The aim of the system:
In fish farms, as in other facilities for raising animals, there is a daily routine of feeding the fish in ponds and containers. The work is demanding in terms of complexity and manpower requirements. There is often a need to distribute different quantities and types of feed to the different pools depending on the type of fish, their age, weight and number of fish in each pond. The quantity and composition may change from time to time. In order to provide fish with optimum growing conditions, it is necessary to distribute the food throughout the day at regular intervals. Calculating these parameters requires work and accuracy in the feed's delivery. Crystal Vision's robotic feeder replaces hand feeding and allows the grower to determine, in advance, the amount, number of feedings during the day and the type of feed provided to each tank according to the demands of the growth cycle. The system expedites maintaining tank hygiene, health and aids in developing an optimal growth chart. The robot can serve as a platform for additional puposes such as distributing artemia, additives or medications. Future Versions will include an additional digital imaging system which will document the growth and progress of the school in each pool. The system maintains a record of the amount of food given to each pool and, in so doing, affords the grower a tool to use in analyzing and improving production and savings in valuable food and manpower.
Description of the system and its parts:
- Fish Feeder Robot is an integrated system including a central computer and a robot for automatic feeding. The robot travels along its own independent track. Each robot has a fully automatic battery charging station and a food refilling station, from which it begins its feeding route.
- The robot has its own self-contained power source. It feeds the individual fish tanks according to a predetermined program set by the grower. A rail runs above the tanks and a passive transmitter (RFID) over each tank relays the address of that specific tank. According to the location, the robot "knows" what the feeding program is for that particular tank.
- The robot distributes the feed to the tanks in predetermined portions, according to the desired type of food. Each robot comes with three separate feed containers and it is possible to add more.
- At the end of a feeding cycle, the robot comes to rest at the charging station and waits for the next feeding cycle.
- The robot's feeding containers may be filled once a day or automatically using an auger.
- The system calibrates the specific weight of each type of feed in order to achieve a highly accurate portion.
- The feeding regimen is managed by a unique program and designated operating screens offering the operator complete control of food quantities and feed times. The interface is user friendly and comfortable to operate. The program stores information and produces graphic reports as needed.
The system includes:
- A central computer capable of wireless communication with several robots. Each robot includes a controller, feed containers, a propulsion system, RFID receiver, rechargeable batteries, a charging circuit and a wireless transmitter for communicating with the central computer.
- A suspended rail for the robot, the path of which can be varied to pass over the pools.
- A battery recharging station.
- A warning system which sends text messages in the event of a fault.
- Service and the guarantee of Crystal Vision.

But we have not been content to just bring you the classics. We have an amazing selection of colors in fact. Our fox fur offerings can be found in colors ranging from subtle hues like buff and camel through amazingly vibrant colors such as red and mango yellow.

For a truly amazing look for sports fans and patriots our fox fur headbands are actually wearable as scarves, and if you get a pair of cuffs to go along with them, you can easily represent your favorite country or team while looking great and keeping warm. Match a blue headband with a red collar and white cuffs to show off your pride in your country (which could of course be Great Britain, France, America, or a number of others) or you can swap out the red collar for an orange one if you're representing a certain hockey team from the middle of Canada.

As a performer, drag queen Tynomi Banks has to be ready for anything at a moment's notice– so she doesn't just carry a bag, she brings with her a small luggage packed with all the must-have's of a queen. And with Pride events happening across the city all month long, her bag is full of glitter, fun accessories, extra pantyhose, and more for the festivities!
As for what we should have in our bags for Pride, Tynomi says dry shampoo and sunscreen are a must: "If you're going to the parade it's HOT—keep your hair looking fresh with a good dry shampoo [like] Sexy Hair. Also, make sure you've got sunscreen in your bag. I like Goddess Garden, it's natural, non-greasy, and smells like heaven."
We recently had the chance to catch up with Tynomi and ask her the age-old question… "What's inside your bag?" Scroll through some the ~essentials~ in her bag for Pride below.

WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) -- Former FBI Director James Comey revealed Thursday how details of his one-on-one meetings with President Donald Trump were leaked to the media.
Days after Trump fired him, the president tweeted that Comey "better hope there are no tapes" of their conversations. Testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee, Comey said he decided after that to get his own version of events out into "the public square."
He then told a friend who is a law professor at Columbia University to share his memo about his conversation with Trump with a reporter. That information was reported soon afterward in the New York Times.
The professor, Daniel Richman, confirmed to CNN that he gave the information to the Times.
Comey said he hoped the leak would spur the appointment of a special counsel in the investigation, which did eventually happen.
Asked why he chose to release the information through a friend instead of doing it himself, he responded, "The media was camping at the end of my drivewayI worried it would be like feeding the seagulls at the beach."
Comey explained that the memos were his personal recollections, they were not classified, and he felt he had a right to share them.
"Is this a joke," Donald Trump Jr. tweeted in response.
Earlier in his testimony, Comey explained that he maintained memos on his interactions with the president because he feared Trump would lie about them.
Comey told senators he later turned all of his copies of the memos over to the special counsel, Bob Mueller.

Hello everyone! I've been enjoying the summer break - a break from studying and working for school, and actually getting to experiment with other things, such as my blog, traveling, make-up, etc... .
MAC has been and will always be one of my favouite make-up brands. I'm especially crazy about their lipsticks and eyeshadows. I have a nice collection of eyeshadows already, but there's always room for more.
I always use tan or brown shades from budget brands, because blending colours can be found anywhere and really don't have to be that expensive. It's the special, eye popping shades that I like to get from MAC.
I recently got two new shades, both purple shades, called "Trax" and "Beauty marked". I've had my eye on them for over a year now and decided to just do it.
I had a bit of a hard time taking pictures of these eyeshadows because they look different from every single angle.
"Trax", the lighter purple is just a really pretty colour, whereas "Beautymarked" is a dark eyeshadow with a twist; there are pinik and purple glitters in it. It's so beautiful!
|With flash
|Without flash
I created a smokey eye with these two eyeshadows and "Espresso", which I used as my blending/crease colour. I applied "Trax" all over my eyelid and the darkest colour "Beautymarked" on the upper and lower lashline.
I didn't use liquid eyeliner for once, instead, I applied kohl eyeliner on my waterline.
What do you think?

As many of you are well aware, brush fire season is upon us. It's that time of the year where even a small spark can cause extreme havoc for firefighters. There have been several large-scale fires throughout the state already. Make no mistake; even cities like Springfield and Holyoke, to smaller communities like Southampton and South Hadley, all have the potential for large brush fires. The recent dry weather, combined with low humidity levels, and gusty winds, have caused fire departments to issue warnings about the dangers of open burning.
Approximately 26 acres just burned on Holyoke's Mt Tom, and both Southampton and Wilbraham had fires that actually threatened homes in their area. Other communities have also had their share of stubborn brush fires too. This type of fire puts a great strain on local firefighting resources. Communities are forced to call-in mutual aid from other areas to assist, leaving our cities and town vulnerable.
Brush fires can happen most anywhere and some can be in pretty nasty, very hilly, rocky, slippery, and steep terrain. Some or these areas have trees that have been burnt previously, having the potential to fall and severely injure or kill firefighters. Other first responder injuries can include slips and falls, twisted ankles, heat exhaustion, and even heart attacks. We need to stay vigilant with regards to safety.
The old adage of "April showers bring May flowers" has not come to fruition. We are in need of a few good days of soaking rain to mitigate the potential threat. If we can't control the weather (though I think some chiefs have tried their own version of the rain dance) how then do we prevent brush fires from happening?
Here are a few recommendations:
Remember what Smokey Bear said, "Only you can prevent forest fires" he's been right since 1944! Follow these safety tips and do your best to protect not only your firefighters, but also your valuable natural resources.
Stay safe.

For all the ballyhoo around VH1 Classic rebranding itself as MTV Classic, the channel's programming still doesn't include very much music. In fact, most of the programming seems to date back only to the '90s, after the network began transitioning from actual music television to youth-culture oriented reality programming. If your nostalgic tastes run towards Pimp My Ride, The Real World, and Cribs, well, great, hunker down and binge. But if your trip is musical discovery, may I point you in the direction of the new streaming channel launched this year—to much less fanfare—by Night Flight?
If the name doesn't ring a bell, you missed something amazing. From 1981-88, during the weekend's wee hours, the USA cable network aired Night Flight, a four hour block of weirdo-culture programming that often defied easy categorization. Random bumps were culled from the most shocking scenes from John Waters films and strange old out-of-copyright cartoons, music from the backroads of post-punk subcultures was given a fair hearing—including but not limited to the late Peter Ivers' incredible New Wave Theatre, profiles of outré performers were produced, and cult movies were aired in their entirety, including the punk documentary Another State of Mind (Who would have guessed back then that not only would Social Distortion be a band forever, but that they'd become SO HORRIBLE?), the not-to-be-missed proto-Riot Grrrl satire/drama Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains, and The Clash's classic Rude Boy. For that era's weird kids who lived in flyover country, without access to the coasts' record stores, clubs, and cinematheques, that basic cable freakshow was manna from heaven.
In recent years, Night Flight's creator Stuart Shapiro resurrected the show's name and logo as a web site that shows a similar—if perhaps a tad less edgy as seen several decades later—curatorial point of view, and they've launched Night Flight Plus, a subscription service for Roku devices and web browsers. The subscription premium is quite cheap—$2.99 a month or $29.99 a year, for which you get a wealth of goodies—concert films, music documentaries, tons of "B" horror and other offbeat films, plenty of Night Flight's original programming, and, to my delight, The Best of New Wave Theatre, a rare VHS compilation released by Rhino back in 1991, which has never, to my knowledge, legitimately been released on DVD or Blu-Ray.
Here's a couple of clips of intact segments from the show, to give a sense of Night Flight's musical sensibility and its ability to devolve into utter randomness, and both clips leave the commercials in place, which kind of cracked me up. I've followed those with an excellent episode of New Wave Theatre.
Previously on Dangerous Minds:
'Do you remember 'Night Flight'?'
'The Filthiest Person Alive': Divine profiled on 'Night Flight,' 1986
'We use the music as an exorcism': Cabaret Voltaire takes over 'Night Flight,' 1985

Question of the Week: On a typical day, how many products do you use on your brows?
I have sparse, very light brows and would love to be able to get microblading to fix my tails. Since that isn't in the cards for me at the moment, Fiona Stiles Brow Sculpting Wax ($13) has been my go-to for about three months. While Stiles only has one color, the harder the pressure when applied, the deeper the color appears. It doesn't move, come off with sweat and looks totally natural. It fills in gaps, keeps unruly hairs in control and stays put. I haven't found a huge amount in that line that I really love, but the brow wax is worth every penny. (Plus, it will last you more than a year, easily.) How many brow products do you use?
I just posted about this the other day, but in case you missed it, you've got to check out this Chocolate Truffle Exfoliator from Jan Marini. It's almost too chocolate-y to use. Seriously, I'm not sure you can handle just how chocolatey delicious this smells. If you have a chocolate lover on your holiday list, grab these up before they are gone for the season.
Now on to the best of beauty news and reviews from the Lipstick League!

I have set up a small Christmas tree in my kitchen dining room for the last few years. Rather than save the Christmas decor for only the more formal rooms in the house, I can enjoy the holiday lights while I am whipping up a batch of holiday cookies or a quick meal.
I have a larger tree in the family room, but that is not visible while I'm unloading the dishwasher or doing other glamorous chores that must be done every day. It's a small way of keeping the holiday spirit in view during the busiest days of the year.
This tree is just about ten years old, but it has a vintage vibe to it, especially after I've added some tiny vintage Christmas ornaments, glass bead garland and a sweet little frosted tree topper. Under the tree I've created yet another little glitter {Putz} house village. I've kept the color scheme red, white and pink this year. That way, when the tree is still up in mid-January, I can say it's a Valentine-themed tree and I am actually way ahead in decorating for the next holiday {lol}.
Seriously, this little tree village is the last decoration to come down in my house. Particularly when the cold dark days of winter settle in and most of the decorations have been packed away, this little tree brings a little light to the kitchen. The season passes so quickly. Shouldn't the holiday sparkle continue just a little bit longer?

Company Demonstrates Real-World OTT Video Implementation During Conference and Exhibition; Presents at Exclusive ConneXxion Forum
Company Demonstrates Real-World OTT Video Implementation During Conference and Exhibition; Presents at Exclusive ConneXxion Forum
SINGAPORE--(Marketwire - Jun 15, 2012) - CommunicAsia -- Verimatrix, the specialist in securing and enhancing revenue for multi-screen digital TV services around the globe, will showcase real-world multi-network security strategies and solutions for pay-TV operators that want to extend their reach using hybrid networks and over-the-top (OTT) video technologies at CommunicAsia, 19-22 June, at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, booth #1M2-01.
"As the market continues to mature, we see clear momentum emerging for multi-network, multi-screen video services that are integrated into an existing pay-TV infrastructure and operated as an extension of traditional services," said Steve Oetegenn, chief sales and marketing officer, Verimatrix. "We are delighted to have such a prominent presence at these co-located shows to share our insights on how our advanced multi-network security architectures and ecosystem partnerships are building the new generation of multi-network video delivery systems in the Asia Pacific region."
Verimatrix will be demonstrating its unique multi-network, multi-screen revenue security solutions based on the third generation Verimatrix Video Content Authority System (VCAS™) 3 architecture:
Enhanced HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) and Smooth Streaming security - Through its VCAS™ for Internet TV and MultiRights™ solutions, Verimatrix will show how it secures delivery of premium OTT services to all types of devices from a single security authority, including Apple and Android phones and tablets, PCs/Macs and smart TVs, along with PlayReady-enabled PCs and Windows Phones.
Verimatrix will also demonstrate the integration of VCAS for Internet TV with NXP Software's LifeVibes QuickPlayer to enable the rapid deployment of video services with living-room quality audio and video across Android smartphones and tablets.
Tightly integrated IP and DVB security - Pioneered and perfected by Verimatrix, its DVB one-way and DVB hybrid solutions secure live and on-demand video delivered via HLS to hybrid DVB-IP set-top boxes.
Cross-DRM super domain management - To manage multiple native DRM schemes, Verimatrix will highlight how it provides entitlements to subscriber devices across DVB, IPTV, Internet TV, PlayReady DRM and Marlin DRM networks, featuring a single VCAS head-end.
On 19 June at 2:30 p.m., Oetegenn will present a session on "Next Frontier - Scaling OTT & Multi-screen Video" at the co-located BroadcastAsia 2012 at the Suntec Singapore. During this session, he will explore how traditional operators with existing resources can introduce and scale multi-screen TV services, and share best practices for developing a common head-end and unified network infrastructure to support all devices.
Oetegenn will also deliver a general session on "Revenue Optimization Strategies for OTT Video" during the CommunicAsia on 21 June at 2:40 p.m. During the session, he will share best practices for integrating OTT services with existing digital TV offerings, as well as quality of experience (QoE) advantages of adaptive rate streaming protocols for broad-based OTT services.
In addition, Verimatrix has extended its Multi-Network Solutions in the Real World Forum Series to include Asia Pacific Broadcasting's ConneXxion Forum on 18 June from 9:00 a.m. to noon at Laguna National Golf and Country Club, Singapore. During the session that is focused on addressing the question, "who is my competitor tomorrow," Oetegenn will share his thoughts on the opportunities for operators to transition their networks to stay ahead of consumer demand.
Visit booth #1M2-01 to see demos of how the VCAS™ 3 architecture addresses current and future business and technical challenges.

As a working mom of two young boys, well, I don't EXACTLY get out much. You won't find me travelling to far away and exotic destinations and sipping wine on a veranda.
Except this past weekend I DID get away. On a girlie weekend, no less! I know, right? Small miracle.
My BBF (Best Bloggy Friend, duh!) Mary, from Pajamas and Coffee, and I traveled to the Eastern Shore in Maryland to begin exploring various towns as part of Maryland Life Magazine's Eat. Drink. Buy Art. program.
I'm gonna stop right here for a moment and state the obvious: You already know that I am a over-stressed mom who doesn't get out much. If you read PJ&C then you are probably deducing that the two of us together might be an interesting combination…. and you would be right. We had a BLAST!
We stopped in Snow Hill, MD first and visited with the most wonderful people. Truly they were so welcoming! We began as tourists and honestly ended up more like friends with the shop owners. Take a looky at these photos. (While you are there become a "fan"of Hip As I Wanna Be!) How can you not fall in love with this town? Not to mention the fact that we were given a spur of the moment tour of Mary's favorite house on the Eastern Shore – the Governor's House. (She was in heaven!)
From there we traveled to Berlin, MD and lo and behold discovered a fiddler's convention. A WHAT? Yes, a fiddler's convention. I had no idea either.
But I soon learned that it was a BIG DEAL in Berlin. Being a country music fan from way back when I lived in Nashville, of course I enjoyed the music. Not only that, but during the course of our stay we ended up meeting some stellar folks in that town. I'm not giving away all of our secret adventures (although Mary might) but l will say that because of this convention we ended up with a surrogate husband named Bill. We met him after being asked to photograph him and three of his lady friends lounging in bed together watching the golf channel. (Don't ask.) From there our relationship evolved. 'Nuff said.
I could devote an entire post dedicated to our hotel stay. We spent the night at the Atlantic Hotel. It was beyond lovely. And dinner? Phenomenal. Drinks? Mmmmm…. Truly the most unique place I have ever stayed in my life. I couldn't find one thing I disliked about this hotel. Not that I was trying. Oh, except for a couple of creepy historic pictures running down the hallway. They really might wanna ditch the angry chick with the haunted eyes. And, um, androgynous ringlet kid. The stuff of nightmares, people. Just a thought.
All kidding aside, I was able to relax and really enjoy myself this weekend. That is a rarity for me these days. I think it was a combination of the company – Mary, the lovely towns and their extremely (!) pleasant residents. (Not to mention the shopping!) It was such joy to be able to explore these areas and appreciate their uniqueness.
And as fate would have it, I found a new quote in one of the shops along the way – "The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience." – Eleanor Roosevelt
Just perfect!
And one last picture, especially for Mary. Trust me… some things you just can't explain.

|Invasion of Normandy, 6 and 7 June 1944
LCT(5)-458 transported B Battery of 29th Field Artillery Battalion, CO CAPT Vernon P. Burns, scheduled to land on Tare Green at H+145 (June 6, 1944). However, on the way in she struck a mine. Of the 59 artillerists aboard, 37 were killed and 22 were wounded. The bodies of 27 men were never recovered. Battery B was reconstituted with about thirty reserves who were left in the UK plus replacements, and joined the battalion after the surrender of Cherbourg on June 27. Many sources say there were 39 people killed, but Irving Smolens (still alive), who served with 29th FA, said that the Army records are wrong in this respect."1000 The next LCT's were scheduled for the 13th wave, Flotilla 4. LCT(5)-362 (one of five LCT's) was lost en route to the Uncle Red Beach. The 14th wave on Tare Green Beach, also Flotilla 4, lost LCT-458. At the Uncle Red Sector, three of the LCT's were sunk during the landing, LCT Mark(5)'s LCT-486, LCT-443, and LCT-489. (On the 14th wave, four of the eleven LCT's were lost)."

After several months of waiting, Bentley's, a craft cocktail and crepe shop, is now open on Magnolia. This quaint, family-owned establishment is the perfect addition to Magnolia Avenue and a much-needed crepe restaurant in Fort Worth.
I'm always a fan of breakfast places, and you can enjoy Bentley's breakfast items 7:30-10 a.m. We stopped in for lunch today, and while I'm a sucker for crepes, it was too hard to resist their menu offerings of the craft dogs. Scott tried the Bentley while I ordered the Pestoroni, and it was hard to pick a favorite as both were delicious and unique in their own way. We also tried their buffalo fries, a light and a tasty addition to the meal.
We were greeted by smiling faces and the service was on point. One of the managers walked us through the restaurant and mentioned their future expansion plans. While there's currently limited dining space with stand-up counters, it seems that the small walk-in shop is just the beginning. They plan to open their covered patio soon and add more dining space on the second floor of the building they own next door. He also mentioned they plan to expand their hours and menu in the future.
I have to admit when I heard the combination of crepes and hot dogs, I wasn't so sure. Bentley's definitely did it right though. With the shop now open, I know my sweet and savory teeth will be pleased with their options.

Other Reviews….
Mild reduction doesn't completely hide the otherwise ripe and moderately spiced red and dark berry fruit aromas. There is very good richness to the relatively forward and supple middle weight flavors where the supporting tannins possess good phenolic maturity, which is a good thing because there is quite a contrast between the accessible mid-palate and very firm finish.

|Yellow/Orange light ball with blinking lights over Sauvie Island
I saw a yellow/orange moving star above Sauvie Island in the exact same bit of sky where fireworks were set off a few weeks ago. It was relatively low, just below the clouds, hovering.
It floated and moved around for a few minutes then took off at a decent clip to the NE over the Columbia. It had 3 or 4 blinking lights which blinked different colors without any sort of pattern.
All of this was just before dawn.

From alfredo sauce to pancakes to cheesecake, ricotta and lemon zest are wonderful combinations for both savory and sweet dishes. Ricotta adds a fluffy texture to balance the density of cream cheese, while lemon zest can be a refreshing addition to any creamy desserts.
Enjoy Life's gluten free gingerbread cookies is a great substitute for graham cracker crust. This cheesecake was a huge hit at our board game night!
Inspired by Jenn Segal's Once Upon a Chef
For the crust:
- 1 6-ounce box Enjoy Life gluten free gingerbread cookies, finely crumbled
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 egg
For the filling:
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 32-ounce container (about 4 cups) whole milk ricotta
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Orange liqueur (optional)
Optional toppings:
- Crushed pecan, fudge, caramel, or fresh berries
Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a springform cake pan.
For crust: mix the finely crumbled gingerbread cookies with melted butter, and egg. Spread into the pan, and press firmly to make a crust. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes until the crust is slightly darker. Let it cool.
For filling: mix cream cheese, sugar, salt and ricotta for 3 minutes. Add in eggs one at a time until all mixed, then add vanilla extract, cornstarch, lemon zest and orange liqueur, if using.
Pour the filling into the crust. Bake the cheesecake for about 50 minutes, until the top is lightly golden, and the center is slightly jiggly but not totally liquid. Let it cool for at least 4 hours.
Serve with topping if desired.

Since my Mops girls (a mom's group I'm in) are so sweet, I decided to make them a treat and I gave it to them at our meeting last week. Here they are
I put them in little bags with a treat topper from Love from the Oven
I didn't get a good photo of the bags put together, but if you go to Love from the Oven she has some awesome ideas and photos of bags put together! So go to her sight and in-vision what my treats would look like in the bags. I used the bags "A Valentine Treat For Someone Sweet"! Then tell me what you think...ha!
Anyways, if you want to make some...........
You'll Need:
Heart mold (I actually used a heart ice cube tray)
White chocolate (I use Ghiradelli from Sam's Club....yum, yum)
Sprinkles (do you call them sprinkles or Jimi's or a different name?)
Plastic Sandwich Baggies
1. Put Sprinkles in the bottom of your mold
2. Melt chocolate according to package directions
3. Poor into molds
4. Stick in Refrigerator to harden
5. Pop out of molds
6. Put the chocolates into plastic sandwich baggies
7. Cut out Printable and Fold
8. Put over Sandwich bag and staple
9. Give them to friends and family!
I hope you are enjoying this wonderful time of year!
Happy Crafting!

Dedicated to the living of an authentic faith that transforms people and trascends barriers in a divided world! Comments on the Christian Life from Sam Jackson, church-planting pastor of Hope Community Church in Racine, WI

Seeking the Kingdom First
Some love stories can't wait until Valentine's day! I especially love to share love stories about missionaries - Wonderful people who as a vocation, give selflessly of themselves for years on end, with little or no regard for acclaim, fame, recognition or even personal benefit. The Scripture says that he who finds a wife, finds a good thing and pleases the Lord. Over the last week, I had the pleasure of getting to know some new friends who reminded me of the true beauty of finding a good thing that literally is a blessing for the Kingdom of God and the work He calls His people to do.
Some missionaries choose to remain unmarried because of the difficulties of their assignments or the demands of their work. Others simply find themselves single after years of service due to an intense focus on the mission itself which often seems to preclude forming the type of relationships that might lead one to get married. Whatever the cause or motivation, and whether singleness is chosen or simply their appointed plight, there a numerous missionaries who fore go the benefits of marriage for the sake of the furtherance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I have found most of these confirmed "bachelors and bachelorettes 'til the Rapture" full of joy and peace in their singleness not thinking themselves in a particularly difficult place or situation of service as single missionaries. It therefore generally comes as a great surprise to them when these dedicated people who have confirmed themselves in singleness, find themselves "head over heels" in love with another dedicated servant of the Lord who reciprocates their affection and reflects their dedication to a lifetime of service for the Kingdom of God.
My new friends Rob and Dee had both spent years of missionary service in their initial assignments - well over 20 years of service each - confident of the fact that they possessed the gift of singleness, and the Lord could use them better without the blessing of a spouse. Because of their singleness, they were able to throw themselves tirelessly into the work, pouring their lives into the lives of others and gaining a deep satisfaction that whatever difficulties or loneliness they might have experienced there could be no comparison to the benefits they were able to gain in the freedom of their singleness. They met each other after being led to change from their original places of service to an even more challenging missionary assignment. For a few years - yes years - they served together with no thought of anything beyond being coworkers for the Lord, putting their all into seeing people come to faith in Christ and helping new Christians to grow in faith and service. it wasn't until an intense time of ministry together, then some time apart, that they realized the flames of enthusiasm that burned deep within their hearts were not only a shared passion for the Gospel, but a deep and pure love for each other. By the time this revelation had arrived, Rob was approaching 50 and though Dee was a bit younger than Rob she was also a little older than she had been when she began her journey of missionary service. I won't get into the details of their romance, but let me just say, their story is one for the ages, involving an unique and tear-jerking proposal, lots of helpful and excited friends and most of all a confirmation that those who wait on the Lord experience joy and satisfaction that simply eludes those who refuse to wait and try to follow their appetites rather than God's will!
It's all beautifully summarized in Rob's words to Dee, which I will paraphrase, " I have spent my life seeking to collect crowns of service to lay at the feet of Jesus. I am now asking you to allow me to join you and walk at your side to help you in collecting crowns of service for you to lay at Jesus feet." His words caused me to think of a few other special couples who have exemplified this kind of love for the Lord in their marriages as Missionaries: Ruddy and Cristina, Phil and Karen, Craig and Terry, Sid and Marilyn - all couples whose unions not only generated sparks of romance, but ignited great works of faith that have in turn brought countless lives from darkness to light to the glory of God. In seeking the Kingdom of God first, they have had so much added to themselves that it has spilled over to benefit others for the Kingdom of God.
The next time you come into contact with a missionary couple in particular, remember that you are not just seeing the result of a typical love story, but a mighty and holy union that can teach us all just how much we have to gain by waiting patiently for the Lord and putting His Kingdom and the needs of others before our own. Remember, it's never too late for God to surprise us with something special if we're willing to wait on Him! Until next time,

5 Things to Watch for During Utah Jazz's Final GamesMarch 11, 2014
5 Things to Watch for During Utah Jazz's Final Games
Because Utah Jazz fans grew accustomed to cheering on winning teams for decades, the struggles of the last few years haven't been easy to accept.
From 1982 to 2010, the Jazz made the playoffs 24 out of a possible 27 times under the direction of Frank Layden and Jerry Sloan.
In the last 3.5 years with coach Tyrone Corbin, the team has made the postseason just once. The Jazz were knocked out in the first round following the lockout-shortened 2011-12 campaign.
This season, they've been at or around dead last in the Western Conference since opening night.
Finding bright spots hasn't been impossible though, thanks to the collection of talented young players that management has found in three of the last four drafts.
Gordon Hayward, Derrick Favors, Alec Burks, Enes Kanter, Trey Burke and Rudy Gobert have done plenty to put smiles on fans' faces, while the losses pile up.
Because of them, the future looks bright. Clues on just how bright should be on display between now and the end of the season.
Trey Burke's Shooting Percentages
Burke's rookie season has led to some excitement for Jazz fans for the way he takes care of the ball, his penchant for hitting shots in crunch time and his leadership ability.
On the other side of the spectrum, his inconsistency (particularly as a shooter) has served to thoroughly temper the excitement.
His shooting percentages—both basic and advanced—are downright awful:
|Trey Burke
|League Average
The fact that he's second on the Jazz in field-goal attempts per game at 12.5 is part of the problem. That's over two more shots than assist opportunities per game.
NBA.com defines assist opportunities as: "Passes by a player to a teammate in which the teammate attempts a shot, and if made, would be an assist. At 10.3 per game, Burke is second to Hayward in assist opportunities per game.
He tries to be a scorer more than a facilitator, but he doesn't have the physical tools to do so (at least not yet).
Due to his size (6'1" with his shoes on) and lack of top-notch explosiveness, Burke often forces bad shots. In a lot of those situations, he should be passing.
He could learn a thing or two from another physically challenged young point guard about deciding between scoring and distributing:
|AST Opportunities/gm
|Trey Burke
|Kendall Marshall
Burke's numbers are obviously influenced by playing with a point forward in Hayward, but the fact remains that he looks to score more than set up his teammates.
It may be unrealistic to expect him to have twice as many assist opportunities as shots like Marshall, but if Burke were to mix in even two or three more attempts to set others up, he'd be a more difficult defensive assignment.
If opposing defenders play him more for the pass, he might find better scoring opportunities. Honoring the passing lanes forces a defender to leave a bit more space.
So even if Burke's total shots went down slightly, the number of good looks would go up.
And more open shots should lead to better shooting percentages. If those start to trend upward as the season winds down, we'll have a lot less reason to be concerned about the rookie's future.
Enes Kanter's Defense
A debate has been raging over Enes Kanter all season long.
The 21-year-old big man has shown great scoring ability, but his struggles on the defensive end have kept him on the bench more than fans anticipated.
Pretty much every blogger has taken a side in the debate, but none is as loud as SLC Dunk's Mychal Lowman...
Jazz's most consistent and reliable scorers are Alec Burks and Enes Kanter. The jokes just aren't fun anymore. Why aren't they starting?— Mychal Lowman (@My_Lo) February 23, 2014
...and Purple and Blues' Clint Peterson:
Sittin here with @Bluemoon_76, we're thinkin Enes Kanter would make a better net defender in MLS than the NBA.— Clint Peterson (@Clintonite33) March 9, 2014
The argument may be put to rest soon, as Kanter's defense has made some strides lately. Following Utah's recent three-point loss to the Indiana Pacers, The Salt Lake Tribune's Aaron Falk reported that Corbin said, "He was really paying attention to details and I thought he got a lot better tonight."
Veteran forward Marvin Williams added: "He did a great job. Enes is a big physical guy. Obviously with West and Hibbert out there, that matchup is not really the best for myself and Jeremy [Evans]. Enes was great. He was locked in from the start of shootaround today and it showed."
More "locked in" defensive efforts from Kanter need to become the norm rather than the exception.
If he and Favors can learn to coexist on both ends of the floor, the Jazz could have a huge frontcourt advantage against most opponents in the years to come.
Gordon Hayward's Free-Agency Stock
A tiny part of me wants Hayward to keep struggling as a shooter for the rest of this season. That sounds devious and childish, but my heart is in the right place.
Anything to increase Utah's chances of re-signing Hayward to a multi-year extension, right?
He can be an integral part of the team's future, regardless of who is picked up in the 2014 draft. As one of the league's only true point forwards, he can make all the young players around him better.
His ability to create for others and distribute the ball is unique. Among players 6'8" or taller, Hayward is fourth in assists at 5.1 per game.
And he's doing that while playing on a team that struggles to score, as Utah is 23rd in offensive rating.
If his market value stays at a level that Utah is willing to match in restricted free agency, he should be able to spend more time on the floor with great scorers like Burks, Kanter and potentially someone from this upcoming draft class.
In that situation, his assist numbers could climb even higher.
Alec Burks
You'll notice the title of this slide is a little different than the previous three.
It's tough to focus on one thing that you should watch for with Burks. He's the most exciting player on the team, so his name alone should suffice for this slide.
But what is so exciting about him?
For one, he has an unrelenting desire and almost unmatched ability to get to the rim. In a separate story by Falk, the Jazz beat writer eloquently broke down Burks' talents as a slasher:
When it comes to the art of racing toward the basket, colliding with much-larger human beings, and still finding a way to contort your body while somehow spinning a basketball in such a manner that it will find its way into a hoop, Burks says, none in the NBA are better...
...In his three seasons in the NBA, moxie has never been Burks' problem — and it shows in his fearless drives to the hoop and his jaw-dropping finishes.
It's a skill set that's been on display throughout the year, although never more consistently than of late. On a Jazz team struggling to find its way through the final stretch of a rebuilding year, Burks has provided the highlight reel.
In combination with that, he has impressive athleticism, which can be seen in lightning fast "Eurosteps" during games or self-alley-oop, between-the-legs dunks in practice.
Add in a dash of defense (Burks holds opposing point guards to a player efficiency rating of 13.3 and opposing shooting guards to 14.3), and you can see why he's been Utah's most exciting player to watch this season.
And with the playoffs out of reach and the season winding down, we should be seeing more of this star-in-the-making down the stretch.
Lottery Odds
I had been vehemently opposed to blatant tanking throughout the first couple of months of the season. Like I said, Jazz fans aren't used to losing, and the 1-14 start was painful to watch.
But I'll be honest; at this point, the wins hurt me even more.
Some of those potential superstars at the top of the 2014 draft would be perfect fits for the Jazz.
Just imagine Jabari Parker occupying the stretch 4 role that Marvin Williams is holding down right now. Think about Dante Exum running pick-and-rolls with Kanter and Favors.
Or how about Andrew Wiggins catching lead passes from Hayward on the break?
Those three, in addition to Joel Embiid, are possible franchise players. How sad would it be to end up just outside the top five picks and miss out on those guys?
Utah has the seventh-worst record in the NBA, which gives it the seventh-best shot at winning the draft lottery.
The Jazz are in the middle of a group of seven teams that are within 2.5 games of one another. A few too many wins down the stretch could slide Utah all the way out of the top 10.
But with just a few more losses than the others, the Jazz could land one of those potential cornerstones.

We've all heard it, especially when we were new moms: "It gets easier." And while I certainly prefer this sentiment to its counterpart, "Just wait …," I had to let it go. Because holding on to the dream of a magical time when parenthood felt like a walk in the park was holding me back from enjoying my parenthood reality—which is far from easy.
I've realized after seven years as a mother that it never really gets easier for very long. Parenthood, much like life in general, moves in cycles. Changes in development, school and even the weather, all play a role in influencing the relative ease with which one can parent.
RELATED: 5 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me About Postpartum Life
Generally the hard stuff of the past is replaced by new and different challenges. Your first-grader doesn't wake you several times a night, but you might find yourself up at three in the morning worrying about their progress at school. When you're focused on the idea that parenting is supposed to get easier, a new difficulty can feel like a setback, or worse still, a failure.
If you've been assured that "It gets easier" and it never really seems to, it's hard not to assume that it's because you're doing something wrong. Everyone is expected to struggle as a new parent, but once you've been at it awhile that allowance seems to fall away. I think we all continue to grapple as parents, but the challenges become more personal and more difficult to talk about. Everyone can relate to the rough days with a teething baby but the emotional meltdowns of a five-year-old are less universal.
This isn't to say there aren't plenty of times when things really are easier. The stars align, and for however brief the moment, your children are relatively easy to parent. The trouble is, if you're expecting parenthood to simply continue to down this path you might not fully enjoy those times when you've been given a break. You may be holding your breath, wondering if this is really it, if it's really going to stay this way. Or you might be too stressed about the prospect that if things turn challenging again, you'll have to start all over on your quest for the easy-parenting promised land.
When you stop expecting the easy times, you can start enjoying them.
When you stop expecting the easy times, you can start enjoying them. Each afternoon spent playing and getting along becomes a gift. Each uneventful night of sleep, becomes a dream come true. You can have a great morning where everything goes swimmingly and a beast of an afternoon where everyone screams at each other, and it can all just be OK. The rough afternoon doesn't take away from the lovely morning and the easy morning doesn't make the hard afternoon any worse.
RELATED: All the Things I Never Knew Before You
When I realized that parenthood isn't a steady train ever chugging in the direction of "easy," but instead, a wild roller-coaster with euphoric twists and gut-wrenching turns, I learned to enjoy the ride. I now see the struggles for what they are— not as disheartening setbacks, but as necessary developments. And I embrace the easy times, not in spite of the knowledge that they are fleeting, but because of it.
Parenthood doesn't get easier, but you do get better at it. For me that means embracing the challenges, reveling in the victories, and always expecting the unexpected.

Prompt payment for pulpit supply is always appreciated. Please pay on the day of the service. Include remuneration and mileage reimbursement.
Minimum Remuneration
- $100 for single morning, vesper, evening or midweek worship service
- $50 for each additional worship service, (yoked churches should divide total evenly)
- $50 for moderating any session meeting
- $50 or moderating any congregational meeting
The amount listed is the minimum required remuneration. Where more than the Presbytery minimum terms of call is paid to the pastor, the amount paid for pulpit supply should be adjusted accordingly.
Payment to pulpit supplies who travel more than 10 miles round-trip must include mileage reimbursement at the maximum rate allowed by the Internal Revenue Service. As of January 1, 2018, the rate is $0.545 per mile.
The Committee on Ministry recognizes that when worship services are canceled on fairly short notice, those in pulpit supply positions may already have expended considerable time in sermon preparation. It is suggested that congregations be aware of the work already accomplished in these cases and be prepared to offer compensation. The COM further suggests that at least 50% of the normal payment be offered. No travel costs would be incurred.

"Mother" Maybelle Carter (born Maybelle Addington; May 10, 1909 - October 23, 1978) was an American country musician.[1] She is best known as a member of the historic Carter Family act in the 1920s and 1930s and also as a member of Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters.[2]
Maybelle Carter was born Maybelle Addington on May 10, 1909, in Nickelsville, Virginia. She was the daughter of Margaret Elizabeth (ne;e Kilgore; 1879 - 1960) and Hugh Jackson Addington (1877 - 1929). According to family lore, the Addington family of Virginia is descended from former British prime minister Henry Addington, 1st Viscount Sidmouth.[3]
On March 13, 1926, Maybelle married Ezra Carter. They had three daughters, Helen, Valerie June (better known in later life as June Carter Cash), and Anita.[2]
She was a member of the original Carter Family, which was formed in 1927 by her brother-in-law, A. P. Carter, who was married to her cousin, Sara, also a part of the trio. The Carter Family was one of the first commercial rural country music groups. Maybelle, who played autoharp and banjo as well as being the group's guitarist, created a unique sound for the group with her innovative 'scratch' style of guitar playing, where she used her thumb to play melody on the bass and middle strings, and her index finger to fill out the rhythm.[2] Although Maybelle herself had first picked up this technique from the guitarist Lesley Riddle,[4][5][6] it became widely known as Carter Family picking, an indication of the group's pivotal role in popularizing the style.
Perhaps the most remarkable of Maybelle's many talents was her skill as a guitarist. She revolutionized the instrument's role by developing a style in which she played melody lines on the bass strings with her thumb while rhythmically strumming with her fingers. Her innovative technique, to this day known as the Carter Scratch, influenced the guitar's shift from rhythm to lead instrument.-- Holly George-Warren[7]
She was widely respected and loved by the Grand Ole Opry community of the early 1950s, and was popularly known as "Mother Maybelle" and a matriarchal figure in country music circles although only in her forties at the time. Maybelle and her daughters toured during the 1950s and 1960s as "Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters" but after the death of A. P. Carter in 1960 the group revived the name "The Carter Family", frequently touring with Johnny Cash (her son-in-law from 1968 on); the group were regular performers on Cash's weekly network variety show from 1969-71. Maybelle briefly reunited with former Carter Family member, Sara Carter, during the 1960s folk music craze, with Sara singing lead and Maybelle providing harmony as before.
Maybelle Carter made occasional solo recordings during the 1960s and 1970s, usually full-length albums. Her final such work, a two-record set released on Columbia Records, placed on Billboard's best-selling country albums chart in 1973 when she was 64. Maybelle was also featured on The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's 1972 recording Will the Circle Be Unbroken.
Maybelle Carter died in 1978 after a few years of poor health, and was interred next to her husband, Ezra, in Hendersonville Memory Gardens, Hendersonville, Tennessee. All three of their daughters, "The Carter Sisters" - Helen, June, and Anita - are buried nearby in the same cemetery.[8]
Maybelle Carter was inducted as part of The Carter Family in the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1970.[9]
In 1993, her image appeared on a U.S. postage stamp honoring the Carter Family. In 2001 she was initiated into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Honor. She would rank No. 8 in CMT's 40 Greatest Women of Country Music in 2002. In 2005, she was portrayed by Sandra Ellis Lafferty in the Johnny Cash biographical film Walk the Line.
She was the subject of her granddaughter Carlene Carter's 1990 song "Me and the Wildwood Rose".
Her death was the subject of Johnny Cash's song "Tears in the Holston River".
In 2010, Lipscomb University in Nashville named the stage in Collins Alumni Auditorium after her.
The A. P. and Sara Carter House, A. P. Carter Homeplace, A. P. Carter Store, Maybelle and Ezra Carter House, and Mt. Vernon Methodist Church are listed on the National Register of Historic Places as components of the Carter Family Thematic Resource.[10][11]
In 2007 Carter was honored as one of the Library of Virginia's "Virginia Women in History" because of her musical career.[12]

I'll play a little bit of a tune here [in] the style that I learned from a colored man that used to come to our house and play guitar, and he played with his finger and his thumb.... His name was [L]esley Riddles.
[W]hen Seeger was recording Lesley, he could see and hear the similarities between Lesley's picking style and that of Maybelle Carter so he asked him if he ever gave her lessons. Lesley replied, 'No, I didn't have to. She would just watch and learn. She was that good.'
Leslie Riddle, an African American guitar player, ... taught Maybelle Carter how to play melody and pick rhythm on the guitar at the same time--a style for which she became famous.
