All the animals come out at night - whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal. Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets. I go all over. I take people to the Bronx, Brooklyn, I take 'em to Harlem. I don't care. Don't make no difference to me. It does to some. Some won't even take spooks. Don't make no difference to me.
This is a declaration made by Travis Bickle, the protagonist of "Taxi Driver" (1976) by Martin Scorsese. This is a film that has been marked as a psychological drama that deals with the features of attaining a better America or the American dream. More precisely in the words of Adams Truslow (1931) American dream beliefs "life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement" irrespective of any discrimination. The entire plot of "Taxi Driver" is developed on the basis of American dream by attaining opportunity for all those who deserve to attain success and prosperity. The film refers to a very personal as well as critical experience added by the realistic view about the post Vietnam War. The protagonist leads the plot towards social instabilities. Specifications were all made about the North-American urbanization. It is here that Travis gets transformed into an odyssey-like personality and eventually a schizophrenic war veteran. He is the taxi driver who drives within the sleaziest areas inside New-York. There is a very strong thread of existential and alienation led by Travis Bickle that suits the passion for attaining the American dream under the manifold existence of loneliness within the protagonist.
Buy Taxi Driver by Martin Scorsese essay paper online
As declared by Martin Scorsese, Travis is an "avenging angel" reciprocate attains prosperity, yet remains at the edge of being a day to day guy with typical lifestyle (Thompson and Christie; edts 1989). As noted by Travis for New York, "I think someone should just take this city and just... just flush it down the fuckin' toilet". There is the picturisation of an extremely frustrated and disturbed personality in Travis that struggles hard to save Iris, a prostitute of twelve years. Travis considers that she must get out of the profession of being a prostitute and choose a better life. Travis feels for Iris and says, "I realize now how much she's just like the others, cold and distant, and many people are like that, women for sure, they're like a union". The efforts of Travis are worth appreciating, but in the approach there is a vast difference in offering real assistance and dealing with the day to day frustrations. The attempts of Travis were remarkable yet but they are also representative of failure that is very common in a city like New York. Being a taxi driver, Travis Bickle actually does not know "much about much", yet is clear about the depth feeling that he cannot stand continuing amount of propagation led by hookers, pimps, junkies along with the low-lives within New York City. In this process his love for a girl turns static though never gets equal response. He gets lonely, drinks a lot and remains depressed. A continuously growing distraction and dissatisfaction of Travis about the world around get symbolized by the green and red lights added by plethora of symbols to illustrate his anger and confusion. Mental aspects of Travis are the core representatives of an instance where the protagonist is nothing more than a dumping ground that signifies anti-thesis approaches of "American Dream" (Garabedian, 1998). It is he who shows permanent mode of underlying violence within the persisting society.
Eventually, Travis as a taxi driver represents all those people who experienced American dream that stands against any fantasy or imagination. A direct irony of urbanization and the affects of the same over Travis is the ultimate approach of the "Taxi Driver" that specifically marks the aspects of American dream in any American.

Dr. Caroline Fenkel, LCSW
Caroline Fenkel is the Executive Director of the Center for Families in Malvern, Pennsylvania. The Center for Families is a safe place for teens and families to find community support, education, and sustainable healing for mental health and substance abuse struggles.
Caroline's passion lies in helping heal adolescents through the use of experiential therapy, group therapy, and animal-assisted therapy. Her career began with her love for horses: She majored in equine studies and minored in psychology at Delaware Valley University, then completed her master's degree in social work at Bryn Mawr College. From there, she combined these two focuses through practicing equine-assisted therapy and other forms of experiential therapy, including Relational Trauma Repair and adventure therapy. Caroline has worked with adolescents and young adults at all levels of care, including outpatient and residential, at numerous national programs, including Pyramid Healthcare, Adolescent Advocates, Mirmont Treatment Center, Elements Behavioral Health, and Newport Academy. Caroline recently earned her doctorate in clinical social work from the University of Pennsylvania. Caroline's passion for helping those with substance use disorders stems from her own experience in long-term recovery. Dr. Fenkel's strong systemic, evidence based social work background, propels her to support prevention programs throughout the region.
Keynote Speakers
Pam & Bill Roberts
Pam and Bill Roberts, along with their children, are in long term recovery. Since 2006, they have been active in starting and expanding parent support groups throughout our region, interacting with hundreds of parents, therapists, recovery service providers, nonprofit organizations, and government representatives to educate and transform "parental behaviors" – something they consider to be a prerequisite to improving prospects for a healthy, reconnected family.
In 2012, Pam and Bill began preparing a series of parent support group manuals, including personal experiences shared by dozens of parent group members and their therapists, as resources for parents and other family members to gain a better understanding of the disease of addiction, how it impacts the whole family, and how behavioral changes associated with "family recovery" translate to giving everyone a better chance at recovery. The primary manual "Standing in the Storm" is available for download at no cost through the Be a Part of the Conversation website at conversation.zone/storm.

Become a Brentwood Volunteer
1. Every volunteer, field trip chaperone, or classroom party volunteer must have a background check completed through PCSC. Many of your completed these forms when you enrolled your children online this year as the forms were included. If you still need to fill one out for this year please contact the office well in advance of your first visit to do this.
2. Every volunteer must also complete a PCSC Confidentiality Volunteer Agreement in the office upon their first time volunteering each year.
3. Every visitor to our building during school hours must check-in at the reception desk and be entered into our Safe Visitor system. The very fist time you visit you must have your Driver's License or State Issued ID Card which will be scanned into the computer. Most likely you will NOT need it again upon subsequent visits because the system stores your information. (However, should a glich appear in the system and it is required of you it would be more convenient on you if you had your ID with you.) Every visitor is photographed at the same time they are checked in upon their first visit also.
Thank you for your flexibility as we continue to learn this software during our second year of its use. We know your first priority, as ours in the office, is the safety of all of our children.
(Lunch Room visitors will sit at a specially designated table with only their child and therefore will only be checked into our Safe Visitor system (#3) above.) They are not required to complete steps 1-2 above unless they want to volunteer in a classroom or small group setting, chaperone a field trip, or help out at PTO run classroom parties or events.)

Year after year friends and family members gather around to celebrate the 75 years strong, boys high school hockey tournament in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Long time infinity images employee Charley Spilker and his friend Scott Martinson have created a 50 year tradition that began from their shared love towards Hockey.
Soon the tradition met a fork in the road when Charley and his family decided to move to Portland, Oregon in 1989. Although relocating to the northwest was a big move for Charley, distance didn't stop him from continuing to go back to Minneapolis, Minnesota every year to experience another hockey tournament with his friend Scott.
Something we can all learn from Charley and Scott is the importance of friendship and building a tradition that allows us create meaningful memories we can always look back on and share a smile with the people we care about.
Now that might leave you feeling eager and wondering..
Who is going to be the upcoming, home town hero this year?

Joi can help you with:
Schedule Session with Coach Joi
Currently Joi is only scheduling with Center for Peace clients. To contact joi with questions about appointments you can email her at email@example.com
I didn't want to be a part of this trauma club but unfortunately I was signed up against my will as it seems those in need of support share. I was lost in the sea of despair and shock from the abrupt change of a life known to the unknown in a matter of seconds, the anchor that I had planted in my future was uprooted and I was adrift.
After weeks of not knowing which way was up I stumbled across BTR and fortunately I found myself in Joi's first hosted session, I was the only one that attended that night and was privileged to have entered one of the safest spaces ever held for me since my world was turned upside down. The time I have shared with Joi since has been filled with compassionate truths and an endless amount of space and safety. Joi's heart is in every word. The times I have felt the most alone and afraid Joi hasn't hesitated to assure me that I am no longer walking through this journey alone. Her personal experience is invaluable but professionally Joi is in a league of her own. She has a vast knowledge of materials and has been able to provide almost personalized recommendations that fit me so perfectly that it is a true testament to her ability to actively listen and tailor information to the individual client. If you sadly find yourself on this journey there is no better support than Joi. Thank you, you have changed my life.
I am extremely grateful for Coach Joi's insightful support. I am a 72-year-old woman, 29 months out from finding out about my ex-husband's abusive behaviors and still facing enormous challenges around his secret life of cheating with prostitutes for decades. As my recovery continues, I have been particularly pained by the reactions of my adult sons, especially the one son who has accused me of being partly to blame for his father's choices. Nothing I have told him convinced him otherwise. His father claims that he has made amends and told our son that he was 100% responsible for his actions. So, I knew that I would need an outside expert to give evidence and support.
Fortunately, I was able to find BTR two months ago. And I felt the astonishing support immediately that comes from joining their groups led by the most compassionate, caring, knowledgeable and understanding women coaches.
After meeting Coach Joi in one of the group sessions, I met with her one-on-one. Fortified by Coach Joi's excellent one-page expert summary and by several key statements in BTR's checklist, I have just had the challenging but successful conversation with my son about his father's behaviors. He finally gets it. And I no longer have the humiliation of my son's blaming me.
Coach Joi's willingness to help me in this made all the difference! Coach Joi is compassionate, brilliant, quick to respond, deeply caring, insightful and an excellent writer. I am so grateful for her understanding of exactly what I needed and her expertise!

For some, he may be a laughing stock but behind all the laughter, we can't deny Papa Penny Penny continues to not only impress but teach us a lot about this thing called life.
Think about it, two weeks ago Papa Penny showed us how much he really loves and values his wife by preparing a romantic dinner for his wife and daughter.
Many of us may laugh at his inability to speak English fluently, but it is not how fluent he is in English that makes his show trend almost every week, but it is his family values and knowledge about life that makes us admire Papa Penny Penny.
Last week, Papa Penny Penny taught us yet another valuable lesson about respecting and celebrating our African cultures and traditions as he not only completed paying lobola for his wife but also reminded us of the value and the importance of showing love and taking care of your mothers no matter how old you are.
So if you haven't called your mom in a while we'd suggest you pick up your phone and call your first lady.
And of course, it wouldn't be a true Papa Penny Penny episode without his very hilarious comments, last week he confused everyone when he explained his theory about diamonds and how they serve as a spiritual connection for him.
And let's not forget about his black feather outfit that made him feel as though he was flying.
On the topic of the color black, did you know, that according to Papa Penny Penny, he is not black but gold? The Tsonga disco king collaborated with rapper/producer, JR to create a song about being gold and not black.
#PapaPennyAhee lol there is no black bone we all Goldy in colour ai mathata tse tsona pic.twitter.com/YaWgkQ3dws— INSTA:Bad_DOG_NEO (@BAD_DOG_neo) March 1, 2017
And of course social media had a field day with Papa Penny Penny's gold statement.

So dear readers, you are not black but gold. R.I.P to the yellow bone phenomena, gold bone is now the new trend.
#PapaPennyAhee No more yellow, only GOLD pic.twitter.com/DTtDODAfJF— IG:nonhlanhla_dagama (@Noni_DaGama) March 1, 2017
As hilarious as the song sounds, we must admit that the song is catchy, how many of you last night went to bed singing. "I'm not black! I'm a goldie color!?"

Follow us on
New DC coupé will be powered by a 4.0-litre V8; to be offered with a seven-speed automatic gearbox.
It was in 2012 that Dilip Chhabria, India's most famous automobile designer (and founder of DC Design), pulled the covers off of the Avanti. Now, a full six years later, DC Design is set to introduce a new mid-engined sportscar at the Auto Expo 2018.
DC Design has been working on an all-new coupé named 'TCA', which denotes titanium, carbon fibre and aluminium, possibly hinting at the materials to be used in the car's construction. It will be based on a heavily reworked version of the Avanti platform, and as a result, the TCA will be longer and wider than the Avanti.
In terms of design, the TCA is likely to head into a new direction. As the teaser image reveals, the car will sport cleaner bodywork with fewer lines than on the Avanti. Inside, you can expect to see a mix of the materials the car takes its name from.
With the increase in size will come the need for more power, and DC will equip the TCA coupé with a 4.0-litre V8 engine that will make upwards of 400hp. That's a big step up from the Avanti, which employed a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder engine putting out 250hp.
But the big news with the TCA is its gearbox. One of the biggest grouses with the Avanti was its heavy clutch, and so, instead of a six-speed manual, the new coupé will get a seven-speed torque converter automatic sending power to the rear wheels. The significant increase in power and the use of lighter materials in its construction should better the Avanti's 0-100kph time (6sec) and top speed (electronically limited 200kph) with ease.
Despite it being significantly different from the Avanti, the TCA is expected to be priced at just under Rs 40 lakh, which would it make it only slightly more expensive than the Avanti, and the most affordable V8-engined car in the country – by some margin.
The TCA will be unveiled on February 7. You can catch it at Hall No 1 at the Auto Expo.

Mario Kart Tour Continues Nintendo's Free-To-Start Mobile Model
Details continue to be scarce for Nintendo's next mobile offering, but we at least know you'll have to shell out some cash at some point.
Looking at the performance of Super Mario Run, Nintendo hasn't had the desired impact on mobile devices. Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp looks to turn their fortunes around and Mario Kart, a major franchise for the company, will be entering the mobile arena with Mario Kart Tour. Tour should launch before the end of the next fiscal year (so, before March 2019) and an important detail on its structure has arisen. Mario Kart Tour won't be free-to-play or pay-to-win, it will be free-to-start.
DeNA CEO said "Mario Kart Tour," a Nintendo-DeNA smartphone game planned for FY18, will be free-to-start.— Takashi Mochizuki (@mochi_wsj) February 8, 2018
Free-to-start isn't a new designation for mobile games. Super Mario Run had a similar model that required players to pay to access later levels and Pocket Camp encourages some monetary investments in order to skip typical mobile timed event restraints. Does this change your desire to play? Let us know in the Chatty.
Charles Singletary posted a new article, Mario Kart Tour Continues Nintendo's Free-To-Start Mobile Model
Er, seems "Free-to-Start" is Nintendo's name for Free-to-Play.
"I do not like to use the term 'Free-to-play,'" says Iwata. "I have come to realize that there is a degree of insincerity to consumers with this terminology, since so-called 'Free-to-play' should be referred to more accurately as 'Free-to-start.'"
It even says "Cost: Free to start (in-app purchases available)" on the Animal Crossing Pocket Camp site:

I have watched Strictly since it started and I love it. Great programme full of old fashioned Saturday night entertainment even if we have to put up with the wooden Tess and Claudia's eccentricities which are now beginning to have a studied air about them. The glitter, the fake tan, the costumes etc all lovely.
There have been cries of Fix in the past but on the whole I have found them to be based on slight foundations. This series has seen a lot of dissatisfaction with some of the results. Peter Andre won in the dance off against Jamelia and there was uproar with Jamelia appearing on Loose Women and saying the standing ovation Peter received was fake and did not happen. Immediately contradicted by members of the audience who were there and said this was not true. Len had to appear on Strictly defending the judges and their decision and it all died down.While I do not think for one moment there is pressure on the judges to fix it so that a certain contestant gets through, it is clear that there is a subtle or not so subtle way of getting rid of those they do not want to make the final.
By this stage the comic turns have gone and so have the mediocre. There is always one Shock Departure and it usually involves somebody who no matter how good they are, has not connected with the public. Last year it was Pixi Lott and this year it was Helen George. At quarter and semi-final stage the contenders are almost on equal ground. And yet....
It has been clear for a few weeks now that the judges, in particular Craig, wants Anita Rani to go. Undermarked all the time this has been a talking point for weeks. Craig gave her a 6 last week, totally stupid score, and we all knew that the only way Anita would survive was for her to avoid the dance off. If she made the dance off she was gone and we all knew it.
General consensus on many of the forums last night was that Katie and Anton should go. Both their dances were poor and Anton's choreography was lackluster to say the least. Fond though I am of him I do think it is time he went, he is being shown up by the younger professionals coming along. Sadly Anita ended up in the dance off and I knew that was that, but hoping that the less deserving couple would go. I am totally appalled at the fact that Katie Derham has got through. She is one of the weakest dancers left. Craig gave her a four for heaven's sake. As Anita's routine was exactly the kind of dance Len does not like it left the final choice to him and of course he went for the ballroom. Craig actually voted for her - left it a bit late dahling....
So do not tell me the judges do not get their way. Time for a change I think. There have been rumblings and rumours about them this year with chat being that Bruno Tonioli is fed up with Craig as is Darcy and his 'negative' attitude. Len seems to be getting grumpier by the week though perhaps with Craig gone he might cheer up. I have always had the highest respect for Craig as I think he says it as it is but this series he has really gone too far in my opinion and perhaps it is time to go.
Kevin Clifton seems to be the favourite at the moment - he can do no wrong and his sister turns up on It takes Two with monotonous regularity. People like Kristina have been kept in the background the last few weeks and Ola has left in a huff. One gets the feeling that the show needs to be, in BBC parlance, 'refreshed' and taking a good hard look at some of the judges might be the place to start.
And of course if they decided to 'refresh' Tess I would be delighted. Her frenetic clutching and pawing of the Slebs is getting beyond acceptable and her patronising tone to Jay when she said 'oh look at the smile on his little face' was quite nauseating.
After all this, my thoughts on the show last night was that it was a bit sub standard. Probably having to do two dances was a bit much and of course poor Georgia had been poorly as we were told repeatedly; Jay denied dropping Aliona saying it was all part of the routine (got through of course); as I have already said team Kanton were poor; Anita and Gleb danced their socks off and were totally marked down; Kevin and Kellie did a totally sexless rumba which the judges thought was marvellous; they also did an American Smooth which I loved but overall it seemed a subdued evening and judges were tetchy.
Anita is the embodiment of what this show is all about. No dance training whatsoever and she turned herself into a great dancer. But when you are up against the usual Eastenders sleb and others who have all had dance training and know how to present themselves, the odds are stacked against you.
And the judges have made it so clear they want Jay to win, I would love it if the public decided to tell them to Get Stuffed and voted for somebody else.

Sen. Brown on-board Pairings Ohio
William A. West Wwest News Service
Harpersfield_ U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown-D, paid a visit to the Ferrante Winery and Ristorante Tuesday to voice support for the proposed "Pairings Ohio" incubator in Geneva. Brown, sponsor of the Business Incubator Promotion Act (BIPA), described the need for small business incubators to an audience of local government officials and business owners.
"Nearly two-thirds of the jobs are created by small businesses," Brown said. "Ashtabula County has done some pretty interesting things; especially with the issue of incubators."Democrats and Republicans alike listened as Brown stressed the need of his legislation to help business incubators.
"There is generally bipartisan agreement in the Congress on many of the things we should be doing to help small business and incubators," Brown said. "Incubators are especially important; they provide technical assistance to help entrepreneurs take a viable idea and turn it into a viable economic enterprise."
The "Pairings Ohio" Incubator idea is relying on donations, grants and fund raisers to become a reality for Ashtabula County. Sen. Brown's new legislation would help support business incubators like "Pairings Ohio', he said.
More Ohio communities would become eligible for funding that supports business incubators through the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA).
"Every $10,000 of EDA investment by the federal government creates between 40 to 70 jobs," Brown said.
Incubator support has already created hundreds of thousands jobs by providing start-up companies with support services Brown said.
"This legislation (BIPA) is aimed at helping these hard-hit regions create higher skill, higher wage jobs," Brown said. "Competitive grants will help communities introduce new businesses and expand existing ones."
James Pearson, Geneva mayor, Mark Winchell, board president of the proposed Pairings, Ohio's Wine and Culinary Experience Incubator, Jim Arbaczewski, past president of the Ohio Wine Producers Association, and Susan Stocker, dean of Kent State University – Ashtabula, also provided a few comments how BIPA will help more entrepreneurs start their small businesses.Like

Believers Who Believe
Will See Healings
Paul Crawford
I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone
steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself
be able to do the things that I do; and he
will do even greater things than these,
because I go to the Father.
~ John 14:12 amp
was raised in a Pentecostal church where my father was pastor. We believed healing was for today and we prayed for the sick. I received the baptism in the Holy Spirit at age twelve during a summer outdoor meeting. I spoke in tongues for hours that night. I felt like I could burst with joy. The stars in the sky were the most brilliant I had ever seen. The whole world was beautiful. All the people were beautiful. I had unlimited love for everyone that night.
At age twenty-seven, I saw my first visible healing at a Kathryn Kuhlman meeting. In the 1970's, Kathryn was known around the world for meetings where significant healings took place. She held regular crusades throughout the USA and was interested having them videotaped. She asked me to study ways this could be done discreetly. She was sensitive to and honored the Holy Spirit. Miss Kuhlman gave me free access to any place in her meeting� auditorium or onstage. I was standing in the center aisle of the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California, when a young woman began screaming.
I could see she was staring at her mother's hands, gnarled with arthritis. Popping and crackling noises were coming from the hands as they straightened and became whole. All the swelling disappeared and she began flexing them in amazement.
I saw many healings that day and heard more than a hundred testimonies of God's healing power at work. For two years, I attended each monthly meeting at the Shrine Auditorium and witnessed the evidence of God healing people without any human hype or laying on of hands. Miss Kuhlman would lay hands on them and pray for them after they were healed.
I attended Kathryn Kuhlman crusades in other cities and had numerous personal meetings with her. This woman preached the Word, entered into extended praise and worship, and honored and welcomed the Holy Spirit. She was the real thing.
In 1984 I met Charles and Frances Hunter at a Full Gospel Business Men's Convention in Tacoma, Washington. This was the first time the Hunters spoke at a FGBMFI event. Frances had previously been injured by a person falling on her while she prayed for them. She asked me to accompany her as she went down to pray for the people who lined up to receive healing. From just inches away, I saw the Holy Spirit move upon many people who would be overcome by God's love, transformed by His touch, and receive their healing.
The Hunters were conducting Healing Explosion meetings across the U.S. They invited me to one in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. The meeting offered two days of training and a one-day healing service. For the first time, I experienced people being healed when I laid hands on them. Over the next few years, my wife Lynn and I served with Charles and Frances at many meetings and training sessions in more than twenty cities. I set up and coordinated their overseas Healing Explosion meetings for three years in Tokyo, Osaka, Taipei, Hong Kong, Canton, Kiev, Manila, Cebu, Copenhagen, and many more cities.
One of the Hunters' themes was: If Charles and Frances can do it, you can do it too. Lynn and I heard this theme enough times that we started to believe it. So we began conducting our own Healing Explosion meetings we called God's Healing Power Through You. We followed the Hunters' pattern. Most of the people who took the training with the Hunters were "Charis-Maniac types" and very well-grounded in the Word of God. The Hunters' teaching and training assumed the trainees had a basic understanding of God's Word.
With our God's Healing Power In And Through You meetings, we had traditional Christians in mind, who might not have a broad knowledge of the Bible. We focus on Scripture dealing with healing and our individual response to the Word in action[HAC2] . Our training program is designed to saturate Christians in the Word of God. As with the Hunters, our theme is found in:
& And then He told them, "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak new languages. They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won't hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick and they will be healed." (Mark 16:15–18 nlt)
I have studied this verse in thirty-eight different Bible translations. The Young's Translation says: "Believers who Believe" will lay hands on the sick and they will be healed. This has been my experience all over the world �with brand new Christians and with older Christians who have been "re-ignited."
Believers who believe will lay hands on the sick
and they will be healed.
Praise God! I have seen people who have never ministered before lay hands on a person who has been blind from birth and instantly the person received their sight.
Our typical God's Healing Power Through You seminar is a three-day event held in conjunction with a group of churches. Our model has been developed from personal rela-tionships with individuals gifted in healing: Kathryn Kuhlman, Charles and Frances Hunter, and John Wimber. Watching Benny Hinn, Kenneth Hagen, and Oral Roberts minister really inspired us.
Our study of John G. Lake, Smith Wigglesworth, William Branham, and many other heroes of healing faith have impacted us and our seminars. We usually do teaching, training, and a healing demonstration on Friday evening and all day Saturday. We have a healing service on Sunday afternoon where the trainees are the ones to do the work of the ministry by putting their faith and the Scripture into practice. It's awesome!
After nine hours of teaching and training that is focused on faith, healing, the works of Jesus, and His commission to all believers. The trainees become "Believers who BELIEVE." Our seminar contains six sessions, averaging ninety minutes each, and are a combination of teaching and healing demonstration.
Countless individuals have been healed during these dramatic demonstrations of God's healing power. After twelve hours in the Word and with a unity of purpose, a corporate anointing comes upon the group that overcomes sickness, disease, oppression, and all works of the devil. Because our teaching is not limited to hearing, but also contains the doing of what God's Word tells us, we see God work His healing miracles through the hands, prayers, and faith of ordinary Christians.

The concept of songwriting has evolved. From communal folk songs that evolved over millennia in the public domain to the sampling of other artists' recordings, ownership has gone from irrelevant to essential revenue streams for the songwriter or the company that owns the song. It also gets more complicated if ownership percentages are determined when there was more than one songwriter.

Many are familiar with Cards Against Humanity. The premise of this popular party game is for one player to draw a black card with a question or a "fill-in-the-blank" prompt, and the fellow players then respond using answers provided on white cards in their hand. The player needing a response then picks the funniest response and awards a point.

Every family has a story that it tells itself, that it passes on to the children and grandchildren. The story grows over the years, mutates, some parts are sharpened, others dropped and there is often debate about what really happened. But even with these different sides of the same story, there is still agreement that this is the family story and in the absence of other narratives, it becomes the flagpole that the family hangs its identity from.

I don't have a lot of time to blog as you might have noticed.
Today we've been listening to baby Einstein and looking at bedroom sets for little Euan. Daddy Walker has asked me to look for one that we like and he'll have it sent to our new home; what a lovely gift- Thank you Dad!
One thing I love about the new sets is that they convert. They grow from baby crib to teenage bed- this is fantastic!
I love this giraffe room for a little boy. Euan giggles at all the animal sounds we make for him. I'm pretty sure he will love animals and adventure just as I do.
Happy Summer! xoxo

What an amazing day it turned out to be after such a yucky weekend....
Connor served us breakfast in bed, the boys had a game of footy in the park and then we walked down to the harbour front and had Sunday lunch at the Cottage Inn, Baltic Wharf. We cheated and took the ferry across but then walked off our lunch by taking the long way back.

I went shopping with my sister-in-law today. First stop, Links of London, who happened to be having a massive sale. After spending an hour oohing and aahing over the charms, I took home these ones... I'm so excited to add them to my bracelet, probably being the last I'll add while in England. Both of our bracelets are getting pretty full.
Thanks Links for having such a great sale!

Our HHT (house hunting trip) is coming to a close. It has mostly been successful and positive with only a few hiccups throughout the two weeks. Steve and I have once again accomplished something amazing together, we talked about what we wanted before we left England and came together this week to purchase the perfect house for our family. All of these big life events make me appreciate my husband more and more; together we are solid and it's one of the best feelings in the world. Now that I have got the sentiment out of the way.....

Hundreds of enthusiastic royal-watchers have descended on London, where four days of festivities are getting underway to honour the Queen's ascension to the British throne 60 years ago.
Friday, 1 June 2012
We are taking the morning off from house hunting while we wait for an offer to go through on a house we like in Ottawa.
On our walk about this morning we ran into one of Steve's friend who let us know that they are having the Mosaika Sound and Light Show on Parliament Hill this week. So if we can brave a late night tonight, having had some pretty brutal jet lag the past few days, we'll go. I was pretty nervous about moving to a new city in August, but after spending a few days here and getting to know the neighborhoods, I really think we are going to enjoy living in our Nation's Capital over the next few years.

Map It! Stuyvesant Street
Next in the Map It! series is Stuyvesant Street, which runs through the northern portion of the East Village between Second and Third Avenues. Today, it's one of the shortest streets in the city, but did you know at one point it was much longer?
Stuyvesant Street is one of the oldest streets in New York City. Named for Petrus Stuyvesant (1727-1805), the great-grandson of Petrus Stuyvesant (also referred to as Peter, d. 1672 and the last Dutch West India Company director-general of New Amsterdam), the street originally ran through Petrus' vast farmland beginning at present-day Fourth Avenue. It stretched to the Stuyvesant House, which was located roughly around today's First Avenue and East 16th Street with views of the East River.
As you can see on the map below, Stuyvesant Street was once a prominent thoroughfare in the area, and ran through much of the present-day East Village and past 14th Street. The red line indicates the original street, which was laid out in 1787. The blue lines indicate what actually remains of the street today.
Sanborn maps are a wonderful resource for discovering former streets and they can even help you in understanding how certain buildings and lots are shaped. What may be a curious diagonally-shaped lot today could have once been right off a now de-mapped street. (We encourage you to look through historic maps in the Map Room of the New York Public Library at 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue!) In the case of Stuyvesant Street, however, the Commissioner's Plan of 1811 practically wiped the street off the map, and existing buildings conform to the street grid that characterizes Manhattan north of this area.
To the left is a map from 1815; Stuyvesant Street is visible at the lower end of the image. The map, which includes the gridded streets, also shows St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery and a number of residences that are now located in the St. Mark's Historic District (designated in 1969). That designation report is available on our Resources page.
The stretch of Stuyvesant Street that ran past St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery was developed as a sitting area in 1938. Just for fun, the aerial map from 1924 below shows what that stretch looked like at that time.
That portion of the street, though long closed, is still visible today in the form of Abe Lebewohl Park. Greenmarkets, benches and concert series provide residents and tourists alike an opportunity to sit and relax in front of one of New York's most beautiful churches.
And, speaking of which, if you're looking for a great free outdoor activity this summer, the Third Street Music School Settlement runs Music in Abe Lebewohl Park (click to see the schedule) every Thursday at 12:30pm. Held directly in front of St. Mark's Church, the concert series features a range of performers and is presented in association with the Tenth and Stuyvesant Streets Block Association and St. Mark's. Marilyn Appleberg, long-time East Village resident and 2012 Village Award winner, can also be found helping out with the festivities!

Staff will be relocated
Paddy Power Betfair will be closing its Betfair office in Gibraltar this coming August, according to a report from EGR Intel.
Roughly 20 members of staff will be relocated to the company's Dublin and London offices.
Phill Brear, Gibraltar's gambling commissioner said the news came as no surprise despite the operator's previous commitment to maintaining a Gibraltar presence.
The decision is believed to be a cost-cutting exercise related to the Paddy Power Betfair merger rather than anything to do with Brexit.
The operator has confirmed that they will be giving up their Gibraltar gaming licence with the goal of simplifying and centralising operations within the merged group. They will continue to operate under an MGA (Malta Gaming Authority) licence.

Class of nineties outshines others in Test cricket3 min read . Updated: 26 Oct 2018, 12:04 AM IST
Cricketers who debuted in the 1990s set more Test records than players from all other decades, and also shaped unique narratives for their countries
When Rangana Herath walks away from international cricket next month, the Sri Lankan spin bowler will take a bow for an individual record that is as distinguished as it gets—he is one of the top 10 wicket-takers in Test cricket. Herath, 40, will also bid adieu for an entire generation of cricketers whose imprint on Test cricket runs wide and deep, for he is the last of the active Test cricketers who debuted in the 1990s.
And what a generation of cricketers this Class of Nineties has been. Six of the top 10 run-getters in Test cricket belong to this generation: Ricky Ponting, Jacques Kallis, Rahul Dravid, Brian Lara, Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Mahela Jayawardene. As do five of the top 10 Test wicket-takers: Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne, Anil Kumble, Glenn McGrath and Herath. Had he not started in 1989, at the age of 16, Sachin Tendulkar, too, would have been in the list.
A prolific presence at the top can be seen for the top eight Test-playing countries in both batting and bowling, especially the former. We took the top 50 run-getters and top 50 wicket-takers for each of these eight countries. That's 400 batsmen and 400 bowlers. We mapped them by their decade of debut. As one keeps narrowing to the top—from top 20 to top 10 to top 5—the superiority of the Class of Nineties over other decades not only remains, it keeps increasing. For example, if one takes the top 20 run-getters of the eight teams (160 batsmen), 24% of them debuted in the 1990s, the most for any decade. And if one takes the top five run-getters of the eight teams (40 batsmen), the representation of the 1990s increases to 38% (chart 1). It's partly the nature of sport, and the natural progression of numbers.
Across sports, with greater commercialization, the playing season has become longer. Between 1990 and 2009, 811 Test matches were completed, nearly double the number played during the 1970s and 1980s (464 matches).
The Class of Nineties was the first generation to reap the benefits of a surge in broadcast deals, corporate sponsorships and viewer interest. Yet, what remains remarkable about the Class of Nineties is that it remains a cut above the two decades that preceded it, as well as the one that followed it, most of whose players have already called time on their international careers. For instance, among the top 10 run-getters for the eight teams, the 1990s set has scored more than twice the number of runs as the 1970s and the 1980s set. And, it exceeds the 2000s set by 43%. It's not that these batsmen averaged more, they together scored much more. Among bowlers, the match-winning quality among the top 10 wicket-takers is stark: They took thrice as many five-wicket hauls as the 1980s set and twice as many as the 2000s set (chart 2).
Beyond numbers, the Class of Nineties shaped unique narratives in the cricketing journeys of their respective countries. For India, this was the generation that started chipping away at the narrative that Indians made for poor travellers. For Australia, this was the generation that drove a gritty side to glory. For South Africa, this was the generation that steered the country's return to international cricket in 1992 after a 22-year ban for Apartheid. For Sri Lanka, this was the generation that entrenched them into the cricketing mainstream (chart 3).
But for England, Pakistan and West Indies, the 1990s did not hold similar kind of weight. England barely registered on batting and bowling figures, with only Alec Stewart featuring from the 1990s as one of the top five run-getters for the country. Pakistan and West Indies had two batsmen, apiece, from this decade in the top-five, but the blanks in the bowling department is a grim reminder of the bowling stock that preceded this generation in the two countries.
Yet, these remain side notes to a glittering and unique confluence of cricketers, one that will be a hard act to emulate.

Renewed Calls to Pass Mandatory Minimum Prison Sentence for Illegal Gun Possession in Philadelphia
On August 20, 2014
Philadelphia, June 20, 2014 — 22-year-old Brandon Ruffin is facing Murder, Attempted Murder, Aggravated Assault and other charges for the senseless shooting on August 1, 2014, on Etting Street, that claimed the life of
3-year-old Tynirah Borum. Ruffin, a convicted felon who was scheduled for a premlinary hearing today, would have been behind bars at the time of the murder if a mandatory minimum sentence for illegally carrying a firearm in Philadelphia had been enacted.
Today, Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams was joined by State Senator Larry Farnese (D-Phila), State Representative John Taylor (R-Phila), Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey, Councilman Kenyatta Johnson, Delaware County District Attorney Jack Whelan, Bucks County District Attorney David Heckler, the First Assistant District Attorneys of Montgomery and Chester Counties, and local religious leaders to once again encourage lawmakers in Harrisburg to pass House Bill 1091 or Senate Bill 801. The legislation would increase the sentence for illegally carrying of a firearm in Philadelphia under Title 18, Section 6108 to a third degree felony and add a mandatory minimum sentence of at least two years of total confinement; currently the offense is a misdemeanor.
"A 3-year-old girl lost her life while getting her hair braided on a front porch," said District Attorney Seth Williams. "There are no words to explain how or why this happened, but in my heart I believe there is a way we can show our respect for little Tynirah Borum. The best way to honor her memory is to pass this legislation sponsored Senator Farnese and Representative Taylor."
"This bill will give prosecutors an additional tool to fight illegal firearm possession and violence in the City of Philadelphia," said Representative John Taylor (R-Phila). "This is commonsense legislation and it is long overdue. We must do everything we can to protect our families from gun violence, and that starts with making sure those who illegally carry weapons are placed behind bars."
"It's good to once again stand with State Representative John Taylor, who is sponsoring similar legislation in the House, and Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams to advocate for the passage of legislation that will set a mandatory minimum sentence for illegally carrying a gun in Philadelphia," said Senator Larry Farnese (D-Phila). "Unfortunately, recent events have brought the dangers of illegal guns and gun violence to too many of Philadelphia's neighborhoods, which is why so many members of the community have come together today to join us in calling for the passage of this legislation so we can give law enforcement another tool to keep our city safe."
It is important to note that the language of House Bill 1091 and Senate Bill 801 puts the burden on the Commonwealth to prove that the possessor of the firearm is not the lawful owner. This language is necessary for several reasons, including where travelers from other counties have entered Philadelphia via automobile and get pulled over with a firearm in their car.
It is also worth noting that of those arrested for homicide by firearm between July, 2013 and July, 2014, only two possessed permits to carry a firearm, further demonstrating that this legislation targets individuals who are not law-abiding.
"Let's be clear, this legislation is for illegal gun possession in Philadelphia," continued the District Attorney. "It is the irresponsible and illegal actions of people like Brandon Ruffin that continue to damage the entire city of Philadelphia, and the passage of this legislation will help us keep the Brandon Ruffins of the world behind bars longer."
Delaware County District Attorney Jack Whelan and Bucks County District Attorney David Heckler stressed that this legislation will help reduce violence in the counties that surround Philadelphia. Mr. Whalen said that "…this legislation will help us reduce violence in Delaware County. Providing my law enforcement partners in Philadelphia an additional tool to target criminals that carry firearms illegally will help get them off the streets before they commit violent crimes in Delaware County."
Echoing this point, Bucks County District Attorney David Heckler added, "This two year mandatory minimum sentence will be a big help to Bucks County. Many times, those who carry guns without a license in Philadelphia cross the county line to Bucks County for the purpose of committing more crimes. We need to be proactive and stop criminals before they terrorize more people. I urge quick passage of this legislation."

Kochi: Creating a landmark in the history of inland movement through National Waterways 3 & 9, the first barge named KPACT-1 with four (40 feet) import loaded containers was flagged off today from Cochin Port.
Cochin Port Trust said port trust chairman in charge A.V. Ramana flagged off the barge in the presence of Chief Commissioner of Customs, officials of the Port, DP World, Customs, Shipping Line and Kottayam Port.
The barge will travel to Kottayam Port, thus reducing carbon footprint and congestion on the roads.
A regular service between ICTT Cochin and Kottayam Port and ICD will greatly benefit the importers and exporters by way of reduced haulage for the last and first mile connectivity.
It is expected that the cost of movement by waterway will be 30 to 40 per cent cheaper compared to road movement. This is in line with the objective of 'Sagarmala', the flagship programme of Ministry of Shipping, Government of India.
Incidentally, this was the result of the initiative taken by Cochin Port Trust.
The Kottayam Port, a private-public participation project, was commissioned in December 2009.
Sources said a 240-tonne barge, capable of ferrying eight 20-foot containers or four 40-foot containers, would operate through the inland waterway to the Kochi port. It would substantially reduce the cost of transportation.
Besides cost factor, transporting the containers in extra-wide lorries on road would create severe traffic hold-ups in Kottayam town and Alappuzha.
The sources pointed out that waterways offer the most energy-efficient and least-polluting mode of transport. They also lessen congestion, pollution and accidents on roads. The Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) has installed buoys on the waterway, to enable safe navigation during night time too.
The sources said a container yard that will act as a buffer between the export and import cargo will be set up at the Kottayam port, country's first inland container depot (ICD) project.

Citizens United, Citizens United Foundation and The Presidential Coalition have filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court urging the Justices to reverse three lower court decisions blocking the Trump Administration's efforts to end former President Barack Obama's DACA immigration order. Our brief makes three main arguments: (1) The Trump Administration's decision to end DACA is not subject to judicial review; (2) the decision to end DACA was legal; and (3) DACA was unlawful from its inception, and even if DACA is not unlawful, the Trump Administration's decision to end DACA is lawful. The Supreme Court is slated to hear argument in the case later this year or early next year with a decision expected by the end of June 2020.

I don't think you can do that easily... however, .NET can use ActiveX dlls
via Interops, so you don't need to recompile.
There have been changes in VB6 syntax and .NET, so you can't just
recompile. You'll have to make some changes (significant?).

Lions 30 – Packers 10
Week 9 found the Lions in Green Bay. In the past 25 years or so, the Lions really haven't fared well there. Quarterbacks Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers have pretty much had the Lions number. Well, this time it was a little different.
Rodgers went out week 6 with a collarbone injury and has the potential to be out the rest of the year. That means the Lions had a chance. They would have to handle their business though. Handle it they did. The Lions came into Lambeau, took the lead 7-0 in the first and never looked back. And you know what else? The Lions never had to punt. When was the last time that happened? It was 1971, in case you were curious.
King Of The Pride: Quarterback Matthew Stafford gets the honor this time. Stafford threw for 361 yards, 2 touchdowns to wide receiver Marvin Jones, and zero interceptions. His first touchdown was his 200th of his career. There were still a few rough spots, as they were still unable to score a few times in the red zone, settling for field goals, but this time it didn't hurt the Lions chances of winning.
Honorable mention goes to cornerback Darius Slay. He had a couple of huge plays on receiver Jordy Nelson towards the end of the game. He didn't get called for pass interference, and honestly, I was quite surprised. He has been really good at corner. Just goes about his business, shuts guys down, and also makes some clutch interceptions.
Darius Slay just got away with a mugging that would have him in jail in 48 states & Canada.
— Dave Birkett (@davebirkett) November 7, 2017
Not King Of The Pride: Hard to say this time since mostly everyone did well. However, I will have to put it on running back Ameer Abdullah. While he's struggling to get his running going, he did have two fumbles. He turned one over, and offensive lineman Rick Wagner was able to recover one. Abdullah also scored a touchdown, so it sort of negates the fumbles.
Next Up: The Lions come back home to take on the winless Browns. While the Lions can celebrate their division win against the Packers, it's going to be important for them not to overlook the Browns. They may be a winless team, but as we all know, any given Sunday. The Lions will need to stay focused on the Browns and continue their great offensive play. The defense this week also looked great. Hopefully it keeps up at home, and the Lions keep their playoff hopes alive.
By the way….check out this amazing fact:
The #Lions are 1-3 at home and 3-1 on the road this year.

Evolution arises out of grave failure. Natural selection requires large and variable populations comprised for the most part of organisms whose designs fail to match their present circumstances. Any design matched right is in the meantime still subject to chance destruction occurring across spatiotemporal scales.
So strict engineering optimization is embodied in no organismal design, contra religiosos and radical adaptationists alike. Nor does it reside in the process of selection: every species eventually dies out–by maladaptation, stochastic extirpation, or an external force (say, a large meteorite in yo' face).
And yet biological life began early on Earth and continues on four billion years later, and will do so in one form or another after the present climate collapses or we nuke ourselves senseless.

My Next Thing: Petabridge - the Future of Distributed Software in .NET
After wrapping up MarkedUp, I took some time off to consider my future. Travel. See old friends. Catch up on rest.
During the entire time I was gone I received a steady stream of questions and inquiries about two open source projects I helped found:
- Akka.NET, the .NET port of Typesafe's wildly successful Akka distributed actor framework and
- Helios – a .NET port of Java's popular Netty socket programming library; Helios powers the network communication used by Akka.Remote and Akka.Cluster within Akka.NET. All of these developers reached out to me – asking how to get X part of Helios working in their LOB app; "am I doing this Akka.Remote thing right?;" and many other permutations of the sort.
This got me thinking… How big is the population of .NET developers out there who want to learn how to build distributed apps? Turns out – there are tens of thousands of them. But they need help – the tools and the training and the knowledge just aren't there for .NET developers.
Not long ago I ranted, vociferously, about the deplorable state of .NET open source. But in the course of actually taking a seat on the other side of the table – owning projects that other .NET developers are trying to use in their other applications, I realized how hard it really is to build a reliable and well-maintained open source project.
You really need a corporate patron to make it work long-term. Cassandra has DataStax, NServiceBus has Particular, and so on.
Introducing Petabridge
- And on that note, I am pleased to announce that I am co-founding Petabridge – a company dedicated to making distributed computing easy and accessible for .NET developers. My partner in crime is my longtime friend and fellow software developer, Andrew Skotzko. You can read Andrew's Petabridge announcement here.
We're making it our goal to build a business around .NET open source projects like Helios and Akka.NET, initially by offering training, support, and consulting services for developers who want to use them. We will be contributing work back to these two projects under the appropriate OSS licenses (both of them use Apache 2.0.)
We believe that these two projects have a larger role to play in the .NET ecosystem and will act as the foundation for more ambitious, distributed programming projects in the .NET ecosystem that haven't even been invented yet. We have several designs in mind ourselves.
I see a bright future ahead for .NET and its OSS ecosystem, but it needs companies like Petabridge and Particular to support the bigger projects. Writing open source code is one thing, but educating developers who want to use it is another – especially with something as mind-bending as the Actor model.
First Order of Business: Akka.NET Training
The first thing Petabridge will be offering is soup-to-nuts Akka.NET training – learn everything from how the Actor model works to building your first substantial Akka.NET application.
We'll be offering free online Akka.NET tutorials and webinars – so go to our website and sign up to receive updates about upcoming Akka.NET training.
Onto a new adventure!

- Reduction of the production costs for laser diodes
- Chip-scal optical communication
- Increased computational speed and reduced energy consuption for digital divices
The increasing demand for higher data processing speeds and the minimization of the energy costs per bit are main challenges in the fields of computer science and communication. In order to exploit the high data rates and low-energy consumption provided by optical communication on a microchip level, powerful light sources seamlessly integrated with electrical circuits are urgently needed. However, the intrinsic inability of silicon to efficiently emit light in combination with the incompatibility of active laser materials with silicon microchips demands for novel strategies to enable chip-scale optical communication.
Bilder & Videos
The presented innovation uses III-V nanowires that allow the monolithic integration of laser materials on silicon whilst providing excellent material quality. The patented geometry allows light recirculation in the nanowires and thus enables laser emission from monolithically integrated devices on microchips. Furthermore, the invention could allow to shift the production of conventional semiconductor lasers to the silicon platform and thus enable a dramatic reduction of laser diode fabrication costs. The present invention consists overall of a new structure of an on-chip nanowire laser device, in which a tailored dielectric interlayer is inserted at the NW-Silicon interface to enable lasing operation. Based on that, low-threshold lasing and single mode operation can be achieved. The device allows charge carrier injection directly via the silicon substrate and can be seamlessly integrated with microchip electronics.
This innovation opens the possibility for the efficient integration of lasers on silicon platforms. The fabrication of nanowire laser arrays on 8" and 12" silicon wafers would allow a dramatic reduction of the production cost of laser diodes. Integrated on microchips, the innovation opens the door to chip-scale optical communication allowing strongly increased computation speeds and a reduced energy consumption of digital devices.
