Hello MX500 Members,
May 1, 2016 marked six months since we launched MXRevShare last year on November 1. I strongly recommend that you join MXRevShare as soon as possible if you have not joined already. This new business will be the largest and most successful MX business ever and the most rewarding financially for our members.
Also, May 1 was the five years anniversary since we launched MX1, MX3, MX7 on May 1, 2011 and all three programs are still online and flying high as are all of the MX programs following my YEAR 2020 COMMITMENT to keep all MX programs online at least until the year 2020.
Throughout this five years, I have tried my best to communicate well with our members and be as transparent and forthright as possible. It is good when our members write nice words about me based on their own personal interactions with me. Click this link for an amazing testimonial written just a few days ago from two of our members, Gloria and Steffen Bieser:
In this newsletter here I want to share so many great news items with our members for you to get more and more excited about MXRevShare.
1. Incredible statistics for our first six months:
Total members: 12,000+
Total purchases: over USD 1.4M
Re-purchases of adpacks: over USD 1M
Total real money paid for adpacks: over USD 400K
Total real money commissions paid out at MXRevShare and the other MX matrix programs with accounts purchased with MXRevShare earnings: over USD 300K
2. MXRevShare grows in proportion to the tasks the members perform. What I mean by this statement is the more new members that are introduced by the existing members and the more real money each member uses to purchase more and more adpacks, the more successful we all become long term.
3. Last week we transferred to a new super-power high-speed server exclusive for MXRevShare and its members. Offline time was minimal and the transfer was seamless. The new server allows far higher performance in a fraction of the time.
4. Since early this year I made the decision for MXRevShare to have a FIXED 2.5% REVENUES SHARING PERCENTAGE. This is the best share rate in the global market among all legitimate companies.
5. We now have a 50/50 REPURCHASE RULE with no more MUST-BUY policy for MX matrix accounts.
6. You have the possibility to click on external ads that bring additional external money to be shared with the members.
7. MXRevShare offers members the chance to join for FREE and then earn half a cent USD for qualifying ads. For up to a maximum of 100 clicks per day this can bring 50 cents USD per day. Wow! This is up to USD 15.50 earnings per month without ever spending any money with MXRevShare. So members can buy their first adpacks with money earned from free clicking.
8. We offer special banner placements for greater numbers of visitors. For more details on this point, join our Facebook group and ask Janus for his advice.
9. Our advertisers are more satisfied with us because of the new captcha and surfing scripts, as visitors must really watch the adverts. More advertiser satisfaction equals more income for the members as all income sources are shared with our members. Remember, we are a REVENUE SHARING ADVERTISING COMPANY.
10. More effective advertising brings more advertisers to MXRevShare. Again, more advertisers equals more income for the members.
11. NEW! Special Ambassador BUILD YOUR BUSINESS Extra Bonus Plan:
o Ambassador balance: this will be paid out on the first day of the following month.
o This extra income is to be used for Ambassadors to buy business clothes, new computers, notebooks, tablets, better car, offline advertising materials, meeting materials, such as flyers and banners, etc.
o Ambassadors can use this money to build their business and to represent a new way of life.
o Bronze Ambassadors get $5 PER DAY ($150 per month) for having 250+ active Millionaire adpacks.
o Silver Ambassadors get $10 PER DAY ($300 per month) for having 500+ active Millionaire adpacks.
o Gold Ambassadors get $30 PER DAY ($900 per month) for having 1500+ active Millionaire adpacks.
o Millionaire Ambassadors get $50 PER DAY ($1500 per month) for having 2500+ active Millionaire adpacks.
PHASE 2: This is being launched at our one-year anniversary on November 1st this year.
PHASE 3: This is being launched next year during 2017.
12. September 2016 European Tour. I will visit Europe and together with Janus Nowak we will host a series of meetings and seminars in Germany and Poland and Hungary, and other countries if demand dictates. Plus we will have lots of fun with the leaders and our members
13. Here is the link for the RECENT PAYOUTS webpage which you should show to all of your prospects and personal members so they know for true that we are paying out real money to our members EVERY DAY and so far we have paid out over USD200,000 in real money to our members at MXR alone plus a further USD100,000 at the MX matrix: programs since November 1 last year:
14. I want you to focus on what is most important to you which is earning a large residual lifetime income with MXRevShare. Now repeat your new money mantra: I love earning a large residual lifetime income with MXRevShare!
15. We make the difference! For you to earn a large or massive income with MXRevShare all you need to remember and act upon is this 3-part slogan:
PROMOTE and WATCH ADS and EARN MONEY!
Say yes to success!
February 14, 2016
Global MXR Members:
Happy Valentine Day!
As my gift to you on this special day, I am returning the daily share to 2.5% FIXED from today.
As long as you the members support my YEAR 2020 VISION to have one million members worldwide by the year 2020 then my commitment to you is that I will fix this amount at 2.5% daily sharing so that it does not change again.
I am still learning the mechanics of how to build a hugely successful online revenue sharing advertising business and I have listened to what you the members have told me you want.
You want FASTER EARNINGS so I have learned that 0.5% paid out over 200 days is identical amount of income for the members as 2.5% paid out over 40 days. So you the members get what you want and from today you get 2.5% fixed.
You also want INSTANT COMMISSIONS PAYOUT so this week we will add API to the payment processors Payza, STP, OKPay, Perfect Money so that you can claim and receive your earnings immediately.
With the PayPal issue that Traffic Monsoon is now experiencing, and as Traffic Monsoon is the global leader for this type of business, I have taken a much closer look at their business model compared to MXRevShare and I want to make sure that we are better than them in every aspect for the benefit of our members.
1. TM has been paying out 2% daily (but I heard it is down to 0.4% now). So MXR is 2.5% daily fixed from today.
2. TM pays 10% referral commission on one level. MXR pays 20% on 3 levels.
3. TM has API with instant commissions withdrawals. MXR this week will have API also.
4. TM has a 100% matching bonus for PTC clicks. MXR has this also.
5. TM has only one type of adpack ($50). MXR has 3 choices of adpacks ($5, $25, $50).
6. MXRevShare does have a better pay plan than TM. They only thing we do not have is PayPal. But neither does TM any more. PayPal does not allow the business model of TM or MXRevShare, so PayPal is finished for TM as a pay processor. TM are now pushing their members to use STP and Payza.
7. Since 2009 when I first visited the head office of Payza (AlertPay then) in Montreal Canada, we have had a 5-star ranking with Payza. In the past seven years we have had almost zero complaints and no charge-backs. In the world of online marketing, our near perfect ranking with Payza is unheralded and it is because of my honesty and my close relationship with the leaders and my great communications with our members.
8. MXRevShare also has our 8 MillionaireX matrix business plans for the personal growth and financial empowerment of our members. And each of these 8 MX programs has personal empowerment products EXCLUSIVE to our members because I spent many years creating all of those products. This is a massive benefit that TM and MAP and other revenue sharing platforms to not have.
9. We now have our AMBASSADOR RANKS to inspire our members to greater and greater heights of achievement with MXRevShare. Make it a personal goal of yours to reach the BRONZE or SILVER or GOLD or AMBASSADOR rank by this summer and join a champagne dinner celebration with me in Europe where I will personally recognize each of our leaders.
10. This is not official yet, but it has been on my mind for quite some time, so I will tell it to you here and now. The first 25 members of MXRevShare to reach the AMBASSADOR rank will each receive 1% shareholding in the new MX GLOBAL INC, business which will be incorporated after these 25 individuals are known. And this new corporation will be the holding company for MXRevShare and all 8 of the MillionaireX businesses. So these 25 people will share in everything we have. For me to take MXRevShare to one million members by the year 2020, we will need a very strong team at the top. This team will be me and Janus and these 25 people (millionaires). YOU can be one of them if you make that your focus.
There are multiple other advantages that we have for our members, similar with the business models of Traffic Monsoon and MAP, but I will ask Janus Nowak (our head of technical and systems development for MXRevShare) to detail those benefits in a follow-up newsletter later this week to our members.
Here is my only request to you the members in exchange for the fixed 2.5% daily share:
YOU must click on more banners. YOU must use some of your commissions to purchase more and more adpacks. YOU must strive to reach the Ambassador ranks. YOU must have your own YEAR 2020 VISION for the success of your personal life in all areas. YOU must make real transactions with real payments. YOU must show your large earnings to your personal members and to your prospects and to the tens of thousands of Traffic Monsoon members that are no longer happy with TM. YOU must speak only good about MXRevShare. YOU must refer more and more people with real payments, because only YOU and all of us working together will bring our company to a greater and greater momentum.
You must know that YOU have to do something for the long term success of MXRevShare. It is in YOUR hands. If you want to have 2.5% daily share fixed then you must know that YOU are responsible for our higher company profits, and the higher the profits the higher YOUR own income. This is a win-win-win for everyone.
Remember that MXR is already a very good advertising platform with a tremendous amount of traffic. We already have a top one percent ranking with Alexa and our ranking will only get higher with time. We are only just now over one hundred days old since our launch on November 1 last year.
With your help we will ensure that MXRevShare builds a huge financial reserve over the next months and years for the long term financial stability of the company and its global members.
You know that my absolute commitment is for the long term success of MXRevShare and all the MillionaireX business programs and for you the members.
Say yes to success!
James Lee Valentine.

The automation company Pilz in Ostfildern received a visit from the federal chairman of the FDP, Christian Lindner, on 11. November 2015. The focus of the visit was the open exchange of experiences between the family business and the Liberal Democrats. Christian Lindner was accompanied by the FDP Landtag candidates for Ludwigsburg (Stefanie Knecht) and Esslingen (Erdal Özdogan).
Ostfildern, Nov 13, 2015
Christian Lindner "Politics must strengthen medium-size enterprises" – FDP head Lindner visits Pilz
Thomas Pilz, managing partner of Pilz GmbH & Co. KG, introduced the family business and its key data. Christian Lindner was particularly impressed by the high R&D quote of the automation company: Pilz invests around 20 per cent of the turnover (2014: 259 Mio EUR) in Research and Development. Lindner stressed that the medium-sized, often family-run companies are the backbone of economy. The objective of politics must be to support these companies so that new jobs are created.
When there is talk about the economy, not only the employer is meant; "are all of us are economy", Lindner continued. Companies, employees and the society as a whole benefit from a healthy economy.
Pilz is aware of their social responsibility, said Thomas Pilz. "We are not only a family-run business because we are family-owned. Pilz is defined by its staff."

I'm so sorry I haven't posted anything lately. Things got kinda crazy with maybe baby, maybe not. And getting ready for the first set of holidays without my mom, so blogging went to the back burner. My mom would have been 61 on December 14th. And last year we surprised her with a Christmas trip to NYC (she didn't get to go and dad stayed home with her). Looking back on that I feel horrible for even telling her about that. But at that point we all just thought she was having bowel issues. And I second guess myself every time I think about it because why didn't I know something? (So I was dreading December 14th this year. Actually I was really trying not to think about it, mostly avoiding it. Kinda like August 10th, the six month anniversary of my mom's death. But that day we found out Baby Teal was going to be a girl. I haven't been that happy in a long while.) But then Haidyn came on December 14th. So no longer will I have to dread that day. Laura was scheduled to be induced but Haidyn came on her own. In 3 hours. If Laura hadn't been scheduled to be induced none of us would have made it there in time. I'm so thankful God's plans for Haidyn's birth included us!! And how HE knew the wranglings of my heart, even without the words coming out of my mouth about that day--Oh how faithful HE is!!
So 2010 started pretty crummy but ended up fabulous. And now I'm dreading February 10th--maybe there will be a proposal or something. (That is totally a joke :) But really if you have diamonds you can send them to me, from God. :)
Enjoy the pics of my new niece!!
love, Aunt SES
(Jonathan's sister is Sarah as well so Cal's nickname for me has stuck! My initials in case you didn't catch on)
(And do you see the pots in the picture? I had to ask Laura where her pots and pans were when I cooked dinner--Ha! I'm such an idiot sometimes!)

Large Upper Ear Piercing Done Using A Dermal Punch
Ear Piercing Done Using A Dermal Punch
Large Upper Ear Piercing Done Using A Dermal Punch
Stretching lobes is currently very popular, and is a very easy thing to do. However, stretching the cartilage in the upper ear for large holes is nearly impossible and would leave a very deformed ear, often due to keloiding. To get nice large gauge piercings through upper ear cartilage a good way is to use a dermal punch, which is essentially a circular razor blade (like a really good hole-punch) which can easily remove a circle of tissue.
It should be noted that when possible, using a dermal punch in all piercings of any size 2mm or greater, rather than a hollow needle is "better," in that (as a generalization) it is less painful and heals more cleanly, especially for larger holes. Dermal punches are usually available from 2mm (and smaller from some suppliers), in 1mm increments.
When we did my cartilage, which was done using an 8mm (or approximately 1 ga) dermal punch, first we found a nice flat part of the ear shell. Not all people have area which is suitable for this kind of piercing, and the shape of the ear is instrumental in determining the maximum size of hole possible. For most people this will be no more than 8mm. However, I have heard of people doing very large (3/4" off-round) cartilage removals using scalpels, but these methods are very experimental and will quite possibly destroy the ear.
As with all cartilage piercings, we used a small flashlight to shine through the ear in this selected area to highlight any major blood vessels, and traced them with a marker. In the aesthetically correct area, we tried to find a location for the piercing which would do the least amount of damage. Obviously, for a piercing of this size this is impossible to avoid, but you can greatly cut down on the healing time if less damage is done.
After cleaning the ear, and knowing exactly where we were putting the hole, we began the piercing. Using a cork backing, we "drilled" or slowly twisted the dermal punch through the ear. This is not easy and may take some time, but is not too painful - actually less painful than a needle (in my opinion), even in this large gauge. Also, there are two major types of dermal punches available. The kind we used on my ear is the 'clave-able reusable type. However, the single use kind is far better.
For my healing we insert a stainless steel flesh tunnel into the hole, approximately 1mm less in diameter than the dermal punch so that the skin would have room to heal in. We also used a stiptic pencil to stop the bleeding, which was fairly significant.
For my healing period, I cleaned the piercing with Bactine, and was careful not to disturb the healing. Mine only hurt very briefly - much less than most cartilage piercings, but bled slight, forming a scab in the area, even over a month after the piercing. The healing time for me was probably between 3 and 4 months.
What finally made the piercing totally heal was taking the jewelry out. It shrunk down to about a 6 ga and healed almost instantly. Then I easily stretched it back up to a comfortable two gauge. In seeing the healing in other people, the best results I have seen are in those that heal without any jewelry for the entire healing time. However, this doesn't work for everybody. For some people even an 8mm can close (!), so I think that the thing to do is to wear light jewelry for the first few weeks to allow skin to form, and then to take the jewelry out, allowing it to quickly heal. When I do my other ear, this is the method I will use.

SEATTLE (AP) After losing five games in a row, the Oakland Athletics were ready for something to go right. So when Josh Donaldson gave the A's an early lead with a solo home run in the second inning, his teammates got a confidence boost.
"It was nice," Donaldson said. "I could tell on the bench a little bit, everybody could just - there was a little sigh of relief. We got a lead, and let's play the game the way we know how."
A couple more homers by Daric Barton and Brandon Moss helped Oakland add to the lead, just enough to hold off the Seattle Mariners' late comeback attempts as the Athletics earned 4-3 win Saturday night.
Jarrod Parker (2-5) did his part on the mound, holding the Mariners hitless until Kelly Shoppach's two-out, two-run homer on a 3-2 pitch in the fifth inning.
Parker left in the seventh after giving up another two hits and a run. From there, the Mariners made several pushes for a comeback but came up short, stranding runners in scoring position in each of the last three innings as the Athletics' bullpen kept pitching out of jams.
"That's something they do," Parker said. "They're a confident bunch of guys. For them to get themselves in a little bit of trouble, I don't think they fret. Nobody else does."
Jed Lowrie had three hits and an RBI for Oakland, which ended its season-long losing streak.
The Mariners were hoping starter Brandon Maurer (2-5) would benefit from 10 days rest - his spot in the rotation was skipped after he gave up four runs in four innings against Baltimore on April 30 - but the rookie had another tough outing, allowing three runs on six hits in five innings.
"It took a while to settle in there, so I was rushing quite a bit at the beginning," Mauer said.
Donaldson opened the scoring in the second, hitting his fifth homer into the visitors' bullpen in left field. The Mariners barely escaped falling behind further after Maurer walked Derek Norris and Eric Sogard - the Nos. 8 and 9 hitters - on eight straight pitches. Second baseman Dustin Ackley ranged to his left and made a diving stop of John Jaso's grounder in the hole to end the inning.
Barton added his first homer of the year in the fourth inning to make the score 2-0, and the Athletics added another run in the fifth as Seth Smith doubled and scored on Lowrie's RBI single.
"When you score early, it's always huge," Barton said. "Especially right now with the funk we were in."
The Mariners' offense couldn't muster more than a few walks until their half of the fifth, when Shoppach hit his second homer of the season to right field with two outs and a man on.
Moss hit his solo homer in the sixth to push Oakland's lead to 4-2.
The Mariners mounted several comeback efforts in the late innings. Justin Smoak and Raul Ibanez hit back-to-back one-out singles off Parker in the seventh, who was relieved by Sean Doolittle. Ackley then followed with another single to score Smoak before Doolittle got out of the jam.
The 6 1-3 innings tied Parker's longest outing this season.
"We want to get him on a roll," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. "One good start's one thing, but we'd like to see him get on a roll. And certainly, with losing a few games in a row, it was a performance we needed out of him."
Reliever Ryan Cook came on in the eighth and gave up two singles and a walk, loading the bases with two outs. Endy Chavez, who had come on as a pinch runner for Ibanez in the seventh, struck out to end the rally - Cook's third strikeout of the inning.
Grant Balfour pitched the ninth for his sixth save in six chances. The Mariners did have men on second and first with two outs, but Balfour got Kyle Seager to ground out for the final out.
"It's a good feeling to win," Balfour said. "I just thought it was an all-around great game tonight."
NOTES: Oakland OF Chris Young(strained left quadriceps) will start a rehab assignment Monday at extended spring training in Arizona, and manager Bob Melvin said he hopes Young will be activated from the DL on Wednesday. ... Ibanez started in LF for Seattle for the second straight game. Manager Eric Wedge said he's trying to help the veteran get comfortable at the plate, although Jason Bay will likely start Sunday. Ibanez was 1 for 3. ... The Mariners are now 1-12 when their starting pitcher doesn't complete the sixth inning and 0-17 when trailing after seven innings.

Topside Paint:
A New Look for Older Boats
By BoatUS Editorial Staff
As fiberglass gelcoats age they tend to oxidize and show the wear and tear of scuffs and scrapes accumulated over the years. Even the best of boat handlers will find that a time comes when gelcoat finishes succumb to the unrelenting attack from the marine environment.
There are several types of coating systems that vary dramatically in both cost and what they deliver. These range from traditional single-part enamels that are easy to apply, to sophisticated two-part systems. Decades ago resin manufacturers saw that urethane and epoxy based coatings had applications as marine paints. Epoxy topcoats had great adhesive qualities but little resistance to UV degradation. The solution came in the form of multi-coat systems that use an epoxy primer and linear polyurethane for the finish, as well as other systems. The two-part process has been greatly simplified but still remains predominantly a professionally sprayed product.
The good news is that do-it-yourselfers can now choose from both single and two-part systems that deliver near professional-quality finishes and are easy to apply by brush and roller. Here's a quick run-down of what to expect. You'll need to think of the job as a ladder that must be climbed one step at a time. Each rung is inscribed with words such as clean, sand, spot fill, sand, prime, sand, paint, sand, and paint once again. Notice the repetition of the word sand, more than a casual hint toward what lies ahead. In the plus column for ardent do-it-yourselfers there's money to be saved and a very real sense of accomplishment. The following step-by-step approach works for any area of your boat, but remember that now products are developed regularly and you should always follow the instructions and recommendations of the product you use. For a good example of what types of products are available see Interlux Yacht Paint.
Prep Work
Cleaning the area to be painted may seem superfluous since the surface is to be sanded, but the actual sanding process can drive contamination deeper into the gelcoat. To prevent this, wash and wax the hull with soap and water and finally do a solvent wipe. It's important to wear gloves and cover any skin exposed to chemicals. During the solvent wipe down, regularly turn the rag used and change to a new one often to prevent smearing surface waxes and other contaminants. Make note of surface imperfections as you are cleaning.
First Sanding
If the surface is in good shape, a sanding with 80- or 100-grit sandpaper may be all that's needed prior to an epoxy primer coat. If there are one or more areas where the gelcoat has been badly gouged, carry out a spot repair using epoxy products or premixed epoxy filler. Epoxy resin based fillers are slower to set and a little harder to sand than polyester or vinylester fillers, but their long-term adhesive quality and reluctance to absorb water make them the preferred repair putty. Once the filler has been sanded flush, and reprime the filled areas.
Primer Application
Primers are usually important and it's also important to use the primer and application method recommended by the paint manufacturer. The primer application is similar to how the finish coat will be handled and it can act as a dress rehearsal, helping an applicator to get the feel of roll and tip process.
Second Sanding
Use a much lighter grade of sandpaper (220-320 grit) to smooth the surface and take out as many surface imperfections as possible. If an orbital disk sander with a thick soft foam pad is used, keep it flat and avoid scalloping the primer. A do-it-yourselfer who is careful with primer application will see less drudgery in the sanding process. In areas where you sand through the primer, spot touch up and when cured, lightly scuff-sand the area.
The slogan "what you see is what you get", underscores how smooth the surface must be. The shiny topcoat will cause shortfalls in your prep work to stand out. Remember that most of the time, admirers are yards, not inches, away when admiring your boat.
Finish Prep
Blow the dust away and do a fresh water hose down of the boat. Once everything is dry, carefully mask off the essential lines. Fine Line tape from 3M™ allows you to cut a sharper edge. Use conventional solvent-resistant masking tape to widen the area for greater protection. Just prior to application of the first finish coat, wipe the surface with a clean rag and solvent product recommended for this purpose. If you spray with air, it's important to use a compressor that does not allow oil to mix with the air.
Paint Application
Regardless of how the paint is to be applied the goal remains the same, an even thickness of film that flows out to provide a smooth, glossy surface. It's a process that sounds easy, but few really master. In truth, it's part chemistry, part good housekeeping, and part the skill of the wrist. The first challenge is to mix part A and B according to directions and stir long enough to ensure good dispersion. Next is the art of mixing the right amount and type of reducer into the mixed paint.
Mix solvent into the paint to get the proper viscosity for application. This will vary with temperature and humidity and is an essential part of making brush and roller marks disappear. Do a test spot on the hull and watch it for a few minutes to see how the paint flows, look for sags and brush marks, and when satisfied with the mix, wipe area the clean with a solvent-soaked rag and start the job from the stern or bow.
As with much of life, too much of a good thing can cause a problem. This is especially true when it comes to using reducers in paint. Your best bet is to start with the manufacturer's recommendation and gradually fine tune the mix to what works best for you. Remember that slow reducers stay in the paint longer, and can be trapped in a paint film if it is prematurely overcoated. When brushing and rolling allow the work to completely cure and sand lightly between coats.
When it's time to actually start painting, the roll and tip process has a lot to offer. The roller wielding member of the duo applies an even coat of paint to a rectangular area using vertical strokes as the brush member immediately follows up brushing out the roller pattern with horizontal brush strokes. Keep the volume of paint applied consistent along the entire hull. Don't try for full coverage with just one coat, for best results it's usually takes three coats.

Every month FaithWriters – The Home For Christian Writers sponsors a blog contest that promotes a ministry that helps in the natural and brings the gospel. This contest includes cash prizes for the winners or Paid Writing Assignments. First place is also posted on 100 Christian Blogs. Novembers contest promoted Angel Tree and Prison Fellowship Ministries. Here is the winner selected by that ministry.
Bound on Earth, Bound to Heaven by Haydee I.
I was awakened by the tumultuous voice of my brother one Monday morning when he said that our dad was arrested by the police. He did not kill anybody nor committed any criminal offense. It was the ongoing business cases filed against his company.
For the next days and weeks, I caught myself crying and wallowing in a sea of misery and depression. No amount of prayer and counsel took away the pain in my heart. I felt confused, afraid, crushed, abandoned, and unprotected. I could not imagine how Papa can survive standing in the city jail for many weeks and crushed by the bodies of fellow prisoners. He could not even go to the restroom when he needs to and change his sweat-soaked shirt.
Prior to that, my dad used to take me to the National Penitentiary for many years. We signed a waiver before entering the Maximum Security Compound just in case something happens. One full day for every week, our prison ministry team visited and ministered to them.
My friends said I am crazy going there with no assurance of protection whatsoever once someone throws a fit or our lives become endangered because of the environment. Perhaps.
I will never forget the day my dad asked me to preach about God's goodness to them. I saw the tears in their eyes and the pain in their faces. I had no power to do something concrete like getting them out of jail but by just being there to listen to them, pray for them, feed them, clothe them, throw them Christmas parties, give them hope and share Jesus to them makes all the difference.James 1:27 echoes this: "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
I saw many wives, children, and relatives visiting their incarcerated husbands, fathers and loved ones. They had the same facial expressions and the same story of loss, lack, and fatherlessness.
The same story unfolds for every country, race or generation where a father or mother was sentenced to jail. Indefinite separation from parents sets the stage for them to lack
guidance and parenting thereby making them prone to a host of emotional trauma, abuse, rejection, and neglect. Couple these with the propensity to engage in illegal activities and addictions to drugs, pornography, sex, gambling, among others.
But, there's good news. After serving time in prison, President Richard Nixon's "hatchet man" Charles Colson was empowered and anointed by God to impact the lives of prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families through the establishment of Prison Fellowship in 1976. This non-profit ministry aims for the redemption, reconciliation, and restoration of prisoners and their families through the love, power and gospel of Jesus Christ.
Eventually in 1982, ex-bank robber and prisoner Mary Kay Beard founded Angel Tree in Birmingham, Alabama to help Prison Fellowship prisoners connect with their families especially children during Christmas. The idea is to allow a sponsor to give a Christmas gift to a child under the name of his own incarcerated parent. In its first year, 556 children were given and to date about 9 million children and 5.2 million inmate parents were ministered to.
~ There are now 1.7 million children who have one or both parents in prison.
~ You can change lives and make a difference right NOW.
~ Click Angel Tree to know more details and how you and your church can partner with them.
~ Imagine what your Christmas gift and prayer can do to one of these kids.

Jack Bauer has survived being stabbed in the back by presidents, tortured by Russian thugs, a near lethal dose of radiation poisoning and even a heroin addiction acquired in the service of his country. But "24," the edge-of-your seat Fox drama that made Keifer Sutherland an adrenaline idol, ends tonight.
When it launched just months after the 9/11 attacks, the show's "real time" gimmick and focus on terrorism seemed fresh and timely. Bauer's actions often paralleled the national debate on terror, torture and civil rights. He always came down on the side of getting the bad guys, even if it meant extracting information with extreme prejudice.
But over the years, Sutherland's rangeless, terse whisper lost its ability to animate Bauer in any meaningful or believable way. The plotlines grew increasingly implausible and, having taken on Islamic terrorists, Russian mobsters, African dictators and even spies and turncoats at his side, maybe Bauer simply ran out of enemies.
As the final season lurches to a conclusion, we've seen Bauer kidnap and torture a former president, disembowel a Russian operative (to retrieve a swallowed SIM card) and lose his soulmate to a sniper. Indeed, to the extent his character's arc has any coherence, seeing Renee Walker, played by Annie Wersching, shot dead seemed to send Bauer on an ever darker spiral. He loved her; after all, she once cut off a thug's thumb.
There's been talk "24" could be made into a movie, or that another network could even pick it up for next year. When the dust settles and the blood stops running tonight, we'll see what's left of Jack Bauer and assess his future.

Three trends that will shape marketing's future
By Jonathan Moran, Principal Product Marketing Manager, SAS
I am one of the 76 percent.
A recent study from Adobe titled Digital Distress, found that 76 percent of marketers feel that marketing has changed more in the past two years than it has in the past 50 years. And it's not showing signs of slowing down – at all. Things are moving quickly, as brand marketers are attempting to handle the digitally empowered, hyper-connected consumer of today.
Offers spew from all available channels and sources, across all platforms and devices in an attempt to capture consumer attention. In this complex and fragmented marketing ecosystem, it can be difficult for brands to deliver an offer that engages and delights a consumer while protecting marketing budgets and goals. But just as fast as brand can get a handle on how to deliver that optimal offer or message, things are going to change again. Here are a few things that I see coming in marketing's future, and I think they will be here before we know it.
As a brand marketer, I need to have a single view of my customers that I can use to make quick decisions that are best for the brand and consumer. By removing intermediaries, supply chains are shorter and technology becomes more user-enabling.
Jonathan Moran
Future trend 1: Nonhuman marketing
Brands have more data about consumers than ever before. Why? Because they are collecting it from a growing number of digital channels – including social and mobile applications. And not only are brands collecting channel data, –they are also starting to collect network and device data.
This idea of collecting data streams allows brands to understand how consumers are interacting with networks and devices that they are able to combine with traditional consumer data (demographic and geographic) to improve marketing efforts. But what happens if our devices are empowered to make decisions for us? We are already seeing this with self-driving cars.
What if I could enable my home electronic systems, mobile apps, Fitbit and Apple Watch to make decisions on my behalf? At that point, marketing will need to direct its attention on machines, devices or systems and not to individuals. Sure, the occasional marketing message could be delivered to a human, but nonhuman marketing will be the primary form. Marketing technology providers should certainly be thinking about this as we move into the future.
Future trend 2: Consolidation
Business models and businesses are evolving toward consolidation. Data is being consolidated within organizations (I hope).
The concept of a customer data hub – a place to store all different data types – whether it's first-party data, third-party data, or indirect data about a customer from elsewhere in the organization– makes all the sense in the world. Why? Brands are starting to understand that customer experience makes the sale, not product or price.
As a brand marketer, I need to have a single view of my customers that I can use to make quick decisions that are best for the brand and consumer. By removing intermediaries, supply chains are shorter and technology becomes more user-enabling.
Today, some businesses serve the sole purpose of aggregating and sourcing products and services for consumers. Amazon is the classic example, but there are hundreds of others.
At amazon.com, I can buy anything from a TV to a pair of socks in a single click – without ever interacting with Samsung or Woolrich as brands. So who do these brands market to? Not me the consumer – but Amazon as the aggregator – and the message to that aggregator will obviously be much different than the marketing messages of today.
Future trend 3: Applied analytics and inherent intelligence
I talk to people about marketing software technology every day. Never once have I heard someone say – "I really love my marketing technology software – I wish I could spend more time in it you know – just clicking around and hanging out."
Instead, marketing analysts want to enter the software, perform an action, complete a task and exit the application so that they can get on to other parts of their job and spend less time on the tactical, more on the strategic.
It only makes sense that marketing technology vendors continue to make their interfaces easier to use, embedding more intelligence and requiring less of the end user where possible. This is certainly something worth planning for – the ability to embed and apply analytical techniques – things like automatically derived segmentation, applied marketing activity optimization, embedded forecasting, and other techniques – all in an effort to infuse machine learning style techniques and behaviors into marketing interfaces. After all, if a machine can tell a marketer the best time to execute a campaign, to whom, which content to use, and when to send it out – why wouldn't a marketer oblige? I know I would.

A cast of New York lawyers and a federal judge debuted a new production on Friday off-off Broadway — all the way in Kansas City, Mo.
Attorneys have gathered there for the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association's annual convention. For the past seven years, the meeting has featured dramatic re-enactments of historic trials involving Asian-Americans.
The latest courtroom drama by the Asian American Bar Association of New York is 22 Lewd Chinese Women. The production focuses on the 19th-century Supreme Court case Chy Lung v. Freeman, which involved a group of women from China who sailed to San Francisco without husbands or children.
California's commissioner of immigration at the time deemed them "lewd and debauched," and a state law banned the women from entering the U.S. unless each paid $500 in gold. The state law was ruled unconstitutional in 1875 by the Supreme Court, which reaffirmed that immigration laws are for Congress to decide.
Cast members recently held rehearsals for 22 Lewd Chinese Women in a 38th-floor conference room above the Hudson River at the law firm Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft in Lower Manhattan. Some actors, too busy to leave their desks, conference-phoned in their lines, while those present, still in suits and high heels from a full day at the office, scrolled through email on their smartphones in between their scenes.
Costuming and sets are minimal. Actors stand in front of a projection of historical photos and carry scripts with them as they read their lines. But hundreds of hours are spent, often during weekends and vacations, to piece together scripts from old newspaper accounts, court transcripts and other historical documents, says attorney Kathy Chin, one of the key organizers of the productions.
Chin helps to write and narrate the re-enactments with her husband, Denny Chin, a federal judge on the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
"[These re-enactments are] about building awareness of how history does repeat itself," she says. "So many of the themes that we treat in these re-enactments are still very relevant today."
And these re-enactments may be coming to a stage near you. Chin says they've already received inquiries about their latest script from college theater departments in New Jersey, North Carolina and Kansas.
If you can't wait, check out some past re-enactments below.
This week, a nontraditional courtroom drama made its debut - not on Broadway but in Kansas City, Missouri, at an annual convention of the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association. A group of New York lawyers and a federal judge reenacted a historic trial involving Asian-Americans. NPR's Hansi Lo Wang sat in on a rehearsal.
HANSI LO WANG, BYLINE: High up on a 38th-floor conference room at Cadwalader Wickersham and Taft, lawyers are running through testimony.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: For what purpose did you come to California?
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: (Through Translator) She came here to marry husband. She's engaged to be married.
WANG: They're not preparing for court. Instead, they're headed to the stage.
DENNY CHIN: On August 24, 1874, after a 30-day voyage from Hong Kong...
WANG: This dramatic reading brings back to life a Supreme Court case from the 19th century. "22 Lewd Chinese Women" is the latest dramatic reenactment by the Asian American Bar Association of New York. The case focuses on a group of Chinese women traveling without husbands or children. They were deemed, quote, "lewd and debauched." And California law at the time banned them from entering the U.S. unless each paid $500 in gold. The state law was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1875. Lauren Lee is a regular cast member in the reenactments. In past performances, she's played...
LAUREN LEE: An exotic dancer. I've also played Supreme Court justices, and this time I'm playing the trial judge.
WANG: Which means she gets to wear a black robe. But for the most part, costuming and sets are minimal. Past reenactments include a trial that began in 1949.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: (as Iva Toguri) Greetings, everybody. This is your number one enemy, your favorite playmate Orphan Ann on Radio Tokyo.
WANG: Iva Toguri was accused of treason for broadcasting propaganda on Japanese radio during World War II. GIs knew her as Tokyo Rose.
CHIN: There was a lot of unfairness in the way the proceedings were handled.
WANG: Judge Denny Chin serves on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. He's sentenced former financier Bernie Madoff. And on the side, he helps to write and narrate the reenactments, along with his wife.
CHIN: She wants to cuts my parts and I want to cut her parts.
WANG: How do you work it out?
KATHY CHIN: He says that I always win, but it's a great deal of fun.
WANG: Attorney Kathy Chin says weekends and vacations are often spent digging through old newspaper accounts, court transcripts and other historical documents to piece together scripts. So, these aren't dusty, old court cases?
CHIN: No, this is a lot about building awareness of how history does repeat itself. So many of the themes that we treat in these reenactments are still very relevant today.
WANG: And these reenactments may be coming to a stage near you. Chin says they've already received inquiries about their latest script from college theater departments in New Jersey, North Carolina, and Kansas. Hansi Lo Wang, NPR News.

Here at Washington Wine Report, every day is Washington Wine Day. But all across the state, March is Washington Wine Month!
Washington Wine Month features numerous promotions by restaurants, retailers, hotels, and wineries throughout the region in a build up to Taste Washington!, the state's largest wine event which takes place in Seattle on March 31st and April 1st.
This year the Washington Wine Commission has created a dedicated website - washingtonwinemonth.com – as a portal for all promotions. The calendar listing on the site includes restaurant discounts (such as 50% off Washington wine bottles at Rover's), special events (such as El Gaucho's Legendary Swirl on March 8th), winemaker dinners (such as a series of events at RN74), and winery discounts (such waived tasting fees and bottle discounts at numerous locations).
Many retailers also participate in Washington Wine Month with discounted wines and Washington wine tastings. This makes March a particularly good time to buy Washington wine!
On a related note, it will be interesting to see what happens this year with the other Washington wine month which occurs in August. In the past, this month, which exists by the Governor's proclamation, has been primarily notable for its discounted prices at the state liquor stores. However, with the passage of Initiative 1183 last November, these stores will be long gone come August. Look for the big box stores, old and new, to help fill the void.
March is Washington Wine Month!

Icon for Hire worth hiring for your iPod
Icon for Hire, the newest band out of Tooth & Nail Records, is releasing its debut album "Scripted" on Aug. 23, but you can preview the band's debut single, "Make a Move," which is available on iTunes.
The single is infectious rock with a hit of pop from this female-fronted band with explosive, in-your-face riffs and lyrics.
"There's a tension really between heavy rock and pop, but never at the expense where it would overshadow the rock side," said lead singer Ariel in a release. "The pop part is like the sprinkles on top of a cake, but the actual cake is rich, dark and heavy."
Love the sprinkles and chocolate cake reference.
The band is out of Decatur, Ill., and has toured the Midwest since 2007. Keep an eye out to see if this band makes its way West. They are known for taking time out to meet with fans.
"We're not the kind of people who want to hang out in the green room all day," Ariel said. "We get out there to talk to our fans for hours before and after the show and we try to infuse a hopeful element in what we do and say."

Mother's Boyfriend Arrested in Shooting of 4-Year-Old
Mother's Boyfriend Arrested in Shooting of 4-Year-Old - KMBZ
Police in Ottawa, KS are still investigating the shooting of a 4-year-old boy resulting in the arrest of his mother's boyfriend. This happened around 12:30 p.m. Friday in the 1100 block of North Oak when the mother's boyfriend was showing someone how to handle the gun but didn't realize it was loaded. The 4-year-old was shot in the leg. Police say they're not considering the shooting an accident because the mother's boyfriend intentionally pulled the trigger. He's charged with aggravated endangerment of a child and criminal discharge of a firearm.

Notes From a Beginning GHC Hacker
General notes (some just for Windows)
- The Building Guide is very good, read the appropriate parts.
- Optimize your set up for build speed. Having to wait 10 minutes to compile because you added an export to a critical module is no fun.
- Use MSYS, not cygwin. MSYS is much faster.
- Do not use -O to compile GHC while you are making heavy changes. Once things compile smoothly and you want to test it, compile with optimization (on my machine, adding -O triples the compile time for a fresh 'make').
- If you do a 'make tags' then you can go right to the definition of a function (from any module) using alt-. in emacs.
- If you need to add or delete modules, use 'make boot' to fix up the dependencies.
Notes on the type system (and its interactions)
The compiler is, of course, found in the fptools/compiler directory. Important subdirectories for hacking on the type system include:
- basicTypes (Name, Var, OccName)
- prelude (PrelNames, TysWiredIn)
- types
- typecheck
- iface (IfaceType, BinIface)
- parser (ParserCore)
The critical parts dealing with types are in the 'types' and 'typecheck' directories:
- TypeRep.lhs
- The representation of types, the Type datatype, is defined here and exported concretely
- A few crucial type constructors (like ->) are defined here in order to avoid excessive module loops
- TyCon.lhs
- The representation of type constructors, TyCon, is defined here and exported abstractly
- Construction and manipulation functions for type constructors are here
- Type.lhs
- Contains the bulk of the type system, imports the concrete representation from TypeRep, and re-exports Type abstractly
(more to come)
Debugging the compiler
- Make good use of
ASSERT ( booleanCondition ), or better yet,
ASSERT2 ( booleanCondition, msg )
- You can add trace messages to the forcing of
pprTrace str sDoc $ expr
- Read about the GHC Debugging Options; the following debugging options are particularly useful:
- -dshow-passes : shows the compilations phases
- -ddump-tc-trace : shows the typechecking status messages inserted by
- -ddump-simpl : shows the Core code after simplification
- -dppr-debug : makes the debugging dumps more noisy (and useful); among other things, shows kinds for type variables
- such debugging options can be added to
makeby passing the argument
Running the testsuite
To run the testsuite:
- darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/testsuite
- make the compiler and libraries
- cd testsuite/tests/ghc-regress; make

SEC575: Mobile Device Security and Ethical Hacking
Sun, March 10 - Fri, March 15, 2013
The training in SEC575 pushes me out of my comfort zone. I am not a programmer, but I am heavily involved in mobile for enterprise.
Cutting edge security material, well taught.
Mobile phones and tablets have become an increasingly common system in enterprise and government networks, from small organizations to Fortune 10 companies. Often, mobile phone deployments grow organically, adopted by end-users for convenient email access, on up to the CEO for access to sensitive company resources and systems. In other cases, mobile phones and tablets have become critical systems for a wide variety of production applications from ERP to project management.
Whether Apple iPhone or iPad, Windows Phone, Android or BlackBerry phones or tablets, the use of mobile devices introduces new risks to an organization including distributed data storage and access mechanisms, lack of consistent patch management and firmware updates, the high probability of loss or device theft and more. Mobile code and software applications are also introducing new malware and data leakage problems that expose sensitive data or personally identifiable information assets. Topping off these problems is a non-technical issue: there simply are not enough people with the skills to securely deploy and manage mobile phone and tablet deployments today.
This course was designed to help organizations struggling with the problems introduced with mobile phone security. From policy to network architecture and deployment, from mobile code analysis to penetration testing and ethical hacking, this course will help you build the critical skills necessary to support the secure deployment and use of mobile phones and tablets. You'll get hands-on experience in designing a secure mobile phone network for local and remote users, make critical decisions to support devices, analyze and evaluate software threats, and learn how attackers exploit mobile phone weaknesses so you can test the security of your own deployment. With these skills you'll be a valued analyst, able to guide your organization through the challenges and pitfalls of securely deploying mobile devices.
A Sampling of Topics
- Evaluating Mobile Device Management (MDM) systems for your organization
- Benefits and weaknesses of device encryption systems
- Building secure mobile phone remote access solutions
- Unlocking, rooting and jail breaking mobile phones and tablets

CPE/CMU Credits: 6
Additional Information
Laptop Required
Throughout the course, students will participate in hands-on lab exercises. Students must bring their own laptops to class that meet the requirements described below.
Students must bring a Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP laptop to class, preferably running natively on the system hardware. It is possible to complete the lab exercises using a virtualized Windows installation, however, this will result in reduced performance when running device emulators within the virtualized Windows host. If you are a Windows XP user, make sure you also have the .NET 3.5 framework installed, which can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21 .
Administrative Windows Access
For several tools utilized in the course, students will be required to perform actions with administrative privileges. Students must have administrative access on their Windows host, including the ability to unload or disable security software such as anti-virus or firewall agents as necessary for the completion of lab exercises.
Students will use a virtualized MobiSec Linux VMware guest for several lab exercises. VMware Workstation or VMware Player is recommended. Note that there is no cost associated with the use of VMware Player, which can be downloaded from the VMware website.
While some students successfully use VMware Fusion for the exercises, the relative instability of VMware Fusion may introduce delays in exercise preparation, preventing the timely completion of lab exercises. VirtualBox and other virtualization tools are not supported at this time.
Hardware Requirements
Several of the software components used in the course are hardware intensive, requiring more system resources than what might be required otherwise for day-to-day use of a system. Please ensure your laptop meets the following minimum hardware requirements:
- Minimum 2 GB RAM, 4 GB recommended
- Ethernet (RJ45) network interface; students will not be able to complete lab exercises with systems that only have a wireless card, such as the Mac Book Air
- 1.5 GHz processor minimum
- 30 GB free hard disk space
- DVD drive (not a CD drive)
- Minimum screen resolution 1024x768, larger screen resolution will reduce scrolling in for several applications and a more pleasant end-user experience
If you have additional questions about the laptop specifications, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Who Should Attend
- Penetration testers
- Ethical hackers
- Auditors who need to build deeper technical skills
- Security personnel whose job involves assessing, deploying or securing mobile phones and tablets
- Network and system administrators supporting mobile phones and tablets
You Will Be Able To
- Develop effective policies to control employee-owned (Bring Your Own Device, BYOD) and enterprise-owned mobile devices including the enforcement of effective passcode policies and permitted application
- Utilize jailbreak tools for Apple iOS and Android systems such as redsn0w, Absinthe
- Conduct an analysis of iOS and Android filesystem data using SqliteSpy, Plist Editor, and AXMLPrinter to plunder compromised devices and extract sensitive mobile device use information such as the SMS history, browser history, GPS history, and user dictionary keywords
- Analyze Apple iOS and Android applications with reverse engineering tools including class-dump, JD-GUI, dex-translator, and apktool to identify malware and information leakage threats in mobile applications
- Conduct an automated security assessment of mobile applications using iAuditor, Cycript, Mo- bileSubstrate, TaintDroid, and DroidBox to identify security flaws in mobile applications
- Use wireless network analysis tools to identify and exploit wireless networks, crack WEP and WPA/ WPA2 access points, bypass enterprise wireless network authentication requirements, and harvest user credentials
- Intercept and manipulate mobile device network activity using Burp to manipulate the actions taken by a user in an application and to deliver mobile device exploits to vulnerable devices
Author Statement
I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but laptops and PC's have become legacy computing devices, replaced with mobile phones and tablets. Just when I thought we were getting a much better handle on the security of Windows, Mac and other Unix systems, there is an explosion of new devices wanting to join our networks that simply do not have the same security controls that we rely on in modern, secure networks.
Even with their weaknesses, mobile phones are here to stay and more and more we're being called on to support them. Some organizations try to drag their feet on allowing mobile phones, but that ultimately contributes to the problem: if we don't address security, the threats continue to grow uncontrolled and unmonitored.
Fortunately, we can securely deploy, manage and monitor mobile phones and tablets inside our organizations through policy and careful network deployment and monitoring. We need to build some essential skills in analyzing the risks of data leakage in mobile code and the applications our end-users want to run from app store, and we need to ethically hack our networks to identify the real threat and exposure of mobile phone weaknesses.
I wrote this course to help people build their skills in all these areas, focusing on the topics and concepts that are most important and immediately useful. Every organization should have an analyst who has the skills for mobile phone security analysis and deployment. By taking this course, you'll become an even more valued part of your organization, and we'll have lots of geeky fun in the process.
