The MicroMirror Drive card is a module for the TG-1000 system. Using this card user can control X and Y axes of 2 MEMS MicroMirrors. The card can be operated in external input mode (0 to 5V analog signal) or in internal input mode (thru onboard DAC so the mirror can be positioned thru serial commands and built in routines).
Although MEMS Mirrors are operated in open loop mode, a 5th order tunable Bessel filter is provided which can be used to avoid exciting the mechanical resonance of the MEMS mirrors.
Note: MEMS MicroMirrors are very sensitive to ESD, please observe precautions when handling this equipment. Even more than usual, it is important to never connect or disconnect the cables when system power is on.
MicroMirror scanner body. The DB9 connector (1) connects to the MicroMirror Drive Card thru a DB9 straight cable. 2 is the fiber optic coupler. As shown in the picture, MicroMirror is connected to drive card as R and S axis. Newer scanners have the fiber connector on the end of the scanner body.
MicroMirror Drive Card. Connect 4 to MicroMirror Scanner body thru a DB9 straight cable. 3 is the input to accept analog signals. Analog input range is 0-5Volts.
Straight DB9 cable to connect Driver card and scanner body.
Use the connector to connect coax cables with user's analog input to MicroMirror drive card. Coax connectors are marked 1,2,3,4. MicroMirror 1's X , Y axis and MicroMirror 2's X, Y axis respectively.
|DB9 Pin
|Channel A (fast axis) positive, 0 to 130V out
|Channel C (fast axis) positive, 0 to 130V out
|Channel B (slow axis) positive, 0 to 130V out
|Channel D (slow axis) positive, 0 to 130V out
|Channel A (fast axis) negative, 130V to 0V out
|Channel C (fast axis) negative, 130V to 0V out
|Channel B (slow axis) negative, 130V to 0V out
|Channel D (slow axis) negative, 130V to 0V out

No calibration has been performed to make sure the relationship between the applied input voltage (in external input mode) or between the axis positions (in internal input mode) are accurate. However we can make a rough guess based on the micro-mirror specifications of 9.2degrees for 131V; with analog multiplication of 20x we expect each volt of analog input (in external mode) to move the mirror by approximately \begin{equation} \frac{20V}{131V}×9.2º = 1.4º\end{equation}. We expect the user to cross-calibrate the move amount with a corresponding stage movement. Before firmware v3.14 the DACK command could be used to set a scale factor for calibration, but starting with v3.14 it is assumed that the user will instead adjust the move position or single-axis amplitude accordingly.
Until and including version C of the Drive Card, the high-voltage amplifiers get very hot due to their quiescent current. In later versions of the card this issue is addressed by changing amplifier ICs. Occasionally cards (version C and before) fail due to overheating, so it is advised to turn of the TG-1000 controller when not in use. Contact ASI for assistance if the MicroMirror Drive Card appears to fail entirely (all the output pins on the DB9 connector to the Scanner will be 0V in that case).
Control of the MEMS MicroMirrors is similar to any other axis of the TG-1000 system. This means all the regular axis commands work (e.g.
INFO, etc.). The axis units are 1/1000 of a degree. So
MOVE R=2000 moves the beam by about 2 degrees.
Apart from the regular axis commands here are some MicroMirror-related commands, including some that are "recycled" for a different use than for motor axes.

The MEM MicroMirror is analogous to a spring-mass system, and like a spring mass system it has a tendency to ring. Below is the frequency response and step response of the 1200um MEMS mirror as provided by the manufacturer.
The MicroMirror card has a tunable Bessel filter to filter out resonating frequency elements from the input which helps reduce the mechanical ringing. The MEMS manufacturer recommends setting the filter frequency no more than 1/3 of the resonance frequency (about 850Hz), although based on ASI's testing it is possible to go higher. The default filter frequency is 400Hz, and it may be changed using the BACKLASH command.
The multi-axis firmware module lets the MicroMirror Card generate patterns like circle and spiral. It is implemented but has not yet undergone extensive testing. It can also be used for XY stages if the firmware module is present.
|2019/04/18 23:33
The single-axis firmware module lets the MicroMirror card generate patterns including ramps, triangles and pulses. This module is intended to run off a 4Khz internal clock, though provision has been made to accept an external clock on the TTL input (only lightly tested). They can also be configured to output TTL pulses upon completion of each cycle. For both these TTL functions, the corresponding physical connectors need to be in place.
Provision has been made for the user to control the following features of the single-axis output pattern:
Note that some of these settings are also used by the SPIM firmware module. When a SPIM scan is initiated then any active single-axis function on the MicroMirror card is stopped. When SPIM is armed for a piezo card any active single-axis function on the card is stopped.
SAM command is used to activate and also inactivate single-axis patterns.
While a single-axis mode is active (i.e. when the pattern is being generated and output), the axis move status character (accessed by
RDSTAT [axis]+) is set to A .
When single-axis mode is active then moving the axis (either using
MOVE or
MOVEREL or by using the joystick or wheels) will automatically update the offset. Thus, the single-axis pattern always has the same position on start-up as where it last was used, unless the SAO command has been used in the interim to select a new offset. However, moving the axis position while the single-axis mode is idle does not change the offset.
For MicroMirror cards with fast DACs (usually axes A and C, or axes P and Q), the single-axis functions update the fast DACs at a rate of 40kHz beginning with firmware version 2.8. Otherwise, the DAC update rate is 4kHz divided by the number of card axes. e.g. 1kHz for typical 4-channel MicroMirror cards and 4kHz for ADEPT piezo cards (but the mechanical response of piezos is much slower than 4kHz).
While the single-axis mode is active, changes to the parameters (e.g. executing
SAP, or
SAO) automatically take effect as of firmware version 2.82. However, axis synchronization may be lost during the update, so if synchronization is important then it should be performed again after any parameter changes are made by executing
SAM with mode 3 again.

April is poised to be one of the most profoundly revolutionary months many of us will experience in years!* From the core of our inner selves, to our core relationships, to global events, and to the body of Gaia herself. This is the transformational moment many of us have been waiting for, evoking the words of the Hopi, "This is the Hour." So, expect the unexpected, expect to let go of the old, and expect (and say yes) to breaking through to the next level of your being!
Life is exceedingly tough for many people right now, if not physically then emotionally or spiritually, or all three! This moment will be bringing many of us to great crises points, squeezing us from all sides, and pushing us through the cosmic birth canal of consciousness to the next level of our being, personally and collectively. These are the times we were born for.
This is an opportunity for new beginnings with a massive purging taking place, shifting blocks, obstacles, suppressions, repressions and 'issues' which bind us, to allow a free flow of life energy at an exponential rate. Every life has more than one version available. This week is full of power – raw, creative, cosmic power. It's upgrade time. We have a window of opportunity to effect significant change in ourselves. The choice is ours, even when it doesn't feel that way!
Our relationship with others and our relationship with self may be going through some critical reevaluations. Do not rage in the mirror of the other, but use this reflection to reach deeper within and root out the inner demons to return yourself to a place of inner balance. When you're feeling angry or spun-out, turn the arrow of mars upwards, redirecting the will to the higher-self/divine will and the determination to grow into your next octave of being.
Receive support to purify, align, let go, surrender, trust and receive a more illuminated vision of who you are and what we are capable of!! Let our prayers go out for the benefit of all beings! So, lightworkers, take your positions, and meet your mighty allies in this great transformation…
*The dominant energy of the month is a powerful Grand Cardinal Cross that will be peaking in intensity from April 20th – April 23rd and bringing a decisive turning point to revolutionary changes that have been in the works for the last two+ years, and in a larger context since the 60's. You can think of this energy like four mighty bulls all squaring off to each other at once. And to top it off, the Cardinal Cross will be hugged by a Lunar Eclipse in Libra on April 15th and a Solar Eclipse in Taurus on April 28th/29th.
for more Details on the above read here:
This is a complimentary healing circle to facilitate this process of letting go of the old, aligning, centering, unblocking our energy system and being on all levels, and to call in the new version of you!
Join me Sunday, April 27th at 8-9 am PDT/ 17-18h CET or 11-12 noon PDT /20-21h CET!

I have made no secret that I love Taylor Jenkins Reid's books, and I think because I love them so much, I've taken them slow. I haven't devoured her backlist because I don't want it to run out too quickly. So I've had Maybe In Another Life on my shelf for probably about a year. But I finally hit a moment where it felt like the right time to read it. I'm so glad I did!
I love that Reid tends to make her books about a particular question. The question explored in Maybe In Another Life: Can we change our fate by making the smallest decision? Like if we turn left on the street instead of right, does our entire life change? Or are we destined to end up how we end up? This also plays with the concept of soulmates, which she's explored in other books as well. Do we only have one?
So the premise of this story is that the main character, Hannah, goes to her a bar with her friend. In one scenario, she says yes to going home with her ex-boyfriend from high school. In the other scenario, she turns him down. What follows is a story told in two separate timelines. One follows the first version of Hannah and what happens if she says yes. The other story is if Hannah says no.
This story is heartbreaking at times, but I promise, y'all, this isn't a sad book. That's what I love about Reid's books. She makes you worry about how things might turn out, but then she always gives a satisfying ending (even if it's not the ending you guessed.) I found the book very life-affirming. It had great characters, romance, and made me think. I am very stingy with rating things 5 stars in my reading journal. This is only the 4th novel I've read this year out of almost 60 that got that rating from me. Highly recommended!
About the book:
From the acclaimed author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and After I Do comes a breathtaking new novel about a young woman whose fate hinges on the choice she makes after bumping into an old flame; in alternating chapters, we see two possible scenarios unfold—with stunningly different results.
At the age of twenty-nine, Hannah Martin still has no idea what she wants to do with her life. She has lived in six different cities and held countless meaningless jobs since graduating college. On the heels of leaving yet another city, Hannah moves back to her hometown of Los Angeles and takes up residence in her best friend Gabby's guestroom. Shortly after getting back to town, Hannah goes out to a bar one night with Gabby and meets up with her high school boyfriend, Ethan.
Just after midnight, Gabby asks Hannah if she's ready to go. A moment later, Ethan offers to give her a ride later if she wants to stay. Hannah hesitates. What happens if she leaves with Gabby? What happens if she leaves with Ethan?
In concurrent storylines, Hannah lives out the effects of each decision. Quickly, these parallel universes develop into radically different stories with large-scale consequences for Hannah, as well as the people around her. As the two alternate realities run their course, Maybe in Another Life raises questions about fate and true love: Is anything meant to be? How much in our life is determined by chance? And perhaps, most compellingly: Is there such a thing as a soul mate?
Hannah believes there is. And, in both worlds, she believes she's found him.

You may be wondering if you should learn how to become a surgical tech. Obviously, a great field to go in is healthcare. You have the chance to help people no matter what job title you have in this career. However, specifically, one great role is a surgical technologist. If you like helping people and want to be able to see interesting surgeries, then becoming a surgical tech is the right path for you.
First, you need to know what it takes to become a surgical tech. As a surgical tech, you will most likely work in a hospital. You might also work in a dental clinic or at any place that performs surgery. Most hospitals will not hire you unless you have completed some sort of degree program.
A student wanting to become a surgical tech can get credentials from different ways. Those ways are:
- diploma
- certificate
- degree
It's important to note that while most states do not require certified surgical techs, having that experience will only help you in getting hired.
If you decide to go for a diploma or certificate first, you can expect to spend about a year for each program. This seems like a small price to pay for something that will dramatically increase your chances of having work.
A degree program to become a surgical tech will take longer to accomplish. You can expect to be in school for a total of two years for a surgical tech degree program.
You may be wondering what sorts of things you will be studying in school. The answer is that you will learn things that are important for being in the operating room. Your main goal as a surgical tech is safety, so you will be learning ways to keep each patient safe during their surgery.
Some of the specific things you will learn about are:
- different surgeries
- pharmacology
- medical terminology
- anatomy
It is easy to understand why you may need to learn about surgery as the surgical suite will be the main environment that you will work in. Pharmacology is going to teach you about different medications that may be administered during surgery. It will help you learn what to look for if your patient is having a bad reaction to the medicine. Medical terminology will help you keep up with what the rest of the team is saying during surgery. Anatomy is going to help you understand how different parts of the body work together for a certain function.
On your journey to be a surgical tech, you will be doing plenty of reading and classroom work. However, you will also be doing clinical work. All this means is that you will be able to experience first hand what it is that a surgical tech does. You may be allowed to shadow a surgical tech for their shift. It's also possible that you may be allowed to assist later on in your program. This experience all depends on the type of program you enter.
This may seem like a lot for a surgical tech to learn. It's important to remember that this amount of information will be spread out over two years. You should also keep in mind what your job will be after school. As a surgical tech, you will be part of the health-care team that helps get the patient safely through surgery.
Towards the end of your program, you will want to start thinking about where you would like to work. Perhaps you want a front row seat for all sorts of new and exciting surgeries. This makes you a great person to work in a hospital. Other places that surgical techs work is in delivery rooms and the dentist office.
Once you have chosen a few places that you would like to work at as a surgical tech, it's time to start applying. Make sure you put any work or school experience that you want your potential employer to know about. This will help them pick you over other people applying to be a surgical tech.
The last step left is to pass your interview. Spend some time beforehand practicing questions that might be asked. Tell the person interviewing you why you chose to be a surgical tech. Above all, be honest and be yourself. These are most appreciated during interviews.
As you can see, becoming a surgical tech takes a lot of work. It is also a very rewarding job to have. You work side-by-side with a surgeon and the rest of the health-care team to keep the patient safe. This makes the long days of school completely worth it.

Nick Lachey Dishes On Jessica Simpson Divorce
(NEW YORK) -- Hey, Nick Lachey said it, not us.
During an appearance on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live Tuesday night, the 98 Degrees singer aired some alleged dirty laundry about his former father-in-law, Joe Simpson.
Host Andy Cohen asked Lachey, who was on the show with his fellow boybanders, "What is the best thing about no longer having Joe Simpson as a father-in-law?" Before the 39-year-old could answer, his brother Drew popped in and said, "Everything."
Lachey's response? "The best thing about not having Joe Simpson anymore as a father-in-law is I don't have to play grab a** under the table on Easter Sunday."
Cohen looked shocked and admitted he was blushing, as crew off camera screamed. "Our publicist is freaking out right now," Drew Lachey quipped.
"It may not be [funny] tomorrow but it is tonight," Lachey said.
Lachey, who's married to TV host Vanessa (Minnillo) Lachey, also revealed that he hasn't spoken to ex-wife Jessica Simpson in "probably six years."

Foscamun 2016, 27th February
UNHRC Committee
Topic A: promoting and protecting the human rights of all migrants in transit
Sponsors : USA , Germany and France
Signatories: Austria, Brazil, Egypt, Italy, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, People's Republic of China, Spain, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, United Kingdom.
- Considering the very large influx of migrants in several parts of the globe and the violations of human rights during the transit and the arrival of migrants;
- Taking into account the conditions migrants transit and live in and the frequent disrespect and violation of human rights;
- Remembering the integration issues migrants face in accepting countries;
- Noticing the frequent reluctance of countries to welcome migrants;
- Considering the economical problems affecting the developing countries;
- According to economic possibilities of developing countries and in order to ensure economic support
UNHRC proposes:
1) The creation of an international institute as an extension to the United Nation High Commissioner for Refugees' services by:
- Strengthening the focus on the migration over the Mediterranean Sea
- Improving the possibility of access to its services
- Enhancing cooperation among all parties involved
2) The improvement of border security on Europe's outside borders by:
- Keeping a list of every migrant that crosses European borders and providing a profile for them which includes information such a economic status, gender, age, country of origin , destination country , pull factors;
- Promoting specific laws against human trafficking and smugglers with stricter sanctions;
- Acquiring more authority staff.
3) The institution of an international Agency which will:
- Take care of migrants before during and after the transit;
- Institute a minimum quote for every country, considering their economic position and civil wars and other types of troubles which will rule out the country to pay the minimum tax until the situation stabilizes;
- Provide migrant centers with basic services such as food , shelter and healthcare;
- Create migrant centers with staff that could complete a background check;
- Verify the education and integration of children as well as adults, in order to ensure a good acceptance;
- Supply migrants with an identity card;
4) To develop a redistribution project which is a duty the agency is taking care of. This project allows both the migrant and the accepting country to have benefits by migration;
5) To provide integration courses which include the learning of the local language , laws and behavior:
- Working permit to complete simple society benefitting tasks shall be provided for migrants able to work.

No Malice preps a documentary about his spiritual journey on "The End Of Malice."
No Malice, formerly Malice, 1/2 of acclaimed rap duo The Clipse, did a total 180 from his drug-dealing and talking rhymes when he announced his Christian faith. Finding God influenced the rapper to change his rhymes and his outlook on life, and we got evidence of this when he dropped his first album as No Malice, Hear Ye Him. He's also been adamant there will never be a Clipse reunion, as it conflicts with his school of thought.
Soon we'll be getting a closer look at No Malice's spiritual journey, and we'll get to hear directly from the rapper, his brother Pusha T, and his past frequent collaborator Pharrell. Peep the trailer for it above.

Kim says, "The illiotibial band (ITB) is a fibrous band that runs down the outside of the leg connecting the glute (large bum) muscle and a small hip muscle (tensor fasciae latae) to the bone just below the knee. Pain is thought to occur when the band tightens, compressing sensitive structures between it and the knee. If you get the problem intermittently, it's probably in response to a change in running mechanics which usually occurs when fatigued. Analyse your running around flare-ups. Have you done more training, longer runs, increased tempo or downhill? Work out the causes and adapt your training to allow more recovery between trigger sessions or reduce the volume. Then, progressively make yourself more robust in these areas by slowly building back up. Strengthening the glute medius will help. These 2 exercises work the muscle in running relevant positions."
1 Single-legged squat
Start with 3x5 reps, building to 3x15 reps. Keep hip, knee and foot in the same plane to work the glute and avoid tightening the ITB. Stay slow and controlled. If this causes pain in the ITB, start with a double leg, seated squat and progress to single leg. To make it harder, do more reps, use weights or lower the seat you are squatting on to.
2 Side step-up
Start with 3x5 reps, building to 3x15 reps. Stand beside a bench at roughly knee height. Step the near foot up onto it then stand up straight, driving up through the 'benched' leg and raising the opposite knee. Then lower down to the start position, slowly and in control. To make it harder use a higher step or hold weights.

This post is not sponsored. Thank you so much for your time and support! Enjoy!
Happy Valentine's Day amiga!
Not a major holiday in our household, since we believe LOVE should be celebrated every day, but having a toddler brings new light and fun into these small holidays! Don't you agree?
We can feel like kids, again!
Plus, this is a great way to start getting used to helping our little toddler girl with future school projects!
Something, I can wait for though! ; )
We were at the market on our bi-weekly grocery shopping trip and I spotted this Valentine Message Cookie Decorating Kit — it was in our shopping cart without a second thought!
We make an effort to shop the perimeter of markets, as opposed to the inner isles so we choose healthier options, but this kit caught my eye, girl! haha
It was right next to the bulk section where we get our oats, beans, and nuts (and sometimes dark-chocolate covered pretzels for our Netflix trail mix! Keeping it real.)
First Cookie Decorating Experience
Our daughter is 2.5 years old and I thought this kit was perfect for her first Valentine's Day cookie decorating experience!
Which holiday was your first cookie decorating experience with your child?
I have not decorated Valentine's Day cookies since I baked a batch for my husband when we were newlyweds. They were delicious!
I opted not to bake with her for the first time because I'm not ready to handle the experience, yet, but perhaps by mid-summer when Ellie is a full 3 years old!
This cookie decorating kit is super easy and not messy at all (thank goodness the sprinkles didn't spill! haha)
FYI, a good-to-know detail is that this kit is sealed with a badge of having been created in a peanut-free factory, so it's safe, if you or your toddler are allergic to pea(nuts).
Also, the sugar cookies are delicious on their own, too!
Red, Pink, White, Oh, My!
Ellie was super excited when she saw the red, pink, and white heart-shaped sprinkles through the bottom of the heart-shaped box!
As soon as I opened the box for her that's the first thing she picked up!
Which is so funny because once I opened the icing tubes for her and showed her how to squeeze the icing out and on to the cookie, she forgot all about the sprinkles… toddlers!
At one point Ellie didn't want a new cookie! She just kept adding the icing to that ONE sugar cookie! All three colored-icings, if I may add, all on top of each other!
Looked SUPER SWEET! Literally.
She finally added sprinkles and tried to imitate my decorating. She's very observant.
I admit, her hand-eye coordination skills are really great! I'm a proud mama.
I want to share a little small fact that made this day extra special.
My tiny dancer is wearing a 18-month-sized onesie in these photos and it fits perfectly! She's now usually wearing between a 2T and 3T, so it was quite a surprise when she asked me to put it on her and it actually still fit her.
It's like she knew that having her decorate cookies was bittersweet for me! She's growing up so fast! I was so happy to see that she's actually still physically my baby and not a big kid, yet! haha Do you relate?
I was so excited to have completed this Valentine's Day cookie decorating kit a week prior to actual Valentine's Day, but of course, here I am a little over a week after Valentine's Day posting about it for you! #MomLife am I right?
Nevertheless, Ellie and I had a great time during our mid-afternoon 'Arts & Crafts Time' creating an art project in our kitchen that was edible and not to hang on our refrigerator or on her bedroom walls!
Daddy was also very happy to find some tasty snacks, made with tender loving care, when he got home!
P.S. Any day is a good day to buy yourself a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers for your home! Our favorite flowers are from our local street vendors.

Comscore is out this week with their latest (September 2014) stats on rankings of mobile apps. Your answer to the question in the title of this post doesn't matter. It matters that you do understand a couple of things, including the fact that in all likelihood your teen is using a messaging app, not the SMS messaging on his phone. Why is that important?
- If you suspect there is something bad going on, and check the text messages on your teen's phone, they'll likely be in-app, not in the regular SMS function
- Messaging apps sometimes/usually/always have a separate password, making it harder for you to check, even if you know the lock screen password
Of the top 15 mobile apps for the month of September, Facebook Messenger is the only messaging app ranked. This is pretty disappointing, since many folks, us included, have commented on how its privacy policies are less than perfect. It's also pretty amazing, given the huge number of messaging app users (listed below). Anyway, which are the top messaging apps, and which are your teens likely to be using?
Top messaging Apps – millions of U.S. users (Sept. '14, Comscore)
- Facebook Messenger – 66.9 million
- Skype – 17.9 million
- Kik – 16.6 million
- WhatsApp – 7.3 million
- Line – 4.4 million
- Viber – 3.8 million
It's strange that Skype, a video calling app, is included in the list but not a picture messaging app like Snapchat, which is on fire these days.
Teens, tweens and millennials tend to use messaging apps because of the cool factor and to avoid text message charges (apps use wifi when available) but also because of the myriad features that come included free of charge, including group messages, free wifi calling, emojis, location data, availability status, picture and video messaging and the list goes on and on. Put another way, messaging apps allow teens to communicate with a lot of the features that they thing are cool, but parents would find exhausting.
In terms of which one your teen is using – the answer is whichever one his friends are using. It's a group thing, after all.
Looking to start a conversation with your teen about what he is really doing on his phone? Ask him which messaging apps he uses and why. He might be surprised that you even know that messaging apps are a thing.
Contact ThirdParent any time for help and resources for monitoring child and teen internet activity.

Meat production is said to create a staggering 18 percent of the world's carbon emissions.
But in a new book being released in February 2011, Meat: A Benign Extravagance, Simon Fairlie claims that eating moderate amounts of meat could be greener than going vegan.
Fairlie argues that every agricultural system produces hard-to-use biomass that is best fed to livestock, and that animals kept on small farms also fend off predators and pests and fertilize the soil.
However, Fairlie tells Time magazine that:
"… [O]f course, it is not what we eat individually — it is what we eat as a whole society that has the impact on the environment. Some vegans may continue their vegan ways. I'm arguing for meat in moderation, not to eradicate meat entirely, nor to overconsume it."

Online Dating and Chat Rooms in Houston
Chat rooms were developed a long time ago for people online to be able to connect with one another if they were in different parts of the world. The people who first used them were people who were into computers as the rest of us hadn't figured out the internet yet. Some people also loved them due to the ability to "hide behind the screen," which led to them getting a bad reputation.
Since then chat rooms have become part of every day life. Live chat is often offered by businesses for their customers. You find chat available on most social networks. It's a convenient method of communicating with people online.
When it comes to online dating chat rooms are great for people when they first connect as it's a safe place to have a conversation and see if there seems to be any chemistry. If you feel comfortable you can then switch numbers and meet in real life. And if you're in the military, navy or, say, work as a doctor and travel a lot, it can be a convenient method of communicating whilst away.

I remember like it was yesterday, opening up the letter that read:
"We can't accept your blood donation because we have found the Hepatitis C antibodies in your bloodstream."
What? What the heck is Hepatitis C? Maybe they sent this to the wrong person.
Fear immediately rushed in and I begin to cry. My first step of action:
Call my mom.
"Mom, what does that mean?"
"Jenny, I don't know what it means but I know what God's Word says about it: By His stripes you were healed."
I'm so thankful for a praying mother. I'm thankful the first person I called wasn't someone who had no idea of the Goodness of God.
She spoke peace into my heart that day.
This is my story of how God healed me from Hepatitis C. When I first starting talking about making this public, I had people that said, "Are you sure you want to do that? You know the stigma around it…people might get the wrong idea."
You know, I'm willing to risk that. There's no better thing to the enemy than to silence our testimonies due to embarrassment or pride. I'm convinced now more than ever that you receive Healing through Humility.
Friend, I'm willing to lay my heart out, tell my struggles, and inform you of victories if it would just help one person who has been diagnosed with this disease. And I can not remain silent of the Goodness of God in my life.
So what is Hepatitis C? Hepatitis C is a virus in the bloodstream that attacks the liver. They call it the "silent killer" because people won't know they have it until about 10-20 years down the road when their livers are failing. Either they find out when they are in pain and it's too late….or if they decide to randomly donate blood because of a blood drive at work (me. ). Hepatitis C is passed primarily through infected needles. Oftentimes the source of it is because of infected tattoo needles or drugs.
When I received this letter and yes…Googled it (Bad idea.) I learned the common sources of the virus. I haven't done drugs and I don't have a tattoo (I'm not against them..I even contemplated getting one. Here's what I decided. If I'm 40 and still single…I'm getting a tattoo. Don't ask why…I don't know.)
So I was still unaware of how I contracted the virus. I went to the doctor (better than Google) and they informed me that blood wasn't checked for the Hepatitis C virus in blood transfusions before 1991.
And then my mind went back to another story where God's hand of Grace and protection was at work.
This story really begins 26 years ago, August 8, 1988. One of our family friends was taking me to daycare. At only 18 months old, I had just learned how to unbuckle my car seat. Barry J (the driver) turned around, telling me to get back in my seat. As he turned, so did the corner. The car went off the road and flipped, from what I heard, 7 times. Since I wasn't in my car seat, I flew out of the window.
The only way it is possible I am even alive is miraculous.
I've heard of 18 YEAR OLDS being ejected from a car and dying on impact. I believe an angel placed me down that day. When the ambulance arrived, I was dead on Arrival. They immediately care-flighted me to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, TX. I have a special place in my heart for that hospital now. I even met one of the paramedics years later. I'm crying as I write this. Just thinking how grateful I am.
When I arrived at the hospital, they injected dye to see if I had any internal damage. I actually still have a small scar on my stomach from the procedure. (That's not widely known…probably because I don't bare my stomach that often…haha) I had brain trauma and a broken femur. They put me in a full body cast. It was quite the sight to see…a little baby in a huge cast. I'll try to find a picture. Well, it was at the hospital that I received multiple blood transfusions.
The doctors didn't think I'd make it and the Hepatitis C virus thought it would someday take my life… but here I am today to say that God is faithful. I will live and not die and declare the works of the Lord (Psalm 118:17).

Standing her ground, one curious cow stares at me, ready to bolt if necessary.
I've always loved the black and white hides of Holstein cows. A few weeks ago I had the interesting adventure of visiting Brad and Lori Gernaat's dairy farm in Marion, Michigan, with my son and his family. What a surprise! Somehow I have missed the change from seeing dairy cows in fields to their disappearance from farm pastures. They now remain in large barns where they seem perfectly content to munch on the silage they're provided, and wander around the aisles of their domicile. The land they used to graze raises the silage the cows are fed, the liquid refuse from cleaning their barns fertilizes the fields.
The Gernaat's barns are open so their 1500 cows always have fresh air, but they also have curtains that can be pulled down in winter to prevent the worst of the cold entering the barn. The cows are milked three times a day. I watched them at one milking. One cow gave twenty gallons of milk. If she gave the same amount at every milking, that's sixty gallons of milk a day! Wow.
Off to be milked, the cows follow each other out of one barn and down the track that leads to the milking barn. Of course, curious creatures that they are, they had to stop and look at the visitors. Once in the milking barn they turn their rears to the machine. Two men work cleaning utters and attaching milking tubes. A few minutes later, the machines release and the job is done. The cows have to wait until every cow is finished being milked, then the gates open and they walk back to their barn. Creatures of habit, they seem very content with their lives.
I felt bad for the calves which are pulled from their mamas soon after birth, but it is a safety issue, and soon enough they are growing up with a group of friends.

Learn Node.js for web development
Learn Node.js for web development
Node.js® is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient. Node.js' package ecosystem, npm, is the largest ecosystem of open source libraries in the world.
As an asynchronous event driven JavaScript runtime, Node is designed to build scalable network applications. In the following "hello world" example, many connections can be handled concurrently. Upon each connection the callback is fired, but if there is no work to be done, Node will sleep.
const http = require('http');
const hostname = '127.0.0.1';
const port = 3000;
const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
res.statusCode = 200;
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
res.end('Hello World\n');
server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`);
This is in contrast to today's more common concurrency model where OS threads are employed. Thread-based networking is relatively inefficient and very difficult to use. Furthermore, users of Node are free from worries of dead-locking the process, since there are no locks. Almost no function in Node directly performs I/O, so the process never blocks. Because nothing blocks, scalable systems are very reasonable to develop in Node.
If some of this language is unfamiliar, there is a full article on Blocking vs Non-Blocking.

Today R2M brings you an update from Amy, a previous guest writer, who shared her journey while taking care of her newborn son Hudson after he was diagnosed with HLHS (hypoplastic left heart syndrome). After a strong fight, Hudson went to be with the Lord at eight months old. Today, Amy shares the complex emotions that come with being a mom, a mom of loss, and a mom waiting to adopt. I invite you to support Amy and Corey this Christmas by contributing to their adoption fund found here. You can also find more information on her Facebook page @HudsonsHeart.
A message from Amy:
"Our oldest was only nine months old when we found out that our second son, Hudson, was on the way. We were surprised in the best of ways. We started thinking about how close our boys would be growing up together and the money we could save with the hand-me-downs and shared toys. Everything changes when you find out you are pregnant. You start thinking in timelines and planning based on the arrival of this incredible bundle of joy.
But, about halfway through my pregnancy, we found out that Hudson had a severe congenital heart defect called hypoplastic left heart syndrome. A few months after that diagnosis, we were told that he had several other complications and that our best bet for his survival was an immediate move from North Carolina to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. So, in a whirlwind, we dropped everything, including a full-time job, and moved.
We were in Philadelphia for nine months where we welcomed our precious second born, and we also lost him after many surgeries and a strong fight. I feel incredibly honored to be Hudson's mom and the experience of loving him has forever changed who I am. I experience his absence all of the time, whether in big moments or in small ones. I see where he belongs at the dinner table and in the backseat next to his brother. I miss out on buying gifts for his birthday and Christmas. Tears come easily and regularly and sometimes I just have to take the day to grieve my precious, strong heart warrior.
As my husband and I have worked through and faced our devastating grief, we talked about growing our family again. We both remembered conversations we had during our dating and engagement about hopes for our future. One of our dreams was to have biological children, and also to adopt children. We would say to one another, "Have two. Adopt two."
We are now pursuing adoption to grow our family. We have completed all of the many requirements to be approved for our home study and by our agency. Now, we simply wait for THE phone call that says we are matched with our child. As you can imagine, I am glued to my phone!
There are many roads to motherhood. I married in my mid-thirties and honestly, in my single years, I had moments where I wondered if I would have the opportunity to become a mom. But, I certainly never, ever dreamed that I would be a mom of loss. No one wants that title. With God's grace, I will always be juggling the deep emotions of loving my first-born son, grieving the loss of my second born son, and the exciting anticipation of becoming a mom again through adoption."
Amy is life coach and writer who has worked for several large non-profit ministries including Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan. Amy is married to her husband, Corey, who is a news helicopter pilot in Chicago. They have two sons, Graham and Hudson. Graham is three and half years old. After battling congenital heart disease, Hudson passed away at eight months old. They are also in the process of growing their family through adoption.

With the New Year upon us slowly turning into just another year, every single day becomes the perfect time to reflect and think about what is keeping you motivated. Because if you can truly understand those motivations, then they will continue to push you even when life gets in the way. Motivation doesn't just ignite without you creating the flame. And you have to create that flame day after day after day, even when you don't feel like it.
Eating well and working out is hard compared to other alternatives. It's hard to plan your meals, it's hard to prep them, it's hard to get to the gym, it's even harder to workout. It's easy to go through a drive-thru, to sit on the couch, to make excuses and to do it all over the next day. Which turns into the next then the next. And it's even easier to do all this when life is full of kids, or a sick parents, or a car that is in the shop or grandparents living with you, or an illness, or whatever else may be in your life at the time. With all the different things that life throws our way, it's easy to lose motivation, to lose sight on our goals, and to lose the excitement we once had.
But it doesn't have to be that way, as long as you're willing to constantly reflect and remind yourself why you were once motivated. For me, I was finally fed up 7 years ago and wanted to be happy in my own skin. I wanted the outside to represent how I felt on the inside. I wanted to wake up every day with a purpose, with a goal, and with a plan to accomplish everything I had envisioned for myself. And I've done that, every single day. I never lose my motivation because I constantly remind myself that something that comes easily probably isn't worth having. You know what my daily motivation is? Being the best version of myself. I want to be proud of the person who I see in the mirror every day. And over the past 7 years, I never let that motivation die out. I'm constantly igniting that flame.
And Nordstrom helps that motivation with affordable activewear and some of the cutest sneakers around. I can have all the motivation in the world but if I don't feel good in what I'm wearing, that motivation isn't quite as strong. And I'm serious about that. If I put on an outfit that doesn't make me feel my best before I leave for the gym, I change into something that makes me feel more confident. If you have confidence in what you're wearing, that confidence will transfer over into your workout. So today I'm sharing some of my favorite leggings and sneakers that get me excited for the gym and even more motivated to become my best self in 2018. And hopefully some of these Nordstrom looks will help you find your own motivation through 2018, even when life gets in the way.

Chapter 1104:What Do We Do?
"This… this…"
All of the disciples present, including even Ye Rosewater, were staring with wide eyes. White Mirrorjade hadn't died, but the result was almost the same. Lin Ming's spear had crushed apart his organs!
Had Lin Ming gone insane?
As for White Mirrorjade's minions, all of them had frightened expressions on their faces as if they had seen a ghost.
"Senior-apprentice Brother White… Senior-apprentice Brother White… how could he…"
Throughout the entire fight, although Lin Ming had stabbed out 101 spear strikes, it had lasted less than ten breaths of time. In such a short period of time, White Mirrorjade had actually been wounded to near death!
Although White Mirrorjade's condition wasn't too good to begin with and he had also been surprise attacked by Lin Ming, after burning his own blood essence and the blood essence contained in the top grade saint artifact, his strength had still been no worse than it would be in his peak state. Even then, he had been defeated in a single move afterwards! How could that be possible?
"Senior-apprentice Brother White! Senior-apprentice Brother White!"
"Damnit, no matter what happened, this is a death sentence for Lin Ming!"
"What a heinous and unforgivable sinful man. Let's execute him now!"
As these minions saw their respected Elder Senior-apprentice Brother struck into such a state, all of them were angered. They rushed towards the battle first to examine White Mirrorjade's situation as well as to question Lin Ming.
However, just as they walked several steps, they touched upon the grandmist force field that still wrapped around Lin Ming. Their hearts thumped in their chests and a cold chill raced up their backs; they no longer dared to go forwards.
In that moment when they stepped into the range of the grandmist force field, it was the same feeling as stepping into an Asura hell. There was an oppressive feeling that suffocated them, making them desperately gasp for breath as all the strength from their bodies rapidly faded away. As for Lin Ming, who was standing in the focal center of that grandmist space, although he was only a few hundred feet away, this distance seemed to extend into infinity.
Lin Ming slowly turned around. He extracted the Phoenix Blood Spear from White Mirrorjade's body, pulling out a splash of blood as he did so.
Pi-ta! Pi-ta!
The drops of blood slowly dripping down from the edge of the Phoenix Blood Spear could be clearly heard by everyone.
All those minions that wanted to interrogate Lin Ming felt their courage flee their bodies. Their lips trembled and their bodies shook. As Lin Ming's demonic gaze fell upon them, a horrifying thought inexplicably appeared in their hearts.
Lin Ming, he… he shouldn't be trying to eliminate all witnesses, right?!
"No… don't be afraid. He definitely won't do that. If he kills us all and he is the only one who leaves, then there isn't anything he can do to explain that."
"That's right! And once we scatter and run, there's no way he can deal with us all!"
These disciples said that they weren't afraid, but their faces and tone betrayed their true feelings. They all had ashen complexions and they constantly drew backwards. In truth, what they said wasn't wrong. But, if Lin Ming had dared to openly kill White Mirrorjade like this, that clearly proved he was insane. Didn't that mean he would do something else crazy and kill them next?
And there was also Lin Ming's strength. Even those people that respected and worshipped White Mirrorjade wouldn't imagine they would be able to defeat him, even if they surprise attacked him at a point when he was weak. Without a doubt, this was testament to just how strong Lin Ming was! Even if the two of them were in their peak states, Lin Ming would likely still be able to defeat White Mirrorjade.
In this situation, these disciples no longer cared that Lin Ming was only at the eighth stage of Life Destruction, nor did they hold out on the chance that they could join forces to defeat him. In fact, all of them were now thinking about immediately dispersing and fleeing as far as they could. With so many people, there would always be a few of them that managed to survive.
"Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, you've gone mad!"
Ye Rosewater anxiously said, her slender white hands tightly clenched together, her fingers weaving into each other. Although she also wanted to eliminate White Mirrorjade, she hadn't wanted the current situation to occur. She didn't know why the Island Master of Carefree Island was doing everything in his power to protect Lin Ming, but that didn't mean he would still tolerate him after Lin Ming killed White Mirrorjade in front of everyone. That would be the same as slapping his own face.
Before Lin Ming attacked, he hadn't even made a sound or given a hint. This clearly meant that he thought she would stop him, thus he decided to act now and deal with the consequences later! This was just far too rash!
"Senior-apprentice Brother Lin, he…" That Junior-apprentice Brother Song was also at a loss for words.
As for Xiao Raingem, who had been arguing with White Mirrorjade's subordinates, she was completely withered. She had only been trading banter and mocking words. If someone had told her to do as Lin Ming did and suddenly set someone up in such a deathtrap, she wouldn't be able to do so even with a hundred times the courage.
"We're finished. Senior-apprentice Sister Ye, what do we do?" Xiao Raingem's charming and lustful face now looked like a frostbitten eggplant.
"Lin Ming… you have guts… hahahaha… hahahaha!" Underneath the Phoenix Blood Spear, White Mirrorjade's entire body twitched. As he opened his mouth to speak, foamy blood gushed out from between his lips.
At this time he had lost over half the body in his blood. His chest had a gaping wound in it, exposing his insides. His right lung had been completely smashed into a pulp and there was not a single rib in his body that wasn't broken. The broken ribs had even shifted and pierced into his organs. His liver and spleen had burst open and blood was flowing from his chest cavity.
After being beaten into such a state, White Mirrorjade actually managed to maintain a fearless expression. He didn't beg for mercy nor did he fall into despair. "Lin Ming, if you have the guts then kill me! Hahaha! I want to see just what you'll do then! Do you think you can kill everyone here to eliminate all witnesses? The basis of that is if you can kill dozens of people as they are scattering in all directions! Or, perhaps you will convince Junior-apprentice Sister Ye to lead all these rebels and betray the sect?"
Even though White Mirrorjade's words lacked energy, he was still able to speak. By transferring true essence from his dantian, he was barely able to maintain his voice. In truth, his lungs were injured so badly that he couldn't speak anymore. In such a situation, he still summoned true essence from his dantian; this was clearly taxing on White Mirrorjade. It caused more and more blood to flow out from his body.
White Mirrorjade's words were intended to deliberately point out Ye Rosewater. He knew what sort of character Ye Rosewater had and knew that she absolutely wouldn't dare to shoulder the offense of betraying her sect. And even if she did dare to do so, the disciples under her wouldn't.
As for White Mirrorjade keeping up this confident appearance, although it seemed as if it were intended to anger Lin Ming, the truth was that it was intended to place a mental pressure on Lin Ming so that he would understand that he couldn't win and to calm him down.
Lin Ming sneered. He lifted the Phoenix Blood Spear. The spearpoint lifted up, slowly reaching towards White Mirrorjade's exposed and beating heart.
Just what sort of feeling was it to have a cold spearpoint touch one's heart? This sort of killing intent was simply indescribable!
As White Mirrorjade's heart beat, it was poked by the spearpoint, causing fresh blood to leak out. This was truly the feeling of taking a knife to the heart. Even if White Mirrorjade was maintaining his vibrant aura as much as possible, his complexion still paled and he trembled all over.
If Lin Ming gently pushed his hand forwards, or even if Lin Ming's grip on the Phoenix Blood Spear loosened, White Mirrorjade's heart would be pierced through!
"You!?" White Mirrorjade's eyes widened.
"You sure speak a lot of crap. You don't seem to understand your present situation. You are now my prisoner. I just need to make a bit of effort to eliminate you!" As Lin Ming spoke, killing intent flowed out from his entire body. His eyes flashed with a purple light.
As White Mirrorjade met Lin Ming's burning gaze, his heart nearly failed. A cold chill rushed through his entire body. He could feel that Lin Ming wasn't joking at all:he could really kill him.
"You… you are insane!" White Mirrorjade shouted out, outwardly fierce even as he shook on the inside.
"Hehe, I'm insane? The insane one here is you! You colluded with Splintersoul Mountain and the Occult Bone Clan, wanting to send me into a deathtrap, and you were even willing to sacrifice Ye Rosewater and her subordinates for this reason. You think I don't know of all this?"
Lin Ming directly spoke out the main matter. But as White Mirrorjade heard Lin Ming's reasoning, he didn't seem panicked at all. Instead, he sneered and said, "Lin Ming, I have no idea what you are talking about!"
"This… argh!" Ye Rosewater sighed, not knowing what to say. She had wanted to quietly gather evidence, waiting until she had enough that she could topple White Mirrorjade from his lofty perch. But what use was that now? Without any evidence, there was nothing that could be done! One didn't need to be a genius to know that White Mirrorjade would deny any such claims!
"Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, you are too impatient. You…" Ye Rosewater whispered.
"Senior-apprentice Sister Ye, I know what your plan was, but did you really think that with your methods you could compete with White Mirrorjade's cunning and find enough evidence to bring him down?" Lin Ming asked back with a true essence sound transmission.
Ye Rosewater was stunned, not immediately responding. Indeed, Lin Ming wasn't wrong. In terms of machinations, she wasn't White Mirrorjade's match at all. Whether it was individual strength, mentality, background, or how ruthless and merciless one needed to be, she couldn't compete with White Mirrorjade at all. And if it weren't for Lin Ming saving her this time, she would have likely been abducted by the Occult Bone Clan to be used as a human furnace. Although she would live now, the chances of her finding enough evidence to bring down White Mirrorjade were next to zero. It was likely that she would be the one framed by White Mirrorjade instead, and she would ultimately die a tragic death after suffering endless abuse.
In fact, how could Ye Rosewater not be aware of this point? Even so, what could she do? If she tried to do as Lin Ming did and kill White Mirrorjade, that would only mean she would die faster.
"Lin Ming! How dare you slander the good names of others!"
"Lin Ming, you simply have the heart of a wolf, you depraved and cruel beast! When you were missing, Senior-apprentice Brother White always said that we had to look for you! Senior-apprentice Brother White has been the Elder Senior-apprentice Brother for so many years and he has also protected and cherished his fellow disciples, treating them with kindness and care! How could he possibly frame you! Moreover, in this mystic realm where we had to fight with the Occult Bone Clan and Splintersoul Mountain, framing you would only mean that our own strength would be weakened! Do you think that Senior-apprentice Brother White could be as cold and callous as you to plot against those from the same sect!?"
"Lin Ming, don't you think these excuses you come up with are too ridiculous!? If you say that Senior-apprentice Brother White betrayed you, then where is the evidence? Bring out the evidence!"
White Mirrorjade didn't even need to speak, his minions were suitably angry for him. At this time, they were so enraged that they even forgot how terrifying Lin Ming was.
In everyone's heart, White Mirrorjade was a charming and cordial fellow who knew to repay kindness with kindness. He had the ways of a venerable Elder and he was also very wise and able to take center stage in all situations. In the eyes of the young disciples, White Mirrorjade's fame and prestige far surpassed Ye Rosewater's. In other words, he was material naturally born to be the future Island Master. This was why White Mirrorjade had so many subordinates.
In this sort of situation, Lin Ming had said that White Mirrorjade had betrayed his sect. How could anyone else believe this?

Moderat - ABC, Glasgow, Sat 8 Feb 2014
- Colin Chapman
- 18 February 2014
The much-delayed live date for Modeselektor and Apparat's joint project was worth the wait
Spare a thought for club promoters, Substance, as a series of unfortunate events meant that this gig nearly didn't happen. Originally timed to celebrate the Edinburgh club night's seventh birthday last October, a motorbike accident, venue closure, then a drug-related death at The Arches meant it was forced to switch date, city, then venue again.
So when Sascha Ring (aka Berlin-based techno/ambient producer Apparat, who fell from said motorbike), Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary (aka Berlin techno duo, Modeselektor) appear on stage, the crowd's particularly noisy and enthusiastic welcome feels like a mixture of joy and relief now that they are at last able to perform. Standing in front of two intersected screens, the animated white-line, comic-style drawings shooting across them seem almost 3D and form part of the concert's minimal lighting; a setting which accentuates the differing elements of the combined Modeselektor and Apparat sound.
'A New Error', 'Rusty Nails', 'Versions' and 'Milk' balance emotive chord sequences with shuffling beats and metronomic rhythms, using Apparat's treated, haunting vocal to great effect, while 'This Time' and 'Damage Done' have a more cinematic, soundtrack feel. As tumbling figures are projected behind the trio, they mix chiming electronics, ascending guitar lines and synth pulses amongst breakbeats and rumbling, tribal drums on 'Last Time', 'Les Grandes Marches' and 'Nr 22'.
Later, the enthralling and anthemic closing salvo of 'Gita', 'Let in the Light' and encore, 'Therapy', offer Moderat at their best, each track expertly showcasing their deft ability to move feet and stir emotions in equal measure.
