Ahead of the launch of its new vessel Britannia, P&O Cruises has released its latest advertising campaign, fronted by celebrity comedian Rob Brydon.
The multimillion-pound wave campaign forms part of the line's plan to create a new brand identity as it seeks to set itself apart from other cruise line competitors.
In March next year, P&O Britannia will take to the seas, with the £500 million, 3,600-berth vessel in the running to be the line's most high-profile.
The television ad's theme is the 'Britishness of the holiday' and will air during Coronation Street on Christmas Day. It is hoped that it will help to attract more non-cruisers by portraying a cruise holiday through the eyes of 'newcomer' Brydon.
Speaking to Travel Weekly UK, Christopher Edgington – marketing director of P&O Cruises – admitted that the brand has not always differentiated itself from other lines in the past.
Edgington said: "Our campaign is timed to put cruising on the national holiday map because 1.7 million people have cruised in the past year and it's time for us as an industry, and for us as Britain's favourite cruise line, to take the lead.
"Rob Brydon was the obvious choice to front the campaign as he is well-loved with a great sense of humour and it is easy for potential customers to imagine themselves in his shoes. With this campaign we aim to create a compelling and distinctive brand that will help us remain Britons' cruise line of choice."
Following its launch on Christmas Day, the advert will run throughout next year and is expected to reach over 13 million adults aged over 45.
Alongside the advert, P&O Cruises' changing brand identity involves a new strapline – 'This is the Life' – and a logo that features the union flag wave design and that will appear as the hull livery across the fleet's eight ships.
Edgington is confident the new identity will make for a more consistent brand image and as the only cruise line dedicated to the British market, give it a unique direction, dispelling the traditional myths associated with cruising – You can read are article here explaining why P&O is THE cruise line for the 21st century
Are you a Rob Brydon fan? Why not book a P&O cruise in the New Year?// END - About the Author ?>

A power house 3.5 eco!
By Scott's Beast on Friday, June 05, 2020Although i have only had the truck a little over a month i am impressed with the 3.5 eco and the 10 speed tranny. They seem to link up nicely. The only thing I don't like about the truck is it seems to ride stiffer then my 2010 f150 i had in the past.

2015 F-150 5.0L SCrew is the best vehicle I've own
By Gunner on Thursday, December 19, 2019The F-150 is the Aluminum body Ford truck that came out in 2015. New Coyote 5.0L V-8 is the best engine Ford has put in their trucks. Zero problems, ZERO. Transmission has been flawless, engine never misses a beat. interior has been flawless, nothing has failed. Best F-150 ever. Period.

I understand why they sell so many F-150s
By Tampa Tom on Saturday, November 23, 2019This F-150 Lariat replaces an older Super Duty that was thirsty for expensive diesel fuel. I was hesitant to get the 3.5 liter eco-boost engine because the reviews seemed too good to be true, but it's every bit as good as they say. The truck is roomy, quiet, and comfortable. I've had zero problems since new, and haven't yet even opened the hood. My only concern is the seemingly hundreds of buttons, knobs and switches I cannot read, reach, or see in the dark.

Discussion in 'The Rockies – It's all downhill from here...' started by AK2ID, Aug 11, 2019.
Balancing color and weather, when is the best time to view the fall aspen colors on a motorcycle?
September 23rd at 4:15pm.
It really varies, that years moisture levels, light (smoke from fires will influence) and temps but I did a quick scan of dated pics on my laptop of here in Fairplay and see this of beginning changes;
So these are beginnings of color so full blown is about the 29th of SEP at least in this area.
Great. My window is sometime between September 25th and October 10th.
I think earlier is best..,
What ever date you pick, the previous weekend was the best, or it will peak the next weekend.
I'm doing kebler pass on Sep 29.
I'll be in Montrose for the annual gathering of my Goldwing riding friends Sept 18-23.
Hope the colors are peaking then... but whether they are or not, either way I know It's gonna be a great time to ride.
We have a fall colors ride scheduled this year for Steamboat Springs area the weekend of September 28. But I am going to keep an eye on weather and trends and may move it up a weekend or two and/or pick a destination further south.
I have a feeling based on weather trends so far this year that fall color will be early.
Great info...thanks to all.
I have a hard schedule commitment until Sept. 21st. So, it looks like the 4th week of Sept. is the earliest I can travel. Coming from Idaho, I plan to enter Colorado from the northwest, travel southeast through Aspen to C. Springs for a rest day. Then I am looking at a route back west and south to Durango. From here I will charge north and then continue west through the national parks of southern Utah. Final leg will be to slab it back home through the desert of Nevada.
Lots of high country, so weather will be respected. I will need to bring the electric jacket and balaclava back into service.
Sounds like a blast.
Thanks again.
Depending on where you're at, don't go where the news channels say to go. I went last year and it just happened to be the weekend the news said to go. It was a nightmare. Stop and go traffic on 285, people walking in the middle of the highway at Kenosha pass. It was retarded. I went back 2 weeks later on a week day and most of the leaves had already fallen. Doesn't sound like you will be around the Denver area though, so might not be an issue.
Kenosha's always like that - room for a lot of folks to park right off the road, it's relatively close, and a whole hillside of color without having to go down a dirt road.
And if you lucky like I was there, looking at Fall colors 3 year ago, saw a big bull moose swimming around in the lake up there.
I have to say that I'm a bit disturbed by this talk of "Fall Colors" already...............
I was a bit disturbed when I went to King Soopers on Monday and all the summer stuff was gone and in its place were Halloween decorations. FFS it isn't even the "unofficial end of summer" Labor Day yet.
Funny how everyone is in a rush for the next season. So much as to miss enjoying half of the current one.
Now that I remember I need to check on a new ski rack for my jeep.
Good advice to be careful of places highlighted by the local news.
At this point my timeline is looking like Sept. 26, 27 and 28th. Weather could change things.
I grew up in C Springs so visiting Colorado is nostalgic, fun because it is uniquely beautiful, but also sad to experience the impact of all the people.
Thanks again for all the pointers.
It's a wet year, so I guess the colors won't be as vivid this year.
Whenever that happens I have a shot of Jack and man they come alive.
Well folks, any signs of changing colors up higher and more north yet?
The mornings are finally a bit cooler here and I am LOVING IT! September is my favorite month of the year! Best riding conditions.
Every year I take my wife out for a day or 2 in pursuit of the perfect fall colors ride - after colors change but before they blow off the trees and highway riding gets cold. With work schedules and kids' activities in the mix, and colors going straight from green to brown some years, we have never quite scored that perfect day, but the quest continues.

Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS) is a recently proposed modulation scheme for doublydispersive channels in which symbol multiplexing and processing is performed in the Doppler-delay domain, rather than conventional time-frequency domain. In this paper, the performance of OTFS is compared to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for line-of-sight mobility automotive channels. Ray launching is used to simulate the channel for two different dynamic 3D vehicle to infrastructure transmission environments, using a Kirchhoff model for diffuse scattering from rough surfaces. Bit level simulations for transmission from a transmitter moving at speeds of 13 m/s and 31 m/s are then carried out, for both OFDM and OTFS. We find that with short length block codes OTFS outperforms OFDM in all simulated scenarios, reducing the block error rate by more than 50% on average. Unlike previous work, simulations are performed in the time domain using practical rectangular pulse shapes, rather than theoretical 'ideal pulses'. We provide an analysis of these pulses, and derive relevant expressions for the doubly dispersive channel in terms of the multipath delays and Doppler shifts.

Year One - Week commencing 30th September
Date: 6th Oct 2019 @ 3:25pm
Year One thoroughly enjoyed a very interactive science lesson this week. They carried out experiments to test the absorbency of materials. In addition to this, their topic lesson involved drawing a compass on the playground floor with chalk to add to their geographical knowledge. In English, they made some very imaginative plans in preparation for writing a traditional narrative where a good character is trapped by a bad character and has to escape. They started to write their own versions on Friday and they are great!
In maths, we have moved to using the part part whole model. All children have grasped this really well!
In PSHE, we are discussing relationships with people who are special to us, starting with our classmates. All children had lovely things to say about the reasons their friends are so special to them.
All children took a letter home about the stay and make on Thursday at 2pm and a visit to church on Friday morning.
We will have a lesson on Tuesday 8th October about The Great Fire of London. This will be approached carefully with discussion about how the fire services nowadays compares to that in 1666.
Have a great weekend,
Mrs Baddeley

Spinal Fusion Surgery is a procedure used to alleviate back pain caused by vertebrae in the spine. In this procedure, the doctor will use metal or bone grafts to connect two or more discs in the spine, which then helps stabilize the spine. This procedure can be performed in a variety of ways, using different access points, different grafting procedures, and in some cases, removal of vertebral discs.

Fresh Xiaomi Mi 5 Rumours Point To An Ultrasound Fingerprint Reader
The handset may also be accompanied by a 6 inch "plus" version.
Indeed the Xiaomi Mi 5 is turning out to be a legend in the rumour mill. The smartphone showed up about 6 months ago and the rumours simply have not stopped dropping in. Today we have a couple of new ones, to do with the display size and more importantly a new technology that Xiaomi is working on for the fingerprint scanner.
It was a recent rumour about a leaked product release roadmap, which gave us a low down about Xiaomi's current product for the year, both in India and China. More interesting, was news about the Mi 5 that showed up on the chart with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset.
Now what is unique to that particular chipset is its support for Snapdragon's Sense ID, a new feature that was announced in March last year. The chip works with a fingerprint sensor, which utilizes ultrasound to deliver a detailed 3D image of a fingerprint and works well even with contaminants like sweat, lotion, and condensation.
The technology is also capable of scanning through device materials, including device cover glass, aluminium, stainless steel, sapphire, and plastics so Xiaomi will be able to conceal the scanner completely below a seamless surface (even the screen for that matter).
Seems like Xiaomi is really taking things up a notch. Still then, the Mi 5 is not expected to be announced until November. So that beast of chipset will have to wait till then.
Other details about the Mi 5 that have sprung up lately include:
- A 5.5 inch QHD touch screen display
- Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 inside along with 4 GB of RAM
- 16 MP OIS camera on the back and an 8 MP front facer for selfies
- And the presence of a USB Type-C connector as well
What is also new in the rumour mill are murmurs about a bigger 6 inch variant of the Mi 5, which may be announced alongside the standard 5.5 inch version. This makes little sense as Xiaomi already has a Note series for bigger screen sizes.

Best way to get the best results
Hello there,
I have a bit of a general question that I would like to get some opinions on.
I am testing a website that is located in the UK but is accessed by customers from the UK, US, CA, AUS as well as countires in Asia and I am also wanting to get the most accurate results with the view to then carry out the tests again following some optimisation work.
So, what I would like to know is what is the best/most accurate way to measure an internationally accessed website? Bearing in mind the different locations and potentially different levels of traffic.
It would be awesome if I was able to carry out a test, and then carrying it out again a few days later, I would get similiar results. But how can I ensure this?
I apologise if my quesiton is too general or maybe even if it is not completely possible but your opinions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

The Indian equity market is having an unprecedented run since the past few quarters. The bulls are not losing steam even at global shocks. The domestic institutional investors are stronger than ever before.
With the progressive Delhi policy makers firmly in shape and the best growth outlook in the world, Indian equity market valuations are touching new highs every day.
Now the pertinent question is what does this mean for an investor at this juncture. Have we entered a prolonged bull-run that we saw in the middle of the last decade or the lofty valuations would just crash without a hint?
Let us analyse this. As per our in-house research market valuations are significantly above long-term average currently with almost 30 percent of the stocks trading at over 40 PE, the highest ever.
The trailing PE for the BSE500 Index (or BSE200 for that matter) at ~26x the highest ever. In December 2007, the median PE for the market was 21x and 24 percent of the stocks were trading over 40x trailing PE.
Therefore a large part of the market is indeed expensive even by historical standards.
Does high valuation necessarily imply a crash? Probably not. This is because with all growth engines fired up, massive domestic demand and a young population, India is a dream for any business entity.
Well managed companies would easily perform better than their priced in valuations. However, what we can say with reasonably high confidence is that high current valuations mean all the high valued stocks may not match the priced in future returns.
From an investor's perspective, this is the time, when you need to separate the men from the boys.
When stocks trade at high multiples, they need to deliver strong earnings growth for several years – companies need to be many times their size in the next decade.
One way to find such stocks is through their strong earnings delivery in the past. While I would remain stock neutral, if you do a little research, there are many successful stories right there which have delivered better than expectations.
They include many domestic consumption themes, stocks of visionary companies, stocks of greatly managed companies, stocks of innovative companies and stocks of many successful Indian MNCs. There are plenty of such stories that can be bought into even today and they wouldn't disappoint you a decade later.
For example, for a stock currently trading at very high valuation say at 50x (trailing) earnings, it would require its profits to compound at 20 percent over the next decade.
The stock to trade at more than 25x in 10 years from now for an investor to make sustained returns. There are many such bets waiting to be discovered. Happy investing in stocks.Disclaimer: The author is CEO, 5Paisa.com.

Check the make and the year to simply get the latest model or your favorite model. But one big flaw is the lack of choices. You know when the government purchases police cars cheap oil change wichita ks, they buy in lot. It means that during a certain period of time you'll only have a few models available. That's why you have to check the make and the year of the desired car.
You can read up on automotive service advisor training all day, but nothing is better than actually doing the job. Visit some local garages and offer to "shadow" a service consultant or advisor for a day. Help out if you can, and get to know what a day in the life of a service advisor is really like.
Shelters have been set up all around the state of Kansas to house those who are without power, until utilities are restored to their homes. Even though shelters are available, several elderly people have passed away due to the cold temperatures, and the subsequent lack of heat in their homes. Officials are pleading with people to seek out the emergency shelters, and not let their pride get in the way of their health and safety. Citizens are also being advised to check on their neighbors, and make sure they are okay. The elderly and children are especially vulnerable during these situations.
When running propane, the same amount of diesel fuel is injected as usual. It uses less diesel fuel though because the use of the propane allows for a more complete burn. You also have to use less pedal to achieve the same speed because you are adding more power. It really doesn't give a super big mileage gain, but if you figure it all out, it will actually cost a little less per mile to travel. Then you add on top of that the savings from reduced engine wear and tear, because with propane the engine won't build up carbon. Also the savings from having cleaner oil, and extended oil change intervals, adding propane is well worth it. On top of all those savings, you end up with a considerable power increase.
Helpful Hint Have an oil and filter wichita kansas change done when you clean your fuel injectors. The dirt and deposits that you cleaned off your fuel injectors has a way of making it into the crank case and reek havoc.
With a GPS system I could go on road trips without a navigator. I wouldn't need some kno-it-all in the passenger seat telling me about which road to take or what the map says. Plus the GPS never needs to take extra bathroom breaks!

Shortly after the protests and riots started, the Portland Police Department began live-streaming the events from the point of view of the police officer.
The start of the issue with this is that the recordings of what was happening would begin and end at unpredictable times.
Another issue with this is that the rioters and protesters did not like being video recorded during their criminal acts and filed a lawsuit through the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
In their belief, the recording of criminal acts in a public setting is somehow a violation of someone's rights.
The ACLU filed the lawsuit against the Portland Police on Wednesday and requested that all live streaming of the protesters and rioters be stopped immediately.
Multnomah County Circuit Judge Stephen Bushong seemed to agree with their stance and ordered a 'temporary' block of all officers from "collecting or maintaining audio or video of protesters" that are committed in pubic spaces while they are enacting their First Amendment rights.
Their lawsuit contends that the Police Departments actions of "filming and broadcasting protesters violates an Oregon law prohibiting law enforcement from collecting or maintaining information about the political, religious or social views, associations, or activities of people who are not suspect of criminal activity."
The problem with that mentality is that very few of the protesters and rioters are obeying state or local law in their criminal acts of destroying private, federal property or attacking police officers.
Not to mention that the criminal actions that are being recorded are being done in the public space which anyone has the rights to view, it would be one thing if the actions were taking place in an area where people have an expectation of privacy, it is another when people are committing criminal acts in places which provides no reasonable expectation of privacy.
Jann Carson, the interim Executive Director of the ACLU in Oregon says:
"We appreciate Judge Bushong's order. Today's decision is an important step towards ensuring all people can exercise their rights to protest and assembly without fear of government surveillance."

Other civil rights lawyers also filed lawsuits against the Portland Police Department which said that the livestream actually caused what they believed to be a surveillance state.
They argued that doing the livestream violated Oregon law which prohibits recording in any manner based upon their political beliefs, providing they are not committing a crime.
While there are probably many people who have been caught on the video committing crimes, there are others who have simply been exercising their rights to protest. In that mindset, police cannot record anything if there is a chance that people who are not committing crimes are recorded in anyway.
The complaint from the ACLU says:
"The videos regularly depict individual protesters who are demonstrating peacefully and engaging in no criminal activity at all. Nevertheless, the videos have focused and will continue to focus on specific protesters, apparently for the purpose of identifying them."
It would not take a rocket scientist to determine that if anyone needs to be identified, it would be the people that are committing crime and violence against the officers and the city of Portland, but, perhaps, that is too logical for an area that is this liberal.
The temporary injunction that was ordered banning the livestreaming will run from now until at least August 9th of this year. Until then:
"The Portland Police Bureau [is] temporarily enjoined from collecting or maintaining audio or video of protesters demonstrating in public spaces…except where the video or audio relates to an investigation of criminal activities and there exist reasonable grounds to suspect the subjects of the videos are involved in criminal conduct."
While there are peaceful protests that occur in Portland, whatever is set up as peaceful end when it becomes nighttime. Officers and/or video surveillance which would be capturing people who are committing crimes should still be able to be recorded and criminal cases pursued.
Although the language of the ruling sounds as if that is still allowed, the simple truth is, it is not. No officer will be allowed to video or audio record any incident while in Portland, in doing so, he or she may inadvertently record a peaceful protester and thus be in violation of the judges order.
Portland man firebombs court house, gets identified by vest grandma bought him
PORTLAND, OR – Monday evening in Portland, people calmly walked by a camera aimed at cement K-rails and protective metal fencing around the city's federal courthouse.
An amateur drummer slowly rapped out a tinny, aimless tune on homemade drums in the background. A young woman in a gas mask leaned against a K-rail to check her smart phone. Others, mostly young men and women, walked by with and without masks. One of them was black. One young man had a mask and hood but his eyes are exposed, glaring at the camera as he passed.
One could be forgiven for thinking this was a street festival.
One minute and forty-seven seconds into a video of the scene, a flaming object arcs over the heads of dozens of people. It lands on the other side of the barrier, where the flames spread in a pool of fire on the ground.
The video gets closer, admiring as the flames ignite litter and a traffic cone.
At two minutes and eleven seconds, a woman's voice is heard shouting, in cadence:
"Black lives matter."
She is answered lazily by dozens of voices, who repeat the chant at half speed.
At two minutes and twenty-five seconds, as the chant picks up, we see a hand tossing something, a flaming object flying to the left, a mousy young woman standing on a K-rail turns away from the building, perhaps to see who threw the object.
This is followed by a deafening roar and flames that fill the screen as a powerful explosion occurs off screen, on the other side of the barricade.
The courthouse has been hit.
The crowd is temporarily floored into silence, and then they cheer. Now, they are all rioters.
Lol @ "Simpothy McVeigh" and "beta blocker"
— David Pinsen (@dpinsen) July 29, 2020
After witnessing his handiwork, the bomber, wearing an olive green reflective vest emblazoned with the word "ICONS," dashes off camera. He may not have realized it, but the clean-cut young bomber was captured on multiple cameras.
In one, he is seen standing on one side of an intersection with a woman clad only in a black bondage face mask beside him. She is naked from the chin down. She isn't even wearing shoes.

On the other side of the intersection are what appear to be about a dozen law enforcement officers. Some motivated members of the online group 4Chan decided to see if they could figure out who the bomber, nicknamed "the Beta Bomber," was.
The other name 4Chan gave the suspect was SIMPothy McVeigh.
The ICONS vest led them to an online review of the garment by someone with the username "grammaf."
She wrote:
"I got this for my grandson who's a protester downtown, he uses it every night and says it does the job."
Included is a picture of her grandson, wearing the vest and a mask, sitting on a red car. It is the Beta Bomber.
According to the Gateway Pundit, grandma's review led to the identification of the bomber, though clearly that was not her intention. Maybe she believed what she saw on the mainstream news every night, that the "protests" were "peaceful."
From her perspective, she may have felt duty-bound to protect her clean-cut white grandson against all those racist cops the news is always talking about.
Looking at the crowd of hundreds of people gathered around the courthouse is revolting. All those people, drifting in and out of the scene casually, drinking their bottled water, listening to music, chatting with friends, checking their phones for messages, and then they cheer when a powerful explosive goes off against an exterior wall of an occupied building.
After that, they go back to their mundane enjoyments. Do they not realize that a young punk just brought a dangerous explosive into a densely populated area and then set it off in their midst?
Apparently, because law enforcement is the target, it's no big deal, just a bunch of pretty colors. Why don't they care? Because to them, the people who work in law enforcement aren't "people."
They are enemies.
If that crowd were made up of anything but insurrectionists with war in their hearts, the bomber would have been tackled by twenty people before he managed to turn around after throwing the bomb.
The guy who threw an IED at the Federal Courthouse in Portland has been identified by 4Chan after his Grandma posted about buying his plate vest.
Operation Simpothy McVeigh is now trying to find someone willing to pay the $50 for his sisters only fans account! 🤣#PortlandRiots pic.twitter.com/CfLYIxz3CH
— KuqiCouture Esq. (@KuqiCouture) July 30, 2020
The indifference of this crowd to such a wanton and dangerous act, designed to cause great damage and which had the capacity to kill, marks them all as beneath contempt.
They think they are Social Justice Warriors, that stand for truth and justice.
They don't.
They believe lies told them by Marxists and have been tricked into performing the criminal work of a revolution for them, becoming criminals themselves in the bargain. It won't succeed.
There are too many good people in America who will stop it. But when? When will our elected officials marshal the courage to allow law enforcement to do their job and end this?
Officials have already sat idly by as dozens of people have been killed and hundreds more injured. Several police stations have been set on fire, some of which have suffered significant damage.
Whole cities have been ravaged.
If the Beta Bomber had dropped his bomb accidentally, it could have killed a dozen people right then and there. Is that the kind of accident we are waiting for before doing anything?
Let's not wait any longer.
Enough is enough.
It is time to show our support of local, state, and federal law enforcement. It is time to resist the lie that these are "peaceful protests" rather than riots. Somebody's grandson needs a spanking, and we think he will get it in federal prison.

Connie grew up in a house with painful memories. Before Connie came into our care her parents became divorced. Her father was angry and abusive towards her. Her mother failed to protect her when her new partner also started abusing her. But God was working through other adults in Connie's life. Her grandparents, lifelong members of the First Presbyterian Church of Dallas, went to their church for help and they learned about Presbyterian Children's Homes, a precursor agency to PCHAS.
Connie asked if she could live at Presbyterian Children's Homes and her mother agreed. She lived at the children's home for six months, but then her father learned where she was living. He quickly drove to Itasca and brought Connie to live with him. Since the divorce, his behavior had worsened. He moved Connie to Arizona, far from the watchfulness of her grandparents, where she suffered verbal, physical and sexual abuse for three years. At the age of 14, with a good friend by her side, she told the local police what her father had done to her. She was sent back to Texas to live with her mother.
When young Connie arrived at the airport in Dallas, her mother wasn't there to pick her up, she had gone on another binge, and her partner was waiting instead. Like other abused children, Connie was scarred by this act of abandonment. Connie ran away from home multiple times and was in and out of juvenile detention. While her mother struggled to get clean she had no tools to help her deal with Connie's trauma. Neither did Connie. Her mother asked if PCHAS would take her back.
"I was a rebellious child, so I didn't want to go," says Connie. "But I knew it was the best place for me."
Connie is still in contact with several of the girls she lived with, and she has reconnected with her home parents, Debbie and Andy Barnes. She says they were perfect role models.
"While I was [at PCHAS], I had love and support," says Connie. "I had everything that a kid would want."
Still, it was a time of mixed emotions for Connie because of the trauma she had suffered. She continued to feel lost and abandoned at times, even though her home parents and other staff, like program director Verl Childers, did all they could to help her heal.
One of the most meaningful parts of Connie's time in Itasca was singing with the "Here I Am, Lord" Choir. Created by house parents Sammie and Dale Hunter, the choir traveled to churches throughout the year, wearing purple shirts emblazoned with "Here I Am, Lord" and singing during worship services in North Texas.
For Connie, the choir served as a manifestation of the words written in Isaiah 6:8: "Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?' And I said, 'Here am I; send me!'"
"We were children of God who had been through a lot, but there we were, singing for the Lord," she says.
After she graduated from high school, PCHAS helped Connie get a college scholarship. But this time, instead of her parents getting in the way, Connie's own body rebelled against her. She had to drop out due to a complex medical condition.
"Where was I supposed to go? I had nowhere," says Connie. She wishes there had been a next step, like PCHAS' Transitional Living Program, which was created in 2014. Transitional Living meets the needs of kids like Connie who lack a support system once they leave home or the state's care. Feeling lost, Connie reverted to living like her parents. She was lonely and, deep down, she knew something had to change.
Digging deep, Connie found a light within all her darkness. She felt the love and warmth of God from her time at PCHAS, and started to rebuild her life upon that foundation. She remembered the people who modeled what a family should be like, and how they were caring, giving, loving, thankful and compassionate.
"My time at PCHAS showed me how to be a faithful person and live a faithful life," she says. "It was my foundation of faith and family, and PCHAS taught me, truly, what love is."
Connie, now 38, is a member of Grace Presbyterian Church of Plano, TX. She has been married to her husband for 11 years. They have two children: Cyrus, 11, and Elena, 4. A few years ago, Cyrus was diagnosed with ADHD and autism, which led Connie to reflect upon something that her house parents had told her all those years ago.
"They always said 'God has a way. You may not think that God has a plan because things seem to be going bad right now, but he has a plan and you'll see it,' " she recalls.
Connie says she can now see that all her struggles prepared her to be a better mom. She can teach her children so they don't have to learn the hard way, like she did.
"You can lose your way, you can lose your path, and you can lose sight of what you have," says Connie. "But with just the smallest amount of love, empathy, compassion and faith in God, you can give back in a meaningful way."
If you or someone you love was once a child who experienced the Christ-centered care of PCHAS, we would love to connect with you.

Osborne Renews Attack On European FTT
by Robert Lee, Tax-News.com, London
20 January 2014
UK Chancellor George Osborne has warned that a European financial transaction tax (FTT) would be expensive and destroy jobs.
Speaking this week at the Open Europe Conference, Osborne contended there are not, in fact, "two debates" on the European Union (EU), but one, which encompasses questions of sovereignty, democracy, accountability, and economics. He questioned the use of the European Commission's "enhanced cooperation" mechanism for the introduction of a Tobin tax, asking "why don't we think about using it for job creating measures that others oppose?"
The Commission's FTT proposals have been "contradicted by its own original impact assessment which showed that the policy would reduce EU GDP," Osborne added.
The UK is challenging the initiative in the European Court of Justice (ECJ), something it does not "do lightly." This is not "unthinkingly anti-European," Osborne stressed, but an attempt to "enforce European principles of non-discrimination and adherence to European law."
Osborne is also concerned that the Lisbon Treaty will, by 2016, have supplied the Eurogroup with "sufficient votes to pass any financial services legislation for the whole of the EU." He described the UK as "Europe's great global financial center," and warned that damaging it would "be very bad for the whole of Europe too."
The Chancellor condemned the European Central Bank for attempting to force clearing houses with large euro-based transactions to move to the Eurozone. The UK will be taking the Bank to the ECJ over the matter, with Osborne querying how it is possible to claim the existence of a single market "if we say that certain businesses can only locate in certain member states."

ROME — Pope Francis has thrown his support behind the United Nations' appeal for a global ceasefire to address fallout from the coronavirus, telling pilgrims in the Vatican Sunday that the measure represents a "courageous first step."
"This week the United Nations Security Council adopted a Resolution which proposes some measures to deal with the devastating consequences of the Covid-19 virus, particularly for areas in conflict zones," the pontiff told the crowd gathered in Saint Peter's Square for his weekly Angelus prayer.
"The request for a global and immediate ceasefire, which would allow that peace and security necessary to provide the needed humanitarian assistance is commendable," the pope said. "I hope that this decision will be implemented effectively and promptly for the good of the many people who are suffering."
"May this Security Council Resolution become a courageous first step towards a peaceful future," Francis concluded.
Last Wednesday, the U.N. Security Council passed resolution 2532 (2020), which demands a general and immediate cessation of hostilities in all situations.
In a unanimous decision, the 15-member assembly called upon all parties to armed conflicts to "engage immediately in a durable humanitarian pause for at least 90 consecutive days, to enable the safe, unhindered and sustained delivery of humanitarian assistance, and provision of related services by impartial humanitarian actors, in accordance with the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence."
The cease-fire would also enable medical evacuations, in accordance with international law, including international humanitarian and refugee law as applicable, the U.N. said.
The security council noted that the general and immediate cessation of hostilities "does not apply to military operations against Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL/Da'esh), Al-Qaida and Al-Nusra Front, and all other individuals, groups, undertakings and entities associated with Al-Qaida or ISIL, and other Council-designated terrorist groups."
Last Thursday, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres addressed the council, insisting that the health pandemic "has fast become a protection crisis," adding that more than one billion children are out of school and 135 million people face starvation by year-end.
These "wide-ranging risks require an urgent and united response," Guterres said.
The U.N. chief said that "terrorist and violent extremist groups see the uncertainty created by the pandemic as a tactical advantage."
"In Somalia, there is a risk that Islamist extremist group Al-Shabaab, could increase its attacks while security forces, by necessity, focus on the pandemic," he said.

'Kids feeding kids'
People of all ages gather at CCS to pack meals for hungry children
Emily Thompson continues to be amazed at the level of support the Fort Dodge community shows for the Feed My Starving Children MobilePack effort.
More than 500 volunteers split into three different shifts on Saturday to bag meals for the hungry. The event was held inside the Community Christian School gym.
"It seems like a big undertaking to find 500 people to help, but it's so easy to recruit and find people in Fort Dodge," said Thompson, a member of the MobilePack planning committee. "It's a really incredible glimpse into how much our community loves children and I am always stunned by the response of people in Fort Dodge to donate their time."
The age of the volunteers ranged from 5 to 80. Feed My Starving Children, a nonprofit Christian organization headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, coordinates the program, which sends thousands of meals to children in need.
The organization brought down a semitrailer load of ingredients to be bagged.
"There's three staff members here from Feed My Starving Children and they can't believe how committed our volunteers are and how hard they are working," Thompson said.
The gym was set up for packing on Friday night.
Each station in the gym is set up to add four ingredients into a bag– vitamins, vegetables, soy and rice. The bags are then weighed and sealed at the same table.
Joely Gilbert, 11, a fifth-grader at Fort Dodge Middle School, was busy scooping vitamins for her team.
She recognized the importance of her job.
"We can help the homeless and make sure they have something to eat," Gilbert said.
Gilbert was there with her cousin, Brielle Ehrhardt, 10, also a fifth-grader at Fort Dodge Middle School.
Ehrhardt was scooping the vegetables.
The two girls were working with the Noon Kiwanis, K-Kids Club and Dodger Academy.
Erin Brookshire, director of the Dodger Academy program, had a handle on the soy and rice.
"Kiwanis is one of our big sponsors for Dodger Academy," Brookshire said. "We help each other out."
At another table, Amanda Rees, of Fort Dodge, was working with her daughter, Aubrey Rees, in the Coldwell Banker group.
Aubrey Rees, 9, is a fourth-grader at Butler Elementary School.
Brooklyn Weisberg, 5, of Webster City, was used for her master bag sealing skills at another table.
Ashley Ferrari, a member of the Missionary Alliance Church in Blairsburg, was there to assist.
Thompson said the children volunteers are vital to the MobilePack's success.
Each year $26,000 needs to be raised to cover the cost of food.
And Thompson said quite a bit of that was raised by student-led fundraisers.
"It's really beautiful to see that," Thompson said. "It's kids feeding kids. They just understand that it's devastating for a child not to have a meal to eat."
Thompson was happy to announce that the MobilePack was on track to reach that $26,000 goal on Saturday.
Any extra money raised by the fundraiser will go to three ministries in Fort Dodge: The Salvation Army, the Beacon of Hope men's shelter and the Lord's Cupboard food pantry.
Scott Hatton, senior pastor at CrossWay Church, was impressed with the turnout.
"I love how the community comes together," said Hatton, who had volunteered throughout the day in almost every capacity. "People have always given generously."
The efforts of the volunteers at the MobilePack will result in 108,000 meals that will feed 300 children for a year.
"A whole year," Thompson said.
For the five years that the MobilePack has been done in Fort Dodge, more than half a million meals have been packed.
Thompson said she won't know until next week where the food will be shipped.
In previous years, the food has gone to Haiti, Dominican Republic, Mexico, North Korea and Ukraine.
"It's nice to see how much the community cares for children and how important it is to feed starving children around the globe," Thompson said.

Hong Kong Airlines has won a reprieve from Hong Kong's Air Transport Licensing Authority (ATLA) and will be able to continue operations.
The discount carrier had been under a deadline to shore up finances through a cash injection or lose its operating license. In a statement this past weekend, ATLA said that the carrier had met its requirements.
"According to the information provided by Hong Kong Airlines, the airline has raised its cash and cash equivalent to the level stipulated by ATLA and pledged that the level would be maintained," the agency said.
ATLA has not specified how large of a cash infusion it required of Hong Kong Airlines. The airline's parent company, HNA Group, secured a $568 million loan on Dec. 2, reported Forbes, but did not specify whether it would use that money for Hong Kong Airlines.
In its own statement Saturday, the carrier said funding for operations will be injected in phases.
"Over the past year, Hong Kong Airlines has rolled out a consolidation program to cut costs, optimize its network and elevate the customer experience," it said. "Moving forward, we will continue to drive consolidation and strengthen our internal structure to operate more efficiently and improve our revenue."
Last month, Hong Kong Airlines said it would end its lone U.S. service (Hong Kong-Los Angeles) on Feb. 8. The move is part of a broader 6% capacity reduction.
The carrier was already having significant financial difficulties prior to the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong that began this summer and have taken a huge toll on the city's travel industry. The protests have exacerbated the airline's financial troubles.

"Happy Air" Relaxes Your Child In Our Chair
Children can be very challenging when it comes to, well, everything. Feeding them is difficult, bathing them is difficult, disciplining them is difficult, treating them is difficult. But the researchers of dentistry has come up with a nice solution to relax the children when they sit in the dentist chair. We call it the "Happy Air Treatment".
What is it?
Let's find out.
What Is Happy Air Treatment?
Happy air treatment is more appropriately called inhalation sedation. In this treatment, your child will inhale nitrous oxide through a mask that fits over his nose. This will allow him to stay relaxed and he will cooperate with the treatment. It reduces the anxiety on the patient's part and makes the procedure hassle-free for the doctor. But is it safe?
How Safe Is Sedation Inhalation?
Use of nitrous oxide in medicine is not a new thing. It is a kind of oxygen-mixed gas. It is even not actually a painkiller or anaesthesia. It is called a 'laughing gas', although, it is primarily used to remove anxiety. Medical use of this gas is totally safe and does not have any health adversaries.
It is often used to calm down patients who 'fear' the treatment. It is even used during a woman's labour. Many adults use it during their dental treatment or even other forms of physical examination. It is very safe to use on children and adult alike.
Especially in children, if they are not co-operative, if they protest the treatment, forcing them to the treatment can lead to procedural injuries and can also make them apprehensive of any future treatments. This is why, at Alsawai, we encourage parents to opt for this "Happy Air Treatment".
How Does This Gas Work?
As mentioned before, this gas is not a painkiller or anaesthesia. It's only a relaxing agent. It reduces the sense of fear and anticipation. It will help your child to overcome the 'fear' of treatment, to move on from any prior bad experience regarding treatment. He will still have a sound mind. With a relaxed and focussed mind, the child will cooperate with the dentist. And since it is not anaesthesia, the child will still be wide awake and will be able to listen to the dentist and carry out necessary instructions.
The effect of this gas wears out as soon as the nitrous oxide mask is taken out. And it does not affect any of his activities later.
Can My Child Use Inhalation Sedation?
Sedation is fit for even small children. Dental problems generally show up by the age of 4 years. By that time, the child will be able to wear the mask and carry out minimal instructions as given by the doctor.
There is no upper limit to sedation inhalation. Even an adult can opt for it.
Please Note: Sedation Inhalation is generally safe for everyone. But it is always safer to bring to the notice of your doctor if you have any existing health condition.
If you have a naughty bundle of joy who refuses to go to the dentist even after you promise him sweets and gifts, bring him to Alsawai. With Happy Air Treatment, every child can have healthy white teeth!
