National Motos: a hard-fought victory
Valérie Moreno2021-06-23T15:26:51+02:00June 23rd, 2021|2021, 24 Heures Motos 2021|
The Superstock winner and 4th overall at the 24 Heures Motos 2021, Honda-mounted National Motos had no major mechanical problems, but the race was exhausting for the entire team. The team manager Stéphane Haddadj looks back on the 24-hour race.
"We had no technical problems, but managing our riders was tough. Stéphane Egéa and Guillaume Antiga did practically the entire race as a twosome. Kevin Trueb's old injury to his right hand flared up again and he was unable to do more than three stints. So we had to guide Stéphane and Guillaume and reorganize our rider management to optimize their recovery time. At times they nearly gave in to fatigue and were filled with self-doubt. I had to be there with them and boost their morale. They had to keep up the pace to stay with the leading pack without putting themselves in danger. It was an exhausting race for me too. I constantly monitored their preparation and ensured they did their physiotherapy sessions, and that they ate and drank despite their extreme tiredness. "
National Motos are the new favourite in the Superstock class but they had already written their name in the annals of the 24 Heures Motos. The privateer team backed by the Paris region Honda dealership of the same name won the race in 2006 ahead of SERT. They are the first team to win the 24 Heures Motos in both the EWC and Superstock classes. The 2021 Superstock win has a different flavour.
"If I had to rate the two wins, this one was really earned. In 2006, the various race incidents put us in the lead. In 2021, Stéphane and Guillaume ran most of the race as a twosome and we battled at the head of the field without crashing. I dedicate this win to all the members of the team, our partners, customers and fans, and to my dad Pipo. It's the result of the past few years of hard work."

The way a natural pearl is formed is different from a freshwater pearl. These are the kind of pearls that are harvested on pearl farms. It is done with the help of freshwater mussels that makes the size of these pearls up to ten times larger than the ones created by saltwater oysters. Let us know more about harvesting of freshwater pearls.
How does production of natural pearls differ from production of freshwater cultured pearls?
As mussels are devoid of any shell bead nucleus, the pearls created using it are pure. Unlike natural pearls, where ten thousand oysters result in the creation of one pearl, here one mussel can produce several pearls in each cycle of production.
Another thing to check is that the time period required for cultivation of freshwater pearl is a lot lesser than that of ocean pearls. This is because it needs less advanced surgical methodologies for complete cultivation of freshwater cultured pearls.
Due to which, these pearls are easier to cultivate and are also less expensive as compared to natural pearls. This is the reason behind the enhanced value of the freshwater pearls in the present jewelry market. Click on the link to get more information about freshwater pearl farming.
On what basis is the quality of freshwater pearls determined?
Once the freshwater pearls are cultivated, their quality is determined by its various different aspects. These are the surface area, shapes, shine, and color. When the entire procedure of cultivation of freshwater pearls is done in the right way, you get superior quality of pure pearls.
How is the freshwater pearl farming performed?
The procedures involved in farming freshwater pearls are carried out properly on a pearl farm. In just a timespan of two to five years of time, the pearl farmer cares and nucleates thousands of oysters in the farm. This helps them to raise and take the form of a pearl. The entire procedure to get a lustrous freshwater pearl is a combination of skill and luck.
The quality of the pearls is evaluated with the help of pearl grading system that takes into considered the luster, color and shape of the pearls.
Is It Time to Go Shopping for a Better Appearance?
How happy are you with your appearance these days?
For some women, their appearance is not what they want it to be. As a result, they can either be unhappy with the results or go about changing things.
In the event you want to do the latter, where might you begin the change?
You can start to work on changing your appearance by going online.
In using the Internet, you have a myriad of tools and resources at your disposal.
Many brands selling products you can use to enhance your appearance are not hard to find online. As a result, they could be a click away from helping you improve your look.
So, are you ready for a change?
One of the first changes you might have in mind would be your hairstyle.
If not happy with how your hair looks and feels, you can think about a few things.
The first would be an assessment of your hairstyle.
Is it time to go with something new? This can mean cutting your hair much shorter than it is now or doing the opposite and letting it grow.
You might also have temptation to color your hair.
So, if you've been a blonde for a long time now, would you consider going with a brunette look? How about switching from a brunette to a full-blown redhead?
No matter the length or color choices you end up with, taking care of your hair from there of course matters.
With that in mind, do you need to get a new curling iron or a blow dryer?
If opting for the latter, take the time to look into a hair dryer by T3 or another such brand. With the right hair dryer, you can get your hair how you want it and keep it that way. If having a bad hair day, give blow drying another chance.
In the event you want to put some curl in what is otherwise straight hair, don't be afraid to get a new curling iron. A little curl can spice up your hair and turn some heads in the process.
No matter what you decide with your hair, get thinking on how you want it to look today and for the immediate future.

Q: Quartz.net always stops after 8 runs Hi I have a scheduled job to run every hours in Quartz.net:
 private static void InitTimers() {
        log.Info("InitTimers");
        try {
            var job = Quartz.JobBuilder.Create<HourlyJob>()
               .WithIdentity("HourlyJob")
               .Build();
            var trigger = Quartz.TriggerBuilder.Create()
                .WithIdentity("HourlyTrigger")
                .StartAt(Quartz.DateBuilder.EvenHourDateAfterNow())
                .WithSchedule(Quartz.SimpleScheduleBuilder.RepeatHourlyForever())
                .Build();
            _scheduler.ScheduleJob(job, trigger);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            log.Error("InitTimers", ex);
        }
    }

and I am calling it from static class ApplicationServer:
var schedulerFactory = new Quartz.Impl.StdSchedulerFactory();
_scheduler = schedulerFactory.GetScheduler();
 _scheduler.Start();
InitTimers();

_scheduler is a static field as well. My server is running on Windows Server 2008 R2 and jobs are always stopping after 8 hours. I've read that it might be because of GC, but in this case I am not really sure what I should do. Any other ideas
Update:
So I went through logs and found out that it always stops at 6 pm. What might be the reason that I should look for?

A: I have nearly the same code for one of mein project and it works, but ich add the job before start scheduler. Try
var schedulerFactory = new Quartz.Impl.StdSchedulerFactory();
_scheduler = schedulerFactory.GetScheduler();
InitTimers();
_scheduler.Start();

Did you get an exception when it stop?

The Rolling Stones said Monday it would return to the stage this year with four concerts in Britain and the United States. The shows will take place on Nov. 25 and 29 at London's O2 Arena, followed by gigs on Dec. 13 and 15 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, just outside of New York. The shows mark the first time in five years that the Stones have performed live, with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood all coming together once more. The band said it was the "crowning glory" of celebrations marking its 50th anniversary of its first gig.
The band promises an all-new, custom-built set design, featuring the tongue and floppy lip logo, that will "reach out into the crowd." A wider tour is not planned, though the Dec. 15 performance will be available on pay per view.

Visiting all of England's central public libraries … and recording what catches my eye.
The list*
Wembley Library
January 13, 2019 ~ librarytouristblog
Orange! That's my first impression of Wembley Library.
The Library is in a very smart civic centre that opened in 2013. The building houses all of Brent Council's services and is next to Wembley Arena and has a café, public toilets and a car park underneath.
The library is on the ground floor of the centre, and is comprised of glass and orange and white shelving. We visited on a January Saturday afternoon and it was packed full of readers and had the bustle of activity.
A whole table in the central area was devoted to travel. I don't know if that is always the case or whether it was because we were there post-Christmas and that is when a large number of people turn their thoughts to their summer holiday.
There were four fixed ipads on a stand so that people could access the "Join the library" pages on the internet and presumably complete it there and then.
The staff were nice, chatty and engaging. So, it does not surprise me to read reports that in 2016 it was the third busiest library in the country after Birmingham and Manchester.
The Curve, Slough
July 23, 2018 ~ librarytouristblog
One word – Lego!
This library was really nice which was an unexpected surprise. We arrived early – about 9:40, on a Saturday and wandered around the ground floor – it took me a while to realise that the rest of the library (on the floors above) was opening later at 10am.
This building is called a cultural hub with a performance space, museum, register office and much more. The Curve is next door to the local shopping centre so it is easy to pop in when you're going to the shops. On the other side of the building is a very attractive church so the building was designed to make the best of the view and has glass on that side. This let in a lot of light and as the building is largely furnished with white it had a heavenly feel. There was even a little reading patio on the church side of the Curve.
The ground floor had a cafe, although not open yet that day, some computer terminals, a help point and some displays of books, but once we got upstairs the 'real' library started.
What really excited me though was the children's library – one of the biggest and best I have seen so far. I presume Lego helped with financial support as they have an office based in Slough and that is why it was Lego themed. There were large Lego models everywhere, Lego character stickers on the windows and a Lego portrait on the wall that looked like a tapestry and was tactile rather than hidden behind glass. There was a craft area with tables and a sink and worktops to make it easier to run craft sessions.
The other feature that really impressed me with this library was the museum pods. Dotted around the building there were at least 7, maybe 10, small square pods that were themed on different topics. You could step inside and read boards about Slough in Victorian times, or go inside another one and find it decked out like a kitchen in the inter-war period. The structures added colour and interest amongst the white and grey calm of the rest of the building.
Lancaster Central Library
June 21, 2018 ~ librarytouristblog
Lancaster Central Library is in the centre of town, off Market Street, in an old building (I haven't been able to find an exact date for when it was built). It has two entrances and we accidentally entered at the side entrance that has "Public Library Juniors" carved above the door but isn't where the children's library is now. The town's museum is also next door.
Inside there is a really nice curved ceiling over the main area, with decorated windows which looks very tasteful.
In an attempt to dress up the building there are colourful silhouettes on the walls that look really good. They look alive and full of movement. There are also quotes painted on the walls and corridors.
The children's library is a corner off the main room and had several children reading there. It is decorated with striking large stand-up Roald Dahl books. Plus, there is, of course, the compulsory Elmer rug.
There's also posters dotted about advertising the code club and lego club. The Friends of Lancaster Libs Twitter feed and website shows that there are bands and events organised in the library regularly. Apparently Lancaster Central Library pioneered the Get it Loud in Libraries where there are music gigs in libraries. The local seed library, which started in 2015, is often based in the library too, which is a fab idea.
Oddly enough the study/meeting pod is rather close to the children's library but I suppose there wasn't anywhere else for it to go. Upstairs there is a more quiet area (and appears to be called the Sanctuary). The library also has the local studies material.
I really love the lampposts outside, that say 'Library' on them. I think they look a bit Dickensian – if you ignore the electricity part!
Sale Waterside
May 8, 2018 ~ librarytouristblog
Sale Waterside is a very modern building which the library shares with the council and is described as a local arts complex. Although the building is great and I am in favour of these community hubs I feel that the library should have been given more space. Hubs feel quite odd at weekends when the council facilities are all abandoned but the libraries are still open. However, further along the building is the local theatre and art gallery and a restaurant and a pub. Waterside stands on the site of the old civic theatre and town hall and has preserved some of the original features.
There was a well stocked library shop in the vast entrance area, but then moving into the library area the ceilings were comparatively low adding to a feeling of "squashedness".
The library had plenty of stock and patrons and included the local studies library and a children's area. It even had a replica of an old shop in a corner.
There were several displays up and I thoroughly enjoyed the women's suffrage one as I am working on a similar display in my library.
I had to take a picture of the penguin in the foyer as I love penguins. Apparently it was part of a summer public art project in 2016 created by Two by Two Hurrah.
Riverside House – Rotherham
December 23, 2017 ~ librarytouristblog
Riverside House reminded me of Rochdale. Both are modern library buildings mixed in with community services in a riverside setting, in a place starting with R, with big curved glass doors and with grey and purple as the décor theme!
The library takes up the ground floor in a U shape. There are swipe gates in the middle for the council staff to access the council offices. The library areas were very nice and modern but not that big. It also includes an exhibition area at one end of the library and some display cases with pottery in at the entrance.
The children's area was great, with a stage area still kitted out from Halloween and a reading hideaway.
Wakefield Library
Wakefield Library is based with a large modern community building known as Wakefield One. I'm all in favour of these community hubs that include the council offices but one problem I have noticed is that they look a bit uninhabited, and therefore uninviting, on the weekends.
Wakefield One was built in 2011. As it is on a hill and you lose the sense of which floor you're on as there are breath-taking views from the side windows. I came in on the ground floor but I felt five storeys up. When you enter the library there is an Anglo-Scandinavian logboat which was so long I couldn't get it all in one photo! It was found in the River Calder when the Stanley Ferry aqueduct was built in 1838.
The modern interiors of the library are very nice and I love the purple signs and dotty green and black furnishings.
White bookcases really brighten the interior up and even prevent the grey carpet tiles being too dour. There were plenty to people in the library, on the computers and the local studies area. The sign showed there is also a café, museum and business lounge on site as well.
Manchester Central Library
July 24, 2017 October 2, 2017 ~ librarytouristblog
I was lucky enough to get a tour of the refurbished Central Library for Manchester after the British and Irish Association of Law Librarians conference in June 2017. A whole group of law librarians were shown around the Grade II listed 1934 building which underwent a major refurbishment in March 2014.
We congregated in the hall that had very impressive stained glass windows while we awaited our tour guide. When he arrived and told us about the refurbishment and pointed out that before the refit only 30% of the building was accessible to the public but now it is 70%. This was partly achieved by moving staff offices to a town hall extension.
We were taken up to the fourth floor which is a big circle. All around there is electric powered mobile shelving (it would be inaccurate to call it rolling stack – even though I want to). A really nice touch is that they have put pictures of well known Mancunians across the stack ends which really dresses up the shelves in what would have otherwise been a very boring vista. Every few metres there is a break in the shelving where there are some tables, chairs and study space – all of which were occupied (this was a Saturday afternoon).
There is an enormous reading room in the centre of the library which was packed with students revising for exams. The reference desk is still a feature in the middle but is no longer staffed. In fact it has a glass floor to let some light into the floor below.
We saw the former Chief Librarian's Office which has now been converted into a meeting room with secret doors. There are other function rooms where they can hold ceremonies. The second floor has a Business and IP Centre run with the British Library to encourage young entrepreneurs. There is a mini lecture theatre where Google have held some talks. The library even has a 3D printer.
There are community dance rooms that can be hired and there was a troupe rehearsing in there while we are looking around. There are restaurant-style circular booths where people can watch footage from the North West Film Archive.
There is a very impressive music library with people playing drums and pianos in amongst the book shelves.
Useful study rooms off the corridors.
There is more book stock and the children's library in a lower area that feels more modern, however it is less lit by artificial light and feels a bit subterranean. There was also a Nick Sharratt exhibition on outside the reading room.
There is a sizeable café and a local museum section plus the archives area which we didn't get into.
An incredibly impressive library and community hub. There are similarities to Liverpool as there is the traditional reading room and modern areas. I don't think I can choose between them.

Yahoo! India rolls out Direct Display Builder, Search Direct coming later this year

Yahoo! India has rolled-out a service called "Direct Display Builder" to its Indian portal Yahoo.co.in, integrating content such as stock prices, weather and movies directly into the search results. This is similar to how search results are currently displayed on its global search engine Yahoo.com, plus some other country-specific versions.
This means, for example, if you enter YHOO (Yahoo's ticker symbol) in the search engine, you will see Yahoo's current stock price along with the day's stock chart, as is the case on Yahoo! UK:
Amit Dayal, Yahoo's VP, engineering, search and marketplaces group said:
"DD Builder currently supports 15 categories, including movies, celebrities, stocks, weather, news, shopping and locals in India. Our idea is to at least double it here, and to 200 in the US soon. You will see a larger set of rich categories to smaller ones."
Furthermore, he added that its Bangalore based research and development facility which currently houses over 2,000 people, would contribute more significantly to Yahoo's global search engine in the coming years. He said:
"We have few areas such as multimedia tools including videos and images and few categories in vertical search, which are entirely happening from the India center. More than 50 per cent of the vertical content search, including search related to shopping content and cricket, happen from India."
That aside, Yahoo! India confirmed that it will be rolling out Search Direct, a feature which was first announced in March 2011 with an intention of providing a Google Instant-esque experience to users by the end of this year. Also, Yahoo.co.in will start the transition to the Bing Algorithm by Q3 this year.


Ohkay, so this is the first post on my blog.
I wish to first discuss what do i post and where do i post it.
Firstly i started a free 100mb website with the sites.google, it even turns up as the first result on google for keyword adwiteeya as on 29-04-2012. However, i am pretty sure that is going to change. I started this website so that i could post articles…wait no..only tutorials related to hacking. However sites.google.com/site/adwiteeyaagrawal had many problems, it was limited in many ways. So i definitely had to move ahead of the free 100mb.


Q. How do I cancel a creative zone or study room booking?
When you book the CZ you receive an email to say your booking will be reviewed. Once it has been approved you receive another email confirming the booking. This email has a cancellation link.

Andrew Manson, a young, enthusiastic doctor takes his first job in a Welsh mining town, and begins to wonder at the persistent cough many of the miners have. When his attempts to prove its cause are thwarted, he moves to London. His new practice does badly. But when a friend shows him how to make a lucrative practice from rich hypochondriacs, it will take a great shock to show him what the truth of being a doctor really is.

Candidate for House of Delegates District 28
Josh on: Environmental Action
We have a lot to be thankful for in our district, but one of our greatest resources, one of the things we take most for granted, is the natural environment we're blessed with in Stafford County and Fredericksburg. It can be a place we go for picnics and playgrounds, or, for the many farmers who populate our district, the means for income and employment. That's why protecting our environment is a charge I take seriously.
This is about more than keeping our grass green. It's about reducing the number of days with extreme heat, so we can keep our infrastructure from buckling. It's about preserving green spaces so that we have a place to bring our children. It's about holding bad actors who continue to pollute our beautiful Virginian environment accountable for their actions. I will work with, and for, the communities of our district so that we can leave behind a Virginia that is greener and greater than it is today.

A defined benefit pension plan includes payments made to an employee at set intervals after retirement.
A defined benefit pension plan is a retirement agreement. This type of agreement involves an employer making a specific up-front commitment to pay an employee a certain amount upon retiring. The payout usually involves a set amount to be paid at regular intervals. In some instances, however, a person may be able to receive a lump sum.
The benefits that an employer agrees to pay with a defined benefit pension plan are supposed to start when a person retires. Those benefits are supposed to continue until the person dies. In the United States, such plans are very common for employees in the public sector, but they are often offered in the private sector as well.
In order for this type of arrangement to work effectively, an employer normally considers a number of personal factors about the employee who is to receive the benefits. Examples include life expectancy, fluctuations of interest rates, and a person's earning history. If these factors are not considered, there is a risk that some employers may not be able to fulfill their obligations. These factors are used a components of a formula that is so complex that it usually requires special software.
Employers must determine how they will fulfill their commitments if they have agreed to a defined benefits pension plan. Companies normally try to fund this type of plan through investments that are made while individuals are still employed. Some plans require that the employees make contributions and others give them the option without obligation. Whether or not an employee contributes, the success of those investments is the responsibility of the employer. If, for some reason, the return on those investments proves inadequate, an employer is not relieved of his obligation to pay.
There is no need for an employee to feel that he must remain with a company for the sake of earnings that he has accrued through his defined benefit pension plan. A person who is vested will always be entitled to the monies that he has already earned. If he decides to leave the company before retiring, the accrued amounts should be held in trust until he reaches retirement age.
One of the benefits of a defined benefit pension plan is that a person's spouse may be able to continue collecting after his death. This part of the agreement usually needs to be specified or the option needs to be chosen before distribution of the funds begin. Even when this is done, the surviving spouse will usually only receive a percentage of the retired employee received while living.

Margie McCabe
A Jersey girl, Margie McCabe learned to play ball on her block in her hometown of Teaneck, and to perform song and dance numbers in school talent shows. She was voted "Class Clown" in high school, and danced for 28 hours straight in a college dance marathon. Margie was tear gassed protesting the Vietnam War, and once shook hands with Salvador Dali. Two weeks after graduating from Emerson College, Margie moved to New Hampshire where she was the only Jew in a 10-mile radius. While there, she performed in community theater (Eliza Doolittle, Aldonza/Dulcinea, Miss Adelaide, and more), dinner theater, and straw-hat theater with Betsy Palmer. Margie even had her own singing telegram business called "Messages by Margie". Meanwhile, she honed her skills as a secretary in engineering, membership organizations, and government. One of her bosses was Stephen McCabe, now her husband of almost 38 years. After moving to Rye, Margie responded to Congregation Emanu-El's ad for a temple and Rabbi's secretary, and because she could read Rabbi Wolk's left-handed chicken scratch, she got the job. After his retirement in 2010, Margie had the pleasure of introducing Rabbi Goldsmith to our temple community. Margie retired in 2012 after 26 years at the temple, including 10 years as a 3rd and 5th grade Religious School teacher. She continues to bring endless energy, joy, and song to our community. Since her retirement, Margie has performed her own cabaret act, led a 20 voice singing group of senior citizens, played on a championship women's softball team, lowered her golf handicap, and has traveled and enjoyed extended stays in California, Barcelona, Nova Scotia and the south of France. Margie and Steve live in Greenwich, and enjoy time spent with their children, Mike and Danny, with Steve's children Steve, Erin, Lauren, with their six grandchildren, and many dear friends.

A person enters the mosque before the iqaamah is called for Fajr prayer. Should he pray Tahiyyat al-Masjid (two rak'ahs to "greet the mosque"), then say the salaams, then pray the sunnah of Fajr, or should he pray the sunnah of Fajr and will that mean that he does not have to pray Tahiyyat al-Masjid?
Praying the two rak'ahs of Fajr will count for itself and for Tahiyyat al-Masjid. This is better, but if he prays Tahiyyat al-Masjid first, then two rak'ahs of Fajr, that is OK.

Q: What's wrong with my prepared SQL statement? I'm new to using PDO and prepared statement so if I'm doing this blatantly wrong please let me know :)
I have the following code:
$stmt = $this->_dbh->prepare( '(SELECT folder_id, "y" AS "has_access", access_type FROM groups_users AS gu LEFT JOIN folders_groups AS fg ON gu.group_id = fg.group_id WHERE user_id = :user_id)
                        UNION
                        (SELECT folder_id, has_access, access_type FROM folders_users WHERE user_id = :user_id AND has_access = :yes)' );
$stmt->bindValue( ':user_id', $this->_user_id, PDO::PARAM_INT );
$stmt->bindValue( ':yes', self::YES, PDO::PARAM_STR );
$stmt->execute();
$folders = $stmt->fetch( PDO::FETCH_ASSOC );

and if I do:
print_r($this->_dbh->errorInfo());
print_r($folders);

$folders is FALSE and my errorInfo() returns:
Array ( [0] => 00000 [1] => [2] => )

Which from my understanding of it means there's no errors. I tried replacing my :user_id and :yes with the values and I don't get errors. The result is empty but my fetch call still returns false (which the documentation says that it failed) when I'm expecting an empty array.
Thanks for any help :)

A: A fetch call which returns false is not an error condition - it just means there's no data to fetch. e.g. your query returned no data. What does $stmt->rowCount() return?

En Garde! Gang of Feral Cats Attack Woman, Dog in France
By Marc Lallanilla 2013-07-26T16:15:45Z

One more reason to love dogs: A gang of feral cats in France attacked a woman and her poodle, forcing both victims to seek medical attention for their injuries.
The cat-attack occurred Sunday (July 21) near the city of Belfort in eastern France. The 31-year-old woman was walking her dog near a wooded area when six felines set upon her, knocking her to the ground, The Independent reports.
The victim was treated for injuries at a nearby hospital where she was also given an injection for rabies. Her poodle was treated at a nearby veterinary clinic. [10 Amazing Facts About Cats]
Josette Galliot, the mother of the victim, said, "The cats jumped on my daughter and managed to knock her over. They bit her on the leg and on her arms. They even pierced an artery."
"My daughter thought it was a living nightmare. She's still traumatized and is bordering on depression," Galliot said.
Veterinarians and local residents are divided over what may have provoked the feline fury. According to some observers, a recent heat wave in the area may have played a part in the unusual mauling.
Veterinary specialist Valerie Dramard believes the cats were protecting their territory from the poodle, and the woman simply got in the way.
"Cats are not new zombies of the apocalypse," Dramard said reassuringly. "They are just very territorial and unfriendly with unknown species."
But cats are known as aggressive hunters, too: Recent research has revealed that cats kill between 1.4 billion and 3.7 billion birds, and between 6.9 billion and 20.7 billion small mammals, each year in the United States.
Some wildlife conservationists have even proposed a ban on cats, or at least prohibitions against free-roaming cats. "We have long accepted the fact that you can't let your dog run free, and yet cat owners seem to take offense at the idea that they would be asked to keep their cats indoors," Stanley Temple, University of Wisconsin-Madison professor emeritus in conservation, told LiveScience.
About 8,000 feral cats are born every day in France, according to The Independent.
"We must get rid of this scourge," Galliot said. "There are too many cats in the neighborhood, many of which are strays. There are also lots of children here. We don't want it to happen again."
For cat lovers, rest assured: Researchers at the University of Oxford have noted that, while numbers are trickier to come by, domestic dogs are also killers of wildlife and disease-spreaders when they're allowed to roam free outdoors. The scientists' review of past studies on the effect of roaming domestic dogs was detailed this year in the journal Biological Conservation.

Q: can't call function on smart contract from front end - ABI runtime object doesn't reflect ABI file The issue I'm having is the functions on the contract object created does not match the ABI
ABI:
  "inputs": [
    {
      "internalType": "address",
      "name": "nftContract",
      "type": "address"
    },
    {
      "internalType": "uint256",
      "name": "itemId",

      "type": "bool"
    }
  ],
  "name": "createPropertySale",
  "outputs": [],
  "stateMutability": "payable",
  "type": "function"

As can see below, the createPropertySale function signature is different to the ABI and as a result I get an error saying too many arguments as in the ABI, the number of params is 4 yet here it is 2. There are other functions which don't match the ABI also

I have deleted the artifacts folder, recompiled and each time the ABI looks ok, but in the browser, the contract object created does not reflect the ABI

We are lawyers who rigorously investigate suspected elder financial abuse and other wrongdoing — pursuing will contests and trust contests to deliver to victims what is rightly theirs. In other situations, people are unjustly accused and we vigorously defend their actions or the validity of an existing will or trust.
The more money and property that is at stake, the greater the likelihood such a case may go all the way to trial — and those that do are often appealed. We are proven trial attorneys with a strong track record of success. Please contact us for a thorough analysis of your situation. The initial consultation will be absolutely free.
Competency. You may have doubts surrounding the mental status of the decedent (then a "testator") when documents such as a will, trust and powers of attorney were created.
Undue influence. Competent or not, the testator may have been coerced or unfairly persuaded to grant considerations, make changes or involve someone in the estate.
Oral promises. Estate litigation is sometimes justified based on a spoken agreement, even though the decedent did not formalize his or her desires in writing.
Mistakes. Wills, trusts and other testamentary documents sometimes contain errors that must be resolved.
Forgery. There have been many cases of someone forging a will or other estate documents, or creating forged amendments for personal gain.
Physical destruction. Litigation is sometimes required to resolve the estate if testamentary documents have been lost or destroyed.
Creditor's claims. You may need legal counsel as a caregiver who provided services on the promise that you would be compensated after a person's death, or you may need to dispute the legitimacy of such claims.
You want to be as certain as you can about the facts before filing a will contest or another such lawsuit, and so do we. Steps we take include gathering medical information going back several years, conducting interviews with all who may have insight into the deceased person's true wishes, and conducting extensive research into case law that may benefit you.
If you have strong suspicions or have yourself been accused of wrongdoing, please call our office in Lafayette at 925-297-6179 or toll free at 888-355-4093 or email us today for a free 30-minute consultation.

Spike Lee Wrap-Up
September 13, 2018 / ImmortalAustin / 1 Comment
Another Five is in the bag! The guys look back at the five films they covered of Spike Lee's canon and wonder why he isn't appreciated as much. They bring up films of his they didn't cover like When the Levees Broke, Inside Man and his Netflix show She's Gotta Have It. Then they finish it up with their rankings and the announcement of their next Five.
NOTE: The gap between BlackkKlansman and the first film of the new Five is 79 years. The gap between Jodie Foster's last film Contact and Charlie Chaplin's The Gold Rush is 72 years. The more you know…
Spike Lee's Five
1) Do the Right Thing
2) Mo' Better Blues
3) Malcolm X
4) 25th Hour
5) BlackkKlansman

Episode #110 — BlackkKlansman
Episode #128 — The Jerk / Moss Side Story / Greek Oregano / Wide Open Road / QI
This was an interesting five. I think one of the reasons Spike may not be as heralded as you think he should be is shown by the time gap between the last 2 films you picked. 16 years between 25th Hour and Klansman. I believe that may the longest gap between films you've picked of the directors you've had so far. In that long time he seemed to mostly make docs and docs don't really get much attention(as you've discussed in the Morris five). His last few non doc features before klansman were crowdsourced films that barely got released theatrically. I haven't seen them so I can't comment on their quality, but it seems pretty clear that a new spike lee film wasn't a big deal for many film fans for quite a while, which may be why he isn't talked about as much. I went to film school in the 90s, and films like Clockers, He Got Game, Son of Sam were highly anticipated. I wonder if the average film student today was looking forward to Chiraq or Da Sweet Blood of Jesus.


Well, here's a pretty easy case of connect-the-dots. We just finished reporting that Joseph Gordon-Levitt's "Premium Rush" had been moved from January 13, 2012 to August 24, 2012 and we figured maybe it was a tactic by Sony to get the film some additional heat after the actor's turn next summer in "The Dark Knight Rises." However, with Variety reporting that JGL is now in talks for a role in Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" they add, "he'll have to sort out several scheduling issues that could prevent him from participating." You see where we're going with this?
With "Django Unchained" scheduled to be shooting right when "Premium Rush" was going to be hitting theaters, there is no way Gordon-Levitt would be able to star in Tarantino's film, while doing press for David Koepp's movie. However, with Sony politely bumping back the film, the scheduling conflict is resolved and everything is in place for the actor to join the movie. But the question now is: what role could it possibly be? Based on the script we read, we're not really sure where he would fit in with the parts that are left, except perhaps as one of the redneck Brittle brothers, but even then, those parts are fairly small. There is a possibility he could play Scott Harmony, the 24 year-old kid whose father buys the slave Broomhilda for him to boost his confidence. Though in the script he's described as being overweight, Tarantino could easily have changed that up. And remember, Michael K. Williams recently said Tarantino had been rewriting a script — including creating a possible new role for him after he lost out on the lead. Either way, it's another solid addition to the film's eclectic cast.
Just to recap: Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, Christoph Waltz, Dennis Christopher, Kurt Russell, Laura Cayouette, Don Johnson, M.C. Gainey and Tom Savini are already set for the movie. "Django Unchained" comes out Christmas Day next year, and believe it or not, with all those names, there is still more casting to come.

Q: Capturing all windows of an Application in C# I am writing an Add in for a Desktop Application. I do not have the access to code the Desktop app but I need to  capture all windows that are related to that from within my Add in. Anything not related to app should not be captured. All windows might not be the new processes. Any idea How can i achieve this?

A: You could try to do the following:

*

*Identify the desktop app's process id and any child processed it may have spawned

*Build a list of all windows that belong to the process id(s) identified previously (try @Konstantin Spirin's proposed solution)

It was Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche who chose the name "Benchen Phuntsok Ling" for this place to indicate the close connection to the Benchen Phuntsok Dargyeling monastery in Kathmandu.
"… this shall be a place for all of you where you can practice the Dharma, for some weeks, some months or any length of time. It has the goal of creating a permanent location for summer courses …"
November 14, 2016, Edward Henning died, 67 years old.
Our precious translator who opened the doors to Tenga Rinpoche's teachings has left us behind with grateful minds. Vivid memories appear effortlessly.
Pictures of him as a young man meeting the 16th Karmapa in Rumtek, published in the "DHARMA KING" , a mighty volume dedicated to the memory of HH the 16th Karmapa, early witnesses of Edward's decisiveness to cross the cultural borders of his British education. By his decision to learn Tibetan and act as an interpreter he became one of these early translators almost miraculously appearing when they are needed most.
On the 31. October 2015 in Allmuthen, a wonderful day, Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche's nicely built relic stupa that had been constructed at Benchen Phuntsok Ling was consecrated by Drubwang Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche. Many people have gathered on this beautiful occasion. On the following Sunday morning Rinpoche continued the weekend course by giving teachings and in the afternoon concluded it by bestowing the Thousand-Armed Chenresig empowerment. The weekend course has been wonderful and all the participants enjoyed it very much.
After a longer period of waiting the building permission for the Stupa in Allmuthen was finally given. The actual construction work started just prior to the summer course 2014. However, due to the construction company's annual holiday break there was a four week building break until mid August 2014.
Simultaneously all the necessary rituals were performed by our resident lamas recently with the support of Khenpo Gawe Nyima and Drubpön Döndrub Tashi when the two mandalas etc. were placed in the Stupa.
During the summer course 2014 some Sangha members carved the so called "Sogshing", the approx. 5 m long center pole, which will be core of the Stupa and will be placed in the center of it. The wood was obtained from the Thuja tree which grew next to the Stupa building site in our garden. It was beautifully ornamented and prepared according to the traditional procedures by our resident lamas.


One of Corey Goode's benevolent messages is that we, the peoples of Earth, need to come together in unity, set aside our differences of perspective and belief, admit we don't know everything about everything, and work together towards full disclosure so we can have an improved lifestyle, all the technology our corporate governmental military elite is hording from us, and the liberation of our peoples and our consciousness. Basically the "peace on Earth" we all hope for but don't really see when we look around. In order to achieve this, the message from the Blue Avians of the Sphere Being Alliance, which Goode has contact with, says we ought to be more loving and forgiving of ourselves and others and be in greater service to others.
Greer's perspective is that if we are ever to have a peaceful place in galactic society, we should not take our Earthly racism into the cosmos, and that "aliens" are not bad because if they were we would have been taken over or dead long ago. I think there's no point in putting our primitive weapons into space because there's always going to be some other society (or timeline) that has had millions of years more than us to develop technology. The negatively polarized group that ensnares our consciousness on this planet also benefits more greatly by keeping us alive and "under control" rather than killing us or letting us know we've been "taken over" several hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Although I was certain that people like Dr. Greer might also think my experience in a parallel timeline had somehow been fabricated by psychotronic technology of our shadow elite government, I feel that the technology for benevolence follows similar principles as the technology for malevolence. Like a hammer, it can be used to build someone a house or to murder them, but it's still a hammer.
I woke up on Thanksgiving Day 2016 feeling like Dr. Greer's perspective about there being "no bad aliens" is like the Native Americans saying there are "no bad white men" when, really, we had stolen their continent leaving pain, death, and a "Trail of Tears" in our wake. Although we should probably all forgive each other and thank everyone for our spiritual evolution, the "Orion group" is to the people of Earth as the "White men" are to the Native Americans, but on a cosmic scale. More love and forgiveness would definitely be good to stir into this whole pot of oppression and suppression, and after reading this whole document, I'm sure you will feel the same way.
I believe that Corey Goode and others are telling the truth because, just like my benevolent parallel timeline experience, the flavor of their experiences, their intent, and messages are benevolent ones having to do with the progression of consciousness, spirituality, ascension, and the liberation of our society from 3D into 4D positive. Even Dr. Greer's perspective is a different facet of the same gem. I do not think the Orion group, the Draco, the Archons, or whatever you want to call them would want us to awaken to the information that people like Corey Goode have to share. The information I came home with from a parallel timeline also seems to be that of benevolent progression of our society and consciousness, which furthers our understanding of our quantum connection to ourselves, our other selves, ourselves in other timelines, and to all that is.
Believe it or not, I had no conscious knowledge of the Draco before writing my book, New Paradigm Planet. In this book part of this "imaginary" world I had is called Drakoni and is home to those who consciously are willing to embody negativity in the world so its people can all have a better realization about their purpose. They must still follow the "Logos of Now" but consciously are willing to show evil in the world in order to make the world a better place. Conversely to balance it out and maintain the harmony of the "Logos of Now," the other half of the world is benevolent, called Oslandia. I didn't name it after the Wizard of Oz, but it sounds similar. The "Logos of Now" was akin to what the RA group describes as "The Law of One" in the RA and the Law of One material (available for free online).


So today I was with my girlfriend and we were in a Luis Vuitton store (It was my first time). How my gf can buy a $500 purse and walk away with a smile, blows me away (talking to a guy who has been using the same old wallet for nearly 10 years).
As I was in the store and viewing the very, very expensive merchandise. I began randomly thinking of BSG lol. You see Luis Vuitton is effectively the low models, high quality strategy and effectively some people come into BSG aspiring to perform a certain strategy. This decision is led by ego, not business sense or practical knowledge. I have met many people who want to be the "Luis Vuitton", and I personally won my first BSG game utilizing this strategy years ago. I have also met people who wanted to be the price leader or the highly differentiated company. All these strategies have their merits, but it only gets sketchy when the Industry isn't right for that particular strategy.
I have met companies who HAVE to do a certain strategy, they are not willing to adapt, and that is what BSG is about, having a baseline strategy, but adapting to the times. If you plan to win BSG, you need to be willing to change to the circumstances, that is a characteristic of a winning BSG strategy. If you keep holding onto a strategy and are unwilling to evolve, you must accept all the faults of that mindset.

A 1099S was issued to mother and daughter. The daughter lived in home for 4 years. How do I treat mother's 1099S?
barb4
The mother helped her daughter buy the home but the mother never lived there. The mother was on the title so that is why 1099S was split between two of them.

How so? Was that "help" a gift?
Was the daughter an equity owner? What has she contributed towards the costs and upkeep of the home?
Still an AllStar

The daughter paid all costs the last two years and in the first two years she paid utilities. The first two years the mother paid the mortgage payment and any upgrades to the townhome such as granite countertops and she paid fix up costs right before it sold.
The mother did expect to be paid back for the upgrades and fix up costs when the townhome sold so not really a gift.
Then with that line of thinking the mother would have to pay taxes on her 50% of ownership. Correct?
You'll need to establish your facts a bit more clearly to determine the appropriate reporting position.
If I understand you correctly, the mother and daughter are both on the title, presumably, as joint tenants;
While you clarified how some of the maintenance costs were paid, there's no mention of how the down payment was funded (and if any portion funded by the mother is to be recovered and how);
It is interesting also that you mentioned that the mother expects the upgrade and fix-up expenses to be repaid that there's no word about the mortgage payments made in the initial two years; and
There's no indication how the proceeds from the sale would be allocated between the mother and daughter.
Case laws would generally determine equitable ownership based on who take up the burdens and benefits of ownership, looking beyond whose names are on the title. The burden of proof is on the taxpayer and this would entail not only documentary evidence (such as loan agreements and quitclaim deeds) but actual facts.
If it is to be argued that the daughter is the sole equity owner, you will need to construe a case based on these factors, which seem to be lacking based on the limited info you have shared, and discern whether there was ever any element of gifts in the equation. There appears never to have been any formal agreement for the repayment of sums made by the mother in terms of the down payment and mortgage. Even if there was, the question is whether those terms were enforceable and ever enforced. Especially with the mother paying for the upgrade and fix-up expenses right before the sale, unless it is contended that what the mother had funded for down payment and mortgage was a gift to start with, it could further reinforce the presumption that these works were carried out at her expense (or fronted by her) to protect her interest and maximize the sales price of the home.
Thank you for your detailed response. I will ask further questions. I do believe the mother funded the down payment with the expectation of being paid back when the property sold. All of her expenses were expected to be paid back from proceeds of sale. There was no agreement signed as far as I know but just understood like most things in a family.
qbteachmt
I recommend you simply do what you see = split this 50/50 for the tax return. Let them know what the tax hit is and remind them (if it applies) why one of them is in a higher tax bracket. Let them work out the issue of "making this fair between us." Stay out of this, otherwise.
"Level Up" is a gaming function, not a real life function.
BobKamman
Who deducted the mortgage interest in the first two years when the mother was paying it? Were the property taxes paid from an escrow account, or directly by one of the owners?
"Substance over form," determined by "facts and circumstances." But I wouldn't want to argue the mother's case for not paying tax on her half of the gain. She could have deeded her interest to the daughter right after the place was bought. She even could have deeded it at some reasonable time before the sale. What this sounds like is a case of mother wanting to make sure she got paid back and knowing how far she could trust her own daughter.

Q: To Limit Minimum n records as Output in Oracle SQL I've a query like below, I've given emp as a table for easy reference.
Original Query:
select s.* from (select distinct emp.name from emp orderby emp.id order by emp.name) s
where rownum<=20;

Problem:
The emp table is very huge contains billions of rows and also contains duplicate records. The above query is running for more than 1 hour eating up all DB Resources. So, to optimize the above query, I modified like below.
Modified Query
select s.* from (select distinct emp.name from emp orderby emp.id where rownum<=20) order by s.name;

Problem in Modified Query:
If suppose the name retrived for the first 20 records is same, then distinct provides only 1 record as output. But I need 20 records minimum in the output . Is there a way to achieve it?
Please note that index creation on emp.name is not allowed in our DB due to various reasons.

A: Does it work better with aggregation and a fetch clause?
select name
from emp
group by name
order by name
fetch first 20 rows only

A: The use of select distinct or group by is not going to speed up the query.  They process the entire result set.
If you don't actually need the absolute first names, you could take a sample and then apply the logic:
select distinct name
from (select e.name
      from emp
      where rownum < 1000000
     ) e
order by name
fetch first 20 rows only;

If you do need exactly the first 20 names alphabetically, then you need an index on name -- or a separate names table with all the distinct names.  I might advise you to remove the limit on the number of rows and put the results into a (temporary?) table -- there is little performance benefit to just fetching the first 20 of them.

Artist Statement: Reconstruction
?Emotion, which is suffering, ceases to be suffering as soon as we form a clear and precise picture of it.? - Spinoza
In the past, figure and landscape were completely separate modes in my paintings. But in my new work, these two modes have begun to merge and interact.
Gathering images from past experiences - my own and others' - this body of work focuses on unclear recollections mired in the feeling of being small and insignificant in a very large world.
While we often think of time as an agent for fading memories from focus, this work is about the integrating processes of memory and how time can help us distinguish fantasy from reality.

I've got to build a cable to connect from the DR4 slave to a 3 pin xlr DMX laser, does anybody know the correct pins please.
DMX (RS485) is a 3 wire connection. XLR pin 1 goes to RJ45 pin 7 & 8.
Orange pin 2 to xlr pin 2 , and brown and brown and white pins 7 and 8 to xlr pin 1. and if only 2 wires are used, the connection to pin1 on the xlr will be redundant and have no effect.
and if I build an xlr3 terminator its 120 ohms across pin 2 and 3.

Portrait of Susanna Bloch – painting by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso in Paris in 1904 by the end of his blue period. The subject, Suzanne Bloch, was a singer known for her interpretations of Wagner and the violinist's sister, Henri Bloch.
Suzanne Bloch
Luminous in the Paris sets, frequented by Picasso in the early 20th century, Susanna Bloch was a Wagnerian singer and violinist sister Henri Bloch. She was introduced to the Spanish artist by the French poet Max Jacob, in 1904, and she sat for a portrait of Picasso in his studio in 13 ruts of Ravignan in Paris between the end of the spring and the early summer of that year. The pen and ink sketch intensified with gouache, and signed and dated by Picasso, preceded the painting; it is now stored in the Neubery Coray collection, in Ascona, Switzerland.
Picasso portrait
The portrait in oils was described by Louis Marques, a teacher of art history at Unicamp, as exemplary of the "blue period to which it fully belongs." It was called the last important work of the blue period, although Palau, i Fabra says that it is "difficult to date and defines the stage of transition from one period to another — which in any case was not a sudden change, but a mildly detailed, although unstable, progress" . In the same vein, Denis Chevalier wrote: "Any attempt … so far, the blue period can only lead to errors too accurately."
The painting, completely filled with a gloomy, sad aura, is presented in monochromatic shades, ranging from blue to blue-green, with the sporadic presence of warmer tones. Nevertheless, it is possible to note that the painting already announces some features of the future transition in the illustrated style of the Spanish painter, foreshadowing cubism. In the words of Camesasca quoted by Marquez: "[…] this portrait is marked by the appearance of reflections on the plastic-color structure of Cezanne's works, within the limits of 'post-impressionism, already absorbed by problems that will cause the art to explode'. "\
The painting belonged to Susanna Bloch and was sold by her heirs after her death. Thannhauser Gallery, Munich sold the painting around 1916 to Sally Falk, Mannheim, but his collection was already scattered in 1919, under the supervision of the Paul Cassirer gallery, Berlin and Lady Picasso without a hat, the blue portrait was acquired by the princess Mechthild Lichnovsky, who kept him in her private collection in London. From the English capital, painting went to Lugano in Switzerland, where it was held in the private collection of the Bieber family. The painting remained on deposit at the National Art Gallery in Washington between 1942 and 1946. The following year it was acquired by the Art Museum of San Paulo (MASP), with financial resources donated by Walter Moreira Salles, the founder of Unibanco.

For more than fifty-five years the air in a comparatively quiet but progressively decaying area of Queens just outside Jamaica, reverberated to the thunder of horse's hooves as they beat around an elliptical course known as the Jamaica Race Track. Then progress in the form of a population-explosion out stripped the facilities of the Jamaica track, and on August 1, 1959 the last race was run at Jamaica. The possibilities of erecting a large housing development on the 170 acre site of the Jamaica track was the vision of Robert Moses, the then Chairman of the Slum Clearance Committee and City Construction Coordinator. The Jamaica Race Track was demolished in 1960 to make way for the complex, which was built for $ 86 million as a middle income cooperative.
Since Rochdale Village was to be the largest single cooperative housing community ever to be undertaken at that time, considerable thought was given to endowing it with an appropriate name. Because it was expected that the development would set a precedent for establishment of future "cooperative villages" around the country, the name most fitting seemed to be that of the little English village of Rochdale which gave birth to the Cooperative movement in 1844. This lead to the Rochdale Principles of Cooperation. Thus did Rochdale Village derive its name.
The architect's concept for Rochdale Village was an attractive community covering 122 city blocks, that would provide the residents with the park-like setting and facilities of suburbia within the limits of the urban Jamaica area.
Rochdale Village in southeast Queens opened in 1963 ( pop. over 25,000), lying within South Jamaica and bounded to the north by Baisley Boulevard and Bedell Street, to the east by Bedell Street, to the south by 137th Avenue, and to the west by Guy R. Brewer Boulevard. When the village first opened in 1963 it was the largest private housing complex in the world (later surpassed by Co-op City). The population was at first heavily Jewish but became mostly black in the early 1970s.
Rochdale Village is composed of 20 buildings, each with 3 sections, 13 floors. In addition, there are two shopping malls with parking lots, 11 cooperator parking lots (3,200 spaces) and a community center. This complex has its own power plant, its own post office, police precinct, 3 schools and is surrounded by other stores on Guy R.Brewer Boulevard.
Rochdale Village library was built to serve the Rochdale Village-Springfield Gardens area . The library was planned for the north side of 137th Avenue and the west side of 173th Street. In 1965, Mayor Robert Wagner approved preliminary plans for the proposed library branch. The nearest libraries are the South Jamaica branch and the Baisley Park branch. The library was dedicated on April 21, 1969 and invited then mayor John Lindsay, Municipal Service Administrator John G. Duba, Borough President Sidney Leviss, and trustees of the Queens library board. The Rochdale Village library is the 55th branch of the Queens system.
In 1985, the Rochdale Village branch opened its new Adult Learning Center to serve adults who wanted to improve their basic reading skills. Now it has been expanded to a full-fledged center, with computer-assisted instruction and a full range of instructional materials both for learners and teachers of Adult Basic Education.

I grew up in Southern California, in the suburbs north of San Diego. I remember being driven home from school, head lazily against the window, reading all the street names on their green signs–calle barcelona, corte papaya, represa, atadero, calle madero–but the one street name that always made me perk up was paseo avellano. It wasn't my street, it wasn't even the street that fed into my street, but it was the one after that. It was the street that reminded me I was almost home.
I started this blog for 'Lydias', for women who love God and honor Him in ambition and godliness in an environment that isn't used to Christians. I saw so many ministries aimed at women who weren't like me, women who were mild and soft, more at home, well, at home, than in a conference room. And I wanted to fill that void but as I began, I realized how much more God had to fill me. I wanted to be a beacon for Him, salt and light to a world that needed Him, and I rushed into it. Yet, after a year of hitting publish, none of my posts were geared towards that. All of them were–and continue to be–the ways that God was working in me, refining me, growing me. I'd tried to help others, and God gently reminded me that there was plenty of work inside of me.
Wrestling with verses I don't understand, crying out to God when comparison gets the best of me, trying to figure out who I am in Him and why He decided that I should be as I am. Praying this verse when I don't have the words, claiming His steadfast love, His new mercies, His great faithfulness. He is my hope and portion.
If you're here, then maybe you're in a similar place. Maybe you can quote the right verses, lead the right prayers, and you're wondering if anybody can see that you're not all you're trying so hard to be. Maybe you see yourself as a list of things that you're not, maybe you think your life is a checklist with a lot of empty boxes. Maybe you feel alone, in a new place or old, maybe you're wishing you had a mission or ministry like so many around you. If that's you, I so empathize…but I can't fix it. Because that's me, and every time I try to put the pieces together on my own, I end up broken, and worse than before. What I can do is point you to Someone who not only knows the ins and outs of your heart, but Who created them. Jesus knows the deepest parts of you–the dreams you don't dare share with anyone, the shame you're too afraid someone else will discover–and He loves you bigger than both of them. He is so so good to us, better than we can hope and better than we deserve, and even better still. I hope these pages remind you of that, remind you of who He is, and how close you are to being home.
