Chicken Saltimbocca
I call this "jump in your mouth" chicken, since that's the meaning of Salta-in-bocca! It has jumped into quite a few mouths since I started cooking it. This low-fat version is as delicious as the full-fat one since it's flavored with fresh sage and prosciutto and it has become a favorite among private chef clients.
Serves 4
2 thin slices of prosciutto, trimmed of excess fat
8 chicken cutlets, about 1 pound
8 large leaves of fresh sage, stems removed
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup non-fat, reduced sodium chicken stock
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Place one half a slice of prosciutto along one side of each of the chicken cutlet slices, and top with a sage leaf. Fold the chicken over to cover the prosciutto and sage. Pound along the edge to seal or secure with toothpick. Place the flour, salt, and pepper on a plate and mix with a spoon. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture.
Heat half the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add half the chicken and cook for one minute, turning once until both sides are golden-brown, the chicken does not need to be cooked through at this point. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining olive oil and chicken and remove chicken to a plate.
Add white wine to the pan you used to cook the chicken and bring to a boil, over medium heat while scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce the liquid to about one-half, then add chicken broth. Return the chicken to the pan and cook an additional 5 to 6 minutes until the liquid reduces by a third and the chicken is cooked through. Stir in the butter and serve immediately.

DULAC, La. (CBS NEWS) – Shrimping season opened Monday off Louisiana, and fishermen can't get over what they're finding in the nets. From Texas to North Carolina, fishermen have been catching giant shrimp, big enough to stretch across a 12-inch dinner plate.
Shrimp captain James Mason has fished off of Louisiana's coast for 44 years. But he had never caught an Asian tiger prawn until last April, when he netted seven in one month. "I didn't know what to think," Mason said. "We dumped the net and that popped out on top, and I said, 'My god, what a big old shrimp.'"
Mason has sold a few for top dollar — $8 each. "That's the most expensive shrimp I've ever sold in my life," he said. If Mason could sell every shrimp for $8, he wouldn't be shrimping for very long "No, you could retire real quick, real quick."
The Asian tiger prawn, native to the western Pacific, is edible, but worrisome — an invasive species in waters off the southeastern United States. The U.S. Geological Survey says that they may have escaped from Caribbean aqua-culture farms, or from the water tanks of passing ships. The first few were spotted in 2005. But between 2010 and 2011, the number caught off the Gulf and Atlantic coasts spiked from 32 to 569.
The size is astounding, but the arrival of the creatures gives even a seafood seller pause. "That's the worrisome part," said fourth-generation seafood wholesaler Kim Chauvin, "because you're wondering what the feeding part is. You're going, 'Wow, how much does it eat in one day?'"
Asian tiger prawns feed on crabs, mollusks and smaller shrimp. And each female can produce 1.5 million eggs a year.
Chauvin and some marine ecologists worry that the prawns could eat through native habitats. "It's the unknown, the fear of the unknown," Chauvin said, "because in our industry, you need to know what's going on all the time, just for the ecosystem."

Political divisions in Central and Eastern Europe were dramatically changing during the historical course of the region. Ukraine is one of the striking examples. If we take the current territory of the country and draw all the historical border lines between empires, it would be cut into many pieces. Even more striking phenomenon is that these old borders sometimes reappear on the maps of electoral returns in Ukraine. The same patterns are revealed in other countries, for example, in Poland (Zarycki, 2015; Grosfeld & Zhuravskaya, 2015), Romania (Haydukiewicz, 2011), Check and Slovak Republics (Voda & Pink, 2015; Simon, 2015). The research question emerges, why and how these borders are framing current political views in Ukraine.
One hypothesis is that it is due to the persistence of cultural heritage of empires as a result of the specific role of such social institutions as family, church, and school. This is supported by works on Polish electoral geography and also by Leonid Pesakhin (2013) research on legacies of Austro-Hungarian and Russian empires in their borderlands in contemporary Ukraine. The second hypothesis is going further and suggests that issues important for specific regions in previous historical times are also part of the discourse and political rhetoric in contemporary times. For instance, peripheral location of Ukraine frames political views not only on foreign policy but also on domestic social, economic, and political issues. Moreover, historical heritage and myths accompanied by regional identity provide opportunities for political mobilization on the basis of different narratives about past, current, and future of the country. These narratives are competing with each other during the course of the history and are produced not only by regional actors but also by external powers. The purpose of this paper is to show through the electoral geography of Ukraine after the independence in 1991 where and how historical borders appear on electoral maps and what kind of political narratives they are demarcating. Historical persistence and change of these narratives are also under our attention.
For these purposes, the first task was to determine case studies and map all the cases where historical borders or current administrative boundaries appeared on electoral maps of Ukraine after 1991. Administrative divisions were taken into consideration because they persisted from the Soviet times and also produce new identities and create visible limits for political mobilization and imagined narratives. It makes the situation more complicated because very often historical borders do not correspond with current administrative and consequently several political narratives and identities could compete between each other or be politically mobilized at the same time. To analyze this issue in more details the case study of Kremenets district of Ternopil oblast of Ukraine was chosen. This case is interesting because this district is part of historical Volhynia, but now it is a part of Ternopil region, which, despite this Kremenets area, is historical Galicia. Moreover, it is a line between Austria-Hungarian and Russian empires and between the Soviet Union and interwar Poland. The research is based on a survey and in-depth interviews with the inhabitants of Kremenets district. The composition of the sample is of different age groups to track changes in the narratives building: the older generation with a memory of Polish times, the middle generation with a strong memory of Soviet times, and a young generation with memory-building in independent Ukraine. The results will be presented at the conference. In addition, we are going to investigate how young generation use social networking sites and how groups and public pages created where are geographically bounded. Moreover, it opens a question how the use of social networking sites is eliminating or help to persist influence of historical borders and administrative boundaries.
The final point of the paper is to put analyzed case study into a wider framework of Ukraine. Multiscale nature of the geographical place and multiple identities are crucial here. However, it is worth to admit that after the independence multiple regional discourses about the future of the country started to compete with each other. The history of electoral returns shows us how influential some of these discourses were. Such events as the conflict in the East of the country also dramatically changed the electoral landscape. However, such events just create new agenda to attach political mobilization campaign, while the same spatial frameworks are used. The paper accentuates the importance of long-lasting spatial arrangements of Ukrainian politics.

The effectiveness of predictive capabilities in improving health outcomes starts with understanding where we can effectively apply these new and powerful technologies.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 31, 2014
Atlanta-based Jvion, a leader in clinical predictive algorithms and machine learning, released their top three lessons in predictive population health analytics as part of an ongoing series dedicated to understanding and applying predictive analytics in healthcare. Ritesh Sharma, Jvion COO, commented, "it is critical that we work together as an industry to understand the impact of and potential within predictive analytics. There is a lot of information out there and a good portion of it is conflicting or confusing. The effectiveness of predictive capabilities in improving health outcomes starts with understanding where we can effectively apply these new and powerful technologies. When applied right, predictive analytics empower hospitals to proactively do a lot of things."
Top Three Lessons - Summary Findings
Why focus on population health?
Population health initiatives have the overarching goal of targeting specific at risk populations to apply low cost interventions across the care continuum. New value-based payment models and systems like accountable care organizations are forcing many providers to rethink their approach to prevention and evaluate the effectiveness of predictive technologies in targeting specific, high and rising-risk segments of the community.
What role do predictive analytics play in population health?
There are three types of population health solutions in the market: first, traditional analytic solutions (retrospective data analysis); second, Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) based predictive analytics; and third, (new) Machine Learning algorithm powered solutions. Traditional analytic solutions involve retrospective data analysis, benchmarks, and trending and are primarily focused on looking back in time to understand how things worked in the past. The problem with this approach is that it only helps maintain a scorecard; it does not provide enough actionable information for organizations to proactively plan and change future results.
The other two forms of population health solutions are predictive: EDW and Machine Learning. EDW based solutions compile large amounts of data into a single data warehouse. This data is then consolidated and analyzed for patterns that lead to predictive insights. Machine Learning based solutions start by building models and clusters, and analyzing individual risk levels for all patients across a population. This individual-level risk is then aggregated and stratified into risk cohorts that can be targeted for specific interventions.
Feedback and findings suggest that Machine Learning solutions are better suited for the healthcare industry because they tend to deliver more detailed and more accurate results that don't require a heavy investment in an EDW. The time it takes to deliver value is also significantly different. EDW solutions take a minimum of 18-24 months to stand up whereas Machine Learning solutions can start to deliver outputs in weeks. Additionally, the more advanced Machine Learning solutions currently available are able to use publically and readily available data elements to quickly stratify risk and define cohorts at accuracy levels that are much higher than earlier generation models.
How do you articulate the Return on Investment (ROI) for these solutions?
The ROI for a predictive analytic solution can seem a little "fuzzy" because it is about cost avoidance. The abstracted benefits of population health initiatives are well known. Employers benefit from lower absenteeism and injury rates, and the subsequent increase in productivity. Taxpayers benefit by lowering the number of chronic conditions treated through the Medicare and Medicaid systems. And communities benefit from the overall strengthening of the economy and associated influx of federal investment/benefits.
For individual hospitals, the numbers can get a little blurry and slippery if they are not already proactively managing population health. However, with risk-based and value-based contracting practices becoming more prevalent across payors, population health initiative ROI becomes much more straightforward and concrete for hospitals. In addition, findings suggest that predictive analytics actually enable better ROI measures. This is because they can quickly and comprehensively analyze historical data to determine the dollars saved if preventative measures were applied based on predicted risk insights. Using this approach, a hospital can assign a hard dollar ROI not only to population health overall, but down to a specific disease and subset of a risk stratified cohort.

We've talked a bit about Spoon's anticipated seventh album Transference, the band's followup to 2007's Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga: You've seen the 11-song tracklist, heard some of its sounds via earlier live and later studio takes, and may have watched a teaser. Puzzles have multiple pieces… This morning we're officially giving you (and everyone else) the first look at the plush Transference album art. There's a lot going on in it, even though there's not a lot going on in it. It's in the eyes. The posture. The cropped woman to the right. Etc. But mostly it's in the eyes.
UPDATE: Yes, the photo was taken by William Eggleston … in Sumner, Mississippi in 1970.
Transference is out 1/19 in North America via Merge and 1/18 in Europe via Anti-.
Single "Written In Reverse" is out digitally tomorrow.

A few weeks ago I had a day with nothing going on (Hallelujah! How often does that happen?!), so I pulled out a whole bunch of craft supplies and spent the day crafting with my kids. My five year old started out grumpy but was soon singing, a sure sign of happiness, as we painted these fun DIY painted Trick or Treat Bags. They are quick and easy and a perfect kids craft for Halloween:
Now I know I said this was a kids craft, but I painted those two. Mama has to have fun too doesn't she?!
Here's the one my 8 year old painted. He's SO proud of it!
DIY Painted Trick or Treat Bags:
Supplies Needed:
- Plain bags (I found these at Hobby Lobby. I imagine other craft stores or dollar stores will have them as well.)
- Americana Multi Surface Paint
- Paint Brush/Dauber
- Empty cereal box
There's really not a lot of instructions for these since you can paint them however you want, but here's a few tips:
- I cut out a piece of cereal box and slipped it inside to prevent the paint from seeping.
- I used the Americana Multi Surface paint and it worked like a charm.
- To make the polkadots I simply daubed the paint with a little paint dauber. SO easy. Perfect for kids to do.
Other ideas:
Use the Americana glow in the dark paint on top of your design to make this extra fun. How about a glow in the dark ghost:
Really, just get creative. Or even better, let your kids get creative. They're going to love this project!

Even if you're writing tests for your software (which many don't), you're probably doing it wrong.
Software testing is all too often an afterthought and the tests that are written are usually either completely ineffective, or so fragile that the slightest change in the system will cause widespread failures in the test suite which leads to "build nonchalance"; the situation where a build failure is not taken seriously because it happens so frequently.
Overwhelmingly the problem is not an issue of the attitude toward testing, but rather a more basic lack of understanding of how to write effective and efficient software tests.
This is a big topic. Too big for a blog post so we've prepared a more detailed, in-depth set of guidelines to help software engineers make the right decisions when it comes to testing.
The Tao of Testing is a guidebook for software engineers which aims to set the direction on the most effective way to test software both in a theoretical context and with practical example of how to write the code for tests.

I received my Novice Class Amateur Radio License in November of 1954 at the age of 14. Six months later I upgraded to Conditional Class (General class by volunteer examiner) from WNØYSE to WØYSE. I became an Extra Class in 1960.
At age 13 I built my first receiver, a 2 tube regenerative set with plug-in coils for 80, 40, and 20 meters from junk parts under the supervision of an electronics teacher, Andrew G. Woolfries, wØdsp (SK). Click on his name to see what he contributed as one of the early radio broadcasters and experimenters at Iowa State (Use ctrl+F and type in his name to find him on that page). After I got my novice license, Andy helped me build a two tube CW transmitter from the ARRL Handbook to complete my first station. It had a 6AG7 crystal oscillator and a 6L6 amplifier. Since then I have built several others, including a 600 watt PEP linear from junk parts salvaged from some obsolete medical equipment. I am now content to be an "appliance" operator for the most part. However, since we are soon to have access to 472-479 kHz, I will probably have to build a CW transmitter from scratch for that band. Retirement has afforded me the time I will need to do that. Check out my "600 meter" page.

Natural Cancer Cure: The Plant That Destroys 98% Of The Cancer Cells In 16 Hours
Since it is one of the most deadly diseases,scientists are constantly trying to find products that will finally put an end to this disease,and one of them is this herb that for only 16 hours can kill even 98% of the cancer cells.
In fact, according to a research that has been published in "Life Science",the herb "Sweet wormwood" or "Artemisia Annua",which literally translated to English means "sweet wormwood" has been used in Chinese medicine and it can kill 98% of the cells of breast cancer in less than 16 hours.
The herb by itself reduces 28 percent of the breast cancer cells,but in combination with iron,"Artemisia Annua" successfully "destroys" the cancer almost completely,while in the healthy breast cells no impact was observed from this herb.The herb in the past has been used as a powerful tool against malaria,but now it's proven that this herb is effective against cancer also.
"Our results demonstrate that the "Sweet wormwood" prevents " E2F1 " which is an important factor in the destruction of the cell cycle of the cancer cells of the breast which is important to control the growth of the reproductive cancer cells," was stated in the conclusion of the research conducted in laboratories for cancer at the University of California.
Iron precipitates in cancer cells with specific receptors that help in the division of the cell.Normal cells probably also have these receptors,but cancer cells have them in larger quantities and therefore can be targeted with a combination of iron and the "Sweet wormwood".
So far, numerous experiments have been conducted proving that the "Sweet wormwood" can effectively eliminate the disease in the presence of iron,and this extract has been used in China for thousands of years as a cure for malaria.
The malaria parasite can not live in the presence of the "Sweet wormwood" and the iron,and bio-engineers Henry Lai and Narendra Singh of the University of Washington were the first scientists who discovered this.
In their research has been shown that the cancerous cells are experiencing apoptosis or self-destruction,and so far was difficult to obtain this extract on favorable prices,but with the growing interest in this plant,the price could become more acceptable.
The french drugmaker company "Sanofi" said it is expected that the production of 50 to 60 tons of "Sweet wormwood" each year,hopefully will meet the demand of the world market. source: Before its news.
Wormwood is a Chinese herb that is thousands of years old that has applications for malaria and cancer treatment. It is safe, easy to use, affordable, and has great promise in the treatment of cancer. Cancer cells and bacteria accumulate iron far more than normal cells. Artemisinin works in the presence of iron to create free radicals that kill cells that hoard iron. Leukemia cells concentrate iron 1000 times normal lymphocytes and breast cancer concentrates iron 15 times a normal breast cell.
There are three forms of wormwood extract: artemisinin, artsunate, and artemether. It can be given either orally or by rectal suppository and should be pulsed with several days on and several off if taken by mouth because of intestinal tolerance. It is non-toxic and has been used on over 4000 patients without problems. youtube.
'Cancer cells simply melt away': Miracle drug amazes Australian researchers after lengthy trials
Cancer patients are finally catching a break, as Australian researchers have tested a miracle drug that leads to big improvement in a majority of cases, and total recovery in some. The drug targets a specific protein that helps cancer cells survive. The Melbourne-based trial took place over four years and tested 116 patients. It was shown by researchers at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre that the drug Venetoclax can greatly reduce cancer blood cells.
Positive results were seen in 79 percent of cases involving patients suffering from chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Some patients who had previously undergone treatment were left as good as new after agreeing to the new pill trials. This is indeed historic news, as it marks the first trial of a medicine that is the result of three decades of research. "Here we are a bit under 30 years later in collaboration with WEHI and pharmaceutical companies here and in the US having proved that's achievable," head of haemotology, Professor John Seymour, told the Sydney Morning Herald.

Could weight-loss supplements cause CANCER? Chromium 'turns carcinogenic when it enters the body's cells'
Long-term use of nutritional chromium supplements may lead to an increased risk of cancer, scientists reveal.
Chromium is a trace mineral involved the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
The mineral is often found in weight loss and body building supplements.
However, chromium can also take on a carcinogenic form, which can increase the risk of cancer.
The carcinogenic form gained notoriety in the Julia Roberts movie Erin Brockovich, which linked a cluster of illnesses – including cancer – to its presence in a California town's drinking water.
And now, a new Australian study found that chromium is partially converted into the carcinogenic form – called hexavalent chromium – when it enters cells.
The findings raise health concerns over the extended use of nutritional chromium supplements.

Most cases of cancer are down to unhealthy lives, rather than bad genes, doctors said last night. They said that factors in the world around us, from diet, to sunlight, cigarettes and disease, play a far bigger role in fuelling cancer than dodgy DNA. Up 90 per cent of cancer cases would be wiped up if all these triggers could be avoided. Dr Emma Smith, of Cancer Research UK, said: 'Healthy habits like not smoking, keeping a healthy weight, eating a healthy diet and cutting back on alcohol are not a guarantee against cancer, they do dramatically reduce the risk of developing the disease.'
While the advice may not seem surprising, scientists are divided about how much cancer is caused by what we do and how much is unavoidable. The controversy was stoked a year ago by research that claimed that most cases are caused by errors in DNA that are generated at random as the body ages and its cells divide. The researchers said this meant that most cases of cancer were down to 'bad luck', rather than an unhealthy lifestyle. It said that for or two out of three cancer victims, the cumulative effect of random mistakes in genes is to blame for the disease rather than poor choices about how they lived their lives or 'chose' their parents.

Is Email Marketing Dead? Not if you consider how many of us continue to receive, read and react to our emails from company's we have requested to receive information (ie not spam).
Companies like Groupon and LivingSocial, for example, use email marketing every day to promote their daily deals. But other, smaller businesses use emails, too, to communicate what is happening in their business, to provide updates in a particular industry or to solicit information in the forms of surveys.
In fact, email marketing is hardly dead – it's a thriving and inexpensive marketing vehicle that can help drive business, generate goodwill, support a social media strategy and increase brand awareness. It is not a marketing tool we should abandon but there are ways in which you can make an email marketing campaign better. We found this post that lists the top 12 things to do or consider when developing an email newsletter for your business:
- You need a clear and simple message
- Understand your target market
- A clean and creative design
- You need a call to action
- There needs to be purpose to the email
- You need to measure it success
- Make sure your logo is visible
- Personalize the email
- Catchy headlines
- Keep away from purchasing email lists
- Analyze each campaign and the effectiveness of the message
- And last but not least it needs to be useful
Read the blog post to get more specifics on each of the dozen points – it's a really good reminder of what we should think about when developing content and to whom the newsletter should be sent.
When Should You Send Your Emails?
Studies continue to show Thursdays are the best days to send out an email with Tuesdays being the best "open" day of the week. This hasn't veered much over the years so it's a good rule of thumb to consider the day of the week that you want to send your emails out depending on your goal. Obviously if something is breaking news and you want to send it out on a Monday, be thoughtful of your email subject line and send it on Monday. There are no hard and fast rules – just things to consider.
How to Start with an Email Marketing Campaign
Many companies exist solely to help you with designing and sending out your emails. The ones most companies use include Constant Contact, MailChimp and MadMimi although many companies use their own internal email systems, too. Keep in mind that all emails must provide an opportunity to unsubscribe according to CAN-SPAM rules. Each of these services make designing, uploading images and email lists, managing your emails and sending them a breeze. You also can include share buttons to promote your social media sites and your website which makes email marketing that much stronger as a marketing tool.
Is email marketing dead? No way. Email marketing is a fast, easy, inexpensive marketing tool that should be part of your marketing toolkit.

Ho ho, it's nearly Christmas at last and just five short sleeps to Santa! A combination of my husband's Christmas MADNESS and my own psychotic planning gene saw us book a full bells-and-whistles visit to Santa in another part of the country FOUR WHOLE MONTHS ago.
It seemed like a great idea at the time. Story time with Mrs Claus. A train ride into the woods to the elf's house. A Christmas singalong. A visit with the big man himself. A lovely hot chocolate with marshmallows to top it all off. It was going to be magical! A Christmas memory for the three of us to treasure. So excited were we, we even debated bringing the grandparents along for the spirit of it all. But then we knocked that idea on the head because grandparents = overexcitement (not the child's) = too high expectations = grief for me.
The day rolled around earlier this week. Bad, bad start to the day. The husband was sick, but not bed sick just miserable sick. Pip was cranky and had a touch of diarrhoea. But we were feckin going anyway. I piled the moany men in the car and off we went.
90 minutes later, with both boys napped and well rested, we pulled up at a magical winter wonderland. It was great really. Gorgeously presented place, super fun and friendly elves with cute names admiring the child and helping us out. Just one problem though. The toddler said no.
We had to wait ten minutes before our session began.
Toddler says no.
A tantrum was thrown.
Then we all shuffled into Mrs Claus' living room for stories. The children gathered on cushions on the floor while the adults stood at the edges (at least 5:1 adults to children. Others obviously went with the grandparents plan), soaking up the delight and wonderment of the little faces. Except of course for our little Pip who stood in the middle of the room shouting "no, no, no, no, no", then lay down on the floor and did some angry crying, and finally tried to make his escape at the nearest exit.
So we were the parents of "that child", who was ruining it for everyone else. We left when the tut-tutting started and waited outside until choo-choo time instead.
When the train finally arrived, of course we were last on because we were waiting in a holding pen for disruptive families while the good little story listeners got first dibs. There was nearly an incident when we realised that we might have to sit separately from each other and I could feel a hot temper creep up into T's body who was just about to lose it, but then a kind father of two little excited girls – who obviously saw it too – made his wife move up in one of the carriages and let us in with them. Thank you kind man.
The train was a huge success at least with Pip enjoying both the ride and the very authentic "choo-choo" whistle. But things turned nasty again when we got shepherded into the elf's den to sing songs while we waited for our turn with Santa.
Toddler says no.
He was like an escaped convict running from door to door trying all of the handles to see if he could get out and shouting his head off. I tried to distract him by letting one of the elves paint a rudolph face on me. As Julia Roberts would say "BIG mistake. HUGE". He freaked out and looked at me like his mother had been stolen and replaced with an evil witch. That was enough. I grabbed an elf, got her to bump us up to the top of the queue so we could get the flock out of there and in we went to Santa.
He was a well trained, clever Santa indeed. Recognising the danger signs of an irritated toddler, he had a little chat – which was greeted with some silent staring – and then thrust a trio of miniature cars into the child's hand. Excellent idea.
Santa huddled us into a photo. Snap, snap. Job done. Off we went. Withered.
Moral of the story: don't be foisting your child-like, nostalgic Christmas excitement on the uninterested, too-young-to-care child. Magical it was not.
Maybe next year though. Or the year after…

Mandatory ECDIS could cut groundings by one-third
Making Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS) mandatory on board ships would cut the number of groundings by a third, indicates to a study carried out by DNV.
Though the effectiveness of ECDIS has been documented in previous studies, there have been doubts about the coverage of the electronic nautical charts on which ECDIS performance depends.
In preparation for the next meeting of IMO's committee on Safety of Navigation, DNV's researchers were asked by Denmark, Finland Norway and Sweden to assess the adequacy of the electronic nautical chart coverage.
The main finding of the DNV study is that the coverage of electronic charts in coastal waters is already very good and improving:
For many ship types, collision is the dominant risk, while grounding is second. In a previous study DNV has documented that ECDIS is a preventive measure, reducing the probability of grounding by well above one third when electronic nautical charts are available.
The motivation for the current study has been to address the common industry perception that the lack of global electronic nautical chart coverage is diluting ECDIS's risk reducing potential. This perception is considered one of the major obstacles faced by advocates of a mandatory ECDIS carriage requirement.
"These results support that an Electronic Chart Display and Information System should be implemented as a mandatory requirement for most ships," comments DNV's CEO Henrik O. Madsen. "Besides, the more ships that install such equipment, the more electronic charts are likely to be produced."

I'm going to have to do this review different than I've been. Usually I go heavy on the spoilers for you,
lazy non-reading bums fair readers, but this issue was MAJOR so this time I'll keep my spoilers minor or non-existent if I can. Often we get promised or it's speculated that a particular issue is going to be a key issue but usually, from my vantage, it's mostly bullshit claims. Good issues, sure. Great? Hell yeah. Key… not so much and not in a while. I'm going to go on record now and say there was probably only 2 key issues since #100. 125 when All Out War ended and 144 when Alpha (or her people) took out a good number of fan favorites off page and then stuck their heads on pikes to mark the border of her land.
156 was speculated to be key and whoever said that was clearly in the know. This issue is not to be missed. A MUST READ for all fans of the series. MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR Stuff and Thangs go down in this one and for me, it was completely from left field. Sure we've pondered the possibility of this issue's twist but IT REALLY HAPPENED. There's no going back now. No, Rick's not dead and Kirkman has said many times this is Carl's story so breath easy, it's not that kind of twist (though I can definitely see the events of this issue as the first step toward the former). The issue mainly revolves around Negan and it 100% ties into things we've been learning in the currently running Image+ side-story, "Here's Negan" but that's about all I can tell you. That and HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT!!!! Avoid synopsis' of this issue, avoid the wikias, AVOID ALL THE THINGS… except Geeks of the Round, of course, cuz we know how ta be respectful.
In the aftermath of 156 expect another six issues or more of gripping reading. If this issue doesn't set off the biggest series of events in Walking Dead history, if the bodies do not pile up as a result… well, I may have to give up reading because that would mean Kirkman and Co. have no clue what they are doing. Lucky for us, they do. Get ready for some serious shit in the months to come.

We are about to embark on another New Year!! WhooHoo to that!
A New Year and adding on a new little face to these fun and goofy pictures.
(they love their pretend glasses, i mean LOVE)
Here's to 2012... I feel the same as I did last New Years and have the same message,
2011 post: Happy New Year
** However, I would like to add on more "balance" or "a better juggling act" in 2012.
I hope to find the right balance for all the things that I love.
I'm honored to have been presented with the:
Given by to me by: The Floyd Boys
a new fav too... (thanks Lesley!!)
Now, you might be wondering what the heck is a Liebster Blog Award. I had no idea? It originated in Germany and recognizes up-and-coming bloggers. It is meant to showcase those who have fewer than 200 followers. (Liebster means " favorite" or "dearest" in German) In the spirit of pay-it-forward... I have picked 4 of my favorite blogs to share from 2011. (and I have so many more, but not enough time)
This was a no brainer. I really, really enjoy this blog! Kate is so fun and creative and has extraordinary decorating taste and awesome DIY tutorials, and adds a little bit of fun family life in between. And she's from my my old neck of the woods, my hometown in Ohio, so that's a bonus and a rare one.
This has been one of my steady follows for some time now. Jenn is sweet, cute, stylish and a newer mom and has a neat creative little website/blog design company called Chirp & Bloom (cute name!) And she's from our former temporary home state of Florida.
Now I didn't follow this award by the book (this blog has a lot more than 200 followers) but it's a wonderful DIY cratfty blog that was a favorite for a long time. It looks as though Tanya has been a little busy but her "tutorial" link is great and has some awesome ideas!! I tried this one out last year Eyelit Trim Belt. It was super easy and added a cute accessory to some of my Blah shirts.
Nicole is a young fun loving spirited blogger and runner. I suppose I live a tad bit vicariously through her young life. She blogs about anything and everything and running too. She was also a great brain to pick when we were moving to CO. She used to attend school here and had wonderful advise to give about the areas. We actually moved to one of the towns she raved about. Through blogs I have discovered once again just how small this world can be.
It seems that the blogs I enjoy are always changing and growing... it really depends on what's going on in my world. If I'm in a crafty mood then it's DIY and decor blogs, if I'm pregnant than I gravitate towards mom and pregnancy blogs. My taste is ever evolving and that's a good thing... broadening those old horizons of mine :)

My Depression Was the Worst It Has Ever Been During My Pregnancy
What is a time of joy for many women was my darkest hour.
"Eat a sandwich!"
My favorite pair of slouchy jeans, the ones that once needed a belt to stay up on my hips are suddenly tight around new curves. Dresses that used to hang now cling, and short skirts look suddenly suggestive. My leather skinnies don't zip. This is the whitest of white whines, I know. Bear with me.
Over the course of a few months, I've added a few pounds to my small frame by exercising less and staying up all night. That's fine. At its lowest, my weight invited comments from strangers. Mostly numerical guesses. "What do you weigh? 95 pounds?" someone would ask. Other times it was just a muffled "anorexic."
"Julie's just really healthy," friends used to say in my defense -- healthy being a euphemism for daily three mile runs and a diet completely free from indulgence save for alcohol. I've never been a starving skinny girl by any means, but you won't catch me eating birthday cake.
When I look in the mirror, I know the new weight looks better, but that doesn't make getting dressed in the morning any easier. My wardrobe is the product of occasional one-item splurges, big buys that take months to recover from financially. And so I'm not so quick to replace my expensive collection of too-tight clothing.
Instead, I wear what still fits and squeeze into what doesn't, regardless of how it looks. But I don't feel comfortable.
"Can I still wear this to work?" I ask Olivia, tugging at my pleated leather skirt. "Does it look too sexy?" I haven't learned how to dress for this body.
Pants that won't button are a universal call for weight loss; the before image in every late night diet drug informercial and exercise gimmick. Thin people aren't immune to feeling fat. Women of all sizes received the same cultural messages about weight growing up.
"I think most thin women, when they say they feel fat, they do feel fat," says body image researcher Renee Engeln-Maddox Ph.D, in YouBeauty's Why Thin Women Fat Talk. "Part of it is to recognize that feeling fat comes and goes in different contexts."
Still, when I try to discuss my size and express discomfort, I'm met with silent, concerned stares. I get that it's annoying and even insensitive for thin women complain about weight gain, but it's coming from the same insecurity that often strikes larger women. So it seems like all women deserve the same degree of understanding. Do you agree?

A few months ago I called the Number 10 Downing Street press office as I wanted to write a piece about Samantha Cameron's public role, or lack thereof. I introduced myself and asked the nice gentleman on the phone if the wife of the Prime Minister had an official diary of events detailing events she would be attending in some charitable or awareness raising capacity. As I wrote in my article at the time, he sounded a bit baffled, told me no-one had ever asked that before and said he'd call me back, which he never did. I surmised from this that she did not have one, other than the odd engagement for the launch of a new belt or handbag.
There was an interesting response from readers – some seemed outraged that I compared her to Michelle Obama, pointing out that she is not 'The First Lady of the UK' and therefore does not need to have any public role if she does not wish to. Some were keen to emphasise that she was a full-time mother to her children, and that should be enough. Some actually agreed with me (always a happy surprise). What was clear was that even though there was disagreement about what she should reasonably be expected to do, most people accepted the premise of the article: Sam Cam was nowhere to be seen.
Well, things have certainly changed since then, probably as a result of waning Conservative popularity and the scent of a general election in the high atmosphere – after all Dave always did say she was his 'secret weapon'. At the time, back in 2010, this seemed like just another glib, patronising posh-boy platitude of the kind at which he excels, but in fact, it may prove to be truer than he could have imagined.
Perhaps I am simply more attuned to Sam Cam's movements, or maybe she is getting more coverage in the press, but whatever it is, she is now firmly in public view like never before, with a wide range of carefully recorded, photographed and disseminated events including recently baking with her children for Comic Relief.
And now, her most high profile and important trip yet: a first solo foreign visit in which she travelled to Lebanon this week to spend time listening to Syrian refugees currently huddled there in the most awful circumstances.
She went in her capacity as a Save The Children ambassador, a role she has kept a fairly low profile about until now, and described her shock at the desperation she found. As the uprising continues in Syria, blood is split all over formerly quiet, suburban streets, and the humanitarian crisis grows.
Of course, when times are economically hard here in the UK, it is easy for us to get a kind of 'crisis fatigue' and switch off from the horrors going on all over the world at the same time. With Cyprus apparently on the brink of bankruptcy, and the threat of a triple-dip recession here at home, the Syrian situation is pushed down the agenda.
But nothing is more effective for re-focusing media attention than a high-profile visit – I am guilty of it here, right now, only writing about Syria in this instance within a piece about Samantha Cameron - but the reality of 24-hour news is that fresh angles become necessary as each day in this terrible saga seems to bleed chillingly, imperceptibly into the next.
Mrs Cameron was clearly deeply moved and upset, referring to children's lives as "smashed to pieces". She went on to say: "As a mother, it is horrifying to hear the harrowing stories from the children I met today. No child should ever experience what they have. With every day that passes, more children and parents are being killed, more innocent childhoods are being smashed to pieces."
This is strong and highly emotive language of the kind we have not heard before from her, and it makes a deep impression – you don't have to spend long reading about the innocent families caught in the cross-fire of what is fast becoming a civil war to feel profound distress, and naturally want to know how to help.
To that end, Save The Children has launched a campaign to help the children of Syria's 'lost generation' and there are opportunities to give on their website here. As for Sam Cam, she still isn't my first choice for a dinner party guest (nor I hers, no doubt), but I hope she keeps up this impressive, dynamic and important new agenda – she has an incredibly privileged platform and it would be awful to waste it.
It seems a little tasteless to talk of secret weapons in this context, but with Ed Miliband growing stronger by the day, Samantha Cameron may yet prove to be her husband's much needed and most effective defence system in the coming months. In fact, by traveling solo to Lebanon, leaving her smirking boiled ham of a husband behind, she is greatly improved in my eyes.

yes, that's plenty to be paranoid about cause you/he/she is being paid to NOTICE these things, not have another person finally admit it in court.
talk about a frivilous use of the court system
no, without this video screwup, she wouldn't have missed her medical appt, lost time at work or had to endure the stress of appearing in court.
the additional expense to the taxpayers for such nonsense is also unproductive ... yet, we seem to have plenty of $$$ to enact such BS ... so, please, tell us again how is this beneficial ??

you have a truly awful understanding of what the law is (and is NOT). john Paul zodeaux, where are you?!
JPZ would have said: "legislation is only evidence of the law. it is not the law, itself." basically, the law is whatever the people say it is. take the notion of jury nullification for example.
ultimately, it matters not what is on the books. if the "fat cats" on Capitol hill write up a bunch of crap that the people do not wish to abide, that does not make the people "law breakers". it means that the legislation is unlawful.
get your head straight and stop being such a troll.
Then you should have no problem with the police using camera drones to try to locate this guy who has murdered two cops.

It is alleged that he did...
Or do you have a surveillance photo from the parking garage?
Are you trying to scare people because that how it seems to me?
I know what the drones are the name does not scare me I probably know their capability's better than you. Are you trying to scare people because that how it seems to me?
it seems the pass-the-buck syndrome is alive and well in Washington.
There's new criticism of some of those red light cameras placed in Seattle. It's not coming from citizens, but from the City's traffic judges.
New documents obtained by the KING 5 Investigators show the city knows judges have been throwing cases out of court but has continued to issue tickets.
- snip -
Assistant city attorney Greg Narver says the city hasn't shut the cameras down because it believes the judges are wrong.
- snip -
After KING 5 began its investigation, the City Attorney's office said it has started working with the municipal court to get more consistent notification about these cases when they are dismissed. That way it can appeal the dismissal and have the case heard in superior court.
Of the 830 tickets challenged in Broward from July 2010 through May 2011, DeLuca and Traffic Hearings Officer Tom Wich upheld just 44 of them, the Sun-Sentinel reported.
Lawmakers nearly overturned the camera law last session after enacting it in 2010. But a Florida House bill that would have pulled the plug on the cameras was stalled in the Senate Community Affairs Committee by chairman Mike Bennett, R-Bradenton.
- snip -
State Rep. Richard Corcoran, R-New Port Richey, who carried the repeal measure and co-sponsored a bill to lengthen yellow lights, disputed the notion that the camera issue is settled at the Legislature or in the courts.
"The complete opposite is true. Cases in Arizona [corporate home of ATS] are being thrown out on the basis of the equal protection clause," Corcoran told Sunshine State News.
Pointing to "myriad complications" and a "lack of uniformity" in enforcement, the representative said the fact that lawmakers are looking at setting a statewide standard for timing yellow lights suggests "a complete breakdown" of the system.
In a court case that resulted in the dismissal of nearly 300 tickets in 2001, a former employee testified that Lockheed Martin IMS, which operated the San Diego system, regularly scouted intersections in some cities based on high traffic volume, not locations that were most accident-prone. Documents revealed that officials sought locations with steep gradients and short yellow-light times.
- snip --
They found that rear-endings had gone up nearly 15 percent after cameras were installed in seven cities, with injuries from such accidents up 24 percent.
Right-angle crashes declined by 24 percent, with injuries down nearly 16 percent.
proof please or is this more of your exaggerations ?
this guy who has murdered two cops.

Come see our top quality window treatments for yourself!
If you're browsing window coverings near Milpitas or San Jose, you
may have noticed that there are several different types of
residential window coverings available. So which one is right for you? Your choice of window treatment
will depend on your budget, style, and the needs of your indoor area.
Read on for some answers to frequently asked questions to help you make
the best decisions regarding your window coverings.
Which Window Treatment Type is Best for the Kitchen?
Kitchens are a special area of the home. They are used frequently at different
times throughout the day. In addition, they tend to get hotter than the
rest of the house when the stove or oven is in use. Finally, spills and
other accidents are common in the kitchen, so the best window treatment
for the area should be easy to clean. That's why window shutters
are a great option for the kitchen. They can be easily adjusted for more
or less natural light throughout the day, and they also allow for ventilation
while blocking the hot sun. If shutters aren't your preference,
try blinds. It's best to avoid window shades or drapes in the kitchen,
as they can absorb cooking splatters and become stained.
How Can I Use Window Treatments to Block Outside Noise?
In addition to blocking hot sunlight, certain window treatments can also
be used to keep your indoor area quiet. If you have a living space next
to a noisy outdoor area, consider choosing window treatments made of fabric.
For the greatest degree of sound blocking, you can even layer two types
of fabric. Start with a window shade mounted close to the window glass,
and then hang floor-length window drapes for an additional layer of sound
What's the Best Window Treatment for a Modern, Minimalist Look?
Clean lines are in right now; if you want to embrace this trend, take a
look at faux wood blinds, which offer a clean look with a natural texture.
Shades made of woven materials can also enhance a modern look by reducing
clutter in the window area.

Research In Temporal Urbanism
We encourage anyone who's discovered an animal to maintain him temporarily. It is significantly better and less irritating for a lost pet to remain at someone's home or residence than to spend a while at a shelter or pound where he is perhaps uncovered to viruses.
PET Ciências Naturais (Campus de Grajaú), criado em 2010. Focus on food selection with your veterinarian if your pet has any food allergic reactions or special wants. Please observe Pets Corner cannot capable of accept any animals for re-homing. PET Ciência da Computação ( ), criado em 2007.
When a veterinarian microchips your pet, a particular needle is used to put a small chip under the animal's pores and skin, typically between the shoulder blades. No anesthesia is required. Each chip, approximately the dimensions of a grain of rice, has its personal unique number that can be read by a scanner. Not like a collar or tags, which may be misplaced or removed, the chip stays securely in place and will last for the lifetime of your pet.
Monster Pet Supplies delivers dog food, cat food, pet equipment, medication and much more to a loyal customer base of greater than 50,000 pet owners. Puppies and canines eat and play Wednesday at the Tails of Rescue Thrift Retailer and Adoption Heart in Redding.
To assert a misplaced animal who's on the Montreal SPCA: Please come by our refuge between 1:00 pm and 9:00 pm together with your pet's photo and a veterinary document confirming his identity, to ensure that solely official house owners can come get an animal. These measures were launched to protect all animals from our stray part.
We often advocate that microchipping be executed when your pet is spayed or neutered. Nevertheless it does not should be performed on the time of … Read more..

Juliette Binoche
Celebrities Home / Entertainment Home
Consistently sought after by Europe's premier directors, French actress Juliette Binoche has amassed a stunning resume that includes a Best Supporting Oscar for "The English Patient" in 1996. With no concern for the idea of celebrity or recognition, it is the work that most interests her – even turning down the Dr. Sattler role in Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" to make "Blue," the first in the internationally acclaimed trilogy by Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Kieslowski.
Born in Paris in 1964, her parents – both involved in the arts – divorced four years later. Juliette spent most of her formative years away at a boarding school. It was during this time when she became attracted to theater. By 18, she was studying acting at the National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts of Paris. In just a short period, it was clear Juliette was going to be a major figure in both French theater and film. Her first English language picture, "The Unbearable Lightness of Being," garnered worldwide praise for her performance. Now 25, and at a pivotal point in her career, Juliette decided to remain in France and work there.
In the early 90s, Juliette worked the London stage for a time and earned a Golden Globe nomination for "Blue" in 1993. The trilogy was completed by 1994 and Juliette took time out to begin raising her family. Her Oscar came two years later, one of nine for "The English Patient." In 2000, she worked alongside Johnny Depp in "Chocolat" as well as assuming the lead role in "Code Unknown" for the great Austrian director Michael Haneke. The pair teamed up again in "Cache" in 2005, an enormously successful film on both sides of the Atlantic. She continues to work both the stage and screen with continued enthusiasm, exploration, and ultimately, great triumph. Her appearance in the American comedy "Dan in Real Life" will hopefully alert new audiences to this major talent, and who may be surprised to find Juliette in her 40s – she seems to grow in attractiveness as she ages. Maybe it's just aging gracefully.

Juliette on the Screen
Juliette has worked with some of film's best contemporary directors: Michael Haneke ("Code Unknown," "Cache"), Anthony Minghella ("The English Patient," "Breaking and Entering"), John Boorman ("In My Country"), Abel Ferrara ("Mary"), Harold Pinter (the play "Betrayal"), Chantal Ackerman ("A Couch in New York"), Lasse Hallstrom ("Chocolat"), Krzysztof Kieslowski (Three Colors Trilogy), Philip Kaufman ("The Unbearable Lightness of Being"), and last but certainly not least, Jean-Luc Godard ("Hail Mary"). Among these, "Code Unknown" was tailored for Juliette (she approached director Haneke to work with him) and is highly recommended. Juliette also has stated that her dream director she has yet to work with is Woody Allen.
Juliette Says
On Hollywood:
"As a system, I think it's dangerous in art. The idea is to break the system."
On celebrity:
"Being a famous actress may give you a sense of being important, but believe me, it's just an illusion."
On narcissism:
"I think you can become a prisoner of your own image."

Multi-Sided Platforms
Overview — Research in multi-sided platforms (MSPs) studies how payment networks bring together cardholders and retailers, shopping malls bring together shoppers and retailers, and video game systems bring together gamers and game developers. Andrei Hagiu and Julian Wright propose a new definition of MSPs that aims to capture what makes eBay, shopping malls, Yellow Pages directories, and dating websites different from "regular" firms such as a bakery or car dealership, as well as how to characterize less clear-cut examples. They also discuss the economic trade-offs that determine where organizations choose to place themselves on the continuum between MSPs and resellers, or between MSPs and input suppliers. Key concepts include:
- Hagiu and Wright define a MSP to be an organization that creates value primarily by enabling direct interactions between at least two distinct types of affiliated customers. Each of the italicized terms is a potential point of difference with existing definitions, with important implications for how organizations make strategic decisions.
- Contrary to most existing definitions, cross-group network effects or indirect network effects are neither necessary nor sufficient for an organization to be a MSP. Existing definitions based on network effects are both under- and over-inclusive.
- By requiring that MSPs enable direct interactions, the authors clarify what distinguishes MSPs from resellers such as grocery stores and retailers. By requiring that multiple customer types be affiliated, they also clarify what distinguishes MSPs from input suppliers.
- The extent to which organizations, especially firms, enable direct interactions is often a decision variable: they can choose where to position themselves on the continuum between re-sellers and MSPs.
- Among policy implications, this definition of MSP should help competition and regulatory authorities. Authorities have taken mixed approaches in settings identified as two-sided markets or MSPs, sometimes considering both sides of the businesses together and at other times just focusing on one side and wrongly ignoring the other.
- This definition should also give policymakers and courts a firmer basis for deciding the extent to which a business is a MSP.
Author Abstract
The economics of two-sided markets or multi-sided platforms has emerged over the past decade as one of the most active areas of research in economics and strategy. The literature has constantly struggled, however, with a lack of agreement on a proper definition: for instance, some existing definitions imply that retail firms such as grocers, supermarkets and department stores are multi-sided platforms (MSPs). We propose a definition which provides a more precise notion of MSPs by requiring that they enable direct interactions between the multiple customer types which are affiliated to them. Several important implications of this new definition are derived. First, cross-group network effects are neither necessary nor sufficient for an organization to be a MSP. Second, our definition emphasizes the difference between MSPs and alternative forms of intermediation such as "resellers" which take control over the interactions between the various sides, or input suppliers which have only one customer group affiliated as opposed to multiple. We discuss a number of examples that illustrate the insights that can be derived by applying our definition. Third, we point to the economic considerations that determine where firms choose to position themselves on the continuum between MSPs and resellers, or MSPs and input suppliers.

Car Show
Posted on October 18th 2009 under Uncategorized
Fall arrived last night and left us with some bright blue beautiful skies for the Amelia Cruizers car show today. Centre Street was closed to traffic all day today while every space was taken with an exhibition vehicle. There was even a gull-winged Delorean. I think they missed their chance for a great photo op when they didn't park it in front of the clock tower on the courthouse. Of course, without Michael J. Fox, I'm not sure how many would have gotten the Back to the Future reference. Nice show.

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Most Merciful
Now that the world has not ended, and we have survived the coming of the Rapture, and Mr. Camping has once again been discredited, a question arose in my mind: must there be an end to the world? Must there be a Rapture? Or a Judgment Day? Or a Final Reckoning?
Indeed, most, if not all, religious traditions talk about an end to the world, where all will come again before God for judgment and reckoning. The Qur'an is full of vivid references to the Day of Judgment, such as this:
O men! Be conscious of your Sustainer: for, verily the violent convulsion of the Last Hour will be an awesome thing! On the Day when you behold it, every woman that feeds a child at her breast will utterly forget her nursling, and every woman heavy with child will bring forth her burden [before her time]; and it will seem to thee that all mankind is drunk, although they will not be drunk – but vehement will be [their dread of] God's chastisement. (22:1-2)
Here is another example:
WHEN THE SUN is shrouded in darkness, and when the stars lose their light, and when the mountains are made to vanish, and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended, and when all beasts are gathered together, and when the seas boil over, and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds], and when the girl-child that was buried alive is made to ask, for what crime she had been slain, and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, and when heaven is laid bare, and when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright, and when paradise is brought into view: [on that Day] every human being will come to know what he has prepared [for himself]. (81:1-14)
Why must there be a day when the "seas will boil over"? Why must there be a day when the earthquake "will be an awesome thing"? Why must there be an hour when "Heaven and earth shall pass away" (Matthew 24:35)?
The Qur'anic passages give the answer: "[on that Day] every human being will come to know what he has prepared [for himself]." On that Day, the cruelty of this world will be reconciled; the iniquity of many shall be recompensed; the deeds of the wicked shall be called to account. On that Day, all will be made whole, and everyone will answer for what he or she have wrought.
In fact, it is the cruelty of our world that – in my mind – necessitates a Last Day. All over our world, it seems that good people are punished and made to suffer while truly wicked people are left to roam free. Parents – who try to be good people and live good lives – suffer from watching their children battle cancer and other horrific diseases. Parents – who try to be good people and live good lives – watch their children die before their eyes. Natural disasters wipe out entire cities – taking thousands of people with them – seemingly without rhyme or reason.
If our world was "it," and there was no Last Day, no Judgment, no Hour, it would not make any sense at all. Yet, along with the belief in an All-Powerful, All-Beautiful, All-Merciful God comes the belief in a Last Day, when all will be made whole. And this Last Day will be the beginning of a new era where everything will finally be right, and whole, and proper. No more cruelty; no more injustice; no more unbalance. That is why this world must end, although no one knows when this end will be, despite the predictions of many to the contrary.
Yet, with the belief and knowledge that the world will end, does this mean that we should just remain passive and do nothing to effect change? If the Lord our God is in charge – which he is – then should we just live our lives with no concern for what is happening around us?
