A group of fishermen were able to rescue several striped bass that somehow became trapped in a landlocked lake.
Little Silver Lake in Point Pleasant Beach is currently undergoing dredging. The fishermen say that they did not know how the fish got there, just that they were going to save them.
"I saw them all lined up just setting next to each other…30-40 inch fish and I was like, 'These are big fish,'" said fisherman Chris Schlegel.
"You'd see stuff flopping around in the water and when it got down to where it looked like maybe a foot of water or so, we thought we should probably do something at least to try to get out there to see if we can save something," said Dave Miles.
Fisherman Tyler Spader said that he was able to see some of their dorsal fins pop out of the water.

Undercover Writing: Flashlight Required

|Oct 14, 2017
3p.m. Have you ever wondered how your favorite sleuths crack the clues to solve their mysteries? We will create five mystery plots that kids can take home as a story starter to write their own mystery. Revisions are where the mystery magic happens as we discover how to plant red herrings (not real fish) and clues that will keep your readers guessing all the way to the end of the book. Super sleuths will also learn to write coded messages not even their parents can decipher with their own Nabatean code wheel. For ages 8-13. Mariner Library, 520 128th St. SW in Everett.

Regarding the future of St Aldhelm's Church Building
Concerns regarding the future of St Aldhelm's church building on Chessel Street have been circulating recently on social media and in the local magazine 'The Pigeon'. The elected leadership team of St Aldhelm's, (the DCC), has been researching sustainability and recently voted on its findings especially regarding finance and volunteers.
We are delighted to announce that the church is going to stay open as a Christian and community resource right in the heart of The Chessels. This is not to say that we wouldn't benefit from closer collaboration with the neighbourhood to ensure the best long-term use of this large indoor space which inevitably requires considerable effort to maintain.
Community use is a big part of our vision for the building and hope that those groups currently using the building will continue to want to do so and look forward to welcoming others. We appreciate partnering with you to enjoy the building. If you would like to know more about how you might participate in plans to sustain the building do please do talk to us.
We are looking forward to this next stage in the life of our church, and hope that many others will join us in it.
With our best wishes
Revd Andrew Doarks, (Priest-in-Charge) & St Aldhelm's District Church Council

I started using Express Invoice only a few days ago. I'm very pleased about it until now. I tried to find other invoice software before, but I only got Quicken. It can only deal with personal finance matters, but I need one for my business. Express Invoice is quite good software for small business.
Express Invoice can help me create invoices easily. However, when I first design my own invoice, I was a little confused, because it is not exactly what I want. But the result is still satisfying.
Express Invoice is appropriate for a new starter like me. It doesn't cost so much and it's very useful. I believe after my business goes on the right track, I will buy the full version.
Express Invoice is a very functional and useful tool. You can set it up easily.One tip here: Remember to set the tax portion before you create an invoice, or the tax won't be counted.Express Invoice is functional enough for almost all the basic invoice operations. If you are running a business with more than 5 employees, you need to pay for the full version. Worth my investment!
I regretted paying more than $100 to buy Quickbooks. Express Invoice has similar features as Quickbooks does, and can work as good as (or even better than) Quickbooks for beginners. What's more, if I'm not satisfied about it, I can get a refund. Really risk free!
What a useful invoice management tool! I use it to deal with my freelance writing business. It records every case with exact time for me. When I need a quick overview of my recent business, Express Invoice can provide me with a detailed report. It can even send me emails and print unpaid invoices whenever I need. It is very good and advanced. Helpful!
Express Invoice is very good and intuitive invoice software. I have never used other invoice software yet, so I can't tell if it's the best one, but it works very well for me. It is appropriate for those who want simple operations. I bought it here with a discount. The price is fairly nice!

Media giant Time Inc.'s acquisition by Meredith is usually key to boosting its digital business, offering the item a fighting chance against "giant tech monsters" like Facebook in addition to also also Google, the company's chief content officer, Alan Murray, said Thursday.
The $2.8 billion deal, backed by an affiliate of billionaire brothers Charles in addition to also also David Koch, was announced in November.
"The important thing to realize about This particular merger is usually which, when you put the two companies together, we become the sixth largest digital media operation inside the United States — 174 million unique visitors to our sites," Murray told CNBC on Thursday on the sidelines of the Fortune Global Forum in Guangzhou, China.
"the item makes the combined company a serious digital player, which is usually what you have to be in today's media world," he added.
According to Murray, the media industry is usually facing an exceptionally tough period because of the digital disruption. "Giant tech monsters" like Facebook in addition to also also Google are taking the lion's share of digital advertising without having to spend on creating content, he said.
"The only way you have a chance to survive in This particular world is usually to have great scale, or to have a very secure, modest niche," Murray said.
Time carries a market capitalization of $1.8 billion, while Meredith's stands at $3.1 billion.
Time has also been inside the news of late because President Donald Trump alleged in a Twitter post which the flagship magazine had reached out to him in addition to also also implied he would likely "PROBABLY" be named the "Man (Person) of the Year."
Trump tweet: Time Magazine called to say which I was PROBABLY going to be named "Man (Person) of the Year," like last year, nevertheless I would likely have to agree to an interview in addition to also also a major photo shoot. I said probably is usually no Great in addition to also also took a pass. Thanks anyway!
The magazine denied which account, in addition to also also Murray had said on Twitter which there was "not a speck of truth" to Trump's claim. Asked by CNBC about the disagreement with the president, Murray said: "I can't begin to fathom the internal workings of the president's mind."
Time's actual selection for "Person of the Year" was the "The Silence Breakers" — women who spoke out against sexual harassment

I wish Canada and USA would just make their own brands of pet food and treats. China doesn't care about our pets, and I'm starting to think that pet food companies are crazy buying their products.
I shop at Walmart in Soo Mich, and have bought my small dogs Chicken strips in the pet food department for a while now. They just love them. Today I saw on the US news that they are being recalled.
These are them:
There is also another brand that has been recalled, but I didn't catch the name.
This is an ASPCA pet food and treat recall list, but obviously, since these Bestro strips aren't on there, it isn't updated every day.
This is sickening, and scary. I'll be taking the chicken strip pouches back to Walmart the next time I go over. I'll have two very disappointed pooches, but at least I know (for the time being), that I'm not poisoning them.

Happy Tuesday everyone! It's the last day of May, I guess I really should finish this post which has been in my draft folder for quite some time. For those of us who appreciate Hermès, a trip to Paris won't be complete without dropping by one of their stores. Among all H stores in Paris, the newly opened one on the left bank is my absolutely favorite. There is nothing spectacular from the outside. However, stepping inside, the first thing that embraces you is the smell. Since the entrance of the store is a flower shop bursting with most gorgeous blooms by florist Baptiste Pitou. Further inside comes the most amazing part of the store, an installation made of curved strips of ash wood by architect Denis Montel. More surprises come when you walk further, there are even a book shop and a tea bar inside! The three floored store is used mainly to showcase furniture and homewares. But you can also find a small counter for scarves as well as one section for leather goods. Even if you are not into Hermès, their store on Rue de Sèvres is well worth a visit. ;-)

wow, I think I may have to drop by on my next trip to Paris.
Wow!! Thanks for sharing pics of Hermes! I would love to visit one day! (It was under construction when we were in Paris.)
so beautiful! such an elegant space to wander and admire everything. i'm curious to see what the H boutique in Shanghai is like…have you heard about their new Chinese luxury line, 'Shangxia'?
Thank you so much for sharing! I am always fascinated by your unique view. The store seems a blast. :)
Thank you for sharing those inspiring pictures, of course it's worth a visit!
What a wonderful design!! Thanks a lot for sharing. I will definitely pay a visit!
Unique store. Love the bouquets.
What a beautiful store!! Now I must go there! Thank you for the wonderful pictures!
am also a big fan of Peony, though they dont last long.
the short-lived beauty has a mixture of elegance and fragility.
I'm out of league here. Too much brain power on dislpay!

Former Ivory Coast captain, Didier Drogba has defended suspended Serge Aurier claiming the Paris Saint-Germain defender had been treated unfairly over his ban for abusing coach Laurent Blanc.
The 23-year-old Ivory Coast International was suspended by his club last Sunday after being caught on the social media video site Periscope verbally abusing PSG boss Blanc. He also took aim at several team-mates including striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. His suspension ruled him out of his team's 2-1 win over Chelsea in the Champions League on Tuesday.
In a post on Twitter on Wednesday, the Montreal Impact striker complained that Aurier's treatment for directing homophobic abuse against Blanc amounted to double standards.
Although Aurier has since apologized for his rant, Drogba said he believed the reaction to the Ivory Coast international's comments had been excessive.
"I don't often comment on these things but the way my little brother @serge-aurier has been treated over the past few days has really upset me so I feel the need to say something," Drogba said.
"Yes he made a mistake, yes he said things he should not have said, but we have all made mistakes, players (myself included), coaches, managers, referees, club presidents, even the fans!
"Even the people saying he should be 'put in jail'…. how can young players learn from their mistakes if they are not given the proper support and advice?
"Should we not be educating younger players on how to behave, preparing them for a world where social media can make or break your career?
"Or are we simply pointing the finger and banning some players but not others? Which simply achieves nothing… Bon courage mon frere. #justiceadeuxvitesses'".
World Cup-winning former France defender Blanc was unimpressed by a subsequent apology from Aurier.
"Lots of people in this new generation spend their time apologising. Rather than do that they should think more before they do anything," he said.

Please see below my speech seconding the motion on overcrowding put by Cllr. Asraf. Thank You Mayor,
I support what Cllr Ashraf has said. I have seen examples of people living in cramped housing conditions when people, including children, are forced to share a small amount space. Overcrowding is a big issue and as my colleague Cllr Ashraf points out it the statutory definition is just too weak. We need to look again at our Allocation Policy and all Councillors should be able to have an input into this."

Bauway CE4 LR Clearomizers – $2.07
…its smart-vapes
Here is a good deal on some clearomizers. These are a little different in the sense that they can use any drip tip. So your getting a clearo and a 510 drip tip for $2.07.
I have used these and they hit pretty hard for a clearomizer. These are very low resistance so they work great even on a 3.7v ego. I have had a few come in at 1.3 ohms.

Remember this post? Well, I got through Grandma's life story and boy, is she a hoot. I've decided to type it up myself and make a book through Blurb. I have asked my Great-Aunt and Great-Uncle to send me any photos they had growing up with GGR. I have received some already and scanned them in, but still want more for my book. There were some great shots like this one:
and this one:
This will be a lengthly process as some of these photos need repairing, and I don't really know what I'm doing. But I am looking forward to this project! When I'm finished, I can put it up on Blurb for the family to purchase – that way I don't have to take orders from long lost relatives that I never see or talk to, but at least they will have the option.

The contemporary world urgently needs the service of educational institutions which uphold and teach that truth is 'that fundamental value without which freedom, justice and human dignity are extinguished' (Veritatis splendor, n. 4). – Saint John Paul II
Our schools are so blessed to have such a vital and active group of parents, grandparents, alumni and supporters. We love our schools — and it shows. We could not keep going without you. THANK YOU!
Catholic Schools across the state and nation are once again recognizing their mission and importance to the Church. Our schools are a very important element of the New Evangelization of the Church. Pope Francis reminds us that the education of our children and young is essential to our Faith.
In previous newsletters and blogs, I have discussed some of the data that shows that Catholic Schools are vital to the Church and society (Pray for our Schools and LCSS – A Promising Future), and it is through the generosity of our community that we are able to continue this work. Tuition alone does not cover the cost to educate our children, and every year we must bridge the gap between what tuition covers and the total cost to educate. It is vital. The Spirit Fund and other annual efforts help to cover that gap.
After nearly closing for good in 1990, Central Catholic reopened after the generous response from parents, the community, alumni, and our parishes. Since 1991, the One-in-the-Spirit biennial campaign has been instrumental in ensuring that our Catholic schools remain a vital part of the Church and of the lives of so many students and families. The One-in-the-Spirit campaign was designed to help keep tuition at affordable levels so more families could afford a Catholic education for their children.
This year, we are making a few changes to One-in-the-Spirit. This essential fundraising effort is now the Spirit Fund annual appeal. While it will be operated annually, its purpose and goals will still be the same. For 2016, our goal is $330,000 or about $345 per student. Your generosity and continued support are very much appreciated. Please consider making a donation or pledge today: Spirit Fund

Fastest way to craft berita sw/gunner set from 0 tailoring
I want to know quickest and fastest way to craft them,do I need to learn essencetapping too ? Please guide me from 0 to 500p.Thank you a lot.
Re: Fastest way to craft berita sw/gunner set from 0 tailoring
[QUOTE=Nelewen - Siel;2075065]I want to know quickest and fastest way to craft them[/QUOTE]
Do your work orders, but once you get to the level where you can craft the Xilix/Anathe/Hoca (asmo) or Sobi/Linon/Prolix (elyos) textiles/threads do those as well, as you'll need them for your expert/master quests. If you have alts, buy the morph recipes for those mats and mass morph them ahead of time so you have all your mats ready for the master quests.
At 400p you can also level processing balic mats (scales/bloods/skins), check the broker or spam lfg for stacks of mats as there's always someone with hundreds of those saved up (if you own a house there's a guestbloom for balic mats as well).
For +500p, try Ancient Red Crystals (you'll need a lot of Ancient Aether), or if you have spare AP try siege weapon components (AP mats are tradeable so you can buy them on alts too).
If you have crafting amulets saved up, I'd pop them at 400~500p and afk craft at night (haven't leveled professions in a while but with a 200% crafting amulet I got from 500 to 515 or so before it expired).
[QUOTE]do I need to learn essencetapping too ? Please guide me from 0 to 500p.Thank you a lot.[/QUOTE]
Not really needed, 5.0 introduced NPCs (base city at Norsvold/Iluma) that sell 4.x gatherables (you'll need Ponica for the SW skin) with a limit of 10 per day, so just log all your alts and buy them.
As for 4.x balic mats (mortal envys, gleaming bloods/scales/skins), there used to be a larger supply back in 4.x thanks to bots, now you either spam lfg or cry while grinding in Idian Depths (top left corner of the map). Barracks mobs, enshar/cygnea balaurs, and elite 65 balaurs in Gelk/Inggi drop them too (Idian Depths mobs are easier as they're normal mobs, though you can also farm elites there).
As for the animas, it's another mat that has less supply now as bots moved on to the new maps, but broker/lfg supply should be enough as 1 anima gets you 10 Ophidan Textiles/Leathers, even farming them yourself shouldn't take long.
Regarding the gunner skin, you can also get it from EB (magic leather version) so it'd be cheaper/faster to buy it from someone, as crafing it requires mob drop mats (Sublime Rawhide) that you can't buy from npcs (unlike the Ponicas for the SW skin)
Re: Fastest way to craft berita sw/gunner set from 0 tailoring
I need at least 2 proc to make skin I'm curious if I should do this :/
I heard in producer letter from Korean they're considering to reintroduce balic skin to aetherforge so I guess I'll wait and see for now.

The Wall - Balaclava - Breakfast
9593 8280
There's an incongruity between the inside and the outside of The Wall. Outside, this appears to be an über hip outpost of Fitzroy camped out in East St Kilda. The kind of place that you think about applying heavy eye make-up despite getting out of bed on a Sunday MORNING. Only two small tables outside, and a couple of long cushioned benches against a sunny brick wall. Order from cool young things in tight jeans and black rock t-shirts through the-hole-in-the-wall counter and linger in the warmth of the sun as you sip your coffee.
Inside, the decor is all post-industrial and matched/mis-matched found local things, like the old wooden sign from a Kosher Butcher (which, though nodding to the area's Russian-Jewish history, jarred as most of the meat on the chalk-board menu was pig by-product (bacon, ham and pancetta) is also fits the more 'Northside' sensibility of the cafe. The customers inside don't fit the image of The Wall. Which is, I'm guessing, due to the menu.
All sorts of toasted pide make up the menu aside from a jungle curry added as almost an afterthought in small letters right at the bottom. And the place is packed with small people eating plain buttered or ham/cheese/tomato toasted pide with their small sticky fingers and drinking babycini attended upon by their big people eating smoked salmon and roquette toasted pide or pide filled with varying combinations of salad and ham or pancetta. Well, I would too! If I had a small person, I'd love the wall. Food that they'll eat without fussing over and seats that they won't fall out of unless they try very hard.
I enjoyed the baked beans that I ate but I wouldn't call them a knockout dish (I did dig the presentation - it was smart). My coffee was very good and I'd rate it ******** according to fluffy's rating system (though thankfully it didn't come in the uncomfortable cup, just the standard $1.50 glass). Don't get me wrong, the food was fine just very standard cafe fare especially where there is so much variety nearby.
Next time I go, I'll stick with coffee, sit on the bench and do the crossword or simply watch the world go by.

Is it sacreligeous to confess that I'm not that into them?
(They have a selection of muffins/hedgehog/genre things too)

I love the heavy-eye make up comment. Being a born and bred Northsider I know exactly what you mean.
Although nowadays I get too depressed when I visit my former home of Brunswick St, cause it's all designer threads, sunnies and ironed hair.
My eye make up on a Sunday morning is there from the night before, and I don't really fancy having to clean it off and re-apply full make up just so I can have my eggs.
I love Portugese tarts, anything with custard rocks my boat, not such a huge fan of muffins, hedgehogs etc.

its been depressing watching carlisle st go the way of Brunswick st. there is something - as you put it - jarring about the whole fitout, the bleeding boga-sexualism from the blandified acland st up the road.
i got real tired of the Lana Turner wannabes, bad service [how do you know i'm not going to make you famous??!!], and mundane suburban food disguised as nu-cool

this place has great turkish toast, with hard proper butter and vegemite, that you self apply. the coffee tastes good but i have had problems in the past with a top-heavy crema, ie about half the latte foam the rest coffee.
and the attitude of some of the waiters; fucked.
good point jaded, how do they know i really am just a frumpy uncool housewife? i could be a talent spotter dressing down?

by the way, hard to get a table there too.
just walk across the street and up the road a bit, under the train line overhead. there are a group of three cafe/restaurants on the right. go into the first one, can never remember the name. gattaca? with the nicest man in the world there, and food to die for. and there used to be a spunk with dreadlocks doing coffee. with the cutest grin.
have i said all this already on this blog?
nevermind. try there. you'll like it.

Ummm... I've not worked out the difference between those egg tarts you get at yum cha and the portugese custard tarts, apart from slight cosmetic differences. Doofus?

nearest the station or furthest from, mg?
Furthest (closest to Westbury st) is Gattaca. They have strange toilets.
The one closes to the station keeps changing it's name. I like the courtyard at this one.

um elaine if you go under the rail overpass and you are walking towards westbury, you pass a newsagent, an asian grocer and then you get to the first of three cafe/restaurants. it's that one. it's more open and spacious than the other two, and has a great chef. not sure about a courtyard though.

The Glasses are okay for coffee but cups are still important. These days, when I take my parents anywhere I have to ask especially for a cup with a handle because they cannot manage to hold a glass.
I miss Balaclava. I lived there when I was little. It has changed a lot since then but some things needed changing. Now I know where the top rated coffee lives. Thanks for that.

I have another request.
But first: Thanks for all the previous advice on good duck eating places, it was all very much appreciated. However, somehow I got distracted somewhere in chinatown and I ended up having my first duck in Post Mao Cafe, not one of the places recommended, but hey, it's called Post Mao Cafe. It was most glorious and charming. and since then I've never looked back.
Now, my request: My boyfriend has a Japanese exchange student staying with him and his family at the moment, we were thinking it would be nice to take him out to dinner, but, we are stuck for ideas. Any suggestions.

What kind of food? Area? Price range?

- Djali said...
Hmm, good questions. We're not picky about what kind of food, but, maybe not Japanese. Price range: anywhere between $12 - $25 per main. Location: Anywhere around Brunswick, Carlton, Fitzroy or the city center is most preferable but we are prepared to travel for something special.
- 5/10/2006 04:11:00 pm

Hmmm. Here are some of my faves off the top of my head. No Asian ones so they can try something diff.
Italian: Grossi Florentino's Cellar Bar, Bourke St. Best pasta in Melbourne, and not nearly as pricey as the restaurant. Or for authentic Italian home kitchen vibe complete with arguments about what makes a good bolognese, the kitchen at Pellegrinis. Enoteca Silena, Lygon St Carlton NORTH. And the original, Donnini's on Lygon St, looks fancy but the food is simple Italian home style, and yum. Italy 1 is good, as is the one across from it, and Roberto's in Richmond. Universita on Lygon do some nice pastas too.
For yummy cakes etc. Brunetti's (Carlton/City), although keep in mind Japan already has some of the best pastry chefs in the world.
Moroccan Soup Bar, as reviewed on WDCOF.
Momo (city), it's sister Zum Zum (Rathdowne).
Ladro in Gertrude for pizza and Enoteca across the road for wine and French cheese, sausage etc. Dantes up the road is nice too.
Movida (city) for Spanish (worth booking), Canary Club (Melb. Place) if there's too long a wait (try their prawns, and you can lounge upstairs on the day beds).
Rathdowne Tavern is good too. Haven't been to Taxi yet, heard it's good.
The pizza at Bimbo, Brunswick St, is nice and cheap, although don't go there on a weekend night.
Also Babka there is great for breakfast/lunch.
Also Greek and Turkish restaurants, anyone got any suggestions?

Re the tarts..
From my recollection, the difference between the the yum cha variety and the portugese is all in the pastry. I think you can get such yum cha tarts in the asian bakery in Little Burke St.
I could be making this up but I think the pastry a la portugese is much flakier. And the portugese you get in cafes always seems to be served cold, whereas I seem to remember the yum cha experience - at least in the restaurant - was warm??? Both are yummy to the custard tart lover, but yes it is my contention that there's a difference!
Of course, it's still hard to go past the nutmeg laden good ol' custard tart from the ubiquitous Ferguson Plaire. ...for voluminous custard that is.

SERIAN – Sarawak has asked the police and military to ensure that rabies does not spread from Kalimantan in Indonesia across the common border to Sarawak.
Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas said today it was unsure as of now whether the disease had spread from Indonesia but it was necessary for precaution.
"There is a possibility that the disease could have spread from there (Indonesia)," he said to reporters when monitoring the vaccination of pet dogs and cats in Kampung Paon, Sungai Rimu Bakung, near here.
Also present were Sarawak Assistant Minister of Housing and Public Health Dr Annuar Rapaee and Sarawak Health Department director Dr Jamilah Hashim.
Uggah was asked to comment on the statement by Federal Deputy Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Hilmi Yahaya that he did not discount the possibility that the rabies in Sarawak had spread from Kalimantan.
Asked to comment on the vaccination exercise, Uggah said Sarawak received advice from the federal government and used the standard operating procedure applied during a rabies outbreak in Perlis, Kedah and Penang several years ago.
"We hope that with the quick action taken by all agencies such as the Veterinary Services Department, Health Department and NGOs, the disease can be brought under control as fast as possible.
"We can adapt the experience from the situation in Perlis, Kedah and Penang and the SOP here," he said.
Uggah said 6,000 vials of vaccine for dogs and cats had arrived in Sarawak.
The Sarawak government yesterday declared five villages in the Serian district rabies-infectred and ordered the vaccination of all pet dogs and cats in a 10-km radius of the villages. The villages are Kampung Kerait, Kampung Paon Rimu, Kampung Paun Rimu Bakung, Kampung Remun and Kampung Lebor.
Two children, a six-year-old girl and her four-year-old brother, died of rabies yesterday at the Sarawak General Hospital. A seven-year-old girl is undergoing treatment at the hospital.
Meanwhile, Dr Annuar said 68 cases of dog bite were reported by the people in the five villages between April 1 and July 1.
However, he said, there had been no cases of dog bite after July 1.
He advised the villagers to quickly send anyone bitten by a dog to hospital. – BERNAMA

FORT LAUDERDALE — When John Keister pulled his starters four minutes into the third quarter, the South Plantation coach had conceded defeat in the District 13-4A championship game.
After several controversial calls by the officials, Keister was whistled for a technical foul and moments later pulled his starters with Dillard leading 48-29.
The host Panthers (26-3) cruised to 71-54 victory and captured their fifth consecutive district championship under coach Butch Ingram. It was the fourth victory over the Paladins (24-6) this season.
``I don`t mind playing five against five, but when you`re playing against seven (two officials) it just isn`t fair,`` Keister said. ``Even the Dillard athletic director was involved. He was harrassing the officials during play and they did nothing about it.``
But all was not lost for the Paladins, as they will still advance to the regional tournament as the district runner-up. The Paladins will travel to play Miami Lakes a 43-42 winner over Carol City in the region semifinals Tuesday. The Panthers will host Carol City in the other semifinal.
Courtney Rosegreen led four Panthers in double figures with 18 points. Leon Harden (14), Dwayne Hackett (11), and Eric Dooling (10) aided the Panthers, who have won 18 consecutive games.
Rosegreen and Harden combined for 23 points in the first half as trhe Panthers built a 40-27 halftime lead.
``I couldn`t believe he quit like that,`` Ingram said. ``That showed no class on his (Keister) part. We were beating them by 19 points at the time and he just gave up. I felt that we got cheated the first three times we played them, but we didn`t quit and ended up winning.``
William Mauger led the Paladins with 12 points. The Paladins actually cut into the Panthers` lead after the starters left the game. Scott Paddock was held under 10 points for the second consecutive night with 9.

The Young Tradition
+ {Royston Wood & Heather Wood}…
Steeped in the old tradition, from a period long before the English folk revival took hold, The YOUNG TRADITION (Peter Bellamy and Royston Wood) actually got together in 1964, although it would be months later, with the addition of Heather Wood (no relation), that the triumvirate were properly formed. Taking their cue from earlier oral folk groups such as The COPPER FAMILY, the trio based themselves around the south of the country (Bournemouth and Surrey), releasing LPs under the auspices of Nat Joseph, boss at Transatlantic Records.
THE YOUNG TRADITION (1966) {*6}, included trad fare such as `Byker Hill', `Lyke Wake Dirge', `The Bold Fisherman' and `The Banks Of Claudy', while the album was lauded for its patronage of musical times long thought forgotten. Quite Baroque or Elizabethan in their unique chamber-folk approach, two other sets appeared in relatively quick succession: SO CHEERFULLY ROUND (1967) {*6} and GALLERIES (1968) {*7}, the latter featuring guest spots from organist/arranger DOLLY COLLINS and fiddler DAVE SWARBRICK, already known in folk circles due to their respective associations with SHIRLEY COLLINS and MARTIN CARTHY; the Early Music Consort (David Munrow, Christopher Hogwood, and Rod and Adam Skeaping) gave the album its medieval flavour.
Disgruntled by the direction the trio were taking, BELLAMY upped sticks and almost immediately delivered solo albums for Transatlantic producer Bill Leader; the trio's shelved 1969 recording, THE HOLLY BEARS THE CROWN {*6}, a festive collaboration with SHIRLEY and DOLLY COLLINS (plus Adam and Rod Skeaping), went unheard until its belated release in the mid-90s. Meantime, Royston joined The ALBION COUNTRY BAND, then SWAN ARCADE; Heather subsequently joined Crossover.
Billed as by ROYSTON WOOD & HEATHER WOOD, NO RELATION (1977) {*6} would prise back a few fans (helped no doubt by having names like BELLAMY, HUTCHINGS and NICOL on board); among several trad tunes of course, Royston briefly became a songwriter with `The Cellar Door – Lovin' Bessie', Heather also on the lonesome, `Foolish, Incredibly Foolish'. Tragically, Royston was to die on 8 April 1990, after three weeks in a coma following a car accident in the US. If that wasn't sad enough, PETER BELLAMY committed suicide a year later.

Technology as a Craft of Deceit.
Thompson, Mark E.
This essay briefly presents the evolution of technology and the resulting warnings that many prominent writers have offered in defense of an analytic inquiry into man's interaction with technology. Various ways in which technology has been used to manipulate people are described, e.g., Vietnam, Watergate, the CIA, the Tuskegee Study, Subliminal Seduction, and Nuclear Weapons. The reader is warned that sophisticated technology needs to be carefully controlled, and society should not become too dependent on it. (Author/RAO)

The world is experiencing technological advances which can improve efficiency and productivity
LONDON, 5 July 2017 - We're standing on the edge of a technological transformation unlike any other we've experienced. Referred to as 'The Fourth Industrial Revolution', the sheer magnitude of tech advances is drastically altering the way we live, work, and communicate with each other.Today, we live in a VUCA world where volatility, uncertainty, chaos and ambiguity rule. This may be geo‐political, but increasingly technology is at the heart of this disruption. We can see the 'disruptors' all around us. Uber and Air B&B use software to challenge the taxi and hotel markets while Amazon provides unrivalled convenience to customers and access to an enormous market place for retailers.We have seen vast changes in the construction space too both with the impact on the design and construction process and also through changing construction techniques. Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been a big topic of discussion at JLL and the wider construction industry because it has enormous potential to impact our space. Traditionally, construction was reliant on two‐dimensional technical drawings with plans, sections and elevations – these were then augmented to 3D to provide width, height and depth. BIM, however allows us to transform further through time (4D) and cost (5D). Indeed, 100 years ago, we could build to ten storeys, but nowadays it feels like we can pierce the sky thanks to evolving construction technology. In 2017, we have 3D printing technology building bridges in Holland and homes in China. The way construction methods and materials have changed and the pace in which it has happened is simply extraordinary. And it's only going to continue.Given the impact of technology on real estate, we must ensure that we best position ourselves to adapt and succeed in our new environment. JLL's recent Future of Work report highlights the model we can use to turn this disruption into opportunity. There are five areas that we need to consider: Human Experience, Digital Drive, Continuous Innovation, Operational Excellence and Financial Performance.Human ExperienceThe growing focus on wellness shows the importance organisations are placing on their greatest asset ‐ their people by ensuring that any space occupied best supports their comfort and productivity. For instance, workspace is now more liquid. Coffee shops and hotel lobbies are increasingly being used as office space while smart technology can track building and room occupancy and adjust lighting and temperature. Even retailers are using sensors and smart devices to monitor footfall. This technology is providing valuable data and information which feeds into future planning to meet demand. I would argue that as real estate professionals, we are moving away from a product creation role to a value creation role. And the value of real estate in the future will increasingly depend on the benefits provided to its occupiers.Digital DriveData will increasingly define the needs of real estate. But to understand the value of the data we capture, we must understand how to interpret and use it to our advantage. At JLL, we are embracing Artificial Intelligence (AI) through Leverton, which provides lease intelligence to help us enhance our people and business performance. However, we realise that AI should be used to support human work rather than replace it. Increasingly, business are realising the benefits of deploying 'shy' technology which operates in the background collecting information that can feed into facilities management and other real estate functions. Tracking employee ID badges could provide valuable information on how people move around the workplace and which areas are most busy for example.Continuous InnovationIn order to progress, we must embrace continuous innovation. In real estate, there is ample opportunity. 3D space capture and visualisation are already being used to sell space and projects to clients. In Dubai, JLL has a client who uses webcams to monitor the progress of works across its construction sites. How much longer until we use drones for digital site supervision and our own roles become less site based, I wonder? We also need to be aware of the continuous innovation in construction technology as I have alluded to previously. We have bricks being laid by robots with very minimal human supervision and digital tools transforming geometrical data into digital fabrication data.Operational Excellence and Financial PerformanceClients are looking to mitigate risk, increase operational efficiency and share successful practices and behaviours. They are increasingly looking for support with construction cost benchmarking to inform their decisions. In the UK, we have developed an Inspection Tool for JLL's Project & Development Services and Valuation teams to capture key information and data from site and reduce time intensive report writing. We are challenging ourselves to fully embrace how we can use technology to streamline and enhance our own processes to realise productivity benefits and create revenue streams. How much of the work you do now could be done differently – done virtually to provide the best cost and resource savings?The Fourth Industrial Revolution is bringing about many challenges and opportunities for the real estate and business landscape at large. The tech revolution will provide long-term gains in efficiency and productivity. We'll see transportation and communication costs decline and logistics and global supply chains become more effective, all of which will open new markets and drive economic progress. However, while we reap the benefits, we must pay particularly attention to its potential to upset labour markets.If we can properly prepare for a steady stream of disruption and uncertainty we can reap the transformational business benefits as a result. We should therefore grasp the opportunity and influence we have to shape this revolution with both hands and direct it toward a future that reflects our collective goals and values.Helen Gough is lead director of building consultancy, cost management and project management at JLLPosted on Building.co.uk.

text: I'm currently working on setting up my hatchling's tank as fully planted but am doing it over time instead of all at once. My new T5 came in so everything is getting enough light now. I have 2 scarlet star bromeliad pups and a small Phalaenopsis orchid I plan on adding to the tank. Should I remove the hatchling and allow the plants to take hold to the bark/branches and if so, how long should I remove him for? He is a 3 month old hatchling so he is very small and I don't know if he would even be able to damage the plants if they are secured well. If he is removed, the enclosure I move him to will be much, MUCH smaller since the plastic keeper he was in is currently occupied. I feel bad about downgrading him but if it is only for a week or two, I don't feel as guilty.

Conflict is blood coursing through the aorta of literature. But what is the source of this violence? Many 19th century texts lie at the root of conflict. This conflict of identity happens off the page as well as on it.This conflict is realized through the author's agenda. Writers use violence and conflict on the page in order to alter the reader's subjective concept of identity and ultimately alter conflicts of identity off the page.
Identity as the fundamental cause of conflict is excitedly played out in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Here the duality of human identity is presented. We see the marriage of opposites, the fusion of pretentious control with its antithesis, blind instinct, behavior almost entirely lacking in consciousness. This battle is archetypal, happening within the breast and mind of each man. The human consciousness of self demands the importance of a reputation, the recognition of an identity. Stevenson presents another, an under man, that exists beneath the pretense of identity. This "fiend," or under man, is worse than any animal, in that Mr. Hyde was eagerly destructive. Hyde went so far as to bludgeon an innocent girl to death. Unlike nature's symbiotic destructiveness, that occurs only as a means to survival, Stevenson's "fiend" is blissfully destructive and for no apparent reason. Stevenson's idea of man's darker side is stark and frightening. The internal battle of identity that he presents is deadly.
Harriet Beecher Stowe presents the external and political conflict of Uncle Tom's Cabin. She argues that Christian identity and slavery are incompatible. The seemingly kind and "Christian" characters of Shelby and St. Clare are primary to this argument. Shelby separates and destroys Tom's family as a means of financially rescuing his own. While St. Clare's lack of action is responsible for Tom's ultimate sail down the river to martyrdom. Stowe's depiction of these seemingly "good and civilized" men had the power to persuade the Christian identity. The Christian defense of slavery had claimed that slavery benefited slaves because most masters acted in their slaves' best interest by "civilizing," "Christianizing," and "providing" for them. The characters of Shelby and St. Claire undermine this fallacy. As Stowe strives to influence and control the nation's Christian identity, she insists that the slave's best interest is to obtain control over his own destiny.
Charles Dickens also endeavored to change the course of human behavior (ie identity). The conflict and violence that he presented in Oliver Twist was one of self-interest over community. Fagin, a self serving fence and pimp, tells Noah Claypole that "a regard for number one holds us all together, and must do so, unless we would all go to pieces in company."(388 Dickens) In other words, the group's interests are best maintained if every individual looks out for "number one." This philosophy fails at the end of the novel, when Nancy turns against Monks, Bates against Sikes, and Monks against Mrs. Corney. Dickens is attempting to instill within the public identity a sense of charity and community.
Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. It may appear to be a digression here, but I insist that this 20th century text where nothing much happens, is relevant. Beckett reduces all of these identity issues to their most fundamental form: the metaphysical realm of the Self. Waiting for Godot is a violent attack on the relevance of identity. Violent like a dream where the dreamer discovers her teeth have fallen into her hand. Time has a relentlessly destructive power over personal identity and achievement. In order to solve the ontological problems of personal identity we want to do something or be something beyond the grave. And so, we have the artist at work busily exchanging hats with the next artist like Vladimir and Estragon. The duality of human nature is played out by Beckett's Didi and Gogo, stripped down to bare essentials, without the props, the monstrous costumes, or the "violent" plot events of our 19th century artists. Physical Estragon, or Gogo, just wants to leave and go somewhere and do something, but thoughtful Vladimir, Didi, must wait for Godot. Physical Gogo can not even put on his boot without thoughtful Vladamir's assistance. Here is a new Jekyl and Hyde, a revision of human duality engaged in an identity crisis. A real yin yang, they are one in the same.
However, people want their stories to have hearts that beat with the blood of human experience. Philosophical pondering is not popular. People want to see a dramatization of sex and sweat and tears and dreams realized and dreams crushed. Shelley's "Ozymandias" may indicate there is "nothing to be done" in the context of human history, nothing to be done which is not done in vain: Stowe, slaves are still being brutalized, Dickens, the greedy and despicable still make excessive use of orphans. There are losses and gains that come from trying to express the inexpressible. Like the identities that have gone before us we must act, if only for the present moment. Despite the unlikely possibility of originality we act. We act for century artists. Physical Estragon, or Gogo, just desires to help them look forward. We act with purpose and with anxiety of influence. We act to witness our identity. Conflict is the blood in the heart of our story. We embrace making new things out of old things. Alternately, we present our story with shame and pride. There is a comfort here, within the archetype, despite all inevitability, nothing can outweigh the present moment. Can we teach students to see? To hear? To communicate? We can begin by making the process explicit.

The purpose of this project is to equip students with skills of manipulating an array as a data structure
to store and process information, using the C++ object structure construct: struct.
The problem is poised as follows: create a data structure to hold a term of a polynomial and then using
the C++ array data structure design a system to manipulate polynomials by being able to:
1. create a polynomial
2. input a polynomial
3. display a polynomial
4. add/subtract two polynomials
5. multiply two polynomials (NB: multiplying by a polynomial of degree 0 is called scalar
The following C++ structure should be used to define a term of a polynomial:
struct term
// A polynomial term has two data components:
double coefficient; // The co-efficient of x
int exponent; // The positive integer power of x
Students must then write a system of functions together with the corresponding main function that will
allow the user, using a menu system, to:
1. create a polynomial of his/choice. For example, a call like the following should create a polynomial
x of length 6:
term *x = CreatePolynom ial( /* of length */ 6);
where all the coefficients and exponents are initialised to zero.
2. input data into the polynomial of a given length. For example, the following function call should
allow the user to populate his/her polynomial P of length N:
InputPolynomial(P, N);
3. display a polynomial of a given length. For example, the following function call should allow the user
to display his/her polynomial P of length N:
DisplayPolynomial(P, N);
CS 2431 - Prog. Fundamentals Project-01 Due: 1 wk before end of lectures 2007 Page -2/2-
When a polynomial is displayed, terms with zero coefficients must be omitted from the display.
Further, terms with exponents of value 1 should be displayed as: ax, where a is the corresponding
coefficient (and x is understood to be the polynomial variable). Finally, terms with exponents of value
0 should be displayed as just the constant: a. All the other terms should be displayed as: ax^n, where
n is the power of x (x^n means x to the power n).
4. add any two given polynomials. For example, the following function call should allow the user to add
two polynomials: P1 of length N1 and P2 and length N2 and the result being a new polynomial, P:
P = add(P1, N1, /* with */ P2, N2);
Step 4 should be similar when one is subtracting or multiplying any two given polynomials.
NB: Students who could attempt and get right the synthetic division of polynomials will get a bonus
mark of 50 points more
I have been given this problem but i have no idea where to start. can you help me get started.......

Risk Factors
There are many risk factors for suicide. Some risk factors are genetic and cannot be changed; others are short lived and situational. Because risk factors are present does not mean that someone will attempt or complete suicide; however, any warning signs that are associated with a change in behavior should be closely monitored.
Chronic risk factors
Perpetuating risk factors-permanent and non-modifiable:
- Demographics: White, American Indian, male, older age, separation or divorce, early widowhood
- History of suicide attempts-especially if more than one attempt
- Prior suicidal ideation
- History of self-harming behavior
- History of suicide or suicidal behavior in the family
- Adult or childhood exposure to violence or victimization
- Divorce and loss from death
- History of trauma or physical or sexual abuse
- History of psychiatric hospitalization
- History of violent behaviors
- History of impulsive and reckless behaviors
Predisposing and potentially modifiable risk factors::
- Depression, Axiety, and other mood disorders
- Substance use disorders (drug and alcohol abuse or dependence)
- Eating disorders
- Body dysmorphic disorder
- Conduct disorder
- Personality disorders
- Medical disorder, especially if involves functional impairment and/or chronic pain
- Traumatic brain injury
- Multiple risk factors (ex: depression and alcohol abuse and dependence)
- Low self-esteem
- Accepting attitudes toward suicide
- Exposure to another's death by suicide
- Lack of self or familial acceptance of sexual orientation
- Smoking
- Perfectionism and lack of self-compassion
Acute risk factors. If these are present they increase the risk of a potential attempt or death in the near future:
- Demographics, recently divorced, or separated with feelings of victimization or rage
- Suicide ideation (threatened, communicated, planned or prepared for suicide)
- Current self harming behavior
- Recent suicide attempt
- Excessive or increased use of drugs or alcohol
- Acute distress due to perceived loss, defeat, rejection, etc.
- Recent discharge from a psychiatric hospital
- Anger, rage, seeking revenge or other aggressive behavior
- Withdrawal from usual activities, friends, interests, school or work and isolation
- Anhedonia- the inability to experience pleasure
- Anxiety or panic
- Agitation
- Insomnia
- Persistent nightmares
- Suspiciousness, paranoia, ideas of persecution
- Severe feelings of confusion or disorganization
- Command hallucinations, especially ones urging harm to self or others
- Intense affect states (desperation, intolerable aloneness, self-hate, etc.)
- Dramatic mood changes
- Hopelessness
- Poor problem solving
- Cognitive constriction (thinking in black and white terms and not able to see shades of gray)
- Rumination, continuously focusing on the distress
- Inability to see reasons for living
- Inability to imagine possible positive future events
- Perceived burdensomeness
- Recent diagnosis of chronic or terminal condition
- Feeling trapped, like there is no way out other than death
- Sense of purposelessness or loss of meaning
- Negative or mixed attitude toward help-receiving
- Recklessness or excessive risk taking behavior, especially out of character
- Any real or perceived events causing shame, guilt, despair, humiliation, unacceptable loss of face or status, legal problems, financial problems, and feelings of rejection and abandonment

Tirdas 14, 1518
Bader and I finally discovered the rogue's den in the Walden. To be so bold as to hide in shadows and mythos of the dark woods made them brave fools, the lot of them, yet fools nonetheless. It appears greed can truly cause a man to cast caution to the side if it helps to line their coin purse. The few men we gathered rallied around us, yet their courage vanished when we arrive at the edge of the dark forest. I do not fault them in the least; it simply made the odds less favorable towards us. Regardless, Bader and I pushed onward through the eerie shadows towards our quarry. The forest creaked and moaned in warning to transgression. Never in my life have felt my soul feel so cold in the wake of such a despairing place. I found refuge in reminding Bader to stand firm as he did unto me. We have been forced to make camp in the woods. We need rest, though I fear little reprieve will be given. The forest stirs and moves unnaturally.
Tirdas 16, 1518
By the next night fall we had found the rogue's makeshift camp. There were nearly a dozen of them so we had to think abstractly. Bader and I hatched a plan to bait and use the lore of the woods to our advantage. Bader and I drew out a couple of brutes tending watch and subdued them. The fear of their disappearance unnerved several as the lead highwayman tried to hold them together. Two more braved the search and we subdued them as well. Soon, panic arose and several left taking their chances in the woods. The number dwindled and the odds tipped in our favor. We cast stones to cause misdirection and shots rang out wildly. We took the advantage of the reload time and charged. They tried recklessly to surround us, though in true fashion, Bader and I stood back-to-back and took them on. We moved as on; he went high, I went low as we moved like a spinning whirlpool. It was over as soon as it started.
Moments passed in a blinding rush. The leader of the rogues stood his ground like any true Eisen would and would not yield. Bader deferred to me and I squared off with the man. He was skilled with a blade and fought tenaciously. In the end, he was brought down by my axe. I knew not the man's name, yet despite his thieving ways, he still managed to die with honor. I hope that the people will see this as justice served, though I shall take his body to prove the issue has been dealt with in hopes a latent message will spread to any would be future brigands.
Tirdas 18, 1518
By the time we returned to gather the men we had subdued, the forest had taken them. I am left to ponder why we were not beset upon prior or post. It was not till later that we discovered what befell them. There was little left to properly identify them. Bader and I were forced to secure the body to a make sled and watch it through the night. All manner of hissing calls and various colored eyes of scavengers glare at us from the shadows this night. We grow weary, yet we remain vigilant.
Tirdas 20, 1518
We made our way out of the dark woods to find our horses minced and stripped of meat. 'Twas a long walk carrying this body all the way back to town. Upon arrival we were welcomed again as champions. Praise and accolades showered us. I did my best to suppress the situation as I spoke of the displayed honor of the dead rogue. Bader keeps reminding me that it is ok to indulge in a bit of pride and not be so modest. I do what I must. I need not buffing of glory to remind me that what I do is noble. I prefer to look at what is best for others beyond myself, such as the Good Book says. Personal Glory is a form of vanity, and excessive vanity is a sin after all.
Tirdas 23, 1518
The town proctor was kind enough to refresh our horses as we made our way back to the barony. We were greeted by heavy rain our whole way back. Bader and I watched as two horses ran hurriedly past us dragging a snapped yoke through the muddy road. Bader and I looked at each other and without word we knew something was amiss and hurriedly made our way up the road. The rain had caused part of the road to wash out and took a wagon with it. We saw an elder man and a young woman crying for help as they desperately clung to a tree. We had to move fast. We secured ropes to our saddle horns arced them over a sturdy limb of an oak to keep them free from the passing debris. We leapt out and used the stuck wagon as our waypoint. The water beat against us violently yet my armor and Bader Shield latched to his back buffeted most of the pressure. We used the drift to sweep us to them and secured them to us; I took the elder, Bader the fraulein. With a crack of the ropes and curt whistles the horses pulled us out of the wake, though a bit waterlogged, to be sure, as were we. The two were victims saved and had Bader not been there, I doubt I could have saved them both as the tree they were on soon snapped and was taken by the torrents as we were pulled away. Theus favored us this day.
Tirdas 24, 1518
The rain has let up, if only to a little drizzle. With the wash still turning before us, Bader and I each took a turn heading opposing directions to find a viable means cross, to no avail. We were fortunate enough to come across the freed horses that managed to escape. Alas, all we could do was wait for the waters to recede enough to continue on our way.
We attempted to remain as dry as possible given the weather and lack of practical cover. Regardless, we made the best of it and share tales. The elder man, Lon, told us he was a simple cobbler and all his tools, materials, and wares were now lost. I sympathized with him for in one fail swoop everything he had was lost to him, save his granddaughter, Tanja who had accompanied him as his apprentice. She too had nothing as her parents had succumbed to illness years earlier. Bader and I spoke later of the issue and I expressed how I felt obligated to do something. Bader jested that I was only expanding my influence on the people, yet he would support whatever I chose to do.
The waters show to be pulling back slowly now. I can hope they are manageable by morning and I will have any better idea ready to aid Lon and Tanja.
Tirdas 25, 1518
We managed to ford the washout and free Lon's mud soaked wagon. The water had warped and mangled the frame and wheels, though it was still manageable to travel, if only at a slower pace. Bader and I secured the horses to the broken yoke and rigged it to be operational. I insisted on seeing them through to their destination. I did not want something else to go afoul and leave them stranded once more.
Tirdas 28, 1518
It has taken a few days to arrive yet we have managed to deliver Lon and Tanja safely to their hometown. Though Bader denies it, I feel Tanja fancies Good Bader and he her, beyond being her "hero" in saving her. She is an attractive fraulein and only four years his junior. I jested with him over the matter to which he tried to shrug off any notions through embarrassment. Ha-Ha!
I deferred my station in my dealings with Lon and Tanja, simply bearing my name. I gave what coin I had to Lon so he could rebuild his life and livelihood. I was content to leave it be, yet it was not until we prepared to head out of town when someone had recognized me and soon the whole town was in a titter. Lon, realizing who I was thanked me profusely, despite my modest attempt to defer.
As we left them in the safety of their townsfolk, Lon left me with the words that "I have never met a man with such truly noble breeding and humble bearing that I should be the one who is Archduke." I chuckled at the notion and thanked him for his kind words. Despite my modest attempts Bader used the words at my expense to have a jest over the matter.
I admit I am now torn by the words… I cannot think of anyone I know who would have done such acts, let alone the Archduke himself. Though I could be very wrong and hope that I am.

The Kingdom's cause, 'til Kingdom come is our objective. The Commission: Make Disciples. The Mission: Obey. The Declaration: The Gospel. The Manifesto: Live Worship and Live The Mission of Jesus Christ!!! For this we assemble, and for this we deploy!!! The Revolution shall ensue, for Christ has Revolutionized our hearts. May our love be revolutionary! May our love baffle, may our love confound. May our hearts beat to the rhythm of His war drum, and may His blood run through our veins. May His Gospel be our war cry, and may His grace be the banner that we raise! Although combative, we revolt with love, for this is how we have overcome. In warfare blood must be shed, and it is by His blood alone that we shall declare our victory. He has died our death so we didn't have to. By Christ the sacrifice has been made, and by Christ The Enemy has been defeated. By Christ alone!
Our team has set-up camp in the University City area of Charlotte, to wage war on The Enemy and to revolt in love, by declaring The Gospel of Jesus Christ and by being an expression of His love. We have decided that we're dedicated to winning the war. Therefore, we are dedicated to building The Kingdom, and not a castle; for there is indeed strength in The United. This is our decree, for we believe that it is not all about us, but rather it is about our King, Jesus....And thus we, as Kingdom citizens, are to be but His loyal, ever faithful, subjects...trusting in His Sovereign Grace and entrusting our lives to His Sovereignty. Thus, we know that The Church has not been designed to serve me or you, but it has been designed for us to serve through. Will you join The R[evol]ution?
May The King give you directive, and may you, as a devoted servant, diligently follow.
Live Worship and Live The Mission of Jesus Christ!!!
