3.2 Excursus 2: On Frankism
3.2.1 The Early Years
Jakob Frank (1726 - 1791) was a Polish Jew born as Jacob ben Leiba into a family with strong Sabbatean ties. When he was only a few months old his family moved to the Ottoman Empire and once arrived continued to lead a restless life. In short sequence we find them in Czernowitz, Smyrna, Bucharest, Sofia and even Constantinople. Early on he gained the nickname 'Frank'; it betrayed his foreign European origins as it was a general appellation in the Ottoman Empire for Europeans since the time of Charlemagne and the Crusades.
On the night of his wedding in 1752 'the mystery of the faith' was disclosed to Frank by his groomsmen. Such ritual was the practice for initiating new members into the Sabbatean elite. The 'mystery of the faith' refers to the final revelation of Sabbatai Zevi which originally had only been shared with those disciples who converted to Islam together with him; its content was transferred orally only for decades among the sectarian elite. Frank, however, was sceptical and told his mystagogues he would only believe them if he saw that they indeed possessed "the wisdom of making gold" (Macieko, p.12; note: This early reference to Frank's alchemical interest is significant for our subject - yet, might also provide a hint about the nature of the 'mystery of the faith' revealed to Frank.) Despite his hesitations Frank decided to go to Salonika, a centre of Sabbatean faith at the time created and maintained by the famous and close-knit Dönmeh community.
Here one of the official successors to Sabbatai Zevi, Berukiah Russo (in Islam: Ottoman Baba, 1677-1720) had established a radical version of Sabbatianism and was declared by his followers to not on only be the reincarnation of Zevi but also of the G'd of Israel itself. Again, Frank questioned the divine status of Berukiah given that the latter not only died like an ordinary human, but also because he lived a life in relative poverty and with little political power… It was during this early time and contact with the Dönmeh sect that Frank's own spiritual agenda took shape: he set out to take up where Sabbatai and Berukiah both had failed - that is to establish a significant centre of worldly as well as spiritual power for the Sabbatean movement, with himself as the central figurehead and leader.
In the years to come we see Frank rise amongst the various Dönmeh groups - accelerated by his visionary and mediumistic skills through which he revealed many secrets and mysteries to his followers. Equally he continued the tradition of 'strange deeds' that was so critical for the foundations of Sabbatianism:
Despite his meteoric rise amongst the Dönmeh, Frank refused to become a leader amongst the sect and instead returned to Poland in 1755. Here we quickly find him imprisoned together with his disciples as part of an incident that ultimately would have tragic ramifications on many Jewish communities in the area. In short the incident on the night of the Shabbat is best summarised by its one of its earliest sources:
Interestingly, it is Frank himself who is purported to have pulled the heavy rugs from the shutters that night and opened the windows - for anybody to witness their Sabbatean celebration. In fact, what we encounter here is a rite based on the well known mystical marriage with the Torah amongst orthodox Jews. As we might remember, already Sabbatai Zevi himself had celebrated his wedding with the Torah in public - sat under the canopy, cradled the sacred scroll in his arms and sang her love-songs. However, Frank had gone too far in pushing this rite even further: Instead of turning the Torah into a metaphorical bride, he had turned a naked woman into a physical Torah, by placing the sacred crown on her and allowing her to sit under the holy canopy. In essence, Frank proved to true to his program announced at the grave of Nathan of Gaza: he aimed at nothing less but to turn all things spiritual into human (more specifically: female) flesh (Macieko, p.27).
By no means was this the only time sexual transgressions were reported for the Sabbateans. In fact we have evidence that it is not unlikely they still practiced 'sexual hospitality' as known from the Hebrew Bible. I.e. upon the commandment of their husband women were supposed to offer themselves up to visitors and even strangers coming to a Sabbatean's house. Here is a report from a member of the Polish Sabbatean community by the time Jacob Frank was their leader:
Not surprisingly, what unfolds in the four years to come, from 1756 to 1760 is a storm of religious banns and detentions, book burnings, political manoeuvres and powerful intrigues between all four major players involved: the orthodox Jewry, Catholic Church, Polish nobility and potentates as well as of course Frank and the various Sabbatean groups. For a short period - only three months right before its collapse - the star of Jacob Frank seemed to rise beyond anything orthodox Jewry, the Church or European potentates had seen ever before. Through the forging of powerful alliances as well as ruthlessly exploiting Jewish stereotypes such as the blood sacrifice of children for his own interest, Frank had managed to gain support from both the Church as well as the local nobility.
Clearly Frank was a man on a mission - not only to bring the rise of Sabbatianism to completely new heights, but more importantly maybe to lead all of his followers out of exile and gain large lands in the district of the former Podolia for settlement of his Sabbatean followers. As part of this strategy during 1759 - 1760 more than three-thousand Jews converted to Christianity - hoping to follow in the footsteps of Sabbatai Zevi and to be led into worldly and spiritual freedom under their new leader, Jacob Frank (Macieko, p.32).
While this narcissistic pomp and these wanton plans read like an episode of 'Games of Thrones' they were all over on 7th of January 1760. On that day Frank was arrested and spent the following twelve years in captivity. The Christian clergy had achieved exactly what they had aimed for: thousands of freshly converted new Christian church members, a significantly weakened orthodox Jewry - yet still strong enough to continually be exploited financially - and with the imprisonment of Frank himself no further thread to the established power balance in their Polish-Russian territories (Macieko, p.166f).
What now began was a new and completely unexpected phase of Frankism. Here is how it went: The goal of the bishop and potentate simply was to isolate Frank from his followers, to lock him up safely and ideally for the world to forget about him. At first glance there could not have been a better place than the one they chose: the remote Jasna Góra monastery in the South-Polish city of Częstochowa. Frank was the only prisoner here and special chambers, separated from the pilgrims to the shrine of the famous Black Madonna, had been prepared for him. Frank would spend the next twelve years confined to this place; initially completely isolated, then slowly with increasing contact to his family and followers and ultimately residing in the monastery with an entire entourage where they would hold their own services next to the monastery.
The unexpected turn, however, was initiated through Franks encounter with the cult of the Black Madonna of Jasna Góra. Legend tells that the enigmatic icon treasured in the monastery had been painted by Luke the Evangelist on a fragment of the table of the Last Supper and subsequently been brought to Constantinople from Jerusalem by Constantine the Great. When Frank arrived at the monastery the icon had already been the central locus of pilgrimage for Polish Catholics for centuries. Records tell us that in 1762 more than 200,000 pilgrims visited her sanctuary within a month and a half only - making her the most ardent object of spiritual devotion, both popular and learned (Macieko, p.169).
For Frank this was nothing but a revelation as well as a call to action: He evolved his teachings in no insignificant ways and interpreted Częstochowa as the actual Mount Zion. From here the Shekhinahwould 'raise from the dust' and she would do so in the icon of the Black Madonna. While other kabbalists had hinted at the parallels between the concept of the shekhinah and the Christian devotion to the Virgin Mary before Frank, only he was bold enough to postulate transformation of the former into the latter (Macieko, p.175).
But he even went further: according to Frank there is no separation between G'd, the shekhinah as well as the messiah. Because of the female gender of the shekhinah, thus, he assumed even the messiah as well as G'd herself were female. With this single act of revolutionary re-interpretation Frank identified not only G'd and the messiah as female - but also the Virgin Mary and the messiah as the very same spiritual principle. The gate through which according to Christianity the messiah had passed into the material world, now turned into the principle of salvation itself.
You think that's quite a handful for the pious Polish society of the late 17th century? Well, Frank had a dozen years of isolation right next to the black icon to even take the next step in his private cosmology. Take this:
Clearly the welcoming of the 'Maiden' was staged by Frank rather as a mystical vision than a royal rite. However, we know from an authentic source, a visitor to the Frankist court in its final stages in 1798 - i.e. more than thirty years after Frank had initiated this cult and seven years after his own death - that precisely this ritual was still performed when approaching Eve Frank. Finally, we should mention as well that of course Frank developed a related doctrine stating that he himself was both the father and (allegorical or not) husband of his daughter Eve, the true messiah (Macieko, p.178f).
When Frank finally was released from captivity in 1772 he had regained a large fellowship and was again recognised as one of the most important Sabbatean leaders in Europe. However, in truth he had moved on from many of the original teachings of Sabbatai Zevi and founded his own female cult of divine worship - as well as a strong outer circle of military defence.
From South-Poland Frank and his entourage relocated to Moravia, and in particular to the city of Brünn. It was here that not only a Sabbatean stronghold had remained throughout the years, but it also proved to be connected much closer to the local nobility and their necessary funds to entertain a growing circle of Frankists.
In Brünn Frank found shelter at his cousin's estate, the powerful Schöndl Dobruschka. Schöndl, equally famous and infamous for her beauty, sometimes carrying the epithet 'the whore of Brünn' was perceived as a strong female leader of local Sabbateans, possibly even within all of Moravia. She gave birth to twelve children; the most talented of them being young Moses who was 18 years old when Frank and his entourage arrived at their house. And here it is that our circle closes: Moses Dobruschka is the name we encountered in the beginning of our story on the Asiatic Brethren. A founding member of the order and - as it turns out - a member of the Sabbatean community by birth as well as a strong ally to Jacob Frank himself.
As we will see in the next chapter on the actual teachings of the Asiatic Brethren, there were quite a few interests and spiritual convictions these two men shared. The passion for alchemy was certainly not the least of it:
Jacob Frank and his court remained in Brünn for almost fourteen year until the spring of 1786. As we shall see these were the formative and most essential years during the short life-span of the Asiatic Brethren. During this time Frank developed strong connections into the Masonic communities of Vienna as well as into Germany. However, it is questionable at best wether his actual doctrines and teachings ever spread far beyond his own circle of fanatic followers. Freemasons and secret societies during this period most of all were interested in re-discovering the ancient wisdom and purported truth hidden in the Jewish mystery tradition. While it remained highly ambiguous to most of them, what this tradition truly was and what it was comprised of, Frank's teachings suffered two fundamental flaws in order to attract wider attention in such circles.
First, his teachings were incredibly fluid; they were not fixed on paper, they constantly changed and never assumed a homogenous, fixed form that could easily be transmitted orally or in writing. His eclectic body of beliefs and syncretic dogmas drew upon all three major religions of the time and were constantly evolved further by their teacher according to his personal needs (Macieko, p.263). Secondly, his actual rites and 'strange deeds' as performed in his inner circle simply might have been too radical for even the secret societies of his time. Noblemen and adventurer of the time had a huge interest in alchemy and the mystical arts; they wanted to wear robes and masks and listen to the master's voice in hushed silence. Jacob Frank instead was playing in a completely different league. The example of the death of his first wife might illustrate this: When people approached him mourning his wife's death, Frank scolded them and instead introduced new celebration rites to honour femininity. Shortly afterwards he was witnessed sucking at the naked breasts of two of his followers during such an honorary rite… Shocking of course to everyone who didn't know that Frank and his wife Hanna had been reported to perform public nude sex themselves (Lenowitz, footnote 1069).
The final chapter of the Frankists takes place in Germany, in the city of Offenbach beginning in 1786. Once more - even though in a much more confined and smaller environment than in 1760 - Frank took up all the pomp and mystery that had made him famous before his long captivity next to the Black Madonna. He and his court resided in an old palace they called the 'house of God' (Gotteshaus) and where their spiritual and worldly centre should reside for even many years after his death in 1791. Upon his entry into Offenbach Frank managed to receive exemption from communal laws for his entire entourage and his palace and thus was able to create his own little kingdom, a rampart against the rising tide of Enlightment (Aufklärung):
Only a few years after Frank's death the fame of the court at Offenbach had spread even further. When the young German writer and novelist Bettina Brentano reported on her impressions from the Frankists' way of life in Offenbach we already see the myth beginning to mix with memory. While Frank might have failed in bringing the new female messiah to his fellow cult members, he still might have prevailed in his original programme - which was to turn everything spiritual into human flesh.

The Mid-South corn harvest began early this year. "We're at least two weeks ahead of normal," said Erick Larson, Mississippi Extension corn specialist.
"The extreme drought — something Mississippi is still in the midst of — hastened crop maturity. Also, the warm conditions in the early part of the season accelerated the crop right out of the gate. The combination of those two things has led to this situation."
Arkansas corn producers have a similar story to tell.
"We're about a week to two weeks ahead of schedule — at least 10 days," said Jason Kelley, Arkansas Extension corn specialist. "March was really warm and the crop popped out of the ground raring to go. Normally, the crop might take two weeks to come up.
"This year, it was up in a week. It hasn't slowed down much since."
A producer Kelley works with in southeast Arkansas began harvesting July 25. "I asked if that was the earliest he'd ever started. He said, 'If not, it's within a day or two.'"
Of the three southernmost Delta states, Louisiana has been at corn the longest.
"We've easily cut 40 to 45 percent of our corn," said David Lanclos, LSU AgCenter corn specialist. "That's a week to 10 days ahead of our norm. By now, most farmers are running full throttle to get crops out. It isn't just corn. There are beans and milo ready to go. And, in some cases, rice is ready too."
Louisiana's dryland corn yields have been between 80 bushels and 125 bushels per acre. "I'm not disappointed in that, at all. We haven't cut as much irrigated corn since it's a week, or so, later. But numbers I'm hearing run from 120 to 180 bushels. The northeast parishes have 75 percent of the state's 330,000 acres — Madison, Richland, Tensas, portions of Concordia, East and West Carroll.
Louisiana's crop didn't get the quick start other states' did.
"But when pollination arrived, for the most part, we had weather that was decent. Shortly thereafter, when it came time for seed fill, we had optimum moisture for most of the state. Of course, there were growers irrigating but much of the state also received rain. That saved our crop."
In Mississippi, few harvest reports have reached Larson. Those that have show "yields have been fair. Most dryland is between 80 bushels and 115 bushels per acre.
"There have been no reports of aflatoxin. I'm very happy about that and not expecting any. It's hard enough for farmers with good crops — everyone is in an economic pinch."
Mississippi producers have had to irrigate corn more than Larson can remember in his 12-year tenure. "This is, by far, the worst year in terms of drought stress across the entire state. And it isn't just corn that appears to be short in yield — it wouldn't surprise me to hear other crops are hurting too. Regardless, because of so much irrigation, the crops will be very expensive."
Kelley said he just visited a verification farmer who'd begun harvest in east Arkansas. "He said moisture was at 19 to 20 percent. It was all going in the bin, so he didn't know the yield. From what I'm hearing, most yields are sound. Now, there is some dryland corn that will pull yields down — those are running around 80 to 100 bushels."
There also may be a few late-planted/replant corn fields still being watered. But the vast majority has had irrigation terminated and "this hot, dry weather that's zapping other crops is actually helping to dry down our corn.
"I got word today that some fungicides are being applied in north-central Arkansas. Those are being put out on some late-planted corn to help keep southern rust at bay. Some of that rust is moving but most of the crop is well past the point when it could impact yields."
Mississippi's sorghum acreage is down to around 20,000 to 30,000 acres. Larson suspects the crop will be "relatively short. However, it's typically better at handling drought. As a whole, because it's more stable under such stress, it shouldn't have its yield reduced as much as dryland corn."
Arkansas' sorghum acreage is also down. "The irrigated acreage is going to be good," said Kelley. "But the dryland crop did suffer quite a bit in this drought. The sorghum is early, too. It's at least as far ahead of the norm as corn — maybe a little further."
It's a different sorghum story in Louisiana. With about 25 percent of the crop harvested, "we're probably cutting about 120 bushels," said Lanclos. "Thus far, the lowest yield I've heard is 90. We'll have some worse fields but those will be fields planted in inadequate moisture where atrazine was never activated. Johnsongrass took over and many just let the fields go.
"The vast majority of sorghum acres, though — 80,000, or so — will probably average 90 to 110 bushels. It's shaping up to be an exceptional sorghum year."

So, I was reading a book that I kept flinging against the nearest wall. I would pick up the book off the floor and read some more until the book would go airborne once again.
As I made my way through the book, The Gift of Pain, I was more than a little bothered at what I was reading. The book asked me to believe in the impossible: that pain is a gift.
Eventually, I came to understand the premise of why the authors viewed pain as a gift. One of the authors, Dr. Paul Brand, worked with people with leprosy (in India and in the U.S.) for most of his life. He discovered that a big reason people who have leprosy have deformities are because they lack one important thing: the ability to feel pain.
A person who has leprosy may put her hand on a stove and not retract it because she does not feel it to be painful with an obvious result of possible severe burns. Dr. Brand discovered that people with leprosy often did not tend to wounds because they were not painful and infection would develop. The examples go on and on where pain would normally protect the body, and its absence caused injury/disease/amputation/death.
After working for five decades with people with leprosy, it is an understatement to say that Dr. Brand developed an appreciation for pain. For him, pain is good, a gift even.
I understand Dr. Brand's perspective. However, one of the main reasons my copy of his book kept hitting the wall with force was because my migraine pain, my New Daily Persistent Headache pain did not seem to fit into his understanding of pain. My pain does not tell me that something is wrong. It just exists.
How could I ever see my pain as a gift? I have many reasons why my migraine pain, my NDPH pain is a burden. I have not been able to work for the last two and a half years. My friendships have suffered. I am homebound much of the time. I miss out on activities I used to do. The list goes on.
But, I could not dismiss the book. I felt the challenge to discover reasons why my pain is a gift. And, I did, but perhaps not in the sense Dr. Brand or his coauthor were suggesting.
Through things I have lost, there are things I have gained. It is hard to put into so many words all the things I have gained as a result of my pain. A lot of what I have gained are moments of enlightenment. I learned things about myself, such as I needed more of a balance in my life instead of pushing myself to the limit. I learned to stop caring what others thought of me. If I had to go to a store with side effects of medications making me incoherent, I had to let go of what people might think when they saw me and/or talked to me. These experiences brought me freedom.
I found how I could be there for others in a different way than I had in the past. I could participate in my support network in the forums at MyMigraineConnection. I discovered my new "job" of praying for others. I used to pray for people, but never had the time to truly devote to everyone in my life. My compassion for others has greatly increased. Having to "detox" off of pain medications that had induced Medication Overuse Headache gave me compassion for others in similar situations. Having to drive cautiously and slowly because my preventatives have slowed my brain down gave me patience for the car in front of me who is driving slow.
Most importantly, this disease has solidified my relationship with my DH. We were engaged just ten days when my migraines and NDPH started. We have had to walk through the fire, but it has refined us. I believe that we have a closer relationship now then we ever would have had if we had not had to deal with all these obstacles so early in our engagement and in our marriage.
Dr. Brand and his coauthor, Phillip Yancey wrote in The Gift of Pain, "Gratitude is the single response most nourishing to health." The reality of how the pain has affected and changed my life is sometimes difficult to swallow. But, I feel challenged to continue to find how to be thankful through and despite my pain.

Here I am
Hello blogging world.
I am not exactly sure what I am going to share or how I'm going to share it. But, I am excited, none-the-less, to send my thoughts out there and see where they go.
My blogs will probably hover around the topic of how Migraine disease and New Daily Persistent Headache affect my life as well as how my faith in Jesus affects my perspective on those.
I am looking forward to sharing, learning and discovering.

Aprilia was in Milan today, unveiling its 2012 World Superbike team with Max Biaggi and Eugene Laverty. For this season, Aprilia Racing is outfitting its RSV4 race bikes with the company's classic black & red livery, a break from the white Alitalia paint scheme from last year. Unable to defend his #1 plate, the 40-year-old Max Biaggi will return to racing with his "3" on the front of his RSV4.
Eager to regain World Superbike's top position, Biaggi's toughest competition could come from his own teammate. His second season in World Superbike, Laverty has shown a great deal of promise already on the Aprilia. Keep your eye on the Irishman for some podiums in 2012. Technicals specifications and 14 hi-res photos of the WSBK-spec 2012 Aprilia RSV4 are after the jump.

A war on the weak and the different often takes on a bipartisan flavor, and is at its most virulent at the extremes of the right and of the left. Ideology trumps morality.
As you may recall, many of our neo-cons came from the far left, making an almost seamless migration to the far right.
Unless one understands the nature of such extremism as being essentially statist, and antithetical to individual life, one cannot see the nature of their otherwise strange interconnectedness and convergence.
The extremes of the left and right can sometimes be kindred spirits, particularly in their disdain for the merely human, in light of the needs of the policies of the State and its models of perfection.

Computing and Atlas
The Atlas Computing Cluster is the world's largest and most powerful resource dedicated to gravitational wave searches and data analysis.
Atlas was officially launched in May 2008 with 1344 quad-core compute nodes. One month later it was ranked number 58 on the June 2008 Top-500 list of the worlds fastest computers. At that time it was the sixth fastest computer in Germany.
It was also the worlds fastest computer that used Ethernet as the networking interconnect! This is notable because Ethernet is a relatively inexpensive networking technology. The faster machines on the Top-500 list all used costlier interconnects such as Infiniband or proprietary technologies. This means that worldwide Atlas came in at the front of the performance/price competition. In recognition of this, Atlas received an InfoWorld 100 award for being one of the 100 best IT solutions for 2008.
Currently, Atlas consists of more than 2500 compute nodes, each one with at four, six or 26 physical CPU cores. Additionally, we have about 2000 GPUs installed where dedicated programs can be run on. Atlas can store 5 Petabytes on hard drives and 4.5 Petabytes on magnetic tape for data archiving. Its theoretical peak computing power is more than 1 PetaFLOP/s. To connect all compute nodes, a total of 15 kilometers of Ethernet cables have been used. The total bandwidth is about 20 Terabit/s. Currently more than 1000 scientist are registered as users.
Atlas is the most powerful computer cluster in the LIGO Scientific Collaboration. It contributes roughly half of the entire compute power available within the collaboration. Since the beginning of the second observation run O2, Atlas has contributed almost 320 million CPU core hours to LIGO Scientific Collaboration data analysis efforts.

Douglas R5D-4 Skymaster (8477)
Original design was started in 1939 as the DC-4 for the airlines. The first batch was commandeered off the assembly line in 1942 and redesignated C-54. C-54s were first delivered to the Army Air Forces in March 1942. They saw service in every theater and were the primary airlifter across the Atlantic and Pacific, making nearly 80,000 crossings with the loss of only 3 aircraft. 201 C-54s were delivered to the Navy as R5D Navy Transports. The Presidential version was a C-54 outfitted with a hydraulic elevator for President Franklin D. Roosevelt and nicknamed the "Sacred Cow." The Berlin Airlift of 1948-49 used 319 of the approximately 400 C-54s to haul supplies to the city with the Russians closed road and rail access to the city. This aircraft at Castle Air Museum, which was assigned to Navy Transport Squadron VR-8, was one of those so used. Over 189,000 flights were made in the 15 months of the lift, delivering 2.3 million tons of food, fuel and supplies. C-54s served until 1972.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. --Officials released the identities of the two people killed when a car crashed into a bus bench in Riverside.
Melissa Bernal, 28, and Aniya Mitchell, 7, were killed in the crash. Authorities say the two were not related. Two others, a man and a woman, were transported to an area hospital with critical injuries.
Investigators said a driver lost control of his car, careened across three lanes of traffic, struck a light pole and then slammed into a bus stop, where four people were waiting for the bus.
The incident happened near Magnolia Avenue and Tyler Street Friday afternoon.
Police say the driver, a 45-year-old Riverside man, did not appear to be under the influence. The incident remains under investigation.

Frankfort, KY (August 25, 2009) -- Today, the Joint Banking and Insurance Committee held a hearing on autism insurance reform at the Kentucky State Capital. The hearing was attended by dozens of families dressed in red. Members of the Committee listened intently and asked probing questions for an hour and a half. Speaker of the House Greg Stumbo, while not a member of the Committee, also attended and participated in the hearing.
Those who testified in support of autism insurance reform included: Lorri Unumb, Senior Policy Advisor and Counsel for Autism Speaks, Anne Gregory, Janet Pope, FEAT of KY, and Dr. Stacy Trinkle. Sen. Ray Jones, who introduced the autism insurance reform bill in 2009, also gave an impassioned plea in support of the legislation.
Following the hearing, Lorri Unumb and Bart Baldwin, a lobbyist for the Childrens Alliance who has volunteered his time for this effort, conducted a two-hour advocacy training session for parents and other interested parties.
Miss Kentucky, Mallory Ervin, attended the hearing and the advocacy training session; autism is her platform issue for the year.
Legislation for autism insurance reform was passed by the Senate Committee in 2009 and will be refilled for 2010 session by Rep. Scott Brinkman and Sen. Ray Jones.

During an internship with TripAdvisor's mobile team in summer 2013, I helped design a hybrid native/mobile web iPad application.
Our team wanted to restructure the app's content, flatten the UI to align better with the newly-released iOS 7, and build more features to match tripadvisor.com.
The app enjoyed a steady 4.5 star rating on the App Store before we redesigned the application 18 months later.

So this week was really good. We've been working with R. and her family a bunch this week. Her parents are finally starting to warm up to us but they are still really Catholic so they don't agree with the baptism. It makes me so frustrated because there is a Catholic church on their block and they don't even go to church, they just say they're Catholics. Anyways, R. and her brother T. came to church with us this Sunday and loved it. The Bom Jardim ward is one of the best wards I've passed in on my mission. The members help so much in the work with referrals and fellowshipping investigators and all that good stuff. R.'s older sister Re. didn't go to church with us because her daughter was sick so she had to stay home. But it will all work out.
On Thursday we had a zone conference in Caicó which was really good. It was fun to see everyone there. Then on Friday the ward had a big activity out at a little farm house and they invited us to go so we went. They had a pool there and a little grass area where everyone played soccer. Then we had a barbeque after which was bomb. A member gave passed a referral so we went there that night to teach him. His name is F. and we had a really good lesson on the restoration with him. We also taught one of his neighbors, M., with him. After then lesson something interesting happened. She came up to me and said that she had had a dream a few nights before and in that dream a bunch of tall men wearing white shirts and ties were having a conversation with here but she couldn't understand anything that they were saying. She said as soon as she saw me she had the distinct impression that I was there in her dream. This was before she had even met me. To be honest I was a little shocked. I told her that we had for sure been sent to her because she needed what we were teaching and she said she would have her son read the Book of Mormon to her because she doesn't know how to read. We're gonna keep working with both F. and M.
But that's about it for this week. I love you all! Thank you for everything! Happy Easter! A igreja é verdadeira!
Elder Harris

Hamburg Center also strives to discover and support each person's dreams and desires.
Hamburg Center is located in Berks County, approximately 30 miles west of Allentown and 17 miles north of Reading.
The center is officially licensed as an intermediate care facility for people with intellectual disabilities. (ICF/ID). More importantly, it is home to 121 people who receive a wide range of services.
The campus consists of 278 acres with 39 buildings. Approximately 145 acres are leased to neighboring farmers.
Interstate 78 passes through the northern section of the campus making access to our facility very convenient through the town of Hamburg.

As citizens of the United States and residents of Hamburg Center, protecting the rights of those who live here is paramount. We are committed to empowering them to exercise their rights to the fullest extent. These rights are shared with the individuals on a routine basis. They include:
Along with several other state facilities, Hamburg Center was originally founded as a hospital to care for people with tuberculosis. Known as the Charles H. Miner State Hospital, it opened in 1914 and closed in 1959 as medicine triumphed over the deadly disease.
In January 1960, the facility re-opened as a center for people with intellectual disabilities. It was transferred from the Department of Health to the Department of Human Services and renamed The Hamburg State School and Hospital. Later, it was renamed its current name, Hamburg Center. In this, its 50th year, Hamburg Center continues to carry out its mission of providing care and services to people with intellectual disabilities, with a goal of helping them learn to live independently in the community. At one time, more than 900 people lived at Hamburg Center. Today, the center has 122 occupants, many with physical as well as intellectual challenges.
Hamburg Center provides a wide range of services and programs, including recreational programs, living skills and vocational training, occupational and physical therapy, speech therapy, psychological and social services, and medical and dental care.

The number of house-building permits fell 5.5% in March, the most since July, curbing optimism that the sector was gaining strength after years of malaise.

About David Wright Autographed Bats
Wright's speed and smart techniques with the David Wright Autographed Bat on the ground helped his school team to win many games, which later resulted in winning him the state level top prizes consecutively for three years from 1999 to 2001, and in the process he also collected the Virginia All State Player of the Year trophy along with Gatorade Virginia High School Player of the Year trophy in the same year and that was the time when many fans also collected the David Wright Autographed Bat: 2005 Stats to pay tribute to the living legend that he was on and off the fields at any given point of time. He had been associated with his high school for four years, during which he had scored about point four hundred and thirty eight with thirteen homers and about ninety RBIs.
One popular sports channel says that in 2001, David Wright was hired to play for the New York Mets as a fresher, which occurred owing to the exit of their star player Mike Hampton by the Colorado Rockies. Aaron Heilman who became his teammate in the senior league soon after, was hired in the very first round of the training camp. However, this act did not demotivate Wright about his survival in the team, where he had a stable journey with the St. Lucie Mets in the class-A division earning him a Sterling award two years after joining them to play in the minor league. He has even endorsed the popular David Wright Signed Baseball Bat - Game Model.

With Windows 2000 and an uncertain future looming on the horizon for Microsoft, key executives of the company are beginning to abandon ship. First up is Brad Silverberg, who spearheaded the Windows 95 and Internet Explorer product launches. Silverberg is leaving Microsoft after nine years of service so that he can spend time with his family and pursue personal interests. Silverberg had earlier taken a two-year sabbatical before returning to help advise president Steve Ballmer.
Also exiting is Rob Bennett, the director of marketing for the Consumer Windows and commerce groups. Bennett, who worked at Microsoft for eight years, will join a smaller startup company next month after a few weeks off. Like Silverberg, Bennett worked on the Windows 95 and IE projects.
What do these two people have in common you ask? Well, both were involved in the internal struggle between the Windows 9x and NT groups. After numerous reorganizations, including a time during which the Windows 2000 team consumed the entire Windows 9x group, Microsoft has firmly placed its future in the hands of Jim Allchin and his Windows NT/2000 group. Silverberg opposed the original gyrations that placed his IE group under Allchin's control in 1997 and left on a sabbatical soon thereafter. When he returned to Microsoft, Silverberg began advising Ballmer about the company's consumer strategy and one of the first moves the company made was to get the Windows 9x team out of Windows 2000 and into a new Consumer Windows group. Bennett, meanwhile, was also a member of the Consumer Windows group that was, for a time, under the control of Allchin. Rumors continue about Microsoft's internal struggles and it is suspected that internal politics played a major part in both executives' decisions to leave the company

Victoria Ishimatsu Wins U.S. Title On 1-Meter
Dec. 18, 2013
Former USC diver Victoria Ishimatsu, an NCAA champion in 2012, won the women's 1-meter title at the USA Diving Winter National Championships on Tuesday (Dec. 17) in Austin, Texas.
Ishimatsu, who now competes for Trojan Dive Club after a multi-All-American career at USC that saw her earn conference diver of the year four straight years, came from behind to win her second career national title with 536.15 points over two lists. She was in fourth place, 15.6 points out of a first place, following the prelims. She was solid in the finals, scoring more than 50 points on four of her five dives, including 63.70 points on her front 2 ½ pike, to finish in first place.
"For 1-meter, it's usually a pretty close contest the whole time, so you're not really ever out of it. You just have to stay steady, and I think that was the key today. I was pretty happy with finals. Some parts were a little low, but my front 2 ½ was definitely the one that brought me up. I surprised myself with that one," said Ishimatsu, who also won a 1-meter national title back in 2008.
Ishimatsu's younger sister, Haley, is a junior on the Trojans and won an NCAA title on platform in 2013.

Genomics in the UK: Mapping the Social Science Landscape
- Michael Banner and
- Jonathan E Suk
© ESRC Genomics Network 2006
- Published: 15 August 2006
This paper has been prepared from the perspective of the ESRC Genomics Policy & Research Forum, which has the particular mandate of linking social science research on genomics with ongoing public and policy debates. It is intended as a contribution to discussions about the future agenda for social scientific analyses of genomics. Given its scope, this paper is necessarily painted with a broad brush. It is presented in the hope that it can serve both as a useful reference for those less familiar with the themes and foci of UK-based social science research about genomics and, for those more engaged in the field, as a foundation for discussions about the future social sciences agenda in this area. This paper has four parts. The first identifies the boundaries of the topic. It is suggested that the boundaries of genomics are properly regarded by social scientists as soft rather than hard, and as encompassing far more than genomics as narrowly understood. In the second part, the UK context for social science research is briefly described before proceeding to part three, which offers a survey of the major areas and patterns of research. This is organised by reference to the themes of globalisation, governance and regulation, and refers to 129 current or recently completed projects (surveyed during the winter of 2005) that address these themes. Part four proposes some appropriate areas for future research, drawing on and advancing what has been achieved thus far. Social scientific analyses of the nature and consequences of genomic science, it is claimed, have been crucially framed by the institutionalising of non-scientific considerations under the heading of ELSA/ELSI (Ethical, Legal and Social Aspects/Implications). It is suggested that an understanding of the limitations and consequences of this framing provides a vital starting point in considering future research agendas.

What is it with this sex-and-meetings trend this morning? I just ran across this article on Yahoo News about a poll that found some UK workers scheduling fake meetings on Friday afternoons so they could skip off to tryst with a significant other of some sort. From the article:
- A survey of 167 companies revealed a growing trend of so-called "me me meetings," out-of-office meetings used to cover a more personal encounter.
The poll, by Genesys Conferencing, showed 81 percent of office workers admitted arranging meetings to fit in with personal activities.
It also showed that over half of their colleagues were suspicious of the motives behind the meetings for which many of their workmates left the office.
While most said they scheduled a "me me meeting" to take off for an early start on the weekend, "the survey also showed Friday afternoons were the best for meeting lovers or to go shopping. Monday mornings were the most popular time for scheduling a meeting to mask looking after the children and Wednesdays were the preferred time for job interviews."
Go figure.

New enforcement regime for BBC fair trading commitment
BBC Governors conclusions (13 pages, PDF) on changes to be made from February 2006 to the complaints process under the BBC's fair trading commitment. The new regime would involve a separation between complaints to the BBC's Head of Fair Trading, handled by the BBC's management, and appeals against the response to complaints from the BBC's management, which would be handled by the Governance Unit and in which the BBC's management would be treated as a party to the dispute.
