O Come, Faithful Bridegroom
Open Your Bible
Hosea 2:14-23, Isaiah 54:4-8, Revelation 19:6-10
BY Guest Writer
He said when he saw it in that thrift store window, he just knew. That's how my friend Molly got her wedding dress. When she was still a little girl, far too young to be planning a wedding, her daddy saw a wedding gown in a thrift store window and purchased it in anticipation of the day he would walk his daughter down the aisle. When that day finally came, there was nothing secondhand about Molly. She was a bride as stunning as they come, adorned in a gown that took our breath away.
Revelation 19 sends us an invitation to a different kind of wedding reception, the marriage supper of the Lamb:
Then I heard something like the voice of a vast multitude, like the sound of cascading waters, and like the rumbling of loud thunder, saying,
Hallelujah, because our Lord God, the Almighty,
Let us be glad, rejoice, and give him glory,
because the marriage of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has prepared herself.
She was given fine linen to wear, bright and pure.
For the fine linen represents the righteous acts of the saints.
Then he said to me, "Write: Blessed are those invited to the marriage feast of the Lamb!" (vv.6–8).
Though nearly twenty years have passed, the memories of my own wedding day remain tender, as if they just happened yesterday. It was a beautiful start to a beautiful life. And yet, it was only a shadow of a higher truth, a more cosmic picture, an even more perfect union.
Marriage is the ultimate object lesson. The covenant language we exchange at the altar tells a story, not just of a human bride and groom, but of THE Bridegroom, the lover of our souls, who has betrothed Himself to us in covenant love.
Look again at the description of the marriage supper of the Lamb, and pay particular attention to the dress: "She was given fine linen to wear, bright and pure. For the fine linen represents the righteous acts of the saints" (v.8).
On the day when we, the Church, are finally united with Christ, our Faithful Bridegroom, we will be adorned more spectacularly than any bride has ever been, clothed in purity, and veiled in unfathomable grace. Our gown has been granted to us, bought and paid for by our Savior. We could never earn it, nor could we purchase it for ourselves. See how our wedding clothes are pure white, while Christ's robe is "dipped in blood, and his name is called the Word of God" (v.13).
He came in swaddling clothes (Luke 2:12, ESV), so that He could purchase our wedding clothes; Jesus bought our wedding dress on the cross. But as He hung there, He just knew—the crucifixion was not the end of the story. He knew that someday, there would be a wedding, and His bride would be made ready by His sacrifice.

Love this ❤
Once again I am left in awe. How great is our God? That he orchestrated all of this just for us? It's overwhelming the love that God has for us and that He hasn't forsaken us for just how much trouble we can stir up sometimes!
I never was fully able to understand the bridegroom/church bit and what it all meant until I was married. Christ loves the church the same way a husband loves his wife. We are all going to make mistakes—sometimes big ones, sometimes small ones—and we have to put our faith that God/Jesus will forgive us of our transgressions. The same goes for marriage. Man is taught to love his wife the same way Christ loves the church. And I understand it so much better now. My husband is always on my side…even when I am wrong! He will stand up for me no matter what, he's my shoulder to lean on, my support, my rock, he goes above and beyond for me.
That is how Christ is for churches. He is always on your side. Never doubt His unfailing love.
Whenever I feel lonely and forsaken, I remind myself that Jesus is the only one I can count on to never leave me, and it gives me such encouragement. Even if every person in my earthly life were to betray me, tell lies about me, and abandon me (as my earthly husband has), Christ will never leave me, never betray me, and never love me any less than He ever did. He does not even care about anything anybody else says about me or accuses me of – He sees me as I truly am, and loves me for it. He always has and always will. Alleluia!
Amen. Thank you Jesus. Come Lord Jesus, Come.
This is the 3rd time today that God has put this chapter of Hosea in my path! His commitment to us, even to lead us into hard places so that we can hear His voice in tender ways – it's speaking to my heart that is in a wilderness season. He pursues us even when we don't expect Him to show up at all.
This is the 3rd time today God has put Hosea in my path –

As a youth delegate you are in a unique position. You work mainly as a volunteer but you're also partially employed. In practice you do the work of a volunteer, but you also have a few administrative tasks so it's important to balance the two. This can be challenging at times because the volunteers might see you more as an employee than a volunteer and equal to them. A big part of our job is to help the youth volunteers in our district to strengthen the structure and framework of their activities to ensure sustainability. We also do informational work such as this blog, articles and being visible in different social medias,.
Being a Red Cross Youth delegate is exciting, you get to know a new culture and get first hand experience in working/volunteering for a new national society. All national societies are facing different challenges depending on the humanitarian needs in the country. The tasks and activities you'll be carrying out may differ from what you've worked on within the Red Cross earlier. Though there are different challenges and the national societies across the world work differently you'll discover that they all have the same core values and are united through the 7 principles.

Strength training: Get stronger, leaner, healthier
We've been advocating strength training for nearly 20 years, and the benefit we've seen in folks of all ages and abilities is truly astounding. We work with people who have had little to no exercise experience and really high-intensity athletes, with those who simply long to lose 10lbs, to those with chronic pain and inflexibility. In each we have nurtured progressive results that have changed the way our clients live their lives. For that trust and their reward we are so grateful! Here's a small affirmation from Mayo Clinic of the kind of benefits strength training can bring to our lives.
Strength training is an important part of an overall fitness program. Here's what strength training can do for you — and how to get started.
from the Mayo Clinic
You know exercise is good for you. Ideally, you're looking for ways to incorporate physical activity into your daily routine. If your aerobic workouts aren't balanced by a proper dose of strength training, though, you're missing out on a key component of overall health and fitness. Despite its reputation as a "guy" or "jock" thing, strength training is important for everyone. With a regular strength training program, you can reduce your body fat, increase your lean muscle mass and burn calories more efficiently.
Use it or lose it
Muscle mass naturally diminishes with age. "If you don't do anything to replace the lean muscle you lose, you'll increase the percentage of fat in your body," says Edward Laskowski, M.D., a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., and co-director of the Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine Center. "But strength training can help you preserve and enhance your muscle mass — at any age."
Strength training also helps you:
Develop strong bones. By stressing your bones, strength training increases bone density and reduces the risk of osteoporosis.
Control your weight. As you gain muscle, your body gains a bigger "engine" to burn calories more efficiently — which can result in weight loss. The more toned your muscles, the easier it is to control your weight.
Reduce your risk of injury. Building muscle helps protect your joints from injury. It also contributes to better balance, which can help you maintain independence as you age.
Boost your stamina. As you get stronger, you won't fatigue as easily.
Manage chronic conditions. Strength training can reduce the signs and symptoms of many chronic conditions, including arthritis, back pain, depression, diabetes, obesity and osteoporosis.
Sharpen your focus. Some research suggests that regular strength training helps improve attention for older adults.

Gerd Neumann Aurora Flatfield Panels for <220mm Diameters - 12V
OPT Guarantee
Gerd Neumann Aurora Flatfield Panels for <220mm Diameters - 12V
The Aurora Flatfield Panels by Gerd Neumann Jr.: Enjoy the perfect flat and say hello to a new era in Electro-luminescence flat field science with the revolutionary Aurora Light panel or as we affectionately call them - an Aurora. The new Aurora Flatfield Panel is an advancement in the well known technology of EF flat field foils. Due to the huge demand from all over the world this new product line was especially designed to match the needs of astrophotography.
The Aurora Flatfield Panel is a new light source technology for taking flat field images for use in calibration of digital images. In brief, it is a thin Electro luminescence foil which emits an even white light after an external voltage is applied to it.
The Aurora Flatfield Panels are mounted in a very rigid frame consisting of virtually unbreakable plastic with an extra protection around the edge so your Aurora is very well protected during transport and travel. The opaque front plate gives you a more uniform brightness than the EL material alone. For very fast optical systems you will likely need to reduce the brightness by placing some sheets of paper in front of the EL sheet and the frame of the Aurora will keep them secure.
The light from the Aurora Flatfield Panels looks slightly blue/white. Most panels from other suppliers seem to be white to the human eye but the light is in fact made of discrete emission lines. Due to this the flat field EL panels from most other suppliers are not suitable for narrowband emission line filters. Here at Astronomik we have tested the products of all EL sheet manufacturers worldwide and selected these particular EL foils for our Aurora Flatfield Panels because they are the best for astronomical applications. The spectrum of the Aurora Flatfield Panels is not made of some emission lines (like most panels are) instead the EL material used in the Aurora Flatfield Panel has a very broad, continuous emission across the whole spectrum. This fact is what makes our Aurora Flatfield Panels great for narrowband emission line filters.
The three spectra below illustrate the difference between our continuous spectrum EL panels and typical EL panels with light generated with discrete emission lines present.
You can see the very broad emission of the new Aurora Flatfield Panel which is very well suited for the work with DSLR and cooled CCD cameras, working with Broadband or RGB filter and for work with narrow band emission line filters as well.
Benefits of the Aurora Flatfield Panels
- A perfectly even illuminated surface!
- A broad, continuous spectrum which may be used with emission line filters!
- Lightweight and easy to handle
- Inverter for 12V and 110/240V available - suited to both stationary and mobile use.
The brightness of the Aurora Flatfield Panel is matched to work best with typical light intensity levels produced after passing through filters. If you are working with light from the whole spectrum such as when using no filter or only a UV+IR blocked Luminance filter, you will likely have to the reduce the brightness of the panel. The brightness can be controlled electronically to some extent by reducing the input voltage of the inverter (12V inverter only). If the panel is still too bright for your setup, as may be the case with very fast instruments and/or very sensitive cameras, you should place one or more sheets of paper into the frame between the layer of white plexiglass and the EL material. The brightness is very even across the whole surface and it works well for the most critical imaging applications, even photometry or spectroscopy.
The Auroras are round in shape, which is perfect for telescope tubes and the diameters are matched to fit the popular sizes of amateur telescopes. The Aurora Flatfield Panels are shipped as complete ready-to-use sets with a special matching inverter as a normal Wall-Transformer will not work. The Panel is illuminated by the external high voltage produced by the inverter. This high voltage however is produced at very low amperage, so there is no danger to you.
IMPORTANT: Please use the Aurora Flatfield Panels with the supplied matching inverter only. Connecting a panel to an inverter of the wrong size reduces the lifetime of the unit.

Even flat field
The item works well and in my view should include the ND filter. The foil as is was to bright to take flats that were long enough to prevent shutter shadow on my Atik 383 ccd used on my SV80S refractor. So I purchased the ND filter. Once installed in the foil the RGB flats were excellent but the NB filters Ha, OIII and SII requiered extremely long exposures, 480 seconds for a SII flat field. I had to remove the filter and use white sheets of paper in front of the foil and no filter for Ha, OIII and SII flats. RGB flats were achieved by keeping the ND filter in front of the flat field foil and white sheets of paper. Perhaps Gerd Neumann could design a sleeve to place in front of the foil, this would expedite the adding and removing of the filter. It took some additional engineering on my part but I was able to produce good flats for all my ccd filters. The foil does generate a superb flat field that is even across the entire field. If you have a fast system be aware of some issues using this product but the resulting flats are excellent.

This is a reprint from the SEWI ATD Member Spotlight
Authored by ATD SEWI.
Tell us a little about yourself.
I'm a Milwaukee native and I have 3 dogs, 2 daughters and 1 husband. The dogs are Mr. Coconut, Oreo and Butchy. My eldest daughter just graduated Hollins University in Roanoke, Virginia and my youngest daughter will be entering 8th grade. I love Zumba and simply enjoying life. I like to spend as much time as I can with my family and very close friends. I have a natural thirst for learning and helping others be their best.
What is your hidden talent?
Being a consultant my hidden talent has to be the ability to make people comfortable and build trust. Another hidden talent, which sometimes works for me and other times it gets me in trouble, is being intuitive and strategic; being the person that's always thinking ahead and looking down the road, rather than the person who is in the day-to-day. It can be a pro or con, but definitely a talent.
What attracted you to the field of Talent Development?
I was always the person, even at age 16 working at McDonald's, who had the patience to train others, and also the one who could take complex information and make it easy to understand. Maybe because of that trust factor, people just liked learning from me. So I never went into it thinking I wanted to be in talent development. Originally I thought I was going to be an elementary classroom teacher. I've always had a passion for teaching, but then I found it was more at the adult level in a work setting, rather than pure academia, where I can help others succeed. I think as a consultant it's my job to help everyone else look good. In the perfect world, I'm invisible - you don't even know I'm there. I'm there to help my business partners and clients look great and reach their goals.
What is your favorite theory, tool, or process?
Right now, I'm in love with competency modeling. I developed this passion about a couple of years ago, when we were investing in new technology. I started to research working with business partners, trying to figure out where the skill deficits and skill gaps are, to make sure we are securing the best learning solutions. Technology training is extremely expensive, so you want to make sure you are getting the return on your investment. And that original concern has really turned into so much more now. We have been partnering with the company Skill Director, leveraging their tool, "The Self-directed Learning Engine". Partnering with Skill Director allows me to take our learning strategies and build them around competency modeling. There are assessments for individuals, leaders, and peers. From these assessments they can see their skill gaps and create the right learning path to help them fill them. They have choices. They only take what they want to; they take what they need when they need it. I have seen positive results from it. I've actually seen the improvement. That has been what I've really been honing in on. What we are investing in and learning is supporting our overall corporate strategy.
How did you first learn about SEWI-ATD?
I've been a member since college as a student member at Alverno. It is one of those things I always stay close to. Even if I'm not necessarily engaged and going to meetings, I am still periodically checking out the website. I'm also a national member. In fact, I just bought a book, Learning for the Long Run. ATD is sort of the Holy Grail of learning and development. I'm impressed with how they stay current with how learning is changing. They do a very good job of looking at how the learning is reaching the various generations, how that looks, and learning more innovatively.
Just for fun, what are your top 3 most played songs on your iPod / iPhone?
Prince – "1999", Bruno Mars – "24K Magic" and anything Zumba (I'm also a Zumba instructor)
Is there a question you wished you were asked during this interview?
If I could do it all over again and do something other than training, would I? And the answer is…No, I absolutely wouldn't. I truly, truly love the space and love what I'm doing. It does take a while to get to a point in your career where you're doing higher level work. It's one of those jobs you gotta kiss a lot of frogs, but it's so rewarding. It doesn't feel like work for me, I absolutely love it. I think for anyone who really wants to get into this space, that's the kind of passion you have to have.

PMP Certification - Top Tips For Becoming a Certified PMP Manager/
To obtain the PMP (Project Management Professional) certification, there are a number of requirements that you must fulfill. The first requirement relates to your academic education. At the minimum, you must have a bachelor's degree or other equivalent four year degree course. The second prerequisite is on experience and this is where a lot of people seeking the PMP certification often get stuck. You must have at least 4500 hours of project management experience in either one of the five process groups.
The number of project management hours is so important in the PMP certification process that having a high number of hours (at least 7500 hours) exempts holders of a high school diploma from the bachelor's degree requirement. The five project management process groups in which experience counts towards the PMP certification are project initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and control, and closure.click here to download PMP EXPERIENCE CALCULATOR
The next prerequisite for certification is at least 35 hours of classroom-style training sessions related to project management. You will be required to provide supporting documentation for not only this prerequisite but the also the requirement on academic credentials and project management experience.
Having fulfilled all the above listed conditions, you then need to sit for and pass the PMP examination. It comprises of 200 multiple choice questions. The exam can be taken in hand written answer format or as a computer based test. The computer based score is often the most preferred when available as the examinee learns whether they passed or failed almost immediately after sitting the exam. As at 2009, the minimum score required to pass the examination is 61%.
The level of personal planning and preparation for the PMP certification examination plays an important role in passing the examination. The handbook considered the course's primary reading material, the PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge), is over 200 pages long. Add to this the additional auxiliary texts that you would be well advised to read too and you start to clearly see the amount of time that successfully sitting the exam requires. RECOMMENDED MATERIALS : Rita Mulcahy's PMP Exam Prep. Updated
Ensure you also set aside at least $555 USD if you are a non-PMI member or $405 USD if you are already a PMI member, this being PMP certification fees. As with many professional credentials today, retaining the PMP certification is not automatic. Holders must attain a minimum number of professional education hours in order to be recertified. The minimum requirement is 60 PDUs (Professional Development Units) with the term PDU being similar in meaning with the more familiar term CPE (Continuing Professional Education) as used in other disciplines.
To count towards PMP certification, a PDU is deemed as one hour of a planned project management education session.

Paytm, India's largest mobile payment and business platform. On May 19, 2017, Paytm received $1.4 billion in financing from Softbank, which was funded by One97 Communications, which is responsible for its brand operations. The newly raised funds will help Paytm continue to expand on its original 220 million users and provide more financial services products. Paytm's new business, Paytm Payments Bank, has just appointed its CEO and started operations on May 23.
On September 29, 2015, Alibaba and Paytm, India's largest mobile payment and business platform, issued a joint statement announcing that Alibaba Group and its financial subsidiary Ant Financial will inject new funds into Paytm. Ali called this a "strategic" investment.
Ant Financial has acquired a 25% stake in Paytm's parent company One97 Communications in February 2015. Informed sources said at the time that the deal was worth more than $500 million.
In June 2015, two people familiar with the matter said that Ali is in the process of deep negotiations on the shareholding of Paytm. Ali will invest approximately $600 million directly into Paytm, allowing Ali and Ant Financial to hold 40% of the shares held by Paytm, raising Paytm's valuation to $4 billion. [1]
Softbank, along with its long-standing partner, Alibaba, became the majority shareholder of Paytm. In addition, Softbank received a seat on the Paytm board of directors.
India Mobile Payment App Paytm downloads increased by 300% monthly total transaction volume exceeded $4 billion
India's online payment platform Paytm's parent company, One97 Communications, said the total monthly transaction amount of the platform has exceeded $4 billion (approximately RMB 26.518 billion). And Paytm's online trading volume reached a new high in June, reaching 1.3 billion.
Paytm said the platform's average transaction value has increased by 200% and mobile app downloads have increased by 300%.Paytm has seen a significant increase in the number of digital payment applications downloaded in second- and third-tier cities in India, which account for 50% of the total user base. Thanks to the expansion of the Paytm platform, the company's annual online transaction volume reached 5 billion, and the total annual transaction amount reached 50 billion US dollars (about 331.48 billion yuan).
The company's total transaction amount in June last year was US$1 billion (approximately RMB 6.629 billion). However, the company did not disclose the data for April and May 2018. Although the total transaction volume is not a true measure of a company's development, as the largest mobile payment and e-commerce platform in India, this value does reflect the widespread use of Paytm in India.
The company explained that Paytm's total transaction value includes online recharge, bill payment, peer-to-peer transactions using the UPI, peer-to-peer wallet transactions, and all merchandise purchases through the e-commerce platform Paytm Mall or Paytm Payment Gateway. However, electronic payment systems such as NEFT, debit card or credit card settlement are excluded.
Paytm said in a statement: "Since January 2018, the platform has processed more than 400 million UPI transactions. Paytm is rapidly replacing online banking and becoming the preferred payment tool for Indian netizens."
However, these transactions do not bring considerable revenue to the company. For example, according to Deepak Abbot, Senior Vice President of Paytm, in each UPI transaction, the company earned only 25 Pasha (about RMB 0.024). He pointed out: "We don't expect these deals to be profitable at all, it's not even enough for our technology costs. Our goal is to strive to be the preferred application for UPI transactions."
"This is entirely for future sales and cross-selling to consumers. Our long-term goal is to be the only payment app for Indian consumers' mobile phones," Abbott said in a telephone interview.
In May of this year, Indian news site Mint reported that in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, the company's total revenue was 8.286 billion Indian rupees (about 799 million yuan), with a total loss of 1.255%. Indian rupee (about RMB 1.223 billion), including a one-time special project loss of 5.913 billion Indian rupees (about 570 million yuan).
The company also said that the Paytm platform can support multiple language switching, which is another big factor driving the development of the application. The company noted: "A quarter of Paytm users prefer to log in using a local language. In India, Hindi is the most common language after English."
Paytm claims that the company has established partnerships with more than 8 million offline merchants, and by promoting Paytm QR code payments to this large group of partners, the company will power and support India's largest offline payment network. According to the company, in the past year, the number of female users on the Paytm platform has more than doubled, and Millennials are still the most active users of digital payments. In addition, the number of users over the age of 35 has also increased significantly on this platform.

Cyclopropanoid fatty acids are major constituents of some seed oils and also occur in bacterial membranes, but are not synthesized or used by humans.1 Cyclopropenoids, such as sterculic acid, inhibit the enzyme Δ9-desaturase preventing the conversion of stearic acid to oleic acid and potentially causing significant health problems for organisms which consume them. Cyclopropenoid fatty acids have been reported to have several deleterious effects on mammals, such as carcinogenicity and acute and chronic toxicity.2,3 Because of the harmful effects of cyclopropenoids, cottonseed oil (a major world-wide edible oil which contains around 1% of these fatty acids) is required to be heat treated and hydrogenated before consumption.

Working in partnership with Purple Grape Catering and illustrator Jason Brooks, sixredsquares was tasked with creating a branded experience for a pop-up press event to market the Dare to Bare product line. The event was held at the Imago Art Gallery in Mayfair and required transforming the space in to a branded beauty and 'boudoir' experience for prominent members of the press. All outcomes had to follow the existing Revlon brand guidelines and appropriate print and fixing solutions had to be sourced that would not compromise the gallery walls.
Using the Dare to Bare typography style and colour palette, our team created designs that dressed the space in an engaging way. The aim was to brand the space in a consistent and professional way, with quirky features that would make the experience fun and interesting. The pop-up nature of the event meant that it had to be memorable and communicate the brand clearly.
Outcomes included a typographical feature wall and accompanying wall graphics, large-scale product shots and life-size make up props. The illustrations of Jason Brooks were used to decorate the space and incorporated in to functional items such as the screen for the changing area in the boudoir.
Our role in this project was to provide artistic direction and overall creative guidance for the branding of the event space, as well as producing the graphical elements and design. In addition to designing all of the brand elements, the team had to help plan the look of the space and supervise all production and on-site installation.

Book Review: How to Write a Love Story – Katy Cannon
Title: How to Write a Love Story Author: Katy Cannon Publisher: Stripes Publishing Release date: May 3rd 2018 Genre: Young Adult Contemporary
Tilly Frost has grown up reading her grandmother's bestselling romance novels – so when the one and only Beatrix Frost is taken ill, Tilly finishes writing her latest work. Then Tilly agrees to start the next book. But what is her gran hiding from her? And how can Tilly write a heart-pounding romance when she's never been in love? Can she turn her school crush into something more? One thing Tilly should know is that the course of true love never did run smooth…
If you liked FANGIRL, you'll love this!
To be honest with you guys, when I started this book I had some serious doubts. To comment on the last line of the summary, I never read Fangirl and I don't plan on reading it ever to be honest (maybe I should, who knows). So I was quite surprised by how big of a fan I became by the end of this book. It's a fast read and although it didn't blew me of my socks, it still was a really good book.
This book really has a really great story line
This book actually is about so much more than just dating and writing books. It was about friendship and family and I love a good book with many aspects. I also liked all the complex relationships that were portrayed so beautifully in this book. It's quite funny to read a book that is about writing a book but it was definitely a great idea. One thing that can often make me quite sad while reading a book is when I notice that the author had a great idea but didn't take the time to execute it well. I'm happy that I can say that that wasn't the case with this book happy dancing.
Tilly's best friends(Anja and Rohan), the new guy (Zach) and the strange boy in the library(Drew) were the most important side characters that weren't part of her family. Out of them, I definitely liked Drew the most. I don't really know but I liked hes grumpiness from the very beginning.
One little point of critique though. The story was quite predictable and that made the book a little bit less good at some points. It wasn't hard to figure out what would happen most of the time, but, the author still surprised me some times so I guess I shouldn't be complaining!

This year has been one of celebration for Elbow Room. It was our fifth birthday, and you all helped us celebrated with style. September was the release of our 18th volume and our last Elbow Room Live of the year.
Sometime during the year I came to a realisation. It is time to bring Elbow Room to a close. This is not a decision I came to lightly but it is the right choice. Elbow Room has been an incredible experience from the start and it has changed my life but it is time to start making space for new opportunities. However that does not mean this wonderful journey has to end today. Elbow Room means too much to me to simply stop, and so the plan is this…
Two more volumes.
Two more live nights.
One more year of sharing art in all guises.
One year to say goodbye to Elbow Room.
It is with this in mind that I open submissions for volumes 19 and 20. If you have ever wanted to submit to Elbow Room before, now is the time. If you have submitted before but always wanted to again, now is the time. Submissions will be accepted until midnight GMT on January 31st and the full guidelines are HERE.
2018 is going to be an amazing final year and your work is going to be the highlight. I cannot wait to see it.

Developer tools can help you design and develop apps, communicate with your team, and manage your projects. The right tools can make a development project go smoothly.
Developer tools can help you design and develop apps, communicate with your team, and manage your projects. The right tools can make a development project go smoothly.
If you are part of a team, project-management software can help you plan your project, keep track of issues and bugs, and guide you to releasing your software. Microsoft Project, for example, lets team members plan, organize, and manage projects and track budgets. Or Jira, which provides planning, tracking, and reports tools and is designed for Agile project-management teams. You will also want to consider a version-control system that helps manage files and track changes. The Bitbucket version control system, for example, is a companion tool to Jira.
At times, the type of app you build will determine the language you choose -- Swift, for example, is Apple's preferred language for MacOS and iOS development. Some projects, such as a Web app or a dynamic website, may require a collection of components such as a Web server and a database to build a complete package.
Before you start coding, you need an idea of what you're making. A tool like Sketch lets you drag user-interface elements around and choose colors and fonts to create the look of your app.
After deciding on the look of your app, build it in a code editor or integrated development environment (IDE). Some development environments let you visually build your app by dragging around and connecting visual elements. Microsoft and Apple each offer home-grown development environments, and you can find third-party IDEs, including Eclipse for Java development. You can also extend development environments with plug-ins to add support for additional languages, for example. You can also use a text editor such as Sublime or BBEdit to work with HTML or a scripting language.
Sketch is a powerful, easy-to-use tool for designing the look of your app.
The popular Sublime source-code editor can handle multiple languages.
The BBEdit text editor is often the MacOS tool of choice for building apps and webpages.

A practice that is prevalent at the academy is that of a formal, structured mentorship programme called the counsellor groups. The counsellor groups provide informal platforms for interaction between the faculty and the OTs. These interactions are scheduled on a fortnightly basis. As a goodwill gesture and as a courtesy from very senior civil servants, the counsellors host a demi official dinner/lunch for the OTs. We have had one such luncheon this day. The counsellors are guardians for the OTs, their friend, philosopher and guide in times of need. This structure works well. The counsellor group OTs are like a platoon and they participate in various events as a group, competing with other counsellor groups. The tug of war was one such event.
The end term exams start Monday and once again the FC 89 batch is wrestling with Powerpoint presentations of a wide variety of topics. As the marks obtained in these exams count towards determining the final batch inter se seniority which determines the speed at which one is promoted or pushed up the ranks, a lot is at stake for few OTs who have age on their side.
13 days of non-IAS OTs' company left. Less or more is subjective.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words... these pictures are worth more...
The feelings we have had these last couple of days are OVERWHELMING! They are joyous, tearful, amazing, humbling, fearful, tiresome, exuberant, frightening and a bunch more all in the exact same minute of time!
God is Good, ALL THE TIME! I can attest to that firsthand.
I can also attest to the power of Satan.
Ephesians 6:11-12;16 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual host of wickedness in the heavenly places....above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
I guess if I were Satan, I wouldn't be too happy with me. But, I am amazed how easy I fall. How easy I find myself snared in the tools he uses to wear me down. The first one is sleep. I think lack of sleep has to be one of the easiest ways to loose hope, start worrying, become fearful, and "stress out." Then its "others." Things people say, friends, family, or strangers, that are hurtful. Some things of course were not intended to be taken that way, some possibly intentional, but, in the end words are powerful.
Proverbs 12:18 The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
In just four days, lack of sleep, and reckless words have quickly found me angry, easily upset, bitter, frustrated, mean, and a big cry-baby. I too quickly jump the boat. One minute I am singing praises, and the next I am ready to "ream someone a new one." I am thankful for a forgiving God. I am thankful He is still with me. I am thankful He is gracious. I am thankful He quickly has pointed out that HE is all I need, that regardless of my sleep condition, regardless of what people say or do, He is still here. He is still God. He has given me these children, this life, my husband, this house, and He is still holding ME in the palm of His hand. He asks me to trust Him, to have faith in Him, to love Him.
Flesh and Spirit. I repent and then I praise Him, and then I do it again. I have been bought though, paid in full, Satan has no claim over me, or my sins. AMEN!!

Sitting poolside on our last day as I'm writing this. I always am washed with a sadness over me. I have been looking forward to this for a year. Counting down for a year. I have sort of become a hotel snob (I really don't want to admit that, but it's true). Staying in the goose down beds, with a suite as large as our house. It's a beautifully terrible thing.
These vacation are always my favorite. The relaxing, drinking a cocktail, enjoying the sunshine. It's where I belong. I am also a total pro at rocking the lobster tan with peeling skin. It's cute. I know.
Panama City and the emerald coast (living up to it's name) is beautiful. The water screams the Caribbean. It's high humidity and salt in the air gave me a reason to not do my hair. So put down the straightener and welcome the anti frizz serum.
We relaxed, I happily welcomed sleeping close to 12 hours a night.. whoopsie. It was the break I needed. Although I am definitely not ready to step back into reality I do miss my classroom full of hugs and cute kiddos.
A relaxing vacation also means it resulted in little photos. So here are the few snapshots I took this week.
& like I stated, we plan next years vacation either during or right after our current vacation. Back to the Palm Desert we go next year! Cant' wait!

A trial date has been set for two Polish men accused of brutally beating a university lecturer during a burglary in south-west London.
Paul Kohler, 55, was left with serious facial injuries after four men broke into his home in Wimbledon at around 10pm on 11 August and attacked him, demanding money.
Pawel Honc, 23, of no fixed abode, and Mariusz Tomaszewski, 32, of Pitcairn Road, Tooting, south London, appeared at Kingston crown court via video link from HMP Wandsworth.
Judge Susan Tapping told the pair they would face trial on 19 January for grievous bodily harm and aggravated burglary in connection with the matter.
Their trial is expected to last two to three weeks and a preliminary hearing will take place on 26 November, when the defendants will enter their pleas.
The accused spoke only to confirm their names and to say they could hear what was being said in the courtroom.
Kohler, who required surgery for a fractured eye socket following the incident, is a law lecturer at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London.
A 30-year-old male arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary was released on police bail pending further inquiries.
Meanwhile, police continue to search for Oskar Pawlowichz, 29, in connection with the incident after releasing his picture to the public. Pawlowichz is described as 6ft tall, stocky and bow-legged, and walks with a limp.
Scotland Yard has called for the public, and the Polish community in particular, to help locate him.

As a 5'9" 190 lb. athlete, Guadalupe averaged eight yards a carry for the undefeated 1966 and 1967 football teams. He was a varsity member in 1965 as well. Jose set a shot put record that still stands on the WVHS records. After graduation from WVHS, he attended Southern Illinois University before pursuing a career in security at City College of New York. Jose now resides in Manhattan, New York.

Nebula meets its performance goals. Copying files to Atlas takes a couple of days, but the other steps take less than a day in total.
As of this writing we're still in the iterative process of scoring 100K or so pixels, looking at the results, and tweaking the RFI algorithms. The average time to score a pixel is less than a second, so using 1,000 Atlas compute nodes we'll be able to score all 16M pixels in ~16,000 seconds, or ~5 hours.
I've developed web interfaces for browing the top-scoring multiplets and pixels, for drilling down to the component signals, and for displaying waterfall plots of the signals in their time/frequency neighborhood. This gives us a way of spotting obvious RFI.
Currently the input to the SETI@home client is a file of data from a single telescope beam. We plan to change this so that the input file contains data from all 14 beams. This will make it possible to do multi-beam RFI removal in the client.
The goal is not to offload work to the client, but rather to have the client return non-RFI signals that would otherwise be drowned out by RFI. In the current client, if the number of signals above threshold exceeds a limit (typically because of RFI), the analysis is stopped.
There have been proposals to combine the data from other radio SETI projects into a unified framework:
Eventually we'd like to move away from a local SQL database completely. One approach is to store signals in daily flat files. We can then incrementally move these to Atlas,

Michael De Luca has finalized a three-year first-look deal to produce movies for Universal Pictures and will produce the next two "Fifty Shades of Grey" films.
Variety reported April 2 that De Luca was exiting his post as president of production at Sony Pictures and would head to Universal.
"Mike is one of the most talented producers in Hollywood today," said Universal chair Donna Langley in a statement released Friday. "His creative instincts and deep industry relationships will be a terrific complement to our studio. Mike has been an incredible friend and mentor to me for many years, and I'm thrilled to have him on the lot with us."
The move comes in the wake of efforts by newly appointed Sony Pictures chief Tom Rothman to convince his production chief to stay on board. De Luca and Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group president Doug Belgrad had been considered likely successors for the top studio job after Amy Pascal was ousted in February, and both were blindsided by news that Rothman was chosen instead.
De Luca has remained close to Langley since the two worked together at New Line Cinema, where De Luca was president for much of the 1990s. Before De Luca became Sony's production president in late 2013, he had produced a trio of Sony hits with "The Social Network," "Moneyball" and "Captain Phillips."
"I feel incredibly grateful and honored to be returning to the Universal family and build on the wonderful production experiences I've already enjoyed there," said De Luca on Friday. "Donna Langley is not only completely brilliant and inspired in her job but one of the best human beings I've ever had the privilege of knowing. She is truly one of my best friends in the world, and I am beyond excited to work with her, Peter Cramer, Jeff Kirschenbaum, Josh Goldstine and her whole Universal team on this next phase of our collaborations."

Discover America's Number 1 French Wine at The Chanler this February/
We may be in the thick throes of winter at the moment, but warmer weather is coming soon. And while some people choose to rely on days to measure the countdown to spring, we prefer a different approach to passing the time: Wine. Specifically, we're talking about our 2018 Tasting Series at The Spiced Pear, which kicks off this February and continues into April. Up first on the schedule? The Wines of Maison Louis Jadot. Read on to learn more about this elegant event, which will take place on Sunday, February 11th at The Chanler.
About Jadot
The Jadot family purchased its first vineyard, the Clos des Ursules, a Beaune Premier Cru, in 1826. Founded by Belgian Louis Henry Denis Jadot and cultivated by subsequent generations of Jadots and Gageys through a robust policy of acquisition and exceptional management of its vineyard lands, the Louis Jadot win empire continued to grow, and was acquired by the family of its US importer, Rudy Kopf, in 1992.
Today, Louis Jadot comprises 528 acres of vineyards scattered throughout Burgundy, including 280 acres of the Cote d'Or's most prestigious Premier and Grand Cru plots, and lays claim to the well-earned honorific, "America's Number 1 French Wine." Due to its premier reputation, the company has established strong bonds with sommeliers, restaurants, wine merchants, importers, agents and wine lovers all over the world.
About the Event
Those looking to experience the extraordinary refinement of Maison Louis Jadot wines -- complemented by an equally extraordinary six-course menu and setting -- need look no further than The Spiced Pear this February.
The meal will begin with a sushi and crudo duet featuring lobster, avocado, bamboo rice and yuzu with a diver scallop citrus crudo paired with a 2015 Louis Jadot Chablis. It will be followed by turbot a la plancha accompanied by a pear, apple, and fennel salad paired with a 2015 Domaine Ferret Pouilly-Fuissé. Next up for your dining pleasure? Roasted free range quail filled with foraged mushrooms and Vermont chèvre paired with a 2014 Louis Jadot Meursault followed by a duet of veal, including slow-braised veal cheeks and roasted veal loin with bone marrow paired with a 2014 Château des Jacques Moulin-à-Vent. The fifth course will be an indulgent beef stroganoff featuring Prime sirloin and house-made black pepper egg noodle paired with a 2015 Louis Jadot Savigny-lès-Beaune Premier Cru, leading up to a flavorful finish in the form of an exquisite onion and pistachio tart paired with a 2015 Louis Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin.
Throughout this epicurean and oenological adventure, you'll be guided by Christian Dalbavie, French Portfolio Manager Northeast for leading importer of fine wine Kobrand. Christian joined Kobrand five years ago after working for several years as a US brand ambassador for several highly respected French producers.
Whether you're in search of a respite from the mid-winter doldrums or looking for an unforgettable way to celebrate Valentine's Day during the weekend, The Wines of Maison Louis Jadot at The Spiced Pear delivers. Secure your spot at the Wines of Maison Louis Jadot this February 11.

Lauren Wimple, Real Estate Broker
As a North Carolina native, I've been raised in an environment of comfort food, college rivalries, and southern drawls. I've witnessed the Triangle transform into a research and development hub, as well as a mecca for foodies, patrons of the arts, and beer enthusiasts.
After graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Economics from UNC-Chapel Hill (go Heels!), I began my career in real estate with the My NC Homes team. The combination of mentorship from Larry Tollen and Andrew Palumbo, my data driven background, and my knowledge of the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area gives my clients a complete home buying experience.
It is great speaking with clients about Durham, Chapel Hill, and Raleigh. My enjoyment for the many amenities offered in the Triangle area makes discussing and recommending neighborhoods a great part of the job. I like trying new restaurants, and new places are popping up all the time! In addition to exploring the Triangle's events, arts, and social scene, I enjoy traveling abroad; soaking in other sites and cultures. This being said, I'd never want to call any other place home.

Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service has taken delivery of a new aerial ladder platform (ALP) which is the highest in the country.
The new ALP has a reach of 45 metres (one and a half times the height of the existing 30m platform) and has been designed and built to specifications set out by the firefighters who will operate it.
Area Commander Andy Hopcraft said: "The new ALP will help us in a number of situations, whether we need to rescue someone from height or reach an inaccessible fire.
"The 45m reach will mostly be useful for reaching over the tops of relatively low buildings to get access to fires in roofs, within collapsed buildings and at the back of buildings."
The platform is also able to carry more weight than the old model, allowing up to half a tonne of kit, firefighters and casualties to be lifted to and from where they are needed.
The cage at the top is larger than before, allowing wheelchair access and making it easier to rescue casualties.
Cabinet member for community safety, Terry Hone, said: "This is one of the most expensive vehicles we've ever bought for the fire service but we believe it's a great investment. It's been designed by firefighters, for firefighters, and is a big step up in capability for our fire service.
"I'm confident it will make a real difference to our ability to keep both the public and our firefighters safe."
The new ALP will be based at Stevenage Fire Station and deployed to incidents across the county.

EventsRingneck Festival & Bird Dog Challenge
Season Opening
Pheasant Hunting Season opens October 19, 2019.
Pheasants Forever Banquet
Heartland Region Pheasants Forever Banquet, takes place every October. When fall comes in South Dakota, the talk of the town is pheasants. Pheasants and pheasant hunting play an important economic and social role in many small communities in South Dakota. The Heartland Region chapter of Pheasants Forever annual banquet is the week after the pheasant season opener at the Huron Community Campus.
The chapter is hoping that hunters will come to the Huron Community Campus and enjoy the company of other hunters. Pheasants Forever continue to be the leading conservation organization primarily because every dollar raised stays local; thus, every dollar raised at the Huron banquet will stay and be spent in the Huron area.
This year, Heartland Region Pheasants Forever is partnering with the Huron Chamber & Visitors Bureau for a Cooking Contest during the banquet. Pick up entry forms at the Chamber or call 352-0000 for more information.
Dakota Outdoor Gundog Series (D.O.G.S.)
Friendly, competitive shooting sport that matches the skills of the dog with your shooting talents and abilities.
For tournament dates and other information go to dakotadogseries.com or call 605-350-1966.
Pickin' & Pluckin' Jamboree
This event features some of the best pickers in Bluegrass music today! Featured is Huron's own James River Bluegrass Band and the musical talents of base player Barry Bales from Alison Krauss and Jim Mills, former Banjo player for Ricky Skaggs. This group returns each year to participate in the great pheasant hunting available in the Huron area and perform for a worthy cause. Proceeds from the event go to a charitable organization, such as Wounded Warrior Project, PDR Youth Deer Hunt, and the Huron Step Outside Youth Program. It is usually held in early December.
Team Huntress Pheasant Hunt
Team Huntress Pheasant Hunt is held the weekend of pheasant season opener at Pheasant Phun, Inc. in Hitchcock, SD. Women of the outdoors are welcome to come and brush up on hunting skills, and enjoy being pampered.
This weekend is an all inclusive spa pampering outdoor experience. Relax and get away for the weekend!

Facts instead of an estimation: intelligent air filter monitoring has arrived
A visit to the Hanover trade fair is always something special and not least because the exhibition area there is the largest in the world. There are 24 halls and pavilions at the location which have a total of over 450,000 square meters. In addition, there is an outdoor area of some 58,000 square meters. I have been lucky enough to visit the exhibition center many times. The last time was at the end of 2017 to visit the Agritechnika trade fair, the most important and largest trade fair for agricultural technology. So when the trade fair takes place in the capital of the German state of Lower Saxony, everything is booked out. I am always fascinated about the things I see at this leading trade fair. And the same is also true when I subsequently visit the IAA trade fair for commercial vehicles at the end of September. But first things first …
For MANN+HUMMEL both trade fairs are a must. After all, we are an important supplier of filtration solutions for fields which have special requirements for their machinery. As a result, visitors to the Agritechnika were fascinated by the new products we exhibited to a large audience for the first time in Hanover. This will also hold true for the IAA commercial vehicles trade fair. However, one particular product attracted special interest – even though the product does not have a filtration function. Its name is Senzit. What is it all about?
Filters are often changed as a precautionary measure
Let me explain. All air filter elements have to be changed at some point. But to find the right time to do this is a real challenge for the operators of agricultural machines, construction machines or trucks because the time has to be adjusted to take difficult operating conditions into account such as with construction site traffic or in certain regions of the world. There may be information on maintenance intervals, service life and recommendations when to change the filter. But, in contrast to private cars, industrial machines operate under many varying application conditions. The drive to the field or transportation via country roads is hardly any work for a filter.
Use in areas with threshing or on dusty large-scale construction sites, however, creates a heavy load for all filters. But who knows exactly how long and where each vehicle has been in operation and how much dust has actually been retained? Therefore, it is usual before the start of an intensive work operation for contractors to remove the filter, check it, and if necessary blow it out or change it completely as a preventive measure to avoid the necessity of having to change it while in the field. This is because that would waste time and money. Naturally there are signs when a filter is full. But this information is not very helpful when you are already in the middle of the harvest. Therefore it would be more helpful to know in advance whether the planned activity can be carried out or not. And with that we come back to Senzit.
Senzit knows exactly when a filter change is required
Senzit is a new digital "filter" product from MANN-FILTER which is designed especially for off‑highway vehicles. More precisely, it is a smart device, i.e. with intelligence, which is installed directly on the service port of the air cleaner housing. A number of intelligent and robust sensors there record the load status of the air filter. This is continuously analyzed in real time. In this process changes to the ambient conditions such as driving on country roads, use at the construction site or weather conditions and temperature swings are taken into account. Using the measurement data, intelligent algorithms continuously and accurately calculate the remaining service life of the air filter.
The results are then transferred using a mobile app or web portal to the user. This enables the user to receive status information which is easy to understand anytime and anywhere. The user can find out the remaining time the filter can be used, which vehicle is currently in operation, and the current location of the vehicle. All in all, for vehicles with networking capability, the maintenance of filter elements and also other machine components can be exactly planned. This removes the need to manually check air filters, reduces machine downtimes, protects the vehicle engine, and prevents an unnecessary changing of the filter.
After Agritechnika now the IAA trade fair for commercial vehicles
Visitors to the Agritechnika trade fair were very interested in Senzit, especially as the product is compatible with numerous air cleaners and can be retrofitted to an even larger number of vehicles. Shortly after Agritechnika the market launch of the system took place. End customers, but also vehicle manufacturers and OEMs were interested in the system. However, the exhibited stand-alone solution was not totally suitable because modern vehicles already have some of the sensors integrated in Senzit installed in other positions.
But MANN+HUMMEL would not be worthy of its name if we couldn't find a solution to this problem. The corresponding development work is currently ongoing. Now at the IAA for commercial vehicles we will also present Senzit to a wider audience. While Agritechnika primarily addresses the agricultural, forestry, gardening and landscaping sectors, the IAA trade fair for commercial vehicles targets the complete field of commercial vehicles and therefore has a corresponding potential for our company.

What a year 2017 has been. We've played shows in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and numerous shows in our hometown of Melbourne too. I've also had one of my pieces for string quartet performed by one of Australia's finest string quartets, and written a bunch more pieces of chamber music that will be performed in the new year. It's been great. Sincere thanks to everyone who's bought, downloaded, or streamed our music, came to our gigs, or said nice things about us.
We'll be back in the new year with new music, more gigs, and will be trying to get out and about around the country again too. Our first show of the year is Sunday January 7th at The Standard in Fitzroy.
As a holiday gift to you all, here's a complete version of one of our most recent gigs in Melbourne for you to listen to, and download if you like. It's complete with crowd noise, an out-of tune guitar at one point (that'll teach me to try and bend the strings too far whilst using a capo), and our special guest Ryan Brewer on keyboards. Hope you enjoy it.

Always I've been a person who prefers to do what I want in that moment more than what I should do. I've never been a good student, I've never done what the rest of my friends done (like going party every weekend).
I'm a person move by curiosity.
Curiosity about trying something I've never done before and expanded my perspectives. Currently, I am working as a software developer. I discovered I liked coding when my curiosity about football made me create a blog with my friends. This blog made me start coding, learning what's a "brand", learning how to design a "brand identity". Today it's one of my passions.
In recent years I've discovered that I like startups, products and how they evolve. I like the cohesion and beauty in design. I want not only to coding but to go further. Have a global approach, an approach that gives me another point of view. And all this is that, curiosity.
And for that, the next time you get curious about something, let yourself go. I'm sure that along the way you will find many things that you like. Some of them will become your passion. Others will end up discarding.
Don't leave for later what you want to try or for what you feel curious. Always take your time to experience new things and to be able to discover yourself. As I said in my previous article, don't try to figure out your life. Leave that door open, because you never know how far you can go, where your limits are or where those things you wanted to try can take you.
I would love to know any story about you related to curiosity. If you have one, contact me going to my contact page. Thanks for your time and I hope you enjoyed this article.
Have a nice day!

Once Reviews
Latest Reviews for Once
Did you see this?
Tell us what you think!
Once..the musical
Few funny moments and heartwarming scenes superseding monotonous ones.
Written on October, 14th 2014
Absolutely loved everything about this show!
You will not regret it... the music, the acting, the story (funny and touching), etc. was wonderful.
Tip : Arrive a little bit earlier than you usually would (you'll see why) and get good seats if you can afford it financially. I had partial view seats which were less expensive and I still very much enjoyed the show. However, seeing the entire stage during the whole performance will certainly and logically make the experience an even better one.
Can't wait to buy the cast recording!!!

An intimate, moving, different kind of Broadway experience
I expected this to be good given the Tony win, and I wasn't disappointed. We see several Broadway shows a year so I know that this one is unusual in style and tone. The signing and acting are superb. There are a handful of absolutely stand-out songs that are pop/folk and melancholy. My partner had tears as the end, as did several around us. I have to admit that sometimes I was bored and restless, but my partner (who is more apt to lose interest at shows) was very moved by the story and the music. There's also a nice amount of humor. I think some reviewers mentioned foul language- it's very mild compared to shows like "Jersey Boys" or "Billy Elliot". The staging is spare - this type of "small" show depends almost 100% on the talent on the stage, and everyone is outstanding. In lesser hands, this would be a mess.

Hauntingly fantastic
From the moment one enters the theatre, you are part of the play, enjoying the music, sitting in the pub on the stage, moving with the cast. With the first song, one knows that one is in for a heavy time. Haunting music lingers long after the curtain closes. A really fine production.

A Different Love Story
I heard about all the hype, but really didn't know what to expect and was pleasantlyu surprised. I LOVED the show. It was a love story presented in a most unusual way. The staging was very creative and the music exceptional. I thought about it all night and mist of today. I want to see it again!

Once is a unique and magical theater experience
Once was the highlight of my Broadway trip this year. A unique combination of play/musical -- and it landed fantastically on both fronts. In addition, I absolutely fell in love with Steve Kazee, who is fantastic in the lead. And to be fair Cristin Milioti is phenomenal as well (both well earned Tony noms). Loved this show... and love the soundtrack to relive the moments. A+!

Touches the heart and makes you laugh out loud
Once is a intimate, pure and unique show that touched my heart and made me laugh out loud. The voices are superb and the acting is riveting. I loved the simple setting. This show doesn't need any special effects. It made me want to rewind time to see it again and again.

Tender charming funny - a must see!
I really enjoyed this one. The dialogue was fresh and humorous and the music struck the right note throughout. Aside from a few 4-letter words it's great for the entire family. Go see it right away before ticket prices shoot up.

Beautiful Work!
I saw "Once" on Saturday and I was blown away by the sheer beauty of this story. The music is fabulous. The talent of the cast fantastic. "Once" is a finely tuned and beautiful work. The simple staging is effective and helps to keep the focus on the people and their words. There is a fluidity of movement--whether it's characters moving tables and chairs or characters moving each other toward a new purpose or destination of thought. And the lyrics...wow. They are firmly planted in my mind and heart.I was most impressed to see that a musical does not need to have huge effects and spectacle to grab the heart of the audience and hold it close.

'Once' is a must!
I saw 'Once' last night and I loved it! Simple and tender with great music! I felt like I was in an Irish pub from the minute I entered the theater.
The two leads have good chemistry together and the male lead has a wonderful voice.
The backup musicians were excellent as well.
A unique night at the theater!

September 19, 2017, Orlando, FL
Have you ever wondered, "How bad is human trafficking in my city?"
When asked about Orlando, we always reply, "It's bad, very bad." Every day we assist victims of human trafficking and hear their stories. We know how many people FA serves but how does this compare to other cities? Is it worse here? We have not been able to answer that question with factual data until now.
The National Human Trafficking Hotline released a new report comparing the number of human trafficking calls across the 100 most populous cities in the United States.
Orlando ranked 3rd in the country for the number of human trafficking calls per capita. While there may be other cities with more calls to the hotline, those cities are larger than Orlando. This means it is likely that a larger percentage of our population is being trafficked than in most cities.
The report also stated that Orlando ranks #20 for the total number of calls to the hotline for human trafficking.
It breaks our hearts to see so many lives ruined by human trafficking. Florida Abolitionist exists to change that. On the other hand, we are encouraged that so many people know what to do when they encounter suspicious activity. The fact that there are so many calls to the hotline is evidence of 2 things:
- Human Trafficking is a big problem in Orlando
- Orlando is aware of the problem and is responding by calling the Hotline
As a city, Orlando should be encouraged and discouraged. We should be reassured because trafficking activity is not overlooked. People are taking action to reach out for help. However, the fact that so many people need help is heartbreaking. Orlando is a wonderful city – the City Beautiful – and as a city we must come together to ensure that evil like this does not continue to thrive.
One step towards this goal is following great leadership. Our city leaders are coming together to proclaim an end to human trafficking on September 28 at 10 am at Orlando City Hall. Join us for this historic event!

Wisdom tooth extraction in Maple Ridge: Should you have your wisdom teeth removed?
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, tend to erupt in the late teens or early twenties. Most people have four, but some people have less, and in rare cases do not have any. Often times, wisdom teeth don't grow in properly. If they do not have enough to come in, they are considered to be impacted, which can cause a number of problems.
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause difficulty with chewing and eating, as well as develop cavities or painful infections, which can spread to the face, jaw and neighbouring teeth. Often times, these problems will occur before a patient realizes that they need to have their wisdom teeth removed. Some people don't have any issues with their wisdom teeth early on, but problems can present themselves well into the adult years.
At Coast Dental Centre, we do a thorough examination which includes X-rays to determine whether or not extraction is necessary. In general it is wise (no pun intended!) to remove wisdom teeth early on, while their roots are small and before they have erupted or caused any problems. There are fewer risks and chances of complications if removed earlier in the patient's life.
In many cases, all of the patient's wisdom teeth can be removed in one visit. The procedure to remove wisdom teeth will depend on whether or not the teeth are impacted and what type of impaction is present. There are two different types of impaction:
Soft Tissue Impaction: The upper portion of the tooth (the crown) has penetrated through the bone, but the gingiva (gum) is covering part or all of the tooth's crown and has not positioned properly around the tooth. Because it is difficult to keep the area clean, food can become trapped below the gum and cause an infection and/or tooth decay, resulting in pain and swelling.
Partial Bony Impaction: The tooth has partially erupted, but a portion of the crown remains submerged below the gum and surrounding jawbone. Again, because it is difficult to keep the area clean, infection will commonly occur.
Complete Bony Impaction: The tooth is completely encased by jawbone. This will require more complex removal techniques.
Wisdom teeth removal is a common, safe and effective procedure. The extraction can be performed while the patient is under local anesthesia, intravenous (IV) sedation, or general anesthesia. The patient will be given a prescription for medication to manage any pain following the procedure.
