Jesus wept.
Tears. Just to double check I looked it up in the Hebrew dictionary…yep, actual tears. *Geek alert – maybe I should have led with that.*
Also, shortest verse in the Bible. Mind blown? Good.
And ironically (or not) it is found in the Gospel of John, which is the Gospel that has the most sent language woven throughout.
Whoa, halt the presses. Sent language? Yes, folks…not only did God SEND Jesus to earth. Jesus SENT disciples. Jesus SENT his followers. Then to empower them all…Father SENT the Holy Spirit. Thus the beautiful sent language of the Bible that sheds light on our souls that we are ALL indeed missionaries. We are ALL sent.
All found in that lovely Gospel of John, with some tears in the middle.
One of the most tearful times in my life was ripping myself away from the Chinese students we had spent 4 weeks loving and caring about…pouring every part of ourselves into. It is not physically, humanly possible to love someone that much in 4 weeks…that is something more than just who we are as sent people, it is something that comes alive with God moving through us in our relationships with those around us. For the first time, during that summer while leaving the students we'd grown to love, I understood why the Ephesians elders were so torn up about Paul leaving them. [Acts 20:36-38]
Jesus was about relationships. How could he not be? Then within those relationships people came to expect things from him. Why? Because he was the miracle man. The one with all the confusing answers…and the one who was healing people left and right.
If you are Jesus' friend in those times, would you expect him to be there to make everything right when YOU needed it to be right?
I would. Not because it's about me, but because of the faith I would have been growing while being around such miracles.
In John 11, Jesus gets word that Lazarus is sick, but instead of the normal human reaction of running to a bedside…Jesus uses this opportunity to show his power, yet again, to those around him.
By the time he gets there, Mary and Martha are…let's just say more than your usual angry…Mary doesn't even come out to meet him and Martha actually says to him, 'if you had been here, my brother would not have died.'
Do you blame them? They had watched Lazarus go through the pain of dying, then Lazarus had already been in the tomb for 4 days AND they'd been grieving that whole time.
So then, Jesus asks for Mary…stay with me…we are almost there.
Mary goes to him, and what does she lead with but, 'Lord if you had been here, my brother would not have died.' See a trend here?
"When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. 'Where have you laid him?' he asked." [John 11:33]
Jesus wept.
There are so many ways I've heard people take this, but honestly, I've always viewed this as Jesus, the human. Out of all the things John could have written…John chooses to reveal that Jesus wept. I've always wondered if John sat there with his scroll and ink, pondering – 'Should I show this side of him? Will anyone think him weak?' Normally in a Scottish accent, not sure why…just Scottish.
But there is beauty in the realness of that friendship and love. There is beauty that in the midst of a Gospel full of movement and people being sent…there is emotion and time for Jesus to pause in his own community while the Pharisees are literally breathing down his neck.
But there is more…because even in the story of Lazarus, even in the midst of this pause where we see Jesus with those he loved deeply we hear this:
'Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you SENT me.' [John 11:41]
Then Lazarus was raised from the dead and everyone moved on in their sentness.
Just kidding…then the Pharisees kicked it into gear and it all progressed to the cross where we should find ourselves falling and refueling for this crazy sent ride we are on with God.
Apologies, my brain is scattered because we leave on the Junior High mission trip tomorrow, but my point is this…even in the acknowledgment and acceptance of the simple reality that we truly are a sent people, emotions are a part of it. The anger, passion, kindness and compassion…the tears…when you live as an active participant in God's Kingdom work, when you are actively loving and caring about the relationships around you…there is no way to avoid the emotion. Embrace it, because even though the last thing I ever want to do is admit anything ever leaks from my eyes…Jesus is the example we follow and even he wept for his friends.
This post is a part of a series that my blogging buds and I are doing as a part of extending our Lent experience. To read more about that go here. We blog the same word on the 15th of each month, though I am pretty sure I am the first to post this month and it is the 16th…so give 'em some grace, because this will be the first & last time I get one up before them.

23.5.17- A day many will remember. The highly anticipated soccer finals match would take place and unfortunately, a defeat would ensue.
At about 2.45pm, streams of yellow started to fill the Jalan Besar stadium. In the near distance, a sea of blue started to occupy the opposite end of the stadium. Supportive peers from VJC and MJC respectively, slowly made their way down to cheer the Soccer Boys on in their battle for the championship title.
Spontaneous cheers from the schools echoed throughout the stadium as the match started. Occasional exclamations and shrieks could be heard when players got injured as well as when the ball inched its way nearer and nearer to the goalposts.
The first half of the game saw both teams with a draw score of 0-0. This left the teams as well as the spectators anxious and apprehensive for the remaining half of the game.
The game intensified as the second half of the game began. The initial part of the game still had no progress and scores remained stagnant. However, towards the last 30 minutes of the game, MJC successfully scored a goal and this sent thunderous cheers emerging from the MJ side. This was followed by a goal scored on the Victorian side, which equalized the score.
At this moment, everyone was buzzing with excitement and was a bundle of nerves. Who will win? No one really knew.
Unfortunately, the tie in the match score did not last long as MJ then scored two more goals, resulting in a defeat on VJ's side.
Sitting among the spectators, Haziq Ruzaiman from 17A14 remarked that he felt "proud of the boys; they have fought painstakingly hard and have given their utmost best".
When interviewed, Soccer Captain Desmond Chia remarked that his team put up a extremely 'high-spirited performance' and that despite being one man down, 'they strived on'. He added that he was 'really proud' of his team and how they 'played against the odds'. He added that he 'would like to thank all [their] coaches – Mr Tan, Mr Lim, Mr Lawrence Lee for their guidance throughout this journey, [their] teachers for always putting up with [them] missing lessons or failing to do tutorials and most importantly, the whole VJC crowd and Students Council who never fail to show up for [their] matches.'
Although VJ did not win in the end, the players definitely put in their best. What is most important is that they fought with the Victorian spirit and exemplified resilience and perseverance throughout the game.

Doctors' continuing education goes online
Physicians who need to fulfill their continuing medical education requirements can now head to their computers to take a new online course from UCSF.
Last summer, UCSF announced a partnership with the online education company Coursera to offer three massive open online courses, or MOOCs, starting last month. This week, the UCSF Office of Continuing Medical Education approved one of the classes - Clinical Problem Solving - to count toward the credits that practicing physicians must accrue each year.
Doctors earning continuing medical education credits from the class pay $125, while it is free for the other students. The deadline for those enrolled in the class to sign up to receive credit is Friday.
"This is in many ways an exploration to see if physicians out in practice are interested in taking classes in this format," said Dr. Catherine Lucey, the vice dean of education at the UCSF School of Medicine, who is teaching the class.
Doctors, in addition to other health care providers, are required to stay up-to-date on the latest research and practices through continuing education. For many doctors, that might mean coming to San Francisco for a weeklong conference and sitting through lectures and demonstrations.
But as everything from buying toothpaste to disease diagnosis has headed online, so too has education. More than 2.7 million people around the world have signed up for Coursera classes, which are offered by institutions including Stanford and Princeton.
Lucey said 28,000 people have signed up for her class, 65 percent of them outside the United States. She said about 200 faculty members from medical schools have enrolled - a possible sign that they are looking at promoting online continuing education at their institutions.
If classes like Lucey's take off, it would allow health care providers to take the classes on their own schedules. Rural doctors, for example, would not have to take a week away from their practices to come to a conference.
Lucey said online classes may also be more effective than traditional instruction because they can engage the students more. Students can chat with each other in online forums to discuss the material, and to gain credit from her class, the physicians have to turn in regular homework.
One concern, however, is how to verify that a person who signed up for the class is using his or her true identity. In January, Coursera, which was founded by Stanford computer scientists, launched Signature Track as a way to verify the identities of people taking the classes for credit or a certificate.
For the Clinical Problem Solving class at UCSF, students who want to earn credit have to pay $39 for the Signature Track process in addition to the fee for the class.
While this is the first continuing medical education class to be offered online from UCSF, others focused on diabetes, geriatrics and emergency medicine are already in the pipeline, Lucey said.
"Medical knowledge is changing very rapidly," she said. "New discoveries are being put into practice every month."

Thursday 17th October 2013 - 14:00 to 15:00
INI Seminar Room 1
Co-authors: David Gross (University of Freiburg), Matthias Christandl (ETH Zurich) The problem of determining and describing the family of 1-particle reduced density operators (1-RDO) arising from N-fermion pure states (via partial trace) is known as the fermionic quantum marginal problem. We present its solution, a multitude of constraints on the eigenvalues of the 1-RDO, generalizing the Pauli exclusion principle. To explore the relevance of these constraints we study an analytically solvable model of N-fermions in a harmonic potential and determine the spectral `trajectory' corresponding to the ground state as function of the fermion-fermion interaction strength. Intriguingly, we find that the occupation numbers are almost, but not exactly, pinned to the boundary of the allowed region. Our findings suggest a generalization of the Hartree-Fock approximation.
If it doesn't, something may have gone wrong with our embedded player.
We'll get it fixed as soon as possible.

Fracking is "incompatible" with protected landscapes and should be the very last targets for so-called lateral fracking by gas extraction firms, the director of planning at the North York Moors National Park Authority said.
Chris Bond: Will region's house prices pay the cost of fracking?
The process of hydraulic fracturing is legally banned from the surface inside the boundaries of national parks, but seven firms have a licence to carry out exploratory work in Yorkshire and one of them, Ineos, holds licences for areas on the edge of the Moors.
Moors bosses recently met with Ineos, which is weighing up when to start exploratory work in Yorkshire, and made clear they would not welcome attempts to seek permission to reach shale rock beneath the park from well sites outside its boundaries.
According to Moors planning chief Chris France, the park authority takes the same view to lateral fracking as it does to the practice directly from the surface of the park.
He said the park will pursue all means possible within its policies to resist applications for exploratory drilling and lateral fracking.
"The national park is the last place they should be looking to frack, not the first."Chris France, director of planning at the North York Moors National Park Authority.
Fracking: Battle lines are drawn... and fracking war is just starting
Mr France told The Yorkshire Post: "Our concern is that Ineos have got a handful of exploration licences for areas in and on the edge of the national park. What they have said at this stage is once they know the geology of these places, if that exploration provides positive results for them, their intention then would be to access those reserves from under the National Park, drilling laterally from outside.
"But it's industrial development which will have a significant environmental impact in a sensitive landscape including the visual of the drilling rigs associated with it, and we are not just talking about one, but potentially several on the edge of the Moors. People have spoken about a ring of steel around the park's boundary."
Any proliferation of drilling rigs on the edge of the park would damage the visual splendour of the park, he said, and that visual impact, as well as the likely public concern it could trigger could be detrimental to the £650m tourism industry of the Moors and its surrounding areas, and to the park authority's strategy to attract more people to visit and enjoy its famous scenery.
Mr France said: "People come here to enjoy our landscapes and one of the strategic priorities of the authority is to raise the park's profile nationally and internationally as a place that is wonderful for people to come to, for their health and wellbeing, and which is also good for the economy. We see industrial development as incompatible with that."
He said any fracking on the edge of the park would risk repeating the type of public unrest witnessed at Third Energy's fracking site at Kirby Misperton.
"This has resulted in considerable policing resources and there are clearly wider public interest issues here," Mr France said. "Why bring that controversy to a really sensitive place which will obviously result in a protracted battle, costing time, money and tying up public resources when shale gas exists in far less protected parts of the country.
The front line in the campaign to halt fracking in Yorkshire village of Kirby Misperton
"We just don't want that in the middle of a beautiful place that we want to attract people to. This will not be in the interests of the shale gas industry which, if it is to have a future in this country needs to convince people that this is safe and will not threaten cherished landscapes and well-established rural tourism.
"In my view, taking on a controversial site is not the way to achieve this and we will be doing everything we can to dissuade them from coming and we will do everything we can in planning policy to safeguard our national asset.
"Fracking underneath the park from outside brings with it the same environmental concerns that people are worried about - potential pollution to ground water, air quality and induced seismic activity, which is what closed the industry down for a year after this happened in Lancashire.
"These techniques are untried and untested and the Government rightly has stated that a precautionary approach must be taken. To start fracking shale gas under a national park and one that has very important ground water aquifers that serve local water supplies, to me is not adopting a "precautionary approach" and the industry needs to listen to the Government on this."
"The national park is the last place they should be looking to frack, not the first.
The planning director believes any environmental impact to the national park caused by fracking would be illogical.
"The North York Moors is a very beautiful place and was recently voted the favourite national park. If national parks aren't about protecting these precious landscapes for people, what are they for? Shale gas is one industrial development too far."
It is the special environments of national parks that attract visitors from far and wide, and it is such nationally important landscapes and the associated economic benefit of tourism that are just two of the reasons why Chris France believes the Moors must be protected from the impacts of fracking.
A European Special Protection Area for merlin and golden plover, the Moors, which covers an area of 554 square miles, is recognised internationally as a haven for ground nesting birds.
It is home to Britain's most northerly colony of the Duke of Burgundy butterfly, has the southernmost dwarf cornel colony and one of the largest concentrations of ancient and veteran trees in the North.

How to get the Kardashians' Calvin Klein campaign looks for less than $100
The chic Western ensembles worn by the Kardashians for Calvin Klein's fashion campaign are now available at Macy's. The best news? Each item is on sale for less than $100.
You can snatch up Kim and Kylie's two-tone black and blue Western shirts, worn in the campaign, for only $83 (originally $118) and buy Kourtney and Kendall's side-stripe jeans (available in white, khaki, blue, and black) for $90 (originally $128). Note, these sale prices won't last long (Macy's VIP 30 percent off sale ends Sunday, March 25). However, even if you miss the sale, the retail prices are a steal compared to the brand's main collection label, Calvin Klein 205W39NYC, whose prices typically run into three or four digits.
The Kardashians were some of the celebrities tapped for the all-star #MyCalvins model cast, which began to roll out last November. They were a natural fit for the Calvin Klein Jeans campaign, which was centered on family, Americana, and the Western spirit. "Family is everything," Kim told Vogue.com, "so when we're all together doing something special like this, it means so much." Kaia Gerber, Presley Gerber, Solange, and A$AP Mob were all part of the campaign series, too, with the latest one featuring Paris Jackson, Sadie Sink, and Millie Bobby Brown.
Ever since Raf Simons, Calvin Klein's chief creative officer, took the helm in 2017 and introduced his two-tone Western shirts, they have easily become the most coveted items of the year. The shirts became such a hit that celebrities from Margot Robbie to First Lady Melania Trump both jumped onboard. But Robbie's and Trump's shirts were from the higher-priced Calvin Klein 205W39YC line and would have cost you $695. Now, you can get almost exactly the same version for what is essentially 88 percent off.
This is a strategic move by Simons and the Calvin Klein brand to further amplify their selling power by offering a popular runway item at an attainable, consumer-friendly price.
Click through the gallery to shop the items now, and head to Macys.com for the complete Calvin Klein Jeans collection.

Explore Fall Foliage in Georgia State Parks Near Rabun County
Sep 22, 2016 07:09PM
● By Melanie Heisinger
Sweetwater Creek. Photo courtesy of Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites.
Nothing can top a breathtaking view of Georgia's forests painted with a myriad of oranges, reds and golds in the crisp autumn air. Georgia's leaves change colors in October, and Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites are the perfect place to enjoy leaf-peeping during the peak of fall color.
Autumn weather beckons trail-goers to enjoy the cooler climate via water, wheels or trusty hiking boots: feel the leaves crunch underfoot while hiking, breeze past a blur of fall foliage on a mountain bike, and paddle the waters and gaze at the leaves both above in the trees and below in the water's reflection in Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites.
Georgia State Parks feature stunning views of the changing leaves for experienced and novice hikers alike. Take a breath of fresh fall air and admire the colorful views of Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee at Black Rock Mountain State Park's scenic overlook. Those looking to take a walk on the wilder side can scale beautiful summits on the 7.2 mile Edmund C. Backcountry Trail, where the crest of Lookoff Mountain offers a stunning vista of Wolffork Valley and surrounding mountain ranges.
Vogel State Park's four mile Bear Hair Gap Trail is family-friendly, and offers a birds-eye view of Lake Trahlyta. For beginners circle the one mile Lake Loop to a miniature waterfall that is framed by the surrounding golden foliage.
Tallulah Gorge State Park is one of the most spectacular canyons in the Southeast, and you can choose from easy or difficult trails. Hike along the rim to several overlooks with waterfall views, or get a permit from the park office to trek all the way to the bottom. During three weekends November, you can watch expert kayakers plunge down the river during the bi-annual "whitewater release." Watch from the gorge's east and west rim trails.
Moccasin Creek State Park, Georgia's smallest state park, sits on the shore of a gorgeous deep-green lake. Despite its mountain location, the park is relatively flat, so the hiking trails are great for families of all ages. Choose to hike the 2-mile Hemlock Falls Trail or 1-mile Non-Game Trail that leads to a wildlife observation tower.

Mountain bikers will get their fill of fall thrills on Georgia's mountain biking trails as they speed down invigorating hills and breeze past colorful overlooks of the Chattahoochee National Forest at Fort Mountain State Park. Put your endurance to the test on 14.6 miles of trails on the East/West Loop that includes a technical downhill section through a powerline alley.
Race past bright fall colors and scenic views in the open forests of Unicoi and Red Top Mountain state parks. Even seasoned cyclists are tested on Unicoi's seven-mile bike trail, that parallels Smith Creek. See rich autumn views at the higher elevation portions of the trail. Circle Red Top Mountain's meandering four-mile Iron Hill Trail loop while admiring the spectacular sights of Lake Allatoona's autumn foliage. All three parks belong to Georgia's Muddy Spokes Club, a series of mountain biking trails created to challenge experienced and casual cyclists alike to tackle 68 miles of trails in 11 state parks.
At Moccasin Creek State Park, the 2,800-acre Lake Burton is a prime spot for fishing and paddling, and in fall bass, crappie and bream are easy to catch. The park is only open until November 30, so take advantage of this gem—RV camping is popular at the park's 54 campsites.
Those looking for an outdoor getaway can find a variety of accommodations that allow visitors modern luxuries while nestled for a night in the wilderness, including yurts, cabins and campgrounds.
One of the most scenic locations is at Cloudland Canyon State Park, where the 10-yurt village sits on the edge of the canyon, and at Tugaloo State Park, where six yurts are positioned on the banks of Hartwell Reservoir.
If nature-goers are looking for an elegant mountain retreat, Smithgall Woods State Park offers six beautifully decorated cabins. Some cottages provide a charming porch along the stream, while others have private hot tubs. Traverse the one-mile trail from any of the six cottages to reach a stunning view of Dukes Creek Falls.
Wondering when is the best time to visit? Only Mother Nature knows for sure, but peak color in Georgia is usually toward the end of October or early November. To help leaf peepers find the best scenery, Georgia's State Parks offer an online "Leaf Watch" travel planner, found at GaStateParks.org/leafwatch.

When the Los Angeles Kings stepped up to the podium to make the 41st overall selection in the NHL Draft, Calgary native Jaret Anderson-Dolan was sitting in the stands with his family and had a feeling he was about to hear his name called. He was correct and he stood up and made sure he hugged every one of his family members including his parents Fran and Nancy.
"When I heard my name, there was lots of emotion, excitement, but it's really hard to explain the exact feeling. My mom started crying and I made sure to give her a real big hug," Anderson-Dolan explained in the media scrum following being drafted.
The Spokane Chief sophomore put up 39 goals and 37 assists this season while playing in all 72 WHL games which was quite the improvement on his 16-year-old freshman season that saw him score 14 goals and 12 assists.
"My head coach Don Nachbaur really helped me improve my two-way game and how to be an impactful player every shift," JAD said, as he is known in the scouting room. "I see myself as a very hard working two-way forward who can contribute in any situation and play a competitive 60-minute game."
In Spokane, Nachbaur recently was dismissed of his head coaching duties and coincidentally was hired by the Kings as an Assistant Coach just last week.
A native of Calgary, Anderson-Dolan was HockeyNow's Alberta Minor Hockey Player of the Year in 2014 and now sees himself playing in the near future with the Los Angeles Kings.
"I had a good feeling about the Kings after speaking with them at the Combine and thought it was a good fit right away," JAD said, "L.A. is a much bigger city than Calgary but I'm really looking forward to my future there and helping them succeed in the future."
Anderson-Dolan was the second Spokane Chief drafted as his best friend and linemate Kailer Yamamoto was selected on Friday night 22nd overall by the Edmonton Oilers.
"Kailer is my best friend and it was so great to see him get drafted. I am really happy for him and know that he will be a successful NHL hockey player," JAD added.
During Draft week, multiple media outlets came out with stories about Anderson-Dolan and his involvement with the LGBTQ community and his intention to join the "Hockey is for Everybody" campaign. He grew up in a household with two mothers raising him and even used pride tape on his stick during a pre-game warm ups in late February to show his support of the LGBTQ community. His teammates also wrapped their sticks in pride tape and Anderson-Dolan kept his on the duration of the game.
"It was a normal life for me growing up, and I get asked a lot about my upbringing in a home with two mothers but I don't know any other way of growing up. Obviously it's different and for me it gives you a little perspective of how much the world is changing and has helped me grow and mature," Anderson-Dolan said.
He also attributes his hockey success to a different diet than many others.
"Growing up, I was raised in a house where we eat well and eat organic food and things like that, so for me, it's just kind of a habit, just talking about things you can do to get an advantage of your opponent. If I'm disciplined with that, then maybe it'll give me a little bit of an advantage. I was raised in a house where we eat right, so it's pretty easy for me," Anderson-Dolan said
On the ice, Anderson-Dolan will not only bring scoring and a competitive edge to the ice but also leadership as indicated by wearing an 'A' with the Chiefs and being named captain of Canada's team at the U-18 worlds.
"Just to represent Canada is a huge honour. Being named captain was a huge honour, and it was something that was really exciting. I think you learn how to lead from your parents and for me, I just try to lead by example," Anderson-Dolan said.
Whether it is next season or five seasons from now, it appears the Kings have a real good player on the ice and in the community supporting what he believes in.
Scouting Report on Anderson-Dolan
Anderson-Dolan was one of the youngest in this draft class only and is maturing at a steady pace. Stands out with NHL speed, good shot and productive scoring touch. Loves to shoot and hungry to have puck on his stick. Consistently produced all year with timely goals and big time goal scorer whose offensive ability can impact the outcome and emotion of a game. Sees time on both the Power Play and Penalty Kill. A very intense forechecker and highly motivated puck chaser, he shows good anticipation and tremendous work ethic. Has good acceleration and is quick on his edges stopping and turning. Loves to shoot from in close and can pick the top corners almost every time. Scores goals from all over the ice. Has shown improvement defensively and is becoming a reliable 200 foot player. Will gets on the nerves of opposing players often. His physical maturity is coming along and he will continue to grow.
Comparable to Philadelphia centreman Travis Konecny and projects as a two-way forward with a shoot first mentality who can contribute on both the power play and penalty kill.
ISS final ranking on Anderson-Dolan was #31 and he was drafted #41 to Los Angeles Kings.Back to Top

"This winter, I have been " Pinteresting" my way through every reasonable toddler activity. It's March. And there is still about a foot of snow on the ground here in Northeast Iowa.

White Board Magic
While in Prague for a Deep Writing Workshop with my creativity coach Eric Maisel, he walked us through a demonstration on how to use a white board to focus and track your work. He mapped out a three-month plan to write a non-fiction book. I have found that using the white board to focus my work really helps. I use this technique in different ways; this is the current version.
I note the goals at the top. These are the big ideas, the final products.
Then I list the specific things I am doing that week to advance those goals. Now the nice thing about a white board is the ability to easily erase and revise. So I can set my plans for the week and then adjust them as the week progresses. For example, I may have on the board to read a particular article for research and get that into Evernotes. Then the next step listed might be to incorporate that into the chapter where it belongs, to add some words to that chapter. But if in reading that article, I get leads on two or three additional articles that look good, I can revise my board to include more research time as opposed to writing time.
What is most helpful for me is having the plan in such an easily viewed form. My white board is oversized; many folks work with much smaller ones but bigger is better for me. It is hard to miss this in my smallish workspace. Setting the board up weekly is best for me now because I am working short at the moment, concentrating on personal essays. As I begin to plan a non-fiction book I will move to the three-month plan on the big board with a smaller board for weekly tracking. If I am working on two projects simultaneously, I just use different colored dry erase markers to identify which task goes to which project.
Simple, easy, efficient! Thanks Eric Maisel for a strategy that continues to serve me well.

DIOS finds several Rare Earth Element zones in Shipshaw Carbonatite Complex
MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA – DIOS EXPLORATION INC. intersected several Rare Earth Element mineralized zones in the first hole completed on the Shipshaw Carbonatite Complex, Saguenay, Quebec, located roughly seven kilometers away from the niobium mine and ferro-niobium facilities owned by IAMGOLD. Niobium values were also returned from a batch of some 90 samples, reaching 0.053 % Nb2O5 (niobium oxide) over 1.5 m at this stage with high grade apatite content (12 % P2O5 (phosphate) and 0.487% TREEO (total rare earth element oxides, excluding yttrium and zirconium). Several other apatite rich zones were also intercepted.
The upper alkaline complex syenite horizon was reached at less then 17 m and returned 0.70% TREEO and 9.25 % P2O5 (very high apatite content) over 0.82 m (with 0.4 11% strontium) , included within a 10.54 m horizon grading 0.172% TREEO, then followed by 0.3% TREEO over 8 m in a carbonatite sensu stricto horizon returning 0.26% TREEO over 12.27 m.
Values in P2O5 in carbonatite reached for instance 2.42 % over 3 m at a shallow vertical depth of 27 m, then at a depth of 32 m a further 7.4 m at 3 % including 4.27 % over 3 m.
This first hole was drilled almost vertically in the lowest magnetic part of the anomaly with only 6 meters of overburden above some eleven meters of Ordovician sediments lying above the alkaline complex. Interestingly, the lower 2 meters of the sediments even returned niobium and rare earth elements with 0.022 % Nb2O5, 0.228% TREEO and 0.253 % ZrO2 (zirconium oxide).
Work completed to date confirm the discovery by DIOS of a sister complex to Niobec, its footprint bearing several similarities with Niobec. Exploration work by DIOS is actually at the same stage as Niobec a few months after discovery of the rare earth core. Some 15-20 drill holes are planned and will be required at least to fully evaluate the potential for niobium, tantalum and other commodities of the Shipshaw Carbonatite Complex of DIOS.
The deposit model that DIOS is looking for is of the same complex type than Niobec's carbonatite, a sheeted dyke complex, therefore horizon alternation. Historical data shows that the Niobec discovery was first made through the center of the complex, the rare earth carbonatite, and then, with the help of extensive drilling, the niobium bearing zones were established in economical quantities, in the horizon surrounding the rare earth core.
All core was splitted in two halves and core samples averaging one meter long each were sent out to Actlabs, Ontario, Canada, for assaying with the help of several methods, including XRF, ICP-MS, INAA, etc., considering the variety of elements encountered. Usual quality control procedures were implemented, including the use of duplicates, standards and blanks.
Several other sample batch results are awaited for and new results should be released in the weeks to come.

Phased arrays are used for a wide variety of inspection and measurement applications, and they can be used for any job done by conventional ultrasonics. For example, phased arrays are used to detect and image defects including cracks , voids, and pits caused by corrosion (see video below). They are used to measure material and coating thickness, and to detect changes in material properties. Another common application is to assess the quality of welds and rivets. Phased arrays are also used to inspect joints and interfaces, for example, to detect and map adhesive.
Electronic Scanning
Electronic scanning is a process that reproduces the inspection done by moving manually a standard UT probe. An ultrasonic beam that depends on the aperture selected is electronically translated across the entire probe. This allows for faster inspections and it limits the mechanical displacement. This technique can be combined with beam focusing and beam steering. This can be done using L-wave or S-wave.
Sector Scanning
A sector scan is a process used to control an ultrasonic beam by electronically changing the beam angles within a defined sector. This is done by applying electronic delay laws to the various elements of the array. This technique is an alternative to using several standard UT transducers with different wedges. The advantages are that only one transducer is needed to inspect components under several angles; it is much faster than angled beam standard UT and it displays in real-time a cross section of the specimen allowing for easier interpretation. This can be combined with electronic focusing and used for L- and S-waves.
Total Focusing Method (TFM)
This video shows a corrosion mapping inspection using a manual scanner and the real-time Total Focusing Method (TFM). The video shows different defects (corrosion close to the surface, pitting,…) in TFM and in Elecronic scanning, using the same probe position.

First self-replicating machine makes an appearance
来源:未知 作者:饶饿 时间:2019-03-02 01:04:00
By Jeff Hecht (Image: RepRap) DEVICES capable of reproducing themselves came one step closer to reality this week as a 3D printer – assembled from parts made by an identical 3D printer – went on display at the Cheltenham Science Festival in the UK. The replica can in turn print the parts needed to build another copy, and so on. Technophobes needn't run for the hills just yet. The replicating rapid-prototyper, or "RepRap", can only reproduce its plastic parts, not its metal or electronic components.

Hack Your Gadgets
Killer HDTV Gaming
If you're fortunate enough to have a PC that can output to a widescreen TV, and you're an avid gamer, you're in luck. An increasing number of games can be played in HDTV resolutions without ugly stretching or distortion. All those extra pixels can slow down some of the most graphics-intensive games, but you needed a reason to upgrade to an even faster machine, right?
TigerDave ( www.tigerdave.com ) maintains a list of games and links to the software hacks you'll need to force them into these nonstandard modes. Much of the information comes from the home- theater gaming group at the AV Science Forum ( www.avscience.com ), but it's nicely distilled here and confirmed by TigerDave. The games vary widely in the amount of effort you have to expend. Odd behaviors, such as disappearing cursors and the like, are to be expected, but the rewards are phenomenal when everything works right.

There is a small chance the White Sox might be feeling some of the injuries to their pitching staff right now. Mike Pelfrey, replacing injured starter James Shields, lost his command in a three-run fourth inning that erased an early Sox lead. Chris Beck, called up when Zach Putnam went to the disabled list, came into the game to try to clean up a Dan Jennings jam and allowed three straight hits, as the Twins picked up an easy 7-2 victory in the opener of a six-game homestand. The White Sox have lost four straight.
With his best command, Pelfrey looks like a pretty serviceable major league pitcher. And for the first three innings he racked up grounders by spotting his sinker in the lower half of the zone and slipped a couple surprising sliders on the corners. Byron Buxton's double with two outs in the third was Pelfrey's first baserunner of the night. But he lost his command in the fourth, providing a lot of clarity about his struggles this year. He missed badly and missed up on an RBI single that Max Kepler punched through the shift to left field, and a bullet of a Kennys Vargas two-run homer to right to give the Twins a 3-2 lead.
"Terrible pitch," Pelfrey said of the home run. "It was right down the middle and kind of flat. He's got a lot of power and he, obviously, hit it. It was the same thing as the previous start, it was just three hitters. I've been around long enough and can understand that can ruin someone's night."
Jennings rescued Pelfrey from a two-on, two-out jam in the fifth by inducing a weak grounder from Vargas, but the attempt to get an additional inning from him proved disastrous. Eddie Rosario and Eduardo Escobar greeted him with back-to-back ringing singles, and after Jason Castro bounced out to Jose Abreu, freezing the runners, Ehire Adrianza one-upped him by bouncing one over Abreu, plating the runners instead. With the game already slipping to 5-2, Rick Renteria opted for Chris Beck over newfound relief ace Anthony Swarzak, and singles from Buxton and Joe Mauer, aided by a pair of bobbles from Avisail and Willy Garcia, put things very far out of reach.
"We've given our pen enough breaks for them to be in a recovered mode," Renteria said. "It didn't go for Beck as it did in the past. Holmberg did a nice job. [Jennings] stopped the bleeding and then got in a little trouble."
Not content to resign themselves to never hit old friend Hector Santiago again, the bottom of the White Sox order came to life briefly in the third. Omar Narvaez worked a one-out walk out of the lefty-lefty matchup, and was followed by the fourth base hit of Willy Garcia's career. Both scored on a pair of RBI singles from Tyler Saladino and a 110 mph bullet to right from Jose Abreu put the Sox up 2-0 early, but that was it for the night.
"We've got the energy but it seems like right now we're not clicking on all cylinders," Todd Frazier said. "It happens. When we get two runs we've gotta get four, we've gotta get six, you know. It's how that old saying goes, when you get 'em down, you've gotta, lack of a better word, you've gotta stomp on their throat."
Santiago allowed just the two runs over 6 2/3 innings, despite walking five.
"I'll have some texts here in a few minutes from those guys saying, 'Stop killing us,' or, 'Stop putting it on us,'" Santiago said.
The good
— Narvaez extended his team lead in walk rate with a free pass in the third and another in the seventh, scored, and made plenty use of a wide strike zone, making every effort to help out Pelfrey's hot start to the night.
— Abreu hit an unfathomably hard single and walked, and is up to a 133 wRC+. That would be a good season if he finished at that.
Not quite as good
— Pelfrey is still not much on missing bats, so when his location started to go, things deteriorated very quickly. He was very sharp for three innings and kept the Sox in the game, but is still not providing a high-quality output overall.
— Melky Cabrera, Avisail Garcia and Matt Davidson went a combined 0-for-12 with six strikeouts.
— Jennings and Beck, and both the Garcias, combined for the six-hit, four-run, two-error sixth inning.
The White Sox started the year with great performances from their pitching staff, surprising success from James Shields and dominance from their bullpen. Now Shields is hurt, two of their top relievers are hurt, and they are getting expectedly inferior results from their replacements. Plus, the organizational plan doesn't involve throwing a lot of top prospects at the problem in the interim. The offense isn't helping, but it wasn't doing much more than what was needed beforehand. The foundation of the Sox's early success has been weakened and it shows.
— Geovany Soto was a late scratch before the game due to right elbow soreness, the same issue that landed him on the disabled list last month. Renteria said the injury was inflammation again, and his status will be updated on Wednesday.
— Santiago had a 1.40 ERA against the White Sox coming into the night.
"This is where I grew up in baseball and this is where they gave me my first chance," Santiago said. "My first opportunity. I respect this organization, I love them, but if I can go out there and beat them every time, that's my goal. It's a different team since I've been there, but mostly front office and people I came up with, they're still there."
— The White Sox are under .500 for the first time since April 23.
Looking ahead
Derek Holland will look to continue his unreasonably hot start Wednesday at 7:10 p.m. CT. The Twins will offer Phil Hughes, who will pound the strike zone with middling stuff. In other words, the Sox will control their own fate.

Here is my 2014 year in rewind. It has been a great year with countless adventures and powder days. I was fortunate enough to go on a 2 month mountain bike trip to top off whatever I missed of the ski season, so I can\'t complain. Perhaps a October/November surf session for my next adventure???

Recently, agents of a necromancer's guild known as the Guild of Morticians have been seen slinking around the graveyards in the metropolis of Jeffsport. They have been seen with many small undead creatures, leading to speculation that someone may be digging up the corpses and selling them to the Guild of Morticians. The Jeffsport Civil Authorities Office and various splinter groups thereof, including the famous Blue Lampsmen (the Jeffsport city guard), have issued a bounty of 100 silver pieces for information leading to the capture of whoever is selling the corpses to the necromancers, and a 30 gold piece bounty on any member of the Guild of Morticians.

Intercaudate distance to inner table width ratio
Intercaudate distance to inner table width ratio (CC/IT) is used in assessing patients with neurodegenerative diseases that affect the caudate nuclei. It is best known for assessing individuals with suspected Huntington disease but is in no way specific for the diagnosis, also seen in other less common diseases (e.g. Nasu Hakola disease).
On the same axial plane obtained on the ACPC (anterior commissure and posterior commissure) line, the ratio between the distance between the caudate heads (where they are closest) and the distance between inner table of the skull (measured along the same line as the intercaudate distance) is obtained.
The normal CC/IT ratio range 0.09 to 0.12. As the caudate heads reduce in size, the CC distance will increase and as such the CC/IT ratio will increase.
An alternative measurement is the frontal horn width to intercaudate distance ratio (FH/CC).

Washington: Good news for T-Mobile Galaxy S4 owners that the new Android 4.4.2 update will land on the devices today.
T-Mobile only recently started pushing out the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update to the Galaxy Note 3, and now the uncarrier is extending availability of the latest version of Android to the Galaxy S4.
The update is beginning to roll out over the air and through Samsung Kies with build number M919UVUFNB4, with the former sized at 388 MB.
Your phone will have to be on build M919UVUEMK2, the last Android 4.3 build, to be able to get the update; as always, the rollout will be staggered, so you might have to wait for a few days before the update shows up on your Galaxy S4.
The KitKat update brings improved stability, and major features include white status bar icons, improved performance, reduced memory usage, improvements to Samsung's onscreen keyboard in landscape mode, inbuilt wireless printing support, ability to select the default launcher and messaging app from the settings menu, a camera shortcut and full-screen album art on the lock screen, and new emojis.
You might also find that most apps are lesser access to the external storage than before, which is by Google's design and hence something you'll have to live with.

Glympse is a location sharing app that allows you to safely share your location with someone in real-time. This app was originally launched in Windows Phone Store in 2011 and last updated in 2014 with all new design and features. The app is also available for iOS and Android.
Surprisingly this niche app is still active, with one of the support team of the app on Facebook claiming a Universal version for Microsoft desktop, mobile and tablet will be released "in a few months."
The Glympse app is ideal for coordinate a night out with friends, let your spouse know when you'll be home from work, or making sure a loved one knows you are safe while running or cycling, but it is still a somewhat niche application, so its development for Windows is certainly welcome news.
Find the current version in the store here.

Two coal-fired plants in Virginia are now in the process of converting over to natural gas-powered units.
The Clinch River Power Plant near Carbo, VA, is more than 50 years old and was on the road to retirement before Appalachian Power officials decided to make the move to convert two of its three generating units to natural gas. The company retired the third unit.
Milwaukee Coal Plant Switching to Gas
3 More Coal Units Closing
KY Power Changing from Coal to Gas
MD Power Plants Plan to Stop Using Coal
Appalachian Power asked state regulators in Virginia and West Virginia for approval last spring, and it gained approval, said Jeff LaFleur, vice president of generating assets for the company.
"The gas pipeline contract has been awarded, and we've started procurement and final engineering of converting two of those units to natural gas," he said.
He said the two units will burn coal throughout the summer. Then, in the fall of 2015, one unit will go offline to begin the conversion process. The other unit will start the process in early 2016.
"By spring of 2016, we'll have two natural gas units," he said. "Right now, we don't have any holdups for that schedule."
That also means when those units convert, the company will have no more coal-burning power plants in Virginia, as other coal units owned by Appalachian Power are on the path to retirement by the end of this year. Aging plants and Environmental Protection Agency regulations contributed to the retirements, Appalachian Power officials said when they made the decision.
The conversion should cost $56 million and bring a few hundred temporary jobs to the area.
The conversion will also mean some layoffs, since not as many people need to run a gas plant compared to a coal facility, LaFleur said. The new plant will keep a staff of about 30-40 people, down from about 100 who work there now.
He said people had options to retire early and to bid on a move to another Appalachian Power plant elsewhere. Quite a few workers went to the Virginia City Hybrid Energy Center in St. Paul, VA, run by Dominion, LaFleur said.
"We will have fewer people, but don't think it will be a shock to the community," LaFleur said. "We're working hard to manage that process."
"Folks at Clinch River have done an excellent job," LaFleur said. "Their safety and environmental record is excellent. I can't say enough about the people at that plant."

"And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers."
King James Version (KJV)
2:42 And they continued steadfast - So their daily Church communion consisted in these four particulars: Hearing the word; Having all things common; Receiving the Lord's Supper; Prayer. Ye diff'rent sects, who all declare, Lo here is Christ, and Christ is there; Your stronger proofs divinely give, And show me where the Christians live!
Ac 2:42 They continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine. In the things taught by the apostles. And fellowship. Contribution to the common fund and its distribution. In the breaking of bread. The Lord's supper. From this time it is observed as an ordinance of the church. In prayers. I think the prayers of the regular worship are meant. These four items are all features of the public church life.

Charles' party looks like it's going to be a big one judging by the amount of food sitting around the appartment. This morning we put together maybe 100 kebabs and I shredded more greens than I'd normally see in a year. Once again I took the time to repack my stuff and try to lighten my load. Some of that effort was negated by the amount of food I'll be starting with. Thanks go out to Tania's uncle of Jack Links who sent me loads of beef jerky that I'll be chewing through on my way north. From now on I'm hoping to avoid carrying much more. I figure I have nibbles if I need them and everything else can be bought on the day.
Word of the day: jum-bi shi-mas = prepare

Is there anything better than chocolate and peanut butter? YES! Add some ginger, and you are in business, y'all!
I've been seeing photos all over the place of homemade peanut butter cups, and they've been making me so hungry! I wanted to make my own batch but mix things up a little bit, and then I remembered that I had some candied ginger left over from making that ginger trail mix. Ginger goes with pretty much anything in my estimation so I chopped some up and gave this a go!
Aside from making peanut butter cups with a twist, I wanted these to be easy. The recipes I was seeing all called for a double boiler, but let's be honest kids: how many of you have one of those? Even if you do, how likely are you to whip it out? This recipe melts the chips in the microwave, and I tried two different approaches, one of which was an utter failure. This recipe uses approach #2, which was messy, but worked beautifully!
Gingered Peanut Butter Cups
Ingredients and Supplies
- 1/4 cup candied ginger, chopped
- 1/2 cup unsweetened, natural peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
- microwave safe glass bowl
- mini (1 1/4″) cupcake liners
- Use a fork to mix ginger, peanut butter, coconut oil, and powdered sugar in a small bowl.
- Fill your cupcake liners halfway with the peanut butter mixture.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl at 50% power I the microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring in between rounds. The chocolate chips won't look like they are melting, and stirring will help you see when they're ready before you overdo it and burn them.
- Spoon the chocolate over the peanut butter, and set the cups in the fridge to chill for 2 hours. Pull the cups out for another hour or so before serving. Store them at room temperature.
