Oh to have no fear! That is my dream! I would travel like crazy if I had no fear. I am petrified of traveling and deeply wish I wasn't. I've missed out on so much and hope someday God delivers me of all fear.

We are to be put total under water to be babtize there is no other way sprinkling won't do it either
on 1/14/08
Ff, I totally understand and respect you, but did you know that there is a way to be baptised with just a few drops of water? The Pastor can even put the water on a cloth and then put the cloth on your forehead, or whatever. There must be a way to get around your fear. I mean, how do you wash your face? or hair? It would be just like that. Good luck to you.

Take swimming lessons!

Perfect Love casts out all fear...The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
on 3/12/06
I understood of FF's reply is to be that if he could get over the fear of water, then he would get baptised. But until he can get rid of this fear he is afraid to be baptised because of the water.
on 3/12/06
Elder, you are so wrong. My fear is OF THE WATER, not of the baptism. Problem I can't have one without the other. There are more things in life I cannot do because of this fear. Baptism is only one of them. If I had told you that I could not go on a fishing boat (and not even mentioned baptism) you would have answered me very differently I'm sure, or possibly you would not have responded to that at all.
on 3/10/06
ff, Marya's fear is of swimming in water yours is in Baptism. The first step of obedience for a New Christian is Baptism. Do you see the difference. My fear is that people will not see the destructive result of disobedience.
I have been to death's door and fear was not there. I have been in jail riots and surrounded by death row inmates.
I have found when you fear God there are many other things you don't fear.

My body is human and not super but I know where my hope lays and it is in the perfection of Christ that has caused me to be able to do things that I would normally be afraid of. You have taken this as a personal attack when it was meant for encouragement. Excuses will not carry you but obedience to God will.
on 3/10/06
If I had no fear I would have boldness.The Bible says that the perfect love of God casts out the spirit of fear. When we love God enough and know that He loves us enough, we will trust Him for everything, we will have no fear. I believe this is a life long battle we have. To completely trust God that no harm could come to us would take a full understanding of His love.
on 3/10/06
Elder, several people posted their fears before I did but you didn't say to them do this or that & trust in the Lord and you'll be able to do it. I'm guessing that Marya's fear is of water also. I wondered whether or not I should post my fear and now realise I should not have. I've been here before but will keep it to myself from now on. You still have not told us your fears though.
on 3/10/06
f.f. there is no doubt in my mind that your fear is real to you.
There are those who are afraid of the dark. That is because they don't know what is in the dark. Turn on a light the fear is gone.
Your fear of water will be greatly reduced when you trust God to take care of you while you are getting baptized.
I have had fear many times only the Lord carried me through.
You can bow down to fear or the Lord.
Go on take one Giant step forward.
Then come tells us about it.
on 3/10/06
Elder I wondered who would be the first to say what you have said and I guessed it would be either you or Eloy. My fear is as real as someone who 'would' take swimming lessons, walk alone at night, raise hands in worship, stop cars and witness in the street, and much more. Fear is fear and if you have none you must be superman; or are you not prepared to discuss yours?
on 3/9/06
f.f., if you would fear God and be afraid of not obeying His commands as much as you fear water you could get Baptised and be obedient in this matter.
on 3/9/06
If I had no fear (of water) I would be baptised.

I would obey God more.
on 3/9/06
If I had no fear I would go out on a busy street stop cars and begin to witness about Almighty God. If I had no fears of failure I would be healing people right and left and casting out demons one after the other. But alas fear of failure is like a stone about My neck. As of today I have only seen three people healed, certifiably so, and only a few people have found freedom from their Devils after exorcism.
on 3/8/06
"If" I had no fear, I would probably be more inclined to raise my hands in worship, shout Amen louder to what the preacher has to say in his sermon, and tell more people about what a wonderful Saviour is Jesus my Lord( sounds like a song?lol)

I would walk more than I drive to the places I have to go I would even walk at night. I would take long walks at the lake by myself just to help clear my mind and ease stress. I also would not fear being in a vehicle. Due to being in three accidents. What pleasure!!!

It was an excellent experience overall. They do beautiful work. Top quality. Extremely kind and courteous Very professional. Several times he took an idea I had and completely created exactly what I had in my minds eye. Did over and above what I asked for. He is very, very talented and I would trust him to build anything for me.

Ridgewood Renovations
We interviewed a few contractors and this company came to us through a landscaping company that we had used in the past. His bid was on the high/middle side, but came back later and offered to do work on the inside and the deck of our home. He came across as very honest and straight forward and his bid was very competitive. I asked him if he was comfortable w/ the bid and I told him if he does a good job I would give him an extra 10%. He then brought us a contract that he used to use for building homes that gave him a 6 month window. I expressed my concern with this in late march and he told me that he planned to be out of there by the first week in may. He expressed to me that with this being such a big job he asked if we could pay him a little bit as he went. The first part of the job w/ the basement and the deck everything seemed to be going well. He hired a few subs that made some mistakes and he said he would take care of them. He then told me that if I could pay someone else to fix some of these he would pay for these expenses at the end. He offered to level a room that we were turning into a gym and I kept asking him when he was going to do this because other portions of the job were being done around this. The night before our carpet was supposed to be laid he went in and used some self leveling material. The carpet was laid and it looked like a dead body was underneath of this so I had to have them pull the carpet back up. He told me to pay the carpet people and he would then lay it after the floor was leveled. We paid for a lot of high end materials for the deck and it is looking really bad w/ boards that are up and crooked spindles. It is now August and this was supposed to be finished in May. The initial bid was fairly competitive, but after he got most of the money the work started to become terrible and I'm going to spend a lot more making up for his mistakes.

Landmark Builders Group LLC
In October of 2018, Landmark Builders Group completed a 6-month long project on our house, which involved the following: 1) a 700-square foot, two-story addition to a house that was formerly 1480 square feet. The addition included a new master bedroom and master bath upstairs, and a new great room downstairs 2) a complete kitchen re-model (new floors, appliances, cabinets and countertops with the kitchen now opening out onto the new great room) 3) our former and rather small master bedroom and master bath converted into a study with a walk-in double closet, adjoining new master bedroom. 4) Re-painting entire interior and new wood floors throughout almost the entire house; re-doing/smoothing out some of the old ceilings, which had a rather cheap and nasty pattern designed to conceal the shoddy workmanship of the original builder. 5) Major landscaping in the backyard with a new patio, sod, retaining walls. So overall this was a very large project and we think we can give a detailed assessment of our experience with Landmark. We chose Landmark because they were local and I had seen a major renovation that they'd done around where my children went to elementary school; later I saw that they were building homes from scratch not that far from where we live. They are a company that usually builds about 4 new houses a year as well as undertaking renovation projects; however, they are not so large that your project is just one of many that they're doing; you will always be able to get in touch with someone when you need to. Most importantly, I could see they knew what they were doing because they'd previously completed many large-scale renovations/additions like the one we wanted. Price-wise, Landmark's estimate was not the cheapest but certainly not the most expensive. We feel we got value for our money and that was confirmed for us by the inspections the construction guy from the bank did. Matt Clark is the owner and he is a truly decent, likeable, honest man. Matt will emotionally invest in your project, go the extra distance to ensure that you're satisfied with his company's work, and he will stay involved throughout. Clearly he's very experienced and can call on a vast network of skilled people throughout the industry to complete every facet of the work. He's open-minded, will listen to what you want, can almost immediately tell you a plan's feasibility, will be straight with you about any problems that might arise, and can offer creative solutions to work around these problems. For the framing and more detailed carpentry work (we had an in-built entertainment center with a lot of bookshelves made, as well as window trim, new French doors, wainscoting etc.), Matt partners with a guy by the name of Bryan out of Ironwood Construction, who is a real perfectionist and was very easy to work with. Kelly, who handled the kitchen and master bath cabinets, was excellent. She offered advice at the right times and had a really good sense of how to maximize the kitchen space and its general appeal by altering the original layout. The plumbing, electrics, a/c and roofing people Matt had were all on time, on-budget and did their job properly, and the landscaping guys went beyond the call. Lisa is Matt's do-everything person as far as offering decorating solutions, purchasing, and handling the money/budget issues are concerned, and she was always very calm and patient, even when things were chaotic either on our site or another one they were building on. With the drywall, plastering and paint, I was never sure if Matt's guys were not up to par or whether it was just the fact that the drywall and plastering is the nastiest, messiest and most drawn-out part of a renovation/addition like this. The point with the drywall, plastering and painting though was that if there was something I saw that I didn't like or thought was poorly done, I'd tell Matt or Bryan, it would be taken care of and that would be the end of it. That was the case with the bathroom tiling too: the guy Matt usually has was overseas and his replacement wasn't up to the job, so Matt waited for his main man to come back and ate the cost of some of the work having to be undone and then re-done properly. Everybody who's going to drop a lot of money on a big renovation is going to be nervous about whether or not they're choosing the right people to do a job like this, because it's your house, a lot of money is going to change hands, and so much could potentially go wrong. Everyone who gets work done on their place has heard or read a horror story or two about rogue contractors who either do an awful job, leave you in a lurch, or who at worst take the money and run. None of these things will ever happen with Landmark. We love how our house now looks, and it's so nice being able to live so differently due to the added space and being able to enjoy how great everything looks. So overall we had as pleasant an experience as it is possible to have under such circumstances, and we recommend Landmark highly. BEEN-THERE-DONE-THAT-LEARNED FROM OUR MISTAKES ADVICE OUTSIDE SCOPE OF REVIEW: 1) Deep down everyone would love to enjoy the personal touch of an independent master craftsman whose prices are miraculously generous and who is going to spend every waking hour throwing him or herself into your project. The problem is, those people only exist on TV shows, so if you have a big project, get a bigger company to do the work. You don't want to hire someone who is full of good intentions but who will without warning take another job that comes up or who doesn't have the resources to get the project completed on time. One previous experience with a two-person business to tile and paint a powder room taught us this. 2) If you don't like how something looks or if you think it's been done poorly, say so and keep saying so until it's been done properly. That doesn't mean being an uptight perfectionist about everything, but if you don't say something, no one else will, and you'll end up wishing you had made a bit of a fuss. Just try to be nice about it and it'll work out. 3) Having this amount of work done on your house is a highly disruptive, stressful experience no matter how smoothly everything runs, and our project went pretty smoothly, with no major setbacks or nasty surprises. Even so, there were times when I understood why many people just decide to sell their house as is and buy somewhere else when they want more space for a growing family. We however like where we are and saw the potential to add a nice extension to what we had, and I don't think we'll ever regret doing so. In short, we love the way our house is now and it's so nice to live in it. Just know though that if you decide to do a major renovation, be prepared for emotional highs and lows, try to keep as calm as you can, and most importantly, find another place to live for as long as you can afford to while the renovations are going on. After a while, you won't be able to put up with the dust, the lack of a kitchen, the noise and the general disruption. Plan ahead and be prepared to spend money renting a real home you can stay in for as long as you can afford it (depending on what kind of financing you're getting, you might even be able to work out an arrangement with your bank to put of mortgage payments until you move back in. Although that means the interest compounds and it costs extra, it might save you on things such as your sanity, your happiness etc.).

Any business interested in making strong investment decisions can learn a thing or two about funds management from experts such as Guillaume Jalenques de Labeau of Mansartis, an experienced wealth management company. Funds management is vital to the success of any corporation, or really any organization from the family unit to nonprofit organizations and everything in between. Having enough funds available to overcome challenges and maintain burgeoning operations, while investing wisely for a strong future, is what every business or unit wants. According to such top experts, the key is supporting a team- approach to investing and clearly defining an investment philosophy that looks at the long-term financial future. There are a few essential ingredients that make this kind of investment model possible.
An Analytical Foundation
Analysis is the foundation of any solid funds management plan, and performing analytical functions must involve a team of experts making the decisions. Choosing stocks and managing funds can't be performed in a vacuum – multiple eyes, ears and minds are always better than one. Picking stocks from the ground up with a team-oriented approach ensures the best possible chance for success.
Communication of Expertise
Building a strong investment portfolio and funds management plan involves a team approach, and involving the whole team requires a sharing of knowledge each time an important decision needs to be made. Communicating valuable expertise every step of the way keeps stakeholders involved and engaged with the process. Sharing expertise ensures stakeholder buy-in, a high level of transparency and the kind of honest professionalism that keeps businesses successful well into the future.
Diverse Portfolio Design
Experienced funds managers know that diversification is key to reducing risks for clients. Before making an investment plan and agreeing to any allocations of wealth, it's important to define the highest acceptable levels of risk and then design a diverse portfolio accordingly. The fewer diverse components you have in your portfolio, the higher risk you take as your smaller number of investments continue to mature.
Lack of Bias in Investment Choices
A good funds manager knows it is essential to be open to new investment styles and open to new ideas to maximize returns. Being tied to one specific investment style or benchmark can be limiting if you truly want to capitalize on the conditions of the market. This is different from having a diverse portfolio design – being unbiased means being open to adding new components to your portfolio that are outside of the traditional investment schemes.
Long-Term Investment View
Building a successful corporate investing model requires a combination of enduring value, increasing returns and ongoing momentum. Short-term investment views, on the other hand, may involve inappropriate risks and limited views on portfolio allocation. It's important to consider what an organization needs to be successful and continue to grow and innovate right now, but more importantly the organization needs a plan to maintain success well into the future. Funds management experts agree that a long-term approach to investing is really the only way to go.

Howard Angry After Richard & Sal Caught Crossing Streams
Lisa G reported that Richard and Sal were caught peeing into the same toilet bowl again--with the seat down--so Sal came in to explain:"I have to leak in a toilet because I have to wipe my foreskin...I'm not blaming Richard for having to pee with me, but he--it was odd that he had to share a tiny stall with me. That was a little peculiar."
Howard was repulsed by the practice: "That's so f'ing gay."
Howard Draws the Line at Stream Crossing
Richard came in to say he and Sal weren't gay for peeing together: "We weren't doing it to be wild and crazy. No one was even in there. I just like being with him. We talk about stuff." Howard disagreed: "Oh my god. You're f'ed up, man. And I know you're trying to be funny now..." Richard insisted he wasn't: "No! It's not a funny thing. I just love doing stuff with Sal." Howard didn't want to hear it: "You two are not to pee together anymore. Period. It's over." Sal tried to get Howard to reverse his decision, starting: "Oh that's..." But Howard cut him off: "No. Bullshit. You're going to fight for that? That's important to you? To see his cock every day? You asshole...I don't care about the two of you and your high jinks. Listen, worry about being funny on the air. This is off the air--it's where people have to pee. They have to sit on those seats. It's over."
Keep Your Fluids to Yourselves
Richard swore that he and Sal had cleaned the toilet seat afterward with toilet paper, but Howard was too repulsed to care: "You guys make me have to be daddy around here. I'm the crazy man. I'm the wild man of radio and you're forcing me to become rational...you're going too far. We're getting into a dangerous area."
Robin agreed: "You can't be throwing your bodily fluids around."
Sal somehow thought stream-crossing was helping the show ("We're boosting your crazy meter."), which only made Howard angrier: "This is a big joke to you…no? This is just gross. Have some respect for us. I'm talking about your fellow workers. No. I don't want you in the same stall. There's no reason for it. Gay lovers don't piss with each other. This is bizarre. Come out of the goddamn closet if that's your problem. Go suck each other's dicks and stick your dick in his ass."

Another Nor'Easter blew into town. I think this is our 4th with snow but we've been having them since about November. In November and December they were massive rain events. Let's just say I do not want to hear about a drought this summer.
I'm really hoping to get out and play in the snow today. I did manage to get in a snow angel before starting my work day. It's good to feel like a junior Troll everyone once an a while.
My homeland of Norway is doing pretty good in the Olympics in Vancouver. What can I say my people are built for rugged snow conditions. We've got a total of 19 medals so far. Gratulasjoner Norge!!!! My new home country isn't doing to bad either. The USA has 32 medals to date. It's all been rather exciting! Må se fjernsyn.
Well I'm sure I'll have lots more pictures and stories about the snow. Have a safe day!

That's the sweet spot. That's where good ideas come from.
We are experiencing a shortage of noble risk-taking, bold ideas. People have become complacent with comfortable. They would much rather be told what to do than to investigate and think about things.
Do you want to get noticed? Notice things and execute the ideas that come to mind.

As I was reading the paper, I noticed there is a hater among us!!!
The guy (Michael Massa) thinks that the government should go after the people who register their cars in Pennsylvania. I get it. I really do. But, shut the hell up. Snitches get stitches! I don't have a car at the moment and never registered in PA, but I understand why people do it. NYC is outrageously expensive! If you can get away with it, why the hell not? It is so expensive to register, insure and maintain a car out here. Lets not forget that you can barely park ANYWHERE! Which means more tickets and you will still need to have a metro card.
I do understand this guy's aggravation, but I am guessing he has the resources to do everything by the books. I am sorry Mr. Massa (really his name) although the city is going broke, a lot of PEOPLE are already broke.

"Stranger" by Naama Tsabar, is a video work featuring two musicians, who negotiate the use of a new instrument comprised of two chromed plated electric guitars put together at their back. The act of multiplying serves almost as a handicap, imposing new movement and sound. Throughout the video the performers explore the use of the object both separately and together, resulting in a dance that moves at once through gentle and violent states. Establishing a new kind of intimacy, they explore the relationship between two bodies that hold one shared border.
Opening hours during Art Basel: Dec 5 – 10, 10am – 6pm; Dec 9, 10am – 12pm

A medical emergency can occur at any moment and may leave an individual in California with little choice but to visit a medical facility. Unfortunately, with the extensive costs of treatment, a single visit to the hospital can have devastating financial ramifications. Those who experience hardships due to substantial amounts of medical debt may suffer a lesser quality of life for extended periods, and they may wish to explore the benefits of seeking relief through the available outlets, such as bankruptcy.
Medical debts remain a serious concern for many individuals, insured and uninsured alike. Even those who carry health insurance policies may be reluctant to visit the hospital, as the costs of medical care could still leave them facing significant financial obligations due to high deductibles. However, a person might not always have a choice in the matter, and a sudden emergency could force one to take on substantial amounts of debt.
Individuals who experience financial concerns due to a medical emergency may also suffer hardships in other areas of life. These issues could leave one with insufficient income to cover the costs of everyday living, and one could feel forced into depleting his or her savings in an effort to keep up with financial obligations. Dipping into savings or seeking additional lines of credit to help cover the costs of medical care might only lead to additional concerns in the future, and one may instead find it advisable to seek a more long-term solution.
Individuals who struggle to deal with overwhelming amounts of debt may wish to pursue relief, but they might be uncertain where to turn for guidance. When facing similar concerns, a person could consult with a bankruptcy attorney for advice on the available outlets for relief, as well as their potential outcomes. An attorney can help a client in California form a strategy to pursue relief from debts and work back toward financial stability.

Hi Everybody,
I have joined this forum purely so I can comment on the Nomad Power Supply mod as detailed by soundguruman. I normally just lurk, cherry picking gems magnanimously proffered by other benevolent forum posters, but no-one has posted any post mod feedback so I decided to go for it and give soundguruman the credit he deserves.
I hope its ok to resurrect such an old thread...
Also, its a long post, but there is a lot to say...
I bought my Nomad 45 112 about 10 years ago after I played a gig where the back line was provided and to my surprise I was supplied with a Nomad 55 212 to use on stage rather than the cheesy amp I was expecting. I really liked the amp for the time I had to use it during the gig. Obviously there wasn't too much opportunity to tweak and play but I just plugged in, switched to channel 2 and just used the volume on the guitar, not knowing about the solo switch and didn't bother with channel switching as I'd only had time to set up the one second channel. I liked the way the amp cut through on stage and in the mix so decided to get one for myself (I'd always promised myself I'd get a Mesa Boogie one day and that day had come!).
I opted for the 45 112 for its size and convenience for gigging and smaller stages. I was unaware of the EL84/6L6 difference in the power stages.
I re-tubed with JJ matched quad EL84s and high gain 12AX7 preamp valves. The amp sounded ok but didn't blow me away and certainly didn't seem to have the clarity of the 55 I initially tried. I don't know if 55 amp was stock and just a lucky good sounding one. There seems to be quite a lot of variation in both sound and reliability in the Nomad range from what I've read online.
I came across this forum and the "mud mods". People were raving about how the mods brought the amp to life so I thought I'd give it a go. The mods certainly improved the darkness issue and gave the amp more "airy" breath and top end and yet it still didn't quite sound right. Kind of edgy and brittle?
I did the reverb mod too and whilst this made the reverb more audible on the overdrive channels 2 & 3 it was quite horrible and distorted on the clean channel where it had sounded lush previously.
Years later (now) I decided to reverse the reverb mod and so looked up the page I bookmarked with the mods on in case I wanted to un-mod at any time in the future. This was when I came across the mod suggested by soundguruman to replace some of the electrolytic capacitors in the power supply. I read his description of the problems caused by the power supply design. His conviction that this was indeed why the amp didn't perform as well as could be expected made me curious to try it.
I located the schematics on line to be able to interpret the instructions.
I have to concur that this mod is not for the faint hearted or inexperienced (I am an IT technician and ex wireman and comms engineer so have access to a temperature controlled soldering iron and solder sucker). It took a while finding the right diameter capacitors with the correct lead pitch but a company called Semicom in the UK and on eBay had both the 47uF & 22uF electrolytic capacitors in 12.5mm case diameter with 5mm lead pitch, 450V rating, 105C temp rating & 20,000 hours MTBF Nichicon manufacture. First of all I reversed the previous "mud mods" to put the amp back to standard
There is a lot of work required to be able to get to the underside of the board. This is necessary to be able to de-solder and re-solder the radial electrolytic capacitors.
As soundguruman suggested none of the other mods are needed after the power supply is sorted by stiffening.
The modded amp is completely different! The clean channel now has some sparkle. Its easier to hear the tone controls working. It sounds much nicer when "pushed" and overdrives warmly and is more rounded.
The overdrive channels - channel 2 is now thick and fat but warm too, much creamier; channel 3 is now usable! It has more bite and clarity rather than just fizzy mush. It can be very heavy!
When cranked the amp just seems to get nicer as the output increases. I haven't had a chance to try it in a band environment but I've found myself playing, sat in front of the amp just listening to the tone and dynamics. I don't know if anyone else has tried this mod but I just had to comment as no-one else has. Having tried both approaches I felt compelled to join up and post this for anyone else who isn't satisfied with their Nomad, but like me feels that the amp could sound so much better
Soundguruman said to another poster that they would thank him after performing this mod; I haven't seen a reply but I signed up purely to be able to do that - THANKS Soundguruman you've certainly lived up to your username in my experience

Re: Still loving my Nomad ...
Did the cap augmentation posted by soundguruman and the amp can deliver considerably more low end punch, where before it just went to mush. Checking other mesa 100 watter schematics I noticed that all of them have two or three times total capacitance on these nodes than the nomad does. It looks like mesa wanted to experiment with making the amp spongey by using smaller caps. I like dual recs in tube rec mode, but the nomad just lost too much fun as it was.
Removing the board is pretty difficult. Much easier to piggyback more caps over the nodes, or strap in the caps near the air vents and run leads.

Mumbai: It was a striking coincidence, as the Union Minister for Railways Mr.Suresh Prabhakar Prabhu was holding a comprehensive Review Meeting with the General Managers of various zonal Rail systems at Railway Board, New Delhi today, on the frequent accidents and derailments of passenger trains on IR, thousands of commuters were left in the lurch in Mumbai as several coaches of a Western Railway suburban local train derailed at around 11 am on Tuesday near Vile Parle station.
Seven coaches of a local train today derailed between Andheri and Vile Parle stations in suburban Mumbai, disrupting traffic on the busy route linking Churchgate in South Mumbai to Virar.
The incident took place at 6.55 pm when an up local coming from Bandra derailed while entering platform number two of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) during peak hours, the official said.
Since the train was running at a low speed no injury or casualty has been reported, Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO), Western Railway, Sharat Chandrayan said.
The train coming from Borivili to Churchgate derailed at around 11 AM between Andheri and Vile Parle stations, the second such incident involving local trains in as many days.
A team of engineers and rescue officials have rushed to the spot to restore the services, the CPRO said.
An inquiry would be conducted to ascertain the cause of the derailment, he added.
Meanwhile, trains on Western Railway have been massively disrupted. Trains on platforms 3, 4 and 5 on Andheri station have been cancelled for now.
However trains on the slow track seemed to be running again after a short delay, according to several users on Twitter. Harbour line trains are said to be running as well. A probe has been ordered to ascertain the reason behind the incident, he added.
With spate of train mishaps remaining unabated, Union Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu has summoned all zonal heads to brainstorm on Tuesday for remedial actions. The move has come in the backdrop of alarming rise in incidences of train mishaps in the last one year. "The single point agenda of the meeting on Tuesday of the general managers in Indian Railways is to discuss the issue of safety. Besides Mr Prabhu, the full Railway Board will participate in the meeting. The meeting has been called to produce actionable plans with timeline to mitigate the spate of train mishaps," said a senior ministry official.
There has been no month in the last year when there was no mishap. The rising incidences of train mishaps involved cases of trains washed away in MP to unabated killings of passengers and commuters in accidents at both manned and unmanned level crossings.

I LOVE Joe Rogan's podcast as well as his stand-up comedy. He's smart as hell, opinionated and downright funny. Saw him live once and he's a presence on stage. The guy brings it, every night.
I love Tom Papa's standup. Observational stuff on life, kids, marriage,etc. The kind of humor that sneaks up on you.
Two funny guys talking about tons o' things, in addition to comedy. I love it. Check it out HERE.

After seeing a number of Haute Couture shows this past week, I challenged myself to imagine the different Mise-en-Scènes possible at the various venues.
One of the amazing things about this initiative, is that it could take ANY shape or form.
These are meant to require minimal production efforts, just enough to send a strong and lasting message about the new-coming brand.
Imagine a performance involving as little as one model, changing outfits behind a screen on the runway. Or a video projection with some tactile components in the space. Or some actors creating characters around the backstory of the collection. Or a few girls voguing in the middle of the runway.
Whatever the spirit of the brand, the presentation will take on a form to suit them. Theatrical, impactful, Moving, Conceptual, Ostentatious. The standards must be held high, both to honor the host brand, and to cultivate the state of mind for the next generation of knock-your-socks-off runway designers.
We all know that there are certain collections that fall flat on the runway, and are better reserved for the showroom racks. This is the kind of show that has made fashion week the mess of overbooked madness that it is. As spectators, Journalists, Buyers, and other Creatives, what is better than to see a show that moves you? The kind of show that takes on a life of it's own.
Let's add another opportunity for creativity and excitement during this week of wonted chaos and routine.
Who wants to go first?

Install Added Security Features
Installing a home security system or even just exterior lights that run on timers is a good way to ramp up security around the old homestead and make your house safer whether you're around or not. One of the nice things about these features is that they're working when you're awake, asleep, on vacation or hosting an outdoor barbecue. They fade into the background as far as you're concerned, but still make your property less attractive to opportunistic thieves.

Despite the fact that You Read to Me and I'll Read to You functions as a companion to her earlier anthology, it is not, as Schulman says in the introduction, more inside the identical. This excellent, positively historic collection with the crè me de la crè me of read-aloud stories belongs on every bookshelf. These stories, from William Steig's Amos and Boris and Daniel Pinkwater's Blue Moose to Freckle Juice by Judy Blume and The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith, were carefully selected depending on their appropriateness for reading aloud. Even the beloved, silly The Piggy inside the Puddle.

2:55 PM | Heavy showers and strong thunderstorms to pound northern Maryland as widespread significant rain event gets underway
Paul Dorian
Heavy showers and strong thunderstorms have broken out across northern Maryland and thus begins our widespread significant rain event. These current showers and storms will pound northern Maryland from Baltimore north and east over the next two hours. Additional showers and storms will occur overnight throughout the DC metro region and this prolonged rain event will likely continue off and on into Tuesday with some impressive final rainfall totals of at least a few inches in spots.

King Afonso V of Portugal promoted the exploration and conquest of Africa; this earned him the nickname 'The African'.
"It is not that I'm so smart. But I stay with the questions much longer." - A. Einstein.
Afonso V was born in 1432 and became king of Portugal in 1438, when he was very young to rule and in fact, a regent had to be put in place until he reached adulthood; his father, king Duarte I, appointed Afonso's mother, Leonora de Aragón, as regent, but being a woman and a foreigner, she wasn't accepted and her mandate was unlawfully revoked after a mutinous situation reached the verge of disaster. Instead of her, Afonso's uncle, Dom Pedro, Duke of Coimbra, also know as the Infante das Sete Partidas, became the acting regent[1.171][1.172][164] after a meeting of the Cortes.
Political disputes
The Duke of Coimbra tried to concentrate power on the monarch by weakening the position of the aristocracy; that, naturally, produced some political troubles. A major political dispute emerged as a consequence of this, including a feud between the Bragança and Coimbra families, that ended with Pedro being declared an enemy of the state, the nullification of all his decrees as a regent, a civil war and the death of the duke at the battle of Alfarrobeira; apparently, Dom Pedro died in combat but the idea that his death could have resulted from a disguised murder attempt was never discarded. The conduct of Afonso and his allies was condemned by the rest of the European powers, but time passed and eventually things returned to relative normality.
The House of Bragança gained much power and influence during the early years of Afonso's rule; in fact, the country was in many aspects in the hands of the forst Duke of Bragança, also named Afonso. In later years, the successor of Afonso V, João II dedicated his time to persecuting the members of the House of Bragança, in part due to the conspiracies in which they were involved during Afonso's rule[169].
Family, descendants and traits
As it is the case, producing descendats is a matter of state in any kingdom, and with Isabel Peres de Coimbra Afonso V had three children:
João Afonsez (1451 - 1451).
Juana Afonsez (1452 - 1490).
João II (1455 - 1495), king of Portugal (see João II, the perfect).
Note that his wife was from the House of Coimbra, despite that he was very influenced by the House of Bragança; in fact, Isabel Peres de Coimbra was one of the daughters of Pedro de Portugal, the uncle of Afonso who was killed at Alfarrobeira[1.173].
This was pretty characteristic, and in order to understand what happened back then it is important to understand that families in such position of power did not work like our modern Western conception of the familiar institution prescribes. Sometimes familiar relationships were good, but it was all business after all. In the case of our ancestors we have found other similar cases, like when some members of the Mascarenhas family had Lopo Vaz de Sampaio sent to jail for business-related issues in the colonies of India, despite the fact that Maria Mascarenhas was married to Lopo's son (see Dom Lopo Vaz de Sampaio, Knight, Explorer, and Governor of India).
As I said elsewhere in this series of articles, in my family love-based-only marriages have always been frowned upon, and it is precisely for these causes (see Guttle Schnapper). Even outward demonstrations of affection are either discouraged, or apparent coldness becomes part of the traits required for leadership. This is very useful for things like negotiations in which your opponent tries to read your mind - they can't. On the downside, it can be bad if you want to seduce a woman or let a woman approach you, for instance, for it sends rather confusing non-verbal "body language" messages. But since nobody ever cared about that because marriages were always arranged, so here we are as we are, and the House of Avis was indeed no exception.
Most people would certainly not like this kind of conduct, but it came to be as a necessity, as a trait required to deal with certain things. The other trait that evolved was secrecy, and that brings us to the next aspect of the story.
African exploration and conquest
In the years following the death of Dom Pedro, his uncle, Afonso V turned his attention to north Africa and successfully committed his armies to several campaigns of conquest, like Ksar es-Seghir (Alcácer Ceguer) which was until then an impregnable departure point for Moorish attacks to southern Europe in 1458, after an attack mounted with more than 200 ships and 25.000 men, Anafé (1464) and Arzila, attacked with about 480 ships and 30.000 men in 1471, Tangier and Laraxe (Larache); these victories earned him the nickname "O africano" (The African); he continued to promote the exploration of the Atlantic coasts of the African continent, with the ultimate goal of finding a way around Muslim-held territories.
Seizing those strongholds served well to protect the flanks of the then expanding Portuguese naval ventures. Moreover: seizing ports along the northwestern African coast would give more security to the ships attempting to go south. In the event of trouble, they could find friendly harbors more easily.
In order to continue with meaningful explorations the incipient Portuguese armadas that were venturing into the ocean during the XV century required charts and maps, but also to keep everything under deep secrecy in order to maintain a competitive advantage over rival nations.
Fra Mauro's Mapamundi
He also commissioned Fra Mauro to create a Mapa Mundi (see The mapamundi of Fra Mauro), the first modern map of the then known world. The map was finished in 1459 in Italy with eerie precision before Columbus made his trips or the Portuguese fleets sailed around Africa, but never reached Portugal and was apparently lost. My guess is that at court level, more things were known about the world that we assume today, but such knowledge was held as state secrets for different reasons.
Fra Mauro's mapamundi deserves an extensive study of its own, but the fact that it was created by request of the Portuguese king and seems not to have been anything particularly surprising except for the fact that it was handed in secrecy, this fact alone suggests that indeed, there was more knowledge about the world at that time than we currently assume. Or perhaps, the lack of concrete evidence but strong leads led them to think about Earth much like we do now about exoplanets and the possibility of finding life outside our own planet.
Fra Mauro was in the process of making a second copy of the mapamundi when he died; his assistant, Andrea Bianco, completed the work. This copy still exists today and is located at the Biblioteca Marciana, in Venice. Some conspiracy theories have been proposed regarding the creation of such cartography, expeditions in the ancient world and the middle ages, and even UFO visits, but really there is nothing strange regarding this: Indications about the true nature and shape of Africa already existed and well-educated people, such as royals and nobles of the time were aware of the books and testimonies that described such things.
The fact that the king of Portugal had Fra Mauro make a map entails no mystery; it is a perfectly explainable thing considering the grand strategy of the Portugese back then. Fra Mauro made a remarkably precise map but there is no need to bring aliens to explain this part of history because this simply means that the knowledge at hand was better than normally assumed.
Some might ask why then society was so primitive at the time, but there is really no mandatory correlation between what was available to the élite and what was available to the masses, much like today we still see religions peppered with superstition while quantum mechanics and multiverse theories are being developed at full swing. In other words, how common people lived, what they knew or how they saw the world has nothing to do with the creation of precise cartography such as the mapamundi, because that depended on the ideas and intentions of the élite classes that were on a completely different league, not on the standards of the mostly illiterate peasants and burghers.
The standards of the masses only define worlds when knowledge and aspirations are being held down; progress is never initially a matter of masses, but, by definition, an issue that depends oand grows from financial, intellectual and political élites. In other words: If we want to learn about the true state of knowledge withing a certain historical framework, we should not look upon the common people as refernces, but take the aristocracy of the time as a guide. On a later stage, knowledge does permeate into the masses, but discovery and exploration is more usually than not a game of those having some social, intellectual and financial standing.
So, a kingdom is ruled by what is on the king's mind and not by the ideas of the ordinary subjects, for better or worse.
Later years
Later in his reign Afonso had to face problems regarding succession and the relations between Portugal and the kingdom of Castile. These troubles ended with an understanding about the division of power and territories in the Iberian peninsula and the Atlantic ocean, as these nations were on their way to become the superpowers of their time.
During the last years of his life, Afonso suffered from depression; he abdicated and moved to a monastery at Sintra; he died there in 1481. We are directly related to him via the Lancastre and Schoenberg / Belmonte family branch (see Dom Iago de Sampayo y Belmonte) so Afonso V is our 16th great grandfather.

The fifth and final event on the B.C. Cup calendar took place at Mount Washington last weekend, with cross-country, downhill and four-cross events taking place in some of the worst weather competitors had seen all summer.
For many riders the Island Triple Crown was the last chance to earn points towards the overall B.C. Cup standings, and after the races champions were crowned in each of the competitive categories.
Three Whistler riders made the champions list this year with strong performances in the last race of the season Under 15 cross-country athlete Brandon Semenuk, Master 40 and Over Expert cross-country rider Eric Crowe, Junior Expert rider James Crowe, and Senior Elite downhiller Brook Baker.
Brandon Semenuk, 13, finished second out of 11 riders in the Under 15 race, just four seconds back of 15-year-old Sean Stanhope.
He was ahead of Stanhope in the overall standings heading into the finals but with only four out of five results counting in the standings and the results of several competitors in the Under 15 category not counting in the standings because the riders werent carded Stanhope was able to pull even with Semenuk in the final race. With both riders tied for points at the end, the edge went to Stanhope for winning the B.C. Cup finals.
Still, Semenuk was positive about his race, given the muddy conditions, the short course, and the fact that he had a rock lodged in his cleat from the start line and his foot kept popping off the pedal.
"It was pretty good. It was a pretty close race, and it was fun chasing Sean around," said Semenuk.
According to Brandons dad, Mark Semenuk, Stanhope was physically sick after the race because he had to work so hard to hold off Brandon.
"Brandon really put it to him for the entire race, and I think if he had a chance to pass Sean he would have, but coming into the finish it was Brandon who was really setting the pace out there," Mark said.
If Brandon had the race again, he says he would have done a few things differently.
"I would have tried to pass Sean earlier, before we got onto the single track. It was really hard to pass on the single-track section, and I tried a couple of times to get by him but there wasnt room. The single-track section also basically went to the finish, so there wasnt a good chance to really pull ahead."
Eric Crowe was in the same position as Semenuk heading into the final race of the season, tied for the lead with another rider. Crowe came out strong, winning the race by a margin of more than two and a half minutes to claim his second consecutive provincial title.
His son James Crowe also had a strong season against some tough competition in the Junior Expert category, finishing fifth on Saturday and third in the overall standings.
Jodie Hopkins raced in the Master 30 and Over expert womens final, finishing sixth in her category.
Trevor Hopkins was sixth in the mens Master Expert 30-39 group, Tyler Dumont was 10 th , and Craig Hill 11 th .
Mike Charuk was fourth in the Master Expert 40 and Over category.
Joining Semenuk in the Under 15 category were members of STORMBC (Single Track Off Road Mountain Bike Club). Tyler Allison was fourth, Nicholas Geddes seventh, Frazer McGaw ninth and Colin Westeinde 11 th .
In the Under 15 womens race, Calindy Ramsden of STORMBC was third.
In a long and muddy downhill race on Sunday, Whistlers Brook Baker finished eight seconds back of Adrienne Miller in the Elite category to once again claim the overall provincial title.
This was Bakers first year racing in the elite category, although she did win the Junior Expert title for the previous two years.
In the mens Elite race Whistlers Chris Dewar finished third overall. Adam Billinghurst was seventh.
Squamish rider Ryan Vanderham continued to dominate the Under 15 category, but STORMBC riders pulled in some solid results as well. Tyler Allison was eighth, Nicholas Geddes 10 th , Colin Westeinde 15 th and Frazer McGaw 17 th .
The B.C. Cup title is no longer the official provincial championship title. Those titles were awarded earlier this summer at a downhill event in Whistler and a cross country race in Squamish. Brandon Semenuk, Eric Crowe, Brook Baker, Tyler Morland and John Blok are the official provincial champions in their respective categories.

I talked with a journalist in the June issue of Metro Parent Magazine in the Detroit area about helping parents talk to their children about sexuality. On the Birds and Bees: Royal Oak psychotherapist Joe Kort adds that if parents are uncomfortable with their own sexual feelings, they are going to be uncomfortable with their kids."
They don't want to see their child as sexual," Kort says. On Masturbation: Royal Oak psychotherapist Joe Kort says that throughout history, masturbation has been associated with shame, guilt and all-out fear. "You'll go blind!" was a common threat, as parents slapped chastity belts and other medieval contraptions on their children to prevent them from the sinful act of "spilling their seed." (I am reminded of the joke where the father says to his little boy, "Don't masturbate you will go blind" and the boy responds, "Can I do it until I need glasses?"
On Having Gay Children: "You can really end up making them feel they don't belong," says Kort, warning that the more disapproving you are, the more you'll damage their self-worth and send them into hiding. "Often a child will turn to the Internet, pushing them to do dangerous behavior," Kort warns. He says that gay teens can be vulnerable to sex abusers because they have no one else to talk to. He recommends if parents feel uncomfortable, or cannot discuss the topic in a respectful manner, they should seek out assistance, such as family counseling or a sex education class.

PM Modi to launch health insurance scheme, Ayushman Bharat, from Jharkhand on Sept 23
Jharkhand's health secretary said the department was all prepared to roll out the scheme successfully, under which 85% of the state's population would be provided up to Rs 5 lakh free cashless medical insurance cover.ranchi Updated: Sep 07, 2018 13:49 IST
Prime Minister Narendra Modi would roll out the Centre's flagship scheme , Ayushman Bharat-National Health Protection Mission, from Jharkhand's capital on September 23.
State health secretary Nidhi Khare said, "We got the confirmation from the PMO of his arrival on September 23. It would be a proud moment for us, as an ambitious scheme like Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Abhiyan- would be launched from the state."
Reacting to the development from China, chief minister Raghuabr Das thanked the Prime Minister for choosing Jharkhand to launch the ambitious heath insurance scheme.
The health secretary said the department was all prepared to roll out the scheme successfully, under which 85% of the state's population would be provided up to Rs 5 lakh free cashless medical insurance cover.
So far, 240 private hospitals have applied for empanelment under the scheme. "We have received 240 applications from private hospitals to be empanelled with the scheme. A district empanelment committee has been set up in each district. The committee will empanel the hospitals after necessary verifications," said Divyanshu Jha, CEO of Jharkhand state health society (JSHS), the nodal agency for the implementation of the centre's scheme.
Jha said they were conducting state and divisional level workshops to create awareness and push the number of private hospitals to 500 in the state by the time of rolling out of the scheme.
Currently, the department is busy with integrating the beneficiaries' data of state and the Centre. Centre has picked 28 lakh beneficiaries from deprived category of Socio-Economic Caste Census (SECC) data.
However, state government has decided to give the benefit of the scheme to all the households (59 lakh) enlisted under Food Security Act.
Jha said the Centre would contribute 60% and state share would be 40% for the 28 lakh households selected by centre while the state would contribute 100% for rest of the households, which would be around 31 lakh. Under the scheme, nearly 1350 diseases would be covered.
The state government will run the scheme under hybrid-model in which health cover of Rs 1 lakh would be disbursed through the government approved insurance company. Health claim of above Rs 1 lakh and up to Rs 5 lakh would be disbursed through trust mode by the implementation support agency.

Recently there has been a spate of pro-Arab and anti-Israel letters to the editor in a number of newspapers which, I I believe, are off base on issues concerning our national security. Some even align themselves with President Carter, the same president who did nothing to thwart the Islamic fundamentalist terrorists attack on the West when the U.S. embassy in Tehran, Iran was seized in November 1979.
Then the benignly disengaged President Carter approved a terribly flawed hostage rescue operation that was a complete failure. Additionally, he significantly undermined our national security by cutting billions of dollars from the defense budget, canceling the B-1 bomber program, ordering U.S. missiles out of South Korea, initiating diplomatic relations with Fidel Castro and eliminating hundreds of intelligence positions at the CIA.
It is difficult to understand how any people in this country, including a past president, can promote respect and understanding for the Palestinians who are governed by Hamas, an Islamic terrorist organization. It is equally difficult to understand how anyone can equate our involvement in Iraq with protecting Israel.
We take positions in the world to enhance and protect our national security. As stated in a previous opinion to the editor there are a number of good reasons for the United States to maintain and promote a close relationship with Israel.
I want to defend the U.S. administration and Congress. Our government officials do not succumb to the advances of lobbyists when the national security of our country is at stake. Anyone who accuses our government of promoting another country's interests over our own is ridiculous and might border on obtuseness. We might not agree on some issues, but all Americans put our own interests way ahead of the needs of other countries. Many countries, corporations and organizations lobby the U.S. administration and Congress in support of their programs. This is part of our democratic system. Is it good for us? I don't know, but I believe, in general, it should be scaled back.
There are five reasons to actively support Israel:
(1) Israel is a strategic ally in the Middle East and is a bulwark standing in the way of Islamic fundamentalism's onslaught to take over that region of the world and spread its anti-Christian and anti-Jewish tentacles to Europe, Africa and other continents, including our own.
Israel, with its democratic government and institutions, its free press, free speech, freedom of worship, its economic vitality, its military prowess, and its civilized people, is an anomaly among other Middle East countries. Its battle with terrorist factions and its counter terrorism policies are a model for all countries of the world to emulate.
Does it surprise anyone the United States sent its top counter terrorism officials from around the country to Israel for training to combat terrorist organizations and individuals.
Israel is strategically located in a region of the world that poses potentially great danger to the free world. Without Israel the Islamic fundamentalist terrorist threat to world security would be vastly enhanced. The march of Islamic fundamentalist terrorism towards world domination must be thwarted and defeated, and it starts in the Middle East.
(2) The United States has a special relationship with all democratic and freedom-loving countries and people in the world, including Israel, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, Spain, the eastern European countries, Canada, Mexico and others. We favor any country which shares in our current fight against terrorism and our long term endeavor to promote freedom and equality in the world. What is wrong with that?
(3) This country will always have a special relationship with people in the world who are persecuted and targeted because of their religious beliefs, or race, or ethnicity, or gender; or because of their prosperity; or because of their fortitude to stand up and be counted for their convictions. We applaud these people.
(4) The United States has not lost one member of its armed forces in support of Israel. Israel has fought all of its wars and its battles with the terrorists without any need of intervention from the United States or any other countries. This cannot be said for our involvement in many countries in the world since 1948, including South Korea; Vietnam; Grenada; Bosnia; Somalia; Kuwait; and now Iraq. The current aid to Israel of $3 billion per year, or approximately $100 billion to $125 billion over the previous 58 years, pales in comparison to the projected cost in Iraq of over $500 billion in a five-year span.
(5) We should continue to promote and support the countries who support us and are with us in our fight for justice and freedom for everyone in the world. We need more countries in the world who share our Judeo-Christian values of tolerance and understanding. The Nazi and Communist threats of the past have been replaced by the Islamic fundamentalist jihadist scourge of intolerance and hatred emanating from the Middle East.
It is a clash of cultures. There is the Judeo-Christian culture of separation of religion and government; freedom of religion, speech and press; and liberty, understanding and equal rights for all. Then there is another culture in some countries and groups that considers religion a primary focus and national identity secondary; that restricts freedom; that denigrates women to a lower status; and quickly resorts to violence to solve problems.
We must win the cultural war.
Commentary: A clash of cultures and the role of Israel
Recently there has been a spate of pro-Arab and anti-Israel letters to the editor in a number of newspapers which, I I believe, are off base on issues concerning our national security. Some even align themselves with President Carter, the same president who did nothing to thwart the Islamic fundamentalist terrorists attack on the West when the U.S. embassy in Tehran, Iran was seized in November 1979.

Things To Consider
- Jeremiah is in conflict with false prophets.
- These prophets are concerned with popularity and what is easily accepted more than what God wants to say.
- The people should move on with their lives because they are going to be there a while.
- Restoration will come but not for a while.
