Origin Romy Chandler began her law enforcement career as a FBI cadet, but she never saw it through after been warned off by actual agents that the job was more paperwork than anything else. Romy was a black belt martial artist and did not want a career where she would be stuck at a desk most of the time. She then joined the Gotham City Police Department, where she rose to the rank of detective and was handpicked by Commissioner Gordon to join the Major Crimes Unit, where she was partnered with Nate Patton. Creation Romy Chandler by Ed Brubaker, Greg Rucka and Michael Lark as part of the cast of Gotham Central, a series focusing on the police of Gotham City. Major Story Arcs In the Line of Duty When Mr. Freeze murdered Detective Charlie Fields, the case of kidnapping victim Bonnie Lewis was left in the air. It was the case that Fields and his partner Marcus Driver had been working on when they inadvertently crossed paths with Mr. Freeze. Romy Chandler worked with Driver to solve Fields' final case, which got worse as Bonnie Lewis' body turned up dead. It quickly became clear that the kidnapping and ransom clues were just a diversion for a murder. Detectives Chandler and Patton Just when it seemed they had burnt up all their leads, Chandler and Driver took a harder look at the married couple Bonnie babysat for. Also, a connection was found between their case and the Firebug case Sarge and Patton were working. They determined that the husband was the new Firebug and killed Bonnie after the girl stumbled upon his Firebug gear while babysitting. The case was closed. but Chandler and Driver were not done with each other. They had grown close in the few days it took to solve the case and soon began a secret relationship, or as secret as a relationship could be when surrounded by detectives. Soft Targets Molina lives, Patton dies In the days leading up to Christmas, the Joker went on a killing spree of Gotham City officials, putting a scare into the whole population. He then abducted television reporter Angie Molina and turned himself in to the G.C.P.D., letting them know he left her with a bomb that was counting down at they spoke. As they searched for Molina, it was Chandler who realized the Joker's gag. By turning himself in, he made the people few safe enough to go back outside and resume their Christmas shopping, which meant Molina and the bomb were probably in the back room of a toy store. Chandler's instinct was right. She and Patton found Molina in the back of a toy store with a bomb counting down from four minutes. It wasn't enough time for the bomb squad arrived. Chandler evacuated the store while Patton worked on freeing Molina from her chains. There was not enough time. Batman swooped in to save Molina as the bomb exploded. Chandler rushed in to the burning ruins to find Patton badly hurt and see Batman taking Molina to safety. Tragically, Patton's injuries were too severe. He never regained consciousness and after three months was taken off life support. Chandler resented Batman for not saving him. Dead Robin Romy shot Batman When the dead body of a boy dressed up like Robin turned up in an alley, the whole Major Crimes Unit was stirred up into a frenzy to find out what was going on. Chandler, still angry at Batman for Patton's death, insisted that he should be the prime suspect. She and her new partner, Takahata, went to the Iceberg Lounge to question the Penguin only to find that Batman had beat them to it. Chandler stormed into the office to find Batman looming over a beaten Penguin. Demanding that he freeze, Chandler shot him when he refused. Takahata caught up to find her standing in shock and Batman lying on the floor. However, Batman's body armor took the bullet just fine, because he quickly got back up, disarmed Chandler and broke her nose. Shooting Batman was bad enough, but she had also lost her service weapon. The whole situation spelled doom for her career when Captain Sawyer found out. Fortunately, Stacy was able to get the gun back from Robin, along with the warning from Batman to not shoot him again.

JAVA WITH JOE presents
the view from the bottom
10 days of digging into the beatitudes
day 10
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you [falsely] because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.
Jesus said: If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you. Remember the word I spoke to you, 'No slave is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. What could the people who are persecuting us possibly take from us - the Kingdom of Heaven is ours. When you seek to be righteous, to do God's will, you will be persecuted.
John 15:18-20
Friends, the beatitudes are promises of blessing. They're roadmaps to a deeper peace and joy than the world can offer. But if the beatitudes teach us anything, it's that we're living for more than this world. Our home is somewhere else.
The Ten Ten Group is on a mission to unleash your potential to be fully alive. Thanks for joining us on this journey through the beatitudes. Be blessed, be at peace.

Jesus tells us to forgive, not once, not twice, but seventy times seven. That's a lot of hurts to be forgiven. Sometimes deep hurts, sometimes small insults – like what my dearest friend said unwittingly which bent my feelers just because – or perceived injustices. Often the forgiveness is spoken, and as often, at least for me, unspoken: open my hands and let it go.
But I know a woman, two women really, for whom forgiveness was the watershed event in their lives. The first was my mother. The other is a woman my mother led me to after she died.
A German Jew born in 1925, my mother grew up in a comfortable middle-class home, religious to the extent of observing the Sabbath and the high holidays, yet completely assimilated. Part of a close-knit circle of friends, both classmates and family friends, she certainly never imagined that the life she knew could be torn out from under her.
But by the age of twelve she was barred from attending her school, and her father's business, a high-end men's apparel store, had been vandalized. She found herself on a boat to England to enroll in a boarding school for two more years. During those years her family (father and mother, a sister and twin brothers) took what minimal currency they were allowed and fled to Uruguay, settling in Montevideo, where she joined them two years later. Not long after her arrival, her forty-two-year old father died of a heart attack. Being businessman-turned-farmer (a small agricultural venture outside the city) proved too much for him; and on top of that, his "partner" had swindled him out of his savings.
The author's mother (L) with some boarding school friends in England
Dark years followed, during which my grandmother was scarcely able to care for her four children. My mother had to work, eventually saving enough to allow her to return to night school while continuing day-time employment in an office. But this regimen undermined her health, and formal education had to go by the wayside. When the curtain lifted over post-World War II Germany and newsreels revealed the horror that had taken life as she knew it – and the lives of her grandparents and every single one of her childhood friends – she turned her back on the God of her childhood.
Marriage to my father, also a Holocaust survivor, posed the doubled-edged question "Why were we saved when six million other Jews were not?" For many people, time softens heartache, but for my mother the opposite was happening. As they went through their own version of survivor's guilt, her hurt turned to bitterness and pain into anger. She did not want to be either bitter or angry, but she did not know an alternative.
The birth of their first child brought joy, comfort, and hope, and not long after, their path crossed with that of the Bruderhof in Paraguay. Confronted with Christ's message of peace and unity among all people, they found the answer they were looking for. It was only several years later, however, that the issue of forgiveness arose. One day it dawned on her: she would never be able to forgive her families' executioners until she was able to see that despite their guilt they were nevertheless fellow human beings.
In her words: "Trembling, I looked into my own heart and found seeds of hatred there too. Arrogant thoughts, feelings of irritation toward others, coldness, anger, envy. And indifference. These are the roots of what happened in Nazi Germany. As I recognized, more clearly than ever before, that I myself stood in desperate need of forgiveness, I was able to forgive, and finally I felt completely free." So I knew this about my mother, that she had "forgiven the Nazis." And as every child takes her parents for granted, so I did, too.
My mother was a modest woman, and did not make any fanfare or crusade about this act of forgiveness. It was between her and her God, the God of her people, and she did not speak easily of her Jewish roots. Not out of shame, but rather from a deep reverence for the religious background which had laid the path to her own recognition of Christ as the Messiah, and from an affirmation of the Apostle Paul's words, "In Christ there is neither Jew nor Gentile" (Gal. 3:28). Then she died. Too soon for all of us, much too soon for me, something I was to find out the hard way years later.
This is just the beginning; check back in two weeks for the conclusion to Carmen's story, and find out who her second example of hard-won forgiveness is.Comments

"To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind." Ecclesiastes 2:26 NIV
Read: Ecclesiastes 2:17-26
A television news anchor once quipped; "The only thing I have ever succeeded at was failing!" With that once sentence, we saw for a brief moment the sad disappointment he saw in himself. Being Known by hundreds of thousands, maybe millions did not bring him happiness. Making over a third of a million dollars a year did not make him happy. The trust viewers placed in him did not make him happy.
We might just say; 'you just can't make some people happy'. In truth, you can't make anyone happy. At the same time, no one else can make you happy. World success of fame or wealth will not make you happy. They may brighten your mood for a short time, but the false happiness will fade.
So, what makes you happy? In scripture, we find happiness comes from GOD. That should not surprise us. Everything comes from GOD. Abraham's success came from GOD. Joseph was successful in Egypt because he was faithful to GOD. David's success was delivered by GOD.
Are you working 12 hour days to earn more money so you will be happy? Are you working to be a success while your marriage is failing? Are you making more money to buy your kids the latest devices and clothes, yet they are respecting you less as a parent? Did you buy the newest car or truck and found you are still driving in the same old rut? Is success ruining your happiness?
Turn it all over to JESUS. Get rid of the rat race. Find comfort in the time you spend reading GOD'S WORD everyday. Find success in taking an early evening walk with your spouse. Find success in listening to your kids' screams of excitement while you play a board game with them. Find success in helping serve your church as a leader or teacher. Find success in a quiet prayer with your LORD.
Today's prayer: "JESUS MY LORD, Thank you for your patience with me as I struggle in this life. Help me to spend more time with you learning to succeed as you would have me do. Amen."

Artistic Statement
Influenced by pioneers like Michael Angelo and DaVinci to modern day artists such as Chaz Bojorquez and Graffiti writer El Mac, Michel's painting style is indicative of the marriage of this aerosol renaissance.
Beginning each piece as an opportunity to combine fresh and untried ideas through mixtures of mediums such as acrylics, oils, and aerosol long with aspects of technique, scale, and dimension, each production is a balancing act hovering between experiment and disaster. His style can be described as abstract expressionism; he captures the subject by creating an emotional impact by bold use of colors and drawing a poignant connection between the painting and its audience.
Artist Bio
Michel Cruz is an up and coming studio artist who was born in Mexico City and raised in Los Angeles, California. He has been drawing and sketching since the age of 4 years old, inspired by an overactive imagination fueled by his early fascination with comic books and cartoons. Michel's passion for art grew as he became enthralled with the outbreak of street graffiti murals and the hieroglyphic letter styles of Chicano street tags. Michel's more recent work was his Truly Yours...Revamped gallery show which showcased a series of mural sized 3-D installation pieces on canvas.
Michel paints under the name Res818, a childhood tag that uses the last 3 letters of his last name. He currently resides in Dallas, Texas with his son.

The essence of my work lies primarily within the complete understanding of a fabric or material. From understanding a textile's inherent characteristics, from their structure and the way they are knitted, woven or formed, to the yarns used in their construction, an intuitive sense is able to develop. It is this affinity with the cloth that informs possible capabilities and potential for manipulation, and subsequently my creations.-Rowan Mersh
Here is a hodge podge of photos from some of my favorite collections on Rowan Mersh's website. His work is magically complex and stunning to stare at. Yes, I have been staring all day and it took everything inside of me not to post every single sculpture I saw on his site. And guess what? He's in his 20's, I think he's 26! Much talent for such a young lad! Apparantly, he also makes jewelry.
OMG, it's so pretty!

10 Most Lovely Beaches In The Philippines

With the intention to do this, assemble all the clothing you think you will want throughout your holiday, before you start packing.

WW1 Remembrance Sculptures
19th November 2018
As part of our KS3 half termly theme on World War 1 Remembrance, pupils have been using the artwork 'The Wave' (designed and created by Tom Piper and Paul Cummins) as inspiration for the development of a permanent piece of remembrance art. Staff were also invited to produce a ceramic poppy, to create whole school collaborative work of art.
The poppies formed the centrepiece of our remembrance service last week, led by Father Andrew Howard, our local vicar and Academy Governor. They will be placed in their new permanent home, within our courtyard garden, this week.
This week, the pupils are visiting the Imperial War Museum North to view The Wave in real life and further their understanding about the history and implications of WW1.

Plans have been submitted for a brand new £6.3 million office development in the heart of Derby city centre on part of a site formerly occupied by the Prince's supermarket.
Bondholder Jensco Group has lodged plans with fellow Bondholder Derby City Council for the four-storey building in Bold Lane, which will contain 34,000 sq ft of high specification office space.
If given the go-ahead, the development, known as Six Bold Lane, could bring more than 300 jobs to the city centre.
Speaking about the Six Bold Lane project, Nigel Bobroff, director at Jensco, said: "We aim to deliver what will be an important destination building for Derby. It will be a high quality, sustainable development.
"The city council has been very proactive in the regeneration of key sites within the city centre and we are delighted to be involved in this particular project.
"In terms of its design, the building borrows some elements of the neighbouring Sadler Bridge Studios. The office space will be flexible and will be able to house a number of businesses.
"It is in a prime location, near to shops and restaurants, who should feel the economic benefits of having hundreds more people working in the city centre."
John Forkin, Managing Director at Marketing Derby commented: "Central Derby desperately needs more good quality office space and we are delighted that Derby City Council is driving this scheme forward."
"We first met Jensco ten years ago at a Marketing Derby Embassy event, and since then they have had an excellent track record in developing innovative city centre schemes."
It would be constructed next to Sadler Bridge Studios business centre and the building neighbouring the development site, the current 6 Bold Lane, would be demolished.
The city council is driving the latest Bold Lane project, after identifying a shortfall in top quality office space in the city centre that is currently in demand.
Up until now, the city council has provided smaller managed workspace at seven locations across the city - including Sadler Bridge Studios - which are all managed by Connect Derby.
In February, the authority's cabinet approved an initial £654,000 to get the Bold Lane office project under way.
The authority is borrowing most of the money for the project. It intends to recoup that cash from renting out the space, creating a building that will generate income from businesses renting space and over time become "self-sustaining".
After the money was approved, Jensco was announced as the city council's development partner for the Bold Lane project in August - with the brief of designing and delivering a scheme that would provide larger, Grade A office space in the city centre.
Jensco, which is a specialist private property company, has a proven track record of delivering new developments in Derby.
It is the company behind One Friar Gate Square, an office development on the corner of Agard Street and Ford Street, which is currently home to the University of Derby's Law School.
This year, it completed the neighbouring Agard Court scheme, a 236-bed student accommodation building.
Mr Bobroff said that once planning consent is secured he hoped that they will be able to move onto site in early 2019 and have it ready to bring to market by early 2020.

Integrative medicine promotes gut health because gut health is good health!
All Disease Starts in the Gut
Gut Bugs — New Medical Revolution Crucial to Health
Hippocrate's declaration, all disease starts in the gut, is as true today as it was 2000 years ago. Why? It has to do with our gut bacteria, known as our microbiome. Microbiome influences all aspects of our health.
Prescription drugs can be a cruel barrier to good gut health. Here are the facts, you decide…
- over 80% of our immune system is made in the gut
- 80-90% of serotonin is made in the gut
- the gut is the major source of inflammation in the body
- number of bacteria in the gut are ten times more than all the cells of entire body
- bacteria have DNA that influences our own DNA expression
In the near future, we will treat disease with certain bacteria. Science has already figured out people with more firmicutes bacteria are prone to obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The ratio of firmicutes to bacteroidetes bacteria in the gut determines a person's health and illness risk! This is just the beginning of the new science of the microbiome.
This new understanding of our gut bacteria's role in health led to the creation of the Human Microbiome Project funded through the National Institutes of Health. The mission is to sequence all 10,000+ bacteria and find how changes in the microbiome cause disease as well as help reverse disease.
Integrative medicine gastroenterologist Dr. Robynne Chutkan demonstrates in her book, The Microbiome Solution: A Radical New Way to Heal Your Body from the Inside Out, how the wrong type of bacteria in our gut adversely affects our health.
"The new paradigm of bacteria as friend rather than foe is at the heart of a revolution in health care that's forcing us to reexamine how we live as well as our medical practices."
Watch Dr. Chutkan's video on YouTube for more information…
Live Dirty, Eat Clean! Why The Microbiome Is The Future Of Medicine
Neurologist David Perlmutter, M.D. witnesses the health improvements he sees in his patients daily when treating the gut microbiome. He shares his patient stories and science in his book, Brain Maker,:
" … individuals with myriad, enfeebling health challenges – from chronic pain, fatigue, and depression to serious bowel disorders and autoimmune disease experienced a complete vanishing of symptoms following treatment. These stories are not outlier cases for me but by standard measure of what might typically be expected, they seem almost miraculous. I witness these stories every day… this new knowledge can help virtually any degenerative or inflammatory condition…"
Prescriptions for Disease
Science recognizes a balanced microbiome is essential to health. We treat patients and ignore this crucial point. When we disregard this wisdom, we make our patients sicker longer. How many times have you given out the prescriptions listed below?
- Antibiotics
- Proton pump inhibitors
- NSAIDs
- Birth control pills
These prescriptions create an imbalance in the "bad bacteria" of the microbiome. The long term harm far outweighs the short term benefit taking these drugs.
Each time we write these prescriptions we are responsible for fueling the very diseases we are treating!
No wonder people feel better when their gut feels better! Think about it… if our gut is the main factory for inflammation, then all diseases including heart disease and diabetes are linked to gut inflammation.
Hippocrate's wisdom lives on.
I urge you to learn how integrative medicine supports the micro biome, and how to avoid giving the prescriptions that make our patients sicker in the long run.
If you agree or wish to comment, I invite you to call me, Cathy Ochs. Even if your point of view is different than my own, your opinion is still very important to me. We learn by communicating. So let's talk about integrative medicine. What it is and is not. Benefits, limitations, and what possibilities the future holds for integrative and preventative medicine.

One of the first questions I get is "Do you take insurance?" and the answer is I do not. Let me explain why.
I feel it's important for my clients to get the most effective counseling and also to have full privacy throughout the therapeutic process. By providing private payment, you will have full privacy since I am not obligated to provide your insurance company with sensitive information about you or our counseling sessions. Also, managed care companies often dictate the number of sessions allowed and I feel that should be a decision you and I make together.
Insurance benefits can only be used to treat an illness; therefore, a diagnosis of a mental health disorder is required that becomes part of your permanent medical record. This information could be used against you in the future when applying for life insurance, disability claims, pistol permits, etc. If you do not use insurance then there is no need to diagnose.
That being said, the majority of my clients are struggling in their marriage or their need for change, not with mental illness. They need support to explore changes they want in their relationships and themselves. These clients just want to learn new strategies and obtain tools that help them make the desired changes in their life and these cases are not something that qualifies as "medically necessary" under a health insurance plan. Insurance does not typically cover marriage-related issues unless they have been assessed and diagnosed with a mental disorder; nor do they cover self-improvement.
Many insurance policies may reimburse for out-of-network providers (which would be me) but this is usually only after a deductible has been met. Check with your insurance provider directly to understand your specific coverage. If you wish to invite your managed care company into our therapeutic relationship and would like me to provide you with an invoice with the required information needed for you to submit to your provider for reimbursement, then I will do so. But know, you will be responsible for payment at the time of service and your provider will not process your claim without a diagnosis of a mental disorder.
To conclude, I want to work for YOU, not managed care. I believe there is value in seeing a therapist that you chose on factors beyond insurance plan participation.
Do you have more questions? Please feel free to contact me.
Cancellation/No Show Fee
I have a 24 hour notice cancellation policy. Cancellations require a 24 hours notice. I will have to charge you for the full session fee if cancellation is made within 24 hours of your scheduled session or you do not show.

Houston BCycle will offer free rides from each of its 60 Houston-area bike share stations on Bike to Work Day, Friday, May 18th, 2018. With the support of their official healthcare partner, CHI St. Luke's Health, Houston BCycle's promotion will go to support Houston's growing bike community on an internationally-celebrated bike advocacy day.
"We're thrilled to offer everyone a chance to use bike sharing on Bike to Work Day," said Henry Morris, Marketing & Communications Manager at Houston BCycle. "Since launching our partnership with CHI St. Luke's Health, our riders have been collectively burning millions of calories each month on our bikes. We hope that a day of free rides will introduce even more people to biking as a healthy, fun, and sustainable transit option."
On May 18th, anyone will be able to walk up to a Houston BCycle kiosk, swipe their credit card to create a guest account, and check out a bike for free by using the promotional code 51818.
While there is no cap on how many times the code can be used, rides that last longer than 30 minutes will incur a $3.00 overage fee for each additional 30-minute period. As always, riders can dock their bikes at any Houston BCycle station to end their trip.
Houston BCycle's free trips will also support those attending City of Houston's official Bike to Work Day event on Friday the 18th. With opening remarks beginning at 7:00 AM, attendees will embark on a 20 minute, 3-4 mile celebratory bike ride to begin and end at Hermann Square in front of City Hall–which has its own Houston BCycle station.

In 2015 the New Group staged Philip Ridley's Mercury Fur, a brutal vision of depravity amid the detritus of a wrecked civilization. Now the same company, under the same director, Scott Elliott, is presenting Wallace Shawn's Evening at the Talk House, a more subdued yet insinuating take on a society heading in the same direction.
This time the atmosphere is vastly different. Upon entry, audience members may mingle with the actors on Derek McLane's homage to a private club, the "Talk House" of the title—tan leather sofa, gray side chairs, a teal hassock, and lights in crystal cylinders on the end tables give it a cozy ambiance. One may be offered a cocktail (variously colored seltzer waters) by the slender Jill Eikenberry, clad in a white blouse and apron, who will shortly become Nellie, the proprietress of the hideaway.
Evening at the Talk House begins leisurely. It's the 10th anniversary of a play written by Robert (a staid Matthew Broderick), and he explains the reunion in a long opening monologue. Some of the participants in that production—direly named Midnight in a Clearing with Moon and Stars—are gathering to catch up. There is the affable Tom (Larry Pine), who starred in Robert's play and has the lead now in a popular TV series that Robert writes called Tony and Company. Annette (Claudia Shear) was the wardrobe mistress, and John Epperson's dapper Ted, the show's "poor old-fashioned composer," contributed incidental music. Bill (Michael Tucker) was Midnight's producer, and Jane (Annapurna Sriram), a waitress now at the Talk House, was in the play, but her acting career never took off.
The unexpected guest at the party is Dick (Shawn himself), wearing pajamas and sporting a massive facial bruise. He explains the latter: "I was beaten, rather recently, by some friends, but you see, I actually enjoyed it very much, in the end. Really, it was great." Thanks to Nellie's generosity, he is recuperating in a spare upstairs room kept for patrons who over-imbibe.
Over hors d'oeuvres served by Nellie, each character talks about the intervening years, yet there's an occasional jarring comment, and one of the earliest hints may go by unnoticed. Speaking about theater and a former critic, Robert laments its decline: "I'm certainly not going to complain because statistics say that the theatre-going impulse has declined substantially since Walter Barclay took his last breath—or had it taken from him, if you believe those theories."
Gradually it becomes apparent that in the outside world hostile forces are in play, and that some kind of social breakdown is in progress. In fact, some of the old chums are practitioners of mass murder, or "targeting," against the country's enemies. The concerns of the Talk House—theater, music, conversation, good food—are irrelevant to a civilization spiraling downward.
In spite of occasional slow spots, Shawn is masterly at writing literate, even poetic, dialogue. (Shawn doesn't own a television; the written word is his meat and potatoes.) And he's adept at making sly digs: late in the play Dick reads an amusing excerpt from Midnight that makes it clear Robert's play was some Game of Thrones nonsense. Even so, Shawn's celebration of theater as communication and connection, as vital to civilization, is an elegiac counterpoint to the enormity of the assassinations. If at times his points—the idiocy of television, the decline of articulate conversation, the coarsening of humanity—are familiar, the leisurely world he puts on stage is both relaxed and deeply unsettling. Dick's cheerful acceptance of his beating, rather than resentment of it, is even more disturbing in retrospect.
None of this is news—Caryl Churchill's Escaped Alone and Alan Hruska's Ring Twice for Miranda, both currently playing, feature dystopian outlooks. Yet Shawn provides one of the most sugar-coated atmospheres to hear this cautionary tale, until the civilized refuge suddenly plunges into darkness. (Jennifer Tipton is responsible for the impressively diverse lighting.) Ultimately, though, what makes Evening at the Talk House so memorable is less the shock of ordinary people blithely engaging in murder, but the prospect of an entire civilization facing its demise.
Wallace Shawn's Evening at the Talk House plays through March 12 at the Pershing Square Signature Center (480 W. 42nd St. between Ninth and Tenth avenues). Evening performances are at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and at 8 p.m. Saturday; matinees are at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. For tickets and information, visit thenewgroup.org.

A safe home for all your data – Access & share your files, calendars, contacts, mail & more...
Created by Nextcloud community
I love open source software, and in the story of NextCloud and its OwnCloud roots, I side - overall - with NextCloud. For reasons of freedom and openness and trying to make the world a better software place. But... I won't use NextCloud in the near future and the reason is that my needs aren't met by the NextCloud client. It seeks to allow me to sync my files between multiple computers. But I have - literally - hundreds of thousands of (very small, ie <100kB) files to sync. And the NextCloud client can't cope with this. It tries to catalogue everything and gets stuck, lags, and mashes up the sync. That was the case with OpenCloud's v9 client and it's true of NextCloud v11.
I love the idea of NextCloud, but it doesn't work for me.
If you're not a special case like me, try it; I think it might be worth your while, so you can escape the tyrrany of evil services like Dropbox and Google Drive, who have your number, can read your files and must give it to the NSA if asked without telling you.
Otherwise, spare a thought for the low price, reliable and EU-based seafile.de (now SyncWerk.com).
Yes, syncing hundreds of thousands of very small files is a though challenge and the current client isn't super good at it. However, we have made progress already and are working on a more complete solution - be sure to check it out again in half a year or so ;-)
The best solution for my private cloud: more configurable and stable than others.
The best for help make my docs really privates!
It is open source, you can run it on your home computer, and it has many features
Robust, versatile, has lot and lots of options that actually cover all of my needs. Hosting it on my own micro server from ASUS [barebone].
An excellent open source alternative to any proprietary cloud storage solution. By far the most scalable and customizable solution out there.
I don't know if I make it through a day without using my private, personal, self hosted cloud server. It kind of runs my day syncing my calendars, contacts and currently its also my alternative to google music as I stream my entire music collection to my phone. If your aiming to truely own your data and keep it that way then Nextcloud is the key.
Easiest way to deploy Nextcloud and additions like the Collabora Online Office is the Appliance based on Univention Corporate Server (https://www.univention.com/products/univention-app-center/app-catalog/nextcloud/ ). Best thing is that you'll get updates for the whole stack in one place - and that it is free to use.
Nextcloud is much more than a simple replacement for Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. It is an online collaboration platform, with all the bells and whistles of such a platform. It has a small footprint and it highly extensible.
It is open source cloud. I can install it on any linux-based systems and integrate with PHP and SQLite. All of them are open source softwares.
It easy to install and use.
Easy to install. Works very well in the web, Ubuntu Linux desktop and Android.
More integrations (with rocket.chat, for example) would be good.
Can be self-hosted, offers end-to-end-encryption, open source
Nextcloud is really great! Secure and scalable with many plugin to extend his functionality.
Granularity level of authorizations is better than Dropbox, Drive and OneDrive.
Nextcloud talk to encrypted videoconference
Integration with Collabora online or OnlyOffice to collaborative editing online of your documents.
GPDR compliant.
Absolutely recommended!!!
Free and flexible. Easy to use and to administrate. Can be hosted on own hardware.
It's way faster than Owncloud and the development is much much faster. You get faster updates and features. And there is more for free compared to Owncloud. So there are many reason to switch to Nextcloud right now.
Really awesome Tool for sharing things completely private. Before Nextcloud I used Owncloud which also was quite nice. But the development was really really slow and feature requests were so often ignored. When I switched to Nextcloud all my issue I had on Owncloud were already fixed. So yeah this was the best choice to switch. The Migration is not that easy von Owncloud the Nextcloud. But there are Tutorial how to do that like mine: https://www.kwoxer.de/2018/05/01/owncloud-durch-nextcloud-ersetzen-migrieren/
Great Tool thank you guys.

GREENLAND — On Wednesday September 5 the Great Bay Discovery Center is offering a free day of training for its fall education program. If you enjoy being outdoors and working with children, then this is a great opportunity to do both.
The fall program is Cultural History and consists of taking small groups of school children to various stops on the grounds and in the buildings of the Great Bay Discovery Center. No experience is necessary only a willingness to teach children some of the history of the Great Bay area in an outdoor setting.
The program includes a Native American camp site complete with wigwam, the Captain Adams gundalow, a mock archaeological dig, lessons on the boardwalk and a visit to the Special Collections room for an overview of the history of hunting and fishing on Great Bay. Each stop has props and hands on activities for the kids to make their visit interactive and fun. All training materials are free and new volunteers usually "shadow" the program two or three times before they do a group on their own. The groups are small, usually 10 to 12, and come from NH elementary schools. The program is tied into the state's curriculum frameworks for 3rd grade social studies. The program runs mornings only September 10 through October 31st.

Five Basic & Fundamental Beliefs In Islam
anisafatima posted a topic in Islamic DiscussionsIslam is a religion, whose foundation is laid upon five basic and fundamental beliefs which serves as boundary for faith. The person who abides these fundamentals of Islam is considered to be in the boundary of Islam else not. 1) Oneness of Almighty Allah (SWT): It is being observed that follower of every religion believes in the existence of God but the difference between a follower and non-follower of Islam is that Muslim believes in the oneness of Allah Almighty (SWT) ( no one is like Him Almighty (SWT) and He Almighty (SWT) is the stand alone lord of this universe & universes beyond this) and non-follower doesn't. Say, "He is God, the One. God, to Whom the creatures turn for their needs. He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none like Him." (Quran, 112:1-4) 2) Belief in the Angels Allah Almighty (SWT): As a Muslim we should believe in the existence honored creature of Allah Almighty (SWT) known as Angels. Angels are the most obedient creature of Almighty Allah (SWT). There are four famous and pious Angels i.e. Jibreel, Mikaeel, 'Azrael and Israfeel but amongst these four Jibreel used to bring Wahi to all the messengers of Almighty Allah (SWT). 3) Belief in Almighty Allah's (SWT) revealed books: According to the faith of Muslims Allah Almighty (SWT) revealed Holy books to His messengers for the guidance of humanity. Amongst the other Holy books Quran is revealed to Holy Prophet (PBUH). Allah Almighty has taken its responsibility to prevent it from corruption or distortion, and He Almighty (SWT) says: Indeed, We have sent down the Quran, and surely We will guard it (from corruption). (Quran, 15:9) Being Muslim it is our foremost responsibility to play role in the preservation and protection of Quran, for that sake it should be learnt by an Islamic scholar or by the help of live Quran tutor on internet. 4) Belief in the Messengers and Prophets of Almighty Allah (SWT): Muslims believe in the Prophet hood of all the prophets and messengers of Almighty Allah (SWT) from Hadrat Adam (AS) to last Holy Prophet Hadrat Muhammad (PBUH) . Muhammad is not the father of any one of your men, but he is the Messenger of God and the last of the prophets… (Quran, 33:40) One thing that is notable that all the messenger of Almighty Allah (SWT) preached for Islam and for the oneness of Almighty Allah (SWT). 5) Belief in the Day of Resurrection: Muslims firmly believe in the Day of Judgment (the Day of Resurrection) when all people will be restored to life by the will of Allah Almighty (SWT) and they will be rewarded for their deeds.

This week's Parsha contains the famous story of Yaakov tricking his father into thinking that he was Esav in order to receive the Brachot of the firstborn. This story has led many people to numerous conclusions, including that the Jew is always dishonest. However, a careful study of the Pesukim sheds a different light on this topic. The story begins with Yitzchak asking Esav to go hunt for game to serve to him before he gives the Brachah. Rivkah overhears this conversation and begs Yaakov to go to Yitzchak as an imposter and receive the blessings first. Yaakov reluctantly agrees and allows his mother to prepare foods and to dress him up to go to his father posing as Esav. After verifying that this person bringing his food is indeed "Esav," Yitzchak does bestow the sacred blessing on Yaakov right before the real Esav comes home from the hunt.
To understand Rivkah's reasoning, we must first look at the original fight between Rivkah and Yitzchak. This fight was over two elements that were represented by Yaakov and Esav. Yitzchak saw the material power in Esav, while Rivkah saw the spiritual power in Yaakov. Both factors were necessary for the future of Bnai Yisrael. Yitzchak might have believed that the promise of Hashem was supposed to be carried on by both Esav and Yaakov as brotherly nations complementing each other. Therefore, he planned on giving Esav a blessing of material content, and one of spiritual content to Yaakov. Rivkah, on the other hand, knew from her brother and her own upbringing that such a division would fail. She recognized the curse that arises out of materialism without spirituality. Rivkah, unlike Yitzchak, saw Yaakov with both of these forces in his hands.
Rav Shimshon Raphael Hirsch explains that we must accept the words of our Talmudic sages to understand this story. We also must not try to overlook anything about the events recorded here. Rav Hirsch examines what Rivkah thought she would gain by sending Yaakov in as an imposter. She knew from the beginning that Yaakov would not be able to hide what he did for long. Esav was scheduled to return, and there was no way to keep Yaakov's actions a secret. Accordingly, if this was a blessing that Hashem was to give through Yitzchak, how could Rivkah expect Hashem to bless someone receiving it by trickery? How could the blessing of Avraham, which was then passed to Yitzchak, move on to the next generation through an imposter? Also, if this blessing also had some kind of legal status to it, how could Rivkah expect the status to be binding? The Brachah would have been given under false pretences, and could be repealed!
Rav Hirsch explains that Rivkah had very different intentions. She really wanted to prove to Yitzchak that he was mistaken about who should be receiving this blessing. If Yaakov, a person unlearned in the ways of the world, could so easily trick Yitzchak to believe he was the material son Esav, than how easily could Esav, a cunning hunter, trick Yitzchak into thinking that he was the learned one! This explanation is proven by the words that Yitzchak himself says in his conversation with Esav, "...he shall even be blessed!" Yitzchak does not take away Yaakov's blessing here; in fact, he validates it.
When Yitzchak was forced to come to terms with how short Esav fell in terms of spiritual insight, and when he found out that Esav had rejected his destiny by selling his birthright, he was convinced that Rivkah was right. He therefore validated Yaakov's blessings, and recognized Yaakov as the sole spiritual inheritor of the blessings.
It is true that it is forbidden to disobey the Torah even at the request of a parent, but Yaakov saw in his mother's demand an aspect of prophetic wisdom that made him listen to her. There are times when the rules, if prophetically stated, can be pushed aside for a greater purpose. Yaakov's actions were directly in conflict with his true essence that opposed all falsehood, cheating, and dishonesty.
As Jews, we need to be closely in touch with our heritage of honesty. We need to constantly be aware that we are the ones who make or break our forefather Yaakov's image in the world. Our actions directly affect people's acceptance or rejection of the lies that have been perpetuated about Yaakov. We must take this responsibility seriously, and we should be proud and overjoyed that we are fortunate enough to have it. Most of all, we should be sure never to cause a Chilul Hashem, a disgrace to Hashem's name.

2018 Legislative Session
Ski passes, newspaper ads and meals: A look inside lobbyist spending during the session
What do ski passes, meals and newspaper ads all have in common? Lobbyists or their employers have purchased them in recent weeks as part of their ongoing efforts to build relationships with or bring lawmakers around to their perspectives on issues. According to mandatory reports filed since January 17th, lobbyists or their employers have spent more than $75,111 so far this session, slightly more than $68,000 spent by this time last year. About half the expenses were in the form of meals at restaurants in and around the Roundhouse, mostly larger events to which all legislators were invited. Lobbyist Natasha Ning told New Mexico In Depth (NMID) she was lobbying to establish a new scholarship at New Mexico Military Institute (NMMI), called the New Mexico Opportunity Scholarship.

Merry Christmas! From each of us to each of you, we wish you a blessed and meaningful Christmas season as we thank God for 2018.
We have a gift for you. You might be familiar with our Mini CD You're A Star! as we have produced 15000 copies over the years (and only one big box full remains in the shed).
The mini CD has lost much of its value since it requires a laptop or computer (no iPad) with a CD or DVD drive that has a tray for the disc to sit in (no Apple). So we are discontinuing the product, but would love to give you as many copies as you can make use of. We'll even cover the cost of the postage to you - just reply email or call us! Minimum quantity of 50.
We'll soon be welcoming some new Snackers onto the team and we're still looking for others to join us in a variety of admin, performing and coordinating roles.
We're currently advertising a paid role alongside our volunteer opportunities.
Snack positions available
Do you know someone who might be a great fit for our team? Could this be the most exciting thing for them in 2019? Encourage them to have a look!
Snack were heard for 567 minutes on Spotify this year. Find us on iTunes, Spotify and most other music services and enjoy some Snack over your holidays. Merry Christmas!

Guided By Voices remains one of my all-time favorite (and arguably most prolific) bands. (Need proof? Take a look at this. And keep in mind, Pollard distributed a ton of records with other bands and side projects. His litany of work boggles the mind.) I've seen them live on several occasions, albeit mostly in Chicago. I think my first GBV show was at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC. I distinctly remember it was still daylight when I approached the venue with my pals, Chuck and Jared. There was a long line of people outside the joint, and to their left was an older white guy with an afro smoking a cigarette, clad in pants and a button-down shirt that looked like the American flag. I realized pretty quickly it was GBV-frontman Robert Pollard, and I was shocked to see him there among the people, cool as can be. Because Guided By Voices is nothing if not unpretentious. Pollard and his rotating cast of characters that fill out the rest of the band are completely unassuming.
On stage, there's no mistaking Rob Pollard, what with his swinging the mic by its cord, his high leg kicks, and his ability to down bottles of beer like they were Aquafina. Well, that was the old Pollard, anyway, back when every show started with a bus pan of iced beer in the middle of the stage. Later they got (mostly) sober and the beer swilling stopped, or at least slowed considerably. Pollard drank less, divorced from his wife, and even wrote a record about it (Isolation Drills). Guided By Voices is no longer together. In fact, they documented their final performance on a DVD entitled The Electrifying Conclusion, which captured their 2004 New Year's Eve performance in Chicago. The best part is that they've got an actual bar on the stage! So, both during and between songs, Pollard wanders over on several occasions, takes a seat at the bar, and has a belt. It's fantastic. (And speaking of DVDs, I highly recommend checking out the GBV documentary Watch Me Jumpstart, as it captures the band in their hometown of Dayton, OH before they hit it "big," or as big as they were ever going to hit it. It's an absolutely tremendous film.
Now, to the mix. My girlfriend was something of a casual GBV fan who wasn't all too familiar with their work. As a longtime fan with a ton of their material, a couple months ago I put together a sort of Best of Guided By Voices compilation for her, as a starter set of sorts. According to her, she still listens to it constantly, which is a testament to their greatness. Okay, maybe that's overstating it, but I implore you to give this mix a listen. Pollard and crew are not only wicked-smart in their Beatle- and Who-esque arrangements, but have the uncanny ability to do both quiet and loud ridiculously well. In their early days, Pollard and guitarist/vocalist Tobin Sprout absolutely killed it, as evidenced by their most acclaimed record, Bee Thousand. (For the record, I still argue to this day that Alien Lanes is their masterpiece, and I might even put Under the Bushes, Under the Stars second.)
So, a couple notes on the tracks below before I hand them over. The version of "Melted Pat" included is a cover by Spoon. "Wrecking Now" is a cover by some random dude and his acoustic guitar. The link to "Want One?" is a live version that goes into "Pivotal Film." The GBV cover band Textbook Committee (which, by the way, is a lyric from one of GBV's songs) does "Much Better Mr. Buckles." And, finally, the link to "Ester's Day" is a performance by Tobin Sprout sans GBV. Oh, and yes: all 36 songs are on a single CD. They've got a pension for short songs.

10 comments
With the first TBM now gradually heading underground at Royal Oak, the second TBM has now been moved forward into position.
Ada will not begin the second bore yet, as it'll be a little while before the first TBM, Phyllis, has completely cleared the portal. Nonetheless it's a further sign of progress on Crossrail.

I'm putting the finishing touches to the script for tomorrow's Young Journalist Awards ceremony. This is something we've been running in conjunction with Staffordshire University for a couple of years now – giving primary and secondary school pupils as well as college students the chance to have their stories published in The Sentinel and online. It's all about encouraging the journalists of the future and I don't think there has ever been a greater need to promote our fine profession. In this age of 24/7 broadcast media, regional newspapers particularly face their most difficult challenge to date as they struggle to remain relevant and desperately try to get to grips with the internet revolution. There is hope, however. I think people are starting to appreciate that there's something about having a quality, tangible news product in your hand – something you can pass around and share, cut out or keep. You see, we don't all spend every waking hour glued to a PC or mobile phone. Blogging and broadcasting is all well and good but, for me, print journalism will always be where it's at. There's very little room for error with print journalism – particularly when it has your name on and readers can come in to your office waving the paper at you. Anyone can write a blog – as you can see – but not everyone who does is a trained journalist. They haven't all sat in council meetings, inquests and court hearings. They haven't all covered a football match or done a death-knock. They haven't all had their ears chewed by a News Editor on deadline. The truth is you have to earn your stripes in this game. We should beware the ones who haven't… and cherish those who have.
Hope for our fine profession

Since it was announced, the National Broadband Network (NBN) has caused a lot of worry and anxiety among telecom operators and investors alike.
Australian telcos are facing an uphill battle against the National Broadband Network (NBN). Large players such as Telstra, Optus, Vocus and TPG are experiencing great pressure from the network resulting in decreasing margins across the board. The NBN is a fixed wireless and satellite infrastructure of optic-fibre, replacing the now obsolete copper network, providing Australians with the fastest and most reliable internet in the nation's history.
Traditionally, consumers would access internet through the HCF or copper infrastructure provided by telco players such as Telstra. NBN Co. has since bought out the cable network as churn rates, the percentage rate at which customers stop subscribing to the service, on copper networks are trending upwards. NBN migration, effectively a forced churn, will not only increase network costs but also open the door to potential pricing pressures and market share loss due to new entrants.
So why exactly are big telcos bracing for the future?
The NBN roll-out levels the playing field for all industry players as all operators will go through NBN Co. to sell broadband. Moreover, this means telco players such as Telstra and Optus will lose their ownership economics, a considerable competitive advantage, joining their peers in the industry as resellers of NBN. Furthermore, the NBN roll-out has paved the way for new entrants into the market as resellers of NBN are creating additional pressures with price wars and diminishing market share of existing big players. Companies such as Vodafone Australia, Amaysim and MyRepublic are expected to become NBN resellers. This influx of intense competition is disrupting the industry market shares as average margins per unit (AMPU) are beginning to worsen.
As a result, telco stocks Telstra, TPG Telecom and Vocus have been crunched across the board, most notably VOC.AX falling by more than 70% over the past year. What's next for Australian telcos? As the largest operators in the industry report deteriorating returns due to the NBN rollout and fierce competition, management are under pressure to find new ways to grow revenue. If U.S. history serves as an indicator of what will happen going forward for Australian telcos, previous episodes in the states saw U.S. telcos acquire media and technology companies in order to drive top-line growth. Additionally, providers may look to improve on services unaffected by the roll-out such as data-storage or to diversify their offerings with services such as TPG's Fibre to the Building (FTTB) or dark cable.
It's tough to predict what the telecommunications industry has in store for the coming years as the full effect of NBN won't be known until it's full installment in 2020.
