- Overview
PISD dedicates newest elementary school
Princeton ISD dedicated its newest campus Sunday during a special ceremony honoring its namesake, Dorothy Lowe.
This marks four years since Smith Elementary opened in 2015 and the first year two campuses have opened in one year in Princeton.
Lowe Principal Jeff Coburn welcomed the crowd to the dedication.
"We are excited and honored to see you here for the dedication of this remarkable building named for a truly inspiring educator," Mr. Coburn said. "Today's celebration is a culmination of many events that began in 2017 when the citizens of Princeton approved a bond election that would turn what was once farmland into a state-of-the-art school building."
Mr. Coburn credited the architects at Claycomb Associates for designing a unique facility with an inviting environment that is student-centered. It was this student focus that led the long-range planning committee to name the school after Dorothy Lowe, who spent 36 years educating the children of Princeton in a career started in 1950.
"So many of her former students and co-workers shared great stories of the impact Mrs. Lowe had not only on their education, but also their lives," Mr. Coburn said. "She inspired her students to reach their full potential. Mrs. Lowe absolutely loved educating each and every student that walked through the door and provided them with the educational tools and life lessons they would need to be successful. These characteristics are something that we at Lowe Elementary look to instill in our students today and for decades to come."
The lineup of speakers for the ceremony featured former students who followed in her footsteps and became educators alongside Mrs. Lowe.
"I knew when I started teaching that I had to teach 5th grade, because I had Dorothy Lowe for a 5th-grade teacher, and she was my favorite teacher," said Dianne Schmidt, who described herself as a former student, co-worker and long-time friend of Mrs. Lowe. "She treated each of us as individuals. She was interested in not only us, but our families. She made us feel important and smart and like we could do anything."
Mrs. Schmidt recalled a story about her brother, Larry, who had special needs.
"My brother Larry was mentally challenged, and there were no special classes in 1956 when he was in 4th grade," she said. "But Larry had Mrs. Lowe, and I remember her saying, 'if I had Larry another year, I believe I could teach him to read.'
"So she had him another year and taught him to read," Mrs. Schmidt continued. "It was a special gift for our family, and especially my parents, because it opened up a different world for Larry."
Former student Glynda Davis also spoke about all the valuable lessons Mrs. Lowe passed along to her students.
"Mrs. Lowe didn't teach curriculum, she taught children," Mrs. Davis said. "Sure, we learned reading, writing, math, science and history, but it's the character lessons we learned from the example she set that I remember best."
According to Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Lowe taught her students to believe in themselves and to look for ways to help others.
"She understood that praise is powerful, and she never missed an opportunity to catch us doing something right," Mrs. Davis said. "Kindness and tact were two of her strongest traits. One day we were writing an essay in class, and a boy raised his hand and asked, 'Mrs. Lowe, how do you spell 'purt near't?' She didn't miss a beat, and said, 'Charles, why don't you just use 'almost.'"
Mrs. Davis credited Mrs. Lowe with inspiring and encouraging her to become a teacher, and even requested that her own three children be in Mrs. Lowe's class throughout the years, which is one of the strongest compliments you can make about a teacher.
"Thank you to the committee and the Princeton Board of Trustees who chose to name this beautiful elementary school for a woman who made teaching not only her career, but also her passion, and in so doing, made a difference in hundreds of lives who are indebted to her," Mrs. Davis said. "I've never met anyone more deserving of this honor than Mrs. Dorothy Lowe."

|This article is about a/an actor in Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan.
Asao Kobayashi (小林 朝夫 Kobayashi Asao) is a former actor and convicted sex offender who played Asao Hyou (VulPanther) in Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan.
On 28 December 1982, less than a year after Sun Vulcan ended, Kobayashi's co-star Shin Kishida (Daizaburou Arashiyama) died of esophageal cancer, aged 43. Asao Kobayashi was so overcome by the shock of Kishida's sudden death that he took a hiatus from acting and left show business permanently a few years later.
In June of 2013, Kobayashi was arrested for soliciting a high school girl from Aomori Prefecture and sexually assaulting her in an apartment on April 22th from 7:30 AM to 9:30 AM, afterwards, she reported the incident to the authorities.
Not too long afterward, it was revealed Kobayashi had apparently taken photos of the assault incident, constituting production of child pornography and the crime of pedophilia, causing him to be re-arrested. Toei had not been promoting Sun Vulcan as much at the time, and fans have speculated that Kobayashi's criminal actions have been a reason as to why.[1] [2]

Stewart calculus concepts and contexts 4th edition pdf
James Stewart calculus concepts and contexts 4th edition pdf now available to download and Each name is merely 1 element in a thorough calculus class application that closely integrates and coordinates print, media, and engineering products for effective learning and teaching. I'd love to be the very first person to say that this publication is especially the final 6 chapters of this novel, chapters 8-13. It covers the end of calculus two and all calculus 3. If you'd like a publication that covers all 3 classes, or merely calculus 1 and 2, you need to purchase the others. The Number of pages listed here are just like this because the publication goes up via 1045. This publication starts however at phase 8 like I stated. The calculus 2 and 1 novel is that: 0495559725. Along with also the Calc 1, 2 and 3 publication that's a lot more cash is 0495557420.

Please do not make the mistake and purchase the wrong book and attribute the vendor. When using this Stewart calculus concepts and contexts 4th edition, I only used it because of its illustrations and a mobile variant. This book contrary to other variations of calculus text books doesn't have a response guide which you may purchase, you have to arrange it via the business website that's a real pain. After doing Calculus 3, you wish to do a great deal of additional difficulties, also it will help to get ALL the answers neatly worked out to you. I'd really recommend that you wait till you get to know your instructor and see whether they use this publication hardcore in course, and assign issues straight from the text, otherwise, it is a waste of your cash, as there are lots of free calculus tools online

This past week, the first graders reviewed the instruments of the orchestra with a fun film called, "Tubby the Tuba." The story follows a tuba who is tired of playing the same thing in every song ("oom pa pa"), and who unfortunately has been getting bullied by the other instruments. Luckily for him, he has a good friend who helps him get on a path to success and happiness.
The second graders spent the week rehearsing for their Memorial Day Assembly. We also talked about the importance of the holiday, so they understand it's not just a "free day off from school." They sang beautifully and with pride. Thank you to the parents/families/friends who came to the assembly to support your students! Next week we will be celebrating their hard work with some extra time out on the playground :)
The third graders are almost ready for their recorder concert! Here's a copy of the notice which went home two weeks ago:
Dear Parents,
We would like to invite you and your family to the 3rd grade Recorder and Violin Concert on Tuesday, June 6th at 8:30 a.m. in the Cafetorium. Students are encouraged to wear colorful shirts with black bottoms. No logos, please!
We hope to see you there!
Mrs. Canzano, Mrs. Cline, Mrs. Rzasa, and The Third Grade Team
The fourth and fifth graders have been busy composing music to accompany a book. They are so excited to be performing them this coming week for kindergarten and first graders! Fourth grade students will be performing "This is Not My Hat" or "Knuffle Bunny," and fifth graders will perform "Where the Wild Things Are." They will be using music to help tell the story, just like how movies have a musical score playing in the background.
I also have some photos that I forgot to share in our last weekly review. Check them out!

Charing Cross is named after the now demolished Eleanor cross that stood there, in what was once the hamlet of Charing. It was where King Edward I placed a memorial to his wife, Eleanor of Castile.
It was one of twelve places where Eleanor's coffin rested overnight during the funeral procession from Lincolnshire to her final resting-place at Westminster. At each of these, Edward erected an Eleanor cross, of which only three now remain.
The original site of the cross has been occupied since 1675 by an equestrian statue of King Charles I. A Victorian replacement, in different style from the original, was later erected a short distance to the east outside t...

Taylor Swift Says She Plans to Re-Record Her Back Catalog to Regain Control of Her Masters
Back in June, Swift referred to Scooter Braun's acquisition of her master rights as her "worst case scenario"
Taylor Swift has revealed plans to re-record her first six albums following a deal that left the master rights to her catalog in the hands of Scooter Braun, as The Hollywood Reporter notes. According to THR, during an interview on "CBS Sunday Morning," Tracy Smith asks Swift if she will re-record her music in response to the deal. "Oh yeah," Swift reportedly answers. When Smith follows up to ask whether it's a plan, Swift responds, "Absolutely."
After Swift's former label Big Machine sold the master rights of her catalog (2006's Taylor Swift through 2017's Reputation) to Braun's Ithaca Holdings LLC, she penned an impassioned response calling the deal her "worst case scenario." "I learned about Scooter Braun's purchase of my masters as it was announced to the world," she wrote. "All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I've received at his hands for years." Big Machine CEO Scott Borchetta disputed several of Swift's claims.
Lover, Swift's first album for her new label Republic, is out this Friday, August 23.

If you have young kids, and need a place for them to exercise and get rid of winter blahs in Amish Country, try the Concord Mall Bounce House.
I was amazed at how much there is for my little one to do there. There's a huge slide, a play area for kids 5 and under, an obstacle course, and a couple of sports themed bounces. Mina was thrilled! She played for two hours the first time she visited and loved going down the giant slide and figuring out how to get over the huge wall in the obstacle course. She actually played with a ball and baseball bat for the first time. The fact that air keeps the ball up may have been the driving factor, but she loved it all the same.
Like most kids, Mina loves running and bouncing. And I love taking her to places that foster her independence and let her burn up lots of energy!
So, bring a friend, or your e-reader, and enjoy the fact that your child is having a great time getting exercise and will go to sleep soundly at night.
The other good thing about Concord Mall Bounce House is its convenience to the food court. Ben's Pretzels is ideal for a yummy snack, and Adam's Bistro is great for a tasty, healthy lunch.

How to Improve Your Fuel Economy
How to Improve Your Fuel Economy
Fluctuating gas prices makes owning a car costlier over time. While modern cars are fuel efficient, you as the driver can play an important role in improving your fuel economy. Here are some things you can do to maximize your gas mileage.
Use Right Type of Fuel
Gasoline has different octane ratings, with premium fuel having the highest rating. Check your car owner's manual to find the recommended type of fuel for your car (most likely it will have a low octane rating). Using premium fuel in a regular car does not boost the performance of your engine, nor does it improve fuel economy. In fact, it reduces fuel economy. High-octane fuel burns hotter and is made specifically for high-compression engines like those found in sports and luxury cars. Using premium gas in a regular car engine will lead to incomplete burning of fuel. Stick to your car manufacturer's recommended fuel type.
Coast to Stop Instead of Riding the Brakes
Coasting allows your vehicle to move ahead without the engine pushing it. Try coasting when you see the light turning yellow. Instead of braking suddenly, try taking your foot off the accelerator and letting the vehicle slow down on its own. Follow this tip when you're approaching stop signs, railway crossings, or a curve in the road. Use coasting intelligently to improve fuel economy.
Remove Rooftop Accessories
A roof luggage carrier is a great way to haul extra cargo, but it affects the aerodynamic characteristics of the car. The result is increased wind resistance, making the engine work harder and use more fuel. When you aren't carrying cargo, remove rooftop accessories to improve your fuel economy.
Remove Unnecessary Items from Your Car
People have a habit of keeping unneeded things in their car and forgetting about them. This can add extra weight to your car and cause your engine to burn more fuel. Clean out your car to reduce its overall weight and boost your gas mileage.
Be Wise When Upgrading Your Wheels
Upgraded wheels might make your car look better, but they can affect your fuel economy. To ensure this does not happen, be smart about buying new wheels. For example, installing bigger rims will require wider tires than the OEM wheels. Wide tires increase rolling resistance which causes the engine to work harder. Also, bigger or heavier wheels will increase your vehicle's overall weight. Higher rolling resistance and an increase in weight both lead to higher fuel consumption. Avoid big, heavy wheels, and opt for something lightweight instead.
Improving your fuel economy is easy and not only leads to savings, but it is also good for the environment. Follow the tips above and both your wallet and the world around you will benefit.

A Guide to Being Tricky or Treaty
This goes against the code at howtobeadad.com: never provide useful or important information, least of all instructions on how to do something. Correctly. So I've added in how to do be a total box of chocolate-covered douche-peanuts as well, to even things out. Also, I figure since this isn't exactly a major parenting or world issue (yes it is, shhhhh), I'm safe from the assassins we hired to put us out of our misery should we ever become authoritative blowhards. Fingers crossed and braided into a friendship bracelet!
I'm going to tell you here the good and the evil side of how to trick-or-treat, so you fellow parents can properly or improperly teach your children. Let us begin at the beginning.
The Neighborhood (Good)
If you've got a crappy neighborhood for trick-or-treating ("crappy" being defined here as mostly darkened porches or ones that are separated by marathon distances), there's no shame in migrating to greener, more candy-laden pastures. Otherwise, spiral out from your home and say hey to people who write the same street name as you on their envelopes.
The Neighborhood (Evil)
Shunning your own decent area for the riches of a destination neighborhood is a little bit of a punk-ass move. Think of the candy in your neck of the woods without a child's bag to call its home, all because of some frothing at the mouth about a house somewhere else that lobbed whole candy bars at children from mortars last year.
Approaching a House (Good)
The shortest distance between two points is easily determined by any costumed child and an illuminated doorway on Halloween. Unfortunately, this path also results in a national average of $81.4 million in sprinkler head and garden plant damage. Use sidewalks, paths and driveways. If it's hard underfoot, you're good.
Approaching a House (Evil)
If it's soft underfoot, you're a punk and my gardener's newest best friend. Since you're into being evil though, just make sure to stomp on any flowers or shrubbery that may or may not have gotten in your way. And if a mythological unicorn happens to materialize in front of you, you can use the shards of any broken lawn decorations to kill it and drink it's blood, you bastard.
Don't forget to scare a few years off the lives of any nearby trick-or-treaters. Life is short, on Halloween it's pretty much your job as Jerkzilla to shorten it with bullying terror. Scrub their heads with Nair, kids love a good head tussling.*
* this actually happened to my wife when she first came to America from England as a kid. Happy Baldoween, eh, gov?
The Greeting (Good)
Waiting your turn, look up at the candy distributors and clearly say "Trick or treat!" in a festive, upbeat tone; or say it "in character" for the costume you're wearing. Offer your bag or bucket closely enough that they don't have to FedEx your goodies to you. Smile! Even if you're a horribly disfigured zombie Pokémon.
The Greeting (Evil)
Shove past anyone in the way, skip saying anything and thrust your bag out without looking up from your portable gaming system, smartphone or your general aura of rudeness. Do not make eye contact! If the candy isn't given instantly, roll your eyes, or (if your costume covers your eyes) let your flailing shoulders say "Come ON!" in an aggravated shrug. Feel free to grunt. You're an evil trick-or-treater, remember, so whines and grunting are for you like song to a bird.
Mega extra evil credit if you're not even wearing a costume. Or just used a marker to write something you saw online that's clever and ironic on an old t-shirt. Hey, lemmings are cute, right? Watch that first step, though, it's a doozy.
Receiving Treats (Good)
Say "Thank you!" or "Happy Halloween!" Refrain from displaying any looks of disapproval at what you were given, or even checking to see what was just plunked into your haul; just smile and look thankful. If it happened to be a candy you dislike, you'll probably be able to trade it (covered later), and if it was something lame like an eraser or a dime, you're better off not knowing right then. For especially bad offerings, such as fruit, it is advisable to remove the weight from your bag, but do so out of sight and in a trash can, or provide some botanical philanthropy by placing it in nearby foliage. Rotting fruit can provide a pleasant fragrance and is a natural fertilizer.
Receiving Treats (Evil)
Still going with the evil angle here, if you're tame enough a demon to allow them to toss treats in your bag without grabbing unsanctioned fistfuls of whatever you damned well please, inspect what you were given scornfully and then look disgustedly (even if you're satisfied) at the pathetic offering. Share Hell with them, tonight is your night.
Leaving the Property (Good)
For high-traffic houses, think lanes. There should be a natural flow going up to front door and away. If not, try to establish one by following the child ahead of you. Everyone wins. And trips and collisions happen a heck of lot less.
Leaving the Property (Evil)
Bolt. You're in a cosplay mosh pit of underaged chaos and the stage is the next house. Rush it! Your costumed shoes were meant for trampling, and that's just what they'll do. If you've got a blunt object, destroy the house's pumpkins in the pandemonium or drop a weapons-grade firecracker in one for even greater effect. You're as devoid of morals as you are of feeling, so make it memorable for the people that do have them.
The Ideal Route (Good)
You can do a zig zag up and down each street, following a grid. Be careful at crossings blah blah blah. Be safe. But also remember the halfway rule of hiking. Measure the distance you travel by half what you're willing to go. You're going to need to turn around and head back, and your feet and bladder and appetite for all the treasure you're carrying are going to have a lot to say about the length of your Cand-odysse-y.
The Ideal Route (Evil)
Don't just work both sides of the street, work all of the streets! Hit houses with good candy over and over and over. Trade masks with fellow a-holes and con those houses until their bowls are filled with the same emptiness that your own cold soul possesses. Once you're done sucking a neighborhood dry, you can always piss and moan enough for your parent to bring the car around to rescue your entitled ass and taxi it home for you. Fake an injury if needed.
While you're on your way though, don't forget that mugging isn't age-specific and just double your plunder, double your pleasure, by ripping a bag out of the hands of a sadly overly-redundant trick-or-treater who stayed out parental eyeshot. You'll be the biggest winner at being a loser, but you'll have more sugar nummies, you *****y ****.
Sorting and Trading (Good)
If you cleaned up, try not to be smug or compare hauls. Be graceful about your plunder, even generous. You can offer prizes you don't even care for and look like a rockstar. And, when trading, be honest about valuation. Don't pretend to not love Milk Duds when you've had shuddering dreams about them. Fairness, always.
Also, kids should not underestimate the value that adults place on candy; either from desire to gobble some of it up or on a fussier, health-conscious basis, to keep you from eating it. Try to be magnanimous. Even if you have to Google what that word means.
Sorting and Trading (Bad)
This is poker now for you evil turds. Sweet Tarts might make your skin crawl, but you're going to make your fellow trick-or-treaters crawl for them. Fake, feign, cheat, whatever it takes to improve your candy portfolio. The is HalloWall Street and you're playing the market! Sell high, buy low. Short 'em. Do some insider trading. You're dead inside, so it doesn't really matter. Candy matters.
Don't forget to TP the "nutritious" houses after hours and soap up their cars like a good little demon. Almost forgot! Ringing the doorbell for the surprise delivery flaming bags of feces are always a nice return-treat in the dead of night, too, for you up and coming inmates.
There you go. That's it. I could've written a book (that no one would have bought or read). But I'm lazy so yay, right? I'm sure there will be hordes of people who pony up to tell me what I've missed and left out. Really? Just comment your additions. Don't tell me what I "missed." You know you wouldn't have read this if it was "comprehensive," or a book.
In closing, teach your kids how to trick-or-treat however you will. But realize that just because your kid might be dressed as something evil, he or she can still be good about it. Also, folks, bear in mind that candy just doesn't taste as good when it's coated with greed and the taint of douchebaggery. Decently earned candy isn't spoiled with the commonality of sweets you could get at a car dealership reception desk. On the flip side, there're few things sweeter than properly procured trick-or-treatsies.
Happy Halloweening!

Five Exciting Medical Reasons to Smoke Weed Every Day
The discovery of pot's astonishing medical potential is the most compelling new reason for legalizing the plant.
Highlights from article:
1. THC and other plant cannabinoids are not only effective for the management of cancer symptoms (pain, nausea, loss of appetite, fatigue, etc.); they also confer a direct anti-tumoral effect, according to peer-reviewed studies by scientists at the California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco and Complutense University in Madrid, Spain.
2. Investigators at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, found that THC inhibits an enzyme involved in the accumulation of beta amyloid plaque that disrupts communication between brain cells, the hallmark of Alzheimer's-related dementia.
3. According to researchers at Kings College in London, cannabinoid receptor signaling choreographs neurogenesis (the creation of new brain cells) in adult mammals and also regulates the migration and differentiation of stem cells.
4. Chinese scientists have shown that the painkilling effects of acupuncture are mediated by the same cannabinoid receptors that are activated by THC.
5. Pharmaceutical companies are exploring ways to induce therapeutic outcomes by manipulating levels of the body's own cannabinoids. Animal studies indicate that it's possible to attenuate a wide range of pathological conditions (including hypertension, colitis, neuropathic pain and opiate withdrawal) by preventing or delaying the enzymatic breakdown of endogenous cannabinoids.
Hear that? Big pharma need money. Big pharma sorry for lobbying against marijuana. Big pharma want money. Ass for eternity! Ass nova!
I grew up knowing I was being lied to about a whole bunch of different things. Stupid people are easy to control when you can find what makes them happy, so LIES. From an early age, we are encouraged to accept ridiculous and absurd notions, like Santa Claus, trickle-down economics and the hale and hearty hatred of people we don't understand. Growing up is about being critical of the things you think you know. So, when I heard about all the smart people I knew were smoking marijuana despite the frightening propaganda in the media, I felt like I should lend a critical perspective on it myself.
Lo and behold, I found that the U.S. government has patents on medical marijuana. I found that Santa wasn't real, and Wall Street is a farce, where money appears out of thin air…because EXPLANATIONS. And when it tears apart communities, that means those sweet and cozy explanations are either absolutely wrong, or bullshit. The difference is in knowing the truth from the falsehoods. The problem is our industrialized society has removed from people's lives the need to be courageously critical of their environment. Society says, "Relax. Let us make these tough decisions for you. Shut up and keep working. Report abnormal behavior. Report people who don't share the same opinion you've been forced to accept about the government, about your spirit on this incredible plane of existence. Accept that your role in life is to consume and die for as much profit as possible, and crap on anyone in your way. Greed, ignorance and despair.
Enter the CANNABIS of truth. It is strong, contains fuel, medicine, potential use for numerous rich sociopaths quietly, quickly maneuvering themselves to snatch up the profits on the horizon.
I've been marching and bitching about the verifiable truth of the value of marijuana for twenty years. Whenever I ran into someone laying down the same old tired bullshit line, I invited them to prove it. Creationism? Fucking prove it. Smoking a joint is dangerous. Fucking prove it. The medicine that you take is safe and effective? Fucking prove it. American exclusionism isn't about us being special, it's about being delusional. The flipside to the American Dream is the American Flim-Flam. It's horseshit. It's bad science. It's burying good research for profits.
We're not up against scientists, we're up against politician shills and douchebags who use their positions to exploit the ignorance of the population. They get away with it by threatening people with violence and incarceration. Anti-curious, anti-scientific. That's the average American. The tyranny of the Drug War must end. Hey America, grow a pair, and grow up. Use your mind. Shove all kind of ideas into it and see what really makes sense. And the next time someone offers you a threat and a softcore explanation for taking away the ability to control your own life, rip out their eyes and throw them at traffic. Leave them screaming blind in the funhouse. Make them search for their own way out, and by climbing through a hole in your head.
The only way to endure this shitstorm of raw lies pummeling me like an LRAD at a public demonstration is to be critical of information and how it is obtained.

When Bethany Wu returned to classes at Diamond Bar High School last Monday, the junior could not show off a blue first-place medallion hanging from her letterman's jacket.
The golfer could not even carry the San Clemente tournament trophy into a classroom without a lot of help. It is a giant sandal and Wu was able to lug the gigantic trophy home after shooting a 4-under-par 69 and winning the tournament at San Clemente Municipal Golf Course by two strokes.
"If Bethany wants to win, then she's going to win," Diamond Bar coach Tony McCabe said.
Wu took second to Torrey Pines' Minjia Luo last year and McCabe said that when she saw the winning prize last year, she was bound and determine to have it displayed on her trophy case this year.
The Brahmas, who finished second in the state to Torrey Pines last year, finished third as a team behind Torrey Pines, which shot a 375, and Sherman Oak's Notre Dame, which shot a 388. Diamond Bar shot a 389.
"This was a little measure before we meet in the state semis, if we get there," McCabe said. "It is always a challenge and never easy. These teams are good."
The Brahmas and the Hacienda League have been moved into the CIF-Southern Section Northern Division, which means they will likely face Notre Dame again on Oct. 31 in the division finals.
Diamond Bar has more than Torrey Pines and Notre Dame to worry about. The Brahmas have already faced Walnut in league play and they split their matches, the Brahmas winning by one stroke and the Mustangs getting the split last week at Royal Vista with Walnut junior Patricia Wong shooting a 32 for nine holes for the Mustangs' three-shot win.
"They really put it to us," McCabe said.
The Brahmas were without Josephine Chang, who was sick. McCabe said it would not have made a difference. On Tuesday, Chang, a sophomore, shot a 33 in a league win over Rowland at Diamond Bar, only one stroke off the school record. She nearly had a hole-in-one when her shot hit the pin and landed a foot away.
Diamond Bar and Walnut will only meet again in tournaments, although they will face off in individual events. Presuming each wins out, they will again tie for the league title.

Last Friday I boarded a plane with destination Bucharest, alone.
My boyfriend had some school stuff to finish before he could join me in Bucharest.
It wasn't the first time I flew alone, in fact I have done it many times before!
Normally I really love it. You don't have to talk to anyone and can really just be in your own little bubble binge watching your favourite show.
This time however it was a different story...
I think it is because I'm getting older, but I'm starting to dislike some aspects of flying more than I used to.
The long lines, the small seats and the grumpy fellow passengers make flying economy not so super fun any more!
Last year we flew to the Dominican Republic in Premium class with Tui. This was the best available flying class on that flight. It makes your travels a wee bit more comfy. I know that this makes me sound like a spoiled brat.. but might I add that seats on planes are not really made for my not-so-lying-hips and long legs.
However, we were invited to go to my niece's wedding. My dad is from Egypt and her dad is his brother who married an Romanian woman. I hadn't seen any of my relatives for 18 years due to family circumstances.
But off to Bucharest I went...
My uncle and dad picked me up from the airport and later that night we went back to pick up my boyfriend.
On the way back we stopped at the parliament. This building is unbelievably big!
The front as you see it in this picture is also how all 3 other sides of the building look like.
The building has about 1300 !! rooms. Ha, try to keep that clean.
On the wedding day, the day started with a lot of Romanian traditions.
But look how pretty my niece looked in her dress!
On the right is my dad.
After the church we went to a venue, which supposedly is very hard to get. Normally only celebrities can rent it out. But because my niece married a former professional soccer player of Romania and Belgium they had some connections.
The venue has a swimming pool and a helipad and can hold about 1.000 people.
Talk about fancy.
We were seated at a table with 8 others. During the night (the party lasted until about 5 AM) we were served a 4 course menu by our table waitress. And of course plenty of drinks from the open bar.
At every seat there was a little treasure chest with a lottery ticket inside. Super cute! Unfortunately we didn't win anything.
Sunday evening we went to the summer home of my niece with the whole family according Romanian traditions to eat a lot of meat.
The next day I flew back home.
Next weekend we will go to Rheinbach, Germany to finish my diving course in a big indoor pool.
Next month we will go to Maastricht with my parents and sister to celebrate the new year. And then of course in February we will go to Hawaii! Lots of good things planned.
Talk to you later,

Himalayan rock salt originates from northern Pakistan from the area called the "salt range" not far from the Himalayan mountains. It is a natural rock salt that was created when the prehistoric seas evaporated some 250 million years ago. This was long before the subcontinent Indian plate moved north and crashed into Asia creating the Himalayan mountain range. The actual salt rocks vary in colour from pure white to beautiful light pink to dramatic deep red, all depending on

After Wind, Cold is the second most common of what are called the 'external' causes of disease - at least in 'Northern' Climates.
It is called an 'external pathogenic factor'. That means that it is said to invade from the outside, and that the body tries to keep it at a distance from the essential Energy Organs of the body, the 'zang-fu'.
It does this by putting or keeping the symptoms in the acupuncture channels - usually the limbs and joints - away from the vital organs in the torso.
Cold can, however, penetrate those vital inner organs when the body's defence system is damaged, perhaps by accident, ill-advised treatment, medication or ignorance: OR when your body is too weak to 'contain' the pathogenic factor in a 'safe' place - ie on the outside, or as far from the centre as possible.
If the body cannot defend itself, Cold may attack the surface areas of the body, its muscles and sinews, commonly the shoulders and neck.
It can also invade, depending where there is weakness, directly into some of the body's organ energies: for example, the Stomach (causing stomach pain and vomiting); the womb, (causing acutely painful periods); or the Intestines (diarrhoea and abdominal pain).
Of course, once it's reached inside like this, it has become Internal Cold, about which read more below.
If you think about what it is like to get suddenly intensely cold, you'll recognize some of the symptoms in the list.
Often you don't want to move much - except to shiver - and you like or crave warmth.
Mentally, it often makes you fearful and tense.
If you also have Qi stagnation, the Cold and Qi stagnation will reinforce one another.
Depending on other factors you could also have sneezing or shivering, for instance if Wind invades at the same time.
People with strong constitutions can become intensely restless and terrified that they are about to die.
Both Wind and Cold can invade quickly where your defensive-qi (this is roughly the equivalent of your immune system from the Western medical perspective) cannot prevent it.
Their penetration into the body can be stopped if caught early on.
Do not overlook it as a cause of disease: it can arrive unexpectedly, such as
If appropriate action is taken immediately, such as covering up, or wrapping up well or taking a hot bath, the body may expel or overcome it.
If it lingers, however, it can lead to a long-term invasion and increasing bouts of severe pain for many years, culminating in the diagnosis perhaps of arthritis and the prescription of anti-inflammatory medications, steroids and painkillers.
By then, it will have become internal cold.
It might even turn to Heat! ...
By then the body may have even changed it into 'Heat' symptoms, (masking the original cause) in a desperate attempt to contain or combat it. You might recognize this in the 'burning' skin around an arthritic joint.
With the correct treatment, if that Heat can be expelled, it is possible that the patient will then experience a period of coldness again, at which time treatment appropriate would be needed, the opposite of the treatment for symptoms of Heat.
Read about the other external causes of disease:
Internal cold has two forms, Full and Empty. Full cold occurs when a strong invading force, the External Cold, meets a strong immune system. Symptoms are intense but short-lived.
The reason Full Cold is short-lived is that it is exhausting but, if your body can repel it, it does.
If not, it becomes Empty Cold, meaning that your body's energies were insufficient to repel it, so it lingers.
How it lingers depends on various factors. In energetic young people, they might find they just wear more clothes than their friends, they always have cold hands and/or feet, they like a scarf to keep their necks warm, and their noses easily run in cold air or wind.
You may dismiss these symptoms as being unimportant. In themselves they are, but they are signs that your body has never quite got itself better, and must now live in a lower energy-state.
From now on, you may find that you can't risk exposing your limbs for too long out of bed on a warm night in case they cramp.
Women with Empty Cold may find that their periods are painful, with stabbing pains often in one particular place, with cramps and bleeding that contains clots.
Where Empty Cold remains, there is often lumbar pain, worse in or when cold, of course.
In fact, Empty Cold reduces the Yang energy of one or more of your Zangfu Energy Organs, making you more susceptible to health problems 'governed' by them.
For instance, if your Lung Yang energy is deficient because of Empty Cold, you will catch more colds than others, and those colds will tend to go to your chest.
If your Spleen Yang is weak, then you will tend to get runny stools and often get mild pain in your abdomen. You may also have a tendency to catarrh or sinus problems.
Underlying both of these will be a weakness in your Kidney Yang Qi.
Your body tries to keep Cold out. The strength of your symptoms is a sign of the strength of your constitutional defence force - your immunity we might say from the Western perspective.
Cold contracts, slows and tightens. If your body can turn it into a fever and burn it out, you may emerge stronger than before.
Often, however, people prevent the body from acting to push the Cold out - often by taking medicines that prevent or reduce acute fever, or by refusing to rest when the body is throwing everything into the battle.
If Cold lingers on, then eventually your pulse will become slower and weaker, you'll be more susceptible to cold environments and you'll produce signs of Cold that worsen over the years.
What if you already have internal cold and find yourself subject to another attack of external cold?
Supposing your body reacts to it eventually with a process culminating in fever, or what seems like heat, be grateful! Don't suppress it with medications or painkillers or you'll just push it further in.
As you recover, don't overstrain yourself by rushing back to full exercise and work regimes. Why? Because you'll use up your yang energy before it has reasserted itself and recovered its strength.
Of course, especially, don't get cold!
As internal cold lingers on it has a knock-on effect on other parts of your life, including your personality. You may become more fearful, or timid, less certain of yourself, and more prone to anxiety. That makes you more susceptible to Qi stagnation.
So one thing leads to another. Better catch it early if you can!
If you can't shift it, you need treatment. People trained in Chinese medicine theory know how to help. But one treatment or course of herbs won't be enough - be warned!
Cold isn't all bad. Why do so many people take a cold bath in the morning, or a cold shower after a hot shower? Or what about those who roll about in snow after a sauna?
I remember reading research - conducted I think in Sweden - in which they measured the immune system of thousands of people who regularly took cold baths against the immune systems of those who didn't. Those who took cold baths had better immune systems.
However, when you're ill - when cold has already invaded, as described above - don't take a cold bath or shower, let alone roll in the snow! That's not the appropriate treatment protocol!
When you're ill, different rules apply to when you're well.
Did you know?
There's a right and a wrong way to take a cold shower! It's not difficult when you know how, and it's very invigorating. Your body will like it, even if when you start doing it, your mind rebels!
Read about the right way to take a cold shower!

Udemy – WordPress For Beginners – Learn By Building 4 Websites [100% off] Worth $97!
Posted on 19/02/2016 by admin | 0 comments
Course Description
This course is a beginners wordpress course. I believe that the best way for beginners to learn anything is by doing. Therefore, in this course we're going to build multiple websites. We are going to focus on building with at least three free wordpress themes, and one paid one on the courses initial for websites. I do intend to add at least one or maybe even two additional website tutorials for students that will both help to keep the course up to date, but also will add extra value for the students as well. I will be open to student suggestions on which type of wordpress site to build for the extra site(s).
This course is structured to take students from knowing absolutely nothing to being completely comfortable working within the wordpress dashboard. Students will start with registering a hosting account and domain name with my optional affiliate code. This code will give students the ability to dive in at a reduced price and try it out to see if it's something they're interested in. The cost of the domain name and one cent (for the first month) hosting package is about $12 total in addition to the cost of the course itself. I believe it's an easy decision to make when websites often sell for at least $500+ to people who have no idea how to make changes when they need to. This course gives you the power to be able to make changes to any wordpress theme you use confidently.
Additionally the optional paid theme within the course does cost money as well. That price fluctuates anywhere from $60-90 for the theme cost. I mainly use this website to show the differences between free and paid themes. Additionally, you can find out what works best for your budget, and fully grasp how wordpress really works without needing to purchase the premium paid theme!
The course completion time depends largely upon the student. I believe that it's best to go through the first website entirely, and then decide which website to move on to next. Again, it is largely up to the student and what they want to get out of this course.
I strongly suggest you take this course because there are simply no other courses out there like it. We go step by step while making multiple websites come to life. It has over 75 lectures and over 7 hours of content in the course! I also offer free previews of the websites that we'll make within the course and have lessons involving plugin setup that students simply will not find in other courses.

Fall Report: Oklahoma StateFall Report
NASHVILLE — Across all levels of baseball, and especially in the major leagues, the game has trended toward home runs and strikeouts in recent years. Most professional organizations are willing to accept higher strikeout totals from their hitters in exchange for higher home run rates. That trend has been less pronounced in the college ranks, but nonetheless it's clear the game is headed in that direction.
Oklahoma State was the poster team for the new pro style of play in 2018, hitting 71 home runs but striking out 560 times in 58 games. The Cowboys return a core of big, physical power hitters this year in Colin Simpson, Trevor Boone, Christian Funk and Carson McCusker, all of whom struck out 50 or more times last year — but they also combined to hit 43 long balls.
"We were in a little bit of a back-and-forth trade-off with strikeouts and power, we were pretty reliant on the homer," Cowboys coach Josh Holliday said. "I don't love that style of play, but I do feel like we have some bigger, stronger guys that, as they continue to work to their best swing, there's gonna be some strikeouts. The key's gonna be to put balls in play to move runners and get runners home, and if you do strike out, at least have a plan where you're not leaving the strike zone and giving the other team an easy chase. So we definitely can get better at that."
Oklahoma State hitters struck out 19 times without mustering a hit in the first 10 innings of play during this past weekend's two-day, 28-inning exhibition series at Vanderbilt. Certainly some of that is a testament to the quality of opposing arms they saw, and credit OSU for putting together more competitive at-bats in the second half of Saturday's action. But clearly there is work to be done.

Through drama, pupils are given the opportunity and encouragement to develop and demonstrate their creative talents. As with all arts, drama involves imagination and feeling, and helps children make sense of the world, by the creating imagined characters and situations, and the relationships and events that they encounter. The National Curriculum for English reflects the importance of spoken language in pupils' development across the whole curriculum – cognitively, socially and linguistically. Spoken language underpins the development of reading and writing, and drama is uniquely positioned to explicitly address these concepts.
Drama is taught progressively as a discrete subject once a week, across the key stages, by specialist drama teachers, each year building upon previous learning. The lessons are closely linked to the topic being studied by the children, whilst also equipping them with a deep understanding of drama as an exploratory and performance medium. As the children progress, their increasing knowledge and understanding of how the elements of drama work, enables them to effectively shape performances, making use of language, space, symbolism and metaphor. Additionally, evaluation of performance work plays an important part in the drama curriculum, as children learn to develop their analytical skills, considering how drama techniques and strategies have been applied to convey meaning, whilst fostering an expectation of high-quality spoken English.
Across the curriculum, pupils are encouraged to take part in a range of drama activities, including exploration of the class book in English to support the development of reading and writing, re-enactment of historical events and theatre visits to develop cultural appreciation. The use of drama as an informative tool has also been highly successful during a variety of special events, such as Internet Safety Day. The school regularly hosts visiting theatre companies, such as Big Foot, as part of our aim to ensure all children have access to high-quality performance.
The school celebrates pupils' drama work in two performances each year: Christmas Nativities and class assemblies. In addition, Year 6 pupils will participate in a Leavers' Production showcasing their performance skills to friends and family. All pupils are actively involved in these performances and take on their own acting role, as well as supporting in set designing and prop making. Children who show a particular interest in drama, are also able to join either the drama club or film acting club.

Pakistan is going green. Forest green.
As reported by NBC News, Pakistan plans to plant 10 billion trees over the next five years as part of its effort to combat climate change. That's approximately 50 trees for every person that lives in the Middle Eastern country.
According to NBC News, Pakistan is one of the top 10 countries most vulnerable to climate change and the environmental challenges that Pakistan faces have already caused the country billions of dollars. Increased temperatures, flooding, and droughts number among them.
Deforestation contributes to the challenges the country faces: in 2016, only 2 percent of Pakistan's land was covered by forest, according to The Washington Post.
"It is now imperative to tackle climate change and reverse environmental degradation as Pakistan's situation will only worsen as the economy grows," Pakistani politician Imran Khan said wrote in his party's manifesto.
The Billion Tree Tsunami Program is an extension of Khan's previous initiatives in which his party planted 865,000 acres of trees between 2014 and 2017.
In an interview with NBC, Ali Tauqeer Sheikh, founder and CEO of LEAD Pakistan argued that it is highly important to focus on the health of the environment despite the challenges that Pakistan faces.
"We have been consumed for so long by so many other challenges such as the war on terror that has engulfed our cities, suicide bombings, public health, that kind of thing," Sheikh told NBC. "But it is extremely important also that we ensure we have enough fresh water and that our development does not destroy our own coastline. We have one of the largest deltas in the world, but it is dying because of climate change."

In 2015, domestic comic book sales in the United States topped $940 million. Lest you think all of this cash is generated from men's bank accounts, market research has shown that 47% of comic fans are women. With more comic material devoted and targeted directly to women – Marvel's current Thor female being a case in point – some see this as likely to increase even more. That said, the divergence from classic brands within Marvel and DC – all for sake of 'diversity' – have not been well received. With few exceptions, both male and female fans prefer the traditional, and yes, more 'complementarian', superhero storylines.
With easy to follow story lines, natural scripting, and graphic illustrations of characters and scenes, it stands to reason that comic superheroes are a favourite with movie script-writers, producers, directors, actors and fans. Some graphic novels that are not strictly speaking a part of any superhero universe, such as Frank Miller and Dark Horse Comic's 300, have successfully been portrayed in a unique, almost frame-by-frame, way on film. While not done in quite the same way with live-action superhero films, it is not uncommon to recognise certain scenes as directly inspired by a particular comic. Box Office Mojo has listed over 120 superhero movies made since 1978, with combined earnings of over $17 billion – and things aren't slowing down.
Comic book giants DC and Marvel will continue to go head-to-head in what I call the 'Super-stakes' with what is anticipated to be over twenty films set in their respective superhero universes over the next four years. If the significance of this is still not appreciated, consider the presence of The Avengers, The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War and the un-inspiringly named Iron-Man 3 in the worldwide all time highest grossing movie top fifteen. There are over twenty such movies in the United States all time highest grossing domestic top 100 (and almost that in the worldwide top 100).
So what is so attractive about superhero stories? What draws people to them? What lessons can we learn from them? How do they illustrate mankind's nature, wants, needs and emotions? Is there intended allegory in the stories? Does this have any importance pastorally and in church life?
When super meets ordinary
Despite the extraordinary universe in which the stories are set, the primary themes of superhero stories are very normal and relatable. They appeal to human conscience and morality and stir up emotions and residual desires that show both our wish to be and to have heroes.
Superheroes – at least in their origin – reflected the reality of an ongoing war between good and evil. In a world falling apart, they have regularly reflected a very Judeo-Christian worldview, rooted in a sense of moral objectivity and absolute truth. They are loved because they present good and evil for what they are; they make it easy to pick sides; they recognise absolute truth and justice and that whatever bad may occur, what is good, right and true must always ultimately win. One superhero with perhaps a greater appreciation for absolute truth than others is Captain America. In one monologue he says:
"Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mob say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right… when the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree, beside the river of truth and tell the whole world "No. You move."'
While many continue to abandon the concept of absolute, objective truth, their love of such heroes suggests that they still, in their conscience and hearts, know that it is this absolute and concrete objectivity that the world needs. Truth is not based on fads or trends or decided by culture; it is an unswerving and immovable standard, unaffected by human politics or legislature.
Captain America is not the originator of this idea of following truth and justice. The principle is found back in Psalm 1 in the Bible. These words point the way more clearly than even the best of superheroes: 'Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.' (Psalm 1:1-3)
In the earlier days of modern superhero stories, bad guys were often portrayed in outlandish, sometimes even comical, ways. This did not make their character or actions less evil; their humour and comical portrayal in some ways, paradoxically, made them that much more creepy. Characters such as Batman's nemesis, the Joker, would eventually be developed to become increasingly more gritty in strategy, crime and general psychosis.
Sometimes subplots within superhero stories have now become so gut-wrenchingly realistic that it is possible to sympathise with Alfred the butler's musing in the new film Justice League: 'One misses the days of exploding, wind-up penguins.' Other stories spectacularly portray in a vivid visual form the battle against truly demonic forces, including the recent Avengers vs. Ultron, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman vs. Doomsday and The Justice League vs Steppenwolf. In each of these, the heroes are portrayed as the good versus the demonic evil. Like any anti-Christ figure, at times the evil protagonists come in the guise of bringing good and justice into the world, but in such a way that is itself devoid of mercy and grace.
In The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ultron philosophically muses of what he will bring to the world: 'I was designed to save the world. People would look to the sky and see hope… I'll take that from them first.' Ultron bills himself as a saviour but he has no grace or love.
Elsewhere he says, 'I was meant to be new. I was meant to beautiful. The world would've looked to the sky and seen hope, seen mercy. Instead, they'll look up in horror.' Ultron sees the chaos and destruction he metes out as a good thing and accomplishes his aim of delivering the world without compassion and with a cruelty as hard and cold as the vibranium metal he embodies.
In Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, the twisted and psychotic Lex Luthor regularly rants against God, his goodness and power. Portraying Clark Kent as the God figure, Luthor asserts that if God is all-powerful he cannot be all good, rooting his belief in that God did not keep his father from beating him. Luthor, in creating the Doomsday monster states: 'If man won't kill God, the Devil will do it.' Luthor, embracing evil, is ultimately defeated along with Doomsday. His defeat comes at great cost and much destruction, with great sacrifice and the death of a hero.
Superheroes join us in our struggle Most superhero stories have fairly predictable plot-lines. They consistently feature suffering and pain. Some go beyond physical pain and portray characters with deep emotional angst. This is no less true of the superheroes. In their origin stories we often see the hero shaped through much pain; young Bruce Wayne's parents are shot dead in front of him, paving the way for his development into the Batman. Kal El's parents send him to Earth as their own world meets its destruction. Comics and television shows like Smallville portray Kal El's development on Earth as Clark Kent and the struggles he has in realising his superpowers. Peter Parker (Spider-man) is moulded by the tragic death of his uncle. Steve Rogers (Captain America) is a bullied, sickly and weak young man whose only attractive attribute initially is his good character. Superheroes don't only live in a world of trouble; they are themselves troubled.
Upon taking on their mantles in their respective universes, it is not uncommon for superheroes to continue to face personal battles and difficulties, often feeling helpless and hopeless in the face of evil. In Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, Alfred warns an aging and broody Bruce Wayne of 'The fever, the rage, the feeling of powerlessness that turns good men cruel.' Captain America: Civil War depicts infighting and personal struggles shared by the Avengers. These stories point to the struggles not only with trouble around us but against those within. While superheroes are portrayed as seemingly invincible, they, like humans, can and do die.
While it is common for the comic universe to kill off and subsequently resurrect some of its characters – the Messiah inspired Superman being most notable – others die of all too familiar causes. In The Death of Captain Marvel (1980), it is cancer that kills off the hero. After Civil War (the comic book, not the movie), Steve Rogers takes off his mask as Captain America and turns himself in to S.H.I.E.L.D. In Captain America Vol. 5, No. 25, The 'Sentinel of Liberty' is assassinated while imprisoned. Death is a common theme in Avengers: Infinity War and End Game, with heroes giving their lives in acts of sacrifice portrayed in beautiful and breathtaking ways. It the mortality of these superheroes that make them all the more appealing. Though 'super' and otherworldly, they are simultaneously very human and prone to being abused, misunderstood, slandered, humiliated and even killed. There is something heroic in the humiliation of a superheroes death – and even more so, if the hero is vindicated in regaining life.
Pastoral implications
We are fascinated by superhero stories because, in their own way, they seem so relatable and so real. They don't sugar-coat the realities of the world. They portray physical, mental, emotional and spiritual trouble. They deal with the constant conflict between good and evil. They remind us of what we already know; the world is in a lot of trouble and we want and need a hero who can come into our troubled world, join in our pain, and defeat the evil and suffering.
Natalie Haynes, writing for the BBC, says:
'We are surely drawn to heroes and superheroes because they illuminate the human condition – and they do so precisely because they operate at a slightly inhuman level. Heroes are like us, but more so: stronger, cleverer, faster. They suffer from the same human frailties as we do, but because of their superior powers, these struggles are played out in a more dramatic arena than our own. Superheroes impose order on a chaotic world, which can often seem to be filled with nefarious powers (from natural disasters to supervillains) that mere mortals cannot identify or hope to fight.'
Acclaimed comic book writer Grant Morrison has added:
'We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyse them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.'
Pastorally, these stories help illustrate mankind's deepest longings. We want just, wholesome societies which are very different to our own. We need healing in our land and we know that we need a hero. We expect heroism of our leaders but they all fall short. Superhero stories hold out hope and present an escape from reality where we can dream of something better than what we have.
But the truth is not far away from each one us. There is something much better that we can have and someone that we can point to as better than the best of superheroes.
Jesus is better
The Bible's greatest hero, indeed, the world's greatest hero, is the historical and non-fictional Jesus Christ. His story doesn't gloss over the difficulties of human life; rather, it puts political, personal, psychological and spiritual turmoil on full display. Everything that attracts people to fictitious superhero stories is true of the historically verifiable story of Jesus Christ.
This is why it is important to appreciate comic book fiction and use it, where possible, to point to the facts found in Jesus. Just as the pagan Greek philosophers and poets were used by Paul in a redemptive way, those of us involved in Christian ministry should at least be acquainted with our modern culture, its philosophies, interests and obsessions. Engaging people with words and illustrations they recognise and understand can be greatly used evangelistically. Pointing people to the Messianic inspiration and Christian symbolism that underpins Superman's story can be surprising to them and a real conversation starter. Even with darker stories, such as the X-men franchise's most recent film, Logan, the Judeo-Christian and Messianic themes are undeniable.
Jesus is the hero of heroes: fully God and fully man, miraculously born to save the world, living to die as a sacrifice for all who believe, humiliated, rejected by his own, and yet patient and faithful in fulfilling his mission of deliverance – historically verifiable and resurrected from the dead. He accomplished where our superheroes fail; he is the one who will return and save the world once and for all.
Lois Lane comments at the end of Justice League: 'The truest darkness is not absence of light but that light will never return… But the light always returns… Hope is real. You can see it. All you have to do is look up into the sky.'
Indeed. While Superman is not real, Jesus is and he is coming again.
'He was in the world, and the world was created through him, and yet the world did not recognise him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, he gave them the right to be children of God, to those who believe in his name, who were born, not of natural descent, or of the will of the flesh, or of the will of man, but of God. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We observed his glory, the glory as the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.' (John 1:11-14)
'Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.' (Acts 1:11)

Only 6.5% of cars sold in America use manual transmission, and although this figure is much higher in other countries, automatic cars are steadily increasing in number. While there are a number of legitimate reasons to drive an automatic, there are a few good reasons why a manual transmission might just be better for you.

… Do I feel lucky?
Well, do ya, punk?!
According to a voluntary poll taken at SeasonedGamers.com, 65% of punks DO feel lucky! Some responses considered luck in general, life-encompassing terms:
- "Yes I am lucky. I feel that luck is a direct result from a positive perspective in general."
While others were a bit more pragmatic:
- "I have a home and a car and a job and a few bucks in my pocket. That probably makes me luckier than at least half the humans on this earth."
Those not feeling lucky had some obvious reasons for it:
- "Unfortunately, I'm not lucky at all. My dad has been without a job for forever it seems, causing too much stress in the household. I also had a f#@king tumor on my spine at 18 years old."
And, as an interesting corollary, 60% of the respondents said that they "lean to the right." Unfortunately, little can drawn from these general results as we don't know how each person answered individually. But, at least we know that with this particular cross-section, the cup of luck is more than half-full.

New Delhi. A newly bought Ford Fiesta was seized by local police after the owner of the car failed to post a picture of the car, with him standing alongside, on Facebook within 24 hours of making the purchase.
Mahesh Murthy, a technical analyst in one of India's leading IT companies, recently returned from US after staying there for 2 years on an onsite assignment. He bought the car yesterday.
Sources confirm that Mahesh had clicked at least 20 pictures, some of them showing him and the car in the same frame, but none of them found their way on to the Facebook servers.
"We got a call yesterday afternoon about the incident. The caller did not mention his name. We checked with Ford's dealer agencies and confirmed the purchase and waited for an extra hour to give Mahesh a chance to upload the photos. At around 5 PM, we went down to his flat, seized his car and took him under arrest," said the police officer who arrested Mahesh.
Mahesh spent last night in jail and his family bailed him out today morning.
Upon being asked who he thinks informed the police, Mahesh hinted towards one of his colleagues Venkat, who envied Mahesh because he got a chance to travel onsite within 1 year of joining the company.
"Venkat has not spoken to me in 2 years. He joined the company about 6 months before I did and thought he should have been given the preference over me for onsite travel," Mahesh explained what could have caused enmity between him and Venkat.
Mahesh's family and particularly his girlfriend are quite upset with him after the incident.
"How can he be so stupid? I have told him so many times to be active on Facebook but he doesn't care at all. He has not even liked my latest profile pic even after repeated pings, messages and pokes on Facebook," said Mahesh's girlfriend Vidya, who wondered if her boyfriend was socially misfit.
However, social media is divided over the issue.
Facebook audience has taken a firm stand against Mahesh's laziness and a general disregard for Facebook. There have also been rumors that Mark Zuckerberg has agreed to de-activate Mahesh's account if a total of at least 1,000,000 people 'like' or 'share' the status message put up by the 'Ban Mahesh' page administrator.
Thousands of pictures were also shared on Facebook that had text denouncing Mahesh's acts e.g. "One like for one slap for this lazy guy" or "Please share it if you love your car".
Twitter audience on the other hand, are extremely critical of local police's behavior and government's inaction on the case. Sarcasm and cynicism ruled the day on twitter following this bizarre news. Below are some of those tweets to give you an idea of what Twitterati have to say:
- Got married 5 years back. Still haven't put up marriage pics on FB. Can police please take away my wife too? #Mahesh #PoliceMafia
- Rahul Gandhi announces a visit to Mahesh's house. #IndiaIsGreat
- Posted an album of all my car parts on Facebook. Engine, stereo, steering wheel, Carburetor, fuel cable etc. Why take a chance, right?
Out on bail and quite taken aback by the incident and above reactions, Mahesh has been reported to be trying to retrieve his Facebook password.
"We will give him back his car if he can get as many likes on his car's pic as many rupees he spent on buying it and securing his bail," Delhi police representative confirmed.

Guess what! Another correction...and it's not correct!
Would this surprise anyone? It doesn't surprise me. And then, to top it all off, this correction itself is wrong. Nadine Burns is the treasurer of the Lake Worth Yes group. Herman Robinson is the head of the Lake Worth Yes group. And Herman is not a developer, which was yet another correction.
Something has to change here. It has become a matter of trust.

In the search for the SOUL OF AMERICA I know the voice that will point us there has a very particular tone. Such tone comes from a place beyond the opinion of right and wrong. From presence without need to convince.
Michael spoke with such a tone. This fragment is a piece in an extraordinary puzzle.
These few minutes wonder if we might be a little more courageous, and connected. Whether we might be a little kinder, and a little more gracious and present in the absence of tragedy. Why would we WAIT?
Michael attended a PROGRAM of exploration using the Soul Biographies Inner View Method. At the time of filming (2016) he recently lost his 18 Year Old Daughter, Kelsey, to Leukemia.
When I can locate a PATRON I will make a full Soul Biography from Michael's haunting time in front of the camera. I believe his experience will be a valuable contribution to us all. Do send a MESSAGE if you are that Patron.

Steam Locomotive 'Talyllyn' hauled her last service tonight (18/6/18) before her boiler ticket expires. Her ticket ends on the 20th June 2018.
During the Talyllyn Railway's anything goes gala she hauled her last service before her 10 year overhaul. A sight all enthusiasts are saddened to see.
A brief history on No.1 Talyllyn...
|(c) Alamy Stock Photo | Talyllyn Cabless
Originally built in 1864 by Fletcher, Jennings & Co. of Whitehaven as an 0-4-0ST, "Talyllyn" had a short wheelbase and long rear overhang which led to its rapid conversion to an 0-4-2ST. As the more popular of the line's two original locos "Talyllyn" was in very poor condition by 1945 when it was laid aside. It was rebuilt in 1957-58 by Gibbons Bros. Ltd. but proved problematic and has undergone considerable modification since then, resulting in a much improved performance.
