For the last couple of days, sections of the Anglican blogosphere have been agog with excitement over the apparent support by the Church of Nigeria for their government's proposed legislation against homosexuality.
I admit to not yet having had time to digest either the legislation or the stance of that church.
Nevertheless, I am struck not only by the extent to which criticism is being directed at the Church of Nigeria (some of which qualifies as demonisation), but at Western Conservatives. "Where," the questioning goes, "is your condemnation? Why are you silent?"
Now it may indeed be that condemnation is required. For all I know, it may already be happening, though not necessarily via blogs and 'open letters'.
But I cannot help noticing, with regard to the spiritual dynamics of all this, the similarity with what happened in the case of the woman caught in adultery. When her accusers brought her to Jesus to ask what should be done with her we are told by the Evangelists, "They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him."
There was, of course, no doubt of the woman's guilt. And it is worth reminding ourselves that if the Law of Moses has a Divine origin, then in God's eyes adultery was then a capital offence, to be punished by the State.
But this was not about the guilt of the accused, and nor is reaction to the Nigerian situation simply about the Nigerians.
There is also a clear difference in that the question was put to Jesus — the Holy One in whom there was no sin. None of us can stand in that position (indeed, that is the point of what Jesus said in reply.)
But we must not forget that this was not a view shared by the accusers. In their eyes, Jesus was a charlatan, a spiritual usurper, a frustrating and dangerous opponent needing to be brought down.
And what did they feel in their hearts when one of their number first came up with the bright idea?
"Wait a minute! Don't let's stone her. Let's take her to Jesus. He's always condemning and accusing us. He's got to agree to her being stoned. Let's see him get out of this one!"
How different is this from the thoughts of those who have taken the Nigerian Church (brothers and sisters in Christ) to the Conservatives crying, "The gospel commands us to condemn such people — now what do you say?"
What do they hope to hear? A shared condemnation? Evasion? Silence?
Is it any wonder Jesus said to us, "Judge not, lest you be judged, condemn not, lest you stand condemned"?
Of course, as anyone will know who tries to put these words into practice, they are impossible for us. We must judge and we must condemn, because life is full of damnable things, and yet with every judgement we accuse ourselves.
But that is surely the point. We must know ourselves to be people under judgement, and keep this before us every time we see a fellow human being committing sin.
When Jesus said, "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone," the lesson was not that adultery was suddenly allowable, nor that adulterers should no longer be condemned. Rather, it was that the accusers saw what Jesus saw in their hearts, and they were shamed by what they found.
As each day passes, we see the Anglican Church revealed not as a thing of beauty but an object of horror, suitable only for the world's derision and God's judgement — indeed, as a woman taken in adultery.

Oil Prices to See 1st "Quintuple-drop"
- 字号
On the 29th of this month, the window for oil price adjustment will open again. After the first quadruple-drop, the institutions predicted that the oil prices will record the first "quintuple-drop" in the history. Those planning the self-driving travels during the National Day holiday can wait until September 30 for refueling.
Although crude oil futures prices edged higher recently, due to the ample supply and unlikely recovery on the international market, the short period will not possibly see substantive increases. With regard to the endlessly falling oil prices, Meng Peng, an analyst in refined oil with www.chem99.com, said that Libya's largest oil field has recently resumed production, with less and less positive information bolstering the international oil prices. And the news of weak demand for oil in the world has continuously weighed on the international oil prices.
Affected by this, in this pricing period, the rate of change for crude oil prices has continued to decline. As of yesterday, the rate estimated by www.chem99.com fell to -2.21%, equivalent to a decrease of RMB 135 / ton for the limited price of petroleum products. Meng said that if there is no unforeseen circumstance, the limited prices of domestic petroleum products will be adjusted down again next week, representing the first "quintuple-drop" since the introduction of the domestic refined oil pricing mechanism and a new record of straight declines.
Domestically, since early 2014, the poor economic performance has affected all the sectors such as engineering, infrastructure and transportation that have seen the lower operating rates for the oil-consuming projects, leading to the poor demand for oil at ends especially the diesel oil. With relatively abundant supplies, the imbalance between supply and demand in the market has been the main cause for declining gasoline and diesel prices and the downward market trend.
According to estimates of www.315.com.cn, as of yesterday, the seventh working day of the pricing period, the rate of price change for the reference crude oil products was -2.66%, equivalent to decreases of RMB 130 to 160 / ton. Thus, at the end of September the retail prices cut will be realized, with the decreases expected to be higher than those in the previous two pricing periods at about RMB 170 / ton. Meanwhile, the website of www.oilchem.net expected the decrease at RMB 180 / ton. This means that the decrease of gasoline price will be more than RMB 0.1 per liter again.

A release of a previously unissued concert recording by the great Roland Kirk is welcome news, and if much of producer Joel Dorn's liner notes is nonsensical, the release of this German concert, Brotherman in the Fatherland (Hyena), will be welcome by fans of the legendary multi-instrumentalist, despite its title. At this March 3, 1972 Munich concert, Kirk was accompanied by Ron Burton piano, Henry Pete Pearson "Mettahias" on bass, Richie Goldberg on drums and Joe 'Hablo' Texidor on percussion for a ripping good program that grows on one with repeated hearings.
Kirk is heard on tenor saxophone, flute, nose flute, manzello, stritch and clarinet on the selections which include his interpretations of top 40 hits by the Carpenters, Close to You, and the Temptations classic My Girl, along with several numbers associated with John Coltrane, Billy Strayhorn's Lush Life, Mongo Santamaria's Afro-Blue and Trane's own Blue Train. This last number, which closes the album, is a seventeen-minute musical tour de force. The medley of Seasons and Serenade to a Cuckoo, showcase Kirk's skills as a flautist from the almost 'classical' opening to the vocalized playing that was highly influential (Kirk is the primary source of Jethro Tull flautist Ian Anderson's style).
Kirk can be so playful at one moment, then a little bit later he can take it to the basement equal to any blues player, and elsewhere take things out almost as if speaking in tongues with his sax. I really did not fully appreciate just how good this disc is until the fourth or fifth time I listened to it. Every time I listen to it, I notice something new. I was fortunate to see Rahsaan Roland Kirk live and any strong new live recording of this master is always welcome. I might suggest the Rhino anthology of Kirk, Does Your House Have Lions: The Rahsaan Roland Kirk Anthology, for those unfamiliar with his music, but any fan of Kirk will want this latest release of concert performances and more are promised.

I had this thought about what to write about. I did. And then I forgot.
It would've been something profound and life-altering, right?
It rained again today.
Pretty sure that wasn't it, yet it is a factual statement. Luckily, I've wised up to Boston's June ways, so I now carry an umbrella when I make my library and cafe tours.
OK, I got nothin' here. But, in place of these doldrums, my editor friend just told me about her new blog, focused on the pains of commuting and workplace culture after working from home for so long, so check it!

Shadow cat
A shadow cat passed thru my gate
just as I went to close it.
I looked around, it wasn't there,
now where do you suppose it
travelled next? I'm not awake.
The cat is black. Its name is fate.

They also have water wipes.
You can make your own paper towel wipes by just putting paper towel sheets in a tupperwear container and adding water.

Fyi- you can buy waterwipes. Not sure if you are on a tight budget.
I would use Water Wipes or something else that's natural, like Honest Co. or Bloom. But honestly, rinsing LO (little one) under some water in the bath or sink might be best and the least uncomfortable while having a rash.

You beat me! Lol. Agree with you 100%
We cloth diaper and just bring dry flannel wipes with us, wet in the sink, wipe and throw in the wetbag. Using a cloth and water is totally doable especially if that's what your child is least irritated by.

To the investigative journalist W5 will provide all the answers to his search. Who? What? When? Where? Why?
To the Christian W5 will bring life and its story, and that more abundantly.
WORD - It is the Word of Life which impregnates the inner man with the hope and nature of Jesus. We are begotten by the Word of God and particularly the Gospels. No other testimony, argument or example of behaviour will suffice. It is a fine surgeon penetrating the superfluity of flesh to the very cancer of sin and deftly excising it. A mess is cleaned. New blood is introduced.
WAITING - Not all of God's blessings are immediate. He reveals Himself and His purposes to the persistent waiter. I am reminded of Jacob wrestling overnight with the Angel. "I will not let you go except you bless me." In the painful interval of suspense, the eager soul is exercised with the repeated confession, "He must be good. He must be good. This delay must work out for the best. There is a bigger picture." And the answer does come with release of joy and strengthened spiritual muscle and acumen.
WITNESS - Our cumulative experience in Christ is cause for perpetual praise, encouragement and testimony. We have a story of rescue to tell. We must exercise wisdom lest a clumsy or untimely delivery rob the effect in a needful listener. But tell the Good News we must. Saved from sin. Directed toward truly fulfilling and righteous purpose. Family participating and reproducing. Heaven-bound.
WINSOME - No one is more trustworthy, heroic, equitable, balanced than Jesus. Colossians tells us that He is the fulness of the Godhead bodily. The beautiful chorus says, "What a friend we have in Jesus. All our sins and grief to bear..." In moments of pain or perplexity He has come as a fresh breeze of hope. In times of joy he has added his endorsement, "Yes, this is good, and I have done it for you. Together we laugh."
WONDER - As much as we may study the Bible account, discourse with fellow believers, gather in Communion, wander pathways of natural splendour, lay ourselves prone in dark prayer closets, there will still be mystery about our offered and risen Lord and His Church. I think of those lessons given to the disciples in the forty days before His ascension and concerning which we know nothing. How much will we have to explore and study in His company in Glory. The anticipation is exhilarating.
(W5 is the name of an excellent Canadian investigative news program on CTV)

VATICAN CITY – Dozens of environmentally friendly mayors from around the world demanded Tuesday that their national leaders take bold steps at the Paris climate talks this year, saying that may be the last chance to keep the warming of the Earth at levels safe for humanity.
Some 60 mayors, including the mayor of Vancouver, gathered at the Vatican for a two-day climate conference to keep the pressure on world leaders ahead of the Paris negotiations in December and to promote Pope Francis' environmental encyclical, which denounced the fossil fuel-based world economy that exploits the poor and destroys the Earth.
The mayors are expected to sign a declaration later Tuesday that states that "human-induced climate change is a scientific reality and its effective control is a moral imperative for humanity," according to the final declaration seen by The Associated Press.
In his remarks to the meeting, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced new greenhouse gas emissions targets for the Big Apple and urged other cities to follow suit.
"The Paris summit is just months away," De Blasio said. "We need to see it as the finish line of a sprint, and take every local action we can in the coming months to maximize the chance that our national governments will act boldly."
De Blasio is a founding member of an alliance of cities around the world that have committed to reducing their emissions by 80 per cent by 2050 or sooner. He said New York was taking an interim step, committing to reducing its emissions by 40 per cent by 2030.
California Gov. Jerry Brown drew rousing applause in a speech denouncing global warming deniers who he said are "bamboozling" the public and politicians with false information to persuade them that the world isn't getting warmer.
Brown, a former Jesuit seminarian, urged the mayors to not be complacent in opposing climate deniers. California has enacted the toughest greenhouse gas emissions standards in North America.
"We have a very powerful opposition that, at least in my country, spends billions on trying to keep from office people such as yourselves and elect troglodytes and other deniers of the obvious science," he said.
Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson called Blasio and Brown's speeches "powerful addresses" in a tweet sent early Tuesday, adding that California and New York City were demonstrating "crucial climate leadership."
Robertson is the only Canadian mayor who is part of the gathering and has said he will be encouraging the Pope, in a session that is to take place Tuesday afternoon, to ramp up pressure on national governments across the globe to take action on climate change.
The afternoon audience with the Pope is being regarded as the climax of Tuesday's inaugural session. The religious leader has become a hero to the environmental movement and has used his moral authority and enormous popularity to focus world attention on climate change and its effects on the poor.
Francis' other main priority has been to raise awareness about human trafficking. The Vatican conference is aimed at showing how both are related: The exploitation of the Earth and its most vulnerable people, with global warming often responsible for creating "environmental refugees" forced to flee homes because of drought or other climate-induced natural disasters.
"Addressing both these phenomenon, climate change and modern slavery, is a herculean task for us as city administrators," said Tony Chammany, the mayor of Kochi, India.
The meeting's final declaration calls for financial incentives to transition from using fossil fuels to using low-carbon and renewable energies and to shift public financing away from the military to "urgent investments" in sustainable development, with wealthy countries helping poorer ones.
And it says political leaders have a "special responsibility" at the Paris talks to approve a "bold climate agreement that confines global warming to a limit safe for humanity, while protecting the poor and the vulnerable from ongoing climate change that gravely endangers their lives."
Stockholm Mayor Karin Wanngaard said the Paris talks must take fossil fuels off the table and focus on other energy sources. Stockholm is one of the world's leaders in using renewable energy sources, with 75 per cent of the city's public transport network runs on renewable energy. Wanngaard's goal is to make the Swedish capital fossil fuel-free by 2040.
"Climate negotiators must dare to push boundaries and exclude fossil fuels as an option and reward solutions that are long-term sustainable and renewable," she said.
Other mayors attending hail from Boston; Boulder, Colorado; Oslo, Norway; San Francisco. Experts have long said that cities are key to reducing global warming since urban areas account for nearly three-quarters of human emissions.
In addition to the climate declaration, mayors will be asked to sign a statement against human trafficking that was first penned by religious leaders at the Vatican last year.

The Mathematical argument is also relevant because the Letters & Words of these Ancient Languages all indeed have Numerical Values that can be computed.
Of-course the Bible is Open to Interpretation! ALL books are open to Interpretation! As a matter of fact IT SAYS right in the Bible that God endowed us with the capacity for Free Will & Free Thought!

You asked for me to produce ONE of these many opportunities, which I did. To date you haven't had the courage to provide a valid answer. As I have stated many times, I will be happy to provide another as soon as you can provide a valid answer for the original challenge. I still await your response, which due to your lack of courage, seems unlikely to ever eventuate.
Any of this refresh your memory?
Mytym, Notice that I didn't interpret anything. I just showed you what the Bible said. God said that he would make mans days 120 years and then I showed you that God said that he would destroy man from the face of the earth. Just like it says, no interpretation is needed. If an interpretation is needed, you will find that the Bible explains the Bible.

Exciting discovery: 38-pound stone holds an ancient alphabet
Thursday, November 10, 2005
By Ann Rodgers, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
On the last day of his 2005 archaeological dig in Israel, Ronald Tappy was up in a cherry picker, photographing his site, when a supervisor asked him to look at "some scratches" a college volunteer had found on a stone........
It goes on.....
Because it was sealed in a layer of debris caused by a fire, roughly between 925 and 900 B.C., he knew it could have been written no later than that time.
"The remains of the building, including the inscription ... have been protected all this time. They have been lying there, sleeping silently all these 3,000 years," he said.
Some scholars argue that biblical accounts of King David and King Solomon were invented centuries later. These scholars claim that 10th-century Judeans were illiterate, but this stone shows that they could have recorded their history, he said.
"This is a site from the outskirts of a 10th-century kingdom that was establishing itself exactly at that time in Jerusalem. This is the time of the Solomonic kingdom in Jerusalem," he said.

Your answer invloved interpretation, as is evidenced by the fact that I have a different interpretation. As I have mentioned ad-nauseum, interpretations cannot be used as factual evidence to support a point of view. I even went so far as to humour your interpretation, but you were unable to demonstrate the passing of 120 years between the time the ruling was made, and the time man was destroyed from the face of the Earth. A valid answer has not been provided to date. I will await the day you are able to provide one, but forgive me if I choose not to hold my breath.
Also, whilst you allow your lack of courage to inhibit you from addressing my point, try coming up with your own material instead of borrowing my observations of you.

validity of the Bible as a truthful historical account.
Time and time again I notice members here on ATS citing Bible references as forms of proof to support a particular point of view. I have no problem with people believing in and following the teachings of the Bible, but when it comes to presenting quotes from the Bible as facts, I take issue with it...
[edit on 27/5/06 by mytym]
1. The Bible did not drop down from heaven ready-made, as some people seem to imagine. It did not suddenly appear on earth, carried down from God by an angel. It was written by people who held in their hand the reed, ink, and parchment, and laboriously traced every letter in the original languages of the East.
2. People have to remember that the Bible was not written all at once, or by one man, like most other boks. There were 1500 years between the writings of Genesis and the Apocalypse or Revelation of John. It is made up of a collection of different books by different authors, forming a sort of library instead of a single work. The Greek for books is "biblia", and that is obviously where the word "Bible" comes from.
3. What we read today are translations, and that is why priests and scholars, for example, will study the Scriptures in the original languages (the Old Testament was in Hebrew and the New Testament was in Greek), in case the text has been deformed in any way by its translation.
4. The Bible was not printed in any language until about 1500 years after the alleged birth of Christ, for the simple reason that there was no printing before that date. Before that, the Testaments had to be read from the handwriting of some monk or friar on parchment or vellum or paper. They had to be copied slowly and laboriously. Through teaching and by word of mouth, souls could allegedly be saved, people could alledgedly become saints, and believe and do all that Jesus Christ meant them to believe and do, all without either the written or printed Bible.

Maybe in a few hundred years....or a thousand, a form of belief will emerge based on treating your brother and sister on earth in a manner that you wish to be treated, which is after all the central theme of Christ's message.

Like any religion, the Bible itself is a matter of faith - not of fact. Any modern theologian will tell you that Christianity is about faith. As the Bible is the "handbook" for Christianity, it seems to stand to reason that it's also about faith.

Emilio Bonifacio – 2B/3B/SS/OF
Take out a piece of paper and a writing instrument, class; it is time for a brief lesson on Small Sample Size and Ree-ee-gression!
Wait, what? Yes, I suppose the back of the test I just returned to you and your neighbor's highlighter will do, but please come to class with all of your crap next time.
This was originally going to a bonus second Cubs "Left Crying" in our NL Central Edition of Spring Fling / Give Him A Ring / Leave Him Crying, but it took on a life of its own and became too large to be included in that post. I simply could not pass on the opportunity to briefly celebrate the cruel, heartless bitch that is regression. Of course, real statisticians (and sabremetricians) will consider this concept elementary, but it is nonetheless fun to ponder. I need to preface that I do not really have anything against Emilio Bonfacio – he is somewhat unremarkable and largely inoffensive, though I would never go out of my way to fling with him or present to him a ring (per the paradigm of the larger series of which this post is a rogue offshoot) – the opening to his 2014 campaign has so perfectly encapsulated this statistical concept in which I place a great deal of value that I simply could not pass up the opportunity to use and abuse Bonifacio's poor little heart for my selfish purposes.
Let us begin by stating that, assuming good health (which, frankly, one probably cannot), the vast majority of batters tend to remain who they are year in and year out. Sure, a player will experience occasional positive or negative spikes in BABIP that will yield a higher or lower floors for the AVG/OBP/SLG slashes, or booms and busts in HR/FB% that yield either the magical "career year" or the disappointing "lost season" – large fluctuations in these areas (and a glut of other smaller fluctuations) are the spice of baseball numerical life. Having said that, hitters who walk a lot will mostly keep walking, hitters who swing and miss with great frequency will continue to frequently swing and miss, and hitters who scald line drives everywhere will scald more line drives everywhere. Furthermore, these characteristics tend to hover around some defining mean value regardless of whether a player is hot, cold, or somewhere in between. Improvement is certainly possible, but rarely will a player improve an aspect of his game so drastically as to render the initial baseline completely unrecognizable (i.e. Chris Carter may improve upon his catastrophically high strikeout percentage, but he will never resemble Ichiro Suzuki). By the same token, a player will typically not suddenly begin whiffing significantly more frequently in the absence of some critical physical change (injury, significant age-related decline, a dramatic change in the manner by which pitchers attack him, etc.). Regression to a player's individual means is an overwhelmingly dominant force – this is true of both hitters and pitchers, though it needs to be noted that pitchers age quite a bit differently than do hitters.
Let us now introduce Bonafacio into these proceedings.
Bonafacio's two calling cards are plus speed (or even plus-plus speed) and versatility – he has logged reasonably significant playing time at 2B, 3B, SS, LF, and CF. His batting average and walk percentage are both almost perfectly league-average (yielding, by definition, an almost perfectly league-average OBP). Power? LOLPower. Defense? Over the bulk of his career he has been a positive contributor at the two outfield corners and below average everywhere else. In summation, he is a speedy, unremarkable hitter whose versatility allows him to deploy his unremarkable-ness from one of six defensive positions.
Having established some measure of Bonafacio's essence through prose, let us seek to do the same through numberz (click to enlarge this and all subsequent tables):
Again, Bonifacio is very close to league average as it pertains to AVG, BB%/OBP, K%, and LD%. His great speed makes him both more dangerous and more efficient on the basepaths than his league average peer. His slap-swing yields a ton of groundballs, little loft, and no power. The large number of groundballs yields a disproportionately high number of infield hits, and consequently, a higher baseline BABIP (which Brian correctly associates with speedy rabbits in our Carlos Gomez debate). These elements combine with the varying levels of facility Bonifacio possesses at numerous defensive positions to create a player who sits almost smack-dab-in-the-middle between the hypothetical "replacement player" and the league average one.
Mr. Bonafacio, you can step outside for a moment. Don't wander too far, though – I'm going to need to make fun of… I mean, make an example of… er, that is, I'm going to need your help as I try to teach the other 56 kids in the class. No, you can't have extra credit – it's not my fault you aren't happy with your grade after you skipped 8 classes, didn't turn in any homework for 5 weeks, bombed 2 tests, and have posted a pitcher-like career ISO.
We must remember that players will assemble their overall statistical profile through a composite of peaks and valleys. The larger the number of plate appearances, the more likely we will negate the anomalies brought about by that foul temptress "Small Sample Size." Small sample sizes are often the primary undermining culprit to the integrity of any statistic; we experience its false charms whenever a broadcaster or analyst cherry picks some statistical element of a player's performance (i.e. "Dating back to 2005, Joe Klangertang is batting .500/500/1.250 in 4 at-bats with runners in scoring position and less than two outs during day games on Thursdays during which the tide is in and the President of the United States is vacationing at Prairie Chapel Ranch in Crawford, TX"). Most every hitter will have hot stretches during which they perform at an "All-Star" level – the best players perform at such a level more frequently and for longer periods of time (perhaps you have heard of that catch-all term "consistency?"). In summation, it is dangerous to draw conclusions from statistics born of small sample size (but it's cool – all the cool kids do it, and they're cool!).
While this undoubtedly has most of you saying, "Um, no shit," there is one period of each season during which most everyone forgets this principle and falls into the trap of assigning too much value to statistical anomalies destined for correction: the opening weeks. In the absence of a volume of tendency-defining statistics, a torrid hot streak in April is far more apparent than it would be over a three-week stretch in July and August, and the type of 30 PA slump through which most every batter will slog at least once a season can be seen as a prelude to a player's grisly demise. When all is said and done, however, these season-opening super-studs and mega-duds will almost invariably experience some period of statistical correction. A 2014 example of extreme dud-turned-stud scenario can be found in the bipolar opening acts of Pablo Sandoval's season, though Sandoval's struggles did persist for quite a while before he finally went super nova. Sandoval will need even further positive correction to reach or exceed his career norms – given that he wants a lot of money once this season is over, he had better hope math continues to smile upon him. Bonafacio, on the other hand, has been among the most exaggerated – and extraordinarily predictable – of 2014's studs-turned-duds.
Let's bring him back into the room, shall we?
So just how did Bonifacio's season start? Well, through 8 games (Small Sample Size) 41 PA (S.S.S.), Bonifacio had done these things to baseballs, pitchers, and catchers.
Well, that's just great (kinda). For just over a week, 57.6% of the balls Bonafacio put in play did not find fielders, he could barely miss a pitch if he tried (12.2% strikeout rate), and he could not be thrown out on the basepaths while donning the wheels of a young Eric Davis. The high BABIP lifted his AVG, which in turn lifted the portions of his OBP and SLG that are themselves built upon AVG. It all worked out to that nice .500/.537/.579 slash. Let's briefly strip away context so as to render those numbers excellent-to-insane: a typical batting champion posts an average within 15-20 points of .350, the list of batters who have who have posted an on base percentage ≥ .537 in qualifying seasons during the live-ball era consists of "Barry Bonds, Barry Bonds, Ted Williams, and Babe Ruth," and a .579 slugging percentage would have ranked 3rd in all of baseball in 2013. EMILIO BONIFACIO IS THE GREATEST THING SINCE BARRY BONDS 2.0!!!
Well, that was fun, now let's view them with some context.
Because it is important, let us recall a snippet from earlier in this post (unlike a former professor of mine, I promise I am not quoting myself as an "expert source"):"…assuming good health -snip- the vast majority of batters tend to remain who they are year in and year out. Sure, one will see the occasional positive or negative spike in BABIP that will yield a higher or lower floor for the AVG/OBP/SLG slashes, or booms and busts in HR/FB% -snip- [but] hitters who walk a lot will mostly keep walking, hitters who swing and miss with great frequency will continue to frequently swing and miss, and hitters who scald line drives everywhere will scald more line drives everywhere. Furthermore, these characteristics tend to hover around some defining mean value regardless of whether a player is hot, cold, or somewhere in between."
Do you see the columns I've conveniently marked in green? Of course you do – you are clever, you are pretty, and you did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. If one can look beyond the eeeeeNORmous BABIP disparity, one will find a hitter who: 1.) walks at a roughly average rate (perhaps a tick below average); 2.) hits with the power of a pitcher (as measured by ISO, which strips AVG from SLG); and 3.) hits a ton of groundballs (which, again, will produce a lot of extra infield hits given his speed). As for things we might expect to correct themselves (pink and darker pink)? Certainly the strikeout and flyball rates (both exhibit far too dramatic a change to be taken seriously, and because S.S.S.); probably the percentage of line drives (though that is less of an outlier); and, in all likelihood, the success while stealing bases (because S.S.S.). As a matter of technicality, however, there was an actual day on which people could open their morning iPads while sipping their morning Venti Quad 9-Pump White Mochas and find that something called an "Emilio Bonficacio" was batting .500/.537/.576 for the season. Small sample size? Meet the opening act of a baseball season.
Man, those 8 games were so unbelievably insane that it would take… what… 2 months of hitting like Daniel Hudson to bring his numbers back into career norms? Now, Daniel Hudson is actually a fairly capable hitting pitcher (career .229/.268/.305, 52 wRC+), but the big picture version of the sentence would nonetheless read something like: "After the first 8 games of the season, Emilio Bonifacio would need to hit like a pitcher for 2 months in order to sport numbers that look like numbers Emilio Bonifacio would sport."
Emilio Bonifacio has hit like a pitcher for 2 months.
Wow, that's bad. Funny thing though – Bonifacio still profiles as a hitter who 1.) walks a tick below the average hitter; 2.) hits with the power of a pitcher; and 3.) hits a ton of groundballs. Why does that sound vaguely familiar? As could have been predicted, he did begin to swing and miss a little more (though he has settled in at a lower strikeout rate than his previous career norms), and both his line drive and flyball rates regressed almost perfectly to his career averages (the latter of which is more or less useless for Bonifacio given that he has more of a chance of legging out a hit on an infield grounder than he does accruing extra bases via a deep flyball). His batted ball luck and his success on the basepaths severely over-corrected, but then those were the two areas that were most egregiously out of line with his career norms.
So… what would happen if we combined the 8 games of "surface-temperature-of-the-sun" production with the 8 weeks he has spent in Siberia?
Huh… where have I seen THAT before?
It should not surprise us that Emilio Bonifacio was made to look like… well, himself… when math was sufficient enough time to perform its relentless work. As a hitter, Bonifacio is who we thought he was; the disparity in the value he is providing this season can actually be found in his defense. To date, he has actually provided positive value from every position from which the Cubs have deployed him; perhaps he has benefited from exposure to the Cubs' coaching staff, though math tells me that is probably going to change, too (ahem… SMALL SAMPLE SIZES)."Bonifacio is very close to league average as it pertains to AVG, BB%/OBP, K%, and LD%. His great speed makes him much more dangerous (and efficient) on the basepaths than the average big leaguer. His slap-swing yields a ton of groundballs, little loft, and no power. The large number of groundballs yields a disproportionately high number of infield hits, and consequently, a higher baseline BABIP."
There is nothing about the above numbers or prose that screams "excellent big league player." Sure, there is undoubtely a place for such a player on the bench of a good team – he'd be a valuable utility infielder, pinch-runner, and pinch-hitter in a pinch (though he doesn't possess an especially useful platoon split and would certainly never scare an opposing pitcher or manager). To give Bonifacio everyday or close-to-everyday playing time (as the Cubs have this season, as the Royals did after acquiring him at the trading deadline last season, and as the Marlins did in 2009 and 2011) is to overexpose him. He could be a valuable tool in the hands of a smart manager, but frequent use is inefficient use, and proclaiming him a "bona fide leadoff hitter" is an absolute absurdity. As we have already discussed, however, early-season production is greatly magnified in the absence of stabilizing data, and I suppose there is something to be said for the power of a first impression, as well. Can you imagine this article being written today if the author had to stare Bonifacio's current .269/.319/.340 slashes in the face? I suppose it is possible if the author was still seduced by Bonifacio's opening week, and I will say he correctly pointed out that the Cubs are getting good return on their $2.5 million investment relative to the market prices of the past offseason, but I can say with certainty that no such article would be penned if after 16 games Bonifacio was slashing .206/.254/.317 (as he has in has over his past 16 games). Do yourself a favor: don't be fooled by obvious disguises.
Alright, class. No homework. Extra credit for everyone. Take next Tuesday off. Extra credit for everyone. Just remember that a player will always be made to be whomever he really is if math is given enough time. If you can remember that, you should ace the next test (which will count for 3 tests to save ALL of your grades). Get out of my sight.

A SCHOOL which teaches Crosby babies to swim is about to expand.
Water Babies, which operates at Crosby High Specialist Humanities College, on De Villiers Avenue, Crosby, will now teach older children to love water, as it takes on elder children.
'When we started, babies had to be less than one year to join us,' explains Alison Ogden, who, together with Tracey Allison, teachers more than 950 babies and toddlers across the region.
'However, we've had so many parents asking us to take older children that we've decided to expand our services and we are now offering classes to children aged 0-5 years.'
The company's unique life saving techniques hit the national headlines in 2008, when two year-old Elizabeth Jelley from Bidston, Wirral was able to save herself from tragically drowning upon falling into the family pool.
'It was an amazing story,' reflects Alison.
Despite the fact the water was unheated, and she was wearing a heavy party dress, Elizabeth's confidence and swimming ability meant that she was able to calmly surface and hold onto the side, until her mother found her, at least eight minutes later. As her mother, Amanda, is happy to state, 'Our classes saved her daughter's life'. Now that's job satisfaction of the highest degree!'
'Elizabeth was only six weeks when she started with us, which is the perfect time to start your baby swimming.
'However, despite toddlers being notoriously more strong-minded, we have the experience to engage with them in the water and make them equally confident too.'
The company's multi-award winning course is uniquely structured, with 190 individual lesson plans spanning birth to five years. 'Done well, it's an activity requiring great technical skill,' explains Alison, 'which is why our teachers could have qualified as pilots three times over in the time it takes us to train them.
'However, the beauty of the course is that children only ever feel like they're simply having the most enormous fun in the pool.'
Alison and Tracey, who previously worked together in marketing, were one of Water Babies' first franchisees. 'When we joined the company we could all fit around a big table,' reflects Alison. 'Now, just 4 .5 years later, 'there are 33 companies around the UK, together we teach more than 20,000 clients and Water Babies is the world's largest swimming company.
New classes will be starting in Crosby and surrounding areas beginning w/c 22nd February and w/c 17th May. For more information call 0161 357 0111, email firstname.lastname@example.com or look at www.waterbabies.co.uk
For more information phone Alison Ogden on 0161 357 0111 or Jess Thompson on 01404 548348.

She came into the yoga studio five minutes after the class started and looked discombobulated. She was frumpy and frizzy, and wore a gray, baggy sweatshirt that hung loosely to her body, the right side descending off her shoulder. Her black sweatpants were ratted and torn and only came down to right below her knees.
Also, as I would find out later, she liked to fart. In public.
I'm sorry, this is my first time here, she confessed to the yoga instructor, who was giving her a stern look for coming into the class late.
That's ok, just quietly find a spot. There is one. Right there.
This spot was right behind me.
During one of our first exercises, while we were on our backs, the yoga instructor told us to stretch our hands and legs out, elongating our spines. It was at this moment that I realized that the frumpy-frizzy lady not only sat behind me, but was only inches away from my mat. As I stretched my arms beyond my head, I felt her calves and noticed that her feet were bookending my ears. Regardless of the fact that there was plenty of room NOT to be in my personal space, you would think this would have made her uncomfortable.
Well. It didn't.
I quickly retracted my arms like I had just been shocked by a light socket. She didn't move. I turned and whispered Sorry; she just slightly tilted her head up and released a dry smile.
That's not normal, I thought, and I quietly (and quickly) got up and slid my yoga mat forward. While I did, I heard a loud, sticky sound, like someone was pulling some tape off a piece of construction paper. I figured my mat had managed to become cemented to the studio floor. I was wrong.
Later, we were still stretching our backs. The instructor told us to pull our right knees up to our chests, and I hear a small raspberry sound, right behind my head. I ignored it. No, it couldn't be.
We were then instructed to lower our right legs back down, and pull our left legs to our chests. I heard a small raspberry sound again. Wait. Is she???
Finally, we were told to pull both legs in, and then there was no mistaking it. The frumpy-frizzy lady, whose butt was inches away from my head, let out a gigantic, cleansing, double-butt-cheek-flapping fart. In a otherwise perfectly quiet yoga studio.
Of course, it was hard to tell where this sound came from, but being so loud, everyone in the studio looked in our direction. It took every ounce of maturity in my body not to say "Seriously, it was her!!" Instead, I just froze motionless. Both knees into my chest. Trying with all my might not to burst out laughing.
Next, we had to get onto our hands and knees, and lower and raise our spines (cat-cow). I just kept thinking about how this lady just farted on my head, and had to feign looks of exasperation on my face so the frumpy-frizzy lady wouldn't see me laughing at her in the mirror that was in front of both of us in the studio.
But I swear, during this movement, every few seconds, I would hear little gusts of air behind me, and I just started laughing. I couldn't hold it in. Clearly, neither could she!
Eventually, she ran out of gas.
The class ended, and she went up to the instructor and thanked her for running a great session. She slumped her way back out of the studio. Sweatshirt still over shoulder. Black sweatpants still old and overused. Maybe even more so now.
And I wanted to thank her...for the best laugh I had had in months.

Walnut Creek Unified School District Schools WILL Remain Open on Thursday & Friday
- October 11, 2017 at 8:29 PM
Crazy! as I previously posted, I am only letting my dogs outside today to go potty, quickly. They both sneezed this afternoon and evening when going out. And this school district wants to submit our children to this can't breathe mess? Shame on them! Smoke everywhere.
- October 11, 2017 at 8:50 PM
WHAT?! The only reason I can see for keeping the kids in school is that you don't want to lose the $$$ with them out. I find it sad and difficult to believe that other districts are more concerned with our children's health than our district. Heartbreaking. SHAME ON YOU!!!
- October 11, 2017 at 9:05 PM
Cool your jets folks… it's not the school district being greedy. They have workable plans in place to keep kids safe and at school, no point in closing the schools just because everywhere else is. If they close, they have to make that time up somewhere else, and I'm sure parents will whine if we lose a day or two off of spring break to make it up.
- October 11, 2017 at 9:11 PM
Guess the schools staying open breathe different air than everyone else. Hope this changes! Very lame WCSD! 👎🏻
- October 11, 2017 at 9:34 PM
The Walnut Creek School District IS NOT called Walnut Creek Unified School District. It is just called Walnut Creek School District as it only has K-8 schooling, and after finishing up at Walnut Creek Intermediate, the kids in that sector of Walnut Creek then move onto Las Lomas High School in the Acalanes Union High School District!! It is the same way in the 3 Lamorida cities, with each having its own K-8 school district, and then the teens attending Acalanes, Camplindo, and Miramonte High schools. I am sorry if I sound like a Rain Man.
- October 11, 2017 at 9:51 PM
Frankly I think this is a smart move. The other school districts are over reacting in panic and not logic. The kids in school are probably going to breathe less bad air then they will at home playing outdoors or going to shopping centers and malls.
- October 11, 2017 at 10:09 PM
I see both sides of this. I'm a teacher and it was really hard walking outside today. Inside the classroom was fine, but the kids have to leave the room to go to the restroom and in middle school to go to each class. It got progressively worse throughout the day. As a parent, I'm concerned about all the kids walking to and from school. It's a hard decision.
- October 11, 2017 at 10:38 PM
As a parent who's kids are grown, I understand both sides as well. As a parent, if your kids attend a school that's open and you want your child to stay home, keep them home. Send a note saying you kept your child home for health reasons. It's an excused absence.
- October 11, 2017 at 11:07 PM
High achievers.
- October 12, 2017 at 12:36 AM
A lot of these kids walk to and from school, many of them probably have no other means of transportation (parents at work, etc)
Ridiculous, and not okay. Walking around Las Lomas from class to class before being marked late is already a pain, speed walking in smoky air that burns your eyes and nose?!
Somebody is not thinking this through.
- October 12, 2017 at 7:59 AM
I'm glad MDUSD, DVC and Martinez chose to close their schools today. Other schools and districts do what they think is best and I won't denigrate them. As a retired teacher, I know the concerns, though.
- October 12, 2017 at 9:31 AM
Good lord,
For all of these parents who are saying the air quality is so bad all schools should be closed, I hope you are as vigilant with your kids when we have spare the air days throughout the county. I have seen kids riding there bikes and skateboarding all ready this morning. The only exception would be for kids with any respiratory issues, they should be protected on days like this.
And to the RN, you and I both know you are getting more people at the ER because of the news coverage regarding the air, and the over reacting parents who's default is to go to the hospital.

On Saturday(November 12th) Leslie Mann attended the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' 8th Annual Governors Awards at The Ray Dolby Ballroom in LA.
She hit the red carpet in a MONIQUE LHUILLER PRE-FALL 2016 in a strapless white branch & bird printed gown with a ruched skirt and bodice.
Leslie is never one to do anything interesting with her hair or make-up so it is no surprise to see her with her signature straight tresses and a simple colored lip. Playing off of the hues on her gown, she topped off her look with green ankle strap sandals.

Can you actually die of a broken heart? Yes you can, doctor reveals
Dying of a broken heart sounds like the stuff of fairy tales – but there's a grain of truth in the phrase, according to one heart expert.Two tonnes cocaine seized off Cornwall is one of the largest ever UK drug hauls
'Broken heart' syndrome is very real – a heart attack-like syndrome where patients collapse, feel breathless and suffer chest pain, often after stress.
It can be brought on by bereavement, or by other stressful events such as arguments or financial stress (or even happy events such as winning a lottery prize).
Dr Lawrence Philips MD told Business Insider, 'There is absolutely a broken heart syndrome, called Takutsubo's cardiomyopathy. We'll see it in people who have been in a stressful situation. The heart is not squeezing normally. The treatment initially is to find out if the heart attack is from a classic blockage.'
Patients usually recover – the syndrome affects more women than men, and is often temporary and reversible.
Dr Philips says, 'We have to be very aggressive, use medication to strengthen the heart and to give the heart time to improve itself. '
The British Heart Foundation says, 'Takotsubo cardiomyopathy was first reported in Japan in 1990. The word 'Takotsubo' means 'octopus pot' in Japanese, as the left ventricle of the heart changes into a similar shape as the pot – developing a narrow neck and a round bottom.
'The main symptoms of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy are chest pain, breathlessness or collapsing, similar to a heart attack. In some cases, people may also suffer palpitations, nausea and vomiting.
'If you experience these symptoms or see the signs in other people and suspect they may be having a heart attack, phone 999 immediately.'

Our Christmas extravaganza is pretty complicated. It can vary from year to yea, based on my husband's ever-rotating work schedule. We also have 2 sets of grndparents that live close, and want to have our own family time. After several years of finding out that our gifts paled in comparison to the grandparents' , and how quickly the kids lose focus of why we celebrate, we decided we really wanted our celebration as a family to be 1st. So, we wake up Christmas morning and celebrate together. Mommy makes a fun breakfast (usually trying something new each year) and we read scripture, pray, visit and get to the gifts. I love to see the kids open gifts for each other. Next year, I think I'll have them draw names to ease the madness and the spending. This picture cracks me up because Julia still has her curlers in and they are all in mis-matched PJs that they put on the night before...kind of funny to me when I see so many other people's pictures with brushed hair and matching PJ's. Oh well...that's what you get with a house full of boys and 3 Christmas celebrations to be had!
Our celebrations continued on Christmas eve and Louie's parents' house. Once again...food, good company and gifts.The above picture is Christmas morning....before we left for my parents' house. "Happy" perfectly describes this baby...and I love the ear sticking out! The kids and I were heading out alone because daddy was scheduled to work Christmas Day. :(
On my way, I rolled down the window and took a picture of the gingerbread men we all made this year (that's why it isn't the greatest picture). The kids begged to make these. So, mommy drew the men, daddy cut them out and the kids and mommy painted them...one for each kid.
So....we got to my mom and dad's (who were acting very strange) and when we brought the gifts tot he tree, daddy popped out from behind the couch and surprised us. He managed to get the day off but didn't tell us. I love how he loves to surprise us! :) He had been hanging out there all morning, while we took our time getting there...oops! We were all so happy to spend the day with him
My mom and dad have this bear that moves and reads the story, "Twas the Night Before Christmas"...Josh was captivated by him.
The hit of the day...Jonah's new Jumparoo.....it's like an exersaucer and a johnny jumper all in one! He loves it...what more could a 6 month old ask for ????

Ethan is the Coen brother who won three Oscars for No Country for Old Men in February and wryly offered two speeches that consisted of little more than "Thank you" each time. Now, with fitting modesty (hence Almost an Evening), he's brought three quick one-acts to the stage, and the first two in particular — the afterlife comedy Waiting and the spy tale Four Benches — are clever showcases for his droll minimalism. And just before each word starts to feel too precisely selected, F. Murray Abraham riotously blows the roof off as God Who Judges, a smack-talking Moses look-alike, in the raucous third playlet, Debate. (Tickets: 212-239-6200 or Telecharge.com) B+

If you struggle to get to sleep, or always wake up in the middle of the night, then it may be your diet that's preventing you from having decent shut-eye.
That's according to a renowned food scientist, who has helped create the ultimate menu for the perfect night's sleep.
Based on university research and scientific evidence, Dr Rachel Edwards-Stuart worked with registered nutritionist Lily Soutter to create a three-course dinner that will help you snooze peacefully by nightfall.
Dr Edwards-Stuart, who researched flavours and textures for a PhD sponsored by Heston Blumenthal at the University of Nottingham, and Ms Soutter created the menu scientifically in a laboratory owned by mattress company SIMBA Sleep.
They first analysed some ingredients to select those which have been known to promote sleep.
The first ingredient chosen was kiwi, as researchers at Taiwan's Taipei Medical University found that eating kiwi on a daily basis helped improve the quality and quantity of sleep in a recent study due to the fruit's high antioxidant levels and high seratonin levels.
They then picked chicken, because experts have found that the bird is one of the best sources of tryptophan, a building block of sleep hormone melatonin.
Walnuts were also included on the menu, as researchers from the University of Texas found that the nuts contain melatonin as well.
Dr Edwards-Stuart and Ms Soutter then found complimentary ingredients to pair these foods with, that would not reduce sleep-enhancing properties.
They used science to pair up ingredients based on shared aroma profiles. This included pairing kiwi with omega-3 fatty acid-rich mackerel for the starter, as Oxford University research has shown that omega 3 fat could stimulate the release of sleep hormone melatonin.
They also included spinach and olives in the starter dish as both share aroma compounds with kiwi. Spinach is also high in magnesium and research has shwon that levels of this mineral fall and rise in correlation with people's 24-hour sleep and wake cycle.
With the main course, they chose magnesium-rich pumpkin seeds to pair with the chicken, as well as sweet potato, a source of tryptophan.
For the dessert, Dr Edwards-Stuart and Ms Soutter wanted to keep the sugar levels in the sweet treat low as sugar can disrupt sleep.
Therefore they chose honey to sweeten the dessert as it has a lower glycaemic load in comparison to regular sugar and won't make blood sugar levels spike. They also paired melon and apple juice with the walnuts because they are both good sources of fibre, which can slow the release at which sugar enters the bloodstream and can keep levels stable through the night.
A menu for the perfect night's sleep
Sustainably sourced mackerel, organic kiwi, Kalamata olive, and baby spinach salad
Corn-fed chicken, pumpkin seeds, black garlic and organic sweet potatoes
Fresh Galia melon with yoghurt, walnuts, walnut oil, apple juice, honey and mint

Another interesting aspect of the contest for songwriters is that the band competition finalists will each perform the winning song from the previous years songwriters contest during their own competition.

Just dragged my ass down to the kitchen. I was a lucky girl earlier and had a friend bring me diet coke (pretty sure that is what it says under "friendsship" in the dictionary, "Person 1 brings unidentifiable fluid to person 2").
All you need to get well.
That whole ginger-chilli-lemon-shebacle...hm...I dont know. I am very skeptical.
Coke will do until tomorrow. BUT if I still cannot use my voice, my number one feature, in the morning I will throw in the towel and wobble over to tesco and buy myself some ginger. Okey? (after an hour long google-session on what works the best of course. I never do anything half heartedly.)
Met 2 of the 3 roomies in the kitchen.
The first one goes:
- Wow, you have color in your face again!
The other one joins in by saying:
-You dont look horrible anymore!
Gee, thanks. Compliment of the year.
(It probably is. Think about it, how many people have I met since the new year started? I got sick on the 2nd. How many compliments could I possibly have collected in 2 days?)
BUT, since strenght AND voice is still missing from the adorable person we all love, I could not bite back.
Intead, I did what a REAL lady would do (I mean I do want to get married. Must watch that tongue.):
I smiled politely
Whispered "gentlemen"
Cursied slightly
Gently placed my drink between my fingers
and then lightly danced out the kitchen...

DNA test identifies siblings
A siblingship test is used to determine the statistical probability that two individuals are related as siblings. Direct paternity and maternity DNA tests are always the best option to determine biological relationships. However, in instances where the alleged parents are unavailable for DNA testing, siblingship testing provides another option.
Siblingship results are reported in a different manner than paternity test results. Instead of 0% or 99% or greater probability that you would see with paternity results, siblingship results will indicate if the test participants are more or less likely to be related as siblings based on the genetic material exhibited by each person. The strength of the tests will vary and may not provide conclusive results.

Texas Primary Election day...
What a lousy citizen I am. I didn't go vote. I'm registered and all, but to be real honest about it, I don't keep up with local politics much, and I've seen so few ads or anything that I didn't know who was who. I just looked through the list of some of the races on the KFDM TV website (graphic also links to their web page.) If the R's re-elect Tom DeLay then they deserve what they get. I hope I can remember to turn on local news at 10:00 to see how things went. There's a couple of judges I'd like to see win; but for the most part, one name means no more to me than the other. I noticed Kay Bailey Hutchinson isn't opposed - imagine that.
As usual, Bush follows suit with his "didn't know" theme -- and had to make a trip to Texas to vote since he "didn't know" to get his absentee vote in on time. Geez. Another waste of our tax dollars! A postage stamp versus a whole entourage on Air Force One. Well, at least he voted I guess. Wonder if he voted for DeLay.
Nothing new here - did the little job I had, will get in a couple in tomorrow afternoon. Worked some on my flower bed, but not very long. I had a bag of lime here and sprinkled it over the clay clumps hoping it will break them up a bit. I don't know how much you're supposed to put or if you're supposed to water it. I just sprinkled it over the top. I'll see what it looks like tomorrow. Maybe it ays on the bag but the print is too little. Wish I knew somebody who knew about all this stuff. The people I knew who know are now either dead or gone. Guess I could look it up on the web, but I'm not in the mood to read at the moment. So, with a wing and a prayer. Maybe I should try to find a message board somewhere. Anybody know of one?
I did pot my tiger lilly bulbs and amarillis. They were already sprouting a little bit on top; so I assume that part was supposed to be above ground. Hope they make it. The little seeds that I thought weren't going to make it are barely peeping up through the soil -- tiny, tiny, tiny! They're so cute!
Well, that's it for today.


text: On April 12, one of successful TRDP beneficiaries Kamo Hambaryan (Fish breeding, Rest Zone), with the support of TRDP Shirak Program Leader Zorair Kirakosyan, organized a tree-planting ceremony next to his business premises in Bazum village to commemorate 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. More than one hundred community members joined Mr. Hambaryan to plant five hundred trees in the memory of victims of the Armenian Genocide. The event and the socially driven behavior of Mr. Hambaryan served as a good example and fostered a sense of community among the villagers.

This is my last night as a single lady. I am feeling tired, excited, a little stressed out, loved, tired a little more, and happy. Our rehearsal dinner was a success, and though we ran into a couple of stressful moments, we feel pretty set for tomorrow. But really, can you ever really be ready for your wedding day? I have already cried twice, made two of my bridesmaids cry, and have sworn a couple dozen times.
And guess what? It's 12:03. It's my wedding day.
So at 4 PM today, I will be making my way down the aisle toward Mr. Library to become Mrs. Library. I cannot wait, and yet, I want time to go slowly so I can take it all in.
Happy wedding day, Mr. Library! I love you more than words can say, and I cannot wait to be your wife.

Setting the record straight! (original)
Last night my wife told me that one of the parents in our youth group said, "If Joe ever chaperones a youth event, parents may want to consider asking for someone else." Now I know this person was joking or at least I hope they were joking.
There was this one time when I chaperoned a ski trip a few years back, a mother came up to me and asked if I was the one who was going to be watching her youngest son. I told her I was. She had a concerned look on her face, so I assured her that everything would be OK. But, I added, if he don't behave I will just bodyslam him. Of course I was only kidding. But she gave me the meanest look I have ever seen and she said, "That is what I am worried about." I tried to assure her I was only kidding but she did not want to hear that.
So I am going to set the record straight and put everything on the table. After today people will either except me for the jokesterI am or not. It is as simple as that. As my favorite college science professor always said, "If you don't hate the Russians by the end of this lesson, I have failed in my objectives." Wait...That was one of his quotes, but not the one I need for this article. Anyway, let me get started.
1. Yes. I did melt candy bars and put them into diapers then have the kids taste the chocolate to see if they could guess what kind of candy bar it was. What? They were CLEAN diapers.
2. No. I did not run over the associate pastor's son with the car. That was someone else. It was just his foot, it was an accident, and he is OK.
3. Yes. I did have a live cricket spitting contest. Yes, the youth pastor's wife walked out because she was getting sick. But the Bible does say that people in the Old Testament used to eat crickets, locus and such. Yes, a tenth grade girl did win, GO Courtney!
4. No. I did not "borrow" any of Gabe's stuff. Gabe is our associate youth pastor. Someone else borrowed that stuff. I may have had a hand in a cyber prank though. I did come up with the name of the website "wehavegabesstuff.com." I did have a voice changing computer program that I used to leave Gabe a robot voice message . And I DID make the guys give Gabe his stuff back.
5. Yes. I did let my Sunday school class photocopy their face last year for us to make a bulletin board in our SS classroom. I supervised it and made sure everyone closed their eyes, so no one would get hurt. I am not the one who let them do it this year.
6. No. I did not fall into the hot tub at the ski trip two years ago. I was just testing the water.
7. Yes. I did seek revenge on one the 11th grade Sunday school teacher. I did nothing to provoke an attack on the trees at my place of residence with a soft tissue like substance. After watching Lord of the Rings, I felt compassion for my trees and decided to help them out. So with the help of MY SS class, we did get satellite pictures of her house. We made a couple of reconassice missions. We had acquired the help of a spy, an 11th grader, who to this day no one except me and a few other very reliable friends know their true identity. The mission fail because someone talked. The 11th grade SS teacher got the wrong person. But I learned my lesson, vengeance is mine saith the Lord.
8. No. I did not think of the practical joke at this years high school retreat. But, I did help remove one of the toilet seats in one of the girl cabins. It was before the girls got there and I did make sure it was put back into its proper place. Of course it took a couple of hours for us to remember where we put it.
9. Yes. I did have a bobbing for Spam contest. Yes, a 10th grade girl won again. Courtney is my hero!
10. Yes. I did put a dirty pair of underwear in Gabe's mouth. Let me explain. We were at World Changers sleeping in the Gym with 75 other guys. Gabe found this pair of underwear that had been laying on the floor. I noticed the underwear a few days earlier but I was not going to mess with them, I thought that they belonged to one of the guys. Well, long story short, Gabe attacked me with them. I took them from him and put them on his head. I could not help he was yelling and some of the cotton touched his teeth. That is my story and I am sticking to it.
Now, if there are stories out there about me and you have any questions about them, please email me and ask. I will tell you the whole true story.
Let me add one more thing. This is not a joke, it is very serious. Please believe me when I tell you this. I would never, ever, ever let anything happen to any youth I am watching. Or any youth for that matter. I love these kids and it would kill me if anything ever happened to them.
God Bless,
Joe Setting the record straight! (original)

Rubedo Sistemos has successfully signed SME Instrument Phase 1 grant agreement under Horizon 2020 programme for the marketing feasibility study of its innovative 3D perception system Rubedo CVM. The estimated project cost is €71,500 out of which €50,000 is EU contribution.
One of the major driving forces for the 3D perception market is the increasing use of mobile robots and drones for multiple applications. Without reliable vision and particularly depth perception unmanned vehicles are unable to detect obstacles and adaptively plan motion paths. Moreover, the new generation of robotic machines strongly depend on the ability to acquire, organize, and interpret surrounding visual data in real-time in order to stay aware of the environmental situation and act adequately.
Thorough analysis of market and user needs as well as an elaboration of a business plan is needed in order to ensure successful commercialization of Rubedo CVM. This feasibility study project will help validating the market in addition to providing a stepping-stone for future preparation of investor readiness as well as serve as a roadmap for market replication of the product.
Call: H2020-SMEINST-2016-2017
Topic: Open Disruptive Innovation Scheme
Project Number: 791714
Project Title: Feasibility Study for the Rubedo CVM – Innovative Optical Computer Vision Module for Unmanned Vehicles
Project Start Date: 01 Dec 2017
