KINGMAN - When the Hualapai Unit at Arizona State Prison-Kingman reopens next month for the first time since riotous inmates destroyed four of five housing pods in July, the facility won't be home to general population prisoners, but to sex offenders.
Arizona Department of Corrections spokesman Bill Lamoreaux confirmed the change in an email Monday.
Lamoreaux said the same inmate criteria put in place following a deadly escape in 2010 are in place.
That includes:
• No inmates serving life sentences (including those serving 25 to life);James Black, a vice president with the GEO Group, a private prison operator that took over from prior operator Management and Training Corp. on Dec. 1, asked for time to consult with the DOC before commenting, as he isn't certain how much detail the DOC wants made public.
• No convicted murderers or attempted murderers (including current and prior convictions);
• No inmates with an escape history;
• No inmates with more than 20 years left to serve.
Statistics on how many sex offenders are among the more than 43,000 people in prison in the state are difficult to find.
The federal Bureau of Prisons reports more than 14,000 of its roughly 200,000 inmates are incarcerated for sex offenses, more than 7 percent. Based on Arizona's prison population - and assuming the same ratio of sex offender inmates exists in the state as it does on the federal level - slightly more than 3,000 of the state's inmates are in for sex crimes.
The prison - including the Cerbat Unit - has about 3,500 beds.
DOC uses the Sex Offenders Education and Treatment Program, which is based on a cognitive-behavioral and relapse prevention model of assessment and treatment, according to the DOC website.
The program is designed to assist the offender in "managing sexually exploitive behavior" so they don't reoffend.
DOC's website said the program includes psychological testing, getting the inmate to acknowledge the offending behavior, modifying cognitive distortions, managing deviant sexual urges and impulses, developing empathy for the victim, and acquiring relapse prevention skills.
Participants are encouraged to take an active role in treatment by attending weekly classes, group therapies and other components. ..Source.. by Doug McMurdo

Trigger warning: describes persons without autism as a group; may be detrimental to a NT's self esteem if it's highly relying on one's individual traits etc
To get some background to what I'm about to introduce or define (work in progress, and tongue in cheek, to use a NT expression), follow some autism and aspie related topics e.g. in Twitter or Facebook. #ActuallyAutistic hashtag in Twitter is a good source.
Neurotypical Spectrum Disorder
Persons with Neurotypical brain functioning vary in their degree of functioning. Many are able, and insist, to function independently, without assistance from others. Neurotypical brains occur in a spectrum, so no two neurotypicals are the exact same. An old saying could be modified to if you've met a neurotypical, you have met one neurotypical person.
Many neurotypicals have in addition to their neurological and psychological issues of neurotypicalism, many comorbid conditions. Many neurotypicals, NT for short here, have been diagnosed with typical and functional sight, good hearing (including the pathology of using oral speech), age- and gender-typical mobility, and other such typical features.
NTs main problem with interacting with the world is in their communication. They are often just not very good at it.
While most sighted children are prone to looking at things they find interesting, curious, weird, disgusting or just because, NTs maintain the staring behavior well into adulthood. NTs like to look at the people they talk to, and insist on people looking at them (they call this "eye contact") while also listening. Their justification for this is that they feel they are able to get a clue of the other person's feelings and emotions doing this. In addition to trying to mindread others based on the presence or absence of other people's facial muscle spasms, they also use their facial muscles to communicate a range of emotions and feelings to the others, instead of communicating directly. The range, styles, and most of the map of emotions as how they might be presented in typical humans' face are largely depending on the culture, age, gender etc of the communicators. In the past hundred and some years since the invention of movies and TV, NT culture has found its way in popular culture, so most people exposed to Hollywood movies learn to at least partially decipher the dictionary of NT American facial expressions on light skinned people. In other cultures the actual expressions, and especially the range of expressed or not shown emotion of expressions varies greatly though.
While using the eye contact and facial expression to communicate between the lines is a very NT features, it is not only present in NT cultures. Also many Deaf and hard of hearing people (presented here separately, since while they may present many NT traits, they don't often present their NT symptoms severely enough for a diagnosis) use them as part of their communication. Many Deaf people use sign language for speaking; this consists of expressions and movements with hands, combined with facial expressions and sometimes even with voice. Typical NTs don't use sign language in their communication (sign language intepreters etc aside), but they often use a primitive handspeak. Hands move randomly when a person is speaking, to highlight and accentuate the message. This behavior also has many cultural variants. To get a glimpse of some examples of this, look for any local TV ads from USA for some car commercials, and also for some TED Talks from different cultures. Observing people in their natural habitats can also show what they typically look like in a country or a culture. Italian handspeak can be much more expressive, and also contains several gestures commonly used in communication. Northern European handspeak can be rather flat: hands floppily on the sides, or in the pockets (combined with an "expressionless face" facial expression). Hand waving, gesticulating etc usually happens on the same speed, pattern and intensity as the NTs vocal fluctuations ("tone of voice"). While not everyone uses tones to communicate, it is a profound NT behavior, and NTs will find it difficult to understand someone if they perceive the other does not use the same kinds of tones while speaking, or does not have the same accent etc.
NTs use a "tone of voice" when they speak orally to communicate feelings and emotions between the lines. While everybody does not use the tones, many NTs assume everyone does, and they will be uncomfortable if they cannot decipher this tone information in someone's voice (or for instance with screenreaders, or if someone uses assistive technology to speak). This can create a silly problem that can escalate in environments where the majority of the persons are NT. And the solution would be very simple: if a person with NT disorder is interested in knowing how someone is feeling (or having emotions), they could simply use their words (to speak, to type etc) to enquire about it with direct words.
NTs are prone to making generalizations of other people by their group characteristics. If a random stranger somewhere insists on asking you whereyoureallyfrom or other similar information just because you look and/or sound different, you most likely have just met a NT person. They will get infuriated if they cannot get the information they need in order to "understand" you, typically including such label-information as your nationalities, where you grew up, what religion your parents indoctrinated you with etc etc. This same also happens if your sight/hearing perceivable difference to the local NTs is only by sight. If your ancenstry came from some other continent, or you were adopted from elsewhere, it is still very important for the NT to have the information he or she wants, otherwise their inner stereotyping will not work. This is usually problematic only when a person does not have any features or characteristics the NTs expect them to have based on some group affinities. NTs will often mask the prying behind a light small talk, but they often forget the reciprocity, or just go on with their smalltalk.
NTs are prone to social smalltalk. It is a behavior where empty words and empty pleasantries are exchanged, often when meeting new people, or frequently also within workplaces. Many NTs seem to think that by using smalltalk as a masking behavior, people will not notice if they need to pry for information, or ask for favors etc. A NT coworker rarely goes to the topic when they interrupt you during work hours; they will first try to engage you in smalltalk for several minutes, then start circling around what they really need or want, instead of asking it directly.
NTs have often visual components to enable identifying them faster. They dress and present themselves typical to their culture, social class, profession, gender, and other group affinities. They often like brand clothing, and find owning a motor vehicle to be part of their independence, and the brand of which will apparently communicate to others a significant amount of data about what kind of person they are. The car manufacturers are even better than fashion industry in hooking their NT customer base with car brands that they can be identified with (e.g. BMW for those who want to show off they have a good amount of money, and are not very good drivers). NT women like to wear fashionable clothing, and when in prime reproductive age, may have a tendency to wear footwear that is impractical to impossible to walk, just to attract mates or attention from other NT females. The HR departments often excuse NT women by considering said footwear to look professional, even in environments where clearly it is not. Outlavish fashion garments, loud makeup on face, nail extensions, expensive haircuts and styles – NT persons with femaleness can go quite far, as long as it's towards the excessive femininity, before anyone starts to question their behaviors of expressing their gender or sexual identity. NT women expect to fish compliments on their new $300 haircuts or lavish shoes. Not praising them for their style, individuality, or asking for wrong kind of questions ("how much did that cost?") often silently angers them.
Small talk and other empty non-information changing social talk are just one expression of neurotypicals behavior. The same pattern follows often thru all their communication styles. A phone call between NT women may consist of just small talk and prying. Many NTs are also uncomfortable to just directly ask or tell what they need.
There is no known cure for neurottypicalism. NTs could be trained by keeping them either in isolation of age peers or by keeping them in groups of people with different ages and different communication styles and abilities. An NT that has been exposed e.g. to wheelchair users, blind and deaf people and people of other skintones and cultures since childhood will be more natural in different communication styles. A typical untrained NT would find e.g. listening to a speech by Stephen Hawking difficult as they will try to read into the lack of tone expression in the machine voice or the absence of facial muscle expressions, as opposed to actually listen to what he is communicating.

|20 February - Comfort zone
You were so grumpy today that you cried every time I pulled the camera out to take your photo so I decided not to bother until you went to sleep I snuck in there and you were wrapped around your teddy bear, hugging him tight. He is you best bud, your comforter, your favourite toy. Aunty Laura bought him for you as a baby shower gift and of all of your (seemingly) millions of toys HE is the one you love the most. Pretty good pick. He's starting to show the signs of a well-loved bear, last month he lost an eye! Poor one-eyed Teddy!

Setting up Amazon S3
If you do not already have an amazon account you will need to sign up for one here.
Once you have an Amzon account go to aws.amazon.com and sign up for a web services account.
Once you have received the email and confirmed that you have signed up for an AWS account, navigate to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). Sign up for this service.
When you have completed signing up for Amazon S3 you will be given two key pieces of information and they are: Your Access Key ID and Your Secret Access Key. Keep these in a safe place. If you should lose them you can click on your AWS account and find them under 'Your Account' and then click on 'Security Credentials'.
That's it, you have completed the first stage of getting started with Amazon S3.
Using Amazon S3
You will now need some sort of interface as a way of transferring files to your Amazon S3 account.
By far the easiest and most popular way is to use the Firefox Add on 'S3 Organizer'. You will obviously need the Firefox browser for this.
Once you have downloaded the Firefox add on you will need to set up your details and give your account name, access key id and secret key id.
You will then be presented with a split screen. On the left hand side is your computer files and the right hand side is the Amazon S3 account.
To start transferring files from your computer to your Amazon S3 account, you will need to create a bucket/directory. This is simply a folder in which you will keep certain files.
To create a bucket simply click on the blue icon on the top, right side of the screen. Name the bucket and make sure it is something memorable. Try using your website name and something which describes what you are putting in the folder e.g. LifeSnips-Images.
Uploading Images
Now it's time to put some files in your newly created bucket. It's simply a matter of dragging and dropping the files into the bucket you have just created.
When the files have been transferred, you will see a progress bar at the bottom. You will now need to allow access for everyone to see the file.
To allow everyone access you can right click on the image file you have just uploaded and click on 'Edit ACL'. You will want to tick all the boxes in the 'read' column, which will allow everyone to view the image file when you have put the link in your website or blog.
Now that you have done all this you will need the address of where the file is stored. To get the address, right click on the image file in your bucket and click 'copy URL to clipboard'. You now have the url, to make sure it works go to your address bar on your browser and paste in the url you have just copied. When you see the image file that you uploaded to your Amazon S3 account you will know everything is okay.
Now, when you want an image on your website or blog you can use the source of the image file as the url from your Amazon S3 which will look something like http://lifesnips-images.s3.amazonaws.com/Amazon.jpg.
If you are using WordPress you can get a plugin called Amazon S3 Plugin
This is an easy way to transfer all your image files into one bucket straight from your wordpress blog.
Uploading Audio Files
You can upload audio files in exactly the same way as above, however it will take a little longer to upload.
Once your audio files has been uploaded you will need an audio player for your website or blog.
Again if you are using wordpress you can use the plugin above to store your audio files and a plugin called Audio Player in order to play the files on your blog.
The audio player plugin lets you play audio files straight from your blog.
Uploading Video Files
This is a little trickier however is relatively simple to do. Record your video as normal. Now, upload the file to your Amazon S3 account. Once it has completed uploading, make sure you change the ACL settings as the details in section 'uploading an image' explained.
The hardest part is finding a decent player for your video files. However after using four or five players I settled on a great little player called JW FLV Media Player
Upload all the relevant files for JW Player to your own website server and then go to the setup wizard here and put in all the required details there. It is much easier using the wizard. You will be able to see instantly if anything is wrong as JW Player has a preview at the bottom of the page.
Now you are ready to put all the code that was provided into your website or blog. You might take a few minutes to learn this but is really is worth it as videos can enhance your website a great deal.
This is only a brief rundown of the capabilities of what Amazon S3 can do for you and your website. There are lots of innovative ways developers are using Amazon S3, take a look here at what else it is being used for.
At first glance Amazon S3 can seem complex to the beginner however once you have got the basics and get the simple add on for Firefox, it really is straightforward and will make life so much easier for backing up computer files, and keeping hosting bandwidth costs down.

Educational Institutions to some extent have forgotten their responsibility to guide students to be good social being and citizens valuable for society and just provide them with degrees only. BFGI in order to make students realize their social responsibilities has established a full-fledged department of 'Social Welfare'. Every year is dedicated to an important social and noble theme. Year 2009 to social welfare, 2010 to placements, 2011 to Youth development, 2012 to Live Green and Year 2013 has been dedicated to 'Women Empowerment' while subsequent years have been dedicated to different social causes such as Entrepreneurship and Health Awareness. It does not mean that the works started in that year are done away with the end of that year but are continued along with the next year theme. As along with 'Women Empowerment' a continuous 'Live Green' Social Awareness Campaign is also being run.

You need to become a Contributor to join the discussion.
I'm interested in these new ideas about social networking sites, but I'm curious to know whether any will gain traction. Everyone was pumped about Ello for about 5 minutes and I thought maybe they'd break through but it looks like they have run in to some problems (not sure if others got their weird e-mail or not)...Tsu looks interesting, and even though I'd really love to participate it feels like I have enough social networking stuff going on with FB/Twitter and I don't really want to leave all of that behind...it's hard to start fresh on a new FB account for example. I'm not 100% convinced, btw, that people really care that much that their information is being sold. There's a vocal minority that are outraged (and rightfully so I think), but even some of the big-wigs in the industry like Robert Scoble have basically said- They're providing you a service that you enjoy, and they're offering it to you free because you're submitting anonymous data that they use to provide you a better service. I understand the ethics and I'm not trying to oversimplify, I just think the majority of people are okay with that social contract.
Narek Khachatryan@narekk · Product Designer
@UXAndrew I agree. There is a concern but it's mostly driven by journalism and the human concern of losing control. I think we are mostly fine with Facebook. I just signed up for Tsu and have dug around, there is nothing compelling here for me right now, and I am still not sure I understand the "get paid for your content" element. Also, not sure if a social network that is incentivized by profit is going to be the one with the richest content.
@narekk @UXAndrew This is what I call the "Evernote Barrier". When you first go to Evernote, there's no real value for you. The value comes after extensive use. The same is true of Facebook, although less true of Twitter. Facebook has value when all of your friends are there and there are tons of photos and you like lots of celebs or groups or whatever. Ello has the "Evernote Barrier" dilemma. After extensive use, maybe there's something to do, but at first, there's nothing....

@uxandrew You guys are very very Wrong, Let me give you something Casey said ! We have Frienster now! So it's no need to ever build a Myspace or Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. I think the social space in the way we share and communicate, especially via technology is an evolution. There is never an Arrival... There is only a progression! -Casey I agree 100% with this.

I had the pleasure of being asked to come back to Val Uchendu's podcast Loss to Profound yesterday, where I was joined with motivational speaker Monti Washington to speak about how millennials deal with loss.
It's no surprise that our generation is introduced to an entirely different world than the more traditional times that came before us. From the social media boom to steering away from the conservative college and career path, millennials have had to navigate through uncharted terrain and faced some flack from older generations along the way.
It's all good, though. Monti and I held it down for Gen X.
Check out episode 9 of Loss to Profound above!

Shadow of a Son
During the month of June, 2010, I spent several weeks traveling in Europe with a study-abroad program of sculpture students from East Carolina University. I spent 2 weeks in Latvia at the Pedvale Sculpture Park working on installation land art pieces under the theme "Stone/Color". The following images document my creation of "Shadow of a Son", a 6ft x 35ft stone installation. The piece is made up of old limestone border blocks from a local farmhouse foundation and granite fragments from many years of previous stone carvings at Pedvale. It is located on a grassy hillside meadow just below a naturally occurring spring, which flows over the stones at the top and ripples through the granite chips, draining out from a small pool of water which accumulates at the lower portion.


text: A first of its kind. Our solid, beautifully crafted FSC recycled 100% reclaimed teak tile is the perfect addition to any indoor or outdoor space. With ease of installation, it's perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, back-splash, entry-ways or any wet environment like saunas, pool areas and gyms. Teaks luxurious look and feel is perfect for any home, business or hospitality project. All tiles are available in custom colors.

Caring pediatric nurses are available 24/7 to help answer your health questions.720-777-0123
Children's Hospital Colorado
Anschutz Medical Campus
13123 East 16th Avenue
Aurora, CO 80045
Our specialists are experts in breathing, lung and sleep disorders, so patients come from all over the country to be treated at Children's Hospital Colorado.
Our pediatric pulmonologists see more patients than any other pediatric pulmonology group in the Denver metro area. Not only did we see more than 63% of all pulmonary inpatient cases in the Denver Metro area in 2016*, but we also saw more than 75% of the most severely ill respiratory patients. Our experience is part of what makes the Breathing Institute the best in the multi-state region.
*Note: This data is through August 2016; we will update this page as new information becomes available for the full year.
Market share tells us where children go for care. The graph above shows the five health systems in the Denver Metro area with the most admissions for respiratory illnesses among children from birth to 14 years old in 2016, as of August. Out of all children up to 14 years old who were admitted to a hospital for a respiratory illness in 2016, more than 63% of them came to Children's Colorado.
Hospital admissions are classified by severity, from 1 (least sick) to 4 (most sick). The graph above shows that of the patients with the most severe respiratory diseases in 2016, more than 75% of them came to Children's Colorado. Our providers and staff have the expertise to care for your child, from minor concerns to severe respiratory disorders.
As shown in the graph above, we've done more than 500 bronchoscopies (.pdf) each year for the last seven years, making us the place to go if your child needs a bronchoscopy.
We regularly evaluate data on the ability of our pulmonary experts to see new patients within 10 days or less. Urgent appointments are also available and we accommodate these same day visits after discussion with our partners in care, your child's pediatrician or family practice physician.
Our sleep program has grown tremendously, doubling the number of sleep studies done in the last seven years, including more than 3,400 in 2016.

Strong-willed Women
Laura felt a warmth inside her. It was very small, but it was strong. It was steady, like a tiny light in the dark, and it burned very low but no winds could make it flicker because it would not give up.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
February 7, 1867: Generations of suburban schoolchildren learned how to churn butter (at least in theory!) thanks to author and pioneer woman Laura Ingalls Wilder. She was born 146 years ago.
Women who won't give up.
There are some of those in our family. Generations of them in fact. Strong-willed, determined, but lovable and caring women. Women with integrity. Women with a desire to do good and make their surroundings happy and beautiful. Women who give more than what is expected to help someone or care for someone.
I am blessed to have many great examples surrounding me. These women come in all shapes and sizes. Some are young, some older, some have walked this earth before I came here. Some are our grandchildren--or munchkins, as I call them.
I learn from these women in our family. They teach me things. They probably don't even know. My mother was one who had great influence and brought happiness into my life.
When Linnea was born my mother held her in her arms and said, "This one has a strong will." And she was right. I was always aware of that as she grew up and tried to channel her in good directions, as she had to believe she made all the decisions herself. Fortunately she made good choices and still does.
Our three-year-old munchkin, Emma, looks like an angel and has the will of ten wild bulls. Her latest expression the other day when her grandfather and I were babysitting and tried to get her to go to bed was, "I will what I will".
Today's art is an oil painting I did of my mother and Linnea many years ago.

Become Emotionally Empowered
Become Emotionally Empowered
Become Emotionally Empowered
By Elmarie van Heerden - LifeWorks Personal Development Trainer
What is Emotional Empowerment?
Emotional vulnerability is reflected in stormy, shallow, deteriorating or unsatisfying and destructive relationships.
Dr Pieter van Jaarsveld wrote in his book ("Hart van 'n wenner: ontwikkel jou EI") that people who mostly live with negative emotions, become physiologically sick.
Research has shown that harboring constant emotions of worry and anger for only 5 minutes, can have a negative effect on our immune system for 6 hours. We thus do not only suffer emotionally from feeling vulnerable, but our physical health is also affected by it. It is necessary to have satisfying and meaningful relationships - with ourselves, our fellowmen and society on the whole to be fully functional and content.
Naturally we want to ensure we have continuous healthy relationships but where and how do we start?
To become emotionally empowered, the following 5 skills are need to be developed and enhanced-:
1. Self-awareness
Daniel Goleman says that people with high self-awareness are "aware of their moods as they are having them". To increase self-awareness, we need to practice focusing on the present moment and label the feeling we are experiencing as accurately as we can.
Plato said that the life which is unexamined, is not worth living. We need to examine our strengths and weaknesses. It is necessary to get regular feedback from our boss, trusted colleagues, friends and family about the way you dealt with specific situations and get their opinion on ways to improve. We thus 'learn who we really are and then live with that decision'. (Eleanor Roosevelt)
2. Self-regulation
Self-regulation is about staying in control of ourselves. To lose our temper; to be overwhelmed by emotions or to be on an emotional see-saw ride, make us vulnerable.
There are various techniques available to manage our emotions. To manage anger, we can "press pause" and give ourselves time-out to think about why we lost control and focus on the specific triggers we are sensitive to. Breathing techniques and admitting the anger, also help to gain control back. To be angry is OK, but it is how we deal with it; how we express it, that shows the level of our self-regulation.
3. Motivation
Anthony Robbins claims that only 2 forces determine our motivation to change: the avoidance of pain and the pursuit of pleasure. If we choose to lose 2 kilograms in a month's time, it will certainly bring pleasure - how esteemed we feel fitting into a smaller size! We will therefore see the cake in front of us as pain - to eat it, will take us away from the pleasure of having a smaller waist line. If we are unmotivated to lose weight, the cake will be a source of pleasure.
Motivation levels can be boosted by:
Motivation also implies maintaining a positive attitude. We need to protect our energy by refraining from falling into the habit of complaining or to entertain listening to those who complain and suck energy out of us.
4. Empathy
Empathy is the ability to recognize other people's emotions and to understand their perspective. Daniel Goleman calls this a "fundamental people skill". We can develop our empathy by using listening skills. Don't judge another until you have walked a mile in his shoes! Furthermore, focus on the other person during a conversation. It is not always about us! The spin-off from such an altruistic approach is that it will ensure that people would want to be in our company, an antidote to loneliness.
5. Social skills
Getting along well with people doesn't mean that we must always be 'nice'. We need to decide whether we want to be liked or to be respected. When we have the privilege of being liked and respected, we certainly have a friendship! Building trust and developing rapport with others are skills that can be developed.

This dancer is Hoda Shams El Din (also spelt Shamseddine). If you've ever wondered what a bellydance costume would look like with a giant pretzel on the front of the belt, here's your answer. Someone pointed out on TheCaroVan that its actually a snake motif and that Hoda's wearing a matching snake on her arm. Yikes, I'm not sure what's worse, a pretzel or a snake!
The scene is from the 1954 film 'An American from Tanta' (أمريكانى من طنطا ) which starred Firdous Mohamed and Kariman along with Riad Hussein, Abdul Moneim Ibrahim, Wedad Hamdy and Shukry Sarhan. During the performance close-ups of the reactions of two women in the audience are shown. Kariman is the woman with the longer hair

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I ordered them and they arrived the next day! Super light and durable. Looking forward to having these for a long time to come. Also the fact that the orange ones are for the wall and the grey for your rope makes things really easy when you are climbing and need to clip in
Great Sport Quickdraw
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Have used them quite a bit, very smooth, easy to clip, and of course light. Haven't taken any whippers on them but the small falls I've taken havent been a problem
Overall very pleased!!
does the job right
not the best and not the worse. it gets the job done, i would say the carabiners are not the most durable in the market, but the runner, lasted more than some BD that i had.
all in all, great deal for the price
Most certainly worth the buy.

These were the first set of quick draws that I've bought. They're cheap, and pretty reliable! They're worth the money if you're starting out and going small, or even planning on buying some cheap practice draws.
What is the length of the gate opening on these quick draws?

It has been frustrating in that I am unable to go to Haiti immediately with disaster teams like with those where I helped out in Honduras, Macedonia, Lebanon, Iraq, S Africa, Byloruss, Vietnam, and Cambodia; but it is just as well since I am hooking up with Aloha Medical Mission here in Hawaii to go to Samoa in early to mid Feb. Being in Hawaii at this time where life is good makes me almost feel guilty, but with prayer and being with good church folks here is preparing me for His Works ahead.
I know that if the Lord wants me to go to any of these places it is His Will and not mine. So I will be patient unto Him. Haiti will have terrific needs for a long, long time; it already did before the earthquake. I had been there on 2 medical missions in the mid 60's.
To those who question God as to why these terrible things happen, the real question is how do we respond to help those in need in the Name of Jesus. I will await His Word.
Well, be careful for what you pray for: I was invited and now Feb 9, I have been here in Haiti for 4 days. I will try to cut and paste my emails to this blog. I cannot descibe all the people, events and feelings at this time, except to say that it has been overwhelming, tiring and yet I would not have had it anyother way. It tops all the other missions I have been invloved with. I will never ever forget it.
Last night I spent my 2nd nite in the Hospital-For Little Sisters and Brothers--aka St Damien's--I did so at the behest of the night shift pediatrician just out of her residency. A few moments later she came out of bathroom crying: at my wondering she said she lost her parent and her brothers in the earthquake. One of the other volunteers prayed with her. Later we brought her some dinner.
EMAILS sent:
-Feb 6---Aloha and Bon Jour BW, C, GG, WH, and all Acts 2, SS, Bible Study and Snyder, & friends in Hawaii!! Wow over whelmed here in peds Ed. Structure and organization is spotty and kinda wild but busy and naever catch up. At 430P a DKA diabetic is brought in by Doctors w/o Borders and therefore our ride back to the compound is out of the question at 530--so 2 of us stay to take care of him--5 yo sick x 10 days. Rx iv fluids and insulin and watchig his Blood sugars all night. all the beds here about 20 have been filled with little kid w IV for 1-2 days; the wards are alos filled. No beds.Language is problem but have excellen RT lady named Jackie Currie who was here x 5 years in 80's and still know her Creol. She had visited L' Pital Bon Samaritan in Limbe.A Haitian nurse name Sue is excellent and knows diabetics. I have tried to sleep on hard cot here in hospital but spotty at best. The pedaitiric hospital here was virtually undamaged and had been a life safer to this part ot Port of Prince in that it took care of adults also.It is a Catholic Hospital well run and clean and organized well. There seem to be plenty of supplies brought in from everywhere. GI's the 82, the UN , Franklin Graham's--we heard him speak our first night-- are all present, Choppers and planes are ever present, the roads are jammed. Tthings are better, folks say, now its organized chaos. It's still like a war zone.Sounds like things are better than when Steve Logue was here--I talked to him right after her cme back.Where the NC Bapt team is staying, 28 of us. after a 11 hour ride from Santo Domigo, is about 15 miles N of POP and is a sereal compound on 60 acres that Global Missions contracts to us; Samaitan's Purse is also here; it over looks the Caribean Sea, and far quieter than the chaos if POP. Missionary homes are where we stay; the missionaries left to go bak to the states after the earth quake; they had been here 17 years. Ok back to bed and try to sleep some. our team should be back about 7Am. More later. Thanks for your prayers, Al -
To SusieR, MaureenK: Feb 7--Father Rick, Director of the St Damian Hospital for Childrenand Babies, is also a physician; at mass this early morn he gave a most poignant homily about one of his parishers who lost his family, the memorial sevice being given on the ruins of the home where the deceased still rested. "This was true calvary, where Christ was placed on the cross; this was not drive by service in an air conditioned bus."I wish I could convery what all this about.
Feb 9--Aloha FraN&Horace&Shirley and Amy!!! Copy Dr Sisi:
How did the dinner cruise go?? Sent the mess below to John and Grace but guess they are away. Spending another 24 hrs here at this Little Brother and Sister Hospital; the lady peds nurse asked me to stay and help her; then she broke down and cried; her parents and brothers were all killed in the earthquake. We took her to supper here in the hosp and then stayed until we cleaned out the out pts.This is really very nice hosp--Catholic and well endowed and clean. It is so hot though and the work is burdensome w translaters and the ped ed is just not well organized. The DKA diabetic is finally turning the corner and peds endocrin is taking over--got him admitted to the ward. Spent wonderful morning yest with ped spec w HIV babies. He even had all of his pts on EMR!!Hope yall have had a good time. I am sorry I felt compelled to leave you and go on a another crazy tear. Youve got 2 more days--sure yall will make the most of it--how many suit cases on the plane!!!!????Regards to Amy and kids; Will be in touch w you asap when I get back late Fri nite in Honolulu. That will be some time travel from Haiti--Shrl will have to pour me out of the plane.Apprec your prayers for Haitian people. Love, me

Following a period of sitting in the Church of St. Margaret-at-Hill in Southwark, the Court moved to Doctors Commons where it stayed from 1666 until 1860. There under the shadow of St Pauls it prospered under the expert guidance of the Lord Stowell and Dr Lushington. It was during this period that many of the distinctive practices and procedures of the Admiralty Court were refined and set down in the form of written court rules for the assistance of practitioners. Following a brief and inauspicious period in a loft in the Palace of Westminster, the Court came to the Royal Courts of Justice on the Strand in January 1883.

You spend your life hearing from your Apple fanboy friends that their Macs are so much secure than your Windows PC. Then, out of nowhere, a software analyst on Twitter comes along highlights the most basic security flaw. That's what's happening with MacOS Sierra.
Apple being Apple meant it didn't take long before an official patch was released, but for one glorious day, all those Apple fanboys were fiddling around with unofficial fixes and flapping about the security of their glorious Macs. Let's have a look at the whole saga in a bit more detail.
Our Softonic Solutions users are talking about The 35 best MacOS apps. Join the conversation now!
Nov. 28, 2017 – 10:38AM
All hell breaks loose
Lemi Orhan Ergin, a software craftsman and analyst, highlights on Twitter a "*HUGE*" security issue that, he says, affects all Macs running MacOS Sierra. The vulnerability allows people to log into any Mac by entering root into the username, leaving the password blank and clicking login several times.
Other Twitter users give it a try and shriek in horror as this massive hole in their Mac's security checks out.
Nov. 28, 2017 – 12:25pm
Apple responds
The panic sets in at the new Apple HQ, so they get all customer service and send the most generic response ever. Behind the scenes, however, the "geniuses" are at work, and it doesn't take them long to come up with a plan of action to calm their darling fanboys.
Nov. 28, 2017 – 12:45pm
The unofficial patch is released
It doesn't take Apple long to come up with the most common sense solution to the problem. If somebody can log in to the Mac via the root account without entering a password, all users have to do is change the password for the root account. Before long, sites like 9to5mac are running detailed tutorials on how to change the password of the root account.
Nov. 29, 2017 – 08:17
The official fix is out there
This is why you have to give it to Apple. Less than 24 hours after this huge flaw in Mac security was released on Twitter, they had an official patch ready for release that closed up the potential breach. It was a pretty huge flaw to begin with, but the =efficiency with which they dealt with the issue is commendable. This Windows user isn't quite ready to call them geniuses just yet, but he gives credit where it is due and Apple deserves a bit on this one.
The patch isn't an OTA update, however, so if you haven't already updated your Mac, you can download the file here or follow Apple's instructions here.
Where were you when the root security vulnerability was discovered?Did you fret over the vulnerability of your Macbook Air as you worked on that freelance project while sipping on a skinny Christmasccino down at the Starbucks? Or did you keep the faith in your genius overlords? Let us know in the comments below if you think this whole debacle has shaken your faith in Apple or strengthened it.
If you're a Windows user and you were impressed by how quickly Apple solved this problem, you might want to check out Questions to ask when switching from Windows to Mac.

2012 hopefuls miss out on tickets
Some 15,000 people who thought they had secured London 2012 Olympics tickets in the second round of sales have now been told they will not receive them.
The disappointed fans had been able to book seats for events which had already sold out because the booking website was not updated quickly enough.
Some 2.3m tickets went on sale online on Friday for 10 days on a first-come, first-served basis.
Locog said almost 90% of those who applied on Friday got some tickets.'Galling'
Those who lost out fell foul of the way the Ticketmaster system was updated during the second round process, BBC sports news correspondent James Pearce says.
The original online ticket system was designed for the ballot arrangement used for the first round sale of tickets where live updating was not needed.
On a first-come, first-served basis, where tickets to events are withdrawn from sale as they sell out, the organisers had to rely on manual updating by a team of operatives.
This is an embarrassment for the London 2012 organisers. Although it had always been made clear that the Ticketmaster system wasn't designed for a first come first served process, we'd been told that once people had received a confirmation e-mail they should only miss out in 'exceptional circumstances'.
It turns out that 15,000 people have received an e-mail informing them that they got nothing, and it's easy to understand their anger. Many had thought that they'd finally managed to get their hands on elusive Olympic tickets, and yet are now back to square one.
Locog's promise to do all that they can to help these people when more tickets are made available at the end of the year means that there could still be a happy ending, but in the meantime there will be plenty of frustration.
This is, though, also the day that many other people did finally get tickets, so for all the misery of those who missed out there is joy from others who were successful.
These would appear not to have kept up with the speed of tickets sales, our correspondent says.
One applicant, Andy Pritchard, from Bangor, Gwynedd, contacted the BBC to say his application for second round tickets had been rejected.
"I was on the application website bang on 0600 on Friday to make my application and thought I had got tickets to three sessions," he said.
"As they were supposedly first-come, first-served, I had some confidence that I had been successful. But today I received an e-mail saying I had been unsuccessful and will not be going to the games, which I just found galling. Now I have no tickets for myself or my son."
A London 2012 spokeswoman said: "Over 150,000 applications have been processed since Friday for around 850,000 tickets. Just under 90% received tickets, subject to payment.
"Around 10% have not been successful due to the massive demand during the first two hours of sales where 10 sports sold out, some within 15 minutes.
"E-mails are being sent to applicants today, and whilst more applicants now have tickets to the Games, we know that there are still some disappointed customers and we will do everything we can to get them to the Games."
In all, 24 sports were in the second round, 18 of which sold out by Friday evening. Boxing and weight lifting joined the "sold out" list on Saturday.
Tickets for 310 sessions went on sale, 44 of which were medal events.
There were about 1.7 million tickets for football and 600,000 for other sports, including archery, hockey, football, judo, boxing and volleyball, among other sports.
Some half a million tickets were priced at £20 or less. A further one million tickets were priced between £20 and £50.
Tickets for football, volleyball, wrestling - freestyle and Greco-Roman - remain available.Further ballot coming
Locog said there would be further opportunities to buy tickets for a wider range of events.
"Over a million new tickets will be offered to the British public next year from contingency seats, once venues are tested and licensed, and we aim to get as many of these tickets as possible into the hands of customers who have missed out to date."
London 2012 - Begin your journey here
Notification is being sent within 24 to 48 hours of applying. Payment will be taken once the sale closes at 1800 BST on 3 July.
The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (Locog) said: "Broadly speaking, those who applied first, on Friday morning, will be those who hear first."
Fewer than half of those who applied got tickets in the first round, as demand outstripped supply in many events. In the men's 100m athletics final more than one million tickets were requested.
Those who were successful in the first ballot, held from May to June, will get their own second chance to buy from 0600 BST on 8 July to 1800 BST on 17 July. However, a 2012 spokeswoman said there was no guarantee that tickets would still be available by then.

New Mardi Gras will receive a $45,000 one-off grant from South Sydney City Council, putting the fledgling organisation in a strong position to make its first contract payment on time.
The awarding of the grant (at a meeting of Council on Wednesday of last week) took place amid a strange scene, with one councillor absenting himself from an earlier vote on the matter and later returning to second the eventually successful motion.
Democrat Cr Peter Furness initially proposed a grant for New Mardi Gras of $50,000, but this motion was defeated after Independent Cr John Bush left the chamber.
An alternative motion, that New Mardi Gras be granted $25,000, was proposed by Labor Cr Greg Shaw and got up after Mayor Tony Pooley cast his vote in favour. However, this vote was overturned just a few minutes later when Cr Bush returned to the chamber and seconded a proposal from Liberal Cr Shayne Mallard that set the grant total at $45,000.
Another Labor councillor, Christine Harcourt, accused Mallard and Bush of turning the debate into a bidding auction -" but Bush told Council that Mallard had used very persuasive words to convince him to support the $45,000 proposal.
Bush won't go all the way, Furness then quipped from across the council chamber.
In addition to the one-off grant, Council voted to honour its previously agreed Mardi Gras sponsorship for the 2003 season (worth $125,000) for New Mardi Gras.
The Council grant now leaves New Mardi Gras with close to $100,000 in its coffers, not far off the $150,000 needed by 18 November in order for the organisation to take over the name and assets of the old Mardi Gras.
New Mardi Gras co-chair Michael Woodhouse told Sydney Star Observer that the grant would help New Mardi Gras to make the contract payment on time.
We're incredibly grateful to South Sydney Council for their generous donation, he said. It's an investment in Mardi Gras, not just for 2003, but well beyond that.
