WEATHER can be a great equalizer. It can also be a way to make conversation with just about everyone.
No wonder, then, that the weather forecast is one of the pieces of information many of us crave when starting each day — and that weather apps are among the most frequently used programs on smartphones.
Weather apps aren't all created equal, though. The built-in apps on iPhones and Android phones are perfectly serviceable, offering glanceable forecasts for as many cities as you want, and they're tied into the phones' virtual assistants. But weather technology — both the creation and presentation of forecasts — is evolving quickly. It's worth checking out the options.
For prettier backdrops, Yahoo Weather is hands down the most gorgeous app out there. Weather Underground's app is for budding meteorologists who want to dig deep into weather conditions, and Dark Sky's mesmerizing globe of animated weather patterns is a great party trick.
In the end, though, finding the right weather app is really a matter of personal taste in the design, how much information you want and, crucially, how much you trust the forecast. And there is a bit of a philosophical difference brewing in terms of how those forecasts are created.
Now, weather apps are often powered by one of a few sources of information, including the Weather Channel and Weather Underground (both of which are owned by the Weather Company), and Weatherbug and AccuWeather.
The forecasts coming from those services combine data from the National Weather Service, weather balloons, satellites, NASA and local stations dotted all over the country, as well as various other sensors. All of that raw information forms a rough picture of what's happening in the atmosphere at any given time.
Then, a meteorologist usually comes in to interpret and analyze the data and, based on a mix of experience and education, chooses the information on which to base a forecast.
The data and forecasts created in that way power many weather apps. The Weather Channel provides Apple's built-in forecasts, for example, while Weather Underground provides data for Google's weather and powers Yahoo Weather.
Those data and forecast providers all have their own apps as well. The Weather Channel app, for example, offers useful information like airport conditions and flu outbreak updates by region, while Weather Underground has the richest (and geekiest) information. For my taste, Weatherbug is the best app offered by the main providers, because it offers niceties like the ability to sort your forecast by whether it's a good day for golf or one that is likely to cause dry skin.
But the folks behind Dark Sky, a popular and visually stunning weather app, are doing things a bit differently. That company formed about three years ago to create a new kind of forecast that would use radar data to predict whether it was going to rain — or stop raining — in an immediate location and within the next hour.
No one was really doing that, said Adam Grossman, a co-creator of the Dark Sky app. So the company had to build its own computer programs for figuring out radar data for that one example: Is it going to be raining an hour from now in this one, specific spot?
That work evolved into longer-term forecasting, and led to a separate product called Forecast. Mr. Grossman says the weather predictions all come from computers; no meteorologists are involved. Algorithms compare predictions from various stations or weather sources with historical accuracy and spit out purely statistical predictions.
"We get a lot of flak from meteorologists who say computers can't do it and you always need a human in there to call the shots," Mr. Grossman said. "But humans are really bad at forecasting. When it comes to weather forecasting it's best to leave it to the computers."
It's a bit like "Moneyball" hits weather prediction — the idea that statistical models can, in the long run, offer better forecasts than a mix of information and gut instinct.
But the folks at the Weather Channel say there are plenty of computers involved in their forecasting — and humans who know how to make the most of the data, too.
"We're an organization that employs hundreds of meteorologists, plus the computational science required to produce the forecast and then deploy it," said Kevin Doerr, who manages consumer digital products at the Weather Channel. "That ends up being kind of our secret sauce. There's a big difference between whether you're just taking the data and pushing it out, and improving or augmenting the data."
The forecast model for longer-term predictions is new, and still evolving. But so far, the secret sauce scores higher, at least according to ForecastWatch, an organization that tracks the accuracy of weather forecast providers. (Yes, that exists.)
ForecastWatch runs ForecastAdvisor, a site that lets you plug in your ZIP code and track the accuracy of forecasts from major weather services. Based on ForecastAdvisor, the most accurate forecasts for Midtown Manhattan over the last month came from AccuWeather (whose app is straightforward but lacks extras and can be hard to read at times). It was right 85 percent of the time. Dark Sky was next, with 84 percent accuracy. Weather Underground was third for the month. Over the course of a year, top honors go to MeteoGroup, a weather forecaster based in Europe.
In San Francisco, though, Dark Sky has fared poorly against AccuWeather, the Weather Channel and Weather Underground. None of them, though, has had higher than 82 percent accuracy there. Mr. Grossman pointed out that under "further accuracy analysis" on ForecastAdvisor, Dark Sky's precipitation accuracy ranks high, and that ForecastAdvisor tracks just daily highs and lows rather than the hourly temperature predictions Dark Sky might excel at.
So, as always when it comes to the weather, there's much to discuss and few clear answers. But as forecasting grows more advanced and the data is more accessible to app makers, Mr. Grossman said, developers would experiment with presenting it in more interesting and useful ways.
"For some people, wind is very important; for others, rain is very important," he said. "But another branch is people who are supplementing things, not necessarily weather. Apps with calendar information can tell people they might want to leave a little early because rain is coming."
And weather, always a reliable topic of conversation, is social in apps, too. The Weather Channel's app lets people report the weather in their immediate area and even upload photos — all of which helps the app improve its hyperlocal accuracy. And the Weather Underground app lets you upload hazards like downed power lines and blackouts.
Perhaps my favorite new weather app is TheVane, which gives you the forecast along with wardrobe suggestions (women's only, for now) and even links to buy the outfits pictured. It will suggest outfits for travel based on location and long-term forecast, and even generate a packing list.
Now that is how you add a human touch to the weather.

Some photos from our 10 days in Italy visiting Florence, the Amalfi Coast and Rome | Florence Italy Destination Elopement Photographer | Traveling Wedding Photographer
Back in January, Chad and I spent 10 days in Italy traveling between Florence, the Amalfi Coast and Rome. Today I'm sharing a few photos from that adventure, mostly landscapes, with a few of our faces thrown in!
We were actually supposed to spend a few days in Zermatt, Switzerland, but the weather had other plans. After Zermatt was closed due to record breaking snowfall and avalanche warning, we ended up (deciding in the car on the way to the airport) that we'd take a train from Geneva to Florence, and spend that time in Florence instead! So after a day in Geneva, off to Florence we went!
The first three days in Florence were wonderful. The best pizza I had the entire trip was the very first one we had at a cute little restaurant down a random street. We explored tons of what the city had to offer, spent one day lost on the wrong bus trying to get to a wine tasting (oops) and the last day actually at a wine tasting through an Airbnb experience.
We then took a train to Naples, where we rented a car and drove to the Amalfi Coast. At 11pm, an hour out from our town of Praiano, our car got a flat tire. Thank goodness Chad knows cars and was able to change a tire on the side of an Italian highway in the pitch dark - haaa!
Our airbnb in Praiano on the Amalfi coast was the dreamiest of dreams. We had a balcony that looked over the sea, and a bowl full of fresh citrus! We spent our time in Amalfi driving between all of the towns, strolling the narrow streets, eating more pizza and drinking more wine, and spent a day on the little island of Capri!
Our last leg of the trip was Rome, after a quick stop in Pompeii. I had heard such mixed things about Rome, but we both really loved it! Our Airbnb was right behind the Pantheon, stellar location for exploring the city. On the first night, our Airbnb host recommended a restaurant across the street that was a highlight of the trip. We walked in to a cozy room, with a set menu for a 5 course roman meal all made by an ancient little Italian woman in the back. Yep. It was as good as it sounds!
We did lots of walking in Rome, seeing all of the ruins, taking a walking tour, eating, learning how to make pasta, and drinking lots of wine. We did another Airbnb Experience called Off the Beaten Path, where we toured an artsy suburb of Rome, visiting local craftsman shops. I will link all of our Airbnbs's and Experiences at the bottom of this post - highly recommend all of them!
Enjoy these snapshots and let me know your favorite part of Italy!

Objective We assessed motor phenomena in syncope and convulsive seizures to aid differential diagnosis and understand the pathophysiologic correlates.
Methods We studied video-EEG recordings of tilt-induced syncope and convulsive seizures in participants aged 15 years and older. Syncope was defined as (1) loss of consciousness (video-assessed), (2) circulatory changes (accelerating blood pressure decrease with or without bradycardia/asystole), and (3) EEG changes ("slow" or "slow-flat-slow"). We assessed myoclonic jerks and tonic postures of the arms and noted time of occurrence, laterality, synchrony, and rhythmicity (mean consecutive differences of interclonic intervals).
Results Video-EEG records of 65 syncope cases and 50 convulsive seizures were included. In syncope, postures occurred in 42 cases (65%) and jerks in 33 (51%). Fewer jerks occurred in syncope (median 2, range 1–19) compared to convulsive seizures (median 48, range 20–191; p < 0.001). Jerks were more rhythmic in seizures compared to syncope (p < 0.001). Atonia was seen in all syncope cases, while this was not observed in any seizure. Jerks predominantly occurred during the slow and postures during the flat EEG phase.
Conclusions Jerks and tonic postures were common in syncope, but semiology differed from convulsive seizures. The lack of overlap in the number of jerks suggests that less than 10 indicates syncope and more than 20 a convulsive seizure: the "10/20 rule." Loss of tone strongly favors syncope. The EEG correlates imply that jerks in syncope are likely of cortical origin, whereas tonic postures may result from brainstem disinhibition.

DAY THREE: Finding Faith Tour 2017/
Thursday 4 May
Day three of the Finding Faith tour and it was another caffeine-fueled early start as I brave the M50 again to head back into Dublin city. For my first appointment, I was the interviewee, chatting to Vincent Hughes at UCB Radio Ireland about the tour. UCB is a national Christian radio station that broadcasts 24/7 with a mix of Christian music, interviews, teaching and inspirational thoughts. You can listen live on www.ucbirelandradio.com.
A trip across town brings me to the Westin Hotel, where I meet up with Ryan Ashley, originally from the US, who now calls Dublin his home. Ryan is a musician and shares how he is finding opportunities to lead worship and also to connect with other musicians through his passion.
Walking back across the Liffey and up O'Connell Street, I feel like a tourist snapping photos of random landmarks. I'm captured by the colour and beauty of the city even in the face of outwards scars like the chaos of the Luas extension and the deeper pain of broken humanity (...the woman begging on the bridge... the homeless man huddled over his few belongings... and a dozen other cameos I deliberately didn't photograph.)
With a few minutes to spare before my afternoon meeting, I call in to Foley Street to visit the folks at Tearfund Ireland. Niamh Daly and Gemma Kelly have just returned from a trip to Jordan. They had a chance to see first hand the way Tearfund support is helping Syrian refugees. To find out more about Tearfund's work, visit www.tearfund.ie.
And of course, I can't pass by the Innovista Ireland office without stopping off to say "Hello!" Declaration of interest here... I'm the chairperson of Innovista Ireland and I think the work this team does investing in the lives of young leaders is amazing... . I'm interrupting a planning meeting of for the up-coming Leading for Life NW workshop in Derry at the end of May so I wave goodbye and head for my next meeting!
The afternoon is taken up with the Evangelical Alliance of Ireland Council of Reference - a gathering of leaders from a wide range of different denominations, ministries and church backgrounds to discuss vital national issues. There were some fascinating and important conversations through the afternoon but one highlight was hearing leaders sharing stories of what God is doing.
Christine Hand from Dublin Vineyard is excited about the renewed interest in the Alpha Course. "We used to run Alpha all the time but since last autumn, the number of people who are coming to Alpha has just amazed us. There seems to be a new momentum, especially of people in their 20s and 30s who have no previous connection with church."
Nick Park from Solid Rock Church in Drogheda shared how his church members handed out 2,500 packets of Hot Cross Buns on Good Friday to friends and neighbours as a gift. Over 400 turned up to an Easter Party at the church the following day with bouncy castles, food and a traditional Irish music band. On Easter Day, many turned up to the service with 15 responding to the message.
There was plenty of food for thought in a discussion about the "posture" of the church at a time when society is often hostile towards organised religion. "There is a huge opportunity when the church is out of kilter with society if we combine that with credibility," says Rev. Laurence Graham, who takes over as President of the Methodist Church of Ireland this year.
After a long and intense afternoon, it was time to get on the road again and brave more traffic jams for the "short" drive to Naas, County Kildare where I am staying with James and Joanie Reilly ("short" being over 1 1/2 hours). Over a lovely meal, we chat about Joanie's work as a counsellor and her new project - "The school of emotional and spiritual health" which helps people to live healthy and resilient lives.
After dinner, I hear more of James' story (more of that in the magazine) and also chat about Science and Faith (James is an academic and a statistician - something I have discovered is much easier to write than it is to say!).
The clock has just ticked over to midnight... so I think it is time to swap my "pen" for a pillow!

This short tour was all about making the most of a week off work. I had only lived in England for a short time, and I wanted to get out there and discover the history and countryside of the north. I studied Roman history at university, so I was naturally interested in the Hadrian Wall frontier just north of my home inLeeds. The trip began in Newcastle by the Tyne river. I then rode westwards following the Hadrian Cycleway, stopping at all the Roman sites along the way. The National Cycle Network route then followed the Cumbrian Coast south to Ravenglass. I then worked my way east back home, cutting through The Lakes District and Yorkshire Dales to get back toLeeds.
On day one, as my mate drove me to the start point in Newcastle from Sheffield, the hours of rain along the highway were very discouraging. However, the weather managed to clear up, and after a delicious coffee in an Italian Cafe I was out of excuses. It was time to begin the ride!

We just shot their wedding a few weeks ago, so keep your eyes peeled for that blog post soon! Caitlin and Greg are two of the sweetest people we have had the privilege of hanging out with! We visited Caitlin's favorite ice cream shop in Plainwell, MI- the Plainwell Ice Cream Company. (BEST ice cream EVER!) And we chose to shoot there- even though the entire road was torn up and interfered with the landscape- but we think love, even in the middle of a torn up sidewalk, is beautiful. Here are a few of our favorites:

The Suffering Humanity of Christ
By Jacob Sparks
It is a common joke among Sunday schoolers that when in doubt about an answer to a question, just say Jesus and you will be right half the time. As a high school Sunday school teacher, I am often on the receiving end of this joke, and it always gets a good laugh. At times, however, I try to push my Sunday schoolers to think more deeply by following up with a more prodding question: who exactly is Jesus?
They are often unsure of how to answer this question, and for good reason; it is a complicated matter to answer. It took the Church until the fifth century to answer the question, when the Council of Chalcedon proclaimed that Jesus Christ was a single person possessing both the human and divine natures. Or, more directly put, Jesus is both fully God and fully human.
Before the Council of Chalcedon, there had been immense confusion about who Jesus was. Some had said Jesus was simply a virtuous man (a belief derived from Arianism) while others had said that he was God who merely created the illusion of being a man (a teaching known as Docetism). But the Church was insistent on both points, teaching that Christ is completely God and completely man. The importance of this doctrine cannot be overemphasized. If Jesus is simply a human being, there is nothing special about who he is, no matter how virtuous he may have been. If Jesus was God who was masquerading as a man, then God has not truly participated in human life and cannot relate to our lowliness and suffering. But, if Jesus is both of these, then God can truly understand us, for then God has chosen to partake in our weakness and affliction.
But how exactly does God participate in our suffering? Ever since Chalcedon, the Church has been very clear that God the Son, incarnate in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, freely chose to become human, being sent by the Father "in the likeness of sinful flesh." (Romans 8:3). Because of this, we know that Jesus experienced everything that is common to humanity: birth, hunger, thirst, joy, sorrow, laughter, pain, isolation, rejection, and yes, even death. A cursory reading of any of the Gospels is enough to demonstrate that Jesus experienced all of these, and particularly that he experienced a great deal of suffering and rejection. John's gospel states this quite clearly at the beginning: "He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world knew him not. He came to his own home, and his own people received him not." (John 1:10-11). Jesus's rejection by his own people is spelled out more clearly in Mark, where Jesus' own family goes out to stop him from preaching, saying, "He is out of his mind." (Mark 3:23). When many people leave Jesus at his controversial teaching about eating his body and drinking his blood, he asks his disciples, "Do you also wish to go away?", wondering if they too will forsake him (John 6:67). When his friend Lazarus dies, Jesus has no response but to stand at his tomb and weep. And, in his darkest moments when he is unjustly arrested, all of his friends abandon him, with one of his closest friends denying three times that he knows him at all.
Jesus is unfairly condemned by the leaders of his own religion; he is beaten, spat upon, and mocked. He is forced to carry the instrument of his own torture to the hill where he is crucified. None of his friends or family are present for his death except for his mother and one of his disciples. The thieves who are crucified beside him ridicule him along with the crowd standing by. It happens exactly as King David predicted in the Psalms:
And before he dies, though united perfectly with the Holy Trinity through his divine nature, his human nature, feeling abandoned by God, cries out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" or, more literally translated from the Greek, "My God, my God, why have you left me behind?" (Matthew 27:46). And finally, he dies, his soul being forcibly torn from his human body, his life having completed its course.
What does the immense degree of Christ's suffering mean for us? In brief, it means that we no longer suffer alone. Because he took on human flesh, God has completely and permanently identified himself with the condition and suffering of humanity. Christ, having put on the common human nature, has united himself with us. This means every time we suffer, we know that Christ suffers along with us, for he bore in his body the suffering common to all humanity. And when Christ suffered, we also suffered along with him, bearing in our bodies the common human nature that was scourged and crucified. The Apostle Paul realized this in the first century, writing to one of his churches, "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." (Galatians 2:20) The suffering of Christ is the suffering of humanity, and the suffering of humanity is the suffering of Christ. We no longer suffer alone.
We know God understands our suffering because he too has suffered. May the God who suffers receive all glory, honor, and worship, with his eternal Father, and his all holy, good, and life-creating Spirit, now and ever and to ages of ages.

PP Pumpkin Pancakes
Chef: Jeff Tritten; ARespectfulLife.com
Makes: 3 servings
Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Total Time: 40 min
2 ½ c oats
1 ½ c Pumpkin fresh cooked or 1 15 oz canned
1 ½ c Nut Milk Almond or flax (Start w/ 1 c add more if needed-depends on liquid in pumpkin)
2 t baking powder
1 ¼ t cinnamon
½ t nutmeg
1 T brown rice syrup
1 pinch salt
Add oats to food processor, blend on medium until oats turn into flour. Do not turn it into a powder, you want it slightly course.
Add all ingredients into food processor and blend until mixed thoroughly and its batter.
Let batter stand at least 10 min so oats can absorb liquid.
Using a good non-stick pan – turn on medium heat. If you have a good pan, no oil is necessary. I usually wipe the pan with a tiny bit of oil, (Esselstyn recommends this method in his book Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease.)
Note: Do NOT cook pancakes on more than medium heat! These pancakes are dense, and it takes a little while for oats to cook. If your stove top cooks hot, you are better off turning it down a little and being patient. These are NOT 5 min flap jacks and take a while to cook. About 7-8 min per side.
Serv! I love to add walnuts (This would make the recipe PS), a sprinkle of cinnamon and pure Michigan maple syrup.
NOTE: Do not expect these to be like a fluffy flapjack. If your batter is too thick, they will be gummy in the middle. This recipe can only be made without oil if you have a high quality hard anodized non-stick pan (like Scan Pan brand.) If you are not sure about the temperature setting, start lower than you think.

While on a tour in Kerala, the travelers who are fond of Art and Crafts, if looking for destinations to explore the traditional craft making industry and try hands at learning some skills, then visiting Iringal in Calicut (Kozhikode) would be the perfect idea.
An initiative of the Kerala State Government and the Tourism Department, Sargaalaya is one of the most popular Arts and Crafts Villages of Kerala. Spread on a twenty-acre land, this Iringal Crafts village attracts the art lovers from all across the globe.
By visiting the village, the travelers would get to comprehend the nuances of craft making and they can even interact with the Artisans to learn a few skills, there. The crafts village on the coast of Moorad River is worth a visit not only for experiencing the craft manufacturing process but also to buy the eco-friendly (finely crafted) creations at affordable prices.
Here, are a few of the things that one could look forward to witnessing at the Sargaalaya Crafts Village, viz. Sculptures (Paper Mache, Ceramic Powder, Terracotta and Areca Nut), Paintings (Mural, Sepia, Sand Art, Glass and Oil Painting) and Jewelry (Coconut Shell, Terracotta, Pearl, Crystal, Coir and Bamboo Ornaments).
Kerala is famous for lagoons and Coconut Palms. One making a visit at Iringal crafts village can even learn the Coconut craft using the coconut stem and experience different natural fiber crafts made of Kora Grass, Screw Pine, Banana Fiber, Palm Fiber, Coir, Straw and Vetiver, there.
Besides, the voyagers should not miss the sight of artisans at the Handloom house, making colorful garments. One can see the process there and buy the finest piece, by shelling a reasonable amount.
People that are in the crafts business and want wood and/or metal crafts for their shops or outlets can even place orders for bulk purchase from this crafts village. The accomplished artisans of this region create a variety of fine looking wooden (from rose wood, cane etc) and metal crafts, which would sell like hotcakes in the outlets, for sure.
While traveling in Iringal Kozhikode, the visitors can even experience the traditional dance, music and other fine art performances by hiring the artistes and take pleasure in the Kerala cuisine at the eateries available at the village, there. After exploring the art forms and crafts, people that are keen for other attractions and activities in Kozhikode can also think about water itinerary on the backwater stretches.
BookHouseBoats.Com manages houseboat tours in that region and the travelers can seek them to plan their itineraries on water.
Hence, plan a visit to Iringal and go back with fond memories, of this crafts village and the nearby destinations.

Why do you hurry? What are you hurrying toward?
I have come to see the necessity for creative breaks... rest. For the past few months I've intentionally stepped away from the active process of doing my creative work. During this time, I focused on my internal somatic experiences and took the precious moments I typically to fill with creative problem solving, to respond to spontaneous curiosities. I've been reading books, working on our tiny farm of a back yard, chasing my toddler through the sprinkler, watching light refract through the water at the local pool, taking bike rides through wheat fields, meeting with friends, cooking, canning, eating fruit fresh of the tree, sitting, enjoying warm night air.... life things.
After these periods of rest, I see new creative projects emerge (often clearly formed) and I awe at how interconnected my creative work is with daily life. And how important it is to rest and let seeds germinate.
An aside: While doing research earlier today I happened upon this software/programing article that (is very dry and academic but STILL) stretches my imagination! "Accurate and Efficient Gesture Spotting via Pruning and Subgesture Reasoning"

Early morning musings-
For the radical, unradicals. Keep going!
Sometimes Church is hard, but it was never going to be easy. Jesus never had it easy but if God loves the Church, then we should too. And when I say the church, I don't mean that stuffy building with pews in, or the school hall where you meet or even the fancy new Warehouse with all the latest technology and coffee as good as Costa. When I say Church, I mean the people of God. People – those broken, sinful folk, each with their different experience of life, some born into wealth, some born into poverty, some born into chaos, some just walked into chaos. People who are super clever, people who cannot read or write, people who you immediately click with, people with whom it takes years to know and love. People just like you and me.
Different people. But the same people.
When Church is made up of people who look and think and feel just like ourselves, it might seem easier in many ways but we do miss out on what the Kingdom of God is truly like. Surely, the Kingdom of God is more like a bunch of imperfect misfits who love each other despite their differences?
I'm writing this blog for me. I'm preaching these truths to my heart.
God knows my heart is to see His Kingdom Come in the little place I live. I want to know Jesus more and I want others to know Jesus. This is what drives me, albeit imperfectly. I desire other things too, a lovely home, to see beautiful things – any kind of life growing, the sea, autumn leaves. I recognise some times the desire for these things lead to sin in my heart. My heart is sinful too, yes. Just like everyone else.
But last night I realised why sometimes I feel like I don't fit in.
I long to be surrounded by other radicals. Imperfect people who are longing for Gods kingdom come, just like me. People who will turn up to the prayer meeting because their desire to see salvation is greater than their desire to rest. People who face struggles and difficulties but will put them aside for the sake of the Kingdom.
Don't get me wrong these people do exist in abundance within the Church and some people are so busy serving and loving their little families right now – that this is their ministry. This is their seeking Gods kingdom first.
But still, I long to be surrounded by the radicals cheering me on as I cheer them on. Together stepping out in faith for the sake of the gospel. I long for the adventure of following Jesus – more than anything I long for God to stretch out his arm and bring salvation to this place.
But then I think of the greatest radical of all. Jesus.
No imperfection there. He left heaven itself to step into our messy world. My radical is no radical at all compared to his. My sacrifice is nothing, zero, emptiness in comparison to the sacrifice Christ made for me.
Christ came into the world to save sinners. Sinners who would not give their Creator the time of day. Even Jesus' closest followers fell asleep during the prayer meeting and denied him when it came to the crunch. This is the kind of never giving up love God has for us.
Christ gave up his life so that we, who are dead might have life.
And here's an incredible truth,
Christ came to serve. Not to be served. Jesus doesn't need my help. Jesus doesn't need me to be at the prayer meeting for him to stretch out his arm. But, he does long for it. He longs for me to walk hand in hand with him. He longs that I would know him more, trust him more. Step out in faith in him more.
And if Jesus served the Church, washed the dirty feet of those who didn't really understand his power and majesty. If Jesus laid down his life for a people who would be slow to understand, fail to love and worship him as they should – then I will serve the church too.
My service is full of sin, like dirty rags compared to the perfection of the way Jesus serves and yet he invites me to join in with what he is doing.
Jesus loves the church. As my good friend Esther puts it, the Church is Gods plan A for his kingdom come. That messy group of people who get it wrong so often, who make it all about us rather than God – yes, we are his bride! Made perfect through the cross. The unlovely made lovely. So maybe being radical is loving the church like Jesus does, serving the church like Jesus does and laying down all the rest.
If God loves the Church then so do I.

Grading Your Organic Products- How Authentic Are They?
Just like how we are concerned with knowing what goes into our food, reading the label on any product you plan to put on your skin should simply be a habit before the product ever goes into your shopping cart. Ask, what is this, what is it made of and is it healthy for my body? Even so, if you see the word "organic" you might be getting tricked. In the world of marketing, this title is used very loosely on product labels to increase their perceived value. Therefore, when you read an ingredient label, you must look out for more than just the words "organic" or "all natural."
Read on to learn the 3 key differences we have discovered between different grades of organic products.
1 – Composition of organic content
The ingredients of truly organic products are usually things you are familiar with like eucalyptus or rose. Products that are faking their organic status will have long, hard-to-pronounce chemical names like methenamine or thimerosol. Overall, the ingredients list of authentic organic products will be also significantly shorter than their non- organic counterparts.
2 – Concentration of key ingredients
Any product will be pricier if there is a higher concentration of the essential ingredients. If you look at the ingredients list, it is common to see water or aqua listed first. This indicates the product is mostly composed of water as the ingredients are listed in order of their level of concentration in the product. When you see water listed first, there will be a lower concentration of the essential ingredient.
Take aloe gel for example: if aloe is the first ingredient on the list, then the ingredient with the highest concentration in that product is aloe.
Look for products that do not list water or aqua first. This means the product will have a higher concentration of its essential ingredient. Although this can mean a higher price tag, the price seems lower when you remember you're getting more for your money, because with a highly concentrated product you don't need to use as much of the product as you would with a less concentrated product.
3 – Processing of chemical content (if any)
There is much controversy around certain minerals commonly used in makeup, such as titanium dioxide. But did you know that titanium dioxide can be either naturally or synthetically derived?
Synthetically derived titanium dioxide results in very small mineral particles called nanoparticles. These unbelievably tiny particles can enter your bloodstream, get absorbed by your body tissues and build up over time causing untold damage. Naturally derived titanium dioxide results in larger macro-particles, which cannot be absorbed by the skin in dangerous quantities.
It's important to understand what ingredients go into a product, but to take your understanding of a product a step deeper, learn how these ingredients are derived.

ASA-CO Executive Director Julie Massaro shared, "We are delighted at the turnout and the support we've received from our members and supporting vendors this year. It takes a lot of effort from the ASA-CO team to put together this growing training event, and I can't thank our board, staff and members enough for their tireless efforts in creating this record-setting Summit!"
On Friday afternoon, Larry Linne, author of "Make the Noise Go Away - The Power of a Second in Command," provided leadership training for 80 registered participants. The evening continued with networking and fun at TopGolf. ASA-CO also presented Lifetime Achievement Awards to Randy Pickering and Stan Elmore, past board members who have given back to the industry over the years.
According to Massaro, "We had great evaluations on the event from the post-conference survey, and everyone was very engaged throughout the event. The 2019 ASA-CO Summit far exceeded our expectations. It was great!"
Brad Pellman, chairman of ASA-CO, added, "It is our goal to tie the industry together, from the student level to the master technician, with training and leadership experiences that will not only improve their technical knowledge, but advance their business management skills as well.
"Offering the access to supporting sponsors of ASA is crucial to both their success and ASA-CO's success in this increasingly complex industry. Ongoing learning not only ensures your future success, but is also knowledge you keep for life. I thank everyone for their participation and support!"
Massaro stated, "Associations can offer high-quality training in a very cost-effective manner since we are out to cover our expenses, not make huge profits. We hold this event to provide training and education for all levels of auto shop staff, from owners to managers, service writers, sales and technicians."
ASA-CO will hold a golf tournament Sept. 7 to fund the association's initiatives and the Automotive Student Scholarship Fund. For more information, visit asacolorado.org.

Straight out of 'sci-fi'
Exercise focuses on WMD material
By BOB JOHNSON
Register City Editor
|Register/Bob Johnson
Iola Firefighter Mike Aronson pulls on a protective mask before donning a "spacesuit" during an exercise here Tuesday afternoon.
Iola firefighter Mike Aronson, outfitted in a protective suit fit for a sci-fi movie, searched a dining area in Iola's National Guard Armory for low-level radiological material Tuesday afternoon. Before Aronson and Pvt. Claude Williams and Sgt. Patrick Gordon of the Kansas National Guard's 73rd Civil Support Team were permitted to don the suits, their vital signs were checked to make sure they were physically prepared for the task.
In addition to the search for radiological materials, local responders worked with CST personnel to determine the extent of injuries in a "man down" situation.
The exercises, involving elements of weapons of mass destruction, were staged by the CST for Iola firefighters and Allen County Emergency Medical Service personnel in and near the armory. The training was arranged by Jason Nelson, Allen County EMS director, in cooperation with Iola Fire Chief Don Leapheart, and will conclude today.
THE TOPEKA-based Civil Support Team — an outgrowth of Homeland Security — is one of 55 in the nation and contains 22 personnel, all full-time guardsmen, with a wide array of high-tech equipment ready to respond at a moment's notice to a biological, chemical or radiological disaster.
"We're trained to mitigate any of them," said Maj. Scott Chew, deputy commander of the 73rd. "We can deal with meth labs and anything else within the scope of our mission that poses a danger to people."
The unit is dispatched on orders from the governor, but if an incident occurs, Chew said they immediately begin preparations for deployment while orders work their way through the chain of command.
"The minute we get the word, we're out the door," Chew said.
The 73rd brings with it several pieces of sophisticated equipment.
One is a mobile laboratory that provides quick analysis of any suspect materials that emergency responders encounter. They also use hand-held devices to make on-the-spot determinations of the danger levels of such materials.
A mobile command post boasts monitors that receive video feeds of on-the-ground activities. A medical van is used both to treat victims and prep responders. A mobile communications truck with portable dishes for satellite contact and a small van, also loaded with communications equipment, keep the unit in touch with authorities anywhere on the face of the earth.
Chew pointed out that computerized devices permit transmission of sensitive and classified information without fear of interception. Such communications capabilities are important when disasters like the Greensburg tornado occur, Chew said.
"We can be there quickly and provide communications with the outside world when it otherwise wouldn't be possible," he said.

|Re: Using Too Many Aiflow Variables in Dag is Good thing ?
|Mon, 22 Oct 2018 07:58:03 GMT
In my opinion this isn't a good thing - as you've observed it's making a database connection each time. As the scheduler runs every 5 (?) seconds that means the database is being queried frequently. As the number of DAGs grow you will see the number of connections growing as well. We had a similar situation with our Variable.get() calls - we had some in the default_args and some as top level variables, so they kept getting re-executed as the .py file was being scanned. In just 20-30 DAGs we ran over the maximum connection limit in RDS (t2.small), so we moved all Variable.get() calls to as late as possible (inside methods/jinja templates). In the example you've shown it's worth converting it to environment variables if you need some flexibility, the change management then shifts to your deployment/configuration mechanism. Or just hardcode it and redeploy when needed.

LONDON (CBS.MW) -- What's so sexy about aluminum all of a sudden? Much the way oil companies have sought mergers as a way of dealing with depressed crude prices, now the metals manufacturers are scrambling to get into alliances as low prices and shrinking margins squeeze profits. Almost overnight, the metal club has shrunk. Shaking things up this week, Canada's Alcan Aluminum Ltd. AL, +1.65% joined with France's Pechiney and Switzerland's Algroup in a merger deal that would push aside Alcoa as the world's biggest aluminum company. Not missing a beat, Alcoa AA, +1.51% emerged hours later, going public with its hostile $5.6 billion cash-and-stock offer for Reynolds Metals Co. rlm, the No. 3 aluminum company. But then came the perhaps strangest twist: A new, little-known bidder called Michigan Avenue Partners swooped in on Friday with an all-cash bid to try topping Alcoa.
Cisco plays bulwark in iffy season
SAN JOSE, Calif. (CBS.MW) --Even as technology stocks and the underlying Internet economy tiptoe through another shaky season, there was Cisco Systems riding high again. Wall Street applauded the news Tuesday that a 48 percent boom in Internet-fueled sales lifted the world's largest computer networking company CSCO, +0.67% past analysts' fourth-quarter earnings estimates. "Cisco is everything investors want," said Megan Graham-Hackett, director of technology research at Standard & Poor's. "It's a great Internet story, and it's a great, consistent profitability story." Revenue for the quarter leaped to $3.55 billion from $2.4 billion, the sixth consecutive quarter that sales growth has accelerated from the year-earlier period.
Day trading in the crosshairs
WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- To hear these regulators tell it, day trading is a money-losing endeavor for the vast majority of the people who are taking part in it in growing numbers. But more than that, it's also a sneaky, manipulative and downright dirty business as practiced by 62 companies with 286 branches nationally, according to a blistering 46-page report issued Monday by the North American Securities Administrators Association. The study called for strict restrictions on the firms, which rent out space to investors who, by definition, take out positions that don't last more than a day. While the study was launched seven months ago, its release came only 11 days after Mark O. Barton's deadly shooting rampage at two Atlanta day-trading firms where he had lost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
MCI WorldCom still battling Web woes
WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- Eight days after big trouble first erupted, MCI WorldCom " is still grappling to fix its high-speed frame relay network, whose disruptions have caused widespread Web outages and infuriated clients. The problems, attributed to software supplied by Lucent Technologies lu, have intermittently slowed or cut off access to the Internet, knocked out some bank ATMs and hampered operations of financial markets. The failures have affected as much as 15 percent of MCI WorldCom's network in a debacle unusual, as a spokeswoman put it, for cutting communications "for so long." It was bad timing for one big client, the Chicago Board of Trade, which also had to shut down early Thursday because of power problems in that city.
Changing of guard at Vanguard?
VALLEY FORGE, Pa. (CBS.MW) -- John Bogle, the man who built the Vanguard Group into the second-largest U.S. mutual-fund company and became the undisputed champion of the long-term buy-and-hold investment philosophy, could retire as soon as the end of this year. Vanguard has a policy in place that says when a board member reaches 70, it's time for that member to take a hike. Will the Vanguard board make an exception for the founder of the company, who turned 70 in May and is one of the $6 trillion fund industry's most celebrated icons? Doesn't look that way.
Fore! Golfer's Network tees off
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- When a made-for-television match between two of the world's best golfers outdraws anything else in prime time, it's no wonder the partners who just launched the Golfer's Network are smiling. Heavily featuring PGA coverage, the network is an online collaboration between Golf.com, a sports niche player on the Internet, and Broadcast.com, a division of Net giant Yahoo yhoo. The programming, at Golf.com or Broadcast.com, is primarily audio, like radio-on-the-Internet, with a few video clips thrown in for good measure. The fledgling network isn't alone on the Internet, where golf sites abound. "What we have always wanted to do is create a network about golf," explained Golf.com founder Alex Miceli. "Instead of listening to music in your office, you can now listen to golf-related stuff. It's really still in an evolutionary-type stage, but we're creating that environment."
Getting a peek at the insiders
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Domini Social Investments announced in April it would post its proxy votes on the Internet for anyone to read, and it challenged other mutual funds to do the same, as a step toward taking more responsibility for corporate governance. Why hasn't the fund industry responded? It's a simple concept: Investors buy shares in a mutual fund, which pools the money and buys shares in companies and therefore has a bloc vote in how companies are run. Shouldn't the mutual-fund investors know how their fund is voting on things like poison pills, membership on the board of directors or even company takeovers?
Cheat sheet on IPO lock-ups
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Like shooting fish in a barrel, right? IPO lock-ups are expiring all over the place. Short sellers are making money against the prospects of companies such as VerticalNet VERT, -33.33% and Healtheon HLTH, +0.60%, the two Internet companies suffering the most prominent expiration of their lock-up holding periods this week. It's not just the expiration of underwriters' six-month holding periods for executives and original shareholders that is hurting these new stocks. Many saw their shares reach insane heights in the days and weeks after their February IPOs. Shares of Vignette vign, for example, were originally priced at 19 and more than doubled at their open on Feb 19. Shares of Vignette, a developer of Internet publishing technologies, will see a lock-up expire Aug. 17. Now that millions of shares of executives' and early investors' stock will hit Nasdaq, investors want no part of some of the former high-fliers.
How the world looks on America
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- She loves me; she loves me not? Ah, yes, the eternal question. But this time it is Uncle Sam who's doing the asking.The answer is that, these days, we Americans are getting increasingly "mixed reviews." The Chinese think we are hell-bent on achieving global hegemony. The Russians feel that we tried to keep them out of Kosovo. You have to admire the French, however. They, too, see a threat of global American hegemony. But they are doing something about it. I refer here to the Ecole de guerre economique, the School for Economic Warfare, a quasi-governmental institution. The stated aim of the school is to teach operatives how to counter the global economic "aggression" of the United States.
Maybe folks won't be so aggressive
NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- The past few months have taught investors that higher-growth companies and companies with unique products or concepts can get overpriced. This can occur even as a company appears to be on the brink of accelerating earnings. Following a spectacular advance, many Internet and technology stocks are now in the midst of large corrections. This does not mean they are no longer good companies. And they're not going out of business. Instead, the marketplace is now pricing them much closer to realistic values. When market psychology changes, stocks can be taken to extremes very quickly. The decline will probably prevent investors from being overly aggressive in these areas for a few months after the correction has ended.

Duquesne Light Holdings, Inc. ("DLH") is an energy services holding company formed in 1989 to serve as the holding company for Duquesne Light Company and to engage in certain unregulated energy and related businesses. After a 2007 acquisition, DLH is a wholly owned subsidiary of parent company DQE Holdings LLC, with principal executive offices located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Through its chief subsidiary, Duquesne Light Company, the corporation provides energy to over 588,000 homes and businesses.
Historic incorporation
Duquesne Light was one of the dozens of companies founded by inventor George Westinghouse and for its first 75 years of operation (1870s-1940s) was a subsidiary of the holding company known as the "Philadelphia Company".[2] Other such companies also founded by Westinghouse such as the Equitable Gas company and other "Equitable" energy/electronic companies were equal subsidiaries with DQE when it was a subsidiary of the 'Philadelphia Company'.[3]
In 1997, Duquesne and Allegheny Energy agreed to a $4.3 billion merger with headquarters remaining in Hagerstown, Maryland.[4] However DQE backed out of the deal by 1998.[5]
In May 2007, Duquesne was acquired by a consortium led by affiliates of the Australian-based Macquarie Group Limited. The consortium consists of several institutional investors which own all of the common equity of parent company, DQE Holdings, LLC. This classifies it as an investor-owned utility. In 2010, GIC Private Limited acquired a 29% stake from original investor DUET Group.[6]

2016 Home Design Trends
With the cost of renovation and redecoration, it is essential to find classic looks that show off your style in a realistic way. 2016 is the year to bring back essential top trends for your room.
- Patterned Pops: Print objects complement solids and
minimalism design. You can take advantage of a patterned
couch as a huge
statement in a neutral room. If you want something more subtle,
use a patterned curtain over wood windows to create a tasteful
accent. Fabric wall art is also becoming pretty popular,
another exciting choice for pattern inspiration.
- Mismatched and Moveable: If you are feeling bored of
the design in your spaces, try changing the
placement of pieces you already have from different rooms around your home.
materials are a big trend
this year. Match your modern minimalism pieces in a room with rustic wood windows
and floors for a revitalizing renovation on a low
- Mid-Century to Millennial: Arcs are on the rise from the past. Mix
in the mid-century
feel using interior design pieces,
like tables and chairs. Feeling bold? Install
arced wood windows to go the extra mile for the eclectic and fun trend.
- Neutral is Now: Creams, greys, blacks, alabasters and ivories are in this year. Keep your home calm and collected with gentle
tones of organic
colors. If you think neutral color palletes
are blah, think again. Add some charm
with neutral tiles, pillows or flowers. Painting a wooden window black in an all-white room is also a large
statement this year.
- Optimize and Open: It is the year to eliminate the clutter. An open space is a must to relax and breathe in your home. Whether you are overlooking a city or the countryside, large windows will allow for natural light, and less walls will provide you with an open feel to your space. Give attention to minimalism and tech-less areas; instead, filling your space with peaceful pieces.
We can turn the 2016 trends into a reality for your home, crafted to fit your tastes perfectly. We can help you coordinate your window and door needs to complement these 2016 trends. Simply contact Pella Windows and Doors at (413) 561-7599 or come to our West Springfield showroom to see how we can help fix you up with this year's trends.
