First up is the 6mm ruined factory from Gamecraft Miniatures, with a roof added on by me, as well as doors and ruined walls made from Gamecraft's ruined floors. This is the front, complete with Nazi eagle. The front pillars etc. were painted as being fancier than the basic walls, and show up a big grubbier looking in real life, the white reflected the flashbulb well in this pic:
Here's an interior shot, the office area is where the turquoise walls are, the rest was factory:
Another view of the interior, showing the one problem area I had, what to do with the reverse side of that fancy entranceway. It was either try to paint by hand the windows and door, or...
Build a pile of rubble to put in front of the blank wall to cover up that it doesn't match the exterior. This is what I came up with, a wooden base with some cork bits, tin foil paper, a pin or two, and the sprue from a set of Shapeways aircraft I'd recently prepped. I also used some cardstock as roof/upper floor pieces.
A close-up of it. I'd built it so one side, that would go up against the wall, was supposed to be tall and cover up the blankness, but as you'll see in the next pic, somehow I misjudged the height and it's still short. Not sure what I'll do, either make another or keep adding to this. I do like the bits.
The rubble in place - as you can see, the wall isn't really covered at all.
The temperature and humidity around here finally broke this week, after 3 weeks of high temps and humidity that meant I didn't really want to do any critical painting or decalling. But with this window of opportunity, I finally decalled up some tanks that have taken way too long to finish.
This is the whole collection, although the American halftracks and armored cars still need final detailing before they get their decals (I also have to figure out where the decals go on them!).
British Comets to the centre and left, one of those American halftracks on the right:
ISU-152 up close:
More ISU-152s!
On the left a couple of T-34/85s, I did a pack of 5 (all of these are GHQ), 3 in one platoon, 2 in the other. The T-34/85 up front is obviously a hero of the Soviet Union with all those kills on the barrel! Decals here are a mix of GHQ and I-94.
The other platoon (2 tank platoon) of T-34/85s.
My fleet of JS-3s! These heavy tanks were in platoons of 2, so my five-pack gave me 2 platoons and a HQ tank. The red numbering and star didn't show up as well as I'd hoped, but within historical reality.
Another view of the JS-3s.

|Chapter XVIII. Faith and Works
|Next »
CHAPTER XVIII141141This chapter supplies an important clue to the date of the Enchiridion and an interesting side light on Augustine's inclination to re-use "good material." In his treatise on The Eight Questions of Dulcitius (De octo Dulcitii quaestionibus), 1: 10–13, Augustine quotes this entire chapter as a part of his answer to the question whether those who sin after baptism are ever delivered from hell. The date of the De octo is 422 or, possibly, 423; thus we have a terminus ad quem for the date of the Enchiridion. Still the best text of De octo is Migne, PL, 40, c. 147–170, and the best English translation is in Deferrari, St. Augustine: Treatises on Various Subjects (The Fathers of the Church, New York, 1952), pp. 427–466.: Faith and Works
67. There are some, indeed, who believe that those who do not abandon the name of Christ, and who are baptized in his laver in the Church, who are not cut off from it by schism or heresy, who may then live in sins however great, not washing them away by repentance, nor redeeming them by alms—and who obstinately persevere in them to life's last day—even these will still be saved, "though as by fire." They believe that such people will be punished by fire, prolonged in proportion to their sins, but still not eternal.
But those who believe thus, and still are Catholics, are deceived, as it seems to me, by a kind of merely human benevolence. For the divine Scripture, when consulted, answers differently. Moreover, I have written a book about this question, entitled Faith and Works,142142A short treatise, written in 413, in which Augustine seeks to combine the Pauline and Jacobite emphases by analyzing what kind of faith and what kind of works are both essential to salvation. The best text is that of Joseph Zycha in CSEL, Vol. 41, pp. 35-97; but see also Migne, PL, 40, c. 197–230. There is an English translation by C.L. Cornish in A Library of Fathers of the Holy Catholic Church; Seventeen Short Treatises, pp. 37–84. in which, with God's help, I have shown as best I could that, according to Holy Scripture, the faith that saves is the faith that the apostle Paul adequately describes when he says, "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision, but the faith which works through love."143143Gal. 5:6. But if faith works evil and not good, then without doubt, according to the apostle James "it is dead in itself."144144James 2:17. He then goes on to say, "If a man says he has faith, yet has not works, can his faith be enough to save him?"145145James 2:14.
Now, if the wicked man were to be saved by fire on account of his faith only, and if this is the way the statement of the blessed Paul should be understood—"But he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire"146146I Cor. 3:15.—then faith without works would be sufficient to salvation. But then what the apostle James said would be false. And also false would be another statement of the same Paul himself: "Do not err," he says; "neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the unmanly, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the Kingdom of God."147147I Cor. 6:9, 10. Now, if those who persist in such crimes as these are nevertheless saved by their faith in Christ, would they not then be in the Kingdom of God?
68. But, since these fully plain and most pertinent apostolic testimonies cannot be false, that one obscure saying about those who build on "the foundation, which is Christ, not gold, silver, and precious stones, but wood, hay, and stubble"148148I Cor. 3:11, 12.—for it is about these it is said that they will be saved as by fire, not perishing on account of the saving worth of their foundation—such a statement must be interpreted so that it does not contradict these fully plain testimonies.
In fact, wood and hay and stubble may be understood, without absurdity, to signify such an attachment to those worldly things—albeit legitimate in themselves—that one cannot suffer their loss without anguish in the soul. Now, when such anguish "burns," and Christ still holds his place as foundation in the heart—that is, if nothing is preferred to him and if the man whose anguish "burns" would still prefer to suffer loss of the things he greatly loves than to lose Christ—then one is saved, "by fire." But if, in time of testing, he should prefer to hold onto these temporal and worldly goods rather than to Christ, he does not have him as foundation—because he has put "things" in the first place—whereas in a building nothing comes before the foundations.
Now, this fire, of which the apostle speaks, should be understood as one through which both kinds of men must pass: that is, the man who builds with gold, silver, and precious stones on this foundation and also the man who builds with wood, hay, and stubble. For, when he had spoken of this, he added: "The fire shall try every man's work, of what sort it is. If any man's work abides which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work burns up, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire."149149I Cor. 3:11–15. Therefore the fire will test the work, not only of the one, but of both.
The fire is a sort of trial of affliction, concerning which it is clearly written elsewhere: "The furnace tries the potter's vessels and the trial of affliction tests righteous men."150150Ecclus. 27:5. This kind of fire works in the span of this life, just as the apostle said, as it affects the two different kinds of faithful men. There is, for example, the man who "thinks of the things of God, how he may please God." Such a man builds on Christ the foundation, with gold, silver, and precious stones. The other man "thinks about the things of the world, how he may please his wife"151151Cf. I Cor. 7:32, 33.; that is, he builds upon the same foundation with wood, hay, and stubble. The work of the former is not burned up, since he has not loved those things whose loss brings anguish. But the work of the latter is burned up, since things are not lost without anguish when they have been loved with a possessive love. But because, in this second situation, he prefers to suffer the loss of these things rather than losing Christ, and does not desert Christ from fear of losing such things—even though he may grieve over his loss—"he is saved," indeed, "yet so as by fire." He "burns" with grief, for the things he has loved and lost, but this does not subvert nor consume him, secured as he is by the stability and the indestructibility of his foundation.
69. It is not incredible that something like this should occur after this life, whether or not it is a matter for fruitful inquiry. It may be discovered or remain hidden whether some of the faithful are sooner or later to be saved by a sort of purgatorial fire, in proportion as they have loved the goods that perish, and in proportion to their attachment to them. However, this does not apply to those of whom it was said, "They shall not possess the Kingdom of God,"152152See above, XVIII, 67. unless their crimes are remitted through due repentance. I say "due repentance" to signify that they must not be barren of almsgiving, on which divine Scripture lays so much stress that our Lord tells us in advance that, on the bare basis of fruitfulness in alms, he will impute merit to those on his right hand; and, on the same basis of unfruitfulness, demerit to those on his left—when he shall say to the former, "Come, blessed of my Father, receive the Kingdom," but to the latter, "Depart into everlasting fire."153153Matt. 25:34, 41.

Thinking about chapter 13 bankruptcy?
Your finances got out of your control—yet you know you can make it back. Chapter 13 bankruptcy might be the best solution to reverse your financial fortunes. The bankruptcy attorneys at Mooney Law have decades of experience helping our clients understand chapter 13 bankruptcy, file for it correctly, and recover afterward. When serving as a bankruptcy lawyer for a client going through bankruptcy our role is as an advisor and legal representative. When it comes to chapter 13 bankruptcy, we handle:
- Chapter 13 consultation
- Chapter 13 creditors hearing (341 hearing)
- Chapter 13 confirmation hearing
- Preventing foreclosure
- Debt collection abuse
- Chapter 7 bankruptcy
While considering options to eliminate your debts without foreclosure, you may have heard about debt settlement companies. Debt settlement companies are mostly scams. Avoid them. Generally, they get you to pay their fees for approximately two years and tell you to not pay the creditor while they "work on" getting the debt reduced. The debt settlement companies are only required by law to settle one debt before taking your payment so they will settle the lowest amount owed first. They know it is very likely that you will be sued prior to their completion—so they make a profit without being held accountable. While they make lofty promises, they don't deliver. You can read more here. Instead, trust the personal bankruptcy attorneys of Mooney Law.

(with Biot-Savart)
Made in about two days, this is my entry to the informal TIGSource Love Letter Competition. It is a game about a little lovesick positive electrical charge, who wishes to meet with the object of his affections: a negative electrical charge. The game has a lot of meaning, both with respect to the competition theme and with respect to certain physics concepts.
Place positive charges with the mouse; these positive charges will repel the main character, hopefully guiding him through the level in order to reach the negative charge.
Magnetic fields will also adjust your trajectory.
<R> or <SPACE> restarts a level.
The game features a custom-built physics engine (for the repelling charges, as well as the magnetic fields and gravity), which I am quite proud of considering it was made with GM4.3. I made it on Vista, so it should work on Vista. There are a few minor glitches, but nothing is detrimental to the gameplay.
As far as background information about the title, "Coulomb's Law" describes forces which act on charges from other charges, "Biot-Savart's Law" describes forces which act on moving charges from a magnetic field.

Clementine Bihiga
Clementine Bihiga is an inspirational public speaker and the author of "Happily Broken: Discovering Happiness Through Pain and Suffering". At the age of eight, Clementine and her family were forced to flee their home in Rwanda due to the Genocide and Civil war of 1994 which killed almost a million people in 3 months. Clementine and her family lived as refugees in multiple refugee camps and settlements before they were admitted to the USA in 1999 as refugees. Clementine who faced many life and death situations at a young age including living in refugee camps and waking up among the dead, being bullied as a high school student and losing a daughter, has turned her tragic past into a positive calling of inspiring others to never give up. When Clementine climbed on a "log" in lake Kivu trying to rescue a shirt taken by the waves and finally realizing it was a dead body, she could have given up. When she was almost beaten to death by a motorist on her way home, she could have given up. When she woke up among dead bodies claimed by Malaria, Typhoid, Cholera, etc. she could have given up hope. When she got to the USA and was bullied in high school for being different every single day, she would have quit and given up. Life was unforgiving for Clementine, but she pressed on. Clementine is a prolific linguist who speaks 5 languages, she is actively involved with many organizations such as the Student Leadership Council, World Youth Alliance, the United Nations Agents of Change, the Human Rights Committee, The Student Achievement in Research and Scholarships and the Student Advisory Committee for Foreign Discrimination. Clementine was also selected to be on a panel of the Africana Studies at the Stander Symposium and a panel on International Discrimination. Clementine was able to work as a Campaign Fellow for the United WayShe and intern at the New York State Attorney General's Office. While still in college. After college, Clementine and her husband Chris, who she met in a refugee settlement in Kenya were married. They became proud parents of a son in 2011. As a full-time mother and a full-time employee in Healthcare sales, Clementine decided to also get her Masters Degree. She accomplished this in one year and graduate with a 3.9 GPA with a Masters in Public Administration in HealthCare Administration and also earned a promotion at work for exceeding her sales goals by 160% the same year! She can be seen speaking at many conferences and groups on topics of Self-esteem, Resilience, Working Together, Bullying and Transforming Pain into Happiness

Will the next mayor restore New York's battered, post-9/11 economy? The candidates' recovery plans don't inspire much confidence.
Most of Mark Green's answers come out of the 1930s. And while Michael Bloomberg seems to have learned a few lessons from the '90s, he's still reluctant to embrace the most growth-oriented elements of the Giuliani philosophy.
Neither man shows a willingness to rethink the size and scope of New York City's government - something this overtaxed city needs now more than ever.
The city's economic boom had already crested before the attack, but New York still enjoyed advantages due to its uniquely strong concentration of human talent and financial muscle. But since 9/11, many individuals and businesses previously committed to the city are wondering whether it's worth paying a heavy premium in taxes and other costs to stay here. The men who would be mayor continue to miss this point.
Green's recovery plan, as set forth in two campaign papers, combines stepped-up government activism with a stimulus package straight out of the New Deal. In his view, New York needs nothing less than "sustained and massive federal assistance" to pay for "the most aggressive building program since the Great Depression."
But Washington's not likely to play ball. President Bush and both parties in Congress are already balking at Gov. Pataki's request for more than double the $20 billion in federal relief and rebuilding aid already committed to the city.
Green's speech to business leaders this week rightly emphasized the urgency of restoring a livable and businesslike environment in lower Manhatan. He also stressed the need for federal, state and city tax relief, at least on a targeted basis. This is an encouraging sign, coming from someone never before known for believing that tax cuts accomplish anything.
But Green wrapped up the same speech with a reference to his earlier proposal to invest $5.6 billion of city funds in 150,000 new and renovated housing units over the next decade. That money would be far better spent on basic infrastructure improvements that will be essential to promoting renewed economic growth and development.
One way or another, Green's recovery prescriptions essentially boil down to more government. He proposes the creation of a "city-state, private-public, business-labor authority," to be known as the New York Economic Redevelopment Authority. It would function as a "super-agency," armed with "emergency redevelopment powers" to "cut through red tape" and "override time-consuming zoning regulations" to executive a "comprehensive plan" for economic revitalization.
This proposal at least has had the benefit of drawing a sharp distinction between the two candidates - for Bloomberg flatly rejects it: "We do not need another bureaucratic agency to handle the recovery [and] clean up effort."
Bloomberg, like Green, has now ruled out any city tax hikes - but unlike Green, he has done so unequivocally and in writing. "Higher taxes are a disincentive to those considering moving into the city - and encourage those already here to leave," he says.
Bloomberg recognizes that the city budget will continue expanding unless something is done to reduce personnel costs - another issue on which Green's plans are silent. But he offers no details on how he would accomplish this, other than promising a closer "partnership" with labor to identify "gain-sharing" opportunities via improved productivity - something Mayor Giuliani pursued with little significant success.
Unfortunately, the GOP candidate also continues to steer clear of even hinting that New York's heavy taxes should be cut. His plan has no mention of repealing the city's unique and indefensible commercial rent tax, or of reducing a property tax burden that is 73 percent above the regional median for commercial buildings.
Bloomberg's plan would be stronger if he listened more closely to Giuliani, who has stressed that New York's taxes are still too high and that continued tax cuts would help save a city economy now struggling to retain firms dislocated by the World Trade Center catastrophe.
Bloomberg's sprawling, 8,800-word "economic blueprint" also contains more than few serious clinkers. Take his suggestion that the city be allowed to run deficits greater than the $100 million limit that would trigger state control of the city budget under current law. Is there a better way to undermine 25 years' worth of hard-won investor confidence in the city's financial management? And there's no evidence that it's even necessary at this point.
Another discordant note in Bloomberg's blueprint is an offer to enter into "project-labor agreements" (PLAs) with unions that agree to invest their pension funds in new office and housing construction in the city. This essentially hands unionized contractors an ironclad monopoly on public projects, and would simply drive up already sky-high construction costs in New York.
Both candidates recognize the Sept. 11 attacks dramatically altered New York's fiscal and economic picture. But this much is unchanged: New York City remains an exceptionally expensive place to live, work and do business - and its stifling tax burden is largely to blame. So far, neither Green nor Bloomberg has even begun to address the problem.

Send in the Blue Shirts!
UN 'blue helmets' have been deployed since the 1950s to 'keep the peace' in places like Cyprus, Lebanon, Liberia, Guatemala… How successful they have been at keeping the peace is disputable. What is beyond dispute is that the use of military forces for 'peacekeeping', 'peace' operations and supposedly 'humanitarian' purposes in general has become the main or even sole justification in modern society for maintaining such forces and for deploying them to other countries, even in a war-fighting capacity. Of course wars are fought for all kinds of political and economic reasons and rarely for a truly 'humanitarian' purpose. Nevertheless governments must be able to justify the use of public money and the loss of human lives in terms that are acceptable to the general public. Tony Blair could not have sent UK troops to Kosovo or even to Sierra Leone without justifying these interventions as 'humanitarian' ones. Although the war in Afghanistan was generally accepted as a punitive response to 9/11, even this was justified at the time in terms of the need to 'rescue' the Afghani people from the evils of the Taliban – just as the Iraq War was needed to 'rescue' the Iraqi people from Saddam Hussein, as well as to rescue us from those famous weapons of mass destruction.
If we were to give the British people the benefit of the doubt and assume they are not so stupid or gullible as to swallow wholesale every piece of propaganda they get from the government, then we would be obliged to accept that so long as there does not appear to be any better way of dealing with natural and man-made disasters than to send in the army from time to time, they will continue to support and pay for standing military forces in order to be able to do just that. That indeed is the fundamental paradox facing UK and European pacifists in the 21st century – armies are increasingly justified as an essential tool for building and maintaining peace in the world! And you are in favour of world peace, aren't you??!
Few pacifists may be willing to admit that in some cases, UK and other military forces have been a force for peace. They do on occasion stop other people from shooting each other and therefore occasionally save lives rather than destroy them. But of course in places like Afghanistan and Iraq the pretence of 'peacekeeping' has been largely abandoned and the armed forces are just doing what they do best, which is to fight wars and kill people – and in the process create more enemies for the future and put all our lives in more danger than they were before. Even when military forces are deployed with a strict peacekeeping mandate, as in the case of Somalia in the early 90s, their presence can still exacerbate the violence rather than reduce it, since military forces by their very nature are protagonists in a war environment, with military assets that other protagonists would like to have or at least to neutralise. They are also, by their very nature, set apart from civilian populations and unable to fully integrate with them except by taking off their weapons and uniforms and becoming civilians themselves.
For these and many other reasons (including above all, cost), even the most militaristic of governments is looking for alternatives to the deployment of military forces to each and every conflict zone in the word today. The sending of police forces rather than military forces is becoming more popular with the EU, for instance. These police forces still on the whole carry weapons, but there is a recognition that having police patrol the streets of Kosovo, for instance, is much more likely to lead to a return to normal life and to the establishment of democratic institutions than having troops still patrolling the streets a full nine years after the war has ended.
Getting blue (police) uniforms onto the streets of post-conflict countries like Kosovo is surely a step forward from sending in the tanks and blue helmets. But not only are these police still armed, they also have little or no training or background in how to handle real conflict situations. They are trained to deal with criminal behaviour and crowds. Police crowd control techniques may be useful in some cases for avoiding violence, but in other cases it can clearly fuel it, as was the case a few years ago when violence erupted in northern Kosovo largely through a mishandling of the situation by the international police. In fact, police forces have so far proved less effective than military forces in these situations, largely because their ability to prevent and deter violent behaviour depends ultimately on the use of force and unlike the military they don't actually have any.
A true alternative to military peacekeeping must therefore rely on forms of pressure and influence other than the use of force. Foreign journalists and diplomats have known for years that it's not just the stories they send back home that can have an impact. Just by being there, being visible and being foreign, they can have a very direct impact on the behaviour of soldiers and politicians in wartime situations and this impact can reduce violence and save lives. Col. Bob Stewart describes a time when he was commanding NATO troops in Bosnia and a column of Nato tanks was being held up at a Serbian checkpoint and not let through. He could have opened fire on the checkpoint, killed all the Serb soldiers and forced his way through the checkpoint, but the repercussions of that could have resulted in even more civilian casualties, with reprisals against the local population, round-ups, burning of houses, maybe even massacres. Instead he brought out the most powerful weapon he had at his disposal – the BBC! He sent them to the front of the tanks to start filming and interviewing the Serb soldiers. Within minutes, the tanks were through the checkpoint without a shot being fired.
In 1983, at the height of the US-sponsored Contra War in Nicaragua, small groups of Americans were going down to Nicaragua to see for themselves what was going on so they could go home and tell their fellow church-goers how their tax dollars were being spent. But time and again, they would go to a village that was being attacked by the Contras only to find that when they got there the attacks would stop. This led to the realisation that if a constant stream of Americans were pouring into these villages on a regular basis there would be no more Contra War! Over the next several years more than 20,000 people did just that and the ability of the Reagan administration to covertly overthrow the Sandinistas through the Contras was demonstrably curtailed.
No organisation has invested as much into this very simple concept as Peace Brigades International. Beginning also in the early 1980s, PBI volunteers discovered in Guatemala that by being present, being visible and being foreign they could actually stop death threats from being carried out against peace and human rights activists there. In El Salvador, where industrial disputes routinely resulted in the assassination or disappearance of trade union leaders, PBI volunteers were suddenly witnessing strikes, pickets and demonstrations that would end successfully without a single casualty. In over 25 years of providing this kind of protection in some of the most violent countries on the planet, not a single PBI volunteer has been killed – and even more strikingly, nor has a single person they have been accompanying.
There is, of course, much more to this than meets the eye. International presence and protective accompaniment does not always save lives or reduce violence. Other factors must also be in place and a lot of work must go on behind the scenes to back up the physical presence on the ground. Nevertheless, the fact that this presence can have any effect at all is remarkable and ground-breaking. Since the early days of PBI and Witness for Peace in Central America, the technique has been tried out by many other organisations in many other parts of the world, nowhere more so than in the Middle East, where dozens of organisations are deploying internationals to protect Palestinian civilians from Israeli settlers and the Israeli Defence Forces. These organisations range from the World Council of Churches, with its Ecumenical Accompaniment Project for Palestine and Israel (EAPPI), to the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), with its olive-picking brigades and other efforts to get internationals to physically obstruct Israeli activities on the West Bank. The Women's International Peace Service for Palestine gets women from other parts of the world to live and work in Palestinian homes and communities as a means of providing protection. Grassroots Protection of the Palestinian People organises summer camps and other events to get as many internationals into the West Bank as possible on a regular and ongoing basis.
In Palestine – and in Iraq – people have been killed doing this kind of work. And it clearly has not stopped the violence in these places. Yet these experiences are also demonstrating what is possible and we are all learning from them – from the successes as well as from the mistakes. The deployment of unarmed civilians from around the world into situations of violent conflict can protect people, save lives and reduce the incidence of violence. We are still at the very beginning of understanding what this discovery really means and how to use it. Perhaps it could transform the way people think about violent conflicts and how to handle them in the future. Perhaps instead of sending in the blue helmets or the blue uniforms next time violence erupts in Kosovo or Georgia or some other place, there will be a clamour for sending in the 'blue shirts' instead!
If pacifists really want to abolish the military and all that goes with it, we must first abolish the last remaining justification for it in the eyes of the general public. We must make unarmed civilian peacekeeping a viable option and one which can genuinely respond to humanitarian emergencies, war, genocide and ethnic cleansing. We still have a long way to go but the seeds of that possibility are there. The Nonviolent Peaceforce is the latest attempt to turn that possibility into a full-scale reality. It was launched in 2002 as an initiative of 75 peace organisations from over 30 countries to try to move the concept of unarmed civilian peacekeeping onto a new level, through advocacy at the UN level and a pooling of resources so as to deploy larger-scale international missions than any of the existing organisations have so far been able to deploy. Its first project in Sri Lanka currently has over 60 people deployed, both nationals as well as internationals from the UK, US, Germany, Egypt, Brazil, Japan, Ghana, Kenya, Pakistan, Nepal, Canada, Colombia, India, Philippines, Nigeria. Its impact is still quite small but the potential is there. It needs your support!

Advent IM continues G-Cloud availability, joining G-Cloud 9
The UK's leading independent, holistic security consultancy announced today it will continue to be available on G-Cloud through the latest iteration, G-Cloud 9, from 22nd May 2017.
The UK based security consultancy today confirmed that its longstanding relationship with the Crown Commercial Service platform, G-Cloud, will continue into the latest iteration, allowing public bodies to directly procure services without need for a comprehensive tender process, and benefiting from preferential rates that reflect the easier procurement process.
Advent IM Director, Julia McCarron said, "We have been involved with G-Cloud since the platform's first release and have found it to be a highly effective framework for SMBs to do business with the government and public bodies. We are pleased to be appearing on the latest version of this important and widely used resource. We know how essential it is for smaller businesses to have a simple route to market where services can be easily found and procured; G-Cloud fulfils its potential very well from our perspective and over the years has brought many new clients and projects through our doors."
The Crown Commercial Service is a commercial service for Government, acting on behalf of the Crown, to drive savings for the taxpayer through an integrated commercial and procurement service for the public sector. Its vision is to deliver value for the nation through outstanding commercial capability and quality customer service.

The Etruscans
The Etruscans
Of all the peoples of antiquity, the Etruscans today occupy a very special place in our eyes. Their long history on the soil of the Italian peninsula began in the early years of the 7th century B.C. and came to an end only a very short time before the Christian era. At war, first against the Greeks, with whom they disputed the hegemony of the Mediterranean, then against the Romans, who were compelled to fight hard before subjugating them, the Etruscans occupy a place of considerable importance in the works of authors in both the Greek and Latin tongues. Their name, which once inspired such fear, occurs constantly in the Annals of Livy; and Virgil, in his epic description of the origins of Rome, makes a point of relating in broad outline the exploits of the dashing horsemen of ancient Tuscany. Even today, traces of Etruscan cities and burial grounds are very numerous in Umbria, Tuscany and Latium. Over the centuries, chance discoveries and organised excavations have brought to light an immense number of objects of all kinds--sculptures, paintings and products of the minor arts--deriving from the studios and workshops of Etruria. These objects are now the pride and glory of private collections and museums in both Europe and America.
But in spite of the evocative power of them relies, which conjure up out of the darkness aspects of a highly developed but now extinct civilisation, in spite of all this evidence provided by its plastic art, which is both of great historical interest and of rare artistic value, Etruria still presents scientists and laymen alike with a mysterious and obscure phenomenon. Nor do centuries of patient attempts and persistent efforts appear to have succeeded so far in penetrating the veil of mystery behind which she shelters.

- Shouldn't nested CPR help a lot with Complex-heavy code? Is there something in nofib?
- Try passing CPR information from the scrunitee to the pattern variables. For that: Reverse flow of analysis for complex scrunitees (for simple, we want the demand coming from the body, for complex, this is not so important.)
- Check nofib of better-ho-cardinality and possibly merge into master, including all non-nested-cpr improvements from the nested-cpr branch.
- Why is
cacheprofnot deterministic?
- Use ticky-profiling to learn more about the effects of nested CPR.
- Look at DmdAnal-related [SLPJ-Tickets] and see which ones are affected by nested-cpr.

Oklahoma City has opened the season with two straight wins thanks to contributions up and down the lineup. Thabo Sefolosha and Nenad Krstic have filled out an improved starting five, while vets like Kevin Ollie, Etan Thomas and Nick Collison have helped solidify the second unit.
Thunder coach Scott Brooks also noted that the physical gifts of many on the roster translate to more than scoring. Oklahoma City, back home Sunday against Portland, has held Sacramento and Detroit to an average of 86 points through two games.
"We should be able to score off of our defense by creating opportunities in transition, utilize our long athletic players on the wings," Brooks said.
THUNDER 91, PISTONS 83: Oklahoma City remained undefeated after two games by winning in a building that's given the franchise fits. The Thunder had dropped five straight and 10 of 11 at The Palace.
Kevin Durant led Oklahoma City with 25 points, with 11 coming in the fourth quarter. Jeff Green, Nenad Krstic and Russell Westbrook were also in double-figures. The Pistons were outscored 53-38 in the second half.
The last time the Thunder franchise started 2-0 was 2003-04 season when it was still in Seattle. Oklahoma City started 1-16 last season and didn't pick up its second win until Nov. 29.

Enhancers 101
Welcome back team!
With backers and preorders fulfilled, we felt this a great time to release our first booster pack expansion: ENHANCERS.
What the heck are they?
Enhancers are the fifth type of card you will add to the game. These can only be played with another card. You can make a Fire Hose 'freezing' and a Super Herb 'Gluten-Free' for instance.
How do they work?
Any time you play a card on a player and they choose not to react to it, you may add an enhancer card to it. That player may then have another opportunity to react to it. For example, if you play the 'Molotov' and the target player decides not to play their 'Reflector,' you may choose to then say "And it's a Poisonous Mortar," adding the 'And it's Poisonous' as you do, with gusto of course. Then that player may choose to reflect the card.
What else can they do?
This isn't just a card you can play with another card from your hand. Did I mention you can enhance other players' cards? Wow! Crazy right? In that last example for instance, Player 1 may attack Player 2, and Player 3 could have enhanced the card.
What if I had an enhancer and another player plays theirs?
You can only play one enhancer per card, and the first applicable enhancer thrown on a card is the one that takes effect. Nice try wise guy.
Who gets the Ability if someone is knocked out by another person's enhancer?
Great question! Whoever dealt the initial attack still collects the ability, not a third party who threw down an enhancer.
Great stuff is on the way! Feel free to message us with any questions!

A brother posted this comment on Facebook:
Seen a pattern of formerly overzealous practicing Muslims fall completely out of the faith. Sometimes moving from one Muslim group to its polar opposite with the same enemy-centered, "I-will-refute-you" overzealousness.
Be careful not to conflate correcting "the other" as your #1 'ibadah priority over actual worship (salah, Qur'an, communicating with Allah via du'aa, community service, good manners, ethics, and behavior).
The "enemy-centered" mentality that plagues overzealous Muslims of all stripes is a dog-eat-dog mentality that eventually turns inward, first by going after people outside "the group", then going after people within "the group" until that person eventually turns on themselves.
There is only so much negativity a person can contain within themselves in the name of religiosity before they spiritually implode.
Don't be a hater – be a worshiper
Then a famous Muslim scholar responded with these comments:
Try this experiment. Go to Youtube. Type in the word "refutation" in the search engine. See what comes up with the auto-filling and also the search results.
My point was that Muslims seem to have a monopoly on refuting each other. For what??
I did just that and the picture above was what I saw.
Muslims are #1 at refuting each other!

Wine Club recently ventured to Tinto in Chesapeake, one of three locations for this small group of wine and cheese bars. Tinto specializes in hard-to-find wines from Portugal and Spain, and they were kind enough to accommodate us for a special guided tasting through the delicious varietals. We also had this spectacular cheese plate...seriously, this Midnight Moon cheese was so good we ordered an extra wheel.
Basa Lore Getariako Txakolina, an effervescent Spanish white with hints of lime and a crisp finish.
Leira Reyero Albarino, a Spanish wine from Burgos. This was a lovely light, tropical wine with a dry finish and hints of apricot and pineapple.
Bajancas, from Douro, Portugal. This was a well-rounded chocolatey, spicy red.
We also had Bodega Picos Gran Gregoriano, a blend of tempranillo, garnacha, syrah and cabernet sauvignon. This was oak-aged and dry, with notes of cherries.
We loved our journey through Portugal that didn't include the obvious (port). Excited to try more wines from this region!

Keeping energy high
Energy in our bodies ebbs and flows. For example, after a meal, the body focuses on digestion and energy is drawn from other parts of the body (such as the brain) while that is happening. Hence the tendency to feel lethargic early in the afternoon. It's a good reason for not holding important meetings immediately after lunch.
Understanding what causes our energy to ebb and flow helps us ensure we are effective at work - that we are living our working lives to the full.
Future generations will probably look with horror on the work environment we have created for ourselves. Our working lives often are not much better than those of battery hens. Sitting at a desk, staring at a screen, barely moving for hours; snatched meals with poor quality nutrition; minimal contact with fellow human beings except in stuffy meeting rooms and often under pressure or bored.
In contrast, watch young children at play, growing, learning, being creative. They are hardly still. Even when they are "quiet", they very often are talking to themselves.
We can learn so much from the energy of a happy child and apply it at work. Not least, getting up from the desk, moving around, stretching, crossing our arms, gets our lymph moving and removing toxins, our right and left brain reconnected and working better, and our energy higher.
Ways to keep your energy high

Mediator in a Box (www.mediatorinabox.com) is a simple step-by-step process which guides those in conflict to create their own solutions. It is designed to be your own "mediator in a box" and is based on an interest-based negotiation and mediation model. This one-day workshop will focus on using the box in the workplace to engage difficult conversations for employee to employee conflicts and supervisor to employee conflicts.
By the end of this workshop, you will strengthen your capacity to engage in an interest-based negotiation and mediation model and learn a process which you can also extend to your employees to use to solve their own problems.

International Culinary Center Professional Pastry Arts student Fontasha Brown and Chef-Instructor Tom Jones featured in The New York Post: "How education helps veterans when career goals are half-baked."
When life handed lemons to Fontasha Brown when she was on the Coast Guard's search and rescue team, she made lemon cakes.
"I used to have nightmares after Hurricane Katrina," says the 29-year-old Brownsville resident, who was stationed in Guam, South Carolina and New Orleans and served during Hurricane Katrina, Haiti and Japan's earthquake. "I would wake up in the middle of the night and bake. The smell was calming…
…So after leaving the military 10 years early due to an injury, Brown channeled that stress-relieving hobby into a formal culinary education. "I wanted to learn from people, not YouTube," she explains. "It was stressful at first, but then I remembered my 9/11 GI Bill® — that's been a blessing." She recently completed her diploma in professional pastry arts at the International Culinary Center in Soho and aspires to own a dessert bar.
Brown's not alone. According to the Center for American Progress, approximately 646,000 veterans were enrolled in a higher education institution in 2012.

The Golden Globes were, for the most part, a politics-free affair on Sunday evening. At least overtly speaking. Until Meryl Streep took to the stage. Although she never mentioned Trump by name, it was clear who she spoke about. At length, and with clarity and purpose, she distilled the vileness of our incoming president-elect, referencing the time he mocked disabled New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski.
"There was one performance this year that stunned me. It sank its hooks in my heart," she said. "Not because it was good; there was nothing good about it. But it was effective and it did its job. It made its intended audience laugh, and show their teeth."
At tonight's #GoldenGlobes we honor Hollywood legend Meryl Streep with the prestigious Cecil B. Demille Award. pic.twitter.com/dxpeCDNXY6

"This instinct to humiliate, when it's modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody's life, because it kind of gives permission for other people to do the same thing," she said in her remarks. "Disrespect invites disrespect, violence incites violence. And when the powerful use their position to bully others we all lose."
Trump flatly denied that he had done such a thing.
"I was never mocking anyone," he told the Times. "I was calling into question a reporter who had gotten nervous because he had changed his story…People keep saying I intended to mock the reporter's disability, as if Meryl Streep and others could read my mind, and I did no such thing."
He in fact did.


text: I don't know if this has been brought up in this forum, but maybe if I create this thread people will chime in. I use Zbrush and Photoshop professionally so its very important to me this gets resolved, or resolved soon. Problems: 1. On both Zbrush, pressure sensitivity does not work. Photoshop it works sometimes. 2. It lags so bad, that sometimes I draw a line, it doesnt appear until a bit later. 3. Zbrush, I can't use hot keys or physical buttons to navigate or change brushes etc. (any way around this?) Is there any solution to any of this? I read that for some Surface Pro 3 users, they downloaded the wacom drivers to get it to work. I know Surface Book doesn't use Wacom, but would it work for this case? Anyone else with other problems, please chime in!

Bayan – USA invites you to join the People's State of the Nation Address actions across the United States.
Let your voice be heard to expose the corruption, human rights violations and subservience to U.S. imperialism of the U.S. -Aquino puppet regime. We call upon Filipinos and friends across the nation who believe in human rights & national sovereignty to unite for National Democracy, National Industrialization and Genuine Agrarian Reform in the Philippines!
President Aquino will boast about 7.8% Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in the first quarter of this year.
Meanwhile, according to the 2010-2012 Social Weather Statistics,:
-unemployment increased by 2.7 million,
-families experiencing hunger increased to 500,000 families (2.5 million individuals), and
-1.5 million families (12.5 million individuals) consider themselves poor.
The intensification of these conditions is evidence that the economic growth is not distributed down to the common people but rather remains with the ruling, wealthy families and foreigners.
Come out to the SONA ng Bayan demonstration, the People's State of the Nation Address, to put the Philippine government on blast for not being accountable to its people.

Today was a rest day for a few reasons:
- It was a parents' evening at school, so I had to miss spin class.
- I was really, really tired, because on top of exercise, I have a lot of work to do. As in the type of work that pays my bills.
- By the time I left school I literally had no sensation in my feet.
Aberdeen is not a well-known tropical resort that holiday-makers flock to. That's because it's freezing – or below freezing if you were to look at today's highs. Last night a freezing fog descended on the city as I navigated my way to the gym:
I may have mentioned before that as a Texan who was brought up with heat, I do not function well in extreme cold (and yes, my idea of 'extreme cold' is usually what causes people to consider wearing a sweater). Kids I teach even tweet about how my classroom is always a like a sauna. Don't give me weird looks, if they don't want their teacher reading that stuff, they should change their privacy settings. Rookie mistake, kids.
Anyway, I got the what I thought was the good seat in the hall where the parents' meetings were taking place. The one right next to the heater. Unfortunately, it was also the closest seat to the doors, and a constant draft was caressing my lower body. It was only after my last appointment that I stood up to discover I could not feel my feet. Having played with the idea of sneaking in an hour at the gym after work, I decided it would probably be a much better idea to just go home. Where a lot of this happened:
Having defrosted and had a power nap, I thought that I should use some rare time to myself to be productive and get some marking out of the way. I had a few jotters with essays written about the negative effects of reality television, so I cracked open the first one to read:
"Reality TV is one of the many things I hate about the human race. Reality TV highlights everything that is wrong with these modern times, 95% of all reality tv stars are sluts, whores, chavs, and inbreds."
Maybe I should tone down my opinions at work.
In running news, I have a 6 mile cross country race on Sunday, and weights on Saturday. Would it be foolish to try and get in my long run of 14 miles before the weights? I'd rather do that than break my long run into two short runs (the cross country race then 8 miles in the evening). Do split runs count?

Teleprompter service is not about running a software. It is about understanding your client: your text lines should sync with your client's emotions. Anything less will simply wont work.
Ways to Use Teleprompters→ Through-the-Lens Prompters
During video shoots, it is necessary that the people in front of the camera look directly at the camera lens and deliver their lines. Through-the-lens prompters are ideal for such situations. The versatility of the through-the-lens prompters enable them to be mounted on stands that come with them, on camera plates and jib arms. If you need to use this particular style of prompter during interviews wherein the speaker is not looking at the camera, simply install the prompter in the off-camera arrangement.
→ Through-the-Lens Prompter for Special Needs
If the through-the-lens prompter needs to be used outdoors, or on jib arm, then specialty equipment is needed for such shoots. As brightness levels may be high during such shoots, it becomes difficult for the in-camera person to read the lines displayed. QTV FDP-12 High-Bright Prompter is a specialty device used for such shoots which not only offers better reading conditions during the shoots, but also is light-weight with flat panel design.
→ Direct Feeds to Downstage Monitors
If for some reason, you do not want to use through-the-lens prompter, specialty prompter or Presidential speech prompter for the live show, then the script can be relayed to one of the downstage monitors conditionally it accepts composite video signals. Our technicians will ensure the setup causes minimal interference to your network.
→ Presidential Teleprompter
The beauty of Presidential teleprompter is the fact that they remain invisible to the audience and camera. The audience just sees glass panels at the sides of the lectern. Camera's can be pointed in such a way that the glass panels always remain out of the frame. All the while, the speaker is able to clearly read the script from two glass panels. Highly recommended for speeches and televised shows.
For Presidential Speech Teleprompters
- AC cables and power strips
- BNC cables (200-feet)
- Each podium will be installed with:
- SpeechView Prompters 2
- Extra glass pane
- Extra monitor
There are a few things we will need from you:
- Place for our technicians to sit with clear view of the speaker
- AC power points
Presidential Prompter Bundle (Black)
The TSP17 teleprompters allow for the most ideal grip imaginable on the BeamSplitter mirror thanks to the Mirror Lock system. The mirror won't budge once it's been fastened into the mirror clamp. The teleprompters are easy to use and set up, are lightweight, and can be read off of from up to 18 feet.
Functioning of the teleprompters occurs through the production of scrolling text being displayed on a 2-way mirror at the talent's eye level, which can only be identified on the mirror's talent side - the audience will only see clear glass. Scrolling text is delivered through a VGA cable from a computer to the monitor of the teleprompter. The rate is controlled by an individual sitting at the computer, or else it is controlled by the talent by operating a hand-held controller (not included). Whichever way the script is scrolled, it will still be reflected off the Beamsplitter mirror, ensuring that it is only visible to the talent.

The Grierson Trust announces the final nominations for Grierson 2016: The 44th British
The 44th British Documentary Awards in association with Sky Atlantic. Four presenters and 52 films – which tackle subjects from the war in Syria and Ebola to the poetry of Ted Hughes and the world of Lego – square up for the ultimate factual faceoff. The winners will be announced in a star-studded ceremony hosted by comedian and impressionist, Jon Culshaw, on Monday 7th November.
This year's nominations include some of the most talked about films of last year – including Asif Kapadia's Amy (nominated in both Arts and Cinema categories) and Alex Gibney's exposé Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief (in both Contemporary Theme - International and Cinema categories) - as well as some less well-known gems.
The BBC dominates with 27 nominations including all four Presenter nominees: Adam Pearson, David Olusoga, Louis Theroux and Paul Mayhew-Archer. Also featured are theguardian.com, Channel Five and Sky Atlantic alongside ITV with two nominations and Channel 4 with 10.
Women directors are well represented with 23 names appearing across the categories including the all new Best Constructed Documentary Series which singles out First Dates, The Real Marigold Hotel, SAS Who Dares Wins and Secret Life of 4, 5 and 6 Years Old (also in the Best Entertaining category) as its first line-up. Two other programmes receive multiple nominations. They are Britain's Forgotten Slave Owners in Best Historical and Best Presenter and The Tribe in Best Entertaining and Best Series.
Chairman of The Grierson Trust, Lorraine Heggessey says: "Every year I'm bowled over by the skill, talent and dedication demonstrated in our nominated films and 2016 is no exception. It's been an incredible year for big screen docs with Amy and Going Clear making global headlines, as well as television continuing its rude health in increasingly difficult circumstances. If recent TV events tell us anything, it's about the tough fiscal decisions the industry is facing and to see so many great films still being produced is almost a miracle. I look forward to congratulating the winners on 7th November."
Each judging panel is made up of a mix of industry experts, filmmakers, channel commissioners, genre experts and well known faces from across cinema and television. This year's 67 award jurors include former Labour leader Rt Hon Ed Milliband; presenters Dame Joan Bakewell, Anita Rani, Nihal Arthanayake, Emma Barnett and Angellica Bell; genre specialists Dr Chris van Tulleken, Richard Tait, Martha Spurrier and Lucy Cooke; actors Meera Syal and Rafe Spall; journalists Chris Curtis and Rachel Oldroyd; spoken word performer George the Poet; and, business woman Margaret Mountford.
Considered as the Oscars of the documentary world and now in their 44th year, the Grierson Awards celebrate the best in documentary film-making. Winning a Grierson carries prestige and allure for factual filmmakers from across the globe.

Kaohsiung police yesterday announced they had uncovered more than 10kg heroin entering the country from Vietnam.
Police arrested three men at the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport late on Friday night allegedly attempting to bring the heroin into the country.
Kaohsiung police officer Wang Chung-jung (汪忠榮) told a press conference that suspect "Wu Chien-min (吳健銘), 26, a graduate from medical college, informed police that he transported hero-in for a total of NT$600,000 [US$18,250] to pay off his college tuition loans and credit card debt."
Wang said another suspect, Lin Cheng-tai (
According to Wang, another suspect, Lee Chien-wei (
The three suspects had no previous criminal records, Wang said.
Kaohsiung police received a tip-off about the operation which led them to northern Taiwan, Wang added.
Police said they are still looking for a man who is alleged to have persuaded the three to transport the heroin for him.
"The man treated the three suspects to foreign trips, gave them first class plane tickets, and asked them to bring heroin back into the county," Wang said.
Wang said both Wu and Lin were paid NT$300,000 to take part in the smuggling operation. The suspects transported the heroin in several coffee containers, police said.
Wang said the three would be charged with transporting narcotics, which would could lead to life imprisonment or possibly the death sentence.

Yes, January has come round quickly. Last year I wrote about my favourite eight healthy places in London (see here), and some have made a re-appearance in this blog on 2016. But there are also new ones which made the cut:
Ethos – the vegetarian buffet option
I'm not usually a fan of vegetarian restaurants, especially not ones which have a help yourself buffet and where you pay for the food by its weight. But Ethos – with it's cool Scandi design, large range of seriously delicious dishes (warm and cold, all gluten free) was a definite hit with me. During the week they serve breakfast/brunch (avocado on toast/pancakes/scrambled eggs) and it's a shame they don't offer this on the weekend, but my Saturday lunch there was sublime (highlight: the zucchini and cheddar fritters). Watch out how much you pile on your plate though, it can add up quite quickly.
Farm Girl – the trendy Notting Hill hot spot
Just off Portobello Road, this hidden away gem, with stunning design (still loving their dark green tiles), offers the ideal healthy brunch. THeir berry pancakes are the dream, everyone raves about their BLT (expect smoked coconut is used instead of bacon), and you may catch a glimpse of the live in and adorable grey French Bulldog. While the service can be a bit haphazard, I think the food and atmosphere make up for it.
Little H – my trusted local
I love everything about Little H, from its quirky California-esque design, to its well-priced cold-pressed juices (£3.90 for a small, which isn't that small) and delicious chia pots. Even if it's raining outside, stepping into this tiny space, with its friendly service and array of (healthy) delights on the counter, will cheer you up any day. If you need something more substantial, you've got big sister Hally's across the road, which also never lets you down.
Andina – for a South American twist
Ceviche's sister restaurant in East London but not be your obvious choice, but here they offer South American food with a healthy twist. Expect lots of quinoa, super foods (the first time I tried Lucama was here), cold-pressed juices and more. For breakfast they offer 'safe' healthy options like avocados and eggs on sourdough, but you can also try their more original Huevos Q'apachana (poached eggs with spicy potato puree, spinach and mushrooms).
Snaps & Rye and Lundenwic – for your healthy Scandi fix
Both Snaps & Rye (Golborne Road) and Lundenwic (Covent Garden) are great options for healthy but delicious breakfasts and lunches. While Lundenwic does a wonderful porridge for breakfast, and hearty soups, cold-pressed juices and good sandwiches for lunch, at Snaps & Rye you should really try their 'smorrebrod' offerings with fresh herring or cured salmon. Superb.
Tanya's Cafe – for the superfood cocktails
OK so being healthy doesn't necessarily mean cutting out alcohol all together (I am not partaking in Dry January). At Tanya's Cafe you can have the best of both worlds: delicious, fresh, raw food and superfood cocktails. My favourite was the combination of one of their raw cheesecakes (to die for) and one of their sugar free cocktails.
Good Life Eatery – the original healthy cafe
Having started in South ken, you can also find the Good Life Eatery in Marylebone, and news is that they will soon be opening in Belgravia. Which is good news for everyone, because this cosy (if pricey) cafe offers your perfect healthy options. I love their gluten free scones and brownies, and their juices are delicious too.
Apart from the above, the Detox Kitchen (who have just opened a new branch in Kingly Court), Nama, Crussh and Juice Baby are all great alternatives.
With all these options there's no excuse not to at least try and be healthy this month!
