Happy Friday! It's Wendy Blight, author of Hidden Joy. I'm excited and grateful to join you today. As an author, it's rare to intimately connect with the women who read my studies. So, please know how much I treasure spending this time with you.
When Proverbs chose Hidden Joy, I asked God to draw each woman He was calling to meet Him in the pages of His story as told through my story. Sweet friend, if you're reading these words, know with confidence it's because God drew you here!
Today, I want to encourage you to move forward from a place of confidence. Spending time in God's Word leads to forward progress and fresh perspectives.
With each week, God will carry you to healthier, better places as He reveals more and more of His character, assuring you He is FAITHFUL and TRUE. The GOD WHO SEES. The GOD WHO HEALS. The GOD WHO PROVIDES.
As we learn, study and pray God's promises, you'll gain a new lens through which to view your circumstances. My favorite promise from this week is Psalm 84:6:
"When they walk through the Valley of Weeping, it will become a place of springs where pools of blessing and refreshment collect after rains!" (TLB)
How can the most tragic and hard to understand places in our lives move from valleys of weeping to pools of blessings and refreshment? Because of God's promises.
"My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen carefully to my words. Don't lose sight of them. Let them penetrate deep into your heart, for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body." Proverbs 4:20-22 NLT (emphasis added)
These are God's promises! If you want to feel alive again. If you want to find healing physically, spiritually and emotionally, STAND on God's Word.
What does it mean to stand? Be diligent. Be committed. Don't waver. READ all the chapters and Scriptures in Hidden Joy. Tackle the Bible Study Companion. Allow God to take you deeper into His Word than you've ever been before. BELIEVE what He's taught you, and what you learn next week, and the week after that. And, PRAY for God to move mightily in your life. He will be faithful.
Stand and believe God because He loves you lavishly and is worthy of your trust.
What are you afraid of, or hesitant about, as we wrap up Week 1? Share with us one way you will STAND strong against your fear and hesitancy.
And, will you do this for me? Write a short prayer or word of encouragement for your sister who shared in the comment above yours.
Don't forget, all comments will be entered into this week's giveaway!
For Your Weekend:
Here's the next Week at a Glance to help you plan ahead for Week 2!

Join us for a second day at Paignton using GWR No.4555 on a short branch line passenger train.
Our second full day at the Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway sees us using GWR 4500 Class No.4555 on a short passenger train, being turned mid-morning to allow shots with the loco facing into Paignton .

Only 13 tickets left
About this event
Our second day with 4555 at the Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway sees us using the locomotive both facing chimney first out of Paignton and then, following turning at Churston, facing chimney first into Paignton to allow us to include the shots leaving Greenway just beyond the Halt, and then Higher Ferry and Greenway Viaduct later in the afternoon.
Our day will start at 06.45 at the PDSR station at Paignton with our customary yet most important safety briefing before leaving chimney first for our first shots near Goodrington just after 07.00. At around 10.15 we will turn the locomotive at Churston after which the train will be repositioned ready for the shots along the lane on the Paignton side of Greenway Halt. The loco will face Paignton for the remainder of the day allowing us a range of different opportunities from those offered on Sunday. We will arrive back at Paignton at around 17.00 hours.
No.4555 was built in 1924 and was originally shedded at Tyseley Depot. It worked in Wales out of Machynlleth and Pwllheli depots and ended it's career in the West Country, being withdrawn from Plymouth Laira Depot in November 1963. The loco was purchased by two Midlands-based enthusiasts, Pat Garland and Pat Whitehouse, and could still be seen in main line action locally around Birmingham after it had been secured for preservation. No.4555 received a light overhaul and came with a kit of spare parts including a reserve boiler, this being the final boiler to be overhauled at Wolverhampton Works. It is particularly appropriate for it to be visiting the South Devon Railway as, back in 1969, the locomotive hauled the first public train on the preserved SDR (then the Dart Valley Railway) and also worked the last BR-era goods over the line in 1962. Transfer to what is now the Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway came in 1973 where it has remained based ever since, and the engine has recently benefitted from a major overhaul.
The locomotive is paying the briefest of working visits to its home line before leaving to work contracted services on other heritage lines, so this is a limited chance to recreate scenes of some forty years ago on this scenic and picturesque railway.

In Memory of Dr. Milt Waldron
Dr. Milt Waldron, a beloved member of the Semester at Sea family, passed away Tuesday night, surrounded by family and close friends. Dr. Waldron has been involved with the program since his daughter Cynthia (Cindy) Franquemont sailed in the mid-1980s. He sailed on a full voyage as the physician with his wife Betty in 1990 and subsequently sailed on 23 full or partial voyages since that time. "We added it up once, and we've spent over four-and-a-half years at sea," Dr. Waldron once said. "Watching students mature and gain independence is one of the best parts of this program."
The Waldrons have been generous and passionate supporters of Semester at Sea, funding the naming of the Waldron Clinic on the MV Explorer as well as a field program scholarship (the Milt and Betty Waldron Fund).
The Semester at Sea community lost an incredible man last night. To many who interacted with Dr. Waldron, he was more than someone who was always there to patch or mend scratches, broken bones, seasickness, concussions, travelers' diarrhea, monkey bites, and homesickness; he was also a laugh-until-you-cry storyteller, die-hard Broncos fan, and dear friend to many. Dr. Waldron is survived by his wife, Betty, his son Brent, daughter-in-law Angela, daughter Cynthia (Cindy) Franquemont, son-in-law Doug Franquemont, and six grandchildren, Christopher, Daniel, Sarah, Logan, Dahlyn, and Cameron (in addition to countless shipboard extended family members). His presence on Semester at Sea impacted the lives of innumerable voyagers and will be felt for years to come. Please join the Institute for Shipboard Education and Semester at Sea voyagers in celebrating the life of someone who was such a compassionate and inspirational member of our community.
At the request of Betty and the rest of the Waldron family, family and friends are invited to celebrate Milt's life during a memorial service on the 2018-2019 Homecoming Voyage aboard the MV World Odyssey.
13 Comments
Thank you for this beautiful and touching tribute. Milt's comments touch the heart of Semester at Sea and state with clarity who I too cherish this program and support it so others can share the experience.
Milt touched so many lives. I am a better person for having him as a colleague and friend. RIP my friend.
I am saddened to hear of Milt's passing. He was an incredible man and friend to all who knew him. My favorite memory of Milt was in 1995 during a Christmas Caribbean sailing. We were in Curacao amd he had just given a talk to the Passengers about what NOT to eat or drink in the port. I then went ashore with Betty and Milt to have lunch. We ended up having a bacon, lettuce and tomoto sandwich. Of course, these were all things Walt had listed as foods NOT to eat while in port. Needless to say, we all had a little belly ache. However, it didn't stop us from finding a restaurant to watch the Steelers vs Cowboys Super Bowl game that night. What great memories! Rest in Peace, Milt. Love to your family.
I'm heartbroken for Betty, the rest of his family, friends and thousands of future SAS voyagers who won't have a chance to meet such a wonderful human being. He was much loved and will be much missed.
The Dash by Linda Ellis
I read of a man who stood to speak at a funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on the tombstone from the beginning…to the end.
He noted that first came the date of birth and spoke of the following date with tears, but said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years.
For that dash represents all the time they spent alive on earth and now only those who loved them know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own, the cars..the house…the cash. What matters is how we lived and loved and how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard; are there things you'd like to change? For you never know how much time is left that still can be rearranged.
To be less quick to anger and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we've never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile…remembering that this special dash might only last a little while.
So when your eulogy is being read, with your life's actions to rehash, would you be proud of the things they say about how you lived your dash?
Milt should be incredibly proud of his "Dash".
Milt was a big part of my shipboard experiences. My deepest sympathies to Betty and the rest of the family. No one could give a port talk like Milt. I watch him work on both Semester voyages and Enrichment voyages and he was always an impressive addition to the talent shows. He was a delightful man. I am grateful to have known him.
Milt was simply the best – a true role model for how to live our personal, family and professional lives. Milt and Betty were a huge part of so many Semester at Sea experiences for so many students, faculty and staff. Thank you, Milt, and take care Betty. A life well lived and an unforgettable journey.
I had the privilege and honor of being with Milt and family during his final moments last Tuesday. He left us the way he wanted to, with dignity, grace, and humor. Milt has been more then a friend, father, brother, etc., to me for over 28 years, and while I grieve his loss, I celebrate his spirit and the impact he had on the hundreds if not thousands of lives he touch during his time with us. There will be a memorial for family and friends on July 1, 2018 at the Younger Ranch in Monument Colorado at 10am, and as mentioned in this post thanks to the support of ISE President Gary Ransdell a special tribute and memorial for Milt during the alumni reunion voyage in January. I look forward to seeing many of you there as we celebrate Milt's life.
Beautiful video – thank you for posting. I fondly remember our conversations during the Summer 2005 voyage.
what I remember most about Milt was the humor and creativity with which he presented info before shore leave. He was a tremendous asset for the program. I knew Betty better having been an adult coordinator. I grieve for her.
Milt was Semester at Sea. He embodied everything good about the program and was a true source of light and joy every time I was fortunate enough to be near him. I am heartbroken and send all my best to Betty.
Dr. Waldron and Betty provided the tender touch, care and loving presence I needed while I was so very sick on my spring 1990 SAS voyage – I was a student on that voyage and fell terribly ill whilst in India. Milt and Betty cared for me on a daily basis, and it made such a an impact on the homesick & bodysick kiddo that I was. I have frequently spoken about him when recalling my voyage to my children – one of which will be sailing on the Fall 2018 voyage. My condolence to Betty and her family –
I was a student from Hong Kong in the S90 program. I remember eating some conch salad in the Bahamas prior to boarding the ship, and broke out in hives the day I boarded the ship. Needless to say Dr Waldron was one of the very first person I met when I started SAS. I spoke very little English at the time, and I knew no one on the ship. He was warm, kind, caring, and both him and Betty were such a blessing to me during that voyage. I am very grateful for his love and care, and I will miss him dearly. Over the years I have lost touch with them but often think about how loving they were to me. Thank you so much! I count it a privilege to have met you. Betty, hugs to you, my prayers to you and your family!
What a gem! We have such fond memories of our time with Milt and Betty – Spring 99 – and then visits with them in their home in Colorado. He cared deeply about the entire shipboard community and all those he met. He was pragmatic and funny and added so much to our experience. Our condolences to his family – and an especially big hug to Betty, Brent and Angie! Trish and Nathan, Ben and Leah

The fairy tale world of the public television stations
Fairy tales inspire dreams and desires, and let adults be children again. It is no wonder, then, that the classic, early-19th century household tales from the Brothers Grimm have lost none of their magic and new film adaptations are now being made.
Some seasons seem better suited to telling fairy tales than others. During the cold winter, for example, or on public holidays, our televisions are transformed into fantastic storytellers. And the classics have lost none of their charm, drawing in millions to sit for hours in front of the tube. In recent years, the public TV stations ARD and ZDF have been hard at work reviving the famous Children's and Household Tales of the Brothers Grimm. The revised versions of these traditional stories, however, are intended to be more in stride with the morals of our modern world.
The Brothers Grimm – modern classicsAlongside Martin Luther's Bible, the Grimm collection of Children's and Household Tales is one of the most famous and widespread books to ever come from Germany – it has been translated into 160 languages. Written between 1812 and 1815, during the German Romantic period which they very much helped shape, the fairy tales and poems they compiled would ultimately create a new category spanning many epochs. Their collection of over 200 stories is heavily influenced by the rich folklore and ancient songs of the region and includes classics like Hansel and Gretel, The Valiant Little Tailor and Cinderella, all of which are still energetically staged at children's theaters around the globe.
The significance of the Grimm fairy tales within German cultural history can be clearly seen at the Brothers Grimm Museum in Kassel, home to a collection of their valuable manuscripts that were declared a UNESCO Memory of the World in 2005. "They represent the first systematic compilation as well as the first scholastic documentation of the entire European and Asian fairy tale tradition," according to the UNESCO statement.
New film adaptations of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales – ZDF started things offBack in 2005, three years before ARD, ZDF began reproducing the fairy tale classics, all kicked off by the film version of Little Red Riding Hood. The adaptation created an unusual connection between the fairy tale's traditional story line and figures taken from the present day. Rumpelstiltskin came out the following year and in 2008 the broadcaster risked an original interpretation of the all-time classic Sleeping Beauty. In 2010, Cinderella was a hit with viewers starring Simone Thomalla as the evil stepmother. In 2011, the station decided to tell a rather less-known tale, that of Iron John. It is a coming-of-age story about a prince full of magic and adventure but it is one of the darker fables collected by the brothers.
The ZDF fairy tale workshop is currently working on two new stories as well: The Beauty and the Beast and The Six Swans, both of which will come out in 2013.
"Sechs auf einen Streich" (Six in One) – an ARD productionOn December 20, 2008, ARD broadcast the famous Grimm tale The Wishing Table for the first time during the lunch hour slot. Filmed at the LWL Open-Air Museum Detmold and its environs, the TV movie was similar to the fairy tales that followed in this series, boasting a slew of famous actors cast in completely new roles, such as Christine Neubauer as an innkeeper or Ingo Naujoks as a thief. That is not all, however. The ARD fairy tale series also uses new film adaptations to set itself apart from the more traditional stories. The Wishing Table, for example, doesn't have three heroes at the center of the story, but just one. This shows the predominantly young viewers that even people who don't seem like they will amount to much can often exceed expectations. In 2009, 2010 and 2011, ARD continued its successful series and since then they have produced and broadcast a total of 20 adaptations – and no end is in sight!
Grimm fairy tales in a DVD box at the Goethe-Institut
To accompany its Fairy Tale Worlds exhibition the Goethe-Institut has issued 10 new fairy tale film adaptations on DVD. They originate from the ARD series Sechs auf einen Streich, but idioms and colloquial language have been updated in order to give children a new connection to the old stories.

By Michael Hoch, Energy Efficiency Coordinator, City of Talent
After college, I was eager to find work back in the United States. I just completed my master's in environmental and developmental economics in London and was ready to use it at my next job. When I got back, I started applying to federal jobs doing research in energy economics. Then, one day, this all came to an end. I woke up to multiple miss calls saying that the jobs I was applying for were terminated due to an executive order by our new president. When this happened, I kept trying to find a job in that field but failed…
As time kept going on, I decided to take a job doing habitat restoration and volunteer management at a city's parks and recreation department. I decided to work this job until I could find a job in the energy or economic research sector. During this time of waiting, I decided to become active in some nonprofits that restore and build hiking trails. After doing this for almost two years, I was starting to lose hope to find a job in the line of work I desired. Then, at a nonprofit event, I met someone who was serving her first RARE year in The Gorge: Lauren Kolojechick-Kotch. After talking to her for a little bit about the RARE program, she peaked my interest. Later that evening, I did more research on the RARE program and knew I had to apply to the program.
Then, a couple months later, I received the call for being accepted into the program and was thrilled! After a couple of weeks of interviews and waiting, I finally found out that I would be working for the City of Talent as their Energy Efficiency Coordinator. I would finally be able to work in the energy sector!
Since I started this program, I have been able to say I thoroughly enjoy my job and placement. This RARE program has allowed me to change career paths to the path I want to have my career in. I spend my days doing multiple different things: research, data analysis, community development, renewable energy development and energy education. With this array of task, I never get bored and always have something interesting to work on!
This program also allowed me to meet some awesome people. Firstly, I will start with the University of Oregon staff: Aniko, Titus and Julie. They are all awesome people who absolutely love what they do. Aniko and Titus have both gone through the RARE program and know what you are going through. Both are always there to help you out professionally or personally. Secondly, the next awesome people I got to meet were people in my cohort. This group of people came from all over the United States. Each of them brings a vast amount of different experiences and knowledge to share with everyone. To be in the program for only a few months and know that some of these people will be life-long friends is truly amazing. Lastly, this program has allowed me to meet multiple different people from various organizations which I could see myself working for in the future. Making these professional connections are invaluable.
In short, I would like to thank Lauren for telling me about this program and University of Oregon staff for letting me into the program. I will be indebted to you for everything you have given me.
About the Author, Michael Hoch: Michael completed his undergraduate studies in Economics at the University of Oregon and his graduate studies in Economics with Reference to Environment and Development from SOAS, University of London.

If you are in the habit of regularly visiting a dentist for check-ups, you can likely vouch for how effectively your dentist can help to keep your teeth looking great. However, you might not have realised that the range of treatments available from a dentist can include far more than just fillings.
You shouldn't underestimate fillings' usefulness for cavities resulting from tooth decay, as the Patient site makes clear. Still, the following cosmetic dentistry treatments are also available…
A filling can be effectively useless for a cavity if that cavity is larger than a particular size. This is where a crown can come in more useful. There are also occasions where decay can so weaken a tooth that a crown is a better option than a filling for protecting that tooth.
Each crown is a cover or cap that fits on top of what remains of the natural tooth. In this way, the crown will protect and secure that tooth remnant.
Teeth whitening
Some behaviours can make your teeth more prone to picking up stains or discolouration. These behaviours include smoking as well as consuming drinks like coffee and tea.
However, your dentist can make your teeth noticeably whiter by bleaching your teeth with a process known as teeth whitening, as explained by WebMD. You should seriously consider receiving teeth whitening at a dental practice, rather than at home, for especially time-effective results.
This is the word used for custom shells, usually comprising porcelain, which fit on the front of the teeth and so visibly change teeth in colour, shape or both. Veneers are appropriate for teeth of poor shape or a slightly crooked look. They can also be used to conceal worn teeth.
Your dentist will need an impression of teeth to which they will fit veneers. For this reason, it won't be until you visit that dentist for a second time that these veneers will be inserted.
One rather technical term for a bridge is "fixed partial denture". If you have missing teeth, bridges can be used to fill those gaps with artificial teeth.
Before a bridge is actually put in place, your dentist will prepare surrounding teeth for crowns. The bridge will subsequently be anchored onto those teeth. Keep in mind that, once your mouth has a fixed bridge, only a dentist is capable of detaching it.
You might consider opting for implants instead of bridges, as implants can also be used to replace missing teeth. Each implant consists of a crown, which is meant to resemble a natural tooth; an abutment; and titanium metal, which will fuse to the jawbone into which it is inserted.
Even if you would like a complete arch of teeth – whether the upper or lower arch – replaced, this is possible with implants. People who live in or near Wandsworth, Clapham or Balham in London could particularly consider "All-on-4" implant treatment – so-called as it requires only four uniquely-positioned implants per arch – available from the private firm Ten Dental.

50 Most Valuable Brands Of The Year 2019
The Silicon Review
"We built our entire technology on very high performing, elastic cloud infrastructure."
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing our world. The enhancement in speech recognition, natural language understanding and deep discovery has opened the door to a new world.
Voice is taking over. Smart speakers are already entering our lives, allowing businesses to engage with their customers in new ways.
In light of the above-mentioned scenario, we're thrilled to present speak2web.
speak2web is taking voice to the next level; helping companies building an integrated Web/Voice experience, turning their web site into a virtual shop with sales clerk on duty 24x7.
The company is helping businesses of all sizes to embrace AI and to create a completely new way to engage with their customers on the web and on mobile apps.
Through the integration of a small component, every web page and the business app can be turned into an intelligent sales tool, allowing for the free-flowing dialog to navigate the eCommerce store and assisting customers in a completely new way.
speak2web works with companies to create their own, customized voice experience.
The company was incorporated in 2018 and is headquartered in Minnesota. It has additional offices located in Ohio and Pune (India).
Walter Angerer, speak2web Founder/CEO, spoke exclusively to The Silicon Review. Below is an excerpt.
Q. Why was the company set up? And how did you expand your company and its offerings over the years?
The absence of voice support for online portals is becoming an increasing issue for the industry. Most everything has adopted voice, from cars to watches to TV remotes, but for some reason, the web has been excluded from the trend. Speak2web has taken on the task to add voice to the web. Interacting with online portals via voice is a much superior experience and addresses a number of issues. Navigating online portals on mobile devices is very difficult, some part of the population is challenged with the technology in general and navigating the web with a mouse and keyboard can be difficult and so is the game of 'guess the keyword'.
We at speak2web have made it our mission to enable web developers to add a real live voice dialog and navigation to their online portals within minutes. With this new technology, we hope to quickly increase the adoption of voice across the web and simplify the way we interact with online portals.
Q. How successful was your first project roll on? Share the experience.
Our company started off building custom solutions for large enterprise clients. Those solutions have been built to specification; to address the need for multi-billion dollar eCommerce companies.
The experience was a game changer for our client. With the AI technology in place, we managed to go away from a keyword search and click navigation, and have opened the door to a natural language dialog with the customer. Fully understanding the user's intent allows us to drive product search and navigation in a way that previously was impossible.
Our recent move into the lower end of the business with our turn-key 'Do It Yourself ' plugin and service has brought this technology now to a much broader audience. Our customers love the simplicity and power the solution brings to their online portals. WordPress users can add real voice dialogs and voice navigation to their site within minutes for very little money.
Q. What challenges did you face in your initial years?
The biggest challenge at the beginning was to explain to customers how voice can be used in this context. We all are used to smart speakers and voice commands on devices like TV remotes. How to leverage voice on a web portal was more difficult to picture. To make it easier for clients to experience and learn how to engage voice, we decided to release the WordPress plugin that can be setup and used within minutes and customers can sign up for a 'pay as you go' plan. With that in place out clients can self-serve and experience voice within minutes without any major financial commitment.
Moreover, we built our entire technology on very high performing, elastic cloud infrastructure. A focus on solid architecture and infrastructure from the beginning is very important. It is very difficult to change or migrate once customers are live on the platform. Thinking about performance, scalability and reliability from the very beginning is very important. We also found it very important to choose the right technology partners. We decided to go with IBM and AWS regardless of the cost. Building the solution on proven enterprise-class technology allows us to provide superior solutions to our clients; small and large.
Q. "Earning trust and respect of consumers all around the world is through consistent focus on delivering high quality in all of our actions." How do you interpret this statement?
We believe that a passion for quality and customer support is needed to be successful. In our company, we put the client first. Customer satisfaction is our highest goal. We frequently go the extra mile to ensure that we serve our customers well.
Q. Do you have any new products ready to be launched?
We just released the WordPress self-serve plugin. Our next focus will be to proliferate the plugin to other web technologies. Later in the year, we plan to release a voice-driven online market called Simon's Market. Simon's Market will be 100 percent voice-driven virtual shopping mall where consumers and customers can interact with virtual assistants via voice to find what they are looking for.
Q. Where do you see your company a couple of years from now?
We want to continue our effort to help all companies adopt AI technology. We have made our focus to embrace relevant AI technology and make it easy to consume for everyone.AI should not be limited to large companies with scientists on staff. We believe we can continue to innovate and find ways to help businesses of all sizes and skills to leverage AI.
Walter Angerer: An Entrepreneur at Heart
Walter Angerer has been working with AI since 1997. Prior to founding speak2web, he has been leading several companies as CEO and worked as a Venture Partner at Toba Capital. After bringing his focus back to AI in 2017, Mr. Angerer decided to take on the mission to bring voice support to online portals.

MCALLEN, Texas — The bodies of what appeared to be a migrant woman in her 20s and three children — two infants and a toddler — were found Sunday night near the edge of the Rio Grande outside the South Texas city of McAllen, authorities said.
Migrant deaths happen with grim regularity along parts of the United States' southwestern border, largely when adults and unaccompanied teenagers succumb to harsh desert conditions or a lack of water and die of dehydration, heat stroke, or hypothermia. The discovery Sunday was unusual — it is rare for officials to discover dead migrant children on the US side of the border and rarer still for the bodies of three children to be found together.
"Most of the time we usually find either adults or teenagers, but this is the first time we've actually found infants and toddlers, and it is pretty shocking for us," said Hidalgo County Sheriff J.E. Guerra, who broke the news of the discovery on Twitter late Sunday night.
Officials said that there were as yet no signs of foul play and that the four may have died from dehydration and heat exposure. The bodies appeared to be those of immigrants in the country illegally, but neither their identities nor their country of origin had been determined Monday.
Migrants from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras have crossed the border by the thousands in recent months, overwhelming Border Patrol agents, nonprofit groups, and local officials.
The four bodies were found by Border Patrol agents across the river from Reynosa, Mexico, in an area on the US side of the border that is heavily traveled by Central American families. They were in a brush-covered region southeast of Anzalduas Park on federal property owned by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, near the state-run Las Palomas Wildlife Management Area, officials said. The FBI was leading the investigation because the bodies were found on federal land.
"It's an incredibly heartbreaking situation, which seems to happen far too often," Special Agent Michelle Lee, a spokeswoman for the FBI in San Antonio, said in a statement.
Early Monday morning, Anzalduas Park was quiet. The only noises were chirping birds and a slight ripple from the river, aside from the occasional Border Patrol truck or county constable vehicle driving by. The park — a 96-acre recreation area with picnic tables, playgrounds, and a boat dock that is about 6 miles from downtown McAllen — has been a popular backdrop for visiting officials from Washington. President Trump passed through earlier this year during his only visit to the Texas-Mexico border as president.
The area near the park along the Rio Grande has been a migrant-crossing hub in Hidalgo County. Migrant families with children cross the river here in small or large groups on makeshift rafts and then walk inland in search of Border Patrol agents so they can turn themselves in.
Migrant deaths are more common far north of the river's edge, on private ranchland deeper into South Texas. In those areas, water is harder to find, the terrain is more isolated and expansive, and migrants often hike for days ill-prepared for the journey.
It was unclear what went wrong for the woman and children whose bodies were found: whether they had gotten lost in the brush in the heat, whether they were already ill when they crossed the river, whether they were abandoned by smugglers or other migrants. Guerra said they were found in a makeshift staging area, a clearing near the river where groups of migrants often gather after they cross the river. From there, they typically walk deeper into the countryside to look for federal agents.
South Texas is always hot in June, but the heat has been extreme in recent days.
On Monday, the National Weather Service issued a "dangerous" heat advisory for the Rio Grande Valley region of South Texas, which includes McAllen. "Heat-related illnesses will likely occur for anyone working or playing outdoors for extended periods of time today," the advisory said.
Over the last week in the valley, temperatures have regularly approached or exceeded 100 degrees. On Wednesday, the temperature hit 108 degrees.
The Rio Grande Valley is the busiest Border Patrol sector for migrant apprehensions on the nearly 2,000-mile border with Mexico.
In May, a total of 132,887 migrant adults and children were apprehended between ports of entry on the entire southern border, an increase from 99,304 in April, according to Customs and Border Protection, the Border Patrol's parent agency. Earlier this month, agents in the Rio Grande Valley sector apprehended more than 4,100 migrants in just three days.

The owners were downsizing from a fabulous older home to a brand new smaller home where they could leave the maintenance and go on more world adventures as retirement was just around the corner. The clients valued their outdoor space and enjoyed spending time outdoors. On the wish list was a built-in-BBQ, fire pit, hot tub, privacy, water feature and low maintenance. The challenge- a very small back yard!
With the initial design concept approved, the overall completed design and material choices were completed. The installation commenced and provided a sunken hot tub, covered BBQ area, a discreet rock bubbler and a stone fire pit. A new hedge was installed to complement the raised seating wall and help create the outdoor room feel. A lattice trellis was added to provide privacy for the spa as well as a home for the climbing plants. With the low maintenance patios and walls, there was still room for some raised stone garden walls which soften the hardness with texture and color. Overall the small space now feels like a much larger space as well as incorporating all of the client's wishes. Whether BBQing under cover on a rainy day, unwinding in the spa or sitting around the warmth of a fire in the summer evenings, this space serves as a functional space as well as a beautiful space.
Let's get started working together on your dream backyard.

We can also help you if you have an affiliate program that has really gone poorly. We can help inject new ideas and get your sales back on the upswing before it is too late to recover.

This will give you more control and help you build a long lasting personal relationship with all of your affiliates from the very beginning.

The era of re-engineering manufacturing processes has matured, while the era of re-engineering service-information processes is in its infancy. Re-engineering and TQM of service-information processes are the biggest topics for the 90's. A poll conducted by ComputerWorld magazine, found re-engineering and TQM were the most important activities to many companies' businesses. The Information Systems (IS) group will be a major player in successful re-engineering of programs in service-information processes. The IS group has the background and knowledge regarding what can be accomplished using computers. For this reason the ideas of reengineering are explored from the point of view of the IS group. This paper presents 6 principles based on Hammer's principles. All these principles should be kept in mind when starting any re-engineering project.
This project is only available to students, staff, and faculty of Portland State University.

[News] 2NE1 camp eyes Young JV
By JOJO P. PANALIGAN
Rising hip hop and R&B artist Young JV may just get the biggest break in his career next year if he could seal the deal to be one of the front acts at Korean girl group 2NE1's planned Manila concert.
Nothing is final yet, but Young JV informed Manila Bulletin Entertainment Online that the promoter for the concert has already contacted him and his road manager to make arrangements.
"The promoter's name is D-Mac, a former schoolmate of mine. He already knew that I have an album out but it was really my videos on YouTube that got him interested in getting me for the concert," said Young JV in an exclusive interview.
If plans push through, the 2NE1 concert will be held at Araneta Coliseum in March.
"D-Mac and I already talked on the phone and I think some people are also trying get Rain and The Wonder Girls (act behind the hit song, 'Nobody') to hold separate concerts here," said Young JV.
If all goes well, Young JV said that his talent fee would be of no issue since he knows how big 2NE1 is in Asia nowadays.
"Even if they give me a small talent fee, I'll accept the offer. Even if they only had a bottle of water for a fee, I'll go out there and perform for the exposure doing so will give me," said he who counts 2NE1's "Fire" and "I Don't Care" singles as ones he is most familiar with.
While waiting for things to fall into place, Young JV is busy tending to his career that continues to gather steam. He is set to release "Don't Know You," the latest single from his debut CD, "Ready Or Not." The song is in collaboration with singer Heide Riego and has a video directed by Treb Monteras II.
"'Don't Know You' talks about taking it slow with someone because you want to get to know that person better before taking the relationship to a different level. We went for a simple and clean look for the video because the song is the feel-good type," he said.
Meanwhile, Young JV's Lahing Bayani Foundation continues to make significant strides. It recently donated to the Sagip Kapamilya campaign with Young JV himself delivering the goods to ABS-CBN.
"I also helped repack the goods and joined some of my Kapamilya friends in distributing those in Novaliches," he said.
The hip hop/R&B artist also uses time between gigs to hone his craft. Young JV is undergoing not only voice and dance lessons, but he is attending acting workshops as well.
"You'll never know when opportunity will knock. I want to be ready when it does," said he who is gearing up for a major concert next year with guest performers Billy Crawford and Jay R.
Given the chance, Young JV would like to collaborate with either Rachelle Ann Go or Sarah Geronimo in a way that's similar to Gary Valenciano's team-up with rock band Sponge Cola.
Young JV recently performed at the Private Secondary School Administrators Association of the Philippines 2009 Mr. PRISAAP event held in Iloilo City at the Centennial Resort Hotel. The artist himself won the MR. PRISAAP title in 2006.
He also performed at the AFP Educational Benefit System recognition night titled "Salute To Success," which had AFP Chief of Staff Gen. Victor S. Ibrado as guest of honor.
Young JV endorses apparel company Marc Ecko.

your fist, Bang your head, Feel the bass until you're

You're in my world now. Formation to attack, I look

Louder still, Power of decibels kill. Cannot breathe,
No more room, Feel the bass sub-woofer boom. Sweat

I started to like LISP when i first got the interest in AI programming, where i found my way all around programming languages used in AI programming -- one got my attention, LISP.
I've read and read all about LISP since then but never formally started coding and learning the language. Until i found it fitting to my taste to use Racket because it has an IDE, Dr Racket.
I did not go through so much coding in Racket, I simply made myself comfortable of the syntaxes of LISP programming and actually have with me Real Of Racket pdf file.
And then, i searched more of LISP, until i found Arc. This time i got so much attracted to its syntax so called to be shortened. And that amazed me.
So I started to want to install Arc today. BUT, unlike Racket it doesn't have an IDE. I'm only good in using Windows and not so much inclined in command prompts.
I find answers somehow that directs me to github, unfortunately i don't know how to use the files out there. What I ONLY know is instal .exe files and i'm okay byh myself, which is not the case this time. And there's so much of codings and command prompting.
Stil, i want to go through ... i don't know why but i like Arc so much even if it's too obscure to my level.
I wish someone here tell me how to actually program in arc. do i need an IDE to compile and run/test my codes? (which is my only grasp of programming). and can anyone tell me how to use the Arc/Nu ... i don't know how to install it in my Windows... i don't know linux or unix or mac.
If anyone hear me in this dark and cold realm of Arc, please head my calling....
I want to improve Arc when i finally have my best of knowledge in it. Everybody is discouraging me of Arc but i believe it's something extraordinary.
Thanks in advance.
Let's keep chatting offline. There might be issues I run into that you know how to deal with, or vice versa. Can you send me an email? My address is on my profile.
Edit 16 minutes later: I've gotten Arc running on Windows. Here are the instructions I followed:
0. Install Racket and Git like above.
1. Open Git Bash from the Windows menu and run this command:
git clone https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki
(current-directory (find-system-path 'home-dir))
(current-directory "anarki")
(load "boot.scm")
I'm sure there are other issues once I start running programs, but at least the core loaded without errors and I can now help fix other issues as we run into them.
tl: undefined;
cannot reference undefined identifier
C:\Program Files\Racket\collects\racket\private\misc.rkt:87:7
tl: undefien
> I've installed
> Running Windows 7 EE 32bit
In the case of these instructions, lnstead of (load "boot.scm"), please use (require "boot.scm") now.
I assume this happens when you type in the third command (tl)?
> (current-directory (find-system-path 'home-dir))
> (current-directory "anarki")
> (require "boot.scm")
> (tl)
Rtl: undefined;
cannot reference undefined identifier
C:\Program Files\Racket\collects\racket\private\misc.rkt:87:7
> stdin::107: read: unexpected `)'
C:\Program Files\Racket\collects\racket\private\misc.rkt:87:7
In my experience, the bug doesn't occur as long as the text I'm pasting has a newline at the end. Maybe you could try that. That is, instead of just selecting the text you want to copy, select a blank line after it too.
Alternatively, you could type everything by hand instead of pasting... but that sounds pretty painful. Hopefully you don't have to resort to that.
EDIT: I tried to reproduce that pasting issue with Racket 6.4 on Windows 10, and I don't get it anymore. You're using Racket 6.4 too, so are you using a particular version of Windows?
Welder is an arc IDE bundled with Rainbow (an arc implementation in Java that is complete enough to run News).
To download and build rainbow and open a REPL:
git clone git://github.com/conanite/rainbow.git
cd rainbow
ant # yes, twice. The second time uses rainbow to generate optimisations of itself
cd src/arc
java -server -jar rainbow.jar
A complete and downloadable tutorials on Arc language available at facebook.com/groups/epspost/
> contains installation files and tutorials with a step-by-step instructions for setup and installation for Windows users.
Complete downloading 4 Part Files and then use 7zip to extract and combine them in one single folder called "Arc Learning Compilation from EPSpost"
> these Arc adventures includes arc3.1 / racket // mzscheme
Another option is to email me your directions. I think I'd find them very useful.
I have also uploaded a screenshot of the process at facebook.com/EPSpost for newbie reference, too.

For us ladies who are mothers, myself included, we spend a considerable amount of time talking with our girlfriends about how alien our bodies feel after having children, frustrated knowing that our bodies could be functioning more optimally in exercise and in every day activities, enduring pain that may not always be chronic but certainly bothersome. I was lucky enough to have an amazing support team who were compassionate and extremely knowledgeable in the very specific challenges I faced after having my first child and I knew from that day on that it would almost be criminal not to open the doors to that same positive and empowering experience to all the other mothers out there. And as comments around the room such as "why was I not informed of this?", "why is this education and therapy not part of routine postpartum care?", "I now know that real changes can and have to be made", I was the one who was thankful - to all those who made this event possible - to all those ladies who came wanting to gain and absorb knowledge, to my own support team (personal and professional) and to all those professionals out there who work hard to provide more detailed and updated medical and perinatal exercise related research.
To further lift my spirits, when the dust had settled for the evening and I glanced over at the huge pile of clothing that had been so generously donated by those who attended and by those who were unable to attend but wanted to show support I just smiled - yes, I do have the task of counting exactly how many pieces of clothing we collected awaiting me (!) but to be able to deliver a workshop on a topic dear to my heart, have a wonderful gathering of women to share viewpoints and debate as well as provide material support for BBBS (Big Brothers Big Sisters) through it all... well, that feeling altogether was (and is) rather special.

Mobile-Friendlier Web Design is essential towards this generation of users, who fancy smartphones over personal computers. Thus, this article is made to recommend the latest tips for any website developer.
Define your content layout for cross-platform compatibility.
Are you thinking of creating a mobile-friendly design for your business website? Lay out your content in an aesthetic and logical manner, and consider the following:
- Avoid annoying popups, since these can negatively impact user experience.
- Your typefaces need to be legible.
- Navigation should be dynamic and fluid, just like hamburger icons.
- Include easy to press, big large buttons
- Lay out content in a fashionable way.
Focus user attention on call-to-action features.
Call-to-action buttons are one of the most crucial features that you can integrate in your business website or personal blog. Since CTAs focus on influencing a user to accomplish a particular action, they should be easily accessible. An efficient CTA can increase interactions and conversions, and should never be overlooked.
Keep brand continuity in mind.
Brand continuity is a best practice followed all design and marketing areas. At this day and age, every website element needs to be consistent, both in mobile and desktop. From logos and graphics to color schemes and other visuals, everything needs to be consistent on all devices.
Brand continuity is a strong trust signal that should be nourished as early as possible all throughout your marketing initiatives and web design.
Understand Usability
Usability is one of the most significant aspects of a good mobile website. Of course, you wouldn't want to visit a website you can't use easily.
A responsive website is not always the best answer.
Depending on the state of your current website, you may want to create a responsive template that automatically adapts to the users' device and browser resolutions. But sometimes, this is not really achievable, and you'll end up choosing with a mobile website instead.
Creating a separate mobile website also has its benefits. Whatever road you choose to take, you need to research on what approach best fits your business and marketing initiatives.
Understand UX and mobile web design trends.
Simple, minimalist website are gradually taking over the digital landscape. Web designers are trying to make the most out of every element, maximizing and highlighting empty space to capture attention. If you want to provide a better browsing experience for your visitors, explore this trend. Also, since mobile screen devices are very small, there is the need to segregate the details into a multi-step flow.
Understand the needs of your current users.
Understanding your target audience's needs is more than just utilizing the recent web design trends. You need to completely research the niche you're in. Have a glimpse at other mobile competitor websites.
In conclusion, mobile-friendlier web design is very expected in this current technology and social era. As a web designer, we need to hasten up our progress and discover more new skills.

Jeff Flake: 'I'll Take the Globalist Moniker, Thank You'
Arizona voters will have a chance to throw out the proud globalist Jeff Flake in 2018. He does NOT believe in America First. Rather, he is a George Soros/Hillary Clinton style globalist who doesn't represent the people of Arizona, but instead represents the globalist Elite. – Shorty Dawkins
This article comes from Breitbart.com
by Tony Lee
Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) proudly wants to be called a "globalist."
Flake, who is up for reelection in 2018 and is vulnerable to a primary challenge, reportedly "embraces" that label in his new book, which bashes President Donald Trump. It also reportedly argues that the "nationalist" and "populist" America-first policies that got Trump elected in a historic win for the ages and brought millions of new voters into the Republican Party do not represent the GOP's future.
"Seemingly overnight, the word globalist became a grave insult among people in my party who also call themselves 'conservative,'" he reportedly writes in his new book, according to the Arizona Republic. "… In this country, we are less than 5 percent of the world's population. We are 20 percent of the world's economic output. And if we don't trade, we don't grow. Given the alternatives, I'll take the globalist moniker, thank you."
While promoting his book to the media elites, Flake has blasted pro-Trump Republicans for being "xenophobic" and their "nativism." On CNN on Tuesday, he again criticized Republicans for embracing the "unfamiliar banner" of "populism" and combating illegal immigration. He also spoke about the purported "xenophobia" of Trump's voters.

Everything You Need to Know About Vampires
Some of you may make fun of the facts we are going to mention but bear in mind dear readers that these findings are based on personal efforts, studies and research. Maybe they passed by your side or even talked to you, or maybe they stood by your bed once and whispered in your ears while you are asleep…who knows! Sure there is. Vampires existed a very long time ago; there are proofs to their existence during the Babylon, the Indian and the Sumer civilization in addition to the Ancient Egypt. All these civilizations talked about creatures that hunted human to drink their blood. Besides these stories, scientists discover vampire tombs every once in a while.
Everyone knows that vampires suck … your blood!!!! Seriously though, do you know the history behind modern vampire lore? These creatures of the night have been lurking around for a very long time, although the princes and princesses of darkness have taken on different guises and mythologies throughout the ages. If the items on this list are old news to you, you might want to take a look in the mirror and check for a reflection Didn't work so well that time.
As October rolls on and the nights draw in, ghosts, ghouls and the otherwise undead lurk around every corner. What better way to prepare for the spooky month ahead than with a crash course in vampires…just in case. Luckily, our Curator of Firearms Jonathan Ferguson has a particular interest in the mythology of arms and armour as well as popular culture and the supernatural and is on hand to help us spot one. The belief in real vampires is of course far older. One of the first accounts of vampires is found in a Babylonian myth dating from 4, B.
This post is a break from that, based on the tens of questions I received and on the feedback, I decided the best thing would be to make a couple of lists with definite things about vampires, that I learned and know about. No fantasy involved and Hollywood-ism involved. They walk in the sunlight.

Vampires of Europe
All rights reserved. This year-old skeleton from Sozopol, Bulgaria , was found with its teeth removed and stabbed through the chest with an iron rod. Scholars suspect that townspeople did this to ward off vampires—a very real fear in Europe for hundreds of years. The traits of modern-day vampires are pretty well established. They can be warded off with garlic, or killed with a stake through the heart. Some, like Dracula, are aristocrats who live in castles. Scholars suspect that the modern conception of these Halloween monsters evolved from various traditional beliefs that were held throughout Europe.

text: I am working on an automated way of publishing map services to a Federated ArcGIS Server. The users of the Portal come from our SAML provider. In my scripts I want to achieve the map service publishing automation with use of arcpy. To publish an item I obviously need to connect to Portal in first place in my python script. Considering presence of SAML how can I create a connection to Portal with arcpy so that the process could be performed as a scheduled windows batch job? What account would you recommend to use for this process? Should I create a dedicated batch-job account in SAML or actually try to publish via some Porta build-in account, but then would that be possible having SAML? What pattern for this process would you recommend?
