We're developing a recurring payment membership site. I have been studying Membership Plugin, and need some specific info on its current capacity:
1) Which payment gateways are currently supported for recurring payment?
2) One of the big issues in recurring payment is handling failed billings. Does Membership have any way of catching failed recurring payments so that we can run a script when that happens?
3) If Membership Plugin doesn't have any way of trapping for failed subscription payments it seems we might be able to trap via a notification post from the Gateway. Has anyone done this? We'd want to then run a script that sets a person's profile to blocked until their subscription is reestablished. Your thoughts on this?
Also, if anyone out there has developed along these lines, we would be interested in hiring your expertise in these regards.

The Crown Master – Dr Sameer Quraeshi
Dr Sameer Quraeshi is one the most renowned prosthodontists in Pakistan. Dr Quraeshi is a graduate of FJDC, Karachi and then went on to do his Masters' in Fixed Prosthodontics from the University of Manchester. He is known both nationally and internationally for his thirst for knowledge and professional development. During the course of the interview, Dr Quraeshi explains how the Clinical Masters' changed the course of his professional career.
Q. What made you do a masters' from the UK?
One should always keep alive the hunger for learning and development; this hunger has to be at the maximum level when you are young. I, after doing my BDS, wanted to learn more and do more. I started searching for available options and also consulted my seniors. Soon I found a direction which led me to an M.Sc. in fixed prosthetics from the University of Manchester.
I had set myself an aim to bring back something that we were lacking here in Pakistan.
Q. What difference did you see in the teaching system of Pakistan and the UK?
Well, firstly I would like to say that whatever I am today is because of my teachers. Pakistan has one of the best teachers in the world, but they are limited by resources.
In comparison, I would say that the whole approach is different, perhaps everything is different. The teachers and even the students are extremely professional and focused. You are set deadlines, and then it is for you to meet them. There is just no room to err; and perhaps this is what develops you as a strong professional. The teachers are very humble; you really don't realize the professional stature of a teacher when you first see them, but as soon as you go through their credentials – you simply get amazed.
I have felt that the teachers there have a hunger to teach, they want people to learn. Then again, it is for the student to learn. The more you desire, the more you will learn.
The curriculum is very different. There are several things that we see in books only, there you get to use them. There were several instances, when while in the UK, I was asked to use instruments that I had seen only in my text books. Today I make sure that I make my students use most of what I have learnt.
If I were to summarize it all in one word, I would say that the system in the UK simply opens up your mind.
Q. What were your inherent fears when applying for the program?
Well, there are some pre application fears like program acceptance, visa, travel and more; but I don't think that this is that big a problem. Most things usually fall in place automatically once you take the first step. The fears did also include the apprehension to leave my family and friends, but the world today is a global village. Today it is easier to travel and stay in touch with your family than ever before.
Then, I had cultural fears. How fit would I be in the University? How easy would it be for me to communicate? How much study strain would I take upon myself? Will I go through the program? How will the program help me professionally? How much do I need to learn, and how? How can I make the most of my time?
Well, these are just what goes through every student who is going to study abroad. The positive thing is that to address the above mentioned, Universities have an orientation program. The orientation may last up to a week. During this time, the University makes sure that the student is made comfortable with the environment, schedules, routines and most of all – people. The program at Manchester was excellent.
Q. Why do you think is it important for professionals from Pakistan to get foreign education?
We are ambassadors of our country. We are being observed for everything that we do, how we do and what we do. It is essential that good professionals for Pakistan go and study at foreign universities; and there they must act as country ambassadors. It is important that we play our part to change the global perception about Pakistan.
Here I would relate an interesting question that I was asked whilst my stay in Manchester; "Do you work in tents back in Pakistan, Sameer?"
You would expect that the person couldn't have been serious while asking this question, sadly he was. This is the perception that the world has about us; and it is time that we play our part to change it.
Q. What would be the best time for a student to plan a Masters' Program and how should they plan the finances?
That is truly for the student to evaluate. The student must assess carefully the field he wishes to pursue and then choose the subject of specialization.
Medical and Dental Education is expensive, and this applies globally; but I can assure you that every penny spent is worth it. I can also guarantee that you will recover your spending in terms of Professional growth, stature, respect and development. Students should look to broaden their horizons, only then can they excel in this competitive world.
Q. What would your advice be to the youngsters who wish to be the next crown master?
Horizons will always be limited until you put an effort together to raise the bar. Set yourself challenges, and then challenge yourself to achieve those challenges. Look for a better future and aim for a Master's program that could take you to newer levels. You must be abreast with the latest technology and practice of your time. Keep looking to upgrade and keep looking for a change. Ask Allah to help you achieve your goals, and work with utmost sincerity – you will be successful!

Spider Shelter
Ordered by Trull Parish Council, as a key feature of the local park development, the Spider Shelter is primarily aimed as a youth or teen shelter. However, its audience will likely be much broader than that, with the whole community using it as it's located next to a well-used, easy-going path and opposite the village pavilion and primary school.
Youth shelters seem to stir up mixed feelings in the local population wherever they are sited and this one was no exception. A range of opinions was voiced during installation, but mostly positive.
As with all of their sculptural youth shelters, Handspring tries to provide a fun, interesting, durable and safe place to hang out, which offers a multitude of seating and play possibilities – inside and out. Rain-protected, but not totally weather-proofed, the shelter provides through-views for the safety of those using it and those passing by.
The structure is primarily made from Douglas Fir, with oak used for the seating and at the top (spider web slats). The central column is one 3m-tall stem which Handspring turned into a tapered octagon using a chainsaw mill. Galvanised steel 200 x 100mm box sections have been used for the knuckles, feet and column connections and galvanised sheet steel was used for the roof and cladding around the seating. All steelwork was supplied by Tyree Fabrications. A local contractor put in the concrete foundations and will lay the final surfacing.

As of 1st September 2014, Information Services is being delivered through two new separate divisions, IT Services and the University Library.
Over the past 4 years, Information Services has delivered infrastructure and new services that have made significant improvements to both the student experience and research activities at the university. Some examples of these initiatives were the upgrade of the UWA network, the new Institutional Research Data Store (IRDS), improved student access to IT facilities such as printing and data storage across campus, and the rollout of a new service model for student IT support.
Continued growth and evolution of the library and IT areas, realignment within the Education portfolio, and the university's future directions have resulted in the decision to operate as separate areas, both reporting into the DVC (Education).
We will continue to provide information and updates about the divisional change on this website.

Tycho has released the new song "Japan." And an instrumental only version as well.
"I had just returned from spending some time in Hakone, Japan with my wife's Japanese relatives," says Tycho's Scott Hansen. "I was thinking a lot about the kinds of electronic music instruments I had been using when I first started making music in the late '90s. With 'Japan,' I was trying to recapture a part of that sound and combine it with the imagery and experiences from my trip to Hakone. I sent the song to Hannah with nothing more than the title of 'Japan' and she wrote all of the lyrics."
"Similar to 'Pink & Blue,' the instrumental versions are not just the songs with vocals muted, they are different arrangements with different instrumentation and melodies in place of the vocals," Hansen adds. I wanted to explore the idea of approaching songs from two entirely different perspectives."
Tycho is also releasing a companion video to the song. The clip was directed by Charles Bergquist (who also collaborated with Hansen on the video for "Ascension"), and filmed in the historic San Francisco neighborhood, Japantown.
The follow-up to 2016's chart-topping, GRAMMY® Award-nominated EPOCH, WEATHER's street date announcement was celebrated by the arrival of the second song from the album, "Pink & Blue," also featuring vocals by Saint Sinner. Both "Japan" and "Pink & Blue" are available now at all DSPs and streaming services following their exclusive "World Record" and "World First" premieres, respectively, on Apple Music's Beats 1.
"'Pink & Blue' is a proper pop song, and a good one at that," says Stereogum. "Like 'Easy,' it features vocals from Saint Sinner, the singer born Hannah Cottrell. But this time, rather than merely adding atmospheric coos to Tycho's electro-organic textures, she's breathily intoning lovesick lyrics…Matched with a gently thwacking beat that calls back to early dubstep and eventually ambient synth-pop…"

Scientists discover a 'new Lyme disease' from tick bites
About the author:
About the author:
A new tick-born disease is starting to make its way around the world
Nine cases of the new disease have been identified, including three in the Swedish city of Gothenburg. All of the people affected had the bacterium, Neoehrlichia mikurensis, in their blood. The bacterium, identified on the Japanese island of Mikura in 2004, is found in ticks and rodents.
It tends to be caught in the summer months when the ticks are active, although it cannot be passed between humans.
The first case, involving a 77-year-old man, was identified in Sweden in 2009 after he received emergency treatment for DVT. He had been kayaking in Sweden when he developed the infection.
Since then, eight other cases have been confirmed around the world. DVT seems to be the most common symptom, especially in people whose immune system is already compromised.

There are three types of cartilage in connective tissue. The most common kind of cartilage is hyaline cartilage. It contains a semisolid matrix, collagenous fibers, and chondrocytes (cartilage cells). The end of the nose is pliable due to hyaline cartilage. Fibrocartilage is like hyaline cartilage, having the same components, but there are more collagenous fibers in fibrocartilage. It is found in areas where there is more stress, such as the joint between the bones of the thigh and leg. Elastic cartilage has a matrix, chondrocytes, and elastic fibers. These fibers make the cartilage more bendable than hyaline cartilage. Label and color the cells and fibers of cartilage and use a light color to shade the matrix such as a pale pink or blue.
Answer Key: a. Matrix, b. Chondrocytes, c. Hyaline cartilage, d. Collagenous fibers, e. Fibrocartilage, f. Elastic fibers, g. Elastic cartilage

"What do you do when you write down all your secrets? No…that's not enough. What do you do when you write down all your secrets and the one person who should never read them does?
I'll tell you what you do.
You hope."
Ren didn't know the meaning of love until he took Della for his own.
To begin with he hated her, but as the months bled into years, he learned the opposite of hate, dedicating his life to giving her everything.
Every sacrifice, every gift, he gave wholeheartedly.
But then love turned to lust and ruined everything.
I was stupid to write my secrets down, but I'd been stupid before so it was nothing new.
I couldn't blame him, hate him, fix him.
I tried to move on without him.
But no matter what I did, I couldn't seem to delete the secrets I'd written.
Until something happened.
Until he came back and read my stupid secrets.
And nothing was the same after that.

"What do you do when you meet your soul mate? No wait…that's too easy. What do you do when you meet your soul mate and have to spend a lifetime loving him in secret?
I'll tell you what you do.
You lie."
Ren was eight when he learned that love doesn't exist—that the one person who was supposed to adore him only cared how much he was worth.
His mother sold him and for two years, he lived in terror.
But then…he ran.
He thought he'd run on his own. Turned out, he took something of theirs by accident and it became the one thing he never wanted and the only thing he ever needed.
I was young when I fell in love with him, when he switched from my world to my everything.
My parents bought him for cheap labour, just like they had with many other kids, and he had the scars to prove it.
At the start, he hated me, and I could understand why.
For years he was my worst enemy, fiercest protector, and dearest friend.
But by the end…he loved me.
The only problem was, he loved me in an entirely different way to the way I loved him.
And slowly, my secret drove us apart.

I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
2 Timothy 3:1-5
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

When Is Meditation Non-Meditation?
The dharma path is nothing other than working with your own mind. In Buddhism, one of our most powerful tools for working with the mind is meditation. Meditation is about seeing who you are, seeing your mind, through which you can discover your mind's nature. — by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche

Good sports films inspire kids to feel dedication, the desire for victory, and teach them the essential life lessons and skills. Check out these 12 inspiring, compassionate and lively-feel great movies - your athlete will love them!
Full Out (2016)
A gymnast comes back from a devastating injury with the help of her inspiring coach in this film based on a true story. Ariana Berlin (Ana Golja), a teenage gymnast and hip-hop dancer, is involved in a serious car accident that threatens to derail her career.

Dangal (2016)
Dangal ('Wrestling') revolves around the extraordinary life of Mahavir Singh, an ex-wrestler who is forced to give up his dreams of winning gold for India in international wrestling due to lack of financial support. When his eldest daughter Geeta, aged 14 and his second daughter Babita, aged 12, bash up a group of boys from the neighborhood during an eve-teasing incident, Mahavir realizes his girls have the same talent he was born with. With hope restored, Mahavir relentlessly pursues his goal of transforming his daughters into world-class wrestlers.
Nadia (1984)
This made-for-television biopic tells the story of phenomenal Rumanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci, a little girl who blew away the judges at the 1976 Summer Olympics by getting an unprecedented series of six perfect scores. Unfortunately, though the games were a dream come true, her subsequent life was a nightmare that culminated in a suicide attempt. Fortunately that was Nadia's lowest point and she was able to make a comeback in time to have a happy ending.
Billy Elliot (2000)
The life of a miner's son in Northern England is forever changed one day when he stumbles upon a ballet class on his way to boxing lessons. Joining the class and keeping it a secret from his widowed father and overbearing brother, 11-year-old Billy finds himself in dance, demonstrating the kind of raw talent seldom seen by the class's exacting instructor, Mrs. Wilkinson. She encourages him to try out for the Royal Ballet. But when his father and brother find out and forbid him to continue, Billy is torn between his responsibility to his family and to the gift with which he has been blessed. His overwhelming desire to dance has become much more to him that simply a means of self-expression. It is his passion and it is his destiny.
Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993)
Searching for Bobby Fischer was inspired by the life of chess prodigy Josh Waitzkin, as written by his father Fred Waitzkin. Josh (Max Pomeranc) is a "regular kid" who begins evincing signs of being a genius at chess. His father (Joe Mantegna) encourages this, hoping that it won't fundamentally change his son's healthy outlook on life. But Josh is taken under the wing of cold-blooded chess instructor Bruce Pandolfini (Ben Kingsley), who indoctrinates the boy in the "Bobby Fischer" strategy. Unfortunately, Pandolfini emphasizes all of Fischer's negative traits, especially his contempt for his opponents. Josh is in danger throughout the film of sacrificing his essential decency, but in a rousing conclusion, the boy is able to successfully blend ruthless competition with good sportsmanship.
The Blind Side (2009)
The storyline features Michael Oher, an offensive lineman who was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens of the NFL. The film follows Oher from his impoverished upbringing, through his years at Wingate Christian School (a fictional representation of Briarcrest Christian School in Memphis, Tennessee), his adoption by Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, to his position as one of the most highly coveted prospects in college football, then finally becoming a first-round pick of the Ravens.
Soul Surfer (2011)
Bethany (Anna Sophia Robb) was born to surf. A natural talent who took to the waves at a young age, she was leading an idyllic life on Kauai, participating in national surf competitions with her best friend Alana (Lorraine Nicholson), when everything changed.

Soul Surfer reveals Bethany's fight to recover from her ordeal and how she grappled with the question of her future.

A cruel classmate and kung fu prodigy Cheng harasses and humiliates the young outsider in front of the entire school. With no one to turn to for help, Dre confides his fears in kindly maintenance man Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), a kung fu master who knows that serenity and maturity -- not punches and power -- are the true keys to mastering the martial arts.
Perfect Body (1997)
Douglas Barr's drama Perfect Body stars Amy Jo Johnson as an aspiring Olympic gymnast named Andie Burton.

Andie becomes so obsessed with losing weight that her life becomes endangered by her own behavior. The film features Olympian Cathy Rigby.
Bend it Like Beckham (2003)
An Indian family in London tries to raise their soccer-playing daughter in a traditional way. Unlike her traditional older sister, Pinky, who is preparing for a lavish Indian wedding and a lifetime of cooking the perfect chapati, Jess dreams of playing soccer professionally, like her hero David Beckham. Wholeheartedly against Jess' unorthodox ambition, her parents eventually reveal that their reservations have more to do with protecting her, than with holding her back. When Jess is forced to make a choice between tradition and her beloved sport, her family must decide whether to let her chase her dream--and a soccer ball--or follow a more orthodox path.
The Mighty Ducks (1992)
After a Minneapolis lawyer (Emilio Estevez) is sentenced to community service for a drunk-driving conviction, he begins coaching a pee-wee league hockey team made up of misfits and delinquents. Haunted by past shortcomings while on the ice, he tries to coach teamwork on the way to the cup. A big box-office success, The Mighty Ducks eventually spawned a series of sequels during the rest of the '90s.
Rookie of the Year (2002)
Rookie of the Year is a light-hearted comedy about a 12-year-old baseball fan who, despite his love for the sport, can't play the game at all. During one Little League contest, he breaks his arm. After it heals, it miraculously becomes a super-human arm that can out-pitch any player in the major leagues. The boy joins the Chicago Cubs and helps lead them to the World Series. Though the plot is silly and contrived, it's a pleasant film that is ideal for young sports fans.

Did the City of Glen Rose act properly in moving funds from the Glen Rose Economic Development Corp.�s account to pay for maintenance and operations at Oakdale Park?
That�s the $100,000 question.
The Glen Rose City Council decided Monday night to get a second opinion to resolve the matter once and for all. It plans to ask the state�s highest legal authority, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, for his interpretation of the law concerning so-called 4B corporations, boards that oversee the spending of 4B funds. Those monies come from a portion of sales tax revenues returned to cities for economic development projects.
The dispute goes back to 2009 when the GREDC board supposedly authorized the city to move the $100,000 from its pot to the city�s to pay for operations and equipment at Oakdale Park.
But, as an independent audit of the GREDC last September pointed out, board minutes for at least 10 meetings � including the one in question � were not found.
�Without the minutes, we were unable to verify that the Board authorized several material expenditures, including $100,000 to the City of Glen Rose,� the audit firm, Willsher & Associates, PLLC, stated in its report.
The audit also turned up an �inadequate system of internal controls.�
GREDC Chairman Jimmy Gosdin, who inherited the problem when he took the helm of the board earlier this year, told the Glen Rose City Council Monday night that he just wants to get the matter settled and the GREDC�s books in order.
�We just want to do what�s legal,� Gosdin said. �We need to get an opinion from the Attorney General. We don�t want to spend attorney fees on it.�
Mayor Jean King said the city can account for the expenditure of the funds in question.
But Gosdin said his understanding of the purpose of 4B funds is that they are not supposed to be used for maintenance and operations. In the case of the city�s purchase of Oakdale Park, the funds were to be used for debt service, he said.
�The criteria for us set by the government was that we were only to fund the debt� when the city purchased Oakdale Park, Gosdin said.
�So we need to contact the state,� King said.
�We�ve had enough muddling of the funds,� Gosdin replied. �We want it clearly stated from here on out what�s right and wrong.�
Mayor Pro Tem Bob Stricklin said he thought �we had a legal interpretation that that was kosher,� referring to transferring the GREDC funds for maintenance and operations at Oakdale Park.
�The board voted to pay for the purchase of Oakdale only,� Gosdin said. �No equipment or maintenance. That�s the way it�s stated in the state mandate. So the question is what we can do to legally continue it. We just want the books to be cleared up legally.
�It�s city council money,� he added. �It�s city money.�
City Secretary Peggy Busch, who was not present Monday night, has said in the past that the city�s auditor, Cliff May, whose family sold the park to the city, felt that the $100,000 was a �budgeted item.� She said the city�s financial advisor, Jim Sabonis, also said the money could be used for operational expenses.
Sabonis, who was present at the council meeting to speak on another matter, said he understanding was that 4B monies could support operations and that�s the way the 4B funds were approved by voters.
�My remembrance of the situation is there was some flexibility,� he said. �I thought we built in flexibility to fund the assets.�
City Council member Sandra Ramsay moved to have City Attorney Andrew Lucas draft a letter to the AG, signed by all council and 4B members, asking to clear up the question. Councilman Dennis Moore seconded the motion.
The vote was unanimous in favor. Council member Sue Oldenburg abstained since she was serving on the GREDC board when the disbursement occurred.

US piles pressure on Athens as Greek crisis roils markets
[WASHINGTON] The United States piled pressure on Greece Friday to agree to key reforms to obtain new EU financing, but equity markets sank in fear that Athens is headed for default.
Stepping into the latest European financial crisis, both President Barack Obama and Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said Greece needs to reach a deal that will get it $7.2 billion euros (US$7.8 billion) more in bailout financing from the European Union.
Mr Lew warned in discussions with Eurogroup President and Netherlands Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem that no agreement between the two sides "would create immediate hardship for Greece, and uncertainties for Europe and the global economy more broadly," the Treasury said.
Mr Lew told Mr Dijsselbloem that "Time is of the essence for Greece to agree to a comprehensive set of reforms," the Treasury said.
Mr Obama more directly called on Athens to accept the requirements that EU negotiators insist upon before releasing any more funds from the massive financial rescue programme.
"Greece needs to initiate reforms," Mr Obama said at a joint press conference with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi at the White House.
"They have to collect taxes. They have to reduce their bureaucracy, (institute) more flexible labour practices," he said.
The comments came as the Greek debt drama drew heavy attention during the high-powered spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Washington.
Greece is under pressure to reach a tentative deal with its creditors by the April 24 meeting in Riga, Latvia of the Eurogroup, the EU finance ministers.
But the country needs the added financing in place by early May when it has to make a huge debt repayment to the IMF, and after that to the European Central Bank.
If it cannot come up with the funds, fears are that a default could force it to quit the euro area, an unprecedented move that could spark more turmoil in financial markets.
Greek negotiators are to meet Saturday in Brussels with representatives of the European Union, the European Central Bank and the IMF to continue talks.
But the downturn in US and European equity markets on Friday show investors are deeply worried that a deal won't be struck.
In New York, the S&P 500 index lost 1.1 per cent, and in Europe Germany's Dax 30 fell 2.6 per cent and the CAC 40 in Paris lose 1.6 per cent.
"Another day brings another story about Greece, and once again the inability of the Greek finance minister to employ a light touch has spooked markets," said IG analyst Alastair McCaig.
"Bond markets, normally immune to the volatility that equities frequent, have seen Greek yields skyrocket as the chances of them defaulting grow ever more likely." Greece's leftist government has balked at implementing what it sees as more growth-sapping austerity policies, and so far has been unable to find a compromise with its EU-IMF creditors.
Speaking in Washington on Thursday, Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis said the country was committed to staying in the eurozone. But, he added, they would not accept more austerity conditions.
"We've tried that medicine but it hasn't worked," he said.
"We will compromise, we will compromise and we will compromise in order to come to a speedy agreement, but we are not going to be compromised." While others, including Economic Affairs Commissioner Pierre Moscovici, voiced confidence that a deal keeping Greece in the single-currency area would be reached, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaueble expressed doubts that an agreement was close.
"There is nothing new. And I'm not sure that there will be anything new in Riga next week," he told journalists in Washington.

Introduction: Simple and Cheap Acetone Smoothing
This is an instructable to do Acetone smoothing of 3d prints in a simple manner that works and is relatively cheap and simple without heating and being able to judge how its gone so far.
I have previously tried putting the print above a pool of acetone and letting it passively vapourise, but the vapours never seemed to go very far up inside and the print would come out half smoothed. So I went looking for another way. I didnt really want to heat the Acetone due to the nastiness of the product and just wanted something simple.
I saw somewhere along the lines (and cant find it anymore) where someone put a layer of tissue around the inside of a can, to allow the flow of acetone vapours, which are heavier then air, to form and flow down to the print. I tried this and it worked fairly well, though was hard to work out how it was going due to not being able to see. After much trial and error, I came up with the glass vase method.
Items needed:
Glass vase with narrow waist - $6 Au
Acetone - $10 au
Cheap Glass Chopping Board or two - $2 Au each
Tissues or similar absorbent paper - Free?
Syringe and Tube (optional) - $4 Au for the tube from a pet shop, $2 Au for the syringe from a chemist
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: The Vase
To find the vase, I went to a homewares type shop. One of those shops that has lots of stuff to strategically place around the house that do nothing functional and look pretty.
Find a vase you like, then flip it over in the shop and make sure that the top is ground down level, some are better then others, even amongst the same batch. Once you have one you like purchase it and bugger off home.
Mine was about $6 Au.
Step 2: Pack the Dispersion Material
ie. Push a bunch of tissues or similar material into the bottom. The waist shape of the vase holds it all in place quite nicely. There shouldnt be any need to replace this anytime soon. The stuff I have has been in there for quite a while now and shows no signs of deterioration.
Step 3: Spacing
Put your parts to be smoothed on the glass chopping board, and space them so that they are not touching each other, yet still fit under the vase.
Step 4: The Acetone
Any form of Acetone will do, I bought it in a 1 Litre bottle as not much is required.
I also got a 25ml syringe with a piece of tubing that had a 4ml interior diameter from a pet store (used for air lines on fish tanks) so that I could accurately use a small amount each time. The hose and syringe is also quite useful for filling up nail polish bottles!
I use a whole syringe of acetone per run and it seems to work quite well, feel free to change the amounts to suit.
Squirt the acetone all around on the tissue, and flip the vase over and place on top of the items. I pump the syringe a few times to clear any leftover acetone and then pull it apart to dry. It hasnt melted yet!
Let it sit until you are happy with the level of detail still left on the model. Once done, simply take the vase away and leave the chopping board somewhere to dry.The time will depend on the ambient air temp. The above took about an hour due to winter kicking in here (Northern Australia) and it being early evening. It was down to about 17 degrees Celsius. Normally I do it during the day and it only takes 20-30 mins. Adding some warmth would of course decrease the time required, but this is simple and easy method!

Its a wrap...
Max is still doing wonderful and continues to make excellent progress in school. His immediate relationships have improved drastically and the stress level in the house has dropped. Now that he is in control of himself we can work on reward systems. (before recently this would have never worked... he hadn't the impulse control to care about the consequences). I have started a marble jar for him. Each day that he does well and shows intention to do well..he gets marbles for his jar. When he does things to intentionally defy the rules...he gets marbles taken out of his jar. After the goal is met.. he will get to go and play games at a local arcade for 2 hours. This was his choice and is very excited about doing well.

total bday weekend...my journey with Crohns treatment week 5
prednisone... although I haven't had abdominal pain or problems since week 3 (praise the lord).. the side effects are not pretty. Some side effects I have been experiencing are ... mood swings, extreme night sweats, increased appetite, swelling of my face and feet, sleeplessness, palpitations, hot flashes...did I mention mood swings...dry skin...mood swings... and most recently i've noticed the skin on my feet is so paper thin that i have tear and stretch marks on the tops of them... freaky!! Anyway.. this is supposed to be my last week on the roids... I started 10mg of prednisone yesterday.. and Im disappointed that i've started to feel pain and swelling in my joints again. I've also started an oral medication called Lialda..which is supposed to take over the steroids.. but I don't think this is going to work since im feeling the flair up again.

Wacky Weekends
Untitled-1, originally uploaded by RGonzalezPHOTOGRAPHY.
Mornings are pretty early for me right now.. still adjusting to getting up at 6am everymorning to get Max ready and off to school. The plus side to this is the little bit of quiet lull time between when Max leaves for school and when the girls get up. Coffee, email, SHOWER.... did I mention ...SHOWER?? This morning I got Katy up with me and we made homemade gingerbread cookies for her preschool class. The house smells devine....much like its occupated by a mother who normally does these kinds of things.. LOL!! (IE: baking at 6am in the morning) .. no seriously I've really enjoyed spending that one on one time with Katy. She has really started to become my big helper.
This weekend is a full one... two photoshoots each day this weekend.. including a trip to NJ (for photos)...its a long day in the car (10 hours) but I will be nice to change the scenery a bit. AND I get to meet a blogging friend Danielle and her sweet family on the way home!!
Day 3 on Max's new meds... doing better with the side effects. No belly pain and yesterday he ate more than he did the first day. Still positive words back from his teacher.. and he is still very excited to return to school. Slightly agitated around 4-6.. not half as bad as he was the first day.
off to get Katy dressed.. hugs everyone!

Max and ADHD
I've previously mentioned struggles with my 5 year old son Max. God bless him he was cursed with the family's ADHD predisposition. For years I've been struggling to help him with diet changes, positive discipline methods... routine stability... and sometimes just plain ignoring the behavior. I didn't realize how much he struggled with this until family intervened and I could see him in a social setting with his other peers. It was then pretty obvious that no amount of preservative and dye removal from his diet..vitamin B... or encouragement was going to help this child who clearly has a chemical imbalance. I've struggled with the idea of giving my child an adhd medication. Knowing that doing so would pretty much be a school age commitment.. as I too was on ADHD meds for most of my young life. (but as a child with a diagnosed adhd chemical imbalance.. meds were the right answer for me and I believe I survived the rigors of school, home and social aspects of life because of the meds that were prescribed for my childhood adhd)
I agree that many children are thrown onto the medications because it seems like the simplest and easiest answer to handling an overactive or unruly child. When many times the best course of action should have been..diet, routine, environment or parenting changes. I can honestly say that i've done my best over the last 36 months in all aspects and attempts and improving Max's quality of life outside of medicinal changes. With that said....
After many days of Max being singled out at school.. and the obvious and difficult frustrations Max is facing at home we have finally decided to proceed with Medicinal treatments. Max started an ADHD medication called Vyvanse yesterday and before the teacher even had a chance to read my letter to her informing her of the new treatment plan for Max.. I received a phone call from a VERY pleased teacher about how well Max was doing at school yesterday!! She stated that he was calmer, organized, followed directions easily and quickly (in the past its taken us up to 10 times more often than not to get Max to do Simple tasks such as put your shoes on or brush your teeth) Max came home from school a little irritable.. and with a belly ache (poss. side effect of meds) but overall happier about school and excited to return the next day. (never has he wanted to be at school until now).
this morning he woke up quickly and eager to get ready to start his day... in the past it was a battle to get him moving and out of bed. Over all I'm seeing very positive results!!! I am a tad concerned about the immediate side effects:
late afternoon crankiness
stomach upset
NO appetite
tough time going to bed
Hopefully we can work thru these. Anyone else have experiences with a young child being treated with meds for ADHD?

salad dressing or facial cleanser?
Anyway, 10 years later I've come full circle... oil is now becoming my friend... as my skin has matured I'm starting to crave a texture on my skin that can't be confused as a beach. And as I've become more environmental and health conscious naturally I look for a safe and healthy alternative to my usual over the counter chemical beauty regimen. I'm starting to take the philosophy that if I cant pronounce it my body probably doesn't need it. To be honest I cant remember where I first heard about using olive oil on my skin...but looking for an alternative to the dryness and texture problem Ive been having I went online and started researching. Now I'm sure you know that skins best friend is water... so there really isn't any better alternative to moisture than drinking the recommended amounts of water everyday. (something by the way i am terrible at remembering to do)... once you get the water in there... you add a surfactant to protect and smooth the skin...keeping the moisture in. Olive Oil is a fantastic surfactant...plus it has loads of antioxidants that help rid your skin cells of free radicals that cause environmental skin problems. Vinegar is a natural toner and cleanser..helping to rid your skin of harmful bacteria that hide in pores causing those nasty breakouts (skin infections). Sugar is a really excellent exfoliant removing dead skin cells, promoting circulation and regrowth of fresh new surface cells. I have been using this regimen for about a week now and I can see a dramatic difference in the texture of my skin... now if I can only remember to drink the water everyday and I'll be in good shape.

awsome couple of days...play area police

Earlier this year, the Pentagon changed the rules for troops who want to transfer their Post-9/11
GI Bill benefits to their dependents. Most notably, the new policy will end transfers for service members who have been in uniform longer than 16 years, starting in July 2019.
It also immediately put an end to previous exceptions that have allowed certain service members with more than 10 years in uniform to transfer the benefit without committing to serve four more years, including those who were unable to continue serving because of mandatory retirement or high-year tenure. Defense Department officials have said the changes are "to more closely align the transferability benefit with its purpose as a recruiting and retention incentive.
"With these updates, the department addresses the intent of Congress and ensures the benefit is available for future service members," said DoD spokeswoman Jessica Maxwell in an email. She said the policy change will impact about 9% of active-duty service members, National Guardsmen and reservists. The changes have been hotly contested by lawmakers and veteran advocates, and after pushback, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis announced in September that none of the changes would apply to wounded warriors. Active-duty troops who have earned a Purple Heart for wounds in combat are now allowed to transfer their Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to their family members whenever they want. But more recently, Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., has introduced legislation that would scrap the DoD's recent changes all together and open GI Bill transfer to veterans who did not have dependents while on active duty.
In July, the Pentagon announced a new, controversial GI Bill transfer policy for troops who want to pass on the benefit to their dependents, creating a lot of concern and confusion among service members, veterans and their families. So what, exactly, are the changes? And who is and is not affected? We take you back to the beginning. Meanwhile, long-serving troops who want to transfer their GI Bill benefits to a spouse or child should plan on doing so before the July deadline kicks in.
"We understand that it will take some time for service members and their families to decide on transferring benefits, so by giving them a one-year window, we believe it will give them ample time to gather information and make decisions," Maxwell said.

Just about everyone remembers the first time they heard about one of the biggest dance crazes in the history of the country. It wasn't "The Twist" and it certainly wasn't "The Flip Flop," but it will always be remembered as one of the most memorable song and dance crazes in the past century.
We're, of course, talking about that catchy dance craze, "The Macarena!" Back in 1995, this song took the world by storm and it seemed like just about every single person on the planet was going it. Along with its iconic and silly dance, these famous moves have been ingrained in everyone's head who was ever forced to learn it.
But over 20 years after its initial release, it seems that one woman has finally managed to teach her friend the T-Rex how to pull off this dance. Even though he has small arms, this guy finally learns how to do those iconic movements.
He does pretty well until the woman runs away and he chases after her! Eventually, she defends herself from the big guy and hits him on the nose!
Most experts agree that this isn't an actual dinosaur seeing as most of them have gone extinct, but we like to think that if he was a real T-Rex, he'd be loving this dance all the same!

With a total contribution of EUR 51.2 million (USD 58 million) to date, the Government of Germany is the largest contributor to the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) in Iraq and supports explosive hazard management and capacity enhancement initiatives to mitigate the threat posed by explosive hazards, thus enabling the provision and facilitation of humanitarian and stabilization activities.
"Removing explosive hazards is a key precondition for a safe return of IDPs and is therefore rightly at the heart of the stabilisation efforts in Iraq", said Dr. Cyrill Nunn, the German Ambassador in Iraq. "UNMAS and its implementing partners do crucial work in that regard, and we appreciate their close coordination with the Iraqi authorities. Germany is proud to support these efforts."
"It's been more than a year since the Iraqi Security Forces retook all areas from Da'esh control, and yet their presence continues to linger through the many explosive hazards that continue to permeate Iraq today.

by Cody Robert Judy, ©2015, blogging at CodyJudy
(Apr. 12, 2015) — Come, meet the Candidate and see what this Conservative Democrat has to say!
Cody's experience with the Democratic Party runs long and deep from his childhood. From the ranching and farming experience in Idaho Falls, Idaho where Cody was born to two professional horse trainers, Robert O. Judy and Ali Judy, who together built Sand Dune Stables, owning and operating the ranch and farming land of about 300 acres. Cody's folks were divorced when he was four and his father passed away in 2002 with his military service funeral sponsored from his service in the Army during the Vietnam War. Cody came from a vast rural and rugged experience, and moving with the horsemanship profession he has lived in many different States, collecting a wide range of life experiences from the East Coast of New Jersey to the middle plains of Ohio and Illinois to the West Coast in Idaho, Arizona, Utah and California. He recalls his step Dad, Glen Woodyatt, being the first Democrat he really knew, who his mother married when he was in the 4th grade. Enjoy this feature of Cody, past and progressive.
[See music video here]
Cody's political experience really began with a run in Utah's 1st Congressional District in 2002 and U.S. Senate Seat in 2004 with the Democratic Party which he has written kindly about in his book Taking A Stand. He also entered the Democratic Party Presidential Race in 2012, giving Barack Obama at least a semblance of a primary as he opposed Barack Obama's ineligibility as a candidate for President in the 'natural born Citizen' requirement of the Constitution which he has taken to the Supreme Court of the United States in two separate cases.
A Word from the 2016 U.S. Presidential Candidate Cody Robert Judy
"There were many Democrats opposed to my running in the party, but the greatest respect was realized within the party of inclusion and civil rights, when those you might expect to have more reason than any to dislike me took a stand and voted to let me run in the Utah Democratic Party. That was the only election I ever won. The 90% required to bar me from the party platform was defeated by many of the individuals who understood and knew the very real struggle of functioning in society as a minority when the majority is dishing up a lot of unconstitutional discrimination. It turned out to be a really wonderful and great healing experience which I think our Nation is really in need of right now."
"The Democratic Party in Utah gave me a chance to speak as a declared and Official Candidate and I hope that as the struggling Utah Democratic Party gave me that chance in Utah that the National Democratic Party will give me that same chance across the Nation in healthy Debates and a Primary: Not being afraid to hear the truth about the struggle of our Civil Rights and Constitution but having the Courage to embrace our weakness to make us stronger for America."
"This is after all One Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all I believe in. I see a great restoration that is needed in the struggle for the promise of justice for all in our courts, in our homes, in our work. The Deck has been stacked against the people with no standing and its been the back of the bus for them. As long as I do have standing and a voice I will proclaim and advocate for that precious backbone of America to be straightened. To rise up and take a stand, to shoulder the burdens fairly and assure the opportunity for all Americans!"
Cody has made a promise and a commitment to the Democratic Party of America.
The promise I make to the Democratic Party is one a President should be willing to make as it is included in the oath: To Preserve, Protect, and Defend the Constitution of the United States, and that if any unqualified Candidate like Sen. Ted Cruz or Sen. Marco Rubio should become the Republican Nominee that I will indeed take the same fight of eligibility to the Republicans that I have former Senator and President-Elect Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain. I plan on running as a Center Right Candidate to the former Secretary of State Candidate Hillary Clinton, where there is lots of room away from other Democratic Contenders who may appear on her left like former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley or Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Right now there is no defender of the Constitution's highest office. There is no one willing to take that fight on and preserve, protect, and defend the honor of the Office of the President. I declare I will do it, and whether I'm elected or not for the actions of defense I take, is not important as the fact someone is doing it that has standing."
"I've said it before: if there were only two Candidates to vote for – Hillary Clinton or an Ineligible Senator – I would choose Hillary Clinton if I was not in the race. She is a qualified candidate by the demands of our United States Constitution and I fully respect that as honoring our U.S. Constitution rather then preserving it for the megalomaniac-of-ego whose thanks to America is a slap at her face and a stomp on the document that is the umbrella of national security for our Country! It's not just a piece of paper former President Bush W; its the definition of the Offices you all have enjoyed and its not hard at all to understand why Born in the U.S. to Citizen Parents is a time-honored qualification and has been for the highest office of the land in our history of Presidents.
"I firmly believe that a return and restoration of principle will be met with a return on prosperity. Ask any businessman how important honoring the word or contract is and they will tell you it is vital to success and you can take that to the bank. The word in our Republic is Constitution."
"If language has become so scary to you that only the politically popular can utter sentences, I have no doubt the digression and even elimination of all of the defined offices within the United States Constitution will shortly appear on the horizon; including those of a lifetime tenure in the Supreme Court of the United States who think their chairs are secure. That's how important this is!"
"If we don't stand now we kneel as subjects soon and no one will have the simple rights of civility and Citizenship all because we polluted from the top down. When your head is sick, how well does your body function? The qualifications for the Office of the President is the keystone of our Republic and I hope there are a few Democrats out there who feel like I do, and will support my Candidacy, three point platform, and pass on the promise to our future."
"That America as a Republic has given us a good life and we would like to hand that down to our children and grandchildren. Those who have died on the battle fields for America have done so with a pledge to our Constitution in securing those rights for future posterity. They may not have had children but all of our children benefited from their sacrifices. I haven't been able to give my children very much either but I hope someday they understand how I fought for their opportunity to live their dreams and to see their dreams come true as I have seen mine. Truth will set us free. That truth that is real and you can count on as the laws of nature are true."
"My experience in understanding the importance of this is a judgement call that sets myself and other politicians clearly apart. I hope it shows you that were their experience is real their decisions and choices have been made, still they have not made the clear choices for principle and our prosperity is suffering for it. Every choice has a consequence and your support for the Candidate you choose will also have a consequence that is real. I can not tell you how to choose, but I can be a clear choice. This is how I feel I can best serve my Country at this time,in this vehicle, and the biggest reason I now announce my official candidacy for President of the United States of America in the race for President in the coming election of 2016 in the Democratic party."
"Thank you, God Bless you, and may God Bless America for the stand we are now willing to take."
"Cody Robert Judy
U.S. President 2016"

After the end of this week, there will be exactly four weeks left in the regular season. If you want to cash in your NBA bets before the playoffs, then keep reading.
Must Watch NBA Games March 4-10
Denver Nuggets at L.A. Lakers
When: Wednesday, Feb. 6 at 7:30 pm ET
Where: Staples Center, Los Angeles, CA
Analysis: Denver heads into the week off a 2-game losing streak. The Nuggets remain around four games ahead of the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Northwest Standings, though. Denver could get a reprieve this week facing the San Antonio Spurs on Monday and then the L.A. Lakers on Wednesday.
The Nuggets have gone 11-18 ATS in away games. However, the Lakers are 12-17-2 ATS at home, meaning that they should struggle to keep it close versus Denver on Wednesday night. L.A. has also gone 1-4 ATS in their last five overall.
The Nuggets are a terrific 4-1 ATS in their last five games not counting their last two before the week starts. Denver should get back onto the winning track both against the spread and on the moneyline.
Pick: Denver Nuggets
Denver Nuggets at Golden State Warriors
When: Friday, March 8 at 10:30 pm ET
Where: Oracle Arena, Oakland, CA
Analysis: On Friday, the Nuggets must take on the Warriors on the road. Golden State's only a game ahead of Denver for the best record in the Western Conference. Golden State has gone an awful (for them!) 2-3 SU in their last five before the week starts.
At home, the Warriors are a terrible team against the spread. Steph Curry and Co. have gone an awful 11-19-1 ATS in home games. They're 1-9 ATS in their last 10. Denver has a real shot of upsetting the Warriors on the moneyline. The Nuggets are definitely worth the play against the spread.
Pick: Denver Nuggets
Boston Celtics at L.A. Lakers
When: Saturday, March 9 at 8:30 pm ET
Where: Staples Center, Los Angeles, CA
Analysis: Boston versus Los Angeles used to be an essential rivalry. It still is to many NBA fans. On Saturday, ABC puts the rivalry in primetime. Neither team has been overly impressive in recent games.
The Celtics are an awful 1-5 SU in their last 6. They're only 2-4 ATS in those 6 games. The Lakers are a bad 1-4 SU in their last 5. Los Angeles has also gone 1-4 ATS in their last five games.
Who takes this? Los Angeles beat Boston 129-128 in the last head-to-head. All that means is that L.A.'s overplayed in this. Boston's the team to back against the spread.
Pick: Boston Celtics

Shabbat in the Desert

Just let us look at the farmer milking his cows, hospital staff or policemen.ReplyDelete
get goyim to do these jobs
And what about those Jews working on Shabbat in order to be able making a living ?
g-d commanded us to keep shabat and he will takecare of parnasa
One always has to look at the background and the circumstances, as, sometimes, life is not that easy.
rav moshe fienstien said the last generation was lost because people
said "its shver "tzu zayn a yid"
its difficult to be jewish.
You are totally right, and now comes the famous BUT !
There shouldn't be a but and only Torah but do you know how many people I have met in Israel who don't want to work on Shabbat but have to in order to keep their jobs and make a living.
Every one of them knows that it is up to G - d providing Parnassah but what if someone has to pay his bills and has no other source at the moment ? Sometimes reality is hard; meaning you may find yourself living in the street.
With all the best Bitachon, this may be even G - d's will and there may be a deeper reason behind it but who wants to live in the street ?
There are times when I do understand those people.
I went through Parashat Vayakel today and, right at the beginning, it speaks about keeping Shabbat. Our ancestors in the desert kept Shabbat and even refrained from building the Mishkan on that day. It is sad that today not every Jew is able of doing so.
