Aston has developed a strong reputation for working closely with industry, the professions, and other stakeholders and for the strong focus on providing solutions to real problems of industry, and addressing societal challenges with high impact research. Since our creation in 1895 we have been an integral part of our region and its employers, advancing knowledge in a relevant and meaningful manner. Our competitive advantage is based on: our strong performance in REF2014; our research partnerships and business engagement; our cross-school, collaborative and interdisciplinary research ethos; and the employability and entrepreneurship of our graduates.
We are making strategic investments and leverage substantial funding from external sources, to create a thriving research environment that promotes scholarship and generates critical mass and research capability by which to win and deliver successful projects. We will grow and develop our institutional research strengths in support of our ambitions to be a leading research-led University across a range of disciplines from science and engineering through to medicine and social sciences as well as promoting multi-disciplinary research across Aston's research communities and beyond. Aston plans to achieve significant and far-reaching impact arising from all of our research in forms that are relevant, transformational and exciting for each discipline.
Support for researchers is at the heart of our research ambitions and the overarching aim is to provide a vibrant and supportive environment for individuals and cohorts of researchers to develop their research careers, through training and the promotion of a positive research culture, which reflects our commitment to Athena Swan and promotes equality and diversity throughout. Our Graduate School is central to our efforts to provide excellent research student support and progression, and develop researchers and supervisors through a combination of courses, supervision and training.
In a highly competitive environment, success in research requires us to understand the external environment in order to mitigate risks and take advantage of opportunities. We will develop strong interfaces with government agencies and gain foresight of research opportunities by working closely with our external partners, business and other research funders.
Aston has always had an enterprise focus as exemplified by Temazolamide (the $ billion block buster brain cancer drug). The positioning of enterprise alongside research provides the opportunity for us to develop a bolder vision and ambition for enterprise. We plan to enhance our enterprise activities to make them more coherent and impactful, especially focusing on the closer integration between research and enterprise to generate an entrepreneurial culture.
The University has excellent relationships with business and the professions and we will further expand our account management process to form strategic partnerships with business and gain a competitive advantage via our proven ability to engage with SMEs.

My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
Because of the heavy snow blanketing much of West Virginia and the region, the lay faithful of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston are relieved of their obligation to attend Mass this weekend.
Travel conditions vary across the diocese, but in most cases roads remain treacherous, and safety must remain our paramount consideration.
I urge you to please check on your neighbors, especially those who are ill, at risk or who are elderly. I also ask you to pray individually or as a family, remembering all those who are affected so drastically as a result of the snow.
Know that you remain in my prayers as we prepare to recover from this massive snow storm.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
+Most Reverend Michael J. Bransfield
Bishop of Wheeling-Charleston

Engineered hardwood flooring has become a very popular choice for house and building flooring. Of course, the popularity is gained by the benefits of the flooring. If you plan to remove your old flooring, or you are planning a new building, you should learn the benefits of engineered hardwood flooring and choose it.
Stylish Look
Wood has the natural lines and patterns all people like to look at. Now, engineered hardwood offers something more. You can have the same natural look that encourages most interior and exterior design. But you will have something more reliable and stylish. It also has better durability. It will match with all of your ideas for the house.
Easy Installation
Engineered hardwood floor is very flexible on installation. You can use it as a solid floor, and you can also have it as a floating floor. Each will need different ways to install, but still, that will be easy. Many people even bring their floor when they move, just because they know how to do it. You can learn from the manual.
Easy Repair
The most common problem with hardwood flooring will be scratches and dents. You can re-sand it easily. However, we have a trick here. Buy your engineered hardwood flooring that uses only 6mm surface wear. This will make it easier to re-sand and repair. For more affordable cost, you can try to repair it by yourself.
Engineered hardwood flooring is designed to be more than durable. You can use it on literally all rooms. Basement, as below grade room, can use it as well. You can also use staples or nails on it. It is up to you. The flooring will be perfect and it will fit in as well everywhere.
Eco Friendly Option
Recent engineered hardwood floor is made of plywood. It grows fast and we can use it since it is young. Recent boards are longer and wider as well, so we practically use less wood. With the finishing, the durability is also better. It means we do not have to use too much chemical substances for cleaning.
Now, you understand why people really love this flooring choice. They know all the benefits as you do now, and decided that this will make the best flooring option. If you are fine with the fact that engineered hardwood flooring finishing is limited, then you will make a real pretty house.

Carnival Grows Upby Anne Campbell | March 4, 2005
Since taking my first Carnival cruise in 1993, I've seen the line reinvent itself into a company that builds some of the most noteworthy ships in the industry -- with some of the highest levels of creature comforts. During my recent one-week cruise on the new 110,000-ton Carnival Valor, I saw even more steps in that progress. It was only the seventh voyage of the new ship, sailing from Miami to the Eastern Caribbean but the biggest bang for the buck I've seen in years.
The 2,974-passenger Carnival Valor doesn't grab you with the Tivoli lights and the garish colors found on the older Carnival vessels; instead, one's eyes are drawn to very creative custom artwork depicting the vessel's theme, "Heroes". The central atrium is lined with bas-relief faces of early American presidents and other famous people from the 18th and 19th centuries. Architect and designer Joe Farcus used the U.S. flag as his inspiration for the atrium's design, with a wavy dark red and beige dance floor and red and gray granite floor and cocktail tables.
Each night, passengers are given a daily program of the next day's activities, with a list of events as long as your arm for filling the time between meals. Fitness buffs will find a large state-of-the-art gym with all the pushing, pulling and aerobic machines one could want. Exercise classes are available throughout the day (there's a $10 surcharge for Pilates); outdoors, there's volleyball and basketball and a designated walking track But most passenngers seemed content to spend a day at sea on deck, either poolside -- where a terrific band performed -- or in the further reaches of the ship where only the sound of the sea intruded.
Carnival Valor sails year-round from Miami on alternating seven-day eastern and western Caribbean cruises. Eastern Caribbean cruises call in Nassau, St. Thomas and St. Maarten, while western Caribbean cruises visit Belize, Honduras, Grand Cayman and Cozumel.
Reservations and additional information may be obtained from travel agents or visiting www.carnival.com.

Dangerous Trades and High Risk Jobs
Would it shock you to learn that there are thousands of trades and high risk jobs available to workers? Probably not. But you might be surprised at the titles of some of those trades and high risk jobs and exactly what makes them so dangerous. For instance, did you know that manicurists are at risk because they deal with the fumes and liquid residue of chemical solvents all day?
Below are three specific trades and high risk jobs under the category of "grounds maintenance" (which seems like a harmless occupation and is even one frequently sought-after by teens or college students during their summer breaks) as determined by the National Institute of Health (NIH):
Trades and high risk jobs example #1:
Pesticide Handlers, Sprayers, & Applicators - These workers are in constant contact with insecticides and rodent excrement, handle agents that can cause dermatitis, and may even work in tick infested areas.
Trades and high risk jobs example #2:
Grounds Maintenance Workers (general) - These laborers must apply insecticides, clean pools, inhale moldy compost or dust (including that from the feces of birds, chicken coots, rodents, or bats), spray clorothalonil, and saw or sand arsenic- or creosote-treated wood.
Trades and high risk jobs example #3:
Tree Trimmers & Pruners - These individuals machine allergenic wood, inhale dust, touch plants that contain thorns or splinters, and work in tick-infected areas.
Are these trades and high risk jobs seemingly benign? Yes. But are they potentially dangerous? Absolutely.
That's exactly why many workers who choose trades and high risk jobs (whether they knew the risk before they joined or not) become injured either while at work or after long-time exposure working in a certain environment. And it's not just grounds maintenance personnel who are at risk - the trades and high risk jobs span across many fields, including arts & media, cleaning & pest control, construction, food service, food processing, logging, material moving, textiles, welding, and woodworking.
At our law firm, we have handled hundreds of cases on behalf of those who work at trades and high risk jobs and their loved ones. We'll promise to work for the best settlement possible for you. Call us today using our toll-free number or send us an email. From there, we'll set up a no-obligation consultation with you and one of our legal professionals. Don't delay - call now so you don't risk overshooting the statute of limitations on your lawsuit.

Whether your toddler's siblings are older, younger, or yet to be born there will be a variety of sibling-related issues to deal with. As parents, you will need to decide when to intervene, mediate, or turn your back all together and let things work themselves out. Listed below are some suggestions for the sibling scenarios you will most likely encounter. Use this advice as a guide to help you deal with the hundreds of other situations that are sure to arise.
It is usually a hectic time when mother and father bring the new baby home from the hospital. Mom is usually tired and preoccupied with feedings and caring for herself and the baby. Father is distracted trying to be as helpful as possible. The older child will feel left out and ignored. So this is the new baby!
As difficult as it may seem, the arrival of a new baby should change your older child's life as little as possible. Emphasize the things that are going to stay the same: you will still play with the same toys; we will still go to the same park to play; we' ll still have our special times together. You should try to make all possible big changes several months prior to the birth of the baby. If the older child's room is to become the nursery, move him prior to the birth and make a big production out of the new "big boy's (or girl's) room. This way he will feel as though he is moving because he is a big boy and not because the baby is pushing him out.
If your child is old enough to be helpful with the new baby, take advantage of the opportunity! Even a young child can get you baby wipes or a bottle or a new diaper and every little thing that he can do will only help with the bonding process with the new sibling. A small child almost always wants to hold the new baby, and parents tend to hesitate for fear of hurting the baby. But, if the child sits on the floor or in a large upholstered chair, there's little risk. Stay close just in case, but not so close that your older child senses your concern. In these small ways the parents can help a child to actually transform resentful feelings into cooperativeness.
More often than not, the left-out feeling is more apt to be experienced by the first child when the second baby arrives, because he has always been in the spotlight and has no experience sharing his parent's love with others. The middle child doesn't have decide between being a parent and being a baby when the new one arrives. He can see that he is still just one of the children, as he has always been.
Childhood jealousy takes many forms. Whether your child decides to bop the new baby on the head with a toy, or becomes mopey and dependent, or becomes preoccupied and introverted, you can be assured that there is always some sort of jealousy going on. Your job is not to forcibly suppress the jealousy but rather to help the feelings of affection come out.

The memories of WPA are fading except in the elderly who lived through those difficult times. I've included information about the WPA at the end of the listing. It is interesting that the program included artists. This is a very nice rendition. Have not researched to artist, but really like the work.
Medium: Watercolor.
Size: Sight 10" by 13 1/2"; Framed 17 1/2" by 21 1/2".
Provenance: From a Palm Beach collection.
About the WPA:
Of all of Roosevelt's New Deal programs, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) is the most famous, because it affected so many people's lives. Roosevelt's vision of a work-relief program employed more than 8.5 million people. For an average salary of $41.57 a month, WPA employees built bridges, roads, public buildings, public parks and airports.
Under the direction of Harry Hopkins, an enthusiastic ex-social worker who had come from modest means, the WPA would spend more than $11 million in employment relief before it was canceled in 1943. The work relief program was more expensive than direct relief payments, but worth the added cost, Hopkins believed. "Give a man a dole," he observed, "and you save his body and destroy his spirit. Give him a job and you save both body and spirit".
The WPA employed far many more men than women, with only 13.5 percent of WPA employees being women in the peak year of 1938. Although the decision had been made early on to pay women the same wages as men, in practice they were consigned to the lower-paying activities of sewing, bookbinding, caring for the elderly, school lunch programs, nursery school, and recreational work. Ellen Woodward, director of the women's programs at the WPA, successfully pushed for women's inclusion in the Professional Projects Division. In this division, professional women were treated more equally to men, especially in the federal art, music, theater, and writers' projects.
When federal support of artists was questioned, Hopkins answered, "Hell! They've got to eat just like other people." The WPA supported tens of thousands of artists, by funding creation of 2,566 murals and 17,744 pieces of sculpture that decorate public buildings nationwide. The federal art, theater, music, and writing programs, while not changing American culture as much as their adherents had hoped, did bring more art to more Americans than ever before or since. The WPA program in the arts led to the creation of the National Foundation for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The WPA paid low wages and it was not able to employ everyone — some five million were left to seek assistance from state relief programs, which provided families with $10 per week. However, it went a long way toward bolstering the self-esteem of workers.

The UK fiasco has continued unabated. Neither the Conservatives nor the Labour party have any effective leader. It is quite clear that the victorious Leave camp is totally divided as to what should happen next, and there is no clear plan as to what level of engagement or disengagement the UK will have with the European Union.
The market collapse that is taking place is the responsibility of the utterly irresponsible leaders of the Leave campaign. So, it could well be that having wielded the knife against David Cameron, Boris Johnson may yet go the way of a previous Tory challenger: Michael Heseltine. Perhaps Theresa May as leader could provide some reassurance, but in the face of economic meltdown, the calls for an early general election -which under the circumstances is clearly necessary- may create an untenable situation for any party. The fractious and divided body politic of the UK is on the brink of collapse. The cowardly, but sullen and determined Jeremy Corbyn is facing the total breakdown of his leadership, but there are few amongst the Labour leading lights who can inspire in the face of the national catastrophe that we now have to face.
Into this chaos the markets are injecting their own commentary. Despite the brief reemergence of the Prime Minister and his Chancellor, the market collapse is now assuming a very dangerous shape. Some are suggesting that the cable (USD/GBP) rate is now headed to parity, which implies a fall of one third from Thursday night's close. The implications are startling. The UK will fall from the fifth largest nominal economy to eighth, just above Italy. The recession that this implies is into double figures. It implies the implosion of the UK property market, it implies cuts in the government budget of the order of 10-15% across the board- a level of austerity that could seriously test the social order of the country. All of the gains made since the early 1990s will have gone over the course of a few weeks. UK bank stocks are now in deep decline- over a third of the value of the UK banking sector has gone in two trading days. The rout is expanding into construction, property and any business that relies on imports, which in the UK is pretty much all of them. The Brexit shock could push inflation very sharply higher. The scale of the meltdown is mind boggling and since there is still no clear plan emerging in London, there is no bottom on the market.
Nor have other European markets been immune- there remains considerable uncertainty as to how the impact of the UK exit can be contained. Wisely, Mrs. Merkel has shown a cool head, suggesting that there was no immediate hurry and that it would be counter-productive to seek to punish the UK for this disaster. She is, of course, right: the punishment being meted onto the UK already is severe enough. However within a few days London must set out a timetable for what is going to happen next- and there is no such timetable. It is not even clear if any new Prime Minister would be able to enact an article 50 notice without a new general election. Paradoxically this chaos may stabilize the European Union itself, as other nationalist movements see what could happen to them, if they push things too far.
Yet even if the UK general election chose a solidly remain government and the referendum was indeed rescinded, the damage and humiliation being visited on the UK will not go away. Even though Scottish separation in the immediate future would be an economic neutron bomb if it was done too soon, there are hot headed calls for an immediate rerun of the independence vote: and the only leadership in the UK at the moment is coming from those who want to destroy it.
Personally I think that a lot of people now want to the Conservatives destroyed- they and their UKIP cronies are responsible for this catastrophe. Yet the pathetic response from Labour reminds us that politics as usual is not an option. Any election, however necessary, could throw up a Parliament that can not form a government of any kind.
The fact is that we may still not have reached any understanding of where the bottom of this crisis is going to be, and for as long as that remains the case, the markets will be in turmoil.

Why the foreign national market could be the niche you're looking for - Foreign National Market
The world isn't flat, but it's shrinking. The globalization of the planet through lightening fast communications, currency exchanges and the emerging status "citizens of the earth" has created, for the most part, borderless nations.
Global citizens are buying homes, investing and marrying outside their own countries like never before. In the U.S. there's a growing segment of America's population, no longer limited to living in the gateway cities of New York, Los Angeles and Miami. Case in point, 21% of Las Vegas is foreign born.
The American foreign market is virtually untapped by financial advisers, who are either unaware of this demographic group or the rules of engagement for people who are not U.S. citizens. The foreign community is presently niche market, but in the near future it will go mainstream. This episode is part one of a five part series introducing the foreign market to financial and insurance professionals.
Syndicated financial columnist and talk show host Steve Savant interviews foreign market expert Carey Rokovich, CFP, CLU, ChFC. The foreign national market is a large, growing population that faces unique US planning challenges. Foreign national have a significant need for information on financial planning concepts and desire US dollar denominated products. This series reveals the untapped foreign national market in America. It's a niche segment of our society that could be a significant opportunity for advisers.

Borzage's Moonrise
- el debbo
- 1/19/17
I enjoyed every minute of this excellent film. Dane Clark described himself as "the everyday American guy" in one interview. Here the deck is stacked against him. The sets are wonderful, everyplace so decrepit and Deep South, and everyplace peppered with old decrepit characters in backwater clothing. Loved it! Gail Russell was never better, such a sensitive, fine performance. This may have been Allyn Joslyn's finest hour, too. He played such a variety of characters.The same could be said for Henry Morgan as Billy. Wow. Rex Ingram as wise, lyrical Mose...perfect. The soda jerk was Phil Brown, a back-grounder in many movies but a superstar in the eerie "Obsession" with Robert Newton. A British film worth catching. 5 glimmering stars in a moonless night, that's my rating.
a classic Borzage
- Dave
- 9/15/10
A true work of genius. I own the novel from which this film is based and it follows it word for word.The camera work, the music and the cast are all first rate.I finally understand why Gail Russell has become such an icon.She is astonishingly beautiful and her performance in this is so real and touching.A tragedy we lost her at such a young age. MOONRISE needs a dvd release. It was on Video at one time but that was too long ago. This film needs to reach a wide audience. I heard from a friend that it is a staple at the London National Film Theatre.
This movie was a howler.
- cj Johns
- 2/4/10
I thought this movie was a howler. All through the movie I kept up this running commentary, laughing to myself. How can this woman get involved with this guy? Then, she falls for him in one kiss, no explanation. Who needs this loser? If he said Gillie one more time I was going to kill somebody. I bet the name Gillie appears in that script a thousand times. I don't fault the actors, just the stupid script. Every time they kept going back to the "wise old darkie" I started laughing. It was such a profoundly stereotypical part. Even though he was a "wise old educated darkie" it was still the same part. When the dogs started after Dane I kept thinking: You go girl get him for kicking you. I just had no sympathy for the main character at all. I forgot Barrymore was even in the movie before she appeared in that one scene.
Six minutes for Ethel Barrymore
- Jarrod McDonald
- 2/4/10
I'm an Ethel Barrymore fan, so I was a little disheartened that she only appears at the end of the film with about six minutes of screen time. Nonetheless, the story is well told, and Dane Clark does a marvelous job as Barrymore's fugitive grandson. But I think this story would've been better had it been about a young black man whose father had been lynched years earlier. If remade today, then the story could very easily apply to migrant Mexican laborers who are often denied justice due to illegal status and community suspicion.
A Great Borzage classic with superb cast.
- Mark
- 2/1/10
One of Gail Russell's finest hours. Her performances got better and better and she became more beautiful in the late 40's
- sall
- 1/7/08
I hope this film will be released to the public on DVD to enjoy.

14 October 2017 Bible Reading
Today's reading includes the 84th Psalm. Psalm 84 consists of two halves. The first half focuses on the idea of pilgrimage to the House of God. The second half focuses on how much better it is to dwell with God than apart from Him. These lessons are as applicable to Christians today as they were to Old Testament believers traveling to the tabernacle or temple of God in Shiloh or Jerusalem. Indeed, the main theme of this psalm is finding our home with God.
Jeremiah 23:21-25:38
21 I sent not these prophets, yet they ran: I didn't speak to them, yet they prophesied. 22 But if they had stood in my council, then had they caused my people to hear my words, and had turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings. 23 Am I a God at hand, says Yahweh, and not a God afar off? 24 Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? says Yahweh. Don't I fill heaven and earth? says Yahweh. 25 I have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. 26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart? 27 who think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgot my name for Baal. 28 The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he who has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat? says Yahweh. 29 Isn't my word like fire? says Yahweh; and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? 30 Therefore behold, I am against the prophets, says Yahweh, who steal my words everyone from his neighbor. 31 Behold, I am against the prophets, says Yahweh, who use their tongues, and say, He says. 32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, says Yahweh, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting: yet I didn't send them, nor commanded them; neither do they profit this people at all, says Yahweh. 33 When this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask you, saying, What is the burden of Yahweh? Then you shall tell them, What burden! I will cast you off, says Yahweh. 34 As for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, who shall say, The burden of Yahweh, I will even punish that man and his house. 35 You shall say everyone to his neighbor, and everyone to his brother, What has Yahweh answered? and, What has Yahweh spoken? 36 You shall mention the burden of Yahweh no more: for every man's own word shall be his burden; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of Yahweh of Armies our God. 37 You shall say to the prophet, What has Yahweh answered you? and, What has Yahweh spoken? 38 But if you say, The burden of Yahweh; therefore Yahweh says: Because you say this word, The burden of Yahweh, and I have sent to you, saying, You shall not say, The burden of Yahweh; 39 therefore, behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast you off, and the city that I gave to you and to your fathers, away from my presence: 40 and I will bring an everlasting reproach on you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
24 Yahweh showed me, and behold, two baskets of figs set before Yahweh's temple, after that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon. 2 One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first-ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad. 3 Then Yahweh said to me, What do you see, Jeremiah? I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, that can't be eaten, they are so bad. 4 Yahweh's word came to me, saying, 5 Yahweh, the God of Israel says: Like these good figs, so will I regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, for good. 6 For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up. 7 I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Yahweh: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God; for they shall return to me with their whole heart. 8 As the bad figs, which can't be eaten, they are so bad, surely Yahweh says, So will I give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt, 9 I will even give them up to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil; to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive them. 10 I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, until they be consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.
25 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (the same was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), 2 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying: 3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, these twenty-three years, Yahweh's word has come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking; but you have not listened. 4 Yahweh has sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them (but you have not listened, nor inclined your ear to hear) 5 saying, Return now everyone from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that Yahweh has given to you and to your fathers, from of old and even forever more; 6 and don't go after other gods to serve them or worship them, and don't provoke me to anger with the work of your hands; and I will do you no harm. 7 Yet you have not listened to me, says Yahweh; that you may provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt. 8 Therefore Yahweh of Armies says: Because you have not heard my words, 9 behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, says Yahweh, and I will send to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations around; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations. 10 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp. 11 This whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. 12 It shall happen, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, says Yahweh, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it desolate forever. 13 I will bring on that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations. 14 For many nations and great kings shall make bondservants of them, even of them; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands. 15 For Yahweh says, the God of Israel, to me: take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink it. 16 They shall drink, and reel back and forth, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. 17 Then took I the cup at Yahweh's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom Yahweh had sent me: 18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and its kings, and its princes, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is today; 19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people; 20 and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of the Uz, and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod; 21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon; 22 and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea; 23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all who have the corners of their beard cut off; 24 and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed people who dwell in the wilderness; 25 and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes; 26 and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are on the surface of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them. 27 You shall tell them, Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says: Drink, and be drunk, vomit, fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you. 28 It shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink, then you shall tell them, Yahweh of Armies says: You shall surely drink. 29 For, behold, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth, says Yahweh of Armies. 30 Therefore prophesy you against them all these words, and tell them, Yahweh will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he will mightily roar against his fold; he will give a shout, as those who tread grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth. 31 A noise shall come even to the end of the earth; for Yahweh has a controversy with the nations; he will enter into judgment with all flesh: as for the wicked, he will give them to the sword, says Yahweh. 32 Yahweh of Armies says, Behold, evil shall go out from nation to nation, and a great storm shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth. 33 The slain of Yahweh shall be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung on the surface of the ground. 34 Wail, you shepherds, and cry; and wallow in dust, you principal of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are fully come, and you shall fall like a goodly vessel. 35 The shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape. 36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the principal of the flock! for Yahweh lays waste their pasture. 37 The peaceable folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of Yahweh. 38 He has left his covert, as the lion; for their land has become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppression, and because of his fierce anger.
2 Thessalonians 2
2 Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him, we ask you 2 not to be quickly shaken in your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, saying that the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the departure comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God. 5 Don't you remember that, when I was still with you, I told you these things? 6 Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way. 8 Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation of his coming; 9 even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn't receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie; 12 that they all might be judged who didn't believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 13 But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth; 14 to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brothers, stand firm, and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word, or by letter.
16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, 17 comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.
Psalm 84
For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.
84 How lovely are your dwellings,
Yahweh of Armies!
2 My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh.
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3 Yes, the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young,
near your altars, Yahweh of Armies, my King, and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house.
They are always praising you.
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you;
who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
6 Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs.
Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.
7 They go from strength to strength.
Everyone of them appears before God in Zion.
8 Yahweh, God of Armies, hear my prayer.
Listen, God of Jacob.
9 Behold, God our shield,
look at the face of your anointed.
10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,
than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield.
Yahweh will give grace and glory.
He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
12 Yahweh of Armies,
blessed is the man who trusts in you.
Proverbs 25:15
15 By patience a ruler is persuaded.
A soft tongue breaks the bone.

T.I. turned down offers to pen a memoir because he's convinced he's "too young" to look back on his life at the age of 31.
The hip-hop star, real name Clifford Harris, Jr., is making his literary debut with fictional book Power & Beauty: A Love Story of Life on the Streets, but he reveals his very first book could have been an autobiography.
He says, "I think I'm too young to have an autobiography at 30, 31 years old... And also I think people expected that. It's easier to write about yourself, but if you actually have characters and create an actual story that people can become consumed with, that's more of an attribute to your skill."
But his new writing venture does not mean he's turning his back on hip-hop.
He adds, "There will be more music, I'm not retiring."
The rapper recently revealed he's working on two sequels to Power & Beauty, as well as a relationship self-help book with his wife, Tameka 'Tiny' Cottle.

NEW ORLEANS — The soul-penetrating chants of Tibetan monks reverberated through Hall G of the Ernest Morial Convention Center on Tuesday in preparation for the sand mandala being created in honor of the Dalai Lama's first visit to New Orleans.
Open for public viewing, the sand mandala is an elaborate Buddhist art form painstakingly constructed over a period of days or weeks using colored sand and poured a few grains at a time.
On Friday, the mandala will be swept away and carried by ceremonial procession to the Mississippi River. The current will bring the blessings of peace and compassion imbued in each granule into the Gulf of Mexico and then into the world's oceans, said Ronald Marks, dean of the Tulane University School of Social Work, the host of the Dalai Lama's historic visit.
A crowd of close to 100 spectators gathered around the mandala and chanting monks, some sitting in meditative position, some with eyes closed and others holding phones in the air to capture the opening ceremony digitally.
The mandala is created in a state of intense mediation and precise artistry over the four-day period, but Gael Thompson, outreach coordinator for the Dalai Lama's visit, said she found particular beauty in its taking apart.
"As Westerners we are so attached to outcomes and finished products. In this practice, it's an example of how impermanence is present in life all the time," Thompson said.
Marks called the process of the making of the sand mandala a "road map to enlightenment."
The 16 monks building the mandala in the Convention Center are originally from the Drepung Loseling Monastery in India but are living in Georgia.
The crushed white marble granules that are colored with natural dyes were brought by the monks from India.
Ngawang Khenrab, spokesman for the monks, said that in part, the purpose of the mandala is for meditation and visualization. Khenrab talked about meditation as a mind-training practice with scientific results that have shown benefits including reducing stress and boosting the immune system.
"It is for everybody, whatever their religious background," Khenrab said.
There are many types of mandalas, Khenrab said, and the one at the Convention Center is intended to invoke the presence of the Buddha of Compassion, Avalokiteshvara, and to request his blessing for healing, peace and harmony.
The Dalai Lama, who will be at the Convention Center on Friday, is considered to be the reincarnation of Avalokiteshvara.
As the chanting was brought a close with the playing of horns, drums and symbols, four of the monks began drawing out the design for the mandala, a process that took several hours, before beginning to pour the colored sand onto the surface.
The geometric design is made with meticulous precision using a protractor and compass.
Watching quietly, Hillary Albins said she attended the event out of curiosity, and because she was dealing with some things her life for which she hoped the monks and mandala might "provide some insight and compassion."
A jewelry maker, Albins said she was also interested in the ancient designs and geometric shapes used in the artwork.
Upon hearing that the Dalai Lama was visiting the city in which she was born and raised, Albins said she was very excited. "It made me feel like somebody of significance was being thoughtful and turning toward the town that it feels like the governmental structures abandoned."
Albins said she still had anger following what she said she refused to call Hurricane Katrina, calling it "the federal flood" instead, and felt many painful issues had been swept under the rug.
The Dalai Lama's visit "is someone saying: We need to heal. That means a lot. It's what I was waiting for," Albins said.
On her way down the escalator from a walk through the room designated as the Tibetan Cultural Center, Marie Schmitt carried a newly purchased "Free Tibet" bumper sticker and string of Tibetan prayer flags.
Schmitt said she would stop by every day to watch the creation of the mandala. "It brings me calmness and inner peace," she said.
The sand mandala will be open to public viewing inside Hall G of the Convention Center from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday and from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday. On Friday it will be available for viewing from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., when the closing ceremony will include the procession to the river.

microcephaly manifestations and treatment
microcephaly - severe malformation of the brain.This disease is characterized by a reduction in the circumference of the skull (and brain, respectively) on two or more segmental abnormalities, severe mental retardation, convulsive disorders and impaired motor functions.This pathology among mentally retarded children takes about 20%
causes of microcephaly
Distinguish microcephaly two types:
- Primary (genetic, simple), appears in the early stages of fetal development due to the impact of various adverse factors and infections(toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus)
- Secondary (complications combined) develops as a result of brain damage in the last months of fetal development, at birth and during the first months of life
microcephaly characteristic of these syndromes:
- Syndromecat cry
- Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
- Patau Syndrome (Trisomy 13 chromosome)
- Prader - Willi
- Syndrome Edwards (Trisomy 18 chromosome)
- Miller syndrome
Manifestations microcephaly
skull circumference significantly reduced, and the weight of the brain itself may be just 500 - 600 grams;sutures and fontanelles are closed during the first months after birth.Most of the patients have varying degrees of intellectual disability.Motor areas in primary microcephaly relatively preserved, and neurological symptoms expressed rather weakly.In secondary microcephaly seizures occur significantly affected motor skills, intellectual shifts are very pronounced.
Diagnosis of the disease quite simple and is based on the presence of the patient's reduced head size and intelligence detected underdeveloped.Microcephaly must be differentiated from craniostenosis
Treatment microcephaly
To date, specific treatment of the disease does not exist, therefore applies only symptomatic therapy, which consists in taking anticonvulsants, absorbable and sedatives, biogenic stimulators, vitaminsB. seizures appointed receiving antiepileptic drugs.

Written in 1895, Alfred Nobel's will endowed prizes for scientific research in chemistry, physics, and medicine.

My Disney's Princess Half Marathon Weekend with Hidden Mickeys
My wife Vickie and I planned a full schedule for the Run Disney Weekend in late February, 2012. First up was the 1000th podcast for the WDWToday.com crew. We relaxed in the audience in the Atlantic Dance Hall on the BoardWalk as Mike, Matt, Annette, Len and Mike sat on stage and recorded their 1000th episode. That's quite a long run! They promised to continue on with their successful format. Inside the large dance hall, we spotted an image that might qualify as a Hidden Mickey! It's on the right side wall as you face the stage, and it's formed by three swirls (one large swirl and two smaller ones as "ears") along the lower part of a painting.
At my table, Vickie, Marc, Matt, Amy, Charlie, Brad, Tony and Fernando voted in this image as a Hidden Mickey!
Vickie and I walked over to World Showcase in Epcot to check out some Hidden Mickey sightings. In the France Pavilion, a classic three-circle Hidden Mickey hangs in the shop that adjoins the wine shop Les Vins de France. It's at the upper left of a bulletin board on a wall opposite the entrance to the shop, and it's red, white and blue! (Thanks to Wendy, Tawny Peedin and Carlos Font, and The McCully Family).
I was told that Cast Members in the Japan Pavilion placed rocks to form a classic Hidden Mickey at the bottom of a pond. It's right in front of the outdoor seating area for the Katsura Grill counter service restaurant. (Thanks to Orlando Attractions Magazine, Claudia, and Ian B.)
I think it's pretty close to a decent three-circle image of Mickey. What do you think?
Early the next morning, Vickie and I met our neighbors and good friends, Billy and his daughter Brittany, after the Finish Line of the Disney Princess Half Marathon. Billy earned the Goofy Medal last month (he ran the half and the full marathon on the same weekend), and he ran the Disney Princess Half Marathon to support Brittany. Now that's cool! And they both made it! Love those tutus!

While competing on Rachael Vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-off for Project A.L.S., Judy Gold stole the show with her wit, humor…and family recipe for Pugochle cookies. Now, she's sharing them with the whole Project A.L.S. family.
Judy's Pugochle Cookies
4 Cups Flour
1 Cup Sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1 lb. butter
2 Tablespoons Sour Cream
Pinch of Salt
Mix dry ingredients together. Cut in butter. Add eggs and sour cream. Mix until smooth. (This requires squashing with your hands). Roll into 4 balls and sprinkle all of them with flour. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. I usually make them in the AM and then don't make the cookies until the PM or the next day.
Roll out on a well-floured board and flour the rolling pin as well. Use a glass to cut into cookies – not too thin. You can also use a cookie cutter.Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 12 minutes. Check after 10 minutes – they will burn if they are thin. I make them about ¼" thick so they are like shortbread.

As a Catholic Climate Ambassador with the Covenant since 2011, I've been involved in promoting the message of caring for our common home by giving talks throughout the Southwest. However, what I'd like to share with you here is how my own parish got started in creation care, which involved a truly collective effort and the contributions of many people!
Here's our story:
As a university professor, I had been teaching climate science for decades, so I deeply understood the serious implications of the climate change issue, but it was my FAITH that finally opened up new ways for me to do something about it! After being inspired early on by the U.S. Bishops 1991 pastoral statement Renewing the Earth, and again by their 2001 statement on Global Climate Change, in 2008 I collaborated with other concerned parishioners to facilitate an 8-week "Just Matters" program on climate change in our parish. At the end of our final session, a question emerged: "How do we respond to this as a parish?" asked our pastor, Msgr Tom Cahalane. These were just the right words, spoken at the right time, to set the gears in motion that began our parish-wide efforts to "care for creation" at Our Mother of Sorrows Parish in Tucson, AZ.
About the same time, at a breakfast meeting between Msgr Tom and parishioner Hank Krzysik, a related discussion took place. Hank had recently felt called to begin applying his skills as a LEED certified architect to aid faith communities by advising them on energy efficiency, having been inspired by reading Pope John Paul II's 1990 World Day of Peace message: Peace With God The Creator, Peace With All Of Creation.
With our pastor's encouragement, when Hank and I put our heads together, a vison for our parish program emerged and a small committee was formed with Hank as chair. We wrote a proposal and our Care for Creation Initiative (CFCI) was officially approved by the Parish Council and launched at the end of 2008. Here is our Vision Statement:
"We envision a parish that has been transformed into a prayerful, environmentally sensitive, and committed community that serves as loving stewards of the gift of God's Creation and advocates for sustainable practices that will protect God's gift of Creation for all life that depends on it – especially the poor – and the future generations who will come after us".
From the start, our mantra was "baby steps," and bit by bit we've been able to accomplish quite a lot in the past 9 years. Here are a few of the things that worked for us:

Medicare and Medicaid chief tells long-term care providers: CMS is on their side
Don Berwick
Improving the quality of care and targeting waste and fraud are priorities for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, chief Donald Berwick, M.D. told a large group of long-term care providers Tuesday.
The CMS administrator told a general session audience at the LeadingAge annual meeting that the agency is "not just a payor but part of the solution." CMS' mission is better health, better care and better cost through improvement, he said.
Berwick added that current high costs are partly the legacy of overtreatment via fee-for-service programs. CMS will also cut costs by eliminating excessive administrative burdens and improving coordination of care, he said.
"We have to build teams instead of fragments," he told McKnight's editors in a personal interview. "People, especially with chronic illness, they need to journey through a system. They are going to see multiple specialists, they will be in and out of the hospital, they may need a smooth transition home... Now, with the Affordable Care Act and other innovations in public policy we can support seamless care, like accountable care organizations."
The LeadingAge annual meeting concludes Wednesday.

Lewis White, a Pulaski County, Indiana, farmer started giving more careful attention to his poultry flock some years ago and by continually keeping records on all his farm enterprises, he learned that the poultry was paying him better than any other part of the farm enterprise.
Better feeding came first, then better breeding, the flock was tested for bacillary white diarrhea, then better housing facilities were provided. Then the "experts" commenced to talk lights to increase feed consumption which would mean increased egg production. The Whites debated for three or four seasons whether or not they should put in electric lights. They were told that the increased production in a single year would pay for installation of the lights. Finally four neighbors including White went together and got the "juice" out from the town two miles away.
The lights were turned on to both the hens and pullets the twenty-fifth of September. A little later White started to feeding an all-mash ration and while both this and the lights seem to have greatly increased egg production, White avers that the total egg receipts during October more than paid his share of the cost of getting the lights. He now believes that those who told him that he paid for lights whether he had them or not were telling the truth.—I. J. M., Ind.
Sometimes when concrete fails to set properly, we blame the cement, when perhaps the gravel is at fault.
Cement authorities tell us that gravel ought to be tested before it is used for concrete work, to determine its suitability. The test they suggest is made as follows:
Take a fruit jar or other suitable receptacle, put in four inches of gravel or sand, and fill with water; shake well and let settle.
If more than one-fourth inch of fine silt or clay particles settle to the bottom the sample is considered unfit for good concrete construction. Probably about twenty-four hours are required for the settling.
Any farmer who wishes to test out his gravel to determine its suitability fur concrete manufacture, can easily run this simple test.—O. A. H., Ill.
Common honey bees have long been a source of study and cultivation. They are supposed to be of Asiatic origin, and were domesticated along the eastern shores of the Mediterranean at the dawn of history. They followed Roman civilization as it advanced into Europe. Early colonists brought them to America. In the long history of the bee, several races have been developed.
In 1860 the United States department of agriculture commenced a world-wide search for the best races of bees, and as a result we have four varieties, each excelling others in certain ways.
The German bees, black or brown, seem to have become better acclimated. They are the common wild bees of the country. They have a bad temper, and are not easy to handle. Occasionally they desert their combs.
A bit careless in some respects, they are an easy prey to the bee moth. They must be watched carefully, else caterpillars, moths and cocoons take possession of the comb. These bees are not the best honey gatherers. They make white comb honey.
The Italian bees are large and beautiful. They were imported m 1860, and have become quite popular. These bees are noted for their gentleness, and are very industrious. They will continue their work while the frame is lifted, and the queen can be found without any difficulty.
The Italian bees resist the attack of the bee moth. In the colder parts of the country they do not winter very well. They are better honey gatherers than the German bee.
The gentlest and most beautiful of all bees are the Carniolans. In color they are ashy gray, with silvery white hairs. In 1884 these bees were imported from Carniola, an Alpine province. They withstand the winter better than any other race. No bees swarm so successively. This is clue, it is said, to the warm summers. Their honey is very white. These bees are very prolific.
Those parts of the garden on which there may be some trash remaining, where the garden was not fall plowed, might well be burned over. This will kill enormous numbers of insects that attempt to hibernate in trash, weed, etc., that may be in and around the garden.
The sagging of doors with braces set at different angles and the advantage of the tensile strength of wood over the compression strength was shown in some recent tests conducted by the Iowa state college.
The popular opinion is that gate No. 1 would stand the greatest strain. Gate No. 2 looks like it would pull loose and sag more easily.(Click on the "Image Gallery" to view the figures.)
A weight of 700 pounds was hung at the outer corner of the gates, which were hinged well up from the floor, for a forty-hour period. At the end of that time gate No. 1 had sagged three-eighths of an inch; gate No. 2 had not sagged enough that it could be measured.
The weight was then increased to 1,100 pounds. Under this load gate No. 1 sagged three-fourths of an inch and gate No. 2 sagged one-half inch, still showing the advantage of the brace in the position of the No. 2 gate.
It was pointed out that for a door that received considerable abuse, so that the nails would be likely to work loose, the brace in No. 1 would probably be better.—R. E. B., Iowa.

Other Worship Services
St. Luke's Church offers services throughout the week and in the community.
- Choral Evensong is a combination of two monastic offices, Vespers and Compline, taken from the Magnificat (Song of Mary) and the Nunc Dimittis (Song of Simeon). The importance of these canticles reflects the revelation to a young woman that she will bear Christ, while the old Simeon glorifies God as Christ is presented in the Temple. These settings, along with Choral Responses, Psalms, and Anthem reflect the season and are some of the most glorious moments in the Anglican Choral Tradition.
- Daily Morning Prayer and Community Eucharist on Wednesday
8:10 a.m. The service includes St. Luke's Episcopal School and is often referred to as "daily chapel." Each weekday morning, students gather in the sanctuary at 8:10 a.m. for worship, singing, and a lesson. This daily service is open to all who would like to start their day with prayer. Wednesday morning's service also includes a Eucharist.
