Opening Plenary Session sponsored by IPNI
Grand DEF
Tue, Jul 25, 2017
9:00 AM to 11:00 AM
Since World War II society, business and agriculture have experienced, enjoyed, and been challenged with change driven by information technology. The list of next BIG THINGS extends thru mainframe computers, PCs, the Internet, precision agriculture and Big Data. While the promise of Big Data in agriculture has received attention and publicity lately, the underlying change factor for agriculture is embedded in the term, Data, not the term, Big. The exciting driver of change is the application of digital technologies to agricultural production, distribution and marketing. This discussion will focus on the impacts and opportunities of these applications. Drawing on lessons from the non-ag economy as well as from agriculture, the conversation will speculate as to future dynamics associated with digital technology application to agriculture. As we strive to use data and analytics to resolve our known unknowns, where will we find unknown unknowns?

Training the next generation of migration researchers
Students and faculty from various Lebanese universities converge at LAU Beirut for an Institute for Migration Studies workshop on quantitative research methods.
Cora Mezger, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Sussex and one of the workshop's four instructors, explains quantitative methods used in migration studies.
Students and faculty get more familiar with the quantitative analysis software SPSS at LAU Beirut's Sage Hall.
Cora Mezger gives examples of quantitative migration research methods to the IMS workshop participants.
Twenty-two participants get hands-on experience with quantitative data analysis during the four-day intensive workshop.

LAU's Institute for Migration Studies hosted a four-day intensive workshop on the Beirut campus on October 27-31 in order to introduce students and faculty to quantitative methods used in migration studies, and make them more comfortable using their own survey data to further their research.
The workshop was organized by the Paris-based National Institute for Demographic Studies, a specialized research institute working in the field of population studies.
Participants included 18 undergraduate seniors and graduate students from LAU, Université Saint-Joseph, and the Lebanese University, as well as four LAU faculty members, all interested in honing their quantitative skills for future research projects.
Four INED associates — Cora Mezger, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Sussex, Sorana Toma, a Ph.D. candidate at Oxford University, and Lama Kabbanji, researcher at the Institute of Research for Development — led the training, which introduced quantitative migration research methods and analysis of macro- and micro-level data. Throughout the course the participants had hands-on sessions with Microsoft Excel and the quantitative analysis software SPSS.
Dr. Paul Tabar, associate professor of sociology and anthropology at LAU Beirut and the director of IMS, says that the purpose of the workshop was twofold.
"The first, more straightforward aim was to show students and faculty how to construct a survey question and use SPSS to analyze data collected from that survey," he says.
"The other aim was to raise awareness among faculty about the need to teach these kinds of skills in a more in-depth way in their own courses, to make our students who are embarking on a master's degree program better equipped with quantitative research skills," he adds.
Tabar would like to see students writing their master's theses using both qualitative and quantitative research. "Without both of these components, their theses will simply be pieces of argumentative writing," he says.
Ph.D. student Mariam Hasbani says that the regression analysis (modeling and analyzing multiple variables) portion of the training was most useful. "Since I'm planning to conduct a survey for my own Ph.D., I may consider the migration topic because the theories we discussed were very interesting, and of course the practical part we did on SPSS will be very helpful."
One of Tabar's students, Mira Mawla, a senior political science/international affairs major at LAU, decided to participate because there were a lot of concepts in quantitative research that she wasn't yet familiar with.
"I had forgotten how to work with Excel, so this was a good refresher. Also, I'm sure I will use the SPSS program soon, especially for my senior study," Mawla says.
The participants clocked 26 hours of class time over the four-day span, which is more than half a semester's workload, according to Tabar.
"Despite its intensity, one cannot expect such a workshop to replace a one-semester course — but given the time limitations the instructors did an excellent job," Tabar says. "They managed to convey how important quantitative research skills and SPSS are for any student's future research."
IMS gave the attendees a certificate of completion at the end of the workshop to "make student attendance useful," says Tabar. "This can also be added to their CVs and make them more attractive candidates later on."

An official lift opening ceremony was held in Navapolack Secondary School # 8 at 10 am on March 6, 2018; the ceremony will be attended by officials of the Navapolack City Executive Committee and Natalia Stasevich, the invited Project Coordinator of the EU Delegation to Belarus.
It is one of the phases of the project aimed at including disabled children and youth into the educational space and the city social life, a project unique for the Polack region, in particular, and Belarus, in general.
Construction work was commenced on the site on August 28, 2017. Lately, School # 8 received a three-storey lean-to; the elevator cab was installed (manufactured by Mogilevmash OJSC); windows next to the shaft were replaced. Navapolack City Executive Committee, as the Project Coordinator, was responsible for the project financing.
The lift will expand the ability of the disabled students of School # 8 to move around with comfort. It is augmented by the fact that in the new academic year the school admitted 30 students with developmental challenges including 11 with musculoskeletal problems. In addition, 35 'special' children attend its corrective/pedagogical support centre. The efforts on adapting the school environment to the kids' educational needs will be continued. A remote education class was opened under the inclusive project in School # 8 on November 24, 2017; construction of a barrier-free athletic ground will be commended in the school in the following months.
The Navapolack City Executive Committee, with the financial support from the European Union, has been implementing the Navapolack – from an Inclusive School to an Inclusive City Project aimed at providing equal and non-discriminatory educational opportunities to children and youth.

This is one of the main question of season 3 finale. Many fans wondered who is Kuvira? Kuvira was not formally introduced in the finale. Her actual introduction was in the episode "the Metal Clan," Where she is seen dancing in Suyin's dance recital. Kuvira was a character that was unimportant until the season 3 finale. Her name was revealed accompanied by a musical theme. Fans have claimed that she will be season 4's villain, after a leak in the season 3 trailer. The trailer showed a woman resembling Kuvira taking some prisoners with a smirk on her face. There is a difference in opinions, some say she will be the next villain while others disagree claiming that she will join the Korra Krew.
In my opinion, she will be the next Team Avatar member, because the creators have said that the next villain will not be spirit nor a Red Lotus. I have my doubts there is still something fishy about this character and I still do not know a lot about her. We will have to wait for season 4.
What do you think about "Kuvira" and how she will play in the final season of Korra? Will she be a villain or good guy? Please comment.

Here some more Comparison. We decided to compare 2015 Ford F-150 VS 2015 RAM 1500, because they are similar, but different vehicles.
2014 RAM 1500 was released last year and drivers had a chance to see all ins and outs. One of the "ins" is V-6 engine which produces more power than before. Turbodiesel six helps to improve fuel economy and the advantage is magnificent interior, as well. However, safety is the aspect they had to pay more attention. It is still major drawback of the 2015 RAM 1500. New Ford F150 has been improved due to tougher competence on the market and higher customers' demands. Design is more attractive than before and the engine is more powerful. F150 will have really hard to work to climb up on the first place in the pickup truck market competition. RAM 1500 is considered to be one of the best pickups currently on sale and this would be very though fight.
Interior and Exterior
One of the biggest advantage over the F150 is 2015 RAM 1500's quietness. It has one of the best cabins made out of high-quality materials. For the first time electric power steering has been installed in the RAM 1500. Rear view camera is a standard and rear parking sensors are an option which can be added for extra money. On the other side, number of different body styles for 2015 Ford F150 has been increased comparing to older model. Body shell and some other parts are made using aluminum, which is totally new.
The 2015 For F150 will have several options for the engine. Even though it wasn't expected turbocharged 2.6 liter EcoBoost V-6 will be one of the options. It is the engine with great efficiency in reducing fuel consumption. Power ratings are still unknown and we expect they will be published in the following months. The base engine for the 2015 RAM 1500 is 3.6 liter V-6 (part of the Chrysler Pentastar) which can develop 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. Transmission is eight-speed automatic which has been big surprise for many car fans.
2015 Ford F-150 VS 2015 RAM 1500 Price
On the market 2015 RAM 1500 can found at the price of $24,610 which is predicted to fluctuate until the end of the year without huge turbulences. Even though official price of the 2015 Ford F150 hasn't been published yet it is predicted the base model will cost $24,445 which is almost the same as the price above. Details will decide which one is going to be better on the market but don't forget there are plenty of good pickup trucks waiting for the chance to prove themselves.

Democratic Maryland politicians are calling for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to step down after it was revealed he met with the Russian ambassador twice during the presidential campaign and did not disclose the meetings during his Senate confirmation hearing.
The Justice Department on Wednesday alleged Sessions had communicated with Russia's ambassador last year. Sessions has since announced that he will recuse himself from any 2016 campaign-related investigations.
Sessions said during a Jan. 10 Senate confirmation hearing that he "did not have communications with the Russians" and was unable to comment on any possible communication between the Trump campaign and Russian officials.
Reps. Steny Hoyer and Anthony Brown, who each represent part of College Park, have both called for Sessions to resign.
Hoyer wrote in a statement that "it is insufficient for Attorney General Sessions to recuse himself from any matters concerning the presidential campaign. … His actions have cast a dark cloud of doubt over the department he now leads."
Rep. Elijah Cummings, a Democrat from Maryland's 7th District and ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, wrote in a statement Wednesday that Sessions provided testimony that was "demonstrably false." District 8 Rep. Jamie Raskin also called for Sessions to step down on Thursday, writing in a statement that Sessions' "alarming conflict of interest and startling failure to tell the truth" disqualified him from serving as the nation's top law enforcement official.
National Security Adviser Michael Flynn resigned on Feb. 13 after misleading Vice President Pence and other White House officials about his conversations with the Russian ambassador.
"It is inconceivable that even after Michael Flynn was fired for concealing his conversations with the Russians that Attorney General Sessions would keep his own conversations secret for several more weeks," Cummings wrote. "Attorney General Sessions should resign immediately, and there is no longer any question that we need a truly independent commission to investigate this issue."
Sen. Chris Van Hollen wrote in a statement Thursday that Sessions should be placed under oath again, this time to "determine exactly how many conversations took place, when they happened, and what was discussed."
"The Attorney General holds a special position as top law enforcement officer in our country," Van Hollen wrote. "Anyone serving in that position must have the confidence of the American people to be an honest and independent broker who protects the fundamentals of our democracy."
Van Hollen also spoke out against Sessions in January, when the Democratic senator raised concern over Sessions' views on immigration, civil rights and voting rights, women's rights, those with disabilities and the LGBT community.
"The Attorney General must be the people's lawyer and be zealous in the pursuit of justice for all Americans," Van Hollen wrote in a statement Jan. 19. "I am not convinced that [Sessions] will be a vigorous defender of the rights of all Americans, especially those who have fallen victim to the powerful or the status quo."

In this clip from tonight's episode of Celebrity Big Brother, Omarosa tells her fellow houseguests about how they shouldn't be so quick to want President Donald Trump out when Vice President Mike Pence is such a "scary" alternative. Omarosa and Keshia are up for eviction.
"You would be worried about Pence," Omarosa says to the others. "We would be begging for days of Trump back if Pence became president. He's extreme. I'm Christian, I love Jesus, but he thinks Jesus tells him to say things."

This perimeter geometry game was inspired by this short conversation with a 4th grader:
- Me: What's perimeter?
- 4th grader: It's where when the two sides are the same, then you um, I mean you times them by two.
- Me: Ok…I see where you're going with that. But what does perimeter mean?
- 4th grader: I know, but I can't really explain it.
A lot of kids learn perimeter and area as just rules to be memorized. When they don't grasp the concept, they get confused and are likely to mix up the "area" rule with the "perimeter" rule–without really understanding either of them.
This geometry game gives kids real hands-on practice with perimeter–and gets them asking some questions about area, as well.
Perimeter: the distance or measurement around the outside of a two-dimensional shape.
How To Play "The Perimeter Game"
Grades: 2-5
Players: 2 to 4
Best for: Understanding the concept of perimeter and area
Prep: You'll need one die and square tiles. (I use these plastic tiles , but you can also download this set of printed squares and print them on colored card stock.)
- Roll the die and take that many tiles.
- Arrange your tiles to make a shape. Each tile in the shape must have at least one full side touching another tile.
- Add up your perimeter after each roll. (Count each outside edge of the squares in your shape.)
- On each new roll, add to your shape and count the new perimeter.
Some kids find it helpful to write the numbers to help keep track as they add up perimeter. (In case you're wondering, the wipe-off grid you see in the picture is actually the back of a these hundred charts.)
- As you get closer to 24, you can choose to roll OR move one tile in your shape. (Moving a tile can increase or decrease the length of the perimeter.)
- The first person with a perimeter of exactly 24 wins.
Getting The Most From This Geometry Game
We kept playing even after the first person got a perimeter of 24 to see who would get second place, third place, and so on.
I asked the winners who were no longer playing to take a picture of their creations and to count how many squares they used (the area).
They also wanted to name their pictures. We had a robot and a torch, among other things.
This gave the other kids time to finish their game and work out how to get to a perimeter of 24–even if they initially went over.
At the end of the geometry game, I asked them some questions:
- What did you notice when you were doing this activity?
- The robot and the torch both have a perimeter of 24, but the robot used 11 squares and the torch used 15. How can that be?
- How would you change your shape if you wanted less of a perimeter? How would you get more of a perimeter?
NOTE: Counting outside squares to find perimeter is more challenging than it seems. As you help kids count, be very clear about the starting place, so they know when they have made it all the way around their shape.

Yesterday was a good day, in the most unspectacular way you can imagine. The success lay mainly in the fact that I got my ass to yoga in the morning, and even though this resulted in a quite unproductive start of the day I think it helped setting a nice mood for the day. I made a smoothie for breakfast for the first time in months, had a nice lunch with Andreas and the local lady that will start teaching us Malay in a few weeks (!) and spent the rest of the day making Brunei related illustrations for the newsletter. I even survived the evening CrossFit foundations class! But, to be frank, I think the most impressive success about yesterday was that I seem to have avoided the major menstrual cramp sesh I usually go through every month. Not sure if it was a fluke, the fact that I worked out or that I took my painkillers as soon as the pain made itself known. Either way - major win!
Hope you had a great Tuesday too!

(The weekly GPS Small Group Guide can be downloaded in .PDF format from the individual sermon page, found at http://www.cor.org/worship in Sermon Archives)
Systematic Evil
A Grow-Pray-Study guide for small groups
This guide uses the Scripture readings from the daily "GPS" study guide. Group members may read the daily readings before the group meeting, or read the verses aloud when the group meets. The group may subdivide into two or three smaller groups, each discussing a set of the daily readings and the matching questions on page 2, or the entire group may discuss those questions together. We pray that, whatever pattern of study you choose, the Holy Spirit will weave God's Word into the life and heart of each group member.
Amos 5:20-24
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., June 6, 1961: "So let us be maladjusted, as maladjusted as the prophet Amos, who in the midst of the injustices of his day could cry out in words that echo across the centuries, 'Let justice run down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.'…I believe that it is through such maladjustment that we will be able to emerge from the bleak and desolate midnight of man's inhumanity to man into the bright and glittering daybreak of freedom and justice."
Micah 6:1-8
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., March 25, 1965: "Let us march on ballot boxes, until we send to our city councils, state legislatures, and the United States Congress men who will not fear to do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with their God. Let us march on ballot boxes until all over Alabama God's children will be able to walk the earth in decency and honor."
Matthew 5:1-12
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., November 6, 1956: "Don't despair if you are condemned and persecuted for righteousness' sake. Whenever you take a stand for truth and justice, you are liable to scorn….I still believe that standing up for the truth of God is the greatest thing in the world….The end of life is not to achieve pleasure and avoid pain. The end of life is to do the will of God, come what may."
Matthew 5:43-48
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., December 24, 1967: "Agape is an overflowing love which seeks nothing in return….This is what Jesus meant when he said, 'Love your enemies.' And I'm happy that he didn't say, 'Like your enemies,' because there are some people that I find it pretty difficult to like….I've seen too much hate to want to hate, myself…every time I see it, I say to myself, hate is too great a burden to bear."
Luke 10:25-37
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., April 3, 1968: "The first question that the Levite asked was, 'If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?' Then the Good Samaritan came by. And he reversed the question: 'If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?' That's the question before you….The question is not, 'If I stop to help this man in need, what will happen to me?' 'If I do not stop to help the sanitation workers, what will happen to them?' That's the question."
Psalm 30:1-5
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. from his book The Strength to Love: "I read these words: 'The United States Supreme Court today unanimously ruled bus segregation unconstitutional in Montgomery, Alabama.' My heart throbbed with an inexpressible joy….The dawn will come….'Weeping may endure for a night,' says the Psalmist, 'but joy cometh in the morning.' This faith adjourns the assemblies of hopelessness and brings new light into the dark chambers of pessimism."

Lord, we thank you that, in our lives and in the life of our country, although difficult times continue to appear, the worst thing is never the last thing. We pray that you help us to put others ahead of ourselves and that we avoid hate, replacing it with your never-ending love. Help us to work to bring about truth, justice and peace in a troubled world. In Christ's name we pray, Amen.
CONNECT (5-10 minute discussion, at most)
In your opinion, what was the most troubled time in American history? Do any of the problems encountered during the Civil War period endure today? Why have these problems not been completely eliminated by now?
Read Amos 5:20-24. Read aloud the quote from Monday on page 1. The scales of justice can swing both ways. Do you ever have difficultly deciding what is just and what is unjust in a given situation? What can we do in cases like that? Why is justice an essential Christian practice? When in history have Christians been broadly unjust? Did other Christians stand in opposition to that injustice? Did this dissension, although painful, result in a more just world? Dr. King said that we should be "maladjusted" like the prophet Amos. What did he mean?
Read Micah 6:1-8. Read aloud the quote from Tuesday on page 1. Micah said some in his day were "skilled at doing evil." Do you find this still to be true today? Where do you see this kind of evil in the world? Why do some people practice evil? Do we, as Christians, need to be reminded to do what's right, or does it come naturally? What influences us to do what is right? Have you ever taken an unpopular stand for justice? What happened? Were you ever blessed because someone else took a stand for justice? Do you think there were times when someone stood for justice for you, and you never knew about it? Under what circumstances has God himself suffered for people who never realized it?
Read Matthew 5:1-12. Read aloud the quote from Wednesday on page 1. Is our natural tendency to seek first God's approval or to seek first the approval of others? How can we overcome our basic nature? What will drive us beyond seeking popularity for ourselves toward true righteousness in the eyes of God? Do you admire the accomplishments of Abraham Lincoln? Was he universally admired as he struggled to have the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution ratified? What does that tell us about righteous acts as viewed in the present vs. as they are viewed by history? If you are old enough, have your views of Dr. King and his work changed with the passage of time? If so, how?
Read Matthew 5:43-48. Read aloud the quote from Thursday on page 1. C.S. Lewis defined agape as a selfless love, a love committed to the well-being of the other (even our enemies). Do we have to "like" someone to be committed to their well-being? Can we attack someone if we are committed to their well-being? Can we defend ourselves against someone if we are committed to their well-being? Can we defend or even attack if the well-being of others is threatened? These are the difficult questions that men and women who are considering opting out of military service on religious grounds or as "conscientious objectors" face. Even if our answers are "yes" to these last three questions, must we also hate?
Read Luke 10:25-37. Read aloud the quote from Friday on page 1. The Salvation Army's highest national civic award is The Others Award. It dates back to when The Salvation Army's founder used the word "others" to describe the non-profit's selfless mission. It recognizes the people who first think of others before themselves. Why could the word "others" describe the mission of all Christians? How do we shift our thinking from 'what will happen to me" to "what will happen to him (or her)"? Although "pulling oneself up by one's own bootstraps" was a common philosophy of American pioneering heritage, was unselfishness also a part of that culture? Is it still true today?
Read Psalm 30:1-5. Read aloud the quote from Saturday on page 1. Does everyone's life contain at least some times of terrible sorrow, weeping, pain and agony? Do these times always seem to come to an end? When they are over, does that pain make the freshness of the new day seem even sweeter? Do you liken these transitions to going from darkness into light? As Christians, do the difficult times seem to end sooner with God's help? How do we call upon God's help? Are we being selfish by asking for God's help? Has going through tough times strengthened or weakened your faith? Why?
From last week: Did you watch for evil trying to do its work in your life and in the lives of others? Without being judgmental, how did these battles seem to turn out? Are there situations that you might be able to tell the group about, without mentioning names?
From Dr. Myron McCoy's sermon of January 20, 2013:
First Colored Baptist church of Birmingham, the original name of 16th Street Baptist Church, began in 1873 during the days of Reconstruction in the heart of the downtown. The "city fathers" forcibly relocated the congregation to make way for what they said was the need to make room for expanding retail stores in the early 1880s….The congregation moved as ordered. They built a building of considerable size before others completed their building plans, which created so much angst in the larger community that the city ordered the church to demolish the building in 1908….Determined to please God and desirous of serving the needs of the city's growing black population's need for alternative gathering space, a new structure that seated 1,600 congregants in worship and a large basement auditorium was designed and built in 1911. Systemic evil was nothing new for the congregants of the16th Street Baptist Church, and hosting meetings as a community gathering spot was rich in the DNA of the congregation.
While considering the context that led to the bombing on that fateful Sunday morning, I must also remind you that a Methodist layman named George Wallace was inaugurated Governor of Alabama on January 14th, 1963. He threw logs on the fire of hatred with inflammatory words of defiance some 8 ½ years after the historic Supreme Court ruling in Brown vs. the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas: "I draw the line in the dust . . . and I say, segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever!"…
In April, 1963 Dr. Martin Luther King and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference went to Birmingham at the invitation of Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth and the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights (ACMHR). They led a massive direct action campaign, coinciding with Easter, the second biggest shopping season of the year, to put an end to practiced segregation…. Faced with a court injunction issued against such protests on April 10th movement, community leaders determined that they would disobey the court order which Dr. King characterized as ''an unjust, undemocratic and unconstitutional misuse of the legal process.'' King was arrested on Good Friday, April 12th, and while in jail he wrote "Letter from Birmingham Jail"….By May 10th, an agreement was reached that called for the removal of ''Whites Only'' and ''Blacks Only'' signs in restrooms and drinking fountains, a plan to desegregate lunch counters, an ongoing ''program of upgrading Negro employment,'' the formation of a biracial committee to monitor the progress of the agreement, and the release of jailed protestors on bond.
Fierce segregationists responded to the agreement with a series of violent attacks that included bombings at the motel room where SCLC leaders met and the home of Dr. King's brother. President Kennedy responded by ordering federal troops into position near Birmingham and making preparations to federalize the Alabama National Guard. Three months later, America's racial attitudes and feelings were stirred on August 28th with King's "I Have a Dream" speech during the March on Washington.
It is in this context of systemic evil with a society going bad that Ku Klux Klan members bombed Birmingham's Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, killing the four young girls. While giving the eulogy for three of the four young girls, Dr. King said ''the martyred heroines of a holy crusade for freedom and human dignity'' have something to say to:
• Ministers of the gospel who remain silent behind the security of stained-glass windows
• Politicians who feed their constituents with the stale bread of hatred and the meat of racism
• Governments that compromise with undemocratic practices and blatant hypocrisy
• Anyone who passively accepts evil systems and stands on the sidelines in the midst of a mighty struggle for justice
As I think about the unhealthy context that allowed so many to be swallowed up in a web of ugliness, I am reminded of the psychological phenomenon known as "groupthink." Some of the negative characteristics of groupthink (first described by social psychologist Irving Janis) can occur as groups set themselves above the law in almost mob like fashion while eliciting, expecting, and encouraging conformity of opinion.
A troubling modern example would be the report compiled this last summer by former FBI director Louis Freeh detailing the cover-up of child-sexual abuse at Penn State. How could so many respected, upstanding persons fail so miserably in defending young children, while going overboard to protect their own images and a football program? Groupthink sacrificed vulnerable children and protected Mr. Sandusky….The Freeh report also reminded us…to practice resistance to evil by speaking out against abuses of power, as did Dr. Vicky Triponey, the former Penn State vice president of student affairs, who ran up against "the Penn State way" and was fired when she dared try to discipline football players for various infractions from bar fights to sexual assault….
And then there is Jesus, whose life showed the highest standard of integrity and peace. He was, as Gandhi said, "the most active nonviolent resister known to history." Jesus' life and teachings help us to resist all that might be wrong. He said, "Love your enemies and pray for those who harass you." He taught us to pray saying, "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." Jesus proclaimed a vision of God's realm, and began a campaign into Jerusalem to confront the empire's violence. Even under arrest, torture and execution, Jesus practiced resistance, loving and forgiving everyone while insisting on God's truth. Appearing before Pilate he said: "If my kingdom were of this world, my attendants would use violence and fight to protect me; but it is not of this world, so they do not use violence."
Even though the systemic evil of Jesus' crucifixion was legal in the government's eyes, the resurrection was totally illegal. Yes, the soldiers were sent to guard the tomb, and put the imperial seal on the tomb as if to say: "We killed you, stay dead!" But, O how grateful we are Jesus practiced some more resistance and in essence said, "No, I am alive!"
Systemic evil
These days, the term "systemic evil" is heard quite often. It refers to moral evil committed by an organization or a social institution or system. Traditionally, moral evil has been regarded mainly as something committed by an individual person, but systemic evil is a social sin coming from a system collectively. An organization or a social institution or system usually has its own culture, and its members tend to be, psychologically, very easily influenced by it. If the culture is dominated by any unhealthy ideologies or thoughts, such as totalitarianism, authoritarianism, institutionalism, mammonism, racism, and sexism, then the organization or social institution as a whole is found to be collectively committing systemic evil, and its members are consciously or unconsciously participating in the evil. Imperialism, Communism, Nazism, sociopathic industrial corporations, inflexible church institutions, and the Ku Klux Klan are some of its examples. This evil was already pointed out by Walter Rauschenbusch early in the twentieth century, who said that it exerts the "super-personal forces of evil"….It is more and more understood that sin is not only personal, but also social and collective. Source: http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Evil
Final application:
This week, watch for systemic evil within our society. Make a list of what you find. Pray for our country and for the world that such evils might be contained and eliminated. Pray also that you might be freed from and not be caught up in any evil that might seem that it is "the norm". Next week, share with the group what you discovered

In honor of Children's Eye Health and Safety Month, the health experts at Envolve, an integrated healthcare solutions company, are pleased to share a few tips for protecting the vision of your children and reducing the risk of injury.
1. Make playtime fun. While toys bring enjoyment to children, they can also bring the risk of eye injury. To limit that, make sure you avoid purchasing toys with sharp edges or spikes and avoid toys that project objects that could end up hitting an eye.
2. Keep it clean but safe. Cleaning products like detergents and bleach are great for getting the grime out, but they can also injure your child's eye if they get into them. Practice precaution when using cleaning products and make sure to put them out of your child's reach when you are not using them.
3. Step it up. Believe it or not, many eye injuries are the results of falls. Keep stairways clean and well-lit and install a handrail. You can also use gates at the top and bottom of stairs to deter use when unsupervised. Also be aware of sharp corners or edges on furniture and other places within your home, and cushion them or remove them if possible.
4. Don't just listen. If children express pain or discomfort in their eyes, it's easy to know it's time to visit a medical professional. But sometimes children will not verbalize the issues they are having. Look for signs like red, crusted or swollen eyes. Often children will rub their eyes, blink more than normal, squint or cover their eyes if they are bothering them. Stay alert and visit a professional if you suspect signs of injury, even if your child doesn't speak up.
5. Put the shades on. UV rays are damaging to all eyes, but children are especially vulnerable. Look for sunglasses that block 99 to 100 percent of UV rays, fit well and have lenses large enough to protect from rays coming in from different angles.

Andaz Hotel
(San Diego, CA)
The Andaz Hotel (originally the Maryland Hotel) was built in 1913 by renowned architect William Sterling Hebbard. The structure is one of the only remaining of Hebbard's hotels and had, at one time, been called "one of the most modernly equipped in San Diego". During the early 20th century, it was the only hotel in San Diego whose rooms had connecting baths, telephones and closets. In addition to these luxuries, the hotel had a heating system and a built in vacuum system that cleaned the rooms. Located in the historic Gaslamp District, this chic historic hotel is one of the favorites in the area.

One of the largest threats to industrial roofing systems of all types is water damage. Protection is one of the primary functions of commercial roofing, but detriment may come back from time to time.
At Jaco Roofing & Construction, Inc., we're here to help with any water damage that takes place on your commercial roof. However, there are some common signs that it might be taking place. Here is what you will want to check on a regular basis:
Shingles Missing
If a few of the singles on your roof are missing, this is often the first sign of potential water damage. Shingles are the first line of protection against leaks, and their loss exposes the roof. If you notice any missing shingles, have them replaced as fast as possible to make sure your luck doesn't run out.
If you have an attic, you should enter it periodically to check for rays of sunlight entering the room through the roof. If sun is going through roof beams, water could be doing so as well. Also check your insulation for mold or signs of moisture, which might indicate a problem you need to solve right away.
Gutters and Granules
Leaves are obviously fine in the gutters, but if you start to notice roofing granules in fairly copious amounts in the gutters, this is another possible sign of water damage.
Chimney flashings are a common cause of roof leaks, and we recommend getting them inspected yearly. Water that seeps through flashing can cause major damage, particularly on flat roofs that haven't been maintained well.
Shelf Life
If your roof is showing signs of wear, it may need to be replaced. The winter season may not be ideal for roof replacement, so if you detect any signs of damage look into replacements before the snow begins to fall.
For more information on how to prevent water damage, or for any of our commercial roofing services, speak to the pros at Jaco Roofing & Construction, Inc. today!

Dad and I pretty much have the same conversation every morning. When I ask him how he slept, he says something like this: "I slept hard but not soundly. I was up several times during the night, but couldn't go back to sleep. I don't feel rested." His description seems to match symptoms for insomnia, although I'm not a medical doctor. Insomnia can be problematic for elders — new research shows it may signal a need for health services and hospitalization in the future.

Could supplements interact with elders' medications?by Dorian Martin
April 24th, 2013 at 10:00 am
Dad takes a number of medications. There's one for high blood pressure, another for his prostate and a diuretic. Plus, he's on a pain patch due to his chronic lower back pain. And he also takes a baby aspirin daily, a multi-vitamin supplement and a fish oil capsule.
He's always reading articles suggesting other supplements that might be beneficial. But should he take them? A new publication by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) may shed a little light on this area.

Brain food for elders: exercise and mental stimulationby Dorian Martin
April 17th, 2013 at 10:00 am
One of the things I'm really thankful for is that Dad's mind is still intact. After caring for my mother during her losing battle with Alzheimer's disease, I'm relieved that I don't have to negotiate that slippery slope again. However, Dad does periodically have memory lapses, which I think have been caused by different issues, such as sleep issues or misuse of some of his medications.
The missing link: elders' sleep and memory issuesby Dorian Martin
April 10th, 2013 at 10:00 am
Dad's memory varies greatly. For instance, last week he could remember the first name of a woman he had read about in a 2010 newspaper article. But yesterday he couldn't remember that we had to hire a plumber last week — even though he was the one who noticed that we had a backed-up sink.
I'm not worried, however, that he has some sort of dementia. Instead, I believe his memory issues are primarily due to his difficulty sleeping soundly throughout the night.

Personalized preventive care plans for eldersby Dorian Martin
April 3rd, 2013 at 10:00 am
I've seen first-hand how quickly an elder's condition can deteriorate when they don't take proper care of themselves.
My mother, who struggled with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, began experiencing memory issues in 2003. As those issues progressed, Mom started mis-medicating herself, sometimes forgetting to take her medication and other times taking too much because she had forgotten she had already taken it. Her memory issues led her to avoid doctor's visits because of her fear of receiving a dementia diagnosis. She didn't exercise and ate primarily prepackaged foods. Her health decreased rapidly between 2003 and 2005 when she was indeed diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and placed in a nursing home for care.

In English we were studying Romeo and Juliet and Mr Lambert had us run a class on a particular topic in the play. My group decided to do the theme of love in Romeo and Juliet. From this experience use learnt about how Shakespeare portrays love and how it impacts the play. I really enjoyed getting to run a class; it was fun. It also made me realise how hard it is to be a teacher!

OVERKILL Frontman On SLAYER's 'Final' Tour: 'If They're Done, They're Done'
OVERKILL frontman Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth says that he respects SLAYER's decision to call it quits, calling it an "individual choice" that is "their business" and not anyone else's.
Last month, SLAYER, one of metal's most popular and influential bands of the past four decades, announced its "final world tour" via a 30-second video. The group also confirmed that its last-ever North American run of dates would feature support from LAMB OF GOD, ANTHRAX, BEHEMOTH and TESTAMENT.
In an interview with Sticks For Stones, Ellsworth was asked how felt about SLAYER pulling the plug on an impressive three-and-a-half-decade career. "Oh, man, I don't make decisions for other people," he responded (hear audio below). "People should do what they wanna do. If they're done, they're done. They know better than I know. It's all about individual choice. I mean, they're cool guys. I just saw Gary [Holt, SLAYER and EXODUS guitarist] out in Los Angeles last weekend [at the NAMM show] — I did a METAL ALLEGIANCE song with him or two — and I never even brought it up, because, again, that's their business. So it's really not something that goes through my mind — 'How strange is this?' or 'How weird is this?' or 'Oh, no.' I don't think in those terms. I've always paid attention to my own porch and my own house as opposed to that of others."
SLAYER will kick off the first leg of its farewell world tour with a May 10 concert at San Diego's Valley View Casino Center, with dates running through June 20 at Austin's 360 Amphitheatre.
OVERKILL has just returned to the studio to resume work on demos for its upcoming album. According to a post on the band's Facebook page, at least four new songs are in varying stages of completion at this point, with more to come.
OVERKILL last year announced the addition of drummer Jason Bittner (SHADOWS FALL, FLOTSAM AND JETSAM) to the group's ranks.

Dzeko has been heavily linked to a move to Chelsea, with Sky Sports and The Guardian both reporting earlier in the day that a deal had been agreed.
But speaking ahead of his side's Serie A clash at Sampdoria, Monchi denied that any deal had been struck.
"Roma, like every club in the world, listen to the offers that arrive for their players, not just for Edin, but anyone in the squad," Monchi told Mediaset Premium.
"We are ready to listen and then we decide. Now Dzeko is here and the rest doesn't matter, which means what we've received so far wasn't acceptable.
"I don't know what personal terms were offered to the player, as I am not his agent. I am talking about Roma — an offer arrives, we look at it and then decide.
"A director of sport must look at the economic and sporting aspect, that is the point of the role. I am a director, I must consider both, otherwise tomorrow I would've gone to sign Leo Messi.
"We must win to change the dynamics of the last few games. We had a good performance against Inter and today need an even better one."
Dzeko started Roma's game and scored a stoppage-time equaliser to secure a 1-1 draw.


text: How Indoor Air Quality Affects Your Allergies Posted August 3, 2017 Air Quality While many people correlate allergy symptoms with pollen, pollution and other irritants in the air outside your home, your internal air quality can have a large impact on your symptoms. According to the EPA, "In the last couple of years, a rising body of scientific evidence has shown that the air within homes and other buildings can be more dangerously polluted than the external air in even the largest and most industrialized cities. Other research says that people devote approximately 90 percent of their time indoors. Therefore, for many people, the threats to health may be greater due to more exposure to air pollution indoors than outdoors." Our Greencastle homes are full of outdoor allergens like pollen that find their way in out homes, and by irritants like pet dander, dust mites, mold spores, chemicals from ordinary household cleaners and more. So, what can you do about it? The solution is already in your home! It's your HVAC system. You should realize that your HVAC can be your supporter or your foe when it comes to controlling your allergies. A dirty system can harbor and circulate allergens throughout your home, so the key is to keep your system well maintained. Primarily, you must keep your air filters clean. Establish a reminder or mark it on your calendar to check them monthly and swap them out when you see that they're fairly dirty. They'll typically need to be changed every two or three months, but this can fluctuate significantly from house to home. You can buy filters that range from the most straightforward level of filtering to hospital-grade HEPA filters. The pros at Premier HVAC Services LLC can help you determine which kind of filter will keep your home healthy and keep your HVAC running correctly. It's also crucial to have your system habitually serviced by a professional to keep your indoor air quality where it should be. In addition to examining that critical filter, your service technician will clean the internal workings of your system and guarantee that everything is operating as it should. You can also ask your technician if a duct cleaning would be needed. When it comes to your internal air quality, you can rely on the specialists at Premier HVAC Services LLC to take good care of you. Besides helping you keep your HVAC system up-to-date, we can help you know that you have the tools you need to fight poor indoor air quality and allergens—like humidifiers and whole home air purifiers. Just give us a call at 717-461-8113 to ensure your home's air is healthy and clean. Back To Blog

02They are the embodiment of a new life created inside a mother's womb, from as little as a single cell to a human that breathes, sees and hears. That is why taking pictures of babies and newborns are experiences that one cannot trade for others.
To make sure that the session goes well, though, you need to know these 5 things. Whether it is baby photography or newborn photography Calgary you can always bookmark this article to make sure the 5things are fulfilled.
1. Customer-oriented service
Mothers will most likely come to you during their pregnancy time if they are planning for a newborn photography. If they are not, they might be new mothers or mothers with other children to take care of. We all know the effort and energy that mothers channel to their children; they spend sleepless nights before and after having a baby, they spend countless hours researching and playing with their little ones to ensure a happy childhood.
The best we can provide is an understanding attitude. We want mothers to be completely assured that we will provide the best for them and be flexible when it is needed. Less stress will mean better experience!
2. Comfortable set for the baby
Ask the parents to bring the baby's blanket and accessories over. You can use these in several pictures. And having the baby lay on a familiar fabric will get them more comfortable.
Turn on the heater and make sure that it is warm and cozy. It may be too hot for you, it will be just right for the baby. This will also put newborns in deeper slumber.
3. Flexible time
Things happen. Any of you can go down with flu or fever and delivery date is also inaccurate half of the time. It is always good that you give up to at least one week of time flexibility before and after the due date for pregnant mommies. Also, be generous enough that you allow your clients to reschedule if their baby is unwell. The best pictures can only be taken when the baby is happy!
4. Keep the set clean
Always make sure that everything is washed clean every day before used in sessions. Materials should not be made of allergy-prone substances and baby-friendly. Always have baby-friendly cleaning products ready to keep the place clean and prevent the mess from spreading around.
Know a thing or two about taking care of babies. This will help you in handling them with care and know the right way to deal with babies.
5. Safe props
Nothing is more important than safety, no matter the kind of pose you are doing. You don't want to take pictures are the expense of injured children!
This includes not using fragrance at all (as babies can be allergic to it), refraining from using dangerous hang bags (such as bean bags) and doing poses you are not familiar with and seem unsafe. Have the parents and your assistant help you in keeping an eye on the baby all the time.
Hopefully, the baby and newborn photography Calgary sessions can be enjoyable and safe. This will definitely result in a positive experience and keeps them coming back to you to take more pictures of their kids!

I offered to Q at Folsom today knowing attendance would be low due to the CSAUP. I heard Leppard was coming and you never know if a FNG or someone traveling may show up. I think it is good to keep the AO open just in case. Turns out it was just Def Leppard and I that showed. Quality over quantity today fellas!
- Appalachian Americans 15 IC
- Don Qs 10 IC
Short mosey to the lower shelter. I planned to try to work the chest and core today and the dry shelter is a good spot with hit-and-miss rain around.
– Shoulder Taps 15
– LBCs 15
– Step Ups 15 IC
– Squats 15
– repeat all 4 exercises a 2nd time
Leppard noticed someone turned on the heat in the shelter during the 2nd set of taps. Funny thing is I had just noticed the same thing. The 2nd set felt a little tougher.
OK, lets mosey around the pond and to the flag at the park entrance for the pledge.
Short mosey to the parking lot for 11s featuring burpees and squats. We started with 10 burpees and 1 squat. That made the whole workout tough but getting those burpees out of the way was nice! We got 'em all done. Frankly, if Leppard hadn't been there, I am not sure I would have pushed through. Having a workout partner is crucial!!!! Quick fellowship mosey across the parking lot to recover. Good work so far, full mosey back to the lower shelter.
Lets work the abs a bit more.
– LBCs 20
– Sandy V's 20
– Big Boys 15
– Flutter Kicks 15 IC
– quick lap around the parking lot
– LBCs 20
I had planned to repeat all 4 ab exercises but realized we were ignoring the sides of our abs so I asked Leppard for some suggestions and the wiley ol' vet was glad to oblige with some suggestions.
– LBCs – 8 to the left knee, 5 to the center, 8 to the right
– LBCs – cross right leg, 10 to the left knee, cross left leg, 10 to the right (great suggeations. Expect these in my next Q!
– Shoulder Taps 15 (those last few were TOUGH!!!!)
Mosey to the parking lot. We had a few minutes left so we did a modified Route 66 – lunge to every other line and do Hurleys. We did 8 lines.
YHC took us out in prayer. Prayer requests included Leppard's son and his family as well as the guys running the relay.
Today was another great example of how iron sharpens iron. Leppard said he was there because he didn't want me to post alone. I got up partly because I knew he was coming. We pushed each other through and wound up with a little over 2 miles covered and A LOT of reps! Just as important, it was good to spend some time and get to know more about his son as well as get to know him. Thanks for the push today!

Cinthya Escorcia, based in Colombia, explains that this series is a reflection on "living next to the sea and never learning how to swim; enjoying the idea of doing nothing and being bored in hot weather."
Her photographs are unobtrusive and gentle. We're invited into a world where we have nothing better to do than explore and play around with nothing much in particular; Cinthya makes something about nothing. There's something nostalgic about a summer spent feeling bored and appreciating that feeling. Cinthya's series makes us remember that feeling.

Spiders are freaky. I mean , they're interesting, yes, from behind glass, heh. 😉 My boys had two of them for pets , Mexican tarantulas, that they captured themselves. Here, in Arkansas , in the fall they go looking for mates and travel across the roads where they are quite easy to spot. If you are an adventurous boy, catching one ( or two) in a Mason jar is something of a rite of passage. You keep them in an aquarium which can be really beautiful , with plants , other foliage and limbs, where you feed them live crickets. I didn't mind all that. But here's the thing, also here in Arkansas we have lots of other species of spiders, MANY of which make it into our homes on a regular basis, and yes, two of them ARE the famous Latrodectus mactans and Loxosceles reclusa. (Oh yes, the black widow and the brown recluse.) Check out this picture here,
This lovely eight-legged freak is called a Wolf Spider. They like to come indoors when it starts to get cold. Last week it had rained for about four days straight and was unseasonably warm for the end of the year. Then suddenly it was winter again. I was sleeping quite nicely when I was rudely awakened by the sensation of what I was "dreaming" was something furry crawling down my cheek. Now I'm EXTREMELY paranoid about moving objects in my bed, and I'm a ultra-light sleeper, so I jolted awake, flinging "whateveritwasthatwasslinkingdownmyface" as far as I could across the room. Turns out , it was a wolf spider. ACTUALLY sized about as large as the one in the photo, legs and all. I near to died. Needless to say, this experience did not do my tachycardic heart condition any good, crazy thing took several years off my life, I swear. I'm wondering if putting up a tiny little rope up around my bed will work for spiders like it's supposed to do for snakes? LOL 😀

It has been proposed that asymmetric auxin levels within initiating leaves help establish leaf polarity, based in part on observations of the DII auxin sensor. Here we show that the mDII control sensor also exhibits an asymmetry and that according to the ratio-metric auxin sensor R2D2, no obvious asymmetry in auxin exists. Together with other recent findings, our results argue against the importance of auxin asymmetry in establishing leaf polarity.

A few things that I liked about this video was I loved how Luke threw his shorts with attitude when Marco asked him to take them completely off (I'm not sure if that was intentional but I thought it really worked well) I love the second pair of shorts that Luke was wearing in part 2 I love tight fitting shorts etc on hot guys. I think next time Luke needs to get it harder, did Johan really spank harder than the King Marco?.. because Luke made more fuss getting spanked by Johan in Angry Dad's "around the block" maybe he was playing along. :)ReplyDelete
Ps. How dare Luke smash up a phone, those things are not cheap nowadays, he will be owing more than £50 for doing that if he didn't take his bare bottom smacking!

Oh yes, I completely forgot to mention about the English accent and acting, I really miss English actors but I understand that it's not a situation that can be changed. The dialogue and the everything flows so much better so it's a tree when we get to see English actors. Plus I like Luke accept as well spoken but not to posh lol.ReplyDelete

This is a little out there, but I went to go make a post and my interface in wordpress changed. Like all the stuff is now on the right instead of the left – very disconcerting. But it's clean, less distracting. I wonder what else changed other than my posting interface. I guess I'll find out later.
Anyway, topic is abstract. Ironically, the first thing that came to mind was an abstract to a white paper. You know that little bit in front of those fancy smancy journals that only give you the abstract – or summary of what the true article is about. Makes me wonder if that's truly whats on my mind – actually sharing the things I've learned about being Cesari.
I'll need to speak with Dorian on that. Dorian wrote an abstract on me. Maybe one day I'll get it to share with you. (Note: It's one of many 'stories' AJ has notes for.)
But, art is one of the few things that I know little about and appreciate. I'm not a fan of abstract art, and while Picasso is usually noted for that, I happen to love his Blue Nude. She's perfect, but the painting evokes sadness. And much of my life I felt sad – alone. The painting is a reminder of where I came from. That there is a time and a place to be blue, to be alone, to bare your soul to someone. I think I'm finally ready for that last bit. At least you are starting to see that in The Last Phoenix. (Check it out if you haven't)

Add the State of Illinois to a growing ledger of U.S. States considering the prospects of legalizing online gambling to one extent or another. With just over two weeks before a scheduled adjournment at the end of May, and amidst debate over Medicaid and pension reforms, Chicago Democrat and Illinois Senate President, John Cullerton, has introduced legislation to create a Division of Internet Gaming within the Illinois State Lottery. Not going so far to introduce legislation to regulate online casinos, per say, Cullerton said his goal is to make Illinois nimble enough to adjust to the reality of online gambling and position itself to capture the widest audience possible before federal regulation is implemented.
Cullerton, like several other State politicians, believes there is great value in being one of the first State's to regulate online gambling. First, Cullerton believes that the sooner Illinois establishes itself in the iGaming industry, the more advantage it will have for long-term success and making a stake at what could be hundreds of millions of dollars. As first reported by CBS News, in his letter to Governor Pat Quinn and other legislators, Cullerton said, "The state could organize the first major poker pool, garner worldwide popularity, and position itself as a hub for multi-state and international iGaming".
Secondly, Cullerton believes that it is imperative to pass regulations before the federal government takes the lead. Currently, there is legislation pending in the U.S. Senate that, if passed, could preclude State's from reaping financial benefits if motions are not already underway if and when a federal law to regulate online gambling is passed.
While Cullerton has support from some of his colleagues, like Illinois Senate Gaming Committee Chairman, Terry Link – who cited Cullerton's legsilation as having "unlimited potential" that would not cut into business – others, like Senate Minority Leader Christine Radogno, have expressed caution rushing into a vote on Cullerton's proposal. Nor does Governor Quinn appear too keen on the idea of expanding gambling – in any form, at that. Having already expressed opposition to a proposal that would expand casino gambling and permit racetracks to offer slot machines, Governor Quinn's office openly stated they will not take a position on Cullerton's proposal so as not to distract from more pressing issues – namely, health care and public employee pensions.
Despite Cullerton's pressing, his proposal will very likely have to wait until the Senate commences once again. Whether or not this "delay" will put Illinois at a disadvantage in the long-term remains to be seen. In the meantime, Cullerton can rest assured that the Illinois State Lottery is liking this whole internet thing. Since March of this year, when online lottery sales went live in Illinois for the first time, the State has brought in almost $2 million in online sales alone.

The Daily BathDang it. Mom has decided I need a daily bath to keep my sores under control. So she's got this dumb toddler pool on the back porch and every day she makes me get into it. I don't want to get it, but she drags me in kicking and screaming. So I'm whining and crying and making a scene and she actually backs me in by bringing in my rear legs, which I don't have any control over. Kind of an unfair tactic. Then she washes me off with COLD water. I whine and whine and try to get out but to no avail. I have to stay in that pool for at least 5 whole minutes. Mom seems happy though when she looks at my sores. She says they are doing OK.
And now tonight, after the misery of the bath, I was subjected to having that boys' underwear placed on my legs and behind. At least there is a cutout for my tail. Mom says this is necessary to keep my sores from getting worse. Luckily I don't care what I look like it this ridiculous outfit.
Mom also says I am gaining weight. Heh heh. No wonder because she feeds me 3 times as much as Elsa the Meanie. But now she is going to cut back on my kibble. I hope I still get my daily banana!
Pictures coming soon. Mom is waiting for the eFilm connector to come back from repair.
