Dear Friends,
"So, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation:
everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!"
(II Corinthians 5:17)
It's the time of year when we feel the urge to give our lives a "make over," and often that means cleaning out cupboards and closets. TV shows like Marie Kondo's "Tidying Up" and countless self-help books promise to help us do this very difficult task. You can even pay someone to clear away the clutter for you!
So here is a news flash for you! I have discovered the best way to do this without devoting time to watching TV or reading or paying a specialist! You paint!
For the past three weeks, our church offices have been undergoing a transformation with new ceilings in all the rooms and new paint for the main office, the workroom, and my office. Having the office painted is wonderful; everything looks great . . . except for the piles of books and papers on my desk, my floor, and my table. In order to have my shelves painted, everything had to come off, and there are a lot of shelves in my office.
So, the process of sorting has begun—and, as you know, it's job. A lot of stuff has accumulated over the eight and a half years I've been in this office, and I'm amazed at the things I've saved—or, rather, not thrown away—over the years. No, I'm not following Marie Kondo's advice and saving things that "spark joy." I'm making decisions on what to keep because I need to have space in which to work!
All this got me thinking, and I found myself asking some interesting questions: What room or space in my house do I want to clean out? What is keeping me from doing that? What help do I need? Hmmm . . .
When we are baptized, we are given a new start in life. With the water, we are symbolically washed clean. We die to our old lives and rise to a new one in Christ. It's a new beginning. Most of us were baptized a while ago, even decades ago, and since then, stuff has accumulated in our lives: grudges and guilt, doubts and fears. Along with cleaning out cupboards and closets, maybe we need to do some spiritual cleaning out. Maybe we need to ask ourselves: What do I need to sort out in my relationship with others and with God?
Do I need to forgive or be forgiven? Is there a gift that I need to give? A broken relationship I need to mend? A new connection I need to make? Do I need to create space in which to be with God? What do I need to sort out in my relationship with others and with God? What is keeping me from doing this? What help do I need?
The season of Epiphany in which we find ourselves is a season of revelation, when we celebrate Christ as the Light of the world. May Christ shine some light in the crowded cupboards of our souls so that we can do some much needed "sorting." May we open our hearts to the work of the Spirit and allow it to create space for new life. May God guide us into a life that will indeed bring us joy!
Working on my shelves and my spirit,
Pastor Lee
P.S. I will inadvertently have time in the coming weeks to do some spiritual sorting while I am recuperating from surgery on February 18. I am fine, but some physical "repair work" needs to be done, and I'll be out three or four weeks. Glafy Carr and Eric Iki will be preaching on February 24 and March 3, respectively, and I'm lining up two other pastors for March 10 and 17, as needed. Rev. Erika Gara, pastor of Hope UMC, and Rev. Molly Vetter, pastor of Redondo First UMC, will be on call for pastoral care. You'll be in good hands, and I ask for your prayers for successful surgery and recovery.

Tomorrow's Halloween, and I thought it a fine time to do an article I'd been planning to do for a while: a review of the bizarre 1986 horror film Gothic, directed by Ken Russell. I've seen this film many times over the years and my husband and I watched it again last night on DVD; I also saw it in high-definition on Netflix Streaming during my research trip to Boston. Gothic, which is a fictionalized account of the genesis of Mary Shelley's classic horror novel Frankenstein, is a film with particular resonance to me: it depicts certain events and conditions that are the subject of my academic research on climate change in the early 19th century, for my dissertation entitled Ten Years of Winter.
Here's the backstory, which the movie doesn't get into. A series of volcanic eruptions beginning in 1809 pumped a lot of stuff–sulfur dioxide, particularly–into the Earth's atmosphere. This stuff scattered solar radiation, cooled the surface and turned the weather over much of the world cold and disagreeable. The summer of 1816 was the height of this effect. In June that year, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley and his girlfriend (later wife) Mary, Byron's lover Claire Clairmont, and his doctor John Polidori rented a luxury villa on Lake Geneva called the Villa Diodati for summer vacation. Because the weather conditions were so bad, their plans of picnicing and yachting were ruined. They were forced to stay indoors with fires blazing, and to amuse themselves they told ghost stories. This was how Mary came up with Frankenstein, Polidori hatched The Vampyr and Lord Byron came up with his poem "Darkness."
Gothic begins with the arrival of Percy (Julian Sands), Mary (Natasha Richardson) and Claire (Miriam Cyr) to the villa by boat, in gloomy weather. Gawkers following the scandals of this literary circle–Byron had exiled himself from England after a series of sex scandals, some of them homosexual in nature–watch through telescopes across the lake. Byron (played by Gabriel Byrne) and Polidori (Timothy Spall, later famous for the Harry Potter films) are already there. After a lurid dinner scene which establishes that the friends are morally depraved and also somewhat distrustful of each other, night falls and the fun really begins.
As thunder crackles and candle flames flicker, the friends hold a seance over the skull of the "Black Monk" and try, on Byron's dare, to realize their worst fears. The movie doesn't make entirely clear what happens next, except some sort of entity, which can evidently change form, is unleashed somewhere in the house. Whatever it is, it stalks them for most of the movie, playing on their fears. Mary, traumatized by the death of a child, fears losing another one; the entity appears as various dead or dying children. Percy, a raging laudanum addict, is having a bad trip and for some reason dreads seeing a spectral woman with eyes on her breasts. Poledori, who is gay, is terrified of divine judgment for his moral decay. It's anyone's guess what Claire is afraid of. She spends most of the movie screaming, flopping on the floor, foaming at the mouth, eating rats, and writhing around in perverse pleasure. Despite being white, Claire has a colossal 80s Afro that is the rival of anything Pam Grier wore a decade earlier.
Beyond its basic premise, the movie is pretty disjointed. Ken Russell prided himself on an over the top style, and he seems to have established the movie as mainly an opportunity for the cast to chew the scenery as much as possible. They rage, scream, shout, wrestle, threaten each other with revolvers, knives and leeches, and sometimes have sex. For good measure Russell throws into the mix a mechanical belly-dancer robot, a knight in armor wrapped in a boa constrictor, Percy's dreaded eyes-on-the-tits gag, and even a live goat. How does this all fit together? I have no idea, but it's at least interesting to watch.
Gothic is not very scary, but it is atmospheric. There are lots of great gloomy shots and terrifying images, much like horror imagery from the Georgian period really was (the famous Henri Fuseli painting The Nightmare from 1781 is recreated in the picture, and serves as the basis of the film's poster), and it's interesting to see a depiction of this romantic period as dark, moody and terrifying. When I watched the HD version on streaming I was surprised how pretty the movie was, especially the color palette; this is totally lost on my generally poor-quality DVD version. Still, it was a low budget film and, while they pulled off the period pretty well, there are some foibles. It was filmed in a mansion that probably dates from the Victorian or perhaps even Edwardian era, 100 years later than the period depicted, so there are some anachronistic details–like light bulbs clearly visible in the lamps above the billiard table–and parts of the set are draped in sheets to hide various aspects of it. The cheesy My-First-Casio style 80s synth music score by Thomas Dolby ("She Blinded Me With Science!") is also especially annoying. On the whole, though, Russell did a pretty good job.
Forget about the movie being historically accurate. There are some nods to real events, such as Shelley's "Viking funeral" from 1822 and the death of Byron in the Greek War in 1824, both depicted in flash-forwards. But the story is heavily fictionalized. But as it's one of the few movies set in the era I study and actually deals with some aspects of my research, it's a welcome favorite. It's perfect for a rainy, chilly Halloween eve, especially if you have a good glass of wine at hand!
Grade: B plus.

This week Year 8 historians have been analysing World War I artefacts the school has borrowed from the Imperial War Museum in Salford. They have been lucky enough to handle them and even try some on, and have discussed how the artefacts link to their current studies on the war.
The museum is free to enter and open from 10am to 5pm every day over the holidays (except the 24, 25 & 26 December). https://www.iwm.org.uk/visits/iwm-north

There are so many individuals or groups of them who make a difference in our lives in various ways. While we genuinely feel for some of them, there are many others who we detest and would never like to meet again.
Moreover, it's not necessary that you have to meet people for them to make a difference in your lives. I see that your surprised. So let's quickly get down to penning the list.
We are what we are because of our family. They are the ones who bring us up, teach us the values of good and bad, bear our tantrums and help in moulding us into good human beings.
Whether its our school or college, our teachers surely play a huge part in shaping our lives. As kids, there are so many things we learn from our teachers in the classrooms. Once we move on to college far away from home, the teachers have an equally important yet different role to play. They are our mentors guiding us to perfection so that we can build successful careers.
A human without friends is like a fish without water. We all need friends who we can laugh with, cry with, smile with, tell our problems to and more. Whether its the 3am friend or the friends with whom we study; the friends with whom we go for lunch or the friends who accompany us just for movies and hanging out, every friend is important. As the Airtel ad says 'Har Ek Friend Zaroori Hota Hai'.
Alexander Graham Bell
When he invented the first telephone in 1876, even he wouldn't have imagined how revolutionary his invention was. From landlines to feature phones to smartphones, we have come a really long way. While it revolutionized the way people in far off lands could communicate with each other, today phones have become a lot more useful as they include excellent music players, cameras and more so much so that you just need a smartphone and no other device whatsoever.
Inventors of modes of transport
Whether it's Karl Benz (car), Wright Brothers (Aeroplanes) or Richard Trevithick (Train), the inventors of the different modes of transport surely made a huge difference in the way people traveled from one place to another which was thousands of kilometers away. It was quite a difference from the huge number of days it took to travel on bullock carts or ships.
Discoverers of electricity
Individuals like Nikolas Tesla, Benjamin Franklin, James Watt, Alessandro Volta, Thomas Edison and Michael Faraday all played a part in discovering electricity and electronic equipment in their own ways. Their discovery has changed the lives for billions who were used to living in the dark or powering their lives only with coal.
Pioneers of the Internet
While there are many pioneers of the Internet, Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf can be signaled out as the two key men who invented the Internet. The Internet has played quite a role in digitizing journals, newspapers, books, magazines and more. With its numerous articles and thousands of websites, it has helped make the world a smaller place than ever. Any information one wants is available at the click of a button.
While there are many others who I would be thankful for, these 7 groups of individuals have surely made a huge difference in my life in one way or the other.

Have Slides–Will Travel
Jane Hall and Mary Lou Drake
Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden
Cincinnati, Ohio
"Have Slides–Will Travel" is the account of how on-site slide programs for school youngsters evolved into programs which we take to seniors in their retirement and nursing homes, their centers and clubs. This activity has expanded and enriched both their world and ours.
In 19911992 the Cincinnati Zoo's school services department received requests from teachers for students to shadow keepers to learn what they actually do. This was not feasible, so the department suggested that we create a program using slides taken of zoo employees doing their jobs. Using their own writing and photography skills, docents produced the program, had it reviewed by our school services director, announced it in the school services bulletin, and a whole new educational opportunity was born.
Ideas began popping. Our cat show lady, Cathryn Hilker, inspires us all with a love of cheetahs, so a predator/prey script utilizing cat adaptations was written. The program included a live demonstration with the show cats, but the numbers proved unwieldy, so "Cheetah" remains with slides only.
A retired professor, whose passion and expertise involved bats, joined us and promptly gave us a great program on the flying furballs, enhanced by both professional slides and some of her own slides and biofacts.
From this point, docent interest and enthusiasm as well as additional requests from teachers resulted in a current library of fourteen programs. We will be showing you a sampler of slides from each of these. At this time, too, the need to organize, to become an entity, was perceived. A name, "Conservation Series," was chosen. The series has been extremely popular–in one year it was seen by 10,000 children; "Zoo Careers" being by far the most popular title.
In 1977 one of our docents took a program to a retirement home. A second volunteer, whose former life had involved administration of senior facilities, wondered aloud about bringing the zoo to these folks, many of whom were no longer able to get to zoo grounds. The volunteer office was receptive to the idea, our man had the contacts, and a small focus group of activity directors was invited to see and hear what we had to offer. About this time a regular meeting of the area's program directors was scheduled, and our presentation was received with enthusiasm. After all, what's not to like? These folks are always looking for fresh program ideas and here we were–and free to boot! "Have Slides–Will Travel" was born.
How does this all work? We will explain our sources of funding and how networking benefits a number of agencies, how we have organized, who does what, training, equipment, logistics, publicity, and, of course, some pitfalls and challenges. And we are open to new directions. Soon we hope to have a new tram up and running so that more mobile seniors can following their viewing with a special on-grounds tour or have it in combination with a slide show.
Why do we reach out to these older folks? Well, technically our zoo comprises sixty-seven acres, but a zoo is not its geographic boundaries–its outreach is worldwide. We are in action in Kenya, Surinam, and Trinidad. The zoo is a microcosm of a larger universe, and our audience is a part of this. Our mission is to be inclusive. Beyond this we can help enrich lives as our pictures and talk trigger memories and experiences. They can feel a part of the real world–the natural world–so their vision expands if only momentarily. Many of them have family who enjoy the zoo, and so now they can share experiences.
And for us? Well, some of our older friends do doze off the minute the lights go down. But there are always some like the diminutive, twinkly lady who recently told me of a happy zoo experience from when she was six–and she is now ninety-six! How can we not be there?

We've all been there. You are in the car for a trip around town or to another town and you need an activity to keep your kids quiet and engaged. Or maybe you are waiting in line at the grocery store or doctor's appointment. Turn these times of waiting into learning opportunities with these fun math games to play in the car (or plane or train or line). They require no supplies and can be adapted for all ages.
To help you remember these games when you are out and about, download the free PDF with instructions for all of the games. Fold this one page printable, stash it in your purse, and the next time you are waiting you'll have a secret weapon ready to go!
Math Games To Play In The Car
Count anything and everything. This is a great game for younger children and those learning to count to higher numbers. You could count green road signs, blue trucks, cars, or cows. Count items as a team or play a game to see who can find the most of whatever item you are counting. Modify this game by counting forward, backward, or skip counting.
Opposites word game
Give your child a word and have him tell you the opposite. Some examples include: hot/cold, up/down, angry/happy, and considerate/rude.
You can make this more challenging for older children by using more difficult word combinations including ones that are abstract concepts. It may challenge you too as you think up word combinations to stump your older child! For a twist, see if they can stump you.
Guess my number
This game can be adapted for any age. Think of a number and have your children guess it. You can give a range in which your number falls or make it more challenging by not giving a range. When your children guess a number, tell them if the number is higher or lower.
For younger children, stick with answering that the number is higher or lower. For older children, give them clues about your number. For example, if your number is 50 your clues could be:
- My number is even.
- My number is divisible by (2, 5, 10, 25).
- My number is equal to two quarters.
- My number is the square root of 2,500.
Guess My Secret Rule
This game is similar to Guess My Number, but instead of trying to guess the number you try to guess the rule. For example, if your rule is to multiply by 10 and a player says 37, you would answer 370.
Things that ___.
Choose (or have your child choose) a descriptive quality such as green, fits in a shoe box, rolls, has wheels, or is a mammal. Then work together to identify items that have that quality. For example, if your descriptive quality is "has wheels" answers might be car, wagon, bike, roller skates, scooter, or train.
You can make this game more challenging by choosing a descriptive quality that is more abstract such as blows in the wind, makes me happy, or requires electricity.
Twenty Questions
Choose a person, place, or thing and tell your child the category. Have him ask questions about your item that can be answered with a yes or a no. Continue until he guesses your item correctly. You might be surprised that even your young children will sometimes stump you. When my daughter was seven, she stumped all of us with "dust."
Things that don't belong
Choose three items, two that share similar qualities and one that doesn't. Tell your child the three items. Have him guess which one doesn't belong and tell why it doesn't belong.
You can make this more challenging by trying to figure out how every item does not belong. We've not been stumped yet although a few were difficult.

About Mintabie
Mintabie is a remote opal mining town in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in South Australia. It is in the far northwest of the state, about 300 kilometres from Coober Pedy.
For some decades, the Mintabie township has been leased to the State Government by APY. In June 2018 the State Government notified that the lease would be terminated effective 30 June 2019.
As with other areas in the APY Lands, all visitors require permits to enter Mintabie. Under conditions of the lease the State Government has issued 12-month licences to people who wished to live in the town and mine the surrounding opal field. As the lease has now terminated the State Government no longer has the authority to issue licences for people to reside at Mintabie.
The population of Mintabie fluctuates throughout the year, with approximately 20 residents living there year-round, and up to 60 residents during the peak opal mining season.
Termination of the Mintabie Township Lease
Following a review of the Mintabie township lease in 2017, the State Government decided to uphold the decision made by the former government in February 2018 to terminate the lease.
Consequently, the Minister for Energy and Mining wrote to APY on 28 June 2018 to notify his intention to terminate the lease.
To give residents time to make alternative arrangements, the date for termination of the lease was 30 June 2019.

Review of the Mintabie Precious Stones Field
A 2017 Review of the Mintabie township arrangements made several recommendations to the South Australian government, including that it should review the arrangements for opal mining at Mintabie.
The State Government is reviewing the arrangements for opal mining in Mintabie and is assessing options regarding the future of the Mintabie Precious Stones Field.
While this review is in progress, there is no change in the way that opal mining in Mintabie is permitted - opal mining remains 'business as usual'.
Key stakeholders, including the opal mining industry and the APY Executive Board, were given the opportunity to put forward their views by a submission to the Department for Energy and Mining. Submissions closed on 31 October 2018.
- Submissions to the review of the Mintabie Precious Stones Field are now available for download.
Mintabie Oversight Committee
The Mintabie Oversight Committee was established by the Minister for Energy and Mining to provide himself and the Premier, as the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, with advice so that the State Government can:
- meet its obligations resulting from the termination of the Mintabie Lease; and
- ensure the orderly transition of control of the land covered by the Lease to APY on 1 July 2019.
The Mintabie Oversight Committee is independently chaired and represented by APY Board members and senior officers from the South Australian and Australian Governments.

Opportunities for APY communities
Returning control to the traditional owners
APY communities want the management of the area to return to APY. APY Executive has notified the State Government that it does not intend to issue permits for people to reside at Mintabie following the termination of the Mintabie Township lease on 30 June 2019.
Protecting the community
Termination of the Mintabie Township Lease will have a range of positive social and economic impacts for APY, including improving the health and wellbeing of Anangu.
Local training and employment
Many sites in the Mintabie township have been abandoned, with rubbish remaining and derelict structures left standing.
Remediation may also be required due to previous damage to sacred sites in the area. There is a concern among Anangu about existing damage to sacred sites and the potential for more damage during unsupervised clean-up operations.
The State Government is working closely with APY to determine the appropriate remediation that would be required for the Township area, and the local jobs and training opportunities that will be made available in undertaking this work.

What began as a Category 4 Hurricane has now weakened to a tropical depression, and the region that was pounded with heavy rain for six straight days is finally beginning to survey the damage that some experts say will cost more than Katrina and Sandy combined to repair.
The remnants of the hurricane, which has killed at least 38 people, began traveling up the Mississippi Delta this morning. Although it appears the worst is over for Texas, many areas remain underwater and tens of thousands of people are still seeking refuge in overflowing shelters.

One question we're frequently asked is whether or not the equity market has peaked. It's a logical question, especially since the U.S. economy has experienced 109-consecutive months of expansion (the record is 120). Yet, we hear news about the Trump administration threatening tariffs and economic pundits discussing potential repercussions, which can make you wonder what the future has in store.
At Luma Wealth, we believe the U.S may break its 120-month expansion record. Here's why:
- The yield curve has not yet inverted. The shape of the yield curve (which reflects bond rates at different maturities) is a widely followed economic indicator. When the curve is inverted, it means short-term bonds are paying a higher rate of return than longer-term bonds, which could signal a lack of investor confidence. Historically, an inverted yield curve has preceded each of the last seven recessions over the past 50 years – however, right now the yield curve is flattening, but is not yet inverted. It can take a very long time before a flat yield curve inverts (between 1994 to 1998, the yield curve remained flat before inverting). Once the curve has inverted, it can take a long time before a recession actually begins.
- The Trucker's Survey is strong. Trucks and railroads tend to move most of the commerce in the U.S., and if the Trucking Survey is trending up, that's a good sign. Historically, the Trucking Survey has the highest correlation to the direction of the economy, and right now, it's near a 15-year high. (Source: Evercore ISI)
- Small business owners remain optimistic. Job openings continue to climb, and an Index of Small Business Optimism is at a record high, suggesting potential trade disruptions may be minimal, and there are no issues with confidence at this time. (Source: Evercore ISI)
- Corporations are spreading the wealth. Dividend payouts went up in the second quarter of 2018, indicating that companies have high cash balances and are looking to provide returns to shareholders. Although some companies have voiced concerns about input costs (especially for steel and aluminum), we have not yet seen demand slow down.
Some asset classes are up, others are down. Remain diversified.
So far this year, the small cap sector has performed well while international equities (which had a banner year in 2017) have performed poorly. Although market conditions may cause us to shift portfolio weightings relative to our benchmarks, we continue to believe clients should maintain diversified portfolios comprised of a variety of asset classes and invest for the long term.
Good portfolio decisions are always a balancing act. Be in touch with your advisor if you have any questions regarding how these topics may affect your portfolio.

Other than applications and OS X system files, most Mac users have two kinds of files. Those we want to hide from prying eyes because they're valuable.
Or, those files we want to hide because they may contain incriminating evidence. Is there a way to destroy or delete or erase files you don't want to keep on your Mac, but don't want others to find? Don't use the Trash.
Erase Data Like A Pro
Deleting files from your Mac is not as easy as simply moving the files to the Trash can, and then emptying the Trash. Those files are still on your Mac.
The way OS X works when deleting a file is to simply turn off the light that says the file is here. But the file is still on the Mac.
If you choose Secure Empty Trash from the Finder menu, the deleted file is written over a few times making it more difficult to find with a recovery tool.
Or, you can use an app like Data Eraser Pro which costs a few dollars but comes with three distinct file deletion methods to ensure the files you trash are truly trashed.
Here's how it works.
Data Eraser Pro is drag and drop. Drag a file or folder to erase. Select the method. Click the Secure Erase button.
That's all there is to it.
1 Phase Normal Erase erases securely, but not so much as 7 Phases or 35 Phases which take longer.
The latter two levels make it virtually impossible for a deleted or erased file to be recovered from a Mac, so use it wisely.
Even Abby Sciuto from N.C.I.S. couldn't dig up those files from your Mac.
Doesn't Apple's built-in Secure Empty Trash do the same thing? Yes, but not as much. Extra peace of mind comes with extra levels of erase and a few bucks.
For an even less expensive option check out Jeff Mincey's look at FileShredder.

In-Car Camera Identifies and Monitors Your Every Emotion
One company's new product, an in-car camera that identifies and monitors your every emotion, has some interesting goals for future product iterations: not only is a future iteration aimed at identifying when someone drunk gets into a car, but as cars go autonomous, this product's creators plan to have it identify your age, race, and gender—as well as predict what your relationship is with others in the car. Eventually, they believe this tech will connect with other smart devices to collectively identify your ideal user experience, personalizing music, adjusting car temperature and lighting, and changing car TV content.

ST. CHARLES COUNTY • A woman who was sexually assaulted by a cable repairman is suing her attacker and three companies, claiming the crime could have been prevented if they had done better background checks.
The former member of a domestic terrorist group got clearance in June for the expedited screening lanes known as PreCheck, according to a report last month from the Department of Homeland Security's office of inspector general
52-year-old Clayton Osbon grew up in Mequon and learned to fly in southeastern Wisconsin. He now says JetBlue should have kept him from flying after he showed signs of mental illness.

text: You're Next is a film near and dear to my heart. As many of you know, my TV show The Final Girls (yes, we're still alive, just been in eternal "development") focuses on the concept of the "final girl." Most are familiar with that concept by now. In You're Next, they use all your preconceptions of the final girl, and then amp them up to 11 with an interesting twist. And personally it's a twist I loved. You're Next is directed by Adam Wingard, who is one of the great up-and-coming directors of the "mumblegore" movement. I don't really like that term, but it's a thing now, so I'll go with it. Along with (interestingly cast) co-stars Ti West and Joe Swanberg, these guys are helping usher in the current crop of smaller vicious little horror movies. Here, they take on the home invasion trope that has been a huge focus of horror lately, and put their own stamp on it. I'll try not to ruin much, but let's just say that when a group of animal mask-wearing intruders invade a family's home, they get a bit more than they bargained for when one family guest reveals her secret past. It's simple. It's fun. It's a blast. At times it's downright brutal (anything with feet ALWAYS kills me). At other times it's hilarious. You're Next was a festival fave, and once it was (finally) released wide by LionsGate, it has since garnered a nice following. Although, I've noticed a weird backlash against You're Next lately and I have no idea why. Sometimes that happens when a movie has a lot of pre-built buzz, which this one did from the hugely popular festival screenings. But it doesn't deserve backlash at all, just go watch this movie and enjoy yourself dammit. Although beware, the violence is pretty hardcore (screwdrivers, axes, meat tenderizers, you name it…) But if you don't watch it, you'll miss one of my favorite, most twisted lines of dialogue ever, "F*** me next to your dead mom." Ha. SO messed up. I had a blast with this movie. Enjoy it kids.

NTA (UGC) NET Paper 1 Communication and Technology: Communication Process
Download PDF of This Page (Size: 133K) ↧
As mentioned above, we can clearly see that there are six elements of communication: a code, a channel, encoding, decoding, encoder and decoder.
A message is communicated or a piece of information is conveyed by means of a mechanism. This is necessary with a view to being able to convey the message/information fully and completely. Thus, there is a sender of the message who is also called an encoder, just as a computer understands the language of a code.
A channel or device is used to communicate the message. It could be a radio or a television set, newspaper or magazine and the like:
The encoding process means putting the message together or arranging the ideas in a recognizable and understandable form, for conveying it to the receivers. Unlike in telegraphy, the encoder here is an human agent.
The encoder decides the content of the message.
Similarly, decoder is the destination where the message lands. The receiver has to wait for the words to be spoken or written and to make out what he/she can make of them according to his or her knowledge, experience, assumption, and attitudes. When two people communicate who are equally matched in intelligence, social backgrounds and comprehension power; the advantages and disadvantages pass from one to the other. Thus, the encoder (who is the initiator of the communication activity) chooses his subject and the channel of communication and makes the first impact on the mind of the decoder.
Decoding is one of the most crucial and very crucial elements of the communication process. The entire process of comprehension process of communication hinges on the decoder of course, the message will be received, recorded and interpreted differently by different people according to their knowledge, experience and understanding levels.

eFlexFuel terms of use
These Terms of Use are applicable to all eFlexFuel E85 conversion kits, their wiring harnesses, and their accessories manufactured by StepOne Tech Ltd (the manufacturer). Please read these Terms of Use carefully before using or attempting to install the eFlexFuel or the related components. This ensures that both parties (the buyer and the seller) are aware of how to proceed in different operational situations of the eFlexFuel.
Guarantee and refund
The manufacturer offers a one-year (12 months) manufacturer's guarantee for the control unit and the other components. The guarantee applies only to the conversion kit, the included wiring harness, ethanol sensor, and their functionality. Always read the instructions of the instruction manual in their entirety before attempting to install or use the eFlexFuel. This ensures that the product operates as it has been designed.
The guarantee does not cover damages caused by improper installation by the buyer or by the buyer's agent or if the product has been damaged by wear that is not caused by normal use.
The guarantee covers faulty installation by the manufacturer or by an authorized dealer. Any modification done to the conversion kit without the consent of the manufacturer voids the guarantee.
If the product has a fault that can be regarded as a result of faster than normal wear or as a result of a manufacturing defect, the manufacturer will provide the buyer with a new product or repair the faulty product within the time that is seen appropriate by the local consumer protection act. The manufacturer has the right to redeem the faulty product if it is replaced by a new one.
The manufacturer reserves the rights to any modifications, expansions, attachments, or improvements made by customer.
The manufacturer must accept returns of unused products within 32 days as stipulated by the Chapter 6 of the Finnish Consumer Protection Act.
Product liability
The use of the eFlexFuel conversion kit happens on the user's own responsibility. Please note that the warranty granted by a car manufacturer may be voided once a conversion kit has been connected to the car's systems.
The manufacturer only commits to compensating for damage caused to the conversion kit, the accompanied wiring harness, or accessories as covered by the guarantee.
The manufacturer does not compensate for damage caused to the car by the use of ethanol containing fuel. Neither does the manufacturer compensate for damage caused by the installation to the product, the installation's target vehicle or the person carrying out the installation, if the installation is carried out by the customer or by the customer's agent. Damage caused by using malfunctioning eFlexFuel is the user's responsibility.
Ethanol sensor should be connected by using accessories (incl. quick connectors and fuel hose) approved by the manufacturer.
Manufacturer is not responsible for any consequences resulted from violating the local regulations. User must be aware of the local regulations when it comes to upgrading a vehicle to bioethanol-based fuel. Please note that using eFlexFuel could be against the law in some parts of the world.
The compatibility information provided by the manufacturer or distributor is always indicative. eFlexFuel is installed to used vehicles in which components or component properties may have been changed from the original. For this reason, there may be situations where the product is suitable for 99 % of identical cars, but not suitable for 1 %. For example, over-worn parts of the ignition and fuel supply may interfere with the operation of the device so that it does not function in the intended manner.
Please note that the eFlexFuel device's Bluetooth application may not work on all mobile devices. There are hundreds of different operating system versions in mobile devices. For this reason, it is impossible to guarantee the functionality of the applications in every different operating system and device combination. Insufficient Bluetooth connectivity is not a valid reason for a product reclamation.
In all faults associated with eFlexFuel, the customer must contact the retailer first. The manufacturer does not compensate for any third-party actions, such as repairs, and is not directly or indirectly liable for any third-party installations. The manufacturer is also not liable for installation errors in any way.

Four of the Bears' five starters are averaging in double figures, led by freshman F Ryan Anderson, who is pouring in 18.3 ppg. The 6-10 rookie, who was named MVP of the Great Alaska Shootout last month, also paces the Bears in three-pointers, having drained 19-of-41 from behind the arc (46.3%).
Senior G Ayinde Ubaka has played well, too, lifting his averages to 14.5 points and 4.6 assists. He rates among the top five in the Pac-10 in free throw percentage (4th, 86.7%), assists (4th) and assist-to-turnover ratio (5th, 2.47).
As a team, the Bears lead the nation in free throw accuracy at 83.8 percent, as of Dec. 5, having made 114-of-136 tries. Cal has connected on at least 80 percent from the stripe in each of its last five games, including an 11-for-11 effort vs. Loyola Marymount Nov. 25, which tied the school record for most attempts without a miss.

Golden Bear Notes
Last Time Out: Comeback Falls Short vs. Nevada, 77-71
California battled back from an 18-point second-half deficit for force a tie, but Nevada (#24 AP/#20 ESPN/USA Today) outscored the Bears, 14-8, down the stretch to win at the 10th Pete Newell Challenge Sunday at HP Pavilion in San Jose. Cal trailed 43-25 early in the second half, but used a 16-4 run to tie the contest at 63. After the teams traded baskets, Nevada scored six straight points for a 71-65 advantage. All five starters scored in double figures for the Bears, led by Ayinde Ubaka's 16 points. DeVon Hardin also finished with a double-double with 14 points and 10 boards. Twelve of his points came after intermission.
Cal Hosts 14th Annual Golden Bear Classic
California is hosting the 14th edition of the Golden Bear Classic this weekend with Chicago State, Eastern Michigan and San Diego all making their first appearances in the event. Cal has captured nine of the previous 13 events, including the past two. Last year, the Bears defeated Northern Colorado, 83-59, in the opening round, then beat Northeastern, 83-76, behind 23 points and 14 rebounds by tournament MVP DeVon Hardin in the championship game. Both of Hardin's totals still stand as career highs. Overall, eight of the finals have been decided by less than 10 points, and four by three points or less, most recently in 2004 when Cal upended Pepperdine, 61-58.
Golden Bear Classic Notebook: Eastern Michigan head coach Charles Ramsey served as an assistant coach under Ben Braun at Cal from 1997-2001 ... the Eagles defeated Cal, 67-65, in Ypsilanti, Mich., in last year's season-opener - the only previous meeting between the schools ... Braun spent 11 years coaching EMU before taking his current position at Cal and is a member of the EMU Hall of Fame ... Cal has a 2-0 series lead over San Diego, but the teams have not met since the 1981-82 season.
Bears Have Won 11 Straight Home Non-Conference Games
Cal's 78-48 win over Kansas State Nov. 29 marked the Bears' 11th straight home victory against non-conference competition inside Haas Pavilion. The Bears were a perfect 6-0 at home vs. teams outside the Pac-10 last year, and they are 3-0 this season. Cal's last loss in Berkeley to a non-Pac-10 squad was a 63-60 decision to Colorado on Dec. 7, 2004.
Cal Has Scored 70+ for Seven Straight Games
Cal has topped the 70-point barrier in offensive production in each of its last seven games, their longest such streak since scoring at least 70 points 10 consecutive times during the 2002-03 season. The Bears totaled a season-high 79 points, albeit in a loss, at San Diego State to begin the run. They also had 78 points in back-to-back contests vs. Loyola Marymount in the final of the Great Alaska Shootout and at home against Kansas State.
Ayinde Ubaka Picking Up the Assists
Senior G Ayinde Ubaka has led the Bears in assists in five of Cal's last six games. Although the stat shouldn't be a surprise, Ubaka, however, has averaged 5.5 assists per game during the stretch, well above his career rate of 3.7 apg. He had a high of eight (no turnovers) against Kansas State Nov. 29 and had six (1 turnover) vs. Hawaii Nov. 24. As a result, Ubaka has moved into ninth place on Cal's career assist list with 312, and he needs just six more to tie Rickey Hawthorne for the eight spot.
Cal Career Assist Leaders6. Gene Ransom (1976-78) 3567. Roy Fisher (1988-91) 3338. Rickey Hawthorne (1973-76) 3189. Ayinde Ubaka (2004- ) 312
Cal Keeps Turnovers to a Minimum
Cal, which led the Pac-10 in fewest turnovers last season (12.4 per game), is committing just 12.0 topg this year. The Bears have had fewer turnovers than their opponents in six of eight games, and have committed more than 14 just once (16 vs. Loyola Marymount). In last week's win over Kansas State, Cal had just two turnovers at halftime and finished the game with only eight - the Bears' lowest figure since a four-turnover performance vs. Stanford last Feb. 9. Cal also committed three turnovers in the second half vs. Nevada this past Saturday.
Bears' Defense Key in Victories
In its six wins this season, Cal is limiting opponent to 36.8 percent shooting from the floor and 56.5 ppg. None of the three foes to play in Haas Pavilion so far have reached 50 points - Utah Valley State (47), Santa Clara (48) and Kansas State (48). The 47 points scored by UVSC was the lowest for a Cal opponent in a season opener since the Bears defeated Saint Mary's, 62-44, on Dec. 5, 1964. Only Hawaii, at 40.7 percent, has managed to shoot higher than 40 percent from the floor among the six victims. In addition, Cal is outrebounding foes, 35.7-35.0, in wins, against a combined deficit of 16 in its losses to San Diego State and Nevada.
Ayinde Ubaka Efficiently Handling Duties at the Point
Senior G Ayinde Ubaka, who began his career by ranking third in the Pac-10 in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.96) as a freshman, has greatly improved his ratio this year. Entering Friday's contest vs. Chicago State, Ubaka has 37 assists to just 15 turnovers (2.47 ratio). In Cal's win over Kansas State, he had eight assists - one off his career high - and no turnovers. In his last four games, Ubaka has 24 assists and only six turnovers.
Cal Scorching Nets at 83.8% Clip from Free Throw Line
Over a two-year period, Cal has turned what was once a liability into what it now a reliable asset - free throw shooting. The Bears shot just 62.7 percent from the stripe in 2004-05. They then raised their average to 73.3 percent last year, which just missed the school record of 73.5 percent set in 1987. But this season, Cal is one pace to obliterate the mark. Through eight games, the Bears are connecting on 83.8 percent of their free throws. They were especially accurate at the Great Alaska Shootout, sinking 42-of-44 (95.5%) - 19-of-20 vs. Marshall, 12-of-13 vs. Hawaii and 11-of-11 vs. Loyola Marymount. The LMU effort matched the Cal record for most attempts without a miss, with the Bears also going 11-for-11 at DePaul in the 1999 NIT second round. As a team, the Bears made 24 consecutive free throws over the course of the Marshall and Hawaii games, and had another 19-made streak vs. Hawaii/LMU/Kansas State.
Individually, Cal's top five scorers are a combined 97-for-113 (85.8%). Freshman G Jerome Randle has yet to miss in 12 tries on the year, while senior G Ayinde Ubaka has drained 26-of-30 (86.7%) and freshman F Ryan Anderson is 29-for-35 (82.9%). But perhaps the greatest improvement has come from junior C DeVon Hardin, a 38.6 percent shooter as a freshman two years ago, who is 26-for-31 this year (83.9%).
NCAA Free Throw Percentage Leaders (as of Dec. 5)1. California 114-136 83.8%2. Butler 149-183 81.4%3. Delaware State 84-104 80.8%4. Eastern Michigan 79-101 78.2%5. Navy 133-170 78.2%
Cal Takes More FT than Opponents Attempt
Last season, Cal made more free throws (525) than its opponents attempted (505) for the first time in school history. And the Bears have kept up the trend this season, having made 114 free throws to their opponents' 92 attempts. The advantage was built in the opener vs. Utah Valley State when Cal was Cal was 25-of-32 from the line, while UVSC was just 4-of-5. The Bears also limited Santa Clara to just six free throw tries, Hawaii to five and Kansas State to eight.
DeVon Hardin Taking Charge on Defense
With his 6-11, 235-pound frame, junior C DeVon Hardin offers an intimidating presence on the court. He leads the Bears with 19 blocked shots this year (2.38 per game), including a career-best five against Santa Clara and four more vs. Loyola Marymount. For his career, Hardin leads all active Pac-10 players and ranks fifth on Cal's career chart with 93 blocks. But Hardin has added another element to his defense this season - he paces the Bears with eight charges taken. Perhaps his most important stand came in the closing seconds of Cal's 72-70 victory over Marshall when he drew a charge against Chris Ross in the lane with just five seconds left and Cal clinging to a 70-68 lead.
Cal Career Blocked Shot Leaders1. Michael Stewart (1994-97) 2072. Solomon Hughes (1999-02) 1223. Tom Schneiderjohn (1976-79) 1054. Brian Hendrick (1990-93) 985. DeVon Hardin (2005- ) 93
Anderson Could Be Third Freshman to Lead Cal in Scoring since '96
In contributing a team-high 18.3 ppg to date, F Ryan Anderson is aiming to become the third freshman to pace Cal in scoring since 1996. Leon Powe was the last Cal rookie to accomplish the feat when he averaged 15.1 ppg in 2004 and was voted Pac-10 Freshman of the Year. Back in 1996, Shareef Abdur-Rahim not only led the Bears, but he paced the Pac-10 with 21.1 ppg and was named both Pac-10 Freshman of the Year and Pac-10 Player of the Year. Earlier this season, Anderson matched Abdur-Rahim as the only two Cal freshmen to score at least 20 points in each of their first three games. Anderson fell just short of a fourth consecutive 20-point outing when he finished with 19 points against Marshall, totaling 17 second-half points after a two-point first half.
Cal Freshman Scoring Leaders1. Shareef Abdur-Rahim (1996) 21.1 ppg2. Ryan Anderson (2007) 18.3 ppg3. Leon Powe (2004) 15.1 ppg4. Brian Hendrick (1990) 14.9 ppg5. Rickie Hawthorne (1973) 14.2 ppg
Ayinde Ubaka Moves into Top 10 in Three-Pointers, FT Shooting
Senior G Ayinde Ubaka has moved into Cal's all-time top 10 in three-pointers and free throw shooting this season. Now, 14-for-35 (40.0%) from behind the arc, he has 115 career treys, good for eighth place. In addition, his 26-for-30 free throw accuracy (86.7%) this year has moved him into sixth on the Cal career FT chart at 79.1 percent.

Cal Improving in Rebounding Department
Perhaps the key area of concern for Cal entering the season was rebounding. After losing Leon Powe and his Pac-10-leading 10.5 rpg to the NBA last April, the Bears knew that they would have to pick up the effort on the boards. Through the first three games of the year, Cal had a cumulative -21 margin in rebounding. But over their last five contests, the Bears are +9, lowering their season average deficit to -1.5 per game (33.5 - 35.0). Three players are averaging at least 4.5 rpg - Ryan Anderson (8.3 rpg), DeVon Hardin (8.6 rpg) and Theo Robertson (4.5 rpg). Hardin has double-doubles in his last two games vs. Kansas State (12-12) and Nevada (14-10).
Ayinde Ubaka on Two Preseason Award Lists
Senior G Ayinde Ubaka, who earned All-Pac-10 honors last season when he averaged 14.5 ppg and 3.8 apg, is on the preseason watch lists for both the Wooden All-America team and the Bob Cousy Award, which is given to the nation's best point guard. Ubaka is the most experienced member of the Bears, having started 76 of his 85 career games. As a junior, he more than doubled his career scoring average entering the year, going from 6.3 ppg to 14.5 ppg. He also drained 61 three-pointers during the campaign, tying for third-most in school history and just seven shy of the Cal record.
Jordan Wilkes Third Post Hurt in Past Three Years
For the third consecutive season, Cal will be missing one of its primary post players for most, if not all, of the year. The Bears played the 2004-05 campaign without 6-8 forward Leon Powe, who sat out the entire year due to preseason knee surgery. Last year, 6-11 center Rod Benson missed 11 games and was limited in several others due to a stress fracture in a foot, then a torn meniscus in his right knee. Now, 7-0 sophomore center Jordan Wilkes has been diagnosed with a partially torn patella tendon in his left knee and is sidelined for the season. He underwent surgery on Nov. 21.
Pete Newell Statue Installed in Haas Pavilion Club Room
As a fitting tribute to Pete Newell's lifetime accomplishments in basketball as a coach, mentor and leader, a statue of the Hall of Famer and former Golden Bear head coach has been installed inside the Club Room at Haas Pavilion. Created by renowned sculptor Eino, the statue stands approximately seven feet high and weighs nearly 1,200 pounds. The work originated through the vision of the late Brian Maxwell and received additional financial assistance from players, coaches and managers who were part of Newell's teams in Berkeley. As a coach, Newell directed Cal to the 1959 NCAA championship and to a runner-up finish in 1960, when he was voted National Coach of the Year. He later guided the U.S. team to an Olympic gold medal at the 1960 Games in Rome. Newell, who turned 91 in August, served as head coach of the Bears from 1954-60 and compiled a 119-44 record that included four conference titles and four trips to the NCAA Tournament. He then worked as Cal's athletic director from 1960-68. He is a member of both the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and the Cal Athletic Hall of Fame.
Bears Add Four Walk-ons to Roster
Continuing a long-standing tradition under head coach Ben Braun, Cal has added four walk-ons to the roster for the 2006-07 campaign: sophomore G Nican Robinson (5-10, 180, Oakland, CA/Oakland Tech HS), freshman F Thomas Fang (6-5, 200, San Jose, CA/Archbishop Mitty HS), freshman G David Liss (6-0, 165, San Francisco, CA/Branson School) and senior G Patrick Armstrong (6-0, 175, San Jose, CA/Bellarmine Prep). Robinson, a walk-on at UCLA last year, will have sit out the season under NCAA transfer rules. During his tenure in Berkeley, Braun has offered deserving walk-ons a scholarship seven times, including senior Alex Pribble, who received the recognition prior to the 2005-06 season.
Bears Ink Two Forwards to Letters of Intent
Cal signed two forwards to National Letters of Intent during the early November signing period - Harper Kamp and Omondi Amoke. Kamp, a 6-8, 250-pounder from Mesa, Ariz., led his Mountain View High School team to a pair of state championships in 2005 and '06. He was named the Arizona Player of the Year as a sophomore in 2005. In 2005-06, Kamp missed much of the early part of the year with a foot injury, but still recovered to lead his team to a 25-3 mark and another state title. In addition to repeating as the Region Player of the Year, he was a first-team all-state selection. Due to limited minutes during his first games back from injury, he averaged 10 ppg, 6 rpg and 3 apg during the campaign. Amoke, who stands 6-7, 205, hails from Oxnard High School in Oxnard, Calif. Rated the No. 91 national recruit by Hoop Scoop and the 22nd-best forward by Scout.com, he was voted MVP of the Pacific View League and the Ventura County Star Player of the Year as a junior in 2005-06. Amoke averaged 19.8 ppg, 11.5 rpg, 3.5 bpg and 3.6 spg, helping Oxnard HS to a 23-7 record. During his sophomore year, the athletic wing contributed 17.7 ppg and 12 rpg.

Not much time, so had a quick blast with the fixed. Cold wind blew from the southern approaches, on a short one, that doesn't really figure.

3 Important Documents Every Unmarried Adult Should Consider Having
No one likes to think about being in a situation where you're unable to make medical decisions on your own behalf, or as a parent, being unable to help your adult child in the event of an emergency. When the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA for short) was enacted in 1996, rules were established about who can have access to your medical information. From a privacy standpoint, there are many positive aspects to the rule, however one thing many parents of adult children and single people over 18 might not know, is that HIPAA also can limit access to information in the event of an emergency when a single person may need help.
For a married couple, the spouse can act as a personal representative and make medical decisions on behalf of their spouse in the event of an accident or emergency. However for a single person over the age of 18, without legal documentation, your parent, trusted relative or friend may not be able to act as your personal representative in the event of an emergency. That's why it is important to document your wishes with a durable power of attorney for finances, a health care proxy and a HIPAA release form.
Your care on your terms
The fact of the matter is that in the eyes of the law, in most states you become fully independent when you reach the age of 18. At this point in time, you are also fully covered by HIPAA.
HIPAA is a series of laws that, among other regulations, establishes rules regarding who is permitted to view and discuss your health care information, including doctors, family members, friends or even someone with whom you are in a committed relationship.
This means if you were to become ill or involved in an accident that left you unresponsive, medical professionals may be unable to share critical information with those closest to you. What's more, the people you most trust may be unable to give directions to the medical staff over the phone or make any decisions impacting the scope or extent of the care you'd prefer. However, these issues can be mitigated through legal documentation, including:
- Durable Power of Attorney for Finances: A durable power of attorney for finances is a document that stays in effect in the event you become incapacitated. Simply put, it allows a person you've designated to act in your place and handle business on your behalf. This includes accessing financial accounts, paying bills, etc.
- Health Care Proxy: This type of document details your wishes for health care if you become too injured or ill to speak for yourself. It also lays out the scope and extent of care you would wish to receive, and authorizes exactly who can make medical decisions on your behalf.
- HIPAA Release Form: A HIPAA release form is a specific type of authorization that allows anyone you have designated to be given information about your medical condition.
Durable power of attorney for finance and health care proxy forms and requirements can vary by state. When establishing these documents, it's a good idea to consult with your attorney to better understand the laws in the state in which you reside, as well as those in the state(s) of any concerned parties you might name, if their residency differs from your own.
Another helpful bit of advice: Be sure to keep these documents in an accessible, secure location and make sure to give whomever you named as your designated representatives a copy of their respective authorizations.
Give yourself and your family peace of mind
Before your child goes off to college, it may be a good idea to sit down with your legal counsel to prepare these three documents. Then if your child ends up in the infirmary at their university or is traveling abroad and becomes sick or hurt, you will be in a position to get an update on your child's condition and be able to act on his/her behalf. Similarly, if you're single, you may wish to consult your legal counsel to grant appropriate authority for whom you'd want to receive an update from a hospital or doctor, or to speak on your behalf if it is needed in a medical emergency, or to assist with your financial matters.
