Hi fellow,
I have a big question about helmet cam and live streaming into a local network.
I will start by talking about my initial setup:
I currently have man-portable radios which create a mesh between them and I can connect laptops on it to send data in my local network (the radio has 2 RJ-45 connections). With this kind of setup, I can be anywhere in range of my radios and still be connected on my local network. So, that means, the connectivity part from the remote location to the rest of the network is working.
Now, my issue or more what I try to accomplish and don't find the best way:
We try to install a helmet camera on an inspector to be able to live stream what he see to another team in our office. Our goal is to use the same radio system that we currently have to send the video over IP.
That said:
- We would like to have a helmet camera (with batteries) that connect with RJ-45 on our radio and streams the video;
- Given that our network already work with TS UDP multicast, we would like our camera to encode and send the feed in TS UDP to be able to see the multicast feed everywhere on the local network.
Right now, I didn't found any camera of this type and I'm slowly thinking of using a camera that connect via HD-SDI/Composite to a portable encoder which will connect to our radio with a RJ-45. But again, our primary idea will be the best deal because, our employee will have less equipment on him. When our inspector is on the ground, he only has a vest with the radio and his tools, he can't have really more equipment on him. We need to stay really small to fit in small environment.
It's really a good challenge, but I start to have less idea! Please, help me with that if you have any other better idea.
Thank you very much,

'Stone Bird'
Pattiann Rogers lends portent and beauty to the notion of an inanimate bird in this selection from Firekeeper, a prize-winning collection originally published in 1994 and now out in a revised and epanded edition.
To mark National Poetry Month, NPR.org is featuring a series of newly published works selected by the Academy of American Poets. Learn more about this and other titles at the academy's New Spring Books list.
Stone Bird
Pattiann Rogers
I remember you. You're the one
who lifted your ancient bones
of fossil rock, pulled yourself free
of the strata like a plaster figure
rising from its own mold, became
flesh and feather, took wing,
arrested the sky.
You're the one who, though marble,
floated as beautifully as a white
blossom on the pond all summer,
who, though skeletal and particled
like winter, glimmered as solid as a bird
of cut crystal in the icy trees.
You are redbird — sandstone
wings and agate eyes — at dusk.
You are greybird — polished granite
and pearl eyes — just before dawn,
midnight bird with a reflective
vacancy of heart like a mirror
of pure obsidian.
You're the one who flew down
to that river from the heavens,
as if your form alone were the only
holy message needed. You were alabaster
then in the noonday sun.
Once I saw you rise without rising
from your prison pedestal
in the garden beneath the lime tree.
At that moment your ghost
in its haunting permeated every
regality of the forest with light,
reigned with disdain in thin air
above the mountain, sank in union
with the crosswinds of the sea.
I remember you. You're the one
who entered in through my death
as if it were an open window
and you were the sound of the serenade
being sung outside for me, the words
of which, I know now, are of freedom
cast in stone forever.

John 0liver Simon
John Oliver Simon, one of the Bay Area's most beloved poets, died in the early hours of January 16th, from cancer, in the home of his fiancée Susie Kepner. He is survived by daughters Kia Simon and Lorelei Bosserman, son-in-law J.D. Moyer, granddaughter Tesla Rose Moyer, and former wives Pam Simon Hazel, Alta, and Jan Courtright Simon. He was 75.
Born in New York City in 1942, he wrote his first poem under a full moon in 1956. Educated at The Putney School, Swarthmore College (Phi Beta Kappa), and the University of California Berkeley, Simon was mentored by John C. Adler, Jeffrey Campbell, Daniel Hoffman, Gary Snyder, Lew Welch and Carol Lee Sanchez.
While at Cal and after, Simon was active in the Free Speech Movement and in the famous struggle to liberate Berkeley's People's Park. Of this time, he wrote "I was a newcomer to the Bay Area, having arrived in Berkeley in September 1964 in time to sit down in the crowd on Sproul Plaza surrounding the police car which was holding Jack Weinberg prisoner in the back seat in the first act of what would become the Free Speech Movement. I came west three months after graduating from Swarthmore College, planning to get my Ph.D. in English at Cal since I had not been accepted to graduate school at Harvard, and because my mother's forebears had arrived in San Francisco a hundred ten years before that and California was my terrain of legend."
Simon's nine full-length books of poetry included "Caminante" (praised by Gary Snyder and Juan Felipe Herrera), "Roads to Dawn Lake" (Oyez Press, 1968), "Rattlesnake Grass" (Hanging Loose Press, 1978), "Lord of the House of Dawn" (Bombshelter Press, 1991), and "Grandpa's Syllables (White Violet Press, 2015). His poetry was published in numerous literary journals and reviews, "from Abraxas to Zyzzyva." He also co-founded and edited the poetry magazine Aldebaran Review, which ran from 1967 to 1978.
In 1989 Simon was awarded an Individual Artist's Fellowship by the California Arts Council. He also received an NEA Fellowship in Translation for his work with the great Chilean surrealist poet Gonzalo Rojas (1917-2011). On January 20, 2015, Simon's contributions to the Bay Area writing and educational community were recognized by the city of Berkeley with "John Oliver Simon Day." On May 14, 2016, the Berkeley Poetry Festival presented him with its Lifetime Achievement Award.
As an educator, Simon devoted himself to teaching children to write poetry. He co-founded and taught at the People's Community School in Berkeley, 1969-1973. He was a former president and board member of California Poets in the Schools (CalPoets), and served as the Artistic Director of Poetry Inside Out, a program of the Center for the Art of Translation. In 2013, he was named the River of Words Teacher of the Year by former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Hass.
Despite not learning Spanish until the age of forty, Simon became a noted translator specializing in contemporary Latin American poetry. His cultural reporting was featured in Poetry Flash and American Poetry Review. In 2017 he travelled to Madrid to attend a conference of translators of Gonzalo Rojas.
In addition to his daily writing practice, Simon was an avid backpacker, kayaker, gardener, and baseball fan.
John Oliver Simon touched the lives of thousands with his teaching, friendship, and poems. Mexican poet Alberto Blanco wrote "The poems of John Oliver Simon, like all true poems, trace a map, a psychography, which allows us to enter, not only into another life but into the voyage of that life, and not only into another culture, but into other cultures: into another point of view." Simon himself wrote "Language is the central human invention, the hive which we are ceaselessly elaborating, even as I speak."
A Memorial Service will be held at Chapel of the Chimes, 4499 Piedmont Ave. in Oakland, on February 3rd, starting at 2pm.

Cruise to the Athens of the North
To discover Edinburgh begin at its historic heart, with a walk down The Royal Mile.
Take it from the top, at Edinburgh Castle perched above the city, for a look at the view, the crown jewels, and the Stone of Destiny on which Scottish monarchs were crowned.

Buildings steeped in history, with fascinating stories to tell, line the route between them. Outside the city are numerous impressive stately homes with beautiful grounds and gardens.
And for those itching to get out on the links, there is no better place than this, the land where golf was born.Download An Explorer Guide +

A Florida man is accused of groping a female passenger while on a flight Sunday to New Mexico and later telling authorities that the president of the United States "says it's OK to grab women by their private parts."
Bruce Michael Alexander, 49, of Tampa made his initial appearance in federal court Monday in Albuquerque on a charge of abusive sexual contact. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney.
According to a criminal complaint, Alexander was aboard Flight 5421 from Houston, Texas, to Albuquerque when he grabbed the right breast of a woman seated in the row in front of him. The woman told authorities Alexander touched her twice and that she told him to stop and asked to change seats.
Alexander recalled in a written statement only that the woman in front of him had spoken to him and then changed seats.
Alexander remains in custody pending a preliminary hearing and a detention hearing scheduled for Tuesday.

"The Twelve Men of Wreay" - The origin of this institution is uncertain. It consists of twelve men, as the name implies, to perform certain offices in the parish. They formed the village parliament over 300 years ago, and are in existence still. A man, once appointed, filled the office for life, unless he resigned, and his services dispensed with by vote of his colleagues. They received the rental of certain lands, appointed the schoolmaster, and distributed certain endowed charities through the overseers, and formerly acted as guardians of the poor.
There annual meeting was held in The Plough once it opened in 1786 and still to this day, the current Twelve Men still hold their annual meal at the Plough Inn nearly 400 years later.
The Twelve Men Of Wreay still continue to this day and have become a charitable trust.
Watch this news report on Look North about the history of The Twelve Men of Wreay and how they continue to work for the good of the people of Wreay Village.

I think this is the Black-staining polypore - Meriplus sumstinel- which
grows around the base or stumps of deciduous trees, July through September, and can
reach 32 inches across - this one was about 10 inches.
As for the ethereal and delicate beauty of a tiny wing, discarded on the front
steps . . . . . one wonders what happened to the dragonfly.
I so hope it had its days in the sun.

People of Color, People of Clay
WHEN: May 6th thru July 1, 2017, with an opening reception scheduled for Friday, May 5th from 6pm to 8pm
WHERE: Baltimore Clayworks, 5707 Smith Ave., Baltimore
Longtime Baltimore icon and internationally known expert on race and culture Leslie King-Hammond (left)will be curating the upcoming People of Color, People of Clay (POC2) exhibition at Baltimore Clayworks. The show will feature work created by artists of color from across the country.
"It's absolutely amazing," said Devon Powell, Clayworks Interim Executive Director in discussing King Hammonds' involvement with the exhibition. "It's huge. I don't think we could have asked for or gotten a better-suited person to curate this exhibition, and I don't have the words to express the organization's appreciation and gratitude."
The premise behind POC2 was grounded in the unearthing of exhibiting artists' love of clay, and the voice they found upon the first touch of the materials, and will illustrate the creative community of clay coming together to celebrate, raise up, and promote one another. Artists confirmed as presenting their work in the exhibition include: Gina Aparicio, Mariana Baquero, Sophia Capaldi, Patsy Cox, Rachel Eng, Michel Fujita, Blanca Guerra, Aisha Harrison, Kahlil Irvin, Akiko Jackson, Rob Kolhouse, Jae Won Lee, Courtney Leonard, David MacDonald, Julie Moon, Malcolm Mobutu Smith, Nathan Murray, Mario Mutis, Sharon Norwood, Ruben Olguin, Mercedes Ortiz, Sonya PauKune, E. M. Ray, Nigel Rudolph, Nan Smith, and James Watkins.
Lived History and Cultural Memory
Also on display in the Solo Gallery will be a collection of pieces from Sharif Bey, Associate Professor of Art Education at Syracuse University, whose work ranges from decorative/functional pottery to conceptual wearable ceramic works. His solo exhibition includes artwork inspired by functional pots as well as nonwestern rituals, traditions, and practices. (Left: "Star Child"

Local artists Oletha DeVane and Sallah Jenkins will also be presenting their works in the Project Space and Community Arts Gallery. DeVane, an Ellicott City resident, is a multi-media artist who will be displaying several recent 2-D pieces. Jenkins, a long-standing Community Arts instructor with Clayworks and Baltimore native, will be presenting works titled "Sacred."
Baltimore Clayworks' mission is to develop, promote and sustain an artist-centered community, which provides outstanding artistic, educational and collaborative programs in the ceramic arts. Founded in 1980 by a group of nine community-minded ceramic artists, Baltimore Clayworks has developed a strong local and global reputation for artists' development coupled with sustained community engagement.
Baltimore Clayworks lives its mission daily through its programs: Artists residencies; Ceramic classes and workshops taught by working artists; Exhibitions of nationally and internationally recognized ceramic artists; and a Community Arts program that serves underserved populations at sites across the Baltimore region.

This Library Pac-Prank Is A Much-Needed Break From Finals Studying
Finals season is upon us, and students everywhere are regretting putting off their term papers, readings and assignments 'til the last minute. At this point in the semester, the library is probably the most miserable place to be on any college campus. There's simply too much late-night cramming, frantic coffee drinking and/or silent sobbing going on in those carrels.
A group of students at Jesus College Cambridge came up with an ingenious way to lighten the mood during this critical time at their university's library. They hilariously disturbed the peace and quiet by bringing Pac-Man to life, which law student Jack Anderson captured on video:
One dude dressed up as the arcade game's main charater, while a group of ghosts chase him through the stacks. The onlooking students couldn't help but look up from their textbooks and have a long, much-needed laugh before returning to the grind.

Funny how you can hear people talking and just know that they are church-going folks because of the lingo they choose, the happy-happy chirpy tone of voice you often hear on Christian radio. I always smile knowing when a believer is behind me in the check-out line at the supermarket, but I often wonder just how deep that faith goes.
I'm not being judgmental, but I say this because I've talked to a good number of these sweet-natured chirpy Christians who hold many deep resentments and anger issues and feel uncomfortable speaking to their pastors about it. That's why they come to us. We meet them in our Anger Management courses or Marriage Courses, or they just walk in searching for help. But they are "good Christians," at least they all say they want to be. Some have been Sunday-school teachers who like to frequent strip clubs or get high on the weekends. Some admit to substance abuse to deal with stress, others suffer from debilitating depression. Some feel so unloved that they have affairs and are eaten up inside with guilt. They sing in the choir, lead the youth group, are members of the board, and somehow get caught up in online indecency, hateful texting, addictions, blame, guilt, fights, violence, pain.
So when I listen to the local Christian station and hear those slick DJs with their oily voices and forced smiles repeating their scripted clichés… "Sometimes God just wants us to rest on Him. He cares, and He listens, and that's all that matters. Let's get uplifted now with a great new song by Jeremy Camp…" I feel a bit nauseated.
All that matters is that He listens and cares? Aren't we supposed to expect an answer? A real change? No… apparently as long as He listens, that's the best we can hope for. So little is offered, and we are encouraged to celebrate the slightest hint of an answer because it's unreasonable to expect anything more from God.
A lady called in to one of these stations with a "testimony" of how she had been crying on the anniversary of her mother's death, and praying for God to send her mother a message in heaven that she still loved her. A few minutes later, her mother's favorite song came on and she burst into tears, knowing without a doubt that God had sent the message and that her mother was responding through the song. Now, just how dead people can determine the song line-up of a radio station, I have no idea, but the DJ sure thought it was a great testimony of faith, love and family unity...
No mention that the song plays once an hour anyway. No one gave a thought to the bizarre concept of communicating with the dead, something on the same level as consulting mediums and doing witchcraft. No idea that heaven is so awesomely amazing, why would anyone in heaven even want to hear a message from us? (Remember King Saul and Samuel?) Not to mention that God is not a messenger boy who needs to tell anyone up there that we say, "Hi." But as far as the DJ was concerned, it was a story worthy of an oily-voiced, "Praise God for your faith, ma'am, and for the love of family - we know that God still cares, and that's all that matters," then she made a slick transition to another hit song. Gotta keep those listeners pleased.
I know some people who would take offense at me saying that this was no miracle. Sorry, but I think that God deserves to be glorified for doing the impossible - healing the sick, raising the dead, casting out demons, and transforming lives just like He did 2000 years ago. He can comfort us in small ways, but why not expect more, especially when so much evil is contaminating Christian lives?
People want to find the Almighty God, they want to see miracles and need help desperately. But they are settling for fluff, for oily voices, for clichés and false comfort. No wonder believers are falling away like dry leaves when there is so little substance to the message Christians have today. If we don't step up and show God's power as real and tangible, no one else will. Our God is an awesome God, as the song goes. Where are the Christians who strive to reflect that in the world? … For those of us who claim His name as our own, that really is all that matters.

|hey, 'ill reveive mine next week, so thanks a lot for the work !!
|Xanadu, i?ve messing around with your device and it shows a great skill in the knowledge of the launchpad, but as you mention in the info, it needs some kind of specific use.
Anyway, good worked! :)
I?d like to point you to some kind of "note input device", in the style of http://samchillian.com/standalonepc.html, but with the launchpad instead a qwerty keyboard...
...with part of the novation fixed to show a "keyboard" wich indicates the root note, the right buttons as scale choosers, and the rest to get something looking like this layout http://samchillian.com/layout.jpg
Let me think what do you think about this. & if you maybe thouhg i would be helpping you anyway, take that 4 sure ;)
(I would liked contact you by mail for this purpose, excuse me, i couln?t)
Thanks for your reaction and kind words.
I downloaded the Samchillian. I'got it working. The letters of the keyboard are transformed into MIDI notes. It also reacts to a MIDI-in channel. It does some transposing and you you repeat the same note it will output a different note every time. But I don't really understand what the program is doing.
I suppose this program can be rewritten for the Launchpad in MFL. As I don't understand the proper workings I will not do this myself right now.
At the momnet I'm thinking of implementing a realtime drumpattern editor and other sequencer like devices.
To prevent getting more spam I don't leave my email address at forums. Sorry for this.
This is fantastic tool to customize the Launchpad.
How to use it in "user mode 1" ?

"Better safe than sorry" were Andrea Duclos' famous last words. She said them to herself when accepting a prescription for antibiotics about two years ago. The now 32-year-old founder of the lifestyle blog OhDearDrea in West Palm Beach, Florida, had recently returned from a nearly three-week trip to India with some digestive distress and a cut she didn't want to become infected. Antibiotics seemed like the obvious next step, and the clinician at her local walk-in clinic agreed. Read Article

Flo & Grace: HPA AXIS DYSREGULATION & ADRENAL FATIGUE
We all have those moments of feeling like we're running on empty. It's all too common in these fast-paced times, and generally we're pretty good at finding ways to recharge—whether it's going for a walk, relaxing with friends, planning a vacation, or taking a nap. But if that feeling of fatigue or exhaustion just won't subside, no matter how much rest you are getting, there could be a deeper issue. You may be suffering from HypothalamicPituitary-Adrenal (HPA) Axis Dysregulation—the root cause of adrenal insufficiency and what's been coined as adrenal fatigue. Read Article

Star Trek actress Zoe Saldana recently announced that she has Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune disease that affects an estimated 20 million people in the United States.

Oxygen: Itching and Bloating and Hives, Oh My!
The food you eat is directly connected to your overall health, but not all food is good for all people. In fact, some can be downright deadly. Fortunately, these days, entire grocery aisles are devoted to products, such as glutenfree, formulated for specific populations, and labeling has become more sophisticated to warn of potential allergens. Read Article
In the past 2 weeks, I diagnosed a middle-aged male with celiac disease, and a teenage female with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Since their symptoms weren't really textbook for those conditions, it was their positive family history for autoimmunity that led me down that path. Although current medical literature estimates that genetics only contribute about 30% of the risk for developing an autoimmune (AI) condition, it's a good place to start. Read Article

Mysterious form of breast cancer crops up in three Castro Valley women
CASTRO VALLEY — Within a 10-month period in 1999, three women who worked in the same office at Eden Medical Center were diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer, a very rare and aggressive type of the disease that strikes just a few dozen women in the Bay Area every year.
One of the women died last month. Now, the other two are trying to unravel a medical mystery, and they suspect toxic materials in the building where they had handled the hospital's billing for more than 13 years.
The suit, filed in Alameda County Superior Court this week, says the work environment led to various cancers and other illnesses. It also argues the hospital fired the employees for reporting the problems. The suit asks for unspecified monetary damages for lost wages and medical expenses.
Eden spokeswoman Cassandra Phelps denied the allegations, saying hospital and state health officials studied the building but came up with no problems another than an inadequate ventilation system that was later fixed.
The employees were not terminated, she said, but rather offered several options, including other positions, after billing services were contracted to an outside company. All of them declined the offers, she said.

Cal State Chico Students and @KCSCRadio Say #irespectmusic in a Big Way!
Blake Morgan asked me to post his statement on these awesome students at Cal State Chico, the student run SOTA Productions and especially KCSC Radio with big congratulations on their campus #irespectmusic event campaigning for artist pay for radio play! An uplifting surprise before Blake's panels at Canadian Music Week next week when he takes the #irespectmusic message back to Toronto for a repeat performance in one of the world's great music cities!
And don't forget to sign the petition!
Blake: The brave students in these photos have had me in tears this morning.
I've found myself stunned, fogged, and heartbroken these last six days. The loss of Prince, and the world's outpouring since that loss has had me in an emotional zone, the depths of which––I admit––even I've been surprised at. I've cried at the loss of such an incomparable musician of such furious joy.
A musician, it should be noted, who was also at the forefront of artists' rights before they were even really called such. He noted in a recent interview, "We have to show support for artists who are trying to own things for themselves." He didn't just rail against immoral broadcasters or the Googles, YouTubes, and music thieves of the world, he acted, courageously––and often paid the price for it dearly––in doing so.
These students below––acting on their own––have taken it upon themselves to stand up, organize, and carry the torch of righteous anger with their own furious joy, even putting their own radio station on the line in supporting the simple idea that artists should get paid fairly.
Words can't communicate my admiration for them, my respect for them. I wonder at their bravery, and I thank them for sending me these photos and bringing me through my fog this morning.
Respect and love to you students. I've got your back. Big time. #IRespectMusic
April 29, 2016 at 18:19
Thank you so much for your coverage of the Chico State students! Since having Chris Castle and Blake Morgan speak to them last fall, our students have been inspired to write letters to their legislators and take action tabling on campus, wearing their buttons and (as reflected in the photos) showing their support holding up their #IRespectMusic signs out at our annual "Keep Chico Creative" Festival at the Chico Downtown Plaza farmer's market which attracts thousands of people. Featured are some of Chico's top bands, KCSC College Radio and music fans. SOTA Productions which has been organizing the local campaign will also be posting footage of the audience members holding up signs as indie soul/R&B singer songwriter John Klezmer A/K/A KLEZ speaks about #IRespectMusic to the audience.

Illuminating the Inevitable: What Dia de los Muertos teaches us about death
Part of the "Crossing the Threshold: The Soul's Journey in Extraordinary Places" Series
(Mexico) Halloween spooks us in a lighthearted way that belies a deep universal soul uneasiness - the fear of the ultimate threshold into death. Mexico's national holiday, Dia de los Muertos, offers a glimpse into a very different relationship with this final frontier. With new emerging fields such as End-of-Life Compassionate Care and Death Midwifery, many are rethinking how we view not only the mystery of what awaits us, but how we can step more consciousness, perhaps even joyfully, into that mystery.

Butterflies are symbolic of transformation and change. Humans have a tendency to resist change. It's more comfortable to have consistency in daily life. That way we feel a sense of security that we are in control.
Life is about change. What changes are you resisting in your life? Resistance causes stress and loss of life force energy. When you surrender to the necessary changes for personal growth, great strength will result. You will be like a butterfly - fluttering, spreading your wings and showing your beauty to all who see you.
Wishing you success in your transformation. If you need help, I am here for you.

Welcome to the "Joy or Above" website!
"The future, higher evolution will belong to those who live in joy, who share joy,
and who spread joy."
~ Torkom Saraydarian
Why Joy or Above?
Joy is one of the highest vibrations on this planet, and when we are in Joy vibration, we attract what is for our greater good.
What comes before Joy on The Scale of Consciousness, which was developed by Dr. David Hawkins, is Love. Love is the key to finding inner Joy.
"It is only when there is Love that all our problems can be solved and then we shall know its bliss and its happiness."
~ J. Krishnamurti
True Love has nothing to do with the love that is portrayed in the mass media. True Love is pure, unconditional, unchanging, and permanent. It's expansive, inclusive and global. Love emanates from the heart. It is a concrete State of Being that can be measured by the release of endorphin in the brain. And this is the level of True Happiness.
As Love becomes more and more unconditional, it begins to be experienced as inner Joy. Joy arises from within and it is a constant State of Being.
The Ancient Egyptians considered Joy a sacred responsibility. They believed that when they die, the God Osiris would ask them 2 questions: "Did you find Joy?" and "Did you bring Joy to others?" Those who answered 'Yes' to both questions could continue their journey into the afterlife.
Above Joy on The Scale of Consciousness is Peace. Joy leads to Peace. When you find your inner Peace, your mind becomes infinitely silent; you live in harmony with the entire world, and life is continuously flowing.
"If in our daily life we can smile,
if we can be peaceful and happy,
not only we, but everyone will profit from it.
This is the most basic kind of peace work."
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
My Mission and the purpose of this website is to inspire and spread Joy by teaching You some of the Happiness Skills. There are so many benefits of being Happy!
It is my sincere wish to share what I have learned with those of You, who wish to rediscover Joy and Inner Peace! So browse through this website; and if you would like to learn more, feel free to contact me to schedule a free consultation with me, either in person, on the phone, or through Skype!
I wish you much Love, lasting Joy, and Inner Peace.
To Your Happiness!

Student and Alumni Spotlights for the Biology Program
Name: Grace Martin
Major: Biology
Hometown: Laurel, MS
Fact: I love ferrets!
I chose to come to Belhaven University because... I had many friends who recommended the school. I was impressed with the worldview that the college upheld and the availability of the professors. It also provides many connections for graduate school.
One relationship that has meant a lot to me while attending Belhaven University... is my relationship with my sister, Leah. Having her just one year ahead of me at Belhaven has brought me great encouragement and support-I always knew she would be there for me.
Because of my degree from Belhaven University... I will not only be prepared academically for graduate school, but I will be equipped with valuable relationships that were formed and cultivated during my years at Belhaven.

Does working in one country, downtime in another and planning your retirement somewhere else sound familiar?
Cyprus property investors are eligible for citizenship which gives them the freedom to work, travel, study and live in any EU country
If the answer is yes, you're among a growing number of global citizens - from the U.K. to the U.S., the Middle-East to China - needing to travel freely between the different aspects of your life. As this type of globalization gathers pace, the European 'golden visa' programme can be a game changer.
Cyprus offers two visa programs through property investment, Cypriot Citizenship and Cypriot Permanent Residency. This month, Winkworth International explores investment in new developments in Cyprus as a way to secure Cypriot Citizenship.
A property investment of €2m grants a Cyprus passport and EU citizenship within three months for you, your spouse and children up to the age of twenty eight. You're not required to live in Cyprus full-time to qualify and there's no language requirement, medical test or interview for applicants. You do however need a clean criminal record.
EU citizenship enables you to work, travel, study and live anywhere in the EU. After three years of citizenship, you can reduce your property investment to €300,000. Read more about Cypriot Citizenship here.
Invest in a luxury new build villa in Paphos for citizenship, sunshine and blue skies
There are other clear benefits to investing in new property for sale in Cyprus. Tax incentives include no capital gains tax, low property tax and no transfer fees. Cyprus also enjoys a strategic position intercepting three continents: Europe, Asia and Africa. English is widely spoken here and there is a good standard of education on offer with prestigious UK university outposts on the island. Healthcare has a solid reputation and the crime rate is low.
The Petra tou Romiou coastline is home to the brand new Venus Rock Spa Resort
Equally attractive to Cyprus property buyers is a warm, sunny climate, natural beauty, ancient history, and culinary heritage. Winkworth International currently offers luxury villas at the Venus Rock spa resort on the Petra tou Romiou coast near Paphos. These exclusive homes surround the Jacklin designed Secret Valley golf course, with a beach club and purpose built marina also planned. So if you're seeking a spectacular Cyprus new build property from which to enjoy citizenship and numerous other advantages, you might have found it.
Browse our property listings for further details of new properties in Cyprus. If you have questions about Cypriot citizenship we can help too, just contact our Winkworth New Developments office.

The interior of the GB occasionally produces large earthquakes, yet the current distribution of regional seismic …

I'm pretty sure I have mentioned before that the Martian Manhunter is my favourite comic book character. In fact, I think it a running theme in everything I write; no matter how unrelated it is I manage to give the Green Martian a mention. In this gushing jumble of assorted sentences, which stems from a conversation I had with Lewis in a shopping center a few years ago, I will try to explain why I believe the character to be one of the best around. As with most comic book characters the continuous line of reboots can get pretty confusing, and while this article will contain some information from the New 52 version of the character, I'll be primarily focusing on the original, because that's the version I'm most familiar with.
Powers and weaknesses
The Martian Manhunter is one of the most powerful heroes in the DC universe with abilities including superhuman strength, durability, flight, regeneration, shape-shifting, intangibility, invisibility, telepathy, telekinesis, extrasensory input, and optic blasts. While you may groan, bemoaning him for being boring like Superman because nothing can really harm him, you're bloody wrong.
J'onn J'onzz has one major weakness- fire. In some imaginings fire cannot physically hurt him, with his susceptibility to it being purely mental, while in others, fire can damage him. This may seem like an awful weakness for a character to have, especially when you are in the business of saving the world, but this has an important edge on his stories. Giving the Martian Manhunter a common vulnerability means that the reader or viewer is often on edge, scared for the character's well-being.
I know the 90s weren't the greatest time for comic books, some of the stories got pretty damn weird, but it's during this time that The Martian Manhunter got his notable 32 issue series. This rendition of the Manhunter set out his origin in the Son of Mars story arc. The telepathic Martian race was under attack by a virus, and it wasn't just the common cold; it was a prophesied plague known as h'ronmeer's curse. The virus spread rapidly through from Martian to Martian as they communicated telepathically with one another, and resulted in the Martians bursting into flames… nice. J'onn being the species' most successful detective, or "Manhunter", was tasked with finding the cause of the curse. J'onzz managed to prevent infection by closing his mind off from his people, including the ones he loved most- his wife and daughter. Unfortunately for the Green Gumshoe, his wife and child weren't as resilient as him and as their minds connected they burst into flames in front of his eyes. J'onn did eventually find the culprit (his own brother) but only after the rest of his race had perished. The Manhunter then spent decades, possibly centuries, wandering his burnt planet alone until he was brought to Earth in a teleportation accident, where he took on the guise of PI John Jones among many others. I personally prefer this origin the character- a detective that was too slow in figuring out the problem which resulted in the death of his planet. The addition of his family burning in front of his eyes adds so much more to his characterisation than the New 52 origin, which has him off world training to become the next leader of Mars as his planet burns.
But what is important about his origin? Tragedy is certainly one of the key aspects of a Superhero's origin, but what makes MM's origin so important to me is that, it is the most tragic out of all of them. Yeah OK, Batman watched as his parents were murdered in front of him, but at least there are 6.7 billion other people milling about Earth upon which Bruce Wayne can inflict his untrusting demeanor. While Superman also lost his planet and his people, Kal'El was a baby when he was sent off into to space and was basically raised as a human, and even though his adoptive-dad did die, his mum is still there (Thank God she was called Martha… -Lewis). Yet despite the tragedy on Mars, and him almost giving up completely (satisfied to use his shape-shifting abilities to reanimate his daughter and wife), once on Earth the Martian Manhunter becomes one of the most dedicated heroes acting not only in the US but across the entire globe.
Character personality & role within the JLA
So after all that I can still hear you thinking "Why the hell do you like this guy so much?"
Well, in short, the Martian Manhunter is the heart, soul and often the brain of the Justice League. While Aquaman is off aquaman-ing in Atlantis, Superman plays house as Clark Kent and Batman runs a business empire as Bruce Wayne, the Martian Manhunter is either in the Watch Tower watching over the Earth or spending time with one of his countless personas- always working. The Martian Manhunter has identities spread across the entire globe, from a Dallas based PI to a Japanese millionaire, an Italian cat to a Brazilian orphan. J'onn J'onzz is also one of the few heroes to spend a majority of his down time in developing countries- what a top bloke (Or at least he was before the New 52).
The Martian Manhunter co-ordinates many of the Justice League plans and due to his telepathic abilities can act as the entire team's communication array, while also while acting and reacting in the field. J'onn J'onzz is also ready and willing to sacrifice himself for the good of the rest of the team. For example, in JLA issue 1 (from the 90s) the JLA fight a weird Angel thing (told you the 90s were bizarre) and, despite knowing he couldn't beat the villain, J'onzz takes a beating to give the rest of the team time to regroup and form a battle plan. Then to top it off, he is one of the first on the scene to catch a burning space station despite being seriously injured and the fire from the falling station being able to kill him.
Not coming from Earth, the Martian Manhunter brings a different, some could say slightly more clinical view to the defence of the Earth, a viewpoint which is particularly noticeable in the Justice League Unlimited Cartoon. However, this makes him no less determined to protect his adoptive home and its people from threats. This clinical view could work really well within a Justice League film but with the current iteration of Superman being as mopey and miserable as he is, there may not be space for a second Alien on the team.
So, hopefully the above has given you, the dedicated reader that made it to the end, an idea as to why I like the Martian Manhunter so much, and why I really want to see him used in the DC films as well as his very enjoyable (if not slightly altered) television appearances on Supergirl.
Ok. Well thanks for reading and as always if you agree, disagree or want to point out any glaring mistakes, don't hesitate to post a comment, leave a like, or give this piece a share!

I think my perception of an ideal day has changed greatly over the last couple of years. In years' past I might have simply said the beach. Next question.
Now, though, I think my ideal day would look different. It would include my favorite things, like the beach, but more than that it would include my favorite people. Before my ideal days would have just been composed of the what. Now, more importantly, they include the who.
My ideal days are also a little more realistic and attainable. My desires in an ideal day are simplified and do-able. After all, ideal days should be able to happen once in a while, or even better often!
I've learned to value days differently over the last year. I've learned to value moments with people differently over the last year. I've learned that each day is a stupendous gift from the Lord! I've learned that I need to make each day count and not underestimate the various opportunities I'm given.
So an ideal day, in the here and now, would be simply time with my husband, puppy, best girlfriends and this fabulous group that I've been immensely privileged to lead. And because it breaks down so easily to this, there are many ideal days I would create. So I decided to put together my top three:
one: I'd choose to have a Saturday off with Kevin so we could sleep in together and slowly awaken to the sight of the sunrise peaking through our curtains, a little luxury that we hardly ever get since he works Saturdays. We'd have cuddle time and breakfast in our pjs on the sofa. We'd take our puppy girl on a run or walk, and let her swim in her favorite little lake. After some time of relaxing at home, probably watching a movie, we'd get cleaned up. Then we would enjoy a meal out, or at one our homes, with our life group.
In all likelihood, our upcoming Saturday will look a lot like the above. This is why I choose this kind of ideal day. It's realistic and doesn't leave me living on a wish. This is a dream that I get to live out!
two: A full day with my husband. Enjoying all those little things and going out to try some new things too. No where to be. No one to have to check in with. No things on our to-do list. Just us and whatever our little hearts take us.
This coming Labor Day will likely look much like this. It's what we "plan on" doing. Us time. Whatever happens, happens but most importantly, our schedules have been left open for Monday so we can enjoy whatever comes our way, as long as we're together.
three: A morning with Kristina chatting and making some deliciously healthy meals. We'd bake a sweet later because that's what we're best at. We're working on exercising more and more so for fun, let's throw in that we'd work in some physical activity. Next, exploring! Kristina is my go-and-do-anything friend. She's always up for any random adventure I've conjured up. My ideal days with Kristina are so varied, but they always include good conversation and some time in one way or another with our missing 2 partners, Emily and Kayla.
Just last weekend, I called up my Kristina for a Friday night adventure. We decided to venture out into OKC and checked out some of the outdoor markets in Midtown. If I were talking more specifically about the "what" of ideal days, shopping some little shops would probably be in there. The weather was delightful and some of those shops just stole our hearts. And while we're on this subject matter, I'm extra stoked to announce that I got to meet the fabulous ladies behind Touies Design while we there! We've been working on a little surprise coming your way, probably next week, and I can't wait to reveal it!!! I've been dreaming this up all week. I'll just say this, it's football time in Oklahoma yall! But back to Kristina and I, we walked the shops, checked out the street fair starting to take shape and ended the night with double scoop ice cream cones, and our favorites, Emily and Kayla on face time. A great night.
Here's a sneak peak from that night, and some shots of Touies Design shop! What's your favorite party?! I'm just gushing over much of what they've created!

What's Happening Now In Utility EE Marketing
Apr 10, 2017
At the recent Midwest Solutions Conference hosted by MEEA in Chicago, I had the opportunity to moderate a dynamic panel of utility marketing experts. The topic drew an attentive crowd interested in learning how different types of utilities market energy efficiency. Connecting with energy efficiency industry-leading marketers to discuss things that are near and dear to my heart—what's the right target, right message, right program, and right medium – was priceless. That's what Nexant Marketing and Communication Solutions is all about.
My panelists were:
- Janet Rehberg, Marketing Director for Ohio's Electric Cooperatives,
- Cristina Fernandez, Marketing, Communications and Outreach Manager for Nicor Gas (who spoke on behalf of Meena Beyers, Managing Director, EEP Customer and Partner Engagement), and
- Cara Shaefer, Director—Energy Services & Renewables for City Utilities of Springfield Missouri.
During the MEEA session the panel and attendees explored how different types of utilities—cooperatives, investor-owned, and municipalities—market their energy efficiency programs to different audiences.
Janet shared Ohio's Electric Cooperatives' unique marketing challenges of developing strategies for a group of cooperative utilities—where each customer is an owner of the business. She works with 25 rural electric cooperatives and each has different marketing needs. To succeed, she focuses on members (the cooperative utilities), the community (utility customers), and the environment. Every program, associated marketing collateral, and strategy must be developed so that all member cooperatives can benefit and take advantage of them. Overarching digital advertising, website content, and social media presence supports all member cooperatives.
For Nicor Gas, Cristina discussed the complexities of branding for an investor-owned utility under a parent company. These branding nuances affect energy efficiency programs, as well as their multicultural marketing strategy and campaign—which happened to be the 2017 MEEA Inspiring Efficiency Award Winner. Her energy efficiency marketing team developed and implemented the multicultural marketing strategy to achieve deeper reach and provide broader access to EnergySMART across Nicor Gas territory fully in alignment with brand standards.
Cristina accepting the award from Anne Carter
Cara spoke about the uniqueness of her municipal utility, City Utilities of Springfield —where the city runs the utility and is owned by its citizens. City Utilities not only provides the community with electricity, natural gas, and water, but also broadband and public transportation services. She shared a quote from Steven Stodden, Associate General Manager of Electric Supply, that I agreed really summed up how a municipal utility markets to and engages with its owners:
"By serving our customers with products and services that they may not even envision at this time, public power has a connection with our customers far different than the regulated utilities. We are owned by our customers and are part of the community. This allows us to anticipate and respond to their needs far more quickly and better than our competition. By doing the right things in the right ways at the right time is how we will survive and excel."
This is what energy efficiency marketing is all about in my opinion: the right target, right message, right program, and right medium. And to Steven's point, timing is also crucial!
More tools for walking the walk - MEEA got social this year
MEEA introduced a new lead retrieval app (Attendify) for this year's MES Conference that allowed exhibitors to scan badges directly from their phones instead of using one of those large scanners. There was also a new event app for attendees (linked to the exhibitor Lead app). The event app included a way to "be social" on the app itself, as well as push to social media platforms like Twitter and Linked In. On the first day, all the top posters were MEEA staff, so I stepped up my social media game and got to the top of the list by the last day.
Panel information and links to presentation slides:
Left to right: Cara, Cristina, Janet, Kelly
Branding conveys a lot about an organization–its personality, its values, its priorities. But how can utilities integrate energy efficiency into the image they project? In this session, the marketing professionals from investor-owned, municipal and cooperative utilities will share how energy efficiency supports and shapes their brand identities.

Ask Dr. Laurel™: phone/Skype consultations with holistic vet and "animal interpreter" Dr. Laurel Davis
Veterinarians are trained in empirical diagnosis and treatment, based on what can been seen and measured in the patient's symptoms and the outcome of tests and the results determined by other diagnostic tools. Animal intuitives are able to ask your animal what their needs are. Dr. Laurel Davis is a veterinarian who can interpret your animal's needs in an intuitive way, as well as drawing from her empirical knowledge and decades of experience with hundreds of animals in her busy practice.
From a truly holistic perspective, tests and symptoms tell only part of the story. What experience caused your animal friend's fear of coming in the house? What emotions are behind the hair loss your dog or cat is experiencing? Are there foods that are causing her distress? Or is your friend's dis-ease caused by emotions you can't quite put your finger on?
Ask Dr. Laurel to take diagnosis beyond the story that tests and symptoms tell. What would your animal tell you if you spoke the same language? Dr. Laurel's experience and rapport with companion animals provides her with a unique intuitive relationship with her patients. Her ability as an animal intuitive to "hear deeply" allows her to share with you a clearer understanding of your animal friend's wants and needs, so you can enjoy a better life together.
Dr. Laurel reviews any previous medical records, takes a detailed history, then applies her veterinary medical knowledge and intuitive awareness to create a holistic assessment of your animal friend. Find out more about Applied Kinesiology and Intuitive Counseling.
These phone or Skype sessions are of an advisory nature only. Consulting your own veterinarian is always recommended.
Use the buttons below to order your Ask Dr. Laurel™ phone or Skype session here on our website, call us at 828-254-2221, or email us at email@example.com to schedule an appointment. Prior to your phone/Skype session, please send any pertinent previous medical records to our office. These can be faxed to 828‑254‑2227 or emailed to us.
"I have been a patient of Dr. Laurel's for nine years. Both my cat and dog love her. Since she talks to animals, and listens to what they say, both she and I have learned things about them that it would be impossible to know from an 'ordinary' vet. There is nothing ordinary about Dr. Laurel. She is an exceptional vet and person and it is a pleasure to have her in my life."

Neo-Nazis in Greece and Germany establish mutual links
The Greek right-wing extremist party Golden Dawn has established contacts with German neo-Nazis in Bavaria. The group, which is represented in Greek parliament, is also attempting to set up a cell in the southern German state.
The Greek right-wing extremist party Golden Dawn is establishing close contacts with Bavarian neo-Nazis and began setting up a cell in Nuremberg last year. The party, known in Greek as Chrysi Avgi, even held a conference in the southern German city recently.
Bavaria's state intelligence agency is particularly interested in meetings that have been taking place between right-wing extremists from Greece and those in Bavaria.
An umbrella organization of Greek communities in Germany has called on all Greeks in Germany to reject attempts by neo-Nazis to promote "violence, inteolerance and social cannibalism."

Suicide attack at cafe turns tears into anger
Wednesday, September 10, 2003
Matthew Kalman, Chronicle Foreign Service
Jerusalem -- 11:20 p.m. Tuesday. I had just sat down to check my e-mails before going to bed when a huge blast like a thunderclap nearly knocked me out of my chair.
Looking out the window, I could see white smoke billowing into the dark sky over the rooftops from Emek Refaim, a strip of fashionable cafes and restaurants less than 200 yards behind my house. The night was silent, broken only by a lone car alarm triggered by the shock waves.
I shot out of my apartment and ran toward the smoke, joining a two-way stream of traffic. Running with me were people pulling on medics' vests, as well as photographers and other reporters. Walking slowly in the other direction, or simply standing, visibly shaken and often sobbing quietly, were the shocked bystanders who had witnessed the attack.
A minute later, as I turned the corner into Emek Refaim -- "The Valley of the Ghosts" -- I took in a scene from hell: Smoke curled up from the street and people lay all around, groaning and crying. Ambulances and police cars raced past me, sirens wailing, and juddered to a halt next to Cafe Hillel, a popular meeting place that opened only a few months ago.
It was one of my favorite cafes -- a lively spot where young people in their 20s and 30s gathered to eat, drink coffee and talk animatedly over the loud background music. Now the cafe was silent, a pit of blackness amid the flashing lights of ambulances and police cars. As I drew nearer, I saw its windows had been blown to bits. Strewn around the street were lifeless bodies and what looked like pieces of still warm human flesh.
Dozens of police and medics descended on the scene within moments, and the night filled with sounds. Police officers screamed through bullhorns, telling the gathering crowds to stay back in case there was another bomb. Medics shouted into walkie-talkies, directing ambulances and helping to evacuate the wounded.
I saw at least a dozen injured people hurried away on stretchers, their blood spilling onto the orange blankets of the gurneys. Girls were in tears, and survivors of the attack were trying to contact friends and relatives on cell phones to tell them they were OK, but the network had crashed, leaving scores of people talking desperately into thin air.
Several youths started arguing with police who were trying to clear the scene.
"Where are you going?" the officer asked one of them.
"I want to find some Arabs to beat up," he said.
Arriving home, I found my 13-year-old son and 15-year-old daughter in tears, shaking. Another night in Jerusalem.

Part of what makes road trips fun is
|Jackson reading about Old Tom, a killer whale that worked with whaling ships to bring in baleen whales
|the whaling boats are teeny compared to the size of the whale!
It's easy to look out from the quaint little seaside town of Eden and imagine its former incarnation as a whaling hub. The museum was great and made me want to reread Moby Dick and In the Heart of the Sea.
We then arrived at Croajingolong National Park and got a decent spot right across from the campsite hosts, who were two fantastic young guys who immediately invited our boys over for a game of soccer (they had been playing cricket but switched over to something the boys would be familiar with). This game would be the highlight of Jackson's stay here; he lives for experiences like this.
The weather wasn't great--overcast and a little chilly, so we took a short hike through a beautiful path to the beach instead of heading to the river for a swim.
On our walk back, a fellow camper pulled us over to her campsite, where this guy had been hanging out for a couple of hours...
|Australian water dragon
Two Librans don't make decisive decisions all that easily, but when one is an attorney decision do tend to go one way more often. :) We decided it would be best to head out early, so we packed up camp in record time so we could still make the hike to the Point Hicks lighthouse tour as planned before heading out.

Traditional Guarani way of living
Upon the arrival of the European conquerors, the guaraníes were a semi-nomad population living mainly on hunting, fishing and harvesting. The tupi-guaraní and karaivé-guaraní speaking groups lived in a vast territory, from Guyanas to the North of Argentina, from Brazil to the East of Bolivia. The Guaraní villages were settled on the banks of the Paraná, Uruguay and Paraguay rivers up to the Delta islands on the Río de la Plata.
They were socially organized in families living in one single big communitarian house, the maloca. The cacique distributed the lands and the women to the polygamist heads. They grew corn and cassava, with which they made a fermented beverage called chicha. They discovered an herb to chew or make hot drinks: yerba mate.

I couldn't agree more with your article (Serraj and CNN Must Come Clean About Alleged Libya Slave Markets, 28 Nov) calling on Sarraj and CNN to to release names of those suspected of involvement in the alleged slave trade.
If CNN did provide Sarraj with such information, why is he sitting on it? Such lack of transparency is fuelling conspiracy theories among Libyan citizens leading many of us to think that the whole thing was fabricated to convince African countries to take back their citizens before reaching Europe.

Reimagining Aging Communities
Hollwich Kushner and Morningside Retirement & Health Services (MRHS) are pleased to announce the opening of their new community facilities. The space is designed around the principles laid out by Matthias Hollwich in his book New Aging: Live Smarter Now to Live Better Forever. Published by Penguin in 2016, the book is a call to action for people to reshape the places where they live so that they can age in place. The completion of the MRHS space brings Matthias' manifesto for aging to life.
Located in Morningside Gardens, MRHS provides programming for a Naturally Occurring Retirement Community (NORC) and draws on expertise from neighboring Morningside Heights institutions. Now, through the renovation of its community center and office space, MRHS will set a new standard in the design of spaces that serve older adults within the community.
"Everything at MRHS is possible because of the strength and importance of community at Morningside Gardens. Most importantly, the new space builds community through its innovative and universal design," says Paul Nikolaidis, Development Officer at MRHS.
The design for the new spaces at Morningside Gardens redefine what a community center for older adults can be by fostering interactions between staff, residents, and visitors. A redesign of the foyer provides a visual connection to the newly designed Media Lounge, giving visitors an informal gathering space where they can feel comfortable lingering before, and after, their scheduled activity, as well as fostering interaction between the staff and other visitors in a more casual setting.
The space reveals areas that cater to the wide variety of activities at MRHS and unfolds in a series of informal and formal meeting points for individuals, friends, and groups. A flexible partition with the ability to provide acoustical separation introduces an adaptable space for a variety of activities, and audiences throughout the day. Permanent seating along the perimeter, combined with integrated cabinetry, creates a unified space that can host a diverse range of events and programs, while always remaining comfortable and inviting.
"Looking through the lens of older people enables us to eliminate all kind of flaws in today's urban and building designs. We see apartments that isolate people from their communities, bathrooms that are difficult to use in a wheelchair, and changes in elevation and surface that hinder easy movement. When we're young we can run up stairs and move from room to room to compensate for architectural barriers, but as we age these flaws turn into deal-breakers for living a happy, healthy, and long life in your own home and community. Longevity is today's mega trend. When designing through the lens of older people we generate better solutions for all of us," says Matthias Hollwich
Embedded in cabinetry, walls, and furniture, a handrail detail is subtly integrated throughout each room. This design element visually unites the entire facility, helps oneself orient within a space, and provides additional stability for visitors to MRHS who might need extra support. Special consideration is given to color, lighting and materials, to craft a 360-degree environment that is age-friendly. Tools like color contrast, seamless floors and integrated grab rails take it a step further to create a new space for MRHS and the many residents that call it home, as well as a new prototype for age-friendly design.
"Morningside Gardens is an oasis in New York City, and serves as a model for all retirement communities, especially, as the focus in caring for older adults moves from institutional to community-based care." Daniel O'Donnell, Assembly Member, District 69
