The sun, beginning to sink towards the horizon, casted relaxed shadows on the red dirt. The reflection of the sun on the water sparkled, and the wind blew just enough to rustle the bright green grass. It was the most beautiful evening, but not just because of the scenery and weather. Our team stood by the lake for a very special occasion – to celebrate the baptism of Francoise.
Francoise is a student in the Young Scholars program. She is also a true orphan, and some of the people who are left in her family have in the past neglected her. This day, she became a member of a real family. Because of the influence of the Young Scholars Program, she desired to study the Scriptures and came to a personal decision to be baptized. Before entering the water, she was asked to share her testimony. Being a shy young lady, she pondered her words carefully before giving a short, perfect, and unforgettable answer. "I am deciding to follow Jesus because I know he is the only Savior, and he is the only way to God, my father."
With that testimony and her confession of belief in Jesus as the son of God, she descended into the water, gave her life to Christ, and became an adopted child. An orphan found a father. As she walked out of the water with a bursting smile on her face, we sang "I have decided to follow Jesus" and shared wet hugs and words of encouragement.
"Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. God settles the solitary in a home." (Psalm 68:5-6)
This day, God, the father of the fatherless, welcomed an orphan into his great big family and settled her into a new home. She is no longer alone, no longer without a family. By the grace of God and the faithfulness of his saints to love her and share the good news of Jesus with her, there is one less orphan in the world tonight.

The ney (Persian: نی / نای), is an end-blown flute that figures prominently inMiddle Eastern music. In some of these musical traditions, it is the only wind instrument used. The ney has been played continuously for 4,500–5,000 years, making it one of the oldest musical instruments still in use.
"The Persian ney consists of a hollow cylinder with finger-holes. Sometimes a brass or plastic mouthpiece is placed at the top to protect the wood from damage, but this plays no role in the sound production. The ney consists of a piece of hollow cane or reed with five or six finger holes and one thumb hole. Modern neys may be made instead of metal or plastic tubing. The pitch of the ney varies depending on the region and the finger arrangement. A highly skilled ney player, called neyzen, can reach more than three octaves, though it is more common to have several "helper" neys to cover different pitch ranges or to facilitate playing technically difficult passages in other dastgahs or maqams.
In Romanian, the word nai is also applied to a curved Pan flute.
The typical Persian ney has 6 holes, one of which is on the back. Arab neys normally have 7 holes, 6 in front and one thumb-hole in the back.
The interval between the holes is a semitone, although microtones (and broader pitch inflections) are achieved via partial hole-covering, changes of embouchure, or positioning the angle of the instrument. Microtonal inflection is common and crucial to various traditions of taqsim (improvisation).
Neys are constructed in various keys. In the Arab system, there are 7 common ranges: the longest and lowest-pitched is the Rast which is roughly equivalent to C in the Western equal temperament system, followed by the Dukah in D, the Busalik in E, the Jaharka in F, the Nawa in G, the Hussayni in A, and the Ajam in B (or B♭). Advanced players will typically own a set of several neys in various keys, although it is possible (albeit difficult) to play fully chromatically on any instrument. A slight exception to this rule is found in the extreme lowest range of the instrument, where the fingering becomes quite complex and the transition from the first octave (fundamental pitches) to the second is rather awkward.
In the Arab world the ney is traditionally used in pastoral areas, showing a preference for smaller, higher-pitched neys. In general, lower-pitched instruments are used in scholastic and religious environments, including the Sufi tradition.

A slippery floor or other dangerous condition can cause a fall and a serious injury. Storekeepers and property owners have the responsibility to maintain safe conditions on their premises. When they don't, the victims of accidents have the right to demand compensation for their medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and pain and suffering. Successful premises liability lawsuits can also start from conditions other than a slippery floor, such as any hazardous condition in a property, improperly shelved merchandise, or poor security that results in a crime.
At The Law Offices of David P. Beeson & Associates, we help victims of slip-and-fall accidents get the compensation they need to rebuild their lives.
Our California Premises Liability Lawyers Advise That You Act Quickly to Preserve Evidence After a Slip-and-Fall Accident
After a slip-and-fall event, the property owner will often quickly clean up the conditions that caused the fall. To improve your chances of financial compensation, it is very important that you document as much as you can as soon as you can. Obtain the names and contact information of any witnesses, including employees of the property or store. Take photographs if possible. Notice if there are any security cameras in the area. Do not make any statements to the property owner or manager, and do not talk with any insurance company representative.
Client Testimonial: " David truly had my best interest as his main priority. He kept me well-informed at all times and obtained an excellent resolution of the matter."
- Attorney M.S.
Call The Law Offices of David P. Beeson & Associates as soon as possible after the accident. We can advise you as to your rights and the possibility of obtaining compensation.

The eight states north and east of California are preparing themselves for new record levels of fleeing Californians.
In response to having spent all of their substantial take from taxpayers, a coalition of 76 Democrats and 6 Republicans today passed a $13-billion tax hike. Nevada political pundits jealously coveted the plan's "stable tax structure."
The tax hikes include a full percent increase in sales tax, increasing the state income tax to 14%, and doubling car registration fees. The tax hike packages is about 65% the size of Nevada's 2003 tax hike package, on a per-capita inflation-adjusted annual basis.
Standard & Poor's has cut California's credit rating to last place amongst 50 states.

One good run
"Am I adrenalized?" I kept wondering as I walked to the starting point of my run. I really felt good! Yes, maybe it was the excitement about taking part in this virtual run that caused this, the idea of running at the same time with a number of other people who are in different places with different time zones yet joined together by their passion for the sport.
As I paced through my first kilometer, I decided that I would do a 10k out-and-back run which will bring me across the boundary to Barangay Saguing in the next town of Makilala and back to my starting point. It had a couple or so of hills including a roughly 1k climb back to the center of Kidapawan City.
I felt like I was in race pace mode during the first three kilometers. "It could be the downhills," I thought. But even when I was already negotiating the relatively steep ascent to Barangay Saguing near the end of my 4th kilometer, my pace still seemed fast. At the turnaround, my Timex Ironman Triathlon showed 25:58.50.
Now came the run back.
It was an ascent right from the turnaround, a slow gradual rise that goes almost the entire 1km distance. But this was not "it" yet. A descent to the Saguing Bridge follows, then a shorter but steeper rise, and a slow gradual ascent again from the 7th km to the Kidapawan City plaza, roughly a kilometer and a half in total distance. A slight descent to another bridge then precedes another climb to the 9th km point. This is the part that kills your legs, your knees, and your quads. Mine didn't die, but I knew I was having positive splits.
The last kilometer was relatively flat. I was soon back where I started. The old reliable Timex showed 54:52.93.
Back at the house checking on my lap times for the second half of the run, I took note of the following splits:
km6 5:56.36
km7 5:45.14
km8 6:04.50
km9 5:44.65
km10 5:23.78
I was slower today than last Thursday (54:30.51), but then I guess this was a tougher course. Already I am thinking of taking on this course again on next Thursday's virtual run.

Protect Your Home with Water Intrusion Services in Chicagoland, IL
What is water intrusion and how can I prevent flooding?
Water is always around the outside perimeter of your basement foundation wall. The reason for this is that we sit on a clay base under the topsoil where your foundation is located. Your home is designed with a drainage system built on the outside to direct the water away from the foundation and divert it to your sump pit. The sump pump then discharges the water outside your home to keep you safe and dry.
If your sump pump fails or you have a power outage, water will fill your sump pit and eventually your home. Even the unfinished basement will suffer potential loss as your mechanicals (furnace, water heater, and possibly laundry equipment) are subject to damage. Everyone dreads the word mold and rightfully so. Mold is now being found to cause many respiratory issues along with allergy issues.
To protect against this, a top quality primary sump pump and a battery backup sump pump system are your only real defense against Mother Nature.
Rapid Maintenance Inc. specializes in the latest technologies such as high volume sump pumps that are energy efficient, water alarms, dual float switches, and battery backup sump pumps designed to keep you dry.
Please give us a call at 847-882-9590 to discuss an affordable solution for your water problems!

Faculty Candidate Talk: Danai Koutra
What's in my data? Fast, Principled Algorithms for Exploring Large Graphs
Networks naturally capture a host of real-world interactions, spanning from friendships to brain activity. But, given a massive graph, such as the Facebook social network, what can be learned about its structure? Are there any changes over time? Where should people's attention be directed? In this talk I will present my work on scalable algorithms that help us to explore and make sense of large, networked data when we want to know "what's in the data". I will present how summarization and similarity analysis can help answer this question, and I will focus on two of my approaches "VoG" and "DeltaCon". VoG disentangles the complex graph connectivity patterns, and efficiently summarizes large graphs with important and semantically meaningful structures by leveraging information theoretic methods. DeltaCon is a well-founded, fast method that detects and explains changes in time-evolving or aligned networks by assessing their similarity. Both works are being used by industry, and give interesting discoveries in large real-world graphs.
Danai Koutra is a Ph.D. candidate in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon. She earned her M.S. from CMU in 2013 and her diploma in ECE at the National Technical University of Athens in 2010. She works on large-scale graph mining and devises algorithms and methods for exploring, understanding, and learning from graph data when the nature of the problem is not known in advance. She holds one "rate-1" patent, and has six (pending) patents on bipartite graph alignment. She also has many papers (including 2 award-winning papers) and tutorials in top data mining conferences. Her work has been covered by media outlets, such as the MIT Technology Review, and is being taught in courses at top universities, including the Tepper School of Business at CMU and Rutgers University.

Liverpool Property Market Never Stronger
As cities around the UK experience slowdowns in the housing market, one northern city is bucking the trend. With rising house prices, a strong rental market and major new developments set to create 38,000 homes under construction. Liverpool has one of the strongest prospects of any northern city.
Riding high on the effect of Liverpool's 2008 European Capital of Culture status, the city is enjoying rising house prices, a strong rental market and an employment boom.
Peel Holdings 0161 629 8200
Over the last three years, prices in the city have risen by 29% (Knight Frank) which is significantly more than in neighbouring areas, Regenerated areas such as Speke, Garston and Wavertree have seen the biggest price rises, while suburbs such as West Derby, Woolton, Aigburth, Calderstones and Mossley Hill continue to demand above-average prices.
Growth is strong across the whole of the city, with the city centre population set to rise from a current 9,000 to 20,000 by 2012 and over 85,000 more residents expected across the city as a whole within the next five years.
An average home in Liverpool now costs Ł155,598, which represents a 6% rise in the twelve months until January 2008. Such high prices are squeezing first time buyers out of the market, resulting in a growth of 5% across the rental market. However, buyers determined to get on the property ladder are still able to benefit from low prices in neighbouring areas such as Bootle, where an average home costs Ł113,581.
With employment on the up and prestigious new developments such as Liverpool Waters (pictured) and Wirral Waters set to draw even more investment into the city, it looks like 2008 will be Liverpool's best year yet.
