A new version has been released.
You can now create attributes to assign to any flight. For instance you can create an attribute called "Dead Stick Landing" and then attach it to a log. You can then search through the logs for these attributes. To use this affectively you may need to create individual logs for each flight instead of creating a single log for a set of flights.
The battery peek voltage graph was not working in the last version and has been fixed. Peek voltage is very dependant on charge rate so I also added the ability to select the charge rate when displaying this graph. Once you select peek voltage a list box is filled in with all the charge rates used on that pack. You can then select any of these rates and the graph will change to only include these charges. In the same way I also added a charger list so you can view the peek voltage of charges made by a particular charger.
Similar to above, the flight time graph has a list box to select a particular aircraft. In cases where you used the same flight pack in multiple aircraft you can now graph the flight time of a pack for a particular model.
I also fixed a bug that prevented maintenance procedures from being cleared after maintenance records were created.

Peace Process
The UN System in Myanmar takes a multifaceted approach to peacebuilding support. We draw on global experience in peacebuilding and on the diverse expertise of individual UN agencies to support the peace process and deliver peace dividends to the people of Myanmar.
The UN in Myanmar recognises that supporting the evolving peace process in Myanmar is a delicate undertaking that requires flexibility, resourcefulness and dedication. The UN works with the Myanmar government, ethnic organizations, and civil society to identify and fill gaps in expertise and knowledge related to prevention of conflict, strengthening peacebuilding, encouraging inter-communal dialogue and peaceful coexistence; and partners with local and international organisations to deliver services, encourage conflict sensitive approaches, and attend to the needs of vulnerable groups like women and children. This conflict prevention and peacebuilding work is linked with and complements the UN's other work on development, humanitarian assistance and human rights.
The UN System in Myanmar is headed by the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator, who provides leadership and coordination to the UN System's support to the Myanmar peace process. The UN's support to Myanmar's peace efforts also includes the engagement of the Department of Political Affairs, the UN Development Programme Bureau for Policy and Programme Support, the Peacebuilding Support Office, and the special mandates and operational capacities of the UN agencies, funds and programs present in the country as well as non-resident agencies with programmes in Myanmar.
UN response in Myanmar
The agencies comprising the UN Country Team (UNCT) have invested $22 million in interventions that have directly and indirectly supported the peace process and peacebuilding in recent years. It should also be noted that a significant and increasing proportion of the UN's day-to-day work being carried out under the respective mandates and technical expertise of UN agencies is contributing to preventing conflict and strengthening the foundations for peace.
- Addressing forced labour abuses stemming from conflict, including by introducing community‑based labour intensive infrastructure work and market appropriate skills training. These actions create employment opportunities, develop livelihoods and introduce decent work practices to communities, and support reconciliation between previous parties to conflicts by building new relationships based on respect for human rights and human dignity.
- Through training, empowering ethnic youths in Mon and Kayin states to break free of the cycle of mistrust and suspicion between different ethnic groups, promote a culture of inclusion and peaceful resolution of conflicts, and become peace-builders in their communities.
- Recognising that Myanmar's peace process is closely linked to its democratic transition, the UN works with union, state and local governments to bolster their democratic governance capacity and build strong institutions. This involves supporting public administration reform and strengthening sub-national governance including of civil society organisation (CSO) networks and rural women's groups; increasing access to justice and rule of law; providing advisory services to the executive, legislature and judiciary; and targeted capacity building training for parliamentarians.
- Supporting community resilience and inter-community trust through socio-economic assistance to conflict and disaster affected communities; facilitating interaction and dialogue between communities and decision-makers; and targeted peacebuilding training for local administrations, non-state actors and CSOs.
- Promoting peace through education, culture, science and the free flow of ideas and knowledge, including by training journalists and teachers to deliver conflict sensitive reporting and education.
- Creating ways for multi-ethnic and multi-religious communities to come together – for instance, through establishing joint markets, agro-service centres, and constructing dams, bridges and schools – with a view to building mutual trust and encouraging peaceful coexistence.
- Working with and mediating between conflict parties, partner NGOs and government service providers to allow children living in conflict-affected areas to attend school, receive medical care and social support services, and access sanitation facilities. Bringing parties together around the needs of children helps to build relationships, which contribute to conflict resolution.
- Monitoring of and reporting on underage recruitment and use of children in armed conflict, as dictated by UN Security Council Resolution 1612 on Children and Armed Conflict.
- Supporting the Centre for Diversity and National Harmony (CDNH) with funding support from the UN Peacebuilding Fund. CDNH is an independent non-governmental organization that was established in Myanmar to enhance social harmonisation, peaceful coexistence and mitigation of violence, with a particular emphasis on intercommunal violence.
- Providing life-saving food assistance or cash based transfers to people who have been displaced by conflict (internally displaced people, or IDPs) in Kachin, northern Shan, Rakhine states, and to vulnerable and food insecure people in Mon and Kayin states and Tanintharyi region.
- In conflict settings, addressing gender based violence (GBV) – which creates barriers for women and young girls to participate in peace building processes – to contribute to lasting peace in the community.
- Bringing together ethnic health organization and government to work collaboratively on building capacity in maternal and child health service delivery. This work has created a space for trust building between ethnic health organizations and government departments that were divided by decades of internal conflict.
Going forward, the UN will continue to accompany the peace process in Myanmar and look for opportunities to support all the stakeholders in their efforts to build lasting peace. While respecting Myanmar's peace process is nationally owned, the UN stands ready to continue assisting domestic efforts to promote enduring peace and national harmony.

#rk3de14 Rolex Kentucky 2014 Posts A Record Breaking Attendance
It's great to be back on the air after my vacation, but I have to be honest, I didn't miss work while attending the Rolex Kentucky 3 Day Event in Lexington this past week. It was my first visit to Kentucky Horse Park and it was INCREDIBLE. Seriously, it's like mecca for horse lovers! I got to see and do a ton of stuff and watch my friend Julie Norman and her horse Consensus (aka Thomas) compete in her first ever Rolex.
To put it in perspective, the Olympics are a three star event... Rolex is a four star event and the only one of it's kind in the Western hemisphere. Yes, you read that correctly, Rolex is even more daunting than the Olympics and draws the top riders from around the world. To qualify is an honor and to actually make it through all three phases is a huge accomplishment! My friend Julie not only completed all three phases (dressage, cross country and show jumping) she placed 29th in a field full of talented and experienced competitors her first time out!
It's great to see how much eventing as a sport has grown. According to the officials at Kentucky Horse Park, the event drew 35K+ in attendance. Amazing!!! And speaking of amazing, the shopping is incredible! I finally bit the bullet and bought my very own pair of Dubarry boots, made fashionable by Kate Middleton. I hope my husband doesn't look at the credit card bill!
Either way, if you're a horse person and you're thinking of a vacation, you have to do Rolex at least once! From listening to commentary by Sally O'Connor during to dressage, to tailgating during cross country, to the excitement in the stadium for show jumping, Rolex is a true EVENT! It's a great trip to take with the girls and you never know, I might even invite my husband next year. After all, there IS a bar:)

Chapter 1, Untangling the Question. The main point: The question of the meaning of life needs to be clarified before it can be properly addressed. We can inquire to find the meaning of life in a way that can be true and universal, while making room for individual and cultural differences.
A first expansion. Chapter 1 will probably impress you with how a philosopher trained (at Oxford) in the analytic tradition can clarify the complexities implicit in a question that at first glance may seem obvious: What is the meaning of life? Just getting clear about the question and its implications if often a very important beginning to an inquiry. As you read the chapter, please recognize that the headings "Unanswerable questions," "Unknowable answers," and "No universal answers," represent summary objections to the view for which GT is arguing. Notice on pp. 12 –13 the reference to kinds of value—this will prove to be an important topic as the book unfolds. As GT sorts out the ways of understanding the question of the meaning of life, he announces just one major conclusion: "An understanding of the meaning of life must have some practical implications for the way that we conduct our lives." (10)
On p. 3 and 13 you will notice direct or indirect criticisms of religious ways of responding to the key questions of this inquiry. Ask yourselves how a religionist might respond. It will be therefore of particular interest to indicate possible lines of response to GT's materialist arguments to help the student assess how strong they are when confronted with some responses from the perspective of a religious philosophy. Obviously it is up to the individual reader to arrive and his or her own decision whether a particular reply is as strong as GT's argument.
Chapter 2, The Infinite. Main point: We don't have to assume that meaning in life necessarily depends on relating our life to God.
Expansion: this chapter argues not against the idea that God exists but against the idea that meaning in life is to be understood solely in terms of its reference to God (or the Infinite or the Absolute). Pp. 17-19 challenge the idea of the authority of God being the basis of values. The argument has important parallels with the Euthyphro dilemma; review the webnotes (http://www.personal.kent.edu/~jwattles/dilemma.htm) and ask whether they help provide any answer to GT's argument.
Note an important philosophical point: the "mere fact" of God's (allegedly) having a purpose for human life doesn't justify the normative conclusion ['value judgment'] that we ought to honor that purpose. [Question: should a religionist accept the characterization of the (alleged) fact of God's purpose as a mere fact without normative implications?] In general, it is a mistake to conclude a value judgment or a normative claim about obligation merely from premises that simply state matters of fact. If a religionist must make that kind of mistake, then this criticism on this point is incisive indeed.
Regarding GT's claim about the "false dichotomy," how might a religionist respond?
On p. 20 you see a critique of the idea that life has no real meaning except as a way to gain a better after-life. Would an intelligent religionist make such an extreme claim? If not, how could the claim be modified?
P. 22: would immortality make life boring and meaningless? Necessarily?
Note the distinction between factual and normative claims toward the bottom of p. 18. This will be a focus of later reflection.
GT then argues that it imposes a false dichotomy to ask someone to choose between affirming an objective, divine purpose and settling for a merely subjective, human purpose. There are alternatives.
In more detail: Read the paragraph beginning at the bottom of p. 16 plus the following paragraph, which discuss Annie Dillard's quoting the Bible: "What does the Lord require of you but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?" Is it necessarily an appeal to authority to quote the Bible? What would be implied if she were in fact making an appeal to authority? Have we evidence of that here? What other possibility is there for using this quote?
GT's conclusion: Even if God exists and if He wills what is good, then His will does not constitute the good, but rather reflects it" (18). If the issue could be reduced to the choice between two one-sided and simplistic alternatives, one might indeed prefer GT's conclusion, but mature religious thought may well reject this way of setting up the question. GT's first chapter has well shown the importance of careful work on a question before trying to answer it. In case the question here carries problematic assumptions, it merits comparable work. In particular, if God's authority is not merely that of an external but omniscient observer, but if our being and our good and the meaningfulness of our lives involve our relationship with him, and if his spirit presence indwells the mind—including the heart of our center of motivation towards our interests—then knowing him and seeking his will would have a major affect on our experience of intrinsic value in our daily activities—the key to the meaning of life for GT.
Comments on GT's refutation of Nozick. Finding meaning is indeed (at least often) a matter of placing something in a wider context. Even the intrinsic values in GT's meaningful life have to do with the self's relation to something beyond itself. Activities are interactions. To substitute "value" for "meaning" doesn't do the work GT wants it to do, since there are meanings of values, too. There is no infinite regress since, for the believer, God is eternal truth and the source of eternal truth, the source of endless expansion of meaning.
Chapter 3, Is There a Plan? Main point. Evolutionary theory makes it unnecessary to appeal to divine purpose to explain life and the characteristics we have as organisms.
This chapter characterizes the personality concept of God (e.g., the Father concept of God or the concept of the motherly love of God) as anthropomorphic personifications (anthropomorphism—conceiving God, e.g., in human form). How might a religionist reply? (In case you want to read some more on this try http://www.personal.kent.edu/~jwattles/unifam.htm)
How does GT manage to characterize the theory of evolution so that there is no possibility of accepting both evolution (natural selection + genetics + biochemistry of DNA) and the concept of a purposive Creator operating behind the mechanical causation traced by science?
Because we're a bit rushed for time, I'm going to allow you to skip the appendix—but read the first paragraph of it. The argument there is, like most of the arguments in this book, very clear, very up-to-date, very interesting, and very challenging to traditional religious thinking.
Chapter 4, The Purpose of Goals. Main point. If we regard an activity as merely a means to a goal, then we will miss whatever intrinsic (non-instrumental) value it may have. Example: you do a job you dislike merely to earn money for school. If you could handle school bills without doing the job, you would do so. Thinking of the meaning of activities only in terms of goals (surprisingly) takes away from whatever values of the activity that you could enjoy while doing it. This is true for all goals, divine or human. Being oriented toward goals serves the purpose of enhancing our activities, not the other way around. "A person is not just a means to achievement" (51).
First, note the critique of the idea that meaning in life is only a matter of turning your life into an instrument for serving the goal of God (as though there were nothing in your life that is "non-instrumentally" valuable). How can a religionist reply? Notice GT's important critique of the notion that meaning is all about purpose—as though purpose (divine or human) threatens to strip life of intrinsically worthwhile activities (49-50). Note GT's helpful discussion of the difference between two distinctions: the first between instrumental and intrinsically valuable activities and the second between means and ends (50-55; note the helpful summary of the argument of this chapter to this point on p. 55). Notice that the critique of a goal-oriented answer to the question of the meaning of life challenges human as well as divine goals as being able to provide the answer that one might seek to the question of the meaning of life.
Chapter 5, Spiritual Development. "The religious aspect of life needs to be reconceptualized to avoid the error of turning life into only a means to Heaven, Nirvana, or union with God." We are capable of "training our consciousness to pay attention to value, and this constitutes a form of self-improvement." It may be, for all that has been argued thus far, that "part of the meaning of life consists in the contemplation or worship of the divine." But "rather than starting from the divine and understanding the meaning of our lives in terms of that, we should start from meaningful activities, such as contemplation and worship . . . and, from this, try to make sense of the divine."
Enjoy the fine, brief summary of a certain kind of Buddhism, and note the conclusion that GT draws on pp. 66-67—which applies both to religious and non-religious persons.
Chapter 6, Happiness. Pleasure theories (hedonism) define happiness in terms of pleasure or satisfying one's desires. But the fact that we'd miss something by plugging into Nozick's "experience machine" shows that the meaning of life is more than pleasure. Actually, our desires are, at best, just a guide to our interests—the motivational source of non-instrumental desires (e.g., desires for friendship and beauty).
Why does GT argue that happiness a poor candidate for the meaning of life—and what definition of happiness does he use? Can you find the main lines of GT's alternative theory? How does he distinguish desire and interest?
In this chapter GT refers to his book, Needs (London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1987). Here are a few quotations from the Introduction (n.p.).
Needs are objective in the sense that it is a discoverable matter of fact what needs people have and this fact has an intrinsic bearing on what we ought to do. 'Need' allows us to pass from an 'is' statement to an 'ought'.
Needs are unimpeachable values. We cannot say truly that people ought to have different needs, and hence needs provide a bed-rock for evaluation.
Needs are a matter or priority. What we need is something which we cannot do without, and hence is an overriding reason.
Not all needs are instrumental; the notion of a fundamental or non-instrumental need is a normative concept because it pertains to serious harm.
Fundamental needs are inescapable.
Harm should be defined in terms of interests and not desires.
Harm is not indefinitely plastic.
The concept of a need is in a certain respect vague but this does not mean that needs are relative.
Needs must be distinguished from desires and needs override desires as prudential reasons.
The concept of a need cannot be analysed prescriptively.
'Need' makes a virtue of necessity.
Chapter 7, The Invention of Meaning. Main point: meaning is discovered, not invented. An activity is meaningful because of the value(s) connected with the activity. Evaluative statements, such as "the breeze is refreshing" can be true or false (this is the "cognitivist" position).
Much of the chapter is difficult, but worth working at; it's GT's argument against the idea that meaning is merely subjective. Note GT's first arguments against the "invention of meaning" view in the section, "Relevance" (83f). How does GT argue against non-cognitivism and for cognitivism? Note that when he comes to metaphysics in chapter 8, GT will argue that meaning and value do not exist, are not entities, are not real. In what sense then doe he propose a realist theory of value? Try to grasp his view of the alleged is/ought gap: that empirical statements can by themselves support evaluative conclusions, and that we cannot disentangle descriptive and evaluative components in terms that have both aspects (e.g., "he is diligent").
Chapter 8, Soft Reality. We can agree with materialism that the universe (all that exists) contains nothing but things that are material) while still recognizing the meanings and values in human experience. There are three ways to do this: (1) we can say that some properties of material things are non-material; (2) we can say that basic material properties give rise to non-material ("supervening") properties; or (3) we can say that material things can be described in non-material ways as well as in material ways. You may wish to read the final conclusion first as a clue to where the argument is going. Why might a religionist object to GT's claim not to have a reductionist view? For GT, statements of meaning and value describe matter.
Chapter 9, Appreciation. Realism is the view that we can perceive meaning and value; thus, statements of meaning and value can be true or false. Thus, we can succeed in recognizing values, and we can also sometimes fail to be aware of values. We can learn to experience more value by training our attention.
Chapter 10, Beyond the Self. We connect to people by (1) appreciating them through our own perception and feelings, being aware of their valuable character-traits and ways of being; (2) making some of their concerns our own goals; (3) gaining a sense of "we."
Chapter 11, Metaphysical Expressions. If human life in general says or expresses something, then it is to be interpreted as having expressive value. Heidegger's metaphysics claims to show what it means to be, or by revealing what human existence in general expresses. According to Heidegger, to take up authentically and resolutely our being-towards-death takes us beyond our inauthentic ways of just saying, thinking, and seeing what our social group says, thinks, and feels.
Chapter 12, The Novelist. In addition to possible expressive value that human life may have in general, there may be ways in which a particular life expresses something. Our lives are more than particular intentional actions following life plans. There are patterns, changes, and aspects of life beyond the conscious mind. Our life is not a text or a story, so hermeneutics does not exactly apply the way it does in the paradigm case of a text; but hermeneutics can be applied to some extent. The parts of one's life thus far make sense in terms of the whole (and vice-versa); there are many dimensions of meaning and interpretation, but it is also possible to have a mistaken understanding of one's life; finally, to interpret well, one needs a critical self-awareness of one's presuppositions.
Chapter 13, Everyday Life. Meaning in life has to be found in everyday activities, and focusing on the question, "What are the meaning of my life at this time, in this particular context" "requests one to specify the particular challenges and struggles that one faces." We have learned to avoid nine mistakes: (1) only the infinite (e.g., God) has meaning, and the finite can only find meaning in relation to the infinite; (2) the meaning of life consists in some goal or purpose; (3) the meaning of life is happiness; (4) the meaning of life must be invented; (5) life cannot have a meaning if the universe is entirely composed of matter, as science teaches; (6) the sole or primary purpose of evaluations is to guide our choice of actions, and value judgments are basically nothing more than reasons for action; (7) the meaning of a person's life cannot extend beyond him or herself; (8) a person's life cannot be meaningful since only linguistic terms have meaning; (9) the meaning of our lives consists in our living in accordance with a self-determined life plan.
The overall positive lessons are (1) that the meanings of life are in the living, and it is the person that has primary non-instrumental value; (2) we can enhance the meaning and value of our activities by paying attention to untapped value possibilities around us; (3) we can also build a better world or life for ourselves by acting in accord with our interests rather than merely following our desires; (4) a realism about meaning and value saves one from subjectivism, and the fact that values correlate with our interests saves us from absolutism; (5) non-instrumental relations with others are essential; (6) goodness, beauty, and truth help us form goals; (6) interpreting what our lives express and reveal about ourselves enables us to understand ourselves more deeply and to live more in accord with the values mentioned above; (7) spiritual significance in life, if there is one, should be understood in the above terms of reaching out to values beyond ourselves with our attention and actions, not as becoming merely the instruments of a divine purpose or as having a transcendent goal as the source of our meaning in life.
Class notes for July 26, 2006
Chapter 2 Here are some of Thomson's arguments against religious theories followed by beginnings of replies that a religionist might offer.
Appeal to authority is a poor ground for the meaning of one's life (17). [Is that all religion offers?]
Logically, there is an open question whether any command is good; we can give reasons in favor of it, therefore a command does not define meaningfulness (17). [Correct, but a religious philosopher would not imply otherwise.]
Values are not based on authority (17). [Does religion claim otherwise? Let's explore the relation between supreme truth, beauty, and goodness and divinity.]
We are not mere possessions of God, (slavish) obedience to whom would devalue ourselves (17). [Most religious thinkers would not affirm what GT is criticizing.]
A factual claim that God has a purpose for our lives does not validate the normative claim that we ought to devote our lives to fulfilling it (18-19). [Logically speaking, a good point; additional premises need to be supplied and the conclusion needs to be rewritten. But note the contrast between this discussion and Thomson's rejection of the is-ought distinction on pp. 90ff.
Moreover, it "claims exclusive authority," seems final, important, and authoritative (19). [Most religionists would acknowledge that a person may have a meaningful life without faith in God, but what about the a meaningful life in its fullness and depth? And, in the end, might not the initial acknowledgment be in some way misleading? This is one of the thorniest issues in the debate.]
To contrast God-originated purpose with merely subjective purpose is a false dichotomy (19). [Thomson's commitments to scientific objectivity and to human need anchor this claim.]
The solar system and the universe will eventually be in ruins (20, quoting Bertrand Russell). [To challenge this widespread conclusion of "scientific cosmology" is difficult, but possible.]
If not having eternal life makes it all meaningless, what's the complaint? There must be something good about the finite life we know! (21) [There is something good about this life, and this life has everything to do with God and with the wider universe adventure to which this life is the antechamber.]
Moreover, an eternal life is arguably boring (22). [This now popular claim shows remarkably little imagination and understanding of a religious conception of an infinite eternal God and creative potentials that should open up as one ascends in the universe.]
Next, I reconstruct an argument that Thomson makes, using a different reading of Nozick. Finding meaning in something often a matter of connecting it to a wider context. If one were to make that observation into a universal requirement or definition, then it would apply to that wider context as well, which itself could only be meaningful in terms of a still wider context, and so on, until the widest possible context were reached. But that widest possible context could not, by this criterion, be meaningful. This would make meaning contingent on its relation to something meaningless. Nozick discovered this puzzle and considered the possibility that that the puzzle would be resolved if God were to exist as the widest context, since the infinity of God would keep any context from being the last one.
Nozick, followed by Thomson, observed another route to meaningfulness: a connection to value. Activities are meaningful not only because of their connections to wider spheres of meaning but also because of their values. While these two approaches to meaning hardly exhaust philosophers' technical notions in the theory of meaning, they do address what is of prime importance in meaning of life discussions.
GT' claim: "Now that we have removed the threat of a regress, the motivation to posit a uniquely, inherently meaningful absolute has also been eliminated." (25) [This claim, as GT surely knows, is overstated.]
Chapter 3. GT denies that there is forced choice between affirming either a universe as the creation of a purposive Creator and a universe in which life is explained by meaningless material forces and things forming life by chance and necessity, self-organization (Teilhard de Chardin vs. Jacques Monod).
"Evolution" is often used as a blanket term covering the following theses.
1. Early life forms were the ancestors of all later life forms; biological evolution is a process of "descent with modification."
2. Natural selection is an important process in evolution.
3. Natural selection is the main process in evolution.
4. The origin of living organisms is an accident wholly due to physical and chemical processes.
5. The continuities between humans and monkeys, chimpanzees, and other primates, make it wrong to think of discontinuities of mind and spirit between human beings and animals.[i]
The first two theses are well supported, the third is controversial, the fourth is speculative, and the fifth is a philosophical claim going beyond biology; so it is understandable that conflating them spawns conflict.
What is self-organization? See http://psoup.math.wisc.edu/archive/sosfaq.html. Systems acquire organization without outside causes and a way that cannot be explained reductionistically in terms of the laws implicit in the system components. Thus properties "emerge" that are not found in their component parts. The phenomena are studied mathematically and are beginning to be compared empirically to see how well they seem to explain a host of phenomena at all levels of nature. (Comment: the term "self-organization" gives the impression of excluding the possibility of a Creator.)
What is Daniel Dennett's argument? He wrote this paper before his book, Darwin's Dangerous Idea came out: http://gort.ucsd.edu/jhan/ER/dd.html Here's just one critique: http://www.bu.edu/wcp/Papers/Meth/MethRick.htm.
GT emphasizes that arguments for evolution do not prove that God does not exist, but methodologically make purposive or teleological explanations of no empirical value. He is particularly concerned to preserve the possibility of a meaningful life, indeed one including spiritual values, as we shall see, even if we accept what he calls "the materialism of science."
Chapter 5. After presenting Theravada Buddhism as a religion of self-transformation without a Creator God, GT sets forth what he calls the paradoxical character of the Buddhist distinction between the higher, absolute truth (according to which Buddhism has no self and no aim) and the lower, relative truth (according to which a self has a goal to attain nirvana). Then, after dropping the remark that if God exists he would be responsible for suffering of the world, GT returns to the notion of the divine and suggests that those who are so minded might better start from meaningful activities, such as contemplation and worship and try to make sense of the divine in this experiential way. This, he proposes, would be superior to trying to start with a "transcendental" God. (If God could be experienced, would he be transcendental? If transcendental, could he be experienced? This, by the way, is the problem alleged by Kant.)

In high school the BMI testing said I was at risk of being overweight. Now, I probably am. Too much food and not enough exercise. I have that luxury and I remember it every day at lunch.
I was going to write a long informative blog about hunger. But after this has set in my drafts folder for three weeks I have decided to make it a short, thoughtful entry. There are many people around the world who don't have enough food to eat, enough water to drink, enough money to survive.
In recent news articles and blogs I read where parents in Africa are having to leave their children behind to die because there is not enough food. Another article talked about how at many refugee camps the food was taken back from the refugees after the journalists took photos. Much of the foreign relief aid was ending up on the market. These people don't have enough food. Another article even more recently talked about hunger in the United States and how many children were going hungry. One child stated that the hardest time was when his mom wouldn't eat so that he could.
Every morning on my way to work I have a package of poptarts and a soda. Then later in the afternoon I sit at my desk and eat lunch: A yogurt, sandwich, chips, crackers, cookies and drink. It is a little awkward because it reminds me of how lucky I am. I am interning at an organization whose mission is to end world hunger and poverty. At lunch I am eating more than some families get to eat in a week.

Selling the Love: Social Networking at It's Best
I'm on an airplane flying from Charleston, South Carolina back to Chicago after visiting my two sisters there for a week. Thanks to Southwest Airlines, great trust-building agents (per Chris Brogan), I am now riffing off of Southwest's magazine and it's great article on Colleen Barrett, President Emeritus of Southwest.
She and Ken Blanchard of One Minute fame have just come out with a new book called "Lead with Luv." This book is part of Blamchard's "Leading at a Higher Level Series." This book, being a "Poke the Box," Seth Godin kind of book, puts customer service out as a leading initiative for growing vibrant companies.
While I use the line often now, "It"s always about the people," Southwest makes my mantra sound like a whisper compared to their roar of fun and love–the top two values at Southwest.
So while I'm now in descent mode getting ready to land and, yes! turning off my IPhone that I blogged out this post on, I am saying happy thank you's to a company that initiates all their day-to-day creations–creating one better customer relationship at a time with their essence of love.
Do you lead with love? I do. What other companies or leaders do you know that lead with love?
Hint: stay tuned for more on this subject as I share others who lead with love with some great stories from past book, Angels in the Workplace and more.

Online Home Business
I wasn't really looking for anything when my Online Home Business fell in my lap. People ask me how I found it and I tell them, and I'm serious about it, that I didn't find it. It found me. So, this is my story and a bit of my background to tell you what has and is continuing to happen with me and what I do. It really is incredible what an Online Home Business can do for you when you find one that works that you love.
Some of you know the story of How I found P90X. In a nutshell, I was sitting on the couch, watching TV one Saturday morning and saw the infomercial. I didn't order it because I was VERY skeptical. The next Saturday, I saw it again with my wife and she said, "You won't do it". I pulled out my debit card and ordered it right then, along with the pullup bar, meal replacement shake, activit vitamins, protein bars, etc. I decided I was going to be all in. I knew it was for real because when I got involved, I weighed nearly 300 lbs at 6'3″ and I knew, although I wasn't sloppy fat or morbidly obese, that I was very much overweight. I had been comparing myself to others for years and one day I realized I had to do something. That was when P90X came into my life and it was literally dropped in my lap by God. I firmly believe that. But, I had to work at it and over the course of about 5 to 6 months, I dropped 80 lbs and was in better shape than when I graduated from The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina.
Online Home Business – How I started
My wife and I had been involved in several "business opportunities". We had been involved in a different Network Marketing Company in the early 90's, before the internet was available to the public and we ended up spending more money than we made. We learned a lot but we lost a lot of money. I swore I'd never do another MLM EVER!! I was done with that business model. We got involved with anchor posts for mobile homes and movable structures, vending machines, investment properties (rentals and rent-to-own) and a few other various things here and there but nothing ever panned out. I wasn't "displeased" with my Engineering income, but I knew instinctively what most wealthy people will tell you. In order to live a good lifestyle that is more stress free and not to worry about money, you have to diversify. But, not only do you need to diversify, you need multiple streams of residual income. I knew that, but, because of life situations and where I was and working on my career, I couldn't do what I wanted to do to build that kind of business and make it happen with the support structure I had. So, I had virtually given up and decided that I was just going to be an Engineer for the rest of my life, and that was fine. Again, MLMs were NOT in the picture for me. They were icky and I had no intention of ever doing that again. Well, here is the rest of the story. This is the video I made at the Coach Summit a few years ago and it explains my journey. But basically, I wanted to help people with the Beachbody Products, again, because I had already been successful, and I wanted to share that with others. I wasn't really looking for an Online Home Business, but again, it fell in my lap. Here is my story, in video form followed by an article from one of the founders of Beachbody, Carl Daikeler.
Online Home Business – Where We Go From Here
I am totally stoked about where we go from here with our Online Home Business. I sincerely got involved to save 25% on the products I was already purchasing, and then to make $250 a month. I was a coach for a travel baseball team and when people can't pay their own way, the coaches and parents of other kids have to step up. That meant, I had expenses I wasn't counting on and $250 would help me offset that. So, I did what I knew I was going to do anyway and I shared the Beachbody programs with whoever would listen and as they got results, or if they were interested, I shared the Beachbody Coaching Opportunity with them also. The first week I made $12.75. The second week I made about $20. The third week I made $12.00. My fourth week I broke $100 and I knew it was for real. That was the week our fourth child was born and I had been laid off from my Engineering job a couple of months before I signed up as a Coach and I was unemployed at the time. Over time, the income kept going up and although I had another Engineering job and was working 10+ hours some days, I continued to talk to people about Beachbody. Eventually, my Beachbody income surpassed my Engineering income and when I got laid off in the summer of 2011, again, due to the economy, I was in a position to make Beachbody Coaching my full time income because I had built this Online Home Business. Beachbody provides all of the tools and a lot of support and we also get support from other coaches in our group and I can't say anything other than it's phenomenal. I had gone from swearing I'd never do another MLM to shuddering to think that Beachbody Coaching would not be a part of my life.
So, I'll leave you with a few things as a takeaway from this blog. If you are still reading, trust me and do this. Don't depend on a job or the economy. Build this business!! Don't be a dead fish floating down the river hoping and wishing for things to be better. Take charge of your life. I personally think this is it because of the products we have, the founders of the company and where we are headed, but do something. Don't wait for life to happen to you. Set your sails, chart your course and go where you want to go. Contact me for more details. I'd love to share more of my story with you.

5 Ways to Start Your Weekly Meal Plan
Sometimes the hardest part to anything is getting started. For me and exercising, I find that once I put my exercise clothes on, I'm 100% more likely to go out. Likewise, with meal planning, settling on something to start with for the week helps to get the ball rolling. Here are some strategies I've used that you may want to try for planning your meals for the week!
1. Shop Local
We're approaching the time of year when a Saturday morning trip to the Farmer's Market becomes the perfect way to start a meal plan. When the Farmer's Markets are a little less exciting, I'll replace this with a short trip to one of the more gourmet grocery stores instead. 1/2 a bushel of fresh fava beans available? Time to find a recipe for fava beans. Six zucchini for $2? Time to plan some meals featuring zucchini. Fancy pancy cheese half price? Time to find a recipe to use up some inexpensive but super tasty cheese.
2. Shop Flyers
There is little sense in planning four beef dishes in a week if you have no beef and beef is not on sale anywhere, at least if you would prefer not to spend a tonne on groceries for the week! Perusing the flyers and planning your meals around the most inexpensive proteins for the week will help you stay on budget and give you a starting point to choose meals from.
3. Don't Shop at All
Creating an inventory from what you have on hand can inspire meals using items on hand. There's also nothing quite like freeing up space in the freezer by working your way through items your past self thought worth saving. From frozen meat and vegetables, to pantry items, to fresh items on their way out, there is often a lot of food to work from in your own home once you go looking for it.
4. Work With a Theme
Start with setting aside one day for a meatless meal (Hello, Meatless Monday's!), one for chicken, one for beef, one for pasta, one for pasta, one for something egg-based, one for a slow-cooker meal, one for dinner out, one for tacos (that one's for my sister!), etc.. I use this strategy most regularly in conjunction with the others.
5. Peruse Other Meal Plans
Whether they are my own (harmless, self-promotion here: http://eatingtheinternet.ca/category/meal-plans/), from a favourite cooking site (one of my favourites is: http://www.skinnytaste.com/meal-plans/), or maybe even a bank of your own standards, there's no sense in reinventing the wheel. Even if you don't end up following what someone else has created 100%, use it for inspiration!
What strategies do you use when meal planning? Perhaps try something new, and let me know how it goes!

Hello everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season.
Today I have a new design featuring gold studs and gold nail stickers from Lightinthebox.com. They were kind enough to reach out to me and ask if I would like to share these products with you all!
Two things that really caught my eye were these gold diamond studs and floral nail stickers. I usually prefer silver to gold, but during the holidays, I always love how much warmer and more festive gold looks.
I used Essie "Toggle to the Top" (the perfect, deep holiday red) on my index and pinky fingers under the gold studs, and of course I used my beloved OPI Liquid Sand "Honey Ryder" as an accent on my ring finger. Then I layered the gold decal over a white polish on my middle nail. I decided to pair these products together because I love how they look combined! You can choose one or the other for a more simplistic mani, of course. But I really love all of the gold with the deep red.
There are 90 stickers on the sheet that this decal is from, and they come in various floral and swirly designs. They are all so beautiful, and make such a great accent to a mani! They are very easy to apply, as long as you have some experience with applying nail stickers and are careful of bubbles. The stickers come in different sizes to fit different sized nails, as well. The studs are not very raised, so they stay pretty flush with the nail. If you use a good quality nail glue, I think that these would last for a while! There are 300 studs in the package.
If you're interested in buying from this website, I would recommend it! Just make sure that you are aware of the shipping. It took 10 days for my package to arrive, because they are based in China. I wasn't in a hurry to receive the products, so the shipping wasn't a problem for me. If this also isn't a problem for you, then this website would be a great place to get nail supplies, fashion accessories, and more! They carry a very wide range of items on their site, and they have great prices.
Let me know what you all think of this design and of these products! I'm excited to use them in future manis. :)

Tileset bonanza
Lot of figuring out was done in the past weeks. Mostly research and foresight against future bottlenecks, since it would suck to create hundreds of sprites and then find out a tiny detail I missed rendered them useless in the end, so I took the extra time to prep against that.
First thing was research. This meant downloading a truckload of spritesheet, tilesets, screenshots and other similar images that show tilesets in action on how they look ingame, how they're structured, whats the pros and cons of each style…
Next up, I noticed there were multiple core styles of how the structure of a tile is set up and how the lighting works. There were multiple variables to consider:
- Outline vs no Outline
- Neutral omnidirectional lighting vs cinematic shading
- Round vs Square external shape
- Internal thickness
- Transparency
Each of these play an important part in terms of gameplay and aesthetics, depending on what the game's design is supposed to accomplish. Like outlines make sense for a game with a zoomed out view and high speed scrolling camera, since an outline makes surfaces more visible to the human eye and gives clarity on what is solid and what is not.
Also omnidirectional lighting is best used for destructible block based games, since they rely on a seperate lighting system to create shading, unlike in more cinematic games, such as Super Metroid, where the blocks already have lighting pre-drawn into them for a better atmospheric effect.
All in all I came up with these primary types to draw:
1. Flat
2. Omnidirectional shading + outline
3. Cinematic shading w/o outline
4. Cinematic shading with outline
5. Transparent block
For each of those, I need 53 tiles to be drawn x3, for varying thickness and x2 for both square and rounded versions to cover for all possible cases. I may be missing something, so it may not be a final number, but generally that'd make 318 sprites that I need to draw. And thats only the beginning.
Aside from that, I've also identified 3 different complexity levels of tiles, which the developer would use depending on how simple or advanced of tile sets they want to use:
Type 1 is obviously the most complex and most comprehensive tileset, while Type 2 and Type 3 offer cheaper alternatives at the cost of simpleness in aesthetics.
On top of that, theres also the frosting system, which is basically a strip that can be layed over all the four sides of a tile to act as grass, grunge or topping:
I made a large selection of such frostings for a variety of possible materials, be it grass, sand, snow, rocks, mechanical, organic or anything else that could be layed on top of a block.
I also did a more limited selection for the angled tiles, with the ones I felt most important to do.
I still have literally hundreds of sprites to draw and the ones shown here aren't finished either, so it'll take some time to get this stuff done.

What do you make of leftover space when you restructure an old building and don't have anything to make out of the pre-made elevator shaft? Why, if you're architect Hernandez Silva, you'd build a toilet right on top of the space, complete with a glass floor to give guests the illusion of walking over air.
It's simply the easiest way to make going to the bathroom more natural than ever especially if your biggest fear is falling into an eternal sinkhole. The creepy but cool design came after Silva decided to not install a private elevator entrance in the 15-level shaft inside of a 1970s Mexican colonial style penthouse. Instead, he used the feature as a form of joke or entertainment for unsuspecting guests.
The floor-less effect also makes the bathroom look slightly bigger and more airy than had the floor been filled with traditional marble or tile. Not worry though: The glass is industrial strength and strong enough to support any guest no matter what size as long as they're brave enough to use this particular bathroom.
The bathroom fits in with the rest of the home's aesthetics which eliminate the use of walls and instead opting for large glass windows to provide openness and space expansion. This also fills the contemporary style penthouse with more light and natural scenery while red columns, walls, and cabinets accent the home. You would never imagine this four-bedroom space to hold such a surprise in the bathroom. Everything looks so shiny and slippery, we're hoping that's the one place you wouldn't want to slide around in. Alternatively, you can always stick a carpet in the middle of the floor to disguise the 15 stories underneath, but where's the fun in that? After a couple of tries, we're sure you'll get used to the effect and even come to appreciate its quirk. We'd be lying if we said we didn't want to try this bathroom out.

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet flew out 10 young players to fulfil a fixture in Portugal last night - and avoid calling the game off.
Poyet sent out a late emergency call for the under-21 side who headed off in a hurry ahead of the match with Spanish side Recreativo de Huelva.
The Black Cats chief did not want to use his thin first team squad and was thinking about cancelling the friendly.
However Sunderland officials decided to send the fringe men to join the 16-strong senior party and fulfil the fixture.
Poyet wants to make new signings but the lack of enough new arrivals left his party small and forced him to call on the youngsters to come to the rescue.
The under-21 side had been due to play at Grimsby, but their plans were quickly changed to get Poyet out of a hole.

A group of West Sussex Scouts has become the first in the county to complete a live evacuation exercise as part of their Duke of Cornwall Award.
The 4th Littlehampton Scout Group hosted a group of 'evacuees' on Friday evening, when they set up a temporary rest centre for a group of 'residents' who had to be moved when a severe weather warning led to the risk of flooding.
The ten to 14-year-old boys and girls have been completing their Duke of Cornwall Award as part of the What If? programme, run by the West Sussex Resilience and Emergencies Team.

PRAIA URBANA 10 YEARS OFFICIAL AFTERMOVIEfeaturing Butch, Harvey McKay, Dosem, Mendo & Supernova
Praia Urbana (Urban Beach in Portuguese) is the longest running and largest outdoor house music and techno festival in Texas. It started in 2006 and takes place in the heart of downtown Houston, as well Austin and has even been featured in Ibiza.
The Lineup:
Nic Fanciulli has become one of the most influential artists to come out of the international dance scene in several years. With so many projects constantly in the works, Fanciulli stands out as a truly multitalented worldwide artist, with this perhaps being the key to his longevity in an increasingly fast-paced industry.
Fanciulli's kept up a big Ibiza presence over the years, becoming one of the most respected figures on the island. Following on from two successful years running 'La Familia' at infamous 5000 capacity outdoor venue Ushuaia alongside Joris Voorn, 2016 saw Nic embark on his first solo residency at the iconic Pacha. 'We Are The Night' saw the likes of Guy Gerber, Sasha, Bicep, Agoria, Matthew Dear and Tiga play at the club alongside Nic. Having conquered Ibiza, We Are The Night has also held parties in Croatia, Barcelona, Miami, New York and Mexico with many more to come. Aside from Nic's own projects, he's a regular of all the key parties on the island. He's been a headline guest at ANTS - Ushuaia's flagship underground party - since its inception, and also put in appearances at respected residencies Paradise, Guy Gerber's RUMORS, Circo Loco at DC10 and INSANE at Pacha over the last year alone. Most notably, he played a major part in the last season of one of Ibiza's best-loved clubs, Space; firstly, playing the closing of its longest-running party, Carl Cox's Revolution, and then proceeding to make history playing the final set at the club's last ever closing party, in an incendiary six hour back to back session with Carl himself.
As a producer, Nic has created a plethora of solo tracks that have received huge critical acclaim including a Grammy Nomination, in addition to unleashing a heady collection of memorable remixes, including his recent rework of Jamie xx's 'SeeSaw'. Nic is responsible for a high output of a sleek, intelligent yet driving strain of house and techno, and is famed for his compilation CDs, having completed mixes for Renaissance, Global Underground, Balance and Defected In the House as well as an incredible three Essential Mixes; he is now gearing up for the release of his highly anticipated debut album.
Nic's genuine desire to share music with others led to him founding what's gone on to be one of the UK's biggest house and techno labels, Saved Records. An important purveyor of international, underground house and techno, Saved has become a global brand, renowned for cutting-edge releases and standout events around the globe. Responsible for helping to break the careers of a diverse mix of producers, Saved Records has established Nic as a key tastemaker.
It's this continued desire to share his experiences that also led to Nic starting up his worldwide festival brand, The Social. Beginning life as a way of bringing world-class names to Maidestone, it's grown not only from a one day event to a three day festival, but will now also be branching out to hold parties in Mexico and Columbia for 2017 and looks set to continue growing.
Nic's journey to his current status has been an entirely organic one, born out of his genuine love for the scene and a desire to share this with others. His tireless work ethic has sees him continue to tour the globe relentlessly and expanding his many projects – 2017 is set to be yet another landmark year for the artist.
At an early age, when most kids are discovering video games and girls, German production wizard Frank Heinrich, aka Reboot, was creating tracks on the studio equipment that he purchased with his small savings. This precocious talent was nurtured by illicit nights out sneaking in to Sven Väth's Omen club in Frankfurt, Germany, where Reboot grew up.
Despite Reboot's early indoctrination into tough techno sounds, he draws from a variety musical influences. As a producer, his approach borrows sounds from all corners of the musical spectrum from classic house, world music, jazz, funk or R&B. Alongside friends like Chris Tietjen, Marc Scholl, and Markus Fix, he now spearheads "the new sound of Frankfurt". The result is what Reboot calls a "complex polyrhythmic architecture" and what dance floors call "dynamite".
Reboot has consistently evolved as an artist, without ever losing his initial rush of passion that pushed him out of his career in banking and into the arms of the electronic music industry. In a career that has ranged from early collaborations with Marco Delle, done as Delle & Heinrich, to his current incarnation as a widely demanded solo artist. He has released classic records on labels such as his own imprint Noon Records, on Cocoon, Defected, SeiEsDrum, Moon Harbour, Cadenza, Circus, Renaissance, Below, Cecille and many more.
His inquisitive musical nature pushed Reboot to constantly experiment with new sounds and rhythms. This has allowed him to develop into a compelling performer who feels equally at home behind the decks or playing live. Reboot's musical journey has spanned the world, traveling to temples of techno such as Womb (Tokyo), Fabric (London), and Cocoon (Frankfurt), in addition to more intimate settings such as Robert Johnson (Frankfurt) and Brazil's legendary D-Edge.
Reboot has joined the ranks of some of the most respected names in the techno realm, playing a pivitol role in Cocoon's Disco Invaders compilation and Cadenza's Æther. In 2009, he mixed the epic "From Frankfurt to Mannheim" compilation for Cecille Records. Some of his most celebrated tracks include "Be Tougher / Letters" (Candenza) and of course his probably biggest hit so far, "Caminando" (Sei es Drum).
In 2010, Reboot released his eagerly awaited debut artist album "Shunyata". This distillation of two decades immersed in music, "Shunyata" is the sound of an artist in full command of his medium, mingling intelligent and exotic sound structures with the propulsive, dance floor consciousness that has earned him fans across the globe. The word "shunyata" is rooted in Sanskrit and means emptiness, however, as thrilled audiences will agree, Reboot has redefined this word for the 21st century with a full and wholesome sound.
Following the success of "Shunyata" and his performances in Ibiza, Spain, he has carried his musical endeavors throughout the world at major festivals and nightclubs including the Stereosonic Festival (Australia), Winter Music conference (Miami, FL, USA), Electric Zoo (New York, USA), Zouk (Singapore), D-Edge (Brazil), Creamfields (Brazil), and practically every major club in Europe and a Mix Compilation alongside Pete Tong on Defected Records. 2013 kicked off with an extended tour of the United States which included performances at word-renowned venues such as Club Space Miami, Story, Nikki Beach Miami, and Delano. His summer 2013 tour primarily focuses on Europe.
Reboot's very own Rock N' Beats party at the Ushuaïa Tower (Ibiza), was launched in 2013 and works to integrate classic Rock and Roll with today's electronic music. Rock N' Beats is a reflection of how DJs now play the role of rock bands from days gone by. This event melted down different elements of music and brings the focus to other notable styles of music outside of the electronic music genre. The show hosted Rock and Roll legends like Marky Ramone (The Ramones), Rob Holiday (The Prodigy) or the Spanish guitar wizard Raimundo Amador alongside many others. "It's all about staying open-minded and finding new ways to present an electronic dance night", says Reboot.
The year 2013 also marks the beginning of Reboot's new company, Noon Artists, that he found together with his manager and business partner Carol M. Sepúlveda. The company includes artist management, booking agency as well as the very own record label, Noon-Records, which was launched in 2014.
Starting 2014 with the follow up of "Shunyata", the mini album "Deep_V", is released on Deep Vibe Recordings. For the Ibiza summer season, he joined "Insane" at Pacha Ibiza, for a summer residency alongside artists like John Digweed, Dennis Ferrer, Tensnake, MK and many more. For the growing South/Latin American market, Reboot and his team also decided to join forces with Carl Cox`s Safehouse management and pepared a extended Tour in countries like Peru, Chile and Colombia. In Febuary 2015 he played an explosive show along artists like Marco Carola at the Ultra festival in Buenos Aires.
2015 is all about producing and presenting new music, including his own productions as well as focusing on the work to develop the label NoonRecords. For that, the year 2015 kicked off strong with his first on EP on the Noon imprint called "Dry/Wet EP", followed by remixes for Guti's jazz orientated Rompecorazones project on Defected Records. To complete the successful start oft he year, he released a celebrated EP on Defected Records himself, including the smash hit "The Frenchie Thing" that went #1 on sales charts like Traxsource. Several other remixes, like for Francesco Tristano`s KST project on Get Physical Records and another EP on Dubfire`s SCI+TECH label are to follow.
Beside the massive output of new music and after a stunning launch of Noon first showcase during the Miami Music Week, Reboot is currently touring all of Europe, with the focus on the massive Ibiza summer season, including shows at any of the major clubs on the island like Space, Pacha and Amnesia. Whenever there is time, he is also working on music for the next Long-player, which is already wistfully awaited.
Reboot is a NOON Artists exclusive worldwide for management and a The Bullitt Agency for bookings worldwide.
Jade is an artist who has had the rare opportunity to be mentored by some of her biggest musical inspirations - a product of her environment in every sense, she has already found her place amongst some of today's most influential electronic music producers.
Although her love of music started at a young age, it was acts like Kruder & Dorfmeister, Thievery Corporation and Massive Attack that really encouraged her to explore the world of sound and melody. Her introduction to DJing came back in 2008 when a friend and mentor, DJ/producer Jonny White (Art Department) , invited her to play at a party for his now infamous label, no.19. Jonny White, having spotted Jade's musical potential, took her under his wing, guiding her through her exploration of and experimentation with electronic music from the very beginning.
Jade's potential, combined with hard work and a desire to evolve her talent, led her out from behind the decks and into the studio; there, she created a sound that was sexy, organic and all her own. Deep, dark, fat bass lines accompanied by solid hi hat patterns became part of a signature sound that she finally shared with the world in 2012 when she released her first record ("Try Again" - Jade (Canada) on none other than electronic label, no.19.
This has marked the beginning of what is sure to be a very exciting career for the Toronto native who continues to be motivated by music and inspired by producers who push the limits with innovative sounds.

Palm Coast Construction and Development Progress Reports
The following is an update of ongoing permitting, construction and development projects in Palm Coast, through March 9:
Road and Interstate Construction:
Moody Boat Launch to close April 6 through May 20 for improvements: Flagler County's Moody Boat Launch will be closed April 6 through May 20 for improvements. "The scheduled upgrade will enhance the launch's usability in a number of ways," said Heidi Petito, Director of General Services. "The new system provides for ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance, minimizes docking difficulties caused by fluctuating tides, and new lighting will promote boater safety and security." The closure includes the Moody Boat Launch– located at 825 Moody Lane in Flagler Beach– the parking area, restroom, and dockage on the Matanzas River. It does not affect Betty Steflik Preserve and boardwalk. The scope of work includes dredging 1,650 yards of silt from the launch basin, thus improving navigability. The adjacent wooden docks will be replaced with an aluminum floating dock and gangway system. Additionally, the existing restroom will be replaced with an ADA compliant facility. Moody Boat Launch provides public access to the Intracoastal on the east shore, just south of SR100. The closest alternative boat launches are located at Herschel King Park on the west side of the river at 1000 Grady Prather Jr. Cove, Palm Coast, and Bing's Landing on the east shore at 5862 N. Oceanshore Blvd. in Palm Coast.
Forest Grove Drive connection to Palm Harbor Parkway to be closed starting Dec. 18: Effective Friday, Dec. 18, the City of Palm Coast will be closing the Forest Grove Drive connection to Palm Harbor Parkway. This road closure is required as part of construction operations for the Palm Harbor Parkway extension, which is currently under construction. Palm Harbor is being realigned and extended to connect directly with Matanzas Woods Parkway where it intersects with Old Kings Road. Message boards will be placed to advise motorists and other travelers of the upcoming change, and a public meeting has already been held for residents living in that area. Both the Palm Harbor extension and a separate extension of Old Kings Road are being built in preparation for the new Interstate 95 interchange to open next June at Matanzas Woods Parkway. As part of the projects, traffic patterns around Matanzas High School will be changing. One goal is to turn Forest Grove Drive back into a residential street as it was originally intended to be. The upcoming road closure of the Forest Grove Drive connection to Palm Harbor Parkway is part of that project. Forest Grove will be turned into a cul de sac on that end. Once the separate Old Kings Road extension is completed, in June 2016, the Forest Grove Drive access to the high school will be closed because it will no longer be needed. Instead, motorists and other travelers will get to Matanzas High School via the new signalized intersection at Matanzas Woods, Palm Harbor and Old Kings. For more information, please contact Palm Coast Communications Manager Cindi Lane at 386-986-3708 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Project Proposal
Their can be seen great prosperity in mobile technology's incorporation into healthcare while also arising some difficulties that could halter mobile device implementations. With the introduction of wireless informatics some companies may take a step back from rushing to go mobile while other companies may see opportunity and certain payoffs associated with the risk.
For my project I would like to discuss the growing prevalence of mobile devices in the healthcare field with handling the every day workflow of information in a hospital. For this to be discussed I will cover the aspects of convenience for both the doctor and patient through the use of electronic medical records. To show the necessary daily requirements doctors and patients face with EMR technology I will implement the open source EMR application OpenEMR. In doing this I will create my own personal EMR and study the daily user cases that would be handled and discuss a guide to this application in a paper format.
I will present a basic user guide that will outline the main tasks handled in a electronic medical record system (OpenEMR).
Mobile Informatics Recent Implementations
"eMOCHA is a free open-source application, developed by the Johns Hopkins Center for Clinical Global Health Education. eMOCHA is designed to assist health programs in developing countries improve provider communication and education, as well as patient care, by coordinating wireless devices with local server-based clinical training and patient care support services."-Johns Hopkins Center for Clinical Global Health Education
