MANSFIELD TOWNSHIP, NJ (Warren County) – A brother and sister K9 team put on their first free demonstration Sunday afternoon at Mansfield Township Elementary School.
The fundraiser was organized by Hackettstown Police Officer Christopher Laver and his partner Jada, 2-year-old Belgian Malinois, along with Mansfield Township Police Officer Greg Zytko and his partner Jax, 2-year-old Belgian Malinois.
This was the first time brother and sister had work together. Both were born and bred here in the United States. Jax graduated the K9 academy in May 2016 and Jada graduated in May 2017.
The demonstrations taught people about the responsibilities of police dogs and their human partners. It also gave officers and their dogs the chance to show off their skills including tracking and the ability to catch some "bad guys".
The donations that were collected will go towards a bite suit for training. The suit will be used by Hackettstown and Mansfield Twp. Police.
There were many vendors as well as horse rides, live music and food.
Anyone wishing to donate can contact Ptl. Laver at 908-852-3302 or Ptl. Zytko at 908-689-6222.
K9 Jada getting a suspect out of a vehicle.

Family/Social support
A good network of family, friends and colleagues can help you through the difficulties you face in life - whether that means one bad day at work or a significant loss or breakdown over a prolonged period. Resilient people have a great degree of internal resources to get them through life's challenges, but will also know when to ask for help when it is needed. Having a network of people to receive support from when you need it (and give it when it is required from you) is also a way of meeting one of the basic human needs for love and connection.
- Try to connect with those at work. Those who have a best friend at work are seven times more likely to be engaged with their work, yet only 30 percent of employees report having a best friend at work.
- Pay attention to life beyond work, and include your family and friends in weekly plans.
- Improve relationships that you already have by putting in more effort. If you feel close to others, you are four times more likely to feel good about yourself and life.

David Cameron appoints lobbyist as energy advisor
David Cameron has appointed a former lobbyist for British Gas to be his
personal advisor on energy and climate change.
Tara Singh, whose previous role as public affairs manager at British-Gas
owner Centrica involved frequent contact with the Conservative Party,
took up her newly-created role at Number 10 this week.
She is responsible for briefing the prime minister on a day-to-day basis
on issues relating to energy and climate change.
This is a crucial role as the government works furiously to complete the
Energy Bill, a hugely important and ambitious piece of legislation that
will dictate the shape of the country's power infrastructure and will
determine whether Britain's lights stay on.
Ms Singh is also likely to be heavily involved in the run-up to the
crucial Paris climate change summit in 2015, where nearly 200 countries
will attempt to reach a hugely challenging agreement to significantly
cut their carbon emissions. Energy Minister Ed Davey has said he wants
Britain to play a key role in agreeing a global settlement.
Ms Singh joined Centrica in July 2009, working there for nearly four
years before joining the public relations firm Hill & Knowlton in
January for a short stint. The PR company represents the US defence
giant Lockheed Martin, the RenewableUK trade association and Statoil,
the Norwegian oil company raided by the European Commission last week on
suspicion that it sought to inflate oil and petrol prices.
However, while her appointment raised eye-brows in some quarters, it was
generally welcomed by people worried that the Tories are becoming
increasingly sceptical about climate change.
One environmental campaigner said: "She is not a climate sceptic by any
stretch of the imagination".
Ms Singh's appointment comes in the thick of a period of turmoil in the
government's energy and climate change teams that has been fuelled by
policy tensions between the Treasury and the Department for Energy and
Climate Change (DECC). This has resulted in the recent resignations of
the top-level DECC civil servants who are among the key architects of
the Energy Bill - head of strategy Ravi Gurumurthy and Jonathan
Brearley, head of energy markets and networks. Ben Moxham, an advisor to
Mr Cameron on energy and the environment has also quit, although Ms
Singh is not thought to be a direct replacement for Mr Moxham because
the prime minister is understood to be shuffling his climate change
advisory team around.
George Eustice, the MP who recently complained that wind turbines are
blighting the Cornish landscape but advocates marine power, was this
month given the energy and climate change brief on Mr Cameron's new
Conservative Parliamentary Advisory Board.
A Downing Street press officer confirmed Ms Singh's appointment but
declined to give details about her role.
Great Idea!
Why not just ignore Climate Change chaos and the energy crisis. Maybe they will just go away.

VW, Wilderness Foundation empower local youth
By TINTSWALO BALOYI
JOHANNESBURG, (CAJ News) – THE Volkswagen Group South Africa (VWSA) is supporting the Wilderness Foundation Africa empower South African youth from disadvantaged backgrounds.
It is offering its support through the Umzi Wethu project, part of its Youth Development Programme.
The project was established in April 2006 and has to date trained 286 students and 227 of them have been placed in full time employment.
The students are selected from disadvantaged communities with limited opportunities. The Umzi Wethu project offers these students both an education and a place to stay that provides stability during the training.
The students are offered comprehensive training programmes such as Professional Cookery or Conservation Resource Guardianship. Additionally, Umzi Wethu trains them on life skills, wellness as well as environmental education such as wilderness trails.
After successfully completing their studies, students who are studying Conservation Resource Guardianship are placed at various SANParks national parks as well as local private game reserves such as Shamwari, Kuzuko and Pumba.
Meanwhile, students that are studying Professional Cookery are placed at local Port Elizabeth restaurants, hotels and coffee shops as well as Hotel groups in the Western Cape such as Spier and Arabella.
Over the years VWSA has supported Umzi Wethu by providing vehicles that have been used to transport the students.
Thomas Schaefer, Volkswagen Group South Africa Chairman and Managing Director, says Wilderness Foundation Africa and VWSA share a strong relationship which has been cultivated over many years.
"As VWSA, we are glad to continue supporting the Umzi Wethu project which has empowered and given hope to a number of youth in the Nelson Mandela metro."

This post was supposed to be "Last Minute Holiday Recipes" according to the Holiday Blog Hop, but at this point in the season, I'm pretty much done. Truth be told, I never got into high gear this year. We have had the best December ever (well, except for last night, ahem . . . ) and I don't know if this is a correlation of any kind. Anyway, I have decided to look toward those lazy, cold days after the holidays and offer up some easy comfort food. (Check out the links at the very bottom of this post for a few festive recipes from fellow Blog Hoppers!)
Soup and bread constitute the majority of our meals in the winter. The boys and I can eat the same soup for lunch and dinner for days on end. One of our new favorites is this tomato soup. Oh my goodness. It is so, so good. The whole thing takes about 15 minutes from start to finish and it is divine. Serve it with a grilled cheese sandwich and you will be a happy camper. Usually, we don't get that fancy and just settle for toast on the side. I have an old post about baking bread here. The tone makes me cringe (those early blogging days are not pretty) and you can find most of my bread recipes here. The soup recipes (some new, some old) are below.
Now for the giveaway: I have a brand new copy of my favorite bread baking book of all time The Secrets of Jesuit Breadmaking by Rick Curry. It is a wonderful book of both basic and not-so-basic breads. If you would like to be entered into the drawing, please leave a comment below. I will announce the winner on January 3, 2014. Good luck.
Chickarina with Rice
- 1 quart chicken stock
- 2 quarts water
- 1 can whole tomatoes with liquid
- 4 stalks celery
- 3 carrots
- 1 large onion
- 2 parsnips
- 3 cups cooked rice
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound of ground beef
Add all ingredients – except ground beef – to a big soup pot and cook until vegetables are tender. Meanwhile mix granulated garlic, dried parsley, oregano, salt and pepper with ground beef. Shape into tiny meatballs (less than an inch in diameter.) Cook these in a separate pot of boiling water until done. After soup has cooked for about an hour, it should be nice and thick from the rice. Add cooked meatballs and serve with crusty bread.
Feel Better Chicken Soup
- 2 quarts chicken stock
- 1 quart water
- 4 carrots
- 4 ribs celery
- 1 large onion
- 1 head of garlic
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme (or 3 T fresh if you have it)
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano (or 3 T fresh if you have it)
Dice veggies. Cut garlic into slivers. Add all ingredients to liquids and simmer for about an hour. This soup gets better the next day.
- 3-4 pounds butternut squash, roasted in the oven and scooped out of skin
- 1 large onion
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 jar roasted red peppers, with liquid
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Sausage and Kale Soup
- 1 medium onion
- 4 carrots, chopped
- 3 stalks celery, chopped
- 5 potatoes, diced
- 1 can white beans
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 package roasted garlic chicken sausages, diced
- 1 bunch kale, chopped
- salt, pepper, thyme to taste
Saute onion in about 4 tablespoons of bacon grease. Add carrot, celery, garlic and potatoes. Fill pot with water and add white beans and spices. Simmer until veggies are soft. (I made this part early in the day and then just let it sit.) About an hour before serving, add the sausage. About 15 minutes before serving, add the kale. Serve with crusty bread on a cold night. (Like all soups, this one improves with age.)
New England Clam Chowder This recipe is adapted from The Joy of Cooking – or "The Joy" as my mom calls it.
- 1 large onion
- 1/4 -1/2 cup bacon grease
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 4 cans chopped clams, with liquid
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cups hot milk
Lightly brown onion in bacon grease. Add flour. Whisk until incorporated. Add 3 cups water and potatoes. Cook until potatoes are tender. Add clams, butter and milk. Simmer, but do not let chowder come to a boil. Cook for about 20 minutes.
And more soup:
*Tom reminded me of a soup we used to make when we were first married. It was called Dutch Farmer's Soup. Saute a large onion in 3 tablespoons of butter in the bottom of a large soup pot. Cut a cauliflower, 3 medium potatoes and 4 large carrots into chunks. Add vegetables and 8 cups of chicken stock to pot and cook until vegetables are tender. Serve with thick slices of sourdough bread topped with melted, smoked gouda cheese.
* My cure-all elixir has made its seasonal debut. It is great for whatever ails you, even if you just have a chill you can't shake. Fill a mug with chicken stock, crush in half a garlic clove, add a liberal spoonful of coconut milk and a nice pinch of sea salt. When we are sick I also add crushed red pepper (for respiratory ailments), ginger (for stomach stuff) or lemon (for sore throats).
* Butternut squash soup is a fall staple here. I just had a wonderful version at a friend's house: pureed butternut squash, roasted red peppers and coconut milk. She served it with brown rice, garnished with chopped nori. Oh it was good!
* I haven't tried this one yet, but I hope to soon: Green Soup. It looks so yummy.

David Carradine is raising Caine again.
Kwai Chang Caine, that is, as the new syndicated series, "Kung Fu: The Legend Continues," premieres this week.
The one-hour action series, filmed in Toronto, is a sequel to the 1972-75 offbeat ABC Western series, "Kung Fu," which starred Carradine as the shaven-headed Buddhist monk who was born in China of Chinese and American parents. Caine was raised as an orphan by the monks of Shoalin Temple, who educated him in their philosophy of nonviolence and "the oneness of things" but also taught him the martial arts of Kung Fu for self-protection.
In "Kung Fu: The Legend Continues," Carradine plays Caine's grandson. And like grandfather like grandson, Caine (they have the same name) is Kung Fu master.
In the series, Caine is reunited with his police detective son Peter (played by Chris Potter). Fifteen years earlier, Caine and Peter had been living happily at a Shoalin temple in Northern California when it was burned down by a renegade priest. Caine thought Peter perished in the flames until Caine's travels took him to the city where Peter, who has a reputation of being trigger-happy, works. Every week, Caine will help Peter with his cases while trying to teach his son about nonviolence.

Inspirations for Youth and Families teen treatment center founder and teen addiction expert, Karen Corcoran-Walsh was featured on Ask Dr. Nandi – a nationally syndicated medical, lifestyle afternoon television show. Karen also appeared on Dr. Phil. The episode: "Teen Drug Abuse," covered the life of her former client Savannah Miller with her mom Anne Miller at her side. Savannah struggled with teen marijuana abuse and behavioral issues before entering Inspirations for Youth Teen Rehab.
Karen gave advice to Savannah, who is 16-years old and admits to having used marijuana before entering Inspirations for Youth and Families teen rehab. Her mom, Anne Miller, needed to get help for Savannah when she realized she stole $200 from her. Savannah was initially sent to an alternative school for poor grades when she was 13. She has suffered through a number of mental health issues including ADHD, ODD, anxiety, depression, as well as a bipolar condition. Anne's mom sent her to Inspirations to treat both her drug abuse and mental behavioral issues, which in the addiction treatment industry is termed Dual Diagnosis.
To view the entire episode with Karen, watch the YouTube video below:
When Karen was asked how Savannah is doing, she responded:
"Savannah is doing great. She is developing healthy coping skills, decision making skills; she has regained her self-esteem and she understands the difference between what her identity is and her place in her family and life with her peers," said Karen.
Dr. Nandi also asked Karen how she helps teens develop their strength
"We have extensive therapy. We involve family members and we individualize each treatment plan for each teen specifically designed around their special needs. Whether it is mental health or substance abuse and addiction or a combination which would be dual diagnosis. Heavy family involvement is the key, the cornerstone as we have seen here with Anne and Savannah."
"Anne was very strong by holding her teen accountable. One of the keys to success is empowering parents to understand that they have an obligation and most of all the right to know what is going on with their children and to take action and make changes to save their teens life."
The good news is that Savannah has completed the program and is doing very well at home.

Brill's website.
If you feel compelled to purchase a volume from this series as a gift for me, please be aware that I'm seeking the paperback rather than hardback editions due to the price. I don't usually accept bribes from my students, but since even the paperback volumes are so expensive I will probably grant at least passing grades to students with enough chutzpah to slide one of these under my office door. I might even smile at you if you include a Kit Kat or Twix PB along with the book. Well . . . the grade and the smile aren't guaranteed, but you can try if you like.

My mother is a particular kind of woman - wealthy, but from humble beginnings; her family owned a masonry company and worked with their hands. I know she disapproves of my husband but for inane reasons; he said something to her in jest, she walked out on the twins' birthday party and they came tumbling down like bricks. She has no right deciding how we spend our money; my husband works hard to provide private schooling for the children and a beautiful home in a safe neighborhood. Someday I'll have my own catering business, once the kids are grown and I'm not so tired all the time. I stopped asking her to come because she refuses - when she's ready to apologize, I'm here. I sit and wait for her call.
Tara Lazar, author of Mother Misunderstanding, continues to write despite being awoken several times a night by a baby daughter who misunderstands the importance of sleep.

SanDisk designs, develops and manufactures flash memory storage devices and software. Its memory products are used in many market segments such as consumer electronics, mobile devices and various computing sectors.
As an industry leader in the flash storage area, SanDisk maintains sophisticated processes around planning and can forecast market trends five or more years ahead, using multiple spreadsheets from different departments and analysts. However, the spreadsheet-based processes were inefficient, and the spreadsheets were inconsistent among various IT teams throughout the company. SanDisk needed a custom application that automates the current planning processes and minimizes the use of spreadsheets.
Because SanDisk uses SAP for various applications and business intelligence (BI), the planning team wanted to leverage SAP for its planning application and build the BI interface. To keep pace with the company's planning schedule, it was critical to go live with this application before Q3; otherwise, business users would not be able to leverage the new application, and the project could be scrapped.
Progress partner AI Software proposed building a web-based custom application using Kendo UI® by Progress, which provides web developers with a feature- rich set of browser-based HTML5 and jQuery controls that are easy to use and work seamlessly in cross- platform browsers. As part of the framework, Telerik® UI for MVC by Progress enables the creation of fast-performing web applications.
"There are several .Net tools and controls out there, but Kendo UI provides the most programmer friendly interface via jQuery and AngularJS to create rich UI web applications. And we know clients like SanDisk cannot settle for anything less," said Piyush Bhatt, CEO of AI Software.
The end application was built using HTML5 and jQuery-based Kendo UI controls, Telerik® UI for ASP.NET MVC by Progress, a web API and a service layer that uses a custom Data Access Layer specifically developed for SAP HANA. Featuring highly interactive grids, drop- down and tab strip controls, the application renders seamlessly in multiple desktop browsers and tablets and can forecast production numbers at various hierarchical levels. Analysts can maintain various versions of their forecasts and merge them into the final published version developed by the planning managers or VPs. The reports are published at the end of every quarter using BI tools such as Tableau, and released to a larger audience, including the CEO and other decision makers in the company.
"With the help of Progress technologies, the AI team built an easy-to-use application that is well integrated with the existing ERP/Data Warehouse. It was well received by business users due to its user-friendly UI, data accuracy and responsiveness." -- Deepak Kakar, Senior Manager of IT at SanDisk
Three developers who specialize in .Net, Kendo UI framework and jQuery worked on the project. It took three months to completely develop and release the solution for production. AI Software also helped migrate the existing data from Excel spreadsheets into the HANA database.
With this new application, SanDisk users can plan and forecast production and sales numbers for all different markets they serve, without maintaining spreadsheets. Analysts are able to create sandbox versions of their forecasts and perform what-if analyses, by generating charts and reports using the BI tools. With the application's help, the SanDisk team can submit the forecast within the required time frames.
According to Deepak Kakar, Senior Manager of IT at SanDisk, AI developers at SanDisk report that development effort is reduced by roughly 30 percent when using Kendo UI controls instead of native asp.net MVC controls. The team successfully built a web-based app in just three months, with the desired functionality, which also integrates with the SAP/HANA database and supports multiple browsers. Kendo UI controls provide themes and device responsiveness out-of-the-box, which developers can easily integrate into their applications.
"With the help of Progress technologies, the AI team built an easy-to-use application that is well integrated with the existing ERP/Data Warehouse," said Kakar. "It was well received by business users due to its user-friendly UI, data accuracy and responsiveness."
"There are several .Net tools and controls out there, but Kendo UI provides the most programmer friendly interface via jQuery and AngularJS to create rich UI web applications. And we know clients like SanDisk cannot settle for anything less." -- Piyush Bhatt, CEO, AI Software

Most Seahawks fans have come to expect daring and surprise moves from Seattle's GM John Schneider and coach Pete Carroll. The Superbowl champs made another curious and unexpected move, trading a 7th round draft pick to the Oakland Raiders for quarterback Terrelle Pryor.
A third-round pick in the 2011 NFL supplemental draft, Pryor played in 15 games, with 10 starts during his three seasons in Oakland. His best production came in 2013 when he started 9 games, completed 57% of his passes for nearly 1,800 yards and seven touchdowns.
The Raiders acquired former Houston quarterback Matt Schaub this spring, and were ready to waive Pryor. Seattle didn't wait to pounce on a 6′-6″ man who can run a 4.38 40 yard dash.
"Terrelle is an incredibly explosive athlete and we're excited for him to come in an compete, " said Seahawks' Executive Vice President and GM John Schneider in the team's news release.
Seattle already has three quarterbacks on the roster with Russell Wilson entrenched as the starter. Veteran Tarvaris Jackson has a guaranteed one-year deal, and B.J. Daniels spent part of last season on practice squad.
Knowing Seattle's willingness to use gifted athletes in unique ways, don't be surprised if they try Terrelle Pryor as a wide receiver or come in for trick plays.

Actual demand is a term used in supply chain synchronization, which implies that the companies make exact number of products suitable for meeting the customer demand. The organizations used to rely on historical statistics of purchase to forecast the number of goods required but these method does not take into account the external factors which can lead to a disturbance in the demands of the customer or the supply chain.
In order to tackle this problem, many companies deploy inventory optimization techniques to balance their inventory levels with the actual demand. It takes into account all the external factors like supplier relations, fluctuating levels of demand, economic and market conditions. It allows the organizations to identify the apt amount of requisite stocks at stores, distribution centres and warehouses. By implementing this, companies are able to cut down on their inventory costs thus becoming more profitable.
Since the organization is able to match supply with demand, it allows it to fulfil the demands of the customer through an appropriate channel. This is how companies are able to match the actual demand.
Hence, this concludes the definition of Actual Demand along with its overview.

From Bloomberg:
When the doors to the hen house open, the 14,000 chickens on Edwin Blosser's organic egg farm make a mad dash for the pasture outside, where they can scratch and peck in the dirt.
"It's just like an ocean of birds going out the doors — zoom!" Blosser said.
Greg Herbruck says his organic laying hens also love the outdoors — but they spend their time in the fresh air on concrete patios and in other enclosures.
The two farmers — both organic, both concerned about the well-being of their birds — exemplify a debate raging among organic devotees about how livestock should be raised. Some insist that organic means small farms, open space and fresh air. They want the U.S. Department of Agriculture to create new rules defining the conditions in which organic hens should be kept.

Gullane Golf Club, East Lothian
The scheme comprised of the complete strip out and alteration of the existing space to reconfigure for purpose. Further works consisted of the construction of an outward timber and glazed frame extension and an associated 2 storey timber frame vertical extension on top of the existing brick and block structure.
The site was bounded to north by club parking facilities with the site being bound to the west by Hummel Road and residential properties with the east of the site also being bound by existing residential properties with West Links Road being to the south of the site.
The works involved the complete internal strip out and alteration to the existing space and reconfigure it from a series of smaller rooms which were no longer fit for purpose, to create a much larger and open space upon entry to the club house. This was achieved through the installation of folding partitions that would be to provide a flexible showcase setting.
The works to the ground floor comprised of carrying out the construction of an all new contemporary glazed golfer's entrance to the rear of the building. The entrance was constructed using traditional insitu concrete foundations and concrete floor slabs with a timber and glazed frame that not only provided a welcoming bag drop lobby but also housed a drying room and trolley charging store as well as providing both men's and women's locker rooms sits quietly hidden from public view.
Further works comprised of carrying out the construction of a 2 storey timber frame extension on top of the existing brick and block work structure. Via the removal of the existing roof to provide a more modern kitchen that allows for the enhancing of dining capacity. Management and administration areas also benefit from the more efficient use of space.
Further to this a new boiler system along with the installation excellent insulation and double glazing, allowed for the clubhouse to become significantly more energy efficient. Further works also saw the installation of a new lift to provide access to all areas of the clubhouse. Other notable features of the reconfiguration of the existing clubhouse saw us install two modern bar areas and vanity units that were carefully manufactured and installed by our in-house joinery division.
Due to the close proximity of surrounding properties we had to coordinate our works effectively so that we did not disturb local residents during off peak times. Further to this due to the building being a grade 2 listed building we had to liaise closely throughout all processes with the planners to ensure we were not in breach of any legislation. The complexity of the internal reconfiguration presented a challenge but was overcome through carefully micromanaging and effectively sequencing each stage of the works.
Added Value
Our motto is 'leading the way in constructing communities' and focus our efforts on supporting the people who live in and around the communities where we work, this was demonstrated through providing valuable work experience and working hours to a number of apprentices comprising of a bricklayer, a joiner, mechanical and electrical, a roofer and two painters and decorators. Further to this, we collaborated with East Lothian Council to provide a work experience placement for an agreed duration of the works.

From The Gospel of John, directed by Philip Saville
Readings (New American Bible: Philippines, USA)
Readings (Jerusalem Bible: Australia, England & Wales, India [optional], Ireland, New Zealand, Pakistan, Scotland, South Africa)
Gospel John 1:35-42 (New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised CatholicEdition)
The next day John again was standing with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by, he exclaimed, 'Look, here is the Lamb of God!' The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, 'What are you looking for?' They said to him, 'Rabbi' (which translated means Teacher), 'where are you staying?' He said to them, 'Come and see.' They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon. One of the two who heard John speak and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first found his brother Simon and said to him, 'We have found the Messiah' (which is translated Anointed. He brought Simon to Jesus, who looked at him and said, 'You are Simon son of John. You are to be called Cephas' (which is translated Peter).
St Andrew the Apostle, El Greco [Web Gallery of Art]
God calls each of us to our particular vocation in life in a unique way. Pope Francis has told us, for example, that it was on the occasion of going to confession when he was 17 that he saw clearly that God was calling him to be a priest. A couple at whose wedding I officiated some years ago were members of the same Catholic organisation in the university they attended. They became an 'item', as they say in the Philippines, when they were the only members of the group to turn up at the appointed time for an outing. While waiting for the others to arrive they discovered that they were more than just casual friends. Now they are happily married with four children.
I'm always amused by the Second Reading from the Office of Readings for the feast of St Anthony the Abbot, 17 January. St Athanasius tells us: He went into the church. It happened that the gospel was then being read, and he heard what the Lord had said to the rich man 'If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.'
The young man Anthony, whose parents had died about six months previously, took these words to heart and went to live in the desert. He became, without planning it, the 'Father of Monasticism' in the Church. And perhaps if he had not been late for Mass that day the Gospel might not have struck him as it did. He was to be 'later' than most in another sense in that he was 105 when he died, a remarkable age to live to now but even more remarkable in the fourth century! Unlike the married couple above whose punctuality led them to discover God's call for them, it was through being late for Mass that Anthony discovered what God had in mind for him.
Raphaël Simi, Jean Vanier and Philippe Seux, 2014
In 1964 Jean Vanier invited two men with learning disabilities, Raphael Simi and Philippe Seux, who had been living in institutions, to live with him in a small cottage that he bought and renovated in France. Having done so he realized that he had made a commitment to these two men and that his commitment involved remaining single. He had no intention of founding a movement but, in God's plan, that's what came about: L'Arche. Raphaël and Philippe are now considered, with Jean, co-founders of L'Arche.
Fr Hans Urs von Balthasar, a great Swiss theologian much admired by St John Paul II, in reflecting on today's Gospel from the First Chapter of St John, links it to an incident in the last chapter, John 21: 15 ff [starting at 0:55 in the video below].
Fr von Balthasar writes: In the last chapter of the book Peter will be the foundation stone to such a degree that he will also have to undergird ecclesial love: 'Simon, do you love me more than these?'
John 21:15-17 was the gospel read at the Pope's Mass in Manila Cathedral on 16 January 2015 with priests, religious, consecrated persons and seminarians. This passage shows what is at the heart of every call from God, whether to marriage, to the priesthood, to the consecrated life, to the single life. The call is above all to an intimate relationship with Jesus. Pope Francis highlighted this in his homily: For us priests and consecrated persons, conversion to the newness of the Gospel entails a daily encounter with the Lord in prayer. The saints teach us that this is the source of all apostolic zeal! For religious, living the newness of the Gospel also means finding ever anew in community life and community apostolates the incentive for an ever closer union with the Lord in perfect charity. For all of us, it means living lives that reflect the poverty of Christ, whose entire life was focused on doing the will of the Father and serving others.
Pope Francis also said, The poor are at the centre of the Gospel, are at heart of the Gospel; if we take away the poor from the Gospel we can't understand the whole message of Jesus Christ.
Living the Gospel within the context of a deep personal relationship with Jesus the Risen Lord involves seeing reality through the eyes of those with little in life. Pope Francis showed this in a beautiful way by an unplanned - at least it wasn't on the official schedule - to a group of very poor children at TNK in Manila, near the Cathedral. ('Tulay ng Kabataan' means 'A Bridge to Children').

A stream's weight value is used to determine traffic distribution – by percentage – when your campaign has more than one Stream added.
When you create multiple Streams, they are automatically assigned a default weight of 100.
This is to ensure that your traffic is distributed at an even ratio for a new campaign.
Note: You can edit your Stream's weight at any time to redistribute traffic at an optimal ratio.
It can be done once the performance of a Path has been accurately measured following the campaign's "testing" period.
For example, if one lander is doing better (higher CTR %) than another within the same campaign, you can increase the path weight of the best performing lander to distribute traffic at a higher ratio to the better performing LP.

DEVOPSdigest – Aruna Ravichandran – 1/11/17
[Ed. note: Author is Aruna Ravichandran, VP of DevOps Solution and Product Marketing at CA Technologies]
If there's any consistent criticism that's been leveled at the DevOps movement, it's that the term comprises such a wide range of concepts to so many different people, and that it's become more closely associated with marketing(link is external) than real-world adoption.
So how do you overcome such critiques? Obviously the onus is upon those of us working in the space — especially on the provider side — to put a finer point on what DevOps (currently) encompasses in a practical sense(link is external). A big part of this must be found in highlighting those real-world use cases where DevOps is having the most significant impact.
Those specific ideas were among the primary targets that my co-authors and I set out to pursue when we began writing our recently released book DevOps for Digital Leaders(link is external). Looking at what we were able to produce, I honestly feel that we hit those goals.

An enterprising prisoner has put his cell up for rent on flatmate website, easyroommate.co.uk.
The cell, which he describes as a "Bijou studio in the heart of leafy Ham" is part of HM Prison Latchmere House in Richmond. He is offering a roomshare for £325 a month (including bills).
The full text of advert reads:
"One of a kind studio flatshare in attractive old building with original features, bordering Richmond Common and within walking distance of Richmond Golf Course. In need of some renovation, characterful Latchmere House is historically significant having been used by MI5 during the war.
This compact but charming room would suit an environmentally friendly roommate who would view the lack of electricity as a perfect match to the building's idyllic rural location.
The room is a well-presented flexible living space. Access to B-wing toilets, vending machines, kitchenettes (with microwave, toaster, hot water, and fridges) and TV rooms at all times. No bills for electricity, water, or gas. No TV license and no council tax.
Good transport links and excellent 24 hour security."
It seems the prisoner, who is identified only as "Norman" on the site, may have read a few too many estate agency adverts while out on day release. In a recent report, Latchmere House – a Category D men's prison housing 200 prisoners – has been criticised for being under a poor state of repair, with plaster coming off the walls, evidence of damp, and the lack of natural light compounded by the fact that some windowpanes had been painted over.
This is not the first time prisons have been used for purposes other than confining inmates. Ruthin Gaol, Denbighshire, is now owned by county council and used as records office. And Oxford prison, which was closed in 1996, has been redeveloped as a shopping and heritage complex.

One perpetual resolution of mine — at New Year's and pretty much any time — is to get more organized. Above is a perfect example of how my reality typically turns out… important reminders get written on a sticky note and then stuck to my computer monitor where I will be sure to see them, remember them, and act on them. Regrettably, I get so used to seeing the stickies that I no longer notice them.
With the new year waiting in the wings, this is the time that I'm naturally thinking about the year that is passing and how I'd like to improve and change in the year to come. I'm not entirely convinced that resolutions are the best approach, as much as a more perpetual drive to improve oneself and one's lot in life. … But help me out here… Have you ever "resolved" something at New Years and had it work for you? What was it and what did you do to make it work for you? Do you have traditions for New Years that are meant to inspire a prosperous New Year?
I'd love to hear from you on this!

The new game machines are set to go in the shops ...
It's a cold morning and has certainly got much colder as the light has come up once again. At 5.30 it wasn't too bad but by 9 o'clock it has dropped two or three degrees and we have got a slight touch of freezing fog. Everybody is working well and the horses are getting a good exercise. We have been on the Rubbing House polytrack and Hamilton Hill.
We have one runner today where Hold Firm runs in the 5.30 at Wolverhampton. He is top weight in this and must have a sound chance of being involved. As we know he has been very unlucky the last three times he has run and the last time was even worse when his rein broke and he took off too early and just failed to get home. Hopefully things will go more smoothly today and I certainly don't think he will be too far off in this type of race.
The Kempton Park fallout goes on with three big pieces on it today in the Racing Post. Everybody has their own opinions but I think the one that Bill Barber wrote, who is the industry editor, is the most sensible. It points out the pros of what the Jockey Club are hoping to do and, as I keep saying, we can't be looking short term we have to be looking to the long term. Lee Mottershead on the other hand seems to think everybody has a blinkered view in Newmarket and are self-centred, plus he thinks when I say everybody, it is an interesting interpretation of the word. We all as trainers appreciate how this development would affect our fellow trainers in Epsom, Lambourn and further beyond, but times are changing. The staff situation is changing and it is not just changing slowly, it is changing quickly. Costs are escalating and new owners are thin on the ground. In a few years' time our industry will be even more centralised and the Jockey Club understand this, but with the majority of flat horses in the country trained in Newmarket, it makes so much sense to have an all-weather racecourse based in town. There may be plans afoot in the future for an all-weather surface to spring up nearer to Lambourn, what about the inside of Newbury for example. They have done it at two tracks in France, Deauville and Chantilly, why not Newbury? With all the housing development it wouldn't have cost that much to have put one there. It is always going to be contentious, but forward thinking, not short termism is what is needed.

Have we seen the last of the ocular-stenotic reflex, even for those with rose tinted spectacles?28 November 2013
BCS Editorial
By: Will Davies
The Society of Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) has this week published an Expert Consensus Statement on the Use of Fractional Flow Reserve, Intravascular Ultrasound, and Optical Coherence Tomography.(1) The ten members of the writing committee were led by Dr Lloyd Klein from Rush Medical College, Chicago, Illinois, and authors were drawn from interventional cardiology centres within the United States. Their conclusions are likely to have a significant impact on the practice of percutaneous coronary intervention both in the US and closer to home.
The limitations of coronary angiography alone in assessing lesion severity and significance have been well documented.(2-4) The inter-observer variability is high and little further information is gleaned from computer-assisted quantitative angiography. Despite mounting evidence for the utility of both adjunctive anatomical techniques, such as Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), and physiological assessment of lesion significance using Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR), both modalities remain underutilised in daily practice. The rates of use for IVUS and FFR in intermediate coronary stenoses (defined as between 40 and 70% of visual estimated diameter) are 20.3% and 6.1% respectively according to the 2012 version of the National Cardiovascular Data Registry in the US.(5) Indeed the picture is likely to be similar within the United Kingdom. The 2012 British Cardiovascular Intervention Society audit data(6) shows that 244,880 cardiac catheterisation procedures were performed in the UK last year with 91,098 percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). The use of adjunctive methods of assessment were recorded for all procedures and can be analysed both at the time of diagnostic angiography and during an interventional procedure. FFR was used in 6,132 PCI cases (approximately 7%), IVUS in 4,941 cases (approximately 5%) and OCT in 458 cases (approximately 0.5%).
So why are we underutilising invasive diagnostic tools to such an extent? Is it that the evidence remains unconvincing? Take FFR for example. FFR is defined as the ratio of the mean distal coronary pressure to the mean aortic pressure at maximal hyperaemia usually induced by intravenous or intracoronary adenosine. It is independent of hemodynamic changes caused by heart rate, blood pressure or the force of myocardial contractility. FFR assesses the functional significance of an epicardial stenosis and is, therefore, a measure of ischaemic potential. The DEFER study(7) looked at patients with stable ischaemic heart disease and an intermediate stenosis. If the FFR in these patients was >0.75 and no stent was implanted the rate of death and myocardial infarction at five year follow-up was half that of those patients in the same cohort who received a stent. The FAME study(8) randomised patients to either FFR guided or angiography guided PCI. At 2-year follow-up the combined rate of death and MI remained significantly lower in the FFR guided group, as did freedom from angina. Not only was this clinical benefit apparent, but this was also noted to be a cost saving strategy with significantly fewer stents deployed. FAME 2(9) randomised patients with single or multivessel stable ischaemic heart disease to FFR guided PCI and optimal medical therapy (OMT) versus OMT alone. The trial was stopped early due to a significantly higher rate of urgent revascularisation in the OMT alone arm (11.1% vs 1.6%, p<0.001). FFR also has the potential to convert triple vessel disease to single- or double-vessel disease by discounting the non-functionally significant lesions.(10)
The role for both IVUS and OCT is likely to lie in the guidance of stent placement and stent optimisation. In complex anatomical situations such as ostial lesions, left main stem disease, bifurcations and in diffuse epicardial coronary disease, the value of more accurate anatomical data has been shown to be of benefit in observational studies.(11,12) OCT may also have the capability to identify the vulnerable plaque, or indeed identify the underlying nature of the plaque rupture that has caused an ST elevation myocardial infarction(13) leading to a more conservative management strategy. However, due to the lack of prospective randomised studies OCT remains largely a research tool at present.
The SCAI writing group made several recommendations based on their extensive review of the recent literature:-
1. In patients with stable ischaemic heart disease, FFR should be used to guide PCI in lesions of both intermediate (50% to 70%) and more severe (<90%) stenoses, in the absence of concordant functional imaging.
2. In patients with stable ischaemic heart disease with an intermediate lesion having an FFR >0.8 , optimal medical therapy should be used alone. Patients with an FFR<0.8 should be treated with PCI.
3. In patients with multivessel coronary disease, PCI guided by FFR measurement improves outcome and saves resources.
4. In patients with three-vessel coronary disease, measuring FFR could aid decision making between PCI and coronary artery bypass grafting.
5. FFR should not be used in the context of an ST elevation myocardial infarction or unstable coronary syndrome.
6. IVUS can be used to appraise the size of a vessel undergoing PCI and to optimise the result following stent deployment.
7. OCT can be used in a similar fashion to IVUS to optimise stent deployment. It may also have a role in the assessment of plaque morphology.
The low utilisation of these adjunctive assessment modalities is sure to change over the coming months and years. The extended use of FFR to guide the decision to treat a lesion, and IVUS or OCT to ensure that this treatment has been optimal, can only result in improved patient outcomes. As a paradox in modern medicine, this improvement in outcome will also be likely to bring a substantial cost saving.

Millions converge in Rio to celebrate Carnival 2018 with parades
Millions of Brazilians and tourists alike are dancing away at the annual Carnival celebrations in Rio de Janeiro. The national festivities began on Friday and will continue till February 18th.
Carnival is a wild, colorful festival celebrated each year before Lent. It's considered to be one of the largest festivals in the world.
This year, drag queen Pabllo Vittar is headlining the parade of one of Rio most famous samba schools as the tradition of ridiculing cultural icons and pushing social boundaries continues. The theme of the school's parade is promoting tolerance.
See the hottest photos from Rio's Carnival 2018.

summer is here
and i'm done with school for the year!
i want to show you guys
some of my projects from this semester...
i'll start with this project:
(all five illustrations)
it was the final project for the "illustration and text" course.
we had to illustrate 5 autobiographic book covers.
the teacher told us what the book titles were in advance.
for all of the non-hebrew-speakers, here are the titles:
1. a childhood that has come and gone (yellow)
2. where is my youth? (green)
3. love has many aspects (pink)
4. the fountain of creation (blue)
5. where to go next? (red)
for over a month, i was struggling,
trying to find a concept that would really represent me.
i got a bit stuck there, for a while...
and after a very emotional conversation with jesse
("i can't do this! i'm broke, out of ideas! i want to quit NOW!!!")
he suggested i would do it about clothes.
how did i not think about this before?!??
so in 3 days (and sleepless nights)
i created this project.
it's not perfect, and i can think of a few things
i would have done differently,
had i had more time
but i'm really proud of it!
more projects will be posted soon :)
have a restful weekend!
have a restful weekend!

Jefferson County is among the top 10 counties in the state in the number of AIDS cases reported, a local health care educator said Thursday.
Jefferson County is among the top 10 counties in the state in the number of AIDS cases reported, a local health care educator said Thursday.
Chinetta Davis, a certified treatment educator in the subject of AIDS who works for the Jefferson Comprehensive Care System, told the West Pine Bluff Rotary Club that there were 259 cases of AIDS reported statewide in 2011, the last year for which statistics are available.
Of that number, 10 were reported in Jefferson County. Pulaski County had 87, the most in the state.
Breaking down the statewide number, Davis said 132 of those with the virus are black, another 82 white, 18 Hispanic and the 27 remaining are of other races or the race is unknown. There were 217 male and 42 females.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, there were 5,351 cases reported nationwide in 2011, and Davis said those numbers are probably not completely accurate, since health officials believe that a significant number of people have the AIDS virus and have not been diagnosed with it.
Davis said she is working with 400 clients who have the virus, including some who live in Little Rock and others who are in the prison system.
�People don�t talk about it much anymore but it is still very much a problem,� Davis said.
She said symptoms of the virus include flu-like illness, night sweats, swollen lymph nodes, chronic fatigue, recurring respiratory infections, unexplained diarrhea and unexplained weight loss.
While the AIDS virus is spread through unprotected sex and infected blood, Davis said it cannot be spread by �shaking hands, in a swimming pool, a social kiss, from a toilet seat, or from a cup, food or an animal.
�Cases are increasing nationwide and in Arkansas,� she said, explaining that while most cases in previous years could be found in cities, the AIDS virus is spreading to rural areas that she said are �hard to get information from because no one wants to talk much about it.�
Davis said Jefferson Comprehensive Care will test people for the AIDS virus at no cost to them.
�We get grants to pay for the testing fee,� she said.

Anyway, I'm not complaining here people. I am just confused about how others manage to keep up their tweeting/blogging while "deep in the cut" of some tech project.
Do any of you have any tips? Please speak up here and let me know.

It's almost time for Surf City residents to shop at their own Costco.
After more than two years of talks and planning, the warehouse chain is expected to open its first Huntington Beach store at Bella Terra at 8 a.m. on May 2.
"The entire city of Huntington Beach is excited about Costco coming to our community," said Mayor Don Hansen. "We're looking forward to having that option in our city versus traveling to other cities to have the experience they deliver."
For Costco, investing in Huntington Beach has been on the agenda for more than just two years. It's been about 15 years since the company looked to open a store in the city, said Bruce Greenwood, Costco's senior vice president and general manager of the Los Angeles region.
"We're looking forward to it," he said. "[We] finally found a suitable site for us, and we're just happy to serve that area of the community."

| 1. I matched her skin tone from the Jouer palette them added a tad darker to warm her skin up. What's awesome about this line is every item from base to lips can be linked together to make one amazing palette its great for being on set for last looks.
2. I used Smashbox shadow in OYSTER all over the lids, its a Velvet like shine that ads amazing subtle shimmer that bounces light.
3. Using Smashbox new Masquerade palette, Blue And purple to create a a strong contour in the crease of the eye.
4. Smashbox Liquid liner pen was used on the top lash line, almost like stippling liner as close to the lash line as i could. in Black
5. Smashbox Limitless eye liner in navy on the inner rims and lower lash line for high drama!

Mean Grasshopper - Nightmare Build
Restyling a build I ended up reshaping it so much that now I'm looking to a quite different bot. A mean grasshopper the size of a bus and up to no good, stuff of nightmares.
walker mixed rotors, 7 rail cannons for redundancy, connectivity and isolation are balanced: damage redirection and several layers of triforcing on the pilot seat and underneath the frame, surrounded by some full blocks to absorb damage, multiple and distinct connections to movement and weaponry, each of which is light for faster regeneration, since the rotors are below the chassis I added a couple of downward thrusters to easily recover from flipping. Weapon angles are nice and clean, the plates and foils are guards to absorb damage directed to secondary connection points.
original build: Mars Industrial Grave Digger

Oh, I just have to be totally nuts to be painting on Christmas eve but I have been, but only for a couple of hours. The wife wanted me out of the way while she did some household chores and told me to go and paint as the boys were happily building things with lego in their room. So the opportunity was taken.
I really did not do much today, I painted into the small hours last evening, in an effort to break the back of the 42 Saxons that I have as a small commission. Unusually for Foundry figures these are not a nice paint, the moulds are obviously worn as the castings were a devil to clean up properly and I was unable to remove some of the mould lines or risk losing parts of figures. So far I have managed to complete 18 of these and have another 8 almost complete and 16 that are well under way. The whole grouping is a real mix of different types and I am trying to work them as best I can by creating groups of similar figures together and working them that way.
I have also started the base work for the spider, this is going to take some hard painting to get the overall finish right, but should look very nice if I can pull it off !! The spider remains untouched from the four hour session I put into it yesterday as I want the paint to fully harden off before I start handling it for the fine details.
Well That only leaves me to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, I hope you all enjoy your celebrations and get at least some of the shiny new toys you have your hearts set on.
For obvious reasons I shall not be posting tomorrow as I will undoubtedly be playing games and having some fun with the boys. I should return with another update possibly Boxing Day, anyway have a good one folks!

NFL Week 15 Fantasy Fill-ins
Putting the final piece of your fantasy football puzzle together
I've uncovered some guys you can plug in to your lineup if you are dealing with an injury or tough matchups. Check back following the games to see the stat line of guys profiled.
Tyler Thigpen - The last time Thigpen faced San Diego he fired three TDs. He faces them at home so another solid game should be in order.
Stat Line: 19 of 28 for 171 yards, TD, INT, 10 carries for 40 yards, TD
Kevin Smith - He had a nice game against Minnesota despite the presence of the Williams Wall. He should have more room to run against Indianapolis this week, who rank 25th with 129.8 rushing ypg. They have allowed 15 rushing TDs.
Stat Line: 20 carries for 88 yards, TD, 6 catches for 31 yards
Jonathan Stewart - Kudos to you if you had the foresight to play J-Stew vs. Tampa last week. Another big game could be in store for the part-time back this week as the Panthers face Denver's soft run D. They're yielding 139.5 ypg.
Stat Line: 16 carries for 52 yards, TD
DeSean Jackson - After failing to catch a pass last week, DeSean should see a considerable bounceback with a juicy matchup against Cleveland.
Stat Line: 5 catches for 77 yards, INT
Deion Branch - After scoring a pair of TDs against his former teammates, Branch gets to face St. Louis, who is 24th against the pass with 224.8 ypg allowed. They've given up 17 TD strikes.
Stat Line: 5 catches for 76 yards
Visanthe Shiancoe - Shiancoe showed a lot last week. Enough of the locker room scene talk. He did catch a pass. With T-Jack at the helm, the big TE should be counted on more this week.
Stat Line: 1 catch for 8 yards.
Olindo Mare - St. Louis is tied for 29th with 122 Kicker points allowed. A couple of FGs could be in order for the former Syracuse Orangemen.
Stat Line: 3 FGs, 2 PATs
New England - Things are getting so bad for the Patriots that they contemplated signing Andre Tippett. Kidding. The Pats face Oakland this week so multiple Sacks and Turnovers should be in the cards, especially if weather is a factor.
Stat Line: INT, 2 Sacks, Kick Return TDs (if you're in a DST league)

When Apple unveiled their plans for Apple Music at the WWDC in June, many felt the presentation was awkward, poorly practiced, and half-baked. Watching Eddie Cue and Jimmy Iovine stumble their way through the presentation was an embarrassing display that deflated the power of the newly improved music service they were unveiling. Several weeks later, Apple finally released Apple Music with plenty of corporate ballyhoo. Although fanboys are already cheering the new service, so far the more serious reviews have been positive. With the perfect marriage of iTunes, the inventive features of Beats Music, and the timeless joy of broadcast radio, Apple has once again established itself as a leader of the music industry.
Companies like Spotify, Pandora, and Songza have taken some of the wind out of Apple's sales. With similar albeit mediocre offerings, Apple's music streaming competitors have enjoyed undeniable success among younger listeners, and have been chipping away at Apple's bottom line. With plenty of available music streaming alternatives, the music consuming trends of paying consumers has shifted through the years and Apple knew that it was time to pivot and reposition themselves to combat the competition.
Apple Music is an evolution, not a revolution
Apple has not reinvented the music listening/streaming experience, but it has constructively built upon the existing iTunes format with features gained from the acquisition of Beats by Dre and its innovative Beats Music app, like curated music playlists and personalized recommendations. The end result is a vastly improved iTunes and a big step forward toward solidifying Apple's dominance in the music industry. Apple's decision to make their new service available to alternative mobile platforms like Android will establish their dominance even further when it becomes available this Fall.
When iTunes was first released, it revealed a future for musical consumption that we did not know we even needed. It was a forward thinking format that in many ways promised to be ahead of the curve, but Apple got lazy and companies like Spotify showed the consumer a different way. In many ways, with Apple Music, the folks in Cupertino are playing catch-up. The additional features to Apple Music are familiar and not particularly innovative, but their exclusion from the iTunes format of old left music lovers wanting for years now. Apple has finally delivered a modern music streaming service with the entire iTunes catalog at your fingertips. And with the key features of Beats Music integrated with Apple Music, discovery is now front and center.
And there is more. iTunes Radio has been a sub-par experience since its inclusion in the iTunes app. There was something missing from the curated music lists. iTunes Radio had a boring mixed tape feel and Apple desperately needed to elevate the experience to a more personal level. The Beats 1 radio channel, with its live radio host Zane Lowe and his crew of DJs and artists, now provides a fresh energy and excitement that truly satisfies in a way that a curated playlist cannot. A good DJ is like a close friend. They can make suggestions, tell you stories, provide exclusive content and interviews and create exposure for independent artists. In a world where the youth are quick to tune out with a pair of Beats headphones, having a live DJ available to them may not be such a bad idea. Beats 1 does not reinvent radio, but it can potentially expose millions of youth to a timeless experience that the older generations took for granted and still do. Radio can be fun.
Is Apple Music worth it?
In a word, yes. For ten dollars a month, you can experience Apple Music with its unlimited iTunes catalog, Beats 1 radio channel, and limitless tools to aid you in discovering new material, new artists and new musical genres. Gone are the days when we spent half a paycheck on a stack of compact disks only to find a handful of worthwhile songs. With Apple Music, you can really ask yourself, how far down the rabbit hole can I go? Naturally, you keep all of your existing music files, whether in the cloud or downloaded to your device, but it almost seems unnecessary now. With Apple Music you have access to all your desired music on command. Apple Music is inspiration, discovery and exposure, but most of all, Apple Music is fun.

"Filling in the Gaps" Lent 3C
"Filling in the Gaps"
A sermon preached at St John Lutheran Church of Prairie Hill on the third Sunday in Lent, March 3, 2013. Texts: 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 and Luke 13:1-9.
I tire of sermons that shy away from the "big questions." So this one jumps right into the deep end, with the question: "Why do people suffer?"

I have been wanting to do a juice cleanse since forever. I have once, but only a day and being a food enthusiast that worship food, never had crossed my mind that I'd be able to do a 3 days juice detox. The thoughts of having only liquid for three whole days was just impossible. But that was then.
As some of you might know, for the last 4 - 5 months, I have been cutting back on my food hunting days. I still go out and eat, especially on weekends, but on daily, I mostly eat clean with home cooked food or healthy catering. So, I thought now is the right time I give that 3 days juice detox a try.
People have their own reasons for detoxing, mine as probably many others is...
Those eight listed above are personally what my body is facing and lacked of. Number 6 probably not a common motivation for others, but I have been suffering from Psoriasis for nine years, and though I know Psoriasis can't be cured, but I do hope that from time to time, it won't relapse as frequent as now, if I can commit to making this detox cleanse as a habit.
*Psoriasis is a skin disease marked by red, itchy and scaly patches.
Why you should choose Cold Press Indonesia?
1. The brand guarantees only natural ingredients packed with no preservatives, no added sugar, no added water and no coloring.
2. Personally I love how efficiency and thoughtful they are for having each bottles numbered so no confusion on which one to consume first.
3. The natural ingredients are listed on the bottle for efficiency.
4. The juices are fresh, tasty and packed with 100% nutrients and the volume is 500ml, more than enough to avoid hunger pangs.
5. Reliable and fast service. For my three days detox, the delivery was done twice to ensure the freshness quality.
So, without further ado... This is what my 3 days detox look like. They have 5 kinds of cleanse program to choose from; power cleanse, skin glow & weight maintenance, classic, anti ageing and vitality. Each is designed to what you need at the moment. Click here for more info of which program to choose.
3 Days Juice Detox - Skin Glow & Weight Maintenance
I wouldn't say the 3 days cleanse is easy, obviously there were cravings for solid food, but if you could overcome the cravings, you could survive the 3 days as the 6 bottles for one day is more than enough. I even left out two bottles on my second day since I felt too full to finish all six.
Anyway, I wrote this post one day after I finished my detox. I might not see any prompt visibly results because detox just doesn't works that way, the result is more noticeably in long term. However, one thing I do notice soon is brighter complexion, a flatter tummy and 1,8kgs weight loss. Something always be happy about. :)
If you're still not really sure on detoxifying, you could try their daily juice first. Comes with six healthy flavors in 250ml volume. Good enough for your daily vitamins.
Veggie Rhapsody, Freshen Up, Berry Hunter, Tropical Greens, Beet Harvest, Wintermelon Orange Twist.
Now the question is, would I trust Cold Press Indonesia for my upcoming juice detox? 100% yes.

Fake brain helps investigate age's intelligence decline
DYING cells may play only a small role in the brain decline that accompanies ageing. That is the suggestion from the first artificial brain that can solve intelligence tests almost as well as university students can. The model hints at how our behaviour is affected by age, and might even offer a way of testing drugs that compensate for cognitive decline.
Our ability to think through novel problems – known as "fluid intelligence" – declines with age. But the reasons for this aren't clear, because many features of the brain change as we age: neurons die; connections become sparser between regions of the brain and between individual cells; and our mental representation of different concepts becomes less distinct.
To try to disentangle these features, Chris Eliasmith at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, and his student Daniel Rasmussen used software to simulate the behaviour of 35,000 brain cells wired together in a biologically realistic pattern.
Just like a real brain, their model encoded information as patterns of electrical activity. They set up the system to solve an intelligence test known as Raven's progressive matrices, which involves predicting which abstract symbol comes next in a sequence (see diagram). The model does this by searching for patterns in the input sequence and then using those to generate a prediction for the missing item.
"We don't tell it what patterns are there or what patterns it's looking for," says Eliasmith. Nevertheless, the model got the correct answer on an average of 18.4 of the 36 problems on the advanced version of the test. The average university undergraduate gets about 22 correct. Even when the model got one wrong, it made the same kinds of reasoning errors as humans.
Having established that the model "thinks" similarly to humans, the researchers mimicked the effect of brain cell death during ageing by randomly deleting up to 20 per cent of the cells. It made little difference. People typically lose about 10 per cent of their brain cells over the course of their lives, and adults over 60 fail about eight more questions on Raven's matrices than when they were in their 20s. Even models missing 20 per cent of cells failed only one or two more questions, on average (Intelligence, doi.org/p9j). This suggests that other changes in the brain must be important in causing the decline in thinking power, says Eliasmith.
Deleting up to 20 per cent of the artificial brain cells made little difference to test scores
The team will now test other aspects of the ageing brain. Such a system might be useful for testing the effect of drugs on brain function, says Julia Spaniol, a psychologist at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada.

HS2 took a major step forward on 23 February 2017 as Britain's new railway successfully completed over three years of Parliamentary scrutiny to receive Royal Assent.
Construction will now begin on schedule in the spring. The launch of schemes totalling £70m for communities along the route between Birmingham and London also took place on 23 February.
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said: "Getting the go-ahead to start building HS2 is a massive boost to the UK's future economic prosperity and a further clear signal that Britain is open for business.
"HS2 will be the world's most advanced passenger railway and the backbone of our rail network. Royal Assent is a major step towards significantly increasing capacity on our congested railways for both passengers and freight; improving connections between the biggest cities and regions; generating jobs, skills and economic growth and helping build an economy that works for all."
"By investing in infrastructure the government is seizing the opportunity provided by leaving the EU to build a more global Britain. We will now press ahead with constructing the railway while continuing to ensure affected communities get appropriate support and are treated with fairness, compassion and respect."
HS2 will create around 25,000 jobs during construction as well as 2,000 apprenticeships. It will also support growth in the wider economy, worth an additional 100,000 jobs.
From 2026 tens of thousands of passengers will be using high speed trains every day between London and Birmingham; services will travel onwards to places like Manchester, Glasgow, Liverpool, Preston and Wigan.
From 2033, the high speed network will go into the centres of Manchester and Leeds and services will go onwards to places such as Darlington, Newcastle and Edinburgh.
David Higgins, Chairman of HS2 comments: "Achieving Royal Assent for Phase One of HS2 between Birmingham and London with such significant parliamentary support, is a monumental step in transforming rail travel in Britain. We have a long journey ahead of us to build the railway and secure permission for Phase Two to make sure that the full benefits of HS2 are realised. This journey will see businesses right along the route benefit from greater access to the skills, markets and professional services they need to succeed in today's global market. It will directly create some 25,000 jobs as well as forcing the pace of innovation in the construction industry.
"Throughout this process HS2 remains committed to mitigating the environmental impacts whilst continuing to engage with each individual community which is making sacrifices to enable a 21st century railway network to be built in Britain."
