Q: Combining two NSStrings and a number Here is my code:
NSString *targetPath =@"/Users/miguelcosta/Desktop/Image.png";

In this NSString I want to do something like this:
NSString *targetPath =@"/Users/miguelcosta/Desktop/Image", RandomNumber + @"png";

How can I do that?

A: Assuming your random number is an int, you can use the below
NSString* fullPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"/Users/miguelcosta/Desktop/Image%d.png", random];

A: Formatting using NSNumber and image extension
NSNumber *randomNumber = @33;
NSString *extension = @"png";
NSString *targetPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"/Users/miguelcosta/Desktop/Image%@.%@", randomNumber, extension];

In preparation for the nationwide switchover to digital television, the U.S. government has sent consumers almost 21 million coupons to help pay for equipment that will convert analog signals.
U.S. Rep. John Shimkus, R-Collinsville, called a state Capitol news conference Monday to remind consumers they might need to buy a "converter box" if they have an older television set.
TV stations will go all-digital and stop broadcasting analog signals at midnight Feb. 17, 2009. Without a converter box, older TV sets that use antennas will be unable to display a digital signal.
Every household is eligible to receive two $40 coupons to help offset the cost of a converter box, which can range in price from about $45 to $70, said Brian Danza, special assistant at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration.
Coupons are available by calling (888) 388-2009 or by going online to www.DTV2009.gov. They must be redeemed within 90 days of their receipt.


Conventional ways of sharing results from various knowledge gathering sources are under pressure. While previous standards have involved long reports with a high level of detail, there is now increasing demand for brief and precise knowledge sharing of the most important results.
This presents a significant dilemma, because when we filter out results in our reports, we risk omitting important details, leading to the potential loss of nuances in our newly gathered knowledge. The solution to this problem is dynamic knowledge sharing, which allows for easy access to detailed information without compromising the overall picture.
We are therefore delighted to now be able to introduce dynamic web reports in SurveyXact. In simple terms, this functionality enables the reader of a published report to add his or her own filters and thus decide which respondents should be included in the results being shown to the reader.
We regularly evaluate our free courses using SurveyXact. In the past, we would generate a combined report including all of our course attendees, and then generate filtered versions for all instructors and course types. Now, we can suffice with a combined report, from which the reader can choose to extract and view only the results pertaining to specific instructors or course types. This provides us with a combined overview of our course evaluation and also allows us to delve into individual instructor's results.
Note that the above report is based on an anonymised section of an old version of SurveyXact's course evaluation.
You can read more about the new features in the chapter "Filtering reports" in the user manual.
Enjoy using the new reports!
Warm regards from the SurveyXact team.
Manager Ulrik Risbøl Lange is an expert in data collection and is available for answering questions regarding how to succesfully collect responses in your specific surveys.

Denton Halt was a halt between Milton Road Halt and Milton Range Halt on the Hundred of Hoo Railway.  It opened in July 1906 and closed on 4 December 1961.  The halt was about  from Gravesend Central.
The station was demolished after closure and there are no remains today. The level crossing adjacent to the station was closed in 1971 and replaced with a footbridge.

Milestones on the path to sustainability
The commitment for sustainability is documented not only in prizes and awards, but also the great trust HiPP enjoys from consumers. For HiPP, this means high recognition and motivation for new targets.
First place in image ranking in the WirtschaftsWoche
Consumers (8,400 survey participants) once again voted HiPP as the most sustainable company in Germany in 2013.
We are very grateful for the trust placed in us. The consumer vote also acts as motivation for HiPP to keep up its efforts to continue to guarantee the reliability and high quality of its organic products. Already in 2011 and 2012, HiPP was voted the most sustainable company in Germany in representative consumer surveys for the WirtschaftsWoche magazine.
Once again, in this image ranking in the WirtschaftsWoche in 2013, HiPP was chosen from 103 businesses from 17 sectors as clear winner. Second and third places went to household appliance manufacturer Miele and the drugstore chain dm. The last three places went to McDonald's, and the clothing groups H&M and KIK. Overall, the study showed that consumers value commitment to the environment and social sectors just as much as the product itself.
CSR Prize from the German Federal Government
HiPP receives first prize as one of the most responsible businesses in Germany
HiPP won the prize for its outstanding commitment in the areas of environment and community, company management, market and workplace and is pleased about the high recognition as the most responsible business in Germany for its size (in the category 500 – 4,999 employees).
Detailed information on HiPP's CSR activities can be found here.
2012 German Sustainability Prize from the German Federal Government
HiPP received the award as one of the TOP 3 most sustainable companies in Germany.
On 7th December 2012, the winners of the German Sustainability Prize from the Federal Government were announced in Düsseldorf. Applicants associated with exemplary economic success, social responsibility and environmentally-friendly handling of resources received awards. Only businesses which could prove outstanding achievements in the field of sustainability management, and who support a way of thinking for a sustainable society through entrepreneurial actions, were able to reach the final selection.
FAUN Category Responsibility and Sustainability
FAUN Responsibility and Sustainability Category awarded by the Deutsche Standards EDITIONEN publishers and Ernst & Young
In cooperation with the Deutsche Standards EDITIONEN publishers, the auditing company Ernst & Young awarded the FAUN for the first time in 2012, a prize especially for German family-run companies. The prize is awarded for excellent brand management in three categories: 1. Tradition and Solidity, 2. Responsibility & Sustainability, 3. Innovation. It applies across all sectors and includes the areas of consumer, services and industry. FAUN – an acronym made from the German word meaning 'family business' – was designed by Olaf Salié, Managing Director of Deutsche Standards EDITIONEN, and designer Daniel Bergs. It represents a tree and symbolises roots, growth, renewal and solidarity – to the family and the brand name. Stefan Hipp accepted the prize in the category "Responsibility & Sustainability".
Bavarian Family Business Prize 2012
DIE FAMILIENUNTERNEHMER (ASU) and DIE JUNGEN UNTERNEHMER (BJU) awarded family businesses the Bavarian Family Business Prize for the first time in March 2012 in the three categories "Sustainability", "Innovation", and "Social commitment". Claus Hipp won second place in the category "Sustainability" for Hipp GmbH & Co. Vertrieb KG.
German Solar Prize
On 5th November, EUROSOLAR, the European Association for Renewable Energy, honoured the Pfaffenhofen baby food manufacturer HiPP with the German Solar Prize 2011.
For HiPP, the Solar Prize confirms the company's philosophy which has been practiced for many decades. The "ecologically-friendly manufacture of baby food" runs like a golden thread through the history of the company. HiPP is not only a pioneer in organic farming, it also already introduced EMAS- certified environmental management in 1995, and was the first food producer in Europe to do so. Through consistent and sustainable implementation, the company is continually saving energy and resources and, in Germany, now manufactures CO2-neutrally –despite doubling production. As climate change is closely associated with animals and plants becoming extinct, HiPP is also active in supporting the preservation of biodiversity.
Recognition for Bavarian Environmental Pact
Recognition for long-term commitment in cooperative environmental protection through the Bavarian Environmental Pact
HiPP was one of the companies that signed the Bavarian Environmental Pact for "Protecting the Environment Together" when it was founded on 23rd October 1995. As a pioneer company, HiPP was presented with an award for its long-standing and exemplary commitment by Minister of State Söder during a ceremony in the Residenzkirche in Munich, together with the other founding companies. "The goal of the Environmental Pact is to strengthen and further develop the commitment of Bavarian companies to the field of environmental protection, based on personal responsibility and voluntary action. The members of this Environmental Pact offer a strong example in contributing to a Bavaria that is a sustainable, environmentally-friendly living space", says Söder. During the ceremony, the Minister of State presented an award to 120 Upper-Bavarian companies that were among the first members of this Environmental Pact.
Econosophen
Munich – On 6th April, the German aid organisation "Human Plus e.V." commended the children's food producer Claus Hipp with the "Econosophen".
This prize is awarded every year by the international charity organisation to individuals and businesses that show great social responsibility and outstanding achievements. Human Plus e.V. is a recognised charity for humanitarian aid, whose activities have contributed to alleviating poverty and suffering in many countries around the world since 1998.
With Claus Hipp's support for needy children in Haiti and Pakistan, the traditional entrepreneur proved that helping people is not just a job for him, it is a calling. This was the reason given by the aid organisation for awarding of the prize.
Pro Biokultura
On 27.11.2010, the Managing Director of HiPP Hungary, Csaba Bódi, received the Biokultura Prize. As part of Science Day, this prize was awarded for the promotion of ecological culture.
Steiger Award in the environment category
On 13th March, the Steiger Award for tolerance and humanity was awarded in Bochum.
Claus Hipp received the prize in the environment category because as a businessman his values have included the preservation and conservation of nature as well as the protection of the environment for decades.
German Sustainability Prize
German Sustainability Prize in the category "Best purchasing"
The prize went to HiPP for the careful and sustainable purchasing of raw materials. For a long time, the company has followed continuous sustainability management of the highest level in its value chain. Sustainability principles are complied with in all aspects, ranging from purchasing to production to sales and administration. HiPP excels at implementing these principles in the purchasing sector. Internationally, HiPP is the largest processor of organic raw materials.
Environmental protection prize "Golden Flower of Rheydt"
This year's prize winner, Claus Hipp, was already a pioneer in baby food production from strictly organic farming 30 years ago and, at that time, was already "thinking a courageous step ahead", Lord Mayor Norbert Bude praised the honorary guest.
Claus Hipp stands not only for organic farming with his name, added the President of the Board of Trustees for the awarding ceremony of the Golden Flower, Dr. Gottfried Arnold, in his laudatory speech. "In the past years, he has reduced the CO2 emissions in his company by more than 90% and most of the energy comes from renewable resources. Water consumption sunk by about 40% per ton produced. Thanks to Claus Hipp, society has become 'more ecological, more humane, more thoughtful'", said the speaker.

WHERE EXPERIENCES ARE: DUALIST, PHYSICALIST, ENACTIVE AND REFLEXIVE ACCOUNTS OF PHENOMENAL CONSCIOUSNESS
Velmans, Prof Max (2006) WHERE EXPERIENCES ARE: DUALIST, PHYSICALIST, ENACTIVE AND REFLEXIVE ACCOUNTS OF PHENOMENAL CONSCIOUSNESS. [Preprint]
There is a more recent version of this eprint available. Click here to view it.
Full text available as:
Dualists believe that experiences have neither location nor extension, while reductive and 'non-reductive' physicalists (biological naturalists) believe that experiences are really in the brain, producing an apparent impasse in current theories of mind. Enactive and reflexive models of perception try to resolve this impasse with a form of "externalism" that challenges the assumption that experiences must either be nowhere or in the brain. However, they are externalist in very different ways. Insofar as they locate experiences anywhere, enactive models locate conscious phenomenology in the dynamic interaction of organisms with the external world, and in some versions, they reduce conscious phenomenology to such interactions, in the hope that this will resolve the hard problem of consciousness. The reflexive model accepts that experiences of the world result from dynamic organism-environment interactions, but argues that such interactions are preconscious. While the resulting phenomenal world is a consequence of such interactions, it cannot be reduced to them. The reflexive model is externalist in its claim that this external phenomenal world, which we normally think of as the "physical world," is literally outside the brain. Furthermore, there are no added conscious experiences of the external world inside the brain. In the present paper I present the case for the enactive and reflexive alternatives to more classical views and evaluate their consequences. I argue that, in closing the gap between the phenomenal world and what we normally think of as the physical world, the reflexive model resolves one facet of the hard problem of consciousness. Conversely, while enactive models have useful things to say about percept formation and representation, they fail to address the hard problem of consciousness.

"Summer Camp" stars Diego Boneta, Jocelin Donahue, Maiara Walsh, Andrés Velencoso, and Xavier Capdet.
Before the party's even gotten underway, things get ugly, very ugly… A silent infection spreads, a friend snaps without prior notice. A savage game of cat and mouse ensues, it's unclear who is afflicted and who is not, and the pursuer can become the pursued in the blink of an eye.

Keep in mind I am not a culinary expert by any stretch, but I do love Mexican food and fish tacos in particular so I thought hey, North County SD might appreciate my Top Five List, so here we go!
This place is in a strip mall but get over it, and get in here. Amazing tacos, and great prices. Their standard batter fish tacos are top notch, but don't stop there. They also offer hot octopus, smoked tuna, lengua (beef tongue) and cabeza (beef cheeks) tacos. Another fav is the pastor, my husband cannot get enough of these and always goes back to order at least one more. Their corn tortillas are always made fresh and hot, and they have a salsa bar to die for.
Bonus= the folks that work here are beyond friendly.
Forget the ambiance, you won't find it, and it's not needed. They feature super fresh and darn tasty fish tacos, but even better they serve up the most amazing onion-cilantro-chicken-avocado and rice soup. Ever.
These folks started with one location in Oceanside and are now up to six, and that's because simply put, they have got it going on. They call their food "inauthentic Mexican" which is quite a risky statement in San Diego, but believe you me they deliver. The tacos are awesome. They feature a rotating fish special every day, as well as carne asada tater tots and exotic meat specials like wild boar, chicken heart, grilled quail egg and pheasant to name a few.
The Cardiff location is a must see. It's in the San Elijo Campgrounds with front-row views of the Pacific Ocean.
Pretty much a walk up café but well worth bussing your own table for spectacular tacos, and magnificent views.
Total hole in the wall, but locals abound in this real deal SoCal taco shop cuz the food is consistently great, they are open late, and the price is right.
Surfers and late night revelers a like clamor for the fish tacos doused in signature special white sauce (what's in there?) and I don't eat burritos but from all accounts the California is truly the bomb.
P.S. Be prepared for limited parking and a line out the door.
This is the priciest and fanciest of the group but it must be on my list. It's a really great place to take out of towners. The menu is extensive, and every item we have tried has been spot on, but I have to give special props to the shrimp tacos in crema sauce, and a shout out to the tuna poke, they are my favs.
With an incredible beachfront location right near the pier you are almost guaranteed a fabulous sunset view from the bar, or any table in the joint. The restaurant fills up Thursday-Sunday but if you walk upstairs to the rooftop deck they aim to please with kickass heaters, cozy couches, and a fully loaded bar menu. It is truly a delight.
Care to share YOUR top spots for fish tacos and the like in North County?


Jocelyn started taking swim lessons last week. They are learning to get used to and like the water, kick, splash, jump in and blow bubbles. Justin got to come with us on Thursday and swim with her, allowing me to snap some pictures. Lighting in the pool area isn't very great, so this is what I got.
Baby Graham is in the class with Jocelyn too.


So what now? Now that you've seen what the Scriptures have to say about your future, what are you supposed to do about it? The answer depends on who you are and when you're reading this.
The most fundamental question to be asked is: do you have a relationship with Yahweh? You now know quite a lot about Him, but do you know Him? He would like to "adopt" every human being on this planet—make us all His children. He has already "filed the paperwork" and paid all the outrageous fees. All we have to do is say yes, admit that we're homeless orphans, admit that we need a place to stay, that we want a loving father who will provide for us, that we can't make it on our own, and that we choose to be His children. Be very clear on that point: the choice is ours. If you will choose Yahweh, then He will choose you. It's as simple as that. But if you refuse to come in from the cold, I have no further advice for you. There is no alternate reality that will provide you with the shelter and warmth you seek.
(1) Communicate with your Heavenly Father. Talk to Him. Listen to Him. Take the time to learn what He's all about by reading the Scriptures. Carry on a running conversation with Yahweh, and be prepared to accept what His Spirit tells you, either through His word, through the opening of doors in your life, or even directly (the prophet Joel tells us to expect dreams and visions from the Spirit as the Day of Yahweh approaches). The caveat with dreams and visions, of course, is that they must line up with the truth of Yahweh's scripture—you shouldn't base doctrine on the effects of late night pepperoni pizza.
(2) Love each other. When you encounter someone in spiritual or material need, meet that need, if it's in your power. If it's not, pray for it. Treat others with the same kindness, respect, and honesty you show yourself. This applies to everyone in your sphere of contact, but especially to fellow believers: our love for each other is supposed to be what sets us apart from the world.
(3) Be holy; that is, separate yourself from the world's influence. Maintain a pilgrim mentality, for our citizenship is not of this world. Filter everything you hear through the truth of scripture. Don't confuse earning a living with life itself. Do what you can to improve conditions for your fellow man, but don't confuse good works with holiness. Read the works of godly men and women, but don't confuse their writings with holy scripture. Vote if you want to, but don't confuse your candidate with Christ.
(4) Stop tolerating false doctrine. Tell the unvarnished truth, even if it's not popular. Loving one's neighbor doesn't mean sending him to hell out of "respect for his point of view." No matter what the politicians and the media say, we do not all worship the same god. Yahweh doesn't share His throne with Ba'al. I'm not talking about being dogmatic about fine points of scriptural interpretation—like conflicting views on the chronology of the rapture, for instance. But certain truths are foundational: the deity of Yahshua, His atoning sacrifice, our need for salvation. Don't compromise or dilute your faith in these matters for any reason. But at the same time, don't confuse guarding God's truth in the world with forcing the heathen to behave themselves. These are two different things—the first one essential, and the second pointless.
(5) Don't exalt religious tradition over scriptural truth. Be honest with yourself: if your "religion" depends on rituals and conventions rather than your relationship with Yahweh, then something's wrong. Question everything that's not spelled out in Scripture, and be prepared to challenge habits you've taken a lifetime to form. Personally, I agonize over things I suspect are wrong but know I'll never be able to change: man-made traditions like Sunday worship and the observance of Christmas in December. Begin paying attention to the significance of the seven annual Feasts of Yahweh. Trust the Scriptures but don't trust the translations: look up the Hebrew and Greek words. Dig deep. Spend time. You'll find that our English translations time and again fail to communicate the full impact of Yahweh's Word, and far too often they miss the truth all together.
(6) Support Israel. Yahweh wasn't kidding when He told us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Evangelical Christians are the only real ally Israel has in today's world. As we approach the end, both of us will find ourselves isolated, misunderstood, and persecuted. But Yahweh's "exit strategy" for the Ekklesia will predate Israel's by at least seven years, perhaps longer. What we do for Israel now will come to remembrance when they enter the Time of Jacob's Trouble. The Battle of Magog will turn them back to Yahweh, but their recollection of our love and support will prepare them for the epiphany of the Day of Atonement—four or five years later—when they will recognize their Messiah as the same One we worshiped when we walked the earth.
(7) Rejoice. No matter how bad things get between now and the end of the beginning, remember that you are a child of the King. Your sins have been forgiven, and a wonderful eternity awaits you. Satan's pitiful schemes can have no lasting effect on your life, for unlike him and his followers, you are destined for blessed immortality, a participant in the glory of God Himself. So again I say, rejoice!
I know it's unlikely, but what if the rapture has already taken place when you stumble across these pages? Millions of Christians have suddenly disappeared, leaving the world wondering what happened. You'll know I got that part right, at least. And having read the rest of the book, you've discovered that you've now got a problem: you've missed the only chance you had to live your life out "normally." The rapture, having been foretold in the Scriptures, proves that God has at last begun to bring His revealed plan to fruition. The rest of Biblical prophecy will now be fulfilled in quick succession.
As before, the first thing you need to do is repent, acknowledge your sin, and ask God to forgive you and save you. He will, even now. Again, if you refuse to accept the grace of Yahweh, there's nothing more I can say to you. But assuming you have taken that step, welcome to the Assembly of Laodicea. The good news is that you are now a child of Yahweh. The bad news is that your chances of making it through to the end of the Tribulation in one piece are slim to the point of anorexia—though some will.
The first thing we need to do is review the only instructions God left specifically for you. I'm referring to Yahshua's letter to the Church at Laodicea, recorded in Revelation 3. You have already heeded His invitation: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me." The promise He made at this point is meant to encourage you in the coming trial: "To him who overcomes [that's you] I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne." (Revelation 3:20-21) That's a pretty neat promise.
Now that you're a believer, the seven goals I listed above apply to you as well, but the list is slanted somewhat to reflect your new situation. The first three (prayer, love, and holiness—being set apart) stand unchanged. Developing a holy intolerance for false doctrine will be simplified somewhat, for such heresies will be easier to spot as the end approaches. The key is the first commandment: "I am Yahweh your God…. You shall have no other gods before me." (Exodus 20:1-2) Indeed, the world will for a time tolerate every point of view but yours, and every god but the real One. Your relationship with Yahweh will classify you as an ultra-right-wing fundamentalist whacko at best, and a dangerous and subversive religious terrorist at worst. The very idea that you have convictions based on a relationship with a God who requires holiness will be seen as antisocial behavior, the worst sort of bigotry—a hate crime. It will only be a matter of time before "your brand" of Christianity is outlawed, persecuted, and punished.
As for refusing to let religion replace relationship, that issue will more or less take care of itself. You won't find "your kind" welcome in fancy cathedrals with stained-glass windows. The Laodicean Ekklesia will, like some in the early church, find themselves back in the catacombs (so to speak), hiding out from a world that irrationally hates it. But in that, you can still rejoice, for they hated your Savior as well: you're in good company. Consider it an honor to be reviled by evil people because you are not like them—even though your goodness is only borrowed, derived from the sacrificial blood of the Messiah who died for your sins.
And what about supporting Israel? As you now know, her fate has been foretold by Yahweh's prophets. If a charismatic world leader has arisen from somewhere in the old Roman empire (nobody's going to be calling him "the Antichrist," you understand), the implementation of his plan to guarantee Israel's security for seven years is what begins the Tribulation. Supporting Israel at this time is no longer a matter of writing to your Congressman or even praying for the peace of Jerusalem. It is now a personal affair.
If you're a gentile, Yahweh wants you to protect the Jews in your personal sphere of influence from anti-Semitic attacks. If it entails breaking the law to do this, then break the law. Shelter them, feed them, equip them, and console them to the best of your ability, for in so doing, you will be supporting the Messiah Himself, as far as He's concerned. This kind of activity will, at times, be risky—increasingly so as the Tribulation reaches the mid-point. But you've read the scriptures; you know how it all ends. Take courage and do what you know is right—or more to the point, what you know the coming King wants you to do.
If you're a Jew, the course of action I'd recommend is a bit different. Don't resist official attempts to repatriate you and your family to Israel. As dangerous as things look there, it's the safest place you could be. Yahweh Himself will be fighting your battles for you, though things will look unbelievably grim for the final three and a half years—getting so bad that you and your countrymen will have to hide out in the wilderness. As a "believing" Jew, you're going to be in the minority at first. Do what you can to teach your fellow Jews about God's plan of restoration for them, and prepare them for the shock of their lives: Yahshua—Jesus—is their Messiah. They will all (i.e., the one third of the Jews who survive) come to know this eventually, on the final Day of Atonement, but there's no reason to keep the epiphany a secret until the big day.
Whatever happens, do not buy into any plan ostensibly invented to manage commerce and control crime through the implementation of a world-wide system that requires any kind of oath, mark, or personal biometric identifier. It will entail submission to a single man and his government, and will probably include some overt form of Satan worship, whether under the name Lucifer, Halal, or Allah. Even if the authorities promise to hunt down conscientious objectors to this scheme and cut their heads off, don't accept this system: it's the mark of the Beast.
You have been warned. As gruesome as the carnage will be during the Tribulation, some will make it alive into the seventh Millennium. Before you are 45 days (cf. Daniel 12:11, 12) into the Millennium, however, the "sheep" who took care of Yahshua's "brethren" will be separated from the "goats," who did not, and the goats will be slain. Whoever is left will be the patriarchs and matriarchs of the Millennial Kingdom of Christ—whose job it will be to be fruitful and replenish the earth. This all leads me to the conclusion that Yahweh wants you to at least try to survive the bad times.
Remember, I'm talking to people who have missed the rapture but who have subsequently repented and become children of Yahshua. Knowing how long it will last is going to be important information: it won't last forever—don't give up. The Messiah's reign will begin precisely 2,520 days after the Antichrist "confirms a covenant with many"—i.e., guarantees Israel's security through a seven-year treaty. What should you be doing to increase your chances of making through to the end alive?
(1) I'd suggest developing some survival skills. Learn how to live outdoors, live off the land. Buy camping equipment and learn how to use it. Stock up on foods packaged to keep indefinitely. Learn how to hunt and trap.
(2) Move away from major population centers and military installations. The war of Magog (precipitating World War III) will hit these places the hardest.
(3) Don't trust anything you hear through official media channels. Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
(4) Filter your perception of reality through the plain teaching of the scriptures. Of course, the rub there is that you're a new Christian and presumably don't know much. So get a Bible, read it, learn, and listen for the leading of the Holy Spirit.
(5) If you encounter other Christians or Jews, help them in whatever ways you can.
(6) Resist the temptation to strike back against those who are persecuting you. Rather, recognize that Babylon has grown strong. Rest assured, it's only temporary. Our instructions are to flee, not fight. If you're caught, speak out boldly in the name of Yahshua. He will give you the right words when the time comes.
(7) Finally, don't hold onto your mortal life too dearly. Spiritual compromise is far worse than physical death. Many more will die than will live. If you don't make it alive into the Millennium, you can still look forward to a new, immortal body and the opportunity to live with Yahshua forever. Yahweh has promised you eternal life. He's never broken a promise. He's not going to start now.

Forbes Best Undergraduate Business Schools 2023
Forbes Best Undergraduate Business Schools Top Picks
Aswini V Jan 17, 2023 0 Comments
Forbes Best Undergraduate Business Schools is an annual ranking that recognizes the top business programs in the United States. The ranking is based on a survey of 17,500 current students…


LEARN ABOUT YOUR NEW CITY You may find yourself lodged in a hotel or temporary housing until your belongings arrive, and that's a nice opportunity to become familiar with DFW. Destination DFW is the perfect place to start learning about what this wonderful city has to offer. You can also find additional information at the Chamber of Commerce, the Visitor's Center, hotels/motels/airports, and real estate offices (see the Helpful Websites sidebar on the opposite page).
A walking or bus tour, while fun for the whole family, actually serves to help you become acclimated and learn about the city. You can also visit local points of interest such as museums, parks and exhibits; enjoy a concert; and try out restaurants featuring local cuisine. Check out any services, activities or organizations that are of particular interest to your family.
SPOUSE CAREER CONSIDERATIONS One of the biggest challenges of moving is relocating a "second" career. If you, as a spouse, are transferring your job to a home office, then a computer, telephone, e-mail account and fax machine may be all that you will need to get started. However, if your job was not "portable," you might consider a new career, part-time or temporary employment, or perhaps even start your own business.
Evaluate your skills, accomplishments and greatest strengths when you are planning your next endeavor. A few resources to tap are your spouse's employer, local organizations, real estate offices with "Partner Career Assistance Programs," independent career counselors, your university/college alma mater and of course the Sunday edition of the local papers. If you are searching for a job, start networking by telling those you meet that you are looking.
SUCCESSFULLY RELOCATING YOUR SMALLEST MOVERS The majority of relocating families have dependent children. If you are moving with children, you probably researched schools before moving; however, personal school visits will transform the unknown into reality. Visits to new schools to survey the classrooms and meet teachers will go a long way to allay your, and your children's worries about the new environment.
Listen carefully to each child's concerns— every move can bring new issues to the surface. Encourage your children to maintain contact with former friends, even while trying to make new friends. Exchanging photos, having e-mail access and possibly a cell phone with a camera feature can help bridge the gap between old and new friends during the early weeks in a new location.
and you need to work together as a family to solve them.

Armed with his acoustic guitar, "Moonlight" is a song that would take us the "heydays" of Alternative music back in the 90s with his catchy melodies reminiscent of REM. We are pleased to team up with Christopher and his misfits for the premiere of the charming video for this track.
NORWOOD is the brainchild of singer-songwriter Christopher Norwood, who has been been building the name for a number of years. With the help of Nastasia Green on co-vocals, and bandmates Keith Michael Pinaul, Hajnal Pivnick an Max Maples, the group creates a constant sound of Folk-laced bliss with vibrant tracks, and infectious, harmonious melodies.

These songs are for the people who take life on a person-by-person basis instead of lumping people into easily marketable groups, cliques, races, social classes, genders, whatever.

Considéring all of the celebrations involved with Mexico's privatizatión are blasting fresh paths with every single stage of the procedure, this kind of upsurge in creation is amazing. Plus, it really is impórtant to keep in mind that Mexico's reform had not been a complete privatization as México's Ministry óf Energy provided the nationwide E&P opérator, Pemex, 83% of Mexico's verified and probable hydrócarbon reserves departing just 21% of the countries potential assets to become bid on in "Ground Zero".
With all the advantage of hindsight available to all of us, it really is sure that México's checking of their particular oil areas has mainly producéd the intended outcomé of improving production and increasing effectiveness. 5 billion dollars at this time, you are Iikely creating a not too huge percentage. While these types of staunchly different positions summarize the polar ends from the political range, they neglect to explore the possibilities among. Earlier this Might, the NationaI Hydrocarbons Cómmission (CNH) announced thát "251 million barrels of essential oil comparative (be)" have been included to thé nationwide supplies because of this from the discovéries simply by personal international and local exploration and creation businesses. 5 billion dollars be.
To place this physique in the framework, México's topic réserves amount is approximately 8. Supporters of nationalization argue that companies have a tendency to make use of their monopoly power disregarding thé public welfare from the communities they will provide. And regarding Mexico's newly nationalized oil marketplaces, probably a 21st-century win solution is just around the corner. When a nation undergoes substantial energy change Like South America do in 2014, the final results may differ significantly.
In 2017, Talos Energy and organization were thé first personal group to drill an offshore well in Philippine background. E. – outlined Premier Essential oil and Riverstone- supported Sierra Oil &Gás, to start growing the Zama-1 block. In 2015, Talos Energy gained two of México's fourteen brand-new blocks which were on offer in thé 1st circular of Mexico's rent sale. TalosEngery joined consortium of businesses including U. Among the first international businesses to win an agreement from Mexico through the earliest times of putting in a bid was Talos Energy.
A United States-based group named Talos Energy is looking to team up with Pemex. Pemex is a state-run energy firm in Mexico. The two energy firms want to create lucrative oil together. The plans include gas discovery as well.
Talos' project named Zama came up with a major oil deposit while working in the southern Gulf area of Mexico. The project was going in the shallow waters. This oil reservoir had the capacity to hold 2 billion barrels. In addition, it could hold almost 800 million barrels in recovery as well.
This oil reservoir discovery extends into Pemex's block. The Mexican firm had plans for drilling in that southern area as well. They are going to drill their own well by the end of 2018.
The Chief Executive Officer of Talos named Tim Duncan was interviewed recently, and he said that they want to analyze their data. This will help both the firms. Talos Energy intends to team up with Pemex as soon as possible and wants to come up with a strategy that would benefit both firms.
Mr. Duncan said that a team including Mexico's Sierra Oil and Gas, Talos and Britain's Premier Oil would all share their data about the project with Pemex. All the firms are looking to finalize their deals by the end of 2019.
The CEO of Talos Energy participated in a recent meeting with President Andres Manual Obrador. The President-elect has promised that he will strengthen Pemex even more by the end of this year.
The President encouraged energy firms such as Talos in this meeting. They want to produce more oil barrels as soon as possible. This will help reverse a decade long production. The oil regulator of Mexico approved an appraisal deal for Talos' project in September. The team from Talos Energy will invest around $ 325 million to drill more wells. They are also looking to complete their research by 2019.
Tim Duncan was reported saying that drilling will begin by the end of this month. The predicted production will be around 150,000 barrels each day by 2023.
Talos Energy CEO Tim Duncan knows full well that drilling into the ground on the dusty plains of the Texas Permian basin might be more of a sure thing than sinking a well deep into the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. But he also knows something else. An underwater Gulf well can produce oil for decades while a so-called "sure thing" on the plains of Texas may give up in just a year or two.
That's why Duncan is putting his company's focus on the often stormy Gulf waters. Yes, it more expensive, dangerous, risky and chancy to drill underwater, but the payoff can be huge.
Take, for example, the bold venture Talos Energy has entered with the Mexican energy giant Pemex and two other partners. Leading the way, Talos engineers dropped a well in Mexican Gulf waters in 2017. The results look spectacular so far.
Dubbed the ZAMA-1, the well appears to have found possibly as much a two billion barrels of crude equivalent. Lower end estimates say the well may bring 1.4 billion. Whatever the case, once the site is developed, it promises to pump forth millions of barrels of oil over a multi-year time span. Pemex and Mexican government officials have high hopes that ZAMA-1 will prove to be a lucrative gamble.
Talos partnered with Premier Oil of the U.K. and Sierra Gas & Oil, a Latin American energy exploration company. Talos will hold a 35% share in ZAMA-1.
The project is a striking example of how Tim Duncan plans to roll out the future of his company. High-risk, high-stakes ventures, yes, but potentially mega-profitable deepwater wells in locations few others are willing to tackle.
Talos Energy is based in Houston, Texas. The Houston Chronicle named Talos as a Best Places To Work for the past four years — another accolade that Tim Duncan wears proudly as leader of his team.
Talos Energy: What A Cool Name!
Energy is the name of the game, and as the old saying goes, "may the best man win." Talos Energy is in it to win it. Of course, the same goes for everyone who goes into business doing anything. Success is always the ultimate goal. Those who can't compete go out of business. It's sad, but true. It is a tough world, and this particular tough world runs on oil.
It's safe to say that everyone alive depends on oil in some way. Virtually everything mankind manufactures today, and for quite some time now, depends on crude oil, again, in some small way. There are those who may say that agriculture is all natural and good, however, the machinery used to cultivate large crops runs on fuel. Even if the machinery didn't run on fuel, the raw materials needed to make heavy equipment, and manufacture it, require serious energy. Even the teeny tiny screws holding your cell phone together are composed of high quality steel which has to be mined and manufactured. The glass screen on your cell phone has to be melted and manufactured. Even the so called "Alternative Energy" methods require equipment that cannot even be manufactured without fossil fuel, or crude oil. For example, solar panels can't even be made without crude oil. So, even alternative energy relies on fossil fuel. It's a tough equation, but the answer is pretty much the same every time: Oil.
The entire population will throw their opinions into the ring all day long, making arguments for and against fossil fuel. The debates get heated at times (no pun intended) yet the demand for oil only ever increases. Thankfully there are great, capable people out there willing to dedicate their lives to extracting the black gold that already exists right here on the good Earth. Talos Energy is a team of staggeringly experienced people in the most important field of energy. Exploration and exploitation of the valuable resources in America are their specialty, and since we all depend on oil in one way or another, we should all be rooting for team Talos. Who else is going to get that oil, you? No, of course not. We the people only ever take advantage of energy brought to us by these very hard-working people. We complain about the prices all the time, however, I suspect that we would stop complaining so much if we had to get our own oil.
Author adminPosted on September 22, 2018 Categories Company, EnergyLeave a comment on Talos Energy: What A Cool Name!
Talos Energy is a Houston-based oil and gas company that performs offshore exploration and production. This company was founded in 2012 by Tim Duncan, John Harrison, John Parker, and Stephen Heitzman. They have a number of assets in and around the Gulf of Mexico.
Chief Executive Officer Tim Duncan says that he was in the midst of completing a $2.5 billion merger between his company and Stone Energy when Hurricane Harvey hit the Houston area. His home was flooded and so he evacuated his family out of state where they would be safe. He, however, needed to stay put in order to finish the merger negotiations. He ended up staying at his parent's house where he spent several weeks continuing to negotiate with the team at Stone Energy Company.
Tim Duncan recalls that he told himself he couldn't use Hurricane Harvey as an excuse to not getting this deal completed. He says that he worked from the kitchen table late into each night until the two parties came to an agreement. The main consequence of this deal was that, as Stone Energy was a publically traded firm, once the two companies merged Talos Energy took over the public listing.
After the merger was completed Talos Energy became a company with $900 million in annual revenues. Virtually all of their assets are in and around the Gulf of Mexico. Their balance sheet is also in great shape with $2.3 billion in assets and $700 million in debt. However, they take a high risk/high reward approach so where they drill the platforms can cost up to a few hundred million each.
Tim Duncan says that most oil drilling companies stick to the Permian shale. He says that while that is a safer bet the problem is that the wells stop producing after a few years. Where Talos Energy drills for oil it is more risky with one out of three drillings turning out to be dry. However, when oil is hit it can produce oil and gas for a decade. It is for this reason that Talos Energy has not joined the stampede to onshore drilling.

Elevate Health Celebrates Pathways Community HUB Second Anniversary
By Elevate Health April 10, 2020
Our Pathways Community HUB Model is celebrating its second anniversary! Learn about our model, the Pathways Community HUB programs we offer, successes of 2019 and milestones we've celebrated along the way. We could not have reached this milestone without the support of our partners in Pierce County. We are grateful to each of them and for their continued collaboration.
Our Pathways Community HUB Model is celebrating its second anniversary! We are proud and excited to reach this milestone, and also inspired by the health care workers and teams we've collaborated with in the last two years whose contributions have helped to make the Pathways Community HUB a success. We are grateful for your dedication, support and passion to help improve the health of our community.
According to Health Affairs, every dollar invested in community health worker programs addressing unmet social needs has a $2.47 return on investment per dollar invested within the fiscal year. The Pathways Community HUB is an evidence-based model for care coordination engaging community health workers. This model provides community-based, culturally competent, and person-centered care coordination for vulnerable, traditionally under-served Medicaid populations. This approach promotes care coordination across the continuum of health services, ensuring that people with complex health needs are connected to the interventions and services to improve and manage their health.
Community health workers are at the front line serving as liaisons between health, wellness, and social services in our community. They are a key workforce to ease client access to services by possessing a deep understanding of the communities they serve. Community-based care coordinators who participate in the Pathways Community HUB model look at everything that is getting in the way of good health outcomes including access to health care, housing, employment, safety, and education.
Pathways Community HUB Programs We Offer
To meet the needs of our community, we incorporated feedback from community members to tailor our HUB model to fit the populations in need in Pierce County. We offer 20 different Pathways to support people in our community, including:
Development Screening
Developmental Referrals
Social Service Referral
Medical Referral
Medication Assessment
Lead Education
Immunization Screening
Immunization Referral
In addition, we established two population focused programs under the Pathways model, both of which are nationally-certified programs. The first, Get Well with Wellness First, addresses Medicaid clients who have multiple chronic disease or health issues and need information or assistance around navigating the health system, including employment, educational opportunities and additional services. The second, Passage2Motherhood, connects Medicaid clients experiencing high-risk pregnancies with resources and assistance for social services, health insurance, medical home, and other services.
Successes in 2019
The top three chronic conditions the Pathways programs served were depression, anxiety disorder, and chronic pain.
The highest volume of completed Pathways, which indicates those with the highest needs were for:
Social Service Referral (37%);
Education (31%);
and Medical Referral (29%).
Moments We Celebrated Along the Way
In January of 2017, we engaged in an interactive Pathways 101 session with Sarah Redding, MD, and Founder of the Pathways Model of Care Coordination Sustainability and Director of the Pathways Community Hub Institute (PCHI). Dr. Redding shared her experience on how a community can successfully achieve the benefits of a Pathways Community HUB Model based on the needs and requirements within their own community.
In March of 2018, we launched an eight-week training course for community health workers provided by the Foundation for Healthy Generations and Washington State Department of Health; we continue to provide trainings on the Pathways model for community health workers in our community.
Passage2Motherhood and Wellness First have resulted in many success stories and impacted the lives of people in Pierce County.
In December 2019, Elevate Health's Pathways Community HUB(HUB) was recognized and certified by the Pathways Community HUB Institute (PCHI) with a Level-I designation making it the first of its kind to be certified in Washington state. This certification reflects how we meet the national standards for quality community care coordination services and are committed to pursuing excellence. Certification is also a value-add to promote the community health worker workforce and bring a clearer definition around their scope in contract to other healthcare workforce members.
Our Incredible Partners
We could not have reached this milestone without the support of our partners in Pierce County. We are grateful to each of them and for their continued collaboration.
CHI Franciscan, a comprehensive health care system, offering expert care from highly skilled providers at locations throughout the Seattle and Tacoma areas.
Community Health Care, a private, non-profit organization with a mission to provide the highest quality healthcare with compassionate and accessible service for all.

Milwaukee selected as one of 14 cities to host a Navy Week in 2018
Posted by Correspondent | Jan 21, 2018 | Curated |
The United States Navy is coming to Milwaukee, as one of the cities across America to host the naval service's signature outreach program in the coming year.
Milwaukee Navy Week is scheduled for August 6 to 12, 2018, coincident with the Wisconsin State Fair, and is designed to give area residents an opportunity to learn about the Navy, its people and its importance to national security and prosperity. The Navy plans to include the following elements in the week-long celebration:
Sailors assigned to the state's namesake ship, USS Milwaukee (LCS 5)
Navy Divers and Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal teams
Navy Band performances
Sailors from USS Constitution, the world's oldest commissioned warship afloat
Navy Medicine personnel
The Navy's new virtual reality simulator
Since 2005, the Navy Week program has served as the Navy's signature outreach effort into areas of the country which do not have a significant Navy presence, with 210 Navy Weeks held in 74 different U.S. markets.
"Navy Weeks are designed to help Americans understand why having a strong Navy is critical to the American way of life," said Cmdr. Linda Rojas, Director of the Navy Office of Community Outreach, which plans and executes the Navy Week program. "Because the Navy is concentrated primarily on both coasts, we're challenged to communicate our mission away from fleet concentration areas. That's where the Navy Week program comes in."
Navy Weeks focus a variety of outreach assets, equipment and personnel on a single city for a week-long series of engagements with key influencers and organizations representing all sectors of the market.
"During a Navy Week, approximately 75 outreach events are coordinated with corporate, civic, government, education, media, veterans, community service and diversity organizations in the city," said Lt. Cmdr. Brett Dawson, Navy Office of Community Outreach Event Planning Department Head. "We know we can't bring a ship or a submarine to Milwaukee, but we will bring in as much of the Navy as we can."

Q: How to convert plain text in segmented chunks (Bytes) in python? Is there a simple way to convert plain text into a segmented array of chunks in python? Each chunk should be for example 16 Bytes. If the last part of the plain text is smaller than 16 Bytes it should can be filled in a smaller chunk.

A: You can use the chunks method in the funcy library. An example would be:
import funcy

text = 'samplestringwithletters'
btext = text.encode('utf-8')

chunked_text = list(funcy.chunks(3,btext))
print(chunked_text)

Which yields:
[b'sam', b'ple', b'str', b'ing', b'wit', b'hle', b'tte', b'rs']

A: If you would like to achieve the same without external library then you could use bytes or bytesarray.
text = 'some text to convert in the chunks'
bin_str = bytes(text.encode('utf-8'))
n = 16 #no. of bytes for chunks
chunks = [bin_str[i:i+n] for i in range(0, len(bin_str), n)]

A day amongst the ruins.
May. 6th, 2013 at 3:38 PM
We did a lot of touristy things today, in Wales. We started with Tintern Abbey – we tried to see it in 2011, but it was raining. And raining. And raining some more. In Wales, I know. Who would have thought?
Tintern Abbey is an absolutely beautiful ruin. The scale is fantastic. Being able to look up through the roof into blue sky defines tranquility, and somehow seems right despite the fact that the building was obviously never intended to look like that. Ruins are always presented visually as creepy, but Tintern was nothing of the sort. I think it's because of the lawns that carpet the area, grass and flowers growing up between the bases of columns that have long since fallen. Tintern looks comfortable in its ruin, and welcoming. It's a place that wants you to come have a picnic and sun yourself in the grass. It's beautiful.
(It's also made from sandstone, and I had a fun time boring everyone by pointing out structures in the eroded stonework.)
Tintern in the rain had its own beauty, though.
It's just so quiet. The day we went about a year and a half ago, it was just us there. And you could hear the rain, every drop of it, pattering onto the grass and stone. I liked it then as well.
Anyway, after Tintern Abbey we went on to Cheptow Castle, which is another ruin. I honestly don't have that much to say about Cheptow, other than it sure is a castle. There were more people there, laying in the grass and throwing frisbees. There is something odd about seeing that, as an American. It seems weird to see people playing so casually around something so ancient – the castle's nearly 800 years old.
Of course that has nothing on our last stop for the day, the Roman Fortress at Caer Leon. Where a lively football/rugby match (they were kind of playing by rugby rules but using a football? Yeah, I don't know) was happening in the middle of the ruins of a nearly 2000 year old amphitheater.
But the more I think about it the more I like it. What made history in the first place was always the people. Putting something behind glass means that you can look at it, and enjoy it perhaps for the sake of art, but it becomes a thing without life, simply preserved. It feels only right that in the same place humans laughed and played 2000 years ago, we're there, bringing life to the stones that stand.

Almost half of military families do not feel connected to their local civilian communities, according to a new survey by Blue Star Families.
"Military family respondents identified increasing the availability of military spouse jobs as their top recommendation for improving a sense of belonging to their local civilian community," Blue Star Families writes in an overview.
Spouses were the group most likely to feel disconnected from their communities but tend to feel more comfortable there they longer they live there, the results indicate.
For the second year in a row, "time away from family" was families' top quality of life concern, cited by 51 percent of service members, 52 percent of spouses and 34 percent of veterans.
This is the ninth year Blue Star Families has conducted the survey.
