North Korea on Friday has denied it cruelly treated or tortured an American student who was detained for more than year and died days after being released in a coma.
The article published by the official Korean Central News Agency was Pyongyang's first reaction to the death of Warmbier. North Korea released him last week for what it described as humanitarian reasons and he died Monday in a U.S. hospital.
KCNA says the North dealt with Warmbier according to domestic law and international standards. He had been accused of stealing a propaganda poster and was serving a sentence of hard labor.
Warmbier returned to the U.S. last week in a coma. Pyongyang's explanation was that he had contracted botulism. U.S. doctors, however, said he apparently suffered "respiratory distress," and the oxygen supply to the brain was cut off.
"His neurological condition can best be described as a state of unresponsive wakefulness," a doctor said.
President Trump declared North Korea's treatment of Warmbier "a total disgrace," and called the North Korean government is "a brutal regime."
The U.S. will "be able to handle it," Trump added.
The administration was already wrestling with option for containing an increasingly belligerent North Korea before the shocking return of a mortally wounded Warmbier. As the rogue regime repeatedly threatened the U.S. and its regional allies, testing missiles at least nine times since Trump's election, the administration looked to China to help.
Trump signaled he could be ready for the U.S. to act alone.
"While I greatly appreciate the efforts of President Xi & China to help with North Korea, it has not worked out," Trump tweeted.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the U.S. will "hold North Korea accountable" for Warmbier's "unjust imprisonment," and is also demanding the release of three other Americans who are being detained.
U.S. lawmakers are also calling for a response to Pyongyang.
"The North Korean regime is mistaken if it believes that its barbaric mistreatment of an American citizen held in depraved captivity for over a year will pass quietly," Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas said.

M: These two are no good
T: Yeah but they took Josh out and that gives them an advantage going into next week
*EMTs come to check on Josh*
*backstage DC is seen walking down the hall, Alli and his security team stop DC*
Alli: DC, I want to wish you good luck tonight my friend
DC: Good luck?
Alli: Yes especially since you are teaming with my associate Force
DC: You know what, right now I have to go prepare for match, and personally I don't give a rat's ass if you and Force are a team or not. But let me tell you something Sabbah, one day me and you are going to cross paths again, and when we do, it's going to but your unlucky day.
Alli: Well until then my friend, take care, and remember shop smart, shop Alli
*DC walks away in disgust, as Alli turns to Swinn and tells him something*

*backstage we see Force go into DC's lockerroom*
DC: What the hell do you want?
Force: I saw the exchange between you and Sabbah, and I am here to tell you in person that I am not with Sabbah
DC: That doesn't matter, because all I care about is winning the tag team titles tonight
Force: That's good, just make sure you keep that attitude the entire match
DC: Why don't you just get the hell out of here
Force: I will, but just remember tonight we might be partners, but me and you, we still have unfinished business
*Force walks out of the room*
*Mr Giggles makes his way down to the ring miming that he is rowing down the ring as the fans lap it up*
Marv: Here comes the man who will be facing Judge tonight and I think he might just have that smile wiped off his dial by the end of tonight Tater.
Tater: I think you could well be right Marv but we will see.
*Judge charges down to the ring to his music and jumps into the ring but Giggles mimes blowing a whistle and signals for him to stop. Judge does so but looks very impatient. Giggles mimes out making a balloon animal and mimes giving it to Judge.*
Marv: It appears Giggles is offering some kind of mimed balloon peace offering to the Judge Tater.
Tater: Yes Marv and we saw an instance of gift giving early tonight with Cryptic and that worked out well. Let's see how this strategy goes for Giggles.
*Judge mimes taking the imaginary balloon animal. Giggles jumps up and down and then turns around and starts doing his patented stuck In a box miming trick for the fans. Meanwhile, Judge shakes his head and mimes snapping the balloon animal in half. Giggles turns around and is met with a massive clothesline by Judge.*
Marv: So much for that idea Tater and Giggles spun around three times before even hitting the ground!
*Judge picks Giggles up and hits him with a massive power bomb and goes for the pin. 1…2…Judge breaks up his own pin.*
Tater: He wants to really hurt Giggles as he seems to be saying 'you're not gonna get off that easy Blade' but that's not Blade Judge what's wrong with you!
Marv: I think he's sending a message Tater.
Tater: Oh.
*Judge picks Giggles up and hoists him up on his shoulders for a running power slam. He pins him but again breaks up his own cover. Picks him up again and hits the final sentence. Then picks him up yet again and hits the go to sleep.*
Marv: A new move by Judge and he calls that the Blind Justice! What impact!
*Judge picks a now bleeding Giggles up yet again and locks him in the Excruciator for the tap out and Giggles passes out giving Judge the win.*
Tater: I would not like to be in Blade's shoes right now Marv that's for sure!
*backstage we see Peabody with Hugh Miller*
Hugh: Peabody, that monster you call the vanilla gorilla is off this week, but has been ensured a match next week in Mexico, how does he prepare?
Peabody: Imbecile, is this the kind of questions they teach you in announcer school?
Hugh: well, I ...ummmm
Peabody: Shut up! The Gorilla is ready for any challenge, but what is really important is these
*Peabody takes some pills out of his pocket*
Peabody: These will cure whatever ails you! Here try one.
*he hands it to Hugh and then he knees Hugh in the groin..Peabody forces the pill down his throat*
Peabody: there that should do it, have a nice night!
*Peabody walks off as Hugh is doubled over on the floor*
Tater: Our next match for the evening pits the devilish Joker who finds amusement in punishing his opponents versus the self proclaimed friendly merchant Alli Sabbah.
Marv: Indeed as we see Joker make his way down to the ring one has got to wonder whether Alli will be able to find a way to take down this menace.
Tater: I'm sure he will be looking for a way to send a message to Demon Alexander who took his hardcore title from him Marv.
Marv: Yes indeed as Sabbah now makes his way to the ring
*Sabbah stops at ringside and Swinn comes out behind him...he hands him a mic*
Sabbah: Mr. Joker, Let me inform you of something. Next week I wrestle inside a cage for the Hardcore Title. With that being said I need time to relax, and concentrate on that match. So tonight, I will not be facing you. Instead you will be taking on my associate Swinn.
Marv: Swinn? Well this is a shock...Swinn gets in the ring and they face off. I hope that Swinn can keep it to mat wrestling for once. Not that I'm insinuating anything but These guys have some dirty tactics, espcially with Alli at ringside. I would hate to be on the recieving end of a magical salami.
Tater: I don't think any of us do Marv as this one is under way.
*Joker and Swinn lock up and struggle with each other for a bit before Joker backs Swinn into the corner and starts hammering away at him with rights and lefts. He then pulls Swinn to the top of the turn buckle and chucks him off the top and goes for the cover. 1…2..kickout by Swinn. Joker starts to stomp on Swinn and then goes to drop the elbow but Swinn moves and Joker's elbow smacks into the mat. Swinn to his feet charges in and hits a clothes line then another and a third. He picks Joker up and hits a scoot slam then turns around and starts bowing to his fans. Joker up to his feet slowly and sees Swinn showboating and goes for the roll up. 1…2…Swinn kicks out sending Joker flying across the ring and straight into the referee. Swinn notices Joker is down and motions to the entrance ramp.*
Tater: Who is he motioning too? I get a feeling this is about to get very dodgy very fast.
*Alli's security force makes its way down to the ring dressed in riot gear and armed with Batons. They get into the ring and proceed to beat the living heck out of Joker. One of them gets him up and holds him at Swinn's command. Alli goes under the ring and pulls out his salami.*
Marv: We know where this is going Tater. The turkey slap of doom. I don't think even Joker will be able to find the humour in this one.
Tater: Did you just call it a turkey slap Marv? There are kids watching for Christ sake!
*Alli connects with the Salami sending Joker to the mat who has now been bloodied. Alli sees the referee coming to and signals for the security force to leave. They do so and Alli goes outside as well. Swinn covers. The ref sees the cover and counts. 1…2…3.*
Marv: It's all over and you've got to be thinking Demon will be looking over his shoulder for any long large thick meaty objects attacking from behind.
Tater: For god's sake Marv. But Alli definitely has sent a message that's for sure. How will Demon be able to handle these group of hoodlums?
Marv: The good thing is Alli will have to be the one doing the fighting next week and his friend will be locked outside of the cage.
*Alli and company celebrate Swinn's win and heads to the back*
*backstage a long limo pulls up...Thugged Out gets out and Stick looks back in the limo*
Stick: Don't worry, those niggas ain't got nuthin on us. We'll be right back yo!
*Thugged Out walks off*
M: Wecolme back folks and already in the ring Jason and Oko are going at it...Jason jumped Oko on the ramp and these two are in the ring and the match is underway
T: Oko with a powerslam and the cover
*Oko gets a two count and argues with the ref*
M: We have an update Josh has been taken to a local hospital
T: He has to have some kind of injury Marv
M: Also you can see that Jason has told Stacy to stay in the back for this match, so he is out here alone
*Oko using the middle rope to choke Jason and the ref counts..3...4...Oko breaks and is warned...he runs and bounces off the ropes, then he hits a splash with his leg as he straddles Jason against the middle rope..Jason falls down and Oko with the stomps...he drops and elbow and covers...but Jason with a foot on the rope*
M: Oko in control, and you got to think that Jason has more on his mind than this match
T: he has to, his partner is in the hospital and it's thanks to this man
*Oko lifts Jason up and a hard shot takes him right down...Oko bounces off the ropes and goes for a legdrop but Jason moves..Oko grabs his leg as it stings...Jason trying to knock the cobwebs out and slowly getting up..Oko is too...Oko is up and runs with a clotheline..Jason ducks it..Jason witha dropkick taking Oko down...Jason to his feet and a chop to Oko, and then a punch and a chop and a punch, and knick knack patty whack give a dog a bone...Jason with Oko in the corner...an elbow to the head, and Jason climbs up the turnbuckles he looks to the crowd who cheers, Jason unloads as they count...1.....2....3....4....5...6....7...Oko manages to grab jason and walk out of the corner and hit a modified spine buster....he slowly covers...1..2..kickout*
M: it was almost over, I thought Oko had it won
T: Oko to his feet now Marv, and he tosses Jason into the corner
*Oko runs in with a clothesline and connects...he then chops Jason...he lifts Jason up and sits him on the top turnbuckle...Oko with a hard right to the head...Oko tries to climb the turnbuckle...he gets up there, and Jason with a punch to the ribs and another shot...Jason with an eye rake*
M: Uncharacteristic of Jason
T: He's a desperate man Marv
*Oko can't see, and Jason lowers Oko's head and then Jason stands up on the top rope and flips over Oko landing on his feet and pulling oko over him nailing a powerbomb*
M: What a move
T: He has the pin
*The ref stunned begins the count..1......2....3...*
M: Jason has done it he beat Oko
T: maybe a little revenge for earlier
*Jason is wore out and he gets to his feet, the ref raises his arm as Primate slides in the ring and levels Jason he begins attacking him on the ground....Oko is to his feet and the two men begin to stomp on Jason*
M: And now the two on one attack
T: They took Josh out and are looking to the same to Jason
*Primate backs off as Oko picks Jason up...Primate charges and hits the spear on Jason*
M: the spear and this is enough
T: Looks like Oko is going for his finisher
*Oko locks on the full nelson/camel clutch finisher and Primate taunts Jason...they hold the move on him for a while, then finally release it as Jason just drops to the mat...The two men raise their hands as the crowd boos*
M: If this happens next week, then we are looking at the new number one contenders for the tag titles
Marv: This next match should be interesting Tater, as the man who preaches peace and love is coming down to the ring to face off against the vicious Ravage…and what's that he has in his hand Tater?
Tater: It appears to be a plate of brownies, and Cryptic is dispensing some of them to the crowd.
Marv: I wouldn't touch those things with a twenty foot pole Tater god knows what's in them. Now Cryptic is in the ring and is asking for a mike, let's see what he wants to say.
Cryptic: Hello my peaceful brothers and sisters it's so lovely to see you all here tonight! *crowd cheers* Tonight my opponent is the impressive Ravage, a man who prides himself on his violent ways here in the IWO, though he is a wise man and I'm sure open to learning lessons. So with that said I'd like to invite my opponent out to the ring. *Ravage's ring music hits as he makes his way out to the ring, dressed to compete but looking a bit confused*
Marv: What the hell is he talking about? Teaching Ravage a lesson?
Tater: I guess we are about to find out Marv as Ravage is in the ring and appears to be asking the same question.
Cryptic: Hello my fellow wrestler. Today I would like to teach you a lesson…a lesson…if you will…in love. *Ravage looks pissed off* I would like to offer you, as a token of my friendship and respect for you, before your match, one of my hand cooked brownies to signify my love for you. *Cryptic offers Ravage a brownie and Ravage is still looking confused, he asks for a mike.*
Ravage: I dunno what your on about pal but this is a wrestling ring and I came here to fight. Ring the damn bell *bell rings*. So either put up or the shut the fuck up and get those fucking brownies out of my…*before he can finish Corey has slid in the ring and hits a massive baseball slide which takes out the legs of both Ravage and Cryptic. Ravage falls backwards and Cryptic falls forwards on top of him and drops the plate which smashes on Ravage's head. The referee slides over and counts the 1…2…3*
Tater: Cryptic picks up another improbable win but I'm not sure Corey is finished.
*Cryptic gets up, looking confused as the ref raises his hand but before he realises what's just happened Corey comes from behind and chucks him to the floor. He then goes and gets a chair from the outside and brings it in. The ref tries to stop him but he lays him out with the chair and then sets it up in the middle of the ring. He then goes over to a knocked out Ravage and picks him up and hits a Duality Driver on the chair and Ravage is left bleeding as Corey walks back up the ramp laughing manically*
Marv: Oh my god! I can't believe the barbarity of Corey. Nonetheless I guess it's another win for Cryptic.
*Demon waits in the ring as the lights go out...they come on and nothing....the lights go off again and they come back on...nothing...*
M: Where is Masque?
T: This is odd
*the video screen comes on and we see Masque tied up in the back...Demon gets out of the ring smiling..he walks up the ramp and to the back where Masque is*
Demon: Alli I know you can hear me...You see this?
*He picks Masque's head up as blood is coming out of it*
Demon: Alli this is my message to you, next week in the cage, this if future, only for you it will be worse.
*Demon covers the tied up masque and the ref counts the pin...Demon picks up the win*
M: What a message, Demon already attacking Masque and tying him up
T: i have never seen the deadman treated like that Marv
Tater: We are back from the break folks as Tiger is in the ring and is set to go toe to toe with the man coming down the isle now to his self title's theme song. Jack 'the beast' Crawford.
Marv: Yes indeed a man who has been really asserting himself since coming to the IWO and we will see if he can do it here once again against the ever ready Tiger as they face off and the bell rings.
*Both men lock up for a few secs until Tiger hits the boot to the gut then the atomic drop, bounces off the ropes and hits the flying clothesline as The Beast is sent down to the mat. Tiger wastes no time in ascending the turnbuckle*
Tater: Tiger looking impressive in the early going and possibly looking to finish this one off early.
*Crawford slowly to his feet as Tiger leaps off the turnbuckle with a flying kick but Crawford catches his leg and steam rolls through him with a big clothesline. Crawford bounces off the ropes and hits a running elbow drop on Tiger. Pulls Tiger to his feet. Tiger starts to throw punches as the two exchange blows. Crawford gets the advantage and backs Tiger into the turnbuckle with right and left fists. Tiger with a boot to the mid section. He locks his arms around the neck of Crawford and pulls him up to the top turnbuckle.*
Marv: Could be looking for the Cat's cradle here Tater will he get it?
*Tiger hits the Cat's Cradle from the top rope and goes for the cover. 1…2…kick out by Crawford and Tiger can't believe it. Tiger runs against the ropes and hits the Big Cat Splash on a down Crawford and goes for another cover and another 2 count. Then pulls him up and puts him in a sleeper hold.*
Tater: Tiger just can't seem to put away Jack Crawford who is truly earning his name 'The Beast' at the moment just by withstanding all this punishment.
*Crawford works his way to his feet working off the crowd and finally hits a few elbows to the midsection and breaks out of the sleeper. Crawford off the ropes and hits a clothesline. Tiger to his feet. Crawford charges but this time ducks around Tiger and hits a release German Suplex and cover. 1…2…kick out at two by Tiger. Crawford picks Tiger up and gets behind him and hits the Hurricana then goes up top. Tiger slowly to his feet and Crawford leaps with a cross body which he hits but Tiger rolls through and gets Crawford's shoulders down. 1…2…kickout.*
Marv: Great ring presence by Tiger there but still not enough to pin 'The Beast'!
*Tiger attempts to take Crawford to his feet but he fights him with elbows to the gut then pulls him in and hits him with the Belly of the Beast*
Tater: Out of nowhere he hits it and it has to be over now!
*Crawford signals for the Blackout and goes up top and hits it perfectly and gets the cover. 1…2…3.*
Marv: If it wasn't over then it certainly is now no one works out of a match victorious after receiving that powerful combination! Another win for the aptly named 'Beast'.
Tater: when we come back the Main event for the tag team titles!
*the main event is underway as Force and Exo are starting out for their teams. The tag titles are on the line, and both men lock up...neither one gets an advantage and they break...They lock up again, and Force with an arm wrench...he keeps it tight and then hits a huge punch to the head of Exo taking him down..exo backs up and makes the tag to Stick*
M: looks like Exo doesn't want any of Force

M: Force is in trouble

M: this crowd is alive, as they want Force to make the tag
T: DC is wanting the tag
*Force goes over, and makes the tag..DC in the ring and a right hand takes down Exo, a kick to Stick and a snap suplex puts him on the ground..Exo is up and tries a punch, but DC blocks it he connects with one of his own, and whips Exo into the ropes...DC lowers his head, and Exo with a knee lift..DC stammers back and Exo tries a big boot, but DC ducks and kicks Exo when he turns around, and a DDT...Stick is up, and DC backs him against the ropes, the whip is reversed..Stick waiting and DC nails the flying forearm to take him down..DC is up and feeling it...he tags back in Force...DC takes Stick and tosses him to the outside...he follows..Force in the ring and waiting..Exo is up and Force with a right and another*
M: Force leveling him right now tater
T: We could be looking at new champs
*Force whips Exo into the corner and charges and hits the splash...Exo stammers out and Force hits a scoop slam....Meanwhile, Stick tosses DC into the barricade...Force climbs up top looking for the Hell From above...Stick grabs the tag title, and gets on the apron and levels Force in the head with it making Force fall to the mat..the ref calls for the bell*
*the crowd boos*
M: He just hit force causing a disqualification
T: Thugged Out have lost the match but kept the titles
*Stick gets in the ring and begins to stomp on Force...Exo gets to his feet and the two men again beating on Force..DC is up and grabs the World Title belt he looks in the ring and walks around it to the ramp..he looks in and heads up the aisle*
M: DC is leaving force in the ring to get beaten down
T: He must feel that Force deserves this
M: What a coward
*DC walks up the ramp as the crowd boos...He stops and looks at the video screen of Thugged Out kicking Force...DC shakes his head and turns back..he stares in the ring..Thugged Out looks at him..DC then runs and slides in the ring...Exo goes after him...DC drops the title on the mat, and him and exo exchange blows...Stick comes over and hits DC from behind...DC trying to fight both men off but they get him into the corner...DC trying to fight but to no avail..Force is up and hits STick from behind...Force whips Stick and takes him down with a boot...Exo leaves DC slumped in the corner and charges at Force...he nails him a few times....*
M: Force taking on Exo, and Force whips him
*Force hits the spinebuster on Exo and pops up to the cheers from the crowd..he turns around and DC levels him in the head with the World Title..the crowd boos heavily*
M: What the hell, why did he do that?
T: DC just took Force out
*DC looks down at him as Stick is up on his feet, Stick comes over and looks at DC, he then helps Exo up...then all three men begin stomping on Force*
M: What is this, all three men stomping on Force
T: Has DC joined them?
*THugged OUt gets force up and they whip him into the ropes, they hit the Last Call on him...DC tells them to lift Force up..they do and he can barely stand..DC then nails him in the head again with the belt....*
M: Force hit hard with that gold and he is bleeding
T: This is an assault on Force
*DC has Thugged OUt lift him back up...DC then grabs force and lifts him up...he spins and hits the Bust leaving Force laying in the middle of the ring...DC then has his arms raised by Thugged Out as the crowd boos*
M: DC sold out, and you got to think there will be hell to pay
T: But why Marv, Why?
M: We will see you all next week as the new IWO turns one year old, see you next time everybody!

History of the Toyota 4Runner
Toyota introduced the 4Runner into the North American market for the 1985 model year. The first generation of the 4Runner was a two door configuration and sported a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine under the hood. The vehicle would actually be classified as a compact vehicle by today's standards, as it did not gain size until later on in its development history.
The second generation of the 4Runner was released for the 1990 model year and was a drastically different vehicle from its predecessor. Rather than being essentially a truck with a cover over the bed, this 4Runner was a completely redesigned vehicle sitting on an independent platform. Toyota also made the decision at this time to begin offering the 4Runner as a four door model in addition to the two door option. It was during this time that the 4Runner began to take the shape of what would be considered a true sport utility vehicle in today's market.
By 1995, the third generation of the 4Runner was released as a completely redesigned model. Toyota increased the overall size of the 4Runner and began the process of upscaling the interior. This trend continued with the 2002 model 4Runner which, by this time, had begun to gain serious traction in the sport utility market. The 4Runner continued to sell well in the ensuing years as it carved out a niche for itself as both a true off-road vehicle and a desirable option for normal everyday transportation.
A completely new model 4Runner would not arrive until 2010. Toyota placed special emphasis on providing more off-road options with this generation of the 4Runner. The sport utility vehicle continues to this day to be a success for the automaker and a favorite among off-road enthusiasts across the country.

A Word For The Thick Headed And Slow Hearted Series
Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Apr 14, 2010 (message contributor)
Summary: When we recognize Jesus' presence we can live with trust and faith.
"A Word for the Thickheaded and Slow-Hearted"
There was an important business executive who boarded the New Orleans to Washington train. He had a very important business engagement and he needed to be awakened in order to get off the train in Atlanta about five o'clock in the morning. Since he was a heavy sleeper he found a porter and told him, "I want you to awaken me so that I might get off the train at five o'clock in the morning. Now I'm a heavy sleeper," he said. "It doesn't matter how much I fret and fuss and fume or what I do to you – I have to get off the train in Atlanta. If you have to remove me bodily," he said, "you get me off that train in Atlanta." Well, the next morning he awakened about 9 o'clock, having slept all night and having missed Atlanta, and found that he was speeding toward Washington. He located the porter and really poured it on with all sorts of abusive language, almost attacking the poor guy bodily. After he left, someone said to the porter, "How could you stand there and take that kind of talk from that man?" The porter said, rather bewildered, "That ain't nothin'! You should've heard that guy I put off in Atlanta!"
Too often we fail to get off at the right station and end up heading to where we do not want to go – especially when it comes to the resurrection of Jesus. We miss a major thrust of the resurrection and fail to live with the confidence and hope it can bring into our lives. And we're not alone – to the two men traveling to Emmaus Jesus said, "How foolish you are, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!" We need to hear this morning Jesus' words to those of us who are thickheaded and slow-hearted.
The scene opens (vs. 13) with two of Jesus' followers walking to Emmaus. They were in need of REFOCUSED MINDS. They were confused about all that had taken place. They were talking about all that happened to Jesus and the current rumors about His missing body. Their minds had a FIXATION OF THE PAST. It didn't make sense, they could not understand, they couldn't connect all the dots of the picture the prophets had painted. And because they couldn't understand, their hope had dimmed and their faith had frozen. They were walking in a mental fog.
How like us! The unexpected and unexplained happens. Divorce occurs; death strikes; illness ravages; relationships are broken; jobs disappear; unanticipated change breaks in. "It doesn't make sense! How could this happen? Who's to blame? Why didn't I know about it?" We have difficulty accepting it; we try to analyze it, get a handle on it, and understand it so we can feel some sense of control in our lives. We walk around in a fog, unable to exercise faith until we've connected all the dots and put all the pieces together.
Then along came Jesus! It's true – at first they did not recognize Him – but the point is, Jesus was there. He had not abandoned them. And Jesus just being there forced them to an ORIENTATION TO THE PRESENT. They had to refocus and deal with Jesus. And so do we. No matter what the situation JESUS WALKS WITH US. It's one thing to know that Jesus is in Heaven, but to know Him on the way is totally different. And Jesus is most companionable when we are troubled and confused. His presence brings the light of His countenance upon us, even if we cannot see Him or do not recognize Him. As long as we fixate on the past we will not see Him. IF YOUR HEAD IS HUNG IN DESPAIR, YOU CANNOT SEE THE HORIZON OF GOD'S PROVISION. But to know He's there allows us to begin to deal with Him. And when we deal with Him we become less worried about what we do not know or understand and more inclined to increase our faith. We become less concerned with control and more concerned with companionship. To know Jesus walks with us may not solve or eradicate all our problems or answer all our questions, but it reminds us Jesus will walk with us through them. THE HOUR OF OUR DISAPPOINTMENT IS THE MOMENT OF HIS APPOINTMENT. One poet penned it:
I came to the swift, raging river,
And the roar held the echo of fear;
"Oh, Lord, give me wings to fly over,
If you are, as You promised, quite near."
But He said, "Trust the grace I am giving,
All-pervasive, sufficient for you.
Take my hand – we will face this together;
But My plan is – not over, but through."

On 25 Dec 2018, lawyer Liu Zhengqing from Guangdong province received an "Advance Notification of Administrative Penalty" and a "Notification of Hearing on Administrative Penalty" from Department of Justice of Guangdong Province. Lawyer Liu is alleged to have delivered speeches that "endangered state security" and constituted "malicious defamation" in his statements of defense, and therefore violated "Administrative Measures for the Practice of Law by Lawyers". The authorities now set to revoke Liu's legal practice license. Lawyer Liu is the 26th rights lawyer who has suffered the administrative suppression since September 2017. In light of this, we strongly condemn the Chinese government's manoeuvre – repeatedly deprive human rights lawyer's right to practice through administrative punishment.
Lawyer Liu Zhengqing is an experienced human rights lawyer who specializes in criminal defense. In recent years, he has taken up several "politically sensitive" cases, including the cases of 709 lawyer Xie Yang, Qing Yongmin, Huang Qi and Zhang Haitao. The authorities have been employing "administrative punishment" as a means to suppress rights lawyers. As lawyer Liu is a well-known human rights lawyer who nobly represents numerous sensitive cases, we strongly question the administrative penalty imposed on lawyer Liu is in fact a form of reprisal and suppression.
Lawyers' roles and duties are to defend their clients. According to Article 16 of "UN Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers", the member states of United Nations shall ensure that lawyers "are able to perform all of their professional functions without intimidation, hindrance, or improper interference", and "shall not suffer, or be threatened with, prosecution or administrative, economic or other sanctions for any action taken in accordance with recognized professional duties, standards and ethics." Making a statement of defense is a fundamental means for lawyers to uphold clients' rights as well as to perform their professional duties. Ironically, however, this administrative penalty is exactly made against the statements in lawyer Liu's defense, undoubtedly undermining the freedom of speech.
We hereby solemnly demand the Chinese authorities and Department of Justice of Guangdong Province to:
1. Ensure the hearing is open to the public. From the experiences of previous hearings on administrative penalty, it is a common phenomenon that the public were barred from attending the hearing by unidentified people and public security officers. The public's right to know is thus severely undermined. We call on the court to allow the public as well as lawyers to attend the hearing without restriction or intimidation;
2. Immediately withdraw all the decisions in respect of administrative penalty made against lawyer Liu Zhengqing and other human rights lawyers in the past;
3. Ensure lawyers are able to perform professional functions without intimidation or hindrance; and shall not suffer prosecution or administrative penalty for any speech or action taken in accordance with their professional duties;
4. Duly abide by "the Chinese Constitution", "Lawyers Law" as well as the regulations concerning the protection of lawyers' rights in the "Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers" of United Nations, respecting lawyers' right to practice and their civil rights.

Proposed Trade
I am looking to move Eddie Lacy to improve my RB position and possibly add a WR. I'm currently 5-2 in a 10 team PPR league. My current team consists of P. Manning (QB), Kaepernick (QB), Lacy (RB), B Tate (RB), R. Jennings (RB), Richardson (RB), A. Brown (WR), M. Wallace (WR), K. Wright (WR), A. Robinson (WR), R. Wayne (WR), J. Cameron (TE), V. Davis (TE). The guy I'm looking to trade with, his team consists of Foles (QB), E. Manning (QB), Charles (RB), Ellington (RB), T. Mason (RB), M. Ball (RB), E. Sanders (WR), Garcon (WR), A. Johnson (WR), A. Boldin (WR), & Kelce (TE). I am looking at a trade of Lacy, Richardson, & V. Davis for Andre Ellington & Pierre Garcon. Should I do this or maybe target someone else from his team. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Fantasy Football Trade Analysis -
Thank you for using our fantasy football trade analyzer! Ellington is a great target in a PPR format. This scoring system also raises his price tag. If you think the other owner will take that deal I'd get it on the board right away, its a good deal for you despite the loss of RB depth you would experience. The main draws for him would be the "on paper" upgrade at tight end (i'm not convinced Vernon Davis will outscore or even catch up to Travis Kelce by year's end) and Lacy's favorable upcoming schedule. Trent Richardson is a bit of a throw in of course but might be enough to tip the scale in your favor. If I was him, I wouldn't take this deal. Ellington is too involved in the Arizona passing attack for me to give up in a PPR. I'd need a lot more incentive to break up that duo of Ellington and McCoy. Which brings me to my next point. If McCoy puts up a bad game against Arizona (which is very likely given their prowess against the run) I'd offer all 3 players for McCoy straight up. He may be just sick enough to do it and the Philly offensive line is getting better and healthier by the day - perfect time to buy low if he has a rough go of it today.
Best of luck in week 8! Drop by anytime or free fantasy football trade advice!

Nowadays, when you hear "Black Friday" we immediately think of hordes of people storming the shops to buy things and ridiculously cheap prices. Black Friday has a much longer history than you might think, however.
The name Black Friday goes back to a Wall street stock market crash in 1869. In the 1950's the police in Philadelphia used the name for the Friday after Thanksgiving when lots of people would rush to Philadelphia to watch the US Army-Navy football game. On that day the police had to work extra long hours and had to deal with a lot of crime. Soon the shops started to use the name and by the 1960's, the shops in Philadelphia began to use the name to promote incredible sales on that day. This is where Black Friday as we know it began. It wasn't until the 1980's though, before the name and tradition caught on in the rest of America.
The date of Black Friday changes every year because it is held on the day after Thanksgiving which is the last Thursday in November. So for the next few years it will be on the following dates:
- Black Friday 2018 – 23 November
- Black Friday 2019 – 29 November
- Black Friday 2020 – 27 November
- Black Friday 2021 – 26 November
You can find specials on every product you can imagine. You can buy everything from clothes to electronics and even groceries and cars. Unfortunately, shops generally don't reveal their Black Friday Specials until Black Friday itself. Luckily, many stores do a week-long "warm up" sale to get people ready. You can also join Facebook groups like this one where people share which places have specials etc.
If you miss Black Friday, don't fret. You won't have to wait a year for such great prices again. Black Friday is no longer only one day. Black Friday is followed by Small Business Saturday, Small Business Sunday and Cyber Monday. In South Africa shops don't generally do anything on Small Business Saturday and Small Business Sunday but there are many places like Takealot that do Cyber Monday so you still have a chance to snap up some amazing deals.

This session is complimentary for conference attendees, but you must sign up when you register.
Proper plan oversight and operation is essential in maintaining
governance on a governmental defined contribution plan. The most common
form of plan governance involves the creation of a specialized board (or
committee), usually appointed under the governing authority of the plan
sponsor. This session is dedicated to assisting those that serve on or
support a board or committee with their fiduciary and/or governance
This session will explore the following:
The Impossible Dream: How Storytelling Transforms Us
Technology, economics, politics, society: Every aspect of our world is changing faster than ever before. And from multinational conglomerates to small boutiques, more organizations are at risk for failure than any point in history. We—companies, teams, and human beings—must change too. We know this. It's why we launch innovation programs, design change initiatives, and roll out new strategies. We all want to build a bridge to the future.
The good news: We know that we need to accelerate our ability to change. The bad news: Most of us are doing it wrong. Why? We've lost sight of the one thing that has consistently enabled humans to achieve the impossible. The thing that empowered us to build world wonders, land man on the moon, cure devastating disease, and so much more. It's not technology, money, strategy, or any other external resource. To change our world, we need to change the stories we tell ourselves—the stories that shape who we are.
In this keynote, Matt reveals the transformative power of story. Leveraging his experience as a published author and corporate storyteller, Matt explains how storytelling can be your bridge to a brighter future. Whether you're an organization facing disruption, a team in conflict, or a person feeling lost in your career, Matt's case studies and exercises will introduce you to the tools you need to write (and live) your new story.
Equities can play a pivotal role in the long-term success of a retirement plan. This session will discuss what asset classes to include in a core lineup along with a review of available structures including mutual funds, collective investment trusts (CITs), and separate accounts.
This session will also include a review of current trends, best practices and other relevant topics including active versus passive investing, socially responsible screens such as ESG, alternative investments, private equity, and real estate.
Fixed income investments can play several key roles in a portfolio from minimizing market volatility to creating income in retirement. The industry continues to focus on solving the decumulation phase of retirement savings.
This session will discuss various fixed investments including Money Market, Stable Value, Bonds, and Fixed Annuities along with the associated potential benefits, restrictions, and other things to consider. This session will also explore the active/passive debate, the benefits of diversifying your portfolio beyond core bonds, and how income from bonds can be leveraged in retirement.
The concept of retirement can be difficult for many participants to conceptualize because it is not a part of their immediate future. High competition for a participant's attention and the emerging focus on integrated experiences can make developing successful communications campaigns difficult.
In this session attendees will learn how to incorporate best practices in each of these spaces to enable successful campaigns that drive positive outcomes.
The formal Request for Proposal (RFP) process can be a cumbersome and lengthy process that many plan sponsors dread, but it is an essential best practice for plan fiduciaries to follow on a regular basis. Many aspects of the RFP process are crucial to successfully selecting a recordkeeper, attaining competitive value for services, and executing and maintaining a successful contract.
This session will explore the following considerations in developing and executing a successful RFP and the resources that can be leveraged to assist in this process:
For many, a key benefit of working in the public sector is the availability of a defined benefit plan that provides guaranteed monthly income in retirement. Across the country, many governmental plans are facing significant headwinds to sustain their defined benefit plan, such as market volatility, inconsistent employer contributions, inappropriate benefit policies, etc.
This session will review:
New technology continues to alter everything in our lives, including how participants track and manage their portfolios. As we age and the pace of our lives change, enhanced tools may become even more important in helping participants remain flexible and adaptive to change.
This session will explore:
Cyber security is simultaneously one of the most pressing, and most confusing, topics in the defined contribution industry. Record keepers and asset managers must confront a global landscape of current and potential threats, while plans sponsors must understand how their industry partners are employing sound cyber security practices.
In this session, one of the nation's leading cyber security experts, Kelvin Coleman, Executive Director of the National Cyber Security Alliance, will give his assessment of the current state of this complex environment. He will be joined by one of the defined contribution industry's leading cyber security thinkers, David Levine of Groom Law Group, to distill the global picture down to what really matters to you. The result will be a session that bridges the gap between deep technical issues and practical solutions. It's something you certainly will not want to miss!

The Digital Fiduciary: Online Behavior and Retirement Success
In this talk, acclaimed behavioral economist Shlomo Benartzi will reveal how we can apply the latest behavioral economics research to help participants achieve a secure retirement. In the digital age, retirement security often depends more on fast decisions made on smartphones (and the designs that influence them) than on investment performance. Benartzi will outline a series of studies showing how improved digital design can dramatically enhance participant decision-making and boost financial security. For instance:
Benartzi will conclude by offering seven actionable steps for plan sponsors and advisors. It's no longer enough to worry about investment oversight. We now have a duty to also focus on how our digital designs can shape the decisions of participants, and how better design can lead to better outcomes.

It is essential for plan sponsors to understand their fiduciary duties in the context of our industry's current landscape, including the potential for conflicts of interest, to achieve the best results for your plans and to anticipate concerns they may face in the future. Given the recent wave of litigation against ERISA defined contribution plan fiduciaries, lessons can be learned on how to scrutinize plan costs and provider services in order for their plans to remain competitive and attractive to their participants. This session is dedicated to educating attendees about the current state of fiduciary issues facing defined contribution plans.

Soaring with Eagles
The story of 9/11 hero Captain Al Fuentes of the FDNY Marine Division. Captain Fuentes, now retired, was buried in the rubble of the World Trade Center for nearly two hours before being rescued by his fellow firefighters. Join us as Captain Fuentes shares his account of that fateful day in 2001. His story is one of sacrifice, survival and perseverance.
The first question most participants have once they elect to defer to their retirement via a defined contribution plan is, "Where should I put my money?" Studies have shown that over 90 percent of long-term investment returns are attributable to decisions about one's asset allocation – NOT timing the market or stock picking. For many, this question is very daunting, and rightfully so. Asset allocation decisions can have nearly as much effect on the success of a plan as saving money in the first place. Taking on more risk requires some trade-offs but could be worth it.
This session will discuss the importance of:
Historically, wellness was comprised solely of physical health and plan sponsors focused on helping employees improve their physical numbers (i.e., blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol). Today, a more holistic approach to wellness exists which includes financial health. For many, money is the biggest stress in their lives and impacts every part of their health – mind, body and spirit. Plan sponsors and recordkeepers are now striving to focus on employees' overall financial health through measures such as targeted communication campaigns and offering financial wellness scores.
This session will focus on:
Participants have spent decades preparing for the much-anticipated day they can retire. As that day approaches, participants typically experience anxiety on how to navigate the decision-making process to ensure a successful retirement. As a plan sponsor, retiree assets may represent a significant portion of plan assets and retaining those assets generally helps the plan as well as the participant. This session will provide guidance on helping participants navigate this phase of their lives.

How Does an Ultrasound Machine Work
Smita Pandit
Mar 12, 2019
Ultrasound imaging is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure which uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the internal organs of the body. This ScienceStruck post provides information on how an ultrasound machine works.
Vscan, a palm-sized ultrasound imaging device developed by GE Healthcare and funded by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), allows physicians to monitor pregnancies, view internal organs, and check for problems associated with blood flow.
The term 'ultrasound' refers to a frequency that is above the range of human hearing.
Ultrasound imaging, which is also known as diagnostic medical sonography, is a non-invasive imaging procedure that involves the use of high-frequency sound waves for diagnostic, as well as therapeutic purposes. It is considered to be safer than X-rays and CT scans, as it doesn't involve the use of ionizing radiation.
An ultrasound machine is a computer-integrated diagnostic tool. It comprises of a transducer probe, CPU, monitor, keyboard with control knobs, disk storage devices, and printer. Its components work collectively for producing images of the internal organs.
Ultrasound Imaging and Reverse Piezoelectric Effect
Piezoelectric crystals are crystals that generate a charge when they are subjected to mechanical stress. The transformation of mechanical energy into electrical energy is referred to as piezoelectric effect. Quartz, barium titanate, lead niobate, lead zirconate titanate, etc., are some of the piezoelectric materials.
In case of an ultrasound, pulsed ultrasound waves are generated with the help of piezoelectric crystals that are placed in a hand-held probe called transducer. When an electric current is applied to the piezoelectric crystal, it induces mechanical stress.
This is referred to as reverse piezoelectric effect. It is the reverse piezoelectric effect that is relied upon for the production of ultrasound waves.
When an electric current is applied to these crystals, it brings about a rapid change in their shape. This causes the crystals to produce sound waves that travel outward. When these sound or pressure waves bounce back and hit the crystals, they emit electric current.
The frequency used for the purpose of ultrasound imaging is within 2 - 15 MHz. There is an inverse relationship between the wavelength and frequency of ultrasound waves. High-frequency ultrasound waves have short wavelength, and low-frequency ultrasound waves have long wavelength.
High frequencies are used for scanning the organs or tissues that are close to the surface. High-frequency waves provide images of high resolution. Though low frequencies waves can penetrate to deeper structures, they provide images of lower resolution.
Components of an Ultrasound Machine
Nowadays, ultrasound machines are readily available, and widely used for diagnostic purposes. Let's find out how ultrasound waves are produced and transmitted via these machines.
Central Processing Unit
The CPU contains power supplies for the transducer probe and the microprocessor, a set of circuits that connect the CPU to the computer.
Its task is to receive the data and provide output by processing the data as per the stored directions. In an ultrasound, the CPU sends electric current to the transducer, and processes the information sent by the processor into 2D or 3D images. These images can be seen on the monitor.
The transducer is an integral component of an ultrasound.
The term 'transducer' refers to a device that converts energy from one form to another. This device acts as the transmitter, as well as the receiver. During an ultrasound, a gel is applied on the targeted body part to prevent the sound waves from getting distorted. The probe is moved back and forth over that part of the body.
The application of an electric current to the crystals in the transducer leads to the generation of the ultrasound waves. The reflection of the ultrasound waves occurs at the boundary of different types of tissue. The transducer converts the mechanical energy of the ultrasound waves that bounce back off the targeted organ into an electric current.
The CPU then processes the information regarding the pitch and amplitude of the sound, and the time taken by the ultrasound waves to get reflected on to the transducer for generating 2D or 3D images of the internal organs.
Other Components
➞ The sonogram technician can use the keyboard for adding notes and taking measurements of the image. The transducer pulse controls can be used to vary the duration and frequency of the ultrasound pulses, or change the scan mode.
➞ The processed data from the CPU is turned into an image, which can be seen on the monitor.
➞ The processed data and/or images can be stored on the hard disk along with the patient's medical records.
➞ The ultrasound technician can also select an image, which can be printed by a thermal printer that is connected to the ultrasound.
Ultrasound has various uses in diagnostics, but it has become indispensable for analyzing the fetal development. While the conventional ultrasound provides two-dimensional images for three-dimensional human anatomy, it's now possible to generate 3D and 4D images.
While the 3D scans are still pictures of the embryo in three dimensions, the moving three-dimensional images of the embryo are referred to as 4D scans. Though adverse effects have not been linked to the use of ultrasound, concerns have been raised on account of the possible link between the abuse of ultrasounds and thermal effects of ultrasound waves.
For instance, if the probe is left at one spot for a long period, it could cause the temperature to rise at that spot. To reduce such risks, it is extremely essential that the ultrasound machine is handled by an experienced sonographer.

Node is fast, scalable, and easy to get started with. Its default package manager is npm, which means it also sports the largest ecosystem of open-source libraries. Node is used by companies such as NASA, Uber, Netflix, and Walmart.
But Node doesn't come alone. It comes with a plethora of frameworks. A Node framework can be pictured as the external scaffolding that you can build your app in. These frameworks are built on top of Node and extend the technology's functionality, mostly by making apps easier to prototype and develop, while also making them faster and more scalable.
Below are 7of the most popular Node frameworks at this point in time (ranked from high to low by GitHub stars).Express
With over 43,000 GitHub stars, Express is the most popular Node framework. It brands itself as a fast, unopinionated, and minimalist framework. Express acts as middleware: it helps set up and configure routes to send and receive requests between the front-end and the database of an app.
Express provides lightweight, powerful tools for HTTP servers. It's a great framework for single-page apps, websites, hybrids, or public HTTP APIs. It supports over fourteen different template engines, so developers aren't forced into any specific ORM.Meteor
The project has over 41,000 GitHub stars and is built to power large projects. Meteor is used by companies such as Mazda, Honeywell, Qualcomm, and IKEA. It has excellent documentation and a strong community behind it.Koa
Koa is built by the same team that built Express. It uses ES6 methods that allow developers to work without callbacks. Developers also have more control over error-handling. Koa has no middleware within its core, which means that developers have more control over configuration, but which means that traditional Node middleware (e.g. req, res, next) won't work with Koa.
Koa already has over 26,000 GitHub stars. The Express developers built Koa because they wanted a lighter framework that was more expressive and more robust than Express. You can find out more about the differences between Koa and Express here.Sails
Sails is a real-time, MVC framework for Node that's built on Express. It supports auto-generated REST APIs and comes with an easy WebSocket integration.
The project has over 20,000 stars on GitHub and is compatible with almost all databases (MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Redis). It's also compatible with most front-end technologies (Angular, iOS, Android, React, and even Windows Phone).Nest
Nest has over 15,000 GitHub stars. It uses progressive JavaScript and is built with TypeScript, which means it comes with strong typing. It combines elements of object-oriented programming, functional programming, and functional reactive programming.
Nest is packaged in such a way it serves as a complete development kit for writing enterprise-level apps. The framework uses Express, but is compatible with a wide range of other libraries.LoopBack
LoopBack is a framework that allows developers to quickly create REST APIs. It has an easy-to-use CLI wizard and allows developers to create models either on their schema or dynamically. It also has a built-in API explorer.
LoopBack has over 12,000 GitHub stars and is used by companies such as GoDaddy, Symantec, and the Bank of America. It's compatible with many REST services and a wide variety of databases (MongoDB, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL).Hapi
Similar to Express, hapi serves data by intermediating between server-side and client-side. As such, it's can serve as a substitute for Express. Hapi allows developers to focus on writing reusable app logic in a modular and prescriptive fashion.
The project has over 11,000 GitHub stars. It has built-in support for input validation, caching, authentication, and more. Hapi was originally developed to handle all of Walmart's mobile traffic during Black Friday.
The most common thing between all of them is that they are Single Page Apps. The SPA is a single page where much of the information remains the same and only some piece of data gets modified when you click on other categories/option.
This courseis designed for professionals who aspire to be application developers and gain expertise in building real-time, highly-scalable applications in Node.js. The following professionals can go for this course :
