I must admit ahead of time that what I have to say may be one of the many things one just can't say in public. Sort of like mentioning to a man that his pants are still unzipped, or to a woman that her skirt is caught in back in the band of her underpants.
I'm sure this will give you an idea of how unacceptable what I have to say may be. But I still think the time has come for me to say it.
There are three major forces in this country that do not work: Democracy, Free Enterprise, and "Freedom and Liberty," George Bush's favorite, but least dispensed value. All thinking human beings need to start talking about these concepts, what has happened to them, and what can be done about them. I've talked to myself about these matters, and I'm no expert, so I'm calling on those of you who care to join in with me, as well as with others in the hope that we can contribute to saving this nation.
First, we have to admit that there are all kinds of people, with all kinds of mental capacities, all kinds of education (or lack thereof), and all kinds of motivation. One of the most motivational forces in this country at this time is religion, especially Christianity. We would like to think of its values as all-encompassing, because many of its values are also shared by many other beliefs, including those of agnostics and atheists. Christianity in this country at this time, especially that of the evangelicals, however, has gone completely out of control. It is their belief that the faiths and beliefs of others are meaningless and unacceptable, and that they must be converted or dissed.
To digress for a moment, the human mind is influenced by a number of things. First is the IQ with which we are born. This is followed by the education or lack thereof. And this in turn includes values learned through experience or religious training. (I attended a very good religious school for three years, and was then nearly thrown out because I refused to join the church. I am now an atheist, though I share many of the values I learned at that school.)
There are human characteristics which, fortunately for animals, do not seem to apply to any other animal. Starting with the least harmful, they include inability to reason, sloth, and stupidity. At the very top is Unmitigated Evil. Evil in the form of street gangs is fairly far down on the list because their opportunities are also fairly far down on the list.
Evil is at its most unmitigated, however, when it is used for purposes of personal greed and accumulation of powers in order to control other humans. And that brings me back to why Democracy is not working, and to the unzipped zipper.
In this world full of information (understood or not) as used by media and all the way up to the Presidency to further their own interests, it is easy for the people who are barely able to qualify as voters to be led to the choices they make without being able to reason them out. There are many humans on this level, and they are VALUABLE, because they represent sheer numbers. We need to find a way to serve everyone without USING them.
Next on the list is Free Enterprise. Here, once again, we have an area in which EVIL thrives. We live on a planet which we are increasingly rapidly laying bare. The human population is growing out of hand, and the natural resources are being depleted by humans. Pristine resources, created by the God so many revere, once depleted, will never be pristine again. Yet many humans would rather use them up than control our numbers and accommodate our lifestyles to the animals and natural beauty which are being sacrificed on the altar of greed. In addition, as technology grows and diminishes the numbers of individuals required to serve it, more and more jobs in the bottom pay levels are being replaced, leaving those people nowhere to go for a living or a sense of being needed or pride in accomplishment.
And finally we come to Freedom and Liberty, Bush's favorite boast about his administration. He has set out, as he has said, by the will of God, to bring Freedom, Liberty, and Democracy to the rest of the world. And his Crusade, symbolized by his "farewell" to his office as president, grows increasingly urgent and transparent with possible hints as to what else he has in mind as the "War President" before he leaves.
I must admit ahead of time that what I have to say may be one of the many things one just can't say in public. Sort of like mentioning to a man that his pants are still unzipped, or to a woman that her skirt is caught in back in the band of her underpants.
Thought I would share with you what I did today. I got to watch Nascar and La Boheme at the same time by going back and forth watching first one, then the other. The race start and the accidents are always exciting, as well as the finish. For those of you who missed the race, rain decided the winner. During the many television ads and the fairly lengthy clean-ups and restarts, I turned to La Boheme, which was as thrilling as it was the first time I ever watched it. During the breaks between Acts for scenery changes, I turned back to the race. Just wanted to keep you all up on the eclecticity (my word) of my many interests.

I was lousy at languages when I was in school, but Latin was required in public schools even in the hinterlands when I was young. And I had to take 5 years of Latin to get through Latin 3 so that I could get into college. In addition, I also took French and Spanish, but the one that taught even a lousy linguist the most about English was Latin. It is the basis of most of the English language and probably is why I grind my teeth any time I hear someone in government address an attorney general.
Most, if not all, politicians address an attorney general as "general." This is on a par with "nucular," Bush's pronunciation, which he continues to use even now. I don't know if any of the politicians know about "general," and even the attorneys general probably don't know.
At any rate, in some foreign languages the noun comes first and the modifying adjective comes after, as it does here. In this case, "attorney" is the noun and "general" is the adjective, referring to his status as the top legal representative of a nation or state. Properly, he should be addressed as Mr. Attorney General. "Attorneys general," or "attorney generals" are both plural phrases.
Aren't you glad you know this now?! My language teashers would all be so proud of me as a language teacher, but unfortunately they'e all dead.

Left to right, they are Floyd Brown, Bruce Hawkins, and James Lacy.
Mr. Brown, 47, a 6-foot-6 bear of a man is perhaps best known for his involvement with the Willie Horton television advertisement that helped sink Michael S. Dukakis's candidacy in 1988. According to the NYT, Brown is a bruiser who has a placard on his wall that says:
That is why for Christ's sake I delight in weakness, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.You can read their complete biographies on EXPOSEOBAMA.

An article by Joel Achenbach in the Washington Post says that many experts feel the disastrous flood in the Midwest was caused, not by Nature, but by Man. Human beings replaced the soil and the native grasses with totally different soil and amendments, as well as non-native plants, thus destroying the natural barriers which either contained heavy runoff or withstood it.
The extent and depth of the tragedy, to both Man and Nature, is beyond comprehension. (You are aware that in just the past few days it has been revealed that there are warehouses in New Orleans still full of building materials, food, appliances, clothing, etc., which never reached the victims of Katrina? Most of what they got were poisonous trailers to live in.)
Bush has touched down in Iowa and will speak fo the victims of this Great Flood shortly. I do hope that he will have his shirt unbuttoned and his sleeves rolled up to emulate hard physical work when he moves to the microphones.
And the media are not without blame for the approach they are taking to this calamity. They have spent a lot of air time talking about how this is going to affect YOUR pocketbook and the inconvenience YOU will experience. Unless you are THERE and have felt THEIR despair, you should be ashamed of thinking of yourself, especially as this tragedy plays out. It would be like going to a funeral and jumping up after the final "amen," and saying "What say we all go out for a bite?!"

The displays at the gay weddings have been appalling. No, not the gays. I'm talking about the "Christians." (They're the ones that have to refer to the Bible to find out what they believe, because they usually can't remember without looking it up.)
What each of us believes does not affect what the other believes or does unless what we do is directed at the other person. And that is exactly what the "Christians" were doing, displaying hateful, judgmental signs at the newly married couples. They are undoubtedly the same people who tear the wings off of butterflies just for fun. The last I knew, there was strong scientific evidence that homosexuals were born with a gene that makes them that way. Regardless, there is, no gene that accounts for cruelty. You have to think that up by yourself, encouraged by others of your ilk.
Another anomoly is that many gays have been willing to offer their lives in service of this country, some of them to be expelled because they were gay. On the other hand, many "Christians" are in vociferous support of the current insane war, from the sidelines, making sure that the rest of us know about their support by wearing flag pins or T-shirts, and sporting flags or patriotic stickers on their cars.
Most gays have suffered from abuse or ostracism from early childhood. Leave them alone, and you might even try accepting them as human beings just as some of the rest of us do. If you can't reason that out in your own mind, you might even look in the Bible to see if you can find anything there about kindness to other people.
What is even more appalling is that the laws of this country, or parts of it, can be authorized by a vote of enough citizens thus covered to enact a law that negates any legislation which welcomes gays (few of whom are even recognizable as gay) and provides them with the freedom and and protection of this nation.
And to the gays who are reading this, married or not, may you find many happy years ahead!

Listening to the remaining moments of a Senate hearing on transportation taxes today reminds me of one of Sen. McCain's favorite goodies offered to the American public. He suggests that any gas taxes be dropped for the summer so that American families can take their summer vacations.
Doesn't he realize that those taxes will pay for road, bridge, and other upkeep, as well as encouraging the American public to gradually realize that we have a higher living standard than we should feel entitled to or the earth can maintain? The whole idea was also to use less of a rapidly disappearing natural resource. No concept on McCain's part except to gather support from those who can't think beyond themselves. The one exception I might make is that truckers, who are a vital resource at this particular time in our development, have a very hard row to hoe.
Republicans, in particular, use hatred of taxes or support of those on the bottom of our human heap as one of their major sources of support. It is popular to feel taxes are an imposition upon our "hard-earned" income and to resent paying them, as well as the people or needs that may benefit from them. But there is no Tooth Fairy, with exception of the awareness of the connection of all creatures, one to another, regardless of which is in need. Reminds me of moving through traffic and the awareness of those on a main street with heavy traffic who pause long enough to let someone in from a side street, as well as those who are grateful enough to wave in thanks. Makes you hope you will meet again.

So many things are so bad! The weather situation in the middle of this country is so unbelievably destructive that one wonders how you would ever be able to get over it. It would be like the end of my life to me. The human loss is inconceivable, but as an animal lover, the suffering of those innocents is more than I can bear to think of.
But here is a suggestion that might be a huge help to the people who are suffering from these floods and ought to make their helpers feel good too. If you were planning on a vacation in that area and had been saving up the money to finance it, especially if you had already made reservations, why don't you just tell the people there to keep the money, or send them a check for what you had planned to spend?! I can't think of a gift more appreciated or friendships more profoundly cemented. As for the donor, such a life-changing decision to contribute to the future of those so badly in need—especially if they are people you already know or may know in the future—is a sign of personal growth of character. And what a noble lesson to your children!
Back to the war situation, Bush is off on his triumphal farewell tour of Europe as president, full of his own importance as usual. He did make a limp reference to his many oratorical mistakes—such as "bring it on"—without apologizing for them or evincing any conception of the death, destruction, and lasting hatred they brought on, or the many years it will take for the situation to change. And profoudly sad for his troops, both dead and alive, he had no right whatsoever to send them to wage an unlawful war against a country that did not deserve or invite it. As in sports, there is no victor when the "winner" prevails against a foe who did not invite his attack and is ill-prepared to defend against it. How very sad for both countries!
And the presumptive heir to Bush's throne exhibits many of the same traits that Bush does—victory is the goal, merited or not. As in so many American sports, the use of illegal drugs and tactics are weapons of choice. Sen. McCain has said that he would rather lose an election than a war. Some value for a man hoping to be our next president!

The KSK Kommando Spezialkräfte are elite squads of Germany's Special Forces division from the German Army, Bundeswehr. Organised under the Special Operations Division, the KSK is modeled on the British Special Air Service (SAS) and the (US SOF) United States Special Forces from the US Army.
Currently the German Kommando Spezialkräfte are recognised as one of the top 5 best Special Forces in the world and has received many decorations and awards from NATO and the US Army. As a result, the US Army often requests for joint co-operations of American and German elite units in special anti-terrorism operations in the Middle East and abroad.
After Second World War and prior to KSK's formation in 1996, Germany, and its predecessor West Germany, placed less emphasis on special operations beyond the actual counter-terrorist intelligence police unit GSG 9. At the time, the airborne brigade commandos and Fernspäher companies were the only army units comparable to Special Forces. All the early specialised army units except for one Fernspähkompanie have been disbanded or merged into the KSK since its activation on April 1, 1997.
Similar to all German military units, the Kommando Spezialkräfte deployments require parliamentary and German Federal Government authorisation. The unit has engaged in overseas covert anti-terrorist operations in Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Russia and Afghanistan among many other countries.
Specific operational details, like success or casualty rates, are top secret and withheld even from members of parliament. This practice drew heavy criticism, resulting in plans to increase transparency, accountability and openness regarding the intelligence kommandos by relaying mission details to selected members of the Bundestag.

A fictional story set during the Holocaust, The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas is both heart-warming and heartbreaking. Boyne sheds light on the faults of an adult world from the perspective of a young boy, whose innocence and naivety teach us so much about human behaviour.
Telling the story in this manner affects readers in a couple of ways: firstly, it spares us from much of the horror of Auschwitz. We are able to share in some moments of sensitive humour, such as Bruno's mistaken version of the name as 'Out-With', and thereby avoid hearing all the facts, figures and details. On the other hand, it increases the shock we feel for the occurrences of the time.
The unknowing yet somehow wise and logical words of a child give us a new perception and a human story with which to attempt empathy, although we can never really understand what it was like.
Aimed at children but read just as widely by adults, this book will raise some thought-provoking questions to all its readers and inspire further investigation into this important time in history.

The body responsible for safeguarding equality in the UK will tell the government today that the economic climate is too fragile to impose equal pay reviews on business.Proof, if it were needed, that almost anything can be delayed by invoking the magic word 'recession.' Almost everything, of course: massive payments to failed banks are excluded.
With women's pay on average 17% less than men's and the gap increasing, the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, formed 18 months ago, will say that the reviews should be excluded from the forthcoming equalities bill when it publishes its recommendations.

My posting yesterday asking whether US newspapers have a turned a corner was based on the view of one parti pris investor.
But it's clear that his optimism is widely, if cautiously, shared, especially by those who, throughout this period of closures and cuts, have remained convinced that newsprint newspapers - and, most significantly, their publishers - have a future.
Among the most thoughtful of the inky faithful has been Earl Wilkinson, the executive director and ceo of the International Newsmedia Marketing Association (INMA).
I was impressed with a speech he gave three years ago at a conference in Barcelona in which he could clearly see the need for newspaper owners and editors to embrace change while maintaining a conviction that newspapers did have a future. (My report of that speech is here)
Now, with the better-than-expected quarterly results of certain US publishers - Gannett, McClatchy and the New York Times company - Wilkinson believes the strategies they employed are coming good.
Similarly, in the British context, the rise in the share price of Trinity Mirror (TM), suggests that investors here also believe a newsprint revival (in financial, if not editorial terms) is likely.
Doubtless, TM's ceo, Sly Bailey, would therefore agree with the argument Wilkinson advances in his latest blog, Back from the abyss: editorial cutbacks and the next steps for newspapers.
He argues that America's corporate publishers have saved their companies from most of the doomsday scenarios - "at least for the time-being" - by judicious cost-cutting and reinvestment "in the multi-media transformation that sometimes gets lost between the rhetoric of conferences and the reality of 'shareholder value.'"
But he is worried, should papers return to a semblance of financial stability, that publishers reverse their editorial cutbacks by accepting the journalistic argument that fewer staff means a loss of quality and a loss in circulation.
He debunks that questionable statistical analysis, arguing that cuts were not only financially necessary but the equation between falling staff numbers and falling sales is wholly false. In his view, "cutbacks were at least two decades overdue."
Then he calls on publishers to go beyond the era of cuts to carry out a set of radical and positive tasks. He writes:
"They've proven they can crawl along the bottom of this recession profitably, which is admirable. These moves have given our industry life when obituaries were being written just a few months ago.
"Yet corporate managements haven't proven that they can reinvest these profits smartly – in database technologies, in sales forces that know the value of each medium, in New Age marketing beyond TV commercials, in research and development that's actionable. And, yes, in editorial outputs that connect with audiences."
This is the kind of argument that journalists should applaud, up to a point. Wilkinson does not mention just how editorial should connect with audiences because, I fear, he still sees a split between us and them.
In my view the way ahead - and it's already happening - is to break down the old barrier between journalists and the audience. Publishers sort of know this, but too many see this merely as a cost-cutting exercise.
Print is giving way to online, and I don't think Wilkinson gives enough credence to that scenario. Many publishers have invested in a digital future. But they have been timid because they do not see it as a profitable business model.
The reason they, and Wilkinson, welcome the apparent change in circumstances is that print appears to be paying off once more. That could well prove a mirage. It's really about holding on to the past.
Unless publishers grasp some of the changes Wilkinson urges them to take, they will fall by the wayside. Meanwhile, journalists must urge their owners to allow them to embrace a new collaborative form of journalism in order to ensure those people formerly called the audience remain loyal.

Invercote G from Iggesund: Upgraded for better digital printing
"We're seeing almost an explosion of digitally printed folding cartons. For a company like ours which offers stiff paperboard of the highest quality this is a terrific development," comments Fredrik Lisinski, who is responsible for developing Iggesund Paperboard's sales to the digital print market.
Strong brands led by Coca Cola have shown that the intelligent personalisation or regionalisation of packaging and labels can drive sales. Presses designed for higher grammages as well as new finishing equipment are opening up new possibilities. At the same time, larger sheet formats are paving the way for better economies of scale for digital printing.
"In addition, new applications are appearing that were previously unimaginable," Lisinski adds. "Fifteen – or even ten – years ago, who could have thought that a print run of five calendars featuring photos of someone's grandchildren or three copies of a photo book could form the financial backbone of a printing firm."
Invercote, which is Iggesund's flagship product, has paved the way for digital printing on thicker paper materials since the technology was introduced in 1993. Today's Invercote G is certified for a variety of digital print technologies and is recognised as the market leader by digital printers when they need a thicker or stiffer material than usual.
The rapid development of digital presses and increasingly widespread interest in using digital print on packaging led Iggesund to take the next step with Invercote.
"The upgraded Invercote G that we're rolling out into the market this spring will give us a complete portfolio of products for digital applications," Lisinski explains.
"Invercote Creato is the best choice for all two-sided printed materials such as covers and various types of cards, but also for packaging with equal demands on both sides of the paperboard. The upgraded Invercote G will give customers who want a clear difference between the paperboard's two sides but who still want to be able to print on both sides using their digital presses precisely what they're looking for."
The secret lies in the new coating on the reverse side of the upgraded Invercote G.
Iggesund's engineers were asked to create a reverse side with improved printing properties – in both offset and digital – but without compromising on the natural feel that has been the product's hallmark for many years. The market's reactions to the upgrade have far exceeded expectations.
With this new product Iggesund wants to give the entire digital print industry a tool with which to smash all the barriers that have hindered digitally printed folding cartons from achieving its full potential.
"We don't want our customers to have to choose between good printability in digital applications and first-class packaging characteristics in terms of designability and material stiffness and strength," Lisinski says. "With Invercote we want to give them both. Our status as the market leader proves we're on the right path. With this upgraded product I'm convinced that the entire digital packaging print market will take another leap forward."
Over the past year Iggesund has made major efforts to increase the availability of Invercote in the most common formats for digital presses.
"We've followed the market and worked with the leading press manufacturers. The result is a product portfolio that is perfectly suited to people who do digital printing on higher grammages," Fredrik Lisinski concludes.

So What Exactly is "Value" and How Do I Use It to Sell?
An article of mine has been published on SitePoint.com.
SitePoint is an online media company and information provider targeting the Web professional market, specifically web developers and designers. Its website contains a vast variety of tutorials and articles coupled with a vibrant and well-informed community of over 400,000 members. It was named the third most popular eBusiness website and is currently the 749th most visited web site in the world.
The article is titled, So What Exactly is "Value" and How Do I Use It to Sell? It can be found here.
Clients buy outcomes, or results. Value is based entirely on the outcome your client wants produced. If you want to be paid "what you're worth," you must know what these economic consequences are. Once you understand this—and base your pricing upon it—you'll truly be one step closer to providing real value to your clients.

Get Involved
The members and friends of Lord of Life embrace our mission statement - We are called to know God and love one another. Lord of Life is a Christ-centered congregation, whose purpose is to be the hands of feet of Christ in the world. Our ministries and activities bring purpose and joy to our community. Take a look at what we do. We invite you to participate in our ministries!
Small Groups
Women's Bible Study
Women of the church meet on alternate Tuesday mornings for Bible study.
Women of the ELCA (WELCA) Bible Study
They meet on the second Thursday of the month at the church, 5:00 PM. The theme for January and February is "Being Made New." All women are welcome, and can feel free to come to any or all sessions.
Young Mother's Bible Study
The Young Mother's Bible Study meets monthly for breakfast on Friday morning. No babysitting is provided, please make other arrangements for children. As a group we choose the study we will use, and past studies have ranged from looking at troublesome Bible passages to balancing life's many demands.
Book Lovers
On the last Tuesday of each month, Lord of Life Book Lovers gather at a members' house to discuss a book and enjoy food, drink, and good company. We read all types of books, and book choices are decided by consensus. It is a very casual group and anyone is welcome.
Fair Trade Coffee, Tea, and Candy
We sell Fair Trade Coffee, Tea and Candy at Lord of Life.
Coffee is big business. But sadly, it is often an unjust business.
A lot of coffee is grown by small-scale farmers in poor, isolated regions. In conventional trade, middlemen often force them to accept low prices that don't even cover their production costs, let alone basic living expenses.
The more conventionally-traded coffee and tea we buy, the more we perpetuate this unjust way of doing business. With Fair Trade, however, farmers get a fair price while coffee (or tea) drinkers like us enjoy a gourmet product for about the same price as conventionally traded varieties.
For each pound of Fair Trade coffee, tea, cocoa, sugar and snacks you order through the Coffee Project, Equal Exchange donates $0.20 to Lutheran World Relief's Small Farmer Fund.
Men's Breakfast
The men of Lord of Life meet every Saturday morning for breakfast and fellowship at the Coltrane Café at 7:45 AM.
Prayer Chain
Through the prayer chain, we pray for members and friends of the congregation, as well as the community and the world.
Project66 Community Food Pantry
Lord of Life continuously collects no perishable food items for donation to the Project66 Community Food Pantry. Project66 Community Food Pantry is a non-profit, faith-based ministry providing food to families of need in Edmond, Arcadia and surrounding communities. The distribute food to families in need in cooperation with the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma.
Sunday School
Adult Sunday School
Adult Sunday School is at 10:45 AM on Sundays during the school year. There are two Adult Sunday School Classes to choose from. All are welcome!
1 - The Ole TV Class studies various topics using DVDs. Our goal is to consider God's creation from a variety of perspectives.
2 - One of our adult Sunday School classes meets in the Women's Room on Sundays from September through May each year. We study varied topics during the year, usually in 6-week segments. Bible fluency, one of the goals of the class, is achieved through individual study and small group conversation. The purposes of our studies are to celebrate our faith, fellowship with each other, renew us, and strengthen us for mission in the world.
Children's Sunday School
Children, beginning at age 3, meet for Sunday School at 10:45am following worship. We begin with an opening prayer and songs and then go to our classes. We are using Holy Moly Curriculum. Every Holy Moly lesson follows a four part sequence: Discover, Relate, Connect, and Create. Each week kids watch an animated bible story video, talk about the story, read their bible storybook or bible, and try a creative leaflet activity.

text: This household chose to install a solar hot water system, because they realized that our planet's resources are finite. They felt obligated to make a big change in the way they preserve the environment, because they want future generations to enjoy all the earth has to offer. Installing a solar water heater made sense to them, because the large amount of sunlight Tucson receives. A bonus was the lower initial cost due to rebates, plus the financial value it will add to their home. They liked that TFS was able to design the best system to help combat shading challenges. They felt that all off the TFS team was extremely knowledgeable, hard working, and professional. This family stated that the, "employees all seemed passionate about what they do, and it seemed more than just a job for them." This household also has a solar electric system, drives a hybrid car, composts, line drys their clothing, and uses solar powered landscape lighting.

Posted by Allison on 31 May 2017, 17:54
With good news coming to us last week, we were hoping for more of the same this time around. But as you have probably guessed from our heading, this would not be the case.
As the new week began, the British pound began on 1.3012 against the US dollar. We were hoping for a strong performance, but while the pound climbed to 1.3019 on Monday, this was as good as things were going to get this time around. In fact, the rest of the week was downhill all the way for the pound – not what we were expecting. By the time Friday's trading had ended, the pound was stalled on 1.2840 – far lower than the opening rate on Monday morning had been.
So, would we see a similar pattern occurring against the euro as well? Here, we started trading on 1.1640, but two poor days opened the batting and left us on 1.1565 by Tuesday night. We rallied somewhat on Wednesday, pushing ahead to 1.1582, but another two poor days were to follow. This left us on a disappointing 1.1469 by Friday evening.
With two poor results thus far, could we expect more of the same by the time we reached Friday night against the Hong Kong dollar? We began trading on 10.126 here, and enjoyed a rise to 10.136 on day one. However, that was about as good as things would get, as we then fell to 10.097 over the course of two days. A mild rise – very mild, as it turned out – saw the pound go from 10.09752 to 10.09754 on Thursday, before an obvious drop to 10.006 happened to finish the week.
With three disappointments, would the same pattern be replicated in New Zealand and Australia as well? The pound began on 1.8888 against the Kiwi dollar, before dropping over the course of the first two days – taking us to 1.8422 by Tuesday night. While we rose to 1.8424 the following day, and to 1.8426 on Thursday, we did not have enough to prevent a huge drop to 1.8185 by Friday night.
So, we were almost resigned to a loss against the Australian dollar as well this week – but would that be right to assume? The pound opened on 1.7496 this week, and again we had a similar pattern. Two poor days led to a rate of 1.7277 on Tuesday night, and then two better days took us back up to 1.7360. But this couldn't prevent another fall on Friday, this time to 1.7247.
We dipped from 1.7657 to 1.7292 against the Canadian currency this week, representing a huge fall here.
Another notable fall for the pound here, as it went down from 1.2712 to 1.2487 this week.
The pound started trading on 130.427 this week, before falling back to 128.427.
So, we can see this was far from a strong week for the British pound. It was disappointing after we had made some progress last week, as we felt that progress had been easily wiped out.
One week can change things markedly, though, and perhaps next week we will see things change back in our favour again. With many events taking place now that can have an impact on our standing in the currency markets, it is perhaps to be expected that the pound is struggling. With the election getting ever closer, perhaps we shall not see many good results until this is over and done with. Then we can look ahead and press on with the Brexit negotiations – although those are not set to be smooth sailing, either.
We must simply accept the currency markets will show us choppy waters for the time being, and be ready for many ups and downs over the coming weeks and months. At least, it makes for interesting reading for us.

|Mineola Overview
Welcome and experience what life has to offer when you stop and smell the roses along the way!
Mineola was established in the 1840's, and was chartered in 1873 near an artesian well used by traders. The Northern and Texas Pacific Railroads in 1873 and the MKT in 1881 made Mineola a vital link in the area's commerce.
The city is proud of its heritage and understands the importance of planning for the future. Mineolians and visitors appreciate the warm, country atmosphere.
Mineola is a great place to live, work, raise a family, or retire. If you are seeking an escape from the everyday rush, our town is for you!
In 1989 Mineola was designated a "National Main Street City" and more than seven million dollars, to date, has been spent renovating central business district buildings.
Downtown Mineola is, once again, a flourishing center of commerce. Buildings reflect the history of the area and the artistry and craftsmanship of bygone eras. Decorative cast-iron columns from the turn of the century stand next to Carrara glass facades of the 1930's; ornate architectural details under building eaves contrast with the simple lines of classical revival style. The streets are lined with period lamp posts which provide a peaceful escape to stroll at your leisure in Historic Downtown Mineola.
Hotels built in the heyday of the railroads, as well as several historic homes, have been renovated and are centers of activity, serving as charming bed and breakfast inns and unique retail locations. Situated among more than 20 antique stores are specialty shops which feature dolls, clocks, vintage clothing, furniture, glassware, primitive and collectibles. Craft malls have items created by local craftsmen and artists. Mineola flourishes as a relaxing fun weekend get away.
Mineola is becoming well known and popular for its many cultural activities. Artists, sculptors, potters, musicians, writers, photographers, actors and other artists and artisans have created a cultural Mecca in Mineola.
The 80 year-old Select Theatre is the oldest continuous operating theatre in the state of Texas and offers first run films on weekends. The Lake Country Playhouse, an award-winning live-drama group, headquartering at the Select, offers live productions at least 12 weekends a year.
Historic Mineola is a place where train whistles blow like wind chimes and where hellos and strangers are still commonplace... where you can play horseshoes down by the gazebo or catch bass 'til the sun sets. Stroll through the Piney Woods of Mineola where, magically, time stands still. REST, RELAX, AND RENEW!
Escape to Mineola, where People make the difference.

|The occurrence of bona fide antibodies devoid of light chains in Camelidae was one of the major discoveries within our department. These so-called heavy-chain antibodies bind antigens solely with one single variable domain, referred to as VHH domain or Nanobody (Nb). Methods were developed to clone the VHH repertoire of an immunised dromedary (or llama) in phage display vectors, and to select the antigen-specific VHHs from these 'immune' VHH libraries. Recombinant Nanobodies are small (15kDa) and strictly monomeric. They bind the target with nM affinity, are stable and easy to manipulate. Moreover, the Nanobodies often bind to epitopes that are less immunogenic for conventional antibodies, such as the active sites of enzymes. Due to their small size, they also target areas that are not accessible to standard antibodies. Another advantage is that they generally bind conformational epitopes and that they are well expressed in bacterial expression systems so that they are cheaper and easier to produce in all kind of formats than standard monoclonal antibodies.
Nanobodies as crystallization chaperones
By rigidifying flexible regions and obscuring aggregative surfaces, Nanobody complexes warrant conformationally uniform samples that are key to protein structure determination by X-ray crystallography. The elucidation of the first GPCR structure in its active state using conformationally selective Xaperones demonstrates the power of the Xaperone platform to speed up and reduce the cost of generating diffracting quality crystals of challenging targets. Xaperones are antigen binding fragments from heavy chain only antibodies that:
- bind cryptic epitopes and lock proteins in unique native conformations
- increase the stability of soluble proteins and solubilized membrane proteins
- reduce the conformational complexity of soluble proteins and solubilized membrane proteins
- increase the polar surface enabling the growth of diffracting crystals
- allow to affinity-trap active protein

Erewash Borough Council signed up to Local Authority Carbon Management programme in 2008 so that it could have access to the abundance of knowledge and expertise available in the public sector to tackle carbon emissions from its own operations. This second Carbon Management Plan continues to draws on this experience with additional support from the Local Government Association (LGA) through their Climate Local programme. This plan will sets out a programme for a 19% reduction on our current emissions of 3559 tonnes of CO2 over the next 5 years.
The Carbon Management Plan supports Erewash's priority of making Erewash cleaner, greener and safer. The Council believe that climate change is a big challenge we face and here, in Erewash, we are determined to continue to make a difference. We are committed to the ethos of thinking globally, but acting locally. For this reason, we have produced the Carbon Management Plan.
The Plan outlines a financial case for taking action on carbon emissions. The Council has the opportunity to mitigate the effects of rising energy prices and deliver carbon and financial savings estimated at 672 tonnes of CO2 emission reductions and £183,650 cost reduction over the next five year life of this plan, if all of the identified projects are implemented and targets met. The financial benefits of reducing our carbon emissions will mitigate the predicted price increases if energy costs continue to rise.
Erewash Borough Council could realise real savings and potentially reduce our annual growth on energy by 22% in relative terms between 2013 and 2018. In financial terms we would have been facing an increase in costs of energy and fuel from £1.172m in 2012/13 to £1.505m by 2018/19 if we hadn't taken any action in previous years through our initial Carbon Management Plan.


text: After long years, we are almost at the release date. We are looking sometime this summer hopefully. We have done extensive testing, quality assurance, and much polish onto the game. In fact that is what we are doing now! We plan to release the game free for everyone to enjoy! Of course there would be a tiny little cash shop too for items you may want 🙂 We can't wait to show you what is in store soon!

In the last week alone there have been three high-profile encounters between police officers and knife-wielding suspects. Two of these incidents took place in the US, and both of those ended in the death of the suspects at the hands of officers. The third incident, in the UK, ended with an arrest. Each incident has a corresponding video that gives more details about each situation.
While none of these events are black and white since suspects all had weapons, they do raise questions about when fatal force should be used by police.
The first incident took place on December 2nd. Mario Woods, who was suspected of an assault earlier in the day, was shot dead by several San Francisco police officers. Police said that they had asked him to drop the knife he was holding, and initially used bean bag guns, but to no avail. When Woods began walking away from officers, a flurry of gunshots can be heard.
At a press conference Police Chief Greg Suhr said that his officers could not allow the suspect to leave because he had already proven that he "was a danger to others." However, many believe the video demonstrates that the officers were not in any imminent danger.
The second incident took place in Miami over the weekend. A shirtless suspect believed to have tried to rob a bank was gunned down by officers. After fleeing into a barbershop he walked outside, where he was met by a group of police officers who spoke to him for more than a minute. The suspect, who was holding a straight razor, then put his hand on a police cruiser and pointed the razor in the direction of an officer. In the video it appears that one officer shot a long-range Taser at the man, which was immediately followed by two shots from another officer. The man died at the scene.
The third incident also occurred over the weekend, in London. Another man who allegedly had a knife was in a subway station, where he had injured two people and was continuing to threaten others. According to witness reports the man shouted, "This is for Syria," which has led officials to call this a terrorist incident. London officers however, unlike those in the US, Tased the man and arrested him.
While the situations are similar, it must be noted that circumstances do vary. Officers and police consultants told INSIDER that it is hard to compare situations, because each place has a different protocol.
Still, these incidents raise questions about when force should be used by officers, and whether officers in the UK have different procedures in place that could make a life and death difference. Perhaps US cops could learn a thing or two from them.

We welcomed Rob Lowe to the program to introduce us to and discuss ShipInSpace, a new entry in the suborbital space tourism industry. During the first segment of our 1 hour 24 minute program, Mr. Lowe introduced us to ShipInSpace, he described their proposed space tourist flight adventure program, we talked about the vehicle, the entry and reentry g forces, the stacking system for passenger pods and the safety escape system. Rob also described a typical parabolic flight profile for ShipInSpace once it starts operations in five years. Rob answered questions about vehicle safety and certification, their two year passenger training program, the vertical launch and horizontal landing design, the hatch closure and opening procedures, plus the use of space suits for the occupants, and their pricing model which is significantly lower than their competition. Rob also addressed listener questions about ShipInSpace financing, budgets, and the start of ticket sales. Crowd funding was brought up in the financial discussion, our guest was asked about the competition not only from Virgin and XCOR but from other companies in the U.S., Canada, and across Europe. One of our listeners in India wanted to know how ShipInSpace was different from the AXE APOLLO space project.
In the second segment, Rob was asked about choosing one's pod mates for the flight given each stacked pod had room for four passengers. We also learned that initially the flight frequency would be weekly but that might increase over time. Rob digressed to tell us about his book which is available on Amazon, "The Eccentric Universe." Remember, if you buy the book using The Space Show/OGLF Amazon portal (instructions are in all show summaries on the website and the blog plus the blog has a specific link to our Amazon portal), Amazon will make a donation to The Space Show/OGLF. His book sounds most interesting so check it out. Later, our guest was asked about the possibility of their using Spaceport America and our guest indicated that it was a possibility, as was the use of spaceports in Europe and elsewhere. Near the end of our discussion, Rob gazed forward with an assessment of the potential of a future space tourism and development industry, then a listener asked them about plans to move toward orbital tourism. We asked our guest about their proposed flight test program, Point to Point transportation, and a few more questions about their competition. The last listener sent in an email saying he was a skeptic and wondered about their Plan B if the marketing survey they are counting on turned out to be invalid. In response he said that the company and the spacecraft were designed to do other types of mission so not to worry. He also cited the demand Mars One has experienced in opening up the application process for their mission as solid evidence of the interest in space tourism and travel.

I have read rob lowe's book 'the eccentric universe' and would very much like to contact him, as readers are invited to do in the book.
However, rob.lowe@ the eccentricuniverse.com is no longer available
and no such information is available online. Also up-to-date information regarding shipinspace ltd is extremely difficult to find. Your blog is the end of a long trail of my enquiries so i was very pleased to read it. Thank you.

Another small issue if they accelerate at 1.3 g (assuming this is net acceleration, so it feels like 2.3 g) the rocket will be at 157 km altitude just to reach the required velocity. If the actual acceleration feels like 1.3 g, then it is 0.3g of real velocity change, and you would be more like 700 km up before you reach the required 2000 m/s velocity. What are the actual values? it does not add up.
- 3. Max - September 9, 2013
Hi, I'm trying to confirm a few figures: The ship claims 7 minutes of zero-g, but a maximum altitude of 164 km. They must go up to 250 km for that amount of time to be possible. At 164 km max the zero-g cannot be longer than 5.4 minutes. Such error sounds scary to me.
They will also hit the atmosphere at about 2000 m/s (7200 km/hours, around Mach 6). The wings look nothing like Mach-6 capable.

Flying to Italy
We packed our bags and headed to the airport. Next stop Italy!
Delta really went above and beyond on our journey. Every step of the way the people who worked for Delta were kind and over the top attentive to all of our needs. They changed our seats so we could all sit next to each other and even put us in a row that had extra seats so we could spread out. The kids also got to meet the pilots and sit in the cockpit. The pilot forced me to do the same after I told him I was scared of flying. Didn't really calm my nerves but pretty cool nonetheless. Our flight with Delta really gave me hope that airlines still have a chance to be great again.
After a mighty long day of travel we drove directly to Lake Como to meet up with George Clooney. Unfortunately George wasn't home so we settled for this guy:
Let our italian family vacation commence!!
Stay tuned. I plan on getting my blog (and wine drinking) on. Stories of Italian debauchery to come...

Exception – Cannot have two operations in the same contract with the same name, methods GetDataForTeacher and GetDataForStudent in type WcfSample.IStock violate this rule. You can change the name of one of the operations by changing the method name or by using the Name property of OperationContractAttribute
When I got this exception while using same Name,was wondering what is the role of Name parameter,Methods are implemented with two different names & why is it throwing this exception for the below contract.
public interface IStock
[OperationContract(Name ="GetData")]
string GetDataForTeacher(int value);
[OperationContract(Name ="GetData")]
string GetDataForStudent(int value);
First lesson learnt,do not use anything by simply copy pasting :)Understand the purpose & if it is required then only use it.
Now let me come to the point what does this Name property do?Name has to be specified when you need to override the element name in WSDL.ie to override the name of methods GetDataForTeacher & GetDataForStudent in wsdl.When you specify Name,now what has happend is it reads as two methods with name GetData.Ideally,Name should be specified only in cases where you have the same implementing method names(overloading scenario) as shown below.
public interface IStock
[OperationContract(Name ="GetDataForTeacher")]
string GetData(int value);
[OperationContract(Name ="GetDataForStudent")]
string GetData(string value);

Today is the start of Apple's WWDC 2017 conference, and one of the major focuses of the keynote was watchOS 4.
Apple today detailed the changes that are coming to the Apple Watch with watchOS 4. That includes several new watch faces, like a Siri-powered face that'll intelligently show information throughout your day. For example, if you've got a meeting coming up, it'll show a card with that info. You can scroll through the info cards with the Apple Watch's crown, and there's also a quick Siri shortcut button on the watch face.
Also coming with watchOS 4 are kaleidoscope and Toy Story-themed watches.
Apple has also prepped an updated Workout experience in watchOS 4. This includes updated workout cards and two-way data exchange with gym equipment. With the latter feature, you can pair your Apple Watch with gym equipment over NFC to enable two-way data sharing between the devices, which will ensure that stats like your calories burned and heart rate will be accurate. Apple Watch-enabled gym equipment will begin rolling out this fall.
Rounding out the new watchOS 4 features announced today is a new dock that'll allow you to vertically scroll through recent apps, an updated Music app that'll automatically pull in new Apple Music playlists, and a handful of new dev tools.
Apple will begin offering a developer preview of watchOS 4 today, with a full release coming to all Apple Watches this fall.
The post Apple unveils watchOS 4, launching this fall appeared first on Android News.

"The idea that IFRA is an inside job to kill the natural raw material side of the fragrance industry may seem like an attractive conspiracy theory at first, but upon even cursory examination, this idea falls apart.
Natural fragrance materials represent a sizeable chunk of the fragrance and flavour industry's profits (and this includes the main IFRA members). Creating new aroma chemicals is extremely costly, a big risk, and burdened with its own regulatory pressures. Never mind the all too real possibility that an aroma chemical you have brought to market gets restricted or even banned by IFRA in the future if it is found to be problematic by their standards.
If IFRA were an inside job, this sort of thing would never happen."
The low down on the European Union and IFRA regulations on fragrance and potential allergens as of this very minute is on Basenotes, as written by the knowledgable Pia Long. Please take a look if you haven't by now.
I have personally preached (forgive the emphatic word, I do consider myself an educator and an eternal student first and foremost) the complexities of the matter and the simplistic context of "just follow the money". It's more than that. You can find some of my old articles when the furore online first started under the Restrictions tab.
But perfume is considered such a frivolity by so many people that the greater issues that the industry itself experiences seldom get the limelight. It's high time that we sat down, ignored getting our panties in a wad for once and gave it some balanced attention.

Below is a statement [Written declaration No. 584 | Doc. 13690 | 28 January 2015] by 22 delegates of the PACE (Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe):
[For background: Tabloid of hate: virulent homophobia awarded by Armenia president's state medal and stamped by court's approval]
On 17 May 2014 the Armenian newspaper 'Iravunk' published an article on its website entitled "They serve the interests of international homo-addiction [sic] lobbying: the blacklist of the country's and nation's enemies". It attacked "homosexual lobbyists" for trying to "aggressively enforce their moral dogma on our country". Demanding "zero tolerance", it identified 60 people, calling for them to be ostracised, denied employment and access to the media, and excluded from participation "in the upbringing of younger generations".
The chair of the 'Iravunk' board, Hayk Babukhanyan, is an MP for Armenia's governing political faction, the Republican Party.
The authorities have failed to condemn this incitement to hatred and discrimination. On the contrary, on 25 October Mr Babukhanyan was awarded a medal of honour by the President of Armenia. A law suit against "Iravunk" for defamation was dismissed six days later.
We call upon:
• Armenia's delegates to this Assembly, particularly those from the Republican Party, to impress upon colleagues the need to refrain from incitement to hatred and discrimination;
• The Armenian authorities to condemn such incitement unreservedly and to put in place measures to implement the Committee of Ministers Recommendation on combating discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity.

So I was at the Chinese restaurant waiting for my food, a middle aged man starts talking to me about Trump, the rioters, etc. He's condemning the rioters for burning property, hurting people, etc. He'll get no disagreement from me there. He keeps going, talking about people who get shot by the police because they wouldn't do what they're supposed to. It's Friday evening, I'm in an amiable mood, so I concur. "Yeah, I remember that guy in Milwaukee who wouldn't put down the gun, and the cop shot him. What was the cop supposed to do?!"
Then the man goes on to start criticizing Obama (now he's losing me), "and that Obama says Travon Martin could have been his son…Martin beat that guy up, that was a Mexican feller…He beat him up…" Time to interject. "Now as I remember, Zimmerman followed Travon Martin to his house…" "well yeah, he was a neighborhood watchman and Travon Martin was suspicious, because he was wearing a hoodie" (I promise you, that's exactly what this man said). As I continue defending Travon Martin, a black couple walks in. The second they walk in, the man becomes deathly silent. I just remember concluding by saying, "that's a different situation", in comparing Travon Martin to the stuff we were talking about before.
But you'll notice how the man's behavior completely changes due to the skin color of those entering. As I'm white, the lady at the counter is white (Yes, the cooks are Chinese, they just have a white lady taking orders), he let's a fly. I can't help but wonder, considering that George Zimmerman was not a police officer. If Travon Martin were a white guy named Travis Martin, and Zimmerman were a black man, and everything else had been the same, would this man have the same reaction?
Good to be reminded that just because I'm on the team as these people for the time being, doesn't mean I should get too comfortable with them. So, Democrats, want to win me back in 2020?

Manufacturing Robotics: Automation with Emotion
I enjoy Halloween. I particularly enjoy passing out candy and treats to the children and being amused by their costumes. Some are very creative, and cute. A young girl no older than 3 years was dressed as a duck and instead of saying, "Trick or Treat" she just quacked. It was Hilarious!! So what does my Halloween experience this year have to do with manufacturing. Well, a young man came to my home dressed in a very elaborate and cleverly designed C-3PO costume. You know the clever robot in the Star Wars series that translated for R2D2.
I began to think about how robots in manufacturing are evolving and becoming more intuitive and cerebral, but an interesting phenomenon is also starting to evolve in the world of robotics. They're becoming more emotional.
Say Hello to Mr. Baxter. Rethink Robotics has designed a friendly and compassionate robot with 'common sense'. Baxter is a worker robot with a touchscreen face that's as much about communicating its intent as giving humans something more to experience. It's safe to work around, courteous and follows instructions very well. The ideal teenage son. Baxter also cost about $22,000. Less than a 1/3 of some college tuitions.
Can you envision yourself treating your fellow robot much like you treat your trusted Golden Retriever, Fido? Do you remember Rosie from the Jetsons and B9, the robot from the late 1960's sitcom, Lost In Space (Boy am I dating myself)? These robots expressed emotions like love and fear, were treated like family and were trusted to help make critical decisions that effected the safety and well being of their owners.
Baxter is being touted as the catalyst to help restore US and European manufacturing prowess. Do you think Baxter robots will achieve this objective? I'm not sure, but I would like to know how President Obama and Mr. Romney plan to tax Mr. Baxter. I would hate for Baxter to become emotionally upset and stage a strike.

Great job I thought the robot is kind of slow but then I realized that I slowed its work due to the human presence. I just wonder how complex actions it can do it looks like it is little stiff. But any way it's a great improvement for the industry I'm sure that robotics will get more sophisticated 🙂
