Betteridges Law of Headlines notwithstanding, I am not sure there is a clear, unequivocal answer to the question. For the most part, they are my files. I put them on iCloud for safe storage. I think they are my files. I own them. I should be able to control them.
Yet, we hear of computer breaches every day or two; some with hundreds of millions of users who had their personal information hacked by criminals, hackers, or even members of the U.S. government. Some files we store online may even be retrieved by government order. Is what's mine mine or only sometimes mine?
Software Licenses
I ask the question because I worry about what I think is mine but it may turn out not to be mine as much as I thought. Let's take software as an example. Most applications we buy have an agreement of some sort. Let me use the iOS App Store as an example. We can use the apps we buy, but we can't resell the apps. Therefore, we do not really own the apps in the same way we can buy a car, use it for years, then sell it to someone else, so we're really not in full control of what we bought, right?
Some applications, usually not App Store versions, allow for license transfer with a serial number. Fair enough. We've also entered the age of subscriptions whereby we pay to use an application which may create files which we use and store, but once we stop paying for the monthly or annual subscription, what happens to the files? Are they mine? Can I exercise control? I want to think they are my files and I control their whereabouts and usage, but in some cases those files may be useless without the application that created the files in the first place. What good is owning a file if you cannot use the file or control how the file is used?
Those questions are slightly different than the original: 'Do you control the files you store in iCloud?' For now, the answer is more complicated than a mere yes or a simple no. The entities which own the cloud locations where I store my files– Apple and iCloud is a good example– may have restrictions on the types and uses of such files, and they may be subject to various laws and legal requests to obtain those files and turn them over to government authorities without my authorization, and perhaps without my knowledge.
File Forfeiture
How much control of such files do we really have if someone can make a legal challenge to whereby Apple can be obliged to turn them over after such requests? If files on my Mac or iPhone are in my possession (and, ostensibly, within my control), certain legal requests may be issued which require me to turn said files over to authorities. I may own the files but not in every case am I able to control their usage or even their whereabouts.
We hear of this issue occasionally in civil asset forfeiture cases.
Civil asset forfeiture is a legal tool that allows law enforcement officials to seize property that they assert has been involved in certain criminal activity. In fact, the owner of the property doesn't even need to be guilty of a crime: Civil asset forfeiture proceedings charge the property itself with involvement in a crime. This means that police can seize your car, home, money, or valuables without ever having to charge you with a crime. There are many, many stories of innocent people being stripped of their money and property by law enforcement.
Anybody have a problem with that?
If I own my files and store them in the cloud and a governmental authority determines that my files– maybe even an application I create– was used in criminal activity, those files can be confiscated by authorities and I have almost no recourse to defend and control what belongs to me, regardless of their usage by me.
Anybody have a problem with that? How can we protect ourselves against such intrusions?

You want to save money for a specific purpose such as your child's college education preferably abroad. Among varied options that you have, Traditional Endowment Policies are a good option. Moneymindz India's Best Free On-call Traditional Endowment Plan Financial Advisory Portal is of the opinion that Traditional Endowment Plans are suitable in planning for specific needs such as higher education of children.
In Traditional Endowment Plans, even if the parents die, the children are given a death benefit with the funds for college education intact. Oncall Financial Advisory, Moneymindz says that Traditional Endowment Policies ensure that the beneficiaries are provided capital so as to help them prepare for further education or such other needs.
What is Traditional Endowment Policy?
A Traditional Endowment Policy is a life insurance contract designed to pay a lump sum after a specific term or upon death. Maturities range from ten to twenty years usually. Moneymindz India's Best Free Online Traditional Endowment Plan Financial Advisory Portal says that you select how much you want to save each month and when you want the policy to mature. Your monthly contributions decide the payout called "endowment". Returns are guaranteed and risk free.
Features of Traditional Endowment Plans
- Life coverage and a benefit to earn returns
Traditional Endowment Policies offer you life coverage apart from an opportunity to earn returns. Insurance and investment put together.
- Entire sum assured is offered to the beneficiary of the policy holder
In case something goes wrong or the policyholder is dead, the beneficiary gets the sum assured.
- Save for future investments over a long period
Save sufficient money for investing it again so as to gain further returns from it in the future that will make you rich.
Merits of Traditional Endowment Plans
- Low-risk way to save
You get to select the amount you want to pay and the frequency of time you want to pay the premium as a policyholder.
- No need to worry about ups and downs of the market
The policyholder and his/her beneficiary is given the endowment at the end of the term so there is no need to worry about market ups and downs.
- Disciplined saving
You would need to set aside a pre-determined amount towards the premium payment at a designated time interval. This encourages disciplined savings.
- Loan available
A policyholder can borrow money against an endowment policy whenever required without the requirement of securing the loan against collateral.
- Tax can be saved
Section 80C of Income Tax Act mandates that tax benefit is provided on the annual premium while section 10D mandates that death claim is completely tax-free.
These are just some things you need to know. For more information visit www.moneymindz.com or give a missed call to 022-62116588

Shrek comes to the great outdoors
Shrek was a classic movie back in the early 2000's. I'd be lying if I said I still didn't watch it every now and again.
The cast alone made the movie great. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz are all big names still in the entertainment industry, and they portrayed their characters perfectly.
Not to mention the music in the film. "I'm A Believer" and "All Star"—both by Smash Mouth—were a couple of my favorites. It's funny for children and adults to watch, so it hits all audiences.
Watching an ogre become best friends with a donkey, then falling in love with a princess that just so happens to also be an ogre from a curse is a perfect spin on the usual fairytales.
With that in mind, get ready because "Shrek: The Musical" is coming to the mountain, this time with even more music, since (obviously), now it is indeed a full-fledged musical
If you've grown up with the Shrek movies, and want some unusual outdoor summer fun, make sure to go to the Signal Mountain Playhouse on Friday or Saturday at 6 p.m. If you want more information, you can call the Playhouse at (423) 763-7219 or visit their website at smph.org.

How to use more Advanced Commands!
/summon /summon is used to summon any entity, such as a zombie or a dropped item. Type into the chat:"/summon Villager". This will summon a random villager right at your feet. Typing:"/summon " and then pressing tab will show all the things you can summon; a lot of things!
Note: Giant is a giant zombie, and summoning Item Frames isn't working currently, as of 1.8.
You can also summon entities at specified coordinates. Type into the chat:"/summon Villager ~ ~2 ~". This will summon a Villager 2 blocks above your head. If your going to enter at a specified location, type:"/summon Entity x y z" while replacing Entity with your entity of choice, and x y and z with your specific coordinates.
Note: You cannot summon an entity outside loaded chunks, and ~ can be used as any coordinate.
Data tags would be the next thing, but it's all crazy complicated. Just to see what it can do, type:"/summon Villager ~ ~ ~ {Profession:2}", and you'll get a purple Villager! There are loads of YouTube videos which show how you can use many of these NBT tags, such as changing speed, health, armor, and dropped items!

Market facts
Market facts about the Indian steel industries
Market size
India's finished steel consumption grew at a CAGR of 5.69 per cent during FY08-FY18 to reach 90.68 MT.
India's crude steel and finished steel production increased to 102.34 MT and 104.98 MT in 2017-18, respectively.
In 2017-18, the country's finished steel exports increased 17 per cent year-on-year to 9.62 million tonnes (MT), as compared to 8.24 MT in 2016-17. Exports and imports of finished steel stood at 1.35 MT and 1.89 MT, during Apr-Jun 2018.
Steel industry and its associated mining and metallurgy sectors have seen a number of major investments and developments in the recent past.
According to the data released by Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), the Indian metallurgical industries attracted Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) to the tune of US$ 10.84 billion in the period April 2000–June 2018.
Some of the major investments in the Indian steel industry are as follows:
JSW Steel will be looking to further enhance the capacity of its Vijayanagar plant from 13 MTPA to 18 MTPA. In June 2018, the company had announced plans to expand the plant's production capacity to 13 MTPA by 2020 with an investment of Rs 7,500 crore (US$ 1.12 billion).
Vedanta Star Ltd has outbid other companies to acquire Electrosteel Steels for US$ 825.45 million.
Tata Steel won the bid to acquire Bhushan Steel by offering a consideration of US$ 5,461.60 million.
JSW Steel has planned a US$ 4.14 billion capital expenditure programme to increase its overall steel output capacity from 18 million tonnes to 23 million tonnes by 2020.
Tata Steel has decided to increase the capacity of its Kalinganagar integrated steel plant from 3 million tonnes to 8 million tonnes at an investment of US$ 3.64 billion.
Government Initiatives
Some of the other recent government initiatives in this sector are as follows:
An export duty of 30 per cent has been levied on iron ore^ (lumps and fines) to ensure supply to domestic steel industry.
Government of India's focus on infrastructure and restarting road projects is aiding the boost in demand for steel. Also, further likely acceleration in rural economy and infrastructure is expected to lead to growth in demand for steel.
The Union Cabinet, Government of India has approved the National Steel Policy (NSP) 2017, as it seeks to create a globally competitive steel industry in India. NSP 2017 targets 300 million tonnes (MT) steel-making capacity and 160 kgs per capita steel consumption by 2030.
The Ministry of Steel is facilitating setting up of an industry driven Steel Research and Technology Mission of India (SRTMI) in association with the public and private sector steel companies to spearhead research and development activities in the iron and steel industry at an initial corpus of Rs 200 crore (US$ 30 million).
Road ahead
India is expected to overtake Japan to become the world's second largest steel producer soon. The National Steel Policy, 2017, has envisaged 300 million tonnes of production capacity by 2030.
In 2018, steel consumption of the country is expected to grow 5.7 per cent year-on-year to 92.1 MT*.
Huge scope for growth is offered by India's comparatively low per capita steel consumption and the expected rise in consumption due to increased infrastructure construction and the thriving automobile and railways sectors.

Computers In The Classroom Essay, Research Paper
Computers In The Classroom
In Postman s essay, Virtual Students, Digital Classroom, he argues about the technology in the classrooms. Postman comes to the conclusion that high-technology (computers) in the classroom is just another thing that will not solve anymore of our problems and will also take over his job as a teacher. My conclusion is that computers in the classroom will not help kids learn more about their school subjects. Postman and I agree because if you put computers in the classroom then you take away the teachers and then who teaches? Teachers go to school to learn to teach the subject and how to teach it to the students.
+ Postman uses strong words to get his point across and express his ideas. He also uses self-presentation. Postman represents himself as a knowledgeable, informative and opinionated person. Postman is knowledgeable on this subject because in his essay Postman says that teachers will be regulated to the backwoods, (974) he feels that computers will take over his job. Effects of educational technology on teachers should be emphasized because teachers remain in the classroom to influence many generations of students (ETS). The most important teaching tool is the instructor, who must be knowledgeable about the subject matter and skilled in the methods of instruction. To get the highest incidence of such people, the position must be well-paid and respected (Ransom). Computers can be an important teaching tool but it can't replace dedicated teachers (Lucid).
Postman shows the real life impact of the technology such as the accessibility of the technology in the schools and the homes. He uses the example of …Little Mary who is presumably from a poorer home than Little Eva… (972). Mary may not be able to access the technology as easily as Eva may because Eva is from a richer family. Postman expresses himself as opinionated when he states I know a false god when I see one (974). He looks at high technology as a god instead of as an aid. He sees people worshiping this god instead of questioning this god about what it can do.
Technology allows a person to accomplish tasks faster, which in time gives people more time to do what they like. Before high technology there were still problems in the world. When we put computers in the classroom, that will just cause more problems. If we keep teachers in the classrooms then students have a better chance of learning what they came to learn because teachers can sit down with you and help you out one-on-one. The only thing a computer can do is show you information that might be unable to understand.
Postman did a good job of arguing this subject. His main point is that high technology in the classroom is just one more thing that will not solve any problems in this world. He also feels like one day that there will be no more teachers that the computers are going to take over and he will be out of a job. Just by putting computers in the classrooms, that is not going to help students learn more about one subject. We as students learn better if we have one-on-one help with the teacher. That s better than having a computer sitting in front of you and it doesn t talk back, and it can t explain to you what you need to learn or what you don t understand. Works Cited

Weekend Roundup: Special spring break edition
Editor's note: This article was initially published in The Daily Gazette, Swarthmore's online, daily newspaper founded in Fall 1996. As of Fall 2018, the DG has merged with The Phoenix. See the about page to read more about the DG.
Stuck on campus this weekend? Stuck on campus for all of break? Now, you truly have no excuse not to go do something rather than sit around and watch "The Big Lebowski" yet again.
Wherever you are, you can sit around and watch the Oscars instead, which are on Sunday night. (Well, maybe not if you're in a very exotic place. If only we were.) Will the "Brokeback Mountain" guys gallop to victory? (Probably.) Will someone give a drunken acceptance speech? (We can only hope.) Will host Jon Stewart be the biggest winner? (You bet.) Whether you've seen any of the movies or not, here's your chance to pretend you are an authority on all things Film. We are more interested in the decidedly less polished Independent Spirit awards the previous night, which will be broadcast on Bravo. Not because we've seen a higher percentage of the movies, just because of the principle of the thing.
If flowers are your thing, then you won't want to miss the Philadelphia Flower Show, running from March 5 to 12 at the Convention Center. It includes the largest plant sculpture, which, whether you're a flower person or not, sounds pretty cool. Even if we aren't quite sure what it is. It depicts Natura, the "goddess of Nature". (Which mythology is this, actually?) She's a reclining figure 25 feet tall and 60 feet long constructed entirely out of plants, and including a waterfall. The whole show includes over 10 acres of gardens. And it's inside! See http://www.theflowershow.com for more information.

I'm back!!! It's been two months since I posted on this little blog! Crazy...before my trip, I was posting a few times a week. I've been pretty busy since I've been back. If you are still with me -- thank you! I hope y'all have been keeping up with my study abroad blog {the "South Africa" tab at the top of this site}. If you haven't already, go through and read everything I wrote while I was there! I gained some great insight and learned a ton. As a matter of fact, this blog post is about something that was completely inspired by my trip and popped into my head on Week 3, Day 5 {to be exact}.
Let's see...it was a Thursday. I was on the Garden Route of South Africa {Eastern Cape} living in a hostel on the Indian Ocean...pretty far from my apartment in Cape Town. It was my "Adventure Week" with Global LEAD. In the afternoon, we headed over to the Bloukrans Bridge to do the tallest bungee jump in the world. That's right -- I was about to jump off of the tallest bungee bridge in the entire world. A big Guiness Book of World Records sign and everything. Go ahead, Google it. I'm not making this up.
I had to wait a while for my turn, and by the time I finally got to go, the sun was setting. It was gorgeous. The mountains were on one side, the water on the other...mesmerizing. I was trying to take it all in, but I couldn't really get over the fact that I was about to jump off this bridge as if it were nothing. So nonchalant. Was I really that crazy?! ALL of the activities I had done during that week, and during the whole trip, rather, were adventurous, impulsive, and downright exhilarating. But I had no hesitations, because I was dead-set on doing them full-out and head-on. This one was no exception.
They were playing super loud pump-up music underneath the bridge where we did the jump. All of my friends were cheering each others' names and being so encouraging and enthusiastic. The DJ wasn't taking requests, but I really wanted to request "Lose Yourself" by Eminem. Just thinking of 8 Mile, I couldn't imagine a better song to walk out onto a bridge to and take a big-a** jump into the air. But, they couldn't play it for me, so I just thought of the intro in my head, and I curled my toes on the edge of the bridge. Here we go. Let's do this S***.
"If you had one shot, or one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment: would you capture it, or just let it slip?"
Well...safe to say I captured it. About 5 seconds after this picture was taken, I remember what I was thinking: "%^&$%&*(^$@@$&)^$ WHY AM I DOING THIS?!" But after the initial shock {and that's all it was: shock}, I realized a few things: the sound of the bumping music had faded. I couldn't hear my friends cheering me on anymore; I heard nothing but the wind. It was quiet. I looked around, still falling, and was amazed at the beauty of the omniscient mountains...they were just everywhere, all around me. I've never felt such peace in my entire life...and then I remembered I was in the middle of the air. Flying. Attached to a cord that I couldn't even see. And I did all of this willingly. It was, literally, a leap of faith.
Later that night, we all went to a bar on the way home to have dinner and celebrate conquering the bridge and our Adventure Week coming to an end. I turned to Carole Anne, deep in thought, and said, "People are too concerned with finding themselves." She looks at me, confused, and goes..."What?" I said it again. "People are too concerned with finding themselves. It's more about losing ourselves. Like today. When we jumped off the bridge."
It had taken me jumping over 70 stories in the air to realize that LOSING yourself is the best way to find yourself. Let me explain:
When I jumped off that bridge, I let go of everything. I let go of fear. I let go of hesitations. I let go of the freakin' ground. Just like Eminem said, "there goes gravity." I just DID it. I lost it all and I flung myself into the air so that I could feel like flying and experience an out-of-body sense of peacefulness beyond comprehension. And in that moment, I learned a lot about myself. I found myself to be a strong and adventurous woman. I learned that fear is temporary, but regret is forever. I learned that I am brave, courageous, thrill-seeking, and, well, kind of outrageous. It was a special realization for me. What an accomplishment.
To build on that -- I think every twenty-something is WAY too wrapped up in "finding themselves," or at least, goes through a period where they feel that way. Every experience you ever have in this life gives you an opportunity to learn something about yourself. Every conversation you have, every person you meet, every place you visit. Or, if you're me, every shark you swim with, every plane you jump out of, every lion you get chased by. It all will teach you something if you just shut up and pay attention. STOP looking for your answers. They will come to you. If you submerge yourself and immerse yourself in the things that force you to let go of your inhibitions, clear your mind, and just go for it...those things that probably scare you...they will be the things that help you find yourself the most.
When I listen to music, I pay attention to the lyrics, to the instruments, to the rhythm, to the beat. I interpret, and I pay attention. I relate. I think about the way that the lyrics speak to me, too, or I think about what a great song this could be to dance to, being a dancer for so many years. And in that way, I find myself. Which leads me to...
When I dance. There's a quote in a Cameron Diaz book I'm reading right now {yes, Cam Diaz has written a book, look for my book review about it soon} that I really like. She writes..."When we are in motion, we connect with our own natures, where thinking comes second and all you are conscious of is the pure sensation of being in your body." This is exactly how I feel. I lose myself in the music {yes, like Eminem, no pun intended, seriously} and I just dance. I move the way that I feel. I let go of my thoughts. I lose myself for a little while. And I learn all kinds of things...I learn about my capabilities, my strengths, and my passions. Books, music, and dance are just a few examples of how LOSING yourself is the real way to find yourself.
I also did a lot of service while I was in Africa. There's a Gandhi quote that pertains to this very subject: "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." Let go of what's in it for you, focus on somebody else for a second, and give them all of you. You will learn so much about humanity, the world around you, life, other people, and yourself.
So YOU. Yes, you. STOP being one of those crazy people who is obsessed with finding herself. We are all guilty of it, but seriously, the best way to find yourself is to stop looking. Just do things. Do the things that scare you, and give them your all. Do things wholeheartedly, with no fear, and with open ears, open eyes, and an open mind. Make your mind shut up for a second. You will learn way more about yourself than you ever imagined possible, like I did on this study abroad trip. And if it means that you have to jump off of a bridge like I did...well, so be it, because that was pretty awesome.
I think that as people we continue to find ourselves for the rest of our lives. There's never a point that we reach, no matter how old we are or how many experiences we've had, where we can say to ourselves with complete certainty "Yep, this is it, this is me, I can't grow any more or learn any more or make any more progress. Ever again! I have reached my maximum potential." Because that's just not how it works. Which helps us realize how silly it is to put so much pressure on ourselves to find ourselves. Additionally, we put pressure on our image. "I hope nobody can see me crying," "I hope I don't run into anyone at the grocery store while I'm wearing this," "I hope nobody will get mad that I stated my opinion." Stop doing this stuff. Let it all go, release it. It's good, and it's healthy. We're always going to have realizations, sometimes in the simplest of things, of who each of us is as a person. So just take a chill pill, listen to some Eminem, read a book, and maybe, just maybe, go jump off a bridge. You'll figure it all out.
**Kind of think of your life as the chorus of that song..."Lose yourself in the music, the moments, you own it, you better never let it go. You only get ONE shot, do not miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime...**

NJF's Halloween Streaming 2017
I'm very late announcing this, I've just been having a lot of mixed feelings about my channel and was really even wondering if I wanted to do Halloween streaming this year, but then suddenly I realize I had already started. I guess it's one of those traditions I don't want to break. However, I should have been quicker announcing this on PureZC because there are fans of this series who are not in my discord channel and are probably not aware that I'm currently streaming.
This year, I wanted to feature another Classic Castlevania game, a Metroid game, a Metroidvania, and even introduce gritty survival horrors into the mix. There was simply no question as to what Classic Castlevania and Metroid game I wanted to play. I've been wanting to play Castlevania: Bloodlines for ages, just to see what Sega did right that Nintendon't since the massive failure that was Dracula X. Also, with the release of Metroid: Samus Returns on the 3DS, a bunch of videos and discussions started spawning comparing that game with the fan game that Nintendo shut down. I knew I just had to try one of these games. Since I don't have a 3ds that can record, the most obvious choice I went with was AM2R: Samus Returns. As for the main series, there will be two more games I will be featuring, a Metroidvania and a random Steam Game I'm just going to keep a secret for now. I am undecided which Metroidvania I want to play, they're going to be direct Castlevanias and they'll be one of the DS ones that I haven't really played to beat. I did play them last year, but only just to introduce myself to them and I haven't given any of them any serious time. I want everybody here to vote to which one they want me to play, so this topic will include a poll.
I would also like to mention that I've been featuring more gritty Survival RPG or Survival Horror content this year. But I decided to make these livestreams youtube exclusive which means they are just unedited livestreams I just play for fun. They are great for people who like to just throw on a livestream for hours and are not fan of my usual episodic formula. Survival RPG is a made up term for what I consider Fallout 4 and Dark Souls to be, I'm not playing Dark Souls right now because I played that towards the end of summer, but I am playing Fallout 4 on Survival Mode, the game does have a little fear value to it because of the high risk gameplay. Survival Horror games I'm playing this year are Alien: Isolation and now Dead Space 2 has taken priority because of my anger towards EA Games for shutting down Visceral Games. I've decided to play Dead Space 2 on Survivalist which kinda terrifies me because I only beat this game on Normal once, and that's with assistance from paid content (which I regret using now).
Livestreams and Episodes:
Livestreams are no longer scheduled on my channel, you'll just have to catch them as I announce them in the topic. I also do not announce youtube livestreams here in PureZC or my discord server because some of my fans find those livestreams a bit distasteful due to their gritty and violent nature (Check below for more details). If you want to watch me play games like Dead Space 2 and Alien: Isolation, I suggest you subscribe to my youtube channel. If you want to follow my main content on Twitch, I suggest you either join our discord server or follow me on twitch, or keep up to date on this topic for stream announcements.
All my Lets Plays for Halloween that are edited into Episodes will be featured on my youtube channel with a Halloween specific Pumpkin Border if you miss the livestream on Twitch. Just keep out for the Pumpkin Borders if you want to catch these epidoes on youtube. Livestreams will just go online and random on youtube and all these types of videos usually features a blue border. If you're subscribed, you're probably used to seeing this content by now.
I will be sharing my main episodes here in this topic after all the videos are finished, this might appear a week or so after Halloween, so it's better to keep up to date on my channels and discord servers.
[Note: Due to criticisms of sharing my livestreams to an audience that do not find the content in good taste or are not even slightly interested in, I'll probably only share links to the livestream playlists as an alternative afterthought because I believe most of my fans here on PureZC are not interested in watching gritty streams. I also would like to stress the fact that I don't say this to sound condescending, I was actually criticized by a PureZC member for sharing this type of content and was told that this isn't the type of content this community wants to see. So if you feel that I'm being condescending, I'm sorry to hear! If you do feel I'm being exclusive and if you feel that I may have handled the criticism poorly, just send me a quick message and we can discuss the subject. Maybe I'll give my livestreams priority again like I did before I received criticism for that type of content.]
Main Episodes & Livestreams:

November 2013 Mission Trip Report
On November 6th, I left for India with Nancy Chisholm, Kathy Cochrane from Bedford, and Pastor Chris Emery from Kingsley Baptist Church near Fredericton, NB. After a good night's sleep in Delhi, we flew on to West Bengal, meeting Shakti at the Bagdoga airport. We headed right away by road to the city of Jaigaon, where we would stay for the next 5 days. Since our first 3-day retreat was not starting for three days, we were able to get rested and enjoy visiting several churches and ministries.
We attended Sunday morning worship at the Lathabari Lutheran Church, where Chris preached and we enjoyed lunch with Pastor Sujen, and James Narjinary, from the leadership of the local Lutheran association. The next day we toured a large tea plantation and factory, also gaining insights into the living situation of workers, and the outreach work being done in that area. We also were able to go to the small village of Achapara, meeting with the children and church people. It was great to finally meet Rita and Anita, the two young ladies who started working in the villages of Achapara and Chuapara about 15 years ago when they were in their teens. After walking down a narrow dirt road, we arrived at the house that we had built for Sunita and her four children. It is now surrounded by gardens, Sunita has gotten married, and we were able to see just how happy she and the children are in their new home.
Tuesday to Thursday was spent attending the first retreat for pastors and women, held at HILT – the Himalayan Institute for Leadership Training – a new bible college in Jaigaon. Chris, along with nationals pastors including Bobby Mathews, taught a group of around 60 pastors. Kathy, Nancy and I led the women's meetings. Despite saying that we wanted to limit the number to around 70 in total we had over 200 ladies in attendance. I wasn't sure how that would work with our budget, but in the end, after the second retreat, we had enough money to pay all of the expenses! It was a blessed three days during which we also had a chance to have supper with Mathews family and visit their children at Grace Ashram.
The next two days were spent with Shakti, our Regional Coordinator, in Alipurduar. We attended a youth evening at the Alipurduar Baptist Church, where Shakti has started working with the local youth, and helping to revitalize the local congregation. We traveled to Mendabari and Shamuktula where I was able to meet with the rest of the parents and children who are part of the school sponsorship program. I had met the first group one evening in Jaigaon, and at each meeting was able to speak with them and learn more about the children's schools, favourite subjects, etc.. The thirteen fathers are all local pastors who truly appreciate this financial help. The funds cover tuition, uniforms and books for the entire school year. Those living in areas with choices are going to better schools often run by local ministries, and for those who only have access to government schools, the funds go to provide tutoring for the children. This tutoring will enable them to move on to high school and higher education someday, as the educational standards of the government schools are not always adequate.
Sunday morning was spent with the congregation of Jalpaiguri Baptist Church where Biblap is the pastor. It was wonderful to see the completed church, and to see it filled to overflowing. Several people made decisions to accept the Lord as their saviour at the end of the service as Chris and Shakti have an invitation! Shakti has been a real mentor to Biblap, helping him to grow and mature as a young pastor. We had lunch with Biblap and his family, and then traveled to Siliguri for the second retreat.
In Siliguri, we again enjoyed the joys of sharing with the women and pastors over the next three days. We had approximately 85, of which around 30 were pastors. At both retreats, we had very positive feedback from the nationals who attended. As on past trips, we all stayed at the Him Corce Bhavan. This arrangement made it possible to have the extra time to sit and talk with Shakti and some of the other leaders. Shakti has such a passion to see the local church mature and reach out to those around them in the name of Christ. I felt excited about all of the things that we can accomplish together in the future.
Before we knew it, it was time to head back to Canada, so we flew on to the city of Bombay (now Mumbai) for a day and a half of tourism. We enjoyed staying in the Colaba area of the city and were able to walk to several specials spots including the Gate of India, Marine Drive, and the Taj Mahal Hotel where we enjoyed a special last lunch together.
It was a blessed experience to spend this time in West Bengal and get a renewed vision for the work of Far Corners Ministry in Northeast India.
In Christ,
Ginny Manuel

|Marcus at an earlier MKC presentation
On October 19th, 2010, 7pm – 9pm (presentation will start promptly at 7:30pm) at the Pier 66 boathouse, Manhattan (three blocks north of Chelsea Piers, at the intersection of 26th Street and the Hudson River), Marcus Demuth will present a program about his recent record setting circumnavigation of Great Britain.
You can read about Marcus' kayak adventures, paddling tips and more at his website.
I have attended two other presentations Marcus has delivered and they were both entertaining and informative. One of those previous presentations was at this same venue, the Manhattan Kayak Company.
There is something to be said about hearing such a presentation in a Hudson River Boat House filled with Kayaks. And the folks at MKC have always been friendly and hospitable whenever I have been there.

Pacific Pile & Marine Completes Portage Cove Dredging
The Haines Borough in Alaska has just released latest update on the Portage Cove Harbor Expansion project.
According to the update, Pacific Pile & Marine has completed the harbor dredging and will begin installing the new breakwater.
Pile driving work will begin at the entrance of the harbor and move south. "There will be times when the harbor entrance will be closed off and vessel traffic will need to navigate south, around the large equipment barge, in order to enter the harbor," the update said.
Overall, the Portage Cove Harbor Expansion project will include harbor basin dredging works, steel pile supported wave barrier, moorage pile replacement and upland parking area works. The dredging portion of the project included removal of approx 130,000 cubic yards of marine sediment from 7 acres below the Mean High Water mark (MHW), to provide sufficient water depth at all tidal ranges.
The borough expects all work to be completed by May 31, 2018.

"A Pillow Of Water"
Judy Royal Glenn Photography
My husband and I headed to the mountains for me to photograph the fall colors. We went to two waterfalls before we headed to Tallulah Gorge State Park.
The park was packed. We asked what was going on and were told today was the first of several water release dates. Normally, there is 35-40 cubic feet per second flowing through the gorge. Today, there were 500 CFS! Kayakers have the dates saved on their calendars and come out to enjoy the great rapids.
My agenda quickly changed. How many times will I be able to photograph world class kayakers going over a class five rapid? I set up my tripod and watched as the kayakers hit the huge wall of water and totally disappeared.....kayak and all.
I love this photograph because it looks like the kayaker is hugging a pillow of water.

KAM commits to boost 'employability' of TVET GraduatesJuly 10, 2019
NAIROBI, Kenya, Jul 8 – Stakeholders in the manufacturing sector, businesses, development partners and technical training institutions have reaffirmed their commitment towards boosting employment opportunities for Kenyan youth in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).
Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) and GIZ's E4D/SOGA – Employment and Skills for Eastern Africa Programme, held an event earlier thai week to create awareness of available opportunities for the private sector, technical institutions and potential job applicants to bridge the skills gap experienced in industry.
Speaking at the event, the State Department of Vocational and Technical Training (TVET) Principal Secretary, Dr. Kevit Desai noted: "Skills development stimulates creation of sustainable development process and can make a contribution to transition from the informal to the formal economy. Further, skills are essential to address the opportunities and challenges to meet new demands of changing economies and new technologies in the context of globalization."
Also present at the event, KAM Chairman, Sachen Gudka said that adopting innovative and strategic policies that enhance partnership is key to address the skills and capacity gaps in industry.
"For Kenya to grow a resilient and sustainable manufacturing sector, supportive business and physical environment are important prerequisites, where continuous skills development of the labour workforce plays a critical role," said Gudka.
At present, the TVET system is primarily supply-oriented and the local workforce cannot match the required skills for the labour market.
"Kenya has invigorated efforts towards bridging these gaps through various initiatives such as the reforms in the TVET sector and implementation of Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET) curriculum in the desire to establish an intentionally competitive workforce. However, the need to be connected to broader growth, employment and development strategies is crucial," noted Gudka.
The Programme Director for Sustainable Economic Development and E4D/SOGA Kenya, Aregash Asfaw underpinned the importance of deliberate engagement of the private sector in the TVET space through the technical institutions to improve quality of training in technical trades.
"In order to sustain or even accelerate Kenya's economic growth, it is necessary to increase the number of, and improve the quality of training of crafts-people, technicians and engineers. Our partnership with KAM seeks to improve access to technical jobs and increase economic opportunities for the Kenyan youth," she noted.
The partnership between GIZ-E4D/SOGA and KAM has for the past two years focused on mobilizing industry to offer TVET graduates a three-month hands-on training as well as training graduates on work readiness including soft skills and proper work ethics, among others.
Under the programme, 800 graduates received the work readiness trainings and out of these, 344 graduate trainees were employed. Industry players have lauded this initiative as it provides an opportunity for them to select best performers from the apprenticeship as employees.
At the event, stakeholders also deliberated on the perks of Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET), which is supported by E4D/SOGA in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and technical training institutes. Here, after absorbing a three-month training in the institutions, learners are provided with a three-month practical skills and knowledge in the industry – to the standards of – and relevant to the industry and business.
Manufacturers were urged to directly participate in the CBET training program, currently being offered in six institutions in the country, by providing trainees with on-the-job training during the three months industrial attachment. This will ensure that technical institutions produce a progressive, resilient and globally competitive workforce that adapts to new and dynamic work practices and latest technologies for the 21st century.
The gathering was in agreement that; this, not only promotes access to jobs and economic opportunities for youth in Kenya while boosting the quality of skilled workforce, but also contributes in strengthening the role of the industry in TVET and to the Government's commitment to reinvigorate Kenya's manufacturing sector and job creation agenda – the Big 4 Agenda that seeks to increase the GDP share of the manufacturing sector currently at 8.4% to 15% as well as create 1.3 million jobs by 2022.

text: datastrain Posted July 11, 2015 i'm not a conspiracy guy - to me, this oligarchy is human nature - it's psychology and sociology 101. i don't believe for a minute the US government played an active roll in 9/11, or the Golf of Tonkin, or the sinking of the Lusitania - i just think the men in power acted in the best interests of the country at the time, and those interests have very little to do with the people of the country. if they were in line, we wouldn't send our boys out to die unless it was to specifically stop an imminent threat on our soil. and as long as our boys are being sent out to die... this is a good fight to fight. i like this documentary because of the way it depicts the wars we've fought this century, and how they all have common aspects: evil doers that want to murder us in our beds, the need to build up arms and raise taxes to fight them off, and NO real mention about how these wars have done nothing but benefit the 85 families that control 1/2 the worlds wealth (and never ever see the front lines). http://topdocumentar...erican-century/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought at the time she was killed, that she was the author of her own death : being elderly, I can't come to terms with women war reporters anyway, but hadn't she learned her lesson by already losing an eye ?
So,the Syrian army targeted her by intercepting her transmission frequency – it was a war zone !
During the first weeks of heavy fighting in Normandy, following 'D' day – Bletchley Park intercepted a message which enabled the RAF to take out the Divisional command headquarters of a very dangerous SS Panzer tank division – decapitating the command and control of the whole division along with it's senior officers.
P.S. during the 'Battle of Britain', Dowding ordered his pilots to shoot down White Junkers 52 air ambulances over the Channel, with prominent Red Crosses on them AND he ordered his pilots to machine-gun German pilots parachuting down over the channel.

Figure IT out with our FREE Environment Assessment
Recently, we touched on cloud computing trends, but since you subscribe to our blog, you already know that cloud services are on the rise and show no sign of slowing down.
Microsoft Azure shows no sign of slowing down either. Azure is a cloud-computing platform that allows users to rapidly build, deploy, and manage secure applications to scale, on-premise, in the cloud, or both. It is built on a broad stack of services that allow you to quickly provision resources, connect with existing on-premise Active Directory and domains, and create scalable, cross-platform applications. So, instead of needing expensive onsite infrastructure, you pay for access to computing resources provided by Microsoft Azure's massive hosting infrastructure. Anything that can run on a physical server (e.g., email, databases, file storage, Active Directory) can run on a virtual machine hosted by Azure.
The Benefits of Azure
Unlike having physical, onsite hardware, Azure allows you to quickly deploy infrastructure so you can scale efficiently and on a predictable budget. In addition to the benefits highlighted in 2018 Cloud Computing Trends, Azure is built on a consumption-based cost model, which means you pay for capacity by the second. You can increase or decrease compute capacity as needed, and you only pay for what you use.
Guaranteed connectivity is extremely important for businesses to remain efficient. Azure offers uptime guarantees for their services. For example, they offer 99.9% uptime for their virtual machines.
Compliance is also critical for many organizations. Azure has the most comprehensive compliance coverage with over 70 offerings, including HIPAA, ITAR, FedRAMP, ISO, and NIST and has contractually committed to GDPR compliance.
Is Azure Secure?
Microsoft uses their experience to implement and improve security-focused practices to ensure the protection of services and data. Here are some of the methods Microsoft uses to protect your data:
Click here to learn more about how Microsoft protects your data.
What About Amazon Web Services?
Although Amazon Web Services (AWS) holds the most significant market share in public cloud services, Microsoft Azure fundamentally serves a different market. Many enterprises have embedded much of their infrastructure in Microsoft operating systems, so it only makes sense to have Azure as their cloud platform to create a seamless cohesion with the rest of their environment.
However, many companies are not running their business solely on cloud services; they want a cloud service with some physical infrastructure they still manage. To accommodate this need, Microsoft has developed a true hybrid cloud offering, and is the only cloud provider to do so. With this flexibility, companies can use their on-premise resources when needed while seamlessly transitioning to the cloud to scale.
Additionally, Azure has more worldwide hosting regions than any other cloud provider. With 50 available regions, including 10 in North America, customers can house their data in a location that's right for them.
