John Kerry Jets to Cairo for Gaza Talks
Travelling the World... on a Camel
Clooney: I'm 'Marrying Up' with Beirut Beauty
John Kerry arrives in Cairo to meet with top officials in a bid to resolve the ongoing crisis in Gaza.
US Secretary of State John Kerry touched down in Cairo this morning, ahead of crisis talks aimed at bringing an end to the ongoing Gaza conflict.
Kerry is expected to meet with Egyptian government top brass in an effort to solve the crisis, which has cost the lives of over 400 Palestinians in just two weeks.
US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said, "The United States – and our international partners– are deeply concerned about the risk of further escalation, and the loss of more innocent life."
"We believe there should be a ceasefire as soon as possible – one that restores the ceasefire reached in November of 2012."
The statement added that Kerry "is working to support Egypt's initiative to pursue that outcome, and will travel to the region as part of those efforts."
The efforts are unlikely to win favour with many Palestinians who are calling for improved conditions and an end to the blockade currently crippling the besieged Gaza Strip.
The move follows an earlier ceasefire proposal and ongoing efforts by the Qatari and Turkish governments.

My friend Patricia originally told me about the Phil & Ted's Me Too chair and it has become one of our favourite pieces of travel gear. It is light weight (2 lbs) and folds up very compact - about 12' x 14' x 1.5", so it fits in all our suitcases, and when we aren't traveling, we keep it in the car at all times. We find it works best in restaurant booths and is particularly handy for picnic tables. It's a great alternative to dodgy restaurant high chairs, and allows the child to join in right at the table.

A District of Columbia federal judge has scuttled key aspects of the U.S. Labor Department's revised rule that was designed to extend the FLSA's minimum-wage and overtime requirements to many previously-exempt home care workers starting January 1, 2015.
A federal district judge has held that the U.S. Labor Department exceeded its authority by attempting to preclude third-party employers from invoking the FLSA's Section 13(a)(15) "companionship" exemption and its Section 13(b)(21) overtime exemption for "live-in domestics".

Solution: …we created the new servers, migrated all of the employees' email accounts, and put our client back on the computing grid in their new digs quickly enough to minimize downtime. And we did it by the next day, Friday afternoon. It doesn't get any faster than that.
Case Study #2: Macserv's Virtual IT Executive to the Rescue!
Problem: We understand the anguish of wondering whether an in-house IT person is doing right by your company. The owners of a PR agency in Pennsylvania no longer trusted their IT employee for several reasons. One, his recommendations indicated a lack of concern regarding budget. Two, in lieu of a remote backup system, he intermittently saved the company's data to a hard drive and stored it in a safety deposit box at a local bank—when he had the time. Three, the IT person and the CFO didn't agree on suggested hardware and software purchases.
Solution: We met with the company's owners to discuss IT support-and-development options. But first we helped them overcome their fear that the lack of a "warm IT body" on the premises would delay resolving technology issues in real time. Macserv prepared a custom Managed Services package that included a new server, network, and replacement of obsolete, under-producing computers.
Our client's employees now work more efficiently and effectively. The company has access to Macserv's team of IT experts (instead of one person) regarding technical questions and strategic recommendations. Even better, this client's "virtual IT" budget is on par with the IT tech's salary (minus the costly health benefits). The company's data is now backed up, both on-site and off-site. When the owners want physical face time, Macserv IT visits them. When they have a quick question, Macserv's Virtual IT service is real, and really convenient!
Problem: A slow Internet connection at work is the biggest drag of all. Not only did this client's employees equate uploading large PDF files to using an AOL dial-up modem, their sales executives were desperate for reliable remote access on the road.
We assured the company's owners a custom Managed Services package would improve Internet speed and provide their traveling "spice warriors" with all the technology necessary for successful sales presentations.
Solution: Macserv's Managed Services plan did much more than boost this client's Internet speed and increase their sales staff's productivity. After we enabled a cloud-managed firewall as part of the server configuration, the first weekly usage report revealed an isolated case of serious Internet misuse. An employee was spending huge chunks of the workday streaming (non-spice related) movies via our client's Wi-Fi—four to seven hours, DAILY.

Milk bread, where have you been all my life? Found primarily in Asian bakeries, this Japanese style of bread (also called Hokkaido) makes a supple, sweet, heavenly loaf with nary a sprout or seed or whole grain in sight. Perfect for toast, sandwiches or simply nibbling from the bag, fresh loaves are baked daily at the recently-opened pan-Asian Bakery, East Wind (3851 Sebastopol Rd., Santa Rosa) flecked with bits of Earl Grey tea, herbs or cinnamon (as well as plain) for about $5 each.
But that's just the start of your inevitable caloric overload.
This beautiful little bakery owned by partners Doug Quick and Tony Tam also features homemade bbq pork curried beef, red bean and taro bao (baked); kimchee and Chinese sausage-stuffed croissants (along with bacon chocolate and plain); Chinese sponge cake, garam-masala-spiced sweet buns, Massaman beef and Thai chicken pot pies, pork banh mi and, well, you get the idea.

Go with a sense of adventure and a hungry belly, and don't miss out on the Sea Foam coffee (made with a sweet-salty whipped cream, Asian spices, and coffee) or boba tea. I'd be remiss to leave out that they've also got plenty of Western sweets (cupcakes, lemon tarts, etc) that are equally delicious, though less exotic.

Q: Jetty/Tomcat without reverse proxy Is it safe to handle requests directly by Jetty or Tomcat?
Or only reverse proxy (such as nginx) can prevent abuses (slow data transferring on purpose etc)?
PS: ofcouse I serve static content with nginx =)

A: yes, jetty or tomcat are both safe to expose to the world at large, the days of being required  to deploy apache in front of them disappeared years ago.
that being said you still need to design your application and configure any container well to handle scale, prevent abuse, etc.
jetty is used in many places, in production situations, serving massive volumes of requests without issue and with a light footprint
heck, jetty even runs well on android phones

Richie Furay (born in Yellow Springs, Ohio) is an American singer, songwriter, and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member who is best known for forming the bands Buffalo Springfield with Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Bruce Palmer, and Dewey Martin, and Poco with Jim Messina, Rusty Young, George Grantham, and Randy Meisner. His best-known song (originally written during his tenure in Buffalo Springfield, but eventually performed by Poco, as well) was "Kind Woman", which he wrote for his wife, Nancy.
Before Buffalo Springfield, Furay performed with Stills in the nine-member group, the Au Go Go Singers (Roy Michaels, Rick Geiger, Jean Gurney, Michael Scott, Kathy King, Nels Gustafson, Bob Harmelink, and Furay & Stills), the house band for the famous Cafe Au Go Go in New York.
In the late 1960s, he formed the country-rock band Poco with Jim Messina and Rusty Young. This band, while influential to many future country-rock acts, experienced uneven commercial success. Furay's best-known songs, "Pickin' Up The Pieces" and "Good Feelin' To Know", however, have reached classic status and appear on many country-rock compilations. Furay left Poco in 1974 to form the Souther Hillman Furay Band. It was during this time that Al Perkins, the band's pedal steel guitar player, introduced Furay to Christianity. His newfound faith helped him rebuild his troubled marriage.
Although Souther, Hillman, Furay's self-titled first album was certified Gold and yielded the top thirty hit with "Fallin' in Love" in 1974, the group could not follow up on that success, and poor record sales eventually led to its demise.
After moving from Los Angeles to Sugarloaf Mountain near Boulder, Colorado, Furay formed The Richie Furay Band with Jay Truax, John Mehler, and Tom Stipe, releasing the album I've Got a Reason in 1976, which reflected Furay's newfound beliefs. To support the release of this album Furay formed an alliance with David Geffen and Asylum Records. Furay assured Geffen that his album would be Christian influenced but would not be an attempt to preach his newfound beliefs. I've Got a Reason did, however, establish Furay as a pioneer in Christian Rock. The title track of his third album, the secular "I Still Have Dreams", became a mild radio hit in 1979.
Overall, his albums charted unsatisfactorily, and, compounded with the strain of touring wearing on him and his family, he hung up his rock and roll shoes in favor of a call to the ministry. In 1983 Furay became the senior pastor of the Calvary Chapel in Broomfield, Colorado, a non-sectarian Christian church in the Denver area. He continues to perform as a solo artist, and very occasionally with Poco. He toured as an opening act for America and Linda Ronstadt during the Summer of 2006. The 2006 release of his latest CD The Heartbeat of Love returns Furay to his early country-rock roots with a contemporary flair.
In 2007 he toured with a new formation of the Richie Furay Band. At the Boulder and Bluebird Theatres in Colorado, they recorded a double live CD ALIVE. The ALIVE set covers 29 songs of Furay's career. The Richie Furay band continued to tour through 2008 and 2009. Furay appeared with Poco for several shows in early 2009. At the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California in the Spring of 2009, Furay and the current Poco lineup were joined onstage by original members Jimmy Messina and George Grantham and former bass player Timothy B. Schmit reuniting the Poco lineup that achieved the most critical acclaim.
On October 23, 2010, he reunited with surviving Buffalo Springfield bandmates Stephen Stills and Neil Young for a set at the 24th annual Bridge School Benefit at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California.
Richie is currently performing with The Richie Furay Band and has regrouped with Buffalo Springfield for a 2011 tour. He headlined the 2011 Bonnaroo with Buffalo Springfield. In July 2011, Furay announced on his facebook page that he will be touring with Buffalo Springfield in early 2012, ending speculation there would be a 2011 fall tour with Buffalo Springfield.
Richie Furay. (2011, August 14). In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Retrieved 12:39, August 19, 2011, from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Richie_Furay&oldid=444879643
Where are they Now:
While Richie Furray still performs with both his Poco and Buffalo Springfield bandmates, his "day job" is as senior pastor of the Calvary Chapel in Broomfield Colorado.
On the church web page he states, "I've been pastoring at Calvary Chapel since 1983 when we began as a home Bible Study outreach ministry of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, CA founded in 1965 by Pastor Chuck Smith, host and teacher of The Word For Today radio ministry. We moved here [Broomfield, CO] from Boulder in November of 2002 and have settled in the lower building of the Miramonte Lodge property."

Hi, my name is Paul and I was born in 1958, way back before colour was invented and the world was in black & white. I grew up in Ilford, Essex in the UK, close to London, and now live in a peaceful little town close to Chelmsford, Essex.
I've taken early retirement a couple of years ago, to help my wife with the care of our disabled son, and my primary hobbies are writing and painting oils on canvas.
The Little Sentinel of the Sierra Nevada is my first published novel although, like many of us, I've probably written a thousand more in my head.
My debut novel, The Little Sentinel of the Sierra Nevada, was published in Feb. 2015.
Since early childhood I've had a great fascination for the American West, a passion ignited from watching too many John Wayne movies. I've written in many genres and styles, but this era in History has always inspired me most, and it was inevitable I should choose it for my first published novel. Having said that, I don't necessarily consider it a western. My interest is in the characters in my story, and how they interact under given circumstances. The American west is a geographical and historical setting, but the story could as easily be transposed to other eras.
I am a creature of habit, when it comes to writing. From beginning to end with this book, through each draft and edit, I sat in the same chair and listened to the same music through headphones. Once I've established a productive flow, then I tend to keep the same music going throughout any piece of work. For this book it was Pink Floyd on an endless loop.
Almost every book I've read has inspired me in some way. Despite my love of the American west I've read very few books in this genre, although True Grit is a beautifully written work. I recently reread To Kill A Mocking Bird, among many of the older gems I've been revisiting. Joseph Conrad has always been a favourite, and I often pull one of his back out from the bookcase. But if pushed to give an all-time favourite read, then it would have to be Joseph Heller's Catch 22. To me it's the perfect blend of heartbreaking tragedy and comedy.
I'm being extremely cautious in my research for my next novel. I know what I want to happen, or at least a good outline of the action and emotional consequences to my characters. I'm still sketching out a timeline, ensuring that my story fits the historical framework. This part took me about six months for my last book, and I can bog myself down in research when I love the topic so much.
Promotion is all new to me. I have my own FB page and have featured my book on countless FB sites for ebooks, with varying success. I offered my book free for 5 days through KDP, which gave me impressive results, but sales soon slowed afterwards. I'm just now branching out and feeling my feet with regards promotion.
People write endless books on advice to new writers, all very sound I'm sure, but in the end you have to knuckle down and WRITE. Some days it goes well, others not so well, but get those words down on the page. Commit your story.
I'm about to start East Jesus, Nevada, by Greg Townsley. Since writing my book I've only just realised what a wealth of westerns there are available, and this looked interesting so I thought I'd give it a go.
More of the same, hopefully.
Catch 22, definitely. Victory by Joseph Conrad. Voices of Wounded Knee, the one non-fiction I'd allow myself. I'll have to stop now or I'll just keep listing forever.

Arthroscopic surgery is an outpatient procedure that generally lasts between 30 minutes and two hours. Before the treatment commences, you will receive either a local anesthetic to numb the area or a general anesthesia causing you to be unconscious during the treatment.
After the area is numbed, a 1/4 of an inch incision will be made, and your doctor will insert the arthroscope. Sterile fluid is also injected into the site to expand the area surrounding the joint which makes it easier to spot injuries.
Two or more additional incisions may be made for the purpose of inserting surgeon's tools. None of these will be any larger than 1/4 of an inch. Once the procedure is completed, all cuts will be repaired with stitches.
Arthroscopy serves the dual function of diagnosing conditions that cannot be found by other methods, and then correcting them with a minimally invasive procedure. If you've been suffering from chronic pain, arthroscopy can be a safe and effective way to treat your condition. Please call (817) 731-2102 or contact Dr. Greg Gardner online.

Parathas make terrific toddler food since they can usually be enjoyed without parental supervision. Most babies will often hold onto a piece and nibble away while they're busy doing their own thing. They will enjoy this at meal times too with dal and raita.
Cover the dough with a lid and keep aside for 15 minutes.
Roll out a portion of the dough into a 100 mm. (4") diameter circle, using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
Bring together all the sides in the centre and seal tightly and roll out again into a circle of 100 mm. (4?) diameter, using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and cook the paratha, on a medium flame using ½ tsp of ghee, till golden brown spots appear on both the sides.
Repeat steps 3 to 6 to make 3 more parathas.


Ardmore County Waterford on Ireland's Ancient East.
As Ireland's oldest Christian site, Ardmore is ideally placed to take centre stage of Ireland's Ancient East.
And, Ardmore Waterford has so much to offer visitors.
In the A–Z of Ireland's Ancient East, it is not surprising that the first letter is given to Ardmore.
A is for Ardmore. The Round Tower in this Co. Waterford village, where St. Declan established his monastery, is the only monastery on Ireland's coast.
So what's Ireland's Ancient East all about?
Well, in April 2015, Fáilte Ireland introduced a new umbrella destination brand called Ireland's Ancient East.
It's a brand that offers visitors a compelling motivation to visit the East of Ireland. And, it reflects the rich and colourful history and diversity of the landscapes involved.
Ireland's Ancient East is also a wonderful opportunity for you to experience 5000 years of history.
Early Christian Ireland Sites – As such, it is therefore no wonder that Ardmore has so much to offer in this pillar category. Other sites along the Ancient East Trail that are worth visiting include Clonmacnoise, Glendalough, Mellifont Abbey, Jerpoint Abbey, St.Canice's Cathedral and Holycross Abbey.
Ancient Ireland – The Dawn of Civilisation, including the prehistoric attractions of the Boyne Valley in Newgrange and sites such as the Brownshill Dolmen in Carlow.
Medieval Ireland Sites such as Kilkenny's Medieval Mile, the Viking Quarter in Waterford, Hook Head Lighthouse, Trim Castle and the Rock of Cashel.
Anglo Ireland – This includes Ireland's Great Houses and Gardens as well as sites such as the Dunbrody Famine Ship and Wicklow Gaol.

Wikileaks Appears to Have Snippets of Clinton's Paid Speeches
To date, the former secretary of state has refused to release transcripts of paid speeches she made to banks and other businesses. Wikileaks might have just done that for her.
By Andrew McGill
Brian Snyder / Reuters
For months, Donald Trump has pushed Hillary Clinton to release the transcripts of her paid speeches, given to the likes of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley after she concluded her term as secretary of state. During the Democratic primary, Bernie Sanders demanded the same thing. Clinton, so far, has demurred.
She may no longer have a choice. In a voluminous data dump released by the hacker group Wikileaks, centered around emails from Clinton adviser John Podesta's private account, at least one email appears to detail statements made by Clinton during private speeches that could be of concern to the campaign. The excerpts were first noticed by BuzzFeed News.
The memo was prepared by "HWA"—presumably the Harry Walker Agency, which represented Clinton—and sent by Tony Carrk, the Clinton campaign's research director. Sent January 25, it breaks down more than 80 pages of Clinton quotes, categorizing them by topic and potential liability, including "Benghazi," "Wall Street" and, simply, "Awkward." In one speech, Clinton is quoted as saying that politicians need to have a "public" and "private" position on issues in order to get things done. From the 2013 speech made to the National Multi-Housing Council:
I mean, politics is like sausage being made. It is unsavory, and it always has been that way, but we usually end up where we need to be. But if everybody's watching, you know, all of the back room discussions and the deals, you know, then people get a little nervous, to say the least. So, you need both a public and a private position.
On another occasion, she expressed her desire to build a "hemispheric common market," with "open borders." It appears she made these statements in 2013 to Banco Itaú, a Brazilian bank that is now the largest financial conglomerate in the southern hemisphere. "My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, some time in the future with energy that is as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere," she said, according to the memo.
Clinton has taken hits from Trump for her support of NAFTA and global trade pacts, and the Republican has already painted her as being too soft on immigration; talk of "open borders" won't make that any better. On her campaign website, Clinton promises to "protect our borders and national security," but she's said before the border is already secure and that immigration reform should be the foremost priority.
In a January 2015 speech, Clinton also expressed her long-term desire for universal healthcare coverage "like you see in Canada." This portion of the remarks were highlighted in yellow:
We're really just at the beginning. But we do have Medicare for people over 65. And you couldn't, I don't think, take it away if you tried, because people are very satisfied with it, but we also have a lot of political and financial resistance to expanding that system to more people. So we're in a learning period as we move forward with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. And I'm hoping that whatever the shortfalls or the glitches have been, which in a big piece of legislation you're going to have, those will be remedied and we can really take a hard look at what's succeeding, fix what isn't, and keep moving forward to get to affordable universal healthcare coverage like you have here in Canada.
On section of the memo, titled "Praising Wall Street," listed statements from Clinton lauding the financial sector. Among the praised parties: Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Fidelity, and Ameriprise. "Many of you in this room are masters of the trend lines," she said in 2013, during the Goldman Sachs Builders And Innovators Summit. "You see over the horizon, you think about products that nobody has invented, and you go about the business of trying to do that."
In discussing financial regulation, Clinton also said that "the people who know the industry better than anybody are the people who work in the industry."
There's nothing magic about regulations, too much is bad, too little is bad. How do you get to the golden key, how do we figure out what works? And the people that know the industry better than anybody are the people who work in the industry.
Another snippet from 2013 captures a back-and-forth between a Goldman Sachs executive and Clinton, where he thanks the former secretary of state for not turning her back on Wall Street.
MR. O'NEILL: By the way, we really did appreciate when you were the senator from New York and your continued involvement in the issues (inaudible) to be courageous in some respects to associated with Wall Street and this environment. Thank you very much.
SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, I don't feel particularly courageous. I mean, if we're going to be an effective, efficient economy, we need to have all part of that engine running well, and that includes Wall Street and Main Street.
The Clinton campaign did not immediately respond to a request to authenticate the documents. The memo was sent to Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton's communications director, Kristina Schake, the deputy communications director, and Podesta, among others.

Recorded Nov 17, 1971, and released (i.a.) on Allen Ginsberg: First Blues (1983) and recently on the four-CD boxed set of Ginsberg's recorded work: Holy Soul Jelly Roll – ongs and Poems (1949-1993) on Rhino Records.
Vomit Express: These 1971 sessions came about because Dylan had come to hear a poetry reading at NYU's Loeb Auditorium, standing in the back of the crowded hall with David Amram. We were on stage with a gang of musician friends, and Peter improvised, singing, "You shouldn't write poetry down but carol it in the air, because to use paper you have to cut down trees." I picked up on that, and we spent a half an hour making up tuneful words on the spot. I didn't know 12-bar blues, it was just a free-form rhyming extravaganza. We packed up, said goodbye to the musicians, thanked them and gave them a little money, went home, and then the phone rang.
It was Dylan asking, "Do you always improvise like that?" And I said, "Not always, but I can. I used to do that with Kerouac under the Brooklyn Bridge all the time." He came to our apartment with Amram and a guitar, we began inventing something about "Vomit Express," jamming for quite awhile, but didn't finish it. He said, "Oh, we ought to get together in a studio and do it," then showed me the three-chord blues pattern on my pump organ. A week later in the studio Dylan actually did the arrangement, told people when to do choruses and when to take breaks, and suggested the musicians cut a few endings on their own to be spliced in.
"Vomit Express" was a phrase I got from my friend Lucien Carr, who talked about going to Puerto Rico, went often, and we were planning to take an overnight plane a couple of weeks later, my first trip there. He spoke of it as the "vomit express" – poor people flying at night for cheap fares, not used to airplanes, throwing up airsick.

A kind sister named Brenda began e-mailing after my son died. She had suffered a similar tragedy and we shared the pain that Mother's Day can bring in the aftermath of such situations.
My 7th grandchild is four months old – and such a beautiful reminder of God's continuing vote that, regardless of its trials, mortal life is precious and that more of His children still need to experience it. To all mothers who may be hurting I would suggest changing the focus on Mother's Day next year to the celebration of the continuation life.
After a dreadful forest fire ravaged Yellowstone National Park a few years ago I read a story (I don't remember where) that impressed me. I will try to reconstruct it.
After the fire, the forest rangers were attempting to assess the extent of the fire's damage. One ranger found a strange thing: on the ground at the base of a huge charred tree, was a bird petrified in ashes. Why hadn't the bird flown to safety? Why would a bird sit on the ground and not flee the blazing fire? Curiously, he poked at the ashen bird with a stick, and three little chicks who had been kept safe from the fire by their dead mother's wings scurried out.
The mother, who could have flown to safety, had been willing to die, so those under the cover of her wings would live. What a vote for the continuation of life, and what an analogy of the Savior's love! "He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge" (Psalm 91:4). The Savior died that we might live, and only a mother's love comes close to His.
Recently I saw my daughter-in-law bravely choose another high-risk pregnancy, risk her life, and go down into the shadows of the valley of death, that another baby might be born. And she has never regretted her choice for a moment, but rejoices in the beauty of her new baby girl. The continuation of life is a reason for continual rejoicing.
Is there anything that brings more awe, more wonder, more tears of joy than the plaintive cry of a newborn baby? Can anyone cradling a beautiful newborn remain a cynic? The dark side of life is eclipsed by the sun-bright wonder of new life – and mothers carry the lighted torch.
It has always required faith and fortitude to choose motherhood. However, in most of the history of the world that choice was the norm, something women were simply expected to do. That is no longer the case, and many "modern-thinking" women choose to remain childless.
I honor young mothers today who choose motherhood with their eyes wide open. It is not easy to open the door to pregnancy knowing the risks. So many young mothers have a difficult time all through their pregnancy, and the epidemic of premature births increases the likelihood that the baby's life can be at risk as well. Yet so many young women – in the Church and out of it – choose to become mothers multiple times.
I honor my daughter-in-law for her for her unselfish devotion. Her pregnancies have been increasingly difficult, and all but the first baby have been premature. But her love for children has prevailed, and she has brought six beautiful children into the world. Even more worthy of commendation: she is devoting her full time and effort to nurturing them.
Being loved so much that a mother is willing to put her life at risk should make a difference in my grandchildren's lives. Being loved so much that the Redeemer was willing to die for us should make a difference in ours. We can choose to remember the One who loves us each day, be different because of it, and pass that kind of love on to our children.
President Joseph Fielding Smith saidm "A true mother's love is the closest thing to God's love that you'll ever find on this earth." No mother has control over the response of her children to her love. No mother can determine the outcomes in her offspring's life. But have control over our own decision to keep loving them no matter what. And we do have control over our response to the Lord's love for us.

Retained students may move ahead in January
by Elizabeth Duffrin July 26, 2005 August 15, 2016
For the first time, students who have been retained in grades 3, 6 and 8 will retake the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills in January and be promoted if they meet cutoff scores.
Last year, only 8th-graders enrolled in high school transition centers (students 15 and older) were given the opportunity mid-year to move ahead. Those who were successful began taking freshman-level courses.
This year, 8th-graders retained in elementary school (students 14 and younger) will be allowed to begin taking high school courses in transition centers if they hit the test targets in January.
For 3rd- and 6th-graders, the practical impact of a mid-year promotion will vary from school to school.
Some schools had so many retainees that they were assigned to small classes of their own—the board supplied 150 additional teachers to such schools. In those schools, children may stay with the same teacher. In some cases, according to William McGowan of the Office of Schools and Regions, those classes already were working on the curriculum for the next grade.
At schools without small classes for retainees, promoted students may switch classes but get tutoring. "We're not going to just dump them into a classroom without help," says McGowan. Already, 325 retired teachers are tutoring in these schools, working with three retained students at a time for an hour each day. The board expects to recruit another 150 retirees shortly.
The board also has sent 150 college students to tutor in grades 3, 6, and 8 at 150 schools. This year the board-funded Lighthouse program will pay 879 teachers for after-school programs at those benchmark grades.
McGowan says the board is eager to promote retained students who can meet requirements, especially those who are repeating a grade for the third time. "They are our absolute first priority."
Some principals don't foresee any serious problems for students switching classes mid-year. At Boone Elementary in West Ridge, for example, many teachers stay with a group of students for two years. Retained students promoted mid-year would therefore rejoin their former teachers as well as their former classmates.
"I know the kids look forward to the possibility of being promoted," says Boone Principal Paul Zavitkovsky. "Kids ask me, 'Is there a way I can still get back with my friends?' That's what we need to keep the kids motivated."
However, he notes that students moving up mid-year will have missed a semester's worth of material. "Just because you've got a score on the ITBS doesn't mean you know the curriculum." Boone will draw on the expertise of retired teacher tutors the board provided to catch students up. "I'm really pleased with the resource," he says.
The needs of any students who fail to meet promotion requirements for a third time next August will be met on a case-by-case basis, according to McGowan. Twice-retained students are already being screened for learning disabilities, he says.

Oh boy! I'm really doing this and it might get really personal for me. Bitterness might be the biggest destroyer of creativity and the most common trait among creative people who do not get the recognition they may deserve. It can strike even people who are successful in what ever endeavour they have decided upon, or been thrust into. Bitterness is an insidious part of being creative.
One of the main reasons is that creativity is linked to the personality trait of openess. If you love to hear new ideas or new ways of thinking, you probably have a great amount of openess in your personality make up. People who are on the other end of this scale will often bemoan you for not being part of the group's way of thinking. I have personally heard very often "Why will you not just accept things the way that they are?" and anyone who has a creative streak in them may find it hard to just shut that trait off, even if it means that you will be misunderstood by the people around you. This can in combination with self-criticism, something that often young writers suffer from, lead to a lot of self-loathing and bitterness. You either pushing it inwards and it develops into self-loathing or you focus it outwards and it becomes bitterness.
Personally I have done both. I have had bouts of bitterness towards the world because no one would buy my screenplays even though I knew how brilliant they were, or at least thought they were. At one point I threatened to burn a screenplay (which I had stored on several harddrives, so that shows how well I was thinking at the time) because my girlfriend at the time said that it made me look like I hated Christians. Now granted I have since read the same screenplay and I definitely see her point, but I still thought that what I was writing was not an attack and I could not believe that she could not see that at the time.
I have also had sever fits of self-criticism, especially after the girlfriend mentioned in the paragraph above, ended our relationship. I then went to think of how much of a failure I was and that was probably not why I could not get anyone to buy my ideas. This lead again to me not sending out anything I wrote and that started a vicious cycle that lasted for a few years. Said girlfriend also said that she did not want to see me grow into a bitter man and this was why she was ending it, and that led me to become even more self-critical and bitter.
Now let me be clear I do not blame her at all and this is not an entry about how horrendous I was treated. In fact I would say that I may have brought that upon myself and I will prove this by linking this to one the oldest stories we have in the Western world, Cain and Abel.
Since I am not a Christian, I have always seen that story in the Bible as a weird story about how the world got evil people in it or how weapons of war first were fashioned made up by a bunch of Bronze Age fanatics, but I do not see as this anymore. As I have mentioned in my last entry I have become quite the fan of dr. Jordan B. Peterson, the Canadian psychologist, and he spent an entire lecture in his Bible series on this exact story. It is not a very big part of the Bible, but it is a very important part of it. It directly talks about sacrifice and what can happen to a person who's sacrifice is not accepted by the world.
Cain and Abel are the first brothers in the world. Cain is a farmer and Abel is a herder of animals. They both make sacrifices to God and Abel's sacrifice is found to be good and Cain's is not. Cain then in a fit of rage kills Abel. Now what does this have to do with writing or creative works? Well, dr. Peterson explained very well in his lecture, that this story is not about God's capricious nature; sometimes he likes a sacrfice and sometimes he does not, but God can be seen more as a stand-in for the culture or society in general.
Sometimes the stuff that we produce, or sacrifice, will not be accepted by the world, either because it was not the right thing to sacrifice (you wrote something completely beyond the understanding of the people reading it) or you did not sacrifice enough (you did not do a good enough job). It can also be the case that you can be living in a corrupt or bad system that does not reward sacrifices correctly, like the Soviet system or a fascist system that would clamp down on dissenting opinions.
It is therefore very important to examine what you have written, how you have gone about releasing it and if the system you are living in is the correct one. This however can of course lead to what I mentioned earlier as well, that you become so self-critical of what you write that you do not release anything, which is a horror of its own. Every writer and creative person, in fact every person in general is in danger of falling into the trap of bitterness, so it should be taken seriously when faced with the rejection from the world, but that bitterness is hard to deal with. I think that the only way to fight it, is to examine what you have written, take to heart whatever criticism that the world sends your way, but not so much that you become paralyzed, and just keep on working. The only way you can become better is by listening to those who may not agree with you.


A breakthrough in the production of microspheres containing the radioactive isotope Holmium-166, used for patients with liver cancer, went hand in hand with the development of a TU Delft innovation: the 'flexible irradiation facility'. In this new 'sample holder' Holmium-165 is cleverly converted into Holmium-166; the microspheres are irradiated to a high level of activity, without damaging the biodegradable envelope by gamma radiation. The principle of an adjustable irradiation chamber was developed for TU Delft's research reactor but could be applied in any nuclear reactor. "This has brought the production of isotopes for medical applications closer to the patients," explains TU Delft researcher Dr Antonia Denkova, head of the research project.
It is an exciting time for the Reactor Institute Delft (RID), a radiation knowledge centre and unique research facility. This small research reactor was built in the 1960s specifically to conduct scientific research in the field of sustainable energy, healthcare and education. Following years of preparation, the many measuring instruments attached to this reactor are currently being renewed and expanded.
The neutron radiation produced by the reactor is in high demand. Just as a microscope uses light to visualise what the naked eye cannot see, the radiation produced by the research reactor is used to reveal the interior of all kinds of materials, down to the scale of a few atoms. Scientists from home and abroad visit the RID to conduct research on their own materials. The RID hopes to create new opportunities for such research with the OYSTER funding programme.
OYSTER does not only concern the measuring instruments used with the reactor. Dr Antonia Denkova, assistant professor with the Applied Radiation and Isotopes research group, is working on a new technical facility to make materials radioactive under controlled conditions. "The main reason we're doing this is to develop production routes for higher quality radioisotopes," she explains. The demand for isotopes for medical applications has been increasing for years, both in the Netherlands and the rest of the world.
But what are these materials? By irradiating a stable material with neutrons, an unstable isotope is created which then 'decays' into another isotope. The radiation released during this decay is used for medical purposes. This can be for diagnosis (radioisotopes in the body emit radiation that can be observed by SPECT scanners, for example, and used for diagnoses in fields such as cardiology, oncology or urology), or for treatment (radioisotopes placed near a tumour emit radiation that destroys cancer cells but spares healthy cells).
The National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) recently calculated that around 400,000 diagnostic scans are performed annually in the Netherlands, while 4,000 therapeutic treatments with radioactive isotopes are performed in people with cancer or other serious conditions. Both kinds of medical application depend on sufficient radiation being produced when it is needed and the material not having decayed too much to be useful.
"Imagine that a radioisotope is a battery and the reactor a charger," Denkova says, explaining the term, half-life. "The battery is charged when it is irradiated in the reactor, but afterwards it starts to discharge again." Whether a battery is 'too empty' to be used in a hospital depends on how much it has been charged and what the half-life is, with which it discharges. "The latter factor is a constant, but we can control the charging process - the irradiation of the radioisotope in the reactor."
Molybdenum-99 is an example of a radioactive isotope that is produced in reactors such as the one at TU Delft. This 'mother nuclide' Molybdenum-99 is an unstable isotope with a half-life of 66 hours that decays into Technetium-99m, an important workhorse in nuclear medicine that is used worldwide for medical diagnosis using SPECT scans. When Technetium-99m decays, it emits gamma radiation with an energy that can be detected by SPECT scanners.
Many other such radioisotopes exist, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, some radioisotopes decay so quickly that it is a challenge to get the activated material from the nuclear reactor to the hospitalised patient in time. Holmium-166 is one example from this group of radioisotopes. In these cases, it is important that the isotope is produced nearby the hospital. Radioisotopes are produced for the Dutch commercial market in Petten. The RID is a research centre for the development of new radioisotopes and production methods and functions as a backup for the Petten reactor.
In addition to diagnosis, radioisotopes can also be used to irradiate cancer cells inside the body from up close. This is called radioembolisation and is mainly used to treat patients with liver tumours. To be able to safely introduce the radioisotopes into the body, they are packed inside microscopic spheres of a tissue-friendly material, a kind of biodegradable plastic. The spheres have a diameter of 30 micrometres, about the thickness of a hair.
To produce radioisotope 'packages', it is more practical to prepack the non-radioactive basic material and then irradiate the entire package (the microsphere and its contents) than the other way around. This does place high demands on the precision of the radiation dose; the reactor produces various types of radiation. The contents of the microsphere need to be irradiated as much as possible with only one type (neutron radiation), while the packaging is not very resistant to another type (gamma radiation). This is the challenge Denkova faces. "Until now, we produced radioisotopes by loading the microspheres with contents into an irradiation capsule, lowering that into the reactor, and then hoisting it all back up at the right time. We were looking for a way to determine with more precision how much of the required type of radiation to deliver to the contents of the capsule."
With the help of funding from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), Denkova set to work together with two post-doctoral researchers, RID staff members and TU Delft's Electronic and Mechanical Support Division (DEMO). ''Nuclear reactors do not only emit neutron radiation, but also other forms of radiation, such as gamma rays. This latter form of radiation causes the microspheres to get damaged too quickly during irradiation. We built a modular chamber that can be fitted with various types of shielding, depending on which type of radiation is required and, more importantly, which type must be blocked."
The new chamber means the microspheres can be irradiated for longer time without them getting damaged . They also become more radioactive, so they have a longer useful life after irradiation. "The production and distribution of short-lived medical isotopes is a race against time," explains Denkova, "and we want get off to a good start."
The new generation of microspheres containing the radioisotope Holmium-166 is the first success using the new method of precision irradiation in the reactor. Before this project, Denkova worked closely together with the brain behind the Holmium-166 microspheres, Dr Frank Nijsen (medical biologist) of Radboudumc in the Dutch city of Nijmegen. "This cooperation enables us to push the boundaries and help patients profit from more effective radiation treatment," says Nijssen. Over the past two decades, Nijsen and his Holmium Translational Research Group have been able to apply the idea of the microspheres through laboratory and animal experimental research in patients. The microspheres were then approved for use in European hospitals. Nijsen recently transferred from UMC Utrecht to the Radboudumc in order to be able to take the next steps in his research into, among other things, new applications of the microspheres in liver, brain, head and neck tumors and pancreatic tumors.
The irradiation facility developed over the past months has been named the Flexible Radiation Facility (the Dutch acronym is FlexBeFa). To put it somewhat irreverently, it is a box measuring 20 x 40 x 40 centimetres. The research team reduced the harmful gamma dose that the microspheres receive during irradiation by a factor of 5.
There are plans to fit cooling possibilities to provide the sensitive microspheres with even better protection against the temperature increases caused by the radiation. Such technical adjustments are not easy, because the extremely heavy facility has to be hoisted in and out of a reactor. "Safety goes before everything else," Denkova agrees.
The design of the FlexBeFa provides researchers with plenty of flexibility for the targeted irradiation of materials for all kinds of applications. In the future, the concept of the chamber with adjustable radiation shielding could also be used for other nuclear reactors where radioisotopes are produced. "There are 246 operational nuclear reactors in the world, but only six produce radioisotopes on a commercial basis. The principle of the FlexBeFa could be applied anywhere and so help to create a larger network of producers, closer to the patients who specifically require short-lived isotopes."
In addition, the FlexBeFa makes it possible to conduct systematic research into new radioisotope production methods. Denkova: "The popular Molybdenum-99 is currently produced by irradiating plates of Uranium-235, then dissolving them and finally removing the molybdenum from the solution and purifying it. We are trying to find an alternative that requires less highly enriched uranium and produces less radioactive waste."
The research was funded by NWO-TTW.

Apple's iPhone Now the Leading Digital Camera for Consumers
Image via Apple
A new statistics from photo-sharing service Flickr revealed that Apple's iPhone is now the "digital camera of choice" among consumers. In fact, it got past the leading digital cameras in the market.
What the Number Says
Ben Reitzes, an analyst from Barclays Capital, revealed in a note to investors last Monday that Apple's iPhones are the "digital camera of choice for consumers and enthusiasts." It was backed by a data from Flickr, showing that the iPhone 4 was the most popular camera used on the site.
Garnering over 51 million registered users, the handset was able to beat leading digital cameras on the market like Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Nikon D90, Canon EOS REBEL T2i and Canon EOS 7D. It should be recalled that iPhone 4 was also at the top of the Flickr list last year.
The photo-sharing site also revealed a statistics, tracking all smartphones used on the site. It shows that the top five mobile phone used for picture taking are iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and HTC EVO 4G. The first-generation iPhone was the only Apple handset that didn't make it to the top five. Moreover, the HTC EVO 4G has only half a number of users compared to iPhone 3GS.
Reitzes attributed Flickr's result from the iPhone's technology. Because it's easy to use and allows owners to quickly post and share images online, the smartphone was able to replace standalone digital camera for many users.
"This usability helps warrant a premium for the product and create stickiness with software that connects consumers with other Apple products."
In addition, it's also easy to capture images using a mobile camera phone, and it's more handy compared to a digital camera. However, this doesn't directly reflect that some users don't want to have a digital camera of their own aside from their handset.
iPhoto for iOS
Last week, Apple announced that it was able to sell a million copies of its new iPhone software, a mobile photo editor app designed for iOS devices, in less than ten days. Released a couple of days after the new iPad hit the stores; it was dubbed as the "reinvention" of the pre-existing iPhone for Mac. The app takes advantage of the multi-touch capabilities and Retina Display of the iPhone and the iPad, and it can also support photo sizes up to 19 megapixels. Thus, users have all the reasons to use their iOS devices to take pictures and upload it on various photo-sharing sites.

The access also will enable those who sign up for MyRacePass - drivers, crew or fans - to get hot-lap speeds, race lineups and live scoring throughout the evening.
ULMA Late Models to the wire: The last two years, the Warsaw Auto Marine & RV ULMA Late Model championship chase has gone to the final lap of the final night of the regular season. Look for more of the same in 2019 with two-time reigning champion Johnny Fennewald seeking a three-peat. Former champ Aaron Marrant and young Kaeden Cornell both finished just seven points behind Fennewald in 2018.
Show-Me 100 a showcase: Always a highlight event, the 27th Show-Me 100 Presented by ProtecttheHarvest.com is set for May 23-25. The stars of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil MLRA will go after the $30,000-to-win top prize on Saturday night after a pair of $6,000-to-win preliminary features on Thursday (the Cowboy Classic) and Friday (Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson). The USRA Modifieds will have full programs as well all three nights as the entire event again is live on MAVTV Motorsports Network and LucasOilRacing.TV.
MLRA champ will be crowned: Lucas Oil Speedway again is home base for the Lucas Oil MLRA Series, with five events coming to the track this season including the Show-Me 100 weekend and 13th annual CMH Diamond Nationals on July 13. The 2019 MLRA champion will be crowned on Oct. 12 at the conclusion of Night 2 of the 6th annual MLRA Fall Nationals. First up is the 6th annual MLRA Spring Nationals Presented by RacingJunk.com on April 12-13.
Street Stocks set for battle: David Hendrix rode a six-race winning streak to the season title for the always-popular O'Reilly Auto Parts Street Stocks last season. One of Hendrix's main challengers, Brian Schutt, announced he's retiring from full-time racing, but look for 2017 champion Toby Ott to give Hendrix a battle. Also, the Street Stocks get special attention with the 6th annual Big Buck 50 Presented by Whitetail Trophy Hunt, Oct. 3-5. The winner of the 50-lap feature on the final night takes home $10,000 plus an entry into the prestigious mid-Missouri Whitetail Trophy Hunt.
High-flying Lucas Oil Off Road returns: Since it debuted at Lucas Oil Speedway in 2017, the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series has become a fan favorite, with big crowds flocking to the 1.2-mile road course. Look for more fender-banging and high-flying at the 3rd annual GEICO Off Road Shootout Presented by General Tire, June 28-30.

Every April 3rd National Chocolate Mousse Day recognizes the decadent dessert that gained popularity in France in the 1800's.
Then a century later the French developed a method for making a mousse.
In French, the word Mousse means 'foam', and this is an apt description of this dessert, being light and frothy, or creamy and thick, it all depends on how you prepare this scrumptious treat.
Savory mousses are frequently prepared from poultry, foie gras, fish, or shellfish, to be eaten as a first course or light entree. They may be stabilized by the addition of gelatin. Chocolate and mocha mousses are sometimes made with a custard base. For a fruit mousse, pureed fruit or juice replaces the milk in the custard.
The recipe first started appearing in a "Housekeepers Column" in the 1897 edition of the Boston globe. The recipe actually produced a dish with far more in common with chocolate pudding, instead of the more familiar foamy treat of this day.
The French artist Toulouse Lautrec was the one that had the great idea of mixing in chocolate to the airy invention.
Mousses, including those chocolate-flavored, originated in the 1700s, with the first known recipe for chocolate mousse documented by Menon, a French writer, in 1750, in his book La science du maître d'hôtel confiseur (loosely translated as 'The science of a master confectioner').
Chocolate mousse came into the public eye in the U.S. in the 1930's, about the time as chocolate pudding mixes were introduced.
