from news to entertainment programs. Don't worry about understanding, just absorb what you can each session, and continue the process. Your brain will be working naturally to learn the language for you. You should be in Absorb Mode, and not in Despair Mode.
Read Arabic Newspapers – Same as above. Even going for headlines and a few sentences into a few stories will do the trick. Sure, you will be intimidated in the beginning while your vocab is limited. But pay no attention to your weaknesses. By practicing this session after session (5-10 minutes), your ability to understand the language grows. Each time you do it, the ability grows (though you may not see it, the growth is there).
Listen to Arabic Songs – Finding ones with English/Arabic subtitles is gold (here is an example).
Set your Language Goals – It is a temptation to always want "more fluency", without defining it. It is maddening to language learning, as you are constantly encountering new vocabulary, new topics, new territory that is unknown. Sit down and decide what you want to do with the language. Are you preparing for a test? A job? A relationship? Whatever your purpose, make sure you define it. Once defined, realize what you need to accomplish that goal. Do you need 100 vocabulary words? 1000? 10,000? 20,000? There are real levels of mastery for different purposes. Not everyone needs to study until they learn every Arabic word that is out there. You already do this with your mother-tongue. When you need new vocab for new studies or goals, you go out and read books and look up definitions. Same is true for a foreign language. Know your purpose, and set your goals. Otherwise, you will be sick with "language creep" for the duration of your studies, as language learning could literally never end.
Consistent Time, not Long Time – Don't think you need long arduous language sessions all day to succeed. Rather, measured "instances" that are consistent and focused will do the trick. Spreading out multiple 5-10 minute vocabulary sessions can be much more effective than a 2 hour power session that leaves you drained and burnt out. Think mini-goals, and consistency. Listen to Arabic in small chunks, take breaks – eat the elephant one bite at a time. You swallow large pieces and risk choking to death.
Ignore Self Sabotage – Throughout studies, you will find yourself tempted to despair. Looking for excuses, looking for differences with your native-language, looking for reasons to complain. Ignore it. The resistance is there for any task that requires effort. People have learned this language before you, and they will after you. The mind will think of any excuse in order to protect you from the pains of effort. But for every negative thought, find a positive one to replace it with in order to speed your language studies. Think the alphabet in Arabic is hard? Try Chinese, it doesn't have an alphabet. Think broken plurals in Arabic are hard? Thank your stars that feminine words mostly all follow the same plural rules, that saves you half the trouble right there! Think the words sound the same? So does English to the foreign student (smile, smell, smite, smoke…). Just realize that much of your "slowness" in language learning is actually self produced. And knowing this provides you with power.
Focus efforts on High Frequency – Find the high frequency words, verbs, prepositions, structures, newspaper jargon, and phrases, and master these. You get more efficiency in your studies. Don't fret over low frequency stuff. More often than not, the low frequency stuff is more for recognition when you see/hear something, rather than production. High frequency stuff is what you will need to actually produce (say/write), and what counts towards most people's ideas of "fluency". Don't fret – just set your goals, then attack the high frequency materials as deep as you need.
Go Native – You will massively speed up the process by speaking with a native speaker of the language. Using a native as a mirror, to emulate and learn from, is the true secret to language learning. How do children learn language? From their parents, from their friends… from cartoons. But mostly from listening and speaking with their parents hours and hours. Bounce sentences off them, and get corrected.
Thank you for sharing excellent informations. Your site is very cool. I am impressed by the details that you've on this web site. It reveals how nicely you understand this subject. Bookmarked this web page, will come back for extra articles. You, my pal, ROCK! I found simply the information I already searched everywhere and simply could not come across. What an ideal web-site.


Yesterday, May 22, more than 50 Latin American citizen organizations and over a hundred security experts sent a public letter to the students in the United States who have been organizing in recent weeks to demand gun control. The letter, besides expressing solidarity, makes some important proposals on the issue.
First, there must be a ban on the production and sale for civilian use of semi-automatic or assault weapons in the United States, as well as high-capacity magazines and high-caliber ammunition. As we know, more than half of the weapons recovered in crime scenes in Mexico are from the United States. Of those, a large number are semi-automatic rifles.
Second, we should advocate to permit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to resume research of gun violence, with an integrated, public health approach. Second Amendment defenders' foolishness is so absurd that even today practicing science is not allowed.
Third, it is urgent to require universal legal and medical background checks for all gun sales in the United States, prioritizing private transactions such as sales on the internet, in private homes, and at gun shows.
Fourth, Congress should make gun purchases for a third person ("straw purchases") a federal crime. At the same time, as was discussed in the second presidential candidate debate in Mexico, it is important to strengthen Mexico's northern border to ensure that U.S. criminal networks do not continue arming crime south of the border.
Fifth, support the design and implementation of evidence-based local programs for the prevention and mitigation of gun-related violence. Unlike what the Peña Nieto government has done recently, it is important to channel resources for the social prevention of crime, including through disarmament programs for the voluntary return and buy-back of guns. We must take apart the culture of warfare in which the new generation is growing up.
Sixth, it is time to put a real end to all domestic abusers through better coordination of data between police departments, social services, non-profit organizations, and systems for on-line background checks, disarming those who have violent pasts. Guns should not been in the hands of those whom we know have a history of violence.
Seventh, it is necessary to ensure that protection orders to disarm persons who demonstrate extreme risks of violence are available in all of the United States. In his demagogy to to win over the most conservative sectors, Donald Trump seeks to reduce all barriers to the entrance of guns into the market. Latin America should demand change, as poor regulation of guns affects the our countries' security.
Eighth, we should design and promote the implementation of specific mechanisms and technology aimed at the interdiction of illegal flows of firearms, especially on the U.S.-Mexico border, as well as on the borders between Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. In these countries, more than 80% of homicides are committed with firearms. Reducing the availability of guns, as well as controlling the gun trade (both legal and illegal) to the south of the United States should be a priority.
Ninth, it is critical to establish or improve legal weapon registries in all our countries, including mechanisms to facilitate transparency and accountability in legal transfers to police and other security agencies. In the judicial investigation of the Ayotzinapa case, for example, it was disclosed that two rifles registered to local police were found at the crime scene. This should have implications for the military, which has the power to transfer guns to police forces. Why has the military not followed up on gun possession by Mexican police forces?
Tenth, it is urgent to suspend gun exports to military and police end users in Mexico for which there is evidence of links to organized crime or that have violated human rights. In recent years, both United Nations mechanisms and the Inter-American Convention Against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Traffic in Firearms, Munitions, Explosives, and Other Related Materials include provisions that international weapons dealers may not foment violence that undermines stability. The United States should abide by these agreements and it is our obligation to demand it.
There you have ten commandments – proposals put forward by an important group of Latin Americans aware of the importance of curtailing violence in our countries. I express my solidarity with the schoolmates and family members of the youth killed in repeated massacres in U.S. schools. We feel the pain of this violence because we also suffer it every day. Their demand for better gun control is also our demand for societies living with peace and citizen security.


I second that, anyone want to third it?
Right after I've worked out and I'm sweating all over the place and my face is two different colors of white and red and my hair is half wet, half dry and I look like I'm about to have a heart attack. I feel like I've changed the shape of my body temporarily into something more flexible and strong.
I know lots of people feel embarrassed at the gym when their face gets red, but Drew makes a great point that exercise can be empowering.
This is so reasonable and positive, what is it doing in a major trade publication? Well, until the editors notice the vacuum caused by an absence of self-loathing messages in their publication, I'm going to buy a flag pole and mount it outside my bedroom window just so I can fly my freak-flag. The rental manager shouldn't mind, right?
was it kevin? because he's totally my boyfriend now. 4eva!!!
Yes, I have always loved Drew, even if she's not 'conventionally' beautiful. I've always marched to the tune of a different drummer, so I'm gonna let my freak-flag fly too! Love it!
I love that! I'm meeting a bunch of online friends for the first time this weekend, and I've been really freaked out about it.
I suddenly realize there's no reason to be.
I'm going to let my freak-flag fly! And they'll either love me, or dart uncomfortable looks at each other as we munch our lunch.
I love that quote about feeling the most beautiful after a workout. I always act like I look terrible when my face is all red and I'm sweaty, yet I think I secretly love looking like I just worked really hard. I guess I don't have to keep that a secret!
That happens to me too after I've worked out. It's weird. Obviously one workout hasn't made me thinner and more athletic (jelly-legged and exhausted, more like) but I feel all lithe and strong.
All this reference to freak flags is making me want to sing "How Can I Sing Like a Girl?" But I am a girl. Hmmm.
I just love Drew Barrymore, she is a real person in a world full of bullshitting holier than thou people….I feel most beautiful when I am feeling great about my day… so pretty much all the time now! Life is so much better when one is feeling neat…. hey, just to be a pain…. how do you feel when you post a comment on someone's blog and they take exception to what you said ? I sometimes put a comment on that is hopefully going to make them sit back and ask themselves the honest questions, instead of just bleating about their weight….and yesterday I got blasted outta the water…. and feel yuk now! What would you do?
I've always thought Drew Barrymore had that extra little something to her. She always seemed more real to me than most of Hollywood, always marching to the beat of her own drum.
I think it's funny you touched on this subject because I was just thinking to myself yesterday that I feel beautiful now… at 240 (ish) pounds. Not many 240 pound people can say that but I really do feel absolutely beautiful. I still have a ways to go but it's good to know that even in Hollywood the most unconventional beauties can still be thought of as beautiful.
Good Lord! Sorry that repeated so many times. I was having soe slight computer problems (obviously).
Sarah – Don't worry about. Duplicate comments happen sometimes and I deleted it for you. I remember when I got down to around 220 pounds I felt totally awesome. I checked myself out in mirrors all the time even though I was still technically obese.
Sweet! I like Drew Barrymore… Always seemed more natural to me– in appearance and demeanor.
Drew Barrymore is cool. And beautiful. Conventional and otherwise. But isn't it easy for the beautiful people to say that that say it comes from within?
Love those Drew comments, great post!
Love Drew! She always seems to be bubbling over with good energy.

"Koinè" will be the new LORD AGHEROS album
Synonymous of originality, LORD AGHEROS renew their sound with a new album now ready for publication and which will represent the full maturity of a project that uses to be never the same.
With the new album, which will be titled "Koinè", a Greek term that indicates the language used in the Hellenistic age, when Greek essence joined East culture thanks to Alexander the Great, Gerassimos Evangelou, the only mind behind LORD AGHEROS project, returns to his own musical and cultural past with a more extreme sound, close to a certain Atmospheric Black Metal of the early days, but contaminating it in a unique way with the magic and esotericism of the oriental sounds, making "Koinè" a bridge between past, present and future rich of personality and pure beauty.
The album will be released in February 2022 and as always expect the unexpected … it was, is, and always will be LORD AGHEROS' high road.
