text: I'm making a sandbox game and I'm stuck on planes and flying vehicles at the moment. I want players to be able to enter and exit vehicles. For flying vehicles, that means landing the vehicle before getting out. I'm not sure what the collision should be set to, or if there's something else I need to do to fix the problem, but what I've tried hasn't worked. The vehicles are using skeletal meshes because that's what was in the video I followed. Unfortunately the video didn't include landing or anything to do with collision, and I can't find any more videos or written tutorials on the topic. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You can file a divorce a Petition for Dissolution in Lincoln County, Washington, by walking the papers into the courthouse or by mailing them. If your divorce is uncontested, you may not even have to show up.
Lincoln County Washington Divorce
Lincoln County, Washington, is located just west of Spokane. Davenport is the county seat of Lincoln County. The superior court is also located there, and that's where you would file for divorce in Lincoln County.
Two rules distinguishes Lincoln County from other counties in Washington when it comes to divorce. One involves the residency requirement while the other concerns filing methods.
In Washington, anyone is permitted to file for divorce as soon as he or she becomes a resident there. No waiting period is required. You can file in your own home county or in that of your spouse – or in Lincoln County. Lincoln County is the sole county that permits all Washington residents to file for divorce in its court.
Both spouses must consent to this, however, if neither live there. In addition, in some cases you can file for divorce in Lincoln County by mail. It is one of two counties that permit you to mail in a petition for dissolution.
Filing for Divorce in Lincoln County, Washington
Every divorce in Washington state is a no-fault divorce. The only permissible "grounds" for a divorce in Washington courts is that the marriage is irretrievably broken. You cannot try to assign blame, nor need you spell out the reasons the marriage broke down.
That makes filing for divorce much simpler. The basic document is the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage, asking the court to dissolve your marriage. Note that in Washington, it takes only one spouse to end a marriage. A court will grant a divorce even against the other spouse's wishes.
In Lincoln County, you'll need to file a summons, a confidential information form and a vital statistics form at the same time as the petition. You'll also need to pay a filing fee.
Methods of Filing for Divorce in Lincoln County
You can walk in and file your papers in Lincoln County's superior court in Davenport, or you can mail in your papers and fees.
Many different paralegal and attorney firms are available to assist you with this mail-in divorce service. If your divorce is uncontested, you do not even have to make an appearance.
If your divorce is contested, you definitely need to appear at one hearing and perhaps more than one, as in every other county in Washington. Generally, the more issues you and your spouse are unable to come to agreement on, the more documents you will need to file, and the longer your case will take.
Washington imposes a 90-day cooling-off period before granting a divorce. For uncontested, mail-in divorces that do not require an appearance, you can obtain a divorce in Lincoln County in just a little more than 90 days.

The Third Policeman
This event has now finished!
A Surreal Comic Adventure
Adapted by Bill Scott, Meiert Avis and Robert Bayley
This summer Cornwall's Miracle Theatre ventures into a world somewhere between Alice in Wonderland and Father Ted, where the earth is not round but sausage-shaped; where eccentric policemen fall in love with bicycles and you can visit eternity via a rickety lift, hidden beside a lane in the heart of rural Ireland.
With its hilarious characters, streaks of dark humour and unforgettable plot twist, The Third Policeman earned its author, Flann O'Brien, a world-wide reputation as one of Ireland's great comic geniuses.
Flann O'Brien's scorching wit and delicious turn of phrase, combined with Miracle's delight in physical comedy and absurdity, has to be a winning combination. Fans of this cult classic and newcomers alike should expect the unexpected!

The public interest itigation (PIL), filed by an organization called Indian Council of Legal and Advice, said that the biometric system to register the attendance of lecturers and other teaching staffs should be introduced.
It said that the system should be introduced to ensure that a teacher adheres to the teaching hours and days prescribed by the UGC and the University rules. Advocate Saini, appeared for the petitioner and said the UGC in its regulations in 2010 provided that "Universities and colleges must adopt at-least 180 working days, that means there should be minimum of 30 weeks", of actual teaching.
The petition said "The working hours actually being put in by a lecturer/assistant professor/teacher in Delhi University daily are just about three and four hours". The plea said it seemed that the university was not implementing the biometric system under pressure from teachers unions. However, in 2009 the University had unsuccessfully tried to introduce the biometric system in its colleges.

14 May Climate change: Scientists test radical ways to fix Earth's climate
Posted at 17:13h in Scoop.it
Scientists in Cambridge plan to set up a research centre to develop new ways to repair the Earth's climate. It will investigate radical approaches such as refreezing the Earth's poles and removing CO2 from the atmosphere. The center is being created because of fears that current approaches will not on their own stop dangerous and irreversible damage to the planet.

Near the southern border of Uganda is a nongovernmental organization called the Uganda Community Based Association for Women and Children Welfare (UCOBAC). Serving the needs of vulnerable women and children in priority areas, UCOBAC consists of staff and volunteers, many of whom work toward their mission using laptops that have been donated to them – from more than 7,000 miles away in South Orange, New Jersey.
Back in 2010, Andrew Simon, associate professor in the Department of Psychology, took on an action research project with UCOBAC, assisting in the development of the organization's five-year strategic plan. "During the month I was there, I came to realize that it would make an immeasurable difference to them to have laptops," says Simon. He contacted Stephen Landry, Seton Hall's chief information officer, about donating some of the University's resurfaced laptops to his UCOBAC colleagues. They started with one laptop, then shortly thereafter developed a program aiming to equip the entire organization with them. "My contacts in the Information Technology Department have been great. I'd write Paul Fisher and ask him for a small batch at a time, he would authorize it, and then Irene Wang would prepare them and tell me when they were ready for pick up," says Simon.
The donated laptops are being used in a number of ways. Some are used to train staff and volunteers, particularly those who have never been formally educated. They are also instrumental to a project that helps secure the rights of women to own land. Says Simon, "This is a problematic issue in northern Uganda. UCOBAC has been using the laptops to collect data on who owns what land legally. That shifts the possibilities for women and girls in that region."
The program appeared to be a success early on. Then one evening, it expanded in the unlikeliest of ways.
Andrew Simon has been assisting Uganda-based UCOBAC for nearly 10 years.
Simon was having dinner with friends, and he began to talk about Seton Hall's laptop donations to UCOBAC. Among those around the table was Dr. Mary Ann LoFrumento, medical director of the newborn nursery at Morristown Medical Center, head of the global health education program for the residents at Atlantic Health – and cofounder of a nonprofit organization called Hands Up for Haiti (HUFH). Striving to make a sustainable and positive impact on the health of those in northern Haiti, HUFH's employees were looking to take their program development and data collection to the next level. And to do that, they desperately needed computers.
Simon quickly got to work. With Landry's help, HUFH joined UCOBAC in reaping the benefits of the resurfaced laptops. "We have about 600 kids a year in our malnutrition program, which runs for 8-12 weeks. Every week they get weighed, and we continually monitor their progress. That's all done on these computers," says Dr. LoFrumento. They also use the laptops to collect data on each child hospitalized for treatment or surgery, as well as to keep track of their pharmaceutical inventory. "Ultimately, the laptops are what helped us grow the organization. We couldn't have afforded these computers on our own, and thus, we wouldn't have been able to effectively communicate with each other, to get our programs off the ground, to accurately collect data or to track expenses. They've really made a difference," she says.
Dr. Mary Ann LoFrumento cofounded Hands Up for Haiti to improve the health of those in the northern region of the country.
Others at the University have also stepped in to use resurfaced laptops as a way to improve the lives of those in need. Between 2014 and 2015, Frank Sweigart, director of Systems Support, was involved in two servant leadership trips to Our Lady of the Sioux Parish on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in Oglala, South Dakota. For each of those trips, he secured 25 laptops with accessories, as well as a video projector. The group worked with Sr. Barb Bogenschutz, parish coordinator of Our Lady of the Sioux, to distribute the laptops to elementary and high school aged members of the parish community – many of whom lived quite a distance from their schools and needed a computer at home to complete assignments away from the school computer labs.
But behind every successful program is a unique set of challenges. For example, when Simon first inquired about the use of laptops at UCOBAC, he was told that years prior, UNICEF had attempted to send the organization a large shipment of them, but that the government stepped in because of the size of the shipment. There was no objection to individuals bringing in laptops on their own; officials simply opposed mass shipments of them. Thus, to abide by the government restrictions in Uganda, and to ensure that the laptops arrive safely at their respective locations, the machines have had to be delivered in person, only a few at a time.
The laptops donated to Hands Up for Haiti ultimately served to expand their programs.
"This has been our biggest challenge, since it's both time-consuming and expensive for one of us, or one of them, to make the trip to deliver the computers ourselves," says Simon, who has had to think outside the box for alternative options. "Sometimes I deliver them to someone I know who's traveling to Uganda or Haiti. There's also an organization in Brooklyn called GROOTS International that supports women's projects internationally, and I've brought some to them. I've even enlisted the help of my psychology students, telling them about the project and asking them to use their connections and brainstorm ways to transport these machines." To help ease the difficulty a bit, Simon is looking into the possibility of transporting tablets to HUFH, which are lighter and smaller than laptops and would allow volunteers to deliver more of them at once.
Despite the challenges, Simon is pleased with the how the idea has progressed and the difference it has made well beyond South Orange – simply by repurposing existing University resources. "We prepare our students to think critically and be servant leaders, and at the same time, we're banding together to make contributions to these groups around the world. We're embodying what we teach."

How is the Japanese market perceiving Italian brands? And what are the margins for an effective collaboration between Italy and Japan in the fashion industry?
The 14th of October - on the Occasion of the Japan Fashion Week - the Chamber hosted a midday talk regarding the state-of-the-art of the Italian fashion brands in Japan. It was moderated by Akiko Shinoda (Director of international affairs for the Japan Fashion Week Organization).
This seminar was an opportunity to present the problem of the costs of high quality fabrics, imported from Japan to Italy and vice versa. "Natural and synthetic materials combined together create interesting textures. It is a shame that the costs for export to Italy are so high; oftentimes the result is that only one line of a whole collection is made with Japanese fabrics " said Andrea Pompilio.
This trend was partly confirmed by Mr. Hidenobu Teramura: "most of japanese textile production remains in the domestic market and only a fraction of the high-quality fabric is used in the fashion industry. For this reason in the last three years the Government has signed specific trade agreements with some countries in Asia and Europe, but not yet with Italy".
'Made in Italy' fashion has also to work through the difficulties of conforming its products to the Japanese standards and certifications, which are limiting the import to Japan. The hope for the future is that trade policies between the two countries will facilitate cooperation and exchanges, encouraging a trend that is already positive, with regard to the (if we consider the) interest of the fashion houses for the local high quality fabrics.
Italy and Japan are linked by a centuries-old textile tradition and a thorough knowledge of materials. More generally, they share a history, an artistic culture and a manufacturing tradition that is clearly distinguishable from any other country. These characteristics must be valorised, especially today: "in this globalisation era, it is essential for every fashion house to strengthen the bond with the culture of its own country and promote the local young designers in order to allow fashion brands to continue expressing an unique soul and spirit". This is one of the ideas proposed by Hirofumi Kurino that perfectly matches with the mission of the Japan Fashion Week: become the starting point for cooperation between designers,manufacturers and apparel retailers; be the gateway for success in the world for new designers; make Tokyo more fashionable and enjoyable.

Why I Write
I write for many reasons: for joy of the word, the love of my imagination, to share stories, to make truths, to discover myself, to make meaning of an incoherent world, but now, late this night, I write madly because the sheer motion of putting down the words is the only act within my control.
Peace, Linda

There are so many reasons not to write - that's profound to me. It shows the depth of your passion.ReplyDelete
I also write for control. Turmoil and chaos always propel me to write more, because I get to decide what will happen, when, to whom...why.
Excellent write Linda. Are you going to enter in the Why I Write at Editor Unleashed? I think you would do well.

Thank you all for your well wishes. Sitting vigil while someone you love is dying is beautiful and hard. An honor. It has been an extremely emotional week... Peace, LindaReplyDelete
Take care, Linda.ReplyDelete
Thinking of you friend. Good essay on writing. I think writing creates a perception--perhaps not a reality for most of us, but a perception--of leaving something indelible in the world. Our words will outlast us; more of a chance of that now than ever before. We live on through our words, as do those who enter our stories through characters, situations and scenes.ReplyDelete
Keep plugging away.

- Aids in nursing care for your pet
- Keeps house clean and dry
- Water resistant and durable nylon construction
- Easy care: wash and line dry
- Made in USA
$20.00 – $40.00
My little girl Annie became incontinent after her back injury. At first, she would wear diapers all the time to help keep my house clean. When we got her K9 Cart, I decided to try the Catch-It-All on the back. I'm amazed at how big of a difference it makes! I'm able to save on the cost of the disposable diapers since I'm only using them when she's not in the cart (a couple hours during the day, and at bedtime) – it's also helping the environment!
This is an awesome product. They are black, so the color matches with any cart color-my cart is blue and it's barely noticeable. I was worried I would have to keep my dog in one area once she became incontinent. at least she is now able to move freely about the house without me have to follow her around to clean up messes.

7NG Cambodia has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with MEADA Rabrong Plc. To provide life insurance 5 years to customers who subscribe to the 7NG project.
Khem Sary, director of theMEADA Rabrong Plc., said in a memorandum of understanding that the insurance company had two products: Loan Protection Insurance and Basic Life Insurance. According to Khem Sary, the MoU will help 7NG customers become more confident when they die in any way while they are buying a 7NG project.
"The insurance is to help protect the risk of customers who come to buy 7NG projects, which protects the customer's financial condition when he dies," he said. Insurance is not a layout that protects it, just like we bought a fire extinguisher at home, but we did not lay down a house fire to protect the house. "
Dr. CHIN Chanrathana, Director of IIC and TPP said that 7NG has already received licenses and licenses from ministries and relevant authorities in shaping hands on the project. According to the CEO, the MoU is the company's thinking.
"7NG does not leave clients who subscribe to their projects lonely," he said. We make them confident, so we buy a five-year life insurance product for our customers. "
Dr. Chan Chanrathana said that 7NG had a total of 13,000 acres of land and in the ancient city project in Vihear Sur more than 30,000 sqm of more than 40,000 plots, and the company sought home furnishings Customers who subscribe to the project. This project includes: garden, park, condominium.

It has been a REALLY long time since the act of simply seeing the number "111" really meant anything to me (at all).
I put that in a bold 15 point font for the benefit of anyone who thinks that I'm just some guy that simply sees the number 111 all over the place. Because I'm not that guy. No, I'm not. I haven't been - for a VERY long time. At this point, it's WAY more than that. If you take the time to read through the entire write-up and you see the progression of events, it is very clear that I did not go looking for 111. It found me. And it found me through a bizarre series of coincidences that actually began when I was THREE. The real question is this: where did my initial early 1980's experience with simply seeing 111 lead me? Well, it led me smack dab into the position of CLEARING HOUSE, ELDER SPOKESPERSON, SCRIBE, and RECORD KEEPER for not only people seeing 111, but for all people who have connected into a special number pattern. It also led me to Crowley and it led me to the Qabala. But through it all, I think I have kept a balance that has eluded others. I have refrained from crowning myself as The Leader of anyone (or anything). "the 111 experience" is not a MOVEMENT or a CULT or a GROUP. It is simply my story. As a colleague and coworker of mine said recently "it is a divine yet not completely understood gift." That really sums it up. I really do see it as a gift. And, as the years go by, I have been going out on a limb and sharing it with more and more people. In fact, I put it out there for the whole world to see. Because it is The Truth. And it is Real.
On the issue of DEFINING what this experience is: "What does it mean, Jim, what does it all mean?" is a familiar question I get asked quite often. After all is said and done, I can only state one or two things with absolute certainty:
111 is an elegant, simplified, numeric code for ALL Trinities (and it also happens to be the binary representation of SEVEN). That's it. Anything else is pure speculation.
OK, now that I've gotten that out of the way...
I have also made some modifications to the front page. I am now passing folks through a page devoted to links about May 5, 2000. Tons of folks (including the people of the United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors in Eatonton, Georgia) believe that this date signals the end of the world as we know it. If you checked out all the links, you probably saw that the jury is still out on that one. But I thought it was an interesting movement. "55" has come up quite a bit for me over the past ten years. It was my home address, my physician's address, and the address of the building where I took all the courses for my Masters Degree. So 5-5 is a day that I'll pay attention to and collect information on. It will be interesting to see what the world is like on 5-6. If I had to take bets on it, I'm sure we'll all still be here.
I have also added a bunch of links into the ONE CHUNK of HTML that makes up "the 111 experience". I added links to outside organizations so folks can learn more about some of the topics I reference throughout the write-up. I have also added photographic evidence of some of the things I have been mentioning in the write-up for years. This is not only to address certain folks that read the write-up and say to themselves "he MUST be making all this stuff up" but I think it also adds a bit more depth to my account.
A few new things about 777 have come up. As you recall, Aleister Crowley's "777" book was an early trigger for me and it contained references to 111 that predated my own experience with the number (I'll note once again, that AC is the only person I have ever come across who has had an experience that predates mine). But aside from all that, guess what? I now work at a location whose address is 777 NW [real name omitted] Parkway. Isn't that unusual? I would certainly say so. I also wanted, for the first time, to take note of the UNIX command "chmod 777". Basically, it gives ALL users ALL permissions. I found that little correspondence very liberating.
On a personal non-111-related note, we got a new cat several months ago. He was only a few weeks old and had been left in a box on the doorstep of a local pet store. His name is Mika (pronounced MEE-KA). He's our little boy. I think he looks a little bit like Cyd. Hopefully, he'll live as long as she did. That would mean he'd be around until 2017. And I'll be 55. OH MY GOD.

Upgrading to the latest release didn't change anything, however I did find the issue:
Interesting. I'm running the latest version (220.127.116.11).
Could it possibly be something with the way the media is organized/named? I've attached a snippet with my filepaths.
This was an issue after all. In order for Emby to see them as different versions, the files must have the EXACT same name as the folder, before the hyphen. For example, for this to work properly the folder needs to be named "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope", and then the files need to be named "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope - <version>".Go to the full post

As the 2015 general elections approaches, elders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Oyo State have announced the reconciliation of the two existing parallel state executives of the party into one body.
Rising from a reconciliation meeting, which held at the Iyaganku residence of the former Deputy National Chairman of the party, Chief Yekini Adeojo, yesterday in Ibadan, the elders declared that the party was now one under the leadership of Yinka Taiwo as chairman and went on to issue a quit notice to the Senator Abiola Ajimobi-led administration. They vowed to reclaim the state which they lost to All Progressives Congress, APC, during the 2011 elections.
Chief Adeojo, who addressed reporters after the peace meeting, also disclosed that the party had unanimously endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan for second term, stressing that contrary to the barrage of criticisms against him by the opposition, he had done quite a lot to improve the lot of Nigerians.
Although notable elders of the party such as former governor, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala and the Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory, Ms. Jumoke Akinjide were conspicuously absent from the meeting, they were reportedly represented.
Adeojo said: "No governor had ever done it twice in Oyo, not even Bola Ige. We have come together to show Ajimobi the way out in 2015. Irrespective of what they say that he has done, PDP will push him out. And we are by the decision assuring President Goodluck Jonathan of our support for his second term ambition.
"Despite the criticisms from the opposition, he is the next president of Nigeria, because the people know him and what he has been able to do for them".

I did it my way
"You can learn many things about cooking, about ingredients, cutting combinations, and procedures, but even more fundamentally you can learn to act on your own experience, outside of recipes, relying on your innate capacity to taste and sense and decide for yourself what you like. By this I do not mean following your instincts, which seems to me a rather amorphous concept, but being present, carefully observing the obvious, acquainting your palate with your palette."--Edward Espe Brown, from The Complete Tassajara Cookbook
This weekend up in the family cabin in Maine I volunteered to cook for my in-laws. The last time we were there, my husband's cousins were also visiting and my cousin Mikki and my mother-in-law did all the cooking while I sat back and enjoyed the spoils. I also enjoy cooking, and in the interest of proving that I'm not a princess expecting to be served all the time, I figured it was my turn to seize the wooden spoon.
I had brought an advanced reading copy of Zen chef Edward Espe Brown's new book The Complete Tassajara Cookbook. Ever since I saw the movie about him, How to Cook Your Life,
I've been curious to try some of his recipes. I'm not a vegetarian, but Mike is, and it wouldn't hurt for me to incorporate more vegetables into my starch and sugar diet. What I didn't remember about Brown's way of cooking was 1. he takes his time cooking, communing with the ingredients, which five years ago would have made me roll my eyes and dismiss him as a New Age weirdo, but now I think it's interesting. I find that when I'm in the zone, cooking can be very Zen-like. Oh, and 2. his menus don't have a central, meaty entree. Instead they're a balance of tastes, smells, and textures. So don't expect steak, mashed potatoes, and green peas.
Since my foot fracture, I've been spending the bulk of my time on horizontal surfaces. I couldn't believe how much I could sleep! I hoped that all the dozing would make my foot heal faster, but no such luck--I was still hobbling around in pain. I asked Mike to go out and fetch the ingredients for the menu I had planned for the evening: Potatoes Baked with Wine and Cream, Tomato Salad with Provolone and Fresh Herbs, and Asparagus Sauteed with Roasted Almonds. Having spent the bulk of his day working on computer virus protection while I was off in La La Land, he wasn't exactly thrilled to be chasing after fresh chives and sliced almonds. But he did it for me anyway, the sweetie pie, and then I set to work. Problem was, dinner was supposed to be at 6:30, and I was only getting started around 6:15.
No problem, I thought, we'll eat on New York time, which is anywhere from 8 to 11PM. And that was about how long it was going to take, I discovered, when I glanced down at the recipe for the potatoes and it said they were to bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, and then for an additional 20 minutes on top of that!
Taking a deep breath, I started on the potato dish first, cutting the medium red bliss potatoes into quarters. Although Edward Espe Brown espouses putting the recipe aside and just being present with the ingredients and how they're coming together, I stuck with the recipe. No way did I want to serve uncooked potatoes or greasy asparagus to my in-laws of just two years.
As I said, when I cook, the Zen part arises when I'm completely focused on the preparation. I don't like cooking with others because I get easily distracted and start to feel self-conscious about my methods. When Mike and I were first dating, we talked about all the dinners we'd cook together, jazz music playing on the overhead speakers as we diced and stirred together. But that's usually not how it happens. When I'm cooking, I often try to persuade him to watch Tank Overload or whatever other heavy artillery show he can find on Discovery while I enjoy having the kitchen all to myself. Mike has strong opinions on how things should be done, and I often fall short of those rules. That's because for me cooking (and most other learned skills) is trial and error...making a mess, cutting too much off, doing it the slow way until I learn the shortcuts on my own. In other words, doing it MY WAY. Mike has never complained about the results before (well, maybe that one time when I attempted chick pea curry...)
I remember one of the first times Mike and my mother interacted. I was throwing a holiday cookie-making party in my tiny kitchen in Hoboken. My choice of cookie were rollouts, and as I placed the cookie cutter on various corners of the dough, both my mother and my future husband seemed itching to say something. Before I knew it, they had seized the cookie cutter and were stamping away.
"You're wasting a lot of dough the way you're doing it," my mother said, "it will take forever if you do it this way. You have to cut them closer together." Mike echoed Mom's sentiment, and also was determined to remove the shapes from the floured surface before I inadvertently tore off a leg or an antler.
I was used to my mother hovering over me as I learned to cook, adjusting the flame under pots, adding a pinch more seasoning, securing lids. But now Mike was doing it, too. He had worked in kitchens before, as he's very fond of reminding me, and my mother has cooked dinner for our family almost every night for as long as I can remember. I felt trapped, doomed to the role of prep cook for all eternity because I would never be able to match their collective experience.
Back in Maine: As I was putting the potatoes in the oven, there were stirrings in the livingroom about when dinner would be served. I didn't want to tell the truth, but I whispered to Mike's mom, "The potatoes are going to take a while!" I didn't mind waiting--I wanted to taste slow-cooked food the way Edward Espe Brown intended, and would happily drink a glass of wine and munch on cheese in the meantime. But my mother-in-law is practical, extremely capable, and no-nonsense. She intervened, raising the temperature of the oven so the potatoes would cook faster. She told me, "No way is it going to take that long. These are small potatoes. I'll bet they'll be done in 1/2 hour!"
Again, it was like too many cooks in the kitchen. Though I knew she was probably right and I should respect her experience, I wanted to follow the recipe as it was written, cook the way I wanted to cook, even if it meant taking the longer path.
I cut the tomatoes for the salad and snapped the ends off the asparagus, all the while conscience of the fact that my new family probably thought I was crazy for making a meatless meal that took three hours. By following my mother-in-laws advice, the potatoes were ready in a little over an hour, not two, and we didn't have to eat at midnight. Of course, I couldn't resist reading aloud Edward Espe Brown's commentary on the menu, how it was "a picture painted with flavors." But even I had to laugh when I read "Potatoes baked this way have a marvelous earthiness...the flavor of purified, refined dirt." Hmmm. I hope nothing I ever serve tastes like dirt.
My in-laws were very polite and generous even though they were probably wondering where's the beef? For once I felt virtuous eating a meal of vegetables instead of white rice with melted Jack cheese (one of Mike's favorites.) And I felt a sense of accomplishment at turning a bag of produce into a meal.
But next time, I'm sending Mike, my in-laws, and my parents to a movie while I lose myself in cooking, Jennifer-style.

Cisco tweaks Spark, WebEx to intensify cloud collaboration strategy
Cisco tweaks Spark, WebEx to intensify cloud collaboration strategy
Cisco has intensified its cloud collaboration strategy by pooling capabilities from its cloud applications Spark and WebEx, and repositioning them under one brand: Cisco WebEx.
The company announced the convergence of Cisco Spark and WebEx platforms to provide a new WebEx meetings application and a new seamless team collaboration application called WebEx Teams (formerly Cisco Spark).
Cisco said enterprise app spend has been recorded at US$421 billion representing a 9.5% CAGR, evidence that applications are driving business, according to the software firm.
At the 2018 Cisco Partner Connection Week hosted in Nassau, Bahamas, Nirav Sheth, Vice President, Architectures, Solutions and Engineering, Global Partner Organisation, introduced Cisco WebEx and stressed the company's ongoing commitment to a cloud-agnostic, multi-cloud strategy.
Sheth said WebEx facilitates over six billion meeting minutes per month and features knowledge worker recognition.
"Because we deliver WebEx through the cloud, the one hundred million people worldwide who use WebEx do not need to take any action. They will simply get the update in the coming months," reads part of a statement released by the company.
Rowan Trollope, SVP and GM, Applications Group, Cisco, added, "Everything we do is designed with people in mind – to help them work, collaborate, and create together. That's why we have invested so much in WebEx. Our vision is to bring this amazing experience to a billion users and conference rooms all around the world."
The enterprise software firm is pushing the value of one converged cloud backbone and one core experience as part of its value proposition.
Cisco believes cloud collaboration and its multi-cloud portfolio will empower partners to effectively serve customers that continue to seek out opportunity within an app-centric environment characterised by shifting workloads.
Kip Compton, VP, Cloud Platform & Solutions Group, Cisco, said based on market research conducted with IDC, 94% of enterprises plan to use multiple clouds and 87% have taken steps towards a hybrid cloud strategy.
The company reflected on projected CAGR rates across PaaS, private cloud as well as management & orchestration through to 2020 (30%, 16% and 33% respectively) and added that customers now demand the value of end-to-end cloud solution offering to effectively support their cloud strategies.
Cisco executives claim the conversation around cloud has changed - it is no longer about whether or not to migrate to the cloud or using the cloud to manage costs.
The market has largely moved away from trying to prevent cloud lock-in and there is value in using multiple supplier partners to position cloud as an enabler of digital transformation and access all innovation possible from the cloud ecosystem.

What Then?
I think perhaps I'll go fishing today
Or maybe I could watch the Yankees play
I could stay home and read a good book
Or I could go on-line and take a look
Household duties firmly, kindly beckon
I should tackle those jobs first, I reckon
I could call a friend, ask her out for tea
Or simply stay indoors and watch TV
I could teach my baby to count to ten…
I could write a fine novel, but what then?
I could climb mountains and stand on their peaks
Or become famous by mere words I speak
I could ride tall waves, have a reckless time
Be noted as brave for walls that I climb
I could be lazy or shallow or bold
Or focus on gleanings in pastures gold
I could hoard pennies, a miserly fool
Or gain great knowledge by staying in school
I could be remembered a while 'mongst men
For some great accomplishment, but what then?
When the curtain falls on life's final scene
When my Maker calls and I hear my name
When I stand at last as all men will do
When life is past at my final adieu
When I leave my shoes on eternity's shore
And He reads my reviews at Heaven's door
What will He see as He takes a long look
At pages I've written in my life's book
As I look at Him and He holds my hand
Will this life have been worth it; oh, what then?
Janet Martin
I re-vamped an 'oldie' from the archives,
Remembering it when I saw the prompt, The Show Must Go On…
6 comments:
But what then......ReplyDelete
Someone I recently pulled from my bookshelf to read again asked the same question in her book Delighting God. The author: Victoria Brooks (2003).
After this and that and the next thing, what then?
Her answer (the one that dropped into her heart after over a year of heart-wrenched searching)... came from something she read in the Westminster Shorter Catechism of Faith:
"The chief end of man is to glorify and enjoy Him forever."
She knew THAT was the answer. And goes on to say, those words became the theme of her existence.
Which was a similar conclusion I'd come to as well in my own search for the reason for my own existence.
And then what....
Enjoyed your piece, Janet!
I don't remember ever seeing the original, but this will do. The show must go on, but the final curtain call is important.ReplyDelete
Yes, the what then, is important and if we can rest in the assurance of His promises we may truly then live the now in joy and peace.ReplyDelete
God bless, and thank-you.
Janet, your life will have been worth it indeed. Many of us ask the same questions.ReplyDelete
This life is full of distractions, yes... but if we keep our focus on The One who lights our way and guides our steps... our ending will be beautiful.ReplyDelete
"At the end of it all, I want to be in your arms..." ~ Beautiful Ending by Barlow Girl
Thank you for the gentle reminder Janet :)
I'm so thankful that the 'worth' is through what Jesus did for us...not by anything we have done for Him, and I'm so thankful we can all have access to His grace! 'For God so loved the world that he gave His only son, that whoever believes on him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16ReplyDelete
Mary and Megan, I thank-you so much for your words.

The Five 'American' Jihadist Detained In Pakistan Claim Discrepancy Between Jihad And Terrorism.
A more sorry looking bunch of human beings I have never seen. Take a look at these pencil necked weasels, these guys want to wage war on us? I may be wrong here, but I would venture to wager, that these guys haven't gotten laid lately, well not by women. I think if I looked like these clowns maybe, just maybe, death by marine or ranger might be preferable to glancing into reflective surfaces. If we didn't have a bunch of geriatric metro-sexual testosterone deficient males representing us in congress and lately in the White House we could quit prolonging the inevitable and start waging war where we know it needs to be waged. Let's just forget political correctness, shall we? We should provoke twerps like this to action so we can demolish them. They want jihad we give them jihad. I've said it a number of times, if it were not for those sniveling Democrats and liberals, crying about Abu Grahib, torture, Rumsfeld, oil for blood and Guantanamo, we could have had Damascus and Tehran rebuilding from the rubble. After that we could get a little payback in Somalia and Lebanon. Then we prepare for the next ones. Anyway I digress, It is a revealing glimpse into the psyche of the Muslim, listening to these five ass clowns saying they're not terrorist, they are jihadist. Sure there is no difference between the two terms, not to us at least, the terrorist and the jihadist both want us dead and will shoot us, blow us up or behead us if given a chance. It's all semantics as they say. The Pakistani authorities are charging them with terrorism, which carries, in this case, a life sentence. I hope the Pakistani court wins. However, there are signs that these things have people looking out for their best interest, namely Interpol, whom I understand, form this report, wishes to have them repatriated to the United States. One must conclude that the US State Department, a noted foe of America, probably wants these refuse to be spared so they can succeed at some more opportune moment. Take a good look ladies and gentlemen of the United States of America, these are the people the Democrat libtards would have us submit and surrender to.

Football League - Sky Bet League Two
Mansfield Town 1 - 0 Plymouth Argyle
Oliver 45.
Attendance: 2926 (581 from Plymouth)
Date: 22 November 2014
Martin Shaw and Simon Chamberlain at the One Call Stadium, Field Mill
Adam Murray's first game as caretaker manager saw Mansfield Town put in an excellent display against high-flying Plymouth to earn a thoroughly deserved victory at Field Mill. Murray had told the players to go and express themselves and not give away possession easily, and it worked very well as Mansfield played some very good passing football much to the delight of the home crowd and restricted Plymouth to few goalscoring chances. The only goal of the game came on the stroke of half time as Vadaine Oliver, in the last game of his loan spell unless it can be extended, outmuscled and out-ran the Plymouth defence to delightfully lob over the advancing goalkeeper. The Stags had one piece of luck when Plymouth hit the underside of the bar from two yards in the first through Mellor, but aside from that, Mansfield defended superbly when they had to and were worthy winners. The win was the Stags first after a winless run of 9 games, and puts the Stags eight points behind the play-off zone and ten points above the relegation zone. Confidence should be high going into the important FA Cup replay at Concord Rangers on Tuesday.
Saturday, 22nd November 2014: Mansfield Town 1, Plymouth Argyle 0
chad.co.uk report by John Lomas
After less than 24 hours as caretaker manager, Adam Murray wrote another chapter in his rich Mansfield Town history as the Stags ended their nine game run without a win with an unlikely success against high-flying Plymouth Argyle to get the One Call Stadium rocking again today.
With manager Paul Cox calling time on his tenure last night, Plymouth might have thought they would bring their seven game unbeaten League run and meanest defensive record in the division to a club in turmoil.
Instead, Murray managed to quickly galvanise his troops and bring out of them a performance so many fans had longed to see.
Gone was the direct football Cox had favoured, players instead encouraged to express themselves within a 4-3-3 framework and, although they tired, the Stags fully deserved their three points which were celebrated by a deafening din from the stands.
Match winner on the day was Crewe loanee Vadaine Oliver, netting his first goal for the club on 45 minutes.
Ironically for the Cox-haters, the goal actually came from one of the most direct Mansfield moves of the afternoon as Lee Beevers sent it high and long from the halfway line and Oliver raced on to lob keeper Luke McCormick.
Stags now face a few weeks of uncertainty over the manager's job with Murray clearly hoping to be in the frame on his third spell at the club as a player and also having been Cox's No.2.
But first they must now focus quickly on a tricky FA Cup replay at Concord Rangers on Tuesday night.
Murray tried to appease the frustrated home fans with his first team selection as caretaker manager as he went with wingers and a 4-3-3 formation.
With the club still reeling from the departure of Cox the night before night, Murray made six changes from the side that faced Concord in midweek.
Murray left himself out of the squad to direct operations from the bench.
Keiron Freeman returned to the defence with Jamie Sendles-White joining the midfield as a holding player in front of the defenders along with Simon Heslop.
Rob Taylor and Reggie Lambe were put out on the flanks with Oliver in the centre as the lone striker.
Out from midweek went Murray, Liam Marsden, Fergus Bell, Matt Rhead, Luke Waterfall and Rakish Bingham.
Stags came out to a huge roar which went up several notches when Murray stepped out onto the field to salute the crowd.
The team then made a lively start and inside the first minute, Oliver just couldn't get enough onto a Freeman cross from the right, the ball sailing wide.
Sendles-White then conceded a corner on three minutes which was whipped clear by Tafazolli.
Stags broke from that through Lambe down the right, the winger feeling he was halted illegally just outside the box, but the referee not agreeing.
A good tackle from Clements on Cox won Argyle another corner, from which Beevers blocked a low shot by Cox.
Lambe was causing all sorts of problems on his belated full home debut and, when another run into the box was halted, freeman saw his shot from the loose ball blocked as the home crowd rose to their side's efforts.
Stags were trying to keep the ball down and pass as the crowd wanted and every pass was cheered.
A Plymouth break down the left was a threat on 16 minutes, but Alessandra sent the ball tamely into the sidenetting when he should have at least tested Studer or used the better options to his right in the box.
More good footwork by Alessandra on the left saw his hopeful effort easily blocked.
But on 18 minutes Plymouth should have been ahead. Alessandra sent Kellett to the left by-line and he crossed hard and low right on front of goal where Mellor, from two yards, somehow failed to hit the gaping net as his finished skewed up and against the crossbar.
On 23 minutes Reid cut in from the left and got in a low shot on target which was never likely to seriously trouble Studer.
At the other end Mellor did well to slide in and halt Taylor as he drew back a leg to shoot.
Cox was lucky not to be booked for chopping down Lambe as Stags tried to break.
Taylor was then too high from 30 yards for the home side but drew warm applause for his attempt.
On another swift home break, Oliver roamed into the middle where he saw his powerful shot blocked.
Then on 36 minutes after more good home possession football, Lambe controlled just outside the box and lifted a dipping effort over the top.
Seconds later Oliver headed over from an inviting left wing cross by Taylor.
There was a stoppage in the action as Oliver needed treatment for a bang to the head.
A right wing cross by Freeman saw Oliver get a head onto it, but it was deflected wide for a corner that McCormick got his hands to and pushed away.
On 43 minutes Lambe cut in from the right and tried his luck, the ball clipping a Plymouth player en route and forcing McCormick to save to his right.
However, for all the good passing football, Stags roared ahead via route one right on 45 minutes.
Beevers, under pressure, hoisted a high ball forward from the halfway line.
Oliver got the better of his marker and, with the keeper fractionally late coming out to meet him, the Crewe loanee was able to lift the ball to perfection over the stranded goalie and into the empty net to prompt deafening celebrations and end a magnificent half for the new-look Stags.
It was only the 10th goal Plymouth had conceded in the League this season.
There was anger among home fans when, in Plymouth's first raid of the second half, Reid tried to bring down a through ball with his hand. Once play had stopped, the referee went across and booked the player.
Stags almost doubled their lead on 56 minutes as an Oliver nod-down set up Clements in the box, but his finish sailed over the far angle.
Nelson slid in with a great challenge to stop Taylor poking a loose ball in the net after Clements had tried to set up Lambe on 62 minutes as Mansfield continued to set the pace.
Oliver tried to make kicking difficult for McCormick and, when the keeper pulled him to the ground after clearing, the striker was livid as the assistant referee gave nothing.
Oliver took his revenge soon after on 67 minutes as he bounced into the keeper seconds after he had grabbed the ball, sparking a pushing match which ended with Oliver and Hartley being booked.
Stags threw on Bell for Taylor and Argyle made a double swap before we restarted play.
On 72 minutes Oliver was again up well to head on for Lambe to control and rifle in a low shot that McCormick got down to hold.
A Plymouth raid down the left saw Studer have to palm away a Kellett shot from a tight angle with Reid's follow-up blocked as trouble broke out behind that goal with stewards and Argyle fans brawling, police quickly restoring order.
A dangerous ball into the home box saw the ball roll loose until Clements slid in to make a crucial interception.
Plymouth were starting to enjoy a better spell and 10 minutes from time Mellor flashed a low shot across the face of goal from deep on the right.
Then Riley produced a great block to prevent Smalley getting in a shot in the six yard box.
Before the corner could be taken, Rhead replaced Clements for the home side.
There was huge tension as Plymouth kept possession, ended only when Alessandra crossed into Studer's hands.
Stags did get out their half on 84 minutes as Rhead headed on for Oliver to crash a low shot into the sidenetting.
Mellor was calling for a penalty after he careered into Beevers but the referee was having none of, neither was the asisstant, who was well placed close by.
Four tense minutes were added at the end with Lambe booked for a trip in the last of them.
But fans almost took the roof off with the cheer as the whistle went to mark a long-awaited victory.

Mansfield Town 1 Plymouth Argyle 0: Match report
By HeraldSport, By Chris Errington
PLYMOUTH Argyle suffered their first defeat in League Two for eight games as they were beaten by managerless Mansfield at Field Mill on Saturday.

The only goal came on the stroke of half-time as on-loan Crewe Alexandra striker Vadaine Oliver capitalised on some uncharacteristically sloppy defending from the Pilgrims.
Oliver was unchallenged as he raced in behind centre-back Carl McHugh and lobbed the ball over 'keeper Luke McCormick.
The visitors should have taken the lead in the 18th minute but wing-back Kelvin Mellor hit the crossbar with a shot from only a couple of yards out.
Mansfield were buoyed by scoring so close to half-time and scrapped for every ball in the second period.
Argyle did apply some late pressure after a trio of substitutions but they could not come up with an equaliser.
It was the first time they had lost in League Two since they were beaten 1-0 at Accrington Stanley on September 27.
Argyle's team against Mansfield was the same as for their 3-0 victory over Portsmouth at Home Park last Saturday.
Versatile attacker Jason Banton was added to the substitutes after recovering from a knee injury.
But it was all change for Mansfield, who parted company with manager Paul Cox late on Friday afternoon.
Adam Murray, the 33-year-old Stags' midfielder, was appointed as caretaker boss as Cox paid the price for a run of nine games without a win.
After such a hectic build-up to the match, Murray did not name himself in the starting line-up.
There were six changes from Mansfield's 1-1 draw at home to part-timers Concord Rangers in the FA Cup first round on Tuesday.
Murray also ditched Cox's usual 3-5-2 formation and went with 4-3-3 instead.
Reggie Lambe and Ryan Taylor were tasked with countering the threat of Argyle's wing-backs Andy Kellett and Mellor as well as getting into good attacking positions themselves.
There was a vibrant mood among the Mansfield supporters at the kick-off after the raft of changes on and off the pitch.
The home team matched that as they made a high-tempo, enthusiastic start.
Lambe was particularly lively, making some strong breaks wide on the right, and on one occasion Anthony O'Connor had to make a good tackle on him in the Argyle box.
The visitors had their first scoring chance in the 16th minute and it fell to Lewis Alessandra.
Midfielder Dominic Blizzard opened up the Mansfield defence with a superb pass and Alessandra fired wide from a tight angle.
There was an even better opportunity for Argyle soon afterwards as Kellett surged into the Stags' penalty area at pace.
Kellett got to the by-line and sent in a low cross which found Mellor but from only a couple of yards out he hit the ball against the crossbar and Mansfield cleared.
Mansfield 'keeper Sascha Studer then tipped away a fierce angled shot from Kellett for a corner as the Pilgrims had a good spell of pressure, without scoring.
The home side finished the first half strongly, though, with Lambe having a fierce cross-shot saved by McCormick before Oliver put them ahead in the 45th minute.
It was a very soft goal for Argyle to concede as the ball was played over the top of the defence by Beevers for Oliver to chase after.
The on-loan Crewe striker outpaced McHugh and lobbed the ball over McCormick and into the net.
The half-time whistle soon followed and Mansfield had all of the momentum behind them.
Argyle striker Reuben Reid was booked for deliberate handball in the 51st minute as he tried to get on the end of a long pass out of defence from Curtis Nelson.
There was lots of endeavour from both sides but not much in the way of end product as the Stags remained 1-0 up.
Mansfield midfielder Chris Clements did have a chance in the 56th minute but, at full stretch, he sent a shot wide of the far post.
Mellor then had to make a superb sliding tackle on Taylor in the penalty area otherwise he would have had a shot from close range.
Mansfield defended strongly and with their one-goal lead they were worked hard to stop the Pilgrims from passing the ball.
There was a flashpoint in the 67th minute when Oliver charged into McCormick as the ball bounced through to the Argyle 'keeper.
Players from both teams raced to the scene and Argyle centre-back Peter Hartley was especially upset by Oliver's challenge.
When calm was finally restored, Hartley and Oliver were both booked by referee Mark Brown.
McHugh and O'Connor made way for Ollie Norburn and Deane Smalley in the 68th minute as Argyle tried a change of tactics.
Off the pitch, there were skirmishes involving a small group of away supporters and stewards, with police eventually arriving to calm the situation.
Banton was a 76th minute substitute for Blizzard as Argyle started to apply some pressure, with Reid driving the ball across the face of goal.
Reid later picked out Smalley with a low cross but his attempted shot was blocked behind for a corner by excellent Mansfield centre-back Martin Riley.
It was frenetic stuff in the closing stages as Argyle tried to come up with an equaliser but Mansfield stood firm until the final whistle.

The Texas Lemon Law is a state law that helps consumers who buy or lease new motor vehicles and have repeated problems getting their vehicles properly repaired. The Lemon Law can help a consumer get the vehicle repurchased, replaced or repaired. It can be less complicated and less expensive than going to court.
The law was enacted by the Texas Legislature in 1983. A court challenge stalled enforcement of the law, but in 1985, a federal appeals court upheld its validity. In Texas, the Lemon Law is administered by the Texas Department of Transportation`s Motor Vehicle Division and its Motor Vehicle Board.
Through mediation and formal hearings allowed under the law, the Motor Vehicle Division has helped resolve many complaints. From 1988 to 1997, the division processed 12,282 complaints. In 1997, the division received 1,291 written complaints and held 182 hearings on complaints that were not resolved informally. In about half the cases heard in 1997, consumers received either replacement, repurchase or repair of their vehicles, or some other appropriate relief.
In 1991, the Legislature changed the Lemon Law to benefit more consumers. The time period for filing a complaint and the definition of a lemon were expanded, and consumers may now be reimbursed for certain incidental expenses. Now, a disclosure notice accompanying any vehicle repurchased or replaced under the Lemon Law is also required.
In 1997, the Legislature added towable recreational vehicles (TRVs) to the Lemon Law. Besides being made primarily for temporary human habitation, TRVs must:

Here I am at Kingston and St Georges midwifery conference, 2018. Today there will be ten talks and events exploring the concept 'I Have a Voice' and I'll be reporting on each of them in 'Notes of Midwifery Voices'.
Kati Edwards is a doula and spoken word poet and in this section of the conference she shared her part in the BBC documentary 'Childbirth All or Nothing'.
She told me at the beginning of the conference that she finds this talk hard because it's an emotional, intimate subject, so thanks for this Kati.
I've included the documentary here for you to watch, it's a great exploration of four women with very different birth stories.
Kati had a homebirth in this documentary, as with her first baby. She used hynobirth techniques. But at the beginning of her first pregnancy, she had her impression of birth from her Mum and from her secondary school biology education, which involved lots of screaming. As she said, this was 'an effective contraception'.
She went on a bit of a crazy journey in pregnancy which took her through 'One Born Every Minute' and all the fear this program can induce, towards finding home birth as an option.
Check out her part in the documentary.
We'd love to hear from you - are you here at the conference? What was the most insightful thing you learnt from Kati's birth journey?
Or what was the best thing you learnt from this documentary and the four woman's journeys – leave a comment below!

My husband and I have always enjoyed reading. Even before having our kids, we each had a vast collection of children's literature. He tended to choose books based on their artistic appeal (being an artist) and I on the whimsical story lines.
It seemed only natural for us that as we began having kids, they also be exposed to the wonderful world of the printed word. From the minute they were born, they became used to watching me read while nursing. As they grew older they would sit on our laps and listen to us read for hours on end. Now it is a pleasure to watch them eagerly search our home and local library, scouring the shelves for books they have yet to explore.
Today as we signed up for yet another Summer Reading Program, it was a joy to see my babies' eyes light up and anticipate what the summer holds. I cherish these moments with my little ones and hope that they look back on their youthful reading with fondness, as my husband and I do.
If you have yet to share the wonderful world of books with your children, you don't know what you are missing. It is never to late to start. Find your local library and sign up for their Summer Reading Program. Grab a cart full of books and begin a journey you will not regret. The time you spend reading both on your own and with your child will not be wasted or forgotten; your children will grow in wisdom, imagination, and in heart. You will see your relationships bloom and grow while you talk about all the amazing things you read.
Reading is a key element in life. So, pick up a good book and see where it takes you!

Basic Guide To Online Clothes Shopping For Men
Shopping clothes for men can be a very tricky business, especially if he is doing the shopping himself. The bitter truth is there are few men around who are style conscious and can dress up to suit the occasion and their looks and still remain comfortable. In most cases, they just end up buying the first thing that comes in front of them. The situation worsens when the shopping is carried out online. The number of choices, combinations and accessory options that the online shopping avenue provides are enough to baffle even the most fashionable girl.

Your designer shirts, formal shirts, https://dadsdoitbest.com/ t shirt for men or even boy shirts should always be of the latest fashion.

It is best to go with those offering you a one-stop shopping trip.
Men's clothing often tends to be costlier than women's. Branded t shirt and shirts for men can be pretty expensive, but this does not mean you should buy the first thing you find.

The Charity Commission has launched a formal investigation into a south London mosque where leaflets calling for members of a minority Muslim sect to be murdered were allegedly found.
In April, leaflets calling for the murder of members of the Ahmadiyya sect – a minority group which many Muslims consider heretical – were allegedly found in Stockwell Green mosque.
The leaflets apparently said Ahmadis must convert to mainstream Islam within three days or face "the capital punishment", meaning death. The mosque has denied they were responsible for the leaflets and claimed that they may have been left there maliciously to discredit them.
But the commission announced on Wednesday that it had launched a statutory inquiry into the charity that runs the mosque, Aalami Majlise Tahaffuze Khatme Nubuwwat.
In a statement the regulator said it had carried out monitoring visits to the mosque in May and July and had found wider serious regulatory concerns which had prompted the formal inquiry.
It said: "The visits identified serious regulatory concerns regarding how the charity is being managed including indications of poor governance, risks to charity property due to poor financial management and the trustees carrying out activities outside of the charity's stated objectives."

Analysis by PMOI/MEK
Iran, June 14, 2019 - Following U.S. sanctions against the Iranian regime's largest and most profitable petrochemical companies for their connections with the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), al-Hayat daily cited revelations made by the Iranian opposition coalition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).
"Petrochemical industry serving IRGC terrorism and Iranian intelligence" is the title of a June 9 al-Hayat article citing NCRI revelations. The Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) is the mullahs' main intel/spying apparatus.
"The NCRI, long calling for a full oil and arms embargo on Iran, says Tehran relies on profits from its oil and petrochemical product sales to financially fuel its terrorism and warmongering. The petrochemical branch consists of numerous companies working to provide the regime's annual budget. The large majority of the petrochemical industry is under the control of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). Various petrochemical experts inside Iran are estimating that 90 percent of the petrochemical industry is controlled by Khamenei himself.
The "Setad Ejraiye Farmane Hazrate Emam" – Headquarters for Executing the Order of the Imam – is active under Khamenei's direct supervision. From 1999 forward, [Iran] established a firm by the name of the Tadbir Economic Development Group, consisting of a large number of petrochemical companies and has control over a large portion of Iran's petrochemical industry.
The Persian Gulf Petrochemical Company is known as Iran's largest petrochemical complex and the most profitable. This company is in charge of providing the funding necessary to the IRGC's financial arm, known as Fort Khatam. This is the largest IRGC financial institution.
The Persian Gulf Petrochemical Company is the largest holding company in Iran, consisting of 15 petrochemical firms. This company was launched back in 1991 under a different name and as a subsidiary of the National Iranian Petrochemical Company. According to a 2009 Majlis (parliament) resolution, the Persian Gulf Petrochemical Company, receiving shares of other petrochemical companies, became a holding firm controlling around 40 percent of the country's petrochemical industry.
Iraq was the endpoint of a large portion of Iran's ordered petrochemical products in 2018 while transportation documents cite Turkey or other countries. This allows Iranian regime exporters to claim exports to Iraq were in the Iranian currency, the rial, and transfer only a portion of the profits to Iran in rials, while the main profits are held in foreign banks and used to fuel Tehran's terrorism drive.
Al-Hayat also published a list of petrochemical companies and groups active under Khamenei and the IRGC. These companies were previously unveiled by the NCRI.

Spotlight on Max Denton
September 18, 2018
Get to know Max Denton, one of our Toronto Buyers!
Question: When did you join the Baylis team?
Answer: I joined Baylis on June 20, 2016.
Q: Where did you work and what was your role before joining Baylis?
A: I was a fresh grad out of university, so this is my first job. I was in McMaster University's first-ever graduating class for the Supply Chain and Purchasing Management program. I did do some summer work for an IT firm called Advanced Knowledge Networks, where I did a lot of project management and purchasing.
Q: What's your day-to-day role at Baylis?
A: I do all the indirect purchasing for the company out of Mississauga. From computers for staff, to R&D prototype materials, and everything in between. The only thing I don't touch are raw material purchases.
The most interesting part of the job for me is procuring capital equipment; buying a big-ticket item and negotiating with the vendor to meet Baylis' needs at a price point that's mutually beneficial to both us and the supplier. That's the key to a good long-term relationship with a supplier.
Engineers will come to me with a request for whatever equipment they need. Sometimes they don't yet have a clear picture of what it is they're looking for, but they're involving me early in the process so that I can start building relationships with the vendors. From there, I work with our engineers to narrow down exactly what we're looking for, and then work with the supplier to negotiate things like pricing and warranty terms. Once that's done and an agreement is in place, the engineers will present it to the managers. Once the project is approved, I normally do one last push with the supplier to see if I can get the price even lower, and then create the purchase order and submit it to the supplier.
A recent negotiation I led was for the extrusion lab, which was a six-month negotiation process with the supplier. It was probably the most stressful but fun negotiation I've ever been part of.
Q: What is it about Baylis and its mandate that motivates you to come into work every day?
A: It's the fact that we are moving medicine forward. Being heavily involved with R&D purchasing, I get to see the advances we make in medical technology before they hit the market. Once they are in market, it's a great feeling knowing that I played a role in ensuring that these new devices will help save lives.
Q: What's your favourite part of working at Baylis?
A: My team. The supply chain team is like a little family. We all work together, we help each other out, especially when crises come up.
For Baylis as a whole, the fact that we're growing and expanding so rapidly makes working here exciting. It allows me to show off my purchasing knowledge and talent because we are always adding new tools or production capital. It's also beneficial in terms of career development, since we get to learn new things and experience parts of the business we normally wouldn't be exposed to.
Q: What do you like to do in your spare time?
A: I volunteer as one of the head coaches for the North York Gladiators, a hockey team for athletes with special needs. We were
recently featured
on Hockey Day in Canada. I've been volunteering with them over the course of 10 years now.
Working with athletes with special needs really improves your communication skills. It teaches you to put yourself in other people's shoes and to try to understand things from someone else's perspective. It teaches you patience on the coaching side, but you also learn it by watching these players try to learn certain moves, and then finally succeed after so many tries.
It's rewarding personally, but I've picked up skills that translate so well into my work at Baylis, especially during negotiations. It got me into the habit of trying to see things from the opposing negotiator's perspective, so that we can achieve a solution that works for both sides.
Speed round
Favourite colour?
Favourite snack?
Peanut butter and jam bagels.
Favourite sport?
Biggest pet peeve?
I have two. One is slow play on the golf course, where some people will take seven or eight practice swings, then step up to the ball and shank it yards into the water. Did you really need those multiple practice swings? Second is bad drivers.
If you could, in which store would you max out your credit card?
Golf Town.
What's the last show you binge-watched?
House of Cards.
What is/would be your go-to karaoke song?
Bad Medicine by Bon Jovi.
If you could go back in time to witness one event in the past, what would it be?
The 1997 Masters, when Tiger Woods became the first African-American to win. This was a club where you really didn't see African-Americans play the game. So, when he won, there was a huge shift where it was no longer viewed as a white man's sport. Everyone can play it.
What do you like on your pizza?
Bacon and red peppers.
