Celebratory firing is a tradition of KSA and all other Middle East countries. It has resulted in several incidents, loss of lives and financial grievances. People residing in KSA consider it as an essential part of showcasing their wealth and status to fire in order to let other know that they are so happy for something. During previous decades, despite of many incidents, authorities took no action over this deadly tradition. From now onwards, court has pronounced severe punishment for people who adopt celebratory fire as an expression of happiness or pride.
With regard to the matter of celebratory fire, Saudi court has pronounced one month imprisonment as he had shot fire in air for celebration. In the same case, court has also ordered 100 lashes for a person who tried to defend the guilty of celebratory fire and helped him to escape from occasion. The Police spotted his license plate and after enquiring registration number, he got arrested later and court announced imprisonment for him. Celebratory fire is a deep rotted tradition of KSA especially during happy occasions. Last year during a wedding, a group of participants tried to celebrate occasion by firing shots in air. The shot missed and resulted in death of two people along with several injuries. The injured persons immediately taken to hospitals despite of this few persons could survive.
This is not the only incident of death happened due to fire shots in air, there are number of cases where people lost their lives due to this harmful tradition to show off wealth and status. With enhanced level of awareness among Saudi natives, a major portion of Kingdom population has realized the danger associated with this tradition. Still resident of various side areas and those who belong to wealthy families never let even a single occasion go without showing their expertise in celebratory fire shows. Recently a video became viral on social media which showed a clip of wedding. The bride and groom were walking in marriage venue meanwhile the groom's brother who was also walking alongside with a Kalashnikov started firing in air.
As the couple proceeded, the groom's brother kept on showing his skills in fire shot. While firing with pride and over confidence gesture, the shooting person lost control of Kalashnikov. Consequences were unleashing of hails of bullets and people started running here and there in order to get an escape from the shots of out of control weapon. Though there was no loss of life shown in that video clip, still it indicated a grave danger associated with this deadly tradition.
The Saudi courts have issued zero tolerance policy against fire shot shows and such celebrations. In order to ensure compliance with law of ban on celebratory fire incidents, the court has ordered police and regulatory authorities to supervise palaces, wedding halls and related areas where people may try to celebrate gunfire shots. It is not only prevalent in KSA or Middle East; natives of North and South America have also been suffering from such deadly traditions.

As Bleach is coming to a close this week, I've been thinking a lot about the One Piece series and its place in the manga world. One Piece is undoubtedly the king of the current manga scene, with possibly only Dragon Ball eclipsing it in terms of its cultural reach. It's especially popular in Japan, and it's had a bit of a rocky going in the West unlike Naruto and Bleach, but its popularity there is only growing. With Bleach ending, One Piece is the only member of the Big Three still running, and is very likely to go on for at least 10 more years. And what makes it even more interesting is that it still feels fresh after all this time, and people are excited to keep going, in contrast to Naruto and Bleach which debuted after One Piece and ended much sooner than it will, yet many people grew extremely exhausted and aggravated towards them at their ends.
But the focus of this blog isn't really to detail One Piece's place in the whole world, but its place with you. Out of all the manga you read, where does One Piece fit into that scheme? Is it your favorite manga ever? Do you only read it in your spare time? Do you hate it and read it just to mock it?
For me, I can without a doubt say that One Piece is currently my favorite manga. I don't read that much manga, so my decision may not be as detailed as some of yours, but I haven't yet read anything that can knock it of. I enjoyed reading Naruto and Bleach for the most part, but their stories, characters, and worlds don't come close to One Piece's. The other manga I read are mostly smaller ones that are much shorter, and while I really do enjoy some of them (especially Slam Dunk and Death Note), they can't quite reach One Piece's scope.
What is your opinion of One Piece in comparison to the other manga you read? Comment below!

If you are looking for the best power window kit for your vehicle, you're looking for an Electric Life kit. Electric-Life power window kits are a FACTORY REPLACEMENT TYPE kit, meaning that in contrast to the SPAL Universal type window kit, the Electric-Life kits are a direct bolt-in replacement for the factory window regulator, using factory style motor, transmission, mounts and hardware, insuring an installation that is the equal to any factory power window installation. Our kits are sold in PAIRS and include all wiring and switches (shown below). Pricing reflects a TWO-WINDOW KIT. Please call 253-297-4570 for 4-door window kit pricing.
APPLICATIONS: Select late-model vehicles are eligible for Electric-Life power window kits. Please call 253-297-4570 for a quote and we will check our extensive application charts and offer an Electric-Life kit when it's available for your vehicle. When a custom-fit kit is not available, the SPAL universal window kit can almost always be installed.
The 3 samples below depict the 3 basic styles of window regulators. While all of the kits are built upon 1 of the 3 basic styles, each kit is different and will fit only 1 particular vehicle. Our kits typically use mechanisms similar to the factory, for the best fit possible.
|This Chevy Astro Van kit uses a scissors style regulator. The scissors regulator has remained the most popular style of window regulator, used almost exclusively until the 80's.
|This 1990 Volkswagen Golf kit uses a goldie cable style regulator. This style of regulator was used in some Jeep vehicles and drives all of our EL series Street Rod flat glass kits.
|This 1995 Volkswagen Golf kit uses a bowden cable style regulator. Many late model vehicles, including Ford, Chrysler & GM use bowden cable regulators. Even the popular Chevy pickup uses this style of regulator. This is fast becoming the most popular regulator style on the market.
Custom Kit Highlights
|For over 25 years, Electric Life has brought high quality
OE style power window kits to the aftermarket
|Surface mount switch pods need less than 1/4 inch mounting depth
|2 door flush mount switch kit for center console or dash mounting.

Fireworks are beautiful,
but they are deafening to humans and absolutely traumatizing to
many dogs (and cats).
If you have a fearful dog (or cat), especially sensitive to sounds,
PLEASE...be sure to do the following:
Make sure your dog is secure and can
not escape or run loose should he/she get spooked. An infinite #
of dogs disappear each year due to open doors, windows and
gates, even tie downs (which are generally cruel during firework
season). Many dogs bolt and in their frenzy run and run
and run.
2. If you have medication to calm your
dog, be sure and give it ample time to kick in.
3. If possible, do not leave your dog
4. Be sure and have back ground music
or white noise to help deflect the intensity of the booms of the
5. Give your dog access to a basement
or even a big closet or stall shower where they may feel safest.
6. Cover his or her crate if they
prefer to go into their crate during storms or fireworks.
7. Try going for a drive with your dog
if you know there is going to be fireworks in your neighborhood.
Often, dogs who love car rides look forward to this and are not
as jolted by the noise. Be sure and have your radio on!
8. COMFORT YOUR DOG! If your dog
is worried and unsettled, IT IS OK to comfort your dog. You will
NOT be rewarding an undesirable behavior. YOU WILL BE SOOTHING
his emotional response and supplying oodles of sense of
9. If you have a
or Anxiety wrap or even a teeny tee shirt, put it on your dog.
10. Have a drink or what ever relaxes
YOU and bite the bullet. If you are calm, it will help
your dog tremendously. Try your hardest to jolly up your
dog and engage him/her in an activity that they usually go
ga ga
over. Have DYNAMITE (no pun intended) treats on hand.

Health state preferences associated with weight status in children and adolescents
Childhood obesity is a substantial public health problem. The extent to which health state preferences (utilities) are related to a child's weight status has not been reported. The aims of this study were (1) to use a generic health state classification system to measure health related quality of life and calculate health utilities in a convenience sample of children and adolescents and (2) to determine the extent to which these measures are associated with weight status and body mass index (BMI).
We enrolled 76 children 5-18 years of age from a primary care clinic and an obesity clinic in Boston MA. We administered the Health Utilities Index (HUI) and used the HUI Mark 3 single- and multi-attribute utility functions to calculate health utilities. We determined BMI percentile and weight status based on CDC references. We examined single-attribute and overall utilities in relation to weight status and BMI.
Mean (range) age was 10.8 (5-18) years. Mean (SD) BMI percentile was 76 (26); 55% of children were overweight or obese. The mean (SD) overall utility was 0.79 (0.17) in the entire sample. For healthy-weight children, the mean overall utility was higher than for overweight or obese children (0.81 vs. 0.78), but the difference was not statistically significant (difference 0.04, 95% CI -0.04, 0.11).
Our results provide a quantitative estimate of the health utility associated with overweight and obesity in children, and will be helpful to researchers performing cost effectiveness analyses of interventions to prevent and/or treat childhood obesity.
Childhood obesity is a substantial and growing public health problem
One well-accepted economic method for quantifying people's value for health is to measure health preferences or utilities, numerical scores that represent the value an individual assigns to a particular health state, with 1 representing full health and 0 representing death
Certain generic HRQOL survey instruments allow the classification of health status as well as calculation of health utilities associated with the health status. The Health Utilities Index (HUI)
Study design and participants
For this cross-sectional survey, we recruited children 5-18 years of age who were attending well-child appointments at an academic children's hospital-based primary care clinic in Boston, MA (n = 72), and children attending a specialty obesity clinic located in the same clinical area (n = 4). We excluded families seeking care for acute medical conditions, and families who could not complete the study questionnaires in English. Study staff provided eligible families with a letter that described the study. Consent was obtained when the parent and child verbally agreed to complete the study interview. The Children's Hospital Boston human subjects committee approved the study protocol.
Health status and utilities
To measure health status, we used the Health Utilities Index ( HUI, Health Utilities Inc., Dundas ON, Canada)
Using the Mark 3 scoring algorithm
An advantage of the HUI over many other instruments that measure health status in children is that, in addition to measuring health status, the HUI provides a weighting algorithm to calculate health utilities. While health status is a description of a particular state of health, health utilities reflect the value or preference given to the state of health. A health utility is a single summary score that incorporates all positive and negative aspects of the health state. Single attribute utility scores range from 0 (most disabled) to 1 (non-disabled). For multi-attribute utility scores, 0 represents death and 1 represents perfect health; scores less than 0 are also possible and represent health states considered to be worse than death. The HUI algorithm assigns utilities to health states based on preferences elicited from a large community sample
The HUI is recommended for children age 5 years of age and older, and can be given as a self-assessment (8 years and older) and/or by proxy, such as a parent, who answers questions on behalf of the participant (5 years and older). Proxy respondents are used commonly for young children and others who, due to cognitive limitations, cannot respond reliably to the questionnaire. We administered the proxy version of the HUI to a parent of all participants. For participants 8 years of age or older, we also administered the HUI self-assessment directly to the child
As part of routine clinical care, nurses or medical assistants weighed participants with a regularly calibrated digital scale (Scale-tronix model 6002, White Plains NY) and measured them with a stadiometer (Perspective Enterprises, Portage MI). From the electronic medical record, we abstracted measurements obtained the same day that participants completed study questionnaires, as well as the calculated BMI (kg/m2).
Medical history and sociodemographic information
Parents completed a short questionnaire regarding the child's medical history including diagnoses and medications, and sociodemographic information about the family.
For our main analyses, we used the HUI Mark-3 (HUI3) single- and multi-attribute utility functions
We first examined correlations of self- and proxy-reported utility values by calculating Spearman correlation coefficients and p-values. Next, we calculated median and mean utility values in each weight status group (healthy weight and overweight/obese) and the difference between means. Due to the non-normal distribution of the utility data, we used bootstrapping
In the overall sample, mean (standard deviation, SD) age was 10.8 (3.3) years with a range of 5-18 years. Mean (SD) BMI percentile for age was 76 (26) and 55% of participants were overweight or obese. Table

IQR is interquartile range and CI is the bootstrapped 95% confidence interval.
We performed additional analyses in participants 8 years of age and older using HUI3 utilities calculated both from self- and proxy-assessments (Table
Similar to the HUI3, in secondary analyses using HUI2 utilities, we found that for children 8 years and older, the overall utility trended higher in healthy weight participants compared with overweight/obese participants (0.89 vs. 0.85, difference 0.04, 95% CI -0.02, 0.09).
We also used our estimates for the mean overall utilities and SD's in the normal weight and overweight/obese groups to calculate the sample size needed to detect the difference in utility that we observed, assuming a normal distribution
In this study, we used a generic heath state classification system to collect pilot data on health status and calculate health utility values in a convenience sample of healthy weight and overweight/obese children and adolescents. As expected, we observed a somewhat higher overall utility value among healthy weight participants. Although our results did not reach statistical significance, our aim was to provide a quantitative estimate of the decrease in utility associated with overweight and obesity status in childhood, as well as the degree of uncertainty around that estimate.
While health status describes a particular state of health, the utility value associated with a health state represents the value placed by the individual - or by society - on that health state, and is used to calculate the quality adjusted life year (QALY), an important component of cost-effectiveness analysis. A valid estimate of the health utility value associated with overweight/obesity is important in the area of obesity prevention and treatment given the large number of interventions being developed in response to the obesity epidemic, and the need to prioritize resources for the most efficient interventions.
Although several studies have reported utility values associated with overweight and obesity in adults
A main finding of our study was that overweight/obese children have a health utility value 0.04 points lower than healthy weight children. Differences of 0.05 on the HUI are thought to be clinically meaningful, and some investigators report that differences as small as 0.03 may be important
Of note in our study, parent ratings of their overweight/obese children's utility was higher than the children's own rating, whereas for normal weight children, parents' and children's own ratings were similar. Several studies suggest that parents frequently misperceive their children's weight status, tending to classify their overweight or obese children as being of healthy weight
We could identify only one prior study that used the HUI in the setting of pediatric obesity research. The APPLE Project
Generalizability of our findings may be limited by our use of a convenience sample, which was drawn from primary care and obesity clinics at an urban academic children's hospital. Additionally, the relatively small number of obese children in our sample limits our ability to compare utilities between overweight and obese children. A strength is that we used a well-validated instrument to measure health status and calculate health utilities, a method which is substantially less time-intensive and costly than direct measurement. Our results also allow the calculation of the sample size needed to detect the difference in health utility between normal weight and overweight/obese children and adolescents, approximately 182 participants in each group.
Ours is the first study to report health utility values associated with childhood overweight and obesity. Using the HUI, we found that overweight and obese children and adolescents trended towards lower utility values that healthy-weight children. We believe that by providing a quantitative estimate of the decrease in health status associated with overweight and obesity in children and the degree of uncertainty around that estimate, our findings will be of particular use to researchers assessing cost-effectiveness of childhood obesity prevention and treatment interventions.

Ever wonder how having a growth mindset impacts participation in STEM fields such as game design and coding? Zulama game designers met with growth mindset experts in a google hangout to find out.
"If you're going to grow [and] improve your school, embracing the honesty of student voice is crucial in empowering students to become partners in that process." -Nikki Hinostro, Director of High Tech Middle School
High Tech High's name has become synonymous with project-based learning and 21st Century Skills. The 13-school network in San Diego attracts thousands of visitors each year who come to find inspiration for their own classrooms and school models. So where does a successful school system look when its leaders want to target and prioritize areas for growth? To outside consultants? Academic researchers? Or to those who have the largest stake in school success - the students themselves?
A growth mindset – the knowledge that one becomes more intelligent with effort - is being recognized more and more as something that we can cultivate in our students. If you would like some help getting started with cultivating growth mindsets by helping students learn about effective effort, this post is for you.
What Is Effort?
At the most basic level, effort means you are trying. In my experience though, students claim that they are trying, and may believe that they're trying, but they do not know what trying effectively actually looks like. To many students, trying is merely thinking about doing the work, or finding a friend (or the Internet) to get answers from. For example, there are many students who have a hard time seeing the difference between doing math and copying someone else's math, or between helping someone with a task and just giving him the answer. They think they did their homework even though they may have copied most of it from the board or from a friend. One thing I tell students is "That is like tracing a picture – you traced your homework, you didn't "do" it."

PCI compliance refers to meeting and adhering to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) established by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC), an alliance of the five major credit card companies — Visa®, MasterCard®, Discover®, American Express® and JCB International®. PCI DSS lays out for all merchants who process, store or transmit credit, debit or prepaid card information the steps to take to maintain a secure transaction environment.
As a leader in secure electronic payments, TransFirst® supports and promotes PCI compliance with a program that provides a number of services that help merchants become and remain compliant, even as PCI DSS requirements change.
The TransFirst PCI Compliance Program consists of several important and comprehensive components:
It's important to understand that while PCI compliance is an important protection for both merchants and cardholders, there is no law requiring it. However, PCI compliance is a contractual obligation between merchants and the major card brands.
Although the PCI Security Standards Council does not impose consequences for non-compliance with PCI DSS, the individual payment brands can and do impose fines and/or operational sanctions that could be disastrous for your bottom line and your reputation with acquirers, payment brands and customers. Additionally, several states already have PCI compliance laws on their books, and more are expected to follow.
PCI compliance is not an expensive proposition or one that requires a great deal of effort on the part of the merchant; it is a great investment in security and peace of mind. TransFirst stands ready to instruct and support our merchants in that investment. Knowing what PCI compliance is and how to achieve it is vital to the future of your business on a number of different levels, so we provide in depth information on our exclusive Compliance101.com website.
On the surface, mandatory PCI compliance may seem complicated, even burdensome or intrusive on the way you run your business. But think of it this way: PCI compliance equates with security for both you and your customers. Isn't a little effort and diligence on your part a small price to pay for peace of mind when your livelihood is at stake?
At TransFirst, we understand the ins and outs of PCI security compliance and are ready to help with services to ensure that your credit card processing meets all the established criteria.
The comprehensive operational and technical requirements laid out in the PCI DSS establish consistent measures for data security management, policies and procedures, network architecture and software design. Businesses and small merchants are required to process, store and transmit cardholder data (cardholder name, account number, service code and expiration date) as well as sensitive authentication data (magnetic stripe or chip data, CVV code and PINs) in compliance with these requirements so that it is kept private and secure.
Since online transaction and credit card fraud continue to be major threats to businesses, PCI compliance is crucial. That's why it's required of all entities with a Merchant ID (MID), from the largest big-box stores to the smallest mom-and-pop shops and everything in between. Additionally, all "players" in the credit card payment chain must be PCI compliant, including payment service providers like TransFirst, banks and hosting providers.
It's important to realize that PCI compliance is an ongoing process, not a one-time event in your business life. Consider it a series of common sense, "best practices" steps that all merchants should follow as part of their security strategy. The three steps for adhering to the PCI DSS as outlined by the PCI SSC are:
Check with your payment brand or merchant account provider for the exact PCI security compliance requirements for your company or business. TransFirst provides information about PCI compliance requirements in general only.
Understanding the basis for PCI DSS will go a long way towards dispelling any concerns you may have about the process. Fundamentally, PCI DSS establishes six basic principles:
There are four levels of PCI compliance; your level is determined by the number of electronic transactions you process each year.
Level 4
Small businesses — those processing less than 20,000 e-commerce transactions and less than 1 million other transactions annually — fall into this category. Level 4 businesses must complete an annual risk assessment using the appropriate PCI Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ).
Level 3
Mid-sized companies generating between 20,000 and 1 million transactions annually require an annual risk assessment using the appropriate SAQ.
Level 2
Companies at this level handle between 1 million and 6 million transactions annually. A PCI SAQ must be completed each year.
Level 1
Big-box stores and other major corporations with a minimum of 6 million transactions per year must conduct an annual internal audit with a qualified PCI auditor. Quarterly PCI scans, administered by an approved scanning vendor, may also be required for businesses at all four levels.
Whatever your level, TransFirst's Transaction Express® can reduce your PCI burden and help you achieve and maintain compliance by enabling you to easily accept payments with maximum security. This web-based payment gateway's secure processing platform is fully PCI compliant and ideally suited for merchants of all sizes.
Transaction Express's features and services are designed to meet your unique needs and expectations. For example, through its tokenization service, Transaction Express's hosted payment page eliminates the need to store card data altogether by sending back only minimal information such as transaction and reference IDs and an authorization code.
By fully complying with PCI DSS, you significantly decrease your risk of electronic data fraud that could seriously jeopardize or damage your business brand, reputation and finances. Just one data breach can cause a cascade of lost sales, cancelled accounts, destruction of business and community relationships, high-stakes lawsuits, insurance claims, and expensive fines and sanctions by individual payment brands.
As a merchant, you know that doing business is based on trust between you and your customers. Consumers who believe their sensitive credit or debit card information is safe with you are more likely to return and to refer other business your way. PCI compliance helps establish that important level of trust and feeling of security.
Compromised electronic data negatively affects everyone involved: merchants, consumers, service providers and financial institutions. By achieving PCI compliance, you're taking responsibility for keeping the data entrusted to you safe from fraudsters and thieves.
The protective measures outlined in PCI DSS are an investment in the global battle against electronic fraud. PCI compliance ensures safeguarded payment card data with every transaction. Isn't that what you and your customers expect and deserve?
When you're ready to achieve and maintain PCI compliance, TransFirst can help. Complete the form above and one of our representatives will answer your questions and set you on the path to PCI compliance.

AEGON has launched a six-month physiotherapy pilot for its income protection customers. Customers who have symptoms associated with a musculoskeletal condition can undergo a series of free physiotherapy sessions with the aim of helping them to return to work sooner. Symptoms of the condition include back pain, joint injuries or repetitive strain injuries.
The rehabilitation service is provided through RehabWorks, a specialist provider of return to work treatment services that has a network of physiotherapists throughout the UK. Customers will be offered a three to six week physiotherapy programme depending on the severity of their condition. Additional advice and guidance will also be offered. Treatment through RehabWorks will be free for customers and will be complimentary to any NHS treatment received.
Matt Rann at AEGON says, "A musculoskeletal condition is one of the most common reasons for a customer making a claim, and by providing this rehabilitation service free of charge to our customers we are giving them the best possible chance of returning to part-time or full time employment quicker. The physiotherapist will call our customer at a time convenient to them and discuss the most appropriate course of action suitable for them. Once the defined period of physiotherapy has finished the results will be sent to both the claims assessor and their GP who will agree the best way forward."
The physiotherapy course will not be compulsory for customers with a musculoskeletal condition and refusal to participate will not affect the decision of a claim being met.
During the initial six-month pilot AEGON will assess the success of the programme in helping people to return to work, and then hope to roll out the service permanently.

Eagles coach Andy Reid wanted in on the Peyton Manning chase, despite the team's commitment to QB Michael Vick, according to a Los Angeles Times report that has since been refuted by the coach.
Citing "NFL insiders," Sam Farmer of the Times writes that Reid wanted Manning, but Manning didn't want to play for an NFC East rival of younger brother Eli's Giants. Farmer reports that Reid was ready to quit the team if he wasn't afforded more personnel control.
Reid says he has that control, has had it for a while and that Vick's status with the team was not in question. Vick is in the second year of a six-year, $100 million deal.
JERSEYS: Buy Peyton Manning gear
"We look into everything, as all teams do," Reid said in a statement released by the team. "And I have the highest regard for Peyton Manning. But as I said publicly last month, that wasn't the direction we were heading in. Michael (Vick) is our guy."
"As far as the personnel control, I have had final say on personnel matters for quite some time here and that's never been an issue or a point of contention," Reid said in the statement. "Our front office works very well together and that's one of our strengths."
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

Description: Through the available patristic writings Caesar and the Lamb focuses on the attitudes of the earliest Christians on war and military service. Kalantzis not only provides the reader with many new translations of pre-Constantinian texts, he also tells the story of the struggle of the earliest Church, the communities of Christ at the margins of power and society, to bear witness to the nations that enveloped them as they transformed the dominant narratives of citizenship, loyalty, freedom, power, and control. Although Kalantzis examines writings on war and military service in the first three centuries of the Christian Church in an organized manner, the ways earliest Christians thought of themselves and the state are not presented here through the lens of antiquarian curiosity. With theological sensitivity and historical acumen this companion leads the reader into the world in which Christianity arose and asks questions of the past that help us understand the early character of the Christian faith with the hope that such an enterprise will also help us evaluate its expression in our own time.

George Kalantzis (Ph.D., Northwestern University) is associate professor of theology and director of The Wheaton Center for Early Christian Studies at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois. His research and writing interests focus on the dynamic relationship between the written documents and their interpretation in early Christianity, paying particular attention to the development of christological and trinitarian thought, as well as the interplay of classical Greco-Roman and early Christian philosophical understandings of anthropology and biblical hermeneutics.nbsp;He is the author of Caesar and the Lamb: Early Christian Attitudes on War and Military Service,nbsp;Theodore of Mopsuestia: Commentary on the Gospel of John, coeditor with Andrew Tooley of Evangelicals and the Early Church: Recovery, Reform, Renewal, with Jeffrey P. Greenman of Life in the Spirit: Spiritual Formation in Theological Perspective and withnbsp;D. Stephen Long of The Sovereignty of God Debate, as well a numerous articles and essays on Patristic thought. He is currently completing a project on wealth and poverty titled Crumbs From the Table: The Eucharist in the Life of the Church.Before coming to Wheaton College, Kalantzis taught seminary and doctoral students as they were preparing to engage the world and the church. He and his wife share this goal and vision with their Chicago area congregation where they serve in missions, the worship arts programs, and in adult and children's education.

A special police task force in Western Australia has charged two more people in the Kimberley with child sex offences.
Late this afternoon police charged an 18-year-old man and a juvenile with the sexual penetration of children.
Police say the pair assaulted two girls in the remote Kimberley town of Halls Creek.
The arrests bring the total number of people charged with child sex offences in Halls Creek in the past fortnight to 15.
A total of 35 sexual assault charges have now been laid since the investigation began two weeks ago.
The two charged today have been released on bail and court dates are yet to be finalised.

Hedge Fund Action Doesn't Change Fundamentals
Last week, hedge funds sold off their bullion holdings in what was a monumental run to the exits. As the price of silver and gold trended higher against declines in other commodities, equities, and so-called risk assets, the price for bullion gave institutional investors the comfort they needed to boost cash.
But how much has changed since hedge funds eased up on margin plays in commodities?
Not all that much. In the past 12 months, central banks have become increasingly concerned about deflation, realizing that no matter how much cash is injected into the money supply, there are still plenty of people on Main Street unwilling to leverage up. Of course, any deflation is temporary; to assume that deflation is not temporary is to assume that borrowers will not, no matter how clean their balance sheets, go back to spending.
Consumers have an appetite to spend, just not an appetite to borrow to finance this spending. In a world dominated by fractional reserve banking, this is a temporary concern for inflation-protected asset classes.
Measuring the Growth of Credit
In the second quarter of 2011, American consumers added some $18.4 billion worth of debt to revolving accounts—credit cards. This addition was a 66% increase to the amount added to plastic in the same quarter of 2010. It was also 368% more than consumers added to their liabilities column in 2009. Despite the belief that deflation is certain, it appears that consumers are far more comfortable adding debt now than they were even 2 years ago, a sign that declining money supply as measured with credit included may continue to run higher.
What has central bankers concerned isn't American's willingness to use plastic—credit cards merely make loans of M2 money supply; they do not turn M0 reserves into M1 money—but American's concern with installment debt for college tuition, cars, and homes.
In one year, Americans have increased their borrowing through installment vehicles by a collective 1.5%, a rate which, less the cost of money, is still negative. In order to make sure that newly injected cash does reach the economy, central bankers around the world have to be sure that borrowers come back to borrow for the long haul.
The Next Wave
Ultimately, the markets will find equilibrium, bad debt will be pushed from the system—or inflated away—and Main Street will begin to force M0 reserves into the traditional money supply.
Silver investors should know that such a change in inflation is not one that is transitory, but rather an immediate reaction. When the market reaches equilibrium, a wave of borrowing will happen almost immediately. There is no stopping a flood of credit of this magnitude. Central banks, especially the Federal Reserve, would have to entice banks to keep assets in reserve. The Fed can enact such a policy only by agreeing to pay a higher rate on reserves held at the Fed, which would only compound the growth in money supply.

|[Lucene-hadoop Wiki] Update of "DistributedLockServer" by JimKellerman
|Thu, 01 Feb 2007 03:17:04 GMT
Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Lucene-hadoop Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by JimKellerman: http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-hadoop/DistributedLockServer New page: ##language:en #pragma section-numbers off = "Chubby"-like distributed lock service for Hadoop = == Background == Google's [http://labs.google.com/papers/chubby.html Chubby], a distributed lock manager, is useful for multiple applications requiring distributed locking. Many of Google's systems require distributed locking. The [http://labs.google.com/papers/gfs.html Google File System (GFS)], and [http://labs.google.com/papers/bigtable.html Bigtable structured storage system] are but two examples. While Hadoop's HDFS has an internal locking mechanism, a general purpose distributed lock manager would be of use both by Hadoop itself and by ["Hbase"] structured data storage system at a minimum. The availability of a distributed lock manager would make it much easier to implement redundant name nodes in Hadoop. == Overview == * Distributed Lock Service * Provides a namespace of directories and small files * Reads and writes to a file are atomic * Locking * Both directories and files can be used as locks * Chubby client maintains a "session" with a Chubby service, which expires if it is unable to renew it's session lease with ''SessionTimeout'' seconds. * Chubby client provides consistent caching of Chubby files == Applications == * Mediate multiple name nodes and name node failover * Provide locking services needed by the ["Hbase"] project == Lock Service APIs == The ["Hbase"] working group has done some preliminary analysis of Google's Chubby and proposes (as a starting point) the following distributed lock service client API. There are three interfaces that comprise this API. The first is the main client API, the second is an interface for event handlers and the third describes the meta data that is stored for each chubby object. === Client API === {{{ package org.apache.hbase.lockserver.client; import java.util.Map; public interface LockserverClient { /** Maximum value for lock delay in open() */ public static final int MAX_LOCK_DELAY = 60 * 1000; // one minute /** Minimum value for lock delay in open() */ public static final int MIN_LOCK_DELAY = 2 * 1000; // two seconds /** * Open modes.

Do not block if the lock cannot be obtained immediately. * @param lockMode - one of the lock modes above * @return - true if lock was acquired, false if lock was not acquired. */ public boolean tryLock(int lockMode); /** Releases the currently held lock */ public void unlock(); /** Returns a byte array that describes any lock held by this handle */ public byte[] getSequencer(); /** * Associates a new sequencer with this session * @param sequencer - A sequencer returned from some other session, possibly on * another server. */ public void setSequencer(byte[] sequencer); /** * Returns true if the specified sequencer is valid. * @param sequencer * @return true if sequencer is valid, false if not. */ public boolean checkSequencer(byte[] sequencer); } }}} === Event Handler API === {{{ package org.apache.hbase.lockserver.client; /** * Clients register for events with the {@see LockserverClient} * * This interface defines the API for all the events, but clients need not * register for all the event types. In this case, only a stub method is * required to implement this interface. * */ public interface LockEventHandler { /** Called when contents of node are modified */ public void contentsModified(); /** Called when a new child node is added */ public void childAdded(); /** Called when a child node is removed */ public void childRemoved(); /** Called when a child node is modified */ public void childModified(); /** Called when the master lock server fails over */ public void masterFailover(); /** Called when the session is in jeopardy of timing out */ public void handleWarning(); /** * Called if the session was in jeopardy but was able to communicate with * the lock server before the session timed out. */ public void handleSafe(); /** * Called if the session was in jeopardy and was not able to communicate with * the lock server before the session timed out. */ public void handleExpired(); } }}} === Lock Meta Data === {{{ package org.apache.hbase.lockserver.client; /** Information about a node in the lock server hierarchy */ public interface MetaData { /** Returns the ACL that controls read access */ public String getReadACL(); /** Returns the ACL that controls write access */ public String getWriteACL(); /** Returns the ACL that controls ACL changes */ public String getControlACL(); /** Returns the instance number of the node */ public long getInstance(); /** Returns the content generation number (files only) */ public long getContentGeneration(); /** Returns the lock generation number */ public long getLockGeneration(); /** Returns the ACL generation number */ public long getACLGeneration(); /** Returns the content checksum */ public long getContentChecksum(); } }}}

Travel Sandboard
$ 13.00
The 9" x 10 1/2" travel sandboard is the perfect size for the on-the-go quilter. It fits inside the Quilter's Applique Caddy which is very handy.
The back of this sandboard is the textured side of masonite—it is not super-smooth. That actually works well because it helps to keep the board in place on your lap and on your table.
The Travel Sandboard is Made In America!

Close Protection: The Politics of Guarding Russia's Rulers
The evolution of elite personal protection units also known as close protection units within the former Soviet Union is one of the least examined, yet crucial political developments in this region. Due to the often-violent environment in which the political leaders of this region now operate, the need for these special military units is obvious. This study examines the similarities between these the current units and those of the Soviet past and finds that, in spite of the highly unstable nature of politics in post-communist Russia, these elite units have not intervened to the degree that many might have expected. They have, however, played a significant political role throughout the region.
These close protection forces may very well determine the success or failure of the democratization process now underway. On the other hand, establishing a Praetorian Guard within the very walls of the Kremlin may in itself portend an end to democracy. Ultimately, a complete understanding of future politics in the former Soviet Union is impossible without acknowledging the role that these modern Praetorians play in the civil-military balance.
