Dear Brother & Sister Wells-Longshore,
It is my pleasure to inform you of Sister Chalene Wells-Longshore's outstanding service here in the Korea Busan Mission. It brings me great joy to work with such fine young missionaries as Sister Wells-Longshore. Through her work, she has contributed greatly to the success of this mission.
Sister Wells-Longshore has faithfully served in her previous assignment, and has now been called to serve as a New Trainer. In this calling Sister Wells-Longshore still retains the opportunity and privilege to proselyte daily.
The challenge of being a New Trainer is great and demanding. In order for us to continually improve the success of this mission we need the cooperation of all the missionaries, especially the leaders, to obtain that unified effort. I am sure your daughter will provide that leadership.
Sister Gilbert and I want to express our gratitude to you for sharing your daughter with us and with the Lord. Sister Wells-Longshore's faithful, obedient service reflects great credit upon you as her parents. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work with Sister Wells-Longshore in this great work of our Heavenly Father.
Lynn A. Gilbert,
Korea Busan Mission President

Stills from 5d2/7d Video - Anyone doing it yet
I realize this is a provocative subject, but here goes...
I'm booked into a wedding show on Jan 16th with about 400 or so brides attending. Weddings aren't a huge part of my biz, but i do have a wedding brand at Love Stories On Film. I try to shoot at least a few a year to keep my hand in it. My son plays high level baseball and I help coach-so I try to book more off-season weddings when I can. Anyways, I've been experimenting with pulling stills from the 5d footage and using genuine fractals to upscale the images with pretty good results.
I realize that we use the photog as a director and we can silently film the formals etc., and it is a somewhat symbiotic relationship. However, the last photog I worked with was such an ass, that I've been thinking more and more about taking on the 'entire media'. When the last couple saw the stills I was able to pull, they wished that they had saved the 3k from the photog and spent more on the video and then they could pull whatever stills they liked from the video.
I plan on printing some 8x10's and having them on display at the show you to illustrate the possibilities...
Is anyone doing this yet?

As a matter of fact...
I shot a friends wedding for free and he did just that. He was a fan of my DSLR video work and wanted me to shoot his wedding, "video" style, then give him all the raw footage and he was going to pull stills from it. It worked surprisingly well. He got a ton of photos and saved a lot of money. The stills actually looked pretty good when viewed on a computer screen which was all he cared about.
I don't know if this would work for a more traditional wedding with more traditional photo expectations but for a couple looking to save money it's kind of a cool option.

Oh boy, the photogs will really LOVE you <wink> - be sure to hire an armed guard for your booth <wink, wink>!
I've pulled stills from HD video (just regular cams), with workable results when the photographer didn't have the angle and I did. The day is coming when I may shoot a SLR primarily (SLT actually) as a main cam, and strategically placed unmanned cams to cover. I've had it on the radar for some time, and since I usually shoot video and the wife shoots stills, it makes sense. I'm still looking for the camera that will REALLY offer both and do it well enough I don't feel there's compromise.
I don't think you've got anything to lose from promoting - put some nice full rez stills on the big screen display (just watch out for stuff flying across the room from the photog booths! Maybe put up some chicken wire?).
As a practical matter, there are now so many ways people are used to viewing their "photos", and the majority of them are NOT printed on paper, but rather displayed on a screen... I don't think you have anything to lose by offering a "digital imaging" package, with some "prints".

FWIW: I have been considering a move from the opposite direction (photo into video+photo or video only). The biggest obstacle I'm seeing is being able to do the appropriate things at the appropriate times without a boatload of assistants. There are times of the day when I think video is more appropriate. Other times, I'd prefer to tell the story with stills. Either way, I think the stills could be mixed back into a video with good audio.
Either way, I see a merge coming. Hopefully, we can help each other out! (photographers and videographers)

That's nice work. Is it from frame grabs or shutter clicks? It looks like in the beach scenes that their eyes were looking at another camera, so I'm assuming that you were covering a photo shoot.

I think that if I do it I'll have to evolve a workflow. I would for sure need an extra assistant to direct traffic and set up formals. I would probably just pack along the 430ex for lighting to shoot extra stills via the shutter when needed.
My original idea was to team up with a photog or 2 who you can work with on a regular basis, but most photogs still charge well north of 2k to shoot a wedding. I currently charge around 2k and that includes an assistant (2nd camera) for the ceremony, 20k worth of equipment, 10-12 hours of coverage, and 30 hours of editing.
I don't see this as a universal answer (pulling still frames), it would be challenging. But there may be times where it is an option for some couples.

One benefit to attending Bridal shows is that you do get to the brides very early in the process, at least that's been my experience from 4 previous shows (2 each over the last 2 years).
I agree that the 5d2 is not a bad stills camera... and I would blast off some extra clicks. However, with the video we have 30 frames per second to pick from. I'm using Perfect Photo Suite 5.5 - onOne Software Genuine Fractals, and while it's not going to replace raw data, it may work for some couples. As long as they are aware of the limitations - ie: enlargements, then they can decide.
I've pulled some stills and am having them printed 8x10 and will see how they look.

Keep in mind that if you grab frames from video, the highest resolution you will get for stills is 1920 x 1080. It doesn't matter how big the sensor is, the video is resized to the video resolution that you are using. Resizing actually introduces moire and artifacts as a byproduct of resizing that can look pretty bad depending on what you are shooting.
Be careful to not over represent what you are offering; clients don't understand the difference. In fact, the cameras may even the same for photos or video. It just depends on what mode you are 'shooting' in. The other problem is that the mindset is different for photos versus videos. Even if a person is able to do both, it's difficult to do both at the same time. I'm not shooting down your idea. I just feel that it's important to fully disclose that the 'photos' are video frame grabs that are not the same quality / resolution as true photos are.

I have to agree with Jim. The stills you pull from 5D/7D video are nothing like the stills that the 5D/7D shoots. There's a reason I use stills on our DVD packaging and not video grabs. You can see the difference in quality even at that small size. Try going larger and it can start looking real bad real fast.
So I would just be totally up front with your couples and let them know that the quality of a video grab is not the same as a still. If they're fine with that then cool.

Travis and Jim,
I used Genuine Fractals (a photoshop pluging), to double the file size on my stills and printed a few 8x12's. The results are pretty good and I will let the brides take a look. It is far and away better than a 1920x1080. I would hesitate to do this without using genuine fractals.
It's likely that I will evolve into this slowly and guage the response. I will take the enlargements to the bridal show this weekend and update you guys on the feedback.

There is at least one more major conflict about this whole thing (in addition to what Jim Snow just said)
Shooting smooth video will require that you shoot at 1/50 or 1/60 and stills at this shutter speed will often be blurry.
It could work with non moving subjects but for the times were motion is involved 1/100 and above will be a must but then your video is going to look weird
Also with stills you will need to have your subjects accurately in focus. In video it may be unoticeable when your subject is out of focus or jumps in and out of focus as it moves but frame grabs will be unuseable.
Firing off regular stills every now and then could also be an option but the problem is that the camera blacks out for some very long seconds when you do that and with stills timing is VERY important.
If your couple has very low expectations or very low budget then pulling stills off the video footage is a good option. Some stills are better than no stills at all.
Since video and stills are two completely different animals in some ways and two very similar ones in some other ways it's very usual that when a videographer tries to shoot stills or a photographer tries to shoot video you can easily tell were each one is coming from
In a nutshell I suggest that photographers don't try to sell video to brides that are willing to spend money on video and videographers don't try to sell photography to brides willing to spend money on photography.
You are a photographer and you find out that your bride next week has no video? offer her a video or fusion option. She might be interested and spend some more money on you for that option.
You are a videographer and you find out that your bride really likes to have a very well made cinematic video and pay upwards of $3000 for it?
Find out how much she is willing to spend on photography and if it's much less than $1000 then she could probably be your client. If she is willing to spend another $3000 or more on photography then don't even mention it unless you are looking for trouble.
Resolution is fine for prints up to 8X12 as long as the shot is not blurry (either by motion of focus) and the ISO not too high.
Genuine fractals is really NOT necessary unless you print at home.
Fuji and Noritsu minilabs use very sophisticated interpolation software anyways. I bet you can't tell the difference between a 1920X1080 frame grab and a Genuine Fractals version printed on a minilab at 8X12.

Man Dies Of Injuries From Crash
An 85-year-old Missoula man who was involved in a weekend crash that killed his wife has died from his injuries.
Jim Stover died after being hospitalized following Sunday afternoon's crash in Pattee Canyon, south of Missoula. His wife, 83-year-old Beryl C. Stover, was killed in the crash.
Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Paul Pfau says Jim Stover was driving an SUV downhill, following his daughter, when it went off a Forest Service road into a ravine. Officials say the edge of the road was soft because it had recently been bladed.
The daughter heard a loud noise and didn't see her parents' vehicle.
She called 911, and the vehicle had to be stabilized before rescue workers could reach the couple.

plays 10 Graphic and Twisted Stage Plays Sure to Disturb Your Sleep
A lot of Americans are so scarred from 7th grade English class that if you mention Shakespeare they immediately start nodding off, and people don't exactly associate the theatre with the stuff of nightmares. However, there is actually a long history of graphic stage plays, full of all manner of depravity. You can find everything from violence to sex to cannibalism and even necrophilia in plays going back hundreds and even thousands of years. A lot of people don't know that the kind of stuff that goes down in modern theatre makes Criminal Minds look like an adult coloring book.
People have been fascinated with death and the darker aspects of human nature since the first days of our recorded history, and nothing quite shows it off like these gruesome theatrical entries. Violence in theatre has a bloody history and terrifying current presence, which has caused everything from actual riots to theater goers fainting in their seats in large numbers. If you like the bloody, the weird, the graphic, and the strange, check out this list of totally twisted stage plays.
Cleansed - A Spectacle of Rape and Mutilation That Made People Faint
While people fainting during a play sounds like something that would have happened in the 1860's, Britain's National Theater's revival of Sarah Kane's Cleansed raised hell for theater goers in early 2016. The play, which features terrifying scenes of nightmarish violence, caused five people to faint and almost 50 people to walk out during the first week of its run. It is even gave the cast nightmares.
The play explores a university which transforms into a sadistic and totalitarian spectacle of rape and mutilation. From force feedings to electrocutions, Cleansed has shocked and appalled theater goers since its debut in 1998.
Sweeney Todd - A Throat-Slitting, People-Eating Good Time
This incredibly violent Broadway classic created by musical theater genius Stephen Sondheim features a murderous barber on a blood-soaked revenge quest. He slits the throats of almost anyone who comes in for a shave. His accomplice Mrs. Lovett disposes of the bodies by making them into meat pies, which she then sells to the people of London.
This black comedy has a tragic ending, and features more murders that an entire season of Law and Order. In fact, Lovett and Todd share an entire pun-filled duet joking about how the different professions of their victims will make for different tasting meat pies.
L'Homme de la Nuit (The Man of the Night) - Brutal Violence and Necrophilia Abound
In 1897 French playwright Oscar Metenier bought a small theater in Paris. It became known as the The Theatre du Grand-Guigonol and for decades some of the most twisted, violent, and shocking plays of the day were staged there. Metenier was succeeded only a year later by director Max Maurey, who judged the success of his shows by how many people fainted during them. He even had a doctor present during performances to treat terrified audience members.
From 1898-1914 he was behind plays like L'Homme de la Nuit (The Man of the Night), which explored necrophilia. His shows commonly depicted insanity, sex, violence, and murder.
Saved - A Savage Stoning, Live on Stage
In 1965, Edward Bond's play Saved horrified British audiences. It famously features a scene depicting a group of young men goading each other into stoning a baby to death in it's carriage. According to the original cast, this had to be done very carefully so the rocks didn't bounce off of the carriage and injure audience members.
This rarely revived play had a large part in abolishing theater censorship in Britain and is considered a modern masterpiece, despite its rather graphic nature - proving that violence, when not gratuitous - can be a powerful narrative tool.

I wonder if it is possible to change the aspect of a scatter chart.
The possibilties to display datas are very light , only circle, cross, plus are available. Why not square ?
Specially, when I create a map, I will be very happy to display a logo of a specific brand.
Is there a possibility with v10 or using some extensions ?

It was 1972 when Lou Xiaoying, a woman in China who made a living by recycling trash, found her first abandoned baby lying in a pile of junk on the street. She took the baby girl into her modest home where she and her husband raised her.
Xiaoying told The Daily Mail, "Watching her grow and become stronger gave us such happiness, and I realized I had a real love of caring for children. I realized if we had enough strength to collect garbage, how could we not recycle something as important as human lives."
Now 88 and suffering from kidney failure, Xiaoying's story is finally being widely heard, and she is being declared a hero. Said one supporter, "She is shaming governments, schools, and people who stand by and do nothing. She has no money or power, but she saved children from death."
Just as you did it to one of the least of these…you did it to Me. (Matthew 25:40)
Open my heart to the suffering of children, Father.

And when I say "Stupid", I mean Jason Garrett. A week after calling one of the best games since he became the Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator, the "Red Headed Jesus" called one of his worst. Fans and media can blame the players and referees all they want.á This one lays squarely on the back of the "head coach in waiting".á Yikes, that is scary to even think about. á A Little History It's been about a year since I wrote the first of many articles on his incompetence as an offensive coordinator, and really nothing has changed. I thought that last week's Eagles game was the big turn-around that the Cowboys and their fans have been hoping for in Garrett's gameplans and play calling.áá For the first time in a really long time, the Cowboys had a protection scheme and incredible play ...

Wondering what is the determining factor that decides what diameter sized concrete forming tube to use? It will be a 16 x 26 cabin.
Wondering what is the determining factor that decides what diameter sized concrete forming tube to use? It will be a 16 x 26 cabin.
How many floors? What type of soil? In well-drained, undisturbed, gravelly soils, you could get away with a 8" tube with light reinforcement for a 1-story cabin. With heavy clays, loose fill, or more floors, diameter and reinforcement (rebar) needs to increase. Of course, many people just underbuild their foundation and cross their fingers, lol

Where are you doing this? You may not have a choice in this if you will be getting an inspection. Get a engineer to give you some idea on the number and size of sauna tubes you should use for the size of the structure you plan to build. Depth will be a factor as well.

Just thinking here, is there any reason no one has talked about the "elephant foot" foundation form? if the ground is decent less digging with a bigger footprint. I have decided in my neck of the woods never to bury foundations again. Just asking cause I like the idea.

Donald Trump's victory in the US elections has rattled the world markets and Turkish assets are no exception. As the news emerged in the early hours of November 9 suggesting that Trump is moving closer to the White House, the lira hit a record low of 3.30 against the US dollar. It later gained some ground to trade at 3.1903 as of 10:40 Istanbul time.
Stocks are down 1.54% and the yield on the 10-year bond eased to 10.48% shortly after touching 10.53%. But shares in Dogan Holding surged 12% on the elections results. Dogan and Trump developed Trump Towers, a commercial and residential complex in Istanbul's central business district, in 2012. Shares in other Dogan Group companies rose too: Hurriyet was up 9%, Dogan Burda increased 7.6% and Dogan Gazetecilik gained nearly 6%.
Relations between Turkey and the US have been strained over the past few months. It is yet to be seen how they will evolve under Trump's administration. In the run-up to the elections in the US, pro-government media in Turkey appeared to favour Trump over Clinton because of the latter's comments that she would arm the YPG Kurdish militia in Syria if she becomes the next president. Those messages irked Ankara that considers YPG a terrorist organisation because of its link to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) that launched an insurgency against the Turkish state in mid-1980s. "What does that mean? Is the US not our ally? What does it mean to support them – the YPG-with arms?" scolded Primer Minister Binali Yildirim on October 11, as the Hurriyet Daily News reported. "Fighting against one terrorist organisation – Islamic State – by using another terrorist organisation was "unacceptable," he said, commenting on Clinton's remarks.
Pro-government media also suspected ties between Clinton and US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, who Ankara says masterminded the failed July 15 coup attempt. There were reports suggested that supporters of Gulen in the US donated to the Clinton campaign. Turkey has been asking for the extradition of Gulen. The government may now hope that the new administration in Washington will finally hand him over to Turkey.
In an interview with the New York Times back in July, Trump praised Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan . "I give great credit to him for being able to turn that – the coup attempt – around…. The people came out of their homes, and they were not in favour of what the military was doing. So that was quite impressive from the standpoint of existing government. I will say this: I think Turkey can do a lot against ISIS, and I would hope that if I'm dealing with them, they will do much more about ISIS."
When asked about the sweeping purges in the wake of the botched push, Trump said: "I think right now when it comes to civil liberties, our country has a lot of problems, and I think it's very hard for us to get involved in other countries when we don't know what we are doing and we can't see straight in our own country." His statements give impression that that the new administration will not give too much headache to Ankara over human rights and freedoms.
"How are we going to lecture – about what they do inside their borders – when people are shooting our policemen in cold blood. How are we going to lecture when you see the riots and the horror going on in our own country", Trump said.
A Turkish official told Reuters that the election of Trumps as president will not cause problems, and the two countries will remain strategic partners. He expected to see stronger ties, the official said. Trump's earlier statements that terrorist groups in Syria would not be supported is important for Turkey, he added.

Renting a studio apartment in Davies, Fargo, ND

Efficiency apartment vs bachelor flat: which one is right for you?
Cheap studios and efficiency apartments normally have the kitchen in the main room, which is a major discouraging factor for renters… But don't let this scare you away: there are always some exceptions that prove the rule, and it's worth locating them in Davies, Fargo, ND too. Some newer apartment buildings have very spacious floor-plans with layouts that allow you to divide the sleeping and living space for more privacy and comfort. A few design tricks, like a well-placed mirror, a bookshelf divider and functional space-saving furniture can make all the difference. Be prepared that bachelor flats with a separate kitchen tend to be a bit more expensive than your average one room apartment. If you plan on cooking and eating in a lot, it may be worth spending the extra dollars per month to have your kitchen separate from your bedroom/living area. It all comes down to finding a studio apartment that fits your lifestyle and your personal preferences.

These shots are pretty and all, but for the true iPhone enthusiasts, a $250,000 scanning electron microscope reveals even more:
Specifically the results of X-ray diffraction spectroscopy can tell us the elements that comprise each piece of the iPhone.

wish these slickdeal fucks would stop linking all the deals for their worthless rep. lets bring more traffic to the broken sites, great idea
this is true.
black friday has gone completely insane over the last 5-10 years and i blame slickdeals for it. they get everyone worked up into a frenzy over every deal and now you have to fight through a mountain of crap to get that deal.....whether that mountain is servers overloading(half of this from flippers no doubt thanks to slickdeals) and then the crowds
oh well whatever.....I got an HDR 4k TV for store pick up that is ready as of wednesday at some point before the black friday chaos. so i'll grab it this weekend. thats all i wanted. i wouldnt have minded Tekken day 1 for that price. but i'll live.
i don't need to spend anymore and i don't feel like fighting to try and check out for hours on end just to add to the backlog.
23 November 2017 - 07:19 AM
i guess my wallet is safe then.
22 November 2017 - 01:09 AM
i too have been wondering about this.
i want to upgrade to 4k. but upon researching it i know you need to watch the specs.
a true 4k TV needs some kind of HDR(not all 4k TVs have this). the size is then an issue and whether or not you want to splurge for QLED or OLED(whatever that stuff is).
it's all very confusing. i remember my first and only 50 inch HD TV. i spontaneously called a friend at 3 AM in black friday, and went to HHGregg i think it was, and grabbed that sucker for then the good price of 700 bucks. or maybe it was 500 bucks? I cannot remember. it has served me well for 10 years. turns out i inadvertently ended up getting the 720p deal on a 1080p TV.
I hate to replace old reliable.....Took that TV across the country for school, and it survived the long trip home including a detour into yellowstone and it's -15 degree weather in the car.
I was personally eyeballing this one.

In my opinion i disagree. Some of us dont have the type of friends to talk about stuff like this or the guts to go up to a adult and tell them "oh any tips on how to.......rub a girls genitials for example". These "strangers" can give very good advise on some occasions and are a non-embarrasing way to find out something like what he wanted to find out.
As for the question just rubbing her clit should please her. if she says it isnt comfortable ask her want she want you to do. She should understand this is your first time an should give you a break and help you.

Let's face it. Google Play Store is full of apps that are stuck in the pre-holo world of Android Gingerbread. When Android 4.0 ICS gave us a unified style language, Holo, and later the Android design guidelines the old apps all started to look outdated overnight. These apps need a facelift, a redesign.

The life of a walk-on on any NCAA athletic team is hardly glamorous. Between the dirty, gritty work on scout teams in practice and the fact that they have to pay their way through school via student loans or an outside job, walk-ons rarely receive publicity outside of the locker room.
Those facts alone are enough to make anyone think twice about accepting a walk-on spot on a team, but Jon'te Dotson was no ordinary walk-on.
The lone senior on UNC's 2016 basketball team played more minutes than any other walk-on in the Division I era. Dotson saw action in 65 games. That's a little over two full seasons in four years, hundreds of workouts, practices and studying film for the love of the game.
Dotson started seeing valuable minutes during the 2014-15 season and even started his first game against Montana at home.
The following year, he was no longer looked at as a walk-on, but someone who was a communicator on the floor and played hard regardless of what the situation was on the court.
Unfortunately, a knee injury hindered his playing time during his junior season, forcing him to the sidelines for close to two months.
That wasn't the biggest bump in the road for Dotson. Heading into his senior season, he had to go through a coaching staff change and then learn his fellow classmen were redshirting, leaving him as the only senior on the roster, in a year where he couldn't even play for a conference championship.
Dotson could have easily retired from the game and focused on school during his final year of college, but he's not one to shy away from adversity and hard work.
'At first it was kind of a struggle when I heard my fellow seniors were going to redshirt, but I still had this year even though I didn't know what it was going to be like after. Sometimes life isn't easy and you have to make the best of what you are handed and that's what I tried to do this year."
On the court, Dotson has accomplished what few walks-on have been able to, fighting his way into the rotation season after season, seeing playing time over scholarship players, but what he's done off the court is far more noteworthy.
Dotson will be the first in his family to earn a college degree and is no doubt a role model for all high schoolers in the Denver metro area thinking they have no shot to be a Division I athlete, or even a college graduate.
"It's definitely a great feeling, my mom talks about it almost every day, she's just so proud because where we come from (the south side of Denver) most people don't even get past high school," he said.
Dotson received his bachelor's degree in Economics with a minor in Business Administration, but basketball is still his main passion.
He said that basketball helped him stay out of gangs, away from drugs and out of trouble all his life. It remains his focus, which is why he plans on spending the next year or so working out, attending basketball showcases and building his reputation as a player in hopes of playing professionally.

We wish we could say that it was the first time Sasha Pieterse had ever heard one random body-shaming comment, but unfortunately, it's something that the star has had to deal with for quite some time now. The Pretty Little Liars actress took to Instagram to share a really heartfelt message about why picking on someone is never okay – especially when it's about something as personal as their weight.
In her note, Sasha explained that she's always been conscious about her weight, but even more so when she recently started needing to take medication for a hormone imbalance.
"People were actually angry that I gained weight," she wrote. "I was being (and still am) called names, made fun of, the (unfortunate) usual, but it wasn't until people started asking and assuming I was pregnant that I decided to say something. I had at that point found out that I had a really bad hormone imbalance and decided to share the news publicly. I made it a point to mention that I am and will always be 'under construction'."
Sasha admitted that she can't say she's surprised about getting so much weight-hate from her female friends, but she's really over the body-bashing.
"Not that I was surprised, but it disturbed me that so many females were quick to tear me down on a subject that we all struggle with," she wrote. "We've all heard our parents tell us to treat people the way you want to be treated, but I think often we don't treat ourselves the way we should be treated. I decided at that point to my love myself the way I am right now."
We're so proud of Sasha for publicly speaking out this issue, because no one should ever feel like they're under a constant pressure to either look a certain way or be made fun of.
What do you think about Sasha's poignant message? Leave us your reactions in the comments section below.

Identifying and understanding prefixes and suffixes of a word on their own may not be that difficult, but knowing where to put hyphens when you're trying to write a uniquely arranged word or compound word isn't always easy. Luckily, there are some general rules of thumb and tips to remember that everyone can follow to ensure that others at least understand what you're trying to communicate. But first, let's quickly recap what prefixes and suffixes are, and how they function.
Prefixes are added to the beginning of an existing word to create a new word with a different meaning. Prefixes don't always have hyphens when they're used, but they do change the grammatical function of a word in a sentence.

This translation of the advent to Wang Hui's Rise of contemporary chinese language Thought (2004) makes a part of his four-volume masterwork to be had to English readers for the 1st time. a number one public highbrow in China, Wang charts the historic currents that experience formed chinese language modernity from the track Dynasty to the current day, and alongside the way in which demanding situations the West to reconsider a few of its most simple assumptions approximately what it potential to be modern.
China from Empire to Nation-State exposes oversimplifications and distortions implicit in Western reviews of chinese language historical past, which lengthy held that China was once culturally proof against modernization, basically in a position to sign up for the neighborhood of recent countries while the Qing Empire ultimately collapsed in 1912. Noting that Western principles have didn't take note of the range of chinese language adventure, Wang recovers vital lines of premodern suggestion. chinese language thinkers theorized politics in ways in which don't line up smartly with political concept within the West—for instance, the inspiration of a "Heavenly precept" that ruled every little thing from the ordering of the cosmos to the constitution of society and rationality itself. frequently brushed aside as proof of imperial China's irredeemably backward tradition, many Neo-Confucian techniques reemerged in twentieth-century chinese language political discourse, as thinkers and activists from around the ideological spectrum appealed to historic precedents and ideas in aid in their political and cultural agendas. Wang hence permits us to determine what percentage features of premodern proposal contributed to a tremendously chinese language imaginative and prescient of modernity.

It is for this reason, then, that narratives of "Qing imperialism" emphasize only the expansionist nature of the empire, but pay no attention to the distinctions between this model of expansion and so-called universal empires, and also rarely focus on important long-term transformations that occurred in the model of imperial rule of the Qing dynasty from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries. 32 Narratives of empire, national narratives, and their derivative forms establish their views of China from a variety of perspectives.
Indeed it has often had different meanings to people from the same country at the same time. 9 This specialist in the history of the Russian Empire and in the comparative history of empires gives us a sketch of the rich and ambiguous history of the concept of empire and, against a global backdrop, describes the rise and fall of various major empires. The concept of empire was still linked with such concepts as prosperity and strength at the beginning of the twentieth century; its devaluation took place only during a distinct period in which Nazi Germany appropriated the concept of empire and when, during the Cold War, Western nations regularly used the term to castigate the Soviet Union.
All that was missing from the body politic, itself defined through culture and language, was the appropriate political clothing. The linguistic community had to coincide with the legal community within one nation-state. 11 The community established by culture and language, in essence, refers to the category of the nation or "people" so carefully defined in nineteenthcentury "humanities" or "moral sciences"—the fields of philosophy, linguistics, and other types of political economy that were distinguished from the natural sciences during that period.

Sometimes a barrel of truth can run off of you like water off a ducks back, like it could have stayed in the barrel, and you would have been fine either way. Sometimes a drop of truth can change your life.
"At the heart of the Christian ethic is humility; at the heart of its parodies, pride. Different roads with different destinations, and the destinations color the character of those who travel by them."
-N.T. Wright, Simply Christian
This idea has become one of those hugely-important drops of truth for me. Last summer I underwent a period of intense doubt. My self-talk sounded like this: If we are longing for Him to come again, what good did His first coming do for us now? I need something more than heaven and hell. What is the evidence of His salvation now? How do I know that my experiences with God have not been self-fulfilling products of my longings?
A good friend helped me through this doubt, and I clung to one thing that came up in our conversations. He explained that He has known many Christians, with lives full of compelling morality and care for others on one hand and with radiant inner beauty, peace and humility on the other. He explained that he had known very many non-Christians who lived admirable moral lives, but there were very few who along with this morality were characterized by inner beauty, peace and humility. The idea struck me as something new that I hadn't considered, something that seems true, and something that points to the gospel as true; as a proof in the pudding.
So just last week I came across this same idea from N.T. Wright, which confirms to me the truth of what I've been suspecting for almost a year now. The idea responds to my doubt as follows:
If we are longing for Him to come again, what good did His first coming do for us now?
Jesus saves us now and changes our lives now, not just for some future destination. He takes the good we try to do and makes it better than we could hope. At the same time, He makes us to be more moral. All the while, He gives us peace and humility as we travel our paths following Him.
What is the evidence of His salvation now?
a. The peace He has put in me. I might be able to do some of the same good things I can do as a non-Christian, but I could never provide myself with peace and humility. My efforts to manage life on my own, without God have been laughable.
b. The change He makes in other people's lives now. Not just the change in right behavior I see when someone "gits religin," but the change that happens on the inside of converted people that shines out and that they couldn't hide if they wanted to. The friend of mine who came to Christ and heard the birds sing for the first time since he was a boy; the lady at our church who just two years ago looked like the embodiment of depression and whose face and hugs now light up our little congregation.
How do I know that my experiences with God have not been self-fulfilling products of my longings?
I suppose "knowing" in the objective sense is not an option for me, here. I must take the evidence in front of me, including my experiences with God and either believe or not believe. When I try hard to look at Christianity objectively, as if I had nothing to do with it, Christ being God seems far-fetched. But when I look at the world around me and the daily miracles that are popping out like buds on a tree, I find this world itself to be just as far-fetched. The types of miracles, gifts and mercies I have found to be the heart of creation, run parallel to those found in the Bible, and I do believe they come from the same Source.
I'm getting off the subject. The subject is this idea that Christians are on a better path, a path that ultimately makes them better people than they would have been if they were not Christians. The subject is also that this idea holds tremendous import for my doubt. It suggests that Christianity is more than just a defensible "rival conception of God," but is actually true. For me, it is something like proof.
The thoughts going on in my head right now sound something like this:
Is it true that the path of following Christ takes our good works and begins to play behind them an accompaniment of humility, peace and joy? Is it true that doing these same good works, but on a different path, leads one to pride, self-conceit and despair?
I invite your input.

On Thursday, liberal co-host Joy Behar of "The View" lost a debate with a legal immigrant over President Trump's border wall. Then on Friday, she found herself facing the indignation of Sen. John McCain's daughter Meghan who wasn't going to put up with Behar suggesting that most Republicans are racist.
When Behar attacked the effectiveness of Trump's wall and suggested that no legal immigrant could be in favor of it because they'd be trying to shut out their own kind, legal immigrant Antonio Sabàto Jr. sent her reeling with his comeback. He showed "The View" hosts that he wasn't going to back-pedal when their liberal views attacked his own.
Meghan McCain showed the same spirit on Friday in a discussion about domestic violence allegations involving White House aide Rob Porter, as well as White House Chief of Staff John Kelly's and White House Communications Director Hope Hicks' possible connections.
Meghan scolded Behar over her sarcastic, gleeful tone when discussing the subject, telling her, "We shouldn't make levy of this. We're talking about the abuse of a woman. We're laughing [about it]. It's very serious. And as a Republican, I am offended that—"
"As a Democrat, I'm offended at Republicans," Behar interrupted her, causing the audience to erupt in cheers.
Later in the debate, as the liberal co-hosts continued to bash the White House staff, Meghan reminded them, "Well, you're offended by Republicans. You're offended by me sitting here because I'm a Republican."
Behar replied, "I'm offended by a party that backs a racist. 72 percent of the Republican party thinks he's a good role model."
"I'm actually going on the Van Jones show on Saturday," Meghan said, referring to a very liberal CNN host, "and I was actually looking forward to talking about this in a way that is respectful and not being told that just because I'm a Republican I'm offending you. We're not going to move the needle one way or another by just throwing out platitudes and hubris like that, and I would like to have a real conversation about it."
As the audience applauded her, Meghan added, "I don't know why you're offended by all Republicans. I'm trying to give you my perspective. I'm trying to give you—"
"Because 72 percent of them are backing a racist!" Behar interrupted her angrily. "And somebody who has abused women. That's why."
"Did you know that my father was accused of being a racist? And that Romney was accused of being racist? And Jeb Bush was accused of being a racist?" Meghan asked, pointing out a Democrat trend.
"Your father is not in the Republican party of today, darling!" Behar insisted.
"Well, I look forward to having this conversation with Van on Saturday," Meghan concluded.

I was just checking in on The Bleat. Six-year-old Gnat gets all irritated when her Dad sings. Just like my kids do when I sing. Here's the deal: my five-year-old can really carry a tune, but she's a very guarded individual not given to joyous outbursts of song. I'm trying to model that behavior for her, so for Christmas I bought her a kids' microphone. Upon first opening the gift, she did not seem very impressed or excited. I had anticipated that, so when the excitement died down and most of the relatives had left, I put on a show with Leo Sayer's "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing!" for the kids, my sister-in-law and her fiance, who by then was probably re-thinking his proposal. Basically all I elicited from her was a big yawn.
But later, said microphone disappeared from view and I could hear from my in-law's office the amplified sound of The Alphabet Song. Got her!
Still, she was loathe to perform in front of others, no matter the coaxing. Her two-year-old brother, however, was not. He did a perfect rendition of her song (skipping only one letter) complete with hip-swiveling action to the applause of all and graciously repeated the performance over and over. Adorble, yes. But not the best part.
The best part was watching his five-year-old sister ply for attention during his performances. Too cool to actually go on mike, she groaned and sighed loudly during his numbers, threw herself on the floor and began flopping about unselfconciously and loudly. She couldn't stand the competition.
And now she sings on mike just for the asking. I'm hoping to download video of the Christmas scene when the opportunity arises.

GIVEN the recent spats between the devolved nations and the UK Government over the decision by David Cameron to exercise the UK veto over the EU treaty last month, there have been many statements on how this will impact Welsh trade with the European Union.
According to a recent statement from the First Minister of Wales, "some 50% of exports from Wales are to the EU". Yet recent data from the Welsh Government's own statistics suggest only 40% of exports originating from Wales went to the EU in the third quarter of 2011. In fact, only Scotland had a lower proportion of exports with the EU in that period.
Will this mean any downturn in the eurozone will affect Wales less than the majority of other UK regions? Certainly, there has been a gradual long-term decline in the proportion of Welsh exports that go to EU countries since 1999, with the export profile of Wales changing considerably since devolution. While Europe is still a key partner, the fact we have moved away from a dependency of 75% on the EU back in 2002 to 40% in 2011 shows that, thankfully, we now have a far more balanced exporting economy.
Indeed, our main trading partner for the year September 2010-11 was not any European nation but the United States, which takes almost a quarter of all exports from Wales. In fact, during the last year, the US has experienced the largest growth in exports (up £639m) followed by the United Arab Emirates (up £371m) and the Irish Republic (up £281m).
A further piece of good news is that the relative importance of exporting has grown in Wales in the past 12 years and now accounts for 4.6% of all UK exports as compared to 3.7% in 1999. However, Europe has played only a minor part in this growth – the total value of EU exports has only increased by 17% during 1999-2011 while overall Welsh exports have gone up in value by 107% over the same period.
Some credit must go to the Welsh Government and its now defunct division, International Business Wales (IBW), for this performance. While the focus has been on IBW's performance in attracting inward investors, it must be remembered that another key role was the development of various programmes to encourage greater internationalisation among Welsh companies, mainly though trade missions across the World.
But we mustn't forget that it is not only the Welsh Government that offers support to companies in Wales to export. While support for trade development is devolved, the UK Government's trade arm – UKTI – can also provide various support measures to support companies in Wales trading overseas.
For example, the UKTI's Overseas Market Introduction Service is a flexible business tool that lets British companies commission the services of trade teams located in overseas missions across the world. The Market Visit Support programme also provides assistance to new-to-export or new-to-market SMEs visiting overseas markets as part of their trade development process. However, in this respect, UKTI also provides some direct funding to the Welsh Government to support their own mission programmes.
UKTI also works in partnership with other organisations to deliver internationalisation initiatives. For example, the Export Marketing Research Scheme is an initiative run by the British Chambers of Commerce as a contractor to UKTI. It provides advice and co-funding (at up to £5,000 per project) for eligible companies to carry out their own market research overseas. The Chambers can also provide support for an export communications review, which examines a company's strategic communications approach to trading overseas.
And the surprise is that, despite there being direct services to exporters available from the Welsh Government, UKTI supported 376 Welsh companies last year. But more could, and should, be done to help businesses take full advantage of exporting opportunities. In fact, Welsh companies still only account for 2.6% of all UK exporters despite the growth in the value of exports since 1999, which suggests considerable potential within the Welsh business community for further overseas growth during 2012 if only the right support and advice was available.
However, that can only be achieved if there is better co-ordination and co-operation between the Welsh Government's international branch and the UKTI in 2012. Not only could this begin a long overdue entente cordiale between the two administrations but, more importantly, should benefit the Welsh economy at a time when businesses need all the help they can get.
