LETTER TO THE SON OF MAN Vol.5 by Adeojo Kolawole Adeyemi Hannibal
Dear Son of Man,
How best can I express my disappointment in our dispositions as a nation than this little space afforded me to ventilate on issues beyond my power to alter? It is true, what you said in your last letter, that we take one minion step forward and two giant ones backwards. Your allegory about the driver and his passengers was on point with prejudice to the Nigerian state and its unpalatable leadership cum followership trail. If the passengers see nothing wrong in the reckless drive of their driver, I am afraid there is little or nothing to be done to avert a doomed journey. How much of our negligence and complacency are responsible for the wantonness of our leaders? How much of our indulgence renders leaders unaccountable? And just how much of our sycophancy emboldens their lordship over us? As followers, we are equally as culpable as our leaders in the ways we are being led when our reticency acknowledges a silent nod of approval every time we refuse to act or speak up.
This brings to light the recent distribution of sachet rice and a stipend of N200 by the self-professed messiah of the Ekiti people. His self-styled stomach infrastructure is practical theatrics on how to satiate immediate needs in deferment of tangible future developments. The stomach infrastructure concept addresses the need to build the stomach into gluttonous edifice and remodel its beneficiaries into ravenous automatons that will have no need for other human edifying structures, both physical and mental. The practice prioritises the urgent need to satisfy an immediate hunger by doling out meagre sums from the huge commonwealth available at the disposal of leaders in order to prepare an excusable route from questions that may arise from the incompetency and lack of vision from such leaders. While it should be noted that the case of Ekiti people is not peculiar in this dehumanising drive, what made it the more worrisome is the pliability of the people.
The governor had made his intention known, even when he was contesting, as a great advocate of "feed your stomach first and ask questions later", and like a people under hypnosis, they swarm around him as ants would a sugar mountain. It would only be right to say that the Ekitis set their standards too low when they became the butt of jokes during the preparation to the general elections and most specifically, the October 2014 gubernatorial election that brought in the "stomastructure" crooner. One would think such shame on a people that pride themselves first, as fountain of knowledge, and then, as a land of honour and integrity would be a watershed to head for a new direction, but it was never to be, as rather than chastise them it worsened their sense of self-worth and honour. It was not so much about the hubris of a people, than about the tool of oppression our leaders employ to keep our people in perpetual slavery, hunger, starvation, disorientation, poverty and underdevelopment by purchasing our minds with trivial aliments that can only gratify us now.
Such aliments are the mythological lotus that make us dreamier of a future, promised, that never materialises. Just how can these people task their governors on meaningful developments such as provision of basic social amenities; sound and qualitative primary healthcare, well equipped primary, secondary and tertiary schools, pliable roads, adequate waste disposal system, recreational facilities and a regulated social welfare and security? Leaders who give out fishes to their people than teach them how to fish are committing a crime against the intellectual enhancement and liberation of their people. They are at best shallow in ideas and the ideal principles of creative leadership that our pre-independence leaders bestowed on us.
Generally speaking, our long years of exposure to mediocre leadership ushered by the whimsical sojourns of the boys in khaki had toughened our edges to learn and discern what good leadership should be.
Still talking on the spates of happenings, Buhari had hugely rewarded the loyalty of his governors for standing by him during the hiatus that greeted his medical furlough by announcing the refunds of the Paris club deductions on state accounts. A list of what each state is meant to earn also went viral, according to the president, it was meant to pay the arrears of salaries the various states owed their workers. While tentative palliatives are usually a welcome development, what happens to long-lasting state sustenance policies like increasing internally generated revenues, increasing state outputs through mechanised farming at local government levels, increasing civil service's turnaround time and drawing up social benefits for citizens? Our economy would be the best for it when we eschew the impulsive need to receive bailouts at every point. The onus is also on all citizens and most especially transparency watchdogs to ask how these funds are disbursed, whether judiciously or not in few individuals' pockets as usual.
I must commend the government, most especially the CBN team and the minister of finance for the stability they brought to the foreign exchange rate. The Naira keeps growing stronger against the Dollar in relative sense. However, the ultimate commendation should be reserved till the time the effects are felt resoundingly in the prices of commodities. To a large extent, there is a palpable sense of economic fortuitousness and our people can look forward to extricating themselves from the trappings of economic recession that had led to the depression of so many people in recent times. Nigerians are now becoming more depressed to the point of suicide. While many of the suicides witnessed in recent weeks may be unconnected with economic state of the individuals involved, but one would be absolutely wrong to rule out the possibility of the state of economy contributing to the latest spates of suicides. This new culture alien to us is becoming increasingly entrenched in our psyche. Of the most notable are that of Dr Orji's, a seemingly well-to-do medical doctor, who asked his driver to halt in the middle of the third mainland bridge after receiving a phone call, dashed into the expansive lagoon without any explanation and that of an Urban and Regional Planning final year Lautech student who hanged himself with a cable. He was discovered dangling from the ceiling of his hostel room in an apparent suicidal move. We may need to look beyond the superficial into the deeper reasons why our people are embracing this cul-de-sac as the ultimate option to end it all. One may never know the meaning of solitude until one peeks into the irredeemable dark hole of despondency.
I should leave you now to continue with your research on things that hold more celestial rather than mundane priorities to you, but I must tell you that the Nigerian Police still remains its unremorseful, bias and partisan self. I said this as a fallout of the Ile-Ife crisis between the Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani communities, where the police as ordered by the IGP, Alhaji Idris, made a lopsided arrest of 20 people who are all of Yoruba descent. The swiftness with which the order was dispatched and the suspects moved away from the jurisdiction where the crime was supposedly committed had drawn the ire of so many commentators who saw the move as not only biased but a threat to national security and unity. What beats all right-thinking people's imagination is how a lopsided arrest of a group could be made in a crisis where two groups were involved. While it will not be good to excuse intolerance and ethnic violence in whatever form, it will be good that justice must not only be done, it must be seen to have been done. Maybe we would have had lesser of ethnic mistrusts as we have right now, if the police in their puerile zealotry had moved in quickly to arrest the masterminds of the mindless killings in Nimbo town, Enugu, in southern Kaduna, in Zaki Biam, Benue, the Rccg preacher killed in Kano, the southern woman beheaded by a mob of religious bigots for complaining that they move their ablution from the front of her shop and many more marauding massacres committed in recent memory, then we would have seen their zeal as a show of true patriotism, but they left us with no choice than to conclude that just because these perpetrators are Hausa/Fulani miscreants, all animals are equal but some are more equal than others.
Just as our senators preoccupy themselves with what cloth a summoned was supposed to appear in amidst allegation that his summon was a vindictive mission against the Comptroller General of the Nigerian Customs Services, who had refused to allow a car belonging to the senate president clearance through the ports without the appropriate customs duty, another allegation of certificate forgery and perjury reared its head against one of the hallowed chamber's vociferous senators, Dino Melaye. The dent continues against the legislative arm, which is supposed to set a pious precept worthy of emulation by Nigerians, as they have been described as a den of "legislathieves". Like a twin emotion of burying a brother very close to heart and welcoming a newborn son into this world at the same time, Nigerians remain in the precarious oscillation of looking forward to a brighter future and looking into the dire present that promises no golden future.
I must rush off to the scene where the body of Dr Allwell Orji had just been discovered in the CMS end of the Lagos lagoon by the combined team of marine police, LASEMA and sea divers. He would deliver this letter in tribute to all the depressed Nigerians who constantly battle the daily trappings of societal pressures that yank at their sanity and leave them at the whims of suicidal twists capped by callous governance.
Yours in pen

I have been MIA for a few days. Sorry about that.
One of my best pals Timm Hilty and his art gallery Silver Queen Fine Art was featured in In This Week this week, which is Northern Utah's guide to what's the what in town. Since the article was published, I see my friend Timmy's face everywhere! It makes me feel important. Yeah, I live vicariously through my much more popular (and in this case, famous!) and cool friends.
Check the Gallery out (ok, ok, read the article too!).
This is the warmest, friendliest, most comfortable and fun gallery you will ever step your foot in. Oh, and the artists' talent is INSANE. He features 21 different fine artists in the gallery, a couple of which are local, like this guy, whose work I absolutely adore.
One of my favorite artists' work is prominently displayed here. I actually had the pleasure of spending a weekend with him and his lovely lady when they were in town from New York City back in February for his showing at Silver Queen. I acquired my first original piece. See below.
I could literally spend thousands upon thousands of dollars at the gallery. If I literally had thousands upon thousands of dollars to spend. In the meantime, I will just enjoy the gallery located in beautiful and historic Park City, lounging on the custom sofa, enjoying a beverage with the gallery cat, Midas and my dear friend Timm.

Paul Bird C.Ss.R. (born 17 July 1949) is the Roman Catholic Bishop of Ballarat.

Bird was born in Newcastle, New South Wales, on 17 July 1949. He attended Catholic primary and high schools in the Newcastle area. He joined the formation program of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer in 1968 and studied at the Redemptorist seminary at Wendouree near Ballarat for four years before completing his studies at the Yarra Theological Union in Melbourne. He was ordained as a priest on 17 May 1975 and appointed Bishop of Ballarat on 1 August 2012.

In January 2016, Bishop Paul Bird became the first bishop in Australia to publicly join a global movement showing support for clergy child sex abuse victims by tying bright coloured ribbons to the Loud Fence outside St Patrick's Cathedral, Ballarat. Bishop Bird said that "If there is just silence between two people, then one doesn't know what the other is thinking", and that "This gesture is a way to recognise the suffering and publicly show support to victims, survivors and their families".

In 2016, Bird announced that the estate of a former Bishop of Ballarat Ronald Mulkearns, which had been left to the diocese, would be set aside to help victims of child sexual abuse committed by priests in the diocese. As bishop, Mulkearns had facilitated moving the priests to different parishes.

In August 2019, Bird acknowledged jailed former Melbourne Bishop George Pell's ties to the Ballarat Diocese and apologized for the history of sex abuse in the Diocese as well.

Sunny Leone Wraps Up The Shooting Of Her Upcoming Tamil Thriller, 'Shero'
Avya Sharma
It takes an incredible amount of work for any actor to work the physical aspects of the character they are portraying. For Sunny Leone, it was twice challenging as the actor not only physically got into the skin of her character to look the part in her next Shero but also learnt a new language for the film-Tamil. Helmed by Sreejith Vijayan, the multilingual project was an all-consuming film for Sunny. During an interview, the filmmaker said that Sunny was so consumed in the character that she prepared for it to the tee – from doing her own stunts to learning lines in Tamil.
The gorgeous actress took to her social media to announce the wrap of the film, posing with her director Sreejith.
Have a look at the post here—
A post shared by Sunny Leone (@sunnyleone
For the unversed, Shero is touted to be a psychological thriller that tells the tale of Sarah Mike, a US-born woman with roots in India, played by Sunny. One chance holiday and everything around her changes, taking her on an unbelievable journey to quench her quest for truth.
Filmed in Munnar and other parts of Kerala, as the project wrapped up, Sunny told us
Shero is an important story for me. I resonated with Sarah (my character) from the minute I read the script. She is power packed as a person and in order to do justice to her, I knew I had to bring on my A-game. I prepped extensively for it, from learning the language to getting action. Physical transformation was a key part of the film but for me emotionally syncing into her psyche was as important. I hope the film connects with people, the same way it did with me.
I am super excited about this one and sure can't wait to see what Sunny has in store for us!

Dr. Katya Mauritson of the Oral Health Unit made a great presentation to the Colorado Board of Health on Oral Health as a Winnable Battle. Among other topics, Dr. Mauritson talked about the importance of community water fluoridation and the percentage of Colorado served.
Modern science shows that fluoridation is ineffective at reducing tooth decay, harmful to health and a waste of money.
Emergency room are flooded with people in dental pain, costing taxpayers millions of dollars, because 80% of dentists refuse Medicaid patients, 130 million Americans don't have dental insurance. Many of those that do can't afford dentistry's high out-of-pocket costs. No American is or ever was fluoride-deficient. Too many are dentist-deficient.

Today's radiologists are under tremendous pressure to read an ever increasing number of images and provide rapid diagnosis. When x-ray exams alone contribute to 60 percent of imaging performed, the majority of cases routed as STAT, how do you cut through the clutter to find the truly urgent ones, the ones that, if not read immediately could negatively impact patient care?
GE Healthcare has developed a revolutionary new tool that is designed to quickly identify and help prioritize critical cases such as Pneumothorax.
Critical Care Suite, powered by Edison, is the first of its kind to embed artificial intelligence in an x-ray imaging device, turning what was once a conceptual idea into reality.
Listen to your peers from University of California, San Francisco, Humber River Hospital - Mahajan Imaging and St Luke's University.
Quality Care Suite1 includes Frontal Chest and Lung Field Detection algorithms. Quality Care Suite is designed to conduct an automated image quality check to detect errors on the acquisition system, such as improper patient positioning, thus enabling the technologist to become aware of possible error and have the opportunity to correct it if necessary before sending the image to the PACS.
Critical Care Suite is designed to deliver greater efficiency and better integrate technologists and radiologists – so patients can be the priority in the process.
Some of healthcare's most critical points of care occur in complex environments. Like in the ER, where immediacy is essential. Or in the NICU, where temperature is carefully controlled. Situations like these make it difficult to get the important diagnostic insights you need from a fixed radiography room.


Let's look at what we have been hearing. That with rates up, homebuyers will pay thousands of additional dollars on their mortgages. For example, on a $500,000 mortgage, an extra .5% in interest rate adds another $160 a month to the payment. In thirty years, the increased rate costs $57,000 more.
It's a bit more, but it is part of financing anything. Rates go up and down. That's how it works. Yes, rates have been steadily rising — from RECORD LOWS. If you look at the last twenty years, you will see that mortgage rates are looking pretty good when compared to some of the highest years. You can still get a mortgage, even if rates go up.
You may not be able to afford the home you really wanted, but you can afford a home. What is the difference that half-a-point will make for you? Well, you might not be able to afford a $300,000 mortgage, but you could a $285,000 one.
The best thing that rising rates has done is emphasized the importance of making smart decisions when purchasing a home. Rule number one — only buy what you can afford. This is increasingly important right now. Many homeowners have stretched themselves to get into homes that have record high appreciation. They now can't pay their adjustable-rate mortgages and can't sell for what they owe.
Buying what you afford isn't just a right now situation. When you are choosing an adjustable mortgage product, you have to look to see if you can afford the worst-case scenario of the highest possible interest rate. If you can't, you need a new plan or a new prospective home at a lower price.
You need to thoroughly understand all of the risks associated with different types of mortgages. There is fine print that can kill you. But what is causing most of the "payment shock" we are seeing this year is not in the fine print. You know that an adjustable mortgage will increase in interest rate. What you haven't done is sit down and see how that rate could increase your monthly payments.
You shouldn't be scared to go out and purchase a home or take out a mortgage right now. What you should be is wise. Make the right financial decisions for your family based on your budget, what you can afford and what the interest rate is right now. Buy what you can afford at a fixed rate and you won't have to worry about rates going up. If you find that you can't afford what you want right now at the given fixed rates, be assured that rates will go down eventually. Sit on your money and let it build up while you wait for the right time.
If you are looking on financing a major purchase, like a home or a car, take the time to educate yourself on all of the available options. Remember that everything is your decision. You aren't stuck with a certain rate, but you can jump into the wrong one. Interest rates will affect you and will affect your budget if you have substantial debt. You will have to make changes. But don't let these still historically low rates scare you into not receiving all of the advantages that owning a home can bring.
Financial Readiness: How Prepared Are You?
Home is where most people feel safe and comfortable. But sometimes — say, when a hurricane, flood, tornado, wildfire, or other disaster strikes — it's safest to pack up and go to another location.
When it comes to preparing for situations like weather emergencies, financial readiness is as important as a flashlight with fully charged batteries. Leaving your home can be stressful, but knowing that your financial documents are up-to-date, in one place, and portable can make a big difference at a tense time.
Conduct a household inventory. Make a list of your possessions and document it with photos or a video. This could help if you are filing insurance claims. Keep one copy of your inventory in your home on a shelf in a lockable, fireproof file box; keep another in a safe deposit box or another secure location.
– copies of other important financial and family records — or notes about where they are — including deeds, titles, wills, birth and marriage certificates, passports, and relevant employee benefit and retirement documents. Except for wills, keep originals in a safe deposit box or some other location. If you have a will, ask your attorney to keep the original document.
– a small amount of cash or traveler's checks. ATMs or financial institutions may be closed.
Choose an out-of-town contact. Ask an out-of-town friend or relative to be the point of contact for your family, and make sure everyone in your family has the information.
After some emergencies, it can be easier to make a long distance call than a local one.
Update all your information. Review the contents of your household inventory, your fireproof box, safe deposit box, and the information for your out-of-town contact at least once a year.


How to Pick the Right One Kitchenware Products?
Daily dietary course is one activity, which has to be managed properly, that to on a daily basis. It is important to have a good kitchenware, for uninterrupted cooking process. The selection of different kinds of kitchenware depends upon the usual kind and quantity of food being cooked.
Food that needs to be cooked for longer duration should be cooked in iron containers, so that during the process of cooking the iron content of the container gets mixed into the food and make it mineral rich.
Microwave does not support all the kind of utensils, so if one has to use more of microwave in the kitchen; one should go for microwave friendly kitchenware.
The decision also depends upon the health benefits that a few kinds of utensils provide. For example water stored in copper tumbler at night, should be consumed in morning. It provides lot of essential minerals required in the body.
If the kitchen space is not very large then kitchenware like freeze, and other appliances that occupy a good kitchen space, should be purchased accordingly. The kitchen should not look over crowded will all unnecessary kitchenware.
With the advent of e-commerce and development of manufacturing unit across globe, one can find goods that are multipurpose in nature. Wonderchef is a portal that is specialized in the selling of kitchenware products worldwide. These goods prove to be cost effective and also space effective. Lets us take an example of a microwave with grill. It is dual purpose kitchenware, which can be used to grill a sandwich and make a toast, both at the same time. It saves the cost of an additional kitchenware and also saves the precious space of kitchen floor. One can find such goods readily in any online store which will also provide good discount offers on the desired goods.
Excellent resources Author! Well I just understood the importance of using the right kitchenware & the usage of it. Really love the way you have explained every single point with an example & it makes my decision to shop for kitchenware much quicker. Wonderchef is by Sanjeev Kapoor & thanks for pointing that website out to me. My family is a big fan of him & we would be ordering a couple of new kitchenware's soon from them.
Sharing the article with my Mom! Well phrased into words to define the importance of safety using kitchenware utensils. We in India love to do something called as "Jugaad" which keeps our work going. We need to understand how much risk we can to our lives. Things should be cooked in proper utensils to avoid risks.

Steve Cohen, Meet Al Capone
Jim Hightower,
Al Capone was a bad boy. How bad? He cheated on his income taxes.
He went to prison in 1931 for that. Not for the people he gunned down, nor for any of the other gross illegalities the guy committed as a notorious Chicago mobster. Tax evasion landed Capone in the slammer.
Now comes Steven Cohen. He's not known to have killed anyone and is not a mobster. (Capone didn't think he was one either — he called himself a "businessman.")
Yet Cohen, a multibillionaire Wall Street hedge-fund huckster, shares with Capone the unpleasant experience of being pursued by the authorities — and possibly getting nailed on the Wall Street equivalent of tax evasion.
Cohen's hedge fund, SAC Capital, was caught pocketing a gazillion or so in profits through the criminal enterprise of insider trading. But Steve was able to dodge those criminal charges in the usual Wall Street way: by buying off the government. SAC paid the Securities and Exchange Commission about $600 million to make the problem go away, without having to admit guilt or be bothered by a trial. Neat.
Yeah, a $600 million fine would be a death sentence for you and me, but it's barely a hiccup for Cohen & Company — his outfit typically pulls in about a billion dollars a year just in "management" fees, not counting profits on investments. So Steve skated. Or so he thought. Now, his firm is fighting another criminal case.
And it turns out that Mary Jo White, the new chief of the Securities and Exchange Commission, is no pushover for hotshot finaglers. Suddenly, Cohen finds himself facing a civil charge: "failure to supervise" his hedge-fund traders. That might seem minor, but like Capone's tax evasion, it could be very major, for the SEC's punishment can include being barred from conducting Wall Street business.
See, when regulators have the will, there really are ways to go after Wall Street lawlessness.
National radio commentator, writer, public speaker, and author of the book, Swim Against The Current: Even A Dead Fish Can Go With The Flow, Jim Hightower has spent three decades battling the Powers That Be on behalf of the Powers That Ought To Be – consumers, working families, environmentalists, small businesses, and just-plain-folks.

We founded Global Children's Rescue upon realizing the challenges that a victim's friends and family endure to gather adequate resources to find their missing loved ones. As private investigators, we conducted countless missing children cases pro bono understanding that many families do not have the financial means readily available to mount an effective search.
Our team is comprised of former federal, state, local, and military investigators.
We have over 60 years combined experience working law enforcement and private sector investigations.
We have operated in some of the most hazardous conditions both here in the U.S. and abroad.
Our mission is to educate parents and children on the warning signs of human trafficking to help prevent abductions from occurring. Being aware of a potential threatening situation before it happens could mean the difference between life and death.
Fully licensed to investigate and operate anywhere in the U.S. and abroad. International teams and assets in-place to assist with rescues and intelligence gathering. Electronic surveillance and information analysis capabilities to assist in locating a missing child.
Because our staff is comprised of trained and licensed investigators, we handle every aspect of case from start to finish without outsourcing to other companies or subcontractors.We offer full financial transparency to maintain the highest levels of trust and confidence in the foundation and it's members.
We found it heartbreaking to be unable to properly assist these families due to lack of funding. None of us wants to look a parent in the eye and tell them that their child's fate might be determined by a dollar amount. Global Children's Rescue gives us the ability to overcome this obstacle along with bringing expert investigators and a dedicated team to the cause.
We vow to devote all of our resources to our investigations immediately upon being notified. We dedicate a team of full-time investigators, volunteer coordinators, and law enforcement liaisons to assist families in bringing their child home swiftly and safely.

Hance McCain was one of my high school basketball coaches. He was also the Director of the Green Jacket Club and through this he got me involved in the Bulls Club. I joined because USF is my Alma mater and for my love for sports, in particular college basketball. Over the years, I have been very fortunate to meet coaches, administrators, and donors that have made my involvement very enjoyable. My family has always felt welcomed and we have made many friends.
My favorite USF Athletics memory is working with the late great Lee Roy Selmon. For example, I once asked him if he would speak at a Rotary Function in Ocala for one of my clients. He said YES but wanted to ride up there together. We drove up there exchanges stories, laughing all the way. Seem like we got there in no time. Once there, the people came from everywhere. To them, he was a celebrity. He talked, took pictures, and autographed a lot of brochures. Everyone had a great time, but I treasured the individual time we had with each other. I am honored to call him FRIEND.

Missions in the Digital Age: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
By Jaclyn S. Parrish
By: Jaclyn S. Parrish	August 7, 2017
There was a time when the thought of international missions conjured up images of a complete and irrevocable break with the familiar world: a hut on the savannah, a shack in a Chinese village, a boat on the open ocean. But as the twenty-first century dawned, we found ourselves at sea on stranger tides. Today, Maasai warriors exchange money with their cellphones. Refugees livestream their journeys across the Mediterranean. News of terrorist attacks breaks on Twitter moments after the bombs explode.
The digital age is here, in all its glory and shame, and missions will never be the same.
The Good: Connection
For the first time in human history, we can communicate instantaneously across continents, even oceans.
Of all the weights that can crush a missionary's soul, loneliness is one of the heaviest. Even those who are sent together with spouses and children still feel the absence of the friends and family they leave behind for the sake of the call. Over time, the calendars of their lives fill with aching hollows where they would have had holidays, birthdays, family dinners, and all the beautiful and banal moments that characterize a life lived among familiar folk. But now, with a few taps of a screen, missionaries can find themselves suddenly and joyfully (sometimes tearfully) face-to-face with the people they miss the most.
Gone are the days when "staying connected" meant a handwritten letter twice a year. With even spotty internet service, missionaries can easily stay in touch with their home country. Grandparents can keep up with the daily shenanigans of their grandchildren through Facebook. Singles can attend weekly small group worship with their sending church through FaceTime. And urgent prayer requests can spread like lightning to prayer partners all over the world within minutes of being spoken (or typed). Digital technology is now available to administer the balm of real communication to the wounds of loneliness and separation.
Today's digital technology can either serve as powerful tools to build Christ's kingdom or devastating weapons aimed at destroying the life and soul of those on mission.
Moreover, digital tools and social media platforms have become key players in the daily work of missionaries. SIM cards the size of a thumbnail can equip oral learners with audio recordings of Scripture. iPhone videos allow missionaries to hurdle language barriers with recorded testimonies in the local language. Facebook groups quietly connect believers with seekers and allow conversations to take place in a shared online environment. Innumerable digital resources are now available to extend a missionary's reach.
The Bad: Distraction
As blessed as an aptly-timed Skype call can be, there is such a thing as being too connected back home. Like any of their stateside brothers and sisters, most missionaries must now contend with the temptation to disconnect from their local environment in favor of plugging exclusively into a digital one.
An ill-timed text message from home can cut short pivotal conversations with local unbelievers. YouTube can slowly gnaw away precious quiet time with the Lord. Pinterest can interrupt prayer-walking. In short, pressing into the local community in difficult and dangerous places is now twice as hard when the soft pillow of digital inanities constantly beckons.
What's more, the hyper-connectivity of the digital age can often leave missionaries in painful situations not of their own making. When a seeker peruses the conversation surrounding a "Christian" hashtag, will what they find pique their interest or break their heart? When refugees, battered smartphones in hand, see what American Christians are saying about refugees on Twitter, will what they read leave them tenderly open or fearfully closed to the words of Christian missionaries who greet them in a foreign land?
The Ugly: Addiction
For some missionaries, technology offers instant and limitless access to the very content that could destroy them, their families, and their work. Culture shock and added stress can easily push missionaries into habit-forming behaviors online, such as overindulging in social media or gaming. But some addiction is far more sinister.
According to the Barna Group, "the people who are the third most likely to use porn are teen/young adult males in the church." Forty-one percent of practicing Christian males between the ages of thirteen to twenty-four regularly seek out pornography, almost exclusively on digital platforms. While this statistic is well behind the areligious members of their generation (a staggering 72 percent), it's devastating all the same. Porn use and addiction has an indelible effect on the missions force.
According to IMB policy, ongoing, unrepentant pornography addiction disqualifies men and women from missionary service. Each day, thousands of unreached people enter an eternity apart from Christ, while four out of ten of our young men are too entrapped in sexual addiction to bring them the good news of Christ's freedom.
Even for men and women who have experienced liberation from porn addiction, the temptation remains. Porn is always available on the internet, quietly lurking in the shadows of the same devices that allow them to spend Christmas morning with their grandparents or to share The Jesus Film with a local friend.
Thankfully, Paul's ringing affirmation to the Corinthian church applies to recovered porn addicts as much as to anyone else: "But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Cor. 15:57, ESV). Like all sinners redeemed by Christ, those who have struggled with porn in the past can confidently proclaim, "But [we] were washed . . . sanctified [and] justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God" (1 Cor. 6:11, ESV). For "where sin increased, grace abounded all the more" (Rom. 5:20, ESV). Each year that passes in the digital age, we're likely to see more precious workers on the mission field who, when testifying to the possibility of freedom from addiction, speak from experience.
Today's digital technology can either serve as powerful tools to build Christ's kingdom or devastating weapons aimed at destroying the life and soul of those on mission. Whether the digital age is good, bad, or ugly, depends on how we choose to use these tools. Our time, like every age that has come before, will be what we make of it.

BMW Dealer Donates Car to Emergency Services
The emergency service in Budaörs, just southwest of Budapest, has received a very special donation: a BMW 530d model to support the emergency services, courtesy of local dealer BMW Rack Auto.
The 24-hour emergency service has been available in the Budaörs and Törökbálint area since 2001, providing ambulance and emergency services and assisting GPs 24 hours a day. The 22-strong emergency crew in Budaörs performs the above tasks with a single car.
Today, however, Ádám Rédei, Managing Director of Rack Autó Ltd., handed over to them the keys of a new ambulance and emergency service car. Tamás Wittinghoff, mayor of Budaörs, and Sándor Elek, mayor of Törökbálint, were also present at the handover ceremony.
"When we were approached by the Budaörs ambulance station about their need for an ambulance, there was no question that we, as a local dealer, would come to their aid. They really need a strong, fast and safe car. Therefore, we are proud to support the noble cause of saving lives and believe that this car can make the hard work of the Budaörs ambulance service even more successful," Ádám Rédei said.
The equipment requirements of an emergency car are similar to those of an ambulance – it comes with the same life-saving equipment, instruments and medicines to patients in need of urgent care. When alerted to a critically ill patient, the ambulance with its blue distinctive markings is able to help the patient in need as quickly and efficiently as possible in the Budaörs and Törökbálint area. A BMW 530d perfectly meets the requirements of an ambulance: fast, precise and above all reliable, according to a statement by the company.

You can still take management stags and meat animals free of charge.
This is a fly in helicopter Sika Free Range hunt. We will fly into the back country to a basic back country hut with a shower and flush toilet.
I only do 7 hunts a year on this block giving each party a good chance of success.
This option is best suited to 2 hunters wanting a Sika.
Day 5 hunt morning then fly out in the afternoon.
Trophy quality is very good, hunt success rate varies from 60 to 75% each year.
This is a wilderness hunt and a reasonable standard of fitness and expectations of taking a stag is required. I recommend 5 days for this hunt.
All scoring is done in Sci on upgrades.
Under 110 SCI, 175 DS.
My trophy Free Range Sika Stag hunts are 4 days including travel time to and from the hunting block.
Day 1 – On the first morning of your hunt we will travel to the block mid morning.
We will arrive mid day approx. after a 2 hour drive. We will settle into the cottage have lunch then be hunting that afternoon.
On the last day of your hunt we will hunt the morning then head back to town, I will drop you off at the airport or motel.
Airport pick up and drop off and all travel is free of charge, traveling is done at your own risk.
Accommodation: A basic hut (granny flat) with power, hot shower and flush toilet. This is very basic but comfortable.
On my free range hunts you can expect to take a stag from 100 Sci [apx 160 DS] to 110 Sci [apx 175DS] with the occasional over 175DS.
If you are looking for a stag over 110 sci [apx 175 DS] you need to let me know when booking the hunt as we only take 2 to 4 stags this big on this block each year.
I have a 100% success rate on this hunt.
If you take a management stag as well as a trophy stag the cost will be from $400 up for the management stag depending on size. Price will be determined in the field when we see the stag.
Price dose not include local travel, all travel is free of charge. You are welcome to travel with me at your own risk.
No additional trophy fees for bigger stags.
My hunting area is a mixture of native bush, manuka scrub with open clearings in the bush and scrub areas.
Mature sika stags are very smart animals and only venture out into the open when they feel relaxed, so our method of hunting is sitting and glass the open areas for long periods so that the big stags dont know we are in the areas.
We move occasionally to look at other clearings.
I have several shooting spots set up on each clearing to best suit wind direction.
A new shooting spot set up in Dec 2014 on one of Brian's favorite clearing elevated in a tree.
Accommodation is a cabin and hut all with power hot showers etc. This is very basic but comfortable.
This hunt there is a lodge option on the property this is an extra charge. Please ask about this if your interested.
NZD $7250 for the biggest stag we can find.
This is a 3 day hunt.
We are taking some big stags 180+ type stags with the possibility of monsters having taken 190 and 200 inch sika to date.
Only booking a limited number of hunts each season so booking well in advance is necessary.


Gvsto tries to be all things to all people. In the morning, they cater to the office crowd serving Italian coffees, expertly produced pastries (try their red pepper croissant), and a breakfast buffet. Come lunchtime, they roll out a casual business set lunch including pastas, piade farcite (specialty Italian pressed sandwiches), fish and meat dishes. Then there's the aperitif hour (i.e. happy hour) between 5pm-7pm, where, with the purchase of a drink, they serve you with martini glasses filled with squid ink pasta and other appetite whetter's. Now if only they can get people to leave work by 7pm. This is followed by dinner service.
Though positioned as a casual diner, the smart La Dolce Vita interior and hotel-grade service is more than you would expect in a place where one can grab sandwiches to go. The staff are of Ritz-Carlton and Mandarin Oriental pedigree, while the chefs are imports from Italy, much like most of the key ingredients. The food is non-regional. That is to say, the dishes come from all over Italy.
To properly enjoy your Gvsto dining experience, give yourself two hours, and bring a proper appetite. Start with the sesame crusted tuna ($150), a very light, half-rare tuna steak with mixed greens. The tuna is smeared with an olive tapenade and dressed lightly with orange segments and first-pressed olive oil. We tried two pasta courses. The black squid ink pasta with tender rings of squid and lemon rind ($155) was a dish where the texture of fresh pasta was key. The chef obviously knows the true meaning of al dente; there was bite, there was pull.
Now would be a good time to mention just how seriously they take their pastas. All of it made in their new Kennedy Town factory, quality controlled by their head chef Sergio Landi, just like they do in their flagship outlet in Rimini, Italy. How many restaurants can say that?
More evidence of quality: the fresh ricotta-filled ravioli, dressed with fresh tomato, asparagus and herbs ($169), was the simplest of dishes to prepare – where the ingredients better shine or else you get mediocre flavour. The verdict? If you only have half an hour for lunch, do yourself a favour and order this dish.
Like leaving a party when it is still good, we should've left before the fish and meat arrived. The fish, sea bass with roasted vegetables and balsamic reduction ( $190), was curiously topped with a lemon squid ink foam that looked like dark mould. We ate with caution. The fish was flat and the root vegetables boring. Next up, the bocconcini di pollo, golden pieces of breaded chicken, was a dish I've had in Siena, and this was not it, not even close Barely a step up from oven baked chicken nuggets, I would not pay $175 to eat this again.
The meal ended with tea and complimentary Italian petit fours: butter cookies and what can only be described as a rice pudding tart. It pulled all the comfort food strings.
In sum, because they are trying to be everything to everybody, we think there is a bit of an identity crisis going on. But the solid foundations of a good Italian eatery are all there.
2/F, Nexus Bldg, 41 Connaught, Rd, Central, 2147 3768. Mon-Sat 7am-11pm. Meal for two: around $800.

Q: How to export data from some columns from Gridcontrol to Excel file? I have a WPF project that used Gridcontrol. There are 6 columns, I don't know how to export 1st,2nd,3rd column to an excel file? I have searched many documents but they don't helpful.

A: If you are using DevExress GridControl and you need to prevent certain columns from being printed or exported, set the GridColumn.AllowPrinting property to false.

A: Here is an example of how to get info from a DataTable:
var lines = new List<string>();

string[] columnNames = dataTable.Columns.Cast<DataColumn>().
                              Select(column => column.ColumnName).
                              ToArray();

var header = string.Join(",", columnNames);
lines.Add(header);

var valueLines = dataTable.AsEnumerable()
               .Select(row => string.Join(",", row.ItemArray));
lines.AddRange(valueLines);

File.WriteAllLines("excel.csv",lines);

Code taken from : How to export DataTable to Excel
So the basic idea is this: iterate over your data bound collection and get the needed info. When done, add all the created lines to a .csv file.
This may be a solution, or maybe not, I am not aware of your constraints regarding the result file format.

Here's a class I wrote for use with the LM335A temperature sensor. I think the class makes it easy read temperatures without needing to do more than tell the software what pin to use, when to read the temperature, and what units are desired.
I'm new to the Arduino and really enjoy the community of creators and what they have done with their Arduinos. Many thanks to all the folks that discussed the LM335A, especially Jonathan Smith on how to hook it up properly, and convert the temperature. Thanks to David A. Mellis for writing the tutorial "Writing a Library for Arduino".
Here is the sample program. I look forward to any feedback.
// Created by Jonathan Merrill, February 20, 2010.
// Released into the public domain.
Good work Green - I'm at work so have not downloaded and looked at the files - I'll do that when I get home.
Is your "Class" (is this handled same as library?) written for a specific wiring schematic? OR the way the basic sensor is wired?
You use Serial.print() in your example, does it work with lcd.print() also?
Will it work for any temperature sensor with 10mV/ºK?
I'll be looking forward to playing with it some.
Great work. Warms my heart to see those const in there!
I think I found a problem after all the testing I did with conversion to F! I didn't look at it too much, but I think the 9/5 in the routine did not equate to 1.8 for some reason.
I will review the naming convention and see about updating the 'getters' with the update (where can I find more advanced creating classes for Arduino tutorial/template?) Thanks for the feedback! I will update the other classes I am working on.
The class is written for the LM355A sensor. I *finally* discovered Fritzing which allows you to creating a breadboard design. I may *eventually* create the LM335 sensor in it, and include that as part of the zip. I cannot say what other temperature sensors the library will work for, but if several sensors have 10mv/K then I would say yes it should work. Let me know what else it works for and I will add in any extra info and part numbers of the other sensors it can work with. The sensor is current limited with a resistor (around 2k). I do not yet have a trim pot on mine for accuracy.
The class gets the current temperature in the units that the users asks for. As long as the Serial.print() and the LCD.print() functions can handle both handle a float I don't see why it wouldn't work. You might want to format the float to a certain number of digits for string output to an LCD. Please let us know how it works for you. Feel free to send me your tested LCD routine with your information and I will put it in the example folder.
1) it is a good idea to use a for-loop to achieve an integrated reading? For example, I pass a value of 250 into ReadTemp() and it finds the average of 250*X readings taken 1/X ms apart. How quickly then can the Arduino sample? A test of this gave better resolution but I couldn't tell how artificial the noise was.
2 ) I don't quite understand why the pinmode is set if the reading is done through an analog pin. Is it necessary to set the modes on both D&A pins?


It is the last Monday of the month and we like to switch things up a bit with a tall & skinny sketch. If you are not familiar with a tall & skinny sketch read the options below to play along with us. Once again Julee has created this awesome sketch!

Which trainees are best placed to be part of Kenya's training academies?
published on August 8, 2021byAuthor admin Comments Off on Which trainees are best placed to be part of Kenya's training academies?
As Kenya prepares for a presidential election next month, the country's top government official is seeking to boost the countrys fledgling training industry.
In an interview with the BBC's Today programme, Kofi Tshabalala, Kenya's Minister for National Training, says his aim is to increase the country s trainee population from around 4,000 to between 7,000 and 10,000.
"We have around 1,000 of them [trainees] in the country, but we need to expand the training programme," he said.
Mr Tshabalala has been at the helm of the Kenyan National Training Agency since September and is seeking the backing of President Uhuru Kenyatta, who has promised to expand training in his nations education system.
In October, Mr Kenyatt announced a plan to create 500,000 training slots across Kenya and in January he announced that he wanted to increase Kenya s training population by 20 per cent.
Kenya's National Training Council is tasked with implementing the government's new training strategy.
In his interview, Mr Tshalalala also touched on the countryss ongoing conflict with Somalia, where a Somali government military faction is waging a brutal campaign against Kenya and its allies in the region.
The conflict, which has killed at least 10,400 people, has triggered fears that Kenya s military is too weak to defeat the Somali faction.
The Kenyan government, meanwhile, has faced criticism for its failure to recruit or retain more than 1,300 military personnel since it s first military coup in 2012.
Kenyan authorities say they need to recruit more than 200,000 more people in order to prepare for a future war with Somalia.
But many Kenyans say they are worried about the lack of training.
In response to the increasing number of recruits, the Kenyan government has introduced a training programme for youth to prepare them for life after graduation.
"If we have 20,000 people, then we will have about 5,000 youth in the army by 2025," said Mr Tshaabalal.
Kenya s military has already been struggling with a weak training force and is trying to recruit some of the best students.
A recent survey found that the proportion of young men who have completed a basic training course has been cut from 25 per cent in 2014 to 20 per a year.
"The majority of the people who have been trained are going into the army to join the army, not to become teachers or teachers' assistants," Mr Tshebala said.
More than half of Kenyats school leavers, according to the government, have already completed basic training.
"They have been given some basic training, they have been taught about the army and have taken the test, so they are now ready to join in the military," he added.
Kenyatta is currently on a trip to South Africa where he is also expected to unveil his countrys first national training programme.

Scores in red were carried over from the preliminaries. Tunisia refused to play against Israel and lost 3 to 1 by default. Canada-Iceland ended 3-1, but the judges mistakenly wrote down 2-2. This score became official. South Africa was expelled from the FIDÉ three rounds before the end. Their results were not counted in the official standings. Both Iraq and Algeria refused to play against Rhodesia and their scores were set by default. Why on Earth they didn't lose by the same amount I cannot tell.
Nicaragua withdrew after one round in the preliminary. Belgium qualified for final B and on match points they would even have qualified for final A. In the end, they finished 30th out of 73. Almost all information I have comes from , which has pretty much all one would like to know – except for quite a few games.  has two more games. Here are the round-by-round results.
