Orthomads: A deterministic MADS instance with orthogonal directions The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new way of choosing directions for the mesh adaptive direct search (Mads) class of algorithms. The advantages of this new OrthoMads instantiation of Mads are that the polling directions are chosen deterministically, ensuring that the results of a given run are repeatable, and that they are orthogonal to each other, which yields convex cones of missed directions at each iteration that are minimal in a reasonable measure. Convergence results for OrthoMads follow directly from those already published for Mads, and they hold deterministically, rather than with probability one, as is the case for LtMads, the first Mads instance. The initial numerical results are quite good for both smooth and nonsmooth and constrained and unconstrained problems considered here.

no Christians pray to Jesus and the Virgin Mary. i don't think protestants pray to Mary or they believe something different about her.

These days email tends to eat up a great deal of our working time. A lot of articles on the internet deal with being a slave of email, email overflow, or on how to cope with too much email.
As a reaction to all this email came the initiatives of Luis Suarez : giving up work email, where he tried to get the weekly number of incoming emails down to zero, or the email brevity challenge of Jennifer Leggio who encourages everybody to limit the email body to the length of a tweet : 140 characters.
All this email means only one thing : enterprises 2.0 are still rare ! If you work in an enterprise with no social tools, email is all you have got. And as the saying goes : "if you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail".
But it is hard to get an enterprise from 1.0 to 2.0. You have to break down some silos, as is discribed in this article from Connectbeam.
Anyway, the enterprise I work in is still in its 1.0 phase. Everybody only uses emal, phones and, yes,can you believe, still a lot of printed paper to distribute reports !!
So this week I realized that in our company there exists a little tool that permits instant messaging. It is not as good as, say, MSN, but for short instant messages it does the job.
As only a few are aware of the existence of this tool, you can imagine how my colleagues are surprised receiving instant messages in stead of short emails. And I hope it is contagious.
In the meantime I began to clean up my inbox an "sent" folder and also got to arranging my "knowledge" in a personal wiki (wiki-on-a-stick). My ultimate goal is, when I leave the office at the end of the day, to have my inbox empty !
I wonder if I will keep up the discipline ! But I know it is worth the effort, since everything will be so much easier afterwards.
What I am already accomplishing is not to let it grow any more. An important first step. And from time to time a little cleanup ensures that my email heap diminishes.

The team consisted of leader Tim Grant, Peter Stott, Doug and Penny Orford, Derek Harris (from Swanage) and Ted and Helen Stevens (for whom this was their first Mission Trip). Before leaving the team received a prophetic word that we were like pieces
on a chess board; all different, all having a part to play, all unique but that together we would achieve all that God was sending
us to do. This was to prove an accurate word for a trip that was to stretch us and enlarge us both spiritually and emotionally.
The Mission's focus was on Christian Marriage and a series of seminars and conferences had been organised both for pastors/leaders and for churchmembers in Kampala and Lugolole (near Jinja) in Uganda and Kitale in Kenya.
Ted headed up the marriage talks and it was obvious from the outset that Kingdom principles on marriage run counter to many practices in the African culture. Question and answer sessions were lively and informative and wefelt that we had begun to lay a foundational framework of Godly principles. There is still a long way to go - we in the West have not 'got it all right' where marriage and family is concerned. The important thing is that every teaching must be based on the Word of God.
In Lugolole a pastor's daughter was gang-raped during our visit by men who believe that this act will cure them of HIV/AIDS. The team went to the hospital and while Helen and Penny comforted and prayed with the girl therest of the team were invited to pray in the wards with every single patient. They laid hands on lepers, expectant mothers, babies and children and every person there listened as Tim spoke of God's love and salvation. Jeremiah 29 v 11-14 "For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord,
"plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future" became the scripture of the trip. Even in this tragedy God had the last word and brought good out of evil.
We helped the church in Kitale in feeding the street boys and visited the widows and orphans in a settlement camp which had been set up two years ago following the Kenyan conflict and helped to distribute food and clothing. We were humbled by the grace shown by these widows and moved to tears by their testimonies of persecution and hardship.
In Kampala Derek and Peter prayed for a lady we had seen in previous years who had a blind eye and she was instantly healed and her sight restored - Praise God!
Evening crusades were held in Kampala, Lugolole and Kitale. Many hundreds came each night and heard Tim preach the word of God. We prayed for the sick and many testified to their healing and approximately 300 people received Jesus as their Saviour and received salvation.
The monsoon rains came one month early just as we arrived in Uganda. There is a saying there that if the rains come unexpectedly when visitors arrive then they have brought a blessing with them. We as team members were certainly blessed and inspired by this mission trip, and above all by having received renewed confirmation of our God's faithfulness.

Hello Whooper san, I acquired the guitar from an e - bay auction in the US. The seller was the second owner. He acquired the guitar from the son of the original owner who apparently acquired it in 1964 or 1965 while on a business trip in Madrid, Spain. It's a very nice instrument and it is in remarkably good condition. I have seen one other instrument almost identical to it in a recent e - bay auction in the US, but with much more wear.Whooper wrote:Hi riffmeister san,
Yours is very rare. From where did you get this, in a Japanese net auction or another channel?

The first evening we walked out onto the beach. They had these long rock piers where there were fishermen
The great thing about getting your luggage lost is buying new clothes. Luckily there was an H&M across the street from our hotel
Walking back from the beach I tried out some slow shutter speed
These cute kids saw me taking a picture and posed for me
Tapas- delicious, interesting food. I loved the Spanish tortilla's which are more like cornmeal and egg quiche and they have all kinds of stuff in them
I've never had a sink that I could brush my teeth and watch my toes wiggle at the same time. This was a Marriott
Our hotel overlooked this vast area of empty buildings to the left and you can see the beach to the right. There was so much fog it was hard to see the water
The next two dasy we took the hop on/ hop off bus and stopped where we wanted. That is one of our favorite ways to tour in any major city
The first stop was Gaudi's Familia Sagrada still under construction. It was his life's work
I had to pick up a Spanish fan
We took a funicular up to Mount Tibidabo. We had a great lunch there with an amazing view. You can see Familia Sagrado in the distance
Spanish Tile
Some of the most unique windows I have ever seen on a building
Another of Gaudi's buildings
The main square
Barcelona has a beautiful marina and beach front area
These are the empty building below our hotel window. One tour guide told me the government built them and they were a huge waste and not used for anything now.
Our hotel had an interesting roof top pool
This was better pizza than I had in Rome
There were lots of pedestrian streets all over with shops in the bottom and apartments above.
The Barcelona Cathedral is Gothic
We went inside on Sunday while they were having services. It's gorgeous
They had modern art all over the city
Even the graffiti was beautifully done
The west side of Barcelona
Overlooking the harbor. We really should be taking a Mediterranean cruise but alas, David can't spare the time from work
We took a tram up to the top of Montjuic
This is Barcelona's formidable fort- Castel de Montjuic
This is my favorite- Boys can't resist the big guns!
Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea
I love the new HDR feature on my Mark III
Lots of tourists here. The soccer stadium
Palau de Nacional or National Palace
An old bull figting ring they have turned into shopping. I guess there are still bull fights in Madrid but they are banned in Barcelona
Lots of bikes but mostly motor bikes
We paid big money to go see Tablao- supposedly the best Flamenco show in Spain. The buffet was Catalan food and it was really good
It was well worth the money
The dancers were amazing! The crowd is small so we got front row seating
Absolutely fabulous
The next day I took a 3 country trip while David was at the conference. It went to Spain, France and Andorra
First we stopped at the medieval town of Baga in Spain
It was wonderful
The poppies were out. It reminded me of Denmark but there weren't quite as many
Then we drive into Southern France
We visited the Fort of Mont Louis but they wouldn't let us in because it's a working military fort so I took pictures of the horses
From the fort area looking into Mont Louis
It seemed to also be medieval. This was the church
Driving through Spain
Coming into Andorra, a country I don't remember hearing about, but it is a small country between France and Spain
It's high in the Pyrenees Mountains and relatively isolated. It is a very small country- only about 180 square miles. It's a cheap place to shop for the French and the Spanish and so is thriving on tourism
Some of our group went shopping while the rest of us drove up the mountain to a beautiful lake. Andorra is independent but shared by France and Spain. One year they pay taxes to France and the next year to Spain. France takes care of their military needs and Spain other needs.
It reminded my a little of driving the Amalfi Coast
We stopped at a little restaurant by the lake
It was called "Lady of the Lake". And then it took us about 4 hours to get back to Barcelona because we got stuck at a gas station who's computers were down. I really enjoyed the tour though. I got to know everyone pretty well and it was a long day but a nice one
On the last day we took a tour which included a train ride up to Montserrat which means serrated mountain
We had some great views of the city below
There was a cute little girl sitting across from us taking pictures as we went up the mountain
Once at the top its a whole different world. It was originally a monastery that was raised when Napoleon came through as he was trying to destroy the culture
I thought this sculpture of Patron St. George fitting since I was born in St. George
Looking at the East end of the of the courtyard of Montserrat
On the West end they have the Benedictine Abbey, Santa Maria de Montserrat. Montserrat is now host to Europe's oldest children's choirs, La Escolania de Montserrat.
Inside is the "Black Virgin". Its an important pilgrimage site for Spain and people come from all over and wait in line to touch the Virgin. It was about an hour wait when we were there and so we opted out of that one.
Instead we took a hike on a trail that had some great views of the buildings
The end of this trail
David was freaking out right about now, but I don't have any issues with heights anymore. At least when I am not worried about little kids
There was wild Jupiter's Beard growing everywhere. It was awesome!
I bought some Montserrat cheese
You can actually drive all the way up and some people did
The scenery was awe inspiring
The last thing we did was visit La Boqueria which is the market in the middle of Barcelona on Las Ramblas
The had fresh fruit drinks. I tried the strawberry mango
Once I got home we feasted on the cheese I brought home from Montserrat and Andorra's famous cheese Caprice des Dieux

Styled Shoot
Ah, styled shoots.
I love brainstorming new ideas and dreaming about how to bring them to live. I love seeing other creative's styled shoots and how beautifully everything seems to just come together.
But then I actually tried to create one. A styled shoot.
To say it was hard work is an understatement. Maybe because it was my first time. Maybe because I tried to tackle this while taking on two other jobs at the same time (#help! Life of an entrepreneur, am I right?!). Maybe because Organized Occasions had really only just begun and I wasn't quite used to being on the "designer" side of things yet. I think it was a combination of all of those factors, but thankfully I pulled through. WE pulled through! I had the most amazing team of "friend-ors" help me breathe life into my ideas and the end product made me SO proud. I pushed myself out of my comfort zone, I challenged my creative side, and the result was nothing short of rewarding. Will I do more styled shoots? Absolutely!
For most, the end goal of doing shoots like these is to gain recognition, open yourself up to a wider audience, earn business, and ultimately get published. And I am BEYOND THRILLED that this shoot was picked up by The Perfect Palette, which is one of my favorite wedding blogs (and Instagram pages: @theperfectpalette)! You can visit their post here: http://www.theperfectpalette.com/2017/10/bohemian-elegance-in-this-colorful.html
Check out these stunning photos below from my friend and photographer, Kristen Alexander. Many (MANY) thanks again to Julie (Unique Floral Expressions), Vanessa (Vintage English Teacup), Mark (Classic Cheesecakes), Doug (BBJ Linen), Kelly's Closet (wedding dresses), Angelika Mercado (hair & makeup), Katie (Made to Flourish Calligraphy), and Park Tavern (furniture rental). This shoot literally would not have happened without you. :)

1931 Hudson 8 – 2 door Rumble Seat 3-window Coupe $ 34500
1931 Hudson 8 Rumble Seat 3-window Coupe very rare 2-door Rumble Seat Coupe that retains original, factory components that has been properly restored cosmetically. Retains original date-coded 8-cylinder drivetrain, features accessories, and continues to operate wonderfully finished in a very complimenting color combination!
The Hudson Motor Car Company was established in 1909 by eight Detroit businessmen to bring a mid-scale luxury vehicle to market. Originally fitted with a balanced six cylinder engine that performed so well and sales lead the company to be the third best-selling car by 1929. A huge fact considering the top two were Ford and Chevrolet. This led to the new 218.8ci Flathead Straight 8 cylinder engine introduced in 1930 to push them continue to pursue prospective buyers. Its block and crankcase were cast as one unit, fitted with two overhead cylinder heads. The crankshaft was balanced like the Super Six engine they had tremendous success with. This involved 5 main bearings and 8 integral counterweights. It produced an incredible 80 horsepower that would have been very impressive for its day.
We are offer this 1931 Hudson Eight 3-window Rumble Seat Coupe finished in very attractive color combination. Under the hood its original date coded 219ci Straight 8 engine and a 3-speed transmission with free-wheel feature and 4.27:1 rear axle. Features were numerous on the Hudson 8 lineup and included a dual brake system incorporating the mechanical emergency brake to allow all four wheels to help in stopping power rear rumble seat, wire wheels and 5.25/5.50-18 4-ply tubed tires, pop-out front windscreen, dual cowl vents, manually operated hood vents roll-down rear window hood ornament, windshield visor, hot water heater, interior dome light, and much more!
Our example retains its original date-coded drivetrain including the Marvel E-type carburetor with heat control system, roper 1931 heads, engine splash pans, free-wheeling transmission, factory Hudson Super Built steel body

The SPADA Executive comprises of New Zealand screen industry practitioners who volunteer their time to work on behalf of the wider New Zealand screen production industry.
Each year SPADA members have the opportunity to nominate a SPADA member (this is dependent on the two-year terms and how many seats are up for nominations) onto the SPADA Executive. All executives have two year terms, and the Executive is governed by an elected President.
At the 2018 SPADA AGM there were two seats up for nominations, two nominations were received and therefore it did not go to a vote. The two seats were filled by Jane Roberston and Kelly Martin.

How to Properly Take Advantage of Free Legal Advice

When it comes to legal advice regarding accidents, getting free assistance can be of significant benefit, but only if you know how to use it to your advantage.

Somebody posted this idea in his blog (sorry if repost):
Personally, I don't think ACC will add two more teams unless ND is in the mix. ACC had added northern teams such as BC, pitt, syracuse just to get the 5 game deal with ND. So further expansion is pretty much up to ND, and what ND wants, if it joins, is the least number of conference games. From next year they will play the following:
5 random ACC games + 3 Regulars (Navy, Stanford, and USC) + 4 OOC (at least one or two BIG).
I don't see ND play 8 ACC conference games here. The best deal ACC can propose is:
1. Invite Navy
2. Propose a 7 game conference
3. Team ND with Navy, Cuse, and BC for its pod.
Then ND will play
Cuse + BC + 4 random ACC teams + 3 regulars (Navy,Stanford and USC) + 3 OCC.
Would this deal be palatable to ND?
As for the first point, I know some people have doubt whether Navy would want to play in ACC, but I believe they actually showed express in joining the acc when acc was looking for the replacement of UMCP.

A lot of young and adults today are into sports. They play their type of sports every day as a part of their physical fitness. Actually, this is a good way to spend your free time. Instead of just hanging out in the shopping malls, bars, clubs and street, play a sport that fits your skills.
But sometimes, you may not be able to check the time or the length of time spent playing. That is because you are having fun and enjoying the sport. The same thing happens not only in sports, but to any activity that you love to do. This only means that anything you do in excess is also not good because this may harm your body.
Now, when you play excessive sports, then you may experience spinal pain. Here, there is a nerve pinch injury to the neck and shoulder. It is also called a stinger, where you will experience electrical sensations that are radiating through the arms. This spine injury occurs due to contact and collision. This is not a spinal cord injury, which will paralyze your legs and arms. Anyway, stinger cases sometimes last longer, while others are shorter. But when it recurs and not diagnosed, then treatment might be needed because pain persists.
Injuries on the spine
Lower back injury is one of the possible injuries that you may experience because of sports. Here, you will greatly deal with the strain and that is because of repetitive impact like running. Twisting motions are also experienced just like when you play golf. And then, when you weight-lift, it is also possible for you to experience a range of motions that damages your lower back.
With the neck injury, contact is involved. For example, when you play football. With this, your neck or cervical spine is at risk. So, you have to be a skilled football player to avoid such injuries.
We also have the upper back injury. I supposed, you are aware that the thoracic spine or the middle part of your spine around the rib cage level is less likely injured because of its extra support and immobility. Now, when you experience injuries in this part, then it is possible that there is a rib fracture occurred. Aside from that, intercostal muscle strain and intercostal neuralgia also occurred. This happens because of torso rotation and that is when you usually ski, swim and play tennis as well as golf.
To avoid spinal pains, you must have warm up exercises as well as stretching before playing a particular sport. Anyway, stretching your muscles is even recommended. But this has nothing to do with the occurrence of spinal pain. What's giving you the pain is the excessive playing of sports.
Now, to avoid spinal pains and stress, warm-up is needed and must be completed before playing your game. Through the warm-up, you will be able to target and wake your muscles up. Therefore, preparing your back because stress will start to come as soon as the game starts. By the way, warm-ups also increase your blood circulation on the ligaments and muscles of your back by doing easy moves like walking. It is also good to stretch the muscles of the upper and lower back.
When treating the spinal pains, it is good to do the stretching by touching your toes while bending. This is very helpful in loosening the muscles in your lower back. When you do the cobra pose, you lie on your stomach with your hands facing down beside your shoulders. And then, gently lift the chest up. Cat-cow pose is also good, which is done by arching the back towards the ceiling and then, dipping it also towards the floor.
Sometimes, the pain persists even with the basic treatment. Now, when spinal pain continues, you better seek for a professional's help. This usually do not need a surgery, though you may be asked for an x-ray or MRI even with a chiropractic doctor. I was injured once and cured by Dr. Kang in Zencare Chiropractic Irvine, California (read more). Thanks Dr Kang very very much!
He will be able to treat your spinal pain issues after evaluating your examination. Of course, he has to plan how to treat you. This may be similar from the usual treatment that you do, but it would be more advantageous to go for a chiropractic treatment.

But I'm running behind
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too
For the past two weeks, I've been running behind, barely running into the sun and running on empty! I'm fininshing up my second week of working an extra part-time job and filling in for another person who is on vacation. Tomorrow, Sunday marks the 14th day of long hours of running back and forth between my regular job and the part-time job and running blindly. Thankfully, I"m on vacation the upcoming week and looking forward to some down time. Time to sleep, breathe, detox, and catch up with friends and loved ones. Even Chulo has been missing me.
More importantly, I'm finishing up my recovery period from my foot surgery. Just this past Thursday, I had the pin taken out of my toe and yes, it did hurt but was not excrutiating. So, now it's just one more week of walking with the stupid shoe but for now the toe is just bandaged and I only have to wear a sock to protect the foot. So, by next Friday if you see a shoe floating down the bayou you'll know its mine! ;-)

Chinatown is an ever-expanding neighborhood. East Broadway is a natural border, but as can be seen here, Chinatown's influence extends much further. Taken with a 16-3mm wide-angle lens from the Manhattan Bridge, this photo manages to capture not just Chinatown, but the distant neighborhoods of the Civic Center and the World Trade Center.

Big Fish Audio Breakbeat 2
There are a few things in life you can never have too much of: love, money, and breakbeat samples. Breakbeat fiends are known to spend weeks digging through crates looking for the perfect beat. Thing is, not all of us are blessed with a collection of 5,000 '70s funk records and the hundreds of free hours it takes to go through them. And then there's the hassle of getting clearance once you've found a beat that works.
Fortunately, Big Fish Audio has come to the rescue with its Breakbeat series sample collection. Breakbeat 2 ($99.95, audio only) is loaded with beats as fresh as your grandma's apple pie and greasy as your grandpa's toupee. All the loops sound as if a live drummer recorded them, and they have that nasty, gritty, vintage-vinyl quality.
The disc contains 135 loops ranging in tempo from 74 to 117 bpm. Most are followed by samples of the individual hits constituting the loops, so you can modify or program new beats to your heart's content. Loops span a minimum of two bars, with plenty of variations on the basic beat.
Perhaps the most amazing feature of this collection is the variety of sounds-it's as if entirely different kits (or drum samples, as the case may be) were used for each performance. Most of the loops are deliciously dry, with just a touch of natural-sounding room reverb. Add your own reverb or effects processing, and you'll soon have beats as quirky and unique as your own bad self.
The loops are arranged in no particular order-the bpm can vary significantly from track to track, as can the overall vibe. But even the staunchest organization freak will have to admit it's a lot more fun to search for beats on this CD than to flip through a dusty stack of vinyl.
If you're into any style of music that uses breakbeats, whether it's funky breaks, hip-hop, big beat, or new skool, you'll find plenty of useful goods here. This disc is loaded with 72 minutes of high-quality material, with absolutely no filler. By chopping up the beats with ReCycle and pumping up the bpm, even drum 'n' bass and jungle freaks will find plenty of useful loops.-Chris Gill

Think sleeping in solves your sleep woes? It doesn't, i'm sorry to say.
Evidence shows:
You need to maintain the same sleep schedule for optimal quality sleep
This article in peer reviewed journal BMC Public Health found that an irregular sleep schedule causes:
an inability to get to sleep, stay asleep and enhances feelings of fatigue throughout the day
the more erratic it is, the more pronounced the effects are.
The research also shows that even just one night of an altered sleep schedule decreases cognitive and psychological functioning:
you're more likely to feel flat
mentally foggy
lack concentration
become irritated
feel stressed
As this research in peer reviewed journal Environmental Health Perspectives highlights, hormones to regulate your energy levels work on a 24 hour circadian clock, termed your sleep-wake cycle.
Like a see-saw, when your body produces sufficient wake promoting hormones like serotonin, during the day, this allows for the maximum production of the sleep promoting hormones, such as melatonin and GABA, in the evening.
If your daytime wake promoting hormone production is delayed, as will the evening sleep promoting hormones. Translated, if you wake up later, you're less tired in the evening.
My advice?
As much as possible, have a regular schedule
Make sure you are asleep between 10-2am, as this is the optimal time for deep quality sleep, which allows for mental and physical repair, memory encoding and regeneration of happiness hormones like serotonin and dopamine. Here is some research and impact of quality sleep for your daily functioning - I encourage you to read it now. Education is power!
Don't think you can catch up on the weekend without the negative side effects for your next day, as highlighted in the academic paper above.

The populist groundswell that swept Bill de Blasio to victory in New York's mayoral election is reshaping the City Council as well, with a cadre of fiercely liberal council members demanding a voice in choosing that body's next speaker.
The Council's Progressive Caucus, which formed in 2010 in opposition to what it viewed as the elitist policies of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, saw its numbers nearly double in the recent elections. Twenty members of the caucus on Sunday met and committed to voting as a bloc in the election for speaker. The current speaker, Christine C. Quinn, is leaving the Council after having lost the Democratic primary for mayor, and her successor will be chosen in January by the 51 council members.
Starting in January, the Council will include 48 Democrats and three Republicans, so the battle for speaker will be among factions of Democrats.
Kenneth Sherrill, a professor emeritus of political science at Hunter College, said the rise of the Progressive Caucus could portend the emergence of a new two-party system in New York City — not Democrats and Republicans, but centrist Democrats and more liberal Democrats.
"The Republican Party for all intents and purposes doesn't exist in New York City," he said. "If the Democrats don't have competition from the right, maybe they should have competition from the left."
Brad Lander, a Democrat from Brooklyn and the co-chairman of the progressive caucus, said that the 20 caucus members — some of them already serving on the Council, and some who will be serving for the first time — made the commitment to stick together at a caucus retreat at the Bronx Zoo. They met in the executive dining room, he said, from which they had a view of the zoo's peacocks perambulating in the drizzle.
"We're resolutely committed to building a City Council that fights for a more just and equal New York City, functions more democratically, and includes progressives strongly in its leadership," Mr. Lander said.
The caucus's effort to control a bloc of votes in the race for speaker is a departure from the past, when the speakership was effectively decided by county Democratic Party chairmen. Now the caucus is seeking to ally with one or more of the county delegations to put together enough votes to elect a speaker.
The caucus asked a labor official, Alison Hirsh, the political director of 32BJ, the union of janitors and doormen, to negotiate with the county chairmen, other council members and speaker candidates on its behalf.
The co-chairwoman of the Progressive Caucus, Melissa Mark-Viverito, from Manhattan, is a front-runner in the race, but the caucus has so far not aligned itself with her or any other candidate. The other candidates include Daniel R. Garodnick of Manhattan, Mark Weprin of Queens, and Annabel Palma and James Vacca of the Bronx.
Instead of endorsing a candidate, the caucus is trying to win support for changes that would limit the power of the speaker's office.
Ms. Quinn used her power to decide which legislation was brought up for a vote and how much money individual council members were allowed to distribute in the form of discretionary spending.
The Progressive Caucus wants an independent bill-drafting office to assist council members with legislation, and a formula to determine the amount of money council members can distribute to groups in their districts.
The caucus is also promoting legislation it believes would help address income inequality, including the expansion of paid sick leave and the creation of a more progressive tax system.
The caucus's proposals overlap substantially with the platform on which Mr. de Blasio was elected, but there are some exceptions. For example, the caucus wants to allow noncitizen permanent residents to vote in municipal elections, which Mr. de Blasio has said he does not support.
Susan Lerner, the executive director of Common Cause New York, said the caucus's role in the race for speaker would diminish the power of the county chairmen. Ms. Lerner worked with members of the caucus on drafting their proposals.
"The members of the City Council are elected by voters, and they are ultimately responsible to their constituencies," she said. "This, I think, changes the dynamic of the speaker selection process in a way that I believe is positive and benefits the better democratic functioning of the Council."

Back to blogging
Ok, so the title is aspirational, but perhaps it would be good to blog occassionally.
My dedicated reader (only one!) has noticed my absence from the blogosphere, and commented on this with regret. I blame it all on facebook, which encourages quick, low effort, updates. But if I do one post today, that will be one more than last year, and you never know - it might become a habit.
(The theory is that if you perform an action every day for a month it will become a habit, and will become easier to maintain. Not yet sure if I have a commitment to one month...)
Anyway, what is today like here? Hot, windy, and I'm tired because I've just come back from one of those weekend meetings I have.
I did say on the Friday that I'd realised that I need to take better care of myself, and I do need to sleep. (This caused some amusement among my friends/colleagues, as I'm the one who gets my '2nd wind' in the evening and is then able to work until quite late.) And that perhaps we should agree to stop for the night at dinner, or 9pm, or something. Obviously we didn't agree that very strongly, because we worked much longer both evenings. Oh well... they can't say it's me keeping them up ever again.
That said, it was a useful, productive, and relatively relaxed meeting, so it's all good. And we seem to have gelled as a team and understanding each others' working styles.
Nice to be back with family this afternoon.

Finding My Lost Axe Head.
I Have Found My Lost Axe Head.
Floating Axe Head?
The Spiritually Empowered Beam
This Is Axe Head
Prophet Elisha And The Lost Axe Head.2 Kings 6:1-7
When prophet Elijah was taken away by the wonderful chariots of fire from heaven, having been transited to heaven without seeing death. One of the sons of the prophet Elisha immediately began to wear the garment of the office, or headship or leadership of the camp. More were attracted and due to the sudden expansion, accommodation was no longer sufficient. Larger premises were sought to accommodate them. An expansion that was necessitated by sudden growth. The expansion project encountered unexpected difficulties but received divine help when needed.
The slipping of axe head was common occurrence in ancient times (Deuteronomy 19:5). It was an ordinary sight and of little consequence. Whenever it happened, the axe head was just restored to its position on the haft. But in this case under consideration today was a miracle because the axe head had not only just slipped off, it had disappeared into the deep sea.
How about God's grace, gifts, virtues etc. in our lives? Have they slipped off or even completely disappeared? Your axe head -- is it lost or kept?
The Unique Display Of Anointing.--2 Kings 6:6,7
Psalm 85:6-8; Mark 10:46-52; Luke 23:42,43; 2 Kings 4:27; Revelation 2:5; 2 Timothy 3:5; 2 Corinthians 13:5.
God can do everything but in principle He has decided not to do everything. He could keep us alive for forty years without eating but He has ordained that to stay physically alive we will have to eat and if we don't we will starve to death. He could solve our problems without any prayer but He has decided that He must yet for this be enquired of to do it for us (Ezekiel 36:37). "Ye have not because ye ask not" (James 4:2,3) confirms the spirit of scripture. God could have told Elisha where the axe head fell but He will not always do that (2 Kings 4:27). He could have also simply pick out Achan, but He wanted them to sort it out
Joshua 7:18-26 And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken. And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me. And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done: When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it. So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it. And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD. And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor. And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones. And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.
(1) Man therefore has to realize that there is an axe head to be found in his life time, locate where the axe head fell. And go about locating it with all seriousness as the man cried to the prophet " alas master, it was borrowed " God searched his heart and saw that he actually felt a heartbeat. That was his part before the miracle could happen. Remember from whence thou art fallen (Revelation 2:5).
(2)On the other hand, the unique display of faith in the new anointing and power in Elisha the new prophet, resulted in the miracle that recovered the borrowed lost axe head. It was because the man's cry came to Elisha's ears. Have your cries come to God's ears? (Mark 10:46-52; Luke 23:42,43).
(3) The man had to pick up the axe head and must now be careful not to lose it again (Psalm 85:6-8).
I don't know what your axe head may be, you must be ready to pick it up, by faith after these prayers, your axe head must float, only be sober, be vigilant ,you will see what the Lord will do for you soon.
In summary , the miracle recorded here confirms to believers and those still on the fence, that with God all things are possible. Axe head is not paper nor a light object, it is a product from Iron, it is heavy and cannot and will never float nor swim, but must do so on the command of the anointed man of God. As you pray these prayer points with faith, your axe head must surely swim in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
Praying Down His Presence.
Psalm 11:3-4
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? The righteous can pray.
The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
- 1. The righteous can pray and put the rotten foundation through, so father Lord, I have come this day and hour to pray and dust clean my foundation with the aim of finding my lost axe head, in the name of Jesus.
- 2. Let the anointing that fell on Elisha fall upon me and let my lost axe head begin to float and swim, in the mighty name of Jesus.
- 3. Power of God, descend into any depth where my very important axe heads have been hidden and pull them out in the mighty name of Jesus.
- 4. I refuse to ignore my lost axe head, I must pray and call upon my maker for help through the name of Jesus.
- 5. You my axe head taken away by the enemies of my progress, manifest and fall into my hand , in the mighty name of Jesus.
- 6. My axe head in marriage, prolonging my wedding day, you are a liar, I pull you out with the name and blood of Jesus.
- 7. As I pull out the my lost axe head in marriage, let my man[husband ] appear to the glory of God, in the mighty name of Jesus.
- 8. As I pick up my lost axe head in marriage, let my woman [wife] appear to embrace me in the mighty name of Jesus.
- 9. My lost marital axe head, receive fire where ever you are and be picked up as Elisha's fellow prophet picked up his borrowed axe head.
- 10. My lost axe head in health, I command you to appear, so that I can regain my health, in the mighty name of Jesus.
- 11. My lost axe head in business, you are causing me pains, begin to float in the mighty name of Jesus.
- 12. As you now float, let there be light upon my business , let there be open doors and breakthroughs in the mighty name of Jesus.
- 13. Let there be opportunities waiting for me from known and unknown sources , in the mighty name of Jesus.
- 14. Let the power that forced the axe head to float during Elisha's time, appear and force my missing axe head in prayers, so that I can begin to pray and pray through.
- 15. Let me pray and pray through like Elisha, shunning all satanic distractions in the mighty name of Jesus.
- 16. My educational axe head, it is time for you to float, I need you, begin to float in the mighty name of Jesus.
- 17. My lost axe head in academics, reveal yourself and be picked up for my advancement in life in the mighty name of Jesus.
