Many years ago, a comedian named Flip Wilson hosted wildly popular TV variety show that featured a character he played named Geraldine Jones.
Geraldine was a churchgoing lady who lived in the fast lane of worldliness.
Her signature wardrobe in the church service was a miniskirt which in the early 1970s was unheard of in a church service.
The Geraldine character always got lots of laughs when she'd throw out that line.
But making a joke of sin is never a laughing matter.
The fact is that the devil doesn't make us sin.
If he could make us sin, then every Christian would never worship God, never give to God, never pray to God, never give money to those in need, never forgive those who need mercy and perpetually choose flesh over faith.
Sin is a choice. Always has been and — until Jesus returns — always will be.
Adam tried to shift blame for his sin in the Garden of Eden over to his wife, but that was a stupid choice.
Eve didn't hold Adam down and force the fruit into his mouth.
Why was the tree holding forbidden fruit put in the middle of the perfect garden? Have you ever thought about that?
It was there for one reason — to test Adam's and Eve's loyalty and trust toward God.
It was a measuring tool that would explicitly reveal their need for God's grace if they disobeyed.
They were clearly warned in advance of what the consequences would be if they didn't remain loyal to God.
And, no, the devil didn't make them do it.
Neither did the Old Testament Israelites wandering in the wilderness whenever they ignored the commandments given them through Moses.
Satan couldn't make them do anything. But he sure could lure them into believing lies and choosing to embrace sin.
Millions didn't enter the Promised Land as a result.
Listen, sin is always a choice.
We opt into that which dishonors and disobeys God and devalues our spiritual testimony.
There is no excuse for our sin.
No matter what culture and social media sources and Hollywood megastars say.
God gave us the Old Testament Law and the teachings of New Testament scriptures so that we would know and follow the right path.
We have to know that there are no excuses for sin as Romans 3:19 tells us.
In fact, the Apostle Paul said the Law was given to us so that we wouldn't rely on excuses for sin.
Throwing out excuses might impress other people and even prevent us from consequences with family or friends or employers.
But they also block us from the one remedy that can solve our sin problem with God.
When sin occurs in your life and mine, it's vital that we avoid excuses and confess our failure to God.
It's vital that we repent and pledge to avoid repeating the sin.
Geraldine might think sin is a laughing matter.
But God and His Son who died on the cross to pay the price of atonement sure don't.
Guard rails are not fences.
They're not there to keep cars off the road but instead to keep cars on it.
Fences are to keep people out.
Guard rails are to keep people in.
Sometimes, we Christians lose sight of this when it comes to our faith.
The Bible and the beliefs it calls us to embrace are for the purpose of keeping us in His family, not for trying to keep people out.
Scripture really is, in effect, a God rail.
Godliness is a guard rail.
It keeps us on the narrow path that leads to eternal life.
When we reject godliness — and we've all had moments or seasons of doing so — the guard rails disappear and we inevitably end up in a ditch — or worse.
Nobody likes running into a guard rail… or a God rail.
We get banged up and we have consequences to sort through, not the least of which is a bruised, convicted conscience.
I'm thankful for the God rails in my life that the Holy Spirit has used to get me back between the lines of godly living.
I pray that you'll feel the same as you travel the narrow road.
This thought resonated in my mind this morning after my devotional time in the Bible. More specifically, the words of Psalm 49:15 jumped off the screen and into my soul.
I thought of that horrible scene in the movie Ghost when the director's vision of death angels came to take the soul of the bad guy with them to hell. I am so glad that I don't have to worry about a kicking and screaming trip to hell.
You see, Christ's death on the cross has given me the gift of a choice between heaven and hell.
Because Jehovah is my God and Jesus is my Savior, I have chosen heaven.
I have not earned it, of course.
But I have received it.
Believers are blessed people, that's for sure.
We're bought and paid for from a divine pocket infinitely deeper than ours.
This provides all the hope and peace we need to keep sharing with others about the hope and peace they need.
Start speaking words of hope and peace into others' lives today, my friend.
One kind word and one kind action at a time.
We are saved by a higher power. Let's show others how that higher power can help them.
None of us need reminding from others that we are imperfect.
We do a real good job of proving it to ourselves over and over again.
One of us struggles with cursing.
One of us struggles with greed.
And yet another keeps falling into the cesspool of gossiping.
The list goes on for life after life after life.
Many Christians don't like this roller coaster of sin and forgiveness, sin and forgiveness, sin and forgiveness.
But it's that path we're on until we're walking the streets of gold.
You'd think that after we've been forgiven countless times for the same sin we seem bungee-strapped to, we'd reach the point of simply stopping that particular behavior.
Against the backdrop of this pathetic pattern, we can find hope from the words of the Apostle Paul.
He knew exactly what you and I face with our "stumbling block" sins with which Satan so easily entangles us.
Paul struggled with recurring sin.
We struggle with recurring sin.
Paul escaped the sentence of eternal death resulting from that sin. He did so by accepting Christ as Savior.
Please escape the same penalty. Please make sure you've accepted Christ as Savior.
You'll still fall. But you'll have the peace of knowing that that day is coming when you'll fall no more because you've been lifted up forever.


Many of you will have seen IBM's Sandy Carter presenting her Social Business Coffee Break series of videos on YouTube. The series provides a good run through of Social Business concepts and case studies in the form of short sharp presentations that can be easily viewed whilst enjoying a beverage of your choice. If you haven't now might be a good chance to catch up some of the recent ones in advance of IBM Connect.
Collaboration Matters has always has a great relationship with higher education institutions, including Cardiff University (mentioned in the video – situated in Wales rather than Canada), City University and a number of others. Social Business in general, and IBM Connections specifically, is taking a firm hold in this area – staff and students stand to gain significantly from greater sharing of content, building of closer relationships based on trust and common interests and the ability to be present whether on campus or on a mobile device.
The next step is to start to network these great institutions together using Social Business techniques to manage research and collaborative projects – this process has already begun and we predict great acceleration in this area during 2013.
Lastly, there is a great need to enhance and manage the student lifecycle – the relationship with prospective students whilst they are considering their education options, through joining the institution and their ongoing studies, then on into post-graduate research and finally into alumni status. Right now many institutions treat each of these populations as individual and distinct groups, with little continuity or transition of data or relationships from one stage to another. Our partnership with Social Student is tackling this issue head-on, building a fantastic set of solutions and services to aid those in higher education to deliver innovative social tools to students, faculty and staff, aiding learning and engagement at every step.
If you haven't heard about Social Student and their work in the HE sector, try get along to session SW501 'Social Learning – Redefine Education: Cardiff University and Birmingham Metropolitan College' at IBM Connect (Tuesday, 10-11am, Swan Egret). I'll definitely be there!

Biografia
Era l'unica figlia del principe elettore Gioacchino Federico di Brandeburgo (1546-1608) e della sua seconda moglie Eleonora di Hohenzollern (1583-1607), figlia del duca Alberto Federico di Prussia. Rimasta orfana in tenera età, crebbe con lo zio Cristiano.

Sposò il 4 dicembre 1631 a Cölln sulla Sprea il conte palatino Luigi Filippo di Simmern-Kaiserslautern (1602-1655), fratello del re Federico V del Palatinato. Nella primavera del 1632 dopo la liberazione del Palatinato operata dagli svedesi, la coppia vi si trasferì, essendone stata affidata l'amministrazione a Luigi Filippo. Questi venne poi espulso nel 1635 dalle truppe imperiali e la coppia visse per diversi anni in esilio a Metz ed a Sedan.

Dopo la morte di Luigi Filippo, il nipote Carlo Luigi sostenne la propria candidatura a reggente del Palatinato-Simmern, ma Maria Eleonora, descritta come donna energica, s'oppose ai suoi disegni, con il sostegno del suo pronipote, il principe elettore Federico Guglielmo di Brandeburgo, sinché l'imperatore Ferdinando III la confermò il 6 luglio 1655 reggente del principato.

Fu una sostenitrice del teologo Johannes Cocceius, con cui intrattenne una fitta corrispondenza.

Maria Eleonora visse a Kaiserslautern, e sopravvisse a tutti i suoi figli, assistendo in tal modo all'estinzione della linea del Palatinato-Simmers, i cui domini tornarono al Palatinato.
È sepolta nella chiesa di Santo Stefano a Simmern. Il suo motto fu: "Dio è il mio conforto e fiducia."

Discendenza
Maria Eleonora ebbe sette figli, di cui solo due raggiunsero l'età adulta:
 Carlo Federico (1633–1635)
 Gustavo Luigi (1634–1635)
 Carlo Filippo (1635–1636)
 Luigi Casimiro (1636–1652)
 Elisabetta Maria Carlotta (1638–1664), sposò nel 1660 il duca Giorgio III di Brieg (1611–1664)
 Luigi Enrico Maurizio (1640–1674), conte del Palatinato-Simmern, sposò nel 1666 la principessa Maria d'Orange (1642–1688)
 Luisa Sofia Eleonora (1642–1643)

For the Paladin spell card, see Avenging Wrath.
Wrath is a Common Druid spell card from the Classic set.
Wrath can be obtained through Classic card packs, through crafting, or as an Arena reward. Golden Wrath can also be obtained through the Highest Rank Bonus chest at the end of each Ranked season.
As shown above, despite the card's ambiguous wording, both Choose One options are limited to targeting minions.
First, it deals 1 damage, queuing and resolving triggers.
Then, it draws a card, queuing and resolving triggers.
Prior to Patch 7.1, Wrath drew a card before dealing 1 damage, in contradiction to the card text.
Wrath is a versatile removal spell. For 2 mana, dealing a flat 3 damage is already useful on par with several other class-specific cards. But the Druid can also choose to deal only 1 damage in exchange for drawing a card. This can allow the player to cycle through the deck faster, and makes Wrath a good draw even in the late-game.
Wrath is a druid spell from World of Warcraft. It is a simple single-target cast-time damage spell, and is the first spell learned by druids. At higher levels it is mostly used by Balance druids, who can use it to generate Lunar Energy.
The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Crown of the Heavens" series, for the card Muln Earthfury.
The card art depicts Muln Earthfury.

A pediatrician is a type of doctor that specializes in caring for children and their diseases. I love children and would like to help them live a healthy life, which is why I chose to research what pediatricians do. Pediatricians must diagnose, treat, and prevent childrens' diseases. In addition to diagnosing illnesses, a pediatrician must also evaluate a child's growth and development (Pediatrician, General) . It takes work and determination to achieve the goals to become a pediatrician. A person seeking this profession needs to be able to endure the extensive and challenging scholastic requirements as well as understand the impacts this occupation will have on their personal life. A pediatrician must have certain skills to not only be able to treat young patients, but also be able to effectively communicate with the child and the family.

SKU: 9780786494071 Categories: African American Studies, History, Interdisciplinary Studies, Peace Studies, Religion, Social Sciences, United States Tags: Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Quakers, slavery
The Quakers came to America in the 17th century to seek religious freedom. After years of struggle, they achieved success in various endeavors and, like many wealthy colonists of the time, bought and sold slaves. But a movement to remove slavery from their midst, sparked by their religious beliefs, grew until they renounced the slave trade and freed their slaves. Once they rejected slavery, the Quakers then began to petition the state and Federal governments to do the same. When those in power turned a blind eye to the suffering of those enslaved, the Quakers used both legal and, in the eyes of the government, illegal means to fight slavery. This determination to stand against slavery led some Quakers to join with others to be a part of the Underground Railroad. The transition from friend to foe of slavery was not a quick one but one that nevertheless was ahead of the rest of America.

New Year's Eve stray bullet damages woman's car
By: Eran Hami
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Before midnight on New Year's Eve, Susan Foster heard a loud bang outside her home in the 4400 block of Willow Street. She went out her back door and looked to see what caused the disturbance. She thought it may be firecrackers. She checked out her front door and found nothing again.
"Oh my goodness somebody was shooting fire- it was a gun. It was really loud, it got me up," said Foster.
The next day she got her answer.
"I just came out and looked inside, there was glass all on the inside of my car," she said. "And, I didn't know where it came from. So, I got back out and went to the front and I could see where it hit the top of my windshield."
She found a dent the size of a quarter on her windshield. A spider web crack. Pieces of broken glass on her seats and floors of her car.
But how did she know it was a gun shot?
"So when I looked and I didn't find it on the inside, that thing just rolled down here," Foster said pointing at the area of her wiper blades. "And it was sitting right here."
It was a small caliber bullet that clearly had impacted something.
Foster called her insurance company and the Corpus Christi Police Department (CCPD)
"Every call that we get that come in, officers will get dispatched to those," said Lt. Michael Pena of CCPD.
Pena said the department gets numerous calls for fireworks and gun shots on New Year's Eve. He said someone will go out for all the calls.
Foster tried filing a report by calling the non-emergency number.
"I was leaving to run up to the store and the guy that answered the 911 non emergency told me that I would have to be home before I could do anything.
Foster wasn't able to file her report then.
Nonetheless, Pena said those kinds of calls are difficult to handle.
"That's the difficulty of it," he said. Somebody will call in about gun fire or fireworks. That goes to the dispatcher, dispatcher gives it to an officer, the officer needs to get to that area. So, in some cases, it's no longer going on when the officer arrives there. But keep in mind officers are patrolling the city. They could just come across either one of those."
If you do have property damage from something like this, Pena said you can file a report over the phone. Foster said she is still interested in making a complaint.
"I just would like for people to stop shooting guns," said Foster. "Because somebody is going to get hurt as they did already."
Foster was referencing the 11-year-old girl who was killed by gun fire on New Year's Eve.
Foster said luckily, her insurance company told her she's covered and can get a new windshield because they consider the damage to be vandalism.


<kevin> hey, we're the featured article on wikipedia | Something Odd!
Quick! Take a look at Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia!
I hate the term Eire, it's usually just used by conservative British newspapers in a really condesending tone.


The Swedish company BIMobject (www.bimobject.com ) has been around for a while but in the last couple of years it has been elevated to the premier site for downloading Revit content, in my view. The reason for this, I think, is that Autodesk decided to pass all the content they had on their content site called Autodesk Seek to the BIMobject site. This together with the free marketing has done wonders to the BIMobject cause.
BIMobject also has a Revit add in (downloaded from the Autodesk Revit App Store here) whereby you can search for manufacturer's content from within Revit itself.
BIMobject not only host's Revit content but also other vender's content so many building professionals use this site which in turn draws the manufacturers to have their products published to the site.
Clicking on Browse button opens up the content browser and you can search for a specific item ot use the various country or object filters to narrow down your search. I used the Door content filter for this example as shown.
Clicking on one of the doors opens up some details of the door as shown.
You can then click the download button and select Revit format to download.
Once you click on the download button for Revit the system downloads the family.
Once downloaded you can insert the door into your plan as shown.

90 Day Fiance Jesse Meester Makes Fans think He was Cast on Bachelorette
90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days': Jesse and Darcy screenshot
Jesse's relationship didn't work out on 90 Day Fiance and is still single
by Mandy Robinson (article) and Parasshuram Shalgar (video)
August 14, 2018 at 1:17 AM Tue 14 Aug 2018 11:50:14 AM EDT
'90 Day Fiancé' Stars Rachel and Jon Share first pic after meeting - Video
Jesse Meester was on "90 Day Fiance" and had a relationship with Darcey Silva, but things didn't work out for them. He is single once again. Now, he is confusing fans and teasing that he could be on "The Bachelorette." That would be pretty interesting. They do have this show in various countries so maybe he doesn't mean the United States version.
Jesse's cryptic Instagram comments
Jesse actually made some cryptic comments on Instagram that have the fans confused.
The rumors are flying and Jesse isn't confirming or denying them. He shared a photo in a helicopter and this got all of the conversation started.
A fan said, "Was this for The Bachelorette, or just you? Please take me with you, you inspired me to live my life and end my relationship so I'm ready for something real." They seem to think that he was on the helicopter during filming or something.
Could he be on the show?
Other fans had comments about wanting to know when his season will air and more.
Right now, the United States isn't filming a season of "The Bachelorette." They aren't actually filming anything but are just preparing to cast the next guy as "The Bachelor.
So, Jesse Meester shared a photo of himself with a female, but it was a modeling shoot and not a girlfriend. The fans went a bit crazy on this post. It all started with one saying, "I love you! Are you married with her? Is she from The Bachelorette?" Jesse replied explaining that they only work together and are not married at all.
Then someone else said that they hoped he wasn't married yet and was still on the show. Jesse sent back a yellow heart and praying emoji to them. He isn't denying or admitting that he is on the show.
One thing is that Jesse lives in the Netherlands. They don't have a version of the show there, but he could be going to another nearby country to film. If he is on "The Bachelorette," then he is just a contestant and not the lead.
It will be all about if the girl likes him or not if he sticks around.
Jesse and Darcey are on this season of "90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days," but from the look of things, these two seem to be totally over. They probably won't confirm anything until the season is done airing, though. This is their second season on the show and these two have been through a lot of drama during their relationship already.
For now, fans will have to wait and see if Jesse Meester shares anymore about "The Bachelorette." It would be great to see him on the show. Right now, you can watch episodes of "Bachelor in Paradise" on Mondays and Tuesdays on ABC. You can catch "90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days" on Sunday nights on TLC.

We Don't Die Radio: Interview
I was just interviewed by Sandra Champlain on "We Don't Die" Radio Show!
Having been through chemo three times now, we discussed my feelings of my own death and the afterlife which I have come face-to-face with as part of my healing.
We explore the power of music to transform our process of living as well as healing and the chemotherapy support program that I'll be introducing soon!
I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on the subject. Please leave me a comment and let me know how YOU feel about Life beyond Death. It will be a GREAT conversation!
Bloom Magazine: How Do You Have Fun with Cancer and Create a New Paradigm for Chemo?
Article appeared in Bloom Magazine. Written by RODNEY MARGISON
Lauren Lane Powell greets Linda Summers as she arrives to a chemotherapy session. Photos by Rodney Margison
On three occasions, Lauren Lane Powell was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and three times she defeated the disease. Now, along with IU Health Bloomington Hospital, she hopes her most recent experiences can be used to help others.
During her first two bouts with cancer (in 2012 and 2014), Powell's parents gave her moral support, but they both died before her third diagnosis last year. Her response this time was to create an alternative support system that includes music, essential oils, meditation, and other unconventional approaches, as well as a group of friends that she calls her "chemo-sabe" (a take on the term of endearment used by the fictional character Tonto when referring to the Lone Ranger).
"I'm a voice teacher," she says. "I knew I had to reach out to my community, especially my fellow singers, and then create the music that went along with this. All of the people I sing with are either in my choir or come from my church or have had lessons with me."
While her approach is unconventional, it has allowed her to find a peace that was otherwise missing. "Somebody asked me what happens if chemo doesn't work this time; what happens if I die?" Powell says. "Well, I'm having fun every week, that's the key. Embracing death has been a part of this, but how do we do that with fun? How do you have fun with cancer?"
Her fun begins with music. "Two hours of singing changes everything," she says. "During the pre-meds, we do up-tempo music, fun songs, happy-little-fishies-eating-all-the-bad-cells-away." Then, she says, they bless the bag containing the chemotherapy drugs. "We do reiki over it, then we go into meditation and keep singing." The treatment room is decorated inside and out, and friends, as well as the nursing staff, leave inspirational messages throughout each session.
Accepting her disease was also key in helping Powell get through it. "Acceptance is in the now," she says. "Whatever I'm going through right now, whether it's fatigue, whether it's a little bit of nausea, it's 'how can I embrace where I am, what I'm doing.'"
And now that she's again in remission, she and her chemo-sabe hope to use their experiences to provide the same environment for other chemotherapy patients. "I have gotten to use everything I have ever learned—through vocalizing, through my spiritual practice, through meditation, through what I teach—for all three of these cancer dances," she says. "Now I'm excited to use what I've learned to help other people and to see how my own life can expand through what has obviously been such a gift. I see this as a pioneer project for all over the country for changing the way chemo is done."
It's an idea that caught the attention of Linda Lewis, chief nursing officer with IU Health Bloomington Hospital. "I've been a student of holistic nursing since 1999, before it was popular," she says. "I was a critical care nurse and I would never understand why some patients with a tremendous amount of trauma survived and did really well, and others who had very little trauma did not make it." She concludes, "It's not just the injuries, it's the psyche."
In May, the hospital began an integrative healing arts program. Funding is through the Bloomington Hospital Foundation, which agreed to put the first 25 clinicians through the year-long program. When they finish, participants will be nationally certified in holistic practice.
"Now I know why I got cancer the third time," Powell exclaims. "There are bigger reasons than it just coming back. I'm in the right and perfect place."
Lewis agrees. "You are," she says. "I've always had this belief that people with like-mindedness cross paths and create this energy. That's what's happening here in Bloomington. Many people are looking at how we can create a better healing environment by opening up our own minds and hearts to what healing means."


Interference by one parent in the relationship of a child and the other parent is almost never in the child's best interests. In fact, in extreme cases, actions by one parent to alienate the affections of the child from the other parent, to interfere win the other parent's visitation rights, or to remove the child to a distant state or country can often lead to liability in tort. See generally E. Borris, "Torts Arising Out of Interference with Custody and Visitation," 7 Divorce Litigation 192 (1995). Tort liability is not always an option, however, as many courts refuse to award damages based upon interference with visitation rights. E.g., Cosner v. Ridinger, 882 P.2d 1243 (Wyo.1994).
A noncustodial parent is not always left without a remedy, however, simply because courts in that parent's jurisdiction refuse to recognize tort actions arising out of interference with his or her parental rights. This article discusses a different type of liability which may result from interference with the noncustodial parent's rights: loss of custody. The article will first discuss whether a party may generally obtain a change of custody based upon such interference. The article will then examine specific acts by a custodial parent which may cause a court to change custody, including denial of visitation rights, alienation of the child's affections away from the noncustodial parent, and removal of the child to a distant jurisdiction. The section on alienation of the child's affections includes a discussion of Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) and recent cases that have dealt with PAS. The article concludes with a suggestion of possible provisions that practitioners may insert in custody decrees in order to prevent future problems between custodial and noncustodial parents.
Most courts and experts agree that except in unusual cases it is most important for a child to have a strong relationship with both parents. Thus, courts will typically conclude that an award of custody to the parent who is most likely to foster a relationship between the child and the other parent is in the child's best interests. For this reason, if a custodial parent has demonstrated in the past a pattern of interference with the relationship between the child and the noncustodial parent, unless other facts dictate a different holding, courts will frequently conclude that a substantial change in circumstances justifying a change of custody has occurred.
Not surprisingly, there is a long-standing tradition of awarding a change of custody where the custodial parent has interfered with the parental rights of the other parent. The Court of Appeals of Maryland clearly established this point in Berlin v. Berlin, 239 Md. 52, 210 A.2d 380 (1965). In Berlin, the parties entered into a written separation agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, incorporated into the court's order, custody of the children was awarded to the mother, and the father received reasonable visitation rights. In addition, the parties also agreed that the mother would notify the father if the mother moved out of the Washington metropolitan area. Subsequently, the mother began denying the father his right to visitation. For this reason, the father requested a change in custody. The trial court granted the father's request, and the mother appealed.
After a practitioner determines whether the relevant jurisdiction may award a change of custody based upon acts of interference with the noncustodial parent's rights, it must be determined which particular acts will justify such a change. The relevant authority indicates that three distinct fact patterns may justify a change. First, courts often award a change of custody if the custodial parent repeatedly interferes with the noncustodial parent's court- ordered visitation rights. Second, courts are inclined to award a change of custody if the custodial parent alienates the child's affections away from the noncustodial parent. Third, if the custodial parent removes the child to a distant jurisdiction without informing the noncustodial parent of the move, courts frequently order a change of custody. Each of these scenarios will be addressed in turn.
The most common form of interference with parental rights which is remedied by courts occurs when custodial parents consistently refuse to turn children over to the noncustodial parents for court-ordered visitation. The fact that courts frequently order changes of custody in this circumstance is perfectly understandable, since court-ordered visitation is often the noncustodial parent's only connection to his or her children. If this visitation is frustrated, the child's best interests are clearly injured because the child will be completely deprived of a relationship with the noncustodial parent.
HOW DID CHILDREN OF DIVORCE GET STUCK WITH THE VISITATION PLAN THAT AFFORDS THEM ACCESS TO THEIR NON-RESIDENTIAL PARENT ONLY ONE NIGHT DURING THEWEEK AND EVERY OTHER WEEK-END?
Indeed, the research that we do have supports the serious consequences to children when the father, who is generally the non-residential parent, does not play a meaningful role in lives of his children. The book, Fatherneed, (2000) by Dr. Kyle Pruitt, summarizes the research atYale University about the importance of fathers to their children. And another post on this page summarizes an extensive list of other research.
All were familiar with alienation and it's results. Everyone was not only gratified to see PAAO at the event, they all also acknowledged that PA is either a form of Domestic violence or on the continuum of Domestic Violence behaviors.
¿Que es la Custodia Compartida?
Why do PAS parents act like they do?
This is an amazing article! Thank you for sharing!

Barbara Cook Sings Mostly Sondheim
June 6, 2015 By WillDeaver Leave a Comment
Here, Barbara Cook, despite having never previously appeared in any Sondheim production but the concert version of Follies, shows her massive affinity and admiration for the man by offering one of the greatest showcases his work has ever received. Approximately half of this concert's contents are taken from Sondheim's actual body of work; the other half are drawn from Sondheim's "Songs I wish I'd written" list.
She opens the program with the thrilling "Everybody Says Don't" from Anyone Can Whistle, and concludes in with a heartwrenching rendition of that show's title-song. In between, she offers some relative rarities of the Sondheim canon, including the ecstatic "Happiness" and the searing "Loving You" from the underrated Passion, mixed with several old standbys such as "You Could Drive a Person Crazy", "Not a Day Goes By", and "Send In the Clowns".
She even offers a new rendition of her own signature Sondheim tune, "Losing My Mind", and actually surpasses the lovely but dramatically tepid version on her famous Follies recording. Also on the recording is another of her signature songs, Bock and Harnick's "Ice Cream", and it shows off how amazingly well her voice has held up over the years, still hitting the same fabulous climactic high note she originally did back in 1964.
As Sondheim's 'list' seemed to have a great deal of Harold Arlen on it, she offers several impressive renditions of Arlen's material, including a ruefully funny "Buds Won't Bud", an exquisitely stylized "I Had Myself a True Love", and an explosively intense "The Eagle and Me".
Cook's only support here is her longtime accompanist Wally Harper and the talented Malcolm Gets, who serves as her duet partner several times (most memorably on "Not While I'm Around"), and is allowed to take the stage for a few complete solos. Cook hadn't missed a beat by this point (nor has she done so to this day, for that matter), and the audio and DVD recordings of this extraordinary showcase are essential resources for any true Broadway fan.

at Prairie State Park
Wildflowers and Wide Open Spaces
Imagine following a great river of bison across a treeless expanse of sun-washed grasses or witnessing the spectacle of a prairie wildfire lighting the night sky. This blend of grazing and fire was among the many factors that contributed to an intricate assembly of tallgrasses, wildflowers and abundant wildlife called prairie.
More than 13 million acres of tallgrass prairie once covered more than one-third of Missouri's landscape. Today, less than 65,000 acres remain. Prairie State Park is Missouri's largest remaining tallgrass prairie landscape. Four examples of tallgrass prairie within the park, East Drywood Creek, Regal, Hunkah and Tzi-sho prairies, were originally designated as natural areas. These have all now been combined and are included in the nearly parkwide Regal Tallgrass Prairie Natural Area designation. Purchased with the help of The Nature Conservancy, Prairie State Park preserves a unique and rare diversity of life.
That diversity is represented in more than 150 birds, 25 mammals, 25 reptiles, 12 amphibians and approximately 500 species of plants, 350 being native prairie species. The conversion of the once-vast prairie to farmland, towns and roads has left few natural places as refuges for the plants and animals distinctive to a tallgrass prairie ecosystem. More than 25 rare and endangered plant and animal species have been recorded in Prairie State Park, some of which are not found anywhere else in the state. A reintroduced bison herd freely grazes across the landscape shaping the earth with grazed patches, trails and wallows.
To preserve this heritage, park staff conduct research, monitoring practices and stewardship procedures. Prescribed fires remove accumulated grass mats and increase soil nutrients. The open character of the prairie is protected with the removal of invading trees. Bison have been reintroduced to join other native grazers to maintain the natural grazing processes. Where the prairie vegetation no longer exists, native plants are sown.
Each season of the year transforms the prairie. Spring is a sea of green grasses sprinkled with red, purple and cream-colored blossoms of Indian paintbrush, arrow-leaved violet and cream wild indigo. Pumpkin-colored bison calves are born in May and June. Summer brings a constant succession of flowers from pale purple coneflower to rattlesnake master, gayfeather and butterfly milkweed. Regal fritillary butterflies float from flower to flower in search of nectar, while slender glass lizards bask in the warm sunlight. Dickcissels, sedge wrens and Henslow's sparrows nest among the plants.
As temperatures rise, warm-season grasses such as big bluestem and Indian grass can grow to 8 feet tall. In autumn, the purple spikes of rough blazing star and several types of goldenrod and asters compete for attention, while downy gentian is nestled low amongst the tall grasses. During the winter months, Northern harriers, prairie falcons and rough-legged hawks may be spotted as they soar through the sky. Frost and snow frequently decorate the landscape to create silvery lights on golden grasses.
During any season, visitors can experience prairie life by hiking one of the park's trails. Visitors can take a short hike or reserve the park's backpacking camp and sleep under the vast prairie sky. With more than 150 bird species, some of which are rare and endangered, bird watching is a favorite activity. The trails also provide a great place for nature study, photography, and viewing wildflowers and wildlife. The park also has a picnic area and limited camping. Potable water is available on the south side of the shop building before you enter the camping and picnicking area.
The park's Regal Tallgrass Prairie Nature Center features exhibits that interpret the tallgrass prairie, such as a diorama depicting the prairie from spring to fall, a bison exhibit and interactive activities. Park naturalists conduct programs that interpret prairie life and stress the importance of preserving this rare and sweeping historic landscape.

Just after the November issue of BCCJ ACUMEN went to print, some of the Custom Media team headed off to the Hilton Hotel Tokyo for the British Chamber of Commerce in Japan's (BCCJ) annual British Business Awards (BBA), a highlight in the UK–Japan calendar.
I would like to extend my congratulations to all of the winners, and for those who weren't fortunate enough to be there, or who would like to relive the evening, our coverage of the event will give you a flavour of what was a terrific celebration of UK–Japan business success.
The BBA wasn't the only event recognising UK–Japan links, however. The Japan–British Society also held its annual dinner and awards ceremony in November, marking cultural and other achievements. Take a look at our round-up of the winners and event.
There has long been a mutual admiration between the UK and Japan for the other's creations and culture. And this is on display again in this issue, first of all in our interview with Jeremy Hackett, founder of Hackett London. He talks about the enduring appeal of classic men's tailoring, and how Japan influences the brand.
Then we have an overview of the Flora Japonica exhibition, taking place at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew in London, which showcases Japanese contributions to Western botanical art. Japan-based readers will be able to enjoy the exhibition first hand when it comes to Tokyo in 2017.
Christmas is of course a time of gift giving, and in this issue we feature the British Fair held recently by Hankyu Department Store in Osaka, where UK firms showcased their wares to a receptive Japanese crowd. No doubt some of those items will be finding their way into stockings in both the UK and Japan this year.
Winter also means it is time to hit the slopes again for skiers and snowboarders. Although many of those living in Japan and the rest of Asia are no doubt familiar with the quality of Japanese resorts such as Niseko and Hakuba, the UK is catching on too, with skiers being enticed away from European resorts by the promise of abundant powder snow, and a rich cultural experience. We look at British firms introducing the Japanese skiing experience to the UK market.
Finally, I would like to wish everyone at the BCCJ a fantastic holiday period and all the best for 2017.


Jaco Pastorius (born as: John Francis Pastorius III, December 1, 1951 - September 21, 1987) was a jazz bassist who is notable for popularizing the fretless electric bass. He was immensely talented; many have gone so far as to say he was the greatest electric bassist ever to live.
Pastorius was born in Pennsylvania, but soon moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where he was raised. He played music throughout his youth, and in 1974, he began playing with his friend Pat Metheny. In 1976, he was invited to join fusion band Weather Report, where he played alongside Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter until 1981. His first solo album was released in 1976 to generally good reviews. He toured with his Word of Mouth Big Band from 1980 to 1984. However, in the mid-1980s, he began to experience mental problems. These were worsened by heavy drug and alcohol use. He fell out of public favor and became an outcast in the music business. In 1987, he was beaten into a coma after an altercation with a bouncer at the Midnight Club in Fort Lauderdale. He suffered irreversible brain damage and died on September 21 of that year. Miles Davis honored the late bassist in his Amandla album with the composition "Mr. Pastorius".

Let's say you happen to be walking along a scenic riverfront at sunset. There are interesting architectural features on the South side of the river and the sun, not having recently changed it's course, is setting off to the West. There are just enough clouds along the horizon to make for a decent sunset, but the sky above the horizon is clear, without much interesting going on.
You think, "Oh, what a nice sunset reflecting on the river," and you pull out your iPhone. But you quickly discover that taking a picture of the sunset doesn't include the interesting buildings and taking a picture of the buildings misses the best part of the sunset. To boot, the buildings are too dark. What do you do?
Well, this is the joy of photography: sometimes you have to choose. You can't always get what you want . . . so what do you need?
And that is the other joy of photography–you get to decide.
I've shared 6 of the images I took in the gallery above, each with the scene framed differently. Below, I've taken these 6 images and pointed out the things that bug me about them. There are many. However, I think it's useful to learn what other people look at and what bugs them in photographs when you're trying to figure out what makes one photograph more appealing than another. Remember, there are no rules, but part of photography is learning to see things differently. Sometimes that includes your own photos.
Your Assignment: Take a look at the comments I've made on my photos below. I've color-coded them for things I think are positives (green), things that are less-than-ideal but tolerable (yellow), and things that are a deal-breaker for me (red).
Do you agree with my assessment? Do you see other things that bother you (there are many more things that bother me than I included in the comments)? Do you like things I don't? Did you notice the things I pointed out before you read my comments?
Why do you think two people look at the same photo and see it differently?


It has always been a goal for Dion and me to give back to the artistic community that has fostered our growth. As such we've decided that each year we will choose either an artist or an organization or a combination of both to support. Whether that's helping an actor take a specialized class or a filmmaker reach a fundraising campaign goal. This way we can ensure that great art can continue to be explored and fostered.
After a sold-out run in Toronto in 2017, we're excited to announce that we will be continuing to support Ngozi Paul's Dora Award Winning show The Emancipation of Ms. Lovely. Ngozi is one of Canada's most treasured artists, with her artistic finger on the pulse, creating socially relevant content. Through her art, she explores how our present-day experiences were built on a foundation of misguided notions of beauty and self-worth. Her Production company is the creative home for local artists and audiences craving mindful theatre.
We look forward to continuing our support with this project and taking it to new heights as the subject of self-love is very close to our hearts. We will keep you up to date as things unfold.

Unlucky Frog Gaming
Snowman Dice - Review (and Competition!)
By Ben Porter
Snowman Dice by Brain Games Publishing
Every media outlet/critic has their darlings.
Edge Magazine will love Nintendo forever and ever; the British media will always fall over itself to laud praise upon Dame Judi Dench. And ever since I played Ice Cool, my admiration for Brain Games has grown and grown. Between the clean-cut, child-friendly aesthetic used throughout their games, and the common thread of simple, streamlined games implemented in unique and clever ways, the Latvian publisher actually has quite a lot in common with Nintendo.
Snowman Dice is a game for 2-4 players. Each player has 5 dice. Each dice has 6 unique symbols on it; head, torso, legs, snowflake, snowball, and arrow. Players are in a race to build their snowman by stacking 3 dice - each of the correct facing - and getting him to the North Pole (centre of the table) before the other players do. It takes about a minute to explain the game, and it can be played in about 10.
Sometimes - very rarely - you will happen upon a game that you know that you're going to like as soon as you set eyes upon it. For me, Snowman Dice has been one of those games. Now that we've gotten the bold assertions out of the way (well, mostly), let's get on with a proper review.
All inside a handy little snowball
The game favours a soft, monochromatic palette of blue and white, which immediately evokes a wintery feeling. The ball-shaped zipper bag that the game comes in, the 20 dice, instruction leaflet and North Pole marker are all of various hues of sky blue with wee splashes of other colours here and there as required.
It might seem simple, but I love the fact that the snowmen featured on the cover art are comprised of blocks as opposed to the more rounded snowmen typically seen - it makes for a very elegant marriage of the game art and components. It serves as a great example of "picket fencing"; that is, using the constraints of the game to fulfill a greater purpose. Furthermore, the 3 snowman pieces represented on the dice are all square. Fantastic.
The 19mm dice the game uses have a good, chunky feel to them and are just very satisfying to roll. The dice size used feels just right; any smaller and they would become a bit trickier to stack, and any bigger and it would be difficult for many players (children particularly) to roll 5 of them in one go. The squashy, ball-shaped zipper bag the game comes in is a stroke of genius, allowing you to put it easily in a pocket or bag, or squeeze it into a jam-packed suitcase if you're going on holiday or to a convention. I love that the game doesn't come in a box - especially when so many games now come in boxes far larger than they need to be.
The only thing really letting the game down is the North Pole token. It's really just a thin, round piece of laminated polythene with a North Pole printed on it. It's pretty flimsy and will probably get damaged or lost pretty quickly. That being said, it's not really essential - you could well use a coin or a coaster to represent the North Pole and it isn't going to detract from the experience. And considering the whole game comes for £15, it's not a dealbreaker at all.
Snowman Champion Snowball Flinging Team of 2019
Snowmen racing to get to the North Pole as a snowball fight breaks out.
Thematically, that's pretty much snowman dice in a nutshell. It's a gentle, child-friendly theme that emphasises the Brain Games family-centric design ethos which also serves as some first-class cohesion between theme and mechanics. Indeed, I think it would be impossible to separate the theme from the mechanics, which is quite unusual of itself. Oddly enough, designer Mike Elliott is also one of the minds behind Dice Masters, which is a game that has seen numerous iterations in different universes - the Marvel and D&D universes amongst those.
There is nothing wrong with a game that could - in theory - be separated from its theme; very often games are designed with the bare bones of the mechanics in mind first and the theme comes along later. It's hard to tell how Snowman Dice would have started out because the theme and the mechanics are so tightly interwoven, which is something else I really admire about the game.
Watch my snowman go!
To paraphrase Peter Hopkins of Drawn to the Flame, a game of Snowman Dice invariably descends into glorious anarchy.
That the game is so simple to teach and so quick to play will mean that almost everyone will be frantically pushing lopsided snowmen across table, shouting excitedly and flicking snowball dice at each other's squinty snowmen. Or full-on lobbing snowball dice if you're me. (Don't do that.)
For all Snowman Dice may seem - at least superficially - as though it's really a game of luck, it's a little more nuanced than that. Planning is an important factor to the game. Do I keep my arrow, head and torso and just roll my remaining 2 dice? Or do I reroll all of them? Should I hold onto a snowball just in case? Should I just focus on building my snowman, or should I pay more attention to my neighbours? All of these little decisions being made over and over in a matter of seconds. The inclusion of the snowflake - which counts as a "wild" for building your snowman - also helps to mitigate the luck element of rolling the dice. The snowflakes are also not overpowered, as a snowman built featuring any of these is only worth 1 point if he wins, whereas a "pure" snowman is worth 2 points. And again we see yet another decision the player is faced with.
Dexterity is the other integral element of the game, as you have to physically push - using only your index finger - your snowman to the North Pole, shouting "Look at my snowman go!" before you go so that the other players know when to start pelting you with snowballs. You have to be fast, but you have to balance your snowman properly, and you have to be steady so that he doesn't fall over.
Games are fast and frantic - first player to 3 points wins. Honestly, a lot of the times I've played it the 3 point threshold has been ditched so that we can just keep chucking snowballs at each other. There's also something about the simplicity of the rules and the high energy of the game that seems to bring out the "competitive spirit" in many players. So long as you don't mind games with rules that tend towards a degree of elasticity, you'll have fun playing Snowman Dice. If you prefer games with rigid, comprehensive rules, you'll quickly become frustrated.
Personally speaking, the more I play Snowman Dice, the fonder I become of the game. I recently took the game over to my parent's house as I thought that my mum might find it fun. My dad - who normally just sits out whenever I bring a game over - happened to be in the room when I was explaining the game to my mum, and I gave each of them 5 of the dice as I talked through the game, really just expecting to give them an overview of how it worked.
We ended up playing several rounds of the game, all three of us laughing and jeering at one another.
That my dad entered into the game without the need for any persuasion was really special. After playing he enthused about how simple - yet clever - the game was; how much he liked the fact that it all came in a wee snowball-shaped bag; and how fun it was just to play. (He wasn't impressed with the North Pole token, however!) This really exemplifies what I mean about becoming fonder the more I play the game.
Behold! A wild snowman appeared!
Snowman Dice is the sort of game you'll want in your collection if you're the type of gamer who is evangelical about the hobby. It occupies a similar area to games like Sushi Go! in that it will appeal to a wide demographic, will be friendly to children and adults, whilst still being entertaining to gamers who have been around the block. At £15 RRP it's an absolute bargain - I'd go as far as to say it's an auto-include for most all collectors of tabletop games.
I was taken with the game the moment I laid eyes on it, but the fact that it drew in a more reluctant gamer like my dad has meant that it's sky-rocketed in my estimations. Where it's perhaps not a game for the crowd that will fret about "game weight", Snowman Dice is a game for everyone else.

New access onto the A361 North Devon Link Road and to serve the new development to the East of Tiverton (Tiverton Eastern Urban Extension) as without it there would be significant traffic pressure on the existing road network.
The junction will accommodate the 1,500 dwellings planned for the east of Tiverton and 30,000m² employment floor-space allocated within the Local Plan, with the potential to unlock further development to the east in future.
As well as providing access to the development, the junction will reduce pressure on sensitive locations such as Blundell's School by diverting traffic away from Halberton and Blundell's Road.
The A361 is of strategic importance as it provides the connection between Northern Devon, Torridge and North Cornwall and the rest of the country.

Anti-governemnt protests in Tehran in 2017
Iran journalist who fueled 2017 protests sentenced to death
Reporter arrested after running website posting embarrassing videos and information about Iranian officials, spreading messages about upcoming protests and sharing videos from demonstrations
Iran on Tuesday sentenced a journalist to death whose online work helped inspire nationwide economic protests in 2017.
Ruhollah Zam returned to Iran under unclear circumstances and was subsequently arrested. Judiciary spokesman Gholamhossein Esmaili announced Zam's sentence on Tuesday.

Zam ran a website called AmadNews that posted embarrassing videos and information about Iranian officials.
He had been living and working in exile in Paris before being convinced into returning to Iran, where he was arrested in October 2019.
Zam later appeared in televised confessions admitting his wrongdoings and offering an apology for his past activities.
Zam ran a channel on the messaging app Telegram that spread messages about upcoming protests in 2017 and shared videos from the demonstration.
That gained him widespread notoriety at the time, including from Iranian authorities wanting to end the protests.
An anti-government march in Tehran during the 2017 protests
Telegram shut down the channel over Iranian government complaints it spread information about how to make gasoline bombs. The channel later continued under a different name.
Zam is the son of Shi'ite cleric Mohammad Ali Zam, a reformist who once served in a government policy position in the early 1980s.
The cleric wrote a letter published by Iranian media in July 2017 in which he said he wouldn't support his son over AmadNews' reporting and messages on its Telegram channel.
Pro-government supporters protesting in Tehran
The initial spark for the 2017 protests was a sudden hike in food prices. Many believe that hard-line opponents of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani instigated the first demonstrations in the conservative city of Mashhad in eastern Iran, trying to direct public anger at the president. But as protests spread from town to town, the backlash turned against the entire ruling class.
Soon, cries directly challenging Rouhani and even Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei could be heard in online videos shared by Zam.
The 2017 protests reportedly saw some 5,000 people detained and 25 killed.


The Winning Group's margin was 1m57s from Asko Appliances (James Dorron, Harry Bethwaite, Marcus Ashley-Jones), with The Kitchen Maker-Caesarstone (Jordan Girdis, Tom Quigley, Lachlan Doyle) a further 31s back in third place.
Bing Lee (Micah lane) finished fourth, ahead of Vintec (Kirk Mitchell) and Smeg (Michael Coxon).
The lead changed several times in the flukey wind conditions as the fleet headed for the windward mark after the start, but Vintec, The Kitchen Maker-Caesarstone, Winning Group and Asko Appliances were always in the leading group.
Vintec won the battle for the lead and held a narrow lead over The Kitchen Maker-Caesarstone as spinnakers were set for the run back to the bottom mark.
Most of the fleet sailed the left hand side of the course, past Nielesen Park to Steele Point, but Asko Appliances and John Winning's Yandoo elected to sail on the northern shore.
At the twin buoys bottom mark, the Asko Appliances team elected to go to the buoy on the left while Vintec and The Kitchen Maker chose the other buoy.
Asko's move won the day and the NSW champions soon opened up a break over the fleet.
The experienced Winning Group team was now making a move on the lead and grabbed the lead from Asko Appliances as the pair approached the windward mark.
As the light breeze had also split the fleet and the time the race was now taking had blown out well above the time to stage two races, the decision was made to shorten the course.
The approaching liner made the decision a no-brainer.
Winning Group was superb in the fading breeze on the run home and the winning margin increased dramatically.

Beer and art come together for Urmston exhibition!
This Wednesday Art By Volume is holding its very first exhibition in The Assembly Beerhouse, Urmston. The project re-imagines classic and popular beers as a vintage vinyl series of prints, with proceeds of each print sale going to Shelter.
The awesome prints, perfect for beer fans, will be displayed for the first time at The Assembly on Station Road in Urmston from 5pm this Wednesday 6th February. The beer house will be open for those looking to view or purchase the art to view the prints up close before Art by Volume begin selling the prints online later this month.
The project created by Urmston based beer fan and designer Andy Heggs, started as an idea over a beer in The Assembly late last year, as he spotted an interesting creative crossover between beer and music, with beer fans looking for cool artwork to display their favourite beers and breweries. The original prints were created for The Assembly, but after sharing them on social media Andy quickly found there was an appetite for the prints from beer-fans, breweries and bars alike.
Prints on exhibition this Wednesday include Faith by Northern Monk Brew Co., Railway Porter by The Five Points Brewing Co., Jaipur by Thornbridge Brewery, and Transmission by Northern Brewing Co.
Art by Volume's name came from the brewing term ABV, which stands for Alcohol by Volume, with each print the same size as a 12 inch record cover.
Prints will go on sale later this month, and will be available to buy from £10 each, with £2.50 from every sale going to homeless charity Shelter.

TEDxDrogheda is a non-profit event and organizers would welcome any sponsorship or contribution from companies or individuals.
The inaugural TEDxDrogheda event took place in the Droichead Arts Centre on 17th September 2016 and gave eight local and national speakers the opportunity to put a personal spin on the theme of future wealth.
The speakers included well-known TV presenter and journalist Bibi Baskin, Drogheda architect Emmet Humphreys, Professor Thomas Cooney from Ardee, and 18 year old Elle Loughran from Termonfekin. All the speakers fully embraced the TEDx mission of coming up with a big idea worth spreading.
It was the first time the presitgious TED brand was seen in the North East, and following the success of the inaugural event, the organising committee is very hopeful of getting the licence renewed and turning it into an annual event.
Video uploads from the day will be accessible to the general public on Youtube and on the TEDxDrogheda website in a couple of weeks.
The challenge for the speakers was to engage the audience with short thought-provoking, idea-generating, and ultimately, entertaining talks.
"We have received fantastic feedback from all the speakers, who have described it as a major 'bucket list' achievement for them", said Anna Kurtisa, Office Manager at the Mill Enterprise Hub, which won the TEDx licence for Drogheda. "And we really appreciate the members of the public who came to the Droichead Theatre to support the event, some of whom want to apply to be speakers next year".
The organizing committee consisted of Graham O'Rourke – Chairman of The Mill Enterprise Hub; Alan Costello – CEO of Ruby Consulting; Orla Moloney – acting Director of Droichead Arts Centre; Anna Kurtisa – office manager at The Mill Enterprise Hub; and Orlaith Carmody – Managing Director of Mediatraining.ie.
Organising committee (L-R): Graham O'Rourke, Anna Kurtisa, Orlaith Carmody, Alan Costello.
TEDxDrogheda is coming to the North-East of Ireland. TEDxDrogheda is officially launched by Gavin Duffy, RTE's Dragon's Den, on Wednesday 8th June 2016. It will take place in the Droichead Arts Centre on 17th September 2016 and will provide a broad interpretation of the theme "FutureWealth", with presentations by speakers from our local community and further afield. A call out for speakers is currently taking place on TEDxDrogheda website: https://tedxdrogheda.com/ , deadline for submissions – 8th July 2016.
The organizing committee consists of Graham O'Rourke – Chairman of The Mill Enterprise Hub; Anna Kurtisa – administrator at The Mill Enterprise Hub; Alan Costello – CEO of Ruby Consulting; Orla Moloney – Director of Droichead Arts Centre; and Orlaith Carmody – former RTE news reporter and Managing Director of Mediatraining.ie.
"We are interested in asking whether the concept of FutureWealth is related to money or whether it involves something much broader such as creativity, social equality, health or environment", said Orla Moloney, the Director of Droichead Arts Centre. TEDxDrogheda represents technology, the arts, education, youth programmes, business and not-for-profit organisations. Our common aim is to reach a diverse cross-section of our community and ensure a truly inspirational set of topics and talks.
Because TEDx events are intentionally small, designed to be intimate events that provoke discussion and promote connection, the seating at TEDxDrogheda will be limited to 100. "We are seeking an audience representing the broadest possible range of the community, including local residents and other members of the general public who are inspired by ideas and interested in connecting with others who share the same passion for knowledge", said Graham O'Rourke.
Tickets will go on sale this month, priced at €30 for a Standard Ticket, and €15 for a Concession Ticket (students, unemployed, and senior members 65+). For more information, please visit https://tedxdrogheda.com/ or follow @TEDxDrogheda on Facebook and Twitter for instant updates.

There is not denying it, as much as we don't want it to be true (well I don't at least) Summer is coming to an end and Fall is upon us. As much as I will miss pool parties and ice cream weather, I do really love the change in temperature and the feeling of Fall. It inspires me to slow down and spend more cozy time at home. It also gets me in the mood to bake and one thing I really love baking in the Fall is pie!
This pie is my in between seasons pie – Grasshopper Pie. It is light and fresh so it reminds me of Summer, but the crust is so decadent and chocolate-y which makes me feel like Fall. Grasshopper pie is a fun, nostalgic treat that was popular in the 1950's and 60's. You may remember your mom or grandma whipping it up, I do. It gets its name from the green color that usually comes from using green crème de menthe or green food coloring in the filling. While I love the funky retro color I also like that you can adapt this recipe to use better for you ingredients with no funky stuff.
Traditionally this is a chiffon pie made with a cookie crust and I'm keeping up with tradition using Otis Spunkmeyer Double Chocolate Cookie to make the cookie pie crust. This cookie crust is super easy to make. It requires 1¼ cups of cookie crumbs – 6 Otis Spunkmeyer Double Chocolate Cookies (1 box) – plus 5 tablespoons of melted butter.
Pulse the cookies in a food processor until they form a crumb mixture. Pour the cookie crumbs into a mixing bowl and add the melted butter. Mix this together until it is combined. Press the double chocolate cookie mixture into a pie pan evenly. Place this into the refrigerator and chill to harden.
The filling requires fresh mint, cream, marshmallows and mint extract. You can choose to use crème de menthe and a few drops of food coloring if you are so inclined in place of the mint extract and fresh mint that I am suggesting.
Steep together the milk and the mint. Heat together the strained mint milk with marshmallows to form a smooth marshmallow mixture.Whip up some heavy cream to form soft peaks and mix in the marshmallow mixture. Spread the filling into the chilled chocolate pie crust base and chill.
This recipe can be made a few hours ahead or the day before you want to enjoy it. It doesn't require much and provides so much pie joy. Next time you are feeling nostalgic or just feeling like some pie, go grab some Otis Spunkmeyer Cookies and make yourself at Grasshopper Pie. It will be well worth it!
AND if you need more of a reason to bake yourself a cookie crust pie – Otis Spunkmeyer has teamed up with No Kid Hungry this back to school season, with limited time "go orange" packaging on all three of their delicious cookies. For every carton of these cookies purchased, $0.25 cents will be donated to No Kid Hungry, bringing us one step closer to helping hungry children across the country have access to the healthy foods they need.
Press the mixture into a pie pan, making a smooth base and sides with your hands or the back of a spoon. Put this into the refrigerator to chill to harden. In a saucepan over low gentle heat, heat the whole milk with the fresh mint leaves. Once the milk starts to foam take off of heat and set aside. Allow to steep together for 20 minutes.
In a medium bowl, whisk the cream until it starts to hold soft peaks. Once soft peaks are form, while still whisking, add the cooled marshmallow mixture. This filling should be thick but still soft, not dry, so that it is easy to scoop out of the bowl into the chilled pie crust.
Take the remaining crushed cookie and sprinkle it over the top of the pie, add a garnish of fresh mint if desired. Serve.
I'm proud to partner with Otis Spunkmeyer for this Grasshopper Pie recipe. While I am being sponsored by Otis Spunkmeyer for my posts and activities, all opinions expressed are my own, and all claims or program details shared should be verified at OtisSpunkmeyer.com or with the appropriate manufacturers.


Arthritis is the bane of old age. Inflamed joints, swelling, pain… Even if you don't have arthritis, you surely know a few people suffering from this chronic disorder. An umbrella term referring to over 100 types of joint disease, arthritis affects about 53 million adults in the U.S. alone. Medications are often prescribed to ease the symptoms and improve patients' quality of life, while surgery is an option in more severe cases.
Yet, if you're looking for a natural way to alleviate your arthritis—or if you're being proactive and want to take some preventive measures—look no further than your diet. As mentioned, arthritis is an inflammatory condition, meaning that you can reduce your pain and other symptoms by consuming a diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods. Take note of the following kitchen staples as they can make your life easier and less painful.
Olive oil. What is olive oil not good for? Because of its high content of essential fatty acids and anti-inflammatory properties, olive oil should be your oil of choice. If you don't like cooking with olive oil, opt for canola instead.
Nuts. Red meat may promote inflammation, so try replacing your serving of meat with a quarter-cup of nuts. You will meet your protein needs without worrying about saturated fats and cholesterol. Just make sure you buy the unsalted variety.
Whole grains. If you've already made a switch from white bread to whole grain, let's take it one step further and diversify your diet with additional whole grains like quinoa, bulgur, or barley. They make a perfect side and are a great source of fiber and nutrients.
Ginger. Well-known for its medicinal and anti-inflammatory properties, ginger adds a zesty touch to any dish or drink. Even if you're not a fan of this flavorful root, give it a try. Add some minced ginger to a stir fry or put a slice into your tea. You will gradually get used to the taste and will feel more comfortable using it to cook.
Salsa. A fun way to boost your intake of vitamin C from tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, and other veggies. Eat it as a dip, side dish, or sauce.
Apples. Another awesome snack option rich in fiber and antioxidants. "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" is a saying for a reason.
Dark chocolate. Yes, you can have chocolate too. Just make sure it's at least 60 percent cocoa. Antioxidants in dark chocolate will take care of inflammation, while the high cocoa content prevents you from overindulging in sugar. A half an ounce is a good daily dose.
As you can see, an anti-inflammatory diet is not as boring as it sounds. Adding these foods to your daily menu will please your palate and your aching joints too. Whether you are suffering from arthritis or are simply looking for a way to improve your health, these foods will only benefit you in the long run.

Q: Supplying a new certificate in WiX patch when old one expires Background
I'm doing research for my work on determining if WiX is a viable alternative to InstallShield.  So I've been testing every scenario that our work has faced, to ensure that WiX can handle them.  However, I'm stumped on one issue.  When a certificate is about to expire, we'd need to create a patch that includes the new certificate, and signed by the old certificate before it expires, to allow for seamless patching without admin elevation prompts.
Problem
There isn't much documentation about how to do exactly this on the internet.  I've tried adding
<DigitalCertificate Id="MyNewCertificate" SourceFile="{PATH_TO_NEW_CERTIFICATE}"/>

to the PatchCertificates element in wxs file for generating MSI files, then using the old and new MSI files to generate a MSP file.  When I open the MSP file with 7zip, I can see that the new certificate is embedded in it.  When I test it on a locked-down account, this patch was applied without elevation prompt, but the next patch that was signed by new certificate shows the elevation prompt.
What I've tried
I tried following the steps in https://wyrdfish.wordpress.com/2012/07/20/writing-a-parallel-update/ for creating a "parallel" update, but making modifications to have it work with PatchCreation, not Patch.  I matched all the attribute changes, but it still shows the elevation prompt.
Wyrdfish commented saying "It's fun when the certificate expires though as you need to use a hotfix to deliver the new certificate which is signed by the old certificate before it expires so you can then sign by the new certificate in future patches. " in http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Require-admin-rights-to-msp-td7586837.html, but didn't provide details on how to do so.  The thread is two years old, so I highly doubt I'd get a response there.
I also tried supplying /ac parameter in signtool.exe with the new certificate, but got cross-signing error.
What exactly am I doing wrong?  In the new MSI file, there are no other changes, only the new DigitalCertificate element, which is reflected in the MSP.  Do I need to include some kind of file change or something?  Or is the signing process the issue?

A: Found the issue with my patching. For anyone who runs in similar issue, you need to have the ProductCode specified in the PatchCreation's PatchSequence element, it is the same GUID as the one used for ID of product for building MSI. I didn't have this reference, which apparently caused issues. Now it doesn't elevate for admin.  Combine this with the steps instructed in the link provided in question, and you're set for LUA patching.

Quote: The American Association of Insurance Services (AAIS) is turning to the IBM Blockchain platform to support a new automated insurance reporting tool, the organization announced Wednesday.
Why did they pick Hyperledger Fabric?
Quote: "Hyperledger Fabric's support for private and confidential transactions allows insurers to share data with the network, knowing that they own their data and have control over who has access to it," said IBM Global Insurance Industry global manager Sandip Patel.


Earlier in the week, I'd got the cable for the ECU so I could see what was happening. The power was dropping too low, and after getting a brand new second battery and wiring that to power the ECU while the starter was powered by the other, it didn't help. So I decided to bolster the earthing points.
This is a 180A earthing strap, and I've wired it to a bolt that joins the engine and the gearbox and the chassis.
I'll also get another one and wire it to the cylinder head (Scooby recommended that).
Anyway, the main aim of today was to get the charge cooler plumbed in. The first part was very easy - I already had everything pretty much done from beforehamd, and push-fitting it together, it looked good.
The only problem was the throttle body. The outlet from the charge cooler is 57mm, and the throttle body inlet is 60mm. I'd tried to push the silicon hose over the end, but it really didn't want to know - and no-one seems to make a 57mm to 60mm conversion pipe.
I was wondering how to mount it - originally, I was going to make a T-shaped bracket that I would weld to the engine mount, and use a couple of cable-ties to hold it in place. However, I found that if I moved the fuel filter out of the way, I could actually use a couple of cable-tie holders glued to the top of the engine mount instead.
This is significantly tidier than the intercooler!
I made a bracket to hold the header tank.
And another one to hold the water pump.
And then I started on the plumbing.
It was getting late, but there was just enough time to get the rest of the pipework roughly in place.

"Eve, the Apple of My Eye" is a single by the Irish indie rock band, Bell X1, taken from the band's second album Music in Mouth.

It was eventually released on 11 June 2004 in Ireland and 14 June 2004 in the UK, having been originally scheduled for release on 28 May in Ireland and 7 June in the UK. It entered the Irish Singles Chart on 17 June 2004, spending two weeks there and peaking at number 18. The single included a cover of the Justin Timberlake song "Like I Love You".

Outside Ireland it is best known in the United States where it featured as background music in a scene from one of their television shows, The O.C.

Original
"Eve" was originally written and performed when Bell X1 were Juniper (featuring Damien Rice). Called "Never", it was released on the Neither Am I album, before being rewritten and retitled "Eve, the Apple of My Eye" for their second album, Music In Mouth. As "Never" it was performed at a 2FM session and released on a four-tracker as the third track on a record that included "Expensive Silence", "Then Go" and "Deliverance".

Use in television
The song was famously used in a scene of United States teen drama television series The O.C in which two of the female characters, played by Mischa Barton and Olivia Wilde, shared a lesbian kiss.

Paul Noonan later commented that they initially "thought someone was taking the piss" after receiving an e-mail from the show through their Hotmail account to seek permission.

This incident gave the band a wider appeal. They embarked on their debut US tour in 2003 as a consequence. "Eve, the Apple of My Eye" subsequently went on to feature on the music compilation, Music from the OC: Mix 4. However the band were also on the receiving end of some "rather ridiculous" hate email from some angry American Christians. Noonan said: "We actually got irate emails from some Christian folks linking us with that behaviour." In 2008, a Bell X1 gig on their US tour was attended by members of the cast. Noonan said: "A couple of them came to see us play the Viper Room in LA... and we didn't know who they were."

With increased record sales, David Geraghty later said to Ed Power of the Irish Independent: "The OC thing was a huge deal and we have no regrets about doing it. It opened doors for us abroad".

As a result of The O.C. being broadcast in hundreds of countries Bell X1 were reported to have earned much money from the royalties.

Live performance
George Whyte in his Irish Independent review of the December 2006 concert at the Point Theatre—"A fair whack of the punters finally got what they wanted as the familiar piano strains of "Eve, The Apple Of My Eye" rang out, summoning screams of 'Oh my GOD, I LOVE this song!' from Abercrombie-clad teens everywhere".

A live performance of the song witnessed by the Irish Independent in 2009 was "delivered so movingly it's likely to raise goose-pimples".

Legacy
Sunday Tribune journalists Neil Dunphy and Una Mullally named it number 46 in their 2008 "ultimate playlist representing the top-50 Irish songs of all time", reminding readers that it was "chiefly known in the States as the soundtrack to that lesbian kiss in The OC".

The Barena collection is inspired by the distinctive dress code created by the people who lived the territory of the Venetian lagoon between the land and water. In the past, people in the baro traditionally wore versatile and functional clothing since they were farmers, hunters and fishermen. Many of the garments in the collection are reinterpretations of unique pieces found in museums, antique markets or books that portray old images. In fact, many of the wools specifically reproduced for the Barena collection come from the archives of the most prestigious mills in Veneto, which themselves are no longer in activity. Specific focus is given to construction details, making the garments unique in their simplicity.


Since 1993 more than 400 girls have been killed in Juarez, Mexico, and their bodies dumped in ditches. As of today, nobody knows who is responsible for these horrific deaths. Private investigator, Johnny Cash, goes undercover looking for a missing girl in Juarez and learns the shocking truth behind the murders.

Meet at Fosdem 2019 !
It's that period of the year again where we start preparing for Fosdem ! Even if preparing for FLOSSCon at the same time !! And this year, this will be my first Open Source Event since my illness last year. I tried to attend the Paris Open Source Summit 2018, but I made my travel request too late to be accepted internally, so I missed it (easy excuse to refuse, but my fault indeed). This time I made it early enough, but didn't get support. I must confess this is disappointing, and it has been a long time since I missed an event due to that. But I'll go anyway, paying myself the travel and hotel in Brussels, and of course, as a consequence, there will be no HPE logo on my slides.
Too bad as I'll be speaking about Redfish, the new standard for a Software Defined Infrastructure, which is a topic important for HPE and our SDI approach. I'll then pass more time covering python-redfish on which I've been able to restart the work recently.
I'm afraid it's a tendency in large corporations, not dedicated to FLOSS as it also happened at Intel for another speaker. The risk that corporations take is that their voice is less heard in our communities and also that they're much less trusted, and thus their speakers not chosen in the future, especially for such community oriented events.
Anyway, I'll be there, and will meet also the Mageia community gathering over there and enjoy the many conferences of course.
