Artboard 1 It Is Time to Finish Our Work
THOMAS CARLYLE, the English essayist and historian, once attended a New Year's Eve party at a home in Northern England. Late in the evening he became bored with the trite, idle talk and quietly slipped out into the dark night and walked to the seashore.
According to the story he was amazed at a sudden change in the atmosphere. Heaviness settled around him. It was dark and dismal, and soon a storm began to rage. The sea was rough and the waves were high, the breakers crashed and the thunder roared.
He stood bewildered, confused, and frightened. The change in weather had come unexpectedly. His thoughts were turned inward. And as the old year merged into the new the soul of that philosopher was caught up in the bigness of it all, and he cried out, "I stand at the center of immensities, at the conflux of eternities."
That is where the remnant church stands today. The climate of our society and the whole international scene has changed. Let us arise and finish the task. Man is plunging uncontrollably into abysmal depths depths of moral chaos, political dilemma, atheistic Christianity, and uncontrolled science. Science has reduced time and space almost to the vanishing point. By radio the world is one seventh of a second wide. Man has circled the earth by jet plane in fewer than 40 hours. He has landed on the moon. He has walked on it. He has ridden a vehicle on it. Man has penetrated outer space. But he has never been so far from heaven.
Humanity has gone into waters far beyond its depth. The psalmist exclaims under a similar situation in his day: "All thy waves and thy billows are gone over me" (Ps. 42:7). Man is afraid of what he knows. These twentieth-century immensities stagger the imagination. We are indeed at the conflux, or crossroad, of eternities. We may well ask ourselves, What is the message in all this immensity for the church?
The prophet Isaiah sensed the terrible condition of his day. Amid it all he was weighed down with a burden for lost souls. Impelled to step out and give a message of hope and salvation, he exclaimed:
For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth (Isa. 62:1).
This is the time for the remnant church to preach as never before. It is the challenge of the century.
The message to every leader, minister, worker, and church member is found in the commission, "Go . . . and teach all nations" (Matt. 28:19). "Go . . . preach" (Mark 16:15). This commission was given to the ministers, leaders, and people. It is the charter of foreign missions, the international charter for the church. With this charter Jesus tears away the wall of partition. He abolishes prejudice and national ism. He causes to cease all territorial lines and artificial distinctions of society. He makes no difference between neighbors and strangers, friends and enemies. Out of our vocabulary will go the words those foreigners.
Christ teaches us to look around, to look across the seas, and see every needy soul as our brother and the world as our field. Plans should be laid now that will bring the greatest evangelistic thrust in the history of the world church.
Someone remarked, "Today theology is in shambles." I read recently in a religious magazine that most churches are hollow religious shells with no power. They are not reaching the people. Members are dying spiritually. People are leaving the popular churches. They say their ministers are watering down the message they have been preaching for years. There is a slump in Christianity. People are tired of sentimental platitudes. They are not getting spiritual direction, so they are leaving their churches in search of truth. Note these facts: In one year 5,000 Baptist ministers resigned from the ministry in frustration. Time magazine reported that 25,000 Catholic priests have left the priesthood in the past eight years. In a certain section of Europe a church of 10,000 members has an attendance on Sunday morning of 35.
What a day for the Adventist preacher! How can we hold our peace? People need to know today as never before that there is a great controversy going on be tween Christ and Satan. They must be told that the world is reaching its end, that the judgment is upon us, that God has for the world the last warning message of Revelation 14. We as Seventh-day Adventist preachers and leaders need not stand bewildered and confused as do leaders in a political convention. We are compelled with a message of urgency. We have our marching orders. We are not just another church, because we stand in the line of historic revelation.
Watchmen of Inter-America
The prophet Isaiah tells us of the watchmen: "I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night" (Isa. 62:6).
Twelve months ago at our Inter- American Division annual meeting we lighted a fire. We launched EVANGELISM '72 to celebrate our Golden Anniversary. We set a goal of 39,600 baptisms, and a super goal of at least 40,000. We decided to test God and the dedication of Inter-America personnel. Some said, "Ridiculous." But the division caught fire. There was searching of hearts and revival. Prayer meetings continued all night. There was door knocking. Every division officer and departmental secretary left his office, went out into the field, got behind the pulpit, and conducted at least one crusade. Union presidents, local presidents, and departmental secretaries caught fire and became involved in public and personal evangelism. College personnel and students divided into fifteen evangelistic teams and held evangelistic campaigns. Young people have not only held Youth for Christ crusades but have spent all night in prayer for souls. Colporteurs have combined personal and public evangelism with their sales.
What were the results? The message became attractive to the people because of the burning hearts of the leaders, A whole village in Guatemala turned to God. Sabbath school classes turned into evangelistic units. Soul winning prospered everywhere as men and women of God allowed the Spirit to work.
Pastor-evangelists have had a new dedication. Consecrated lay men joined the evangelistic thrust, and more than 50 percent of our church members have become involved. In Bay Islands, Honduras, one family financed an evangelistic team from the Georgia-Cumberland Conference.
Baptisms Doubled
The first quarter of 1972 baptisms were doubled over the first quarter of 1971. During the first six months we almost doubled the baptisms of 1971. We reached and passed our six-month goal of 20,000 by 1,563. On Anniversary Baptismal Day we baptized 7,484 115 more than the membership 50 years ago when the division was organized. In the North Haiti Mission on one day in one place 21 ministers before an audience of 10,000 led 1,043 precious souls into a commitment by baptism. On September 13 we received the following cable from the secretary of the Mexican Union: "Mexico reached its goal. We have 6,223 baptized."
After the first quarter the South Mexican Mission put aside its goal of 1,775 for the year and decided that with the latter-rain power being experienced, they would win 1,000 per quarter. They hoped for 3,223 by the end of September and 4,000 by the end of December. At the end of the third quarter they had baptized 3,223. The mission president set the example of evangelism in a new region when he stood in chilly mountain water at more than 6,000 feet elevation in the eastern Sierra Madres in Northeastern Oaxaca and alone baptized 173.
The 19 ministerial workers of the Dominican conference and mission combined pledged that each one would be a centurion during EVANGELISM '72 each would baptize at least 100 people in 1972. At the time of this writing 13 have reached this goal and two are close to 200. The East Caribbean Conference set a goal of 1,700. At the end of July they had baptized 1,524. The president said, "We plan to reach our goal of 1,700 and move up toward our super goal of 3,260 by December 31."
We are seeing the climax of the ages. We are seeing the day of power. In one of Pastor K. S. Wiggins' crusades in Guyana a preacher of another faith accepted the message and was baptized. He was so happy with his new-found faith that he decided to attend the SDA college in Trinidad and prepare to preach the Adventist message. A few months after his arrival at the college he had a burden to share his faith. So taken up was he with the spirit of evangelism that he went to the conference president and told him of his burden. He was given permission to hold meetings, and 66 people were baptized. He went over to a nearby island in another series, and 80 were baptized. How can we hold our peace?
This is only the beginning. Wait until we see total evangelism under latter-rain power! Wait until we see the revival and reformation that Ellen White saw with unity of the brethren every color, every nationality, in a brotherhood experience. She saw them in love, making things right, giving up their sins. She saw the meeting of groups pleading for Pentecostal power. She saw leaders, ministers, and church members moving into line. She saw them with Bibles under their arms going from house to house opening the Scriptures to the people.
Do you know what else she saw? She saw closed doors open, miracles performed, "souls that were scattered all through the religious bodies answered to the call, and the precious were hurried out of the doomed churches" (Early Writings, p. 279). She saw thousands accept the message of salvation in one day.
Wait until we as leaders cease to be spectators in real evangelism activities and engage in practice and participation. Wait until presidents, treasurers, departmental secretaries, light the fire of evangelism.
Wait until we begin to scatter our truth-filled literature like leaves of autumn.
Wait until the church members, those sleeping giants, are awakened from their spiritual slumber. Wait until we all get out of our spiritual hammocks of materialism and ease and give the message in our way.
Wait until we break out of the strait jacket we are in.
Wait until that other angel descends to earth to unite his voice with the third angel's to give power and force to this judgment-hour message.
Wait until this great third angel's message swells into the loud cry, when influential men will forsake Babylon and take their stand with God's people.
Wait until the world church is lightened with His glory!
What an Hour!
What a dramatic experience awaits us. What an hour to be living. What a glorious day for the church. What a day to be a leader in God's church. What an hour of glory, of wonder, and of power lies before us! God's call in this hour of immensities, at this cross roads of eternities, is to receive the promised fire of the Holy Spirit.
Every leader, every pastor, every worker, must realize that we are in total war against the devil. Total war calls for total evangelism. It is time to light the fire of total evangelism round the world. Have you heard about the curious piles of wood seen by tourists in Africa? The guide explains:
"These piles of wood, ready for campfire, are built by chimpanzees. As they sit up in the trees they see the tourists and others from time to time come by, gather wood and build campfires. When they leave, the chimps come down from the trees and do what they saw. They gather wood and sticks, building their little piles of wood, perfect, ready. But there is no fire. They cannot put fire to their wood."
This church around the world has built her piles of wood too long. Committees, congresses, councils, rallies, conventions, retreats, schools, hospitals but where is the fire? The fire we are to light is a call for total involvement in evangelism. Let us engage in heart preparation and plead with God for the outpouring of His Holy Spirit for a finished work. Let us all join hands for the greatest evangelistic and soul-winning thrust in the history of our church. It is time to finish the work and go home.
New Approaches to an Old Concept
THE SANITARIUM idea is definitely not outdated, although the term may be. This month's health section focuses on some of the current attempts being made by Adventist hospitals, medical groups, and individual practitioners in applying to modern medical practice the instruction the Lord has given to us concerning the sanitarium work. . .

How to Save Time in the Ministry (Part 1)
A MINISTER once polled his congregation through a questionnaire to discover how much time they felt he should be spending each week on various activities: sermon preparation, administration, counseling, committee and board meetings, church and prayer meetings, youth activities, pastoral visitation, shut-in visitation, and community activities. . .
Six Steps to a Successful Visitation Program
A SIMPLE and workable plan for visitation for Seventh-day Adventist pastors and evangelists is a must. Needless hours are often wasted prior to public evangelistic meetings in organizing the names that are hopefully interests, not to mention the loss of needed contact during the development of the interest. Also, the local pastors often labor under many self-styled types of visitation programs that are often of little help to the next pastor. In turn, the new pastor spends much time and labor setting up what seems to be a better organization. . .

Listen to the Man!
The congregation faced a serious financial dilemma. The members, old and young, knew that something had to be done to meet the emergency. They knew they needed a workable plan that the larger part of the congregation would accept and work to implement. All looked to the pastor for leadership. . .
What Is Good Music?
MANY times parents are led to commit them selves for or against something, and then find out that there are strong arguments against the position that they have taken. We frequently face this problem in connection with radio and TV programs or certain musical selections. Because few things in this life do not have some good in them, the categorization of, for example, a musical number into a "good" or a "wicked" number may be treacherous because of various aspects involved. . .
Answering Questions Concerning Radiocarbon Dating
ARGUMENTS against the historical authenticity of the book of Genesis appear with increasing frequency. Because radiocarbon dating is used in many of these arguments, those who are endeavoring to proclaim the everlasting gospel depicted in Revelation 14: 6-12 should understand this dating technique. . .
Drawing Lessons From Sacred History
THERE are two chapters in the Bible of which the Lord's messenger declares, "I urge that these chapters be read at least once every week." --Testimonies to Ministers, p. 98. Notice that Mrs. White does not suggest that they be read, but urges it. And she is not content to say that they should be read once a week, but at least once every week. . .
A Conditioning Center- "The Sanitarium Idea"?
OUR sanitariums are to be an instrumentality for reaching the people, an agency for showing them the evil of disregarding the laws of life and health, and for teaching them how to preserve the body in the best condition. Sanitariums . . . are to be centers from which a work of healing, restoring, and educating shall be carried on." --Counsels on Health, p. 207.
Have You Remembered?
RECENTLY a question was put to me that has caused me to do considerable thinking, studying, and also some heart searching. In fact, it has caused me more than a little concern, so I would like to share it with you. . .
Man's Works and the Latter Rain
PREOCCUPATION with the glory and miracle-working power of the latter rain prevents its fall and unfits us to stand through the fearful, subsequent time of trouble. Effectual prayer for God's Spirit must accompany a determination to discover and remedy the cause for His delay. This requires a clear conception of what Cod intends to accomplish, and how. "It is the darkness of misapprehension of God that is enshrouding the world," says Christ's messenger, and adds, "The last rays of merciful light, the last message of mercy to be given to the world, is a revelation of His character of love." 1 Thus, not power but character, the glory of which God desires to display, should occupy our attention.

What are the bad effects of volcanic eruption?
November 30, 2022 by joe biddens
Volcanic eruptions can cause earthquakes, fast floods, mud slides, and rock falls. Lava can travel very far and burn, bury, or damage anything in its path, including people, houses, and trees. The large amount of dust and ash can cause roofs to fall, makes it hard to breathe, and is normally very smelly.
Also, what are the dangers of a volcanic eruption?
List of Volcanic Hazards
Pyroclastic Density Currents (pyroclastic flows and surges)
Lahars.
Structural Collapse: Debris flow-Avalanches.
Dome Collapse and the formation of pyroclastic flows and surges.
Lava flows.
Tephra fall and ballistic projectiles.
Volcanic gas.
Tsunamis.
What are the beneficial and harmful effects of a volcanic eruption?
That's a good question. I guess the main good effect that volcanoes have on the environment is to provide nutrients to the surrounding soil. Volcanic ash often contains minerals that are beneficial to plants, and if it is very fine ash it is able to break down quickly and get mixed into the soil.
What are the effects of volcanoes on humans?
If the ashfall is really heavy it can make it impossible to breathe. Lava flows are almost always too slow to run over people, but they can certainly run over houses, roads, and any other structures. Pyroclastic flows are mixtures of hot gas and ash, and they travel very quickly down the slopes of volcanoes.
How do you prevent volcanic eruptions?
If a Volcano Erupts in Your Area. Evacuate only as recommended by authorities to stay clear of lava, mud flows, and flying rocks and debris. Before you leave the house, change into long-sleeved shirts and long pants and use goggles or eyeglasses, not contacts. Wear an emergency mask or hold a damp cloth over your face.
Which is the only continent on earth without an active volcano?
Active volcanoes are rare in Australia because there are no plate boundaries on this continent. However, there are two active volcanoes located 4000 kilometres south west of Perth on the Australian territories, Heard Island and the nearby McDonald Islands.
What is the effect of a volcano?
They can cause rain, thunder and lightning. Volcanoes can also have long-term effects on the climate, making the world cooler. Fast-moving lava can kill people and falling ash can make it hard for them to breathe. They can also die from famine, fires and earthquakes which can be related to volcanoes.
What is a safe distance away from a volcano?
Typically you are more than a 1 km away from volcanic vents (with effusive or small to moderate explosive activity), but more than 5-10 km away from volcanoes producing moderate to strong explosive activity and you are outside valleys where pyroclastic flows could be channeled.
How does a volcanic eruption affect the environment?
When volcanoes erupt, they emit a mixture of gases and particles into the air. Some of them, such as ash and sulphur dioxide, have a cooling effect, because they (or the substances they cause) reflect sunlight away from the earth. Others, such as CO2, cause warming by adding to the the greenhouse effect.
How do earthquakes cause volcanic eruptions?
Some, but not all, earthquakes are related to volcanoes. For example, most earthquakes are along the edges of tectonic plates. Most earthquakes directly beneath a volcano are caused by the movement of magma. The magma exerts pressure on the rocks until it cracks the rock.
How do you survive a volcanic eruption?
Part 3 Protecting Yourself After the Eruption
Remain indoors until you're told it's safe to come out. Keep the radio on and stay inside until you learn the danger has passed and you're free to go outside.
Stay away from areas with heavy ash fall.
Clear ash from your home and property.
Get medical care if necessary.
How does a volcanic eruption affect the economy?
How volcanoes affect the economy. Many times people think that volcanic eruptions affect the economy through the destruction inflicted upon the landscape during an eruption: lahars and pyroclastic flows destroying bridges and homes, ash ruining crops and water, lava flows overunning communities.
What are the global effects of a volcanic eruption?
The gases and dust particles thrown into the atmosphere during volcanic eruptions have influences on climate. Most of the particles spewed from volcanoes cool the planet by shading incoming solar radiation. The cooling effect can last for months to years depending on the characteristics of the eruption.
How does a volcanic eruption affect living things?
Plants are destroyed over a wide area, during an eruption . The good thing is that volcanic soil is very rich, so once everything cools off, plants can make a big comeback! Livestock and other mammals have been killed by lava flows, pyroclastic flows, tephra falls, atmospheric effects, gases, and tsunami .
How is a volcanic eruption caused?
Magma rises through cracks or weaknesses in the Earth's crust. When this pressure is released, eg as a result of plate movement, magma explodes to the surface causing a volcanic eruption. The lava from the eruption cools to form new crust. Over time, after several eruptions, the rock builds up and a volcano forms.
What are the main causes of a volcano?
Volcanoes happen when magma rises to the surface of the earth, which causes bubbles of gas to appear in it. This gas can cause pressure to build up in the mountain, and it eventually explodes. When the magma bursts out of the earth, it is called lava.
How do volcanoes change the earth's landforms?
Magma is the hot molten rock that builds in pressure and explodes from the volcano as lava. The way a volcano erupts and the materials that make up the magma and lava of a particular volcano have a lot to do with the formation of the volcanic landforms, such as craters, calderas, lava domes and lava plateaus.
How often does a volcano erupt in the world?
Some volcanoes erupt very often (and some like Kilauea almost never stop). On the other hand, some volcanoes are inactive for very long periods of time between eruptions. For example Mt. St. Helens erupted in the late 1800's and then again in 1980.
Which state has the most volcanoes?
"There are about 169 volcanoes in the United States that scientists consider active. Most of these are located in Alaska, where eruptions occur virtually every year. Others are located throughout the west and in Hawaii (see our Volcano Activity Map for their locations).
What is a volcano and what does it do?
A volcano is a mountain that opens downward to a pool of molten rock below the surface of the earth. When pressure builds up, eruptions occur. In an eruption, gases and rock shoot up through the opening and spill over or fill the air with lava fragments.
Why would you want to live near a volcano?
People live close to volcanoes because Geothermal energy can be harnessed by using the steam from underground which has been heated by the Earth's magma. This steam is used to drive turbines in geothermal power stations to produce electricity for domestic and industrial use.
What is in a volcanic eruption?
A volcanic eruption occurs when hot materials are thrown out of a volcano. Eruptions can come from side branches or from the top of the volcano. Some eruptions are terrible explosions that throw out huge amounts of rock and volcanic ash and kill many people. Some are quiet outflows of hot lava.
How many active volcanoes are there in the world today?
There are about 1,500 potentially active volcanoes worldwide, aside from the continuous belt of volcanoes on the ocean floor. About 500 of these have erupted in historical time. Many of these are located along the Pacific Rim in what is known as the 'Ring of Fire.'
Where are most of the world's volcanoes located?
The Ring of Fire is a ring of volcanoes around the Pacific Ocean that result from subduction of oceanic plates beneath lighter continental plates. Most of the Earth's volcanoes are located around the Pacific Ring of Fire because that the location of most of the Earth's subduction zones.

Clásico Chilango ist die Bezeichnung für das Stadtderby zwischen Cruz Azul und dem Club Universidad Nacional, die beide zu den drei populärsten Vereinen von Mexiko-Stadt und zu den vier populärsten Vereinen von Mexiko zählen. Während UNAM in der Popularitätsskala der Hauptstädter (hinter dem Club América) auf Rang zwei vor Cruz Azul rangieren dürfte, hat Cruz Azul offensichtlich außerhalb der Hauptstadt mehr Fans als die Pumas und genießt besonders im Südosten des Landes eine hohe Popularität.

Der 1927 von Arbeitern einer Zementfabrik im Städtchen Jasso gegründete Club Deportivo Social y Cultural Cruz Azul ist traditionell vor allem in der Arbeiterklasse und den ärmeren Schichten verankert, während der 1954 aus einer der größten Universitäten Lateinamerikas hervorgegangene Club Universidad Nacional vor allem im Bildungsbürgertum verwurzelt ist.

Alle Ligabegegnungen
Die folgende Tabelle listet alle Ligaspiele, in denen die beiden Mannschaften aufeinander trafen, in chronologischer Reihenfolge auf. Der Sieger ist immer in Fettdruck ausgewiesen.

1 Diese Spiele wurden in Santiago de Querétaro ausgetragen.
2 Wegen des vorzeitigen Saisonabbruchs aufgrund der COVID-19-Pandemie fand 2019/20 nur eine Begegnung statt.
3 Der Vollständigkeit halber sei darauf hingewiesen, dass es im Sonderturnier México 70 zu keiner Begegnung zwischen Cruz Azul und UNAM kam.

Rush Copley Earns Another "A" for Patient Safety in Spring Score Release
Hospital part of distinct group of "Straight A" Leapfrog hospitals
Aurora, IL – Since 2012, Rush Copley has been awarded an "A" Hospital Safety ScoreSM by The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit run by employers and other large purchasers of health benefits. Of the 798 hospitals that earned As this spring, Rush Copley is one of only 153 nationwide that has earned an A grade in each update for the last three years, becoming part of a distinct group of "Straight A" Leapfrog hospitals. Rush Copley is also the only hospital in the Fox Valley area to achieve all As.
For the first time, the Hospital Safety Score includes five measures of patient-reported experiences like nurse communication, doctor communication and communication about discharge, as well as two of the most common infections, C.diff and MRSA. The Hospital Safety Score was compiled under the guidance of the nation's leading experts on patient safety and is designed to give the public information they can use to protect themselves and their families.
"Rush Copley is pleased to be recognized again with this honor by Leapfrog," said Barry C. Finn, president and CEO of Rush-Copley. "Rush-Copley's team continues to raise the bar for patient safety and patient experience – from process improvements to empowering front line staff – to provide the highest level of care for our community."
Rush-Copley, a quality leader among Chicagoland area hospitals, meets or exceeds national benchmarks for many quality and safety measures. The medical center holds more accreditations and disease-specific certifications than any other area hospital and has earned disease-specific certifications from the Joint Commission in maternal/fetal medicine and newborn care; stroke care, joint replacement for hip and knee, heart failure and spine surgery.
To see Rush-Copley's scores as they compare nationally and locally, visit the Hospital Safety Score website at www.hospitalsafetyscore.org, which also provides information on how the public can protect themselves and loved ones during a hospital stay. People can also check their local hospital's score on the free mobile app, available at www.hospitalsafetyscore.org.

Designory received a Graphis Poster Silver award for Nissan's JUKE Color Studio in the automotive category. As a part of this honor, one full page in the 2016 Graphis Design Annual is dedicated to the poster. "I have to tell you, seeing our work nestled among the best and brightest Graphis poster entries made me catch my breath," said Lynne Grigg, Chief Creative Officer, Designory.
This poster began with a simple mission: Create showroom materials designed to pique consumer interest in a new lineup of colorful accessories for the quirky Nissan JUKE. The mood had to be about play, imagination and personalization. The Designory team landed on the idea of a lenticular. It was a clever way to show off multiple colored accessories in a single poster.
"In the digital world we live in, it's also fun to be reminded of the unexpected impact of print." Carol Fukunaga, Creative Director, Designory.
Graphis presents and promotes the work of exceptional talent through its hardcover annuals and online archive covering Advertising, Photography, Design, Typography, Posters and New Talent. Awarded work is showcased in both.

Genetic platelet disorder resulting in blood clotting disorder and hemorrhage. Life-threatening condition under stress (e.g., surgery, anesthesia).
Athrombocytopenic Purpura; Congenital Hemorrhagic Thrombocytic Dystrophy; Glanzmann Syndrome; Glanzmann-Nägeli Syndrome; Glycoprotein IIb (GPIIb/III) Complex Deficiency; Hemorrhagic Thrombasthenia; Hereditary Thrombasthenia; Hereditary Thrombocytopenic Purpura; Nägeli Syndrome II; Platelet Fibrinogen Receptor Deficiency; Platelet Glycoprotein IIb/III Deficiency; Révol Syndrome; Thrombasthenia; Thrombocytasthenia; Thrombocytopathic Purpura.
Eduard Glanzmann (1887-1959) was a Swiss pediatrician, Otto Nägeli (1871-1938) was a Swiss hematologist.
Rare. Approximately 200 cases reported.
Autosomal recessive disorder in one of two genes of chromosome 17, either GPIIb (or integrin αIIb) or GPIIIa (or integrin αIIbβ3), where GP indicates glycoprotein. Genetic mutations split equally between GPIIb and GPIIIa. Some cases are suspected to be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait.
In platelets, GPIIb and GPIIIa are joined together as a dimer (referred to as GPIIb/IIIa). Once activated, GPIIb/IIIa binds to one end of fibrinogen (and/or von Willebrand factor), while another platelet, with its own GPIIb/IIIa, can bind to the other extremity of the fibrinogen, thus leading to a large aggregation of bound platelets (so-called white blood clot). In patients with Glanzmann thrombasthenia, GPIIb/IIIa is defective and platelets cannot aggregate; no blood clot is formed and bleeding does not stop.
Normal to increased platelet count, giant platelets, absent platelet surface thrombosthenin, prolonged bleeding time, poor clot retraction, and absent platelet aggregation. Adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet aggregation does not occur.
Bleeding diathesis, petechiae, anemia. Two forms described: type I (severely affected patients, especially girls at time of menarche) and type II (mild form).
Check CBC. Ensure platelet availability. Check for platelet antibodies.
Avoid central neuraxial anesthetics. Anticipate need for platelet transfusion. Platelet transfusions must be restricted to serious bleeding because antibodies against platelets can develop (and would compromise the vital prognosis in case of further bleeding). Postoperative bleeding may be severe. Perioperative treatment with recombinant FVIIa supplements has proven to be safe and efficient.
Avoid use of antiplatelet drugs such as acetylsalicylic acid.
Bernard-Soulier Syndrome: Autosomal recessive bleeding disorder with low platelet count and bleeding out of proportion to the reduced platelet count.
Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome: X-linked recessive disorder with altered platelets, bleeding disorder, and susceptibility to infections as a consequence of Band T-cell immunodeficiencies.

iTracer is an industrial grade product with advanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm. It can deliver the maximum available power for charging batteries and charge a lower nominal voltage battery from a higher nominal voltage array.
• Energy statistics recording, it is convenient for users to view charging and discharging energy of each day, month, year and total value.
People who put performance above everything else.
Since 1926 Crown Battery has responded to the 'power' challenges and individual needs of industry leaders with the best available products and services in the field of heavy-duty commercial deep cycle batteries.
More performance, More Productivity with Less Maintenance. Nobody builds them like Crown, because no one else invests in the heaviest, thickest plates in the industry. Ours are over 10% thicker than our competitors.
Combine that with our proprietary PROeye and our low maintenance container - features that make battery maintenance predictable and efficient - and you've got a battery that's going to last longer and perform like no other.
Crown out-performs the competition in head to head tests over and over again.
It must be a matter of perspective. But we aren't prone to exaggeration, the way some of our competitors are.
If you claim to have batteries that out-perform all others, an independent laboratory should confirm the findings. That's the way we do it at Crown. Since 1926, that's all we've done. And to us, it really isn't a matter of claiming to be first in the industrial marketplace. But being the best. Some manufacturers are comfortable making exaggerated claims.
We're comfortable making battery history… one customer at a time.
The heaviest, thickest plates in the industry. Thicker plates, heavier lead connections, and the most active lead material per ampere hour of rated capacity. And heavy means more lead, more active material. Which means more power. Longer life. Who would you put your money on? A lightweight battery? Or the heavyweight of the world. Crown.
Storage Batteries should be stored in a dry and cool area in an upright position.Store batteries on a solid surface that can safely accomodate their weight. Batteries can be safely stocked two or three layers high by using a secure stacking surface placed between each layer. When stacking batteries in layers, take care to secure battery terminals against short-circuit and to block and brace batteries that prevents any movement of the battery group. Please note that batteries need periodic stock rotation and service charging to ensure peak performance.

In Eating Heaven, I tried to say something about the café and the role its tables play in our cities and our lives. Then I find the collected poems of Irish poet Michael O'Siadhail, and discover he says it with more beauty and fewer words. I tip my hat.

turns his smokey eyes on the waitress.
and we, citizens all, break bread.
Michael O'Siadhail, Collected Poems, Bloodaxe, 2013, 183.
My dad came for dinner tonight. He's not fussy, but he's proud — a meat-and-potatoes man. No pastas or risottos for him, and certainly no ancient grain salads. Dad likes it simple: a good roast dinner with crispy spuds and gravy, or a slow-cooked lamb stew.
His taste for lamb is no surprise. Raised on a sheep farm in the Mallee, dad remembers a lamb butchered every fortnight and shared with the neighbours. On the alternate week the neighbours reciprocated. It was a good arrangement for a place with no refrigeration. He tells me of the large cast iron pot that simmered constantly on the wood stove. What began as a hearty lamb soup would last for days, reducing to a thick stew in the bottom of the pot.
So, tonight it was dad's lamb stew.
The only complication was, my beloved and I are off fat and carbs for a bit. This meant a few provisos: the lamb had to be lean; the oil for browning had to be coconut oil; the usual roux (flour and butter) for thickening was off limits; and the potatoes (essential to a good Mallee pot) had to be added whole so they could be fished out by the purists. Regardless, it turned out ok. Better than ok, in fact. It was good. Even dad said so.
For a bouquet garni: with a short length of kitchen string, tie together 2 stems of parsley, 2 sprigs of thyme, 1 sprig of rosemary and 2 bay leaves.
In a large, heavy-based cooking pot (preferably cast iron), heat the oil over high heat.
Add handfuls of the diced lamb, browning the pieces so as to seal in the juices. Don't do too many pieces at once. You don't want the meat to stew, but to brown quickly. You'll need to do several batches. Once it's all browned, set the meat aside.
In the same pot with whatever oil remains, and still on high heat, brown the onions all over and then set aside.
Still on high, add the diced bacon to the pot and brown the bacon until its crispy and ready to pop. Set aside.
Add the carrots, celery, capsicum and garlic to the pot and saute over high heat for a few minutes.
Add the tomatoes and tomato paste, worcestershire, salt and pepper, and continue cooking for another five minutes.
Add the stock and bring it all to a slow boil then lower the heat and maintain at a simmer.
Add the lamb, onions and potatoes.
Add the bouquet garni to the pot with the string draped over the side.
Cover and keep the stew on a low simmer for approximately 1½ hours.
Remove the pot from the heat, discard the bouquet, add the bacon, and let the stew rest for 10 minutes.
Serve the stew in generous bowls along with some crusty bread. Though no bread for the purists. And no potatoes either. But the rest is good.

Q: IBM Worklight - Clicking a button to navigate to another HTML page doesn't work (multiple page application) I'm trying to follow this guide. I reach a problem when i try to change the HTML file when the user clicks a button.
This is my script:

And this is my core HTML file (auto generated by Worklight):

            <input type="image" name="btnPromo" src="images/btnHotPromo.png" width="75%"/>

            <input type="image" name="btnMall" src="images/btnMall.png" width="75%"/>

            <input type="image" name="btnOutlet" src="images/btnOutlet.png" width="75%"/>

            <input type="image" name="btnAbout" src="images/btnAbout.png" width="75%"/>

My goal is to change the #pagePort to MainPage.html every time the user clicks on #btnPromo.

A: The answer is i forgot to add the $(function(){}); at the start of the code, so the code should be :
$(function(){
        $("#btnPromo").click(function(){
            $("#pagePort").load("pages/MainPage.html", function(){
                alert("loaded!");
            });
        });
});

And everything will be OK :D

How do I produce a video of a song in MP3 format with lyrics?
Singing is perhaps the most efficient strategy to actually learn a foreign language.
If you have friends (girlfriend in my case!) of a different culture, it's also wonderful to exchange songs you love with lyrics included so they can follow them.
I don't want just to use the "subtitles" feature of YouTube, I want to make a beautiful video like the one from Brassens above.
There are a LOT of such songs already on YouTube, you can easily found them by typing "name of the song lyrics" (English) or "nom chanson paroles" (French) or "cancion letra" (Spanish). If so many people can do it, I can too but I don't know where to begin!

Community-led growth, with Joel Primack
Joel Primack, Advisor of Charla, Co-Founder of Revenue Era, and Host of the Community-Led Growth Show shares his perspective on how businesses can use communities to fuel growth. We talk about:
examples of different communities
managing communities
the impending "community correction"
measuring the impact of community
Connect with Joel on LinkedIn and Twitter.
Please listen, subscribe, and leave a rating and review!
John Tyreman: Hi, gang. Welcome to Episode 43 of The Digital Marketing Troop, where we go in the trenches with marketing leaders and practitioners to help you learn more about digital marketing. I'm your host, John Tyreman. And I am joined today by Joel Primack, advisor to Charla, Co-Founder of Revenue Era and host of the Community-Led Growth Show podcast. And we are here to talk about how communities can be a valuable marketing asset. Joel, first, I have to say you're a good follow on Twitter. I like your consistency with the Good Morning Marketing tweets. Do you do those daily? Can you share a little background on that?
Joel Primack: Yeah, I mean, I think that now, it's dropped off a little bit from daily. I'd probably say it's three to five days out of the week that I actually hit it. I think that part of it's just like giving yourself a little bit of grace with it. Like you can do something consistently, but it's okay, if you like, forget about it on a day or like, you don't have something important to say or like that's worth saying, so you don't say something. Don't put out something that's not like an ad is kind of my like, general rule of thumb. If I don't think it's helpful, or like something impactful to someone, I just am not gonna post that day.
John Tyreman: Is Twitter your go to platform? Or is there another social platform that you use the most?
Joel Primack: Ooh, I probably say it's a toss up between Twitter and LinkedIn. So I think that they're just different and like, great for different things. Like LinkedIn has helped me so much in my career. And then Twitter's just so much fun. Like I get to connect with people in different ways. We have interesting conversations just about a wide variety of topics where I feel like LinkedIn, if you're posting on there, you typically stay within like three to five consistent topics that you talk about, and kind of own per se. Where on Twitter, I feel like I can share a little bit more of like, all of my… like I have friends who are in SaaS. We can talk about SaaS, but equally, we're both into stocks, too. So we can talk about stocks and like investments and things like that. And like, that's just awesome. Things I don't really get on LinkedIn. But there's a huge purpose and value to LinkedIn that I love as well. So those two are where I mostly live.
John Tyreman: That's where I mostly live, too, is on Twitter and LinkedIn. I made a conscious effort, probably like three or four years ago now, to cut out Facebook. I call it intellectual junk. And I liked the professional nature of LinkedIn, and then finding that community of marketers on Twitter has been really, really beneficial to me at least. So let's talk community. Um, you host the Community-Led Growth Show podcast. Can you share for our listeners what you mean by community-led growth? What sort of topics do you talk about on your show?
Joel Primack: Yeah. So I generally talk about community led growth, as using community as kind of the leading catalyst for growth for an organization. If you're a SaaS company, for example, you're listening to your members of your community regarding like product, in terms of new features, how to improve it, new integrations, things of that nature. If then, if you're in sales and customer success/account management, you're using and listening to community to help you achieve your goals. Whether it's retention – is your community, a place that needs to be on that onboarding list, when you sign a new customer? Because that's where they get 10x the value of just being a user of your product. For marketing, I mean, I think that one's typically more around like content, what's top of mind for your audience, and whether it's built for your general ICP, ideal customer profile, or specifically for your customers. I mean, there's just so many ways to have community. And that's just kind of those kind of two use cases. I'm not even really getting into developer communities, and other more niche ones. But yeah, so that's an example I think of how a typical B2B SaaS company would get value and use community as a lever for growth across their organization. Some examples and topics that we talk about are communities that are owned by companies, communities that are actual communities that other companies then sponsor, we talk about developer communities, and then we also talk about companies who build community through sponsoring a third party community, such as Pavilion, formerly Revenue Collective, Red Genius, Women in Sales Club, Sales Assembly, etc. The list goes on and on and on.
John Tyreman: What I like about this is it's essentially maintaining a focus group, if you will, of people who fit within your ideal customer profile, or who are customers, and really listening to that community. And so I guess, Joel, let me ask you… what goes into managing a community? What are some of the examples of day to day activities?
Joel Primack: Yeah, I think it depends where you are in your community. I call it a journey or a life cycle, really, because you obviously start, but even before you start, there's planning and preparation. So I would say it depends where you are. But some ones I would say, across the entire lifecycle, are always planning. You're always going to be planning, whether it's a roadmap, whether it's a launch, whether it's new partners, whether you're rolling out a new feature to the community, you're always planning, you're always kind of launching. So it's very exciting. And then beyond that, I mean, you're typically talking about different ways for engagement. Really, that's the heart of the community – is engagement across your members, whether it's through events, it's through a newsletter, it's through Slack group, a Discord channel, the list goes on and on again. But those are at least two things. And then I guess the last thing is really alignment on goals across your organization. No matter what type of community or if you own the community and other people are sponsoring, it is always going to need to be an alignment around goals, to ensure that it actually connects to the higher business outcomes that you're trying to achieve. That's what really ties community to being a huge lever for growth when they're directly connected to those outcomes.
John Tyreman: So what are some common business goals that a company would say, hey, community relates to this business goal? Can you elaborate on that?
Joel Primack: Yeah, I mean, I think that the three kind of most typical ones that I often see are: connecting community members to product usage and/or feature usage, especially when a new feature is launched. For example, I know of one company that actually tracks their feature requests, ties it into customer data around what segment are they in, and potential upsell, cross sell possibilities as well. So then they can see what segment of their business is requesting this feature. Is this something that they feel is mandatory, for them to now be successful on your platform, versus something that could be rolled out as a beta, but eventually turned into an upsell opportunity? So that's one way of product usage. For example, the other two most common ones I see are either new logos… so ARR, or NRR, net revenue retention. Those two things are both very important in terms of just helping your customers find a place and find more or less their people per se, who already use your product. And they want to learn all the different ways that people use the product, how they've overcome some challenges, potentially best practices for rolling it out across their company, how to align internally and internal enablement, things of that nature. And then the last one, I would say, is just really, essentially tying it back to like, support/satisfaction. I know that there are a handful of companies that have built their community to really support ticket deflection from support into their community forum. Some are so active that actually, people from the company don't actually respond. Other members of their community will respond. So that's a wonderful thing to see. And then if they are needing to do responses, they oftentimes have a max amount of time before someone will hop in and reply, because they want every question or topic to have an answer, or at least a reply to start that engaging conversation, whether it's with the company and or with other members as well.
John Tyreman: I like how community could have an impact on increasing revenue, possible upsell, cross sell, the feedback loop between product and new features. They could also help by increasing your market share by helping new customers find their people and then eventually finding your product and then impacting profitability where you can extend customer lifetime value through a community by deflecting the ticket support to these community forums. I'm reminded of Trailblazer in Salesforce where Qualtrics community, I spent some time working in market research. So those are some really good examples, Joel, thank you.
Joel Primack: Sorry, I'm adding on to something. So I know one company, at least, where they actually acquired a community/media company. And part of actually what they've done now with it, is they actually use it as the lever to expand their total addressable market or TAM. Because they know when they talk about this hypothetical type of person, or persona, that on their journey, they're eventually going to need to talk about technology to support them, as they become that person and as their company evolves to be more of a modern company in no matter what space they're in. So that's another great use. I think of community – when you talk about community-led growth, they're literally expanding their TAM. That is, to me, I mean, one of the biggest things I've ever seen. Not every company, of course, is going to be able to actually do that with their community. But in terms of a kind of outlier. I think it's very impactful though, for business.
John Tyreman: Joel, you mentioned to me the other day, this concept of community correction, that will likely happen throughout 2022. Can you explain that for our listeners?
Joel Primack: Yeah. So it's something that has actually come up twice now, in two recent episodes on my podcast, one with Zoe Hartsfield from Spekit. The other is Joe Huber over at Sprout Social, both phenomenal people. And they both say that as a community trend, they think that companies are going to realize that they either launched too fast, they didn't identify the right things to roll out for their community, and things of that nature, or they just really didn't even listen to their audience, no matter what type of community that they're trying to build. And so I kind of dubbed this phrase community correction. Because I look at it similar to a market correction. Stocks go up when there is something going on in the market, and the valuations soar, it's a little bit crazy, they pop and then they come back down to earth. I think that some companies, community strategies, or I would probably argue, honestly, lack of strategy, which has led them to this kind of quick start, without actually doing the proper, I feel, research and things of that nature led them to this point, and then they're going to correct by either closing that community, huddling up internally, discussing their learning, rebooting something, whether it's 2.0, the same thing, whether it's addressed pivot, things that nature, I think it's just inevitable. If communities are becoming so hot, we're gonna see it. We see it with companies pivoting, when they go from seed to series A, when they're raising funds. We see it when you're marketing – you have a new marketing campaign. So I think it's just inevitable, people are gonna have to pivot. And I think the correct phrase is really around a correction because they're correcting a wrong, more or less. I don't know if they would really look at it that way. That's something that they'll have to deal with on their own of how they personally feel about it. But I think it really is the correction with hopefully some good learnings for them for the future as well.
John Tyreman: So and you believe that this is a byproduct of not listening to your community, or maybe perhaps not identifying the right community to build around?
Joel Primack: Yeah, I mean, I think that one of – how do I say this? The best way to grow a community is when you, like your pulse is… I'll call it at best, half a step behind what your members actually want. At most, you want to be two steps ahead, I would say, of what they want. That's how well you know that, if that makes sense. And if you're not at that kind of like range of you know your members or your ideal members of the community that you're about to build and launch that well, you have more work to do – is generally how I feel because you have to understand their pains in their professional lives that is driving them to your community, the value that they hope to then gain from it to help them hit their goals, which ultimately, then kind of are your goals as the owner of a community. Because if… more or less a community is a way to help people, not necessarily help your business. You just have to design it the correct way and align on the goals of your members to then help you hit your goals that roll up to your business. So I really do think that a lot of this is people are launching either too fast, or they won't be launching the right thing, because they didn't listen, they didn't speak with their audience, and they just assumed, and we all know what happens when you assume.
John Tyreman: Yes, we do. And it seems like there's a lack of, you say listening, empathy really, and understanding not only the job that your ideal community member needs to do, but also the personal drive – what motivates them personally, what emotions drive them to make those decisions. It sounds like the community building, there's a big element of it that's really an exercise in psychology, I would say.
Joel Primack: I would definitely agree. I mean, I think that the biggest part is those relationships. There's trust involved, there's respect, there are guidelines, there are rules. There's, call it like this, like community etiquette, per se. So with all those things, it really is the psychology of: how do you create a space that people feel comfortable in. And I think that as part of comfortable, there's equally an element of being vulnerable, because people are saying what they're struggling with. And that being vulnerable is on a varying scale for people, of course, some people may be better at expressing that than others. And other times, it's just people sharing their own voice. Some people are super smart, but they're just super quiet and maybe a little intimidated about posting publicly, no matter how public, per se, it really is, it's still public to an extent. Other people are going to be able to read it and say that this came from so and so. So I think that there are many characteristics and traits that really tie into psychology, when you talk about building a community. That's something I've never thought about. I don't know too many people who have. But I'm sure that along the way many people have thought about trust, respect, empathy, all sorts of like those characteristics, but never really thought about it through a true psychology point of view. I like that a lot. Thank you, John
John Tyreman:
Sure, yeah. I'm happy to help. I come from a market research background. So I'm also in the middle of reading Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss – great book. But yeah, people need that psychological safety to really feel comfortable speaking about a topic about some… maybe it's a challenge that they've had or a failure that they've had recently that, you know, and on the surface level, they may feel ashamed of talking about it. But if you have this community where people are sharing those same challenges, those same failures, sharing how they overcame those failures, I could see that being a successful breeding ground for a larger and larger community. Joel, I want to ask you, you know, if you can measure it, you can manage it. Right? So with executives, you like to look at community management as an investment. How do you measure the performance of a community?
Joel Primack: Yeah, I mean, the way that I would honestly do it is tying it back to your goals that we talked about earlier, whether it's new logos/upsell or cross sell opportunities, product for customer satisfaction/ticket support/deflection. In those cases, I mean, they're all pretty straightforward in how you measure that. If it's product usage, you're likely using something I would imagine like Pendo or Mixpanel, something of that nature, and tying those new features or customer usage generally, towards customer support members of your community who are customers, connecting that to product segment and like market segment revenue that you gained from them, etc., to help kind of identify some of those things. Talk about new logos, versus cross sell/upsell. So, I mean, those are pretty straightforward things within your CRM. As long as you're able to connect, who's a member, and who's a customer. As long as you get that connection right, then you're pretty much golden on that one. And then the last one, if you're talking about satisfaction, those will just come through NPS. But then you also may spot a qualitative one of someone posting on Twitter or LinkedIn, as we were talking about at the top of the episode, about how much value they get from being a member of that community, whether it's incentivized by a leaderboard, and they get rewards for it, or they just did it on a one off thing, because that's how much it means to them. Both of those are great ways that you can see value. And I think, personally, I'm a big fan of that last one. Because I think what is often talked about, and like kind of missed, is communities are meant to be personal. They're meant for people to connect with people to connect with people. But if there's no way to really show that impact, at the high level, I think it's a little bit of a missed opportunity. Because, while of course, you have to hit business goals, you can also show a few examples. I'm not saying every example, of course, because that would just be wild. But just a few of hey, here's a screenshot of how challenge… overcame it. And our community was the forum or the space where they did so. Or here are the top five reasons that this user loves our community and they shared on LinkedIn. And here's the performance of the post. Things of that nature, I think are just really helpful ways to make it human and connect on those levels that are more empathy, and trust and like inspiring, not just on this checks boxes, and this works for our business and we're hitting goals. Because you need all those things. But you also need to say, are we truly helping our members? And like I said, you'll see that through strong NPS scores, and do these kind of spotted in the wild moments.
John Tyreman: Like that, "spotted in the wild moments." Yeah, the qualitative feedback is always good to hear. And it's not something that doesn't necessarily show up on some attribution report. But to your point, there is a need for some sort of analytical setup to help you identify who's a member who's not a member. And I love the NPS, the CSAT is two examples of how you can measure that success. I'd imagine customer lifetime value would be another financial metric that you could use. Joel, let me ask you, where do you think the community management space is headed in the next few years?
Joel Primack: Okay, I'm going to steal my three buckets that I usually put my treads that I get from guests. So my probably big ones are, there is not just going to be the rise of a community person. It's really a rise of community teams. So with that, you're going to have community specific roles, such as community operations, community content people. Platform, I know one company that has a platform team, for their community, larger team. I mean, there's going to be learning and development tied to community, whether it's directly around your specific product, or if it's a community of practice, meaning a community for people in that space, who just want to learn and get better and it's open to all, then you're talking about broader learnings and education for them. So I think that that's going to be a huge rise. I'll put a caveat to that of there needs to be an amount of standardization, really, and alignment on what a title actually equates to in responsibilities, and therefore pay. Because that's something that's very interesting that we're seeing right now, and that numerous guests recently have shared with me is something that they've kind of… it's a big struggle right now, overall. I'll just leave it on that. We're not going to get too far down that one. Beyond that, I think it'll be really interesting to see the unique ways that people really form those relationships with their members and be creative with their engagement strategies. And then the last one is always going to be, I mean ROI. We've spent so much of this conversation talking about ROI, connecting it to goals, things of that nature, I think it's only going to improve, once you start being able to connect. I mean, I think that a dream scenario, you're probably going to be able to connect a community platform or multiple community tools into something like Clarity, for example, where it helps you manage your pipeline for sales, marketing, rev ops/sales ops perspective. Imagine being able to put in your community tools and letting that data add a next level, to that other data that you're collecting across your entire revenue org. But community can kind of influence many things and add delight to other areas. So I really think that technology is going to be a huge accelerator in the community space, whether it's for goals, new ways to allow for connections, etc. I just think it's a huge untapped area really, and I say untapped in a way that's being respectful of our community tools. We're just super early in it. And I don't even think we're really scratching the surface at this point.
John Tyreman: Well, it seems like the community management community could benefit from getting together and talking about their pay scales and the need for standardization and solving some of those challenges in a safe space. Right?
Joel Primack: I mean, I think that that could happen. I think that part of it, though, is also I mean, it just ties back to there are different types of communities. So companies are going to call a community to get a different thing. And then you also have the difference of like, call it a community manager, common title. It may mean something at one company, that means something different. And because of those responsibilities, the salary and equity are going to be different depending on if they're offered. As well as the years of experience coming into those roles is going to be a factor, of course, things of that nature. But I think that the other piece really that isn't so talked about, really is that community is just so new for recruiters to be talking about and hiring for that they don't really even know what it means yet. They don't know the necessary like characteristics that are core for someone to be successful, let alone when you start talking about these more specialized roles of community operations or platform management, or content for the community, things of that nature. I really think that it's more of a holistic conversation. I would even throw in another level of complexity to this – could be where community sits in an organization. I know communities owned by some companies in marketing. I know one where it's owned by product. I know where it's owned by support/success. So I think that there are just so many factors. And also, I'd throw in as a caveat to all of this is, are you calling evangelism of your product as part of the title, but communities are a responsibility of it, too. So I think that there are just so many nuances and caveats, really, to this whole conversation. That is because it's just booming so fast, that we haven't really had time to plan and call it what it really should be. And label things correctly. And therefore connect correct titles to correct responsibilities to correct pay.
John Tyreman: Well, your point's well taken, the communities mean different things to different businesses, every single business and the market they serve, are unique. That combination is unique. So each of those communities would potentially be unique. So I see exactly where you're coming from. And I can see how that might make it complicated in that industry that's growing so fast. So, Joel, this has been a very interesting conversation. It's a topic that I don't know much about but it's very interesting to me, especially as a user of Twitter and LinkedIn, and being a part of a few different communities. Well, Joel, I know that we're coming up on our time now and I just want to give folks a chance to connect with you and learn more. If people listening to this podcast want to connect with you, where can they find you?
Joel Primack: Yeah, so I'm super active on LinkedIn. It's just my name: Joel Primack. And then on Twitter, I'm 99.99% sure that my handle is @jprimack25. And there should be a nice little lion emoji next my name. So you can find me on either one of those, I believe on Twitter my DMS are open. So reach out, and always happy to connect and chat with you further.
John Tyreman: Excellent. Thank you, Joel.
Joel Primack: Thank you so much, John.

Want to Know Exactly How the Government Is Spending Your Taxes?
Check out this new database.
By Sarah Rense
For the past three years, former Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer has been busy creating an online database of government tax spending. You can do that when you're bored and have $10 million to spend. The database, called USAFacts.org went live today, and there's a lot to dig through—though in its infancy, it's a slow-moving website.
For example, you can follow 2014 tax revenue to destinations such as veteran support, civil rights, space, and loads of other categories. You can look up how many employees there were on the government payroll—24 million—and the government's total revenue—over $5.2 trillion that year. There are balance sheets on government spending and data tracking immigrant populations, defense spending, and arrests made per prime.
What Tax Day Is Like When You\'re a Freelancer
As Ballmer told The New York Times, "You've got to look at federal, state and local together. Because I'm a citizen, I don't care whether I give my money to A, B or C. I just want to know how it lands, how it impacts what's going on." The database, compiled by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and funded by Ballmer, is non-partisan, and it is based solely off of government data. It doesn't uncover hidden information, it just presents it in a digestible format.
One interesting gap in the data, as Ballmer told the Times, is how many firearms are owned in the United States. The NRA has successfully made collecting those numbers impossible to tally. But other information is open, should you want to access it.

I have heard you have to watch out for lots of eels whenever you swim in Indian waters. Does anyone know if they are of the dangerous type, or is it just that there are a lot of eels, in general? Or does it only apply to certain parts of the country?
I don't think there are any more eels in Indian waters than anywhere else. You should educate yourself on the lacation where you wish to swim. Every place is different, and the natives should be able to tell you what you need to know.
I believe there are eels everywhere, however, there are usually one sort or another that frequent certain areas. It's always good to know before going in. I agree - checking with the natives about any possible dangers of the local waters is a good idea.
Most eels live in coral areas and hide. When snorkeling you can normally see them inside the coral sticking their heads out. I have come across them any times. I have taken some wonderful pictures of eels. I have even caught a few eels fishing. When this one happens I don't try to get back my fish hook. Normally my BF will do this one for me. We don't want to cut the nylon and leave the hook in their mouth. I personally don't find them dangerous and have never been attacked by one yet.
I had never heard about that either. Usually, when there's something to be wary of in the water, there's usually signs. At least in my experience, countries which have things to be wary of in the water have signs posted up. And even if you can't speak the language, it's usually in picture form. One place I remember was Australia - even though the signs were in English they had big diagrams of crocodiles and jellyfish and warnings about swimming.
I'd be more worried about jelly fish than I would worry about eels. If your just swimming around or going snorkeling you shouldn't have an issue. Now on the other hand if you want to do some scuba diving then you might need to keep your eyes open for a few eels lurking in what looks like small caves or in the coral.


what is the difference between mule-app.properties and mule-deploy.properties?
mule-app.properties on the other hand is used for constant value properties of your application.
Hi, I am just starting a project with Mule4 and not sure of the best practice in the 4 Runtime regarding these files. Are they still used?
There is no more Mule-app.properties and mule-deploy.properties in Mule 4. These both the properties are replaced by mule-artifact.json and properties/yaml file in Mule 4.

If you are passionate about Golf and are looking for a challenging course, look no further than Etretat, right on the cliffs' edge. The environment is simply stunning. Located in North West France, just 2 hours from Paris, Etretat is a nice and quiet village on the white cliffs. The town makes it a perfect venue for a working session followed by a round of golf. The course is especially pleasant in spring and summer as you get to enjoy a fantastic game of golf, right above the sea… And the club house is great too, with a diversity of quality food and drinks.
We like to organise these golfing days in Etretat, especially for smaller groups. Participants should have experience in golfing, but we can also recruit trainers, including professionals, if some of your guests are beginners. Experienced golfers will particularly enjoy the 10th hole, with a drive plunging seaward from the cliffs before sweeping back up to an elevated and restyled green. The course has been designed by architects Chantepie et Fruchet, and the challenge is really to master wind exposition.
There are many nice hotels in and around Etretat. Most of them have less than 20 rooms so it makes it a golfing day out for smaller groups. And for those who do not like golf, there many other things to do in the area, such as bike riding, sailing, and even flying a jet fighter along the coast of Etretat.
Tematis is an incentive agency based in France. Contact us if you to know more about what we can do for your event.
