Toketa
Toketa, a Tahitian, arrived in Hawaiʻi in 1818; he probably landed on the island of Hawaiʻi. He was a member of the household of the chief (Governor) John Adams Kuakini, at that time a prominent figure in the court of Kamehameha I in Kailua, Kona.
A convert to Christianity (he likely received missionary instruction in his homeland – first Europeans arrived in Tahiti in 1767; in 1797 the London Missionary Society sent 29 missionaries to Tahiti,) he became a teacher to Hawaiian chiefs, made a visit to Honolulu with Kuakini in January-February of 1822. (Barrere)
On October 23, 1819, the Pioneer Company of missionaries from the northeast US, set sail for the Sandwich Islands. After 164-days at sea, on April 4, 1820, they arrived and anchored at Kailua-Kona on the Island of Hawaiʻi; the Honolulu contingent arrived on Oʻahu on April 19, 1820.
One of the first things Hiram Bingham and his fellow missionaries did was begin to learn the Hawaiian language and create an alphabet for a written format of the language. Their emphasis was on teaching and preaching.
Initially, the missionaries worked out a Hawaiian alphabet of 17-English letters. On January 7, 1822, on the mission press set up in the (Levi) Chamberlains' thatched house, "we commenced printing the language in order to give them letters, libraries, and the living oracles in their own tongue, that the nation might read and understand the wonderful works of God." (Bingham)
(Later, on July 14, 1826, the missionaries established a 12-letter alphabet for the written Hawaiian language, using five vowels (a, e, i, o, and u) and seven consonants (h, k, l, m, n, p and w) in their "Report of the committee of health on the state of the Hawaiian language." The report was signed by Bingham and Chamberlain. The alphabet continues in use today.)
On February 4, 1822, "Adams (Kuakini) sent a young Tahitian to us (Toketa,) to obtain for him that part of the spelling book which is printed, with a view to commence learning to read his own language. … This young Tahitian is one of the three, whom we have found here from the Society Isles, able to read and write their native language."
"He, with one hour's instruction, is able to read the Hawaiian (Owhyhean) also, and to assist the chief to whom he is attached." (Missionary Herald, 1823) Toketa then began to teach Kuakini to read and write.
Shortly after (February 8, 1822,) "Adams (Kuakini) sent a letter to Mr B (Bingham) written by the hand of Toleta the Tahitian, which Mr. B answered in the Hawaiian language. – 'This may be considered as the commencement of epistolary correspondence in this language.'" (Missionary Herald, 1823)
Kuakini's interest in learning to read had not stopped, and he continued to study under Toketa. Kuakini later requested that the missionaries send him more books and teachers. In response, Elisha Loomis was sent to Kailua-Kona in mid-October to organize a school.
By early November 1822, that school had fifty students under Kuakini and Toketa, the latter being "sufficiently qualified to take charge of it for a season till a teacher could be sent from Honolulu." Within a few weeks Thomas Hopu, a Hawaiian youth trained as a teacher by the American missionaries and part of the Pioneer Company, was sent to Kailua and put in charge of the school. (Barrere)
Later, Toketa moved to Maui and entered the service of Hoapili, a high chief of great note and foster father of the princess Nahiʻenaʻena (sister to Kiholiho and Kauikeaouli.)
While on Maui Toketa taught classes for the chiefs and helped in the translating of the Scriptures. Early in 1824, "The most interesting circumstance of the day, is an application for baptism from Kaikioewa and wife, from another chief and wife, Toteta, a Tahitian in the family of our patron Hoapili …"
"Every thing in the characters of these persons, as far as we can ascertain, sanctions the hope, that, through the knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus, they have been turned from darkness to light … and are proper subjects for the administration of the ordinance, the benefits of which they are desirous of receiving." (Stewart, February 24, 1824)
Toketa "continues a favorite with the chiefs, a diligent teacher and has given pleasing evidence of piety. He and several others would probably have been baptized before this had it not been for the difficulties that lie in the way respecting some of the chiefs who have requested baptism but which we hesitate to comply with and who would probably take great offence were any to be admitted to that ordinance before themselves." (Ellis; Barrere) (It is not clear if Toketa was ever baptized.)
Toketa then goes to Honolulu, still engaged in teaching the chiefs. Chamberlain wrote, "Some very interesting classes were examined. The classes of Toteta and Haʻalilio were particularly so. In the former class were Boki, Kekauruohe (Kekāuluohi,) Kekauōnohi, Liliha, Akahi, and other chiefs of high grade …"
"… in the latter were Kaʻahumanu, Opiia, Tapule, and others – all stood forth like pupils made obeicence at the signal of their teacher with the docility of children spelled a lesson from the spelling book read in the tract repeated a number of hymns & the whole of the catechism." (Chamberlain, November 23, 1825)
While in the Islands, Toketa wrote a journal. In part, he notes, "Those of Hawaiʻi talk much – day and night – about farming. In the cultivation of the land there is life. But it must be done continuously, otherwise death comes. They make great efforts in cultivating. There is no land which they do not ready for planting – they even raise taro (ʻai) on ʻaʻa lava." (Toketa Journal; Barrere)
Toketa was but one of a number of Tahitians in such a position during the 1820s and 1830s. The earliest, and model for the rest, was the Tahitian missionary Auna who came to Hawaii with a visiting English delegation of missionaries in 1822.
Others among the Tahitian teachers were Tauʻa and his wife Tauʻawahine and a female teacher, Kaʻaumoku, who came to Hawaii with William Ellis when he returned in February of 1823.
The three were taken into the household of the queen mother Keōpūolani and after her death that September, into that of Hoapili on Maui.
Stephen Pupuhi (Popohe), a Tahitian youth educated at the Cornwall School, accompanied the Second Company of missionaries to Hawaii in 1823. He entered the service of Boki, governor of Oahu, and later that of Kalanimōku, the prime minister.
Another is Kahikona, who took over Toketa's journal. Kahikona's first entry refers to incidents of 1838 and may indicate the time of Toketa's death or perhaps his return to Tahiti. We believe one or the other to have occurred at some time before 1843. (Barrere)
The image shows a view of Kailua, Kona, at about the time Toketa was there, teaching Kuakini how to read and write Hawaiian. (Thurston, Lahainaluna Engraving) (Lots of information here is from Barrere.)

Andover Theological Seminary
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the people of New England were taking a new interest in religion. The devotion to their Puritan faith, which was characteristic of the first generation of colonists, had yielded long since to the claims of everyday living. (Rowe)
At the time, there were three schools of religious thought among Congregationalists. The first was known as the Old or Moderate Calvinists (with convictions of their Puritan ancestors.)
A second group was called Hopkinsians (from their spokesman, Samuel Hopkins) stressed certain Puritan principles to an extreme, like divine sovereignty and predestination; and a third party in Congregational circles was more liberal in its theological interpretations.
Although Massachusetts had stayed fairly true to its Calvinistic Puritan beginnings in the form of Congregationalism, by 1800 a new sect had swept Boston by storm: Unitarianism. This form of Protestantism rejected the aspects of Calvinism inherent to Congregationalism at the time.
Rather than accepting that all people were fallen and could only be chosen by God to be saved – predestination – early Unitarians emphasized reason, free will and the power of people for both good and evil. Also, as the name suggests, they disavowed the idea of the Trinity, believing instead that Jesus was solely a prophet and an example to live by. (Balboni)
The Old Calvinists were especially desirous to have a theological school at Andover. The Legislature of Massachusetts on June 19, 1807, authorized the Trustees of Phillips Academy to receive and hold additional property "for the purpose of a theological institution and in furtherance of the designs of the pious founders and benefactors of said Academy."
The Phillips family was loyal to religion, as well as to education. They provided a gift to erect two buildings for the Seminary, the first American foundation for a chair in theology outside a university (a foundation for purely theological education was almost unknown in America.) (Rowe)
The Seminary was built on the campus of Phillips Academy in Andover. The Academy was founded during the American Revolution as an all-boys school in 1778 by Samuel Phillips, Jr (the oldest incorporated boarding school in the US.) The great seal of the school was designed by Paul Revere.
The purpose of the Founders for the Seminary, according to their constitution, was to increase "the number of learned and able defenders of the Gospel of Christ, as well as of orthodox, pious, and zealous ministers of the New Testament ; being moved, as we hope, by a principle of gratitude to God and benevolence to man." (Rowe)
Seminary students partook in three years of study and four major subjects: the Bible, church history, doctrinal theology, and practical arts of the ministry. (Balboni)
The Andover Theological Seminary was dedicated September 28, 1808. The establishment of a school of divinity was a part of the original plan of the founders of Phillips Academy, although not to make it a distinct institution. (Bailey)
In addition to ministers, the seminary also produced hundreds of missionaries. Over the school's 100-year stay in Andover, its graduates proselytized in Greece, Bulgaria, Armenia, Palestine, Turkey, India, Burma, China, Japan and all over Africa and Latin America. (Balboni)
Two notable graduates were part of the Pioneer Company of missionaries to Hawaiʻi. Hiram Bingham and Asa Thurston were classmates at Andover Theological Seminary (completed Seminary courses 1819;) they were ordained on September 29, 1819 at Goshen, Connecticut. (Joesting)
"On Saturday the 23d of October, the mission family, with a large concourse of spectators, assembled on Long Wharf; and after a prayer by the Rev. Dr. Worcester, Messrs. Bingham and Thurston sung, "When shall we all meet again?" and took a final farewell of their friends."
"In this far distant land of strangers … it is a comfort to us to look back to that radiating point of missionary light and love, and to remember the privileges which we enjoyed, when treading, like you, on consecrated ground. The rising palaces of that hill of Zion, its treasures of learning and wisdom, and its fountains of consolation are still dear to us, though we shall never look upon its like again."
"But it is the noble purposes of benevolent action, formed, matured, or Cherished and directed there, which gives us the most impressive view of its beauty and strength, and inspires our liveliest hopes, that that institution will be the most important to the church, and the most useful to the heathen, which the world has ever seen."
"When we look at the history of that Seminary and of the American Board; when we see their connexion and their joint influence, hitherto so powerful, and so well directed, and the peculiar smiles which the Redeemer has bestowed upon them …"
"… our ears are open to hear the united song of heathen lands,—'How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things.'" (Letter from Bingham and Thurston to the Society of Inquiry, February 20, 1821)
In 1908, the Seminary moved to Cambridge and in the fall of 1931 shared a campus with Newton Theological Institution in Newton, Massachusetts. In 1965, after three decades together on one campus, the two schools officially merged, becoming Andover Newton Theological School.

The First School
God brought Hiram Bingham a woman "he chose himself and bade me take her with a thankful heart, and always remember that God hears prayer. For he had prepared her and her friends to bless the mission with her aid." (Hiram Bingham to William Jackson, February 1821; Wagner)
"This friend of the heathen was an honor to the town that gave her birth and education. She was a sagacious and successful teacher in Southampton, Mass., Sharon and East Windsor, Conn., Canandaigua, N ., and Honolulu, Sandwich Islands". (Hiram Bingham to William G. Bates, Westfield, Mass, October 6, 1869; Westfield Jubilee, 1870)
Sybil Moseley Bingham was born September 14, 1792, the daughter of Pliny and Sophia (Pomeroy) Moseley in Westfield, Massachusetts. She was educated at Westfield Academy. By the age of nineteen she had lost both of her parents (1810 and 1811.)
Sybil was a good scholar; and when she arrived at the age of twenty-one, she commenced teaching, in different and distant towns. She was a remarkably mild and gentle person in her manners. (Westfield Jubilee, 1870)
As the eldest of three sisters, she had to work to support herself and her two sisters, who stayed with relatives while she taught school at first at Hartford and later at in Canandaigua, New York.
"The result of her labors there, in conjunction with her fellow-laborers, has been of world-wide importance. Those beautiful islands have been redeemed from heathenism; and, though the population has decreased in its numbers, yet the people have increased in intelligence, and the products of their labor have added to the comforts of the world."
"I doubt not, but that Mrs. Bingham was not surpassed, in her devotion and zeal, and in her earnest and faithful labors, by any other missionary, who ever went forth to a foreign land. Her whole soul was in the work."
"She was, in a peculiar manner, fitted for it; and there was a pervading enthusiasm in her mind, which gave to her whole life, the highest impulse of Christian duty." (Westfield Jubilee, 1870)
Hiram Bingham and his classmate, Asa Thurston, were ordained at Goshen, Ct., September 29, 1819; it was the first ordination of foreign missionaries in the State of Connecticut.
On October 11, Bingham was married, at Hartford, Ct., to Miss Sybil Moseley, who, out of sympathy with the new missionary enterprise, had been led to attend the ordination, and to whom he was first introduced on that occasion. (Congressional Quarterly, 1871)
They sailed for the Hawaiian Islands (then called Sandwich Islands) on October 23, 1819; on March 30, 1820, they anchored off shore of Kawaihae, then sailed to Kailua Kona and anchored there (April 4.) On April 11, King Kamehameha II (Liholiho) gave the missionaries permission to stay. Hiram and Sybil sailed for Honolulu the next day (and arrived April 19.)
It is said that she started the first school in Hawaiʻi in May 1820. ("… Sybil Moseley Bingham, opened the first school in this city in May, 1820, surely an historic date." (Hiram Bingham II)
Sybil's June 20, 1820 journal entry notes, "After neglect of my journal for more than two months in a most interesting part of our history too … Very soon I gathered up 12 or 15 little native girls to come once a day to the house so that as early as possible the business of instruction might be commenced. That was an interesting day to me to lay the foundation of the first school ever assembled in this dark land."
June 21st. "The most which has interested me to-day has been my little school. To see the little things so ready to learn, and so busy with their needles, is very pleasant. I long to know more of their language, that I might be pouring into their tender minds more instruction than ab."
"I think we make progress in that now. It was impossible to do much on the voyage, as, without books, all our knowledge of it must be acquired as it falls from the lips of the natives. There are a few females who understand a little of English."
July 20th. "What arrangement we shall make of our family concerns when so large a part has gone, we have not determined. I should like to have this little cottage a few weeks with only my kind husband and pleasant native boy, that so I might attend with more delight to my school which is daily encreasing, and such missionary duties as each day brings with it."
She did not just teach children, her July 22, 1820 entry notes, "a native woman called Sally in whom we have all been interested. She is the wife of an American – speaks English, and with her two little girls comes regularly every day to learn to read. I earnestly desire to be more faithful in instructing her."
Sybil was not alone in teaching the native Hawaiians. In 1820, missionary wife Lucy Thurston noted in her Journal, Liholiho's desire to learn, "The king (Liholiho, Kamehameha II) brought two young men to Mr. Thurston, and said: "Teach these, my favorites, (John Papa) Ii and (James) Kahuhu. It will be the same as teaching me. Through them I shall find out what learning is."
By 1831, in just eleven years from the first arrival of the missionaries, Hawaiians had built over 1,100-schoolhouses. This covered every district throughout the eight major islands and serviced an estimated 53,000-students. (Laimana)
The proliferation of schoolhouses was augmented by the missionaries printing of 140,000-copies of the pi-ʻapa (elementary Hawaiian spelling book) by 1829 and the staffing of the schools with 1,000-plus Hawaiian teachers. (Laimana)
In 1839, King Kamehameha III called for the formation of the Chiefs' Children's School (Royal School.) The main goal of this school was to groom the next generation of the highest ranking Chiefs' children and secure their positions for Hawaiʻi's Kingdom. The King asked missionaries Amos Starr Cooke and Juliette Montague Cooke to teach the 16-royal children and run the school.
Interestingly, as the early missionaries learned the Hawaiian language, they then taught their lessons in the mission schools in Hawaiian, rather than English. In part, the mission did not want to create a separate caste and portion of the community as English-speaking Hawaiians. (Sybil Bingham is my great-great-great grandmother.)

Morse and the Missionaries
Jedidiah Morse was a country boy from Woodstock, Connecticut who attended Yale during the American Revolution. In the middle of his college career, a spiritual awakening came to Yale.
Jedidiah fell under conviction of sin, and, in the spring of 1781, gave his life to Christ – this energized him in all parts of his life.
Daniel Webster said Jedidiah was "always thinking, always writing, always talking, always acting." Jedidiah's motto was "better wear out than rust out." (Fisher) Morse was a pastor, a graduate of Yale and a former teacher of young girls in New Haven. (Spoehr)
Recognizing the inadequacy of the textbooks available in America at the time, Morse compiled and published the first American geography book. Morse has been informally accredited by some as being "the father of American geography."
Jedidiah and his sons started the first Sunday school in New England. (The family continued this kind of work when they moved to Connecticut; his son, Samuel, became the first Sunday school superintendent in New Haven.) (Fisher)
Morse had set up a separate Theological Seminary at Andover in 1805. The Andover Seminary served as the recruitment and educational base of operations for a new American project, international missions to evangelize the world as the "School of Nations".
In 1810, a group of Americans (including Rev. Jedidiah Morse) established the American Board of Commissioners of Foreign Missionaries (ABCFM) at Farmington, Connecticut. (Wesser)
Jedidiah brought all the separate strands of the Christian community in New England together to found Andover Theological Seminary. Out of Andover's first graduating class came America's first foreign missionaries, and the school became known as a missionary training ground. (Fisher)
To them, Christianity was not a "personal religious question" or "feeling," but rather as a profound philosophical passion to "do good works". (Wesser)
Morse was an abolitionist and friend of the black community in Boston, when abolitionists were few. Also, a significant portion of his life was spent looking for ways to benefit Native Americans and preparing the way for missions among them. (Fisher)
ABCFM accounted for 80% of all missionary activities in America; reformed bodies (Presbyterians and Congregationalists, in particular) made up nearly 40% of the participants.
On October 23, 1819, the Pioneer Company of American Protestant missionaries from the northeast US set sail on the Thaddeus for the Sandwich Islands (now known as Hawai'i.) There were seven American couples sent by the ABCFM to convert the Hawaiians to Christianity in this first company.
These included two Ordained Preachers, Hiram Bingham and his wife Sybil and Asa Thurston and his wife Lucy; two Teachers, Mr. Samuel Whitney and his wife Mercy and Samuel Ruggles and his wife Mary; a Doctor, Thomas Holman and his wife Lucia; a Printer, Elisha Loomis and his wife Maria; and a Farmer, Daniel Chamberlain, his wife and five children.
With the missionaries were four Hawaiian students from the Foreign Mission School, Thomas Hopu, William Kanui, John Honoliʻi and Prince Humehume (son of Kauaʻi's King Kaumuali'i.)
Prior to departure, a portrait of each of the company had been painted by Samuel Morse; engravings from these paintings of the four native "helpers" were later published as fund-raisers for the Sandwich Islands Mission and thereby offer a glimpse of the "Owhyhean Youths" on the eve of their Grand Experiment. (Bell)
Over the course of a little over 40-years (1820-1863) (the "Missionary Period",) about 180-men and women in twelve Companies served in Hawaiʻi to carry out the mission of the ABCFM in the Hawaiian Islands.
In addition to his religious endeavors, son, Samuel, showed enough artistic promise for his father to send him abroad to study painting after he graduated from Yale University in 1810.
Painting provided Samuel with pocket money to help pay his term bills at Yale. He became one of the small handful of important American painters in his generation, and many famous depictions of notable Americans are his work.
The portrait of Noah Webster at the front of many Webster dictionaries is his, as are the most familiar portraits of Benjamin Silliman, Eli Whitney, and General Lafayette. (Fisher)
The problem was not a lack of talent, for Morse showed great promise as a painter, but he offered Americans grand paintings with historical themes, when all his paying patrons really wanted were portraits of themselves.
Eventually Morse accepted many portrait commissions, but even they did not bring the steady income he needed to support himself and his family.
At the same time, Morse was also deeply involved in trying to make a go of his newfound vocation as a daguerreotypist. Morse enthusiastically embraced this startling new technology and became one of the first to practice photography in America. (LOC)
Morse the artist also became known as "the Father of American photography." He was one of the first in the US to experiment with a camera, and he trained many of the nation's earliest photographers. (Fisher)
Oh, one more thing about Samuel Morse, while he did not invent the telegraph, he made key improvements to its design, and his work would transform communications worldwide.
First invented in 1774, the telegraph was a bulky and impractical machine that was designed to transmit over twenty-six electrical wires. Morse reduced that unwieldy bundle of wires into a single one.
Along with the single-wire telegraph, Morse developed his "Morse" code. He would refine it to employ a short signal (the dot) and a long one (the dash) in combinations to spell out messages.
Following the routes of the quickly-spreading railroads, telegraph wires were strung across the nation and eventually, across the Atlantic Ocean, providing a nearly-instant means of communication between communities for the first time.
Newspapers, including as the Associated Press joined forces to pool payments for telegraphed news from foreign locales. Railroads used the telegraph to coordinate train schedules and safety signaling. Morse died in 1872, having advanced a practical technology that truly transformed the world. (PBS)
The image shows the Samuel Morse painting of Hiram and Sybil Bingham, leaders of the Pioneer Company of missionaries to Hawaiʻi. (They are my great-great-great grandparents.) In addition, I have added others similar images in a folder of like name in the Photos section on my Facebook and Google+ pages.

When you are in a position such as the chairman of an educational facility that has more than 6,000 students studying to be a part of the future of this country, you must feel proud to be responsible for such a mission and also to be proud of being an Egyptian. Egypt has a unique history and a civilization that shone on the world since the dawn of humanity to guide the path.
Egypt has always been a prestigious country, a source of science, knowledge, ethics and tolerance and we are all hoping that Egypt will finally return to its normal position to lead the world. We wish through what we offer at CIC to share in putting a building block toward this goal.
Egypt has 60 % of its human capacity under the age of thirty and this is a significant indicator that makes us confident in the future, provided that we build these generations by offering them the right education, building their skills bring them up on the principles, values, ethics and belonging.
The Canadian International College has adopted since its inception at the beginning of this century the goal of providing education that can keep pace with modern international systems curricula and focusing on applied learning through hands-on training within the college and in the major companies in Cairo.
We also have distinguished programs to build our students skills and capabilities to be able to compete in the job market upon graduation programs.
In addition, there is another important factor that we care about which is creating a healthy environment and a distinguished student life on campus so that the students can enjoy this unique period in their lives which can never be repeated.
Partnering with the Canadian education has given us a value added, no doubt about it. Since we started we had stating ties to provide us with all the support from counseling to academic programs, quality measures, faculty and teaching methodologies to the moral support and encouragement to our students on campus at CIC and in Canada. We are partners and have cooperation agreements with that five major partners in success: cape Breton University, CBU, University of Ottawa, UOttawa, Memorial University, MUN, University of Windsor, UWindsor, and Lakehead University. Of course in addition to the constant support from the Canadian Government and the Canadian Embassy in Egypt.
Today, after more than 15 years of this cooperation, we find a generation of CIC graduates working in major companies in Canada, Cairo and around the world. These graduates have become a source of pride for the CIC. Through them we can foresee the future and feel that our vision has become a reality and hope that through this new generation that our grads are part of Egypt can regain its status and lead this world and the secret lies in education and mainly education.
We have taken upon our shoulders the responsibility to continue in our mission and offer education that can live up to the standards of international standards and we at CIC, whether administrators or academics have promised our students to offer them integrated vision, care and the quality of education they and our country deserve. We are working one hand and one team to achieve this goal.

The institute supports scientific research and gaining the community trust.
We have a vibrant campus life that reflects our students and their interests. Our campus is always busy with activities, that engage our students socially outside the classroom, helping to foster friendships and personal skills. Some of these campus activities include concerts, sports tournaments, community service & charity, public speakers and of course the daily events organized by different student clubs.
We always encourage our students to lead well-rounded, healthy lives. We have many athletic facilities on campus, including a fully equipped gym, volleyball and basketball courts, table tennis, and two soccer fields, allowing students to engage in healthy activities at any time. With these facilities, we promote healthy lifestyles, discipline, teamwork, and leadership development outside of the classroom. We also have a successful football team, who trains on campus and competes in national competitions. The team proudly represents CIC's dedication and work ethic everywhere they play.
With our dedication to educational excellence, we frequently host distinguished guests who give presentations. Students are able to attend these presentations and listen to experienced professionals speak on a variety of topics, which are often followed by Q&A sessions. In this way, we ensure that students are widening their perspectives beyond their academics by learning about real-world careers. In the past year, we have hosted the Canadian Minister for Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship, Ahmed Hussen, His Excellency Canadian Ambassador to Egypt Troy Lulashnyk, and York University President Dr. Mamdouh Shoukri.
The first campus of Cape Breton University in Egypt, our New Cairo Campus was established in 2004 and has been the source of Canadian higher education in Egypt ever since. We aim to qualify graduates to work regionally and internationally as we grant both Canadian & Egyptian degrees.

Cocktail treatment which will make your eyes shine. One of the elements is the exfoliation. The second element is the hydrogel-activator, which will prepare your skin for better absorption of active components.

Bizarre force Qrixkuor unleash mind-testing death journey into weird mire on 'Poison Palinopsia'
Operating in mystery can be frustrating or exhilarating in your music, depending on where you come from as a listener. As a writer, it can give you something on which to dig your teeth a little deeper because you're not necessarily bound to a philosophy or set of themes, so you can delve into the art in a different means so that you can gleam some of your own meaning.
Multi-international force Qrixkuor, named after a bird from Kenneth Grant's 1997 book Against the Light, unleash "Poison Palinopsia," a record engorged with occult leanings and outright strangeness that are packed into two epic-length tracks. They aren't directing you to specific topics, they're not commenting explicitly on the state of the world, and it's easy to just simmer in their thunderous gloom and let that shape your own journey. Its members—vocalist/guitarist S, bassist VK, drummer DNH—populate other bands such as Temple Nightside, Grave Miasma, Vassafor and plenty others, but here they focus on truly dark death metal that soars into the deepest caverns, travels through madness, and tests your will as you take on this mentally ravaging experience.
"Serpentine Susurrus – Mother's Abomination" starts things off, running 24:11 and basking in sound beams before strange growls and mind-altering playing make your blood race. Guitars soars and twist as your psyche is squeezed, chaos swirls, and animalistic shrieks do damage to your mind. The playing keeps rounding back, assaulting your guts, and the guitars start fires they're not necessarily keen to control before things take a doomy turn. Smoke thickens, the drums break through the earth, and the playing begins to smother, pairing up with the mangling growls. Everything builds into a weird fury, the drums turn stone to dust, and the intensity spikes before the track melts away.
"Recrudescent Malevolence – Mother's Illumination" is the closer and the longest of the two, running 24:31 and starting in a strange haze with synth clouds and eerie sound warps. Melodies slowly melt, taking on a plodding pace that's nevertheless heavy as hell. The pressure builds as the vocals get nastier, the leads charge, and the playing just melts, rumbling in echo. Orchestral synth sweeps hard, the hellish tones get dizzying and brutal, and the growls begin to kill as the punishment heavily crumbles. The playing shifts to slurry and strange, cavernous pounding penetrates, and the power overwhelms the senses, mixing into synth weirdness before the final moments bend to warped hell.
Taking the plunge into "Poison Palinopsia" is not something to be taken lightly as it's not a collection of songs you're encountering, it's a full-fledged psychological experience. Qrixkuor are not opening a portal into sinister sounds that any other death metal band could own and operate. This is a full commitment to the void, a trip through the unseen that might be unmanageable for some, intimidating for others, but something that'll leave its mark long after you've left its warped kingdom.

Chemical manufacturing company to pay fines for hazardous waste violations
"Hazardous waste violations at UCT facility in Bristol, Pa. result in $44,880 penalty
PHILADELPHIA (March 3, 2021) – Chemical manufacturer UCT will pay a $44,880 penalty to settle hazardous waste violations at its Bristol, Pennsylvania, facility, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced today.
EPA cited the company for violating the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the federal law governing the treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste. RCRA is designed to protect public health and the environment and avoid long and extensive cleanups, by requiring the safe, environmentally sound storage and disposal of hazardous waste.
UCT manufactures a variety of chemical products at its facility at 2731 Bartram Road in Bristol. These include solid phase extraction products for hospitals, clinical and toxicology labs, food safety testing labs, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, and environmental testing facilities; and silane/silicone products used in the glass and fiber optic industries, medical device, cosmetics, paints and coatings, adhesives and electronics industries.
According to EPA, the company violated RCRA rules including storing hazardous waste for more than 90 days without a permit, failure to properly mark hazardous waste containers, failure to keep hazardous waste containers closed, failure to make waste determinations and failure to provide annual RCRA training.
Do you know the rules and regulations that can avoid violations like these? With our library of hazardous waste training, you can learn crucial topics like the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), hazardous waste determinations, HAZMAT federal laws, proper management, reporting and recordkeeping, preparing and responding to emergencies, and the differences between hazardous materials, hazardous substances, and hazardous waste.

Risk Management Violations Lead to Settlement for Oil Company
Company settles with $344,364 penalty for violations of Risk Management Plan requirements at its petroleum refining facility. Read more from the release below:
Big West Oil, LLC resolves chemical risk management violations at North Salt Lake facility
Company corrects Clean Air Act deficiencies to reduce risk of accidental release of flammable mixtures and hydrofluoric acid
SALT LAKE CITY – (January 14, 2020) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today announced a Clean Air Act settlement in which Big West Oil, LLC (Big West Oil) has agreed to pay a $344,364 penalty and address violations of Risk Management Plan requirements at its petroleum refining facility in North Salt Lake, Utah. The company has been cooperative in correcting all identified deficiencies and has also agreed to improve the maintenance of process equipment to reduce the possibility of an accidental release of hazardous chemicals at the facility.
"This agreement will improve the safety of those who live and work in North Salt Lake for years to come," said EPA Region 8 Enforcement Director Suzanne Bohan. "Big West Oil has taken the necessary steps to improve the management of flammable mixtures and hydrofluoric acid at their facility and reduce the hazards of toxic chemicals to workers, the public, and the surrounding community."
The settlement, filed as a Consent Agreement on January 13, 2021, resulted from a 2016, EPA inspection at the Big West Oil facility that revealed several Clean Air Act Risk Management Plan violations related to the management of flammable mixtures and hydrofluoric acid; including deficiencies associated with process safety information, hazard analysis, mechanical integrity, and operating procedures.
This case is part of EPA's National Compliance Initiative to reduce risks from chemical accidents, and it addresses compliance within an industry sector– petroleum refining – which can pose serious risks from such accidents. Following recommendations made by the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board in April of 2019, EPA Region 8 is focused on ensuring compliance with the Risk Management Plan Rule at petroleum refining facilities that store and process hydrofluoric acid.
The Big West Oil facility is subject to Clean Air Act Risk Management Plan regulations because it stores and processes large quantities of flammable mixtures and hydrofluoric acid, a hazardous substance that is highly toxic, and when released to air, may cause severe injury, burns, or death. The Risk Management Plan Rule, or Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act, requires facilities holding more than 10,000 pounds of flammable mixture or 1,000 pounds of hydrofluoric acid to develop a Risk Management Plan and submit that plan to EPA.
Risk Management Plans address: the proper design and maintenance of equipment such as pipes and vessels; emergency preparedness; and the ability to minimize releases that may occur. They also provide valuable information to local fire, police, and emergency response personnel to prepare for and respond to chemical emergencies. Making these plans available to the public also fosters communication and awareness to improve accident prevention and emergency response practices at the local level.

SPCC & FRP violations lead to big settlement for Pittsburgh-based company
Company faces big settlement with EPA and two separate states over violations of the Clean Water Act's Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) and Facility Response Plan (FRP) requirements.
Koppers Inc. settles with EPA for alleged oil spill prevention violations in West Virginia, Pennsylvania
EPA Region 3 Press Office (R3press@epa.gov)
PHILADELPHIA (Nov. 19, 2020) – Koppers Inc. has agreed to settle with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the state of West Virginia and the state of Pennsylvania to resolve alleged violations of federal and state environmental laws at its facilities in Follansbee and Green Spring, West Virginia, and Clairton, Pennsylvania, EPA announced today.
A complaint filed with the settlement agreement cited violations of the Clean Water Act's Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) and Facility Response Plan (FRP) requirements. The SPCC rules help facilities prevent a discharge of oil into navigable waters or adjoining shorelines. The FRP rules require certain facilities to submit a response plan and prepare to respond to a worst-case oil discharge or threat of a discharge. Koppers is a Pittsburgh-based company involved in carbon materials and chemicals, railroad products and services, and performance chemicals.
Under a proposed consent decree filed in the United States District Court of the Northern District of West Virginia, Koppers will pay $800,000 to the United States, $175,000 to West Virginia, and $24,500 to Pennsylvania. The proposed consent decree is subject to a 30-day public comment period.
The complaint also cited violations of the West Virginia Above Ground Storage Tank Act and its implementing regulations, which seek to protect and conserve the water resources of the state and its citizens. In addition, the complaint cited violations of the Pennsylvania Storage Tank and Spill Prevention Act and its implementing regulations, which set forth tank handling and inspection requirements.
According to EPA, the most significant violations were at the Follansbee facility – notably, deficiencies in the facility's secondary containment for spills, and inadequate structural integrity inspection and testing of aboveground tanks.
EPA cited other major SPCC violations at the Clairton and now-closed Green Spring facilities, and other violations of the FRP regulations at the Clairton and Follansbee facilities.
In addition to the penalty, the consent decree requires Koppers to conduct integrity testing of specified tanks at the Follansbee site, or take them out of service; and to comply with SPCC and FRP reporting and plan amendment requirements.

Mr. Robot: eps3.8_stage3.torrent
by Logan Cox
"I just hope it doesn't come back to haunt us."
Time to plan a counter-attack.
Elliot is beginning to initiate his plan to undo Five/Nine and strike back at the Dark Army. From his perspective, it appears to be going well. However, there are many conflicting factors that he is not privy to. Factors which could just make things more chaotic or, at the very least, seriously hurt him and the people he cares about.
For one thing, he doesn't know that Mr. Robot has resumed his alliance with Tyrell Wellick. Tyrell, newly released and ironically proclaimed a national hero, nearly kills Mr. Robot before that could even happen. In a surprise turn of events, it's Philip Price who manages to bring them together. Price drops in to inform Tyrell that he's finally received his coveted position of CTO, only to take the wind out of his sails by clarifying that it's now a meaningless title and his only role will be to serve.
What I found really interesting is that he looks down on Mr. Robot's revolution while, at the same time, seeming as if he's encouraging him to continue with it. I'm guessing this is one of Price's moves to get back at Whiterose, using fsociety to serve his purpose. Whether he intended it or not, that's what's happening. By presenting himself as a common enemy, Price mends the partnership between Mr. Robot and Tyrell. Now they both want to take down Price, Whiterose and the rest of the 1% of the 1%. Tyrell reveals that the Dark Army has a man inside the FBI.
Mr. Robot is able to convey this much to Elliot before losing control again, letting him know that the feds can't be trusted. There goes the long awaited Elliot/Darlene/Dominique DiPierro alliance I was hoping for.
Darlene puts that possibility even further off through her actions in this episode. After finding out the Dark Army owns the FBI, she takes it upon herself to break into Sentinel, the FBI's evidence storage network where Romero's key to undoing Five/Nine is being held. She attempts this by hacking Dom. When her tech fails to copy Dom's ID, Darlene goes a different route. She exploits her and Dom's connection, as well as the latter's feelings of loneliness, by getting her drunk and seducing her. Even though I kind of saw this coming, it left a bad taste in my mouth; Darlene basically used the same manipulative tactic Tyrell pulled with Price's male secretary in the first season. Not cool.
And anyway, it fails since she is caught by Dom and taken into federal custody once again. Darlene expresses her distrust, but ends up telling them about Romero's files. That a solution is already within their reach. Unfortunately, she tells Santiago as well as Dom. He takes Dom off of Darlene's case on account of their "relations," and then informs Irving of this new development. He waits for instruction. I'm guessing Irving's gonna order him to murder Darlene and destroy the files. Santiago's being so dumb. He could have just kept this to himself and let Darlene throw a wrench in their plans way before they even knew what was going on. Maybe if he'd known what Elliot was up to as well.
Elliot doesn't know that Darlene's in custody, which could really throw a wrench in his plans. That would be tragic, seeing as he just got one over on Whiterose and her lover boy. He lies about their being a Stage 3 to get a meeting with Whiterose, but is met by her number two man/lover instead. It doesn't matter, they put a drive into his laptop to see what he's up to, inadvertently giving Elliot access to their data. It looks like he's finally got them by the balls.
Unfortunately, Whiterose's man is a rather perceptive fellow. He doesn't know that he allowed Elliot to hack the Dark Army, but he has figured out Elliot and Darlene are gunning for them now. Whiterose has been expecting this, and gives her man permission to have Elliot killed.
Everyone's coming up with their endgame plots, despite being unaware of exactly what their enemies and allies are planning. It appears all of these gambits are about to pile up in a big way. Maybe a way that is self-defeating for all parties. This show's season finales are usually pretty stunning. But this whole season has been pretty damn stunning, so I'm guessing something especially crazy is about to happen. I would expect nothing less.

* It was nice to see Gideon Goddard again, however briefly. He was such a nice guy. Unfortunately, it meant we also had to see Terry Colby as well, who is still one of the show's scummiest characters.
* I found it interesting that Price only decided to hire Allsafe after he saw Angela there during his meeting with Gideon. I'm hoping we finally discover what's driving his obsession with her in the season finale.
* Speaking of Angela, she appears to have gone batshit crazy. She takes news of Tyrell's appointment to CTO as proof that time is reversing or someting; although, she still refuses to explain what the hell she knows that no one else does, if anything. She's insanely paranoid, believing people are listening to her and that she can't trust anyone except Whiterose. And we discover that she's remodeled her apartment to resemble the house Whiterose brought her too: the "Hang in there, kitty" poster, walls lined with photos of people with faces covered in red stickers, plastic sheets over everything. She's even started talking to her fish, Qwerty, as if he were her only confidant. Angela heads to the train station, believing Whiterose will find her there, but is intercepted by men in a white van. I guess she assumes they are with the Dark Army, but I'm thinking it's actually Price's people.
* I love the newspaper headline about Tyrell: "From A-Hole to CTO." Nope, still an asshole.
* I'd been looking forward to a confrontation between Elliot and Price for quite awhile. Of course, when they finally do meet he's in the form of Mr. Robot. So Price technically still hasn't been formally introduced to "Mr. Alderson." Esmail, you teasing bastard.
* Watching the normally cool and controlled Whiterose flip out into hysterics over the delay in moving her operation to the Congo was satisfying. With any luck, her and her plans will be completely broken before this is over.
Mr. Robot: You're being added to a collection of puppets.
Tyrell: No puppet, no puppet! You're the puppet!
Mr. Robot: Wake up! You made a deal with a force that's bigger than you. When the time comes, they're gonna ask you to pay what they feel you owe them.
Tyrell: This is a childish conspiracy.
Mr. Robot: Childish? Who's the one who said we were gods? Huh? Time to grow up. There are no gods. Our closest deities are society, the richest most influential men in existence. Men who fuck over the rest of us for profit, for fun, and then leave us in the streets for dead! Just like your Joanna!
Tyrell: (retrieving his rubber gloves) ... You don't talk about my wife.
Mr. Robot: Wouldn't she want you to realize the truth and fight? Or would she want you to be their little bitch?
What an odd couple, these two.
Darlene: Even if we do this, do you really think it'll make a difference. I mean, the whole world has gone to shit.
Elliot: And we did that. All we can do now is rebuild. At least that's a start.
Darlene: (to Dom) What? You're not into fire-crotch? Hypocrite!
Ah, Darlene. She's a hoot.
Angela: You've been trying to listen to me, haven't you? Did you hear me? Did you hear what we were saying out there?
Leon: I just been sittin' here smokin' these trees, girl. I dunno what the fuck you're talkin' about.
That goes double for Leon.
Tyrell: I know what this is. You're embarrassed that you fired me. There's no shame in admitting the truth. You're out of moves, and your company needs me. E Corp needs my image, the face of a hero. That's why you're here.
Price: Oh, Wellick. Wellick. It's not that I'm "out of moves." It's that you're not worth one.
Mr. Robot: Whew.
Price: World catastrophes like this? They aren't caused by lone wolves, like you. They occur because men like me allow them. You just happened to stumble onto one of them.
Mr. Robot: No, no, I ran the operation. I pushed the button. I am the one--
Price: There you go again. I, I, I. You're still thinking like a lone wolf.
Mr. Robot: Then why don't you tell me how I should be thinking.
Price: Like a leader!
Mr. Robot: I am a leader.
Price: Then where are your followers?
Mr. Robot: ...
Price: You can't force an agenda, Mr. Alderson. You have to inspire one.
Whiterose's Man: I don't think their target is E Corp anymore... I think it's us.
Elliot: (narrating) And now I own the Dark Army.
Three out of four crazy lady grocery carts.

Know a dip from a dead end
Seth Godin's latest book offers encouragement to those who stay the course but also shows when quitting can be the surest way to success.
BY RICHARD PACHTER
rapATwordsonwords.com
The Dip: A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit (and When to Stick). Seth Godin. Portfolio. 88 pages.
Funny, the things that stick in your head. Years ago, I was chatting to a colleague who said that he planned to make a lot more money in the next few years. Cluelessly, I blurted, ``But we only get 7 percent raises!''
He gave me a pitying smile and said, ``Not if I take a job with another company!''
Sure enough, a few months later he had a new job at another company. In fact, his upwardly mobile, zig-zagging trajectory continued for several years until he wound up as the president of Motown Records . . . but that's another story.
Author and all-around wise man Seth Godin agrees. Sometimes, quitting is the best possible career move. The problem is knowing when to hang in there and when to pack that metaphoric salami sandwich and jump on the next bus.
SOLID ADVICE
This principle doesn't just apply to employees. Godin advocates the same tactic for entrepreneurs, companies, products and just about any other stay-or-go circumstance.
He writes about recognizing a dip, the low point of any project, compared to a cul-de-sac, aka a dead end from which things will never substantively improve, no matter what. The trick is in being able to tell the difference, but first Godin has to deal with a giant, hoary misconception. He quickly and deftly dismisses the adage about never quitting and persevering no matter what. After all, should Bill Gates have stayed at Harvard? Would he have done better if he had just stuck it out no matter what? Jack Welch may have done a few questionable things, but his strategy of quitting (selling) companies or divisions owned by GE that weren't -- or wouldn't -- be the first or second most successful firm in their product category was pretty smart. And there are plenty of other successful executives, artists, politicians and others who realized that the fastest and smartest path to success went through the exit door.
The one possible weakness of this otherwise terrific little volume is that it is aimed solely at people who are creative, intelligent and want to succeed. Those who are mediocre, unmotivated or just coasting through life will probably not get much from Godin. He is not an elitist, but his message is squarely aimed at those who want to succeed or at least achieve excellence.
Too bad, because we've all met people who hang on to their positions due to inertia, lack of health insurance or because their jobs are unchallenging, but they have plenty of time for side projects, goofing off and such. Or, because they are afraid.
THE SAD REALITY
Fear may be the biggest cause of mediocrity. It's often easier to go with the flow and hide in the shadows. For the risk-averse, ''no guts, no glory'' holds little appeal. In fact, they are probably terrified of glory and cherish their lives of quiet desperation. For them, Godin may have kind thoughts, but he offers little else except maybe inspiration and a glimpse of what could be.
For those who do seek constant improvement -- artists, writers, executives, parents, manufacturers, cooks and everyone who always strives to do better -- Godin's brilliant little book may help them figure out how to get there from here.

Crail ist eine Ortschaft mit 1639 Einwohnern. Sie liegt auf der schottischen Halbinsel Fife.

Geschichte
Ursprünglich lebte der Ort vom Fischfang, wovon der Crail Harbour zeugt. Im 9. Jahrhundert betrieb Crail regen Handel mit dem Kontinent. Die königliche Burg Crail Castle wurde – wie die Crail Parish Church – im 12. Jahrhundert erbaut, der Taubenturm  im 16. Jahrhundert. Das Marktkreuz stammt aus dem 17. Jahrhundert.

Es kann noch Fisch am Hafen erworben werden, dies ist jedoch vor allem eine Touristenattraktion.

Am Strand neben dem Hafen sind versteinerte Bäume aus dem Karbon zu sehen.

Where Are They Now: Bilal Powell
Catch Up with the Former Jet Who Recently Retired
Jim Gehman
New York Jets LLC / newyorkjets.com
A laid-back guy of few words, when Bilal Powell was chosen by the Jets in the fourth round of the 2011 NFL Draft out of Louisville, it would have been safe to say his first thought wasn't to order some namesake bling.
"I had a very small gathering in my apartment, and my wife missed it. She was actually in the rest room," Powell laughed. "My friend, when he heard my name, he started screaming her name and everybody else was going crazy. I just sat in silence because you dream about that moment. And when that moment finally comes, it just doesn't seem real."
Powell knew for certain it was real when he, the only running back New York drafted and the only rookie running back to make the team, reported to the Jets and met one of his new teammates – three-time All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowl running back LaDainian Tomlinson.
"Talk about a Hall of Famer. One of the things that I did early on in my career was just become a sponge," Powell said. "I gained as much knowledge as I could from a guy like that. I grew up watching him, and to have an opportunity to pretty much play behind him and watch how he moves, especially to watch how he prepares on and off the field, it was pretty much a blessing for me as a young guy coming in."
Playing in only two games and rushing for 21 yards during his first season, Powell was certainly discouraged, but also found it to be a beneficial learning experience.
"LaDainian Tomlinson was encouraging me every day, telling me to stay the course," Powell said. "He always talked about preparation, and how I needed to always be prepared because the last thing that I wanted was to lose an opportunity because I wasn't prepared. I always took that at heart."
In 2017, Powell's seventh season, which is more than double the average length of an NFL career, he led the Jets with a career-high 772 rushing yards and five touchdowns. What does he accredit that to?
"I think it was the guys I had around me talking about schemes that pretty much fit my attributes. And the guys up front," Powell said. "It's hard to take all the credit for having a successful year. You always look at the game plan and the coaches putting players in the best position that fits them and suits them."
Seven games into the 2018 season, Powell had 343 rushing yards, 110 receiving yards and a touchdown, before hurting his neck and going on Injured Reserve. Returning the following year, his teammates voted for him to receive the Ed Block Courage Award, which recognizes a player as a role model for inspiration, sportsmanship, and courage.
"I'm a guy that really doesn't talk a lot, but it meant a lot to me because that just shows the respect that guys had for me around the locker room," Powell said. "And I worked my tail off to get back. So to be voted by guys that you go to work with every day, and go to war with every day, it meant a lot to me."
With New York for nine seasons, 2011-19, Powell is eighth amongst the Jets' all-time leading rushers with 3,675 yards. Seventy-five of those came on a touchdown run against Jacksonville on October 1, 2017.
Midway through the first quarter at MetLife Stadium, Josh McCown pitched the ball to Powell, who ran 7 yards and fell to the turf. He then got up just as quickly as he went down, and sprinted another 68 yards to the end zone.
That play, which helped the Jets win, 23-20 in OT, is one of Powell's fondest memories with the Green & White.
"I saw practice mentality come to light because (running back) Coach Anthony Lynn, who coached me for about four years, I remember him always saying, 'Hey, don't stop until the whistle blows,'" Powell said. "Sometimes as a player, things get repetitive and sometimes you overlook certain things, the little things that make a difference. And so that run, understanding I wasn't touched, and just get up and run, I think pretty much sums up my career."
Powell's career with the Jets officially came to a close on April 26, 2022 when he signed a one-day contract with the team and retired.
"It meant a lot to me because I always wanted to be a Jet. When I came out of college, they showed the most interest in me," Powell said. "At the time, Rex Ryan was there as the head coach. You had Anthony Lynn. You had (general manager) Mike Tannenbaum. Those guys giving me the opportunity to live out my dreams, I always wanted to be a guy that wanted to be on one team throughout my career.
"So just to see that come full circle, to say. 'Hey, I came in this league as a Jet and I left this league as a Jet,' I don't think a lot of guys can say that."
Powell and his wife, Jessica, have three children: Amara, Nya, and Tavis; and make their home in Louisville, Kentucky.
"I'm doing custom home building, and my wife is working alongside with me as a realtor and home interior designer," Powell said. "And I'm working alongside Tom Waller Signature Homes. Tom Waller is the president of the Building Industry Association here in Louisville, and I'm looking to take his company over as he mentors me throughout this whole thing.
"I've always been interested in doing real estate and I wanted to actually start out with flipping homes. This opportunity came about when Bob Merritt, who is a dear friend of mine, and is very well known in the industry as a developer, as a real estate agent, and as a builder, told me, 'If you're looking to get into any kind of construction, I would suggest new home construction.'
"So I kind of dabbled around with the idea, and when I engaged in it, I actually started liking it. It was one of those things where my wife was interested in doing the same thing and we just became a partnership."
Very much hands-on, Powell is the general contractor on each project, and builds homes for clients and on spec. He currently has three homes in the works, having recently sold one and looking to list another one.
"That's the difference in the business I was in before where you pay for production, and now you pay for completion," Powell laughed. "It's a little different."
What does he enjoy most about what he's doing?
"Just to see everything that we put on paper come to life and every stage that comes with the process," Powell said. "You start out with the floor planning. You start out with the permit. Just the whole entire thing, it's step-by-step, A to Z.
"I really, really enjoy doing it. And I think the best builders, it's not about them as the builder, but having the subcontractors that are working. I think that's what separates certain builders from other builders, their subs."
The Powells are also building a second business.
"My wife and I are in the early stage of creating a wine. The name is 29th and 9th," Powell said, "29th, which is my number, and 9th was inspired by being in New York for nine years, and New York being a big part of our lives. It is New Jersey, New York inspired with the colors, in the name, in the design."

The newest addition to our bowl line up, the Vortex Goliath bowl, is an innovative idea on its own. The bowl, instead of leaking precious flavor down your stem, holds in all of shisha taste and pulls through the spire in the middle. This allows the shisha packed to smoke longer and stay moist, so it's near impossible to burn. The Vortex Goliath Hookah Bowl holds around 50 to 55 grams of shisha. The Vortex bowl takes hookah to a new plane of pleasure, don't smoke without one!


In the 1992 book 'Object Oriented Software Engineering: A Use Case Driven Approach' Ivar Jacobson talks about three types of objects and one of the types he talks about is Entity. Let's say we have a product, the intention is to reuse this object in different applications such as Order Entry, Fulfillment, Inventory Management, Catalog etc.
1. The object becomes big.
2. Only some methods are used in some applications.
object, it is difficult to figure out which applications will be affected when a certain method changes. It is easier to reuse if a group of objects provides a service that is focused on doing one thing really well. In this approach you may end up with different components that have the product object, but they will be small since they are focused on doing only one thing. We can namespace the product so that there will be no conflicts in applications that use them.

Fiji Hindi or Fiji Urdu is an Indo-Aryan language which is the mother tongue of 313,000 people of Indian and Pakistani origin in Fiji.
This language is very different from the standard Hindi spoken in India and the relationship between the two languages are similar to those between Dutch and Afrikaans. The language is composed of the Eastern Hindi dialects (Bhojpuri and Awadhi) with numerous English and Fijian words. It is spoken with a Pacific twang.
In recent times, due to the political upheaval in Fiji, large numbers of Fiji Indians have migrated to Australia, New Zealand, United States and Canada, taking the Fiji Hindi language with them.

GIMP-Toolkit, GTK, är ett bibliotek för att skapa grafiska gränssnitt. Biblioteket skrevs ursprungligen för att ersätta det proprietära Motif i bildbehandlingsprogrammet Gimp. Från början fanns GTK bara till Unix-liknande operativsystem som Linux men har senare portats till Windows, SkyOS och OS/2, vilket innebär att program skrivna med biblioteket kan byggas på alla dessa plattformar. GTK är fri programvara och licensierat under GNU LGPL.

GTK är en av huvudkomponenterna i GNOME och alla program i skrivbordsmiljön använder det, vilket ger ett enhetligt utseende och beteende. Även många andra program som Mozilla Firefox, OpenOffice.org och Pidgin använder GTK, även om vissa av dem endast använder det på vissa plattformar.

Även om biblioteket först och främst är skrivet för C, är det designat för att kunna användas i andra programspråk och bindningar finns för ett stort antal av dessa, inklusive C++, C#, Perl, PHP, Python och Ruby.

Komponenter
GTK består av tre huvuddelar:
 Glib (Glibrary) – grundläggande funktioner för datastrukturer, trådar och objektorientering, samt funktioner som fungerar likadant på många plattformar.
 ATK (Accessibility Toolkit) – funktioner för tillgänglighet, genom att implementera gränssnitten definierade i ATK kan program och bibliotek stödja specialprogram för handikappade.
 Pango (textbibliotek) – hanterar text, teckensnitt och layout, med starkt fokus på internationalisering.
