God's presence is pictured as a cloud. So perhaps our prayer should not be for the cloud to lift, so much as for our vision to clarify, to expand, to realize that God is God and works in His own ways that we can not control or predict. So please pray for us today: for a lifting of the oppressive sense of too-much . . or for a deep faith that we are immersed in the cloud of the substance of God Himself.

Pray for Clearing?
There is a heavy physical cloud over Bundibugyo this morning, the kind that brings thick humid air and dim morning light, the kind that slows movement and paints the world in discouraging colors. We could use some cloud-lifting prayers today. Over 200 families will begin arriving for Kwejuna Project in the next hour, and it is an all-day all-out effort to interact with each, ensure that they are enrolled in preventive care, to weigh and measure and dispense, and to pray for them in small groups. As the school term winds down into it's final two weeks, so does our summer and its plethora of extra projects and ministries, all good but also draining. Caleb keeps reminding us that he will leave home, essentially, in less than two weeks, and Luke keeps reminding us that we are in some ways less available to him in person than by phone at RVA. On Tuesday I found 49 patients admitted to our 23-bed ward, and yesterday I enrolled our 31rst severe acute malnutrition admission for the month (previous average 13/month). There are heart-aches and griefs among the people we care about; there is change ahead for our team as we evaluate Christ School and its improvement. The sheer coordination of meals and movements feels complicated; no one is getting the attention they deserve. Yesterday Scott spent most of his morning caring for a neighbor who fell out of a tree as he was trying to cut branches from it inour yard, who broke his ankle and possibly has vertebral fractures, serious injuries. And to top it all off, there is a dead something somewhere in our walls, attic, or under an un-movable sink cabinet, so our bathroom is permeated with a putrid smell which we've failed to locate the source of.

Praying. Mostly for the children. But also for the ministry. And for your encouragement. God bless.
- Travis said...
We are praying.
Oswald Chambers encourages us that "Clouds are the sorrows, sufferings, or providential circumstances, within or without our personal lives, which actually seem to contradict the sovereignty of God. Yet it is through these very clouds that the Spirit of God is teaching us how to walk by faith. If there were no clouds in our lives, we would have no faith. "The clouds are the dust of his feet" (Nahum 1:3). They are a sign that God is there."
And God is there. We will pray that He will show Himself in tangible ways today.

A Gwinnett County family was displaced after their home caught fire in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Firefighters arrived at the home located in the 100 block of Ashland Manor Drive SE at 3:09 a.m. to find flames pouring from the roof.
The two-story home had heavy smoke billowing from the roof and the back porch of the residence.
Three adults and a dog were in the home when neighbors alerted them to the fire.
Smoke detectors inside the home did not activate due to the location of the flames.
Firefighters say the family was using a charcoal grill on the back porch, and were able to determine it as the accidental cause.
The home sustained extensive damage to the second floor, water damage in the attic and smoke damage throughout the home.
A neighboring home also sustained radiant heat damage to its vinyl siding.

Teen charged over death of woman at Melbourne CBD apartment
Teen charged over death of woman at Melbourne CBD apartment
Photo: Laa Chol, 19, was killed in a short-stay apartment in Melbourne's CBD after a dispute between two groups of young people at a party on July 21, 2018. (Instagram)
A 17-year-old from Sunshine North in Melbourne has been charged by Victoria Police over the death of a woman at a short-stay apartment complex in the CBD early on Saturday morning.
Laa Chol, 19, from Pakenham in Melbourne's outer south-east, died after she received serious injuries at EQ Tower in A'Beckett Street.
Emergency services were called to the tower but Ms Chol died at the scene.
Police said the boy was being interviewed by the homicide squad, and later said he had been charged with one count of murder.
He will appear in court on Tuesday.
No information has been released on how Ms Chol died.
On Saturday investigators said they believed everyone at the apartment was in their late teens or early twenties.
Earlier on Monday police dismissed suggestions Ms Chol's killing was related to "warring factions" within Melbourne's African-Australian community.

Sydney Gould and Maddison Nadeau, eighth graders at Crown Point Central School, contributed to the new school garden by planting seeds into starter boxes in their greenhouse.
CROWN POINT — Students from kindergarten through twelfth grade are putting on their gardening gloves and digging into the dirt at Crown Point Central School this spring.
The school received a grant through the "Dig It, A School Gardens Curriculum Program," which was launched by Tractor Supply Company in partnership with the National Agriculture in the Classroom Organization.
Bill Clark, the teacher who is leading the gardening project, said this is the first garden the school has ever done and it's about "learning what a garden is and seeing it grow" and "incorporating real life" into what they teach.
For the tech instructor, the excitement lies within everything he is able to teach the kids through the technology side of the project. He said they incorporated a greenhouse, which the kids built from scrap wood, and includes a fan to suck out manure fumes, and a thermometer.
They didn't have water to keep the garden hydrated, he said, so some of the guys figured out the plumbing to run a water line from one side of the tech room to the other, and out the window.
"What's kind of fun," he said, "is incorporating math, science and technology."
His ninth grade class completed technical drawings of the size and shape of the garden for one of their classes.
Clark decided it should be planted right outside the technology room, where the kids will see it when they get off the bus.
The instructor, who has taught in the city in the past and appreciates the amount of land in the area, said he thinks everyone should have a garden here.
Planting in a visible area, he said, will help keep the kids thinking about it.
The garden, he said, with the exception of marigolds to deter animals with the smell, is all veggies. They're planting corn, pumpkins, zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, potatoes and onions.
Two eighth graders, Sydney Gould and Maddison Nadeau, said one thing they did to contribute was planting onion and squash seeds into starter planters and were amazed to see how much the plants had grown since they planted them.
"We've never done anything like this," Nadeau said.
Both girls said this is a "cool and creative" project and are glad to be a part of it.
Clark said the question they're working to answer is, what to do with the food once it comes.

Asus most models of the GeForce GT 1030 have active cooling
Asus has released three GeForce GT 1030. Unlike many other manufacturers, Asus only one model is a passive low profile card.
This model runs at slightly higher frequencies GPU: 1266/1506 MHz, but it is in the case of the profile activation OC Mode. Memory 2 GB works on standard frequency of 6000 MHz. Set of ports includes DVI and HDMI.
The other two models (Phoenix 1030 GeForce GT OC and GeForce GT Phoenix 1030) made on the PCB of a typical format and is equipped with active coolers with a sufficiently large, in comparison with many other options GT 1030, fans.
They differ only frequency of a kernel. In the first case it 1278/1531 MHz, and the second 1266/1506 MHz. Again the memory is not overclocked. Ports set the same as the passive version.

Los Angeles Dodgers' Ryu Hyun-jin seems to be losing his grip on the Cy Young Award.
The South Korean left-hander got rocked by the New York Yankees to the tune of three homers and seven earned runs in 4 1/3 innings at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Friday (local time). The Dodgers lost 10-2 as Ryu suffered his second straight loss and dropped to 12-4 for the season. He hadn't lost consecutive starts since Sept. 5 and 11 last year.
Ryu entered the game with a major league-best 1.64 ERA, but it has now risen to 2.00. It's still the best mark in baseball, but Ryu's highest since May 7.
Ryu struck out seven and walked one, while 63 of his 90 pitches went for strikes.
Ryu was roughed up in his previous start against the Atlanta Braves, serving up back-to-back home runs for his third multi-homer game of the season and suffering his first loss in nearly two months.
He was even worse against the Yankees, as the three home runs and seven runs both matched his season highs and his bid to become the first South Korean winner of the Cy Young Award took a beating as well.
The biggest blow came in the form of a grand slam by Didi Gregorius in the five-run fifth.
The Yankees came into the contest as the No. 2 team in baseball in dingers with 232 and third best on-base plus slugging percentage with .831.
Ryu struck out two batters in the scoreless first inning but got into a jam in the next inning after an error and a double put men at second and third with nobody out.
Ryu got Brett Gardner to fly out to left and then struck out the next two batters to foil the Yankees' first rally of the game.
But the Yankees solved Ryu with two long balls in the top of the third, First, Aaron Judge took him deep over the left-center field wall for a solo shot and a 1-0 New York lead.
Two batters later, Gary Sanchez also hit a solo home run for a 2-0 advantage. Ryu hadn't given up more than two runs in consecutive starts since April.
The Dodgers got a run back in the bottom third on A.J. Pollock's RBI single, but the Yankees put up a five-spot in the fifth.
Ryu gave up two straight singles to start the inning. After a groundout, Ryu intentionally walked Sanchez to load the bases and bring the double play into the equation against the left-handed batting Gregorius.
But Gregorious ambushed Ryu on the first-pitch fastball and drove it over the right-center field wall for the slam.
Ryu gave up a double to Gio Urshela and was relieved by Adam Kolarek with the Yankees leading 6-1. Gardner greeted the new pitcher with an RBI double, and Urshela's run was charged to Ryu.
The Yankees added a run each in the sixth, eighth and the ninth, while the Dodgers managed just one more run in the seventh in the rout.
Ryu pitched wearing a special uniform bearing his name in Korean, as part of Major League Baseball's Players Weekend activities allowing players to wear their nicknames on the back. (Yonhap)

As much as we believe all bodies are beautiful, retouched magazine covers seem determined to have us think otherwise. The latest cover photo controversy involves Black Panther star Lupita Nyong'o, whose hair looked dramatically different during the photo shoot than it did on the November issue of Grazia UK. Instead of just rebuking the magazine, though, the 34-year-old actress turned the controversy into a conversation.
Nyong'o shared the startling before-and-after photos on Instagram on November 9, showing how someone erased her textured ponytail.
"As I have made clear so often in the past with every fiber of my being, I embrace my natural heritage and despite having grown up thinking light skin and straight, silky hair were the standards of beauty, I now know that my dark skin and kinky, coily hair are beautiful, too," the Academy Award winner wrote.
"Being featured on the cover of a magazine fulfills me as it is an opportunity to show other dark, kinky-haired people, and particularly our children, that they are beautiful just the way they are."
"I am disappointed that @graziauk invited me to be on their cover and then edited out and smoothed my hair to fit their notion of what beautiful hair looks like," Nyong'o continued. "Had I been consulted, I would have explained that I cannot support or condone the omission of what is my native heritage with the intention that they appreciate that there is still a very long way to go to combat the unconscious prejudice against black women's complexion, hair style, and texture. #dtmh"
For its part, Grazia UK apologized to Nyong'o in a tweet posted this morning, November 10, claiming it is "committed to representing diversity throughout its pages."
The editors claimed they didn't realize someone had retouched the actress's hair. "Grazia magazine would like to make it clear that at no point did they make any editorial request to the photographer for Lupita Nyong'o's hair to be altered on this week's cover, nor did we alter it ourselves," the magazine's tweet continued. "But we apologise unreservedly for not upholding the highest of editorial standards in ensuring that we were made aware of all alterations that had been made."
If Lupita's "#dtmh" hashtag sounds familiar, you might be remembering Solange Knowles' Instagram response when Evening Standard magazine erased her elaborate braid on its October issue cover photo — a hashtag referencing her song "Don't Touch My Hair."
"Don't touch my hair / When it's the feelings I wear," Knowles sings on the track. "Don't touch my soul / When it's the rhythm I know / Don't touch my crown / They say the vision I've found / Don't touch what's there / When it's the feelings I wear."
Meanwhile, readers praised Allure for not touching Kerry Washington's natural hair for the photo shoot accompanying her November cover story. "I want [my children] to know that their hair is perfect as it is," the Scandal star told the magazine. "They don't have to change it or straighten it."
We need only cover photos like that Allure one — and none of the excessive retouching someone committed for that Grazia UK pic — if these beauty magazines are going make us all feel included.

Just a little more than two years after it opened, Margaritaville Casino in Biloxi will close its doors on or before, Sept. 19, the casino said today in a memo to its employees.
"MVB Holding, LLC has been actively working to resolve a dispute with its landlords to secure financing to build a hotel and other amenities that it believes would have enabled MVB to keep Margaritaville-Biloxi open. Unfortuately, those efforts were not successful," the notice of closing memo said.
"As a result,the Board of Directors regrets to inform you that MVB will be closing on or before September 19, 2014. Once closed, we expect the closing of the entire MVB-Biloxi site to be permanent."
"It's unfortunate, but it is a sign of the times," said Allen Godfrey, executive director of the Mississippi Gaming Commission. "I believe it does solidify the idea of amenities and hotels. While those are not guarantees to success, they often do lead to success. I understand Margaritaville was wanting to get there."
The Margaritaville memo said workers who stay on the job will continue to receive wages through Sept. 19, even if the casino closes sooner. According to the gaming commission website, Margaritaville employs 359 total workers, the smallest staff of the 12 casinos on the Coast.
"Our hearts certainly go out to Margaritaville employees and their families," said Biloxi Chief Administrative Officer David Nichols, "and we're hopeful that the state's rapid response dislocated worker unit will be able to help these workers find new employment.
"Developments like this are not uncommon in the Mississippi gaming industry. We operate in a free-market system, and a number of factors come into play, including location, amenities, marketing, management and so forth. In the 20-plus years since gaming opened in Biloxi, we've seen a number of casinos come and go – Lady Luck, Gold Coast, Casino Magic, the President and the Biloxi Belle, to name a few — but the Biloxi casino market remains strong."
Margaritaville has been plagued with problems since it tried to open several years ago.
In March of 2013, the casino was fined $10,000 by the Mississippi Gaming Commission because it did not have the minimum amount of money required to be kept on site.
Margaritaville is the second Mississippi casino to close this summer. In June, Harrah's Tunica closed, a victim of the competitive casino market that has hurt north Mississippi. Margaritaville suffered from a lack of amenities, while Harrah's was the largest operation in Tunica when it closed.
"Those two casinos closed for compeletely different reasons," said Godfrey. "The market in Tunica and the market in Biloxi are two different markets."

Know Before You Go
The Museum is located downstairs in the former crypt, with an entrance on Newark Street at the eastern end of the church. Whitechapel is the nearest stop on the Underground.
Hours are Tuesday - Friday from 10am to 4:30pm, but it's a good idea to call ahead before making a special trip (with a small staff, the hours are occasionally adjusted).
Admission is free, but donations are always welcome.

Here's my Wesleyan confession: I read the long version of the Westminster Confession (all 190-plus Q&A) for the first time a few weeks ago. I found some surprises. The biggest was that one of the sins considered forbidden by the first commandment is "making men the lords of our faith and conscience."
Now, we all know that the writers meant "men" to be "humans." But in our churches and homes, very often we make "humans" be "men." That is to say, men are given charge of the faith and conscience of their wives, their daughters, the women in Bible studies and small groups and entire congregations.
At the same time, I have been reading some very painful discussion online among Christian women with abusive husbands.
Is it God or Church Shame that Rules Abused Wives?
I ask myself: Is it God who is ruling these women's faith and conscience, making it so difficult for them to even separate from a man who mistreats them and their children? Or are they ruled by the need to appear proper (and to avoid being shunned) in the Christian church? Are they standing by their man, their vow to God, or their vow before other Christians? And what is the meaning of that vow when one party chooses not to engage in any of its responsibilities? Are these kinds of men supposed to be ruling their wives' faith and consciences? Are these the kinds of men God intends to have leadership in homes?
Shut Out from Church, Abused Woman Shelters at Bus Station
Then again, I remember an elderly friend who grew up in an abusive home. Her mother was a lay street preacher who had met her husband in The Salvation Army, where they had belonged until her husband's behavior got them both kicked out. When my friend's father came home drunk, her mother would gather up the children and get them out of the house before he could begin beating any of them. They would spend the night in a nearby bus station, where they became so well known that the porter would wake them in the morning:
"It's okay. He's gone to work now. You can go home."
My friend asked her mother once why she didn't leave that violent, dangerous drunk. Her mother answered with tears in her eyes: "I could never leave him not knowing that he will be with Jesus when he dies."
The mother was long gone to the Lord before the drunk finally became a Christian, with (in their old-fashioned language) "evidence of a changed life."
That woman's concern for her alcoholic husband was something quite different from what I heard reported from a Christian women's conference at a well-known conservative church.
Retired Missionary: 'Trust and Obey God and Husband'
The speaker, a retired missionary who has outlived two husbands so far (the first killed on the mission field), received questions in writing only. One asked what a wife should do if her husband was abusive.
"Abuse? I don't understand these accusations of abuse," she is reported to have said. "We are to trust and obey God, trust and obey our husbands."
This is so radically different from the answer given by my friend's mother. What would have happened to the mother and children if she had "trusted and obeyed" her drunk husband? Did the missionary really believe that God's purposes would best be served by having the woman and children physically battered and broken in the hope of shaming the husband into repenting sooner? Is this what God asks of women married to dangerous men? Or should they run and stay safe as needed, but remain in the marriage and pray? Should they "turn him over to Satan" by leaving him on his own?
I truly don't know the right answer. But I know that we are wrong when we make any man, including our husbands, to be "the lords of our faith and conscience."

There are quite a few other reasons to bank offshore besides minimizing your tax liability. Based on where the bank is licenced you might be safeguarded by means of a scheme with that jurisdiction. You never actually have to go to your offshore bank.
The bank might not be inclined to serve non-resident businesses, they may blacklist certain jurisdictions, and they can have additional legal or policy requirements for particular nations like the USA. You do not need to physically see your offshore bank. Offshore banks provide several benefits and flexibility if you're moving offshore. They are located in juridictions that offer low taxation on deposit and gains. They make money by doing business with foreigners. They are also located in other places all over the world. Each offshore bank and foreign jurisdiction has its own requirements, and that means you'll need to do some studying to get the specifics related to your circumstance First Security Bank Solutions, Inc.
What You Should Do to Find Out About Offshore Bank Before You're Left Behind
Some banks will permit you to give documentation via mail. In the event the bank is connected with the government, the probability of happy remote banking increases. The banks will mainly consider personal specifics of the people involved with the organization, the company model of the organization and prospective profit from the possible client to the bank. It is crucial to select the foreign bank that delivers tax free or an enormous tax rebate. Even though some offshore banks have a bad reputation, the service supplied by the majority is significant to the financial well-being of expats. They offer checks. Many offshore banks provide accounts in many currencies.
All banks require that you give appropriate identification. You may need more than your regional bank can provide. The local bank is obviously not likely to take out a TV ad telling you that you are able to find a lot greater rate offshore. Onshore banks don't provide a high level of foreign financial services.
Offshore banking is an excellent start. It is often associated with a high level of financial sophistication. It is often associated with a high level of financial sophistication and, sometimes, chicanery. It refers to the deposit of funds by a company or individual in a bank that is located outside their national residence. In fact, it is actually recognized as a necessary tool of the trade for international business and is a very big part of the international financial system. Labuan Offshore banking comprises a considerable part of the international financial system.
Due to the false information regarding offshore banking, the majority of people do not even ask. Offshore banking has increased rapidly all around the world since mid-1960s due to the rise and liquidity of Eurocurrency markets. Employing offshore banking for tax evasion purposes is what isn't legal, and that's usually what is connected with offshore banking in general and is the reason for the misconception.
Offshore banking has to be directed only at foreign nationals that are non-residents. It is also associated with criminal activities such as money laundering. It is an important part of global financial transactions. It is becoming very common in the financial world. Offshore Internet banking is utilized by those who hold a financial institution account outside their country of residence.

negatives and prints was a norm as late as the nineties. There were no serious artists or photographers that did not get their negatives and prints spotted. Not Helmut Newton, not Sebastião Salgado,…not Ansel Adams. But today, one of the few remaining masters of retouching film negatives and prints is Katherine Gillis. And she's hoping to share her skills in something that is both art and science.
Retouching Analog Prints (and Ansel Adams)
Yeah, we know how to remove dust and bring clarity to a digital file. But if you're still working with silver halide darkroom prints, what was once a common thing is now becoming a lost art. Katherine Gillis studied at Veronica Cass Academy in Florida, the place to go to get the best training at the time. In Santa Fe and Colorado she worked in color labs, perfecting techniques she'd been taught and developed on her own.
While working for a lab in Santa Fe, Alan Ross, master photographer and printer of the Ansel Adams Yosemite Special Edition Prints, contacted her. A former Adams assistant, he asked if she would attempt the spotting for some limited-edition Adams prints. She couldn't contain her excitement – or her anxiety at being given that opportunity at such a young age.
Many photographers started seeking her out, and for more than 20 years, she ran her own company, 'Perfected Image'. Alan Ross continued to ship her Ansel Adams prints. She was often working 18- hour days. But it was doing what she loved best.
The Great Digital Takeover
Fewer photographers were using film. The siren call of "digital" was consuming vast portions of the population. And then a few years ago, the surprise resurgence of film had many photographers moving back. And the under 35 crowd was taking up more and more of the marketplace. (according to Ilford sales) Magazines started requesting film photography. (Purple magazine, etc.) But during that digital tsunami, many professional retouchers found themselves out of work.
But Katherine Gillis hung in there with Alan Ross and his prints and the photographers who decided not to disappear into digital. But then she needed to supplement her income. As fate would have it, an inattentive driver rear-ended her stopped car at 55 mph. She was so impressed with how the medics handled the scene that she wanted to give back. Hence, she trained as a volunteer ambulance driver and soon trained as an EMT herself.
A Dead End?
End of a retouching career, with a lost art vanishing altogether? Not likely. While doing both for many years, the resurgence in film photography has not only grown her retouching schedule, but inspired her to give back after 20 years as a Master retoucher. As she continued with custom retouching, she knew it was also her time to teach, and share her skills. Pass the baton, so to speak. Not holding anything back, she shares with professional and beginner photographers everything she knows about retouching and spotting in a new online course. Something that was only possible with onsite workshops a few years ago.
Become a Fearless Traditional Retoucher & Spotter
Together, with photographer Carol Butler, she is debuted her online school with a full retouching course with discounts for EU students to offset VAT. Her course, "Become a Fearless Traditional Retoucher & Spotter" was beta-launched in January 2017, but has now advanced substantially. With the plethora of testimonials, she is still adding content about dyes, special papers and all the other "tricks of the trade".
Providing valuable archival services will become paramount in the growing world of silver halide. Marshall's appears to be one of the few companies to survive who provide transparent dyes for both photos and negatives.There are things in life that still require the human touch. A tattoo, an original oil painting, a chef's genius. And this is one of those things that needs our human selves,…not our digital assimile. Join Katherine and learn retouching at her online courses and workshops, or to retain her services, at her website below.

Any thoughts on the wallpaper we put up on the site? It's a little homage to Jim Cohen - it's a pair of his steeple cabs and one of his 1764's. I know it's hard to tell but I do think they always look nice and add a little class.
I have quite a few pics I am getting ready to post (including one of my new standard gauge "beer" train). Anyone else have any new standard gauge they picked up this summer? Come on, send me some pictures!

Asia's biggest economies are sinking into debt as India gives out an increasing number of bad loans and credit in China's banks accumulates similarly to how it did in the U.S. before the Great Recession, the Telegraph reports.
Why it matters: Global banks, some of which are still recovering, are more vulnerable to crisis than they were in 2006, before the U.S. housing bubble burst, per a World Economic Forum report. "There is still too much debt in parts of the private sector, and top global banks are still 'too big to fail,'" per the report.

The Dust Will Answer
1978: The wave of gentrification has yet to break over downtown Los Angeles, and vast swathes of the warehouse district lie nearly abandoned next to the city's concrete-clad river. Lenny Strasser, a straight-arrow with a taste for shady places, plunges into that world to discover that sometimes the only distance between two points is a very crooked line. When his friend Dave Larrabee nags him into tracking down a missing girlfriend, Lenny suspects that the girl doesn't want to be found. She had beens his before she was Dave's, and she'd gone gleefully missing from his life one time too many. But this time, she may have fallen, again, into the hands of the charismatic Nighthawk, who could lead her into territories where the danger is real, and Kate's penchant for role-playing no protection from harm. The quest takes them into hobo jungles and punk squats by the LA River–and into an after-midnight darkness of moral ambiguity that changes Lenny's life in ways he'd never dreamed of.$2.99

I think Brett was always trying to find himself. He
went to Naval Station Great Lakes, near Chicago, for
basic training. He came down with pneumonia, again. It
almost killed him, but he cleared basic. He was assigned
to the USS Coral Sea. His bunk was a deck above the
missile room; he said the missiles fell off the racks in
rough seas and clanked side to side. I asked if that ever
worried him; he said no—You had to arm the nuclear
warheads, and if they did go off, it wouldn't matter, as
he'd be cosmic dust. Pretty good attitude, I thought.
He sent me pictures when he was playing golf in the
Philippines. He had a girl on each arm—"Those are my
caddies," he wrote.
After Brett's death, my therapy was to work with the local
suicide hotline. I served on its board for several years. I tried
to help fresh survivors know that while we can't ignore what
happened, there were many happy times to remember,
and many opportunites to help those who were struggling
with the wolf at the door, as well as those left behind in the
survivors' club.
It took me 17 years to get over my brother's death. Every
birthday, every holiday, every day—I couldn't get it off my
mind. I finally decided one day to get over it. I decided that
every time a negative thought about the way Brett died
hit me, I would shift to positive memories. I'd read letters
he wrote me, flip through photos he sent me, recall happy
times. It got easier as time marched on.

Thousands of rail passengers in north Kent are set for cheaper fares and more convenient journeys from Wednesday 9 March as pay as you go with contactless and Oyster is extended to Southeastern and Thameslink services to and from Swanley.
Pay as you go fares are cheaper than paper tickets and are the same regardless whether you use a contactless payment or an Oyster card. As part of the introduction, Swanley will also move into the London zones for the first time, allowing customers to now use a Zone 1-8 Travelcard to complete their journey.
The extension of pay as you go to Swanley forms part of TfL's, Southeastern's and Govia Thameslink Railway's (GTR's) wider work to make life easier for customers.
Last year, pay as you go was extended to Dartford, with around 16,000 journeys now made using pay as you go with contactless payment or Oyster cards from this station every week.
Extending pay as you go to Swanley also means that a range of concessions, such as free travel for children under 10 and veterans, will now also be available on services into London.
A standard anytime National Rail single fare from London to Swanley is currently £8.80, but from 9 March the new pay as you go peak fare will be £7.10 (saving £1.70) and £4.10 off peak (saving £4.70).
Currently, a Day Travelcard from Swanley to Zones 1-6 costs £22.40 (anytime) or £13.60 (off-peak). With pay as you go the price of daily travel within Zones 1-8 is capped at £15.20 (anytime) or £11.90 (off-peak).
Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: 'Integrating the fares on this route with the wider pay as you go network makes perfect sense and ties in with our mission to make getting around our city easy for everyone, no matter where they live.
'I'm delighted that the good people of Swanley will soon have the choice of paying for travel with contactless payments and Oyster, which offer better fares and a more convenient way to travel.'
Shashi Verma, Director of Customer Experience at TfL, said: 'This is just one of the many projects we are working on across London and the south east to help make paying for transport easier for everyone.
'Pay as you go has helped to completely revolutionise travel around London since it launched, bringing cheaper, quicker travel to everyone.
'Furthermore, more than 25% of all pay as you go customers now use contactless payments because it is so convenient and easy. There's no need to top-up, you just touch in and out with your credit or debit card.'
Mike Boden, Commercial Director at Southeastern said: 'We're really pleased to be able to offer Oyster and contactless from Swanley station. The investment in this project will benefit many people and will offer more choice as to how to pay for our services.
'By offering Oyster card and contactless payment technology, we can provide a more seamless journey for commuters in Swanley who travel into the Capital.'
Stuart Cheshire, Thameslink's Passenger Service Director, said: 'Thameslink passengers at Swanley will welcome this move to further modernise our network. Moving away from paper tickets is the way forward.'
Contactless payments have been accepted on London Buses since December 2012, with the technology expanded to cover Tube, tram, DLR, London Overground, and most National Rail services in London in September 2014.
Along with providing customers with the best value fare on TfL services and the vast majority of National Rail services, contactless also offers weekly (Monday to Sunday) capping. This automatically limits the cost of travel over the period to the price of a weekly Travelcard for the zones travelled in.
More than 350 million contactless journeys have now been made since it launched using cards from more than 80 countries. Earlier this year, pay as you go using Oyster and contactless was extended to Gatwick Airport.
TfL are now working to further expand the benefits of pay as you go to all London airports as well as other key locations around the commuter belt.
For more information, or to sign up for an online account for your Oyster or contactless payment card, please visit www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets

With the academic year well and truly underway, thoughts for older students are turning to career choices. From October 1st to October 8th, children across the UK took part in singing, dancing and acting classes in their best onesies and snuggly pyjamas to raise money for a charity to help young performers through college.
As part of its commitment to its students, part-time theatre school Razzamataz launched the Future Fund charity to help finance a scholarship to train at a performing arts college. Now in its third year, the scholarship money is presented to a Razzamataz student in their final year of school looking to progress their performing ambitions after an audition judged by a panel of industry experts from the Musical Theatre and Commercial genres.
Past judges have included the former editor of The Stage newspaper, street dancer Lizzie Gough who was a finalist in So You Think You Can Dance, West End performer Peter Houston Reid, director Max Reynolds and Fi Silverthorn, dancer on Strictly Come Dancing.
The performing arts franchise business has been holding fundraising events for a number of years in order to support students with tuition fees and general living expenses. Each event will have a unique twist and this year, the emphasis was on making fitness fun.
"We've just had the Olympics so there is a focus on getting children active," explains Denise Hutton-Gosney, MD and Founder of Razzamataz. "We found that the best way of encouraging children to partake and maintain regular exercise is to make it really good fun and doing the dance, singing and drama classes in PJs is something that really appeals to youngsters."
There are more than 40 schools across the UK and each school had a special PJ session in exchange for a small donation. The schools enjoyed sharing photos and videos of the day and loved seeing what all the students were up to.
"By making fitness fun, exercise becomes something that they look forward to and instills some good habits for the rest of their lives, leading to fitter and healthier adults," adds Denise.
As one of the fastest growing part-time theatre schools in the UK, Razzamataz offers a wide range of performing arts styles for children age 2-18 including current trends that are accessible to children and teenagers. Razzamataz classes consist of dance, drama and singing and the curriculum covers the whole of the performing arts, from classic West End musical theatre to street dance, pop singing and acting for camera.
Students have gone on to secure places at a wide range of prestigious performing arts colleges including the BRIT School and ArtsEd and many are appearing in professional West End shows, on TV and in films.
Razzamataz is actively recruiting more Principals to become part of this successful theatre school franchise. To find out more, come along to one of the regular but informal Discovery Den days in either London, Carlisle or Sheffield. For more information about becoming a Razzamataz Principal contact Head of Franchisee Recruitment Suzie McCafferty on [email protected] or call Suzie on 07793 054 233. Further details can be found on www.razzamataztheatreschools.co.uk.

This is an old video published by Google. In the video, does Google's expert Matt Cutts answer the question about what the 5 most common mistakes in search engine optimisation are?
The question is still so current that I want to highlight the video. You should avoid these common mistakes in search engine optimisation and instead listen to the good examples Matt Cutts provides about search engine optimisation.
6 mistakes in search optimisation
1. No own domain
There are persistent companies and blogs that do not have their own domain. Having your own domain means that your site's URL is made up of www.ettnamnduval.se.
If you have a lot of Google visitors, it does not seem to have your blog in night city or any other blog portal. You should instead get a domain and a hosting company. The cost is just a few hundredfold a year – an investment that pays off many times.
2. Do not have easy and good navigation
Having a bad menu system is a big mistake in search engine optimization. Click around in your menu system and make sure you can reach all pages. Do you have any pages that can not be found via the menu system so change it immediately!
With a clear menu system, it becomes easier for Google to index all of your pages and it means more Google visitors.
3. Do not include the correct words on your page
Imagine yourself in the wearer's clothes. What keywords would you search for if you were interested in what you wrote about on your page? Make sure to include the words or sentences on your page.
For this article, people may be looking for common mistakes in search engine optimisation or what should be considered in search engine optimisation ? Thus I should include the phrases on this page.
Learn Keyword analysis step by step guide here >>
3. Do not include information in text format
Matt draws the example of a restaurant's website. Have the entire menu on the website and make sure it is in text format. If the menu is in PDF format, Google can not index the content and the restaurant's website will lose visitors.
4. Believe that you will build links yourself
A common mistake in search engine optimisation is to think that you should create links to your page. It's completely wrong! Instead, make sure to fill up their website with interesting content and then think about how to market the content.
Can you send out press releases to newspapers and online magazines? Do you have any smart idea about guild marketing that you can do in social media? Imagine, rather than planting your own links. It will make you successful and provide links to your site.
Here the Guide to Perfect link building >>
5. Do not have unique title and description
Another common mistake in search engine optimisation is that the individual page's title and description are not properly filled in. Try adding some of your individual pages as a bookmark. When you browse your bookmarks, are your individual pages clearly described? Can you distinguish what each page contains only from the title? A common mistake is that not every page has a unique title. You should definitely make sure that your search optimisation is successful
You should have a good description of each individual page, the so-called meta description. Normally, the meta description is 156 characters long. The meta description can either be specified separately, or Google will use the first 156 characters in your text instead. Thus, the introduction of a text is important. Keep in mind that the introduction should describe the content in an interesting way and include words and phrases you think people are searching for.
6. Does not use the tools Google provides
Google provides a range of tools that you should use in the search engine optimisation of your website. The most important are Google Webmaster Tools. I also advise you to use Google Analytics and Google Adwords. The latter has an enabler planner, which shows how many searches are made on different keywords and search phrases. It gives a good idea of what words and phrases you should include on your site to get many visitors.
Good luck and make sure to avoid these common mistakes in search engine optimisation.

Sony CD player

WTB: CD Player (Marantz, Rotel, Adcom, Others?)
Mr. Clark posted a topic in Garage SaleSo after completing a few extra jobs as well as off-loading some stuff, I find that I have a little extra cash to upgrade some components of my systems. I normally listen to my turntable but thought it time to get a proper CD player (as I'm just using a JVC DVD player that I picked up at a thrift store). Now, I want to add that I am usually pretty skeptical of CD player upgrades because I don't really know what I'm getting into. For me, the difference between a nice turntable with a great cartridge against a junk table has been night and day. I don't know if I've heard a CD player that has provided me the same difference. That being said, I'd like to lean on some of you here that probably have more experience in the CD player department. While I don't know much, I know that part of what you're paying for when you're buying a CD player is the DAC, and that some players are known to have much better DACs than others. This is where I could use some help because I know absolutely nothing about that stuff. BRASS TAX: So, I'd like to buy a used CD player below $300. That's not a lot, but I got other things in mind for the money too. Questions: What are some nice brands and models I should be looking into for that kind of money? I've heard Rotel and Adcom are good. I know Marantz to have made great vintage receivers, but that's about it. What should I be looking for? Am I hopeless if i don't have an external DAC? My current power sources are a Marantz 2230 and Sansui AU-717.

Yeah, okay. Who thought I'd actually finish the photos by the end of the month? Let's see a show of hands….
Anyone with your hand up? You need to read me more; you would have known better.
It is definitely not off my radar, but I have to admit that my taxes are currently absorbing what is left of my sanity — and I haven't even started them yet.
But Dys, you have a month left! No, no actually, I have 10 days.
My kid goes to a fabulous, wonderful, I can't say enough good things about it but someday I'll write a blog where I try, super school. Said super school is private and, therefore, requires a tuition payment larger than our mortgage payment. Now, it's the best money ever spent, BUT it's still a frickin' boatload o' dough. Thus, we file an application with them for financial aid. The application requires a copy of our taxes. The application is due on March 24.
You see the issue.
So, my entire goal this week is to get my laptop into the shop to be repaired because, yes, last year's taxes are on there, which I have to have to do this year's taxes, and then to get my freakin' taxes finished and still have hair left on my head. And hopefully to remember to shower once or twice in the process. I'm self-employed, so taxes are not a matter of adding up what we paid versus what we owed and mailing in the form/check. No, there are deductions to be taken and receipts to be found.
Yes, found. Did I mention that I have ADD? The majority of those receipts (I do attempt an effort, after all) are in piles of papers that conveniently reside throughout every corner of our house (I'm sorry, honey, truly sorry!) and in boxes and in tubs and in baskets and on countertops and on desks and …. you get the idea.
I once watched an organizational show (har dee har har – if you have enough money to spend, you too can be organized! foooooor about 15 minutes….) where the 'professional' actually had the audacity to say that the client was a 'surface abuser' and that meant that the professional was going to minimize the number of surfaces the client had available to abuse, thereby supposedly forcing her to put things away instead of pile.
Excuse me. Are you going to remove my floor too?
Yeah, then forget it, Sister. That's not going to accomplish your goal, and if I'm paying you that kind of money, you'd damn sure better bring more game than that.
If you need me, I'll be on the floor – looking for my receipts.

Less than a year after joining the Blackberry team as Global Creative Director- it has been announced that as of January 30, 2014 Alicia Keys will be relieved from her duties. Over the year Keys, who was hired to work with app developers and designers to create original content for the brand, has been criticized for her lack of action with the company and was said to be nothing more than a celebrity face for the brand. She was brought on during the height of the Blackberry 10 promotion which has since been declared a flop. Blackberry denies that Keys was not involved and asserts that she had direct involvement in the development of a scholarship program that encouraged women to pursue careers in science and technology, attended many conferences, corporate and promotional events. Blackberry made the following comment during an official email statement:
We have enjoyed the opportunity to work with such an incredibly talented and passionate individual.
Keys has not yet commented on the cut ties but with Blackberry shifting its focus to the enterprise market and business users, the celebrity endorsement may not be a good fit anymore.

On Facebook I would post "early Sunday morning run!!" With a smug smiley face
On Twitter I'd post a little complaint about ugh parking on a rainy Sunday
Instagram ...hah who am I kidding I don't use Instagram because I hate the way I look in pictures.
But Groupthink.... Here on groupthink I will tell you all the truth. I'm at the gym to workout this early not because I'm some awesome motivated person but mostly because because my toilet is clogged up and I really had to poop.
Thanks for keeping it real with me, my sisters in squalor.

I joined CF580 in January 2014, so I'm 3 months in as I write this. I love it there– love the workouts, the people, and most importantly the RESULTS. I am not new to strength training but had never gone after the barbells before (I'm a petite 40 year old female and just didn't know where to start). The coaches are very patient, knowledgable, safety-minded, and encouraging. They will help you get it right and find a training zone that is right for your body and goals. The other members have all been friendly and everyone cheers everyone on– from the strongest dude to the fitness newbie. And yes, the membership is very diverse in terms of fitness goals, body types, age, etc. (and at least 50% female).
The schedule and price are better than most other CF boxes in the region. Lots of class times are offered, tiered rates, and even the priciest option is much less than anything in Pleasanton. They also offer Oly lifting, Running, and BootCamp classes. I haven't tried them out yet.
The equipment seems good (I'm not an expert)– They sometimes run out of lighter weights during large classes but people share and make it work. Everything is clean– even the floor (no small feat with folks running in and out all the time).
My favorite thing about CF580– they are organized. The schedule, coaches, workouts, events– all posted online and kept up to date. I am looking forward to setting new goals and reaching them at CF580!

Mark Zuckerberg wants to beam Internet access from drones
Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg is taking his plans to increase global Internet access to the skies.
During a keynote presentation at F8, Facebook's developers conference held last week in San Francisco, Zuckerberg laid out his vision along with leaders from Internet.org, a nonprofit Facebook venture that aims to provide Internet access to people in developing countries.
The buzz on social media started just before Internet.org's F8 presentation, with this post by Zuckerberg.
Just shy of a year since Zuckerberg published a white paper detailing his plans for the future of Internet connectivity, the Facebook CEO has successfully completed the first test flight for Aquila – the unmanned flying aircraft designed by Facebook's nonprofit arm that beams "Internet access down to people from the sky." While still in the testing phase, and many years away from commercial use, the test mission is a significant first step toward a world in which everyone has access to the Internet.
According to Zuckerberg, the final version of the drone will have a "wingspan greater than a Boeing 737 but will weigh less than a car." Each drone will be solar-powered and could hover for months at a time at altitudes of more than 60,000 feet in the air. In an interview earlier this year, Yael Maguire, who heads up Facebook's Connectivity Lab, discussed the vision of the project, saying that the hope is to have a fleet of around 1,000 drones where possible for the purpose of connecting people to the Internet.
That of course is assuming regulators around the world agree to the presence of the drones. But regulators are not the only ones posing a threat to Facebook's mission to connect the globe. Critics have remained skeptical, claiming the motives of Zuckerberg and Internet.org are less than altruistic. Some have even accused Facebook of using this venture solely as a means to increase the company's global penetration and therefore its bottom line. There are also some preservationists who fear a completely connected world would lead to cultural losses, especially within the few societies that have remained untouched by the modern age.
As technology companies look to grow revenues and add new users, many are looking to developing nations for new opportunities.
Only about 16% of Africa's population has access the Internet, according to the Pew Research Center. And mobile phones are much more popular than land lines in countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Bangladesh and Uganda. Many people who become newly connected to the Internet do so through mobile devices.
Internet.org could provide benefits to the areas it serves. For example, an expansion of Internet connectivity could eventually lead to greater access to information and education. In Bangladesh, the Internet is primarily used for job hunting, according to Pew. Whether one agrees with Zuckerberg's venture or not, the Facebook founder has helped bring the world one step closer to a fully connected society.

Walk, don't run to your computer on December 5. Why? Because the Cheesecake Factory is spreading the holiday cheer this season by giving away free cheesecake to celebrate its 40th anniversary. Starting Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. local time, the only thing separating you from decadent cheesecake goodness is a few clicks of your mouse.
If you didn't know that the Cheesecake Factory delivers, you're not the only one. In a bid to get the word out about this service, the Cheesecake Factory announced its "Day of 40,000 Slices." All you have do to score a free slice of cheesecake (or layer cake, if you're not a fan of cheesecake) is order from the restaurant through DoorDash, a food delivery service. At checkout, enter the code "FREESLICE" and they'll cover your cheesecake purchase up to $8.95, including taxes. There's no purchase minimum, which means you can order just dessert if you'd like.
This one-day deal only applies to delivery (no takeout — sorry!) orders. But you can still win this holiday season! From December 5 to December 11, the Cheesecake Factory is waiving all delivery fees if you order through DoorDash — no promo codes necessary. That means not only is the slice free on December 5, but the delivery is complimentary, too.
Where does DoorDash deliver?
DoorDash delivers to more than 300 cities across the US and Canada, including Indianapolis, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Cincinnati, and Tulsa. To see if you can have cheesecake delivered right to your door, visit the Cheesecake Factory's website.
So, which will you choose? You can keep it simple with strawberry cheesecake, or go over the top with the Oreo Dream Extreme. Whatever you decide, it's bound to be delicious — and the fact that it's free is the metaphorical cherry on top!

B. Harley Bradley House Constructed
The B. Harley Bradley House in Kankakee, Illinois, is widely acknowledged as Wright's first Prairie Style design.
It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places individually and as part of the Riverview Historic District.
Following an extensive restoration, the Bradley House now enjoys the opportunity to be appreciated by architecture fans from around the world.
Bradley House at 701 South Harrison Ave. is the other Riverview home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The house was built in 1901 for B. Harley Bradley. Bradley was the grandson of David Bradley, designer of the steel Diamond Breaker plow and the man for whom the Village of Bradley is named. B. Harley Bradley was married to Anna M. Hickox, the sister of the above mentioned Warren Hickox, Jr. In 1913, the home was owned by A.E. Cook, a real estate promoter from Evenston, Illinois. In 1915 it was obtained by Joseph J. Dobson, a member of the Chicago Board of trade for 22 years. Mr. Dobson was also a renowned birder who used the stable on the property for his bird house factory. The house was deeded to Mrs. James F, Nelis, Sr. in 1949 for her faithful service as Mr. Dobson's Secretary. The Bradley House thereafter came to be known as Yesteryear, a popular restaurant that did business there for over 30 years. It was then renovated by Stephen B. Small in 1986[1]. The house entered one of the darkest chapters of Kankakee's history when kidnappers called Small at his home posing as Kankakee City Police. The criminals claimed the Bradley House had been vandalized, luring Small out into the open where he was kidnapped and subsequently murdered[2]. Architect Ron Moline and the law firm of LaBeau, Dietcheweiler and Assoc. purchased the property, turned the house into offices, and finished the renovations started by Small in 1991. Today Bradley House is owned by Architect Gaines Hall and his wife Sharon, who purchased it in January 2005. They have returned the house to a private residence restoring both the house and stable to Wright's original design. Plans are underway, initiated by the Community Foundation of Kankakee River Valley, to transfer the house to a non-profit entity. [3]

I'm running on very little sleep and I have very little free time so I apologize if this week's predictions are a bit rushed.
Patrick Chan (overinflated) Score will be present at the Cup of Russia and his only real competition at this point would be Jeremy Abbott, which makes me afraid. Very afraid. Jeremy can either do very very well or bomb his little ass off. Tomas Verner is still too weak this season (but should be able to make the podium) to make a run for the gold. I only wish I could put my faith in my darling Czech and hope that he will win me gold and prevent stupid Chan from winning.
Miki Ando should probably win against a relatively weak field. Ksenia Makarova and Akiko Suzuki will probably be embroiled in a battle for silver unless Miki goes batshit crazy like in her pre-2009 years.
I though Yuko Kavaguti & Alexander Smirnov were off the GP because of injury but if they are competing, then they should probably win. They're not fabulous but they're a head and shoulders above Narumi Takahashi & Melvin Tran and Amanda Evora & Mark Ladwig. Being Russian also helps Kavaguti/Smirnov.
Ice Dance
After all their costuming problems in their last GP assignment, Faiella & Scali will probably get their costumes in order and take the title. The costume mishaps were really costly and at this point, I think it's still a bit unclear as to who the top European team will be. We'll have to wait until the GPF to find out. The two young Russian teams (Ilynkh & Katsalapov and Bobrova & Sloviev) will probably do very well and probably round out the podium with a fight for the silver.
The Cafe's Picks:
Men: Jeremy Abbott (for the love of God and all that is holy)
Ladies: Miki Ando
Pairs: Yuko Kavaguti & Alexander Smirnoff (and if they aren't competing, Takahashi & Tran)
Ice Dance: Federica Faiella & Massimo Scali
Also, just an amusing observation, PJ Kwong wrote an article entitled, "What to make of Skate America." I wanted to demand an article entitled, "What to make of Skate Canada: how Patrick Chan won against a field that was better and cleaner than he was after falling 3 times in the short and being sloppy in the free" in the comments but the nationalistic crazies that roam the CBC website will probably be after my blood. If I had the money, I would buy them all a copy of Benedict Anderson's "Imagined Communities" but I don't wipe my ass with a hundred dollar bills so I will just blog about it sometime in the future. Even if I don't, re-reading Anderson would not be a detriment in any way anyways.
