Hello Everyone and welcome to my first Blog Post. I'm Marrok, Marrok MacIntyre. Since this is my first post I thought I would briefly state what I'll be doing on this blog before I get into the giveaway. I will be reviewing books, comics, and movies (See the Angry Badger for movie reviews) from a Christian stand point. Now I won't be reviewing all books, comics, and movies as some go against my Christian principles. Well that's nice, Thank you. Wait you can hear me? Kind of. Don't be surprised if I pretend to be the reader. Oh, interesting. So like I'm the reader and the writer? No I'm the writer you're the reader. Oh okay, so I have a few questions... Okay shoot.
First question: Why are you reviewing comics? Aren't those things bad/nasty and something a Christian shouldn't be reading?
Great question, the reason I am reviewing comics is because I believe I can help Christians who are looking for good comics. Yes, it is true that some comics are nasty and shouldn't be read. But that also goes for movies, books, and music. I hope that maybe a Christian looking to get into comics would find my review's helpful. Not all comics are good, but when you find a good one it's great because they are a beautiful combination of art and writing.
Okay. Time for my second question: Why are you reviewing movies? Aren't there plenty of movie review sties already?
That's a good question. I guess the short answer would be because I'm sick of bias movie reviews. If you look up a movie on a review site (even the Christian ones) if one person says it's dumb then they all say it's dumb even if the movie isn't really that bad. And more often then not their review leaves an impression and we view the movie the same way. When a movie is reviewed it's done with an opinion, and as we all know not everyone shares the same opinion. So I will strive to provide an opinion free review (what is in there and recommended viewing age), then I will give you my opinionated review on the movie (whether or not I liked it or not).
Okay whatever (insert sarcastic Ironman voice here). Third question: So are you a writer or a comic geek? Will all your post be reviews?
Thank you that's a great question as well. I am a writer, artist, and comic geek. No, not all of my post will be reviews, I'll post about stuff I like. I'll make post about writing. I'll make post about art. I'll make post about nerdy geeky stuff. Maybe I'll even make a random rant post now and then.
Okay cool. Final question: Will you have a posting schedule?
Most defiantly, hopefully, yes. I'll be posting either a comic/book review, movie review, or other post every Thor's-day Thursdays (Unless I was hit by a meteor or was kidnapped by mutant penguins). So that over the weekend you'll have something to read. Because let's face it, during the week it is too chaotic to read a blog, but the weekend is a nice time to read a post.
Oh okay. Thank you for answering my questions. No problem. Thank you for stopping by. Oh wait before you leave don't forget to enter the giveaway!
I'm a generous guy and don't want anyone to leave here empty handed if you don't win ether of the giveaways, so I offer two links;
The first will take you to a FREE copy of John W. Otte's Failstate HERE (and eBook about superheroes).A very special thank you to Jaye L. Knight and Rae for taking part in my blog launch.
The second will take you to a FREE comic called Avengers: Heroes Welcomed #1 HERE (as a side note there are two or three times Dam* is said)
The second will take you to a FREE comic called Avengers: Heroes Welcomed #1 HERE (as a side note there are two or three times Dam* is said)

Black Swans
I saw my first one down here a few years ago before I had a camera with a long lens. Then about 18 months ago I saw a group of six of them just south of the Mullens picnic area. They were directly against the light so the photos were more like silhouettes than colored photos.
Then a couple of weeks ago Peter told me he had seen some right in the area where the shorebirds roost at Mullens. Peter has an enormous and very practical amount of local knowledge. (See this post about catching crabs.) He also has a very quick eye for noticing anything different about the birds and the local environment. Peter said I could post his photo as I didn't get down to the bay until the swans had moved on again.
Sometime I hope I am in the right place at the right time to get some really good photos of these beautiful birds for myself.
For more bird photos visit the Bird photography weekly.

Striking birds, the swans we see are white tundra swans. They think California is a great place to spend the winter.ReplyDelete
I think all swans are beautiful - whether white or black.ReplyDelete
Your Black Swan photos show the elegance of these birds very nicely! They do not swim close to the shore, so it is not easy to take a closer photo of them even with a big telezoom lens I think.ReplyDelete
Have a great new week, ciao! :)
Thanks Muge. The best photos I have got of Black Swans are in at the ponds in the Gympie city park where the birds get used to people all around.ReplyDelete
it is very rare to see black swans in Sweden. If there is one it is probably brought here by somebody.ReplyDelete
I saw some when I visited NZ many years ago, if I remember correctly there was some red marking on them. But I don´t remember where. :(
Hi NatureFootstep. Of course these birds are native to Australia so we should see lot of them. The bill is a beautiful red color. (Maybe I should dig up some better photos from my archives!)ReplyDelete
What beautiful birds. They look so elegant.ReplyDelete
Thanks April.ReplyDelete
Beautiful birds. I hope I'm fortunate enough to see them some day..ReplyDelete

Grace to you and peace from your brothers and sisters in Durham, where I join you from Saint Josephs Episcopal Church, and greetings from your humble servants in Centurions Guild, an ecumenical community of soldiers, veterans, and civilians wrestling between Christian faith, armed service, and national identity, for whom I speak as Executive Officer.
I have come to this beautiful house of worship at the invitation of Pastor Mark, who has invited me here as part of your fourth Peace Affirmation, that I might help you to "count the costs of war… cultivate moral imagination and discern God's redemptive work in history." Mine won't be an Eastertide message, unfortuneatly. We're gonna wander back to Holy Saturday for a bit…
Nine years ago this month, I rocked back and forth in the crypt of the Washington National Cathedral, tears tumbling awkwardly down my cheeks, my stomach in knots, hands wringing what was left of a speech I was to give before the New York Avenue Presbyterian church. My heart lay in pieces at the foot of a mosaic that spoke to me from beyond time and space.
Two roman soldiers were reclining at an open tomb, Jesus hovering above them with arms out-stretched. Before the mosaic was a small candelabra, a few flames flicking soft light upon Christ's gentle features, playing devilish tricks with the faces of the two figures with whom I would most identify. You see, I spent the good part of a decade wearing another imperial uniform. From February 2000 to November 2006, I served on active duty as a forward observer for the artillery. I knew not what I did until after a 2004 deployment to Iraq. Were it not for those six years serving alongside other soldiers, what I heard from that mosaic would have been a far easier pill to swallow.
I found myself in in the belly of the beast for the same reasons I find myself here today – I was invited to share the living story of Christian soldiers to a listening Church. Earlier in the day I had read the haunting words of a friend who has since died as a result of his own service. Joshua Casteel had deployed at the very same time as I did; I as part of a quick reaction force deployable all over Iraq and he as an interrogator at Abu Ghraib prison. His words were bitter upon my lips, for he had recognized evil for more quickly than I had. I read an excerpt of his writings before over three thousand Christians in our nations capital, describing how it took just one mission outside the wire, after he realized he had involuntarily pointed a loaded rifle at three young boys, to see sin crouching at his door. He mastered the devil that day.
I was in Iraq for 389 days. As a member of an infantry platoon, I went on exponentially more missions than Joshua did as an interrogator. Wandering the Mesopotamian wilderness like Cain before me, my heart hardened in the desert heat like the mud bricks I watched cure in the Iraqi sun.
After reading Joshua's confession from the pulpit of the National Cathedral, with my own hidden behind unspoken words that congregation would never hear, I fled the spotlight and quickly found myself buried in the crypt beside that martial mosaic. Kneeling to pray, tears began to flow freely, fixating as I was on the resurrected Christ. The saline spheres were not born in sadness, but anger. I raged at the soldiers I saw, the soldier I saw in myself, the hammer that saw nothing but nails.
Whatsoever you do unto the least of these, you do unto me
I couldn't tell whether the words sprang from my heart or my head, or if they were even mine. The least of us are certainly widows and orphans, the victims of war, not its perpetrators. Before I could make sense of what I'd heard, another voice, nearer my own, took shape…
"Even these, who struck his face and cast lots for his clothes?"
All the breath in my lungs rushed out, fleeing the wickedness holding my heart hostage. Every day in war, I added a mud brick to the wall I built around my heart to protect it from the crushing weight of the guilt it was accumulating in the wilderness. Once more, words took form somewhere in my soul;
"Even these, who flogged him?
Safe there in its cage, my soul was protected, pure, right. A third time, the Word forced his way in;
"Even these, who pierced Your very heart?"
Forgive them, for they know not what they do.
The cost of war is hard to calculate, much less quantify, as though, like commerce, everything has a price. Some things cannot be measured. We can't count the costs of war any more than we can count bodies, as though we can know the worth of even a single human life. I learned that the hard way. That night in DC, I was called by God. I didn't know it at the time; I didn't even know it when I wrote my first book, Reborn on the Fourth of July, and you wont find any reference to vocation in the pages that I describe that event, but that night I was commissioned by God.
I read the words of another soldier, a friend whose death taught me the importance of taking a long view of Church history and redemption. Joshua died while I was on my book tour actually; just under a year after he was supposed to come to Duke for the 2011 After the Yellow Ribbon Conference. We dedicated that conference to him, a conference he would be proud of because we managed to get a lot of people in the room who otherwise would not make for polite company. To the institution where pacifism rules, we managed to get the ranking ethicist from West Point to give our keynote, a presentation that would make pacifists blush. His title captures his point well; The Beauty and Tragedy of a Combat Deployment." He recently brushed the dust off his talk as an entry for "Ponder Christian Soldiers," the Guild's blog series with Christianity Today. With a more restrictive word count, he distilled his point even further; "War is Hell, But it Can Be Heaven."
Do I sense an elevated collective heart rate…?
I mention this important point, that war is far more complex than most civilians fathom, because it is necessary if we are to actually draw upon not just pacifism and just peace, but just war and patriotism as well. The fourth affirmation is of utmost importance, but it is my experience that most pacifists do not do the critical work of engaging with their adversaries as they should. Too often, we retreat to our comfort zone, we group up with like minded people and start lobbing stones over the wall we build around the hearts of our ideological campgrounds.
One Veterans Day not too long ago, I was messaging friends on Twitter about sharing the #TenSaintsTenDays blog series. In the ten days between All Saints and Veterans Day, I was profiling a soldier-saint who blurs the categorization we sometimes overlay onto Christian soldiers; too often, Christian soldiers' stories get co-opted to make a point for or against war, as though that sums up the meaning of their lives and service.
One friend, an activist whose work included nonviolent struggles, told me privately that reading their lives was "challenging," and that he was concerned about receiving "a LOT of pushback" for discussing the merits of just-war traditions.
I reminded him that a theologian he and I both admire attracted numerous ROTC cadets to his classes on pacifism and nonviolence. This theologian managed to communicate effectively across political divides to cultivate conversation despite entrenched disagreements, setting what I thought was an important example to follow. In response, my friend suggested that I had been disqualified from the pacifist community and that I needed to connect ROTC types with nonviolent activists like him.
In Rome this very weekend, a conference is being convened by Catholic pacifists, one of the stated goals of which is "the explicit rejection of just war." I would be more sympathetic had they invited contrasting voices or considered ways in which they had misrepresented the tradition by assuming the worst about war. It's easy to be wrong when we surround ourselves with people who vehemently disagree with us. It's harder to learn the habits of of our faith, of intellectual enemy love and long suffering. Can you imagine how hard it must be to sit down with someone who has 30 good reasons to betray you? Would we really make breakfast for the people who left us hanging to die?
"Follow me" the Word returns.
Cultivating moral imagination requires some stretching, it demands we depart our moral comfort zone. We may find that the things we once thought were repulsive actually have profound value. Insofar as nonviolent struggles, war, and pacifism involve the question of killing, addressing these important topics is a fools errand if it does not involve the voices of those doing the killing. When we are willing, able, and ready to sit down in the presence of our enemies, we may find that we are breathing as much threats and murder as they are, that the walls we've built around our own hearts need to fall first. It's always hardest to be the first to drop the stones in your hand. Saul's story reminds me that it's even harder to hand back all the coats to those who don't.
I was a pacifist for a long time, but I don't know what to call myself lately. Nonviolent activists have called me a baby-killer, an orthodox priest suggested that I only went to war out of bloodlust, a prestigious theologian has suggested I be referred to as a murderer. Rarely ever are these accusations made about me directly, but I cannot escape being an member of the martial fraternity. There is no such thing as a "former veteran." I thought I was dropping the stone from my hand when I refused to carry my weapon, I thought I was doing the right thing. But then I learned that I had merely changed sides, that fellow pacifists were just on the other side aiming their rhetorical weapons right back across a line drawn in the sand.
Maybe, that time when Jesus drew in the sand to protect a sinner, he wasn't fashioning a line to determine sides, but an arrow pointing at the messiah, the only one who could save us from all this binary thinking.
Discerning God's redemptive work in history forces us to think much more deeply about war and peace, and I pray that this church is up to the task. It will require that we wrestle with God and with those people whose faith does not look exactly like our own. Reading the story of salvation of history, we will encounter soldier saints and patriot pacifists who force us to expand the way we think about the question of killing. When the saints come marching in, we'll find in their number not just the military martyrs whose camouflage uniform was washed white by their selfless sacrifice, but also pious patriots who found ways to subvert the profession of arms nonviolently.
We will also hear the blood of Christian soldiers crying out from the ground, whose 'sacrifice' was mental health and moral integrity. Certainly you have heard of the 20 veterans who kill themselves every day. If the wider American religious landscape is reflected in the military, if 70 percent of service members are Christian, then fourteen of the daily twenty are Christian soldiers. Suicide can often result from internalizing the kinds of comments I've heard in my decade of working at the intersection of Christian faith and military service. I am lucky, and I thank God for the mission he has given me, to witness with and for Christian soldiers like me, like Joshua Casteel. Centurions Guild is the vessel through which I hope the story of Christian soldiers will continue to grow and breath life into the harrowing silence that so often follows in wars wake.
Worse than those things I heard about myself was the deafening silence from so many congregations unwilling to take the risk of saying the wrong thing. These affirmations give me hope that the Presbyterian church is willing to step out and Risk Peace. I thank you for your innovative witness and also for your attention today, and I hope you'll stay for the lunch hour to hear more about Centurions Guild. Pray for us, that we may be partners in this important work of discernment today and as you prepare for the 2016 General Assembly.
Hear now the prayer of the patron of soldiers and chaplains, saint Martin of Tours;
Lord, if your people still have need of my services, I will not avoid the toil. Your will be done. I have fought the good fight long enough. Yet if you bid me continue the work you entrust to me, I will never beg to be excused from failing strength. While you alone command, I will fight beneath your banner. Grant us your peace, that we may pass it to our neighbors as well as our enemies.

Today is Groundhog Day. After so much chilly weather, I was full on hoping and praying that we would be seeing warmer days in our near future. I am beyond ready for a sunny and warm afternoon here and there.
But alas, if our furry friend is in fact an accurate meteorologist, it looks like it isn't time to pack those winter coats away just yet.
I know that today Bill Murray will be plastered on my TV staring in what has to be the Most. Frustrating. Movie. Ever.
Groundhog Day.
Despite the fact that I probably hate that movie more than any other movie on the planet, in some ways it is very relatable. Being a mother of three can sometimes feel a lot like Groundhog Day.
I go through the same motions on repeat. I make the same meals, I wipe the same butts, and I fold the same laundry. I read the same books, we go over the same Bible stories, I talk about developing the same essential character skills. My children replay the same Christmas SpongeBob episode 85,000 times a day.
All of this monotony, mixed with an overdose of caffeine and sleep deprivation, can make parenting overwhelming. It can be tricky to not get stuck in a rut. It can be difficult to overcome the same routines, and sometimes I wonder if what I am doing is even important.
Are the lessons that I teach my children over and over going unnoticed? Are the Bible stories that we talk about time and time again going to be remembered? Will my kids take to heart all of my lessons on being kind to others when they are at school without me there to hold their hand along the way?
I contemplate these questions frequently. And then I am subtly reminded that my children DO notice. They do care. I know that the Groundhog Days of motherhood have paid off when I receive a sweet note from my daughter's teacher telling me that my daughter has matured into an amazing class leader. I am reminded that my children are remembering my monotonous messages when my son stands up for a little boy being teased on the playground.
So yes, the repetitive scenes in the move Groundhog Day annoy me to no end, however, the Groundhog Days of parenting are the most important days of my life.

So, yesterday the wonderful Amy of Purple Thread Designs and I, spent the day at the Little Monsters Baby and Toddler show in Bristol and what a day it was. Lovely to see the monsters being cuddled by passing little-ones, and great to get such amazing feedback on the babygro keepsake idea.
It was interesting to see that the smallest of the monsters seemed to be the most popular with the kiddies, although to be fair, even my attempts at working small tend to come out pretty huge!
Anyhoo…I was running a give-away yesterday to give one lucky family the chance to have a babygro keepsake monster made entirely free of charge. Each entrant was given a number and with the aid of the random number generator at random.org, a winner was chosen.
Without further ado I am thrilled to announce that the lucky winner is …
Congratulations Marcia, I will email you to sort out the details and design of your monster and then get to work!
Sorry to all those who didn't win but it was lovely to chat with you yesterday, and remember to check out the babygro keepsake page. Don't hesitate to contact me if you would like your cherished babygros transformed into a keepsake creature.
Right…I have a commission to get working on for a Lady Gaga fan so I'd best be off to come up with some sketches. Farewell fabric fans!

- This plant has high severity poison characteristics.
- See below
- This plant is an invasive species in North Carolina
- Description
Apocynum cannabinum is a bushy member of the dogbane and milkweed family that features opposite, lance-shaped leaves on upright, stiff stems with terminal clusters of very tiny, whitish flowers that bloom in summer. It may grow to 5 feet tall. All parts of this dogbane exude a milky juice when bruised. All plant parts are considered highly toxic to humans. This plant typically grows in the wild in dry rocky or open woods, glades and prairies. Stems are fibrous (cannabinum meaning hemp) and were once used to make rope. Very attractive to butterflies.
The stem of the Dogbane is smooth and red.
This herb produces a pair of 8-inch pods that contain seeds of down.
Indian hemp grows in average, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun. It prefers sandy soil. It is an aggressive plant that often grows in the wild in colonies and can be very aggressive in cultivation.
Fire Risk: This plant has a low flammability rating.
Insects, Diseases, or Other Plant Problems: Because of its aggressive spreading growth habit it should be grown in areas where it will not crowd out other garden perennials.

This monumental bronze equestrian sculpture, which stands in the Campo di SS. Giovanni e Paolo in Venice, represents the eminent condottieri, or mercenary captain, Bartolomeo Colleoni (ca. 1395/1400–1475).
Like many other professional soldiers, Colleoni's military service was driven not by loyalty, but by the promise of wealth and the possibility of fame. After switching allegiances several times, in 1457 he was endowed with supreme command of the Venetian army by Pasquale Malipiero, the doge of Venice.
Shortly before his death in 1475, Colleoni added a stipulation to his will that money owed him be set aside for the creation of a monument to perpetuate his memory. Ultimately, however, it was the senate that claimed official responsibility for the Colleoni statue and determined its present location. Reminding the literate audience of the government's role in not only erecting the statue, but also in making possible Colleoni's ascent, an inscription on the monument's pedestal ends with the abbreviation "s.c." for Senatus Consulto ("by the decree of the Senate"). Such monuments, which had been erected to honor other outstanding military leaders in Venice as well, were viewed by the government as a means of inspiring future condottieri to commit themselves to the Venetian cause.
Bronze equestrian monuments like this one looked back to an ancient tradition of depicting great leaders and commanders on horseback. Although it is based on this venerable tradition, Verrocchio's monument is essentially different from earlier models. Unlike the static equestrian figure of the classical world, Verrocchio's work is infused with dynamism; his steed is rendered in mid-stride, while his rider stands upright in his stirrups, twisting his torso away from the animal to survey the field. Verrocchio won the commission for the Colleoni statue in a competition. Contests for public art commissions were frequent in fifteenth-century Italy. By pitting artists against one another, sponsors hoped to elicit not only the best, but also the most efficient designs.

(FREDERICTON, NB) Dan Walker (Fredericton, NB) scored twice as the UNB Reds beat the Saint Mary's Huskies 6-0 on Saturday.
The Reds were pushing early and often, attacking the Huskies backloaded 1-5-4 formation. The Huskies adjusted as the game went on, but it did little to stop UNB's offence.
"I think its just us staying at the process," said Walker. "I think week by week we're just building and building and getting better and better, so as soon as the balls start going in the net I think we're almost unstoppable in ways when we can just play our game."
The Huskies generated chances, early on. Alex Black (Halifax, NS) flicked an overhead pass to Tyler Dorey (Dartmouth, NS) who missed on a shot deep inside the Reds box.
The Reds would strike in the 12th minute. Walker put a great ball in for Ben Gorringe (Truro, NS), who chipped it past Huskies keeper Christian Oxner (Halifax, BC) for the 1-0 lead.
In the 31st minute, Walker was on the receiving end of a great series of short passes to put the Reds up 2-0.
Substitute Maximus Manhu (Markham, ON) made it 3-0 just three minutes later with a goal in his first minute on the field.
Tristan Nkoghe (Sherbrooke, QC) would continue the offensive onslaught with a penalty kick goal in the 39th minute to finish off a four-goal half for the Reds.
The Reds continued to run up the score in the second half. Matt Quigley (Conquerall Mills, NS) completed a nice run through the middle, breaking in alone on Oxner to put away the 5-0 goal.
The Reds continued to pass the ball effortlessly through the Huskies defence to give Walker his second goal of the game, making it 6-0 in the 53rd minute.
The play evened out in the last part of the game with both teams using almost all their substitutes to finish.
Walker was named Subway Player of the Game.
UNB travels to UPEI on Sunday, for a 3:15pm kick-off. The Huskies visit Mount Allison.

One of the best things about running a virtual business and working from home, besides being able to work in your pajamas, is choosing your own hours. Knowing that I want to enjoy the short Canadian summer, I work extra in the spring "banking" my work, so that in the summer I can work a little less and draw from the extra work I did in the spring. I know not every business may be able to "bank" work and operate this way, but the beauty of having a virtual business is you get to choose your hours.
My other favorite thing to do is to schedule my work for Monday to Thursday, leaving Friday open. Knowing not everything gets done as planned, I have Friday to catch up on what didn't get done earlier in the week. I would prefer to work more hours earlier with the hope that I will have Friday off. This is a very good policy to have, especially if you have young children. Knowing that they don't always follow their schedules, get sick, get hurt or have an off day, this takes the pressure off because you have planned for the fact, not everything will be completed as scheduled.
By setting your virtual business hours, you are giving yourself an operating plan for the week. This is important because it also means you are scheduling hours when you will not be working on your virtual business. Just because it is a virtual business and you can work all hours, it does not mean you should!

Improved Simulation Of Breakdown
Simulating the breakdown region of semiconductor devices can present problems. This is not only because including impact ionization increases the nonlinearity and coupling of the carrier continuity equations. The discretization of impact ionization used in the original Stanford version of PISCES causes calculated breakdown voltages to be too high. The Stanford implementation also predicts non-physical impact ionization in certain situations. This leads to significant overestimation of output currents for some devices and bias conditions. Non-physical impact ionization can also impair, and in some cases prevent, numerical convergence.
Alternative discretizations of impact ionization have been implemented by several groups. Most of these alternative discretizations lead to more accurate predictions of breakdown voltages, but do not solve the problem of spurious impact ionization. A new implementation of impact ionization that is accurate, and that also overcomes the problem of spurious impact ionization, has been implemented in ATLAS. Some results are presented here to demonstrate the capabilities of the ATLAS implementation.
A warning is appropriate at this point. The literature contains many examples where breakdown voltages calculated using PISCES are inaccurate. In some papers calculated electrical behavior that was caused by spurious non-physical impact ionization has been misinterpreted as being a real physical effect.
The accuracy of the ATLAS implementation is demonstrated by calculations of the reverse characteristics of simple abrupt junction np diodes. Figures 1 and 2 show the reverse characteristics calculated for diodes with p region dopings of 10 and 2.0 10 cm respectively. The doping concentration in the n+ region is 10 cm in both cases. The Crowell-Sze model of impact ionization[1] was used, and a lattice temperature of 300 K was assumed. The breakdown voltages calculated using the ATLAS implementation are around 13.1V and 8.5V respectively. These values agree very well with the values for these doping levels given by Sze2. The Stanford PISCES implementation overestimates the breakdown voltage by a significant amount.
|Figure 1. Calculated breakdown voltage for a doping of 10 cm.
|Figure 2. Calculated breakdown voltage for a doping of 2 10 cm.
Elimination of Spurious Ionization
The importance of eliminating spurious impact ionization is illustrated by results obtained for an SOI transistor. The simulated device has a gate length of 0.7 µm, a channel doping of 10, a channel thickness of 0.16 µm, and a gate oxide thickness of 170 Å. The breakdown behavior of this structure was calculated using the ionization coefficients of Overstraeten and DeMan.[3]
Figure 3 shows the internal distributions of generation rate predicted by the ATLAS and Stanford PISCES implementations of impact ionization when Vg = Vd = 1 V. The ATLAS implementation predicts significant generation only in the vicinity of the drain junction. The Stanford PISCES implementation leads to spurious generation in the channel and at the source junction. Figure 4 compares the generation rate along a cross section under the gate at the Si-SiO2 surface.
|Figure 3. Calculated generation
rate distributions within the SOI transistor.
|Figure 4. Generation rate under gate at the Si-SiO2 surface.
The spurious impact ionization can have a significant effect on the calculated terminal currents in the pre-breakdown region. The drain characteristics shown in Figure 5 show that the Stanford PISCES implementation of impact ionization causes significant overestimation of the drain current in the "prekink" region. The gate characteristics shown in Figure 6 show that spurious impact ionization has a significant effect on the calculated threshold voltage, causing a shift of around -0.2 V.
|Figure 5. Calculated drain characteristics for the SOI transistor.
|Figure 6. Calculated gate characteristics for the SOI transistor.
A high quality implementation of impact ionization has been incorporated into ATLAS. The implementation is accurate and avoids the serious problems associated with spurious impact ionization. ATLAS provides effective and reliable breakdown analysis of modern semiconductor devices.

Every year, foundations give more than 45 billion dollars in grant funding. And while last year saw a slight drop in funding, forecasts for 2012 are very optimistic for increased giving. While grant opportunities from very large foundations are sometimes very competitive, there are also regional foundations that give only to local organizations and may have less challenging proposal requirements. Do you know how to locate these opportunities?
The Foundation Center is the largest producer of directories and databases of grant-giving foundations. Their goal is to connect nonprofits to grant makers. The Foundation Center provides many tools, including an "Online Librarian," print resources, and a website for finding foundation profiles, trends in grant making, and top foundations by geographic region. My two favorite resources are the free Foundation Finder, and the 990 Finder to look up details on US foundations, including their tax returns, which can yield information about the foundation's finances, the grants it gives, and who serves as board members. You can search locally to help find those foundations that are primarily interested in giving back to their communities. Take a look at some of the many other resources they provide, of which many are free:
- The Foundation Center website provides a variety of free search tools, tutorials, downloadable reports, and other information updated daily, including free online newsletters such as Philanthropy News Digest, its daily news service, and RFP Bulletin, a weekly roundup of recently announced Requests for Proposals from private, corporate, and government funding sources.
- The Foundation's Center Cooperating Collections are available in more than 450 free funding information centers such as libraries, community foundations, and other nonprofit resources centers. They provide free public access to a core collection of publications, resources and free access to online databases produced by the Foundation Center including The Foundation Directory Online (profiles the 10,000 biggest foundations) and materials on topics such as arts and culture, children and youth services, education, environment and animal welfare, health, international, libraries and information services, religion, and social services. They are now accepting applications to host a Cooperating Collection.
- Five Foundation Center library/learning centers are located in New York City; Washington, DC; Atlanta; Cleveland; and San Francisco and offer free access to information resources and educational programs.
- Foundation Center databases provide information on the nearly100,000 foundations, corporate donors, and grantmaking public charities in the U.S. and 2.1 million of their recent grants. Its Foundation Directory Online subscription service is the most popular means for searching these databases.
- Free and affordable classes nationwide cover the funding research process, proposal writing, grantmakers and their giving, and related topics through a full curriculum of training courses — in the classroom and online in the form of self-paced courses and tutorials, as well as webinars.
- The Foundation Center publishes many books ranging from basic primers on fundraising and nonprofit management to comprehensive reference works. Including:
- Grants for Information Technology
- Grants for Libraries and Information Services
- National Directory of Corporate Giving
- National Guide to Funding for Libraries and Information Services
- National Guide to Funding in Arts and Culture
- Grants for Children & Youth
- Grants for Women & Girls
What Foundation Center tools do you find helpful? Please share in the comments or take our very brief survey so we can learn from you.

Funeral arrangements have been set for Youbens Joseph, the owner of a West Nyack auto shop who was shot and killed during a business dispute.
A wake will be held from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 7 at French Speaking Baptist Church at 80 N. Madison Ave. in Spring Valley, and a funeral service will be held at the same location at 9 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 8, according to officials with Joseph W. Sorce Funeral Home in West Nyack.
Joseph will be laid to rest at 11:30 a.m. Saturday at Brick Church Cemetery at 220 Brick Church Road in Spring Valley.
Joseph, 37, of Middletown, was shot and killed around 3:15 p.m. on Nov. 25, during a dispute with a customer at his store, Youbs Auto Sales, Clarkstown Police said.
According to police, there was an ongoing dispute over the payment for a car that Eric Hue Ross Jr., 24, had purchased from Joseph, police said.
Ross, 24, of Wilmington, Delaware, fled the state but was later captured in Pennsylvania at a relative's home. He is currently waiting for extradition.
Joseph died the next day at the hospital.
According to his obituary, Joseph was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and moved to the United States in 1999. He spent 14 years working for C&S Wholesale Grocers, a supply chain company in the food industry.
Joseph opened Youbs Auto Sales in 2012 and left to operate the business full-time in 2018.
He is survived by his wife, Keren Denis Joseph; three children, Kherbens, Korry Ruebens, and Kaelah; 10 brothers and sisters and numerous nieces and nephews.

`There is no nation without a language'
The great thing about Modern Irish Gaelic orthography is that it doesn't present the complete beginner with any really nasty surprises, once he/she has mastered a few very simple rules. It may look very odd on the screen at first (particularly to someone whose only language is English) but it really does match reasonably closely the sounds it is meant to represent! Here are some of the commonest sounds a beginner needs to tackle first:
á is pronounced as in English word "drawl"
Dead easy, so far? Then read on:
fh in most cases has no sound, so
As in other countries, Ireland has many different greetings which are used, depending on the occasion and the part of country you are in.
In the following examples the greeting is listed first, and then the appropriate reply is listed underneath. A literal translation is given on the right hand side.
|Dia duit
|God to you.
|Dia is Muire duit
|God and Mary to you. (reply)
|Go mbeannaí Dia duit
|May God bless you.
|Go mbeannaí Dia is Muire duit
|May God and Mary bless you.
|Bail ó Dhia ort
|The blessing of God on you.
|Bail ó Dhia is Mhuire duit
|The blessing of God and Mary on you.
|Cad é mar a tá tú?
|How are you? (Tír Chonaill)
|Cén chaoi 'bhfuil tú ?
|How are you? (Connacht)
|Conas atá tú ?
|How are you? (Momhan)
|Tá mé go maith.
|I'm doing well.
|Slán leat
|Good Bye (said to the person leaving)
|Slán agat
|Good Bye (said to the one remaining)
|For the following greetings Gurab amhlaidh duit (The same to you) is a common reply;
|Oíche mhaith (duit)
|Good night
|Codladh sámh (duit)
|A pleasant sleep
|Nollaig shona duit
|Happy Christmas
|Nollaig faoi shéan is faoi mhaise duit
|A prosperous and pleasant Christmas

a rún
a stór
a thaisce
a chroí
a chuisle mo chroí
|... my dear darling / love / treasure
|... sweetheart
|a ghrá mo chroí

What makes the Easy Up blind the right choice for you?
This blind was designed and patented by two duck hunters because we were not happy with the features of the other blinds available to us. Listed below are some of the important features and differences that make our blind the best choice for many duck hunters.
WEIGHT - At only 30-35 pounds, our blind weighs only 1/4 to 1/2 as much as many other blinds on the market.
EASY SET UP - It only takes one man to set up our blind quickly and easily. Some other blinds require 2 hunters and can be very awkward to set up. With our blind there are no loose parts to be dropped or lost in the dark and the set up is easily accomplished even while wearing heavy gloves.
MATERIAL - Many other blinds use cheap die-cut cloth or heavy solid cloth. We use premium 3-D leafy material manufactured by Jest Textiles. Our material consists of a rip-stop camo backing onto which are sewn strips of leafy camo material. This gives our blind a very 3-D leafy look.
DOG ACCESS - Designed right into this blind are easy to use dog openings located in the center on both sides of the boat. This allows your dog to be inside the boat and under your control, and doesn't require him to exit off the bow or over the battery and gas tank next to the outboard motor.
BOAT SHAPE - Our blind framework follows the shape of your boat rather than just being a square box that attaches to your boat. This allows you to install it on a narrow pointed boat equally as well as a wide square one.
BOAT SIZE - We build this blind to fit any size hunting boat and offer it in 3 kit sizes: Up to 15', 16-17", and 18-20' boats. We also offer these as a bare frame kit if you prefer to install just the frame and use your own camo fabric to cover it with.
BLIND HEIGHT - With our blind, YOU decide how tall you want your blind to be. This is easily done during installation and allows you to match the blind to your seat height and personal preference. Other blinds on the market today have all of the dimensions factory pre-set, which may or may not work well for you.
OPEN or CLOSED TOP - In response to several requests from our customers, we designed a non-mechanical top cover that quickly became a popular option for our customers, both with our blind or added later to an existing Easy-Up blind.
With or without the top option installed, the opening at the top of our blind can be made as wide or narrow as YOU prefer. This is easily determined and set during installation.
You should realize that although our competitor's over-the-head closed top blinds may give you some additional overhead weather protection and may seem like a good idea at first, in many cases they can also severely limit your ability to have a 360 degree view or to be able to shoot in any direction as needed. Their style top will also often flare off incoming ducks because of all of the movement and noise that is unavoidable when opening the top up to shoot. If you are like me, you want the ducks to be totally surprised when that first shot goes off.
We have found, and no doubt you have also, that ducks don't always come to us from the expected direction. Therefore your ability to be able to quickly shoot at that 'surprise duck' that suddenly appears over your decoys or behind you gives our blind a valuable advantage over blinds that require you to open or move the top before shooting, and even then your shooting is often going to be restricted to only one direction.
Our non-mechanical top option gives you all of the advantages of our original open-top blind while allowing you to fully conceal the interior of your boat from overhead view. With or without our top being utilized, our blind allows you to slip your shotgun up and be ready to shoot without any noise or excessive movement, thereby giving you a first shot at incoming ducks that are totally unaware of your presence.
Our top option adapts instantly to accommodate 1,2,3 or more hunters in your boat by only having openings where needed and concealing everything else or it can be left completely open and totally out of the way. Our top adds less than 5 pounds to the blind and can be added to any existing Easy-Up blind without other modifications to the blind.
BOAT COVERAGE - Some other blinds only cover a portion of the boat leaving the nose, engine, or sides exposed unless you purchase additional side skirts or engine cover etc. Our blind covers the complete boat and motor all the way down to the water line thereby eliminating the need to paint your boat, purchase expensive decals, or add extra side skirts or motor covers.
STEERING CONSOLE - A side steering console will get in the way of many blinds, however the Easy-Up will fit your boat properly and work equally well no matter what type of steering system your boat has. Regardless of whether your boat has tiller steering, stick steering, center console or side console steering, you can rest assured that our Easy-Up blind will work well with it.
MUD MOTORS - These are currently very popular with duck hunters and many of the other commercial blinds on the market do not work well with them. When we started this business back in the mid 90's, our very first Easy-Up blind went on a boat with a longtail Go-Devil motor. Our optional mud-motor adapter allows any of our blinds to work perfectly on any boat with a mud-motor. This was part of our design from the start and not an afterthought modification.

It is estimated that 1 million needlestick injuries are suffered by healthcare
workers in Europe each year. More than 20 dangerous bloodborne pathogens are
transmitted by contaminated needles, including Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and
Percutaneous injury from hollow bore blood filled sharp objects is the primary
route through which healthcare workers occupationally acquire blood borne and
potentially fatal diseases. High-risk procedures include blood collection, IV
cannulation and percutaneously placed syringes. Suture needles, scalpel blades
and glass items used daily by hospital staff also offer real risk if these
devices have been in contact with contaminated blood.
The majority of sharps injuries are suffered by nurses and occur in patient
rooms and the operating theatre, but doctors and other medical staff are also
victims. Ancillary staff such as cleaners and laundry staff and other
downstream workers, are also at risk. Additionally medical devices
incorporating needles are frequently used for self-treatment outside of the
conventional healthcare setting and this can create additional dangers for the
general public. In an average hospital, workers incur approximately 12 to 30
needlestick injuries per 100 beds each year. However, it is estimated that
between 60% and 80% of incidents go unreported. If suffering an injury from a
contaminated 'sharp', the risk of transmission of infections is 1 in 3 workers
for hepatitis B, 1 in 30 for hepatitis C and 1 in 300 for HIV.
The victim's mental suffering can be considerable. A lengthy process of
diagnostic procedures must be followed before it is known whether a serious
disease has been contracted or not. It needs to be recognised that the risk of
sharps injuries may be a strong disincentive to taking up a medical career and
may increase the scarcity of experienced medical staff.
TO PREVENT MEDICAL SHARPS INJURIES demands EU Action on these dangers.
Injuries caused by needles and other sharp medical devices and the related risk
of potentially fatal disease transmission remain a major threat to the health
and safety of healthcare workers across the European Union today.
In addition, the distress, sickness and absenteeism resulting from sharps
injuries constitute a considerable strain on the already limited human
resources in the medical profession.
We call upon the EU Institutions to take the lead in the battle against sharps'
injuries and to prioritise this issue so that it receives the attention it
deserves and ensure implementation of proven best practices across the European
Common Aim
We call on the EU Institutions to communicate clear policy and requirements to

Herbed Meatballs
Category : Main Dishes, Recipes
Start with a simple recipe, add a few pungent local herbs, and you have a whole new gustatory experience. Let me show you what we can do with pasta and meatballs.
I started with some Lummi Island grown, grassfed beef. I grated some dried homemade bread (made with bread flour from Fairhaven Organic Flour Mill, and other local ingredients) to make some bread crumbs. Then I walked out into the garden and snipped some fresh thyme and rosemary leaves. I had some aged gouda cheese from a recent visit to Appel Farms Cheese Shoppe, and some green garlic grown at Broadleaf Farm that I had purchased earlier from Terra Organica. Add a little salt and the meatball ingredients are complete.
I served the meatballs with some penne rigate made by Bellingham Pasta, sprinkled with some chopped fresh basil grown by Dominion Organics (Ferndale).
Gustatorial bliss!
- Prep Time:
15 min
- Cook Time:
10-15 min
- Ready In:
30 min
- 1 lb lean ground beef (Island Grown Farmers Cooperative, Lummi Island)
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs (homemade)
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped (home garden)
- 1 Tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (home garden)
- 1/4 cup aged gouda cheese, grated (Appel Farms, Ferndale)
- 3 stalks green garlic, chopped (Broadleaf Farms, Everson)
- salt (see Exceptions)
Set broiler to preheat.
Mix ingredients thoroughly in a mixing bowl. Add a little water if mixture does not stick together easily.
Wet your hands and shape mixture into balls of the size you want. Broil until the top is nicely browned, about 5-8 minutes depending on how large the meatballs are. Turn, and broil the other side.
Remove from the broiler and set aside until you are ready to mix them with your pasta or sauce.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve with buttered pasta and fresh basil for a tasty main dish. Add a sauce, if you like.

The Cosmic side of the Marvel universe was brought to our attention when the Chitauri, under the control of Loki and on leave from Thanos, battled the Avengers in the Battle of New York. While, for the most part, people are familiar with Earth-based heroes, the Cosmic has been a part of Marvel since its inception and will be explored, in full for the first time, in next year's Guardians of the Galaxy.
Marvel, the House of Ideas, has an absolutely full stable of fascinating Cosmic characters and galactic stories and for nearly 50 years. Many of Marvel's great Cosmic characters have roots in the earliest Marvel comics from the 1960s. Many of these characters have been involved in several classic stories and have better connections than Kevin Bacon to the expansive cast of Guardians of the Galaxy.
I'm NOT saying we get ourselves a movie wherein we see all these characters together, but that these 4 Cosmic characters, and many others, are currently absent from the MCU and deserve their close-up!
I'll start with whom I am most certain will join the MCU and that is with Nova. The inclusion of the Nova Corps in Guardians of the Galaxy, along with Marvel's INTENSE push to get Nova into mainstream consciousness through Ultimate Spider-Man and a new, Marvel Now series, is a clear indicator that they are pondering putting The Human Rocket on screen at some point.
Just which of the human Novas from the comics will be added to the MCU is a bit of a conundrum, however. The majority of comic book fans older than 12 would likely be in favor of Richard Rider, the original human Nova and hero of the legendary Cosmic arc, Annihilation. However, recent efforts to reintroduce Nova have centered on a new, younger Nova, Sam Alexander. Rider's origin story may tie nicely into the events of Guardians of the Galaxy; Alexander is the current face of Nova. Toss up, here, but Nova will most likely be in the MCU sooner than later.
Of all of Marvel's Cosmic characters possibly one of the most well known is Mar-vell, the Kree Captain known to most as Captain Marvel after humans misheard his Kree name. Mar-vell was one of the white-skinned Kree and was a pawn in a plan by the Supreme Intelligence, the ruler of the Kree, to destroy Earth. Through a confusing series of events Mar-vell became linked to Avengers buddy-boy Rick Jones. Though stuck in the Negative Zone, Mar-vell could switch places with Jones for short periods of time by having Jones clank his pair of Nega-Bands, shiny bracelets that make the user capable of flight among other tricks.
Eventually Mar-vell broke free of his dependency on changing places with Jones and aided the heroes of Earth and the galaxy in many adventures including helping defeat Thanos during one of his many attempts to conquer the universe. Mar-vell has had two deaths and one ressurection and most recently played a large role in the Avengers vs. X-Men saga. Mar-vell also has a meaningful link to one of Marvel's most famous and powerful female heroes, Carol Danvers, former Ms. Marvel and current Captain Marvel.
Carol Danvers is by far one of Marvel's most recognizable female heroes and easily their most powerful. Carol was kidnapped by Kree Yon-Rogg in an effort to lure Mar-vell into battle. As the two fought, Carol was caught up in a Kree reality-altering machine called a Psyche-Magnitron, changing her DNA, making her essentially half-Kree and imbuing her with incredible power. Calling herself Ms. Marvel, after her friend Mar-vell, Carol was a member of many super teams, including the Avengers, and also played a key role in several galactic showdowns. Recently, after the death of Mar-vell at the hands of the Phoenix, Carol took the title Captain Marvel in honor of her long-time friend and the catalyst behind her immense powers.
Carol is a key character because she is link between the Avengers and the Cosmic, however, she may not be on-screen anytime soon, as Joss Whedon mentioned in an SDCC interview, as her overwhelming powers may make her a little too hard to add to the roster. So despite Whedon's intention to add more females to the MCU, sadly the current Captain Marvel may not be one of them.
Easily the most complex and flat-out strangest of the Cosmic characters missing from the MCU is Adam Warlock. Adam Warlock was created by a group of whacked out scientists called the Enclave and represented their vision of the perfect human. Due to his enhanced and manipulated genetic structure, Warlock has any number of superhuman powers, including the ability to teleport and manipulate the cosmic energy around him to a number of ends.
Warlock's stories span back to the late 1960s and he has interacted with numerous members of the Marvel universe. It is, however, his connection to two current
pieces of the MCU that make him intriguing: the Guardians of the Galaxy and Thanos, the Mad Titan. Warlock has been a frequent ally of the Guardians and is as much a part of Thanos's story as any other single character through his connection to the Soul Gem, one of the Infinity Gems that Thanos so covets. I was initially surprised not see Adam Warlock among the characters in Guardians of the Galaxy, though I can certainly see where he can fit in down the road in the MCU.
The Cosmic side of the MCU is just being opened up to us and will certainly be explored further and more deeply in the next few years. It is a part of the Marvel universe full of rich and diverse characters, including the four I mentioned above, and is worth a read if you find yourself curious.
Next up, Part 3 in MIA. Get ready for some street-level justice because I'm going after some Marvel Knights and Heroes for Hire!!

Any ideas on the events? That actually sounds like a pretty cool idea!
This one definitely my favorite series of worlds! I've been a huge fan of CommuniCraft since CommuniCraft 2.0 came out. I was lucky enough to be an admin on CC3 which was extremely fun and delightful. Can't wait to see CC4 Jet ^.^
Can I build a stadium
Can I build a shed?
this going to be cool I did join your map long ago it was 2.0 or 3.0 but I was not a member but anyway I might join good luck on your map.
Oh yeah its time. I promise something better then CC3. lol
Jet, I never had a chance to see the previous maps but from the sounds of them, I am looking forward to seeing the newest one.
You could have a community event area, where contributors are encouraged to build things that players can do something on. Say, a small challenge course.Alternatively, you could make something yourself. Perhaps small RPGs where you incorporate structures that contributors have created.
The map is being hosted currentlynif anyone wants to stop by! This is the first actual building session for the public, so come and join in

Led by the exceptional Professor Peter Vuillermin, both a researcher and a paediatric clinician at Geelong University Hospital, the Barwon Infant Study is both internationally recognised and unique – remarkably, the only study of its kind in the world. The longitudinal study has been running for just over 4 years and is closely following over 1,000 Geelong mothers and their children collecting samples and taking measurements all designed to unlock the early life secrets of disease and health.
The resource that has been built is staggering with a collection of over 500,000 biological samples which is now arguably the most complete early life 'biobank' in the world. This, coupled with the additional data collected on the children, enables the team to tackle questions that literally no other group can, and according to Peter, the logistical advantage and community spirit of the Geelong region have been instrumental to the study's success.
"This is where you are going to get the most 'bang for your buck'. If you can understand the first 1,000 days of life, you can design preventative strategies to some of the most burdensome health problems facing the Australian and global community."
"Our research brings together community effort and some of our best research minds – combining people-power with cutting-edge science! More than a thousand pregnant women from the greater Barwon region have enrolled in the Study. The recruitment of mothers and children from our own area has been critical as there is a broad cross section living in 'mixed exposures' of both city and rural environments."
The Proof and the Potential
Significantly, Peter's team has recently published a series of landmark papers in top ranking international journals, including The International Journal of Epidemiology and Science Translational Medicine. They have shown that babies who have exaggerated inflammatory responses at birth are at increased risk of developing food allergy, and have provided the first evidence that the microorganisms that colonise a baby at the time of birth may influence the risk of cardiovascular disease – heart attacks and strokes – in later life. With support, they are now ideally placed to take this intellectual momentum to the next stage.

my testimony
I believe in God. He is my Father. He loves me and wants me to return to Him. He loves and wants the same for each of you, too. Because of this, He sent His Son to live and die for us.
I believe in Christ. He is my Savior and Redeemer. He atoned for our sins and died for us. He overcame death and because of Him, we can live with our families and our Heavenly Father again.
I believe that Joseph Smith is a living prophet. He restored the same Church that existed when Christ lived on the earth. He saw God and Jesus Christ. He translated the Book of Mormon.
I believe that the Book of Mormon is true. The people and prophets who lived and taught in those times are real. They taught true doctrine and righteous principles that are applicable to our day. It has been a huge blessing in my life and I know it can bless you, too.
I believe that Thomas S. Monson is the living prophet today. God speaks through Him to give instruction for us. The other apostles and leaders of the Church are divinely called and directed to lead us as well.
I believe in families. I believe we can live with our families forever. I believe in temples. I believe in the priesthood. I believe in faith. I believe in obedience. I believe in the Holy Ghost. I believe in God's love for me. I believe that God answers prayers. I believe that Jesus lived and died for us, and that He lives today.
I love this Gospel. I am grateful for it. I know it is true.
In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Selling your property is one of the most important transactions that you can ever have in your life. This is because it includes dealing with huge amount of money. Unfortunately, it may take you a good while to find that reliable buyer who will give you what you deserve. But if you have the right information and you know what to do, it will take you a matter of few days or even hours to find good buyers. The fact that the real estate has tremendously grown is supposed to tell you that you will not to go an extra mile to find the right buyers for your property. This article gives you a guideline that can help you find reliable home buyers within .a few hours.
Call all your friends
This is one of the most important steps that most people ignore. Can you imagine a situation where you have a solution for yourself, and yet you go looking for it away? This is what most people do. They do not realize that those friends and family members that they ignore can help them find what they are looking for very fast. In some instances, you may find some of your close friends buying houses from your enemies. In such cases, you have yourself to blame since you did not make known to them that you had the intention of selling your home.
Your website
We are living in a technological world where every person is actively involved in the online matters. In fact, most people in the developed world will never buy anything without first having to search for it online. This, therefore, tells you that you need to have a good website that will convey that information that you want to the right people. You need to have a good website that is easy to navigate. The website needs to be attractive as well since most people will associate the website and the property being sold.
Social platforms
You probably know that many people around the world are actively involved in social platforms. This, therefore, means that if you want to get a large audience for your property, then you need to make sure that you give social platforms the attention that they deserve. This includes having professional profiles in most of the social platforms. This will help you to grow contacts that can use to pass information about the intention to sell your property.

Letter to Editor 'Let Us Build Pakistan'
To: 'Let Us Build Pakistan' A Project of Critical Supporters of Pakistan People's Party
Date: Tue, Dec 1, 2009 at 1:40 PM
Subject: Response to 'We welcome your contributions to this blog whether in the shape of a letter, article or column'
"We welcome your contributions to this blog whether in the shape of a letter, article or column. Please send your piece to: firstname.lastname@example.com Please note that we will accept and publish a well-written and well-argued piece even if you do not agree with the opinion or the aim of this blog."
Thanks. Below are 5 articles on Pakistan which are not partisan to any Political Party, Military, ISI or any other Intelligence Apparatus, News Media, or Civil Society. All have eaten their fill of 900 mice, and some have performed Hajj. That however does not a 'virgin' make. Those who shill for them because of tribal, political, or other sentimental affiliations, to my mind, are complicit in the same crimes they purport to be against as decent and moral human beings.
Had your new Critical Thinking venture ( http://www.criticalppp.org/ ) been a partisan for truth, rather than partisan for PPP, I would have appreciated your efforts far more. But I do applaud your honesty of declaration of partisanship so that no one is misled, and also your soliciting viewpoints which may go against the grain of populist wisdom. Thank you for that. Take whatever you like from my website in addition to any or all of the following recent analyses - you will notice that no piece of writing from Project Humanbeingsfirst is mere opinion, but is fully substantiated. Its commonsense however, often appears to go against conventional wisdom.
Best wishes, and eid mubarak.
