Ah it's holiday season. Something we've worked hard for and planned all year. A fabulous escape from all our everyday worries and why not?
However as we all know, those worries and stresses tend to still be there when we get back.
The dead end job, the difficult boss, the knackering commute, the nagging sense of wanting to do more with your life, if only you knew what it was?...
I know that feeling because I used to do exactly the same thing in my last corporate job. I'd try to make myself feel better by spending any spare cash on distractions like day trips or holidays, but the temporary high would never last long and I'd soon be back to square one again once I got home.
The problem was that trying to distract myself from my problems didn't work. What I needed to do was change my perspective, and for that I needed the help of a coach. Someone who could help me see things differently and see what was truly possible for me.
And once I had got clear on what I really wanted out of life, and re-built the confidence to go for it, then I didn't need to distract myself so often. Life felt full of possibilities, and whilst the road to meaningful change wasn't always easy or smooth, it was exciting to finally be on that journey!
So don't get me wrong, who doesn't love a holiday? Enjoy the sun, the cocktails and the trashy books (or is that just my idea of the perfect break?!). But just imagine if that was the cherry on the top of an already pretty great life and career back home, instead of a 'ho hum' one?
I'll speak to you soon
p.s my coaching spots are filling up for the autumn (always a busy time of year for me, as summer holidays tend to give people a bit of space to reflect on what's not been working and what they really want to change). Want to be able to sink into that sun lounger knowing that you've got a life changing introductory coaching session booked in with me when you get back? Then get in touch now to learn more and grab your spot.

Cambrian: Opinion
Juvenile elephant seals return to Piedras Blancas after months at sea
Plenty of seals are on the beach at Piedras Blancas right now. Not the giant adults, but some hefty aspiring bulls and plenty of younger seals. The "Juvenile Fall Haul-Out" continues into November.
Young seals of both sexes arrive to take a six-week rest on the beach. Most are less than 5 years old, although a few 6-year-old males were on the beach in mid-October. A major feeding event drew many dolphins, lots of pelicans, cormorants and gulls, and a few humpback whales to Piedras Blancas. The water boiled with activity. Every day brings different critters to the area, which is protected as part of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
The elephant seals, which don't eat in this area, were unimpressed.
The pups born last January return to the beach for the first time. They have had to master navigation, diving and hunting skills. Their only guide is whatever instincts they're born with.
They've spent the past months, since they left the beach in March and April, diving deep below the surface, hunting for fish and squid. The seals hunt at 1,000 feet and deeper, below thousands of feet of lightless, cold water.
Even these first-year pups, called the Young of the Year, dive as deep as 4,000 feet. With no guidance, they found the northern feeding grounds along Canada's west coast, perhaps as far north as the Aleutians, where the adult males feed. Returning to Piedras Blancas, they make forward progress on their dives. Breathe for two or three minutes, take a final breath, breathe out, dive, float down, hunt, turn around and swim back up to the surface to breathe. Twenty minutes, half an hour, 2,000 feet, 3,000 feet, always moving forward.
Half of the Young of the Year won't make it back. Those that do may not weigh any more than they did when they left. Surviving is victory enough.
The seals have short, stubbly fur. It looks nearly black while it's still wet. As the sun dries it, it takes on a lighter brown color.
The young seals may surf a wave onto the beach. You may see a seal rolled onto its side, showing a light belly. It's called countershading, the dark back and light underside. It's a typical ocean camouflage, to help protect them from predators. Great white sharks and orcas, also countershaded against their own predators, see their dark backs when they are swimming above them, blending into the ocean depths. Ocean predators swimming below them see the light belly against the bright surface. In the ever-changing play of light and dark, any advantage helps.
They don't eat while they are on the beach. They meet all their needs from metabolizing their blubber. They don't drink at any time — what would they drink, in the ocean? Their large kidneys filter salt from the prey they eat and maintain their normal tissue balance.
Young males engage each other in battle, but it's not serious fighting among this age group. It's practice for adulthood and, along with just being out of the water, a way to strengthen their bones. Visitors often remark on how much the tussling reminds them of their own teenage boys.
The juvenile elephant seals take the rest they need in the fall, before their elders begin to arrive in December for the breeding season.

T-Mobile started pre-orders for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge a couple weeks ago. And actually started shipping them a little over a week ago, so not really pre-orders anymore. Both models will be available in T-Mobile stores tomorrow, April 10th. Today, T-Mobile announced that sales of the Galaxy S6 for them have been double what the Galaxy S5 was. Which the Galaxy S5 did sell pretty well, so that's saying a lot. That's not all, according to T-Mobile. The HTC One M9 has also already outsold its predecessor, according to T-Mobile:
"In fact, in the first 10 days since we started selling (and shipping) the Samsung Galaxy S 6 phones, sales are already nearly double those of the Galaxy S 5 – previously our most popular Galaxy phone ever. Likewise, in the first 10 days of HTC One M9 sales, it has already surpassed sales of the M8 during the same time period. "
Tomorrow, you'll be able to walk in and get a Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge from T-Mobile. They are offering it for $0 down and $28.33 per month for the Galaxy S6, $32.49 for the Galaxy S6 Edge and $27.08 for the HTC One M9. Pair that with Contract Freedom, and you have a pretty good deal on your hands. Of course, John Legere was not shy about letting his competitors know about their plans for the Galaxy S6 launch. In fact, he even told Sprint that customers aren't dumb. With Verizon and AT&T he used the same old "unlimited data" joke. Basically saying that they don't offer it, so why buy one of these devices from them.
If you are looking to switch to T-Mobile, this is probably the best time to do so. T-Mobile will pay up to $650 to get you off your current carrier and into a Magenta smartphone. That includes paying off your AT&T Next balance, Verizon Edge or Sprint's Easy Pay balance. That's a pretty good deal, actually. Especially if the price was keeping you with your current carrier.
Tomorrow's the big day. Three flagships launching on four carriers. And that's just in the US, never mind the rest of the world.

7 Of The Worst Fast-Food Salads, According To Nutritionists
sharing post from huffington post
TV exposes, investigative magazine articles, healthy lifestyle websites and books like Eat This, Not That! have been alerting the American public to a real bummer of a fact for the past decade: Just because it's a salad doesn't mean it's good for you.
Before nutritionists and Dr. Oz revealed that Chili's Quesadilla Explosion Salad is the nutritional equivalent of eating two bags of potato chips, many of us believed in earnest that we were making a smart choice by choosing a salad at our favorite chain restaurants and fast-food joints. If we can't trust our go-to meal spots to keep us feeling healthy with something that comes in a bowl of lettuce, what are we supposed to eat when we're in a rush and/or on a budget?
The FDA has taken note. As of May of 2018, restaurants with over 20 locations had to start listing calories so customers can make informed decisions. Taco Bell has become a leader in the healthy menu item expansion that many chains are making, and many of the country's heavy-hitters now have feel-good options.
That doesn't mean these menus don't require a bit of navigating. There are healthy salads and unhealthy salads, and sometimes there are better menu picks altogether.
That's why we've turned to the experts to shine a light on fast-food chain salads. By looking at the biggest offenders at top chains in terms of calories and fat as well as what ingredients they include, we can start to make sense of which salads to avoid, which salads are actually full of good fat, which modifications to make to take a salad from empty calories to nutritionally economical, and in some cases, what to order instead of a salad.
"Someone paying attention to weight management may not necessarily look at calories, but ingredients. A salad may have fewer calories but may leave you hungry and wanting more later."– Registered dietitian Maya Feller
The first necessity in making smart food choices is knowing what's good for you and you alone, according to registered dietitian Maya Feller.
"What's good for Patient X may not be good for Patient Y," Feller told Huff Post. "We need to have an idea of our own individual health. If someone has high blood pressure, they're going to need to pay attention to the amount of sodium. Someone with a history of heart disease will want to look at trans fat and saturated fat. Someone paying attention to weight management may not necessarily look at calories, but ingredients. A salad may have fewer calories but may leave you hungry and wanting more later."
Mitzi Dulan, a registered dietician and certified specialist in sports dietetics, also recommends looking at each separate ingredient. Some salads might be high in fat, but it could be good fat that keeps you full longer. It's important to differentiate between empty calories and calories your body needs so you know what to leave in your salad and what to cut out.
"When a salad is high in fat, I look to see if that is coming from nuts or avocados or dressing," Dulan told Huff Post, noting that nuts or avocados would be "good" fats — natural fats that keep us satisfied longer — and dressing would be not such a good fat. "You can always use less dressing and ask for it on the side."
Protein is a key factor, too. Every nutritionist we spoke to stressed protein as a priority because of its ability to keep you fuller longer. Dulan advises that getting at least 20 grams in a salad is the goal, and she recommends getting there with salmon, tuna or chicken in your salad. Feller says hard-boiled eggs are another smart add.
Keeping ingredients in mind, here are seven popular fast-food chain salads that can do more harm than good if you don't make some major swaps.
Calories: 827
Calories from fat: 500
Fat: 56 grams
Saturated fat: 13 grams
Trans fat: 1 gram
Carbohydrates: 49 grams
Sodium: 1789 milligrams
Ingredients: crispy chicken, iceberg lettuce, romaine lettuce, spring lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, crumbled bacon pieces, croutons, ranch dressing
Containing more calories (827) than any other salad on this list, this Jack in the Box salad is a good place to start the conversation about the good, the bad and the helpful-to-know-about calories. Basically, we should be focusing less on the number of calories in a meal and more on where they're coming from. As Feller notes, "10 calories from an orange is different from 10 calories in a piece of candy."
"All dietitians and nutritionists have different outlooks, but most agree that calories aren't really what it's all about; it's more what's in your food," said dietitian and personal trainer Courtney Ferreira. Ferreira, Feller and Dulan all underline that it's more important for a salad to make you feel full with quality ingredients.
In the case of this Jack in the Box salad, the high calorie count isn't coming from anything nutritious. Lacking anything your body can naturally use for fuel, the meal defines "empty calories."
"Clients tell me they eat this big leafy bowl for lunch but are starving by 2 p.m., and it's because they didn't get enough calories," Ferreira said. "If the calories are too low, the salad doesn't keep you full, and then you get the afternoon munchies."
That doesn't mean you want a "calorie bomb," though, as registered dietitian and certified personal trainer Alix Turoff pointed out. Ferreira says it's helpful to think of calories proportionally: If the average person should have about 2,000 calories per day (1,600 is a good place if you're more sedentary), we don't want to get more than 1,000 calories from one meal.
For that reason, Ferreira advises skipping this Jack in the Box salad, since there's not much in it to play with or modify, and you'll just be getting the wrong kind of fat from the dressing and the crispy chicken.
Calories: 610
Calories from fat: 297
Fat: 41 grams
Saturated fat: 12 grams
Trans fat: 0 grams
Carbohydrates: 18 grams
Sodium: 1,660 milligrams
Note: Dressing is not included in this nutrition info.
Ingredients: romaine lettuce and radicchio, thick-cut smoked bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, tomatoes, breaded chicken, "buttery" garlic croutons
This Burger King salad is another example of not having much else going on aside from cheese, breaded chicken, croutons and bacon. If you find yourself at a Burger King and you're set on a salad, think about which ingredients you wouldn't mind going without.
"Sometimes the shredded cheddar cheese on a Burger King Salad is something you don't even taste, so it's easy to ditch," Turoff said. To be healthier, you'll want to swap the breaded chicken for grilled, but when it comes to the croutons and bacon, it's OK to treat yourself just a little.
"People are scared of croutons, but I was looking at this Burger King salad and one packet of croutons is only 60 calories," Turoff continued. "That's not a lot and it adds flavor and crunch. It's the same with bacon — the amount is just enough to add a ton of flavor but not a ton of calories. Part of losing weight is staying sane and enjoying food, so if croutons will make the salad, keep them. Just think, 'What ingredient will I get the most out of?'"
"Part of losing weight is staying sane and enjoying food, so if croutons will make the salad, keep them."– Registered dietitian and certified personal trainer Alix Turoff
Calories: 540
Calories from fat: 360
Fat: 40 grams
Saturated fat: 12 grams
Trans fat: 1 gram
Carbohydrates: 15 grams
Sodium: 1,290 milligrams
Ingredients: grilled all-white-meat chicken, Monterey cheddar cheese, bacon, greens, choice of dressing
This brings us to one topic that all the experts highlighted: dressing.
"Dressing makes or breaks a salad," Turoff said. "This Subway salad wasn't so bad as it was, and you can add unlimited veggies for fiber and volume. But if you get the exact same salad and get honey mustard dressing (instead of the ranch dressing for which the salad is named), it's around 390 calories and 32 grams of protein, keeping carbs and fat pretty low, whereas this ranch dressing probably has 200 more calories."
Feller, Ferreira and Dulan all stressed dressing as the culprit for ruining a salad's health appeal, and advised getting it on the side and using about half.
Calories: 720
Calories from fat: 380
Fat: 42 grams
Saturated fat: 12 grams
Trans fat: 1 gram
Carbohydrates: 44 grams
Sodium: 1,680 milligrams
Ingredients: romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, three-cheese Italian blend, Caesar dressing, breaded spicy chicken breast, croutons
This Wendy's salad also doesn't offer too much in the way of ingredients that would satisfy you if you modified it to be healthier. It's a better idea to pass on this one altogether, according to Ferreira.
"This one has 3/4 of the sodium you're recommended to have in one day. Not everyone needs to be overly concerned about sodium, but there aren't many nutritious ingredients in here at all and with all this sodium, plus trans fat…"
Trans fat is one factor to watch out for and always avoid.
"Trans fat is always definitely bad, we have evidence of that, and companies are removing it from their food," Ferreira said.
When it comes to saturated fat, though? "There's more and more evidence coming out to show us that saturated fat does not cause heart disease, and it's important here to bring it back to 'What is the quality of that fat?' Dairy and nuts may have saturated fats, but they're natural saturated fats, compared to the saturated fats in fried food, which everyone should be avoiding."

As the spring season begins, allergy season is in full bloom. This is the time of year that leaves many of our patients feeling less than their best. Sneezing fits, stuffy noses, and itchy water eyes are just a few of the unwanted symptoms that allergies can bring about. If you suffer from allergies, we have some suggestions for you!
Spring Cleaning
Whoever came up with spring cleaning may have been on to something…
While keeping a clean home and body won't completely eliminate allergy symptoms, it can definitely help. You can't get rid of pollen in the air, but you can remove it to the best of your ability and at the very least limit the amount of allergens you take it when in your home. Wash your hands and face, sweep regularly, and wipe down objects to eliminate dust accumulation that can cause allergies to act up.
OTC Remedies
If you don't already take allergy medicine, you may want to give it a try. An allergy pill can help keep symptoms at bay. While this option is ideal for those that suffer from occasional allergies, it can do a great deal of good for those that suffer from seasonal stuffiness. If you have serious allergies, meet with your primary care physician for the best plan, though we do have another option up our sleeve.
Chiropractic Care
People usually think chiropractic care is only for those suffering from neck or back pain. Few realize that chiropractic can make a big difference in the lives of allergy sufferers. As chiropractic professionals, we use spinal adjustments to align the spine. When the spine is in proper alignment, it allows the central nervous system to function as it should, including your immune system. Allergies are really an overreaction of the immune system, so making sure your immune system is in tip-top shape is a great option. Many of our patients find that regular chiropractic care makes their allergy symptoms more manageable, and some notice a difference after just one adjustment.
If you would like to give chiropractic a try to relieve your allergies, contact us. Our team is here to provide you with the best healthcare possible and to help keep your allergies under control.

Iran Is Scaring Off Its Friends, Too
Added 05-17-19 12:34:03pm EST - "Even Tehran's sympathizers in Europe and Asia are leery of its latest shifts in policy." - Foreignpolicy.com
Posted By TheNewsCommenter: From Foreignpolicy.com: "Iran Is Scaring Off Its Friends, Too". Below is an excerpt from the article.
Argument: Iran Is Scaring Off Its Friends, Too Iran Is Scaring Off Its Friends, Too...
This week, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani responded to the Trump administration's ratcheting up military and economic pressure on his country by announcing that it would resume parts of its nuclear program. This partial rejection of the 2015 nuclear deal has been widely interpreted as a cry for help by Iran to the agreement's remaining supporters to diplomatically isolate the United States and circumvent its sanctions to ensure Iranian oil and goods can still be sold internationally.
Tehran's calculation, however, increasingly seems catastrophic. Rather than strengthening its relationships with other international powers, Iran's recent behavior is undermining those countries' faith in the Iranian government and their commitments to the Iranian economy.
Iran perhaps understood that its new approach would not effectively persuade the European signatories of the deal—the European Union, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Iran threatened to resume nuclear activities after a 60-day deadline unless EU countries found a way of circumventing U.S. sanctions and resuming normal trading relations. European companies, however, are more deeply entrenched in U.S. business than in Iran's, and the EU's new trade finance system, known as INSTEX, has been designed to only facilitate humanitarian trade.
Europe's strategy had been to keep Iran in compliance with the deal at least until the next U.S. presidential election in 2020, when President Donald Trump might be replaced by someone whom Europe and the Iranians could trust again to uphold Washington's end of the bargain. But Iran has spoiled that wait-and-see approach with its 60-day deadline, effectively undermining Europe as a potential ally. Still, Tehran likely did this intentionally, knowing full well that the EU would never openly defy U.S. policy.

Paraphernalia by Jon Chan [2016]
[03.03.16 — 02.04.16]
Grey Projects is pleased to present Jon Chan's first solo exhibition, titled Paraphernalia. A painting teacher at LASALLE College of the Arts and in practice for more than a decade, Chan is, in this sense, overdue for the focus of a solo presentation.
Chan's new oil paintings explore the dimensions between unsolicited real-time performances and their mediation and circulation as images, attenuating any parallels between these two domains. The title Paraphernalia refers to the array of images found in online and print media circulation, and how this inundation is both secondary as well as necessary to our everyday experiences.
Chan paints in order to disorder everyday vicissitudes. His subjects range from banal to frightening encounters, some derived from found media images, others from orchestrated scenes.
Jon Chan (b. 1982) is a Singapore-based artist. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (First Class Honours) in 2007, and a Masters of Fine Arts, from LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore. Other than having numerous exhibitions showcasing his paintings, Chan is the winner of the Winston Oh Travel Award for the years 2003 and 2007. He is also the winner of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry Arts award of 2007.

Dear colleagues,
We would like to bring your attention to a special session at the 2012 Annual Meeting of the Seismological Society of America (17-19 April, 2012, San Diego, California):"Earthquakes and Tsunamis at Coastal Archaeological Sites".
Dear colleagues,

Dear colleagues,
We would like to bring your attention to a special session at the 2012 Annual Meeting of the Seismological Society of America (17-19 April, 2012, San Diego, California): "Macroseismic Effects in Recent and Ancient Earthquakes and their Relationship to Ground Motion Parameters". more
The program of the upcoming 2nd INQUA – IGCP 567 International Workshop on Active Tectonics, Earthquake Geology, Archaeology and Engineering just released! Have a go!
19-24 September 2011 Corinth, Greece
we announce here that the 3rd INQUA-IGCP 567 international workshop will take place in Morelia, Mexico in November 2012. After Baelo Claudia 2009 in Spain and Corinth 2011 we move for the first time across plate boundaries into the new world. On 19th November 1912 at 07:18 h took place the Acambay Earthquake (Mexico), close to Mexico DF. This is the main reason to celebrate the workshop in Mexico, the commemoration of 100 years since this historical event. The Opening ceremony of the workshop will be held at the City of Acambay with the support of the local authorities.
Yesterday, British media reported on a small tsunami that hit southwestern England at 10.15 BST. Wave heights reached around 30 cm in some bays but didn't cause damages, BBC reports. Scientists from Plymouth University claimed an offshore landslide responsible for the rare phenomenon. The waves were seen in Cornawall, Devon and Hampshire. more
On Monday, 13 June, Christchurch was again rocked by earthquakes that caused damages and left people injured. Three significant events happened within two hours. At 1:00 UTC a mb5.0 event occured, followed by a Mw6.0 at 2:20 UTC and a M4.6 at 2:40 UTC. The strongest event caused instrumental intensities of up to VII close to the city. Update: Geonet reports a magnitude of 6.3. more
The World Geological Council (WGC) decided to "sell" earthquakes for charity. Similar to the names of low-pressure areas and high-pressure areas that you can buy from the meteorological agencies, everyone can now apply for buying the name of an earthquake as a gift to friends or relatives. The decision on the application is made by a control board of the WGC, the procedure will be managed by the USGS. The website BUY-AN-EARTHQUAKE.com will go online during the next weeks. All proceeds from this will be given for charity to help earthquake victims. Since the earthquake magnitude scale is logarithmic, rates will increase with increasing magnitude as well.
In the framework of IGCP567, Dr. Andrey Korjenkov is convening a special IGCP567 session and field trip on Earthquake Archaeology and Palaeoseismology in Central Asia.
All information on the international symposium can be found in the first circular (and registration form).
If you are interested to contribute to this session and/or participate to the field trip, please contact Dr. Korjenkov (email@example.com) as soon as possible. The final deadline is 15 March.
I have won my first WoGE on Friday, Florian had a great image of the Okavango delta in Botswana. So I have the great pleasure to host the actual quiz. The rules are simple: Find out the position of the image placed below (provide coordinates) and give a short description of the geological features in the comments. The first to find out has the honor to host the next quiz on his (geo-) blog. I do not invoke the "Schott rule" since I chose to show only a small detail of the subject of interest. This means: Let the games begin! more
Oxford University Press is currently selling selected books with up to 75% off. The promotion covers dozens of books, among them titles on Archeology, GIS and Geography.
Most titles are related to human sciences, but there might be something interesting for paleoseismologists and earthquake geologists, too. more

There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around. We hope you enjoy our site and take a moment to drop us a line.
I think it's possible to invite Jesus in while giving Him our whole hearts. I truly believe that's the way it happens for some, and perhaps that's the best way for sure. I'm suggesting that must be possible. But looking back at my own conversion from that first invitation to now..., at the beginning when i first asked Jesus into my seemingly empty and void expanse of a heart, i'm not sure i even knew what was in there or how vast that emptiness was or how much stuff was piled on top of the real me to where i didn't even know who i was. Not to mention that i was so full of myself and what i had piled on, nothing about me was very clear at all. So i think that's the case for most of us if we look back, we probably offered Him the part that we could feel, or the part that was throbbing or in pain or broken, which was maybe all we knew at the time. We wanted Him to fix what we were being made aware was broken. So i think effectively we let Him on to the beach or maybe the edge of the storm that was our heart. But the secret or still place is in the eye of the storm, in the center, and so i'm proposing that from the moment He lands on the beach of our heart, that the center..., the Capital, the "ME" place, where i'm chained to the chair with no real way of escape or freeing myself..., the "ME" place, that's where He's headed. Into the Interior! So it's conceivable that when we invite Jesus on to the Beach, or the edge of our heart, we don't really know where the center is..., for "the heart is deceitful, desperately wicked above all things. Who can know it?" So when we invite Jesus in, let's face the facts, we don't really know the depths of the human heart or all the passage ways or chambers or valleys or mountains. Plus if our hearts are deceitful which they are from birth to everyone born after the Fall (except Jesus), and God Himself declares this heart condition that we are all born into by blood all the way back from Adam and Eve. So then our own hearts are capable of leading or even continuing to lead us into death while telling us all the while that's a "good" thing. Consider suicide victims are victims of themselves etc..., and we could argue about that, but clearly most who have ever come back from that and had the lights turned on by Jesus found out that they were indeed lying to themselves and that the "perceived" reality they were stuck in at the time was very different than the Reality they now find themselves in. So i think for most of us, we're inviting Jesus on to the beach head of a vastness that we really know little or nothing about to begin with and largely gets worse the farther along we go unless Jesus can persuade us that we need "Death Interrupted" By Jesus Himself. So on the beach..., major wars have been won and lost here..., on the beach. When the Allies landed on the beach in WWII, it was the beginning of the end for the enemy. They made their way through the mess and finally to the capital and then it was done. So too is our beach, but when Jesus comes by permission on to the beach, the battle is already won, but He has to be invited there, He won't land on your beach by force or uninvited. Then He steps His two feet on to that beach, or maybe for some He steps one foot on the beach while the other is still in the water, or maybe still for some, He's invited all the way in to the "ME" place and dethroning happens immediately etc..., and we could no doubt argue at what point salvation happens but lets face it, only God really knows and He clues us into that the more He teaches us to trust Him and the longer and deeper that goes etc..., So He (Jesus) makes His way by permission through all the places that only He knows the way to and through. Through the valleys of the shadows of death, through the dungeons, through the quicksands, the swamps, the marshes, the volcano's, the cold bitter poles, the oceans, the treacherous cliffs, the chasms of the mind, human reasoning, into, through, and past all the scars and gaping wounds, through the deepest places, uncharted places, barren places, past all the layers, all the way to the center, He deposes us, sits down there, and then begins the Rest of God. The Rest for the people of God, His kids. Some would say there's Salvation, and Sanctification, but lets face it, there was some point when Jesus proved to us Who He IS and who we are in Him. That's a process, and we don't have to settle on what or how long that takes. And to be sure, Jesus is in charge of that process with each one of us. We know we believe in our hearts that Jesus Died for us, rose again, and confession is made to salvation. But that doesn't take sometimes, and rather than try to convince someone that they are or they aren't, let's just go deeper, and let Him in deeper and yield to Him more, and He will get us the rest of the way.
Adam and Eve Literally Stemmed from Pure Life. Then when they fell, they rebelled against Life and entered into a covenant with Death just as God had said they would if they ate. It's important to note that they strayed from God and entered into Death by eating or consuming the disobedience in the form of a tree. Then Jesus Who IS Life where Adam and Eve came from before the Fall..., So when Jesus by Himself came, He brought in to our world with Him The New Covenant (or Born Again Covenant), Covenant of Life which cannot be broken again. Wages are are not credited as a gift but an obligation. And God owes nothing to anyone. He is only obligated to Himself. The "wages" of sin is death, and these are the only wages we can actually "earn", and without Jesus, Death is obligated to remain. But with Jesus, the "wages" of Faith in Jesus, which is our connection with Him Who IS Life, then Life is Obligated to swallow up Death and make Alive in the "Believer" New Life or Newness of Life.

Lawmakers in Hungary have approved the introduction of taxes on revenues from media advertisements, which could jump to 40% for the biggest broadcasters.
On June 11, 2014, The Hungarian Parliament passed a controversial tax on advertising which critics say represents an assault on media freedom in the country. The legislation, which had earlier been mooted but shelved by the ruling party in a previous session of Parliament, was rushed through the house in a fast-track procedure.
The levy would tax Hungarian media companies' annual advertising revenues progressively, at a maximum rate of 40 percent on revenues above HUF 20 billion (EUR 65 million). However, the tax exempts the first HUF 500 million (EUR 1.7 million) in advertising revenues.
Media companies have denounced the legislation, publishing blank newspaper pages and stopping broadcasts in protest. Civil society groups have warned new rules will put media freedom in jeopardy.
The lawmaker who submitted the proposal said that in the near future the government also aims to tax the ad revenues of Internet companies like Facebook, YouTube and Google.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

This is a discussion on Vortech V1 Strim Install on 02 TA LS1 ! within the Forced Induction forums, part of the LSx Technical Help Section category; I will be doing a custom install of a Vortech V1 S-trim Supercharger on my 2002 Transam WS6. This is ...
Vortech V1 Strim Install on 02 TA LS1 !
I will be doing a custom install of a Vortech V1 S-trim Supercharger on my 2002 Transam WS6. This is a custom install the S-Trim is meant for a mustang, the reason I will be installing an S-trim is because it out flows the G-trim kit currently offered by vortech. The G-trim flows 750cfm as opposed to the S-trim which flows 1000cfm. I will post pictures and keep you posted of the install as it goes along!
I still get a little twitchy when I think about when I did my install.
Drag racing...just another numbers game.
Vortech Super Charger, 9" w/4.11, 3200 Stall, BMR SFC, BMR TracPak, !MAF screen, 160 T-Stat.
you have the same setup? Any words of wisdom?
No, it's not a V1 S Trim. It is a V-9 SQ G Trim with no aftercooler. It is supposed to put out 4 to 6 psi of boost. I do not have a guage, so I cannot verify that. I have a smaller pulley that is supposed to put out 7 to 9 psi. It will not go on untill I get alky-water injection kit (it's supposed to be God's gift and a cure all for superchargers).
Words of wisdom...hmmmm...good luck. It sounds like you are going down a road no one has travled before. I installed a tried, tested, and proven package for my car and it gave me grief.
I am assuming that you will mount the head unit in the same place I mounted mine. You will have to move the power steering pump reservoir. The bracket that Vortech sends you to hold the fitting on the pump itself sucks and is inadequate at best. I couldn't get mine to quit leaking...enter JB Weld. Problem solved!
A standerd balancer pulley puller will not work on an LS1. I think I used a 3 jaw puller. It's been 5 years since the install. Kinda hard to remember every thing. Installing the aftermarket balancer sucked, too. Of course, my balancer installer tool did not fit between the crank and the radiator. I made an installer out of a piece of all thread and a thrust bearing. There is no touque spec on the bolt, GM wants you to measure bolt stretch. That was my first attempt at it. Use lock tight on the bolt and make sure it's real tight.
Be carefull when you tap the threads in the oil pan. I used a few quarts of oil to flush any stray shavings out of the pan. A magnet won't help, the pan is aluminum.
I worked in auto service centers for over 13 years at the time. Mostly I was in management, but I wrenched quite a bit, too. I tried to get this project done in a short amount of time on a car that, at the time, was my only transportation. I'm sure that added to the stress level. Make sure you can take your time and it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a friend help.
I do not regret doing the work myself, but I will not do it again. I'm getting too old for that.

Without an index, MySQL must scan the entire table row by row to find the relevant rows. If the table has an index on the columns that you are filtering for, MySQL can quickly find the rows in the big data file without scanning the whole file.
MySQL can use an index for filtering of rows in WHERE, ORDER BY, and GROUP BY clauses, and also for joining tables. If there are multiple indexes on a column, MySQL chooses the index that gives maximum filtering of rows.
You can execute the ALTER TABLE command to add or drop the index. Both index addition and dropping are online operations and do not hinder the DMLs on the table, but they take lot of time on larger tables.

Flashing DD-WRT[edit]
|WARNING: Requires Micro for DD-WRT, Do not flash anything else!
|WARNING: Requires K2.4 for DD-WRT, Do not flash anything else!
|***Warning*** There is no Revert for this router at this time.
- Configure your computer's local lan ethernet address to 192.168.1.10, subnet 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.1.1 . Then connect an Ethernet cable to your computer and port 1 of your router. (Do Not Use Wireless)(Nothing else connected to router)
- Perform a Hard reset or 30/30/30.
- Open your browser to http://192.168.1.1.
- Use the firmware upgrade dialog to flash Vxworkskiller-GS2V1.bin.
- WAIT for at least five minutes before you continue! (longer is better) Give vxworks killer plenty of time to do its magic!
- You will not be able to browse the WRT54GS2v1 at this point, but you should be able to ping 192.168.1.1. If the router doesn't reply you haven't set your computer's network settings correctly (on step 1)
- Tftp the DD-WRT firmware to the router, use latest dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin from the folder where you got these instructions; after sucessful tftp, wait 5 min for the router to finish writing new nvram deafults, etc... It should reboot on its own at least 2 times, so give it 5 min and then go to http://192.168.1.1 (If it not reboot on its own, wait another 2 min, and then power cycle it) , you should see the password reset page. Don't worry about changing it at this point.
- Perform a Hard reset or 30/30/30.
- WAIT for at least 5 minutes before you continue! (longer is better) Give the router plenty of time to to boot.
- Browse 192.168.1.1, you should see the password reset page, change it! Then configure.
- Check for recommended builds here.
Updating DD-WRT
If dd-wrt is already on the router follow these instructions. If stock firmware is on the router follow the flashing instructions.
- Check for recommended builds here first.
- Set your computer to a static IP of 192.168.1.7. (or to whatever subnet the router is on) Disable all firewalls and security. Disable wireless on your computer and only have the router connected to the flashing computer by the ethernet cable between the two.
- Hard reset or 30/30/30 (If the router supports it, if not, reset to defults in the GUI) prior to flashing. Wait. Check for password page on re-login and change password.
- Flash firmware. You can use the webgui except if you have a belkin router. (For belkin use tftp.exe to flash)
- Wait...at least three minutes. Lights should return to normal. See important2, below. Failing to wait is how most people brick their routers.
- Do a power cycle of the router. (Unplug the cord, count to 30 and plug it back in.)
- Wait for the lights to return to normal usually about 2 minutes.
- Hard reset or 30/30/30 again (If the router supports it, if not, reset to defults in the GUI). Wait. Check for the password page and re-login to change the password. Then you can reconfigure your settings manually.
- Once configured set your computer back to autoIP and autoDNS.
Important1: This Hard reset or 30/30/30 works fine for Asus router, but you do have to power cycle after the reset.
Important2: After you flash the firmware, and before you do the hard reset, the router will be building some nvram settings. YOU MUST WAIT FOR THIS TO FINISH PRIOR TO DOING ANYTHING WITH THE ROUTER INCLUDING A HARD RESET. Usually, you can tell when this process is completed by the WAN light coming on, but it does take several minutes. Go have a beer. There are starting to be more and more people who BRICK their routers by not waiting until the nvram is rebuilt, PRIOR to doing a hard reset. YOU NEED TO WAIT!

SwiftUI Gesture Tutorial/
Gestures can be added to any ordinary view in SwiftUI. In this tutorial a tap gesture is added to a text view to change the background color. SwiftUI requires Xcode 11 and MacOS Catalina, for which the Betas can be downloaded at the Apple developer portal.
Open Xcode and either click Create a new Xcode project in Xcode's startup window, or choose File > New > Project. In the template selector, select iOS as the platform, select the Single View App template, and then click Next. Enter SwiftUIGestureTutorial as the Product Name, select the Use SwiftUI checkbox, and click Next. Choose a location to save the project on your Mac.
In the canvas, click Resume to display the preview. If the canvas isn't visible, select Editor > Editor and Canvas to show it.
In the Project navigator, click to select ContentView.swift. Change the code inside the ContentView struct to
struct ContentView: View { // 1. @State private var didTap: Bool = false var body: some View { // 2. Text("Tap me") .frame(minWidth:0, maxWidth: .infinity, minHeight: 0, maxHeight: .infinity) // 3. .gesture(TapGesture() .onEnded { self.didTap.toggle() } ) // 4. .background(didTap ? Color.blue : Color.red) } }
A State property is declared which will track if a tap gesture is detected.
A text view is created which will span the entire window using the frame modifier
a gesture modifier will toggle the boolean value of the state property
The background color is changed according of the current state of the didTap property.
Go to the preview pane and click the live view button. Tap the text to change the background color.
The source code of the SwiftUIGestureTutorial can be downloaded at the ioscreator repository on Github.

Two cases in the last month have brought Germany's education policy under scrutiny. In the first, a family fled to America, sought asylum and were granted it by a Tennessee judge, because the parents wanted to home-school their children. The second is much the same, but it strikes closer to home: after fleeing Germany for Denmark, a family ended up in Canada because Germany doesn't allow home-schooling. This past Tuesday, the family went before the Alberta Immigration and Refugee Board to plead their case.
Seldom does a developed country have to decide to give asylum to people from another developed country. Germany isn't a cultural backwater where people are denied basic human rights, but the lawyer for the Alberta family is arguing that in this case rights are being denied. Parents, the argument goes, have a right to raise their children how they see fit. If the parents decide that the educational system is inappropriate for their children, then they should have the right to educate them themselves.
The majority of websites promoting home-schooling do so for religious reasons. In both of the German families they felt that the education the children were receiving was lacking Christian values. Statistics on the reasons most parents choose home-schooling are hard to come by, but a large majority of the people I have met who were home-schooled were, at least in part, so taught because the traditional education system is absent of religious instruction. The family in Alberta has a more complex case; two of the children have medical conditions that a regular school would not be able to accommodate and the third was removed from school because the other students were setting a bad example.
Human rights do not allow parents to indoctrinate their children. The concern with home-schooling is that, even with a state-sponsored curriculum, it's much harder to determine what the children are being taught. One goal of the public education system is for children to frame their own opinions about issues; another is that they should be presented with a number of different opinions. All people should be able to determine their own conception of the good later in life. If one is brought up so that possibility is minimized, then it is the child's right, not the parents', that has been violated.
Citing a lack of religious values at school is tantamount to stating that children should only be presented with religious values: nothing about the German system prevents parents from teaching their children about God outside of the classroom. The same can be said for the unruly behaviour the one parent claims occurred. The behaviour isn't clearly defined, but if it involved drugs, sex, or evolution, then that isn't a good reason.
What about cases where a child has special needs, like in the case of the two children mentioned? It's more complex, but why should both necessities -- healthcare and education -- be deferred to a parent who has training in neither? The grounds that the parents have to claim that a special needs program couldn't do a better job is lacking; it makes it more questionable that their healthy child was unsuited for the public school system as well.
In many cases the value that children gain from a public education are not the things explicitly taught in the classroom (although learning the truth about our origins is). Learning how to interact with children who have a different ethnicity, religion, gender affiliation or sexual preference can be classed within this other curriculum. The values are picked up in a diverse classroom, not necessarily from what the teacher is saying. Learning about these different views is no less important for a democratic society to function than learning about math or social studies.
For children who have special needs, medical professionals should determine how those needs are best met. Otherwise, there should be one school system for all. No faith schools, no Catholic school board and no home-schooling. A world religions class could teach children enough of what they need to know about religions (which would foster acceptance) without the indoctrination.
Truth is, religion may be one aspect of the decision to homeschool, but not the only. Some parents simply think public school education just sucks - and depending on the school, I\'d say they have a fair argument.
You\'re painting with too broad of a brush, Eric, and you have a laughable faith in the public school system. Maybe once this utopic school system is created, there will be no need for homeschooling. Until then, parents should have the choice about how they want to educate their kids.
We home-school and are not religious or have any special needs. We made a very big decision to home-school because we wanted to give our children the very best possible start in life.
Yet all we hear from ill-informed people such as Eric is a bunch of negative conjecture.
We home-school to give our children the best social interaction possible – we find being out in the communality meeting and working with people of all ages and creeds is better than 5-days a week with the same bunch of same-aged children.
We home-school to give our children the best possible education - we are miles ahead of the school-curriculum in music, language, science, art you name it. We find personal and individual tuition is significantly better than the factory-based school approach.
I am sick and tired of hearing people who have no facts spouting the same old crap about home-schooling. Eric do your research!!
But surely nothing in my story suggests that all parents who home-school have the type of indoctrination I specify in mind. I know of one person who was home-schooled because his parents wanted to sail around the world. That\'s a great opportunity that would afford many unique experiences such as encountering different cultures. This is exactly what I say one value of a public education is. So, if a child can get it in another way, then that is worth consideration. This still doesn\'t resolve the problem about ensuring that home-schooled children aren\'t being indoctrinated. The system would have to be much more standardized in accordance with the public curriculum, and more frequent testing would need to take place for this to occur. But teaching the same curriculum is not the goal of many parents.
Robin\'s situation does raise another question though. If certain parents are willing to give their children much more than other parents are (or can), are they justified in doing that? On one hand, the answer seems obviously yes: we want all children to have the best possible upbringing they can have. But on the other hand, there is an intuition that society should reward effort, and not chance. It is pure chance that we are born to the parents we are (in the country we are, and so on). It isn\'t clear that if I am born to very smart parents, say, both with doctorate degrees, who decide to home-school me, that I deserve that education over another child. I will surely benefit from it; no doubt I have inherited some of the genes that will make me better off already. A similar example is if I am born to wealthy parents, do I deserve the large inheritance they leave for me? I have done nothing to deserve the money, and this seems to be the type of social hierarchy society doesn\'t want to promote. Anyway, dear reader, you will have to forgive me for not being able to address all of these questions in the 600 words I\'m allotted each article. If you are interested, a paper I am presenting at a philosophy conference this spring is on exactly this topic, and I would be happy to discuss it in more depth, so contact me. Because I approach this problem from my field (applied philosophy) I reject statements of the kind Robin makes about lacking facts about this issue. I am dealing with normative questions: more facts will no doubt make each case more complex, but they won\'t resolve the problem. If only as many parents took the time (or had the knowledge) to raise their children in the manner Robin discusses, then society would be much better off. I have strong doubts about the extent that parents should be given free reign to give their children objectively better home-schooled education for the same reasons I have doubts that private schools are just. The children of rich parents don\'t deserve that education, so if parents want to improve the education system as a whole then that is fine, but making one child\'s education much better for the arbitrary reason of her being your child is problematic.
Emily, I think, makes many of the same points for the same reasons, although there are two confusions that she makes. 1) She accuses me of stating that every family who home-schools for religious reasons is practicing indoctrination. I don\'t know why she says that \"I make it sound like that\". This is exactly what I explicitly state. We can only guess at why she thinks this \"is, of course, absurd\". She gives no reasons for this argument, and instead relies on everyone else to share her view. I don\'t share her view, so it would be generous of her to point out her reasoning. 2) She commits two fallacies in as many sentences by stating that religion may be one aspect of the decision to home-school. In fact, I supply two: religious and medical. The second begins by noting that some parents think that public schools \'suck\', and says in the next paragraph that I have a laughable faith in the public school system (she gets points for the faith analogy). But what makes it the case that because I think one is bad, I must believe the other is a utopia? If I criticize the Liberal party am I forced to believe that the Conservatives are infallible? No. There are many problems with the public school system in Canada, and even more with the German one. But if I think that the public school system is x units bad, then home-schooling (for religious reasons) is x-1.
- No faith schools, no Catholic school board and no home-schooling.
You have extrapolated from two of specific examples to a general recommendation to stop home-schooling. This is based on the premise that some parents will indoctrinate their children with religious views – which is of course something they could do even if their children went to school.
Lets take this back to a fundamental question – who is responsible for ensuring children get the right education? If you believe it is the state then you agree with German law – remember it was introduced by the Nazi party to control people. If you believe that parents are responsible (which the majority of parents choose to delegate to the state) then you must support home-schooling as a valid option.
Actually I agree that home-schooling for religious indoctrination is not a valid reason. But you also need to look at the education that schools provide. This is essentially convergent in nature and based on achievement of exam results. This means being able to understand information and produce "Model Answers" that most accurately match what the examiner wants to see. Being good at convergent thinking does bring rewards, recognition and potentially a good job. That is all great but it does not promote divergent thinking. A student who started their exam paper with, \"I think this is the wrong question and the real question to answer should be......\" would be marked down. Home-schooling provides this freedom for creative and innovative thought denied in a state education.
You end with a bit of a u-turn. You have gone from wanting to ban home-schooling because in some instances it may be wrong for the wrong reasons to then declaring it an unfair advantage hence implying it is better then state-education. So now home-schooling should be banned because it gives children an unfair advantage and only well educated/rich people can have this luxury.
Home-schooling is certainly not a luxury for the rich and privileged. We need to finance the whole thing, we get no support at all and have to pay for all equipment, sports, activities, exams and trips. We need to make the time available to provide a full-time education. This means we have to economise and scrap-through. It's quite insulting to be cast in the way you have.
Finally, we spent two-years researching, understanding and talking to people about home-schooling before making the decision with our children in full-support. Our children have a "day at school" once a year to see if they would like to return and each year they have concluded it is not for them.
Look forward to reading your paper…..
I would argue that state education leads to a more narrow-minded outlook for many children, as they are fed facts by \'experts\' whereas home educated children have to find things out for themselves once their parents\' knowledge ran short. The library and internet offer a much wider range of views than any classroom. I would know - I have been educated in both state-run and private schools, as well as being home educated.
This sentence, but in context with the remainder of his article and proposed rebuttal, is it unfair to assume Mr. Mathison to be an anti-Christian, and a statist in the most negative sense of the term—as Pres. Kennedy spoke: \"The rights of man come not from the generosity of the State, but from God.\"?
But then also—if Mr. Mathison hails from Canada—for his betterment by example, has Canadian society produced any great orator—ever?
Mr. Mathison concludes that sentence, thus: \". . . . I have doubts that private schools are just.\", and for the clever notion that, a child or, the child\'s birth here or there, is—as elsewhere he propounds—by sheer chance (although he writes: \"pure chance\" when the thing would better as in the form of an adverb: \"purely\". And this, just before this dogmatic, arbitrary and unsupported rule: \"The children of rich parents don\'t deserve that education, . . .\" (And for the spurious notion that, it was by simple chance that, the children were born to wealth.).
As I think, upon the simplest extensions to his redundancies, mis-constructions and tortuous logic and, the \"piled higher and deeper\" use of: \"I\"—thus providing a nice exposure to at least some extent of his self-centeredness—signing himself as \"writer\", the comical appearance of Mr. Mathison\'s article, is naturally enhanced.

I thought it might be helpful to look at the available research into kids and teens who commit sexual offenses to better understand their backgrounds and the impact that treatment may have on reducing their risk of harming other kids in the future.
I'd never wish the darkness of mental illness on anyone, but if it wasn't for anorexia, bulimia, anxiety and depression, I don't know if I would be a Christian today. There seems to be a pattern common to many Christ-followers who also live with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, etc. Here's how I now characterize the five stages in my relationship with Christ, and the spiritual growth He worked through each stage to the next.
Each church will need to take inventory of how they can best serve the disability community, but there are a few things to strongly consider that may help you make a real impact for God's glory.
After a meeting with our elder board about some missions support, our leadership team had an awakening of sorts. One of the elders said, "We need to understand disabilities better as a church," and then asked, "How can we educate our people about this and do better together as it relates to our families affected by disability?" Read how one church became intentional about disability ministry and outreach.
Our staff has developed a page on our website listing disability ministry and mental health ministry training opportunities throughout the Continental United States.
We live in the world with a real enemy whose job is to sabotage and block our mental health. The enemy dispatches schemes and roadblocks that cloud God's will for our lives. But walking in the truth thwarts roadblocks from the enemy.

In the past three years, while his classmates were doing homework and playing sports, Moziah Bridges built himself a $150,000 business.
That's right — he started his business at 9 years old. Not yet a teenager, Moziah now has five staff members and has received a ton of media attention, from an appearance on the TV show "Shark Tank" to features in "O Magazine" and "Vogue."
"I like to wear bow ties because they make me look good and feel good," Moziah writes on his website. "Designing a colorful bow tie is just part of my vision to make the world a fun and happier place."
Ever the fashionista, he's reveled in style from a young age. At 4 years old, Moziah wore a suit and tie whenever possible and insisted on dressing himself.
Within a few months, he had created his own collection of over two dozen bow ties. Friends and family fell in love with his creations. Moziah upped his production, fashioning tidy bow ties from his grandmother's vintage fabrics in an array of floral and African prints, and even scraps of old taffeta dresses.
Word of mouth worked its magic, and soon Moziah was taking orders through Facebook and selling on his own Etsy store. As demand increased, his mother, grandmother and other family came on board to help with production.
Today, each bow tie is still sewn from scratch, though Moziah has expanded from vintage materials to tweeds and ginghams, with a formal line of satins and silk. His bow ties are available in his own web store, on Etsy, and in boutiques throughout Texas, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
When asked who his role models are, he said he looks up to Daymond John, who became his mentor as a result of the "Shark Week" appearance.
As if his early success in business weren't enough, Moziah has also become something of a young philanthropist. This summer, he donated $1,600 to send 10 children from his hometown of Memphis to Glenview Summer Camp.
In a post on his blog, Moziah wrote, "Memphis is ranked the highest of child hunger; most kids only get a meal when school is in session. At the community center, the kids get a meal and play time. Giving back to my community really helped me feel humble. It also makes me smile because I see other kids smiling and enjoying the camp."
What's next for this inspirational kidpreneur? In a recent interview, Moziah said he wants to go college and start a full clothing line by the time he's twenty.
He's got it all figured out, folks; Moziah Bridges has a happy, colorful life filled with business successes, social good, work/school/life balance and solid goals for the future. And he still gets to bed at 8:30 every night!
What's holding you back?

He found this project very exciting and + promising and jumped on it.

 - Emmanuel is working since 1988, when he joined its first company to maintain - some applications using banking protocols like SWIFT. Three years after, he joined - another company to work on a X400 messaging system, where he were very lucky to - be faced with ASN.1 for the first time. He wrote a meta-directory above X400 - MHS, which was able to handle 3 different kind of grammars. He has also worked on - different kind of IT projects. He started to heard about Java in 1996, when - it was just a whisper, and waited until 2000 to consider that the whisper is becoming - more than a buzz, but a reality that will blast the world of C and C++. + Emmanuel is living and working in Paris - France since 1988. - He works on its own company since 2000. It was founded with two friends, - and does technical consultancy for various clients (mainly huge companies). - - He has good knowledge on compilers writing, and is very found of optimization - technics. - - He strongly believes that OpenSource is a way to keep pace with IT evolutions, - and that it helps its clients to avoid a product lock up. + Since then, he has been working on a X400 messaging system, where he first met with ASN.1. + He developped a meta-directory above X400 MHS and also got involved on + a variety of IT projects. He heard about Java in 1996, when it was just a + buzz, and waited until 2000 to cut his teeth on it.

 - Emmanuel is actually involved in the Twix subProject. Twix is the third ASN.1 - BER codec used by LDAP. It is supposed to be a faster codec than snickers, and - a first step to a complete ASN.1 codec generator. As Snickers, it's a - non-blocking, event-driven codec. - - ApacheDS could work with both codecs, simply by modifying the configuration file. - - Emmanuel has also started working on a Ldap proxy which is actually being - working out by Jocelyn Dodin. -
 + Emmanuel is at the moment mostly involved in the Twix sub-project. Twix is + the third ASN.1 BER codec used by Apache Directory Server. Its goal is to be + a much faster codec than Snickers, and a first step toward a complete ASN.1 codec generator. + As with Snickers, it's a non-blocking, event-driven codec. -
 - Bohumil Hrabal, Ernest Hemmingway, Honoré de Balzac, Jean Giono, Alexandre Soljenitsyne, - Primo Levi, John Steinbeck, Ismaël Kadaré, William Faulkner and James Ellroy are the top ten - of its favorite writers. -
 + Both Codecs are pluggable in ApacheDS simply by modifying the configuration file. + + Emmanuel has also started working on a LDAP proxy which is actually being developped actively by Jocelyn Dodin. +
