A few weeks ago ten of Mongolia's top new alternative rock bands showed off their skills under one roof. It was the annual NisNis Fest, a concert hosted by Mongolia's first grunge band, Nisvanis. This year's show marked the 16th anniversary of the Nirvana-inspired group. It was only fitting that the band that in many ways paved the way for today's vibrant and varied music scene feature some of the groups expanding the scene today.
The ten bands switched between two stages to keep the show moving along. Most of the bands played 3-5 songs, while Nisvanis played two sets – an acoustic set to open the show and an electric set to close it out. Bands represented several genres: rock, grunge, metal, folk rock, and indie rock. One band named Jokers Wild even played Pink Floyd.
It can be hard to find a concert similar to what I'm used to back in the States here in Ulaanbaatar. The market just isn't as big here, and so real rock shows are few and far between. But, NisNis Fest was an energizing display of all that the Ulaanbaatar scene has to offer, and all in one venue. The crowd was mostly young, what you would expect at any rock concert. And although it was mostly Mongolian fans, there were a handful of foreigners who came to check out the scene as well.
Highlights included the emerging group North Ducks' rocking cover of a traditional Mongolian song. The whole crowd sang along to their reinterpretation – but, alas, I didn't know the words. I also really enjoyed seeing Altan Urag (a band I've seen quite a bit at their regular restaurant gig) in a more raucous environment. This folk rock band has managed to make traditional Mongolian music hardcore and appealing to a younger audience. It's rare you'll see people head bang to folk tunes, but Altan Urag has managed to bridge that gap.
Among the new bands I saw was, Solongo, which is one of only a few Mongolian groups with a online casino female lead singer. That's my one complaint about the Mongolian music scene: there aren't enough women.
Another band that played at NisNis Fest was Mohanik – a group I've been following quite a bit lately. The rock band is made up of five men all in their early 20's. They have been friends since grade school, and playing music together of almost a decade. With one album under their belt, they're planning to record a second this summer. It will be a change from the somewhat silly yet truly rock songs their fans are used to (one song is about wanting to ride a 'horsey'). Instead, they're writing songs that both invoke the Mongolian landscape and explore the rock n' roll they love.
All in all it was a fabulous night. I spent much of the show running around filming a few of the bands and the crowd – an activity that seems to be occupying my time more and more these days. As winter's frigid cold gives way to the spring"s dust-filled wind, the number and frequency of concerts should only increase.

A 'lemon' cake – surely not! In HoniesKitchen – oh yes 😮
During the preparations of the NCT Cheeky Monkeys Tea Party (24th June), I had decided that I would bake a Lemon Loaf Cake – but as there was a need for lots of cakes at the event (one promised for every ticket holder), then I thought I'd better make it a rather big cake – so a 2lb baby of a cake was decided upon!
As usual in HoniesKitchen, this is a simple recipe (honestly) and the kids can most definitely get involved: egg breaking, measuring, sifting, mixing is not just for the
more sensible, bigger people.
I assured you it was easy to make and here's how:
21b Lemon Loaf Cake (for a 1lb cake just half the measurements and the cooking time)
- 250g (8oz) butter (room temperature) or soft margarine
- 250g (8oz) caster sugar
- 4 eggs
- 4 teaspoons milk
- 250g (8oz) self-raising flour
- 100g (4oz) plain flour
- The grated rind and juice of 2 lemons.
Method :
- Cream the butter/margarine and sugar together until light and fluffy, using a wooden spoon or an electric mixer. beat the eggs and milk in a separate bowl.
- Mix the floors together and gradually fold into the butter/sugar mixture – alternate with adding the egg/milk mixture.
- Add the grated rind and lemon juice.
- Mix till smooth.
- Spoon the mixture into a lightly greased and lined (use baking paper, snipped at the corners to fit or a purpose-made liner).
- Level the mixture with a palette knife.
- Bake in a preheated oven (160 degrees C / 325 degrees F / Gas mark 3) for an hour and a half.
- Use a skewer to test – if it comes out clean, it's ready!

Sen. David Osmek, net neutrality enemy, abandons race for governor
Minnesota Sen. David Osmek (R-Mound) shouldered his way into a crowded race for Minnesota governor in August, promising to go to work for the regular people.
While every governor hopeful promises that, Osmek quickly distinguished himself from every other major candidate by refusing to release his tax returns. The Minnesota tradition tells voters how much their elected officials pay in taxes and what they give to charity, but Osmek told the Pioneer Press that he doesn't believe the public needs to know how much he earns for a living or how generous he is in order to elect him.
Osmek is also known for his staunch and sometimes-obscene opposition to light-rail, which he refers to as a "liberal wet dream."
More recently, he's been sparring with readers over the Trump FCC's revocation of net neutrality rules, writing that there's no evidence (so far) that internet service providers would create online toll roads to access.
Osmek's defense of the FCC's decision mirrors his own actions in the state legislature last year to kill a bipartisan privacy bill to prohibit internet providers from selling customers' data. That measure failed after passing the House unanimously and the Senate 66-1 (Osmek), because it was left out of the final Jobs and Energy bill. Democrats Sen. Ron Latz (St. Louis Park) and Rep. Paul Thissen (Minneapolis) have pledged to revive the bill in the upcoming session, and to push state agencies to favor internet providers who agree to net neutrality principles.
Four months after announcing his candidacy, Osmek's calling it quits. The Associated Press reported Monday morning that Osmek is suspending his campaign after a Republican State Central Committee straw poll ranked him fifth out of seven candidates.
Major candidates who remain include Republicans Keith Downey (former Republican Party of Minnesota chairman), Matt Dean (state representative), Jeff Johnson (Hennepin County commissioner), and Mary Guiliani Stephens (Woodbury mayor), as well as Democrats Tim Walz (congressman), Rebecca Otto (state auditor), Erin Murphy (state representative), Chris Coleman (former St. Paul mayor), Tina Liebling (state representative), and Paul Thissen (state representative).

Are you really willing to ride for me?
A little delay between posts, but the holiday weekend is coming to an end, and here we are again.
I want to speak about a topic which seems to get overlooked a lot in today's society. It's not one of my tenets in my book, it seems to be the last thing we consider in employment, relationships, even in our friends. That thing is loyalty. We as a society have lost our focus on being loyal to one another. In many cases, we aren't even loyal to the people who helped us get where we are. I have seen people show a lack of loyalty for those that hired them to a job. I have encountered people show a lack of loyalty for their significant other in a relationship who was down with them through both thick and then. My associates in Corporate America talk about learning to become a free agent, as the years of loyalty to one company have long passed, and vice versa–the years of a company being loyal to its employees are gone as well.
There is truth to some of this, especially with the changing global economy and trying to climb the corporate ladder. There is also a false sense of independence we have created in believing we don't really need to be loyal to one another. I heard a pastor say, "when you are wearing the uniform of a company, and taking their checks, you need to ride for their brand–you need to be loyal to that company." I agree with this summation. If you are a part of something, you should be committed to that something, you should feel obligated to "ride" for that something. In my observation of our experiences, we are ready to "ride" for our marriages any longer. We definitely aren't ready to ride for one-another in a relationship in co-habitation. The most disappointing point is, quite often one party IS loyal, but the other party has no concept of what being loyal means. Calling to let someone know you are o.k. is part of loyalty. Calling when you are out of town and talking to your spouse is a part of loyalty. Loyalty by definition is to be faithful and committed. When we are committed to one another, we call each other to let the other party know we love them and we are doing o.k. Loyalty is being able to tell your wife you are tempted by a woman around you, and you need to do something about it–change jobs, whatever, because you love your wife, and you don't want to betray her.
The commitment of a relationship is serious stuff. We should not take it lightly. I write about "Love, Honor, and Respect," in the book. If you can't be loyal to your mate, you can't do ANY of these things. The disappointment of life that loyalty seems to be missing in MOST of our relationships can actually work to a person's benefit. If you show you are loyal, you can be seen as being better than people/experiences that your mate has to compare you to. We should all be loyal to our spouse. The fact is, we aren't. Since we aren't all up to the task, show your loyalty, and your mate (if they are loyal as well, and value that commitment) will love you even more deeply because they know you will 'ride' for them no matter what.

Holidaying in Europe has become more and more common over the years, with more and more niche spots being discovered or created that can appeal to a certain type of person – but for years, caravan users extremely limited in where they could go. Thankfully, that's all changed.
We've teamed up with Compare and Choose to create a list of the ten best places to visit by campervan in Europe, starting with number 10:
#10) Route 1, Iceland
It's technically not a single place, but the famous Route 1 (aka the "Ring Road") takes you on a 1,332km circuit all around the country's major towns and entertainment hubs. What makes it special is that it there's plenty of places to get off and experience some local entertainment, but it's not forced – you can circle the island in two weeks, or in less than twenty hours.
#9) Landgoed de Barendonk estate, Beers, Netherlands
A camping site attached directly to the village of Beers, Barendonk is a great mixture of man-made features and natural aesthetics. It allows dogs, offers WiFi, and even some rentable cabins for those who want a change of scenery – plus a constant supply of fresh bread!

Schematics Fashion Show
On June 13th, 2010 The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale presented their 10th annual student and alumni fashion show. "Schematics" was the theme and name of the show. The event took place at The Renaissance Port Everglades Hotel. Members in charge of directing the show were merchandisers and designers under the direction of Ms. Pierre. Joe Del Sordo led his digital media and video production crew, under the direction of Amy Phillips to organize and execute the success of Schematics.
After a long eventful college journey at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, the eleven Bachelor designers presented their final collection to the local fashion industry. Each line was inspired by different moods, colors, silhouettes, fabrics, and themes ultimately based on the designer's concepts and vision.
This event was the product of constant work during ten consecutive weeks by the Fashion Show Production class. The victory of their achievements were reflected in the impeccable organization and flow of the show from the runway, lighting, models, garments, make up, guests, and other details that only such a wonderful team could have exhibited.

We have GREAT news! Nick's family met with Channel 3 News out of Kalamazoo Michigan and they want to do a news story about Nick, his battle to find a diagnosis and now his fight for adequate treatment. We are excited to say the least. Hopefully the news story will raise more interest for Nick and others like him struggling with the "system" that makes these veterans jump through hoops to gain any assistance for adequate care. We are praying, crossing our fingers, and toes in the hopes that Nick will be able to stay at the Eisenhower Center in Ann Arbor for continued treatment. God is good!

Since I was a kid, I've been fascinated by electronics and with figuring out how systems go together. There's nothing better than creating something really cool that works as intended, and which doesn't clutter upA�the place with a bunch of ugly wires and other stuff.
I worked at all of the major electronics chains, got certified by all of the popular manufacturers, and helped build many a system for friends and family before I founded Silicon Valley Installation Company in 1998 – with the idea of making magic happen for otherspro paper writer too. After getting certified with the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA), I started teaching classes there to share my knowledge, and wound up meeting a lot of greatA�local professionals.
It takes a lot of skills toA�design, buildA�and install a complex electronics system with efficiency and an eye for aesthetics, so in addition to learning it all myself, I have built a large, reliable team of experts to join me, especially on installation day, to make sure every project runs smoothly. They also help me come up with clever solutions to tricky design issues, and handle most warranty calls when a system needs tweaking or repair.
I look forward to working with you in the future. Please contact me on the details above (right) to shoot me your questions or to request a free estimate.

Lincoln, Neb. — The Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln announced, the reappointment of Chuck Hibberd to the role of dean and director of Nebraska Extension for a five-year term.
The action comes following a planned five-year review of the leader.
Hibberd has served as dean of Nebraska Extension since October 2012. Under his leadership, Extension has adopted a new strategic team structure to address issues facing Nebraskans. The 18 issues, identified by clientele, range from economic viability for agricultural producers, to engaging underserved youth. The issue team model has allowed Extension to be a more demand-driven and interdisciplinary resource for the state.
Nebraska Extension also administers the Nebraska 4-H Youth Development program. In Nebraska, 4-H reaches 1 in 3 age-eligible youth and families in all 93 counties, with the support of over 12,000 volunteers.
"The needs of the state are very unique and rapidly changing. I'm proud of the way that Dean Hibberd has guided Nebraska Extension in its efforts to address these needs in more ways than ever before," said IANR Harlan Vice Chancellor Mike Boehm. "With Chuck's foresight and leadership, I am confident in Extension's ability to serve Nebraskans moving forward."

By: Turtle Island Foods Inc.
Suggested Retail Price: $2.29 for an 8-ounce package
If you're not 100 percent sure what tempeh is, join the club; unlike tofu, tempeh's still fairly "out there" for your typical omnivore. It doesn't help that it takes a rather involved process (culturing and a controlled fermentation) to bind its soybeans into a dense cake that is often discolored by—perfectly harmless, mind you—spots of mold.
Cooking with tempeh is a little fussy but ultimately not too hard to pull off. A marinade helps loosen the stuff up and adds a bit of salty zest.
When used as a pork substitute in a flavorful meal like a Vietnamese banh mi sandwich, Turtle Island's tempeh performed well, fighting back against the powerful seasonings native to the mayo-and-vinegar-slaw dish.
The three varieties I sampled—Spicy Veggie, Organic Soy, and Organic Five Grain—were all acceptable in terms of taste. Spicy Veggie had more bite, although the soy sauce rang out a bit too strongly; it might work quite well in a dish like tacos where the protein needs to stand up against a heavy starch or three. Five Grain was almost reminiscent of the mellow Gardenburger, and it absorbed and played well with the bright, spicy flavors of the banh mi. Soy was the mildest of the three, nutty and retiring almost to a fault. All had a texture that was some combination of crunchy, crumbly, and mealy, which wasn't ideal but could be addressed by thin slicing as per the packaging's instructions.
Nutrition-wise, tempeh is low in fat and calories and wicked high in fiber, making it a nice arrow to have in one's healthy-eating quiver. It's going too far to suggest that this stuff is gourmet eating—at least when prepared by this modestly talented home cook—but it ain't bad. Just pretend the mold is … flavor crystals.
Betty Crocker Yukon Gold and Sweet Potato Mashed Potatoes
By: Betty Crocker
Suggested Retail Price: $1.89 for two 3-serving pouches
Of the two newest items in the Betty Crocker line of flavored mashed potatoes, the Yukon Gold variety somewhat surprisingly delivers a rich, buttery taste and creamy texture, although the two tablespoons of butter that the home cook is instructed to add to the mix must certainly share some of the credit. A flurry of ultralight potato flakes blends almost instantly with water, butter, and milk to produce a modest batch of mashers that boasts a smooth texture, a not-too-heavy density, and a balanced amount of salt. This is chased by an indefinable but vaguely chemical flavor. All in all, however, almost no effort is required to yield mashed potatoes that are reasonable in quality.
The sweet potato variety is a comparative disaster, which makes little sense: The package contains what appears to be some of the same Yukon Gold flakes, with some hazardous material—that is, orange powder—sprinkled amongst the flakes. The texture and density are fine, but the flavor is sickly sweet and, for lack of a better or more nuanced expression, fake-tasting.
You've got to applaud the food science wizards who produced this new, more sophisticated incarnation of Potato Buds, but not the guys who massacred the sweet potato variety. Too much of a bad flavor is most assuredly a bad thing.

Rotary DF Antenna Systems
Rotary DF antenna systems have been designed and developed
for locating the enemy radar accurately. The antenna system is composed of a
cylindrical parabolic reflector with prime focussed broad-band co-planar log
periodic feed and generates a narrow beam in azimuth and broad beam in elevation.
The antenna is mechanically scanned in azimuth to obtain 360° azimuth coverage
with elevation coverage obtained by the wide elevation beam, which maintains
a constant amount of signal on the target at a given altitude. To receive the
signals of any polarisation, the antenna is made slant linear Polarised at 45°.
For low frequency bands (PÄL band), where size and weight is premium, a novel
compact monopulse antenna system has been developed with
improved angular accuracy. This RDF antenna works on the principle of generation
of sum and difference pattern. The antenna system consists of two-amplitude
and phase-matched co-planar printed log periodic dipole array antenna enclosed
in very low-loss thin wall radome. The sum and difference modes are formed in
azimuth at microwave frequencies by using hybrid junctions and phase-matched
interconnections. The size reduction of 10:1 and corresponding reduction in
weight has been achieved.
A light-weight MM wave rotary DF antenna covering Ku-Ka frequency band has also
been developed. Fabrication Al techniques like CNC machining for reflector and
wire cut EDM techniques for feed were used because of small size and tight dimensional
and surface accuracy requirements at millimeter wave frequencies. The antenna
is currently under production.
These antennas work over very wide frequency band and can be used on vehicles,
ships, and aircraft with suitable radomes. A very low-loss 'A' sandwich radome
has also been designed and developed for using the antenna on land-based platform.
Amplitude Comparison DF Antenna System
Amplitude comparison
DF antenna system uses multiple directional antennas displaced symmetrically
in azimuth plane. A broad-band 8 antenna amplitude comparison DF system has
been developed covering a frequency range of 1 to 18 GHz for ship borne applications.
This system is wide open in frequency and bearing with 100 per cent probability
of intercept. Since the system works on amplitude comparison techniques all
pyramidal log periodic raDIATing elements are developed with amplitude matching
within +1.5 dB over 1:18 frequency bandwidth. These antenna elements are slant
polarised at 45° with very low cross-polarisation characteristics. The antenna
elements are covered with specially designed individual low-loss radomes to
protect them from hostile environment and also reduce the mutual coupling between
antennas. The amplitude comparison DF antenna system has been productionised
and inducted into the Services.
Antenna DBD Circular Array
Circular array of a wide open DF receiver called digital bearing discriminator (DBD) is small in size and has low RCS. The DF system
works on phase comparison technique with a field of view of 360° and 100 per
cent probability to intercept/detect and locate enemy targets in a high dense
signal environment. It is wide open both in frequency and bearing. It gives
angle information on a single pulse basis with bearing accuracy better than
2.5° RMS. The circular array consists of raDIATing elements equally spaced around
a circle to provide a field of view of 360° with each raDIATing element
connected to an input port of the feed network. Power applied to each output
port of the feed network provides separate excitation of spatial phase modes.
The nth phase mode consists of an excitation which is constant in amplitude
with phase varying linearly with angle so that there are n complete cycles of
phase change around 360° of angle. The higher order modes are used for accuracy
and lower order modes are used for resolving the ambiguity. Phase comparison
between these output ports directly gives the angle of arrival.
The circular array consists of specially designed 16 raDIATing elements of reduced
size printed circuit tapered slot line antennas working over 1:4 frequency bandwidth
(P and L band) incorporating innovative techniques. This system working over
P and L bands is not available off-the-shelf from world market for import. DRDO's
technology is simple and cost-effective.
Base Lie lnterferometric Array
Phase comparison base line interferometric (BLI) arrays are used where high DF accuracy is required. The angle of arrival is
measured in the interferometer by measuring the phase difference of signals
received by two antennas separated in space. The measured phase difference is
directly related to the angle of arrival. The interferometer is the optimum
solution for best DF accuracy over a maximum field of view. The maximum distance
between two antennas without causing ambiguity is half the wavelength. If accuracy
without ambiguity over large band-width is required a multiple antenna array
with non-uniform spacings is used. DRDO has developed 4-element interferometric
arrays covering 2-8 and 8-18 GHz bands for ship borne and vehicle based platforms.
This technique can also be adopted for airborne applications. Four such arrays
are used to cover 360ĝ in azimuth. Good DF accuracy has been realised. Low-loss
radomes have also been developed for protecting the arrays from severe environmental
TDOA DF Antenna System
Time difference of arrival (TDOA) is a high accuracy large base line DF system.
TDOA technique uses time measurement as a parameter for evaluating the angular
location of the target. This technique is also wide open both in frequency and
bearing with 100 per cent probability of intercept. It works with compact antenna
system even at low frequencies without antenna rotation and the time measurement
is not sensitive to antenna perturbations.
A four antenna TDOA DF system has been developed covering a wide frequency bandwidth
for airborne platform using gain and phase-tracked biconical antennas. These
antennas are compact in size, light in weight, rugged in construction and work
with slant linear 45° polarisation covering 360° in azimuth. These antennas
are covered with low-loss radomes to protect them from environmental effects.
With the present day advances in speed and accuracy of time measurement TDOA
technique is used for short base line platform, like aircraft, helicopters,
ships, etc. with good DF accuracy.

5 Ways a VA Can Help Your Business
Do you need help in your small business?
Are you drowning in administrative tasks, struggling to keep up with your marketing efforts and finding little to no time to reach out to new customers? Partnering with a virtual assistant from ASG can add hours to your week and save you money. Here are the top five ways a VA can help your business grow.
#1 Your virtual assistant can track leads and set up campaigns. Whether you use sophisticated applications or an excel spreadsheet, your VA can track your leads, their source, their status and keep a count for you. This helps you see which of your marketing efforts are producing the warm and hot leads that drive your business. Your VA can also create and maintain your long term drip campaigns to keep your name in front of those leads.
#2 Your virtual assistant can monitor your inbox and send quick responses to incoming inquiries and leads. Studies show less than 40% of companies respond to leads within one hour. Imagine the business you could build if you're in that 40% and your leads get an immediate response to their inquiry.
#3 Your virtual assistant can take care of website maintenance including security updates, content additions/edits and comment moderation. Some VAs even provide blogging and content writing services.
#4 Your virtual assistant can manage your social media marketing strategy and help grow your list. Be careful! Using a VA to manage every aspect of your social media marketing can actually detract from your online reputation if you, the business owner, aren't engaging with your own customers on social media. Social media isn't set it and forget it. It's set it and forget it PLUS personal engagement.
#5 Your virtual assistant can create and distribute your digital or print newsletter. Programs like Constant Contact and MailChimp make it easy for companies to distribute digital newsletters and this is a task easily delegated to a VA.
Are you ready to take the leap and hire a VA? Check out our free guide, "5 Questions To Ask Yourself When Hiring A VA" and then give us a call. We're ready to help you grow your business.

Transform New Houses For Better Resale Value
If your house has been built in the last five to ten years, there are a lot of great things going for it. It probably doesn't have that much wear and tear on it yet, the style and layout are all contemporary, the kitchen will still feel fresh. There are tons of qualities you get from a new home. But there's one area where older properties seem to have the advantage: the outdoors. New subdivisions have a major shade problem. When subdivisions are built, they're mostly cleared out so houses can be put up in as little time as possible. Trees and other natural features take decades to mature, but they make a neighbourhood feel lived in and friendly.
Homeowners selling in newer subdivisions in the GTA have an uphill battle if they want to get the highest price for their lot. There are signs the real estate market in Toronto is taking a downturn and there's just no competing with older, transit-friendly, well-shaded neighbourhoods in older parts of the metro area. To get top dollar on their investment, homeowners may need to spruce up their exteriors.
First, start with the curb appeal. It's the first impression buyers get and it's important to stand out on a street that feels monotonous. The easiest way to add curb appeal is through a thing called softscaping, where you add texture and colour to the front of your home. Plant trees now if you don't have them already. They take decades to grow, but in conjunction with shrubs and boulder accents, they go a long way toward improving your curb appeal. You can expect to spend about $7,000 on curb appeal through softscaping. It's quicker and cheaper than building a patio or a walkway. This is the first thing that people are going to look at on the listing and when they come to see the property.
Then there's the back exterior. It may not instantly grab buyers' attention, but it can pay off even more than curb appeal. A livable backyard adds another dimension to a home. In fact, over half of all homeowners said outdoor living space made a property more attractive.
The biggest challenge facing backyards in new subdivisions is shade. Especially if your backyard faces west, you can wind up with some scorching afternoons. Fortunately, you don't need to wait decades for trees to grow in and provide shade. If you're selling, the patio furniture will be up to the new homeowners, but a permanent or semi-permanent pergola with a thick, shade-giving canopy instantly improves impressions of the backyard.
Building a patio or laying down stone near the backdoor where you might barbecue or eat outside will also improve the value of your home. Add a pergola to provide shade so you can enjoy the outdoors at any time of day and even on those hot, muggy days that sometimes sweep over the GTA. Any addition you can make to your exterior that makes the backyard feel like an extra room for the summer months will improve the price you can get when you sell. Exterior investments are high on the list of necessary renovations when you have an eye on resale value.

Today I have another project for my daughters nursery. I found these wooden cut-outs at Michael's and got inspired. I loved the intricate details and knew I had to make something with them.
I pulled out my paint again, using the same paint color I used on the Jewerly box, you can see that here.
I got to painting… Some are light grey and some are dark grey. I also painted my Letter "K" (for Kenzie) in coral.
After everything dried I used my hot glue gun to attach the pieces together.
I then applied them to the wall with 3M adhesive tape.
That's it! This was definitely a quick & easy project. I'm not 100% sold on how I arranged it above her crib, so I'm sure I'll re-work it soon.

Blessed Romero's martyrdom continued after his murder, pope says
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The martyrdom of Blessed Oscar Romero did not end with his death because he continued to be slandered even by his fellow priests and bishops, Pope Francis said.
By Junno Arocho Esteves Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The martyrdom of Blessed Oscar Romero did not end with his death because he continued to be slandered even by his fellow priests and bishops, Pope Francis said.
Speaking off-the-cuff to a group of pilgrims from El Salvador Oct. 30, the pope said that he, too, witnessed the Salvadoran archbishop's reputation tarnished by "misunderstandings and slander."
"I was a young priest and a witness to this -- he was defamed, slandered, his memory tarnished, and his martyrdom continued, including by his brothers in the priesthood and in the episcopate," the pope said. "This is not hearsay; I heard those things."
Despite the fact that Blessed Romero is "a man who continues to be martyred," the pope said his example is still an inspiration.
"This gives me strength," he said. "Only God knows the histories of those people who have given their lives, who have died, and continue to be stoned with the hardest stone that exists in the world: the tongue," he said.
The Salvadoran faithful were in Rome for a pilgrimage in thanksgiving for Blessed Romero's beatification May 23 in San Salvador. Blessed Romero was assassinated in 1980 while celebrating Mass in the chapel of a local hospital, one day after calling on the government to end their violation of human rights against the population.
The pope told the pilgrims that a martyr is not a "beautiful image that adorns our church and whom we remember with a sense of nostalgia," but someone who "continues to accompany us" and shows what it means to be an earthly pilgrim "with our sufferings, our anguish."
The people of El Salvador, he said, "have a series of difficult tasks ahead" and are in need of those who give witness to an authentic Christian life that promotes and develops "a true justice, an authentic peace and heartfelt reconciliation."
Recalling the life of martyred priest and friend of Blessed Romero, Jesuit Father Rutilio Grande, as well as those who died for the faith during the country's civil war, the pope said that El Salvador had gained "intercessors for your people before the living God." The Vatican announced Feb. 4 that the canonization process of Father Grande was formally opened.

The Clinical Research Division's Dr. Marco Mielcarek has received $2.2 million from the National Institutes of Health's National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute to continue research on whether statin treatment is effective at reducing the risk of graft-vs.-host disease in patients receiving an allogeneic stem cell transplant. While statins are a class of drugs for treating high cholesterol, they also have immune-modulating effects.
The five-year grant will build upon previous work that Mielcarek and colleagues published last year in Blood, which found that patients who received stem cells harvested from donors who had taken statins received profound protection against severe acute GVHD.
The new grant has three major aims:
- Optimize a statin regimen that has been shown to protect against GVHD in a preclinical model by answering these questions:
- Can the duration of donor statin treatment be shortened to less than three weeks without compromising efficacy?
- Is it sufficient to treat only the donor with a statin before transplant (and not the recipient after transplant) for the GVHD-protective effect to work?
- To translate this regimen into a prospective clinical trial.
- Using T-cells from statin-treated human stem cell donors, perform laboratory studies to help define the protective mechanisms of statins in treating GVHD.
"These findings, if confirmed, will have a significant impact on improving the safety of clinical stem cell transplants," said Mielcarek, who is also an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine.

Pandora stock crashed more than 30% after the company posted a loss of $85.9 million in the third quarter.
The stock hemorrhaged over 20% in the hours after the market closed, and continued to fall through the night. On Friday morning, the stock was down more than 30% pre-market.
Pandora's loss in the third quarter was in line with analyst estimates, according to a survey of analysts conducted by the AP.
Revenue in the third quarter was $311.6 million, a 30% year-over-year increase, but slightly below analyst estimates of $312.4 million, the AP reports.
Advertising revenue for Pandora in the third quarter was $254.7 million, a 31% year-over-year increase, and subscription (and other) revenue was $56.9 million, a 26% year-over-year increase. However, Pandora's customer acquisition costs more than doubled, according to Fortune.
In the fourth quarter, Pandora forecasts revenue of $325 million to $330 million, less than $351.5 million, which was the average estimate of 28 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
On Thursday, Pandora also confirmed that it had reached a $90 million settlement with music labels over the streaming of audio and songs from before 1972.
Pandora still must face a pivotal Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) ruling in December, which will decide what royalties it will have to pay record labels.

~Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus ~ I Thessalonians 5:16-18
"In Thanksgiving, Let Us Praise Him"
From the first bright light of morning to the last warm glow of dusk;
Every breath we take is sacred, For it is God's gift to us.
In the season of our plenty, in the season of our need;
We will find His grace sufficient, we will find His love complete.
Safe within His hand that guides us, Hidden in His healing wings;
Day by day His love provides us every good and perfect thing.
In thanksgiving, let us praise Him; In thanksgiving, let us sing
Songs of praise and adoration to our gracious Lord and King.
~Austrian hymn~

If you are using .NET, this technique is still applicable. Here is the code we will be discussing (which is commented enough that you might not need to read anything else):
Code Walk Through
First, we insert a section break which starts a new page. We need to save the current range. If there is no selection, the current location is treated as a selection. If there is text selected, it will get replaced a bit later. We assign the current selection range to a variable to reference after we have changed the current selection. Changing the current selection will not change the range referred to by r. (It will continue to point to the same place in the document as when the assignment was made.) We now add a new section break—this should normally be done before we modify the current range. Otherwise, the modifications or additions will simply get pushed onto the next page since the selection is still at the beginning of the additions. If you were able to add stuff and move the current selection to the end of the new stuff, then you could add the section break without pushing the new stuff forward.
After the second section break is added, we modify the range we saved a reference to, in this case, by adding some text.
If you had a document with nothing but the digits 12 in it and placed the cursor after the 1 but before the 2, after executing this code, page one would have 1 on it, page 2 would have Hello, Word! on it and page 3 would have 2 on it.

Have you ever sampled the "real" Maryland Style Crab Soup? You may think you have until you taste Steve's recipe. This is a thick rich tomato based soup. This Maryland Crab Soup gets us through the winter and spring until the fresh crabs start to run.There is no doubt that Crabs are the king of the Chesapeake Bay. If you visit Maryland, you must try the crabs. There are many other regional specialties but Crab is the most famous and the most popular. Then there is Old bay Seasoning and that goes along with the crabs. There are many recipes that feature Crab but this time of year we celebrate springtime with a big pot of this soup.Maryland Crab Soup is a tomato-based soup with mixed vegetables, lima beans, potatoes, Old Bay Seasoning, and, of course, Crab Meat. Traditionally this soup is made with half beef broth and half chicken. Out Daughter in law has a beef allergy so we omit the beef broth – just in case she is here when we pull a quart from the freezer.Steve has lived his entire life in the Annapolis area and considers himself a connoisseur of all things crab. There are very few restaurants he will even consider ordering crab soup from. He makes it himself, preferably outside. There are a few tricks to this soup. It is made in a big pot, so there is a lot of it. I used a 9 qt. pot and it was full. This soup is a marvel; it's thick rich and filling. When this soup is made, we have a party in the back yard. If there is any left over it goes into quart jars and we distribute it as a special treat to our friends. Once you taste it you'll see why it causes so much excitement – It's special.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and add the cabbage, potatoes, Lima beans, frozen mixed vegetables and crushed tomatoes. Bring the pot to a low boil for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Meanwhile, place the crabmeat in a bowl and gently pick over it for any shells. Add the crabmeat and simmer for five minutes until the crabmeat is heated. Season the soup with salt, then add adjust the seasonings as needed with additional hot sauce, old bay and/or Worcestershire sauce to taste.
- Thin the soup with additional stock or water as needed.

** If the canned tomatoes are acidic add up to 2 tablespoons of sugar.
***Feel free to use 4 quarts of chicken stock for the chicken and beef stock. I do this because of a beef allergy in the family.

There are plenty of choices available today for groups to communicate online. Everything from simple discussion boards and forums to complex real-time collaboration tools. Regardless of the platform it is imperative that people understand how to work in an online group if effective communication is going to take place. Here are some keys to make sure that your groups communicate effectively with online tools.
Acknowledge That You Understand Others
How many times have you been speaking with your spouse, co-worker or colleague and felt like he/she didn't understand where you were coming from? When you're face-to-face, you can at least use body language to signify that you understand what the other person is saying. But when you're online that's a bit tricky (unless you're using a video conferencing tool). When you're having a group discussion online and particularly during a disagreement of some sort it's imperative that you state what you understand the person to be saying before you make your counter-point. This, above anything else, will help ensure that the conversation will remain positive in the group.
Get to the Point Fast
One of the key things I've learned from reading email myself is to state the most important information first. Supporting content (or fluff sometimes) is good, but it needs to come after your main point. Especially with online group communication, you should deliver your key message in the first few sentences then back it up. If it's important enough then people will read the rest of your message, but don't beat around the bush. Our natural tendency is start telling a story to help frame the argument. In group discussions there's not usually time or space for story telling. People already have a inbox that's growing by the minute and an information stream that's passing them by.
Give Examples When Explaining Yourself
Another one that's important with in-person communication, but even more so with online communication is to provide examples when you explain something. Let's say that your group is debating whether a Mac is better than a PC. You state that Mac's are indeed expensive but they save you money over time. Don't stop there! Give an example of how. "Well macs come with native software for email, contacts and calendar so you won't have to shell out for Microsoft Outlook". See there's an example of me giving an example. Without telling part of a story or giving an analogy, your comments don't have any legs and they're just opinions.
Say it a Different Way
When you do post that long message/reply/comment make sure that you summarize it. Throw in a "In conclusion…" at the end or even a few bullet points. Particularly if someone has read a long message online then they need a re-cap. This will give you an opportunity to re-state your points and increase the chances of the group understanding what you mean.
Know When to Take it Offline
Sometimes the best solution for online group communication is to take it offline. Perhaps it's best to just schedule a…meeting. I know, meetings are toxic according to some, but there will always be times where communication breakdown is bound to happen unless you get the group together in the same room. On the same account, sometimes you need to pay a visit to a person in the group. Don't always hide behind email. If there's any doubt in your mind that you need to speak with the group in person then do it.
There's More…
I'm sure you've been a part of an online group. What were some of the keys that you experienced with those groups that communciated well? What about the ones where communication didn't take place?

President Obama has improved upon his statement of the American objective regarding ISIS. He now says that he intends to "degrade and destroy" this barbaric outfit, not merely to convert it into a "manageable problem."
However, Obama has not retracted, or even "walked back," his statement about how to deal with ISIS. He has consistently taken the position that "what we've got to do is make sure that we are organizing the Arab world, the Middle East, the Muslim world, along with the international community to isolate this cancer."
Unfortunately, if our ability to isolate, degrade, or destroy ISIS depends on "organizing the Arab world, the Middle East [and] the Muslim world," we might as well throw in the towel. The futility of a coalition of Muslim states is obvious. It's impossible, for example, to imagine a coalition that includes Iran and Saudi Arabia.
But the problem goes deeper than that. The Washington Post reports that although Kurdish pesh merga fighters joined with Shiite militias to expel ISIS from the town of Amerli, the Shiites would not let the Kurds into the town after it was captured. One of the pesh merga told the Post, "We fought for three months here, and now we have to fight these bastards. If this continues, we'll have another war."
Moreover, there are serious divisions even among Iraq's Kurds:
The pesh merga forces — which are divided into two groups that report to the two major Kurdish parties — even suspect each other. Around Amerli, the pesh merga fighters complain that the best weapons from the U.S. government and Iran are going to Kurdish fighters associated with their rival party.
"We have not seen a single American bullet," said Maj. Ahmed Mahmoud, the pesh merga commander near Amerli and Suleiman Beg.
Divisions apparently are even worse among Iraq's Sunnis. According to Michael Rubin:
The real problem facing Iraq—and the reason why no amount of military reform or imposed political quotas will succeed—is that the Arab Sunni community is leaderless. . . .[T]here is hardly a tribe in Iraq whose leadership is uncontested.
Former President Saddam Hussein—and, indeed, almost every leader before him–promoted rivals to tribal sheikhs in order to better control the tribes. The result is often a mess.
If Obama wants to degrade and destroy ISIS, or even if he just wants to "manage" it, he should focus on what is doable and what America is good at — namely the use of military power. "Organizing the Middle East" is not doable, and certainly not by the naifs in the Obama administration.

A few years ago, my sister said something that has resonated with me almost every day since I heard it: Every circumstance you are placed in is preparing you for something else. It's a concept I've seen at work in my own life, which makes me so grateful for how sovereign and crafty our God just is. For instance, out of college, I went to work for a government agency as a secretary, not the most glamorous job in the world, but I learned accountability, patience, the value of team work and not feeding the gossip beast, a few years and unpleasant jobs later brought me to a some formative years as an editorial assistant, and what I learned here was invaluable: that what I had to write meant something, that some people (namely research scientists) actually valued what I had to say, and of course with any job there were the non-related work circumstances that taught me quite a bit too. Finally, more recently, personal life circumstances gave me the material to write a book and begin a blog so all of that built on itself: the work ethic, the knowledge, and the humbling circumstances with which to relate to my reader.
I had a chance to look at this practically when reading to the girls yesterday from a kid's biography on Winston Churchill. Winston grew up in a political family, had a few fits and starts with behavior, schooling, and in both of those arenas early on in life, things were looking a little bleak. However, it took a few people to really invest in him, namely his nanny and to see his passion for leadership and serving in the armed forces to really draw this boy out. You see, for a long time, Churchill desperately wanted to be a politician like his father, to influence, to lead, BUT, he had to start somewhere, so he began to write and what he wrote he began to speak and when his writing became so good, he was asked to travel and write, which landed him in a bit of hot water (namely, prison) but he managed to escape and in the course became a hero, from there his bravery increased and throughout his life he got into some circumstances which were really out of his hands but formed his character. Which got me to thinking on the value of starting where you can. Churchill has huge aspirations for himself but he started with what he could do.
Here's my encouragement to you, whether you are 17 or 72, start humbly at the bottom. Do the menial tasks, the hours in the copy room with you and the rumbling machines. Sweep up when no one is looking, be consistent, follow through.
With my life taking a 180 in the past few years, of course I've had the question, "Will things ever get back 'on track'?" But God may have a couple of different ideas on what that track looks like and I have to be content with that. I need to realize that whatever dreams I have, big or small, it means doing to grunt work at the beginning:
1) Continuing to write when it doesn't feel like anything is happening and no one is paying attention
2) Being a good mother to Little A
3) Being consistent and accountable in my jobs
4) Maintaining personal relationships the best way I know how with lots of prayer
Some of these are expansive and require lots of bullet points underneath, others, like faithfully writing are straightforward.
I know we are almost into June already, but now may be just the time to jump start those New Year's goals or come up with a few new ones, it just may transform your meantime.
