Example text
Augustine in the West God's unity was paramount on philosophical grounds. In his understanding, the one God unfolded into diversity through knowledge and love of himself. But also, be it noted, the Augustinian view followed the order of revelation: the God first revealed as one in the Old Testament was finally revealed as threefold in the New. My own view is that these considerations do not settle the matter. Faith acknowledges in God a dialectical tension between the unity of being and the diversity of persons that does not allow an absolute priority of either member of the dialectic over the other, while theology, for the sake of rationality, has to choose one or the other as a starting-point.
Therefore the work of God's grace, reclaiming us through his Spirit, is to bring about our return to him in our personal and communal history through the overcoming of our alienation from him and the achievement of our fulfillment in him. " The Holy Spirit unites us to Christ and thus to the Father, and so the taxis becomes Holy Spirit -- Son -- Father. If there were no other operative considerations, we might be tempted to accept Matthias Scheeben's image of a "conductor" (presumably a lightning conductor) to explain this.
But the force of this argument or assertion is not clear. There is no logical connection that demands a correlation of an internal differentiation within God and -22God's actual self-communication to human existence. If God were conceived as single, simple, spiritual, personal, and sovereignly free subject, this characterization of God could of itself account for God's self-communication to Jesus and each human being. 51 This would be true only if on the basis of revelation God's selfcommunication to Jesus had to be recognized as exactly the same as that made to each human being; but we know on the same basis (a point Rahner takes for granted) that in a differentiated sense they are different.

Training Christians for Outreach
The second in a series of articles by Chuck Westra about Creating a Mission Mindset in your congregation
Read the first article in the series here.
This past month, one of the founding members of our congregation died. He knew for several weeks that his physical death was near at hand. He had been battling cancer for some time. In the last weeks of his life he turned nearly every conversation to spiritual matters. I was blessed to be privy to some of those conversations. He would start out like this: "I know that I am going to be in heaven very soon. I would like to talk about you…" He would then proceed to share law and gospel with his captive audience.
My first reaction was to thank God for the Spirit worked faith that lived in his heart. I also thanked God for the Spirit worked zeal that drove him to seize this unique opportunity for sharing the life giving power of the gospel. A nostalgic walk down memory lane was inevitable. It was an emotional journey as I remembered our 22 year partnership in gospel ministry.
During that partnership in the gospel our member had been involved in considerable training in our congregational classes and seminars. We all know that his real training was through the Spirit's work in the means of grace. But perhaps he had been helped and strengthened by an intentional plan to apply those means of grace in the plan to train our members for a life of witness to the gospel.
I share just a few very simple and basic components to a congregational plan for training God's people for works of service in the realm of personal and congregational outreach. We have made it our practice in most years to offer 2 training seminars. The first occurrs in early Spring. It is a canvass training opportunity. We require it for confirmation students (law??) and use it as an opportunity to recruit new people for our summer canvass. The basics of canvassing are covered.
In the fall we often offer a second seminar. It is intended to be a second tier opportunity and focuses on training members to be involved in follow up surveys and doing law/gospel presentations.
In addition, we try to plan 2-3 weeks of study in our Sunday morning curriculum to provide a focus on our lives as witnesses to the gospel. I have used that venue on numerous occasions to provide training for law/ gospel witness.
In less formal ways, I have used "real life" examples in sermons and in Bible classes. It seems helpful to offer the members of a church the opportunity to see the proclamation of the gospel in their midst.
Utimately, we know that the work is the Lord's. He works through his means to empower witnesses for his work. It does seem wise to me that we are intentional in applying those means to training our members for witness. I pray that God bless our efforts in reaching more with the life breathing gospel.

DBS ran late in the afternoon. The stock was so weak in the morning but then suddenly after lunch towards late noon, the stock turned up a little and started to run. Longed 10 lots at a bad price at 26.46 and the stock ran to a high of 26.59 before it started to sell down a little. In the 5 minute, it looked like it's coming down so chased on momentum when it was about to run up earlier. I never expect the market to rebound today because sellers were heavy but it did. Although the rebound was not strong, still there was a window of opportunity to make $ than not trying. Looking forward to more trading tomorrow.

Streetwear and the Hip Hop Dance World gravitate towards each other. Very often when dancers think about creating a business, street fashion is on top of the list. While I am not the right person to say what it is, that connects those two worlds, I think that these creative young labels need more spotlight. I can not do this on my own, as my readership is not that big, but I can do my part by presenting some of the labels that emerged from our dance community or found their way into it.
I have put a little bit of research into this topic because it is nowhere close my core expertise. My intent writing this article was to present an overview of the existing labels and show the differences between them. I have sent some private messages and emails to the label creators asking for background info about their work. The answers I received made me rethink the approach for this post. There is a distinct pattern revealing itself – about what all these labels have in common.
fair & sustainable
organic, local, unique
These values define the visions of the label creators. Fair & sustainable or synonyms where essential in all of the answers I received or the descriptions on the official websites.
Being unique is a thing that every serious fashion label strives for. Our austrian fashion brands are no exception.
The great thing about this common ground between all the brands is that it shows a deep understanding of the needs of our society. It shows that the fashion entrepreneurs that are close to the hip-hop scene value social progress more than profits. For my understanding, this is a noble trait that you seldom find in the business world.
Let's jump into the differences, that matter far less, than the common things.
The Salzburg-based label Esteem was built upon the idea to "create some shirts for ourselves and friends". The following step to the own streetwear brand was not that far. The name stands for value, respect and acceptance.
The slogan of esteem is: create your own system.
Esteem produces all kinds of urban clothing and seeks out to fit the dancer's needs wherever possible.
Check out the official Esteem Website.
Hailing from Graz Unleash.ed was found with the primary idea to support local subcultural movements like freerunning, tricking and the artforms from the hip-hop culture. The secondary idea was to create clothing that fits. Not in a literal matter but a symbolic one. The wearer should be able to identify with the clothes.
Unleash.ed goes by the slogan: by the community, for the community.
The primary products of unleashed are shirts and pullovers adorned with inspiring and creative sayings.
Visit the unleash.ed Facebook Page.
From the Soul is based in Innsbruck and takes the idea of sustainability one step further, by using clothes that are already there. The from the soul vintage market is a well-curated selection of second-hand clothing that is chosen with the urban dancer in mind. The majority of the pieces are sports clothing from the 80s and 90s as well as parts that fit the overall style of the era.
Their slogan: From The Soul, for the soul.
From the Soul has self-produced shirts and caps too and is working on finding suppliers they want to work with for the production of more stuff.
Check out the From the Soul Facebook Page.
Rachlé Art resides in Klagenfurt and is all about customs. They design most of their work per hand, directly onto the clothes. The items that are created this way are truly unique. The focus is on extraordinary and colourful designs that resemble the spirit of the customs from the origins of the hip-hop culture.
Take a look at their pieces on the Rachlé Art Facebook Page.
not something for everyone – but for someone
Urban Artists Wear is a label that is focused on key-pieces for the hip-hop dancer. They see "the own style" not only as a way to express through the art of the four traditional elements but also an aesthetic presentation of one's individuality through fashion. The search for possibilities to be individual in the pabulum of the big sports labels was a significant reason to found the brand.
All the items are self-designed and use patterns that differ from the norm while using established ideas from within the scene, like the oversized look. Jackets, shirts, pants, bags and more are hand-crafted as single items or in a low number of pieces.
Follow Urban Artists Wear on Instagram.
Mützenmafia (german for capmafia) is specialised on hand-crafting stylish caps, beanies and headbands. The company from Graz started creating headwear after desperately looking for it in a cold winter. As there were no satisfying options, the task was to develop it themselves.
Mützenmafia provides quality items to keep your head warm and stylish – no matter if it is cold weather or bad hair day.
Take a look at the Mützenmafia Online Shop.
Vresh is not directly tied to the urban dance scene, but their clothes found their way into our realm nonetheless. Their clothes are meant to support people and projects from music, sport and the creative sector without going into a niche. They support what they like.
Their designs fit a wide range of demands, and it is easy to find something you like.
Follow us to the official website of Vresh.
Which of these brands will have the right items for you is a matter of personal taste. That is not a thing we have to discuss. Important is: no matter who you buy from, in all the cases above you support a company that upholds essential values instead of putting money in a conscienceless economy that only strives for profit.
There are some more brands that I did not get enough info from. Therefore, there might be a second chapter of this one in the future.
When we want something but have limited resources to make it happen, we usually find creative ways to get what we want. That is the essence of creating artificial constraints for our dance practise.
Artists and creative entrepreneurs use the technique of artificial constraints to spark creativity in their work with great success. To use this method in dance we give ourselves limited options of what we can do. Depending on the purpose of our practise we can either delete some things from our repertoire or only allow very limited options..
As an example: Most of us have so-called fallback moves. There are the moves that we know in and out. The moves we can execute perfectly, no matter the circumstances. If those are too predominant in our freestyle we give ourselves the constraint of not using them at all.
There are a series of constraints that are common:
This list is of course not complete and it can never be, because you can come up with your own constraints and you should. It's your dance, not somebody elses.
Let us know your favourite practise constraints in the comments.
Dig deeper into dance concepts with the following posts:
Basic questions to ask every Move | Conquer the Space | Pendulum
Every great thing that happens has it's roots somewhere. Hip hop freestyle is based on social dances and breaking took a lot from rocking and martial arts. Even krumping, which is not officially hip hop, can not deny that it has roots inside the hip hop culture. The music we krump to evolved from hip hop music, some of the moves that are used in krumping have been there before in the hip hop dance styles.
And you know what? There is nothing bad about that. Cultural movements can part, despite the fact of having common roots. What's not ok, is denying your roots. None of us would be doing what we do, without the people who layed down the foundation. And there is a foundation to everything new, because nothing comes from nowhere.
If you have inspiration in other things, don't deny it, own it.
Quality of movement is a term that comes up often when you are talking with professional dancers. Depending on who you are talking to, it might have a slightly different meaning, but in general it refers to how good a movement is executed. In my personal point of view this translates directly into how beautiful a move looks. Some people might have a different opinion on this. For the sake of this blog, we will ignore those other opinions. My blog, my rules. 🙂
No matter if we learn a new move or try to polish an old one, doing it slow helps us being more conscious about what we do instead of relying on the autopilot to take over. The more moves we have the higher the chances that we apply techniques of another similar move instead creating the muscle memory for the new or changed one. While the results can be quite as good, we miss the topic of creating or polishing.
An additional benefit of moving slow is that we focus more on details of the movement. Being clear about all the details of a move results in cleaner execution.
Last but not least: moving slower gives us more time to come up with new ways.
If you have different experiences with moving slow while creating or learning, feel free to let us know in the comments.

Pendulum is a pretty easy concepts that is very similar to Equilibrium. A pendulum goes from one side to the other and back again. So this is what we use as the guideline to create our dance.
I use two versions of pendulum:
Basic Pendulum: You make a move or a way to the one side, come to a stop and go to the other side. That is all you need to start creating with basic pendulum. The reach, the way to go and the speed are all yours decide. And don't forget to dance your ways from one side to the other.
Turning Pendulum: Here are no ways or moves to the sides but we use rotation instead. You are doing a rotation to one side, stop and continue to the other side. You decide how far and how fast you turn. I tend to do most of the rotations slow to give me the time to fill it up with a lot of moves, but that is only personal preference.
This is an easy one, enjoy it and get creative without thinking to much. The concept stuff is here to set us free in the dance, not cage us.

A lot of artists that are building their reputation are used to do a lot of stuff themselves, even stuff that is not really their core competency. We get so comfortable with doint it all, that there is a risk of thinking we can do everything that is related to our work better than others.
Most of the time this happens due to us not having the money to hire experts for some parts of the production. Later when we might have the money or we find people that can do the job, we think it is needless. We overlook that there is a big difference between a job done because we can do it and a job done by an expert who is really good at it.
I just saw this in the festival distribution of our movie Elsewhere. I have sent the movie to festivals myself and we got some screenings. Now a festival agency is taking care of that and within the first month of the cooperation we had new screening and won an award.
As a reminder to myself and everyone who finds himself in the situation from time to time: if you let people do the work they are good at, it pays off.
One question that comes up frequently in beginner classes or even some intermediate classes is: "why do we have to count the music?".
The answer is very simple. Counting is THE way to navigate inside music. All western music that is based on notes (and this is at least 99% of the music that we use to dance) is created on a numeric system. Musicians give numbers to bars and notes. These act like a gps or a map. So everybody can play the music together.
For us dancers, it is the easiest way to communicate the relation between our moves and the music. And while you can learn a part of a city or a piece of music by heart, as soon as you move to new territory counting will come in handy.
If you only dance solo for yourself, then you can skip counting because you can work with your intuition, but as soon as you want to dance together with others you need to count. When you want to learn or teach choreography you must be able to count. When you want to talk to musicians, you must be able to count to get somewhere fast. If you want to make dance your job, you must be able to count.
It's not hard. We will cover the basics soon. Don't wing it.
Fill in the Blanks is a simple concept to create variation within your vocabulary of movement. It works with every movement that has multiple parts. In between two parts of the same move there is some free "space" where we can insert something new.
Let's take any regular two step movement as an example. It consists of two steps. By filling in the blank we would add an additional movement between step 1 and step 2 and therefore create a more advanced version of the original movement.
If you apply this idea to some of your moves, you will see it opens up a lot of possibilities for advancing your stuff.
During the christmas holidays Elsewhere was screened at CHHATRAPATI SHIVAJI INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL and received an award in the category "Best Editing". Congratulationsto to the whole team and this time especially to Berni Weiß.
Good job.

Prep Time: 8 Hours
Yields: 12–16 Appetizer Servings
The Chinook Indians of the Pacific Northwest created this dish by smoking honey and salt rubbed salmon over Alder wood fires. This would preserve the salmon and create a sweet, smoky crust over the meat. It is indeed a delicacy not often enjoyed today outside that region.
2 pounds wild King salmon
½ cup soy, teriyaki or Worchester sauce
2 tbsps dark brown sugar
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
¾ tsp minced fresh ginger
1 tsp liquid smoke
¾ tsp cracked black pepper
Using a sharp boning knife, cut salmon into 1-inch wide by ¾-inch thick strips then set aside. Place all ingredients other than salmon into a small saucepot and whisk to blend well. Bring mixture to a rolling boil and cook 1 minute to dissolve all ingredients. Pour the marinade into a glass bowl and allow to cool thoroughly to room temperature. When cool, marinade salmon for at least 45 minutes but no longer than 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat your home-style smoker to 150°F and soak ½ quart of apple, persimmon or other fruit smoked wood in water. NOTE: You may wish to use a home-style dehydrator in place of the smoker, simply follow directions for Jerky processing. When all is ready, place salmon on the smoker and cook for 4–6 hours depending on consistency of heat. Try your best to maintain 150°F temperature. Store in a tight lid jar and eat as a wonderful snack or appetizer treat.

My phone lights up, vibrates against the table and chimes. Text message. I crush to visualize and my heart skips a beat for a flash. It's from her.
"Hey, I'm bored… you must head over."
I'm a bit torn with what to try and do, she's such a tease however I keep telling myself that perhaps this only once she'll vary thus I head over.
A few minutes later I'm standing on her doorsill and she's responsive the door, barefoot, in a very cute very little sundress. Her inexperienced eyes sparkle and she or he grabs the front of my shirt, propulsion Maine within. I'm a bit greatly surprised however I follow her within, closing the door behind Maine. She stops short inflicting Maine to run into her and she or he takes the chance to grind her ass into Maine. She flips her blonde hair over her shoulder and appears Maine sq. within the eye, then winks.
"So, wanna watch a picture show or something?"
She's gotta be humourous. She referred to as Maine up here much within the middle of the night to look at a movie? I will tell she doesn't suppose tonight are going to be any completely different from before. She calls Maine over, teases Maine to the purpose of frustration so kicks Maine out. Not tonight.
"Not specifically what I had in mind…"
She appearance up at Maine and puts on her best pouty expression, one finger taking part in lazily with very cheap of her sundress. I can't take it.
"Ok fine, what picture show did you have got in mind?"
She giggles and runs over to her stack of DVDs, ensuring to bend over at the waist rather than motion down. I will see she's not sporting something beneath. What a fucking tease. I crush behind her and run my hand across her ass. She whirls around as she slaps my hand away.
"Ah ah ah, no touching!"
She flashes a stunning smile at Maine so turns back around, bending over even slower and additional deliberately. My eyes slender and that i will feel my patience running skinny. This has been happening for weeks! Her hands move before of her and that i suppose she's picked out a picture show. She stands up, turns around and with the foremost angelic face I've ever seen illustrated a blank videodisk case. I ignore the videodisk case, her sundress is force down simply a bit quite before and that i will tell she's not sporting a undergarment.
"Found one!"
She starts to maneuver past Maine, pauses, stands au fait her tiptoes and whispers into my ear, her nipples pressing into my chest.
"Enjoying the show?"
I will feel her hot breath on my ear so it's gone. That's it, I've had it. I can't take from now on of this teasing! once I finally get my respiration in restraint and switch to seem for her she's over on the couch, legs unfold wide and her sundress hiked up to her waist with a devious smile on her face.
"How concerning now?"
I step across the space quickly, grab one in all her extended legs and spin her around onto her abdomen.
"Hey, what area unit you doing?!"
"You're such a fuckin' tease, you recognize that? I bet you've simply been looking forward to somebody to finally stop taking it and provides it to you!"
I grab her wrists and hold them behind her back, they're thus small I will work them each in one hand. She struggles a small amount however she's not within the position to interrupt my grip. i take advantage of my knees to unfold her legs and let my blank check run down her thigh, then make a copy to her pussy. It's dripping wet already.
"See? You're already wet and every one you've been doing is 'putting on a show'."
She opens her mouth to talk however nothing comes out. I will tell she very needs it. I slide one finger within her, it goes in with none bother. I will her respiration obtain simply a bit so I pull my finger out. She whimpers, barely audibly, and turns her head. Her lips area unit compound and her inexperienced eyes appear to be burning. I hold my hand up to her face and her tongue flits bent on lick it, she cranes her neck forward to urge a more robust style however I pull my hand away.
"Ah ah ah, this can be MY course."
With that, I create a show of golf shot my finger into my mouth and consumption all drop of her juices off it. currently she's evident daggers at Maine. She tastes wonderful. I shop around the space, see her robe draped across a chair and a thought sparks into my head. I reminisce at her and slip 2 fingers within her, curling them slightly. Her back arches and she or he lets out a louder moan. I pull my fingers out.
"Stay here, on your knees."
"No buts. Stay. Here."
I stare into her eyes, she appearance back and forth between mine so slumps.
"Ok fine."
I jilting of her wrists, rise and visit her robe. The sash remains there. propulsion the soft sash out I walk back to her, marveling at however lovely she appearance along with her hair distributed out across the couch, her arms still behind her albeit I'm not holding her any longer. Her legs unfold promiscuously. Fuck she is hot. I tie her hands behind her back and pull her make a copy till she's motion. I flip her towards Maine.
"You understand what you've gotten yourself into currently don't you?"
Without breaking eye contact she nods at Maine.
My hands area unit trembling currently as I unfasten my jeans. I can't believe this can be happening! My jeans fall to the ground and her eyes widen a small amount once she sees however onerous i'm. I smile inside and hook my thumbs into the cincture of my boxer-briefs. Slowly I pull them down, property simply the tip of my cock free. Her eyes area unit affixed to that, transfixed. I doubt she notices the approach she licks her lips. The briefs continue their slow break my legs, revealing additional and additional of myself.
Her lips half and she or he leans forward, her tongue stands out and tentatively touches the bottom of my cock. I take a breakthrough and she or he opens her mouth wider, taking one in all my balls into the wet heat of her mouth. A shiver runs up my spine and that i will feel her suck in. I can't let her take hold of matters once more. I turn away and straighten my cock before of Maine, she opens her mouth. I slap her face gently with my cock. She shakes her head and stares up at Maine. I slap her with it once more.
"Open your mouth."
She does. I slide myself into her waiting mouth and another shiver runs up my spine. I keep pushing into her, my hands grip the rear of her head. Her mouth is sort of halfway down my cock. I begin to fuck her mouth, slowly initially however the feeling is unimaginable. I can't management myself and that i begin to thrust my hips quicker. I will feel myself obtaining shut once some minutes of this and that i pull out. She's panting for breath however I look down and her nipples area unit rock onerous, her hair may be a mess and her face is flushed.
I wait a flash, let her get her breath back. She appearance up at Maine, her eyes semi-glazed with lust.
"Let Maine end it, please."
I can't resist, I slap her doubly across the face with my cock once more so shove it into her mouth. this point she has Maine able to bodily fluid in but a second. I tell her that. All she will is begin to bob her head quicker.
"I'm going… to cum… in your mouth."
She stops, however I keep moving her head.
"And you're aiming to swallow. Every. Single. Drop."
She appearance up at Maine, she will be able to see the determination in my eyes. She nods, and that i begin to bodily fluid. My cock twitches over and once more and that i will tell she's troubled to breath and swallow it all. I finally stop cumming and appearance down at her face. She's out of breath, and there's a drop of my bodily fluid still on her lips however she appearance content.
I pull my pants up and switch to travel and she or he stammers.
"Wh–where area unit you going?"
"Home. I'll be back tomorrow."

Review: Guster's Look Alive Is the Sound of a Band Rejuvenated
Guster's eighth album buzzes with inventiveness, charm, and youthful dynamism.3.5
Guster has long been associated with "college rock," and not without reason. Even though every member of the Boston-based band is now over 40, they still make bright, hyper-polished alt-pop tailor-made for campus radio. The band's eighth album, Look Alive, adds synths and contemporary production flourishes to their sonic repertoire, but all the hallmarks of their sound remain: winsome melodies, soaring hooks, and tight, immaculate songcraft that combines the best of Britpop, 1960s folk, and post-grunge.
Like most Guster albums, Look Alive has a few duds, a few modest successes, and at least one showstopper—a song that makes you wonder why the band was never more successful. On 2006's Ganging Up on the Sun, that song was "Satellite," a shimmering power-pop masterpiece that split the difference between the Shins and Neutral Milk Hotel. Here, it's "Hard Times," which also happens to be the least Guster-like track on the album. Drenched in Auto-Tune, buzzing synth frequencies, and stadium-ready percussion, the song doesn't sound anything like "Satellite," let alone like the band's output before 2000. Yet, true to form, it's a remarkable piece of pop. "Sinister systems keep us satisfied/These are hard times," Ryan Miller wails. It's a simple statement, but it makes for a stunning chorus, and Miller's effusive delivery renders it the most cathartic moment on the album.
On "Not for Nothing," the band ventures into dream-rock territory, surrounding themselves with icy synth textures that wouldn't sound out of place on a Wild Nothing track, while "Hello Mister Sun" is unabashed bubblegum pop that pays homage to whimsical Paul McCartney tracks like "Penny Lane" and "Good Day Sunshine." Likewise, the sprightly "Overexcited" bounces along with a spoken-word verse and pounding, piano-centric chorus. While none of these tracks tackle complex themes, they're playful, infectious, and eminently listenable.
Many of Guster's best-known songs delve into same subject matter: newfound love, crippling heartache, the pain of being young, restless, and alone. Yet much of Look Alive is more elliptical. "Maybe we're all criminals and this is just the scene of a crime," Miller sings ambiguously on "Terrified," forcing the listener to fill in the blanks. "Summertime" similarly defies easy explanation: Brimming with obscure religious imagery, whispered background vocals, and references to an unspecified war, it follows no logical narrative, instead allowing the track's mood—a feeling of triumph over some great adversity—to tell the story.
For better and worse, Look Alive's production mimics the spacious, '80s-inspired aesthetic that pervades much of contemporary indie-rock. "Don't Go" transplants a prototypical Guster melody into a synth-soaked songscape, while the title track seems expressly engineered for Spotify's Left of Center playlist. Still, the album never feels like the work of aging musicians struggling to stay relevant; it buzzes with inventiveness, charm, and youthful dynamism.

Review: Chaka Khan's Hello Happiness Runs on Good Vibes
As its titles suggests, the R&B singer's first album in 12 years radiates positivity.3.5
"I'm tired of hearing bad news," Chaka Khan sings on the title track of her 13th solo album, Hello Happiness. The last time the singer was in the news, in 2016, she was entering rehab to treat an addiction to fentanyl, the same drug that killed Prince. Given the general sense of ennui that's endemic to life in the 21st century, you'd be forgiven for expecting a more morose Chaka Khan in 2019. But as its title suggests, her first album in 12 years radiates positivity.
Hello Happiness's breezy sensibility is intrinsic to its design. The 27-minute-long album's opening track begins with a kind of mantra: "Music makes me sing/Goodbye sadness/Hello happiness." The ebullient "Like a Lady" is punctuated with serotonin-spiking disco string stabs, while the chorus—"Ooh, you make me feel like a lady, baby/Ooh, I think I'm falling in love"—feels timeless and nostalgic. If it isn't enough to put a smile on your face the first time around, Khan repackages the whole song again on the closing track "Ladylike," pairing the same verses and chorus with a more up-front melody and a sparkling acoustic guitar hook.
Much of the credit for Hello Happiness's relentlessly good vibes goes to co-producers Switch (formerly of Major Lazer) and singer-songwriter Sarah Ruba Taylor, who plunder the sounds of Khan's 1970s and '80s output for a mélange of styles and textures, from the fat Bernie Worrell-like synthesizers and fuzz-laced guitars of "Don't Cha Know" to the echoing dub effects of "Isn't That Enough." Sometimes the production steals the spotlight a little too much: With its infectious Fatback Band-interpolating bassline, lead single "Like Sugar" barely needs Khan's vocals to make you groove. Her placement in the tracks, often deep in the mix and drenched in reverb, can give the impression that she's a guest on another artist's remix.
Yet, it's worth applauding Khan, who turns 66 next month, for continuing to make an album as vital and contemporary-sounding as Hello Happiness. Few artists still releasing new music as they approach their fifth decade in the business are producing work like this, with an ear to dance floors rather than the Grammys and NPR. One need only hear the sizzling man-eater's blues of "Too Hot" to know that Khan is still in fine voice. On Hello Happiness, she pairs those ageless pipes with some of the most danceable music in her career.

Review: Yola's Walk Through Fire Feels Like a Musical Time Capsule
The British soul singer's debut seems to have emerged from a time capsule circa 1969.3.5
Everything about Yola's debut, Walk Through Fire, seems to have emerged from a time capsule circa 1969—from the album cover, with its muted color palette and chunky vintage fonts, to the musical arrangements, which mix baroque-pop signifiers like glockenspiel and pizzicato strings with more timeless organ and pedal steel. The album's session musicians are of a similar vintage: Drummer Gene Chrisman and pianist Bobby Wood are both veterans of the house band from American Sound Studio in Memphis, ground zero for Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds" and Dusty Springfield's Dusty in Memphis.
It's tempting to ascribe this studious retro sensibility to producer Dan Auerbach, whose 2017 solo album, Waiting on a Song, treaded similar territory with some of the same musicians. But Yola, whose colorful backstory includes a brief stint with trip-hoppers Massive Attack, has a voice that lends itself to the analogue treatment: rich and mellifluous, adept at both caressing the melodies of a lilting ballad like "Shady Grove" and blowing the roof off of a belter like "Lonely the Night." The British singer simply sounds like the product of another era, closer in spirit to the likes of Mavis Staples than to 21st-century R&B stylists like SZA.
If Through the Fire sounds like it's from 1969, that's because the late '60s were the golden era of country-soul, when a small but significant group of artists, songwriters, and producers were blurring the boundaries between working-class black and white roots music. Yola, who's cited Dolly Parton as a crucial influence, is right at home in this space, sounding as natural singing atop the fiddles and pedal steel of lead single "Ride Out in the Country" as she does over the organ and horn section of "Still Gone." The ease with which Yola, Auerbach, and their collaborators blend these genres is a powerful reminder of their shared roots—particularly at a time when musical styles feel at once more amorphous and more rigidly segregated than ever.
While Through the Fire's facsimile of '60s country-soul is uncanny, the sturdiness of its songcraft is even more impressive. Yola and Auerbach composed the majority of the album with seasoned songwriters—most notably Dan Penn, who as the co-writer of standards like "The Dark End of the Street" and "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man" played no small role in the creation of country-soul as a genre. None of the songs on Through the Fire are of quite that caliber, and some feel like they're trying too hard to be: The subject matter of "Ride Out in the Country" is a bit too bucolically on the nose, while a few stray lyrical references to "across the great divide" and "love [is] a losing game" come across as distracting tips of the hat to more canonical—and, frankly, better—songs. But on tracks like "Keep Me Here" and "It Ain't Easier," Yola seems capable of not only expertly mimicking the sounds of the past, but also creating something that will itself stand the test of time.

Review: Tedeschi Trucks Band's Signs Points to Better Times Ahead
The band's raw, crowd-pleasing blues-rock remains as rousing as ever on Signs.3.5
Tedeschi Trucks Band's raw brand of blues-rock is a thrilling resurrection of bygone genres endemic to the southeastern United States, and they play with the freewheeling improvisatory energy of hallowed country-rock bands like the Allman Brothers, Little Feat, and Black Oak Arkansas. The group's sound hasn't noticeably evolved since their 2011 debut, Revelator, but their craft—particularly the electrifying, full-throated howl of singer Susan Tedeschi—remains as rousing as ever on their fourth album, Signs.
Lead single "Hard Case" fuses Americana, Memphis soul, and New Orleans swamp funk to tell the story of lovers who can't quit each other. Tedeschi's wails seamlessly intertwine with Matt Mattison's gruff warble. "You're a hard case to refuse," Tedeschi sings, her voice tinged with both overwhelming desire and a creeping sense of self-doubt. Like most Tedeschi Trucks songs, "Hard Case" attempts to capture the blistering kinetic energy of the band's live performances, and it mostly succeeds: The drums pummel, the solos meander, and the guitars, expertly played by Tedeschi's husband, Derek Trucks, unexpectedly leap forward.
"Hard Case" is the closest Signs comes to matching the unbridled dynamism of "Part of Me," a soaring standout from 2013's Made Up My Mind. Yet the album also contains a handful of irrepressible trad-rock jams that allow Tedeschi's vocals to take center stage, as on the Motown-inspired "I'm Gonna Be There" and "They Don't Shine." On "Walk Through This Life," her voice veers from exuberant and unrestrained to subtle and declarative, yet it never loses its luster, evoking, at turns, that of Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Nicks, and Gladys Knight.
Many Americana outfits have become sociopolitical observers in the Trump era, and Tedeschi Trucks Band is no different. "Signs, Hard Times" is a blue-eyed soul rave-up that calls on bystanders to get off the sidelines in a time when passivity amounts to complicity. "No more fooling around," Tedeschi shouts, urging us to take action before it's too late. Yet, at times, their activist message comes off as stilted. "Shame, there's poison in the well/Shame, you know we can't un-ring the bell," Tedeschi proclaims on "Shame." It's a well-intentioned but ultimately shallow truism—a lyric that states the obvious without offering any solutions.
At their best, the songs on Signs bristle with a kind of wide-eyed optimism. On "Still Your Mind," Tedeschi seems to sum up the album's mission: "You're not alone/So many people feel that low/But I'll help you grow." While not without its flaws, Signs heals in this way. It's often so joyous and spirited that, for a moment, it's easy to envision better times ahead.

Submitted by the Executive Council
Referred to the Legislation and Policy Committee
ADDRESSING GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE, protecting our environment and achieving energy independence are critical to the economic, environmental and security interests of the United States. America must lead a technological revolution in the way energy is generated and used with massive investments in new laborenhancing technologies and energy efficiency. But a new industrial policy—an environmental economic development policy—is needed to guarantee that these investments are made in the United States and that they result in good sustainable union jobs here at home.
Workers in America and across the world recognize the risks inherent in climate change, but we also share a bold vision for a cleaner environment that carries the promise of millions of good green jobs and a revival of the middle class and domestic manufacturing. The trade union movement wants an environmental economic development strategy that achieves a just transition to a greener economy.
A just transition to a greener economy requires an aggressive sustained commitment of national resources to create and retain good union jobs in the United States, increase per capita income, modernize industry, develop and deploy technology and educate and train current and future workers. It requires assistance for any workers, families or communities that may be adversely affected by the transition, and a democratic voice for workers in their workplaces and in their communities.
Already the AFL-CIO has played a leading role in laying out a new greener and more sustainable direction for our country by promoting infrastructure and green investments in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and in climate legislation now being considered by Congress. The federation has supported a diverse, sustainable energy infrastructure that retains current generating options, including fossil fuels, nuclear, hydro and renewable energy. We have supported greater funding for R&D in a variety of technologies like materials sciences for manufacturing and alternative fuels development for the aviation transportation sector. While supporting investments in advanced coal and automotive technology, mass transit, renewable energy, biofuels, grid modernization, energy efficiency, weatherization and retrofits, we have fought for wage and employment standards and training resources. And recently the AFL-CIO created the Green Jobs Center at the Working for America Institute to expand our efforts to ensure that green jobs are good jobs and to assist unions in advocating for green workplaces.
We know that new public investment in new green technologies and energy efficiency has tremendous potential to create jobs. The Obama administration, the Apollo Alliance and others have estimated that every $100 billion of investment in these areas creates 1 million jobs. The annual international market for environmental products and services is projected to double from $1.37 trillion to $2.74 trillion by 2020, with energy efficiency accounting for half of this market and sustainable transport, water supply, sanitation and waste management accounting for the rest. Sectoral studies, such as the "Manufacturing Climate Solutions" series sponsored by AFL-CIO unions and the Environmental Defense Fund, demonstrate how specific clean/green technologies such as highperformance windows, auxiliary power units, LED lighting and concentrated solar thermal power contribute to job creation. An affiliate-supported study by BBC Research shows that construction of 20 gigawatts of advanced coal capacity would require approximately 500,000 direct job-years of labor. In addition to coal plants with CO2 capture, new nuclear generation also will be a necessary component of our electrical energy portfolio. Nuclear power is the only existing base-load generation technology that does not produce CO2 emissions. Using green technology, deploying advanced coal technology, modernizing the electric grid and building a new generation of nuclear power plants can create substantial long-term employment in manufacturing and construction if we make certain that the domestic U.S. supply chain produces the wire, steel, pipes and nuclear vessels that will be needed. Experience also shows that environmental remediation of superfund and brownfield manufacturing sites creates jobs and restores the productive capacity of these properties, resulting in smart growth that builds upon existing infrastructure.
We must support our transportation system so it can serve to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and, where needed, help convert certain transportation sectors to cleaner technologies. Public transportation and freight and passenger rail offer an excellent opportunity to move people and goods more efficiently while promoting good jobs. Through implementation of air traffic control modernization, aircraft can fly more efficiently and thus burn less fuel. More efficient seaports will mean less idling for both vessels and vehicles, cutting pollution output in environmentally sensitive areas. Investing in roads and highways will reduce congestion and traffic chokepoints. Moreover, investing in the greening of domestic transportation will preserve and provide good jobs here in the United States.
It matters where things are made, and new investments in a sustainable energy infrastructure must be structured to create good jobs here in the United States. Three decades ago, the United States led the world in renewable energy technology, but today too many of our energy investments create jobs in other countries. The United States is home to only two of the 10 largest solar photovoltaic producers, one of the top 10 advanced battery manufacturers and two of the top 10 wind turbine producers. Last year, less than half of the record 8,300 megawatts of wind turbines installed in the United States were made in this country.
In 2008, the United States ran an overall green trade deficit of $8.9 billion, including a deficit of $6.4 billion in the critical category of renewable energy. Our immediate goal must be to convert this trade deficit into a trade surplus.
To ensure that public investments result in the creation of good green jobs here in the United States:
- Congress must make an aggressive sustained commitment of resources to fund the energy and environmental transition of our nation. We must fund new technology, energy efficiency and the research and development that enables industries such as the aviation transportation and manufacturing sectors to transition while also assuring that these global energy price sensitive industries remain competitive. In addition, Congress must assure that R&D investments resulting in new products or technology also lead to domestic investments that create good jobs.
- Congress must enforce and strengthen Buy American and other domestic investment requirements for federal procurement and grants to states and local governments. This commitment includes tightening domestic content thresholds, requiring waiver transparency, limiting available waivers, expanding product coverage to all manufactured goods and raw materials, prohibiting project segmentation and mandating common-sense standards for product substitutability.
- Congress must enact other forms of investment criteria for public resources not covered by Buy American and related laws. For example, criteria used in earlier proposed climate legislation for the award of financial incentives to targeted manufacturers included: (1) use of domestically produced parts and components, (2) return of idle manufacturing capacity to productive service, and (3) location in states with the highest number of unemployed manufacturing workers. The use of Buy American, related regulations and domestic investment criteria can be a powerful incentive for government and industry to be more strategic in the targeting of public investments.
- Congress and the administration must adopt a manufacturing strategy that targets resources to revitalize our manufacturing base in the industrial heartland and utilizes the existing pool of skilled workers, engineering talent and idled capacity. Our energy and mass transit resources are currently spread so widely that it is difficult to maximize the potential impact of these investments. Currently there are no rules, guidance or incentives in place to ensure a more strategic approach. The federal government must encourage regional and national collaboration to achieve the following goals: common designs, system comparability and attracting the world's best technology. Our combined financial resources should be used to build new industries by leveraging private capital, international technology and to establish the entire production systems here.
- Retooling the U.S. auto industry to accelerate domestic production of advanced-technology and alternative-fuel vehicles and their key components will also create jobs in the United States. Currently, many advanced-technology vehicles are assembled overseas, and virtually all key components are built abroad. The role of a revitalized auto industry producing energyefficient cars is critical not only to the revival of the U.S. manufacturing base, but also to U.S. energy independence and to reduction of carbon emissions.
- Long-term investment in mass transit is crucial to reducing carbon emissions, enhancing workers' transportation options and creating good jobs. Increasing domestic production of transportation equipment could be an enormous boost to our manufacturing sector.
The challenge of ensuring that domestic public investment creates jobs in the United States goes hand in hand with the challenge of ensuring that the jobs created by these investments are good jobs. Not all green jobs are good jobs. Good Jobs First reports that low pay is not uncommon in emerging environmental sectors of the economy. For example, home weatherization is an industry characterized by low wages, no benefits, little training and lack of standards. Wage rates at many wind and solar manufacturing facilities are below national averages for manufacturing, and few workers in these plants belong to unions.
To ensure that green jobs are good jobs:
- Congress must establish contracting and procurement criteria to ensure that contractors and subcontractors on federally funded and assisted construction projects adhere to prevailing wage requirements and provide apprenticeship training programs, employer- paid health care, employer-paid pensions, worker safety programs and local community outreach to facilitate employment opportunities.
- Congress must establish similar criteria for manufacturing contractors and subcontractors to require them to provide full health and retirement benefits, pay wages equal to at least 100 percent of a state's average manufacturing wage and provide quality training through labormanagement partnerships, on-the-job training, skills training or other employer-based training.
- Criteria for the selection of contractors and recipients of federal funding must include compliance with existing federal laws, including all applicable labor and affirmative action laws, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, environmental laws and anti-discrimination laws. Recipients of federal funding should be required to remain neutral in union organizing campaigns. Congress must guarantee that workers whose salaries are paid in whole or in part with public funds have free choice to form unions and bargain collectively and must enforce legal protections for workers' wages and benefits.
- Congress must fully fund high-quality training programs such as the Green Jobs Act of 2007 and its competitive grant program for job training that leads to economic selfsufficiency in energy technology, efficiency and manufacturing. The Green Jobs Act authorized funding for training programs that ensure highquality training with access to occupations with career ladders and employment opportunities for residents of local communities.
- Congress must guarantee that excellent longterm assistance is readily available to workers and communities adversely affected by climate legislation. Transition assistance must include up to three years of wage and health care benefits, enhanced training, education and counseling, family assistance and support and community planning.
- Congress must establish an oversight process with accountability measures to prevent noncompliance with these criteria and employer requirements, along with public access (through the Internet) to this information. The Government Accountability Office should be directed to report to Congress regularly on outcomes relating to domestic investment, domestic employment and wages and benefits. Congress should also establish a "claw-back" mechanism to force contractors that willfully violate the law to disgorge all or part of the federal assistance they have received.
- State and local governments must support and help enforce federal domestic investment requirements. They should also establish and enforce their own domestic procurement and investment criteria. States and local governments should have an aggressive strategy to utilize public resources to attract private investment in new technology and energy efficiency, backed by good job standards. States and local governments that attach strong enforceable labor standards to economic development investments pay the highest average wages.
- State and local governments also support good jobs that can and should be green jobs. State and local government employees have a critical role to play in the transition to a
green economy—through increasing energy efficiency in public structures, ensuring the safety and purity of the air we breathe and the water we drink, or operating and maintaining a transportation system that carries us into the future. Public employers must work with their unions to ensure these employees have the skills and the opportunity to take part in this transition.
- Unions must also take responsibility for driving a good union jobs strategy at every level of government, with employers, in the workplace and with the public and private investment communities. Union members and employers have a direct stake in green workplaces that use energy cleanly and efficiently. Unions are a critical stakeholder in promoting partnerships with community allies for training and access to jobs, and for demanding strategic public investment that leverages private capital to create good jobs. State and local labor councils and their affiliates should help enforce federal domestic investment criteria and support local versions of these criteria and job standards. The AFL-CIO will work with our network of state and local labor councils to strengthen efforts to coordinate and share information on policy, strategy, experience and union expertise.
- The AFL-CIO will also continue to work with our affiliates to drive environmental, energy and infrastructure legislation with investments and standards that lead to good green jobs. The federation's Office of Investment will work on sustainable investment policies with our affiliates and the investment community to encourage public and private strategic partnerships with government in attracting new industry and green construction. The Green Jobs Center at the Working for America Institute will coordinate the many initiatives of the federation and its affiliates, create the resources and materials to support that work, inventory and support workforce development programs that support green jobs and help create pipelines that place workers in union jobs.
The Green Jobs Center and the National Labor College (NLC) will work with our affiliates to develop related core criteria for NLC degree programs and a union training program for green workplace representatives. The programs will provide training and materials for union members on facilitating the conversion of individual workplaces to sustainable environments that save energy, reduce the production of waste, use environmentally friendly products, recycle materials, maintain employee health and adopt other practices, technologies and high-performance work processes that reduce carbon emissions while retaining good jobs at family-sustaining wages.
- The AFL-CIO also remains committed to working internationally with our affiliates and the International Trade Union Confederation in support of a climate agreement that provides for a just transition. The federation and the
ITUC share a common vision for an agreement that is democratic, union empowered, creates and retains good jobs, modernizes industry, develops and deploys technology, builds skills and assists workers and communities.
- The production, transportation and distribution of electrical energy are critical to the success of the U.S. economy, and reliable affordable electrical energy is the lifeblood of the manufacturing, transportation, construction and service industries. New investments in a sustainable energy infrastructure must be structured to create good jobs, ensure stable energy prices and be supported by effective trade policies.
America has a historic opportunity for domestic investment in new technology and energy efficiency that will save jobs, create new jobs and new industries and revitalize U.S. manufacturing and the middle class. The unions of the AFL-CIO are committed to leading the fight to guarantee that these jobs will be good jobs and that these investments will be made here in the United States.

Last week the Employment Equity Commission launched the 2017/18 Employment Equity Report. As expected, the report once again showed little progress in the transformation of South African workplaces, especially at top and senior management levels. Thus, the state of employment equity leaves a lot to be desired, especially if we consider the 24-year period of the democratic dispensation in South Africa. Sadly, corporate South Africa once again are the losers, but today I want to share some of the winners with you.
Over the last few years, the month of May has been celebrated as #WorkersMonth by the Department of Labour. SABPP decided to support these efforts by launching our employment equity, diversity and transformation (EEDT) awards in the month of May. It is essential for HR Managers to be leaders in EEDT, given the fact that they are key role-players and preparing and submitting employment equity plans to the Department of Labour. In this way, HR Professionals can be seen as agents of transformation. As change management specialists, HR professionals are responsible for managing the EEDT change management processes. While government and other commentators have often criticised business for the slow pace of transformation, this year SABPP decided to focus on encouraging our HR Managers to accelerate the implementation of employment equity and affirmative action interventions in the workplace.
The 2018 EEDT award winners are as follows:
All of the above award categories were conceptualised by a specialised EEDT Committee and adjudicated by a team of senior employment equity judges. In short, the seven award categories focused on answering these questions:
I would like to congratulate the above companies with their excellent EEDT strategies and plans. They all deserved their awards and managed to achieve significant progress in employment equity. All of them have used very innovative approaches to accelerate EEDT in the workplace. In particular, a special word of congratulations to Nedbank for not only winning three of the specialist category awards, but also for being the overall winner of the 2018 EEDT Awards programme. It is therefore also no co-incidence that Richard Khumalo, the Employment Equity specialist at Nedbank was the winner of the Change Agent Award, as a result of his excellent work in driving employment equity at the bank.
While we started with the EEDT awards this year, we do hope that the awards will inspire other companies to also accelerate their EEDT efforts and programmes so that they can enter for next year's awards programme. By ensuring that the EEDT awards run on an annual basis, we can track progress and position employment equity as a top priority for HR Managers, thus continuing with professional initiatives in accelerating employment equity in the workplace. It is my wish that these awards must continue to be issued until we have achieved equality in the workplace.
I thank the HR and business community for their participation and involvement in the 2018 EEDT awards and I invite other companies and their HR professionals to join the programme in 2019. We now have a full year to intensify and improve our EEDT plans with the view of achieving even greater successes in the future. It is my wish that the EEDT Awards will play a role in turning the current slow progress in employment equity around. As an HR community, let us come to the party and show the Employment Equity Commission next year that HR will stand up as transformation change agents and transform our workplaces.
Marius Meyer is CEO of the SA Board for People Practices (SABPP), the HR and quality assurance body managing the EEDT awards programme for South Africa.

What You Must Do When Thinking Of Deep Cleaning Your House
No one's loves staying in a dirty house. Majority of the people have no idea that a clean house increases one's standard. People do not want to throw away things they do not use most of the times. Your house must be daily cleaned for it to maintained all the time. All dirt and dust are always removed through cleaning. There is consideration that one has to consider before deep cleaning your house. You will be able to stay in place where there is no dirt and dust.
You need to clean one room to another. You do not need to clean the whole house at once. You can clean the house slowly by going from one to the other until you are done with cleaning. It will make work easier for you since you will not be cleaning at the same time. Through this you will be able to know how long it takes to clean one room, from there you will be able to know where you will need to clean next. You will have an idea of the time you will spend in cleaning all the rooms. You do not need to clean every room at the same time. Through this, you will not have to stress yourself cleaning everywhere.
You can organize with the cleaning service to do the deep cleaning for you. One may not be able to do the cleaning by him or herself. You need to consider the cleaning services to do the cleaning for you. Through this, you will be able to save time since the cleaning service will have to come with their equipment for cleaning. You will not need to go to different places looking for tools to clean … Read More..

Julian Cafe (Julian, CA)
Dropping the girls off at YMCA camp today and stopped in for lunch. Julian was really packed today due to 4th of July crowds – and very hot. The Julian Cafe is packed with little oak tables in a quaint atmosphere, and the service was very good – fast and they kept our drinks filled up. We tried the following:
The BLT was sloppily made, with an entire end of romaine lettuce under the bread and two long slices of bacon with the ends sticking way out on either side. Not what I would call mouth ready, even tho the sandwich photographed well. The Cole slaw had too much mayo.
Mr A had the French Dip. Ordinary. As in boring ordinary. Meat was bland as there nothing to moisten it except for the au jus. Fries were OK.
Ms S had the plain burger. The shiny brioche bun looked nice and the Patty looked chargrilled.
The pie crust on the Apple Crumb was extremely thin. Not quite the same flaky goodness as Mom's or Julian Pie Company. Next time we'd pass but we were under a time crunch.
In conclusion, decent enough and would return with expectations properly set. Still one of the better Yelped places in Julian and I would still go here over Miner's Diner unless we were primarily looking for ice cream.

Eredivisie club from Utrecht beat third division team from Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht: 5-1.
FC Utrecht placed themselves for the third round in the TOTO KNVB cup, at the expense of ASWH. In Stadium Galgenwaard head coach Dick Advocaat's team beat their opponent from the third division 5-1.
The cross pass was perfect and Cyriel Dessers knew what to do with it. The Belgian striker received the ball from Sander van de Streek and shoved it into the goal. With a little more than fifteen minutes left the score was 3-1. A safe margin. Especially because opponent ASWH player Clarence Bijl received a red card with a 2-1 score. That card broke the resistance from the Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht team.
Van de Streek productive
With one man more, FC Utrecht did not have to fear their opponent any more. After Dessers scored the 3-1, the 4-1 and 5-1 quickly followed. Both goals were score by Van de Streek, who made the most of his time on the pitch and was chosen Man of the Match.
Quick opening goal
In the first half FC Utrecht had a hard time against ASWH. Gyrano Kerk scored a quick opening goal for the Utrecht squad, but after that the opponent from the third division put a lot of pressure on the Utrecht defense. Halfway into the first half David Jensen was beaten. Captain Jesper van den Bosch scored the 1-1 for ASWH and celebrated his goal in front of the Bunnikside.
Short-lived euphoria
The euphoria from the Ambacht team is short-lived. Seven minutes after the equalizer FC Utrecht took the lead again. This time Joris van Overeem scored for head coach Dick Advocaat's team. And even though it took a while after the break before there was another goal to celebrate, the final score did show the difference in quality between both teams: 5-1.
Draw on Saturday
With the win over ASWH FC Utrecht placed themselves for the fourth round of the TOT KNVB cup. The draw is on Saturday evening around 11 o'clock and will be live broadcasted on FOX Sports.
Another home game on Sunday

At the conclusion of Part 1, we had a single controller in our project configured as a @RestController, which returned a simple string. To start using our new Thymeleaf installation, we need to create a view, and make minor changes to our controller.
The auto-configured Thymeleaf install looks for Thymeleaf templates to be available as resources on the classpath in a folder named 'templates'.
Step 1 - Creating a Template
Thymeleaf templates are intended to be natural -- as close to straight HTML as possible, and easily interpreted by browsers and developers alike. Thymeleaf is packed with several dialects, and takes the place of JSP in the default stack provided by Spring.
Inside of src/main/resources/templates/, we need to create a new template that we'll use as our first view. Create a file named 'hello.html' that contains the following text:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head lang="en">
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<p th:text="${message}"></p>
There are two important parts of this simple example: First, in the html tag, you'll see two new attributes that set up template to be processed by Thymeleaf. This will give the page access to use the family of "th" attributes in html tags, thereby having access to the features available in the basic Thymeleaf dialect. Second, in the body of the page, there is a "p" tag with a simple "th" attribute. We'll see the usage of this shortly.
Step 2 - Modifying the Controller
As previously mentioned, our @RestController must change to return a processed view template instead of a simple String, as it does now. First, open our existing controller class, HomeController.java, and change the marker interface from @RestController on it so that it reflects a simple controller (@Controller).
@Controller public class HomeController {
In order to provide our Thymeleaf template with data to display, we need to change our method's signature to accept a Model, which we can then begin to populate. Model is much like it was in previous versions of Spring MVC – an arbitrary collection of java objects that can be displayed and bound to views. The framework will provide our controller method with an instance of a Model object for us populate. Change the "index" method on the HomeController to have the following signature:
public String index(Model model) {
Next, we'll populate the "message" attribute of the Model instance so that we can see our message in our newly created view. Update the HomeController to do just that:
@RequestMapping("/") public String index(Model model) { model.addAttribute("message", "HELLO!"); return "hello"; }
Start your server to see our new page in action.

You must attend the specified programs, pass the examinations, obtain your permit, lease or get a room, and lastly, market your services. A lot of successful enterprises start from simple beginnings. So in case you're considering beginning your own physical therapy practice at home, you have already obtained one foot off the ground. In case you're totally new to the experience of starting a .pany, here's the way to start: Attend the necessary courses Before you can launch your own .pany, you must attend the required classes in order to learn as much as you could regarding the industry. The more expertise you gain, the more beneficial and also powerful your therapy sessions and the greater your patient fulfillment. Apart from this, just because you are planning on starting a physical therapy enterprise doesn't indicate you must limit your scope of expertise to only physical therapy-related classes. Considering the fact that you'll be managing your own business, you should equip yourself with the main tools to succeed in the business. Arm yourself with classes in physical therapy marketing, sales as well as any other further knowledge which will be best for you somewhere later on. Pass the tests Different states have different regulations regarding physical therapy services. Be sure to sort these legal concerns out prior to deciding to start your corporation as you might risk getting penalized if you crack any state laws. Most states need physical therapists to take a state assessment as an evidence of their own proficiency as well as knowledge. You should approach your regional authority to get a clearer idea of what is required by your state. Get your permit Having surpassed the state exams, you're midway to beginning your own practice. As soon as you've got all of your papers ready, you should visit the regional council and make application for a legal permit. This is very important not only to make sure that you adhere to the legislations, but your patients would feel much more confident in your abilities particularly if you have legal evidence of your .petency. Besides that, it is absolutely unlawful to operate an enterprise with no proper permit. Rent or maybe get a room Once you have sorted out the documents, now you can start hunting or buying a room or even house to rent for your business. Take the time to consider every aspect, including the cost, convenience as well as place before purchasing a place. You can also start shopping around for equipment along with other amenities that you might require once you are in the business. Do not forget to give your own practice some touches of house to help your patients feel more .fortable and relaxed. Advertise your products and services Spread the word regarding your enterprise to your network of friends and relatives, or print flyers to deliver around the .munity. You can also put an advertisement in the local newsletters or bulletins, to ensure that individuals will know that you've launched your business. Be inventive and also creative with regards to marketing and advertising your .pany since this will reflect on your personality and eventually help you make a mark in the market. Businesses are usually hard to start off, but once you're off the ground and as long as you arm yourself with the right management skills, you'll find that it gets easier as you gain more confidence and experiences along the way.

Construction of New Sports Activity Centre & Classroom Suite Begins
The construction of Selby High School's fantastic new PE & sports activity centre, classroom suite and state of the art changing rooms started today. The 'breaking ground ceremony' was attended by Mr Grant Gibson, Chair of the Board of Governors, Mr Andrew Kelsey from GS Kelsey Limited, the construction company, Mr Paul Eckersley, Headteacher, Mr Stuart Lewis, Deputy Headteacher, Mrs Kerry Longley, Commercial Director and Mr Richard Morrice, Glenrate Project Management Limited.
The building is the result of fifteen month's work to secure the planning permission and finance. It will be ready for use by February 2017 and this week the major ground work starts, with the steel work being brought to site in July.
The £1.2 million development will provide new, inclusive access to the sport hall as well as changing and showering facilities for those with disabilities. Above the new changing rooms, four classrooms and an administration area will provide students with a high quality learning environment, whilst the existing changing rooms will be converted into a classroom and fitness suite.
This is one of a long line of improvements totalling more than £5m that have been secured by Paul Eckersley over the last decade, and is the third new building to be constructed during his headship.
Not only will this be an excellent new facility for the students of Selby High School, the changing rooms will also be available for use by the many clubs and associations that use the school site in the evening and at weekends and the fitness suite will available for hire. Local football including 5 a-side clubs, rugby sessions, cricket teams and badminton clubs will all enjoy the improved space.
The design and planning process has been really exciting for everyone involved. Paul Eckersley, Headteacher said, "Physical wellbeing is a really important aspect in nurturing the whole student and as such, they will soon have the high quality facilities they deserve. I am confident these will encourage more young people to become actively involved in sport and at the same time, provide the school with much needed extra teaching spaces. We are all really looking forward to the new centre opening in February 2017."

Will this one work? http://www.nashcom.de/nshweb/pages/startscript.htm
I think the ask here is that there is a IBM supported method. The nashcom.de is one that perhaps could be incorporated into the supported build ( we use it on all our instances, works great ).

|February 13, 2011: Today is Sunday which means it's the beginning of Love a Mensch Week. Hooray! We have researched to discover that Mensch is a Yiddish word meaning; decent, respectable, men or woman who you could bring home to mom and pop. We also researched to discover that Yiddish is a high German language of Ashkenazi Jewish origin. Now take a breather because we all just learned a lot.
The gentleman above would be a fine example of the male Mensch specimen in the midwestern region of the United States. These guys seem to be fun, loving, and outdoorsy. Good luck this week with finding the perfect Mensch.

Just published that:
Building in SL to import in HF
Just published that:
Nice work.
You should probably put a side note on polygon count and optimization. Anything prim or sculpty models prototyped in SL are fregging heavy in polygons (come on, 2048 tris for a sculpty, and 108 per cube prim used, another few k per torus?). All of those tend to bloat size excessively and contribute to SL / Opensim loss of frames.
High Fidelity is after all an HMD based VR world, and target frames should be at high 90s on an average.
so it wouldn't hurt to as an advanced topic to dwell on that as well.
More polygons you use, the more frames you risk losing from anyone visiting you, and larger you models tend to be.
You could, for example start with just simple deletion of faces not visible, and get people comfortable to move on forwards to more advanced topic such as merging excessive poly detail.
Yes, I will.
It's for sure not the future to build that way… But if it's could be any kind of incitative to try HF…
it's like McDonald… Fast but fat.
Anything that motivates people to learn is good.The efficiency argument never goes away even when you learn the Maya or blender .if you want to. Make a billion Polly shoe do it and do it good
Learning to sculpt what you see is where we start
Re Topo is really boring and a much later lesson lol
Are you sure it's 2048 ?
i have in my mind that a sculpt is 1024
that would be really bad if it's 2048
1024 Quads from the 32x32 image (each pixel is a quad) , or 2048 triangles. Since game engines render in Triangles, it is doubled.
You can also easily use these tools as well
