Few things make family members move more interesting than when it demands children. We've touched on the topic on the inside past along some great responses from readers. We thought it better to provide some additional details to make sure that you your next family relocation goes smooth and even fun for the little individuals.
We in many cases can contribute both time and money to charitable foundations. Being capable of this makes such a change on men and women. We are always looking towards our new goals and where we will be going to tomorrow.
The tricky part to this e-mail rumor is determining which states qualify. There are specific pages of legalese planning the specifics, most of which only further confuse concern. The basics are that every county or parish as state get been declared a major disaster under section 401 of the Robert P. Stafford disaster relief charity and Emergency Assistance Deed.
In line with our assertion that children need to feel in the middle of the process, they must be allowed to also make decisions that impact their personal space. Properly what color they actually to paint their new room and if there are any reasonable minor adjustments they plan to make to doing it. We're not suggesting building a walk-in closet for your pre-teen diva, but perhaps they are looking blinds instead of curtains or simply a different ceiling light fixture in their room. Permitting them to make decisions about their personal space will help a lot in keeping them excited into the move.
Arista Records released the new Whitney Houston "Star Spangled Banner" CD on October 9. Wal-Mart is selling the CD for .96.Whitney Houston, The Whitney Foundation For Children, Inc., and Arista Records are donating its royalties and net proceeds on the New York Fraternal Order Of Police and Fresh York Firefighters 9/11 USAID. Whitney's version of "The Star Spangled Banner" was sung in 1991 your Persian Gulf War.
This is not necessarily what do to enjoy a living or even for money, but what brings you joy and to a different place when put it into practice? It isn't only good to the heart; it is nice for the soul. Physical and emotional Health and Healing- ought to what all of us need associated with in lifestyle of despair and demolition.
When you get tired of needing war, disease, famine, lack, natural disasters and accidents, then don't harbour those thoughts. Don't support them by watching TV, reading the paper or other materials, gossiping and creating images, songs and poems of so much. Refocus your thoughts to produce what you really, really, really, in order to experience.

Freeview|HD Frequently Asked Questions
What is Digital TV?
In the past the pictures on television seen by the majority of New Zealanders were by virtue of analogue transmission.
In May 2007 Freeview launched a digital satellite service giving Kiwis' the option of watching their favourite programmes in crystal clear digital quality, free- to-air, for the first time.
Within twelve months we are approaching 100,000 (or 6% of) NZ homes that have access to the Freeview satellite service.
Freeview|HD will launch in April and the evolution of New Zealand free-to-air broadcasting takes its next major next step forward.
Why is this happening?
The Government has announced that the current analogue service will eventually be switched off, probably in the next 4-7 years. The current policy is that a target date will be set once 60% of homes have digital television and a switch off date finalised once 75% of homes have digital TV. We are currently at approximately 47%.
Freeview's aim is to ensure that world class digital technology is not only available and affordable but that it also offers a superior broadcasting experience for all New Zealanders. The goal is to make this a reality for Kiwis through choice, not compulsion.
When is the launch date for the Freeview|HD service?
Wednesday the 2nd of April 2008 is when the network will go-live and digital terrestrial receivers will be available from appliance retailers to access the service. The official launch event will be on the 14th April 2008.
What does Freeview|HD deliver in addition to the Freeview satellite offering?
Where the Freeview satellite service made bad reception a thing of the past by delivering crystal clear standard definition pictures, Freeview|HD will provide crystal clear digital pictures and sound on all channels with the added bonus of some of your favourite programmes broadcast in High Definition.
TVOne, TV2, and TV3 will broadcast in a high definition format. There will be no standard definition signal for these channels meaning no need to simulcast in SD and HD. TVOne and TV2 will broadcast in the 1280 * 720 progressive (720p) format, while TV3 will broadcast in the 1920 * 1080 interlace (1080i) format. Both provide stunning HD picture quality.
On day one not all programmes on these channels will be true HD (i.e. shot, edited, stored, and broadcast in HD). As such the balance of the schedules will be 'up-converted' (or up-scaled) from standard definition to the appropriate HD format.
What High Definition programming will there be?
As stated above the TVOne, TV2, and TV3 schedules will be 'up-converted' (or up-scaled) from standard definition to the appropriate HD format.
Initially, TV3 will offer about 12 hours a week in true HD.
TVNZ will broadcast this year's Beijing Olympics in High Definition on TVOne.
We expect that each channel will look to increase the quantity of true HD programmes throughout 2008 and into 2009.
In addition, Freeview will provide an HD demonstration channel (channel 100) to showcase true HD from the Freeview|HD service launch.
What do I need?
Freeview does not sell digital receivers or carry out installations. It does, however, certify receivers to ensure quality and it also accredits retailers who wish to promote Freeview and sell compatible products.
Once you have an approved digital receiver you can access Freeview|HD from UHF aerial or for the Freeview satellite service a satellite dish.
What are your take-up projections?
Initial projections for the Freeview satellite service's first year (at 30,000) were proven to be conservative as Kiwis' quickly embraced the chance of receiving crystal clear digital quality pictures and sound for free. As stated above, within twelve months we are approaching 100,000 (or 6% of) NZ homes that have access to the Freeview satellite service.
With the launch of Freeview|HD we expect take-up of this service to be low initially and tracking upwards over time as the number of devices that contain a digital receiver increase and the channels accessible through Freeview grows.
Once again it is hard to predict how the take-up of Freeview|HD will unfold, but given the increasing number of homes with HD capable TV's (approximately 300,000 homes) looking for the best digital quality experience, we are confident that we will see over 50,000 NZ homes with the Freeview|HD service by June 2009.
Why are you deploying two separate technologies (satellite and terrestrial)?
By having two platforms Freeview will provide 100% national coverage, different cost options, features and ultimately more choice for New Zealanders who wish to receive crystal clear television and radio services.
Both platforms have different strengths and merits and by combining the two we have been able to deliver a digital broadcasting service that uses the latest technology and places New Zealand right at the forefront of global broadcasting capability.
Most OECD countries have or are planning dual digital broadcast platforms to ensure ubiquitous access for its citizens. We are the first country to have a digital satellite and terrestrial, free-to-air, service available under one brand.
How long before Freeview's broadcast infrastructure will need to be updated again?
The current analogue television network has been in service now for over 30 years. And whilst it is very hard to predict what the future will bring we have endeavoured to future proof the Freeview platforms as much as practically possible.
The Freeview|HD digital terrestrial platform's HD capability, coupled with decisions by TVNZ (TVOne and TV2) and TV3 to broadcast on this platform in HD only, place New Zealand alongside the world's leading HD platforms in terms of not just the technology deployed but also in providing our 'most watched' channels in HD.
Internationally, HD broadcasting has been led by pay-tv operators who have charged premium subscriptions for access to HD channels. Other than in the USA, Japan, and Australia, HD channels are almost exclusively pay-tv channels, not free-to-air.
What digital receiver products will Freeview provide?
Freeview does not manufacture or sell any digital reception hardware.
What we do is work with leading manufacturers and their NZ importer/distributor partners to produce technical specifications so that they are confident to make receivers for Freeview services.
To provide both manufacturers and consumer confidence in these products we do, however, provide a testing and certification service. As such Freeview has receivers rigorously tested to ensure that they are easy to install, automatically tune-in new channels when they launch, have the ability to access interactive TV content as it becomes available, work with the Freeview Guide (EPG), and as part of the warranty have technical support and service available throughout New Zealand. Overall certified products undergo and pass over 5,000 tests.
The digital satellite receiver and digital terrestrial receiver technical specifications are complete and available to any manufacturer, importer or distributor. Through 2008 we are likely to see the following products available from retailers:
• Digital Receivers – a stand alone digital receiver which connects to the satellite dish or UHF aerial and then to the television. A digital satellite receiver is different from a digital terrestrial receiver so it's important to make sure it matches the chosen Freeview service.
• Integrated Digital Televisions (iDTV's) – a TV with a built-in digital receiver. This means there's no need to buy a separate digital receiver if you haven't already purchased an HD Ready analogue TV. The iDTV must have the minimum requirements for displaying High Definition programmes.
• Gaming consoles – for example, PlayStation are developing an add-on digital receiver which will enable the PS3 to be used as a digital television recorder as well as a gaming console.
• PC cards / adaptors – turning your computer into a digital TV. For this you need to either install a digital TV PC card (this means getting inside the computer) or, if you have a modern PC with a fast USB-2 socket, you can plug in a digital TV USB adapter. You use the supplied software to tune in and watch FTA digital TV.
Next we will provide a Digital Television Recorder (DTR) specification. We are hoping to see Freeview approved DTRs in the market later in the year. They are essentially a smart digital receiver that records programmes to a hard drive. Programmes you want to record can be selected directly from the on-screen programme guide (EPG). Some have advanced features such as the ability to pause live TV, record multiple channels while simultaneously playing pre-recorded programmes, time shifting and series recording.
Which areas will be able to receive the new Freeview|HD service?
Freeview|HD is broadcast on a digital terrestrial network and received via a UHF aerial. It will be available in the Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier, Hastings, Palmerston North, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin. That's 75% of New Zealand homes.
Full coverage maps for each area are available at http://www.freeviewnz.tv/.
Outside of these areas, which equates to about 25% of homes, the Freeview satellite service provides free-to-air access to digital television.
How many channels does Freeview have and are there plans for any more in the next 12 months?
The number of channels that have joined the Freeview service currently sits at fifteen – thirteen television and two radio channels. We launched with five television and two radio channels on May 2nd 2007.
The currently available capacity of the satellite and terrestrial platforms is around twenty television channels. As such there is still room for more services and we are regularly approached by potential broadcasters looking to become part of the Freeview family.
Broadcasters can choose whether to broadcast their channels on satellite and/or terrestrial so the channel offering may differ between the two platforms. The Freeview|HD service will launch with the following channels: TV ONE, TV2, TV3, C4, MAORI TV, TVNZ6, TVNZ7, TVNZ SPORT EXTRA, PARLIAMENT TV, TV CENTRAL (Waikato & BoP only), RNZ NATIONAL, RNZ CONCERT.
UPDATE: I've posted more information about Freeview software and hardware.

When to Hire a Business Attorney for Partner Disputeshttps://toppinslawfirm.com/wp-content/themes/toppins/images/empty/thumbnail.jpg 150 150 Wasim Wasim https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9402f7ed21295a9145078a28c1b792c7?s=96&d=mm&r=g
Business disputes are very common. There is absolutely nothing wrong with two or more parties to disagree over an issue or two. It is however very wrong for the two parties to let the disagreement to culminate into destruction of a business which they both worked very hard to set up in the first place. Unfortunately, most business disputes end up destroying a business' vitality and in some extreme cases, the disputes brings down the company for good.
Partnership disputes are by far the most common type of business dispute experienced in the United States. This a dispute which arises because of lack of agreement between the company's shareholders and can be caused by a number of things. Some of the most common causes of partner disputes include cash flow problems, misunderstandings in proper profit sharing and other interpersonal disagreements which can happen in any setting.
Although these partner disputes are very common and sometimes inevitable, they can be prevented. Here at Toppins Law Firm, we understand that the leading cause of partner disputes is the lack of proper partnership agreement documents which outline the obligations, roles and general management of a company.
This lack of a partner agreement document comes as a result of business partners registering their companies without the legal counsel of a qualified business attorney. Without a qualified attorney, it is easy for partners to omit very important clauses from their agreement contracts. As such, the chances of a partnership dispute arising early on will be very high. With a written agreement however it is easy for either of the parties to defend or litigate when the need arises.
How to solve a partnership dispute
If you are entangled in a business dispute with you partner and don't know what to do, here are professional tips on what to do to resolve the dispute amicably without losing your business;
Avoid legal suits in court
If both the parties entangled in the partnership dispute care about the wellbeing of the company, they should cease rushing to court to report the dispute. Irrespective of the magnitude of the matter, the courts should always be the last resort. The first step towards amicably solving partnership disputes is to always hire a business attorney as highlighted below.
Hire a business attorney
If your company doesn't already have a company attorney, the first thing that you should do is to hire an experienced business attorney to help you with resolving the dispute and restoring calm in the company.
Here are some of the things that a business attorney will do to help solve the partnership dispute;
Determine the root of the dispute
The attorney will listen to both parties and determine the root cause of the partnership disputes. By singling out the cause of the dispute, the attorney will come up with a good strategy to amicably solve the dispute.
Establish how much the dispute has affected the company
The next step is for the attorney to take a look at magnitude of the effects of the dispute. If the dispute has caused any rift between employees of the company then the attorney will advise on the best mechanisms to bring the team back together.
Restructuring the partnership agreement
The next step will be for the attorney to help the shareholders or the involved parties to restructure the partnership agreement document if there was one previously and if there wasn't one, then the attorney will help the parties to draft one.
A shareholder agreement is a special corporate document which outlines the rights and responsibilities of all the shareholders who own a share of stock or equity in a public or private corporation. The document clearly outlines the duties of each and every shareholder and in a nutshell, the document outlines how the company will be operated.
Although shareholder agreements are not legal requirements for companies, they are very important not only to the proper running company but they help secure the company's future by preventing potential crisis which might arise. The two parties will then need to sign the new agreement and this will be the reference point whenever a dispute arises.
As earlier on mentioned the courts should be a last resort unless there is some sort of criminal activity involved in the partnership dispute. The best solution to partnerships is however hiring a seasoned business attorney to look into the matter and advise the two parties on the best steps to take to amicably resolve any dispute within the company.
Here at Toppins we offer the best legal services to businesses and companies in Houston and with the help of our well versed business attorneys, we will help you solve any partnership disputes in your company. Give us a call today or drop us an email with the details of your query and we will gladly be of service to you.

Our Mission
To support the evolution of consciousness by integrating the sacred into everyday life.
The universe is in a unified dance with itself. There is an eternal flow of sustenance coming from the Still point—the source of life itself—animating everything in creation. All of creation participates in this dance. In a life guided by Spirit, we draw sustenance from this source from deep within us—like water from an unending well—and we return that sustenance back out into the world through our gifts, service, and the quality of our hearts.
Western culture has been immersed in an exploration of the material world—a way of knowing based primarily on rationalism and the five senses—and with the boundaries, rights and limitations of the individual. This inquiry has brought both gift and shadow. We have seen progress in human rights, in the idea of world peace, in nonviolent protest, and in democracy. Large swaths of the planet have been knitted together through the internet. We have searched for the building blocks of the universe and given birth to quantum physics. We have gone to the moon, peered at an atom through a microscope and developed paradigms for mapping, sequencing, and interpreting genomes. At the same time, in our attempt to know and understand the world primarily through separation and differentiation, we have taken our planet to the brink of destruction, attempted to destroy indigenous people across the globe, and lost our direct experience of the truth of an interconnected universe.
Because of this, we often feel separate from the rest of creation and from the deepest substratum within our being. This is a fundamental cause of greed, and the root of the pathological relationship that the modern world has with itself. As a result, many of us do not feel nourished. Instead of trusting the life force that pulsates throughout existence, we feel alone, pulling ourselves up "from our own bootstraps." This is reflected in how we relate to the world, how we feel about ourselves, and how we perceive other forms of life. The interconnected substratum that runs through existence is at the core of who we are and is, therefore, accessible to all. Reconnecting to this substratum, we begin to rebuild trust in life itself, regardless of whether we are in a cycle of birth and growth or decay and death. In so doing, we awaken a greater sense of hope, joy, compassion and inner peace. As many of us do this kind of work, the field of interconnection itself reverberates with joy, and a profound healing takes place, not only within our own lives, but in the larger collective.
"Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. It doesn't matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again, come, come." -Rumi

About the Program
How it started...
Big Green Theater came out of a desire to create a program that brought local kids into our theater and offer them a unique and interactive learning opportunity in the neighborhood. We knew that we wanted to work with kids to create plays, but we also wanted to incorporate another element to make the program more unique. While attending monthly meetings with our local Community Board 4, we noticed a desire for improved environmental / health conditions in the community. This echoed our own interest in running a sustainable theater space, which over the years has grown to include an ultra-efficient LED worklight system (3D printed!), use of sustainable energy sources like wind and hydro power, recycled production materials, and green cleaning supplies. We decided to merge these two ideas and create a program that would teach kids about environmental issues and science while guiding them in creating their own plays to help spread the message. Professional actors would then perform these plays at our theater for the students and their families and the productions would be produced according to the tenants of Green Theater.
How it works...
Together with Superhero Clubhouse, we conduct a year-round after school program with local public elementary school students in Bushwick / Ridgewood to create short, original plays about community-based environmental topics.
These short plays are performed by the students at their schools in the Fall section of the program, and by a group of professional actors on a full technical scale at the Starr in the Spring. These young writers are able to see their work performed live— by their peers in the Fall and by adult professionals in the Spring— and enjoy the fulfillment of seeing their words and stories come to life.
In staging the plays, we ask the students, actors, directors, and designers to challenge themselves to work within the Green Theater movement; i.e: use recycled materials for sets, LED lighting, etc. This process educates our community and our artists about how to make work while thinking green.
The culminating performances are free and open to the public.
Why we do it...
One of our goals is to create opportunities for arts education in Bushwick where there is a need for creativity-based programs inside and outside of our local schools. We believe that arts organizations like ourselves have a responsibility to invest in future generations by providing them not only with first hand experience in creative endeavors, but with opportunities for artistic expression.
BGT is a highly interactive process that has a lasting effect on the student playwrights, their schools and families, and anyone who sees the performances.

Daesh's women wing revealed in Punjab
Daesh's women wing revealed in Punjab
Despite continuous denial of Pakistan's federal government Daesh's activities in Pakistan have been going on at a large scale and after the arrest of 8 Daesh's terrorists from Sialkot, a women wing of the terrorists organization has been revealed in Lahore. Wahhabi institutions and Wahhabi madaris have been hiring Wahhabis for Daesh. According to Express News, Superintendent of FBR has recorded his statement to intelligence agencies according to which his wife Farhana was in contact with Daesh and has also persuaded several people for joining the terror group. Sources told that when intelligence agencies raided at Wahdat colony of Lahore to arrest Farhana, she had left for Syria along with 10 other people. On the other hand, Foreign Office spokesperson Qazi Khaleel Ullah is of the opinion that Daesh has not yet gained foothold in Pakistan but some people have been individually using Daesh's name.
8 people were arrested from Sialkot few days ago allegedly for having links with Daesh and provincial law minister Rana Sanaullah officially verified that terrorists had established a cell. Few days prior to this, CTD's head Raja Umar Khattab had also revealed Daesh's active women wing in the city and said that some educated women of well-off families have been working on Daesh's agenda and raids had been conducted for their arrest.

Morning Resurrection Merchants. Upon arriving in a major city, before unpacking, or even checking in, I prefer to head straight for a makeshift freelance locksmiths. Mumbai is no exception. The frightfully helpful Globe-Trotter people have been kind enough to lend me a smart, black medium-large case to 'test' on our trip to the sub continent. My infallible jean ticket pocket key storage procedure appeared flawed on this occasion. I blame over zealous epauletted Heathrow accessory interventionists, but that, is another story...As The nearest G-T dealer was Delhi, I left The Luxury Missus reading Antoine Laurain and perspiring in her in-flight N.Peal by the pool, and travelled by motor rickshaw to a back street working district of town tipped as hopeful by my Mumbai contacts. Nothing beats a practical mission in a new city to get your integration up and running. Until you've visited the iron mongery district and run its perimeters you simply don't know a place.
My Mumbaidian, non-speaking guide took me to a workshop down dusty sunlit paths - competing for space with gangs of air conditioning units. They specialise in case handle repair and reconditioned trolley recycling. I plotted in the sun by a white marble crucifix, garlanded with orange flowers and leaking engine oil from its base, and settled in with a Romeo J, happy to be at least addressing key-loss head on.
Anticipating significant case surgery, possibly involving (gulps) lock-plasty, I was elevated to multiple finger slaps of joy when matey- in-check-in-charge having fumbled around in a pile of emptied fiddling metal bits and keys emerged after five minutes with a key. Bent, customised, distinctly non-standard, it opened the lock. Everyone seemed pleased. I was thrilled. Gotta love a positive improptu-luggage integration -know would have struggled in LDN for the same service. Bravo Mumbaidian bag operatives and thank you kindly .
So, the case report thus far: am very keen on the size, the operation of packing big and flat then sitting on the lid to close, and the locking system with straps. However defo' need an extending handle to walk in Car Shoes up-right/without stooping. Currently the orang-utan waddle this model solicits from me is severely holding back my travel stance. Breaking Trotter news is that the ones with the wheelie extender-handle will have that component made from wood from now on, not a horrid composite black plastic thing. Phew, yeah. People near the carousel in Mumbas liked the case a lot from the comments it garnered. I liked the look of the case on roof of our taxi too. The L.M. liked the case far much better once flung open and spewing bikinis and fancy shoes. I think I fancy the grey with burgundy straps/trim/corners when I finally purchase him but am also going straight on the ebay when I get a wi-fi signal to hunt for second-hand options. Having benefited from the pre-aged press loan cases on an incongruity level. Spanking new would be double wrong look in so, so many ports.
Stubbs is out of the usual Metropolis.

It's certainly not a hop, skip and a jump to get there. In fact it took a flight to Dublin, a two and a half hour drive across Ireland to a small airstrip outside of Galway and an eight minute flight in a tiny plane. But the absolute beauty of Inis Meáin is ts remoteness. You really can't go any further west in Europe. Next stop America.
Inis Meáin is the quietest of the three Aran Islands and at just 5km by 3km, with a mere 160 inhabitants, it's small. So it's remarkable to find a place like the beautifully designed Inis Meáin Restaurant & Suites which, when you first see it up close, looks totally out of place. Then you realise its design makes it sit perfectly camouflaged amidst the ornate drystone walls.
This restaurant and five suites is a true labour of love for its owners, husband and wife team, Ruairí and Marie-Thérèse de Blacam. They wanted to create a place that encapsulated the natural beauty of its surroundings, was sustainable and offered guests the ability to totally succumb to and enjoy the best of the island. The minimal suites are huge and feature lots of wood, limestone and wool. Nothing is there to distract you from the expansive views of landscape and sea from the wall-to-wall windows. But that doesn't mean the suites lack luxury. You have lovely linens on an enormous bed, alpaca throws, plenty of space to relax and a fridge stocked with snacks and even chilled champagne. Your suite is so well equipped you can be as private as you want.
One of the best bits is the innovative wooden breakfast box. Full of delicious goodies, it is delivered discreetly to your suite for you to devour at leisure, whilst taking in the changing view in front of you. There's none of this having to be down for breakfast at a set time.
A visit to the island is all about taking it easy and being at one with nature. Stay indoors and read that book you've been meaning to finish. Or explore the wild landscape on your doorstep. There are fishing rods by the door, bikes left outside for a ride and beach towels for a brisk dip in the wild Atlantic Ocean, if you're feeling brave enough. Whilst donning your hiking boots enables you to reach the less accessible coves and cliffs. Each day you are given a back pack with fresh soup and homemade bread, which together with leftovers from the rather large breakfast, means you can go out exploring all day, wandering for hours without seeing a soul.
The Island's natural beauty and remoteness has attracted many of the literary world. The renowned Irish Playwright, JM Synge, used to spend every summer in the same cottage, which you can visit.
The beach is absolutely stunning and Julian and I sat for hours watching seals frolic in the ocean.
There is just one pub on the island so, after a long day outside, you can relax with the locals over a pint of Guinness.
Ruairí grew up on the island where his parents set up the rather high end Inis Meáin Knitting Company, which has an excellent factory shop on the island....and of course Julian and I partook in some purchasing! After training as a chef, Ruairí decided to go back home and set up his own restaurant. The food is sensational. Local ingredients cooked simply, allowing you to taste the natural flavours. Lobsters are hoisted from the bay by fisherman in their traditional currahs. Vegetables are seasonal and grown onsite using Island seaweed as fertiliser. Bread is home baked using old family recipes. And I love the fact the humble vegetable is given its own course.
The island is a desolate beauty and pure escapism. You go there to slow down and recharge and it certainly worked for us in just a few days. But book early. Inis Meáin Restaurant & Suites is only open between March and September and is already 80% booked for 2018!

It's one of the most puzzling, difficult claims in the Bible, especially for Christians, and we get to hear it every First Sunday of Advent, which is also the First Sunday of the liturgical Christian New Year. Woo hoo, the new leg of the faith journey sure gets off with a bang each and every time!
I'm talking about Jesus' insistence that His "Second Coming" will take place before His original generation of followers has died. Every First Sunday of Advent the gospel lectionary text is one of Jesus' 'apocalyptic speeches' containing the good and sure news that the world will end before the end of the first century CE.
This years "First Sunday" gospel text was Mark 13:24-37. It includes Jesus bold assertion that "…this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place." These referred-to "things" include "the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory, …send(ing) out the angels, and gather(ing) his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven." (13:30)
Ya know, that could put a dent in one's merry Christmas (and of course austere Advent) spirit as they prepare to raise the roof in praise for the coming of the long-awaited Messiah, King of King, Lord of Lords, Prince of Peace and Hope of the World only to be made aware, right off the bat, that when the Son of God grows up He's going to be, well, …wrong.
Christian theologians and writers from the earliest times have struggled to know what to do with Jesus' apparent miscalculation. As the second generation of believers came on the scene it looks like the gospels were expanded to include Jesus' teaching there may be a delay in His return and all must faithfully wait and pray.
In fact, but a few lines after his stunning (mis)prediction in Mark, Jesus says, "But about that day or hour no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (13:32)
Maybe Jesus is here…hedging His bets??
Beloved Christian thinker and writer C.S. Lewis, in one of his latest works, The World's Last Night: And Other Essays (1960) wrestled with all of this and concluded, "The one exhibition of error and the one confession of ignorance grow side by side … the facts, then, are these: that Jesus professed himself ignorant [by claiming a wrong time of return], and within a moment showed that he really was so [by not knowing the day or time]. To believe in the Incarnation, to believe that he is God, makes it hard to understand how he could be ignorant; but also makes it certain that, if he said he could be ignorant, then ignorant he could really be. For a God who can be ignorant is less baffling than a God who falsely professes ignorance" (p. 97)
Of course, it ruffles the feathers of MANY that God (Jesus) could be suggested to be ignorant, even if it comes from the pen of one of the faith's most beloved thinkers and writers. Mr. Lewis did acknowledge in any case, Mark 13:30 is "certainly the most embarrassing verse of the Bible." (ibid)
With that in mind, might/how might our understanding of this "most embarrassing" text be aided if we look at it through comic lenses?
For one thing, from the comic perspective, a Jesus flub (and there is more than one, imho) is always a good thing! It "lowers" Jesus' otherwise extremely high status and brings Him more integrally into the universe of clowns, crazies, children and crones with which the Bible, from a comic perspective, is filled. If Jesus is right all the time, He remains distant to us; Jesus' flaws bring Him, and the God He fully embodies, close, and colorfully so.
Plus, we learn more from a Son of Man who is, surprisingly, a lot like us. God never stops loving Jesus one iota whether He misspeaks or not (and then hedges His bets!); maybe that's supposed to teach us that God loves us in spite of and through our mistakes and misinterpretations. Especially as we then seek to ameliorate them when we realize we've been off-base.
In addition, it could very well be that although Jesus was convinced His Second Coming would be super-dramatic like all the predicted Messianic Second Comings of His day were imagined to be, maybe His return – the real deal – was something quite different and unexpected. As pal, former President of Claremont School of Theology and President of Common Cause, the late Rev. Dr. Bob Edgar, once told me, "Maybe Jesus' resurrection was really His Second Coming."
Maybe His return – God's return - after dying on the unimaginably horrible and shameful cross, was the act that broke the Empire's evil hold on life and, subversively, ushered in God's Realm. Jesus may not – like we may not – have thought that was big deal enough, so He/we found/find all sorts of reasons why the Second Coming with all the bells and whistles is still on its way.
We can, however, joyfully and knowingly laugh as we hear Jesus' gaffe at Mark 13:30 much like we'd joyfully and knowingly laugh if we heard the guy who invented Post-it notes go on and on about how next time he WILL invent the permanent adhesive he'd been tasked to create.
Finally (or in addition to the addition), by becoming aware right off the bat -- on the First Sunday of Advent/the Christian New Year -- that the One who we follow and through whom we find salvation is the Son of God, but not foolproof, adds to His mystery. Yes, Jesus' flub makes Him more like us but also less like the fantasy of how God-With-Us should look and act. It becomes more imperative than ever that we drop our assumptions about the Divine and be open to the unexpected.
Like an audience who's heard the set up for a joke and awaits the punch line, knowing it's going to startle, amuse, delight and engender the beloved community that laughter always does – that's how Advent, from the comic lens, should prepare us for Christ's coming. Thankfully, Mark 13:30 sure gets the ball rolling!

…Mueller subpoenas Trump Organization. Treasury sanctions Russian trolls. iHeart BK. Winn-Dixie BK. Congress wants to make life easier for bankers. Wells Fargo, again…
Financial Review by Sinclair Noe for 03-15-2018
It was just a strange day on Wall Street. The Dow Industrial Average snapped a 3-day losing streak but closing well off the session highs – the Dow had been up almost 300 points. McDonald's gained 2.1% to lead the Dow stocks. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq dropped. The S&P 500 Index notched its longest losing streak of 2018 — four days. Two of four FANG stocks lost ground. Chip stocks moved lower. Pipeline stocks plunged after the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ruled that master-limited partnerships can no longer recover a key income-tax allowance. New White House Economic Advisor-appointee Larry Kudlow signaled support for a strong dollar and took a tough line on China. Gold declined after Kudlow said he'd sell the metal and buy the greenback, which gained.
Special counsel Robert Mueller is demanding documents from the Trump Organization, the first known time he has subpoenaed documents directly related to any of Trump's businesses. The breadth of the subpoena was not clear, nor was it clear why Mueller issued it instead of simply asking for the documents from the company, an umbrella organization that oversees Trump's business ventures. Word of the subpoena comes as Mueller appears to be broadening his investigation to examine the role foreign money may have played in funding Trump's political activities. In recent weeks, investigators have questioned witnesses, including an adviser to the United Arab Emirates, about the flow of Emirati money into the United States.
The Treasury Department unveiled new sanctions against five entities and 19 individuals. Most of the people have ties to the Internet Research Agency, the "troll farm" that was indicted last month by Special Counsel Robert Mueller as part of his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 elections. Thirteen of the IRA-linked individuals on Treasury's list were indicted by Mueller, whose indictment described the IRA as the nexus of a large-scale Russian effort to influence the election via social media. The IRA itself is also on the sanctions list, as is Russia's main intelligence agency and several individuals who work there. The sanctions will prevent the named entities from entering the US, and will freeze any assets they have on American soil. The steps announced by the Treasury Department represented the most significant taken against Moscow since Trump assumed office. The United States also joined Britain, Germany and France in demanding that Russia explain a military-grade nerve toxin attack in England on a former Russian double agent, and Trump said "it certainly looks like the Russians were behind" the incident.
Initial U.S. jobless claims declined by 4,000 to 226,000 in the seven days ended March 10, clinging to a 50-year low.
Both the Philly Fed and Empire State manufacturing indexes were well above zero indicating improving conditions. Both district reported continued high input prices.
Meanwhile, the import price index rose 0.4% in February following an even sharper increase in January, reflecting the higher costs Americans are paying for foreign goods and services. Import prices, inflated by the yearlong decline in the dollar, continue to offer what may prove to be an early indication of price pressures. Excluding petroleum, import prices rose 0.5 percent for a second straight month which is very hot.
The National Association of Home Builders' monthly confidence gauge ticked down one point to a reading of 70 in March. The sub-gauge that measures views on current sales conditions was unchanged at 77, but the measure of sales over the next six months dipped two points to 78. The index of buyer traffic fell three points to 51. Any reading over 50 signals improving conditions.
Chipmaker Broadcom reported better-than-expected quarterly profit and revenue on strong demand for its chips from smartphone makers. Broadcom, whose WiFi chips are found in Apple's iPhone and most Android phones, scrapped its hostile bid for rival Qualcomm on Wednesday after Trump blocked the attempt citing national security concerns. However, the company said it will continue with its plans to redomicile to the United States.
Alibaba moved higher on reports it's considering a stock listing in China; Williams-Sonoma gained as the kitchen and housewares company beat on earnings and revenue and issued upbeat forward guidance; and Barnes & Noble shares climbed higher as the bookseller declared a quarterly dividend of 15 cents per share and said it expects growth in the coming fiscal year.
Dollar General scored the top advance among S&P 500 stocks, rising nearly 5% after reporting in-line earnings and weaker-than-expected revenue for Q4, but offering strong guidance, raising its dividend and launching a $1 billion stock buyback.
Sears Holdings jumped 17 percent in late trading after posting a rare quarterly profit. Net income amounted to $182 million in the fourth quarter, compared with a $607 million loss a year earlier, Sears got a roughly $470 million boost from the federal tax changes, which slashed corporate rates.
The operator of the biggest U.S. radio broadcaster, iHeart Media filed for bankruptcy protection after months of negotiations with creditors on restructuring a balance sheet weighed down by $20 billion of debt taken on when the company was taken private in a 2008 leveraged buyout by Bain Capital.
Southeastern Grocers, the company that owns Winn-Dixie, plans to file for bankruptcy and close 94 stores. The Florida-based company said it's implementing "a court-supervised, prepackaged" debt restructuring agreement. It said it intends to file with the bankruptcy court by the end of March. The company, which also owns Bi-Lo, Fresco y Más and Harveys Supermarket, will continue to operate 582 stores.
The Senate passed bipartisan legislation Wednesday night easing bank rules that were enacted after the financial crisis to prevent a relapse. The Senate voted 67-31 for a bill that would scale back provisions of the law known as Dodd-Frank. While it is designed to ease the burden on small community banks, it will also benefit larger regional banks and credit-reporting agencies. The House has already passed more expansive legislation. Now, lawmakers will try to work out a compromise that both chambers can support. The deregulation push illustrates a role reversal for the banking industry. In the aftermath of the 2008 meltdown, they were villainized. Now they're casting themselves as the victims of government regulation run amok.
U.S. regulators are preparing to sanction Wells Fargo for receiving commissions on auto insurance policies it helped force on more than half a million drivers. In July, Wells Fargo blamed a third-party vendor for wrongly layering insurance policies on its auto borrowers. Wells Fargo did not explain that it received payouts when those policies were written. The fact that Wells Fargo stood to profit from the insurance program will form the backbone of fresh sanctions against the bank. Meanwhile, Wells Fargo Chief Executive Tim Sloan took over last year after John Stumpf was fired in October 2016. The Federal Reserve in February imposed a cap on the lender's balance sheet until it improves governance, and Wells pledged a refresh of its board. Sloan got a 35% raise, a salary bump of about $4.6 million because…
An investor sued Credit Suisse, alleging that bank misstatements about a complex product betting on stock market swings led to losses for people who bought in at inflated prices. A popular product offered by the bank and linked to expectations of future price swings, or volatility, in the S&P 500 stock index sank by more than 90 percent over a few hours last month following a stock market selloff. Credit Suisse later took the product, once worth $1.6 billion and known as the VelocityShares Daily Inverse VIX Short-Term Exchange-Traded Note, off the market. The lawsuit alleges Credit Suisse "manipulated" the notes by liquidating its holdings in various financial products to avoid a loss.
Prices of major cryptocurrencies saw a sharp downward slide Thursday, amid closer regulatory scrutiny on the space and after Google announced plans to ban advertising related to the sector.
Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency by market cap, traded as low as $7,676. A number of factors have weighed on the price of cryptocurrencies. The first major one was selling by the trustees of collapsed Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Mt.Gox. It closed in 2014 and filed for bankruptcy after losing around 850,000 bitcoins. A trustee of the now-defunct exchange has been selling large amounts of bitcoin that the exchange still owned in order to pay back creditors. This has been hitting the price of bitcoin. Meanwhile, Google announced it was banning cryptocurrency-related advertising, including initial coin offerings (ICOs), wallets and trading advice.

Meet Our Goddess Of The Week: Kamil Oshundara
An insightful look at what it means to connect to the Divine archetype of Goddess.
Meet AZUL artist and majestic jewelry designer from Los Angeles, CA.
Celebrate the energy of tonight's Super Moon In Taurus with a divine ritual + tarot meditation! Read More...
Name: My name is Diamond Dorris, but everyone calls me Di.
Location: I'm currently in Los Angeles, Ca, but I'm from San Jose, Ca. Gotta put on for the bay.
Astrological Sign/rising: My sun sign is Aries, rising is Gemini, and moon is Leo. If it sounds like a handful, it is, and this is coming from the person living the life firsthand.
Occupation: I am still working on my Ph.D. and opening my own private practice as an herbalist/nutritionist. I have a blog, lovethediosa.com, and keep in touch with my audience on Twitter & Instagram between it all. My plan is building my brand right now. The last year it has completely taken off. Whether beauty, fitness, love, or health tips, I think it's super cool that people value my advice. That means a lot. I recently realized that people also want to pay me to take photos of me modeling or wearing their stuff. I didn't see that one coming, especially being seen as the tomboy in corduroy overalls and sweat suits growing up, but here we are haha.
Which Goddess or Goddess Archetype do you most identify with and why?
Aja is my inspiration and my life. She's a healer, and herbalist/botanist. She was all about wildlife, and everything green. She usually didn't come across humans often, but when a human finally met her, they were swept away. Literally, Her entire being was overwhelming in the most positive way. Completely enchanted, they always returned stronger, and better than when she found them. She's not meant to be forgotten. She was more about teaching people so they could help themselves. She's all about growth, the elements, and oneness of the planet.
How do you get in touch with/unleash your inner goddess? By creating. Women are capable of doing some powerful things. We literally are given one cell to work with by men, and the return investment is a baby. An entire child! That's unheard of! But I'm one of those extraordinary creatures with this power. The power to make something out of basically nothing seen by the naked eye. To use tools overlooked, or seen as inefficient, and useless. I make it all come together. Whether I give birth to a new idea, a dream, or a child (one day), I'm constantly creating. When I'm in the zone, no one can touch me. No one.
What is your Goddess superpower? I think one thing people tend to find out about me pretty quickly is that I am the one with visions and dreams. I hated it most of my life because some dreams were just terrible. I just wanted to be "normal", but looking back I am grateful for all the amazing dreams given to me. I have told both of my aunties they were pregnant before they found out, including one who was just told she had a miscarriage. Imagine, how crazy I looked telling a woman that was told she miscarried that she was actually pregnant. My dreams even saved my dad's life once. My dreams have shown me the next steps in my life, if I need to slow down or speed up, etc. Sometimes my dreams are just me and my subconscious just chilling and figuring things out. I even visit people when I'm not too lazy
Will You join us in the sacred twerk circle? I will bring the waka, juvie and webbie. I was born to do this. Do not play. Iso buttcheek twerk and whine is on 100%.
What is an inspiring quote/passage/ that you would like to share with other women & younger goddesses? : I came across this passage a few years ago & it changed me forever by Rafael Espitia Perea:
"A goddess is a woman who emerges from deep within herself. She is a woman who has honestly explored her darkness and learned to celebrate her light. She is a woman who is able to fall in love with the magnificent possibilities within her. She is a woman who knows of the magic and mysterious places inside her, the sacred places that can nurture her soul and make her whole. She is a woman who radiates light. She is magnetic. She walks into a room and male and female alike feel her presence. She has power and softness at the same time.
She has powerful sexual energy that's not dependent on physical looks. She has a body that she adores and it shows by the way she comfortably lives and moves in it. She cherishes beauty, light and love. She is a mother to all children. She flows with life in effortless grace. She can heal with a look or a touch of the hand. She is fiercely sensual and fearlessly erotic and engages in sex as her way to share with another in touching the divine. She is compassion and wisdom. She is seeker of Truth and cares deeply about something bigger than herself. She is a woman who knows that her purpose in life is to reach higher and rule with love. She is woman in love with love.
She knows that joy is her destiny and by embracing it and sharing it with others, wounds are healed. She is a woman who has come to know that her partner is as tender, lost, and frightened as she has been at times. She has come to understand the scars of the boy in him and knows that together, love can be the relief, the healing of their wounds.
She is a woman who can accept herself as she is. She can accept another as they are. She is able to forgive her mistakes and not feel threatened by another's even when attacked. She is a woman who can ask for help when she needs it or give help when asked. She respects boundaries, hers and another's.
She can see God in another's eyes.
She can see God in her own.
She can see God in every life situation.
She is woman who takes responsibility for everything she creates in her life.
She is a woman who is totally supportive and giving.
She is a Goddess."
The Goddess manifests in many forms, some of which shatter common stereotypes of womanhood. Goddess Of The Week was created to give inspiring women from various paths a platform to share their magic. Healers, Artists, Creatives, and Witches; all making a difference by tapping into the divine and sharing their skills and gifts with the world.
Explore the voices, rituals, and divinity of Black Girl In Om's magical Issue 003: Spirituality. In this special issue Thehoodwitch.com 's founder Bri Luna discusses her personal journey, Goddess archetypes, energy clearing, and celebrating life by the cycles of the moon.

Meet Our Goddess Of The Week: Rachel Rabbit White.
Name: Rachel Smith
Location: Chicago
Astrological Sign: Gemini
Occupation: I'm a visual artist (acrylic painting/ watercolor), a nature photographer, and seamstress!
Which Goddess or Goddess Archetype do you most identify with and why?
I most identify with two Goddesses: Yemaya and Oshun. Seeing how I have a deep connection to water and aquatic life, it's befitting that I would see myself in these two Goddesses. Yemaya is the mother of the ocean. She invokes these feelings of self-acceptance, unconditional love, and nurturing for all. While Oshun represents everything I am now. She is romance, healing, magick (witchcraft), and beauty. Yemaya is who I aspire to be, Oshun is my present. Although, I don't see myself gaining Yemaya's maternal instincts anytime soon, haha!
How do you get in touch with/unleash your inner goddess?
Locking myself in the bathroom and taking long hot showers. Being in water, just opens this door within me that allows for my healing to take place. I'm pretty big on rituals nowadays so lighting white or blue candles and burning incense helps set the mood for my goddess to unleash. I can sit in the water for hours, talking to myself. Yes, I totally talk to myself just like everyone else. But it's more like I am speaking with my Goddess, my guides,my oracles, my mermaids, who are essentially within me. During these times, I hear their voices as if they are my own thoughts and it brings me clarity.
What is your Goddess superpower?
That's so hard, but I'll have to go with healing. Emotional and verbal healing. I've always had this ability to say the right words during the right moments, and in turn activating this spark within the people who listen. A spark that opens up something within them that's been closed for so long. I don't think there's a word for it but being able to speak these magical words that could help others. It's all the work of my Goddesses, speaking through me I suppose!
Will You join us in the sacred twerk circle?
YES! I'm all for women reclaiming the sacred twerk. With wombs dancing in unison, and hearts racing as one!

Rebuilding Conda binaries
The binaries were built on a Scientific Linux 6.5 (Carbon). The default GCC (4.4.7) is too old for ROOT6, so we used the Developer Toolset (v2) from CERN. It provides everything you need to rebuild from the recipes: gcc/binutils/git/etc.. If you really want to rebuild or update the Anaconda binaries (typically not needed as we try keep them updated), you can:
use a VM: pickup a VirtualBox image from here, or create your own based on the ISO images from here. Check this guide for instructions on creating a VM.
Much easier: Docker image ready with the Developer Toolset (v2), cmake and Anaconda installed. To use it, install Docker and do:
docker pull nlesc/slc6-devtoolset-anaconda docker run --rm -ti -e MYUID=$UID nlesc/slc6-devtoolset-anaconda /bin/bash git clone https://github.com/NLeSC/root-conda-recipes/
In general, to be able to build conda packages, you need to have the conda-build package installed (already available if you are using the Docker image):
conda install conda-build
From the top directory of this cloned github repository of recipes, building a package is as easy as:
conda build ./directory-of-package-recipe
For packages which depend on Python (e.g., ROOT), you need to build a separate binary for each Python version you want to provide. Simply pass the CONDA_PY variable to the same command:
CONDA_PY={python-version} conda build ./directory-of-package-recipe
Remember, you need to build separately each such binary.
For packages which depend on ROOT (e.g., root-numpy), you need to, in addition, pass the ROOT version against which they should be build. For example:
CONDA_PY=3.4 ROOT_VERSION=5.34 conda build ./root-numpy

This is Us.
Boden Construction, LLC was born in 1972 when Don Bodensteiner began building homes in the Black Hills. As the years passed his sons joined him and Boden Construction truly became a family business. Don eventually retired and passed the reins to his eldest son, Jon, and his younger brother, Adam, worked alongside him. The two brothers, who were not only brothers and coworkers, but friends, worked together to ensure that the family business lived on. Then in 2013, Jon, an amazing husband, father, son, brother and all-around person, tragically passed away and the time came for Adam to attempt to fill his shoes.
In the ensuing years Boden Construction transitioned from a business primarily focused on building spec homes to a sought after custom homebuilder in Rapid City and the surrounding hills. Utilizing the knowledge he gained through years of working with both his brother and father, Adam and his crew play an integral role in the homebuilding process and they do it with patience and honesty. So, despite the changes, at its heart, Boden Construction remains a family business that continues to rely on the support and strength of our entire family.

On Wednesday night, the Franklin Institute welcomed the Eik Sande, a 32-foot-long reconstructed Viking ship. Inquirer and Daily News photographer Tom Gralish was there to capture the installation. The 1,100-pound ship will be suspended from the ceiling of the central atrium of the museum for the duration of an exhibit, Vikings: Beyond the Legend, that opens on Oct. 13.
Vikings is a collection of 600 artifacts on loan from the National Museum of Denmark to provide a more accurate portrayal of Vikings as artisans, farmers, traders, and explorers. The Eik Sande, which represents exploration in Viking history and culture, was reconstructed in the Viking Ship Museum's boatyard using the same techniques as were used during the Viking Age, without a saw. This will be the exhibit's North American premiere. It closes on March 3, 2019.
