Outcomes of SYMET-13:
Who is to participate?
Education and training providers and beneficiaries such, heads of training institutions, researchers, policy makers, students, representatives of private sector, development partners, journalists and the general public.
As a part of its Education and Training Programme, WMO organizes, once every four years, a worldwide Symposium on Education and Training (SYMET), which is normally attended by educational and training experts from WMO Regional Training Centres (RTCs), National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs), development partners and other institutes involved in meteorological, hydrological and climatological education and training. Following the recommendation of the Sixty-Eighth WMO Executive Council Session (EC-68) (Geneva, June 2016) to organize one such Symposium during the current Financial Period, I am pleased to inform you that at the kind invitation of the Caribbean Meteorological Organization (CMO), the Thirteenth WMO Symposium on Education and Training (SYMET-XIII) will be held from Monday, 30 October to Wednesday, 1 November 2017 in Bridgetown, Barbados. The main theme of the Symposium is Education and Training for Human Resource Development in Meteorological and Hydrological Services.
The WMO education and training community are being tasked to improve the skills, knowledge and working methods of personnel, who through improved observing networks and a better use of meteorological and hydrological information and data, are required to produce forecasts and services that will result in greater safety of life and property and contribute to sustainable socio-economic development. Consequently, the ultimate aim of SYMET is to assist the international community as a whole, in particular the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services, to meet current meteorological and hydrological education and training challenges and those that are foreseen to arise over the next five to ten years.
Overall goal
The general goals of SYMET-XIII are to stimulate and facilitate the development of a vibrant and robust education and training capacity within the worldwide meteorological and hydrological community and to recommend possible new avenues for development. Our key objectives will be: Enhancing Service-specific Education and Training needs; Increasing Education and Training Capacity, and focusing on Partnership and Resource Mobilization. We intend to achieve these objectives by engaging the heads of meteorological/hydrological training institutions in discussions that address key education and training topics aimed at helping WMO Members enhance their capacity to meet needs for weather, climate, water and related environmental services and information in order to manage environmental risks.
The programme outline was put in place proposed after extensive consultation illustrates the key topics. A number of suitably qualified lecturers are being invited to present keynote papers, and additional contributed papers are sought. Panel, round-table and working group discussions will be encouraged to allow as many participants as possible to share their expertise on the critical issues. Electronic or traditional poster presentations, particularly for case-study papers, are encouraged. Plenary presentations are expected to be accompanied by simultaneous interpretation, but English will be the working language in many breakout group interactions. Due to limited time available for discussion during the symposium, three thematic papers will be available for online discussions on the Symposium website prior to the Symposium. The online forum will also give additional opportunity for inputs from those who are not able to attend.

text: WASHINGTON \u2013 The government and business communities haven't always been comrades in arms in cyberspace, but officials in both sectors say that public and private organizations need to better coordinate to address the evolving digital threats to critical infrastructureOctober marks Cybersecurity Awareness Month, an occasion Jay Healey, director of the Cyber Statecraft Initiative at the Atlantic Council, greeted with a stark warning."We've been losing. We've been losing every step of the way. We are still losing today," Healey said at an event hosted by the Information Technology Industry Council and the law firm King and Spalding. "If anything, the bad guys are continuing to pull away from us."In his public remarks on the issue, President Obama has framed cyber threats as an economic threat as well as a matter of national security, citing the monetary hit that businesses take when hackers steal intellectual property and breach their databases.That positioning was reflected in the cornerstone of the administration's cybersecurity policy work to date \u2013 the voluntary cybersecurity framework of guidelines and best practices for protecting the areas of critical infrastructure operated by the private sector that the Department of Commerce released this February.[ More: Tech Industry Praises Cybersecurity Framework From White House ]Earlier this week Obama hailed that framework, which emerged after meetings with thousands of stakeholders in industry and academia, as "a model of public-private cooperation."Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker and her top lieutenants have made digital issues an integral part of their economic policy work, according to DoC General Counsel Kelly Welsh. In that effort, he adds, the department treads a line between promulgating security standards and allowing for the fast-moving tech sector to develop at its own quicksilver pace."One critical challenge that we all face in doing that is how to protect against increasing cybersecurity risk without hampering the growth of our Internet economy," Welsh says. "We know that cybersecurity and innovation are not at odds. Solving the cybersecurity problem will require us to look beyond point-in-time solutions and focus on developing rigorous processes to stay ahead of the threat."Solving Cybersecurity Requires Public-Private Partnership Whatever a solution to the "cybersecurity problem" might look like, it will require closer collaboration both between government and the private sector and also among industry members to share information about emerging threats and vulnerabilities when the attackers so often seem a step ahead."Bad actors are sharing. That's how they get so good," says Bently Au, CISO at Toyota Motor Sales USA.[ Also: U.S. Agencies Explore Cybersecurity Incentives for Private Sector ]Opening the lines of communication on cybersecurity issues has been a work in progress. Those efforts took a step forward in April, however, when the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission issued a policy statement outlining a framework for companies to communicate with one another about cyber threats without running afoul of antitrust laws, which business leaders have identified as a chief concern when considering information-sharing policies.In the meantime, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the division of the Commerce Department that issued the administration's cybersecurity framework, has put out a call for comments from businesses that have put the guidelines into place. Commerce describes the NIST framework released earlier this year as "version 1.0" in its request for information, and Welsh stresses that the administration is eager to receive and incorporate feedback from industry. NIST has scheduled a workshop Oct. 29-30 in Tampa to discuss the framework."We are still in the early stages of an ongoing process," Welsh says. "We will continue to need a sustained and fulsome dialogue between government and private sector to ensure the framework is a living document."

A Keeper of Words
A Keeper of Words is the accompanying book to the Legend: The Arthurian Tarot, sold separately from the deck.
By Anna-Marie Ferguson · Book · Published by Llewellyn
Review by Bonnie Cehovet
The Keeper of Words is the companion book to Legend - The Arthurian Tarot (Anna-Marie Ferguson). I wish that I had gotten the book when I got the deck. This is one of my e-bay errors - I thought I was bidding on both, but I didn't read the fine print! ;-) I love the deck, which can certainly be used without the book as a reference, but the book adds immeasurable depth to readings with these cards.
Ferguson is a thoughtful, well spoken writer, and presents a thoroughly researched seaming of the Arthurian legend and the traditional Tarot. The title, The Keeper of Words, derives from the legend itself. Percivale, in some versions of the Arthurian legend, is a descendent of the Grail Guardians. After he achieves his quest, he fulfills his destiny in becoming custodian of the sacred words. The Grail King dubs Percivale as "The Keeper of Words", or "The Keeper of the High Word".
In defining the Major and Minor Arcana, Ferguson references the role of the Major Arcana as the "Gate Keepers of Higher Knowledge", and the role of the Minor Arcana as being that of "helping to bring a reading into focus". The symbolism in this deck is many-fold: it comes from Traditional Tarot, from the pre-Christian Pagan symbolism of the Arthurian times, and from the Christian symbolism of the Grail quest.
One comment made is that the reader will find in a reading what they need to find at that time - that the meaning of the symbols will alter slightly with each reading given, dependent on the situation being read for and the place that the Seeker is in their life path. I think students of Tarot need to take this to heart! Ferguson also makes the point that through myth we can access universal truths with great ease through symbols and archetypes. Think of the children's stories that frequented your childhood, and then think of how you view those stories now. The many layers become part of our psyche from the time we are able to form a personal understanding of what the "pictures" (symbols) mean to us.
The design on the back of the cards is known as "Julian's Bower", an actual maze found on a hillside in Lincolnshire, England. The dragon depicted on the face card of Legend - The Arthurian Tarot is the emblem of the Fellowship of the Round Table, with the dragon symbolically representing the primal energies of mother earth. Ferguson adds that Arthur's father, Uther, took the name Pendragon, indicating "Head Dragon", of "Foremost Leader", with the thought that perhaps the dragon symbolically represented chieftans or overlords. Of great interest to me was the presentation of the Celtic Cross spread, with Apple boughs, considered Otherworldly and held sacred by the Celts, being used to note the seasons of the year in the spread, as they surround the Tree of Life.
Each card in this deck corresponds with a person, place or activity from the Arthurian legend. The card, and its accompanying symbolism, is to be taken in the context of the moment in which it is presented, and not with the overlaying of the final "outcome" of the legend. Traditional titles are placed at the top of the cards, with the person, place or activity from the Arthurian legend placed on the bottom of the card. The cards are presented in the book with black and white scans, following the pattern of: Meaning, Reversed Meaning, Description and Symbolism, followed by a synopsis of the action taking place within the card. From the book:
9. The Hermit ruled by Virgo Lancelot In Exile
A need for solitude. Caring for the soul. Recuperating and slowly centering one's self. Cherishing time alone. Examining ones true feelings. Consulting the wisdom within. A need to pay close attention to dreams and the poignant teachings that they can embody.
Traditionally, the Hermit can represent a meeting with a wise person who may aid one's search, but ultimately the answers one seeks must found within; only then can they be fully realized.
Rejecting assistance from others. Fear and suspicion of the outside world prevents worthwhile interactions. An unwillingness to explore new ideas. The search for self knowledge has been hampered by brooding and depression. Dismissing sound advice.
Description and Symbolism:
Lancelot flees the turmoil of court life. The forest symbolizes a safe and provate environment in which to recuperate. Here, resembling a wild-man, he is free. Dropping all masks and pretenses he is closer to his true self andcan begin his search of the soul.
The roots of the tree symbolize a need to examine the health of one's foundation in order to find what has been weakened by neglect. In the stillness of the Hermit we tend to the needs of the mind and soul - for when the strong winds blow it is the strength of the roots that ensures the tree's survival.
Lancelot carries a torch in his left hand, indicating the subconscious at work, guiding and illuminating the way. This is a reminder to watch for the insights carried in dreams.
The spring depicted in the painting lies in the west country of England; it is believed to be of great antiquity and today carries the name of St. Andrew's Well. Many spring's were thought to have curative powers, and here, deep within the tangled forest, Lancelot finds the door that guards the sacred spring. This symbolizes a return to a long fogotten source of inspiration and spiritual fulfillment.
Lancelot in Exile:
Lancelot du Lac was the flower of chivalry; a role model to many knights and the passion of many women.
King Pelles had a beautiful daughter, known as Elaine of Corbenic, who was desparately in love with Lancelot. Unlike the other women of the court, Elaine was not deterred by Lancelot's love for the queen. Any chance they could be together lay with the magical arts of Elaine's lady-in-waiting. Brison was an enchantress who foresaw that the child of Lancelot and Elaine's union, Galahad, could benefit the land. And so Brison led Lancelot to Elaine's chambers and there made him beleive that Guinevere awaited inside.
As Lancelot lay with Elaine, Guenevere sent her lady-in-waiting to fetch him. When the maid reported that she found his bed cold, Guenevere flew into a rage. Suspecting Elaine, she raced to her chambers, where the two were found sleeping. In her fury, Guenevere banished them both from the court. It was only then that Lancelot realized that he had been deceived (or so he said). Lancelot was so grieved by Guenevere's words that he fell to the floor in a swoon. On awakening, he was quite out of his wits. Wearing only a shirt, he leapt out of the window and into the protection of the forest.
For two years Lancelot remained in the sanctuary of the woods, running with the animals and feeding on berries. The Knights of the Round Table searched for their friend to no avail. Though there were sightings, no one recognized the wild man as Lancelot du Lac until Elaine came upon him sleeping by a well. She immediately sent news of her find to King Pelles - guardian of the Grail. And so, by the virtue of the Grail, Lancelot's mind was healed.
Three spreads are included in this book: the Celtic Cross (which also has a sample reading); the Astrological Spread and the Horseshoe Spread. In her choice of spreads, Ferguson has gifted readers with a wide range of tools with which to approach the Tarot.
I highly recommend both book and deck - bought together! The gifts and symbolism carried within this myth/legend are far reaching. It is an excellent deck for any use, by students of all levels of Tarot understanding. Whether used for personal reading, reading for others, meditation, ritual/ceremony or dream work - this book and deck are wonderful tools of empowerment.

It's August. It's Florida. We were attending the Florida Outdoor Writers Association annual meeting in Lake City last week and it was hot. Every day.
As our schedule unfolded, we didn't have a lot of free time for a dip. But we went looking for springs, and I finally chilled off after a hike by spending some time in the cool waters of the Ichetucknee headspring.
Here's a peek at swimming holes where you can chill off in style along the Suwannee River Valley, in Suwannee and Columbia counties.
Suwannee Springs[30.394146,-82.933929] A sandy beach. A stone ruin more than a century old. Would you believe this was once a health spa? Now it's a cool place to chill on a bend in the Suwannee River right near Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park. Enjoy white sand beaches when the river is at normal levels. This one is within walking distance of the Florida Trail across the old US 129 bridge. LEARN MORE
Falmouth Springs[30.362278,-83.134247] A first-magnitude spring, this is one of Florida's weirder ones. It flows off and disappears: a sink and a riversink within the same setting. It continues underground to the Suwannee River, of course, much like the odd behavior of the Santa Fe River in O'Leno State Park. LEARN MORE
Charles Springs[30.167151,-83.230343] Shh! This one's a real secret and not easy to find. It's 1.2 miles southwest of the sharp bend in the road as you're headed south from Dowling Park towards Peacock Springs along Beulah Rd. A five acre historic site, this was once the location of a trading post with a ferryboat across the Suwannee River. LEARN MORE
Peacock Springs State Park[30.123125,-83.132305] Peacock Springs is more of a cave diver's destination than a place for swimmers, and the entry road is rough on passenger cars. Once you get down to the large parking area, it's time to visit the main springs – P1, P2, and P3. Swimming is permitted at these and at Orange Grove Sink, but you'll want to check on water clarity first. Orange Grove is socked in with a layer of green right now. The park is beautiful but certainly a mosquito magnet.
Starting at P1, where the boardwalk leads from the parking area, you'll encounter divers heading into the underwater chambers. Just beyond that platform is the beginning of a hiking loop that follows the cave diver's route from above, with photos along the way to show you what's under your feet. LEARN MORE
Royal Springs[30.084116,-83.074971] One of the prettiest deep springs we've seen along the Suwannee, Royal Springs boasts a platform for you to run and jump into the 52′ deep spring basin. Pathways lead in both directions from this point like a horseshoe, leading to overlooks and other access points that provide a gentle descent into the spring-fed outflow or the deep spring itself. As the grounds are very natural and the spring is very clear, it's an appealing destination for swimming. LEARN MORE
Little River Springs[29.997257,-82.966516] With a broad and generally shallow spring basin, Little River Springs is a picturesque swimming hole and county park along the Suwannee River. There are many access points down to the spring along one side of the rocky bowl it forms along the river. Observation decks are on the upriver side.
We were fascinated by the colorful mingling of spring water with river water in the broad mouth of the spring basin. LEARN MORE
Branford Springs[29.954885,-82.928219] One of the easiest springs to find in this area is just south of the intersection of US 27 and US 129 in Branford in Ivey Memorial Park. While small, this 15′ deep spring is accessible to swimmers by a boardwalk. Since it is so close to the river, it easily gets swamped by floodwaters, so water quality is heavily dependent on river levels. LEARN MORE
Ichetucknee Springs State Park[29.984736,-82.762814] I splashed into these springs, and you can too. While Ichetucknee is well known as a place to go tubing — and you'll see dozens of small springs as you drift down the river from the north end — there are two notable springs for swimming. Everyone sees the Ichetucknee headspring as they walk to the tubing put-in, but surprisingly few people enter the cool waters for a swim on a hot afternoon, which is the best time to splash in here. Mornings are too busy.
For an even quieter place for a swim, have your swimsuit on before you hit the trail. Follow the boardwalk next to the "Headspring Trail" sign and it will lead you to a trail meandering a half mile to Blue Hole. This is a much larger and deeper first-magnitude spring where rainbows play across the eelgrass on the bottom. LEARN MORE

GST is not a tax reform but a business reform- We are sure you must have heard or read this statement many times in the last one year.
GST will change the way business decisions are made regarding vendors selection and procurement of goods or services. India will be one market and entry barrier on account of tax exemptions and tax rate will no longer be applicable. Check posts will go away and entry tax will get merged in GST. Removal of cascading effect due to non-credit among prevailing indirect taxes is expected to reduce the prices of goods and services in many cases. This would require reconsideration of your existing vendor base and procurement policy.
7 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Ignore GST Impact on Vendor Management.
1. Procurement from registered vendors will be cheaper.
The basic structure of GST is to create a seamless credit mechanism across the supply chain till the final consumption of goods or services. This would be possible only when you are procuring goods or services from the registered vendor. When you'll compare the prices of a registered and unregistered vendor, you would find that price of registered vendor comes cheaper and the simple reason is that he is able to pass on the GST paid while procuring the goods being supplied to you. However, in case of unregistered vendor, he'll not be able to take the credit of GST paid while procuring the goods and the same shall be loaded in the cost of goods being supplied to you.
2. Reverse charge liability for procurement from unregistered vendors
Another reason, why you should procure from a registered vendor only is that you would be required to pay the GST on all the supplies procured from the unregistered vendors under reverse charge basis. This will increase your compliance cost significantly. Further, you would be required to ascertain the GST rate for the specific goods or services procured from the unregistered vendors.
3. Avoid procuring from vendors who are availing composition scheme
Goods from the vendor who has opted for composition would be expensive for two reasons:
i) The vendor is not able to take the credit of GST paid on raw material or finished goods which are being supplied to you and the same will constitute the cost of goods.
ii) 1% tax levied by the vendor will not be available as input credit to you.
You would be required to carry out the cost benefit analysis for all the supplies from the vendor availing the composition scheme. In some cases, the goods supplied by such vendor might be cheaper because of the logistic reason, the proximity to your location.
4. Unorganized vendor is not likely to pass on the price benefits due to GST
There is one more category of vendors which you need to deal effectively – the Unorganized Sector. The vendors might be registered but may not be willing to pass on the reduction in GST rate or benefits on account of input tax credit. The companies should start engaging with their vendors in this sector early on to understand their preparedness for GST.
Further, any delay or error in depositing GST by the vendors will lead to multiple reconciliation issues.
5. Agreements or contracts with vendors require relook
It's important to review the terms and conditions related to indirect taxes in the agreement with vendors. One very important clause should be inserted in the contract which relates to passing on the benefits on account of reduction in rate of tax or input tax credit. There is a separate Section 171 in the Central GST Act,2017 which requires every taxpayer to pass on any reduction in rate of tax on any supply of goods or services or the benefit of input tax credit.
Further, Purchase Order should specifically mention that either the GST amount will be paid after the vendor has deposited the GST and filed the return or vendor will bear the interest and penalty due to reversal of credit because of delay or error in depositing of GST/Return by the vendor.
6. Practice of making advance payment to be restricted
In the GST regime, a supplier is liable to deposit the GST on any advance payment received for supply of goods or services. However, the tax payer who is making such advance payment can not avail the input tax credit unless all the four conditions of availing the input credit are satisfied. This mismatch will create timing difference between payment of GST and availment of input credit. Additionally, reconciliation issues will crop up because of this time lag. So, it's advisable in the beginning to avoid making advance payment to the vendors, to the extent possible.
7. Vendor selection strategy
So far, vendor selection strategy was largely based on the indirect tax benefits as seamless credit was not allowed between State and Central Indirect taxes. Under GST, whole India will be one market and rates of taxes would also be same. In addition to cost and quality of goods or services, some other criteria for vendor selection can be as below:
Check the compliance rating of vendors. It will take some time before the compliance rating starts reflecting in the public domain which is expected to be largely based on the criteria like timely deposit of taxes and returns.
Logistic cost for supply of goods or services
Category of GST registration of vendor, i.e. Registered, Unregistered, Composition Scheme etc.
In short, it's a high time that you gear up to take control and assess your vendor management strategy to insulate your business from the potential risks.

Live your best life in a pretty pastel universe with these star press-on nails from MyNailBox on Etsy. The combo of plain pastel and star-studded nails is cute but classy. Plus, the stars are handpainted and finished with sugar-effect glitter.

The options include square, oval, coffin, stiletto, and almond shapes, all of which come in both regular and long.
Press On Nail Glues
Many press-on nail sets come with adhesives and glue; however, buying a separate bottle of glue can be a good idea. Often the quality will be better, meaning a longer-lasting press-on manicure. Additionally, if you've invested in a reusable set of nails, you'll eventually need to replenish your glue stock. Finally, nail glue has alternate uses. It's handy to have around for general life repairs, such as fixing your favorite dinosaur pen that you dropped or gluing a broken earring back together.
Press-On Nails FAQs
What does press on nails mean?
Press-on nails are artificial nails made of an acrylic resin, although the formula may differ depending on the brand you choose. They are super easy-to-wear and can be applied with adhesive tape or nail glue. This option is great for those who want a temporary manicure that is easy to do at home.
Do press on nails damage real nails?
Press-on nails should not cause any damage to your real nails if you take care during the application and removal process. Over time, the glue used to secure the nails could weaken your own, so it is advisable to have a break between applying them. Purchasing high-quality and durable press-ons from a reputable company will also help lessen the chance of any damage.
What is better to press on or glue on nails?
To press on nails with an adhesive tape or glue is, in general, a much better option for your natural nails than an acrylic or gel manicure. Don't be too rough with the glue and your nails during the removal process. It is very unlikely that you will experience any damage, making this one of the most popular options for women concerned about removing artificial talons.

Last Thursday evening he had a little fever so I gave him some Motrin and he was off to bed- Friday I did not send him to school because the fever was back...It seemed to be controlled with doing the Tylenol / Motrin mix...He had no other symptoms other than fever...loss of appetite but that was really it-
Here we are on our way to Target- I thought he was looking funny with his shades :)
Even though he wasn't feeling 100% I needed to grab a few items from Target. When I was getting the laundry detergent he told me I needed to buy this one (the one he is pointing to) because it takes out stains!!! I nearly feel over...I said- oh ya...how do you know that one takes out stains? And he said because it said so on the commercial :) Ya! I think we have been watching a little to much TV lately :) Funny enough for me to take a picture though :) he he...
Pretty late Friday night he spiked a fever of 104.7 I was like this can not be right so I took it again 104.4 he was shaking and saying he was cold...I tried not to panic... gave him a dose of medicine and laid in bed and prayed over him and put a cool wet wash cloth on his head... The fever broke and he seemed to be fairly normal on Saturday...I was thinking it was just a 24 hour bug...we laid low most of the day but did let him go to his good buddy's 5th Birthday party...
A sponge race...
And a balloon race...he won both :)
My sweet friend Val holding #2 with #3 on the way :)
This kid loves pinatas :)
Transformers...more than meets the eye :)
So...Saturday we did some preventive medicine and thought we were on the mends...Then Sunday came: He now had a mild red rash on his face and neck...but managed to get some of the spooky decorations up :)
Evan & Daddy working on getting the spider web up :)
The web :)
The web & pumpkins :) We also have spooky ghosts in the trees but I have not taken a pict of that yet :)
So that brings us to Monday: I did not send him to school because he sleep late...which I wanted him to get his rest but also the little rash had now moved from his face and neck to his chest, stomach, back and arms! He still had no fever just this weired rash...So I called the pediatrician and got the first appt which was on Tuesday just to see what was going on.
Here is my non-compliant little love child hiding at the pediatricians office!!!
Oh ya...good times!
So her conclusion is he had a virus which is now gone and the rash is just a secondary thing that is not contagious & will just go away... And if it doesn't in a month to come back...hello a month!!! Thank goodness it already seems just about gone :)
Which brings us to tonight...Tonight was Tristan's friend party...I guess I didn't clarify...Saturday was his family party and tonight was his friend party @ Chuck E Cheese :)
I wasn't going to take that many pictures because hello...how many times have we been to Chuck E Cheese now...But I was shocked! Evan did sooo good :) Like he made the first 4 Basketball shots and...
Was whipping that little arm of his & getting the ball where it was suppose to be!!! You know instead of it rolling right back at him :) I was surprised how his skill level has changed :) I didn't post the other shot of him at this game but he just looks soooo tall to me now!!! Would someone please make something to stop all of this growing up that just keeps happening!!! :)
Evan and Tristan waiting for their piece of cake!!!
Happy 5th Birthday buddy!!!
Seriously...where has the time gone...the boys meet when Evan was 6 months old and Tristan just turned a year!!! I guess I will be saying that every year!!! It just feels like yesterday they were baby's...today they are 5 (almost 5) so what tomm. they are going to be teenagers!!! God help us all :) he he...

Advent: welcoming Jesus
If you grew up like me, you grew up in a home that did a great job of celebrating the birth of Jesus each year, but without much liturgy. I didn't grow up in a liturgical church so it should be no surprise that liturgy wasn't a part of our our celebrations. In fact, I didn't really know what Advent was until I was a worship pastor at a church and my lead pastor said we should have Advent candles in our services this season. I said, absolutely…then quickly googled "advent candles".
Since that time I have a better understanding of Advent. For those of you who grew up like me, let me take a moment to give you some basics. Advent is the season of time leading up to Christmas. It starts 4 Sundays prior to Christmas. It is the beginning of the liturgical calendar, which would also include dates such as Palm Sunday, Good Friday & Easter.
But these simple facts don't get at the heart of Advent. If you stop there, Advent is just another thing we do at church – but Advent is so much more. In Advent we are given a season of expectant waiting for the coming of the baby Jesus. It gives us a chance to slow down during a season that is constantly speeding up all around us.
It's a season of preparation.
Of welcome.
Yes…of welcome.
What could be a better way to go through the Advent season than with an attitude of welcome towards Jesus. Just as the shepherds welcomed the baby Jesus lying in a manger into this world, we can welcome him into our our lives and daily routines this Advent season.
Welcome Jesus into your home. Welcome Him into your conversations.
Welcome Him into your workplace. (I can think of no better way to ensure that you are the same person at home as you are at work than by welcoming Him into these times with you.)
How about welcoming Jesus into your confrontations, bad attitudes, parenting, arguments, marriage.
You see, as we welcome Jesus into these spaces we are giving Him an opportunity and the authority to bring transformation. To transform our bad attitudes to good attitudes. To transform our parenting, marriages, and friendships into relationship that reflect the forgiveness and grace of our Lord. In our confrontations we no longer go for the jugular, but bring peace and love (with truth).
So let's purposefully welcome Jesus in this Advent season.

We are celebrating Advent as well in our church. I think it is important for those of us who grew up in pentecostal and evangelical churches like I did to get to know what Advent is all about..
The four candles:
The first represents Isaiah and other prophets in the bible that predicted the coming of Jesus.
The second represents the bible.
The third represents Mary, the mother of Jesus.
The fourth represents John the Baptist, Jesus' cousin, who told the people in Israel to get ready for Jesus' teaching.
The middle or separate candle is lit on Christmas Day and represents Jesus.
Being people of the Book shouldn't we want to know everything we can about why the book was written?
I have been reading a wonderful book called The Archko Volume; the authors who wrote this book in the late 1800's researched and studied many of the thousands of ancient manuscripts found not only at the Vatican but also at Constantinople. One of the chapters is Jonathan's interview with the Bethlehem shepherds, letter of Melker, Priest of the Synagogue at Bethlehem.
What amazing details from such old manuscripts, but then again, they wrote down everything then. There is also Caiaphas' report to the Sanhedrin concerning the execution of Jesus and also his report to the Sanhedrin of the resurrection of Jesus and Jesus appearing to him behind a locked door in his own home after the resurrection.
Let us never forget that His destiny was to change our destiny. Merry CHRISTmas.

@Gary – yes, it's true those of us who grew up with a pentecostal heritage tend to not have has much experience with Advent. Advent can be very meaningful, when practiced with the right heart — much like lent.
What I have found in my research, and I'll admit it's not exhaustive and therefore not an expert opinion, the candles can mean different things depending on your church tradition. In fact, even within the liturgical calendar there is room to vary what you are celebrating from year to year. When I first started researching Advent it was very confusing.
Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Deeper Than the Skin
This show is not just one of random talk.
This is not just a concert of songs that simply entertains.
"Deeper Than the Skin" is a experience of singing and listening… of experiencing and sharing a connection so deep that touches your being and engages your mind… it makes you laugh, smile, cry and reconsider what you know about our history. And it's an invitation to open your heart and mind to a story of shared humanity that resonates with your own.
Reggie Harris and Greg Greenway… Two friends…one Black, one White… one from the North… one from the South. Musicians, storytellers, students of history and world travelers… born 3 days apart!
Two separate narratives forged into one powerful friendship aimed at finding common ground and helping others to do the same.
"Deeper Than the Skin" recounts a remarkable journey that started 30 years ago and is now offering hope to people all over the nation. It's a presentation that ends with an open dialogue that moves the audience from emotion into action…that gives voice and direction to the question "What can I do to improve our nation?"
"Deeper Than the Skin" is an interactive, engaging invitation to take a step into our present reality. It's an affirmation of the notion that a more perfect union begins…. with us!
"Deeper Than The Skin" is an absolutely amazing experience. Not a performance (although these are two fine performers) but an experience. If you are anywhere within reach of this, don't miss it."

author of "Southern Witness"

Sovran Self Storage Inc. today reported that the recent action taken by Fitch Ratings to adjust the credit rating of its unsecured term notes and revolving line of credit to BB+ from BBB- will result in higher interest costs and have an impact on its second quarter and full year 2009 net income and funds from operations.
As of March 31, the company had $500 million of unsecured term notes outstanding. The blended interest rate on these notes will increase from 6.14 percent to 6.93 percent as a result of the ratings adjustment. The interest rate on Sovran's $125 million revolving line of credit will increase from LIBOR plus 1.375 percent to LIBOR plus 1.75 percent.
As a result of these rate increases, Sovran expects to incur additional interest costs of approximately $2.6 million for the balance of 2009, and further expects to report a second-quarter charge of up to $1 million in waiver, amendment and legal fees associated with its various unsecured notes. Accordingly, FFO guidance for the second quarter has been reduced by $0.08 per share to a projected range of $0.65 to $0.67, and by $0.17 per share for the year to between $2.83 and $2.91.
"We are obviously disappointed in this unexpected action taken by Fitch. We believe this abrupt change is unwarranted based on our long corporate history of conservatively managing our balance sheet and operations," said David Rogers chief financial officer. "We employ modest leverage, have no significant debt maturing for at least three years, and maintain a strong debt-coverage ratio. We will be working in the coming weeks to re-achieve the favorable interest rates we feel our capital structure warrants."
Sovran is a self-storage real estate investment trust that operates 385 facilities in 24 states under the name Uncle Bob's Self Storage.

Shock waves have been sent through the national media today by The Telegraph's Bryony Gordon. Seemingly tasked with making Colonels splutter into their cornflakes, the former 3am Girl this week devoted her entire column to her ample bosom and the debate surrounding topless sunbathing. Something about the piece got Guido thinking, so he got the Guy News Fact Check team on the case.
In the article Bryony claims:
"When I go on holiday, I like to sunbathe topless. The beach towel goes down, the book comes out, and the bikini top flies off, often in the direction of a startled looking friend who has clearly never seen a pair of breasts before. Topless sunbathing is a wonderful thing, a holiday in itself from underwired bras… Many believe that the topless sunbather is an exhibitionist, a minx and a strumpet. They are mistaken – mostly, we just don't like tan lines. And we don't mind our breasts. Is that such a bad thing?"
But the picture tells a different story. Here is Bryony snapped on holiday, displaying clear and obvious tan-lines where her bikini top has been. Fact Check verdict? Fiction.

Cardinal O'Malley Delivers Strong Message About Why Suicide Is Wrong
Video homily beginning of archdiocesan effort to counter statewide ballot initiative.
BOSTON — The practice of physician-assisted suicide "is being presented as a way for the terminally ill to have greater freedom at the end of life," said Boston Cardinal Seán O'Malley. "However, it would create pressures to limit our freedom, because it could establish an expectation that certain people will be better served by being dead, a dubious premise indeed."
So said the cardinal in a videotaped homily distributed to around 300 parishes and other locations where Masses were being celebrated in the Archdiocese of Boston on the weekend of Feb. 11-12.
"The Fifth Commandment states, 'Thou shall not kill.' This certainly includes killing to alleviate suffering. Doctor-assisted suicide occurs when a doctor assists the patient to end his own life, even though he does not directly administer the lethal drug. It is doctor-prescribed death," said Cardinal O'Malley.
The address marks the launch of an archdiocesan campaign to educate Catholics about a current ballot initiative that seeks to legalize physician-assisted suicide in the state.
The so-called "Massachusetts Death With Dignity Act" seeks to allow adults, 18 years of age and older, to be able to self-administer lethal drugs if their physicians have determined they have a terminal disease that "will, within reasonable medical judgment, produce death within six months." The provision also requires that the process be "entirely voluntary on the part of all participants" and the adult has "the capacity to make health-care decisions."
Parishes and religious shrines received a DVD and CDs of the talk. To some parishes, audio recordings of the cardinal delivering the message in Spanish and Portuguese were also given.
In his address, the cardinal addressed misconceptions about Catholic teaching on suffering and medical treatment, the ramifications of related measures taken in the Netherlands and in Oregon, and flaws in the structure of the bill.
"The bill also requires two witnesses to attest to the patient's competence. But one of the witnesses can be a total stranger, and another can be the sick person's heir. Alfred Hitchcock would make movies about this stuff," said Cardinal O'Malley.
Stephen Crawford, communications director for Dignity 2012, the supporting group of the initiative, spoke to The Boston Globe about the campaign.
"The College of Cardinals' opposition to the Death With Dignity Act has been widely known for some time. We respect their opinion. We believe that the people of Massachusetts are ready for the discussion about providing terminally ill patients with greater choice and compassion in their final days," Crawford said in a Feb. 11 Globe article.
Integrated Messaging
Besides the DVDs and CDs, parishes received posters, pew cards, brochures and a resource guide about the situation. One can watch the cardinal's message on a new website, created in response to the ballot initiative.
The website also contains all of the printed materials in an electronic format, along with resources and links about the Church's teaching on end-of-life care. Future educational events will be listed, and archdiocesan news articles and opinion pieces are currently linked on the site.
According to Janet Benestad, the secretary of faith formation and evangelization for the archdiocese, images on the website were carefully chosen from real-life Catholic health organizations and are of real patients and caregivers.
She said existing brochures on the related topic "tend to be very glum."
"You know, pictures of people looking hopelessly out a window or trays of pills — things like that. I was determined that that would not be the images people would see," said Benestad.
Instead, she said the images would be of "capable, expert people taking care of people who are very sick and doing it in a joyful and steadfast way. You know, an image of hope."
Some of these images are also intercut in the cardinal's video message.
The archdiocesan effort is a collaboration of several groups in or associated with the diocese. One of the groups Benestad and her team worked closely with was the media group headed by Scot Landry, the secretary of Catholic media for the archdiocese, which includes an in-house printing operation.
For Landry and associates, this is not a new process. The group has worked a number of previous campaigns, from last year's "Catholics Come Home" to a reoccurring effort to promote the sacrament of reconciliation called "The Light Is On for You."
While every diocese may not have the in-house capabilities of Boston, Landry said, "I think it's critical to have a communication operation that can get messaging out in various formats and various languages quickly."
"There are plenty of people who have the skills out there who can freelance. It's important to build a relationship with one, so that after you do it (a campaign) the first time, the process and the time to execute it the next time is just shorter — because you've invested into the relationship."
Important Points
Alexis Walkenstein watched the cardinal's message during Mass at St. Patrick's Parish in nearby Natick and called it "terrific." She said the archbishop "hit all the right points on why doctor-prescribed death is not compassionate care of the sick."
Walkenstein is the vice president of media and communication for the Maximus Group, a public relations firm that often promotes Catholic movies and books.
She noted the crucifix that hangs in the background behind Cardinal O'Malley during his video address.
"That was a visual reinforcement of the message from the cardinal that we don't shrink back from suffering, but we enter in with the Lord," said Walkenstein.
However, Cardinal O'Malley, Benestad and Landry want to drive home two messages to Catholics about Church teaching: Suffering is not a "good" expected for Catholics to just grin and bear without aid and that Catholics do not have to accept every medical treatment available for their medical condition.
"Burdensome and futile treatments may be refused, as in the case of older patients who need not have risky surgery or painful chemotherapy in order to gain a few more months of life," said Cardinal O'Malley.
The next significant step for the ballot initiative happens on March 6, when members of the Massachusetts Legislature accept testimony about the initiative. According to Benestad, even if the legislature were to strike down the proposed measure, only around 11,000 additional signatures would be needed to get it on the ballot.
The view of the cardinal was that Massachusetts's voters would see the initiative on the November ballot. He called on Catholics to join with others who are concerned about the ballot measure, such as advocates for disability rights and members of the "healing professions," and promote "life-affirming solutions" for the "hardships" of those who are seriously ill or disabled.
"We should ensure that the families of people with terminal illnesses will never feel that they've been left alone in caring for their needs," said Cardinal O'Malley.
Toward the end of his address, he asked parishioners to do three things — visit and pray for the sick and dying and pray for their caregivers; resist believing language used by proponents of prescribed suicide such as "dignity," "mercy," "compassion" and "aid in dying," and finally to become educated "as much as possible on assisted suicide and share that knowledge with others." He directed people to the printed materials and the website.
As he stated earlier in his address, "St. Paul exhorts us today to be imitators of Christ, who stretches out his hand in compassion toward the sick. This is the model that we as Christians have emulated for centuries in our hospitals, nursing homes and treatment centers."
Register correspondent Justin Bell writes from Boston.

Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness - Manistee National Forest
Buy the $.99 downloadable map!(This map is not geo-referenced)
Trail Details
True wilderness or not, though, there is no question that this niche of windblown dunes, wetlands, and rolling hills of hardwoods and conifers is a unique spot for southern Michigan and even for the western side of the state, which is famous for having the world's most extensive set of freshwater dunes. The most striking feature of this area is its undeveloped nature, most notably along the 4 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline. Paralleling the shoreline are open dunes and forested bluffs, and skirting the edge of these is a foot path that at one time was called the Michigan Trail.
In the nature of a true wilderness, Nordhouse Dunes was stripped of its signs, markings, and even names for trails. But this path is worthy of its title. Lying like a thread between the roar of the Lake Michigan surf and the quiet interior of the forests, this route is not only one of the most scenic hikes in Michigan but possibly in the Midwest. The actual trail stretches 1.9 miles from the Lake Michigan Recreation Area to a stretch of open dunes. You then complete this 6.5-mile loop by following a trail to the Nurnberg Road trailhead, where you pick up another path to the campground. Alternatively, spurs allow you to depart the shoreline earlier and shorten the hike to either 2.4 miles or 5.5 miles.
Encounters with people are also likely, especially during July and August or on trails near the Lake Michigan Recreation Area.

British police officers investigating the 2007 disappearance of 3-year-old Madeleine McCann from a Portugal resort have reportedly uncovered new details about two bogus charity workers operating in the area around the time of the girl's disappearance.
The British Sunday Mirror paper reported that the two men, described as being in their mid-50s with heavy builds, were seen knocking on doors in the apartment building used by Madeleine's parents. Investigators have been told that the men claimed to be fundraisers for disabled children and handed out yellow double-sided calling cards showing a girl in a wheelchair on one side and a few lines of Portuguese and English on the other.
Police have previously issued images of the two men, but had described them as being Portuguese. Investigators now believe that the men are from Eastern Europe and have long since left the area, though the duo are thought to have operated in other resorts in Portugal.
The new information came to light amid a fresh wave of tips received by Scotland Yard after the case was featured on an episode of the BBC show "Crimewatch."
Earlier this week, Detective Chief Inspector Andy Greenwood said that police are also searching for a man who authorities believe sexually assaulted five British girls who were vacationing with their families in Portugal.
The unknown man is suspected of gaining access into a total of 12 villas occupied by British families between 2004 and 2010 in the area. In four cases, which occurred between 2004 and 2006, he sexually assaulted girls while they were in their beds, police said. In once instance, he attacked two girls staying in the same villa.
Madeleine McCann disappeared from her family's resort apartment on the night of May 3, 2007, while her parents were having dinner at a nearby restaurant. Portuguese police investigated Madeleine's parents, Gerry and Kate McCann as suspects before shelving the inquiry in 2008. However, this past October, the local authorities admitted that enough new evidence had come to light to re-open the case.
The Mirror reported that Scotland Yard has so far written three international letters of request to the Portuguese, covering 41 priority areas and including 287 separate requests related to the investigation. However, the British have reportedly grown frustrated with their Portuguese colleagues at the slow pace of the investigation.

In this post I will give you 5 of what I feel are some of the best practices to optimise your mobile sites for mobile search. There are plenty more, so feel free to add yours to the comments or if you have other ideas entirely I'd love to know!
1 – Ensure your site is mobile friendly.
Whether it be a dedicated mobile site or a mobile version of your current site it is always important to think about your audience and the sites usability. If the site is difficult to use then you are likely to have a high bounce rate and seeing as that can be a ranking factor, you should ensure that the site is built first and foremost for the user.
The same things apply with mobile sites that apply to desktop sites. The content, the keywords and the links to name a few, all form the on-page ranking factors of a mobile site but you have to be weary of the reduced real estate. With the reduced size you would have to consider dropping some of the links on page and (in the case of a dedicated site) reduce the content levels too. Where possible with dedicated sites it is a good idea to submit a dedicated mobile sitemap.xml file to Webmaster tools.
A great example of a responsive design website is the one you are currently on. If you are reading this on a mobile browser you already know what I am talking about, but if you are on your desktop, hold down Ctrl and use the mouse the scroll. You will see how the site looks on sites with different screen sizes. Go on…. I dare you!
2 – Pick mobile friendly keywords.
Research has shown that on average mobile keyword strings are around 25% shorter and users tend not to search for entirely the same keywords as they would from a mobile device as they would from their desktop. If you have a responsive designed site it is important to think about the mobile user at the keyword research phase; however, if you are creating a dedicated mobile site you should make sure you are targeting mobile keyword strings from the start to create good targeted meta, titles and content.
Google Adwords Keyword tool has a good feature which allows you to filter by mobile and desktop device when you are researching keywords. This easily helps you to target keywords to your mobile pages that historically have been searched for on a mobile device.
3 – Think Local and Localisation!
Almost half of all local searches performed are done on mobile devices and with that number likely to increase you should make sure that Local search is part of your mobile website optimisation strategy where possible. Obviously if you are a brand with no need for location specific searches there is no need to think about this however for mobile sites that rely on local business it is an important box to tick.
Inserting the geo-location before the closing </head> of the page is one way to tell search engines where you are and that your location is important. Creating business profiles with links back to your mobile site on review sites such as Yelp will further show your location as being important, as well as offering potential customers a chance to see what past customers thought of your business or service.
A must is to ensure you have a Google places profile set up for the site. Whether it be a dedicated mobile site or a responsive design it's imperative to have a profile set up if location is important to your business.
Local search isn't the only thing you can target with locations. You can target an entire country or region if you would prefer using many of the same methods.
4 – Fast is good – Slow is bad.
As with normal desktop site SEO, site speed can be a ranking factor with a fast site is seen as a good site from the users and search engines point of view. With mobiles primarily being, well, mobile they aren't always connected to a home or work WiFi connection. This means that data needs to be quickly downloaded to the device. Having an image rich or highly scripted site will undoubtedly slow it down, especially over a mobile connection and this can effect usability and bounce rates. Search engines will also look at the site speed in a similar way and rankings could be adjusted to reflect that.
From another perspective, having a fast, clean and easy to use mobile site can work in your favour not just from the rankings point of view but also from a usability standpoint. If your site has a great user experience you may receive more links to it and even more direct visits by word of mouth.
5 – Make use of the data available.
In the same way you would with standard SEO, you can look at the data coming from mobile devices. This data can be used to identify pages with high bounce rates, organic keywords that are driving users to the site and even data on the type of device being used. All of these different metrics can help you to identify areas where your mobile site needs further optimisation or different areas that you can exploit. For example if you own a mobile site that sells, let's say, Hats in Sheffield and you notice that the keywords 'Black Hats Sheffield' is bringing good organic keyword traffic from mobile search to your mobile site. You could exploit that by creating an individual mobile page for 'Black Hats' or make changes to the site's content to better reflect the volume of users looking for that term.
If you have a mobile site already or are thinking of getting one it is a good idea to look at How To Go Mo so you can see how your current site looks and get good tips on where to go moving forward with mobile.
As I said, like with standard SEO there are plenty of other boxes to tick and there are plenty of Mobile SEO myths floating around the internet. If you have any more mobile SEO boxes you feel are important to tick or have a different opinion altogether please leave a comment and we can argue it out!

With the stock market at all-time highs, and political, economic, and interest-rate uncertainty making many investors uneasy, it's important to take a step back and remain objective. Few investors have done a better job of navigating uncertain times than Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A) (NYSE: BRK-B) CEO Warren Buffett, and here are three pieces of Buffett wisdom that may help you keep things in perspective and improve your financial health.
Don't stop investing in America, no matter who's in charge
After the November election, but before President Donald Trump took office, Buffett was asked in a CNBC interview about his expectations for the stock market under the Trump administration. Buffett was an outspoken Hillary Clinton supporter, so many people thought the Oracle of Omaha might be worried about his investments.
Buffett simply replied, "Never bet against America."
In other words, if you're investing for the long term, keep the long term in mind. And over the long run, investors couldn't be in better shape. "America works ... I've said this before, it'll work wonderfully under Hillary Clinton, and I think it'll work fine under Donald Trump," Buffett said. Buffett also pointed out at Berkshire's most recent annual meeting that the company and its long-term-focused investment strategy have done just fine in a variety of political and economic climates over the past 50 years.
The takeaway is that it would be a mistake to sell your investments and keep cash on the sidelines, or stop contributing to your brokerage accounts, simply because of short-term political uncertainty. Just keep your eye on the long term, and if the stock market does happen to crash, you should look at it as an opportunity to find bargains, not as a reason to panic.
Picking stocks is not for everyone
Even though Buffett has a positive long-term outlook on American business, that doesn't mean the average American should start picking stocks to buy. Quite the opposite, actually.
Buffett has said on several occasions that the best investment most people can make is a basic, low-cost S&P 500 index fund, like the one he used in his $500,000 bet to outperform a basket of hedge funds. Buffett has specifically referenced Vanguard's product, and the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO) is highly accessible and affordable to average investors, charging a rock-bottom 0.04% expense ratio. Buffett has even gone so far as to say that he'd like his wife to invest in such a fund after he's gone -- not Berkshire stock.
The basic idea is that the average American doesn't have the time, desire, or knowledge to properly evaluate stocks, and to monitor and maintain a properly diversified portfolio on an ongoing basis. If you do, we encourage you to do it. Rather, the point is that for the average American -- who invests primarily in mutual funds, not individual stocks -- index fund investing is the smartest way to go.
It's no secret that most actively managed funds don't beat the market. Conversely, an S&P 500 index fund will, by definition, match the stock market's performance. Over long periods of time, the S&P 500 has averaged total returns in the 9%-10% range. To put this kind of performance into perspective, let's say you invest $5,000 in an S&P 500 index fund for 30 years, so $150,000 total. If your investment grows by 9% per year, on average, you'd have more than $680,000, thanks to the power of compound returns.
Don't underestimate the importance of keeping some cash handy
Over the years, Berkshire Hathaway has done a great job at outperforming the market during recessions and crashes, and then coming out of them in even better shape that before. One major reason is that Buffett understands the value of keeping an "emergency fund."
As Buffett has said, "Cash is to a business as oxygen is to an individual: never thought about when it is present; the only thing in mind when it is absent."
While Buffett's minimum emergency fund of $20 billion is on an entirely different scale from what you need, the same logic applies to everyday Americans. About half of Americans can't cover an unexpected $400 expense without borrowing the money or selling something. For investors, this could lead to costly credit card debt that eats away at your wallet, or the need to sell investments that you'd be better off keeping for the long term.
The amount of emergency cash you need varies depending on your personal situation, but you may be surprised at how much of an impact that a seemingly small stockpile of cash could have on your overall financial health.
