Absent from the Body, Present with the Lord
All across this world every day, approximately 150,000 people pass from time into eternity. That's just over 100 every minute and almost 2 every second. Up until now, at least, all these people have one thing in common: they are not us. Today, for most of us, death is somebody else's problem. One day this will not be the case. One day we will all take our stand in that long line of people waiting for that, the most personal of all moments. What will it be like?
With it's characteristic brevity and clarity, Question 37 of the Westminster Shorter Catechism helps us here: "What benefits do believers receive from Christ at death?Answer: The souls of believers are at their death made perfect in holiness, and do immediately pass into glory; and their bodies, being still united to Christ, do rest in their gravest till the resurrection.
At death, the souls of believers are made perfect in holiness. That is to say every vestige of sin, every stabbing sense of shame, every trace of guilt will vanish from our souls instantly and forever.
Absent from the body, we will be instantly present with the Lord (2Cor 5:8). There will be no in-between moment when we are neither here nor there. We do immediately pass into glory. The moment we are gone from here, we will arrive there. We will close our eyes on this life and open them to the glory of our Savior. There, we will see Him. And seeing Him, we will be like Him forever (1John 3:2). Our sin and the corruption from which it flows will not survive the sight of our meeting with Jesus. We will look at Him and He will look back at us-- and what He sees will be immediately lovely in His eyes, only lovely, altogether lovely, always lovely. How pleased He will be to see us. How happy we will be to see Him. Sin, guilt, and shame will all be a memory, slipping into the review mirror of eternal regression. We will leave it all behind us. We will never pass this way again. Our past will never come back to haunt us.
Sin, however, will not be the only thing we leave behind. For a while, at least, we will leave our bodies behind as well. "Our bodies being still united to Christ do rest in the graves until there resurrection." Two things to note here: First of all, our bodies matter to Christ. He did not merely die to redeem our souls from hell. He died to redeem our bodies for heaven. We cannot live a full life without them. Just like with Adam's pre-Eve experience in the garden of Eden. It was a lonely hearts club. Even though he was a perfect man, in a perfect place, with a perfect relationship with God, there was something distinctly not good about him. It was not good for him to be alone. Well can't we make a similar statement about our souls. It is not good to absent from the body. I am not sure what life will be like as a naked spirit in the presence of God, the Father of Spirits. Please don't misunderstand me, it will be glorious, no doubt about that, just not as glorious as one day it will be when are reunited with our old friend, the body. This is the second thing to note here, Though we might struggle to believe it when we first enter the glory, our experience of heaven will only get better and better. As wonderful as it will be to home in Spirit. It will be very much better to walk about the New Heavens and earth. To see these things with our eyes. To consider them with our minds. To discuss them with our mouths. To feel them against our skin. Glory, glory dwellers in Immanuel's land!
So take courage, my brother, my sister, Christ is coming for you soon. When He does, what others see on earth might look very much like death, but what you will see will look like life, abundant life, endless life!. Jesus put it best when He said, "He that believeth in me shall not see death." He will not allow His holy one to undergo decay. He will make known to us the path of life. In His presence there is fullness of joy. At His right hand there are pleasures forevermore.

Sunday: Part II: And then the Director of the Berlin Film Festival put the bread in the lady's pocket
Alex and I shared a fantastic evening the night before the pitch – entirely accidentally we bumped into each other climbing the chattering cobbled narrow streets of old Cannes in search of dinner. Having missed my friends, I was alone, breathing the night and the frisson of opportunity and excitement coupled with the refreshed calming sea air of Cannes and sort of looking forward to a solo meal at which to gather my thoughts and prepare for the day. At which point Alex happened along, and he kindly invited me to join his table for a great dinner. And at the end of it, we went for pudding and talked about our words to ourselves mine (as those of you who have seen my tattoo will know) is simply 'yes'. Alex enjoyed that, and I enjoyed his company, his wisdom and calm manner. As we drank red wine and ate surprising apple tart and talked about Sundays, outside I saw a man approach a lady on the phone and calmly put bread in her pocket. Turns out it was the director of the Berlin Film Festival Dieter Kosslich. Oh – the things you see in Cannes!

Emotional Aromatherapy
In September of 2015, six new oil blends were released to assist in balancing moods and helping individuals work through the emotions they are feeling. These blends have been carefully formulated to provide targeted emotional health benefits. These oils can be used aromatically and topically to aid in brightening and balancing your changing moods. Single oils can also be used to help an individual release unwanted emotions and cultivate positive ones, however, this does take time and skill. What is great about these six blends is that it is a simple and effective way to hone in on what you are wanting to change.
Just a few drops of these naturally complex, fragrant blends can elicit profound emotional responses to help you let go of burdens, find comfort and encouragement, or inspire you to dream with passion again.
So let's take a look at these six amazing oil blends!
(Frankincense, Patchouli, Ylang Ylang, Labandum, Amyris, Sandalwood, Rose, Osmanthus)
• Promotes feelings of comfort and hope
• Counteracts negative emotions of grief, sadness, and hopelessness
• Diffuse during times of loss to comfort the soul and evoke feelings of hope
(Peppermint, Clementine, Coriander, Basil, Yuzu, Melissa, Rosemary, Vanilla)
• Promotes feelings of confidence, courage, and belief
• Counteracts negative emotions of doubt, pessimism, and cynicism
• Diffuse when working on a project at work or school to stay motivated
(Fractionated Coconut Oil, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Ginger, Clover, Sandalwood, Jasmine, Vanilla, Damiana)
• Ignites feelings of excitement, passion, and joy
• Counteracts negative feelings of boredom and disinterest
• Diffuse in the morning to start the day feeling energized and enthusiastic
(Vetiver, Lavender, Ylang Ylang, Frankincense, Clary Sage, Marjoram, Labandum, Spearmint)
• Promotes feelings of peace, reassurance, and contentment
• Counteracts anxious and fearful emotions
• Diffuse at night time to promote a calming environment and restful sleep
(Spruce, Bergamot, Juniper Berry, Myrrh, Arborvitae, Nootka Tree, Thyme, Citronella)

• Counteracts negative emotions of anger and guilt
• Diffuse when meditating to help release harboring feelings of anger and guilt
(Wild Orange, Clove, Star Anise, Lemon Myrtle, Zdravetz, Nutmeg, Vanilla, Ginger, Cinnamon Bark)
• Promotes feelings of optimism
• Counteracts negative emotions of feeling down, blue, or low
• Diffuse at home, work, or school to promote a positive, uplifting environment
•Use aromatically in an essential oil diffuser.
• Apply 1 or 2 drops in your palms, rub hands together, cup in front of your nose, and inhale deeply (do not touch eyes).
•Dilute and apply topically to aromatherapy touch points such as the back of the neck, on the wrists, and over the heart.
I have to tell you, since my family and I have started using these beautiful aromatherapy blends for our emotions, we have seen a change in our home. We are kinder, gentler, and expressing so much more love than before! I didn't think it could get any better than we already had, but I was wrong! Our home will never go without these six oil blends. I saw an immediate change in our emotional atmosphere when we first started using them, and now almost a year later... they still work wonders for us!
These oils are available to you as a wholesale membership kit and also comes with a beautiful diffuser to disperse these lovely aromas in your home!

I met Rachel and Deuce at the car shop for our four-hour documentary session. Not at home, not at the park, not at the pool. At Leonard's Garage & Service Center in South Austin.
A small detail? Maybe. But also a microcosm of the difference between the life of a hard-working, ass-kicking single mom and that of an "average" two-parent Austin family? Most definitely.
The life of Rachel and Deuce could never be mistaken for boring. They're on the go all the time, and they both have an energy level that leaves most of us in the dust. Rachel runs her own business full time and supermoms Deuce full time too -- ain't no preschool raising THIS wild child...
You might be thinking: Whoa. How does she do it all, while also being unapologetically herself, and one of the kindest people I've met?
My answer to you: magic sauce. It must be, right? What else would make it possible for a single mama pull off independently raising a very spicy three-year-old, running a successful business that supports other mothers through the toughest first years, honoring the many cherished friendships in her life, all while keeping her sh** together? There's gotta be a magic sauce.
Possibly the most remarkable thing about Rachel & Deuce is not their show-stopping sense of style or high level of energy, but the balanced, healthy bond they seem to share. This mama is this kid's best friend. I don't mean that in the corny way, I mean it in the rare way. They wrestle. They make fart sounds. They play superheroes. They cuddle and read books. Rachel sets boundaries lovingly but firmly, and Deuce tests them but ultimately respects them.
In the four hours we spent together, I never heard them argue or bicker or even negotiate for more than a few passing seconds. There were no struggles or tears.
This is incredibly impressive to me and at the same time seems absolutely paramount to finding joy and calm in such a busy life. Does she make single momming look easy? Not exactly. But does she make it look joyful, rich, and content for both her and her boy? Damn straight.
And on most days, this is far more than I can say for my own parenting of my own children.
Every family photojournalism session I shoot leaves my heart full with the clear parallels that exist among ALL loving families. Despite our differences, we are all walking the same path in some ways.
Spending a few hours with Rachel and Deuce highlighted a particular theme that I've been thinking about a lot lately in my own life -- the balance of control and release between parent and child. Rachel does beautifully what I'm yet trying to master: picking your battles. When Deuce was carrying the kitten around in a way that didn't make the kitten happy, she put her foot down. But when he wanted to wear only his spiderman shoes and underpants to Whole Foods for lunch? No problem.
Thanks for sharing a slice of your life with me Rachel. We all could learn a thing or two from you, mama.

The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh : Rabbit Has Issues.
Well hello there, friends!
It's time for a rumbly, tumbly, adventure over in Hundred-Acre Wood. That's right! This week we're talking about the first ever feature for Winnie the Pooh: Disney's 1977 The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
Aly walks us through a brief biography of the author of the Winnie-the-Pooh books; A. A. Milne, as well as the illustrator of the originals; E. Shepherd. She also gives us the rundown of what inspired the Pooh books; Christopher Robin and his toys, the forest Hundred Acre Wood is based on, and how much Christopher Milne hated being frozen in time as the young hero of these stories.
Sarrah informs us that this is, in fact, a package film! She also talks about the troubles the animators had animating the characters to resemble toys (especially when it came to their eyes), and how successful this movie was both in theatres and home video. Everybody seems to love Pooh and his friends!
Our walk-through has us having trouble resolving our feelings on Rabbit, wondering how these characters ever survive without Christopher Robin, and calling back to an older episode and it's nightmare fueled elephants.
So before we say TTFN, let's bounce on over to this week's episode – all about Pooh!
Some Things We Discussed:

I enjoy having a workbook to work through in the mornings. I can take one thought from what I read and chew on it throughout the day. I am presently reading this book by Graham Cooke. It is the second book of the Way of the Warrior series.
Chapter 13: Your Intimacy Intimidates the Enemy
Soulish Christians believe that is simply costs too much to get free from the things that bind them. They settle for mediocrity in their relationship with God, their friendships, their marriages and their churches. They would rather sit in bondage than pay the price to get free. They fail to realize that Jesus Himself has already paid for that freedom on their behalf; they simply have to walk with Him through the journey into that Promised Land.
Joshua and Caleb had one thing in common. They both practiced a level of intimacy with God. God loves to confirm His nature to us. Our intimacy with Him is built upon His intimacy with us. He loves to be close. He loves to declare Who He is for us. His intention is always about a deeper relationship.
Intimacy engages with God where He rules in heaven. It is the joyful discipline of a resurrected lifestyle. We are focused on the life above – not the one beneath. Col 3:1-2. Worship is focus – powerful focus. Worship fixes our heart. Intimacy inspires a steadfast spirit. We cannot lose when our focus is God. Rejoicing and giving of thanks inspires us to stand in the shadow of the Almighty.
The application questions are as follows:
What upgrade have you received in your relationship with the Lord? What upgrade is He planning for you? What are you facing in your current circumstances that would try to prevent you from inheriting for the Lord?
It is vital to retrain yourself in rejoicing and giving thanks. Where will you start? Pick a situation – lay it down before the Lord – step away from it and turn your back on it. Begin to worship God for Who He is. Resist the urge to draw Him into your circumstances. Instead let Him draw you into a place of majesty.

River2 Blog
News and updates about the River2 aggregator.
Category Archives: Features
Storing your rivers in Amazon S3
The reason to store your rivers in Amazon S3 is that you get the infinite scaling of S3, compared to the very finite scaling of EC2 (esp if you're using a micro-instance).
1. If you haven't already done so, configure the OPML Editor for S3.
2. Using the AWS dashboard, create a new S3 bucket. You can name it whatever you like, but it must be unique across all of S3. If your initials are BM, something like bmRiverBucket probably will be unique. Remember what you named the bucket.
3. Using your remote desktop app, access your server. On the server machine, bring the OPML app to the front.
4. Bring config.root to the front.
5. Navigate to config.river2.prefs.static.
6. In s3Path, enter a forward-slash (/) followed by the name of your bucket followed by a forward-slash. Something like /bmRiverBucket/.
7. Set flSynchToS3 to true.
8. You can leave s3Url empty, River2 will fill it in for you.
After your next scan, look in the bucket. If it worked, you should see your static files, a full set for each user, and one for your main river.
How to make your static river "beautiful"
I've been working with the people on the River Of News mail list to make wikiriver.org nicer-to-look-at. Of course it's just a river maintained by the River2 tool. So once we had it so that one river could look nicer, we can make them all nicer.
Here's how to do it…
1. Bring config.root to the front and navigate to config.river2.users.
2. Open the user whose river you want to beautify.
3. Open prefs then beautifulRiver and look for a boolean value named flBeautifulIsIndex.
4. Click in the Value field and select false, type true in its place and press Return.
That's it. The next time your river scans this one will get a new look.
If you want to beautify your main river, navigate to config.river2.prefs.beautifulRIver and change its flBeautifulIsIndex value to true.
How to map a domain to your river
On the ec2-for-poets list, Donovan Watts asks how to access his river through a simple domain name.
Doing so involves editing the object database, which is straightforward, but should be done with care.
To prepare, make a note of the IP address of the server. Using the web interface of your domain registrar, map the name you want to use to the IP address of the server. Since there are a lot of registrars and their user interfaces are different, I can't show you how to do this part.
How to
1. Set up River2 so that it's creating static files in a sub-folder of your Dropbox folder. That's done on the Prefs page of the River2 app, and it's linked in the menu at the top of every page on your River2 site. Follow the instructions in this earlier howto if you haven't already set up Dropbox on your server.
2. From the Prefs page, copy the path to the folder onto the clipboard. Here's a screen shot that shows what you're looking for. We're going to show the OPML Editor how to serve from that folder.
3. Bring the OPML app to the front.
4. In the Misc menu, choose the Jump command.
5. Enter this address: config.mainresponder.domains then Click on OK.
6. Press Return to create a new entry in the table. Click in the Value portion, where it says (nil), and paste in the file path you copied to the clipboard in step 2. Press Return.
7. Click in the Name portion of the new entry and replace "item #1" with the name of your domain, press Return.
When you're done config.mainresponder.domains should look like this.
I've set it up so that my tester server is generating a public version accessible at daveriver.reallysimple.org. If that URL doesn't work, it means that I've retired the test server.
Also note, as of this writing there isn't really an alternative to Dropbox. If there is one at some time in the future, of course you can use it. And technically, you don't actually have to use Dropbox for this feature to work. However it doesn't interfere with Dropbox if you are already using it (and it's a very cool way to connect servers and workstations).
How to export your River2 subscription list
Donovan Watts asks: "Can you tell me how to export my River2 feeds? Installing River2 on my Mini & can't figure out how to transfer feeds from laptop."
1. From the River2 home page, click on FEEDS in the menu at the top of the screen. Scroll to the bottom of the page, where you should see a link that says: "View the OPML subscription list." Click the link.
2. The OPML file appears in your web browser. Then choose Save Page As from the File menu of your browser (I use Firefox or Chrome, the command might have a different name in other browsers). Enter the name of a file and click Save.
3. Then, to import the OPML file into your installation, bring the OPML app to the front and choose Import OPML from the River2 sub-menu of the Tools menu. Locate the file you exported in step 2.
Note: I like to answer questions in blog posts instead of on Twitter because I get more than 140 characters to explain what's going on. Also it's easier for people to find an answer using a search engine, in the future. It often works better if you can ask the question in an environment which doesn't have a 140-character limit. People often omit an essential piece of info in their request for info, and it's even worse with the 140-character limit. If you can't find a blog to post your question on, just post a comment here.
Matt's questions about River2
Matt Diaz is an incoming Studio 20 student and has been using River2. He had some questions — which I am answering here on the blog in case these come up for others.
1. He'd like to be able to organize the feed he's subscribed to into separate streams that River2 saves into separate HTML files and pushed to Dropbox.
There is a way to do this, it works, but there's no user interface to set it up. I use the feature on the east-village.org server, I have a stream for the East Village blogs, one for nyblogs.org and another for my own personal aggregator with the news feeds I'm interested in.
I think it's a little too difficult right now to hack it in yourself. I need to create a UI that makes it possible to create new users for a River2 installation. Just know that it's not too far from being real, and if you really want it, bring your laptop to the next meetup and I'll see if I can get it to work manually.
2. He'd like to get rid of the small notice of news that right now is advertising nyblogs.org.
That's totally cool. I could add a pref to turn it off, but in the meantime you could change the CSS for the site to shrink it down to 0 pixels. Open river.css in the River2 sub-folder of the OPML folder, and look for "caption." That's where you go to change the style of the caption. Just save it, and the next time the page is rendered it'll use the new stylesheet.
3. He writes: "I was hoping you could clarify how items are organized on the River2 main page. The way I think it works is that items are displayed with the newest ones closest to the top. Then, if River2 pulls an item from a feed that has published another item recently, River2 lumps all of them together (with the newest item at the bottom), and puts the lump at the top of the main page. Does this sound right?"
That's pretty close. Every hour River2 does a scan. For each feed it reads, it pushes all the new items from that feed onto the home page, at the top of the page. Then it checks the next feed, until it's read all of them. It groups them this way so it's easy to see what's new, and then easy to associate each new item with the feed it came from.
JavaScript includes in River2
See the earlier piece for a tutorial on what JavaScript includes are and how they work.
Today there's a new feature in River2. If you have the Dropbox feature turned on, in addition of generating a static HTML page, River2 will also generate a JavaScript include file (index.js) and an OPML subscription list (index.opml) in the same folder as the HTML file. The screen shot below illustrates:
The OPML subscription list, index.opml, is of obvious value — it makes it possible to share your list with other users. It also backs up your list in a place that's automatically synched with your other computers.
The JavaScript include file, index.js, file lets you include the result of the aggregator in another website. We're going to use it as part of the nyblogs.org project to include the news in a WordPress weblog.
For an example of how it works, do a View Source on this page:
There are basically two moving parts — the stylesheet and the
Save it, then drag the file's icon onto Firefox (or whatever browser you use) and you should see an image on the page. If you click the image it'll take you to the full version of the page. And if you wait a few minutes and refresh the page, the image will be different.
This is how the random image in the right margin on scripting.com is implemented.
I have a process on one of my servers that generates the randomThumb.js file and puts it in the same place every time. Try entering the URL of the script into the address bar of your browser.
And do a View Source.
You'll see a "document.write" statement, and inside it — a bit of HTML. That's the extra step I had to do to make this work. Instead of HTML code, the file contains JavaScript code, and it in turn generates the HTML we want to appear in the page. Convoluted, but it works. (This is what programmers call a klooge.)
River2 might need a manual update
My main River2 installation stopped finding new stuff a couple of days ago, and in the rush of iPad mania, I didn't get to look into it right away.
The problem was caused by an update I released on March 30 that was part of a major overhaul that makes River2 a multi-user product. (There's still more work to do on this.)
River2 should automatically update overnight, so if you leave it running, the fix that I just released should take care of any problems. However if you're not leaving it running, or if you want the fix immediately, here's what you can do.
1. Bring the OPML app to the front.
2. Choose river2.root from the Window menu.
3. Choose Update front tool from the Tools menu.
4. Click OK to confirm.
If you needed the update you should get one new or updated part.
Instapaper + Dropbox + River2 = Coolness
Elasticthreads, the guy who asked for both Instapaper support and Dropbox support in River2, now asks that the two features be combined. An obvious desirable thing. And if you update river2.root, you can have the feature now.
Here's my Dropbox-based river, with Instapaper icons.
How to update
1. Launch the OPML Editor.
2. Bring river2.root to the front.
3. Choose Update Front Tool from the Tools menu.
4. Click OK to the confirmation.
How to use
First, be sure that the Dropbox feature is enabled.
Second, be sure the Instapaper feature is also enabled.
Then if you view your River you'll see that there are now Instapaper icons next to most items. If you click an icon, you are transported to the Instapaper site, where it confirms your username and password. Click on OK and then the story is added to your list of unread items. Click the Back button in your browser a couple of times to get back to reading your river.
Being sure you're up to date
If for some reason you believe you haven't got a fully up-to-date copy of River2, here's how you can be sure you're fully updated.
1. Launch the OPML editor.
2. Choose Update opml.root from the File menu. Click OK to confirm.
3. Choose Tool Catalog from the Misc menu. Click on the Install link (shown in the screen shot below).
4. Click OK to confirm you want to install river2.root.

LGBTQ+ rights in Canada and America/
On July 20th, 2005, Parliament passed the Civil Marriage Act, making Canada the fourth country to legalize same-sex marriage and the first one outside of Europe to do so, a milestone for many Canadian members of the LGBTQ+ community. This was following a long period of inclusive conversations between Parliament, the people, the courts, and the government pertaining to the decision of legalizing same-sex marriage. Eventually, the Court ruled unanimously that same-sex marriage was not only permitted by the charter, but flowed from it: civil unions would not suffice.
At the time of this Canadian nation-wide legalization, the United States had only a few states that had legalized same-sex marriage, but were making progress on the subject.
Today, more than 20 countries have recognized same-sex marriage, and the United States is included in that list. Same-sex marriage is recognized federally; however, the details of the ability and legality of marriage and divorce varies depending on the state.
Canada is said to be a leader in the field of LGBTQ+ rights. Although there is still some discrimination against the community that persists, major advances have been made toward formal legal equality and social acceptance. These advances include lifting the ban on gays and lesbians in military, allowing LGBTQ+ members from other countries to apply for refugee status if they were being persecuted in their country of origin, and allowing same-sex couples to adopt. In the past decade, Canada has become a safer place to publicly be who you are on the LBGTQ+ spectrum, as proven by all the recent politicians and athletes who have come out.
Like Canada, the United States has allowed the LGBTQ+ community to serve in the military from any state. However, it is still a different story all together in terms of equality. The legality of adoption, discrimination, and other subjects varies from state to state. For example, while same-sex adoption is legal in some states, it is legal for only married couples in others, only singles in others, and is ambiguous in many. Unfortunately, the United States has very little guaranteed protection for the LGBTQ+ community when it comes to things such as employment and housing discrimination. There is question also of whether Donald Trump's recent presidency will be working to reverse the new-found progress when it comes to the LGBTQ+ community's rights.
Despite this, both countries have made immense progress in making members of the LGBTQ+ community feel safe and protected, and the progress is continuing rapidly.

Important Changes are Coming to the US Census — NPR
Publicado por culturadepapelfcm
"Possible revisions to how the decennial census asks questions about race and ethnicity have raised concerns among some groups that any changes could reduce their population count and thus weaken their electoral clout.
The Census Bureau is considering numerous changes to the 2020 survey in an effort to improve the responses of minorities and more accurately classify Latino, Asian, Middle Eastern and multiracial populations.
Potential options include eliminating the "Hispanic origin" question and combining it with the race question, new queries for people of Middle Eastern or North African heritage, and spaces for Asians to list their country of descent. One likely outcome could be an end to the use of "Negro.""

Action Needed As American Diggers Goes International « American Anthropological Association.
The American Anthropological Association is supporting the petition of our fellow Spanish archaeologists to stop the airing of "Un Tesoro Bajo Tus Pies", through Discovery MAX: http://www.change.org/es/peticiones/discovery-max-que-se-retire-el-programa-un-tesoro-bajo-tus-pies
This television series is the translated version into Spanish of "American Diggers", produced by Spike TV, and that the AAA, along with other professional organizations, strongly opposed to, back in March of this year, as it wrongly represents archaeology as a treasure-seeking adventure. Committed to the scientific stewardship of the past, the AAA has sent letters to the corporate and international management of Discovery Enterprises inviting them to follow up the example given by National Geographic Channel and to initiate a similar dialogue with professional associations and archaeologists to promote an educated depiction of archaeology. But above all, the AAA has expressed its deep concerns about the potential looting and subsequent illegal trade that Discovery Enterprises are promoting around the world by airing "American Diggers" internationally, through their affiliated sister networks. We invite you to support this initiative and increase the voices expressing that the content of "American Diggers" is contrary to the ethics of archaeological practice.

'The Girl On The Train' Presents A Big Mystery, But What Is It? — VIDEO
It looks like Emily Blunt will be sinking her teeth into one of her meatiest roles to date in the latest trailer for The Girl on the Train . Hailed as the successor to Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train is latest in a genre of female-led crime novels to get the cinematic treatment. In doing so, a category often rounded out with male detectives tracking down the answers get a dark and refreshing twist. In this fresh sneak peek, Emily Blunt is the titular girl, Rachel Watson, who witness some very dark dealings from her window on the train taking her to her morning commute. The plot thickens when Watson makes the connection that the woman she believes she saw murdered, Megan Hipwell (Hayley Bennett), is actually one half of the couple she has voyeuristically admired on the same commute on previous mornings. What exactly is Rachel's connection to Megan? Why is Rachel so invested in figuring out what happened to Megan?
The trailer has some major clues as to the driving forces behind Megan's untimely end. Not only is she the unwitting star of Rachel's daily commute, she is also a woman trapped in her seemingly-perfect marriage. Oh and she also happens to be the nanny/neighbor of Rachel's ex-husband. Cue the Law & Order theme song, right? But what I'm most interested in is the suspicion that surrounds Rachel. Not only is Rachel prone to being a Peeping Tom, it appears her psyche is wafer-thin fragile and she has a boozy history. That's not to say she's necessarily that villain of the piece but her status as an unreliable protagonist certainly thickens the plot.
Can we trust Rachel? Is she going to solve the mystery or simply become a pawn in the game? Emily Blunt has been on a major hot streak lately when it comes to tackling hefty female roles (Sicario, Edge of Tomorrow, Looper) that have a dark edge to them. The role of Rachel adds a particularly inviting element —the unreliable narrator—that will surely demand much from Blunt's performance. What The Girl on the Train seems to be promising is a dark, erotic and very tangled mystery that will no doubt leave us all flocking to theaters when its released on October 7.
Do you think Rachel Watson will be able to figure out what happened to Megan Hipwell? Or is she simply too unreliable? Take a look at the latest trailer, full to the brim with extra glimpses at the ensuing mystery, and decide for yourself.

I have had a sore throat and cough for a few days now (hence the lack of posts), but it's a difficult concept to explain to a two year old. When we were driving home from work/creche on Friday last week (Em and I were both in the back (car pooling)) Em wanted me to try some water from her bottle:
Em: Have water Mama?
Me: No, I'd better not drink from your bottle, I've got a sore throat.
Em: Who hurt you?
Me: No-one, I'm just not feeling very well.
Em: Got a sore throat?
Me: Yes.
Em: Who hurt you?
Me: No, it's... there are germs in my throat.
Em: Germs hurt you?
Me: Yes.
Em: You got to say "No germs, I don't like it". (pause) Say it Mama.
Me: No germs, I don't like it.
Em: Say "Go away germs"
Me: Go away germs.
Em: All better now?
Me: (laughing) I wish it was as easy as that!
Em: You got a sore throat Mama?
Me: Yes
Em: I see it?
Me: Well, it's on the inside, it's hard to see.
Em: I see it? See the germs? Where's the germs gone?
Me: They're in my throat.
(Em points her water bottle at my neck, presses the button on it, then points it towards the window and does the same)
Em: There you go Mama, germs is all gone now!
Me: Thanks :)

Structure and Agency
1.0 Structure.
There is a beautiful word in Greek: Doxa. One of it's meanings is to 'Reveal', or 'To appear', or 'To place oneself within'. One's Doxa is the world that one is able to reveal oneself. It is the existence that proceeds essence. The Heimat. The place that one can be who they are (or at least appear to be). Ones home. Pierre Bourdieu uses the term to describe the social space where an individual is under goes their socialization process for good or ill. Louis Althusser argued that such a structure could explain the the false consciousness of the lumpen proletariat. The jingoism and working class prejudice. How ever , for myself when I sat at the back of my sociology class. [I am a child of the 1970's so sociology and sociological theory was a standard part of the curricullum) I craved to have that false consciousness, that Doxa, that Heimat.
Such a state of affairs is likely (As Francis Fanon so eloquently argued in the Wretched of the Earth) to cause the alienation and [righteous] indignation of those people who find themselves cast as the 'other'. The Caliban exiled in a strange land. And fall between the gap that separates the real from the representation. As for myself I found in that crack in the real another way of seeing, or I could say, I was compelled to look upon the world which one should take for granted , with a sense of wonder and curiosity. I became an apprenticed to the arts. To that world I was indentured.
2.0 Agency.

PCMA Statement on New IMS Health Drug Spending Report
Apr 14, 2016, 11:45 ET
WASHINGTON, April 14, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Pharmaceutical Care Management Association (PCMA) President and CEO Mark Merritt released the following statement on a new report from the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics, Medicines Use and Spending in the U.S.: A Review of 2015 and Outlook to 2020:
"This report highlights how tools used by pharmacy benefit managers restrain costs for commercial and government payers by increasing competition among drugmakers. This competitive model should be used to root out wasteful spending in unmanaged programs where PBM tools are not widely employed."
PCMA is the national association representing America's pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). PBMs administer prescription drug plans for more than 266 million Americans who have health insurance from a variety of sponsors including: commercial health plans, self-insured employer plans, union plans, Medicare Part D plans, the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP), state government employee plans, managed Medicaid plans, and others.

Our homes are the base from which our entire life is operated but with all the work of living in the twenty-first century, we tend to ignore it and just let it be. Just like anything else if a home it so serve us well we need to put in some love and care and do some things around the house. Here is a list of things that you need to do to your home before the end of this year.
Spring cleaning
Our homes have this way of getting messy no matter how hard we try to keep it clean and as life happens we don't really have the time to clean everything all the time. Because of this keeping, aside from a week or a weekend to do some spring cleaning can be very useful. When you are doing this spring cleaning session you need to get to every small nook and cranny because this is the only chance you'll get. No area is too insignificant to be cleaned.
Servicing all major features
We live in an age where there are a lot of machines in our homes and these machines tend to wear and tear over time but that doesn't mean you have to replace them all. Servicing this equipment is a great way to prolong their life and to save us some money in the long run. Whether it be cleaning your stove or getting a home aircon servicing Singapore make sure to take care of the machines.
Hosting some people
When we are the only people in our homes things tend to get boring and when you have some space to call your own bring in some people and have some fun. Before the year ends host some people at least once. This can be a birthday party, a Christmas party, new year's eve celebration or just a random dinner. There is something very fulfilling about hosting people at home and you will surely have a good time.
This is one of those extra things that can make your life better. Decorating your home will not only make things look good but the process of doing it can be very relaxing. There are a lot of inspiration and easy ways to do this and you need to give it a try.
The things in this list aren't anything weird but they can make a big impact. If you are able to do all of these before the year ends you will truly see a difference.

Q: Assalamu'alaikum,
Hope to find you in good health,my question is can i keep a fast on the day of the death anniversary of my mother.If so then what prayers can i read on that day….as i am a new convert.Jizakallahkahir.
Time: Thursday January 13, 2011 at 1:19 pm
Likewise, I wish you and those around you the best of health as well. May you be blessed for your conversion, Ameen.
- Our Prophet (SAW) also lost people that were very beloved to him (saw) in his lifetime. Being followers of him (saw) we learn that he (saw) did not take part in some of the customs many Muslims currently take part in as it relates to death. Some forbidden customs relate to keeping fasts on specific days, feeding people for 40 days on behalf of the dead, etc.
- To morn the loss of a beloved for more than three days is contrary to religious teachings. We trust that life and death are both from Allah. We thus learn to accept situations even if it is may be difficult to do so. This to brings in rewards.
- One can ask Allah to forgive the one that has passed away while they had been in the state of Islam. For a believer that has passed away, one can perform nafl (supererogatory actions) which may be inclusive of giving charity (sadaqah), reciting Quran, etc. whilst asking Allah to give the deceased the benefits of these rewards.
- Although none of us can guarantee that the reward would reach the ones that have passed away, we trust that Inahsaallah Allah would accept the above actions for the deceased.
Allah Certainly Knows Best.

First, a quiz. How many people attended President Obama's town-hall forum in Vermont?
That would be none. Since becoming president, he hasn't set foot in a state he won by nearly 40 percentage points in November's general election.
But thousands have heard Obama speak in Ohio, North Carolina, Missouri, Indiana and Florida, all among the 16 states he has visited since taking office. In each of those places, his margin of victory or defeat last November was fewer than five percentage points.
As recently as last week, Obama warned that the changes he is seeking in health care, energy policy and financial regulation require "taking on the status quo in Washington." And that, he told an audience of donors who paid as much as $30,400 a couple to see him, "requires the courage to look . . . beyond the next election."
Yet during his first five months in office, public policy and electoral politics have come together seamlessly in his domestic travel itinerary. On nearly every trip he has taken, Obama has followed the timeworn path of presidential travel -- go where the votes matter most.
Even Republicans have offered few complaints about his domestic destinations. Good-government groups demand only that Obama live up to the pledge of transparency he made during his campaign by more openly detailing how the fundraising elements of his trips are accounted for and reimbursed.
But the travel suggests a White House far more interested in electoral politics than its leader and senior staff members publicly acknowledge. The swing-state stops are just one element of a West Wing political operation that has preserved many practices of preceding ones, and that takes into account the dynamics of the 2010 midterm elections and the next presidential race in deciding where to spend Obama's time.
Of the 16 states Obama has visited, nine shifted from the Republican to Democratic column in 2008. Five of the states are among the six that posted the narrowest margins of victory for either Obama or Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), and are likely to remain the most closely divided through the coming campaign cycles.
"It's hard [to look] at a map and not see red, purple and blue states," said Robert Gibbs, Obama's press secretary. "But as the president said famously, people aren't looking for red, blue or purple solutions, only those that will improve their daily lives."
The Obama administration has had a publicly conflicted relationship with the political aspect of governing, despite a White House senior staff and political operation designed to account for public opinion in making decisions. Senior advisers acknowledge privately that policy without political relevance cannot succeed, whereas they insist publicly that this White House is less tethered to political considerations than previous ones.
"Every president keeps his eye on the next election, and all of them have a laser focus on the battleground states because those are the ones that matter," said Darrell M. West, director of governance studies at the Brookings Institution. "Even presidents who claim to be above politics pay attention to polls and the competitive states. Ultimately, they know they have to win elections to carry out what they want to do."
Upon taking office, Obama decided to preserve the position of White House political director; in past administrations, the holders of that position had been criticized for their roles in calibrating policy to electoral calculations. Two of his most influential advisers -- White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, whose experience includes running the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and David Axelrod -- are expert in marrying policy with political message.
Obama has also been involved in recruiting candidates for the U.S. Senate, speaking this month at the White House with Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan to sound her out about running for his old seat. Gibbs said "the White House will not pick a candidate in the race" but acknowledged that "obviously, this president has some interest in the makeup of Congress."
In getting outside the Beltway, something he invariably tells crowds he enjoys, Obama has chosen venues that link policy initiatives to real-world problems. The 16-state count includes Maryland and Virginia, where he has traveled several times on official business and once for burgers with Biden.
In February, Obama held a forum in Elkhart, Ind., which at the time had the nation's highest unemployment rate. There he promoted the need for stimulus legislation to revive the economy. Indiana had voted for Republican presidential candidates for 44 years until Obama won it by just over one percentage point. Gibbs said he picked Elkhart by looking through the Department of Labor Statistics list of unemployment rates, settling on the locale with the highest.
A few weeks later, after his $787 billion stimulus bill had won congressional approval, Obama visited Ohio to explain the economic virtues of the spending plan. Ohio pushed President George W. Bush over the top in 2004, but Obama won the state by fewer than five percentage points. Biden heads there this week.
Obama also traveled to Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, a state he won by less than one-half of one percentage point, to announce his timetable for withdrawing U.S. forces from Iraq. To promote his clean-energy plans, he toured a wind-turbine tower factory in Iowa, a state he took back from the Republicans in 2008 and where the process of choosing the next president will begin again.
"A smart White House is a savvy mix of policy and politics, and in our democracy there's nothing wrong with it," said Ari Fleischer, Bush's first press secretary. "If you're all substance and no politics, you lose support on Capitol Hill. If you're all politics and no substance, you lose support among the people."
Fleischer added: "If people don't like it, they can move from a safe state to a swing state and see their president more."
To Missouri, for example.
With a whole nation to pick from, Obama chose to mark his 100th day in office with a town-hall forum in Arnold, Mo., a suburb of St. Louis. He lost Missouri by just over one-tenth of one percentage point.
But he has also selected politically safe states for their value as an apt backdrop for his policies. This month he traveled to Green Bay, Wis., a state he won easily in 2008, to showcase a local health-care network that is one of the country's most efficient as a way to promote the need for his own plan.
"Regardless of where they are on the political map, these are also among states with the highest unemployment rates," said Gibbs, listing Ohio, Nevada, Indiana and California among other hard-hit states Obama has visited. "The great many of these places we use to highlight the struggle people are going through that give rise to the debate in Washington."
Obama has raised money in California, Indiana and Nevada, and election law calls for the government to be reimbursed for those explicitly political aspects of his travel. The White House calculates that amount and receives reimbursement from party committees or candidate campaign accounts. Those sums are disclosed in campaign finance filings.
Sheila Krumholz, executive director of the nonprofit Center for Responsive Politics, called Obama's travel choices "standard operating procedure."
She said Obama, who campaigned on a pledge to change the ways of Washington, should provide more detail on the cost of political travel and how the reimbursement amounts are set.
"This is a president who harped on transparency in the election," she said. "And this is another opportunity for him to live up to the standard the administration has set for itself."

Portugal's penalty woes have definitely been among the highlights of the 2017 Confederations Cup.
Or should that be the lowlights?
Their performance in the semi-final shoot-out against Chile was - quite literally - as bad it possibly could have been. Ricardo Quaresma, Joao Moutinho and Nani all had their spot kicks saved by Chile keeper Claudio Bravo, as they lost 3-0 on spot-kicks.
To not score a single penalty in a shoot-out is pretty awful. However, remarkably, things from 12 yards have now got even worse for the Portuguese.
Playing in the 'bronze medal match' - the third place play-off against Mexico - Portugal won a penalty in the first half. Andre Silva stepped up, ready to put his side ahead… only to see his spot-kick saved by Mexico keeper Guillermo Ochoa.
That now means that Fernando Santos' side have missed four consecutive penalties.
Quite an achievement.
However, they haven't missed EVERY penalty they have taken at the Confederations Cup. The one they scored? The one Cristiano Ronaldo, who left the tournament after the semi-final, took against New Zealand:
Maybe if Portugal's superstar had taken one in the shoot-out against Chile - rather than waiting to take the all-important fifth penalty - his team mates wouldn't now be in the mother of all penalty slumps.
Anything to say on that, Ronnie?

We live in a world that hates Jesus. No surprises. But as Jesus points out some of that hate will come our way as we follow him. So, how do you and I keep enduring in the face of that opposition? Join us as we check out a great passage where Paul gives some timeless advice to Timothy as he faces hostility.
3 Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. 5 Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor's crown except by competing according to the rules. 6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops. 7 Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel, 9 for which I am suffering even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But God's word is not chained. 10 Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.
11 Here is a trustworthy saying:
If we died with him,
we will also live with him;
12 if we endure,
we will also reign with him.
If we disown him,
he will also disown us;
13 if we are faithless,
he remains faithful,
for he cannot disown himself.

Fuel Your Recovery... What to do When Water Isn't Enough
We all know by now that we need to drink water. A lot of it.
Staying hydrated is essential for the human body to operate on so many levels — from digestion to brain and muscle function. Typically, you can stay hydrated and replenish lost fluids by refueling on fluid and snacks. However, a particularly hard core workout or outing that causes you to sweat buckets will eliminate a larger amount of water and electrolytes than can be replenished with plain water. In other words, I've you've really pushed yourself, the body sometimes can't recover properly with water alone.
So, what to do?
There are tons of well-rounded sports recovery drinks at the supermarket. Opt for a low-sugar option such as the increasingly popular coconut water or try out the natural Recharge brand by Knudsen.
Sweat a lot and forgot to pick up that extra boost from the store?
Electrolytes are basically vitamins and minerals found in the body. This includes potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, and hydrogen carbonate. The good news—all of these elements can be found in common household items, so you can whip up a cheap, post-workout drink at home. And most importantly, help make sure you're properly fueling your recovery.
Homemade Electrolyte Drink
- 1 quart of purified water
- ½ tsp. (a pinch) of natural sea salt
- 1 Tbsp. honey or agave nectar
- Squeeze of fresh lemon
Optional addition:
- ¼ - ½ tsp. (little pinch) baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
- ¼ - ½ tsp. (little pinch) salt substitute (potassium salt)
Shake it up and you are ready to go! Drink before, during, and after a vigorous workout. This homemade drink can also help combat dehydration before or after a long flight and in that hot summer sun.

Dr. Frederick Robert Rubin was called home by his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on February 9, 2019 in Oklahoma City at the age of 80. He was born June 23, 1938 in Boston, MA to Arthur and Lillian Rubin.
After graduating High School in Boston, he attended Boston University where he would earn his undergraduate degree in AB Biology. Influenced as a young man to pursue the field of Dentistry, he then entered Graduate school at Case Western Reserve School of Dentistry, where he would graduate with his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Wanting to specialize in Maxillofacial Surgery, he attended Boston University's School of Graduate Dentistry, and fulfilled his residency at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, Ma and the VA Hospital in East Orange, New Jersey. After the completion of his residency he enlisted in the United States Air Force as a Captain in the Vietnam War.
He later moved to Oklahoma City where he would meet and marry the love of his life, Chrystal Payne on January 12, 1995. God joyfully blessed Fred and Chrystal over 24 years of marriage.
Dr. Rubin's accolades are numerous and included practicing Oral and Maxillofacial surgery for over 40 years. He was a passionate professor for both Rose State College and the University of Oklahoma. He was the medical director for Advanced Cardiac Life Support for 32 years. He was an impressionable motivational speaker, and was an avid member of many organizations including the American Dental Association, the Oklahoma Dental Association, the Board of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery, and the American heart association.
He was selfless and always put others needs above his own. His relationship with the Lord was undeniable and he would never lose an opportunity to witness or pray for a friend or stranger. His love for the Lord and his passion for fellowship led him to be an active member at Brookwood Baptist Church in Oklahoma City.
The most joyful times of his life included quality time with family. The most meaningful, were memories that were made with the ones he loved. He enjoyed traveling, working out, watching sports and attending his sons' hockey games.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced on Friday that the US is suspending its com
pliance of the Intermediate-Range Forces (INF) Treaty with Russia on Saturday and will start a 180-day pr
ocedure to completely withdraw from the arms control accord. In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin said
Russia will also suspend participation in the INF treaty. "They say that they are doing research and testing [new w
eapons] and we will do the same thing," Putin said during a meeting with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu.
Although Washington claimed it would return to compliance of the treaty if Russia verifiab
ly destroys a cruise missile system which the US said was a violation of the treaty, analysts believe such a
turnaround would not happen. Two months ago when the US threatened to pull out of the treaty, it began to bury the accord.
Scrapping the treaty would be the beginning of the collapse of the global arms control system. It's highly likely a new arms race will start.
The arms control agreements reached between the US and the Soviet Union during th
e latter period of the Cold War not only curbed the arms race to a certain extent, but also produced a politi
cal effect that appeased the people. The US withdrawal from the treaty will lead to a grim outlook for the 21st century.

Documentation for Joomlashack Extensions
What Is Shack Article Layouts?
A new breed of Article Layouts
The first thing to know about Shack Article Layouts is its purpose.
Shack Article Layouts is a sort of page builder, utilising the Joomla! core. It is a module that displays articles. This is an important aspect for a couple of reasons.
First off, we at Joomlashack like the design principle of separating presentation and content. A lot of available page builders mix these parts to achieve flexibility when setting up layout designs.
The downside is that it becomes harder for the content writers to administrate the content without disrupting the layout. By having the content in Joomla articles, content writers will have a single, familiar place to work in.
Second, by using Joomla core as much as possible, the website becomes easier to manage and administrate. It is also easier to switch between ways of displaying content within Joomla if everything is located where intended, and any related functionality in Joomla can be utilised as well.
The basics: Selecting articles
There are two basic uses for Shack Article Layouts:
- Setting up single pages with a complex layout and specific content, perhaps a landing page of some sort.
- Creating lightweight structures for repeated pages with a complex layout or intricate relationships.
The former primarily utilises the more static ways in Shack Article Layouts to set up an article selection. For a set of specific articles, just simply select the corresponding article IDs.
For a set of articles from a specific group, use the tag or category settings. Watch this live on our Pixpro Labs Demo site.
The latter instead makes use of the dynamic ways in Shack Article Layouts to set up an article selection. This will utilise data available in the pages and menu items where the module is shown.
With this possibility, the number of modules needed for a repeated page layout is reduced from one set per individual page to one set per page layout, which can greatly reduce the structure needed for a large website. Watch this live on our Pixpro Labs Demo site.
The basics: Setting up a layout
As Shack Article Layouts is a module. Some of the possibilities for a layout come from the template used on the website. This includes module positions and rendering of the modules.
Find a template that is as flexible as possible, without having to be too complicated. A good basic set of module positions and full rendering of the modules within these is all that is needed.
Full rendering refers to things as rendering the module title, using the Advanced parameters for the module and such.
Independent of the type of page that is being created, the procedure is the same.
Divide the page into sub layouts by identifying similarly styled sections of content, and in the case of creating a lightweight structure for repeated pages, identifying the sections with dynamic content.
Depending of the content for the section, each sub layout can now be created with a Shack Article Layouts module. Since the module is able to display multiple articles, sections with multiple blocks of same styled content can be created from a single module and multiple articles.
An example of both these types of pages is our own Pixpro Labs extension pages. These are landing pages of sort, and they are also pages with a repeated layout - one page for each extension.
The image below illustrates a singular Shack Article Layouts module displaying 3 articles in a grid. This module can be used on all the pages by utilising the dynamic article selection in Shack Article Layouts.
The setup works by combining tags and categories, and having IDs for these set in the respective menu item. The best options for this is probably Category Blog and Tagged Items.
To create a clean page for us to build our layout on, we utilise the feature of hiding the system output for these pages. This feature comes with the excellent Yootheme template we use for our website.
The basics: Designing a layout
When the layouts are in place, they need some designing. This can be done in multiple steps, varying from super easy to a bit more difficult, depending on the coding skills available.
First off, the content that is to be displayed is chosen from within each Shack Article Layouts module by selecting the corresponding options on the Display Options tab.
This tab is made as comprehensive as possible, while still having a great user experience. The available options displayed are altered by each choice made, so that only the options that actually will have an effect are shown.
When all the content is in place, the sub layout is chosen by selecting a corresponding Alternative Layout under the Advanced tab. There are a couple of layout templates available already, except for the default one, that uses the UIkit framework included in templates from Yootheme.
It is also possible to create new alternative layouts by editing the default template. Basically, the only thing needed for this is to copy the default.php and default_items.php files, rename them and then edit the HTML in the default_items.php file. The file is very developer friendly with commented sections and clean code.
A more accessible way of making minor changes to the layout is to use the options available under the Advanced tab. Again, only options that will have an effect are shown.
The options available are selecting the tag for each element in the layout and adding CSS classes to them. This can greatly modify the way the finished result looks like, and will lessen the need for super specific Alternative Layouts. Watch this live on our Pixpro Labs Demo site.
