Overwhelming poverty, a single mother trying to raise Thom Miller and his brother, violence and crime is how Miller described his childhood and teen life.
With no father figure, Miller said he began running with the wrong crowd, got into drugs – first using them then selling and distributing them and collecting money for people in organized crime.
Those actions put him in prison with charges of felonious assault. He had stabbed a biker through the heart.
"Now, I bring bikers into prison," Miller said Saturday as he motioned at the 30-35 bikers who had joined him inside the walls at the North Central Correctional Institution in Marion for a bike rally as a prison ministry he had founded called Special Visit Ministry and which he does in 11 states and Peru. Miller, himself, was a prisoner at NCCI and released nine years ago.
Bikers joining Miller Saturday came from seven different Christian biker groups and from such places as Bucyrus, Mansfield, Galion, Toledo, Bradner, Ashland and two flew in from Arizona. Their purpose for such visits Miller said is to provide hope and friendship. Each of them bring Bibles and faith-based books for the prisoners.
"We show them our scars," Miller said. "We all have scars – physical and emotional. When we come in and the inmates come to us, we are permitted to pray with them, talk with them and just act like Christian men and women. We've all done something wrong, but we don't all go to prison
While in prison, Miller received word that his mother was dying and he could not go to her bedside to say his goodbyes.
"She made it and didn't die while I was in prison," Miller said, adding that was when he began to search for God while within prison walls. On Dec. 4, 1991, Miller said he asked Jesus into his heart and for forgiveness for his wrongdoings.
"I gave God a chance and Jesus is allowing me to be different," Miller said. "My life took a big turn for the better. I started going to services at the chapel and began watching the 700 Club and convinced other inmates to watch it with me."
Miller kept going before the parole board, he said, and each time they would remind him of his horrid life of crime.
"I told them I couldn't defend my past life," he said. "I always told them I 've changed and I'm different now. I've made a decision that will last the rest of my life and that is knowing Jesus." He said he was released by the parole board after his sixth appearance.
Knowing how desolate and depressing being imprisoned could be, Miller said once he was released, he began doing services at the county jail, but said he had a burden to get back into the prisons to do ministry.
He had a roadblock in the way. That was a piece of paper in writing that said he could never go back into NCCI because of his felony record.
"The Lord just opened the door for me to get back into NCCI," Miller said, adding he has invited others who have had similar experiences to join him as well as those who just have a burden to present the Gospel to those incarcerated. They make the trip at least twice a year.
And one of those who looks forward to not only Miller but all services of inspiration at NCCI, is inmate Kenneth Brown.
"I think this is beneficial to inmates," he said. "These people give them (inmates) a lot of hope. They appreciate it. A lot of inmates need someone to talk to they and they look forward to things like this motorcycle rally."
Brown said he was a practicing Christian and professional musician when he had his first ever run-in with the law.
"My life completely changed in three seconds," he said. "I was being attacked and I thought I was defending myself, but the judge ruled it murder." He was sentenced 15 years to life and has served 13 1/2 years to date. He has been at NCCI since 2000.
Brown said through Miller and other visiting clergy, he has renewed his faith and attends all worship and praise services.
"I've noticed inmates look forward to it and I've seen changes in their lives," Brown said. "It's something (attend a faith-based services) they can do nearly every day."
Brown, who has a masters degree in music from Juliard School of Music in New York City, played bass guitar with Gladys Knight and the Pips 10 years before being incarcerated. At NCCI, he's in charge of the music program, he said, and twice a week teaches inmates to read, write and to play instruments.
Thursday, he organized a 9-11 observance with eight bands performing a concert in the prison courtyard. He noted that on Sept. 11, 2001, he had just set up for a series of bands when he was approached and told to close it down right after the first plane hit the twin towers in NYC, then 20 minutes later told to set up.
"I think they (prison officials) wanted the inmates out here instead of glued to the television and becoming more depressed," he said. "We played until 8 that night and have done it every year since.
Many of those that participate in bike rallies with Miller are also former inmates.
John "Preacher Man" Harris, Lexington, was an inmate 1983-2008 for several charges including burglary, forgery, auto theft and breaking and entering. He said he accepted the Lord in prison.
"That made it more bearable as I served my time," he said. "The Lord forgave me of my wrongdoings. The Lord has a mission for me and has led me to this ministry to share with inmates."
Harris said someone gave him Miller's phone number. He called Miller and asked him to be a guest for Black Leather Sunday at his church Lexington Covenant. Harris is now an ordained minister of City Church in Bellville.
"Today there has been a lot of men re-dedicate their life to the Lord from us being here to share with them," Harris said. "A lot of them grew up in church, then went astray. We just show up, share the Word that Jesus loves them and we do too."
Harris said he often share the Scripture from Matthew 25:36 …….I was in prison and ye came unto me. "That brings them a ray of hope."
Two of Saturday's visitors flew in from Arizona to share the Word and provide inspiration to the inmates.
Ted Burke, originally from Detroit and now from Glendale, Ariz. said he was inspired by Miller two years ago and now has a similar ministry in Arizona. He, too, has a criminal past. He said he was a three-time felony offender and under the habitual offender act was granted probation versus prison. He is now a currency broker.
"We're getting letters on almost a daily basis from prisoners," Burke said. "The Bishop has found homes for inmates when they're released. Our church goes above and beyond to help them find homes. Our thinking is if we can make a difference with inmates while they're in, and let them learn about Christ, they can lead straight lives after they're released."
Isaac Rios, Arrowhead, Ariz., is also an ex-felon. This was his first time in Ohio.
"One of my desires when I got out was to go back and put something back in," Rios said. "As I came today, I see myself. I know what they're feeling. A righteous man can fall seven times, then he needs to get back up. That's what we preach. With God's help they can."

Peace Education Program was officially started in Rwanda on 27th October and was concluded on 3rd November, 2015. The first pilot project started with the students of Lycee De Kigali. The Peace Education Program is conducted by the members of The Prem Rawat Foundation based in Los Angeles United States of America.
Rwanda has been the third country in Africa to conduct such a proramme and the first in East African Community from the original Ghana and South Africa. Prem Rawat Foundation appointed RICAD Rwanda a local NGO as the country host and program coordinator for the PEP. The training attracted more than 250 participants who undertook the whole program for five days.
In her welcoming Speech, the The Prem Rawat Foundation regional Facilitator Becky Resnick thanked the management of the school for having accepted the offer of being the first school in the country to host the PEP program. "Am delighted and humbled for you participants and the school management team to have honored our invitation, am looking forward to working with you even more in the future" Sha said.
The purpose of the Peace Education Program (PEP) is to help participants discover their own inner resources—innate tools for living such as inner strength, choice, and hope—and the possibility of personal peace.
One of the participants Aline Kabasinga said she was going to share the knowledge she acquired to the community back home and thanked RICAD for the PEP training.
At the closing of the training, all participants who attended the five days so them receive certificates from Prem Rawat Foundation. "Am proud of all you participants for taking your time to attend tirelessly and attentively, am looking forward for further cooperation" Said Diane Mushimiyimana the President of RICAD RWANDA the host and the facilitator NGO.

We drove into Graham Saturday morning and the shower started about 10 am... brunch style! Yumm!

We are truly blessed & I can't believe how much was given to us out of love & support!
All of our wonderful & sweet hostess'!!!
After the shower Matt & I came back to Ft Worth to take care of some other stuff... more on that Tuesday (yes, an announcement... check back!)

Kiwi living in Australia behind world''s largest spam operationOctober 15th, 2008 - 2:04 pm ICT by ANI
Melbourne, October 15 (ANI): American authorities have frozen the assets of a New Zealand man living in Australia, who has been implicated in the worlds largest spam e-mail operation.
The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) fingered Lance Atkinson, 26, who lives in Pelican Waters in Queensland, as a ringleader of the network that was responsible for sending out billions of unsolicited emails in recent years.
The commission, which has been successful in having the spam network shut down, had requested a US district court in Chicago to freeze Atkinsons assets.
According to theage.com.au, Atkinson may be charged with criminal counts because the FTC has already said that his assets have been frozen to "preserve them for consumer redress pending trial".
Atkinson''s company Inet Ventures, registered in Australia, is one of four companies targeted by the FTC over the operation.
The companies allegedly used spam e-mails to encourage people to click through to websites, which used false claims to peddle prescription drugs, as well as "male enhancement" and weight-loss pills.
Atkinson and one Jody Smith of Texas allegedly controlled a "botnet" of 35,000 computers, capable of sending 10 billion email messages a day.
The network had ties to Australia, New Zealand, India, China and the United States.
Calls to Atkinson''s Queensland home went unanswered. (ANI)

Lady Gaga comparte un emocionante mensaje en Instagram
comentariosFollow @TwitterDev
Después de varios días tras finalizar las grabaciones del remake de 'A Star Is Born', Lady Gaga se ha tomado unas vacaciones en los alrededores de Nueva York con su nueva pareja Christian Carino. Durante este tiempo a penas ha tocado las redes sociales, pero hoy ha hecho uso de su cuenta de Instagram para enviar un mensaje a sus seguidores de lo que ha significado su apoyo tras perder a su gran amiga Sonja Durham por el cáncer que padecía.
Lady Gaga actualiza su Instagram con un emocionante mensaje para Sonja y los monsters. 😢💜 pic.twitter.com/tOx6gqMCiy— OHH MY GAGA! ❤ (@OHHMYGAGAcom) 28 de junio de 2017
Just wanted to say a loving thank you to monsters and fans of @sonjad7777 all over the world. I've been resting since I wrapped filming, and have begun to process even further all that has taken place. I want to say of all the things you have been there for me and my family and friends for, this one really left me speechless while also taking me by surprise. What I have realized is that my true life dream above all things was to spread peace and love as far as possible through music; and the compassion you have shown me, Sonja's husband Andre, her family and her friends is a miracle. And I know it was her hope while she was battling cancer to tell her story and to be an example of bravery to the world. Thank you for keeping that community in tact, not just for me, for yourself, or for sonja, but thank you for the example of kindness you show to the world. It is not how many followers you have, how skinny or beautiful by other peoples standards that matters. Truly it's the best parts of you on the inside that you choose generously to share with your sister or brother that makes you beautiful. That's what counts. That is your legacy. That is how you leave your mark. Transferring your positive energy to those around you, and watching it multiply.

Confirmed speakers so far:
Alok Sharma MP, Minister of State for Housing and Planning
Richard Bacon MP, Right to Build Task Force Ambassador and Chair of APPG for Self Build Custom and Community Housebuilding and Placemaking
Karen Curtin, Managing Director, Graven Hill Village Development Company

Get directly connected to expert support from the Task Force and understand how to maximize the full potential of the Right to Build demand registers.
This Right to Build Expo is the first in a series of regionally-focussed Task Force events which will run nationally between 2017 and 2019.
We expect demand to outstrip availability of the limited spaces on offer. Register for a place while you still can!

Toronto Raptors Considering Shutting Down Rudy Gay for Rest of SeasonMarch 24, 2013
Rudy Gay has been battling back problems ever since back spasms kept him out of an early March game against the Milwaukee Bucks, and now it seems as if the Toronto Raptors could be looking at shutting him down for the season.
Gay missed Saturday night's game against the New York Knicks, fueling suspicion that he could be done for the season:
Dwane Casey said today Raptors will consider shutting Rudy Gay down for the year: "That's something that will be talked about ..."— cathalkelly (@cathalkelly) March 23, 2013
The Raptors traded for Gay back in the end of January in hopes of finding the missing piece of their offense. It's worked at times, and we've even seen the team click like crazy, putting points on the board dozens at a time.
Toronto's time with Gay started off as well as it could have hoped, as the team won six of its first eight games. However, the Raptors are 9-12 overall with Gay in the lineup, and they've won just two of their past 11 with Gay.
He's averaging 20 points, six rebounds and three assists per game for the Raptors, but that all comes while shooting just 40.2 percent from the floor and just over 25 percent from the three-point line.
Part of Toronto's decision with Rudy Gay seems steeped in what, exactly, its plans are with the team over the course of the next few seasons.
Gay is capable of producing at a certain level in the NBA.
It just seems obvious that he's not in a position to be a team's No. 1 scoring option. It gives him too much free rein, leading to a bevy of bad shots at the worst possible times.
Toronto traded for Gay in what seemed like a trial period for the forward, and the trial hasn't worked out so far.
There's a chance the Raptors won't keep him past this season, as Gay's contract runs through the end of the 2014 season with a player option for the 2015 season.
However, as recently as a few weeks back, news came out that the Raptors were planning on offering Gay a contract extension, and Gay seems enthused by the team (via Marc J. Spears, Yahoo! Sports): "I love the city. I think the team has a lot of potential. The organization is great. [Colangelo] is here and he is watching every step trying to make this team better."
So, the pros to shutting Gay down are all out there.
With the fact that Gay seems excited to be with Toronto and Toronto seemingly ready to call him its franchise player, his health becomes a legitimate concern, as there's very little left to gain as the season goes along.
The only problem for the Raptors is that shutting Gay down and essentially tanking doesn't really help them much.
Sure, it gives them a slightly better chance at winning the draft lottery from an outside pick, but they've traded their 2013 draft pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder, and any pick outside of the top three will be shipped south.
Toronto could up its chances of landing one of the top three picks, but those chances aren't likely to go up more than a few percent.
So, it seems as if Toronto's decision is going to be based on how it weighs the importance of making its fans happy, potentially showing them a winning club down the stretch and the importance of Gay's complete health.

Beijing is not bending.
In one the clearest signs yet that China will continue to resist calls for a revaluation of its currency, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has offered another stark rejection to the West.
"The Chinese currency is not undervalued," Mr. Wen said Sunday at the close of the National People's Congress in Beijing. "We oppose all countries engaging in mutual finger-pointing or taking strong measures to force other nations to appreciate their currencies."
His stance, experts say, reflects an increasingly confident China that knows the United States and Europe are in no position to lecture it on any major issue, from currency policy to political development. Mr. Wen went further than normal, however, labelling the international pressure on China to allow its currency to rise as "a kind of trade protectionism."
There's a mood of stubborn pushback that's been coming out of Beijing since the fall... The revaluation of the currency is not something they need to do to please the United States, but to rebalance their own economy. Jeremy Paltiel, Carleton University
Beijing had previously pegged the yuan to the U.S. dollar, but abandoned that policy in July, 2005, in favour of a complex formula composed of various currencies, including the Japanese yen, the euro, the South Korean won and the dollar. For three years, it allowed the yuan to slowly appreciate, but as the global downturn accelerated in 2008, China began to align the yuan more with the greenback, a decision Mr. Wen has since said is "temporary."
The currency's value has remained largely unchanged at about 6.8 yuan for every U.S. dollar since mid-2008.
Even if revisiting the currency could give a boost to the global economy, Mr. Wen's latest remarks are a reminder that a timetable for change will ultimately come from Beijing, not Washington. And as the chorus grows louder in the U.S. for the Obama administration to formally designate China a currency manipulator, it is clear the bitter spat will continue to sour U.S.-China relations.
It's not that officials in Beijing can't hear the growing cries in the United States and elsewhere to revalue the Chinese yuan. The message from Washington and Brussels has been conveyed through the highest diplomatic channels and is perfectly clear: An undervalued yuan has allowed China's export-driven economy to soar, offered China's youthful technology and financial services sectors a source of protection, while at the same time acting to limit American and European exports to China.
Chinese leaders know this complicated formula intimately, and that is precisely why they are refusing to allow the yuan to appreciate from its pegged position. With Mr. Wen's latest rebuke of foreign governments, "they're more or less throwing the gauntlet down," said Charles Burton, who twice served as an in-house counsellor at Canada's embassy in Beijing and is now a professor at Brock University.
"In the past, the Chinese comments on this issue have been more ambiguous, more promising," he said. "As there is a perception that United States is weakening, the Chinese are becoming much more assertive in stating their position, and these remarks by the Chinese premier are pretty direct, pretty clear."
Ever since the financial crisis, which took root in the U.S. housing market and spread overseas partly through Wall Street's aggressive investment banking practices, Washington has had little to no leverage in negotiations with Beijing.
When President Obama visited the Chinese capital late last year, his statements were largely deferential, with no harsh words on human rights, Tibet or the currency. President Obama also refused to meet the Dalai Lama when he visited the U.S. Observers took these moves as a sign that America no longer holds the cards in the relationship with Beijing, but also as symbolic nods to a new global order in which China now sets or dismantles the agenda, rather than abides by it.
This is not the first time Mr. Wen has issued this type of missive. As the financial crisis worsened, he warned Washington that America needed to reassure international investors that it was not spending recklessly. No one is a bigger international investor in the U.S. than China, which holds an estimated trillion dollars of U.S. government debt; Mr. Wen said he was "worried" about China's investments.
In the United States, voices have grown louder about Chinese currency policy as the U.S. struggles with 10 per cent unemployment and an eroded manufacturing sector.
On Friday, prominent U.S. economists, including Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman, said at a symposium in Washington that the Obama administration should label China a currency "manipulator," a decision the U.S. Treasury Department has to make by April, when it issues a semi-annual report to Congress.
But Mr. Wen's comments should not be taken as a sign that China will never revalue its currency, said Jeremy Paltiel, a professor of political science at Carleton University. China could still do so for a host of domestic economic and political reasons, though it would likely not do so at the behest of foreign government or signal ahead of time when it would do so, said Mr. Paltiel, who just returned from a semester teaching at Beijing's Tsinghua University, often called China's MIT.
"There's a mood of stubborn pushback that's been coming out of Beijing since the fall," he said. "The revaluation of the currency is not something they need to do to please the United States, but to rebalance their own economy."
Letting the yuan appreciate would shift the focus away from export-led growth and stimulate domestic consumption, Mr. Paltiel said, especially in the impoverished interior.
While modern China's manufacturing boom has benefited China's coastal cities immensely, much of the interior remains impoverished and, in places, politically volatile because of a lack of economic development.
China's leaders have been content to cement their rule with the gross domestic product growth that comes with this uneven development. But as the U.S. dollar falls, the fixed yuan is becoming a global and regional issue.
"If the renminbi doesn't adjust to the fall of the U.S. dollar, the impact kind of sloshes over onto other currencies, like the Canadian dollar," Mr. Paltiel said.
The Chinese Premier embodied this confident assertiveness again on Sunday, when he offered his rebuke to governments he clearly feels don't quite understand post-crisis geopolitical realities.Report Typo/Error

Ahead of Wednesday's Champions League encounter between Barcelona and Celtic, a traditional Scottish welcome awaited the Barcelona team at Celtic Park. The Barcelona team bus drove in to the stadium led amidst by a cast of bagpipers playing out the traditional Scottish tune for their Spanish opponents.
Check out the video below!
A special Scottish welcome for @FCBarcelona at #Celtic Park. #ChampionsLeague pic.twitter.com/0w3yNLvcqG

While the welcome accorded to the Barcelona team certainly embodied good sportsmanship on part of Celtic, some Celtic fans took the whole event rather cynically. Some saw it as showing too much respect for their illustrious opponents from a club as big as Celtic while some saw the event as pointing to signs of desperation on part of Celtic.
Check out the tweets below!
Just seen @celticfc piped the barca team bus into the stadium!!!! That's the fucking problem give teams to much respect #firstlastoverall

Exploring Watercolor
One of the most relaxing mediums to watch is watercolor….the way the paint moves through the water can be positively mesmerizing! But one of the most frustrating activities for some people is actually trying to paint!
Set aside some time along with your preconceived notions about watercolor being a difficult medium. In this class, you'll be walked through mixing basic colors – using a set of three warm colors, a red, yellow, and blue, and a set of three cool colors – a different red, yellow, and blue. Be amazed at how many different hues can be mixed by combining different colors together!
You also don't need to know how to draw; you'll learn how to transfer a photograph onto watercolor paper to be painted, then follow along with real-time videos to paint 5 basic fruits. A variety of techniques will be taught as you paint each one, techniques you can use in all kinds of paintings in your future!
Supplies are few – the 6 colors used are available in one small set, you'll need a brush or two, some paper, and you can use a plate or tile instead of investing in a palette if you desire! See the supply list in the free preview lesson in the "curriculum" tab.
Join this class and see how relaxing it can be to watch color move – when it's on your own paint brush!

Based on their functions, surgical equipment are categorised into different types such as sutures, staples, handheld instruments and electrosurgical devices. Handheld instruments are further classified into scalpels, retractors, forceps and scissors. While sutures and staples currently hold the largest market share, demand for electrosurgical devices is growing fast due to rising demand for minimally invasive surgeries. Electrosurgical devices provides several benefits such as minimal blood loss, minimal trauma and pain, small scars, reduction of collateral tissue damage and faster recovery. These devices are pushing the trends for the usage of robotic and computer-assisted equipment.
Increasing demand for cost-effective devices and concerns regarding infection control has led to a shift towards disposable surgical equipment. Usage of disposable equipment not only eliminates the need to maintain expensive reusable devices but also minimizes the risk of cross-contamination. However, a choice between reusable and disposable device is decided on the factors such as efficacy, safety and cost.
Vascular equipment or vascular closure devices (VCD) are used for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. They also help in endovascular imaging in order to detect coronary artery diseases. VCDs are segmented into two types, active and passive. Some of the active VCDs are clips, mynx, polyglycolic acid devices and exoseal, whereas chito seal, closur pad, femostop system and clamp ease are the examples of passive VCDs.
Increasing catheterization and endovascular procedures, faster haemostatic properties and ease of use of VCDs are expected to fuel the market growth. However, high cost and complications associated are affecting the market negatively.
ASDReport.com has an extensive collection of reports on surgical and vascular equipment market. The reports provide market insights on various surgical and vascular equipment devices like, cardiac assist device, cardiology device, catheters and much more.

MOUNT VERNON, N.Y. - The Baltimore Ravens fan who was assaulted by two Westchester County Raiders fans in Maryland on Sunday has shown signs of improvement after being hospitalized with a brain injury.
Joseph Bauer, 55, has given a thumbs-up to doctors after an argument led to a fight with Mount Vernon firefighter Scott Smith, 30 and his friend, Andrew Nappi, 31, from Eastchester.
According to multiple reports , Nappi told police that the three got into an argument after Bauer allowed a woman ahead of him in line at a stadium concession stand. The argument turned physical, with Bauer allegedly throwing a bottle that struck Smith in the head. Nappi then punched Bauer and Smith shoved their victim to the ground where the former Marine hit his head and was knocked unconscious.
Bauer is still in critical condition with a brain injury and he reportedly is breathing on a respirator.
Both Westchester men were arrested and charged with first and second-degree assault. Smith was released after posting bond: $50,000 for Smith and $25,000 for Nappi. A rookie firefighter, Smith has been suspended without pay from the Mount Vernon Fire Department as they conduct an internal investigation.
Bauer's sister, Susan, told the Baltimore Sun that doctors are "cautiously optimistic" with his progress. In a statement, the Ravens offered their support for Bauer and his family.
"Our sympathies and prayers go out to Bauer, his wife Sharon and the rest of his family," the team added. "We are deeply concerned about this assault and are learning as much as we can about it. Safety for our fans is a top priority. Confrontational and inflammatory behavior is never tolerated and is unacceptable at Ravens home games."
On Monday, Ravens coach John Harbaugh shared his team's sympathies, offering his support for the season ticket holder.
"Whatever security has to be out there, whatever has to be done he will be done," he said at his weekly press conference, calling the alleged assault "inexcusable." "Here's a man and a family that have been longtime season ticket holders, that know the people here that work in the building, that loves the Ravens and have been to countless number of games at M&T Bank Stadium without incident.
"Then all of a sudden you have an incident where a gentleman is assaulted by someone. That's not what we're about."

Irina, it was wonderful shooting together again and enjoying such a perfect spring afternoon with you! I had so much fun :) We both couldn't help whipping out our phones and taking photos for Instagram ;) It's sad that the spring season lasts such a short time in Japan.. but I guess that's what makes it all the more precious, this fleeting, quiet beauty.
I have a few spaces left, and the cherry blossom season in Tokyo will only be lasting for the next few weeks (through mid-April)! If you're interested in booking a cherry blossom photoshoot with me, feel free to write me here.

After churning
out hit for the likes of pop stars Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado, super-producer
Timbaland is preparing his second solo album, titled Shock Value. The
first single from the album, "Give It to Me," features Justin Timberlake
and Nelly Furtado, two artists that Timbaland has had worldwide chart success
with as a producer. The
Norfolk, VA native is also up for three Grammy Awards this year as a producer/artist
for his work on Nelly Furtado's No. 1 hit single "Promiscuous" and Justin
Timberlake's No.1 hit single, "SexyBack.""Shock
Value is sequenced like a movie," Timbaland said "It's a non-stop
flow that tells a story. My mission is to blow up the boundaries and tear down
the limits. I'm not getting away from what I'm known for; I'm just going to a
place where it's all about the music, not about the labels on the music. I'm taking
my music outside of the box. That's why I call it Shock Value — from the
artists to the production, it will shock the system." Shock
Value, which hits stores Mar. 28, also boasts appearances from Jay-Z, Snoop
Dogg, The Hives, She Wants Revenge, Fall Out Boy and a high-profile collaboration
with pop icon, Elton John. The
new album is Timbaland's follow up to his debut solo project, Tim's Bio, which
was released in 1998. Timbaland is currently on tour as a special guest
on Timberlake's current 2007 FutureSex/LoveShow World Tour, where he is debuting
selected beats and original music from his Shock Value project. The
38-date North American leg of the FutureSex/LoveShow World Tour, with opening
act Pink, kicked off in San Diego, CA on Jan. 8 and runs through March.

Driving trust and transparency
Annual Reporting suite 2017
BAE systems
Farnborough International Airshow is one of the world's most iconic biennial aviation events and the opportunity for BAE Systems to display their products, services, training and technology on a global stage.
Our brief was to create an audio-visual presentation that left the world of PowerPoint behind and truly reflected the future-looking, technology-driven solutions that BAE deliver.
Working with advanced projection techniques onto a 7m glass wall in the 'Future Technology' area of the airshow, the objective was to bring to life BAE's understanding of their clients' future problems, and demonstrate how their technology is being developed to enable customers to stay ahead.
With an underlying requirement to deliver the 'wow' factor, we worked closely with BAE's futurist professors and the Group communications team to create a storyboard encompassing an introductory video that gave context and entry points into a series of detailed, interactive presentations built around five main themes.
After refinement of the messaging and technical discussions with the events management team, we brought the storyboard to life using illustration and animation. Given the scale and advanced technologies being used, we spent two days on-site in Farnborough testing and developing the presentation to ensure the graphics, animation and audio were delivered to the highest standard.
Overall the final presentation had real impact, was visually engaging and presented the BAE 'story' in a stimulating and interesting way. The interactive functionality provided a platform for presenters and customers alike to deep-dive into content and discuss further the challenges and pioneering solutions for future customer needs.

Surrogacy is when a remarkable woman chooses to carry a baby for a person or people other than herself. Surrogacy through Family Inceptions is always gestational surrogacy. This means that the surrogate is impregnated through In-vitro fertilization (IVF), the embryo (egg and sperm) are donated by outside parties so she has no genetic connection to the baby.
There are two types of surrogacy:
(TS) Traditional surrogacy: The surrogate uses her own eggs and a third party's sperm and carries a child that is genetically related to her.
(GS) Gestational Surrogacy: The surrogate is not genetically related to the child and the embryo is created with third party eggs and sperm.
There is no difference—a gestational surrogate and a gestational carrier means the same thing. Many use the terms interchangeably along with surrogate mother or simply surrogate.
There are a few options. (Please note that we are not advocating one way over another.)
It is common for many insurance providers to restrict any fertility coverage. It is important you are aware of the insurance status before beginning your surrogacy journey with your surrogate.
If your surrogate has her own personal medical insurance coverage, without surrogacy exclusions, it is possible to use her insurance for the pregnancy care only. It would be the intended parent's responsibility to cover any copays, deductibles or out of pocket medical expenses.
Included in our full service program, is providing insurance policy review to verify your surrogate's insurance status.
If your surrogate has insurance and there are surrogacy exclusions on her policy or if she does not have any insurance at all, you do have alternatives. You may opt to purchase a policy for her through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) insurance exchange during open enrollment, self-pay and pay directly out of pocket or purchase a surrogacy medical plan.
The big ones include things like who pays for what, liability issues, agreements about contact and birth methods, etc. We do not advise people handle the legal aspects of gestational surrogacy themselves. There are too many risks involved for you and the surrogate. It is best to hire a reputable attorney who specializes in reproductive law and understands the ins and outs of the state your child will be born in.
Your rights are determined by what is drawn up in your contract. An attorney specialized in reproductive law, in the state the child will be born in, will make sure that the contract is fair to you and the surrogate.
At Family Inceptions, we encourage you to be involved every step of the way, but your involvement is entirely up to you and your gestational surrogate. We will work with you both—before she becomes pregnant—to determine what is desired for everyone involved.
We encourage you to be present to witness the birth of your child. However, this is another detail determined prior to contracts being signed and one that must be agreed upon by all parties.
This is incredibly rare, especially when you work through a third party reproduction agency. Since she is not biologically related to the child, her rights will be limited, especially if you have a solid contract in place (this is why it is very important to work in a surrogate-friendly state). Most women who agree to be a surrogate do not want another child, but they enjoy the experience of pregnancy and love to help others.
Family Inceptions only works with a gestational surrogate because it simplifies the transfer once the baby is born. This factor goes back to the state in which the child is born and the laws governing that state. We only work with gestational surrogates who live in surrogate-friendly states.
What you choose to tell your child is entirely up to you. However, we never suggest that you hide the truth from your child. It is best to be honest, loving and positive once your child is old enough to understand pregnancy. It is usually a conversation that continues for years because it takes time for the child to understand the hows and whys of his or her conception. There is a book called Mommy, Did I Grow in Your Tummy? Where Some Babies Come From (Em Greenberg Press, November 1992) that has been helpful to many parents.
Selecting an agency can be a difficult task. Unfortunately, surrogacy agencies are not regulated. It is very important you do your due diligence to ensure you are working with a reputable agency. Here are some questions you should ask a prospective surrogacy agency before you make a decision.
We believe in transparency and will automatically provide you with a list of references you may contact directly and speak to regarding their experience in working with us.
Our agency was established in 2008 under the name of Family Acuity. Due to ownership changes, the business name has changed to Family Inceptions.
Family Inceptions receives oversight by the FDA (Federal Drug Administration) FEI: 3011042023, is registered with the (BBB) Better Business Bureau, Incorporated with the Georgia Secretary of State, New York State Department of Health - Tissue Bank ID No. LP344, follows all standards / regulations / procedures set forth by (ASRM) Assisted Society of Reproductive Medicine, and SEEDS (Society for Ethics in Egg Donation & Surrogacy).
We ensure that any and all surrogate funds are held in an escrow account that is managed through an escrow agent that is licensed, bonded and insured. We do not receive any kickbacks, referral fees or own any part of other professional companies we refer clients to.
Integrity is a cornerstone value of ours. We pride ourselves on our reputation and can unequivocally say we have never been sued by any parents, surrogates, egg donors or other professionals for that matter. We take each aspect of our business seriously and consider it the highest calling to be chosen by you to serve you and assist you in this most important journey of your life.
Family Inceptions is fully insured and will provide proof upon request to our clients.
In the United States, unfortunately, surrogacy can be very expensive. To get a general idea of cost, please visit our Surrogacy Cost page.
Yes. Each surrogate must go through various screening prior to acceptance into our program. The process is lengthy in order to evaluate the level of commitment of the surrogate and also to develop a personal relationship with Family Inception that establishes trust between the surrogate and the case manager. Each surrogate must complete a one-on-one assessment, detailed background check on her as well as her spouse/partner, psychological evaluation along with her spouse/partner and a psychosocial home assessment.
We are a full service surrogacy and egg donation agency providing services such as: locating which clinic and or professional to work with, matching you with a surrogate and or egg donor, assisting you with paperwork to return home with your child in hand, and more.
Absolutely. It is incredibly important for you to have trust and a comfort level with your gestational surrogate.
A large number of Family Inceptions surrogates are from the Southeast; Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, North Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee—however, we will work with surrogates that live in any surrogate-friendly state.
We keep an updated list of other reputable professionals within the industry that are highly knowledgeable and would gladly assist you in making your journey a success.
Our clients have access to us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Approximately 425 bow ties are shown here... 426 if you count the one being worn. I hate to waste time tumbling through Tumblr, but this photo was absolutely worth finding. One of these days, I'm setting up my ties like this. I may only have 37 bow ties, but I have more than enough regular ties to fill a wall.

STC NE's Online Consensus Judging
It was something like a homecoming, or welcoming an old friend into your home after years apart. The STC Technical Publications and Online Communications Competitions returned to the New England Chapter after an absence of five years and was embraced by our local members. The STC New England Chapter decided that five years was five years too long, and that this was the year to bring back the STC Competitions. This was exciting news to all who had bemoaned the loss of the Competition from New England.
All of the STC Council members worked together to help publicize our Regional Competition to STC members throughout the New England Chapter and also to many other STC Chapters who decided not to sponsor a Regional Competition this year. Our motto for everyone this year was "The more the merrier!"
There were a total of 20 entries distributed throughout the Technical Publications and Online Communications Competitions, and a team of six consensus judges for each of the Competitions. The judges offered valuable and useful feedback for all of the entries submitted into this year's competition. Receiving this number of entries proved to be a great start to relaunching the Competition as well as reawakening an awareness of the Competition by the STC members in New England.
The Technical Publications Competition was held at Mathworks in Natick, MA, on October 19th and the Online Communications Competition was held at Cisco Systems in Boxborough, MA, on November 2. There were a number of Merit, Excellence, and Distinguished awards given. STC members who won an award this year were notified by the end of November/early December timeframe.
Our awards banquet is scheduled as part the March 19, 2014, STC Monthly Program at the Hilton Garden Inn, Burlington, MA. At this fun event, we'll celebrate another great Competition, recognize and display the winning entries, and announce the winner of Best of Show. Please visit the STC New England Chapter website or this site for details as the event gets closer.
Entries winning an award of Distinguished or Excellence at our chapter-level Competition are eligible for entry into the STC's International Summit Award (ISA) competition.

More Americans are postponing retirement. Are you planning to postpone yours?
According to the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), the U.S. labor force keeps getting older. The 55-plus share will increase from 21.7 percent in 2014 to nearly 25 percent in 2024, according to U.S. Labor Department projections. That's a 1.8 percent annual growth rate, more than three times the rate of the overall labor force.
By contrast, the share of the labor force for those ages 16 to 24 is projected to decline from 13.7 percent in 2014 to 11.3 percent in 2024. Are you planning to postpone your retirement? We'd like to hear from our readers.

Celebrating Art The Infants' Home's Way
On Saturday 10th May we welcomed the children, families, community members, educators and other staff who joined us to celebrate the creativity of our children at The Infants' Home's annual Art Show.
Despite having to postpone the event from the previous week due to poor weather, the day was a great success, with many children, families and educators mingling to admire and discuss the impressive artwork displays. Educators were on hand to talk with families about the children's learning and experiences as they moved through the creative process.
Our annual Art Show, now in its 7th year, is one of our most important calendar events, enabling us to bring together our past, present and future families, along with other members of our local community, to look, admire, chat and connect.
Lata desicribes the creative processes involved in Robinson House's childern's artworks
"As well as being a wonderful opportunity to celebrate how our children explore and learn through their creativity and artistry, the Art Show also gives us a chance to catch up with our families in a relaxing social situation," says The Infants' Home's CEO, Anita Kumar. "Some of our families have been with us for many years, as they have had several children attend our programs successively, and we also often have visits from families whose children have since moved on to primary school - and in some cases even to high school!"
The Infant's Home's CEO Anita Kumar cuts our 140th birthday cake as an admiring crowd looks on
The Infants' Home was very fortunate to have members of the Rotary Club of Drummoyne, who gave up their time at very short notice, to man (and woman), the BBQ sausage sizzle on the day. They definitely cooked up a storm, sizzling and selling over 300 sausages in just two and a half hours! We would also like to thank MLC for helping us to purchase a brand new BBQ after our old BBQ spontaneously self-combusted at our last all staff gathering.
Busy, busy, busy: the team from the Roatary Club of Drummoyne
Thank you to everyone who made the day so special.

RT Teacher thoughts that are tweet worthy @carolinemlittle pic.twitter.com/GzzupFCAPc" #NT2t #edchat
— Chanmi Chun (@mrschun) April 19, 2014
Whenever you decide to use a new edtech tool or social networking site in your classroom, you should ask yourself Why? Why using that particular tool? A message I'll never forget from the recent #antwerpcall2014 conference (CALL: Computer Assisted Language Learning) is that we should aim at designing long-term activities and tasks instead of one-time activities, presentation by Michael Marek at @MiMarek1 and Vivian Wu. If we find a few tools and stick to them long-term, we'll be able to improve our practices and design more meaningful tasks over time, find multiple alternatives, collect data and get ongoing student feedback.
If you're looking into using Twitter in your (online) class, here are three things to consider before you can decide if Twitter is a tool you can use for several classes and school years:
Does it make sense to you? Does it have value in your everyday (work)life?
I've talked to a few teachers and other people who have Twitter but simply don't tweet. They say they don't know what to tweet. The platform doesn't make sense to them yet. Other teachers are still not convinced by the whole idea of Twitter but feel pressured to use it in class because other colleagues are using it. Twitter has to do with having a voice and wanting to say something to the whole world. It aligns with some of the 21st skills we want to transfer to our students: innovation, critical thinking, managing information, and collaboration across networks. It may take a little while to figure it all out. Once you do, you'll realize that Twitter is a unique site to find people with common job/hobby interests, to access relevant articles and resources, and to follow institutions, organizations or certain leaders in your field. Moreover, Twitter makes long distances shorter because, in education for example, you can follow and communicate with great educational leaders such as Tony Wagner at @DrTonyWagner and get inspired by his quotes, resources and ideas. You can collaborate with teachers around the world and express your ideas and reflections on best educational practices, short and to the point. It's also easy to use on all devices. Once you value Twitter for what it brings to you as a teacher, you will be able to reflect on how it can be valuable to your students.
Explore how other teachers are using it.
Doing a little informal research is always helpful when choosing a new tool or platform. Talk to teachers who have used it, attend free webinars about this topic or look for an article or open presentation or video about the topic via Slideshare, TED or YouTube. This is how some teachers I've talked to (personally or via social media) use Twitter in their classes:
Now how are you going to use it?
So far, I've personally used Twitter as a resource for authentic materials and authentic language in my classroom but I haven't used it for any graded activities. I'm just not there yet. I want to experiment with these uses some more and take them beyond classroom use, that's one of my personal challenges.
With a Business Spanish class I had with marketing and logistics students I used Twitter to show relevant quotes and bits of advice in Spanish that had to to with the topic we were discussing about. For example, when we discussed "Claves del éxito" or "the key to success", I shared tweets from Frases de marketing at @frasesmarketing and Marketing en español at @MKTenEspanol on different dates and came back to those specific tweets when needed. You will find a few examples below but I must say that there are tons of tweets I can use and they just keep coming. It was a moment to reflect on authentic language use for their future careers; the messages had real, relevant vocabulary for them to learn, the messages connected with what they learn during their core discipline courses and some tweets could be very inspirational, poetic, and carried a message they could take with them and hopefully apply as professionals. It's very easy to collect these tweets for class, simply by saving them to your favorites – that explains why I have so many on my Twitter account – and embedding them into your blog, class page, school's online platform or slide presentations. Almost every time I check my Twitter I find a couple of phrases or articles for future classroom use.
Other way I used Twitter is that when we were reviewing some writing tips and spelling and orthography, I would show a couple of tweets from Ortografía at @ORTOGRAFIA of examples of "la tilde diacrítica" – accent mark to differentiate words that are written the same way but have different meaning – this meaning is marked with the accent such as in 'te' (you, object pronoun such as in 'te quiero' – 'I love you') and 'té' (tea, noun). @ORTOGRAFIA explained all the rules there were to know and gave great examples so why looking for something else or writing my own examples. Again, if students continue to study the language and become users of the language – which I always try to encourage – and find @ORTOGRAFIA a valuable tool for personal use beyond the classroom, then that's what it's all about.
How can you extend on all of these ideas?
Telling students to follow a specific account – such as @frasesmarketing for example – may be valuable once they value the content of this Twitter feed and have personal interest – beyond the classroom – in what this person or organization has to say. Your role can always be to expose students to different influential people or feeds they may want to follow, not simply telling them who to follow. You could show them along the course relevant tweets from different people/institutions they might find interesting. If they decide to follow them and continue to do so after the course is over, that is more valuable than just having to follow someone for that particular course. If you are lucky to have the same group for future (language) classes, they could give a presentation at a future time about what they have learned from following that one person or organization they chose. Students could also select some of the tweets that inspired them and include them in their (digital) portfolios, to reflect upon the meaning of that particular quote and how they can apply that message to their everyday (professional) lives.
Regarding Twitter class accounts, it could be great to build communities, connect and collaborate with other classes to enrich discussions so it's not just the tweets of one specific class that are posted but of different students who take the same subject. Students could also curate content such as relevant articles or quotes and post them to the class account. Students could analyze what others have said about a topic by following the specific hashtag twitter feed and retweeting the messages they find important or sharing them/embedding them to the class page or class forum or select them and organize them using Flipboard or Storify, which are tools that allow you to create a collection of content and visualize it as an online magazine (Flipboard) or a story line or timeline (Storify) of tweets of a particular topic. Finally, students who plan to work in that particular field could continue to keep the account alive and encourage others to participate.
Here are some examples of the tweets I've used from @frasesmarketing and @MKTenEspanol

Regarding this particular tweet, a student said there should be a correction: "La 'mala' reputación de una marca o una empresa no se quita con Photoshop."
Some tweets from @ORTOGRAFIA on "la tilde diacrítica. I'm posting more related tweets on a different blog entry.
Diferencia entre "tú" y "tu":
Tú (con tilde) = pronombre.
Tu (sin tilde) = adjetivo posesivo. Ej. "No eres tú, es tu ortografía".

«Té» va con tilde cuando nos referimos a la bebida, en los demás casos «te» va sin tilde.
Ej. «Tomar un té».
«Te lo dije».

We bet that you will fall in love with the city of Liverpool! The diversity of its neighbourhoods, the magnificence of its historic heritage, the richness of its architecture and the peacefulness of its parks will be the ideal scenery for your 2017 Marathon.
Marathons are a terrific way to get to know a city in-depth and discover its best-kept secrets. And a place like Liverpool has it all covered. Follow us in this guided tour through the very best of your Rock 'n' Roll Liverpool.
Read the mile by mile run down of what to expect on your Rock 'n' Roll Liverpool Marathon 2017.Register Now
Mile 0: Albert Dock: Marathon and half start off with an electric atmosphere at Albert Dock, the most visited multi-use attraction in the UK, outside London and a World Heritage Site.
Mile 0.4: the Royal Liver Building. Shortly after the start the course goes past fabulous historical attractions on Water Street. The Royal Liver Building is sited at the Pier Head Building and, along with the neighbouring Cunard Building and Port of Liverpool Building, is one of Liverpool's Three Graces, which line the city's waterfront. The Royal Liver Building is one of the most recognisable landmarks in the city of Liverpool and is home to two fabled Liver Birds (pronounced 'Lie-Ver') that watch over the city and the sea. Legend has it that were these two birds to fly away, then the city would cease to exist.
Mile 0.5: The Beatles statue. Unveiled last December, it is one of the novelties of the 2016 Rock 'n' Roll Liverpool race route. Weighing 1.2 tonnes, the sculpture was donated to the city by the Cavern Club on the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' last concert in their home city.
Mile 4.5 (marathon only): Everton FC Stadium / Goodison Park. Liverpool is just mad about football! And the marathon course runs by both clubs' stadiums starting with the Everton one, referred to by local fans as "the Grand Old Lady" (it's been there since 1892!).
Mile 6 (marathon only): Stanley Park. This lovely 110 acres area is widely known for dividing the home grounds of rival Merseyside football clubs Everton and Liverpool! But there's more than that – for example its grand terraces and the majestic Isla Gladstone Conservatory, built in 1899.
Mile 7 (marathon only): Liverpool FC Stadium / Anfield. Liverpool FC fans will get an extra boost of excitement as they get a chance to catch a glimpse of the football stadium. Did you know that Anfield was originally the home of Everton F.C. from 1884 to 1891, before they moved to Goodison Park after a dispute?
Mile 7.8 (marathon only): Everton Library. A unique, triangular-shaped building with a tiled roof. Look for the octagonal corner turret at the corner of St Domingo Road/Beacon Lane.
Mile 8.5 (marathon only): Everton Park Valley. Enjoy spectacular views of the city skyline and over the other side of the Mersey River! This is the highest land point in Liverpool.
Mile 9.5 (marathon only): The Cultural Quarter. A sequence of stunning public buildings, including the Walker Art Gallery, the Central Library and the World Museum.
Mile 1.8 (Half Marathon) | 10.2 (Full Marathon): The Cavern Club. The legendary centre of the rock and roll scene in Liverpool in the 1960s. The Beatles had their first performance there on Thursday 9 February 1961 – followed by 291 other gigs between 1961 and 1963. As you run by, make sure you don't miss the sculpture of John Lennon and the Liverpool Wall of Fame, with the names of all the groups which played at the original Cavern Club.
Mile 2.0 (Half Marathon) | 10.3 (Full Marathon): Derby Square. Home to the Queen Victoria Monument, Derby Square is the former site of the Liverpool Castle, which was demolished in the 1700s.
Mile 3.5 (HM) | 11.5 (FM): The Anglican Cathedral. Officially the "Cathedral Church of Christ in Liverpool", it is the longest (189m) and fifth biggest cathedral in the world. It is also home to the UK's biggest organ (made up of 10,267 pipes) and sports the world's heaviest bells (31.5 tonnes, with the largest one – named "Great George" – being bigger than Big Ben). Not directly on the route but still within seeing distance is also the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral (known locally as "the catholic cathedral"). Build in the 1960s, it's surmounted by an iconic tower in the shape of a truncated cone.
Mile 4.8 (HM) | 13.0 (FM): Princes Park/ Princes Avenue. The surrounding area is known to have the oldest black community in the UK.
Mile 5.5 (HM) | 15 (FM): Sefton Park. Arguably the best known and most loved park by locals. This lush green space, home to countless runs by Liverpudlians every day, also encompasses a lake and an impressive Victorian palm house.
Mile 6.8 (HM) | 17.8 (FM): Penny Lane. Legend has it that Paul McCartney and John Lennon would meet at Penny Lane junction to catch a bus into the centre of the city. The song Penny Lane was released in February 1967.
Mile 12.5 (HM) | 25.5 (FM): Brunswick, Coburg, Queens and Wapping docks. – Final dive into the Port of Liverpool, running past a series of docks and maritime buildings reminiscing of the heydays of the city as one of the world's busiest commercial and passengers' ports.Register Now
