The Gas Valve Unit is a low-pressure double block and bleed system designed to direct flow of methane gas to 4-stroke dual fuel engines. In case of emergency shutdown, the Gas Valve Unit will disengage the fuel supply to the engine and send excess fuel from the unit to the vent header.
LNG significantly reduces or eliminates emissions of SOx and particulate matter. The reduction of NOx emissions depends on engine technology, but is typically well within the strictest International Maritime Organization NOx Tier III requirements in Emission Control Areas. When considering the complete lifecycle for LNG, the greenhouse gas savings amount to is up to 18% compared with traditional marine fuels.
At Eltronic FuelTech, we provide innovative high- and low-pressure solutions that delivers high quality as well as worldwide sustainability.

Tool for exploration of Creativity ~The sound of Writing~
Duração: 15 min
Original language: Japanese
Simultaneous interpretation: Sim
Subtitles: Não
Session type: paneldiscussion
Wacom and PILOT came up with the idea of using writing sounds as a way of defining digital pens, which led them to pursue research entirely dedicated to writing sounds. After repeated, active discussions as to which essential elements make up a sound and how they can be expressed, they arrived at certain findings. PILOT is proud to present these findings at its booth, where you can try them out yourself. The session is staged by engineers from PILOT and Wacom, together with Mr. Matsubara, a sound specialist (Sound Ninja), and Mr. Miyata (TOA), responsible for the loudspeakers with high sound fidelity used at the event, and offers a forum for discussions about their discoveries and objectives in their joint quest into writing sounds.

Customer Reviews
I am a childcare provider I teach Arabic and English. I always fine a high quality materials for English language teaching, for Arabic language it's so rare and hard but when I found THINKNATTION I was so excited and happy to order and feel proud to have their high and neat quality materials in my small school because this is what the child deserves. So far I ordered 2 materials the puzzles and the tracing board. Will order more materials. Thank you
My students love this tracing board! Even the ones who have a hard time focusing on writing will take their time to trace the arabic letters over and over again on this wooden board.
I love how elegant and natural it looks! I think that makes it more attractive to students as well!
I will definitely be ordering more tracing boards and sharing this great find to other teachers and families in this community!!!
This is just an absolutely amazing product. My 4 year old grandson loves it. He just started learning the Arabic alphabet and he enjoys tracing the letters on his beautiful board. I am sure it will help me learn writing Arabic quickly.
I bought the Arabic Tracing Board for our Preschool and it has been a hit! My son (4yo) tested it out before we took it to class, and he loved it. Students have been reading the alphabets aloud as they trace without being prompted. We can't wait to extend sensory play with this.
I would suggest adding something to connect the stylus to the board permanently. My husband drilled a small hole in the board and the stylus to connect them with a string. It's very easy to lose small objects in a kid environment, so making that upgrade would be appreciated.
Beautiful and very high quality. Very please with purchase.

String theory and cosmological singularities

Permanent link:
In general relativity space-like or null singularities are common: they imply that `time' can have a beginning or end. Well-known examples are singularities inside black holes and initial or final singularities in expanding or contracting universes. In recent times, string theory is providing new perspectives of such singularities which may lead to an understanding of these in the standard framework of time evolution in quantum mechanics. In this article, we describe some of these approaches.

A few political blogs have noted John Yoo, the guy who made torture legal for the Bush administration, also has some thoughts about nuclear weapons.
Look at the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. … Could Congress tell President Truman that he couldn't use a nuclear bomb in Japan, even though Truman thought in good faith he was saving millions of Americans and Japanese lives? … My only point is that the government places those decisions in the President, and if the Congress doesn't like it they can cut off funds for it or they can impeach him.
Any sane review of Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb in 1945 will show that Truman recognized that plans to use the device were already in motion, and he in fact was very deliberate about consulting with scientists, the military, State Dept, and Congress before making the heavy decision to drop the bomb. Yes, this is a controversial topic, but let's not suggest that Truman made a unilateral decision based on his executive authority to conduct this action. And in fact, one of the first things Truman did after dropping the bomb was to tell Congress that it was up to them to create an Atomic Energy Commission and to take over responsibility for nuclear weapons.
Although the idea of the president hitting the red button to launch a nuclear strike is popular for movies, the significant impact that such a decision would
entail ensures make one hope that this is not a unilateral decision, unless Russian nukes are inbound and our government leadership has only minutes to decide whether to retaliate in kind. So I wonder what Professor Yoo thinks about President Ronald Reagan's view on nuclear weapons?
"A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought. The only value in our two nations possessing nuclear weapons is to make sure they will never be used. But then would it not be better to do away with them entirely?"
President Reagan in his 1984 State of the Union address.
UPDATE: Good point by bloglogger, Yoo couldn't even get the numbers right. The proposed US invasion force was numbered in the low hundreds of thousands, not to mention the Japanese who would have resisted the landings on Japan. Certainly it was not millions of Americans and Japanese lives at stake.
UPDATE 2: Commenter John Purdue and others are convincing me that the president does in fact have the power to unilaterally pop a nuke. Let me suggest that the ethical thing that the president would do is to consult with his staff and Congressional leaders before unilaterally causing a pre-emptive strike. And I still wonder as to his interpretation of Truman's actions... Thanks commenters for the discussion.

These sweet little babies are very special, bringing pleasure to anyone who holds them. Their beautiful faces and cuddly bodies can help but make you smile.

Her matching bloomers and scrunchy hair accent all coordinate perfectly with her fuchsia and white, soft sateen slip on shoes. "My mother is in an advanced stage of Alzheimers. Her doll is her constant companion. In my mother's mind, the doll is a living being. She cuddles it, talks to it, and exhibits less fearfulness at night when she sleeps with the doll. The familiar occupation of caring for "Little Debbie" seems to remind my mother of her role as an adult. The reduced level of agitation, and even more importantly, the comfort and happiness "Little Debbie" has brought my mother only makes me sad that I did not get her a doll sooner."

Before she was within earshot I was told that she considered her doll to be her real baby. So when she got closer, I asked her if I could see her baby. She replied, "This isn't a baby - it is a doll." The staff was astonished. I commented on the cuteness of her doll and asked her how long she had had it. Her reply, "Since it was born!

Prosper or perish: Time for Sustainable Development
With US President Donald Trump's walkout of the Paris Deal, the agreement that aims to keep planetary warming by 2030 below the 2°C rise ceiling, the debate about sustainable development has gained increased traction, with advocates directly contradicting the president and saying it could generate millions of jobs. In this new development model, the United States, by hewing to outdated legacy technologies, risks being left behind.
What has also come to dominate the public discourse now is the role companies are playing to build sustainable businesses in the face of depleting natural resources, global warming and exponentially growing populations. A pioneering report issued this week – Better Business, Better World – by the Business & Sustainable Development Commission (BSDC), points out that business leaders and entrepreneurs can unlock market opportunities worth US$5 trillion and generate 230 million jobs in Asia by 2030 by following sustainable business models.
The report elaborates how the private sector could apply innovative solutions to social and environmental challenges, achieve inclusive growth and create 72 million jobs in India alone. Instead of decelerating growth, as is the common perception, environmentally-friendly corporate strategies aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals could open economic opportunities across 60 "hot spots" worth up to US$12 trillion and increase employment by up to 380 million jobs globally by 2030, according to the report.
These 17 Global Goals and their 169 component targets – formulated through collaboration with governments, businesses, and civil society – aim to deliver the practical solutions needed to protect the planet's resources and leave no one behind.
The report offers a compelling alternative growth model for Asia based on pursuing strategies in line with the United Nations Goals. Achieving sustainable development goals in just four sectors—food and agriculture, cities, energy and materials, and health and well-being—would create US$12 trillion of new market opportunities by 2030, the report says. Further, savings from reduced carbon emissions, water use and other resource consumption and overall profits could be as high as $17 trillion. The prize is not just for companies; it's for people, too. As a domino effect, these markets will create millions of new jobs, particularly in developing countries.
While India has lifted a staggering number of people out of poverty in the past two decades since it abandoned the License Raj, an iniquitous distribution of resources between the rich and poor are impacting people's health, education and access to sustainable energy, bottlenecking economic and development progress. "Better Business, Better World" shows that instead of being burdens, these challenges can be turned into economic boons to business, offering companies a pathway for achieving a new growth model.
Indian companies concur that with India's 2016 ratification of the Paris accord, the country's sustainability journey has been accelerated.
"Today, businesses are trying to change the narrative from environmental negligence to embracing sustainable development as there's pressure on them from all directions," said Anil Saxena, the CEO of Wireworks, a New Delhi-based IT company. "Social and environmental issues, once peripheral have now become concomitant. Environmental factors such as water and resources crunch that affect production are having a direct bearing on the way businesses are conducted. Additionally, social factors such as human rights, working conditions and economic inequality are also coming into play."
Many companies have scaled up and prioritized CSR operations, are going beyond regulatory compliance and government mandates to look at inventive ways to become a force for good. Growth without adversely impacting the environment is the new mantra. Forward-looking Indian conglomerates like Mahindra & Mahindra, Ambuja Cement and ITC, for instance, are particularly embracing sustainable methods to conduct businesses.
According to Anirban Ghosh, Chief Sustainability Officer, Mahindra Group, one of the leaders in CSR and sustainability, doing business responsibly is imperative.
"As a company, we're focused on building an enduring business while rejuvenating the environment and enabling stakeholders to rise," he said in an interview. "This has led to a rich body of work that encompasses energy efficiency, renewable energy, water conservation, embracing the circular economy, mitigating climate risk, and fostering inclusive development. We're also very active in the social sphere by investing in electric cars, solar power, micro-irrigation and green building technologies amongst others."
Indian analysts feel that with the Paris accord in full play, companies will need to pitch in, in a significant manner for India to achieve the NDC (nationally determined commitment) of emission cuts by 33-35 percent. They will need to focus more on renewables with a strong emphasis on solar, biofuels and wind. These practices, add policy makers, will gain strength with developments in energy storage. Improved storage will also help corporations move towards renewable energy for their own consumption. Corporations will increasingly engage with the government in policy making and contribute towards an effective public-private partnership on renewables.
Ecologists assert the situation is especially dire in India and China where over 40 percent of arable land has been degraded due to climate change, local pollution or topsoil erosion. "Overall, large swathes of Asia are profoundly impacted by environmental trends that are challenging resource productivity, particularly climate change, loss of biodiversity, and changes in land use," said Shahsank Shekhar of the Department of Geology at Delhi University. "If all stakeholders – individuals, government, companies – don't come together on a war footing, consequences can be severe."
Water is now one of the highest global risks, according to the ninth edition of the Global Risk Report, 2014. Corporate sustainability reports, are now speaking of water at two levels – as part of CSR initiatives for communities and as part of company operations.
According to the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), across sectors, many companies have commitments to reducing their overall eco-footprint, whittle down emissions, energy usage and waste management while also integrating climate change risks into multidisciplinary company-wide risk management processes.
A study from Harvard Business School found that "high sustainability" companies from 1992 to 2010 did better in terms of profitability and stock-market performance than the rest. The common misconception that companies that invest heavily in sustainability might incur higher costs and become less profitable is being debunked by modern by studies.
The Global 100's stock returns suggest that if you had invested US$100 in Global 100 companies in 2005, it would have been worth US$232 at the end of 2016. If you did the same for the ACWI (All Country World Index, a market capitalisation weighted index designed to provide a broad measure of equity-market performance throughout the world.) you'd have US$208. In other words, the Global 100's cumulative return is 24 percentage points higher than the ACWI benchmark.
As the BSDC report warns: Asia's future economic growth, stability, and shared prosperity are all under threat from the impact of environmental and social factors. So if businesses do not choose to embrace the Global Goals, the costs of the global burdens will continue to grow. This will result in less stable and less equitable societies, an irreversibly damaged environment, and higher political risk.

Camera Models – why I love Canon
Alright, so now that you understand it doesn"t really matter what camera you buy, I"m going to suggest a camera to buy If you don"t like my suggestion though, I certainly won"t hold it against you (in fact I"ll even suggest some alternatives!) . . . and you will still be able to take great pictures.
To recap the previous articles, a) buy a digital camera, b) buy an SLR, c) don"t pay much attention to megapixels. The two most important considerations for the camera are the quality of the optics, and the quality of the CCD (image sensor) . . . and there is no standard measure or marketing term for these factors.
For optics quality, the best cameras are Canons and Nikons – they"ve been the best for years, and continue to outperform other cameras. Between the two brands, optic quality goes back and forth depending on who"s released the latest upgrade. Canon had a better platform for awhile (they"ve been placing the focus motor in the lens rather than the camera body for years, which speeds up the performance among other things), but Nikon recently switched over to a similar platform which is holding its own.
For image sensor quality, Canon and Nikon have also historically lead the pack. Again, quality between the two of them tends to go back and forth model to model. Recently, several new players, most notably Sony, have entered the arena of high quality image sensors. In fact Sony"s CCD is good enough that they teamed up with Carl Zeiss (a microscope and precision optics manufacturer) to try and bring their optics into a competitive range with Canon and Nikon. Sony has been successful in developing a line of SLRs that have Canon and Nikon nervous, but in my opinion they are still playing outside their core competancy and have some work ahead of them before I would recommend one of their cameras.
Between Canon and Nikon as I mentioned, it"s sort of a toss-up on which brand you buy. So why do I buy Canon? Because they have more experience with in-lens motors, because I used to shoot with a 35mm Canon Rebel and got used to the controls, and because all my old lenses are compatable with my new cameras! That"s it.
Ok, Canon still has a wide range of SLRs though. So which to buy? I would honestly go with the Rebel XSi to the left. "But that"s the cheap one!" you might say. Right. It"s probably all you need. Even if you"re a budding professional, it"s probably all you need. I shot with the precursor of this model for years, and I upgraded for 1 reason only – I need a faster shooting rate (frames/second) to capture multiple exposures of moving subjects and a larger burst shot capacity (number of photos that can be taken before the memory card write speed slows down the shooting rate). If you don"t need to shoot lots of exposures quickly, there is almost no reason to buy anything more expensive than the Rebel XSi.
If, on the other hand, you do need high speed shooting capability (for example to minimize blur for HDR photos, or if you are heavy into sports photography), then the Canon 40D is your best value. I know, it"s not Canon"s most expensive model either. I"m trying to save you some money – the new 50D doesn"t add much other than some more megapixels, and a moderately increased useful range for low light photography. That"s it. And the 5D (the next step up) almost triples the price.
By the way, the product links above include both the camera body and a lens. Both cameras are fully compatible with the entire EOS line of lenses, so if you don"t need a lens here is the Rebel Body Only or the 40D Body Only. The 40D actually has a couple options for the lens that comes with it if you buy as a kit, but the 28-135mm included in the above link is probably your best bet quality-wise.
That"s all you should need! Time to get shooting Ok, if you want to browse around Canon"s other offerings by all means go ahead. Or if you want to try your hand with a Nikon, look for cameras with similar price points and features as one of the Canons I mention above. You really can"t go wrong.

Hi! I was wondering how I could go about creating interesting relationships between a group of characters. I find that I struggle with giving everyone a distinct role without it feeling forced or cliched. How can I create interesting group dynamics?

- Advocacy
Election season comes early this year.
In just a few days, over 1,000 Freelancers Union members will have the opportunity to share their vision for New York by voting for their representatives in Albany. There are four special elections taking place on February 9 to replace state Assembly members in Nassau, Suffolk, Queens, and Westchester counties. These are typically very low turnout elections, which makes your voice even more powerful (but only if you vote!). In the next few days, Freelancers Union's Endorsement Committee will meet to review the candidates and their responses to our questionnaires and then make recommendations based on who best understands independent workers and their struggles. If you're unsure which district you live in, click on the links below to look at the maps or go to the New York State Assembly's website and do a district search. The following districts are holding special elections on February 9th: Suffolk County's 3rd district, vacated by Democrat Patricia Eddington, Nassau County's 15th district vacated by Rob Walker, Queens 24th district vacated by Mark Weprin, and finally Westchester County's the 89th district vacated by Adam Bradley. Look for Freelancers Union's endorsements next week, but until then, let us know if you see any yard signs or get a phone call in your neck of the woods!

We have reached day 4 of our 5 day celebration! You can find our first 3 giveaways below.
Today we are featuring Mamabean Naturals! They make a variety of natural lotions and lip balms, along with Montessori and Waldorf-inspired wooden toy gift sets.
They have teamed up with us to give one lucky winner this "Acorn Faces" wooden gift set.
This shop is run by Mama Andrea. She is a homeschooling mama of two boys.
This manipulative set is called "Acorn Faces." It's the perfect time of year to break out these little acorns as Autumn arrives. Whether this is for a classroom setting or in the home, it can be used as a lesson, a daily conversation starter, or even an 'in the moment' tool. Seven different expressions have been wood-burned onto acorns that represent seven different feelings (happy, sad, angry, frustrated, curious, scared, and excited). A wood burned box stores all of the acorns and a wooden cup can provide a peek-a-boo game and display the feeling of the day. I designed this as a 'circle time' manipulative, but it can be used in any way that works best for your child. An 8 page booklet is included, beginning with an introductory poem about feelings on one side, and open ended/critical thinking questions on the other. Each feeling is represented in the book in the same manner, and they are color coded with watercolors to match their acorn. The book is laminated for protection. High emotional intelligence (EQ) is a predictor of many positive outcomes. Not only does identifying feelings help in the 'now', but it's a lifelong skill. This set can help young children develop their EQ in a variety of ways: 1) the examples provided in the poems can be a source of modeling. 2) the set has been developed to help children identify their own feelings, but also feelings of other 3) the guiding questions provided can help parents/caregivers facilitate a problem solving discussion with children 4) some of the guiding questions evoke children to think about how other people feel. I hope you enjoy using this manipulative to explore feelings with your child.
How to enter:
- Like Mamabean Naturals on Facebook.
- Like Pocketful of Pebbles on Facebook.
- Comment and tag a friend on this post.
That's it! This giveaway is open to U.S. residents only. You may enter starting today, 9/1/16-9/8/16. The winner will be announced on the Facebook post above on the 8th.
Good luck! And thank you all for being a part of our community!

I want to set the record straight regarding a recent news story reported by Fox 25 News. Our goal for this interview was to bring to light the work of Malden Overcoming Addiction and their recent proposal to bring what is known as the Bridge Recovery Center to Malden. Unfortunately, the news organization wrongly portrayed these efforts as an extension of Boston's troubled "Methadone Mile." As a result of the story, some were left to believe that Malden was actually seeking to locate a methadone clinic within the city.
Let me be clear that there is no medical facility component being considered nor has it ever been discussed. In fact, the sole purpose of a recovery center would be to provide daily peer-to-peer recovery services and support to those fighting the disease of addiction. Services would include in part resume building, GED preparation, and health and wellness. No medicines or medical treatments of any kind would be administered. We are actually providing these types of recovery services currently in the community and establishing a center would provide a home base for additional services for Malden residents. I find it hard to meet anyone who has not been affected by the opioid crisis.
The idea of a recovery center is in its infancy and any plans to move forward will be brought to the community for feedback and input. As the opioid epidemic continues to plague our communities, we have to work together to seek solutions for those wanting to change their lives and stop the cycle of addiction.

MANHATTAN (CN) - Alexander Calder's estate blocked the sale of a $1 million sculpture by falsely claiming that his "Eight Black Leaves" mobile is just a fragment of a larger work, a Swiss art dealer claims in Federal Court.
Calder sold the sculpture to Gerald Cramer in 1948 as a "fully integrated work" and Cramer displayed it in his gallery in Geneva, according to the 40-page lawsuit, which contains another 136 pages of exhibits.
Cramer's son, plaintiff Patrick Cramer, "a prominent art dealer in his own right," claims he contacted Christie's in April 2012 to sell Eight Black Leaves. He estimates it's worth $1.2 million.
He claims he sought issuance of an inventory number by the Calder Foundation, which recognized the authenticity of the piece but said it was part of a larger piece of work and not deserving of an inventory number.
Cramer disputes that.
"In the more than 60 years since Gerald Cramer's purchase of 'Eight Black Leaves,' nobody has ever claimed or suggested that 'Eight Black Leaves' was a fragment of a larger work," he says in the lawsuit.
"This unsupported assertion was only made after the foundation learned that the estate of Gerald Cramer sought to obtain an inventory number in order to sell the work. ...
"Without an inventory number, 'Eight Black Leaves' is not marketable and a work produced by Calder cannot be catalogued or made available to the public for art education and research in accordance with the charitable and educational purpose of the foundation."
Cramer claims the Calder Foundation, which owns more than 22,000 of the artist's works worth hundreds of millions of dollars, "has compromised its scholarly integrity by falsely labeling 'Eight Black Leaves' as a fragment."
The complaint continues: "This wrongful act is part of a larger pattern in which the Foundation has controlled the market for Calder works through arbitrary determinations of authenticity. The Foundation's authenticity decisions are fueled by the Foundation's conflict of interest - and its self-interest - as both the arbiter of authenticity and the owner of numerous Calder works worth millions of dollars."
Calder's work is "thriving" 35 years after the artist's death, Cramer says. In 2012, his mobile, "Lilly of Force," sold at auction for $18.5 million.
The Calder Foundation was once responsible for "cataloguing all the works produced by the artist Alexander Calder and making his works available for public inspection in order to facilitate art education and research," according to the complaint.
But, Cramer says, the foundation no longer formally authenticates Calder works and has abandoned its compilation of the Calder catalogue raisonne "in order to insulate itself from accountability for its authentication decisions, which are often arbitrary and self-interested."
Cramer asks the court to order the foundation to give him an inventory number for the work.
He says the piece is worth at least $1.2 million, and seeks $3.6 million for treble damages.
He is represented by Michael Lacher with Eaton & Van Winkle LLP.
Named as defendants are The Calder Foundation and executors of the artist's estate. Christie's auction house is not a party to the complaint.
Calder (1898-1976) is best known for turning the mobile into a recognized art form.

TRANSPORT Minister Joram Gumbo on Thursday told Parliament that the National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ) has become difficult to resuscitate, but added that government will not give up on it.
Gumbo was responding to a question posed by Manicaland senator Anthony Chimhini (MDC-T), who had asked about the government's plans for the struggling parastatal.
"NRZ operations have been going down year after year and now it has actually worsened to the extent that it has become difficult to resuscitate it. We are working to try and resuscitate it because it is important that it performs, particularly this time when we are expecting a bumper harvest," Gumbo said.
He said he had presented a paper to Cabinet on Wednesday, detailing options available for the revival of the rail transporter.
"Their books are so bad to the extent it is difficult to attract investors to partner them, but we are still negotiating with companies who want to partner us. There are many issues with NRZ, and the first is that (at independence in 1980) it was over employed with 20,000 employees, but by 1990 they were 12,000 and right now they are 5,000 that are sitting and doing nothing," he said.
Gumbo said the employees sitting idle at NRZ cannot be fired before their salary arrears are cleared.
NRZ board chairperson Larry Mavhima recently told the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Transport that the parastatal wants government to warehouse its $176 million debt.
Mavhima said the NRZ would require $16 million from government, to fund its strategic plan for 2017, while proposing to raise $2.5 million from the sale of scrap metal.
Out of NRZ's 166 locomotives, only 60 are functional, while only 108 passenger coaches, out of 332, are in usable condition.
Mavhima said for the NRZ to attract serious investors, government needs to consider a sovereign guarantee of $400 million and restrict bulk commodity haulage to rail.
Gumbo told the Senate that the many potholes on the country's roads were worsened by NRZ's diminished freight capacity, which has resulted in the road network bearing the excess burden.
At its peak, NRZ moved 18 million tonnes of freight annually. Last year, the company moved three million tonnes of freight and has a target of 3,7 million tonnes in 2017.Advertisement
Minister says NRZ now 'difficult to resuscitate', accounts a mess

Living the Similitudes in Our Communities
OPF North American conference
October 29-31, 2004
St. Nicholas Ranch, Dunlap, California
The Similitudes are the words of Christ that immediately follow the Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount: "You are the salt of the earth... You are the light of the world." While the Beatitudes speak of the interior qualities of those who await the Kingdom of God, the Similitudes have particular reference to the way these characteristics are lived out in the world.
The 2004 Orthodox Peace Fellowship North American Conference will be a symposium on ministries of peacemaking, social outreach, and environmental stewardship, featuring lectures and workshops that focus on finding ways of living our Orthodox faith within our local neighborhoods and communities, so that others "may see our good works and glorify our Father in Heaven."

He has served as professor of theology at St. Andrew's Theological College in Sydney and Holy Cross School of Theology in Boston, and currently serves as theological advisor to Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew on environmental issues. His books include Beyond the Shattered Image; Cosmic Grace, Humble Prayer, and Light through Darkness (appearing in summer 2004).
Fr. John Chryssavgis will speak on the theme: "Icon and Cosmos: Theological and Spiritual Dimensions of Nature."
Greg and Margaret Yova are founders of Project Mexico and St. Innocent Orphanage. Project Mexico is a ministry that specializes in involving young people in the alleviation of suffering by building homes for Mexico's poor. St. Innocent Orthodox Orphanage in Tijuana provides a home for teenaged boys who live on the streets. They will speak on "Love Charity, and Sacrifice: There is No Greater Witness in this World."

More than a civic duty, voting can be fun! That's according to the DC Young Trade Unionists, which is planning a young worker "Vote or Treat" Halloween meeting on Thursday, October 23 "with decorations, candy, food and fun!" on the IBEW's rooftop terrace. "Everyone who wears a Halloween costume/outfit will be entered in a drawing for cool prizes!" adds the YTU, "and friends and family are welcome!"
In addition to food, friends, voter information and Halloween prizes, "With the elections quickly approaching we wanted to take an opportunity to discuss our views on the labor-endorsed candidates in DC, Maryland and Virginia as well as the voter laws for these regions."

Ambi Labs has launched a new Kickstarter campaign to fund Ambi Climate 2, an award-winning Internet of Things (IoT) device. At its core, Ambi Climate is an air conditioner (AC) remote control unit. However being connected to the Cloud, offering smart services to you is made possible.
As with the previous Ambi Climate, the packaging for Ambi Climate 2 is simple and very much recyclable. Packed in a cardboard box, the unit fits snuggly within the packaging together with a USB cable and a power adaptor. There is no wasteful plastic wrapping wastage.
Setting up
Setting up the Ambi Climate 2 unit is a breeze. Ambi Labs has an existing mobile app for both Android and iOS devices from the previous Kickstarter campaign. The app UX/UI has improved a lot since then.
Setting up for Ambi Climate 2 is similar to Ambi Climate 1:
- Set up the unit at a location in a room that is close to where you are usually at so that it can measure the same conditions you experience. Do not place Ambi Climate 2 near heat-emitting sources or in direct airflow of your AC unit. Make sure the unit is in the line of sight of the aircon unit.
- Connect to the unit's own wifi network, which is named AmbiClimateXXX (Xs are random numbers). You key in your own wifi details to the unit so that your unit can connect to the Internet proper. If you have 2.4GHz and 5GHz wifi networks being broadcasted from your wifi router, it is recommended that you connect to the 2.4GHz network.
- The Ambi Climate 2 unit will then connect to Ambi Labs' servers, and download firmware updates if necessary as well. The LED will change to teal when Ambi Climate has successfully connected to your network and the cloud.
- Name the location and room of where your unit is located. This is for easier identification of the various Ambi Climate units you have.
- You then select your remote control from a list of existing remote controls that Ambi Labs has already collated over the years of running Ambi Climate as a service. Ambi Climate 2 can connect to over 50 brands and 1000 models of remote-controlled ACs. If you are not able to find your remote in their list, a support request will usually resolve this issue pretty fast.
Additionally, there is assistive text in the app as well, which makes setting up easier for visually handicap users. The assistive text will be updated in time for Ambi Climate 2's global rollout.
There are five modes Ambi Labs offers through the app:
- Comfort
Based on your prior inputs of how comfortable you feel – from freezing to hot – Ambi Labs runs an algorithm to set the temperature of the air the aircon unit is blowing to you. You giving more inputs will improve the algorithm. Soon, your complaints of freezing or hellish room temperature will be a thing of the past.
- Temperature
Set a temperature you want your room to be at. Ambi Climate 2 will send the appropriate settings to your AC to achieve and maintain the temperature.
- Away
The 'Away' mode basically maintains the temperature of the room at a higher temperature when you are away. This is particularly useful when you have to step out from the room for a short period of time to warrant a full shutdown of the aircon unit. It will allow your AC unit to then chill the room back to your comfort level when you return using a lower amount of energy.
- Manual
Allows you to set your aircon unit manually.
- Off
Turns off the AC unit. What else were you expecting?
Since the initial launch of Ambi Climate 1, there are many upgrades to the entire Ambi Climate ecosystem. Some of the key ones are:
- Addition of Comfort mode
- Integration with IFTTT
- Completely revamped user experience for smartphone application
- Rule-based control, timers, schedules, user insights, etc
Just being an IoT device by itself, it is not easy to differentiate from similar offerings on the market. In addition to controlling your AC from your phone, there are smart, A.I. driven services as well. This can potentially save you money while providing you comfort that you want.
Following after the success of Ambi Climate 2, Ambi Labs will be rolling out multi-user geolocation feature and integration with Amazon Alexa. With multi-user geolocation feature, Ambi Climate will automatically switch on and off your AC based on your location. Voice controlling will be made possible through the integration with Amazon Alexa via IFTTT.
Afterthoughts and evaluation
As a long-time user of Ambi Climate 1 (the same unit we received for review), I have witnessed that Ambi Labs has been consistently listening to the community and responds to the community's wants and needs. They didn't just stop at offering a device but went on to introduce new features and improvements to existing services. The integration with IFTTT and subsequent introduction of official API access are an acknowledgement to the more techy segment of the community.
I did not encounter the issues I had with Ambi Climate 1 in Ambi Climate 2. The revamped smartphone app is intuitive. Setting up was a breeze. Ambi Climate controls almost every setting on your AC, from temperature to fan speed to louvres, automatically. And there is no downtime in service. The only constant meddling I have is the positioning of the device in the office.
Ambi Climate 2 is currently on Kickstarter at attractive reward levels. Its MSRP is set at US$129, a full US$50 lower than that of Ambi Climate 1's. It will be available in retail stores in Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, United States and Macau. Its retail availability will expand from June 2017 onwards.

Are you considering filing for bankruptcy, but something is holding your back? Are you worried that there are consequences to bankruptcy that will end up hurting you more than helping? The good news is that your worries are probably based on old myths and hearsay that are most likely untrue. The fact is, bankruptcy can provide benefits that can soon lead you on the road to financial recovery.
Do not let these myths keep you from finding debt relief.
My credit will be destroyed for up to 10 years
While your credit score will take a hit after you file for bankruptcy, there are ways to raise that score almost immediately. While bankruptcy will show up on your report for at least 7 years, having a good credit score is the most important thing to establishing new credit with reasonable interest rates.
I can forget about getting a mortgage for a home
When you begin working on your credit immediately after your bankruptcy, you may find that you can secure a mortgage in as little as two years with satisfactory terms. You may even be able to find a mortgage through a FHA loan that has more lenient credit restrictions than regular bank mortgage loans.
Bankruptcy is stealing and people will think less of me
This is not the case. More than one million people every year file for bankruptcy to help them through a distressing financial situation. There is no need to associate guilt or shame with bankruptcy. Bankruptcy should be viewed as a fresh start and a positive step forward.
I can't file bankruptcy for myself if I am married
Bankruptcy laws allow both individuals and couples to file for bankruptcy. If married, your spouse can choose to stay out of your bankruptcy. This usually happens with newly married couples where one person is struggling with debt and the other is not.
I will not qualify for bankruptcy because of the means test
The means test is a way to identify people who have the ability to pay for unsecured debt. Creditors have used the means test argument in hopes of keeping people from filing for bankruptcy. However, since the means test was enacted as part of the bankruptcy process in 2005, filings have continued to rise, and more and more people are finding relief through bankruptcy.
There is no reason to let myths and misguided reasoning keep you from filing for bankruptcy. If you have questions about how bankruptcy will affect you, contact an individual experienced with bankruptcy who can explain what you can expect.

While furnaces and boilers often get a lot of attention when it comes to your home's heating and comfort equipment, your water heater is a real workhorse. It is on the job all day so that you'll have hot water for bathing and showers, running the dishwasher, washing dishes in the sink, doing laundry, mopping the floors and other tasks.
Together with A. L. Bellimer Services, we can make sure your Eastern Vermont home has the hot water it needs for you and your family to be comfortable. We install, maintain and repair all kinds of water heaters.
The best time to replace your water heater is before a leak or a failure forces you to do it.
That's why once your water heater hits 8 years old, it's time to start planning to replace it. Our equipment experts will work with you to make sure your new water heater is the right one to fit your home, your family's hot water needs and your budget.
As you are planning to replace your home's water heater, you should consider upgrading to a tankless model.
Why choose tankless? Convenience and energy efficiency!
With conventional water heaters with a tank, there's often a wait after hot water has been used — for showering, laundry, the dishwasher, etc. — before you can take a shower. That's because the new water in the tank takes time to heat up.
When you have a tankless water heater, the wait is over! These units give you endless hot water, on demand. You can shower while the dishwasher is running with no worries.
When you're not home, or when you're sleeping, a tank water heater is heating and reheating the same water over and over so that it will be hot when you need it. That's a lot of energy being wasted, especially considering that heating water makes up close to 20% of your home's energy costs.
Tankless water heaters only heat water when you need it, giving you better energy efficiency and lower energy bills.
Our equipment technicians are trained and experienced in installing both oil-fired and propane water heaters, so you can be sure we'll do the job right.
Our service doesn't end with installation. Our technicians will maintain your water heater so it runs at peak efficiency. Regular maintenance also helps prevent breakdowns and may help keep your water heater's warranty in effect. And if you do need repairs, we're on the job for you.
Junction Fuels & A.L. Bellimer Services has knowledgeable, experienced equipment service professionals who do can install, repair, and maintain your water heater so that you'll have peace of mind all year long. Contact us today and we'll get to work for you right away.
Rinnai, a leading manufacturer of propane-fired products, is currently offering a special promotion: up to $100 off the purchase of qualifying Rinnai tankless water heaters, heaters and boilers. With Rinnai's superior engineering, smart design and unmatched quality, you'll enjoy an endless supply of hot water—plus significant energy savings, all year long.

Curse of the Crimson Throne
The half-orc warpriest
Born to a human Shoanti mother in the Sklar Quah (sun clan). Relatively normal upbringing, showed promise for the fighting arts and a penchant
for bouts of rage.
Around puberty it became more and more apparent that he wasn't simply particularly ugly, but had orcish blood.
He was cast out of the tribe with nothing but the clothes on his back. He didn't get to know what happened to his mother.
He wandered alone for a while in the desert, until he happened upon a caravan to Korvosa that allowed him to tag along in exchange for his
knowledge of the region's terrain. Once in Korvosa, he joined the masses of kids begging and stealing their way to a meal,
but without as much success given his distinctive appearance.
Lamm intervenes here, noticing an opportunity. He offers Shakro a place among his lambs, and quickly promotes him to a countermaster of sorts.
The task of policing the other lambs suits Shakro's tendancy to rage and violence, though this role doesn't protect him from Lamm's wrath.
One day while going about his business in the city he goes past Sarenrae's church in the middle of a service,
and there the whole sun and fire imagery and rituals hit home. He feels a very strong primal draw to this and keeps coming back every day to watch
and listen. Eventually, Lamm gets wind of this and thoroughly beats him to dissuade him from going back to the church. This time it has
the opposite effect and pushes Shakro to seek shelter there. They take him in, and seeing his potential, he is offered a place and training to become part of the clergy.
On the day he is inducted as a full member of the clergy, he gets a sun bursting with flames tattooed on his right forearm, in a vague attempt at
mimicking what would have happened had he stayed in the quah.

Idaho State University nuclear reactor turns 50
August 13, 2015
POCATELLO – It's been converting matter to create energy for 50 years and could keep running without any new fuel for more than 200 years.
Idaho State University's AGN 201 Nuclear Reactor is celebrating its 50th year of operation on the ISU campus, providing unique learning and research opportunities for students, faculty and staff, and inspiring awe in some.
"In my personal opinion, the fissioning of the uranium nucleus is the most impressive advancement we've made in the past 100 years – nuclear reactors are not yet 100 years old," said Adam Mallicoat, ISU reactor operator, referring to producing nuclear energy. "The fact that we are able to destroy matter to make energy, for that reason alone, they are the most fantastically interesting applications. They make E=mc2 a workable reality for power production."ISU's AGN 201 Nuclear Reactor, located on the lower level of the Lillibridge Engineering Laboratory on the ISU campus, is one of three AGN 201 reactors still operating on a college campus in the United States, and one of five left in the world. There were once more than 40 of this type of reactors operating worldwide.
"It is a great training reactor and ultra-safe," said Jay Kunze, ISU nuclear engineering professor and reactor administrator for the ISU Engineering Nuclear Reactor Office. "It serves to teach students how to operate a reactor, how to design them and how to operate them safely. It serves all the purposes for practical training"
ISU originally received the reactor from the Idaho National Laboratory in 1965 and it was set up in the old ISU Engineering Building, since demolished. It was moved to the new building in 1969 or 1970.
The AGN 201 consists of a reactor unit and a control console. The reactor unit is composed of a central sealed cylindrical core can containing the nuclear fuel material enclosed in a nearly 8-inch-thick graphite reflector, which is surrounded by a nearly 4-inch-thick lead shield, followed by a more than 21-inch-thick water tank for shielding against radiation.
The reactor is licensed for only an extremely small amount of power.
"The energy generated wouldn't even power a night-light bulb," Mallicoat said. "It actually only generates 5 watts of heat, that isn't generated into electricity, it is a negligible amount of energy."
Though it only produces a small amount of energy, it is a powerful teaching tool.
"Our students get to work with a real reactor and interact and handle real fuel, obviously while supervised," Mallicoat said. "This is a very hands-on, unique experience that a lot people don't even get who are working in the field. I've known people who have gotten Ph.D.s in nuclear engineering and they have never touched nuclear fuel.
"We don't run coolant in it like in the bigger reactors where different complexities come in," he continued, "but the process and the way you go about generating energy is exactly the same, and the way the reactor responds is exactly the same. That is why we can do research and educational experiments at a low power level."
Annually in the United States, about 300 people are certified as reactor operators. This spring, five undergraduates at ISU were certified as reactor operators.
Interest in nuclear energy is on the upswing nationwide and at ISU, despite the fact five power reactors in the United States have been shut down in the last three years, leaving 99 operating with five being built. Enrollment in ISU's nuclear engineering program is up about 50 percent in recent years.
Mallicoat also emphasized how safe the reactor is. In the main reactor room on the other side of the shielding walls, levels of radiation are low, "the same levels as your kitchen." Despite the low levels, students and other visitors are checked before and after entering the laboratory with a radiation dosimeter and strict safety protocols are in place, similar to those that exist at power plants.
"We have to check every single safety mechanism everyday when we run it," Mallicoat said. "We use so little uranium that it is not a threat. The reactor uses very close to the minimum amount of material you could possible use to make a reactor."

When my mother was alive she use to say, 'Let it go and move on, because you can't bring back yesterday. All the good you do will be remembered.'
As I grow older I need to trust in this more and more.
I need to believe that my good deeds will live on. I need to believe that the people I love and have loved know that I take their love with me every where I go. Part of loving people is forgiving people who tell stories or assume the worse of you.
You may never be able to reconcile, but forgiveness is divine and it gives you a chance to be a better person. Here are some ways you can work toward forgiving. Forgiving doesn't mean that you're excusing what they did, that there isn't still something to work out, and it especially does not mean that you can't still have feelings about what happened.
It may seem like you'll never escape the emotions you feel when you've been wronged, but time heals all wounds. You must also realize that people in our modern world live with serious damage. They live with abandonment, control and low self esteem issues.
Forgive them anyway.We tend to have a strong negativity bias: Almost all of us pay more attention to negative information than we do to positive information. No matter what recognize that the situation is not necessarily a reflection of you.
No matter what know that you can live in forgiveness. If you know that you were right let it go and let God.
Remember all the good you do will be remembered.
