Apparently, newlywed Cheryl Cole, who is now, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, will remove her "Mrs C" tattoo, a gesture to erase the last remaining trace of her former husband Ashley Cole from her life.
Now that Cheryl is a married woman, she thinks that this tattoo is inappropriate. She also wants to remove it not only out of respect for her new husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, 33, for also for herself. She wants to let Jean-Bernard know that she has moved on from her past, especially about her relationship with Ashley.
The "Call My Name" singer inked the tattoo on the back of her neck after she married English footballer Ashley Cole. She divorced him in 2010 on allegations that he cheated on her with multiple women.
Following her second marriage to French restaurateur on July 7, she decided to cover the tattoo with brand new one, reportedly of a "phoenix".
A source told The Sun newspaper that Cheryl is undecided whether to laser off the tattoo, or to replace it something like a phoenix. Her new tattoo would be symbolic, given the myth that a phoenix rises from the ashes.
The X Factor judge has a dozen tattoos on her body, including a massive one consisting of roses that covers her lower back and bottom, which generated a lot of controversy from the media and her peers. She already consulted US tattoo artist Nikko Hurtado about removing the tattoo.
Meanwhile, Cheryl has achieved her fourth No.1 single in the UK with "Crazy Stupid Love" after the song topped the Official Singles Chart. This will be Cheryl's ninth number one in total, which includes her previous four chart toppers with her former band Girls Aloud and on the charity cover, "Everybody Hurts" in 2010.
This places Cheryl Cole alongside Rita Ora and Geri Halliwell as the sole three British female artists to achieve the same milestone. Her previous No.1 singles while going solo are, "Fight For This Love" in 2009, "Promise This" in 2010 and "Call My Name" in 2012.

Practice areas & skills: General Practice
General practice attorneys perform a wide range of legal services but usually do not focus on a single area of the law. You will usually find a general practice lawyer in a small town, but big cities have them as well. You might consider a general practice lawyer as a "Jack of all Trades" who can give advice in many legal areas, represent you in common lawsuits and negotiations, and prepare everyday agreements and contracts. If you have a legal issue and aren't sure what type of lawyer should handle it, a general practice attorney is a good starting point. A general practice lawyer will refer you to an attorney who handles a specific practice area if necessary.

ARABIC SPRING AS PAN-ARABIC AND GENERATIONAL PHENOMENON ARAB SPRING AND LESSONS FROM SERBIA Wrong perception of Frozen Region and "Either Dictatorship Or Extremism" picture present for decades, instead, huge number of mostly secular educated and young people inspired by uprising in Tunisia has awakened throughout the region: and discover that they are in fact those who are powerful!
SERBIA – ARAB SPRING LINK ARAB SPRING AND LESSONS FROM SERBIA CANVAS has been in touch with groups from across the region, spatially Egyptian youth groups led by April 6 th, student group formed in 2008. Whose representatives visited Serbian in July 2009, and after that developed mobilization and knowledge transfer capabilities which has given them pivotal role in protests 2011 and igniting phase of "Tahrir Square revolution"
SERBIA-ARAB SPRING LESSONS LEARNED 1.Universal principles for success : Unity, Planning And Nonviolent Discipline 2."Fear versus Enthusiasm" Phenomenon 3.Tactics of dispersion and Using humor to undermine the authority of ruler ARAB SPRING AND LESSONS FROM SERBIA
APPLYING UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESS PRINCIPLES: UNITY UNITY IN SYMBOLS: Similar to Serbs who stood behind OTPOR`s fist, Individual Egyptian Groups have gave up their own symbols and replaced it with flag of Egypt UNITY OF RELIGIOUS GROUPS: Powerful picture of Christians protecting with the "human chain" Muslims while they prey, and, only day after thousands of Muslims cheering Coptic wedding on Tahrir Square ARAB SPRING AND LESSONS FROM SERBIA
APPLYING UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESS: PLANNING PLANNING TO OVERTAKE SELECTED "PILLARS OF SUPPORT" Fraternization with Military from Day one Overtaking role of police withdrawn by Mubaraak to provoke chaos and disorder (pictures of common check point between police and protesters, and neighborhood watches) Communicating clearly and moving international progressively from "terrified" and "suspicious" – and therefore reluctant to give up "their dictators" to "supportive to the opposition" ARAB SPRING AND LESSONS FROM SERBIA
APPLYING THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES OF SUCCESS: NONVIOLENT DISCIPLINE Similar to Serbian 1996-97 students protest, when Milosevic was trying to push his supporters against Students at December 24th 1996, Egyptian protesters strategically avoided to clash with violent Mubarak Supporters when directly attacked, and maintain carnival and positive atmosphere ARAB SPRING AND LESSONS FROM SERBIA
MELTING THE FEAR AND BUILDING THE ENTHUSIASM Similarly to Chile, South Africa or Serbia middle east movements in Tunisia and Egypt has recognized that once FEAR starts melting and Enthusiasm growing repressive regime based on Pillars of Coercion like cannot flexibly accommodate. Using low- risk tactics of dispersion and humor was crucial in undermining fear and authority of Mubarak. ARAB SPRING AND LESSONS FROM SERBIA
ARAB SPRING 2.0: VARIOUS SCENARIOS FOR OTHER ARAB COUNTRIES Various scenarios for other Arab countries depend on whether the individual movements can recognize and successfully apply principles of Unity, Planning and Nonviolent discipline and to which extent governments are ready to accommodate, or chose to use lethal force to maintain fear as their major source of power. ARAB SPRING AND LESSONS FROM SERBIA
SCENARIO 1: VICTORY AND CHALLENGES OF TRANSITION Egypt and Tunisia and their transition will be important test for the rest of Arab world. Energy of the movements should be carefully used for necessary legal and political changes, but also to keep new government accountable, elections free and fair and civil sector stable and durable – as the guarantee for long term democracy. ARAB SPRING AND LESSONS FROM SERBIA
SCENARIO 2: MOVEMENT PRESSURE Movement pressure followed by regime accommodation-a number of regimes in fact understood that time of "frozen authoritarian state" has expired and either gladly or reluctantly makes accommodations, from "cosmetic" to substantial". Societies like Jordan, Morocco and maybe even Algeria will experience gradual change and slow opening. ARAB SPRING AND LESSONS FROM SERBIA
SCENARIO 3: MOVEMENTS ARE INCAPABLE TO FOLLOW PRINCIPLES Movements are incapable to follow principles (Unity in Bahrain, nonviolent discipline in Libya etc) and regimes are ready to use deadly force – which will lead a number of this countries to the spiral of violence and threat of long-term conflict and divisions ARAB SPRING AND LESSONS FROM SERBIA
SCENARIO 4: REGIMES LIKE IRANIAN Regimes like Iranian (but also Belarusian and Venezuelan) who are researching People Power Revolutions Phenomenon will likely try to overtake political space from the opposition in order to avoid pro- democratic movement`s development with limited use of threat and violence), in which case outcome will depend on whether or not opposition may take the offense or loose ground. ARAB SPRING AND LESSONS FROM SERBIA
ARAB SPRING – MAIN IMMEDIATE CONSEQUENCES: More than 100 million people travelling from dictatorship to democracy (Tunisia and Egypt) Global fear for energy and regional security (Gulf countries) Increase of price for using violence against peaceful demonstrators (Libya) ARAB SPRING AND LESSONS FROM SERBIA
ARAB SPRING – POSSIBLE LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES Democracy and human rights getting back to the top of the list of international agenda Spreading of "people power" to countries outside region or Arab world as Zimbabwe, Central Asia, Burma or even China. Increase of nonviolent struggle practice in democratic countries Interest for "Nonviolent struggle" as phenomenon which should be expanded in academia, media but also in daily politics, diplomacy and educating intelligence and analytical institutions ARAB SPRING AND LESSONS FROM SERBIA

Well, I am going to show you my daily secret formula that has taken me from 3% Pinterest Referral Traffic, to 32.39% without decreasing other traffic sources! AND how I use Pinterest Analytics to give me insight into what is and isn't working on my blog!
By using my daily Pinterest formula my Pinterest profile is seen on average 7,175 times daily. Pins that link back directly to my website have increased by 100% and I now see average daily impressions in the 10 thousands. How do I do it?
My Daily Pinterest Formula
Fresh Content – I write new content for my blog 5 days a week! Some days it is a breeze and other times I am up all hours of the night (like right now at 2 a.m.). Even though this is a HUGE commitment, it has brought me tremendous results. In the first three months I had a blog, I doubled my traffic month over month.
Pinterest Friendly Content – In addition to writing so frequently and consistently, I make sure all of my content is super Pinterest friendly. Every blog post includes a "title" photo. This image goes along with the theme of the post and includes the full title. I also make it portrait so when it is on Pinterest it appears larger. As often as possible I try to include multiple "pinable" images in a blog post that people would find interesting. For instance my mood boards or my Shark Tank quotes.
Photo Names – Did you know the title of your photograph is what automatically populates when someone pins your image? I always adjust my photos so at minimum the name includes the blog post name and my company name. I do also try to pull out keywords or key sentences from the post that might entice someone to come check it out and add those to the title/description.
The SPECIAL Board – Any photo I ever pin from my website first get's pinned to my SPECIAL board. Everyone should have at least 1 board that has 100% your content only. Not only does this allow for lurkers to have a central location to find your content, but it makes someone more likely to follow. If your pinning is a little all over the place – baby, home, food, blogging and more – not everyone wants to follow every board. This gives them an easy no hesitation follow option if they like what they are seeing from you.
The 5-Minute Pin Marathon – There is no reason you need to spend all day on Pinterest. This part of the daily ritual is quick and dirty. If you have taken the time to have the initial setup done this will take you no time at all.
- Pin a photo directly from your website to your special board.
- Navigate to Pinterest.
- Repin that same Pin to all the group boards you are part of. (I am now in 5).
- Repin that Pin to any special categories it may fall under – i.e. Small Business Advice, Infographics,Social Media, etc.
- Have more than one Pinterest friendly image? Rinse & Repeat.
That's it, it is really that simple. Follow this simple formula every day and you can see some amazing results.
How to Up the Odds
Monitor Your Impressions – The time of day you pin no longer greatly effects your impressions. The pins people see on their home page is now more "curated" by an algorithm. This has its pros and cons, but I personally have found it helpful because I no longer need to be pinning at 9 p.m. I can pin at 9 a.m. and see essentially the same results. In the last 14 days, I have upped the impressions by 122.78%, most recently seeing 16,027 impressions just on Tuesday.
Repins are Your Friend – Repins not only drive additional impressions, but they give you the opportunity to be exposed to people outside your own audience. The more repins, either the better the content you posted or the more "Pinterest friendly" your pin was. Two of my top repined posts are infographics I created.
Clicks = Traffic – Ultimately you want people to click over to your website, not just see your pretty pictures. See what posts are getting the most clicks. What makes them special? How are they better or unique from your other content? This sort of information can give you great insight for what you should do next.
Referral Traffic
My Pinterest Referral traffic has skyrocketed to 2nd place just behind Direct. Direct is a combination of people who just know the URL and type it in and Instagram Referrals. By comparing what my popular pins are on Pinterest and to the most popular pages/posts on my website I can draw instant conclusions. To see my web traffic, I use a combination of both Squarespace and Google Analytics. I now have a fairly good idea of what "worked" and what "works better". This sort of insight helps me further tailor my content to my reader's needs and desires.
How have you utilized Pinterest to drive traffic to your website or blog? What have you found to be useful?

CS162 Week 2 Kyle Dewey
Overview Continuation of Scala Assignment 1 wrap-up Assignment 2a
Scala Continued
Traits Created with the trait reserved word Like a mixin in Ruby Think Java interfaces, but they can have methods defined on them More powerful than that, but not relevant to this course
object Used in much the same way as static is in Java Defines both a class and a single instance of that class (and only a single instance) Automated implementation of the Singleton design pattern Keeps everything consistently an object
equals, ==, and eq As with Java, if you want to compare value equality, you must extend equals Case classes automatically do this for you However, instead of saying x.equals(y), merely say x == y If you want reference equality, say: x eq y
Case Classes Behave just like classes, but a number of things are automatically generated for you Including hashCode, equals, and getters Typically used for pattern matching
Pattern Matching Used extensively in Scala Like a super-powerful if Used with the match reserved word, followed by a series of case s
null In general, null is an excellent wonderful/terrible feature Often poorly documented whether or not null is possible Checking for impossible cases Not checking for possible cases
Option A solution: encode null as part of a type For some type, say Object, if null is possible say we have a NullPossible Scala has this, known as Option In general, if null is possible, use Option
Tuples For when you want to return more than one thing Can be created by putting datums in parenthesis Can pattern match on them
Sequence Processing Functions AKA: Why while is rare and for isn't for
Looping Scala has a while loop, but its use is highly discouraged (again, point loss) It's not actually needed General functional programming style is recursion, but this is usually overkill
foreach Applies a given function to each element of a Seq
map Like foreach, in that it applies a given function to each element of a sequence However, it also returns a new sequence that holds the return values of each of the function calls
filter Takes a predicate, i.e. a function that returns true or false Applies the predicate to each item in a list A new list is returned that contains all the items for which the predicate was true
foldLeft Extremely flexible, but sometimes unwieldy Takes a base element Takes a function that takes a current result and a current list element The function will manipulate result with respect to the current element
flatMap Like map, but made especially for functions that return Seq s Will internally "flatten" all of the inner Seq s into a single Seq More on this later in the course
for Comprehensions Much like Python's list comprehensions Internally translated into a series of foreach, flatMap, map, and filter operations
Assignment 1 Questions Level of challenge? Any problems worth going over? Pre/post order traversals? Run length encoding?
Assignment 2a: Logic Programming
Assignment Overview Goal: gain some familiarity with logic programming Part A: Write code to traverse an ontology Part B: Write a Sudoku solver
Ontologies Formal knowledge base Concepts and relationships between concepts Often representable as a giant, heavily annotated directed acyclic graph
The Gene Ontology Of great importance within Biology and Bioinformatics Database of biological processes, cellular components, and molecular function Allows scientists to quickly determine relevant information
What to Write "A procedure named toisaroot, which makes a list showing the path from some given concept C to the root, which is always 'cellular component'." For a given concept, there may be no path to the root, or multiple paths
isaroot Example
Another GO Search The GO has both is_a and part_of relationships This distinction may not always be important for gathering information of interest We may be interested in transitive relationships
What to Write "A procedure named subconcept to determine if a given concept C1 is a subconcept of some concept C2. This is true if at least one of the following holds:" C1 is a part_of C2 C1 is_a C2 The above two conditions hold transitively Another view: C1 is a child node of C2
subconcept Example
Part B: Sudoku Solvers Sudoku: 9x9 board consisting of 9 3x3 subboards Each row, column, and subboard must contain the digits 1-9 (no repeats possible, and all must be accounted for) Some numbers are already given Goal: fill in the rest
Example - Given
Example - Solution
Goal Write a predicate solve(Board) that solves a 9x9 board List of nine lists, each of which is a list of nine elements, where each element is either a number or an unknown (unbound variable)
Optimization Naive solution: try all possible combinations, and check constraints at the end Optimization: try one number, and ensure that constraints have not been violated For full credit, you must implement this optimization
Performance The solver will likely not perform well on hard boards, even with the optimization This will be addressed later on when we get into constraint logic programming Will likely offer a cleaner solution, too

Getting the Word Out ~ 2014 EO Visitors Guide
Posted on December 9, 2013 by atrindle

Bookmark the permalink.
The 2014 Eastern Oregon Visitors Guide will hit the shelves, digital channels, and social media applications in March. SagaCity Media, the publisher, works closely with Eastern Oregon Visitor Associations staff and local DMOs to bring new stories from throughout the region, along with telling our continuing story in fresh ways.
As might be expected, developing an annual publication of a 60 plus page magazine that first engages the reader, and then moves them to action, is a lengthy process. Throughout the year, EOVA staff is calling for story ideas from around the region ranging from what is new to human interest stories that help share our culture and who we are as east Oregonians. These stories are gathered together and shared with SagaCity Media's creative team in June of each year. A story line-up is developed and then shared with the primary Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs) from the 11-county region. After tweaking the recommendations, SagaCity sets out to hire writers for the feature articles, and research information for the entire publication. Ad sales begin in July, conducted by SagaCity Media, and aided by the local DMOs.
Typically, the first draft of copy content is available in mid-October. This is shared with the primarily DMOs who are members of Eastern Oregon Visitors Association. It is their responsibility to fact check and make recommendations. In all cases, the local DMOs are vigilant in getting information correct, along with being engaging and inviting for readers. However, covering an 11-county region that represents over one-third of the state of Oregon is a huge responsibility, and naturally, not every attraction, event, or tourism supplier can be mentioned. This is where it is critical that we have a full and robust content on the Visit Eastern Oregon website.
Here again, EOVA relies on the local DMOs to help us in developing and reviewing the content for the website data base, which is called the ORB. Administered through Travel Oregon, the ORB provides all content for both the Travel Oregon and EOVA websites. Categories include: Events; Lodging; Attractions; Restaurants; Wineries; and Deals. Each fall, Eastern Oregon DMOs are supplied spreadsheets from the ORB showing our extensive list of suppliers in these categories. (Note: The process is happening right now, in December 2013. I encourage you to contact your local DMO to make sure your property or event is listed.)

Enable your experts and field technicians to collaborate
with the power of augmented reality.
Remote AR is a one-of-a-kind collaboration tool that allows remote field technicians and experts to connect via live video, audio, and a powerful annotation toolset that is augmented onto the real world.
Annotations and 3D models are placed by users through shared one-way video and stay locked onto the real world, giving rich context and eliminates confusion. No matter how users move around, their annotations will persist ensuring their message and intent never gets lost.
In our complex world, there is an array of hardware devices on the market and options continue to evolve. At Scope AR, we pride our software to be flexible and ensure our solutions work on hardware devices that are deployed in your organization today.
Remote AR has an off-the-shelf feature set that will allow users to share expertise and maximize collaboration.
Users have the ability to draw, highlight, place arrows, and share text bubbles on top of real world objects in a shared video. These annotation tools give users the flexibility to communicate and collaborate in any context.
In areas that lack sufficient cellular or wifi coverage, you can now turn on Low Bandwidth Mode. In this mode, technicians send snapshot images instead of live video. This reduces the amount of bandwidth needed while still allowing both expert and technician to annotate on top of the shared real world view. This mode ensures you can use Remote AR even in the worst of environments.
Using the latest depth camera hardware technology, Scope AR has achieved tracking with Remote AR using the Google Tango. Users can now take advantage of remote collaboration and place annotations and 3D content onto the real world without the need for a marker. Scope AR's software utilizes the most cutting edge technology to ensure your organization has the best available technology in its toolbelt.

Viva Libya !
The NATO proxy regime have issued a public statement that they intend to bring Saif Al Islam Gaddafi and Abdullah Al Senussi to trial in August, along with other key officials from the former legitimate government, including Dr. Baghdadi Al Mahmoudi, General Mansour Dowe and Dr. Abuzaid Dorda.
The men are accused of defending their country and the Al Fateh Revolution during the 2011 NATO-CIA orchestrated counter-revolution that destroyed the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and resulted in the martyrdom of the Leader of the Revolution, Muammar Al Gaddafi, along with his sons Saif Al Arab, Khamis and Mu'tasim.
The counter-revolution also involved the brutal massacre of over 100,000 Libyan civilians, the destruction of critical infrastructure including the water supply from the Great Man Made River, schools, hospitals, universities, food storage facilities and private homes.
(See NATO |"Rebel" War Crimes)
There are over two million Libyans in exile who live under constant threat of either extradition (See Dr. Moussa Ibrahim: Urgent Appeal for Displaced Libyans in Egypt ; Urgent: List of Libyans Wanted by the GNC on INTERPOL Wanted List) or assassination by NATO death squads (See Revolutionary Sister, Zohra Al-Buaishi, Assassinated in Cairo).
Those who remain inside the country face daily terror and upheaval as the regime wages a continuous campaign of repression, ethnic, ideological and political cleansing.
(See بيان اللجنة الحقوقية العالمية للدفاع عن الليبيين المهجرين و المضطهدين بالداخل)
Indeed, it is unclear how a trial can take place given the present climate of violence and impunity. The proxy government controls neither the country nor the militias that presently hold prisoners in locations such as Misratah and Zintan.
Yesterday the Tripoli Court of Appeals concluded a hearing for Abdel Ati Al Obeidi and Mohammed Abu Alqasim Azwai. Although both men were acquitted, they are to remain in detention pending the planned grand trial in August.
Numerous imperialist propaganda sources hailed yesterdays decision as proof that Libya can conduct "fair trials", yet it is known that the present regime will never release any former official that served the legitimate government.
It must also be noted that there is a distinction between being "able" to conduct "fair trials" and being "willing" to do so.
The regime are defiant in their disregard of the ICC's decision pertaining to Libya's right to hold trials for Saif Al Islam Gaddafi and Abdullah Al Senussi.
There is no evidence that the prisoners' basic human rights have been or will be respected or that they will not face execution.
Numerous human rights organizations and Doctors Without Borders have documented that prisoners have been tortured, brutally interrogated, denied legal counsel of their choice (in most cases they have never been granted any legal representation) and urgently needed medical treatment.
(See: In Their Own Words: The Official Zintani Position With Regards To Saif Al Islam Gaddafi; Urgent ! Mock Trials Have Begun In Misrata For Sheik Khalid Tantoush, Dr. Ahmed Ibrahim, General Mansour Dowe ; General Mansour Dowe Tortured in Misrata Prison ; Shiek Khaled Tantoush Tortured by Mistratah Militias ; Dr. Ahmed Ibrahim Confined in an Animal Pen ; After Eight Months, Abdullah Al Senussi Still Has No Access to Legal Counsel ; Abdullah Al Senussi's Son Seeks His Father's Immediate Transfer to the ICC For Urgent Medical Treatment)
There are over 10,000 political prisoners in Libya. Many are being detained as part of a racist pogrom and campaign of genocide of Libyans with black skin.
(See: The Names Of Over 1000 Political Prisoners In Libya Detained Because They Are Black )
This document from the Cairo Institute of Human Rights (Ongoing Human Rights Situation in Libya) outlines the criminal violations of the current regime which include collective punishment, (See Bani Walid), denial of freedom of religion, expression and assembly, (See Arrests and Torture of Christians Continues in Libya; Torture, Murder and Imprisonment of Christians in Libya ; Islamists Destroy Sufi Shrine. GNC Implicated in Desecrations.) abuse of foreign nationals, refugees and migrants and the torture of prisoners.
This is not a government that is willing to conduct fair trials. This regime will never respect human rights or the rule of law. Its actions over the past two years are adequate testament to its character and agenda.

Over the last few years, the classic synthesis of benzimidazoles has low yields and through complex routes. In the past thirty years organic thermochemistry has developed rapidly and led to a wealth of novel reactions and applications that can be of great significance. The present work has been devoted to study of thermal fragmentation of aromatic and heterocyclic amidoximes I-VI at 220-240oC alone and /or in the presence of naphthalene and tetralin as radical scavengers. The main feature of these thermolyses is the homolysis of the N-O and C-N bonds initiating different free radical reactions. These studies have been led to the formation of novel synthesis of a variety of heterocyclic compounds like; benzimidazole derivatives as the major products (45-60 %) in addition to benzoxazoles, carbazoles and triazine as the minor products. such reactions in an effort to gain further information about more generalized thermolytic mechanism to account for the identified products. In addition to the aimed synthetic value of the work, mechanistic studies and environmental applications are also targeted.

what countries are affected by rubella (german measles)?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The rubella virus causes Rubella or German Measles. This disease occurs worldwide, with the peak time around spring in temperate climates. Due to the introduction of a vaccination in 1969, occurrences in the U.S. and Europe are more rare. Therefore, the Western hemisphere is relatively free of this disease. However, it still has outbreaks in men in the UK because they weren't vaccinnated. And, developing countries still get outbreaks as they are not able to access the vaccine. Symptoms include a one to three day disease period, which is usually mild and is acquired by airborne droplets--incubation takes 2-3 weeeks. It is more of a danger to infants and pregnant women. If the mother is infected within the first 20 weeks of her pregnancy, the baby may be spontaneously aborted or born with serious and incurable illnesses. In others, the disease can be mild and even pass unnoticed.

This post about God's Not Dead 2 contains affiliate links. Many thanks to Grace Hill Media for providing the opportunity to giveaway a prize bundle.
I can hardly believe it has been 2 years since God's Not Dead hit movie theaters. Several members of our church's youth group went to see it and were seriously impacted by the message. I was both surprised and thrilled to hear that there is a sequel coming soon…God's Not Dead 2.
God's Not Dead 2 is about taking a stand. It's about courage and faith. This movie will encourage us to reflect on our own lives and ask ourselves the question whether we have the courage and faith to fight for our God-given right to share and express our beliefs no matter the cost.
The film's central theme of religious liberty is a hot topic being addressed in our classrooms, courtrooms and national news today.
The film directed by Harold Cronk stars Melissa Joan Hart, Jesse Metcalfe, David A.R. White, Pat Boone, Hayley Orrantia, Benjamin Oyango, Paul Kwo, Ray Wise, Sadie Robertson, and Robin Givens. There are also cameo appearances by Gov. Mike Huckabee, leading Christian apologist Lee Strobel and The Newsboys.
Synopsis of God's Not Dead 2
From the college classroom of GOD'S NOT DEAD to the public square in GOD'S NOT DEAD 2, the name of Jesus is welcomed less and less with each passing day.
If Christians don't take a stand today, will we even have a choice tomorrow?
The film takes you back to Hope Springs, home to the University, but also Martin Luther King Jr. High School, where beloved teacher Grace Wesley teaches her passion, history. Her love of teaching, her love for her students, and her love of life all come from the same place: her love of Christ.
When a student asks a question regarding Jesus in class, Grace's answer causes her to face an epic court case, that could expel God from the classroom.
Gov. Mike Huckabee endorsement, "A riveting story, brilliantly told, and one that is absolutely plausible as if it were taken from today's headlines. A must see for every believer!"

What if we saw climate action as a good thing?
Not a sacrifice, not a cost, but an opportunity to create a better future.
The future we want, not the future we fear.
We'd tackle climate change differently -- understanding that the journey ahead is a long one, that it will start with simple steps, and that it will gain momentum over time.
We would help people take action in ways that improve their lives -- save money, reduce stress, create jobs, build communities, and increase our quality of life.
We would use that momentum to encourage governments to invest in our future -- in transit, green energy and conservation, a green economy, and complete communities.
We'd start by helping people take action -- in their own way, and for their own reasons.
We'd put people at the heart of our climate plans.
The Blue Arrow: the symbol for climate action
Read our Climate Plan for Canadians, or scroll down for our priorities.
Our Priorities
Four steps to a national movement
Climate Action Canada is not an organization, it is an idea for a national collaboration that uses the urgency of climate action to create a better future for Canada. Climate action should not only reduce carbon emissions, it should do so in ways that help us save money and live better, strengthen our communities, and create good jobs.
Eventually, Climate Action Canada should be a collaboration between governments, businesses, and organizations. Right now, the challenge is to build a common commitment to connecting climate action with social benefit. There are four initial priorities, each one laying the foundation for the next:
- 1. A nation-wide petition: We need to build a strong social mandate and encourage our local, provincial and national governments to place people at the heart of climate plans, using climate action as the path to a better future for Canadians and our communities.
- 2. Funding climate action: We need to strengthen the funding for climate action through carbon pricing, climate philanthropy and grassroots fundraising.
- 3. Community Action: We need to strengthen community capacity to engage residents and help them take action, and to take on climate action projects that benefit the community.
- 4. Climate Leaders: We need to promote a nation of climate leaders, in our homes, our businesses, and our communities.
There's room for everyone in climate action

Expert Thermocouple Manufacturer
Since 1997 we have been designing and manufacturing custom thermocouples for clients all over the world. Unlike some thermocouple suppliers we are focused solely on the manufacture of temperature sensors. We have seen the temperature sensor market mature but we continue to manufacture sensors to an ever growing range of industries, from traditional sensor users such as cryogenics and glass manufacture, to emerging industries such as low emission testing and industrial compost manufacture.
What is a Thermocouple?
A thermocouple (TC) is a sensor that is used to measure temperature. It consists of two wire conductors made out of different metals. When these metals are welded together, a junction is formed. The temperature can be calculated by working out the voltage generated when a temperature change is detected. There are a number of different TC types and designs that each performs best at certain temperatures and in specific environments.
Designs we manufacture include:
If you are unsure exactly what you need, get in touch and we can help identify your requirements.
Rare Metal Thermocouple Assemblies
Peak Sensors manufacture rare metal assemblies, also called noble metal thermocouples or Platinum/rhodium alloy thermocouples, and can provide bespoke/custom designed sensors to your process or work to your specification and drawings. All types of rare metal TC can be supplied including Type R, Type S or Type B.
Base Metal Thermocouple Assemblies
Base metal assemblies are commonly made from various nickel alloys. Different combinations of nickel alloys have become popular industry standards. We can manufacture bespoke/custom designed sensors to your process or work to your specification and drawings in all common thermocouple types including: Type K, Type J, Type N, Type E and Type T.
Mineral Insulated Thermocouples
MI thermocouples are a stable, durable temperature measurement solution. MI TC's consist of an outer metal sheath, which has an inner filling of magnesium oxide powder. This powder surrounds the conductors providing great thermal conduction and also enabling the sensor to be bent into various shapes without affecting the measuring point.We are able to offer mineral insulated sensors in both simplex and duplex assemblies.
Cable Thermocouples
In cable thermocouples the sensor conductors are protected by flexible cable insulation. Depending on requirements the insulation can be PVC, Silicon rubber, PTFE or Glass fibre. There are many different designs of cable TC that are suitable for almost any application.
Thermocouple Inserts and Elements
Inserts can be inexpensive to produce and are ideal for insertion into an existing thermowell assembly. We can also supply various thermocouple elements for use in your own designs or to replace your existing broken elements.
Hand Held Thermocouple Probes
We can supply an extensive range of hand held thermocouple probes for use in a variety of environments. Most hand held probes come with a mini plug for connection to hand held instrumentation.

Latest Development
•Vietnam's economic growth edged down to 4.4% year-on year (YoY) in the first half year of 2012 due to a slowdown in the production, business and consumption sectors, down from 5.6% in the year-earlier period.
•In line with the fall in international commodity prices, inflation eased to 12.2% YoY in the first half year of 2012, down sharply from 21.2% in the year-earlier period.
• Vietnam's exports surged by 34.2% to US$96.9 billion in 2011, while imports grew by 25.8% to US$106.7 billion, with the trade deficit narrowing to US$9.8 billion, the lowest in a decade.
•Hong Kong's exports to Vietnam surged by 23.3% YoY to US$3.2 billion In the first six months of 2012, while imports increased by 103.1% YoY to US$2.0 billion during the same period.
Current Economic Situation
Vietnam's economic growth edged down to 5.9% YoY in 2011 from 6.8% in 2010. The slowdown was due to the tighter monetary and fiscal policy in response to accelerated inflation. The agriculture, industry and services sectors registered respective growth rates of 4%, 5.5% and 7%.
In the first half year of 2012, Vietnam's economy slowed to 4.4% YoY from 5.6% in the year-earlier period. Slower GDP growth was due to the decelerated activities in the production, business and consumption sectors. The World Bank forecasts that the Vietnamese economy to grow at 5.6% in 2012, echoing the view of the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MoPI) that Vietnam is unlikely to meet the GDP target of 6%-6.5%, with the growth rate now seen at 5.2%-5.7%.
Vietnam's inflation grew by 18.7% in 2011, triggered by high international commodity prices and strong domestic credit growth. The decline in international commodity prices in the first half year of 2012 helped nudge down Vietnam's inflation to 12.2% YoY compared with 21.2% in the year-earlier period. According to the IMF, Vietnam's inflation will ease to 12.6% in 2012, yet still above the official target of less than 10%.
Following the disappointing GDP data and slower inflation in the first half year of 2012, Vietnam is seen as pursuing a more accommodative monetary policy to support economic growth. In July 2012, the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) cut its benchmark interest rates by lowering the refinancing rate from 11% to 10 %, the fifth time in 2012 following a string of cuts in March, April, May and June.
External Trade
Vietnam's exports surged by 34.2% to US$96.9 billion in 2011, while imports grew 25.8% to US$106.7 billion, with the trade deficit narrowing to US$9.8 billion, the lowest in a decade.
Among the export industries, textile and garments still had a relatively larger share to account for 14.5% of total merchandise exports in 2011. Crude oil came second with a 7.5% share. Telephones, mobile phones and parts ranked third with a 7.1% share (almost double from 2010). The top two export markets of Vietnam in 2011 were the US and Japan. In the first five months in 2012, garment and textile products exported reached US$5.5 billion, up 11% YoY.
In addition, the bulk of imports in 2011 consisted of machinery, equipment and parts (14% of the total), as well as petroleum products (9.3%). In addition, China remained the largest source of Vietnam's imports in 2011, followed by Korea and Japan.
Tourism was gaining importance in 2011, in which Vietnam attracted over 6 million foreign tourists for the first time, representing a 19.1% growth over 2010. Therefore, tourism revenues reached 130 trillion dong (roughly US$6.5 billion) with a YoY growth of 30%. Vietnam expects to welcome 6.5 million foreign tourists in 2012 and targets to generate about US$10 billion in tourism revenue and attract about 7.5 million overseas visitors in 2015.
WTO Accession
Vietnam became a World Trade Organisation (WTO) member in January 2007. While facing fewer restrictions and lower tariffs in export markets, Vietnamese manufacturers also benefit from the improving access to imports of cheaper raw materials and semi-processed inputs as Vietnam's import tariffs drop.
Upon its WTO accession in January 2007, Vietnam was committed to bound tariff rates on most products ranging from zero to 35%, although tariffs on cars and motorbikes remain high, with certain sensitive products (such as eggs, tobacco, sugar and salt) subject to tariff quotas (higher duties for quantities exceeding the quotas).
Among other benefits, WTO accession allows Vietnam to take advantage of the phase-out of the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing, which eliminated quotas on textiles and clothing for WTO partners on 1 January 2005.
In January 2009, Vietnam allowed foreign investors to operate 100% foreign-owned retail business as per its WTO commitments. Previously, foreign companies had to form joint ventures with local companies if they wanted to enter the retail market.
CAFTA Membership
The China-ASEAN Free Trade Area (CAFTA), formally established in January 2010, is one of the world's largest free trade area by population (1.9 billion), with a combined GDP of more than US$7.7 trillion and total trade value of US$4.8 trillion. Under CAFTA, Vietnam will eliminate 90% of its tariff lines for goods traded with China. The remaining 10%, including textiles, fall under the list of sensitive items and their import tariffs will be lowered more slowly.
The General Department of Vietnam Customs announced in July 2012 that China was the country's biggest trading partner in the first five months of 2012, with bilateral trade reaching US$15.7 billion, up by 19% YoY.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
According to Vietnam's Ministry of Planning and Investment, Vietnam attracted 1,091 licensed FDI projects in 2011 with total registered investment capital of US$11.6 billion. Hong Kong became Vietnam's largest FDI source in 2011, with a registered investment capital of US$3.1 billion, followed by Japan, Singapore and South Korea.
In the first half of 2012, Vietnam attracted 452 new FDI projects amounting to US$4.8 billion, plus 123 projects raising their registered capital by US$1.6 billion, totalling US$6.4 billion.

I Recently had windows replaced at my house(Such a stressfull process). I got quotes from a few places in and around the Springfield Illinois Area. I called the Glass Doctor. Saw some reviews, good and bad. But couldn't tell for which shop they were directed. I spoke with Tim when I called. He was very pleasant to speak with and tried his best to get me headed in the right direction. Bob Blaise came out to measure as I found out he is the most knowledgeable glass tech I have Ever met! About two hours after Bob left I was called by Tim with my quote. The quote was $250 cheaper than Bacon, and $100 cheaper than Ave. Glass (Those guys are Beyond rude). I came in that same day, paid half down to proceed with my order, then was told 7-10 days my windows would be in. On day number 8 I received a call from Tim that my windows were in followed by an appointment date being set. On day number 10 Bob and Louie came out and did a wonderful job!

I asked if my windows were "not special order", and he said, "yes they are, but inside of interior trim would have been extra" (bait and switch). I asked him about the U factor. He said - "oh, those are only for double hungs, not sliders". I reminded him that I specifically asked for u value of .27. He started yelling. I kicked him out of the house.
