The element inside a headphone that converts an electrical signal into sound is known as a driver unit. You could picture it as a tiny loud speaker in your headphone.
A driver unit is made of a magnet, voice coils and a diaphragm. One would wonder how to measure a driver: by its radius, circumference or diameter? The diameter is the stated spec which is usually measured in millimeters. A driver unit's size is useful to gauge the capabilities of producing sound.
It may seem that the bigger the driver unit is, the louder the sound it's capable of producing. That's not true though, because for every headphone design, be it micro sized earphones or huge headphones, while the size of the driver unit varies, the loudest volume at which you would hear them, stays the same.
Why is it that the volume of headphones is not infinitely louder than that of earphones? The answer is, headphones are at a further distance away from your ear drums compared to that of earphones which practically hug your ear drums.
Bigger the driver unit, larger the speaker, and more powerful is the output. This doesn't necessarily mean better output. The quality of the driver unit is what makes a huge difference to the sound. The size of the driver unit for earphones falls in the range of 8mm to 15mm and 20mm to 50mm for headphones.
Earbud style earphones have bigger driver units as compared to canalphones because of their ability to house bigger units. Same is the case with headphones, an over-ear headphone will have bigger drivers as compared to on-ears. Learn more about headphone designs here.
The most common driver type used is the dynamic kind which use larger diaphragms. It is the most preferred as they do a better job at producing powerful bass and achieve the right amount of sound pressure without using a lot of power. However the concept of bigger driver unit - better bass doesn't apply to dynamic drivers.
These are very well suited for In Ear Monitors because they are quite small in size. But why would you want to have a small driver that displaces more air? Simply because you can have more of them! Most IEMs have anywhere between 1-4 balanced armature drivers per earpiece & Custom IEM's can have up to 20.
You will find planar magnets in high-end headphones. With this technology a diaphragm is sandwiched between magnets. A wire is made to go through the diaphragm in a serpentine pattern creating an electromagnetic field that can interact with the magnetic field creating sound waves. Audeze headphones are a remarkable example.
Most headphones use a moving-coil or dynamic driver. Electrostatic drivers are extremely expensive & uncommon. These headphones use a thin electrically charged diaphragm that are placed between two conductive plates or electrodes. A special amplifier is required to amplify the sound.
Hybrid Drivers are a relatively new technology which is a combination of dynamic and balanced armature drivers. This means audiophiles can enjoy a balance of both deep dynamic bass and bright treble. These earphones are easy on the eyes, but not so much on the pocket!

CODA Offers 10,000 Miles of Free Fuel in Marketing Stunt
People pondering an EV purchase in California have new reason to look at Coda, a tenacious startup based in the state.
"With gas prices this high in California, this is the perfect opportunity to spell out the extremely low operating costs electric vehicles have to consumers," Coda executive Thomas Hausch said.
Hardly a stranger to marketing stunts, the company's previous event asked what you would do if you never had to visit a gas station again? What would happen with all the space? Now, it's taking things a little farther by offering 10,000 miles of free fuel — through a $552 rebate if you buy a Coda EV in October.
Coda's self-titled EV takes a different approach to how electric cars are built. Rather than fitting an electric drivetrain into an already-existant platform, it built the propulsion system first and built the car around that.
That meant the company's engineers could use lithium iron phosphate batteries rather than the common lithium ion choice. The result? A robust system that outlasted EPA estimates during AutoGuide's tests.

On Saturday June 15, Denizens Brewing Company celebrated its third birthday.
The Carnivale event was already on it's way to be a thrilling and provocative evening at only 2 p.m. DJ Tezrah entertained in the torrid summer sun with her unique blend of dance and party tunes.
Carnival attendees started buying carnival tickets the moment they walked through the gates. These tickets were used to purchase beer, games, twisted balloons, tarot reading, and more. Greeting party-goers at the gates stood a gigantic stilt walker decked out in a snazzy and glittering white suit bringing a delightful (maybe creepy) twist to the afternoon.
Sequin encrusted jugglers, circus entertainers, costumed beer lovers and racy outfits sprouted up in every corner of the brewery. Peppered throughout the space where various party games with very adult themes, filling the air with the sounds of giggles.
"This is a very different event than I have ever seen around here!" said Kelly Pauly. "I love Denizens and love the fun the staff is sharing with us today."
Near the front of the brewery stood one of the most popular games, the Dunk Dank staffed by Denizens employees. Crowds gathered in laughter watching their favorite bartenders splash into the bucket. Proceeds went to support the Montgomery County Animal Rescue League.
Carnivale canine guest Stuart Chadwick McDuff-Pizza wandered around on a leash with a Gopro camera strapped to his back, delighting all of the party people. He is quoted to say "Woof" which translates as "This is an amazing event. I am so thrilled to hear some proceeds are going to help the Animal Rescue League"
This madcap and zany adult playground became it's own art installation piece as darkness fell upon Silver Spring. The the arrival of aerial acrobatics by Erin Jeannier, contortionism by Shelly Guy, fire and knife juggling, led light hula hooping, unicycling, mini bicycles and more created an energetic and infectious buzz in the air.
"Watching these daredevils perform is just blowing my mind" exclaimed Amy Cator.
The aerial acrobatics performed were equally enchanting and terrifying to watch, with the performer mounted high above the crowd holding only a piece of cloth to keep her suspended.
"The acrobat…that was real entertainment! That was perfect!" said Michelle Parsonet, Denizens fan and beer lover.
DJ Blaqsquerade played a nice long set of hip hop and dance music thoughout the night keeping the party going and getting many carnival guests onto the dance floor. The amazingly attentive staff made sure to take care of all party goers with short lines, food available and plenty of space to play. It is without a doubt that Silver Spring will be greatly anticipating to see what the crew at Denizen's brainstorms for their next birthday celebration.
Denizens is located at 1115 East West Highway in Silver Spring.

Golf is known as one of the best sports to play if you are seeking relaxing competitive play. Once you understand the game of golf it is easier to play, use this knowledge and group it together to find the perfect style of play for you.
This helps you determine your best stance. Standing properly is vital dependent upon your size, gender, and height. Taking the time to perfect your stance will greatly lower your average score.
You can improve your swing by using your entire body. A lot of beginners think their arms should carry the swing and end up with a weak swing by employing this misconception. You will be more effective if you use your entire body.
If possible, watch and golf with stronger players to observe their technique. There is more than one way to benefit from the expertise of a fellow golfer. Any golfer who's more skilled than you can help you. A golfer at a professional level isn't required. Paying attention to the way they play will give you new ideas, and their presence may spur you to play stronger yourself.
Be sure to drink enough water and stretch properly just like you would during any other sport. When you're in good shape, your game will improve.
One of the first things you need to learn about golf is the scoring rules. This is important because your score is often used to judge how good of a player you are. Each time you tee off towards a new hole, the number of strokes it takes to reach that hole is your score. The fewer strokes it takes, the better your score is.
Make sure that you line your feet up correctly. This is possibly one of the greatest golf tips. You want your feet to be lined up perpendicular to the place you wish the ball to go. You can check that you are doing this correctly by putting the club parallel to your toes; the tip of the club will be pointing towards the ball's potential path.
It's a good idea to have light, high-protein snacks, such as nuts, handy when playing golf. Golf demands both physical and mental effort. The high protein and calorie content of your snack will help you sustain your level of mental energy and physical endurance, enabling you to finish the entire course.
These tips should help you feel more confident about your game. Just like most things in life, the more you practice what you have learned, the simpler it becomes, so use the knowledge gained from this article to your advantage by taking it to the course.

Mediation is a mandatory part of the divorce process in Florida. It is a valuable process that allows you to express your emotional and legal needs with the help of a mediator outside of the court room. It allows more control over the situation and offers you the opportunity to make these very personal decisions for yourself, rather than have them be made by a judge.
Mediation is also helpful in resolution of issues between domestic partners who do not have access to family courts upon the breakup of a relationship. It can be a very helpful tool to unravel a fairly complicated situation.
If you are considering mediation for your divorce or family matter, contact our Tampa divorce mediation attorney to learn more.
Florida Mediation Process
Because it is mandatory when filing for divorce, Florida divorce court offers mediation services, but people are also able to hire a private mediator. Couples seeking a divorce must make an effort to resolve their disputes before proceeding to litigation. In fact, if a couple has been in litigation for a long time and hasn't been to mediation for six months, the judge will order another attempt to mediate the dispute.
Each party is represented by an attorney during the mediation process, which is conducted before a mediator. The mediator will encourage the parties to discuss their needs with each other. The parties' attorneys will offer guidance regarding the legal consequences of the decisions but the process is more about the parties coming to solutions that work for them.
Agreements reached through mediation are only binding once compiled in writing and signed by each party. Agreements can be temporary or final, partial or full. Usually mediation agreements are written by the mediator, although sometimes the agreed-to terms are written up by one of the attorneys with review by the other.
If all issues are not resolved through mediation, the remaining issues will proceed to family court. A discovery process will be needed to gather information.
Representing Clients In Mediation
With more than 30 years of experience, family law attorney Mary L. Greenwood believes that the worst decisions two people can make together are probably better than what a judge can order. The judge does not know them. Mediation offers the opportunity for people to take control of their divorce and make their own decisions.
Attorney Greenwood has represented clients in mediation and understands that mediation can only work if the parties and their lawyers are willing to cooperate and participate fully in the process. The first step to a successful mediation is preparation. Ms. Greenwood will help you to understand and develop the necessary legal and financial information you will need so that the process of mediation can be meaningful.
Because of her vast experience, Mary L. Greenwood is able to analyze all of the information provided by the other party and recognize if there's missing information. She also understands what it takes to be a parent and the issues arising in divorce when you have children.

Why the mental health cop ban will serve to 'discourage the others'
The combination of a press-friendly police commissioner with an enthusiasm for social media and a West Midlands police force where information is controlled through firm rules and procedures was always going to be an explosion waiting to happen.
And a week ago, the whole thing blew up when the force suspended the Twitter account of Inspector Michael Brown, aka @mentalhealthcop, who is a nationally regarded expert on the way police deal with (or don't deal with) mental health issues when arresting and detaining suspects.
To show that this was being treated as a serious matter, WMP revealed that the suspension was approved by Assistant Chief Constable Garry Forsyth for an investigation to take place into alleged "misuse of a force Twitter account". ACC Forsyth, by the way, is apparently responsible for 'customer relations', which is a new one on me.
Six days later, after a social media uproar, questions from MPs and some pretty bad publicity for West Midlands Police, Inspector Brown had his Twitter account reinstated as if nothing had happened and began to tweet his blog again.
ACC Forsyth is saying little about why he approved the suspension, other than to state that the investigation looked at "inappropriate use of direct messaging and social media".
What we do know is that Brown has been given "informal advice" about his conduct, which is probably police-speak for a rocket up the backside and a warning that he'll be back plodding the beat in the wilds of Willenhall in a trice if he steps out of line again.
What, though, did @mentalhealthcop do that he was not supposed to have done? We shall never know since ACC Forsyth has decided it would "not be fair or proportionate" to release further details of the investigation.
Theories differ as to the identity of the tweet too far. Some say Inspector Brown was too outspoken about the lack of resources to address mental health issues, which would hardly be surprising given the budget cuts forced on to the police by the Chancellor.
Another suggestion, promoted by Nick Cohen in the Spectator magazine, claims Inspector Brown was dismissive about a "street triage scheme" in which a nurse accompanies officers on patrol and decides whether to send a mentally ill person home, to hospital or to the cells.
On his blog, Brown wrote that 'a nurse in a car with a cop' may not be the best solution. Unfortunately, as he was tweeting his criticism, a film promoting the triage system appeared on BBC's One Show, portraying WMP as pioneers. Brown tweeted that the triage system couldn't succeed if the "police's place of safety pathways aren't working properly".
Meanwhile, ACC Forsyth took to Twitter to welcome back @mentalhealthcop, adding that he was glad it is "back to business as usual" for Inspector Brown and his award-winning blog.
Except that it cannot be business as usual, surely?
This episode has raised questions about the role of police officers using Twitter as part of their jobs. As previously mentioned, Police and Crime Commissioner Bob Jones is a big fan of social media. He must be the most press-friendly PCC in the country, since he makes it a matter of principle never to turn down a request from a journalist for an interview.
One can only imagine the bemusement, and then frustration, when it dawned on ACC Forsyth, and quite possibly the chief constable as well, that Bob Jones wasn't at all happy about the suspension of Inspector Brown's Twitter account and wasn't afraid to say so.
Although the Commissioner made it abundantly clear that he couldn't and wouldn't interfere in the disciplinary process, he repeatedly stated that he wanted to see Brown's blog up and running again. This, perhaps, is why the investigation into alleged "inappropriate" use of Twitter lasted only six days, which in terms of police disciplinary inquiries is lightning fast.
As a politician, Bob Jones recognises the value of "getting the message out there" quickly. And Twitter has revolutionised the ability of the police and other public organisations to communicate swiftly and effectively.
The question for the police and for councils, who are facing their own social media anxieties, is simple enough: how can we control the message? This is a tough question given the contrast between social media – where text can be half-way around the globe in a second – and the traditional approach to communications adopted by public bodies – avoid decision making, get a press release rubber-stamped and signed off by as many people above you as you can find.
The straight answer in a world where social media continues to empower millions across the world is that you can't really control anything, as much as you might wish to. The toothpaste, having been squeezed out of the tube, can't be put back in.
The philosopher Sir Francis Bacon reportedly said "knowledge is power", and his comment has been re-interpreted over the years as "information is power". Bacon was writing 400 years ago, but the principle behind his remark is as sound today as it was in the 16th century.
Most police officers use Twitter to issue triumphant messages about having collared a burglar or prevented a robbery, which is fair enough. There are also many tweets warning people to lock up their property and be more security-aware, which is also to be expected. Higher ranking officers talk a lot on Twitter about the top-level meetings they attend to discuss important issues with 'partner' organisations.
What we have not yet seen much of is coppers at the coal face getting to grips on Twitter with budget cuts, forced redundancies, reorganisation and amalgamation of forces and the many other hot topics surrounding the way police forces are actually run.
Perhaps the temporary slapping down of Inspector Brown had a less than subtle motive. Could it have served as a cautionary warning to police officers to watch what they are tweeting because they in turn are being watched?
As Voltaire put it, 'to encourage the others'. Or in this case, to discourage the others.

Being a medical student means having not enough time to cook. And it also means that some do not have an oven or are too lazy to make an effort to bake.
I love baking. I grew up in a bakery. My parents are in that business and that is why I started to bake at a young age. So now that I do not have time and I do not have the energy to bake I decided to think about some no bake recipes for cakes.
One of my favorite recipes used to be banana bread. However, since I changed my diet and started eating vegan/plant based I had to think about alternatives. This is why I want to share my (so far) favorite recipe of a no bake protein banana bread bars.
Why bars? because they are easy to take to work. Once you have a short break between seeing patients, pull out a bar and make sure your stomach is not complaining more than your patient.
- 2 cups of mixture flour: make your own mixture of oat flour, coconut flour, flax seeds, fine oats
- ½ cup vanilla vegan friendly protein powder
- 2 teaspoon granulated sweetener of choice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup cashew butter
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 small banana, mashed
- 1 teaspoon dairy free milk of choice
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts of choice (optional)
- Line a baking dish with baking paper
- In large bowl combine the flour mix, protein powder, granulated sweetener, cinnamon and mix well.
- In another bowl combine the nut butter and liquid sweetener and heat until melted. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and mix well. Add the banana and mix. Stir through nuts if desired.
- Using a spoon, add the dairy free milk of choice one spoonful at a time until a thick, firm mass is formed.
- Transfer to baking dish and press firmly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Kay Arthur is turning 85 years young on November 11th!
Every time Mom shares her age people are shocked at how young she seems! She jokingly says "Well it takes longer to paint the barn these days" referring to her makeup routine. This was a saying from my father as he teased Mom while waiting for her to exit the house.
Even I can hardly believe she is almost 85! Recently I traveled overseas with her for a few weeks and found myself (age 51) at times struggling a bit to keep up with her! Her passion and energy for people and the word is contagious. What a treasure to witness the same passion in people like you.
Can you believe Mom was just 37 when she and Dad founded Precept?
Recently the board and staff of Precept have updated our mission and vision statements. Even though what we have used for the past 48 years has been good, we have improved it. It was so encouraging to hear Mom passionately engage in the updating process. Her input was creative and helpful! Mom is not one who is stuck in the past just because it has worked for decades. She eagerly joined the team in shaping up these new statements:
Mission: To engage people in relationship with God through knowing His word.
Vision: Every believer in Christ living out God's word every day.
These updates emphasize our goal for Bible study is a rich, vibrant and growing relationship with God. Our Lord gave us 66 books to help us know Him intimately, and by careful study of these books we can grow closer to Him. Since our beginning in 1970 Precept has provided the training and resources necessary for effective Bible Study Leaders to engage students in God's word and that will continue.
Our vision represents what we desire to see if our mission succeeds. Every believer means just that – children to adults. Americans and Africans, Pentecostals and Presbyterians, all consistently applying scriptural truths in their lives every single day. What a glorious vision!
Many of you have partnered faithfully with us over these years. What a blessing you have been to hundreds of thousands around the world – children, women and men being grounded in God's word!
Soon after Mom and Dad started the ministry, they continued to follow the Holy Spirit's leading by developing Bible studies designed for people to discover truth for themselves but not by themselves. Celebrating Mom's 85th birthday is even sweeter knowing that we have not deviated from the original mission!
So here is our proposal to you for celebrating this major birthday. Take a minute and jot her a note giving testimony of how Precept has helped you grow in relationship with God.
What she loves most are not gifts to her personally but gifts that expand the reach of Precept! I have witnessed her over the years turn down personal gifts but in the same breath suggest support for the ministry. Anytime she gets an honorarium for speaking somewhere she gives it directly to the ministry. Mom believes in our mission deeply! She too is a faithful giver to Precept and has personally given sacrificially from the very beginning.
Please consider a contribution to celebrate God's faithfulness and extend the reach of the mission.
So let's celebrate God's goodness and grace to my beloved mother letting by her know how Precept has impacted us. Prayerfully give a gift that will help us reach people all over the world who are desperate to know God and live out His word every day.
David Arthur
President & CEO
Precept Ministries
PS: We hope you're as excited as we are about the updated mission and vision statement. Stay tuned for more information on how these foundational statements will strengthen your ministry to others with God's word!

July 2009: Incandescent
images: Salvatore Panatteri, "Untitled' (Incandescent)" installation views + details
"Salvatore Panatteri's Untitled (Incandescent) works can be understood as a tribute to the earliest form of electric light and also to the related technology of photography. The two technologies are not only paradigmatic of the industrial age in which they were conceived, but both also have influenced our ways of seeing over the past two hundred years… This series is a dynamic distillation of the technologies of a time past, one that could only occur in the present historical conjuncture when the digital era has made chemical photography and the incandescent light system system redundant".
Extract from 'On Salvatore Panatteri's Untitled (Incandescent) series' By Dr. Helen Macallan

The Temptation of Laura by Rachel Brimble
The Temptation of Laura by Rachel Brimble
Kensington Books
Publication Date: February 20, 2014
Date Read: February 14, 2014
I received an advance reader edition of this book from Kensington Books and Net Galley for the purpose of providing an honest review.
I give this book a solid 4 stars. This is one of those books that will work for some readers but not for others. I liked this book and found that it did work for me but many romance readers will not feel the same. This is not a hearts and flowers feel good romance. This romance is rather dark in my mind with characters who have had a tough life.
Laura is a whore and has been one since she was 15 years old. She lives with her friend, Bette, and the pair have taken care of each other. Bette is sick and Laura is doing her best to provide for the both of them. She has always been drawn to the theater and decides to see if she can find work there. She is able to find an honest job selling treats at the theater where she meets Adam. Adam is an actor and aspiring playwright who knows that the key to the play that he has written is Laura. Adam pursues Laura and convinces her to be in his play. The pair become close and eventually Laura and Bette both move into Adam's home for protection from the neighborhood pimp. Adam knows about Laura's past but is able to look beyond that and they both start having feeling for each other.
This book is darker than most historical romances, at least those that I have encountered. Laura has been a prostitute in order to take care of herself and has a hard time believing that anyone will ever see her as anything but a whore. Adam has been at the mercy of wealthy widows in order to find work. They both have a hard time learning to be together without falling back on past behaviors. This is not simply the story of two people falling in love. It is really the story of two people who are hurting learning to love each other while learning to change their life. It was a bit different and I liked that about the book.
I found the characters to be somewhat believable. Not all of their actions were believable but for the most part it felt authentic. I thought the writing was well done. I really like that the author chose to let the characters mess up since it was really unexpected for me. I would recommend this book to any romance reader willing to try something a little darker. I plan to check out other works by this author.

Carole, thank you SO much for such a great review! I loved writing Laura's story and you're right, my stories definitely have a darker element. Try as I might, I can't resist a villain!ReplyDelete

Lemonade Out of Lemons: Out-of-Work Day Laborers Open Eco-Friendly Cleaning Service in NYC
Image: Bobbi Bowers via flickr
The New York Times had a nice story last week about women who would wait at a Williamsburg intersection to find work on a day-by-day basis. But there was no work on far too many days for comfort—getting a job for two or three hours at a time was a good thing. So a group of them got together and started their own cleaning service. But not just any service—the Apple Eco-Friendly Cleaning cooperative, which advertises on recycled paper and uses homemade cleaning products based on ingredients like lemon juice, glycerin, borax and fruit oils.The women have said that in their previous jobs, they would suffer from the harsh chemicals they would use—a connection that more and more people have made as they realize the kinds of chemicals contained in most cleaning products on supermarket shelves. Workplaces have even seen employees call in fewer sick days after making a switch to greener cleaners.
Better Treatment, Physically and Emotionally
Now, they feel better not only because they are using nontoxic cleaners they formulate themselves, but they are treated better and with more respect, as well. "When we say we're from a company with a business card, they treat you differently from the time you arrive," one of the cooperative's founders told The Times.
Promote the use of non-toxic, biodegradable and organic derived cleaning agent to help protect the health of our clients, our own and our environment
Guarantee a High-Quality Green Cleaning that combines best sustainable methods with accredited professional experience
Create Green, Healthy and Sustainable Cleaning Jobs with dignified working conditions and a living wage
So far, the cooperative has been off to a successful, but very slow, start. So if you know anyone in New York City who needs a cleaning service...

Senior defenseman Kayla Griffith tied the score with 8:34 to play in regulation but Adrian College went on to defeat the visiting Lake Forest College women's hockey team 4-3 in overtime in Saturday night's Northern Collegiate Hockey Association Slaats Cup Championship Game.
Griffith's goal was her ninth of the season and she was assisted by sophomore forward Lexi Morgan and senior forward Olivia Spellmire, who broke her own program record for assists in a season on the play.
The score remained 3-3 until the Bulldogs scored after 15 minutes of sudden-death overtime.
Both team lit the lamp once in each of the first three periods, beginning with Forester junior forward Amy Budde's 17th score of the season at 4:52 in the first. She was assisted by a pair of sophomores, defenseman Amanda Boisjolie and forward Sydney Simone, whose 26 assists on the season are the third-highest total in team history. Budde finished her third year as a Forester ranked fifth in school history with 98 career points.
Adrian finally got on the scoreboard with 1:33 remaining in the first period and took the lead for the first time on a power play score at 11:57 in the second.
The home team's lead was short-lived, however, as the Foresters pulled even just 97 seconds later on Morgan's 22nd goal of the season, a total that ranks tied-for-sixth in team annals. Spellmire and freshman forward Megan Lyke set up the score.
Adrian regained the lead at the 4:19 mark of the third period and was ahead for more than seven minutes before Griffith's goal. The teams were tied for more than 52 of the game's 75 minutes.
The Foresters had an 11-6 advantage in shots on goal in the opening period but, perhaps felling the effects of another overtime game the night before, were out-shot 10-9 in the second, 16-8 in the third, and 8-2 in overtime.
Budde and Spellmire were named to the NCHA Slaats Cup Playoff All-Tournament Team with Spellmire earning the event's Most Valuable Player award. She scored both of Lake Forest's goals on Friday and assisted on two of the visitors' three scores in the final. Spellmire, who was also named NCHA Player of the Year on Wednesday for her performance in the regular season, finished 2017-18 with a league-high 23 goals and 28 assists. Her goal total ranks tied-for-fourth in program history, the assist total is one more than the previous school record she set as a sophomore, and her 51 points rank second. Spellmire is also the program record-holder for career assists with 79 and ranks second in team history with 132 points and tied-for-third with 53 goals.
The loss snapped Lake Forest's winning streak at 11 games and the Foresters finished the season with an overall mark of 20-9-0. Adrian, the sixth-ranked team in the nation, will enter next weekend's quarterfinal round of the NCAA Division III Tournament at 22-5-1.
Spellmire and Griffith will be joined by fellow seniors Amanda Brunges, Melissa Bodine, and Caroline Campbell at graduation in May. They have combined for 326 points on 116 goals and 210 assists while helping lead the team to a 75-28-7 record over the last four years.

Corey Feldman shows photo of 'world's smallest knife wound'
So was Corey Feldman really stabbed? Next to who bit Beyoncé, it's the second biggest mystery of the week. There is much more info on this topic, though, including a photo that the Goonies and Lost Boys actor shared of the injury he sustained.
Let's start with the photo. It was posted Thursday night by Corey, and the injury, which he received on Tuesday night, does appear small (as well as red and round), but it adds weight to his theory that someone stabbed him with a syringe, a very small knife, or another sharp object that broke his skin. He referred to it as "the world's smallest knife wound" in his post but again pointed out that something did go into his body.
Feldman asked for prayers for the test results stemming from that — and the results are now in, according to TMZ. The website reports that Corey was given "a clean bill of health." His bodyguard, Jeff V., who was with Corey during the alleged stabbing, said that hospital test results showed no traces of any drugs in his system or infectious diseases.
As for why someone would stab Corey, the actor and singer speculated it could be the "wolf pack," a group he says has been threatening him since he started making noise about pedophiles in Hollywood, of which he and his BFF, the late Corey Haim, were victims. However, his manager told People on Thursday that the recent incident, which took place on Ventura Boulevard in Reseda, Calif., was a classic case of road rage.
"I think it was an ego thing," Feldman's lawyer, Perry Wander, said. "They got into a staring contest with the security guard. It was road rage. At the light, one of the guys got out of the car and the security guard, instead of just taking off, stupidly got out of the car and engaged with them. While he was distracted, one of the [alleged attackers] circled around and opened the door and caught Corey by surprise and attacked him with a sharp object."
There was chatter that Feldman was just being paranoid — and his attorney addressed that too. "There's a lot of people trolling him on social media that have made threats to him," said Wander. "He has a genuine concern that I believe is well founded that certain people are upset with him about him outing child molesters." Separately, Feldman's publicist told People that the so-called "wolf pack" is real. They "make videos everyday threatening and bashing him and while we don't have proof that they were involved, he was terrified and didn't know what hit him. The attackers didn't ask for his wallet or take his car. It was very quick. He didn't recognize them."
Corey gave a detailed account of the incident the day before in an interview with People. He said that at one point, he told the group of men to get away from their car. "And the guy's like, 'What you gonna do about it? You got a gun?'" Feldman recalled. The star previously had another weird road rage incident, where two trucks tried to run him over.
IM IN THE HOSPITAL! I WAS ATTACKED 2NITE! A MAN OPENED MY CAR DOOR & STABBED ME W SOMETHING! PLEASE SAY PRAYERS 4 US! THANK GOD IT WAS ONLY MYSELF & MY SECURITY IN THE CAR, WHEN 3 MEN APPROACHED! WHILE SECURITY WAS DISTRACTED, W A GUY A CAR PULLED UP & ATTACKED! I'M OK! pic.twitter.com/TZ0ppZeEWN
— Corey Feldman (@Corey_Feldman) March 28, 2018
The new photo Feldman posted of his injury comes after an LAPD spokesperson told Deadline that the star was not actually stabbed and had no lacerations. Yahoo reached out to an LAPD spokesperson for a comment on the photo and they said, "We do not have anything further… It's an ongoing investigation." Yesterday their official comment on the topic of Feldman was that "a report for an 'Assault with Deadly Weapon' was taken."
Regardless, police are investigating the case. However, according to TMZ, they've been unable to track down any surveillance video of the incident. And swabs taken from Corey's car for potential DNA haven't led to any connections.
While it all gets sorted out, Corey's just happy to be alive. On Twitter Thursday, he posted, "On this Holy Week, it's no wonder that I was spared once again. I'm so lucky 2 b alive 2day. I hope u all can appreciate this day we've been given 2day & use it 4 good. God Bless."

Super Mario Brothers Birthday Cake
This was easily the most fun cake I have made to date. For any kid who grew up in the 1980's, there is undoubtedly a soft spot in your heart for Nintendo and Super Mario Brothers. When an old friend asked about doing a Super Mario Brothers cake for her boyfriend's 30th birthday, I was giddy. I couldn't wait to get started. I wanted to depict all of the old, traditional pieces of the original game, but since they play the New Super Mario Brothers game on the Wii I decided to use that scenic backdrop, and I was thrilled with how it turned out.
Can you hear the music? "Do do do, do do do doo do, do do doo!…"
Everything on the cake was created with fondant and edible; I used toothpicks to create the detail on the bricks, coins and turtle and used a black edible marker for the faces and goomba legs. For the star topper, I pre-measured craft wire that I get at Michael's, so that it would go about 1/3 of the way up the star, and the whole way into the top layer of the cake for support. I cut out the star, brushed on a little water, then gently pressed the wire onto what would be the back. I then cut another star and laid it on top of the wire and gently pressed it into the other star. This sealed them together, and the wire between them, to create a sturdy support for the topper. I let it dry overnight before adding it to the top of the cake before delivery.
A 360-degree look at the cake:

Ae2a,b-deficient mice develop antimitochondrial antibodies and other features resembling primary biliary cirrhosis
Salas JT, Banales JM, Sarvide S, Recalde S, Ferrer A, Uriarte I, Oude Elferink RP, Prieto J, Medina JF.
Division of Gene Therapy and Hepatology, CIMA, Clínica Universitaria and School of Medicine, University of Navarra, and CIBERehd, Pamplona, Spain.
Magazine: Gastroenterology
Date: May 1, 2008Hepatology
Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) anion exchanger 2 (AE2) is involved in intracellular pH (pH(i)) regulation and transepithelial acid-base transport, including secretin-stimulated biliary bicarbonate excretion. AE2 gene expression was found to be reduced in liver biopsy specimens and blood mononuclear cells from patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), a disease characterized by chronic nonsuppurative cholangitis associated with antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA) and other autoimmune phenomena.
In mice with widespread Ae2 gene disruption, we previously reported altered spermiogenesis and reduced gastric acid secretion. We now describe the hepatobiliary and immunologic changes observed in these Ae2(a.b)-deficient mice.
In this murine model, splenocyte pH(i) and T-cell populations were studied by flow cytometry. CD3-stimulated cytokine secretion was estimated using cytokine arrays. AMA were evaluated by immunoblotting and proteomics. Hepatobiliary changes were assessed by immunohistopathology, flow cytometry, and serum biochemistry. Cholangiocyte gene expression was analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction.
Ae2(a,b)(-/-) mice exhibit splenomegaly, elevated pH(i) in splenocytes, increased production of interleukin-12p70 and interferon gamma, expanded CD8(+) T-cell population, and under represented CD4(+)FoxP3(+)/regulatory T cells. Most Ae2(a,b)(-/-) mice tested positively for AMA, showing increased serum levels of immunoglobulin M and G, and liver-specific alkaline phosphatase. About one third of Ae2(a,b)(-/-) mice had extensive portal inflammation with CD8(+) and CD4(+) T lymphocytes surrounding damaged bile ducts. Cholangiocytes isolated from Ae2(a,b)(-/-) mice showed gene expression changes compatible with oxidative stress and increased antigen presentation.
Ae2 deficiency alters pH(i) homeostasis in immunocytes and gene expression profile in cholangiocytes, leading to immunologic and hepatobiliary changes that resemble PBC.

Armenian Biblical Commentaries
In April of this year a further volume in a series of Bible commentaries was published in the Armenian language. This brings to four the number of commentaries available to Christians there. The first to be published was one on James. This was followed first by a commentary on the Letters of Peter and Jude and then by one on the Letters of John. To these a commentary on Philippians has now been added.
Other commentaries have been translated, and one on Colossians is in process of being carefully edited. This is the work of brother Vartan Sarkissian who checks the Armenian translation against the English version; where there are any questions about the meaning he contacts the author to see what was really intended. He also checks to see that the meanings of English idioms is conveyed as correctly as possible. At times changes have to be made to the English phrasing so that a more accurate translation can be made.
Some may wonder why it is necessary to publish these commentaries. During the 70 years when Armenia was under Communist control, no theological books were printed in their language. Although the nation became independent 25 years ago, there is still very little evangelical literature available. Even though most people call themselves Christians, the number of evangelical believers is small, and commercial book publishers are not interested in meeting their needs. Hence a decision was made by ACM to write and translate for Armenian believers.
For each book, 1,000 copies are printed. All copies of the first two books have been distributed and a further 500 copies of the commentary on James have been printed. Most books are given freely to those who will read them and there have even been encouraging instances of children reading and appresiating the books.
Please pray for this work. Translation and editing take a long time because the people involved in this work have many other commitments. Pray that the translating and editing will be done in a way that will bring God's blessing to the readers. Pray for wisdom for all who are involved in producing each book.
If you are interested in purchasing one of these commentaries in Eastern Armenian, please write to ACM (P.O. Box 1593, Chatswood NSW 2057) or visit our website: www.acmaust.org

Spring Adult Faith Formation Retreat
The Ambassadors Community for Theological Study is intended to enrich and equip laity for intentional service as ambassadors for Christ in homes, churches, and in their communities. It provides comprehensive exposure to the foundations of Lutheran faith through classroom and experiential education.
The primary goals of ACTS are:
- To increase in laity the ability to intentionally live and share the Christian faith.
- To develop in laity a fuller understanding of the Bible, the theology of our church, and the practice of ministry.
- To equip in laity leadership special areas of ministry and service as ambassadors for Christ.
A typical course will consist of 10 hours of large-group instruction by a recognized authority, offered in two five hour Saturday sessions. Plus five two hour small groups, usually done on a weeknight chosen by the group and led by a rostered leader.
For more information on the ACTS program you can contact:
Deacon Lisa Geiger
ACTS Director
1301 Colley Ave.
Norfolk VA 23517-0010
If you would like to be included in ACTS mailings contact Emily at firstname.lastname@example.com
ACTS currently offers the following six courses:
1. Foundations of Lutheran Theology (Confessions): This course will use the Book of Concord to study central beliefs and teachings of the Lutheran Church. A foundational understanding will develop as the student focuses on Martin Luther's thoughts on salvation and justification. By the end of this study the participant will leave with practical ways to apply these principals in today's world.
2. Old Testament: An introduction to the history, culture and geography of the people and lands of the Old Testament. The participant will learn about the relationship between the Old Testament and the New Testament as they follow the story of Ancient Israel from the time of Abraham to the return from the exile.
3. New Testament: The participant will study the content and development of the New Testament. The Gospels provide the foundation for the church and by the end of this course the participant will have an increased knowledge of the New Testament and how it sets us free to share our God-given gifts.
4. Biblical Models of Leadership: This course will examine the many different examples of leadership that the Bible provides. The participant will study biblical and theological bases for mission in today's communities. They will begin to develop practical ways to encourage, equip, support and organize congregations and communities for evangelical outreach.
5. Spirituality and Leadership: This course will explore how throughout biblical history prayerfully listening to God changed the way leaders served in response to God's call. The participant will learn ways a congregation can prepare and use their many differing personal and spiritual gifts for mission.
6. The Christian's Call Today: This course focuses on the Christian's faith life, work and secular life. Students will examine their own gifts and how to use their gifts to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ in their daily practices.
After completing the six courses above students will receive a certificate of recognition. You may
take the courses in any order.
ACTS students are encouraged to continue learning and may enroll in additional classes after receiving
their certificate. A discount is offered to a repeat course.
Spring 2020 Offering will be a retreat on Christian Leadership with more information to come.
Why should I get into ACTS?
You are needed as a knowledgeable ambassador for Christ. ACTS will equip you to answer "yes" to the call to be Christ's ambassador. If you're seeking a deeper faith, then ACTS is for you!
ACTS is a series of advanced courses that will help you to look more deeply into biblical truths and to study essential elements of faith. ACTS is designed to prepare church leaders for more effective service.
ACTS provides theological grounding for lay people who are called to lead in congregations, the Virginia
Synod, or the ELCA. This educational program is for anyone who wants to enrich his or her knowledge and faith. Enrolling in ACTS can be a significant step in your spiritual growth and a blessing to those affected by your witness.
What are enrollment requirements?
You don't have to be a biblical scholar to attend ACTS, but it helps to have a general understanding of the Bible and Christian theology. An eagerness to study and learn is essential.
Why an ACTS certificate of recognition?
Certificates help to identify lay people who are equipped for service in the mission of the church. Think of an ACTS Certificate as a milestone in your preparation for service or leadership.
Do I have to participate in the ACTS certificate program?
No. You may take one or several courses of your choice without seeking certification.
How much does ACTS cost?
Each ACTS course costs $175 for tuition, plus the cost of textbooks and materials. We do have some discounted rates that are offered, please check the registration form to see what rates may apply for you or your congregation.
Is ACTS limited to Lutherans?
While ACTS is geared for Lutheran laity, others are welcome.

Human rights and the draft EU constitution
Richard Abbot, June 2003
A central feature of the proposed EU constitution is the Charter of Fundamental Freedoms, which if the EU constitution is adopted, will become legally enforceable. It is important for Christians to formulate a biblical view of such documents, since, fundamentally, law and human rights are spiritual issues that both reflect the religion of a society and shape its moral framework.
Consider, for example, the controversy over whether reference to God should be made in the draft EU constitution. The suggestion provoked a storm of protest from secular and humanist groups, one of which said: 'To include references to God or "our Christian heritage" would be to start turning back on our 500-year journey from the Enlightenment.' [1]
The secularists won the day. Article 2 states: 'The Union is founded on the values of respect for human dignity, liberty, democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights, values which are common to the Member States. Its aim is a society at peace, through the practice of tolerance, justice and solidarity.'
Many churches including the Vatican expressed their disapproval at the wording of the text. And for good reason. Unless values such as dignity, liberty and tolerance are affirmed in the context of a transcendent framework they lack fixed or objective meanings. Indeed, the decision to omit reference to God was no mere oversight. It was a deliberate decision, after considerable debate, to base EU laws upon Enlightenment humanism rather than Europe's Christian heritage.
A biblical perspective
The gap between secular and Christian legal thinking is nowhere more evident than in a discussion of human rights. The biblical view of law begins with God as creator. As such he is empowered to grant privileges to, and place obligations upon, mankind, who are part of his creation. In addition, human beings are created in God's image (Genesis 1:27–28), a status which confers dignity as well as unique privileges and obligations – which the rest of the Bible proceeds to spell out.
There are no words in Scripture that correspond directly to our concept of 'rights' as legal entitlements. The relevant Hebrew words are din, mishpat and tsedek. Din comes closest where it refers to a cause of action, such as pleading the cause of the fatherless before a judge (e.g. Jeremiah 5:28). Tsedek refers to justice in an abstract sense rather than in the sense of an enforceable 'right'. Mishpat embraces the concept of justice and can refer to 'divine commands or rules which benefit certain categories of people' but, again, does not denote specific rights over others as in the modern concept. [2] In the New Testament exousia is sometimes translated as 'right'. It is used in John 1:12 and refers to the believers' 'right' (exousia) to become sons of God. In this context, however, exousia is not something that human beings possess innately or autonomously. Rather, the right to become sons of God is granted by God's sovereign authority.
Furthermore, the biblical understanding of privileges and obligations is stated in negative terms, e.g. 'you shall not steal'. It is this very negativity that guarantees liberty because everything not expressly forbidden is allowed. As such the law provides a hedge around freedom, outlawing only those things that would be injurious to society. This biblical idea of negative law influenced the development of English law, including the Bill of Rights in 1689 which tended to use 'freedom from' language as opposed to 'freedom to' language.
By contrast the European Charter uses 'freedom to' language. The danger with this approach is that people tacitly accept that they are only entitled to such freedoms as the state (or some other body) chooses to give them. In addition, by setting out the law in terms of negative obligations rather than positive rights – and in contrast to the self-centredness of modern society – biblical law reminds us of our duties towards others rather than their duties towards us.
The European Charter
The European Charter states in its preamble: 'the Union is founded on the indivisible, universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity.' It would be useful to explore these terms to illustrate further the gap between biblical and modern secular thinking about human rights.
DIGNITY within human rights declarations has 'replaced the idea of god or nature as the foundation of inalienable rights', according to Francesca Klug of King's College London.[3] On this view, dignity is not acknowledged to be a gift of the creator God but is considered innate within each person by virtue of his or her humanity alone. And the general perception of human nature is that it is essentially good – in contrast to the biblical concept of original sin.
The biblical concept of dignity is fundamentally different. Rather than being innate, dignity derives from our creator. This is a subtle but important distinction. God as creator, rather than man, is central to the world's moral order. In addition, the biblical understanding of the sinfulness of mankind provides moral clarity and a more realistic expectation of human behaviour.
FREEDOM in the modern sense means the right of individuals to define their own existence and their own moral order. However, if all moral opinions are of equal worth, it becomes impossible for one person to accuse another of wrongdoing or even to define what amounts to 'human rights'. The biblical understanding, by contrast, is that God has established an objective and unchanging moral order to which all of humanity are subject. This alone is a sufficient basis for protecting human freedoms.
EQUALITY as understood by the European Charter is more extensive – and more utopian – than the biblical understanding. In the biblical view, we are all morally equal under God and equally subject to his law. An example of this can be found in the story of Naboth's vineyard in 1 Kings 21. However, the Bible is realistic. There is no promise of material equality, although there are many injunctions to show mercy to the poor. By contrast, modern human rights declarations often appear to undermine the differences that arise naturally within society. Thus, with reference to gender relations, Article 23 of the European Charter states: 'Equality between men and women must be ensured in all areas…'
Furthermore, the Charter encourages the state to interfere excessively in the private dealings between people to enforce equality, and thereby enhances the power of the state over individuals. Whereas, in teachings such as the Sermon on the Mount, the Bible places the onus on individuals rather than the state to ensure that they behave correctly towards other people.
SOLIDARITY – both the Bible and the European Charter believe in solidarity but differ in the type of community envisaged. The Charter's vision is of a 'social Europe' with a powerful state – regulating areas such as employment, family and healthcare – as the focal point. However, the biblical social model is multipolar, consisting of individuals in relationship with family, tribe and local community as well as with central government.
The modern notion of human rights strikes against this multipolar model of society. By placing the individual at the centre of human rights, intermediate institutions are subordinated leading to an atomisation of society. The removal of the intermediate bodies between individuals and the state leaves a vacuum, which the state fills as it takes over the functions previously carried out by, for example, families or local communities. The danger is that the individual is then forced to stand alone before an increasingly powerful state.
The rejection of any reference to Europe's Christian heritage in the EU Constitution is not simply a matter of semantics. The framers of the constitution envisage a Europe with humanity rather than God at the centre. They perceive issues such as liberty and democracy as having been the invention of the Enlightenment and have chosen to ignore Europe's rich biblical law heritage.
In its favour, the European Charter is an attempt to call people and organisations to account within a moral framework. However, there are limitations to the human rights idea. Rights are often arbitrary, reflecting a particular ideology, and are frequently subjective and unrealistic. They can increase the power of government at the expense of intermediate power structures such as the family and they promote a culture of individual autonomy. In addition the ever-increasing number of rights risk trivialising the central values upon which a free society is based.
Richard Abbott graduated in law from Nottingham University. He has interests in constitutional law and human rights and has lectured in the UK, USA and Lithuania.

You may have heard this a thousand times: cigarette smoking can kill you. You may have seen that on television, where people showcase shrunken lungs, shriveled aortas, and dead smokers who look more like sidewalk than they do individuals. You may have been told your body will break down due to the thousands of toxins in cigarette smoke.
You may have been told that you will expand weak and that you will be unable to exert your self physically with your improper habits. And you may have been informed against the dangers of most cancers, which can go hand in hand together with smoking. However, a person cant seem to find the power, let alone the determination, to quit. What do you do?
If you're a smoker, then you may desire to look at the following tips to have yourself to quit.
– Scare tactics dont always work, but encouragement can. Look for a good friend who is an ex-smoker and get that friend for two things: first, request advice on what you should do in order to quit your routine fast and successfully and second, ask for that person to be your mentor. He or she can guide you on the road to quitting smoking permanently.
– Confer with your doctor about different ways that you can use to quit smoking cigarettes. You may be asked to consider nicotine patches, drink specific medications, or even move cold turkey, depending on how frequently you smoke. You might also do well to inquire about your doctor about treatment centers that you can check out and that you can afford.
– Look for rewards that can help you push yourself to quit. You can established personal records: say, if you cut you to ultimately smoking only a few cigarette sticks a day, then reward yourself simply by going out to watch a show, or by managing yourself at a elegant restaurant. Look for approaches to do negative support as well: give a lot of money to a charitable organization whoever cause you do not favour if you start rediscovering the reassurance of old habits.
Alternatively, if you want to motivate a friend to quit smoking, you might want to use the following tips.
– Be encouraging, not necessarily pushy. Tell your friend that you really appreciate the person not smoking, and tell that buddy that you will be there for him or her while he or even she is going through the discomfort of quitting smoking. Again, scare tactics dont constantly work, so dont fly in your friends face and also preach about the dangers of smoking cigarettes.
– Set a good example. Stopping smoking is just part and parcel of just living a good and decent lifestyle, so if you are smoking yourself, you have no to motivate someone else to quit smoking. Live an excellent lifestyle by training, going to the gym, eating healthy, and sleeping early. Show your friend that a good way of life can equal an excellent personality by being accommodating and kind. In this way, you show, and not simply tell your friend in which theres a great life waiting for him or her when she or he quits smoking.
– When your friend begins smoking again, avoid being confrontational. If its the first time which its happened, talk to your buddy and encourage them to quit. If it happens more than once, learn to ignore your friend as well as walk away, in effect showing him or her that you dont care for them unless they care on their own first.

What are generics?
Generics are drugs that contain the same dose of the same active ingredient, as does the original drug for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Inactive ingredients of branded and generic medicines may differ.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) and Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) have different requirements for generic medicines.
The TGA approves for the treatment of erectile dysfunction only those generics, which have the same form of release and method of use, as the branded drug.
For example, a generic version of Cialis (Tadalafil) 20 mg tablets can be approved by the TGA only if it:
1. Contains 20mg of the active ingredient Tadalafil
2. Is produced in the form of tablets for oral administration
Unlike the TGA, the EMA allows that the original drugs and their generics have different forms of release and methods of use.
- In Europe, some analogues of proprietary drugs for the treatment of erectile dysfunction are called "hybrid" generics
- An example of a "hybrid" generic of Viagra 100mg oral tablets is 100mg chewable tablets Nipatra

Learning the letters of the alphabet is a big job, so why not make it fun with manipulatives and games when you can? This alphabet magnet match activity is quick to prepare and a great, hands on way to explore letters with kids!
Grab our printable Alphabet Hunts for even more ABC fun!
Alphabet Magnet Match
Alphabet magnets are a staple in my classroom. There are so many varieties to choose from, but I tend to typically grab the color coded ones with the red vowels (they are great for when you start to build words). However, any magnets will do for this activity!
I also have a lot of cookie sheets on hand for magnet letter activities. The dollar store always has them in stock, and you can't beat the price!
Armed with my alphabet magnets and cookie sheets, I simply printed out the alphabet pages (below) and I had a learning activity all set!
First I started with the lowercase alphabet page. For this one, we used lowercase magnets and the goal was to simply match up the letters. The letters go in order, which is an additional teaching opportunity to start exploring alphabetical order as well as letter recognition.
When I use this in a small group we pick a magnet letter and say its name and sound before placing it on the cookie sheet. "We grabbed an m! m says /m/."
You can also match uppercase letters with uppercase magnets, or for a bit of a challenge you can pull out the uppercase sheet and use lowercase magnets for an upper and lowercase matching game.
This is a bit trickier as once they pull a magnet, they are hunting for its uppercase match, which doesn't always look the same!
