New Edubiase United striker Bismark Idan is set to join former Black Stars coach Akwasi at Sudanese side Al Khartoum, Ghanasoccernet.com can reveal.
Idan who is already in Sudan will be signing a two year deal with the club following a week trial with the club.
The swift attacker was splendid for his side in the Ghana Premier League last season despite being relegated from the Ghanaian top flight.
The former Kessben FC striker was on the verge of joining 2000 Caf Champions League winner Accra Hearts of Oak last season but the deal fizzled out at the eleventh hour when the Phobians opted for former Heart of Lions forward Samuel Yeboah.
He joined the Bekwai-based side in the second round of the just ended season and was instrumental in the side's second round campaign but his efforts were not enough to guide them out of relegation when they were already languishing at the bottom.
Ghanasoccernet.com sources in Sudan have disclosed that the former Local Black Stars attacker had a splendid trial with the side and could complete his move to the Sudanese giants by close of the week.

This psalm is a wonderful praise song to God and a great reminder of all He does for us every day. Today I'm especially thankful for the gift of His son, Jesus Christ, whose birthday we celebrate today. Thank you for Your Amazing Love that made the miracle of our Salvation possible. Thank You Jesus for coming and becoming flesh for us and sacrificing Your life for each and every single one of us! Thank you Lord for Your Mercy, Forgiveness, Healing, Salvation, Blessings, Grace which you gift us EVERY SINGLE DAY! Thank you Jesus for coming and loving us enough to make this all possible! Hallelujah!
Psalm 103:1-22 (MSG)
O my soul, bless God . From head to toe, I'll bless his holy name! O my soul, bless God , don't forget a single blessing! [3] He forgives your sins—every one. He heals your diseases—every one. He redeems you from hell—saves your life! He crowns you with love and mercy—a paradise crown. He wraps you in goodness—beauty eternal. He renews your youth—you're always young in his presence. [6] God makes everything come out right; he puts victims back on their feet. He showed Moses how he went about his work, opened up his plans to all Israel. God is sheer mercy and grace; not easily angered, he's rich in love. He doesn't endlessly nag and scold, nor hold grudges forever. He doesn't treat us as our sins deserve, nor pay us back in full for our wrongs. As high as heaven is over the earth, so strong is his love to those who fear him. And as far as sunrise is from sunset, he has separated us from our sins. As parents feel for their children, God feels for those who fear him. He knows us inside and out, keeps in mind that we're made of mud. Men and women don't live very long; like wildflowers they spring up and blossom, But a storm snuffs them out just as quickly, leaving nothing to show they were here. God's love, though, is ever and always, eternally present to all who fear him, Making everything right for them and their children as they follow his Covenant ways and remember to do whatever he said. [19] God has set his throne in heaven; he rules over us all. He's the King! So bless God, you angels, ready and able to fly at his bidding, quick to hear and do what he says. Bless God, all you armies of angels, alert to respond to whatever he wills. Bless God, all creatures, wherever you are— everything and everyone made by God. And you, O my soul, bless God!

Have a Splendiferous Day!!
I finally got some (stay with me here, I am talking about stamps)! Well, only three. My mom placed an order through A Muse Art Stamps and asked me if I wanted to see if there was anything I could "use". Ha!! I checked the website and found some stuff I NEEDED! I finally got one of those skinny oval stamps, so that I could "ground" some of my images. Then I saw this cute little bear (Audrie found him actually and MADE me get him--she's 3). And what stamp collection would be complete without that cute sentiment--Have a Splendiferous Day!?!?! Too cute and very versatile. So with this card, I am trying to follow a "less is more" mantra that a lot of the A Muse stamps are famous for. However not quite hitting the mark as well as my very first stamping idol, Julie Ebersole--JulieHRR on Splitcoast (she is also an A Muse Designer)! I love the simplicity of it, but I am SO not used to open white space!! I am usually a "crammer"!!! All in all, being my first time to use their line of stamps, I loved the quickness of it and the colors I used (cool caribbean--can you tell it's a fave right now?--and pretty in pink). I highly recommend everyone at least trying it once--get used to that open white space, just for fun! It really gets you to thinking about balance in your cards, that's for sure! Next post coming up--a fab-o hardly imagined wonderful color combo you have to see to believe!!! Until next time---Have a Splendiferous Day!!!

SPIN BOLDAK, Afghanistan — 1st Lt. Matthew Small is currently serving overseas as a supply officer with Combined Task Force 1ST Battalion, 6TH Field Artillery Regiment, 3rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, at Forward Operating Base Spin Boldak, Afghanistan.
As the supply officer, Small, ensures the FOB is provided with the proper equipment and materials essential to maintaining effective and efficient operations.
What many people do not his how he spends his free time outside of his duties.
Small is an avid runner and with the support of his wife, Alisa, and his family and friends back home in southern Indiana, he has made the decision to run approximately 1,000 miles while deployed.
When Matthew's mother, Rita Small, first heard about his son's objective, she knew that she had to get onboard right away and support Matthew in every way she could. 1
"Leave it to my Mom to take a simple goal I've started and turn it into a community wide event. It's incredible the support they're [family and friends] are giving me," Small said.
In an effort to spread the news about her son's goal, Rita created a Facebook page titled "Miles with Matt".
Mrs. Small's enthusiasm is obvious by her motivation to walk 1,000 miles herself while her son is deployed.
She also supports family members and friends to do the same. On the Facebook page, Mrs. Small states, "While protecting our freedom, he [Matthew] has set a goal to run 1,000 miles before returning home. I decided I wanted to support him by setting my goal to 'walk' 1000 miles. It's the least I can do to show my support and get healthy at the same time."
Members of the "Miles with Matt" Facebook group post updates daily about their progress towards walking or running 1,000 miles during the time Matthew is deployed. In turn, Small makes weekly updates on the Facebook page addressing his progress in pursuit of 1,000 miles.
"Their [Matthew's friends] support is a huge factor in keeping me going. It's incredible, it's awesome, what they have shown my family," Small said, sharing his mothers enthusiasm.
In recent weeks, the support for Small's efforts has grown so much that local news stations have started tracking his progress.
Matthew summed it all up by saying, "I'd like to tell everyone back in the states to keep up all the hard work, I'm seeing all the posts on Facebook and it's great!"
1st Lt. Small's progress can be tracked on the "Miles with Matt" Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/MileswithMatt/.
As of Aug. 26, he has run a total of 419 miles. A walking group meets at South Spencer High School in Rockport, Indiana, Saturday mornings at 8 a.m. to walk and show their support for Matthew.

The European Commission has approved a list of articles prohibited on passenger aircrafts, which is effective in the EU member states. The list includes articles and substances, which are either strictly forbidden to be carried on civil aviation aircrafts or permitted under special conditions.
Moreover, the above document of the European Commission and national aviation security programme provides that aviation security officers are authorized to add other seemingly innocent articles or substances to this category and forbid carrying them aboard the aircraft.
All articles and substances, which can be used for attack or defence and can pose a risk to the security/safety of flight and the health or life of persons, are defined as prohibited articles. Such seemingly innocent items as a pocket knife, a lighter shaped like a firearm, skateboards, skates, different souvenirs, which can be used for physical injury, and even alcoholic drinks stronger than 70% fall into this category. The majority of articles included in the list are permitted to be carried in the checked baggage.
If during security control a prohibited item is found on your person or in your baggage, you may be prosecuted under Administrative or Civil Code of Latvia Republic.
If there is no ground for criminal and / or civil prosecution and the other circumstances permit that, the passenger may be allowed to:
- consult with the airline for possible assistance in placing the prohibited article/substance in the checked baggage;
- return to check-in area and carry the article/substance to his/her car or otherwise dispose of it;
- voluntarily place the item in the prohibited items' container at the security checkpoint.
To avoid misunderstandings and conflicts during security control we recommend:
- to place in your hand baggage just those items, which you will need during the flight;
- to consult the carrier's agent concerning the prohibited items while purchasing your ticket, because the airline is authorized to impose additional restrictions on the prohibited articles/substances aboard their aircrafts;
- before checking-in, have a look at the prohibited items' information posters which are displayed in the check-in area.
According to the rules of Uzbekistan Airways and the Civil Aviation Agency of Uzbekistan the passengers travelling on Uzbekistan Airways flights are prohibited to carry safety matches and cigarette lighters on board the aircraft.
Latvian Civil and Criminal Code envisage the following measures of punishment in case of infringement of regulations
Making a deliberately false statement concerning placing an explosive, toxic, radioactive or bacteriological substance or material or explosive device into an institution, enterprise or other facility or placing it outside an institution, enterprise or any other facility - may be condemned to: up to five years in prison or arrest; or a fine may imposed of up to 100 monthly salaries/ Criminal Code – clause 231/
Unauthorized transporting of highly flammable items or substances by air may be condemned to - up to two years imprisonment or arrest; or a fine can be imposed of up to 50 monthly salaries.
The same activities, if they have resulted in heavy consequences can be condemned to – imprisonment from 3 till 10 years / Criminal Code – clause 247/
In case of infringement of regulations concerning transporting of hazardous items or substances by air – a fine can be applied of up to 350 EUR and confiscation of the above mentioned items and substances. /Civil Code – clause 112/
We remind you that smoking is prohibited at the airport's passenger terminal
Smoking at the terminal and airport territory is allowed only in designated sites.

An Interview with Una Kravets →
Una Kravets:
…a lot of time people hear these new terms in the dev world and they get kind of worried because the more people are talking about them the more it seems like everybody is using them and you're just behind. But really, people are just talking about new things because they're new. Making that distinction is kind of freeing because you realize that it's okay to not have all the answers immediately and take a second to understand why people are using something instead of jumping in because it's "the new hotness."
Just one of the gems from this interview. I recommend it.

The major networks are knee-deep in up-front presentations, and Fox has decided to keep one of its former hits on life support for at least one more season.
TV Line reports Sleepy Hollow will survive for a fourth season, after seeing its ratings and critical love pretty much crater over the past two years. As fans are well aware, the writers killed off original cast member Nicole Beharie, who played Abbie Mills, as part of a larger cast shake-up that pretty much leaves Tom Mison's Ichabod to pick up the pieces in Season 4. Hey, they did say seven years of tribulation, right?
Fox confirms that the cast list for Season 4 will include Mison (duh), along with Lyndie Greenwood (Jenny Mills), Lance Gross (Daniel Reynolds) and Jessica Camacho (Sophie Foster). Losing Beharie will certainly change things up in the fall, though you have to wonder how much the show might suffer by losing the chemistry between her and Mison. For what it's worth, the producers teased that "reflections" of Abbie could linger into Season 4. Whatever that means.
With the ratings down, and the writers going gutsy by killing off Abbie, it seemed possible (if not somewhat likely) Fox might decide to call it quits. But there's apparently a bit more life left in this supernatural tale. Here's hoping Season 4 can start to recapture the magic from the fantastic first season.
Are you still watching Sleepy Hollow? Will you give it a second chance, if not?
* See that pic above? Most of those people are no longer on the show. Just FYI.

Two months ago, we discussed the potential effects of falling oil prices on the shale boom in "Falling oil prices test shale boom." Since then, prices have continued to drop in the worldwide oil market.
In reaction, OPEC members met, but could not reach agreement on, production cuts. The largest producer in OPEC (Saudi Arabia) appears comfortable with having oil prices settle in the $60 per barrel range. As prices have dropped, additional sources of oil other than from shale have come on line. For example, offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico – which had been under a moratorium following the Horizon disaster in 2010 – has picked up once again, with several companies announcing substantial new finds of oil.
Accordingly, it appears that oil producers and those who supply and service them will be facing an extended period (at least several years) of lower prices. The prospect of sustained lower prices has important potential implications for many industry participants, both large and small, as well as for the larger economy. Those industry participants who are heavily indebted or whose production assets are high cost will likely suffer disproportionately. For well-capitalized players, however, the drop in prices may eventually create an attractive buying opportunity to acquire valuable assets at bargain prices. A sustained drop in oil prices may also ultimately impact the attractiveness of other energy industry investments, such as natural gas and renewable energy sources.
However, it appears that for many industry veterans, the longer-term perspective is that oil prices will eventually recover, and that the shale oil boom will continue as a major long-term factor in world oil markets. While some drilling cutbacks have been announced for 2015, those reductions appear limited at this time and focused primarily on oil-driven plays. Drilling in shale formations where the primary focus is on natural gas and natural gas liquids appears to be continuing at current levels.
While the current drop in oil prices may hurt some players, it does not appear that it, as yet, represents a significant threat to the overall shale drilling boom. Difficulties encountered by some industry players may not be suffered in an equal fashion across the broader industry. Those focused on natural gas and natural gas liquids will likely feel only minor pain from the drop in oil prices, and may even benefit from lower drilling rig costs. Those who are well-positioned for the long-term will likely have their investments handsomely rewarded, and should focus on staying the course during this turbulent period.

Astronomer finds meteorite pieces in Gold Country
(04-26) 12:00 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- Searchers near historic Sutter's Mill have discovered fragments of the meteorite that exploded high in the sky at sunrise last Sunday.
Petrus Jenniskens, the same NASA astronomer who trekked across the Nubian desert four years ago to recover fragments of a small asteroid and bring them home, said Wednesday he had found fragments of the space object on the asphalt parking lot of Henningsen Lotus Park, located in the small town of Lotus in El Dorado County.
A fragment, he said, had fallen on an asphalt road in the parking lot and was crushed into smaller fragments by a car that ran over it.
"This meteor itself must have been big," Jenniskens said, "probably in the kiloton range. But now we need to find more fragments so we can begin to understand how it broke apart and what was inside it."
A team of searchers from the NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View has been searching this week and will continue Thursday, Jenniskens said.
"Now we're hoping that anyone who has any videos or amateur photos of the explosion itself will contact us so we can begin to understand the meteor's trajectory before it exploded.
Anyone with images of the explosion can contact Jenniskens at firstname.lastname@example.com.

America is becoming obese at an alarming rate. We are eating more food (and often food that does not provide real health benefits) and exercising less or getting no exercise at all. Our health is in steep decline and doctor and hospital visits are at all time highs. If you start to walk 10 000 steps a day you can begin to turn that around.
Diet and lack of exercise are contributing to many diseases that are plaguing American Society: heart and cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, stroke, out of control blood sugar levels, diabetes, obesity, and more. Many of us do not achieve the minimum recommendation of the U.S. Surgeon General of getting at least 20-30 minutes of moderate activity each day.

RCA Records were unsure if America was ready for the sexual androgyny of 'Boys Keep Swinging', the lead-off single from Lodger in most territories, so they released 'Look Back in Anger' instead. The B-side was 'Repetition', another 'Lodger' track, a story of domestic violence. The single failed to chart.
David Mallet directed the music video for the song, featuring Bowie in an artist's studio. The scenario was based on the conclusion of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, as a self-portrait of the protagonist grows more handsome while he himself physically decays.

Slow Cooker Pizza:
1 pre made dough (your neighborhood grocery store should have some in the bakery area)
Sauce of preference
Vegan cheese
Toppings of choice
Olive oil, to grease the crockpot dish
To prepare your dough, create a surface to roll your dough. An oiled cutting board is perfect, lay your dough out, form into a ball, cut ball in half, wrap one half in Saran Wrap and place in fridge until ready to use (it'll store for a few days, save and make pizza another night), and roll the other half of dough into an oval shape to fit your crockpot. Afterward, place dough in crockpot and top with your favorite toppings, I like good ol vegan cheese pizza with a little bit of Brazil nut pesto. Sauce up the dough, throw some vegan cheese on top, then drizzle some pesto on top with a little bit of homemade crumbled seitan; but you can do as you please. Cover your crockpot with a clean tea towel, or a layer of paper towels, then place the crockpot lid on top to secure towel and prevent it from touching your food and prevents your crust from getting solid and turning into a dumpling instead of being baked and crusty. Set crockpot to high and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hrs. Let cool for 10 and serve with a nice little salad! Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

OHSAS 18001 Health & Safety Management
What is OHSAS 18001:2007?
OHSAS 18001 is generally accepted to all intents and purposes as the most robust Occupational Health and Safety Management System available to companies.
OHSAS 18001 was originally prepared as a proposed ISO standard but it has never had the formal recognition as a national or international standard. Despite this OHSAS is internationally accepted as the Health and Safety equivalent as what ISO 9001 is to Quality and ISO 14001 is to the Environment. In fact OHSAS 18001 was developed in response to a demand to a Health and Safety Management System that can be integrated with 9001 and 14001.
OHSAS 18001 is changing to become ISO 45001
ISO 45001:2016 is the new international standard for occupational health and safety (OHS) management systems and will replace the existing OHSAS 18001:2007 standard.
See the latest revision update
Join our LinkedIn group and keep up-to-date with the latest news on the new occupational health & safety management system, ISO 45001.
Why OHSAS 18001?
With the introduction of the 2005 Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act Irish employers are being placed under increased pressures to manage their activities in an approach that effectively maintains a safer workplace by anyone affected by their activities or operations. This includes contractors, customers, visitors and the public. Considerable fines and in extreme circumstances jail terms are now penalties
that employers can face from poor Health and Safety Management. The 2005 SHWW Act places the legal responsibility for Health and Safety firmly on the shoulders of top management and then allows this accountability to filter through the chain of command.
Currently further pressures are being placed on companies from large customers, suppliers, government and corporate bodies to effectively demonstrate a capable Safety Management System.
In today's environment this is even more evident with increased competitiveness in the market companies are turning to Management Systems such as OHSAS18001 as a means for ensuring competence in the companies they do business with as required by the SHWW Act 2005.
Benefits of OHSAS 18001
- Enables increased acceptance by regulators, the general public, and other interested parties.
- Companies that implement and maintain OHSAS 18001 are accepted as being proactive about health and safety and continual improvement.
- Improves business performance. A well designed, well implemented OHSAS health/safety management system can help reduce workplace illness and injury and increase productivity.
- Creates consistency throughout the organization built around "best practices".
- Certification also provides a platform for attracting lower insurance premiums and proving due diligence to the marketplace.
- Allows better identification of hazards and risk management and an overall better awareness of health and safety.
- Place the company in an elite category of business and boosts acceptance and reputation both nationally and internationally. Registration to OHSAS 18001 puts your organization on the identical level of excellence shared by organizations of all kinds worldwide.
- It satisfies the demands of current or prospective customers for registration. Companies certified to OHSAS 18001 have a superior pool of clients that will accept them as competent, perspective businesses.
- Ensures compliance with all current legislation worldwide.
- Improve the efficiency of internal operations. Reduce accidents, danger and downtime and improves safety of all persons affected by the companies activities.
- Improves management oversight. An effective OHSAS health/safety management system incorporates monitoring and measurement of key performance indicators in health/safety. This gives management objective data upon which to base decisions. Internal auditing is an "early warning system" to help you spot health/ safety threats – giving you the chance to address and resolve them before they are detected by others, rather than after.
- Facilitates continual improvement. For many reasons – employee morale, insurance costs, liability, etc.- not to mention simple human concern for the welfare of others – nothing in a business is more important than improving health/safety performance.
- Transforms your operation from detection mode to prevention mode. Prevention is less work and less expense than detection.
With an OHSAS Health/ Safety Management System, you mitigate or eliminate hazards and risks to protect the health and safety of employees and others.
The benefits to Implementing OHSAS 18001 are endless and when implemented correctly it provides the company with an effective tool that will show return on investment. With continued increases in insurance premiums, increased injury claims and spiralling health care costs the question companies need to ask themselves is; can they afford not to implement OHSAS 18001?
We also offer many bespoke Health & Safety Services for Irish companies of all sizes. We can be your Health & Safety Manager, call us today to see what we can offer you.

Purchase 316 Stainless Steel Wedge Anchors
All wedge anchors should be used only in solid concrete. They should not be used in hollow materials such as brick or block.
The holding values of wedge anchors are the same regardless of the material they are manufactured from. Zinc plated carbon steel, hot-dipped galvanized, 303/304 and 316 stainless steel wedge anchors have the same pull-out strength and shear capacity.
The hole drilled in the concrete is equal to the diameter of the 316 stainless steel wedge anchor being installed. A 3/8" wedge anchor requires a 3/8" hole to be drilled in the concrete. Hole to wedge anchor tolerance is critical to obtain proper holding values.
Wedge anchors do not require the bottom of the hole to be set and must be a minimum of 1/2" deeper than the wedge anchor will be embedded. This allows space for any dust that is created during the installation to fall into and stay safely out of the way.
The bit used to drill the hole in the concrete must have a carbide tip, meet ANSI standards and be used in a hammer drill that both rotates and hammers.
316 stainless steel wedge anchors come in different diameters and different lengths. The first number in the description refers to the diameter of the anchor and the second number refers to the length.
Each diameter and length of 316 stainless steel wedge anchor is packaged with the correct number and size of 316 stainless nuts and washers.
As with any anchoring project, it is important to keep safety in mind and follow instructions carefully. Always remember to wear safety goggles, handle all tools with extra care and follow all technical specifications. This article is meant to serve only as a basic explanation of concrete fasteners. Always refer to manufacturer's instructions or consult a contracting expert during any anchoring project.
Article Written By:
Mike Pistorino, Vice-President Operations

One of the most common reasons people give for not exercising is that they're too busy and don't have enough time. People often make time for the things that they think truly matter in life. Once you see some of the biggest consequences of not exercising, your perspective on the importance of exercise may shift and you may suddenly find yourself wanting to spend more time working out and investing in your future health.
In a 2012 series of studies published in the "Lancet" medical journal, researchers reported that one out of every 10 premature deaths around the planet are caused by not exercising. In other words, not exercising kills almost the same number of people as smoking does, and "Time" magazine went so far as to label the situation as a "global pandemic." Specifically in the United States, the American Heart Association's "Circulation" research journal reports that approximately 250,000 deaths every year are caused by not exercising. To counteract these startling numbers, the journal highlights that many studies linking a lack of exercise to premature death recommend that people exercise three days per week for 30 to 60 minutes each day.
Too Bad, So Sad
In a 2013 study published in the "American Journal of Preventive Medicine," researchers reviewed 30 large studies on depression. The researchers found that 25 of those studies confirmed that people who don't exercise have a higher risk of depression. And it's not just depression. If you don't exercise, you may be missing out on the preventative and potentially healing effects of exercise on a wide range of mood disorders. For example, according to the Canadian Mental Health Association, exercise may reduce anxiety, increase your self-esteem and effectively treat mild and moderate depression as effectively as psychotherapy.
Achy, Breaky Bones
When it comes to scientifically measuring the rate of aging, some scientists check how well the mitochondria function within cells. Using this as a measurement standard, a study funded by the Arthritis Foundation found that people who don't do any strength training may actually age faster than people who strength train. Similarly, the National Institutes of Health report that weight-bearing exercises can help preserve bone density as you get older while those who don't do these types of exercise may experience a greater risk of osteoporosis and fractures. And finally, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns that aging adults who don't exercise tend to fall more frequently than adults who exercise. To experience the anti-aging benefits of exercise, the National Institute on Aging recommends doing strength exercises for 30 minutes at least two days a week.
More Sick Days
If you don't exercise, you may have a higher risk of numerous major diseases, warns the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. These include heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer and high blood pressure. But exercise's benefits aren't just linked to "big" diseases and illnesses. In fact, you may catch the flu or the cold more often if you don't exercise. The National Institutes of Health reports that exercise increases how quickly your white blood cells work, may prevent the growth of various sickness-causing bacteria and may help to flush bacteria out of your body.

Sitting in church on a Sunday morning listening to the message I was stopped by that feeling rising within me. I'm talking with you, my daughter…will you listen?
It's every little girls dream to have her daddy walk her down the aisle to her waiting fiancé. Right? I'm not alone in this, am I?
I know.
You can tell I am his daughter – right? Daddy's girl.
Same big brown eyes.
Same head full of thick dark hair.
It doesn't take much to be able to tell I am his daughter. I reflect many of his characteristics.
My dream came true the day he walked me down the aisle to my waiting fiancé.
The picture doesn't tell the whole story though. What you can't see from looking at this photo is that he walked out of my life shortly after the courts took us from his home when I was ten years old. He walked out again after walking me down the aisle.
You can't see that no matter what I desired, he would not pursue me as his daughter. I'm sure he is a good man. But chose not to pursue a relationship with me.
Why wouldn't he choose relationship with me?
I asked – when my daughter was 3 months old. I made a trip to ask him to be involved in her life and in mine. He said his priorities had been messed up. Maybe he wanted to – but didn't seek me out. About three years later I received a call from him but by then I was angry. Heartache is real and grief has a progression of emotions that takes on a life of its own.
Years later in a handwritten, snail mail delivered note I would ask his forgiveness for my anger and the range of emotions I felt towards him over the years. I unexpectedly got a response from him. "Let's try again." Of course I want to try again. It's the longing of my little girl heart & my big girl heart too.
He never followed through with pursuing a relationship with me…his daughter.
A heartache I have carried most of my life.
I wonder if you have carried that same heartache.
Maybe different circumstances than mine – But your heartache has been very real.
3 things that stood our for me as I sat in the chair – absent from the sermon:
1 – God has not left us fatherless. He himself is a Father to the Fatherless. {Psalm 68:5}
2 – God Knew us before He formed us {Psalm 139}
3 – God Chose us {Ephesians 1:4}
As I leaned in to pay attention to the thoughts flowing through my mind, the words came one by one.
Though I have long desired to be loved by the one whose image I clearly reflect, God has not forgotten me. His love and care for me is as real as my desire for a daddy. He knows me and he has not left me alone or without a father. A daddy. It's one thing to read these words and quite another thing to let them sink into who I am and how I view myself.
My Father. Who knew me. Who is my strong tower. Who is my safe place. He is the one whose image I want to reflect. I want you to look at me and see a glimpse of the reflection of my father, God. Because I know Him, because I've spent time with him, because the more I do, the more I reflect His image – without great effort.
I think of the photo of JFK – his son playing at his feet in the Oval Office. As the son of the president he had access unearned. I think in pictures like this one.
God knew me before He formed me in my mothers womb. He granted me access unearned.
I was already a Daddy's Girl.
His Girl Not because of anything I did. And He didn't leave because of anything I did wrong or could have done better. Nothing brings me more peace than this. Nothing helps me settle my anxious heart more than this.
My Dad – I may have his eyes, I may have his hair. But today I can say I reflect something much more beautiful than my earthly Father.
I hope as you look at me you see a glimpse of the resemblance of my Heavenly Father who has loved me since before I took my first breath.
But more than that, if you have faced heartache from not being chosen, from a father walking out of your life, or maybe a father who had stayed but not been present, there is a Holy God who is as close as your breath who made you in His image and longs for you to know just that. I hope as you stand in front of a mirror after reading my words, YOU see in yourself a glimpse of who God is just by the very fact that He created you.
He is your Father. He knows you better than you could ever imagine, your thoughts, your heartaches, your joys, your desires.
And He is pursuing us, you and I. He has and will continue to. He loves you more than you will ever know. Will you sit with these thoughts for a bit to consider whose attractive image you want to reflect?

Most of us have known the fun of an Easter egg hunt. Perhaps when we were children, some older family member made finding the eggs difficult by hiding them in the most unlikely (or most obvious) of places. And if we were especially lucky, the eggs might have had little treasures like candy, trinkets or money hidden inside them. That made finding them even more exciting!
But what if I told you there's another kind of treasure hunt that can make the heart thump even more if we find something particularly special? The name of a previously unknown ancestor, for instance. They could be ordinary folks who tried to live the best way they knew how, or they may have had some kind of importance in history. Perhaps they lived near a site when a famous event took place.
Whoever my ancestors were and whatever they did, it never ceases to excite me when I find new names to add to my family tree. It gives me a pleasant thrill, even if I have no more information than their names. Because our family trees get bigger and bigger the farther back they go, it can be overwhelming at times. But then, I don't think I'd want to reach a complete dead end on every branch and twig because the discovery is what is the most fun. One can find out so much about their own personal background through doing this. To think that if only one of these people had neglected to come together with their partner would mean that we wouldn't be here right now… It makes one humble and grateful.
Personally, I am content with just researching direct ancestors, with an occasional research foray into their siblings if they were particularly interesting. I'm not so much into researching all the lines in my extended family from several hundred years ago. But I know there are many family researchers who enjoy digging this deeply. They are the ones who find even more deeply hidden Easter eggs!
Searching your past family history requires time, effort, and patience. But so much is available at the reach of the internet nowadays, that you basically don't even have to get off the couch to hunt for them. Personal heritage can be much more satisfying than a dozen or so of plastic eggs.
What are some exciting discoveries you've made while delving into your family past?

Lantern - Official Website
II: Morphosis
Review by Tara on March 19, 2017.
Finnish death/black metal masters Lantern return with their second full-length release II: Morphosis, a rather fitting title considering the the band has grown from an eager and enthusiastic duo to a full fledged five piece ensemble. This album has a very overall unique feel and sound that will be pretty hard for anyone else to top in 2017.
If you're familiar with Lantern's Below album, you will immediately take notice to the fact that this is no longer a solely old school death metal inspired band anymore. The mix on Morphosis has a very modern and clean sound but is still able to capture the essence of the old school influence.
Middle of the album tracks three ('Hosting Yellow Fungi') and four ('Cleansing of the Air') are the two stand outs, both effectively showcasing Lantern's ability to play metal that is technical, full of atmosphere, darkness and total despair. They almost blatantly soak themselves in elements of old school death metal but wind up doing so in a way that isn't outdated or interesting. The usage of death metal tremolo, black metal chords and full tilt drumming combined with a thrash metal influenced attack on guitar through leads and intricate accuracy are what make Lantern truly stand out above the rest.
With this just being their second album, Lantern have taken a massive leap into well deserved metal noteriety. It's absolutely amazing to see how they've progressed in such a short amount of time. I won't be surprised if Morphosis makes it into some top 10 of 2017 lists this year!

History: Lancaster chooses its own path
Lancaster Mennonite Conference's divorce from Mennonite Church USA became official Jan. 1. The separation reflects the tensions that have plagued the denomination since its inception, but it says more about the conference than about MC USA.
In fact, as a staunchly conservative conference associated with the former Mennonite Church, Lancaster was even ambivalent about its earlier MC denominational relationships. The conference apparently isn't the marrying kind, having spent all but 46 years of its three centuries of existence as an independent body of believers.
Prior to 1898, there was no Mennonite Church organized as a denomination — only a group of autonomous area conferences joined together by their recognition of each other as fellow members of the faith. Lancaster was the second-oldest of these.
But by the late 19th century, many were calling for a "general conference" of area conference representatives to address matters of common concern and encourage each other. The first one was held in 1898 at Wakarusa, Ind., inaugurating the Mennonite Church.
Lancaster, however, did not participate. It fiercely resisted progressive influences such as mission work, revival meetings and church-sponsored higher education. The new general conference, Lancaster feared, would interfere in the affairs of area conferences and encourage the progressivism the conference was opposing.
Lancaster gradually warmed to mission work, supporting Mennonite Board of Missions' efforts in India, which started in 1899. In fact, two of MBM's first three workers, W.B. Page and J.A. Ressler, were conference natives. But the wariness remained, and Lancaster's bishops developed a laundry list of complaints. Among them:
- Too many missionaries were educated at Goshen College, considered by conservatives to be a bastion of corrupting liberality.
- Indian men converts were wearing mustaches, and the women weren't wearing prayer coverings.
- MBM workers were consorting too much with missionaries from other denominations, including holding joint evangelistic services.
- It was "unwise to use resources to educate people who had not yet accepted the gospel."
Such concerns led Lancaster to start its own overseas work, sending its first workers to Tanzania in 1934 under the auspices of the conference's Eastern Mennonite Board of Missions and Charities (now Eastern Mennonite Missions), which up to that point had undertaken only home missions. With foreign and domestic programs, Eastern Board, as it was popularly known, would grow in size to rival MBM.
Lancaster would enjoy virtually all the privileges of denominational membership, despite never formally joining the Mennonite Church. That changed in 1971, when, as part of a massive reorganization, the Mennonite Church made Lancaster (and Franconia and Virginia, which also had never joined) part of the denomination. The conference accepted the new relationship even though there was no "widespread enthusiasm for it," according to historian John L. Ruth.
Some Lancaster members, however, were more broad-minded. Orie O. Miller, the longtime Mennonite Central Committee CEO and Eastern Board administrator, was instrumental in creating Mennonite Mutual Aid (now Everence). And Paul Kraybill, another Eastern Board executive, was the first MC general secretary after its 1971 restructuring.
Contributing to Lancaster's ambivalence was simply its size. It has long been by far the largest area conference in the United States, with sizable staff and its own mission and service agency. Lancaster functioned in many ways as a denomination; affiliation added organizational complexity.
Lancaster's doubts about its MC affiliation were evident in its handling of the Confession of Faith in a Mennonite Perspective, adopted in 1995 by the Mennonite Church and General Conference Mennonite Church. Uncomfortable with the new document's positions on women in leadership and on divorce and remarriage, the conference affirmed it but nevertheless allowed its congregations to instead use more conservative MC confessions from 1921 or 1963 as they saw appropriate.
When MC USA was born in 2001, all MC and GC area conferences had to decide whether to join. While all eventually did, Lancaster was one of the last when it did so in 2004. But in a move similar to the earlier Confession of Faith provision, the conference allowed its congregations to be members of Lancaster but not the denomination.
Since then, the denomination has been waylaid by disagreements over sexuality, church membership and ministerial leadership. Lancaster, already with little deep connection to the denomination and willing to act independently of it, was unhappy with how MC USA has handled the issues. The conference announced in late 2015 that it would withdraw by the end of 2017.

A team of students and faculty from the University of Virginia School of Engineering created a prototype design of a solar powered wheelchair with retractable panels inspired by the idea from a man with cerebral palsy from Turkey. Their goal was to create a prototype of a solar powered wheelchair with retractable panels for individuals with lower extremity or mobility disabilities, spinal cord injury, or cerebral palsy. The Solar Powered Team (SPT) created the prototype using a Shoprider 6Runner wheelchair. They built a structured frame around the base of the wheelchair to hold the solar panels. Three solar panels were attached to a convertible-like structure which rotates back behind the wheelchair. If you're thinking of experimenting with solar power, take a look at this trojan battery distributor.

GE CIO Jamie Miller: IT Heroes Wanted
A finance domain expert by training, General Electric's Jamie Miller has worked hard to transform IT since becoming senior vice president and CIO in 2013. Today, she's upgrading GE's IT capabilities and leveraging them to amplify business strategy.
As a large-enterprise CIO, you may be called upon to upgrade long-neglected IT infrastructure and platforms, drive process automation on the factory floor, or revamp the IT operating model in response to a change in business strategy. But you are far less likely to oversee all of those efforts simultaneously, and on a massive, global scale—unless, of course, you are Jamie Miller, senior vice president and CIO for General Electric (GE).
Miller addressed a group of aspiring CIOs at Deloitte University in June on how to effectively deliver value in such a complex and challenging role. Under Miller's leadership, GE's IT function currently supports over 300,000 employees working in 175 countries. (GE ranks No. 8 on the Fortune 500, with 2014 revenues of $149 billion.) Perhaps even more significant, Miller's tenure as CIO—she was appointed in March 2013 after five years in GE Finance—coincides with a dramatic shift in the company's overarching business strategy, away from financial services and toward inventing the next industrial era (a return to its roots). Most of the strategic initiatives she currently leads—related to GE's mobile and cloud transformation, intense focus on data and analytics, and "Brilliant Factories," for example—are in service of that shift in strategy.
Her calm demeanor and cool delivery defy the magnitude and complexity of her role. Far from being daunted, Miller states with conviction that there has never been a better time to be in IT and to be a CIO. "CIOs today can define how business gets done by setting the vision, leading the transformation, and driving growth and innovation. We can be heroes—at a time when the world needs more heroes."
On Leading From Your Domain
Having honed her career in technical accounting, Miller readily acknowledges she knew little about IT before assuming the CIO role, but is a quick study with a huge bias for action. Today, she is "leading from her domain" to elevate IT within GE as a function that drives real business impact. In addition to finance, Miller's strengths include her deep knowledge of GE's businesses and products, and her relationships with business leaders and the finance community.
So, on the one hand, Miller is reducing operating costs by systematically closing data centers, migrating to the cloud, decommissioning apps, drastically reducing ERP systems (GE now has 160 in service, down from 584), and more. She is also using her formidable financial prowess with GE's business leaders to illustrate the need to invest in IT. "Position IT as a function that amplifies the business strategy, explain how to invest for ROI, and funding will follow," Miller advises.
On Remixing Sourcing
Until recently, GE's Corporate IT team oversaw cyber security, new technologies, and employee experience, infrastructure, and global systems like finance and HR, with control for the rest left up to each business.
But that approach is changing along with GE's portfolio mix, which, while still diverse, increasingly comprises businesses that all have much in common at their core: They are long-cycle businesses that encompass selling and servicing large industrial equipment.
From an IT perspective, effectively and efficiently servicing this portfolio will require some "remixing" in sourcing, with an explicit preference for insourcing, following Miller's realization that excessive reliance on outsourcing had undermined IT's importance and diminished the IT capabilities upon which GE's future depends. Additionally, GE will be leveraging the similarities across its businesses to develop centrally, and then push out enterprisewide the IT vision, best practices, and the like that serve each part while also strengthening the whole.
Bringing along businesses that may be reluctant to make the requisite investments in IT takes a carrot-and-stick approach. "When we had problems, our contractors sometimes knew more than we did," she says. "We cannot live that way. Our businesses need to invest in developing great IT talent. We need deep technical domain, and we'll get it, in part, by making it cost-neutral to the businesses." To that end, they are now hiring experts with skills in key areas such as data and analytics, cloud, mobility, cyber security, and software and manufacturing technologies, as well as investing in development programs to create the next generation of contemporary IT leaders.
On Inventing the Future
In the earliest days of her tenure, Miller met with all her key internal stakeholders, including the CEOs and CIOs of every business and certain operations leaders. She also went outside GE, meeting with peer CIOs and with venture capital firms and software companies in Silicon Valley. Only then did she and her team craft a strategy, which they now regularly communicate to her organization.
These days, Miller is focused on honing the delivery mechanism—on monitoring and maintaining applications and infrastructure, DevOps (facilitated by the move to cloud), and network strategy (compelled by cyber considerations).
Business leaders are noticing the changes taking place in GE IT. "They feel the movement," says Miller. "They see investments in data, cloud, and employee experience. They see more IT talent in GE's DNA. They see an organization that's more outcomes-driven." Meanwhile, GE's cloud strategy, data-as-a-service approach, and Brilliant Factory, among other initiatives, are attracting external attention to GE as an IT innovator.
And a new phrase is creeping into the vernacular at GE: Start small, but start now.

fanotify: fix handling of events on child sub-directory
commit b469e7e47c8a075cc08bcd1e85d4365134bdcdd5 upstream. When an event is reported on a sub-directory and the parent inode has a mark mask with FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD|FS_ISDIR, the event will be sent to fsnotify() even if the event type is not in the parent mark mask (e.g. FS_OPEN). Further more, if that event happened on a mount or a filesystem with a mount/sb mark that does have that event type in their mask, the "on child" event will be reported on the mount/sb mark. That is not desired, because user will get a duplicate event for the same action. Note that the event reported on the victim inode is never merged with the event reported on the parent inode, because of the check in should_merge(): old_fsn->inode == new_fsn->inode. Fix this by looking for a match of an actual event type (i.e. not just FS_ISDIR) in parent's inode mark mask and by not reporting an "on child" event to group if event type is only found on mount/sb marks. [backport hint: The bug seems to have always been in fanotify, but this patch will only apply cleanly to v4.19.y] Cc: <email@example.com> # v4.19 Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <firstname.lastname@example.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <email@example.com> [amir: backport to v4.9] Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <email@example.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <email@example.com>

Lately, I tend to start every blog post with an apology over how long it's been since I've written. Apparently, I'm doing it again. But that's OK, because it has been a long time. That may or may not change, we'll see. But for now I'm writing and you're reading and that, my friends, is a beautiful thing.
2014 has been a great year for me. It's not quite time for that End-of-Year post, but given all that has gone on, I wanted to put words to what has happened so far, for those of you who don't speak to me regularly, for those of you who don't speak to me at all, and for myself. Because it's good to get it all down and it's nice to have a record of things that I can look back on. For personal reasons, I've never kept a diary. This is the closest thing I've got. Even though it's public. Even though literally anyone can read it, friend or foe. Even though it might not mean much to most. It's mine. And it's yours, too. The words I share here I share in the truest sense of the word. I give them to you as I've given words to many others over the years. Sometimes they are the best gift I can give.
Words are powerful, as a weapon, as a tool, as a gift. Words can convey loss, hope, fear, remorse, sympathy, and any of the other emotions that make up the human condition. These words are given with joy, gratitude, and more optimism than I can ever recall feeling.
I'm engaged to an amazing man. The man of my dreams. I mean that quite literally. I didn't have the best home life growing up. Part of what got me through it was the hours upon hours spent telling myself that someday things would be different. Someday someone would love me, value me for who I was (weirdness, horror fandom, eccentricity and all), want to be with me and me alone. It might seem silly or sad, but that was and always has been my greatest dream.
And it came true. A little over 3 years ago, I met the man I'm going to marry. He's everything I could have ever hoped for and more. He's my partner. My partner in crime. My partner in business. My partner in life. He's my dearest friend, my closest ally, my most enthusiastic supporter. He's also an amazing human being with a fantastic sense of humor, an unending well of kindness and generosity, and one of the most useful people I've ever met. He is, unquestioningly, the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. I can't believe I get to marry him. For the first time in my life, I have a home and a family and all the love and support I could ever need. It's just as wonderful as I always dreamed it would be.
Also in 2014, my 4-plus year long legal battle finally came to an end. After years of struggling, throwing thousands of dollars I didn't have at a problem that seemingly wouldn't go away, and being reduced to tears of frustration, I am finally free. I can move on now. I can put the mistakes of my past behind me without any fear that they'll come back to bite me someday. It may have taken more time and money than I would have liked, but in the end it was worth it. There is no price too great to pay for one's freedom.
I'm working on a pretty amazing project, too. I'm having so much fun writing this thing. Even things like writers' block and random plot issues aren't detracting from how thrilled I am to be part of this. I just know it's going to be great and I really hope everyone enjoys reading it as much as I'm enjoying writing it.
Last (but certainly not least), my battle with cancer is at an end. It seems weird to refer to it as a battle, when much of what I did was lying still: for tests, for treatments, for IVs and exams and follow ups and specialist visits. And I was extremely lucky. My experience with cancer hasn't been nearly as horrible, long, or painful as what many people end up with. The last round of test results were good, as were the set before that. I didn't say anything after the first set to anyone outside my immediate circle of friends and family because I was worried that one good result might be a fluke and I didn't want anyone else on that horrible roller coaster of "Hooray I'm cured!" "Oh, wait, not really." But now I can conclusively say that there are no cancer cells remaining in my body. Even better, the rate of recurrence for the types of cancer I had are low, less than 25%.
This isn't my Happy Ending, it's a happy beginning.

OK, you're brushing your teeth as usual but this time, when you spit, you notice a bit of pink in the spittle. While it might not seem like a big deal, it actually is. One of the first signs of early gum disease, called gingivitis, is bleeding in the gums, often noticed during brushing. Other signs include consistent bad breath and receding gums.
Obviously, the first thing you need to do if you notice the above in your own life, is to call our Lower Manhattan dental office and schedule an appointment. We're pros at controlling and conquering periodontal disease before it leads to tooth loss. After a thorough dental exam, we'll create a plan of action to get you back to dental health.
Prevention of gum disease is, however, the best route, inasmuch as I assume you'd like to avoid the "pink in the sink" phenomenon. If you follow these suggestions, I promise you a healthier dental profile!
- Stay away from tobacco! That includes vaping and other forms of tobacco use.
- Call us when you start a new prescription, as some meds contribute to gum disease.
- Buy an oral flossing machine and use it every day!
- Learn how to brush properly. Ask us or, faster, check out YouTube for videos
- Use mouthwash that doesn't contain alcohol.
- Stay away from sweets
- Keep your twice-a-year appointments
To your health & beauty,
Jeffrey Shapiro, DDS, PC and Glenn Chiarello, DDS

I know there is a bunch of fans of the PBS show Sesame Street even at the age of thirteen and fifteen. This is going to be the last video lesson that is going to be based on some wonderfully fantastic Sesame Street figures. I found this video on "how to draw the Cookie Monster", and I love how the artist kept things real colorful and simple at the same time. I didn't find it hard at all to follow what he was doing, and because of this I know you guys will think this drawing video is a breeze to follow as well. I hope you enjoy watching how to draw Cookie Monster.
