We are unwavering in our dedication to world-class research with international partners and we will continue to retain, develop and attract the best and brightest researchers from across Europe and the world.
Central to this vision is our determination to build successful relationships with the University's current and future EU and international researchers.
We pledge to:
Professor Dame Jessica Corner recently sent out a statement to staff on the Government's commitment to underwrite Horizon 2020 funding.
The diversity of our research activities grew out of a commitment to work with the brightest minds and the best organisations wherever they are in the world. This commitment has not changed: we collaborate with partners worldwide and will continue to do so into the future.
For at least two years, and possibly much longer as the UK's negotiations continue, nothing changes. Tuition fees agreed with current European research students will not be affected. This also applies to those due to commence study in the 2016/17 academic year.
If you want more information about how the UK leaving the EU may affect you as an EU student, please consult our international office pages.
In early December 2017, The UK Government and European Union Negotiators concluded phase one Brexit negotiations and published a joint report. Based on the joint report, and the agreement of the EU to move on to the second phase of the Brexit negotiations, it is understood that the UK will continue to benefit from EU programmes during the period 2019-2020 after formal Brexit, including from Horizon 2020.
It is expected that UK-based individuals and organisations will therefore remain eligible to bid for funding, participate in and lead consortia including for calls in 2019 and 2020. If an agreement is reached, projects approved during this period will be able to continue with an uninterrupted flow of EU funding.
Directly from the report:
"Following withdrawal from the Union, the UK will continue to participate in the Union programmes financed by the MFF 2014-2020 until their closure… Accordingly, the eligibility to apply to participate in Union programmes and Union funding for UK participants and projects will be unaffected by the UK's withdrawal from the Union for the entire lifetime of such projects."
While the fact that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed at the end of the negotiations leaves room for some uncertainty, this is nonetheless excellent news for researchers wishing to continue to apply for funding, and, in line with the statements from Professor Dame Jessica Corner, PVC for Research and Knowledge Exchange, the University fully encourages and supports participation in Horizon 2020 projects – be they European Research Council, Marie Sklodowska-Curie or multi-partner collaborative funding. More funding is available now than at the start of Horizon 2020 and support, including direct proposal preparation support, is available. Please contact Matthew Rackley in Research and Innovation if you are applying for EU funding or if you would like advice on EU funding or the support available.

Beliefnet is pleased to present the first 7 days of devotionals from Max Lucado's "3:16: The Numbers of Hope" (Thomas Nelson, 2007). This is Day 5 of the week-long devotional. If you missed the previous days, stay subscribed to this feed to start over at the end of the week.
"And the child grew and became strong;
he was filled with wisdom,
and the grace of God was upon him."
–Luke 2:40
When do we get our first clue that Jesus knows he is the Son of God? In the temple of Jerusalem. He is twelve years old. His parents are three days into the return trip to Nazareth before they notice he is missing.
The temple is the last place they think to search. But it is the first place Jesus goes. He doesn't go to a cousin's house or a buddy's playground. Jesus seeks the place of godly thinking and, in doing so, inspires us to do the same. By the time Joseph and Mary locate their son, he has confounded the most learned men in the temple.
As a young boy, Jesus already senses the call of God. But what does he do next? Recruit apostles and preach sermons and perform miracles? No, he goes home to his folks and learns the family business.
That is exactly what you should do. Want to bring focus to your life? Do what Jesus did. Go home, love your family, and take care of business. But, Max, I want to be a missionary. Your first mission field is under your roof. What makes you think they'll believe you overseas if they don't believe you across the hall?

Born from the ashes of the popular Windjammer Barefoot Cruises line, Island Windjammers aims to pick up where that company left off by offering small-ship cruises that are focused more on the joys of sailing than on shipboard amenities. Passengers can even take a turn at the helm of one of the cruise line's three ships.
250,000+ people have entered their email
Island Windjammers Cruise Highlights
Why Go?
Fleet includes three windjammer-style tall ships that carry 10 to 30 passengers
Casual and social onboard atmosphere
Fares include drinks and snorkeling equipment
Find a Cruise
Island Windjammers Awards
When Windjammer Barefoot Cruises went bankrupt in 2007, several die-hard Windjammer fans decided to raise money to buy their own boat. In September 2009, the group bought Diamant from Federico "Fiddi" Angermeyer, a tour operator in the Galapagos, and the first cruise sailed from Grenada's Port Louis Marina on November 15, 2009. The line added another one of Angermeyer's ships, Sagitta, in 2012. In November 2014, the cruise line acquired Tole Mour and renamed it Vela; which has thus sailed since December 2015.
Top Island Windjammers Ships
Island Windjammer's three sailing ships, Diamant, Sagitta and Vela, wholeheartedly embrace the concept of casual cruising. Swimsuits, cover-ups and T-shirts are typical daytime attire, and dressing for dinner usually means nothing more than putting on a clean shirt.
The fleet's three vessels are intentionally short on typical cruise ship amenities, such as fitness centers, spas and theaters. But with their gleaming wood salons, teak decks and intimate outdoor dining areas, they are big on atmosphere.
On a windjammer cruise, the upper deck is always a popular place to congregate, both when the waters are rough and for sunning when anchored. Diamant and Sagitta feature outdoor dining areas with cushioned benches, providing convivial alfresco dining, in addition to indoor dining rooms. Passengers can also use the space as an area to gossip, read and even nap. Vela, which begins sailing in December 2015, will have a spacious indoor dining saloon and an outdoor area for casual buffet meals on deck.
The three ships have similar shipboard dining routines, serving up three squares and a hearty snack daily from their tiny galley kitchens. For those used to specialty restaurants and endless buffets, the one-option menus on a sailing cruise might seem simple. But food on all ships is fresh and well above average, incorporating island flavors.
Standard double staterooms are compact yet cozy. All are air-conditioned, and even the smallest cabins have drawers and hooks for belongings. Sagitta and Vela feature Owners' Suites with en suite bathrooms. Diamant's Owners' Suite will debut in October 2016.
Sagitta and Vela also cater to solo travelers offering two tiny, private Solo Sailor cabins on each ship. The two solo cabins share a bathroom.
Cruise fares include all meals, snorkeling equipment, draft beer, wine and soft drinks.
Fellow Passengers
Come prepared to socialize; with so few passengers onboard, it's hard to be antisocial. Most cruises are a mix of solo travelers, friends traveling together and couples. While most passengers fall into the 40- to 60-year-old age range, there usually is a sprinkling of older and younger passengers. Discounted youth rates are offered in the summer.
Island Windjammers Fleet
Diamant, a 101-foot-long schooner, is the first vessel acquired by Island Windjammers. Accommodating only 10 passengers at maximum capacity, Diamant offers a mix of charters and booked-by-the-cabin sailings. Diamant was scheduled for a renovation in the summer and fall of 2016, and thus joined the fleet back in October 2016.
Built originally as a Swedish navy vessel, Sagitta is a 125-foot, three-masted motorsailer that accommodates 24 passengers. While crew members raise the sails, the vessel relies mostly on engines. Sails are used for auxiliary power.
Vela, formerly Tole Mour, is a 155-foot three masted sailing schooner that Island Windjammers acquired in November 2014. Vela was converted from a sail training ship to a passenger vessel, which debuted back in December 2015. Vela accommodates 26 people.

CALAPAN CITY, ORIENTAL MINDORO - The Volunteer Youth Leaders for Health - Philippines (VYLH-Philippines) and The UPLB Genetics Society (GeneSoc) expanded the reach of the K4Health (Kabataan for Health) Community Youth Training Program in Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro last July 1-2, 2017.
K4Health (Kabataan for Health) is a project initiated by the VYLH-Philippines and GeneSoc which promotes the mobilization of the youth towards the promotion of newborn screening, folic acid awareness, and birth defects prevention. The four "Ks" stands for "Kabataang Kabalikat ng Komunidad para sa Kalusugan," emphasizing the role of the youth in effecting change in our community.
Following the program's launch and the implementation of the project in Nampicuan, Nueva Ecija, GeneSoc in partnership with VYLH- Philippines, the City Government of Calapan (LGU Calapan), and Calapan City Health and Sanitation Department (CHSD) conducted the second K4Health Community Youth Training Program. The main objective of the K4Health Program is the formation of a community-based volunteer youth leader organization that will promote public awareness on various health concerns supported by the network and the LGU.
For the second edition of K4Health, 30 volunteer youth leaders (VYLs) were inducted - 26 Calapan City youth leaders and four GeneSoc volunteers. The four GeneSoc volunteers were Rozel Razal, Joana Marie Cruz, Sean Timothy Gacutan and Emil Louise Santos. Also on the list is Leann Suiton who was also part of the K4Health-Nampicuan team and was inducted last year.
|Volunteerism and Leadership. These are the 26 VYLs from Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro who are now part of VYLH-Philippines (Batch Kalilintad).
Similar to K4Health-Nampicuan, lectures on community development, youth leadership and volunteerism, local health situation and health advocacies were given by GeneSoc facilitators and invited lecturers. Discussions for the first day of training focused on the different advocacies of VYLH-Philippines while the second day focused on deepening the participants' understanding of the advocacies.
Aside from discussing the main advocacies of VYLH-Philippines (newborn screening, folic acid, and rare disease), a lecture on adolescent health sexuality awareness for teenage pregnancy prevention was given during the training program due to the alarming rates of teenage pregnancy in the city. In 2015 and 2016, 459 and 462 cases were recorded, respectively.
Meanwhile, one of the City Health nurses raised the potential challenges in the implementation of the DOH-DepEd Weekly Iron-Folic acid (WIFA) Supplementation Program in Calapan City. One of which is the need for waiver forms before they can give the vitamin supplement to high school students. The waiver and potential deferrals, according to her, will be a challenge in obtaining 100% coverage. Nonetheless, she hopes to receive help from youth volunteers to influence and disseminate the importance of taking folic acid.
Other activities were also facilitated such as hands-on activities, teaching demonstration and problem tree analysis which were designed to deepen and integrate the knowledge of the youth volunteers on three topics: folic acid, newborn screening, and teenage pregnancy.
The induction of the 30 new members to VYLH-Philippines and the election of VYLH-Philippines Calapan City Chapter officers culminated the two-day training program. The new set of volunteers were inducted as part of VYLH Batch Kalilintad, the Maranao word for peace.
|Advocacy in Action. The newly elected officers of VYLH-Calapan headed by Ms. Karizza Abacan. Also in the photo,

As part of the K4Health Partnership Framework, VYLH-Philippines Calapan City will be under the direct supervision of City Health Officer Dr. Basilisa Llanto and Population Officer (designate) Dr. Ma. Teresita Bolor of the City Health and Sanitation Department.
The K4Health program was sponsored by the City Health and Sanitation Department of Calapan, Rotary Club of Downtown Calapan, Rotary Club of Calapan, Oriental Mindoro Medical Society and alumni members of The UPLB Genetics Society.
The program was also supported by the Newborn Screening Center - NIH, UP Manila, Institute of Human Genetics - NIH, UP Manila, Provincial Health Office - Oriental Mindoro, and Population Commission - MIMAROPA through the provision of resource speakers and campaign materials.

The training program is the first K4Health and VYLH-Philippines youth camp in MIMAROPA.
The K4Health project, through GeneSoc, was recognized as one of the 20 National Finalists in the 14th Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations (TAYO) or TAYO Awards.

If you're living in Provo and haven't ever voted before, now would be the time. I don't really have a particular reason for that statement, and I'm mostly making it because I believe that everyone should take the opportunity to participate in politics, especially local politics. We over-hype Presidential Elections to the point where I think many of us forget the bodies of government affecting us even more closely on the local front.
Now I must admit that I waited until this morning to review this election season's Provo candidates, but hey, baby steps are where it all starts right?
I was initially very interested in learning more about the single female candidate for City Council, City-Wide II, Carina H. Wytiaz, and loved her candidate video responses. She did a great job looking directly at the camera when she spoke, which many might view as a ploy to connect with the audience, but in all honesty, her effort to even try to connect with the audience, proves that she really cares about the people she's representing and is confident that she can be an adequate voice for them, for us. I in fact was about ready to fill in her election bubble until I clicked on the next candidate's video, George O. Stewart.
George O. Stewart is an older man, with wisdom. I won't deny that I first saw him as a nice old man who might be a light of hope to our older Provo residents who I know have struggled with many of the modern changes that have come over the years. It's important to me to listen to everyone's opinion and so I tried to listen carefully to what he had to say. I soon to my chagrin, found out that Mr. Stewart had actually been the mayor of Provo for a term in 1993. He'd also been on City Council before and while you might be thinking experience…sure…"But he's an old person? What does he know?" He actually knows quite a lot.
His candidate video was not only a presentation of well thought out opinions and ideas but additionally explanations of where ideas for propositions came from and how exactly our city government works. For example – Did you know that we actually have 2 branches of government in our city? Watch his clip to learn more.
While I admire Carina H. Wytiaz for being the only woman on the ballot this year and her tenacity and her ability to relate to the young family and middle-aged community we have here in Provo, George O. Stewart knows what's up and I really feel like he'll be able to get more work done.
Don't get me wrong though, I still like Carina H. Wytiaz and for that reason wrote her in as a candidate on my District 5 ballot (sorry David Harding).
I hope you all take the time to research what these candidates stand for and the wisdom they carry. My feminist heart wants to vote Mrs. Wytiaz all the way for City Council, City Wide II, but ultimately, George O. Stewart's got my vote!
PS – Tomorrow, November 3, 2015 is election day! Get on out to those polls!
PSS – Where do I vote? Check out this link: http://www.provo.org/departments/city-recorder/elections

(PIX WEATHER CENTER)– What a great way to start March with mostly sunny skies and temperatures making a rebound to the mid to upper 30s.
Unfortunately most of what we saw today will be short lived. A potential winter storm is expected to impact the tri-state Sunday night into Monday.
An approaching cold front Saturday night and into Sunday will bring in a reinforcing shot of colder air. Out ahead of this front a band of very light snow and/or mix may develop.
No real accumulation is expected throughout the day Sunday.
It is not until Sunday night into Monday when things do become complicated.
As the cold front, associated with a strong high pressure system to the north, sags further south, a secondary wave of low pressure from the west will begin to develop and slide across it.
The question becomes how strong is this arctic front and where does the heavy band of snow set up?
Tracking all of these pieces is critical. If the arctic front is too overbearing as is suggested and pushes further south then there will be a very sharp cut-off as to how much snow does fall across northern sections of New Jersey, NYC, Long Island and Connecticut.
Now based upon the current trend the northern sections including NYC could receive between 3 to 6 inches of snow, while southern parts of New Jersey could see over 6 inches.
If the storm does take a more northerly track then a more significant storm is possible.
After Monday, things do settle down but temperatures remain below normal.

Ginger Tea shown to Naturally kill Cancer
Various cultures have been stressing on the numerous health benefits of ginger since ancient times from their own experience with the root. Ginger's use as a medicine has been observed since thousands of years, but it was only recently that science has been able to validate the amazing health benefits of this superfood. Ginger was traditionally used to treat various symptoms of cold, indigestion and nausea among many other things, but recent research has shown that Ginger is even effective at fighting cancer; 10,000 times more effective than Chemotherapy to be precise.
A recent research highlighted that 6-shogaol, a constituent produced when the ginger root is either cooked or dried shows some powerful cancer-combating activity. (Cite: Ginger cancer treatment) The study even showed that the cancer-fighting tendency of this compound only harmed the cancer cells while non-cancerous cells were effectively left unharmed. This is a crucial distinction from conventional cancer treatments like chemotherapy which tend to affect even non-cancerous and healthy cells, thus greatly harming the overall health of the patient.
The major distinction between conventional cancer treatments and treatment using ginger is that treatments like chemotherapy fail to harm or kill cancer stem cells which are essentially responsible for creating tumor forming cells, thus leading to greater chances of the cancer coming back again. 6-shogaol, on the other hand, has shown considerable promise in fighting these cancer stem cells, although further research is still required. The two types of cancer cells most susceptible to ginger have been observed to be the ovarian and prostate cancer cells.
Along with this recently observed cancer-fighting ability of Ginger, it has numerous other benefits too which makes it highly useful. Ginger possesses powerful antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties along with having high quantities of vitamin C, magnesium, and other minerals. It has also been shown to help with digestive health, boosting immunity, helping with asthma, cardiovascular diseases and relieving pain among many other uses.
Ginger tea, a beverage made by infusing ginger in tea is one of the best ways to make use of the numerous health benefits of the ginger root. Ginger tea is extremely effective in combating the onset of cold, boosting digestive health and boosting immunity. Another way to reap the health benefits of ginger is by drinking lemon ginger tea which boasts energy-boosting, immunity-boosting, and antioxidant properties. It can also help with improving skin and hair health, regulating blood sugar levels, improving cognition and helping with fever.
While ginger tea has many amazing health benefits, the concept of moderation also applies here. In small doses, Ginger tea is extremely beneficial and helps with many health issues, but if taken it large doses, it can cause heartburn, diarrhea and upset stomach. Some people can even have a ginger allergy or their stomach might be too sensitive for the powerful ingredients of ginger which might result in the above-mentioned side-effects even with small doses.

Something very special arrived in the post Friday morning. Apologies for not being able to show you all until now, but here it is!!!
Dark Harvest: the Legacy of Frankenstein - Resistance, all printed, published and pretty! :D
Right at the beginning of this book the Resistance comic I illustrated kicks off an introduction into the themes and tone of Dark Harvest, to refresh those returning to the RPG after the 1st book, and enlighten any newcomers.
Following the comic you'll encounter various single illustrations, four of which are mine, nestled amongst the text. Thats something I really like about this book, the page layouts are very well thought through and each page treats the eye with something. Be it an old paper scroll inset, annotations to the illustrations, or the subheadings in a different font to break up the text.
Then towards the end of the book the winning characters of the Create a Character competition are presented alongside the pencil illustrations I provided.
To be able to finally hold so many months worth of hard work and anticipation in my hands is astounding! I am so overwhelmed by how well the whole book has come together, it's such a joy to be able to flick through and not only encounter my own work, but that of others also, and see how each complements the subject and aesthetic of each page!
I'm so chuffed, not only am I now a thrice published illustrator, with this wonderful book to add to my portfolio, but I've also learnt many valuable skills and made firm friends on the way.
Iain, I'm very much looking forward to the next time we work together! :D
To top off this post I've another glowing review to share with you!
Shores of Night - Dark Harvest: Legacy of Frankenstein and the Resistance
This double review of the Dark Harvest core book and Resistance, the shiny beauty you see piccies of above, is by Steve Cotterill.
Here is what he had to say specifically about the comic:
"Turning to the Resistance, which starts with a lovely comic strip, so much kudos to Iain's team for getting that in place, we find a much deeper insight into those who defy the new order"

Details of temporary road changes set to be made in central London to manage the hundreds and thousands of visitors during the Olympic Games next year has been published.
Transport for London (TfL) sent out the maps and information on traffic plans for the Games zone in central London to residents and businesses in and around the place.
The Games' central London zone will be based around Hyde Park, Green Park and St James's Park.
Main changes include road closures, bus stop changes, wider road crossings, traffic and parking restrictions.
In order to allow more space for pedestrians during those days, some traffic lanes could be closed at certain times.
Peter Hendy, commissioner of Transport for London, said: "Central London's transformation into a major sporting venue does mean that some changes need to be made to roads and footways, and the maps and other information we've published today are the result of the work TfL and Westminster City Council have done to find the safest and most effective way to manage the area during the Games."

The Center for Information Technology and Development (CITAD) has since last year been holding a monthly inspiring and mentorship lecture for it's staff, interns, volunteers, associates, civil society advocates and young people from various tertiary institutions in Kano metropolis, the monthly interactive lecture titled "Inspiring Leadership Reflection Series (ILERIS)" usually hosts guests speakers from different backgrounds and professions who have an exciting life profile that may inspire youths to also succeed in their various endeavors. This month, the center features Dr. Musa Abdu Auyo, the librarian of Bayero University Kano as the guest speaker.
In his opening remarks, the Executive Director of CITAD Yunusa Zakari Ya'u said "we normally invite our guests on the basis of their struggles and success so that our participants can learn from their life experience, what they have gone through, what they encounter, how they solve these problems, the successes they recorded and so forth, so it's learning by experience, by getting people to tell their history, you get to have a feeling that all successful people are ordinary people, they are ordinary people who have gone through a series of developments from grass root up to where they are", YZ advised the participants to listen carefully and learn from the guest speaker in order to discover their dreams and work towards those dreams.
Taking the participants into his profile, Dr. Musa Auyo toured them into his academic background which began in the 1980s, unionism and activism for societal development and welfare and community service initiatives. Having served in forty different committees either as Chairman or Secretary, Dr. Auyo clearly noted that setting concrete principles and adhering to the principles is not only making one organized but sets standard and guidelines towards one's better conduct. Life is full of sweet and bitter experiences and they need to be managed prudently so that they are turned into benefits, Auyo observed. He responded to many questions and comments raised by the participants after his presentation.
The event ended with a closing a remark by CITAD's training coordinator Malam Ahmad Abdullahi Yakasai who thanked the guest speaker for finding time to attend the lecture despite his tight schedules and advised the participants to utilize what they learned from the guest's rich profile. The Center for Information Technology and Development presented some publications of the organization to the guest which Senior Programmes Officer Kabiru Saidu Dakata presented.

Psychological trauma occurs in response to an overwhelming event/s which an individual lacks the internal and external coping mechanisms to mentally deal with; this can lead to a very protracted period (months, years or, even, a life-time) of distress and impaired emotional, cognitive and behavioural functioning.
A person suffering from severe psychological trauma will incur negative effects on the brain, e.g. an increase in the level of stress-related neurotransmitters (neurotransmitters are chemicals which allow neurons, or brain cells, to communicate with each other) and negative hormonal changes (eg an increase in the production of adrenalin).
Also, due to the fact the effects of the trauma are so overwhelming for the susceptible individual, the brain's natural 'stress-reversal brake system' fails to work.
The experience of severe psychological trauma can, in this way, be seen as a PSYCHOBIOLOGICAL event resulting in activation of the sensory nervous system, the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system (the latter refers to the brain and the spinal cord).
The trauma response is different when it is of interpersonal origin – i.e. when a person (the perpetrator) hurts an innocent individual (the victim) – than it is when the trauma response occurs as a reaction to a natural disaster (eg an earthquake or flood).
The former results in COMPLEX-PTSD (complex post traumatic stress disorder) whereas the latter results in 'ordinary' PTSD (click here to read my article about the difference between complex-PTSD and 'ordinary' PTSD).
Because the child has very limited defenses against traumatic events (e.g. undeveloped problem-solving skills, meagre emotional and physical resources and, often, a poor social support system) s/he is especially vulnerable to the adverse effects of such events.
Furthermore, s/he will usually have no 'place of safety' to take refuge in and will, therefore, to all intents and purposes, be 'trapped' in the highly stressful home environment.
Whilst Social Services can intervene, often the child does not want this as it can disrupt the family and lead to the child being taken away from the family home. There is also the stigma to be considered and, unfortunately, in some cases, the extreme parental anger resulting from having been reported.
Being traumatized by the very person who is supposed to be caring, protecting and nurturing the child results, in many cases, in that child undergoing MASSIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA.
The development of a SAFE ATTACHMENT between the parent/caretaker and child is of FUNDAMENTAL IMPORTANCE to the child's emotional and psychological development and to his/her chances of growing up as a well-adjusted individual.
If such a safe attachment fails to form, the results can be catastrophic, leading to :
– identity problems
– lack of personal autonomy
– inability to control emotions
– self-hatred (click here to read my article on this)
– negative view of others
– inability to form/maintain relationships (particularly intimate relationships)
– pervasive and profound feelings of insecurity
– a feeling of being disempowered/dependent upon others
– deep and enduring feelings of irrational guilt and shame
– an inability to calm self in times of stress (sometimes referred to as an inability to 'self-soothe')
– reduced empathy for feelings of others
– concentration and memory problems
– feelings of being generally inept
– chronic somatic (physical) problems (eg headaches, stomach problems such as IBS)
Suffering trauma caused by a parent/'caretaker' is made even more painful and confusing because, often, the young person will feel ambivalent towards this parent/'caretaker'. To put it another way, there might exist a 'love-hate' relationship in which the child has conflicting and ambiguous feelings towards the adult.
Because of this, the child may lie to protect the adult or rationalize the adult's behaviour (e.g. by irrationally and falsely believing that s/he 'deserves' to be the victim of the adult's behaviour because s/he is 'bad'; this can occur because it can be psychologically preferable for the young person to see him/herself as 'bad' than to mentally cope with the idea that it is, in fact, the parent who is bad).

CNC Machining
Computer Numerical Control machining, commonly called CNC, means that all of the actions of the machining center are controlled by a computer program rather than directly by the human operator. The advantages of CNC machining are its consistency and speed, which make precision machined components more affordable. The critical factors in quality CNC machining are the integrity of the programming, the repeatability of the machining center and the construction of the fixtures which hold the parts.
At Dart, we use the highest quality machining centers money can buy and we write our programming and build our fixtures in house to ensure that the parts we produce meet our strict standards. We check and double check every step of the process so that when you buy Dart engine components, the fit and performance is second to none.

How to track external clicks with Google Analytics in Joomla
Over the past few years we have had many requests from Joomla community members for our Google Analytics plugin. None of them were more popular than tracking clicks to other websites, also called external clicks. That's why, during the first release of our Google Analytics PRO plugin for Joomla we made it our top priority to implement this functionality.
The functionality has been used by most of our plugin downloaders. That's why we would like to share some more insight into how the functionality works and where you can find the data in Google Analytics.
Why track clicks to other websites?
- It seems like an obvious question to some of us, but there are many reasons for you to track outbound clicks.
- Know where visitors go when they leave your websiteKnow how much support you offer to partner websites
- Get a better understanding of your bounce rate and time on site metric
- Some outbound clicks (ie affiliate clicks) are valuable to you financially
How clicks to other websites are being tracked
We built in an automatic way to track clicks to other websites. In our code we check on which domain the plugin has been installed. This tells us which destination a click to our website has. Just so we know which clicks we need to exclude from being tracked. All of the other clicks, going to different domains will be tracked with our plugin as outbound clicks.
The outbound clicks are being tracked as Google Analytics events. We'll show you where to find these Google Analytics events in your Google Analytics reports.
The Google Analytics reports for outbound clicks
The data is automatically captured once a click on an outbound link is made on your Joomla website. All you need is sign in to Google Analytics and find the data in your reports:
Go to the Content Overview section in Google AnalyticsClick on Events and click on the Top Events linkThere are two types of outbound events, text-link and image-link. Click on either type to see the clicks being made on themYou can also see the clicks to other websites by selecting the event action called outgoing_click. When you click through, you can see the links on other websites that your visitors went to.
Setting Google Analytics goals based on outbound clicks
It can be useful to track outgoing clicks as a goal, to make sure you can easily access the events and see how successful you are in getting outgoing clicks. Here's how you setup this goal in Google Analytics. You can also give the goal a value.
Bonus! Custom Google Analytics dashboard for outbound clicks
For some of our users outbound cliks are extremely important to keep an eye out for. For those Google Analytics users, we have made a custom dashboard to make it easier to monitor outbound clicks. Download the dashboard
Would you like to track clicks to external website from your Joomla website? Download our Google Analytics PRO plugin for Joomla for advanced Google Analytics tracking.

Magnet schools like Birch Grove Elementary School for the Arts offer specialized curricular themes that allow students to discover the artist, scientist, or leader within them; learn through their passion for the arts; explore or begin a career in health science; and expand their horizons through an internationally recognized global education. Magnet schools also provide opportunities to integrate our learning environments.
Magnet schools like Birch Grove Elementary School for the Arts are open to students living in any of the seven member districts of the Northwest Suburban Integration School District. Transportation is available to eligible students, in accordance with district guidelines.
Enrollment in the magnet schools is open to all students living within the seven-member school districts of Osseo, Anoka-Hennepin, Brooklyn Center, Buffalo, Elk River, Fridley, and Rockford.
Neighborhoods are redefined when we talk about magnet schools. A magnet school neighborhood includes students from other communities who have the same interests. What you will learn and how you will learn it frames the neighborhood in which you choose to learn and grow. It may be filled with future artists or dancers, scientists or technicians, diplomats or Rhodes Scholars.
There are no academic or other criteria for student selection. All students who apply will be placed if there are seats available. A lottery will determine placement if more students apply than seats available.

Easter 4 2012
Family Of Christ Presbyterian Church, Greeley, CO
John 10:11-18
In the history of the church, this the fourth Sunday after Easter, is known as Good Shepherd Sunday, and the texts for today reflect that.
In addition to the gospel text we just heard, the Psalm for today is the twenty-third, which almost everyone is familiar with:
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters;
He restores my soul.
He leads me in right paths for his name's sake.
The Psalm presents us with what I think is probably the most familiar image of the shepherd, the one who leads and protects the sheep, the shepherd as caring guardian.
But it's the image from the Gospel text, the image of the shepherd as the one who knows the sheep that caught my attention for this morning.
What makes the good shepherd the good shepherd is that he truly knows his sheep and they truly know him. In the same way that God the father knows Jesus, Jesus knows his sheep. And it is because he knows his sheep that he is willing to lay down his life for them.
It's that knowledge of those he cares for that differentiates him from the hired hand. The hired hand won't die for the sheep, the hired hand won't put himself between the wolf and the sheep, but will run away and leave the sheep to snatched by the wolf.
I've heard recently an objection to referring to ministers with the title "pastor," which means "shepherd," because it implies that we are all sheep who are expected to blindly follow our leader.
But if we change our view of shepherd from being the one who leads us to being the one knows us and the one that we know, then I think that objection goes away. We are no longer being lead, in spite of ourselves, but rather journeying together on a path that we have come to through mutual knowledge.
I love the feeling of being known. I love it when I go into Starbucks and they start making my Venti Soy Latte without my even having to ask for it.
I also love having friends that I can share inside jokes with, or know how I'm feeling by the tone of my voice or at a long distance by the tone of what I just wrote on Facebook.
It's that feeling of connection that I picture when Jesus talks about knowing his sheep and his sheep knowing him. The question is, are we who have been called to be part of his church going to be good shepherds for one another, or are we going to be the hired hands?
I've heard from a couple of people, including my mother, that they have no idea what the title of this sermon means. And you certainly would have been confused by the original thought I had for the title "The pros and cons of content based and collaborative recommendation engines in first century Palistine"
I didn't go with that because I didn't think it would fit in the bulletin.
What's a recommendation engine? I hear you asking. If you've ever spent any time on the internet, especially if you've ever done any shopping, you've run into recommendation engines, even if you didn't know that's what was happening.
How many of you have ever bought a book on Amazon? You know how after you've added the book to your cart it will say something like, "people who bought this also bought these books" and show you a number of books that it thinks you might be interested in? That's a recommendation engine.
If you watch a movie on Netflix, when you're done it will suggest other movies that it thinks you might want to watch. That's a recommendation engine.
There are two basic kinds of recommendation engines, although most that you run into are hybrids of the two.
One type are the content based recommendation engines, which look at the things that you've bought, watched or listened to, and try to find things that are similar. One of the most impressive of these is The Music Genome Project, which is associated with the Pandora music service. Workers at the genome project study individual pieces of music and grade them against a list of 300 to 500 attributes, or genes. Genes are things like the gender of the lead singer, what instruments are featured or rhythmic structures. All of those genes combine to create a vector quantity that represents the song.
When you go to Pandora and pick a song that you like, Pandora's computers look for other songs that have similar vectors and suggest them to you.
The other type of recommendation engine is collaborative. Collaborative engines ask you to rate movies or books, they then compare how you have rated those items to how other people have rated them and suggest things to you based on what those others have rated.
Netflix has used a collaborative model through most of their existence. In simplest terms, you rate ten movies on a one to five star basis, then Netflix' computers look in their database for other users who have rated the same ten movies with a similar number of stars and looks for an eleventh movie that you haven't rated, but which those others it found have rated highly and recommends it to you.
Recommendation engines are so valuable to e-commerce companies that in 2007 Netflix offered a million dollar prize to anyone who produce an algorithm that would outperform the one they were currently using by 10%. The prize was claimed two years later by a team of scientists at AT&T.
"But so what?" I hear you asking. Well, it occurred to me that recommendation engines are e-commerce sites method of tricking you into thinking that you're known. They want you to feel like you feel when you walk into your favorite coffee place and they already know what you want. They want you to feel like a regular.
They want you to feel that because they understand that everyone wants to feel like they are known, like they are more than just a number. They want you to think, "ooh, Amazon knows me so well," or "I love Netflix, they're always recommending great movies for me to watch"
Of course, the truth is that you are just a number to them; it's all done with algorithms and sleight of hand. They are the hired hands.
Last week we had our Mission Rally where we introduced the three areas that the session has identified for the church to focus on: Welcoming Community, Immigrant Justice and Exploring Justice through the arts.
For the first two, at least, knowing and being known are vitally important and I would caution against our falling into the trap of using the church equivalent of recommendation engines.
One way we could be a welcoming community, a route that I think many larger churches use would be to have a set of surveys for people to fill out and a set of checklists to make sure that people get put in the with the right groups and that their interests are met and that their skills are properly used. Then all you have to do when someone new shows up is have them fill out the right forms and send them to the right groups and committees.
That's a system that works to make sure that all the little square pegs get into the little square holes, but I've never been very good at being a square peg, and I think that a church using a system like that would keep me very busy, but I don't know that I would feel like they really knew me.
I'm grateful that that is not the idea that the people who have been working on the welcoming community piece of our mission focus have latched onto.
Instead, they have focused on building smaller communities, clusters, within the church where people will get to know the people in their group and eventually through the rotation of the membership of the clusters will get to know everyone in the church.
One goal of this knowing is to move our pastoral care efforts from emergency response to one where more quotidian needs are met. I know from personal experience that this church does very well caring for someone when they are hospitalized or grieving, but there are needs that fall into the gaps between those times that I hope the clusters will be able to address.
For the second focus, it's important to note that we didn't choose to focus on immigrant issues or immigrant charities, but we intentionally choose to use the phrase "immigrant justice"
What difference does that wording make? Well, if you've been paying any attention to this sermon you should be able to guess that the difference is in the knowing…
Charity is important, charity brings food to the hungry, services to the needy, but charity is what the hired hand does, charity requires very little growth or change on our part. Justice doesn't start until we stop doing things for the other and start standing with them, it doesn't start until we open ourselves up to the that they can change us and provide us with opportunities to grow. As long as they're clients that we provide services for, as long as we think of ourselves as reaching down to help those others, justice won't happen.
But when we enter into relationship with them, when they become our friends and we know them and they know us, then justice can begin.
One of the reasons that we have decided to start our immigrant justice focus by working on a community garden or orchard is the chance that it will give us to work alongside of the people, rather than for them. I don't think there's a better way to get to know people than to work together with them on a common goal.
It's not that the hired hand can't do good work or that recommendation engines can't lead us to interesting new discoveries, but if we're to be good shepherds for one another, we need to go beyond just checklists and algorithms. We need to move toward being in right relationship, to move toward truly knowing one another.
Last Sunday, at the mission rally I hope we started down the path of becoming good shepherds for one another, I hope that the outcome of all that will be greater knowledge of one another and of our immigrant friends.
Then, maybe, as good shepherds, we can lead each other to the still waters and walk together on the paths of righteousness for the Lord's sake.

Obama: 'We don't yet have all the answers'
Monday evening, President Obama gave the following statement about the explosions at the Boston Marathon
Good afternoon, everybody. Earlier today I was briefed by my homelandsecurity team on the events in Boston. We're continuing to monitor andrespond to the situation as it unfolds, and I've directed the fullresources of the federal government to help state and localauthorities protect our people, increase security around the UnitedStates, as necessary, and investigate what happened. The Americanpeople will say a prayer for Boston tonight, and Michelle and I sendour deepest thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims in thewake of this senseless loss.
We don't yet have all the answers, but we do know that multiple peoplehave been wounded, some gravely, in explosions at the Boston Marathon.I've spoken to FBI Director Mueller and Secretary of HomelandSecretary Napolitano, and they're mobilizing the appropriate resourcesto investigate and to respond.
I've updated leaders of Congress in both parties, and we reaffirm thaton days like this there are no Republicans or Democrats; we areAmericans united in concern for our fellow citizens.
I've also spoken with Governor Patrick and Mayor Menino, and made itclear that they have every single federal resource necessary to carefor the victims and counsel the families. And above all, I made clearto them that all Americans stand with the people of Boston.
Boston police, firefighters, and first responders, as well as theNational Guard, responded heroically and continue to do so as wespeak.
It's a reminder that so many Americans serve and sacrifice on ourbehalf every single day, without regard to their own safety, indangerous and difficult circumstances. And we salute all those whoassisted in responding so quickly and professionally to this tragedy.
We still do not know who did this or why. And people shouldn't jump toconclusions before we have all the facts. But make no mistake, we willget to the bottom of this, and we will find out who did this. We'llfind out why they did this. Any responsible individuals, anyresponsible groups, will fill the full weight of justice.
Today's a holiday in Massachusetts, Patriots Day. It's a day thatcelebrates the free and fiercely independent spirit that this greatAmerican city of Boston has reflected from the earliest days of ournation, and it's a day that draws the world to Boston's streets in aspirit of friendly competition.
Boston is a tough and resilient town, so are its people. I'm supremelyconfident that Bostonians will pull together, take care of each other,and move forward as one proud city, and as they do, the Americanpeople will be with them every single step of the way.
You should anticipate that as we get more information, our teams willprovide you briefings. We're still in the investigation stage at thispoint. But I just want to reiterate, we will find out who did this,and we will hold them accountable. Thank you very much.

By On Sep 09, 2018 Coloring Pages
You need to invest in your coloring hobby to reap the rewards! I don't mean you need to go spend your life savings on the most expensive art supplies or furnish part of your house with an art studio, I mean spend the time to allow yourself to become better at coloring. Most things in life take practice and coloring is no exception.
Find your space. Whether you are coloring for relaxation, to de-stress or simply for fun, you need a place where you are comfortable coloring. It doesn't have to be somewhere quiet (although that can certainly help if you want to get lost in your coloring page), there are plenty of coloring groups and meetups where adults who enjoy coloring can go to chatter and color at the same time, the important thing is find your own space, reserve some time, get a comfy seat and give yourself every opportunity to color in comfort.
From here you can start to think about more advanced techniques like shading, burnishing and blending colors and begin to work with some of the tools that the coloring professionals use. Remember, these techniques take time and practice to master – don't expect to be producing masterpieces over night, after all it took Michelangelo 4 years to finish the Sistine Chapel so give yourself at least a good couple of years of practice to produce your first coloring masterpiece!

Why Is It Necessary to Insure a Trampoline?
One of the best ways to enjoy outdoor games in your home back yard is to install a trampoline. For kids it is no less than a dream come true. Children of all ages love to enjoy jumping on trampolines. These offer a great way to have fun under the sun especially during cold days. However some risks are associated with this classic toy. Hence if you have trampoline at your home, make sure to insure it. Practicing safety measures and buying enough insurance will help you to enjoy jumping on trampolines without any tension.
How to get insurance for trampoline?
- Talk to your home insurance agent and find out whether your insurance provider covers house with trampoline. Go through the home insurance policy you have carefully and see whether trampolines are included or excluded in the policy. Make sure owning a trampoline doesn't void your existing home insurance policy.
- If trampoline is not automatically included in the policy ask your agent whether you can buy some additional insurance for trampoline. This will definitely increase the premium amount but it will offer adequate safety.
- If the existing service provider doesn't offer coverage for trampolines, you will have to search for other insurance providers. Small insurance companies usually don't cover houses with trampolines. In that case you will have to turn to large companies with history of covering trampolines.
- Before choosing a policy, ask for quotes from different companies that offer home insurance that includes trampoline coverage. Comparing several quotes will help you to choose the most cost effective policy.
Other safety measures to take
Getting insurance for the trampoline is not enough because it will be used mainly by kids. So you need to be more careful about it. Practice some safety measures. Add extra padding as well as nets to the trampoline to ensure the safety of your kids. This will reduce the risk of getting injured while bouncing on trampoline. If you have placed the trampoline outdoor you should build a fence in your garden or backyard so that uninvited guests can not use your trampoline.

The experiments were done primarily to answer ethical criticism in the ongoing debate over stem cell research, which holds promise for developing treatments for diseases but has generated opposition because the embryo is destroyed when stem cells are retrieved.
One team, working at the Worcester, Mass.-based biotech company Advanced Cell Technology, created embryonic stem cells by removing a cell from a growing embryo without seeming to harm the embryo, reported the Boston Globe.
Another team, based at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Mass., used another approach that involved genetic manipulations.
The teams worked separately, but the findings from both studies were published Sunday in the journal Nature.
Some specialists said neither alternative, in its current form, likely would be widely accepted because of the technical and ethical questions that remained, according to the Boston Globe.
The first new method still subjects a human embryo to a small risk, and the second involves deliberately creating an embryo with a disabled version of a gene that is crucial to normal development, reported the Washington Post.
The team disabled a gene, called Cdx2, in a skin cell taken from a mouse. That gene, normally not active in skin, governs the creation of the placenta during early embryo development, allowing the fetus to survive in the womb.
The team then fused the cell with a mouse egg whose own genetic material had been removed — a now commonplace cloning procedure that leads to the growth of an embryo in a lab dish, according to the Post.
Scientists are interested in embryonic stem cells because they have the ability to form any cell in the body, which helps research and could result in disease cures, but ethical questions arise over the creation of embryos for medical purposes.

Dynamics CRM Integration with SharePoint
SharePoint and Dynamics CRM are excellent two standalone products. Integrating Dynamics CRM with SharePoint is disappointing to say the least. It takes few clicks to integrate CRM and SharePoint, which creates folders in SharePoint, in the context of Dynamics CRM entities.
Uploading documents from CRM to SharePoint is cumbersome process. It creates cluttered and unorganized documents repository system, that does not help you to find your needed information, as documents and files are all over the place, stored in many folders, and with no content based metadata.
Many step to upload one file:
One step to upload files:
Folders naming and structure
Configurable folder system in SharePoint
Minimal Metadata
Configurable Metadata
CRM entities have attributes, some attributes link different records from different entities. These attributes are used by Dynamics SharePoint Organizer (SPO), as metadata columns in SharePoint.
Dynamics SharePoint Organizer has two main functions:
1. Upload documents to SharePoint, by emailing the documents to CRM Queue - READ MORE
2. Configurable system to upload files to SharePoint, with metadata from CRM records - READ MORE

VIEW from the BRIDGE
By Muncie
I am going to take a break again and at this time I do not know for how long. My Morger family lost another daughter, Lisa Morger Miller, Saturday morning 9/19/15. She was "a Fort Benton Girl" as loyal as could be. She loved Fort Benton and visited often to stay in the home she was raised in. She was a teacher, mostly 4th grade, and loved her students.
Many of you knew Lisa, went to school with her, and will remember her as the loving person she was.
It is difficult losing her after losing Audra four (4) years ago and my Sweetheart Wally a year and a half (1½) ago. Audra and Lisa were much too young but we do not have choices. I just keep saying, "Enjoy every minute of every day."
If you haven't already seen it, drive by the Ag Museum and the mural that is being painted by Jeanette, a very talented artist, amongst many other hats that she wears. Her artistic talent was purchased at a silent auction in Billings. I am involved because she is staying with me. She is the Operations Manager of the Moss Mansion in Billings, teaches, volunteers, and is a mother to a 5 year old and 11 month old. (I thought I was busy and I certainly do not have the energy.)
It is now Monday morning and Jeanette made a last minute check at the Ag. She put in an over 12 hour day yesterday to finish the work. See Bethany's picture and interview in this paper.
Reader's, this mural is absolutely awesome. You know that I use awesome when something is perfect. It takes your breath away when you see the detail. The outside lighting does more for the mural than inside the Convention Center wall with artificial lighting. Convention Center is my name for the big room at the Ag.)
Take yourselves, your children, and your grandchildren to see this mural. It is not only a lesson in art but in history and homesteading. Your Kiddos will love it because of the deer and lamb that are in the picture. Women will love it because of the daisies and men will love it because of the horses and the farm house. I think that about covers it. I hope that it means as much to you as it does to me.
I have a correction from last week. I reported that the Butter Braid (I even had the name wrong as Braided Bread) had three (3) flavors. Actually there are several more to choose from.
Members are to pick up their order forms a.s.a.p. at the Library. They are to be turned in by October 22nd and the bread will be delivered at the November meeting. Yummy!
Last Tuesday's late afternoon dinner was the first of the season at the Golden Age Senior Center. It was well attended and the guest speaker was Marta Ferguson. She was a "hoot" and kept us laughing at stories about the High School and the students. (Don't worry Kids, there was nothing incriminating and no names were mentioned.) It was one of the most entertaining evenings I have spent lately. Go Marta-Horn. (Now don't you students start calling her that because I will be blamed? I have writer's privilege.)
I know that there are items I am forgetting to tell you about but at this time I cannot think what they are. You all take care of yourselves, be careful and cautious in everything you do, play your sports for the fun of it, and remember that you are only young once.
50's HOME SCHOOLED
My mother taught me HOW TO BECOME AN ADULT. "If you don't eat your vegetables, you will never grow up."
GOD BLESS AMERICA, MONTANA, FORT BENTON, OUR TROOPS, POLICE FORCES and WEAR RED ON FRIDAYS.

Vegetable Broth Base
From Vegetarian Essentials
Why This Recipe Works
A good vegetable stock is an important ingredient to have on hand, but supermarket offerings don't taste like vegetables, and traditional homemade versions are expensive and time-consuming to make. In our recipe, we grind a selection of fresh vegetables, salt, and savory ingredients to a paste that we can store in the freezer and reconstitute as needed. Leeks provide good allium flavor, and a small amount of freeze-dried onions support the fresh flavor of the leeks. Tomato paste and soy sauce provide an umami boost.

THE Kwara State Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) leader Mohammed Dele Belgore (SAN) has commiserated with the government and people of Oyo State over the death of former Governor Lam Adesina.
Belgore, the Kwara ACN governorship candidate in the 2011 poll, said Pa Adesina's "glittering sense of modesty" stood him out in an era and society dotted with corrupt and arrogant politicians.
A statement by Belgore's media aide, Rafiu Ajakaye, quoted him as saying: "We commiserate with the government and people of Oyo State on the death of the former Governor Lamidi Adesina. Pa Adesina's death, no doubt, is a great loss to the people of Oyo, our party ACN and of course the entire country, as it marked the exit of one of the last men standing in the history of this young democracy and our people's pursuit of good governance.
"We, however, find comfort in the fact that in an era where corruption, questionable wealth and arrogant display of same stand many people out, Pa Adesina would be remembered for belonging in the ranks of those who helped the course of liberty, democracy and good governance – and he did all these with glittering sense of modesty."

Thailand night buses: be alarmed!
This is a short post from Thailand with a warning for my fellow travelers. Be very careful and alert when you travel by night buses in Thailand, especially those leaving from Khao San Road! Prices do seem to be very cheap and attractive (we ended up paying only 800 Baht = 20€ from Bangkok to Koh Phi Phi). Read More →
Koh Chang: best spots for sunset
Koh Chang is one of the nearest island from Bangkok. It takes 6 hours with the bus or 4 hours with the mini bus from Bangkok till Trat, the city from where you would have to take the ferry.

Smoking Chimp reviews a book by former US soldier Joshua Key, who deserted from the army and ran away to Canada because of the things he did and saw in Iraq. His application for refugee status in Canada has been rejected and he faces deportation to the US. In his book, he says:
"My own moral judgment was disintegrating under the pressure of being a soldier, feeling vulnerable, and having no clear enemy to kill in Iraq. We were encouraged to beat up on the enemy; given the absence of any clearly understood enemy, we picked our fights with civilians who were powerless to resist. We knew that we would not have to account for our actions."
"... the American military had betrayed the values of my country. We had become a force for evil, and I could not escape the fact that I was part of the machine."
"How would I react if foreigners invaded the United States and did just a tenth of the things that we had done to the Iraqi people? I would be right up there with the rebels and insurgents, using every bit of my cleverness to blow up the occupiers."
(Quoted here.)
It's easy to forget that bad things happen in wartime not just because bad people go to war, but because war makes even good people turn bad.
