Coping With Lupus and Memory Loss
I decided I would write about lupus and memory loss for this post. I was excited, because this is something that is near to my heart and one of my week-to-week challenges.
I was totally ready to share something important and perhaps, just perhaps, make a difference to someone going through the same feelings, wondering if they were losing their mind and if they were the only one.
Then, as if on cue, I forgot to write it.
You may laugh, but I am certain many of my fellow warriors can relate. My memory has been at its very worst lately. I can't remember basic things and unless I have reminders written down all around me, I feel lost, frustrated, and at times, embarrassed.
I am a responsible, relatively intelligent person — a former reporter and newspaper editor. I used to have a mind like a steel trap. I remembered faces and stories and leads and deadlines. Heck, I remembered how to spell words rarely used and when it was appropriate to use a comma. We overuse them you know.
Well, I used to know, but now not so much.
The Things I Forget
With lupus affecting seemingly everything in my body and who I once was, I can look at instructions or a name or the correct way to spell a word, turn away from the page and it is gone. Vanished from my mind like I did not in fact just look it up.
I forget my PIN number to my bank card, my zip code, and most recently, even my own last name. Yes, I actually went up to the pharmacy counter last week to ask for my lupus medications, said my first name and then drew a blank.
My maiden named popped into my head, which makes no sense since it hasn't been that for 30 years. I panicked. Then my married name from my first husband popped into my head and I was even more panicked, and to be honest, slightly disgusted.
Then my remarried name, which has been mine for nine years, finally came to me and though I am sure it was only 20 or 30 seconds that I was stuck, it was enough pause that the pharmacist was looking at me questioning if I was who I said I was. Embarrassing!
It is moments like that, or when I am mid-sentence and I can't think of the words I need to say, that I really feel like lupus has robbed me of so much more than anyone knows. I mean, you can tell someone you are having memory issues and they say, "Oh I know, I forget things all the time lately."
But they mean they forget to pick up their dry cleaning or forget to buy milk on the way home. I mean I will be driving and suddenly not remember where my turn signal is or where I am going or how to get there.
I have actually had moments of complete panic while driving when I suddenly realize nothing looks familiar. Eventually, minutes later, something I see jogs my memory and it comes back to me, but it is the most frightening feeling until it all returns.
The fact is, lupus "brain fog" can make an important event on my calendar completely vanish from my memory. I don't mean believing it is scheduled on a different day, but vanished like it never existed. Much to my embarrassment, I have forgotten birthdays, doctor's appointments and even a family member's funeral.
I have been asked, "How could you forget this!?" and I don't have a great answer. Lupus robs you of dignity as well as the person you once were. I find myself trying to explain what even I don't fully understand.
Memory Loss Survival Tips
Since I know I am not alone, I thought I would share some lupus and memory loss survival basics with you.
- I write down every appointment and all my to-dos. I keep it all in one location. My monthly planner has every obligation or event written in it as soon as I know about it. If I wait to scribble it in, I stand a 50/50 chance it will not make it onto my calendar.
- Post-it notes supplement the monthly planner for immediate tasks that need my attention, items I need to get, and even who I must call (and when) each day. I might actually miss a call, interview, or deadline if it is hidden in my planner, so I put up little yellow flags to remind me. I use more sticky notes than any other human I know, except maybe my young son who either really likes to stick them on things or has watched me for too long and is mimicking my survival tactic. I create post-its for what I absolutely cannot forget to do or attend for the next 48 hours and I stick them where I will see them easily the next day.
- I leave my medication in its prescribed dose for the day out on the kitchen counter. I often will not remember if I did or did not take something, so the weekly containers that have little doors for each day of the week are my salvation.
- While shopping, I always have a list I have created and worked on, so it hopefully contains everything needed. If my kids are with me, I ask them to help me with their strong memory skills and don't let mommy forget the milk or yogurt or tomatoes, for example. I give them three or four items each to be in charge of remembering. They feel proud they helped and I can count on not forgetting the really important items.
- I have pickup times and locations for my children posted on my refrigerator like I might do for a babysitter.
- I set alarms on my phone or even the kitchen timer. I use them to remember conference calls I need to log into for work or when I need to leave in order to be on time for an appointment or work meeting.
- I ask for reminders. I have forgotten more doctor's appointments than I care to admit. I ask that they call me the day before to remind me. I also write a post-it and stick it on the coffee pot so I see it first thing and then I set an alarm either on my phone or the timer on the stove, so I remember to leave on time.
- I keep all medical information, list of medications, specialists' names and dates of when certain events/hospitalizations have occurred in my wallet. More than once I have been asked my history or a specialist name and my mind completely goes blank. I basically backup everything I should remember with a hard copy.
Finally, I try and cut myself some slack and realize I am not losing my mind, it is just part of this horrible disease. None of it is permanent — eventually the lupus fog clears and I remember. I am just denied access for a period of time.
I try and find little ways to hide it as much as I can from the outside world, but honestly, other people need to cut me some slack too. If it was cancer causing this, there would be sympathy and assistance offered.
I realize now that I deserve the respect of patience. I will remember eventually and I do not forget appointments or other important things on purpose.
Acceptance of this part of lupus is hard to find, even within yourself. Once you do, you work around it, work to hide it a bit and realize you are doing the best you can.

To start off my first write-up, I will cover one of the most common and basic asset class, Equity in the early stage, Private Equity.
Private Equity
The most common and basic investment asset class is Equity. Equity is being valued since the formation of a company. Private Equity as an industry, invests and grows private and unlisted companies. Because of today's environment and ease of creating a new business idea and company, the term "startup" today describes new businesses that have begun its operations. On top of this, there are claims that the new business ideas have to be innovative and new in any industry. However, companies have been built from scratch and grown over hundreds of years, where the big names are sitting on today's stock exchanges.
The primary reason private equity investment came about was the need to raise operational capital by companies. As companies grow in size, more capital is required for reasons such as expanding its operations, extending the market reach, fighting the competition, increasing their revenue, etc. It is common to see companies raise different rounds of capital investments over a period of time. Each round of funding from Venture Capitals and Private Equity firms are being termed as seed, series A, series B, and so forth. The size of funding are typically associated by the round of funding too.
Startups or businesses raise capital through angels, venture capitalists and private equity firms. Angels are typically funding through an individual coming from 3Fs (friends, family and fools), and High Network Individuals (HNWI). Beyond the capital injections from this group of investors, startups today are more particular on who became their shareholders and sits on their board. Capital is much more accessible today and it allows startups to shop for investors who can bring the most value. Ideally, they see investors who can help them grow the business through the investors' business network and experience to steer the startups strategy.
There are several variations to the investment agreements in exchange for the equity stake. Given how the private equity market has evolved since it began post-WWII period, transactions have went beyond a plain vanilla money agreement for equity. Variations were structured into agreements such as debt with equity convertible options, adding caps and floors to options, royalties and dividends payout with a cap, etc. The larger the equity deals, the greater the complexity as more stakeholders are involved.
There are many ways to value the companies and startups. In the early stage companies, it is more of an art. One of the reasons is that the companies typically are still in a conceptual stage with an unproven and new market. The success of fundraising depends on the ability of the startups to pitch the vision and concept of the business with an hypothesize market. This has resulted in startups evolving in programs like pre-accelerator, accelerator and incubators. Pre-accelerators and Accelerators are typically structured programs to groom startups to build fast and test out their concept. At the end of these programs, there will be a demo day where the startup graduates are given an opportunity to pitch to angels and seed investors. Incubators have a slightly different operational mechanism where startups work closely and hand in hand with their investors to grow the business. Once the startups are in a suitable or favorable position, they will be seeking to raise funds from larger VCs and PEs and scale up the business.
On the other hand, I see a more matured company with historical financials and an existing sales market, valuation is a mix of art and science. Valuation of the company is backed by existing financials to illustrate how much sales the company has generating and how has it been growing. The art in the valuation comes in projecting a vision of a higher valued company based on the company's strategy. The strategies whether it's traditional or innovative, they have to make sense to the investors. Once the startup can convince the future growth and potential to the investors, this is where a premium can be added to the valuation.
The private equity players are much more straightforward than other markets. On the surface we typically see two parties; the investor and the company.
The investors are made up of Angels, venture capitals(VCs) and private equity(PE) firms. A key thing to note that the VCs and PEs usually manage a fund that invest into the companies. The VCs and PEs often have to raise funds from the Limited Partnership(LPs). In some similar ways, the VCs and PEs have to raise money for their funds just like how startups have to raise capital. The LPs have typical make up of pension funds, insurance funds, institutional funds and very HNWI. It is quite common for the VCs and PEs to take a 1.5-2.5% annual management fees. This usually goes into supporting the yearly operational cost of the VCs and PEs including salary, office rental, hiring, etc. It is through the carried interest where VCs and PEs get their big returns. Typically, the VCs and PEs take 20% cut of the profits from the investments.
In a VC and PE setup, the typical mix of profiles in order of seniority; analyst, associates, principals/director and general partner/managing director. Analysts are usually the bottom rung of the ladder who has to prepare research and analysis, and any other administrative matters in order. This is typically the entry level position of VC and PE firms. Associates are the next career progression in line after analysts. Associates will gather more responsibility and involved in structuring the deals for the investment. Principals are one of the more senior positions where they have larger say to deals to invest. However, they would still require the nod given by the general partners who sits at the top of the chain. I see the General Partners as the figurehead of the fund. They are the don, the godfather who ultimately makes the final decision for the investment.
On the other end of the spectrum of the industry are the startups and companies who look to raise funds to invest into their company. During the process of fund raising, the companies could also be bought out and acquired by the PEs or corporations. This is considered rather aggressive as the original founders and management could be replaced. Striking the best deal requires the founders to prepare a negotiation tactic and develop the skill over time. Its a mix of charisma, diligence and wit. It takes time to understand the nature of the discussions and steering the conversations to ones advantage.
Private equity represents the first segment of investing in the financial world. It is the growth of the private equity industry and companies maturing that led to other forms of financial instruments such as loans, bonds, options, futures, etc. I hope to explain each of these markets and why they evolved over my blog in time.

Funny thing is, attitude IS everything. But learning to have a good attitude in the face of adversity is difficult - something else I hope to figure out as the months progress in this year called twenty-ten.
Wrapping up this day and the detox, I've come to a few conclusions:
- I'd rather just starve than eat bland chicken and beans again. My dinner consisted of a few bites of beans and I was over it. Now it's 8:11pm and that means I am done for the day and will just have to wait until morning. Make it come quick - this body needs some real food.
- I think I'd miss salt over sugar any day. Don't quote me on that, but what I'd do for a salty chip, taco or just some salt on my beans tonight.
- It's best to not attempt to train the pup when you are irritable. Poor thing.
- That dishes in the sink are more irritating when you're already irritated about other things.

Darren Shaw, founder of White Spark, is a leader in the Local SEO arena. Michael and Darren share ideas, along with tactical strategies that dealerships can deploy to increase rankings and local search prominence. Darren lists 5 high priority things dealers can do immediately to help dominate the web.
Noteworthy Topics from this Episode:
05:11 – Things that you do for a dentist or the same things you do for an auto dealer, it's the same work in local search.
05:26 – Citations – Why are they so important for a local business? Why are they so important to Google?
06:15 – Citations can be thought of as mentions of your business on the web and they are quite easy to create.
06:47 – The more places that your business information shows up online, the more prominent you look.
10:00 – What auto dealers should be doing is creating a separate Google business listing for each of their primary departments. Oil changes, auto repair, tire changes, service.
13:02 – The core of Google algorithm has not changed very much over time.
14:47 – Google basically wants to be the internet.
15:24 – Google is looking for businesses that are being actively engaged with by users. Recycle your content.
19:21 – Continue doing both Google My Business listing and Facebook, but don't put all your eggs in the Facebook basket. Take anything you're putting up on Facebook and stick it over on Google as well.
19:46 – Most Google posts expire after seven days. Product post stays forever.
21:24 – It's Google's world and you've kind of got to play by their rules.
24:41 – The prices of things and services in the auto industry are twice to four times as much as they are in every other industry.
27:57 – Always write really high-quality content for your website.
30:21 – Pro Tip: Mention the primary key phrase in your content, like four times. Mention the related phrases like two or three times each.
33:20 – It's not just about ranking positions, it's about ranking for search terms your ideal client is searching for.
36:32 – Make sure you fill out every single field in your Google Business Listing. Start adding your products and add lots of photos and videos on a regular basis.
38:22 – Don't just start pumping garbage content into your blog. Try to build out your make and model pages, about us pages, staff pages, pages about all your services and then you focus on your blog.
39:24 – The biggest S.E.O. strategy is in local sponsorships (brand awareness) and web link building.
Play By The Rules
Darren adds that Google wants to and is becoming "the internet". Google wants to provide the most relevant results to the users' search queries. That is why it is extremely important to follow Google's rules, practices and use all the tools that Google offers to feed that data Google needs to serve it's users and provide the most relevant search results.
With Customer In Mind
Darren says that although it is important to rank on Google, it is even more important to actually rank for the exact terms your potential customer will be searching for. Darren also shares his strategies on how to rank a website on Google, use Google My Business listings and create brand awareness with sponsorships.

Eight case studies where mobile marketing actually worked
Mobile marketing is still a developing industry and one that does suffer something of an image problem.
Taken purely in terms of clickthroughs and conversions mobile ads don't always deliver the best returns, so it's up to the mobile networks to continue improving ad units while also convincing marketers that it's not all about clicks.
To assist in this endeavour, I've rounded up eight case studies of mobile marketing campaigns that proved to be a success.
For more in-depth case studies, head over to our Case Study Database which is available to Econsultancy subscribers.

- Synopsis
The latest hardcover from #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel, Past Perfect is a spellbinding story of two families living a hundred years apart who come together in time in a startling moment, opening the door to rare friendship and major events in early-twentieth-century history.
Sybil and Blake Gregory have established a predictable, well-ordered Manhattan life—she as a cutting-edge design authority and museum consultant, he in high-tech investments—raising their teenagers Andrew and Caroline and six-year-old Charlie.
But everything changes when Blake is offered a dream job he can't resist as CEO of a start-up in San Francisco. He accepts it without consulting his wife and buys a magnificent, irresistibly underpriced historic Pacific Heights mansion as their new home. The past and present suddenly collide for them in the elegant mansion filled with tender memories and haunting portraits when an earthquake shocks them the night they arrive.
The original inhabitants appear for a few brief minutes. In the ensuing days, the Gregorys meet the large and lively family who lived there a century ago: distinguished Bertrand Butterfield and his gracious wife Gwyneth, their sons Josiah and little Magnus, daughters Bettina and Lucy, formidable Scottish matriarch Augusta and her eccentric brother Angus. All long since dead. All very much alive in spirit—and visible to the Gregorys and no one else. The two families are delighted to share elegant dinners and warm friendship. They have much to teach each other, as the Gregorys watch the past unfold while living their own modern-day lives.
Within these enchanted rooms, it is at once 1917 and a century later, where the Gregorys gratefully realize they have been given a perfect gift—beloved friends and the wisdom to shape their own future with grace from a fascinating past. Past Perfect is Danielle Steel at her bewitching best, a novel for the ages.

"Also Charles Tupper, died 1st December 1868, aged 64 years"
In 2018, I persuaded my father to give me a DNA sample to see if we could find a DNA match which might point to whether I am on the right path with Charles Tupper's parents.
Two DNA matches with Dad and a couple of other family members, indicates that Charles Tupper is the son of Thomas Tupper and Ann Poat. One DNA match leads back to his brother William and the other to his brother James.
Gosh, over 9 years since you first posted above on Charles, how good to get confirmation of your initial theory.
Hi Jill
I was over the moon - the lack of parents in the baptism record was a real brickwall. I am not sure that Dad truly appreciated what a break through the DNA matches were.
Just this week Ancestry posted DNA matches and Common Ancestors flags for them pointing to the TILL family, so I am chasing up Ann's family.
I also have one DNA match linking back to Thomas Harwood and Frances Bartlett, through their daughter Frances.
Sadly Dad passed away at 91, a few weeks ago - the last surviving grandchild of his grandparents. This week his nephew, my cousin, became a grandfather himself. Such is the circle of life.
I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your dad, a sad time for you, but congratulations for the new bud on the tree.
OH, (your distant cousin) has a DNA link to someone in the US who descends from Sarah Harwood, sister to your Thomas Harwood who married Frances Bartlett.

Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey – Preview of The Hunt For Jack the Ripper
London, Whitechapel, 1888 – a series of cruel murders shook the city. In the point-and-click adventure Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey by Salix Games, three heroes set out on the trail of one of the most notorious serial killers in history. We were allowed to play the first chapters and don't want to withhold our impressions from you. Note: We have tested a pre-release version. This is an unfinished version of the game, so we will not give you a final rating here.
The adventure begins in Norway. The immortal knight Sir Lancelot Du Lac and the cursed sorceress Morgana Le Fey fight demons that threaten humans. When Du Lac has a vision after an encounter with one of these monsters, the unequal duo travels to London. Arriving in the city, they soon learn of cruel murders that keep the population in suspense and meet Mary Jane Kelly, who is also looking for the murderer.
Personalities known from legends and history
The three protagonists are made up of mythical figures and historical personalities. Du Lac was once an honorable knight who defended the kingdom and its king with all his might. Meanwhile he travels with Fey through the country and kills demons and monsters. He keeps his knightly virtues, so he always appears polite and is always ready to help someone in need. Fey is the king's sister and was once a powerful sorceress until a curse forced her to take the form of a dog. At Du Lac's side, she fights monsters that threaten the innocent and searches for the person responsible for the curse.
Mary Jane Kelly, a young woman with a special gift, works as a day labourer and prostitute in London. She is horrified by the terrible murders and determined to stop the perpetrator before more suffering happens.

A robotic hand that restores* the sense of touch could soon be a reality.
Researchers are working on untangling the complex brain patterns needed to replicate natural hand actions and unlock the full potential of bionic limbs.
University of Chicago Associate Professor Sliman Bensmai, whose research has allowed a paralysed* man regain his sense of touch, told the Australasian Neuroscience Society Annual Scientific Meeting last week that they were making progress into reproducing dynamic hand actions.
He said he was hopeful the technology would one day allow amputees* and those paralysed from the neck down to not just control a limb with their mind, but to feel the pressure of someone else's hand in theirs, or master the different pressures needed to accurately grasp* lots of objects.
Australian surgeons led by The Alfred in Melbourne have conquered the first hurdle of limb bionics; fitting the first "mind-controlled" robotic arm to more than five amputees in the past year.
But Associate Prof Bensmai has gone a step further by figuring out the brain activity patterns that occur in animals when they reach, grasp and pick up objects.
This became the basis for the development of a computer interface that was surgically implanted in the brain of a 28-year-old man, completely paralysed following a car accident.
Electrodes* in his brain were connected to a robotic arm that sent sensory feedback from the brain to the hand, allowing him to tell the difference between touch on individual fingers and his palm.
"The hand is amazing and touch is a very complex thing," Associate Prof Bensmai said.
"Any time you touch an object you need to know that you're touching it, where you're touching it, and you need to know how much pressure you're exerting on it.
"Also if you reach towards a bunch of objects, your hand is pre-shaped very precisely to the shape of that object, long before you make contact with it. It's a very sophisticated system we're trying to create algorithms for."
Melbourne's Alan Newey, who lost his arm in a workplace accident 17 years ago, was the first Australian to undergo the targeted muscle reinveration surgery to realign nerves in his amputated arm to new target muscles.
Alan has mastered the grip function, allowing him to carry shopping and cook meals, and is now working on rotating his wrist.
"It's like you're becoming a whole person again," Mr Newey said.
"The more functions you regain, the less you need to rely on other people, and you get that sense of achievement back."
restores: Brings back to an original or normal condition
paralysed: partly or wholly incapable of movement
amputees: a person who has had a limb amputated (cut off)
grasp: a firm hold or grip
electrodes: a conductor through which electricity enters or leaves an object, substance, or region
Activity 1. Mind Games
Time: Allow 20 minutes.
Summarise the Kids News article on the new robotic hand being developed using the 5 W's. Write a detailed sentence for each.
Also, How:
Extension: Brainstorm a list of things that this robotic hand could allow a person such as Melbourne man Alan Newey to do, that he couldn't do before this technology was invented.
Curriculum links: English
Activity 2. Programming in Motion
Time: Allow 30 minutes to complete this task.
Work with a partner to write a set of steps for them to perform an action such as kicking or throwing a ball. Your instructions need to be very detailed, a bit like coding or programming in a computer. Write the instructions including every possible movement your partner would need to do to accurately perform that function. Once you've written the steps, read them out to your partner while they do the moves to see if your instructions allow them to perform that function. You may need to add things as you go. Swap roles and do the steps your partner has written for you.
Extension: Swap with other pairs of students to test their instructions for different actions.
Curriculum links: Design & Technologies, Personal & Social
With a partner see if you can you identify all the doing words/verbs in this text. Highlight them in yellow and then make a list of them all down your page. Now see if you and your partner can come up with a synonym for the chosen verb. Make sure it still makes sense in the context it was taken from.
Try to replace some of the original verbs with your synonyms and discuss if any are better and why.

8 Acts of Kindness to Perform Today and Every Day!
Sowing a small act of kindness into the world is a simple and wonderful way to make the world around you a better place. Just a few simple actions on a daily basis can help spread the love, so check out these ideas and get started today.
1. Set a 'Kindness Standard' When Driving
Let that car merge in front of you, and give the driver a nice wave. Decreasing tension on the highway is a kindness that goes viral quickly, in a good way. Even better, pay the toll for the car behind you.
2. Make a Parent's Day With a Compliment or Kind Remark
If you see a well-behaved kid in public, let the parent (and the child!) know. Even when a child is having a meltdown in public, a kind remark from a stranger can make a big difference in the parent's day.

uplifting thoughts and inspiration on faith
Exodus tells the story of how God led the children of Israel out of the bondage of slavery under Pharoah in Egypt to the promised land of Canaan. God calls Moses to lead the children of Israel and gives them the Law and instructions for the Tabernacle, the means by which he will dwell with them and lead them to the land.
Egypt's Pharaoh, fearful of the Israelites' numbers, orders that all newborn boys be thrown into the Nile. A Levite woman saves her baby by setting him adrift on the river in an ark of bulrushes. Pharaoh's daughter finds the child, names him Moses, and brings him up as her own. But Moses is aware of his origins, and one day, when grown, he kills an Egyptian overseer who is beating a Hebrew slave and has to flee into Midian. There he marries the daughter of Jethro the priest of Midian, and encounters God in a burning bush. Moses asks God for his name: God replies "I AM that I AM". God tells Moses to return to Egypt and lead the Hebrews into Canaan, the land promised to Abraham.
Exodus 13-15 And Moses said to God,"Behold, when I come to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you', and they say to me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?"
And God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM and WHAT I AM, and I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE;" and He said, "You shall say this to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you!"
God said also to Moses, This shall you say to the Israelites: The Lord, the God of your fathers, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has sent me to you! This is My name forever, and by this name I am to be remembered to all generations.
Moses returns to Egypt, where God again reveals his name Yahweh to him. Yahweh instructs Moses to appear before the pharaoh and inform him of God's demand that he let God's people go. Moses and his brother Aaron do so, but Pharaoh refuses. Yahweh causes a series of ten plagues to strike Egypt, but whenever Pharaoh begins to relent God causes him to harden his heart.
God instructs Moses to institute the Passover sacrifice among the Israelites, and kills all the firstborn children and livestock throughout Egypt. Pharaoh then agrees to let the Israelites go. Moses explains the meaning of the Passover: it is for Israel's salvation from Egypt, so that the Israelites will not be required to sacrifice their own sons, but to redeem them.
The Exodus begins. The Israelites, enumerated at 603,550 able-bodied adult males (not counting Levites) and their families, with their flocks and herds, set out for the mountain of God. Yahweh causes Pharaoh to change his mind about allowing the Israelites to depart; he pursues them, but God destroys the Egyptian army at the crossing of the Red Sea (Yam Suf) and the Israelites celebrate Yahweh's victory. The desert proves arduous, and the Israelites complain and long for Egypt, but God provides manna and miraculous water for them.
The Israelites arrive at the mountain of God, where Moses' father-in-law Jethro visits Moses; at his suggestion Moses appoints judges over Israel. The Israelites arrive at the mountain of God, where God asks whether they will agree to be his people. They accept. The people gather at the foot of the mountain, and with thunder and lightning, fire and clouds of smoke,and the sound of trumpets, and the trembling of the mountain, God appears on the peak, and the people see the cloud and hear the voice of God. Moses and Aaron are told to ascend the mountain. God pronounces the Ten Commandments in the hearing of all Israel.
Moses goes up the mountain into the presence of God, who pronounces the Covenant Code (a detailed code of ritual and civil law), and promises Canaan to them if they obey. Moses comes down the mountain and writes down God's words and the people agree to keep them. God calls Moses up the mountain together with Aaron and the elders of Israel, and they all feast in the presence of God. God calls Moses up the mountain to receive a set of stone tablets containing the law, and he and Joshua go up, leaving Aaron in charge. God calls Moses to go up, and Moses goes up the mountain.
God gives Moses instructions for the construction of the tabernacle so that God can dwell permanently amongst his chosen people.
God gives instructions for the priestly vestments, the altar and its appurtenances, the ritual to be used to ordain the priests, and the daily sacrifices to be offered. Aaron is appointed as the first High Priest,and the priesthood is to be hereditary in his line.
God gives Moses the two stone tablets containing these instructions, written by God's own finger. While Moses is with God, Aaron makes a golden calf, which the people worship. God informs Moses of their apostasy and threatens to kill them all, but relents when Moses pleads for them. Moses comes down from the mountain, smashes the stone tablets in anger, and commands the Levites to massacre the unfaithful Israelites. God commands Moses to make two new tablets on which He will personally write the words that were on the first tablets. Moses ascends the mountain, God dictates the Ten Commandments and Moses writes them on the tablets. Moses descends from the mountain, and his face is transformed, so that from that time onwards he has to hide his face with a veil.
Moses assembles the Hebrews and repeats to them the commandments he has received from God, which are to keep the Sabbath and to construct the Tabernacle. "And all the construction of the Tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting was finished, and the children of Israel did according to everything that God had commanded Moses", and from that time God dwelt in the Tabernacle and ordered the travels of the Hebrews.

Wedding Themes – Weddings Made Exciting
Why do you need a wedding theme? To answer this question, think of these few matters. Haven't you attended scores of weddings and been bored with the routine nature of each of them? Do you want a wedding that is totally unremarkable or do you want a wedding that is exceptional and exciting and which will be remembered for a long time as a unique experience? Well, if you do, indulging in a themed wedding might be the best way to gain a memorable experience. Wedding themes are now becoming very popular with themes ranging from color themes to more exotic themes such as Asian theme weddings and other ethnic themes.
Reasons For The Popularity Of Themed Weddings
Weddings with a specific theme help to make the occasion more memorable. A wedding ideally being a once-in-a-lifetime experience is an occasion that we all love to treasure. It is only natural that we would want that day to be as unforgettable as possible. Wedding themes provide an unusual and a one of a kind element to your wedding and help to make it a truly treasured experience. Weddings centered on a specific theme or a particular color also helps you to express your preferences through the theme that you choose. If your favorite color is blue then you could have a blue wedding theme with all the elements of your wedding centered on that particular color.
Wedding themes give an opportunity to the bride and groom to fulfill any creative dreams that they might have regarding one of the most special days of their lives, their wedding. It enables them to break free from the age old traditional ways of conducting a marriage. Their very own unique style can be stamped on the wedding. Such a wedding needs to be planned with utmost care as the theme selected can be reflected in all areas of the wedding ranging from the wedding favors used to the attire of the bridal couple as well as the guests.
Some Popular Wedding Themes
There are many wedding themes that are popular today. There are weddings based on particular colors alone. The entire theme of these weddings will revolve around that particular color. The bridal dress, table settings as well as other wedding decorations will include that particular color. Other favorite themes include seasonal themes like a summer wedding, a winter wedding and so on. Another favorite wedding theme that is very popular is the beach theme which should ideally take place on a beach.

04cyclonev posted a topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, TroubleshootingHello all, I am a first time poster here, i have been reading for a while and have an issue I've been noticing for a while now with my 2004 Eclipse V drive. The boat stays on trailer our climate controlled warehouse when its not being used, lately I have noticed that it will have a slow drip from the t handle hull drain for at least a week maybe more after it has been used. the walk thru cooler is used and stocked with ice every time we use the boat. both the t handle and the rear plug are pulled at the ramp when we are done using the boat but still once we get back to warehouse it continues to drip. the hose on the port side of the engine with the hose flush port stays full... that was my first though that it was in fact leaking somewhere. I just checked it tonight after 8 days of it being out of the water and it has one drip every 30-40 seconds, I have not gotten my head into it yet but wanted to ask the pros on here before I did. any help would be appreciated thanks

We are currently setting up our new nagios system with OMD / check_mk Raw 1.2p18 ..
For some of our servers we need to monitor the filecount of different folders.
E.g. -> error folders ; with incoming *.xml files ; if the filecount is more than 1 or 5 -> we need an alert.
In the check_mk.ini on the server i edited [fileinfo],
and the filepath -> path = C:\Programme\.......\BackupDirectory\*.xml
WATO config:
Parameters for discovered services -> Size, age and count of file groups -> made an rule,
condition: Host name is xxxxxxx
File Group Name begins with ErrorTest
Value Maximal file count: 3, 10
also made an manual check.. for Size, age and count of file groups
condition: hostname is xxxxxx
fileinfo.groups, ErrorTest,
Maximal file count: 2, 5
and also made a rule for File Grouping Pattern ->
condition: hostname is xxxxxx
Name of group: ErrorTest
Include pattern: "C:\Programme\.......\BackupDirectory\*.xml"
(tried different variants with "" & without ; *.* ...
The problem is the fileGroup check always tell us - everything allright..
"OK - age_oldest is 0 sec, age_newest is 0 sec, count is 0, size is 0 B"
I made an new service discovery for the host, suddenly all files appeared as single service each.
so the check itself is working, but i cannot group them somehow.
can you help us / tell us if we forgot something or maybe give an "how-to tutorial" for this check?
i ´ve checked google for hours, found some hints, even with the same problem.. but not the final solution
thank you in advance !!

Before you can go on a surgery for breast augmentation with breast implants, there are several things that you need to clearly understand so you can make the most informed and best decision that would deliver optimal results for you.
Note that breast augmentation with implants will require several incisions to gain access to the breasts and insert the implants. There are also different kinds of implants that can be used to augment the breasts. It all depends on the final result that a patient wants to achieve.
The breast implants that can be inserted on a patient's breast come in different varieties. One of the decisions that a patient has to make about her breast implants is the profile. The profile of a breast implant will determine the projection of the breast after the surgery.
If you compare round breast implants that have the same volume but have a different base diameter, you will see that the one with a narrow base has a greater projection than the other. The round breast implant profiles can be classified as low profile, medium profile and high profile. The low profile implants have the least amount of projection. They usually have a larger base width and is ideal for women who have wider chests.
The moderate profile offers more projection as compared to a low profile breast implant. This kind of implant is flattering on most women and is recommended for women who have narrower or smaller chests. The high profile implants on the other hand offers the most projection. It is the profile of choice when a woman wants a rounded fullness at the top of the breast. This is what you will see in women who have a very prominent cleavage. This profile is best for smaller women with narrow chests.
Although the patients often have their own ideas about the profile they want, it is highly recommended that they listen to what their surgeon has to say. A surgeon will first take measurements of the patient to determine the maximum width and the maximum projection that is appropriate for the frame of the body. This is to ensure that your breasts will look proportionate to the rest of your body even if you have implants. For a flatter projection, low profile breast implants are selected but for a more rounded or more obvious implants, a very high profile can be selected.
There are also different profiles for anatomically shaped breast implants. Due to the shape of these breast implants, the profiles are not the only basis for decision making. The height of the anatomical implants are also considered. If you are unsure about what kind of implant you should go for, it would be best to go for consultation. The surgeon will be able to explain the different types of breast implants that are available today and suggest which ones would be best for you depending on your frame, preference or desired result. It is always best to listen and heed the advice of experts. With their wealth of experience in this type of surgery, they know which breast implants fits your frame, and which would give you the best results.

Bring your wit and wisdom, loaded or rhetorical questions, and any post-holiday venomous
feelings you've got left over.
Perhaps you can even get some face time on local Miami TV news that night by asking, early on in the proceedings, why they allowed their visceral hatred for touch-screen voting booths to be tied into a clunker of a bill moving the Democratic & GOP Presidential Primaries to January 29th. That would be a nice start.
The primary where your Democratic vote is pure "beauty contest," with zero practical effect on delegate status.
I'll be posting some interesting talking points and prospective questions here as the meeting draws close, and they will be the that'll leave little wiggle room for evading.

Book review The Balthazar Cookbook - by Keith McNally, Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson
French wine
Best dishes
Natural wine
The Balthazar Cookbook - by Keith McNally
Reviewed By
Sue Dyson and Roger McShane
Balthazar is one of our favourite restaurants in the New York as it gives the impression of being timeless. Each time we go back it still delivers the same high-quality food and service. It was established by experienced restaurateur Keith McNally.
We like it because it is not pretentious. It sets out to be a French bistro and succeeds admirably.
We can still taste the Brandade de Morue that we enjoyed so much here.
The book has an excellent introduction by expatriate Australian and prominent art critic Robert Hughes. This is a lovely vignette of life behind the scenes in a busy restaurant. We love the story about Cepe Gomez, an immigrant from the Dominican Republic, who peels 750 pounds of potatoes every day - by hand!!
By reading the introduction you get a good feeling for McNally's obsession with detail and his ability to find a combination of skills and temperament in the two chefs he hired from Daniel's, Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson.
The layout of the book is clean and classical and is supported by over one hundred beautiful photographs.
And what about the food? Well, we wanted to cook nearly every recipe in the book. They are all here from aioli to chicken liver mousse to brandade de morue to frisée with lardons to cassoulet to bouillabaisse and on to crème brûlée. Most are authentic, others have been altered to suit modern tastes or the availability of produce. So Niçoise salad is made with seared tuna, glazed pork belly has a cup of fresh pineapple and bouillabaisse has clams and mussels rather than the more common white fish (the issue of the authenticity of this dish is addressed in the introduction to the recipe in relation to the use of white wine in the dish). However, the results are still delicious and the recipes clear and precise with detailed instructions on how to prepare each dish.
This is a book you will want to return to again and again. It will be a source of inspiration for home cooks and restaurateurs who want to enjoy the vibrant flavours of France.
We suspect that the book will still be as useful in twenty years time as it is today.

Ground X, the crypto unit of South Korean messaging giant Kakao, has successfully raised $90 million in a private coin offering round, Bloomberg reported on March 10th.
According to Jason Han, CEO of Ground X, some of the participants in this ICO round included firms such as IDG Capital, Crescendo Equity Partners, and Translink Capital. The company is planning to hold another funding round starting this week, which will aim to raise a "similar sum", before its blockchain platform is launched in June.
According to Bloomberg, Ground X has already partnered with 26 companies that plan to run their applications on Klaytn, the firm's proprietary blockchain network. Wemade, Korea's popular game developer, Watcha, the video streaming platform, and Zanadu, a Chinese travel agency, are among the companies in that list.
Kakao is also considering adding one of its services to the Klaytn platform, though nothing has been decided yet. Han noted that they are "continuing to have conversations with Kakao" about introducing their apps on the platform.
Klaytn launch was planned for last year, but was delayed due to the need for more development, Han said to Bloomberg. A testnet was already launched for the network last Autumn. Ground X will also start aggressively hiring this year, despite the fact that the company currently has 65 employees.

We propose a novel surface-plasmon-resonance sensor design based on coating the holes of a three-hole microstructured optical fiber with a low-index dielectric layer on top of which a gold layer is deposited. The use of all three fiber holes and their relatively large size should facilitate the fabrication of the inclusions and the infiltration of the analyte. Our numerical results indicate that the optical loss of the Gaussian guided mode can be made very small by tuning the thickness of the dielectric layer and that the refractive-index resolution for aqueous analytes is 1×10-4.

As my birthday winds to a close, I am left feeling completely and utterly overwhelmed in the best possible way, thanks to all of the messages, calls, texts, cards, and gifts from my family and friends near and far. It has been a rainy day here in Kentucky, but these well wishes have made for one very happy and bright birthday indeed. After such an emotional week leading up to today, I have appreciated the warmth and love more than I can possibly say. Usually, such lofty accolades and sweet sentiments ricochet off of my heart like balls hitting Plexiglas, but not today. Today, they all hit their mark.
All birthdays, not just mine, should be celebrated with as much joy and love as possible, because the day a soul bursts into this world of ours is truly extraordinary, for it changes the world and all of those significantly, even if we are unaware of the impact. Every single person comes into existence with his/her unique purpose to serve and bliss to follow, and each respective journey impacts countless journeys across the span of a lifetime, regardless of how long or short that may be. It is mind-blowing to think about how sacred and precious each and every life is, and how we all are connected in both our similarities and differences. So, while I commemorate another year of being who and what I was born to be, I also cannot help but take notice of everyone who has been part of my life so far and even those people who have yet to enter into my world.
Thank you for making my birthday, and, more importantly, my life all the better for being in it. Even though I am well into my 40s now, often times, I still feel like the same little girl with the big mouth, yet who still is not heard. Today was one of those days when I felt heard and loved, and that, to me, is the best possible present. Thank you from the bottom of my big heart, and here's to each of you for being a special presence in this world, especially my own!
That's another story . . .

TVA plans to build 34.8 miles of 161-kilovolt transmission line from the Red Hills Substation to Central EPAs upgraded Kosciusko Substation and would then continue to Leake-Singleton. This preferred route is a combination of route segments that were proposed at two open houses in September 2014.
The selected route is expected to have the least impact on the area, based on public input from the open houses and additional evaluation of other factors, including social, engineering and environmental impacts. A National Environmental Policy Act review is pending.
TVA will meet with property owners along the proposed right of way to obtain easements for construction, operation and maintenance of the line. The project will require new right of way. Property owners would still own the property and be compensated for the easements at fair market value.
TVA is expected to begin surveys in fall 2015 and start acquiring easements in fall 2016. Construction is scheduled to begin in fall 2017 and be completed by fall 2018. A map of the project and additional information are available on the TVA website at www.tva.com/transmissionprojects.
TVA is a corporate agency of the United States that provides electricity for business customers and local power companies serving nine million people in parts of seven southeastern states. TVA receives no taxpayer funding, deriving virtually all of its revenues from sales of electricity.
In addition to operating and investing its revenues in its electric system, TVA provides flood control, navigation and land management for the Tennessee River system and assists local power companies and state and local governments with economic development and job creation.

Well what do you know, I was featured as a "Guest Star" over on Amy Tavern's blog!
I was fortunate enough to finally meet Amy in person a few weeks ago, and listen to her give a great lecture about her work. I've been following her blog for quite a while now, and it's been incredible to see her work evolve. We didn't get a chance to chat much face to face during her visit to ECU, but hopefully we'll get to hang out again in the near future.
You can read her post about me here.

Indian Temptress Gazoo Inserted By 2 Studs
Hindra is yet one more immodest Indian cocksmoker who loves to acquire her hands on a white weiner. Randy fuckers John Janeiro and Marco are quite happy to give her the schlong she urges. You've just gotta watch the look of fun on her face when she's got both hands on their rock hard members! This babe sucks them wonderful in advance of they go to work on one as well as the other her holes; they warm her up with a priceless wet crack pounding 1st, then take turns plugging her taut rear entrance during the time that that babe spreads her legs as wide as they'll go and supplicates for it harder in her backside. The one and the other boyz pull straight without her wazoo and spunk on her nice-looking face – the doxy doesn't mind their immodest peniss on her lips.

I have printed over 2000 business cards and through the different events and programs I have attended over the years, it's time for me to print more business cards. However, I can honestly say I have not received the number of calls or emails that align with the number of cards given out. Is networking events and programs really effective? I have discovered that people rarely do what's necessary to maximize your networking experience, THE FOLLOW UP CALL. When I give someone my business card I really do want them to call me and see how might we partner, collaborate, or ideate. The guilt came when I looked at all of the business cards that I have receive that I failed to call. Challenged Detroit is presenting the fellows with countless of business owners, entrepreneurs, and nonprofit directors that can help catapult each of us into the very position we hope and dream of. But we must take the necessary steps to secure the deal. I came up with the Business Card Day, a day sat aside for me to follow up through emails or phone calls to establish relationships and partnerships. I have met some brilliant business owners, and even those who are still in their infancy stages, yet each have inspired me the same. For the sake of Black History month, I just want to celebrate some women business owners who I have partnered with or just admired along this journey. And just for the record not all of these women are black.

I discovered a couple things from this recipe. Greek Yogurt makes a pretty darn good substitute for mayonnaise IF you are adding some punchy flavors to it….like cumin, coriander, and orange juice & zest. That's exactly what makes up the delicious dressing for this Apple Fennel Slaw. Continue reading »

When I made the decision to dedicate Winter Thyme to Spice Exploration I began by playing with my spices….literally. I transformed them into a Winter Thyme 'Wind.' Touching each one, taking in their individual aromas, admiring their earth tone colors, and seeing how beautiful they looked together. As I stated in my Winter Thyme post, my goal for this season is to explore spices and share what I learn through new recipes. Where they've taken me thus far is on an International journey. So while my intention is to become familiar with spices, I'm kind of digging the new recipes and flavors along the way. That's my not so smooth segue into last night's dinner and this post for Crispy Orange Beef & Broccoli.

Today I was given the challenge of coming up with a Shark recipe. Yes I said Shark…as in Jaws (but smaller, teeth removed). What came home from the store was a fresh Shark fillet and a vote of confidence, "I know you'll come up with something good…and shouldn't everyone try shark at least once?!" And so the recipe research began. After reading many I began to see a pattern….powerful punchy flavors. Not sure what we're covering up but I'm all in. Welcome Shark Kebabs with Orange-Avocado Salsa served over Spiced Cashew Rice. Thank you Epicurious and Food & Wine for these great recipes.
The recipe called for a 30-minute swim in a punchy marinade of citrus juices, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Then it's on to the grill for you, Mr. What Did Anyone Ever Do To You! When I went out to check on the kebabs…look who was waiting for me.
Back away from the grill…no one ordered a frog leg appetizer.
Move along little guy. Recipe Note: No frogs were injured in the making of this dinner.
Flash forward….dinner is served. Wow! Just Wow!! I wish I could provide more details about the specific kind of shark we enjoyed. This was thick and firm and when cooked it was as mild and moist as could be. While it loved the spicy citrus chili marinade and avocado orange salsa, I'm certain it could be served in a more delicate fashion. Actually, broiled with an herb butter sauce over the Awe-mazing Spiced Cashew Rice would be killer. Nothing at all to fear about this shark. Next time, we're gonna need a bigger plate!

I know that this has been much discussed, but at the previous SOS reptile expo, I spoke to the people from nature conservation , did you know that the list of species that may be kept was revised in July 2016, dendrobates where moved from category 1b to category 2, this means that they may be kept, bred and sold with the appropriate permit. Also the whole discussion on whether or not keeping of amphibians are legal, they are totally legal there are only 9 species that are totally prohibited and approx. 6 that are classified under the permits, with some only being banned in the Western Cape. Also you can't keep Iguanas in KZN and Mpumalanga without a permit anymore, and even if you do have a permit you are not allowed to do anything with them, they have been moved to category 1b

Jeeva is an Indian film actor who appears in villain roles in Telugu, Tamil and occasionally in Hindi movies. Jeeva began the career as a villain and appeared in many superhit movies during the 1970s. However, by the mid-90s, there was a drastic plummet in his career and went back to his hometown as the offers were on the decline.
Jeeva's career took a U-turn after director Krishna Vamshi spotted him and offered the role of a broker in his directorial debut Gulabi. Ever since his re-entry, Jeeva has become a busier artist and unlike early part of his career, Jeeva chose to play the characters with grey, comic and positive shades.
Some of Jeeva's famous movies include Chakram, Ninne Pelladatha, Chandamama, Ashok, Swamy Ra Ra, Desamuduru, Chatrapathi, Anjaneyulu, Dhamarukam and Bujjigadu.

The following courses will be offered in the fall to interested students.
ARTH 541: The Russian Avant-Garde
Kristin Romberg, Assistant Professor of Art History, School of Art+Design
Tuesday, 2-4:50pm, 15 Art and Design Building
Interest in art produced in Russia between 1908 and 1930 has often been motivated by the particularities of its revolutionary political context, yet interpreted in terms of Western European notions of modernism. In this seminar, we will attempt to develop a more "glocal" understanding of the work by situating it in relation to ideas like Alexander Bogdanov's tectonic systems theory, Mikhail Bakhtin's aesthetics of answerability, Leon Trotsky's perpetual revolution, and Aleksei Gastev's scientific organization of labor, as well as familiar modernist aesthetic models, such as the avant-garde, medium-specific formalism, and the Gesamtkunstwerk.
LAW 656: International Law
Francis Boyle, Professor of Law
Monday and Tuesday, 3-4:15pm
The nature, sources, and subjects of international law and its place in the control of international society; includes an examination of the law of jurisdiction, territory, recognition and succession of states, rights and immunities of states in foreign courts, diplomatic immunities, treaties, protection of citizens abroad, settlement of international disputes, war and neutrality, the United Nations, and the International Court of Justice. Please contact Prof. Boyle at fboyle(at)illinois.edu for further information.
LIS 530: REEES Bibliographic Research Methods
Christopher M Condill, Slavic Acquisitions Specialist
Friday, 2-3:50pm, 109 Graduate School of Library & Information Science
The LIS 504 prerequisite is WAIVED for this 530 section. Description: This course is designed to provide graduate students in both area and information studies with a comprehensive introduction to research techniques in the Russian & East European field. Depending on enrollment, course content is designed to cover a broad range of interests–for example, Central Asia as well as Russia–while demonstrating that many tools serve more than one specialty. The course will also discuss the resources and skills required for digital scholarship, as well as traditional approaches.
EPS 533: Global Youth & Citizenship
Linda Herrera, Professor of Politics of Education
Wednesday, 7-9pm
Discusses youth and citizenship in a global context. Covers the social construction of children and youth, the sociology of global generations, education and social media, and new youth movements in the digital age. Draws on a diversity of case studies from North America, the Middle East and North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, Europe and Latin America.
The development of this course (EPS 533) was made possible through generous support from the Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center (NRC) program. This course is a lasting outcome of a cross-center initiative for Global Informatics research and training at Illinois NRCs.
