Yahoo's New Mail App – Integrate All Your Online Accounts In One Place
The Internet has changed our lives in more ways than one. Today people have multiple accounts online across multiple platforms for multiple purposes. Facebook and Twitter for social networking, Gmail and Yahoo for sending and receiving personal emails, Flickr and Google Plus for sharing photos with friends and relatives, LinkedIn for professional networking etc. With so many accounts to manage and maintain, isn't it cumbersome for users to separately access each account by entering a different password every time?
Integrate Multiple Accounts
Yahoo's new mail app allows users to integrate multiple third-party email and social networking accounts. While currently it does not provide support for Gmail or enterprise Outlook accounts, users can receive all their emails from their Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail, or personal AOL accounts since their inception in one place. Yahoo's new mail app also connects with Facebook, LinkedIn, Flickr and Twitter accounts making the entire experience very gratifying.
Easy and User-Friendly Interface
Available for Android and iOS users, Yahoo's new mail app incorporates gestures that have long being used by smartphone users; select multiple messages with a long press, delete a mail by swiping left, mark a mail as read by swiping right. Contact cards enable users to see all the details of the selected contact, even if the contact is not part of their address book.
Improved Search and Messaging Capabilities
Yahoo's new mail app offers advanced search capabilities. Users can search for old emails by sender name and the app will offer smart suggestions that make the entire experience pleasing. If the user adds the personal email of a sender in a message, the app has the ability to suggest personal emails for all the other senders in the message. Additionally, users can send photos and emails right within the email body rather than as an attachment and can also send themselves reminders by holding the compose button down.
Get rid of all your Passwords
The most important aspect of Yahoo's new mail app is it gives users the freedom to get rid of all their passwords.
The Account Key feature works mostly like an on-demand password.
When a user logs into his account, instead of entering the password, the user is required to press a button that sends a push notification on his phone.
As the user selects the push notification, Yahoo's new mail app automatically opens and asks the user if he's trying to sign in.
Once the sign in has been approved by the user, the account opens in the mobile or desktop browser.
Users also have the option of receiving passwords via email or text message.
Ensure High Security
As most users use same passwords across multiple accounts, there is a high risk of profile hacks. By dropping the need to enter a password every time a user accesses an account, Yahoo aims to reduce the probability of account compromise. Moreover, when users receive emails from their bank or their travel agent, they can see the sender's logo next to the email. Yahoo has made it a point to only show logos of companies which have been officially signed and verified and hence it works as an additional security feature.
Offering users a single platform to access all of their online accounts is truly a blessing. And that too with a single authentication process! Set to coincide with Yahoo's 18th birthday in October 2015 , Yahoo's new mail app is sure to revolutionize the way people access their online accounts, by them the freedom to seamlessly switch from one account to another on their favourite hand-held device or desktop browser.

Q: Convert string = dataTable variable Name to DataTable type in visual basic Im using VB.net and I have a variable that contains a string which is the name of another variable. I want to access that variable based off of that string. The scenario goes like this
I am doing a log DataTable with variable name "LogChanges"
Now I have a DataTable variable name "dtbEmployee"
the value "dtbEmployee" will be stored in DataTable "LogChanges" as string
Now
while i loop through the "LogChanges" DataTable and get the "dtbEmployee" in string. Is there a way to use this string to point back to the "dtbEmployee" DataTable
Something like this
    For Each dr As DataRow In LogChanges.Select("", "DtbId")
        If dr.Item("RecordSeQ") > 0 Then
            Dim tempDataTable As DataTable
            tempDataTable = "Convert dr.Item("dtbNAme")"  to DataTable code
        End If
    Next

Note: RecordSEQ is just a counter to see how many records have been modified for this table

A: You would need to store the DataTable against that name somewhere, e.g. the Tables collection of a DataSet or a Dictionary.  If the variable is a field and you have the object that has the correct DataTable assigned to that field then you could use Reflection but that would be cumbersome at best.  The variable is not the DataTable so you have to some actual relationship to use to get the DataTable via the use of the name.

Maersk to Operate World's First Under Construction Methanol Fueled Feeder
9 mins read Sealuminati Team July 2, 2021
A.P. Moller-Maersk has signed a contract with Hyundai Mipo Dockyards to construct a feeder ship with dual engine technology. This would enable the ship to sail on either methanol or very low traditional Sulphur fuel. Earlier in 17th February this year, being an industry first, Maersk declared its intentions to order such a vessel. The vessel is anticipated to be Danish-flagged.
Henriette Hallberg Thygesen (CEO, F & SB, A.P. Moller – Maersk) optimistically said, "This ground-breaking container vessel demonstrates that scalable solutions to shipping's pollution issue are already accessible today. It will provide us with significant expertise in managing the container boats of the future beginning in 2023, while also providing a full carbon neutral product to our numerous clients who rely on us to help them decarbonize their supply chains."
The freighter will serve as the Maersk subsidiary between Northern Europe and the Bay of Bothnia, recognized as a Maersk Subsidiary-Sealand network, Europe on the Baltic shipping route. MAN Energy Solutions, in collaboration with Hyundai Engine, will develop the methanol propulsion configuration. They will also be looking into both main and auxiliary engines, jointly with Maersk and Hyundai Mipo. The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) will be the Classification Society.
"The development of this vessel is a major undertaking, but we have already made great progress in our collaboration with the yard and the producers to reach this point. While we are pioneering new solutions for our sector, we are using tried-and-true technology, and the cost savings from further scale are becoming evident.," added Ole Graa Jakobsen (HFT, A.P. Moller – Maersk).
Maersk's biggest customers, reportedly more than half, have set or in the mid-procedure of setting determined technology-enhanced or zero carbon emission goals for their supply chain. This adds to another vital effort by Maersk to aid the skyrocketing customer numbers calling for neutral carbon commodities.

Litter on a stick? Real estate agent fined $2,750 for too many open house signs
Real estate agent Jerry Del Mauro was issued a citation from the City of Huntington Beach for $2,750 because he put out too many open house signs. Del Mauro displays his citation in Huntington Beach on Tuesday, May 29, 2018 (Photo by Leonard Ortiz, Orange County Register/SCNG)

Traffic whizzes by a trio of open house signs on a center divider in Long Beach on a recent weekend. Many cities ban signs on public rights of way, including sidewalks, calling them "an eyesore." But a violation in one city is perfectly legal in another. (Photo by Jeff Collins, the Orange County Register/SCNG)

The citation a city code enforcement officer gave real estate agent Jerry Del Mauro for putting out "excessive" open house signs. Realtor associations say agents face a dizzying array of sign rules in Southern California's 183 cities. City officials and citizens call the signs sprouting up on corners every weekend "blight." (Photo by Leonard Ortiz, Orange County Register/SCNG)
Real estate agent Jerry Del Mauro acknowledged he violated the rules when he posted 11 signs too many for a May 5 open house. One Southern California Realtor officials says there needs to be standardized sign laws. Many say the $2,750 fine — since reduced — was excessive. (Photo by Leonard Ortiz, Orange County Register/SCNG)
Jerry Del Mauro hoped to score a $1.4 million sale last month when he staged an open house near the water in Huntington Beach.
Del Mauro said he had no choice. The house sat on an island at the end of a semi-desolate street almost 2 miles from the nearest traffic light. To guide buyers to his open house, he put out some 18 signs — 11 more than the city typically allows.
City officials are "Nazi Sign Police," another commenter said, and a third called the citation "a Communist joke."
The case is one of the more extreme examples of ongoing tensions between real estate agents and city officials throughout the region – and across the country.
Real estate agents may be licensed by the state, but sign laws are drafted by individual cities.
And because some of the 183 cities in the region are more restrictive than others, agents face a dizzying array of sign rules when doing business in multiple municipalities.
"Every city is different, and every city has different rules and regulations," said Laura Olhasso, government affairs director for the Burbank, Glendale, Arcadia and Pasadena-Foothill Realtor associations. "If you're a Realtor doing business in several cities, you've got to know the rules in that city before you place open house signs."
Some cities have no sign limits and allow agents to put signs on sidewalks, the grass next to a curb and even on center medians or dividers.
Others ban signs on sidewalks, curbside grass and medians and are so restrictive "you can't have an open house," said Barbara Delgleize, a Huntington Beach councilwoman and a past president of the Orange County Association of Realtors.
Even more frustrating is city sign codes and policies often are spelled out in technical language that even city enforcement officers have trouble explaining clearly. In Huntington Beach, for example, city officials won't give a maximum sign limit, saying more are allowed in some situations "so long as the number is reasonable."
What makes Del Mauro's case stand out is the size of his fine.
Realtor association officials throughout the region say that while derelict agents often get their signs confiscated, fines are rare. And fines greater than a few hundred dollars are unheard of.
"I've never seen a fine come close to that," said David Kissinger, government affairs director for the South Bay Association of Realtors in Torrance.
"That seems obscene. That's over the top," added Mel Wilson, government affairs director for the Southland Association of Realtors in the San Fernando and Santa Clarita valleys. "There needs to be a standardized sign law so people know what the rules are."
Litter on a stick
On the other side of the controversy are city employees who have been inundated with citizen complaints about the virtual forests of open house signs sprouting up on corners, median strips and curbside over the past three years, fueled by a frenzied housing market.
"We have received pushback from residents," Huntington Beach code enforcement Supervisor Rich Massi said in an email. "A few Realtors … started to blanket the city with open house signs at various locations, which created a nuisance and blight."
Massi said several other agents also have been cited for violating city sign policies, with fines ranging from $250 to $3,000.
Similar tensions have cropped up in cities throughout the region, and across the country.
"We are being bombarded, and Realtors aren't taking their signs down," said Lula Davis-Holmes, a Carson councilwoman for 11 years. "It became an eyesore. And it became a public safety issue."
In February, a Tulsa, Okla., city councilman called all temporary signs — including open house placards — "litter on a stick" and sought to have them banned on public rights of way, the Tulsa World reported.
Davis-Holmes called open house signs antiquated in the internet age, questioning why agents even bother to hold open houses.
"My impression from real estate agents is those signs attract more lookie-loos than actual buyers," she said.
But Kissinger, the South Bay Realtor official, said they may be antiquated, but signs remain the most effective way to draw buyers to an open house.
Fighting city hall
Five weeks ago, Del Mauro held his first open house for the $1.4 million home on Huntington Harbour's Trinidad Island, spending $200 for drinks and sandwiches.
"Nobody showed up," he said. "No one on the mainland can see your signs."
So the next weekend, he posted signs on heavily trafficked streets 2 miles to the east, with more signs guiding home shoppers through each turn.
"I definitely violated the ordinance because of the location of my house," he said. "If I used just four signs, you wouldn't be able to find my house. … The rules are good, but you have to have exceptions."
Massi, the city code enforcement supervisor, said this wasn't Del Mauro's first offense. The city sent him emails three times last year with photos showing signs that violated city code.
Nonetheless, Massi said, he decided to reduce Del Mauro's "extensive fine" to $500 since nobody had spoken to him personally beforehand.
Del Mauro, a 20-year real estate veteran, said he'll likely pay the $500 but isn't giving up without a fight.
He and several fellow agents hope to meet with the city council to request exceptions in the sign ordinance for hard-to-find properties.
"We're constantly trying to find ways to attract traffic to our open houses," Del Mauro said. "If you can't have the signs, how are you going to attract the people?"

Hi, my Windows 10 PC is constantly trying to update itself and freezes at 53% complete, or on the startup screen and has to be rebooted and returned to previous version of Windows. Is this something you can work on? If so, pls let me know and we can schedule a time. I can do most afternoons.
Michael worked hard and creatively to try to solve my issue. Happy to recommend for any similar tasks.
I've got a technician coming to install Adsl2+. I've been told this technician can only setup the service to the MDF and my Strata advised that another tenant within the unit complex required someone to install a MDF jumper so that the ADSL2+ service can be provided to the unit. I need someone qualified and licensed to do the MDF jumpering for me although I'm not 100% that it will be needed. Any way I can check to confirm this job?

CP of the Philippines exposes U.S. military intervention
Posted on July 9, 2010 | Leave a comment
The following statement by the Communist Party of the Philippines is from the website of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines:
The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) today lambasted US Ambassador Harry Thomas for "lying through his teeth" when he claimed yesterday that US troops in the Philippines are not engaged in combat operations in the Philippines.
The CPP said "The US government is actively waging a multi-dimensional interventionist war in the Philippines. US troops are actually engaged in military operations in the country, starting from the provision of advice and training, sending 'humanitarian assistance forces,' in the country providing logistical, intelligence and combat support to local puppet troops, or actual engaging in covert combat operations."
Since 2001, a 600-strong contingent of US soldiers under the US Pacific Command's Joint Special Operations Task Force-Philippines (JSOTFP) have been operating in many regions of the country under the guidance of their exclusive headquarters inside various AFP camps.
The CPP-NPA, at the head of the People's War
The CPP pointed out that "More than just an open secret, there have been factual reports that US soldiers stationed in the Philippines have been actively involved in so-called counterinsurgency operations in the country. It has carried out military operations independent of or integrated with the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) including providing intelligence, weapons and other logistical support, and joining operations in the battlefield. In many cases, US military officers based in tactical command posts in battlefields have actually been the ones giving instruction or 'expert advice' to AFP commanders during combat operations."
"Ambassador Thomas glosses over the fact that in the past several years, there have been several reports of US troops engaged in battlefield operations together with AFP units in various provinces across the country, most of them in Mindanao," the CPP added.
Various instances of direct involvement of US troops in operations against the Abu Sayyaf in Mindanao were cited by the CPP: "In September last year, two American soldiers were killed when they were ambushed in Indanan, Sulu. Earlier that month, a team of US soldiers transporting undisclosed items passed by the port of Jolo in Sulu and opened fire indiscriminately in a knee-jerk reaction to a supposed grenade explosion. The US soldiers damaged dock facilities and a nearby mosque. Back in 2002, Sgt. Reggie Lane, a US Army serviceman embedded among troops of the 18th IB shot Buyong-buyong Isnijal, a farmer in Basilan in a raid on his house to arrest him for suspicion of being an Abu Sayyaf element."
The CPP also enumerated a number of instances US where military personnel were witnessed to have been playing active roles in combat operations in Mindanao against the New People's Army (NPA):
"Around mid-February and again in early July this year, US soldiers were seen together with troops of the AFP operating against the NPA in Quezon, Bukidnon. These interventionist troops, together with a unit of the AFP, engaged an NPA unit in a firefight and even committed atrocities against the residents in the area."
"In April and again in September last year, US troops were also sighted with AFP soldiers in Valencia and Malaybalay asking local residents for possible NPA locations and even intimidating civilians in the area. In May 2008, a four-man team of US military officers set up office inside the tactical command post of the 1003rd Brigade during a massive anti-NPA operation in Compostela Province. In April last year, a US soldier was wounded in a firefight between the New People's Army and troops of the 9th IB in Masbate."
The CPP added that US interventionist forces have been expanding the scope of their Joint US-Philippine Balikatan military exercises to cover areas with strong NPA presence for the purpose of military mapping and mastering the area, setting up their own intelligence infrastructure and providing intelligence and backup support to puppet troops engaged in combat operations against the NPA. The CPP also cited increasing reports of US drones flying over guerrilla fronts of the NPA to monitor guerrilla movements and feed these to the puppet operating troops.
"Within the framework of its doctrine of counterinsurgency, various US agencies also launch 'civilian-military operations' with the aim of painting a benevolent image of US imperialism and drawing the people away from waging armed resistance."
"All these forms and levels of direct and indirect military intervention are being undertaken by the US government in line with its US Counterinsurgency Guide, which stipulates the US' self-claimed role of interfering in the internal affairs of a sovereign state and in the fight against local armed resistance," the CPP said further.
The CPP added: "What makes it worse for the Filipino peoples is the fact that the puppet Philippine government acquiesces to such unabashed foreign political and military interventionism. US officials have repeatedly claimed that its presence and operations in the Philippines are being undertaken upon the request of the Philippine government." It also noted that in his speeches, the new president of the puppet state, Benigno Aquino III has been openly and repeatedly declaring his obeisance to the entire concept of the US Counterinsurgency Guide."

Financial Lovemaking: Usher's ex-wife, garnished bank accounts, and divorce
BWCStaff
Tameka Raymond, the ex-wife of the singer Usher, has had a hard time since the two were divorced. According to TheJasmineBrand.com, Raymond recently had her bank account garnished in order to pay off a $200,000 lawsuit.
In 2010, Tameka was sued by Antelope Valley Plaza. She had signed a lease with the company for three spaces for her business, which consisted of an indoor playground for kids. Unfortunately, the venture didn't work out the way she wanted, and she found herself in dire financial straits.
Damages were awarded in the amount of $204,665.15, leaving Tameka to lose the $13,000 or so she had in her Bank of America checking account.
This leads to an interesting question about the lives of celebrity exes, and whether some of them have a hard time letting go. Tameka is a star on the reality TV show, "Atlanta Exes," and even though she and Usher have been divorced for several years, she and others on the show seem to live off of the names and incomes of the men they were once married to.
This episode of Financial Lovemaking discusses this trend and talks about healthy ways to ensure that you can break loose when the marriage has come to an end. There is also conversation about how to prepare for the financial breakup so that it doesn't break you down economically. Love can be blissful, but the aftermath can make you feel like a dope addict who is crashing. Here are some thoughts that might help us all understand the dangers of living through somebody else.

local_library Rural Rides - Volume 2
A horse and rider travelling around Southern England in the 1820's.
William Cobbett 1830 357
VOLUME 2 - "There is no better way of rediscovering a lost but still not forgotten England than to turn to the colourful pages of William Cobbett's Rural Rides," writes Asa Briggs in the Introduction to this volume.
Already when Cobbett began to write the accounts of his journeys in 1821, the England which he had known as a boy was beginning to look and to feel different. The landscape was changing as a result of the double impact of agricultural enclosure and the growth of towns: society too was changing as a result of the combined influences of industry, finance and war.
To many of Cobbett's contemporaries the changes were good, visible signs of the " march of improvement"; to Cobbett and his followers they were bad, but it still seemed that there was time enough to reverse them. "Events are working together".
Cobbett wrote in 1825, "to make the country worth living in which, for the great body of the people, is at present hardly the case." It was for the sake of discovering the true state of affairs and appealing to others to help promote the proper remedies that Cobbett began to travel round England.
local_library Salisbury Plain Its Stones, Cathedral City, Valleys And Folk
The places, people and stories that occupy Salisbury Plain.
Ella Noyes 1913 353
Book Introduction: Besides depending upon the classic authority of Sir Richard Colt Hoare, and the topographical and biographical writings of our earlier Wiltshire antiquary, the only and incomparable John Aubrey, I have drawn freely for information upon the Magazine of the Wiltshire Archaeological Society, and upon Wiltshire Notes and Queries.
On Salisbury and the Cathedral there are many books; among the more recent writings on special points I may mention those of the Rev C Wordsworth, Mr Maiden and Mr C Haskins.
The Plain has been adopted of late years as a military training ground. But there is less change, however, than might be thought. The landscape is so large and open that the camps scattered here and there from April to September—and even the permanent settlements are soon lost and forgotten in its immensity.
local_library Salisbury, The Cathedral And See
An architectural description of Salisbury Cathedral
Gleeson White and Edward F Strange 1901 130
Preface: This series of monographs has been planned to supply visitors to the great English Cathedrals with accurate and well illustrated guide books at a popular price. The aim of each writer has been to produce a work compiled with sufficient knowledge and scholarship to be of value to the student of archaeology and history, and yet not too technical in language for the use of an ordinary visitor or tourist.
From the authors: There is probably no cathedral church in Europe, certainly no other English one, that has such a clear record of its history as Salisbury. Whereas in almost every other instance we have only vague legendary accounts of the original foundation of the building, in this case there is a trustworthy chronicle of its first inception and each successive stage of its progress extant.

Poems and Verse
Henry Doman 1867 201
Songs Of Lymington Vol 2 by Henry Doman (1820 to 1885).
Book Introduction: A year or two ago into the world an unpretentious book of song I sent, Much fearing such bold emprise to repent. Some look'd upon't with mighty scorn, and curled disdainful lips, loud wondering what was meant by such presumption.
Some, to mercy bent, suspended judgment, read, and gave it place with nobler volumes.
local_library Southampton And Isle of Wight A Poem
Samuel Bromley 1849 158
Preface: Whether the following poem will give its author any claim to be considered a child of nature, and to have produced a poem in harmony with truth, beauty and utility, the reader must judge. Both the poet and his poem, therefore, should be children of nature, not of art.
As there are many proofs that Southampton was a place of importance in the earliest times of the Saxons, it must have been a considerable British town before the Romans left this Island, and was perhaps a British town before they attempted its conquest.

The Department of Curriculum and Instruction's goal is to ensure access to a guaranteed and viable curriculum in order to promote lifelong learners. To ensure that every child is provided this guarantee, SFDRCISD and the Department of Curriculum and Instruction have implemented a district led reform -- The Planning Protocol.
The Planning Protocol (starting with the end in mind) is a research-based approach to plan for and deliver authentic instruction. Because we believe that good teaching does not happen by chance, but through a well thought-out plan, the planning is at the forefront of every lesson developed and delivered. The Planning Protocol allows opportunities for conversations, study of data (DMAC) and the development of planning tools for instructional delivery that is consistent across our seven elementary campuses and on through our secondary campuses. The main goal is to produce kids that are college and career ready.
To support and promote the use of research-based best practices, SFDRCISD teachers have been provided a daily common planning time. Led by instructional coaches and campus instructional leaders, teacher use a common lesson-planning tool to begin the collaboration amongst the teachers for developing engaging and rigorous lessons that address the needs of all learners.
SFDRCISD utilizes the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) as the standards that drive instruction. The TEKS Resource System (TRS) is the resource that teachers are required to use for the core content areas (English, Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies) that includes TEKS Verification Documents, the Instructional Focus Documents (IFD), Year-at-a-Glance (YAG) and Verical Alignment Documents (VAD).

To their owners, pets are a source of companionship, comfort and love. They become a part of the family. Some are house pets and some live outside. When deciding to get a house pet, cleanliness should definitely be considered.
Someone is going to be responsible for keeping the pet and its area clean and so finding out what pets are the cleanest is one step in making a choice.
Not many people would argue with the fact that cat's are clean. They are constantly bathing themselves and they use a litter box for their bodily functions. Unless the cat refuses to be trained to a litter box, they are very clean pets.
The downside to cats is hairballs and shedding. Hairballs are accumulations of hair that builds up due to the constant bathing a cat does. Eventually the cat will regurgitate them, not a pretty site and quite gross to clean up. Shedding isn't gross, just a nuisance because it gets on clothing, furniture and helps create dust bunnies.
Another factor that plays against the cat is their curiosity. Cats are notoriously nosey and their ability to jump combined with their curiosity is a mess waiting to happen. Glasses knocked off counters and fish bowls turned over are some examples.
Dogs are messier than cats, that's a given. They are somewhat harder to train and have to be taken outside often. This means that if left alone there will be the possibility of accidents happening in the house.
Dogs have to be bathed and groomed; they aren't able to groom themselves. If not bathed, they can develop odor which is not good for the house. Dogs also shed; even those that are labeled non-shedding will lose some hair.
Birds aren't that messy in and of themselves. However, they do have to have their cages cleaned and some birds will spit their sunflower seed shells out of the cage and onto the floor. They are a fairly good choice for someone looking for a pet with minor upkeep. Clean water and food and a cage cleaning on occasion.
Hamsters are cute but they do make a mess in their cages. Being nesters, they move things around all over the cage. They aren't particular about where they relieve themselves and so the entire cage tends to smell if no cleaned often. They don't require a lot of attention but their cage does, at least on a weekly basis.
The cleanest pet for the home is probably the most unlikely choice for the majority of people. While there are many people who have them, snakes, such as ball pythons are not a favorite pet for most people. In fact, many people won't go near them. However, they require little attention, don't shed hair and the minute amount of body waste they have is simple to clean up.
Along with the ball python, the Beta fish would be the other cleanest pet for the home. These fish do not require aquariums with filters so there is little cleaning involved. All they need is a bowl of water that is changed occasionally and some food dropped in daily.
The cleanest pets are not the pets most people are going to choose, but they do exist. Pets are like most everything else, the more they require the more they give back. No one can argue that having a puppy cuddle up beside them is anywhere near having a Beta fish swimming beside them in a bowl.

John Whitcomb: July 15, 2019
With host Wayne Shepherd, we welcome you to this week's edition of "Encounter God's Truth" from Whitcomb Ministries. We are currently in Volume One of a series called "Acts: Witness of the Early Church," which was recorded live at Middletown Bible Church in Middletown, Connecticut. On this broadcast, Dr. Whitcomb begins to explain the significance of the very first message given during the age of the church—"The Pentecostal Sermon"—when the Apostle Peter spoke to the great crowd gathered in Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost. As we go through Acts 2, we will consider the difficult issues involved in this passage, which is so often misunderstood. As we do, the basic clarity of Peter's preaching will be evident—even as it was to the thousands of people who were there convicted of their need to believe in Christ. This message will inform and challenge you, and we trust that it will also motivate you to consider the many strategic opportunities that we have to serve the Lord in these "end times."God's Word is true from the beginning to the end! Thanks for listening to it this week on "Encounter God's Truth."

Andy Headworth raises this excellent point in his blog, questioning why clients seem to always want to hire candidates with more skills than are necessarily realistic.
We've all had it happen to us - the client wants someone with 5 years experience for an entry-level role, or they want someone with 10 years experience in an industry that's only been around for 5 years.
As a recruiter, we have a responsibility to question our clients when they ask for something unrealistic or impossible. If we don't, then their expectations will never be met - how can we find someone who doesn't exist?

Vertex Pest Control is pleased to offer the finest Green pest control products available today. Vertex takes pride in its Green line of products, which can match the environmental concerns of the public.
It's a catch phrase we hear all the time but what does it really mean to be green or using green pest control products? Vertex has long embraced more natural, safer, organic pest control solutions because we understand the potential risks associated with the pesticides used by other companies.
Let's look at the normal pesticide cycle. Pesticides are sprayed to kill the pests in your home, work or garden. These pesticides don't just affect bugs; they are released into the environment, the same environment that we share with our children, pets and plant life. Pesticide toxins are designed to kill their target, but unfortunately, the side effect is the very real potential that they can at the very least make us sick and in the worst case lead to the death of our pets, plants or families.
While placing our environment at risk toxins present another insidious danger. These deadly toxins will kill some bugs, but it won't kill them all In fact, what we will be left with are the strongest bugs. They will continue to breed, producing even stronger offspring. This will ultimately lead to the creation of a super pest and a much tougher enemy to contend with. In addition to this, pesticides help to destroy their natural predators and other helpful organisms that would normally assist with the elimination of unwanted bugs. This leads to yet further cause decay of our environment.
At Vertex Pest Control we were thinking about using safe, environmentally friendly products well ahead of everyone else. For over fifteen years our focus has been on utilizing the best organic products designed to help you eliminate the little pests in your life. Our focus is on nontoxic repellants made from biodegradable, organic ingredients.
Vertex Pest Control has carefully constructed an organic pest solution that safely alters the pest cycle. We introduce environmentally friendly, nontoxic, organic products that target your existing pests, eliminating them safely without harming your family, pets and plants. Also, and this is very important to the organic cycle, our organic products allow the good bugs, those that naturally eliminate the pests to continue to flourish leaving nature's entire healthy cycle intact.
It is important to understand what is going on in your home or office once you quit using toxins to fight your pest problem. You might notice that some bugs may return back to your home or garden. This is normal as your environment works to regain its natural balance. However, after a season or two, you will note the healthy balance of nature has returned as a diverse community of 'good' insects thrives. Vertex Pest Control will help you achieve this goal and maintain it by utilizing the best, pesticide alternatives that focus on biological control with organic, toxinfree repellants.

È noto principalmente per il ruolo di Sam Winchester nella serie televisiva Supernatural e di Dean Forester in Una mamma per amica.

Biografia

Primi anni
Jared Padalecki è nato il 19 luglio a San Antonio, Texas, da Jerry e Sherri Padalecki. Suo padre ha origini polacche, mentre sua madre ha origini tedesche, scozzesi, francesi e inglesi.

Formazione scolastica
Era un candidato nel 2000 per il Presidential Scholars Program. Nel 1998, Padalecki e il suo partner Chris Cardenas hanno vinto il campionato nazionale della National Forensic League in Duo Interpretation. Sebbene avesse inizialmente pianificato di frequentare l'Università del Texas dopo essersi diplomato al liceo nel 2000, Jared decise invece di trasferirsi nella Contea di Los Angeles, in California, per intraprendere la carriera di attore.

Carriera

Nel 1999 Padalecki vinse il "Claim to Fame Contest" della Fox Broadcasting e successivamente è apparso ai Teen Choice Awards, dove ha incontrato un agente. Il suo primo ruolo come attore è stato un ruolo secondario nel film del 1999 Me and Dad. Nel 2000, è stato scelto per interpretare Dean Forester nella serie televisiva Una mamma per amica, ruolo che ha recitato fino al 2005. Durante i primi anni 2000, è apparso in diversi film per la televisione, tra cui Silent Witness e il Disney Channel Original Movie Vicky e i delfini.

Nel 2003, Padalecki ha interpretato non accreditato il ruolo del bullo delle superiori nella commedia Una scatenata dozzina. Accettò il ruolo dopo che gli era stato chiesto dall'amico e collega attore Tom Welling, che nel film interpretava Charlie Baker, e dal regista del film, che voleva qualcuno più grande di Charlie che se la prendesse con lui. Padalecki originariamente fece il provino per il ruolo di Welling, ma lasciò perdere per recitare in  Young MacGyver, episodio pilota di una serie mai realizzata.

Nel 2004 è apparso nella commedia di Mary-Kate e Ashley Olsen Una pazza giornata a New York nel ruolo di Trey Lipton, un ragazzo carino da cui sono attratti i personaggi interpretati dalle gemelle Olsens. Ha anche ottenuto un breve ruolo nel thriller Il volo della fenice al fianco di Dennis Quaid e Hugh Laurie. Nel 2005 Padalecki ha recitato al fianco di Elisha Cuthbert, Chad Michael Murray e Paris Hilton in La maschera di cera nel ruolo di Wade. Nel 2005 è apparso in Nickname: Enigmista, un altro film horror, nel ruolo di Tom.

In quello stesso anno, Padalecki è stato scelto per interpretare il ruolo di Sam Winchester nella serie televisiva della WB Supernatural. Sam e suo fratello Dean (Jensen Ackles) viaggiano per gli Stati Uniti a caccia di predatori paranormali, combattendo demoni e angeli e affrontando ogni sorta di creature apparse nelle opere di genere fantasy e di fantascienza. La serie è attualmente alla sua quindicesima ed ultima stagione sul CW e detiene il titolo della serie di fantascienza nordamericana più longeva della storia.

Nel 2007 Jared è stato l'ospite della serie horror reality di MTV, Room 401, che è stata interrotta dopo solo otto episodi a causa di valutazioni scarse.

Nel 2008 ha interpretato il ruolo di Thomas Kinkade nel film Christmas Cottage, al fianco di Peter O'Toole.

Ha anche avuto un ruolo principale nella versione del 2009 di Venerdì 13 nel ruolo di Clay Miller, un personaggio che si dirige a Camp Crystal Lake in cerca della sorella scomparsa.

Il 23 settembre 2019 è stato scelto per il ruolo di protagonista nella serie televisiva Walker, reboot di Walker Texas Ranger. Il reboot è stato ordinato in serie nel gennaio 2020.

Vita privata
Il fidanzamento di Padalecki con Genevieve Cortese venne annunciato nel gennaio 2010: i due si sono conosciuti quando l'attrice entrò nel cast di Supernatural nella quarta stagione nel ruolo del demone Ruby; Padalecki si dichiarò nell'ottobre 2009 davanti al loro quadro preferito, Giovanna d'Arco di Jules Bastien-Lepage, al Metropolitan Museum of Art di New York. La coppia si è sposata il 27 febbraio 2010 nella città natale della Cortese, Sun Valley, e il 10 ottobre 2011 ha annunciato di essere in attesa del loro primo figlio. Il loro primogenito, Thomas Colton Padalecki, è nato il 19 marzo 2012 mentre il 22 luglio 2013 viene annunciata la seconda gravidanza della Cortese, che il 22 dicembre 2013 dà alla luce Austin Shepherd "Shep" Padalecki. Il 17 marzo 2017 è nata la loro terza figlia, Odette Elliott Padalecki. La coppia risiede ad Austin.

Padalecki e i suoi colleghi di Supernatural Jensen Ackles e Misha Collins hanno supportato Beto O'Rourke per le elezioni del Senato del 2018 in Texas.

Padalecki è il proprietario di Stereotype, un bar a tema anni '90 ad Austin, aperto nel 2018; il 27 ottobre 2019 è stato arrestato con l'accusa di aggressione e ubriachezza pubblica a seguito di un alterco al bar.

Always Keep Fighting
Nel marzo 2015 Padalecki ha lanciato la campagna Always Keep Fighting attraverso il sito Represent.com. La sua prima campagna ha raccolto fondi per To Write Love On Her Arms, che sostiene le persone che lottano contro la depressione, la dipendenza, l'autolesionismo e il suicidio. La causa è particolarmente vicina a Padalecki, che ha parlato apertamente più volte della sua lotta con la depressione. Per la seconda campagna della serie Always Keep Fighting dell'aprile 2015, Padalecki ha collaborato con il collega Jensen Ackles per creare una maglietta con i loro volti a beneficio del nuovo fondo di beneficenza comune; ne sono state vendute oltre 70.000. Più recentemente, Padalecki ha lanciato una terza campagna vendendo altre 40.000 camicie.

Durante il San Diego Comic-Con 2015, oltre 6.000 fan hanno sorpreso Padalecki al pannello Supernatural alzando candele per lui, dopo la rivelazione della sua battaglia contro la depressione all'inizio dell'anno.

Brian Flores Would Change the Culture Of the Vikings' Defense
Photo Credit: Sam Navarro-USA TODAY Sports
By Tyler Ireland - January 25, 2023
The Minnesota Vikings are casting a wide net as they search for their next defensive coordinator. New Orleans Saints co-defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen and Seattle Seahawks associate head coach Sean Desai are among the people they've interviewed. But Pittsburgh Steelers linebackers coach and former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores is the most prominent name.
While Nielsen and Desai have been rising through the coaching ranks for a few years now, Flores brings a pedigree that cannot be matched. Miami's defense ranked 29th in total yards allowed after they fired Adam Gase in 2018. Two years later, the Dolphins' defense became a top-10 unit with Flores at the helm.
In 2020, the Dolphins' defense ranked:
First in takeaways
Fourth in opponent scoring percentage
Eighth in net yards gained per pass attempt
Tied for ninth in sacks
More importantly, though, Flores would change the culture like Mike Zimmer did when the Vikings hired him. Flores is an authoritarian figure who commands respect and is brutally honest with his players and the media. That singular personality trait is simultaneously why he was hired and fired in Miami.
Everywhere Flores goes, guys in the locker room rave about how much they love playing for him. Flores' first season as head coach in Miami, former Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake said, "[Flores] just kind of has this air about him where people are already ready to run through a wall for him."
It didn't take long for Flores to make an impression within the Steelers organization, either. Several players in the linebacker room, including free agent acquisition Myles Jack, had nothing but positive things to say about the impact Brian Flores brought to the team.
"He's a great coach," Myles Jack said at the time of his signing. "I saw what he did last year in Miami, how he turned that whole thing around. I think it was amazing what he did.
"Obviously, he's a head coach, so his perspective, his approach to things is going to be more clear-cut. More, 'This is what it is, this is what it's not.' I enjoy that because I know exactly what I'm doing and I can play fast. It's been great."
Even with Flores' impending lawsuit against the Dolphins, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin went out of his way to add Flores to his coaching staff. It's a testament to Flores' character and coaching ability, and his presence has benefited Tomlin in many ways.
"I love sharpening my sword on his and gaining a perspective that his experiences provide, that wise counsel," said Tomlin. "We talk about a myriad of things. Whether it's calendar, whether it's taking care of players, whether it's the acquisition or evaluation of talent, it's been fun to have him. His contributions are going to be significant."
Yet, for all the positive things his former players and colleagues have said about him, Flores was still fired from the Dolphins after only three seasons. Regardless if it was the right decision, there were still very legitimate reasons why he was relieved from his duties in Miami.
The Dolphins hired and subsequently fired Flores for the same reason. In 2019, Miami wanted a coach who was effective at holding players accountable. They got exactly what they were looking for with Flores. While creating a culture based upon toughness and grit was his strong suit, tactful communication and positive reinforcement were not things he's exactly known for.
When his relationship with general manager Chris Grier and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa soured beyond the point of no return, the Dolphins had no choice but to cut ties with Flores. That does not mean Brian Flores was a bad head coach. However, it became evident that he was no longer the right coach for Miami, who needed someone to develop their young quarterback.
But Flores wouldn't face any of the problems he had with Miami in Minnesota. Not only that, he would be a perfect fit for the Vikings. Kevin O'Connell is an offensive-minded player's coach who excels at creating an environment where players want to show up to work every day. O'Connell's biggest strengths as a leader are tactfully communicating with players and using positive reinforcement to encourage player development.
O'Connell's strengths cover up Flores' weaknesses, but Flores' strengths also cover up O'Connell's weaknesses. O'Connell tends to be too nice at times, which can make it difficult for the team to play with an edge. O'Connell is an offensive-minded head coach, and we saw the defense lose its identity. And he isn't able to re-establish that grit and toughness on the defensive side of the ball without directly contradicting his style of coaching that helped the Vikings win 13 games.
Flores would give the defense a distinct identity. He's someone who can create a culture built upon toughness, discipline, and willpower, something they've lacked in the last couple of years.
The great thing about the #Vikings potentially hiring Brian Flores, is how well he'd complement Kevin O'Connell.
KOC gets to be the happy-go-lucky players coach, while Flores can be the tough, no-nonsense coach who gets shit done.
The old "Good cop, bad cop" routine. #skol pic.twitter.com/j1hjKyw9hO
— Tyler Ireland (@TylerIrelandNFL) January 21, 2023
If Kevin O'Connell is the Vikings' "good cop," then this team needs a "bad cop." Someone who tells it like it is and gets things done. Brian Flores would fill that role perfectly, providing Minnesota with two different but complementary leadership styles on the coaching staff. Which is why he's the perfect man for the job.

Friedrich Max Uhle (25 March 1856 – 11 May 1944) was a German archaeologist, whose work in Peru, Chile, Ecuador and Bolivia at the turn of the Twentieth Century had a significant impact on the practice of archaeology of South America.

Biography
Uhle was born in Dresden, Germany on 25 March 1856 and received his Ph.D. in 1880 from the University of Leipzig. He married Charlotte Grosse from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he worked at the University of Pennsylvania for several years.

Trained as a philologist, Uhle became interested in Peru while a curator at Dresden Museum. In 1888, a close friend, Alphons Stübel, who had recently published an article on the history of Peruvian archaeology, suggested Uhle concentrate his studies on that region. He first traveled to South America in 1892 to initiate research in Argentina and Bolivia for the Konigliches Museum fur Völkerkunde in Berlin, Germany. In that same year he published "The Ruins of Tiahuanaco in the Highlands of Ancient Peru," with photographer and engineer B. von Grumbkow. This extensive work is considered the first in depth scientific account of the ancient site of Tiwanaku, Bolivia.

Uhle returned to South America in 1896, now sponsored by the American Exploration Society in Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. He also enjoyed the patronage of Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, the mother of William Randolph Hearst. He undertook excavations at Pachacamac, near the coast of Peru, and on Mochica and Chimu sites. His site report of work at Pachacamac was highly praised and is still used as a basic text for studying South American archaeology. He recognized versions of Tiwanaku stone sculpture imagery on ceramics, textiles, and other artifacts in these coastal sites. On this trip, he recovered approximately 9,000 artifacts spanning over 3,000 years of Andean pre-history. These included Nazca pottery, shells, textiles, metals, objects made of wood and other plant material, and objects constructed of animal materials such as feathers, bone, and leather. He concentrated on the dating of these artifacts, and established a system primarily based on textile design. Artifacts found in the Mocha Valley were dated based on the sequential position of Inca ceramic styles. This early dating was later advanced by American archaeologist Alfred Kroeber and is one of the key points in understanding the chronology of pre-Inca Peru. Uhle later worked in the highlands of Bolivia, Ecuador, and Chile. In 1917 he was the first to scientifically describe the Chinchorro mummies.

Max Ulhe also participated in numerous paleontological excavations. In 1926, Max Uhle and paleontologist, Franz Spillmann, excavated, about 12 km east of Quito, Ecuador, an almost complete mastodon skeleton, together with associated obsidian and bone tools and about 150 potsherds.

Uhle also made a notable contribution to North American archaeology in excavations of the Emeryville shell-mound in San Francisco Bay, California. The German-Peruvian Max Uhle School in Arequipa, Peru was named after him.

Tour the history of Home Performance with hosts Grace and Corbett by pitting today's homeowner expectations against the earliest days of America. Using the TinyLab, the world's highest performing tiny house on wheels that Corbett and Grace built, they compare it against the Wyckoff House, New York's oldest surviving structure dating back to the Dutch colonies in the 1600s, also originally self-built as a one-room family homestead. After generations of additions can the past ever measure up to modern performance standards?


A mandala is a diagram of geometric patterns. Each Buddha has his or her own particular mandala. A Mandala can be seen as the 'world of existence' or celestial residence in which the meditational deity resides.
Mandala is a Sanskrit word. Dkyil-khor is the Tibetan word for it, and literally means that which encircles a centre.
Each aspect of a constructed mandala has a deep symbolism and meaning, which you will learn when taking Tibetan Art class with Carmen Mensink, renowned painter and teacher of Tibetan Buddhist Art. The doorways on all four directions for example represent the Four Immeasurables of compassion, love, equanimity and joy.
To protect the mandala from negative conditions and energies, it is surrounded different circles, such as a vajra fence and a fire wall, and sometimes a ring of eight charnel grounds (representing the Buddhist philosophy to be always mindful of death; to be aware of impermanence). Inside these outer rings we can find the walls of the mandala palace itself.
In the video below, this question is answered by Jeff Durham, Associate Curator of Himalayan Art at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, at the entrance to the exhibition Enter the Mandala.
Want to create a Mandala for yourself?
Drawing or painting a Buddhist mandala creates a lot of peace and joy. It is regarded as a meditation and can bring you in contact with your mind, your 'inner universe'. You don't need to have drawing or painting experience to do it. Carmen Mensink, renowned painter and teacher of Tibetan Buddhist Art, offers Mandala Drawing and Painting Classes all over the world, in groups as well as for individuals.

Komi Can't Communicate Release Date, Cast And Plot - What We Know So Far
By Jonah Schuhart/May 13, 2021 12:26 pm EST
"Komi Can't Communicate" is a popular Japanese manga series written by Tomohito Oda and published in 2016. The series follows Komi Shouko, a beautiful high school student who is viewed as stunningly refined and conclusively "out of everyone's league" by the general student population. However, Komi's golden reputation is actually a misinterpretation, as her reserved and polite mannerisms are actually the result of her inability to socialize in the slightest. Secretly, Komi is embarrassed by others and desires nothing more than to build friendships with those around her.
Since its debut, "Komi Can't Communicate" has become an extremely popular series, both in Japan and the West. In 2020, it won AnimeJapan's "Most Wanted Anime Adaptation" poll, cementing itself as one of the most highly-regarded mangas of the past decade (via AnimeNewsNetwork).
Now, much to the doubtless joy of manga readers, Komi is finally being brought to the small screen. Japanese animation studio OLM recently announced that they will be adapting the popular manga into its own anime series (via Polygon). Here's what we know so far.
When will Komi Can't Communicate release?
While the majority of the teaser posted by SHOPRO on YouTube for "Komi Can't Communicate" is in Japanese, the upcoming anime's release date can be understood by almost anyone. Thankfully, Arabic numerals are common across the globe, meaning that anyone with basic math skills can see that "Komi Can't Communicate" is slated for release in October 2021. Unfortunately, the teaser neglects to share the specific date for when the anime will release, meaning expectant fans should keep an ear to the ground as we get closer to October this year.
An important factor to consider is that this is just the Japanese release date. While western fans will more than likely see a subbed (and possibly a dubbed) version of "Komi Can't Communicate" somewhere down the line, it is unknown how quickly this will be released. Depending on who is broadcasting the show, subtitled versions of Japanese anime are often released soon after the original versions. Oftentimes, both versions can get released on the same day. It all depends on how OLM plans to go about releasing "Komi" internationally.
Who will be in the Komi Can't Communicate cast?
The official website for "Komi Can't Communicate" reveals three major characters, along with their voice actors, who viewers will come to know as the show progresses. The first is the eponymous Komi Shouko, who will be portrayed by actress Koga Aoi (known for her work in "Kaguya-Sama: Love is War").
Aoi will be joined by fellow Japanese voice actors Kajiware Gakuto and Rie Murakawa. The former will be portraying Hitohito Tadano, Komi's first friend and the first person to deduce that she has social anxiety. The latter will be portraying Najimi Osana, an extremely sociable non-gender conforming student who, like Tadano, realizes that Komi finds communication difficult and pledges to help fix this problem (via Komi-San Wiki).
This only scratches the surface of the characters and cast expected to appear in the upcoming "Komi Can't Communicate" anime. Komi has many classmates, and the show's focus on socialization and communication likely means that viewers will come to meet many characters as it progresses. However, these future roles and their associated voice actors have yet to be revealed.
What will be the plot of Komi Can't Communicate?
More likely than not, "Komi Can't Communicate" will be a rather faithful adaptation of its source material, focusing on Komi's social development as she strives towards her goal of making 100 authentic friends. As a "slice of life" anime, the show will likely forgo the action-oriented narratives that define other popular anime (such as "Dragon Ball" or "Naruto"), instead depicting the lives and struggles of its characters in a mundane setting.
Still, Komi's long term goal establishes that the show will have a sense of progression and conflict, as Komi works to break through her social barriers. How she and her allies accomplish this task will no doubt act as the show's meat and potatoes.
However, it's unclear how far into the manga the series will take its adaptation. Komi will be miles away from her goal of making 100 friends, and it's doubtful that she would ever attain this benchmark in the time it takes for the anime to complete its debut season. Manga readers might already be leagues ahead of where the anime will conclude. Even so, newcomers to the series will get a kick out of witnessing Komi and her friends do their best to cure her social anxieties.

Rachel Bloom Just Dished Out the Most Delightfully Honest Talk About Red Carpet Fashion
By Theresa Avila
Rachel Bloom's speech at the 2016 Golden Globe Awards made her a solid candidate for Hollywood's sweetheart this awards season. Watching her climb on stage, hoist her trophy and deliver the most endearing acceptance speech (see that here) made it feel like our best friend just happened to win a Globe for best actress in a TV comedy.
But turns out the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend actress would have already won us over if we'd heard her speak before the show. At the British Academy of Film and Television Arts' pre-Globes tea on Saturday afternoon, Bloom opened up to Elle.com about her challenges with getting dressed for Hollywood.
"Fashion has always been a source of stress for me, because I don't know how to dress myself," Bloom said. "I'm short-torsoed with big boobs, and I don't really understand what a belt does. But you get on these shows and people fit the clothing to you and suddenly you learn, 'Oh, I should be wearing petite jackets!'"
It's not just deciding what dress to wear, though — what a celebrity wears underneath is just as crucial.
"Here's the thing: I'm wearing a corset and two pairs of Spanx over it under my dress... Because the Spanx cover up the lumps of the corset. That's what busty girls have to do! I basically look like a pirate wench in my undergarments."
Bloom isn't the first celebrity to admit that she loves Spanx. Kim Kardashian West has also admitted to wearing two pairs sometimes, and smoothing shapewear regularly makes the list of celebrity styling tricks. (Octavia Spencer might be the most hardcore, having admitted to triple-Spanxing.)
Needing to go to those lengths is something more and more stars are getting honest about, from donning Spanx to having to seek out their own dresses. "My dress was designed for me, which was so amazing," Bloom added to Elle.com. "Curvier ladies can't just throw on the runway look. It just isn't made for boobies and butts and stuff like that."
Bryce Dallas Howard echoed that point on the red carpet on Sunday night, in a moment that had female viewers pumping their fists. Explaining to E!'s Giuliana Rancic why she bought her own dress (as opposed to borrowing from a designer via a stylist), Howard said, "I like having lots of options for a size 6, as opposed to maybe one option... I always go to department stores for this kind of stuff."
To which we bet Bloom would have said:
