Seniors Prescribed Too Many Painkillers
The opioid epidemic has been a frequent headline over the past few months including how opioid use impacts veterans and rural communities. A recent article from the Wall Street Journal, discusses how opioid use is also impacting seniors.
As summarized in the article: "according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Americans age 45 to 64 accounted for about 44% of deaths from overdoses in 2013 and 2014. And the proportion of adults 50 and older seeking treatment for opioid addiction has increased dramatically in recent decades."
Many primary care physicians who prescribe prescription pain killers for chronic pain to the elderly lack sufficient training concerning opioids. The Center for Disease Control has issued new guidelines which discourage opioid prescriptions or recommend starting with a low dose for a short amount of time rather than the traditional approach of a 30-90 day trail period. However, it is difficult to convince doctor's to change their approach after being trained to treat pain as aggressively as possible.
Taking the pills as prescribed and never mixing with alcohol can help prevent addiction and other side effects. However, even when taken as prescribed, opioids can still be dangerous. Do not be afraid to ask your doctor for a lower dose or to try an alternative medication.

In these competitive times all computer repair services firms should provide guarantees for its services and troubleshooting jobs to stay in business and most do in reality. A reputed company offers a guarantee of 2 to 3 months for most basic problem fixing jobs. Anything less isn't good enough and anything more should be viewed with circumspect.
How much time will you need to fix the problem?
Don't expect the computer technician to give you a straightforward answer even before he has had a look at your monitor or CPU. There might be a hard disk problem or you need to install firewall software. So, give sufficient time and leeway to the professional to check out what exactly the problem is so that he can come up with an answer.
Do you have any overhead or additional charges?
Normally, a computer repair firm does not charge anything over and above what it'd cost to fix your specific problem. The company should provide you with a ready reckoner of the standard rates for every conceivable issue.
If you'd need to go in for a major hardware replacement or install software for updating, you may contact computer technicians.
Check out with the company if they have a system for charging extra. If you're hiring a software professional from a computer repair services company that has a nationalised network and he needs to come over to your place, then you might have to pay an additional charge for home service. You'd be billed accordingly but the invoice should not contain any hidden overheads or charges.
Alternatively, you'll be paying much less if you take the trouble of leaving your PC at the company's office.

What happens during Eyelid Surgery?
In upper blepharoplasty, an incision is made in the crease of the eyelid so that the tiny scar will be camouflaged. Excess skin and fat (if indicated) are removed, and the new skin edges are sutured together for a tighter but natural-looking result.
In lower blepharoplasty, the incision is variable. If excess skin needs to be removed, the incision is made in the first wrinkle line under the lower eyelashes. Placement of the incision here not only camouflages the scar but also preserves the integrity of the muscle surrounding the eye near the lid margin to help prevent downward pulling of the eyelid (ectropion) that may sometimes result when the incision is placed too close to the eyelashes.
If no excess skin is present in the lower lid, the incision can be made inside the eyelid in what is called a transconjunctival blepharoplasty. This results in no visible scar.
In both techniques, the protruding fat in the under-eye bags is either removed or repositioned to create a more youthful midface. Following fat removal or repositioning, excess skin is removed if the external approach has been chosen. Both techniques can be combined with skin resurfacing procedures (e.g. laser or peel) and/ or Botox to address the wrinkles that may be present around the eyes.
Depending on your particular case, your eyelid surgery for both eyes can be completed in approximately 30-45 minutes.
Blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure that is usually performed under a local anesthetic with intravenous or oral sedation so that you are not fully asleep but completely relaxed with the eyelids numbed. In some cases, however, the surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Either way, you will be drowsy after your procedure and will need someone to take you home.
Asian Eyelid Surgery
Asian eyelid surgery is a surgery performed to transform eyelids with classic Asian features into more Caucasian-appearing eyelids. The surgery centers around creating a natural-looking crease in the upper eyelid, which Asians classically lack because of their anatomy. Other maneuvers involve removing the excess fat found in the upper lids of Asians.
The incision required for this surgery and the setting in which surgery is performed is the same as standard blepharoplasty, as described above. If desired, Dr. Velargo can also address the epicanthal fold found in most Asians, which is a web of skin that connects the medial portion of the upper lid to the side of the nose. Correcting this fold of tissue allows the medial corner of the eyelid to become more visible. It is accomplished by a small "z" pattern incision, and the scar usually heals in an inconspicuous way.

|Re: [VOTE] Sponsoring Howl as an Apache Incubator project
|Thu, 03 Feb 2011 05:16:55 GMT
Edward, I understand your concern with having a copy of the metastore code in Howl. However, let's separate code from governance. The reason Howl has a copy of Hive's metastore is not because we're proposing it for the Incubator, it is because in the course of developing it over the last six months we've found that Howl development needs to move much faster than Hive development can. This is appropriate, since Hive is a mature product and has at least one large customer that runs code in production very soon after it is checked in. Thus the Hive community is rightly cautious about checking in changes to the metastore. Howl, on the other hand, is new and innovating quickly, so it likes to get things checked in quickly. Over the last six months every patch Howl has made to the Hive metastore code has made it back into Hive code. But it generally takes a few weeks or more to get in. Whether Howl is a Hive subproject or an Incubator project it faces the same dilemma. The only other alternative that was suggested was to have Howl extern the metastore code from Hive and keep its patches in its build and apply them at build time. But this is very fragile, since any changes in the Hive metastore code could invalidate all those patches. We know that this is not sustainable in the long run, which is why the proposal calls out the need to resolve this one way or another as the project matures. As far as reaching an end state where Hive and Howl are not compatible, we would view that as a failure for Howl. The goal for Howl is to be a metastore for Pig, MapReduce, and Hive, not just 2 out 3. So we have a strong motivation to maintain that compatibility. In terms of governance, given that we have significant contributions coming from members of the Pig team, the Hive team, and the core Hadoop team it seemed that giving Howl its own space in the Incubator made more sense than adding it as a subproject of any one of those teams.

Actress Jordana Brewster feels she missed out on the experience of childbirth because she had to use a surrogate.
The Furious 7 star welcomed son Julian with film producer husband Andrew Form via a surrogate in 2013 and she admits she sometimes feels "awkward" when other moms talk about their delivery room memories.
"I didn't really have a choice about being open, since it was obvious I wasn't pregnant," she tells Yahoo! Parenting. "And for me it wasn't a choice; I needed to use a surrogate.
"I didn't feel judged; it's more like I felt awkward. Even recently, we were at this baby group and the teacher made the assumption, 'Well, you all birthed your children...' and I couldn't be like, 'Well, actually...' So sometimes I feel a little left out when other moms talk about what their birth experience was like, and I feel the loss of not having carried or having been able to carry.
"Luckily, I keep my circle tight and close, so I never feel judged. In many ways, I feel lucky that I was able to be open. There are so many women who are young and have to go through IVF (in vitro fertilization) and feel like they can't talk about it, and that's really unfortunate."
And the actress insists her "awkward" feelings about surrogacy won't stop her from adding to her brood.
"If I could just visualise it and make it happen, that would be awesome," she continues. "I badly want Julian to have a brother or sister, and God-willing it will happen soon."

World of Warcraft Patch Hints at Next Possible New Expansion
Fans of World of Warcraft believe they may have discovered the nature of Blizzard's next expansion due to some recent hints dropped in the game. As a result, there is speculation going around that patch 7.3, coming out this fall, will be the final major upgrade for the latest expansion, Legion.
The Burning Legion's Home
World of Warcraft: Legion was released August 2016 as the sixth expansion of the franchise, with a new story, class, equipment, and other content. The new upcoming patch for this expansion will take players to a whole new zone called Argus, which is home to the Burning Legion, itself. The area will have three different places to explore, updates for game professions, as well as new casting animations, a raid, and a new dungeon.
Information that came out about the patch suggests to players that the next expansion could take place in Kul Tiras, an unplayable area, possibly off the coast of the Eastern Kingdom, but that has had some influence in the game's story. The most recent patch 7.3 PTR revealed an armor set that caught fans' attention because of its' name, Kul Tiras, as well as a map on the skirt that looks similar to the map of Kul Tiras in the original World of Warcraft player manual.
The God of the Deep
In addition, players who know the game and lore well reason that the next mostly likely enemy in the story should be the Old Gods due to hints found in Legion. For instance, a piece of dialogue in the game states, "The God of the Deep writhes in his prison, breaking free ever so slowly. You should hurry and defeat the fallen titan… there are greater battles yet to fight," in reference to one of the Old Gods.
For the time being, much of this is just speculation, as Blizzard hasn't yet confirmed any new zones or expansions. For fans wondering if their suspicions are correct, this year's BlizzCon will take place Nov. 3 and 4.

Arn & I treated ourselves to a holiday in Zanzibar, Tanzania. Thanks to grandpa's Voyager miles for getting me there.
We thought we may as well get married while we were there, which we did on the rooftop of Stonetown's glamerous Emerson & Green. I was 3 months pregnant at the time.
Thanks to Sakina & Mahommed for arrangements.
We spent a few days in Stonetown and then made our way to Matemwe in the North East of the island. Here we lazed on the beach (Arnold hiding in a grass hut), swam, read, took long strolls down the beach, and ate lots of fabulous food (great for the morning-sickness).

China on Friday expressed unequivocal support to Pakistan on the issue of fighting terrorism, saying Islamabad had "a clear conscience" and had made "great sacrifices".
Foreign Minister Wang Yi also said "some countries" needed to give Pakistan "full credit", in what could be a veiled comment aimed at both the United States, with President Donald Trump last month hitting out at the "safe havens" there, and at India, which has called on Pakistan to crack down on terror groups that operate out of its soil and target India.
Wang's comment came following a meeting in Beijing with his Pakistani counterpart Khawaja Muhammad Asif, and just four days after China had endorsed the declaration at the BRICS Summit in Xiamen which expressed concern for the first time on several Pakistan-based terror groups.
The Xiamen declaration expressed concern on violence caused by "the Taliban, ISIL/DAISH, Al-Qaida and its affiliates including Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement, Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, the Haqqani network, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad, TTP and Hizb ut-Tahrir", though it did not name Pakistan.
Wang on Friday strongly endorsed Pakistan's counterterror efforts, which have been in the spotlight following Trump pointing to "safe havens" and the BRICS declaration for the first time naming Pakistan-based groups.
Wang's comments suggest China endorsing the BRICS statement might not necessarily imply a change in Beijing's stance of backing Pakistan diplomatically on terror issues, for instance by blocking efforts to sanction Pakistani terrorists at the UN Security Council sanctions committee.
"Terrorism is a global issue and requires concerted efforts from all countries, instead of blaming each other, countries need to work with each other", Wang said. "Pakistan is a good brother and iron friend of China. No one knows Pakistan and understands Pakistan better than China. For years Pakistan has been a victim of terror and more importantly Pakistan is an important participant in international cooperation against terrorism."
Wang said, "The government and people of Pakistan made huge efforts and sacrifice in the fight against terrorism and such efforts and sacrifice are there for everyone to see". "The international community should recognise that", he said.
"When it comes to the issue of counterterrorism, we believe Pakistan has done its best with a clear conscience. In comparison, some countries need to give Pakistan the full credit it deserves," he added.
China invited Pakistan's Foreign Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif for talks on Thursday, two days after BRICS concluded. Wang told reporters on Friday after talks that relations were "unbreakable" and had "become a steady anchor for regional peace".
Both sides held talks on deepening cooperation in Afghanistan, particularly against the backdrop of U.S. President Trump outlining his new policy. Wang said a first-ever China-Afghanistan-Pakistan foreign ministers' trilateral would be held in Beijing before the end of the year.
On Trump's new Afghan policy, which also called on India to play a greater role in security matters and evoked concern in Pakistan, Wang said China hoped it would "accommodate the legitimate security concerns of regional countries".
Both sides also discussed their ongoing projects under the massive $46 billion China Pakistan Economic Corridor. Asif, the Pakistan Foreign Minister, said that they would "respond to any threat to CPEC", although he didn't specify threats from where.
Ahead of BRICS, China had said that it would not be appropriate to discuss Pakistan's counter-terrorism and the concerns of countries like India, at the September 3 Summit in Xiamen.

A fan who invaded the stage during a Taylor Swift concert on Saturday (29Aug15) has pleaded not guilty to all charges stemming from the incident.
Christian Ewing, 26, was arrested at the Petco Park venue in San Diego, California after he ran onstage while the Shake It off hitmaker was performing. He was tackled by security guards and hauled away.
Ewing appeared in a San Diego court on Wednesday (02Aug15) and Deputy District Attorney Jessica Coto accused him of jumping a fence at the concert and injuring a security guard in the onstage altercation.
He admitted being the stage invader but pleaded not guilty to two felony charges of assault with force likely to cause great bodily injury and battery with serious injury, as well as a misdemeanour count of giving police the wrong name. He also denies a municipal code violation for entering a restricted area.
Ewing's bail was set at $100,000 as he is considered a flight risk. He is next due back in court on 14 September (15).

Jonah Jones zoomed to popularity in the late 50s. He found a successful formula and used it to brighten the hit charts with a succession of bouncy albums on Capitol Records. His quartet was one of the three newcomers in the Top 10 wide variety of small groups listed in the favorite Instrumental Billboard lists in 1958.
This was a time when rock and roll styled disks were flooding the singles record market, jazz combos were having big pop single hits, and Jonah Jones albums were among the most played by the nations disc jockeys on radio shows throughout the country. Theres little doubt that in the 1960s jazz and pop music were drawing closer together than they had been for years, and Jonah Jones was one of the best-selling artists in the business.

"I'm going to find this album very difficult to remove from my CD player! From the moment Jonah's big buttery sound filled the room I was hooked.
Warm toned and with a lively vibrato Jonah's swinging playing would suit fans of Harry 'Sweets' Edison and Buck Clayton to a tee. Seemingly simple big swinging phrases and fiery dextrous soloing, both open and in a range of very enviable mutes, show just what a star of the trumpet Jonah Jones really is.
This CD features two albums, Swingin 'Round the World and Jumpin with a Shuffle, a total of 24 delicious well-known standard tracks recorded in 1958 and 1960. Although both CD's feature just a trio with Jonah on trumpet and occasional husky-toned vocal, the accompanying trio are toe-tappingly light, swinging and tasteful, with the feel veering more towards jump jive... dare I say 'rock and roll' on tracks 13-24. Each track is no more than two and a half minutes long but this provides ample time for Jonah's infectiously joyful trumpet playing to become something you want to listen to time and again. I'd like the other six CD's now please!"
Georgina Jackson *
The Jazz Rag (October, 2014)
(*) Like Jonah Jones, Georgina Jackson began as a big band trumpeter, but has built a reputation by singing and playing the great standards, as suggested by her show, Peggy, Duke and Benny.
-Swingin' 'Round the World
"Due to his two big hits in 1957, 1958 was a busy year for trumpeter/vocalist Jonah Jones, who recorded five albums for Capitol, including this final effort. Most of Jones' dates were based around themes, and in this case he performed 11 songs having something to do with cities, countries or travel, including "Arrivederci Roma," "A Foggy Day," "Brazil," "Chicago," "Manhattan" and "Song of the Islands." Some of the songs are better served by Jones than others, and his formula with his quartet (which also included pianist Teddy Brannon, bassist John Brown and drummer George Foster) was just starting to run a little thin, although it would continue for another decade."
-Jumpin' with a Shuffle
"Trumpeter/vocalist Jonah Jones was at the peak of his popularity when he recorded this album while appearing in Las Vegas. Sticking mostly to standards rather than songs dug up for a particular concept, this is one of Jones' strongest albums from the Capitol years. With suitable if predictable support from pianist Teddy Brannon, bassist John Brown and drummer George Foster, Jones swings his way through such numbers as "Lazy River," "920 Special," "On the Sunny Side of the Street" and "My Monday Date."

Confusing results
Got my results from The Genographic Project. I'm Finnish and so are all my known ancestors.
The results say 87 % Finland and Siberia and 10 % Western and Central Europe.
The Finnish reference group:
Finland and Siberia 61 %
Scandinavia 19 %
Eastern Europe 11 %
Central Asia 7 %
Does this mean I'm more Finnish than an average Finn?
I'm wondering what the rest 3 % in me is, since it was not in the results.
The data was transferred to The Family Tree DNA and the results are 91 % Finland and 8 % British Isles. Why do they tell a different story? And there's still 1 % unknown.
Could the British/European DNA be from the times people were migrating towards the northern areas? Or do I have to suspect that my great grandmother, who never was married but had three children with unknown men, had an affair with a sailor in the port town she lived in?
I'm a little disappointed about how Finland and Siberia are put together and not opened up at all. It's a vast area all the way from Finland across the Northern Russia to Canada. Siberia is populated by Fenno-Ugrian folks, the indigenous people of Siberia who look quite Asian. I would have wanted to know how much I have Sami blood running through my vains. Sami people are the indigenous people in the Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian Lapland and a bit in the Russian side. Part of my family is from Lapland and it is very likely I have some Sami in me.
Have you had similar thoughts and questions about your results? Is there a way to get more accurate results?
Thank you.
Hi Maura,
The administrators, or someone, should put up a "sticky" permanent post, which would answer your questions, and a lot of other people's similar questions.
Most of what you ask can be answered by the fact that each company (National Geographic, FTDNA, Ancestry.com, 23andMe, etc.) use their own mix of reference populations. There may be some overlap, but in general there are differences in the groups which the companies use to compare your DNA, to estimate your ancestral ethnicities. Add to that, each company uses a proprietary algorithm to determine their own "formula" to assign groups. And, add to that, none of this is really reliable at much other than a continental level!* It is particularly hard to winnow out ethnicities which line up with current national borders, which are actually fairly recent in terms of populations.
I don't think there currently is a way to get more accurate results. Some people say that 23andMe's ethnicity breakdown is the best of the major genetic genealogy testing companies. Others like National Geographic or Ancestry's DNA test results. There have been a lot of complaints about results customers are seeing with this most recent version of FTDNA's myOrigins (which is now version 2), compared with the version 1. And yet, others are happy with their version 2 results. So it varies. You could try uploading your raw data to GEDmatch.com, and trying some of the calculation tools there.
I'm not sure which ethnicity calculators, if any, have a Sami population, even at GEDmatch.com, but perhaps someone else will know. Since you seem to be saying that your great grandfather is unknown, that might explain the non-Finn percentages. Maybe some of your matches will be of a specific heritage or from a specific location other than Finnish/Finland, and that will be a clue for you on that branch of your tree.
*see the links in another post I made in a different thread recently
Thank you, KATM, for your kind reply. It answered many of the things that have been puzzling me.
Hopefully the results will be updated as more people take the test and more research is done.
If anyone has any thoughts about the other things I wrote about, I'm more than interested to know what they are. :-)
There have been numerous studies of the Sami - linguistic, cultural, genetic - but the markers used may well not correspond to those currently being used by the commercial testing companies. I don't know. There certainly has been mt and Y testing.
I checked DNAtribes' list of STR tested populations, but even they don't seem to have a Sami sample.
Sami genetics - quick summary
Thank you for the link, abuelita, that's an interesting read. For some reason the origin of the sami has always interested me.
gedmatch has models with Sami/Saami/ populations

MDLP Project MDLP K23b Saami_Kola
MDLP Project MDLP K23b Swede_Saami
MDLP Project MDLP World Saami
MDLP Project MDLP World-22 Saami
That gives you 4 ?? suggestions for different models you can run. I don't know how to use these tools well. Someone else will need to advice.
Oh, I did upload my results to gedmatch, but haven't come across that feature yet. Thanks again, abuelita. :-) I will log in and see what I find out!
If anyone knows how to use the tools well, please share your knowledge!

Store openings took a nose dive by 84 per cent year-on-year in the second quarter this year, as economic uncertainty due to Brexit drained appetite for bricks-and-mortar space. According to the Local Data Company (LDC), the slowdown was led to a net loss of 207 shops in the quarter, compared to an increase of 1284 shops in the previous quarter. LDC's Retail and Leisure Trends Report said the figures of the first two quarters marked the biggest drop between consecutive quarters in five years

Rodney's trial attorney had a very good reputation of winning tough cases which was part of the reason Rodney's family hired him. They knew this was an extremely serious case and they knew Rodney's very life was on the line. What they didn't know at the time, but found out much later, was that Mr. Hampe also had another life. That life involved association with known criminals and legal troubles of his own; before, during and after Rodney's trials. In fact an alleged co-conspirator in a fraudulent investment scheme, Jack G. Turner, was cooperating with authorities in their investigation of Mr. Hampe at the time Rodney's case was being investigated and tried. But Mr. Turner never had the chance to tell his whole story because he was found murdered the very day Rodney's second trial started. It is hard to believe that with the ongoing legal and personal turmoil in his life, Mr. Hampe was able to give Rodney's trial the careful and professional preparation, attention and performance required to defend an innocent man in a death penalty case. Had Rodney or his family known about or been made aware of Mr. Hampe's legal issues, they would have certainly looked for a different attorney who could have focused more on his client than his own legal troubles.
Shortly after the trial Mr. Hampe cut off contact with Rodney's family and never even collected the rest of the money that was owed to him for his legal fees. Mr. Hampe left St. Louis permanently a few years after Rodney's conviction. Numerous attempts have been made by Rodney's family and attorneys to contact him but he has avoided all contact or correspondence with Rodney, his family, or his attorneys. If anyone is in contact with him or knows how to contact him please contact Rodney, his family or the Midwest Innocence Project, or ask Mr. Hampe to get in touch with us immediately. His input, feedback and explanations would be very welcomed. Thank you.

Growth in followers in 6 months
Socially driven website visits in 6 months
Audience reach throughout 2016
Since Ricoh Arena was opened in 2005, it has grown to become a diverse and iconic venue, regularly hosting elite business events and concerts for megastar artists such as Bryan Adams and Oasis. They are also the home to Aviva Premiership Rugby team Wasps, who also compete in the European Champions Cup. Hosting up to 4 events a day for 365 days of the year, Ricoh Arena wanted to harness social media, to promote, monitor and analyse their events. After noticing that their social channels were organically becoming more popular, they realised that by formalising the department and defining channel strategies, they could drive significant awareness, web traffic and ticket sales.
To make the new approach to social media a success, Ricoh Arena needed to possess the tools to successfully execute compelling content marketing campaigns, while clearly being able to see which content "sticks". Joe Hagen, the Digital Marketing Manager at Ricoh Arena was given the task of sourcing the best social media management platform for their needs. After meeting Birmingham-based specialists SocialSignIn at a conference, Joe was intrigued to find out more. "When we were evaluating social media management tools we had been struggling to find an option that would fit our needs, and our plans going forward, but after our initial demonstration with SocialSignIn we could instantly see the potential."
Proving ROI was essential for Ricoh Arena as they needed to be able to showcase their activity to the event organisers, highlighting exactly what they had achieved for them by way of social reach, engagement and ticket sales – so the suite of reports within SocialSignIn provided a fast and insightful way of doing this. Ricoh Arena also wanted the ability to create, update and manage their social content while on-the-move at live events, capturing engaging visual content. SocialSignIn's mobile app gave them the ability to do this, allowing them to post images and videos in real-time, and sharing live experiences direct to their social audience.
Since partnering with SocialSignIn, Ricoh Arena has increased their social followers by 40% in just 6 months, creating a large and engaged social community of like-minded people. Now that they know which content "sticks" and why, along with the best time to publish posts, Ricoh Arena has been able to extend its social reach by over 50 million. This online community is then leverage to drive over 50,000 more additional website hits in 6 months. Social channels are now a key contributor to ticket sales across all Entertainment and Sport events, including sell out Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna and Jess Glynne concerts.

God will never go against His own character.

This isn't something I've personally studied, but my previous pastor also referenced 2 Samuel 12:23 "But now he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me," in support of the concept that babies do go to be with the Lord.Dianne - Bunny Trailshttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370959666889791156.post-46577873150192343232011-02-23T15:09:16.422-08:002011-02-23T15:09:16.422-08:00Hello Grace!

It is absolutely essential that we live this message. We spent a couple of hours on this topic in Bible Study this week, defining enemies, talking about distinctions between Christian "enemies" and unbelieving enemies.

Continually the answer to every question we discuss is "walk in the Spirit" Lean in and listen.

I pray for "tangible ways I can show love" for my enemies. Love soften hearts. I pray for hearts to soften to receive love. Some times it takes a long time...but if we keep going, enduring insults, persecutions, floggings, God is glorified and there is a chance our dying produces life in our enemies. :)Kathy S.https://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370959666889791156.post-42342526596902405832011-02-10T09:11:07.090-08:002011-02-10T09:11:07.090-08:00SomeGirl, I enjoy your link up..

Precisely. No other religion in the world demands adherence to a doctrinal statement as the membership policy. Not even all Christianities--only Evangelical Protestantism. Everyone else, Christian or otherwise, is about what you do--not "works-based salvation" as such behavior is taught to Evangelicals but rather an acknowledgement that only the lovejoypeacepatienceetc is what matters.

Without love, all the doctrinal statements in the world are just so many clanging cymbals. Any doctrinal statement that produces lovejoypeace, that extends love and grace to every human being, is a statement of Truth, even if the words themselves contradict someone else's statement.Sandrahttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370959666889791156.post-8352281486263163632011-02-02T15:24:03.550-08:002011-02-02T15:24:03.550-08:00hahah good point...they can't agree to disagre...hahah good point...they can't agree to disagree.. you're right!

There is such a desperation for absolute certainty within protestant, especially evangelical, churches, such an overwhelming need to have the Right Answer to every question, to have every possible contingency spelled out on a doctrinal checklist, that not only does no one have to think for themselves but individuals are actively discouraged from thinking for themselves. Then when someone DOES start thinking and finds some question that wasn't answered, the first doctrinal checklist must therefore be Wrong and a whole new church/denomination must be started with this new twist on the Right Answer. And so it goes on...Sandrahttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370959666889791156.post-73313071735365024412011-01-29T20:19:41.748-08:002011-01-29T20:19:41.748-08:00Thanks, Dana. I agree.

When we understand who we are in Christ, we can btter grasp grace & then dish it out to others.

"Our strategic review has confirmed that exiting the helicopter business is the best path forward for United Technologies," said Gregory Hayes, UTC President and Chief Executive Officer. "Sikorsky is the world's premier helicopter company and through a series of strategic wins is well positioned for long-term growth. However, separation of Sikorsky from the portfolio will allow both United Technologies and Sikorsky to better focus on their core businesses. Over the coming weeks, we'll determine whether a spinoff or direct sale is the best way to enhance Sikorsky's long-term success and create the most value for customers and shareholders."
Excluding Sikorsky, UTC now expects 2015 earnings per share of $6.35 to $6.55 on sales of approximately $58 to $59 billion. The company continues to expect organic sales growth of 3 to 5 percent and cash flow from operations less capital expenditures in the range of 90 to 100 percent of net income attributable to common shareowners.
Including Sikorsky, the company now anticipates earnings per share of $6.55 to $6.85, down from the previous expectation of $6.85 to $7.05. This reduction in the earnings expectation range reflects approximately $0.10 to $0.20 of one-time separation costs along with a $0.10 decline in Sikorsky's operational expectations for the year due to weakness in the oil and gas markets.

Weekly Round-Up: PhilRice Hopes 'AlDub' Rice Paddy Attracts Millennials to Farming
By Poyen Ramos on March 3, 2016
Being updated is key to getting ahead, but we know how hard it is to make sure you've read everything you need to know to stay in the know. Well, Kalibrr is here to help you. Introducing the Weekly Round-Up: a look back on the important news and articles about employment that you may have missed out on in the last week.
We're still testing it out, and would love to hear your ideas on how to improve this weekly post (or should we still keep it at all?). Tell us what you think by leaving a comment below! For now, read up!
1. 'AlDub' rice paddy art hopes to attract millennials to farming
The Philippines' lead agency on rice research, Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice), is trying a new approach to attract young Filipinos to venture into rice farming: featuring the faces of popular celebrity loveteam Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza – better known as 'AlDub' – on rice paddies.
2. Presidential candidates as job applicants
In many companies, job applicants are screened and selected on the basis of two major criteria: Can they do the job, and will they do the job? The first tells you if the candidate has the competencies, the second if he/she has the motivation.
Orly Zorilla, DPM, a retired business executive and management consultant, emailed Inquirer a job description he crafted for the President of the Philippines. Read on to know what a qualities the potential chief executive of a whole nation should possess.
3. Financial aid available for workers displaced by K to 12 program
Teachers and other higher education institution (HEI) employees who will be displaced with the forthcoming full implementation of the K to 12 basic education curriculum this year will soon be able to avail of temporary financial assistance from the government.
the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) announced its guidelines in providing the financial assistance to employees, who will be retrenched because of the expected sharp decline in student enrollments in their HEIs due to the K to 12 program.
4. PH gov't provides hope to the unemployed youth
The Department of Labor and Employment with the help of industry partners like the SFI Group of Companies, launched the JobStart Philippines program to help solve the serious unemployment problem in the Philippines.
"The JobStart program needs industry partners like us to open doors for the youth who have not found jobs for the past two to three years. So we created our own training program for them and opened our doors for apprenticeship for the different companies," said Luis Alberto Anastacio, president and chief executive officer of SFI Group of Companies.
5. Gov't hopes to create 135,000 jobs from the HIM-BPM sectors
The Philippines expects jobs in the health information management (HIM) sector to reach 135,000 this year from only 86,0000 full- time employees two years ago.
Trade and Industry Promotion Group (IPG) Undersecretary Nora K. Terrado expects increased investments in the HIM-Business Process Management (BPM) sector as many US companies showed interest in the Philippines during the recent Healthcare Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Annual Conference and Exhibition held at the Sands Expo Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Are you out of your Vegan mind?!Posted: July 30, 2013 Filed under: Animals, News | Tags: animals, Australia, cats, current affairs, food, idiots, meat, nature, news, pets, vegan, veganism, vegetarianism 3 Comments
First of all, despite that title, I just want to say that this is not an attack on veganism. If you want to live that lifestyle, then carry on, each to his own.
Although, I will say this- if you are vegan, please, please don't walk around like that makes you better than the rest of us. It's irritating as hell and not going to win people over. Hell, I've met a few sanctimonious vegans in my day and it always just makes me want to order the mixed grill when we're out together. Just ease up, alright?
Oh, and another thing, stop equating meat with murder and dairy with rape, you're just trivializing the horrific experiences some people have gone through. You're also part of the same process that has allowed some of mankind's most cruel acts- equating other humans with animals.
Anyway, the reason I've used this title other than it's a Star Trek reference, is because I recently read a story about some frankly mental vegans.
The story comes from Australia, where a vet has had to save the life of a kitten after it became dangerously ill because of the vegan diet it's owners were feeding it.
Yes. They tried to make cat vegan.
The cat was apparently fed potatoes, pasta (presumably vegan pasta) and rice milk (which I'm guessing is more like rice juice because you can't milk rice, it doesn't have nipples), and apparently was in a very bad way. Leanne Pinfold, the vet who treated the poor critter in Melbourne stated that it was "extremely weak" and "almost non-responsive".
After being put on a drip and warmed up, the feeble feline was kept in for three days and fed meat, and is apparently on the mend now, with the owners having been given meat to feed it.
Seriously, though? What the hell?
I get that you might want to go vegan, that's your choice and as omnivores we can survive without meat, but don't force your pets to follow your ideas too. It ain't right for them. A cat is a carnivore, they're adapted to survive on meat, now, I know some folks will say "But Chris, while these people are idiots, cats can survive on vegetarian diets!" and maybe they can, but that's hardly the point.
Veganism, as far as I can tell is all about caring about nature and animals, but in this case the owners were going against nature. If you're going to respect nature, you gotta respect all of it, not just the cute, cuddly part but the fact that nature is often harsh and based on death. Or as Tennyson put it "red in tooth and claw". Animals eat other animals, it's the whole circle of life thing and how nature works.
I guaran-damn-te that even if you raise a cat veggie it'll still go out and hunt mice and birds. Why? Because that's what cats do, it's instinct.
For me it just seems ridiculous to force your ideology on an animal that quite frankly doesn't give a crap either way. A cat doesn't sit around debating the morality of eating meat or drinking milk, it just follows it's instincts. If feeding your cat or dog meat is that much of an issue to you might I suggest not getting an animal that eats meat. Get yourself a hamster, or some sea monkeys.
So, please, vegans, don't be a dick and let your animals be animals.
Story here.
Any thoughts? You know what to do. BETEO.

Yesterday, I met with a lovely couple in the Fishtown section of Philly. They own a really interesting building called the Maas building, which has a storied past, but is now used as their primary residence and an event space. Walking through these unique old buildings in Philly really gets my creative juices flowing… and also my jealousy juices. The couple's stunning home on the top floor of the building was a massive converted loft complete with a Zen garden/indoor hammock room, and tons of natural light. I wish I could show you photos, but I thought it rude to ask since I was so kindly invited into their private residence. (On another note, I was there discussing one of my new projects 13th Street Cocktails. If you're in the Philly area we will be doing a chef's tasting secret dinner party at the Maas Building sometime in January, so be on the lookout for more information.)
My meeting got me thinking about how stupid I've been to not save every penny and buy one of the worn-down, but super full of character buildings but…travel. Out of curiosity, I started to search for similar properties in Philly. Turns out the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority owns a bunch of these old buildings, and is in the business of selling them to people willing to rehab them, sometimes for as low as $1! Curious what it would take to to rehab my fictional $1 warehouse I found some shinning examples of perfectly renovated factories, and my jealousy continues…
"Originally, this Melbourne home was a leather factory, built in 1911 … now converted into a home, it even has it's own little courtyard and classic loft bedroom. The conversion retained the original baltic pine floorboards, warehouse windows and timber ceilings, lightening up the rooms, the interior exposed bricks were painted white. Furnished mostly in industrial style, complementing the style & origins of the building." Found on Dust-Jacket Attic
How about this converted warehouse in San Francisco, that now houses a seriously modern, asian inspired duplex? The concrete is a little cold for my taste, but imagine owning all that space in San Francisco. That's unheard of! Found on Freshome
Check out this mid-century inspired Tribeca warehouse! Built in 1884 as a caviar factory and recently converted, the 3,000 square foot private residence is meant to create a "visual discourse between old and new." Found on Contemporist
My new plan is to scour the city for one of the diamond-in-the-rough $1 properties, buy it, and promptly convert it into the very best Bed & Breakfast this city has ever seen. In the meantime, I'm pretty excited to watch as this rehab project finally begins after years of stalling, just down the street from me.
I wish I could find more before and after pics, but they were relatively hard to come. If anyone has some interesting examples send 'em over to email@example.com and I'll make sure to get another post up with your submissions.

Police report the arrest of a man with "several weapons" in his car in the employee parking lot at Gillette Stadium just before the NHL Winter Classic began in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
Matthew Bromson, 48, of North Granby, Connecticut is facing multiple charges, including trespassing, possession of an electric stun gun, disorderly conduct, and three counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, Foxborough police said.
Officers were notified of a suspicious man by people who say he was acting in a threatening manner with the weapons. Aside from the stun gun, police found in his car a meat cleaver, a small crossbow, and several swords.
Police also reported that the day before his arrest, Bromson was asked to leave the America's Best Value Inn, the hotel he was staying at in Foxborough. Police had assisted in his removal at that time.
The suspect was also reportedly involved in a nine-hour standoff with police in Granby, Conn.
The standoff began on September 24 when police tried to serve an arrest warrant on Bromson at his home. Bromson reportedly refused to surrender and barricaded himself in his home. Ultimately, the man surrendered with no violence.
The Boston Bruins had their own troubles that night. The Bruins lost their bout to the Montreal Canadiens in a 5-1 rout.

If you have visited Tigh Mor in the past you will have seen Ben Venue, a picturesque peak that rises over the southern shore of Loch Katrine. The Trossachs National Park is loved for its wonderfully undulating scenery and the mountains make for great walks if you're up for a bit of a challenge.
Ben Venue is by no means the largest in the National Park, it is just under 2,400ft in height (that's not quite high enough to be classed as a munro). However it is still a pretty good workout, taking you probably around two and a half hours to the top.
Setting out from Tigh Mor, the walk is reasonably easy going until you reach an old fence line, where it can get a little boggy. At the cairn the path will go left down a smaller track, or continue right to Ben Venue's summit. It can get a little steep in parts so do make sure you are wearing good walking boots!
As you get closer to the top there are two summits; from the slightly lower of the two you'll be able to get a great view of Tigh Mor. Loch Katrine and Ben Lomond are also visible and both peaks offer different views if you fancy attempting both of them. When you come to descend, it is recommended that you go back the same way that you came up.
This one is a great route for wildlife too, and Ben Venue is particularly good for deer, goats and grouse. As you're walking make sure to keep your eyes peeled for the fantastic birdlife that's all around this area.
Guests of Tigh Mor often enjoy this particular walk because it tends to be much less busy than a trek up Ben A'an, which is the other nearby peak. For a full step-by-step route guide, take a look here.
Alternatively you can take a look at all our other recommended walking routes from Tigh Mor on our walks page.
And find out how to stay at Tigh Mor for yourself by simply entering your details at the bottom of the page.

Free Stress Clinics
74.6% of employees suffer significant work-related stress or anxiety.
Jabra UK Survey GENM2013
Stress undermines an employee's productivity by 40% and kills creative thinking; now that a business's biggest asset is its people, stress is the biggest problem facing business today.
A Solution for Stress
Stress management is not a solution...it's already too late. Resilience is increasingly recognised as the way forward. But how do you learn to be resilient?
Mark Newey of Work Revolution has spent the last 13 years teaching 1-2-1 clients a genuine solution for beating Stress, Anxiety and Depression.
The Solution is extremely cost-effective: a seminar (min. 20 employees) followed by a workshop (max. 10 attendees) and where necessary a short course of Resilience Coaching. The cost of this is likely to be under £1000 per employee, but the financial benefit is in 10's of £1000's.
Free Stress Clinics: no financial risk to the client.
Work Revolution are aware that the tendency is to ignore stress and for companies to simply allow somebody time off to recover. But employees can be taught the Self Awareness and Self Esteem that enables them to become resilient.
Since this is new territory for most companies and soft skills are seen (wrongly) as being empirically unprovable, Work Revolution are prepared to take the financial risk. We will deliver a free 1 hour in-house Stress Awareness seminar, followed by 2 free 30 minute 1-2-1 Resilience Coaching sessions.
We are so confident that the company will see obvious results and wish to invest further that we can provide this service with no obligation and no catch
Please ring 0800 083 0143 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com to receive a free copy of Mark's newly published book, the naked "i", and chat about setting up a free seminar at your company.

£500m boost for UK science sector to be announced in Wednesday's Budget
The upcoming budget will likely see Chancellor Philip Hammond (pictured) allocate £500m to boost the British science sector and bolster high-tech industries in the UK.
The aim is to support "trailblazers" in sectors like 5G, electric vehicles, robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI).
It is thought that Hammond will allocate some £500m from the National Productivity Investment Fund (NPIF) to encourage UK innovators to better compete on a global stage.
The Chancellor is expected to make £270m available for a research and development challenge intended to boost the ability to operate in the most extreme and hazardous environments by developing AI, and robots, for off-shore and nuclear energy, space, and deep mining.
The move is also seen as a way to develop speedier ways of manufacturing medicine.
The Budget is expected to see £90m given to fund 1,000 PhD places, and £200m to support new fellowships for researchers.
Hammond is also likely to speed-up the national roll-out of "full-fibre" broadband.
The Government looks set to encourage private firms to invest in full-fibre networks by introducing vouchers for local businesses to incentivise take-up where new networks are built, and upgrading connections to public buildings, such as schools and hospitals.
The Budget continues a focus on technology and infrastructure that was also present in last November's Autumn's statement which offered funding for research and development, digital rail signalling and broadband networks.
Earl Yardley, director at Industrial Vision Systems which develops products featuring AI, said: "These announcements will ensure that UK manufacturing is placed at the centre of a better-balanced economy and demonstrates that investment in cutting edge industrial automation and artificial intelligence will drive manufacturing growth for years to come.
"Investment in skills today will pay dividends for generations to come, enabling the UK to harness the technological innovations to deliver projects that improve business and communities and thus deliver economic growth.
"Adoption of automation technology is growing rapidly and at Industrial Vision Systems we have witnessed clear evidence that UK manufacturers in sectors such as automotive, electrical, and pharmaceutical, are adopting standard manufacturing principles which have been used in German manufacturing for many years, and this has resulted in a transition which has seen the performance of the manufacturing sector in the UK change significantly through continuous investment, and all for the better.
"UK factories continue to make products that are more competitive now than at any time in the modern era. This investment in the engineers of tomorrow along with cutting edge industrial automation ensures we are heading in the right path to make Britain the world leader in artificial intelligence and robotics."

Pak origin credit card fraud king exposed in USDecember 7th, 2007 - 1:09 pm ICT by admin
Washington, Dec 7 (ANI): A Pakistani of American origin is in big trouble after his son informed the police that his father carried credit cards that did not bear his name.
Saarum Sodagar, 22, of Chicago went to the police after his father, Afzal Sodagar, threatened to kill him following an argument.
Saarum told police his father struck him in the arm and threatened him with a gun, prosecutors said.
The son also allegedly told police that Sodagar's only income was from credit card fraud. Saarum said later, "I wanted (police) to catch him red-handed."
Officers looking for weapons last week searched the home of Afzal Sodagar and noticed several thick envelopes stuffed with 100 dollars bills, as well as many credit cards in a briefcase.
They found hundreds of credit cards, 11 Illinois identification cards with Sodagar's photos — but bearing other names — on them.
Police also found at least 36 Social Security cards, gold coins and bars and more than 60,000 dollars in cash, said a spokesman for the Cook County State's attorney's office.
Bail for Sodagar, 51, was set at three million dollars during in the Skokie branch of Circuit Court.
In his dealings with Chicago's Muslim community, Sodagar, whom family members say uses his middle name, has portrayed himself as the chief executive of a television production company.
But in arguing for the high bail, prosecutors said he apparently has no job.
Officials at the Muslim Community Centre told the Chicago Trinbune that Sodagar was a volunteer but had no corporate responsibilities.
Sodagar has been relieved of his volunteer duties since his arrest, according to the group, the Daily Times reported. (ANI)
