Minister Wheeler dedicated his life to Christ and was baptized at First Mt. Olive Freewill Baptist Church where Bishop Oscar E. Brown is the Pastor. There he served as a member of the youth choir and dedicated servant of God. When he was not at his home church, he worshiped with Freedom Baptist Missionary Church where his grandmother Doris Sullivan and many other relatives are members.
In March of 2012, he became a member of Freedom Baptist Missionary Church where he recommitted his life to Christ. He came running to God as a willing worker, serving as the sound engineer (2012), and a Praise and Worship Leader (2013).
In November 2013, Minister Wheeler announced his calling into the ministry. On March 28, 2014 while under the leadership of Pastor James A. Johnson, he preached his initial sermon, became a licensed Minster of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and served as the Youth Minister at Freedom Baptist Missionary Church for nearly 3 years. On December 4, 2016 Minister Jawon L. Wheeler Sr was led by the Holy Spirit to join the St. James Free Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Gary J. Payton Sr, where he faithfully serves as an Associate Minister.
Lead by the unction of the Holy Spirit Min Jawon L. Wheeler SR proposed to the love of his life Tiffany J. Payton on January 1, 2017. Eager to be obedient Min. Wheeler and Sis. Payton tied the knot on April 1, 2017, but that wasn't enough! Min. Jawon L Wheeler SR married his bride Tiffany J. Wheeler for a second time amongst a host of family and friends on April 15,2017. Blessing him with one daughter Ma'Lyhan Partlow.
As stated in 2 Corinthians 5:7, Minister Wheeler stands firm on walking with God by faith and not by sight. His favorite scripture is Psalms 23:1-6 "The Lord is my Shepard; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever".

February 23, 2013 --ABC7 Chicago salutes Chicago businessman Jory Luster, president of Luster Products Inc., which is one of the leading African-American-owned hair care and beauty products companies in the nation.
While Luster is known for his hair care products, the woman who nominated him, Geri Duncan Jones, highlights Luster's commitment to the Chicago area community.
Luster Inc. has a philanthropic arm, a non-profit organization called Black Heritage Foundation. The foundation donates money to local organizations that fight cancer. It has also adopted two Chicago schools, providing computers and financial support.
"He truly cares about the community and deserves a Special Salute!" says Duncan Jones. "I think it would be wonderful if he could be recognized during Black History month, but he is deserving any time of the year."

Fashion trends have a funny way of coming back full circle. Old school concert T-shirts, flapper dresses and even '80s-esque sequin embellishments have all been popping back up lately. Now there's another Grandma-approved piece of fashion advice that's definitely back in style — perfectly matching bags and shoes — and celebs are helping to make it happen.
1. Ashley Benson: Pretty Little Liars actress Ashley Benson proves that mixing high and low is easily doable — so long as the color pops. Here, she matches her red sneakers with a choice Yves Saint Laurent cross body bag.
2. Reese Witherspoon: Reese takes the trend a step further here by matching not just colors, but materials as well, with her denim espadrilles and wicker bag. (BTW, wicker bags are also super hot right now!)
3. Kate Middleton: But if there is a princess (literally) of the matching bag and shoe, it's the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton. She's had this trend on lock since she stepped into the international spotlight, and it totally, totally works for her — it's part of a conscious effort to make sure that every look she's photographed in is timeless.
And there is nothing more timeless than revisiting a classic trend that Grandma swore by.
Will you match your shoes with your handbag? Tweet us @BritandCo!

Mother's Day is a celebration honoring mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on the second Sunday of May in the United States. It complements Father's Day, a similar celebration honoring fathers.
The celebration of Mother's Day began in the United States in the early 20th century; it is not related to the many celebrations of mothers and motherhood that have occurred throughout the world over thousands of years, such as the Greek cult to Cybele, the Roman festival of Hilaria, or the Christian Mothering Sunday celebration. Despite this, in some countries Mother's Day has become synonymous with these older traditions.

Here is our Kefir, given to us by a friend here in China. He brought his initial batch with him from the USA when he moved to China and has been donating bits since living here to anyone interested. So there is a small community now using it.
Kefir is a fermented milk drink made with Kefir grains, although you can use the grains to make alternative drinks from non-dairy products. The Kefir grains basically look like a blob of congealed milky stuff (see picture). You leave this blob in a glass or jar of milk for 24 hours and from that you get a thin yoghurt drink. The blob grows in size and eventually you should break off some and start another batch, or preserve it in the fridge until you use it.
Anyway, we've only just started and are still in the first couple of weeks of making this. The blob has grown and soon I will break it in half and experiment with one half, starting with coconut milk.

My whole time at school I was heavily involved in hockey and athletics. They took up a large amount of my time but I loved the competitions and places they both took me. When I got to university, time was tight to keep these up so instead I joined the local gym and would constantly be setting myself goals to keep in shape. I also would describe myself as a people person; I love socialising. So any opportunity, whether that be going to the local pub to watch rugby matches or shopping and brunch with my flatmates, I am always pushing to organise the event..
Year of Course: 3
About You
How did you come to choose this course and why QMU?
Growing up I was never top of the class in terms of achieving high grades in subjects such as Maths, English or Science. However, when it came to being practical and creative in Art or Business studies I loved it! This made me realise I wanted to go into the business world without having to sit a computer all day. I had honestly never heard of QMU before speaking to a careers adviser but once I looked it up online I fell in love. I much preferred how modern it was compared to the other universities in Edinburgh - the unique style of the main building and the size of the campus. The gym, pitches, accommodation, lecture halls, and Students' Union are all within a five minute walk from each other which was very appealing to me. When choosing the course I wasn't very familiar with public relations but I loved marketing from watching the BBC's 'The Apprentice'.
Why did you choose to study in Edinburgh/Scotland?
As soon as it came to choosing university, I knew I wanted to study in Edinburgh. I had been over a few times on weekend trips with family and also on hockey tours and just loved the city. The old buildings have so much character and the shops on Princes Street and George street are the perfect place to ruin your student budgeting! Being here three years now, I have also noticed how no matter what time of year it is there is always a buzz about the city - so many events on and tourists wondering about: it just gives Edinburgh a special unique feel to it. Finally, Edinburgh was a perfect choice because it's only a 35-minute plane journey home when you need mum's TLC!
Living Away from Home
If you are living in halls what's the best part?
I lived in halls for my first year of university and the best part was definitely meeting everyone. I only knew several people from home in Edinburgh but living in halls gave me that chance to go out and talk to new people and make friends with people I'd be closest to today.
If you are NOT living at home (either in halls or independent flat), what are the top three items that you packed that you wouldn't be without?
- Photographs of family! Mum, dad, sister, pets - all have their own frames just beside my bed which is very comforting when you're having a bad day.
- Hot water bottle. For the majority of the year Edinburgh is very chilly so having my hot water bottle cuddled beside me when doing assignments is the perfect cure!
- First aid kit. My mum made me up this huge box of plasters, creams, tablets and I remember at the time thinking this is ridiculous, but it's not until you overstretch a muscle and need Deep Heat rub that you appreciate this sort of thing. My flat mates are always coming to me looking for antibacterial wipes and plasters, cold and flu tablets etc. By far this has been one of the most useful items I packed before moving to university.
Life in Edinburgh
What's the best experience you've had so far in Edinburgh? Are there any hidden 'gems' you'd like to share?
I have had so many it is hard to choose the best! Going to watch rugby matches at Murrayfield, hiking up Arthur's Seat for a picnic, salsa dancing at El Barrio on Hanover Street. One of my favourite places to go is Stockbridge Market on a Sunday morning. You can get very tasty local food, fresh fruit, crafts, pieces of art, all of top quality, and before you know it's late afternoon!
"I couldn't begin listing what I have learnt since beginning my course or I'd be here for hours. I'd say I have a deeper understanding of what I want to go on and do after university from learning about what is involved in different sectors of PR, marketing and events."
The Course
Did you attend an Open Day? If so was there any aspect of the University which made up your mind for you?
Yes, I came over with my mum and had a tour of the campus and this is what made me love QMU. It was the compatibility and how everything was so close which helped make my mind up. Also that I prefer that QMU has a modern building for classes rather than the old historical lecture halls at other universities in Edinburgh.
What's been the highlight of the course so far? What have you learnt, or which particular activity has been the most interesting?
I love doing presentations and campaigns on my course. Interacting with clients and seeing their face when you do a good pitch is very awarding. I couldn't begin listing what I have learnt since beginning my course or I'd be here for hours. I'd say I have a deeper understanding for what I want to go on and do after university from learning about what is involved in different sectors of PR, marketing and events.
Any advice for students who might be interested in this course?
Go for it! The lecturers are so friendly and helpful; they have made a huge impact on my experience being on this course. The passion they have for the subjects they teach really inspired me to have the same attitude when choosing a job later in life. One downside would be if you want more practical activities than theory this course only has four weeks of placement. However, when I say theory are classes are mostly student led and doing readings and then discussing them together. So I'll make it clear that it's not all exams and essays. The course is assessed on a wide range of things.
Any future plans after graduation?
I want to take a year to travel and explore before getting onto settled in a job. I hope to go to a hot, sunny country and do an internship to gain more experience in the field of marketing while also experiencing living in a different part of the world and being able to relax at a beach on my days off.
Life as a Student at QMU
What's your 'top tip' for making the most of being a student?
Get involved in seminars and group projects! Being friends with others on my course has really helped my studies as we all help each other with assignments and then organise class nights out. I would also say get out of your comfort zone. Before I moved to Edinburgh I would have stuck in my little group of friends and not mixed with other people. Then since coming to QMU I have learnt so much from others opinions and it has helped me grow more and be open to new adventures and ideas.

*Partner, Weil, Gotshal & Manges, LLP, New York, New York. Dartmouth College, B.A. 1976; New York Univ. School of Law, J.D. 1981. Earlier versions of this paper Were presented to the Tax Forum and to the Tax Review in October 2002. The author is indebted to the members of both organizations for their insights and comments on those versions.
Multinational partnerships ("MNPs"), still a relative rarity, present many unresolved tax issues. For purposes of this article, the term MNP refers to an entity generally recognized as a partnership in two or more countries, having offices in two or more countries and partners who are residents of two or more countries. True MNPs are almost always comprised of individuals; corporate-owned partnerships usually confine their activities to pure outbound or pure inbound investment. Moreover, MNPs comprised of individuals are almost always engaged in service businesses, most often the provision of the professional services of lawyers, accountants, engineers, architects and consultants.One reason that true MNPs, as opposed to alliances of independent firms, are still rare is that many countries restrict the practice of professions to individuals or groups of individuals licensed or qualified, and resident in, those countries. For example, Canada does not recognize as a Canadian partnership any partnership that has non-Canadian partners. France, England and other countries impose various bar restrictions on the practice of law by non-nationals and on profit-splitting with non-nationals.Despite these and other restrictions, true MNPs do exist. If recent interest in the topic is any indication, the number of MNPs operating worldwide is growing and will likely continue to grow. Meanwhile, many of the unresolved tax issues affecting MNPs are of broader significance, bearing on the international taxation of many types of partnerships and their partners. This article focuses only on the few key tax issues presented by MNPs comprised of individuals and engaged in the provision of services (professional or other).This article deals in large part with the treatment of partnerships under income tax treaties, and in doing so assumes that each country that is a party to the treaty extends benefits to individual partners resident in the other country. While this was once a perilous assumption, significant progress has been made in this area in recent years. When this paper discusses treaties, the focus is not on treaty benefits such as reduced withholding rates, but on the manner in which tax treaties assign the right to tax the income of cross-border partnerships and their partners.

The Ambassadors of Death: The sister Arts, Western Canon, and the Silent Lines of a Hebrew Survivor | Sussex Academic Press, 2011
Tuvia Ruebner, winner of Israel Prize for Poetry (2008), is a Hebrew poet who lost his family in the Holocaust. He turned his personal trauma into a broad world view that engages with Western culture, his poetry highlighting correspondences with paintings by Chagall, Bruegel, Holbein, Turner and Rembrandt.
Death and loss are molding experiences in this poet's world. Paint and sculpture masterpieces are signaled as masks, as Ambassadors of Death. Ruebner's poems enable us to examine the tradition of various forms of artistic representation, while addressing the experience of art in a century when God 'hid his face' from the fate of European Jewry. And as Shahar Bram discovers and elaborates, herein lies an exquisite example of the use of ekphrasis--Ruebner using his poetic language medium to explain and process the meaning and messages inherent in a select group of paintings and sculptures of cultural significance.
This important book contributes to the interdisciplinary theory of "word and image", and the history of the relationships between "sister arts". The result is not only a unique perspective of traditional Western art form as reflected in the eyes of a Hebrew survivor of twentieth-century Holocaust atrocities, but, in the words of Ruskin, it is "the expression of one soul [one artistic form] talking to another". The result is a profound understanding of the central principles of word and image art forms.
Charles Olson and Alfred North Whitehead: An Essay on Poetry | Bucknell University Press, 2004
Through a detailed and thoughtful study of the impact of Alfred North Whitehead's philosophy on Olson's aesthetic theory, this book points out the conceptual unity underlying what seems to be a sprawl of fragments in Olson's major work, "The Maximus Poems. It is a systematic analysis of the specific ways in which Whitehead's philosophy offered Olson a way to combine a scientific and mythopoeic view of time and space. From this, Olson constructed a poetic that could renew human contact with the external world and rid poetry of the traditional western imperial ego. The author uses Olson's philosophical investment in Whitehead in order to explain not only the content of Olson's verse, but its formal, structural elements. It illuminates Olson's theory of the Long Poem as an "all-containing" corpus, governed by the metaphysical principles, equal to life itself, enacted in the process of working on "The Maximus Poems."

they that wait upon the Lord
|Song Of The Day
Isaiah 40:31 is a popular Bible verse where God promises a renewal of strength to those who wait upon Him.
Let's face it. Some days it's just really hard to get out of bed. Even after a full night's sleep, we still don't feel rested. We feel weak, not only in our body but in our mind.
The way we feel in our body can determine our thoughts and set our attitude for the day, particularly if we feel poorly, for whatever reason. We have the mind of Christ and we can articulate the verses of the Bible, but when we are weak or sick in our bodies, it can be a half-hearted attempt at overcoming our predicament.
No matter how big our faith is or how Christ-like we are, there are some things that are just too big for us to conquer. We need help. We need a Savior. We need Him to take action, because we're just not getting it done.
Our best sacrifices, biggest faith and greatest hope are powerful forces in the Kingdom of God, but unless (or until) God acts, our situation remains. He is the author and finisher of our faith. He is the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end.
No matter how desperate we are, we cannot move God. There is no magic formula or perfectly worded prayer that "works every time". He is God. He is not programmed like a computer or created like a man.
Acts 17:28 says, "For in him we live, and move, and have our being…" We are completely and utterly dependent upon Him and His mercy. We are "built into Him" if you will.
That's why we must wait upon the Lord, as it says in Isaiah 40:31. We must come to the conclusion that He is completely and totally God, and everything is absolutely out of our control.
It may look like we have certain things under our control, but in fact we do not. Sometimes, we wind up in a position where we become painfully aware of that. No matter how "good" we are, how many "hail Mary's" we've recited or how many prayers we've sent up, He alone is God.
And He will not be moved.When we come to the point of yielding our throne to His, He is much more likely to act. (Isaiah 40:31)
When He acts, we'll know it... click to continue reading

Design implies a conscious effort to create something that is both functional and esthetically pleasing. Design involves problem-solving and creativity. Although a working knowledge of such processes is usually expected of designers. Our designers have a broad multidisciplinary knowledge required for such designs.
Our Web & Design
WEB & DESIGN >>> Graphic Design
The graphic design can refer to a number of artistic and professional disciplines which focus on visual communication and presentation. Various methods are used to create and combine symbols, images and/or words to create a visual representation of ideas and messages. A graphic designer may use typography, visual arts and page layout techniques to produce the final result. Graphic design often refers to both the process (designing) by which the communication is created and the products (designs) which are generated. Common uses of graphic design include magazines, advertisements, product packaging and web design. For example, a product package might include a logo or other artwork, organized text and pure design elements such as shapes and color which unify the piece. Composition is one of the most important features of graphic design especially when using pre-existing materials or diverse elements.

WEB & DESIGN >>> Multimedia Development
Multimedia is media and content that utilizes a combination of different content forms. The term is used in contrast to media which only utilize traditional forms of printed or hand-produced material. Multimedia includes a combination of text, audio, still images, animation, video, and interactivity content forms. Multimedia is usually recorded and played, displayed or accessed by information content processing devices, such as computerized and electronic devices, but can also be part of a live performance. Multimedia is similar to traditional mixed media in fine art, but with a broader scope. The term "rich media" is synonymous for interactive multimedia. Hypermedia can be considered one particular multimedia application.

Would you like to turn your online content into money-making online pages ? Or, do you just want to sell things on eBay with a bit more ease ? Using the services provided through ELITE Solution, you could potentially take care of all these goals.
Typical Design Steps
A design process may include a series of steps followed by our designers. Depending on the product or service, some of these stages may be irrelevant, ignored in real-world situations in order to save time, reduce cost, or because they may be redundant in the situation.
Typical stages of the design process include:
* Pre-production design
* Design brief - a statement of design goals
* Analysis - analysis of current design goals
* Research - investigating similar design solutions in the field or related topics
* Specification - specifying requirements of a design solution for a product (product design specification)
* Problem solving - conceptualizing and documenting design solutions
* Presentation - presenting design solutions
* Design during production o Development - continuation and improvement of a designed solution
* Testing - testing a designed solution
* Post-production design feedback for future designs o Implementation
* Evaluation and conclusion - summary of process and results, including constructive criticism
* Redesign - any or all stages in the design process repeated (with corrections made) at any time before, during,
or after production.
ELITE Solution approaches to design
Our design approach include:
* KISS principle, (Keep it Simple), which strives to eliminate unnecessary design complications.
* There is more than one way to do it (TIMTOWTDI), a philosophy to allow multiple methods of doing the same
* Use-centered design, which focuses on the goals and tasks associated with the use of products.
* User-centered design, which focuses on the needs, wants, and limitations of the end users.
ELITE Solution Design Methods is a broad area that focuses on:
* Exploring possibilities and constraints by focusing critical thinking skills to research and define problem spaces
for existing products or services—or the creation of new categories.
* Redefining the specifications of design solutions which can lead to better guidelines for traditional design
activities (graphic, web, 3D...)
* Managing the process of exploring, defining, creating continually over time
* Prototyping possible scenarios, or solutions that incrementally or significantly improve the business
* Trend spotting, understanding the trend process.
Create your Corporate identity
In marketing, a corporate identity is the "persona" of a corporation which is designed to accord with and facilitate the attainment of business objectives. It is usually visibly manifested by way of branding and the use of trademarks.
In general, this amounts to a corporate title, logo (logotype and/or logogram), and supporting devices commonly assembled within a set of guidelines. These guidelines govern how the identity is applied and confirm approved color palettes, typefaces, page layouts and other such methods of maintaining visual continuity and brand recognition across all physical manifestations of the brand.
Many companies, have their own identity that runs through all of their products and merchandise, and
pay large amounts of money for an identity that is extremely distinguishable, so it can appeal more to its targeted audience.
Corporate identity is often viewed as being composed of three parts:
* Corporate design (logos, uniforms, etc.)
* Corporate communication (advertising, public relations, information, etc.)
* Corporate behavior (internal values, norms, etc.)
Corporate identity has become a universal technique for promoting companies and improving corporate culture. See what ELITE Solution - Web Technologies Company offer to you and your customers.

SOURCE: CFN Media
July 07, 2017 09:00 ET
SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - Jul 7, 2017) - CFN Media Group ("CFN Media"), the leading agency and digital media network dedicated to legal cannabis, today announced publication of an article covering CURE Pharmaceutical Inc.'s (OTCQB: CURR) innovative delivery systems and what they mean for not only the cannabis industry but for drug delivery in general. Drug delivery systems have become increasingly important in the pharmaceutical industry as companies look to beat generic competition. At the same time, the cannabis industry has sought out alternative delivery systems to smoked cannabis that can more effectively deliver cannabinoid compounds to treat a growing range of medical conditions.
Why Drug Delivery?
Drug delivery is an important problem facing the pharmaceutical industry. While pills and capsules have become commonplace, these delivery mechanisms suffer from issues like the inability to target specific parts of the body, slow uptake, and non-compliance. New drug delivery systems use everything from inhalation to intravenous injection to absorption through the skin, with to goal of quickly and effectively solving these problems and better targeting disease.
Delivery mechanisms may also play a bigger role in medicine moving forward. For instance, they may help pharmaceutical companies extend the life of patents by reformulating active ingredients in ways that improve their safety or efficacy profiles compared to generics. Delivery systems may also be used alongside advanced imaging technologies to diagnose and treat diseases in a single step through a relatively new strategy called "theranostics".
CURE Pharmaceutical is a fully integrated specialty pharmaceutical company focused on disruptive proprietary drug delivery technologies for a broad range of molecules serving the biopharmaceutical, veterinarian, medical foods, and pharmaceutical cannabis markets. The company's mission is to deliver proven drugs in a fast and efficient manner to improve patient quality of life across a wide range of potential indications.
Transdermal Technology
CURE Pharmaceutical's innovative transdermal drug delivery platform is designed to deliver therapeutically effective amounts of a drug across a patient's skin. By using vasodilators and proprietary encapsulants, the technology opens the pores sufficiently to enable the passive transport of active ingredients and solvents across the epidermis layer of the skin and into the dermis and subdermal tissue. The idea is to maximize both patient compliance and bioavailability.
"Transdermal drug delivery is one of our proprietary drug delivery technologies that helps us support our mission to improve people's lives by refining how medicines and health products are delivered and experienced," says CEO Rob Davidson. "We expect to experience increased demand for our transdermal products as consumers and the healthcare industry increasingly turn to drug delivery methods that result in improved drug delivery and medication compliance."
Transdermal patches are already widely used across several industries, including the multi-billion dollar market for smoking cessation products and pain management. Improved bioavailability could help make these products even more effective, while potentially expanding the scope of products that could leverage these kinds of delivery mechanisms. The market for these delivery systems is projected to grow 11.6% to reach $95.57 billion by 2025.
Oral Thin Film
CURE Pharmaceutical's CureFilm™ is the most advanced oral thin film on the market with the potential to disrupt multiple industries by leveraging cannabinoids to treat pain, neuropathy, cancer, psychiatric disorders, autoimmune disease, Parkinson's disease, and sleep disorders. Recently, the company partnered with a contract research organization to conduct a transdermal absorption study to prove the speed, variability, duration, and functionality of the delivery matrix.
The technology has several key advantages over other delivery mechanisms, including ease of use, palatability, greater bioavailability, fewer side effects, precision dosing, and stability during transportation and storage. With the cannabis industry projected to exceed $50 billion by 2026, according to Cowen & Co., the company could see tremendous demand for this innovative delivery technology.

This incident happened a few weeks ago but as it was my closest and most perilous encounter to date, I think it deserves to be my first official blog...
As I'm sure some of you are aware (especially those of you that have been to the lodge), walking is an integral part of the bush experience. For those of you less fortunate people who have not visited a lodge, one of the main attractions is a do a walking safari. In other words, its just you and bush. The experience is worlds apart from the vehicle based safari - no humming of engines, no radio crackling in the background and most importantly, no peace of mind that you're in a land rover capable of outrunning all the dangerous animals tht you encounter!
Most of the times, walks produce no animal sightings and its just a chance to get up close and personal with the bush. Listen to the orchestra of bird calls, watch the insects go about their busy daily schedule, learn about trees and their medicinal uses etc. However, there is always the chance that around the next corner, a member of the famed big 5 is awaiting you... To ensure the safety of our guests, we are trained in approaching, though more often bumping, these animals. And the only way to do this is practise, and by putting ourselves purposely in harm's way!
Anyway, to the story... On an afternoon off, myself, Rika (my fioncee), Margueriet (a fellow guide) and Malcolm (our walking encyclopedia and bush mentor) decided to walk to an area where we heard that a male and female lion were seen mating that morning. The is not a good idea under general circumstances as imagine how you would all feel if 4 people walked in on you whilst you were enjoying...well, lets just say, each other. However, this is a very real possibility and whilst every situation is different, experience is key.
So, off we go, armed with two rifles, that myself (leading the walk) and Rika are carrying, and a bag of nerves. The only info we had was that they were close to the road by a 2-track left by an off roading land rover. I have to admit my heart was pounding the adrenaline was beginning to flow like a beer funnel at a frat party! Its amazing how acute your senses become when you're placed in a situation like this - your pick up every movement of the grass in the wind, rustlings in the bushes around you become deafening as you strain for a clue to their position. Within a few minutes we caught a glimpse of the lions lying under a tree about 30 metres from us. Luckily for us they had not seen us and because our view was limited by the vegetation, we decided to walk in a big loop and check fom the other side. Thus far, everything had gone according to plan - we had seen the lions and not been seen, and more importantly my boxer shorts were still unsoiled!
We took note of their position under a small clump of trees and made our way to the other side as planned, stopping every 10metres of so to make sure we were not being hunted by 2 animals quite capable of ripping us apart in seconds. This might be a good time to point out to the safari virgins amoungst you that a male lion can weigh up to 250kgs (I weigh about 80kgs....no fat jokes please!) and can run about 60mph (I cannot run at 60mph...) and lets not forget their teeth and claws (I have 4 fake teeth and bite my fingernails...on paper I'm the slight underdog!). However, after finishing almost a complete circle around their last known location, finishing in the cover of a similar cluster of trees, we had not seen them. This led us to the conclusion that they had moved off without our knowing it. A sensible assumption.
We all started to relax and I, as lead rifle, turned around to Malcolm, and in a normal voice instead of a whisper asked what we should do. What happened next is a bit of a blur as it all happened in the space of a few seconds, but the expression on his face will be etched into my mind til the day I die. He froze and his eyes went so wide, his eyelids almost folded themselves over the top of his head. For a moment I thought he was joking. Then I turned around... Looking at me from a distance of about 4 metres were the 2 lions. The distance is not an exaggeration and I suggest that you all take a moment to pace out 4 metres from where you sit reading this and imagine a male lion standing there in all his maned glory. Also bare in mind that a fully grown male lion would come up to about my chest with his head raised.!
Obviously I am writing this so you can probably work out that we survived. In short, the lions were so fast asleep they had been completely oblivious to our stealthy approach and only woke up when I spoke. Mercifully, we gave them such a fright that they took one look at us, turned tail and ran. I would like to put this down to us being an intimidating sight but I can't. We got very lucky. I could embelish this with graphic details of bowel movements and screaming like (manly) girls but as I said it all happened so quickly that we didn't even have time to raise the rifle to our shoulders, let alone compute what was happening and what we should do! The ran about 50 metres away and turned back to watch us and we made a controlled but hasty extraction from the area.
It was a close call but an invaluable lesson to never drop your guard on a walk as you really don't know what is around the next corner. All it took was for there to be some knee high grass in front of us and we were totally unaware of these mighty cats slumbering in the grass!

If you want a class in your home or place of business at your convenience we can start a class with a minimum of three people -- pick a day and time that fits YOUR schedule!
Students have described their Metta Yoga experience as dynamic, inspirational, thought-provoking, and life-changing. My classes are for beginners who are seeking authentic Yoga with a meditative emphasis, for those who want more than what a public Yoga class can give them, and for dedicated practitioners seeking to expand their practice on a deeper level.
I welcome people of all backgrounds, abilities, genders, and ages (age 16 minimum, please.) I value the idea of "living your Yoga" and believe in the importance of community, diversity, deep self-inquiry, and personal transformation.
"The journey may be led by the mind and body, but it is nothing without the heart."
Metta Yoga is not a yoga studio — private classes are held in my art-filled home surrounded by beautiful gardens near Fermi Lab in Batavia, Illinois. The peaceful room dedicated to Yoga and meditation is a Yoga shala in the purest sense because "shala" means "house" in Sanskrit. The Yoga taught in the Metta Yoga shala is the way Yoga was traditionally taught, in small groups and one-on-one. Yoga is not just an activity but an integral part of my life and students are invited to share the practice with a community of like-minded people, a true Yoga sangha.
Mats, blocks, straps, bolsters, and blankets are provided if you do not have your own. Classes are small so that you receive the teachings in a personal and individualized manner. This is Yoga that makes a difference!
"Your Yoga is the real deal. I love the small, intimate setting of your beautiful space."
Contact me for current pricing if you choose to start a class.

Back in December, Netflix was running what appeared to be a server-side test of a refreshed UI featuring a bottom navigation bar. Now it seems Netflix is rolling out the new interface to some of its beta users, and we finally have an APK download to share too.
The current version of the Netflix app features a hamburger menu that slides out from the left, which lays out a list of user settings, notifications, downloads, My List, and content categories. The search page, which is accessed by tapping the magnifying-glass icon in the top right of the home screen, is blank until you type in a query.
The latest version of the app builds on what we saw in December: All the stuff that used to reside in the slide-out menu is now placed in the bottom bar, which means no more hamburger menu. The Home, Search, Coming Soon, Downloads, and More pages are all accessible via the new bar at the bottom of the screen. The list of content categories is tucked away in the Search page, which seems like a clean, intuitive change. The More page is where you can switch accounts, manage profiles, change app settings, sign out, and administer your account.
Below is a comparison of the old (left) and new (right) interfaces:
Left: old home screen featuring the slide-out hamburger menu; Right: new home screen featuring the bottom nav bar
Left: user settings, notifications, and My List in the old slide-out nav menu; Right: those features accessible on the More page of the new UI
Left: old search page; Right: new search page with content categories listed below the search bar
The Coming Soon page, which is featured in the new bottom nav
Netflix's refreshed app UI with the bottom nav seems to reduce some clutter, and it's a nice improvement overall. If you want to have that bottom bar now, see if it shows up for you by downloading the latest version of the Netflix app from APKMirror.
Rolling out to more users with beta version 6.0.0
UI changes including the bottom navigation bar and removal of sliding hamburger menu are now rolling out to all users on the beta channel. Update to Netflix version 6.0.0, either via the Play Store (if you're signed up for the beta) or by sideloading from APK Mirror, and you'll have the latest interface. Before, only a few beta testers had the new UI, as part of preliminary server-side testing in limited numbers. The refresh is certainly an improvement, especially when using a tall (18-19:9 ratio) device.
Some users are seeing another iteration of this design with two differences - these are server-side, so you may have none, one, or both. First is a new floating action button on the bottom right for Chromecast. It's weird, and is quite different from what we're used to in another apps where the Chromecast button is always on the top. Second is a new navigation menu on the top left with no hamburger icon. Instead, there's the N of the Netflix logo plus a new drop-down box to select between TV shows, movies, and Originals, and browse by genre. Thanks Julian, Vincent.
- Thanks:

In this work, analytical and chemical imaging tools have been applied to the study of a gilded spur found in the medieval necropolis of Erenozar (Bizkaia, Spain). As a first step, a lot of portable equipment has been used to study the object in a non-invasive way. The hand-held energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence equipment allowed us to characterize the artefact as a rare example of an iron matrix item decorated by means of a fire gilding technique. On the other hand, the use of a portable Raman system helped us to detect the main degradation compounds affecting the spur. Afterwards, further information was acquired in the laboratory by analysing detached fragments. The molecular images obtained using confocal Raman microscopy permitted us to characterize the stratigraphic succession of iron corrosions. Furthermore, the combined use of this technique with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) was achieved owing to the use of a structural and chemical analyser interface. In this way, the molecular characterization, enhanced by the magnification feature of the SEM, allowed us to identify several micrometric degradation compounds. Finally, the effectiveness of one of the most used desalination baths (NaOH) was evaluated by comparing its effects with those provided by a reference bath (MilliQ). The comparison proved that basic treatment avoided any side effects on the spur decorated by fire gilding, compensating for the lack of bibliographic documentation in this field.

SACRAMENTO — California's Democratic leaders were planning a vote today on a brazen proposal to raise gas, sales and income taxes through a series of legal maneuvers that would bypass the Legislature's minority Republicans.
The Democratic gambit, announced Wednesday, would raise $9.3 billion to ease the state's fiscal crisis by increasing sales taxes by three-fourths of a cent and gas taxes by 13 cents a gallon, starting in February. The plan would add a surcharge of 2.5% to everyone's 2009 state income tax bill.
It would also require businesses to withhold taxes on payments above $600 made to independent contractors, as they are now required to do with salaried employees.
In addition, the Democrats said they would cut $7.3 billion from schools, healthcare and other programs. Their package would total $18 billion and nearly halve the state's budget shortfall, projected to reach $41.8 billion in the next 18 months.

Mississippi voters decide Tuesday whether or not their constitution should guarantee fully funded public schools in the nation's poorest state.
Initiative 42 is a proposed amendment to Mississippi's constitution that supporters say would "provide for the establishment, maintenance and support of an adequate and efficient system of free public schools." If the state doesn't continue to fund public K-12 schools at these current levels, courts could enforce the amendment to get more money and resources, according to the original filing with Mississippi Secretary of State's office.
Advocates of Initiative 42 collected about 200,000 petition signatures, roughly twice the amount needed to bring the measure for a vote. Now, voters must answer: "Should the State be required to provide for the support of an adequate and efficient system of free public schools?"

Around 11 p.m. on Sunday in San Antonio, a reckless driver caused a three-car collision that left her with injuries.
The woman was driving south on Highway 281, when she began trying to pass cars in front of her by using the emergency lane. She continued to do this until a driver in front of her used their brakes to slow down, and she crashed into the back of their motor vehicle.
Before the reckless driver came to a complete stop with her vehicle, she struck a pick-up truck, and rolled over. The 34-year-old woman was taken to the San Antonio Military Medical Center where she is currently listed in critical condition.
If a reckless driver has caused you injuries, please contact the reckless driving lawyers of Chris Mayo Injury Lawyers by calling (210) 999-9999 today.

Supply Chain Issues at Whirlpool
"We had too much inventory, too little inventory, wrong inventory, right inventory/wrong place, any combination of those things," says J.B. Hoyt, who was then supply chain project director. He says a sales vice president approached him one day and said he'd accept even worse performance from supply systems if they would just be consistent rather than wildly bouncing back and forth between good and poor production and shipping plans.
So in 2001, Whirlpool embarked on a multiproject global overhaul of its supply chain systems. The metaproject remains a work in progress today, with a number of systems yet to be rolled out and some major technical issues to be resolved. But managers at Whirlpool say its success to date -- including huge improvements in customer service and reduced supply chain costs -- is providing the psychological and financial impetus to drive the remaining systems work.
[ Get the latest IT news on the Australian government and businesses in Computerworld's Business & Government newsletter ] Whirlpool CIO Esat Sezer says that by 2000, the company had grown by acquisition and geographic expansion to the point that old systems, stitched together by spreadsheets and manual procedures, couldn't cope with the exploding complexity. "Our supply chain was becoming a competitive disadvantage for us," he says. Availability -- the percentage of time a product is in the right place at the right time -- was an unacceptably low 83 percent, even as inventories remained too high overall.
The homegrown supply systems were primitive and not well integrated with the company's SAP ERP system, which had been installed in 1999, or with a legacy production scheduling system, Sezer says. And they weren't integrated with the systems of major wholesale customers or suppliers of parts and materials. "The plans we were creating weren't linking back into reality," he says.
In particular, Sezer says, supply chain systems weren't fine-grained enough, nor were they very good at juggling priorities and constraints except through slow and cumbersome manual methods. Often, they would optimize locally -- a single product line at one location, for example -- but not for the supply chain as a whole.
Here's what Whirlpool was using for its North American supply chain in 2000:
A homegrown production scheduling system, the Whirlpool Manufacturing Control System (WMCS), which was developed in the mid-1980s and extensively modified over the years. SAP's R/3 ERP system, which was installed in 1999 and used for transaction-processing applications such as accounting and order processing. i2 Technologies' Demand Planner (now called Demand Manager), which was installed in 1997 and used for demand forecasting. A system for distribution planning that was custom-developed for Whirlpool in the 1980s that used optimization software from ILOG. Then, in 2001, Whirlpool began to implement an advanced planning and scheduling (APS) system. It included a suite of supply chain integration and optimization tools from i2 -- Supply Chain Planner for Master Scheduling, Deployment Planning and Inventory Planning. Those three modules, the heart of Whirlpool's efforts to fix its supply chain, went live in three phases over 2001 and 2002. In mid-2002, Whirlpool installed the i2 TradeMatrix Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR) system, a Web-based collaboration tool for sharing and combining the sales forecasts of Whirlpool and its major trade partners -- Sears, Roebuck and Co., Lowe's and Best Buy Co.
The rollout of a component for Web-based collaboration with suppliers, based on SAP's Inventory Collaboration Hub, is just getting under way. And Whirlpool continues to use the old WMCS for production scheduling but plans to replace that...

Lost Salt
Return To Index
Lu 14:16 Then He said to him, "A certain man gave a great supper and invited many, 17 "and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, 'Come, for all things are now ready.' 18 "But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, 'I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.' 19 "And another said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.' 20 "Still another said, 'I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.' 21 "So that servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind.' 22 "And the servant said, 'Master, it is done as you commanded, and still there is room.' 23 "Then the master said to the servant, 'Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. 24 'For I say to you that none of those men who were invited shall taste my supper.'" 25 Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them, 26 "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. 27 "And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. 28 "For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it -- 29 "lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30 "saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.' 31 "Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 "Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace.
33 "So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple. 34 "Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? 35 "It is neither fit for the land nor for the dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"
This is not your typical Good Friday text, but I chose it because it contains some very valuable reminders for us about what the cross means for our own lives. We know what it meant for Jesus. It meant a slow, painful death.
A death where all the wrath of God against sin was poured out on Him. Good Friday should be a very somber occasion for Christians as we see the high price of our sin. God so loved the world that He allowed His only Son to die in our place. He got what we deserved.
Jesus paid the price for our sins and forgiveness and eternal life are freely given to all who receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them he gave the right to become children of God. (Jn 1:12)
In our text, this eternal life is likened to a great supper. This is the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and there has never been or ever will be a Feast such as this when Jesus comes back for His church. And all you have to do to be a part of this magnificent feast is believe and be baptized.
The baptism part is simple enough. In baptism, all the benefits of Christs life,death, resurrection, and ascension are conveyed to the baptized. Its the belief part that gives most of us trouble.
We dont want to admit it, but most of us have this foggy notion of belief. We think our mere acknowledgment of the existence of God is enough. But hey, heres what James had to say about that notion:
Jas 2:19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe--and tremble!
We incorrectly reason that as long as we are basically good people who attend church on a regular or semi-regular basis, we will be just fine on Judgement Day. Again, hear the corrective Word of Scripture on that school of thought:
Isa 64:6 But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away.
The fact is, that belief must encompass a complete selling out to Jesus. A complete forsaking of the things of this world for the sake of following Him. Thats the point of His parable.
Its not that we have to give up the buying and selling of property, or putting our new lawn tractors to the test, or ignore family matters...its just that these things must never become more important than Jesus.
After Jesus tells this parable of spurned invitation, He goes on to explain just what it means to accept the invitation. One of the strongest love bonds in the universe is the affection that one has for their family. Father, mother, spouse, children, brothers, sisters.
And Jesus is asking us here to push that affection and all other affections into second place when compared to our affection for the things of God. If we dont, he flat out says......you cannot be His disciple.....you cannot be a believer.
But thats not all! He goes on to say that we must put an even stronger affection aside.....namely our love of self. He says, and whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.
Now we may try to sugar coat this, but cmon. On this day, when we focus in on the cross of Christ....what are we focusing on? His death! The cross is an instrument of death! And when you bore the cross in Jerusalem in the days of Christ...you were a dead man, plain and simple.
So we must all revisit our baptism on a daily basis and reckon our selves dead. We must bear our cross throughout the days of our baptized lives. We must have more affection for Jesus and the things of God than we have for our own flesh.
We must be willing to start every day and live everyday with the prayer of Romans 12:1,2 on our lips:
Ro 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
This is the cost, all true disciples must count, because its the only thing that will get you through this battle we call life. Its the only thing that will carry you through to the other side. It is the forsaking of all earthly things....that is, putting them in their proper place in respect to God, that constitutes true belief.
Jesus concludes this section with something that at first glance seems out of place. He says:
Lu 14:34 "Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned?
35 "It is neither fit for the land nor for the dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"
Doesnt this reference to salt belong in the beatitudes of Mt 5:13
Mt 5:13 "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
When Jesus first spoke these words about salt He said You ARE. Not you could be or should be, but you are. In other words a true believer will be salt. And if you are not salt, you will be thrown out. Only good for the dunghill.
He emphasizes the importance of this truth by saying, He who has ears to hear, let him hear. In other words....this is vital information for all who would call themselves believers.
The reason Jesus brings this matter of saltiness up in this portion of Luke is so we can understands what it means to be salty. And heres the main thing the Holy Spirit wants us to learn from this passage:
The flavor of a Christian is found in his forsaking all. The flavor (the proof of discipleship and belief) is found in putting Jesus and God above all things. Possessions, family, and even self!
On this Good Friday....look again at the cross. Think of all the things that Jesus forsook in order to make it possible for you and I to receive eternal life. His obedience to and trust of the Father all the way to the cross was proof of this forsaking.
You and I know that it was our sins that put Him on that tree, and we definitely should reflect on that truth on Good Friday, but we also need to examine our own saltiness. Have you forsaken all? Does Jesus hold the number one position in your heart, or have you allowed earthly pleasures, family, and even self to supplant Him on the throne of your heart.
Dont let the benefits of His death, delivered to us in baptism be wasted because of any unsaltiness on our part. When we close our service tonight, we will have a time of silent reflection. During this time, I would ask that we would consider one thing.
Look upon the cross and hear Jesus say to you and I, Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. As we ponder those words, may the Holy Spirit convict us of our sins. May we repent of any lukewarmness in our hearts, and finally, may we be convinced of the depth of His love for us.
For it is our grasp of His love that will enable and empower us to live for Him. As the Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians:
2Co 5:14 For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; 15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.

The new Skipper Limited Edition from TAG Heuer and Hodinkee – some more informations from an interview with Louis Westphalen from Hodinkee, the project man behind this Skipper.
Story short again:
It was the 21 of June 2017, the message runs through the world like a flash – in the break in the middle of a Christies auction with some nice Heuer watches that many members of the watchfamily followed.
What was it? A new Skipper as hommage of the Heuer Skipper 7754 aka "Skipperera" was offered for 5.900 US$ from Hodinkee.com.
All the facts about the watch you can download here the original press release.
It was very surprising, especially after the words "We´ve moved away from yachting." from the French Headquarter in Paris they said to a friend. And we heard Mr. Biver said after the Hodinkee Skipper launch, that no further plans exists. But ok, if money can be earned, it may turn this.
There are some details that might be interesting for you we found out in a talk with Louis Westphalen, the project leader for the Limited Edition Skipper for Hodinkee.

"Sometimes you just have to finddifferent ways to accomplish your goals," said retired Army CaptainTony Odierno of his transition from wounded warrior to operationsexecutive for the New York Yankees.
His inspiring perspective on life came at a high cost. Retired Army Captain Tony Odierno stands on the mound of Yankee Stadium during the 2009 World Series.
On August 21, 2004, Odierno was on patrol in Baghdad when thedoor of his Humvee was struck by arocket-propelled grenade. The26-year-old lieutenant lost his left arm and the driver of hisHumvee, Specialist Kevin Cummings, was killed instantly.
Born in Stuttgart, Germany, Tony is the oldest son of ArmyGeneral Raymond Odierno—commander of U.S. Forces-Iraq.
Young Odierno moved around a lot, attending four different highschools before he was 18.
"I believe [moving around] taught me how to work and relate withall different types of people, which is important no matter whatyou do, but especially important if you are in the military," hesaid of being a military child.
In high school, Tony worked hard, not just to get into WestPoint, but to have the option to do whatever he wanted.
"I didn't always know I wanted to be in the military, but seeingthe satisfaction my dad got from serving certainly influenced mydecision," he said. "I am glad I did because my experiences in themilitary have been extremely rewarding."
Odierno graduated from West Point in 2001 and by 2004 was inIraq with the 1st Cavalry Division near Baghdad InternationalAirport when his vehicle was struck.
"I remember waking up in Walter Reed. I saw an unfamiliarbackpack by my bedside," Odierno recalled. "It said 'WoundedWarrior Project' on it and a feeling of relief swept over me withthe knowledge that I wasn't going to have to do this alone."
During the first year of his recovery and rehabilitation,Odierno participated in a number of programs.
"The Wounded Warrior Project taught me that I could still doeverything I was doing before and gave me the confidence to try newthings, such as triathlons and skiing. I have competed in twotriathlons and an event called 'Soldier Ride,' where I biked fromWashington, D.C., to Montauk, Long Island, to raise money forfellow wounded soldiers," he said.
Odierno received state-of-the-art prosthetics from the Army andeven received a special prosthesis for playing golf. Odierno hasplayed in several tournaments to raise money for woundedwarriors.
On two separate occasions, he returned to Iraq with GeneralPeter Pace, then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"I enjoyed the opportunity to go back, mostly so other soldierscould see someone who was hurt in Iraq and continues to serve inthe military."
Odierno was medically retired from the military in January 2007,and went on to earn an MBA from New York University's Leonard K.Stern School of Business.
Retired Army Captain Tony Odierno stands on the mound of Yankee Stadium with Yankee legend Yogi Berra, First Lady Michelle Obama, and Dr. Jill Biden, to throw out the ceremonial first pitch of game one of the 2009 World Series. U.S. Marine Corps photo.
"My current job with the Yankees came as a result of contacts Imade through the Wounded Warrior Project. I was given theopportunity to present Johnny Damon with a community service awardfor his work with the Wounded Warrior Project at the New YorkSportswriters dinner," Odierno said. "That night I met the [chiefoperating officer] of the New York Yankees."
That meeting led to a paid internship with the club. Followinggraduation, he took a full time position with the "BronxBombers."
The Wounded Warrior Project has had such a huge impact on hislife that he offered to serve as their secretary and treasurer.
"For me, serving on the board of directors was a great way togive back," he said. "As a member of the board, I am able to havean impact on the programs offered to our wounded warriors and thefuture of the organization to ensure that our wounded service menand women are provided with the programs and resources they need tobe successful in life."
Adjusting to life after losing alimb has not been easy, but Odierno realized there were no realobstacles in the way of accomplishing every goal he set for himselfbefore he was hurt—even a few he hadn't set, such as throwing outthe opening pitch of the World Series.
"My advice is not to let anything stop you from achieving yourgoals," said Odierno. "As you go through life, you meet a lot ofroadblocks, one of which for me was losing my arm. But there arealways ways to adapt and overcome."

These are fabulous muffins. Seriously. Definitely worth making!
2 1/2 cups unbleached flour
3/4 cup sugar

1 cup plain yogurt -- room temperature (I used strawberry, very good!)
2 eggs -- slightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups blueberries
Preheat oven to 400°.
Generously grease muffin pans, or use paper liners.
In a large bowl mix flour, sugar, baking powder & baking soda. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or a fork, until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
In a small bowl, stir yogurt until creamy. Blend in eggs & vanilla extract. Pour all at once into flour mixture & stir until flour mixture moistened. Do not overstir. Gently fold in blueberries.
Fill prepared muffin cups 2/3 full. If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with a bit of additional sugar.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from pans immediately. Serve warm.
