The millennial males were coming out of the woodwork! In a recent short streak I had conversations with four almost back to back. One was married. One was getting married. One was in a relationship. One was divorced. Their spiritual paths were taking them in many different directions, but each was focused upon taking positive steps as they moved forward in life.
They were, in fact, moving forward in their lives in spite of many of them facing extremely challenging circumstances. This is something that excites me about this emerging 20's and 30's generation. It seems to me that they have a greater awareness of their story than I had at their age ... and their drive to move forward is strong.
I wish I could do more to help them ... I wish I were more like St. Paul who wrote, "I have made myself a slave to everyone, in order to win more people. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win Jews; to those under the law, like one under the law - though I myself am not under the law - to win those under the law. To those who are without the law, like one without the law - though I am not without God's law but under the law of Christ - to win those without the law. To the weak I became weak, in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people, so that I may by every possible means save some. Now I do all this because of the gospel, so that I may share in the blessings." (1 Corinthians 9.19-23)
When one gets down to the bottom line, we who have been saved through faith in Christ Jesus have one purpose in life ... and that is found in serving Jesus and his gospel to those in need ... no matter which direction it takes us ...
We already have it all. "There is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus, because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and death. ... And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then he who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through his Spirit who lives in you. ... If God is for us, who is against us? He did not even spare his own Son but offered him up for us all. How will he not also with him grant us everything?" (Romans 8.1-2, 11, 31-32)
The challenges millennials face come from every direction: depression ... drugs ... poor decisions ... unfortunate circumstances ... deficits in their backgrounds and personal losses. Their issues can be mental or emotional, physical or financial ... or all of the above. And, all too often, a major contributor to their struggles - though they do not tend to realize it - comes from an underdeveloped (or total lack of) relationship with Jesus! How different they are from those who really know Jesus, and are getting to know him better. Same challenges ... same issues ... totally different stories.
And then, all of a sudden (it must be a "God Thing") I realize that the millennials' story is no different from mine, or the generations between, before, or after! Our issues and challenges are all the same ... as is the answer! No matter what direction Satan's attacks come from, "in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8.37-39)
And, since this IS true, WE WHO LIVE IN THE LOVE OF CHRIST JESUS ARE FREE to go in every direction ... South - East - North - West ... no matter what our age, circumstance or generation ... to serve Jesus and his Gospel to those in need ... no matter what their age, circumstance or generation.

In the Senate:
Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins (both Maine) do not want to defund Planned Parenthood.
Newly elected Kelly Ayotte (New Hampshire) waffles when not emitting talking points so I construe that to be in favor of letting Planned Parenthood get defunded.
Kay Bailey Hutchison (Texas) – I can't find anything from her on this but her voting record seems to indicate that she might allow it to be defunded.
Update on Hutchison: She's a motivator behind a military troop funding through a governtment shutdown bill in the US Senate that appears to have at least 60 supporters, including other women and other Democrats. It does not appear that there is anything connected to Planned Parenthood in it.
In the House (all the women newby Republicans):
Kristi Noem (SD): will allow defunding of Planned Parenthood ("Noem said she believes the riders and the budget cuts are "intertwined" and that she supports them.")
Nan Hayworth (NY): supports defunding Planned Parenthood
Vicky Hartzler, (MO): supports defunding Planned Parenthood
Martha Roby, (Alabama) and Sandy Adams (FL) appear to support defunding Planned Parenthood, reportedly agreeing that $61 billion in cuts for 2011 is reasonable (the reports right now are that there's consensus on $38 billion between Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. John Boehner)
Renee Ellmers (NC): leading the way to defund Planned Parenthood
Jaime Herrera Beutler (WA): supports defunding Planned Parenthood
Update: Left out two women (thanks to the commenter who drew my attention to that!):
Ann Marie Buerkle (NY): supports defunding Planned Parenthood
Diane Black (TN): supports defunding Planned Parenthood
I want all women to feel empowered to run for office. But there's no question, I support women who support other women, and there is no way on earth that you can ever explain the position to defund Planned Parenthood as being supportive of women, especially when Planned Parenthood is all about health care for women and does NOT use federal funds for abortion.
Frankly – this position to defund Planned Parenthood because they think it has some connection to using federal funds for abortion makes these freshman look like absolute lemmings. Not how women should be positioning themselves – on untruths and against programs that serve literally millions of women with necessary health care. Any legitimacy these elected women who would defund Planned Parenthood may ever have had in criticizing the Obama administration's record with women is completely gone given their position to defund.
UPDATE: At approximately 4pm, several Republican women in the House of Representatives gave a presentation. Renee Ellmers says she'd never support depriving women of health care since she's a health care provider – but she insists that they keep fighting to reduce spending. Diane Black is speaking now. I'm listening to see if any of them address Planned Parenthood head on – so far, as noted above, all they do is talk about the need to get spending under control. They don't address the consequences of some of the cuts being proposed.

In 1814, the town of Centerville was platted on land opened to white settlement as a result of the Twelve Mile Purchase from the Miami Indians in 1809. Christopher Roddy purchased the first lot in Centerville and was granted town naming rights. The town was originally spelled Centreville following the traditional English spelling until it was later changed to the present Centerville. The seal still shows the "re" spelling. In 1818 Centerville was named the county seat of Wayne County being that it was growing quickly and was the geographical center of the county. The County seat prior to this was the town of Salisbury (which was between Centerville and Richmond). Salisbury no longer exists but was the original location of the log cabin courthouse that stands in Centerville today. This is the only original log courthouse still standing in the old northwest territory.
Upon becoming the county seat, Centerville grew quickly. Many of the earliest settlers in Centerville were Quakers from Virginia and the Carolina's. These Quakers enjoyed the land they had found away from the slavery in the south. They held fast to their principles and had a great respect for education. They quickly raised meeting houses and schools. By 1827 Centerville had the Wayne County Seminary under construction and provided education to the pioneers for 50 years.
This structure, the Union School, was built after the College burned in 1891. It was torn down when the Elementary school was built.
The Wayne County Seminary or Whitewater College
The seminary was later sold to a group of Methodists and renamed the Whitewater College with Rev. Cyrus Nutt as President. He later became president of Indiana University. Among the honored educators were Samuel K. Hoshour, Rawson Vaile, A. C. Shortridge and the Rev. Nutt. Some of the students that found fame were Ambrose Burnside, John Stevenson Tarkington, father of Booth Tarkington, Emily Meredith, mother of
Meridith Nicholson, and Oliver P. Morton, Civil War Governor of Indiana. The building was continuously expanded; in 1840 the East wing was built, then in 1848 a center section was added and it became the Whitewater College. In 1865 it became the Centreville Collegiate Institute. The building was again sold in 1870 and became Centreville High School. It then burned in 1891. The Union School was built on the site, and then was torn down and the Elementary school was erected.
The National Road
With the increased traffic from the westward expansion and later the Gold Rush, Centerville saw a steady flow of new faces with the wagon trains coming down National Road. The National Road which forms the main street of Centerville became so busy during the 1820's that the street width was decreased from 100 feet to 65 feet and on some streets to as narrow as 40 feet. This provided space for additional development and business expansions. People with street front property built onto the front of their businesses and built arches allowing access to the original properties in the rear. These arches were built between 1820 and 1836. Some of these arches are still in good repair and are the basis for Centerville's annual Archway Days. In 1850 the stretch of the National Road passing through Centerville was paved with cobblestones by a special act of congress and was the first improved part of the
National Road.
The always busy National Road created a need for wagon shops, tanners, saddle shops, inns and taverns. One of these taverns was the Mansion House (originally built in 1837 farther back from the road then rebuilt in 1840 by Henry Rowan due to business expansion). Centerville was the county seat of Wayne County from 1816-1872 when int was moved to Richmond. For twelve years the Mansion House hosted travelers on the National Road. It became the stagecoach office of the Western Stage Company. The hotel boasted fine dining and comfortable accommodations. A stable, horses and carriages were also available. The house was sold to the Indiana Central Railway Company in 1852 and was used by them until 1856 when it was sold to a private owner.
The Mansion House has been a family home, divided into apartments, a rooming house, and a tourist home. The house retains most of its original arrangement and the building is filled with exhibits about the history of the house and of Centerville and Wayne County.
The Mansion House became a museum in 1956 when it and the furnishings were given by Lola Beckett to the Wayne County Historical Museum. It was purchased by Historic Centerville in 1975 and celebrates 50 years as a museum in 2017. Tours are available by appointment. Open hours are on the weekends from June to September. Several times during the year the property is open for special events. There is a small admission fee.
The Mansion House property is also home to the first Wayne County log courthouse as well as one of Indiana's (Centerville) last man-operated railroad guard shacks. Automatic gates replaced the railroad guards at road crossings.
Famous Law Makers of Centerville
By the time of the Civil War, Centerville was a well established community which was sending its sons into positions of leadership in the state and nation. Two of its best-known sons are Oliver P. Morton, Governor of Indiana during the Civil War and George Washington Julian, U.S. Representative from Indiana.
Oliver Perry Morton was born August 4th, 1823 in Salisbury and lived there briefly until the death of his mother. His father then moved him to live with two staunch Presbyterian aunts in Centerville, who gave him a degree of inflexibility that marked his long career in politics. Morton studied at the Wayne County Seminary but left early to learn the hat making trade. Dissatisfied with that, he attended Miami University in Ohio for two years. He then became renowned as the best debater on
campus. He studied law and became a highly respected corporate lawyer whose services were in demand by the railroads. In 1847 he was admitted to the bar. Although a Democrat for ten years, in 1856 Morton was nominated as the Republican (or People's Party) candidate for governor. Unsuccessful in this attempt, Morton returned to his law practice until 1860 when he was nominated to run as lieutenant governor with Henry S. Lane, who headed the Republican ticket in Indiana. Shortly after the election of Abraham Lincoln and the Republican ticket in Indiana, the
state legislature picked Lane for the U.S. Senate and Morton became governor.
When the Civil War broke out, Morton quickly demonstrated his resolute determination to defend the Union. Immediately, with the aid of General Lew Wallace, who also attended the Whitewater College in Centerville, raised 6,000 soldiers to answer Lincoln's first call for men. Throughout the war, Indiana, under Morton's leadership, met every call for more men. He mobilized the war effort in Indiana by raising money,
implementing the production of military material, and maintaining the civilian morale. Most importantly, Morton was "the Soldiers' friend" and Hoosiers, whenever possible, were well cared for in the Civil War because of Morton's personal efforts. Soon after his re-election to the governor's office in 1864, Morton's legs became paralyzed. He
continued to be active in office and on the campaign trail, in 1867 he was elected to complete Henry Lane's term in the U.S. Senate, and in 1873 was elected to a full term. Morton did not live out this term. In 1877, while on a return trip from Oregon where he had investigated political corruption, Morton became gravely ill. Stopping in Indiana, he was taken to his sister's house in Richmond where, on November 1, 1877,
he died. His last public appearance was May 30, 1877, at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis where he delivered an address honoring the soldiers buried there. Morton lay in state at the courthouse in Indianapolis before his burial at Crown Hill. The House in Centerville, where e lived. when he became governor of Indiana, is located at 313 West Main Street. The house was built in 1847 by Jacob B. Julian, one of George Washington Julian's sons.
George Washington Julian was born in 1817 in Centerville. His father passed away when he was only six years old. He was taught primarily by his mother and later became a school teacher. In 1840, being self taught, he became a lawyer and practiced until 1861. Julian was strongly against slavery even before the Civil War. He was a member of the Whig party, until the nomination by the party in 1848, of Zachary Taylor, a prominent slave holder. He became a Free-Soil party member and was nominated as Vice President on the ticket with John P. Hale. He was an early member of the Republican party and was elected to Congress in 1860. He served until 1871 as chairman of the Public Lands Committee and was a great help in the passage of the Homestead Act. In 1872 he became a member of the Liberal Republican party. After its demise, he returned to the Democratic party. He was often accused of changing sides whenever the fancy took him. However, he maintained that he may have changed parties but had never changed his principles. In 1873 he moved to Irvington, a suburb of Indianapolis. In 1885 President Cleveland appointed him Surveyor General of New Mexico, where he served for four years. He retired from public service but continued to write articles for numerous periodicals until his death in 1899. George Julian's home in Centerville stood where the present Village Pantry stands today.
Three other Centerville natives became Governors: Jonathan Harvey of the North Dakota Territory, John Burbank of Kansas, and Joe Kibbery of the Arizona Territory. Other men of fame were; Robert Underwood Johnson, editor of Century magazine and Ambassador to Italy under Wilson. His brother, Henry U. Johnson, represented the district in Congress, as did William Hendricks, William Wicks, Charles Test and James Rariden.
The Battle for the Wayne County Seat
By 1850, Centerville was enjoying its prime. With a population of over 1,000, and in the middle of a prosperous farming and law community, Centerville was booming. But in 1853, an event occurred which marked the beginning of the decline of the town. The railroads crossed at Richmond, six miles east of Centerville, on the Whitewater River. Thru the 1850's and 60's, Richmond's water powered industries grew until the city was out flourishing, land-locked Centerville. By 1870, Richmond surpassed Centerville in population as well as industry. With the increase in population and business, Richmond was paying the majority of the county taxes and this increased a demand for Richmond to become the county seat. This started a turbulent time in Wayne County as Cambridge City also wanted the county seat and Centerville was dead set on keeping it.
In 1867, a new jail was built in Centerville. The people of Richmond believed that since $80,000 had been spent on the new jail and an additional $10,000 on the surrounding iron fencing in Centerville, they would never get the county seat moved. When Wayne County decided to replace the old county courthouse with a new one, everyone wanted to play host to it. Centerville and Richmond became embroiled in a battle of paperwork, court filings and bitter newspaper articles over the moving of the courthouse from Centerville. Richmond, still angry about the $80,000 jail and $10,000 fence (which had started as a renovation project on the existing jail), believed that Centerville, given the opportunity, would spend even more on a new courthouse. So, when Centerville filed a petition for $75,000 to build fireproof vaults and offices, Richmond saw this as the last straw and an attempt to divert money from the new courthouse so it would never be built. Richmond decided a petition of their own was in order to settle the battle. Richmond needed a 55% approval from the voting public to get the courthouse moved. Centerville tried to counter the petition through a flyer campaign to inform the voters that moving the county seat would lower property values and remove the convenience of a centralized location for the county seat. Cambridge City agreed with Richmond that the county seat should be moved, but not necessarily to Richmond. They believed that contributing to the Richmond petition might get it relocated to their town. However, but it did not. The majority was achieved with the petition and the seat landed in Richmond.
The petition was quickly approved and an anonymous donor paid for the $42,000 site location. By September of 1872, the deed for the new location was in hand and approved. Legal altercations ensued but the courts were unswayed. Judge Haynes ruled in favor of the Board of Commissioners on Saturday, March 8th, 1873, and the courthouse was most definitely going to be relocated in Richmond. Work started on the new courthouse promptly that following Monday.
Centerville, although it had lost its more conventional legal battle for the county seat, refused to let go quietly. When the new courthouse in Richmond was finished and ready to hold the county records, wagons were driven toward Centerville to pick them up. The records were stored in the new jail, with the attitude that if they were not safe where the sheriff lived, where were they safe? The people of Centerville, hearing that the men were coming, believed that if they were to keep the county
records, they would have to make a show of force, so they called on Black Betty. Black Betty, the town's three pound canon, was filled with the local blacksmith's iron scraps then placed under the archway across the street from the jail. By now, a large crowd of Centerville residents had formed outside the jail and were demanding that the men who had come to collect the records come out of the jail and go back to Richmond. When they refused, Black Betty was fired, blowing the door off
the jail. The people of Centerville rushed in, secured the records and removed the men from the building. Although Centerville made a valiant stand to preserve itself as the county seat, it failed to be enough. The next day, armed soldiers came into Centerville and removed the county records by force. Men from Richmond came later, under much secrecy in wagons, for the $10,000 fence. The wagons surrounded the jail. Men jumped out of the wagons with axes and hacked the fence braces, loaded up the fence, and installed it in Richmond. Centerville wasn't aware of what had happened until it was done. This fence stood for many years at the new courthouse. The town of Centerville gradually lost the judges, the lawyers, and the politicians who had made life so exciting here for 60 years.
Evidence of Black Betty's wrath stands today at the Centerville-Center Township Library located at 126 E Main Street. The library is actually the old jail that was constructed in 1867. Although the building has been added onto and renovated for the library, the bricks around the door and arch are still chipped from Betty's great blast. Many believe that the library building used to be the courthouse, but the courthouse was actually located on the other corner of the same block. After the county seat was moved to Richmond, the courthouse became an organ factory, then
a general store, and finally a grocery. The building later burned in one of the tragic fires that damaged the downtown area through the years.
The Old Salisbury Log Courthouse
Wayne County's first log courthouse (1812-1818) was the seat of justice (built in 1811). It was originally built in the now extinct town of Salisbury, which was located between Centerville and Richmond off the National Road. The log courthouse was used for many purposes over the years after Salisbury lost the county seat to Centerville. Being that the building was made of logs, it was disassembled many times and relocated where needed. It was once used as four small apartments in the City of Richmond, and was also once located near the Centerville School. In 1998, the courthouse was reconstructed at its present site behind the Mansion House. It is the only original log court house still standing in the old northwest territory. The courthouse is open during special city activities and upon request.

Casino Bonuses - Deposit Bonus and Free Spins to profit from.
The online market provides offers and promotions in uncountable numbers. Casinos battling each other over your attention to register and become a new member with them. This gives birth to the casino Welcome Package and it's something to take full advantage of.
In our review we will look at the offers provided, how to utilize them, inform you of the small print regarding free casino games online and discuss the gaming involved when putting the free rewards into use.
Casino Bonuses: "Sign up and register to claim your best casino bonuses, no deposit." Is the classic tag line!
If you were to do a line-up of all the homepages of every online casino from Vegas to Australia, Sweden to Spain, they would all boast the same Welcome Package theme and make each of the casinos indistinguishable to the eye. This is because the method is the best, if a casino wants a new member it's going to have to give a little for them to get the most out of it. Yes, it's a marketing tool, but you'll only come across them if you're looking to gamble on the many number of games that you could play for free.
The casino bonus or bonuses, depending on the casino's offer comes in three different variations, one is the sought after no deposit bonus, this being the most popular because it means no commitment to pay for the new member when they register, though of the three its easily the less lucrative. The no deposit bonuses usually provide the new member with a free small cash sum to play or gamble with, always £5 or £10, if the reward isn't money then it will be a small number of free spins.
Free spins are the basis of the next variation of the welcome bonus, this vastly increases in number when it's the main casino bonus on offer, new participants can gain anything from 100 to 1000s of free spins, though the slot fan which are those most likely to opt for this choice, may find they are restricted to playing certain games the casino picks. This aside the option for free spin bonuses can provide players enough attempts to build a healthy balance to either continue playing from or withdraw, once the free spin count is over. More details on free spins are over at https://www.miinverness.co.uk/.
The last of the online casino bonuses seems to be the less popular but is by far the most profitable, this is the deposit bonus. The word deposit tends to strike a minor fear into the gambler, but it's nothing more than putting in the money you're going to be gambling with anyway, so when a welcome package pops up saying, for example, 100% bonus, what this means is that if you were to deposit with £10 to gamble with, the casino, in turn, will multiply your £10 by 100%, giving you £100 as a balance to play or gamble from, it's a no brainer really, but people are different and thusly you have these three commonly used offers made available by the thousands of online casinos.
Looking for the best online casino bonuses UK Casinos offer, may not actually land you with the best UK casino!
It's an important factor to consider when searching for the best online casino bonuses in the UK. Are you just after a quick gain or a bit of fun, or have you pursued the online casino market for long term profit and to fully fulfil your gambling needs? For the latter, your focus should not be solely fixed on the glittering welcome bonuses, long term investment into a casino has to be the right casino. In practical terms, if you are a lover of slots, then you need a casino which has a speciality for online slot games, the same would be said for blackjack fans looking for free blackjack bonuses and those which enjoy playing roulette, the principle is the same for the preferred game of your liking. Casinos on the inside are not all entirely the same, you can have casinos which have a particular dedication to bingo, though they will have slots, the selection will be minuscule and rarely updated.
Getting more from a casino once registered is more profitable than the casino bonuses that are on offer to you.
Research is key, now the process isn't going to take you days or weeks, just a few hours of your time will be rewarding in the long run. Once you have taken note of the key points to look out for, you'll be able to locate your perfect casino in no time.
1. Certified and Regulated: Safety is paramount, the internet is not fully controlled and rogue casinos without the rights to run as a business are doing so. If the casino does not boast their licensing then steer clear, look for the signs usually found at the bottom of the homepage.
2. VIP Membership: A great place to analyze what a casino online offers it members once they have registered, the VIP club of a casino isn't some elite part of the site you have to jump through hoops to access, once you sign up you are immediately part of this VIP scheme and program. Find the rewards that take your fancy, some casinos offer holidays and cars, other don't and just rewards cash and free spins.
3. Promotions: In-house promotions for its members. Get an understanding what offers are put forward to the casino members to retain their membership. Promotions can be daily, weekly or monthly, some casinos offer the full package of free rewards. Some online casinos also have bespoke in-house games only the members can access as an exclusive bonus, these games are always rewarding to the casino's patron and are a key addition to the entertainment that can be had.
All these things can be check without registering, so shop around, take a look and find the best online casino uk for you, that also offers the best casino bonus or welcome package that suits your needs.
Any Canadians based in the UK? If so, the best online casino in canada resides in the link offered here.

She recently applied to help with the restoration of Shackleton's Hut in Antartica, and she's now heading south for the winter - 77 degrees south in fact.
To prepare herself for her departure, and to entertain and inform us from the ice she has started a blog, funnily enough called 77 degrees south!

Theories and Texts, a guide written by students for students, explores the critical ideas of twelve of the most influential philosophers of the last 150 years - Marx, Freud, Bakhtin, Lacan, Derrida, Barthes, Foucault, Bhaba, as well as a variety of feminist critics (Kristeva a the French feminists, black feminists, and theological feminists), New Historicists, and Postcolonialists. Carefully qdigestedq and then set out in lucid and easily accessible language, these essays explain major ideas of each critical approach and exemplify them through practical application to one or more literary texts. At a time when qtheoryq is on everybody's lips and yet is often more of a deterrent than an attraction for students of literature and culture, these essays show how theories can enrich our understanding of literature, facilitate our analysis of a particular text, elucidate the multiple layers of meaning, and thus significantly enhance the juissance in our acts of reading.The Poisonwood Bible, (1998), earned accolades at home and abroad, including the National Book Prize of South Africa. ...

Shooting Welsh wildlifeAll at sea, by Nigel Addecott
Boneparte's gull - a rare visitor to Wales, more commonly found in North America
The Welsh coastline is haven for gulls. Although hated by some for their food-stealing antics and the mess they can make of your nice, clean car, they are loved by others. Gulls are found in towns and cities; on lakes and rivers; and, of course, near the sea. There is, however, no such bird as a 'sea-gull'.
Ducks, divers and grebes are also commonplace on the sea, with many regularly seen quite close to the shoreline and sometimes on inland waterways too.
Black-throated diver
Great northern diver
Great crested grebe
Sometimes we are lucky enough to see birds from across the Atlantic, particularly following big autumn storms, such as this lovely Long-billed dowitcher that would have originated in the USA. But this one turned up at Rhaslas pond, near Merthyr Tudful!
None of us is far from the coast. Promise yourself to head down there as soon as you can... and look at the seabirds with a fresh eye.

Keith Urban has revealed plans to release a new album and go on tour.
The country singer explained that he has been working on songs for his next LP throughout the year and is now "chomping at the bit" to complete the record.
Urban said during an edition of his Urban Chat video series: "I'm really anxious to get back into the actual studio and really start working on an album.
"I've got a bunch of songs and I'm really excited about getting in and recording."
He will be working on his album throughout July and August and will soon announce a tour in Australia and the US.
Urban recently finished filming the first season of The Voice Australia, whose winner Karise Eden has already topped the ARIA singles chart.
Last year, Urban underwent surgery to have a polyp on his vocal cords removed.
Months later, Urban returned to the stage for the first time since the throat surgery, performing some of his greatest hits.
Watch the video for Keith Urban's 'Without You' below:

Internet essay
Erik Jan Zürcher
In the literature on the Armenian massacres of 1915, the fact that
Ottoman Armenian males were drafted into unarmed labour battalions
(amele taburları) is often depicted as an element in the
destruction of the Armenian community in the empire. It is considered
one of the instruments employed by the Unionists to achieve the
desired "ethnic cleansing" (to use a term that is even
more anachronistic than that of "genocide"). Drafting the
Armenian male adults into the army in this manner after all had the
twin effects of leaving them in a vulnerable position within the army
and at the same time depriving the villages they left behind of their
most active defenders.
The labour battalions

Is your Android watching you?
No comments · Posted by lance in Android
Your smartphone's camera might be spying on you
Researcher Syzmon Sidor has created an app that will stealthily activate the camera on an Android phone. The trick is bypassing the requirement in Android to have a preview window open any time the camera is active. Syzmon's solution was to make the preview window only a single pixel.
From there, one can use the typical methods to hide the application and have it run in the background. Of course, the attacker still needs to get the app on the phone. Hiding this functionality in some useful app on the Android app store is probably the most likely course.
This would be a good argument for keeping your phone in your pocket or purse, rather than sitting on a table with an interesting view.

Easy bypass to Android App signing discovered
1 Comment · Posted by lance in Android, hacking, Mobile, Security Breaches
Infosec Institute published an article showing in detail how application signing on Android devices can be defeated.
This trick allows the attacker to modify a signed application without causing the application to fail its signature check.
The attack works by exploiting a flaw in the way signed files in the .apk zip file are installed and verified. Most zip tools don't allow duplicate file names, but the zip standard does support it. The problem is that, when confronted by such a situation the signature verification system and the installer do different things.
The signature verifier checks the first copy of a duplicated file, but the installer actually installs the last one.
So, if the first version of a file in the archive is the real one, then the package will check as valid, but then your evil second version actually gets installed and run.
This is another example of vulnerabilities hiding in places you least expect.

Mobile phones are being in the EU homes over fixed lines.
A survey has revealed that 25% of us within the European Union will use our mobile phones even when at home instead of landlines.
And a fifth of us are now making calls over the Internet.
The European Commission's survey of 27,000 homes found that the figure of mobile users in the 10 ex-communist states was even higher at 39%.
This is because the cost of upgrading the old fixed line networks has been deemed to be too expensive in some countries whereas mobile calls can be kept low because of increased competition from different telecoms companies.
The highest figure was 61% and that was Finland, the home of Nokia no less.
However, the EU has used the survey results to hit out at mobile phone companies and roaming charges, which they say are restricting Europeans from using their mobile phones when they travel between countries.
EU Telecoms Commissioner Viviane Reding said: "For the one last time, I call on mobile operators to react to my request of February to voluntarily but clearly bring down mobile roaming charges for text messages and other data by 01 July".

Specific Service (Business Logo) Sign Program
What is the Logo Program?
This program was enabled by the passage of Assembly Bill 1257 in 1992. The program commonly referred to as "Business LOGO Signing Program", is designed to direct motorist not familiar with the area to "FUEL", "FOOD", "LODGING", and "CAMPING" services at or near rural freeway interchanges.
Under the program, Caltrans will furnish, install, and maintain Specific Service Signs within the highway right of way. The LOGO panels are provided by the business.
Specific Service Signs identify the types of services available at the next rural freeway off-ramp. Signs can contain one or more types of service categories:
Specific Service Signs have a blue background with a white border and legend. There are two types of Specific Service Signs:
- Specific Informational Signs
- Supplemental Directional Signs
The Supplemental Directional Sign is placed on the off-ramp. It is a smaller version of the larger freeway sign and may include mileage and an arrow directing motorists to the appropriate direction of travel.
Does my business qualify?
A business whose primary and principal source of revenue is from the sale of goods, products, or services which fall within the service categories of "FUEL", "FOOD", "LODGING", and "CAMPING", and qualify for signing under the LOGO program rules and regulations.
Who do I contact?
To find out if your business can qualify, it is recommended that you contact the LOGO Coordinator in the Caltrans district in which the sign will be installed.
What is the cost?
LOGO panels must be fabricated and delivered to Caltrans by the applicant.
Caltrans Installs the sign(s)
ANNUAL PERMIT FEES cover the cost of administering and processing the permit:
$100.00 for each panel, in each direction
ANNUAL RENTAL FEES cover the cost of maintaining the panel and the sign:
$250.00 for each panel, in each direction
SERVICE FEES cover the cost of installing, covering, removing, reinstalling, or replacing a business logo panel:
$100.00 for main line / $50.00 for off-ramp
TRANSFER FEE is required for any change in ownership, for each permit:
$50.00 for each permit
A typical initial cost* for one business LOGO panel would be:
$100.00 - Annual permit fee
$250.00 - Annual rental fee
Totaling: $350.00 Minimal cost per business LOGO panel installation per direction
*plus $50.00 per Supplemental Directional Sign when, or if required.

Their professions range from textbooks to medicine to finance to construction, but Robert Hicks, Rick Lang, Brian Chung and Lance Westberry forged an ideal golf partnership during the trip of a lifetime.
The Country Club of Lexington men "brother-in-lawed" perfectly and finished third in the National Kidney Foundation Classic finals over three of the country's most famed layouts — Pebble Beach Golf Links, Spyglass Hill Golf Course and the Links at Spanish Bay.
"We had an unbelievable experience over spectacular golf courses," Westberry said. "We definitely meshed as a team" and finished 33-under par for the three-round finals played in a scramble format.
To equalize the competition, rules required the four-player teams to have a combined handicap of 42 with one with a low index. A team had to use each player's tee ball at least three times in each round.
"Rick's our best player; he's really good," Westberry said. "Brian and I are about 10s (handicaps) and Robert is about 22. We're friends and play with different people, and this (team) just came together perfectly."
Hicks put the team together with one primary requirement — availability.
"He asked around to see who could play on a Monday (in a fall qualifier at the Members Club's Woodcreek Course) and, more important, who could go to California (in January) if the team qualified," Westberry said. "We played together very well. In the tournament, we had to use at least three drives by each player, and everybody made putts."
The South Carolinians flew to California on a Wednesday evening, arriving on the West Coast close to midnight. They played a practice round at Pebble Beach – "probably the second best course in the world," Westberry said — on Thursday, competed in the tourney the next three days and returned home on Monday. Their quarters — the spectacular Inn at Spanish Bay — enhanced the experience.
The real winner was the National Kidney Foundation, which raised an estimated $5 million through the tournament this year. Since its inception, the event has raised more than $90 million for the awareness, prevention and treatment of kidney disease.

Air New Zealand most attractive employer for third consecutive year
Air New Zealand has been inducted in to the Randstad Awards Global Hall of Fame after being named the countrys most attractive employer for a third consecutive year - the first time an organisation anywhere in the world has won the prestigious accolade three times in a row.
The Randstad Awards are currently held in 18 countries and are now in their 13th year internationally. In New Zealand the awards have been running since 2011 with Air New Zealand taking out the top honours every year.
Randstad, a specialist HR and recruitment provider, surveys around 7,000 employees and job seekers in each country to identify companies they recognise and indicate their preference to work for these organisations.
Nominated companies are then assessed across a range of areas including strong management, financial health, job security, development opportunities and a good work-life balance.
Air New Zealand ranked highly with 86 per cent of respondents acknowledging they knew the airline well enough to have a strong opinion and positive perception about the brand. More than half of this group also indicated they would like to work for the company.
Air New Zealand Chief Executive Officer Christopher Luxon says the airline strongly believes in investing in its people and developing a winning team from within.
We have long acknowledged our people are one of our greatest assets and have worked hard to create a culture which fosters positive and engaged staff and firmly places us at the cutting edge of our industry.
We believe this culture translates to more positive experiences for our customers, greater productivity, more innovative thinking and ultimately to strong business results and its pleasing to see this commitment recognised externally, says Mr Luxon.
The Randstad Award
First launched in Belgium in 2000, the Awards are now hosted in 18 countries around the world including Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, the UK and the USA. The Randstad Award is totally unique with the winner decided via feedback from the general public. Organisations cannot nominate themselves to enter. The scale of the employer branding research is unrivalled internationally with Randstad Award research gathered from over 160,000 people (of working age).
Air New Zealand is proud to be a member of Star Alliance. The Star Alliance network was established in 1997 as the first truly global airline alliance to offer worldwide reach, recognition and seamless service to the international traveller. Its acceptance by the market has been recognised by numerous awards, including the Air Transport World Market Leadership Award and Best Airline Alliance by both Business Traveller Magazine and Skytrax. The member airlines are: Adria Airways, Aegean Airlines, Air Canada, Air China, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana Airlines, Austrian, Avianca, TACA Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Copa Airlines, Croatia Airlines, EGYPTAIR, Ethiopian Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines, Singapore Airlines, South African Airways, SWISS, TAM Airlines, TAP Portugal, Turkish Airlines, THAI, United and US Airways. EVA Air has been announced as future member. Overall, the Star Alliance network offers more than 21,900 daily flights to 1,329 airports in 194 countries.

text: I thought some of you would be interested in this. I have a CB product I created that is aimed towards a particular Health niche business within the United States. There are thousands of these business' across the United States so I decided I would try using 3 telemarketing services on Fiverr and see how sales go. Telemarketing Service # 1 - Willing to Call 20 Leads Telemarketing Service #2 - Willing to call 10 leads Telemarketing Service #3 - Willing to make calls for 1 hour - So were looking at maybe 50 phone calls made for $15 I also promised $5 commission for every sale they make Total Cost - $15 The product sells for $20 So if they sell for example 1 Product ($20 Revenue) - (Initial $15+$5 commission) $0 Profit 5 products ($100 Revenue) - (Initial $15+$25 commission)= $60 Profit 10 products ($200 Revenue) - (Initial $15+$50 commission) = $135 Profit I would rather not say the product as I am not looking for affiliates right now. This is more of a case study to see how well fiverr telemarketing can work for you. The telemarketers will be making phone calls over the next 2-3 days so I will post my CB stats then! Any Questions?

We know that through early detection and individualized intervention, children with autism make significant progress. The funds raised through our partnership with A.C. Moore will give more children with autism the care, guidance and support they need.
Berlin, NJ (Vocus) March 27, 2010
It may seem puzzling at first, but there's a crafty and creative way families can help people living with autism this spring. A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts, Inc. has teamed up with Easter Seals to launch an in-store campaign and crafting event that asks customers to Act for Autism® from March 1st through April 17th.
Customers who visit any A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts store during the March 1st through April 17th timeframe will be able to donate $1 to Easter Seals' Act for Autism campaign at checkout. The money raised will support Easter Seals autism services in those same local communities, giving thousands of children and adults with autism access to critical services that help them live, learn, work, and play.
At the culmination of these efforts, A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts will host free in-store "Make and Take" craft events at its 135 locations on April 17, 2010 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. EDT for children and their families. Here, customers can come into the store to decorate an Act for Autism jigsaw puzzle or go online for instructions to create one at home (http://www.acmoore.com or http://www.actforautism.org).
The campaign coincides with National Craft Month in March and National Autism Awareness Month in April, and gives customers an opportunity to express their creativity, make a personalized puzzle, learn about autism—it's signs, symptoms and support through treatment—and help support families living with autism.
"It's all part of our new Crafting a Better World™ initiative," says David Abelman, Chief Merchandising and Marketing Officer for A.C. Moore. "We're thrilled to have the opportunity to heighten awareness and provide an outlet for both our employees and customers to make a difference in their communities."
Why Act for Autism with A.C. Moore and Easter Seals
"We know that through early detection and individualized intervention, children with autism make significant progress," explains Dr. Patricia Wright, MPH, Ph.D., national director autism services, Easter Seals. "The funds raised through our partnership with A.C. Moore will give more children with autism the care, guidance and support they need."
Today, one in 110 children are diagnosed with autism and there's an increasing need for funding, services and support. There's no known cause, cure or single effective treatment, but people with autism at any age can make significant progress and lead meaningful lives. Getting the right support at the earliest stage in life can help a child gain the skills he or she needs to be successful.
"A.C. Moore and Easter Seals are a great fit—we're able to combine our efforts to raise autism awareness, build community involvement and hopefully, inspire children of all abilities to find their inner artist," adds Wright.
About A.C. Moore
With 135 stores along the Eastern Seaboard, A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts, Inc. brings families together for fun through creativity. The company offers a wide range of programs to engage adults and children in crafting, including workshops, demonstrations, Make & Takes and in-store birthday parties. In addition to traditional craft products, A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts is also well-known for its selection of scrapbooking, jewelry, floral, yarn, fine art supplies, children's crafts kits and educational toys, along with ready made frames and custom framing.

David and Sandy Kraft were living in a cabin in the small town of Hayesville, NC when one evening David asked, "What do you think about retiring overseas?"
Sandy replied, "I'd love it. Where…France…Italy?"
These days, David and Sandy enjoy spending their spare time strolling along the cobblestone streets of Cuenca…always finding something new to enjoy and admire.
They often pop into little cafes for an inexpensive almuerzo—the fixed menu lunch. At weekends, they regularly head for the subtropical warmth of the Yunguilla Valley, situated in a lower elevation about an hour outside of Cuenca.
It's a lovely life.
But initially, Sandy was less than impressed with David's suggestion. In October of 2013 she reluctantly accompanied him to the colonial city of Cuenca so they could put his "crazy" idea behind them.
It didn't take long for Cuenca's charms to work their magic. The spring-like weather, colonial architecture, low cost of living, and especially the friendly locals soon had Sandy singing a different tune.
"After three days I felt like I had come home," she recalls. "I shocked David by saying I didn't want to go back to the States. I told all the wonderful people we met that we would be back in 90 days."
Sure enough, in January 2014 they returned with 10 suitcases, two cats, and as much carry-on as they could bring.
David and Sandy love everything about their new hometown—the warm and friendly people, spring-like weather, low cost of living, and mountain vistas. David says, "We don't have a single regret about moving to Cuenca. Everyone we have met here has been so helpful and pleasant, and so tolerant of our limited Spanish."
"The bread, fruits, and veggies here are wonderful, but as Southerners we found the bacon to be, well…not so great," says Sandy. "So we started experimenting with different methods of making our own."
The couple had a custom smokehouse built on the rooftop terrace of their home and found a local butcher who could produce the specific cuts of pork bellies necessary to produce the highest quality product.
"We started doing this solely for ourselves," says David. "But almost immediately we found ourselves besieged with requests from friends and neighbors who tasted our savory bacon."
At first they sold only to individuals, but before long local restaurants were asking to carry their bacon based on customer requests.
What started as a hobby quickly grew into a cottage industry…and a nice income.
"We have had many inquiries to expand beyond Cuenca but it's not going to happen. We have a wonderful niche here and are very comfortable remaining in that niche," says David.
Lifestyle comes first for the Krafts.
"Even the time we spend 'working' is social and fun, since friends often help with the food preparation. Who knew that through our hobby we would meet so many great people," says Sandy.
"We came to Cuenca to retire," says Sandy. "We're amazed that our simple interest in enjoying delicious bacon would have turned into a successful business. We feel lucky and blessed to share our products in this beautiful city with so many wonderful friends."

NBAA Board Appoints Baldwin Interim President and CEO Following Longmuir DepartureStaff Changes Announced
Contact: Cassandra Bosco
Washington, DC, April 1, 2004 – National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Board Chairman Donald E. Baldwin today announced the departure of President and CEO Shelley A. Longmuir. Effective immediately, Baldwin also will assume the position of NBAA Interim President and CEO.
"Under Shelley's leadership, NBAA has been a dynamic force advocating for the business aviation community in Washington," Baldwin began. "We appreciate her service to the organization and wish her the best in her future endeavors.
"Shelley's contributions will be missed," Baldwin continued, "but we must remain as focused as ever on the increasingly complex business aviation issues faced by our Members. I'm confident that the team we have in place will continue to serve our organization at the highest levels."
With aviation safety and homeland security as the cornerstone of NBAA's agenda for the near future, the organization will continue its aggressive work under Baldwin's direction. A search committee, headed by NBAA Vice Chairman Ken Emerick, will begin work on identifying a new President and CEO. "We will conduct a thorough search, on a timetable to be determined," said Emerick.
Baldwin also announced the resignation of Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Corporate Secretary Robert P. Warren.
Additionally, Senior Vice President, Operations Robert P. Blouin and Director of Public Relations Cassandra J. Bosco, will continue in their positions at the organization.
"Our Board is as committed as ever to solidifying NBAA's position as the leading aviation trade association in Washington," Baldwin concluded. "This is a time of transition for our organization, but we have great bench strength and talent within our staff, and a long tradition of effectiveness in Washington. We know that those elements will remain in place as we move forward."
NBAA represents the aviation interests of more than 7,600 companies that own or operate general aviation aircraft as an aid to the conduct of their business, or are involved with business aviation. NBAA Member Companies earn annual revenues approaching $5 trillion — a number that is about half the gross domestic product — and employ more than 19 million people worldwide. The NBAA Annual Meeting & Convention is the world's largest display of civil aviation products and services.

Cleaning Out The Negative Things In My Life Part Two ;)
Hi everyone!
I just wanted to thank everyone for your responses to the first post of, Cleaning Out The Negative Things In My Life. I read all of them. I realized that after watching a Joyce Meyer's show today, which was exactly on this topic, that I need to not worry or waist time of what others think of you or say about you. You cannot stop them from doing what they do, or saying what they will say. Let them say it! The less you respond to the negative, God will bless you for it! I wish that I could post it on here. I will try later. Its very helpful.
So I just wanted to say thank you for your loving support. Have a very Merry Christmas!

Anna, this is great. Have a very Merry Christmas and may the New Year bring you nothing but blessings.
Well i just saw a little quip today:
"Calm seas never made a skilled sailor"
I guess we all need to ride some nasty waves in the course of life to make us skilled at really living it.
Wow you really got a lot of people commenting on your first "Negative things" discussion! A lot of people are supporting you there! Two pages. That is great!
Thank you jayabee, blessing to you and your also. Merry Christmas. I was not expecting that many responses. I tried to answer them last night. Everyone was so supportive, maybe a few who weren't. But I appreciate every who responded possitivly. Thanks to you to!
I agree!!
