The best way to explore New York city …
On my recent trip to New York, I was there only for 4 days so I knew it would be busy especially as I have no idea which places I wanted to see.

La belle vie! Ahead of their upcoming nuptials, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West shopped in Paris, scoping out designer threads on Wednesday, May 21.
The engaged couple was spotted perusing stores in the City of Light, making a stop at the Maison Martin Margiela showroom. Armfuls of Valentino garment bags were also seen being delivered to Kimye's apartment.
Kardashian, 33, went all out for the day of spending, showing off her curves in a custom sand suede bustier top and skirt by Ermanno Scervino. The body-hugging number hit below the knee and featured boning and darts on the bodice. She kept warm with a long black peacoat, and accessorized with a pair of nude heels, massive diamond earrings, and a simple necklace.
Her rapper fiancé, 36, echoed her color palette, wearing a camel peacoat over a black collared shirt. He kept it casual with medium-wash jeans and a pair of Stan Smith Adidas sneakers.
They added cardio to their busy day, as they were also seen leaving a Paris gym on Wednesday.
"Kanye is super calm and is so, so in love with Kim," an insider tells Us. "This is his fairy tale. He adores Kim — it's amazing to watch. He gets giddy around her and just smiles when she walks into a room. He is so excited to marry her."
While details surrounding the ceremony are still fuzzy, the parents to daughter North West, 11 months, are expected to tie the knot somewhere in Europe on Saturday, May 24.

Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) refers to communication methods that help or replace speaking or writing for individuals who struggle to production or comprehend spoken or written language.
Who Benefits from Augmentative and Alternative Communication?
Any child having difficulty communicating or being understood may benefit in some way from AAC strategies. Children with cerebral palsy, autism, developmental disabilities, or rare genetic syndromes can be supported in their communication and learning through AAC.
It is your right as a parent to ask your child's teachers for an evaluation or if and how your child can benefit from AAC. Through your local school district, a team of professionals will work closely with you to help determine if your child is a good candidate for AAC services, and they will provide guidance about using AAC at home, school, and the community.
When to Begin Augmentative and Alternative Communication
It is important to begin AAC as early as possible. Even if your child is already receiving speech and language therapy, he can still benefit from AAC services. Remember the goal of AAC is to help your child begin communicating with you. It is important to know that even though a child may begin to use pictures to tell you what he wants or a computer that can produce speech, it does not stop him from learning to speak. In fact, research has found that when a child begins learning to tell someone what he needs or want, it is easier to work on his speech sounds and to expand his ability to communicate.
How to Get an AAC Evaluation
A good place to start is with your school district. Let them know your child has difficulty communicating. If your child is already receiving speech and language therapy, then talk to your speech/language pathologist. Let him or her know that you are interested in learning more about AAC and that you want your child to have an AAC evaluation. The school district should have an Assistive Technology Team that will complete the evaluation or help you find someone qualified to do so.
Another place to look is at a local college or university program that provides speech and language therapy services. Many times these facilities provide AAC evaluations, or can help you find someone who is qualified to complete the evaluation.
The key is to remember that there are many options available to help your child communicate. The federal government revised the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 1997 and again in 2004 to make sure that all children are provided with the support they need to learn best in the classroom. That means if there is an AAC device or strategy that will allow your child to be a more active learner in the classroom, then the educational team must provide that device or service to your child.
Every child has a right to communicate, and there are many different ways in which children communicate their thoughts and needs. Whether it is through speech, gestures, sign language, pictures, or a voice output communication system, the important thing is that your child can begin communicating and learning.
How to Use AAC Successfully
Family members, caregivers, and school staff should be trained on how best to support your child's use of AAC. Training should be done by a person who is knowledgeable in AAC. Effective training will:
show you how to use AAC with your child
help you choose appropriate vocabulary fo your child
teach you to program and operate your child's communication device
If your child is expected to use AAC to communicate, then it is important that you and other adults model using the AAC system.
Communicating with a child using AAC may be a slow process. It may take time for your child to formulate and express his ideas. It is very important for you wait patiently for your child to think about what he has to say and to communicate his ideas to you.
A child will naturally want to use the quickest way to communicate. For example, a child would rather shake his head yes or no then go to his communication board to say "yes" or "no". Frustration can set in if adults tell children to use their device when gestures or other simple strategies can be used. Encourage your child to use multi-modal communication.
Often times children who use AAC respond to adult questions but do not begin conversations with other children or adults. You can help your child by teaching her to use language effectively such as saying "hello" or "goodbye," requesting attention or objects, or communicating "more", "no" or "finished."

* Saudi Arabia index down 0.2 percent
* Dubai index down 0.2 percent
* Abu Dhabi index up 0.1 percent
* Qatar index up 0.3 percent
DUBAI, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Gulf stock markets were narrowly mixed in quiet, early trade on Thursday after Wall Street shares lost steam and oil prices fell overnight.
Saudi Arabia's index slipped 0.2 percent in the first 30 minutes with losers outnumbering gainers by a ratio of more than two to one.
But food company Savola rose 1.1 percent after proposing raising its cash dividend to 1 riyal per share for 2017 from 0.75 riyal for 2016.
Mediterranean & Gulf Cooperative Insurance and Reinsurance jumped 6.1 percent after its board proposed doubling its capital to 800 million riyals ($213 million) through an equity rights issue.
The stock had shed as much as 34 percent between late January and Tuesday after the central bank prohibited the company from issuing or renewing any insurance policy pending a capital increase, and after the securities regulator said it might suspend or cancel trading in the shares.
Dubai's index slipped 0.2 percent although Emaar Properties added 0.8 percent, moving further from a 14-month intra-day low hit on Tuesday.
Abu Dhabi's index edged up 0.1 percent as energy investment firm Abu Dhabi National Energy Co jumped 7.4 percent. The company reported a swing to an annual net profit of 171 million dirhams ($46.6 million) from a loss of 18.55 billion in 2016 that was due to an impairment charge.
In Qatar, the index rose 0.3 percent as real estate firm United Development gained 3.9 percent after reporting a 14 percent fall in annual net profit, in line with its first-half rate of decline despite a further weakening of the local property market in the second half.

It's Q&A time! {If you MUST write it out, then do "It's Question and Answer time!"}
Take out "have you", it adds nothing but failure.
I didn't know you could do that these days. This girl must be good with her mouth.
it might be difficult for you to go home by yourself.
I realized it
You adjust your pace to Ayumu-kun's, don't you?

Soba place? You mean "soba restaurant"
Do I really need to fix this for them? You can all see the problems here, right?
Futago Mountain
Yea != Yeah
Yea is pronounced "Yay" and it's never used in common speech.
Oh, so if back pipes is the name of the store, then you capitalize it into Back Pipes. That's fine.
I don't know if you can read that, but the sign says "Bagpipe"

How to choose the best fitness class for your goals
You want to loseweight? To meet new people? Reduce stress? Build muscles? Find the right fitness course for your personal goals here.
Slimmer. Stronger. Happier. Healthier. Everyone has their own personal goal, especially around this time of the year. And just as diets aren't a one-size-fits-all affair, neither are workout classes. To achieve your own individual goal, you need to implement the right fitness routine. Whether you want more energy, less stress, or a strong core, there's a class for everyone. Here's how to find the right one for you:
The best fitness class for burning calories and weight loss:
Step off the treadmill and onto the bike - spinning is an incredible way to lose weight. A single spinning class can torch a whopping 500 calories, and you only need to do it twice a week minimum to shed the fat. If you've ever been to a high intensity interval training (HIIT) class, you'll also know that you also continue burning more calories than normal... even after you've stepped off the bike. Winning.
The best fitness class for strengthening muscles:
One of the best ways to sculpt your body is with regular BodyPump classes. At Holmes Place, our classes incorporate sliders that you can place multiple disks onto to increase your training load as you progress. This isn't a case of going for the maximum load, though - weights are kept light to let the reps do the work. You'll go through every muscle group in your body and boost cardio at the same time, getting you in prime shape from head to toe.
The best fitness class for meeting new people and having fun:
Anyone who has done Zumba will know that it's more like joining a party than working out. But you don't have to stay up all night drinking and instead of a hangover, you leave class feeling exhilarated. While this is a solo activity, everyone follows the dance moves in sync - so you'll interact with lots of new people with a high-energy buzz in the air. If you want to try a class where you pair up and boogie, try Kizomba - a fun and popular dance from Angola where you'll work the dancefloor as a twosome.
The best fitness class for improving posture:
Whether you're chained to your desk for long hours or spend a lot of time travelling, sitting can take its toll on our postures. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to get you standing tall and looking leaner - and barre classes is one of them. Taking inspiration from ballet, the class incorporates positions that focus on lengthening your body, keeping it tall and stretched out. Regularly attending this class will build muscle memory for standing up straight - that combined with toning will completely change your stance.
The best fitness class for reducing stress and pain:
Combining the practices of tai-chi, yoga and Pilates, BodyBalance is ideal for anyone suffering with aches and pains, as well as lowering stress levels and boosting the immune system. The yoga-based class will get to work on your mind, body and soul - implementing positivity and calm in all aspects of your life. You'll bend, stretch and breath through a series of steady moves, focus on areas of pain and leave feeling calm and centered.

I found that it appears ISPConfig3 already does its own backup since 3.0.5 When I looked in the backup directroy the only backup folder is ispconfig_2013-09-04_00-14 which is fair out of date. Is there anyway to manually run a backup script? Should this be a cronjob by default? Cheers - Brad

4 Car Maintenance Tips That Can Prevent Big Repair Costs
Sometimes it's worth it to pay small costs to avoid bigger ones, and your car is a prime example.
Tune-ups and maintenance jobs are usually less expensive than paying a mechanic to fix your car. Minor upkeep is also good for getting the most life out of your vehicle's parts. No one wants to buy a battery, doohickey or thing-a-ma-jig because the old one wore out too soon and left you stranded. Or worse, with a major car repair.
A little extra effort can go a long way toward curbing the repair costs for your automobile. Here are four car maintenance tips that can delay or even prevent the need to pay for a big fix to your ride.
1. Check Your Spare Tire
It's just as important to keep the reserve tire inflated as it is the four tires under your car. The last thing you want is to discover that your spare is flat while you're pulling the jack out of the trunk. That's when you'll need to call a tow truck—which can run you hundreds of dollars when you add up towing, mileage and any fees. It's better to spend a dollar at an air pump to inflate your spare. That can spare you the cost of a tow.
2. Change the Oil
How much can your car's oil affect your budget? Bankrate reports that oil problems are potentially the most costly car maintenance issue. Most automobiles need oil changes every 5,000 miles or so depending on the car and the type of oil. It's better to spend as little as $20 to get the oil changed than to put it off and risk wearing out your engine—which costs a lot more than $20 to replace.
3. Keep the Battery Clean
Corrosion (which looks like white or bluish powder) can form on the terminals of your battery. If you don't keep them clean, the battery could develop a crack or not function properly, which could leave you stranded. Since a quality car battery can cost upwards of $100—and a tow can run you even more—it's money well spent to buy a $5 wire brush and keep the terminals looking spiffy.
4. Replace the Brake Pads
Do you hear a squeaking sound when you hit the brakes? If so, your brake pads could be on their last legs. A new set can cost up to $300 for all four wheels, plus the labor charge if a professional installs them. We know that price tag may seem hefty. But being able to stop before rear-ending that Lexus in front of you is priceless.
The more proactive you are about keeping your car in good shape, the less money you'll spend on it. That means you have more to save or pay off debt—and that puts you on track to win with your money!

Resident Evil 0, known in Japan as biohazard 0 (バイオハザード0), is a survival horror game that was developed and published by Capcom for the Nintendo GameCube and released in 2002. It is the fifth game in the Resident Evil series by release order and was the last of the core titles to use the original Multi-View gameplay system prior to the release of Resident Evil 4.
A remastered, high definition version of the game has been released in January 2016, known in Japan as the biohazard 0 HD remaster (バイオハザード0 HDリマスター). It was also included in the Origins Collection.
The game's storyline serves as a prequel to the original Resident Evil, covering Rebecca Chambers' ordeal a day prior to the Arklay Laboratory incident.
Faced with the relentless Zombies and other horrifying creatures, S.T.A.R.S. officer Rebecca Chambers makes an alliance with Billy Coen, an escaped criminal. Unknowingly, Rebecca stumbles into the prelude of an event where she will be tested to her limits and her greatest fears will be realized. Together, Billy and Rebecca must survive the nightmare and expose the dark secrets of what has caused it.
Main charactersEdit
- Rebecca Chambers - An 18 year old rookie medical innovator and officer from the S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team of the RCPD. She is on her first mission, investigating the mysterious murders plaguing the Arklay Mountains. Mission priority is shifted over to the apprehension of Billy Coen when the team learns of his escape. She separates from the team and discovers the Ecliptic Express train stopped nearby on the tracks. As she enters to search for survivors, the train starts to move again after two members of the U.S.S. Delta Team restart the train.
- Billy Coen - A former United States Marine Corps. Division soldier and unit lieutenant wrongfully convicted of murder, he was sentenced to death row and transfer to the Ragathon Base outside Raccoon City; when mysterious events allowed him to escape into the forest and to the nearby Ecliptic Express train.
Supporting charactersEdit
- James Marcus - A brilliant scientist and one of the three founding members of Umbrella. He was one the company's top personnel and the general manager of the executive training school and its laboratory complex, until he mysteriously disappeared ten years ago.
- William Birkin - Although much younger than James Marcus, William is just as brilliant and is a genius in the science & research department. Birkin is highly ambitious and shows great interest in Marcus' work.
- Albert Wesker - The captain of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team, and a security officer and liaison to Umbrella; he is always calm and collected but incredibly ambiguous. He appears to have ulterior motives. In the HD Remaster, he will be portrayed by Richard Waugh in the main game, and D.C. Douglas for the gameplay portions of Wesker Mode.
- Enrico Marini - The captain of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team, he is in command of Rebecca and leads the search for Coen. He cares very deeply for all those under his command, but he has become suspicious of the circumstances that have led them to this situation.
- Edward Dewey - A member of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo team who served as an officer and field specialist for the team. He, like the other Bravo team members, is searching for Billy Coen in the forest. He is the only other member of the Team, including Rebecca, to enter the Ecliptic Express. He was killed by a Cerberus and was seen eating a dead body as a zombie when Rebecca and Billy tried to stop the train.
- Bravo Team S.T.A.R.S members Forest Speyer, Kevin Dooley, Kenneth J. Sullivan and Richard Aiken also make appearances in-game however they have no dialogue and only serve a minor role. The only other reference to them as Bravo Team, is that they all head offscreen to Spencer Mansion a few miles away from the training school.
Downloadable ContentEdit
- Main article: List of DLC#Resident Evil Zero
A novelization of the game titled Resident Evil: Zero Hour was written by author S.D. Perry. It was the seventh book of the Resident Evil series but preceded all the other books in terms of chronological order. A prequel to the very first game (Resident Evil) or book (Resident Evil: The Umbrella Conspiracy), the main characters include the Bravo Team's Rebecca Chambers and an ex-Marine named Billy Coen.
- Notes
- ↑ The Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster, "Costume Pack 1", and "UMBRELLA TRAINING FACILITY T-SHIRT" content were released on the PlayStation Store to those who digitally pre-ordered the game on January 16, 2016 and could be downloaded and installed. However, the content was not available to access until January 18th.

In a traditional café in old Amman we were a band of friends laughing around apple chicha and lemon mint juice. The conversation is about identity and local dialects and each one of the Moroccan, Lebanese, Egyptian, Turkish and Palestinian friends are making jokes about how classical Arabic is becoming sterile in expressing our emotions and our changing identities, until Karim, an Egyptian film maker, took out his green Egyptian passport and tears off a page and start writing on it all the funny jokes we were making. What Karim did was a symbolic action that made me think about my identity and question the notion of reducing all what I am in a miserable travel document.
I set on my bed yesterday gazing at my green passport, remembering what Karim did and searching in every single line and shape for my identity, but was unable to find it. How could my name, my place of birth and my age determine who I am. Am I just a number in the lists of the Moroccan ministry of interior and the Schengen database. Is it said anywhere in my passport that I am a big dreamer, that I spend my nights whispering to the polar star, that I love Sufi songs or that I hate onions? So how could my being be summed up in this miserable travel document, and why do I need all the visas and the stamps of the world to move into a Mediterranean apace to which I belong? For a Moroccan like me it's even more problematic, since I don't feel very Arab, very European, very Muslim, very Jewish, very Berber, very Andalouisian, very African, very Maghrebine, and at the same time I feel belonging to all of these groups. So the only Identity which unites all these pieces of me is to say that I feel Mediterranean.
I deal everyday with noble concepts like dialogue of cultures, mutual understanding, or restoring trust. Therefore, even if I am one of the deepest believers in a north-south dialogue, I feel that the Euromed partnership is a chained pigeon as it doesn't guarantee the freedom of movement for the people from the South of the Mediterranean. The mental barriers can't collapse as long as the geographical barriers are being enhanced with electrical wires, exaggerated visa procedures, and endless checkpoints. The concept of Union for the Mediterranean itself is very problematic. Let me start by asking the simplest question: Why they didn't call it Union of the Mediterranean? The simplest answer would be because the Mediterranean is made up of different contradicted blocks: Europe, The Maghreb, The Mashrek, Turkey, and Israel. The word Union assumes egalitarian relationships for a common cause, hence, a perception of a Union based on dichotomies of North/South, developed/undeveloped, Christian/Muslim, or European/Arab is nothing but the continuation of Edward Said's orientalism in a modern terminology.
The Euromed or the Union for the Mediterranean are geopolitically speaking a form of ''imagined geographies'' to follow the new social and political shifts which acquired after World War II. This methageographical invention is a very positive one for the people of the Mediterranean sea, since it's their common fate to live together as it was their common past to move once and forth in the Mare Nostrum within the same civilizations. The continual exchange in terms of culture, goods, human beings is a process which no political or ideological circumstances succeeded in stopping throughout the centuries, thus, it's a clever move to institutionalize this exchange within a framework which could tolerate even the most controversial component of the region: Israel.
From a purely realistic point of view, it is true that the nation state has the right to protect its interests by closing its borders for security reasons. Nevertheless, a humanistic project like constructing a new common civilization based on the Mediterranean shared heritage requires reconsidering the notion of the nation state itself and trying to construct a community based on common values while favoring diversity within elastic political borders. The enterprise of constructing a Euromed identity should pass through the process of imagining the Euromed community. According to Benedict Anderson 1983 "a nation is a community socially constructed, which is to say imagined by the people who perceive themselves as part of that group", Anderson argues that states are created from different symbols that we attribute to it. Consequently, the members of a community construct a mental image of their affinity even if they are an heterogeneous group in reality. The "imagined community" is gradually constituted by inventing common symbols such as: the flag, the national dish, the national anthem, the official holydays, the national dressing codes… etc Applied to the Mediterranean Anderson's theory can really be an efficient way to construct a common identity by working on the mental images and highlighting different common symbols that we will not even spend a long time to find since they already exist. For example we can invent a flag for the Mediterranean, declare olive oil and tomatoes as an official dish, and foster academic research on our common anthropological and historical heritage. Anderson's theory explains how what he calls "print capitalism" helps in consolidate the common mental images, accordingly, focusing our efforts towards producing printed press and publications will support the quick construction of our Mediterranean identity.
After spending hours meditating about the essence of identity I realized that I feel proud of my Moroccan identity with all its diversity, but I decided to put a blue sticker on my passport which reminds of the color of the Mare Nostrum saying: Mediterranean Citizen, because that's how I feel!

June 6 (Reuters) - Chile's finance minister on Wednesday described as "imprudent" the appointment by lithium miner SQM of its former chairman Julio Ponce as a strategic adviser, in light of an agreement with the state that he distance himself from the firm.
SQM, the world's biggest exporter of lithium carbonate, confirmed on Tuesday that it had retained Ponce's services, along with those of his brother Eugenio.
The move has sparked intense criticism from politicians from both the governing coalition and opposition, as well as the business community.
Finance Minister Felipe Larrain said that the contract drawn up between SQM and the government to end a royalties dispute would have to be checked to determine if the appointment of Ponce as adviser was compliant.
"It's a complex situation and seems to be an imprudent move," he told journalists at a news conference on Wednesday. "We need to check whether it's a violation of the contract or the spirit of the contract from the government's point of view. We will protect the interests of the Chilean state."
Ponce, a former son-in-law of late Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, is a deeply controversial figure in Chile. He has held power at SQM since it was privatized under Pinochet in the 1980s and is still the largest shareholder. In 2014, he was fined for market manipulation.
The firm's current president Alberto Salas said in a statement on Tuesday that the board took the unanimous decision to appoint Ponce and his brother after an "exhaustive analysis" and because of the pair's "extensive business experience and technical know-how."
State development agency Corfo, which oversees Chile's lithium leases, earlier this year inked a deal with SQM that increased the miner's quota of the highly-prized metal in the Salar de Atacama, but stipulated that Ponce remove himself and his family from decision-making at the firm.
Corfo said on Tuesday that hiring Ponce did not violate the terms of the deal. (Reporting by Antonio de la Jara, writing by Aislinn Laing, Editing by Rosalba O'Brien)

I spent my Christmas morning curling up with my new stuffed giraffe named Genevieve, and reading Mr. Boston Official Bartender's Guide, 75th anniversary edition.
A giraffe because I love giraffes, and a guide to bartending because I plan to go to a bartending school when I turn eighteen this spring. Y'know, college tuition.
In my mom's words, since she's the one who kindly gave me this guide, I'm reading this for "professional purposes." That's mostly true, but it's also just fascinating. Relax, I'll only be practicing the non-alcoholic chapter for now. Can't forget about them Shirley Temples, Peach Melbas and Flamingos.
It's amazing, really, how the details makes a world of a difference with serving drinks. This guide really does get down to every last detail imaginable. Every here and there, one sentence stood out as snobbish. I never really appreciated how much of an art form serving drinks is. I'm sure I'll be just as snobby some day, much like how becoming a barista is slowly turning me into a coffee snob. The people who contributed to the guide certainly are particular in the way they like things done.
"Clean, polished glasses show off good drinks to great advantage. The best glasses should be thin-lipped, transparent, and sound off in high registers when 'pinged.'"
"A good number of cocktails are finished with some kind of fruit or savory garnish. (Well not discuss nonedible doodads like paper umbrellas, but really, they might be appropriate for some retro drinks. Stock them according to your aesthetics.)"
What if I waste a bunch of fruit because I can't slice it properly? I imagine myself behind a bar frantically trying to slice fruit and failing. File that under stupid fears I need to get over.
Rimming a glass:
"Rimming separates the pros from the amateurs. The crust must only cling to the outside of the glass. If it is inside the glass, the inner crust will fall into the drink and overseason it."
The precision of it all is honestly quite intimidating. I wouldn't want to accidentally overseason someone's margarita. Goodness.

Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a dreaded neurosurgical disorder. Although the mortality has been declining in the past three decades, the disability after SAH is still significant. The main determinants of outcome are age, clinical grade, amount of SAH and size of aneurysm. Both neurophysical deficits and neuropsychological impairments are determinants of functional outcome after SAH. Patients should be assessed using outcome measures for both traumatic brain injury and stroke. Early rehabilitation after SAH improves not only physical outcome but also cognitive and functional outcome.

Mission and Beliefs
Mission Statement for the International Solid Rock Ministry:
The mission of International Solid Rock Ministry is taking the hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the prisoners and persecuted using music evangelism and Biblical teachings knowing that faith in Jesus Christ transforms lives.
Isaiah 61 (NIV):
1 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, [a] 2 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, 3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. 4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations. 5 Strangers will shepherd your flocks; foreigners will work your fields and vineyards. 6 And you will be called priests of the Lord, you will be named ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast. 7 Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours. 8 "For I, the Lord, love justice; I hate robbery and wrongdoing. In my faithfulness I will reward my people and make an everlasting covenant with them. 9 Their descendants will be known among the nations and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the Lord has blessed." 10 I delight greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. 11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.
What We Believe
WE BELIEVE in the full and complete inspiration by God of the Old and New Testament Scriptures of the Bible and that they are the final authority in faith and Christian living.
WE BELIEVE in one God, eternally existent in three persons (the triune Godhead): Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, including the full personality and deity of Jesus Christ and the full personality and deity of the Holy Spirit.
WE BELIEVE in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ and that He is both true God and true Man.
WE BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, and that with His shed blood He obtained for us an eternal redemption.
WE BELIEVE in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord Jesus Christ, His ascension into Heaven, and in His present life there as High Priest, Advocate, and Intercessor.
WE BELIEVE that man is born with a fallen nature, and is therefore inclined to evil, and that continually. We therefore believe in the necessity of regeneration for every person for the forgiveness of sin.
WE BELIEVE that the Holy Spirit, as a divine Person, indwells all believers.
WE BELIEVE that salvation is a free gift of God, entirely apart from human works, and that it is available to all and possessed by all who have by faith received the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.
WE BELIEVE in the bodily resurrection of the dead, that both the just and the unjust shall be raised to life and united with their spirits—the saved unto the resurrection of life (everlasting blessedness), and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation (everlasting punishment).

The Armidale Diocesan Investment Group has been commissioned by the Bishop to assist him in advancing the pastoral work of the Catholic Church in the Diocese of Armidale.
Distribution to the Diocese and Parishes
Each year, ADIG provides the Diocese and each Parish with a cash distribution to enable funding of the ongoing expenses of various Diocesan and Parish activities.
At a Diocesan level the distribution contributes towards:
- Catechetical work in state school
- Aboriginal Apostolate
- Tribunal Office
- Vocations Director
- Safeguarding Office
- Clergy and seminarian education
- Diocesan administration expenses
- World Youth Day attendance
- Diocesan insurances
At a Parish level:
An annual cash distribution is made to each Parish. Whilst each Parish may use the funds in any manner that best serves the parish, many parishes value the assistance the distribution provides, when faced with growing insurance and building maintenance costs.
Distribution to Priests Retirement Foundation
A financial commitment is made to the Priests Retirement Foundation annually. The Foundation provides support for retired and ill priests of the Diocese of Armidale.
The cash distribution is a practical and effective way in which ADIG supports the charitable, religious, and educational and welfare works of the Diocese and Parishes.
ADIG provides loan finance for the Diocese, parishes, schools and Catholic Agencies within the Diocese. Loans are made for building, renovation and capital equipment. Loans are made at lower than comparable rates for similar loan purposes with no associated fees or charges. This benefits the borrower with reduced interest payments. As a result, every parish in the Armidale Diocese has borrowed from the Group. In addition, Priests have the opportunity to qualify for loans for motor vehicles and computers.

Hi, I received an e-mail from a foreign girl supposedly living very near to me in London. The yahoo.com address made me think it was possibly genuine for a change (I have had a few very obvious scam letters from Russia in the past). The initial letter was exactly the same, word for word, as reported on this website. I replied to her email address to which she sent a couple of photos (and a link to her photos on picturetrail as mentioned above). From here it was obviously a scam but for a change I decided to keep emailing (curiousity getting the better of me). Since then she has sent me a couple of e-mails, roughly every 3/4 days, saying things like - I miss you so much, bla, bla. She gives a sob story about having no friends and having to move from her parents (drunken father) to Yerevan to live with her grandfather. Very funny that one of her photos is her with a friend! If I get another email from her I suspect it will be close to mentioning the need for money, etc. What I would say is that does make some attempt to answer some of your questions, which may give some guys a false perspective. However, she does not ask specific questions about you. [I have 4 photos and 2 saved emails from her which I can send].

Valentina contacted me on Dating Direct saying that she lived in Bournemouth. She directed me to her photos on picturetrail and then her details disappeared from dating direct. I have emailed her directly about 4 or 5 times now and she has replied - roughly every 3/4 days. It appears she has given me the same story as everyone else - that she has had to leave her parents because her father is a drunk and live with her grandfather. Within a short space of time she was saying that she missed me and couldn't wait to receive my emails etc. Obviously the same as she has been saying to others. Thankfully my sister found this site and all about her antics before I was taken for any money!

LinkedIn is a dream tool (for now). Having the ability to view up to date resumes (or profiles), being automatically notified of job changes, being connected through contacts/groups, etc. is a recruiters Nirvana. But like anything that works, you have to work it. However, being a public company can often times cloud decisions making them based on quarterly numbers rather then core. Where are they going and what will they look like in 12 months?

When I ran a search firm the number one conversation around the watercooler was fees; clients trying to reduce them. They'd site competition, the economy, whatever. My response was always the same; NO, unless there was exclusivity, volume or some other circumstance that compensated the reduction. The principle is simple: the belief that the value received from my service is far greater than the fee itself.
It goes something like this: After having a 20 minute conversation with a…Continue

Residential waste collection service charges are billed monthly on your City of Stockton utility bill. Services are activated and stopped through the City of Stockton when you open or close your utility account. Since garbage service is mandatory, it will be billed as long as the utility account is open.
For more information about utility billing, including how to make payments or open/close an account, please visit the Utility Billing web page.
While garbage and recycling services are mandatory within the City limits, there are instances where these services are not necessary for a period of time. The City and its service providers – Republic Services and Waste Management – have established a policy addressing certain circumstances where garbage and recycling services are not necessary. This policy is a courtesy service provided by the garbage companies which can be reviewed periodically by the City, the garbage companies, or both for continued necessity.
A vacancy credit may be granted when a house is vacant or unoccupied for at least one month. Customers may request up to three (3) vacancy credits per calendar year but for no less than one (1) month at a time.
To receive a vacancy credit, the account holder must submit a request for credit to their respective garbage company according to the instructions listed below. If you are unsure which garbage company provides service in your neighborhood, use the City's About Your Address feature to find out.
Any exception to this policy is at the sole discretion of the garbage companies.
Vacant homes in a bank's possession are able to receive a credit to their monthly utility bill for the unused garbage collection services. However, certain steps must be followed for credit of the monthly garbage service charges.
Once the property has been sold, the foreclosing bank (or official designated representative) will notify the water provider to stop all utility services.
Any exception to this policy is at the sole discretion of the garbage companies.

emergency water purification
Potable water is one of our most precious resources and will likely be in short supply during a disaster. While bleach can be used effectively to purify water, it has a relatively short shelf life. Stocking up on pool shock (calcium hypochlorite) is a vastly superior option.
emergency water purification
Pool shock is a dry powder commonly sold in discount stores, hardware stores, and, of course, pool supply stores. As long as it is kept dry, it will last a very long time. Mixed and used properly, one teaspoon of pool shock will purify up to one hundred gallons of water, so even one small package will go quite a long way. It also is fairly inexpensive, especially when compared to how useful it will be during an emergency.
Here is how it works. Please note this is a three stage process.
Step one is to filter your water. This assumes you are using water from a rain barrel, puddles, or other possibly questionable sources. Pour the water through a coffee filter or other improvised filtration device to remove any solids and get the water as clear as is possible. If the water is especially cloudy and time isn't critical, place the water into a container and let it sit for an hour or two. This will allow the solids to sink to the bottom of the container. Gently scoop the water from that container and place it into a clean jug or other vessel.
Step two is to make your purification solution. Do Not Drink The Purification Solution! Add one heaping teaspoon of pool shock to two gallons of water. Mix it thoroughly. This solution is essentially a form of bleach. This purification solution will not last a significantly long time so only make as much as you need at the moment, if possible.
Step three is to add the purification solution to your water. The ratio should be one part solution to one hundred parts water. This breaks down to one pint of solution to every 12.5 gallons of water. After mixing it well, there should be a faint chlorine smell to the water. If need be, this smell can mostly be removed by pouring the water back and forth between two clean containers as the chlorine will evaporate away.
Due to its longevity, ease of use, and inexpensive cost, stockpiled pool shock can be a valuable item for barter or trade purposes.
It is a wise idea to have as much water stored ahead of time as is possible. There are many methods for storing water around the home, as well as finding hidden sources of water already in the home. However, it is wise to also have the means to purify additional water as the stored quantities will eventually run out.

The economic legal landscape is still bleak compared to a few years ago, but more and more attorneys are considering going solo for a variety of reasons. Whether you are in law school or considering jumping ship from a big firm, is having a solo practice better than working for big law?
Do you like having a boss?
If you hate taking orders and like making your own decisions, solo is probably a better fit for you. Some people, however, are terrified at the prospect of handling everything on their own. While there are certainly ways to generate a supportive group of other attorneys, making all the calls is just not in some people's bloods.
From what I have heard, big law usually involves not only a boss, but multiple bosses. I do not know how that works, and I do not want to know. Hang your own shingle and call your own shots. In the alternative, you can always work at a small firm, where you can have a great boss who lets you run your cases and generally lets you do your thing (wink wink).
Do you like having a life?
I have read about some great big law firms that celebrate having a life and want all employees to have lives. Frankly, I think I know one person who works at one of those firms.
Many partners and associates leave big law because they want more of a life. Nearly everyone I know who has left big law says that and they also say making the switch was worth it. Many of them make less money, but they say the trade off is worth it.
Whatever career path you head down, make sure you research and talk with people in both situations. Being a lawyer is a tough job, and finding the right situation for you will make it worth it.

There are two kinds of federal DUIs depending upon where the arrest was made.
If the arrest was made on property under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service, such as the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, Suitland Parkway, Canal Road, or elsewhere, the charges are made under the Code of Federal Regulations. The maximum penalties are 6 months and/or a $5,000 fine. There is no right to refuse the breath or blood test, and people who refuse a breath test are normally taken to a hospital where blood is withdrawn. Refusal is also a crime, carrying the same potential penalty. Trials are usually before a United States Magistrate judge and there is no right to a jury trial. There is no PBJ or probation before judgment available, so if the judge finds the person guilty it results in a conviction. However, no points appear on the MVA driving record. There is also usually no suspension of driving privileges before or after court, at least on a first offense. Convictions may be appealed, but there is no new trial on appeal as there is in state court.
The second kind of federal DUI occurs on property not under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service such as Andrews Air Force Base, Ft. Meade, the National Institutes of Health, and other locations. Here a federal law called the Assimilative Crimes Act applies. Under the Assimilative Crimes Act, if there is no federal criminal law on conduct made criminal under the law of the state in which the federal property is located, the state's criminal laws apply. Since there is no federal DUI law, Maryland DUI laws apply on federal property located in Maryland which is not under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service. Under this scheme, the state crimes and penalties of DUI and DWI apply, but federal procedures are used in federal court. Defendants do have a right to a jury trial. Breath test failures and refusals are referred to the MVA as in state cases, but whether the MVA can legally suspend the drivers license for a violation on these federal properties is debatable. Since the penalties are the same as in state court, a defendant can get a PBJ on a first offense. If there is a conviction (no PBJ), points do appear on the driving record and the MVA will seek a suspension or revocation of the drivers license.
There are a number of law and procedural differences between state and federal court that are important to understand if you are facing DUI charges in federal court. By and large, these differences favor the government in federal court.
For example, there is no PBJ for DUIs on National Park Service property and there is no right to a jury trial for those cases. Additionally, while judges in state court cannot consider at sentencing that the defendant elected a trial instead of a guilty plea, judges in federal court can "punish" the defendant for electing a trial and not pleading guilty. Finally, while appeals in state court are de novo, meaning you can get a new trial, appeals in federal court are on the record, meaning you must convince an appellate judge that the trial judge made a mistake that affected the outcome of the case.

Monday Monthly Summary: August 201320:17
Before I start this months summary can we all take a moment to appreciate the fact that it is now September , which means that the rest of the year will race by and it will soon be Christmas - sorry I just had to say that.
August has been a very eventful and fun month but also marked the end of my summer holidays which I'm sad about.
The month started with me transforming myself into Mrs Kitten Lady as I spend a fortnight syringe feeding 4 baby kittens that had been abandoned on our farm after after the mother was unfortunately was run over. They were the cutest things and despite being sad to see them go they are now in great new homes.Speaking of Manchester! August saw me take the train twice to Manchester for a spot of shopping of which the hauls have proved very popular for.
Another exciting trip during August was to Alton Towers. For those that haven't been I highly recommend it, especially Air and Rita!
How could I not forget one of the highlights of my August, Total Access Live! Signal 1 radio hosted its own concert with the likes of Union J, The Vamps, Loveable Rogues, Lawson and more and alongside my friends and family a great day was had, made better being able to touch Andy from Lawsons hand!
The most exciting day for me during August was the 22nd, Results Day! I was very happy with my results as I found out that I had got 6 A*s, 5As and 2 Bs which I was more than ready to celebrate in the evening when my lovely friend Molly hosted an amazing and eventful results day party! This day was definitely topped off by finding my first pay check had been added to my account!
The weekend following this, the bank holiday weekend, we jumped into our car and set off to Lytham St Annes where we spent the weekend relaxing on the beach and having some down time before the stress of work and college starts. For those who havent been to Lytham, it is definitely a worthwhile place to visit!
What have you been up to lately?

The six-page paper examines the importance of analytics in modern healthcare, the value of medical device data to analytics and specific applications where it is already helping make a difference in the quality and efficiency of care.
The six-page paper looks at the opportunity for hospitals to strategically consolidate elements of their technology infrastructure by deploying a new breed of "converged" medical devices that mimic the multi-functionality of today's consumer electronics.
The six-page paper provides a brief introduction to a Medical Device Information System: the challenges it can solve, and most important, the wide array of applications and complementary systems it can deliver medical device data to, helping to improve patient care delivery
Harness the Value of Medical Device Data. Download our brochure to learn more.
In this white paper, you will learn that as healthcare delivery moves beyond the four walls of hospitals and into remote venues, real-time accessibility to medical device data becomes a vital tool for clinicians.
White paper describing the types of medical device connectivity and how the vendor neutral approach minimizes points of integration, provides the greatest flexiblity and scalability for hospitals and ensures that all parameters, from all devices can be delivered to the patients record.
Medical device integration benefits hospitals by increasing productivity. Real-time data entry reduces charting errors, and saves nurses up to 3 hours a day of administrative time, freeing them up for more patient care.
White paper describing how medical device connectivity is a proven technology that can save nursing time, positively impact the accuracy and timeliness of documentation, and improve overall patient care and safety.
White paper describes how an enterprise approach to connectivity meets hospitals goals from clinical, to technical, to management.
Since their inception, clinical documentation applications such as electronic medical records (EMRs) have relied on data tagged with a location-based identifier.

Afghanistan are about to experience Test cricket for the first time, and are up against the world's No. 1 side in that format, but they certainly aren't lacking in confidence. A week ahead of his team's inaugural Test match in Bengaluru, Asghar Stanikzai raised the volume of pre-match exchanges with the claim that Afghanistan's spinners are better than India's.
Yes. Better than Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin, ranked No. 4 and 5 among the world's Test bowlers.
"The whole world knows that [we have very good spinners in] Rashid Khan, Mujeeb [Ur Rahman], [Mohammad] Nabi, Rahmat [Shah], Zahir [Khan]," Stanikzai, the Afghanistan captain, told ESPNcricinfo. "In Afghanistan, the brilliant thing is that a lot of the young talent that is coming through are spinners, because they all follow Rashid, they follow Nabi, so because of that our spin department is very strong from below.
"In my opinion, we have good spinners, better spinners than India."
Afghanistan's first ever Test squad contains frontline slow bowlers of every variety – legspinner Rashid, mystery spinner Mujeeb, left-arm wristspinner Zahir and left-arm orthodox spinner Amir Hamza – as well as spin-bowling allrounders in Nabi and Rahmat. The limited-overs exploits of Rashid, Mujeeb and Nabi have earned them recognition in T20 leagues around the world, and Zahir – uncapped in ODIs and T20Is but with an outstanding record in the Intercontinental Cup – would have joined them in the 2018 IPL if he had not picked up an injury before the tournament.
These spin resources, according to wicketkeeper Mohammad Shahzad, would help Afghanistan push India hard in Bengaluru. An upset, he said, wasn't inconceivable, taking the example of Ireland, who gave Pakistan a scare in their inaugural Test last month in Dublin.
"It can definitely happen," Shahzad said. "You know what our spinners have been doing of late. Ireland played their [first Test] match against Pakistan, in Ireland's conditions, and gave them a tough time. We are coming here and playing in India's conditions, and that too against a team that plays spin very well. We will have a tough time, for us and for them too. It won't be easy for either team. It will be a good match, Inshallah."
Shahzad said Afghanistan's spinners, particularly Rashid – ranked No. 1 and 2 in T20Is and ODIs respectively – were as good as any in the world.
"Not just India, but even if you look at the whole world, our Rashid Khan is the No. 1 spinner," Shahzad said. "You can match him up against any bowler, and you'll say, 'yes, he's better than him', or 'he's as good as him'.
"Mujeeb, Rashid, Nabi we also have Zahir Khan, who didn't get to play for Rajasthan [Royals], but he's also one such bowler – you'll see next year [in the IPL], so Alhamdulillah we have very good spinners."
Phil Simmons, Afghanistan's coach, hailed Rashid, Mujeeb and Zahir for their talent and capacity to work hard and improve, though he sounded a more cautious note than his captain while assessing them vis- -vis India's spinners.
"I don't know about better than India," Simmons said. "I think Rashid is at a different level now, if he keeps improving, but we haven't seen him that much in Test cricket. Well, we haven't seen him at all in Test cricket, but in four-day cricket we haven't seen him that much. So it's a new frontier for him. I'm sure he will conquer it, but whether he will conquer it in the first game, we'll have to see."
Having been his team-mate in both international cricket and the IPL, Nabi summed up what made Rashid stand out from other legspinners, and why he might give India some problems when he dons Test-match whites for the first time.
"He's totally different from other legspinners," Nabi said. "He's quicker in the air. When he bowls the wrong'un and the legbreak, it looks same when you play, and the most important thing is that the hand is very quick. Can't judge easily."
