This paper presents an efficient design and implementation of a complex wavelet packet modulation (CWPM) multicarrier communication transceiver using an FPGA platform. A fast algorithm already proposed for high data rate WPM systems has been applied to CWPM systems for speed enhancement. The theoretical performance of the computation algorithm is analyzed. The design uses 16-point Fast Wavelet Packet Transform/Inverse Wavelet Packet Transform (FWPT/IFWPT) of the Haar family as the core processing module. All the proposed fast CWPM (FCWPM) system modules are designed and implemented using VHDL programming language. Software tools used in this work include Altera Quartus II 9.1 and ModelSim Altera 6.5b. A Cyclone III board is used for the implementation. The hardware simulation results show that the use of fast Haar wavelet packet transform algorithms to implement complex wavelet packet modulation systems significantly increases its speed as compared with direct implementations.
The main requirements of efficient steganographic systems are transparency, robustness and security. In this work, the proposed system is designed to achieve these requirements, as follows: to increase the transparency and robustness, the proposed system uses the transform domain technique, in this case the wavelet domain technique to embed the color secret image into the color cover image. To achieve high security, chaotic systems are used to accomplish the following two purposes: firstly to scramble the secret color image before hiding it into the color cover image, secondly to randomly select the embedding positions in the cover image. Three chaotic systems with many combinations are used for the scrambling and the embedding process. Experimental results including Mean Square Error (MSE), Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Correlation, Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and embedding capacity demonstrate that the proposed system has good performance as compared with other existing methods without attack and under different types of attacks such as filtering and noise attacks. Simulation results show that the combination of chaotic systems providing the best performance include the use of Logistic and Hénon maps for the embedding process and Arnold's cat map for the encryption process. The MSE, PSNR, correlation, SNR and embedding capacity obtained in this case reach up to 0.0010, 78.1dB, 0.9999, 67.2dB and 0.39% respectively when the secret image is Airplane with 32×32 pixels and the cover image is Girl with 512×512 pixels. For the extracted secret image, the chaotic system set that provides the best performance includes the use of Arnold's cat map for the encryption process. The MSE, PSNR, correlation and SNR obtained in this case reach up to 0.0846, 58.9dB, 1 and 56.1dB respectively. As compared with other methods, the proposed method achieves gains without any attack of 8.2dB for the stego image and 32.4dB for the extracted secret image in PSNR when the secret image is Airplane with 256×256 pixels and the cover image is Girl with 512×512 pixels.
The requirements of an efficient communication scheme for wireless sensing applications have been investigated. The noncoherent direct chaotic communication scheme called chaos on-off keying (COOK) has presented itself as a promising candidate. This paper proposes a modified version of the COOK scheme to improve its performance in noisy and fading environments. The proposed scheme is designed to increase the signal space of the decision variable by using the concept of differential correlation keeping implementation requirements simple. The results show that the proposed modified version of the COOK scheme achieves less bit-error probability in noisy and fading channels at moderate signal-to-noise ratio values and almost constant detection threshold as compared with the original version.
The paper presents the design of a baseband pi/4-DQPSK complex wavelet packet modulation CWPM transceiver and the results of its FPGA implementation. The design uses 8-point Discrete Wavelet Packet Transform (DWPT) and its inverse as core processing modules. All modules have been designed using VHDL programming language together with the Altera software tools Quartus II 9.1 and ModelSim 6.5b. The transceiver was implemented on a Cyclone III board.
Cost efficient energy monitoring in existing large buildings demands for autonomous indoor sensors with low power consumption, high performance in multipath fading channels and economic implementation. Good performance in multipath fading channels can be achieved with noncoherent chaotic modulation schemes such as chaos on-off keying (COOK) or differential chaos shift keying (DCSK). While COOK stands out in the area of power consumption, DCSK excels when it comes to its performance in noisy and multipath fading channels. This paper evaluates a combination of both schemes for autonomous indoor sensors. The simulation results show 50% less power consumption than DCSK and more than 3dB SNR gain in Rayleigh fading channels at BER=10-3 as compared to COOK, making it a promising candidate for low power transmission in autonomous wireless indoor sensors. We further present an enhanced version of this scheme showing another 1 dB SNR improvement, but at 25% less power consumption than DCSK.
Energy consumption awareness is an important first step to reduce carbon emissions. While real time fuel consumption indicators in motor vehicles are widespread, the instant energy consumption of buildings is typically unknown. This paper presents a multisensor system for energy consumption awareness in large, existing buildings that offers real time consumption values of all energy types at low-costs and with little installation efforts. The system aims at educating, motivating and supporting the inhabitants to save energy and reduce their carbon footprint. Sensor data fusion is used to enhance measurement quality while keeping costs low.
Design and Analysis of an OFDM-Based Orthogonal Chaotic Vector Shift Keying Communication System (2018)
We propose a new non-coherent multicarrier spread-spectrum system that combines orthogonal chaotic vector shift keying (OCVSK) and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM). The system enhances OCVSK by sending multiple groups of information sequences with the same orthogonal chaotic vector reference sequences over the selected subcarriers. Each group carries M information bits and is separated from other groups by orthogonal chaotic reference signals. We derive the information rate enhancement (IRE) and the energy saving enhancement (ESE) factors as well as the bit error rate theory of OFDM-OCVSK under additive white Gaussian noise and multipath Rayleigh fading channels and compare the results with conventional OCVSK systems. For large group numbers, the results show that the IRE and ESE factors approachM×100% andM/(M+1)×100%, respectively, and thus outperform OCVSK systems. The complexity analysis of the proposed scheme as compared with OFDM-DCSK shows a significant reduction in the number of complex multiplications required.
This paper presents the design procedure and implementation results of an amplitude modulation (AM) double sideband – Large carrier (DSB-LC) receiver using an Altera FPGA EP3C120 development board. The design is first implemented in MATLAB/Simulink(TM) using also embedded MATLAB(TM) blocks. It is then automatically converted to VHDL level with the Simulink HDL coder. The VHDL code is then synthesized and fitted with QuartusII ®; software and downloaded to the Altera CycloneIII EP3C120 FPGA development board. The results show that this approach makes it is easy for students to understand and develop the reception of AM signals using programmable logic tools. It also presents an efficient design flow for realizing design modules using MATLAB.

The migrant invasion now convulsing Europe is forcing Nordic nations to turn on each other as they struggle to stem a human tide that shows no sign of slowing.
Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg said in Copenhagen on Saturday said she feared for Europe's unity and urged neighbouring countries to shore up their frontiers in the face of the crisis.
Solberg pointed out that the Schengen zone of countries that guarantee borderlesss travel were most at threat and that divisions on how to best stem the flow were tearing at the fabric of European unity.
"The challenge for the Nordic region is not an internal one, but the fact that Schengen's outer borders have broken down," Solberg warned.
"We must now make sure that the outer borders work," she added as Europe struggles to cope with its worst refugee crisis since World War II.
Schengen, which permits citizens of 26 states including non-EU member Norway to travel without passport formalities, is creaking under the strain of an unending flood of new arrivals with Germany, Austria and Slovakia reimposing border checks.
The flow is in defiance of the Dublin Regulation which identifies the Member State responsible for the examination of an asylum claim in the EU.
The regulation is intended to avoid asylum seekers travelling from one country to another or being able to abuse the system by the submission of several applications. The country in which the migrant first applies for asylum is responsible for either accepting or rejecting the claim and the seeker may not restart the process in another jurisdiction.
Germany's actions guaranteeing Syrians immediate settlement encouraged migrants to cross Europe after landing in Italy and Greece before initiating asylum applications.
As Breitbart London has reported, Hungary has erected fences along its borders with Serbia as a result with promises to use military force to stop the country being used as a migrant freeway for people moving from their Mediterranean entry points to Germany and beyond.
Solberg, whose Conservative Party is in a ruling coalition with the anti-immigration Progress Party, echoed concerns over Schengen expressed by French President Francois Hollande on Thursday.
Speaking to AFP, Hollande said Schengen was "in danger" due to the absence of registration centres to distinguish between refugees and economic migrants as EU states seek to share out some 120,000 asylum seekers, most fleeing the war in Syria but now including economic migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, Pakistan and Afghanistan amongst their number.
According to The Local, Solberg was commenting after a joint meeting with colleagues from fellow Nordic states hosted by Denmark.
Norway controls an external EU frontier with Russia, a border which has been crossed by more than 250 Syrian refugees so far this year.
Sweden's Social Democratic Prime Minister Stefan Löfven said "all those who have the right to asylum should be given it. Those who do not have the right should be sent back."
And Danish counterpart Lars Løkke Rasmussen agreed, saying: "Those who do not need protection should be sent back as quickly as possible."
The crisis has sparked increasing disagreement between the Nordic states with Stockholm criticising Copenhagen for waving through some migrants to Sweden to make asylum claims.
Finland then criticised Sweden for doing the same in allowing a group of mainly Iraqi migrants to cross the border to make their own claims.

What do real estate and chili have in common?
For starters, plenty of different flavors, and opinions to match. One home, like one type of chili, might make a certain buyer swoon and have another running for the hills.
Then there's the wide range of ingredients. One real estate professional's secret sauce might be his encyclopedic knowledge of family-friendly hot spots, while another's could be her deep affinity for local sports teams.
But when it comes to Pacific Union International and chili, it's even simpler: Our primary shared value is excellence – for three years running.
For the third year in a row, our team scored a top prize in the Napa Chili Cook-Off. Chef David Bridges (pictured, right), a real estate professional in Pacific Union's Napa office, nabbed the People's Choice award with his sizzling concoction known as The Real Deal. (Want his secrets? Download his chili recipe here.)
The prize follows two straight years of finishing as the top Judge's Award and cements Pacific Union's dominance in the annual contest, which is a benefit for the Napa Food Bank.
"We couldn't be prouder to have David's incredible recipe recognized as the crowd favorite this year," said Linda Carroll, the branch executive in charge of Pacific Union's Napa region. "It's been great to finish at the head of the class for three years now, and even better to know it's all for a wonderful local cause."
Similarly, our company has also enjoyed a stellar three years of success. Officially founded in August 2009 when Marin-based Morgan Lane bought GMAC-owned Pacific Union, Pacific Union International has grown in a challenging real estate climate that's caused other companies to struggle. Some of our achievements:
- Expanded from 17 offices to our current count of 22, including service to a brand-new region, South Lake Tahoe/Truckee
- Joined forces with Christie's International Real Estate to expand our marketing footprint worldwide
- Launched three joint ventures – Mortgage Services Professionals, ProInsurance, and Pacific Union Property Management – to support our clients' needs beyond the real estate transaction
- Have seen several of our real estate professionals honored as some of the top 200 agents and teams in the country
- Named one of the nation's top "Power Brokers" in 2012 and ranked 23rd in the United States in total sales volume
- Ranked fifth among all U.S. residential brokerage firms in 2012 as measured by the productivity of our real estate professionals
We're proud of all we've achieved over the past three years. And like good chili, we plan to continue getting better with time.

text: Matt helped my husband and I move to Maine from Massachusetts. I had been offered a job and we needed to move quickly; I have family in Maine so we knew where we wanted to live and had given a lot of thought to what we were looking for in our first home. Matt, and his assistant agent Carrie Davila, found us houses that met our needs almost immediately. Carrie was extremely available throughout the entire process and knew so much about the area we were looking in and what locations would best fit our desires. Because we were looking for a home from another state they were very flexible in meeting our time constraints, our limited time in Maine and making all of the paperwork accessible to be signed online. They were able to find us our home after only 4 weeks of looking. Matt was extremely responsive in negotiating the terms of the purchase and we closed in just 5 weeks! My husband and I were both very impressed with the efficiency, responsiveness and knowledge that Matt and Carrie brought to our first home buying experience.— Aashley Malsbury

At this year's China-ASEAN meetings, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang called for integration in the region. But the highlight of the summit is an agreement on a Code of Conduct plan in the South China Sea. CGTN's Barnaby Lo has details.
It was a hectic two days for world leaders attending the ASEAN and East Asia summits in Manila—including Chinese Premier Li Keqiang.
But it has also been a fruitful one, in particular for China and ASEAN, as well as with other countries participating in the summits here in Manila. There was a lot of talk on trade and economic cooperation, both on Monday's ASEAN plus one meeting, and on Tuesday's ASEAN plus three meeting.
"We are still seeing a mixed picture of world economic recovery," Premier Li said. "De-globalization and protectionism are on the rise. Cross-border regional issues are emerging and these have presented challenges for us. I hope that through this summit, we can build consensus and send a positive signal that we firmly support regional integration and advance East Asia Economic Community."
Moon Jae-In, President of the Republic of Korea (ROK), put forward a similar message in his remarks.
"In 1999, we utilized the power of solidarity and overcame the financial crisis. Let us create a vision for the East Asian community of peace, prosperity, and progress," he said.
"Let us overcome the complex challenges, including protectionist and self-centered approaches, aging, and climate change."
Premier Li also touched on the progress made on the South China Sea territorial issue, saying negotiations on the text of the Code of Conduct can now move forward after an agreement between China and ASEAN on a framework. He reiterated China's commitment to resolve the disputes peacefully with parties directly involved.
Li's activities in Manila will continue beyond the conclusion of the Manila meetings, and he is scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday.

AirAsia CEO criticises Mavcom
Related Articles
AirAsia CEO Riad Asmat has publicly criticised the Malaysian Aviation Commission (Mavcom), blaming it for holding back Malaysia's airline industry with slow approvals and high charges.
Asmat said in a statement: "It [Mavcom] is holding the industry back with slow approvals and high charges while other countries invest heavily in increased air traffic connectivity, to the detriment of the Malaysian tourism sector and the economy."
He added that AirAsia had seen a 3% decline in tourist arrivals to 25.95 million in 2017 and that Mavcom's rejection of route applications would only further compound the issue.
Mavcom has defended its decision to reject AirAsia's application to add more flights on two routes, Kota Kinabalu-Sandakan and Kuala Lumpur-Haikou, on the basis of route overcapacity.

Used to love spotify, but I'm kind of hating it at the moment. Been paying for premium and noticed I could no longer create radio station on my Iphone.. So I was using my PC to make them, I wanted to make a new station today and see this feature is no longer avalible even on my desktop version. I get on your webpage to try and get some help and become buired in your**bleep**, people want simplicity, we dont want to spend hours looking through forums to fix something we didn't break... It was a tiping point for me, canceled my subscription, uninstall your app and going elsewhere.
Hey it's actually better to have a Spotify premium account because now you can skip through your radio. As far as not being able to create radio stations you actually need to follow them since they are already created. Simply go to the search bar and search your favourite artist, after a station album should pop up in which you can click on and follow and wha-la you have your own radio station.
Yeah, you can follow the new stations, but they are playlists now. We don't get to customize our listening experience any longer.

K-12 Education
Knowledge is power. The more knowledge and wisdom of each individual member of our society can attain empowers our communities and nation as a whole. Ignorance is suffering. Institutions of learning should share knowledge as far and wide as possible enriching our lives and society as a whole. Today, children may access the entire collection of human knowledge through simple smart devices. While free play and actually doing are the greatest learning tools, these must be balanced with access to technology to provide the fullest education experience possible for each child. There is no reason for anyone in our society to suffer from the hardships inflicted by ignorance any longer. Smart devices can be used as an aid or a detriment to a child's education. The children must be taught the appropriate use of technology and appropriate boundaries.
Learning and education can be a source of joy and enlightenment through curiosity-driven education. Curiosity-driven education allows the children to pursue their own expanding interests at their own pace and through their own insatiable appetite for knowledge. As the child pursues their own interests they naturally pursue skills and knowledge to accomplish their desires. Our children have educational advantages and opportunities we never dreamed of.
The infinite resources of most homes today provide astounding resources through tech and well-funded libraries for parents and guardians who may wish to homeschool in order for them to reach the potential and needs of that particular child.
- A Child's education is first and foremost the protected right and responsibility of the Parent or Guardian.
- The individual states come in second to support or provide education through Community School Districts, community libraries and education outreach to children whose parents are unable to educate full time.
- The Federal Government may provide suggestion and additional resources for states unable to provide a full education to children.
- The children's private data must not be collected and shared with federal agencies. The current education model of massive data tracking of children and their families is an immediate threat to the core privacy rights of individuals and families.
- Technology resources can and should be used to reach all children. However, those technologies must not be used to track the children. Recording of Student Progress by parents or teachers must be minimal by hand, limited to the local and state level and never transferred electronically or via paper to federal agencies.
Sugata Mitra! A Hero in Education.
Natalie raised children that are outside the norms in education needs and enjoyed the opportunity to homeschool at times, use public school, and even dual enrollment when necessary. Just as Natalie's oldest child began formal education and at the birth of her youngest child, the family faced a terrible tragedy reminding parents to show love and support in education rather than inflicting education on children. This heart tearing event shaped every choice from that day forward. Natalie covenanted then not to punish her children into "successful" education. It was a steep learning curve for her especially with children with unique learning challenges, but in the end, she got it.
Denmarks Forest kindergartens!
Nat Knows: Children learn when they are loved, supported and respected and stop learning when they feel unloved, unsupported and disrespected. If you have a child that is "failing" you must love them and show them kindness and respect even as they fail. When children realize that they are loved, then they may choose, and only they choose to pursue their innate abilities. You cannot punish a child into "success". This is a very hard path, but it is worth it.
As a software developer, Natalie thought it would be fun to build a model of one of the Federal Department of Education database systems. Natalie found it massive invasive, and horrific. She stopped at 900+ tables (One table is equivalent to 1 spreadsheet). Any database system out there can and will be hacked. It is time to set serious boundaries and limits of what the States and Federal Government may access. Foreign and domestic adversaries can and will break through and access anything we build. Our children's lives and our lives are none of their business. Privacy is essential to all our freedoms.

We are now four weeks in to the Summer league of the Redditch Pool Season, with ten weeks to go of the group stages before the finals rounds. The Golden Girls have found our core team members, our regular girls who turn up each week for practise and matches, and we have a nice selection of additional players for when they are required. Our first four matches have helped us learn a lot. We may not be winning but we are improving already and can only get better, right?… The results of our first four matches were:
- Golden Girls vs Studley CC 11-0 to Studley CC
- Golden Girls vs Bronx Bullets 10-1 to Bronx Bullets
- Golden Girls vs Mostly Oasty 10-1 to Mostly Oasty
- Golden Girls vs Trades 11 -0 to Trades
As you can see we have only won two games out of 44, which may not be an impressive result, but what stands out more to us is how close some of these games have been. We have only had the following bad results in games:
- One player 7 balled
- One player potted the black mid-game
- 6 balls left on the table in 3 games
Our best games have seen us on par with our opponents, all our balls potted, the win coming down to being the first to get the black in the pocket…
- All balls potted – 5 games
- One ball left – 4 games
- two balls left – 3 games
Special mention needs to go out to our two star players to date, the girls who have won a game – HELEN and MANDI!
Both girls played really well and the wins have boosted they confidence greatly as neither thought they could play very well! Our most recent match (against Trades) was actually more difficult than we expected because we were all really struggling to play in the heat. Our cues were not sliding smoothly off our sticky, sweaty hands and we were all hot and flustered in general. This is not an excuse for a poor performance, just an observation of how we felt! Some of us even resorted to chalking our hands as well as the tips of our cues just to help them slide more easily – it didn't help nearly enough and we just ended up looking like we had smurf hands! lol I think if it is hot again for next weeks match I may bring some talcum powder for us to rub on our hands before we play!
Things I have noticed about our playing that are important for us to continue improving and hopefully winning more games are:
- We suck at breaking – to get a fair break four balls must hit the cushions on the break, we seem to not be able to manage this often enough and it really distracts and frustrates you when a foul break is the first thing that happens in your game.
- We play better when our opponents are stronger players – no offence to other teams, but while we still don't win our game playing is much better when our opponents are the strongest (premier league players) the only reason we don't win then is because we just don't get a chance to get back on the table if we come off because they are so good, but better players definitely help us to play better too!
- We don't play so well when we are too hot – as described above, lol
- Some of our players play better if they have had a few drinks, others should avoid alcohol while playing
- Sometimes we take the 'easy' shot (a ball over a pocket) when in fact it would be better to play a different shot and save the easy one for when we need it!
- The order in which we play is important, having watched the performance of my team mates over the past four weeks I have recognised that certain players do better if they play early and others are not so affected by 'when' it is their turn, this will help we plan the order of play for future games.
As result of noticing these things I am planning to arrange an additional practise session for our core group of players to focus on breaking and avoiding the 'easy shots'. I'm hoping I can round up one of the guys from our fellow home teams to help guide us in this session!
Many of the teams we have played have commented on how nice it is to have a girls team in the league, and everyone has been very nice, friendly and welcoming. We have received a lot of praise for how well we play and encouragement to keep going. All of this helps us to remain motivated despite the results and more importantly we are still having fun, which for us was the whole point of doing this.
Sure, winning would be great, but at the end of the day 'Girls just Wanna have Fun!' 😉 With a bit of luck and hard work we may have some better results to report when I update you again…

Join Kevin Kelly for an in-depth discussion in this video Assessing teaching effectiveness, part of Teaching with Technology.
- It doesn't matter if you teach in elementary, secondary, or higher education. There's an official evaluation process for you as the teacher. In K12, the process usually involves one or more observations by an evaluator. In higher ed, it's usually one end of term survey answered by the students. In several movies throughout this course, we've looked at the importance of promoting self assessment for student self awareness. Now it's your turn to consider self assessment to increase your own awareness of what works well, and what's not there yet. For K12 teachers, it might be interesting to learn what the students are feeling.
I've mentioned classroom assessment techniques before. One of those techniques is called the One-Minute Paper. The students' individual responses help them identify gaps in their own learning, but collectively they help you identify problem areas for multiple students. Ask students to list three things about a lecture or class activity, all in one minute: One, what was the clearest or most helpful? Two, what was the muddiest, least clear, or least helpful? And three, any comments or questions they have.
Normally you use paper or note cards for this activity. To streamline the process, why not use Twitter? Tell students they must include hashtags for: A, your class, and B, clearest, muddiest, or comment. For my face to face classes I used an online discussion forum for one minute threads when several international students asked for more time to think about what they did not understand from the class meeting. When you set up a forum for this, don't allow students to post their original threads or discussion topics.
Instead, require them to reply to three specific questions, which organizes the responses for you, the teacher. Let's say you want to use clickers or clicker apps to assess your teaching in the middle of a term. Consider a Plus-delta exercise as a midterm evaluation. First, draw two columns. The first column is Plus, representing positive, or what the students liked, and the second column is Delta, representing what students would change. Ask students to contribute their ideas verbally, or using two clicker short answer questions: what works, Plus, and what would you change, Delta.
After you collect five to ten items in each column on the board or projector, ask students to rate: A, how much each item in the plus column has influenced their success, and B, how much they feel changes in the delta column would help them succeed. You can prepare the clicker part of this activity in advance by creating Likert scale questions, plus 1 through plus 10 and delta 1 through delta 10. When you analyze the results, you'll be able to see strategies you need to emphasize, change, or start using.
If your students don't have clickers or mobile devices, you can use an online survey or quiz tool. I've described tools for making quizzes in another movie. If you use one of these tools, do what you can to allow students to submit feedback anonymously. However, some online tools exist just for this purpose. These two are free and easy to use. The student assessment of learning gains lets you collect learning-focused feedback from your students. The free assessment summary tool lets you develop anonymous questionnaires about your teaching.
You can make your own questions as well as use a database of over 350 questions related to teaching effectiveness. Want to know one of the biggest benefits to using informal teaching assessments? You get to make changes that help students before the term ends, while they're in your class. Before reviewing the next movie, take a minute to answer the following questions for yourself. How will you conduct self-assessments as informal checkpoints? For a lecture? For a class activity? And how will you use technology for a midterm evaluation?
Author Kevin Kelly explains how learning outcomes can be adapted to support technology in the classroom, and guides educators through selecting the appropriate technology for their activity, module, or class. Then he shows how to apply technology in three key areas: finding, creating, and sharing content with students; facilitating classroom activities; and assessing learning inside the classroom or online.
- Including technology in your learning outcomes
- Applying Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles
- Finding and creating content and instructional materials
- Enhancing lectures and presentations with technology
- Getting students involved
- Facilitating in-class activities
- Assessing learning
- Teaching effectively online

Starting Point Course
Everything has a starting point – your life, your relationships, your education, your career. Sometimes we forget that faith has a starting point as well. For some of us, our faith journeys began in childhood as a set of beliefs handed down to us from our parents or a church. Maybe you developed a framework of faith based on personal experience. Or maybe you had no faith at all. Too often, a faith formed in childhood isn't strong enough to withstand the pressures of adult life. But what if you found a new starting point for faith?

No matter how long or short a time you have been a Christian, or how far you are on the journey, you will find Freedom in Christ course a wonderfully refreshing spiritual check-up. It will help you clear away the spiritual cobwebs and connect with Jesus in a deeper way.

Social media is used by almost everyone now, from individuals capturing those magic moments and sharing them with friends to big businesses promoting their services. We take a look at the way that various forms of social media have evolved over the years and at the way different users and businesses have discovered them and adapted to them….
Those of a certain age will remember the rather elitist beginnings of Facebook, or "The Facebook" as it was originally known. It all began with Ivy League American colleges and soon made its way to Oxford and Cambridge. Since then it has become far more democratic, taken a turn for the universal and is in fact now a global phenomenon. Another interesting development since those early days is the way that Facebook's users have gone from just students and individuals to include businesses.
A typical, small, independent restaurant such as Dulwich Tandoori in South London is as likely to have a Facebook page these days as a website and many will have both. It makes complete sense as it offers all the facilities that a website does –opportunities to increase awareness of the establishment and a platform from which to promote new dishes—as well as providing the ability to make hundreds of connections.
Slightly higher up the business chain, larger B2C companies will not hesitate to use Facebook and Twitter to spread the word about their latest deals or products. An online casino such as InterCasino for example makes great use of these forms to go beyond the reach that it would have using more traditional methods or marketing.
It's not just classic marketing that's being done through these channels though-it's the more subtle art of content marketing. Partly this is comprised by what you might think of as advertorials for the digital world- pieces that are somewhere between an article and an advertisement. Partly though, content marketing is simply about companies creating an ongoing presence in the lives of their customers or potential customers. It's done by establishing rapport through Twitter, sending seasonal well-wishes to followers on Instagram and interacting with "friends" on Facebook.
A different side of this phenomenon can be seen in B2B companies using services such as LinkedIn to generate leads and Ernst and Young is a great example of this. It's a very different way of working that suits the different nature of these companies. LinkedIn has revolutionized the job market because as well as making everything far more open, with the ability to search for pretty much anyone and see their CV and employment history, it has created what is in effect a 24/7 networking event in which everyone is connected to everyone else.
As our software and applications keep on evolving, different businesses keep on finding new ways of utilizing the technology. From reaching hitherto untapped markets to streamlining the recruitment process, the business world has made great use of social media so far. As this nascent field continues to improve, we can only watch this exciting space to see where it will take the business world next.

WA Restaurants great for dietary requirements
Today more than ever, customers are on the look-out for restaurants that provide healthy yet delicious dining options – whether this means a meal that suits their dietary requirements, or a meal that is heavy on the veggies.
We asked Citibank Dining Restaurant Partner Nino Zoccali, from The Restaurant Pendolino, what he thought about the rise in healthy eating.
"With the move toward super food trends, people are really looking at their lifestyle and their health, and the way they eat is very important to them.
"We're definitely seeing customers requesting healthier food. In particular, we are seeing a lot of people coming in and requesting vegetarian menus. My wife is vegetarian, so that's had an influence on me and we try very hard to make sure there's an exciting option on the table that is also meat-free."
Whatever your requirements, we have put together our top healthy picks across Perth that look after vegetarians, vegans and those who are gluten-free, leaving you some extra wiggle room to indulge in your free bottle of wine when you dine.

There are 16 dishes to pick from the vegetarian menu, which boasts traditional Indian dishes like dhal basanti, aloo palak and malai kofta curry. Everything is cooked to order from the freshest and best produce and many dishes and breads are prepared in a real Tandoor, imparting a unique flavour and texture to the food.

I have question and need your help to check possibility of issue that we found. We use Manhattan 2013vr.
We found some load ID (after run wave) have cartons that if we sum cartons volume linked to that load ID will exceed max load volume. Example, outb_load.max_vol from that load ID is 8.4 cbm. But, if we sum all cartons that linked to that Load ID, total is 8.99 cbm. All the carton are same (carton pick INT 51 pick from case pick, carton type same for all).
From that Load ID, I already checked ship via, carrier, trailler type, trailler size, also trailler equipment. In trailler equipment, trlr_equip.max_vol is 8.4 cbm and trlr_equip.max_wt is 4366 kilos. Other configuration also on carrier to make sure trailler capacity priority uom set as 'Volume': carr_hdr.trlr_cap_uom = Volume.
Any other possibility that we need to check why this happen ?
Thank you

What Google Analytics Does Well
Users who gave Google Analytics a positive review said that the tool is a world leader when it comes to getting an overview of a website's performance. Others appreciate that it's free to use and that the information it provides allows marketers to create better strategies for their business' website, which leads to an increase in sales and conversions.
"Google Analytics is the global standard of choice when it comes to providing web owners a lens into the performance of a website. It helps us identify the number of visitors on our site, the path that people took to get there, the locations they came from and behavioral attributes such as time spent on the site, devices used, browsers used, etc. This is highly useful for a consulting company like ours because it gives us inputs on which content resonates the most with our customers and opportunities for content improvement."
—Neeraj Hirani
What Google Analytics Does Not Do Well
Users who gave Google Analytics a negative review commented that the tool can be a bit difficult to navigate, especially when you are not looking for something in particular. Several others suggest that users and marketers must be more specific about their goals for using Google Analytics in order to get better results.
"Google Analytics is overwhelming if you don't know what you're looking for. A skilled marketer will know how to make sense of the data collected by the analytics code. Otherwise, it's way too easy to fall into analysis paralysis and make faulty conclusions based on the data you're seeing."
—Hannah Szabo

A first-year student at Western University has died after being hit by an alleged drunk driver.
Police said Andrea Christidis, 18, was walking on the sidewalk on Lambton Drive near Talbot College at 11:35 p.m. when a car hopped the curb and struck her, according to the London Free Press.
Christidis was thrown nearly 10 meters, witnesses said. She was taken to hospital in critical condition. A hospital official confirmed she died on Saturday.
Jared DeJong, 24, was initially charged with dangerous driving causing bodily harm, impaired driving causing bodily harm and having more than 80 mg of alcohol in his blood while driving, according to the Free Press.
He was released on $1,500 bail, with a driving ban and an alcohol ban, after appearing in court on Thursday. He is due back in court Nov. 3, according to the Western Gazette, the campus newspaper.
A university statement issued Saturday said Christidis was a first-year health sciences student living in university residence. Western President Amit Chakma called Christidis' death a "terrible tragedy."
"I know that I speak for the entire Western community when I say that my heart goes out to her family and friends at this most difficult time," Chakma said in the statement.

Problem: Customer had a site that was migrated from MOSS 2007 to SP 2010, when they would try to 'request change' or 'reassign' a workflow, it would not set original task as complete and create another task as expected.
- tested other workflows within the site collection, this problem seemed to be specific to this list
- We found that the lists that had working workflows had a field called 'Status', whereas the one not working had a field called 'Task Status'
- Created new list and new approval workflow but that workflow had a field called 'Status' as expected so something was definitely not right with problem workflow. 'Task Status' is a field we see when a Project Tasks list is created which a SharePoint workflow does not like as its Task list because of the 'Task Status' field
- Found this great link on the subject: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointgeneralprevious/thread/cb3ac6b2-e610-4673-b8b5-1020bd25043b
Resolution: Since this problem only existed on this one specific list and I could not reproduce, I figured something is corrupted on this specific list. Just like the social.technet.microsoft.com link above states, I verified that a similar case was resolved by deactivating and activating the following features:
We ran the following stsadm commands on the site collection in the given order to reprovision the task content type.
stsadm -o deactivatefeature -filename "Fields\feature.xml" -force -url "http://Server/sites/siteCollection"
stsadm -o deactivatefeature -filename "CTypes\feature.xml" -force -url "http://Server/sites/siteCollection"
stsadm -o activatefeature -filename "CTypes\feature.xml" -force -url "http://Server/sites/siteCollection"
stsadm -o activatefeature -filename "Fields\feature.xml" -force -url "http://Server/sites/siteCollection"
Then we created a new task list and voila…it had the Status field as expected.

09 Oct Exemption Planning, Part 1: Selling an Asset Before Bankruptcy to Avoid Losing It
If you're considering bankruptcy, you're no doubt concerned about avoiding the loss of money or property to your creditors. Fortunately, although rules vary from state to state, most consumer debtors won't lose any assets in a bankruptcy. This is because the exemptions (the laws protecting your property from loss to creditors) are liberal and usually will protect most, if not all, of your assets. However, if you own two homes, expensive vehicles, a large stock portfolio, or other valuable or unencumbered assets, you may be told by your lawyer that some of your assets cannot be claimed as exempt. In a bankruptcy, non-exempt assets are sold by the trustee to pay your creditors. Ouch!
But what if you could sell an asset you would otherwise lose, before you file the case, and use those cash proceeds to (1) obtain an asset that would be exempt, or (2) pay down a loan against an exempt asset? This is called "exemption planning." The question is whether it is still advisable to undertake exemption planning under the new Bankruptcy Reform Act.
Before the bankruptcy laws changed in 2005, exemption planning typically went like this:
- The debtor owns a home worth $200,000 with a $150,000 mortgage. This means she has equity of $50,000. Her state's home exemption is $100,000. Therefore, the home is protected.
- The debtor also owns a cabin worth $50,000 with no mortgage against it. There is no exemption to protect the cabin.
- The debtor sells the cabin for $50,000 before filing the bankruptcy, and she promptly pays the $50,000 to the mortgage on her home. She then files bankruptcy.
The debtor now has no cabin, but she does have an additional $50,000 equity in her home (the equity is now $100,000). Because her state has a $100,000 home exemption, she doesn't lose any equity in her home.
The exemption planning described above results in the debtor avoiding a net loss of property value. Exemption planning was commonly and extensively used regarding all sorts of assets, usually involving non-exempt cars, boats, stock, large bank accounts, or liquid cash-type assets, all of which were turned into cash to pay down, typically, the home mortgage. This exemption planning was normally accepted by bankruptcy courts as a matter of course.
However, the 2005 Bankruptcy Reform Act contained new rules which cast a pall over exemption planning. In fact, it's fair to say that new Sections of the Bankruptcy Code Sections 522(o), 522(p), and 522(q), have all but eliminated the practice, when it involves more than a few thousand dollars. Some bankruptcy lawyers even tell clients that exemption planning simply is no longer allowed. Indeed, the handful of court rulings interpreting Section 522(o) have disapproved the planning, with disastrous consequences to the debtors involved. The most knowledgeable lawyers will tell you that this area of law is unsettled, and that no one really knows if exemption planning can still be done with any degree of safety. As a result, exemption planning should only be considered by the most informed and motivated debtors, having access to an expert bankruptcy lawyer.
In Part 2 of this article, tomorrow, I'll talk about when, if ever, exemption planning might be considered.

The Conference Room Lighting Ideas
Conference room lighting ideas – Conference is where the company's staff, as well as visitors, will meet to discuss ideas, talk through problems and make big decisions. Conference really is an important part of today's office buildings, and they tend to be large rooms, which are regularly used to host groups of people. There are several areas to focus on when it comes to conference room design.
Since the conference room can be used for a general meeting for a minute and a depth presentation next, is a good design feature the introduction of conference room lighting ideas that can be dimmed as appropriate to allow for different moods. Floor lamps, intimate feel, while the presence of several table lamps, one within reach of every employee, gives participants a sense of control over the lighting.
12 Photos Gallery of: The Conference Room Lighting Ideas
Because of their small size and concentrated light output, LED lamps are ideal for use as a reading light. Keep small LED lamps next to your bed for reading at night, and get rid of the other lamps that use wasting incandescent bulbs. You can create more light using multiple LEDs and still can not use as much electricity as would be used by an incandescent bulb to create the same amount of conference room lighting ideas.

Got a Fever? NO PROBLEM!
Dear Friends,
For those of you who may be in the colder regions of the world, it is very easy to catch the flu or get a fever. But regardless of where in the world you live, it is still very possible to get a fever due to many factors:
(1) Lack of proper rest
(2) Elevated stress levels
(3) Food poisoning
I personally got a fever last week from staying up too late and waking up too early due to extreme work load. It weakens the immune system and leaves you vulnerable to various types of sicknesses. Here are some tips for cooling a fever if you do get one:
- Drink fruit juice, water, herbal tea, and/or other replenishing liquids
- Take a sponge bath with tepid water (about 70F or 21C)
- Get LOTS of rest (preferably stay in bed)
- Avoid strenuous activities
If you follow these tips closely, the fever should go away very quickly (in a day or less).
Until next time..
To good health and happiness,
