Elite levels of soccer are the perfect breeding ground for pressure. Players battle for spots on a roster or the starting line-up every time they come to training. Coaches demand a consistent high level of play from their players. There is often little room for error. This sport – like so many others – is so challenging and unpredictable at times that dealing with pressure becomes more the rule than the exception. It's a mistake for players to believe you can snap your fingers and make the pressure go away. However, young players can learn how to feed off competitive pressure, improve focus, and raise their game to a higher level.
Which is why – at the start of the Women's World Cup – I love this new commercial from Nike:
Here are some suggestions for successfully dealing with competitive pressure before and during performance:
Begin to see pressure as a privilege. The pressure of consistently performing well is the price of playing at such an elite level. Too many athletes are simply afraid of pressure-packed situations in games or' in training. The best players learn to view this pressure as their ally and not their enemy. They see pressure as a tool to push their play to a higher level.
Make pre-game butterflies fly in formation. A lot of players are affected by the pre-game jitters – the zooming heart rate, the butterflies in the gut, etc. This is the body's natural physiological (fight or flight) reaction to stress. The brain's job is to make meaning of these signals (which is usually, "you're nervous").
The trick to effectively dealing with this is to reinterpret what these physiological signals mean. This is your choice! Instead of thinking, "I'm nervous, I can't be nervous" when feel the butterflies, change the meaning of this signal to something helpful, such as "I'm ready!"
Focus on the Controllables. The "uncontrollables" as the biggest mental trap athletes fall into in pressure-packed situations. The "uncontrollables" are quite simply all the things in a performance that are directly out of your control (e.g., dealing with a teammate's mistakes, the play of your opponent, the crowd, the ref, etc). When a player focuses on the uncontrollables three things will consistently happen to him – First, he'll start to get anxious and physically tight. Second, his confidence will start to slide. Third, his performance will begin to suffer. What are the things we can control? Simple: Effort, attitude, and focus.
Choose to trust what you got. At the heart of playing with confidence in the face of pressure is trusting one's ability and performing/playing in the present moment. When pressure builds, our minds often become cluttered and we lose our focus. At that moment, we're usually focused on what just happened or what might (or might not) happen.
The key to being "in the moment" is shifting your mind from "thinking" to "trusting". Thinking too much can be a big problem – especially when spontaneous reactions allow you to perform your best.
"Don't think! Just Play!" is usually the advice athletes get when faced with pressure. While such advice isn't necessarily bad, many athletes struggle with simply cutting off their thoughts altogether. When you find yourself thinking too much, remember that the closest number to zero is one. If you can't cut off your thoughts altogether, choose one word or a short phrase that directs your focus and instructs your actions.
Effective "cue words," (such as "quick feet" for a goalkeeper defending a shot, or "first to the ball!" for a player defending a corner, or "what's important now?" for the forward that just missed a golden opportunity to score) capture what you're trying to accomplish and help you stay focused on the task at hand.

Jamie Oliver's Jools Pasta
So I am continuing my series of making Jamie Oliver's 30 minute meals, today was Jools Pasta. It's a meal Jamie originally made for his wife when pregnant, she wanted a traditional slow cooked ragú in the space of few minutes rather than waiting hours, Jamie came up with this tasty meal. I made it for Joanne's family and they absolutely loved it which made me happy.
Cooking Time: 10-15 minutes
You will need
4 spring onions
1 carrot
1 stick of celery
1-2 fresh red chillies
1 x 6-pack of good-quality sausages (approx. 400g)
1 heaped tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp dried oregano
500g dried penne
4 cloves of garlic
4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 x 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
A few sprigs of Greek basil, or regular basil
1. Get all your ingredients and equipment ready. Turn your oven to 190°C/375°F/gas mark 5. Fill and boil the kettle. Put a large frying pan on a high heat. Put the standard blade attachment into the food processor.
2. Trim the spring onions, carrot and celery. Roughly chop all the vegetables, then blitz in the food processor with the chillies (stalks removed). Add the sausages, a heaped teaspoon of fennel seeds and one teaspoon of oregano. Keep pulsing until well mixed, then spoon this mixture into the hot frying pan with a lug of olive oil, breaking it up and stirring as you go. Keep checking on it and stirring while you get on with other jobs.
3. Put a large deep saucepan on a low heat and fill with boiled water. Fill and re-boil the kettle. Top up the saucepan with more boiled water if needed. Season well, then add the penne and cook according to packet instructions, with the lid askew. Drain the pasta, reserving about a wine glass worth of the cooking water.
4. Crush the cloves of garlic into the sausage mixture and stir in the balsamic vinegar and tinned tomatoes. Add a little of the starchy cooking water from the pasta to loosen if needed.
5. Tip the pasta into the pan of sauce and give it a gentle stir, adding enough of the cooking water to bring it to a silky consistency. Taste, correct the seasoning, then tip into a large serving bowl and take straight to the table with the rest of the Parmesan for grating over. Scatter over a few basil leaves.
Hope you enjoy it!

How to Install the Trim for a Steel Roof
Steel roofs offer many advantages to homeowners, including longevity, resistance to mold and rotting, as well as easy maintenance. Steel is also recyclable, which makes it a sustainable building material. Steel roofing panels may have either hidden or visible fasteners, depending on the construction design. Do-it-yourselfers can save money by installing steel panels themselves, including the steel trim that is an important feature of the roof system. Trim may be installed at the ridges of the roof line, at valley points where two sections meet or at the lowest edge of the roof.
Step 1
Attach the drip edge trim recommended by the roofing manufacturer along the gutter line edge of the roof with screws and neoprene washers to prevent leakage from fastener holes. Ensure that any underlying roofing material, such as existing shingles, are covered so that the new edge allows rainwater to drip directly into the gutter.
Step 2
Lay in flashing for roof valleys where two roof surfaces meet and secure the piece on both sides with screws and neoprene washers as recommended in the manufacturer's instruction manual. Apply butyl sealer tape to the edges to provide a tight fit.
Step 3
Install 4-by-6 inch rake trim along the gables of the house -- the raised edge of the roof line, not the lower gutter line. Insert screws at regular intervals at the top and sides spaced 24 inches apart.
Step 4
Attach the ridge cap to the peak of the roof line, according to the manufacturer's directions. Generally, you must align the underlying steel sheets and fit the cap onto the peak. Insert screws with neoprene washers at every rib.
Step 5
Cut the ends of the ridge cap and turn down the edges with a pair of pliers, after installation, to create a neat, finished look for the roof line.
Step 6
Install transition trim at points where vertical wall surfaces meet the roof surface, such as the second story of the house or where the chimney meets the roof. Secure the trim with screws and neoprene washers.
Things You Will Need
- Ladder
- Drip edge trim
- Roofing screws
- Power screwdriver
- Neoprene washers
- Flashing
- Butyl sealant tape
- 4-by-6 inch rake trim
- Ridge cap
- Metal shears
- Pliers
- Work gloves
- When installing the rake/gable trim, have an assistant look at the trim from ground level to ensure that it is properly placed flush against the roof surface, according to writer Norman Bennett of the Backwoods Home website.
- Remove small filings before inserting the screws into the metal from the roof surface. These small pieces can cause rust spots on the roofing material.
- Steel roof trim parts may have sharp edges that can cause injury. Wear heavy gloves when installing these parts.
- Avoid installing panels or trim in windy conditions, which can cause flat steel sections to become airborne.

Restoring for water – the basis to address forest restoration
In the first blog post of the Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) Snapshot Series we will focus on the project Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative of the Kiuñalla Community, in the Apurimac Region. Located in the southern Andes of Peru, this region has been one of the first in initiating actions within the framework of the country's commitment to the Bonn Challenge to restore 3.2 million hectares of degraded areas through plantations for commercial purposes as well as for the recovery of ecosystem functions.Read more…
IUFRO 125th Anniversary Congress Spotlight #51 – Pooling resources to meet sub-Saharan forest challenges
Collaboration and cooperation are the keys to facilitating learning and making better use of research outcomes in sub-Saharan African countries facing severe forestry challenges.
That's the philosophy behind Dr. Joseph Cobbinah's upcoming session on the impact of forestry research on policy, livelihoods and economic development in sub-Saharan Africa. The session will take place at the IUFRO 125th Congress in Freiburg in September. Read more…
IUFRO Spotlight #44 – Evidence linking community forest rights and improved forest condition inconclusive
There is an assumption that there is a correlation, possibly even a direct cause and effect relationship, between the devolution of forest governance and improved forest condition.
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) was interested in testing that hypothesis to assess its impact on global climate change mitigation and adaptation.
To that end, a group of researchers at Michigan State University was tasked with reviewing, summarizing and commenting on the empirical evidence supporting that conclusion.
In their review of the literature, they found the assumption deserves, at best, a "maybe." Read more…
Congress Spotlight #17 – Forest outlook: What does the future hold?
Forest outlook: What does the future hold?
Forest researchers from around the world will gather at the IUFRO 24th World Congress in Salt Lake City this fall where one of the issues will be to address the future, and the related challenges, facing forests and forest management in the 21st century.
Providing a sort of scientific crystal ball to give glimpses into the years ahead and discuss how to meet and adapt to coming challenges will be a sub-plenary session at the congress entitled, appropriately enough, "The Future of Our Forests".
Resources for the Future (http://www.iufro.org/science/task-forces/resources-for-future/), the IUFRO Task Force behind this session, has set out to examine four major game-changers – globalization, plantations, new products and forest ecosystem services – and what they mean, and will mean, for forests, forest research and forest-dependent communities.

The requirement for a second assessment to confirm initial tumour response is required by all response guidelines. Its rationale, however, is not clear. We have conducted this study to compare validity of response rate assessment determined with and without secondary confirmation.
Using specified criteria, nine trials of one single cytotoxic drug including 416 patients were selected from a pharmaceutical database. Objective response rates were determined by a single determination and by two separate determinations. 81 responses (19.5%, [15.8-23.6%]) were scored by the confirmation method and 97 responses (23.3% [19.3-27.7%]) by the no-confirmation method. The Kappa (kappa) coefficient of 0.89 indicates good agreement between both methods. This is the first study that systematically compares response rates calculated with and without performing response confirmation. Results show good agreement between both methods.
We suggest that assessing response without confirmation may be the preferred method. These results should be confirmed by additional studies in a variety of cancer settings.

On November 4, 1992, at 4:30 p.m., Technician Wohlers contacted a vehicle with two juvenile occupants for a traffic violation one mile east of Georgetown on Interstate 70. After calling for assistance, Technician Wohlers was shot in the head by one of the juveniles. The suspects fled before backup could arrive. At 7:00 p.m., the two juvenile suspects were arrested as they traveled from Georgetown to Denver. The car was later determined to be stolen. The juveniles were tried as adults and convicted. The suspect who pulled the trigger was sentenced to life in prison. His accomplice was sentenced to 32 years. Technician Wohlers succumbed to his injuries on November 5, 1992.
Due to a statute change, the suspect sentenced to life in prison is now currently scheduled for a parole hearing, beginning September 25, 2017. While attendance at the hearing is limited, anyone wishing to write a letter to the court is encouraged to do so by September 15, 2017. Please see the information provided by Technician Wohlers' wife, Julie, who is also a proud, long-standing member of the Foundation's Board of Trustees.

At the beginning of the year at the Quay Quilter's AGM, our president April set the members a challenge. A small 15 inch wall hanging with the theme of 'STARS'. The plan was to hang all the stars quiltlets at our exhibition. We were all given the black background fabric and the instructions on how to finish our quiltlet.
As a last minute girl and our exhibition is only a few days away, I kept my stars very simple. Machine quilted using Rayon threads. Members were encouraged to interpret the theme anyway they wished.
I will post a picture of all the stars hanging together later in the week.

Hampton Court Palace
It was another hot summer day today. My mother and I had a lovely walk around the Hampton Court Palace gardens.
The main entrance to the palace.
The formal gardens at the back of the palace.
I took my mother to the quilt show to see my quilt. She knows that I sew and a quilter but the quilts at the show just 'blow her away'.

National Quilt Championships Sandown Park
I drove up to Surrey yesterday to visit my family. This weekend is also the National Quilt Championships at Sandown Park What is Sandown Park? It is a national race course. From the stands you can see the roof of Hampton Court Palace and beyond to London.
I have never visited the quilt show at Sandown before so did not know what to expect. I was surprised as the quilts were nicely displayed and the traders had plenty of spaced to move to view their products. There was lots of places to sit and rest. All the doors were open to allow visitors to sit on the stands, lovely to sit and have lunch. A very large restaurant area and several to food vendors, from drinks and a quick snack to hot meals.
It was a very hot day today but with the tiled floor and doors open make the hall cool enough to view the quilts and shop. This is the best grosvenor show I have visited. Why have I not been before especially as my family live less than five miles away?
I entered my quilt called The Alameda Gardens to the National Quilt Championships. Although I made this quilt some years ago I have never entered it into a national quilt show. Without our quilts there is no show. Grosvenor Show Ltd were very helpful and every quilter that enters a quilt get a free ticket to the show.

Jamie Malden from Colouricious has been in Devon this weekend. Jamie gave a wonderful talk yesterday at the Quilter's Guild day in Exeter. She told us how and why she started her company Colouricious. We learnt about the history of block printing and how to use the blocks. She had boxes of finished items she had made with her fabrics. She is so inspiring.
Then she came to teach a block printing workshop at Exe Valley CQ today. What a delightful time we all had messing about with fabric paint and wooden blocks. It was my kind of heaven. I have met Jamie many times at national quilt shows and purchased
hundreds a few printing blocks! I received her weekly Colouricious newsletter every Monday morning. Jamie has made many 'you tube' tutorials.
Thank you Jamie for a wonderful weekend.

Work in Progress
I have been working on some new workshop samples that I will be teaching next month. I cannot show you the projects until I have taught the workshops.
I have been layering up some previous workshop samples ready for quilting. When I teach I always have several finish samples and some 'blue peter' samples.
The first photo is a disappearing nine patch cot quilt top made using only three fabric for the blocks.
I have been layering up some previous workshop samples ready for quilting. When I teach I always have several finish samples and some 'blue peter' samples.
The first photo is a disappearing nine patch cot quilt top made using only three fabric for the blocks.
The second photo is a simple large block quilt top using one pattern fabric and plain fabrics for for blocks and borders.
I have tried several methods for layering up my quilt tops from using curved pins, large stitch tacking with thread to using tiny plastic tacks over the years. The method I use now is spray glue 505. I lightly spray the wadding and apply the backing. Then I spray the front of the wadding and apply the quilt top. I use a large ruler to make sure that my blocks and borders are straight. Always spray in a well ventilated room. I can layer up several large quilt top or lots of small project with one small can of 505 spray. If you can feel the glue on the wadding you have too much glue, spray very lightly.
I love this method because the layers do not move as I machine quilt. I always put a new needle in my sewing machine at the start of a new project and replace it after only eight to ten hours of sewing. This is really important. A new needle is the cheapest part of your sewing machine and can cause the most damage if neglected.I will leave these quilts hanging over the back of the sofa until I get time to quilt them, which will be after the exhibitions and my holiday.

Birthday Quilt
My Baby Girl asked me to help her make two small quilts for birthday gifts for two of her dear friends. She chose seven fabrics for each quilt. Using the Accuquilt Go she cut 6 1/2 inch squares. The size of each piece of fabric dictated how many squares were cut.
She arranged them in a pleasing order and stitched them into rows using a quarter inch foot on her sewing machine. As this was a quick project, she added no borders. Straight line quilted a half inch from each seam using a walking foot.
Mitred binding using a binding tool were added to finish the quilts.
I can only show Stevie's quilt today as it was her birthday yesterday. Happy Birthday Stevie.

We're each born with one of four temperaments, says Hypocrites.
Melancholic temperaments are genius prone, idealistic, and deeply sympathetic. They're able to solve the most complex problems, initiate the most analytical thoughts, and create masterpiece works of art.
But all those Godsends come with a price. Perfectionism makes melancholics prone to despair because they seek heaven and this physical work constantly falls short.
Why would they be blessed only to be cursed? They're not cursed, balance is the key to wellness! If the scales are tipped heavily in one direction, they need a harmonizing factor. We melancholics are perfectly designed this way!
After all, the greatest spiritual leaders and works of art have been born precisely because of deep despair.

Boy is on mission to help younger brother with cerebral palsy
8th-graders team up to raise awareness on cerebral palsy
TEMPERANCE, Mich. – "I wrestle, so I know what it is to work hard," said 8th-grader Hunter Gandee. "But it's nowhere near what he has to do every day."
Hunter is talking about his 7-year-old brother, Braden, who has cerebral palsy. The disorder makes simple things, such as walking, very difficult.
"He can't do everything I can do, so I have to do it for him," Hunter said.
Hunter is always there to help out his little brother whenever he can.
"Hunter is strong enough still to pick him up," said their mother, Danielle. "So, he helps us out a lot because Braden is getting bigger."
Recently, Hunter came up with an idea to help in a bigger way.
"I wanted to raise money, but that wasn't the biggest goal," he said. "The biggest goal was to get the word out and inform people."
Hunter and fellow student council members at Bedford Junior High School in Temperance, Mich. accomplished that by making bracelets that read "Cerebral Palsy Awareness." They sold them for $1 each and donated the proceeds to Cerebral Palsy research at the University of Michigan.
"There are kids who are struggling [with Cerebral Palsy] working their hardest every day," he said. "If we all help a little bit, there's a lot of help we can give."
Braden even gave the bracelets away at his elementary school.
"Many people ask why I have a walker, I want them to know why," Braden said. "I want people to know; I don't have broken legs or anything like that."
Braden's older brother said the bracelets are just the beginning. He hopes to one day become a researcher to help everyone with the disorder. For now, he's focused on his little brother and making his life easier whenever he can.
"He's the greatest brother, I love him," Hunter said.

Damn, this is just a might bit cold, don't you think?
Florida coach Urban Meyer talked for a long time about changing the culture when he took over the program in 2005 but has never offered many specifics. On Friday, he revealed what one of those changes was, as far as the locker room environment.
Asked a general question about how he handles players having arguments on the field and in the locker room, Meyer — who did not take a swipe at former coach Ron Zook (now at Illinois) or mention him outright — started discussing the 2005 atmosphere that he inherited at Florida.
He said freshmen were put in a separate locker room and treated harshly by the other players. When he realized how poorly the new players were treated, he put an end to it.
Meyer's comments were chilling.
"When we first got here five years ago they had freshmen in a separate locker room and it was a bunch of tin lockers over there and they weren't allowed to walk (into the regular locker room). Think about this for a minute: this is a big-time college football program and we had some fights because they treat their freshman like they were non-people.
"'Don't walk through here, we'll kick your tail, we'll shave your eyebrows.' It took us awhile to break that great culture we had here. That was tremendous. You don't win many games, but you beat up freshman and shave eyebrows. Absolutely unbelievable…"
Who is this "they" you speak of, Corch, if you're not taking a swipe at the Zooker? Is it the same folks who left you with enough in the cupboard to win a BCS title game two seasons ago?
What's truly obnoxious about this is why Meyer even feels the need to bring this up now, given where the program is at. As the Zooker puts it,
"I've been gone a long time. I doubt if anybody there even remembers who I am."

NYLT is an intense, 6 day, outpost adventure outdoor leadership training experience for youth troop leaders. The course goal is to prepare young men to become superior leaders in their units, their district and other organizations they belong to now and in the future.
Participants learn to use current corporate leadership skills within the framework of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. BSA National carefully developed the NYLT curriculum with input from current corporate trainers, the United States Air Force Academy and others in the training community. Graduates of this program become Senior Patrol Leaders in their Troops as well as leaders in their Districts, Schools, Churches, and Communities. The course is led and taught by some of the best youth leaders in the Council; all of whom are graduates of the NYLT program and many have staffed multiple courses.
Excerpts from the Course Overview
National Youth Leadership Training is an exciting, action-packed program designed to provide youth members of the Boy Scouts of America with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home troops and in other situations demanding leadership of self and others.
For many years, junior leader training (JLT) was an important part of the leadership training continuum of BSA local councils throughout America. In 2003 and 2004, a task force of leadership experts and hundreds of Scouts in pilot courses across the nation reviewed and tested every aspect of the new NYLT syllabus, which incorporates the latest leadership ideas and presents fresh, vital, and meaningful training for today's Scouts.
Several issues spurred the change of the JLT name to correspond with the updated course content. Among them was the desire to make clear that this is a national course. Also, studies have told us that our membership would prefer to be referred to as youth rather that junior, so the name became clear – National Youth Leadership Training.
The NYLT course centers around the concepts of what a leader must BE, what he must KNOW, and what he must DO. The key elements are then taught with a clear focus on HOW TO. The skills come alive during the week as the patrol goes on a Quest for the Meaning of Leadership.
The skills of visualizing success, setting goals to accomplish that vision, and developing a plan to get there are core to the leader's role. Other key course elements include leading yourself, communicating, developing a team, applying a leadership style that fits the team's stage of development, and teaching skills to others. Sessions on problem solving, making ethical decisions, and valuing people are added as elements of a leader's toolbox.
Built on the legacy of past JLT successes, the new NYLT syllabus integrates the best of modern leadership theory with the traditional strengths of the Scouting experience. Through activities, presentations, challenges, discussions, and audiovisual support, NYLT participants will be engaged in a unified approach to leadership that will give them the skills and confidence to lead well. Through a wide range of activities, events, games, and adventures, NYLT participants will work and play together as they put into action the best that Scouting has to offer.
NYLT participants discover that leading themselves and leading others requires a vision – a picture of future success. Each patrol will develop a team vision for the course, and each individual will prepare his own vision. A constant refrain of NYLT is "if you can see it, you can be it." Through presentation and positive experiences in goal setting, planning, and problem solving, participant learn how to set a clear course toward realizing their team and individual visions, and then how to put themselves in the center of those pictures of future success.
The youth and adult staff member of a NYLT course are charged with providing participants with the best possible opportunity to learn effective leadership skills in a setting where the highest ideals of Scouting shine through. Essential to that effort is the fact that staff members use NYLT leadership skills and philosophies themselves, which provides them with an extremely effective means of sharing skills and leading teams. It also models the skills and leadership ideals that the NYLT Program seeks to convey.
Every NYLT course operates according to the principles of the Scout Oath and Law. Each participant and staff member is welcomed, appreciated, and valued. There is no room for hazing or for any activities that do not add to a positive learning experience for everyone.
Leadership, fun, challenge, adventure – NYLT offers all of those and much more. The NYLT program can be a centerpiece of a council's youth training opportunities, providing local troops with outstanding youth leaders and giving those Scouts the tools and leadership ideals that will serve them well in whatever they do.

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has urged the Nigerian Army authorities to produce its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, wondering why Army invaded Kanu's home on September 14, 2017, and still denying his whereabouts.
IPOB alleged that every right-thinking person knows that the Army went to kill Kanu in September 2017 because, there can never be any other plausible explanation as to why the army would truncate an ongoing judicial process by doing the work of the police.
A statement by the Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Emma Powerful, said that those that find it difficult to believe that the leadership of IPOB does not know where its leader is, were the same people that feigned ignorance of the fact that the Army invaded his residence.
The statement read, "This same class of people are those that will always keep quiet in the face of evil, thereby emboldening this barbaric regime to be more brutal, dictatorial and parochial. The question all right thinking people should ask the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) is this; is it the duty of the army to be running round in armored tanks looking for the enemies of Buhari to arrest? ".
"Nigerian Army, for those who might still be feigning ignorance of the fact, does not have the constitutional right to arrest anybody. Whenever soldiers arrest and molest people, as they normally do in Nigeria, they are breaking the law. That is what the 1999 Constitution says. But in Nigeria, law enforcement agencies and even the law courts don't know what the constitution says".
"They are ignorant of their own laws including their judges in their courts. Those that invaded our leader's residence went there to kill him and his family and parents, or else they would have waited for him to appear in court on the 17th of October 2017. Buratai and his army are in the best position to answer any question regarding the whereabouts of our leader, especially at this time everybody, including non Biafrans, are missing his inspirational leadership".
"But the truth remains that IPOB is more formidable now than ever. Despite the draconian and brutal crackdown on us, we have continued to hold rallies and protests. New IPOB family units are springing up all over the world. We successfully rallied in Onitsha before the successful boycott of Anambra Governorship election".
"We also rallied in Aba on 20 January 2O18 in remembrance of those killed last year during President Trump's inauguration rally in Igweocha. Indiscriminate arrest, illegal detention and harassment of IPOB members have continued unabated. We stopped the treacherous Ohaneze Ndigbo leadership led my Nnia Nwodo in Lagos and also at Enugu during the 'Handshake across the Niger' event".
"Because of IPOB activities, Ohaneze Ndigbo leadership have been exposed to the world for the Hausa Fulani agents and slaves they are. Nobody born of a woman can weaken IPOB," Powerful stated.

I'm alive!
This was it. The big kahuna of hikes, the longest and hardest thing I've ever done.
Dad and I drove up to Yosemite on Wednesday night. With the late start and some traffic, it was pitch black by the time we hit the Manteca area. Safe to say that driving down into Yosemite Valley was a challenge. On the plus side, we didn't have to pay the entrance fees because the Ranger stations were closed. We stayed at the Yosemite Valley Lodge inside the park – sufficient and clean, with good hot water (so important), but also pretty warm and stuffy. You definitely pay for the convenience, that's for sure. Worth it though, to only have to drive 5-10 minutes to get back to your hotel room. For us, it cost around $250+ per night, but we were lucky and got a 2nd floor room with high ceilings.
We hit the trail around 5:30AM the next morning, after maybe 3-4 hours of sleep. We were pretty zombified. The first several miles passed in a haze, because I don't remember climbing up so far in the dark. But being able to reach the views around sunrise was wonderful – the pit stop at Nevada Falls was my absolute favorite part of the hike. The waterfalls, the rocks, the colors – certainly happiness-inducing. More details and learnings below.
The Route
We took the John Muir trail both ways. It's supposed to be less steep and less dangerous slippery than the Mist trail, but I don't know that this was the best idea, because the distance was such a struggle. Dad's GPS showed a 20+ mile round trip, contrary to what the Internet blogs say. In my head, the trip is divided into a few parts:
- Uphill on a paved path – easiest part to traverse, but fairly steep for a mile or two.
- Huge switchbacks – fairly steep, lots of rocks to step through.
- Nevada Falls – around the 4 mile mark, perfect for a break and water refill.
- Pine trees/forest – flats through the valley after the falls, then steep uphill through forested area toward the Subdome. This was probably the hardest part.
- Subdome – pure rock, with stones for stairs. Definitely on the more dangerous side.
- Cables/half dome – pretty self-explanatory.
I bought these REI hiking tights a few days ago. They're a little too big for me (I bought size S and usually wear size S in Adidas/Nike), but they did just nicely on the hike. As someone who doesn't like wearing hiking pants, these worked just fine. The best part were the deep pockets on both thighs. My phone went in one with easy access the entire time.
Sock liners are your friend. I've never double-socked anything for any hike in my life, but this method saved my skin literally. No blisters, not even a hot spot. I wore these REI liners, and then pulled on a pair of Darn Tough merino socks over them.
Everything else was your normal athletic wear: Express run tank, random sports bra, and a North Face zip pullover for the morning chill.
These Ahnu Sugarpine boots were the best. I only broke them in once on a 10-mile hike to Tomales Point, and they performed wonderfully. Tons of grip from the Vibram soles, and they did just fine on the smooth granite along the cables. I normally wear size 7.5 and have a 8.5 in these to accommodate the thick socks.
I had hiking poles on this trip, but I probably only used them 1/3 of the time. Just a personal preference, though they did help a lot in some spots. I just felt more cumbersome with them more often than not. They certainly helped on the downhill though, for stability and balance.
I carried this Camelbak with a 2L reservoir. At 18L, it was a teeny bit small but Dad carried this 32L Kelty Redwing and anything extra we needed, including the water filter.
Also, this Nike hat. Saved my face, along with this sunscreen.
Definitely needed at least a 2-3L reservoir for hands-free hydration. I also carried a 24oz metal water bottle as backup, which helped a ton. For food, we brought a sandwich for lunch at the top of the dome. I also carried a couple Kind bars, and a couple of those almond butter sandwich biscuits. Electrolyte gel packs and gummy chews are also your friend. They certainly helped as far as preventing cramps and the like.
The Cables
Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying. But you're also so tired that adrenaline just pushes you through and you don't really have a chance to think too much beyond making it to the next set of poles/planks for a rest. Like everyone else says, gloves are so important. Unfortunately, I was wearing leather gardening gloves and these were not the best choice. They actually slipped a lot on the metal cables, which also led to a couple scary moments. The rock was very, very steep about midway up, and at one point I started getting tired. Mind over matter is definitely a thing, and I powered through to the top. Also randomly passed some guys from UCSD BTEC days on their way down – of all the places, ha.
All in all, super proud of ourselves. It was all kinds of exhausting, exhilarating, and insane scary. It was quite hazy and ashy due to forest fires in the region, which was a bummer for the views at the top. We also saw all a manner of wildlife, including a mummy deer and her two baby deers, squirrels, fat chipmunks, and even a bear on the trail! The trip back was probably the longest return hikes I've ever experienced. You definitely need stamina to make it back down to the valley. I also busted my hip flexor muscles on the way up, so coming down was a super struggle for me personally. I pretty much limped my way down at least 8 miles. Three days later, I'm still quite sore.
Cheers to adventures and family time. Gods know we need it more than ever.

Special Affairs Team TEN 2 - The Tape Murder Arch (Analysis)
Warning: If you have not yet seen TEN2, don't read this post. It contains major *SPOILERS*!
With Episode 2 of TEN2, the Green Duct Tape Murder-arch has come to a (temporary) end. 'Temporary' because we know that the real F is still out there - but 'end' because Yeo Ji-hoon's nemesis is behind bars, and Ji-hoon has decided to 'move on'. But also 'temporary' because this moving on will not be easy for our sheksi detective, that much is already clear from episodes 3 and 4. And 'temporary' because the real F could strike again any time ... (and probably will?).
Still, this temporary end invites some rumination - and ruminate I shall!
Cause to ruminate I like!
What I value most about the TEN series is that the show does not waste a single character. All of them are multi-dimensional and have dark-spots or things in their lives that are difficult, to say the least. That makes all of them so very human; and that also makes it so much more natural to care for these characters and their well-being (in comparison to other KDramas).
That said, the most important, most complex, most screwed-up, and most intriguing character has always been our lead man: Yeo Ji-hoon. Throughout the series, we have been given many hints about his corrupted soul. We knew about his unhealthy obsession with the F-cases. We knew about the tragedy of being implicated in the murder of his fiancee. And we were tempted to think more than once that he has turned into the very thing he is hunting several times, too. It is of course a relief to know that has has not - but he is also far, far from clean. There is a lot of dirt (and blood) on his hands and he has used every single person around him to the max. Does he care about any of them at all?
We got a few glimpses of something human underneath the calculating and dehumanized exterior of his - most of them in flashbacks to a time when he still was human and able to love. I don't see much of that side of him in Episodes 1 and 2 of TEN2. At the beginning, when the team faces their double decapitation (boss in hiding and no longer the official TEN team), they begin to wonder why they have been made part of all this. The show exposes them to be mere puppets of Yeo Ji-hoon, who meticulously orchestrates all of them at his will, even from afar. He never cared about the TEN cases. No, the TEN cases are a means to an end; the end being to catch the person who killed his fiancee, whatever it takes.
So, why does he choose them? The show gives us a few pointers. Most obviously, they are all connected to that one F-case (and I guess the show implies that Ji-hoon knew that). And I think all three of them together are needed to make his plan work: the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Apart from that, Do-shik is a deadly detective with an eerie talent to solve difficult cases (which gives him his nickname 'White Venomous Snake' or 'Viper'). He is also impulsive, even choleric: and it is possible that Ji-hoon is relying on that to set things in motion. Min-ho, as he says himself, knows all there is to know about Ji-hoon: especially his psychiatric history. He therefore knows (even in times of maximum doubt) that Ji-hoon did not kill his own fiancee. I am guessing, though, that this is not all that makes Min-ho part of the TEN-team - Min-ho also has that specific instinct a good detective needs (or it may be a cow's reversed luck - but that's better than nothing!); and it seems to me that Ji-hoon sees a little bit of himself in this kid. At least when he is not duct-taping him! Finally, Ye-ri has the ability to see immediately if someone is lying (a gift which brings her much, much grief); and she has enormous talent in "reading" people, even if they are dead.
Yeo Ji-hoon, the puppeteer, gambles really high. And by jeopardizing the lives around him repeatedly, he appears rotten to the core, a Devil indeed (another chapter heading). But he does not take the final step, which would have taken him beyond redemption. The scenes on the bridge at the end of Episode 2 are the key to understanding why there is hope yet for this character and his sins. Kyung-tae, the fake F, leads him to a dead end. There is no going back from that point. And there is something eerily beautiful to this scene: the yellow tape that signals the end of the road and the setting sun, the oncoming twilight.
Kyung-tae taunts him and teases him, willing him to kill. And at the same time, Kyung-tae tempts him to kill himself. Not necessarily for real (even though he mocks him with the finger gun to the temple), but he tells him that killing him (Kyung-tae) would mean killing himself (Ji-hoon). Nothing would be left of someone who only lived for revenge one this revenge is fulfilled. Here, the show obviously plays with the notion of alter-ego. Kill me and you kill yourself is the message. Are we not the same, Kyung-tae asks. Look at us! Both desperate, crazy people, ready to do anything for what they consider justice, turned into monsters - devils - by grief.
But first, I think he should really work on this people skills.
So, finally: Is everything about this show logical? Oh no, of course it is not. I have quite a few open questions / uncertainties I'm puzzled about (and a few loose ends):
a) When exactly did Ji-hoon switch from the one that chases to the one that is chased? Kim Min-hee's suicide provided a great opportunity for a plan that could only work after throwing baits to (not-)F for quite a while (like being seen with Ye-ri). How did this work exactly? Ji-hoon staged Min-hee's death like an F-case (in order to draw not-F out? And did he know that there are two Fs?). He then made sure he was identified as the killer (to make not-F think he was the killer? Or for his team to set all things in motion and investigate?). He needed Ye-ri in the path of the killer, assuming (not-)F would go after his current girl. Kyung-tae on the other hand must have assumed Ji-hoon would come after his girl for him to actually take her to the warehouse. Why did Kyung-tae bolt, though? I'm guessing because Do-shik and Min-ho arrived?
b) Where was the real "F" when Ji-hoon tried to lure him to the hotel and Kyung-tae killed Hee-joo? Also at that hotel? Or did he not make a move at all? Him being a policeman is still the only lead we have ... but is it possible Ji-hoon knows more about him (assuming he has found out that there are two Fs) but simply does not care (since he only ever was interested in his fiancee's murderer)?
Good night, chingus! Stay tuned for the recap of episode 3!

Since the first lecture, I've been churning that introductory excerpt from A Passage to India over in my mind. I thought it curious that the reader is introduced in such an apathetic, even disinterested manner, to a place that should be (given the period) and usually is made extremely exotic.
I'm starting to think that perhaps it is a technique Forster uses to gain the reader's sympathy for the land, the physical space and its contents (terrain and local people). In predisposing the reader to sympathizing with the people–Aziz–even in the introduction to Aziz as a character, one reacts as he does to the foreign British.
Perhaps it is romantic of me, but the way in which Forster sets up Chandrapore and characterizes Aziz seems to use a sort of reverse psychology, endearing the entirely un-interesting Chandrapore to the reader as if from the eyes of a local who sees flaws and treasures in the same glance, equally and indifferently. Aziz on the other hand, pulls a similar trick by presenting himself as a well-natured, good-hearted man when he visits his friend; highlights the previous impression of Chandrapore by admiring the beauty of his favorite mosque; but gives a strange second impression when he flares up at Mrs. Moore. His redemption occurs when the reader realizes that he does it out of love for his faith and place of worship and he is readily willing to admit error and make peace with Mrs. Moore.
The interactions with the British in Chandrapore are made more real and the tensions between Aziz and Adela are emphasized by the sympathy and empathy the reader has for Aziz and Chandrapore over the foreigners.

They were my favorites. Absolutely delicious!.
At some point they stopped making them and Crunchits became Chettos. My wife says I was dreaming or making it up, but I remember.
I'm hoping one day they'll bring them back!
The other night, while on a 15 minute coffee break, I spied Flamin' Hot Cheetos at the Orange Store on Water Street. They looked red, so I thought that at long last, BBQ Crunchits were back.
These zesty cheesy snacks were not what I was hoping. They were reddish but lacked the sweet smokey taste of the BBQ Crunchits. My anticipated Déjà vu experience was not met
Flamin' Hot Cheetos are the latest extreme flavor to hit the market. They are making waves because the excessive amounts of red and orange food dye is changing the color of childrens poop. Parents have been inundating emergency rooms mistaking red coloring in their stool for blood.
Apparently, some nutritionists are also concerned because the snack has been engineered to be "hyper-palatable". Apparently, the combination of spiciness, salt and crunchit could prove hard for some to resist.
Ashley Gearhardt, MS, MPhil, a clinical psychology professor at University of Michigan told the Chicago Tribune says the treats are addictive, ""It's something that has been engineered so that it is fattier and saltier and more novel to the point where our body, brain and pleasure centers react to it more strongly than if we were eating, say, a handful of nuts,"
I think the original BBQ Crunchits might have been pulled because of the red dye.

The New York Times Goes Full "Fake News"
Francis Menton –
It seems just days ago that the New York Times was all worked up over the threat of "fake news," and particularly how some fake stories may have helped swing the recent election to Trump. For example, just before the election on November 6, the big headline was "Media's Next Challenge: Overcoming the Threat of Fake News." On November 20 there was a deep analysis of the nefarious processes by which "fake news" gets wide dissemination, "How Fake News Goes Viral: A Case Study." And on the same day, an anguished call for the proprietors of Facebook to crack down on the use of their platform for spreading fake information: "Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook Must Defend the Truth." Looking at these and many other such stories, you might even get the idea that Pravda might care a little about having the news be real, as opposed to maybe only caring about getting its preferred candidate elected.
Before you get too far believing something so ridiculous, you will really need to check out today's effort. In a paper that is six columns in width, five of them across the top of the front page are occupied by a picture of some migrants in a pick-up truck heading out across the Sahel in Niger toward Libya and, they hope, on to Europe. Immediately underneath, a three-column-wide story is covered by the big headline of the day, "Escaping Drought and War on a 'Road on Fire.'" The story continues on to the entirety of pages A10 and A11 in the interior of the paper. This is the story of seemingly an entire generation of young men in West Africa picking up and heading north in search of a better life.
Oh, the sub-headline of the article is "Carbon's Casualties." The article is part of the Times's series of gigantic articles on what are supposedly the terrible effects of "climate change."
[P]eel back the layers of their stories and you find a complex bundle of trouble and want that prompts the men and boys of West Africa to leave home, endure beatings and bribes, board a smuggler's pickup truck and try to make a living far, far away. They do it because the rains have become so fickle, the days measurably hotter, the droughts more frequent and more fierce, making it impossible to grow enough food on their land. . . . This journey has become a rite of passage for West Africans of his generation. The slow burn of climate change makes subsistence farming, already risky business in a hot, arid region, even more of a gamble.
So — what is the source of this information that "droughts [have become] more frequent and more fierce," making it "impossible to grow enough food" in the Sahel region? You won't find it in this article. Try to confirm that information elsewhere, and you will find exactly the opposite:
From Reuters, June 1, 2015, citing a study in Nature Climate Change (no climate change skeptics!):
Rising greenhouse gases have boosted rainfall in the Sahel region of Africa, easing droughts that killed 100,000 people in the 1970s and 1980s, in a rare positive effect of climate change, a study said on Monday. . . . "Amounts of rainfall have recovered substantially," said Rowan Sutton, a professor at the National Centre for Atmospheric Science at Britain's Reading University and co-author of the study in the journal Nature Climate Change.
Or this from a report by Philipp Mueller for the Global Warming Policy Foundation:
The Sahara is actually shrinking, with vegetation arising on land where there was nothing but sand and rocks before. The southern border of the Sahara has been retreating since the early 1980s, making farming viable again in what were some of the most arid parts of Africa. There has been a spectacular regeneration of vegetation in northern Burkina Faso, which was devastated by drought and advancing deserts 20 years ago. . . . The main reason for the greening of the Sahara and the Sahel has been an increase in rainfall since the mid-1980s. Of the 40 rainfall stations across the Sahel, most of them have been observing an increase in rainfall.
And how about that bit about the days being "measurably hotter"? Get far enough into the endless Times article, and you find this:
Meanwhile, in what is already one of the hottest places on Earth, it has gotten steadily hotter: by 0.7 degrees Celsius since 1975, Fews Net has found.
0.7 of a degree? That's not even enough that you could tell if it happened without a thermometer.
Really, is it possible to get any more fake than this?

Press Releases
Novation Awards EarlySense's Continuous and Contact-Free, Proactive Patient Monitoring System New Innovative Technology Status
Waltham, MA, May 15, 2012 — EarlySense, a market leader in proactive patient care solutions, announced today that it has signed an agreement with Novation, the leading health care supply contracting company for the members of VHA Inc., UHC, and Provista LLC. Novation has awarded EarlySense's continuous, contact-free patient monitoring system a contract through the Novation innovative technology evaluation process.
Novation's Innovative Technology Program allows for the review of innovative technology that provides an incremental clinical benefit over existing products with its member councils and task forces. Novation's Innovative Technology Program involves a thorough and rigorous evaluation process with very high standards and thresholds.
"The Novation Innovative Technology process involves one of the most thorough and rigorous evaluation processes in the GPO industry," said Julie Ware, senior clinical manager, innovative technology, Novation. "Our Clinical & Supply Council determined that the EarlySense system is both a novel and relevant product with potential significant impact to clinical outcomes and patient safety for the acute care and long-term rehabilitation environments. For this reason, the council recommended it be awarded as Innovative Technology. Today's news illustrates Novation's strong commitment to providing its members with products that improve quality and increase the efficiency of care. We are proud to be the first nationwide group purchasing organization (GPO) to sign a contract with EarlySense."
The EarlySense system provides early detection of patient deterioration by continuously monitoring heart rate, respiratory rate and motion without ever touching the patient. The system enables clinicians to proactively respond to the earliest indications of patient deterioration or safety risk to prevent adverse events and ICU escalations.
Hospitals and rehabilitation centers using the EarlySense system report an overall improved quality of care, patient satisfaction and economic outcomes. More specifically, feedback from clinicians relate fewer transfers to the ICU, a decrease in code blue events and shorter lengths of stay. They also note a better safety record manifested in fewer patient falls and pressure ulcer events.
"It is an honor for EarlySense to work with Novation, a leading and well-respected GPO. This is a wonderful opportunity and another significant milestone for EarlySense, in process of setting a standard of care in acute care hospitals and long-term rehabilitation centers across the U.S. Novation's decision to put the EarlySense system in the new technology innovation category is proof of their continued commitment to providing the members they serve – America's leading hospitals and academic centers – with the most advanced technology and at pre-negotiated terms," said Mr. Ram Liebenthal, executive vice president of sales and marketing at EarlySense.
EarlySense is bringing to market an innovative technology designed to advance proactive patient care and enable better patient outcomes. The company's flagship product is an automatic, continuous, contact-free, patient monitoring system that monitors and documents a patient's vital signs and movement. There are no leads or cuffs to connect to the patient, who has complete freedom of movement and is not burdened by any irritating attachments. The system is currently installed at hospitals and rehabilitation centers in the USA and Europe. It is also commercially available in Canada. EarlySense Inc. is headquartered in Waltham, MA.

Same performance. Smaller package.
The EV2216W comes with all the ergonomic and cost-saving benefits that are standard with current EcoView monitors but now in a compact 22-inch screen and a 1680 x 1050 resolution.
A thin bezel design saves space on the desktop and minimizes eye movement between screens in a multi-monitor environment.
Adjust the screen to your ideal viewing position with EIZO's versatile FlexStand.
Getting Connected
Three input terminals are included for connecting to PCs. In addition, a USB hub and headphone/ audio jacks are conveniently located on the side of the monitor.
Flicker-Free Images
Due to the way brightness is controlled on LED backlights, a small number of people perceive flicker on their screen which causes eye fatigue. The FlexScan EV series utilizes a hybrid solution to regulate brightness and make flicker unperceivable without any drawbacks like compromising color stability.
A Clear View from All Angles
The FlexScan EV2216W has 170° horizontal and 160° vertical viewing angles which makes it suitable for most business use. For an environment such as a control room where the monitor is placed above eye level, an "Up View" function minimizes any washing out of colors that may occur when looking up to view the screen.
Tireless Eyes
To prevent eye fatigue, a brightness sensor called Auto EcoView detects the changes in the ambient brightness that occur throughout the day and automatically adjusts the screen to the ideal brightness level. Auto EcoView cuts power by almost 40% compared to operating the monitor at maximum brightness.

In a dimly-lit work environment, a monitor with low brightness settings will be more comfortable to use. This monitor comes with an LED backlight that allows for adjusting the brightness to just 1% (about 3 cd/m2) of the maximum. With typical CCFL backlights the lowest you could adjust to would be a much brighter 20%.
Preset Modes for Optimum Viewing
Five preset modes (including two with user adjustable settings) ensure you always get the right setting for any application. You can switch modes at the touch of a button or automatically with the bundled ScreenManager Pro for LCD software.
Paper Mode and EyeCare Filter Reduce Eye Fatigue
The Paper mode preset simulates the look of printed paper and helps prevent eyestrain when reading documents. When used with EyeCare Filter (available with the bundled ScreenManager Pro software), any of several filter patters that resemble different types of paper can be applied. You can adjust the density of the filter patterns for maximum viewing comfort.
Thank you for your interest. One of our representatives will get in touch with you soon.!

Lots of initially time house prospective buyers make bad mistakes when scouting for their initially house that they can deeply regret. Buying a house is unlike buying some socks. It might be frustrating driving from property to property, making decisions. This can Occasionally take months. Conversely, for a few normally it takes a couple of days. The point is that when you continue with the basic pointers then you definitely can't go wrong.
pointers for your home buyer:
*How much could you access – you wouldn't want to get repaying anything to the rest of your life. You wouldn't like a brokerage that will charge a fee more than you must pay both. It is usually tempting to get a house, which no longer has sufficient your budget range, but this will just lead to numerous financial stress.
*Start searching – there are various methods for you to search for a property, but make sure you don't rush into this. You need to know what you should want for. If you are looking for the place, which is right for your kids, then you might need to get an area which is situated beside a park, preferably from the urban areas.
*Invest some time, looking on the web and within the newspapers. You can even take a look at estate agents where properties will be displayed in the windows.
*Negotiate – it's really worth your while making an offer just like the home continues to be about the market for quite a while then this owner will it's quite likely simply want to remove it. It's good on an est agent that will help you with this. As soon as the deal moved through and the offer has been taken the agent will also assist you in finding a solicitor. With this it is advisable to get recommendations with rates.

Fans Will Not Be Happy About This Male R&B Singer Calling Out Beyoncé, SZA And Cardi B
"Stop using that f**king pain to make it OK to say some bullsh** on your record and get nominated for a Grammy..."
A vast majority of us can relate to that dreaded possibility where we may run into an ex-partner at a particular function, a commonplace public establishment or simply when we are least expecting it.
While the chances of ever catching Rihanna looking anything less than her best are extremely rare — one aspect of running into a former flame us common folk have to worry about — it appears as though even she can be subjected to that awkward moment someone she used to date enters the same room she's standing in.
As reported, such was the case this weekend when both RiRi and her alleged former boo, Drake, showed up to celebrate the same kid's birthday at an intimate gathering.
While we currently have minimal insight into how each respective party handled the potentially awkward situation, it appears as though the two kept a fairly safe distance and seemingly just ignored one another.
While their personal history together may more so be grounded in speculation, the former assumed couple definitely has matching tattoos to signify that one another certainly means — or meant — a lot to one another. Their alleged relationship was reportedly over in August of 2016, but we're sure there are some true believers out there in their fan bases that are still secretly rooting for the pair to join forces once again.
Nevertheless, celebrity or not, we all can agree running into an ex can be just plain weird.
Take a look at some footage of Drake and Rihanna showing up at the same kid's party in Los Angeles over the weekend in the Snapchat clip below.

Here are all the artists who posted tributes to the late R&B singer.

Trends and Transitions in Renaissance Medical-Technical Writing and Page Design: An Analysis of Timothy Bright's Sufficiencie of English Medicines (1580-1615)
MetadataShow full metadata
My thesis is an analysis of transitions in Renaissance medical writing and printing that help identify the intended readership, genre, and purpose of Timothy Bright's published medical treatise, The Sufficiencie of English Medicines (London, 1580; rev 1615). My methodological approach includes a structural, comparative analysis of page design elements, genre theory, discourse patterns and stylistic features, as well as a brief historiographical context of Bright's connections to other English medical practitioners, philosophers, and writers who adapted new writing styles and printing techniques during the late English Renaissance. The treatise, disseminated in the late 16th and early 17th century as a persuasive and informative method of preventive health communication, represents trends in the writing and printing of medical how-to books that addressed public health concerns of the day.

Internet Trolls Torment Newton Priest
December 20, 2012 7 Comments
You know, in my time I've seen some pretty disgusting, and not a little conduct that was just inexcusable but, this may just be as bad as anything I've ever read. From Rebecca Hamilton's Public Catholic.
Elizabeth Scalia, who blogs at The Anchoress and is one of the most generous people it has been my privilege to know, wrote today about another egregious example of internet cruelty.
The internet gives the mentally unbalanced and the just plain mean people among us a way to hit out at others. Troubling events agitate these folks and get them moving.
The Sandy Hook tragedy has been a magnet for both the good and the bad among us. Almost everyone has responded to it with compassion, grief and love. But the nasty unhinged are still out there, doing their worthless thing. Elizabeth wrote about one of the sorrier aspects of this sorry behavior: The attacks on a newly-ordained priest who has faced his personal baptism by fire in ministering to the shattered people of his parish in Newton Connecticut.
Be sure to read the rest of the post here.
Do you remember this picture, of these priests, Monsignor Robert Weiss and Father Luke Suarez, at the scene of carnage in Newtown?
Well, while I'm sure both priests are seeing some hate it seems the young Father Suarez, who is not two years a priest, is being targeted by creatures who enthralled to the ugly and the dark. Writes his sister, in an outreach. All emphasis mine:
My friends,
All of you, I am sure, have heard so much about the tragedy in Newtown, CT. Many of you have received emails from me about my younger brother, Father Luke Suarez, who is a priest at St. Rose of Lima parish, a Catholic church just down the road from Sandy Hook Elementary. He, and his pastor, Monsignor Weiss, arrived at the school within moments of the shooting, and have been caring for the community ever since. The picture I have included was taken at the school.
Continue reading Trolls Torment Newton Priest.
Read the articles here and support these people, I have no idea how they are able to stand up to this evil but they surely deserve the support of decent people everywhere.

2016 Lay School – What Kind of Leaders Does Your Church Need?
Back in the day, many churches were led by pastors who fashioned themselves after CEOs of companies. Then came recognition that laypeople could and would be pretty good leaders. Today, churches are changing so much that an altogether new kind of leadership – by both clergy and laity – is needed for surviving and thriving. This will be a three-part series examining leadership for churches today, including questions such as:
- What are the qualities that define leadership?
- Why have churches changed so much that they can't be run like they used to be run?
- Are there some good examples out there of churches that have reorganized leadership?
- Am I a leader or a follower?
Along the way we will discuss practical things such as committees vs. ministry teams, church vitality and growth, and cultivating volunteers.

The best option for you will be the one which you can learn the quickest. What background do you have in programming?
If you have used C or C++ in the past then C#.NET (C Sharp) may be easier for you to pickup than Visual Basic.NET. Either one can probably do what you are looking for. Old school VB6 may be able to do it as well, but at this point the .NET languages probably have a larger support base on the Internet, so when it comes time to ask questions you may be able to get a better response to .NET questions.
For the most part the .NET languages are the de facto languages for Windows application programming these days.

Gateshead boss Derek Bell sends his men out on a double mission tomorrow - and with orders to put safety first.
The Tynesiders entertain Marine, possible opponents for Bell's men in the final of the Unibond League Cup next month.
But the manager stressed today that while silverware is on his mind, three points would be a golden reward in the quest for certain safety in the Premier Division.
"We are coming to the end of a long and sometimes stressful campaign," said Bell. "The players have responded brilliantly, especially in reaching the final of the League Cup. But I will feel a lot easier if we win tomorrow and give ourselves a little more breathing space."
Bell added: "We are seven points clear of a relegation play-off place and Frickley, who are third from bottom, are due at the International Stadium a week tomorrow so that is going to be a vitally important afternoon.
Though he has no injuries worries, Bell delays naming his team as he is trying to sign a new striker to include in tomorrow's squad.

Hands On Home Inspections Colorado Springs, Pueblo Colorado
I love looking at Houses. It was what my family did for fun. Some weekends Mom and Dad would take my brothers, sisters and me to different parts of the city and to towns nearby, and we would look at houses. Fancy mansions, cute little ones all kinds of houses. It was fun, didn't cost them much - don't have to pay to get in to an open house. That was important, I have 7 brothers and sisters. We learned a lot from it too. How to behave in other folks homes for starters. They pointed out architectural details, or how the house was orientated to take advantage of natural light. After high school I worked in the trades, some framing, electrical and lots of HVAC and gas plumbing. I've bought, fixed up and sold a few properties too.
It all adds up to 35 plus years Hands On Experience, knowledge obtained directly by doing.
I have inspected over 10,000 properties in Colorado. Residential & Commercial properties, Trailers, Townhomes, Condos and Cabins. From up in the mountains to out by the mall... I've inspected them all!
So if you or yours is buying a Home in the Colorado Springs or Pueblo Colorado area - that's most of Southern Colorado - Please give me a call and maybe you will hire me as your home inspector. No mater what, the phone call and answers to your Colorado home buyer questions are always free.
You can reach me at: 719 685-5018
I keep my overhead low and don't waste money on fluff (gold name badges, 16 color notebook binders, the yellow pages!, etc.) so I can always offer you the best price for your Home Inspection anywhere in Southern Colorado.
I look forward to talking with you, and looking at and inspecting your next home.
