Last Sunday was week two of our sermon series "By the rivers of Babylon: how to live as a people in exile." We looked at Jeremiah 29:4-11, the contents of a letter Jeremiah sent to the Israelite exiles in Babylon. Oftentimes, the contents of this letter are read out of context to have a hopeful spirit to them. What we don't think about is that God is telling the readers of the letter to settle down in Babylon because they will die in exile. With this sermon, I had to write out the entire transcript because I'm turning it in as my ordination sermon. So the podcast is here and the transcript is below.
So how many of you have moved around a lot? I have lived eight different places since I was a kid. How many of you have lived in more than that? This section of Jeremiah 29 is written to people who were in a place where they didn't have roots. And Jeremiah is telling them to put their roots down.
One of the things that I hate about moving is that I'm a gardener, and so when I saw in the passage this instruction to plant gardens and eat food from them, it really caught my eye. We used to live in Durham where we had a much larger area to work with for our garden than people have in Fairfax County where things are really packed together.
How many of you garden? Gardening is more than just putting plants in the ground. You do a lot with the soil. You till it. You add compost to it. You really give shape to a piece of earth that you want to be able to use for a long period of time. So it was bittersweet when I realized I was going to have to move away from Durham. That spring, I planted all my plants in pots so that I can transplant them in Northern Virginia. We had to get a U-Haul because the moving company would not guarantee that my plants would survive the trip.
When I read this and it's talking about planting gardens, what that makes me think of is being in a place where you can really lay your roots down, a place where you can really stay a long time, and get to know the soil and the earth of where you're living. How many of you are happy where you live right now and would never want to move again? How many of you would like to be in a place to settle down but not where you are right now?
It's interesting reading this because it seems like really positive language. It's talking about having families, getting married, having kids, eating the fruit from your garden, seeking the prosperity of the city where you live. It's easy to forget that the people whom this letter is addressing are very far from home. For them to be in Babylon having been conquered by the Babylonians would essentially be the equivalent of Iran conquering the United States and us being forced to live in Tehran for the rest of our lives.
Just imagine that. Having to live in a place where you don't know the language and you're living with people who have just conquered you. The people who are reading this letter have had loved ones and friends who were killed in battle by the Babylonians. And God is telling them, "Seek the welfare of the city to which I have sent you. Pray for these people who have conquered you, who have killed your friends and loved ones. Now I want you to build a society with them. Maybe you can run for city council in Babylon and you should support the schoolboard. You should join the PTA of this people whose language you don't know, a people who have conquered you and killed people that you care about."
Remember last week we were reading Psalm 137 where it said, "If only someone would dash the heads of their little ones against the rocks," talking about the Babylonians. This was the kind of rage the Israelites were feeling because of what had been done to them. And now God is saying seek their prosperity, seek their welfare, pray for them.
And this verse Jeremiah 29:11 — how many of you are familiar with that verse? "I know the plans I have for you…" — it's a verse that we use a lot of times as a source of comfort. Within the context in which it's written, it's not all that comforting, because what God says right before it is: "All of these prophets who claim that you're going home soon and that you don't have to put your roots down — they're lying. You are going to stay in Babylon for 70 years."
So in other words, anyone who was reading that letter, what would they be by the time that their people left Babylon? Dead. The plans that God has are for Israel as a whole people, not just for the people reading the letter. He has plans for the people reading the letter. They have to do what they need to do to survive as a people so that their grandchildren can still be a people when God sends them back to Israel. So they're having to give up a dream and settle for something less than what they had hoped for the sake of God's plan, because God's plan was bigger than them as individual people.
That plan was bigger than even what their grandchildren would experience coming back to Jerusalem 70 years later. The exile was part of how the Jewish people were spread out into a diaspora throughout the ancient world. And it was because of this diaspora, because Jewish people were in Babylon, Egypt — Alexandria in particular, in what is now modern-day Turkey, in Greece, in areas throughout the Mediterranean. It was because they were spread out, because they lost that one geographic space in which they had always been that Christianity was able to spread through Paul's missionary activity.
If there hadn't been a diaspora, if they hadn't spread out, if there hadn't been an exile, then none of the things which God put in place later would have happened. We're talking in our Bible study that meets right before this worship service about 1 Corinthians. When the apostle Paul went to Corinth, the reason that he had a foot in the door in that community was because there was a local synagogue there, there was a Jewish community there. And wherever Paul went, when he was doing his missionary activity, sharing the gospel with people, he always went to the synagogue first. Paul didn't just go out in the street and start proclaiming Jesus to people who had no context; he talked about Jesus to people who were first of all familiar with the God of Israel.
And so this exile is part of a plan that God has for His people as a whole over a very long period of time. And what it required was that the Israelites who went into exile had to be willing to do the things that they needed to do, that were right in front of them, in order to contribute to a plan that they couldn't see. They couldn't see the final results; they didn't know exactly what was going to happen and the way that everything fit together. They just knew that they weren't going back to Jerusalem and that they were going to have to live in a country where they didn't know the language, and they were going to have to make the best of it.
When I think about how this connects to our lives today, I think about the way that when I was in my twenties, I thought that I was going to save the world and do something significant and important and special. And I think one of the problems with our culture right now is that we have a lot of forces that are causing people who grow up nowadays to think that everyone is supposed to be important and special. We have this celebrity culture where what happens inside the screen, or the various different screens that we look at, is the reality that counts. And so we have to find a way to get inside the screen and to be the important person who's shaping our culture, shaping what's relevant and what matters within our world.
And so a lot of times when we think about something like how to seek the welfare of the city or country where we live, we think that's something that the people who get on TV can do because they have power, because they're able to make decisions that impact everybody. And when we look at things in that way, then our only way of participating is essentially to be a cheerleader for one ideology or another, for one politician or another, and to basically get into arguments with other people about which idea is better. And I would say that that's our form of exile.
We have been exiled from authentic reality, from flesh and blood living in the physical presence of other people. And I don't know if this applies to everyone in this room. I'm kind of talking about myself being in this generation of facebook and the social media world where you've got a bunch of people sitting on a train and we're all looking at our phones and communicating with people who aren't in our physical space. So we have "friends" all over the country on facebook, but we're not participating in the lives of the people around us.How many of you know the names of your neighbors? I don't. I know a few, maybe three or four. But when I was growing up, we knew everybody and we were always playing football in the street and really connecting with the people around us. And it wasn't anything that we thought of or anything that we had to do intentionally. I'm ashamed to admit that when we moved here in 2010, we decided that were going to have an open house and we were going to invite our neighbors over to get to know them. Well, now it's 2013 and we're still hoping to do that one day.
So it just really occurred to me, in thinking about how we seek the welfare of the city to which we've been sent, how essential and important it is to be personal. And what I mean by that is to interact with other people in such a way that they're not just interchangeable, anonymous stick figures in the background of our lives. To treat them personally. Because what I really think is that in our society one of the greatest poverties is the loneliness that many people experience in this world where we share personal information publicly on facebook pages but we don't pick up our telephones when they ring. And again, I might be talking to my generation and not everybody in this room.
So I was thinking about this, because I was trying to think of an example of how to seek the welfare of the city to which you've been sent. And I do think it's very important by the way for us to be aware and to be participating in dealing with the fact that we have a lot of people in Fairfax County who are suffering from very real physical needs, very real material poverty. And there are a number of ministries that we're engaged in as a church. And I do think that we should also be involved in examining what decisions need to be made on local, state, and national levels to address the material problems.
But we cannot neglect the need to be personal, the need to welcome strangers. And the place where I saw this illustrated, and I was really convicted by it, was at my kids' soccer game. I'm sitting there and I've got my phone, having a text conversation with a friend, and Cheryl, my wife, is talking to another mom. Now some of the four year olds on our team must have parents who get their kids personal trainers when they're two, because they just run down the field and kick goals and it just happens like clockwork. Well, we have a son who likes to do his own thing and we tend to connect with the other parents of kids who don't do that, who like to sit in the grass and look for flowers while the game is going on.
So this particular mom had a son who's like this, who just does his own thing. And it can be kind of stressful for you as a parent. You don't want to admit that you're competing with the other parents and you're worried about whether they're judging you because your kid isn't kicking goals like clockwork, but it does get into our heads. So I was just watching Cheryl talking to this other mom who was kind of getting stressed out because her son was going up to her and needing a lot of support and affection in the middle of a game when he was supposed to be on the field. And Cheryl was present; she was personal with this other woman who was sitting next to her.
Just think of all the places where we sit next to people who we are not personal with, all the times when we're on a train or on an elevator. An elevator is the classic example. You get in and say okay tell you what I'm going to look at the ceiling, you look at the floor, it's okay with me if it's okay with you. But we really could be personal in that space. We could live as people who are part of a plan that's bigger than us. Because that plan that God had that He told the Israelites about, it applies to us too.
And I don't think there's anything wrong with looking at that verse and seeing it as a source of comfort when you're in a place where you don't know what your future's going to be, to hear God say to you, "I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future with hope." But the plan is bigger than us. And here's what the plan is. God chose Israel not because He only wanted to have a relationship with one tribe of people. God's greater plan was to make the world His family, to bring everyone, all of the Gentiles, all of the nations, into His family.
It's not self-evident that the creator of the universe should be family to us, that we should be welcomed into that kind of intimate space with God. But that's what He desires. He wants to treat us on a personal level, not to treat us as though we are just statistics, random cars on a beltway. But He has the capacity to see each of us in our unique beauty that He created us with. And the way that we can participate in that plan is not to do anything that's terribly special or important, but to treat other people personally, to engage in love in situations where we don't have to.
And this is actually something that happened to me on Tuesday. I got in a car accident last week. I was the middle car out of three so I was kind of responsible and yet not responsible. And actually the person who was responsible was a BMW who cut the first guy off and didn't get a scratch and got away and doesn't have to pay anything. But anyway, I took my car in and my insurance company didn't tell me that they hadn't worked things out with the other insurance company of the guy who hit me from behind, so I took my car in to take care of what I thought would be the whole overall damage. It turned out that it was only going to be the damage I was liable for in the front, and I would have to make a separate appointment to deal with the other damage in the book.
So it was a really frustrating situation. I had to drive over to Backlick Road. Some of you guys actually commute; I don't. I live five minutes from the church, so Backlick Road is forever away from here to me. It was kind of a long way, and I was mad because I was going to have do it twice in one week. I have Geico and the other guy had USAA. So I called the other guys' insurance company to do the thing where they tape-record your statement and so forth. And I got a woman named Tumeka.
And Tumeka, even though I was the other guy — I wasn't her client, there was no reward or incentive for her to take care of me — she was able to call the repair place and she basically ended their investigation into liability as of our phone conversation which never happens. She calls the repair place; she tells them to transfer that bill over to our account, we're going to pay for the rest of the repairs. I have a rental car. I thought I was going to have to bring it back and sign a piece of paper, and then drive it back. She took care of it over the phone. I wasn't her guy; I was the other guy; but she chose to treat me like a person.
See, that's the thing. You can be doing something as banal as customer service where you're talking to someone over the phone. And because of the way she treated me, it completely changed my attitude for the rest of the week. I wanted to find someone to help, someone to be nice to because of how she treated me. It's not a huge earth-shattering thing to help somebody out with their insurance problem, but when you engage in just the regular practices of life, the regular things that you're doing at your job, in a way that shares God's love and treats other people like people and not just as objects, then you're part of this plan by which God makes the world into His family.
It's nothing that earth-shattering or heroic that we're called to do. We're just called to treat other people with dignity, to remember that God loved us and to let that love flow through us to the people that we interact with. And it does mean that when you're sitting at your soccer game, you need to put the phone down and talk to somebody. I'm kind of an introvert so that's a little bit of a challenge. But there are just so many lonely people out there. And I think that's an essential way that often gets overlooked that we can seek the welfare of the city to which we've been sent.

App-V 4.6: Why is SFTLP.EXE crashing and why can't I troubleshoot it?
I have encountered an interesting issue where a series of applications that have been virtualized with App-V 4.6 will fail due to an operational error. Ironically it has nothing to do with any kind of limits within App-V or is even related to the virtualization model of App-V. It happens because a key component of App-V that allows for the processing of OSD information fails due to interference from third-party software.
Crash Followed by Error
The problem begins when the majority of the applications experience an error with the SFTLP process. SFTLP.EXE will crash with the following error:
SFTLP.EXE – Application Error
The instruction at "0x0000XXXX" referenced memory at "0x0000XXXX". The memory could not be "read."
NOTE: You will see a slightly different error if Windows Error Reporting (WER) has been turned on.
Since SFTLP is an integral part of building the application's virtual environment and it has crashed while in process, the launch will not complete leading to the following client launch error:
The Application Virtualization Client could not launch
An unexpected error occurred.
Report the following error code to your System Administrator. Error Code: xxxxxx-xxxxxx19-00001001
Further troubleshooting proved difficult as we were even unable to properly collect a user dump via WER (Windows Error Reporting) to determine why the SFTLP.EXE process was crashing. We tried attaching several debuggers to the AEDebug key and eventually was able to get further information on the crash. The reason WER was not very helpful was an inability to access the protected information within the bubble but we were at least able to know it was an access violation occurring. Other interesting elements also played a factor in the difficulty of troubleshooting:
- When the SFTLOG.TXT was set to verbose, the only thing that was revealed was that the SFTLP process encountered access violation exit code of 5 which we already knew.
- Use of the UnhandledExceptionLogger file SFTLDR.LOG also revealed nothing since this error occurred well before the primary executable of the virtual application was launched.
- Launching Procmon (Process Monitor) – either through the use of a command prompt or /externalcapture failed as the launch would start and immediately stop.
At this point, we determined we needed to look at something that was likely happening inside the operating system at the kernel level. Whenever something like this happens and I suspect that it may be third-party software with filter/kernel drivers, I will look at disabling unknown filter drivers. Bear in mind disabling non-Microsoft services and startup items using MSCONFIG will NOT disable third-party filters. You have to disable these filters by using Device Manager (I would advise this rather than directly editing the registry values when troubleshooting.) In Device Manager, you can help yourself identify these 3rd-party filter drivers by opening it up directly as an admin using devmgmt.msc or from the System Control Panel - and under "View" selecting "Show Hidden Devices." This could be a tedious process, but absent any other troubleshooting data, it may be your best bet for narrowing down the issue. You can disable the driver from this interface and reboot in order to reproduce the issue with the driver disengaged.
AUTORUNS – A Shortcut
I use Autoruns as a quick way of telling me which filter drivers are 3rd-party. The Drivers tab will list of the drivers and their publisher. It helps me to quickly isolate the non-Microsoft filter drivers. NOTE: If there is a driver WITHOUT a publisher, I would definitely start with those. You can download Autoruns here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902
In the issue above, we proceeded to disabled unknown filters in the Kernel until we came to one called "SysPlant for NT." This particular driver registered under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SysPlant. The specific driver build in question came from Symantec and was at version 12.1.1000.157. Sure enough, when we disengaged the driver and rebooted all was well. Further research revealed that it was tied to Symantec Endpoint Protection. Even after trying Service and Process Inclusions for the SysPlant driver and the SepMasterService, it still was not helping with the driver engaged. We found that as long as we installed Symantec Endpoint Protection without the Device and Application control feature, we were able to avoid this problem as well.

Rosemary plants (Rosemarinus officinalis) can be divided into two basic types: prostrate and erect. Creeping prostrate plants spread along the ground with a maximum height of 2 feet, unlike upright forms that can grow up to 6 feet tall. Grown in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 8 through 10, common prostrate cultivars include "Prostratus," "Lockwood de Forest" and "Renzels." Prostrate varieties do well as ground cover in rock gardens where they creep across rocks. Special care must be taken when transplanting to avoid damaging the foliage on the ground. Spring is the best time to transplant rosemary.
Late Winter
Prune back extra-long rosemary stems to make them a more manageable length for transplanting. Some prostrate varieties spread up to 8 feet wide, but rosemary takes well to hard pruning, so you can cut them to only about 2 feet long. Prune the rosemary in late winter before new growth begins.
Lift the branches off the ground and gather them in a bundle. Tie the branches with soft twine or fabric strips to hold them off the ground so you can dig.
Cut a 12- to 18-inch-diameter circle around the base of the prostrate rosemary, using a digging spade to dig to 8 to 12 inches deep. Cut a second circle about 4 inches out from the first circle and remove the soil between the two circles to make a 4-inch wide trench. This action severs the longer roots, signaling the plant to grow a dense network of short roots within the 12-to 18-inch circle before digging up and moving the plant in spring.
Remove the twine after digging to reduce strain on the branches.
Early Spring
Water the rosemary plant deeply on the night before digging up and moving it. This softens the soil, making it easier to dig, and ensures the rosemary is well hydrated to reduce transplant shock. Bundle and tie the branches off the ground so you can access the plant base.
Clear all vegetation and loosen the soil to a depth of about 12 inches in the new planting site. Rosemary needs a site in full-sun that receives six or more hours of direct sun daily. Rosemary tolerates poor soil and rocky soil, but you can add organic amendments, such as aged compost and manure, to build structure and add nutrients. Heavy clay soils benefit from the addition of 4 to 6 inches of organic matter, in addition to coarse sand to improve drainage.
Insert a round point shovel blade into the 4-inch trench around the rosemary plant. Push the blade under the plant and pull back on the handle to pry the roots. Reposition the shovel at different points around the rosemary and pry up the roots until you can remove the plant from the ground. Set the rosemary on a tarp or bag and wrap the roots with a damp towel until you get it planted.
Dig a hole in the new planting site that measures two to three times the diameter and the same depth as the transplant root ball. If the root ball measures 12 inches across and 8 inches deep, dig the hole 24 to 36 inches wide and 8 inches deep. Set the soil aside and mix in about 1 tablespoon of a slow-release, all-purpose fertilizer, such as 10-10-10.
Set the prostrate rosemary plant in the planting hole so the top of the root ball rests at the same level as the surrounding soil grade. Back-fill the hole and pack the soil gently with your hands to remove air pockets.
Spread a 3- to 4-inch layer of bark chip mulch over the soil around the plant, but do not push the mulch directly against the plant stems. Untie the twine and spread the branches evenly across the ground.
Water the soil around the plant until it is evenly moist. Water about once weekly for the first few months until the rosemary becomes established and begins to grow. Established plants are drought-tolerant and only require watering during long periods without rain.

The Transmission and Communication of Medical Knowledge and Services 1750-1900: The Medical Marketplace in the Modern Period*
Venice, 5-6 March 2010
Organised by Catherine Cox (University College Dublin) and
Hilary Marland (University of Warwick)
This two-day workshop aims to explore the medical marketplace in the
modern period, particularly the transmission, communication and exchange
of medical knowledge and services in regional, national and global
settings. The workshop will examine the transfer of techniques and
knowledge in connection with specific diseases, illnesses and crises, as
well as health care and regimen more broadly. The workshop aims to
consider the implications these processes have for our understanding of
the vibrancy of the medical marketplace in the modern period within and
across geographical borders and spaces. By transmission we refer to the
exchange of information by medical practitioners, male and female,
qualified and informal, as well as other agents, such tradesmen,
travellers and migrant groups. The workshop aims to explore
* expanding markets in health and medicine and responses to changing
communication, commercial opportunities and patient groups
* methods of transmitting knowledge, via local and global networks,
the printed word and advertisements
* the impact of migration and the movement of people in the
transmission of medical knowledge, including the movement of
individuals and groups within countries and overseas
* the adaptation and alteration of therapeutics and health practices
as they cross spaces and communication networks and encounter new
patient communities
* the implications these processes have on the development and
vibrancy of the medical marketplace in the modern period.
We have a limited number of places available at this event and would
like to encourage offers of papers that speak closely to the above
themes. Please submit a title and a one page abstract by 30 June 09.
The workshop will be held at the University of Warwick's conference
location in Venice, the Palazzo Pesaro Papafava. Local expenses for
accommodation and meals will be covered by the organisers, but we ask
participants, where possible, to cover the costs of their travel to
Venice drawing on their own institutional resources.
Please submit abstracts to Catherine Cox <[email protected]> and
Hilary Marland <[email protected]>, and
feel free to contact either of us for further information.

The effect of hand hygiene on illness rate among students in university residence halls.
Read the article
Results: The overall increase in hand-hygiene behavior and reduction in symptoms, illness rates, and absenteeism between the product group and control group was statistically significant. Reductions in upper respiratory-illness symptoms ranged from 14.8% to 39.9%. Total improvement in illness rate was 20%. The product group had 43% less missed school/work days.
Conclusion: Hand-hygiene practices were improved with increased frequency of handwashing through increasing awareness of the importance of hand hygiene, and the use of alcohol gel hand sanitizer in university dormitories. This resulted in fewer upper respiratory-illness symptoms, lower illness rates, and lower absenteeism.

Efficacy evaluation of four hand cleansing regimens for food handlers.
Abstract: This study examined the ability of four handwashing regimens to reduce transient microorganisms on the skin of hands. The efficacy of these regimens was determined using a modified Healthcare Personnel Handwash procedure and Escherichia coli as the transient marker organism. The regimens consisted of a non-antimicrobial hand cleanser, an alcohol gel hand sanitizer, an antibacterial soap and an antibacterial soap plus application of an alcohol gel hand sanitizer.
Conclusion: The most effective configuration for antimicrobial control in the food industry clearly is the combination of the antimicrobial handwash followed by alcohol gel application. This configuration produced a high immediate reduction of transient microorganism, with potential for increased reductions with multiple applications of the antimicrobial hand soap over a period of days.

Handwashing and gloving for food protection: examination of the evidence.
Abstract: This paper presents a review on published literature (medical, microbiology, and food industry) related to all aspects of handwashing and gloving. This review demonstrates that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support the premise that the use of gloves on the hands of food-handling personnel prevents the transfer of pathogens to food and, consequently, to support the requirement for no-hand contact with ready-to-eat food.

The three talks presented here opened the two-day Green NGO and Environmental Journalist Forum in Hong Kong. These talks presented an overview of green NGO development in Hong Kong, Mainland China, and Taiwan and painted pictures of three diverse environmental movements. Since these movements developed independently in different political and social environments it is not surprising that there are marked variations in the character and scope of environmental NGO activities in each area. Drawing from these three talks and our work researching and setting up this forum in Hong Kong, we present this mini-essay as an attempt to pull together and compare some of the diverse development trends of environmental movements in Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
Contents include:
- Foreword
- Participant List and Agenda
- Table of Contents
- Editor Commentary: Development of Environmental NGOs in Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong
- The Emergence and Development of Environmental NGOs in Hong Kong
- The Growing Importance of Public Participation in China's Environmental Movement
- The Evolution of Taiwan's Environmental Movement

Technical Paper
A New Hardware-Assisted Inlet Port Development Process for Diesel Engines Using Doppler Global Velocimetry
As more virtual product development is integrated into the mass-production development process and overall development times are shortened, efficient intake-port design requires closer cooperation between design, simulation and test engineers. Doppler Global Velocimetry (DGV) has become an important link in the overall intake-port development process as it provides 3D-vector fields of flow velocity. Hence, it can be used to make direct comparisons with 3D-CFD-simulation results. The present paper describes the hardware-assisted inlet port development process for diesel engines, the cooperation among port design, 3D-CFD-simulation with the creation of alternative geometries and DGV flow-measurement of preferred variants with their capability of checking and improving simulation results.

Join Aaron F. Ross for an in-depth discussion in this video Loading materials, part of Learning VUE.
- This chapter is an exploration of materials in Vue. It's always a good idea to isolate the effects of materials from lighting and to accomplish that I've created a scene that has perfectly neutral white light. It's using a standard atmospheric model with no haze and no fog. Let's open that scene. Browse, go to exercise files scenes. 04_01_load_material.vue.
We get a warning message saying that the preference settings stored in this scene differ from the current user preferences. We previously set the gamma in our options to 2.2, however, in this scene the gamma is set to 1.0. And I want it that way in order to isolate the effects of materials from post render options, namely gamma. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, don't worry because we're going to cover this later in the chapter on rendering.
For now, we just want to click yes, but be aware that it says your user preferences will be restored when you close the scene. That may not actually be the case. In the current version of Vue that I'm using the user preferences are only restored when we exit out of Vue. For now, we'll just click yes and we get a scene loading up that has neutral white lighting with a gamma of one. We've got a terrain here and we can start to work with applying materials to it. Right now, it's got the default material on it and we can do a quick render of that just to see what it looks like.
And you can see that there's a procedural texture on that. Notice by the way, that I've completely hidden the camera control panel that used to be over here and the reason for that is we're going to be using some displacement materials and in the current version of Vue I'm having issues with displacement materials and the camera control center is not displaying them properly. We're going to be using the Quick Render option here in order to preview our materials. Additionally, we can compare the different renders.
Let's take a look at that. If we go into the Render menu and choose Browse Previous Render, we get a window called the Render Display window and down here is an area called the render stack. Every single time you click Quick Render in Vue a file is stored on your hard drive and eventually that will use up to 500 megabytes of space on your hard drive and you will need to come in here and click this trashcan and wipe all of that out in order to make additional quick renders.
And by the way, you can adjust the size of the render stack in your options. Okay, so we've got a render in here that just has the default material. In order to change the material what we'll do is select the object and go to Object Properties and the aspect tab and we see a preview of the current material. We can erase that material and replace it with a default neutral gray, right click on that material sample and choose Reset Material.
And now we have a flat gray material and we can do another rendering of that and you can see it has no texture on it. Now we can load material from the material library that ships with the content files. Right click and choose Load a Material. And we get the materials browser and as we saw earlier in the chapter on atmospheres there are many tabs here for different types of materials including basic materials and each one has multiple pages.
And the tabs may not all fit here on your screen. You may need to scroll through to get add more of them such as for example the cloud materials. For a terrain of course we want terrain materials. I'll go back and we've got here a tab for Landscapes and there are two sections here, Landscapes and Terrianscapes, and some of them as you can see have a sample sphere that's kind of bubbled outward and those are in fact displacement materials.
Let's try this one, RoughRocks, it's found under Terrainscapes on the first page here. Click on RoughRocks and we have a preview here, but we don't see the displacement effect nor do we see the actual procedural texture in the open GL view. I can deselect the object just to show you all we get to see is a very simplified version of the material with no displacement and in fact no diffuse texture and no bump mapping and nothing.
In order to see what that looks like, we actually have to do a Quick Render. And that'll take a moment because the displacement mapping is actually pushing the vertices of the object and creating this really cool effect of these rocks and it's not just pushing the vertices up to displace in a sort of ordinary way, it's pushing the vertices up and out in all directions so we get overhanging rocks and it's really quite amazing what we can do with just materials alone.
We can compare that with the previous renders by going back to the Render, Browse Previous Render and in our render stack we can select the different versions. Here was the default material. Here is, after we reset and we got the neutral gray and then here's the one that has the displacement material. Really cool. Alright, so that's how you apply materials to objects in Vue.
Author Aaron F. Ross covers sculpting and procedurally generating terrain, adding realistic lighting and atmospherics, and creating thousands or even millions of natural objects such as trees, rocks, and plants in an instant with EcoSystems. With VUE's powerful tools and Aaron's instruction, you'll have everything you need to start building landscapes, oceans, atmospheres, ecosystems, and other realistic digital worlds.

uman Weapon," a gripping and important documentary, examines the history of suicide bombing as a tool of warfare and comes to some unsettling conclusions. The premise of the movie, directed by Ilan Ziv, a New York-based Israeli filmmaker, is that this most intimate expression of political violence, like other forms of warfare, has systemically evolved as a technique. Initially applied to military and political targets, it has only in the last decade expanded to include the intentional slaughter of civilians.
The biggest (but my no means the only) incentive to self-destruct in the service of a cause is the promise of religious martyrdom, the movie suggests, and the film shows how easy it is to train impressionable teenage boys to turn themselves into human bombs by firing them up with images of glorious sacrifice. Before they die, many of the bombers videotape grandiose final messages that are shown on television to whip up militant fervor.
The forerunners of today's suicide bombers, according to the movie, were the thousands of Japanese kamikaze pilots who flew to their deaths during World War II, especially when Japan was losing the war. The film dates the birth of the latest round of suicide attacks to April 18, 1983, when an anonymous terrorist drove a truck packed with 2,000 pounds of explosives into the lobby of the American Embassy in Beirut, killing 63 people, 17 of them Americans. Six months later two suicide bombers killed more than 250 soldiers in coordinated attacks on the barracks of United States Marines and French paratroopers in Beirut.
During the Iran-Iraq war, in which more than a million people were killed, Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, sanctioned suicide, which is traditionally forbidden by Islamic law, as a legitimate and heroic enterprise so long as it was used as a weapon. Thousands of teenage warriors competed to clear minefields with their bodies and to march in waves directly into the fire of the better-equipped Iraqi army. Their eagerness to sacrifice their lives helped equalize the forces' uneven military balance.
The ayatollah promised future martyrs a heavenly afterlife of gardens, castles and beautiful angels. One former Iranian soldier describes his indoctrination (which involved viewing Arnold Schwarzenegger and karate movies) as "neutralizing the sensual instinct and instilling a warrior instinct."
But such self-destructive zealotry doesn't necessarily require a religious sanction. During the civil war in Sri Lanka, some 30 to 40 percent of the roughly 200 suicide missions of the Tamil separatists against the government were carried out by women indoctrinated in revenge by films depicting the enemy's atrocities against women.
Examining the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the movie cites as a turning point the 1994 Hebron massacre, when an American-born Israeli settler protesting the Oslo peace accords killed more than two dozen Islamic worshipers before being killed himself. The militant Palestinian group Hamas retaliated two months later in a raid that killed eight Israelis. Since then, the two sides have played increasingly deadly games of tit for tat.
Among the many thoughtful voices in the movie, which opens today at the Film Forum in New York, the most eloquent belongs to the American author and psychologist Robert J. Lifton, who has the film's opening and closing remarks. He worries that in the effort to end what he calls "apocalyptic violence," it is all too tempting to combat it in a way that resembles it.
Sharing the bill with "Human Weapon" is "My Terrorist," Yulie Cohen Gerstel's deeply personal reflection on the cycle of violence in the Middle East. Ms. Gerstel, a sixth generation Israeli who was injured during a 1978 attack on an El Al flight, seeks out Fahad Mihyi, one of the attackers, who had spent the last 22 years in an English prison. She initiates a correspondence in which he expresses contrition for his youthful deeds, and she considers supporting his release from prison.
Her impulse for reconciliation is contrasted with the unforgiving rage of the parents of a flight attendant (and colleague of Ms. Gerstel) who was killed in the same raid. But then the World Trade Center is attacked, and the tumultuous emotions it re-awakens in Ms. Gerstel prompt her to reconsider her offer. The movie's disparate voices coalesce here as an emotionally charged microcosm of the conflict and suggest how difficult it would be to sustain any peace, when all it takes is one vengeful dissenter to undermine the noblest of intentions.

Compact SUV's offer safety and convenience that appeal to many people. As gas prices increase we are all trying to save money at the pump and thus driving a car with just enough space for our lifestyle. We drove the 2016 Hyundai Tucson Limited for a week long vacation and found it offered a great mix of features for our family.
The 2016 Hyundai Tucson Limited is a compact SUV offering comfort, space and the right mix of features at an affordable price point.
U.S. News and World Report named the 2016 Hyundai Tucson the best compact SUV for the money, and we would agree. After driving the Tucson for the week, we really thought it would have been priced closer to $40,000 based on the features and driving experience.
In fact, the Hyundai Tucson Limited we drove was priced at $33,670. The vehicle came with numerous standard features including Downhill Brake Control and Hillside Assist Control, Tire Pressure Monitoring, Turn Signal Indicators on the side mirrors, 90 days of Sirius XM Radio, Leather Seating with heated front seats, and Dual Auto Temperature Control along with many other features.
The 1.6 liter 4 cylinder engine surprised us on our first drive. With 195 lb-ft torque, the low-end torque offered pep and the needed acceleration to merge onto highways, change lanes, and accelerate quickly at stop lights. We have driven plenty of cars where, try as we might, we just can't get off the block fast enough to feel safe in the fast paced traffic of Southern California.
The GPS and Infotainment interface are easy to navigate which is something we are very picky about as drivers. A rearview camera is also standard which offers two tracking lines to help you keep your center while also seeing how tight you are turning out of a parking spot or garage. The rear cross traffic alert is a feature I have come to appreciate dearly as a mother and was thrilled to see it came standard on the 2016 Hyundai Tucson Limited. There is no easier way to make sure you are backing up safely in school or store parking lots or even out of your garage.
The Tucson Limited did not have Adaptive Cruise Control, rear USB chargers, radio or temperature controls in the back which are entirely reasonable given the price point of the car.
The Ultimate Package was an added option in the Tucson Limited we drove; this package provides a fabulous panoramic sunroof, HID headlights, Lane Departure Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking with pedestrian detection, rear parking sensors, front and rear LED map lights, ventilated front seats and heated rear seats, and a 4.2 inch color LCD infotainment screen. While there are many features to love in this list, my favorite is that all of this adds just the right mix of safety and convenience for $2750 and customers are not forced to pay an aggregate price because the package includes a rear seat entertainment system.
The 2016 Hyundai Tucson Limited with the Ultimate Package and carpeted floor mats is priced at $33,670 and has an average fuel economy of 27 MPG. Visit Hyundai's website to build your Tucson and find local incentives.

Episode 70 - Rebekah Dahling and Melissa Sloter
Jul 18, 2019 • 144 minutes
I had a blast and learned so much during the recording of this episode. Melissa tells us why Uber sucks, we find out just how polite midwesterners really are, and how Rebekah nearly became a resident of Delaware. Yeah... Delaware. But the middle of episode 70 is where it's really at as Rebekah and Melissa take me to school on the importance of being an ally to women. We finish out the show talking generational labels, Area 51 memes, dick pics, and the shitty side of Alita Battle Angel. Ope!

France Vacations: A Vacation worth Having
France is perhaps the most travelled place in the world. Millions of visitors and dignitaries visit this prestigious country for a variety of reasons. Tourists will simply enjoy everything about the country because its offerings are for people of all ages. Better yet, France has been labeled by international travel agencies as one of the most picturesque, historic, and friendliest places to be. This is a great honor on which to be bestowed. A France tour can look like a lot of things. Because it is one of the largest European states there are places to go and things to do, regardless of how long you decide to stay. France accommodations are cost effective, all the while putting each tourist in a place that they want to be.
Some examples of a France tour are:
• Bike riding on the country side. There is nothing better than taking in some of the freshest air in the world while enjoying one of the most picturesque and detailed sceneries anywhere. Lush landscapes, world-class architecture, vineyards, and many other structures and monuments make a bike tour romantic (if you travel with that special guest) and awe inspiring.
• Museum tours in France. All the way from Paris to Normandy there are plenty of options for museums. Check out the famous L'ouvre in Paris or see a naval museum in the heart of Normandy (if you know your history, you know how big this is).
• Wine tours across France. France is synonymous with wine. Rightfully so. Wine is a popular import and export here but what is even more impressive is the fact that there are literally hundreds of wineries so regardless of where you decide to go, there is bound to be a winery there. For hundreds of years, France has perfected the art of wine making, perfectly seasoning the grapes and aging the final product for just the right amount of time.
For tourists, booking a vacation to France will require a lot of planning, but there are professional travel consultants who are ready and willing to help in any way. Every tourist has different interests and the items listed above are only a small handful of things that can be done while in France. It also borders closely to other European nations so you are essentially a hop and a skip away.
Booking early will allow tourists to further plan their vacation to France. It will be an experience that will never be forgotten.
Smartkathy has made it a career to travel. Having a home stateside is one thing, but travelling the globe is something different. His France tour was nothing short of fantastic and recommends staying close to what your interests are.

triOS Announces Launch Of New Insurance Specialist Program
January 23rd, 2017 / By triOS College
This program is designed to address the huge need for individuals to replace a retiring workforce in the insurance industry, with a sole focus on property and casualty insurance. Graduates of this program will be able to pursue positions at insurance brokers, who play a key role in the communication between the carriers that provide insurance and the public who require it.
"Companies need people who have the specific skills that belong to their industry," says Frank Gerencser, CEO of triOS Corporation. "The goal of this program is to give students all the insurance specific skills that they need, as well as the workplace expertise that will help them succeed."
To create this program, triOS looked to industry leaders ILScorp, the largest online insurance training provider for the P&C industry in Canada. Under Ken MacRae, President and CEO of ILScorp, triOS Corporation has licensed their curriculum to embed it within their programs, ensuring that students obtain the highest standard training possible.
"There is a growing need in the insurance brokerage industry for new talent" says Ken MacRae, President and CEO of ILS Learning Corporation. "We are excited to partner with triOS to provide the training necessary for individuals to meet their provincial licensing requirements which enables them to access these exciting insurance career opportunities."
This program includes a 2-month internship and preparation for the Registered Insurance Brokers of Ontario (RIBO) examination that will prepare graduates with the real-world experience they need for a career in the insurance industry.
Students interested in the new program are encouraged to contact triOS to schedule a free career training counselling session. International students who have previous education in insurance, and are looking to gain accreditation in Canada, are urged to contact the triOS Admissions Support Centre – International Department for more information on how to apply.About ILScorp
ILScorp began in 1991 as a professional education company focused on licensing and continuing education services for the Property and Casualty Insurance industry in Canada. This was a natural niche for ILScorp, as our founder and former President Steve Hawrishok authored The Fundamentals of Insurance course for Canada which issued as a Level 1 licensing course in most provinces in Canada.
Putting together the need for licensing and continuing education courses for insurance professionals, with the tremendous cost savings accrued by delivering those courses over the internet, led to the birth of ILScorp.com. Today ILScorp is the largest online insurance training provider for the P&C industry in Canada offering accredited (through Insurance Councils in each Province) online licensing as well as continuing education courses in all provinces of Canada. ILScorp works with many of the largest insurance companies and brokerages in Canada customizing insurance education programs and is recognized for the quality of its education offerings.

Four times the charm.
An Ormond Beach youth has received national recognition by being named Police Athletic League Male Youth of the Year by the national PAL association. It's a notable achievement, but also notable because Cameron Walden is the fourth Ormond Beach youth to receive the recognition.
Graduating seniors are eligible to apply for the award which is presented to those who actively participate in P.A.L. and exhibit outstanding citizenship, academic excellence and community volunteerism, according to information from the organization.
City Commissioner Rick Boehm has commented in the past that it is remarkable to have multiple national winners from Ormond Beach.
"It's a great tribute to the people who run PAL. as well as the kids," he said. "It's just fabulous as far as I'm concerned."
The other three national winners were Marissa Moss, 2011 (state winner 2010); Greg Berry 2008 (state 2007); Marcus Edwards, 2014 (state 2013). The state and national competitions are separate.
Eric Widness, of National PAL, said the cities of Waterbury, Connecticut, and Howell Township, New Jersey also have multiple national winners.
"There are 300 National PAL Chapters across the country (44 in Florida) and we get dozens of nominations forms," he wrote in an email. "Why Ormond, Waterbury and Howell have consistent winners is a credit to the kids, the PAL, the community and also the nominator."
Walden's involvement with PAL began at the age of 6 when he joined the basketball program. He has over 500 volunteer hours including holiday food drives for the homeless, golf tournament fundraisers; working with youth in the summer art program, Easter Seals Respite care, the Jewish Federations Backpack and school supply drive, National Night Out events and being a mentor and Big Brother to several kids at the South Ormond Neighborhood Center and various elementary schools.
He is graduating from Seabreeze High School with academic honors and plans to attend Lynn University in South Florida to pursue a career in pharmacology.
Belinda Legut, PAL recreation leader, said the past winners all had leadership qualities and had an interest in helping others.
"If somebody didn't fit in, Cameron would take them under his wing and make them feel part of the group," she said.
Walden, 18, said he saw young people "come out of their shell" while in PAL, and he learned social skills that he will use the rest of his life.
In his application, he listed his parents as his role models.
"My dad worked two jobs. He would work all day and then work nights at the Ormond Recreation Center," he said. "My mother worked hard too. They were the perfect role models."

DIY trademark registration
It may appear simple enough. You make an application for trademark registration using form TM3, which you can download or complete on-line. You are required to provide an illustration of the mark and indicate whether it is a series of marks. If it is a series of marks, then you are limited to six marks in the series. The goods and services you may apply for are divided into 45 classes. This is all set out under the Nice Classification. You just say what goods or services you want the mark to cover. In-fact only a very small percentage of trademark registration applications are challenged. It can cost you as little as £170 for the whole process without a lawyer. It makes sense to do it yourself, and then get a lawyer if the trademark is ever challenged. That simple, right? Well, not always.
Of-course it's pretty straightforward to register a trademark without a solicitor. But you are probably making an intellectual property lawyer who might be suing you later for passing off or trademark infringement very happy. You might also not be registering what you think you are registering.
The importance of understanding how trade mark registration can go wrong is illustrated by the very recent case of Cadbury UK Ltd v Comptroller General of Patents Designs and Trade Marks [2016] EWHC 796 (Ch)] (Cadbury Case). The case only illustrates the point of the importance of correctly deciding whether you apply for registration as a series of trade marks, or as an individual trade mark. There are in-fact several other very important considerations when applying for a trade mark.
The details
The case involved an appeal by Cadbury against a trade mark hearing officer's refusal of its request to delete a mark from an alleged series of trade marks (Trade Mark Rules 2008 r.28(5)).
The provisions for the series of marks option are set out Under s.41 Trade Marks Act 1994. In a nutshell Cadbury's mark description as consisting of: "the colour purple as shown on the form of application, applied to the whole visible surface, or being the predominant colour applied to the whole visible surface, of the packaging of the goods" was not upheld as a description of two marks or a series of marks. Cadbury had applied to delete the phrase "or being the predominant colour applied to the whole visible surface" on the basis of the series of marks. The implication being that the colour purple was of non-distinctive character and did not substantially affect the identity of the trade mark. As a result, Cadbury argued that the application was in-fact for two marks, and that the phrase should be deleted so that the application would reflect a single validly registered mark.
The hearing officer held: that as the trade mark was not applied for in the first instance as a series of marks the application could not be entertained: the Court of Appeal's decision in Societe des Produits Nestle SA v Cadbury UK Ltd [2013] EWCA Civ 1174, [2014] 1 All E.R. 1079 was referred to.
Additionally, the words sought to be deleted did not constitute a mark, there was no actual mark to be deleted and what was in-fact sought was an alteration of the initial application which was contrary to s.44 Trade Marks Act 1994 which prohibits alteration during the period of registration or on renewal.
Cadbury argued that in principle the hearing officer had erred by failing to grasp their argument that the application was a series of marks and not an individual mark.
The court dismissed Cadbury's appeal. It was held by the court that although the description of the mark could be read to mean that the colour purple was not the only colour but that that there were other colours consisting of the mark, this was not to say that there were therefore two alternative marks.
The single common factor that purple was the pre-dominant colour was insufficient to create a separate identity.
The lesson to be learnt from this judgment is that trade mark registration applications are not as straightforward as you might think. Once you have made an application it cannot later be altered. Having a clear long-term strategy is crucial to your brand and branding process. Getting competent specialist advice about registration is advisable even where it might seem that the process is straight-forward enough. By seeing a lawyer for your trademark registration application you might be avoiding losing more money, and ownership of your brand in the future.
To book a face to face consultation for intellectual property legal advice you should contact a specialist intellectual property lawyer (charge rates may apply and may vary).

We've had some questions about the registration requirements for workers and services that provide continuing care for young people over the age of 16 and under 26 years following the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act, Part 11 Continuing Care. We've considered the issue with the Care Inspectorate and decided not to change anything.
The Continuing Care legislation supports continuing care for young people beyond the age of 16 and into young adulthood and this may mean for some residential childcare services and workers they are not only caring for children and young people but also for young adults.
The agreed approach is that there will be no registration changes to either the services registered by the Care Inspectorate or the individual workers registered with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) in respect of residential services. So care homes for children and young people and school care accommodation services will continue to be registered with the Care Inspectorate as residential childcare services. Those working in these settings will also continue to be registered on the parts of the SSSC Register for childcare and residential school care so there won't be any changes to their registration.
Both the SSSC and the Care Inspectorate will expect services and staff providing care and support to young people under Continuing Care to have the skills and knowledge and the services to develop policies to reflect the specific needs of the group for which they are providing care and support.
This approach ensures that the appropriate degree of robust regulation is maintained without placing any extra requirement on workers or services, and supports the development of innovative services for young people to get the best support into their adult life.

Three things you detest: waiting. Waiting. WAITING! Yet, when it comes to your prayers, God seems to have you "on hold" – a lot! Is He simply reluctant? Does He withhold for no reason? Prayers often go unanswered for lack of preparing. You have a part to do. Here are four ways to ensure you don't wait in vain.
Make sure your requests are Biblical.
God knows what's best for you. Many prayers will never be answered because they go against God's will for our lives. How can you know if your prayers are in line with God's will?
Most Bibles have a Concordance so you can search topically. Look for examples or specific scripture passages that address your situation. If you can't find a principle, if there is no pattern to model after, ask a spiritually mature believer for help.
Having said that, just because you can find an example in the Bible, doesn't mean it IS God's will for "you". God made you and has a good plan for your life. He won't give you something that has potential to mess with His plan for you. Ask God for discernment.
God promises a resounding YES to all requests that are in His will for you. John 14:13.
Do your part
Waiting isn't passive, it's active. There are many things you must do for yourself. For example, maybe you are "waiting" for a job. God will not prepare your resume. He doesn't send out emails, make calls, or drop by perspective employers, on your behalf. The job search is your responsibility, not God's.
Personal development may be required. Are there some skill improvement, character development, experience, or network connections, required? God doesn't press a magic button and "poof" you're prepared. He will, however, give you the courage to take bold steps, when necessary.
Have you prayed? I don't mean a bullet prayer. The Bible reminds us to pray continuously, in many ways. Get down on your knees. Fast. Invite others to pray for you. Don't forget to thank God. Your present circumstances are His will for you at this time.
There is never a good time to be idle. If you've done your job, carry on with life. Take care of your family. Go to work – and do your job well. Share the gospel. Visit the sick. Feed the hungry. If God seems slow to answer, wait! But keep moving.
God promises to answer with a resounding YES when it's in His will for you, in His perfect timing. Habakkuk 2:3.
Check your motives
You may be waiting for the right thing for wrong reasons. Is your mind set on God's interests, or your own? Common for those in leadership is to ask God to elevate and give them favor, simply so that they may make their own name great. God won't share His glory with anyone.
Have you asked God to change your spouse, your boss, or your child? Is it because you care deeply for them and want to see them experience God's best? Or, are you tired of dealing with them? If it's the latter, you might be the one God is trying to change.
Your own hidden agenda may not be evident. Ask God to give you insight into your own heart. As a believer, your entire purpose is to bring God glory and to love the ones He has placed in front of you. Are your motives in line with God's agenda?
God promises to respond with a resounding YES when it's in His will for you, in His perfect time, with His pure motives. James 4:3.
Don't wait in vain. Wait Expectantly.
When you've done all you can do, be willing to wait as long as it takes. God often answers suddenly, in ways you could not anticipate. One thing you can be sure of, your waiting won't be in vain. God promises good things to those who wait!
