Please join us for a reception/happy-hour meeting at 5:30pm on Thursday, February 21st in downtown Denver. Registration website
Guest Speaker:
Director of the Geotechnical Center of Excellence, University of Arizona
Bio: Dr. Brad Ross is the Director of the newly created Geotechnical Center of Excellence at the University of Arizona, which is dedicated to multi-disciplinary research and academics related to the geotechnical issues in the mining industry. He is also a Professor of Practice in the Mining and Geological Engineering Department.
Brad is a Professional Mining Engineer with over 35 years of experience in the mining. For his last industry position, he was brought into Bingham Canyon Mine to help the mine prepare for and recover from the gigantic Manefay slope failure. He has written a book about this experience called "Rise to the Occasion– Lessons From the Bingham Canyon Manefay Slide".
Abstract: After experiencing the largest mining landslide in in history, Rio Tinto Kennecott's Bingham Canyon Mine was left with thousands of feet of scarps that towered over 600 feet, no access for large equipment into the mine because the main haulroad was destroyed and limited ore because debris had covered more than half of what had previously been exposed. To recover from these issues many innovations were utilized or developed with the help of employees, vendors and contractors to return the mine to full production.
The meeting is a reception/happy-hour, including heavy appetizers served buffet style.
RBC Wealth Management is hosting the bar. Thank you, RBC!
The Wright Room is located on 16th Street, at Welton (above the Appaloosa Grill). If you enter the Appaloosa Grill on the 1st floor, they should be able to direct you to the Wright Room. If you are driving, parking at the Denver Pavilions is recommended.
Students: The student rate is $15 for this meeting. Students may pay via check or cash at the door. However, please RSVP to email@example.com so we know that you are coming and have enough space for you. Thanks!
We look forward to seeing you there!

This is for all of my highly sensitive people out there. Not so much the Empathic people, though, for there's quite a difference between the two—I'll probably get into that on another post.
So, if you hear someone described as being "highly sensitive," most people, especially men, will think that they're just acting like a baby, or a "pussy"—the intellectual noun spoken so eloquently aimed at me growing up. Although, if you have seen the things I have done throughout my life—jumping off bridges, injecting multiple drugs at a time, getting into many fights, etc., all through peer pressure because I became a people-pleaser—you might think different. I bring all this up because it was my high sensitivity that led me to do these things.
Let me give you an example of how my high sensitivity works… While I was deep into my heroin addiction, my high sensitivity would sort of shut down, or wouldn't be as enhanced. Heroin is a downer, so it shuts off any emotions or sensitivities; whereas, a stimulant, such as Ritalin or Meth, will enhance your sensitivity. And if you're already highly sensitive, it can be a fucking nightmare. Trust me. As a result, I stuck with depressants—heroin and alcohol.
At the lowest point of my pathetic, strung-out life as a junky, I had my dealer living with me who would pay me rent with dope. This took my addiction to an insane level, not to mention, I was still buying from him, too. One night, he decides to have a "party" at our place. This party consisted of him, me, and my two neighbors, one being my best friend, Brianna. Not much happened that night from what I can remember. But the hell wouldn't begin until the next morning…
I awoke around noon with Brianna sleeping in my bed next to me. No big deal. This happened quite frequently. Her clothes from last night were still on, so that told me we didn't have sex, which was good, I thought. Sex between best friends usually fucks things up, from my experience—not that it never happened…
I woke up dope sick, so my main priority, as it is for every junky, is to get more dope. I couldn't find my roommate anywhere, so I let Brianna sleep and locked the door behind me. I drove all the way across town to cop more dope and drove back to my apartment. I arrived back at my place about an hour later to find Brianna still asleep in my bed. It was odd, she still lying in the same position as when I had left her. I needed her to wake up and head back to her place, which was in the same complex just two stories up—we basically lived with each other, making our friendship strong. I needed her to leave because, despite our strong friendship, I kept the heroin a secret from her, so she had to leave so I could shoot up.
I call out her name.
No response.
(If you want the gritty details, they will be available in my memoir, Under Your Influence: A Manic Life of a Codependent Empath in Addiction, which is in its editing process now.
Sign up to subscribe to this site and ask for the first chapter, I'll gladly give you a taste.)
Brianna had overdosed and passed away, as she slept right next to the person that loved her dearly. However, since I was still dope sick, my sensitivity was turned up. I felt she was gone before I had walked over to my bed. You know when you close your eyes—or you don't have to—and you can feel another's presence and sometimes, emotions, when they are near you? As I was slowly creeping towards her, I didn't feel her presence. What was weird was the fact that I couldn't smell her. I'd never noticed anyone's smell before, until her's was missing. When I closed my eyes, there was no glow or any kind of feeling telling me someone else was in the room. Her body was only an empty shell that used to hold something so beautiful and amazing. Now it was gone.
My adrenaline kicked in, allowing me to drag her limp, listless body to the bathroom. I figured cold water might wake her, but it was to no avail. Rigor mortis had already set in. She was long gone.
I laid with her in my arms as I called 911. It's an eerie feeling when there are two people in a small, cramped space, yet you can only sense yourself. There were two bodies, but only one heartbeat.
Fast forward a few months after that harrowing morning and I am in a rehab in Washington, near the border of Idaho. Please read my post entitled, "The Ranch-Where I Discovered My True Self."
It was there at that magical, spiritual place that I learned of my high sensitivity, and slight empathy, as well as being an Indigo Child. I'm not quite sure if I believe in the whole Star Children idea, but who knows?
I started to look back at my life with all this new knowledge and discovered I had been a very sensitive kid growing up. It had started in middle school with puberty hitting. I was always told that I had a huge heart and held a great amount of compassion towards living things, wanting to help people, especially animals.
After my six-year addiction, it had taken a while to gain all compassion and empathy back, but I have it and more today. That is the point of my life, to help others who struggle and try to change the world, for the better. So i write my experiences and tell of how I recovered and grew into the sober, spiritual, self-sufficient man I am today.

Motion Worksheet-6
A. always less than 1 B. equal to 1 or more than 1
C. always more than 1 D. equal to 1 or less than 1
A. at rest
B. moving with no acceleration
C. in accelerated motion
D. moving with uniform velocity
A. if the car is moving on straight road
B. if the car is moving on circular road
C. if the pendulum is moving to and fro
D. if a planet is moving around the sun
A. 2.16 km/h B. 1.08 km/h
C. 0.216 km/h D. 0.0216 km/h
A. uniform motion B. uniform acceleration
C. no acceleration D. Uniform velocity
A. the car has a inform acceleration
B. The direction of car varies continuously
C. the car travels unequal distances un equal time intervals
D. the car travels equal distances in unequal time intervals
A. velocity of a moving body is always higher than its speed
B. speed of a moving body is always higher than its velocity
C. Speed of a moving body is its velocity in a given direction
D. Velocity of a moving body is its speed in a given direction
(i) average velocity (ii) distance travelled (iii) average speed (iv) displacement
A. only (i) B. (i) and (ii)
C. (i) and (iv) D. only (iv)
A. +2 m/s2 B. –2 m/s2 C. –0.5 m/s2 D. +0.5 m/s2
A. km/h B. s/m C. m/s D. m s–1
Explanation: If the person is moving in one direction along a straight line the distance travelled and displacement will be same. Distance and displacement will be same if person is travelling from A to B
But if the person is moving from C to D the distance travelled will be more than displacement. Distance travelled is the length of curved line from C to D and displacement is the straight distance between C to D. So the ratio wil be either 1 or less than 1.
Explanation: When a body walks across a straigh line distance travelled and magnitude of displacement will be same. In case of to and fro movement of pendulam displacement will be zero since the distance between the initial positiona dn final position is zero. In other cases distance will be more than displacement.
Explanation: 0.06 m/s
1 km = 1000 m and 1 hour = 60 × 60 seconds
So speed will be 0.06 × 60 × 60/1000 kmph
Explanation: Velocity is a vector quantity and it depends upon the direction of the movement of the body.
Explanation: For example, if the body is moving in a circular path then after one complete round the difference between initial point and final point will be zero hence displacement will be zero and when displacement is zero velocity will also be zero as velocity is displacement/time
Explanation: a = (V – u)/t here 'v' is the final velocity, 'u' is the initial velocity and 't' is the time taken,
by puttiong the value a = ( 0 – 10)/20 = - 0.5 (negative sign shows retardation) But in the question we are asked retardation only that means it will be 0.5 m/s2

There is always a choice involving directing source text to employed translators or translation agencies. Though freelance translators usually charge a lesser amount of, there are a number of factors that are excellent to professional translation services Marbella agencies.
Project Operations
legal consulting services in marbella offer carefully along with well-developed project management. They generally hire specialists in management, customer care, growth, and delivery. Owing to that, a movement is taken care of by a group of people who have work in their specialist areas, via translators, through admin workers, for you to development managers.
Agencies generally offer the higher quality of the translation. For the reason that they have a team of translators along with proofreaders who cross-check translations, as an alternative to having just one translator. Also, non-translation staff helps in maintaining high quality. Good quality should always represent and mirror the corporation.
Professionalism and accountability
Agencies usually are more professional, organized and liable than freelancers. They have managed to establish a stable process and they know their very own procedures. They are usually more reliable, concerned about their very own reputation.
Translation agencies read much more texts than freelancers, for that reason their experience in dealing with specific scrolls and problems is much more extensive. Firms also use Terminology Management tools aiding them in maintaining consistency and taking advantage of their experience in new scrolls.
Team work
Submitting spanish legal translation job to an agency usually involves several grouped people on the other side. A translation firm is not one person, therefore the responsibility for the completion of the project is contributed to groups of people.
Firms are much more efficient in finding reliable professionals or consultants to help them in clearing up translation-related problems. They usually already have some sort of pool of professionals to assist them along with collaborating on the project as content verifies or editors.
Past clients
Interpretation agencies maintain a good record with their past clients and are easy to always be verified. A rich list of prior clients ensures the quality and trustworthiness of translation.
Further assistance
Firms are also able to offer further help with scrolls, such as Desktop Publishing, editing, be prepared for print. Translation agencies very often keep a whole network of cooperating firms and it is much easier to negotiate a full deal. Agencies very often also offer localization pros, as well as intercultural guidance.

A suspect in the rape and murder of British teenager Scarlett Keeling was released on bail after investigators failed to submit charges against him, her lawyer said today.
Samson D'Souza is facing a number of accusations, including raping the 15-year-old and assisting in her murder.
He was freed after the Indian Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) did not submit a list of charges against him.
Vikram Varma, the lawyer representing Scarlett and her mother Fiona MacKeown, said the CBI has applied to cancel the bail and that application should be heard in court on Friday.
He said: "I can confirm that D'Souza was released on bail. The CBI have moved to cancel the bail.
"Hopefully they will also file a charge sheet within a couple of weeks."
Scarlett's body was found on Anjuna beach in Goa, India, on February 19.
Police said initially that her death was an accidental drowning but, after a sustained campaign for justice by Mrs MacKeown, the results were re-examined and a second post mortem held.
The results revealed Scarlett was killed and a murder investigation was launched.
The tests also showed that Scarlett, from Bradworthy, Devon, was given Ecstasy, cocaine and LSD on the night she died.
Nerlon Albuquerque, the police officer who first investigated the death, was dismissed in April.
Two men were arrested, D'Souza, 29, and Placido Carvalho, aged between 30 and 35, who has appeared in court on suspicion of drugging Scarlett and assisting in the murder by that act.
Mr Varma said more people could still be arrested and Mrs MacKeown, 43, has maintained throughout the case that evidence was being covered up to protect other people involved.

Amanah Saham Bumiputera (ASB) unitholders will received 7.70 sen per unit divident and 0.10 sen bonus for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2013. This dividend decreased from last year which unitholder get 7.75 sen.
Tha ASB unit holders total 8.26 million who collectively hold 127.2 billion ASB units. Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) Chairman, Tun Ahmad Sarji Abdul Hamid said that eventhough this year dividend slightly lower compare to last year, the dividend still competitive amid the global economic uncertainty.
He said during income distribution
"This rate is also not the lowest that PNB has declared. In 2009, the income distribution declared was 8.65 sen per unit.
"In fact, we can declare a dividend of 10.54 sen per unit for the current financial year, but we brought forward 2.71 sen per unit to help the fund's portfolio to become more competitive in future,"
The divident income from investee companies contributed RM4.41 billion which consist of 44.5 per cent of gross income while the profit from the shares contributed RM4.0 billion or 40.3 percent. He said that the balance was derived from other incomes. All transactions for ASB at ASNB head office, ASNB branch offices and agents have been suspended beginning Dec 18, 2013 until Jan 1, 2014 to facilitate the calculation of income distribution and bonus.
It is still good for ASB unitholders as there's still dividend this year. It look safe investment for Malaysian citizen. For me, I don't have enough money in ASB and it won't impact on my financial. For those ASB unitholders, hope you use the dividend wisely. Don't just waste it.

Farce of child migrant family checks: Home Office under fire for allowing youths into UK without being sure they have home to go to
The Home Office is failing to verify whether child refugees have family members in the UK capable of taking care of them before they are brought here from Calais, the Telegraph has learnt.
Local authorities who are ultimately responsible for the children's welfare have complained that in some cases minors arrive in London without any proof that their relatives exist.
The job of checking that family members can provide the migrants with a suitable home is left to councils, who often have to place them in the care system after discovering they have no-one here who can take them in.
The row is the latest in a string of controversies raised by the Home Office's last-minute attempts to re-house residents of the "Jungle" migrant camp in Calais before it is bulldozed by the French authorities next week.
Having faced criticism earlier in the week that it was bussing in "child refugees" who appeared to be well into adulthood, the Home Office was accused of a "literal cover-up" yesterday as new arrivals who appeared older had blankets over their heads, while younger ones were not covered.
The number of refugees coming to the UK from Calais is expected to increase over the weekend ahead of the closure of the camp, scheduled for Monday. There were chaotic scenes at the camp yesterday as aid workers used megaphones to urge children to put their names on lists of those who want to come to Britain.
It also emerged that the Home Office planned to introduce a pilot scheme four years ago to check the age of asylum-seekers using dental x-rays, only to scrap the scheme after being told they had not sought the relevant ethical approval.
Earlier this week the Home Office said it would not be introducing dental checks because they would be "unethical". However their view was different in 2012 when the UK Border Agency (now Border Force), which is a Home Office agency, sent out a letter saying it wanted to find out whether dental x-rays were "a useful tool in helping to establish people's ages when they have been assessed as an adult yet continue to maintain that they are a minor".
The letter, signed by Zilla Bowell, the then director of asylum, added: "We are keen to utilise any appropriate tool which can increase our levels of certainty [about ages]." The scheme was scrapped after Dame Sally Davies, the Chief Medical Officer, said it should have been cleared with the National Research Ethics Service first.
Refugees arriving in the European Union are required to claim asylum in the first EU country they reach, but unaccompanied child refugees are granted an exemption if they wish to join relatives in another EU country, such as Britain.
All of those who have been brought to the UK Asylum Intake Unit in Croydon, south London this week have claimed to be minors with relatives living here, but the Local Government Authority says the Home Office is not managing the scheme effectively, meaning the youngsters are arriving with no guarantee that they have anywhere to go.
David Simmonds, chairman of the LGA's asylum, refugee and migration task group, said: "The Home Office are saying that they have carried out checks that family members exist but in fact local authorities are being asked to check out the relatives when the children arrive.
"Even if the child has named a relative here, they could be lying or the relative could be lying about their ability to look after them. They might say they have a spare bedroom but then it turns out that uncle is actually sharing a bedroom with five other people above a shop.
"If they can't look after the children they will go back into the system as unaccompanied asylum-seeking children.
"The local authority then becomes responsible for their care, accommodation and education until the age of 25, under the Leaving Care Act. That means the local authority also has to pay their university fees in full, because as foreigners they aren't entitled to student loans."
Mr Simmonds said the situation was placing a huge financial burden on local authorities at ports of entry, such as Hillingdon, where he sits as a councillor, and which includes Heathrow.
He said: "For a long, long time councils at ports of entry have been expressing concern because of the numbers of cases where age assessments have been disputed. Ministers just didn't seem to want to engage."
The latest group of refugees to arrive in Croydon comprised five boys aged 12 to 14, and six boys and three girls described as slightly older teenagers. Six of them, including all the girls, covered their heads and faces in towels as they were greeted by reporters and photographers.
Philip Davies, a Conservative MP, said: "What on earth are the Home Office doing? It's not too much to expect we are actually taking children. All they do by putting up these barriers is lose even more public backing."
The Home Office responded by urging the media to "respect the privacy of these vulnerable individuals".
Lord Blencathra, in a letter to the Daily Telegraph, says today that he and fellow parliamentarians "assumed that we were talking about vulnerable little boys and girls under age 12-14" when the Government agreed to take them in. He said it was "vital" for the Home Office to introduce effective age tests to prevent border officials being "conned".
Meanwhile the fostering and adoption charity Tact was forced into a climbdown after it made an allegation – reported by the BBC – that a "child refugee" who appeared to be in his 30s was actually an interpreter. The Home office said the migrant was not an interpreter or employee, and Tact withdrew its claim saying it "regrets any concern caused".

Simpli 5 Braces in London
Cosmetic dentistry has now become the norm in today's world. At all times, there is constant demand for latest and better dental tools and treatments to help rectify problems of the teeth with minimum cost and effort. Unaligned and crooked teeth are the common issues faced by a number of children and adults the world over.
Teeth straightening are amongst the dental problems that are treated most commonly today. Treatment brings the teeth back in position it ought to be originally in. Teeth with gaps between them, misplaced teeth, crooked teeth and those that are wrongly positioned are the problems that need teeth to be placed in original position. Usually such problems arise at young age, in growing years. Simpli 5 Braces in London are perfectly equipped for dealing with these kinds of problems.
Generally Simpli 5 Braces are advised for people who have misaligned teeth in initial stages. Braces of these kinds are not able to deal with critical conditions of misaligned teeth. For cases that are more complicated the doctors typically suggest other treatment options like clear braces or Invisalign.
The duration of time the Simpli 5 Braces treatment takes for doing the job would depend on complication of condition. It would do quick job on the more simple cases of realignment. There is a great demand for these braces. The reason behind this is that like Invisalign, they are completely invisible. No one will realize that they are covering the teeth except for the wearer. Braces of this kind do not have brackets or strings attached to them. They are more like covers you have to put over the teeth.
The material used for making the braces is very strong. It is created in the laboratory of Simpli 5. It is totally transparent. It is light in weight. The people who wear it are very comfortable. You will realize that they are similar to Invisalign to a great extent. Simpli 5 is ideal brace for straightening the teeth. It feels nearly nonexistent and works well.
The working of Simpli 5 Braces –
• The braces work in extremely simple manner. Dentists offer 5 aligners in a set that a patient has to wear gradually during course of treatment.
• The aligners are changed as teeth move gradually towards position they ought to reach finally. Every set of the Simpli 5 Braces is to be donned for a minimum of 21 days.
• Though the braces could be removed for eating or brushing, it is important for patients to wear aligners for at least 20 hours a day if it is to work successfully.
• When doctors first start the treatment, they chart out complete schedule for the patient to follow. The Simpli 5 Braces treatment takes five months on average however it could vary depending on condition of the teeth of every patient.
You only have to follow the instructions of your dentist to the T if you wish to get the smile you have always desired!

Last Saturday we spent the morning at the Derby Days parade in Yamhill. I'm not much for huge city parades and fighting crowds and people for places to sit, but I really do love small town parades. Seeing the whole town come out (practically) and line the ONE little main road that travels through the 3/4 mile long town…love it. From the local bank handing out free balloons to all the kids while waiting for the parade to start, to all the candy being tossed, as well as pop cycles and lavender, we couldn't have asked for a better parade.
For some reason I was drawn to the "Americana" theme…It sure feels as if our country is sliding further and further away from our roots, our convictions and our freedom, that I was reminded that it's the small towns in America that (tend) to still live and breathe this way…and that was refreshing.
The announcer asked that everyone please stand and respect the flag as it led the parade…love that.
After the parade we made our way to the Willakenzie Lavender Farm in Yamhill. The smell was amazing and the beauty was breathtaking…could have planted myself there with a book for hours, but don't think the kids (boys especially) would have appreciated that! And the gift shop there was so quaint!
This was my "pretend I'm in France lavender fields and pick to my hearts content" moment. While the girls wandered the area, looking at the fields, the boys sat in the car and oh-by-the-way, caught a mouse…in my car! Then they proceeded to bring it to me while I was headed into the gift shop, and let it go on the side walk. True story. My "France moment" ended promptly.

An international Sunday school lesson commentary
For Sunday December 21, 2014
Over 70,000 readers worldwide
(Seek, celebrate, and share JESUS)
(Luke 2:1-20)
Luke chapter two, verses 1-2, are the verses in Scripture that come closest to giving us the exact birth year of our LORD and SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST. In Luke 2:1-7, the author of GOD writes of the 90-mile trip, of Joseph and Mary, from Nazareth to Bethlehem to honor the census decree that had been imposed by the Emperor, Caesar Augustus.
The decree was put into place for the purpose of assessing taxes, and discovering those who were liable for compulsory military service. The Jews, however, were exempt from serving in the military, so basically, the census for them was taken expressly for taxation purposes. These census' were periodical in nature, and the count came once every 14 years. Man has in his possession, actual documentation of every Roman census taken from A.D. 20 to A.D. 270.
Luke 2:1-2, are the verses of scripture that are most reliable in actually determining the year of JESUS' birth into this world as a 100% human being. Here Luke tells us that it was at the time of this particular census that was imposed by Caesar Augustus, that Joseph and Mary (who was quite far along in her pregnancy with baby JESUS), had to travel to Bethlehem, the home of Joseph's ancestry, to be counted. Every person, by law, had to return to their original place of ancestry in order to register for this census count.
Luke also tells us in verse 2, that, it was during the time when Cyrenius (Quirinius) was serving as Roman governor to Syria. Roman records show that Cyrenius served in an official capacity on two separate occasions, first, from 10 B.C. to 7 B.C., and later, in A.D. 6& 7. Roman records also show that Caesar Augustus served as Roman Emperor, from 27 B.C. to A.D. 14. What that tells us is, that, the census records that man now possesses, most likely begins with the third 14-year census count, and that, the first count must have been during Cyrenius' first term in office (10 B.C.-7 B.C.).
We also know, from Scripture (Matthew 2:13-17), that Herod the Great, who was king over Judea at that time, issued a decree to kill all infants in and around Bethlehem, up to the age of 2, in an attempt to kill baby JESUS. Since Roman records show that Herod died in 4 B.C., we know that JESUS had already been born. And if the 14-year cycle of the census count holds true, and, in light of all the Biblical and secular facts that we have, we can, with reasonable certainty, deduce that JESUS was born in 8 B.C., during that first census count.
All of this information is something good and special for the serious Bible student to know, but the good news of the birth of CHRIST JESUS is something good and special for all men to know. The term "Hypostatic Union" is one that can only be used in reference to CHRIST JESUS. It refers to HIS unique theanthropic personage (both divine and human in nature and quality), being 100% perfect man, as GOD originally made Adam (without sin), and, 100% GOD, as GOD the FATHER HIMSELF is.
HE served us here on earth, as 100% perfect man, to show us how we could live if we maintained a willingness to obey GOD at all times, and through HIS FATHER GOD's mercy and grace, and HIS OWN obedience to GOD, HE died for us because HE knew we would not obey GOD. In fact, man has long ago, since the time of the Garden of Eden, convinced himself that he really can't obey GOD completely, despite GOD sharing with us, the same "spiritual attributes", or "divine nature", that HE sent CHRIST to rescue us with.
However, as I said earlier, because of GOD's faithfulness, mercy, and grace, we can now rejoice in the knowledge that there does now exist, the "Christian Hope". It is the Hope that arises out of the New Covenant that was ushered in, and is personified by, our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, and then signed with HIS OWN blood.
That is why no one will ever be able to go into the presence of GOD, except through JESUS. HE, alone, will forever be, the only way to the ONLY WISE SOVEREIGN GOD. We only need to repent of our sins and accept CHRIST with our mouth, and, more importantly, in our heart, as our LORD and SAVIOR.
Luke's clear and straightforward account of JESUS' birth, goes a long ways toward anchoring these events in history, and then, linking them to prophesy. He helps us to see that "Biblical history" is "World history", and, that they will forever be inseparable and synonymous with each other.
The announcement of JESUS' birth, from on High, came first to the lowly Shepherds in the fields, where they worked and kept watch over their sheep. In the first century, Shepherds were on the bottom rung of the "social" and "economic" ladder, and they were, by way of their meager lifestyles, "the most humble".
In Luke 2:8-20, we once again get a glimpse of the "Three Great Revolutions of GOD", and what their importance would be in the coming Christian movement. We saw it first in the writings and utterances of the Old Testament saints (i.e. 1 Samuel 2:3-8). In the New Testament we see it in Mary's song of praise, known as the "Magnificat" (which in Latin means "My soul doeth magnify the LORD") (Luke 1: 51-53). There it says, in effect, that GOD will use the birth, life, and ministry of CHRIST, and, Christianity, to uphold and defend the lowly and the humble.
First of all, those who truly understand Christianity know that it is designed to uphold "humbleness", and by nature, means the death of "pride". Secondly, Christianity is aimed at stamping out "social injustice". Every Prophet of GOD that has come to us was a champion of the fight against social injustice. GOD is extremely interested in justice and being just. That is why we find the word "just" written in Scripture over 90 times and the word "justice" 28 times.
And thirdly, Christianity is aimed at combating prejudices based on one's "economic status". Money, prosperity, and material things almost always turn a person's heart away from GOD. So it becomes quite clear, the appropriateness, of announcing the "good news" first to ordinary folks, rather than to the rich.
And so, during this coming, and every Christmas season to come, let us strive to stay focused on the real reason for our celebration, and let us once again use that time to commemorate the coming of our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, and, to celebrate the love, brilliance, largesse, and mercy, of the ONLY WISE GOD the FATHER, for sending to us, HIS only begotten SON, to save us from ourselves, and the wiles of satan.

SEATTLE — Amanda Knox will go back to Italy this week for the first since being convicted and eventually acquitted in a 2007 murder and sexual assault.
Knox posted a picture from a hike on Instagram on Sunday saying she would be making the trip in three days.
"Feeling frayed, so I made my own inspirational workplace poster. 'Hang in there!' Just imagine I'm a kitten," Knox wrote in a caption of a photo of her appearing to hang off the side of Rattlesnake Ledge near North Bend.
Knox will attend a conference in Modena, Italy this weekend by the Italy Innocence Project, which seeks to help people convicted of crimes they didn't commit.
Knox and her former boyfriend were initially convicted in the murder of her British roommate Meredith Kercher in Perugia. They eventually were acquitted after a years-long series of flip-flop higher-court decisions.
Italy was ordered in January to pay Knox $20,000 in damages, costs, and expenses after police failed to offer legal assistance and a translator during questioning.

This Is The Importance Of Choosing The Right Motif For Children's Clothing
There are many clothes in the store or you can find them online on the internet. Then, you have to know what is the best clothes for your kids. Maybe, you will find it difficult when choosing the clothing for boys because usually clothes for boys are more difficult to find than girls' clothes.
To choose a boy's clothes, you have to choose the right clothing motif according to the child's age.
You certainly rarely use children's clothing with plain motives. Most children's clothes are full of motifs and colors. Both those with many motifs or only in a few angles, or small motifs to large ones. This motif should choose the funny one but still adjusted to the age of the child. Because more and more children grow up sometimes their favorite motives will change. If the baby really wants to choose his own clothes, then get the boys into the mall or clothes shop to fit their characters.

You hear it in the news everyday that $100,000 Adjustable Rate Mortgages will adjust in the next couple months. But what does that mean to you if you are an investor? It means good times are here! You see, as buyers, ARM's adjust their payments may get out of reach for them and if they don't have enough equity to sell the home they are either going to have to give it back to the bank or sell it for a loss. (MAYBE)
Here is what I propose to them and it makes it a win-win for my investors and the seller. On a $300,000 home the commission's can be as high as $21,000 and if they bought the home for $285,000 they are not going to be able to sell it to get enough to pay closing costs and commissions. What I have them do is sell it to one of my investors for what they bought it for and then the investor does a lease option on the property to another buyer. I get paid out of the lease option and the investor agrees to split the net profit he gets from the sale of the property when the option is exercised with the original seller.
The investor has only closing costs out of pocket, and saves $15,000 on the purchase of a home, and the seller is out from under a mortgage he couldn't afford without having to pay a commission. I know I'm going to get a lot of feedback on telling these people to sell their home without paying a commission, but the commission is getting paid, but just at a later time.
The original home owner is now saving $6,000, because he didn't have to come out of pocket for commissions, and in two years when the option is exercised on the lease option, he could get a check for $15,000 from the profit split with the investor.
Difficult times can make for excellent opportunities with out of the box thinking to investing. Using other people's money is a great way to do that. For more information on out of the box solutions to investing and getting a money producing investment property, feel free to call or email me anytime.

The Morning Ledger: Avoid U.S. Tax on Foreign Earnings? No Sweat.
Get the free Morning Ledger emailed to you each weekday morning by clicking here: http://on.wsj.com/TheMorningLedgerSignup.
Good morning. CFOs who aim to keep their companies from paying U.S. taxes on foreign earnings need to remember just two words: "indefinitely reinvested." Despite the hubbub over tax inversions and the efforts of U.S. authorities to stop them, accounting regulations and auditing standards make it relatively easy for U.S.-based businesses to avoid taxes on their overseas profits, CFO Journal's Vipal Monga reports. All companies need to do is say that their foreign income is indefinitely reinvested abroad to avoid being forced to deduct U.S. taxes from that money, a move that can save them billions of dollars.
What counts as reinvestment? "It's fair to say the bar is very low," said Michael Minihan, a principal at Dallas-based tax consulting firm Ryan LLC. The evidence doesn't have to be ironclad. It can include plans for new overseas factories, prospective acquisition sprees, or restrictions in loan agreements that prevent them from transferring money to the U.S.
The companies and their auditors also can take into account the "tax consequences" of any decision to bring money back to the U.S. or reinvest overseas, according to an accounting guide published by accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers. They can justify parking the money overseas to avoid paying U.S. taxes by arguing that taxes are too high, said Ryan's Mr. Minihan.
It's been a good year for gold-mining shares. Investors prefer gold miners to the precious metal itself, CFO Journal's Tatyana Shumsky reports. Gold stocks have risen 81% this year, according to the NYSE Arca Gold Bugs Index, outstripping the 17% rise in gold prices. New leaders at the world's top gold producers, Barrick Gold Corp. and Newmont Mining Corp., have slashed costs, pared output, sold unprofitable mines and cut spending on new projects.
Halliburton IR executive heads for a CFO spot. Halliburton Co., the oilfield-services company whose proposed merger with rival Baker Hughes Inc. faces an April 30 deadline, said Kelly Youngblood, its vice president of investor relations, is taking a position as finance chief at another company, CFO Journal's Richard Teitelbaum reports. Mr. Youngblood is being replaced by Lance Loeffler, vice president of corporate development, effective immediately.
Chipotle deserves another chance. Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc.'s shares have fallen too far following E. coli and other health-related incidents, writes Steven Russolillo for Ahead of the Tape. Any sign in Chipotle's first-quarter results, out Tuesday, that the worst has passed could spark a relief rally. The numbers won't be pretty, but signs are mounting that Chipotle's reputation is getting better.
Unilever almost borrowing free following ECB bond-buying plans. Days after the European Central Bank detailed its plan to buy corporate bonds, consumer-goods giant Unilever NV has sold one of the stingiest new issues ever: a slug of debt that pays zero coupons and will offer investors a return of practically nothing.
Gannett offers to acquire Tribune. Gannett Co. proposed to acquire Tribune Publishing Co. in a deal valued at about $400 million, as the owner of the USA Today seeks to add the Los Angeles Times to its portfolio of newspapers. Gannett is offering $12.25 in cash for each share of Tribune, a 63% premium to the stock's closing price Friday. Including the assumption of Tribune's debt, Gannett said the deal has a total value of $815 million.
Valeant names Joseph Papa as new CEO. Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. named Joseph Papa as its next chairman and chief executive as he departs as chief of Perrigo Co. Perrigo shares tumbled as the company slashed its guidance for the year while announcing Mr. Papa's departure. The latest musical chairs at the two big drug companies long identified with their chief executives is a stark reminder for directors of how lonely their jobs can quickly and unexpectedly become.
Goldman Sachs drops the velvet rope for savers. The financial firm most synonymous with Wall Street is offering savings accounts and certificates of deposit from the website of its banking arm, GS Bank. Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s sudden fondness for small accounts is mainly driven by recent bank regulations that look more kindly on retail deposits. The bank also is looking to make more loans. But the WSJ's John Carney took a look at some of the services on offer, and isn't impressed.
Saudi Aramco to become holding company with listed subsidiaries.The Saudi Arabian Oil Co., the world's largest energy firm, is planning to list less than 5% of its value on stock exchanges in Riyadh and possibly the U.S., the kingdom's deputy crown prince said Monday, setting up one of the largest IPOs ever.
I hate this market, I love this market. The plunge and then sharp rebound in commodity and stock prices this year illustrates one of the great truths of investing: Those in the market spend a lot more time watching each other than they do watching the fundamentals.
Ant Financial in record fundraising. Ant Financial, the financial-services affiliate of e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., closed the world's largest private fundraising round for an Internet company at $4.5 billion, giving it a roughly $60 billion valuation.
Auto makers, others explore new roles for 3-D printing. Many companies, including auto makers, are starting to look at 3-D printing for their supply chains. Ford Motor Co. is experimenting with an alternative to the widely used technology that prints objects layer by layer, a slow process that also creates fault lines that can crack.
Philips likely to sell lighting unit via IPO. Royal Philips NV said it is more likely to sell its lighting arm via an initial public offering as the Dutch electronics group struggles to find a buyer for the business. Philips said in its latest earnings report that it tilts toward an IPO even as it continues to look at proposals in a private sale process.
Facebook developing camera-first format. Facebook Inc. is developing a stand-alone camera app to encourage its 1.6 billion users to create, and share, more photos and videos. The project is in its early stages and may never come to fruition, but it reflects anxiety within Facebook over users' increasingly passive behavior on the social network. Many users check Facebook daily or even multiple times a day, but fewer are sharing photos, videos and status updates about their own lives.
Bob Evans to lay off 1,100 workers. Restaurant chain Bob Evans Farms Inc. said it would close 27 underperforming locations in a move to increase profitability. Bob Evans will offer employment in nearby restaurants to the affected workers. Severance benefits will be offered to full-time and part-time employees who cannot be relocated.
Caterpillar CEO's 2015 pay package reached $17.9 million. Caterpillar Inc. CEO Doug Oberhelman's pay package for 2015 rose 4.5% to $17.9 million, lifted by stock awards and a boost in the value of his stock options and some benefits.
For counterfeit fighters on social media, fake profiles are a real ally. Brand investigators posing as shoppers on social media are an increasingly common weapon in the war on counterfeit products, the WSJ's Kathy Chu reports. The personas allow investigators to make test purchases without raising suspicion. The trouble is, while it is against Facebook's rules to post counterfeit products, it is also against the rules to create a fake profile.
Regulators recommend approval of Charter-Time Warner Cable deal. Federal regulators are poised to approve Charter Communications Inc.'s $55 billion acquisition of Time Warner Cable Inc., but they will force the merged company to live up to stringent obligations that don't apply to its bigger rivals. Charter agreed to abandon for seven years several common industry practices that the government feared could threaten the growth of rival online video providers such as Netflix Inc. and Hulu. The company agreed not to impose data caps or charge broadband Internet customers based on data usage, practices that have riled customers.
But the jury is still out on the proposed deal for Cablevision. With two weeks to go before a decision is due, New York City officials are still making noise behind the scenes about concerns with Altice NV's proposed acquisition of Cablevision Systems Corp. City officials' questions have included whether ambitious synergy goals and a big debt burden postdeal will lead to job cuts and underinvestment in customer service and broadband.
Regulators to call for banks to have a year's worth of liquidity. Large U.S. banks would have to prove they have enough cash to withstand severe market turmoil lasting as long as a year under a new rule set to be proposed Tuesday. The regulation would require about 30 of the country's biggest banks to adjust their balance sheets, cutting the odds they would run into the kind of funding crunch that crippled Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers in 2008.
Chinese steel imports inflame campaign rhetoric.The flood of Chinese steel weighing on U.S. makers is ratcheting up the protectionist rhetoric in Pennsylvania and other states in coming elections.
Supreme Court grapples with patent-challenge rules. Supreme Court justices were scratching their heads over new procedures making it easier to challenge patents without a long fight in federal court. Many technology companies, including Dell Inc., Alphabet Inc.'s Google, Intel Corp. and Samsung Electronics Co., favor the new procedure as an effective way to attack patents that never should have been approved.
DuPont lifts outlook on strong agriculture results. DuPont Co. boosted its 2016 profit target after reporting first-quarter earnings that topped analysts' expectations amid a strong start in its agriculture business. The anticipated boost to DuPont's earnings came after the U.S. dollar weakened against "most currencies" over the past three months, the company said. The U.S. dollar's strength over the past year diminished DuPont's profits abroad and made its products more expensive in overseas markets.
Breakup costs drag down Xerox's earnings. Xerox Corp.'s first-quarter profit sank 85% and executives cautioned investors that preparing the company to break up would cost more than expected this year. The warning came after Xerox cut about 8,300 jobs during the first three months of the year. Xerox in January said it will separate by the end of 2016 into two companies: one focused on selling and maintaining its traditional copiers and printers, the other focused on providing business services.
KKR swings to first-quarter loss. KKR & Co. swung to a first-quarter loss as jittery markets dented the value of payment processor First Data Corp. and other major holdings. The New York private-equity firm posted a loss of $329.9 million, or 73 cents a share, compared with a year-earlier profit of $270.5 million, or 57 cents a share.
Fed statement could offer clues toward June rate decision. Federal Reserve officials are unlikely to raise short-term interest rates at their meeting this week, but could drop hints about whether they might move at their next gathering in June. Clues could lie in their assessment of whether the economy appears more likely to fare better or worse than their forecasts—the so-called balance of risks.
An oil kingdom plans to wean itself from oil.Saudi Arabia, crimped by low crude prices, approved Monday a long-term blueprint for the kingdom's economic transformation aimed at reducing its dependence on oil. The steep drop in crude prices has given new urgency to the kingdom's effort to find new sources of income. The International Monetary Fund estimates the Middle East's oil-dependent economies have missed out on $390 billion in oil revenues last year and face up to $150 billion in income losses this year as a result of cheap oil prices.
Cadence Design Systems Inc., a San Jose, Calif., electronic-design automation company, said Geoff Ribar will retire as finance chief in March 2017. He joined the company as CFO in late 2010. Mr. Ribar will assist the company in the search for a successor, which it has begun. He received 2015 compensation valued at $1.8 million, including a salary of $400,000, a bonus of $362,003 and equity awards valued at $1.1 million, according to its proxy statement.

Aidan and Bethany8/01/2009
There was constant rain throughout Aidan's and Bethanys wedding day. The rain really challenged us to come up with some of our best work to date. The light was fantastically soft, the locations were really classy and the bride and groom were really in control throughout. We rarely directed the action, just photographing what was there was already perfect. Thanks guys.
I love this photo! It looks like a scene lifted from an old movie. Bethany looked so retro and so elegant.
The bride looks as if she's in a photo frame. The house has an historic feel to it, with heavy dark wood door frames, lovely wall paper and stained glass windows. I really enjoyed shooting there- there were so many possibilities and interesting compositions.
The colours are beautiful and rich here- the orange Christmas lights give such a nice atmosphere, and the green in the tie really lifts the photo.
And this is just cool!
It never stopped raining that day, but that made the light beautifully soft.
The church had lighting that was quite difficult- it was like having spotlights everywhere. But it added to the drama of the photos.
Walsh Bay was a great spot to take pics in the rain. Its like a ready made photostudio.
In post processing the photos from their location shoot, we made the colours a bit desaturated, but upped the contrast of light and dark. That really suited the rainy day and soft light, and gave the photos more mood.

Thermal Infrared Hyperspectral Camera can be applied similarly to a Thermographic camera, with the fundamental difference that each pixel contains a full LWIR spectrum.
Consequently, the object identification can be performed based on both the temperature and surface material. Such chemical identification of the object can be performed without a need for an external light source such as the Sun or the Moon. In comparison to traditional Thermographic camera, the AISA OWL image is highly detailed, yet containing the valuable spectral information.
The image above demonstrates Specim Aisa OWL chemical imaging capabilities. The emission measurement, an outdoor scan in winter conditions, ambient temperature -10 C. The contrast level indicates the temperature of the object, a temperature difference of 0,3 C can be measured. Relative radiance and absorbance spectra from a gas burst are shown with arrows. As the infrared spectra of the different substances have clearly distinctive characteristics, the detection of gas leakage and component definition is easy.
