Visions of the Future Vol 1
From DocuWiki
[edit] General Information
Technology Documentary published by CBC broadcasted as part of CBC The Nature of Things series in 2009 - English narration
[edit] Cover
[edit] Information
This first-ever Nature of Things box set includes five outstanding documentaries that focus on how people are working to change the way they live and the way they think about the future of our world. Watch as they explore traditional and futuristic ways to reduce our carbon footprint and society's impact on the environment, helping to find solutions and create a sustainable future.
[edit] The Suzuki Diaries
The Suzuki Diaries is a road trip, a travelogue, an adventure. The legendary David Suzuki and his youngest daughter Sarika, a university student about to start her own career in the sciences, are full of hope as they travel to Europe to see what sustainability truly looks like.
In Germany, Denmark, France and Spain, they set out to meet the people working to restore the equilibrium between human needs and planetary limits. They find a renewable energy expert, a biodynamic farmer and writer, a blogging bike enthusiast, two meticulous industrial designers, and a political powerhouse in the green movement. What they discover is that sustainability can be built into the fabric of contemporary life, not just by environmentalists but by anyone, across the full spectrum of society. The idea, innovations and inspiring individuals David and Sarika encounter prove that sustainability does not mean sacrificing quality of life.
The Suzuki Diaries illustrates what is truly possible if humans have the will.
[edit] Supercar: Building the Car of the Future
We've come a long way since the first "horseless carriages" began to transform not just how we get from one place to another, but also how we think about transportation, urbanization, city-planning and personal mobility in general. With rising fuel prices and growing environmental concerns, never before has it been so urgent to imagine what next year's model might look like. But there is hope. All over the world there are people trying to figure out how to build an environmentally and socially sound version of the car.
Join engineering professor Brian Fleck on a quest to meet the engineers, designers and even students working on new technologies to make this possible. From hydrogen-powered family sedans to high end fully-electric powered sports cars, and even cars that drive themselves, you'll find plenty of surprises. Perhaps the future is not so far off as we might think — the technology that will transform our societies tomorrow is being developed today. The question is, are we ready?
[edit] Living City: A Critical Guide
Despite Canada's overwhelming urban demographic, Canadian cities struggle to provide the services expected of them, whether that means collecting garbage and fixing potholes or running schools and public transit systems. Award-winning urban affairs columnist Christopher Hume takes a cross-country journey from Halifax to Vancouver and gives the viewer a firsthand look at what's wrong with Canada's aging infrastructure and overall lack of political will.
[edit] Build Green
Do you remember the children's tale, "Three Little Pigs?" Build a strong house made out of bricks and mortar, and you'll be safe from the big, bad wolf. Build Green is here to show audiences that a house built from sticks and straw is better protection from the elements, and it mitigates your personal impact on global climate change.
In a refreshing hour, Build Green advises making the sun, wind and rain — along with dirt, straw and sewage — your friends. By building a house using innovative practices and materials, you'll not only do the earth a favour, but you could save big bucks too.
In Build Green, Canada's best architects hype their green creations. From retro-fitting a hip, old Montreal housing complex with state-of-the-art sustainable energy systems, to pitching hay for strawbale houses, to building transportable "mini-homes" with their own small power plant, take a close look at the materials and means we can all adopt for building green homes.
[edit] Earth Energy
Filmmaker Bill Lishman journeys around the world in search of earth's renewable energy. He discovers Canada's rich history of hydroelectric production, finds the world's largest solar power plant in the Mojave Desert and makes the discovery that 25% of Denmark's electricity is produced with wind turbines. Lishman explores North America's wealth of renewable resources and looks at ways other countries are harnessing earth energy in clean, safe methods.

One cup of quinoa has more calcium than a quart of milk and has twice the protein of barley or rice.
• 2 cups quinoa
• 4 cups filtered water
• pinch of salt
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 med onion, diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 2 broccoli stalks, in bite sized pieces
• ½ cup sunflower seeds, toasted
• ¼ cup flaxseed oil
• ¼ cup brewer's yeast
• 1 tbsp tahini
• 1 tsp mellow miso
• 1 tbsp tamari
First rinse the quinoa to remove the bitter coating, check the packaging as some quinoa has already been rised. Then add quinoa, water, and salt to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook for about 20 minutes or until little rings seem to be coming out of the grain.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a skillet and sauté onion, garlic, carrots and broccoli until tender. In a separate bowl, mix dressing ingredients and blend well.
When quinoa is tender and rings are visible, drain any extra water and combine all ingredients. Toss and serve. It is great hot or cold.

Figure 86: Sample Excerpt from James D. Murphy's Business Text (Whole Form)
|As a fighter pilot, I care very much about the overall objectives laid out by the general officers of the United States Air Force. . . . But I don't operate in a generalized world. My world is very specific. I'm an F-15 air superiority fighter pilot. I don't drop bombs. I don't have a thirty-millimeter tank-killing gun like the A-10. . . . I do one thing well, and that's provide air cover for ingressing bombers by taking out airborne threats. I do not operate under the same rules as an F-117 Stealth pilot, or an F-16 pilot. My mission objective is very specific, tied totally to my individual capability and my training.As such, it's imperative that the mission I'm assigned is specific and precise, not vague or general. Imagine if I went up in the air with only the following orders: 'Murphy, your objective is to kick Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait. Good luck—let's go kick some ass.' It's okay for Norman Schwarzkopf to say that; in fact, that's what he's supposed to say.
His job is to establish an overall objective for the troops, and to do it in such a way that all participants understand it and get behind it. He probably doesn't even know how I do what I do. But he doesn't need to know. He simply needs to lay out a straightforward overall objective that can be divided into manageable parts that, when activated, will lead inexorably to the achievement of his objective.
How does this happen? The military command structure underneath Schwarzkopf has to take his general vision and push it down through the ranks and into the cockpits, subs, and trenches—where it is presented not as a vision, but as a mission. Directly underneath Schwarzkopf, the brigadier generals break the vision down into its individual parts—the Army does this, the Air Force does that, and so on. Next, the commanding generals evaluate their individual assets and create an overall operations plan. This called the frag, short for fragmentary order, the overall battle plan broken down into the relevant parts. The bombers, fighters, and ground forces are all commanded to converge on a certain target at a certain time and in a certain sequence.
One level down, other officers convert the frag into even smaller parts. The 1st Fighter Wing and its F-15s do this; the F-117 guys from Holliman do that. The KC-10s will be waiting to give gas here, the A-10s will attack tanks there.
Yet another level down, wing commanders divide the frag again. For example, they might decide that twelve F-15s will be responsible for providing air cover over a specific piece of ground, so that thirty-six bombers can come in under them and pound enemy targets that our ground troops will then secure.
With the group objective stated for the F-15s, the individual flight leaders, who might be young captains or lieutenants, will look at the airspace they need to sanitize and organize the F-15s with altitude blocks and lanes of responsibility so that we can absolutely, positively do our job—which is to make certain no one hops on the tails of the bombers.
At this point Schwarzkopf's vision has become a mission for me, the individual pilot. I don't set my sights on something as personally unattainable as kicking Iraqis out of Kuwait, but I am ready to give my life to protect an important lane of airspace with my F-15. I'm ready to give my life in the execution of a clear, measurable, attainable mission that supports the overall vision of my commander. . . .
How often do companies ask their employees to execute their jobs under the banner of a 'mission statement' or a generalized corporate goal? A mission statement is fine, but like an overall objective, it isn't specific enough to lead anybody anywhere. Mission statements aren't marching orders. They sound good, they make sense, but they have zero effect until the organization breaks them down into finer and finer pieces, from rank to rank, presented clearly to each and every employee as a specific task with a measurable outcome that is his and his alone to perform. . . .
Like the Air Force, your company should use its command structure to filter a general vision down to the level of the individual employee. And it shouldn't be a great leap from the general vision to the individual missions, either. There should be a logical, sequential breakdown of the vision, so that each group can responsibly accomplish its human-scale goals.

RTO & RPO are vital parameters for making a BC/DR plan, as they allow us to determine the maximum amount of time that is able to pass before a situation becomes critical and is no longer considered to be contained. These help to guide business when making decisions that will formulate their plan B backup.
For example, if a business can only be down for 8 hours before reaching their maximum RTO & RPO, it is essential that processes are put in place that allow them to continue operations within that 8-hour time frame. If the current contingency plan exceeds this, alternative BC/DR solutions must be found.
The differences between RTO & RPO
There is a common Mnemonic tool that helps to differentiate between these 2 terms.
- RTO: Recovery Time Objective / RT = real time
- RPO: Recovery Point Objective / RP = re-write parameters
RTORecovery Time Objective outlines the maximum amount of time that can pass before a business begins to face serious consequences as a result of a disaster. It measures how quickly workloads can be restored from a backup. In cases where data is saved and backed up instantly, the RTO can be as small as a few seconds. RTO's can also be determined by points in time, for example end of working hours, or end of week. This can also vary according to seasonal changes. (down time in a peak month will have a smaller RTO as the losses are greater). By prioirtising your business processes, you can also prioritise resources accordingly.
RPORecovery Point Objective is the maximum amount of data that can be lost during downtime before putting the business into a critical state. Each backup taken of your data is a recovery point. If you back up your data on an hourly basis, then the RPO is 60 minutes, meaning that in the worst-case scenario, rolling back to the last backup represents 60 minutes of lost data. This is assuming that they are stored instantaneously. If back ups take 15 minutes, then this is added to the RPO making the full time 1h 15.
It is important to note also, that there are differences between the occurrence of a disaster and the discovery of a disaster. Most BC/DR plans will accommodate to the latter, as nothing can be done in this time frame.
How RPO & RTO help BC/DR planning
Let's use the above example. Assume the RPO is 1hr 15mins, and the RTO is 24 hours. That gives your business a window of 22hrs 45 mins in which to re-establish data and continue with business as usual. Considering that most businesses operate on 8-hour days, this is plenty of time to recover data from the most recent backup.
How to calculate RTO & RTOThe most effective way to calculate your RTO & RPO is to conduct a business impact analysis. This will not only look at timings and loss of data, but also revenue, property, equipment and personnel. By predicting the consequences in the event of a disaster, business can not only take steps to prevent and protect against disasters, but also ensure continuity of customer experience, staff safety and comfort with minimal loss.
What can affect RTO & RPO?While there are many factors that will affect the overall BC/ DR plan such as the size of company, personnel, location and equipment, when dealing strictly with data, this is reliant upon how and where the data is stored, backed up and recovered. In some extreme cases, data may need to be physically couriered from the back up location, however it is far more likely these days that your backups will be cloud managed, if this is the case, the data will need to be downloaded to a secure device before it can be restored. Even when the backups are on site, there can be delays when uploading data to the production environment.
Well there you have it, a bite size guide to RTO & RPO in a nutshell. To find out more about planning for BC/DR, check out our ultimate guide here, or contact us to find out more about the BC/DR solutions we provide, the value of having a BC/DR plan and advice on business impact analysis.
TLDR (Too Long Didn't Read)
- Recovery Point Objective (RPO) refers to the point in time in the past to which you will recover.
- Recovery Time Objective (RTO) refers to the point in time in the future at which you will be up and running again.
- To determine RTO & RPO, conduct a business impact analysis. This will allow you to priorities processes and choose the best BC/DR solutions.
- Consider where and how your data is stored to minimise RPO needed and maximise RTO.

Wilhelm Grimm: [cutting him off] Jacob. Just tell them...
Wilhelm Grimm: Just tell them I'm your brother.
Children: [chanting over and over] We want a story! We want a story! We want a story! We want a story!
Jacob Grimm: [to Wilhelm] Just tell them I'm your brother.
Wilhelm Grimm: [final line] Once upon a time
Wilhelm Grimm: there were two brothers!
The King: I have discovered a new musical instrument which I thought might amuse you.
Ludwig: As ruler of half your kingdom, I think it my duty to tell you that I simply loathe music.
The King: [Pointedly] As ruler of the other half, I suspect that you may change your mind. Shepherd, would you play us a tune?
Voice of Flute: [the Shepherd plays and this song is heard] O King, pray listen to my tale./ I sleep beneath the tree./ My master Ludwig raised his sword/ And drove it into me./ I'll never walk the earth again/ Or hear a bird or plant a seed/ Till the man who slew me says he's sorry for the deed.
The King: [angrily] Well, Sir Ludwig?
Hans: Don't you worry, sir. I'll be just as good a master to you as you were to me.

Functionalist house by the sea with the 'right' colour
They found Tar vitriol by chance on the internet. Now, the owner of the home Niklas Jacobsson and his family enjoy the fine grey façade of their architect-designed house in Näset. And the response from friends, neighbours and passers-by is uniformly positive.
"We discovered tar vitriol quite by accident when we were googling for a product similar to iron vitriol, but which provided better protection for the wood. We have received lots of feedback and an extremely positive response from friends, neighbours and passers-by – when it comes to both the appearance and the amazing tar smell," says Niklas Jacobsson.
Façade a critical part of the house's character
The house, built in 2016, is close to both the nature and the sea. Niklas and Ulrika decided to hire the architect Christer Wennerholm when they realised that an 'off the shelf' building would not live up to their requirements. The fact that the plot is located in on a south-west facing slope and was quite demanding to work on also contributed to the decision.
"The façade itself was important for us because it stands for a large part of the building's character. During the construction process, we decided early on that we wanted to have the standing panels typical of functionalist buildings. But after that we spent many hours and long walks trying to find houses with the 'right' colour. We are very pleased that we found Pine vitriol."
"Fantastic that we didn't have to prime"
Niklas and Ulrika painted each plank by hand before they were nailed in place. The first coat accounted for about 90 litres of Pine vitriol.
"The look was number one for us, with the nice grey colour. But it was fantastic that we didn't have to prime, and a definite plus to work with a natural product."

'ISIS want a civil war'
Mary fitzgerald reports from Paris on the mood after the worst attacks in France since World War II. She warns that a surge in anti-Muslim sentiment could play into the hands of the terrorists, and talks to a former ISIS captive who saw the jihadists up close
Few people have experienced the brutality of ISIS up close and lived to tell the tale as Nicolas Henin has done. The French journalist was held hostage by ISIS for 10 months before being released, along with a number of compatriots, in April last year. Several of his fellow hostages, including American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, were later killed by their captors, their beheadings filmed in what has now become an all too familiar part of ISIS propaganda. One of Henin's jailers was the infamous Mohammed Emwazi, known as Jihadi John, believed to have been killed in a recent US drone strike in Syria.
Last Friday week, ISIS came to Paris, the city Henin grew up in and still calls home. Targeting Parisians who were kicking off their weekend attending a France-Germany game at a football stadium, or watching a Californian heavy metal band perform, or eating at a restaurant, the ISIS militants killed 129 people in coordinated attacks. At least 350 people were also wounded, with scores of people still critically injured. France has been reeling since.
Henin, who recently published a book on ISIS titled Jihad Academy, has spent the past week cautioning his compatriots against falling into a trap set by what he describes as "street kids drunk on ideology and power" who are convinced of an apocalyptic confrontation between Muslims and others.
"With their news and social media interest, they will be noting everything that follows their murderous assault on Paris, and my guess is that right now the chant among them will be 'We are winning'. They will be heartened by every sign of overreaction, of division, of fear, of racism, of xenophobia," he wrote.
"Central to their world view is the belief that communities cannot live together with Muslims, and every day their antennae will be tuned towards finding supporting evidence. The pictures from Germany of people welcoming migrants will have been particularly troubling to them. Cohesion, tolerance - it is not what they want to see."
As the contours of the attacks on Paris become clearer and French security services continue to pursue those believed to have orchestrated them, one thing is certain: their objective was to plant discord in an already brittle society and to provoke a retaliatory response that would bolster ISIS's narrative of persecution.
France was already trying to deal with the fallout from a series of attacks in the capital earlier this year when militants killed 17 people in raids on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and a kosher supermarket. In the immediate aftermath of those attacks, there were mass public rallies across France and appeals for solidarity and unity.
But the public mood in the months since had taken on a darker tone. In France's second city, Marseille, where I live, members of the far-right National Front have tried to exploit the tragedy to whip up anti-Muslim feeling in a city which is home to one of the country's largest Muslim populations.
Despite all the calls for people not to conflate the actions of a small band of extremist murderers with Islam more generally, a slight but unmistakable "us versus them" sentiment began creeping into public discourse in France.
It was noticeable that no grand public appeals for solidarity have followed the attacks of last week. There have been no large demonstrations, only the sense of a nation knocked sideways. Newspaper headlines reflected what appeared to be a hardening of the public mood. "This time, it is war," was a common theme.
Many French Muslims - estimated, at around five million strong, to be Europe's largest Muslim population - are fearful as the National Front and its supporters see opportunity. In the weeks following the Charlie Hebdo attacks, France's National Observatory Against Islamophobia saw a 281pc increase in anti-Muslim incidents compared to the previous year.
Last weekend a Moroccan was beaten up during an anti-immigration rally by extreme-right youths in Brittany. Mosques have been vandalised in Paris and other parts of the country. Jean-Pierre Filiu, an expert on the Middle East and Islam, told France-Inter radio that what ISIS wanted "is that today in Paris and in France, Muslims are killed in reprisal. They want a civil war in France".
Several Muslims died in the attacks of last Friday week, among them a violinist, an architect, a receptionist and a shop assistant. Another pulled two injured women to safety as the street outside the restaurant he worked in was raked in gunfire.
A video condemning the attacks, which was produced by a group of French Muslim students, has been shared on social media.
"They invoke the Quran, and quote its verses," the video voiceover intones as the students hold signs bearing the hashtag #NousSommesUnis ('We are united'). "But shedding the blood of an innocent has no justification, not in Islam or anywhere." The voiceover continues: "They wanted France to be weak. They made our French hearts strong."
Khadija, a Muslim student who lives in Paris, is worried about a spike in anti-Muslim feeling as France tries to come to terms with what happened this month.
"The worst thing that could happen is that people think these killers represent something more than their twisted ideology," she says. "ISIS has killed more Muslims than non-Muslims in places like Syria and Iraq. Just days before the Paris attacks they killed more than 40 people in Beirut. They are everyone's enemy and we need to fight them together, not allow them to divide us. That is exactly what they want to see."
All five identified perpetrators of the attacks in Paris are EU citizens. They are among the thousands of Europeans who have joined the ranks of ISIS, many of whom have blooded themselves in Syria and Iraq before returning home. Most of the attackers were French.
"We know, and it is cruel to say it, that on Friday it was French who killed other French," President François Hollande told a rare joint emergency session of parliament last Monday. "There are, living on our soil, individuals who from delinquency go on to radicalisation and then to terrorist criminality."
Such rhetoric, with its undertones of "the enemy within", makes many in France uneasy, seeing in it soft echoes of the language used by the far-right, which hopes to make gains in forthcoming regional elections.
Officials have been calling for closer monitoring of mosques, extending the state of emergency and imposing restrictions on the 10,000 or more people classified as potential threats to state security. With distrust, and sometimes even hostility, growing, France finds itself pulled in different directions.
"There has been a definite hardening on all levels. You can hear it, you can feel it," says Jean-Louis, a clerical worker in Paris. "But the problem is this will feed the National Front. In my view the National Front and the extremists need each other to reinforce their own message. We must resist this."
Nicolas Henin, who opposed the French bombardment of locations in Syria associated with ISIS, including the town of Raqqa, that followed the Paris attacks, argues that while revenge was perhaps inevitable, what is needed is deliberation.
"My fear is that this reaction will make a bad situation worse," he says. "There is much we can achieve in the aftermath of this atrocity, and the key is strong hearts and resilience, for that is what they fear. I know them: bombing they expect. What they fear is unity."

The holidays are the perfect time to take some time to read a number of newsletters that you subscribe to but never get the chance to. It's no surprise that we're fans of Pressed Juicery and in addition to their emails that share upcoming flavors that are available, we look forward to their blog, The Chalkboard Mag which shares a number of finds in the wellness space.
We were introduced to a phenomenal pasta artist who uses a number natural veggies to die the colors of her medium. Check out the original article here on TCM. This whimsical artists' Instagram is so colorful and there are many ways that she shares her talent via @SaltySeattle. Like many that embark on a journey, Linda Miller Nicholson realized that her toddler wasn't a fan of vegetables so she hid it within the pasta. She uses a number of 100% natural dyes which include turmeric, beets, spices, beets and more! The amount of designs and classic pasta shapes that she has made are astounding! We definitely need to check her out the next time we're in Seattle.

Welcome to Doug's Fundraising Page!!
Thanks for stopping by and considering me! As someone who's been around fighting this battle BEFORE they even had an AIDS walk, you already know how this has affected and continues to affect my life. This year, recovering from a totally unexpected triple bypass in April, the fact that I'm breathing let alone planning to walk is nothing short of miraculous. It's been an "accidental career", but my passion for the people and my anger against this virus continues to grow as I keep on keepin' on. As a community direct participant our team receives back 90% of every penny we raise.
I deeply appreciate everyone that's helped in the past and the folks who continue to assist us!
Your donation to the AIDS Run & Walk Chicago allows people affected by HIV/AIDS to live with dignity and purpose. Your support helps the AIDS Foundation and it's community partners continue their important work in the city of Chicago.
Much peace and love!

In the fall of 2010, 11 seconds of out-of-context imagery brought the name of poet, author, visual artist and AIDS activist David Wojnarowicz back into North American consciousness.
The occasion was the removal of an excerpt of Wojnarowicz's video work A Fire in My Belly from the Smithsonian Institution's retrospective Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture. The Catholic League misinterpreted a sequence showing ants crawling over a crucifix as blasphemous and raised the reactionary alarm. The group's lobbying resulted in the removal of the work from the exhibition.
It's highly doubtful that Wojnarowicz's censorious detractors saw the complete work — or, for that matter, were even able to pronounce the artist's last name.
The Hide/Seek affair serves as a fitting curtain-raiser for journalist and author Cynthia Carr's magnificently researched new biography, Fire in the Belly. Through 600 pages of fascinating and stylish prose, this weighty tome argues heroically for Wojnarowicz's place in the canon of late-20th-century American artists.
Carr covers Wojnarowicz's tumultuous childhood, his years as a street hustler in New York City, the burgeoning success of the East Village art boom of the 1980s, and the artist's final years as one of the moral centres of the AIDS crisis.
She draws on extensive interviews with Wojnarowicz's family and friends, as well as his diaries and autobiographical works to construct her narrative. "What David did when he started talking about this life," she says, "was to create a kind of myth as a sort of cloak [which] was a way to hide."
Carr — who spent five years writing Fire in the Belly, including a marathon final year-and-a-half in which she paused only to observe Christmas Day — manages the tricky feat of separating Wojnarowicz's self-generated mythos from the artist's lived history. What emerges is a nuanced portrait of a complex, often infuriating, always compelling and intensely passionate artist.
For Carr, Wojnarowicz's self-mythologizing was an attempt to pare down his life in order "to create this persona of the tough ex-hustler." Though according to Carr, who knew Wojnarowicz personally, "David was not that way. He wasn't a tough guy in his dealings with people; he was actually pretty sensitive."
One of Carr's early revelations was that "David did not understand the pathos in his own story," and consequently, "he hid things that he didn't need to hide, and he felt that if people knew the truth about him, people wouldn't like him." To Carr, "the central struggle in his life was about how much he could reveal."
Fire in the Belly also recounts Wojnarowicz's long tour of duty in the culture wars of the 1980s — specifically, his battle with arch-conservative demagogue Jesse Helms.
Helms, a Republican senator and virulent homophobe, proposed legislation that sought to prohibit the National Endowment for the Arts from funding artists who "promote, disseminate or produce obscene or indecent materials." Wojnarowicz's explicit, uncompromising work often led him into the crosshairs of the Helms-led war against the NEA, an organization that supported some of the most marginalized, and ulti-mately iconic, artistic voices of the era.
At the end of his life, Wojnarowicz contracted AIDS, which would eventually lead to his death in July of 1992. Although, according to Carr, he never wished to be viewed as an "AIDS artist," Wojnarowicz's ferocious political works — his searing memoirs, large-scale multimedia collage work, photography, performance art and films — remain some of the most stirring artistic artifacts of the AIDS crisis.
"I think by the end of his life," Carr says, "he was a figure with a kind of moral authority," and, she adds, "I think he's very heroic."
With Fire in the Belly, Cynthia Carr has erected a proud testament to the enduring power of David Wojnarowicz's intellectual and emotional honesty, howling rage and brazen heroism.

Well this post comes with very best wishes for the New Year. Just where did those last 2 weeks go to? We enjoyed some wonderfully rich and meaningful services over Christmas but as usual that special moment just after midnight on Christmas morning as we light that central candle was perhaps the most special of all.
The first event of the new year was our new Desert Soul group on Wednesday 3rd January at Tewkesbury MC. So many turned up that I was thinking of moving from the Guild room into the church and it is possible that we may well make that move anyway for the next one as I think it might just be a better space for this particular meeting. The next Desert Soul will be on Wednesday 17th at 3.00pm.
As I write this I am just putting the finishing touches to the Covenant service which we will be holding throughout the section in January with the first one being at Tewkesbury MC tomorrow morning. We look forward to seeing you if you are able to come.
Other events in January include the week for Christian Unity which we will be celebrating on 28th in both Hartpury at 3.00pm at the anglican church and in Tewkesbury at 6.30 at Holy Trinity Church. Hartpury Churches will also host a quiet day led by myself and Reverend John Longuet Higgins on Thursday 25th January between 10.00 and 3.00 at Rudford Church and 'School Room', if you would like to come let me know. Also as part of the week of Christian Unity programme I will be leading a group on 18th January at Tewkesbury MC at 12.00 where we will be working with the material produced for Christian unity week. I will publish the details of the full programme shortly.
So, there we are a quick catch up for now and a picture of the weather that saw many of our services cancelled in December and I understand we may have more to look forward in the coming weeks. Keep warm. Blessings, Jayne

The Who hits 50 in Seattle
The Who are coming to Seattle's KeyArena on Sept. 27.
The stop is on the second leg of their "The Who Hits 50!" North American tour which kicks off today (April 15) in Tampa, Florida.
The band said the tour will include their final shows in many of the tour cities.
"I do know this is the last big tour we'll ever do. We have to be realistic. I want us to stop at the top of our game when we are still really good at what we do. The quality of the music is really what this is all about," Roger Daltrey told RollingStone.com.
"The Who Hits 50!" tour includes 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Joan Jett & The Blackhearts.
Tickets are currently on sale at thewho.com and axs.com.
Here's more from the announcement:
The Who have sold over 100 million records since forming in 1964; they brought together four different personalities and in effect produced a musical hurricane. Each of them was a pioneer. Wildman drummer Keith Moon beat his kit with a chaotic elegance; stoic bassist John Entwistle held down the center with the melodic virtuosity of a solo guitarist; raging intellectual Pete Townshend punctuated the epic universality of his songs with the windmill slamming of his fingers across his guitar strings; and Roger Daltrey roared above it all with an impossibly virile macho swagger. They exploded conventional rhythm and blues structures, challenged pop music conventions, and redefined what was possible on stage, in the recording studio, and on vinyl. As they enter their 50th year, the band is still going strong, winning rave reviews for their performances of Quadrophenia in 2013.

As a practicing "green builder" (I prefer the term socio-environmentally responsible builder) I find LEED to be somewhat of a scam because you can buy your way into a certification, and because it is a privately run and developed cert. For example, you can build a 4000 sq. ft. vacation home that will be used by an average of four people for three months out of the year and offset that by installing expensive photovoltaic and ground-source-heat-pump equipment, and xeriscapic plants, but you don't get extra credit for building a 400 sq. ft. home that comfortably houses two people year-round. You have to weigh the cost of obtaining the cert against the status/ value that it could POTENTIALLY add to your home, IF the the potential buyer cares about such things...
Can an existing home be eligible for LEED Certification? Answered
My home was built in the early 80's and I've made several environmentally-inspired improvements since I bought it - compost, rainwater harvesting, Energy-Star Appliances, insulatiion, low VOC paint and a 47 panel solar PV system. I've been looking on the Green Building Council's website to see, but all I can find is info on new construction. All I really wanted to do is see if there was a list of possible improvements that can be made on existing residential homes (and possibly the point rating) so I could know if I'm even in the ballpark to meet the LEED certification requirements. I checked into this a few years ago, but with this new 2009 LEED v3.0 it looks like they dropped anything to do with existing residential homes, or maybe I'm just not looking in the right place. So, has anybody else looked into this? Is anybody here familiar with where I can find this information? I want to see what it's like before I register and get inspected so I can tell whether or not it is worth the effort right now.
I think you've got it. I interpreted "Existing Buildings" to mean "Existing Commercial Buildings, but the checklist looks right. Thanks!

Work begins on 'lasting tribute' to 1916 leaders
Work has begun on the Moore Street commemorative centre, which will be a "lasting tribute" to the leaders of the 1916 Rising.
Builders have moved in to numbers 14 to 17, and the project is expected to be completed next year.
"Once finished, the new Commemorative Centre will act as a lasting tribute to the 1916 Leaders, allowing people to step back in time to the dramatic final moments of the Rising," Heritage Minister Heather Humphreys said.
The buildings acted as the final headquarters for the leaders of the Easter Rising and played a significant role in the history-making event.
Some €4m has been allocated to restoring the buildings to their 1916 condition.
Members of the public will be able to access the site during Easter week, Ms Humphreys said.
The firm behind the restoration of Kilmainham Courthouse will lead the project.
John Connolly, a grandson of one of the Rising leader's, James Connolly, welcomed the news.
Mr Connolly, who is a member of the Save No 16 Moore Street committee, noted that the centre was the result of a 12-year-long campaign.
"The result here is greater than our wildest dreams," John Conway, secretary of the committee, told the Irish Independent.
The committee was formed to campaign for the restoration and protection of the site due to its historical significance.
"We feel that the minister and the Government have struck the right balance between the need to conserve and the need to regenerate the northern end of the city," said Mr Conway.
"It promises to be a vibrant and lively historical monument."
When completed, the commemorative centre will be an important part of a new historic trail through the capital that will include a multi-million euro visitors' centre at the GPO on O'Connell Street.

Now and again my Kindle Paperwhite will turn down the screen brightness of its own accord. This never happens when it's in use, but, for example, if I shut the Kindle overnight and open up the next morning the brightness will have been turned down. Sometimes it's turned so low that I can barely see the options to select to turn the brightness back up.

Any ideas?

I officially have one more year left on my current contract with the Army National Guard. Overall, the experience has been great for me. I've enjoyed the challenges, and the opportunities this path gave me, but now I really have to start thinking do I want to stay in or do I want to get out.
The tempo in my life is starting to pick up fast. I will be getting my masters degree this year, and the university been working me harder than ever. A lot of the time I feel so burnt out, so now I'm looking to cut out some things in my life and the Army is one of those options. The Guard is no more just a weekend a month, two weeks out of the year. There's so much orders and other work going on in between drills, it's crazy. I believe the only way I would stay in the guard is if I pursued to be aviation officer. I honestly had no time to work on. That because I've been so busy.
In the end, I'm sure everything will balance out and I'll be where I'm suppose to be at the end of the day. Until then I just gotta keep grinding.

If you're going through the hectic days of wedding ceremony planning, it's necessary to be organized and know exactly what you want. I know I may have performed a A LOT better job if I had the chance to comply with these very helpful tips – particularly preparation and planning (and flat shoes) – and two cameras – I used to be switching between two lenses all night time. I have taken a number of images classes through which a wedding photography class was also offered and I chose to attend.
At the reception I was apprehensive that I wasn't getting the candid shots however after a while people mingled more and loosened up. I used to be stressed however am proud of the results. Got an awesome digital camera from and thanks to this article, I had great success with my first wedding shoot.
If you do not shoot with this digicam frequently I'd counsel you inform the Bride and Groom to stroll down the isle unrecorded. While you see quite a lot of images posted and read the constructive critique from others, you'll learn to interrupt down into the fundamental elements what it is that makes a picture go from good to improbable.
It is going to be good to see the same article, but for using drones at weddings. The very best man cannot discover the ring, the rain pours down just as the ceremony ends, the groom forgets to do up his fly, the flower woman decides to sit down down in the course of the aisle or the bride cannot keep in mind her vows….
As issues get rolling and the pressure is on solely burned in expertise will prevent from memory could go effectively, however there may be alot to factor into this that may let it go ary. The only thing is, his images had been rather plain, there wasn't much of a creative contact to it. People went to him as a result of he had a protracted history in images.

6 Ladies, 5 kayaks, 4 days... one amazing trip.
Monday morning our crew of six ladies set out to circumnavigate Gambier Island, nestled in the middle of Howe Sound. Thanks to our wonderfully experienced guide for organizing and keeping us all in tip top shape, and MEC for making the trip possible.
Our trip started out in Horseshoe bay as we road the ferry across to Langdale. There we unpacked our Uhaul, launched the boats and set out. Our first day our was blissfully sunny with calm waters. We paddled from dock to dock around the island jumping into the water as if it were a lake. The water was warm, and everything felt dreamy. As much as I would have liked to have taken photos of everything for the most part my camera lived inside a dry bag, tucked away nice and safely from the seawater. This time around all of my shots are from land only - on the plus side my camera is alive and well - no complaints!
Our first campsite was at Doug Bay on the North East of the island. A roaring fire kept us warm, classic camp food and s'mores filled are bellies and we all passed out before the stars even had the chance to come out. I crawled out of our tent in the middle of the night and caught the sight of the still water and stars - it was incredible.
We spent our second day hiking up to Gambier Lake where we set up camp. A couple of the more adventurous in the crew set up hammocks (one so high up you had to climb the tree first) or slept cowboy style on the ground. I stuck with the comfort of a tent. Up at the lake we enjoyed swimming in some fresh water and ridding ourselves of our salty sheen and staring at/playing with the hundreds of newts found in the water.
Day three saw us hike back down to Doug Bay and jump back in the boats for our next camp site...after visiting some freezing pools and having a siesta after lunch of course. This time the water was a bit rougher and the end of the paddling day had me a little freaked out. This trip being my first time out in a sea kayak ever, I was pushing hard to keep my head up mentally more than anything else - it was a little scary but very invigorating.
Our last day on the water turned out to be the same, if not even more challenging. The waves were choppier, the weather was up and down between sunshine and spits of rain. At one point I half jokingly and half sincerely thought to myself " Who is my emergency contact? Who's going to be getting a phone call today?" In the end everything went by smoothly - even if the water wasn't. As we neared Langdale we ended up having to race the Ferry to the dock in order to get out of the way of the boat and its wake. It was quite the time and an amazing sight to see us all paddle our hearts out trying to beat it to our dock.
Once we emptied our boats and hauled them up the dock to the parking lot we realized our Uhaul's battery had died - what's an adventure without some hiccups right? Everything went our way - pretty magically actually, and our truck was boosted right on time. With the speed at which we paddled we still had time to eat and sit in the sun before getting on the ferry home.
It was an awesome trip with a great crew of ladies. Some of us were new to kayaking, or had never done an overnight camping trip ever - but you wouldn't have guest it. All six of us seemed completely in our elements and at ease, with each other and with our surroundings. We had the island to ourselves, not once bumping in to any other campers or adventurers. What an experience.
It was so great to witness all of us empowered, not fearful in the slightest (okay, I may be the exception to that when the waves were nutty) just happy to take on the next challenges. When I arrived back in Vancouver I had an email waiting for me asking me to shoot an upcoming Ladies Night at the Arc'teryx store and it pumped me up even more. I am so stoked to see and be a part of women taking on challenges and redefining what it means to be a woman and to be feminine. So many things to be excited about and be stoked on in the near future!

Today marks the final day of build season! It was a day of extensive testing on the robot, with programming and prototype iterations. Confirming working autonomous programs, climbing to defeat the boss, and scoring power cubes to reach our goals. Team friends and family members gathered for a presentation, our team leaders delivered explanations and speeches, and a team photo was taken.
Our 2018 robots name was announced! Our competition robot has been dubbed "Ursa Origin" because of strong resemblances to our 2011 robot, Ursa Major– 'ursa' meaning bear. As well as this year marking our 12th season. The team made its start in Portable 12 at our previous high school, making this our Origin.
Our 2018 practice bot has been lovingly named "Gatorade" for our yellow powder coated parts spending a bit too long in the oven, giving the parts a Gatorade yellow appearance.
With our robot bagged at 8:46 pm PST, we have bagged our robot at 20:46, a tradition that we hope to keep for the years to come.
This marks the end of one successful, exhilarating, and fun build season!
Our team is confirmed for competing at the following events:
As always, you can track our team on The Blue Alliance to see match play, rankings, etc. Just look up '2046' or 'Bear Metal'.
Thank you to all of our mentors, parents, and sponsors that have aided us in this accomplishment.
Good luck to you all in this FRC Power Up! season.

Cool Haunting: Musée Cernuschi
As a teenager I lived in the 17ème arrondissement, closer to the banlieue of Clichy than to anything resembling a Parisian cliché. Between my lycée on the hardscrabble boulevard Bessières and my dance school near the much tonier Porte Champerret, my familiarity with the 17th merely skirted its periphery. To me, Batignolles wasn't a charming square, but the name of a stop on the 66 bus line, a bus I'd take to Opéra whenever I needed a new pair of pointe shoes. I was myopic in the way that only a fifteen year old can be, etching my life with a fine-tipped scribe and never stepping outside of the lines.
Thank god for being older and wiser, and for yoga which has taught me that life can be both engraved with a sharpness of agency and an aquatinted softness of action. This is the state I was in when I made my way to the Musée Cernushi. One of Paris' oldest museums, and the second of its asian art museums (the first is the Musée Guimet, which is currently featuring a great show on the history of tea), the Cernuschi is right now hosting a lovely exhibition of Vietnamese art called "Du fleuve rouge au Mékong: Vision du Viêt Nam." The paintings and lacquer work are quite lovely, and every Thursday at 16h, you can dig deeper into their meaning through the museum's lecture series (free with entry fee.)
If the show has you craving Vietnamese food, I'd jump on the métro and head down to Pho Song Huong on rue de Choisy in the 13è. As Superbytimai's Timai says, "best viet cantine in Paris!" (her mother's cooking excepted, naturellement.)

The University of Mary Washington baseball team split its Saturday Capital Athletic Conference doubleheader with Marymount University, dropping the opener, 12-6, and winning the nightcap, 9-6, in games played at Plumeri Park on the campus of the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va. The Eagles move to 12-7-1 overall, and 1-1 in league play.
In the opener, the Saints jumped ahead with a run in the first and six more in the third. The Eagles battled back with three in the fourth, thanks to a David Slupek two-run home run, and an RBI fielder's choice by Tyler Ray. Slupek added an RBI single in the fifth to pull the Eagles to within 7-4, but the Saints scored two in the sixth and three in the ninth. UMW tacked on two runs in the bottom of the ninth, as Nicholas Bass and Ray each provided sacrifice flies.
Slupek led the Eagles with the home run, single, and three RBI, while Stephen Johnston singled and doubled, and Garrett Lyons and Mason Riser each had two hits. Christian Hague took the loss, allowing seven earned runs in 5.1 innings, with two walks and four strikeouts.
In the second game, the Eagles scored twice in the first and twice in the second to grab an early cushion. Ramsis Ruiz reached with one out in the first, and moved to second on a catcher's interference, which allowed Johnston to reach. Hague reached on a fielder's choice which allowed Ruiz to score, and Johnston scored on a wild pitch.
In the second, Bass singled and scored on a double from Kevin France. France would score on a double by Ruiz. UMW added another in the third, as Hague and Slupek gained singles and Hague scored on a sacrifice fly from Mason Riser.
After a Marymount run in the fourth cut the lead to 5-1, the Eagles added three in the fifth, all coming on a three-run home run by Garrett Lyons. After the Eagles scored once in the eighth on a Bryce Runey double, followed by a run scoring double play, the Saints rallied for five in the ninth, but the Eagles held on with Joe Thompson gaining the save with two-thirds of spotless relief.
France had a double and two singles to lead the offense, with Lyons providing the big long ball. Ruiz singled and doubled as well. Hank Biggs gained the win on the mo9und, scattering two hits and one earned run in six innings, with six strikeouts and two walks. Thompson struck out both men he faced in gaining the save.
The Eagles will be back in action on Monday when they host Southern Virginia University at 3:30 pm in another CAC contest.

The textbook definition of physical therapy is: "the treatment of disease, injury, or deformity by physical methods such as massage, heat treatment, and exercise rather than by drugs or surgery." We at Spectrum Physical Therapy strive to offer our patients practical, beneficial, and personalized solutions to the health issues they are experiencing, while also doing our best to minimize the need for invasive surgery or medications whenever possible.
Physical therapy is useful for individuals that have suffered injury from sports, automobile accidents, or recreational activities. It is beneficial to those that are about to have, or have already had, orthopedic surgical procedures, and individuals that are looking to manage chronic pain due to arthritis, fibromyalgia, or other issues. It is also helpful for those suffering from minor spinal injuries and back pain caused by incorrect lifting, poor posture, or repetitive motion.
A prescription from a physician is needed in order to begin physical therapy. Once we have obtained this prescription from your doctor, you may then schedule your first appointment. During your first appointment at Spectrum Physical Therapy, you will be evaluated by one of our talented and friendly physical therapists who will then suggest an individualized treatment plan developed specifically for you. Throughout the course of your treatment, goals will be set in order to track your progress and improvement in order to ensure that this plan is allowing you to achieve your health and wellness objectives.
Many of our physical therapy techniques and services are covered by most insurance companies. Please contact us for more details about how we can work with your insurance plan so that you receive the best care for the lowest personal cost to you. We also offer the option of a flat rate per appointment for those individuals who choose not to use health insurance.
Spectrum Physical Therapy is a family-owned business that has been proudly serving the Boerne, TX community and surrounding areas for over 8 years. Owner Mark Malone, MS, PT, has been a practicing physical therapist for over 12 years. We also have two other physical therapists on staff - Jeannie Hernandez, PT, and Dr. Kathleen Drees, DPT, both of whom have over 20+ years of experience. In addition, we also have a skilled physical therapy assistant, Matthew Parsons, PTA, and several capable and caring physical therapy technicians to assist you in any way possible throughout the recovery process.

Furious pupils and parents picketed the gates of Birmingham school in a row over GCSE results.
A number of Year 11 children at Golden Hillock School in Sparkhill were left devastated after discovering they had been issued a lower than predicted grade in their English exams.
The dip in English grades meant the school posted one of the lowest overall results in the city on results day last Thursday.
More than 50 placard-waving parents and pupils gathered outside the school on Golden Hillock Road demanding answers over the lower results.
Banners included: "Do some ting now" [sic] and "carelessness ruins futures".
The protest comes as schools across the country raised concerns that English exams had been marked too harshly, with schools reporting an unprecedented number of fails among their pupils.
A spokesman for Golden Hillock said the school had made "significant progress" in recent years, and that it was concerned over the GCSE English results.
The protest was organised by parent Sophia Begum, whose 16-year-old son Shamas achieved all A* and A grades in his exams – including an A in English literature – but was graded C in English language.
She said: "He was predicted an A in 2011, and then he was downgraded to a B prediction, and now he has a C.
"The school has said its a national problem, but neighbouring schools like Small Heath and Waverely have shown an increase, in my opinion it runs deeper than this.
"My son was gutted, he has always been very ambitious and wanted to get into a red brick university.
"Too many have been affected badly by this and that is why we are here."
Some 39 per cent of students at the achieved the Government benchmark of five or more A*-C grades including maths and English, which was below the national floor target of 40 per cent.
It was also well below the 58 per cent the school had expected to achieve in this summer's exams.
One affected pupil, who did not wish to be named, said: "I felt really angry when I found out.
"It felt like they let me build my hopes up. I was supposed to be doing a level three diploma in health and social care at college, but I'll have to do level two now because I don't have a C in English."
A spokesperson for Golden Hillock school insisted teaching and learning standards were "consistently good" across the school, including the English department.
The spokesman said: "As a school we have significant concerns about the GCSE English results this summer, because many of our students have not received the GCSE English grade that we expected
"This has significantly impacted on the English A*-C results and consequently the headline figure of five A*-C with English and maths.
"This issue has been mirrored across the country as has been widely publicised in the national press.
"We are currently analysing in detail information at student level to support remarks and appeals, and we will continue to contribute to the national discussion."
"Whilst we did not achieve our English target, we achieved our expected 66 per cent A*-C in maths."

Annual Thanksgiving Day Charity Run Kicks Off Turkey Day/
By Connor Beach
On Thanksgiving morning, while most were still sound asleep in their beds, a large group of dedicated runners woke up, braved the early morning chill and participated in a run for charity.
The Thanksgiving Day Charity Run, organized by and benefiting The Townwide Fund of Huntington, was broken into two events — a four-mile main event and a fun run for families and younger runners to test their legs and lungs in the early Thanksgiving air.
More than 300 runners enthusiastically started off the Turkey Trot in the fun run at 8:30 a.m. The event was staged at the American Legion post on Mill Dam Road in Halesite, where the runners also started and finished the races.
Gloria Palacios, Townwide Fund executive director, said 2,180 people registered to run in the four-mile main event that included amateur and competitive runners, as well as those looking to entertain the Thanksgiving crowds by running the event in appropriately themed costumes.
Townwide Fund has a long-standing tradition of Thanksgiving Day turkey trots. Palacios said the organization has hosted runs in the fall for more than 40 years, and the Thanksgiving Day race has been going on for more than 30 years.
Palacios added that the event raised more than $40,000 for the Townwide Fund.
The Townwide Fund of Huntington was founded in 1961 to raise funds within the Huntington community to assist local charities. The organization continues to give grants to help fund charities that provide health and human services to those in need in the Town of Huntington. The Townwide Fund has raised more than $10 million since its inception, and continues to actively partner with local charities to fund programs that benefit local residents.

Hebrews 12:1-2 "…since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith…"
Jesus is absolutely unequivocally the greatest thing in the life of the believer. He is the Alpha and Omega. He is the glory of God. He is God in flesh. He will literally be the light in Heaven. He is not just our Savior, but also our redeemer. Our Christian life is not designed to work without Jesus and if we don't watch it, we can lose sight of Him. For some reason, once we have come to the cross, we have a tendency to want to go somewhere else. There is no where else to go! We must keep our eyes on the King.
Every time a believe gets his/her eyes off of Jesus, he/she gets weird. You know what I'm talking about? They are uptight, irritable, selfish, etc. But when someone spends time with Jesus, they become generous, genuinely happy, patient, and the list could go on and on. Having said that, I want to give you two thoughts to help you keep your eyes on Jesus.
1. Don't let the rules keep you from the Ruler!
Too many people are too focused on getting rid of sin, instead of just focusing on Jesus. Hebrews 12 (Above) says the way we get rid of sin, is by "looking unto Jesus." Jesus not only starts your faith but will finish it! Your faith can not be made unto completion without Christ!
1. Don't let the Kingdom keep you from the King!
Many times, it's the good things in life that can rob us from the great thing in Jesus. Don't let the benefits of the kingdom keep you from the blessing of the King. Ministry, miracles, blessing, and favor are all good, but not as great as Jesus. Last Week, we had over 30 students make a decision to follow Christ. That is incredible! But not as incredible as Jesus!
Keep you eyes on Jesus!

HTC Incredible : Light Causing Phantom Swipes On Optical Track PadJul 21, 2010
I am still experiencing phantom swipes (only to the left) on my Incredible. Putting a piece of duck tape over the optical track pad seems to resolve it. This has been ongoing for about a month and a half. I have a warantee but really don't want to wait for my new phone/get one of the newer LCD phones. I have been able to recreate the phantom swipe by moving the phone under different light sources. This is so annoying.
I have tried everything, there isn't dust on my track pad and its not a matter of grounding. I really hope this is not a hardware issue. I got my Inc by pre-order (original with AMOLED). I have been able to toy with some of the newer Inc builds (with the LCD screen). I have noticed the trackpad is more flush with the unit, this leads me to believe they reworked the hardware to fix an issue. Anyone else with the original AMOLED Inc builds experiencing this?
