NIJMEGEN, THE NETHERLANDS - November 08, 2018. Trymax Semiconductor Equipment BV (Trymax), a global leader in plasma solutions for semiconductor manufacturers, has reached a milestone this month celebrating 15 years of business. As a testimonial of its success, the company recently won the entrepreneurial prize from the Dutch financial institution FD Gazellen(1) .
"We have come a long way since I started the company" commented Leo Meijer, founder and CEO of Trymax. "Year after year we built trust as a reliable partner with our customers, demonstrated the competitiveness of our solutions, and continuously grew our business to become today a leader in the global plasma technology ecosystem".
Trymax started its activities in 2003 by providing services to the so-called legacy plasma-based equipment. A few years after, the company developed its own range of equipment for photoresist stripping, wafer descum, etching, and cleaning. NEO™ platform was launched in 2008 featuring state-of-the-art technologies and compliant with wafer size up to 200mm. First significant business wins were in Asia with packaging houses where the best performance, cost of ownership, reliability tradeoffs were met by Trymax's solution. Wider adoption by integrated design manufacturers and foundries through the world happened in the following years. Product portfolio extended from single to 4 chamber systems for wafers up to 300mm with a broad range of options and plasma chambers to match the specific customer's requirements. To support the business growth, Trymax opened regional offices in Milan (Italy) and Suzhou (China) and developed a global network of sales and customer support. Today the company has more than 250 systems in the field and focuses its activities on its NEO™ platform. Investing a significant amount of its revenues in R&D, Trymax plans to keep on introducing innovative solutions to support the global semiconductor manufacturers.
Trymax will be exhibiting at SEMICON Europa in Munich (Germany) from Nov 13 to 16th. To celebrate the anniversary and the importance of the European customers and business partners, Trymax will host a party on their booth on Nov 14th at 4pm.

Visitors are invited to stop by booth #237 in hall 4 to learn about Trymax innovative solutions and meet with the executive and business team.

Simple Chicken Paella
Aaliyah is a massive fan of chicken and rice. When I say chicken and rice, I mean chicken curry with rice. It's her staple. I know if I'm serving this up for dinner, there will be no complaints - no little fussy pointy fingers coming out – 'mummy what's that?', she'll gobble it down and will have a full satisfied little belly. Not just Aaliyah's though – the hubby's too. Whilst this is great, I'm not overly keen on feeding Aaliyah the same meals; I don't want her to get 'comfortable' with what she knows. I'm trying my best to keep meals interesting for her so I decided to cook up a variation of chicken and rice.
Introducing my BIG FAT FAMILY PAELLA! This is delicious! It includes two of Aaliyah's favourite ingredients – chicken and rice, but it's a totally different cuisine. And the fact that paella's are so bright and colourful is really appealing to kids. I'm not going to lie - this does create some extra washing but it is totally worth it.
Aaliyah's verdict – well initially she looked at her bowl and said 'where's the REAL chicken and rice' but as you know Aaliyah is not a fussy eater; she'll happily try new things. She ate, scoffed and loved! Another one to add to the list!
Serves family of 4. Total preparation and cooking time: 35-40mins.
- 425g (15oz) white basmati rice
- 1 litre (1¾ pints) chicken stock – reduced salt variety
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- Pinch of saffron
- 30ml (1fl oz) vegetable oil
- 700g (1lb 9oz) chicken breast fillets – skinless, boneless, cubed
- 6 cloves of garlic – peeled, minced
- Salt to taste (optional)
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 2 chillies – red and green (optional) – stems chopped, pounded to paste
- 2 bell peppers (green and red) – washed, deseeded, chopped
- Fresh coriander (cilantro) or parsley for garnish - chopped
Add the rice, stock, turmeric, saffron and oil to a large pot and stir. Bring to the boil and simmer (covered) on low heat for 10-12mins until the rice is tender.
Whilst the rice is cooking, stir-fry the chicken cubes with garlic, salt to taste (if you wish), black pepper and chillies (if you like a little heat). Stir-fry until tender and set aside.
Finally, grill the peppers on a griddle pan for a few minutes to give them a lovely smoky flavour. I like to do this at the same time as stir-frying the chicken to save time.
Combine everything and garnish with a little chopped parsley or coriander. Serve immediately.

The Greek champions confirmed they had sealed a deal for the 26-year-old on their official club website.
The fee for the DR Congo international, who joined Portsmouth from Newcastle in 2004 after an initial spell on loan, is thought to be in the region of £2.8m.
LuaLua played 59 games for the Magpies before heading to Fratton Park where he scored 19 goals in 91 games.
Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp, who had revealed a move was imminent on Saturday, admitted: "Lua wants to move on, but I've no doubt he'll go away and be a great player for Olympiakos.
"He wants a change, he wants to play in a role behind the strikers and he wants to move abroad.
"He will get to play in the Champions League by moving to Greece.
"He has been a top Premier League player and he'll be a top player for them," Redknapp added.
LuaLua, who began his career with Colchester United, initially moved to Fratton Park on loan from Newcastle in February 2004 before making a £1.7m switch that summer.
Olympiakos have already strengthened this summer with the arrival of Real Madrid defender Raul Bravo and striker Darko Kovacevic from Real Sociedad.

Inslee spokeswoman Lisa Harper said that outgoing U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu had informed the governor on Friday that the leak involved six tanks. She said the leak had not been stopped.

For a long time, I've been struck by the intricate and sometimes beautiful shapes of foam inserts. They have been purposefully designed to coddle electronics, appliances and other delicate items as they are transported across many miles by plane and boat. Made out of polystyrene, polyethylene, or other foams, they withstand the abuse of UPS and Fed Ex drivers who toss them in and out of trucks. Only existing for the objects they're built to protect, they are merely shells to be cast aside once the valued item is removed.
For this series, I have taken these non-objects, these things-built-for-things and elevated them into objects in themselves. Divorced from their original purpose, they have been saved from their fate as trash and reborn as bricks, blocks, arches and slabs.
These two dimensional paintings are flat studies of offcuts and glimpses, voids and edges, often derived from sculptures and three dimensional objects.
Sidewalk or gutter detritus, flattened, usually by cars, sometimes mangled or ripped into parts—these are mysterious remnants that suggest industry, parties or daily domestic life. They become markers of life in a walkable city, where smashed paper wrappers can be compared to the insect-eaten leaves you find on a forest path or tide-wrecked sand dollars on a beach.
Maps and instructions—directions to unknown places without using words.
In this series, I contemplate discarded objects in my immediate urban environment as archaeological finds collected in the distant future. Discards are re-imagined as ceremonial objects, ritualistic tools and protective talismans—the kinds of objects that people construct and utilize in times of affliction to call upon higher powers. I explore the universality, not just geographically, but temporally, of people trying to summon or ward off imaginary forces with physical aids.
The passage of time confers value upon the mundane objects of ancient cultures. In the same way, our current-day detritus might hold the same interest for future civilizations. Taking this idea a step further, I artificially apply order, structure and ritualistic meaning to objects that have none, attempting to impose a sense of importance onto valueless shards.
In the years ahead, a time of limited resources might drive the construction of such makeshift contraptions in a desperate attempt to reach for cosmological answers—as people use whatever they can find to activate a connection between the terrestrial and celestial.
"Eights" are studies of circles divided into 8 wedges. Almost all umbrellas are constructed this way. If disassembled, what forms can they take beyond a circle? The sculptures give a few answers. The drawings suggest a language that such an object might speak... if it had something to say.
Disassembling the tools used to play a game forces us into a state of nostalgia about the traditions that imbue it, and memories of holding the cards or feeling the ball hit the strings of the racquet.

Lantronix Narrows Q1 Loss
Thursday, November 1, 2012
Irvine-based networking equipment maker Lantronix Inc. posted a narrowed fiscal first-quarter loss of $430,000 through September.
That compared with $1.4 million in red ink a year earlier.
The company posted an adjusted profit of $48,000 compared to a loss of $697,000 a year ago. Analysts on average had expected an adjusted loss of $727,000 in the latest quarter.
Quarterly revenue was roughly flat with a year earlier at $11.2 million.
Lantronix makes electronic devices and software that allow secure online communication with medical equipment, security devices, smart phones, motor vehicles, meters and thermostats, retail terminals and ATMs.
The company is in the midst of a turnaround effort under Chief Executive Kurt Busch, who set out to cut costs, lower inventory, identify growth opportunities and raise capital in his first year at the helm.
He recently crafted a second-year game plan with an eye toward driving future revenue.
In the recently ended quarter Lantronix launched a premier partner program to boost sales for vendors, distributors and system integrators; hired industry veteran Lei Zhong to lead sales in the Asia Pacific region; and inked a distribution deal for its xPrintServer product line at Fry's Electronics Mega Stores.
The external print server, compatible with Apple devices, supports thousands of printers from brands such as HP, Brother, Epson, Canon, Dell and Xerox.
Lantronix announced a deal on Wednesday with the European division of Santa Ana-base Ingram Micro Inc., the world's largest technology distributor.
The company today began shipping a server geared for small businesses that connects devices and machines to workplace applications and a software package that allows information technology managers to integrate and manage equipment remotely.
The new product road map is pegged to quadruple the company's addressable market to $2.8 billion, according to Busch.
Lantronix shares were down 3% at the close of trading Thursday to a market value of $22.8 million.
The company has undergone a restructuring and battled executive and board shake-ups in the last year as it struggled for profitability.

A search engine marketing company UK is more than just an SEO company. A SEO company UK will use unpaid and natural means to enhance the ranking of a website. But a search engine marketing company UK will also use paid means to enhance the search engine ranking of a website. While SEO is considered as one of the best ways to increase search engine rankings, it doesn't harm you if you have a backup plan to fall back on, paid searches in this instant.
What are the different paid search options available from a search engine marketing company UK? One of the ways is to use PPC or Pay Per Click. PPC is offered by top websites Google, Yahoo! and MSN as a separate service. If you opt for a PPC campaign your website is listed separately in search engine results. When someone clicks on the link you pay the hosting website an amount that is pre-decided. Not every SEO company UK offers PPC and this is why, if you want this option, you should look for a search engine marketing company UK.
Since you are getting into SEO your first priority will be unpaid means of enhancing website ranking. Your search engine marketing company UK will have the usual high performing tools to use here. Your SEO company UK will analyze the performance of your website, optimize the keywords for your website, change the content of your website, market it using article and blog directories, do social media marketing and also create links for your website. All these will together increase the page rank for your website and also drive targeted traffic to your website. More targeted traffic will obviously mean more revenue for your business.
But what if your SEO efforts dont bring in the desired result? Although the chances of this happening is not that much when you have a top search engine marketing company as your SEO partner, it is always good to be prepared. You may ask your SEO company UK to get into the PPC mode for your website. That may click for you. The other better option is to combine paid and unpaid means till the time your website reaches the stage you have been looking for. Once this status is reached you may get rid of the paid means.
A top search engine marketing company will generally be experienced, have a range of SEO packages for you to choose from and also have a bunch of happy customers. A professional SEO company UK will not let you go once you partner. They will keep developing more so that you are always happy.
Your search engine marketing company can bring in immense benefits for your website and online business. As your SEO strategy generates more and more online business for you, you will be able to expand more and make your business better and bigger. But remember to keep your SEO company UK as your partner all the time so that the top spot in SERP is never relinquished by your website.

Planned Parenthood
After a bit of an absence it feels really nice to have Planned Parenthood people back in my life. There was some fundraiser back in May, or so, but since August things have been a little more regular, and last week there were two events back to back; a debate watch on (9/26) and then a little s'mores and cider Autumn-themed party. Can't say I've had that much to drink on a Monday/Tuesday back to back before, but it was all for a good cause, and it's been really great just to have like-minded people surrounding me again
Speaking of things that are coming back into my life… my guilty TV-pleasure, Lucifer, is back again too. With season one ending on (4/25) and season two starting on (9/19) fans of show, both real and slightly ironic like myself, really didn't have to wait long to get more Lucifer. Is the writing any worse? Heck, it's kind of hard to tell with this show, but I'm still 'enjoying' it? Glad to have it back, especially as we enter Autumn, and I need crappy TV to keep me occupied while I ride the stationary bike.
And speaking of Autumn; that of course, is back and I'm liking it so far. Can't say I come out of Summer with any regrets really. If there's any year when I used every day of nice weather to my advantage, it was this year. I ran a lot. I'm almost coming on the 1-year anniversary of dedicating myself to a better, more exercise-filled life, but more on that (10/10). I kind of wish Autumn would **** or get off the bucket though, I hate these days that are 50 degrees in the morning and 70 in the afternoon: how are you supposed to dress for that?
Formula 1
Finally, if there's one more thing that's really defining what's on my mind on a week-to-week basis, it's Formula 1. With only 5 races left this year, Nico Rosberg is in the lead with 23 points after an amazing Singapore and Malaysia Grand Prix. As a fan of Nico, I can't really relax because a lot can happen in 5 races. Heck, actually, it's possible for him to lose that lead in just ONE race. Still, I'm rooting for him and looking forward to a good fight.

The Dilon Molecular Imaging System is a specialized camera designed to image various organs. This system has been optimized to perform Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) and is a strong diagnostic tool in early breast cancer detection. Using MBI as an adjunct to mammography results in an almost fourfold increase in invasive cancer detection in women with dense breast tissue. MBI has a higher specificity than MRI and has proven to reduce benign biopsies by 50%. With a negative predictive value of 98% MBI is the beacon in dense breast tissue. The system offers MBI biopsy capability which provides an additional tool to accurately localize the region of interest.
The Dilon MBI procedure is an excellent problem-solving tool when faced with difficult-to-diagnose patients with:
For the breast radiologist:
For the breast surgeon:
MBI uses a pharmaceutical tracer that is absorbed by the breast tissue. The cancerous cells in the breast absorb a greater amount of the tracer than normal, healthy cells. As a result, the tracer "lights up" the cancerous areas inside the breast and the malignant cells appear as "dark spots" on the MBI image. Patients find the exam to be very comfortable, unlike mammography, as there is minimal compression and they are seated throughout the process.
Its similarity to mammographic positioning makes the MBI an easy modality for any trained mammographer to learn and use, and allows easy comparison to the original mammography views by the radiologist. The breast cancer scanning procedure may begin five minutes after the patient has been injected with a small amount of radioactive tracer (Tc-99m Sestamibi). The entire breast cancer screening study takes approximately 40-45 minutes and images are immediately available for a physician's interpretation.
The Dilon Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) Procedure can detect cancers missed by mammography and ultrasound, while leading to fewer benign biopsies than MRI. According to clinical studies, MBI has very high sensitivity for identifying earlier stage cancers as small as 1 mm. Clinical indications of MBI include:

One of the most important factors for a successful M&A transaction is a quick integration of the acquired business into the purchaser's organisation. However, post-closing disputes between seller and purchaser arise constantly and distract the attention of purchaser's management from the integration of the acquired business. Such disputes comprise damages claims in connection with guarantees and warranties but frequently relate to completion accounts issues.
Completion accounts issues arise because most share and purchase agreements (SPA) contain purchase price adjustment clauses. Such clauses are based on key ratios like net asset value (i.e., total assets less total liabilities), working capital (i.e., current assets less current liabilities) or on earnings figures (e.g., earnings before interest and taxes). An adjustment of the purchase price is triggered by the deviation of the respective ratios or figures determined on the basis of the completed accounts as per the closing date and the ratios and figures as stipulated in the SPA as per the signing date, unless the changes are below a so-called de-minimis threshold.
Purchase price adjustment clauses are used to account for changes between signing and closing. The purchase price is usually negotiated as per the signing date based on the latest annual financial statements, recent pro-forma statements and on information obtained as a result of due diligence. However, because the transaction is closed a couple of months after signing, the accounts of the acquired business may be impacted in multiple ways leading to a deviation from the accounts anticipated as per the signing date. Therefore, the net asset value, working capital or the respective earnings figure may be higher or lower than agreed to in the SPA.

As many of you know, what I appreciate and value most from the women I photograph is not only their courage to step out in front of the camera, but their willingness to share their stories to encourage, educate, and empower other women on a variety of subjects. Whether it's physical health, body image, diversity, entrepreneurship, motherhood, or leadership, the voice that women have to share their stories is something I am privileged to be a part of as a photographer and writer.
A few months ago I had the honor of meeting and photographing Daniella Dayoub-Forrest, a health, fitness, and nutrition coach and owner of DFitLife, based here in the Bay Area. You can imagine my surprise that, given her background in fitness, a social media post she shared recently revealed her diagnosis with osteoporosis. I was curious to see if she'd be willing to share a bit more about her story and she graciously agreed to shed light on not only her own personal journey with this diagnosis, but also her her journey as a woman navigating and growing through many of the body-image challenges we as women commonly encounter today.
I hope Daniella's post below helps you or someone you may know of. You can follow Daniella's journey through her blog www.baredbones.net . Spread the word on something that will help improve women's health everywhere!
Here I sit, 42 years old, and seemingly at the peak of my health.
I own my own health coaching business and personal training studio. I have a thriving 8 year old daughter. I am married to the most amazing man. I eat my veggies and try not to overdo the wine. I have a fabulous group of girlfriends. Both of my parents are aging healthfully. And I honestly like my own body when I look in the mirror.
Basically, I have it all. Except strong bones.
The above paragraph sounds like I'm braggadocious. But no. I spent most of my life from my teen years through part of my thirties being the harshest critic of myself. Nothing I did was smart enough. Nothing I ate was healthy enough. I wasn't skinny enough, or pretty enough.
Enough for what?! Who knows.
But that self-criticism and need to be perfect manifested into an eating disorder. And while outwardly I looked just like the picture of health I was selling to my clients, on the inside, my skeleton was starting to disappear.
At 29 years old, I was attempting to snowboard (having been a skier my whole life), and struggling to say the least. My boyfriend was really good, and I wanted desperately to ramp up to his abilities. But as I was just getting my bearings, I caught a little air down a slope, and as my feet landed back down on the snow, my left lower leg shattered. I knew instantly that it was a severe break. When we finally got to the hospital, the X-rays revealed that I had indeed shattered my distal tibia like glass, and broken the adjacent fibula as well. All from a very slight impact.
That break took me 3 months to heal, which was much faster than the doctors thought. But it was the alarm that finally alerted me to the fact that I was indeed in the early stages of osteoporosis. Back then, bone density in the lower range was categorized as "osteopenia," but that term has fallen from the medical vernacular. Now, however, I not only have low bone density, but have full-blown osteoporosis.
Why? Well, so many reasons, really:
My first year of life was riddled with X-rays due to being born with severe hip-dysplasia. (maybe an early warning sign of weaker bones)
I was raised in the 80's when most of us were told to avoid fatty foods. You cannot absorb bone-building minerals without fat.
In my teens, I developed anorexia and got down to a low of 92 pounds. I only ate the bare minimum; calories, not nutrition being my focus.
I am a small woman, even at a heavier weight. At 5'3" and an ectomorphic body type, I likely never had a chance to have truly dense bones.
When I learned about my bone density issues, I made it my mission to fix the problem. I did exhaustive research, and found that the medical advise I was getting to take a calcium supplement and lift some weights was just NOT enough.
Over the next several years, I built my bones back up out of the red zone. Even with having conceived and breast fed a baby (both calcium leaching activities), I still was in a better place with my skeletal health. I started counseling other women on the basic things they could do to increase bone density besides the outdated suggestions of their doctors. These included:
Do impact activities with good form often (weight lifting, hiking with a pack, running, etc.)
Eat a nutrient dense diet with plenty of healthy fats
Take a multimineral supplement that includes magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, and trace minerals
Get plenty of vitamin D from both outdoors and supplementally
Take a vitamin K2 supplement to make sure the body is properly metabolizing and utilizing calcium stores
Don't drink alcohol in excess, and do not smoke
In fact, I had started to help so many women that I decided to put together a workshop. I really wanted to get the word out to as many people as possible. I spent 6 months doing research on all aspects of bone health. I started putting together slides that would encompass three days of learning for my clients. In fact, I had organized the information in such a way that each person could fine tune their own bone building program.
It was really coming together into something great! While doing my research, I came across my old DXA scans. I thought it would be a great idea to tell about my own personal journey to add validity for my audience. So, I contacted my doctor, and asked him to order a new set of scans to really pull it all together.
It had been 6 years since I'd had a check up, and was due. Just a few weeks prior, I had fallen really hard at my studio while boxing with a client. Running sideways, and full stroke, my dog tripped me, and I had hit the floor straight on my hip. While it hurt, I had no fear of having actually broken anything. This made me think, "Hey, I bet my bone scan is going to be great!" Then I got the results. According to the scan, I had lost 11% of my bone density in the last 6 years. I cried. I cried so hard.
I felt scared, surprised, incredulous, and mostly just felt like a fraud! Who the hell was I to be telling other women what to do, when I couldn't even fix myself?! After my husband hugged me and calmed me down, I started organizing my thoughts and my plans. I realized that I'd become complacent, and maybe even cocky. I had stopped lifting really heavy, and had done lighter workouts lately. I had stopped running mostly, and was doing way too many SoulCycle classes. My weight had been decreasing into the low 100's and my cycles has mostly ceased. I was having a few too many glasses of wine through the week. Etc, etc, etc.
So, I begin anew. I got a weight vest and use it when hiking/walking. I started lifting really heavy again! I have ordered blood work to check my thyroid and inflammatory markers. I am actively gaining weight until my cycle comes back, and will make sure to stay there. I started a new blog, to air my thoughts, and hopefully reach others with the same struggle.
But mostly, what this latest scan has taught me is that it will be a lifelong commitment. I cannot, ever, drop the ball on this. I must stay vigilant. But I have faith. The science shows I can fix this, and I can stay fracture free my whole life.
But it starts now!

An Ode to the Year gone by
Shakespeare wrote in 'Macbeth'. –
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
That I consider as an expression of existential angst, but I am seized with the reality of fleeting time. My angst is one of unfulfilled desires so as another year ends I am tempted to write –
An Ode to the Year gone by
Oh! Maybe if I had not blinked,
The year would not have passed me by,
All the tomorrows are now yesterdays
And the year a yesteryear,
The days no longer creep,
But pass me by at furious pace.
Oh! Maybe if I had not blinked,
I could still have held on to those moments lost,
Moments when I had willed,
Time should stand still.
Though I know time and tide wait for no man
But couldn't they wait a little longer?
Oh! But I blinked,
I couldn't do otherwise
For therein lies my destiny.
Yet another year has passed us by. As I now stand at the threshold of the dawn of another new year I look back to see what I have left behind. 'Nothing much' I say to myself, nothing which I can retrieve and carry with me except unfulfilled resolutions and a bucket that never seems to empty. I have only grown in time and carry with me the hope that the morrow will usher in further resolutions to keep me going and maybe a chance to take care of the list that still lies in the bucket. I remember when I was in school we were asked to write an essay on 'My New Year Resolutions'. I did a commendable job in expressing myself in words for that's what the teacher told me. But he was intrigued by the two lines with which I had ended the essay –
To every resolution made
A goodbye did I bade
He asked why I had written that and I answered truthfully that they sounded fine for they rhymed. He gave me a quizzical look and proceeded to advise me that it only reflected a defeatist attitude and there should be no room for procrastination in future. He cut out the two lines and said that now it read better. I learnt my lesson. I learnt that resolutions keep us going. Whether they are ultimately resolved are not, they take us forward. And life is all about going forward as much as we can. All our dreams do not come true that does not mean we cannot dream.
The ode that I have penned above is not procrastination or defeatist. It is only to convey the anguish I feel in not being able to hold on to moments that would soon fade away into memory. The rule of life however ensures that everything fades away, but I take comfort from the fact that every year that fades away soon gives way to a new year with renewed resolutions and renewed hopes and will give rise to moments that we shall cherish once again (and hopes that moments which gave us pain do not recur though that is hoping for the inevitable).
I recall the visit of a dear friend who stayed with us on one of his trips to India. He took out a paper and showed me what he called his bucket list. If I remember right there were nearly sixty items which included – learning new languages including Japanese, Spanish, taking part in adventure sports like paragliding and learning to play the trumpet etc. and mind you he was in his late sixties at that time. When I met him a year or two later he told me that he was still in the process of ticking of items in that list and there were quite a few which he had ticked off. If you ask me whether he plays the trumpet well, I will say does that really matter. It makes me wonder, that while I have been sitting and only dreaming of things I want to do, here was a man who has tried to turn his dreams to reality. Ultimately not everyone can attain perfection; it is the process of undergoing the experience that matters. At the end of the day life is all about experiencing.
It is important setting a goal for oneself, for that is what makes you move forward. It is on the way, on that journey, that we start seeing and experiencing things which we have never really understood before. You see things with a new perspective, a perspective that has been sharpened by the experiences on the way.
At the beginning of the year I had one major resolution and that was to complete my second book and have it published and that happened. Today as I sit here writing all this, I do not evaluate its success, though it does make me happy when a few of my friends tell me that they liked it. To me writing the book was the experience and it carried me forward during the year. Someone asked "So what now, when is your third book coming out?" I am not sure whether he had read my book, for he did not have anything to say about it, but I did reply "That will be my New Year resolution".
We age every moment but we measure our age in years. May be that is for giving enough time to balance out the bad moments with the good ones and end up with a net balance of happiness and that is why we wish each other a happy new year for that is what we ultimately aspire for.
"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on."
― Robert Frost
Aside from my own reflections and thoughts on the year that has passed us by and my aspirations for the year that is on the threshold, I wish all my friends a New Year of fulfillment, happiness and peace. To each their resolutions that will take them towards discovering new frontiers and self-discovery, I wish all the best.

Cheers to the fruit shop man who kind enough to give me a bagful of ripe monkey bananas (on the house!) so I could make this and other baked goods!
Banana bread french toast has been on my to-do list since seeing it in Esquire's How to eat like a man cookbook, but never got around to it until Mrs Roddick asked if I had a low fat banana bread recipe so she could bake it for our handbag collecting friend. Unfortunately for her I didn't and could only think of more ways to make it more calorific.
The banana chip idea was taken from this revamped banana split I saw on a food blog recently. I didn't want to open the jar of cherries so in went strawberries and a tough decision between fake maple syrup or Hershey's chocolate syrup.

Rep. Kevin Yoder helps big banks undo taxpayer protection
U.S. Rep. Kevin Yoder of Overland Park played a regrettable role in the raucous government-funding exercise that cleared the House Thursday.
Tucked into the $1.1 trillion spending bill is a provision sponsored by Yoder to undo an essential protection of the 2010 Dodd-Frank law to regulate Wall Street.
The regulation says banks cannot rely on protection from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation when they trade their riskiest assets. Big banks have attempted to get rid of that taxpayer protection since the law was passed.
Rolling back the measure proved difficult to achieve through the normal legislative process. So lobbyists approached friendly members of Congress about attaching it to a larger bill, according to Politico. They found a champion in Yoder, even though some members warned that slipping deregulatory measures into spending bills had helped spawn abuses that created the Wall Street meltdown.
Yoder's amendment passed out of a House subcommittee in June, and lobbyists convinced House members to insert it into the massive spending bill.
As The New York Times reports, most of the language of the amendment carried by Yoder was written in the early stages of the rollback effort by lobbyists for Citigroup.
Yoder's office said in a statement Friday the amendment is backed by regional banks and farmers to "reduce their exposure to changes in the market."
That may be partly correct. But the big push comes from the mega banks, which want assurance that taxpayers will again cover their losses if they overreach.
Yoder shouldn't be out front in the effort to aid that nefarious goal. The Senate must kill his provision before passing its version of a spending bill.

Pacific Rim star Idris Elba would "do anything" to be in the the sequel to The Inbetweeners, the astonishingly successful British teen comedy adapted from the Channel 4 TV series, according to one of the film's actors.
Speaking to Empire about The Inbetweeners 2, Anthony Head, who played Will's dad in the first movie, said: "I was at a gig with Idris Elba recently and he says he'll do anything in it. He said he'd do a walk-on, so I've got to email them and say: 'Idris Elba wants to be in it.'"
Elba, who won a Golden Globe for his work as Luther in the acclaimed TV series of the same name, is not the first name you would think of for a cameo in The Inbetweeners, but Head thought "it would absolutely work".
The Inbetweeers Movie amazed industry analysts when it became the UK's highest-grossing British-made comedy of all time with a £56m worldwide box office take after being released in summer 2011.

We don't pay much mind to the MTV Video Music Awards around these parts, especially when it airs on the same night and at the same time as Breaking Bad. The few good things about this year's ceremony — a possible *NSYNC reunion, performances from Drake and Kanye, whatever the hell Daft Punk is going to do, Katy Perry — don't outweigh having to sit through three and a half hours of One Direction orgasms and Teen Wolf commercials.
That being said, if you do want to make fun of whatever multi-colored clump of matted newspaper Miley Cyrus decides to wear tonight, we'll keep this post open as a discussion. Also worth discussing: what if instead of the boring ol' VMAs, MTV decides to resurrect Celebrity Deathmatch and makes all the invited guests and performers fight each other to the death? I'd watch that. Here are 10 possible matchups to get things started.
1. Katy Perry vs. Lady Gaga
The winner: Katy Perry. Ever have whipped cream in your eye? Blinding.
2. *NSYNC vs. One Direction
The winner: *NSYNC by choking One Direction with puppet string.
3. Miley Cyrus vs. Selena Gomez
The winner: Selena Gomez. Twerking is no match for Selena's tag-team partner, Alien.
4. Daft Punk vs. Robin Thicke
The winner: Daft Punk, because space helmets > baby animals.
5. Taylor Swift vs. Kanye West
The winner: Jay Z, somehow.
6. fun. vs. Mumford & Sons
The winner: the suspender industry.
7. Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake
The winner: #teamkendrick
8. Chris Brown vs. the Trident I'm Sneaking In
The winner: the trident, hopefully.
9. Macklemore vs. Ryan Lewis
The winner: Mary Lambert
10. Rihanna vs. Katy Perry
The winner: EVERYONE.

Secondary Education/Foundations of Education
The Department of Secondary Education/Foundations of Education is committed to the development of professional educators through the careful integration of theory and practice. Moreover, it is SEFE's position that there is an inseparable fusion between teachers' professional identities and their personal identities. Teaching is a reflective process that takes place within a diverse social, economic, political, and cultural complex that mandates continual development of the teacher. Since teaching does not take place in a vacuum, it is part of our mission to provide opportunities for the total cognitive and affective development of our students so that they may become productive members of a teacher/ scholar community who will conduct research and disseminate knowledge that will enhance the education of students at all levels.

The mission of the department is to provide secondary education majors with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions required to succeed in today's changing classrooms. Moreover, the merging of theory with practice and the building of a solid background in foundations of education for all education majors are additional hallmarks.
Prospective secondary school teachers are required to take for certification, coursework in an academic discipline that is equivalent to a major in that discipline. Successful completion of a prescribed program and the PRAXIS series examinations are required for eligibility for certification by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
A secondary education major is advised by a faculty member in the academic discipline and by one in the Department of Secondary Education/Foundations of Education. Students may choose to attain dual certification, that is, to become eligible to teach in more than one subject area. The decision to attempt this dual certification should be made as early as possible in order to facilitate scheduling. It is the responsibility of the students to understand the certification requirements and to schedule all required courses.
The department uses both state and national guidelines to continually update its accredited programs. Therefore, the specific course of study and the most recent requirements leading to teacher certification in this department are available in the departmental office or from the student's advisor. See also Teacher Education Policy Manual, available in 105 McKay Education Building and on the College of Education homepage. Areas of teacher certification in secondary education at the baccalaureate level include:
Social Studies - History
Social Studies - History
Areas of Teacher Certification in Secondary Education at the master's level:
Earth and Space Science
General Science
Social Studies
Earth and Space Science
General Science
Social Studies
Certification in these latter areas is available only at the graduate level as part of the master of education degree program. For more information about this program, including prerequisites, contact the Secondary Education/Foundations of Education office in 114 McKay Education Building.

To the uninitiated, Steve Rogers, Captain America himself, was killed at the end of the Marvel Civil War. Actually he wasn't killed and was just "Time displaced" by the Red Skull who wanted to take Steve Rogers' body for himself. Anyway that plot failed and Steve Rogers found himself in a world where he'd been replaced as Captain America by Bucky, his former sidekick - who was now going around carrying his original shield and wearing a uniform with an arrow that pointed towards his groin.
Anyway, he finds himself in a world where Norman Osborn is king and joins the resistance. When Osborn falls from grace, Steve Rogers is asked to replace him and he does. Bucky offers to relinquish his title as Captain America but Steve Rogers declines and takes on this new uniform and a new title and position: "Commander Rogers" the gun-toting head of SHIELD.
The Marvel Universe Commander Rogers figure actually doesn't come with the energy shield that Steve Rogers recovered from the ruins of the Avengers Mansion prior to joining the resistance against Norman Osborn. He instead comes with a thick pistol - definitely not a 9mm - and an M4 rifle with an under-slung M203 grenade launcher and a stand with his name on it.
Eventually though with the apparent death of Bucky Cap during the Marvel "Fear Itself" series, Steve Rogers re-donned the uniform of Captain America and picked up his shield again - only to have it shattered by Thor's uncle (It would be rebuilt by the Asgardian weapon-smiths later).
This is actually also not my first Commander Rogers figure having built a custom one prior to his return to the role of Captain America out of a Marvel Legends Agent of SHIELD figure and an WWII Ultimate Captain America.
What's to like about the Marvel Universe Commander Rogers figure?
He's a, dare-I-say-it? A great looking figure. In fact some might criticize this particular figure for being quite Aryan in design what with the blond hair, blue eyes and strong jaw. No wonder the Red Skull wants this body. It's a wonderfully sculpted body depicting the pinnacle of human evolution.
And because of that, it's has incredible flexibility and poseability.
Though I'm not quite sure when it happened that Steve Rogers no longer had a problem with using guns.
But the real fund starts when you purchase a Marvel Universe Ultimate Gift set which recently went on sale in Toy Kingdom here in the Philippines dropping from PhP 3,000 (Roughly US$ 73) to PhP 1,500 (Roughly US$ 36.58). It's still available on Amazon for US$ 82.98 (Roughly PhP 3,402).
The Ultimate Gift Set fails to deliver providing lack-luster execution of Thor, Iron Man, Wolverine, Spider-Man and Captain America. But it does include a translucent version of Captain America's shield, akin to the shield used by Commander Rogers. So PhP 1,500 for five salvageable, custom ready figures and a shield that enhances an existing great looking figure? Not a bad deal.
Other than he looks a tad bit Aryan - how so not Captain America - and did not come with a translucent shield, NOTHING for once.
There is some difficulty though mounting the shield on his arm. The mounting clasp on my shield is a bit too large for Commander Rogers' hand. I'm holding it in place with tack.
Commander Rogers was purchased loose from the black market of Greenhills here in the Philippines for PhP 350 (Roughly US$ 8.53). He's available on Amazon for US$ 8.99 (Roughly PhP 358plus shipping).

The Kitchen, the Bedroom & the Grave
Written by Donal O'Hagan
Directed by Richard Lavery
Up-and-coming journalist Dempsey loves his London life – but is suddenly shipped home to Belfast to make a documentary on the changing face of good ol' Norn Iron.
A Christmas visitor at best, Dempsey has his fingers crossed for a quick job and a leap up the career ladder. But his parents (Tom and Martha) and his oldest school buddy (Mark) have their own agendas for him, and soon Dempsey is forced out from behind his camera.
O'Hagan's stage debut is a multimedia exploration of homecoming that rips into ideas about family and identity, and asks how far can a person be the author of their own life. With a superb cast, starring Maggie Cronin best known for her role in the BBC's long-running daytime drama Doctors and Academy award winning short film The Shore; Cillian O'Sullivan, currently starring in 6Degrees; Noel Magee from BBC production Betrayal of Trust, and upcoming Lyric Theatre actor Jason McLaughlin.
Accidental first staged The Kitchen, the Bedroom & the Grave as a rehearsed reading in 2010 and over the course of the next two years continued the script development for a full-scale production. In early 2012 we received a grant from the Joint Sectoral Dramaturgy Project, and with a team of creatively mischievous artists we set about exploring the themes of the play through film and projection techniques. The images below detail some of the work that took place during that week.

Proverbs 27: Friends/
When I say friends, what comes to mind? Late night conversations, coffee dates, text messages, borrowed clothing or tools?
When I think of friends, my mind runs through a rolodex of incredible friends, starting with childhood girlfriends, some of whom I still keep in touch with today, moving through middle school, high school, college, work, and church girlfriends. I cherish the memories of sleepovers, light night phone calls, whispering about boys, crying with friends, and laughing with friends. Of all the memories I hold dear, are those when friends shared truth and wisdom, wrapped in love, with me.
It's important to have friends, those close friends who know you fully and like you anyway; those friends who will be honest with you about your strengths and weaknesses, encouraging growth, walking alongside you.
You Don't Know Tomorrow
27 Don't brashly announce what you're going to do tomorrow; you don't know the first thing about tomorrow.
2 Don't call attention to yourself; let others do that for you.
3 Carrying a log across your shoulders while you're hefting a boulder with your arms Is nothing compared to the burden of putting up with a fool.
4 We're blasted by anger and swamped by rage,but who can survive jealousy?
5 A spoken reprimand is better than approval that's never expressed.
6 The wounds from a lover are worth it; kisses from an enemy do you in.
7 When you've stuffed yourself, you refuse dessert; when you're starved, you could eat a horse.
8 People who won't settle down, wandering hither and yon, are like restless birds, flitting to and fro.
9 Just as lotions and fragrance give sensual delight, a sweet friendship refreshes the soul.
10 Don't leave your friends or your parents' friends and run home to your family when things get rough; Better a nearby friend than a distant family.
11 Become wise, dear child, and make me happy; then nothing the world throws my way will upset me.
12 A prudent person sees trouble coming and ducks; a simpleton walks in blindly and is clobbered.
13 Hold tight to collateral on any loan to a stranger; be wary of accepting what a transient has pawned.
14 If you wake your friend in the early morning by shouting "Rise and shine!"It will sound to him more like a curse than a blessing.
15-16 A nagging spouse is like the drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet;You can't turn it off,and you can't get away from it.
Your Face Mirrors Your Heart
17 You use steel to sharpen steel, and one friend sharpens another.
18 If you care for your orchard, you'll enjoy its fruit; if you honor your boss, you'll be honored.
19 Just as water mirrors your face, so your face mirrors your heart.
20 Hell has a voracious appetite, and lust just never quits.
21 The purity of silver and gold is tested by putting them in the fire;The purity of human hearts is tested by giving them a little fame.
22 Pound on a fool all you like—you can't pound out foolishness.
23-27 Know your sheep by name;carefully attend to your flocks;(Don't take them for granted;possessions don't last forever, you know.)And then, when the crops are in and the harvest is stored in the barns,You can knit sweaters from lambs' wool,and sell your goats for a profit;There will be plenty of milk and meat to last your family through the winter.
Proverbs 27 The Message
For the past few years, we've been talking more about friendships in a redemptive community. What does that mean? It's a fellowship of the heart, a close circle of friends that you intentionally pursue. It's described at The Deepening Weekend:
- Requires a belief that the heart is good.
- A person's glory is pursued, not their sin.
- Can't be a substitute for God and what only He can provide.
- Requires personal intimacy with God.
- As acknowledgement that we are in a battle and have an enemy that will oppose us.
- It must be small.
- It must be intimate.
- It is a lifestyle where lives intersect and people live out their lives together. Pray, play, worship, eat, share and journey together.
- Intergenerational.
- It can not be contained in a day, a time or a room.
- Where everyone can offer what they have. Everyone needs to contribute and be a participant. No one's glory should be muted.
- A safe and trusting place where deep places of the heart and soul can be touched.
- It will be messy. Don't avoid it.
- Change and disruption are necessary.
- Must be missional. It is larger than its self.
Pray about people in your sphere of influence who perhaps God is calling you to truly be in community with as friends!
