Who's In Control Of Your Life?
Who's in control of my life?
Who's in control of your life? If not you, then who? Does control of your life belong to you? The previous questions, hopefully, caused you to question ownership of your life. Most likely you realize that even though it sometimes doesn't seem like it, YOU are in control of your life.
Who was in control of their lives?
If you still say to yourself that you aren't in control of your life, then you have given the control to others. Why would you give control to others? Perhaps you didn't give it away, but instead, it was taken from you. Or, maybe you were afraid of the responsibility you must assume in order to have control. It's possible you were just perplexed over what to do with the power.
I know I haven't come close to listing all of the reasons why a person might give-up control of her/his life. Sometimes, a person is just overwhelmed and allows someone else to take control. Another interesting way in which we can lose control of our lives is by giving too much of our time to others. If that happens, we end up with no time for our own lives. And, consider how many give-up control of their own life by following the dream of another. I was once told by a fellow teacher, who had been teaching for twenty years, that he didn't like teaching and only became a teacher because his parents wanted him to.
I'm in control of this person!
Perhaps, you are thinking about other lives while doing some creative thinking regarding their control. Maybe you've come up with some examples where you're confident the people in them don't have a choice regarding who controls their lives. For example, who controls a prisoner's life. Well, a prisoner is controlled by the penal system. But, what part of the prisoner is controlled? Are the prisoner's thoughts, choices, decisions, etc. controlled by the penal system? Generally, no! Excluding a few exceptions, prisoners have control over their lives – they just don't have as much freedom as most who aren't prisoners.
Really! So, I'm in control of my life?
Our society seems to put those who give their all on a pedestal. Especially celebrated are the people who give their all without any regard for the impact it has on themselves. Consider how many respect the person who does without sleep, exercise and food, – the basic needs we all have in order to thrive – just to accomplish some temporary goal.
Imagine this car is your life. Who's driving?
The reasons we are not in control of our own lives are endless. I have had many reasons that I've used as justifications for not being in control, but usually, they were only excuses AND not reasons. In fact, most could be considered lies.
If you imagine your life as a car, then who's driving your car? Isn't it time for you to get in the driver's seat and take control? When you're driving then you can decide where you're going. Why let someone or something else decide, when it's your life?
Who is in control of your life?

BUSINESS NEWS: How to Prepare for and Ace the Interview
By The Cornell Daily Sun | November 3, 2013
By SAMANTHA WILHELM
Students attend information sessions, prepare their resumes and iron their button-down shirts. But when they are finally seated at an interview table, some students say their palms sweat in response to recruiters' questions.
By familiarizing oneself with the types of questions interviewers will ask, students can maximize their chances of obtaining a dream internship, former interns and a Cornell Career Services administrator say.
There are broad subject areas that every employer looks to cover. These include knowledge of the industry, interest in the specific company and behavioral questions, according to Rebecca Sparrow, executive director of Cornell Career Services.
"They may ask, 'Why are you applying to us instead of some of our competitors?' You might think, 'I can't reveal where else I am applying,' but they're interested to know that you are applying to some of their competitors," Sparrow said. "If you're only applying to one employer, that's going to make them question your interest in the field."
The first round of questions are straightforward and include terms an applicant should know, but final round questions are more complicated, according to Anderson Sumarli '14. Sumarli spent his last summer doing asset management for JPMorgan in Hong Kong and conducting equity research for a securities company in Indonesia.
"'Would you invest more towards the Twitter IPO or towards the Dell LBO?' This question was announced to me the morning that Twitter actually announced their IPO," he said. "It goes to show how on top of the markets you need to be."
Equally important as technical questions are behavioral questions, according to Andrea Weidman '15, who spent last summer interning with the Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
"If you want to get involved with investment banking or sales and trading, you're going to spend a lot of hours with the people you're working with, and personality is a huge part of that," Weidman said. "You need to portray yourself as someone that they want to work with."
Preparing for these behavioral and technical questions is just the first step. Another major part of the interview process is the networking that takes place before recruiters arrive to campus, according to Kartik Das '14, who spent a summer doing investment banking in the Financial Institutions Group at UBS.
"Once firms come to campus, 400 people will apply for four spots. How do you make sure you make that first round cut?" Das said. "They should know your name before they come to the information session; they should know your name when they're going through resumes."
Weidman suggested that, in preparing for an interview, it is helpful to establish "a bucket of stories" of significant experiences to pull from.
"Don't think, 'For this question, I have this answer,' but think 'for this type of question, I have these stories that I can relate to and talk about,'" she said.
The first 30 seconds — the response to the "tell me about yourself" question — can make or break the interview, according to Das.
"Most people make the mistake of taking their resume and going through line by line. Never do that," he said. "Start off with who you are, where you're from and why you're interested, but you should always end with why you are sitting there interviewing for that firm and why you think you'd be great for the position."
Students should be confident and proud of their accomplishments and demonstrate that in their responses, Sparrow said.
"One [question] that rattles students regularly is, 'You only have a 3.7 GPA. Tell me why I should hire you anyway.' Sometimes students get caught in that trap and start explaining why their GPA isn't any better than a 3.7," she said. "What the employer really wants you to do is to defend yourself. They will ask the same question to the person in front of you that has a 4.1."
Sumarli added that many people forget that what happens at the end of the interview is just as important as everything in the beginning and middle.
"[The end of an interview] is a really great opportunity for you to ask questions and get to know more about the company," he said. "It's your chance to get that insider point of view."
From preparing holistic responses to researching potential employers, it may seem as though students are left with an overwhelming task, Sparrow said. However, students should keep in mind that, ultimately, the recruiter wants to see the applicant succeed.
"Employers are investing a lot in coming to campus. They want to go back with a lot of candidates," she said. "They want you to be successful."

Sierra Leone started with the implementation of the Ecowas Mobile Roaming deliberations ??
By Alertify Last updated May 26, 2020 1,004
Sierra Leone has begun deliberations towards the implementation of the Ecowas Mobile Roaming treaty, an official said on Monday.The treaty, first agreed upon in 2007 and approved in 2017, initially targeted 2018 as deadline for implementation by members of the 15-member economic bloc.
Sierra Leone roaming
Information Minister Mohamed Rahman Swaray said Sierra Leone is one of the member countries that are yet to domesticate the treaty, noting that the issue was one of key subjects under review at a recently concluded retreat by telecommunications stakeholders in the country.
"This is not an option. This is something that is in force right now, so we have to implement it," Mr Swaray said in a radio interview. The ECOWAS free mobile phone roaming protocol received political
approval at a meeting of ICT ministers in the Cape Verdean capital, Praie in 2017. Officials said at the time the project was part of the bloc's efforts to establish a single digital market within the region.
Tcell launches roaming services on planes
ECOWAS, a group of countries in West African with the goal of economic integration, is thought to have one of the highest mobile phone roaming fees in the world. Details of the conclusion of the Freetown stakeholders meeting is expected to be out later this week.
And according to Minister Swaray, the report entails the next move to be taken by the government, which would include wider consultations with the relevant players in the mobile sector.
There are currently 15 member countries in the Economic Community of West African States. The founding members of ECOWAS were: Benin, Côte d'Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania (left 2002), Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo, and Burkina Faso (which joined as Upper Volta). Cape Verde joined in 1977.

The Critical Power Function is Dependent on the Duration of the Predictive Exercise Tests Chosen
Bishop, David, Jenkins, David G and Howard, A (1998) The Critical Power Function is Dependent on the Duration of the Predictive Exercise Tests Chosen. International Journal of Sports Medicine, 19 (2). pp. 125-129. ISSN 0172-4622 (print) 1439-3964 (online)
Official URL: https://www.thieme-connect.com/DOI/DOI?10.1055/s-2...
The linear relationship between work accomplished (Wlim) and time to exhaustion (tlim) can be described by the equation: Wlim = a + CP · tlim. Critical power (CP) is the slope of this line and is thought to represent a maximum rate of ATP synthesis without exhaustion, presumably an inherent characteristic of the aerobic energy system. The present investigation determined whether the choice of predictive tests would elicit significant differences in the estimated CP. Ten female physical education students completed, in random order and on consecutive days, five all-out predictive tests at preselected constant-power outputs. Predictive tests were performed on an electrically-braked cycle ergometer and power loadings were individually chosen so as to induce fatigue within approximately 1 -10 mins. CP was derived by fitting the linear Wlim - tlim regression and calculated three ways: 1) using the first, third and fifth Wlim - tlim coordinates (l135, 2) using coordinates from the three highest power outputs (l123; mean tlim = 68 -193 s) and 3) using coordinates from the lowest power outputs (l345; mean tlim = 193 - 485 s). Repeated measures ANOVA revealed that CPI123 (201.0 ± 37.9 W) > CPI135 (176.1 ± 27.6 W) > CPI345 (164.0 ± 22.8 W) (P < 0.05). When the three sets of data were used to fit the hyperbolic Power -tlim regression, statistically significant differences between each CP were also found (P < 0.05). The shorter the predictive trials, the greater the slope of the Wlim - tlim regression; possibly because of the greater influence of 'aerobic inertia' on these trials. This may explain why CP has failed to represent a maximal, sustainable work rate. The present findings suggest that if CP is to represent the highest power output that an individual can maintain "for a very long time without fatigue" then CP should be calculated over a range of predictive tests in which the influence of aerobic inertia is minimised.

Life is tenuous and marvelous and if you catch me at a random moment, I probably won't be appreciating these poetic facts. I'll be cleaning or chewing or driving. Yet it is so wondrous to exist, you'd think we'd spend more time being in awe of this.
So I recognize the necessity of mundanity. And I also commit to stopping as often as possible to be in my life at that very moment knowing that I am the only me there will ever be. And that the Universe has spent a lot of effort keeping me alive to enjoy my now.
Living is the largest longest gift I will receive and I would be ungrateful if I didn't give it my all.

The WORD for the week
Choir Songs
Tamil Christian Songs Lyrics

Indoor worship suspended until further announced. Join us for online service at our YouTube channel.
HOPE FAITH PRAYER
SEEK HEAR OBEY
PRAYER BRINGS VICTORY
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
ICWC firmly believes that God's work moves forward only on the knees of its people... Together
The early first century Christians did exactly that. Those followers of Christ studied the scripture, worshipped, fellowshipped and most importantly prayed together, which also helped them to stay together. The book of Acts contains numerous references to show how the disciples and the early Christians prayed in one accord. Acts 20 tells of Paul and the Ephesians elders praying and weeping together. (Acts20:36)
ICWC's mission of the Prayer Ministry is to help bond people to Christ through supplication and through individual and corporate prayer. ICWC does not seek to impose its own will but kneels before God reverently to seek His presence and guidance in every aspect of the Church ministry. ICWC submits to Christ as the head of the Church and strives to obey His precepts to ensure that His bride is honored and be called a House of Prayer (Isaiah 56:7b "For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.")
Join us as we look to the Lord to intercede and pray for our Church, our family and for our nation!
Key Prayer Ministry Activities
First Sunday: Pick and Pray
On every first Sunday service during the offertory time, prayer cards indicating the names of all the families are placed in a bowl and passed to the congregation. Each congregation member (1 per family) picks a card on a random basis. They then get in touch with the family picked and pray for their needs. Both these families also could meet and pray together for each other needs. For the next 30 days, both families pray for each otherпїЅs needs and for the Church.
Second Sunday: Intercessory Prayer after the Church service
After the II Sunday fellowship hour, the Church at large gathers at the altar and prays for the families in the Church and for the church at large. The prayer lasts for an hour. Prayer points collected from the congregation are prayed for.
Third Saturday: Fasting Prayer
Fasting prayer is held at a congregation member's home. The fasting prayer starts at 9 am and ends at 1 pm.
Fourth Saturday: All Night Prayer
All night prayers are held at either Member's homes or at the Church from 10 pm to 4 am. The prayers are held once a quarter and so far two all night prayers have been held.
Other Key Prayer Activities
* A "Testimony to Answered Prayer" segment is included in the third and fourth week services, where congregation members share their answered prayer testimonies.
* Pastoral prayer every Sunday during the service for birthdays, anniversaries, sickness and other prayer needs.
* The Prayer Ministry Team members together form a "Prayer Shield" for the Pastor and his family for protection and deliverance from satanic forces.

Even if you have a bad credit rating, there are still chances that you can be accepted for the latest and trendy Smartphones such as the new Samsung Galaxy, HTCs and Apple iPhones. Probably you've heard of companies that offer no credit check mobile phones contracts to those with poor credits that cannot be accepted anywhere else.
However, there are a number of things that you need to be aware of; it is most unlikely that a person gets accepted for high end value mobile phones such as iPhone 6 plus with a very poor credit rating. Usually, when making a mobile phone contract application to a network operator, it is not only the line that is issued under the contract. The cost of the mobile phone is also under consideration. Trendy smartphones can cost as much as $900 or higher. Adding that to the cost of airtime, that is roughly $1000 plus in credit offered to you. For that reason, a credit check is done when you make a mobile phone contract application.
The company also may consider your credit history, though that may not be all that the company may have to look into. Details of your employment, work and age also help build your picture. Other relevant information such as being registered as a voter to confirm your identification may have to be used.
Mobile phone operators usually carry out the credit check to verify that you are the person you claim to be, as recommended by law. Credit checking is normally where most applicants with poor credit score get rejections. An alternative to rejection is getting an acceptance, and that means you don't have to undergo the credit check. In that case, a PAY As You Go option will be provided by the company, or a SIM only contract.
It is most important to understand that the network operators are basically after customers. Millions of dollars are spent to improve on their service delivery, and in return they seek for customers who are able to make payments on time. However, it's important to bear in mind that you can still get yourself a mobile phone even with a poor credit rating. This is because your credit history is only an element in the credit assessment process.
When you choose the no credit check option to get yourself a mobile phone, the network company in the UK or the retailer will most likely ask for an upfront deposit payment depending on the phone you are after. The upfront is then refunded at the end of your contract or after sometime during the contract. In order to amplify your chances of getting no credit check mobile phones, it is necessary that you be on the electoral register.
While making your application, ensure that you use the same address as that of your voter registration. Additionally, try out the cheaper phones as the more expensive a phone is, the high the chances of getting rejection. iPhones and other premium devices should therefore considered keenly before application.
You should ensure that you possess a proper bank account. It's very common that people with a poor financial history do not have a debit or credit card on their bank accounts, which is essential for taking a mobile phone contract.
If for any case, you have been rejected despite the above efforts, don't keep on reapplying as this reflects on your credit report and gives you bad rating even more. Instead, consider a SIM only contract.

It currently is 3 Phase, though I spoke with Workhorse the other day and they said it takes 5 Minutes to convert to single Phase. The dryer is located in Northern California. Roseville to be more specific 95678. Im looking to move it fast as we are renovating the front of our studio and need to make room. Taking reasonable offers at this point.
BUMP! Just dropped $500, priced to move. You wont find a better deal for this new of a dryer!


We exclusively adopt sandwich technology all over the world to make the contact lens. This technology means we dye the middle layer of the three. So the stain material won't touch your eyes directly,thus your eyes are protected well ,and you are able to wear the lens for 12 hours constantly without any harm.
Cheap contact lenses simply use heat-dye technique to process the contact lens , so the stain can only keep about 2 months.
It uses ordinary polyurethane plastics as the raw material. After only wearing 30 minutes your eyes will feel uncomfortable and turn red.
However our latest product in 2011 : UV contact lens adopt Baushe and Lomb lenses as the raw material, the water content can reach 45%, so it is very comfortable to wear.It can see the secret mark on the cards within 5 meters very clearly , but they will not be able to be detected by the normal eyes. We also provide marked cards and special ink for making marks as well. This our most advanced lens. It surplus all the previous lens products.Our contact lens will not change the color of your eyes.However you can see the ink mark of any colors on cards. The contact Lenses uses UVray UVA280-300nm that works together with the ink.This new technology abandons the out-of-date juice ink technology.

Q: SwiftUI: Can I use Mac-specific modifiers on Mac Catalyst app? I'm making a todo-list app available on macOS and iOS using SwiftUI and mac catalyst.
I wondered if it is possible to access every modifier available on macOS such as focus, onExitCommand, without creating a new target (e.g., only using Mac Catalyst). These modifiers are, as mentioned in the documentation, only available on macOS, but can they be used in mac Catalyst apps? And if they are, how can I use them?

I know I can add a touch bar or a toolbar to my application by adding something like this to the AppDelegate, but these are specific, there's only a few that can be implemented like that. I tried to follow this answer's advice (changing targetEnvironnment to os and macCatalyst to macOS), but the Text didn't show up.
Something as simple as this would be appreciated:
#if targetEnvironnment(macCatalyst)
Text("Hello")
   .onCopyCommand(perform: doSomething())
#endif

Thank you!

A: No, you cannot use macOS-only modifiers or styles in a Catalyst app.

Published March 1 2015
Updated March 2 2015
TALLAHASSEE — The 2015 session of the Florida Legislature begins Tuesday here with new leaders facing fresh challenges and competing demands for a projected $1 billion budget surplus.
Gov. Rick Scott ceremonially starts the session Tuesday when he delivers the annual State of the State speech to lawmakers. The 60-day session is scheduled to end May 1.
Republicans outnumber Democrats 26-14 in the Senate and 80-39 in the House, with one House seat in Tampa vacant.
Tampa Bay is in an enviable position because the chairmen of the Senate and House appropriations committees — a role with unmatched power to direct state dollars to local projects — are from the region.
Here are five legislators and five issues to watch as the session begins.
FIVE PEOPLE TO WATCH
ANDY GARDINER: The new Senate president is an easygoing leader known for a quiet persistence on behalf of families with special-needs children. Gardiner, 46, a Republican from Orlando, has been a lawmaker since 2000, the year term limits took hold. He's a hospital community relations executive, a supporter of Medicaid expansion, a sports enthusiast who champions an expansion of bike trails and the father of three children, including an 11-year-old son who has Down syndrome. He's also one of the Capitol's most ardent critics of gambling — even of the state lottery that voters approved in 1986. But he concedes that, on a floor vote, he would likely be overrun by pro-gaming senators.
STEVE CRISAFULLI: He has been called the "accidental speaker" of the House because of his unexpected path to power. Colleagues crowned him after another speaker-to-be lost a re-election bid. Crisafulli, 43, of Merritt Island is in real estate and agribusiness and is seen as a likely contender for agriculture commissioner in 2018. His top priority is an overhaul of water policy, making him a pivotal figure in implementation of the voter-approved Amendment 1, which sets aside billions of dollars for water and land protections.
TOM LEE: This Tampa Bay Republican, who represents east Hillsborough County, is in his second senatorial tour of duty and is the influential chairman of the Appropriations Committee, making him chiefly responsible for assembling the Senate's $77 billion budget, balancing competing demands for dollars and negotiating with his House counterpart. Lee was a senator from 1996 to 2006. As Senate president from 2004 to 2006, he was known for an aggressive style and willingness to tangle with lobbyists, fellow Republicans and Gov. Jeb Bush. Lee, 53, a Brandon home builder, returned to the Senate in 2012.
RICHARD CORCORAN: He has the soothing manner of a Catholic priest, but don't let that fool you. The 49-year-old Pasco County lawyer might be the most talked-about politician in Tallahassee these days because of his tactical skill at using power, and he keeps acquiring more of it as both chief House budget writer and speaker-in-waiting for 2016. A protege and former top aide to U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio when he was speaker, Corcoran last week used his muscle to block a plan to award millions in tax money to pro sports stadium projects, calling it a "reversed, perverse Robin Hood." It was vintage Corcoran: He knows how much senators want that money. It won't be easy to get in to see the guy in Room 418 of the Capitol for the next two months.
ARTHENIA JOYNER: A lifelong trailblazer, she grew up in segregated Lakeland, marched for civil rights as a teenager and opened a law practice in Tampa when no law firm would give her a job. Joyner, 71, has long been a liberal voice on such issues as affordable health care, voting rights and raising up the underclass. Now she's the leader of a 14-member Democratic caucus in the Senate, where the minority party still matters, but she'll need patience and political skill to influence the Republican-controlled agenda. Respected by her colleagues, Joyner is the first African-American woman to serve as Senate minority leader in Tallahassee.
FIVE ISSUES TO WATCH
AMENDMENT 1: When Florida voters speak with one voice, that gets Tallahassee's attention. In November, 75 percent of them passed a constitutional amendment setting aside a huge pot of money for water and land protections, nearly $800 million next year alone. Lawmakers must decide which programs and projects get the money, making this the major "food fight" of the session.
BUDGET: Passing a budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1 is the only bill the Legislature is required to pass every year. A stronger economy will produce a projected surplus of $1 billion, but lawmakers say they still don't have enough money to pay for all of Scott's campaign promises, including record per-pupil spending in public schools and nearly $700 million in tax cuts.
MEDICAID: In a state where nearly a fourth of the population has no health insurance, the expansion of Medicaid under the federal Affordable Care Act still looks like it's going nowhere in Florida. A supportive Scott and Senate can't get a resistant House to budge, but the issue may get attention because the Senate president works for a hospital that wants Medicaid expansion and the state faces a $1 billion hole from the possible loss of federal money that subsidizes hospitals for treating poor patients.
PRISONS: Rocked by revelations of inmate deaths, abusive and corrupt guards and dangerously low prison staffing levels, legislators seem more determined than in past years to overhaul the Department of Corrections. Senators are considering putting the nation's third-largest prison system under the watchful eye of an oversight board — a tacit admission that the state can't do the job on its own.
TESTING: High-stakes testing of students was a hallmark of former Gov. Jeb Bush's "A-plus" plan, but many conservatives now concede that "teaching to the test" has gone too far. For GOP lawmakers, the challenge could be placating test-weary parents in a way that doesn't look like a trashing of Bush's legacy in his home state as the two-term governor prepares to run for president.

Provide a concise and accurate end to our client's bed bug issues!
We will analyze the outcome of our treatments and take corrective action when undesired results occur.
Deliver a service that exceeds our customers expectations.
During the initial inspection it is crucial to identify all areas and level of activity. This is where the K-9 team has a huge advantage over a human inspection. Light to minimal activity is easily missed by trained pest control operators very often. This can make the situation much greater which in turn increases stress, treatment costs, possible brand reputation and on and on.
Once the K-9 indicates Bed Bug Activity the handler will then verify that live Bed Bug activity does exist. This makes a properly trained K-9 team 99.9% accurate.
Once we confirm Bed Bug activity & the level of infestation solutions will be discussed. Bed Bugs are not a "One size fits all" pest. We will tailor make a solution that fits your situation best.

The telegrams all read the same: "The Secretary of War regrets to inform you that your son was killed in action." Stop. "Further details will be forwarded to you as they become available." Stop. There was absolutely no way to argue. No questions you could ask. No more information you could glean. Your son is dead. Full Stop. In an instant, the stone rolls in front of your tomb.
There's a spot on the x-ray. We need to do more tests. Come back in immediately. Full stop. There doesn't seem to be a heartbeat. It's nothing you did. You can always try again for another baby. Stop. Yes, there is someone else. But we've been broken for a really long time. I'll never stop loving you. I'm just not in love with you anymore. Stop. The stone rolls in front of your tomb.
In an instant, that massive boulder blocks your only way out, and all that air and light and breath and spirit is sucked away and you are left alone – bound to the darkness, and your only path of escape has turned into a wall in front of you. For awhile, you might cling to that shred of hope – that maybe the test was wrong, maybe they'll change their minds, maybe some miracle will happen. So you fight; you scream for help; you dig at the walls; try and claw your way to the outside. When you fall into a heap on the floor, sobbing with exhaustion and weary with sorrow, you finally give in. For when the end has come; when the lights have dimmed, when the air is heavy and your breath has slowed, there is absolutely nothing you can do. Full Stop.
Her brother wasn't able to hear the rolling of the stone as it sealed his fate forever. But, she was, and running toward Jesus, the sound echoed in her ears. "Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died." Stop. If only… There's nothing more to be done now. It's been four days Jesus; the stench, the darkness, the sobbing, his death. If only, Lord. If only… Stop. A stone rolls in front of her tomb.
For a moment Jesus stops too. For a moment the weeping he hears is his own. For a moment he sees that stone and feels the light and the breath and the spirit being sucked out of the room. For a moment the stone rolls in front of the tomb.
But then the wonder of God begins and Jesus speaks a Word. Jesus speaks into the death; in a moment, with a word, Jesus gives life. "Take away that stone," he commands. "Lazarus, come out! Unbind him from the death that surrounds him; and let him come to me. For when I enter the world, when I speak a word, this stop nonsense ends and life – new life begins." In a moment, all that light and breath and spirit fills the darkness; and the dead are raised; the blind see; the captive set free; and all that stop nonsense falls like bands of cloth to the floor.
And you know the most wonderful thing – we don't have to literally be dead behind the stone to receive it. We don't have to wait for some day when Jesus comes again and we live together in the resurrection. Jesus rolls the stone away; Jesus speaks a word of new life to be experienced, to be lived right now. For whatever your tomb, whatever your stone, whatever full stop you hear ringing in your ears. Jesus speaks, and the glory of God shines.
There was a commercial I saw awhile ago that told the stories of a number of the clients at a local rescue mission. Each person would hold up a cardboard sign, and on the front, their tomb: fixed on drugs reads one; run out of chances reads another; nowhere to go reads a third. Stone Rolled. Tomb Shut. Stop. You can almost hear Jesus whisper, "Roll the stone away." And a smile of joy spreads across each face; they turn over those cardboard signs. Fixed on drugs…Fixed on Life. Run out of chances…Given one more. Has no-where to sleep…Home has found me. When Jesus speaks, new life abounds. Stones roll away, and full stops are transformed.
I wonder what it's like to emerge from that tomb. To walk outside and feel the rush of fresh air; to be stepping on the linens that have kept you bound. Because most of the time I forget that the stone has rolled. The front of my cardboard sign would read, "Got a job, got a family, got a home. Doing just fine on my own." I deceive myself into thinking, there are no stops in my world; there is no stone for Jesus to roll away. Until I take a moment, and look down at my feet and see myself bound by my inability to trust myself; and I look at my knees and feel the linens pulled tighter because I find my solace in food; and as I begin to lose my balance, I see the stone moving in front of me, and I realize all those little deaths I experience, the loneliness I feel in a crowded room, the children I desperately love but feel inadequate to raise, my tendency toward the critical and cranky. All those little deaths have me bound inside a tomb, I never even knew I was in; have surrounded me in full stops, that keep me blinded and in darkness.
To each one of you Jesus speaks: "Come out. You are no longer bound by the death that surrounds you. The stone is gone and you are free. For when I enter the world, when I speak a word, this stop nonsense ends." And new life…your new life begins.

Rubio accuses Cruz of flip-flopping on immigration, defense and everything else
United States Senator
United States Senator from Texas
Near the end of Thursday's Republican presidential debate, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio unleashed a sharp verbal attack on Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, accusing his GOP rival of flip-flopping on a series of issues, including immigration.
"You used to say you supported doubling the number of green cards, now you say that you're against it," Rubio said, turning to address Cruz. "You used to support a 500 percent increase in the number of guest workers. Now you say that you're against it. You used to support legalizing people who were here illegally. Now you say that you're against it. You used to say you were in favor of birthright citizenship. Now you say that you're against it."
The Florida senator didn't stop there.
"You used to support TPA [trade promotion authority]. Now you say you're against it," Rubio said. "I saw you on the Senate floor flip your vote on crop insurance, because they told you it would help you in Iowa. And last week, we all saw you flip your vote on ethanol in Iowa for the same reason. That is not consistent conservatism — that is political calculation."
SLIDESHOW – The 6th GOP debate >>>
Rubio then pivoted to a pitch for why he would be a better commander in chief than Cruz.
"When I am president, I will work consistently every single day to keep this country safe — not call Edward Snowden, as you did, a great public servant," Rubio said, referring to the former National Security Agency contractor turned whistleblower currently living in asylum in Russia. "Edward Snowden is a traitor. And if I am president and we get our hands on him, he is standing trial for treason."
Rubio added: "Every single time that there has been a defense bill in the Senate, three people team up to vote against it: Bernie Sanders, Rand Paul and Ted Cruz. In fact the only budget you've ever voted for, Ted, in your entire time in the Senate, is a budget for Rand Paul that brags about how it cuts defense. Here's the bottom line, and I'll close with this: If I'm president of the United States and Congress tries to cut the military, I will veto that in a millisecond."
Cruz appealed to the Fox Business moderators for a chance to respond.
"He had no fewer than 11 attacks there," Cruz said. "I appreciate your dumping your oppo-research folder on the debate stage. But I will say at least half of the things Marco said are flat-out false."
Cruz, who currently leads the Republican field in Iowa, had to talk through boos from the South Carolina debate crowd to explain what those things were.
"Today, standing on this stage, Marco supports legalization and citizenship for 12 million illegals," Cruz said. "I opposed and oppose legalization and citizenship and by the way, the attack he keeps throwing out [there] on the military budget, Marco knows full well that I voted for his amendment to increase military spending to $697 billion. What he said — and he said it in the last debate — it's simply not true. And as president, I will rebuild the military and keep this country safe."
While Rubio appears to get the best of Cruz in that exchange, the Florida senator faces a steep hill to climb to catch Cruz, at least in Iowa. The Texas conservative, at 25 percent, has a 13-point lead on Rubio among likely GOP caucus-goers, according to the most recent Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics poll.
The latest GOP national poll shows Rubio in third place, trailing Cruz by 7 points.

Record-Breaking Season for Maple Syrup Production in Massachusetts
June 16, 2015 Posted in: Press Room
The Daily Hampshire Gazette, June 16th, 2015, by Tom Relihan.
Though the maple sugaring season got off to a late start this year, Massachusetts sugarhouses had a record-breaking season.
Winton Pitcoff, the coordinator of the Massachusetts Maple Producers Association, said the successful season could be attributed to a variety of factors.
He said the weather likely had the biggest impact on most producers. For the sap to begin flowing through the trees, the conditions have to be just right for a thaw-freeze cycle to occur between night and day.
That cycle got started a bit late this year due to the frigid winter, but once it did, it lasted longer than normal, Pitcoff said. "We were getting a bit anxious, but it just gave us more time to get ready," he added.
Pitcoff said new technology, such as vacuum pumps and reverse osmosis systems, have made the process easier and there have been a lot of new sugarhouses opening. This year, there were 310,000 taps in the trees, compared to 290,000 last year, he said.
"We had about a dozen new members this year," he said.
The Associated Press reported that 75,000 gallons of syrup were produced statewide this year, a 23 percent increase over last year and the best year on record. According to the National Agricultural Statistics Service, maple syrup production was up 6 percent nationally this year. The increase in Massachusetts was the second highest overall.
Tom McCrumm, the owner of South Face Farm in Ashfield, said he had a good season, despite the slow start. He turned out about 500 gallons.
"For what I tapped, it turned out well," McCrumm said. He said he put out fewer taps this year than in years past, but the sap ran a bit sweeter, which meant he had to boil it down less for the same amount of syrup.
He said having a year like that is entirely up to the whims of Mother Nature.
"They've been researching it for years," he said. "It has to do with the amount of sunlight, or rain, the trees got the last growing season, or the year before that."
McCrumm said the record-breaking year shows that the state's maple industry is strong and expanding.
"That's great to see for such tiny little state like this," he said. "Most people I've talked to seemed to be pretty satisfied."
Massachusetts ranks ninth in maple production. Vermont takes the top spot.

WATCH: Gal Gadot Sizzles in New Wonder Woman Trailer
Carl Kaminsky
Gal Gadot can be seen in a new trailer for the movie "Wonder Woman." The Israeli actress hopes that it will make her the world's first Israeli box office star.
But we just hope that it won't be as bad as the two new Superman movies were.
Wonder. Power. Courage. #WonderWoman pic.twitter.com/knjnhQnOPl
— Gal Gadot (@GalGadot) November 3, 2016
The actress first took on the role earlier this year in the dud "Batman vs Superman." But Wonder Woman was badly underused in that movie which was just a setup for the new Justice League films. DC should have learned from Marvel: Iron Man, The Hulk, Captain America and Thor all had their own movies before "Avengers" came out.
Wonder Woman says in the narrative, "I used to want to save the world. This beautiful place. But the closer you get, the more you see the great darkness within. I learned this the hard way, a long, long time ago."
And we get plenty of glimpses into Gal Gadot looking hot in costume.
Gal Gadot told Entertainment Weekly, "I feel that I've got the opportunity to set a great role model for girls to look up to a strong, active, compassionate, loving, positive woman and I think it's so important. It's about time that somebody will do that and I'm very privileged and honored to be the one."

So is the 31 year old Israeli on her way to stardom? Well her recent comedy attempt "Keeping Up with the Joneses" bombed. And in the near future she will only be playing Wonder Woman with two DC movies in 2017 including "Justice League" and then its sequel in 2019.
For now Gal Gadot's entire career is pinned to the success or failure of the new DC movies.

María Paloma Gómez Borrero (Madrid, 18 de agosto de 1934-ibídem, 23 de marzo de 2017) fue una periodista y escritora española.

Biografía

Descendiente, por línea materna, de Juan Álvarez Mendizábal. Su abuelo materno, el general Borrero, tuvo un destacado papel en las tropas isabelinas durante las Guerras Carlistas. Comenzó sus estudios en el colegio Alemán, y durante los veranos tuvo la oportunidad de visitar Francia, Reino Unido y Alemania, gracias a un programa de becas. Prosiguió sus estudios en el colegio del Sagrado Corazón de la calle Caballero de Gracia (Madrid), se graduó en la Escuela Oficial de Periodismo y trabajó como enviada especial del semanario Sábado Gráfico en Alemania, Austria y el Reino Unido. Hablaba cinco idiomas.

En diciembre de 1976 fue nombrada corresponsal de TVE en Italia y el Vaticano, siendo una de las primeras mujeres corresponsales en el extranjero de la televisión nacional —la primera fue Ana Isabel Cano corresponsal en Viena nombrada en 1968—. Fue destituida del cargo en 1983 por decisión personal del entonces director de RTVE, José María Calviño.

Con posterioridad colaboró en buena parte de los magazines que ha conducido María Teresa Campos: Pasa la vida (1991-1996) en TVE; Día a día (1996-2004) en Telecinco y Cada día (2004-2005), en Antena 3. Asimismo, fue corresponsal de Venevisión (Venezuela) y del Noticiero TV Hoy (Colombia). Entre agosto de 2007 y 2012 colaboró en el programa de Telecinco La noria, presentado por Jordi González.

Hasta junio de 2012 fue corresponsal de la cadena COPE en Roma y el Vaticano, comentando desde allí los eventos religiosos de la Iglesia católica retransmitidos en Cadena Cope y Popular TV. En 2012 fue colaboradora del programa Ventana al mundo de la radio para Latinoamérica  y EE. UU.,  desde Italia y el Vaticano, y fue un año corresponsal en Italia de Es Radio.

El 15 de agosto de 2013 plantó y amadrinó un árbol con su nombre en el Parque de la Comunicación de Boiro (La Coruña), el único de España creado por periodistas.

Estudió quiromancia aplicada a la psicología.

Fue pregonera de Semana Santa en Medina de Rioseco (1992) en la de Valladolid en 2000 y la de Cuenca en 2014.

El 12 de octubre de 2014 estrenó en Toledo el recital Teresa. Una castellana vieja y recia, junto al barítono Luis Santana y el pianista Antonio López, que fue protagonista de los actos del V Centenario de Santa Teresa de Jesús, interpretándose a lo largo del Año Teresiano por más de setenta espacios relacionados con la poetisa. El concierto estaba basado en música compuesta por Francisco Palazón, Ángel Barja, Amadeo Vives, Juan del Encina, Federico Mompou o Ernesto Monsalve.

Colaboró en numerosos medios de comunicación españoles como TVE, Telemadrid, 13TV, Alfa y Omega, COPE etc. Tenía un amplio conocimiento de la Santa Sede, y acompañó a Juan Pablo II en sus 104 viajes (5 de ellos a España) visitando 160 países: unas 29 veces la vuelta al mundo en kilómetros recorridos.

En noviembre de 2016, durante la entrega del Premio Iris, Paloma explicó: "El primer viaje que hice fue con Pablo VI y lo último que he hecho es el cierre de la Puerta Santa con el papa Francisco. Sigo en la brecha". También agradeció el premio a Italia "que ha sido muy generosa con ella", y a su familia, "ellos han sido mi apoyo y mucho de lo que soy en esta profesión se lo debo a la santa paciencia de mi marido y mis hijos. La de veces que les he dejado comiendo en la mesa para irme a mandar una crónica".

Contrajo matrimonio con Alberto de Marchís. Fueron padres de Raniero, Carlo y Giorgio de Marchís.

Falleció el jueves 23 de marzo de 2017, a los 82 años a causa de un cáncer hepático diagnosticado unas semanas antes. Fue incinerada.

Respondent filed a Petition for Review May 9, 2016 from a Discretionary Order issued April 27, 2016 by the trial commissioner acting for the Fourth District. No record exists as the order was issued as the result of an informal hearing. Due process requires an evidentiary hearing where a record can be created. The Compensation Review Board cannot properly consider this appeal under Sec. 31-301(a).
The matter is therefore remanded for a Formal Hearing or other appropriate action. See, Alley v. Performance Landex, LLC, 6094 CRB-7-16-5 (May 12, 2016), Tomlinson v. State/Department of Developmental Services – North Region, 6020 CRB-8-15-6 (July 15, 2015).

The court has jurisdiction over domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, harassment, and extreme risk protection order cases. A victim may request a court order that prohibits any contact by the perpetrator. The initial order is called a "temporary order" and is requested "ex parte" (by just one side). If the Judge grants a temporary order, it will be in effect for 14 days and a hearing will be scheduled for each side to present his/her case. If the Judge does not grant the temporary order, the Judge may still schedule a hearing to have each side present his/her side. The Judge, upon hearing each side, will then either grant or deny the protection order request. The orders granted by the Judge are put into the police computer system to facilitate enforcement.
The Bainbridge Island Municipal Court is available for temporary protection order requests Monday through Friday. It is recommended you contact the court to make sure there are no scheduling changes. The court is generally available Monday to Friday at 11 a.m. to hear protection order requests. To schedule a hearing for a Temporary Protection Order request, you must contact the clerk at 206-842-5641 for further instruction.
In some situations involving children, a shared residence, a family law case in Superior Court, or extreme risk protection order requests, the Municipal Court may only be able to hear the temporary order and must by law transfer the case to Superior Court (in Port Orchard) for the full order hearing.
Advocacy for Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault
Domestic Violence Cases
The YWCA maintains an office in the court building in Rollingbay for an advocate to assist victims and petitioners with domestic violence cases. The advocate is available to assist people, offering crisis response, safety planning, legal advocacy and advocacy- based counseling. For additional information, contact: 360-479-0491 or the 24-hour crisis line 800-500-5513, or visit the YWCA Kitsap County website.
Sexual Assault Cases
The Kitsap Sexual Assault Center provides advocacy for victims of sexual assault. KSAC also offers a 24-hour crisis support line at 1 866-831-2050 and other services described on the KSAC website. The legal advocate (as of December 2017) to contact if you are petitioning for a Sexual Assault Protection Order is Beverly Van Santford at 360-337-4950 or email Beverly Van Santford.
There may be some circumstances where the mediation process is an option to resolve your dispute. Kitsap Dispute Resolution Center offers these services.
Mediation Handout
There are five types of orders that you may petition for in municipal court. A Domestic Violence ("DV") protection order should be requested if there is violence or threats between current or former family or household members. An Anti-Harassment protection order should be requested if there have been harassment by a non-family or non-household member, such as a neighbor or acquaintance that you are not related to and have never lived with. If the behavior rises to the level of stalking, you should request a stalking protection order. If you were sexually assaulted, you may petition for a sexual assault protection order. If you are seeking that the other party surrender firearms, you should provide the Motion for Surrender of Weapons. If someone hasn't committed any harm or threatening behavior to you, but poses a significant danger of harm to self or others with a firearm, you may seek to remove or prevent possession of a firearm through the extreme risk protection order. The advocate and clerk can help you determine which order you should petition for.

Process for Protection Order Hearings
Request for Temporary Order
When a person (also called a "party" in legal terms), requests a protection order against another person, the Court will review the written petition and documents submitted. The Judge may also ask you questions in open court.
The Judge will consider whether or not to issue a temporary order and set a full hearing. There are three things that may happen upon a request for a temporary protection order:
The Court issues a temporary protection order, good for up to 14 days and sets the matter for a Full Order Hearing;
The Court declines to issue a temporary protection order and sets the matter for a Full Order Hearing;
The Court finds that there are not sufficient grounds for a protection order and declines to issue a temporary order and set any further hearing.
If a temporary order is issued, it will be forwarded to the police department for service of the petition paperwork, temporary order, and notice of hearing. Bainbridge Island Police will serve all types of orders without requiring any service fees. Other police departments may charge service fees for personal service of harassment protection orders.
Full Order Hearing
When a person requests a protection order against another person, that person must be given notice. Notice is provided by in-person service of the temporary order and next hearing (typically by law enforcement). You should expect that all paperwork submitted to the court (except confidential law enforcement form) will be given to the person you are requesting an order against. Court actions must be public hearings and all paperwork must be shown to the other side.
If the party is not served prior to the next hearing, the Judge may reissue the temporary order and reset the hearing to allow for proper notice to be provided. If the requesting party fails to appear for the full order hearing, the matter will be dismissed. If the responding party is served properly according to legal requirements and fails to appear at the hearing, the Judge may issue the protection order against the person.
At the Full Order Hearing, the parties will be kept separated prior to the start of the hearing as much as possible. The parties will be present at the same time during the hearing. The Bainbridge Island Municipal Court has a security officer present for the hearing.
At the Full Order Hearing, the Court will review the evidence submitted, testimony, and any additional evidence submitted. Each party will have an opportunity to address the Judge.
Presentation of Evidence- Protection Order Hearings
Each court may have different rules and procedures regarding hearings. The following is information to assist you with your upcoming protection order hearing at the Bainbridge Island Municipal Court. If your hearing is transferred to Kitsap County Superior Court, different rules may apply.
At the full order hearing, the Court will consider the written petition and any additional evidence presented and that the Judge deems relevant to the matter.
Each side will have an opportunity to present his/her side to the Judge. You are not required to have a lawyer for a protection order hearing and many parties appear "pro se" (representing oneself). If you would like to have a lawyer represent you, you must hire an attorney in advance of the hearing at your own expense. "Evidence" is what you present in court to prove your side of the case. Evidence can be your statements (called "testimony"), documents or photos. The following are examples of the types of evidence that can be used to present your side of the case to the Judge.
Your Testimony
You should describe for the Judge the reasons why you want the order of protection or why the protection order should not be granted. You should include information about any incidents in question. Remember to describe each incident by referring to "who, how, when and where".
Testimony of Witnesses
You may ask people who have knowledge about the incidents in question or corroborative evidence to testify at the full order hearing. Any testimony should be related and relevant to the reasons for the protection order request. You should present written statements of witnesses using the Declaration Form included with the petition packet. However, keep in mind that live testimony may be more helpful to the Judge than a written statement.
You may present physical items in order to prove your side of the case. If you bring digital evidence, you must either have it printed out on paper or on a CD/ DVD/Flashdrive that can be admitted and kept by the Court as part of the record. If you plan to present digital evidence, you should bring a way to play that evidence to the Court (such as a laptop) or the Judge will not be able to see it. Some examples of items that you might present include: Police reports, medical records, photographs, bills/invoices, letters, emails, voicemail messages, and video. You bear the burden of presenting your side of the case. The Judge and clerks are not allowed to do that work for you.
You must have three copies of anything you plan to show to the Judge (1) for yourself; (2) for the other party; and (3) a copy for the Judge/court file. Providing this evidence in advance of the hearing to the Court and the other party will prevent delays. You may drop off a copy of any evidence to the clerk in advance of your hearing and the clerk will contact the other party regarding pick up, if the clerk has contact information for that party. If you fail to bring adequate copies, the clerk will charge you for any copies requested at 50 cents per page.

Are you and your staff ready to pluck the correct code from the thousands of possibilities when the nation's health care payment systems switch to ICD-10 on Oct. 1? Even assuming that all the electronic systems from here to the payers work correctly, you won't get paid correctly if you use the wrong code. And you might not get paid at all. To help you get it right the first time, TMA is offering members the e-MDs ICD-10 Code Search Tool. "Using a combination of keyword filters, anatomical locations, gender, and age, the tool offers a highly intuitive way to build a narrow list of billable ICD-10 codes based on user preferences," as our marketing team puts it. For practices still trying to get all their ICD-10 ducks in a row, we also are rebroadcasting our Essentials in ICD-10 Coding seminar on Friday, Sept. 25, from 12:30 to 3:30 pm CT.

From Monday, March 12th to Wednesday, March 14th, fifty five American Liver Foundation patient advocates and staff participated in our ALF Annual Advocacy Day in Washington D.C. and our pre- and post-activities. What can fifty-five individuals accomplish?
Together, we represented twenty-five home states. We conducted eighty-three legislative visits–not as lobbyists, but as constituents. In groups of 3-6, we visited the offices of forty-four Senators and thirty-nine Representatives from all regions of the country. Forty-three are Republicans and forty-one, Democrats. All have a stake in supporting our legislative priorities (attached).
Janet Rost, a member of ALF's Rocky Mountain Division's Board who has had a liver transplant, reflected on her days in Washington, "Looking back on the week, a person gets incredibly proud of all the meetings and hopes that our work will push the initiatives along in a positive way. The people at the company I'm doing work for were thanking me today for my efforts to make things better for everyone. Without ALF's commitment to bringing us to Washington, our efforts wouldn't go anywhere as we don't personally have the resources to accomplish all of this. The big thank you is to ALF and the staff who put this event together. It makes me proud to be involved."
To prepare for our visits with legislators, we spent four hours over two days preparing ourselves with the assistance of ALF's advocacy consultants, the Health and Medicine Counsel of Washington (HMCW). The day after speaking to our Congressional Representatives, many of us met again for a refresher on advocating as members of ALF's National Patient Advisory Committee–not simply understanding our positions, but being prepared to speak to the press, advocate on regional, state and local levels and harness the power of social media.
I am delighted by this evidence of ALF's effectiveness in speaking for individuals whose lives have been affected by liver disease.
Not to be outdone by all our official activities, just after completing his final presentation to our National Patient Advocacy Committee, National Director of Programs Jonathan Martin gave us all quite a scare when he was suddenly taken ill by what was later determined to be a gall bladder attack. Luckily, one of our advocates, Jess Schnur, is a nurse and jumped into action to help manage things until the paramedics arrived. She accompanied Jonathan to the hospital in the ambulance (not the way either would recommend viewing the monuments in D.C.) and stayed with him until he was discharged several hours later. We are thankful she was there, and are happy to report that Jonathan is fine and was back to work the next day, although it does look like elective surgery is in his future.
