"Do You Know The Three Simple Steps You Can Take Today To Achieve Your Goals And Objectives, And Stop Procrastinating?"
If you can spare us just a few minutes of your valuable time, we'll show you how you can make those minutes back, and more, many times over, every single day.
Does that sound like a fair deal?
OK, in just a moment, on the page below, we're going to reveal to you a simple system you can begin using today - right now - that will teach you how to avoid procrastination and increase productivity.
This system is so effective that it will let you to reclaim more hours in your day, more days in your week, and more weeks in your year - easily.
If you're the sort of person who looks back at the end of each day and wonders where did all those hours go, and why haven't you accomplished anything, or if you need procrastination help, then this is the perfect solution for you.
This system can help you with the boring, day-to-day tasks you have to do (e.g. dealing with emails, catching up with the news, even eating or taking the dog for a walk), as well as the larger, more important project activities (e.g. marketing campaigns, new product development).
So, now that you're ready to find out the three simple steps you need to take to learn how to stop procrastinating and get stuff done, read on ...
Here's The Simple A-B-C System:
We guarantee that when you follow these three simple steps, every single day, your ability to get things done, as well as your entire life, will be completely revolutionised!
We encourage you to take another look at those three little steps, let them sink in and percolate, and you'll soon begin to see the sheer genius in both the structure and purpose behind them.
We're not saying this to boast - we can't, because we're not the people who developed this system. We're saying it because we really believe it, and because it really works.
So, your interest is piqued, and you're probably wondering ...
Why Does This System Work So Well?
Well, we have to confess that we're no psychologists, so we can't tell you for sure why this system works so well, but what we can do is share with you what effect using it has on our brains in order to practically compel it to want to take action on a consistent basis.
As we see it, there are three key elements involved here that make this such an effective strategy to overcome procrastination and getting stuff done, day in and day out:
The interesting thing is that when these three elements come together, they create a synergy that utterly transforms the way you look at all the things you have to do - both emotionally and psychologically.
This effect is so strong, that after you've used the system for a relatively short while, it almost becomes addictive - you just want to take action.
And that's certainly an addiction we can live with very happily - especially after years of wondering how to overcome procrastination!
Making A Good System Great!
While this system is incredibly powerful, when you start using it every single day, you begin to notice a few irritations that sort of get in the way and make you feel like it could be even more effective than it already is. For example:
Now, while we have direct personal experience of using this system, and can vouch for how effective it is, we knew that there would be many other people out there, like us and like you, that could benefit from it as well.
However, we also realised that some of these minor annoyances would undoubtedly get in the way of using the system to its best advantage, or maybe even cause people not to try it because they couldn't be bothered with all that apparent extra work.
On top of all this, psychology research has demonstrated that the better your mind can visualise something, the more real it becomes, in your mind, and the more likely it is that you will actually take action on it and, surprise, surprise, this applies just as much to your daily plan as to anything else.
The good news is that this is the 21st century and we're no longer stuck with quill pens and ledgers - we have our ever-present companion, the computer, to assist us!
The Birth Of An Idea
So, the goal was to create a computer program (to do list software, if you like), to support the use of this system, that would:
And here is the very first rough sketch of how this time boxing software might look:
Introducing: The Daily Goal Machine
Those three little words - Simple, Intuitive and Effective - perfectly embody what The Daily Goal Machine is all about - it's business productivity software like you've never seen before.
The aim of The Daily Goal Machine is brilliantly simple: to give you an easy way to visually structure your day in such a way that you feel absolutely compelled to take action and get things done, once and for all - no more daydreaming, no more procrastination, no more being side-tracked and distracted every few minutes by inconsequential stuff!
When you use The Daily Goal Machine, you don't need to learn or remember any complicated time-management "system", because all you need is:
That's all there is to it!
So, not only is this personal productivity software specifically designed to support a system that can't fail to motivate you to take action, consistently, but the interface also helps you be 100% clear about your day and what is required of you, allowing you to visualize your time and accomplishments at-a-glance.

See What's New In Version 3
The Daily Goal Machine was always a great tool to help you get things done, but there are a bunch of new features in the latest release (Version 3):
How The Daily Goal Machine Gets Results
The Daily Goal Machine is the ultimate action machine - see how you can't fail to get stunning results:
Here's How The Daily Goal Machine Makes It
Plan Your Day In A Minute (Or Less)
Although the Daily Goal Machine already comes pre-loaded with dozens of common tasks, you can also add as many of your own tasks as you want - quickly and easily. All of this makes it really simple to get your day planned with the minimum of time and effort, so that you can actually get on with doing the important stuff - your work (or whatever you've got scheduled for the day).
See Your Day With Never-Before-Experienced Clarity
Instead of your day being some blurry, hodge-podge of "stuff you need to do", The Daily Goal Machine uses an intuitive graphical display that enables you to visualize it, making it more tangible and achievable to you.
Do Many Different Tasks, Even On Your Busiest Days
The Daily Goal Machine lets you display up to 12 timers, from 5 minutes up to 3 hours each, simultaneously, so you'll always have plenty of flexibility to plan and manage even your busiest days.
Feel A Stronger Sense Of Achievement
Whenever you finish a scheduled task, The Daily Goal Machine provides you with visual confirmation that you've successfully finished yet another task, which in turn helps you build even more momentum as you continue making progress.
Start Using This System Right Now
Because The Daily Goal Machine has such an intuitive and simple interface, it usually only takes a few minutes (five at most) to master it, so that you can get straight on with the important jobs - like getting stuff done!
Make A Habit Of Using It
The Daily Goal Machine uses up very little of your computer's resources, which means there's no excuse not to use it every single day - you can leave it running constantly, without any adverse effect on whatever else you're doing on your computer.
Discover Which Black Holes Are Sucking Up All Your Time
Click just one button, and The Daily Goal Machine will instantly start generating a report that details all the different actions you've finished, thus helping you to quickly understand how and where your time is really being spent.
We're sure you don't need us to remind you that your time is the most valuable asset you have, because you already know this.
You see, understanding the value in time, and in your time specifically, isn't the real challenge here - it's probably the lack of an effective way to manage it to achieve the maximum results.
So, consider this question: with what you've already seen and read about The Daily Goal Machine, do you think it's possible that you could claim back 100 hours per year that are currently being lost to activities you can't account for?
If you're not quite there yet, then how about just 75 hours? Or 50? Or maybe only 25 hours over the course of a year (which is less than half an hour a week)?
Even though I already had a weekly plan, used a calendar, used the ABC method to prioritize my list and single-mindedly focused on the next task at hand, this program has saved me 45 minutes every day, over 4 hours/week.

London group joins protests
Eric Shepperd, of London, was part of a small London rally Saturday at the Victoria Park, part of a worldwide demonstration against greed and corruption. Galvanized by the Occupy Wall Street movement, the protests began in New Zealand, rippled east to Europe and were expected to return to their starting point in New York. (SUE REEVE, The London Free Press)
Calling for peace, equality and an end to poverty, a small group of protesters gathered at London's Victoria Park on the weekend to kick off Occupy London (Ontario), in a show of solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement.
The London demonstration was one of about a dozen that took place across Canada - including Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver - and around the world by those inspired by the Occupy movement that began last month on New York's Wall Street. The movement aims to raise awareness about growing divide between rich and poor.
Saturday's numbers varied across the country with as many as 2,000 in Toronto to only seven in Lloydminister, B.C.
In London, the numbers appeared higher at first glance, bolstered by journalists - there were actually more members of the media than protesters - and a group of Catholics who had rented the bandshell for a prayer session.
One officer monitored the gathering and police later issued a release pegging the number of protesters at 15 to 20.
The Occupy London demonstration - planned on Facebook one day earlier - was likely hampered by rainy, windy weather and the fact many Londoners had already headed to Toronto to take part in protests there.
But those who showed up to Victoria Park said the economic issues that have triggered protests across the U.S. and now major Canadian cities are also playing out in London.
"There's a problem with the way we do business, and social and economic inequality is greater than it's been in a long time," said Eric Shepperd, 27, a technical support worker who has his own business.
"Parts of this city are in an extreme economic depression while other parts are extremely affluent."
Shepperd said he was heading to Toronto later Saturday, but wanted to help raise awareness in London first.
"Our environment and natural resources are being squandered and I can't stand by and watch."
Another sign-carrying protester said she has learned "how messed up the capitalist system is," through social justice courses she has been taking at London's King's College.
"People waste their days working jobs they don't even like, just to live," said Justine Kovacs.
In Toronto, protesters marched and chanted again on Sunday, making their way from their camp at St. James Park to the Yonge-Dundas Square in the heart of the city's downtown.
Dozens of tents remained in a makeshift campsite and some people aren't planning to leave any time soon.
Peter, who came to the protest from London, said he plans to stay until at least next Sunday.
"I'm here to support the Occupy Wall Street movement and to support all of my brothers and sisters and to make sure nothing happens like the G20," said Peter, a drummer in a band. "My personal message is anarchy and love because I truly believe as long as we aren't hurting anyone or causing harm or loss to another person, we should be free to do as we please."
The Toronto group is apparently planning an "impact" demonstration Monday in the financial district when the Toronto Stock Exchange opens.
In Montreal, about 100 of the 1,000 "occupy" protesters who swarmed Montreal's Victoria Square Saturday afternoon pitched tents and spent the night.
The square is in the centre of the city's financial district, between the World Trade Centre Montreal and the derivative exchange building.
Montreal was one of hundreds of cities worldwide that held anti-capitalist protests Saturday to raise awareness about growing divide between rich and poor.
Montreal's campers say they are determined to stay to make their point on behalf of the "99%" of people who do not represent the wealthy elite.
"(The world's) economic system won't change if we don't take initiatives to ensure everyone is well on the planet," said one protester.
Police said there were no overnight incidents with the campers.
However, police are not releasing their strategy to deal with them and refused to tell QMI Agency if they will continue to allow the centre of the city's financial district to remain an anti-capitalist campground.
A municipal bylaw prohibits anyone from being in a public park between midnight and 6 a.m.
Calgary's city and bylaw officials will meet Monday to hash out a plan to deal with Occupy Calgary protesters who have now occupied Olympic Plaza.
Until then, they are taking a wait-and-see approach, said Ald. Shane Keating.
"The plan is to go day-by-day," he said. "There is a need to follow forward and make sure it doesn't impede the public safety and I think they've done that expertly so far."
About 30 protesters spent a chilly night in tents at Olympic Plaza following the global day of action Saturday that saw hundreds gather in front of Bankers Hall.
"Now we occupy until change comes," said Ian Wearmouth, 22.
"That's the whole nature of an occupation.
"It's so hard to see what kind of change is going to come because we represent 99% of the people so what our demands are and what change we're looking for is hard to define."
The group has been well behaved thus far, said Insp. Chris Butler, and police won't move to remove them until directed by city officials.
"We're not taking any enforcement action at this point until we get further direction from city management on what they want done," said Butler.
"If these people continue to occupy they'll have to decide what action if any that want to take."
Another group of protesters is also being allowed to camp at St. Patrick's Island, where some have vowed to stay until the end of the month.
Edmonton had about two dozen overnight occupiers in a park on Jasper Avenue and 102 Avenue after about 1,00 protesters marched through the city's downtown on Saturday.
Some raked leaves while others played games to keep warm.
Downtown cops said the protesters were generally well-behaved, but they did monitor the crowd throughout the night.
Police said the overnighters had permission from the property's owner to spend the night.
Organizer Michael Thomas told QMI Agency that occupiers are operating on a consensus basis, and will maintain discussions with the land owner to figure out how long the group will stay and what their next move will be.
In Kingston,, only a handful of people remained Sunday, gathered inside a homemade canopy on the stage in Confederation Park. Police said the protest hadbeen "pretty uneventful."

Tabard ended their London One North season with a disappointing 22-19 away defeat against Old Haberdashers.
Tabard edged the first half but they had fallen behind early in the contest after Brian Butterwick fired over a penalty.
The visitors responded and maintained pressure on the Old Habs defence. Their persistence was rewarded with a penalty that Jack Reilly converted.
On the stroke of half time, Reilly added a second penalty and Tabs then grabbed a try. The ball was moved through several hands before wing Shane Austin went over in the corner.
Tabard led 13-3 at the interval and that advantage was extended after the restart when Reilly scored another penalty.
Tabs looked on course to end their campaign with a victory but a poor final ten minutes proved costly.
Andrew Sanderson crossed for the hosts before Reilly slotted over a penalty.
However, Old Habs ran in two late tries, one of which was converted, to secure a narrow win.
Tabard: Hurrell, Austin, Calnan, Reilly, Ijieh, Arasa, Gough, Lake, Hancock, Lake, Jacobs, O'Connor, Calnan, Stoba, Pristcott.
Replacements: Clewlow, Westaway, Kenny.

The approach FIC is taking with OpenMoko is incredibly unusual, and I think will be an important part of success of the project. People trying to understand the essence of OpenMoko ("No, it's not just a new cellphone") need to understand this as well.

The choices in life insurance policies can seem bewildering, and they are difficult to understand at first glance. It's hard to know exactly where to start.

You should start with a deceptively easy-sounding question: Do you need life insurance at all? Your detailed answer to that question can help you decide what type of life insurance to purchase, assuming you decide you do need it.

If you decide you really need life insurance, then your next step is to learn about the different types of life insurance, and to make sure you're buying the right type of policy.

Do You Really Need Life Insurance?

Life insurance needs vary depending on your personal situation — the people who depend on you.

If you have no dependents, you probably don't need life insurance. If you don't generate a significant percentage of your family's income, you may or may not need life insurance.

If your salary is important to supporting your family, paying the mortgage or other recurring bills, or to sending your kids to college, you should consider life insurance as a way to ensure these financial obligations are covered in the event of your death.

How Much Life Insurance Do You Need?

It's difficult to apply a rule-of-thumb because the amount of life insurance you need depends on factors such as your other sources of income, how many dependents you have, your debts, and your lifestyle.

However, there's a general guideline you may find useful: consider obtaining a policy that would be worth between five and 10 times your annual salary in the event of your death.

Beyond that guideline, you may want to consider consulting a financial planning professional to determine how much coverage to obtain.

Types of Life Insurance Policies

There are several different types of life insurance policies, including whole life, term life, variable life and universal life.

Whole life offers both a death benefit and cash value, but is much more expensive than other types of life insurance. In traditional whole life insurance policies, your premiums stay the same until you've paid off the policy. The policy itself is in effect until your death, even after you've paid all the premiums.

This type of life insurance can be expensive because because huge commissions (thousands of dollars the first year) and fees limit the cash value in the early years. Since these fees are built into the complex investment formulas, most people don't realize just how much of their money is going into their insurance agent's pockets.

Variable life polices, a form of permanent life insurance, build up a cash reserve that you can invest in any of the choices offered by the insurance company. The value of your cash reserve depends on how well those investments are doing.

You can vary the amount of your premium with universal life insurance policies, another form of permanent life insurance, by using part of your accumulated earnings to cover part of the premium cost. You can also vary the amount of the death benefit. For this flexibility, you'll pay higher administrative fees.

Some experts recommend that if you're under 40 years old and don't have a family disposition for a life threatening illness, you should opt for term insurance, which offers a death benefit but no cash value.

Life Insurance Costs

The least expensive life insurance is likely to be from your employer's group life insurance plan, assuming your employer offers one. These policies are typically term policies, which means you're covered as long as you work for that employer. Some policies can be converted upon termination.

The cost of other types of life insurance varies greatly, depending on how much you buy, the type of policy you choose, the underwriter's practices, and how much commission the company pays your agent. The underlying costs are based on actuarial tables that project your life expectancy. High risk individuals, such as those who smoke, are overweight, or have a dangerous occupation or hobby (for example, flying) will pay more.

There are often hidden costs in life insurance policies, such as fees and large commissions, that you may not find out about until after you purchase the policy. There are so many different kinds of life insurance, and so many companies that offer these policies, that I recommend using a fee-only insurance advisor who, for a fixed fee, will research the various policies available to you and recommend the one that best suits your needs. To ensure objectivity, your advisor should not be affiliated with any particular insurance company and should not receive a commission from any policy.

A healthy 30 year-old man could expect to pay approximately $300 a year for $300,000 of term life insurance. To receive the same amount of coverage under a cash value policy would cost over $3,000.

The Bottom Line

When choosing life insurance, use the internet's resources to educate yourself about life insurance basics, find a broker you trust, then have the policies he or she recommends evaluated by a fee-only insurance advisor.

Internationally known financial advisor Suze Orman strongly believes that if you want insurance, buy term; if you want an investment, buy an investment, not insurance. Don't mix the two. Unless you're a very savvy investor and understand all the implications of the various types of life insurance policies, you most likely should purchase term life insurance.

Having worked as the director of Deitch and as the director of the Gagosian gallery in Beverly Hills, what brought you to L&M Arts?
I was always a fan of the gallery and I enjoyed every show that I saw there. But professionally, I was always more involved in the primary market and working with young artists. When L&M approached me with the idea of running a gallery that maintained their historical program, but included an equally strong contemporary program, it was an offer I couldn't refuse. I think I bring the experience of running several galleries over the years, many from the ground up, and a deep understanding and passion for helping artists exhibit their work… and to try and have fun doing it.
What prompted the decision to open an L&M Arts location in Venice, California? What will it provide to L.A.?
L&M looked at several options and, realized that LA already had an exciting art scene, now and in the past, but that it was still expanding and full of potential. I think they also understood that our type of programming would be a welcome addition to LA. Venice, specifically, was an obvious choice. It's a destination point all on its own, and has a creative community already in place. Venice has a longstanding association with the arts, with many notable artists living and working here, as we're just continuing that tradition. [L&M co-founders] Dominique Levy and Robert Mnuchin also fell in love with the building.
L&M Arts oversees a combination of both historical and contemporary art shows, how has this been important for you? How will it be important in L.A?
As I mentioned, it's an ideal combination for someone who is interested in the past, and its relationship to the present. It's difficult to do both and do them both well, but the challenge makes it exciting. I've found the LA art community interesting and interested. And if there is an exhibition of note, people will see it. So, if we can provide more of that, I know LA will appreciate it.
How do you perceive L&M's changing image?
I think L&M has traditionally been singled out for its strength of putting together museum quality historical exhibitions, like our recent Calder/Tanguy show. But they have increasingly shown more contemporary artists, alone and in conjunction with their predecessors, and the L.A. gallery will be taking that even further.
Can you talk a little about your relationship to Paul McCarthy? You organized his last show at Patrick Painter: how will his show at L&M differ?
I first met Paul when I worked with Jeffrey Deitch and worked on the "Everything that is Interesting is New" exhibition and catalogue. Jeffrey also owned The Garden which is one of my favorite works of art to this day. So the possibility of working with him was ideal, and this was one of the things that drew me to move to Los Angeles and work with Patrick Painter. I had the chance to work with him on several shows, which I think we both really enjoyed. He did one more show at the gallery after I left.
This exhibit is different in every way. He hasn't shown in L.A. for 10 years and in that time his work has changed quite a bit. He was free to present what he wanted, and there are always so many ongoing projects in McCarthy world. But in the end, Paul will be showing three monumental sculptures. Each one is a remarkable feat of artistic production. More importantly, however, they are works that are a culmination of several major themes and subjects that have been running throughout his work for many years.
Will the gallery continue to focus locally in the future?
Of course it's significant that Paul is an L.A. artist. One of the reasons L&M chose to be here was because there were so many great artists working in L.A. that weren't necessarily showing here. In our first year, in addition to Paul, we will be showing the work of Thomas Houseago and Liza Lou, both of whom live here. We were interested in showcasing LA artists, for sure, but our program is purely based on artistic merit, not geography.
As the New York gallery has been known for its quality shows of modern masters, we intend to continue that conversation in L.A. and include the influential artists of this generation. L&M's intention is ambitious, but we hope to sum it up in our first year. Paul's show will be followed by a major presentation of a historical figure, then a young artist whose career is firmly on the rise, and so on.
Advice for a young gallerist?
Wow. I have more to say than this interview allows, but I guess I would say that if you love what you do, really love it, then that alone will take you where you want to go. Start at the bottom, learn as much as you can from a person or people you really admire and then eventually find your own voice and figure out what you have to offer. The greatest thing about our profession is that it accepts all kinds; you just have to want to be part of it. Success is whatever you want it to be and culture has been shaped by as many well known dealers as peripheral ones. This is even truer now. May the force be with you.

Options for Promoting Youth Engagement and Employment in Climate-Smart Agriculture (Part One)
The global food demands will double by 2050 as the population increases. Concurrently, climate science suggests that our agricultural production methods need to adjust to less predictable rainfall, warmer temperatures and more frequent extreme weather events. Several major research reports demonstrate that agriculture could address climate change, unemployment, urbanization, desertification, water pollution, among other environmental challenges.
With these escalating challenges of food and climate change, it is in the interest of development organizations, governments, private sector, and communities to invest in agricultural practices that are adaptive to climate change; that lower or prevent associated greenhouse gas emissions; that generate income for farmers; and that ensures food security.
Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) fulfils these needs; champions the international development community. It is agriculture that sustainably increases productivity, resilience (adaptation), reduces or removes greenhouses gas emissions (mitigation), and enhances achievement of national/global food security among other development goals. Its elements which comprise of effective practices - ranging from conservation agriculture, agroforestry, watershed management among others - are already practised by pockets of smallholder farmers across the globe and could be scaled out to increase productivity .
With increasing vulnerability of communities to climate change impacts and projected future impacts of climate change, it is urgent to adopt and scale out the CSA practices and innovations across the world, particularly in developing countries where most of the food is produced. However, the ageing population of farmers is less likely to understand this urgency, let alone develop the capacity to adopt these innovations. A new generation of farmers is required.
There is increasing worldwide momentum that recognises young people as the new generation of food producers. Smallholder farmers in developing countries supply up to 70 per cent of the world's food . In these countries too, over 40 percent of the population are young people, who face increasing unemployment rates. For instance, two-thirds of the population across sub-Saharan Africa are below the age of 25 years. Of these, 44 per cent are below 15 years of age. As food demand increases, there will be a growing pressure on these younger people to feed the future and contribute meaningfully to their national economies.
Young people can substantially contribute to agriculture and rural development, but often, systemic challenges hold them up:-
- The prevailing perceptions and attitudes towards agriculture mainly acquired when growing and schooling. The current generation of young people have been socialized to look down upon agriculture as a dirty, unproductive, and poor man's activity for the unschooled, and instead value white collar jobs. Unfortunately these are not forthcoming, and the world populations continues to increase demanding more food ;
- Lack of an enabling environment for prospective young farmers including access to productive like land and capital, markets, research and partnerships;
- Lack of a favourable political environment for the agricultural sector at a national, regional, and international level, for instance in trade, infrastructure, transfer of technologies etc.;
- Inadequate skills and skills mismatch among the youth (e.g. in production, processing and business skills). Education reforms have failed to produce skilled workers, while the teaching of entrepreneurial skills and behaviours is often not properly integrated into school curricula and may not teach students self-reliance and risk-taking;
- Generational gap, for instance in the transfer of indigenous farming knowledge from adult farmers to young farmers;
- Labour market discriminations often result into a high rate of young women unemployed, or underemployed. The lack of employment –promoting strategies in most countries and culture often further compounds this challenge; and
- Other impacts of globalization that hinder prospective young farmers including urbanization, economic uncertainties, and price volatilities among others.
These notwithstanding, young people bring several thrusts to CSA as a solution to food security, climate change, and inclusive economic growth. To start with, they easily adopt and adapt new knowledge to fit their needs. The current generation of young people are leading in ICT innovation and application in varied sectors of health, finance, education, security, and agriculture among others. Young people are energetic, dynamic, with an increasing number getting educated. This means they are effectively on a pathway to obtain appropriate skills in CSA and related livelihood enhancement approaches. The third thrust comes from the youth dividend. Offering over 40% of the world population, particularly in developing countries where most of the food is produced, and where there are approximately 11 million youth joining the labour market every year, CSA promises opportunities for youth self-employment and job creation. Finally, the need for young people to create independent spaces of action well fits into the context of CSA as they create employment through the value and supply chains, as well as in diversified investments in CSA.

The Sea-coast
87. Sapharea - (Safariyah ?)
Herbert Donner (The Mosaic Map of Madaba, Kampen 1992, 55)
Probably the correct greek was Safarea.The village is not mentioned elsewhere in Byzantine literature, but is attested as Saphyria in the Crusaders' times. It is identical with as-Safirya, about 5 km northwest of Lydda (Diospolis).
Michael Avi-Yonah (The Madaba Mosaic Map, Jerusalem 1954, 62)
P. O'Callaghan ( "Madaba", in Dictionnaire de la Bible. Suppl. V, Paris 1953, 627-704., col. 674) noted in 1950 that the first extant letter resembles much more a rho than a phi; possibly the correct Greek was Sapharea and the reference is to Serifin of the Mishna (Menahoth, x, 2), Arabic Sarafend, instead of Shafrir, Arabic es-Sefiriye. The place is mentioned only here. On. 156, 23 Sapheir refers to another village.

Sorry, no definitions found. You may find more data at hexaemeron.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
The first of four tendencies or occasions lay in the continuing efforts at exegesis of Genesis and the com - pilation of works entitled Hexaemeron or On the Six
At any rate it seems quite impossible that the well-ordered and clear account of the Hexaemeron should be the outcome of the complicated and obscure presentation of the Avesta and the Pahlavi literature.
The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 7: Gregory XII-Infallability
During the Scholastic age, too, the literal interpretation of the Hexaemeron was the prevalent one, as may be seen in the great works of Peter
The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 7: Gregory XII-Infallability
The Hexaemeron is the title of nine homilies delivered by St. Basil on the cosmogony of the opening chapters of Genesis.
James's "Hexaemeron" is preserved in two MSS., one of which is found in Leyden, and the other in Lyons; (2) commendaries and scholia on the Sacred Writings of both
Among the poetical creations of the earliest times must be mentioned the didactic poem "Hexaemeron", by
The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 4: Clandestinity-Diocesan Chancery
"Hexaemeron" and from a series of treatises on Genesis by Philo.
One of its best examples is the "Hexaemeron" of Geogius
Gennadius (De viris illustr., xiii) furthermore attributes to Prudentius, mistakenly perhaps, a "Hexaemeron" of which we know nothing.

Hi it would be of great assistance if :
Use Galois correspondence to find all the covering spaces of
S^1 x S^1 x RP^2 (real projective plane is RP^2)
Any help would be great. Thanks
Since X is semi-locally simply connected, there exists a Galois correspondence between subgroups of the fundamental group and path-connected covering spaces of X.
The fundamental group of X is .
We shall find all the subgroups of and connect each subgroup to its corresponding path-connected covering space of X.
("A subgroup of " "A corresponding path-connected covering space of X")
1. {e} . This is a universal cover of X.
2. .
3. .
4. .
5. , where n and m are positive integers greater than 1.
In this case, consider a covering map given by , where is a polar coordinate in the plane . The map , where n is a positive integer, wraps the circle around itself n times. Thus is a covering space of , corresponding a fundamental group .
6. , where n is a positive integer greater than 1. It is similar to (5).
7. itself.
This problem becomes much more difficult if . It is because free product groups are involved in the fundamental group of X, and it is not easy to find all subgroups of a free product group and draw its Cayley graph.

The Senate Ways and Means Committee approved a no-new-taxes budget Thursday evening that could go to the Senate floor as early as today after a stop in the Rules Committee this morning at 9:30.
Clues to the floor vote can be found in last night's committee tally, in which nearly all Republicans voted for the budget along with their Democratic ally, Majority Leader Rodney Tom, and four Democrats in the minority: Jim Hargrove, Sharon Nelson, Karen Fraser and Brian Hatfield.
Democrats Steve Conway, Bob Hasegawa and Jeanne Kohl-Welles voted no, and Karen Keiser, Ed Murray and Kevin Ranker voted to forward the plan without recommendation. One conservative Republican, Mike Padden, joined the Democrats in that latter neutral category.
Today, a group of House Democrats who focus on health care and human service issues say they will "issue their response" to the Senate budget at a noon news conference. Pierce County lawmakers Laurie Jinkins, Tami Green and Dawn Morrell will join Eileen Cody and Ruth Kagi at the event.

Raiders cornerbacks Nnamdi Asomugha (knee) and Fabian Washington (calf) missed a second day of practice Thursday. Raiders coach Lane Kiffin hopes they'll play Sunday, but just imagine if they don't.
Oakland went with seven cornerbacks on the 53-man roster this season, but Stanford Routt is the only proven commodity in the bunch. Chris Carr can play in a bind, but there's a reason his emphasis is on special teams return and nickle coverage.
Chris Johnson is another option, but then who? The only thing rookie John Bowie is known for is being the player Oakland drafted with the pick they got from New England for Randy Moss.
If Asomugha and Washington practice today, all well be well. If they can't go, it might be the first time an opposing team opted to throw against the Raiders instead of run against their front-seven.
In other news at practice:
Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears is sellout, team officials said Thursday. Good thing the Patriots-Colts game was last week, when the Raiders were blacked out locally.
Defensive tackle Warren Sapp missed a second day with a knee injury. Kiffin didn't sound as optimistic Sapp would play as he did Wednesday, so we'll see.
Kiffin let everyone in on a little secret about running back Justin Fargas: his nickname at USC?
"Crash Test Dummy," said Kiffin, who had Fargas his senior year in college.
That's a reference to Fargas' nose for a violent collision, what with his upright running style and refusal to go down.

School's out, school's out! Yippee! Woo hoo! I think teachers are more excited about Christmas break than the students. And this year there are no travels planned, no school work hanging over my head, no last minute Christmas gifts to fight the crowds over, so pour a glass of wine and let the relaxing begin!
And while I really am intending to rest, I have set an ambitious goal for my two week break. We receive a half bushel of fresh, local produce every two weeks from our CSA called Bountiful Blessings Farm. In a two-person household, it's a race against the clock to consume all of that organic goodness while it's still fresh. So it's my goal to come up with creative ways to use all of my CSA veggies before they start to wilt. And I'm not going to resort to blending them into a green smoothie!
Last night I started with the swiss chard, because I wasn't going to chance losing this gorgeous bunch.
Using a friend's recommendation, I modified a recipe from Food and Wine's site and created a stew that I will be making over and over again.
The magical ingredient just might be the baby bellas that I added.
Or maybe it was the fresh oregano.
Or maybe it was that feeling of freedom in the crisp pre-Christmas air. In any case, I think you're really going to enjoy this dish. It's rich, hearty, and feels like a warm hug on a winter's night.
Spicy Swiss Chard and Veggie Stew
- 4 pounds Swiss chard, large stems discarded and leaves cut crosswise into 2-inch strips
- 1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
- 2 c. sliced portobello mushrooms
- 1 T. fresh chopped oregano
- 2 cans diced tomatoes
- Two 16-ounce cans of cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- Salt to taste
1. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Add the chard and simmer for about 8 minutes over moderate heat until they are tender. Drain the greens in a colander and let it sit.
2. Heat the olive oil in the sauce pan and add the garlic and crushed red pepper. Cook over moderate heat until the garlic is golden and your mouth starts watering.
3. Add the mushrooms and sauté until tender.
4. Add the tomatoes and fresh chopped oregano and bring it to a boil.
5. Add the cannellini beans and simmer over moderately high heat for 3 minutes.
6. Add the chard, reduce to medium heat, and simmer until the flavors blend together.
7. Season the stew with salt and serve.
So what's next? Brussel sprouts. Any suggestions, readers?

I refuse to accept the ideology that I need constant guidance from a "God", when I know I have it in me already to know right from wrong. And knowing I have it in me already to know right from wrong is not thinking I'm on the same level as "God" or being "all-knowing". I think that knowing right from wrong is something that we are innately born with; something "God" gave us. But society decided to distort our views of ourselves so that we don't believe ourselves to be conscious enough to make decisions for ourselves, because that way we're easier to control. And when you believe you constantly do things that are wrong, it's easy to believe you need guidance. Interesting coincidence that it's the bible and organized religion that makes people believe that they're constantly doing things wrong ("sinning"). So if you refuse to go by what the bible and religion tries to tell you, then you refuse to believe that you are "sinning". If religious people believe in the bible and what they are preached, then they believe that they are sinning, constantly and daily.
It must be Hell to think so lowly of yourself that you don't know right from wrong to the point where you need serious "guidance" daily, only to find that you do nothing but continue to "sin" anyway.
An atheist would believe that they're not sinning in the first place. As long as an atheist does what they believe in their heart is right, what's the point in them asking for "guidance" that will make them suddenly believe that they're doing wrong?

– The RAA
Like a lot of our songs, "On the Rocks" had a lengthy gestational period. The core elements of the song have been around for a while now, but it wasn't until we sat down to start working on "Mended with Gold" that I feel the three of us were really on the same page with it.
When I initially wrote "On the Rocks", it was more of a delicate finger picked song. However, after we wrapped recording of "Departing" I started playing around with it as a keyboard version and I really wanted to take it more in the vein of Casiotone For The Painfully Alone. While still touring the last record in late 2012, we still tried it as a guitar song but it just didn't seem to click the same way as it did the first time we started performing it and as it appears on the album now.
The song itself is an amalgamation of a lot of different memories and emotions, but the heart of it centers around the acceptance of an ending relationship. I'm personally really happy with the chorus of the song:
Our Hearts they were strong / Never made a sound
Our love was on the rocks / The day we let it out
Nothing going wrong / Nothing going down
There is a resignation to the chorus, but not in a hurtful way; it's more an honest acceptance.
As an additional note, one of the events which inspired "On the Rocks" is related to my first trip out to Newfoundland well over a decade ago. So I'm also pretty happy with the double entendre as it relates to the song. We may be The Rural Alberta Advantage, but anyone from who was knows Northen Alberta (ie. Fort McMurray) will understand that Newfoundland isn't too far out of my wheelhouse. – Nils
Some of our best songs are the ones that we ripped apart and put together over and over, like Stamp off Departing and Frank off Hometowns. On The Rocks is one of those. It started as a warm, folky song, but we were getting frustrated with it. Then Nils had this awesome idea for a electronic rhythm and feel, and it felt right immediately – probably my favourite on the record. – Paul
Our new album, Mended With Gold, will be released on September 30th with a huge tour behind it starting in Detroit on October 9th! We can't wait to see you all soon.

New Album, Mended With Gold, out September 30
July 8, 2014
The Rural Alberta Advantage announce new album Mended With Gold out September 30 on Saddle Creek and Paper Bag Records.
Stream "Terrified" below:
"The Toronto-based trio, led by born-and-bred Albertan Nils Edenloff are full of nostalgic songs about hometowns and heartbreaks, marrying salt-of-the-earth acoustic rock to energetic rhythms and grand orchestral arrangements." – Pitchfork
"The band shines in its own ability to blend pared-down composition with fast-paced percussion and lyrics that could only come from, well, rural Alberta." – Filter
The Rural Alberta Advantage will release their highly-anticipated third album, Mended With Gold, on September 30th via Saddle Creek. The twelve-track album was recorded at Toronto's Candle Recording with the band's long-time live engineer Matt Lederman (Hayden, !!!, Besnard Lakes) alongside co-producer Leon Taheny (Owen Pallett, Austra, F*cked Up). Mended With Gold's "Terrified" is available to stream and share via SoundCloud. Mended With Gold can be pre-ordered now on CD, LP, Deluxe LP (clear with gold splatter vinyl) and digitally in the Saddle Creek and Paper Bag Records online shops. The Rural Alberta Advantage has just announced an extensive tour in support of their upcoming release. A full list of tour dates can be found below.
In 2006 singer-songwriter Nils Edenloff, percussionist Paul Banwatt, and multi-instrumentalist Amy Cole came together to release their debut self-titled EP as The Rural Alberta Advantage. The ensuing years have brought two full-length albums (2008's Hometowns and 2011's Departing), widespread critical praise (SPIN, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, NPR, among others), two Juno Award nominations (Best New Group, Video of the Year), the Polaris Music Prize Long List, and a hard earned reputation as one of the most impressive live bands you'll ever see. It was through all of this that The RAA's latest album, Mended With Gold, took shape.
Nils recalls, "Last spring, I rented a remote cottage up in the Bruce Peninsula on the recommendation of some friends to try to do some writing for the new album. It turned out to be a pretty terrifying place to be alone with your thoughts – locals told me to watch out for black bears, the heat wasn't working and at night it sounded like the cottage was surrounded by wolves. I slept with a pocket knife at arms-reach. It's funny the lines that will run through your head when you're alone like that and trying to get yourself to sleep- they inspired "To Be Scared", which is probably one of my favorite songs on the record."
The ideas and moods created in these songs tie back to the album title Mended With Gold, embracing the idea that the breakage and repair of an object becomes part of its unique history and ultimately makes it more valuable instead of a blemish to disguise. The Rural Alberta Advantage have taken all of their successes, losses, adventures, and heartbreaks over the past few years, and forged them together into an unforgettably powerful work of beauty.

The winter months were long for us too in Toronto this year, and we spent a lot of those days inside the studio at Candle Recording.

In The Summertime
June 17, 2011
Sorry for the lack of updates here on the main page (hopefully you've been following our Twitter or Facebook pages for the latest). We were battling spotty internet connections from the road, but now we're back and happy to be home from our winter/spring tour. We were able to visit many of you across Canada, the USA, and Europe, and we loved every minute of the tour (that didn't involve trying to park our vehicles in regular parking garages or eating suspicious foodstuffs from gas stations). Good times, but for now we're content to relax in Toronto for the next little while, rest, regroup, and get ready for the summer.
We'll be playing several summer festivals in Canada this year- check out the dates on our Tour page.
We are also honoured to be on the Polaris Music Prize long list this year for our record, Departing. This is, quite simply, a huge deal for us and we're really humbled to have been recognized. We also have many friends who are nominated as well (too many to name!) and it's exciting to be in such company. Check out the list and go listen to some of the records/band you haven't heard yet on there, they're all great!
In other news, we're working on a new music video for "Muscle Relaxants", to be directed by José Lourenço, who also masterminded our "Stamp" vid.
And have you seen our "Southern Souls" video series? Check 'em out!
Hope to see you again on the road this summer.

The RAA on CBC's Q Friday!
March 3, 2011
We'll be guests on CBC Radio 1's Q Friday as Jian Ghomeshi's "Friday Live" guests. We're going to play a few songs and chat about the new record, our upcoming tour, and other intriguing topics to be determined. Should be a good time! Check out www.cbc.ca/q to find out what time it airs in your neighbourhood.

The Abbasid Dynasty was founded on two disaffected Islamic populations: non-Arabic Muslims and Shi'ites. For the most part, the Islamic impetus to the Abassid revolution lay in the secularism of the Umayyad caliphs. The Umayyads had always been outsiders—as a wealthy clan in Mecca, they had opposed Muhammad—and the secularism and sometime degeneracy that accompanied their caliphate delegitimized their rule for many devout Muslims. The Abassids took their name from al-'Abbas, a paternal uncle of Muhammad and early supporter of the Prophet. Their close kinship to Muhammad and the position of al-'Abbas as a Companion of the Prophet served them well in gaining support. As early as 718 AD, during the reign of Umar II, Muhammad ibn 'Ali, a great-grandson of al-'Abbas, began to proselytize in Persia to rally support for returning the caliphate to the family of the Prophet, the Hashimites.

Aclara STAR ZoneScan Cited as One of Ten Stand-Out Technologies at ACE12
Jul 23, 2012, 08:00 ET from Aclara
CLEVELAND, July 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Aclara's STAR® ZoneScan leak-detection system was named one of the 10 Stand-Out Technologies from ACE12 by Water Online, a leading publication covering the water industry. Editor Kevin Westerling identified STAR ZoneScan as particularly relevant to reducing the operational costs of a utility by helping them effectively find leaks in the water distribution system. Aclara is a leading vendor of Intelligent Infrastructure solutions and a member of the Utility Solutions Group of ESCO Technologies Inc. (NYSE: ESE).
Logo: (http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100921/CG68648LOGO)
"The Aclara STAR ZoneScan is a breakthrough technology for the water industry," said Steve Pittman, vice-president of marketing for Aclara. "It allows water utilities to efficiently and automatically collect data that will help them accurately pinpoint potential leaks on water mains to within a few feet, saving both time and money."
The STAR ZoneScan solution was developed by Aclara in conjunction with Gutermann International, a Swiss firm that is a cutting-edge vendor of acoustic leak-detection systems. The Gutermann solution places loggers that monitor the acoustic characteristics of water flowing through pipes on concurrent valves in the water distribution system. The data collected by the loggers is analyzed by the utility to identify possible leak locations.
What makes the STAR ZoneScan system unique is that Aclara automates the process of collecting the data from loggers. Typically, utilities must physically be present at logger locations to collect acoustic data. This means sending a crew out to the logger site, usually in the middle of the night when noise from traffic won't interfere with reading accuracy. STAR ZoneScan eliminates this process by allowing the utility to trigger automatic data collection and transmission directly from the utility.
For more information on STAR ZoneScan, please visit the STAR ZoneScan page at Aclara.com.
About Aclara
Aclara® represents the industry's leading Intelligent Infrastructure technologies for providing device networking, data-value management, and customer communications to water, gas, and electric utilities globally. Over 500 utilities in nine countries rely on proven Aclara solutions to connect with their customers. Aclara Technologies LLC is part of the Utility Solutions Group of ESCO Technologies Inc.

Florida Trails Our Latest Active Travel Destination
I don't know about where you live, but it's awfully cold here today. Wouldn't it be nice to escape to somewhere warm where we could ride some beautiful trails in shorts and a t-shirt? I'm thinking a Florida vacation sounds good about now. A long, scenic trail is just what the doctor ordered. A nice mix of typical Florida beaches & theme parks and some of the best bike trails in America would be the ideal spring, winter or fall vacation.
What Personal Transportation Vehicle would you take on a Florida trail if you had your druthers? You can take the poll below or the one located on the Florida Trails Tour page:

Recent rains mean good things for crops, but mean more mosquitoes
April 17, 2012 at midnight
Updated April 16, 2012 at 11:17 p.m.
The Sunday night downpour that doused the Crossroads and, in some areas, dropped hail, brought a mixed bag to the region.
While the moisture was a bonus, experts said the incoming mosquitoes might leave something to be desired.
The rains were a welcome sight to thirsty crops, which suffered from dry conditions the past 12 to 15 months, said Stephen Biles, Texas AgriLife Extension agent for integrated pest management.
While the past 60 days brought some rain, he said the area needs more to get through the growing season. Crops such as cotton, grain sorghum and corn require 18 to 20 inches of water, he said.
"These rains we get are ideal for crop season," he said. "They really help."
Although helpful, the precipitation also brings a likely increase in insects, Biles said. Many insects feed on, plants so, when the plants fare better, the bugs do, too.
The insect most people relate to rainfall is the mosquito, which hatches its eggs in pools of water, he said.
He recommended people use a mosquito repellant when venturing outside, and to wear light-colored shirts with long sleeves.
"That will reduce contact with mosquitoes and keep them from being able to get to your skin," he explained.
It isn't just humans that have to worry about the buzzing, biting bugs, however. The family pet might also feel the effects.
Mosquitoes and heartworms go together, said Dr. Tom Moscatelli, who owns Moscatelli Veterinary Clinic.
A mosquito that feeds on a dog with heartworms sucks up the microscopic worm, he explained. It develops inside the mosquito and, when that bug bites another dog, it can transport the worm into the capillaries.
"Six months later, you can have an 8 to 12-inch adult worm in the (heart's) right ventricle," he said.
Moscatelli urged pet owners to get their dogs on monthly heartworm prevention if they don't have it already, but said to get pets tested first. Dogs can suffer anaphylactic shock if they're already infected when given the medicine.
Outdoor cats, too, can benefit from heartworm prevention.
"You want to protect them," he said of family pets. "You want to keep them safe."
