To whom is repentance to be preached?
"And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations." Luke 24:47.
Who are called to repentance?
"I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." Luke 5:32. How is one to know he is a sinner? "By the law is the knowledge of sin." Rom
Is this a universal rule?
"We have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin." Rom.
To what is the transgressor of the law subject?
"Let no man deceive you with vain words; for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience." Eph. 5:6.
What is it that awakens the soul to a knowledge of its condition before the law?
"When He [the Comforter] is come, He will reprove the world of sin." John 16:8. What will be the inquiry of those who are thus convicted? "Men and brethren, what shall we do?" Acts 2:37. What reply should be returned to this inquiry?
"Repent, and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins." Acts 2:38. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." Acts 16:31.
How will the convicted sinner be constrained to act?
"I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin." Ps. 38:18.
What will godly sorrow work?
"For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation." 2 Cor. 7:10.
NOTE.-Repentance is the effect of godly sorrow, not the cause.
What will any other kind of sorrow do?
"The sorrow of the world worketh death." 2 Cor. 7:10.
NOTE.-The sorrow of the world is the result of carnal considerations, and the sinner regrets more that the sin is exposed, than that the evil was committed.
What does true repentance involve?
"Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die?" Eze. 18:31.
After repentance, how should one live?
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" Rom. 6:1, 2.
Whose servant is he that committeth sin?
"He that committeth sin is of the Devil." 1 John 3:8.
How does God regard the truly penitent?
"To this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at My word." Isa. 66:2.
What promise is made to those who confess their sins?
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9.
NOTE. Every known sin must be confessed to Christ, in order to secure the blessing of a full salvation.
By what are we cleansed from sin?
"The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin." 1 John 1:7.
Toward whom are we to repent?
"Repentance toward God." Acts 20:21.
Toward whom must we exercise faith?
"And faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ." Acts 20:21.
NOTE.-Repentance should be exercised "toward God," because men have sinned against God by transgressing His holy law (1 John 3:4; 7:7-12). Faith should be exercised "toward our Lord Jesus Christ," because it is to that divine and ever-blessed Being that the sinner should look for salvation (Acts 4:12). It is when the sinner, with the eye of faith, views Jesus, through infinite love, and at an infinite sacrifice, opening up for him the way of salvation, that his heart is touched with the thought of how criminal a thing sin is, and that (if he yields to the strivings and entreaties of the Holy Spirit, exercising faith in the crucified) he is enabled to repent of his sins, and to apply to himself the merits of "the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world" (John 1:29). Man needs grace and power superhuman and divine to repent unto salvation. And how is this grace and this power secured? By faith in Him who says, "Without Me ye can do nothing" (John 10:5). Saving faith must therefore be exercised in true repentance. Indeed, it is through saving faith that genuine repentance is effected. Consequently when the Holy Spirit, by means of the conjunction "and," adds "faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ" to "repentance toward God, we are not to understand that men must wait until they have repented before exercising saving faith in Christ, never to be converted, and to be lost at last. If we keep faith ahead and in lively exercise, we shall know by blessed experience what are genuine repentance and genuine conversion, and shall "bring forth fruits meet for repentance (Matt. 3:8); but if we shut ourselves up to our own efforts and to our own works, faith, repentance, and conversion will be lacking, and instead of bringing forth fruits meet for repentance, we shall bring forth fruits from a heart that has not received the touch and mold of converting grace-fruits that will bear the marks of rebellion against God, and against His righteous ways. While it is true that those who do not repent of their sins cannot, scripturally, expect to be saved by faith in Christ, it is also true that it is by the same faith by which men repent that they claim and receive pardon, deliverance from sin, justification, the spirit of adoption, and cherish the hope of final salvation.
How will one show that he has truly repented?
"Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance [margin, answerable to amendment of life]." Matt. 3:8.
Chapter 17
Is there a promise for those who confess their sins?
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful andjust to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9.
To whom besides the Lord should one confess his sins?
"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." James 5:16.
NOTE. All sins should be confessed to God, because the very smallest is a grievance to Him; but only those sins should be confessed to a fellow-man that have directly injured him. A sin that is against God only, should be confessed only to Him, and man has no claim to a confession in such cases.
If one tries to cover up a sin, and will not properly confess it, what effect will such a course have on the delinquent?
"He that covereth his sins shall not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy." Prov. 28:13.
NOTE.-He may outwardly appear to prosper, but spiritually he will not.
Is it possible to hide a sin from God?
"Be sure your sin will find you out." Num. 32:23. "Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of Thy countenance." Ps. 90:8.
How did David feel before he confessed his sins?
"When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long, For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer." Ps. 32:3, 4.
What came to him after confession?
"I acknowledged my sin unto Thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and Thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin." Ps. 32:5.
Who is the advocate of the sinner?
"If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. " 1 John 2:1.
NOTE.-It follows that if one is an advocate for another, the advocate must know all the case of the one for whom he is to plead. If any omission is made in stating the case in all its details, how can the advocate plead for such?
How fully did Israel confess to Samuel when they wished him to intercede before God in their behalf?
"And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the Lord thy God, that we die not; for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king." 1 Sam. 12:19.
NOTE. -Probably Samuel knew before that they had committed that particular wrong; but he wanted them to feel it before he could really intercede in their behalf. Even so the Lord wishes all now to specify their wrongs, that He may know they have a genuine sorrow for each one committed.
What are we to expect when we confess our sins?
"Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving- kindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions." Ps. 51:1.
Will there be a time when every one will confess to God?
"For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then everyone of us shall give account of himself to God." Rom. 14:11, 12.
NOTE.-The confessions here spoken of are those which will be made in the judgment. If any one has refused to acknowledge his sins before, affirming that he could not see them, he will then see them just as the record has them marked. He will confess his sins when it is too late to obtain forgiveness for them. It is far better to acknowledge our faults now, and with the help of God put them away, while there is hope of salvation.

Charitable Giving
Let's face it: Liquor retailers have a pretty crappy reputation, in many cases because they've earned it.
We strive to be a retailer that you can be proud to patronize. Hair O' The Dog is an active supporter of charitable causes in our community.
We give back, not because it's the right thing to do from a business standpoint, but because we want to. We live in this community, our children grew up and went to school here, and because it's our home. We are truly overwhelmed by the support our friends and neighbors have given us and want to give back the same.
Responsible Drinking
Hey, we think that enjoying a beverage is a very cool thing to do. But those who drink irresponsibly are about as uncool as it gets. We encourage responsible drinking any way that we can:
We do not sell alcoholic beverages to intoxicated people, period.
We maintain one of the most aggressive programs available to ensure that we only sell to people who are legally entitled to drink.

Kenduskeag krunches kause khaos
Well, Ryan and Justin and I had fun as "fishers of men" (and women and small children) at the Kenduskeag race yesterday. Our original station was quite calm, but the cheers from the crowd, and eventually an order over the radio, drew us to a much busier station in the Kenduskeag Gorge. There was a nice three foot standing wave that was just a little wild for many paddlers. Every fourth or fifth boat went over. If you had flotation, you stood a chance, but most of the amateur boats filled with water and their paddlers were guaranteed a dunking.
A couple of leaderless kids from Dirigo's youth team had perched themselves on a precarious rock, and were handling the casualties manfully, although their operation was more physically demanding than they could handle, and the perch they chose basically guaranteed that one or both of them would be injured. Not a good choice of stance. We chose a nice beach further down, where we took turns to throw ropes and were able to bring in the swimmers with ease and comfort.
In the end, one of the rock-perched kids got exhausted from swimming after paddlers, and the other fell and cracked open the fluid sac in his knee and had to withdraw. Not before insulting us for our rope-throwing ability, which we found fairly hilarious, considering that he'd just managed to get himself injured by, basically, showing off for the crowd. If he'd just let the paddlers float by, they either came to shore, or we hauled them in safely and with little risk to ourselves.
The other kid was much more pleasant and modest a SAR colleague, and I actually saw him save a couple of young children who were in somewhat serious trouble.
We must have fished out 50-60 swimmers. We got wet and a little cold, but had no other problems. The "new" state surplus Ford 350 crew cab truck makes a great SAR truck, and will be an asset on a call-out.

Virat Kohli and Mahendra Singh Dhoni are two of the biggest cricketing stars not just in India but across the world. Current skipper Kohli has always spoken highly of the support Dhoni has given him after he relinquished his captaincy. Fans, however, rarely get to hear how India's two superstars deal with situations and the tips they give the bowlers during a match. In a video posted by a Twitter user, both Dhoni and Kohli can be heard speaking to each other about fielding positions and giving tips to the Indian bowlers.
Some of the remarks made by Dhoni and Kohli in the video, which is from the first ODI against South Africa in Durban, make for some hilarious viewing.
Dhoni behind the stumps is hilarious. pic.twitter.com/ntJubXMgoQ— dogu (@HusnKaHathiyar) February 2, 2018
Dhoni can be heard telling Hardik Pandya to bowl in a certain way and praising Kuldeep Yadav while Kohli is heard making funny remarks about South African batsmen's inability to understand spin bowling.
Dhoni can also be heard saying, "shaabaash (well done) Cheeku" to Kohli when he makes a good stop in the field.
India had outclassed South Africa in the opening ODI, bringing to end Proteas' impressive 17-match unbeaten streak at home stretching back to February 2016, when they had lost to England at Port Elizabeth.
Kohli (112) led from the front as he hit a fine century to help his team cruise to a six-wicket victory over the Proteas.
Kohli, who scored his 33rd ODI hundred. Kohli was ably supported by Ajinkya Rahane (79) who looked in solid form as he hit his 24th ODI fifty. Kohli and Rahane also stitched together a 189-run partnership, a record at Durban for the highest third wicket partnership.
Additionally, India also recorded their first victory against South Africa at Durban since 1992-93.
Chasing a target of 270 runs, Team India overhauled the target in 45.3 overs to take a 1-0 lead in the six-match series.

Nelson Bellido Featured as Speaker for Financial Poise™ Inside Counsel Insider: Corporate & Regulatory Compliance 2.0 Webinar
September 14, 2017
Nelson C. Bellido,
The webinar airs on Monday, September 18th at 2 pm CST (3 pm EST) and features Moderator Kate Harmon of Elliott Greenleaf. The webinar series will cover corporate and regulatory compliance as it relates to procurement and government contracting, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, data privacy and social media. The volume and complexity of transactions related to procurement are some of the reasons that transactions with the government are most vulnerable to corruption. State and federal regulatory compliance can be tough to navigate and the process can make even routine sales and marketing practices vulnerable to civil and criminal liability. This webinar analyzes the regulatory framework, including identification of some of the legal risks in solicitations, pre- and post-award bid protests, contract compliance, change orders, and contract claims and disputes. The webinar also discusses defense strategies of a company that is accused of fraud or civil noncompliance.

Unless you live on a deserted island in the middle of no where, you know that today is Thanksgiving Day. A national holiday set aside to give thanks for all of the blessings given to us this past year, and even previous years. But who do we, as a nation of many different nationalities, different religions, different beliefs, give thanks to? As Christians, we acknowledge that the only true God is the one who gives all things. As the Doxology, which many of us sing every Sunday, says, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow," (emphasis mine), we know that everything on this earth is created by Him and belongs to Him.
In researching for this blog, I found that most American Jews do celebrate Thanksgiving. But they give thanks every day. Every single day the first thing the Jewish people say upon awakening are "I give thanks before you, eternal King, for having restored to me my soul." Every single day there are one hundred blessings they recite, one hundred times to say thank you. One hundred times they emphasize not what they are missing but are grateful for what they have. Imagine…what if we adopted their "thankfulness policy?" How different would our lives be if we made a point to give thanks and praise to God 100 times a day–every day? Selah.
There is great debate among Muslims as to whether or not American Muslims are allowed to celebrate Thanksgiving. The saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do," is most applicable here. American Muslims observe Thanksgiving Day as a time to get together with friends and family, share a meal and have fun. There are a number of restrictions to their celebration , foremost being they must acknowledge and give thanks to their god, Allah.
Wherever you are and however you celebrate, my prayer for you is that you will be with friends and family, that you will enjoy a delicious meal of your family's traditions, whether it's turkey and all the trimmings, or an Italian feast, and that you will, indeed, give thanks!
How do you celebrate Thanksgiving? Does your family have traditions surrounding the holiday? Feel free to share below!

Actuation and control of a transradial upper-limb prosthesis
15 November 2016
Aisling Lee and the transradial upper limb prosthesis
Consider this: how intuitive is it for you to reach out and grab the nearest object to you? Perhaps you are reading this on a mobile device that you are holding in one hand while doing something else entirely with the other one.
Have you ever contemplated how many mundane tasks you perform on a daily basis that require two hands? What about tasks that require fine motor control, such as tying your shoelaces or handling something delicate, like an egg?
Our world is filled with life-changing technology and recent decades have yielded more astonishing advances than most of us could ever have imagined, but there is one area of critical importance to a huge number of people that is only now beginning to catch up.
Prosthetic devices have been around since the early 1800s, but the designs of such devices have tended to go through long periods with little or no significant innovation. During the latter half of the 20th century, many prosthetic devices underwent only incremental design improvements. Since the turn of the millennium however, there has been dramatic progress, especially in the design of upper-limb prostheses.
As a result of these advances, upper-limb prostheses are becoming more user friendly and, in the case of some cutting-edge devices, are now much closer to being comparable with the abilities of a biological arm. Unfortunately, the cost of such advanced devices places them beyond the reach of many users. Even for those who are fortunate enough to be able to afford one, practical issues can arise at the interface between the residual limb and the device.
Where signals recorded from the residual limb are used to control the prosthesis, the quality of signals that can be obtained (which varies greatly from user to user) is of paramount importance.
Prosthetics and assistive technology
My interest in prosthetics began in 2011 during my Leaving Certificate Technology course. As part of the prescribed project in that subject, I delved deep into the world of assistive technology and its applications.
In September 2015, during the final year of my electrical-engineering degree in the Dublin Institute of Technology, I approached Dr Ted Burke, lecturer in DIT's School of Eletrical Engineering Systems. I proposed revisiting the topic with the aim of developing a novel method by which a signal (or signals) recorded from a user's forearm could be used to easily operate a prosthesis and control the tightness of the end effector (hand).
The starting point for my investigation was to research the mechanics of the human arm, the biopotentials (electrical signals) that can be recorded from various muscles in the arm and which of these signals might provide a viable means of controlling a prosthesis. Consulting academics with a background in this field as well as clinicians in IDS Cappagh (whose support was an invaluable asset in this study) greatly sped up my learning.
For those unfamiliar with the physiology of voluntary muscle control, consider this example: when we decide to move or activate a muscle, impulses are emitted by a motor area in the brain. These impulses propagate at high speed along the nerve fibres of the peripheral nervous system to the relevant muscle, where they trigger a series of chemical reactions that result in the physical contraction of muscle cells.
The activation of each muscle cell involves a tiny movement of electrical charge across the cell's membrane. The result of many muscle cells activating together is a biopotential signal called the electromyogram (EMG) that can be measured in the form of a time-varying voltage on the surface of the skin.
The EMG is a noisy random signal, with an amplitude that is typically on the millivolt scale. The more intense the muscle contraction, the greater the magnitude of the EMG. Research into industry standards as well as the anatomy of residual limbs pointed to the flexor carpi radialis (herein referred to as the anterior of the forearm) and the flexor carpi ulnaris (herein referred to as the posterior of the forearm) as the most suitable muscles from which to measure control signals.
To locate the anterior forearm muscle, place your right hand on the posterior (outside) of your left forearm near the elbow with the palm facing down, then flex your left wrist up and down to activate the muscle. To locate the posterior forearm muscle, place your right hand on the anterior (inside) of the forearm with the palm facing up and flex your left wrist up and down again.
Clenching your left hand into a fist activates the anterior and posterior simultaneously. These three distinct types of muscle activation are referred to
below as anterior flexion, posterior flexion and code contraction (both anterior and posterior activated simultaneously). It was these three gestures that I used to control my prosthesis, via a simple state machine model.
Development of biopotential instrumentation
Having selected a specific muscle location on which to focus the signal measurement, development of the biopotential instrumentation began. Surface-mounted electrodes are the industry standard.
IDS Cappagh is affiliated with Ottobock, which uses myoelectrodes in their electromechanical arms. Myoelectrodes are small units about the size of a standard flash drive which contain surface electrodes, a differential voltage amplifier, signal rectifiers and signal conditioners. These would have been suitable for use in the project but unfortunately are quite expensive.
Due to budget limitations, I opted to develop my own signal-acquisition system to be used in conjunction with surface-mounted electrodes. The first obstacle to overcome with regard to obtaining a signal was the development of suitable electrode cables.
Standard biopotential electrode pads were available in the college for use with clinical measurement systems. However, matching connectors were not available. After some experimentation, the connector on the electrode pads turned out to be almost identical to a snap button that can be sewn onto clothing.
After acquiring several different brands of snap connector and testing them for continuity, I manufactured cables that facilitate a good quality connection, but also allow for interchangeability and ease of integration into the amplifier circuit. Using some cable, the female end of a snap button, header pins and some hot glue to insulate the joints, I created my own electrodes.
Having established a reliable method of connection, the focus turned to development of circuitry to amplify and condition the signal. The microcontroller used was a dsPIC30F4011, which requires an input signal of significantly greater amplitude than that obtained directly from the surface of the skin. Hence, amplification was essential.
Furthermore, to minimise code complexity, I elected to input each muscle's signal in binary form only (high for muscle active/low for muscle resting). These binary signals act as inputs to a state machine model that controls the movement of the prosthesis.
Designing the circuit
With these two stipulations in mind, circuit design commenced. Both anterior and posterior signals were treated the same and both will be referred to below simply as the 'signal'.
The differential voltage signal recorded from the electrodes was initially passed through an instrumentation amplifier with a gain of 11 to produce a higher amplitude single-ended signal. From there, it was fed into a non-inverting amplifier with a gain of 10, resulting in a final signal amplitude on the volt scale as required by the dsPIC30F4011.
At this point, we have an analogue signal that is viable to work with. However, it was observed that oscillations were present in the signal regardless of whether the muscle is at rest or active. This was likely the result of interference from external sources, which is a familiar problem in biopotential measurement.
At times, the resulting degradation of the recorded signal was sufficient to make the state machine (and hence the prosthesis) behave unpredictably. I therefore implemented a simple envelope detector to smooth out the signal, which made it much easier for the user to reliably select the desired level of activation (which is performed using muscle flexion gestures).
It was desired that this project would be easily adaptable to the wearer and the electrical biopotential signals obtainable from their arm. Even in fully able arms, significant variation in signal amplitude and quality is observed between different subjects.
This gave rise to the next development, which was to devise a way in which a binary (on-off) signal could be easily utilised with the existing code while also allowing any adjustments needed to be made in the hardware.
A comparator circuit with variable threshold was chosen as the most suitable augmentation to complete the measurement electronics. The threshold level of each signal's comparator can be set using external potentiometers (dials) that are mounted externally so that the user can adjust the sensitivity to muscle activation at any time.
Gesture sequence to control the prosthesis
Now that the electronics could reliably measure a signal from the arm and convert it to binary form, indicating whether or not each of the two selected muscles is active or not, it was time to finalise the gesture sequence the user would employ to control the prosthesis.
Many existing systems differentiate between users with strong and weak muscle signals. Those with stronger signals are granted proportional control of hand closing and gripping using signal amplitude, whereas those with weaker signals are typically limited to using the more easily detected code contraction to open and close the hand.
My desire was to develop a system that would facilitate variable grip control, even for those with weaker signals, by means of pre-defined gesture patterns. Once the preset threshold level has been set to facilitate reliable detection of intentional activation of each muscle, the user controls the prosthesis using a series of anterior, posterior or code contractions (fist clenches) in a specific order to select and then activate a desired level of grip.
When the prosthesis is powered up, a fanfare of lights indicates to the user that initialisation is in progress.Once initialisation is complete a yellow LED lights to indicate that the arm is in standby mode and at rest. When the user performs a code contraction, the system observes length of the activation. If it is less than three seconds in length, the system enters grip set mode (indicated by a flashing yellow LED); if the duration of the code contraction is longer than three seconds, the arm skips straight to the closing procedure.
Grip set is a mode whereby the user can increment or decrement the level of tightness they wish to obtain by executing an anterior or posterior contraction. A row of red LEDs on the exterior of the arm light up to indicate the level (ranging from 0–4 or fully open to fully closed). Once the desired level has been obtained, executing another code contraction begins the tightening procedure. This is indicated by a flashing red LED and can be stopped at any time should the user need it by either performing a code contraction to return to grip set mode (should the wrong level have been selected), or an anterior flexion (to immediately open it).
A green LED lights to indicate the end effector has reached the user's desired level of grip. The arm remains in this state until the user releases it by performing a code contraction. A red LED lights to indicate that the end effector is opening. Once it has returned to the open position, the state machine returns to the aforementioned standby state.
The final phase of the project was the mechanical design of the prosthesis. The end effector employs a simple design comprising multiple lengths of flexible conduit, incorporating string threaded through it to act as tendons. The end effector closely resembles a human hand with good biomimetic properties. The strings which act as tendons for each finger terminate at a single point connected to a bell crank mechanism which in turn was connected to a ratchet and pawl (operated by a stepper and servo motor), which was used to retain and release the tension in the end effector during gripping actions. This structure is simple to control, places minimal stress on the actuators and allows de-energisation during gripping and resting, which reduces power consumption.
The resulting implementation provides a successful proof of concept that, with further refinement, could be form the basis of an effective and useful device. As a result, this project was nominated for the 2016 Siemens Innovative Student of the Year Award, run by Engineers Ireland.
My experiences working on this project have also reinforced my interest in biomedical engineering, especially in the use of instrumentation and software in medical devices and assistive technology. Having graduated with a BEngTech in Electrical and Control Systems Engineering, I am now completing a BEng in Computer and Communications Engineering in DIT with the hope of continuing my work in the field of prosthetics.

"I set my goal. And that goal was Independence."
During one of her interviews that I watched years ago, Beyonce said this. And although I don't remember which interview it was, and who was interviewing her, and what she was wearing and all of that, I will never forget those words. Not because they inspired me at that time- but quite frankly, they scared me. I thought to myself, did I have the courage to set a goal as… um, scary as independence? I didn't.
Independence meant to be able to stand on your own two feet. It means being able to buy your own clothes, pay your own bills, cook your own food, do your own laundry, clean your own house. It also means being able to care for those who depend on you, to look out for your loved ones both financially and emotionally and physically. It means earning your right to have a say and have an opinion. It means work, work, work. Work – so that no one, no where can tell you what to do. No one, no where is the boss of you. You are the boss of you. And that's the prize, that's the amazing silver lining to being independent.
That's what independence means.
For most women in India, 'independence" is not really an expected goal. Family and society expect their daughters to think more along the lines of – 'You can study, and you can work, but if you don't want to, it's alright, we can find a nice boy for you, rich, well-settled, and we can get you married off.' I personally have always wanted to study, I always saw myself working. But it didn't hit me until I watched that interview – that somewhere, back in my mind, this kind of thought hung around like a safety net. Oh my God, was I ashamed of myself. Not to mention supremely embarrassed – for someone who went around touting women's equality and all of that. These were the questions I asked myself:
If I was all alone – if I was just me, what was my worth? What could I do to survive?
Would I even be able to do that – to survive?
From that day it was a journey. I opened myself to the possibility of being all alone – and being completely self-sufficient. Setting your goal as independence needs a lot of strength and courage, it really does, because it literally means that you can't depend on anyone else. It's just you.
I have nothing against women or men who decide to marry and stay at home while their partner earns. That's their choice, and I respect that. But it's not like that for me.
I know now, for a fact that I want to be independent.
And I'm still learning how hard that is to achieve, especially when you are nineteen years old like I am, and still have to depend on your parents to put you through college and pay for you and everything. But I tell myself now that I will get to it one day, and I hope I do.
And now here's a Beyonce gif to thank you for reading through my philosophical rant. I'm done.

Ferguson Cop Suspended For Calling Michael Brown Memorial 'A Pile Of Trash' (Video)
A Ferguson police officer has been suspended after he called a memorial left in honor of Michael Brown "a pile of trash."
Police Officer Timothy Zoll, a spokesman for the Ferguson Police Department, was contacted by a Washington Post reporter after residents claimed a motorist had intentionally driven through a memorial set-up for Michael Brown.
It is the statement Zoll gave that resulted in his suspension.
"I don't know that a crime has occurred," Zoll told Washington Post reporter Jose A. DelReal over the phone. "But a pile of trash in the middle of the street? The Washington Post is making a call over this?"
Zoll has been placed on unpaid leave while the decision whether to enact a more serious penalty is being considered.
"The officer has been placed on unpaid leave, effective immediately, while disciplinary proceedings begin," a department press release read in-part. "The City of Ferguson wants to emphasize that negative remarks about the Michael Brown memorial do not reflect the feelings of the Ferguson Police Department and are in direct contradiction to the efforts of City officials to relocate the memorial to a more secure location."
Justin (@jay_myles2) tweeted about the destruction of the memorial, writing, "Just got to #MikeBrown memorial and it's been ran over. Someone who saw it on video said it was intentional."
Footage of the destroyed memorial may be viewed below.
The memorial was restored by morning.
"A few people are here and planning to restore the memorial right now. Hate won't win tonight #MikeBrown #Ferguson," Justin tweeted.
Brett A. Blume (@brettblumekmox) posted a picture to Twitter of the rebuilt memorial, writing, "The rebuilt #MichaelBrown memorial on Canfield. @michaelcalhoun first reported car destroying it this am."

They say variety is the spice of life, and, when they concocted that phrase, I imagine Those Weekends in March Where There's FA Cup Quarter Finals AND Premier League Games is exactly what they were talking about.
We had goals, we had shocks, we had thrills and more than enough spills. But what were the definitive best moments from across the two competitions? Well, these, I reckon:
Best Assist
There were more than a few contenders here, but there was just something so instinctive and seamless about Sadio Mane and Robert Firmino's link up for the opener at Craven Cottage on Sunday.
True, the Brazilian didn't have to extend himself too much to allude a Fulham defence already planning for Rudy Gestede and Jordan Rhodes, but the way he allowed the ball through his legs before picking out his Senegalese teammate as if there weren't any other bodies around was joyous. Maybe a little too easy, but also really, really joyous.
Best Team Goal
You know those times when people debate the merit of a 'team goal' vs 'individual goal' - why can't we just treat it like Lionel Messi vs Olivier Giroud last week and enjoy them both! Starting with Swansea City's wondrous team effort against Manchester City in the FA Cup.
When people talk about the 'Magic of the Cup', they don't in their wildest dreams dare to envisage such a thing of interwoven wonder as that Bersant Celina score - it was supremely gorgeous. Remember when people thought that goal Argentina scored at the 2006 World Cup was the benchmark for a great team goal because it had a few passes at the back before it? That was sweet, wasn't it. 26 passes. Innocent times.
Best Solo Goal
In so, so many ways this was the antithesis of that Welsh wonder, but it was no less impressive. It was occasionally bumbling and not always pretty, as Raul Jimenez battled around the Manchester United penalty area in an attempt to fashion a shot.
But by hook or by crook he found himself a chance. I say a chance. This was not a chance. This was barely half a chance. I can't find the XG, but if I could, I bet it's bloody low. Having for all intents and purposes stopped the Mexican, Victor Lindelof had already allowed himself a sigh of relief. Job done. But it wasn't job done, Victor. Not by a long shot.
Because Wolves' talisman can bring down a ball with the touch of his chest and he can swivel like you've never seen before and he can find the bottom corner. He can and he did.
Best Save
There were many things that Kristoffer Nordfeldt did on Saturday that could warrant this selection. The Swede was magnificent, even if he did concede thrice - one of which coming from his own trailing legs.
There was an early stop on Leroy Sane. There was the implausible scuff wide of a David Silva effort with the horizontal underside of his midrift. But the double save from first Gabriel Jesus' corner bound header, and then Sergio Aguero's ensuing tap-in with the goal seemingly gaping was remarkable. Utterly remarkable.
Best Disregard for the #Narrative
Everton were atrocious in that first half against Chelsea at Goodison Park. Atrocious, awful and appalling. All of the bad As. The commentators knew it. The Twitterverse knew it. But most of all, their fans knew it, producing one of the most antipathetic fan performances of the season. The #Narrative was set.
But four minutes into the second half, it was destroyed. And 23 minutes after that, it was set once more. And suddenly the crowd were as engaged as they had been a fortnight prior. Football, bloody hell. Thankfully, there was one man on that pitch who did the noble thing and allowed the enduring #Narrative to flood over him - Marcos Alonso. The Spaniard was suitably sh*te, satiating all those who have said so in the past.
At least someone cares.
Worst Goalkeeping Gaffe
Unfortunately for the goalkeeping world, this is quickly becoming a segment. In the Red corner we have Alisson and his mishandling of Virgil van Dijk's tame header back to him. In the Blue corner, we have David Martin, and a mishandling of his own from a speculative cross-shot from Solly March in the final seconds of Millwall's FA Cup quarter final with Brighton.
Now, previously, we have consulted Jurgen Klopp on such goalkeeping gaffes, but there's a conflict of interest here, clearly, so how about we go with Marco Silva this time, to balance it out.
Well, I'm told he he went into traumatic shock when watching Martin's mare, repeatedly screaming Jordan Pickford's name and then couldn't bring himself to watch Alisson's. So, I think we have a winner?

Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt reveals why she turned down the chance to compete on Strictly Come Dancing
With lots of speculation about which celebrities have said "yes" to Strictly Come Dancing for the new series, we can reveal one celebrity who said "no".
Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt has revealed that she turned down the BBC dance contest because she would rather watch TV for the Channel 4 show than learn to tango.
Scarlett told the Daily Star: "I was asked to do Strictly Come Dancing which was pretty cool but I love Gogglebox too much.
"It's the best and easiest job in the world to sit and watch telly. I would have had to choose between the two and it was a no brainer for me."
Had Scarlett decided to compete on Strictly, she would no doubt have wiped the floor with her fellow celebs as she was a successful ballroom dancer as a child.
Latest Stories
Scarlett, 24, was trained by Strictly's professional dancer Anton Du Beke when she was a little girl and recently showed off some of her moves on Channel 4's Celebrity First Dates.
Singer Will Young, Birds of a Feather star Lesley Joseph, ex-Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas and EastEnders' Tameka Empson are among the celebs rumoured to have signed up to this year's Strictly, which will return to BBC1 at the end of summer.

To find a solution to every immigration query, that is our quest. Private individuals and companies alike, please be welcome to challenge us.
Employees working for a multinational which has offices in the Netherlands can work in the Netherlands via an intra-company transfer.
Intra Corporate Transferee Directive
The European Intra Corporate Transferee Directive is implemented into the Dutch legislation. Based upon this directive managers, specialists and trainee employees can be transferred within the group to the entity established in the Netherlands. They are entitled to a work and residence permit (single permit) called 'intra-corporate transferee permit' (ICT-permit). The permit is issued for a maximum duration of 3 years for managers and specialists and a maximum of 1 year for trainee employees. This permit is not renewable after 3 or 1 year. It remains possible to switch during the validity of the ICT permit to a different permit category like highly skilled migrant visa or EU Blue Card. By switching from permit category the maximum duration of 3 years We arrange your
intra company transfer
work permit.is no longer applicable.
To be eligible for the ICT-permit the work contract between the transferee and the sending group company outside the European Union must remain in place. It is not allowed to enter into a work contract with the Dutch entity. The transferee must be, prior to the secondment to the Netherlands, employed for at least a duration of 3 months. Manager and specialists must earn at least a gross monthly salary of € 4,500 (exclusive 8% holiday allowance) or € 3,299 if the transferee is younger than 30 years of age. They must hold at least a Bachelor degree or have 5 years of previous relevant work experience. A trainee employee must hold at least a Master degree. The same salary threshold for trainee employees is applicable.
If the entity in the Netherlands is recognised as sponsor by the Dutch Immigration Service, the ICT-permit application will take 2 to 3 weeks. If this is not the case, the Dutch Immigration Service will request the Dutch Labour Office for advice whether the offered salary is market level. This procedure can take between 10 to 12 weeks.
If the ICT regulations are applicable it is not possible to apply the Dutch Highly Skilled Migrant Visa or EU Blue Card.
Trade Treaties
Intra company transfers within the group company based upon Trade Treaties like the WTO Agreements remain possible besides the secondments based upon the ICT Directive. Advantage of an intra company transfer based upon the WTO is that a work permit application is submitted at the Dutch Labour Office and is issued in practice within 3 weeks. That will also be the case if the entity is not recognized by the Dutch Immigration Service.

My life in Malaysia: 2011–2015
About 5 years ago I was an average guy with standard ideas of life. (Just understood like I am not that guy anymore). After my graduation of the University of International Relations and World Languages named after Abylaikhan I decided to go to Malaysia. But on that time I was offered an invitation for job from three (3) different places in Kazakhstan. It was kind of shocking news for the guy who never worked and fresh-graduate. Despite that I decided to leave Kazakhstan. Oh yeah, I had a scholarship for Master's Degree and was studying there on that time.
Anyways, initially I planned to stay in Malaysia for 8 months to complete my MBA and come back to Kazakhstan. I was planning to get married soon. However, I stayed there from 2011 to 2015. What caused me to stay that long?
Probably this was the best time in my entire life for now. It was my first trip to abroad, except Kyrgyzstan when I was a kid. Honestly saying, Malaysia is the best country for travel. I can doubt that students study there.
So from 2011 to 2015 I had a chance to study, work, travel, and more. I was a taekwondo coach of SEGi University and won lots of tournaments, including international ones.
First meal in Malaysia
When I arrived to Malaysia I tried chicken&rice. Rice was so yellow, and chicken was good fried. I can still remember the taste of that chicken&rice. The taste is still in mouth.
Malaysia is very good in table tennis and the best in Badminton. Sports such as boxing, wrestling, and other martial arts is not that developed in Malaysia. However, taekwondo is progressing in Malaysia very rapidly. Government's support and support of the University's Management is very high.
Here I was awarded a nomination "The Most Inspiring Sportsman of the year" in 2012. Later in 2013 I won a nomination of The Best Sportsman of the year.
It is difficult to work officially in Malaysia if you're a foreigner. Of course if you have huge experience and set of rare skills you can get a working permit easily. I was very lucky that I got a working permit in Malaysia. My career life was amazing from 2013 to 2015.
To be honest it was hard to adapt and adjust to Kazakhstan after all. Working environment in Kazakhstan is absolutely different from Malaysia.
After couple of years my mom said: Come back to Kazakhstan!
I came back to Kazakhstan only for my parents. I do not regret for anything. I had good time in Malaysia, succeeded in sport, academically. My destiny gave me a chance to see the Prime-Minister of Malaysia. Actually, there are many things I've done in Malaysia. I think I'd probably write them all separately later.

Intro to Hahn Estates Chardonnay Monterey –
Hahn Estates Chardonnay from Monterey USA has a lovely aroma reminiscent of golden apple, tropical fruit and toasted oak with flavours of tropical fruit and vanilla and is medium bodied with a creamy mouth feel.
Full tasting note and wine making –
The grapes for the Hahn Estates Chardonnay were grown primarily in the Arroyo Seco appellation of Monterey County, which sits on a gravelly alluvial plain beneath the Santa Lucia mountain range. Cool winds from Monterey Bay ensure gradual ripening and the development of vibrant flavors. The gravelly soils of the appellation allow excellent drainage, enhancing flavor intensity. Initial scents of apricot and banana segue into a notes of lemon wafer and vanilla. Medium bodied and dry on the palate, a note that evokes essence of granny smith apple contributes a snap of acidity to the wine's clean finish.
The producer –
Hahn Family Wines, formally known as Hahn Estates, produce a range of wines from five vineyards located in the Santa Lucia Highlands and Monterey County appellations. This region boasts the most varied climatic conditions of any region in California and produces fruit with exceptional varietal intensity, flavour, depth and structure.
Hahn Family Wines is owned and operated by Nicky Hahn and his wife Gaby who moved to Monterey in the mid 1970s. They now produce 400,000 cases of wine per year making them the fifth largest producer by volume amongst America's family owned private wineries. They purchased the Smith & Hook Winery in 1980, laying the groundwork for their long-term commitment to bring out the potential of Monterey. With their prime location in the Santa Lucia Highlands overlooking the Salinas Valley, these ranches turned vineyards presented ideal weather conditions for growing premium varietal fruit. Since 1980 the Hahn family has cultivated their hillside vineyards and are committed to making rich, supple wines which over deliver on quality yet are perfect for everyday enjoyment.

Great with grilled sea bass with herb butter, Chicken breast with lemon, tomato bruschetta, caesar salad.

Our Neighbourhood – The Glebe
Algonquin Land and History
The Glebe is a part of the Algonquin traditional territory and is unceded. The Algonquin were one of the indigenous nations who were party to the Treaty at Niagara in 1764 which ratified the Royal Proclamation of 1763 and was encoded in the Twenty Four Nations Wampum Belt. Beginnings of a tentative land claim settlement settlement was announced in December 2012, but may not reflect a full recognition of the treaty rights.
The Glebe House which is the location of Angela's Bed & Breakfast, was built in 1898. The Glebe has a rich settler history since about the mid-1800s. It grew out of a Clergy Reserve granted to St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in 1837. By the 1890s it was a streetcar suburb two miles south of Parliament
Today the Glebe has a unique, urban village character in the heart of Ottawa.

For travel agency start-up Mister Adventure I designed a corporate identity. An exciting new job that required many different skills. After a good talk about their identity and what they wanted to represent I got to work. I designed multiple items for them like a business card and flyer. Next to that I created a styleguide presenting all style choices we made and how to use them in the future, like color schemes, font styles and logo placement. Besides these things I adjusted their logo after they asked for a more "pointy" version (I didn't make the first version). With some help of a friend of mine (Jeroen Willemse) I figured this out and we made a second version of the logo which both I and the guys from Mister Adventure preferred over the first one.
What I created:
Here are a few screenshots from the styleguide and brochure. In the styleguide-screenshot the real introduction text has been replaced by placeholder text (to secure privacy).

Current guidance on young carers for schools (Scotland)
'It is vital that young carers can continue to participate in the education system in a way that allows them to fulfil their potential……… A key part of that is to ensure not only that young carers are identified in our education system, but that young people in our schools understand the role that young carers have and that teachers are educated about the difficulties that some young carers face'
Michael Matheson, Minister for Public Health, January 2012
Here are the main documents of policy, legislation and guidance which direct professionals working in a Scottish context to how they should support young carers in education settings.
The Education (Additional Support for Learning) (Scotland) Act 2004 and 2009 introduces a framework for providing for children and young people who require additional support with their learning for any reason. The Act places certain duties on local authorities to identify and monitor the additional needs and the support provided, and respond to parents' request for an assessment.
In 2010, HMIe (now part of Education Scotland) carried out a review of the impact of the Act on certain groups, including young carers. Recommendations were made as follows:
- Education authorities, partner agencies and establishments should improve approaches to identifying and addressing the needs of children and young people who are looked after, who are young carers and those with mental health issues.
- Education authorities should achieve better consistency in the provision of coordinated support plans for children and young people who meet the relevant criteria for having one, with particular consideration being given to children and young people who are looked after, are young carers, or have mental health disorders.
- Education authorities and NHS Boards should review availability and access to specialist support services for children and young people with mental health issues.
- Scottish Government and education authorities should ensure that relevant data and information are collected and managed effectively to help children receive, and benefit from, appropriate support.
- Education authorities, partner agencies and establishments should ensure that staff have appropriate training to help them meet the needs of children and young people with additional support needs.
- Education authorities and establishments should ensure that parents of children who are looked after, are young carers, or who have mental health issues are aware of their entitlements under the Act. These children and young people themselves should also be made aware of their entitlements under the Act
Further information can be obtained from the Education Scotland website http://www.educationscotland.gov.uk/
'Getting It Right for Young Carers' The Young Carers Strategy for Scotland 2010 -2015 (Scottish Government, 2010) sets out action points to be implemented through local authority education services to support young carers in schools. These will assist with identifying and supporting young carers in school settings. Here is a list of the action points which are most pertinent to schools:
- By 2012, if they have not already done so, local authority Education Services will wish to revisit their policies, procedures and approaches for identifying young carers in schools, to reflect the impact of current policy and legislation, including the Curriculum for Excellence and the Supporting Children's Code of Practice.
- By 2012, if they have not already done so, local authority Education Services will wish to explore opportunities for developing partnership working with their local schools, parents and the third sector, including young carers services in order to improve identification of and support for young carers.
- The Scottish Government will work with the Scottish Young Carers Services Alliance to produce a practice guide on young carers for teachers and schools.
- The Scottish Government and CoSLA will promote the use of the toolkit (2.7 MB) which has been developed to assist primary school teachers to identify and support young carers.
- The Scottish Government and partners will respond to the recommendations coming from HMIe (now part of Education Scotland)'s review of the implementation of the Additional Support for Learning Act and its impact on young carers (see above).
The strategy sets out how its production dovetails with the 4 capacities which form the foundation of the Curriculum for Excellence and Scottish Government's child-centric approach, Getting It Right for Every Child (GIRFEC)
The Curriculum for Excellence aims to achieve a transformation in Scotland by providing a coherent, more flexible and enriched curriculum from 3-18. With the full implementation of CfE from August 2010 everyone within a learning community, whatever their contact with children and young people, will share responsibility for creating a positive ethos and climate of respect and trust where attention is given to all pupils' wellbeing.
CfE provides opportunities and support that is tailored to the needs of the individual learner, so that every child and young person can develop the attributes, knowledge and skills they will need if they are to flourish in life, learning and work and to be effective contributors, successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens
More detail can be found here
Getting It Right for Every Child (GIRFEC) – is a fundamental way of working across all statutory and Third sector services and is the delivery mechanism for improving outcomes for children and young people. It is a partnership approach that puts the child, including those with caring responsibilities at the centre. It identifies and builds on existing family and community supports to promote all children and young people's wellbeing and improve outcomes.
GIRFEC promotes a co-ordinated and unified approach to identifying concerns, assessing needs, agreeing actions and outcomes, based on the Well-being Indicators

The BBC reports that Americans, angry over Scotland's "compassionate release" of the Iraqi convicted of the 1986 Lockerbie bombing, are calling for retribution against the UK country, starting with a boycott of Scottish goods. Angry online campaigners are demanding that bar patrons order "Freedom Liquor" if they can't give up their scotch whisky and the longtime American boycott of haggis now seems to be set in concrete.

Planning Your Search for a Starter Home
Verani Realty
Browsing real estate and think you know what you want in that first home? With the popularity of Pinterest, it is easy to dream and plan for that big purchase. But a wise buyer also realizes that there is a difference between needs and wants when it comes to a starter home, and sometimes compromises must be made.
The typical starter home allows buyers that important first step into homeownership. You want to plan carefully for areas where you can compromise and identify those things where you cannot. Knowing where to compromise can mean the difference between becoming a homeowner or continuing to rent.
Here are some tips for first time home buyers to get started:
Buying a home is big step, but it is worth the time and effort you put into it to prepare. Be smart about your investment, plan out your objectives and know what to expect. Be prepared that starter homes are usually smaller than the next home you may own.
In a nutshell, look for what you need to have for the next few years, then look for a few extra features if you can afford them.

Costs of an e-Learning
The implementation of e-Learning or Blended Learning courses is usually much more time-consuming and expensive than a conventional classroom training. But after multiple course runs, the return of investment starts to show (through time savings, higher student numbers, reduced travelling ...).
One can use the following formula to calculate the total cost of both face-to-face training and e-Learning:
Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost x No. of Participants
ACWUA/ONEE Calculation of Cost
To make the courses comparable, ACWUA/ONEE divides them into «Modules» (2 weeks each compromising a evaluated test and an on-line webinar).
The costs per module for the technical infrastructure, the participant's accreditation and the presence of tutor's is now approximately € 4,000. This refers to an existing technical and content infrastructure (all copyrights, expert and didactical content, all technical development are already paid), the presence of local tutors and approx. 90-100 participants.
The break-even point for ACWUA courses is therefore approximately € 40 per participant and per module, provided 100 active participants per module.
Parts of the above mentioned costs per participant can be least diminished by asking a donor organization or another project partner to pay the needed fees for a certain number of participants.
This is a very feasible option because – with the support of GIZ –, ACWUA and ONEE are able to provide a full service package including the content, the copyrights, the trained tutors, the Learning Management System and the certificates.

PTMD-led Programme Using Mobile Phones Helps Farmers in India
A project by the Programme for Technology and Management for Development (PTMD) to use mobile phones in agricultural extension services in India significantly improved the speed and quality of service delivery, according to an impact analysis.
The Rural e-Services project, financed by the EPSRC, developed an information and business system that provided farmers in Madhya Pradesh, India, with expert advice on resolving problems with their crops using mobile camera phones. The project made it possible for farmers to discuss their challenges and get rapid responses using modern communication technology.
The project was carried out in collaboration with Sheffield Hallam University, the Overseas Development Institute and NGO Saral Services.
The impact analysis also found indirect benefits not only in greater awareness and knowledge of agriculture technology and information but also in terms of farmers' attitudes towards trying new technology in the future. Evidence from the evaluation suggests that disadvantaged farmers benefitted more from the intervention than those who are better off.
The impact analysis, based on randomised survey data, was carried out by PTMD Director Xiaolan Fu and Shaheen Akter of North-South University, Bangladesh.
The Indian government is now using a modified version of the concept and the technology for wider application.
