1. Parasitism When one organism (the parasite) lives in/on another organism (the host) and benefits while harming the host. (, )
Stop & Jot Parasites rarely kill their hosts right away instead keeping them alive as long as needed. In fact, the best parasites never actually kill their hosts, though they may weaken them significantly. Explain why parasites would not want to kill their hosts immediately. _______________________________________ _______________________________________ _______________________________________

CHICAGO | Herbal remedies have been used to treat illness and promote health for thousands of years -- and that�s enough evidence for some people during cold and flu season.
Peggy Everist, a 44-year-old elementary school teacher from Kansas City, takes Airborne, an effervescent tablet containing Chinese herbs, vitamins and echinacea, when she feels a cold coming on.
�It really seems to knock out the cold or at least make it less severe," Everist said.
But what is the scientific evidence for alternative cold and flu remedies, such as echinacea, ginseng and zinc? Dr. Ronald B. Turner, a cold virus expert at the University of Virginia School of Medicine in Charlottesville, says the evidence is weak. But Turner doesn�t try to discourage people from spending their money on remedies they think make them feel better, as long as there are no harmful side effects.
�One of the things that permits people to believe in unproven therapies is that it really doesn�t matter what you take because you�re going to get better anyway," Turner said.
Symptoms of the common cold increase rapidly and disappear just as fast, Turner said, making it difficult, but not impossible for scientists to design studies proving what works.
But some studies have been done. Here is a quick look at the evidence.
The herbal supplement is made from purple coneflower. Early studies suggested some benefit, but more recent studies with better designs have found no effect on preventing colds or lessening their length or severity. There are no known significant side effects, but commercial products aren�t standardized. One study found that about half the echinacea products didn�t contain the species listed on the label.
An essential mineral, zinc is found in oysters, beans, nuts and seeds. Studies have yielded mixed results. Those studies that showed zinc to be a successful cold fighter may be because subjects could taste the metallic flavor and believed they were getting the real thing rather than a dummy pill, so they reported they felt better. There are scattered reports of damage to the sense of smell from zinc nasal sprays. High daily doses (80 mg) have been linked to urinary problems. You can buy zinc in a variety of forms -- nasal sprays, lollipops, gum, and lozenges, including Cold-Eeze lozenges.
Vitamin C
Found in fruits and vegetables, the nutrient got a huge boost to its reputation for cold prevention in 1970 when Nobel Prize-winning scientist Linus Pauling wrote a book endorsing it. Some studies have shown it reduces the duration and severity of colds when taken daily in doses of 200 mg or more. Other studies found nothing. Turner thinks there�s �probably little true effect." Vitamin C can cause gastrointestinal problems in high doses.
Traditional Chinese medicine uses the extract of this root to restore energy. The commercial herbal supplement Cold-fX contains ginseng. Some studies have found ginseng lessens number and severity of colds. Turner says the studies were poorly designed. Another study found that most ginseng products contained less than half of what was listed on the label. Ginseng may cause insomnia.
This homeopathic medicine, made from minuscule amounts of duck hearts and livers, is used to treat influenza. Studies have not produced strong evidence that it works.
Growing in popularity, the brand-name herbal product Airborne now is the second highest selling cold tablet, with sales increased 24 percent last quarter over the same period last year, according to Information Resources Inc. But there are �no credible clinical studies so no evidence of effect," Turner said. �Based on the ingredients, [there is] no reason to expect an effect."
Chicken soup
Also known as �Jewish penicillin," chicken soup has been a favorite remedy for centuries. Some studies suggest its vapors warm up the respiratory passages and loosen mucus. An article in a magazine for nurse practitioners pointed out that chicken soup�s ingredients are known antioxidants and it keeps patients hydrated. Known side effects include feelings of comfort and nostalgia.

CC Forged Wedges
May Deal — 35% Off
Like all of Carnahan's designs the idea behind the look and feel of his new forged wedge is to maintain a classic style while maintaining the most updated technology and keeping the price affordable.
Combine those features with a soft leading edge that grinds into the turf at impact and an extended hosel that balances the weight throughout the club head, which creates more spin and you have the make-up of a complete wedge. You'll find yourself attacking more pins, more spin, improved control and better overall play around the green. If you are looking for a tour-performing wedge this club is the perfect addition to your bag.
Carnahan's Performance Configuration
Carnahan recommends the True Temper Dynamic Gold Shaft paired with the grip you are most comfortable with to maximize the performance of this wedge. If you are not sure what grip is best for you his choice is the Lamkin Crossline Tour.The collection of forged wedges, are made out of a 430 Stainless Steel.
The idea was to design a forged wedge for players of all skill level seeking performance using the most up-to-date technology. These wedges will provide an improved feel and control, which will result in better short game around the green.
- Available in 52, 56 and 60 degree lofts.

David Clark rated this product on 03/02/10 I just purchased a C Carnahan 60 degree wedge and got a chance to play with it yesterday. I do like the extra weighting and the club has excellent feel. I opted for the True Temper shaft and the Winn grip. I was getting good spin on my chip shots even on hard winter condition greens. It's a very nice club for the money.
Gregg H rated this product on 02/02/10 I have been playing with the C Carnahan 60 for the last month or so and I now taken my other (more expensive) wedge officially out of the bag. I like the weighting and the overall look of the club. It hits just like or better than any other $125 wedge. I am going to order the 52 and 56 to complete my wedges.
Johnny H rated this product on 01/23/10 I got the 52, 56, 60. Feels bottom heavy, but hits solidly. Definately get upgraded wraps since it comes with the package! Overall, 5 star product for each one.
Preston Hale responds with Johnny- Chris designed these wedges to be 1 to 3 grams heavier then the industry standard head weight. His research found that most golfers need a heavier wedge to help them feel the club head through impact and especially a little extra head weight for hitting out of bunkers. The average golfer will benefit from this tremendously, while the lower handicapper's will be amazed with how soft the face feels due to the slight extra gram weight.
left handed left out. rated this product on 12/28/09 I am left handed and have gave them a rating of a "one" based on all of the great reviews that right handed players have left. I would like the opportunity to give a real review of CC's clubs, but none of them are for left handed players. I feel a little "left" out....
Preston Hale responds with We are looking at releasing a LH model in 2011 since seeing a demand at all the trade shows for our CC wedges. Our apologizes lefty's have to wait one more year. It will be worth the wait!
V reviewed this product on 09/23/09 It's refreshing to find a product that makes the game of golf easier. The CC forged wedges perform! They look the way a wedge should look, the feel even better. But the final analysis is in the performance, and I've never owned wedges like this before. Just phenomenal! If you are not using a CC forged wedge, you're missing out. I love the fact that your have an absolute guarantee on these wedges, but let's be truthful, no one is going to send one back anyway. Great job.

I saw a post on Doctrine Man the other day about a power point slide masterpiece. Having been a staff monkey myself, I'm sure the creator spent countless hours on this visual masterpiece. Sure it looks impressive, but can you summarize what this slide is trying to convey in 20 seconds or less?
I think sometimes we do a poor job communicating by over-focusing on impressiveness of the presentation, and not on the clarity of data or simplifying the core message. When presenting information, we should following the following principles:
For those of you who are looking to improve your ability in communicating data, I would recommend browsing through the following two articles "Effectively Communicating Numbers: Selecting the Best Means and Manner of Display" by Stephen Few and "Data Graphics" from the Wharton Business School.
I'd recommend using the website Tableau to easily play around with data and decide how to effectively present it.
Back to Work
It's been a few weeks since I have posted an article here. Too long! I've got some articles in the draft stage so hopefully should start releasing them soon.
Some of the topics include:
The next few months I will be taking courses in Planning and Production, Project Management, Executive Leadership, and Supply Chain Analytics. Hopefully I will have some insights to pass along from these.
My second deployment was to COS Garryowen in Maysan, Iraq at the end of Operation New Dawn in 2011. Over the course of the deployment, our operations transitioned from being offensive while partnered with the Iraqi Army to defensive as we retrograded and closed bases. We very rarely went into the towns and cities and quickly lost our pulse on what was going on in the world around us. Working with my S2, we came up with the idea to do google searches of people, groups, or places around us in Arabic.
We would get search page results, and then I would work with one of our translators to provide summaries of the articles for my Battalion Commander. Sure, echelons above Brigade were working on translating articles that mattered to DOD, and occasionally they would filter down to us, but we never got exactly what we wanted nor as quick as we wanted. With this method, we quickly became much more tuned into the political and enemy situation and were able to make better decisions because of this.
In five years much has changed, and Google now offers a way to automate the process I just mentioned. Google Alerts scours the internet for topics that matter to you and empowers you with open source information. You can set Google Alerts to either send you updates as the stories are published, or you can ask for less frequent updates (daily or weekly).
I recommend these things to add to your Google Alerts: your branch, your unit, your unit's equipment, your name, your boss's name, areas you are/will be deployed to, and important individuals/groups acting in the area you are deployed to. Check out the video below for a step by step guide on how to set this up.
Do you have any other suggested tips for using Google Alerts? If you have thoughts on the article you just read, please leave some comments for the group.

Training Room Hot Loops
The hot loop is a wire that runs between military vehicles. During periods of radio silence, it allows Soldiers to share information without the enemy detecting the communication.
My last Brigade Commander, Col. Ross Coffman built an email version of this for all of his Company Commanders. His intent was to provide us the forum where we could freely communicate, share problems, and solve issues together. This provided to be an extremely valuable tool as not only could we find simpler ways of doing things, we could quickly solve problems when they came up, and learn from others failures to prevent our own units from making them.
So I ask, why limit this at just Commanders? It does make it simple because we are (sadly) constantly at our computers. But wouldn't platoon leaders, platoon sergeants, squad leaders benefit from having a hot loop in their own Battalion? What about our low density groups? What if every Training Room NCO, Supply NCO, Commo NCO in the Brigade was on their own functional area hot loop? Wouldn't best practices be discovered faster? Wouldn't systems across a brigade start running smoother?
If your unit doesn't have these, create them. Don't wait for someone higher up to organize it. You can impact your organization incredibly by creating forums where people can collaborate and share knowledge.
* Update* This article was shared on Reddit, and several people mentioned the "GroupMe" app. This app seems to meet the intent of the email hot loop with the exception that it moves beyond email and can be installed on cellphones, computers, and tablets. Might be a great solution to the problem I talked about in this article. I'm curious if anyone has ever used it in their formations.

We Give Quarterly Training Briefs To Our Superiors, Why Not To Our Subordinates?
Do you have financial investments? If you do you might have noticed something called Quarterly and Annual reports. These reports are required by the SEC and provide information to stakeholders on progress of various KPIs as well as updates on the way ahead for the company. These reports are published on the company's website and all shareholders are notified when they are released. The intent of these documents is to demonstrate how company leadership are effectively using their resources to return profits back to shareholders.
My question is why in the military we don't do this? We do a really great job of letting our higher headquarters know how well our unit is performing. In weekly training meetings we update them on every training stat imaginable. In Quarterly Training Briefs we share our plans for awesome Gunneries or FTXs that will build towards METL proficiency. But the problem is the majority of our messaging is just going upward. Sure we might publish OPORDs that provide these details, but only a small fraction of the population actually sees that document.
Why not schedule a quarterly update to brief your Soldiers? It doesn't have to be a big to do with conference rooms blocked off and endless PowerPoint slides. The Military Leader posted an article some time back about making your close out briefs more interesting . Instead of giving the standard close out safety speech, why not take 15 minutes to remind your Soldiers of the progress they have made in the last three months and the way ahead/ major events in the next quarter. Make it a part of a Pay Day Activities early close out so that it becomes a battle rhythm event. Though they may already getting snip its of this from your subordinate leaders in the organization, hearing it come from the leader at the top will be much more powerful.

If you go to Lynda.com you'll find out that Lynda is a "leading online learning platform that helps anyone learn business, software, technology and creative skills to achieve personal and professional goals. Through individual, corporate, academic and government subscriptions, members have access to the Lynda.com video library of engaging, top-quality courses taught by recognized industry experts."
All too often I've seen Training Rooms struggle because the NCO or Soldier running it isn't as familiar with Excel/PowerPoint or other systems. They were trained by the Army to drive a tank, shoot a rifle, and do maneuvers, but no one ever trained them how to manage a database in Excel. You could always dedicate some of your precious time to teaching them tricks, but you will never have enough.
That's why I recommend Lynda. It offers hundreds of classes on the Microsoft Office suite and thousands of other classes. Soldiers could get on this website and improve their technical skills so that they can better know their tools and accomplish your intent without you having to hover over every keystroke. My hope is that the Army could one day open a corporate account with them, but until this happens I would recommend Soldiers spend the $25 a month to invest in themselves.
I would recommend the following classes for anyone working on a staff or training room:
1. Time Management with Outlook 2016 Calendar and Tasks (2h 54m)
2. Excel 2016: Essential Training (8h 51m)
3. Excel 2016: Pivot Tables in Depth (3h 42m)
4. PowerPoint 2016 Trips and Tricks (1h 28m)
5. Excel 2016: Macros in Depth (3h 33m)
See the YouTube video below for an excerpt from one of their online courses

The Company/ Staff Google Drive
Google Drive came out in 2011, but I wasn't aware of it until I started grad school in 2015. The benefits of Google Drive are that you can share all your information with anyone who has a Google account. Military share drives (whether they be on a unit's internal network or on AKO) tend to limit knowledge sharing. You are limited on AKO share drives because you have to be on a computer, you have to log in to AKO, and then you have to find where the file is stored. We know most Soldiers rarely get on AKO so storing information there for common use is adding a barrier. Unit share drives offer more value in sharing information, however you can get locked out documents if someone else is on them and you can only access them from computers that can get on the network.
Google Drive removes these barriers. It is accessible from any device that has a Gmail account. In Google Drive you can work on PowerPoints, Excel, and Word Documents. More than one person can be working on the document in real time. If you want to control who has access to read or write a document, the author can limit who is granted which privileges. These benefits create an environment where information can be easily shared.
Now imagine this: when a new Soldier arrives to your unit they are given access to your company Google Drive. They open up the Google Drive from their cell phone. On it they can find the Unit Training calendar, files of TMs/ATTPs/ATRPs/ FMs that are relevant to them, OPORDs for upcoming training, or even up to data platoon weapons/pt stats. This access to knowledge empowers the Soldier to do so much more than if they were left in the dark.
You can also see the value of Google Drives for a battalion staff. Every week you have to get a FRAGO out. Instead of emailing the one poor soul who has to compile all of those entries together at the last minute, every staff member is enabled to enter their own FRAGO entries. In fact, multiple staff members could work on it at the same time without locking up a document or saving over others work. Imagine how less painful staff work could be if you could collectively work on something?
I would not recommend putting FOUO, PII or OPSEC (check out your unit's Critical information list) info on the google drive. While there is no history of hacking the Google Drive yet, limiting where this sort of information goes on there will help prevent future breaches.

When I was in command I had a list of broken systems. I knew what wasn't working in my organization, I just didn't have the manpower or time to commit to fixing all of them. I had to pick and choose which problems were the most severe and address them. The rest would be left to fester and hopefully be fixed on another day.
As an MBA grad student, I am constantly pairing with local businesses for class projects. Our professors encourage us to use the techniques we learned in the classroom and apply them to real world problems. I have worked with several local businesses during the last year in topics ranging from social media optimization of a frozen fish food start up to improving throughput at checkout lines at a local Whole Foods. Tiger teams or other consultants are often employed to solve Brigade and above problems. Why don't Battalion and below organizations partner with local colleges to try and benefit from their skill sets?
If I could go back, I would have loved to stop by the University of Texas El Paso Business School and meet with some of their professors. I would share with them some of the problems my organization was facing and then see if they have any upcoming projects that would fit my issues. I would then invite the students to my organization and given them full access to both people and anything else they need to improve my systems. If I was concerned about what information I was providing the students, I could have them sign non-disclosure agreements (a common practice). Graduate students working on projects are not paid for their efforts, but at the end of the project I would bring them back and offer some small token of thanks as a way of rewarding their work and fostering relationships with the local community.
With the benefits of refining systems for organizations that are often too busy to address them themselves and improving relationships with the local community, why wouldn't we try and partner with local graduate schools?

I can't say I ever found that addiction and enjoyment in running like other people have. However, I do it because I know I have to and thus I don't have problems with my APFTs. There are some Soldiers who hate running, aren't good at it and fail PT tests. Part of me feels that physical fitness is a personal matter. You are either invested in it or not and you need to take ownership of your own health. The other part of me realizes that we invest a lot of time and money in training every Soldier and to let them fail without giving them the best chance for success is a problem.
Usually when we had PT failure, they were enrolled in a PT remediation program and were given the warning that they would have a retest in the next 90 days. If they failed this retest, we would proceed with chapter paperwork. The Soldier at this point looses all motivation and begins to under perform because they are depressed about the situation.
While I am not saying we can prevent all APFT failures, I do believe we can increase our chances of keeping more Soldiers by giving them the right tools. Taken straight from their website "MapMyRun...provide users with the ability to map, record and share their exercise routes and workouts with each other. MapMyRun is part of the world's largest digital health and fitness community." I have used this website/app for nearly five years now and have seen improvements in my own health and physical fitness. The site/app allows you to track workouts by either entering data, uploading data, or tracking in real time through your cellphone. It allows you to track calories you consume and then provides your net daily calorie balance taking in to account what workouts you've done. It allows you to enroll in training programs for running distances (2.5k, 5k, 10k, etc), provides detailed daily workout plans, and tailors them to your actual fitness. It even allows you to connect with other people so that you see each others workout achievements and help motivate each other. Best of all it is all free (though you can pay a monthly ($5.99) or yearly ($24.99) MVP membership fee for additional features).
So lets come back to the PT failure scenario, but look at it in a new light. A Soldier fails his APFT. He is flagged, initiates chapter paperwork , and is counseled by his Squad Leader. In the counseling the Squad Leader tells the Soldier that they must create an account on Mapmyrun. They are encouraged to sign up for an MVP account to have access to the training plans. They are told that they will log all platoon morning workouts daily and they will record all runs with their cell phone. They will friend request their Squad Leader so that they can monitor progress and help motivate them. Over the next 90 days the Soldier logs all workouts. They see their progress and improvement as run times are going down. They feel confident that when their next APFT comes they will be able to pass with ease.
Doesn't this seem like the Soldier is set up for greater success? Don't you think they have a better chance of not only passing their next APFT but also improving their lifelong fitness goals? Of course, these apps will never replace the responsibility leaders have in the role of training their Soldiers. But in the end putting the right tools in the hands of Leaders and Soldiers can help us create a stronger organization.
We know there are other apps out there (Nike+, Runtastic, Stava, etc). Has anyone ever used these? Are they any better then the features offered in Mapmyrun?

Every Friday it was the exact same thing. Log into DTMS, gather the data, redo calculations, and then plug answers into PowerPoint slides for the next Training Meeting. Initially this would take me around 2 hours to do, but eventually I got it down to 1 hour. What if I told you that you could do this in 5 min? Not only that, you could take the same information and with a couple clicks format it to your Company Training Meeting. Your saving grace is the PIVOT table.
PIVOT Tables are a tool in Excel that allow you to quickly analyze your data sets and make decisions off of them. I've included a YouTube example video (see below) working with weapons qualification data from DTMS. What I love most about PIVOT Tables are that once you make a PIVOT Table, you can can updated reports simply by pasting in new sets of raw data. Essentially all you have to do is set up your metrics once and you will always have your results at the push of a button. This will save Commanders/Staff Members/ Training rooms ridiculous amounts of time, allow you to streamline processes, and free up time to focus on more important things..
For more information, here's a link to a quick and easy tutorial: http://www.excel-easy.com/data-analysis/pivot-tables.html . If you've signed up for Lynda, I highly recommend taking their PIVOT Table courses. They will expand your skills so much more.

Advocacy Statements 2016
Funding Public Education
The Kansas Constitution provides that "the legislature shall make suitable provision for finance of the educational interests of the state." To achieve this citizen mandate SQE supports full state funding of the base state aid per pupil at the minimum 2009-2010 statutory level of $4,492, adjusted for inflation, until legitimate cost studies determine the actual amount required to meet the adequacy requirement of the Rose standards as set forth in the recent Gannon court decision. The funding formula that existed prior to the block grant funding established by the legislature worked because it weighed the state's obligation to equitably fund each student's education and recognized that local school districts have unique needs. The legislature should return to the previous formula, restore the non-proficient and part-time weightings, the change in definition of at-risk pupil, and the school facilities weighting until such time, after full public hearings and legitimate cost studies, the actual needs and costs associated with each of these factors is determined.
SQE opposes all efforts to unduly shift school funding to local taxpayers. This runs counter to our tradition of strong state investment, and sets the stage for unequal funding that will continue to hurt small, rural schools.
Special Education Funding
SQE supports the current formula for the calculation of special education funding, which is currently based on a per teacher basis. Continued state underfunding of mandated special education services forces local school districts to increase local property taxes and to divert other limited resources.
Consolidation and Consolidation Incentives
SQE strongly supports local control in any decision regarding consolidation. We oppose any legislation that overrides local control by means of limiting funding due to size or geographic location or that severely limits a quality education for all students.
SQE supports school choice in that a student with permission of the receiving district may choose to attend a school in a district in which he/she does not reside. Transportation, however, can only be provided to that student by the receiving district from the district boundary. No transportation funding, however, would be provided.
State Aid for Capital Improvement Bond Issues
SQE supports appropriate and adequate state equalization aid for capital improvement bond issues. Property tax poor districts are hard pressed to meet critical infrastructure needs without this vital state assistance.
SQE commends the legislature for its recent commitment to address the KPERS unfunded liability. A quality retirement plan is also essential to help local school districts in their efforts to attract and retain an excellent workforce. SQE supports the recent elimination of the $20,000 earnings limitation for teachers and administrators who may choose to return to work after retirement; however, it is important that the newly enacted restrictions not impose an undue burden on rural school districts when seeking to fill critical positions. We encourage the legislature to continue to review working after retirement options, in particular, the current restriction on the number of hard to fill positions listed in statute, to enable our schools to secure the essential staff we need to better serve our students.
State Support of High Quality, High-bandwidth Broadband is Critical for Education Services to Rural Schools.
The original Kan-Ed Network allowed our schools to collaborate and educate, regardless of size or zip code. In spite of the state's discontinuation of Kan-Ed, our schools continue to require broadband support to enable our students to individually access world-class distance learning through centralized, cost-efficient administration and share limited teacher resources to compete in tomorrow's global workforce. The Federal E-rate discounts do not cover all of the costs to provide these needed services, particularly in rural areas that are lacking in infrastructure development and effective carrier competition. Loss of state support has resulted in a cost shift to local school property tax dollars to provide these essential services. SQE urges the state to re-establish the statewide telecommunications backbone that is necessary for all of our schools to have the bandwidth they require in order to efficiently provide shared instruction and professional development through interactive distance learning.
School Board Elections and Participation
Participation in our democracy a right we hold in high regard. SQE supports the current non-partisan election of school board members as the best way to assure the public's participation in their selection of local school leadership. We further oppose any added restrictions that would arbitrarily limit the ability of our school patrons to select their school board members.
Unfunded Mandates:
The legislature currently places several unfunded mandates on our schools. SQE opposes the enactment of any additional unfunded mandate that would cause our schools to continue to divert funds from other necessary programs.

1 The Israelites, the whole community, arrived in the first month at the desert of Zin. The people settled at Kadesh. There Miriam died and was buried.
2 There was no water for the community, so they banded together against Moses and Aaron.
3 The people laid the blame on Moses. 'We would rather have died', they said, 'as our brothers died before Yahweh!
4 Why have you brought Yahweh's community into this desert, for us and our livestock to die here?
5 Why did you lead us out of Egypt, only to bring us to this wretched place? It is a place unfit for sowing, it has no figs, no vines, no pomegranates, and there is not even water to drink!'
6 Leaving the assembly, Moses and Aaron went to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. They threw themselves on their faces, and the glory of Yahweh appeared to them.
7 Yahweh then spoke to Moses and said,
8 'Take the branch and call the community together, you and your brother Aaron. Then, in full view of them, order this rock to release its water. You will release water from the rock for them and provide drink for the community and their livestock.'
9 Moses took up the branch from before Yahweh, as he had directed him.
10 Moses and Aaron then called the assembly together in front of the rock. He then said to them, 'Listen now, you rebels. Shall we make water gush from this rock for you?'
11 Moses then raised his hand and struck the rock twice with the branch; water gushed out in abundance, and the community and their livestock drank.
12 Yahweh then said to Moses and Aaron, 'Because you did not believe that I could assert my holiness before the Israelites' eyes, you will not lead this assembly into the country which I am giving them.'
13 These were the Waters of Meribah, where the Israelites laid the blame on Yahweh and where, by their means, he asserted his holiness.
14 Moses sent messengers from Kadesh: 'To the king of Edom. Your brother Israel says this: You are aware of the great hardships we have encountered.
15 Our ancestors went down to Egypt and there we stayed for a long time. But the Egyptians treated us badly, as they had our ancestors.
16 When we appealed to Yahweh, he heard our cry and, sending an angel, brought us out of Egypt, and here we are, now, at Kadesh, a town on the borders of your territory.
17 We ask permission to pass through your country. We shall not go through the fields or vineyards; we shall not drink the water from the wells; we shall keep to the king's highway without turning to right or left until we have passed through your territory.
18 To which, Edom replied, 'You will not pass through my country; if you do, I shall oppose you by force of arms.'
19 To which the Israelites replied, 'We shall keep to the high road; if I and my flocks drink any of your water, I am willing to pay for it. All I am asking is to pass through on foot.'
20 Edom replied: 'You shall not pass,' and Edom opposed them in great numbers and great force.
21 At Edom's refusal to grant Israel passage through his territory, Israel turned away.
22 They set out from Kadesh, and the Israelites, the whole community, came to Mount Hor.
23 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron at Mount Hor, on the frontier of Edom, and said,
24 'Aaron is to be gathered to his people; he will not enter the country which I have given to the Israelites, since you both disobeyed my order at the Waters of Meribah.
25 Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up Mount Hor.
26 Then take Aaron's robes off him and dress his son Eleazar in them. Aaron will then be gathered to his people; that is where he will die.'
27 Moses did as Yahweh ordered. With the whole community watching, they went up Mount Hor.
28 Moses took Aaron's robes off him and dressed his son Eleazar in them, and there Aaron died, on the mountain-top. Moses and Eleazar then came back down the mountain.
29 The whole community saw that Aaron had died, and for thirty days the whole House of Israel mourned for Aaron.

New Jerusalem Bible
Bible Resources
The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) is a Catholic translation of the Bible published in 1985. The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) has become the most widely used Roman Catholic Bible outside of the United States. It has the imprimatur of Cardinal George Basil Hume.
Like its predecessor, the Jerusalem Bible, the New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) version is translated "directly from the Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic." The 1973 French translation, the Bible de Jerusalem, is followed only "where the text admits to more than one interpretation." Introductions and notes, with some modifications, are taken from the Bible de Jerusalem.

UFC Update
The Super Korean is Super Victorious!
American Top team's mix martial arts fighter Denis Kang successfully defended his Spirit Martial Challenge heavyweight title March 11th in Korea. He won by unanimous decision after a grueling three-round bout. This was the 29-year-old Fort Lauderdale resident's first professional fight after tearing his bicep this past November in the final rounds of a Pride tournament in Japan.
But Kang's victory came at a cost. According to his trainer, ATT's Ricardo Liborio, Kang injured his hand during the match and might be unable to compete again for several months. --

Need to rig characters quickly while aiming for feature film quality ?
As a professional animator and a Blender head generalist/coder, I share this addon first developped for my personal use to offer a proven workflow to animators and riggers, providing Unity and Unreal Engine support.
Before rating it: if you encounter any bugs please report it. Sometime a new Blender version makes something buggy, or some special cases may be hard to predict, we're just humans! So please report it, and be assured you'll receive support/bugfix quickly. Updates are free and will remain free. Thanks for your understanding. Also make sure to read the FAQ and the documentation.
Rig fast with the Smart feature
Position the reference bones so that they match your character proportions. To speed up this process, a built-in solver will automatically try to find the body parts for you (bipeds only so far) and place the bones accordingly. Then, edit the result if needed (if your character is not a biped/ or fore more accuracy), place the facial bones and other extra limbs, and generate the final rig. The armature remains easily editable anytime. Check the product documentation and the youtube channel for more informations.
Plays fast, 25fps on these characters (using standard hardware): Anna, Kevin
Customize the rig definition in a few clicks: fingers, toes amount, spine bones, tail, breasts, ears, duplicate or remove limbs to rig spiders, centaurs, or whatever...
Finally, add your own bones over to complete (hair, or any specific needs...)
Video tutorial, rig a centaur with the multi-limb feature: Centaur Rig
The picker panel dynamically updates, so you can select any bone from the separate panel easily.
Editing the bone shape is now a child's play.
Customize the colors:
The Remap feature allows retargetting of any armature action to another one, with different bone names and bone orientations, supporting Mixamo BVH files for example. Define the source armature, the target armature, and the animation will retarget according to the bones names match and bones original orientation.
It support IK feet, hands for accurate motion tracking, and an interactive offset tool to remap to different characters proportions.
Tell Me More!
Extensive list of what's in the box:
- Automatic bone placement solver based on mesh recognition for bipeds character
- Edit Reference Bones feature to modify the rig anytime you want. No need to redo everything if a bone is not where you want it to be.
- Modular: only use what you need. Choose the number of fingers, toes, add optional tail, ears, breasts. Duplicate or remove limbs to rig multi-peds creatures.
- Easy bone shape edition
- A clear, easy to use bone picker
- Quick color customization
- Fully cartoon compliant: Stretchy spine, legs, arms...
- IK-FK snap with autokey working, and snaps properly when unlocking all the leg/forearm rotation axis
- Knees and elbows pinning
- Multiple Child-Of constraints support for the IK hands and feet to change their parent space any time (e.g. if the character is driving a car, hands on the wheel, then grab the car door)
- Complete set of secondary controllers for fine pose sculpt
- Advanced facial setup
- Shape keys drivers creation tool
- Game engines support: Unity - Unreal Engine FBX Generic and Humanoid rig type
- Bone remapper to retarget any armature action to another one, with different bone names and bone orientations. BVH files compliant - Mixamo animations, with IK support
- Compliant with X-Muscle System for realistic muscles simulation
- 11.869 lines of code craziness
- And finally, the best thing: by buying this addon you support my work and the Blender foundation, its developers financially. It's worth a big thank you from the open source community, helping Blender remaining free and accessible for everyone. And obviously you ensure the funds for this addon next new features, bugfix. I'm making my best to constantly improve the beast, based on users requests and my own ideas. Have quick look at the release log below.

This saves a great deal of battery and you also don't need the battery-hungry NVIDIA chip.

The MSI Wind although loved by some has exited our rankings for two simple reasons. A lot of power seriously isn't used using the integrated graphics used with portable notebooks, knowning that also helps without socket planning to plug into.
There's also little inside way of scaling of web pages as within Mobile Safari on the i - Phone, making browsing for the lower resolution screen awkward at times. Batteries have become an essential peripheral to the life of laptops and there are many companies in the market which can be facilitating the very best batteries to the user. It is possibly the cheapest firsthand notebook you'll receive your hands on, nonetheless it doesn't resort to cheap or old technology. The downside though is its unavailability of applications that could have helped consumers tinker a great deal with this tablet. In currently's marketplace where the patron wishes not only efficiency and a sizable end computing encounter, but also requires lengthy battery living and balance Asus are the moment additional major the way.
And one among the very best brands that you can be looking for is, yes of course the ASUS. A central button can also be provided for navigation around the features contained inside the phone. The processor in just a laptop is surely anything that you simply want to use a shut have a take a look at. Nevertheless, in case you have countless movies on record and this is just not enough, you happen to be able to acquire gentle, low-cost, external challenging drives to carry all of your respective films and songs. Battery living with the notebook computer is but one particular using the issues we usually would need to take into account.
The machine utilizes a steady dark, as the top cover part from the "ASUS" LOGO reflects the finishing touch, adding towards the whole notebook stable, elegant business atmosphere. Immediately noticeable--whether the lid is up or down--may be the rubbish while inside the trunk using this laptop. The best thing concerning the Asus notebooks is that they are also very affordable; you are unlikely to get rid of the bank once you buy considered one of these. If we talk regarding the display, both these tablets have same size display nonetheless they have different resolution. With Windows planned, ASUS has said that the Eee PC was already tested to be effective on Microsoft.
MSI Wind could conquest the throne from Asus Eee PC as the top mini laptop about the planet these days. You then have selecting having two identical screens, or splitting your desktop across both. Furthermore, it does so while opening the concept in the ultraportable PC towards the masses. Asus Laptops in addition have introduced the Blue-ray disk compatibility for enhancing the video capabilities with their laptops. There makes sense feature called Asus Call - Filter which enables you to blocks unknown callers.
If Asus transformer prime is completely new for your situation, In my opinion your problem is solved.

Dear Friends, I have too many duties, and recently my communication became slow, say poor !
If I miss to answer timely, and if you'll need our quote for a cases and straps order, you
can finally email to a my NEW , smart, (and fluent in English) daughter/assistant !
Please, email to: email@example.com and she will answer promptly !
WOW ! I am very happy, because in a couple of days many inquiries have been
sent to Ginevra, and she is now seriously helping me ! But. please, do NOT send
your messages also to my email address, beause doing that I am even more confused,
and we risk to answer twice, separately ! J Greetings, ciao, Luigi
Dear visitors of this page(s), let me finally introduce "officially" my very special SS Tripod "flush" SCREW, the one that some (few) buyers of my cases already knows... Sincerily, I am quite proud of this my idea ! Unlike Leica cases screws, and, as far as I know, unlike ALL cases screws, this special "Luigi's" screw still leaves the case bottom perfectly flat, without the uncomfortable protrusion on the bottom, that prevents the case (and the camera) to rest firmly even on the most flat surfaces ! His design permit to easily operate it with any thin coins, and in the lower part there is the useful TRIPOD hole, with the smaller thread, the one actually used by ALL makers.
It is quite costly, Eur 60 each (fitted), because: 1. every screw is hand made with a lathe - 2. the screw is all made in solid stainless steel, of which I am a fanatic user, being me a "boat's man"... - 3. to fit well it is a not easy job, it takes a lot of time and care, and there is always the risk to ruine a NEW case !
ATTENTION: the "Bottom SCREW" is not fitted in our cases by default !
It will be fitted ONLY upon a clear request, and a payment for it.
(click) - For our colours samples...
Here, my proposal for an (half) case for your Leica R9-R8 fitted with the DMR !
Of course, I will make upon buyer's request the two proper round cutouts on the
front side, for the possible setting of the existing front controls...
Please, look at the new pictures below (April 2006). Them are showing the DMR case aither in
"Aged Brown", and in black. The black one comes with the command cutouts in rear, and in front sides.
Your Leica R9-R8 fitted with the DMR will have a serious and practical "dress"
that allows to operate all the necessary technical buttons, wheel, and screens.
Please, inspect carefully my pictures of it, and understand how difficult is this case.
You may have it in black, or natural (tan) brown. Other colours upon request. Euro 250
without strap. The optional (identic leather) "deluxe" strap is offered at Euro 60
ATTENTION: for my "how to purchase" INFO page, please click HERE !
! We have ready for sale the two NEW half cases for your
Leica R8 and R9 reflex cameras: a "STANDARD R8-R9" half case for the camera
and lens, only, and the "WINDER R8-R9" half case, that accomodate the
camera with a R8-R9 WINDER (and a lens) fitted (NOT the motor !)
The rear cutout is made ONLY upon buyer's request, at NO extra charge.
However, I consider it not so necessary... It's up to you !
Those are eight pictures of the STANDARD R8-R9 half case. Please trust me,
it has been a very hard work to make it (them), being the R8-R9
cameras shape NOT symmetrical, really a difficult job !
Euro 180 without strap (that is an optional, and cost Euro 60 extra)
This is the WINDER R8-R9 half case, recently pictured, where you may put
your R8-R9 camera with a WINDER (NOT a motor) fitted on it.
Euro 200 without strap (that is an optional, and cost Euro 60 extra)
Attention: only upon buyer's request, if you want to fit a tripod...
...for an extra Eur 60 amount, I could add a MY special Stainless Steel "flush" Tripod screw that leaves the bottom side still flat (unlike on ALL leica cases), allowing to fit the tripod to it. Here two (poor) pictures os this technical solution. My special screw may be operated with the use of a coin...
Upon a possible buyer request, and confirmed order, in about 15 working days I can make
and ship the FULL case for R8-R9, either in black or brown finish, and also (in some
more days...) in any of our other 12 available finishes ! Strap NOT included, Eur 400
as always, my Deluxe strap is an optional at Eur 60

It is soft, protective, completely lined with the best suede leather,
and finally you may bring your "jewel" SL2 camera on the road without
too much risks to have it ruined by some scratches ! Of course, upon request
we can make the FULL version, too ! Euro 145 NOW without "deluxe" strap.
Black, brown, and other 10 colors could be made in about 10 days, please ask.
The cost of my 15mm Deluxe strap is Euro 60 apart, if required

Harlots of destinyby Arvind Passey on Nov 1, 2014 • 11:47 am No Comments
Madhur, a very good friend, wrote on facebook: 'The best learning in the world is from understanding life. Most people never learn.'
This happened to one of the more agreeable updates on facebook… most updates by most people are frivolous forwarded messages and so when something like this comes along, it tickles the thought processes within you. And I've always trusted Madhur to come up with ideas and expressions that are extremely thought-provoking.
Understanding life, I think, begins with understanding self… and a lot of us spend our lives, grow old and die without even discovering what we wanted to learn. So I do agree that most people never learn… I mean it is perfectly understandable that this would happen. However, this is because they never really know what to learn. You learn only when you know what to learn because the world is so full of experiences that they will generally overwhelm you if they were to come at you all at once.
So the first vital step is to discover what we want to learn. I am not talking of just students here… you can easily transpose this little magical theory of mine on to any kind of relationship. A student-subject relationship, a management situation, a marital state… the first step is always to discover what we want to learn.
This happens only once we are open to establishing a relationship with things that we know nothing about. For instance, a writer needs this sort of courage to leave writing and get into politics on a whim and then if the relationship is acceptable, decide to stay on. This writer-turned-politician can now say that he has discovered what he really wanted. Let's take another example of a bureaucrat leaving a high-paying comfortable position to become a journalist… or a doctor leaving his profession to become an actor. These are all real-life examples of people getting out of a known zone and entering an unknown zone at great risk and finding their meaning of life there.
This theory is very hazardous though and requires a fair bit of sanity and control before being adopted by anyone. A person with a lesser understanding of such a theory has a high probability of ending up hopping from one reckless relationship to another and becoming a harlot of destiny! However, if properly understood and then applied we'd have less number of restless people around us.
Let me explain this theory from different perspectives. Most students tend to choose subject without even ever knowing so many other subjects. I know a lot of people who take up science without knowing history and then cribbing decades later that the only subject that makes any sense is history. We'll have students who don't end up studying a subject without having any feeling for it. So according to my theory, one must expose oneself to a more than cursory study of different subjects to allow intuition to do its job.
The same can be applied to jobs or even marriages. There are no stuck up people or employees or personalities… it is just that the wrong people are clubbed together or the right people haven't reached the right situation yet. Yes, the secret here is to REACH THE RIGHT SITUATION or spot. We've all heard of great artists or poets or novelists who 'accidently stumbled on to what made them famous'. Well, you need to be ready to stumble on to unknown and unexperienced people, things, jobs, services etc. Try out everything… and have the guts and the will-power to move on if a sustained relationship troubles you. This is the only way forward. Keep doing it until you finally get to clasp the job, hobby, habit, or person reflecting what you are… and this is a two-way relationship. Always. Unfortunately, not all of us manage to reach this stage in our lifetime.
For those who are forever seeking a two-word mantra or concise secret to this dilemma of understanding life, here they are:
Seek boldly.
Reach out.
Arvind Passey

"I wanted to make sure that my ideas and goals were on-track and not overly ambitious -- and also to make sure i was being ambitious enough!"
--Mary Catherine Joes, from the Mentor Program with Brian Thon
Mary Catherine heard about the Mentor Program opportunity in the Masters Program, and again in blog posts and the newsletters, but it took her a few months before she decided to join the Mentor Program with Brian Thon. Knowing that she would work best if she had someone she could check in with, she also wanted to make sure that she wasn't making the mistake of reaching too far or selling herself too short! Jones and Such A Voice Producer and Coach Brian Thon had worked together during the Masters Program, and she felt sure that she would enjoy learning more from him.
"The program has been almost exactly what I expected -- only better!" says Jones. In the beginning, she was concerned that she would run out of questions or that Brian would ask her to do something that she wasn't ready for. On the contrary, she says, "The sessions are jam-packed with exactly the information I need at the time that I need it." By keeping a list of topics they discuss from month to month, it makes it easier for Mary Catherine to chart her progress and see concrete results.
"The best part is, I don't ever feel that my questions are too elementary. Brian reminds me that even he was new to the voice-over industry once upon a time."
Mary Catherine really values Brian's energy and enthusiasm as well. She recently hit a wall with a potential client who looked like he was going to move on to another voiceover talent. She mentioned what was going on to Brian, who immediately suggested that she record another version of the audition, even though the prospective client hadn't asked for it. She sent along two more versions and ended up landing her first gig of 2010!
Mary Catherine's new year's resolution (or business plan) with Brian is to tackle her local market in the Burlington, Vermont area. She plans to network with the Chamber of Commerce, as well as offer her services for producing audio-tours for some of the city's many local art museums. When asked how she plans on snagging those voice-over jobs, she said, "That is between me and my mentor! Ha ha!"
Keep up the great work, Mary Catherine, and we look forward to hearing more of your voice around Burlington this year! For more information on the Mentor Program, go to http://www.suchavoice.com/mentorprogram
