The Bible is true. "All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that everyone who belongs to God may be proficient, equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17
We need Jesus. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life." John 3:16
Prayer makes a difference. "Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Philippians 4:6
Small groups are important. "And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching." Hebrews 10:24-25
Teamwork is essential. "For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. " 1 Corinthians 12:12
Authenticity is valuable. "Bear one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." Galatians 6:2
We grow through struggle. " I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us." Romans 8:18
We are all called to impact the world with Christ's love. "In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16

In May the annual meeting and business forum of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development was held on the shore of the Dead Sea, in Jordan. An international organization, which finances and supports initiatives in developing countries, including Ukraine, holds such meetings every year to discuss issues and prospects of young democracies. This year, the financial technology topic was one of the most popular and interesting. Having listened to other countries' experience, we were able to draw some interesting parallels.
Vice President of Tencent, the largest Chinese technology company, said that in China all payments – from shopping in a supermarket to donating to a street musician – are made through mobile phones using QR codes. It is worth mentioning that most of such transactions are available only to clients of AliPay, UnionPay and other Chinese systems. In China, even in very remote villages it is impossible to do anything without a telephone – there are 753 million mobile Internet users in the country, which gives access to finance to the widest community. And this is despite the fact that Facebook, Youtube, Google, Twitter, WhatsApp and other Western services are banned.
FinTech solutions are applied not only in an innovative environment, but are also a part of mass market. For example, for more than two thousand years there has been a New Year tradition in China to present red envelopes with money to friends and relatives. Several years ago, WeChat held a "Red envelope" campaign, and millions of people were able to send electronic money instead of cash. During the year, more than 400 million users, individually and in group chat rooms, made cash transfers for CNY 32 billion. In the meantime, one can spend half a day in any metropolis in Ukraine looking for an operating ATM, since there is simply no card payment option. Let alone QR codes.
Minister of Finance of Lithuania shared an interesting experience – they created a secure FinTech system without banks at the state level. Country's central bank allowed non-bank companies to conduct transactions with Central Bank's money. Means the platformization of economy with online platforms, which replace the entire traditional industries and create new ones. This suggests that it is necessary to create holistic approaches to the access to finance and protection of personal data at state and legislative levels.
However, despite technological changes in this area, the legislative component of FinTech needs to be separately controlled. Companies must independently promote legislative initiatives in their industry, since only they know the market and rules of the game. When discussing FinTech, the talks usually about final consumer, but there is an important point for the states: if a country wants to develop faster, it is necessary to create alternative systems for banks that are less regulated and more innovative. It is important to acquire a chaos management skill in the issue of managing a banking system with the advent of financial technologies at state level.
Speed, security, simplicity – these are the principles of successful FinTech solutions according to Andre Kuusvek, former Director of the EBRD in Ukraine. They must also be the basis of state policy on new technologies. With which, frankly, we have problems. At best, the state simply ignores technology: for example, the National Bank persistently refuses to give any definition of crypto-currency and express a clear position on the issue of its exchange and other transactions. On the one hand, this inhibits the civilized development of crypto business, on the other hand – everything which is not forbidden is allowed.
Another common state tactic: to ban and suppress everything new and unclear. However, FinTech, among others, successfully copes with any bans, inventing more and more ways to skirt any restrictions.
Modern top management understands that FinTech is not just consonance of letters, it stimulates the development of industry, boosts the introduction of innovations. New technologies are not an enemy, but an opportunity to change towards the client.
As to issue of regulating crypto-currencies, smart contracts and other FinTech manifestations, it is absolutely necessary to develop common, transparent and understandable rules of the game for everyone. It is also obvious that the adjustment instruments must change along with the entire industry, be flexible and up-to-date. After all, it's strange to try to drive a self-driving car using bridle reins, isn't it?

Journal of Shellfish Research (article 1)
Researchers at NOAA's Milford Laboratory in Milford, Conn. have shown that naturally-occurring bacteria isolated from the digestive glands of adult eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) and northern bay scallops (Argopecten irradians irradians) may be used as potential probiotic candidates in oyster larviculture.
Two related research studies published in the Journal of Shellfish Research identify a new probiotic bacterium, designated OY15, which has been shown to significantly improve larval survival in pilot-scale trials during the first two weeks of life, the most critical stage for the organism when mortality rates are among the highest.
"We are cautiously optimistic that this probiotic candidate, OY15, will offer a number of significant benefits to the shellfish industry," said Gary Wikfors, co-author of both studies and head of the Milford Laboratory's Biotechnology Branch. "Commercial and public shellfish hatcheries can have low survival rates for shellfish seed during the first two weeks, so improving those survival rates and the health of the organisms beyond that point is a pretty significant step forward."
Hatcheries produce shellfish seed to supplement natural seed, which is often limited by loss of habitat, contamination from pollution, climate change and other factors. Bacterial diseases caused mainly by pathogenic bacteria such as Vibrio are a major cause of mortality in hatchery shellfish, particularly at the very early larval stage. The result: significant financial losses to commercial growers and to production of farmed shellfish, which accounts for 25 percent of the total world aquaculture product.
Antimicrobial drugs approved for use in aquaculture in some countries, but not the US, have traditionally been used to treat bacterial diseases, but overuse of antibiotics can result in the development of resistant strains of bacterial pathogens. The use of probiotic bacteria has become increasingly popular for improved nutrition, healthy digestion and disease prevention and is used in human foods like yogurt and in pet foods.
As demand for environmentally-friendly aquaculture grows, the use of probiotics for disease prevention and improved nutrition in shellfish aquaculture is also growing. While a number of research studies have shown promise, development of probiotics that can be used in aquaculture is a multistep process requiring fundamental research and full-scale trials.
"The objective of the first part of this study was to isolate and evaluate new probiotic bacteria which, when incorporated into foods used in shellfish hatcheries, might significantly improve larval survival," said co-author Diane Kapareiko, a microbiologist at the Milford Laboratory. The second part of the study was to test the new probiotic candidate on the survival of oyster larvae in pilot-scale trials during their first two weeks of life.
"We conducted a very cautious, step by step study, to identify the best candidates under a variety of scenarios," Wikfors said. "Our bench-scale challenge studies indicated that oyster larvae exposed to probiotic candidate OY15 had the highest survival rate, and that the survival of pathogen-challenged larvae was further improved by the presence of OY 15 compared to the pathogen alone. It is somewhat analogous to a human building up immunity to a certain organism by being exposed to it, but without the involvement of antibodies."
The Milford scientists isolated 26 candidate probiotic bacteria from oysters and scallops of which 16 had an inhibitory effect against a known shellfish-larval pathogen (B183) of the Vibrio species of bacteria. Further screening for safe use in culturing the oyster larvae and their microalgal feed indicated which probiotic candidates would inhibit growth of the pathogen most effectively and therefore could confer a protective effect upon oyster larval survival.
Lab studies indicated that survival of two-day old oyster larvae during two-week pilot scale trials improved when supplemented with the probiotic candidate OY15 strain. Four treatments were conducted: a larval control with no bacteria, a pathogen control with larvae and pathogen B183 only, a probiotic control with larvae and probiotic candidate OY15 only, and a combination treatment comprised of larvae and both probiotic and pathogen.
"Our research focused on the critical first stage of larval growth, when mortality rates are among the highest," Kapareiko said. Positive effects of probiotic candidate OY15 were found on the survival of oyster larvae (short term), on growth of phytoplankton used as larval feed, and upon oyster survival during pilot-scale larviculture conditions.
"This two-part study confirms that use of naturally-occurring probiotic bacteria confers protection to oyster larvae against bacterial disease and improves their survival," Kapareiko said. "The results can be used as guidelines for isolating and screening other potential probiotic candidates for similar aquaculture applications, and provide the basis for developing functional foods for use in shellfish hatcheries that incorporate a naturally occurring, probiotic bacteria."

Share the post "Graduation day at Les Roches International School of Hotel Management"
In a snowy but electric atmosphere, more than 200 students from Bachelor, Master and Postgraduate programs received their diploma at Les Roches International School of Hotel Management on Friday, December 3, 2010.
"I want to thank you, Les Roches, for all the doors you are opening for us", said a Russian valedictorian, speaking for her class and exemplifying the ambience on graduation day. More than 200 students, from almost 100 different nationalities, were all dressed up with the graduate's suit and hat, waiting for the last step to the future. They were individually called by their program manager to receive their diploma and congratulations from the CEO Arie van der Spek together with Colin Small, Dean of undergraduates, or Jeremy Hutchinson, Director of Academic Affairs. Students in tears were waving to their excited and emotional parents who were queuing to take a picture of their prodigious children. It was definitely a moving afternoon in the famous Swiss hospitality management school.
"The world is your oyster", says keynote speaker Mr. Simon. P. Casson, General Manager of Four Season Hotel in Doha Qatar. This hospitality professional was thrilled to be back after 10 years of recruiting over 1'000 Les Roches students for the Four Seasons luxury hotel chain. Simon Casson delivered a highly motivational speech directed to students and inspired every person present at Les Roches. "Imagine yourself 20 years from now, invited to speak like me at your former school graduation ceremony. What will you have accomplished, what will you speak of, what words of wisdom, forged from your own experiences, will you share with generation Z who are yet to be born?". At the end of his speech full of advice for the future professional life of the graduates, he closed with this quote from the famous American writer Mark Twain: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
The ceremony was followed by a very nice cocktail reception and buffet prepared by younger students, probably dreaming of their own graduation day.

Moving-Up and Downsizing
How do you sell your home to buy another property without having two mortgages at the same time or becoming temporarily homeless?
The short answer is by carefully utilizing a contract called the Contingency For Sale or Purchase of Other Properties. Let us know if you would like to know more about how we use this form to protect our clients from the risk of two home loans at the same time or temporary homelessness.
Move-up buyers are those who own a home but are ready for more space or a new neighborhood. This can be a much different and more complicated scenario than buying for the first time or buying investments. Move up buyers face a different set of challenges, such as having the contingency to sell or rent their existing home first. In essence, you are now chaining together multiple transactions requiring exceptional care and service from your Realtor team.
Radiant Property Group has the experience in successfully navigating the move-up process. You will have the peace of mind knowing that the best team is looking after every detail and examining any way we can to get you the most value from both your existing sale and your new purchase.
Contact us today so we can begin strategizing the best way to help you make this exciting transition!
In the past, the majority of our clients who were downsizing were typically those who were retiring. Nowadays, downsizing has been a trend not only with those who are retiring, but also with cost conscious consumers in this down economy. Either way, the Radiant team has the experience to help reduce the stress of this transition as we handle all the details to successfully complete the process.
If you or your spouse are age 55+, you may be able to take advantage of California Propositions 60 & 90 to receive property tax relief by transferring your property's tax base from an existing residence to a replacement residence. Typically the property tax of a newly purchased residence is based on its current market value upon change of ownership. However, Propositions 60 and 90 may result in substantial tax savings since it allows the adjusted base year value of the original (sold) property to be transferred to the newly purchased home if eligibility requirements are met.
Call us to find out if you qualify for this tax savings.

Charleston, SC – Following his widely panned debate performance against Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford is backing away from his plea for more debates.
"I know I spent the last two weeks insisting there should be more debates," stated Sanford on a conference call with reporters, "but after last night, I feel I've made my case to the voters and I have nothing left to prove."
Sanford is trailing Colbert Busch in the latest polls and is fighting against high unfavorability ratings following his stint as governor that included 37 ethics charges and $70,000 in fines.
The election for the House seat representing South Carolina's first congressional district will be held on Tuesday, May 7.

As I previously wrote here, the Galaxy Nexus specifications are top notch in nearly every department. One area where people are disappointed is in the 5 megapixel camera. I decided to conduct a small comparison of the Galaxy Nexus camera against a few other devices with photos I might take on a walk around the office and town. As you can see in my image gallery of photos taken I used the GSM unlocked Galaxy Nexus (Android), Apple iPhone 4S (iOS), HTC Radar 4G (WP 7.5), and Nokia N9 (MeeGo) to try to cover all the major smartphone platforms.
I captured the following photos, all in auto mode, to compare between each smartphone:
- Pike Place Market in December
- Nordstrom store front display
- Colored leaf on a tree
- A couple of characters on my desk
- Charlie Brown's Christmas tree
I spend some time below walking through the Galaxy Nexus camera software in more detail after briefly mentioning it in my Ice Cream Sandwich walk through article posted yesterday.
|Image Gallery: Check out several sample photos taken with these four smartphones in various situations.
Galaxy Nexus camera softwareThe camera software is pretty basic, but there are several options and functions I wanted to share with you. When you launch the camera (still a bit sad to see there is no dedicated camera button) you will see a bar on the right side of the display that shows the last image captured, image capture button, and mode selector (still, video, and panorama). Just to the left of this wide bar you will find the toggle for front or rear facing cameras, zoom slider bar, and menu button.
Still photo optionsIf you select the still photo option then you can tap the menu button and see the following settings to choose from:
- Flash mode: Auto, on or off (no red eye flash is present)
- White balance: Auto, incandescent, daylight, fluorescent, and cloudy.
- Exposure: from +3 to -3
- Scene modes: auto, action, night, sunset, and party
- Menu: location store toggle and picture size (QVGA to 5 megapixel)
Video optionsIf you select the video capture option then you can tap the menu button and see the following settings to choose from:
- Flash mode: On or off
- White balance: Auto, incandescent, daylight, fluorescent, and cloudy.
- Effects: Big Eyes, Big Mouth, Small Eyes, etc.
- Time lapse interval: You can customize to recored from 0 to 10 seconds
- Video quality: HD (1080p), HD (720p), and SD (480 pences)
- Menu: location store toggle and picture size (QVGA to 5 megapixel)
The effects are silly, but my daughter and I thought it was a fun way to be fairly interested.
Panorama modeThis mode allows you to capture things like a large concert hall or stadium full of people. Once you initiate a call you simply sweep to one side, following the tutorial
The camera is extremely responsive and there is virtually no shutter lag at all. I think you can see in my image gallery that the photos are actually quite good with the device.
Comparison TableHere you can see my selection of first through fourth place in each of the five situations that I took photos. The lower the score the higher the ranking as it was simply a 1 through 4 rating scale between all four phones. The Galaxy Nexus and iPhone 4S beat the HTC Radar 4G and Nokia N9 by a huge margin, but were very close to the same. My rankings are simply how I personally see each photo in comparison to each other, but I will let you check out the image gallery and make your own judgement call too.
What about video?I tested out video on all four phones and noticed the following:
- Galaxy Nexus: Rich colors, sound capture appears to be decent
- iPhone 4S: Very good video quality and audio capture was superb
- Radar 4G: Colors were a bit washed out and video stuttered a bit
- Nokia N9: Colors looked very real
I have to spend a lot more time with the Galaxy Nexus and video recording software.
Is there a clear winner?As you can see in the table it is clear that there are two very good camera phones and then others that could stand for some updating. HTC is rolling out devices with very good cameras, but the Radar 4G is not one of them and I don't have an HTC Titan to test out since I heard that is quite good. The N9 does fine, but I found the photos from the Galaxy Nexus and iPhone 4S to be much better.

text: We have exposed our hard wood floors that were under linoleum for at least 15-18 years. Only the edges had been glued, but it also seems tacky in the interior of the floor. What is the best way to remove the adhesive along the edges? Will the tackiness in the interior go away? Without totally sanding and refinishing the floor for now, we would like to do something to the surface for now. Any recommedations?

It's really quite simple. We spend a great deal of time and money exploring new fisheries. We love this part of our job and since all of us at AD are diehard anglers, we are dedicated to exploring worldwide angling opportunities. For us, that's the fun part of our work! The hard part comes into play when we try to spread the word about a great new destination. All too often, we find ourselves caught in a classic "Catch 22". If we publish an advertisement in a fishing magazine or post a trip report on our website, we have unfortunately "let the cat out of the bag". Much to our dismay, often it doesn't take long for this new fishery to be "discovered".
Sometimes local fishermen see anglers arriving and they start calling themselves guides. Our competition is only too willing to jump on the bandwagon with these new "guides" and soon this great new spot is overrun, and often overfished. Sometimes governments or local entrepreneurs are alerted to the potential of a destination by our marketing and big resorts are built designed to rake in the big cash. Of course the resource gets hammered, but who cares, money is to be made!!
We are left frustrated and yes, a bit angry. It's a maddening thing to see a great fishery exploited often with not even a glance at the proper carrying capacity of the resource.
We know it is frustrating for the traveling angler too. You find a great spot, one that you would like to return to many times, but soon the destination is in every catalog and your "secret" spot is now the "hot" spot. So what do we do?
Well, here's an idea. With a nucleus of willing anglers, a short shelf life of some "marketed" destinations and our competition watching our every move, we are going to institute a new program we are calling DESTINATION X. For it to work though, we need YOUR cooperation... more on this in a moment.
DESTINATION X will go like this: An appropriate DX fishery will be added to the DESTINATION X web page. These DX fisheries will not be well known. They may be spots we have discovered and just filed away for later use or they may be spots that were once known, but now have fallen off the angling map for various reasons. We may plan only one week or perhaps a few weeks of trips to these places. We may use a "hit and run" approach. To put it another way, we will fish the area cherry picking the best times and tides and then let the fishery recover the rest of the year. We may go back the following year or we may not. We may use a live-aboard yacht as our base or we may set up a tent camp. We may stay in a local hotel or base ourselves out of a resort. Some destinations may be guided some may not. To put it differently, each trip will be unique.
We will never publicize the exact location of any DESTINATION X. There will be no maps leaving a trail of breadcrumbs to the fishery and no GPS coordinates. We will publish no advertisements describing where these destinations are. We will do no magazine articles, TV shows or promotions that tell a wider audience where these spots exist. In other words, we are going to try and keep our mouths shut and fly "under the radar"!
This is where you come in. We're going to ask visiting anglers to do the same! That means no trip reports... good or bad. No "Angling Report" articles, no Internet trip reports. We will ask trip participants to keep as quiet as humanly possible about these destinations. We know we can't enforce this, but we can ask for a gentleman's agreement and we think most dedicated, hardcore anglers will see the logic in all this. If you don't agree or can't promise your cooperation, please don't sign up.
But if this idea makes sense to you (and you find yourself muttering to yourself, "It's about time"), please continue. Our goal is simple. We want to offer adventuresome anglers some remote and unpressured fishing opportunities and not destroy them in the process. If you think these trips may be right for you and are willing to "step outside the box" please log in and have a look at DESTINATION X.

Jason Kidd arrested
NBA veteran point guard Jason Kidd, recently acquired by the New York Knicks, was arrested for suspicion of drunken driving early on Sunday after a one-car crash, New York media outlets reported. The 39-year-old 10-time NBA All-Star was released on his own recognizance, the New York Post reported. Police sergeant Michael Burns of suburban Southampton told the New York Daily News that Kidd was arrested after crashing his Cadillac Escalade into a telephone pole. He was the only person in the car and was treated for minor injuries at a local hospital near his summer home in the Hamptons, the Daily News reported. The Knicks inked Kidd last week to a deal worth about US$3 million a year. It was thought that the Knicks might want Kidd to mentor young point guard Jeremy Lin, if New York opt to keep him. Knicks coach Mike Woodson had indicated last week that the Knicks would match any offer the Asian-American star received as a restricted free agent, but on Saturday, Newsday reported that the three-year, US$25.1 million offer sheet Lin signed with Houston on Saturday had the Knicks re-thinking that plan.
Kyrie Irving breaks hand
Reigning NBA rookie of the year Kyrie Irving broke his right hand on Saturday while practicing with the Cleveland Cavaliers' summer league squad. Irving, the first overall draft pick last year, fractured his hand after slapping a wall at the training facility. Irving was upset because he had just turned the ball over. The 20-year-old was taken to hospital where X-rays revealed the break. Irving is expected to travel back to Cleveland, Ohio, where he will be re-evaluated by team doctors. In 51 games last season, Irving averaged 18.5 points and 5.4 assists and won the league's Rookie of the Year trophy. He recently took part in scrimmages in Las Vegas against this year's USA Olympic men's basketball team. The Cavaliers are hoping he will be ready in time for training camp.
Australia change roster
Australia have rested all-rounder Shane Watson and quick bowler Ben Hilfenhaus and dropped batsman Peter Forrest from their squad to play a three-match one-day series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates starting next month. Watson was injured, while Forrest and Hilfenhaus struggled in the recent 4-0 series loss to England, and none was included in the 15-strong party, although Watson and Hilfenhaus were named in the Twenty20 squad that will play three matches in Dubai. The most surprising inclusion in both squads was little-known 23-year-old all rounder Glenn Maxwell, who has played just 11 first class matches for Victoria since his debut last year.
Bonnen worried about rib
Former world champion Tom Boonen admitted on Sunday he is facing a battle to be fit for the Olympics after breaking a rib in a fall during the Tour of Poland. The Belgian, who skipped the Tour de France to concentrate on his preparations for the Olympics, suffered the injury on the fifth stage of the Polish race on Saturday and underwent a medical check-up on Sunday. The checks underlined a fracture of the sixth rib on the right side of his chest. "There's nothing more to do than wait and see how the situation will evolve," Boonen said. "I'm sad because my condition is good and I really don't want to lose the chance to participate in the Olympics. On Thursday, I will have the answer that I'm waiting for."

The market was all over the place on the second day of this year's World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and the CNBC porter cabin that we called home simply exploded when news broke that one trader at French banking group Société Générale had managed to lose €5 billion. One business leader who will remain anonymous summed up the mood of most delegates when he used a number of four letter words to voice his despair at the damage the case would do to the financial services industry.
Tomorrow the bank's special committee of three non-executive directors will unveil a long-awaited report into how one 31-year-old trader was able to build up €50 billion in long positions and then fake hedges to give the impression the huge bets he was taking were low-risk. It is likely the report will portray a culture where returns in investment banking were more important than risk controls, and those making the cash were lionized as masters of the universe.
As Jerome Kerviel was arrested and the world's media descended on a small police station in Paris, the big question was: Did he act alone? Everyone wanted to know if someone within the bank had assisted him. But what has become clear in the months since the scandal broke is that while Kerviel's rogue trades where uniquely fraudulent, the entire industry was searching for returns at the expense of proper risk control.
Société Générale booked the loss on the fourth quarter of 2007 but actually returned to a profit in the first quarter of this year. Compare that with the huge subprime losses made at the likes of UBS , Citigroup and Merrill Lynch in the first three months of the year, and the French banking group appears to have been rather conservative in its management of risk.
The authors of tomorrow's report will be under pressure to reassure investors in the bank that this could never happen again. At the same time, they can't be so critical as to throw the group back into a turmoil that had many thinking it could lose its independence. I think a takeover of the bank now looks like a long shot, with both Credit Agricole and BNP Paribas shying away from talk of a bid. Moreover, Nicolas Sarkozy's government has made it very clear that a non-French takeover would be unwelcome.
What is very clear is that the rest of the industry will watch the findings of tomorrow's report and think something along the lines of, "It could have been us." Meanwhile, others raising huge amounts of cash to shore up balance sheets could be forgiven for secretly longing for problems as relatively minor as Société Générale's.

Maponics and Digital Map Products are pleased to present the webinar:
Hyper-local ROI: The Business Case for Search and Display at the Neighborhood Level
Is hyper-local just hype? The evidence suggests that Web sites and mobile apps that present information in terms that reflect local context resonate better with target users and will win in the long run. In terms of geography, the common denominator for local context is clearly the neighborhood. More than half the world's population lives in cities—and that portion is estimated to grow to 70% by 2050. Neighborhoods are the most common and natural way for people to talk about local places within cities—whether they are telling you where they live, where they hang-out with friends, or where to find the best pizza.
Join us for this webinar to learn more about the value of presenting your content or service at the hyper-local neighborhood level. We'll discuss how to make the business case for adding new hyper-local search and display options to your web site or mobile app. We'll illuminate the conversation with real use cases and show neighborhood boundaries in action within cool map displays. And of course, we'll answer your questions. Please join us!

RAoS #123 Shovelbums Guide Part 17: Township and Range
Archaeologists on the West coast, in many of the plains and central states, Alaska, and Hawaii are likely familiar with the Township and Range system. Here in the Great Basin and in surrounding states the "legal location" of a project area or an individual site is given in quarter quarter sections using the Township and Range System. But, what is the system and where do we get coordinates like T17N, R15E, Mount Diablo Meridian? Well, I'm glad you asked. I'll start with a short history of the rectangular survey system, also known as the Public Lands Survey System (PLSS).

Pope Andronicus of Alexandria, 37th Pope of Alexandria & Patriarch of the See of St. Mark.[1]
Early life[edit]
He was from a rich family of great influence and his cousin was the chief of the imperial court at Alexandria, Egypt. He was very well educated and he studied the holy scriptures and excelled in their interpretation. Because of his knowledge, his righteousness and his charity toward the poor, he was ordained a deacon. By consensus he was chosen to be patriarch, although he never lived in any monastery. He remained in Alexandria all the days of his papacy, not intimidated by the authority of the Melkites.
Sassanid conquest of Egypt from 618–621[edit]
Shortly after the ordination of Pope Andronicus, the Persian King Khosrau II and his army came with mighty power against the army of the Romans, and destroyed them utterly, and annihilated them. They took possession of the land of the Romans, and the cities of Halab & Antioch in Syria, and took captive the land of Jerusalem, Idumaea, and the land of Egypt. The Persians invaded outside the City of Alexandria, were there are 600 inhabited monasteries. The monks were independent, and insolent without fear, through their great wealth; and they did deeds of mockery. But the army of the Persians surrounded them on the west of the monasteries, and no place of refuge remained for them; and so they were all slain with the sword, except a few of them, who hid themselves, and so were safe. And all that was there of money and furniture was taken as plunder by the Persians; and they destroyed 600 monasteries located outside of Alexandria, which have remained in ruins to this day. When the people of in the City of Alexandria heard what they had done, because of their fear, they opened the gates of the city for them.
King Khosrau II saw in a night dream someone saying to him, "I have delivered to you the city. Do not destroy it. But kill its heroes for they are hypocrites." He arrested the Governor of the city, and tied him up in chains. He ordered the elders of the city to bring forth the men, from 18 to 50 years old to come forward to give everyone twenty denari, and to enlist them as soldiers for the city. 80,000 men came forward and he killed them all by the sword.
Afterward, the Persian King with his army invaded Upper Egypt. He passed by the city of Niciu, which is also called Ibshadi. He heard that there were some 700 monks living in cells and caves. So he sent his troops and surrounded them, and when the sun rose, they entered and slew all of them with the sword, and not one of them remained. King Khosrau II continued to kill and imprisoned many Christians until Byzantine, Emperor Heraclius conquered Egypt and drove him out.
After Pope Andronicus had accomplished six years in his patriarchal office, and had suffered from the Persians, and seen all these disasters, which he encountered and patiently endured, he went to his rest, and departed to the Lord in perfect peace, holding fast to the right faith, the faith of his fathers, on the 8th of Toba (January 16, 623).

You've read my post Why Won't He Commit? 7 Things You Can Do To Move Things Along. You've tried everything I've suggested, and now the only thing you're left wondering is how long do you wait to see if he comes around and gives you the kind of commitment that you're looking for? You're so not alone if this is where you're at. Of all the questions I'm asked, this is by far one of the most common.
The simple honest answer is you should never wait for someone to come around to commit to you! Honestly, if he isn't on that same page as you, open and in touch with himself enough to know what he wants and that he wants a committed relationship in the first place, before he met you, waiting around for him to come around to where he is finally ready for commitment to you is wasting your time.
He's not going to come around and commit to you because you're waiting for him. In fact, the very fact that he knows you're waiting for him, and willing to put your life on hold to wait to see if he does commit, lets him know that he's more important than you; that you value him more than you value yourself, and leaves him with no motivation to figure out what it is he's really looking for, why he's behaving like this with you, and what he would be losing when you finally give up on him and leave.
But more importantly, what does all of this waiting around do to you? What it does to your self-esteem, your self-confidence, your beautiful you as you send yourself the message that you are not worth anything better than this! That you don't deserve better than someone you have to wait around for to see if he'll one day be ready to give you the kind of commitment that you deserve – that every woman deserves. And you deserve to have it without having to convince someone of your worth!
If he doesn't know you're worth it by now, he never will.
Honestly, hear me loud and clear here. I can't tell you how many times I waited for someone to come around, for a real commitment, only to deal with the same cold, hard truth every single time: he was't ever going to commit no matter what I did or didn't do, no matter how long I waited. And I hear this same story over and over again repeated in the stories of women just like you who waited longer than they wished they had. He never came around for them either.
If he isn't committing to you now, he's not going to anytime soon.
We all buy into the same fantasy, thinking that if we're just more of what he is looking for; if we can just show him how we really are all that; if we can just become the woman of his dreams, then we can make him want to commit to us – is simply that. A fantasy. It may sell a lot of movie tickets and make for a great romance novel, but it isn't what reality is all about. It just doesn't happen like that in real life.
The real story.
He knows how you feel. He knows all that you have to offer him. He knows what you're looking for and he knows it's up to him to make the next move. He knows this commitment phobia is all about him even if he tries to put it on you and make you feel that you're doing something wrong. He knows there's something going on with him, some reason he just can't make himself commit to you, but the difference is he's not willing or able to change, to make it happen, even though he knows it will probably mean he will lose you in the end.
His own stuff is just too great to get him there. And this is not yours to carry! The more likely story is that he will end up learning more about himself and how he is in a relationship from his relationship with you and he will use it as a stepping stone to make his next relationship better. But the key point for you to take from this is that you can't change him. And losing you when he knows full well what he's losing isn't going to be enough to get him to make that commitment. It might help wake him up for next time, and it might even get him close. But the chance of him coming around while you're waiting just isn't the story that you're most likely to see happen.
So what do I do?
I know that so many of you are going to believe that your situation is different. That your guy is different. That he really is that close. And that's ok. I totally understand. I did too - many times. There is that small chance he will come around. So if you're going to wait, don't just wait. Live. Live your life. Don't think about him. Don't focus on him. Don't wonder what he's doing or try to figure him out. Don't obsess over what's going on. Don't pressure him. Don't keep talking to him about this.
Just do it.
Your actions will say so much more than your words. Don't be available. Be out living your life for real. Don't call him, be busy enough that you don't need to. It's not about playing games, it's about living your own passionate life, pursuing your own dreams, your own interests, your own life. And if he comes around while you're out living your own life, focusing on you; great.
But don't put your life on hold, your potential for meeting someone else on hold while waiting for him. You deserve so much more than this. And deep down inside, that beautiful woman who deserves only the best life and love have to offer knows this, too!

25.11.2019Researchers have created a virtual reality clinic to make it easier for stroke survivors to attend their physical and occupational therapy sessions. Results from a proof-of-concept study suggest that the technology – and the social connection it facilitates – are effective at encouraging therapy participation.
21.11.2019Rehabilitation is hard work – for the patient as well as for the therapist. Thousands of repetitions are necessary in order for previously known movement sequences to solidify again in the brain. This requires enormous physical effort and a lot of concentration. At MEDICA 2019 we will find out to what extent robotics can help here!
14.11.2019Delivering a diversified electric message to the different fibres of the injured spinal cord through a new technology able to deliver it in a targeted and independent manner. What is the result? Greater efficiency in recovering the control of voluntary limb movements in the event of serious damage to the spinal cord. This is the focus of the research study just published in Brain Stimulation.
13.11.2019Standard diagnostic methods are not adequate to identify prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) in patients with rheumatic diseases, according to findings from a new study by researchers from Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) in New York City. The study was presented at the American College of Rheumatology/Association of Rheumatology Professionals annual meeting in Atlanta on November 12.
11.10.2019Sensitive synthetic skin enables robots to sense their own bodies and surroundings - a crucial capability if they are to be in close contact with people. Inspired by human skin, a team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed a system combining artificial skin with control algorithms and used it to create the first autonomous humanoid robot with full-body artificial skin.
30.09.2019Just like our senses of hearing and vision, our sense of touch plays an important role in how we perceive and interact with the world around us. And technology capable of replicating our sense of touch – also known as haptic feedback – can greatly enhance human-computer and human-robot interfaces for applications such as medical rehabilitation and virtual reality.
20.09.2019A therapeutic shoe engineered to improve stroke recovery is proving successful and expected to hit the market by the end of the year. Clinical trials have been completed on the U.S. patented and licensed iStride Device, formerly the Gait Enhancing Mobile Shoe (GEMS), with results just published in the Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation.
22.08.2019The German Medical Award will take place on November 18, 2019, as part of the MEDICA trade fair in Düsseldorf. The ceremony emphasizes the commitment to excellence in cutting-edge care for patients. Doctors, clinical centers and companies in the medical and healthcare industry can demonstrate their achievements in medicine and management in hopes of receiving the coveted award.
01.07.2019Amateur and professional athletes are susceptible to sports injuries, balance disorders or deficits in motor function and posture. Prevention and the right training can help avoid these incidents, while targeted therapy can support a return to sports after an injury.
01.07.2019The benefits of aerobic exercise on various health outcomes and functional parameters are well established; similarly, the beneficial effects of resistance training on muscle strength and mass across all segment of the population have been reported extensively in the literature.
01.07.2019Those who integrate physical activities into their own lifestyle live healthier and more balanced. But where are the physical limits? Can health status measurements also be carried out on the road? Discover more about how sports medical examinations contribute to maintain performance and minimize health risks in our Topic of the Month.
01.07.2019Physical activity plays a big role in today's society. Whether you are an amateur or professional athlete – incorporating exercise into your life positively impacts your mental and physical health. Ideally, sport should be fun, pressure-free and not overburden you. But can you measure individual performance and align it with sports?
01.07.2019Stationary or mobile - competitive athletes rely on regular health assessments. They must deliver peak performance and be physically fit during competitions. But when do they reach their physical limits? Are there any devices that provide information, no matter where the test subject is located?
03.06.2019For most people, enjoying a good quality of life means having the ability to move freely, safely and independently. Intensive and costly rehabilitation is needed if this is no longer an option after a stroke for example. We are introducing some projects that deliver innovative robotic solutions.
03.06.2019Humans are living longer than ever but still want to continue to live independently as they age. Meanwhile, our motor and cognitive abilities decline as we age, sometimes as the effects of a stroke. The number of people in need of long-term care is growing at breakneck speed. At the same time, fewer and fewer young people choose stressful careers as caregivers.
03.06.2019They work with power, precision and tirelessly. This makes robots an ideal instrument for rehabilitation. In gait or motor training, movement sequences must be repeated thousands of times so that they can be learnt anew. What tires the patient and costs the therapist's time can easily be managed by robot-assisted systems. Learn more about the possibilities of robotics in rehabilitation.
03.06.2019It takes consistent repetitions if rehab patients want to relearn skills after surviving a stroke. This requires extreme effort. The industrial sector uses robots to perform repetitive tasks or handle jobs that require strength. What has been a fixture in factories for decades is now also making its way into rehabilitation facilities.
10.12.2018So far, lower arm prostheses often only functioned as a cosmetic disguise to conceal the missing body part. While newer models help the wearer with grip patterns, every hand grip has to be readjusted and newly activated. There is still no prosthetic device that is easy to control and allows a flexible response to objects the wearer is grasping.
15.11.2018Optimal adaptation to the patient's body, easy and fast operation, high-quality and sustainable materials – physiotherapeutic devices have to meet a multitude of requirements. Thanks to the cooperation between research and technology, these can be further optimized. We can see such an innovation at the gymna stand at MEDICA 2018.
15.11.2018After accidents or surgery, a good rehabilitation is indispensable for patients. This is true all around the world. We learn more about the international rehabilitation market here at the stand of proxomed at MEDICA 2018.
14.11.2018Whether with or without disability, one-handed typing could make our work more efficient. You can't imagining this on a standard keyboard? The developer of TiPY can't do too. But in the interview at MEDICA 2018 he gives the answer how it could work in the future.
14.11.2018Whether taping, motoric rehabilitation or gamification - physiotherapy today is diverse. More than 500 specific exhibitors in Halls 4 and 5 at MEDICA 2018 will be demonstrating exactly what the world of physiotherapy has to offer.
10.09.2018About eight in ten Germans suffer from back pain during their lifetime. Too much or the wrong movements can also cause problems. "Ran Rücken", the interdisciplinary research project aims to determine the right minimum dose of exercise that proves effective. (Explanatory note: "Ran Rücken" can be loosely translated as "Target the Back")
21.06.2018Biomechanical measuring systems are used in orthopedics to diagnose and treat misalignments and diseases. The Velamed Company uses its high-tech solutions to measure biomechanical parameters that enable a holistic analysis of human movement and posture. We took a closer look at how this works.
02.05.2018X-rays for diagnostic imaging and therapy evaluation are still the norm in orthopedics. Meanwhile, patients who frequently need X-rays are repeatedly exposed to radiation. That's why the University Hospital RWTH Aachen uses and develops methods that are not just radiation-free but can also capture motions.
15.11.2017The digitalisation of the health care system is making great strides forward. In order to give further impetus to this trend, the Health-i Award brings together experts from business, science and health. In the MEDICA ECON FORUM by TK three promising start-ups were presented.
14.11.2017Gaming is an activity that children as well as adults enjoy. They are fun and challenge our stamina. That's why serious games are increasingly becoming popluar in physiotherapy and rehabilitation. MEDICA 2017 demonstrates already what applications are available here.
31.08.2017The term gamification refers to the application of elements of game playing in non-game contexts, for example, to encourage participants to engage in a task that is otherwise deemed too monotonous. We are visiting the German Sport University Cologne to interview Dr. Boris Feodoroff, who together with his team is testing a training device.
01.06.2017After a stroke or as a result of aging, there are many situations when people are impaired in their walking ability and rely on a personal assistant or auxiliary aids and services. The XoSoft Project offers a solution: a soft exoskeleton that can be worn like a pair of leggings and stiffens or softens, depending on the situation.
01.06.2017A stroke, an accident or just because you are aging – there are many reasons to take advantage of physiotherapeutic or rehabilitative measures. More and more new technologies are designed to support patients in this process. They run the gamut from sensor technology and robotics to exergames and virtual reality.
01.06.2017Movement is good for health, but people do it less and less as they age. The Dutch company SilverFit wants to counteract this. Their devices that combine sport and game are primarily aimed at elderly people. Their goal: to give people joy, fun and motivation to move – both in rehabilitation and in daily life.

Moretz in talks for Kick-Ass 2
Chloe Moretz has not officially signed on for Kick-Ass 2, the film's writer and director Jeff Wadlow has revealed.
Jeff - who has taken over from director Matthew Vaughn - admitted that the 15-year-old actress, who currently stars in Tim Burton's Dark Shadows, is still in talks to reprise her role as Hit-Girl in the highly anticipated follow-up, reported Collider.
"Her story is a major, major part of the film and she's excited about the ideas and we're in talks," he said at the Kapow! Comic Convention.
Jeff has expanded Hit-Girl's background: "If you've read the comic, you know, she gives up being Hit-Girl, which was a brilliant idea. It's something I explore quite deeply in the movie, because what happens in the comic is she sort of steps away from the story in many ways... But I was quite interested in what happens to her when she's not being Hit-Girl."
The writer-director added: "What I certainly loved about the first film, and what I think elevated it above most comic book adaptations, is the heart and the emotion in the film. It was sort of my challenge as the filmmaker and storyteller to find something as emotional in the second film and I think we have some stuff that people are gonna really respond to."
Aaron Johnson and Christopher Mintz-Plasse are tipped to return for Kick-Ass 2, which is expected to start shooting in September.

Specifically, is Accounts Payable considered debt for this purpose?, the answer is no.But if you let them go for 10 days or so, you forfeit a 2% to 10% discount, and may start incurring interest and service charges after 30. I worked for a large outfit that could get away with it, so they tended to let their A/P go 90 days or more and made money on the difference that more than covered the interest and charges (they are not succeeding at that anymore and I would no longer touch their stock with any of my money). But before that, I worked for a small outfit and they paid within 10 days.So should not A/P be divided into two pieces? Non-debt: which forfeits no discounts, pays no interest and service charges. Debt: which has forfeited discounts, pays service charges and interest.
