Well, it happened last week (Thursday to be exact). I now have two part time jobs. Though it will in no way be close to what we were used to income wise - it is a huge blessing.
The first job came out of nowhere. A friend offered my a shortterm job at her office (she's a dentist) as a way to help us out. She didn't have to do it and I didn't ask. So it was great to have that happen. God providing.
The second job I did apply for. Ah, now I am a proud member of the Target family :) I start work tomorrow morning at 5am (I never got up that early for a youth event!) It will be a very tiring job, but I think I will enjoy it. I mean, come on, I get to be in the store before it even opens :)
I pray these two jobs don't last forever, but I am very thankful for them.
Lately, both my wife and I have really been desiring to get back involved with a church family. We miss the interaction and fellowship and long to get back into ministry.
(stay tuned for more updates on God's faithfulness during our transition)

Ramen Noodles and God
Well, today marks the end of the first week without my severence. It has begun to be more and more real that we are not going to be able to live within the same means we did a month ago. We have been not looking forward to this, but we know God is still in control.
God has shown Himself in a number of ways over the last few days. I wish that I could explain better than I am about to just how awesome and amazing God is. Allow me to try to share some of the amazing things God has done:
1. we are continually amazed at the generousity of others. We have recieved a number of checks or cash from people who wanted to help us out (and they have).
2. A friend of ours went and bought us some groceries. Well, I should say a lot of groceries. When they told us they wanted to buy us some groceries, we expected a bag full. What we got was 6 bags of groceries (including one full of meat). Wow, how amazing to have friends basically buy us almost a month's worth of groceries.
3. A family member gave us a gift card for a grocery store. So we were able to buy even more of the stuff we need.
4. The biggest help came in the form of an unexpected visit from some friends that we hadn't seen in a while. Through a series of events, including an email from a friend asking for prayer for us, these friends heard that we were still in the area and had not found a new ministry yet. They prayed about our situation and felt led to give us some money to help with our move (backed by a reassurance because they heard we had to get some brake work done on my car) or with our stay in town. Well, they wrote us a check from almost 2 months worth of my salary. I can't tell you how much I was humbled and touched. I think I cried for about 10 minutes, just being thankful to God for all He has done.
There is more that I could write about, but there are the biggest. God listens to prayer. God provides. God is faithful
Never forget why you work in ministry. Never forget the God you serve.

And in order for you to be successful you have to read and look at and understanding well.
The first is that you must know and understand how to calculate poker odds, identify opportunities, and understand the formula chance that some cards will appear. Please learn to know how to calculate poker odds. Utilizing a formula can be used to calculate poker odds. Once you know the full number of cards in hand, multiply that number by four. This number can give a percentage for the flop. After that you try to multiply the two to get a percentage of the estimated turn.
This trick should you use when you play at the bingo table. The following are some of the pairs of cards with a chance to win when you bet your entire chips in table. But not be an accurate benchmark for each server in Zynga poker always removes the card at different tables.
In the game of online poker zynga multiple servers that often exclude big card on the table or many servers that issue cards or small and middle randomly. This is referred to as program random method or a program that is run by random. In this game, you must be smart to choose which server you want to go to put your chips on the table games, Turnover on the table also affects the cards in hand. Do not be anxious and playing in hot conditions and minds, because this will make the game you become uncontrollable. Use your instinct to make a decision. Use strong estimate. You have to take the decision to leave the table in the 3-5x card game if you do not show up or often get a card that does not support.

Sources: HCJB Global, El Comercio
Ecuador's Ministry of Health said cases of the influenza virus H1N1 have risen to eight just days after a report of the nation's first case. The first incidence of the illness was confirmed on Friday, May 15, by Ecuadorian Health Minister Caroline Chang (pictured at left in file photo).
The parents of Adriana Elías, the first person in Ecuador to be diagnosed with the illness, challenged whether their 12-year-old daughter, a student at Colegio Americano in Guayaquil, indeed had the virus. They claimed in a media briefing that she suffered from rinopharynitis, not influenza A (H1N1), commonly referred to as swine flu.
The Health Ministry in Quito responded by apologizing if the family had not received sufficient information on the illness. The ministry's director general, Carmen Laspina, rejected the parents' claims that their child suffered from rinopharynitis. She said testing at Izquieta Pérez (Hospital de Infectología) is reliable, and Chang later reconfirmed the diagnosis of the first case by the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control.
The Health Ministry reported that of the newer flu cases, one came as a result of contact with Elías at Colegio Americano. The ministry on Wednesday confirmed seven new cases (six in Guayaquil and one in Quito) of influenza A (H1N1).
To help prevent its spread, previous guidelines and precautions still apply. For example, when news of the flu outbreak in Mexico broke in late April, HCJB Global Hands' Hospital Vozandes-Quito (below, file photo) posted "Cover Your Cough" signs to educate patients and visitors about taking basic steps to help prevent the spread of respiratory infections.
At the nearby Alliance Academy International (AAI) in Quito, teachers have been informed of their responsibility and are aware of their role in working to prevent this disease.
"We will be providing disinfectant gel in each classroom and are keeping close communication with the nurses' office for updates and effective prevention information to be used for our benefit," said AAI Director David Wells.
Hospital Vozandes-Quito continues to serve as a sentinel site in Ecuador for the detection of the H1N1 virus as well as other emerging strains of influenza. This surveillance is taking place in collaboration with the U.S. Navy Tropical Disease Research Laboratory in Lima, Peru. Chang said hospitals have necessary medical supplies and the antiviral drug Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) for treatment of influenza A (H1N1).
Surcos High School in Quito suspended a trip to the Dominican Republic planned for 20 seniors. The decision complied with a May 5 decree by Ecuador's Education Ministry to suspend student trips abroad in an effort to avoid the risk of infection.
The basketball and soccer teams of Cotopaxi Academy in Quito also saw the cancellation of travel plans to Trinidad and Tobago. "It's a measure to safeguard the integrity and well-being of the students," said the school's director, William Johnston.

Cameron Dollar (born (1975-12-09)December 9, 1975) is an American college basketball coach, currently an assistant at the University of Washington. He was previously the head coach for the Seattle University Redhawks men's basketball team. Dollar was previously an assistant coach under Lorenzo Romar at the University of Washington. Dollar attended University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and was a member of the 1995 UCLA Bruins national championship team. In the championship game against Arkansas, he replaced injured starter Tyus Edney as the Bruins won 89–78. Dollar was born in Atlanta, Georgia.
Dollar was recruited to UCLA while playing at a prep school in Maryland by then-Bruins assistant coach Mark Gottfried. Dollar attended UCLA in the fall of 1993. Leading up to the final game against Arkansas in the 1995 NCAA tournament, the team was uncertain of the status of Tyus Edney, their starting point guard, who had injured his wrist in the semifinals against Oklahoma State. After Edney did not return after leaving less than three minutes into the Arkansas game, Dollar played 36 minutes and contributed eight assists and four steals as UCLA won the championship game, 89–78. Asked if UCLA would have won without Dollar's performance, then-UCLA coach Jim Harrick said, "Absolutely not." Earlier in the tournament against Missouri, Dollar inbounded the ball with 4.8 seconds left in the game to Edney, who drove the length of the court and hit a bank shot as time expired to win 75–74 in the second round.
Dollar started in his last two seasons, and the Bruins won three Pacific-10 Conference championships. During his four-year career, Dollar averaged 5.0 points, 3.7 assists and 2.3 rebounds. "His leadership qualities were off the charts," Harrick said. "He was always an extension of the coach on the floor."
At age 22, Dollar was the country's youngest college coach when he was first hired as a head coach at Southern California College, n National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) school (now known as Vanguard University). He served ten years (1999–2009) as an assistant to current Washington head coach Lorenzo Romar (including the last three years (1999–2002) of Romar's tenure at Saint Louis), who was himself an assistant on Jim Harrick's UCLA staff during Dollar's career. Dollar's time in Washington was marked by a recruiting violation in 2002, resulting in a one-month suspension.
Dollar was hired in the spring of 2009 as head coach at Seattle University, which was transitioning to compete in Division I after dropping out in 1980. He was fired after eight seasons, though he was soon re-hired as an assistant at Washington under new coach Mike Hopkins.
Dollar has three children. His father, Donald, was a longtime high school basketball coach in Georgia who won three state championships and more than 600 games. Dollar hired Donald as an assistant at Seattle. Dollar's mother was slain in Atlanta when Cameron was 4 years old. His brother Chad served as an assistant coach at Arkansas State. Dollar is a Christian.

Levy lets Fly – Rugby Australia and the FFA
A couple of major decisions are expected to be made next week by Rugby Australia and Football Federation Australia, but will there be any real changes made?
The sporting administrators at the FFA and Rugby Australia seem to be to unable to make a decision on major coaching issues and the expansion of the A-League.
This morning during the Levy Lets Fly segment on the Macquarie Sports Breakfast Show, Mark Levy asked "if you put yourself in the boardroom at Rugby Australia — would you push on with Michael Cheika as coach of the Wallabies ahead of the World Cup? And if you were a board member of the FFA — who would you hand a licence for an expanded A League?".

Simulations of the interstellar medium at high redshift: What does [CII] trace?
Dr. Karen Olsen, Arizona State University
We are in an exciting era were simulations on large, cosmological scales meet modeling of the interstellar medium (ISM) on sub-parsec scales. This gives us a way to predict and interpret observations of the ISM, and in particular the star-forming gas, in high-redshift galaxies, useful for ongoing and future ALMA/VLA projects.
In this talk, I will walk you though the current state of simulations targeting the the fine structure line of [CII] at 158 microns, which has now been observed in several z>6 galaxies. [CII] can arise throughout the interstellar medium (ISM), but the brightness of the [CII] line depends strongly on local environment within a galaxy, meaning that the ISM phase dominating the [CII] emission can depend on galaxy type. This complicates the use of [CII] as a tracer of either SFR or ISM mass and calls for detailed modeling following the different ways in which [CII] can be excited.
I will present SÍGAME (Simulator of GAlaxy Millimeter/submillimeter emission) – a novel method for predicting the origin and strength of line emission from galaxies. Our method combines data from cosmological simulations with sub-grid physics that carefully calculates local radiation field strength, pressure, and ionizational/thermal balance. Preliminary results will be shown from recent modeling of [CII] emission from z~6 star-forming galaxies with SÍGAME. We find strong potential for using the total [CII] luminosity to derive the ISM and molecular gas mass of galaxies during the Epoch of Reionization (EoR).
A Faint Flux-Limited LAE Sample at z = 0.3
Isak Wold, UT Austin
Observational surveys of Lya emitters (LAEs) have proven to be an efficient method to identify and study large numbers of galaxies over a wide redshift range. To understand what types of galaxies are selected in LAE surveys – and how this evolves with redshift – it is important to establish a low-redshift reference sample that can be directly compared to high-redshift samples. The lowest redshift where a direct Lya survey is currently possible is at a redshift of z~0.3 via the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX ) FUV grism data. Using the z~0.3 GALEX sample as an anchor point, it has been suggested that at low redshifts high equivalent width (EW) LAEs become less prevalent and that the amount of escaping Lya emission declines rapidly. A number of explanations for these trends have been suggested including increasing dust content, increasing neutral column density, and/or increasing metallicity of star-forming galaxies at lower redshifts. However, the published z~0.3 GALEX sample is pre-selected from bright NUV objects. Thus, objects with strong Lya emission but faint continuum (high-EW LAEs) could be missed. In this talk, I will present my efforts to re-reduce the deepest archival GALEX FUV grism data and obtain a sample that is not biased against high-EW LAEs. I will discuss the implications of this new sample on the evolutionary trends listed above.

What's the Maximum Balance Transfer You Can Do?
*Editorial Note: The content of this article is based on the author's opinions and recommendations alone. It has not been previewed, commissioned or otherwise endorsed by any credit card issuer. This site may be compensated through a credit card issuer partnership.
This article was last updated Jan 06, 2020. Terms and conditions may have changed. For the most accurate information, please consult the issuer website.
Many credit cards come with a balance transfer option you can use to consolidating credit card debt, which can allow you to take advantage of a lower interest rate, keep bill collectors off your back or free up money for large purchases.
"Avoiding interest on a balance for a year or more can significantly reduce how much it costs and how long it takes to pay down your card debt, and that's a really good thing," said Matt Schulz, chief industry analyst at CompareCards. "However, if you're just shifting balances around to make room for more spending, that's just asking for trouble."
How much can you transfer?
How much you can transfer depends on the issuer. Some card issuers allow you to transfer any balance amount to it as long as that amount is smaller than your available credit limit.
But you may not necessarily be able to transfer an amount exactly equal to your card limit if your card charges a balance transfer fee or the card Issuer sets percentage limits on the amount you can transfer. For example, let's say your card has $10,000 in available credit. If the card charges a typical balance transfer fee of 3% to 5%, you couldn't transfer exactly $10,000 — it that would throw you over the limit by $300 or $500. If your card issuer has a percentage limit of 75% of your available balance, you will only be able to transfer $7,500 — not the entire $10,000 balance — from the other card. Two of the three cards reviewed below allow you to transfer your entire credit limit, while the third allows you to transfer 95%, all minus the balance transfer fees.
Consider the number of balance transfers you can do in a month. Some credit card providers set limits to this as a security measure for protection against identity theft. They don't want someone else transferring all their debts to your account. You will need to contact your credit card company to find out how many transfers you can do and how much of your credit limit you can transfer.
Another thing to consider is the current status of your credit. You're much more likely to qualify for a balance transfer card if you have good to excellent credit. Card companies tend to avoid approving intro balance transfer offers to those with poor or bad credit, seeing them as too risky.
We'll outline the benefits and pitfalls that come with executing a balance transfer. We'll also share three cards that offer generous intro balance transfer APR rates for your consideration.

The bottom line
It's important to understand all of the fees and deadlines that come with a balance transfer before getting the card.
The ideal card gives you at least 12 months — or even more — for a 0% intro APR for a balance transfer. It also allows you to transfer the maximum amount, right up to your credit limit minus fees, on the card.
The below graph shows the average credit card balances per capita:
Considering the highest state average is over $4,000, most people could likely benefit from a balance transfer deal thought it's important to make sure you know what the card's balance transfer APR is after the intro period. "We all think that we're going to pay off that transferred balance before the introductory period ends, but life happens and it's not always possible," said Schulz. "Knowing ahead of time what rate you'll pay once the introductory period is over can save you an unpleasant surprise later on."

If you want to buy a bathtub, you should not only select it based on how it looks. Rather, you must consider how much space it can take in the bathroom and what material it should consist of.
Bathtubs come in a variety of shapes and colors. In the past, they were usually reserved for the upper class. Only at the end of the 19th century, the so-called "people's bathtub" was produced at large scale, so that now everyone could bathe regularly. While bathtubs were made of wood or hot-dip galvanized steel, today there are made from very different materials. Whether made of steel enamel, cast iron or acrylic, there is something for everyone. But often the conditions in your own bathroom and the budget limit your choices. In addition, not every material is easy to maintain and is durable. Do some research to make the right choice for your bathroom renovation.
Different bathtub dimensions
Where is room for the tub? Should it stand in the middle of the room, lean against a wall or in a corner? Which form makes sense for the location, which color do you like best? These are all things to consider if you choose the size of your bathtub.
It's best to visit a specialized store before the purchase and to make a test. If you feel embarrassed, you should do your own measures: a bathtub is only comfortable if you can dive to the neck and your shoulders are narrower than the inner width of the tub. If the tub is too big, you will slip back and forth.
If you are looking for something special, you will find bathtub models with five, six or even eight corners. Such space-saving tubs are particularly suitable for narrow bathrooms because you can install them in corners. For a spacious bathroom, you have the choice between freestanding bathtubs in a round, oval or rectangular shape. Clever details add to the sense of well-being: neck rolls support the head, armrests give grip, and handles make it easier to get in and out. In addition to series models, there are also custom-made, particularly unusual bathtubs that are equipped with all sorts of gadgets: underwater music or colored light effects.
Which materials to choose for the bathtub?
Cast iron or copper. A bathtub like this looks beautiful in vintage homes, but it's pretty heavy. To install it, you absolutely need someone with experience. On the other hand, cast iron stores heat very well and feels pleasant to the touch. It's also resistant to stains and scratches.
Steel enamel. Steel enamel bathtubs have been very popular since the 1960s. The advantage: the material is particularly hard-wearing and durable. It's considered almost indestructible. Since steel sheet is more difficult to process than plastic, there is less choice in terms of shapes. Enamel covers the surface of the bathtub and protects it from corrosion, as well as repels dirt, bacteria, and fungi. The only drawback of steel enamel is the low heat storage capacity. The bathtub feels rather cold.
Solid surface material or mineral casting. Bathtubs made of composite materials based on acrylic or synthetic resin mixed with minerals are hard as stone, but light as acrylic. They are particularly resistant and easy to maintain. The composites are under various manufacturer-specific brand names on the market.
Sanitary acrylic. Sanitary acrylic is a plastic that can be deformed under the influence of heat. Since the 1970s, this material has increasingly been used for bathtubs, enabling new shapes and designs. Unlike steel enamel, it stores heat much better and is also much lighter. Although it is unbreakable, shock and impact resistant, it can get scratched. Price differences result from the material composition: objects made of acrylic-coated plastic panels or recycled acrylic is less expensive than solid-colored sanitary acrylic, which is considered the highest-grade material.
Glass, wood, concrete or marble. These designer pieces are usually expensive and weigh much, especially in the case of stone or concrete. In this case, you should consider if the structure of the bathroom is strong enough to hold them.
Regardless which type of bathtub you choose, make sure that you leave the installation process to a professional, because you will avoid any mistakes or problems that might occur and you will enjoy your bathtub for a long time.
Bathtub maintenance
Although not all materials are equally easy to care for, it's best always to read through the respective instructions of the producer. But there are some tips that you should always follow in order to have a nice, clean bathtub for as long as possible.
For example, adjust the dosage of the cleanser and never allow it to adhere to the surface for longer than necessary. Prevent calcifications by regularly cleaning your bathtub – preferably with a soft cloth or a non-abrasive sponge immediately after using the tub. Then rinse with clean water. Don't use abrasives, they scratch the pore-smooth surface as well as microfiber cloths – their cleaning effect is due to the abrasive effect of the microfibers. If you want to remove limescale, you should apply the cleaner directly on the surface and rinse it with plenty of water.

Second Year Has Begun
We had a great and inspirational year last year and the Facebook group decided in a poll to have this year's inspirational game based on the Seasons.
The rules of the game have changed a bit from last year. Instead of entries counting towards random drawings, all prizes during the year are going to be given out to random participating members, maybe for an awesome recipe, maybe a prize for someone who is participating frequently, and maybe a prize will be given out just because one of the moderators or I feel like it. The point of this game isn't to just get prizes or be entered into a drawing, it's to inspire our mixing into the next level. Giving folks the chance to maybe mix outside their normal zone, or new mixers to experiment with new flavors, or to breathe a little life into mixing for us experienced mixers. It can be as challenging as you want to make it, all types of recipes that correspond to the weekly challenge are excepted.
We may have some sponsored weeks with prizes and those will have some rules provided, but most weeks shall just be a picture, untitled, without extra fluff…just take the picture and see what it inspires. This game is meant to be fun, it doesn't require weekly participation. Since we won't be doing raffles with deadlines for entries all weeks (with exception to singular weeks with a sponsored giveaway) will remain open for submissions and listed in the Units section of the facebook group. So if your recipe needs a steep before you want to submit it, you will have the chance to submit it weeks later to the week that inspired you. If it's a sponsored week you may have restrictions to submit that week only to qualify for a drawing, but the comments will remain open so submission of recipes post-drawing.

Generally speaking the entire area forms part of the Yucatan Platform and is underlain by massive beds of limestone. Faulting on a NE-SW alignment has created a series of blocks that are slipping downwards to the east, resulting in a series of escarpments across the landscape – Lalucha, Rio Bravo, Booth's River and New River within the RBCMA with the sequence continuing eastwards to the outer cayes. The Booth's River escarpment divides the RBCMA be- tween two land regions each with a number of land systems, briefly described below:
The Bravo Hills – the upland (20-300 m asl) region west of the Booth's River, underlain by hard limestone.
The Northern Coastal Plain – the lowland (0-20 m asl) region east of Booth's River, mainly underlain by softer limestone and covered with leached Pleistocene alluvia over extensive areas. The land systems can be divided into three basic types:
Broad-leaf forest areas – typically over limestone with neutral to alkaline clay soils.
Pine savannah areas – forming over leached Pleistocene alluvia, with nutrient-poor acid soils.
Swamps – permanently waterlogged with organic mud over sand or clay.
Parts of three watersheds lie within the RBCMA:
Some 60% of the area lies in the Rio Hondo watershed, including the mid-reaches of Booth's River and the Rio Bravo and the headwaters of Blue Creek/Rio Azul. The latter flow west- wards before turning back through Guatemala and Mexico to form the international fron- tier. The RBCMA thus covers a significant part (c. 22%) of the Belizean part of the basin al- though this is a small part of the whole – only 18% of the Hondo system lies within Belize and only c. 4% on the RBCMA.
The remaining 40% of the RBCMA lies in the New River basin, representing 21% of the entire system including most of the upper reaches of its main tributaries. The RBCMA also covers both banks of the southern third of the New River Lagoon, the largest inland water body in the country.
The extreme south-eastern boundary of the RBCMA runs onto Labouring Creek, which is part of the Belize River system but represents an insignificant part of the total.
The ecosystems follow the work of Meerman & Sabido, 2001 updated 2011); Brokaw 1998 and Bridgewater et al. The three major ecosystems are Broadleaf Forests; Pine savannah formations; Wetland and aquatic ecosystems and briefly described here:
Tropical evergreen seasonal broadleaf forest over calcareous soils: Tehuantepec-Peten variant – the main high broad-leaf forest type.
Tropical evergreen seasonal broadleaf forest over calcareous soils: central-western variant – The main high broad-leaf forest type on the eastern RBCMA .
Tropical evergreen seasonal broadleaf forest over calcareous soils: central-eastern variant – Limited to the extreme south-eastern RBCMA.
Tropical evergreen seasonal broadleaf lowland swamp forest: tall variant – forests subject to seasonal flooding.
Tropical evergreen seasonal broadleaf lowland swamp forest: low variant – widespread throughout the RBCMA .
Evergreen lowland broadleaf shrubland dominated by leguminous shrubs- called bajo forest or bajo thicket by Brokaw.
Tropical evergreen seasonal broadleaf forest over lime-rich alluvium – used for the forests along the Rio Bravo.
Disturbed habitats
Broad-leaved lowland disturbed shrubland – re-growth (generally now well advanced) of areas cleared in the 1980s.
Evergreen lowland broadleaf shrubland: Miconia variant – used for a range of brushy mixed forest types transitional with the pine savannahs. Some areas qualify as tropical evergreen seasonal broadleaf forest on poor or sandy soils but are not mapped as such (though corrected in Meerman 2005).
Short-grass savannah with shrubs – the open savannahs with variable cover of broad-leaved shrubs.
Short-grass savannah with scattered needle-leaved trees – the open savannahs with scattered pine.
Tropical lowland tall herbaceous swamp – used for all extensive swamps and actually also including areas of tropical lowland reed-swamp.
Freshwater mangrove scrub – mapped on the Booth's River marshes though patches occur on other rivers, especially on Ramgoat Creek where they are associated with marl flats (distinguished by Brokaw).
The Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area encompass seventy-five percent of the watersheds in Northern Belize, namely the New River, Rio Hondo, and Belize River watersheds.
Long-term research programmes on the RBCMA ecosystems mean that the flora, and especially the woody flora, is relatively well known with some 745 species recorded to date. Diversity is average for a tropical system (50-60 woody species/ha in mesic forest) and the outstanding feature is that the area contains extensive tracts of land with complete and characteristic communities in fully functioning ecosystems. These include species characteristic of both the Peten and, especially in the northern RBCMA, to the dryer moist forests of the Yucatan. The pine savannah ecosystems are noteworthy as a rare vegetation type at a regional level (occurring in the Belizean coastal plains and the Mosquitia region of Honduras/Nicaragua), with a number of species known only from Belize. Several species are listed as being of conservation concern at national or international level Wildtracks 2005), often occurring as common species within their communities .
The most important feature of the Rio Bravo is that it appears to support complete and fully functioning faunal communities characteristic of the area. Populations are for the most part healthy, including those of species that are under pressure elsewhere in the Central American range. Over 70 mammal species and 350 bird species have been recorded in the Rio Bravo.
The fauna has also been well-studied with research and survey projects covering all the major groups. In general terms diversity is high including foraging and breeding habitat for a range of species of conservation concern. As with the flora the most important characteristic is that they occur in fully functioning communities characteristic of the area, most clearly demonstrated by the diversity and relative commonness of top predators (large cats, birds of prey). The area has therefore been selected for re-introduction of the globally threatened Harpy Eagle, Harpia harpyja, a species highly dependent on extensive areas of unbroken forest.
The area has an extraordinarily rich archaeological heritage. The Classic Mayan ceremonial centre of La Milpa is one of the largest in Belize and the main plaza is one the largest in the Maya world. Elsewhere there are numerous remains of dwellings ranging from simple house-mounds to elite dwellings including at least one, Dos Hombres, that rivals La Milpa in size. Over 60 substantial sites have been listed and others are located regularly. Although most of the visible remains date from the Late Classic Maya period, other finds range from pre-ceramic cultures through to the European contact, when New River Lagoon lay on the main access route to the upper Belize River Valley and the eastern Peten.
The forests on and around the Rio Bravo have also played a major role in the more recent history of the country. Mahogany logging probably dates back to the 18th century, from camps established on New River lagoon and Irish Creek. At this time the area further west was under the control of the resident Maya population although the expansion of logging – with camps established at Blue Creek, Hill Bank, Canal Bank, and Quam Hill (near Cedar Crossing) by the mid-19th century – brought them into increasing contact with the mahogany cutters.
La Milpa is the third largest ancient Maya site in Belize. The ceremonial center is built on a high limestone ridge and, with more than 24 courtyards and over 85 structures, is in the topmost rank of Mayan sites. The Great Plaza is one of the largest public spaces in the Maya world. It is flanked by four temple-pyramids with the tallest standing 24 m above the plaza floor. It contains two courts for the sacred Mayan ball-game, associated with ritual and sacrifice as well as recreation. At the back, in the most defensible position, is the acropolis or palace. There is also an administrative building with 13 gods of the heavens. Under the plaza there are two storage pits (chultuns) and a row of stelae is lined up along the west side in front of the main pyramids. Beyond the Great Plaza lie other plazas, pyramids and buildings, gradually merging into the surrounding jungle. In all, the core area is reckoned to cover one square kilometer.

So this month I have seemed to fly on through loads of my personal favourite products!
You know what this means? Another makeup shopping trip is on the cards! I may be saying goodbye to some of my most treasured beauty products but there's always a silver lining… and soon I'll be wishing a warm welcome to some new beauty gems! I love going into a store absolutely clueless as to what I'm going to purchase that day. I love searching high and low for any new cheeky products I see, another favourite thing of mine to do is look for a bargain. Who doesn't love a bargain? Now a lot of the time back home (in the UK – when I'm there), I always find amazing deals like buy 3 items for the price of 2, or buy 1 get 1 free, and I just cannot help myself the minute I see that sign! I end up buying 3 loads of my favourite foundations just to ensure that I'll all stocked up! Seems logical right? Well, my purse sure doesn't seem to think so buy the time I'm finished running around the store like a makeup obsessed maniac!
Anyways as I'm leaving New York City in as little as 10 days after living here for a year I feel like I owe it to myself to get into as many stores as possible, such as Sephora, Ultra Beauty, Macy's an any other stores I see that have makeup and just go on a rampage. I cannot possibly leave the city without stocking up on some amazing products, which at home I'll struggle to get my hands on without having to pay a ridiculous amount on shipping! So expect a lot of posts flying your way!!
Out of this months empties my favourites are most definitely the 'Wake me up' concealer in the shade – 030 Classic Beige, by Rimmel London – pricing at just £6.49. My other favourite being 'Age Rewind' concealer – in the shade Light, by Maybelline – pricing at £8.99. I find that both of these products have saved my life at some point or another. They have helped me rid even the darkest of circles and left me feeling confident in myself, the product is not at all tacky and actually blends so well with the majority of my foundations, which sometimes with concealers I find to be a problem. I bought these 2 beauts from a drug store in the UK called Superdrug, so they're a whole lot cheaper than your higher end products. But don't let that fool you, they do just as good as a job as the high end products only at half the price… sometimes even more! These little finds were both less than £10 which to me, for such a great effective concealer will do me quite nicely. Now I have to admit I probably will go out and buy a couple more of these because c'mon if you've tried them you know how unbelievably amazing they are and I'm not sure I'm ready to go without them, just yet. And with a combination price of the 2 being under £14 where can you possibly go wrong?
Other products in photo
- Master Primer – Blur and Redness Control 300 – Maybelline (unfortunately I cannot find it online) – so if you can take a quick trip to your local Superdrug!
- Mattifying Powder – A852 Matte About you – Wet 'n' Wild – Pricing at $4.99.
- Stay Perfect Foundation – Cool Ivory – No7 – Pricing at £15.
- Vaseline – Aloe Vera – Pricing at just £1.95.
Where do you like to go for a makeup shopping splurge?
Share the love &

Ann Coulter's "THE COMING ASS AGE" is more accurate than 99% of the climate reporting in the NYT, Newsweek, Time, the MSM in general--- domestic and foreign, etc. Did I miss the part where she has dinosaurs dining with/on humans? Or her theories on a flat Earth? Scientifically speaking, what the other side is saying makes the flatEarthers look profound.
Okay, maybe Ann could have said it this way..."Al Gore likes to present himself as a tribune of science, warning the world of imminent danger. But he is more like an Old Testament prophet, calling on us to bewail our wrongful conduct and to go and sin no more. He starts off with the science. The world's climate, he reports, is getting warmer. This accurate report is, however, not set in historic context. World climate has grown warmer and cooler at various times in history. Climate change is not some unique historic event. It is the way the world works." (Michael Barone, New York Sun). But then, it wouldn't be Ann.
"Environmentalists and globalization foes are united in their fear that greater population and consumption of energy, materials, and chemicals accompanying economic growth, technological change and free tradethe mainstays of globalizationdegrade human and environmental well-being. Indeed, the 20th century saw the United States population multiply by four, income by seven, carbon dioxide emissions by nine, use of materials by 27, and use of chemicals by more than 100. Yet life expectancy increased from 47 years to 77 years. Onset of major disease such as cancer, heart, and respiratory disease has been postponed between eight and eleven years in the past century. Heart disease and cancer rates have been in rapid decline over the last two decades, and total cancer deaths have actually declined the last two years, despite increases in population. Among the very young, infant mortality has declined from 100 deaths per 1,000 births in 1913 to just seven per 1,000 today." (Indur M. Goklany, Reason)

I love stencils. One day, in my travels around the web, I came across one that I thought was so lovely, that I decided to try to draw it. This tutorial was the result of that. I wrote this tutorial several years ago, and after posting it on one my annexcafe groups, and seeing the wonderful response it received, I decided it was time to finally put my tutorials on the web. This tutorial was my motivation for doing so.
Paint Shop Pro. I used version 7.04 but if you are familiar with PSP, you should be able to convert the tutorial without problems. You can download the latest PSP version demo here.
Eye Candy 4000.
Optional: Texturizer filter. If you don't have this filter (it's a commercial filter thait comes with Photoshop), you can substitute a texture effect in PSP instead.
Optional: Variations filter. If you don't have this filter (another commercial filter), you can use the color>adjust function in PSP.
If you don't want to use vectors to draw, you can download my completed flower petal
There are 4 pieces to make: the flower petal, the flower, the leaf, and the flower bud. Once you have the pieces made, you can arrange them as I've done above, or be creative and make your own arrangements.
1. Open new image 200x200 transparent background.
2. Set your foreground and background colors to F98FAA.
3. Select the preset shapes tool, heart shape. Antialias checked, create as vector checked, line width 10. Draw a shape in the center of your canvas. [Note: if you don't want to draw the petal, you can download my finished petal above].
4. Choose the object selector tool, node edit (note: I'm not providing screenshots of this, so assume that you know how to use vectors). Arrange the figure into the shape a flower petal. When finished, you should have something similar to this:
5. With your selection tool, draw an outline around the shape and gently click anywhere inside it - you'll now have a floating selection.
6. To get some texture, I used the texturizer filter with these settings: sandstone, scale 100, relief 1, light direction bottom right, invert. Keep selected. (If you don't have the texturizer filter, you can use a texture in PSP - go to effects>3d effects>textures, and find one that pleases you).
7. Set foreground color to a darker one (mine is F27B9F). Select your airbrush with the following settings: Shape round, Size 3, Hardness 30, Opacity 50, Step 25, Density 50. Draw several lines inside the petal.
8. Now add some color around the edges. With the airbrush, same settings except size is 20, spray around edges and bottom.
9. Select the smudge brush with these settings: Round, size 20, hardness 40, opacity 30, step 20, density 20. Gently smudge around the outside and inside until you get the effect your like, something similar to this:
10. Merge all visible layers and save as a psp file. You're now ready to assemble your petal into a flower.
2. Open a new image 300x300 transparent background.
3. Add a new layer and paste a copy of your flower petal onto it. Now all you need to do is keep adding petals one at a time. I put all of mine on separate layers to make it easier to rearrange, color, etc., but that's a personal preference. I made my flower with 3 rings of petals.
4. Arrange the bottom ring as it pleases you. Just copy the original petal, rotate it, and place it into a circle. Once I'd arranged them all, I pulled some layers underneath others to create overlapping effect. I also applied the variations filter (hit "more red" once) to some of the petals, just to give a variation in color (if you don't have the variations filter, you can skip this part, or you can use the adjust color function in psp (go to color>adjust>hue/saturation/lightness). When done, you should have something similar to this:
5. Now to build the second ring of petals. Add a new layer and copy your original flower petal onto it. Resize by 80%. I made 4 petals in this ring, each on a separate layer. Rotate and color as you wish.
6. Now the final ring of petals. Add a new layer, copy the original petal onto this layer and resize by 65%. Arrange petals as you prefer. Here's mine:
7. Now to do the flower center. Set your foreground and background colors to #EDB528. Choose the preset shape tool, with the following settings: Shape - dodecagon, antialias checked, create as vector unchecked, line width 10.
8. Add a new layer and draw a small circle in the center of your flower.
9. Apply Eye candy - Settings: Jiggle, movement type-turbulence, bubble size 3, warp amount 60.31, twist 99, seamless tile unchecked, random speed 1. You should have something similar to mine (note: if you don't have Eye Candy, you can try spraying a little color using your airbrush instead).
Merge all visible layers and save your flower as a transparent psp file.
2. Set your foreground color to a darker green color (mine is #817D58), and your background color to null. Choose either your airbrush or your freehand line tool, and draw some lines inside your leaf (line size is 5-8). Choose your smudge brush (same settings as before), and smudge the lines to look similar to mine.
3. And your leaf is done. Merge all the visible layers and save as a psp file. You can make some different shaped leaves if you like, but I used the same leaf for all of the leaves in my finished graphic.
4. Now you'll add the leaves to your flower. Open up your flower. For each leaf you add, do so on a new layer, just copy and paste them. Arrange them around your flower as you wish.
2. Set your foreground and background colors to E36C8E.
3. Using the draw tool, with the following settings: freehand line, size 1, antialias checked, draw a small oval shape.
You can make this bigger or smaller, depending on your preferences.
4. Copy/paste as new layer, rotate 45 degrees.
5. Copy/paste as new layer, mirror. You will now have 3 small petals.
6. Merge visible layers. Copy and paste this as a new layer. Rotate this layer left about 10-20 degrees. You'll now have 6 little petals. When you have something you like, merge all visible layers.
7. Set foreground color to something darker (I used B52D57).
8. Using the selection tool, draw an outline around the petals and gently click inside to select (you'll have a floating selection).
9. Using the airbrush tool with these settings: shape-round, size 1, hardness 30, opacity 30, step 25, density 50, draw lines to separate the petals. Leave selected.
10. With the smudge brush, these settings: round, size 10, hardness 40, opacity 50, step 20, density 20, smudge gently until you get something you like.
11. Save as Psp file.
Now you're ready to assemble all the pieces. Simply arrange them anyway you wish. To draw the stems, add a new layer and place itunderneath the other layers. Set your foreground color to #97826A and your background to null. Choose the freehand draw tool, size 1. Draw some lines connecting your leaves. And here's my finished product.

2.16: Rotation of Axes - Three Dimensions
- Page ID
- 8366
Let O\(xyz \) be one set of mutually orthogonal axes, and let O\(x_{1}y_{1}z_{1} \) be another set of axes inclined to the first. The coordinates ( \( x_{1}, y_{1}, z_{1} \) ) of a point with respect to the second basis set are related to the coordinates \( (x, y, z ) \) with respect to the first by
\[ \left(\begin{array}{c}x_{1}\\ y_{1} \\ z_{1}\end{array}\right) = \left(\begin{array}{c}c_{11} \quad c_{12} \quad c_{13} \\ c_{21} \quad c_{22} \quad c_{23}\\ c_{31} \quad c_{32} \quad c_{33}\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}x\\ y \\ z \end{array}\right) \label{eq:2.16.1} \]
Here the \(c_{ij}\) are the cosines of the angles between the axes of one basis set with respect to the axes of the other. For example, \( c_{12} \) is the cosine of the angle between O\(x_{1} \) and O\(y\) , and \(c_{23}\) is the cosine of the angles between O\(y_{1} \) and O\(z\).
Some readers may know how to express these cosines in terms of complicated expressions involving the Eulerian angles. While these are important, they are not essential for following the present development, so we shall not make use of the Eulerian angles just here.
The matrix of direction cosines is orthogonal. Among the several properties of an orthogonal matrix is the fact that its reciprocal (inverse) is equal to its transpose - i.e. the reciprocal of an orthogonal matrix is found merely my interchanging the rows and columns. This enables us easily to find \( (x,y,z) \) in terms of \( (x_{1} ,y_{1} ,z_{1} )\).
A number of other properties of an orthogonal matrix are useful in detecting, locating and even correcting arithmetic mistakes in computing the elements. These properties are
- The sum of the squares of the elements in any row or column is unity. This merely expresses the fact that the magnitude of a unit vector along any of the six axes is indeed unity.
- The sum of the products of corresponding elements of any two rows or of any two columns is zero. This merely expresses the fact that the scalar product of any two orthogonal vectors is zero. It will be noted that checking for property 1 will not detect any mistakes in sign of the elements, whereas checking for property 2 will do so.
- Every element is equal to ± its own cofactor. This expresses the fact that the cross product of two unit orthogonal vectors is equal to the third.
- The determinant of the matrix is ± 1. If the sign is negative, it means that the chiralities (handedness) of the two basis sets of axes are opposite; i.e. one of them is a right-handed set and the other is a left-handed set. It is usually convenient to choose both sets as right- handed.
If it is possible to find a set of axes with respect to which the product moments F, G and H are all zero, these axes are called the principal axes of the body, and the moments of inertia with respect to these axes are the principal moments of inertia, for which we shall use the notation \(A_{0} , B_{0} , C_{0},\) with the convention \( A_{0} ≤ B_{0} ≤ C_{0} \). We shall see shortly that it is indeed possible, and we shall show how to do it. A vector whose length is inversely proportional to the radius of gyration traces out in space an ellipsoid, known as the momental ellipsoid.
In the study of solid body rotation (whether by astronomers studying the rotation of asteroids or by chemists studying the rotation of molecules) bodies are classified as follows.
- \( A_{0} ≠ B_{0} ≠ C_{0} \) The ellipsoid is a triaxial ellipsoid, and the body is an asymmetric top.
- \( A_{0} < B_{0} = C_{0} \) The ellipsoid is a prolate spheroid and the body is a prolate symmetric top.
- \( A_{0} = B_{0} < C_{0} \) The ellipsoid is an oblate spheroid and the body is an oblate symmetric top.
- \( A_{0} = B_{0} = C_{0} \) The ellipsoid is a sphere and the body is a spherical top.
- One moment is zero. The ellipsoid is an infinite elliptical cylinder, and the body is a linear top.
Example \(\PageIndex{1}\)
We know from Section 2.5 that the moment of inertia of a plane square lamina of side \(2a \) about an axis through its centroid and perpendicular to its area is \( \frac{2}{3} ma^2 \) , and it will hence be obvious that the moment of inertia of a uniform solid cube of side 2a about an axis passing through the mid-points of opposite sides is also \( \frac{2}{3} ma^2 \) . It will clearly be the same about an axis passing through the mid-points of any pairs of opposite sides. Therefore the cube is a spherical top and the momental ellipsoid is a sphere. Therefore the moment of inertia of a uniform solid cube about any axis through its centre (including, for example, a diagonal) is also \( \frac{2}{3} ma^2 \).
Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
What is the ratio of the length to the diameter of a uniform solid cylinder such that it is a spherical top?
\( \sqrt3 / 2 = 0.866. \)
Let us note in passing that
\[ A + B + C = 2 \sum m (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) = 2 \sum mr^2, \label{eq:2.16.2} \]
which is independent of the orientation of the basis axes In other words, regardless of how \(A, B \) and \(C \) may depend on the orientation of the axes with respect to the body, the sum \(A + B + C \) is invariant under a rotation of axes.
We shall deal with the determination of the principal axes in Section 2.18 - but don't skip Section 2.17.

Airbus Group reports H1 profits up 10%, and may sell stake in Dassault
Airbus Group has reported its H1 underlying operating profit has risen by 10%, and has reaffirmed its forecasts for the year.
Airbus also said that it was contining to study options for selling its 46% stake in French manufacturer Dassault Aviation, which Airbus effectively inherited during one of the mergers that led to the creation of Airbus Group.
Airbus also stated that its 2015 business outlook remained unchanged before the cost of developing the recently-announced A330neo and that its development costs would trim 0.7% off its 2015 return-on-sales target of 7-8%.
In the first half, core operating profit rose 9.6 percent to EUR1.769 billion (1.4 billion pounds) but this included a capital gain of EUR60 million on the sale of its Paris headquarters building, following the move of its headquarters to Toulouse, France.
Half-year revenues rose 6% to €27.2bn. For Q2, Airbus Group reported revenues of €14.55bn and operating profit of €1.12bn.
