Jack Rosenthal, who died Wednesday evening at his home in Manhattan, occupied many important roles in a career at The New York Times that began in 1969 — urban affairs correspondent in Washington, editor of The New York Times Magazine and president of The Times Foundation. But some of the happiest and most productive times of his life were the 16 years he devoted to putting out this page, as deputy editorial page editor beginning in 1977 and as editor from 1986 to 1993.
These were often turbulent times: captured hostages and roaring inflation under Jimmy Carter; "morning in America" for some, and budgetary austerity for others, under Ronald Reagan; and the end of the Cold War under the first President Bush. And at home, the near-collapse and gradual revival of New York City. The role of the editorial page, in Jack's view, was to add the institutional voice of The Times to the national and local conversation on a wide range of issues, and to that end, with great humor and even greater patience, he encouraged a robust and often contentious staff of more than a dozen writers to produce lively and thoughtful pieces on their specialties for an audience of demanding readers — of which the most demanding was Jack himself.
Jack loved words and their many uses. Having shared a desk with Jack in the Washington bureau during the Nixon days, I joined the editorial board in 1988 to write about politics and the presidency, but the piece that tickled him most was a little one about the third college edition of Webster's New World Dictionary, which contained several thousand new words and phrases that the Webster editors thought had sufficient currency to merit inclusion: greenmail, junk bond, talking heads, hacker and Nixonian. All these were fine, Jack thought; though a purist in many respects, and a ferocious enemy of cliché and rhetorical overkill, he saw language as a living, growing organism.
In 1982, Jack won a Pulitzer Prize for a diverse collection of editorials, some of which seem up-to-date even now. Writing at a time when the main immigration issue was the need for a consistent policy at the border, not the more complex question of how to deal with 11 million unauthorized people who are already here, he issued a prescient warning: "A million people are waiting in line to enter the United States legally; millions more are eager to jump the line; and the nation must choose which to let through the door. … The country is not now making the choice. The more the system spins out of control, the more Americans lose patience with government — and perhaps with any immigration at all."
He also had complaints about our business, not least journalism's habit of what he called "rushing the future," which in his view only spoiled it. "The year 1976 taught that lesson. Was there an American alive who, by the time the bicentennial actually arrived, was not already glassy-eyed from all the premature puffery?" Jack, never shy about raiding the culture for material, turned to an advertising slogan of the time for that editorial's final line, "Sell no wine before its time."

Today I want to concentrate on the night bars
Today I want to concentrate on the night bars, which means not drinking too much during the day and being in bed early this afternoon, so I am up early tonight to go out again. Therefore I might just get the train up to Burggasse Peep (or walk) then back for a pizza slice and Subway from the station then back to bed again! Let me concentrate on the night bars tonight. I can even get up to WSK for the last hour before walking back down.

It remains to be seen whether I can finish my holiday with any erotic fantasies and snatched moment of happiness
It remains to be seen whether I can finish my holiday with any erotic fantasies and snatched moment of happiness in my last night in Nuremberg and last night in Brussels.
So I am indeed staying in my Vienna hotel room this Saturday night
So I am indeed staying in my Vienna hotel room this Saturday night. I saw the floozies of Tete a Tete two nights in a row, the floozies of Manhattan two nights in a row, the floozies of Exzess, the floozies of WSK three days out of four; I am floozied out. Sated with the floozies. Again I've managed to come all the way to Vienna without doing anything naughty; well, it just means I never met anyone I wanted to have sex with enough. No doubt as soon as I get home I will be wishing I had f–ked Jackie in WSK, and wishing I had f–ked Denisa in Manhattan, but at the time I just didn't feel in the mood enough. So I stay in my big white bed overlooking the Gurtel, listening to classical music on my last night in Vienna. Rachmaninov 2nd Symphony. Check out 12 tomorrow for the 1250 train back to Nuremberg. I think it will be a long while till I come back to Vienna.
A beautiful blazing blue-skied Spring day in Vienna
A beautiful blazing blue-skied Spring day in Vienna. I felt so turned on with Denisa in Manhattan on Thursday night and so turned on with busty blonde Claudia in Tete a Tete on Thursday night, but when I went back to both places Friday night I felt nothing for either of them. I can't help thinking it is being forced to vacate the Dorint and decamp to the Ibis has totally ruined my mojo. The Ibis is a perfectly nice hotel but it does not feel like home like the Dorint does.

Ayurveda is the oldest medical system in the world and seeks to harmonize our minds, bodies and souls for optimal health and life fulfillment. It is a complete and profound system, and as Karine likes to say "It will change your life"! She looks forward to helping others discover their mind-body type and recommend ayurvedic natural healing tools to balance and prevent illness.
So what is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda, the 5,000-year-old healing system founded in ancient India, is derived from the Sanskrit words ayus meaning life, and veda meaning wisdom. Ayurveda- the wisdom of life, offers a proven guide for a life of happiness, vitality, love and purpose. From the Ayurvedic perspective, human beings are not viewed as mere thinking physical machines, but rather as fields of intelligence in dynamic exchange with the energy and information of the environment.
Health is more than the absence of disease.
Health is a state of vibrant balance in which all the layers of one's life are integrated. Ayurveda provides tools to enhance your physical and emotional well being via conscious choice making, and enlivening and nourishing the connection between mind, body and soul.
What can I learn from Ayurveda?
As a graduate of The Chopra Center University, Karine can teach you to easily bring balance and healing into your life using Ayurveda. You can learn a powerful regimen of Ayurvedic practices designed to balance the body and mind, enhance nutrition, reduce emotional turbulence and re-awaken the senses.
The primary teaching tools of Ayurveda include meditation, yoga and an understanding of the three primary mind-body personalities: vata, pitta, and kapha.
Based on your own unique mind-body type:
- you can learn how to select and use the most nourishing foods for you. These nutritional practices will help you maintain vibrant health, appropriate weight, and optimized digestion.
- you can learn to perpetually renew yourself each day by recognizing and eliminating toxins and by performing gentle rejuvenating techniques.
- you can learn tools to practice conscious communication to enhance your relationships and help you achieve emotional freedom.
- you can learn to use your senses to access the power of your body's inner pharmacy to heal, nourish, and maintain balance.
How will Ayurveda affect my life?
Today, doctors are increasingly citing stress as a major contributing factor to most illnesses. Our bodies and minds react to it by shifting out of balance, which ultimately creates physical challenges and emotional turbulence that impact our lives at home, at work, and at play. In time, we can find ourselves in toxic relationships and non-nourishing patterns of eating, sleeping, and digestion. Ayurveda will help you identify the imbalances in your life, teach you how to correct them, and help you develop a nurturing daily routine. You can also learn to release emotions in a healthy way so that they don't build up in your physiology. Most importantly, as your stress is eliminated, your mind and body begin to function with maximum effectiveness, creating health, vitality and happiness.
Doctor's and health professionals agree that by practicing Ayurvedic techniques you will be able to:
• Reduce stress • Identify your mind-body personality • Improve your digestion and sleep patterns • Release emotional toxicity • Create optimal daily nutrition • Lower your blood pressure

Water Charges - Home Business
This second set of articles on Water Charges extends the discussion on Small Business's in Business Centres and Shopping Centres to those business's run by people who work from home, and use part of their home for their business.
It is just as complicated, and as usual bullying by Scottish Water, its subsidiaries, and invoicing contractors is common place, as well as, not surprisingly, a failure to apply the relevant Laws of Scotland.
This paper relates to the law, as it us understood by the author, relating to a small business - indeed what might even be termed a "micro business" - being operated from a room in a dwelling - viz a domestic property - as defined in the Council Tax legislation. So IF you are in receipt of a domestic Council Tax bill, then you are in a dwelling, and if you are running a small business from this dwelling, then what follows, we trust, applies.

Everybody needs an exceptionally delightful and fruitful wedding and that will require genuine arrangement. One of the essential figures to put in mind while planning is hiring a wedding photographer for example, Seattle wedding photography and bolstering him with great and crucial information(s) and some of those data's are specified beneath.
(1) Addresses of contacts, the service and the gathering.
Yes, it may sounds clear however you truly need to offer these to your photographer and disclose in details to him if conceivable you can give him a smaller than normal guide to the place. Incorporate the full postal address, the zip/post code and a telephone number.
(2) Times for everything.
Timing is so essential, and you have to give your a chance to know about this reality. Despite the fact that things don't generally run precisely to time however be as exact as possible. The time you need your photographer to come should be made known to him. Furthermore, some different things like; time for the ladies arrival, time for picture taking. Disclosing to him these things will make him set his brain on it. You can basically work out a calendar. If the photographer knows the time and areas ahead of time they can plan to be in the opportune place at the perfect time. Read more here.
(3) Names or number of family and dear companions.
Keep in mind since your picture taker likely may be a more odd he most likely won't know anyone's identity. Having a list implies that they will have the capacity to unobtrusively recognize individuals before everything goes ahead. They will then be in a position to arrange bunches all the more rapidly and focus on the more authentic shots that recount the events of the day.
(4) A list of all group photographs that you need.
Have a rundown of shots that you might want and check with your photographer how much time you may need to do these. Visitors can get fed up if they need to stick around for a considerable length of time so don't make it too long; however some Seattle wedding photographer value time. Attempt to have a list that can be done within a short period of time.
(5) The ideal time and place for the photographs.
Converse with your photographer and choose where might be the best place to take shots with your adored ones. Try not to abandon it past the point of no return in the day or it won't be anything but difficult to discover individuals and unite them. Soon after the service and before the reception begins is an ideal time.
(6) The time and scene for shots of you and your spouse
These will be the most day of your life and the most essential an aspect of his responsibilities. You'll be occupied and needing to converse with your visitors however ensure you have some time, far from the wedding party, only for you. You'll require no less than 40 minutes or more you can save it.
For the perfect and memorable shots at your wedding just search for Seattle wedding photography online and make a good choice.

Better late than never on the Easter post, I guess.
As far as the dying of eggs . . . well that is a tradition I am ready to end. First of all, I boiled all 18 eggs because I didn't think it through. I thought there were only 12 and it's obvious I wasn't paying attention! Seriously, you can't put me in charge in the kitchen unless you want something to laugh about later. So Heath had to buy more eggs so we could have raw eggs to make ice cream. The Easter Bunny let us know we were getting an ice cream maker. I'm grateful that I have a nice husband who only says nice things about me to other people. When he saw a ward member at the store Heath told him I boiled the rest of the eggs. Note that he didn't say I boiled all 18! Thanks Honey!
We couldn't find an egg dying kit at the last minute on a Saturday afternoon. Shocking. So we did the vinegar and food coloring thing. Whoever thought the formula would make a "pretty purple" has never tried it themselves! The purple eggs looked like the token ugly egg my brother always made last when he put one egg in every color we had. Honestly, I don't know why we bother dying eggs. The Easter Bunny hides plastic eggs filled with candy and stickers at our house! But Gavin was not going to be happy unless we dyed eggs so we did and nearly a week later we finally ate all six eggs that were dyed. Yes, out of 18 eggs we only dyed 6. Don't ask.
The kids' boundless energy continued throughout the day, escalating to an unacceptable level during Conference. I was hoping for some cute pictures of the kids in their new Easter duds but the clothes somehow were the beginning of meltdowns all the way around. The day kind of went downhill from there.
By the end of the day most of the stickers had been used and most of the candy had been eaten. Good. Get that stuff out of my house! The next day I went on a cleaning/organizing frenzy to rediscover my lost sanity. I found last year's Easter candy in baggies on the top of the fridge. I chucked the baggies in the trash.

Email Promotion Copy
Email promotions can be simple text messages or elaborate HTML communications, depending on the nature of the offer, message and market.
The From line and Subject line act much like the teaser and headline in direct mail, and can spell success or failure for your message, so plan those carefully. The primary benefit must be immediately visible and unmistakable.
Many of the caveats of direct mail letters apply equally as well to email promotions. Interaction is key, brevity is advisable, personalization boosts response. Quick-reading bullets can accelerate communication in an otherwise lengthy message. The call to action should stand out clearly.

guy who has ASL and is paralyzed from neck down. He has a great heart
and knows what we have been sharing with him is true. The way he looks
at life, regardless of his circumstance, is incredible. It's forced me to take a step back and count my blessings! He accepted the invitation to be baptized!! We have some other incredible people we are teaching that are borderline baptism candidates as well! The ward
right in, and we taught him the first discussion and got to know him pretty well. He was more than down to meet again and said he would be baptized after he reads the Book of Mormon haha!!! Praying+faith=miracles! Once again. Amazing week!!

This week has been SOLID!!
First off, we had transfers, I am now serving in the Evergreen Ward in Vancouver!! It's so different than Portland!!! I absolutely love it and my companion, Elder Jones is a stud!! He was in band in high school, and plays a lot of drums. He knows how to play the drum kit pretty well.... He's fun to talk about music with! We were able to go to a couple baptisms for people I had taught in one of my previous areas! That was kind of weird because I got to see some people from my old ward. It is incredible the feeling you get as a missionary seeing people you love and taught make such an important choice! Without a doubt it will effect them and their families forever. We had a couple cool experiences of running into people this week and putting them on date on the spot!!! Miraculous things are about to happen! We have the coolest Zone as well! Everyone is bros...plus my MTC companion is in there with us!
I've been thinking a lot about being an example lately. Every single one of us are examples and leaders in our own way. A lot of times we are setting examples without recognition of what we are doing and so I have been trying to decide what kind of example I would follow...and than BE THAT. As we all know, the leader of leaders led by his example. The power that came behind his leadership came from his desire to be what a leader should be:
"Walk quietly, as in stocking feet; but walk fearlessly, in faith. Don't let the ill winds sway you. Walk as leaders with the priesthood in the government of God. Walk with hands ready to help, with hearts full of love for your fellowmen. But walk with a toughness in righteousness."
We can be the best example by showing our hearts are full of love for our fellow brothers and sister. Love them! That's it haha. When we internalize the love that the savior has for us, we learn to love him back, and love his doctrine. Through our love for the doctrine taught by our Savior, we begin to live it and we then can perfectly portray the blessings of this restored gospel.
The week has been good! I hope all of yours will be as well. I love you all!!!!!

We had exchanges soon after and being with my previous companion for a day was fun.
Lately I have been really focusing on developing Christlike attributes. Rather than just making them actions, I want to really incorporate them to who I am. Yesterday's big look was knowledge. Before I never really thought of knowledge being a Christlike attribute, but it is! In Alma 17:2-3, it talks about how powerful we can be in our ministry when we try to obtain a knowledge for righteous purposes. The sons of Mosiah "had given themselves to much prayer, and fasting; therefore they had the spirit of prophecy, and the spirit of revelation, and when they taught, they taught with power and authority of God.
4 And they had been teaching the word of God for the space of fourteen years among the Lamanites, having had much success in bringing many to the knowledge of the truth;"
Prophecy, revelation, teaching with the power and authority of God....SUCCESS!! I need this! I'm still trying to obtain a knowledge that seems adequate for the task I have at had. Without a doubt, my efforts in this behalf have allowed the spirit to take my words and make them into what God would have me say. "21 Seek not to declare my word, but first seek to obtain my word, and then shall your tongue be loosed; then, if you desire, you shall have my Spirit and my word, yea, the power of God unto the convincing of men." Pretty cool promises.
I love you guys, I love it out here! The work is progressing so fast! Have a great week!

There are many ways that we can live our lives, but when we consider that our lifespan is gone within the blink of a cosmic eye, then perhaps we should contemplate the matter of how we live our lives just a little more, by way of doing the subject some justice!
It would be far easier (and its never too late) to adjust our lifestyle now and follow a different path, than to amend it (or otherwise mend our ways!), when we are facing our exit from the stage of life, possibly leaving behind regrets and only partially fulfilled dreams and aspirations.
Below is a link to an article that I have produced, with some spirit intervention, which is designed to promote thought about the life one could lead, in the context of one's relationships with others. I don't demand, suggest or otherwise thrust opinions at the reader. I simply ask that the article be read with an open mind and an open heart.
Peace be with You…

Beer Run
Beer Run: Tiny Mraz Brewing seems bound for greatness
Mike Mraz talks brewing & souring beer
There are always plenty of surprises when the winning breweries are announced at the Great American Beer Festival, the prestigious awards handed out annually in dozens of beer categories.
A GABF citation can put newcomers on the map or cement the reputations of talented veterans. This is one of the awards that sells good beer fast.
One name I would not be surprised to see pop up at GABF 2015 in two weeks in Denver is Mike Mraz of Mraz Brewing.
He's a skillful and creative brewer appreciated mostly by serious beer geeks, for now.
But he's about to break out in a big way. It has to happen. His beers, many of them aged in barrels and brewed in the Belgian style, are so skillfully made, dynamic, food-friendly and distinctly delicious that they cannot remain a niche item for much longer.
Mraz's reputation as a master of barrel-aged beer is growing quickly. Many of his beers are brewed with fresh fruit, including raspberries, cherries, peaches, blackberries and kiwi. More and more, folks are clamoring to find out what all the fuss is about. Some of his latest bottle releases, including the Blackberry Saison Je', have sold out in hours, not days. (With a nod to Belgian tradition, Mraz included his 5-year-old daughter Charlotte's middle name, "Je'.")
I can understand why. Several of Mraz's creations, including that saison and another made with peaches, are among the most memorable beers I tasted in 2015. How can beer be so big and full-flavored, yet be tempered with such balance and elegance?
When I visited the brewery recently, Mraz, whose creative energy always seems to be churning, was excited about a new saison made with 50 pounds of kiwi and dry-hopped with Nelson Sauvin hops from New Zealand. I can only imagine how that must taste. It was going to spend more time in the barrel before being released to his adoring fans.
Mraz is working this kind of magic with just three employees toiling in a tiny space in an El Dorado Hills shopping center. Earlier in 2015, he acquired a 3,000-square-foot warehouse 5 miles away to store the beer aging in barrels.
Mraz is not one to toot his own horn. Indeed, the brewery's labels, while artistic and dramatic, have the name "Mraz" in minuscule letters that almost no one could spot on store shelves.
"I let my beers stand for themselves. Our logo stands out, and you'll see the wax (seal) for the barrel-aged ones," he said when told that his beers can be a challenge to run down in stores.
Mraz believes in his quest to reach brewing nirvana. He cashed in his 401(k) from his days in the automotive repair industry to start Mraz Brewing in May 2013. He was a foodie and wine enthusiast before he became a brewer, which explains his approach to flavor and his appreciation for balancing the acidity in his sours.
"Everybody asks, 'What's your business model?' I don't necessarily want to be Russian River, but if you're going to follow a business model, that's not a bad one," Mraz said of the Santa Rosa brewery known for Pliny the Elder and an array of world-class barrel-aged beers. "They make a bunch of limited-run stuff and Vinnie (Cilurzo) is happy with the beer he makes. When he does a bottle release, it sells out."
Those eight-hour lines for famous beer in downtown Santa Rosa have not happened yet at this tiny El Dorado Hills brewery. But when the beer is consistently this good, the clamoring for all things Mraz is bound to grow.
As for GABF, Mraz, like scores of other commercial brewers, has submitted his best work for scrutiny by the judges. He'll wait and see how the awards sort themselves out. There is no more competitive beer event in the United States.
So far, more customers have weighed in with their own accolades. Referring to the beer geeks out there, Mraz said with a smile, "If I can make a beer so good they're not going to take it to the bottle shares, I've succeeded."

Protocol Id: 407
Pan-Keratin (C11) Mouse mAb (PE Conjugate) detects endogenous levels of total keratin 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 13 and 18. The antibody does not cross-react with other keratins.Species Reactivity:
Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing a BALB/c mouse with a cytoskeleton preparation from A-431 cells.
Keratins (cytokeratins) are intermediate filament proteins that are mainly expressed in epithelial cells. Keratin heterodimers composed of an acidic keratin (or type I keratin, keratins 9 to 23) and a basic keratin (or type II keratin, keratins 1 to 8) assemble to form filaments (1,2). Keratin isoforms demonstrate tissue- and differentiation-specific profiles that make them useful as research biomarkers (1). Research studies have shown that mutations in keratin genes are associated with skin disorders, liver and pancreatic diseases, and inflammatory intestinal diseases (3-6).

Studying this morning's four readings from the St. James Daily Devotional Guide (click to subscribe), I examined myself with these questions. Where is your self-examination leading today?
Psalm 20:1-9. Verse 7 KJV, what's the difference between making use of a horse and trusting in it? What are some things I may trust in God's place? Action point?
Judges 2:1-23. Verses 16-19, as Israel disobeyed the judges God sent, what agents or spokesmen for the Lord are Christians failing to heed in our times? What's my church doing about it?
Acts 27:39 - 28:10. What is my attitude toward miracles, healing, and supernaturally answered prayer? Dismissive? Receptive? Zealous? Action point?
Luke 1:1-4. Verse 4 KJV, the author promises certainty, an eyewitness account (v2) with perfect understanding (v3). Do I take a high, middle, or low view of the Bible's reliability? Does it matter?

However, the institution has cut its forecasts for GDP's nominal value for 2009 from 498.96 billion lei in its preliminary autumn report to 497.32 billion lei.
For 2010, forecasts have been revised slightly from 526.53 billion lei to 525.1 billion lei.
The National Prognosis Commission said the current account deficit was likely to narrow sharply in the remainder of the year, to 4.6% of GDP, followed by a mild increase in 2010 to 4.8% of GDP only to hark back to 4.7% in 2011.
The institution forecasts an unemployment rate of 7.6% this year, followed by a slight easing to 6.2% in 2010, calculated according to Romanian standards.
After the meeting with International Monetary Fund, employers' organizations said the institution's predictions on GDP suggested an 8-8.5% contraction for 2009 and 1% growth for 2010.
Fitch forecasts Romania's GDP growth will turn positive in 2010 to around 2% after the 7.5% contraction projected for this year, the rating agency said recently in its "Emerging Europe Sovereign Review: 2009".

text: Hello all. I joined this forum to just ask one question. A friend suggested I get her a fondant rolling pin for Christmas. Which one should I get? We live near a Michael's and she's ordered from both Pampered Chef and Golda's Kitchen before, so if any of those places had a good fondant roller, I assume she'd have one already. She is retired and is taking a Chef Program. She makes special occasion cakes when requested and has worked a few catering gigs so far. She has a huge tool box full of tips and bags and all sorts of pastry chef/cake decorating tools, so she's serious about this stuff. I was also thinking to get her a gift certificate for a 'baking accessories' store but I have no idea what companies are out there (besides PamChef and GoldKitchen and she barely ever mentions those two). Any and all help would be appreciated!

In addition to the East Village outpost of Baoguette announced in this week's issue, a West Village location (along with a pho bar) will open in the Mama's Mudsliders space in mid-April, says the Feed.
It's not the only "banh mini-chain" coming -- we hear that Angelo Sosa's Asian-inspired sandwich and street-eats shop, now being called Xie Xie, will open a location at Ninth Avenue and 45th Street in about a month, followed by the St. Marks outpost we told you about earlier.
Plus Time Out's latest issue brings details of a new banh mi operation in Williamsburg -- Nha Toi will bring a peacemaker of sorts, the "Pho Banh Mi" to Havermeyer Street. And let's not forget the mysterious banh mi shop coming to Bedford Avenue (still under construction when we passed by last night).
Add all this to recently opened Num Pang, An Choi, Seoul Station, Hanco's, and the rest of them, and you've got a veritable explosion of meat, bread, and mayo! Wait, that sounds messy ...

With more than 1.1 million hours under their belts, YYC's White Hat Volunteers have been helping guests and enhancing the travel experience at YYC for nearly 27 years. The program boasts over 440 volunteers that have been welcoming passengers from across the globe, offering personalized assistance, wayfinding, comfort, enjoyment and reflecting our city's exceptional Western Hospitality. We are incredibly lucky to have a group dedicated to creating remarkable experiences each and every day.
In celebration of Volunteer Week and as a thank you for their continued commitment, The Calgary Airport Authority's 2018 Annual General Meeting on April 19 concluded with an homage to the years of service our volunteers have dedicated to YYC and its guests. Stepping out of the Marriott In-Terminal Hotel, the ears of the public and our YYC Crew were filled with the sounds of The Calgary International Airport Pipe Band as dozens of White Hat Volunteers, filled the halls in a procession of red and white. With shouts and 'ya-hoos' as President and CEO of The Calgary Airport Authority, Bob Sartor called out years of service, the excitement was contagious, with attendees gleaming with pride and appreciation.
What started off as simple program with 45 volunteers to meet and greet travellers in 1991 has now become our 'not-so-secret sauce' to delivering elevated experiences, a fundamental piece of the YYC identity and a memorable take away for our guests.
A big yahoo to all our YYC volunteers this national volunteer week.
We look forward to the next 27 years of service.

A Space of Grace
What Lutherans have to offer - A Space of Grace
"Human beings are meaning seeking creatures." Karen Armstrong opens her 2007, biography of the Bible with this sentence. Can I get an Amen?
I've spent the better part of my adult life as one of those meaning seeking creatures. I suppose, I also spent time as a child engaged in the same activity, but that search seems so distant now. The pilgrimage has yielded a few answers, and a whole lot of questions. In fact, the older I get, it seems the clearer my questions, and the fuzzier my answers. It seems I am destined to a life of wonder, and now consider my life task to be the one who wonders out loud – in print, from the pulpit, online or around the dinner table.
I have often said that my two favorite stories from scripture are Jacob wrestling with an Angel (Genesis), and the gospel narrative of Doubting Thomas (John). These narratives have aided my exploration, largely because they are ancient reminders that the quest is as old as humanity. Plus, hey, they are stories, and frankly, I am a sucker for a good story. The story can be found in scripture, in the cinema or listening to a neighbor describe his week at work. But I love Thomas and Jacob most, because they are both wrestling with questions that involve faith and doubt, and if you read Luther's commentaries, wrestling with Christ himself. Wow!
For me, faith and doubt are two sides of the same coin. One needs both, in my view, to have the whole picture. Try putting a sliced quarter into the parking meter in Newport, Rhode Island next time you want a Venti Half-Caf Skim Latte at the local Starbucks. See how that works for ya. How can one coin be two things? It's a paradox, and I love paradox, perhaps that is ultimately what attracted me to Lutheran theology. For it is in the Lutheran expression of the faith of Jesus that we find less either/or thinking, and more both/and concepts. We are simultaneously saint and sinner, the Eucharist is both earthly elements and heavenly promise, Jesus is both human and divine – and all of it at the same time. We are not asked to choose one or the other. Rather, we are invited to live in the tension.
In our time, there is a deep desire for surety and definition. "Why don't you stand for something?" comes the shout from the gallery. A conviction of faith seems to credential one as a real Christian. I am sympathetic to that desire. We live in chaotic times, and clear answers, or repetitive 'ways we've always done this before' provide a sense of stability. And yet, there is another hunger. It is a desire to enter into the questions of life, faith and meaning. Entering into these questions is rooted in our Lutheran heritage. I believe our greatest gift in these turbulent times is to offer a space of grace. By offering a space for people to explore what they question, wonder and doubt – we allow for, even encourage, a precious and grace-filled discovery to occur. For I believe that is where Christ can meet people, and walk with them, just as he did with Thomas. In a culture that is hungry for meaning, for community, for peace – that's a true gift. This is our uniquely Lutheran gift to the people in this region of New England, and indeed around the world.

Since we opened in Kirkbymoorside we have been monitoring footfall. Wednesdays continue to be the lowest footfall days so we have taken the decision to close on Wednesdays, except by prior appointment from 5th April 2017.
The market obstructs much of the parking in Kirkbymoorside on Wednesdays hence our decision. If you would like to visit on a Wednesday please do call in advance or email and we will happily open up. You may well find us in the gallery, catching up with paperwork and all the boring behind the scenes activities.
This continues on Sundays too and again we are happy to open up for anyone who would like to visit whilst we are officially closed.

Legacy Contamination (1979 – 2001)
During the Soviet Union's occupation of Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989, the country was heavily mined by Soviet forces, the Soviet-supported Republic of Afghanistan government, and opposing Mujahideen resistance groups. After the Soviet withdrawal in 1989, internal fighting between Mujahideen factions during the civil war from 1990 to 1996 saw more mines laid. Both the Taliban and the Northern Alliance also used mines during their 1996-2001 conflict. The overlapping geographies of these conflicts means that different factions have mined the same areas at different times, resulting in dense and complex explosive remnants of war (ERW) contamination. This is often referred to as 'legacy' contamination, owing to the fact that these conflicts between 1979 and 2001 are no longer active, and opposing factions no longer attach strategic importance to explosive items.
During this time, about 6.2 million Afghans fled their homes for Pakistan and Iran; however, since the fall of the Taliban more than 5.8 million refugees (UNHCR Figures: 2002–2015) have returned home as the Government of Afghanistan, supported by the international community, has worked to bring political and economic stability to the country. Unanimous and country-wide support for humanitarian clearance of legacy contamination in Afghanistan has supported the return of refugees as well as internally displaced people.
Modern Contamination (2001-Current)
Since 2001, ongoing conflict between armed opposition groups and the government has continued to contaminate Afghanistan with ammunition, small arms and unexploded ordnance.
Furthermore, from 2006 improvised mines have been used by various armed opposition groups in conflict with the Government of Afghanistan. Improvised mines, also known as Victim Operated Improvised Explosive Devices (VO IEDs), have a significant impact on civilian life in Afghanistan as they cause accident or death, inhibit access to schools, markets and property, and also hinder national level socio-economic development via large-scale infrastructure development.
Afghanistan is one of the most mined countries in the world with estimates of up to 640,000 land mines laid since 1979. More than three decades of conflict have also left the country littered with unexploded ordnance (UXO). As a result, over 31,000 casualties were recorded between 1979 and May 2018. Many additional casualties will have gone unrecorded so the actual total is almost certainly higher.
Agriculture and livestock support the subsistence of all rural communities in Afghanistan, who make up approximately 80% of the entire population. When land is known to be contaminated with landmines or other unexploded ordnance, whole communities are threatened with poverty through not being able to grow sufficient crops or graze their animals. Currently, over 220km2 of agricultural land in Afghanistan is contaminated with explosive remnants of war.
HALO began operating in Afghanistan in 1988 and has grown into the largest humanitarian landmine and ERW clearance programme in the world employing over 3,600 Afghans. The programme is completely Afghan-led and recruits many employees directly from mine and ERW impacted communities. Work with HALO offers many young men from impoverished rural communities the only steady legitimate employment they have ever known and their wages go back into their communities further increasing the impact of HALO's work.
HALO teams deliver manual demining, mechanical demining, weapons and ammunition management, battle area clearance, surveys, and stockpile destruction in order to save lives and prevent injury through the clearance of contaminated land and the removal of stray ammunition and unexploded ordnance.
HALO is committed to facilitating implementation of the Government of Afghanistan's Millennium Development Goals, and importantly the Ottawa Mine Ban Treaty, including the ten-year clearance extension to its Article 5 obligations.
As of July 2018, HALO Afghanistan had destroyed over 241,500 anti-personnel mines, over 6,700 anti-vehicle mines, over ten million items of large calibre ammunition and over 49 million bullets. HALO Afghanistan's teams have also de-activated 2,800 heavy weapons such as tanks and artillery pieces, and chopped up more than 52,000 light weapons. HALO is currently locating and destroying an average of around 10,000 explosive items (with a gross weight of 70 tonnes) every month.
Almost 80% of all recorded mine and UXO contaminated land in Afghanistan has now been cleared. Much progress has been made, though the remaining 581km square kilometres means there is still some way to go to help Afghanistan meet its obligation to ensure clearance of all recorded hazards by 2023.
HALO are grateful for the generous funding we receive from governments, including the Netherlands, UK Department for International Development and Conflict, Stability and Security Fund, German Federal Foreign Office, Norway, US Department of State, Canada, Japan, Ireland, Finland and the Japanese NGO AAR Japan. Funding from sources such as the UN's Common Humanitarian Fund (CHF) has also enabled HALO to respond to humanitarian emergencies.

Album Review : Tiga
Album review:
Deep in the vaults of house music history, somewhere in-between New York's Paradise Garage and Chicago's The Warehouse, was a time when all club tracks were full of obese black men, croaking innuendos that'd make Julian Clary seem prudish. The homopobic late-'70s 'disco sucks' movement was the bitch-slapping retort. Three decades on, a mini Canadian chap is bringing things full-circle and thanks to an all-star cast including the brothers Soulwax and Gonzales, he almost pulls off this grand appropriation. Tracks such as 'Beep Beep Beep' slink and twirl with a bawdy grace, but on the likes of 'Sex O'Clock', it's hard to hide the tired pantomime of his vocals; more Widow Twanky than RuPaul.

Washburn High School was named for a pioneer in the Minneapolis flour milling industry, Mr. Cadwallader C. Washburn. C. C. Washburn and his partners founded a mill company on the west bank of the Mississippi River utilizing the water power generated by St. Anthony Falls. In addition to investing in a variety of business ventures, Mr. Washburn served as a major general in the Civil War, as a senator in the U. S. Congress, and as a governor of Wisconsin. Because his permanent residence was in Wisconsin rather than in Minnesota, he convinced his brother William to manage the mill operation.
In 1880, the flour milled at the Washburn mill won the gold medal (best in the world) at the Cincinnati Millers Exhibition; thus, the mills flour became known as Gold Medal Flour and was sold in its characteristic blue and orange bags.
In the milling industry, C. C. Washburn was known for utilizing innovative techniques. Through milling and other ventures, he amassed a sizeable fortune. The milling company he formed with partner John Crosby later became General Mills and was also the parent company of radio station WCCO with the call letters formed from the first letters of Washburn-Crosby Company.

The Federal Government has welcomed the plan by Olam International to introduce Barramundi cultured fish (Sea Bass) to Nigeria.
Sea Bass is a common name for a variety of different species of marine fish of which Barramundi is one.
According to organicsfact, "Barramundi has a number of impressive health benefits, including its ability to help lose weight, prevent certain cancers, balance cholesterol levels, prevent diabetes, ensure growth and repair, improve eye health, and strengthen bones."
The Federal Government has pledged to embrace the initiative through partnership with the group as a way of boosting local fish production.
Minister of State for Agriculture, Sen. Heineken Lokpobiri, said this in Abuja during a presentation on the prospect of introducing marine-culture fish into Nigeria by a delegation of Crown Flour Mills and Animal Feeds Production – a subsidiary of Olam International Ltd.
While commending Olam for producing quality feeds, Lokpobiri identified high cost of feeds as the greatest challenge facing fish growers.
He, therefore, called on the private sector to embrace transfer of the new technology as this would ultimately lead to increase in local production.
The delegation which was led by the Vice President of Animal Feeds and Protein (AFP), Mr. Asish Pendeh, included Prof. Matthew Tan, a consultant working in the field with private fish farmers in Nigeria and other parts of Africa.
Mr. Pandeh observed that embracing culturing of Sea Bassa in the country would bring many advantages such as good yield, higher productivity, reasonable returns on investment, as well as transfer of relevant technology.
He noted that Nigeria had abundant land, coastline and water bodies suitable for commercial purposes.

Beyond Broadcast 2007
I'm going to be down in Cambridge next Saturday for Beyond Broadcast conference.
From the conference description:
"For 50 years broadcast media have played a powerful role in shaping political culture and mediating citizen engagement in the democratic process. Now a participatory culture is putting the tools of media creation and critique in the hands of citizens themselves. We invite you to MIT—to explore the means, the message, and the meaning of the post-midterm, pre-presidential YouTube moment."
We're hard at work on the Foneshow platform creating tools for political candidates to communicate with the people and people to communicate with candidates. We're excited to see what others are thinking and get their feedback on what we're doing. If you're going to be there track me down.
Just as an example of what we're talking about.

The only bummer is Podcamp Toronto is the same weekend and I can't be two places at once.


text: The Tour is over! We are bereft! No more afternoon TV watching while we pretend to work. No more desperately avoiding social media until the evening highlights when we've missed the day's action. No more bike rides planned around cake stops at cafés screening the race. What on earth are we supposed to do now? Well, there's always the Vuelta at the end of August. No, we know it's not quite the same but it still attracts all the big boys. As we write, Chris Froome is weighing up whether to try and emulate Jacques Anquetil and Bernard Hinault by going for a Tour/Vuelta double. Some of Froome's competitors may feel they have something to prove after their Tour disappointments too. And just think, once the Vuelta's finished on 13 September, there will only be 10 months until the next Tour begins! There's always riding bikes too, of course. We doubt we're alone in cutting short or postponing rides because the Tour was just too enticing. It's a curious fact of cycling life that bike fitness often dips at this time of year, just when you think you ought to be peaking after all that off-season hard work. There are various reasons for this – the big summer expedition might now be behind you, the family holiday might have kept you off the bike – but another one might just be because you've been neglecting your cycling and choosing instead to sit in front of the telly to watch other riders turn themselves inside out for a few weeks. And then there's everything else, of course. The garden's looking a bit neglected. The family probably needs reminding who you are and why you're skulking around the house looking so miserable. And you now have time to pursue all those non-cycling interests you have. You do have some of them, right?

Our Favourite Coffee Alternatives
For many, a morning coffee is an uplifting ritual and a non-negotiable start to the day. However, whilst a little of the strong stuff is perfectly ok, when the need for a warm and cosy pick-me-up hits after you've already consumed your your daily dose, it's time to reach for something a little more nourishing. Below, we've rounded up our favourite healthy coffee alternatives that we've been sipping on in addition to our 'one a day' organic brew.
Bloom supercharge matcha
Bloom Supercharge Matcha Green Tea powder is the key ingredient in our daily almond milk matcha latte. A high source of antioxidants and fibre, this aevi staple is additionally boosted with liver supporting yerba mate and milk thistle for an added nutritional kick.
four sigma foods Cordyceps
Whilst drinking mushrooms might not appeal to the masses, we're here to change your mind. Cordyceps mushroom is an adaptogen, not a stimulant, which means unlike coffee, it helps you to maintain constant energy levels throughout the day by activating the body's own natural energy production cells. Naturally sweetened with liquorice root, rose hip and stevia, the result is surprisingly tasty, especially if its the bitterness of coffee that you crave.
One of our all-time favourite natural and nutritious energy boosters, cacao contains a powerhouse of components that help stimulate the secretion of endorphins to leave you with that feel-good buzz. Containing high levels of magnesium that helps balance brain chemistry, PEA aka the 'love drug' and Theobromine, a well known serotonin booster – we love to add a teaspoon of coconut oil and a splash or maple syrup and coconut milk for the yummiest hot chocolate.
An ancient powerhouse of fatigue fighting and stress relieving essential nutrients, Maca is yet another superfood staple in the aevi kitchen. Warming, nutty and earthy with the most delicious caramel undertones to boot, simply blend a teaspoon of Maca with your favourite plant based milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and honey to taste. The perfect morning or pre-workout energiser.
Containing the same type of antioxidants as green tea but in a much greater quantity, those found within white tea have many health promoting properties including boosting cardiovascular health, helping to lower cholesterol and increasing metabolic rate. We've been enjoying a strong cup of white tea in the afternoons for an energising and antioxidant rich post-lunch pick-me-up.
Stay tuned for more aevi favourites, coming soon.

The Firefox web browser supports plugins and browser extensions. The core difference is that plugins are loaded from external sources and often proprietary. They are currently enabled by default if Firefox notices them in one of the default plugin locations on the system.
This may be convenient as it means that sites that require these plugins for some or all of their functionality work right out of the box, but it is also a issue of control. Firefox users do not have a say initially whether a plugin will be activated in the browser or not. While it is certainly possible to disable identified plugins, it is something that happens after the plugin has been enabled in the browser. You can also enable click to play to prevent the automatic loading of plugins in the browser.
Mozilla introduced click to play some time ago, a feature that Firefox users need to enable before they can make use of it. Later, click to play was used to block insecure plugins automatically in the browser.
It is still up to the user to activate a blocked plugin, even though it is not recommended to do so as it makes the browser and underlying system vulnerable to exploits targeting those vulnerabilities.
Mozilla today announced the next step to put users in charge of plugins in the browser. Instead of making click to play a choice, it will be enabled for all plugins in the future except for the current version of Adobe's Flash plugin. Michael Cotes, Director of Security Assurance outlined the upcoming steps of the implementation.
What this means is that plugins won't be enabled by default anymore in the browser with the exception of the current version of Adobe Flash. It is not clear why Flash is exempt from the process but the most likely explanation is that it is the most widely used plugin and that users would probably flood Mozilla with support requests if it would be included.
The benefit for Firefox users should be clear. Instead of having to monitor installed plugins regularly to disable those that are not needed, it is now done automatically so that plugins that are not used are not automatically available when websites request access to them.
Click to play gives users options to always run plugins on a site so that the click to play message does not appear every time a page is opened on that website. Mozilla furthermore plans to add options to enable plugins only for specific sites by default, e.g. Flash for Vimeo or Java for a bank's site that requires it.
The drawback is that users will see those messages in the browser frequently at first, for instance on YouTube. While it takes just two clicks or so to activate plugins permanently on a site, it needs to be done for all sites that require plugins to run.
Keeping plugins disabled by default is a welcome change, considering that the majority of plugins installed in the browser are likely never used anyway. The effectiveness of the change depends largely on the notifications that users will receive when they need to make a decision whether to run a plugin or not.
Advertising revenue is falling fast across the Internet, and independently-run sites like Ghacks are hit hardest by it. The advertising model in its current form is coming to an end, and we have to find other ways to continue operating this site.

Hi :)
Just one remark. «About:addons» give the access to the extensions.
For plugins like shockwave the local address is «about:plugins».
For a complete list of "about" just type «about:about» in the address window of Firefox.
No, Martin is right, «about:addons» ALSO lets you access the management page for you installed plugins, and is much more user-friendly than «about:plugins», let me add.
Many will know this, but maybe there's someone who does not: NoScript does all this and more. Premium Add On.
Ahh I was just going to add that. Though it may be worh noting as well that NoScript does not enable "click-to-play" protection by default. You have to enable it by
going to Options > Objects Tab > Select the Plugins you may want to enable Click-to-play" for. Aditionally the protection can be fine tuned by choosing whether to apply "click-to-play" for trusted sites or not, under the same preference tab.
Handy to disable un-required plugins. Better if I was able to delete them altogether. Even better if they weren't installed at all without permission.
about:permissions is where you can manage all sorts of things on a per-site basis like plugin permissions, passwords, cookies, offline data, etc.
Never knew "about:permissions" thanks for the added info
Which version of Firefox is this feature going to land in?
Mozilla has not named a target version yet.

As a real estate photographer, your ultimate goal is to persuade a prospective buyer to get off the couch, leave the comfort of their home, and come take a first-person look at a property. But there's something deeper going on psychologically and you need to understand it.
My wife gets this, and I get it now, but I didn't always understand. It's like the time we were buying a new car. I wanted to play it cool at the dealer (even though our car was on its last legs and we needed a new one ASAP), and I was trying. I'm not that great at negotiations, but I was trying. In the showroom, there happened to be a lovely green version of the model of car we were looking at (we had test-driven a white version). My wife proceeded to tell the salesman that she loved the color of the showroom car.
And that was it, right? Although she wasn't the biggest fan of the car itself (and we've since outgrown it), she loved the color. That was where her heart was and it wasn't really going to budge.
It's like that with prospective home buyers too. You need to get them to fall in love with the property that you're photographing. Whether they realize it or not, deep down they will begin to imagine themselves living in that space, cooking there, entertaining there, relaxing there. They will envision their kids growing up there and eventually grandkids will visit and enjoy the home. Or some version of the above.
So, as a photographer, how do you do this? Well, staging is key, and so is proper lighting, composition, color, and all of the other things professional photographers think about. But the detail shots can really sell it. Details are not going to be your bread and butter real estate shots, but including a few in every shoot can really pay off. Not only are you over-delivering to your client, but you are planting the seed in those buyers' minds.
They need that house. No one else can have that house, and they can't imagine living anywhere else.
The cute little breakfast nook with the warm sunlight streaming in the window.
The cozy couch with the fluffy pillows and warm blanket.
The vase of fresh-cut flowers in the entryway.
The bathroom vanity sporting the latest high-end fixtures.
The chef's kitchen.
The reality is that, of course they can live in another house, but it's marketing, right? We don't need that luxury Jaguar, we don't need that bucket of chicken from Popeyes, we don't need a gecko-driven insurance policy.
Your photos are going to create the first impression for most prospective buyers. It's your photos that will get them in the door. Give them that little extra nudge with some subtle detail-oriented marketing.

Everyone knows what MTV stands for, but the international music channel has developed over the years and so avid music followers have ditched it because MTV has transformed so much that Music, is quite a small portion of the franchise. This article however, is not about MTV per se, but rather their relatively new section called MTV Geek. MTV Geek was launched in 2010 and it now groups together news and reviews related to anything termed "geeky". The website is a portal to various links, articles, blogs, videos and even online comic book reading. The MTV name helped this section to grow fast and to give access to its employees to visit and give full live coverage of various events such as Wondercon, Toy Fair and the New York Comic Con. Film trailers, TV series, Comics, Interviews, competitions and even Anime news can be found on the website.
I stumbled upon MTV Geek thanks to a Facebook ad promoting their latest activity – The Battle Arean Otaku Fight Fight competition. In short people vote for their favourite iconic characters be it from video games or anime or just Japan icons and after a series of polls the ultimate winner will be announced. A typical showdown is: Sailor Moon vs Hatsune Miku, Ken Shiro vs Ed Alric or Sephirot vs Goku. Haven"t we ever wondered who would win in such face offs?
Another important aspect of MTV Geek which I found quite fascinating is its facility to provide weekly previews of comics and sometimes full issues. This can be done thanks to MTV Geeks agreements and collaborations with various publishing houses such as Marvel, Image, DC etc… MTV have also launched their own comic publishing company entitled – MTV Comics of which mostly their productions are digital only. The istore app ComiXology has recently acquired rights to make available MTV Comics for sale from their online store. Some of the titles available from MTV Comics are: Divination, Agent Mom, Teen Wolf, The Gloom, Hats, Me2 and Fox Head Stew.
So whether you are an MTV lover or hater, if you"re a geek at heart, spare some time a week to check out MTV Geek as I believe it is going to continue to grow to be one of the most viewed and reliable comics websites on the net.

Cyst on Ovary Indications
Ovaries is the female reproductive organs in the body that produce and store eggs. An ovary cyst is a sac that gets formed on or even in the ovaries and is filled with fluid. This cyst gets formed in a woman's body if the ovaries are preparing eggs for release into the fallopian tubes. The vast majority of cysts are not harmful but some cysts may be linked to cancer.
An ovary cyst develops due to a number of reasons and could be of different types from benign to our life threatening. Different types of cysts are Cyst adenomas, Functional cyst, Polycystic ovaries, Desmoids cysts or Endometriomas.
Ovarian cysts warning signs
All sorts of ovarian cyst gives very different symptoms that a woman experiences. Many of the cysts that develop are asymptomatic, meaning that they do not give any symptoms to the body. Many of the symptoms that develop include:
Painful legs Softness inside the breasts Irregular menstrual cycles Pressure in the bladder Boost in body weight Problems in passing urine Painful intercourse Continuous pain during the abdomen
Some cysts on ovaries are harmful to your body. If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, will want your cysts treated immediately:
Fever Vomiting Severe stomach pain Tiredness Shortness of breath
Diagnosing cysts on the ovaries Ovarian cysts are diagnosed by a test known as the pep smear test. The tests are done by a gynecologist by feeling the ovaries to detect for any kind of swelling or lesion in the ovaries. In case a cyst is suspected through the gynecologist, she will refer an ultrasound and with the report of the ultrasound, you will get to know within the cyst, its size, its shape and the consistency with the cyst.
When cysts on the ovaries are detected, then blood tests are referred from the doctors to check the risk of ovarian cancer. In the blood tests done, when the amounts of protein CA-125 are incredibly high, then the likelihood of ovarian cancer is also very good.

SAN BERNARDINO – Deputies, family members and dignitaries stood in silence as San Bernardino County Sheriff Rod Hoops read the names of a dozen deputies killed in the line of duty since 1907.
Hoops paused and wiped his eyes as he came to the name of Al Stewart, and then continued down the list.
"When one of them is killed, we all share in the loss," Hoops said.
It was an especially somber moment during the Sheriff's Department's Peace Officer Memorial Ceremony on Wednesday.
Stewart died in March 1973 during a gunfight with Gerald Youngberg, who also shot and killed California Highway Patrol Officer Larry L. Wetterling and stole his patrol car in the Cajon Pass. A man riding in Stewart's vehicle was wounded in the attack.
"I know (Stewart's) killer is up for parole. We will make a commitment to be at his parole hearing and we're going to make sure that murderer stays in prison," said District Attorney Michael A. Ramos.
Hoops described the annual ceremony as a reopening of old wounds, but said he was extremely grateful that "we haven't added a name to this memorial in quite some time."
The last San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy to die was Deputy Daniel Lobo, who suffered fatal injuries in an on-duty motorcycle crash in October 2005.
For family members of fallen deputies, the ceremony is like a reunion, where they exchange hugs and catch up with their loved ones' former colleagues.
Karen Ives, whose husband, Ron, was killed in a 2004 on-duty motorcycle crash in Rancho Cucamonga, said she comes to the event every year.
"I think what I take away from it is how much everybody loved him and want to honor him," Ives said.

Love of Public Education
I attended elementary, junior high, and high school in North Carolina public schools, and our children did the same, with our older child now in college in the UNC system. My mother was a preschool teacher until she went back to school for her master's, and then taught reading in North Carolina public high schools for 20+ years. I've been on the school board in Chapel Hill-Carrboro for the past 8 years, listening to teachers and leading change in our district to ensure we have resources in the right places to improve instruction for all students.
Management skill
I've spent my entire career in corporate IT leadership--managing large teams across the globe, leading large projects and significant budgets with a variety of stakeholders, and driving change in processes and systems to deliver value to the business, with a focus on customer experience improvements.
Share your ideas
I want to hear from all those interested in education in our state, but especially from North Carolina's 100,000 public school teachers about what your Department of Public Instruction can do to improve your classroom experiences. Please call us at (919) 351-9060 and share: What are the most significant obstacles you face each day and how can public policy effectively address them?

Upgraded 7.11 to 7.12 with no issues. This is worth blogging about because it went so smoothly. No issues at all 🙂
Upgraded the first delivery controller.
Opened Studio, then it prompted to upgrade the site.
During this process it disconnected both of my delivery controllers from the database and made all the applications unavailable.
This process took roughly two min. I can't complain about that, two min of down time to upgrade citrix to the latest version.
I feel very comfortable about the next upgrade, backup the database, take snap shots of the delivery controller and upgrade.

2016 in Numbers
119, 363 people are waiting for a live-saving transplant.
658 people are currently waiting for a kidney transplant in Oregon.
14 months that I have been on the transplant waiting list.
6 months since I had my catheter placement.
5 months since I started dialysis.
In the New Year, I have hope that I will receive my life saving kidney transplant, whether it be from a non-living or living donor.
I look forward to sharing my story with you all and the facts about transplantation.
Thank you for being on this journey with me.
