Home› Blog › FINDING YOUR VOICE
When we created our Little Warriors collection we wanted to include a Momiji that was a reminder to use your voice. We created Courageous You with her megaphone to be a symbol of finding the courage to speak out about things you're passionate about and in support of people who need encouragement.
She could be a the perfect gift for someone who needs to know that you're there for them, cheering them on as they speak their truth.
These are some examples of women who have spoken about using their voice and making themselves heard in a world where it's not always easy to do so.
"Even to me the issue of "stay small, sweet, quiet, and modest" sounds like an outdated problem, but the truth is that women still run into those demands whenever we find and use our voices."
- Brené Brown, Daring Greatly
"I raise up my voice—not so that I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard. … We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back."
- Malala Yousafzai, activist for female education
"Words have power. TV has power. My pen has power."
- Shonda Rhimes, producer & screenwriter
"A very big part of stand-up comedy is that the audience need to believe that the comic is in control and is happy being there. It's very exposing and it forced me to stop hiding and say 'I'm disabled, I'm wobbly and I'm OK with that – I'm just going to connect with you as a person'.
- Francesca Martinez, comedian
"Speaking in public as a Black girl is already daunting enough, just coming onstage with my dark skin and my hair and my race — that in itself is inviting a type of people that have not often been welcomed or celebrated in the public sphere. Beyond that, as someone with a speech impediment, that impostor syndrome has always been exacerbated because there's the concern, Is the content of what I'm saying good enough? And then the additional fear, Is the way I'm saying it good enough?"
- Amanda Gorman, poet
"Sometimes you feel it's braver to say something outrageous, and it's not always. Sometimes it's braver to say the vulnerable thing."
- Phoebe Waller-Bridge, writer

My ballet teacher always told us "he who has never fallen down has never tried anything new". I was often anxious of making mistakes and was terrified of appearing less than perfect. But my teacher's words have always stuck with me and they encourage me to attempt new things- even if I might fail the first 100 times! I know that it does not do to be scared of failure, for you will never succeed if you don't try at all.

My grandmother, who in her final days was reminiscing about how she liked roasted chestnuts and how she couldn't afford them when she was younger, and how, now that she could afford them, she couldn't eat them, said to me, "If you can eat, eat."
(She said it in dialect so this is a rough translation.) In these few words, she taught me to treasure the present, smell the roses, be kind to myself, and be grateful always for our blessings.

The most inspirational people in my life have been the other bereaved mothers that carried me through my grief after losing my two sons. When I first met these other mamas at a support group held in the same hospital where my firstborn son had lived his short life and died, I was petrified. I soon entered a club that nobody wants to join. They held me up on the days where my limbs were too painful with grief to move. They let me know that all of my feelings were normal and the same as theirs. Then when my second baby boy died a year later they all came to hold my hand and cry with me. If it wasn't traumatic enough for them to have gone through it themselves, they were selfless enough to live through my grief with me and be by my side in the hospital. They made my husband and I meals on days where we wouldn't have eaten a thing. They made sure I knew they were always there and will forever be the most cherished women I will ever have the pleasure to meet. I'm grateful for their strength, kindness and compassion every day.

I heard the message of Pope Francis during this pandemic and it tells so much truth about it. Here it goes "Nor can we let the virus of radical individualism win us over and make us indifferent to the suffering of other brothers and sisters. I cannot put myself before others, putting the laws of the market and invention patents above the laws of love and the health of humanity." All lives matter whatever their color, race, religion etc. What we need is to put an E at the end of the word HUMAN in order for this world to heal.

My inspiration comes from a group of 7 young gentlemen from South Korea who have taken the world by storm by breaking down barriers and confirming that music without borders is the language of the world.
They have done so much in this world for social inclusion and awareness of world issues while supporting many humanitarian causes including the UNICEF Love Myself campaign; Link to the original UNICEF speech here in 2018: https://www.unicef.org/press-releases/we-have-learned-love-ourselves-so-now-i-urge-you-speak-yourself and video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhJ-LAQ6e_Y .
BTS returned in 2020 to the UN to address their campaign in the new world of a pandemic, link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVbod1-Nx7A .
BTS has the largest fan base in the world at 136.4 million fans worldwide at last count and they are called ARMY but BTS are very little known for their global impact of influence in the 'western countries'. However; they have proven to the world that music is a language for all as they have broken all cultural norms to sing in predominately Korean. Their music and music videos always have a story of young life struggles, loneliness, anxiety and also hope and promise that the world can be a better place. Their messages cross borders and influence over generations also; such as myself!
They have connected millions of people around the world especially during this pandemic and they have given Hope to them, their fan base ARMY supports each other and is inclusive of race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, socio-economic, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, and or other ideologies.

Thank you to everyone who entered our contest in...
Announcing our winners.


My name is Владимир, I'm male and 61 Year old. My Sign of Zodiac is aries. I live in Moscow, Russia.	On Flirtic.com I've been registered for 26.06.2012 years.
My education is college degree (e.g. ba).	I speak russian. My mother tongue is english.	I have one child.
I like to listen to Queen, Electric Light Orchestra, Boston, Steppenwolf, Alice Cooper, Rick Wakeman, Slade, Chicago, Eric Clapton, Billy Joel, Nazareth, Neil Young, Pink Floyd, Rory Gallagher, The Doors, The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, King Crimson, Paul McCartney, Supertramp, Geordie, Jethro Tull.


If you thought double stuffed Oreo cookies were the fastest way to gain an extra layer of blubber around your abdomen, think again. Oreo has now come out with a limited edition Oreo that looks to be about 4 times the amount of stuffing compared to a regular Oreo, and their called "The Most Stuf". Why it's missing an F, I don't know... Though it's claimed as their Oreo with the "Most creme ever".
There's regular Oreos, there's double-stuffed Oreo's, there's Mega stuffed Oreos, and since someone thought that wasn't enough, there's now "The Most Stuf" Oreos, and I sure hope it ends there. Once there's more stuffing than actual cookie, you got a problem in my opinion.
Each "The Most Stuf" Oreo has a ridiculous 110 calories, and 45 mg of sodium, and 11 grams of sugar per cookie, so if you're looking for a stomach ache or a case of diabetes, you've purchased the correct box of Oreo cookies.
Check out the 4x Maximum stuffed Oreo cookies in action via the video below.

Q: Get ASP.NET control which fired a postback within a AJAX UpdatePanel Related to this question: On postback, how can I check which control cause postback in Page_Init event
If the control is wrapped in an ASP.NET AJAX UpdatePanel, the variable "control" is empty because it has a different ID after the AJAX PostBack.
Is there a solution to get the control which fired a postback within an ASP.NET Ajax UpdatePanel?
public static string GetPostBackControlName( Page page ) {
        Control control = null;

        /**
         * First we will check the "__EVENTTARGET" because if the postback is made
         * by controls which used the _doPostBack function, it will be available in the Request.Form collection.
         */
        string ctrlname = page.Request.Params["__EVENTTARGET"];

        if ( !String.IsNullOrEmpty( ctrlname ) ) {
            control = page.FindControl( ctrlname );
        } else {
            /**
             * If __EVENTTARGER is null, the control is a button-type and
             * need to iterate over the form collection to find it.
             */
            Control c = null;
            string ctrlStr = null;

            foreach ( string ctl in page.Request.Form ) {
                if ( ctl.EndsWith( ".x" ) || ctl.EndsWith( ".y" ) ) {
                    /**
                     * ImageButtons have an additional "quasi-property" in their ID which identifies
                     * the mouse-coordinates (X and Y).
                     */
                    ctrlStr = ctl.Substring( 0, ctl.Length - 2 );
                    c = page.FindControl( ctrlStr );
                } else {
                    c = page.FindControl( ctl );
                }

                if ( c is Button || c is ImageButton ) {
                    control = c;
                    break;
                }
            }
        }

        if ( control != null ) {
            return control.ID;
        }

        return string.Empty;
    }

A: Try the following method:
public string GetAsyncPostBackControlID()
{
    string smUniqueId = ScriptManager.GetCurrent(Page).UniqueID;
    string smFieldValue = Request.Form[smUniqueId];

    if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(smFieldValue) && smFieldValue.Contains('|'))
    {
        return smFieldValue.Split('|')[1];
    }

    return String.Empty;
}

The above method uses the hidden field of the ScriptManager on page. Its value can be accessed on the server by searching for a form key with the UniqueID of the ScriptManager. The value in the hidden field is in the format [UpdatePanel UniqueID]|[Postback Control ID]. Knowing this information we can retrieve the ID of the control that initiated the asynchronous postback. And it works for submit buttons too.

A: Here's @bugventure 's code in VB.NET... With the modification of adding a Page reference as a parameter so I could use it in a common library.
Public Function GetAsyncPostBackControlID(ByRef page As Page) As String
        Dim smUniqueId As String = ScriptManager.GetCurrent(page).UniqueID
        Dim smFieldValue As String = page.Request.Form(smUniqueId)

        If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(smFieldValue) AndAlso smFieldValue.Contains("|") Then
            Return smFieldValue.Split("|")(1)
        End If

        Return String.Empty
End Function

Usage:
' Call from a control or Page
Dim postbackControlID As String = GetAsyncPostBackControlID(Page)

' Call from a page
Dim postbackControlID As String = GetAsyncPostBackControlID(Me)

A: To get the control that caused the async postback, you can use the following instead of parsing
var scriptManager = ScriptManager.GetCurrent(Page);
var asyncPostBackSourceControl = Page.FindControl(scriptManager.AsyncPostBackSourceElementID);

Snoqualmie Ice Cream Introduces Seasonal Flavors just in Time for Fall
By Chase McPeak	 October 6, 2016
While not exactly fans of Pumpkin Spice Season, we have to give a nod to the creative genius who realized that adding the Thanksgiving spice combination to coffee would have women and teen girls (and some men) champing at the bit to get their autumnal fix every year from September through December.
Hopping on that same seasonal flavor bandwagon is Washington-based Snoqualmie Ice Cream with their two traditional seasonal flavors: Pumpkin Custard and Peppermint Stick Gelato, and their fresh, new seasonal flavor, Sun Liquor Fancy Eggnog Custard.
These limited-edition flavors are available in pints at grocery and convenience stores throughout the Pacific Northwest and can be shipped nationwide when ordered online. All Snoqualmie ice cream, custard, and gelato are all-natural and made in small-batches to insure quality. Snoqualmie products are made with more cream and less air, along with no artificial flavors or colors, no high fructose corn syrup, and are sweetened with non-GMO cane sugar all in their sustainable and environmentally conscious manufacturing facility.
Snoqualmie's pumpkin custard is made from a combination of pumpkin puree, vanilla, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. The taste is almost exactly like a very cold, very delicious pumpkin pie, but not at all like pumpkin spice. There is a deep, heady flavor to this creamy, custard that live the taste lingering on your tongue (in a good way). With just the right hint of pumpkin flavor, this seasonal ice cream is a top-contender for best seasonal anything ever.
The Peppermint Stick Gelato is made with natural mint candies that are swirled into a peppermint infused gelato. While definitely full of flavor and undoubtedly pepperminty, this ice cream does not overdo it. It's like eating a hint of Christmas with every spoonful. And if you really want to get into the Christmas season, have a few bites with a shot of peppermint schnapps for that hardcore holiday spirit.
Snoqualmie's Sun Liquor Fancy Eggnog does not contain any alcohol (unfortunately). As Berry Bettinger, owner and Founder of Snoqualmie ice cream noted, "We made a really great Eggnog flavor in the past, but it had too much alcohol in it and we weren't able to sell it at retail. Our collaboration with the wonderful team at Sun Liquor has allowed us to perfect a non-alcoholic recipe with a fantastic taste, and it's a real treat – we're thrilled about it!" Sun Liquor has been making their famous aged eggnog for over a decade, and now, for the very first time, they've partnered with Snoqualmie Ice Cream to create a non-alcoholic custard version of their amazing seasonal classic. Though, you could add back the alcohol in the form of a simple whisky float.
As Erik Chapman, Head Distiller and Operations Manager at Sun Liquor, says, "We are huge fans of Snoqualmie Ice Cream. The marriage of our two iconic Pacific Northwest brands has been a really fun opportunity to create a truly special frozen treat for the holidays."
And when you taste it, you realize how truly special it is. There are a lot of ice cream and custard flavors out there (thank you Ben and Jerry's and Baskin Robbins), but none of the more traditional flavors you might have tasted before have the punch that this eggnog custard does. Every bite is rich and filling, making this a pint you can spread out over the course of a week or more. But, we aren't opposed to downing it all in one sitting. Just hit the gym afterward.
For a look at our taste-testing process, check out our recent Facebook Live video featuring a few Digital Trends staffers who so graciously offered to do the hard work of trying out ice cream. And for more information on the difference between ice cream, custard, and gelato, take a look at this page full of helpful identifying information.
Snoqualmie Ice Cream's seasonal flavors are available both online and in stores from October through December of each year.

Byz.: τὰ Φοινικικά), of which we know only through references in Eusebius [7] (Euseb. Praep. evang. 1,9,20-21; 10,9,12 ff. Mras = FGrH 790).

Sanctio
Author(s): Ebner, Constanze (Innsbruck)
[German version] (from Latin sancire: 'to consecrate', 'render inviolable'), originally in the sacral sense: confirmation by oath of a treaty ( foedus ... sanciendum, Liv. 1,24,6); in the context of a lex ('law'), sanctio means the totality of clauses to ensure implementation (Cic. Att. 3,23,2-3), then generally legal consequence, esp. of prohibitory laws, esp. penalty. The categorization of leges (Ulp. Reg. 1-2, v. here lex, leges D.1.) according to the type of sanctio into leges imperfectae (without sanctio), minus quam perfectae (penalty only) and perfectae (act declared nul…
Author(s): Frateantonio, Christa (Gießen) | Egelhaaf-Gaiser, Ulrike (Potsdam)
[German version] I. General The word 'sanctuary' is derived, like the French sanctuaire, Italian santuario, etc., from the Latin sanctus ('set off'). On the other hand, the German collective term for a wide variety of types of cult places, Heiligtum, traces back to the Germanic adjective * heila-, * heilu- ('whole', 'complete') [1. 78]. In 20th-cent. German-language scholarship of religion, the German term eventually came to be used synonymously with the above-mentioned terms derived from sanctus. This is connected with, among other things, the archaeological and lite…
Author(s): Wardle, David (Cape Town)
[German version] (originally the perfect passive participle of the Lat. verb sancire, 'dedicate, make inviolable'). Sanctus is not identical with sacer , but the use of sanctior as the comparative of sacer and the formation of the compound sacrosanctus point to a connexion going back to the Indo-European *sak- ('endowed with existence'). Three phases of the ancient use of sanctus and the substantive sanctitas can be identified. 1. Sanctus qualifies things, places or offices defined or safeguarded in their existence, usually in a law, by a sanctio (e.g., walls, …

[German version] Semo S. Dius Fidius (Dion. Hal. Ant. Rom. 4,58,4; CIL VI 30994), also called Dius Fidius, S. or Semo S. A god of mysterious origin and nature, assumed to be of Sabine extraction (Ov. Fast. 6,213-18; Varro, Ling. 5,66). The name S. (also transmitted as Sanctus) is derived from Latin sancire, 'to make steadfast, fix' (but it is also explained as the Sabine word for 'heaven': Lydus, Mens. 4,90; [4. 116]). Semo is of unknown derivation, but is associated with semen ('seed') and understood to indicate a god of sowing ([3] contra [2. 204]). The god, along with Salus Semonia …
Sandalphon
Author(s): Ego, Beate (Osnabrück)
[German version] (Hebrew sandālfōn). Name of one of the most important angels in rabbinic angelology. S.'s size spans from earth into the heavenly realm and he surmounts his angel companions by 500 years 'while making wreaths for his creator' (bHag 13b with the interpretation of Ez 1:15; PesR 20 [97a]). Related traditions identified these wreaths with the prayers of Israel that S. presents to God (Bet ha-Midrasch 2,26 Jellinek). It is highly probably that his name is derived from the Greek συνάδελφος/ synádelphos, 'fellow brother' (in the community of angels or specifically o…

[German version] (πέδιλον/ pédilon, σανδάλον, -ιον/ sandálon, -ion; Lat. sandalion, solea, all usually plur). Sandals (soles attached with straps to the feet and reaching up to the ankles or just above) were certainly the most common ancient footwear and were made in various variations.

The straps were often …
Sandhi
Author(s): Haebler, Claus (Münster)
[German version] The Indian word sandhi- (masc.) 'putting together, linking', a term used by Indian grammarians, was adopted by European linguistics in the middle of the 19th cent. in view of the lack of a corresponding term from Classical Antiquity. It describes (1) the 'coming together' of word-final phonemes with word-initial phonemes, esp. of words in a syntactic relationship (hence also the term 'sentence phonetics'), and also words occurring as members of nominal and verbal compounds; (2) (m…
Sandon
Author(s): Müller, Hans-Peter (Münster)
[German version] (Σάνδων/ Sándōn, also Σάνδας/ Sándas, Σάνδης/ Sándēs, Lat. Sandan) was probably originally a Luwian god of weather and vegetation with characteristics of a war god and, to a lesser extent, of a sun god. In the Zarpiya ritual of Kizzuwatna in southeastern Asia Minor (KUB IX 31 II 22 f.; [7. 141; 8. 340]) he appears as d ša-an-ta-aš- LUGAL-uš, 'king Šantaš'. He is identified with Marduk, written ideographically as d AMAR.UD. A rock relief at Ivriz on the northern slopes of the Taurus (7th/6th cent. BC [6. 331; 1. 21] contains a pictorial representat…

[German version] Swedish excavations, 1956-1967, uncovered large sections of an Etruscan settlement on a high plateau at the confluence of two water courses in the northeastern foothills of the Tolfa Mountains. The floor plans of houses from three settlement phases are important for the study of the architecture of archaic Etruscan houses (cf.

This followed the revelation over the weekend that President Muhammadu Buhari's minister of finance (the one he spent six months searching for, in order to make sure that she was not only capable, but also corruption-free) forged the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate of exemption, with which she has been using to work in Nigeria!
President Muhammadu Buhari's Senior Special Assistant on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Abike Dabiri-Erewa has recently found herself in the news a lot. If she is not laying curses on a Presidential aspirant, she would be seen making utterances that display a high and nauseating level of sycophancy.The latter should be totally understandable, considering that the only qualifications for one to serve under President Buhari is to be properly versed in telling of lies, sycophancy, raining of insults, and gross incompetence.
No respect is given for the extra work done by the women, or even the many threats and obstacles they must muscle through to even make half an inroad as their male counterparts.


Quite often, we get inquiries that end with 'What are your SEO prices?' or 'Can you please send us a SEO quotation?' Of course, that's a reasonable request (most of our clients are used to asking for quotations from their vendors first, after all), and there are SEO companies who offer cookie-cutter solutions and instant, templated quotations.
But that's not how our approach to SEO works.
As we have outlined in several other posts, we don't offer SEO packages or blind quotations and provide custom quotes only after examining your requirements.
Each Engagement is Different – We don't offer any SEO 'packages' because we believe each engagement is different. An SEO campaign can run the whole gamut from just a SEO analysis to a new web design to link building to a managed content marketing solution. Until we know what we're working with and to what end, we'll be unable to provide an SEO pricing. What we do is follow a well-defined SEO process.
Program Built Around Your Goals & Budget – As you already know, we will be unable to give any costing or fees off-the-cuff, but it is likely that we can prioritise and customise your campaigns according to your budget, goals and timeline. We believe that this allows us to provide you with a more suitable solution for your business. It also ensures that the costs and deliverables are agreeable to both of us.
Okay, no SEO price yet then. So what happens next?
One of my colleagues will respond to your email to confirm your request and contact details.
We'll take a quick look at your website to get a high level view your business.
You'll get a quick phone call to provide us with more details and to set up the Discovery meeting. Discovery can happen either in-person or through the phone (if you're out of Klang Valley) and usually within the next 3 working days.
During the Discovery meeting, we will determine requirements, expectations and goals and resources available (including your budget).
We'll present a proposal for your review within the next few days.
We can start working together once you formally accept the proposal.
The whole process is simple, smooth and usually takes less than a week, depending on both of our availability.
At the end of it, you know that you're getting a bespoke solution that's tailored to your company.
Alright, so let's get you started right now!

Astronomers using the VST telescope could see the beam of a huge young star. located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. dwarf galaxy – the galaxy's satellite.
The Large Magellanic Cloud is a dwarf galaxy that is a satellite of the Milky Way and, according to astronomers from our Milky Way, is about 160,000 light-years. Recently, experts have carried out observations of the LHA 120-N 180B nebula, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, and saw a long beam (stream of matter) coming from a young massive star (the mass is about 12 times higher than the mass of the sun).
The observed object, which reached a length of about 33 light years (this is one of the longest known rays), was called Herbig-Haro 1717 (HH17). As noted, rays are usually hidden by dust, so scientists find it difficult to see them; This time, however, the situation was slightly different, and this is the first time that the experts saw a ray in another galaxy in the optical range.
A snapshot of the LHA 120-N 180B was made using the MUSE (Multi Unit SpectroScopic Explorer) tool mounted on a VLT telescope (Very Large Telescope). About discovery briefly reported on the ESO website (European Southern Observatory).

Q: Ruby - Tell user what stage of the day and season of the year (Use Hash) I have a question for the following challenge.
1) Tell the user what season of the year it is. Condition is I need to use hash.

*

*What I want to to loop seasons and find an element that is equivalent to current_month which is 10. Then extract its key, spring.  Could you give me a clue on how I should modify my current .map method?

2) Tell the user what stage of the day (morning, noon, afternoon, evening, nighttime, midnight). (Use hash)

*

*What I want is to compare current hour of the day value and get key of the corresponding value.

*I have created the hour ranges. Is there any other way to create them?

Thanks!
current_month = Time.now.month
current_day = Time.now.yday
current_hour_of_day = Time.now.hour

seasons = {"spring" => [9,10,11],
    "summer" => [12,1,2],
    "autumn" => [3,4,5],
    "winter" => [6,7,8]
    }

current_season = seasons.map do |k,v|
    if seasons[v].include?(current_season)
    puts "It is #{seasons[k]}."
    end
end

current_hour_of_day = Time.now.hour
day_stage = {"morning" => current_hour_of_day >= 6 && current_hour_of_day <= 12,
    "noon" => current_hour_of_day > 12 && current_hour_of_day <= 14,
    "afternoon" => current_hour_of_day >= 18 && current_hour_of_day <= 20,
    "evening" =>  current_hour_of_day >= 18 && current_hour_of_day <= 20,
    "nighttime" => current_hour_of_day >= 21 && current_hour_of_day <= 23,
    "midnight" => current_hour_of_day == 24
    }

day_stage.each do |stg, hr|
    if hr === Time.now.strftime('%B')
        puts "It is #{day_stage[stg]}"
    end
end

puts day_stage

A: You are using hash wrong. Hash is a tool/type which provides possibility to effectively find value based on the key.
If you are looping hash, then you don't need to use hash, but collection (array, enumerable or set)
Because amount of months and hours in day are limited and their values are unique you can use it as a key and season or stage of the day as value.
months = {
    1 => "summer",
    2 => "summer",
    3 => "autumn",
    4 => "autumn",
    5 => "autumn",
    6 => "winter",
    7 => "winter",
    8 => "winter",
    9 => "spring",
    10 => "spring",
    11 => "spring",
    12 => "summer",
}

Then finding current season will be O(1) operation within one line of code
current_season = seasons[current_month]


How do I remove fold lines when exporting a dxf?
Just wondering how to export a .dxf file of a flattened sheet metal part, without having the fold lines shown.
@james_blanchard717 - the bend lines are stored on a separate layer.
When you open the dxf/fwg in the target system, simply turn off or delete that layer.

WDOD (1310 AM) was a United States radio station serving the Chattanooga, Tennessee area. The station was last owned by Bahakel Communications out of Charlotte, North Carolina, and offered a sports talk format.  WDOD was the oldest radio station in Chattanooga, having gone on the air on April 13, 1925.

History

WDOD was first licensed in April 1925 to the Chattanooga Radio Company, operating on 1170 kHz. The call letters stood for "Wonderful Dynamo of Dixie", reflecting a slogan used for the city. The station made its formal debut on April 13, 1925, broadcasting from the Interstate Life building, and featuring a speech by mayor Richard Hardy. Early owners of the station include Norman Thomas and Earl Winger (who owned a crystal radio company, and started WDOD to give people who bought their radios a station to listen to), as well as H. Clay Evans and Interstate Insurance.

Following a series of frequency changes, on November 11, 1928 the station was assigned to 1280 kHz, under the provisions of the Federal Radio Commission's General Order 40. In March 1941, with the implementation of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement, stations on 1280 kHz, including WDOD, moved to 1310 kHz. From 1948 to 1997 the station was Chattanooga's original country radio station.

Bahakel acquired the station in 1963; and added an FM simulcast on WDOD-FM in 1960. The simulcast continued until WDOD-FM changed its format to AAA. WDOD was briefly an affiliate of Air America Radio in 2005–2006. Prior to that the station had an adult standards format.  Until 2009, the station derived a portion of its programming from Scott Shannon's The True Oldies Channel from Citadel Media.

After dropping The True Oldies Channel, WDOD simulcast its sister station WDEF (1370 AM), a Fox Sports Radio affiliate, from 7 p.m. to 10 a.m.  From 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. the station aired Sporting News Radio's Tim Brando and 2 Live Stews, and the regionally syndicated Paul Finebaum show.  2 Live Stews was subsequently replaced with a local show hosted by Chris Goforth.  WDOD was the local radio affiliate of the Chattanooga Lookouts, a minor league baseball team that was the Double-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers when the station signed off and currently serve as the Double-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins.

WDOD signed off permanently on May 31, 2011. The following day the transmitter property was sold to the Baylor School for expansion. The license was returned to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the station formally deleted on July 13, 2011. Sister station WDOD-FM remained on air with a Contemporary hit radio format.

Re-Grow Your Own Celery!! - 30 Bananas a Day!
To regrow celery from store bought celery, keep the end of the stock (the part you don't eat) and soak it in water for a few days. When leaves appear from the center and grow about an inch or two in height, plant in soil covering the stock (not the leaves). When matured, cut celery just above the dirt line then cover the remaining stock with a layer of soil and water. Grow, repeat and enjoy!
Thanks for posting this, I'm starting tomorrow!
Dr Graham mentions this in his blog or book, but not such precise instructions; I did not realise he means the whole thing regrows.
Must get increasingly toward organic over time too.
Great info! I eat loads of celery, easily 2 heads/day. I put some bases in water this morning; - one has grown 2 shoots 1.5cm, within an hour!
Thanks. I never knew. Just found out about pineapple a few months ago.
And Erik- That's pretty funny, and awesome. Celery just doesn't quit.
Glad you guys liked this, thanks! I thought it was really cool when I came across the idea, as soon as I get through my current bunch of celery I'm definitely going for it.
Of all the stuff I threw into my compost pile, the celery trimmings grew themselves into a new plant.
ps- not my photo, found it online.

Hi I'm new to Target and this forum. I'm a overnight backroom/flow team member and i just had my first day. I'm enjoying it so far but could use some help. I'm still having difficulty reading the Panograms and finding the correct location. Many people told me different things but it still confuses me. For Example A27 (2) 2-1-2. Can you tell me what each of these means exactly? I think that 2-1-2 means its something like the shelf in that isle, then shelf # starting from the bottom up then spot on that shelf correct? if it is then what does the (2) mean? if not, please explain it to me. Also, they had me in the backroom pulling boxes from the line into flats or tubs if they didn't have any. What i'm confused is know where each box is suppose to go. For example, they had 5 flats and putted boxes according to type of item onto that flat. Is there a certain type that goes into flat 1, 2, and so on or is it just random every day? Like the 1st flat they had boxes on it containing something (I forgot what was on it), then the 2nd had meat, then 3rd had milk, then the 4th had coffee creamers. I would appreciate any help.
I would recommend checking the Guides forums, that might help you in your quest for information pertaining to your certain work group.
I can answer one question that you have here, your question on the planograms..
The parenthesis shows which planogram, there could be more than one in a particular isle, endcap, sidecap, etc. 0 usually means the endcap and 99 usually means sidecap, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc can be different depending on how your store handles multiples in an isle, but usually they start low and go high.. a diagram would probably explain it better. The 1st number after the parenthesis shows which section of the isle it's in, the 2nd number shows what shelf (from the bottom) and the 3rd number shows what position from that section it is.
Hopefully that explains it. I haven't worked in ages so I could be wrong and I am sure someone will correct me if I am!!
Anyhow, head over to Guides and if you still cannot find an explanation try the I'm Lost! forum and post your questions there!
Welcome! You are breaking the pulls by dept. That way it is easier to push by your fellow tm's.
Can't help with your question but greetings and salutations.
As far as the Shelf position question, here's the definitive explanation. Let's take your example, A27 (2) 2-1-2. For the purpose of this demonstration, we'll assume that ALL aisles in the store are made up of 6 four foot sections, for a total of 24 feet. This is not actually true, you'll probably notice that your store's grocery aisles are made up of 9 four foot sections, your stationary and housewares is made of 5 four foot sections, etc. It will vary. But for simplicity's sake, A27 has 6 four foot sections.
You scanned an item telling you A27 (2) 2-1-2. That item's planogram starts in section 2, or the second four foot section. This is where you start counting the next number, which is also a section number. The reason there are two section numbers is because the first one, in parentheses, tells you which physical section of the gondola the planogram starts in, and the second number is the section of that planogram that the shelf you want resides in. Then the next number is the shelf, starting with the basedeck and counting upwards. If you see A27 (2) 2-P1-2, the P indicates that it is a pegged item instead of one sitting on a shelf. Finally, the last number indicates the position on the shelf, starting from the left.
As Scram mentioned, there are specialty physical section numbers. If the number in parentheses is (0), this means an endcap. An ODD aisle number with a (0) means the FRONT endcap, and an EVEN aisle number means the BACK endcap (A27 vs A28). Remember that most items that are on an endcap also have a home location somewhere in an aisle (inline). A physical section number (99) means the item is on a sidecap, which is a small fixture holding a few impulse buys on the side of a gondola near the front or back endcap. If you want a good example, all those battery centers scattered throughout the store are sidecaps.
-Technical note: A planogram is sort of a diagram or protocol for how a part of an aisle is going to be laid out. It shows exactly how the shelves, pegs, and other fixtures are set, and also links every item that belongs there to it. Not all planograms are exactly 24 feet. Some are 4 feet, some are 8 feet, and so on. There can be 3 or 4 different planograms in one aisle to make up the total 24 feet. This is why the (2) exists. This is telling you that a new planogram is starting in physical section 2 of the aisle.
Now then, as to your other question, it sounds like you were breaking out pallets from your food load. This is best practice, though sometimes stores will skip it. If you look above the line there should be brightly colored pieces of paper above each space where a flat is parked that show what kind of food belongs on that flat. It's totally up to how your store is set up, and if they don't have those papers there, then ask around until you get familiar with the food breakout process at your store.
I had to help with re-shop in Market once and I had no idea where G45 or whatever number was, so I had to track down a Market TM (I didn't have a walkie or PDA - I was using the price scanner to get the POG #s) who told me it was on the back wall.
The only schematics that give me a hard time is the SL ones. You know it is on table I8, you see in front of you I6, I7, 9, and 10, but, 8 is off in it's on little world by active wear... Sooo glad I haven't touched softlines in almost 6 months.

Three Forms of Sudden Death
'Throughout antiquity and the Middle ages, it was widely believed that bezoars could originate from the solidified tears of deer or of horses. The Arab physician Avenzoar, who lived in Spain in the eleventh century, maintained that certain deer, when bitten by venomous serpents, swam into rivers and remained submerged until they felt the effect of the venom to subside. At this point they shed a large tear that solidified upon the deer leaving the water. Scribonius Largus, Roman physician of the first century AD., and author of one of the first works on pharmacology, De compositione medicatamentorum, also subscribed to the belief that bezoars originated from the inner canthus of the eyes of deer, from the solidification of tears...'
Three Forms of Sudden Death and other reflections on the grandeur and misery
of the human body (1986) F. Gonzalez-Crussi.
I was at that point when there's nothing left to say, that hiatus when the effort to make sense, to narrativize, is forced to take a pause and founders. The archivist takes down box after box with great care and patience. Inside, photograph upon photograph reveal gravestones and memorials, follies and temples. Sculptors pose in their studios in front of petrified flowers and lions, a young girl stands in imaginary winds, head thrown back forever in the enjoyment of a sudden summer downpour. A team of men and heavy machinery and ropes and pulleys haul an enormous block of stone through a series of old black and white photographs. Something about it makes me think again about the blocks of unhewn stone that lie about in the background of those long-ago studios, waiting to be chiselled and rendered into something meaningful. The sheer scale of this monumental block reminds me of the enormous boulders and rocks that look large on the mountains around West Yorkshire...how they have been given names - the Great Rock, the Bridestones - inserted into various narratives, used as landmarks by which to negotiate the terrain but which ultimately hold their essence to themselves, absolute in their indifference. And when I go to see them up close I'm struck by how random and meaningless and final they are. I shoot one and then another and another on Super-8 film, so that the film might register the movement and fragility of time in relation to such stillness. These massive forms all but fill the frame and block out the surrounding landscape so that when the work comes to be installed they dominate the space while a small text nearby makes a link between pain and senselessness which can only be set down through narrative form, set as if in stone, like a story of solidified sorrow.


Hale Country Club and Spa is a haven for leisure, fitness and dining, says Beatrice Tetteh. Put it on your Christmas wish list!
In the last few years Hale Country Club has provided members and visitors alike with uncompromised luxury in the form of a fantastic health and wellness spa, expertly trained personal trainers and an elegant Japanese Izakaya restaurant. Subtly referred to by many as Cheshire's best kept secret, here are my findings of a beautiful luxury experience.
I was greeted with a smile at the reception and directed to a tranquil changing area with dimmed lighting, plush seating and a distinct ambience. A theme that continued throughout the club, the upstairs gym artfully focused your mind on the session with splashes of red lighting and dark interior.
I found my personal trainer Stefan and we made our way to the cinema room (yes that is correct), what better way to start a workout than to watch your favourite film? Here the club shows your favourite shows and films all day to be enjoyed on high tech cross trainers.
Stefan, chatted to me about my concerns and target areas, this would help him to carve out a bespoke session for my needs. In the main gym area we found a matt and worked on a few exercises that helped with neuromuscular activation he said this would be key in achieving better workouts and quicker recovery. We worked on the perfect squat using the Olympic bar and I was showed correct stretching techniques as well as how to identify and problem areas, on this occasion the problem lay in a stiff right hamstring.
When the session was over I knew it was time to relax, back to the changing area and then on to the second floor spa. Indulge your senses with one of the three steam rooms. The Japanese themed Zen room is heated to around 45 degrees and infused with scents of mandarin. While, the Fire and Ice room is heated up hotter than normal steam rooms, the idea here is that crushed ice falls into the centre allowing you to stay in the room for longer.
My personal favourite is the Salt cave, visually it really does look like a salt cave, but the magic lies in the salt infused air helping to gently cleanse your respiratory system. Not to mention possibly the most popular aspect of the spa, the bubbling rooftop wellness pool, it overlooks the serene Cheshire countryside. Part of the dazzle is being in the warmth of the pool while in the crisp winter air.
For my treatment I opted for the newly added, Poultice Ritual, £165, this is an advanced signature treatment that involves traditional foot cleanses and a full body salt and oil exfoliation. My treatment was carried out by Lucy, who skilfully performed gentle Thai-style massages using herbal poultices and a range of personalised techniques.
Lucy used a combination of ESPA Resistance Body Oil and the ESPA Fitness Body Oil. The idea is to combine gentle exfoliation using heated poultices soothing muscular aches and to purify and moisturise skin. I felt completely replenished by the end of the 120 minute treatment.
Of course by this time I had worked up quite the appetite, luckily Hale country club has its very own health conscious restaurant. Fuzen is ran by head chef, Luke Johnson and features a delectable menu of exquisitely coupled Eastern flavours and British recipes, all created by executive chef, Scott Gavin. Clean eating is at the forefront of the restaurant, focusing on simple dishes some containing only 3 or 4 ingredients and cooking everything in coconut oil.
Spoilt for choice, I opted for the Peanut butter coconut milk soup and a signature sushi called 'The roll with no name', both were a delightful blend of flavours and certainly something I would order again and again. Hale country club was a fantastic experience and would be a great start to a healthier lifestyle and all while in a luxurious environment.


#008: Repacholi Revises Safety Code 6. – Dr. Magda Havas, PhD.
In this presentation Repacholi and Stuchly proposed a Canadian maximum permissible level (MPL) for microwave radiation that was between the then U.S. guideline (10 mW/cm2) and the Russian guideline (0.01 mW/cm2). The recommended MPL was 1 mW/cm2 for occupational exposure and 0.1 mW/cm2 for public exposure. These proposed guidelines are much lower than what we currently have (5 mW/cm2 for occupational exposure and 1 mW/cm2 for unlimited public exposure).
The USSR allows its workers to be exposed to 1 mW/ cm2 (current 24-hour public exposure limit for Canada and U.S.] for only 20 minutes a day and to 0.1 mW/ cm2 for only 2 hours a day (proposed guideline for public exposure that was NOT adopted).
Although most of the non-thermal effects have not yet been confirmed in the West, this does not mean the effects do not exist.
The general public represents a much larger population than the radiation workers and so one cannot accept as high a risk probability.
Unfortunately the recommended lowering of Safety Code 6 was not accepted in 1977. Today we have a much larger population exposed to even higher levels of microwave radiation and we are exposing this population to an even higher probability of risk.
If this radiation is so safe then why did Dr. Repacholi recommend a reduction in existing guidelines more than 30 years ago?
The truth is that we have no scientific evidence that this equipment (WiFi) is safe or dangerous to students as the studies with children have not been conducted! Instead we are in the middle of one of the largest human experiments ever and we are using children as guinea pigs. It will take a few years until we learn what the short-term effects are and possibly generations to learn what the long-term effects are of this technology.


I'm a Software Engineer, with 5 years of programming experience, sharing some knowledge and experience with you guys.
I was always a guy who used to run from his studies throughout my academics but as soon as i passed High School, a new subject was introduced named Introduction to C++. Despite of all boring lectures I used to enjoy C++, that was something practical, Physics, Chemistry, Maths etc is the same practical thing which all the students all over the world study at same level.
From then only books I read is about C++, I'm still a noob C++ guy but learning it everyday makes me feel better.

Emeritus Professor Gerry Carrington presented the recent Royal Society of New Zealand paper on a Green Economy for New Zealand. The good numbers attending showed the interest in this topic and in our region.
Gerry is an Emeritus Professor at the University of Otago, a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand and a Fellow of the Institution of Professional Engineers of New Zealand. He is a trustee of the National Energy Research Institute and the Blueskin Resilient Communities Trust.
In 2009, Gerry was awarded the "Outstanding Contribution to Sustainable Energy Award" by the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority, and was noted by the judging panel as being "a leader of change based on academic principles" and "an educator of future generations of energy specialists." He is also the founder of the National Energy Research Institute (NERI), an independent, research evidence-based organisation that strives to be a 'thought-leader' of the energy sector.
The United Nations Environment Programme proposes a Green Economy as an effective response to a number of linked global concerns: income disparity, population growth, green-house gas emissions, and atmospheric and freshwater pollution. Facing the future: towards a green economy for New Zealand suggests that NZ can respond to these issues and achieve economic, social and environmental benefits by becoming a green economy, which is: low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive.
A key message of the talk is drawn from the Global Risks 2014 report: "collaborative multi-stakeholder action is required as businesses, governments, or civil society alone do not have the tools and the authority to tackle systemic risks".
The Royal Society of New Zealand says environmental problems are beginning to threaten social and economic well-being and that New Zealand would benefit from a move to a green economy.
In Facing the future: towards a green economy for New Zealand, the Society highlights research on the resource and consumption challenges facing New Zealand and the rest of the world, and the opportunities for dealing with them. It concludes that New Zealand can have a number of economic, social and environmental gains by accelerating its move to a green economy.
Human consumption growth over the last century has had significant effects on the global environment, such as reduced water quality, loss of biodiversity and a changing climate. These environmental changes are not good for long-term sustainability and well-being. The panel agrees that New Zealand can avoid adverse consequences for the economy, society and the environment if it reconsiders its direction of development.
New Zealand has several targets for reducing national net greenhouse gas emissions, including a 50% reduction by 2050 compared with 1990. However, recent modelling by the Ministry for the Environment indicates that by 2040 New Zealand's net GHG emissions are expected to be 51% higher than the 1990 baseline.
A green economy is defined by the United Nations Environment Programme as being resource efficient, low carbon and socially inclusive. The Society says New Zealand is well positioned to become a green economy with its many natural advantages, such as extensive renewable energy sources. We also have many opportunities to increase our resource efficiency, which means improved productivity. Many businesses and organisations are already aiming for sustainability. Communities are working together for change, and innovators and entrepreneurs are ready to grasp the opportunities of a greener economy.
The paper identifies a number of barriers that need to be overcome, such as the perception there are trade-offs between being economically competitive and being sustainable, and that a green economy might lead to a lower standard of living. Raqher, there is growing recognition of alternative indicators better suited than GDP for capturing the quality, quantity and sustainability of economic activity.
The aim of the paper is to encourage the discussions that will help shape a sustainable future. Becoming a green economy will require action and collaboration across all sectors of society. It's good that we are already seeing this happen.
The paper was authored by a Royal Society of New Zealand panel chaired by Emeritus Professor Gerry Carrington FRSNZ. The Panel members were: Professor Geoff Austin FRSNZ, Dr Sea Rotmann, Professor Ralph Sims CRSNZ, Dr Janet Stephenson, Professor John Boys FRSNZ, Professor Les Oxley FRSNZ, and Dame Anne Salmond CBE FRSNZ.

Chris Bromley is a senior geothermal researcher and geophysical consultant at GNS Science, with 35 years of international experience, including resource assessments, geophysical exploration, and environmental studies of geothermal fields and mineral deposits in 8 countries.
Chris is currently the Co-Editor-in-Chief of Geothermics, Chairman of the IEA Geothermal Implementing Agreement, a member of the IPGT Induced Seismicity Working Group, and heads international geothermal environmental-effects research.
Renewable energy will be crucial for the long-term future of all mankind. In New Zealand, we are relatively fortunate, in that renewable geothermal energy is already a major contributor (18%) to base-load electricity supply and industrial direct heat demand. Decades of well-focussed applied research has given us a global technological advantage in developing and utilising all types of geothermal resources, through cost-effective and environmentally benign strategies.
Gazing into the crystal ball, what additional future use could we make of our geothermal resources? Should we attempt to develop say 3 GW(e) of surplus cheap geothermal power in the hopes of exporting it to Australia by cable or fully electrifying our transport sector, or should we develop say 10 GW(th) of hot water resources to establish large district heating schemes and attract more energy intensive industry?
To address these questions we need to be confident that our geothermal resource use will be sustainable, and utilisation won't cause unwanted adverse environmental effects, or detract from our significant geothermal tourism assets. This requires better calibrated simulation modelling of long-term reservoir behaviour, adaptive management to facilitate flexible injection and production strategies, and more-advanced monitoring of reservoir behaviour in order to inform the adaptive decision-making process.
Boreholes provide data for 3D models of reservoir properties, and a means of directly monitoring various parameters of interest (eg. pressure, temperature, fluid chemistry). Geophysics monitoring and exploration (eg. gravity, resistivity, micro-earthquake activity, seismic velocity tomography, and ground deformation) offer more indirect information on resources. Integrated interpretation with geochemistry and hydrothermal alteration processes is the key to better conceptual understanding, improved simulation models of reservoir behaviour, and more astute reservoir management.
Chris Bromley was a lead author of the geothermal chapter of the IPCC renewable energy report (SRREN), a reviewer of EGS projects for the US-DOE, and keynote/invited speaker at 14 international meetings.
In New Zealand, he peer reviews operational management of several geothermal fields and provides technical advice to regulators. He has published 88 refereed papers, 103 others, and 184 consulting reports; he has presented at 73 conferences, and convened five international workshops on induced seismicity, sustainability, global geothermal potential, geothermal innovation and environmental mitigation.

Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks
** A "what we heard" document has been posted in the document library for review. This is a summary of the input we collected in phase #1 and will inform the draft management plan. **
Are you inspired by the beauty and history of the Columbia Mountains region? Help shape the future of this special place.
Three significant places – one comprehensive plan!
Mount Revelstoke and Glacier national parks, and Rogers Pass National Historic Site
New management plans are due in 2020 for all the mountain national parks including Mount Revelstoke and Glacier national parks, and Rogers Pass National Historic Site. The management plan lays out the future direction for the parks including a vision, key strategies and objectives to achieve over the next 5 to 10 years. It is developed in collaboration with Indigenous partners, stakeholders and interested Canadians.
Have your say! This is an opportunity for all Canadians to have input in the next park management plan for Mount Revelstoke and Glacier national parks, and Rogers Pass National Historic Site.
Mount Revelstoke and Glacier national parks protect and present examples of the unique Columbia Mountains Natural Region, characterized by steep mountain terrain, glaciers and dense vegetation. The area's precipitation supports the world's only inland cedar-hemlock temperate rainforest, and in winter results in heavy snowfall and unique avalanche challenges.
In Mount Revelstoke, Glacier and Rogers Pass, nature and culture are intricately linked. From Indigenous peoples to early explorers and railway builders to motorists on the Trans-Canada Highway today, the most direct route from east to west led through the formidable Columbia Mountain ranges. The natural landscapes and terrain have sustained, inspired and challenged those who travel through.
Have questions about Mount Revelstoke and Glacier national parks, and Rogers Pass National Historic Site? Want to know more about park management planning? Ask your questions here and we will do our best to answer them!
Ask a question *Required
What needs to happen for the federal government to recognize the 10,000 year old rainforest that is threatened and unprotected south of Glacier National Park and extending to the Bugaboos and Goat Range Park? This area of the very little remaining ancient inland temperate rainforest is globally recognized as a significantly rare and highly biodiverse. BC people are crying out for the protection of the Selkirk Mountain Caribou Park proposal, which includes valuable habitat for the Central Selkirk herd of mountain caribou. What needs to happen to see this protected once and for all?
thecedarbear asked almost 2 years ago
Parks Canada is responsible for the protection and presentation of the natural and cultural heritage within Glacier National Park. To contribute to regional conservation efforts, Parks Canada collaborates with partners and neighbouring land managers to achieve shared goals for the protection of Columbia Mountains' ecosystems, landscapes and biodiversity.
The Government of Canada's has committed to protect 17% of Canada's land and inland waters by 2020. As part of that commitment, the Nature Legacy Fund is investing over $1 billion in partnership with corporate, not-for-profit, provincial, territorial, and other partners to secure private land, support provincial and territorial species protection efforts, and help build Indigenous capacity to conserve land and species.
FAQ: What is a management plan?
A management plan outlines the vision, key strategies, objectives and targets for a national park or national historic site:
· To protect and present these special places, and foster public understanding, appreciation and enjoyment in ways that ensure the ecological and commemorative integrity of these places for present and future generations.
· To guide operations and priorities over a 5 to 10 year time frame.
It is the primary public accountability document for each national park.
Current legislation requires that every management plan be reviewed a minimum of every ten years and any resulting amendments be tabled in Parliament. The management planning process involves: assessing the current state of park resources; determining key trends, pressures and opportunities; and setting priorities. Management plans are drafted in collaboration and consultation with Indigenous peoples, stakeholders, and interested Canadians.
FAQ: Why is Parks Canada consulting on the management plan for Mount Revelstoke and Glacier national parks?
Parks Canada achieves its mandate and vision through the active participation of its team members, stakeholders, partners and the support of Canadians. Consultation helps Parks Canada develop sound policies, and improve programs and projects; consultation also helps all parties better understand these policies, programs, and projects. Parks Canada's consultation processes adhere to the Agency's guiding principles of respect, openness, inclusiveness, transparency, reasonability, accessibility, and accountability.
FAQ: What will Parks Canada do with the feedback it receives through consultation?
The Parks Canada team will read all of the content received through consultation. We will then consider how this feedback can be used to inform the development of the management plan for Mount Revelstoke and Glacier national parks, and Rogers Pass National Historic Site. Participants should check back regularly at www.letstalkmountainparks.ca for updates on what we've heard through consultation, important milestones, and further opportunities to get involved.

THE SOLO CRISTO MISSION
@SOLOCRISTOMISSION
SOLO CRISTO OVERVIEW
Solo Cristo, Spanish for "Christ Alone," (solo-cristo.org) is a grass-roots Lutheran Christian ministry Gospel-centered mission in the South American country of Paraguay and supported in part by Ascension Lutheran Church of Sarasota Florida. More information is further down this page.
"LA NATIVIDAD" - A FILM FEATURING THE CHILDREN OF NUEVA ALIANZA
"La Natividad" is the story of Jesus' birth as told by the children of Nueva Alianza, Paraguay. This was produced as a grass-roots community collaboration with various families in Nueva Alianza, Paraguay (including post production and soundtrack) over four days in July of 2021. It features many local children from the village of Nueva Alianza and its neighboring town of Yataity del Norte. A nativity themed VBS was led for the week prior to filming by visiting missionary Sherri Medico, who serves as the preschool director for Ascension Lutheran Church in Sarasota, Florida, USA. The film was filmed and edited over three days by Ascension member Kelly Warner, with production assistance and guitar music by Pastor Marty Mielke of Ascension.

In the coinage of the North Indian and Central Asian Kushan Empire (approximately 30-375 CE) the main coins issued were gold, weighing 7.9g., and base metal issues of various weights between 12g and 1.5g. Little silver coinage was issued, but in later periods the gold used was debased with silver.
The coin designs usually broadly follow the styles of the preceding Greco-Bactrian rulers in using Hellenistic styles of image, with a deity on one side and the king on the other. Kings may be shown as a profile head, a standing figure, typically officiating at a fire altar in Zoroastrian style, or mounted on a horse. The artistry of the dies is generally lower than the exceptionally high standards of the best coins of Greco-Bactrian rulers. Continuing influence from Roman coins can be seen in designs of the late 1st and 2nd century CE, and also in mint practices evidenced on the coins, as well as a gradual reduction in the value of the metal in base metal coins, so that they become virtual tokens. Iranian influence, especially in the royal figures and the pantheon of deities used, is even stronger. Under Kanishka the royal title of "King of kings" changed from the Greek "ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΝ" to the Persian form "ϷAONANOϷAO" (Shah of Shahs).
Much of what little information we have of Kushan political history derives from coins. The language of inscriptions is typically the Bactrian language, written in a script derived from Greek. Many coins show the tamga symbols (see table) as a kind of monogram for the ruler. There were several regional mints, and the evidence from coins suggests that much of the empire was semi-independent.
The Kushan religious pantheon is extremely varied, as revealed by their coins and their seals, on which more than 30 different gods appear, belonging to the Hellenistic, the Iranian, and to a lesser extent the Indian world. Greek deities, with Greek names are represented on early coins. During Kanishka's reign, the language of the coinage changes to Bactrian (though it remained in Greek script for all kings). After Huvishka, only two divinities appear on the coins: Ardoxsho and Oesho (see details below).
Ηλιος (Helios), Ηφαηστος (Hephaistos), Σαληνη (Selene), Ανημος (Anemos). Further, the coins of Huvishka also portray the demi-god erakilo Heracles, and the Egyptian god sarapo Sarapis.
MacDowell (1968) identified three regional copper issues of Kajula Kadphises and Vima Taktu of separate coinage in their first issue, which would correspond to the three previous realms making up the Kushan empire. The northern area, Bactria which had the largest sized coins of 12g (tetradrachms) and 1.5g, Gandhara whose coinage weighed 9-10g for large and 2g for small, and the Indian area, where coins are 4g each.
MacDowell (1960) proposed a gradual reduction of all three issues starting with Huvishka, while Chattopadhyay (1967) proposes a rapid devaluation of the issue by Kanishka. It seems that there were two reductions based on the coinage of the rulers just named. Later issues were unified into a central coinage system of weights.

Vima Kadphises issued three denominations of for this metal, a two of 15.75 grammes, a one of 7.8 grammes and a quarter dinar piece of 1.95 grammes.
A pantheon directed by a thunderboltwielding autocrat might suggest a patriarchy and the valuing of warrior skills. A pantheon headed by a great-mother goddess could suggest an agricultural society. To confront the pantheon of the Egyptians is to confront a worldview marked by a sense of death and resurrection and the agricultural importance of the cycles of nature. The Greek pantheon is a metaphor for a view of life that values art and the power of the individual. Max Webers 1922 opus Economy and Society discusses the link between a pantheon of gods and the development of monotheism, Pantheon can refer to a temple or sacred building explicitly dedicated to all deities, avoiding the difficulty of giving an exhaustive list. The most known such structure is the Pantheon of Rome, first built between the years 27 BCE and 14 CE, the building standing today was constructed on the same site around 126 CE. It was dedicated to all gods as a gesture embracing the religious syncretism in the increasingly multicultural Roman Empire, with subjects worshipping gods from many cultures, the building was renovated for use as a Christian church in 609 under Pope Boniface IV.
The Yaz culture of Bactria-Margiana has been regarded as a likely archaeological reflection of the early Eastern Iranian culture described in the Avesta. Avestans status as a language has ensured its continuing use for new compositions long after the language had ceased to be a living language. It is closely related to Vedic Sanskrit, the oldest preserved Indo-Aryan language, which is associated with northeastern Iran, and Old Persian, which belongs to the southwest, together constitute what is called Old Iranian. The Old Iranian language group is a branch of the Indo-Iranian language group, Iranian languages are traditionally classified as eastern or western, and within this framework Avestan is classified as eastern. But this distinction is of limited meaning for Avestan, as the developments that distinguish Eastern from Western Iranian had not yet occurred. Avestan does not display some typical Western Iranian innovations already visible in Old Persian, Old Avestan is closely related to Old Persian and in some extent close in nature to Vedic Sanskrit.
It is believed that it might be close to a dialect of Pashto as well. The Avestan language is attested in two forms, known as Old Avestan and Younger Avestan. Younger Avestan did not evolve from Old Avestan, the two not only in time, but are different dialects. Every Avestan text, regardless of whether originally composed in Old or Younger Avestan, Karl Hoffmann traced the following stages for Avestan as found in the extant texts. In roughly chronological order, The natural language of the composers of the Gathas, the Yasna Haptanghaiti, the script used for writing Avestan developed during the 3rd or 4th century AD. By the language had been extinct for centuries. As is still the case today, the liturgies were memorized by the priesthood, the script devised to render Avestan was natively known as Din dabireh religion writing. It has 53 distinct characters and is written right-to-left and these symbols, like those of all the Pahlavi scripts, are in turn based on Aramaic script symbols. Avestan incorporates several letters from other writing systems, most notably the vowels, a few letters were free inventions, as were the symbols used for punctuation.
Aredvi Sura Anahita is Ardwisur Anahid or Nahid in Middle- and Modern Persian, Anahit or Anaheed in Armenian. The Greek and Roman historians of classical antiquity refer to her either as Anaïtis or identified her with one of the divinities from their own pantheons,270 Anahita, a silicaceous S-type asteroid is named after her. Only Arədevī is specific to the divinity and it might have been derived from Arya devi The words sūra and anāhīta are generic Avestan language adjectives, and respectively mean mighty and pure. Both adjectives appear as epithets of other divinities or divine concepts such as Haoma, both adjectives are attested in Vedic Sanskrit. In its old Iranian form *Harahvatī, her name was given to the region, rich in rivers and it might have been derived from the Goddess Sarasvati. In the Persian texts of the Sassanid and eras, Arədvī Sūra Anāhīta appears as Ardwisur Anāhīd, the evidence suggest a western Iranian origin of Anāhīta. She shares characteristics with Mat Zemlya in Slavic mythology and it was moreover the association with the planet Venus, it seems, which led Herodotus to record that the learnt to sacrifice to the heavenly goddess from the Assyrians and Arabians.
Ishtar apparently gave Aredvi Sura Anahita the epithet Banu, the Lady and it is completely unknown in the texts of the Avesta, but evident in Sassanid-era middle Persian inscriptions and in a middle Persian Zend translation of Yasna 68.13. Also in Zoroastrian texts from the post-conquest epoch, the divinity is referred to as Anahid the Lady, Ardwisur the Lady, according to Boyce, it is probable that there was once a Perso–Elamite divinity by the name of *Anahiti. It is likely that it was this divinity that was an analogue of Ishtar, and that it is this divinity with which Aredvi Sura Anahita was conflated. The cosmological qualities of the river are alluded to in Yasht 5, but properly developed only in the Bundahishn. In both texts, Aredvi Sura Anahita is not only a divinity, but the source of the world river and the world river itself. This source is at the top of the world mountain Hara Berezaiti, High Hara, around which the sky revolves and that is at the center of Airyanem Vaejah, the first of the lands created by Mazda.

Nach der Ausbildung zum Fernmeldetechniker trat er in den Dienst der Reichstelegraphenverwaltung. Am 10. Juli 1908 wurde er Leiter des in Zusammenarbeit mit der Firma Siemens & Halske in Hildesheim errichteten und in Betrieb genommenen ersten öffentlichen Telefon-Wählamtes Deutschlands.

1920 stieg er als Postdirektor zum Präsidenten des Telegraphentechnischen Reichsamtes, des späteren Reichspostzentralamtes auf. Dieses entstand durch eine Zusammenlegung mehrerer Einrichtungen der Reichspost, zu der unter anderen das "Telegraphenversuchsamt", "Telegraphenapparateamt", "Fernsprechlinienbüro" und "Funkbetriebsamt" gehörten. 1928 wurde das "Telegraphentechnische Reichsamt" wiederum in "Reichspostzentralamt" umbenannt. Im "Reichspostzentralamt" waren die Mitarbeiter auch mit Forschungsaufgaben beschäftigt, wobei die Entwicklung und Beschaffung von technischen Innovationen und Einrichtungen des Post-, Telegrafen-, Telefon- und Funkwesens im Zentrum des Interesses stand. In besonderem Maße hatte sich Kruckow der Ausbildung des vollautomatischen Fernsprechverkehrs zugewandt.

Zwischen 1928 und 1933 war er auch Mitglied und zuletzt für kurze Zeit zwischen Januar und März 1933 auch Vorsitzender des Verwaltungsrates der Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft (RRG).

1929 wurde er zunächst Ministerialdirektor im Reichspostministerium. 1932 erfolgte dann seine Ernennung zum Staatssekretär im Reichspostministerium als Nachfolger des in den Ruhestand verabschiedeten Ernst Feyerabend.

Am 15. Februar 1933 wurde er als Nachfolger von Hans Bredow auch Reichsrundfunkkommissar. Bereits am 22. März 1933 wurde aufgrund der Einigung von Reichspostminister Paul Freiherr von Eltz-Rübenach mit dem Reichsminister für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda Joseph Goebbels der Rundfunk aus dem Zuständigkeitsbereich des Post- in den des Propagandaministeriums überführt. Kruckow selbst wurde noch am gleichen Tag in den vorzeitigen Ruhestand verabschiedet.
