There is sense of pause in the air today as I look around the Hallway of Beginnings. Somehow it feels as if something has changed, that the fabric of the Universe has shifted slightly, giving everything a slightly fresher edge. I am reminded of the Looking Glass world of Alice, and how the room inside the mirror was so different to the safety of her home. I cast that thought away, it will not aid me here!, and I look towards the landing, and the doors along its length.
The stairs today, seem to turn in an elegant phrase, the light of the distant windows balanced by the violet shades that embrace the corners and cornices of the Hallway of Beginnings. More chairs seem to have been added, along the wall on the other side of the staircase, and I wonder if other people will eventually join my so far solitary meanderings in to the worlds that have no end. For a second I feel that I can hear some kind of music, or not hear, but perhaps smell, can music have a smell? I can sense music in the silence, and it adds a substance to the air, gives it a form and structure that I have never noticed before….. Resonance. I cease my deductions, and walk up to the landing, my starting point, my stage entrance, the door to another place, and walk into the card that is Adjustment.
I find myself standing in a quiet and dimly lit landscape, it is dark, with only the moon and stars for light, and the silence of the place is vast. A long gracious avenue leads through the beautiful moonlit garden, a tapestry of blues and greys, cobalt and silver that are intimately and elegantly entwined, waltzing through the colonnade of urns and statues that line the marble flagged walkway. What a place, I am mesmerized by the calm meditative beauty of my surroundings, and start to feel even more relaxed than I already am. A profound calm descends, my heartbeat drops and the stretch of my breathing slows and deepens. I continue gently, one slow step at a time, along the road of satin stone, towards a small domed circular Temple like structure, that is situated at the center of the garden. I stand before the building, taking in the balance and poise of its form, the delicate arched roof and the spiral finials and polished globes that adorn it. The pale marble gleams ghostly white in the moonlight and this solitary tabernacle looks for a moment like a ghostly ship, afloat upon an indigo sea, a bastion of calm in an ocean of uncertainty, a place of knowledge, of defiance and balance. As I stand there, the dark shapes of birds, flap quietly away into the darkness, as all extraneous thoughts depart, and I am left with one focus, one mind, and walk quietly up the steps.
I enter her presence, then, for she stands within, the Lady of the card, Adjustment stands within.
Poised upon the tip of a great sword, she is an inscrutable and alluring figure, swathed in cobalt silk and masked with ebony.
At a point of perfect balance, she is equity and perfection, Alpha and Omega, beginning and end, measuring life and death in the scales of Maat. She is suspended energy, pure thought, the embodiment of meditation. As I stand, absorbing the magical presence of this gracious figure, I feel a kind of release within me… it seems as if every cell in my body is starting to rise up against gravity, to sit suspended in pure light. There is no focus, I feel as if I am completely weightless, without form or density, I feel that I have become one with the universe, and drift effortlessly, although I move nowhere, and feel as if I am sinking towards the center of my cells, towards that spark of divine fire within every particle that I am. As above, so below, I feel as if I am embracing my divinity, embracing Adjustment within my soul.
I stand for what seems like an eternity, drifting in a state of universal consciousness, the blood in my veins populated with a galaxy of suns, I am at one, at a point of stillness, a perfect balance.
Unlike other journeys, this vision slowly fades from me, there is no departure, no trumpeting fanfare, no silken hung portal. Like the dawn breaking across the starry sky, the magical garden fades slowly into grey, softly erasing the temple of Adjustment. I slowly become aware of the seat I am in, I have even bypassed The Hallway of Beginnings, and I am sat at home, in the cosy red chair by the fireside. Things are different now though, in some small way, the magic has been woven, I am adjusted, I am balanced, I have embraced my future.

This paper analyses the long-memory properties of US and European stock indices, as well as their linkages, using fractional integration and fractional cointegration techniques. These methods are more general and have higher power than the standard ones usually employed in the literature. The empirical evidence based on them suggests the presence of unit roots in both the Standard and Poor's 500 Index and the Euro Stoxx 50 Index. Also, fractional cointegration appears to hold at least for the subsample from December 1996 to March 2009 ending when the global financial crisis was still severe; subsequently, the US and European stock markets diverged and followed different recovery paths, possibly as a result of various factors such as diverging growth and monetary policy. Establishing whether the degree of cointegration has changed over time is important because past literature has shown that diversification benefits arise when markets are not cointegrated.

How Samsung found its way to the top
Keywords:Japan companies memory chips consumer electronics multiple-sourcing strategies
Today, according to Yun, Samsung each year hires as many as 5,000 employees—90 per cent are engineers, many with bachelor's degrees or higher. Astonishing to every company that deals with Samsung are its almost bottomless engineering resources.
"Samsung has as many as 20 different engineering teams—all working in parallel—set out to solve the same problem," said Fisher, recalling the days when he was pitching his former company's UWB technology to Samsung.
A senior executive at a mobile TV technology company, who spoke on condition of anonymity, agreed. "If you work with Nokia Corp., you know exactly where your project stands. Unless someone makes a very good case that a particular handset design wouldn't work, the handset model you're in won't get cancelled." In contrast, of 70 to 90 handset projects under way in parallel at Samsung at any given time, only 25 per cent will reach the commercial market. "That's a luxury Nokia wouldn't have," the executive said.
Several industry sources attributed Samsung's success to the cost of engineering.
In South Korea, top graduates of the nation's best engineering schools can take an exam and apply for a job at major technology companies, including Samsung. Once accepted, they work for three years in exchange for waiving mandatory two-year military service. If they work at Samsung, their salaries are subsidised by the Korean government.
Yun confirmed the practice but downplayed its significance. The number of students who qualify for this programme is limited to 100 annually, he said. Considering the huge number of engineers the company hires every year, that's a drop in the bucket.
Sourcing strategies
Samsung also practises multiple-sourcing strategies.
"I've seen Samsung purchase GSM/GPRS base band chips from several different vendors, like Agere, SkyWorks and Broadcom," said Will Strauss, CEO of Forward Concepts. "I couldn't understand how Samsung could afford to have three or more parallel design efforts to reach the same end product." Similarly in 3G, Samsung is using "Broadcom, Qualcomm and Infineon base band chips in various 3G handsets," Strauss said. "Again, three parallel design efforts to reach the same end product."
Richard Doherty, principal of Envisioneering, offered another view. "Managers at Samsung are paranoid about losing a product to a chip source delay or blockage," he said. That may explain why Samsung insists on staying with the vertically integrated manufacturing model.

Virgin already offer its UK customers a maximum speed of 50Mb for £38 a month. Later this year Virgin will be able to offer 100Mb to customers and even 200Mb to some customers. Virgin is already testing 200Mb broadband speeds in some parts of the UK. The UK cable network has changed hands so many times, originally implemented by NYNEX, moving on to Cable and Wireless, then NTL/Telewest and now Virgin. It seems Virgin has the right recipe though as its revenues are up and has a 4.1 million customer base for its broadband services. Whilst Virgin have not ruled out the use of traffic management it is hard to see how Virgin will be able to offer its 100Mb service if the service is popular. Share On

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.Background
The 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70) began in 1970 when data were collected about the births and families of babies born in the United Kingdom in one particular week in 1970. The first wave, called the British Births Survey, was carried out by the National Birthday Trust Fund in association with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. Its aims were to examine the social and biological characteristics of the mother in relation to neonatal morbidity, and to compare the results with those of the National Child Development Study (NCDS), which commenced in 1958 (held separately at the UK Data Archive under GN 33004). Participants from Northern Ireland, who had been included in the birth survey, were dropped from the study in all subsequent sweeps, which only included respondents from Great Britain.
Since BCS70 began, there have been seven full data collection exercises in order to monitor the cohort members' health, education, social and economic circumstances. These took place when respondents were aged 5, in 1975 (held under SN 2699), aged 10, in 1980 (SN 3723), aged 16, in 1986 (SN 3535), aged 26, in 1996 (SN 3833), aged 30, 1999-2000 (SN 5558), and aged 34, in 2004-2005 (SN 5585). The first two sweeps (at 5 and 10 years) were carried out by the Department of Child Health at Bristol University. During these times, the survey was known as the Child Health and Education Study (CHES). The 16-year survey was carried out by the International Centre for Child Studies and named Youthscan. A supplementary survey of head teachers (held separately under SN 5225) was also conducted at the time of the 16-year follow-up in 1986. The Social Statistics Research Unit (SSRU) became involved with the BCS70 study at this time, and eventually changed its name to the Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS), based at the Institute of Education, University of London. As well as BCS70, the CLS now also conducts the NCDS series.
With each successive attempt, the scope of BCS70 has broadened from a strictly medical focus at birth, to encompass physical and educational development at the age of 5, physical, educational and social development at the ages of 10 and 16, and physical, educational, social and economic development at 26 years and beyond.
Response and Deaths datasets:
A separate dataset covering response to BCS70 over waves is available under SN 5641, 1970 British Cohort Study Response Dataset, 1970-2012. There is also as separated dataset covering deaths of cohort members available under SN 8006, 1970 British Cohort Study Deaths Dataset, 1970-2014: Special Licence Access. Users are advised to order these studies alongside the other waves of BCS70.
Sub-sample surveys
In addition to the full cohort studies, four sub-sample surveys have been carried out. The first two, carried out in 1972 and 1973 and collectively named the British Births Child Survey, (held under SNs 2666 and 2690) followed sub-samples of the original cohort at ages 22 months and 42 months. The sub-samples consisted of all twins in the original cohort, the 'small-for-dates' and 'post-mature' births, and a 10% random sample of the original cohort. The third sub-sample survey (not currently held at the UKDA) was carried out in 1977 when 1,917 non-respondents from the five-year survey were traced and interviewed in an attempt to assess the effect of non-response. In 1992, when the cohort members were aged 21 years, a 10% sample survey (held under SN 4715) was carried out, that focused on adult literacy and numeracy problems as well as the transition from school to work.
Further information about the BCS70 can be found on the Centre for Longitudinal Studies website.
A related study, Coding of Text Data from BCS70 at 10 and 16 Years: Health Care Utilisation of School Aged Children, 1970-1986, is also held under SN 4126. The aim of this project was to code text variables from BCS70 files, selected from the 10- and 16-year follow-ups to provide information about health care utilisation by the target age group.
How to access genetic and/or bio-medical sample data from a range of longitudinal surveys:
A useful overview of the governance routes for applying for genetic and bio-medical sample data, which are not available through the UK Data Service, can be found at Governance of data and sample access on the METADAC (Managing Ethico-social, Technical and Administrative issues in Data Access) website.
|BCS70 County Data, 1986-2012: Special Licence Access
This dataset contains geographic county data from the BCS70 follow-up surveys conducted between 1986-2012, which are held under SNs 3535, 3833, 5558, 5585, 6557 and 7473.
These geographic county data are only available under a Special Licence, which has more restrictive access conditions than the standard End User Licence (EUL) used for the main BCS70 datasets (see 'Access' section below). Please contact the HelpDesk for further details. Users who make a successful application for the county data will also need to download the main EUL BCS70 datasets listed above to match the counties to them.

Please note:
Since these data pose a higher risk of disclosure than data made available under the standard End User Licence they have additional special conditions attached to them that take the form of a Special Licence (SL). The SL requires the completion of an additional application form, agreement to the conditions of the SL, the signature(s) of the researcher(s), and the explicit permission of the data owners to release the data to the researcher(s). This is to ensure that the guarantee of confidentiality given to survey respondents is protected. SL applications are screened by the UK Data Archive and the data owners and data are only released to those researchers requiring data for statistical research purposes and who can justify their need for the SL data.
Researchers are required to keep the data under conditions of greater security than required under the standard End User Licence. The Microdata Handling and Security: Guide to Good Practice explains how to meet these conditions.

IRS Approves VDI & BYO for Remote Access to FTI Systems
Faster, simpler and more secure tax reporting is now achievable for federal, state and local agencies thanks to new Internal Revenue Service (IRS) guidelines.
While virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) was previously approved by the IRS for remote access to Federal Tax Information (FTI), the September 2016 release of IRS Pub 1075 adds the approval for the use of personally-owned devices to remotely access FTI via VDI.
This is great news for federal, state, and local agencies seeking to increase security and compliance, extend access, improve productivity and lower costs by leveraging VDI and personally-owned devices for access to FTI via the VMware Secure Digital Workspace for Government.
A Single, Secure Solution
The Secure Digital Workspace for Government—powered by VMware Workspace ONE—is a transformative end-user computing (EUC) solution for agencies seeking to:
- Modernize IT infrastructure;
- Strengthen data security;
- Ensure Continuity of Operations (COOP); and
- Mobilize agency workflows to advance missions.
VMware's Digital Workspace for Government solution integrates identity, application and enterprise mobility management into secure, unified employee workspaces available across any computing environment.
As part of the solution, VMware Horizon technology streamlines the delivery, protection and management of virtual desktops and applications. Horizon also helps contain costs and ensures that end users can work anytime, anywhere and across any device. The solution transforms static desktops into secure, digital workspaces that can be delivered on demand.
IT can easily provision virtual or remote desktops and applications through a single VDI and application virtualization platform, streamlining management and easily entitling end users—while ensuring data protection. Agency IT teams can also consolidate the control, delivery and protection of EUC resources with policies that dynamically adapt to the user's computing environment—whether that's a VDI desktop or agency-owned or BYO device.
Extending Mobility Investment
The IRS update is welcome news to agencies already investing in mobility.
Mecklenburg County in North Carolina deployed VMware technologies to securely mobilize and empower nearly 6,000 county employees. As part of the North Carolina county's "One Person, One Device" initiative, executives, social workers, parks and recreation employees and food service inspectors use phones, tablets and virtual desktops to securely access and input information on the go. Now, more productive employees reach and serve constituents more effectively, while delivering the county an average of $3.2 million per year in cost avoidance.
Watch the Mecklenburg County video here.
All Tax Reporting Agencies Benefit
Your agency can benefit from digital workspace technology, too. Click here to learn more about VMware's solutions for federal government and to schedule a custom demo.

IRVINGTON, N.Y. -- Main Street School raised more than $1,400 for the Malala Fund through proceeds from concession sales and entry fees to a screening of the documentary "He Named Me Malala" on April 26.
"Thank you to everyone who joined us for the screening," Principal Joyce Chapnick said. "We had more than 200 people in attendance and the fundraiser was a tremendous success. We raised $716, which was matched by a Main Street School family, and we'll be sending the Malala Fund a check for $1,432."
The Malala Fund is named for Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate. In 2012, when she was only 15 she survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban opposed to her efforts.
The goal of the Malala Fund is to enable girls to complete 12 years of safe, quality education so that they can achieve their potential and be positive change- makers in their families and communities.
Following the screening, Sarah Costa, executive director of the Women's Refugee Commission, facilitated a conversation regarding the issues raised in the film. Costa oversees the commission's research and advocacy work to protect and empower women, children and youth displaced by conflict and crisis.
"A special thank-you to the members of the student committee who met before school to plan the event and then did a fabulous job of running it," Chapnick said. "Thanks to the parents and MSS staff for helping with the event."
The students who assisted with the event were Becca Boritz, Sahana Harsha, Emma Jee, Katelyn Jee, Sofia Martinez, Maren Piersol, Maya Phillips, Tara Phillips, Ava Rubin, Talia Ruoff, Alessia Squires, Meera Verma, Dylan Wels and Samantha Wilson.

2 t. pepper
4 t. TOTAL of spices, including dried savory, rubbed sage, thyme and/or rosemary, etc.
2 pears, apples and/or oranges
1 large onion and celery rib, quartered
1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup orange marmalade
3/4 cup orange juice
1 T. honey
In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper and other favorite spices. Rub 1 tablespoon of seasoning mixture inside turkey cavity. Place the fruit, onion and celery in turkey cavity; tie drumsticks together. Place breast side up in a roasting pan. Combine butter and remaining seasonings; brush over turkey. Bake at 325 degrees for 10 minutes per pound with a foil tent over top.
Meanwhile, combine marmalade, orange juice and honey in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Set aside and keep warm.
Remove tent of foil. Bake 2-5 minutes per pound longer, until meat thermometer reads 165 to 170 degrees. Brush occasionally with orange glaze during the last 30-60 minutes of cooking time. Cover and let stand 15 minutes before carving. Gravy can be made with the juices (the best gravy ever!!!)
Grilled Apple-Brined Turkey
2 quarts unsweetened apple juice
2-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup kosher salt
4 ounces fresh gingerroot, peeled and thinly sliced
15 whole cloves
6 garlic cloves, crushed
3 bay leaves
3 medium oranges, quartered
3 quarts cold water
1 DV Farm turkey (approx. 12-14 lbs.)
2 T. vegetable oil
In a large kettle, combine the first seven ingredients. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until salt and sugar are dissolved. Stir in oranges. Remove from the heat. Add cold water to cool the marinade to room temperature.
Remove giblets from the turkey (discard or save for another use). Place a turkey-sized oven roasting bag inside a second roasting bag; add turkey. Carefully pour cooled marinade into bag. Squeeze out a much air as possible; seal bags and turn to coat. Place in a roasting pan or other large container. Refrigerate 18-24 hours, turning occasionally.
Prepare grill for indirect heat. Drain and discard brine. Rinse turkey under cold water; pat dry. Rub oil over skin. Skewer turkey openings; tie drumsticks together.
Place breast side up on a rack in a disposable foil roasting pan. Grill, covered, over indirect low heat for 1 hour. Tent turkey with foil; grill 1 hour longer or until meat thermometer inserted in the thigh reads 165 to 170 degrees. Remove from heat; cover and let stand for 15 minutes before carving.
Grilled Turkey Wings
6 cups water
1/4# kosher salt
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
3/4 T. dried red pepper flakes
3/4 T. dried sage
small bunch fresh thyme
2 to 4 cloves garlic, to taste, crushed
2 pkg. DV Farm turkey wings
In a medium pan, bring 3 cups water and kosher salt to a boil. Boil and stir until salt is dissolved. Remove from heat. Add molasses, honey, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, sage, thyme and garlic to the salt/water mixture; allow to cool. Add the remaining 3 cups of water (very cold water).
Remove your turkey wings from the package and cut each into three pieces, discarding the wing tip. From two packages of Dominion Valley Farm wings, you will have a total of 8 pieces. Place these pieces into a large bowl. Pour your liquid mixture over the turkey pieces. They need to be completely submerged, so add more water until they are covered. Put a plate or other heavy glass dish over the top to hold the turkey wings into the liquid. Cover bowl with siran and place in the fridge for 12-24 hours.
Remove the turkey wing pieces from the liquid and pat to dry. Fire up the grill on low, and barbeque your wings for approx. 30 minutes. Remove to a platter and cover with foil. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes. Now...devour!!!
Brined wings can be baked in the oven also, 350 degrees, approx. 30 minutes.
Oh-So Creamy Turkey Soup
1 pkg. DV Farm turkey legs and 1 pkg. DV Farm turkey wings
(OR one leftover Thanksgiving turkey carcass with some meat works great!)
4 quarts water
1 cup butter
1 cup flour
3 onions, chopped
2 large carrots, diced
4 ribs celery, diced
2 cups rice, cooked
2 t. salt
3/4 t. pepper
2 cups half & half (or milk)
Place turkey and water in stockpot or Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Remove meat and bones from broth, set aside to cool. You should have approximately 3 quarts of broth; if not, add water to equal 3 quarts. Melt butter in large pan; add flour and cook over medium heat, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Stir onion, carrot and celery into roux; cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring often. While this is cooking, remove turkey meat from the bones, discarding bones and skin. Cut turkey into bite-sized pieces; set aside.
Now, add the vegetable/roux mixture into broth in stockpot. Add salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20-30 minutes until veggies are tender. Add turkey, cooked rice and half & half into your soup, heat through. This is a wonderfully thick soup, but you certainly may add a bit more water to taste.
Totally yummy!
Herb-Roasted Turkey Breast
1 DV Farm bone-in turkey breast, 3-5 pounds
1-2 teaspoons minced garlic (1-2 cloves)
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon good olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup dry white wine
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the turkey breast, skin side up, on a rack in a roast pan.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic, mustard, herbs, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice to make a paste. Loosen the skin from the meat gently with your fingers and smear half of the paste directly on the meat. Spread the remaining paste evenly on the skin. Pour the wine into the bottom of the roasting pan.
Roast the turkey for approx. 20 minutes per pound, until the skin is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest and meatiest areas of the breast. If the skin is over-browning, cover the breast loosely with aluminum foil. When the turkey is done, cover with foil and allow it to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. Slice and serve with the pan juices spooned over the turkey.
Thank you, Periann, for sharing this wonderful recipe!

Turkey Recipes
Savory-Spicy Barbecued Turkey Legs
4 DV Farm turkey drumsticks
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chili sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1-1/2 T. Worcestershire sauce

Farmer Brandon says he's never had turkeys legs "so good!" I guess he's used to the dried-out drumsticks that often come with baking a whole turkey 4-5 hours. These are moist and delicious!
Turkey Leg Pot Roast
3 medium potatoes, quartered
2 cups fresh baby carrots
2 celery ribs, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 medium onion, quarters
3 garlic cloves, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup chicken broth

Shemhazai is the current Governor General of the Fallen Angels and Grigori, succeeding Azazel who previously held the position. He is also close friends with Azazel and Baraqiel.
Shemhazai has the appearance of a handsome man in his twenties, with silver-white hair and purple eyes. His outfit consists of a purple beret hat, purple trench coat over a black vest, white pants and black boots. Being the Governor General of the Fallen Angels and Grigori, Shemhazai possesses ten black wings.
Shemhazai is extremely loyal to Azazel, being one of his best friends. Despite so, Shemhazai doesn't hesitate to punish Azazel when he does something stupid.
Like the rest of the leaders of the Fallen Angels, Shemhazai lost his place in the Fifth Heaven after having sex with a human woman and became a Fallen Angel as punishment from God. He then joins the Grigori, an organization created by Azazel mainly for the Fallen Angels. Shemhazai is one of the survivors of the Great War and has since assisted Azazel in reforming Grigori and his Sacred Gear research. He married a Devil woman at some point before the series and is expecting to have a child soon.
The Red Dragon Emperor's AwakeningEdit
Shemhazai was mentioned by Raynare in Volume 1, alongside Azazel.
Birth of the Breast Dragon EmperorEdit
Shemhazai appears in Volume 4 when Azazel was contacting him and warns him that there were subordinates who didn't think too kindly of the peace treaty that Azazel formed with the Angels and Devils. Azazel, however, shrugs away Shemhazai's worries and asked about Shemhazai's unborn child, telling Shemhazai to take good care of his wife and child, believing that Shemhazai's child will become the bridge between Devils and Fallen Angels.
In Volume 7, Shemhazai contacted Issei after sending Genshirou Saji to the battlefield. He explained how Saji received three more of Vritra's Sacred Gears and that he was unstable in his new form.
The Heroic Oppai DragonEdit
At the end of Volume 12, Shemhazai was promoted to the Governor General of Grigori after Azazel stepped down from his post.
Powers & AbilitiesEdit
Immense Strength: As the current Governor*General and former Vice Governor General of the Fallen Angels, Shemhazai can create weapons of light with ease, and wields power equivalent to a Satan-Class Devil. In fact, even before his promotion to Governor General, Shemhazai is known to be one of the few Fallen Angels that has strength equivalent to Azazel himself.
Skillful Advisor: According to Azazel, Shemhazai is capable of giving better advice than him.
Light-Based Weapons: Being a Fallen Angel, Shemhazai is able to form weapons from light with ease.
Flight: Being a Fallen Angel, Shemhazai is able to fly using his wings.
- Shemhazai means "the (or my) name has seen" or "he sees the name".

A man from Agawam, Massachusetts, recently pleaded guilty to possessing the deadly toxin ricin and to threatening a federal prosecutor.
Michael Crooker entered his plea in Boston to one count of possessing a toxin without the proper registration and one count of mailing a letter containing a threat to injure an officer or employee of the United States, according to Boston.com.
Crooker's home was raided in 2004 after federal agents intercepted what appeared to be a firearm silencer that Crooker had tried to send in through the mail.
Agents conducted a search of his apartment and found an apparent weapons lab with chemicals capable of making powerful explosives. They also found castor seeds, the precursor to ricin, and abrus seeds, from which the poison abrin is derived, Boston.com reports. Crooker had the necessary equipment to make both toxins.
Upon finding the material, 50 residents were evacuated from Crooker's apartment complex and police closed off all public access within 1,000 feet of Crooker's apartment.
In response to his arrest and the raid on his home, Crooker sent a letter to the U.S. attorney that was prosecuting his case.
"As Martyr McVeigh's T-shirt says: The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with blood of patriots and tyrants," the letter said, according to U.S. Attorney Charles M. Ortiz.
In August 2004, Crooker's father dug up a buried vial of powdered ricin on his property, Boston.com reports. Crooker later admitted that the ricin was his and said it had been there for three to four years. There was enough poison in the vial to kill hundreds of people.
Crooker will be sentenced on June 20. He faces up to 15 years in prison and $500,000 in fines. As part of the plea agreement, Ortiz told Boston.com, all parties will recommend the maximum sentence.

The electronic challenges are driven by increasing speed, density, and power consumption of ICs, PCBs and electronic systems. The increasing geometric complexity is driven by decreasing size and the increased influence of industrial design which requires handling of complex shapes. The FloTHERM XT technology efficiently interconnects mechanical design automation (MDA) and electronic design automation (EDA) domains and addresses the needs of design engineers as well as thermal specialists.
This electronics cooling simulation solution enables earlier virtual prototyping, fewer design iterations, and advanced what-if analysis for improved product quality and faster time-to-market benefits. Key markets where the FloTHERM XT product can benefit design teams from components to systems of electronic applications are industries such as automotive, aerospace, telecommunications, computing, industrial automation and consumer electronics.
In support of our design consultancy business, FloTHERM XT empowers us to perform thermal analysis throughout our clients design process. We are now able to start optimizing designs from the early concept stage and, using the same data model, can continue to support our clients with increasing levels of sophistication and shape complexity as they progress onto the verification/prototype phase and prepare a fully vetted design ready for manufacturing said Guy Wagner, director, Electronic Cooling Solutions.
Combining the electronics cooling DNA from the Mentor Graphics® Corporations market-leading FloTHERM® thermal analysis software, and Concurrent Computational Fluid Dynamic (Concurrent CFD) technology from the FloEFD product, the FloTHERM XT solution offers the power and performance to solve complex electronics systems design problems. The products easy-to-use interface is fully configurable so new users can customize the functionality features on the screen, providing a scalable user experience that can be adapted as the needs of the design project change.
Imported or CAD-generated geometries work seamlessly with the FloTHERM XTs SmartPart library of models, and automatic meshing and data convergence provide significant reduction in execution times. It also provides an easy and intuitive direct interface to enterprise platforms such as the market-leading Mentor Expedition® Enterprise solution. The direct integration of the FloTHERM XT product with PCB design flows will reduce time-consuming data translation and costly errors. As a result, FloTHERM XT is the only solution on the market that allows engineers to work effortlessly with geometry created in the MDA or EDA world.
Our FloTHERM XT technology was developed to support todays most innovative electronics components and systems, stated Erich Buergel, general manager of Mentor Graphics Mechanical Analysis Division. We have combined our best-in-class technologies from FloTHERM and FloEFD with an easy-to-use interface that will serve both the MDA and EDA worlds, and we believe FloTHERM XT will be a game-changer in electronics cooling due to the ease with which MDA and EDA data can be used to create the single best design.

Technavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the global nematicides market: Bayer, Dow Chemical, FMC, Syngenta, and Valent BioSciences.
Other Prominent Vendors in the market are: AMVAC Chemical, BioWorks, Isagro, ISHIHARA SANGYO KAISHA, and Marrone Bio Innovations.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from Technavios team said: The latest trend gaining momentum in the market is Growing prominence of organic farming. Organic farming can be defined as the cultivation of crop and agricultural feedstock, without using the crop enhancement chemicals such as fertilizers, pesticides, antibiotics, and genetically modified organisms.
This methodology is mainly developed for a harmless and sustainable environment. Cover crops, crop rotation, and the composed relationship between host and predator are some of the beneficial factors of organic farming.
Another supporting factor regarding organic farming is that organic nutrients and residues, which are produced, are again recycled back to the soil.
Request Sample Copy of the Report @ marketreportscenter.com/request-sample/554577
According to the report, one of the major drivers for this market is Increasing adoption of bio-based nematicides. Bio-based nematicides are generally bacterial or fungal spores along with inert materials.
The microbial spores incorporated in bio-nematicides germinate and seize the growth of nematodes. Bio-based nematicides have several advantages such as no residue leftover, no resistance development, and excellent activity.
These advantages make them favored in the market. Bionematicides are widely attracting attention as a core part of the crop protection system.
The easy availability of raw materials for bio-based nematicides is the key advantage for the segment. The low cost of manufacturing of bio-based products is also increasing their demand and consumer concentration
Further, the report states that one of the major factors hindering the growth of this market is Decreasing arable land. The rapid increase in the global population and decreasing area of farming land are key concerns for the agricultural sector.
In 1950, the available area for arable land was more than the population. However, the growth in the urbanization and industrialization had steadily decreased the amount of arable land.
Inappropriate, unplanned, and illegal agricultural practices and deforestation have led to the significant decrease in arable lands. Owing to these reasons, the arable land and the crop yield has dramatically decreased over the period of time.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
About Nematicides
Nematodes are invertebrates. They are bilaterally symmetric and non-segmented worms. Typically, nematodes freely live in the soil and water.
They are common parasites of plants and animals, including humans. These organisms cause infectious cause crop diseases, resulting in approximately 12.9% of the overall crop damage on an average.
Developing countries are more prone to nematode crop damage than developed countries. It is mainly due to the difference in the consumption of crop protection chemicals.
View Report @ marketreportscenter.com/reports/55…-market-2017-2021
Technavios analysts forecast the global nematicides market to grow at a CAGR of 3.79% during the period 2017-2021.

GMAC Inc.'s chief executive Michael A. Carpenter sought to reassure investors — as his predecessor Alvaro de Molina did before him — that the bleeding at its Residential Capital LLC has stopped.
ResCap's net loss swelled to $4 billion in the fourth quarter, pushing its parent company back into the red. The mortgage unit had lost $9.2 billion over the previous eight quarters and was the main reason GMAC received $3.8 billion from the Treasury Department in December, on top of roughly $13.5 billion from two previous federal bailouts. (The government has a 56% stake in GMAC.)
On a conference call Thursday, Carpenter said GMAC expects to "fully resolve the challenges related to ResCap and the legacy mortgage business to minimize its impact on the company."
"You will see steady progress month by month, quarter by quarter," said Carpenter, who was named CEO in November after de Molina resigned.
Part of the reason for such optimism is that in December, GMAC marked down certain loans to 40 cents on the dollar, from 70 cents, and transferred the assets from the Ally Bank unit to ResCap, resulting in a $2.6 billion loss in the quarter.
"We expect the majority of the losses related to legacy assets are behind us," Robert Hull, GMAC's chief financial officer, said on the call.
Ceki Aluf Medina, a senior investment analyst at Scottwood Capital Management LLC in Greenwich, Conn., said it remains unclear whether GMAC wants to keep its servicing rights or just sell off its legacy loans. "I think they're going to sell" ResCap, "at least parts of it, which is why most of the loans are now held-for-sale," he said. (Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is reportedly interested in buying ResCap.)
Liquidity is still an issue, analysts said. On the call, Doug Carson, an analyst at Bank of America Securities Inc., questioned how GMAC planned to pay off roughly $1.3 billion in bonds that are scheduled to mature in June. "Help us outline the game plan for those bonds," Carson asked on the call.
"We will continue to make contributions to ResCap to bolster their liquidity, as needed," Hull responded, adding that ResCap had roughly $900 million in cash at yearend and the legacy loans now are marked to fair value and could be sold. "There are many ways to raise liquidity."
Another looming concern is whether the $573 million repurchase reserve expense taken in the fourth quarter is enough given that mortgage lenders are being assaulted with buyback requests from secondary market investors.
"The mortgage industry has seen a material rise in claims for breaches of reps and warranties," Hull acknowledged.
Aluf Medina said ResCap may not have set aside enough for future liabilities.
In the game of hot potato between the investors holding soured loans and their originators, "ResCap is on the defending side, so you typically show expected liabilities on the low end."
On the bright side, deposit growth continued at GMAC's $52 billion-asset Ally Bank despite what Hull described as "some headwinds" from competitors, since the bank can no longer offer the highest rates. (Last year the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. told Ally to rein in its pricing.) Ally's deposits jumped 56% from a year earlier, to $31.1 billion.
All told, GMAC swung to a loss of $5 billion from a profit of $7.5 billion a year earlier. Its flagship auto lending business generated a $309 million profit in the most recent quarter.

It was my aunt's birthday!! And so to celebrate we had dinner at Harvester's
The next day, we hopped on a train to Waterloo.
Grabbed something to eat and laid our picnic blanket on the grass
and soaked up all that sun. For once, the weather was perfect.
what a view right?
Time for group pictures.
Then to the final event of the day, visited Sea Life!!
We saw so much at Sealife. From Nemo to Dory to massive sharks to crocs to penguins...! Too bad I didn't have the right camera lens to capture all of them!
Before going home, of course we took portraits of THE Big Ben.
Then, ended the day with sushi.
Happy birthday, Taj!

pip online for you to try
i found this helpful
give it a go i did and i was very happy at the end as it told my daughter would get both enhanced but still have to wait and see ,
It is always a good idea to contact your local Citizens Advice (https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/about-us/how-we-provide-advice/advice/search-for-your-local-citizens-advice) when making a PIP claim, as they can provide help with completing the PIP claim form. The language on the form can be confusing and it is always advisable to take advantage of that free support, given that when completing it yourself there is a greater risk of rejection. Also see: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/pip/help-with-your-claim/fill-in-form
Good luck with your application.

Proverbs 18:21
" Death and life are in the power of the tongue:
and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."
We as the body of Christ have got to keep death out of our mouths. The enemy is using it to bring about death and destruction. He CANNOT kill us!!!!!!!!! We are authorizing and cosigning his plan when we speak words of death.
We are called to speak life. We are called to speak words of life. Death was never meant to be in our vocabulary.
Don't forfeit your life by allowing the enemy to get into your mouth. When we allow the enemy access to our words we give him access into our lives, situations and circumstances. Then every demon in hell attaches itself to that word to bring it to pass.
I pray that you would reveal to your people the words of death that we have spoken in order for words of life to be spoken and decreed so that correction can take place bringing about life, health and wellness.
In Jesus Name,
