On the Right Path
Take the Care Net Banquet Challenge. You won't regret it.
Have You Seen Us at the DMV?

The Elizabeth House
"You put me on the right path and helped me get through a time when I didn't have much support. You are like a second family to me."
How You Changed Jade's Life
Jade* was worried and incredibly nervous. Her family relationships were difficult and she wasn't sure how much longer she'd have a place to live. And now Jade was pregnant. How would she share her news? How would she cope? "It was not the best time for me," she said.
When Jade came to our clinic, a nurse confirmed her pregnancy and provided an ultrasound. And that was when Jade started to feel that something was changing.
When Jade first met her baby boy via ultrasound, she found it "unreal." "Words couldn't describe how I felt. The ultrasound was life-changing."
"Words couldn't describe how I felt. It was unreal," Jade remembered. "They did the ultrasound when I was only six weeks. I thought 'Wow!' I couldn't believe you could see the baby that early. The ultrasound was life-changing."
Jade recalled feeling welcomed and comfortable at First Care Clinic. "Everyone was so friendly and so caring. They helped me figure out how to talk to my family. And they helped me with so many practical things too like getting health insurance so I could have prenatal care."
Childbirth classes and parenting education were two things that Jade especially valued.
"First Care Clinic helped me learn things I needed to know to be a good parent. I didn't know much about caring for a baby before I started taking the classes. I was a little afraid at first but they helped me feel ready to be a good mom."
Housing was one of Jade's most critical concerns and we helped her there too. A staff member talked with Jade about her housing needs and helped her fill out an application for The Elizabeth House.
Once she moved in, Jade quickly discovered that being a resident at The Elizabeth House was about so much more than having a stable place to live. "I liked doing devotions every morning. All the women came together and prayed as one and we prayed for everybody in the house. I really enjoyed that part."
"You put me on the right path and helped me get through a time when I didn't have much support. You are like a second family to me."
Jade also appreciated that she learned how to cook and that the women in The Elizabeth House took turns cooking for one another and shared dinners together. And Jade found the on-site computer room to be an excellent resource when it came to applying for jobs and researching apartments.
Because Jade could live at The Elizabeth House rent-free, she could save everything she earned from the two jobs she held during her stay to help pay for a future apartment and meet her baby's needs.
"You put me on the right path and helped me get through a time when I didn't have much support. You are like a second family to me. Thank you for making this possible."

Ocean Navigator / March-April 2011 / Efficiencies of a Genset
Efficiencies of a Genset
A right size genset can save fuel compared to using the main engine for electricity
Even the best-managed alternative energy battery-charging system will have a hard time keeping up with the power needs of a large sailing vessel. Pressurized hot and cold water, a high-volume watermaker, plus a bevy of navigation systems with color graphic displays, not to mention an entertainment system befitting a large yacht, all point to the necessity of an onboard generator in addition to the propulsion engine alternator, at least during peak usage.
Low-sulfur bio diesel and low-CO gasoline engines in some genset models will ease some of the guilt you may feel from not being a truly "green" voyager. In fact, your genset will be using less fuel to crank out more kilowatt hours per unit of fuel than your main engine easily qualifing the genset as a bona fide component of an alternative energy system, right along with the solar panels and wind generator.
Your first step in narrowing down the genset options is determining your requirement for power in kilowatts, the maximum genset size the vessel can accommodate and noise level. The industry gauges genset noise in decibels at seven meters with the sound cover fastened in place. To be sure, you will need to weigh a number of other factors as well to make the best choice.
Optimum power
"Sometimes folks come into my shop asking what size genset to buy," said Don Peters of S&W Diesel, a Norpro genset distributor near the Port of Los Angeles. "I tell them, first do your homework. Assume you have everything on at once and see what it adds up to. That's the minimum amount of power you need."
Peters' plainspoken advice will work in most situations. But what if the hole you have set aside for the genset is too small for the size and power rating of machine you have in mind? And what about load surges, especially from an old, worn-out motor in a refrigerator or watermaker, which can draw up to three times its rated power on start-up? You do not necessarily need to move up to a bigger, more powerful generator to cover such challenges.
There is also such a thing as too much power. Leif Johansen of Marine Diesel Engineering in Los Angeles pointed out the potential damage done to a genset if its output greatly exceeds a vessel's amperage draw.
"When a genset has too light a load or no load," Johansen explained, "it's just like running your main engine out of gear. There is inadequate heat in the chambers to burn fuel properly. This causes carbon to build up and shorten engine life. So it's important to select the generator you really need, not the biggest you can afford or squeeze into your boat."
The conventional genset connects an engine and either a generator or an alternator through "closed coupling," which is similar to the way an engine and transmission are coupled for propulsion. The main limitation of this system is that generator output remains constant, whether it's powering a single light bulb or the total sum of electrical loads on the vessel.
A few manufacturers run belt coupling between the engine and alternator, making the whole genset smaller and permitting an optimum engine speed for a specified level of alternator output. By running an engine at its most efficient speed, you save fuel and extend the life of the engine. Adjustable amperage can also be found in some new genset models.
Today's gensets use brushless generators and solid state voltage regulators to produce 120 volts of AC at 60 Hz. These include the popular models from Beta Marine, Westerbeke, Cummins Onan and Northern Lights. A few of these, to include those from Mastervolt and Fischer Panda, feature an asymmetrical, or "skewed," stator to produce a pure symmetrical sine wave, well suited for refrigerator condenser motors, laptop computers and other sensitive equipment.
Some models, however, are engineered to provide 12 volts DC instead of the usual AC. Fischer Panda builds DC generators, in addition to its popular line of high-tech alternator gensets, for those who want to feed pure DC power directly to their onboard systems and battery banks.
The Polar Power 6250 "DC alternator" incorporates a DC generator with an inverter to turn out more amperage while conserving fuel. The 6250's two-cylinder Lombardini diesel engine operates at speeds varying from 1,500 to 2,200 rpm to produce 2.5 to 5 kW of power. The whole unit weighs only 229 pounds.
Dimensions and layout
As a rule, the larger the genset, the more kilowatts it kicks out. Not always, though. Space-saving engine-generator couplings, high engine rpm and water-cooled generator windings can yield astounding levels of power in small packages.
The Fischer Panda 8 Mini DP, for example, weighs a modest 350 pounds and fits into a space of only 23.7 by 17.7 by 23.7 inches, yet it reportedly produces up to 62 amps at 120 volts, or roughly 7.4 kW. This compact, high-performance genset involves cutting-edge engineering and commands a pretty penny, but again, it is only one option in a wide and varied market.
When matching a genset to the space you have designated, make sure you have unobstructed access to everything on the unit that may require your attention. You should find all the main points of operator contact located on one side, but check just to make sure. Imagine where each checkpoint on the engine and generator will be located once the unit, along with its electrical harness, fuel lines and wet exhaust, is permanently installed.
That means having access to such vital points as the controller, circuit breaker, fuses, raw water pump impeller, heat exchanger zinc, oil dipstick and hopefully the hose clamps on the wet exhaust. Can you imagine having to extract a 400-pound genset just to get a wrench around a faulty injector?
The majority of marine genset engines have been designed for some sort of propulsion, not for operating at one fixed speed to power a high-output alternator. When we hear names like Kubota, Isuzu, Westerbeke, Yanmar and Volvo Penta, we think of propellers, not microwave ovens, yet you can find all these names cranking out power in gensets as well.
Kohler manufactures both the power plant and the generator side of its gensets. Designing a genset as an integrated apparatus straight from the drawing board has allowed Kohler to claim a level of efficiency that reduces engine CO emissions by 90 percent.
In short, whatever you have learned about the quirks of different engine manufacturers will hold the same for genset power plants. Feel free to apply what you have gleaned from experience and dockside advice about noise, vibration, cooling, bearing life, and so on while musing over various brands and models of gensets.
The ideal choice of engine will offer the longest life with the least amount of hassle from oil leaks or prematurely burnt-out main bearings due to perhaps an inadequately lubricated crankcase. At least with this engine you won't have to worry about prop shaft alignment, packing gland or cutlass bearing.
Few genset manufacturers advertise the horsepower of the engines in their gensets. However, virtually all the major brands list the number of cylinders, operating speed and fuel usage per hour. Compare two or three gensets with the same engine and check for significant discrepancies in power output and fuel consumption. Is fuel usage more or less the same across the different units at equal engine speed?
The same make and model of an engine may run at 1,800 rpm in one unit and at 3,600 rpm in another to generate two different levels of amperage at the same 60 Hz for the North American market. If so, which engine can we expect to last longer?
Speed consistency is the most critical demand we place on a genset engine. Manufacturers use two main strategies to achieve stable rpm. The traditional method is to employ an extra-heavy flywheel and governor springs specially designed for constant speed.
The other solution for regulating speed is a microprocessor-controlled servo motor, which reduces the need for a heavy flywheel and, arguably, ensures more precision than governor springs can deliver. On the other hand, as Johansen pointed out, one big splash of seawater can render the microprocessor, its related wiring and the remainder of the high-tech wonder useless until you can order new parts.
Life is not always easy for a genset aboard an offshore cruising yacht. You never know when a plastic bag will lodge itself in the raw water intake hose, or when a heat exchanger tube will spring a leak, or when a voltage regulator will fizzle.
When you see the phrase "automatic monitoring and shutdown" advertised, you can expect the late-model genset to offer comprehensive monitoring of battery charge, engine speed, voltage regulation, fuel consumption, emissions, oil temperature, and other diagnostic and protective capabilities.
The unit should offer automatic shutdown capability for, at the very least, high coolant temperature and low oil pressure. The unit may also feature auto shutoff for high exhaust temperature, over-speed, lack of raw water flow and starter motor over-crank.
Load surge protection
In calculating power demands, we may overlook start-up surges from heavy-duty loads like a windlass or even a watermaker or refrigerator motor. Rather than installing a genset rated for the highest possible combination of surges, why not install an inverter that distributes the momentary surge to an array of other charging sources?
Victron Energy's microprocessor-controlled DC-to-AC inverter system picks up the slack when the genset cannot keep up with sudden extreme draws of wattage. This may allow you to select a smaller genset, saving you money in initial cost and fuel consumption, and cutting down on extra weight and space dedicated to the unit.
Theoretically, coupling a smaller genset with a surge inverter can also add to genset engine life by ensuring a better-matched load.
The following five examples should give you a rough idea of the main technologies available.
Traditional genset: Westerbeke
Founded in 1937, Westerbeke's gensets range from 4 kW for small pleasure craft to 95 kW for commercial ships. Westerbeke's 5.5-kW genset weighs 356 pounds, making it slightly heavy for its class, but its durability and dependability make up for the added pounds. Based on traditional 1:1 ratio solid coupling, this unit has kept pace with the digital age by incorporating a full text display control panel and digital controls. You may also opt to install this genset within an NMEA 2000 communications network.
The Westerbeke 5.5 runs at a conservative 1,800 rpm fixed speed and consumes an average of 2.3 liters of fuel per hour.
Belt drive: Next Generation
Who said gensets are only for the largest of boats? Even my Cal 30 Saltaire can find room for Next Generation Power Engineering's UCM1-3.5, which achieves its diminutive size and weight through a parallel-mount coupling system for engine and alternator. This 3.5-kW unit, powered by a 7-hp single-cylinder Kubota diesel, sips 0.8 to 1.6 liters of fuel per hour, weighs only 160 pounds and fits in a space measuring just 28 by 15 by 15 inches. The optional enclosure expands those dimensions to a mere 30 by 18 by 16.5 inches.
The two secrets behind this unit are the rigid attachment plate and belt-drive system joining the two halves of the genset. The two pulleys are sized to keep the engine running at 2,800 rpm, and an elastic, helical drive belt saves you the trouble of checking and adjusting belt tension.
Gino Kennedy, the company's president, explained, "Keeping the engine at 2,800 rpm gives the best torque, the best fuel efficiency and maximum lifespan. We don't use any fancy electronics that you would have to look for if they were to break down in the middle of the ocean. The Kubota engine has dependable mechanical speed control that lasts for years and years."
Asynchronous: Fischer Panda
Fischer Panda of Oakland Park, Fla., boasts a line of freshwater-cooled, asynchronous marine diesel gensets, which they claim are "smaller, lighter, quieter and more fuel-efficient than the conventional synchronous generators."
This new wave of genset technology uses no windings, brushes or diodes, requiring less maintenance of the generator assembly. Freshwater coolant flows through a water jacket in the alternator casing, minimizing the amount of space required for airflow around the whole genset unit.
Fischer Panda's AC and DC gensets range from 4 kW to 20 kW.
Fuel-injected gasoline: Kohler
Ranging from 4 hp to 64 hp, Kohler's list of Aegis, Kohler Diesel, Command PRO, Courage PRO, Magnum and Triad engines power mini tractors, lawn mowers, pumps, and other small applications. The Kohler, Wis.-based firm manufactures low-CO electronic fuel-injected gasoline marine generators in 5 kW, 7.5 kW and 10 kW models, covering a wide range of vessel sizes.
Hybrid genset: Mastervolt
The Mastervolt Hybrid Generator goes a step further in tailoring output specifically to fluctuations in electrical loads. The GPX-6 produces up to 10 kW of start-up power and then supplies a continuous 2 kW from Mastervolt batteries.
Whenever a continuous load exceeds 2 kW, the generator turns on automatically to fill the power void. Mastervolt claims fuel savings of 30 to 40 percent, a message that certainly resonates with the cost-conscious sailor in this era of spiraling fuel costs.
At 176 pounds with the sound cover and roughly the size of the Fischer Panda 4200, the GPX-6 is one of the lightest permanent-mount marine gensets on the market. A two-cylinder Steyr diesel engine powers a brushless permanent magnet alternator at 3,000 rpm to produce a "perfect sine wave" in a package that looks more like a sleek, new photocopier than a diesel genset.
Got juice?
Genset prices fluctuate, and they vary even more when we factor in such options as electrical harness, sound cover, frame mounts, repair kit, NMEA 2000 capability and with one manufacturer, even the grade of paint your prefer.
As we breeze past rows of numbers denoting genset output levels, it is easy to become desensitized to the sizzling power behind those numbers. At 20 kW, 120 volts AC equates to 167 amperes, a mind-boggling amount of current for a cruising yacht. One-fifth of that, only 4 kW, yields 33 amps, slightly higher than the common rating for house wiring. To put it in perspective, a 1,200-watt microwave consumes only 10 amps.
Whether you choose AC, DC, gas, diesel, direct drive, belt drive, synchronous or asynchronous, an efficient, fuel-saving genset can be a fuel-saving, ecologically correct upgrade to your cruising lifestyle.

To be fair, however, spouting emptiness is tempting when you have the impossible task of running as the de facto incumbent in a ragingly "change" year. Clinton is trapped by circumstance. She's the status quo candidate, Barack Obama's heir, running essentially on more of the same when, after two terms and glaring failures both at home and abroad, Americans are hardly clamoring for four more years.
Historically speaking, they almost invariably do not. Which is why for the last 60 years, with only one exception, whenever one party has held the White House for two terms, it's been unceremoniously turfed out. (The one exception: 1988, when Ronald Reagan was rewarded with a third term to be served by George H.W. Bush.)
How little does Clinton have to offer? In her recent speeches, amid paragraph upon paragraph of attacks on Donald Trump, she lists the usual "investments" in clean energy and small business, in school construction and the power grid, and of course more infrastructure.
That's about as tired a cliche as taking the country into the future. Ever heard a candidate come out (BEG ITAL)against(END ITAL) infrastructure? Even Trump waxes poetic about the roads and bridges he will rebuild, plus erecting that beautiful wall.
Haven't we been here before? All those shovel-ready infrastructure projects to be funded by Obama's $830 billion stimulus? Where did the money go? Yet the one area of agreement among all candidates of all parties is that our infrastructure is crumbling still.
Defending the status quo today is a thankless undertaking. It nearly cost Clinton the Democratic nomination. Bernie Sanders campaigned loudly and convincingly against the baleful consequences of the Obama years – stagnant wages, income inequality and a squeezing of the middle class. Clinton was forced to echo those charges while simultaneously defending the president and policies that brought on the miseries.
Not easy to do. She is left, therefore, with a pared and pinched rationale for her candidacy. She promises no fundamental change, no relief from the new normal of slow growth, low productivity and economic stagnation. Instead, she offers government as remediator, as gap-filler. Hillaryism steps in to alleviate the consequences of what it cannot change with a patchwork of subsidies, handouts and small-ball initiatives.
Hence the $30 billion she proposes to soften the blow for the coal miners she will put out of business. Hence her cure for stagnant wages. Employers are reluctant to give you a wage hike in an economy growing at 1 percent. So she will give it to you instead by decreeing from Washington a huge increase in the minimum wage.
Hillaryism embodies the essence of modern liberalism. Having reached the limits of a welfare state grown increasingly sclerotic, bureaucratic and dysfunctional, the mission of modern liberalism is to patch the fraying safety net with yet more programs and entitlements.
It reflexively rejects structural reform (That's the project of Paul Ryan and his Reformicons.) The triangulating Bill Clinton was open to structural change, most notably in his 1996 welfare reform. Hillaryism is not.
She is offering herself as safety-net patcher. A worthy endeavor, perhaps, but, compared to the magic promised first by Sanders, now by Trump, hardly scintillating. Hence her campaign strategy: platitudes (the future), programs (a dozen for every constituency) and a heavy dose of negativity. Her speeches go through the motions on "vision," while relentlessly attacking Trump as radical, extreme and dangerous.
Her line of argument is quite straightforward: I'm the devil you know – experienced, if flawed; safe, if devious; reliable, if totally uninspired. I give you steady incrementalism. Meanwhile, the other guy is absurdly risky. His policies on trade, immigration and national security threaten trade wars, social unrest and alienation from friends and allies abroad.
The only thing missing from the Clinton campaign thus far is the nuclear option. Lyndon Johnson charged that Barry Goldwater was going to blow up the world. Literally. Johnson's "Daisy" commercial counts down to a mushroom cloud.
Somewhere in the bowels of Clinton headquarters, a smart young thing is working on a modern version. Look for it on a TV near you.

If you or someone you know has plans to use a cash gift as their down payment for an FHA loan, pay close attention. While the cash gift is not only allowed but encouraged by the Federal Housing Administration, there are rules to how the money can change hands and how it is all documented. If the steps are not followed it is very likely that the home loan will be rejected.
After all of this information is included in the letter it is necessary that the receiver and giver not only sign the letter but also place the date beside their signatures.
It is vital that the giver documents the gift completely. Having an easy to follow paper trail will make it easier for the underwriter to confirm the transaction. Here is one example.
Suppose a married couple wish to give $7,500 to their oldest daughter as a upcoming wedding gift. The money will be used to purchase a home and the money is coming from the married couple's joint money market account.
The married couple will first need to provide a print-out of the account showing the most recent balance. Then, if the money is withdrawn via a cashier's check, a copy of the check and accompanying bank receipt will need to be made. Finally, another print-out showing the account balance after the withdrawal will need to be made.
A similar paper trail would need to be made if stocks or bonds are being sold in order to provide the funds for the gift.
When the receiver takes possession of the funds then it is advisable that they visit the nearest branch of their credit union or bank and personally deposit the funds in to their account. Before making the deposit, the receiver should get a print-out of the account to show the current balance. Then, after making the deposit, make a copy of the deposit slip and ask for an updated print-out showing the new balance of the account. This account will have to be the only account used for the closing costs and down payments at the time of closing.
If the receiver is taking possession of multiple gifts from different parties, this process will need to be repeated for each gift. Do not combine gifts to one deposit. Each gift should be deposited separately.
By following these simple rules, it will make at least one part of the underwriting process simpler and hopefully speed things along to the glorious moment of closing.

HMS Malcolm was a , one of a dozen second-rate anti-submarine frigates built for the Royal Navy in the 1950s. She was commissioned on 12 December 1957 and decommissioned in 1978.  She was the second Royal Navy ship to be bear the name, and was named after Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcolm, who served during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

The Cod Wars
Just after she was commissioned, a dispute started in the North Atlantic.  Relations between the United Kingdom and Iceland deteriorated and there was concern that the Landhelgisgæsla (the Icelandic Coast Guard) might threaten British fishermen.

Malcolm joined the Fishery Patrol Squadron in April 1959, continuing on these duties until 1965. Malcolm was part of a five-ship group that was deployed to Iceland for fishery protection duties in what became known as the Cod Wars.  She operated out of Edinburgh during the first Cod War, and from Rosyth after that.

Malcolm was refitted at Rosyth from February 1965 until March 1966, when she rejoined the Fishery Patrol Squadron. In 1967 Malcolm joined the 20th Frigate Squadron based at Londonderry. Duties included training with submarines while continuing to carry out fishery protection patrols.

In December 1970, Kevin McNamara MP raised concerns that Malcolm would not be replaced by another frigate after its return to home waters, stressing that Malcolms medical support was essential to fishing operations off Iceland. The Ministry of Defence decided not to replace Malcolm immediately, probably because the situation had calmed somewhat (1970 was between the first and second Cod Wars).  Responsibility for supporting the fishing fleet was henceforth the Department of Trade and Industry's.

The dispute ended in 1976. Two years later, Malcolm was decommissioned.  She was considered too small to act as a modern frigate and therefore unable to continue service into the 1980s.

Team:NYU-AD/Design
Methods to detect toxins in food already exist, but many of these methods require a lab setting and several hours for a result. Our team has been working to create a portable device that gives rapid results without compromising the accuracy of the results. We are designing the device so that it would contain all necessary components to run a valid experiment, while being small in size. We are also making the device as consumer-friendly as possible by limiting the number of steps the user would have to take to obtain results. Furthermore, we are aiming to eliminate any direct contact between the user and the food and solution samples to ensure the accuracy of results and avoid any additional contamination or safety risks. Although we are still only designing a prototype, the vision is that the fully functional product would be used by consumers/ food vendors without any lab background.
Our prototype went through several iterations. Initially, we wanted to make the device consumer focused. After going through several brainstorming sessions (see the figure below), we decided to use a horizontal device divided into three compartments. The gel would run in the first compartment, followed by staining in the second and observation in the last compartment. This initial design can be found here.
However, despite optimizing each step of the process, the feedback from our human practices team indicated that most consumers were unhappy to wait for around 45 minutes for the results of the testing. (The link to the integrated human practices can be found here). After talking to engineering design professors from NYUAD, we realized that the device could actually be much more useful for street food vendors. This allowed us to be more flexible with our design and include features that could not be incorporated in the previous version. We changed our prototype to a fully mechanized integrated device that would perform all the operations in one compartment. After careful consideration, we settled with the idea of a vertical device, which also made the draining process a lot easier. Pictures of the 3-D animation of this prototype can be found below:
The dimensions of the gel are 16 cm x 10 cm. Capillaries connect the three containers at the top to the wells. The final functioning version of the device is expected to work the following way: a button would control the flow into the wells, allowing 50 microliters of fluid to flow into the wells each time it is pressed. The next step is to pour the buffer into the device by pressing a button that allows the buffer to just cover the surface of the gel without overflowing (the dimensions of the containers were chosen to ensure the appropriate volumes). After the gel has run, the buffer can be drained into the waste container by pressing a button on the side of the device. Similarly, the stain and de-stain solutions are also provided in containers (the larger containers shown on the side), which are also controlled by knobs, which allow the solutions to fill the gel compartment and then drain into the waste container. After running the gel and staining (with zinc stain), the bands can be visualized readily since the device comes with a black cover, which helps in visualizing the clear bands against the opaque milky-white background.
Although we have 3D printed a prototype of our device, we were not able to print the fully functioning device due to time constraints. The marketable version will include a display showing the time remaining for the run to complete and the voltage supplied. After running experiments in the lab, we can further optimize the process by setting a default running time for the gel, a default staining time and an optimal voltage, depending on the size of the gel, and hence make the device as user-friendly as possible.


Have you ever been on a flight and spoken to the person sitting next to you to be astounded that they purchased their ticket for much cheaper than yours?
You have done all the research, made multiple telephone calls and visited numerous travel agents and you thought you got your ticket for a great price only to be beaten by the person sitting next to you.
So how do you get the cheapest flight tickets?
There are numerous ways to secure cheaper flight tickets.
Booking well in advance has to be the best way.
Flight schedules come out in 6-month intervals, so you need to be on the ball when these schedules come out onto the open market. You can ensure this by joining all the newsletters of the airlines that fly your route. Don't worry; they are not going to inundate you with flight offers, this will happen periodically. The aim is to be ready as soon as the flights are released.
Booking a flight 6-months in advance is not something that everyone wants to do and in some cases it is not possible to do so due to individual circumstances. But if you can do this then you have a distinct advantage in the cheap flight ticket game.
Each flight that is released has discount tickets available. You may have seen the airlines advertising campaigns where they promote very cheap flight tickets from specific routes. What they don't tell you is the amount of discounted seats available. This is where the advance booking has the edge. The quicker you book the better so you have to do this as soon as the flights are released. You need to do this immediately in some cases depending on the schedule; busy schedules will sell out quicker, so you need to act fast.
Don't forget; you already have a head start on the competition because you are on the mailing list. That being said I contact the airlines in advance, so I know the very day these flight tickets are released. It just takes one telephone call or email to the airlines to get the vital information.
Each flight will have the very cheap tickets available according to the airline's promotion. They have to provide these by law. The number of these cheap tickets would be dependent on the airline, schedule and size of the aircraft. Now once these tickets are sold that's it. The next cheaper tickets will be higher, still cheaper than the normal price but you are not getting the same savings as you would with the biggest discount flight tickets.
From this period onwards the tickets will rise until they are at the highest prices which are a few weeks before the flight departs. Don't come under the assumption that any seats not purchased by passengers will come onto the open market at a high discount. That very rarely happens. If it did then, passengers would simply wait until the last minute to book flight tickets. This is a situation that the airlines do not want.
They reward passengers for booking early so get on the mailing lists today, and you will go a long way to saving money on your future flight tickets.

HICKMAN COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) – A Hickman County man is recovering both physically and mentally after being attacked by three dogs on Easter Sunday.
According to the report from the Hickman County Sheriff's Office, 28-year-old Macey Steele is charged with dogs at large after her dogs attacked a man on April 4, 2021.

It happened around 12:30 p.m. on Old Bon Aqua Road in Hickman County.
Kenny Ingram, his girlfriend Ashley Hale, and their six-year-old daughter were heading to Easter Sunday dinner. They never made it. They told News 2 two toddlers were playing in the middle of the road with no parents in sight.
They decided to step in and help get the children to safety.
"It's a one-year-old and a two-year-old. He looked over and she had an Easter basket over her head playing in the trash. He didn't see the dogs," explained Hale.
That's when the unexpected happened.
"He came to get me so maybe I could get the mother and be like 'hey, your kids are in the road. Bad idea.' We couldn't get her up. We called, we yelled and we hollered. Next thing we see is three pit bulls surrounding these kids. I guessed they belonged to them. Kenny bent down and asked 'where is your mommy little girl?' And out of nowhere, two pit bulls came at him. One got his left leg, the other got his right leg, and the third came out of nowhere and it went for his throat. He ducked and it got the entire left side of his face," explained Hale.
Hale jumped into action to save the man she loves.
"I am not going to let a human die because of a dog. I found a piece of fence, and I stuck it in between him and them three. I didn't think they were going to turn on me. He took off running, screaming that they ate his face off. Kimmy, my little six-year-old, was watching this with our buddy Andrew, who put her inside a car," said Hale.
Hale ran for her life. She jumped a neighbor's fence and hid in a chicken coop.
"If I didn't make it over the fence, I just knew I was dead. I knew it," said Hale.
News 2 spoke with Kenny Ingram about the terrifying experience.
"I thought they had bit my nose off, because it had a piece of my face in his mouth. I didn't see it until I got in the ambulance, and the lady took a picture of me and turned the camera around and said 'calm down this is what you look like we need to help you,'" explained Ingram.

Ingram was rushed to Vanderbilt Trauma Center for treatment.
"Nine hours of them on my face and putting the stitches in my eye. Stuff like that is what I remember. They didn't put me to sleep, they could not. It seems like it took them forever to put me back together," Ingram recalled.
Ingram will undergo plastic surgery Thursday.
"He's been through more than any man should. He's now got 43 stitches in his face and the dogs are still there. It could have been a child," said Hale.
Ingram and Hale reported the incident to the Hickman County Sheriff's Office. The District Attorney's Office said the owner of the dog will be served a dog destruction order if they do not show up to contest the petition in court later this month.
Ingram and Hale both told News 2 they just want peace.
"Easter Sunday, the most beautiful day of the year. We were going to enjoy it with our family and our daughter. It was exciting. It was a happy moment that was ripped from our life. It makes me feel sad," said Hale.
The report from the Hickman County Sheriff's Office states Steele, the owner of the dogs, has other charges that are currently pending.
According to the report, Steele told deputies she had no one at home to watch her children. Steele also told deputies one of her children had learned how to open the front door of her residence, and said the dogs had escaped the house because the door was open.

Deputies then asked Steele which dog had bitten Ingram, and were advised it was her black and white female pit bull. Steele advised the reason the dog bit Ingram was because she doesn't like men. Steele told deputies all of her dogs are up to date on shots.

Here are a few things you should know if you're thinking of buying a used car.
Buying a second-hand car can help save you money, but it also comes with a number of risks. It's important you know what to check for to ensure you get a good deal.
Before you go for a test drive or start looking at financing options, read our handy guide and checklist so you know what to look for when buying a used car.
Used cars are vehicles that are pre-owned and bought from a dealership or private seller. The conditions of used cars vary greatly – they may be in almost-new condition or they may be nearing the end of their life. A benefit of opting for a used car is that they are generally cheaper than buying new, and you can sometimes find a good deal for a pre-owned car in great condition.
Of course, there are risks that come with buying a car that someone else has owned. Many common car problems may not be immediately obvious, and the owner may be unaware that a problem even exists. Unless you are a mechanic or have experience with cars, it may be hard to work out what condition the car is in. If possible, it may be worth taking the car to a mechanic to check for any issues.
Before you buy your used car, you should also do some research on the make, model and year of the vehicle to determine if it is suitable for you. You should also prepare some questions to ask the seller about the history and condition of the car, and prepare a checklist of things to look out for when you go to inspect the vehicle.
Online. Online dealers operate used car websites where you can browse what's available. You can find both licensed dealers and private sellers on these sites, and you will generally be able to get the contact details of the seller or contact them directly through the website.
Trading and selling forums and websites. There are also sites or forums where people try to sell their own cars and where you might be able to pick up a bargain. With a private car sale, there is no warranty and you don't get the cooling-off period that a licensed dealer offers, plus it is difficult to determine whether the seller is reputable.
In the paper. Newspapers still have sections where people sell or trade. Some have dedicated sites and magazine lift-outs where you can find listings for used vehicles. Again, these are private sellers, so it's important to be more careful with your purchase.
Used car dealerships. If you would prefer to take a look at the cars themselves, you can visit one of the many used car dealerships where you can haggle in person. The benefits of working with a licensed dealer are that the car is often sold with a warranty, there is a cooling-off period and you may find the process easier as the seller will be experienced with used car sales terms.
If you opt to go with a private seller, you should always arrange to inspect the car in person before you commit to buying it.
Whether you're looking to buy a pre-owned or new vehicle, it can be tempting to buy the first car that you like. But a car is a large ongoing expenditure, and it's important to consider your options before making your final purchase.
Before you start looking for your car you need to decide what you want. Do you want a big car because you need a lot of boot space, or do you want a small car to make it easy to park in the city? You should think about the car's main use and then decide how many seats you want, what kind of features you'd like, fuel efficiency and running costs. You should also determine your budget, how old you want the car to be, and what you are willing to spend on a second-hand car.
When you start looking for your car you need to do your research. Start looking online and in newspapers, and visit a few used car dealerships. It doesn't matter what seller you end up going with because it's important to understand the current market prices and what's available to you. See what options your budget will allow and the different types of cars that you are able to get, so when you find the car you want to buy, you can decide if you're getting a good deal. You might also have some bargaining power when it comes to the purchase.
Why are you selling the car? It's important to understand the reason why the seller is willing to sell the vehicle. If they have recently bought the car and are already looking to sell, it may have some serious issues that they have not told you about. It may also be as simple as they found it hard to drive or the seats were uncomfortable. The reason for the sale may or may not affect your decision to buy, but it is worth knowing.
Has it ever been involved in a crash or required serious repairs? A used car may look in fine condition, but it may have been involved in a major accident or needed fixing.
How many kilometres has it done? It can be quite easy to change the odometer reading on a car to hide how far it has travelled. A car that has done a lot of driving is more likely to break down, simply due to natural wear and tear.
Are you the first owner? You should check to see if the seller bought the car new, and if not, if they can provide documentation showing the ownership history.
Do they actually own the car? This may seem like a simple question, but it's possible that they do not have the authority to sell the car in the first place, which could lead to serious complications if you go through with the purchase. If they originally purchased the car using a secured car loan, you should also check that they have paid off the loan in full, as buying an encumbered car (one that is under finance) can also lead to difficulties down the line.
Are you prepared to negotiate on price? Both private sellers and dealers may be willing to drop the sale price, so this is a question worth asking.
If you aren't satisfied with their answers or believe they may not be telling the truth, it may be worth getting the car checked with a mechanic or simply not going through with the purchase and looking for a different car. It can be very expensive to fix a faulty or damaged car, so you want the peace of mind of knowing that a used car is in good condition before you commit to buying it.
When you are inspecting vehicles or going for a test drive, use this checklist to make sure you note the car's most important features to help you make an informed decision.
Secured car loan. While some lenders will not approve a secured loan for a used vehicle, other lenders offer loans specifically for used vehicles if they meet certain requirements. These loan types require you to put up your newly-purchased car as security, but in return these loans generally have lower interest rates.
Unsecured loan. If you are unable to find a secured loan, you might want to take a look at your unsecured personal loan options. You don't have to use your car as security for these loans, but you may find that the interest rates are higher because it is more of a risk for the lender. One of the benefits with an unsecured loan is that you are able to use the loan amount in any way you want, so you can use it to purchase the vehicle and also for something else if you choose.
Dealer finance. If you are buying the vehicle from a used car dealership, they may be able to offer you some financing options. ASIC recently changed the regulations around dealer finance, which means car dealers can no longer offer you a rate that is higher than what they receive from a lender. However, you should still be sure to do your research on your other loan options before you sign up for dealer finance.
Find out everything you need to know about used car deposits, including whether you can get a refund.
There is a lot to factor into your decision when you're buying a car, and the first choice is whether to buy new or used. This guide will take you through everything you need to consider before you make your purchase.
Buying a financed car is a little more complicated than it is with normal vehicles, but this shouldn't put you off – find out what you need to know.
How long will a car dealer hold a car for you after you pay a holding fee?
The holding time will vary from one dealer to another, depending on the contract terms. Before agreeing to a holding deposit, check whether the deposit is refundable, whether the deposit is part of the purchase price and how the deposit should be paid. Read carefully all the terms and make sure you agree on everything that is written on the contract before signing it.
If you decide to leave a deposit to hold your vehicle, you should should ask for a receipt and make sure you put everything into writing and have the document signed by both parties.

This very very simple card is made using American Crafts "Lucy Hootski" paper. It is an older paper that I got on clearance, but I had to have it because it just makes me smile!!
Here is a thank you card for a volunteer at my church. I used Microsoft Word to print the sentiment on this card. I then ran the cardstock through my printer. The paper is the Cosmo Cricket DeLovely 6 x 6 Mini Deck. I used the Stretch Your Imagination Cricut Cartridge for the watering can.
For this birthday card, I am using a faux metal technique that is perfect for cards or scrapbook pages. The technique uses silver embossing powder. The process is a little time consuming, but the results are really amazing!


Volunteers help with all aspects of the work of Alexandra Palace – from maintaining the Park to mentoring staff and conducting tours. Recently, a group of volunteers helped plan activities for Haringey's Weekend of Play. Below you can read Clare Moussaid's experiences of volunteering at the Palace and the work that went into this brilliant day.
I first became involved with volunteering at Alexandra Palace a few months ago when I read about the Sensory Suitcase project. As someone with a family member with dementia I really wanted to get involved and learn more about the condition. Along with the rest of the team, I have used my passion for arts and crafts to help prepare the sensory materials to be used with the patients and their carers in Haringey care homes.
It was through my regular communications with Chiara, the Volunteer Coordinator that I heard about Haringey's Weekend of Play. It was only the second year of this fun event, where Haringey Council try to encourage families to get out into all the great parks and open spaces in Haringey and enjoy the fresh air and surroundings. This year's theme was 'Explore the Park'.
The small team of staff and volunteers got together to come up with some family friendly activities that we could deliver around the boating lake area of the palace. We had a couple of face to face meetings and also shared ideas through emails. Eventually, we decided on a nature trail around the lake and some paper flower making activities for the children and their families to do together and we were also given permission to use the hut next to the cafe.
On the morning of the event the sun was shining and we all anticipated a great day ahead. My role was to set up and supervise the flower making activities. I was genuinely impressed with the quality of the nature trails that had been produced by the Friends of Alexandra Park; so clear and colourful, easy for children and families use. During the course of the day we had many families visit us for a trail and afterwards to make the flowers.
We made roses from tissue paper and daffodils with paper and straws – I don't know who had more fun, them or me! Seeing the excitement of the children on completion of the flowers was my highlight of the day. One young teenage girl commented on how she was going to go home and make a whole string of roses for her bedroom which was so lovely to hear. I'd certainly get involved with this event again as it was such a positive experience and we all felt the day was a great success.

What makes Clusters essential and what is their impact on new economic and societal challenges?
Under the auspices of the Turkish EUREKA Chairmanship (2012-2013), ITEA has taken part in a HLG Working Group to produce a EUREKA Cluster Document. This report features five chapters that detail what EUREKA Clusters are, what makes them essential and the success of their impact on new economic and societal challenges.
The document serves to demonstrate to the public what a EUREKA Cluster regularly achieves through dynamic coopetition. The continuous growth and development of EUREKA Clusters, strongly supported by the European industry, EUREKA High Level Representatives and Public Authorities of participating countries, have made the Clusters what they are today: essential instruments for the global competitiveness of European industry.

For those of you who have family and friends who are not Christians, what goes through your mind and through your emotions when you hear "Whoever does not abide in me is thrown away like a branch and withers, such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned."? Jesus' clear message of what will happen to believers and to non-believers is so firmly recorded by John, it may bring all sorts of inner conflicts for many.
We all know a person who has expressed their concern for a family member who isn't a Christian; we may have had that concern ourselves. I'm sure we all know someone who has expressed concern for a loved one who has married someone of a different Christian denomination or of a different faith! A friend from summer camp was dating a Roman Catholic, and her Lutheran mother didn't speak to her for the duration of that relationship. I'm not sure where that sort of behavior would fit into the context of today's readings. But these behaviors are born out of a genuine conviction of faith, and guided – rightly or wrongly – by a deep concern for being right in one's faith.
If we do NOT have some conviction of faith, we are reduced to nothing but a social club, and we all know of social clubs that meet at more reasonable hours! Even social clubs are held together by a particular ethos or reason for them coming together. Bud & Linda play bridge…if they wanted to play cribbage, then the bridge club wouldn't be for them. And for sure, both social clubs and churches have split over such ideological differences, sometimes undermining their stated purposes.
As described in our second lesson, this "Love has been perfected among us," the believers, so "that we may have boldness on the day of judgment." This is a type and depth of love that we cannot find on earth, and therefore cannot find in a social club. Of course, our social clubs are important and valuable. They actually provide a type of personal interaction that the Church cannot necessarily provide. While many of our interests are or have been provided by Church social groups in the past, it is not the function of the Church, nor is it the requirement of the believer to nurture one's social life. We gather to help one another along our spiritual journeys as we worship the God of Love.
You see, even though these are the words of Jesus, they are also contextual, and these words are written using earthly concepts for divine truths so that human beings can begin to understand that which surpasses all understanding. We have to remember that salvation is not up to us, it is up to God! Jesus, more or less, makes this assertion in this Gospel reading. He makes it a little tougher for us by stating the negative. But some of us choose to focus on the positive, on the positive for us as believers that we are in the love of God, and on the positive that there is indeed the existence of the Love of God.
does not come from us.
salvation, not up to us.
Look at the second lesson again: our boldness at the Day of Judgment. If the Day of Judgment is to happen, it will be for all people, not just a few – all people throughout time. "What IS the Day of Judgment" is for a different sermon, so let's just take it for face value today. The Day of Judgment will be true for every single person on this Earth, whether devout Christian who takes Communion every day and says their sacramental confession three times a year, or for the person who has never known God or has rejected God. The Day of Judgment comes for all of us when we meet Jesus Christ face-to-face. And it is God who will make the decision who receives salvation. Is this Universalism? No! It is just the basic theology of the Christian faith. And this stems from God's love.
Let's use another earthly example and consider human love. There is always enough love to go around. I'm sure all of you have heard of the concept of compassion fatigue. People are asked to have compassion towards people who are in bad situations, those suffering from natural disasters, and all sorts of other types of situations which require us to dig into our well of compassion and offer that out to and for others. There becomes a point when some people have given so much of their well of compassion that they are tired. The next natural disaster or the next death in the family becomes overwhelming, and the person's response maybe one that is not consistent with either their behavior or the behavior one would expect from someone upon hearing devastating news. That is what is called compassion fatigue.
There is no such thing as love fatigue! I doubt that anyone of you has been unable to love someone or show your love to someone because you love too many people. This is a dynamic that happens in families. Sure, parents have different relationships with each child; their love for each child manifests itself differently. But that doesn't mean that you can't love yet another child or yet another person. There is no such thing as love fatigue.
This is the love that John is telling us about in the second lesson. It is also the love that Jesus is describing through his analogy of the True Vine. John talks about love that is there that was brought to us by Jesus Christ. That love is the love of God that is so deep that the billions and trillions of people who have ever lived on this planet have been, are, and will always be loved by God. Jesus puts that love into a concept that humans can understand. He uses Himself as the True Vine, the stock, the trunk, the anchor of the love that comes from God who is Love. We Believers are extensions of that love. We know the love because we are attached to it as believers as the branches. But we also bear fruit, which is to share that love with others.
"...The underlying theology remains that of individuals' letting Jesus into their hearts and lives one by one. There is nothing wrong with that, of course; but it worries me that the Church of England is being driven by the assumption that there is simply no other way of speaking of the Christian faith."
What Angela is concerned about is a narrow understanding of evangelism, a narrow understanding of what it means to be a Christian, and a narrow understanding of what the Love of God is and how that love works. What some in the Church believe is that the bearing fruit that Jesus speaks of is solely to gain new members. Of course, there is strong evidence for that in the New Testament and in the words of Jesus. But looking at the two readings together, it is clearer to me that bearing fruit is to express God's love to more people, to people who do not know or have not known God's love. So, when you hear Skip Parks and I talk to you about Episcopal evangelism, we are calling upon each of us to show the love of God to others. We are not threatening those people with being chopped up and tossed into the Fire. We are calling upon ourselves to show God's love to other people so that they may also know God's love and perhaps want to nurture that love with us here at St Stephen's.
"If we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us."
Therefore, my brothers and sisters of St Stephen's, do not worry about the fate of your friends and family who do not profess the Christian faith.
to love them as God loves us.

Should I Vote YES or NO on Prop 64?
There are less than two weeks left until the election and there are many propositions on the California ballot this year. One of the most buzzed about is Prop 64, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA), and the decision to vote Yes or No has caused a lot of controversy. Here we've answered some FAQs abut AUMA to help you make an educated decision on November 8th.


The famous Ocean City pier, located at the southern end of the Boardwalk, has become an iconic focal point of OCMD over the past century. Rooted deeply in Ocean City's history, the pier has served as a home for entertainment, games, amusement park rides, and even the town's first miniature golf course! Today, the pier is home to Jolly Roger's® Pier Rides, including the two-level Carousel, the adrenaline pumping Slingshot, the iconic Ferris Wheel, and more! Millions of beachgoers have made lasting memories at the pier over the last century, memories that have helped to secure Ocean City as the premier East Coast vacation destination for families.
The pier was originally built in 1907, but on a much smaller scale at about half the length of the existing pier. Sadly, in 1925 during the great fire of Christmas Eve, the entire structure (including the pier and the building) burned to the ground. The town was quick to spring to action, rebuilding the pier in 1926, along with the larger two story building as the anchor structure. Throughout the 1920s, 30s and 40s, the pier served as the social hub of Ocean City, with a ballroom, bowling alley, and even an ice skating rink! National recording acts such as Duke Ellington performed for visitors along the pier.
By the 1950s and 1960s, the pier began to feature amusement rides and games, laying the foundation for the future of the pier as a major amusement destination in Ocean City. The pier was even home to Ocean City's first miniature golf course, which was built in 1964.
Today the pier is a lasting symbol of Ocean City fun, with amusement park rides, games, fishing, and entertainment. And let's not forget about the iconic businesses housed in the pier's building, including Thrasher's French Fries and Ripley's Believe it or Not. Visit us at the Jolly Roger® Pier today and start making your own lifetime memories.
Jolly Roger Amusement Park® has rides and games the whole family can enjoy. And as always, there is never a charge to just relax and stroll through Ocean City's only full-service Family Amusement Facility.
We have many ways for your family to play. Purchase only enough points on your Jolly Roger® Passport to Fun Card to ride the rides you want.
Or, take advantage of increasingly Olympic sized savings on points that can be used at any Jolly Roger® location with our Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum Passport to Fun Cards.
Or purchase the Unlimited Rides Pass which allows you to ride all the amusement rides you like from 2 'till 6pm at 30th Street and from 1 'till 5pm at the Pier. The pass also includes one free round of Treasure Golf.

Q: One single word for honour killing honour killing is a word that carries sentiments. But its Google synonym don't. Like  assassination - is a more of a war machine word.
butchery - is not right either.
Do we have a single word for honour killing?

A: There is a neologism mentioned in the media: honoricide.

Maclean's outdid the rest of the media when it called the four murders "honoricide." While the word "honoricide" literally means "killing of honour" but were getting at the idea of "killing for honour." Writer Michael Friscolanti sat throughout the three-month trial and wrote a 22-page comprehensive article detailing the girls' lives and even wrote about how one of the girls' tombstones has the incorrect birthdate.
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Arianawardak/sandbox

A: As the flood of comments has probably made clear, this is a controversial subject. Wikipedia has a list of types of killing that is ... extensive. It includes Honor-Killing under the heading of Killing of family. This came as a surprise to me, as I would have classified Honor-Killing as killing of others due to reasons of personal honor having been offended, as in the history of duels. This is supported by the meanings of the phrases honorable combat, trial by combat and field of honor.
I was incorrect.
Honor-killing instead has a historical meaning of a killing of a family member who has brought shame to their family.
You might note that most of the types of killing are characterized by who or what is being killed and the specific relationship between the perpetrator and victim. Some examples:

*

*Homicide: from Latin homo for human being and caedere. Killing of one human by another.

*Regicide: Latin rex for king. The assassination of a Monarch by their subjects.

*Fratricide: killing of a brother.

In fact, there are only seven terms from among 60+ that don't use the suffix -cide. Not counting the two subtypes of suicide, these terms are:

*

*Honor-killing

*Murder

*Manslaughter

*Capital Punishment (a.k.a. execution)

*Euthanasia

Disclaimer: I know this is not a complete nor definitive list of words relating to killing. I am only building an argument on the ratio of terms presented, which I believe this list is large enough to indicate a definitive trend in the English language.
There are 58 well-documented terms (and several more less-than-documented terms) in this list with the -cide suffix which describe the victim of the killing. In this framework, honor-killing as a term meaning "killing for honor" is an oxymoron. A definition that would match the parts of the phrase at hand would be "the killing of honor." Ermanem points out the neologism of honoricide, which even more strongly opposes the pattern. I would like to counter this with a neologism of my own.
What an honor-kiling attempts to accomplish is the abatement of shame the perpetrator is feeling over the actions of a family member. I propose a better term for this is Shame-Killing or for a Latin fetishist phrase pudicide.
As John Lawler points out, Honor-killing often takes the form of a parent killing a child for disobeying them, and not even in a life threatening or even dangerous way. If the child is underage (as is frequently the case when judged by modern, western standards), then this is a failing of the parent to protect and care for their child. If the child is of age and expected to act as an individual and an adult, then there can be no dispute that this is a murder. There cannot exist such a high-stakes state where an individual is responsible for their own actions and answerable to a legal guardian, especially not with their life. Most democratic forms of governance hold that citizens are answerable only to the state. Even state-sponsored killing do not attempt to trivialize the death with a sugar-coated term – as already mentioned, this is called an execution, capital punishment or death penalty. The stated goal of such killings is not to restore the honor of the society, but to remove an ongoing danger to society.
Also note that sometimes Honor-killings are undertaken when the victim has no responsibility for the perceived offense, having already been victimized by another perpetrator. In this case, the victim who is killed is innocent of all wrong doing – one could even call them a martyr.
In either case, I view these types of killings as an ultimate admission of failure by the perpetrator, who views their own situation as so bleak and unrecoverable that they must attempt to erase the source of their shame, as though ending a life could change the past. Even the phrasing "honor-killing" is an attempt to put a positive light on a violent act. This fits the definition of propaganda, as evidenced by how contrary it is to other phrases regarding killings.

A: I don't believe there is a single word in this case. "Honor killing" and "revenge killing" are fairly common terms in English, though.

A: From what I understand there is no country in the world that considers an honour killing to be a legal act.
There are countries where it may be excused or used as a means for a shorter sentence or to avoid prosecution altogether but those countries still class it as an illegal act.
Therefore, the two most suitable single words in English for an honour killing are homicide or murder.
The definitions of the two terms are general reference.

A: MacMillain's thesaurus entry for the oxymoronic term honor-killing suggests several terms for this sort of crime, including murder, homicide, and manslaughter.  Perhaps one of those may be to your liking.
On the other hand, depending on the relationship of the victim to her murderer, more specific terms for these horrible atrocities do exist:

*

*matricide – murdering one's mother

*uxoricide — murdering one's wife

*filicide — murdering one's child

*sororicide — murdering one's sister

*nepoticide — murdering one's niece (or nephew)

*parricide — murdering one's close relative

*femicide — murdering a woman

*hereticide — murdering a heretic

Those words do double duty as both the act itself and the victim.  So for example, one commits the crime of uxoricide when one murders one's wife, and she, having been so slain, becomes an uxoricide herself.
As you can see, those all end in the ‑cide suffix.  It is, alas, fairly productive, so although many such words derive directly from Latin, others are newly minted at need.  The OED says of this suffix (amongst other things):

-cide /saɪd/, suffix.

*

*a. F. ‑cide, L. ‑cīda cutter, killer, slayer, f. cædĕre, in comp. ‑cīdĕre to cut, kill, as in homicīda, parricīda, mātricīda, frātricīda, sorōricīda, tyrannicīda, etc., slayer of a man, father, mother, brother, sister, tyrant, etc.; also lapi(di)cīda, stone-cutter, etc.  Most of the L. words having the sense 'slayer, murderer', have come down into Romanic and English, where new combinations have also been formed on the same type, notably regicide and suicide; filicide has also been used; and many occasional forms appear as jocose nonce-words, e.g. apicide, avicide, canicide, ceticide, muricide, perdricide, tauricide, vaticide, verbicide; or, still more ludicrously, birdicide, prenticecide, suitorcide, etc. Also applied to preparations destructive of animal or vegetable life, as algicide, fungicide, germicide, insecticide, pesticide.

  [. . .]

If hereticide for murdering a heretic doesn't quite fit, you could probably take the stem of peccation (meaning a 'sin') and make something like peccaticide, a word that I've so far found only in French texts.  To me it sounds more like sin-killing than sinner-killing, however.
If you don't mind the sort of nonce-word words which the OED calls jocose and possibly even ludicrous, perhaps sinnercide would convey the meaning you intend.  It's no sillier than guilty-killing.
