A round-up of the engineering news that has been hitting the headlines around the globe.
1. France
An underground strategic oil store in France has been equipped with a sophisticated brine filtration system provided by Israeli firm Amiad Filtration Systems. Liquid hydrocarbons, including crude oil, gasoline and fuel, are held in 27 salt-leached caverns at the facility, which has a capacity of 7.5 million cubic metres.
The chemical-free filtration system cleans the leaching solution before it is injected into the sea. Performance testing and operation under real conditions are now under way.
2. Morocco
Morocco has ordered 14 very-high-speed trains from French company Alstom for the Tangiers-Casablanca route. The trains, due to enter commercial service in December 2015, will run at 320km/h between Tangiers and Kenitra – the first 200km section of Morocco's very-high-speed network. They will then run on the conventional network to Casablanca. The new line will free capacity on the existing route to support an expected increase in traffic when the new Tangiers Med port opens.
3. Brazil
The city government of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, has opened a new operations centre that consolidates data from multiple departments and public agencies for real-time visualisation, monitoring and analysis. The centre, built by IBM, was designed initially for forecasting floods and related emergencies, but is extensible to any major or disruptive event, providing a unified view of all the available information to incident commanders and decision-makers.
As part of the project, IBM Research scientists are developing a high-resolution weather forecasting and hydrological modelling system that can predict heavy rains affecting Rio up to 48 hours in advance.
4. Sweden, Lithuania
The Nordic and Baltic energy markets are to have a new interconnector with the construction of a link between Sweden and Lithuania.
ABB has been chosen to supply a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system comprising two 700MW, ±300kV converter stations, one in Nybro, Sweden, the other in Klaipeda, Lithuania, as well as the supply and installation of two 300kV underwater cables, each 400km long, and land cables of the same voltage in Sweden and Lithuania.
Active AC voltage support will provide greater network stability, and there will be black-start capability for faster grid restoration after a blackout. The project will be supported by EU funding.
5. Estonia, Finland
Electricity transmission capacity between Estonia and Finland will increase three-fold with the construction of a second HVDC link between the two countries. The Estlink2 DC connection will deliver a bi-directional transmission capacity of 650MW in addition to the 350MW provided by Estlink1.
Nexans will design, manufacture and install the 145km subsea cable, which incorporates an integrated return conductor, so only a single cable is required to provide the 450kV link.
6. China
The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, which was scheduled to open in 2012, will now go into operation in June this year, cutting the journey time between China's two most important cities to less than five hours from the ten it takes now. Construction of the 1,318km railway began in April 2008. China's rail minister, Liu Zhijun, said the country's total length of railway had reached 91,000km by 2010, with 13,000km of high-speed railway expected this year and 16,000km by 2015.
7. India
State authorities in Gujarat, India, have approved development of Asia's first commercial scale tidal current power plant in the Gulf of Kutch.
Marine energy developer Atlantis Resources will partner with Gujarat Power Corporation on the landmark project, with construction work starting as early as 2011. Atlantis will also investigate the feasibility of combining the offshore wind resource in the Gulf of Kutch with the proven tidal current resource for a mega marine power project.

Adored itAdored this one! I love this authors writing style and the way she weaves a wonderful romance that feels real and genuine. No insta-love, low angst. Just a nice easy slow build where you really get to know the characters. Dakota is hard working and determined and while Max seems to get everything easily he's just as determined and what he wants right now is Dakota. Convincing her to give him a chance is something he will most definitely have to work hard at! A great story and one that should be on the must read list. I highly recommend it.by Bette H. on April 25, 2017

Making WavesI really like this authors work. This story was about a independent woman who has a fling with a client and ends up pregnant. He has had some devastating circumstances in his life and isn't sure what to do with anything good. When things come to a head they find love and forever. I liked the characters, and the steamy romance was well written. The only thing with this story was how patchy the story line was. It jumped around and in parts the writing was off or elementary. It also had a pretty abrupt endingby Jennifer F. on June 19, 2017

Client: Nintendo
Project: Star Fox Zero
Campaign: Original Content, Social Media Strategy
To promote the release of Star Fox Zero for the Wii U, Midnight Oil and Nintendo took over GameStop's Twitter channel for a one-day event that gave pet owners the chance to submit their furry friend to join Team Star Fox and win awesome prizes.
As fans tweeted photos of their animal pals, a team of designers created irresistible images of furry, scaly (and in some cases, quilled) pets on the fly, dressing them up with space gear or piloting iconic Arwings. Each photo was tagged with custom (and wildly punny) copy, generating significant buzz, massive paw-sitive affinity, and sustained excitement in the Twitter-sphere.

FORT BRAGG --The former Fort Bragg surgeon convicted of one North Carolina's more notorious murders may get another day in court.
Jeffrey MacDonald is serving three life terms for killing his pregnant wife and two children. He has always said he is innocent, claiming that four drug crazed hippies knocked him out and murdered his family on post in 1970.
Now, DNA evidence could win him a new trial.
A federal appeals court in Virginia is holding a hearing Tuesday.
The MacDonald murders spawned a book and a TV mini-series called "Fatal Vision."

Several higher education groups will hold information sessions for ITT Technical Students, who were displaced last week when the school's Kentucky campuses were abruptly closed.
The Council on Postsecondary Education, the Bluegrass Community and Technical College and the Jefferson Community and Technical College will hold two information sessions this week.
"In the wake of ITT's closing, students were left with so much uncertainty related to their educational futures," said council President Bob King. "We hope these sessions will provide students with the information they need to transition to another institution to complete their degrees."
The first session will be on Wednesday, Sept. 14, from 4:30 to 8 p.m. at the Leestown campus of BCTC, Leestown Conference Center, 164 Opportunity Way, Lexington.
The second will be on Thursday, Sept. 15, from 4:30 to 8 p.m. at the downtown campus of JCTC, Health Science Hall, 110 W. Chestnut, Louisville.
In addition to the host institutions, students will have the opportunity to explore college options with representatives from other institutions.
Officials from the U.S. Department of Education, Department of Veteran Affairs and the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority will be available to talk with students about their financial aid options.
Students should bring their transcripts or grade reports and any industry certifications.
ITT closed last week after the U.S. Department of Education announced it was cutting off federal financial aid because of accreditation problems.

SOURCE: Gopher Protocol, Inc.
October 02, 2017 08:00 ET
ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - Oct 2, 2017) - Gopher Protocol, Inc. (OTCQB: GOPH) ("Gopher" or the "Company"), a development-stage company which specializes in the creation of Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence enabled mobile technologies and distribution, engages Large Media to launch the Guardian Orb Indiegogo and marketing campaign. As announced on August 28, 2017, the Company launched a Beta Awareness Campaign for The GUARDIAN ORB Proprietary Pet Tracking Device on the Indiegogo platform at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/guardian-orb-the-most-advanced-gps-pet-tracker-dog/coming_soon. Large Media will take over the beta campaign as well as the related conversion to an actual campaign.
Gopher's engagement with Large Media followed several months of due diligence and interviews. Gopher Protocol was introduced to Large Media through Indiegogo. The Company is also in negotiation with Indiegogo on the terms of a strategic campaign agreement, which in essence, if executed and if qualified will provide for promotions by Indiegogo of the Company's campaign.
Large Media's Partner and COO, Audrey Binkowski, will be heading up the team. "As dog fanatics and experienced crowdfunding marketers, teaming up with GOPHER Protocol to launch the Guardian Orb's Indiegogo campaign was a natural fit. We recognize that in an ideal world, no pet would ever slip out the back door and run off or get stolen from someone's yard. But, we also understand that no matter how cautious pet owners are, sometimes the unthinkable happens. The peace of mind that comes from knowing your best friend will come home is something you can't put a price on. We are thrilled to be able to bring this invaluable device to pet parents everywhere," said Audrey.
About Large Media
Large Media is a thriving, Catskill Mountains-based marketing firm that utilizes a data-driven approach combined with creative thinking to deliver social and digital marketing programs that deliver real ROI.

About Indiegogo
Indiegogo is an international crowdfunding website founded in 2008 by Danae Ringelmann,[2] Slava Rubin, and Eric Schell. Its headquarters are in San Francisco, California. The site is one of the first sites to offer crowd funding. Indiegogo allows people to solicit funds for an idea, charity, or start-up business. Indiegogo charges a 5% fee on contributions. This charge is in addition to credit card and PayPal charges that range from 3.5% to 9%. Fifteen million people visit the site each month.
The site runs on a rewards-based system, meaning donors, investors, or customers who are willing help to fund a project or product can donate and receive a gift, rather than an equity stake in the company. Following changes in Security and Exchange Commission rules earlier in 2016, Indiegogo has partnered with MicroVentures to offer equity-based campaigns beginning in November 2016, allowing unaccredited investors to participate with equity stakes.

Will The REAL God Please Stand Up?
What does "God" mean to you? Here's why I ask …
Some believe God is the "Good Sheppard" — a kind,
loving God that cares for us.
Some believe God is the "Almighty Punisher" — the
angry man who lives in the sky!
Some believe God is the "Genie In a Bottle" — capable
of granting your deepest wishes. (Kinda like how the
"law of attraction" is presented these days, huh 😉
Well what do YOU think?
It seems the concept of "God" has become so mixed up
with *human* attachments, prejudices and emotions that,
it puts many, many people off completely!
And so we see these fun-da-mentalists boldly claiming
they are "right" and everyone else is wrong. We see
violence, killing and war… all in the name of what?
God's love.
How distorted is that?!
Now I'm not here to tell you what God is really like.
But I do think that "God" (or at least what that idea
represents) is something you can discover and nurture
for yourself without all the BS… That's why I'm really
excited about this new book:
"When God Spoke to Me: The Inspiring Stories Of Ordinary
People Who Have Received Divine Guidance and Wisdom"
Never before has a book been written that shares so many
true-life stories of ordinary men and women from around
the world who have experienced hearing God's Voice.
The book will not only move you to see life from a new
perspective, it's filled with such raw and captivating
authenticity and emotion that it's causing a tremendous
stir amongst ministers, professors, and readers across
the gamut of religious and spiritual boundaries.
I highly recommend you grab yourself a copy of this book.
"This book is delightful because it confirms that all
of us can speak with the Divine. In these stories we hear
regular people and how their lives shift because of their
connection to God. It is very inspiring!"
Mariel Hemingway,
Actress, Author of Mariel's Kitchen
"I loved this book! I told all the ministers who graduated
from seminary with me to read it! These heartwarming
stories brought me to tears, not tears of sadness, but
tears of joy knowing that the tangible love and presence
of God is with us always."
Brad Langdon,
Unity Church of Anderson, Indiana
"This inspiring book is a rich storehouse of stories of
people who—in the midst of addiction, grief, anger,
rebellion, loneliness, and many other situations that
afflict us all—have heard the voice of a God who can
restore and renew. These testimonies are the best evidence
we can hope for that the Ancient of Days is still
transforming lives in the 21st century!"
Richard Mouw,
President & Professor of Christian Philosophy,
Fuller Theological Seminary
"When God Spoke to Me" marks the beginning of a new era —
where we understand and acknowledge that God speaks to all
of us, in countless different ways, regardless of our personal
struggles, our backgrounds, or our faith.
I strongly encourage you get yourself a copy of this
fascinating book. It promises to be one of the most
inspiring, life-changing books you'll ever read.
Full details and get your copy here:
All the best!

Pollster and analyst Pat Caddell joined Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Tuesday to discuss the state of the presidential race.
"The polls today are still just all over the place," said Caddell. "I see one in North Carolina where it's even and another where Trump's seven behind. I don't know how you do that in the same polling period if these polls were working correctly."
Added Caddell, "We have a race that remains very close. Hillary Clinton seems to have made some movement in the last few days in the tracking polls and is running a point ahead, or even, in most of them."
Caddell also questioned Trump's reliance on rallies, as opposed to a broader media effort to reach more people in the closing days. He's unconvinced it can compete with Clinton's ad spending. At the same time, he discounted talk of a Clinton landslide.
"Based on what?" asked Caddell, with respect to a potential Clinton landslide. "It's certainly not where the American people are positioned about the economy, to continue Obama's policies, or foreign policy, or health care, which is now a disaster."
Caddell said that to be heard, Trump needs to go over the media's heads in the closing weeks if he wants to win.
Breitbart News Daily airs on SiriusXM Patriot 125 weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Eastern.

Matthew McConaughey wants to make more comedies.
The Oscar-winning actor was largely known for his work on light-hearted love tales such as 'Fool's Gold', 'How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days' and 'Failure to Launch' in the 2000s, before finding critical acclaim with his later movies like 'Killer Joe', 'Dallas Buyers Club' and 'The Lincoln Lawyer'.
And while Matthew doesn't know if he'll go back to making romances again, he does want to make people laugh with his work.
He said "I usually don't my make choices reacting on thinking what someone might want. I mean there's plenty of great escapism out there. I've been trying to choose things that turn me on, and comedy does turn me on.
"So I'm looking forward to doing more comedy again. I don't know if it's going to be a romantic comedy, but all comedy interests me, and I want to make them again."
The 47-year-old star - who has children Levi, eight, Vida, six, and Livingston, three, with wife Camila Alves - next features in 'Sing', in which he voices koala Buster Moon, and admitted both this role and his other most recent project, stop-motion family fantasy 'Kubo and the Two Strings', have impressed his kids.
He told Vanity Fair: "Part of the reason why I wanted to do animated films was to make something that my kids can see.
"I have been looking for something animated for years and actually never got hired. This came along at the right time. I've got three kids, and I love watching them watch animated movies. I pick up at what they laugh at, and I note it down.
"Doing 'Kubo' and 'Sing', I've got a little more clout around the house."

Just started taking and had immediate nausea, headache, and insomnia.
Do side effects of venlafaxine subside over time?

Hey there jneed. As kai said, you need to take this with food. I don't mean a shake, or anything liquid is going to help you. It must be solid in order for the med to grab onto it. Like a sandwich. Soda crackers help me prevent nausea, but you need to take your med with solid food. Maybe you can try this. I can't take Lamictal without something solid, or I get sick, too. Who knows, it might be work for you. You don't have anything to lose.
Take care and be happy,

Viedma Glacier
The Southern Patagonian Ice Field is the third largest in the world and the most important source of freshwater in South America. It covers 5,000 square miles (85 percent of which are located in Chile, and 15 percent in Argentina) and is the birthplace of 48 large named glaciers, including the famously still-advancing Perito Mereno and the Viedma Glacier—the largest in Argentina. Viedma, like Perito Moreno and many others, is located within the UNESCO-protected Los Glaciares National Park. Viedma is best accessed from the small town of El Chaltén.
The iceberg flows down the valley and calves at its terminus, an area that is referred to as "moraine-rich," which means ice picks up silt as it goes and is dusted with grey and black on exposed surfaces, as opposed to being pristine and white. Within the glacier, as moraine turns and moves, it is also visible as dark stripes, showing the movement the ice took as it came down the valley.

LEWES, Del. -- Salvagers triumphantly brought what remains of the hull of the 18th-century British warship HMS deBraak ashore here Tuesday after it spent 188 years at the bottom of Delaware Bay.
But the leader of the salvagers said the hull might be put back in its grave and searchers fear most of whatever treasure it might have held was lost in the raising.
``Unless we can find a way of preserving it economically we will put it down again and cover it up until a future generation can find a better and more economical way to preserve it,`` said Kevin McCormick, the manager of the salvaging project.
The hull -- half a hull, really, since only the starboard side was buried in the mud and thus protected from worms, chemical reactions and currents -- spilled almost all of whatever might have been inside it while being raised from its grave nearly 90 feet under the bay, said Dr. John Kern, the director of the Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs.
The salvager, Sub-Sal Inc., plans to scoop out the sediment from beneath the deBraak, where the bulk of the treasure, if any, is expected to be found. The value of the treasure has been estimated at $5 million to $500 million. About 600 gold and silver coins have been recovered during the two-year salvage effort, as well as historical artifacts.
The hull segment itself is about 70 feet long.
In her day, the deBraak, a captured Dutch cutter converted to a fast- raiding, two-masted brig for the Royal Navy, preyed on Spanish ships along the North American coast. Legend has it she was carrying captured Spanish gold, silver and jewels and was towing a Spanish ship when a sudden squall sank her near here in the late afternoon of May 25, 1798.

"Energy efficiency" is a term that has been bandied about
since the early 1980s. Since its inception in literature and common parlance, it has meant different things in different contexts.
Today, to the man in the street it denotes the way electrical items, gadgets and commercial and household appliances receive and use electricity – emotively coined "energy". The nitty-gritty is using what we want to fulfil our modern technological appetite – ranging from our insatiable use of computers, washing machines and refrigerators – without having to pay large energy bills for the privilege!
Whilst the focus may always have been on cost saving, in today's political, economic and social atmosphere, the focus has shifted slightly with the intention of not only saving money but also to be environmentally aware of the impact our use of electricity has on the environment.
Both providers and consumers of electrical energy are driven by conscience, by society and by media to be "green" and thus "environmentally friendly"..
Costs and solutions
There has been a lot of discussion in the industry surrounding the need for accommodation facilities to begin their own individual profile to be seen as being green. This is in addition to the financial need to curb escalating costs on ever-increasing electricity prices and the impact the GFC has had on tourism and travel.
For a number of new developments, the requirement to comply with vigorous green building standards is becoming a must. This is in addition to the conscious decisions owners and developers are making in looking for alternatives to the high-energy-consuming equipment hotels have traditionally relied on.
While, as mentioned, this is partially motivated by the demands of government and building groups, it is increasingly done as a conscious focus by the owners, who are keen on maintaining systems that are not only inexpensive to purchase but also inexpensive to maintain and operate. Thus a number of properties are planning for in-room intelligent control systems whereby electrical consumption can be controlled by the actual needs and usage of the guest in situ, but also from a central point within the accommodation. For the properties that cannot consider the initial installation cost of this kind of system in the short term, there are less expensive measures to achieve energy reductions in the industry. Replacing white goods in rooms with Energy Star energy-efficient minibars is one such measure.
Go green with electronic locks
The preferred hotel/motel style electronic locks are stand-alone battery-operated items despite the misnomer suggesting that they contribute to the electricity account. Modern electronic locks not only operate on fewer batteries than traditional locks, but also give hotelier the option to forgo keycards altogether. Regardless, environmentally responsible bio-degradable keycards manufactured from corn are now available to the accommodation provider for staff and guest-room doors, and are used exclusively by Melbourne's carbon-neutral hotel, Alto on Bourke.
Electronic locks have traditionally relied on information that is encoded on magnetic stripe. The introduction of contactless smart chips allowing retention of data within the card has given hotel staff greater ease and flexibility of information management.
A further step towards technological sophistication has been made with the introduction of RFID (radio frequency identification) contactless proximity locks and cards in the last few years. The benefits of this advanced technology far surpass those of traditional magnetic strip..
RFID proximity cards are capable of retaining the audit trail within the cards themselves, not just within the lock as was the case in the past. This allows accommodation management to effectively track the movements of the card user and not only the activity of a single lock. For property owners and engineers the cost-effective benefit of RFID is that there is no mechanical movement and interaction between the card and the lock reader other than the mere presentation (and not physical insertion) of card to reader. Because of this, the manufacturers can completely seal the reader heads, thus ensuring complete integrity and protection from harsh elements such as excessive dirt and dust, salt-water environments, and moisture that would otherwise build up between air-conditioned rooms and high humidity environments outside.
The biggest advantage of the RFID proximity card is that it is designed to carry information that can be used on multiple applications.
It's used in Australia
In 2007 Saflok was the first to release a stand-alone electronic locking system operating on a wireless online platform known as the Messenger System. This system is an extremely powerful tool that has the capability to communicate directly with each and every door lock delivering real time and date information back to a central server through a network of wireless communication using radio frequency. Few companies in Australia are licensed to deliver this innovative up-to-the minute technology and large and busy sites such as backpacker accommodation facilities are currently enjoying the benefits of having real-time reporting on aspects of security such as door jar alerts, egress monitoring and convenience of logistics such as remote room changes.
What does the future hold?
As electronic locks are also considered to be an essential item for modern student facilities, the next foreseeable step is NFC – near field communication. This is a short- range high-frequency wireless communication technology.
NFC is primarily aimed at usage in mobile phones and facilitates accommodation providers sending personal encrypted data that will enable the guest's NFC- capable mobile phone to gain access to their own guest-room door lock for a pre-allocated period. To do so, the guest merely presents their phone to the reader of the appropriate lock and entrance is gained with full security as if it were a proximity keycard, pendant or some other traditional credential.
It is thought that it will be a few more years before mobile phone manufacturers will release capable models to the Australian or New Zealand markets. However, with the forward planning that it is renowned for, Kaba electronic locks are already designed to be NFC capable. For the hotelier this means that with these locks there will be no need for replacement locks should NFC be the system of choice in the future.

Today the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) has announced a new warding pattern, to come into effect in May 2015, for North West Leicestershire District Council comprised of 38 'single member wards'.
The warding pattern will mean that Whitwick, which has long been represented by a 3 councillors in a 'multi member ward' will now be divided into 4 distinct wards (picking up parts of the old Thringstone and Greenhill wards) each represented by a single councillor.
Whilst this might not make a great difference to local people the knock on effect to Whitwick Parish Council and local residents almost certainly will.
As a result of the LGBCE decision the civil parish of Whitwick will now become warded, which means that in May 2015 separate elections will have to take place for each ward.
Currently Whitwick Parish is represented wholly by 11 Parish Councillors. From next May 2 Parish Councillors will be returned from the Broom Leys ward and 3 each respectively from Holly Hayes, Hermitage and Thornborough.
County Councillor for Whitwick, Leon Spence, expressed his concern "What this means is that the cost of carrying out elections in Whitwick, a cost borne directly by local residents, may well increase significantly.
"In 2011 £6,500 was budgeted to cover the cost of the inaugural election for the Parish Council but because only 9 prospective candidates put their name forward an election was not needed and the actual cost was £43.26.
"Under these new arrangements it's entirely possible that some wards will have more prospective candidates than places, thereby forcing an election, whilst other wards may have nobody putting themselves forward to stand.
"It is quite possible that in 2015 the cost of electing a Parish Council could top £10,000 - and we may still end up having to hold additional elections or co-opting.
"I desperately want to see more local people taking part in the life of the Parish Council but these ridiculous proposals could have the effect of taking money away from local services whilst at the same time turning aspiring candidates off the democratic process even further.
"The sensible thing to do to increase participation is to hold a single election for the whole of Whitwick, the boundary commission have done just about the daftest thing with these recommendations."
Full details of LGBCE's proposals can be found here.

Maybe since those first editions some of the romanticism
of departing towards the unknown has been lost, in
those days the competitors considered the boundaries
of their personal limits could be compared to the
columns of Hercules,
Training, nutrition, clothing and gear have the fine tuning of a Formula 1
car. With a bit of nostalgia and smiling fondly at photos of the first edition,
of race suits borrowed from nordic skiing and heavy equipment which would never
be used nowadays. With the same courage of the first pioneers, we now look
ahead, towards the dream to make this Skimarathon grow even bigger with technological
projects which after the first trials are going full blast and a twinning with
Saalbach's Mountain Attack says a lot for the future of these competitions.
The most important winter sport competitions, from the historical ski jumping
competition "Trofeo dei 4 trampolini", to the more recent cross
country skiing "Tour de Ski", have joined up to give added value
to each discipline. Maybe even in night ski-mountaineering competitions an
international circuit will develop including all the most important competitions.
If that happens another step forward towards the future will have been taken.

The Closer, The Better
At the time those words weren't at all what I wanted to hear, but now those words are perfect. They replay in my head more rhythmic than before. Like a chant. Or a song. Or the soundtrack to my life.
"You're closer now than you've ever been," I repeat to myself as I click clack away at these keys. I say it every time I log into this site, or think of a new idea. I'm closer now that I was in February. There are people, and organizations, and community leaders, and bloggers who now know who I am - who now know what DEAR QUEENS is. I'm closer now than I was with Polished Perceptions, or Z Talks, or my very personal, very uncensored Tumblr account.
"You're closer now than you've ever been," I say aloud as I think back to the mess I used to be a mere three years ago. I think back to my own battles with self-love, identity and worth. I think back to the bad decisions and bad hangovers. I think back to the bad outfits and badder hair days. I think back to the bad mouthing and the bad relationships.
I'm closer to Christ now, than I've ever been. I remind myself of that every time I think of how this purpose was revealed to me. I reference that every time I pray before I react. I inhale those words every time I think of how my decisions and behavior will impact His kingdom and my entry into it. I look to Bible verses to guide me through situations, and look to God to lead me to my next moves. I talk less and listen more. I open my heart to His guidance and His desires, rather than my own. I sing to Him and cry to Him. I speak to Him - not always to ask for things - but to show my gratitude. I worship Him. I shout for Him. I cry for Him. I believe in Him. I'm closer.
I'm closer to me now, than I've ever been. I've identified myself with my own metrics. I've defined myself with my own guidelines. I've sulked in solitude and came out from the dark enlightened. Filled with love. Filled with promise. Filled with an identity that I hadn't had an interest in tapping into before. I've grown into me. I've become a me I'm proud to wake up to. A me with meaning. An unapologetic me. I've tapped into my power. My beautiful womanhood. My beautiful flaws. I'm closer.
I'm closer to love now, than I've ever been. I'm feeling it. I'm wallowing in it. I'm jumping in it's puddles and giggling with each splash. I'm welcoming it into my life and giving it back. I'm sharing it. I'm enjoying it. I'm play wrestling under the covers with it. I'm uncovering it. I'm doing things I've never done and saying things I never thought I'd say to it. I'm happy in it. I no longer neglect it, but realize that to keep it growing it must be watered. It must be nurtured. I'm nurturing it. I'm trusting it. I'm in it, deeply. I'm much closer.
And, this is the best closeness I've ever experienced. The most important proximity I could ever welcome myself to. The best warmth I've ever felt. This closeness is perfect. I know this must've been what my mother meant. That while literally I was closer then, than I'd ever been, this is true closeness. Being closer to resolution. Closer to triumph. Closer to joy and peace and wholeness. Closer to completion. Closer to it all making sense.
I'm closer now than I've ever been - and tomorrow I'll be even closer. The closer, the better.
The above is written in support of All The Many Layers' #30Layers30Days writing challenge.

Questions I'd like your perspective on:
1.) Am I wrong to teach my 6 and 7 year old girls that people can LOOK good but might not BE good?
2.) Am I wrong to bring my 6 and 7 year old girls with me while I distribute H1N1 posters (at the grocery store, door to door etc)?
3.) Am I wrong to allow my 6 and 7 year old girls to hand out the H1N1 posters?
4.) Am I wrong to allow my 6 and 7 year old girls to take H1N1 posters to school with them to give to their friends?
5.) Am I wrong to teach my 6 and 7 year old girls what I honestly think about the Government, Global Warming, Vaccines, Religion, War, or the Military?
Please answer. I could really use some perspective.
I've already been called crazy by hundreds, called an asshole by countless others.
2.) No, I think this is helping people to see that you really believe in what you're talking about.
3.) I think you're setting up a very positive path for your daughters growth. You're teaching them to stand up for what they believe in, and not be afraid of the masses. They may end up becoming just the people we need in this world to make a real change.
4.) I'm not sure about this one. Will this effect their friendships or prevent them from being invited to b-day parties etc? Then again, do you care to have them hang around with or be invited to people's houses who don't believe in looking outside the box?
5.) Definitely teach them your opinions, but also make sure they know that it's important to form their own.
First, as a caveat, I think "wrong" might be a heavy term and be careful not to be too hard on yourself if you discover after this inquiry that people you truly care about think that you are "wrong".
From my perspective: I think #1 is a definite, *No it's not wrong* to each them that just because people look good doesn't mean that they ARE good. Every kid needs to learn that and if their parents don't teach it to them, then they'll learn it the hard way.
As for 2, I think it depends on why you're bringing them with you. If it's because you can't find daycare or because you're going anyway, that's one thing, but if you're bringing them with you to show that you in fact are a parent or otherwise to "further the cause" I think it's a bit darker grey. No kid should be used as a weapon, be it in actual combat, political sparring, post-divorce family wrangling, or marketing, social or otherwise.
For 3, 4, & 5 I feel that it's really a question of how ready your 6 & 7 year old girls are to think critically and decide for themselves what they think about the issues and the information they are able to collect. I know it's possible for a 6 or 7 year old to be a genius, but the people whose responsibility it is to make decisions on these issues and topics (doctors, voters, and adults in general) are all 18+ so I do feel that it might be bit much to involve them in all this stuff when they're still eleven years away from being in a position to choose for themselves, ("officially" speaking of course).
I think it's perfectly natural for you to want what's best for your girls and to help other parents find information to help them make decisions for their kids is a nice way to help other kids too. You're also pretty good at respecting people who think and feel differently than you, and THAT's something your girls can learn at ANY age.

The heart and the red rose as the unchangeable symbols of love. 2 stamps issued by Australia Post to celebrate St. Valentine's Day
To celebrate the upcoming St. Valentine's Day Australia Post has introduced two festive romantic stamps that underline the importance of love in everyone's life. They depict the heart and the red rose that have long been symbols of steadfastness and devotion. The 13th century French poem Roman de la Rose identified the rose with romantic passion and in 1794, Scotland's bard, Robert Burns, famously compared his sweetheart to this exquisite bloom.
FindYourStampsValue.com encourages stamp enthusiasts to appreciate these bright two items that may add a special flavor to their stamp collections.
While Valentine's Day is celebrated in most countries, different cultures have developed their own traditions for this festival. In some parts of the world Valentine's Day is observed as a day for expressing love between family members and friends, rather than that of romantic couples. Some traditions include leaving lollies and gifts for children and others include acts of appreciation between friends.
Valentine's Day is most commonly associated with romantic love, with millions of Valentine's Day cards being exchanged each year. Gifts of flowers or a single red rose are sent with romantic messages to loved ones and couples spend special time together. Valentine's Day gift hampers are also a popular gift and typically include flowers, champagne and chocolates.

Four New Products Enable Collaboration and Call Clarity in Open Office Environments and On-the-Go Work Scenarios
SANTA CRUZ, CA--(Marketwired - February 05, 2015) - Plantronics (NYSE: PLT) today unveiled four new UC (unified communications) audio devices designed to deliver exceptional audio quality and noise management technology to help people effectively communicate and collaborate, regardless of workplace or location. These new offerings are comprised of the Blackwire 725, the company's first UC stereo headset with Active Noise Canceling (ANC) for those people who want to stay focused in noisy office environments; the Voyager Edge UC, the latest product in the Voyager family of Bluetooth headsets aimed at workers constantly on the road; the Calisto 610, a portable speakerphone for instant anywhere conferencing, and the Clarity 340, designed for those who face vision, hearing, or dexterity challenges. Now, workers in the office and on the road have tools they can use to control outside noise that allow them to hear as well as be heard clearly.
"There's been increasing emphasis on the importance of a reliable, high-quality, seamless user experience when communicating and collaborating today, and rightly so," said Rich Costello, senior research analyst, unified communications, IDC. "The new Plantronics offerings not only address these important requirements, but also the surrounding noise factor on both sides of the call."
"Everywhere is the new workplace. We know office noise is increasingly becoming a concern due to more open working environments that promote collaboration, but workplace noise isn't just a problem for those in the office," said Bill Loewenthal, vice president, enterprise product solutions, Plantronics. "You can't always control your environment and you certainly can't control your caller's environment, so we help ensure workers have solutions they need to block out the noise, allowing them to have a high-quality communication experience wherever their workplace is."
The shift to Smarter Working-style environments, though undoubtedly beneficial, creates new noise challenges for individuals and their colleagues which can often undermine productivity gains. The following are Plantronics' new solutions that address the inherent ambient noise challenges and potential audio quality concerns associated with today's Smarter Working scenarios and environments:
Blackwire 725:
The company's first UC product with Active Noise Canceling technology (ANC), provides a corded option at a very affordable price for office workers who need to hear and be heard. The Blackwire 725 is ideal for managing PC calls and enjoying music and multimedia with dynamic hi-fi sound. Also, with the combination of wideband audio, Digital Signal Processing and a noise canceling microphone, incoming calls and your voice are both crystal clear.
Voyager Edge UC:
New wearing style for mobile UC users who need to be heard and want to use their Bluetooth® enabled communications devices (laptop, smartphone or tablet) together. The solution includes a small Bluetooth USB dongle that provides seamless wideband audio to your laptop. The latest addition to the Voyager line features a slim, sophisticated design that fits quickly and comfortably in your ear and comes with its own portable charging case. It boasts signature Plantronics audio technology that eliminates disruptive background noise and includes intuitive, responsive features that keep you moving by automatically answering calls as you place it on your ear.
Calisto 610:
Corded USB speakerphone that provides users the ability to easily create on-the-go conference calls for small groups of people. It enables workers to hear remote participants with high-quality, omni-directional audio, in an easy-to-carry form factor that integrates easily with a softphone of their choice, all at the price of a basic speakerphone; includes carrying case.
Clarity 340:
Designed for knowledge workers with vision, hearing, or dexterity challenges, the Clarity 340 handset-style phone features amplified sound, an easy-to-read screen, large buttons for dialing, and crisp audio.
With Clarity 340, now everyone can fully participate and benefit from UC solutions.
Pricing and Availability
Voyager Edge UC, Blackwire 725 and Calisto 610 are available immediately. The Clarity 340 will be available in March.
MSRP (all USD):
Blackwire 725 -- $179 Voyager Edge UC --$199 Calisto 610 -- $99 Clarity 340 -- $149

This past couple of weeks has been very busy. I have attended a bunco party that went to midnight on a game night....ohhh my head was pounding when I left but I had fun. Then I meet a lady at Staples when I was waiting to get some stuff printed and she was looking for an Avon lady which I was happy to be for her and she needed someone to bring awareness to her Outreach Program she was starting for the deaf community. So I gave her a book and she gave me a flier and now I will be attending her open house on April 6th to introduce Avon and the opportunity as well as starting a fund raiser for her.While at bunco I presented a fundraiser to the lady that owns the place and hope to hear back from her soon. I got several new customers as well. I passed out books in my neighborhood and managed to get a new customer that way as well. To top it all off, I had 2 meetings one Monday and one Tonight and got recognition at both of them for being a Unit Leader and growing a great team that absolutely rocks at sales.
I am still looking for new customers to help me reach my goal of becoming a Presidents Club Member and winning a trip to Hawaii. I have till April 4th to make it. I need people to go to my site here and look at the brochure and place an order with me. I will pay for shipping if people would order for direct delivery or email me their orders. I have set up a PayPal account so that I can get people to help me make my goal happen. I have even sent my daughter in Texas 3 bags of Grippos and Avon brochures so that she can get her friends to order as well. I am going to go tomorrow at lunch and do some recruiting and hopefully I will get some recruits as well as customers. For every $1 dollar spent on an order I get 2 points for it so I will place the order and send it out that is why I set up a PayPal account so I can make every dollar on every order count double. We have alot of great products and huge huge deals coming up. I will do a post on that tomorrow. So hopefully some of you readers on here will help in making my dream to go to Hawaii all expenses paid come true. If you are thinking about becoming an Avon Representative or know someone who is they can go online at my site and put in trinaoneil and I will be there to help and guide them on their journey of becoming Financially Independent. Avon truly is a wonderful company to work for and you are your own boss, set your own hours and write your own paycheck. Everyone has heard of Avon and it has a 100% money back guarantee so they have nothing to loose!! PLUS PLUS PLUS there is NOOOOOO inventory to keep or Quotas to meet like other companies have. The cost to start the business is only $10, so if you know of anyone who is looking to make an extra $300-$500 a month then send them my way.
Ok I have gone on long enough. I am going to get some rest. My hubby is waking me up at 4:30 in the morning before he goes to work. So I hope everyone has a wonderful evening and a great week.

While the U.S. Congress is busy dismantling the Affordable Care Act, Vermonters launched a rally in opposition to Obamacare repeal as part of a nation-wide action led by Senator Bernie Sanders. (VTDigger/ Greenberg)
Under the golden dome, Governor Phil Scott announced a restructuring of state government that will merge the departments of liquor and lottery, restructure IT programs and create a new agency of commerce, workforce and community development. (Seven Days/ Hallenbeck).

That expectation that no new fees would be needed to clean up Lake Champlain was countered on Tuesday when State Treasurer Beth Pearce said that the clean-up program could be funded for two years only out of existing revenues. (VTDigger/ Polhemus)
A long awaited report released Sunday night outlines the Treasurer's plan for a per parcel assessment on property owners as a way to pay for the $970 water clean up. (VPR/ Hirschfeld)
Vermont's legislature and new appointments are getting up to speed on a number of issues. According to John Hollar, DRM lobbyist with his finger on the pulse of the State House, legislation is in motion:
- housing bill, but if it means making permitting easier that will bring protest from environmentalists. To the extent it doesn't have a strong emphasis on affordable housing, low-income advocates will also fight it.
- bill to clarify the rules governing independent contractors, but that will be strongly opposed by organized labor. The outcome of that fight may have been preordained when Speaker Mitzi Johnson largely dismantled the committee that last year unanimously approved a bill that would have fixed the problem. (DRM/ Hollar).
- proposals to shift education dollars away from K-12 and into pre-K and higher education, but those will face a wall of resistance from the Vermont NEA. (DRM/ Hollar).
- On the Democratic side, the initiative that seems to be receiving the most focus is a bill to create a paid family leave benefit. The bill would establish an insurance program to fund twelve weeks of family leave that would be financed by a payroll tax of about one percent divided between employees and employers. The cost has been estimated at $79 million. The bill has a great deal of support in the legislature, but given the governor's unwavering focus on the economy and taxes, his approval seems unlikely. (DRM/ Hollar)
A recently released Legislative report to "Promote Increased Ease of Citizen Participation in PSB Proceedings" recommends that the Public Service Board change its name to avoid confusion with the Department of Public Service and for the State to revive Vermont Interactive Technologies (VIT) as a forum for public input.
In a major win for cable TV consumers and the people of Vermont, the Public Service Board delivered its long awaited ruling on Comcast's Certificate of Public Good last Friday. The decision lays the groundwork for modernizing PEG access and delivers a clear statement that PEG access is an important community good and should remain relevant as cable technology changes. (CCTV/ Davitian)
In a celebration of five decades of public service, the Vermont Senate declared March 7th 2017 Bill Doyle Town Meeting Day. (Seven Days/ Hallenbeck)
And former Vermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell looks back on two decades of being the state's top law enforcement official. (VPR/ Lindholm & Daniels).

Developer of the number one Korean online baseball game and based in Korea, Anipark, announced today that it has received its own license of Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3 for its next two major projects, which will be a next-generation online baseball game, and a new massively multiplayer online role-playing game.
The highly anticipated sequel of the baseball game will be based on "MaguMagu" (The number one Korean online baseball game). The game will deliver fantastic 3D Baseball gameplay for users of all ages.
Development Director at Anipark, Kwon Min Kwan, said that they have chosen Unreal Engine 3 for their baseball game because of its ability to handle massive amounts of integrated data easily and efficiently. He also said that there was no question that the Unreal Engine 3 was the right choice, and that they know that the Unreal Engine team has the right tools and support to help them realize their vision for their next titles.
Anipark will also be developing a new Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game with the new Unreal Engine 3 license, in addition to the new online baseball game. This project will follow the release of "Project A3", which was Anipark's first Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game. The game is known for its quick and fast movie-like camera work, dramatic battle scenes and high-impact visuals.
Territory Manager of Epic Games Korea, Ray Park, stated that they are always excited when developers choose Unreal Engine 3 for the sequel of their most popular games. He also stated that Anipark established themselves as an industry leader early on, with the development of the first casual 3D online Korean baseball game and the release of the first adult-targeted MMORPG in Korea with "Project A3". Ray Park also explained that they all look forward to seeing what new ground Anipark will break in developing those two new games

Joe Domino
We are pleased to announce that Joe Domino has been appointed to serve as the National Commissioner Service Team Task Force's Chair on Underserved Markets. The ability to serve youth in underserved markets from all types of demographics is critical to the future of Scouting. Joe has been asked to partner with the All Markets Strategy Committee, the national staff, and others who are focused on Scouting's All Markets strategy, and to assist the Commissioner Corps in better understanding and supporting Scouting's ongoing efforts to serve these youth. Joe is returning to the task force in this new role, having initially servedas the region commissioner for the Southern Region.
One of Chief Scout Executive Wayne Brock's main priorities is increasing youth membership and retention rates in a quality way. The organization's All Markets strategy, in addressing this priority, has set goals of creating support and plans for councils that will lead to an increase of market share in Asian American, African American, and Hispanic/Latino American youth, among other constituencies. Reaching these diverse communities, at times, requires printed, video, and online materials and resources in languages other than English. These include recruitment, membership resources, leader-specific training, advancement, and Youth Protection program materials. Producing secondlanguage content can help the BSA achieve several of its strategic goals such as impact and participation, building the brand, and dynamic and relevant program by providing content to diverse and multicultural audiences. Did you know, for instance, that the Communication Services Department has completed more than 100 publications that were either bilingual (English with a second language) or entirely in another language? The most common language for translations was Spanish, but materials have also been translated into Korean, Vietnamese,Chinese, Russian, Portuguese, French, and Arabic.
To be clear, our fundamental task of unit retention and supporting a quality program experience for our youth has not changed. As commissioners, however, it is important that we understand the BSA's All Markets strategy and the many resources that are available to serve local units. Joe will lead the efforts to equip every unit and administrative commissioner with the core information they need to understand the All Markets strategy and encourage our continuing efforts to bring the Scouting program to every diverse community in America.Please congratulate Joe on his appointment.

The example should work with ApacheDS 1.5 as well, because the functionality Thunderbird uses is very basic. I have not tried it with Thunderbird 2.0 (1.5 only). Can you describe the operation, you perform with Thunderbird in order to get users in detail? Do you use a search in the address book, or auto completion during mail creation etc. ? Thunderbird is not good with error messages by the way. Your Wireshark attachment looks like a search operation with a result set -- which is expected, but I am not able to decrypt it as well. One idea I had is missing credentials (bind DN), in case you have anonymous access disabled. Gretings, Stefan

Barking Riverside
Barking Riverside Limited
Barking Riverside is a large development in east London along the River Thames. Work began in 2003 and the scale of development means that it would take a minimum of 20 years to complete and provide 10800 new homes, two new schools, a community centre and two retail centres set within existing marshland.
We were commissioned as part of the Section 106 agreement with London Borough of Barking & Dagenham. Our role was to engage residents and businesses around the 443 acre site and begin to understand how this huge local change could positively impact existing residents and how we could begin to blur the boundaries between old and new so that people saw new public spaces and facilities as available for them to use as well.
Phase 1 – understanding the context February – September 2011
Phase 2 – project delivery and handover October 2011 – September 2012
Our starting point for the engagement strand was to map out existing groups and services in the area so that we developed a good understanding of the existing social infrastructure. We held a series of one–to-ones with members and leaders of these groups to understand the area from their perspective and look for opportunities to knit in the new facilities. We quickly realised that people were unsure of the details and exact location of the development – and the sheer size and duration of the scheme meant that it felt intangible to many.
We developed a strategy to make the engagement work fun and rewarding in its own right. We utilised an empty shop on an existing shopping parade and set up a live stream of the river Thames and offered to swap popcorn for people's thoughts about the area: what was good about it and what opportunities for improvement there were. This spectacle attracted lots of attention and got people curious about what we were doing. Having a consistent visual presence allowed people to become familiar with us and our intentions.
By analysing all the data collected we developed projects that worked on the most common themes such as: 'We can't find anything', 'We want outdoor programming', 'We need a well managed facility.'
We responded to these themes by running a series of mini projects to test out ideas from outdoor cinema screenings, Easter egg hunts, temporary way finding interventions and building the world's largest bee hotel to get as many people mobilised and interested in what this new urban development might mean for them.
The final outcomes included a bold new way finding system, a network of community mobilisers to continue to programme events we had initiated with people and bringing local stakeholders together to think about the management and business planning of the new community facility.
