One of the highlights of my year is the gathering of the Church Planting Leadership Fellowship (CPLF). Leadership from multiple denominations share wisdom, encouragement, and practice so that all can learn and all can be made better.
During this gathering on July 23-24, 2019, we will present the results of our latest Hispanic church planting research, how to reach Hispanics, Hispanic culture, planting Hispanic churches through a bivo/covo model, a restoration/community engagement approach toward planting, and what we can learn about the rapid church growth in Cuba. These are a few of the many topics that will be addressed at this CPLF gathering on Hispanic Planting.
If you're a church planting leader in your denomination or network, you should join us.
Now a bit about the CPLF. For the past few years, this fellowship has hosted a gathering of denomination and network church planting leaders from across North America to consider the process and practices of church planting.
This is a peer group, specifically focused on those who are leading church planting efforts in their denomination or network.
This group is unique; in fact, I'm pretty confident that it's the only one of its kind. It regularly features leaders who represent around 75% of all North American Evangelical church planting in a given year.
In the past, we have featured speakers like Tim Keller, Rick Warren, Linda Stanley, Neil Cole, Dhati Lewis, Leonce Crump, Derwin Gray, and many others. What makes this gathering so special, though, is not just the learning we get (though it's pretty spectacular), but the opportunity for peers to sit down and learn from each other.
The CPLF is a partnership between the Send Institute, LifeWay Research, and NewChurches.com.
I want to invite you to join us on July 23-24 in Wheaton where we'll focus on Hispanic Planting, and Nov 19-20 in Nashville where we'll focus on Capacity Building for Church Planters.
If you help lead church planting at a denomination, network, judicatory, state convention or other level, this is a gathering for you.
I believe so strongly in what we are doing through the CPLF that I am convinced that this is the foremost gathering of church planting leaders in the country—it's not for planters and it's not about how to plant a church. It's about leading church planting.
If you are involved in church planting, on the level of leading a denomination or network's church planting emphasis, we would love for you to consider becoming a part of the CPLF. Our team will gladly get an application to you so that you can become part of our learning community. If you are interested in joining, just fill out the application at newchurches.com/CPLF.
Ed Stetzer holds the Billy Graham Distinguished Chair of Church, Mission, and Evangelism at Wheaton College, serves as Dean of the School of Mission, Ministry, and Leadership at Wheaton College, is executive director of the Billy Graham Center, and publishes church leadership resources through Mission Group.

What gives a man justification to sing the blues? There have never been a staid set of credentials for such a pursuit, but if any one man had the proper pedigree custom plugged into his persona, it was John Lee Hooker.

From his first R & B hit, 1948's Boogie Chillun," a hypnotic one-chord ostinato, John Lee Hooker would forever be known as King Of The Boogie. Although he was accompanied in the studio by an occasional piano, harmonica or Eddie Kirkland's empathetic second guitar, John Lee Hooker's improvisatory style and lack of apparent structural sense marked him as a solo artist in the most literal sense (unlike Muddy Waters, another native of the Mississippi Delta).

Abstract: Background:Disease State Index and Disease State Fingerprint represent a novel tool which collates data information from different sources, helping the clinician in the diagnosis and follow-up of dementia diseases. It has been demonstrated that it is applicable in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Objective:We applied this novel tool to classify frontotemporal dementia (FTD) cases in comparison with controls, AD, and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) subjects. Methods:Thirty seven patients with FTD, 35 patients with AD, 26 control subjects, and 64 subjects with MCI were included in the study. The Disease State Index encompassed data from cognitive performance assessed by Mini-Mental State Examination, cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers, MRI volumetric and morphometric parameters as well as APOE genotype. Results:We applied the Disease State Index for comparisons at the group level. The data showed that FTD patients could be differentiated with a high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity from controls (0.84, 0.84, 0.83) and from MCI (0.79, 0.78, 0.80). However, the correct accuracy was lower in the FTD versus AD comparison (0.69, 0.70, 0.71). In addition, we demonstrated the use of Disease State Fingerprint by comparing one particular FTD case with control, AD, and MCI population data. Conclusion:The results suggest that the Disease State Fingerprint and the underlying Disease State Index are particularly useful in differentiating between normal status and disease in patients with dementia, but it may also help to distinguish between the two dementia diseases, FTD and AD.

T-shirts and swag bags for the "Runners" and "VIPs" can be picked up on Friday, June 14, from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Blessings in a Backpack headquarters at 4121 Shelbyville Road in the St. Matthews Pavilion next to Big Lots. Can't make it on Friday? No worries. Your t-shirt and swag bag will be waiting for you at the finish line on race day! (Note: We will ship the t-shirts and swag bags for the Virtual Participants at the end of June.)
On Saturday, pull on up in an easy parking space in either the Lincoln Elementary School or Plumbers Supply parking lots (our thanks to these fab folks for their permission) or parallel park on a nearby street.
Stroll down to the corner of Washington and Wenzel (in front of Naive and Pyro Gallery). At 10:30 a.m., we will begin stretching and carb loading together. (VIPs, you need to stretch too. It could be a strenuous tuk tuk ride.)
Then at 11 am., blam! we will be off, meandering down Washington Street to the finish line. It's going to be grand. And in the end, we shall party. Because we have earned it.
We will sell beer at the post-race party, so be sure to bring an ID and cash or card!
Festivities will be held rain or shine. If Mother Nature doesn't get her morning coffee and throws a fit, we'll move the shindig inside The Pointe at 1205 E. Washington.
Follow @bib.louisville on Instagram. On Saturday, June 15, at 11 a.m., we'll go LIVE in our story at the Blessings in a Backpack 0.5K! Follow along as racers carb-load with doughnuts at the starting line, hydrate with coffee and CupCakes at the halfway point, and wave to the VIP tuk tuk as it rolls on by at the finish line. As a Virtual Participant, you'll celebrate at the post-party knowing that you went the full distance without even breaking a sweat! Your t-shirt, medal, and swag bag, including the highly coveted oval 0.5K sticker for your car, will be shipped to you the week of June 24.
The Inaugural Blessings in a Backpack 0.5k will be held at 11 a.m. on June 15, 2019. We will start at Wenzel and Washington Streets in Butchertown. The finish line and post-race party will be at The Pointe, located at 1205 E. Washington St., Louisville, KY 40206.
This will be very fun, tongue-in-cheek event that will lampoon the typical 5K.
The Blessings in a Backpack 0.5K — that's not a typo, our "race" is, in fact, only 546 yards — will incorporate all the typical race elements but without any of the training or effort. Think a 0.5K Euro-style sticker for your car, a hydration station at the halfway point that serves Heine Brothers' Coffee and Hostess CupCakes, and a medical tent that may or may not be manned. At the finish line, celebrate with pizza from Butchertown Pizza Hall and dessert from Butchertown Grocery at a family friendly post-race party.
The 0.5K is created for folks who are NOT ready to go the extra mile. In fact, they aren't even willing to go a mile at all, and actually barely even a quarter mile... but they are willing to have fun and poke fun at themselves, while raising money to help Blessings in a Backpack feed hungry kids in Louisville on the weekends!
(The starting line opens at 10:30 a.m.; race begins at 11 a.m. Post-party will close at 1 p.m.)
(six people per team)
Grab your besties, work wife, and wicked cool boss for a day (okay, it's more like 10 minutes) of glory, celebration, and comradery to raise money for Blessings in a Backpack! Everyone will take home a Blessings in a Backpack 0.5K swag bag and join in the post-race party. This is your chance to show the world that, even in the shortest of distances, teamwork makes the dream work! Corporate Teams will receive:
Can't make it to the "race?" It's okay... you can participate from the comfort of your couch! Virtual Participants will get a t-shirt, oval sticker, and medal just like everyone else so you can brag that you are a finisher of the 0.5K and no one will know any different. Plus, we'll send you a link to our Instagram page so you can watch the race live in our story.
Note: the registration fee includes the cost of shipping, and the swag will be shipped out in late June.
All the fun stuff aside, we are serious about the end result — to support Blessings in a Backpack's Louisville programs. The money raised at this event will help send local kids home with backpacks full of food during the 2019/20 school year. And we'd really like your help! As a sponsor, your business will be associated with what we believe will be the funnest, coolest, and craziest event of the year. Levels start at $1,000 and include logo on marketing materials and swag, race entries, volunteer opportunities, and more!

Joffrey's Coffee Branding
Joffrey's is a small craft tampa coffee company. They offer almost over 100 types of coffees and teas. When they became the coffee provider for Disney they thought it was time for a brand refresh. We decided for go for a light hearted, whimsical, and colorful approach with the brand. I created the package designs and the label templates, then i started looking for some tallented illustrators to create the characters and personalities of every single label to represent the flavor profile. In this process I was able to work with some of my favorite artist and some of the best illustrators in the world. They put a ton of work into the characters and I feel we made some great work and some great friendships out of it.

Great, cool-looking jacket; makes me look good :D
It's easy to get on and off; the collar takes a bit of practice, and has many variations to try out. I like the magnetic side pocket closures (quiet, unobtrusive). The sizing recommended was ideal and the longish sleeves are a nice touch - no weird shortness, it just adds to the look. The material has a slight (very slight) tendency to bunch or not lay flat because it's more formfitting and not hanging free, but you can straighten it occasionally. The trim cut is very stylish. I like the inside pocket as well and that there is a special spot to tuck the badge inside.
Very good fit and good quality
this section 31 jacket is awesome. The black color makes it inconspicuous and not too nerdy.
The new jacket looks great, fits perfect and is excellent quality, very impressive and stylish. Shipping was also quite fast, thank you!

updates SSL certificate chain to use a directory of certificates
DescriptionNode has a set of trusted certificates compiled into it that is uses during SSL/HTTPS negotiations. The list of certificates can be replaced with user-specified certificates during the usage of the https module, but only for that particular https instance. Sometimes, one need to use libraries that make the HTTPS calls deep within, and cannot modify the code. This module is designed to monkey patch the built-in crypto module and allow you to specify a directory of existing certificates that apply to all HTTPS connections that are made using the underlying crypto module.

My Marathon Journey
by Samantha Lee
Editor's note: Sam is another one of our awesome employees at The Sneaker Store. We asked her to share her story of becoming a marathoner because it's one that so many of us can relate to. I've heard many people say that "Sam makes it look so easy," and that's exactly how you know she's worked her tail off for everything she's earned! Well done Sam, and thanks for sharing your inspiring story with us.
As someone who has always been enchanted by running, it was a surprise to many that a marathon was not on my radar. I loved to run but run 26.2 miles for fun? Who would want to do that? Better yet, who would PAY to do that!? My usual 5ks, 10ks, and half marathons were okay with me. You could still get that sense of accomplishment, rush of race day adrenaline, AND you didn't have to dedicate 20 weeks to get it.
It was a few years after I had finished running competitively in college that my point of view changed. At that point I had become substantially less motivated to run, barely picking up my run sneaks, especially in the winter months. But while I was becoming less motivated, I began to see more and more of my past teammates not only running marathons in their spare time, but running them well! My younger brother, too, was reaching the double digits for marathons completed and I began to think to myself, if they can run marathons, why can't I? And just like that, my marathon journey started.
So on impulse I signed up for my first marathon. And then I stared at the confirmation page on my computer screen and wondered what the heck did I just do!? Now I actually had to train for the thing. And so I did.
I did some research online and created a makeshift training plan and began to increase my mileage each week. With a goal to solely survive the race, my efforts were minimal. I was too quick to skip runs when a better plan was offered to me or if the summer heat was too aggressive for my taste. But I trained to what I thought, at the time, was the best of my ability. And then I ran my first marathon and reached my simple goal - I survived. It was one of the hardest things I had ever done. I could barely walk once I passed the finish line. I was covered in blisters. But I survived.
And my first thought when I finished? I want to do that again. And so I did.
After reaching my goal of merely surviving, the competitor in be began to show. Not only did I want to run another marathon, I wanted to run it fast. And then with much more confidence in me than I had in myself, Josh at The Sneaker Store implanted the idea in my head of qualifying for Boston. "Why not?" And so with an agreement to coach me through it, my marathon journey continued.
Josh, who took on the role of my new coach, created a plan for me and this time I decided to be more disciplined. I was now more apt to deny plans that were offered to me when I had yet to get my run in for the day. I woke up early on the weekends, early enough to beat the summer heat (sometimes!), in order to get my long runs in. I realized the value of having running buddies to get you through those three-hour training runs. I realized how much you can train yourself to go farther and farther on your feet.
With the goal of qualifying for Boston, I ran my second marathon. As I ran the race, keeping my pace for my goal time, I felt confident. And then as any marathon runner can relate to, my confidence got harder and harder to hold on to as I reached mile 18, then 19… by 20, things were taking a turn for the worse. But I held on. And then things REALLY took a turn for the worse when right before the mile 26 marker I found myself blacking out, toppled over, being taken to the sidelines of the race. Once I began to come through, my first reaction was pure anger. I didn't train all those months to leave the race with a quarter of a mile to go! But unfortunately a Boston qualifying time was not in the cards for me that race.
So after about twenty minutes of being attended to, I picked myself up, and walked the last quarter mile to the finish line. With no Boston qualifying time and no P.R. to bring home, I was defeated. But want to know what my first thought was when I crossed the finish line? I want to do that again. And so I did.
With the help of my coach, another plan was created and I had a new goal in sight: run a qualifying Boston time at the New Jersey Marathon. Oh, and not pass out.
With a new goal in sight and a more rigorous training plan, my marathon journey continued. This time there was no summer heat but I had to face an even bigger personal fear – training in the winter! With a hatred of the cold, I trained myself to be even more disciplined and I ventured out for each run. As I became a stronger runner with each week, I also realized winter running wasn't so bad and could even be fun (who knew!). I continued to utilize my running friends even more, appreciating their company during long runs and their understanding of the sport. I continued to complete every workout on my plan, refusing to skip a scheduled day or to modify a workout to make it easier. I sacrificed sleeping in on the weekends so that I could wake up early to run and sacrificed my Sunday afternoons to being couch bound after an exhausting three-hour long run. After a while it becomes your norm – you're now a marathon runner.
Then race day came and boy was I nervous! I tried not to question myself, though. I was going to reach my goal. And so I did.
I ran my race and my hard work paid off. I didn't feel the same agony that I did during the previous race. Although it was hard (it's still 26.2 miles, after all!), my training had transformed me into a stronger runner and I was able to keep my pace with more ease. And then with four miles to go, I was able to quicken the pace and finish with a faster pace than when I started. The best feeling was knowing, as I ran, that I was going to do it.
I'm sure I was smiling from ear to ear when I passed the finish line. I had just run a 33-minute P.R. and I had secured a Boston qualifying time. I was going to run the Boston Marathon next year. I was ecstatic! And you guessed it, one of my initial thoughts was of course, I want to do that again.
Next stop, Boston
Sam after a 33-minute PR at the New Jersey Marathon
So who knew that the runner that was NEVER going to run a marathon would start this marathon journey and be so captivated by the race. It was hard, harder than anything I had done before, but I loved it.
And it taught me valuable lessons. My marathon journey taught me that sometimes the winter can actually beat the summer. That water and gels will be a life saver. That compression socks can be a runner's best friend after a hard run. That your best work can be done before the sun comes up. That you should surround yourself with people that want to help you reach your goals. That you need to trust the plan and put in the work. That the pain is only temporary and will make the reward so much better. That you should set your goals high and do everything you can to reach them. And most importantly, if you fail, use it as motivation and try again.
So whether you're thinking about running a marathon, or maybe your first 5k, just do it. Say to yourself that you can and do it. Because then you will.

SZA finally drops visual to Love Galore featuring Travis Scott
SZA (and TDE) finally gave fans what they've been practically begging for, which is some type of acknowledgement that SZA's next album, CTRL will be coming out! No, there hasn't been an announcement pertaining to the upcoming album per say...BUT! We do finally have a visual to the almost 5 month old single, Love Galore featuring Travis Scott.
The video is directed by Nabil (who is also responsible for Kendrick's video for DNA.) and shows a seductive SZA entrancing Travis Scott while she secretly orchestrates his demise.
The song is currently available on Soundcloud, Spotify and Apple Music and hopefully we will get a date for SZA's first official album soon! ESPECIALLY since it was announced today that she is now signed to RCA's record label!
It's definitely been a good day for SZA! Check out the video for Love Galore below:

The Royal Spies
Magnus Grey: The Leader of the Royal Spies, reports directly to HRM.
Sarah Paumera: Second in Command
Magnus Grey: Hello all.
Sarah Paumera: *smiles at everyone*
Magnus Grey: Any news to report?
*No one had anything to report*
Magnus Grey: Tonight, I'm sending you to look into a report from Moonglow.
Vixen: ooo *listens*
Magnus Grey: There have been several strange reports this past week. Strange magical effects, disappearing mages, and people having odd dreams.
Malag aste: Other than the usual strange pumpkins and weird graveyard beings?
Duncan: Ain't that normal for Moonglow? 8chuckles*
Ronan: an alchemist?
Magnus Grey: Yes, Malag, beyond the graveyard issues. Tonight, there are reports of daemons in one part of the island. Biscuit Kreuger: uh oh
Magnus Grey: When mages from the Lycaeum were sent to investigate, they were forced to flee because they said that magic no longer worked in that area.
Destinie Moon: Oh we have to take care of this right away I love Moonglow
Kittie: *raises a brow*
Vixen: what!?
Ronan: the other dimension?
Malag aste: Hum... Mages probably started it.
maints magic: breaks out bow ut oh
Kittie: HUH?!
Magnus Grey: I would like you to investigate this disruption and protect the people of Moonglow.
Deavous: it still smells like a sewer in here *laughs*
Magnus Grey: You are to follow any leads you find.
Biscuit Kreuger: protect Kittie's House!
Destinie Moon: They are breaking your city Kittie
Magnus Grey: Your magic may not work on parts of the island.
Kittie: *nods* they are.. *growls*
Watcher: rut roh
Destinie Moon: Vandals!!
maints magic: ummm
Duncan: Any headless horsemen?
*Duncan where do you keep that crystal ball?*
Vixen: some sort of damper field??
Magnus Grey: If you are a mage or other arcane user, I suggest a tactical retreat
Kris: so cant even heal that's not good
Magnus Grey: I haven't heard about any particulars, headless or otherwise. Hopefully, you can get to the bottom of this. Good luck.
*A gate was made, on a road on Moonglow isle. The chief's luck with the gate was good as we were not far from the location we had been sent to investigate*
*As we moved forward we saw what we been sent to deal with, At first all was well, as we moved further up mages prepared to cast, tamers went to command their pets to attack, all were muted, none could say a single word. Tamers had to use hand signals to command pets to attack, while the mages withdrew, archers and warriors charged*
Duncan: *yelling from just outside the zone* It's narrow....Cast or command from just outside
*As the last Daemon fell, several went scouting in the two houses here, one of the house it was discovery that it was the location of the summoning. Evidence would later show that it had been a young mage casting the spell*
Kittie: *waves everyone over*
Ronan: how do we get to ethereal void lycaeum?
Destinie Moon: Kittie
Kittie: Yes?
Door Bat: Gilforn's Voice: "You have reached my home. I can't come to the door right now." "If you wish to leave a message, please go ahead." "The Seers of the Moonstone can be found in the Ethereal Void Lycaeum." "If for some reason you don't have the address, um...ask nicely?"
Ronan: Dr. Owl! *outside the field*
Dr. Owl: *motions you to follow*
Duncan: *Yelling really loud* Everyone! Over here with Doctor Owl! W e can talk over here!
Dr. Owl: *tests magic* It works here.
Kittie: Who was summoning these daemons?!
Dr. Owl: I was picking up a change of clothing for Gilforn.
Kittie: And why didn't anyone TELL me?!
Destinie Moon: Magic worked there, it was the ability to talk to our pets that was not able to be done
Dr. Owl: Daemons? Not us. But we aren't the only mages in Moonglow.
Kittie: *points to the house across from Gilforns*
Dr. Owl: Gilforn and bathing are not always friends. Brilliant, but forgetful.
Kittie: In the house across from Gilforns.. Someone was summoning them..
Dr. Owl: I don't know Gilforn's neighbors.
Vixen: There is blood and a body there
Dr. Owl: I will take a look.
Kittie: *nods*
Dr. Owl: But magic is strange these days.
Kittie: *nods*
Destinie Moon: well specially when one is dabling in things they shouldn't
Kittie: Indeed..
Dr. Owl: My order has noticed times where our magic fails for no reason.
Kittie: Whomever summoned them.. must be stopped..
Duncan: Am I remembering' it right that there was something bad in that house a few weeks ago too? or'm I getting confused again?
Kittie: We can't have magic acting so finicky.. Especially here..
Dr. Owl: Moonglow mages are sometimes a fickle lot, Duncan.
maints magic: aye
Dr. Owl: We get into trouble.
Duncan: Think so eh?
Dr. Owl: Maybe I should let you talk to other members of my order while I check the house.
Kittie: *nods* Please.. I would be interested to speak to them..
Dr. Owl: *casts a gate* *goes to check the house*
*Next Stop Ethereal Void Lycaeum*
Duncan: "Are these fires new?'
You see: Soulbound Horror *Yep you guess it, another battle only this time we were not hampered with the inability to speak*
Fyrgen: The rose will lose its thorn to madness. The ranger has already fallen. The bedlam born on the eventide rises. The nibbling spirits consume your heart. I can hear the Voice too clearly now. No dreams are safe...
Vixen: who are they where are they
Bridgette: I think the ranger is at the well of souls not dead
Vixen: who are they where are they
Duncan: "How did the ranger fall?'
Biscuit Kreuger: Voice of Who?
Biscuit Kreuger: Vixen run your hand through him is it another projection?
You see: Dr. Owl
Kittie: Dr Owl..
Ronan: Dr. Owl!
Dr. Owl: My friend, are you well?
Duncan: Well's the least thing he is, Owl.
Dr. Owl: How long has he been like this?
Kittie: I don't think your friend is..
Biscuit Kreuger: his needle is skipping
Dr. Owl: Fyrgen is a dream-walker, a seer.
Duncan: The Time Lord said similar words to us not too long ago.
Vixen: he is foreseeing?
You see: Bandit the Marvelous
Dr. Owl: Yes, I believe he is seeing something.
You see: Bandit the Marvelous
Duncan: But it sounds like things'r happening way quicker than we thought.
Kittie: I see.. are they foreseeing the same as the time lord?
Vixen: is there a way to know?
Destinie Moon: When did Shamino fall?
Biscuit Kreuger: the time lord was an image
Dr. Owl: This place feels strange...
Biscuit Kreuger: is this one too?
Kittie: *frowns and looks around*
Duncan: "Could be..."
Dr. Owl: Can you describe it for this blind man? What has changed?
Duncan: Fires and undead monstrosities.
Vixen: I see ghost flames there and there and here and there
Dr. Owl: Fires?
Vixen: yes white flames
Dr. Owl: Fires and undead?
Kittie: *nods*
Dr. Owl: Gilforn was tracking eight spirit migrations. It seems our work was not unnoticed.
Vixen: they may all be here'
Kittie: *frowns*
Dr. Owl: I looked into the mage who summoned the daemons...
Destinie Moon: Have they been tracking you in return and hunting you to stop us
Vixen: and?
Dr. Owl: A young man tried a new spell...
Kittie: And?
Vixen: is he well??
Dr. Owl: But then magic broke...
Kittie: *sighs*
maints magic: many times it seems
Dr. Owl: He is dead before his time.
Vixen: *sad*
Dr. Owl: Daemons are hard to control with binding circles. And when the mana of the circle snaps...
Duncan: Magic broke...What broke it.
Dr. Owl: Something is affecting magic all over Sosaria.
Glycerine: how does it break
Kittie: So.. how can we stop this and make the island safe for it's residents again?
Dr. Owl: It is hard to predict, but the effect is growing.
Vixen: any way y to fine out what it is?
maints magic: "sighs"
Destinie Moon: Not a what, a they, I think we know who broke the magic.
Dr. Owl: Possibly there is a way to find the source.
Kittie: Well, how can we stop it?
Destinie Moon: who has been using it in un natural ways
Kittie: How
Destinie Moon: even for necromancy
maints magic: "listens"
Dr. Owl: But with my mages weakened or broken like Fyrgen here, it is difficult.
Vixen: *waits*
Dr. Owl: Fyrgen won't be the first broken seer.
Kittie: I will give all that I have to make the island safe again!
maints magic: mages are in abundance in this group
Kittie: I will give all that I have to make the island safe again!
Dr. Owl: If it gets worse, all mages may suffer.
Destinie Moon: Can we isolate him and put him in a status like area to freeze him from any further damage?
Dr. Owl: I have an idea for a potion.
Vixen: Moonglow is also mine home. I also will help
Dr. Owl: With a base of Caddellite.
Castaholic: I don't like this no magic talk
Kittie: *nods* Whatever you need, consider it done.
Kedias: Khaldun?
Dr. Owl: If I send you my notes, could you help me collect some possible ingredients?
Kittie: I won't let Moonglow fall to this.. Not now.. not ever.
Martyna Z'muir: You want to feed him a rare metal?
Vixen: *nods*
Dr. Owl: If I send you my notes, could you help me collect some possible ingredients?
Kittie: Of course.
Destinie Moon: Yes
Dr. Owl: The metal will need to be treated correctly, Martyna. Otherwise, you are correct that it is poison. I will send you my notes later. Sadly, I am at a loss for what you do next.
Kittie: I see..
Fyrgen: *looks up* The Rider stalks Lady Tory on the Isle of Deeds.
Destinie Moon: Lady Tory
Dr. Owl: Oh no...
Destinie Moon: we need to go NOW
Dr. Owl: You must hurry...
Vixen: we need to go there now
maints magic: that may be what we need to "go to" now
*Another gate, this time we were on Serpent's Hold*
*(I am sorry but I failed to get any snaps, I will say it was a quick, brutal battle with the forces of Evil, and the Headless rider made a appearance)*
Lady Tory: No... It must happen like this...
Destinie Moon: Why
Kittie: Wh-What? What do you mean?!
Destinie Moon: You must not have any harm come to you
Kittie: You surely don't mean Moonglow must suffer?!?!
Lady Tory: I know what will happen if I resist.
Kittie: W-What?? Lady Tory..
Lady Tory: My son... My son...
Kittie: I would give my LIFE for Moonglow
Lady Tory: I must protect him...
Destinie Moon: where is your baby. Where is your son
Vixen: where is he was he taken who took him
Lady Tory: No...he is with his grandmother for now...
Kittie: Tell us where he is.. we will bring him back.. safely.
Destinie Moon: where are they so we can protect them
Lady Tory: If I flee, I put him in danger...
Kittie: We're not asking you to flee..
Destinie Moon: you won't flee but you don't need to die
*(I wanted to ask "flee from whom?", but I was really busy trying to keep the dragon up, I found out later the whom*)
You see: Headless Rider
Kittie: Lady Tory..
Duncan: LOOK OUT!!!!
Lady Tory: *whispers* He is a pawn on the board.
Kittie: The headless rider?!
Destinie Moon: You are NOT going with him
Kittie: A pawn?
Vixen: chess board?
Lady Tory: The Eventide is mortal.
Kittie: Okay.. But what of Moonglow?
Lady Tory: After I'm gone, follow the trail.
Duncan: *Yelling* "If it's mortal we can kill it!'
Destinie Moon: You are not going
Lady Tory: Moonglow is a square on the board.
Kittie: What?!
Kedias: If it bleeds? Eh...?
Destinie Moon: your a game piece? he is a pawn
Duncan: "Aye, if it bleeds." *winks*
Spoonman: shall we play a game?
Vixen: when she is gone follow the trail what trail??
Kittie: *nods* but she's also saying that Moonglow is only a square on the board.. I don't let it become a part of this wicked game.
Lady Tory: Names on pumpkins... ***
Vixen: when she is gone follow the trail what trail??
Lady Tory: Stories in towns... A Vesper Moon rises..***

QTRH.TO - Quarterhill
Post by:
December 29, 2018, 10:38:07 AM
Quarterhill Ive been accumulating this over past few weeks as a tax loss buying opportunity. Quarterhill's valuation at the current price level is well supported by cash and positions in 2 private tech companies with a division that is received essentially for free but has the potential to result in cash flows to the Company that are multiples of the current share price.
Previously Company was called Wi-Lan but that is now just the name of its patent subsidiary - QTRH is another SOTP story. An orphaned tech/patent troll company that has become a poorly understood IOT conglomerate with the purchase of Intl Road Dynamics and Viziya last year.
Patent business brings in lumpy cash payments with latest court victory against Apple for $145 million US that the market has discounted to $0.
Quarterly reporting over the last year has in general disappointed the Street due to much lower revenues from patent litigation.
Pays a quarterly dividend of $0.0125.
New CEO brought in last year to carry out the roll up of IOT businesses. Doug Parker was previously SVP, Corporate Development at Open Text, leading a corporate development team of >20 professionals. Collectively, the Quarterhill deal team has completed >100 transactions cumulatively valued at >$5 B.
Shares currently trade at $1.26 Cdn (QTRH TSX) with a market cap of $150mm with 119mm shares O/S. The Companys share price has hit an all time low in the past week and was as high as $2.44 earlier in 2018.
Assets .
Cash $0.69/share
IRD position $0.70/share valued at cost
Viziya position $0.45 valued at cost
Total cash & IOT investments $1.84 Cdn per share
At current price of $1.26 the market is valuing the Wi-Lan subsidiary at a negative value. Even assuming IRD & Viziya are only worth half of what they were purchased for still ascribes a value of $1.26 per QTRH share and nothing for Wi-Lan.
Between 2010 and 2015 Wi-Lan spent a total of $162mm US acquiring patents. Major components of its patent portfolio include IP related wireless tech (LTE, 3G, 4G) network access, semiconductors, display technology & content delivery. Has recently switched to partnering with IP owners instead of just outright patent acquisitions. Management estimates that its current portfolio, as well as IP managed on behalf of third parties, has the potential to yield $750mm US over time.
Things I dont like about QTRH
Skinny management & board ownership
Communication to shareholders is fairly poor with patent settlements cloaked in secrecy
Annual cost to run the business (public co & Wi-Lan) is high
Favourite of Benj Gallandar of Contra the Heard with his purchases much higher in price
CIBC, Cormark & Paradigm cover it

Stockhouse chatter has judge passing decision upholding all of Wi-Lans claims but retrial for settlement damages if they dont come to their own settlement on Jan 14th
Apple found GUILTY on infringing Wilan patents
Even the retrial may be avoided. The court has asked Apple and Wilan to meet again and try and work an amount out before proceeding with the re-triall:
orders the parties to appear for a settlement conference before Judge Major on January 14, 2019, at 10:30 a.m.
Quarterhill's WiLAN awarded $145.1M against Apple
2018-08-01 20:25 ET - News Release
WiLAN Inc., a Quarterhill Inc. company, has provided an update on continuing litigation.
In a trial verdict rendered on Aug. 1, 2018, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, a jury awarded WiLAN $145.1-million in damages against Apple Inc. for infringement of WiLAN's U.S. patent No. 8,457,145 and 8,537,757.
About Quarterhill Inc.
Quarterhill is focused on the disciplined acquisition, management and growth of companies in dedicated technology areas, including: vertical market software and solutions, intelligent industrial systems, and innovation and licensing. Quarterhill's emphasis is on seeking out acquisition opportunities at reasonable valuations that provide a foundation for recurring revenues, predictable cash flows and margins, profitable growth, intimate customer relationships, and dedicated management teams.

Fairfax bought 800,000 shares of this in the 4th quarter or 0.7% of outstanding:
I don't know with reporting requirements if it is the entire position or just what was bought on U.S. trading side?
It is trading at about half of book value. Hard to say what will come out exactly from Apple litigation but, it is certainly not $0.

Posted the Fairfax news 2 seconds ahead of you man! LOL!
By the way, Benj is back on BNN at lunch today and will surely be asked by some viewer about it and that is unless he makes it a top pick again. He has good following so it has a big impact on these small caps.

A Walk From South Kensington to Buckingham Palace
Walking a city is the best way to experience a city. Below you will find a great walk that takes you from South Kensington to Chelsea, Westminster, and back to South Kensington. I stayed at The Ampersand Hotel which is an adorable boutique hotel (more about that later), which I recommend if you're looking to stay in South Kensington.
From South Kensington, I walked towards Kensington Palace and spent time enjoying the garden specially designed with white flowers in memory of the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana's death.
Right now there is an exhibit with some of Princess Diana's iconic looks on display. It was surreal to see some of her dresses in real life -- like her wedding dress and the one she wore while dancing with John Travolta. It's a small exhibit and the line moved quickly.
From Kensington Palace, I made my way towards Made In Italy in Chelsea (on King's Road) after reading some good reviews. I stopped here for pizza and a glass of wine for lunch. I was looking for something casual and quick but if you're looking for something a bit more upscale then The Ivy is right down the street and a perfect lunch spot to stop on the way to the next destination.
After lunch, I headed to the Chelsea Physic Garden. Google maps took me through residential streets which made for a really peaceful walk. London architecture never gets old (especially if you're an American). The garden hours are limited so make sure you check their hours before you go. The Chelsea Physic Garden is London's oldest botanical garden and houses over "5,000 different medicinal, herbal, edible, and useful plants."
After this, I walked through Chelsea passing by the National Army Museum and the Royal Hospital. On my walk, I saw a few Chelsea Pensioners in their red coats, and I'm sure you will too.
Next stop? Peggy Porschen for dessert. You might recognize this place and their iconic entrance from Instagram.
I opted for a latte and a slice of Strawberry & Champagne cake. It was really busy and they do not have a lot of seating so I got mine to go and headed to Buckingham Palace to eat my cake on the steps of the Victoria Memorial.
Once I finished taking in the people watching at Buckingham Palace, I was ready to head back to my hotel to rest before dinner. I walked along Constitution Hill, took in the Wellington Arch, and continued along Knightsbridge/Brompton Road passing Harvey Nichols and Harrods until I got back to The Ampersand Hotel.
I know it seems like this adventure includes a lot of eating but I assure you the walking permits it! Once I rested up and changed, I took advantage of my complimentary glass of champagne from Expedia for booking a +VIP hotel in the hotel's bar, Apero.

Dr. Sinha M. A. Sayeed
It was a class of third year (Honours) in political science. Professor Dr. Ferdous Hossain, a celebrated political scientist, entered timely in a very befitting mood and poise and without taking a pause said, "today I will dwell upon an interesting but sombre topic named secularism. Therefore, be attentive to and careful of what I utter and pass to you all since for a student there need under all the circumstances four things to bear in mind that is to say (a) power of attention (b) power of understanding (c) power of digestion and (d) power of delivery as and when required."
Students started feeling excited with an unusual inquisitive bent of mind as if they were going to discover/invent something new by the grace of their respectable professor.
Professor Hossain went on saying "In fact, secularism denotes a clear separation between religion and functions of a government in a state. It is by and large characterized as follows:
"Both state and religion(s) have their respective areas of concern. One deals with the matters related to state while other(s) concentrates on the inner overhauling and purification of mind or both body and mind of an individual in accordance with certain set of principles, rules and regulations, which originate from the religion in question. Such overhauling and purification have their necessary abode in various rate and speed in groups, societies, gilds and so on ranging from micro to macro levels.
"In political terms, secularism is a movement towards the separation of religion and government (often termed the separation of church and state). This can refer to reducing ties between a government and a state religion, replacing laws based on scripture (such as the Bible, Torah and Sharia law) with civil laws, and eliminating discrimination on the basis of religion. This is said to add to democracy by protecting the rights of religious minorities.
"Talks and treatises on secularism began from the very days of the rise and dominance of the churches over the state in Europe. But to coin a befitting word like 'secularism' came first from the British writer George Jacob Holyoake in 1851 when he wrote the book The Origin and Nature of Secularism' in 1851.
"Religion(s) aims at the well-being and salvation markedly of an individual in the next world but functions of a state are decided taking note from realities within and around a state in the activist world as mostly opposed to the next world;
"If one is ever swayed by the other then its smooth functioning gets jolted and confounded breeding excesses and irritations as a whole;
"Here two theories are important, which relate to Christianity in Europe. One is 'king is the march of God on earth' and the other is 'king must be subservient to the will of God through the institutions of religion, called 'Church headed by the chief priest There were lot of debates, tussles, intrigues and fights between these two forces, which lasted more than a thousand years in Europe for which middle age has been earmarked by Dunning, a great political thinker, as 'un-political i.e. barren politically;
"The spirit of secularism began to dawn in the fifteenth century and later it was Machiavelli who made the issue settled politically and conceptually in a scientific manner in his book 'The Prince' and other writings and thus became the father of political science after a long gap of Plato and Aristotle;
"Secularism was more pointedly explained in the context of political revolution and development in France where its root was the word 'Laïcité' meaning 'state shall neither foster, nurse and encourage any religion nor obstruct others to follow it privately or otherwise( but, today France is going away gradually from such water-tight separation); and
"Today it implies that the government in a state shall neither nurse and encourage it nor use it for its own purposes to retain in power. It further adds that even no political party should use religion just to get voted to power. This explanation is widely acceptable, accommodative and responsive on all accounts.
Therefore, in plain words secularism draws a line of separation between a government in a state and religion(s) therein making it sure that state belongs to all believers and disbelievers of various folds and camps in a state but religion/religions in a state belong to many folds of believers merely.
"That's all for the time being and you may put forward your questions, if any," said the professor.
'Sir, is Bangladesh a secular state? asked a student sitting on the last bench in the class.
"Yes, constitutionally it is but factually it is not so seeing that religion 'Islam 'has been declared as the state religion by the Constitution (Eight Amendment) Act of 1989 during HM Ershad regime and, ironically enough, it was further strengthened by the Constitution(Fifteenth Amendment) Act of 2011 during the period of the ongoing democratic rule of Sheikh Hasina government. More noticeable is that there is a ministry dealing with the affairs of religions in the Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh. In sequence of all these, Khatib of Baitul Mokkaram, the principal mosque in the country, is appointed by the government. From these standpoints, secularism and religion together mingled at a point of squaring off, which one may logically call a compromise in practice," came the answer.
'Then what is it?' readily posed another student.
"Interestingly enough, Bangladesh is known in the world as a 'moderate Muslim state. More thrilling is that all our governments, starting from HM Ershad to Begum Khaleda Zia to Sheikh Hasina, feel proud of being so," replied the professor serenely.
'Is it not a great contradiction after the spirit of secularism?' now a girl student questioned in the fullest mood of wonder and protest.
"Dear students, Let me repeat honestly that it is rather a kind of reconciliation and harmonization between religion and politics after the model of politics in Bangladesh. That's why I think Bangladesh is a secular and moderate Muslim country. Hence, we should be proud of creating a model in the domain of politics and political science even in the face of diverse nature and categories of crises hunting us internally and externally."
He said to recall the recent saying of Sheikh Hasina, sitting prime minister of Bangladesh, who, having been faced with the rise and 13-point demands of Hafazat-e-Islam, the largest organization of Islamic pundits (Alems), grown-up and growing, in line with Quran and Sunnah, in a bid to pacify the majority people in the country belonging to Islam, assured right away that 'In future Bangladesh shall be run in accordance with Madina Charter'. It was, in fact, made by Prophet Hazrat Mohammad, peace be upon him, in 620-622 AD through threadbare discussions with the contemporary warring sects and communities in Madina where the main theme was belief in the oneness of Allah and nothing should go against this very spirit, where remains no possibility for a lady/female either to become the Head of Government/State or even to become the leader of a group. body/organization comprising of male and female. This must be termed as a kind of bare and shameless use of religion to gain politically.
Interesting enough, rise and wave of religion in a rejuvenated mood and mode in Europe has started plaguing leaders and statesmen at large. In United Kingdom it is laid down in documents that' the Head of kingdom shall be a protestant by faith at the same time being the ex-officio Head of the Church of England. More interesting is that the necessity of religion has desperately further been echoed in the voice of David Cameron, sitting Prime Minister of UK, on 16 December 2011. Britain is a Christian nation and should not be afraid of standing up for Christian values to help counter the country's "moral collapse", Prime Minister David Cameron said Friday.
In a rare foray into religion by a British premier, Cameron said "live and let live" had too often become "do what you please" in Britain. The "passive tolerance" of immoral behaviour had helped fuel the August riots, excess in the banking industry and home-grown Islamist terror, he said.
"We are a Christian country. And we should not be afraid to say so," Cameron said at an event in Oxford to mark the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible.
"The Bible has helped to give Britain a set of values and morals which make Britain what it is today. Values and morals we should actively stand up and defend. The alternative of moral neutrality should not be an option."
Cameron described himself as a committed but only "vaguely practicing" member of the Church of England, who was "full of doubts" about big theological issues.
"We've got to stand up for our values if we are to confront the slow-motion moral collapse that has taken place in parts of our country these past few generations," he said.
"Moral neutrality or passive tolerance just isn't going to cut it anymore."
Cameron said that along with the works of William Shakespeare, the King James Bible was a high point of the English language. "The Bible has helped to shape the values which define our country," he said.
"Responsibility, hard work, charity, compassion, humility, self-sacrifice, love, pride in working for the common good and honouring the social obligations we have to one another, to our families and our communities — these are the values we treasure. Yes, they are Christian values. And we should not be afraid to acknowledge that. But they are also values that speak to us all — to people of every faith and none. And I believe we should all stand up and defend them."
All these testify on record that religion in its many manifestations is inherently tied to life, society, politics and state but the real teachings and lessons are not properly reflected in life, society, politics and state. Why the half-done initiative and performance? Isn't it true that a half truth is more dangerous and negative than a lie?'
'Then Sir, isn't it giving an apparent signal that secularism is gradually losing its appeal in reality because of the natural power of religion over individuals, groups, societies, politics and come what may not?' put forward another student sitting in the front desk.
"You may have lot of queries and conclusions under the given circumstances. Even so, dear students, bear in mind all the time that conceptually and practically secularism has seriously been distorted, and ill-applied in Bangladesh perspective; Yes, you should satisfy yourselves with the proposition that the answer is better known to those who are in politics and to those who make law in Parliament," concluded the Professor in a haste and left the room ten minutes before the scheduled time of termination.
In the end, the students were really at a loss as to what to understand, what to digest and what to say if a question is ever put to any of them about the secular standing of Bangladesh. Should they then resort to the definition and interpretation of secularism in line with the lecture of the professor or should they strictly follow the Constitution of Bangladesh? It would seem whatever choice they make, it would not be free from confusion and misapprehension.

the twentieth century, was very powerful for China because two revolution
happed: 1911 Revolution and The Cultural Revolution in 1949. The 1911
Revolution is not as known as much as the Cultural Revolution, but had a significant
affect to the world. China throughout the course of history rapidly changed and
while the country itself changed, the definition of Chinese identity itself
changed over the course of the twentieth century. The Cultural Revolution was
very remarkable and influential to the citizens of China and the country. The
definitions such as gender, class identities, urban/rural, Confucian/tradition
has changed or rather developed massively.
Chinese communism is a very unique form of
government. It had to fight and withstand many obstacles through history and
resulted in rapid development for China. Chinese Cultural Revolution, seen as a
peasant-based revolution was led by Mao Zedong in 1949. This marked the
beginning of the challenging times that later on created a social and economic
force in the world economy. There was a Republican revolution in Chino on October
10th, 1911 which led to the fall of the ruling Qing Dynasty. The
country was in political confusion and the landlords and upper classmen took
advantage of the situation to exploit the citizens and life became unbearable.

The government and the upperclass performed no function that the peasants
deemed essential way of life. Thus, the link between the government, upper
class and the peasants were weak and largely artificial. Between 1916 and 1927, a new warlordism
developed. Warlords attacked each other even though they seemingly had similar
ideas and goals, making it a regrettable era in China's history. This marked
the beginning of the growth of communism in China. Mao Zedong, a poor yet
intelligent man is the main individual that attributed to the ideal of
communism. The lower classes in society were attracted by the principles which
called for equally as they suffered from extreme poverty, starvation and grief.
The success of the peasant revolutions in the
20th century China was largely due to the presence of
large landless labourers. The agrarian society depended on the central
authority. There was an absence of commercial agriculture and the peasants were
subject to stresses. China was a highly bureaucratized imperial regime in which
"landed property, degree holding, and political office" were deeply entwined.
The upper class in China were bureaucrats, and to hold office in the imperial
bureaucracy is through the examination system that started from the T'ang
dynasty. Landed wealth came out of the bureaucracy and depended on the
bureaucracy for its existence. More or less open corruption was the only way
the imperial regime managed to sustain this hulking bureaucratic apparatus.
Landowning was
highly concentrated but worked by countless peasant tenants, a relationship
that was a political device for squeezing an economic surplus out of the
peasants and using it to over pay bureaucrats.
Mao Zedong was one of the main individual that led
the Cultural Revolution in China. He was a Hunanese peasant, but became one of
the most influential character in China. He was very good at self-promotion
which resulted many Chinese citizens to act for him. Mao Zedong's attempt to establish himself as
the leader of the Communist world by ridding the country of capitalism and its
long standing traditions.
Mao launched a national campaign called The Great
Leap Forward to boost China's economy. The Great Leap Forward was to
redistribute the land among China's rural population and organized workers into
communes. Unfortunately, The Great Leap Forward failed miserably and to regain
the power back, Mao united with the radicals to launch the Cultural Revolution.
Mao stated: "Those representatives of the bourgeoisie who have sneaked into the
Party, the government, the army and various spheres of culture are a bunch of
counter-revolutionary revisionists," claiming that these elements should be
removed violently. Then, Mao shut down schools in China to mobilize students
into units called the Red Guard. The Red Guard attacked, abused, and killed
intellectuals such as teachers and even the innocent people if they suspected
thinking that they would undermine the communist system. Youth played a very
important role in the Cultural Revolution as the Red Guards, and they were
mainly urban students (Presentation20). Red Guards were students at the age of
middle schooler to fairly high schooler. They were impacted and empowered by
the principles of Chairman Mao. The Red Guards goals were similar to Mao's: to attack
the four olds (old culture, old customs, old habits, old thoughts), re-live Yan'an
experience (rectification campaign), build a new revolutionary culture based on
Maoism, and finally attack anyone in power by branding them a
counter-revolutionary (Presentation20). According to the class presentation by
Professor Hess Christian, there were policies to recover from the Great Leap

markets re-opened. Farmers get to keep their surplus. Just like in the land

Mao Zedong launched the Cultural Revolution, his goals were to change the

PLA, disciplines the huge bureaucracy: attack on leaders at all institutions,
attack "the four olds," raise "revolutionary successors," and address the
inequalities brought about by Liu and Deng (Presentation20).
