We know there are Corum Bubble lovers out there. In fact, there is an entire sect of what could be called "Bubble-risti" (a term only those familiar with the "Paneristi" will understand). Since the wildly outrageous Bubble watch was launched in the year 2000, the watch has achieved an almost cult-like status.
Over time, the line slowly devolved — to the chagrin of many. Then, at last year's Baselworld, Corum marked the return of the Bubble in honor of its 15th anniversary. A clamor of joy could be heard around the world and the brand knew bringing the collection back was a genius move. Since then, there have been several important new editions -but this year's may top them all.
Here at Baselworld 2016, Corum unveils the replica dazzling Bubble High Jewelry Skeleton watches — a trio of three incredibly alluring diamond- and gemstone-set Bubble watches with open-worked, ultra-thin movements that are also meticulously set with stones. The three versions are each one offs: rubies; blue sapphires; black sapphires. Baguette-cut diamonds and gemstones mark the hours, as well.
Diamond dial Corum replica watches.
In fact, each watch is set with131 brilliant-cut diamonds on the dial Corum fake watches, another 42 on the bezel, and the added colored gemstones. This means that each 18-karat gold watch is bedecked with well over 5 carats of stones — a nice workout watch for those who are lucky enough to get their hands on one of these beauties.
It is important to note, though, that not all the dazzle is in the stones. In fact, there is a lot of pizzazz under the hood, as well. The watches are powered by the CO 055 caliber — visible beneath the specially made bubbled sapphire crystal. The skeletonized movement has been meticulously reduced to the barest minimum of metal — all by hand.
That tiny bit of exposed metal is then finely engraved and finished in a floral motif, complemented by the open-worked barely that forms the famed Corum key logo. Each watch retails for more than $150,000 and is guaranteed to be a sure-fire collector item.

This is a good thing. I have been familiar with the Corum lady's replica watches line for more than 30 years (since I have been writing about the watch and jewelry industry), and am happy to say that a host of true "collector" lines have emerged from this brand and made history. I remember back in the 1980's speaking to then owner, Jean-Rene Bannwart about the newest collections of Coin watches, and Admirals' Cup watches. He spoke at length about the meteorite dials and the high-jeweled watches the brand was making. Like a proud father, he had great –and well-founded — hopes for the brand. The brand has become synonymous — and famous — for watches such as the Delirium (the thinnest mechanical of its time), and the much-loved Golden Bridge.

I recently picked up a little canoe made of "chopper gun" fiberglass mat, and along the keel at the ends there is some pretty decent bangs, nicks, chunks and cracks in the gel coat, as in the photos. So, I'm looking for advice on how to maintain this type of wear.
I'd be tempted just to smush some GFlex into the cracks and then cover with a layer of cloth?
If chips/chunks require filling I suppose I could use some cloth in epoxy to build those up, but I suspect they might pop out pretty easily. I don't really want to do a bunch of glassing over the keel. I'd like to keep any additional cloth & resin to a minimum, so may just leave the chips.
I don't want to do any repairs that aren't necessary, but I'm not familiar enough with a boat like this to judge what's needed - looks like some of the chunks & cracks could lead to leaks, or possibly to larger pieces of the gel coat coming off? So, I don't need to repair ever little crack, but I also don't want it to start leaking and falling apart.
Thanks for any advice on 1) whether this needs repair, and 2) how to do a repair of these gel coat chips & cracks.
I am no expert, nor have I played one on TV.
But here is what I'd do.
Those big deep cracks I'd take a dremel and open them up wider just a bit to expose clean/new material and to give the epoxy a little more room to get in there. And sand everything lightly that's going to get epoxy, and tape around it all to mask it out.
Then basically do what you suggested. Some of the big chips like the one on the left in the 2nd picture I'd be tempted to cut a piece of cloth small and then test it to stuff it in there, then wet it with epoxy and stuff it in for real. The epoxy as per above.
I would... take a dremel to the cracks to clean them up, blow clean with compressed air, mix epoxy with microballoons and putty knife into the cracks and reform any needed profiles, once hardened lightly sand and apply two coats of epoxy for a smooth and tough finish, and then paint it.
You could... clean out the cracks anyway possible (drill, sander, screwdriver, etc...), blow it clean, mix epoxy or fiberglass with belt sander dust to the consistency of peanut butter, putty knife into the cracks and reform any needed profiles, paint it and paddle.
So, filling the cracks and "painting" with epoxy should be good, no need to overlay any cloth.
I had the same problem rebuilding a Scamper this summer. Ground out the crack, filled with putty, sand & paint.

Paul Leonard Kogeldans (born 28 June 1930), known as Leo Kogeldans, is a former Surinamese footballer and manager who has played for V.V. Ajax and S.V. Voorwaarts in the Surinamese Hoofdklasse, and for VVV-Venlo in the Dutch Eredivisie. He also played for the Suriname national team. After his career he was manager of Dutch amateur club V.C.H.

He is the father of former professional footballer Ruben Kogeldans.

Career

VV Ajax
Kogeldans was born in the Frimangron neighborhood of Paramaribo, Suriname, a neighborhood known for producing top athletes. He began his football career playing on the Mr. Bronsplein where he was picked up by V.V. Ajax, playing in the Hoofdklasse. Ajax played barefoot at the time, and Kogeldans soon became known for his dribbling skills and goal scoring abilities. The top clubs in the country were eager to sign the young player, but it was talent scout Frits Juda who had convinced Kogeldans to sign with S.V. Voorwaarts instead.

SV Voorwaarts
Kogeldans joined SV Voorwaarts at age 18. He was an affective goal scorer, scoring a hat-trick in a 6-5 win against MVV in his first year with the club. In 1949 he was called up for the Suriname national team based on his performance. He helped Voorwaarts to win two national championships in 1952 and in 1957, before departing for the Netherland.

VVV-Venlo
In 1957, Kogeldans relocated to Venlo, Netherlands signing with VVV-Venlo. He scored another hat-trick in his first match with the club in a friendly against German club TSV 1860 München. Kogeldans went on to play two full seasons with VVV, helping the club to a 7th-place finish on the league table in both seasons. He was the first footballer of the African diaspora to play professionally for VVV-Venlo.

International career
Kogeldans made his debut for the Suriname national team in 1949. He made a total 15 appearances for the first team before departing for the Netherlands.

Managerial career
After his playing career Kogeldans managed Dutch amateur club V.C.H. (Voetbal Club Horsterweg) from Venlo.

Personal life
On 7 February 1957, Kogeldans married Eveline Pinas, having four children together. His son Ruben Kogeldans played professional football for VVV-Venlo and Willem II before his untimely death on 7 June 1989 aboard the Surinam Airways Flight 764 which crashed during approach to Paramaribo.

Q: Is passing a service reference to another service layer bad practice? I've got a C# MVC application that I break up in the following way:
View -> Controller -> Service -> Repository
I use the thin controller practice with each view having a unique view model that's returned from the relevant service.
Quick Example:
View: /NewAppointment/Step1
Its controler would look like this:
public ActionResult Step1()
{
  return View(_appointmentService.Step1GetModel() );
}

And the appointment service layer would look like this:
public Step1Model Step1GetModel()
{
  return new Step1Model();
}

Thus I have several different service layers in use through out my application, each implementing a distinct interface.
My question comes in when I need to have one service layer interact with another service layer. In this case, is it better practice to pass an interface reference to the service call, or should I let the controller handle collecting all the data and then pass the relevant results back to the service?
Example:
Say I want to populate my view model with the customer's information by default. The two ways I see of doing this are:
Pass an customer interface reference to the appointment service, and then let the appointment service call the appropriate GetCustomer method in the customer service...
In Code:
 private ICustomerService _customerService;
 private IAppointmentService _appointmentService;

 public ActionResult Step1()
 {
   var viewModel = _appointmentService.Step1GetModel( _customerService );
   return View(viewModel);
 }

OR
Let the controller handle the logic of getting the customer, then pass that result to the appointment service.
In Code:
private ICustomerService _customerService;
private IAppointmentService _appointmentService;

public ActionResult Step1()
{
    var customer = _customerService.GetCustomer();
    var viewModel = _appointmentService.Step1GetModel( customer );
    return View(viewModel);
}

I'm torn as to which would be better practice. The first keeps the controller nice and thin, but creates an inter-service dependency between the appointment service and the customer service. The second puts more logic into the controller, but keeps the services totally independent.
Anyone have thoughts as to which would be better practice?
Thanks~

A: Thinking about his purely conceptually I don't think it makes sense for your services to know anything about your view models.  One of the main reasons to have a controller in the first place is to separate out your view logic from your business logic, but if your services are returning view specific data then they're inherently tied to your business logic.
Ideally I'd expect the method to look like this:
public ActionResult Step1()
{
    var customer = _customerService.GetCustomer();
    var appointment = _appointmentService.GetAppointmentFor(customer);

    var viewModel = new Step1ViewModel(customer, appointment);

    return View(viewModel);
}

To answer your question more directly though, I think it's fine for your services to know about each other, they're part of the same conceptually layer.
Also, one more thing...
It sounds like you have a lot of parallel class hierarchies what with having services, repositories and controllers.  It might make more sense to use something like the unit of work pattern and a powerful ORM to do something like:
public MyController(IUnitOfWork unitOfWork)...

public ActionResult Step1()
{
    var customer = unitOfWork.Find<Customer>();
    var viewModel = new Step1ViewModel(customer.Appointment);
    return View(viewModel);
}

After all, the value of your application is in the model, not in the services.

I have some personal matters to attend to today but will see how much it costs to buy more downloads so that people aren't waiting. You have until the end of the month to download. Just please be patient with the links and illl check it out as soon as I can today.
Thank you so much for another wonderful event! I'm so glad I got to participate this year! I got 11 pages done and I think my scrapping mojo is finally back. Thank you also to the designers, such beautiful work in the kit!
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! This was my first time participating and it was so much fun. The gifts were amazing and I got so much scrapping done!
I am heading out of the house here in a few minutes. I upgraded my Dropbox for the month because it was only $20 to do so, but now I don't know where my links are in the this new dashboard for Dropbox!
Please be patient with me. I have to leave for a little bit for a doctor appointment and will try to deal with this once I get back home.
If you could let me know if you are able to download or not, I'd appreciate it because at this point, I don't know what I'm doing with this new interface of Dropbox.
I'm still getting 'too many requests, this link has been turned off' messages for the parts I received, Wendy, at this current moment.
If I can't get it working, I'll redo the files to a smaller size and upload everything to box.
Got them with the new links.

Vascular endothelial growth factor-A is a survival factor for nucleus pulposus cells in the intervertebral disc

The intervertebral disc (IVD) is composed of two avascular tissue types, the nucleus pulposus (NP) and the annulus fibrosus (AF). IVDs is the largest avascular tissue in the human body, however, how these tissues are maintained without a blood supply is poorly understood. Here we show that vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) is highly expressed in NP and that VEGF-A plays a role in NP survival. High VEGF-A expression in NP was detected by microarray analysis, and NP was positive for the hypoxic probe pimonidazole and hypoxia-responsive genes. VEGF-A expression in NP was promoted by hypoxic conditions in vitro. NP cells also expressed the membrane-bound VEGF receptor-1 (VEGFR-1), and the number of apoptotic cells in cultured cell model of NP increased following treatment with VEGFR-1-Fc, which traps VEGF-A in NP. These results indicate that NP is a hypoxic tissue, and that VEGF-A functions in NP survival in an autocrine/paracrine manner.

The Portuguese star will debut in the Asian country in a friendly against PSG with the Riyahd Seasonteam made up of players from Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr. The match will 37th time in which the two great cracks of the last two decades come face to face.
PSG, great favorites for the duel, arrives at the match after being defeated last weekend against Stade Rennes 1-0. The Parisians, even so, remain leaders of the league 1although they have Lens just three points away. Messi, Neymar and Mbappé They face the clash with a certain desire to revalidate after their recent performance.
The Riyahd Seasonon the rival side, has been the name chosen to designate the team that will bring together the greatest cracks of the Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal. How could it be less, Cristiano Ronaldo will be the captain of said combination. The Portuguese crack has recently reached Saudi Arabia, but his debut with his new team has not been able to take place yet due to The sanction that 7 drags for throwing the phone of a fan of the Everton last April at Old Trafford.
The duel will take place from 6:00 p.m. at King Fahd Stadium and arouses the attention of the entire football world. Cristiano Ronaldo against Leo Messi.

chaperones and the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) play an important part in
chaperones and the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) play an important part in handling soluble abnormal polypeptides that arise as a result of misfolding damage or mutations. neuronal populations happen due to build up of certain irregular polypeptides which can form insoluble SCH 900776 aggregates (for review observe (Sherman and Goldberg 2001)). Recently it was discovered that unique machinery has developed that transports small protein aggregates inside a microtubules-dependent manner to the centrosome forming an organelle called aggresome (Chung et al. 2001 Corboy et al. 2005). The aggresome serves as a storage compartment for protein aggregates and could be actively involved in their refolding and degradation. In fact major chaperones like Hsp70 or Hsp27 and components of the UPS are recruited to the aggresome (Ahn and Jeon 2006 Garcia-Mata et al. 1999 Kovacs et al. 2006 McNaught et al. 2002). Furthermore recently it was shown that autophagic clearance of protein aggregates also happens in association with the aggresome (Garcia-Mata et al. 2002 Olzmann and Chin 2008 Pankiv et al. 2007). There is a notion in the field that aggresome formation represents a protecting cellular response to a buildup of aggregating irregular polypeptides under the conditions when chaperones and UPS machineries fail to handle irregular varieties (Olzmann and Chin 2008 Tanaka et al. 2004). Indeed it was reported that there is a close correlation between aggresome formation and cell survival (Taylor et al. 2003). Furthermore toxicity of irregular proteins is strongly enhanced by inhibition of the microtubule-dependent transport which is required for aggresome formation. In line with this SCH 900776 concept inhibition of aggresome formation was recently suggested as an approach to enhance the cytotoxicity of proteasome inhibitors to facilitate their anti-cancer activity (Nawrocki et al. 2006 Piazza et al. 2007). Beside aggresome formation additional protein SCH 900776 aggregation pathways also appear to exist COL18A1 in mammalian cells. For example mutant glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) expressed in cells seems to be unable to form aggresomes and usually forms small multiple aggregates all around the cytoplasm (Quinlan et al. 2007). In another example we have recently demonstrated that while synphilin 1 a protein associated with Parkinson's disease forms aggresome its mutant form lacking an ankyrin repeat domain can only form multiple cytoplasmic aggregates (Zaarur et al. 2008). To understand the aggresome response it is critical to use clear mechanistic criteria of aggresomes. The characteristic features of aggresome that discriminate them from other types of protein aggregates include the microtubules-dependence of aggresome formation and its co-localization with the centrosome. A number of factors have been implicated in aggresome formation. For example a microtubule-associated histone deacetylase HDAC6 was shown to interact with cytoplasmic aggregates of ubiquitinated SCH 900776 proteins via its ubiquitin-binding BUZ domain and facilitate their association with the dynein motor protein that drives this cargo to the aggresome (Kawaguchi et al. 2003). Additional proteins are likely involved in aggresome formation e also.g. PLIC ataxin 3 (Burnett and Pittman 2005 Heir et al. 2006) p62/sequestosome (Donaldson et al. 2003 Lim et al. 2005 Seibenhener et al. 2004) and Parkin (Lim et al. 2006). However our current understanding of the systems of aggresome development is quite limited. Among the main queries in the field are: (we) the way the aggresome equipment recognizes proteins aggregates and distinguishes them from monomeric irregular protein; (ii) how these aggregates are recruited to microtubules; (iii) how little aggregates in the aggresome are held collectively; (iv) how aggresome development suppresses the toxicity of proteins aggregates. Among the methods to address these relevant queries is always to identify elements from the aggresome-forming abnormal polypeptide. We have created an innovative way for isolation of aggresomes and other styles of aggregates employing a lately established yeast style of aggresome development (Wang 2007). With this model we utilized like a substrate a.

History Ibuprofen treatment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) has been proven
History Ibuprofen treatment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) has been proven to be as effectual as indomethacin in little randomized controlled tests with possibly fewer undesireable effects. the final treatment. Pre-treatment suggest creatinine and urine result values were in comparison to treatment and post treatment means using 2-element repeated actions ANOVA. Outcomes 165 individuals had been treated with indomethacin (2005-2006) and 185 received ibuprofen (2007-2008). There is no difference between treatment groups in baseline or demographics renal function. For both groups the amount of treatment courses was correlated with birth weight and gestational age inversely. Analysis from the 1st program including all individuals revealed significant Rabbit polyclonal to HNRNPM. upsurge in creatinine and reduction in urine result with both medicines with a far more pronounced aftereffect of indomethacin on creatinine. In the subgroup of 219 individuals who received only 1 treatment program there was a substantial upsurge in creatinine after indomethacin however not after ibuprofen. In the 131 who received 2 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine or even more programs the reduction in urine result and upsurge in creatinine weren't different between medicines. There have been significant lowers in urine result observed in the next and third programs of ibuprofen treatment (both by 0.9 mL/kg/hr). Summary Both drugs possess an identical short-term influence on renal function. Indomethacin got 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine a far more prominent preliminary impact while ibuprofen reduced renal function through the second and third programs much like indomethacin. The adjustments in renal function noticed with ibuprofen treatment is highly recommended in liquid and electrolyte administration particularly if treatment beyond one program is required. History Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common occurrence in very low birth weight (VLBW ≤1500 g) infants which often causes significant morbidities. Left-to-right shunting through the ductus may increase the risk of intraventricular hemorrhage [1 2 necrotizing enterocolitis [3] bronchopulmonary dysplasia and death [4 5 Successful pharmacological closure of PDA with indomethacin was first reported in 1976 with subsequent reports that indomethacin reduced neonatal morbidity [6 7 However indomethacin may lead to complications such as transient or permanent renal dysfunction [8 9 necrotizing enterocolitis and reduced cerebral oxygenation [10]. These indomethacin-related complications have prompted researchers to seek safer pharmacological treatment for closure of PDA. In recent years another cyclooxygenase inhibitor ibuprofen has been proposed for the treatment of PDA and several randomized controlled trials have shown it to be as efficacious as indomethacin with possibly fewer adverse effects [11]. It is thought that ibuprofen is better tolerated due to less effects on renal function renal and mesenteric blood flow [12-14] and cerebral blood flow [15]. Adverse effects of ibuprofen have been noted in some trials [16] and suspected in our practice. This difference might be due to the fact that the infants in the previous trials were more mature (gestational age ~28 weeks) than the age of the infants at best risk for PDA (younger than 26 weeks); thus it is difficult to extrapolate the clinical effects observed in those trials to the younger and unselected 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine population typically treated in the clinical care context. Our primary objective was to ascertain whether ibuprofen and indomethacin treatment of 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine PDA have comparable effects on renal function as evidenced by urine output and serum creatinine during routine 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine clinical usage. Methods Study design This was a retrospective cohort study with a hypothesis that ibuprofen and indomethacin treatment of PDA have comparable effects on renal function as evidenced by urine result and serum creatinine. In Oct 2006 Neonatology personnel turned from indomethacin to ibuprofen as the medication of preference for treatment of PDA. The cohort of neonates treated with indomethacin from January 2005 to Oct 2006 was in comparison to those treated with ibuprofen from Oct 2006 through Dec 2008. The analysis was accepted by the Institutional Review Panel from the Albany INFIRMARY and exempted from needing informed consent. Individual inhabitants Records were evaluated for.

The Great War remembered
What might seem familiar to one generation often seems a surprising omission to the next, so actress Belinda Lang, who you might remember from the 90s television series (or not, if you're very young) 2.4 Children makes a valid point about Forgotten Voices. This new adaptation of Max Arthur's book by Malcolm McKay uses actual transcripts of survivors of the First World War, who were interviewed by the officials at the Imperial War Museum in their old age.
Some of the stories of mud, pointless attacks, football across no man's land during an unofficial armistice and the culpable naiveté of the officers in command might seem familiar, yet there's a function they can fulfil. 'There have been parties of children and young people in to see the play, who knew nothing of this war,' says Lang. 'Their response to what we're doing has been amazing.' But there's more for audiences of an older generation to learn, too, for one thing, the origins of these semi-mythical events in real, living breathing folk. 'Also,' Lang adds, 'who knew that the Daily Mail called the Christmas football match treasonous shortly after?' It's an eye opener that promises a strong emotional register.

IZTHMI "Leaving This World, Leaving It All Behind"
Review By: Lord Randall
IZTHMI's been practicing the dark arts for just over five years now, and yes, they're from Washington state, but don't let that mislead you into writing the quintet off as some WITR clone of the "Cascadian" black metal "scene".
After the whispered delivery of 'Ever Beneath His Gaze (He Will Drown The World In His Tears)', 'The Shadows Of Our Disillusionment' begins "Leaving This World, Leaving It All Behind" proper. The guitar tone immediately sets apart IZTHMI, being almost mechanical at times, yet shot through with super-clean lead phrases. While it'll make a good many BM purists cringe or grouse, some will find it refreshing, myself being one. Around 2/3 of the way through the song's ten-plus minutes we're tumbled into an almost PINK FLOYD-ian final segment [think a more ominous 'Echoes'], doomed up.
'To Know' is a piano/keys interlude, chanting in the background, acting as a conduit to the gentle fingerpicking leading off 'The Laughable Semblance Of Freedom', and here's another element that will separate fans; if you're looking for clean singing it's not happening here, not even in the sections one would think it "should" fit. This results in abrasive, charred vocals over what is obviously very skillfully played mellow moments. Again, these ears are refreshed. The most traditional sounding entry here, 'It's As If It Were' brings to mind early LIGHTNING SWORDS OF DEATH, but dialed up to 11, oppressive and churning.
While I feel the band needs to work a bit more on true song arrangement, and the album gets a bit cluttered (not in a good way) at times, it's clear they're looking for something. Though there's a bit of meandering and a bit of "Why? Because we can." at play here, after two solid enough albums, IZTHMI have got me looking to the third before I make my final determination. Patiently waiting.

Asian-Indian Community Collaboration investing in a STEM-focused future for Peoria
WCBU | By Jordan Mead
AICCP
The Asian Indian Community Collaboration of Peoria is a group of Asian-Indian Peorians who are committed to drawing more people to the city and lifting up current residents' talents through philanthropy.
Peoria may need to consider adding more STEM-related employment opportunities to combat its drop in population. At least, that's what the Asian Indian Community Collaboration of Peoria is hoping to see in the city's future.
The Asian Indian Community Collaboration of Peoria, or AICCP for short, is a group of Asian-Indian Peorians who are committed to drawing more people to Peoria and lifting up current residents' talents through philanthropy.
Sri Vuppuluri is an officer for the AICCP, and he has lived in Peoria for roughly 40 years since moving from India. Vuppuluri worked for Caterpillar and had his own information technology consulting business before retiring.
Vuppuluri said AICCP was created as an "umbrella organization" in 2019 after many Peoria-area Asian Indian community members came together to focus on their philanthropic and volunteer efforts.
"We are not native Peorians to begin with, but we came here, and we like the place. We like what we saw. We have done well, and we would like to see Peoria do well too," Vuppuluri said.
Vuppuluri said AICCP supports Easter Seals, St. Jude, the Center for the Prevention of Blindness, the Center for Prevention of Abuse and more.
"The city is going through a lot of crises, a lot of challenges with poverty, with the food shortages, with lack of support for important institutions. We are trying to fill in the gaps where we can," Vuppuluri said.

Kamlesh Macwan is another AICCP officer who has lived in Peoria for 35 years. Macwan is a neonatologist at OSF St. Francis.
Macwan said, "Now, Caterpillar is leaving the town, but we can't really sit on that and say 'well, this is the end of Peoria,' which it's probably not. So, we have many other things to kind of work on. So, we look at what is called public service."
Macwan said the AICCP has partnered with Peoria city hall, the mayor and the Economic Development Council to boost AICCP's goals for Peoria.
Macwan said, "Philanthropy and the public service all goes together. I think that one has to compliment the other, and the same way, it goes both ways. So, when we started putting things together, we realized our community is doing a lot of work with a lot of different areas: education, providing food, shelters, clothing, those kind of things."

So, when we started putting things together, we realized our community is doing a lot of work with a lot of different areas: education, providing food, shelters, clothing, those kind of things."
Kamlesh Macwan, AICCP officer
Both Vuppuluri and Macwan said each person in the organization brings their own unique career interests and areas of expertise to the table to improve Peoria's future.
Vuppuluri said, "90 to 95% of our community has at least a graduate degree. I would say that maybe 30 to 40% would probably have post-graduate qualifications like Ph.Ds. or M.D.s or other qualifications. So, we are a fairly literate, academically fairly advanced community. So, we have a pool of talent of various kinds: engineering, design, technology. So, we have a lot of brain power that can be put to good use for the city."
Vuppuluri said the focus of AICCP is not so much what they're doing today, but the potential for Peoria to become something bigger in the future.
"We see potential for growth, for improvement, for a lot of good things. So, Peoria is not the pits that people thought it would be after Caterpillar lifted out. So, we have a very positive outlook on what can happen over here. We see the population, we see the commitment, we see the resources. We have a good appreciation of what we have, and this is also our home," Vuppuluri said.
Peoria's population is declining at a rate of -0.16% each year according to World Population Review. From 2010 to 2020, it went down by -0.33%.
The AICCP believes making the community of Peoria better starts with service and investing in the lives of residents. The AICCP volunteers through Adopt A Highway, ImpactLife, Peoria Joint Commission on Racial Justice and Equity and more.
Vuppuluri said Peoria needs community-wide revitalization, but that doesn't just mean investing money into the city to build new
"It's a change in the people's attitudes and their perceptions, and you make them understand, make them realize, that there is more out there than be bogged down with the problems that we see every day. Yes, we have crime," Vuppuluri said. "Yes, we have deprivation. Yes, we have problems. There is poverty. There is a lot of stuff going on, but those are not endemic to Peoria."
Since 2019, the AICCP has raised $100,000 for the Dining Room at Ronald McDonald House, raised $5.5 million for EasterSeals, and supported Crittenton Center Crisis Nursery, among other philanthropic efforts.
Medicine and STEM-related change
AICCP believes that increasing opportunities in Biotechnology, medicine, technical talent, science and IT will create a stronger future for Peoria.
"STEM education is a critical aspect of today's workforce. Everyone needs to have STEM skills. So, we are trying to build that by mentoring students, by coaching them, by giving them ideas on how to do math. We do not believe in saying that math is difficult. That is not the way to do it. We like to encourage people. We want to teach them, coach them that 'this is how you do it, and these are the vital skills that we need to bring fresh air into our communities,'" Vuppuluri said.
The AICCP believes bringing in more technology-based businesses to Peoria will draw more people to want to live and work in the community. (From left) Councilmember Sid Ruckriegel, owner of Pringle Robotics Sudheer Sajja, Peoria Mayor Rita Ali, and Councilmember Kiran Velpula are standing with the Pringle Robotics' robotic solution product.
Macwan said with Peoria's growing medical community through OSF HealthCare and UnityPoint Health Methodist, he's hopeful that AICCP can partner with the City of Peoria to create a Biotech Hub.
Macwan said he also hopes to see the Illinois Biotech industry partner with Peoria area medical facilities and universities to offer revamped STEM-based curriculums and draw in more young adults.
Vuppuluri said he sees a bright future for psychiatric and behavioral health advancements and for the Cancer Center as a major Hub in Illinois.
"If we build the right infrastructure, it is possible that companies may want to invest in Peoria and start doing some start up work so that they can profit from all the resources and all the expertise that the community has," Vuppuluri said.
Both Vuppuluri and Macwan said companies like VirtuSense and Pringles Robotics are examples of how STEM-related investments will draw more people to Peoria. Both companies use robotics and artificial intelligence to improve medical practices.
AICCP also invests in educational opportunities for Peoria-area youth.
The Project Phoenix initiative reports that the 61605 area code in Peoria faces an unemployment rate of 44.9% and a poverty rate of 44.1%.
Macwan said education is the reason why they are here, and the AICCP's 'Education to Employment' program serves to give Peoria-area high school students exposure to different careers while giving them opportunities to learn on the field.
Macwan helps lead the Education to Employment program. He said students interested in technology, medical technology, becoming an EMT, phlebotomy and more can be exposed to these careers through this program.
"Education is not the end of it. Education has to lead to the employment," Macwan said.
The AICCP and Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh of Peoria organized a Book Fair at Trewyn School where 700 books were sold at discounted prices to more than 250 students.
The goal is to help youth acquire job skills and expand their educational opportunities to help inspire a diverse set of future professionals in Peoria.
AICCP has worked with more than 5,000 students in STEM related classes and programs and has tutored students as young as grade school all the way to University of Illinois College of Medicine students. AICCP has also organized a discounted book fair and an EMT training experience for kids in Peoria Elite program, to name some of AICCP's efforts.
Macwan said for high school students interested in a technology-focused career, Illinois Central College's plans to establish an IT workforce training program in the Peoria area may be the answer. ICC will receive more than $14.6 million in funding for this program.
Peoria's Future
Vuppuluri said Peoria has come a long way…. but it's time for Peoria to focus more on how the medical community can improve economic opportunities and the qualities of life for Peorians.
"…instead of focusing on problems, look ahead and see the potential. What can Peoria be? It is not that critical as to what is happening today. We are bogged down in the present at the cost of the future. The future is a different kind of future," Vuppuluri said.
Vuppuluri said Peoria's future has to be technology driven, meaning fiberoptics, strengthening education, and focusing on technology-based medical practices.
"Suppose we have a thousand engineers who are really good in IT or any other fields sitting in Peoria. Would there be any company that would look to anywhere else to set up an office? They would all run to Peoria pretty much like Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley was a success because at one point, they had a huge amount of talent. Why can't that talent take root in Peoria?" Vuppuluri said.
"I mean there is no reason all the kids who go to schools over here, who go to colleges over here, where will they go when they're finished? I mean they will probably leave town and go somewhere else. Why? Because we are not able to give them employment. What do we do to retain all that talent and make Peoria a better place?"
Sri Vuppuluri, AICCP officer
Vuppuluri said this will only happen if there is community wide support for Peoria's youth and professionals in medical or technology-related professionals.
"I mean there is no reason all the kids who go to schools over here, who go to colleges over here, where will they go when they're finished? I mean they will probably leave town and go somewhere else. Why? Because we are not able to give them employment. What do we do to retain all that talent and make Peoria a better place?" Vuppuluri said.
Vuppuluri said this all begins with people being more open to technology and being willing to give back to the community of Peoria now for a better future.

The bridal session with Lacee was photographed at the Arboretum in Wilmington NC. There were so many directions we could have went with this bridal session as Lacee and her dress were amazing. Lacey wanted a style or look that was ethereal.
To achieve this look it was a two part process. First was creating the look with Lacee on location. The second was creating a picture style. The key element tot the picture style was all about color and light.


The doctrine of justification and the debates of the last half century, by David Starling.
David Starling lives in Sydney, Australia, with his wife Nicole and their four children, and teaches New Testament at Morling College. He worked as a high school English teacher before completing theological studies and serving as a pastor in Sydney's inner-western suburbs. He is currently writing commentaries on Colossians, Ephesians and 1 Corinthians.
1. We have often though of justification as the doctrine by which the church stands or falls. Is that what David is arguing for? Why/why not?
2. Tom Wright says "Paul's doctrine [of justification] is more about ecclesiology than about soteriology." Having read David's article, how would you respond to that?
3. "How can I find mercy from God?" Is that just a sixteenth century question? From what you know of the New Testament, it a first century question? And is it a 21st century question? So what?


Maybe I was born this way or maybe I grew up watching too much Indiana Jones. Whatever the case, I tend to spend way too much time looking up and fantasizing about cheap adventure ideas.
Being the broke runaway that I am, the adventures that always catch my eye are those that are cheap. They are adventures that can be done no matter what the budget. They are also adventures that are relatively long-term, epic and span across the entire world.
Although I have done a few of the adventures listed below, most of them I hope to embark on in the future. If you want any advice on any of the ideas here or need help planning an awesome adventure of your own, you can connect with me on Facebook at The Runaway Guide. Get inspired, get informed, and go for it!
If you don't have any bunions or corns and you've got good pair of sneakers, walking the world is the way to go. Countless travelers from Jesus to Ibn Battutah have taken to the road with nothing but thin leather tongs strapped to their feet. The slow pace and chance for random encounters makes walking one of best mediums for epic adventures. Below are 5 popular walking, hiking, and hitching ideas for an adventure on the cheap.
El Camino De Santiago, the way of Santiago or Saint James, has been one of the most popular Christian pilgrimages since Medieval times. The journey begins in the French Pyrenees and ends in western Spain at the city of Santiago De Compostela. The trail is well marked and there are many lodges along the way. On top of that, friendly locals will often invite weary travelers to their homes for a meal and a glass of wine. El Camino De Santiago is not just an epic hike through the palatial Pyrenees but also a spiritual journey for Christians and non-Christians alike. Check out this film for insight into the walk, The Way.
Europe is without a doubt the safest and easiest region to hitchhike around. It is an adventure that will allow you to get to know the locals and truly experience the countryside. However some countries are harder to hitch in than others. While France, Spain, and much of Eastern Europe are hitchhiker friendly, in Italy, England, and Germany, you may spend most of your time walking. For more information, be sure to check out A Guide To Hitchhiking.
The Appalachian Trail spans from the state of Maine to Georgia. At 2,200 miles, it is one of the largest unbroken treks in the USA. During the summer months, hundreds of North and South Bounders attempt to walk the entire distance. It is an ultimate hiking adventure and one that will surely test your endurance and wilderness survival skills. Bill Bryson has a great memoir about the trail called A Walk in the Woods .
If you truly want to experience Africa, as a traveler and not a tourist, the best way to do it is on foot. There is no adventure more dangerous but also more exciting and enlightening. For a first hand account, check out The Perils of Hitchhiking Ethiopia. Or How To Survive Hitchhiking In Africa.
Mt. Fuji is the volcano of volcanoes. At over 12,000 feet, the Japanese have revered Fuji-san for millennia as a gateway between heaven and earth. While it takes 10 hours to the top, the view of the rising sun is totally worth it. It is an adventure that will give you great insight into Japan and it's people. The best part is, it's not as expensive as you might think. You can buy tours that include round trip bus tickets from Tokyo and even hot spring passes for around 75$. That's cheaper than just buying buss tickets. For cheap travel info on Japan, check out Run Away To Japan.
In terms of awesome train rides, you should try the Mauritanian Iron Ore Train…the longest train in the world and it's FREE!
Hey John, thanks for sharing. That train ride looks awesome! I'm definitely going to do it one day. Cheers!
Haha, me too! Sugar cane juice! Thanks Alexandra!
Wow this is 6 pages of crazy ideas! Super post Leif! Bookmarking this one for sure.
Nice one man! Totally bookmarking this!


Put forth by debtor advocacy groups and circulated on dubious consumer-debt chat forums, this erroneous proposition alleges that a creditor's assignment of credit card receivables signifies that the creditor is no longer the real party in interest to any debt obligation created by the account. Pro se debtor-litigants, and often debtor-counsels, either misunderstand this practice or seek to confuse Courts intentionally through references to an arcane process. Their central theory posits that the securitization of receivables is the legal equivalent of selling the entire credit card account. Creditor-attorneys must remain vigilant against this argument premised solely on obfuscation. Each time this argument arises, an opportunity emerges to educate the Courts about the securitization process and the type of ownership interest retained by their clients in the underlying accounts.
For those unfamiliar with this practice, securitization in this context is a process by which large credit card issuers convert the expectation of incoming cash (i.e. receivables) into immediate capital. Credit card issuers will pool credit card receivables from various credit card accounts into a large portfolio and transfer this portfolio into a special purpose vehicle (usually a trust). This trust then issues collateral certificates backed by the cash flow of those pooled receivables. In turn, a second trust (often called a qualified special purpose entity or issuance trust) will then sell notes at a public offering to investors using these collateral certificates as surety to enhance the value of the notes.
The card issuers continue to service the accounts: send out monthly bills, deposit payments, forward relevant consumer notices, and will retain the right to modify/adjust terms of the accounts. The card issuers also supply the accounts with new credit so long as the balance remains under a specified credit limit. With such continuing rights, duties, and obligations in the underlying account as evidence, it is clear that card issuers maintain ownership of the account and as such have standing to bring a collections action.
This is precisely what the Third Circuit's opinion found in the recent Scott decision. The Court held that the debtor "misapprehends the effect of securitizing a credit card receivable" and went on to note that "[t]he courts that have considered the effect of securitizing credit card receivables are all in agreement that it does not divest the issuer of its ownership interest in the credit card accounts." Scott Id. Appx. 56 (emphasis added).
Moreover, the governing language of most pooling trusts contain provisions stating that once the underlying credit account defaults, the receivables associated with that account revert to the originating creditor. This was true for the trust at issue in the Scott decision. Others trusts reserve for the originating creditor the express right to bring suit to collect on any defaulted account receivable.
While most litigation on defaulted credit card accounts lack significant complication, the utility of the securitization defense for debtor-litigants arises in the appearance of complication through reference to an esoteric process. Collections attorneys must be diligent when confronted with the securitization defense. This means that the collection attorney must first understand the securitization process utilized by a particular creditor and then be prepared to explain that process to a trial court in a clear and straightforward manner.
As the Scott decision shows, Courts who carefully consider these issues are likely to hand a clear and unambiguous defeat to litigants proffering misdirection as a legal defense. And, as more quality arguments are heard by Courts, the securitization defense will have less value as a means of confusion.
 This disposition is not an opinion of the full Third Circuit Court and does not constitute binding precedent but should nevertheless be persuasive.
