It would never happen to me
Growing up my life was just like everyone elses' , I lived with my mom, my dad and my younger brother. My brother and I spent our days playing together outside with the various toys our mom and dad bought for us. We would spend alot of our time with our Grandpa and Grandma as well, as my parents worked to support our family. We would spend days outside in the garden with Grandma or afternoon's in the garage building things with our Grandpa. Grandpa would also often take us for walks at the graveyard, he loved to go there. He also took us on road trips just outside of town, just because. Our life was pretty simple. As I started to get older I started to notice that the other kids didn't accept me like they did everyone else because I didn't conform to what they wanted me to be. They wouldn't include me in there friendship circles, they would make fun of me, they would call me ugly. I felt alone. As I entered highschool my mom only made this reality worse. She told me girls in highschool were to wear makeup to be accepted, and dress a certain way to be accepted. I believed her. As I entered highschool I conformed but I still wasn't accepted and had very limited friends and often found it hard to even fit in with them. I felt alone, even more alone then ever. I pushed through my days. When I was in eleventh grade my dad suffered a work related injury at work. He slipped a disk in his back and was in pain 24 hours a day. The family started to feel the effects of his suffering. He was often moody and irritable. My mom and dad started to fight alot as a result. My mom would most often end up in tears it was painful to see her struggle. I tried running away but she always tried her best to make things better for me but all she cared about was making him happy so he wouldn't yell and be emotionally abusive towards us and towards her. I continued to push through the pain I felt inside. I found a release in cutting myself, it felt like the pain could escape through my wounds. I started to notice that almost every time we had a family gathering Alcohol was present. Everyone almost always had a can of beer or a cooler in there hand. But I was to caught up in being a teenager to even notice it was a problem. I was introduced to Alcohol at the age of 14 when I was told it was okay to drink small amounts during holidays. I started to drink casually at parties. And occasionally come home intoxicated. My dad ended up having surgery on his back injury. The pain progressed he started taking opiates, oxycotin and morphine to manage the pain and became dependent on them. I watched him go down hill. I saw him passing out, throwing up, cold sweats, he was moody, irritable, and unmanageable. We started to struggle as a family. He often had psychotic melt downs where he would threaten us, threaten his own life but my mom would do everything and anything to make him happy and try and prevent this but most times it was unpreventable. He threatened suicide. It was so hard to handle for me. I wanted to take my own life. I went to the hospital they dismissed my pain and sent me home. I pushed through again. Smoking weed to cope. My dad was also smoking weed, as a form of self medication. He went off the opiates. I started to feel immense pain inside. I was depressed. Anxious. And often would have panic attacks. I smoked more and more. Eventually I realized I had a problem. I checked myself into a local detox but left 3 days later because I noticed unbearable abdominal pain. I had to have emergency gallbladder surgery. I was sober for 2 months, and started smoking again. I started a new position at work. My new manager didn't help me adjust to my new surroundings, equipment or job. I struggled. I smoked more and more. My manager told me she was moving away. I was left to run a store I barely knew anything about. I worked long hours and was sent a new employee to train despite being barely trained myself. My regional manager called me, he promised to come help me soon. But before long, I recieved a phone call that he was fired. I was alone. I felt alone. I had breakdowns at work. Panic attacks. I was depressed. I wanted to end my life. I was losing my mind. I couldn't sleep. I was constantly sick to my stomach. I smoked more and more. I went to the hosptial again. They admitted me to the psychiatric ward. I was accessed for 30-days. I got proper medication for my depression. I was diagnosed as bi-polar. I saw an addictions worker. I was given a date for residential treatment. I completed 30-days. I attend regular AA and NA meetings in my communitiy.

Sherman Suits Up
By Ben Grossman
After two years as president of Bad Robot, the production company behind ABC hits Alias and Lost, Thom Sherman has returned to the world of the suits. The former ABC executive is now heading up drama development for the new CW network. But while Sherman may be working at a network again, he is in no hurry to dress like it. "I've been wearing a T-shirt every day for the last two years," Sherman says. "We'll see how long the streak lasts."
Sherman is far from casual about his prospects at The CW, which launches Sept. 18 with a primetime slate drawn from the soon-to-shutter WB and UPN networks. In the two years since he left ABC, network television has been revivified not only by the addition of two new networks but by the emergence of new-media and distribution platforms. And Sherman relishes the challenge of helping to build a network from the ground up.
"It's a chance to be part of how TV will be defined for the next five to 10 years," he says.
Sherman arrived in Los Angeles in 1988, intending to be an actor after studying theater at the University of California in San Diego. But a chance encounter with a customer at the rental-car agency where he worked led to a job as production assistant on Lifestories, an NBC series dramatizing medical crises of ordinary people, in September 1990. The show didn't make it to Christmas.
"Welcome to Hollywood," he laughs.
A gig as a writer's assistant on the Stephen J. Cannell show Palace Guard didn't last either, but Sherman soon landed a job shadowing late producer David Peckinpah through four seasons of USA Network detective series Silk Stalkings. He made three appearances on the show, but by 1995, Sherman had abandoned acting for the executive track.
He worked briefly as an assistant in creative affairs at NBC Productions before joining ABC as manager of drama development in 1996, rapidly rising to head of the department three years later.
After five lackluster seasons running drama development at ABC, Sherman played a pivotal role in developing Lost and Desperate Housewives, the two shows that would reverse the struggling network's fortunes in the fall of 2004.
But the February before the shows hit the air, Lloyd Braun, then ABC Entertainment co-chairman, told him that Lost creator J.J. Abrams wanted Sherman to run his production company, Bad Robot. Braun thought he should take the job.
"I had been there for a long time, and we hadn't had a lot of success in drama," Sherman says. "It became clear that I was going to go."
At Bad Robot, he worked on Lost and other projects, including ABC comedy What About Brian and an early version of Six Degrees that was rejected by The WB. (The show has since been reworked for an older audience and is one of ABC's hottest prospects this fall.)
Still, Sherman was restless. "I love producing, but not controlling your own destiny is hard," he says.
Around upfront week last May, CW chief Dawn Ostroff mentioned to her lawyer, Ernie Dell, that the new network needed a head of drama development. Dell suggested Sherman, also a client. Days later, Ostroff and Sherman hit it off over coffee, and a deal soon followed.
Sherman was attracted by the network's mission of programming to the 18-34 demo. "It could be a success or a big failure. Who knows?" he says. "But at least I understand the plan, and it makes sense to me."
Bryan Burk, executive VP of Bad Robot, says Sherman may have had ulterior motives for leaving. "Whatever Thom says, he probably made the move so he could play more golf," Burk laughs. (Sherman admits that his new office is only minutes from the golf course.)
Now intent on building assets for the fledgling CW, Sherman is unsentimental about rejoining the development game.
"Am I looking forward to having to read six scripts when I get home? No," he admits. "But it's part of the gig sometimes."
Just don't ask him to put on a tie.

Title: Couple Dancing Size: 41x31cm Year : 2016 Medium: Graphite on Paper In this particular sketch, Botero appears to explore an element of the human condition relating to the coexistence of men and women. Hands held in a symbolic waltz, Botero draws a diagonal line of symmetry between his two figures as they mirror each other's movements in dance, creating both balance and harmony in the image. While they are similar in both posture and obtuse form, the women's feminity is exemplified by the flowing, rounded patterns of her dress, placed in contrast against the stoic, crisp lines of the man's suit. This along with the seemingly longing glances they cast each other suggests the complementary and co-dependent relationship between all human beings as presented through a silent waltz between man and woman.
Born in 1932 in Medellin, Colombia, Fernando Botero is an artistic living legend of our times. A prolific artist and creator of the signature style 'Boterismo', the artist's rounded musings have made him a global figure in the contemporary art world, and the artistic ambassador of Colombian pursuit. Rounded from convention, distinctive in spite of the commonplace, and tied to Colombian history and heritage - his curvaceous forms have reached monumental heights, and are collected by major museums, corporations and private collectors all over the world, including the United States, Korea, and Mexico City, to name a few.

Peter Enns and 'Myth' in Genesis 1
1 comment:
- Anonymous6/23/2012 2:19 PM
I actually think the author is wrong about something. He seems to think that Enns still believes. However, Enns' rhetoric as of late, and his limp wristed complaining about people being mean to him (which he doesn't do?) have all the marks of an apostate who doesn't want to be found out just yet. My theory is that Enns is a second-rate OT scholar by secular standards (especially), so he can't get a job at a major research institution, so he is waiting for some unsuspecting divinity school to pick him up.ReplyDelete
If his career options fail he will either go completely liberal, or go apostate. They are really the same thing, but his personality will determine whether he rejects Christianity in toto, or decides to keep some trappings to make him acceptable to his friends and colleagues.

Breaking Point, the 8th installment of my SEAL Team Heartbreakers Series, is a novella exploring Langley and Trish Marks' story. It's about marriage in the military and how couples survive the separations, the loneliness, the stress of carrying the load alone and remain together despite it all.
Below is the blurb, the links, and an excerpt. Breaking Point is available for per-order and will be released March 15th, 2017.
After fifteen years of marriage, Trish Marks has hit her breaking point. Her social work caseload has doubled, her son is acting out, and her SEAL husband is never home. Something has to give. When she's shot and nearly killed by an irate husband during a home check, it does.
Navy SEAL Senior Chief Petty Officer Langley Marks is five years away from retirement and his pension. He knows there's trouble in his marriage when he returns home from a deployment to a wife who's distant, overworked, stressed, and unhappy. He's only seen her like this once before, when she nearly died after giving birth to their last child. When she's shot, he re-lives that terrible experience, and feels just as helpless.
But he's not about to fly away and leave her to fight her way back alone this time. He's willing to sacrifice it all to prove to her she's the most important thing in his life. He just has to find a way to make her believe it.
An excerpt:
The house was silent. He wandered through the kitchen into the living room. The hall was dark, and all the bedroom doors were closed.
He stopped at Jessica's room and eased the door open. She lay curled on her bed, her dark hair mussed, and her eyes were red and swollen.
He bypassed Tad's door. He'd save the confrontation with his son for later. In the master bedroom, Trish had several piles of clothing on the floor. She was cleaning out the closet.
He scanned the items and, seeing none of his stuff in the pile, breathed a sigh relief. For a minute he thought she might be tossing him out.
"Anna said there was an issue this morning with Tad."
"He slammed Jessica's camera onto the floor as hard as he could and broke it. She took a picture of him after he got out of the shower dressed in a towel, and he was enraged."
She ran her fingers through her short cap of hair. He liked the new cut. It left her slender neck bare, and every time she turned her back, he wanted to press a kiss to that vulnerable, tender spot at her nape.
"Jess cried herself to sleep. And he's not the least bit sorry."
"I'll go in and talk to him."
"I've never seen him like this, Langley. He's short-tempered, surly, and the way he broke the camera, it was violent." He read worry and hurt in her expression.
Langley reached for her, and she came into his arms. She laid her head against his shoulder like she was exhausted. "There's something going on with him, Langley."
He debated whether or not to pile more on, or just offer comfort. But if they didn't face what was going on between them…
"There's something going on with us, and he knows it. Talk to me, Trish."
She went completely still against him. "It won't do either of us any good to say the words out loud. Because there's nothing either of us can do or say to change things."
"Venting might help you."
"We'll just come right back to where we are, because there's no way of changing things. We're both locked into our paychecks, and we have to have the money."
Shocked, he was silent for a long moment. "You want to quit your job?"
"Yes, I do. They've doubled our caseloads, and I can barely breathe at work. The girls are good, but I can't give enough attention to Tad. He clearly resents me, and I don't understand why."
"It isn't you he resents, Trish. It's me. I just got back three weeks ago, and I'm already back to work. You're just an easier target because you're here and I'm not."
She leaned back to look up at him. "What do you plan to do about that?"
"The only thing I can. Talk to him." He'd never laid a hand on any of his kids but… "Unless you'd rather I spank his ass for breaking the camera."
Her eyes widened at the suggestion. "No. Of course not. I've already worked out a punishment. He has to work off the cost of another camera, and he can't have his X-box controls back until he does."
He pushed a little. "It isn't just the kids, is it?"
"No. It's—everything, Langley. I'm tired of dealing with everything alone." She flinched and closed her eyes. "I know that doesn't sound like a SEAL's good little wife, but Tad is wearing me down. Short of locking him in his room and sliding his food under the door, I don't know what else to do."
"I'll talk to him. See if I can't encourage an attitude adjustment."
"Thank you. I have to go to work." She pulled away and grabbed her purse.
This wedge between them refused to budge. "I love you, Trish. I know some of the guys I've been teamed with in the past weren't always faithful, but I've never strayed. You're the only woman I want. I don't want to lose you."
"I don't want us to lose each other, Langley. But I can't be three-quarters of a whole anymore."
Ouch, that hurt, more than a little.
"You have to find a way to pull your weight with your son. I can't do it alone anymore."
He followed her through the house to the front door while she collected her daily planner from the small office at the front of the house. She turned at the front door to look back at him.
"How long are you going to have to work weekends?" he asked.
"I don't know. I wish I could say this wasn't the new norm, but working five days a week just doesn't cut it. I have to do four home visits today, because it's the only time the parents are home for me to speak to them."
He nodded. "Be careful, Trish."
"I will." She picked up a sweater draped over the back of the couch and slipped it on.
He caught her arm when she started out the door. There had to be some physical contact between them. It was all he had right now. "I like the new haircut. It leaves that sweet spot right back here free." He brushed his fingertips down her neck. "I want to kiss you there every time I'm behind you." He bent his head and demonstrated, taking his time, and was rewarded when she shivered.
She turned to look over her shoulder at him, her pale blue eyes, scanning his face. "Talk to Tad and see if you can make some headway with him." She gripped his chin, rose on tiptoe and kissed him. "I may ask you do that again tonight."
He grinned and caught back a sigh of relief. At least she was still open to his sexual overtures. But then they'd always had a strong physical connection. When he was home. "I'm on it. I promise."
She nodded, opened the door and strode down the front steps. Once behind the wheel, and noticing him still standing at the door watching her, she threw up a hand in a small wave.
He closed the door. It was time to deal with Tad. Right now. And if it took lighting up his son's ass, he'd do it. He wouldn't like it, but he'd do it.-->

This is a small project gone on far too long. We could have
done the whole thing in an hour. Instead, it took us months!
I'm glad it's done now. Thought I'd share...
Guest bath BEFORE
The hardware color is a great match, but I didn't like the
style. It looked like a branch with little leaves on it. And
the posters, in non-matching frames, are over a decade old.
Time to retire them to the garage!
D installed the hardware last week...
Cabinet doors got a little love, too.
New wall hangings! I found these at the Chandler Artists
Guild sale down the street. They're color pencil drawings
done by Veronica Francis, a lovely woman.
Lindsay gave me these cute little cacti!
They look perfect in the window.
Threw a hook on the back of the door
and moved the hand towel bar closer to the sink.
View from the door.
So, it's not a major remodel by any means.
Just a touch up. I'm hoping to get inspired
to paint in there at some point, too.
Alright, time to take the dogs out to play ball!
Wishes to you for a happy Sunday.

Xi Calls For 'New Long March' In Dramatic Sign That China Is Preparing For Protracted Trade War
Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for the nation to embark on a new Long March and "start all over again", in the most dramatic sign to date that Beijing has given up hope of reaching a trade deal with the United States in the near term. Xi is in Jiangxi province for his first domestic tour since the escalation of the trade war two weeks ago. Jiangxi is where China's defeated Red Army started its fabled Long March in 1934.

text: The transactional perspective is very attractive in order to analyze and intervene in public space on neighborhood scale. However, language and methodological differences between the various disciplines involved make it quite complex. In this article we present a multi-method qualitative strategy of analysis, integrating various results graphically, in an attempt to bring together the graphic and textual languages that dominate single-discipline approaches of public space. Diverse techniques were triangulated and underwent the same analytical process (Grounded Theory), supported by Atlas / ti and Arcgis software. Using this techniques it was possible to link graphic aspects (maps and images) with comments from researchers and biographical accounts of the participants. So, specific physical spaces were associated with the development and construction of spatial meanings and uses.

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — A student at Charlie Lake Elementary School is going to be getting his hair cut Friday for the first time in five months to help cancer patients in Fort St. John and Dawson Creek.
Landon Tolsma, who turns 11 on Sunday, has been growing his hair since October and will be getting it all shaved off tomorrow to raise money for Peace Region residents battling cancer, one of whom is very dear to him. Landon's mother Jackie Tolsma said her mom Suzanne Sutherland has been battling lung cancer since her diagnosis five years ago.
Tolsma said that her mom was told that her hair might fall out during her most recent round of chemotherapy, which it did after several treatments. Sutherland then made the choice to shave her hair while continuing the treatment. While his family was shopping for scarves for his grandma, Landon found out that the cancer ward at the Dawson Creek Hospital didn't provide scarves to cancer patients, and wanted to help raise money for the cause.
Community Interviews with Moose FM
Tolsma said her son began the fundraising campaign nearly 3 weeks ago with a goal of $1,500. But, as of Thursday morning the 10 year-old has raised an astonishing $10,600. The donations will be divided between the Dawson Creek Chemotherapy Unit to purchase scarves or other essentials, and the Fort St. John Cancer Society to go towards the purchase of a vein viewer along with scarves and essentials.
According to Tolsma, her son's hair has grown to seven inches in length, but it will all be getting shaved off during lunchtime at the school on Friday. She added that Landon will be continuing the fundraiser until March 31st. To donate to the campaign, contact Jackie Tolsma by phone or email email@example.com.

As Canada's only women's university, Brescia University College had an embarrassing gap in its pay practices. While two-thirds of their faculty is female, the highest proportion in the country, they earned the second lowest salaries in Ontario at the time. It was time for this institution to lead by example in ending discriminatory pay practices.
The local Faculty Association, with support from their larger provincial office, first found that the University had shown a financial surplus for over five years, making it clear a fair pay is within the institution's budget. It was time to launch a campaign to ask Brescia to put their employees first, commit to equal pay for equal work and take a lead in closing the gender wage gap.
The Faculty Association and provincial branch led a focused and effective letter writing campaign to urge the university board to take action. Working with under a month timeline, New/Mode engagement tools helped them generate essential letters of support.
The small association generated almost 600 letters demanding action in just one week, letting them know the issue was important to their community. Thanks to pressure from faculty association supporters, a strike was avoided. As a result, a new agreement was ratified by the board of the institution and Brescia's wages were brought in line with their peers.

Question of Palestine home
About UNISPAL

United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR)
16 April 2010
16 April 2010
GENEVA – The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay on Friday urged the de facto Gaza authorities not to carry out further executions and to abolish the use of the death penalty. During the night of 14 to 15 April, two prisoners accused of "crimes" associated with the occupation of Palestine by the Government of Israel were executed in Gaza.
"I am deeply concerned by the executions, and the possibility that some others might be carried out soon", said the High Commissioner. "It is extremely disappointing that Hamas has now returned to the use of the death penalty, despite the fact that no officially sanctioned death sentences have been carried out in Gaza since 2000."
The High Commissioner said she was alarmed by unconfirmed reports that several more prisoners may be executed soon. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has received information that on Wednesday Hamas authorities called the families of a number of individuals sentenced to death, saying that they could make their last visit to their sons. It is believed that the two people who were executed were part of this group of prisoners.
On 24 March, the de facto authorities in Gaza made public the decision to carry out the execution of several alleged criminals. Four days later, they announced that a process to ratify such death sentences had been initiated, notwithstanding applicable law that requires all such sentences to be ratified by the president of the Palestinian Authority.
"I call on Hamas to reconsider its position and exhibit respect for the international community's firm rejection of the death penalty, to abolish its use in Gaza, and to fully uphold and promote the right to life", said Ms. Pillay, referring to a widely supported 2007 United Nations General Assembly resolution, which calls for a worldwide moratorium on executions.
Furthermore, the High Commissioner emphasized that under international human rights law,* the right to life is protected, and the use of the death penalty is restricted to the most serious crimes under extremely limited circumstances.
"One absolute restriction is that the death penalty can only be imposed after observing fair trial guarantees in duly constituted courts, which is practically impossible in current circumstances in Gaza", said Ms. Pillay. "For that reason, I urge Hamas to halt all further planned executions."
The United Nations Human Rights chief, who strongly supports the clear global trend towards the abolition of the death penalty, said she welcomed the current draft law under consideration by the Palestinian Authority, which seeks to abolish capital punishment.

Play Ball: Common Baseball Injuries
Opening day is on the horizon and baseball season is about to be in full swing — But, with baseball season comes game-related injuries. Whether a player is swinging hard at a fast ball, or sliding into second base, hand and wrist injuries are common and vary in severity.
"The most common injuries we see are hamate hook fractures and mallet injuries, says T. Greg Sommerkamp MD, a hand surgeon with TriHealth Hand Surgery Specialists.
Common Injuries: Hamate Hook Fractures and Mallet Injuries
Hamate hook fractures occur in the hamate bone in the wrist, and are common in racket and club sports, as well as baseball. "If you had a multiple choice question asking for the most common hand and/or and wrist injury in baseball, it would be a hamate hook fracture," Dr. Sommerkamp explains.
When a player is at bat, during the follow-through on the swing, the butt end of the bat handle can strike the hamate hook and shear it off. With prompt surgical excision, players can be back in the lineup in four weeks or less.
"This is especially common in the minor leagues," Dr. Sommerkamp says. "Minor leaguers are working, gutting it out and swinging at nearly anything, so they experience it more than major leaguers."
Mallet injuries, including tendon injuries and fractures, are also common. "They can occur when the ball hits the tip of the finger, causing the tip of the finger to buckle down," Dr. Sommerkamp explains. "Where the ball impacts the finger, there can be a chip fracture at the top of that joint attached to the tendon."
If a player does experience a mallet injury, a majority of the time they are treated with splints — only occasionally do they require surgery.
Additional Injuries
Dr. Sommerkamp explains that catchers experience a lot of impact at the base of the index and middle fingers and into the thumb, and can suffer from vibration white finger, where toward the end of the 7th inning, their fingers are white.
This is caused by vasospasm, or the blood vessels in the fingers shrinking throughout the game due to the pressure of the ball, which reduces blood flow.
Additional injuries can occur when runners slide into a stationary base with their fingers extended out, or when outfielders collide with an outfield wall or fence, causing hand and wrist injuries.
Other common baseball injuries include:
- Scaphoid fractures
- Trapezial ridge fractures
- Middle phalanx fractures
- PIP joint fracture
- Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tear
Injury Prevention
While many injuries are impact related, there are some prevention methods being taken to help reduce injuries. Batting gloves designed with anatomical relief zones in the finger flexion creases, lead to no extra muscle work for the forearms and hands when gripping a bat.
For catchers, these gloves offer pressure relief pads in high impact zones, helping not only prevent, but rehab injuries as well.

Introduction to the NDIS
7th February 2018
Most people will be aware that the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has been 'rolling out' in South Australia for adults aged 18 - 64 years since July 2017.
The Northern Territory NDIS rollout will begin in January 2017, firstly in Darwin with people in supported accommodation and East Arnhem. For more information about when the NDIS will come to your location visit the NDIS website.
The NDIS will fund reasonable and necessary supports that help NDIS participants reach their goals, objectives and aspirations. Supports are funded in a range of areas, e.g. education, employment, socialising, independence, living arrangements and health and wellbeing.
People with a disability will have direct access to money, through the creation of an annual plan, to fund the supports they need to live life and achieve their goals. Participants will have control of their daily lives, including; their choice of provider, therapist, type of supports and social and recreational needs.
Who can access NDIS?
A participant must meet the following criteria:
- Have a permanent disability that significantly affects your ability to take part in everyday activities
- Be aged less than 65 when you first access the scheme
- Be an Australian citizen, live in Australia and hold a permanent visa or hold a Protected Special Category visa
The participant's disability must meet the following criteria:
- Have an impairment or condition that is likely to be permanent
- The impairment substantially reduces your ability to participate effectively in activities, or perform tasks or actions
- The impairment affects your capacity for social and economic participation and you are likely to require support under the NDIS for your lifetime
There are many complexities with the implementation of the NDIS and confusion for individuals on how to navigate the new service system. The MS Society is currently working towards becoming NDIS ready and will be developing information resources to ensure you have the right information that will assist you to develop your plan. We are investigating how we can provide supporting evidence for our current clients to facilitate the development of your plan.
Over the next 12 months we will keep you informed about when NDIS local forums and information sessions will be held and support you to access key information.
Planning Workshops
From 1st April 2018 the National Disability Insurance Scheme commences in Western and Eastern Adelaide and the Adelaide Hills.You are invited to come along to hear information, ask your questions and start to plan your support needs.
Thebarton Workshop:
When: Wednesday 14 March, 6.00pm - 8.00pm
Where: Thebarton Community Centre, cnr Ashwin Parade & South Road, Torrensville
Cost: Free to people with MS and their family/carer
RSVP by: Monday 5 March
A light supper will be provided
Glenunga Workshop:
When: Thursday 22 March, 10.30am - 12.30pm
Where: Glenunga Hub, 70 Conyngham Street, Glenunga
Cost: Free to people with MS and their family/carer
RSVP by: Monday 12 March
Morning tea will be provided
These workshops help tackle the important questions.
What does NDIS mean for you?
How do you register and prepare for your planning meeting so that you get the support you need to live an 'ordinary' life?
How do you find the right providers?
What services will the MS Society provide?
How do you manage your NDIS funds?
Please book to attend via MS Assist on 1800 812 311 or firstname.lastname@example.com

We often struggle with life transitions and these changes are frequently what bring people into therapy. It requires a large amount of energy and courage to adapt to a new situation. A move to a new city, state or country, the loss or change of a job or significant relationship, receiving a scary diagnosis or entering a new phase of life can all disrupt our equilibrium and leave us of out of balance. Reaching out for support while we continue on our life journey takes wisdom and courage. On the other-side of each challenging circumstance is the potential for greater insight, new perspective, growth and, ultimately, renewed balance.

I was interested in making the Bottom Bar show different content, depending on which screen of the mobile app is currently being viewed. I used an IF statement to get different output depending on the content of the GetBookmarkableURL() function.
When previwing in a browser, this works as the URL is fully populated:
However, when viewing in the Outsystems Now app, this URL finishes at the ModuleName, and I am unable to get the current page.
Does anyone know how to get the current page being viewed?
Hello Russell,
While the documentation does not explicitely says something, in fact this function does not work as expected (according the documentation).
A possible workaround is to include an input parameter in the block and set it in each page... (like we do with menus in Web).
Don't know if there is another way to "know" (automatically), in wich page you are...
Eduardo Jauch wrote:
Thanks Eduardo. I have created an Input Parameter of CurrentPage in my Bottom Bar block, and in my Privacy Policy Page I have created a Local variable called ThisPage.

Hi Russell,
From what I could see, either on browser (Chrome) or via Outsystems Now or the app itself, the function is working correctly on my end, aside from the initial screen.
When you first access the app via mobile (Outsystems Now or .apk), the URL is presented without the page but after that the function GetBookmarkableURL() works as expected, when you navigate from screen to screen.
Tell me if you are still encountering this issue.
Best regards,
Davide Résio
Davide Résio wrote:
In Chrome it works on HomePage also.
Indeed, in mobile, it retrieves the page name only in "no home page" pages.
Variables in a page are not visible inside the block, and vice-versa. Is that you are running it? Anyway, you can use the GetBookmarkableURL() as it will retrieve pages URL if not the home page, like Davide pointed.
Thank you Eduardo and Davide.
I had my Privacy policy set to be the home screen, so GetBookmarkableURL was indeed not showing the 'name' of the page. After I changed my Default Screen in OutSystems Studio to another screen, the Privacy policy page does show its name at the end of the URL.
It seems that I can work around this by expecting the Home Screen to not show a named URL (only root), and other pages will work as expected, showing the folder/screen name at the end.
Thank you both for helping me to understand this.
You can retrieve the actual screen name, without the input parameters, like so:
Function "GetURLPageIndex" with output parameter "URLPageIndex" =
SyntaxEditor Code Snippet
Index(GetBookmarkableURL(), GetOwnerURLPath()) + Length(GetOwnerURLPath())
Function "GetURLPageLength" with output parameter "URLPageLength" =
If(Index(GetBookmarkableURL(), "?") <> -1, Index(GetBookmarkableURL(), "?") - GetURLPageIndex(), Length(GetBookmarkableURL()) - GetURLPageIndex())
Function "GetURLPageName" with output parameter "URLPageName" =
Substr(GetBookmarkableURL(), GetURLPageIndex(), GetURLPageLength())
There might be a better way to address this issue but with this you can retrieve the screen name using only Outsystems' "default" functions. Also, you can set the names of the aforementioned functions and parameters as you like, those are just an example.
Let me know if this helps.
Davide Résio,
Thanks for this code! I'm looking to do the same thing.I am new to Outsystems and don't know where I can get some arbitrary variables executed/calculated. I tried putting this in several place, but it didn't seem to work.
Can you describe exactly where and what object/property you are placing this code into to get it to work?
Thank you!

We live in the world of start-ups and freelancers. If you want to make it in such a world, you need to be equipped with the necessary skills. Big organizations can afford to have developer, designer, tester etc. roles assigned to different persons. As a freelancer, start-up or small organization, such roles assigned to different persons may be too costly. It is far much more preferable to have a single person who can work comfortably in all of the above roles.
Gone are the days when one needed to know only one language/technology and get away with too. These days, you will need to know more than one language/technology. This is where the full-stack developer comes in.In a nutshell, a full-stack developer is comfortable working in both the back-end and front-end environments.
Let's examine these roles separately.
Back-end developer
Typically, back-end developers are much more focused on what happens on the server-side. This includes writing the code that responds to front-end user requests and interacting with the database. Typically, one will need to know more than one of the following
Programming Languages
The following are some of the languages that you should know.
My favourite poison of the web. PHP is a scripting server-side language. You can use PHP to interact with the database, developer APIs and do a hell lot of things. PHP is open source and almost supported by all hosting environments. This makes it the preferred server-side scripting language.
As a full-stack developer, having knowledge of PHP is almost a must. It is a massive advantage but you will need to prove yourself to your employers or clients. A certification is one of the major ways of proving that.
Zend provides one of the world-wide PHP certification programs. Let's look at some of the certification
- Zend PHP Certification – this certification will make you get recognized as a PHP Developer worldwide. This certification will set you apart from the rest in the eyes of your employers and clients.
- Zend Framework Certification – PHP is an awesome language for building web applications but employers and clients need you to focus on their business needs and not the nuts and bolts of the language and industry accepted architectural designs. This is where frameworks come in. a framework will provides you with a skeleton that you can use to build your applications. a framework allows you to focus on the business needs and it handles the technical and architectural needs for you. getting a certification such as Zend Framework certification will open many doors for you.
Apart from Zend certifications, you can also get other certification such as- Laravel Certification – Laravel is one of the most commonly used PHP frameworks. Having a Laravel certification will prove to your employers and clients that you are competent when it comes to dealing with back-end PHP technology.
These are not the only PHP certification but having these, will help you go a long way.If you are aiming for the Zend certifications, then I recommend the book Zend PHP Certification Guide 5.5: A programmers guide to PHP as a study guide.
Ruby on Rails
Ruby on rails is another popular MVC framework built on ruby. Just like PHP, Ruby on rails is open source. You can use ruby to create web applications and APIs.
As of this writing, no Ruby on Rails certification program exists but if you can, you can get certified as a ruby developer.
- Ruby Association Certified Ruby Programmer – rails in built on ruby so getting a certification in ruby can give you an added advantage when you show your employers/clients
- Agile Web Development with Rails – this is an excellent book on ruby on rails to get you up and running.
ASP is the acronym for active server pages. It is a web development language developed by Microsoft and runs on the .Net framework. Microsoft offers a number of certifications such as for a wide range of topics.
- Microsoft Certifications – on this page, you will find a number of certification including web applications development.
JSP is the acronym for Java Server Pages. It is powered by Java and used to create web applications.
Oracle provides a certification program for Java EE 6: Develop Web Components with Servlets & JSPs that will make you stand out from the rest. I recommend Head First Servlets and JSP: Passing the Sun Certified Web Component Developer Exam as a study guide if you would like to get JSP certification.
Database Engines
In today's world, almost all applications must store data in the database. Data is literally the blood line of all modern businesses. Knowing about databases will help you to go a long way
MySQL is a client-server relational database management system. It runs on all operating systems and is mostly used with PHP. It supports tables, views, triggers and stored procedures etc. You can also use it with other programming languages such as Ruby, Java, C# etc.
MySQL has two major certification programs. Database Administrator and Database Developer.
Murach's MySQL, 2nd Edition is a great learning resource for MySQL if you would like to get certified.
Microsoft SQL Server
SQL Server is a commercial relational database management systems developed by Microsoft. It is most commonly used with ASP.Net but you can also use it with other languages i.e. Java, PHP etc.
Microsoft offers a number of certifications regarding SQL Server. The entry level certification is Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA) which focuses on databases. The Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA) focus on SQL Server 2012,2014 and 2016.
If you want to study for Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA), Training Kit (Exam 70-461) Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (MCSA) (Microsoft Press Training Kit) is an excellent study guide that I highly recommend.
SQLite is an embedded relational SQL database. It is commonly used on mobile devices i.e. smart phones. You can also use it when working with web applications.As of this writing, SQLite doesn't have an official certification program but you can contribute / developer an open source program that uses SQLite and offer it as proof to your potential employers / clients.
I recommend the book The Definitive Guide to SQLite (Expert's Voice in Open Source) for polishing up your skills in SQLite.
Oracle is another popular relational database management system developed by Oracle. It is most used by big corporations.
Oracle offers a number of certifications for its products. If you would like to get an oracle database certification, then this book OCA/OCP Oracle Database 12c All-in-One Exam Guide (Exams 1Z0-061, 1Z0-062, & 1Z0-063) will help you to pass your exams
Development Methodologies
In addition to possessing the technical skills, you will also need to know about project management and development methodologies.
Agile Development Methodologies
Agile development is a term that is used to refer to development methodologies that favour incremental and iterative development practices. Some of the most popular methodologies include;
- Extreme Programming (XP) – XP aims to improve software development quality and responsiveness to changing user requirements. This is achieved by favouring short development life cycles and frequent releases. Feedback loops are and checkpoints for new requirements very critical to successfully using XP.
- Scrum - Scrum takes a flexible, and holistic approach to iterative and incremental software development where a team works as a unit to reach a common goal. These teams are self-organizing, work in close physical proximity and encourages face-to-face communication among all team members. Scrum is responsive to changing user requirements. The three major roles of a scrum team are product owner, development team, and scrum master
The scrum institute offers a number of certifications on Agile methods that will make you stand out in the crowd. If you would like to be certified as a Scrum Master, then I recommend this study guide Scrum Master Certification: PSM Exam: Preparation Guide and Handbook (scrum master certification, scrum master, scrum, agile, agile scrum)
Development Tools / Techniques
In the good ol' days, one only needed to know a single programing language, develop something functional and get away with it. Things have changed these days. In additional to knowing at least more than one language. Your skill set should also include the following
- Version Control – software is a living entity that is constantly changing. New features are always being added. This may introduce bugs and at times one needs to roll back to the previous state. We also need to keep track of who is doing what to the code base. The old fashion way of doing it was to copy and paste then rename and keep a number of backups. Version control offers a superior solution to this problem. It allows us to keep track of the changes we make to the code, create experimental branches when adding new features and if they pass the tests merge them into the master branch. One of the most commonly used version control software is Git. At a minimum, you should at least know git.
- Test Driven Development (TDD) – when I just started programming over 10 years ago, I would often get into arguments with my supervisor. I make a change in module X and suddenly module Y stops working problem. The supervisor would claim I changed module Y too and I would swear to the gods I never touched module Y. Test Driven Development solved the problem. Generally, when using TDD, one writes a test that fails on purpose (red), then writes only the required code to make it pass (green), then re-factors the code (blue). Testing comes in many flavours unit testing (testing individual components), integration testing (testing all system modules as they interact with each other) etc.
In my experience, using version control and test driven development has made my life easier and earned me respect of my colleagues and clients. The quality of the software has greatly improved and am able to add features within the shortest possible time without breaking much of what was already existing.
The general rule I use is use version control to create a development branch, add new features using test driven development and only merge the new features if all tests i.e. unit and integration tests pass.
Front End Developer
Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) – as of this writing, the latest version of HTML is 5. It comes with a lot of cool features that you must know. Web pages are literally build using HTML.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) – another critical component of building web pages. CSS provides you with the styling that makes the web beautiful.
JavaScript (JS) – JavaScript is a client-side scripting language that is used to make web pages interactive and provide a lot of functionality. You can use JavaScript to provide client-side validation, performing Ajax calls etc. apart from doing client-side activities, JavaScript can now be used on the server side as well i.e. Node.JS
JavaScript Frameworks / Libraries – pure JavaScript is great for simple tasks but things can and usually tend to get more complex. Frameworks and libraries allow you to focus on the user needs while they take care of the technical needs. Libraries such as jQuery allow you to do more with less. jQuery comes with functionality for things like validation, animations, Ajax calls etc. out of the box. Instead of focusing on writing calls to validate user input, you focus more on defining the validation rules that must be implement and let jQuery handle the rest. You will also need to know JavaScript frameworks i.e. VueJS, AngularJS, ReactJS etc. to create killer interactive interfaces.
Front end frameworks – time is money. You don't want to spent a lot of time on a project focusing on technical details. You can take advantage of front end frameworks such as twitter bootstrap to make your life sweet. Twitter bootstrap comes with CSS and JavaScript functionality out of the box. Once you have the design mock-ups, you can focus on applying CSS classes to your HTML elements and watch the magic happen instead of writing the CSS code that will translate your mock-ups to cool HTML pages.
CSS Pre-processors – these enable you to speed up your CSS development. CSS pre-processors such as SASS and LESS process your CSS code before publishing to make the code cross-browser friendly and well formatted.
Template Engines – let's assume you are using PHP on the backend, before template engines, the front end developers would create the HTML, handle it over to the developers and then they would embed pure PHP code into the HTML. This is no longer acceptable. You need to learn a template engine and they are super easy actually. Laravel uses blade template. Other popular PHP templates include twig. You can also learn about pug which is a template engine used by Express JS (A JavaScript web application framework that runs on Node.JS)
Responsive and Mobile Designs – your interfaces need to be able to respond to the size of the design and mobile devices.
As you can see from the above list, the backend and front end developers needs to know a lot of things. A full-stack developer needs to know all things. In my experience, knowing everything and mastering them all is a very tricky thing. I am more comfortable on the back-end but I understand the basics of front end development.
How did I achieve that? I focused more on frameworks and libraries and really polished up on HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I use user a CSS framework such as Burma to develop a really cool professional interface without really knowing much about the CSS behind. Frameworks such as VueJS provide me with what I need to create killer JavaScript interacts apps without been a JavaScript Ninja.
For most of my freelance projects, I usually buy HTML templates from ThemeForest then I customize them to meet the requirements of my clients.
Following the methodology described above and taking advantage of a market place such as ThemeForest has really turned me into a rock star full-stack developer. Rome wasn't conquered in a day. You too can do it if you have the will power and patience.
ThemForest really believes in giving back to the community. Every month you can download free resources from all the market places i.e. ThemeForest, Codecanyon. Videohive etc. all you need to do to download the free gifts is to sign up for a free account.

A recent KPMG survey of the banking industry shows optimism about continued growth in the Caribbean.
KPMG Partner and Regional Director of Corporate Finance Simon Townend shared the results of the firm's annual banking survey at the 11th annual Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Investment Conference in Curacao in May.
With an exposure of more than US$2.6 billion regional, indigenous and international lending institutions, including ScotiaBank, Butterfield, FirstCaribbean International Bank and Royal Bank of Canada, have once again reaffirmed their commitment to the Caribbean region, states a press release.
Citing the strength of European currencies, the stability of US interest rates and improved airlift, banks remain optimistic about the continued growth in the region.
'The results of the annual KPMG banking survey once again support the positive outlook for tourism growth in the region,' said Mr. Townend. 'With the financial commitment of more than US$2.6 billion in the Caribbean, lenders are sending a clear message to developers that, with the right fundamentals, they are willing to continue to finance multi-million dollar projects in the region. While the Cricket World Cup did not necessarily yield the short-term financial benefits originally anticipated, it is felt that there will be a very positive long-term benefit directly associated with the significant increase in international exposure of the region and the improved infrastructure of the participating islands.'
There is a new influx of capital from private equity and mezzanine lenders, particularly to larger projects, attracted by the now proven resilience of the regional tourism product and the prospects of strong yields relative to home markets.
KPMG Partner Kris Beighton, who worked closely with KPMG's regional offices on the banking survey, was one of the more than 400 delegates to the conference.
He noted that while there was a clear willingness to invest, the flattening of the US housing market is on the radar screen for lenders but it was suggested that this would not have a major impact on the short to mid-term prospects for the Caribbean and while there are a number of high-end condo-hotel developments underway in the region, banks are expressing some caution in this sector. The banks also want to see projects that represent sustainable tourism initiatives.
Statistics highlighted in the survey show that the premium to the base lending rate (LIBOR most commonly used) ranges from two per cent to four per cent, in 2007. Similarly debt service coverage ratio requirements are in the 1x to 2.5x range. LTV ratios were reported at 50 percent to 75 percent this year in comparison with 55 percent to 70 percent in 2006.
Lenders surveyed also noted condo-hotels, mixed-use properties, disposable income levels in the U.S. and the growth of the yachting business and yacht ownership to be key opportunities for the region. Conversely, they noted, quality of service, a lack of skilled labour, reliance on the US economy, crime and seasonality of the product to be key weaknesses. There was some concern still at the fact that the condo-hotel product in the region was still untested in terms of litigation, however banks were generally more comfortable with the product.
The softening of the US housing market, hurricanes, terrorism, labour shortages, increased preference for cruising, the re-emergence of Mexico, the increased cost of debt and the opening of the Cuban market were all noted as potential threats for the Cayman Islands and other Caribbean island tourism development.
To request a copy of the report or for further information please contact Kris Beighton, on 914 4392 or email [email protected].
Who they are
KPMG, a Cayman Islands partnership, is the Cayman Islands firm of KPMG International, a Swiss cooperative. The firm has 11 partners and a full staff compliment of 170.

I had to re read this to review it properly What with the James Bond craze at it s peak AGAIN.This was the thought that fertilized the embryo, that gave birth, to the toddler, that became the child, then preteen, to testosterone filled teen, to non boarding school graduate, to minor military career of James Bond snatched up by the Her Majesty s Secret Service in a moment of male weakness, he was ripe for the picking never really fitting insomehow As he never had fit in before And they fit him in, like hand in glove to a double ought life of girls, guns, and garrotes This is Flemings love letter to Bond, how he created him and coddled him, rocked him when he was colicky, fed him when he was hungry, clothed him, educated him, and taught him to kill, ever so efficiently, then shaped him out of the clay of paper and ink, into the BondJames Bond we have all come to know.No one really loved James Bond as...
Sorry wrong book.
This book contains all of the choicest lines from Fleming s Bond novels but makes a poor substitute for actually reading the novels.
