"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father" Matthew 24:36
Is the end of time near? I don't like to particularly dwell on this topic but it has been coming up more and more in Bible study recently. I heard recently that from 1973 through 2000 an estimated 39 million legal abortions were conducted in the United States and recently more groups are pushing to abolish the death penalty. Another State has legalized same sex marriages. How does our Triune God view the direction our country has been taking during the past decades? Thomas Jefferson was quoted as saying "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."
The children in the attached photo are not keeping up with the news coming out of our country. These children attended the Lutheran school in Rue Frere and some of them may be in Heaven today following the earthquake…their end of times may have come. Some may be enjoying their Heavenly mansion while the remainder of their class are prayerfully sharing the news of Jesus Christ with the ears that have not heard that life-saving message.
We don't know when the end of time will come but until that day does come, I hope that you will continue to prepare children in Haiti to bring the Gospel light to Haiti and I am hopeful that Trinity/HOPE will continue to feed children and that must surely bring a smile to the face of our Savior. I heard a song on the way home that was written by Jessica Andrews. The title is 'God don't give up on us' and I couldn't find too much information about this song, but its words seemed to match well with what is taking place today.
"Who will win the holy war? Can you tell me what they're fighting for? And do you look down in disgust; God don't give up on us. Mother Nature's ashamed and bruised. All her precious gifts abused. Her forest burns, her rivers rust; God don't give up on us. Don't give up on me, don't give up on love; nothing loved is ever lost. God don't give up on us. We hold our babies in our arms and pray you'll keep them safe from harm in a world that's so unjust. God don't give up on us. Don't give up on me. Don't give up on love. Nothing loved is ever lost; God don't give up on us. For every bullet fired, for every soul that's lost; forgive our dark desires and the pain we've caused. Please don't close your eyes, to the part of us that's beautiful...still beautiful. How can we regain your trust? God don't give up; God don't give up on us."
Dear Heavenly Father, you have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.
May God be with you…Jay

Midweek Bulletin - #KiaKahaAdamGoodes
Let me check what year we are in ... oh 2015, yet here we are looking on as one of the best AFL players currently in the game, let alone ever is getting booed around Australia. Every time Adam Goodes - who plays for the Sydney Swans and has a rather large list of achievements including two Premierships, two Brownlow Medals, four-time All Australian, Indigenous Team Of The Century and Australian Of The Year last year - sets foot on an opponent's ground this season, he gets booed.
Why? Well you'd have to ask those who feel the great urge to boo Goodes, but it's pretty obvious that there is a racial element. Let's just call this how it is - it's racist.
Now before I go much further,we have also seen a few racist antics on our own shores recently so we're not a land of do-gooders either. The treatment of Fijian rugby player Sake Aca in Canterbury shows that us kiwis also have a lot of work to do and while we believe that we have moved into an inclusive society, reality says that we haven't as you and I both know that racism still exists in Aotearoa.
In saying that, here we are celebrating Maori culture this week - something which we at the Niche Cache do every day instead of a token week or so every year - and I think we can all agree that while not being perfect, we appear to be a much nicer bunch than those across the ditch and in certain countries around the world (like the world-ruler).
I found it extremely ironic that as we celebrate the Indigenous people of Aotearoa and Aotearoa in general, that the current Australian Of The Year is being booed for well, being an Indigenous Australian. Goodes received a frosty reception when he performed a 'war cry' after scoring a goal earlier in the season and this week we saw a teammate/younger 'bro in Lewis Jetta do the same thing in support of Goodes as boo's were heard in Perth as the faced the West Coast Eagles.
I don't know about you, but every time I see a haka, I get tingly. It's a feeling that I can't describe as the Palmerston North Boys haka below almost had me in tears, while a pre-match All Blacks/Kiwis haka makes me feel immensely proud to come from this little nation.
I don't know why many Australians get agitated by the Indigenous Australian equivalent, maybe they just don't understand and this has to have some impact on why they have decided to boo Goodes. Imagine being Goodes, as an Indigenous leader who has done some great things for his people (his people = Indigenous and non-Indigenous) both on and off the footy oval, but now every time he's on that oval, he is rewarded with a boo.
I remember the uproar in Aotearoa about the ol' boo and we saw it again when Argentina played the All Blacks in Canterbury (coinkidink? lol, jokes, settle) as fans booed for no real reason besides the fact that they didn't like what the Argentinians were doing. So take that level of booing, which we are apparently not to keen on and amplify it with racial undertones and a disgusting level of consistency.
I feel like I shouldn't have to say that not all Australians act this way and most who have a voice have said that it's just plain wrong, which is great. But it's happened and there's a possibility that Goodes who is nearing the end of his career could finish up this way - is it an AFL problem? There are copious amounts of great athletes in both the AFL and NRL, a large portion of each game's very best players are Indigenous, but this anti-nature vibe is only seen in the AFL so I don't really know.
Either way it sucks and I wish there was something that we could do, as kiwis to lend our support to Goodes and the Indigenous culture/people of Australia. We definitely haven't got things sussed over here, but you can't tell me that we're not in a much better position.
How about a hashtag? #KiaKahaAdamGoodes
This is somewhat related, but really it's just a timely reminder of how dumb us humans have been for quite some time...
Zac Guildford looks set to be reunited with Darryl Gibson at the Waratahs next season, which is a complex thing to wrap your head around. We obviously want the best for Guildford and a change of scenery, while being so close to home could do him wonders, not to mention that Gibson will offer a mentor and guidance as well. But is Sydney the place for a recovering alcoholic? I'm not 100 percent sure about that, but it does offer Guildford a chance to forge a successful professional rugby career out of what has been a rather crazy past few years.
It's our nature to only really pay attention to those who go on and achieve in their chosen sport, but things can very quickly go pear-shaped and Guildford's career is now at a crossroads. Europe wasn't a crossroads because he was so far from home that there was a slim chance of it working, but now it is purely up to Guildford as everything looks to be in his favour. All the best chief.
Lydia Ko is set to bring the ruckus at the British Open which starts tomorrow night with the second best golfer in the world warming up on a similar links style course last week at the Scottish Ladies Open. Ko finished fourth there and will be eyeing up the competition, I'm excited but apparently she has some competition in the form of local lass and fellow teenager Charley Hull.
The Silver Ferns won again against South Africa, yey! I was pretty excited for the Netball World Cup, but these games against Fiji and South Africa have quieten that excitement down a whole lot. Hopefully I find my peptides soon in time for the World Cup.
Pour one out/light one up for Tom Brady who lost his battle against the NFL and Roger Goodell to have his 'deflate-gate' suspension ruling overturned. I'll leave this one for the Wildcard, he knows much more than me.
Sticking with the NFL and while we appear to be living in the stone age a lot of the time - racism, needless killing of each other etc, we have seen Jen Welter become the first female NFL coach. Coach as in she's been hired as the assistant linebacker coach during training camp, which is so far removed from being a legit coach, but hey, it's a step in the right direction. Shout out to her.
And shout out to Vladimir Putin for his top-shelf troll. Just as Michel Platini has said that he'll be running for the FIFA-overlord position, currently held by Sepp Blatter, Putin has said that Blatter deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. A classic troll, which has gone worldwide, what a troll.
Take us out John Cena...

Zoos make me extremely sad. However, when I travel I always go to them as it often tells a lot about the city and country that you are in. For example, I went to small road side zoo in Egypt that was filled mostly with dogs! The Memphis zoo houses many animals. A few seemed to be enjoying or making the best out of their environment. The seals and a number of the monkeys appeared to keep themselves stimulated and entertained. However many of the large animals were downright bored or had gone absolutely mad, which was very apparent by the unnatural repetitive behaviour that they were exhibiting. See that breaks my heart.

Corporate Photography - Stefan Sagmeister at The Corcoran
I often photograph lectures and visiting artists who come to The Corcoran. This week's lecture was designer Stefan Sagmeister. His lecture was different from many others I've shot recently in that it was more in depth than just a slideshow of his work. He gave great insights into how he designs and the thought process that leads to new ideas.
After the lecture, he met with a smaller group of Corcoran design students to answer questions. His answers were candid and held the type of advice that is actually helpfull to people learning his craft.

The case, published in the 'Lancet', describes a ten-week-old girl who was taken to hospital by her HIV-negative mother. Once the daughter was diagnosed, HIV transmission was initially thought to have taken place in hospital; however, the mother confirmed that her sister had been breastfeeding the baby intermittently over the past four weeks. The sister and her own five-month-old child were subsequently found to be HIV positive.
DNA sequencing of virus samples from the girl, the aunt and the cousin confirmed that the girl had indeed been infected through the surrogate breastfeeding of her aunt.
Dr Tulio de Oliveira from the Africa Centre for Health and Population Studies in South Africa, senior author of the case study, said: "This was a devastating case for a family in South Africa. The aunt breastfed the infant out of great kindness so the mother could go back to work. However, this ended up as a tragedy. "
The World Health Organization supports six months of exclusive breastfeeding for all infants, including HIV-exposed infants, who should receive antiretroviral therapy to prevent mother-to-child transmission.
The study highlights the need to identify the HIV status of surrogate breastfeeders as well as mothers, in order to ensure that HIV-exposed infants have access to antiretroviral therapy as early as possible to minimise the risk of transmission.

The New York Times isn't just accused of political bias, it's science bias too. The paper is being sued for libel by a university professor after an article about academics and food lobbies, according to The Gainesville Sun.
University of Florida professor Dr. Kevin Folta sued the Times and reporter Eric Lipton for a 2015 story "he says unfairly portrayed him as a 'covertly paid operative' for Monsanto, a company that produces genetically modified crops," The Sun reported on Oct. 13.
Folta is UF's horticultural sciences chairman and a photobiology and strawberry genomics scientist who supports GMOs.
His lawsuit complained the Times wrongly portrayed his connections to Monsanto and public support for GMOs and caused damages including death threats and cancelled speaking engagements.
"The damage is so catastrophic that it serves to silence the other honest scientists for fear of the same fate," the lawsuit stated. Folta is seeking more than $75,000 in damages over the article he says was a "'kiss of death' to a public scientist's reputation."
The Sun noted the case was transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida but no trial date had been set.

Author: George Orwell
Format: Paperback
Pages: 78 pages
Published: April 19th 2018
The most famous by far of all twentieth-century political allegories, Animal Farm is the account of a group of barnyard animals who revolt against their vicious human master, only to submit to a tyranny erected by their own kind, can fairly be said to have become a universal drama. Orwell is one of the very few modern satirists comparable to Jonathan Swift in power, artistry, and moral authority; in animal farm his spare prose and the logic of his dark comedy brilliantly highlight his stark message. Taking as his starting point the betrayed promise of the Russian Revolution, Orwell lays out a vision that, in its bitter wisdom, gives us the clearest understanding we possess of the possible consequences of our social and political acts. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Dear JV Families,
I'm excited to tell you about a very special program I'm coordinating for the third year at our school in conjunction with Crayola. It's called Crayola ColorCycle. This is an amazing program devised to turn used markers into energy!
All around Juniata Valley Elementary School students and teachers will be collecting used markers that are ready to be discarded. The markers will be sent to a facility where they will be converted into clean fuel. This fuel can be used to power vehicles, heat homes, cook meals, and more!
Please help support our efforts by sending any used markers you may have around the house into school with your children – even non-Crayola brands. Drop-off bins will be located around the school for your child to deposit the markers.
Thank you in advance for participating! With the help of families across the country, the Crayola ColorCycle program can keep tons of plastic out of landfills each year.
Last year, our community kept 83 pounds of markers out of landfills by participating in the ColorCycle program! Wow!
Remember, don't throw out that used marker—ColorCycle it!

There was a CUTIE PIE CUPCAKE walking down an AMBER ROAD.
She stopped at the corner MULBERRY BUSH coffee shop for a HAZELNUT LATTE and some FRIED ICE CREAM. As she continued on her journey, she came to the local FLOWER SHOP where she purchased some fresh EUCALYPTUS.
When she arrived home, she stoked the EMBERS of the wood burning oven so she could bake some fresh BANANA NUT BREAD to eat with her TOASTED APPLE BUTTER.
That night she dreamed of the MAUI MIST over the WHITE SANDS of Hawaii. When she awoke the next morning, she realized she needed to contact her Scentsy consultant (that's ME!) and order all her favorites from the Bring Back My Bar promotion.

A former laborer is suing sued dozens of companies over allegations their asbestos-containing products caused his lung disease.
Stephen B. Gould filed a lawsuit March 12 in Cook County Circuit Court against A.W. Chesterton Co., H.B. Fuller Co., Union Carbide Corp. and more than 20 other companies.
According to the complaint, Gould was exposed to asbestos between 1972 and 1999, during which time he worked as an installer and lineman and was exposed to the defendants' products. He claims the exposure led him to develop asbestosis, which he became aware of on July 11, 2014.
Gould claims the defendants knew or should have known their products contained asbestos and would result in physical harm, and failed to provide adequate warnings about the dangers of asbestos exposure.
He is represented by attorney Matthew J. Adair of Cooney & Conway in Chicago.

Recently (late June), the official Tether Twitter put out a couple of tweets in which they:
- Linked a 'report', which they titled a 'Transparency Update'
- Linked another report, which they stated was prepared by the law firm, Freeh, Sporkin & Sullivan LLP
It does not take a rocket scientist to guess that these reports were more than likely issued as a response to the litany of critics that have claimed that Tether's reserves are not backed 1:1 (they do not hold one dollar for every Tether that they have issued).
The purpose of this article will be to dissect the reports that Tether recently published and assess whether this should have any bearing on their perceived legitimacy/legality in the crypto space.
Below, are the Tweets for Reference:
Tether on Twitter
Tether Transparency Update: https://t.co/Cwii8stthv
Tether on Twitter
Earlier this year Tether engaged Freeh, Sporkin & Sullivan LLP to review bank account documentation & to perform an inspection of the numbers of Tethers in circulation & the corresponding currency reserves. The report can be viewed in its entirety here: https://t.co/BeLXhQY6FV
Transparency Update — FSS Report (Link in the First Tweet)
The best way to dissect this is to just go through it piece by piece.
So, let's start:
- "We have spent our time largely disregarding these allegations" — I wouldn't call threatening lawsuits against any and all individuals that speak against your company to be 'disregarding'. I also would not consider attempting to solicit the services of another accounting/auditing firm (Friedman LLP) in order to silence said critics, 'disregarding' either. But let's not nitpick here. In addition, this is not their first transparency update either.
2. Without an audit performed that actually confirms the above statement, this is no different than saying, "I can fly. People have seen me fly, there are reports on me flying and other leaders in the airplane industry have observed me do as much as well."
Additional Facts for Consideration
- This doesn't speak on the fact that their banking partners in Taiwan also declined to do any further business with Tether/Bitfinex in 2017 as well. Bitfinex's banking partner was under significant scrutiny through the latter half of 2017 and well into 2018 too (and still is, to some extent), because they refused to divulge the identity of their banking partner during that time. The only information that is publicly known about Bitfinex's banking at this current time has not been through any official communications by Bitfinex, but through a leaked source obtained by Bloomberg and Reuters that attested to the fact that Bitfinex was an account holder at ING.
- It was also discovered that Bitfinex was redirecting customers to a relatively obscure bank account in Poland that is represented by a shell company that is owned by yet another shell company. So, to assert that they have been anything remotely close to "transparent" or "open" about their banking relationships is laughably false and I think it can be concluded from the statements above that they have failed to maintain good rapport with most, if not damn near all of the major financial institutions on planet Earth.
- The assertion that they have maintained a good working relationship with "regulators, governments, and law enforcement agencies" rings false as well. One piece of evidence that this is not the case is the fact that they were subpoenaed in December 2017 by the CFTC (the news broke in January 2018).
- They also ended up dissolving their relationship with their supposed auditor as well.
- Their supposed auditor was also sent a subpoena by the CFTC.
- The nature of the subpoena issued by CFTC was essentially confirmed to be criminal since they denied a FOIA request. The CFTC's response for denying the FOIA request was, "Some records are exempt from disclosure under FOIA Exemption 7(A), 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(7)(A), because disclosure of that material could reasonably be expected to interfere with the conduct of the Commission's law enforcement activities" and that, " Some records were obtained on the condition that the agency keep the source of the information confidential. Those records are exempt from disclosure under FOIA Exemption 7(0), 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(7)(D). That exemption is intended to ensure that "confidential sources are not lost because of retaliation against the sources for past disclosures or because of the sources' fear of future disclosures." These two statements in unison strongly imply that there is an active and ongoing criminal investigation into Bitfinex/Tether's (they're both one in the same) business dealings.
- The DOJ has recently opened an investigation in which Tether/Bitfinex are rumored from credible sources to be one of the primary targets of that investigation as well.
- Tether also writes in their press release that, "Some writers posit an industry rife with money laundering and fraud." In my estimation, that is correct and, for the aforementioned reasons, this should be considered thorough, non-bias journalism.
- Tether also states, " All issued, redeemed, and existing Tethers, including all transactional histories, are publicly auditable by means of the tools provided at Omnichest.info and Etherscan.io. Until global assurance advisors resolve the complexities associated with the completion of digital asset audits, the (immutable and verifiable) blockchain will have to do." The argument that blockchain somehow makes it prohibitively complex to receive a financial audit for a company is laughable considering the fact that an immutable record of transactions should do nothing but facilitate this process (assuming everything is actually legitimate).
- A 'random' check to ensure that Tether has the appropriate reserves in account does nothing to improve the veracity of Tether's claims. Until we know what the operating/maintenance/fixed costs and any other associated expenses of the business as well as their receipts and debits over the period of the last 12+ months, there is no way to verify that the money in the bank account actually represents a reserve.
- The above statement feels like something that should be intuitively understood by most individuals. However, it has not been, so I felt it necessary to clarify further. Let's assume a scenario where there was a massive 'bank run' and every single outstanding Tether was redeemed for the money in that bank account where the "random check" was performed. We have no proof that there would be enough money left for customers to receive their deposits from the Bitfinex exchange and that Bitfinex and/or Tether would remain solvent enough to complete their oeprations. We also do not know the source of the funds in the bank account either. If any of the criminal allegations against Bitfinex and/or Tether are true, then it makes sense that there would be able to obtain at least an equal amount, dollar-wise, to the number of Tethers that are currently in circulation. That is not the question and that should definitely not be seen as the barometer of legitimacy either. The best way to quickly "prove" this would be to provide bank statements as well as invoices to the corporate/huge buyer customers that they deal with and show the steady, increasing incremental value of the associated bank account or "reserve" in accordance with the amount of Tether issued.
- None of the documents that Tether claims FSS was given would help actually verify the legitimacy of the claim that, "Tether is backed 100% by a corresponding amount of fiat cash."
- "Tether's anti-money laundering ("AML"), Bank Secrecy Act, and Office of Foreign Assets Control Program" would not help verify the legitimacy of Tether's reserves.
- "Tether's AML/Anti-Terrorist Financing Risk Advisory Report from 2018" would not help either.
- "Extensive documentation on Tether's account registration process and procedures and its AML system and compliance policies" ; Not helpful
- "An unredacted consulting report issued by a professional services firm retained by Tether"; once again, unhelpful.
- "Complete account opening paperwork and materials concerning Tether's accounts with its banks"; once again, unhelpful.
- "Tether's banking policy, banking access policy, and internal controls, including as they relate to the issuance of new Tethers"; unhelpful
- "Financial information related to Tether"; COULD be helpful, but we simply do not know enough information.
- "Tether's registration as a money services business with and under the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FINCEN)"; given the fact that they are currently under criminal investigation by the United States government, this is definitely unhelpful.
- "Documentation and materials with respect to Tether's personnel and its corporate structure"; Once again, NOT helpful.
- "Materials concerning the number of issued and outstanding Tethers, both historically and currently."; Publicly available information and, once again, unhelpful.
Tether concludes this 'Transparency Report' by audaciously stating that, "We are pleased to be able to present independent verification of this."
What was presented in those paragraphs on their website is far from what one could consider an independent verification. In fact, all they really proved is that Bitfinex is solvent and that's about it.
There is no viable proof that the money is sourced legitimately, when the money arrived (ironically, bank statements did not make the list of documents they passed on to the "Washington-based firm" — which seems like a pretty intuitive thing to add to something like a….bank audit), or even that the money actually belongs to Bitfinex and is not borrowed in whole or part. In addition, there is no evidence that this money is not part of the same pile of cash that is necessary for Bitfinex/Tether's operating expenses as platforms. Having $3.2 billion in the bank for $3B+ in Tethers does not count as reserves if $500–$1 billion of that money represents the total expenses of the exchange or the liquidation of some customer reserves, for which Bitfinex has no permission to run a fractional exchange for.

Reanna & Emma // Engagement
Reanna and Emma are just two peas in a pod. I actually went to primary school with Reanna, so it was a pleasant surprise to receive an email from her inquiring about my services for her upcoming wedding to Emma!
Our session just flowed so perfectly. With two so in love, my job just becomes a breeze, capturing personalities as raw and natural as they're expressed. The adoration that Emma and Reanna have for each other is just radiant with the way they look at each other, and their little inside jokes and moments which had them in hysterics even made me laugh - and I had no idea what they were about!
I can't wait to capture their wedding in September 2017!

text: My wife and I recently saw Contagion. At times this film was a bit spooky, as any realistic depiction of population-destroying virus should be. Brooding electronic music paired with a montage of empty streets and uncollected garbage gave me a sense of what the world would look like if the fragility of civilization were tested. Each scene is a vignette of the increasingly dire situation each character faces, and the consistent tempo makes the struggle palpable. Nobility wins the day, however, as sacrifices are made and lives are saved.

TydenBrammall offers its new Laser Tag serial number transfer system for customer shipments. The patent-pending process reduces tracking errors and tampering in the logistics channel. The Laser Tag serial number transfer system is simple to use and is available on TydenBrammall cable-style transportation seals.
Cargo seals have a unique identification number marked on the seal's lock body. This identification is typically written on the shipment's bill of lading. It lets the consignee verify the seal number against the shipping documents to ensure that no cargo tampering took place during the shipment. Laser Tag technology uses a precision laser that burns the serial number into the seal body and the transfer label at the same time. The specially formulated repositionable adhesive label peels off the seal for application to shipping documents. The label shows up clearly on documents and stands out on photocopies. Identical serial numbers on the seals and shipping documents ensure accuracy and security and eliminate the potential for error.

Coffee: the must-have office perk
If there is one perk that employees really appreciate it's free, or even subsidized, coffee. The fact that many workers spend $1,000 or more a year on coffee suggests that the motivation to drink coffee must be very strong. Providing employees with access to coffee in the office — either free or for a modest price — is an easy and inexpensive way to make them feel valued and appreciated. A survey by Green Mountain Coffee found that 37 percent of employees would prefer free or subsidized coffee over an annual office party.
Coffee is a simple pleasure that many people depend on, and which improves productivity. A survey of U.S. workers and their coffee habits conducted by Alterra Coffee Roasters found that:

English intertitles
Manhatta (1921) is a short documentary film directed by painter Charles Sheeler and photographer Paul Strand.
Production background[edit]
Manhatta documents the look of early 20th-century Manhattan. With the city as subject, the film consists of 65 shots sequenced in a loose non-narrative structure, beginning with the Staten Island ferry approaching Manhattan and ending with a sunset view from a skyscraper, it is considered by some to be the first American avant-garde film.[1] The primary objective of the film is to explore the relationship between photography and film; camera movement is kept to a minimum, as is incidental motion within each shot; each frame provides a view of the city that has been carefully arranged into abstract compositions.[2]
Manhatta was a collaboration between painter Charles Sheeler and photographer Paul Strand; the intertitles include excerpts from the writings of Walt Whitman.
Preservation status[edit]
In 1995 the film was deemed "culturally significant" by the Library of Congress, selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry, and was restored for the DVD set Unseen Cinema in October 2005; the film was completely restored in January 2009 by archivist Bruce Posner, working with film restoration company Lowry Digital.[3] Posner spent close to four years returning the film to its original glory; the Museum of Modern Art and Anthology Film Archives also commissioned a new score from New York composer Donald Sosin.[4]

Mentored by Simon Cowell, they comprise Myles, Rak-Su J, Ashley Rak-Su and Pharoahcious.
And Simon was not the only judge impressed, with fellow judge Nicole also giving the group the seal of approval.
What did Cheryl say about Rak-Su?
Cheryl, who temporarily judged with Simon at the Judges' Houses this year, admitted she was a fan of the band as they performed.
Myles got all bashful and became red-faced as he made eye contact with the former Girls Aloud star.
As the boys left Simon couldn't help poking fun at him as he said: "You like her don't you?"
Myles looked embarrassed as Liam's other-half quickly said: "I'm taken, sorry!"
Simon then couldn't resist saying: "Anything can happen on this show!"

Why was Myles Stephenson warned off by Liam Payne?
Cheryl is currently dating former One Direction star Liam Payne who didn't seem impressed by Myles' flirty antics.
Liam appeared on the ITV show to perform his single during the first live show and quipped: "He fancies my missus so I've got to keep an eye on him!"
But Myles didn't take any offense as he told Now magazine: "Liam did indeed [make a little joke], he's a lovely bloke, so down to earth, so humble, you wouldn't think that he's sold millions and millions of records. He's such a down to earth guy and it's an honour to meet him."
Is Myles Stephenson single?
Myles secretly split from his long-term girlfriend Rebecca Bignell after reaching the live finals on The X Factor.
The pair had been "on a break" since late September after drifting apart to help him focus on the ITV show.
The Sun revealed how The X Factor singer was also growing close to researcher Demi Kaye - much to the anger of the show's bosses.
A source said: "Their flirting has become a big talking point in the contestants' house and has been noticed by some of the crew.
"It's against the rules and now bosses have given her a ticking off. Demi seems very taken with Myles' charm and they've been hanging out together at the contestants' house."
The Sun's Bizarre column also revealed how the hunk enjoyed a secret hook-up with Love Island star Malin Andersson during his time on the show.
And after hitting it off on social media the pair met up in person for a more intimate liaison.
An X Factor source revealed: "Myles clearly took a fancy to Malin after she made contact on Twitter and Instagram.
"They met up in secret and enjoyed a few nights together at her home in Milton Keynes before going their separate ways.
"It was a cheeky move by Myles given X Factor's bosses ask contestants to concentrate on the show while they're still involved."
However, nowadays the star is trying things out with Gabby Allen who recently left the Celebrity Big Brother house.
Sources had told The Sun that the two had started dating before Gabby went into the CBB house, with one source saying: "It's early days between Gabby and Myles but they really like each other.
"They went on some fun dates before she went into the house and said they'd see each other again when she's out. He treated Gabby like a princess."

Dateline 2017-02-22, Seatrade Maritime News:
Malaysia's oil and gas (O&G) industry needs still more consolidation and preference will be given to those that invest in assets, local media quoted national oil company Petroliam Nasional (Petronas) president and chief executive Wan Zulkiflee Wan Ariffin as saying.
Repeating his comparison between Norway's O&G sector and Malaysia's he noted that there is still a long way to go before Malaysia reaches efficient levels.Between the two countries, which have similar-sized deposits, Petronas has about 3,700 registered contractors while Norwayhas just around 700 players in its O&G sector.
Wan Zulkiflee pointed out that among the 3,700 were agents who did not invest in O&G assets and were reaping handsome profits.
"Imagine a commission of just 1% for the kind of contracts that we award. It runs into a big sum for the agents. We want to only help those who have invested in their assets and grown their expertise," he said.

Normandy, France
Domaine des Cinq Autels- NV
Several apple varieties - from the bitter-sweet to the sharp and zesty - are used in this soft and foamy No Added Sulphur cider. Each type brings unique qualities and adds complexity and balance to the final cider.
We're big fans of serving cider with food - it can often be a better match than wine. Cider is perfect with roast pork, but also works really well with risottos and creamy pasta bakes.
This cider is unpasteurised and made with no added sulphur.
Domaine des Cinq Autels
This Normandy cider is made from more than 15 varieties of apples planted on 9 hectares of land owned by Jean-Rene Pitrou. The varieties have been specially selected to give the optimum cider experience: 60–70% give bitter-sweet fruit, 15% are sharp and zesty and the remainder are what the producer describes as 'tangy'. The estate has been organic since 1967.

Y'all say it, "All right, all right, all right!" R. Kelly is promising a Christmas album for 2014. Because, you know, there's just not enough sexiness during the holiday season.
R. Kelly recently contributed a Christmas song to the soundtrack for the movie The Best Man Holiday. It turns out he had so much fun doing it that he wants to give his fans a whole album of sexy Christmas songs.
R. Kelly and Lady Gaga's awkward moves on SNL >>
Kelly just released his latest album, Black Panties, but when he sat down with RapUpTV, he was already talking about his next project. Kelly is hoping to release a Christmas album in 2014, possibly titled The 12 Nights of Christmas.
As he told the publication, "It's gonna be a lot of lovemaking, and I come with that bearing gifts."
Oh, my. Kelly has always been known for his sexy music and his song for The Best Man Holiday is no different. Take a listen to "Christmas I'll Be Steppin'."
R. Kelly and Gaga team up for "Do What U Want" >>
Pretty hot, right? We especially love lines like, "You're gonna jingle through the night." Way to make sleigh bells dirty, R.!
The album may not be everyone's cup of tea, but The 12 Nights of Christmas is still certain to be a highly anticipated album, if only for the weird novelty factor. Be advised that Kelly is taking this album seriously, though, even if no one else is. As a matter of fact, he's actually worked on it for a year already.
"I started [the album] last Christmas, actually, but I don't believe in just putting out a Christmas album to sell records," he told RapUpTV, explaining his desire to take his time. "You have to take a couple of Christmases and then you have to come with it."
Want more music news and reviews? Sign up for our newsletter! >>
We can't wait. However, we'd like to take a stab at some other album title options. How about:
Red Panties
Green Panties
Mrs. Claus' Panties
Let's Get It on Under the Christmas Tree
Golden Christmas
Sexually Explicit Christmas
Trapped Under the Christmas Tree
R. Kelly Unwrapped
We look forward to hearing his reaction.
Name it…
Got a better idea for the name of R. Kelly's Christmas album? We're all ears! Share it below.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A)
We have successfully developed a new luciferase assay technology that enables the expression of pigment cells, transfected with the fusion gene containing the firefly luciferase gene, to be captured on photographic images. The light discharged by the luciferase-mediated reaction can be quantified by chemical luminescence measurement. Using the photocounting camera and an efficient transfection method, we were able to detect the promoter activity of the tyrosinase gene in human melanocytes. Furthermore, we have obtained the following results as summarized below. 1. The three cis-regulatory elements of the human tyrosinase gene have been identified, and each of these elements contains one copy of a CATGTG motif. We showed that each CATGTG motif is required for pigment cell-specific transcription. 2. In the course of studying the regulation of the heme oxygenase-1 gene expression during macrophage differentiation, we showed the presence of a putative silencer sequence, repressing a function of the heat shock element, which is located in the 5^1-flanking region of the human heme oxygenase-1 gene. 3. Three types of nitric oxide (NO) donors increased the expression levels of heme oxygenase-1 mRNA,suggesting a possible coordinated regulation of heme oxygenase-1 and NO synthase mRNAs. 4. Both heme oxygenase-1 and inducible NO synthase mRNAs were overexpressed in human primary brain tumors compared to the normal brain tissues. 5. The choroid plexus probuces cerebrospinal fluid which plays an important role not only in the mechanical support of the brain but also in the chemical homeostasis of the brain. We found that adrenomedullin, a potent vasodilator peptide, is produced and secreted by cultured choroid plexus carcinoma cells, a rare neoplasm derived from the epithelium of the choroid plexus.

Residents: Grand Concourse catch basin causing concernPosted: Updated:
A catch basin on the Grand Concouse is collapsing into the street and residents say they are concerned.
The catch basin on 188th Street and the Grand Concourse has eroded and much of the cement is completely gone.

Twelve Udacity courses to enrich your resume and prepare for technological job interviews.
Photo: bigstock.com
We know how complicated labor landscape faced by graduates is; there are few vacancies available, and the few opportunities cannot be let go. On the other hand, candidates have little preparation for the intimidating hiring process.
Udacity launched twelve courses to help technology career students enter the workforce; free resources to enrich resumes and prepare graduates to seize the opportunities that come their way.
- Refresh your resume (in association with Google).
- Craft your cover letter.
- Optimize your GitHub (in partnership with Google).
- Strengthen your Linkedin network and brand (in association with Google).
- Data structures and algorithms in Swift.
- Data Science Interview prep.
- Front-end Interview prep.
- Interview prep Android (in association with Google).
- VR interview prep (in collaboration with Google).
- Full-Stack interview prep.
- IOS interview prep.
- Data structures and algorithms in Python.
Most courses take one to two days to complete –just a few require weeks to achieve. Although most aim to prepare students for technological job interviews, some are all-purpose.
Udacity is an educational platform that focuses on preparing and supporting students to get jobs. At some point, they even promised to reimburse the fees for the courses of those who did not get a job, although In December 2017 they retreated. This free instruction alternative is more realistic, practical and has a much higher scope.

Hey everyone! ^_^
As you know–weekends are often my only chance to play around with story tangents and character development. Instead of trying to hit a word count, I'll dream up side stories and character games. I stumbled across a fun little widget of sorts that allows you to paste in text (English or Spanish) and then it will calculate your personality accordingly.
Naturally, I went for my current WIP (Trial by Metal), and pasted in a nice chunk of my opening. The resulting infographic was fun and interesting to inspect. It was pretty spot-on for Terrance and I loved seeing how it broke down the finer points of his personality.
-cue proud author moment here- I'll add Terrance's image below, as it's rather large and scaling it makes things blurry. (oops.) Enjoy!
If you'd like to give the widget a try –take a look here. : Personality Generator
Happy weekend!

A Valentine Poetry Special by Matthew Price/
Shards in the skin of my soul
I love them all, every last one of them
Lovers now only mist, long distant
Yet they linger as shards in the skin of my soul
And I have no malice towards them, no anger
All that remains is love, the colored glass
Glass fragments that catch the sunlight
Illuminating cold stones with rainbow essence
There in the stillness when my soul sleeps
I feel them alive in me, whispering, wandering
My heart clinging to the beauty of what was
Like snow in the shadows, waiting
Aching for the pain the light would bring
If it breathed their lives within me again
Sometimes I hear their laughter, feel a kiss
And give thanks for what lives within me.
Release of the Tempest
Prospero's tempest unleashed
On a metamorphoses of seascapes
Fleshly forms bending
Billowing surf alive
On rhythm's passive dance
Surging, sweeping, swelling
In Miranda's wake
As seabird screams
Echo over the wilding rush
Breakers crashing in thunders
While twisting seafoam flows
From sweet undulations
In a cresting convolution of moans
Swelling, rippling, flooding
Whitecap sheets of night
Tempest now sweet release.
Sweet sacred soul
Hush hush,
sweet sacred soul.
White winter's kiss did burn
in echoes of dust and gold;
a fabric woven in laced stone.
Sweet wine now passion unleashes
for her eyes, sky blue azure glow
are pools of spiced mystery.
Eloquence of black turquoise ripples
and pink-laced lingerie summers
are enveloped in the scent of relics.
There are breathing books on the shelf;
pages of winding staircases and
whispers transcribed on her soft skin.
Sweet sterling etched Scottish shadows
make love within these purple mountains,
caught on memory's frantic photography.
It hints at wild horses sipping trickling streams
in those ancient forests of untamed fairies,
and how they murmur lullabies
of hush hush hush…

Historians like to name drop when telling stories from the past. That's because it's the rich and powerful, the victors in war or economic competition who get to write history. The winners always get their names mentioned. But, in the parable of Lazarus and the rich man, Jesus doesn't tell us the rich man's name. He only tells us the beggar's name, the one considered nameless in human society, but who is worthy of mention in the Reign of God.
It was the assumption in Jesus's day that the rich were rich because God had blessed them for some great thing they had done. The poor were poor because they wanted to be, or because they had sinned against God. President Reagan, in the 1980s, echoed that sentiment when he reminded us that the root cause of homelessness in America was due to people choosing to be homeless. Interesting how much first century theology has managed to perdure even to the present, isn't it?
In the parable, however, it is the rich man who ends up in Hades, paying for his sin. He is surely shocked to find himself there, wondering what rule he had broken to merit such anguish? Certainly in his mind, he had done nothing wrong: he had kept the letter of the law, he probably went to Temple and probably even tithed. He ate well, he dressed well, he lived well. He certainly didn't deserve Hades…he hadn't done anything!
And that is precisely Jesus' point: by choosing to do nothing in the face of such great need, he chose not to see Lazarus at all. Being a rich man wasn't a sin; being indifferent to the plight of the poor and destitute was.
The rich man had had the power to do something, yet he chose not to use that power. By doing nothing, by choosing not to see, by deciding to isolate himself in the suburbs, far from inner city problems, he disobeyed the spirit of Moses and the prophets who, speaking for God, had commanded all of Israel to show hospitality to the stranger, the widow, the fatherless, and the poor.
Jesus doesn't give us the personal background of the man, Lazarus. We don't know if he got fired from his job for alcoholism, or removed from his ministry for pedophilia, or if he had abandoned his wife and children through his obsession with casino gambling on the weekends. We know only that he is now a poor man, covered with sores. Maybe Jesus doesn't give us any more information because he knows you and I excuse ourselves from helping people all the time because, we say, they made certain choices that brought them to this point in their lives. No one forced them to start smoking crack. No one compelled them to drink themselves into despair. No one made them drive to the casino and spend the family savings on slot machines. We Christians are often guilty of withholding help from someone who is hurting when we deem them somehow culpable and deserving of their misery. It's because we don't see them as they truly are.
When I was 14 years old, growing up in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, I saw and interacted with my first black person. I knew there were black people in the world because I had seen them marching on TV, during the Milwaukee race riots, but there were none in my town. The summer after 8th grade, a girl, Venita Washington, came to stay with our white middle class neighbors. She was from Chicago and had a funny accent. She lived in something called "the projects" and had never seen so many trees and so much green grass and she certainly had never lived in a place where only a few blocks away was a beautiful lake with a beach, where she could swim for free every day. She said she had a brother, Leonard, which she pronounced funny, like "LEE-uh-nard". We gave her my sisters' hand-me-downs, listened to her stories from another planet, and in the process, she became our new best friend. We threw her a huge birthday party, and bought her the very first birthday presents she had ever received. We hugged her and cried on the day she had to go home to Chicago, promising to keep in touch—a promise none of us actually kept. We returned once again to the our normal lives in a city full of trees and green grass, a big, blue lake, and lots of white people just like us.
This was 1971, and racial equality was being enforced in every city in the country. By the time I graduated high school, there was one black student in the school, and even a few black families had moved to town, although they lived on the "other side" of town, nearer the river, where the lower class people lived. For many whites, my parents included, the idea of changing society seemed somehow unnatural, like someone was trying to get them to admit that sunrise should happen in the evening and that the dead of winter was the right time for planting a garden. No one had ever considered the possibility that things might be, could be, should be, different. Most of these people weren't mean-spirited, they just weren't noticing the suffering and injustice around them—much like the rich man wasn't noticing Lazarus. No doubt he left his house every morning on his way to the marketplace without even noticing Lazarus. He stepped over him, or walked around him, or took a detour in order to keep from noticing him. And that's what Jesus condemns about him. That's what Jesus condemns about us.
Most of want to believe that things are different, some fifty years after the Civil Rights movement began. We'd like to think that the War on Poverty has been won, or that people of all colors are equal. But today, the most noticeable aspect of our economic program and perhaps the most dangerous aspect of American politics is the growing gap between rich and poor. . . . Today the gap between the poorest Americans and the wealthiest Americans is larger than at any point in the last 50 years. The richest 1% of us have as much wealth as the entire bottom 95%.
Again, the rich man's sin was not that he was rich: it was his attitude. Yes, he could have thrown Lazarus a piece of bread, but that would not have saved him. We often make the same mistake. We think if we throw money at the poor that will solve the problem, but that won't save them either. The deeper issue for the rich man is the same issue for us: an unwillingness to enter into relationship. It is one thing to hand out services and food to the poor, but it is a harder thing to actually establish a relationship with a child of God who is visibly poor or broken. To offer food and aid to the poor is part of our responsibility as Christians, but real healing can only happen in a relationship. We need a return to a biblical era-style hospitality that welcomes all, that nurtures all, that creates social bonds between all.
For all that, this parable is still about hope because we are assured once again that no matter how bad things get, no matter how difficult life gets, no matter how many people do not notice our pain, God does notice, and God is making things right. Not only does God not forget the poor as a group, he remembers them by name, he knows their situations, he heals their hurts. In sending Christ, in making us into the image of his Christ, God expects that we will engage in the business of co-creating God's Domination-free Order. The only way for this new Order to become a reality is if we get our hands dirty and begin.
Certainly there are days when we play the role of Lazarus. Unforeseen circumstances change our life's direction and all seems lost. There are other days when we play the role of the rich man. We may not all drive BMWs or own choice real estate, but we are rich beyond measure when compared to most of the rest of the planet.
If we accept the reality that we have these vast resources at our command, and if we acknowledge that we are the presence of Christ in the world here and now, and if we agree that we are called to help build God's Domination-free Order for humanity, how then, shall we, the rich, live our lives?
