When it comes to comic books, you can't get more celebrated than Watchmen, an undisputed classic of the genre that is still as resonant in today's world as it was in the 1980s. A trailblazing, cerebral, highly political work that redefined the entire concept of superheroes, Watchmen has been analyzed, discussed, and dissected more than almost any comic book ever written. And while that inkblot-faced guy may tend to hog the spotlight, the true center of the Watchmen universe is not Rorschach, but instead the shimmering blue god among men known as Doctor Manhattan.
Other than a series of prequels a few years back, the Watchmen characters have largely remained untouched in the decades since the book's release... until this year, when Doctor Manhattan's radioactive blue glow made its first appearance within the mainstream DC Universe. Soon, Jonathon Osterman may be crossing paths with Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the entire Justice League — or maybe he already has. While it might be a little while before we understand exactly what role Doctor Manhattan will play in DC's post-Rebirth future, read this list to get the early scoop on 15 Things You Didn't Know About Doctor Manhattan.
15 He was inspired by Captain Atom
Charlton Comics was a publishing company purchased by DC Comics in the 1980s, at which point its most famous characters became part of the DC Universe. In the decades since, heroes like the Question, Blue Beetle, and Nightshade have gone on to become major players in DC, but in the beginning there was a question of how to properly integrate them into their new home. This was where Watchmen was born. Originally, Alan Moore's dystopian epic was going to feature all of the Charlton Comics heroes in new, more realistic, and dingier forms. When it was decided that such a story would make it impossible for other writers to feature the Charlton heroes afterward, the decision was made to instead fill Watchmen with new characters inspired by the Charlton cast.
Thus, Doctor Manhattan was created as the counterpart to Charlton's hero Captain Atom. Though the DC revival of Captain Atom changed a lot of character details, the original Charlton character was Allen Adam, a technician who in a scientific accident is completely atomized. Later on, he reforms as Captain Atom, a hero with nuclear abilities that make him the Charlton universe's resident powerhouse.
Of course, in the finished Watchmen comic, Doctor Manhattan became a commentary on not just Captain Atom, but also on Superman, Shazam, Thor, and all of the other cosmically-powered heroes in comics.
14 He's Immortal
One of the most interesting things about Doctor Manhattan is that he's a far more realistic depiction of what would happen to a human being if they were suddenly given the powers of a god. Having knowledge of past and future events, being able to create matter from nothing, and all of these other abilities would certainly distance a person from what it traditionally means to be human.
One of the more subtle features of Doctor Manhattan's powers is that, due to the fact that he can control mass and energy, his appearance is actually a façade. He demonstrates this when he carves his own symbol into his forehead. Jonathan Osterman is no longer a flesh and blood entity, but rather a form of energy that chooses to present himself as somewhat human when he interacts with others, in order to put them at ease.
And as such, he's also, as far as we can tell, immortal. Since his accident in 1959, he hasn't aged a day. He has no need for sustenance or sleep. His mind already perceives everything past, present, and future-- to the point where he knows everything that will happen to him, and is thus incapable of learning new things or "aging" in any relatable a sense.
He's a weird one, that Jon. And if the glimpses of his presence in the DC Rebirth comics are any indication, that might not always be the best thing for the human race.
13 He Caused the New 52
DC Comics and multiverse-wide reboot buttons go together like peanut butter and jelly. By the time you've gotten used to the sixty-seventh variation of Superman's origin, wherein this time the planet Krypton is populated by human/dinosaur hybrids and Doomsday is Superman's grandfather, the Anti-Monitor rolls around and wipes everything away again.
This time, though, it's different. The revelations of DC Rebirth, and the reintroduction of Wally West, have only given us glimpses of a bigger plot unfolding behind the scenes... but what we do know is that Doctor Manhattan is the key figure. The New 52 reboot, which repopulated DC comics with a younger, edgier cast of characters, was the work of Doctor Manhattan. Somehow, for reasons still mysterious to us, his cosmic blue touch interfered in the DC Universe, and removed an entire decade from the timeline, resulting in all of the characters becoming younger, relationships being wiped from history, and the other drastic timeline changes that defined the post-New 52 universe.
Why? We don't know yet, and given Doctor Manhattan's distant outlook on humanity, it's hard to guess. At the end of Watchmen, he did say he was going to try to create life. Why not experiment with an entire universe, as well? Well, about that...
12 He's Been Messing with Entire Universes Since "Before Watchmen"
That casual line about "trying to create some life" at the end of Watchmen, of course, is the beginning of the thread that leads us to Rebirth, but there have been a couple of additional hints along the way. The most significant of these is in the prequel comic Before Watchmen: Doctor Manhattan by J. Michael Straczynski and Adam Hughes, which plays a lot with the notion of alternate realities and Osterman's ability not only to simultaneously perceive them, but also to pinpoint where realities diverge from one another and are created.
The key scene is in the fourth issue, depicted above. Here, Doctor Manhattan seems to create a universe in his hands — "Just a little energy to accelerate evolution... combine protein and knit DNA into symphonies of elegance and potentiality..." — there are some theories that this event may in fact be the creation of the New 52 DC universe. It's hard to say, since it's still somewhat unclear whether Osterman actually birthed the New 52, or whether he simply "created" it by removing 10 years from the timeline, but we'll find out soon.
11 He is a Half-Jewish German Refugee
In the narrative of Watchmen itself, we see very little of the human Jonathon Osterman's beginnings. Though we do learn that his father was a watchmaker, and we discover what motivated Osterman to become a scientist, the reader is never given any reason to believe that Osterman himself is anything but a natural born American citizen. Nor is there any information about where his family might come from.
The prequel Before Watchmen: Dr. Manhattan fills in this backstory by revealing that Osterman is actually a refugee from Germany, born to a Jewish mother. In 1939, his family runs away from the Nazis before they can take in his mother. Though Jon and his father successfully make it to New York, his mother is killed during the escape. This knowledge gives the reader an intriguing and painful perspective on a being who is constantly re-experiencing his own past. Of all the things to have to relive...
10 The Science Checks Out
Okay, so there aren't any real life glowing blue men walking around in our world — well, other than the Blue Man Group — but compared to most superheroes, the relative realism used in depicting Doctor Manhattan's omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, omni-everything abilities has been noted and praised by real life academics, scientists, and philosophers.
According to James Kakalios, a noted physics professor who worked as the scientific consultant for the movie adaptation of Watchmen, the intrinsic field generator that first gives Osterman his powers — and even his powers themselves —have a basis in reality. The intrinsic field is powered by electromagnetic forces, as well as strong and weak forces, which Kakalios claims would be necessary for a person or device to be able to manipulate matter in the way that Doctor Manhattan does. Additionally, his teleportation abilities could be explained through quantum tunneling. Despite the wide array of powers that he exhibits, all of them are fairly believable within the realm of physics.
So basically, while we don't have a Doctor Manhattan in our world yet, it's more likely that he could exist than a being like Superman. Scary thought.
9 He was named after the Manhattan Project
The rebirth of Jon Osterman is the fuse that lights the Watchmen universe. Immediately upon his resurrection as a blue demigod, he is picked up and employed as a tool/weapon by the United States government. With Doctor Manhattan on their side, the US easily wins the war in Vietnam, and he becomes a symbol of their power. Like any symbol, this new Osterman needs a name, and the government gives him one: Doctor Manhattan.
But the name "Doctor Manhattan" is not a tribute to one of the United States's biggest cities. Rather, it's a direct reference to the Manhattan Project, the WWII development project that produced the first atomic bombs. This name is chosen so that Doctor Manhattan's presence will strike fear in the hearts of their enemies, specifically the Soviet Union, and signify that the UnitedStates has control over the most powerful force in the world. Or so they think.
8 There's a Band Named After Him
But hey, regardless of where the moniker comes from, Doctor Manhattan is a memorable name for a memorable character in a memorable comic book, so tributes to him have been abundant over the years. One of those tributes is the Illinois alternative/indie rock band "Dr. Manhattan," formed in the early 2000s. Shortly after reaching public awareness, Dr. Manhattan signed with Vagrant Records, and they played Warped Tour two years running (2007-2008). Though the band broke up years ago, and played their "final" show in 2010, they've reunited multiple times, with their most recent performance being as opening act for The Front Bottoms in 2014.
Though the band's name is certainly derived from Alan Moore's comic, their stage performances don't involve them getting painted blue and performing naked. Their first album was self-titled, but their promotional EP was called Are You Bald? Listen guys, there's no need to rub it in. It's hard to keep your hair when you've been disintergrated and reassembled.
7 He's So Powerful That He Can't Do Anything
Compared to other, more traditional super powered beings on his level, Doctor Manhattan has seemingly no weaknesses. No Kryptonite, no problems with the color yellow, nothing like that. But he does have a weakness, albeit a complex one. Because of his omniscience -- because he knows everything that that has happened or will happen to him-- he is unable to really do anything of his own free will... or so he says, when he tells Laurie that he's still a puppet — he's just a puppet who can "see the strings."
Doctor Manhattan embodies deterministic philosophies, as he experiences time in a predetermined fashion, as if everything that will happen already has been decided beforehand. This is what leads him to becoming the apathetic being that we meet by the time of Watchmen, since his enormous knowledge of time and space has led him to see human concerns as largely pointless.
6 He's the Most Important Character in Watchmen
Okay, so Rorschach might be crazy, but he's basically the protagonist of the story. The Comedian's death launches everything off. Dan and Laurie are the most human characters. Veidt, of course, is the character who pushes the story toward its dramatic conclusion. But when it comes down to it, the entire world of Watchmen is formed around the existence of Doctor Manhattan, and how his arrival changes a world similar to ours into something altogether more tangled and dangerous.
Doctor Manhattan is the only actual superhero in the story. He wins the Vietnam war, resulting in Nixon being celebrated and then reelected over and over again. Everything revolves around Manhattan and his actions. The movie's ending, which has Veidt frame Osterman for the devastation instead of faking an alien attack, is a change from the source material, but it's one that ties in closely with how important Osterman is to the story.
5 His Murder of Rorschach was a Mercy Killing, According to Alan Moore
One of the darkest, most emotional scenes of Watchmen is during the climax. New York has been attacked and Rorschach becomes desperately intent on making sure the world knows what actually happens. The objectivist vigilante storms out into the snowy wilderness, where he is stopped by Doctor Manhattan. After Rorschach erupts in a passionate moment of rage and grief, Doctor Manhattan incinerates him into nothingness.
But why? According to an old interview with Alan Moore, Manhattan's killing of Rorschach is not because Manhattan's philosophy is aligned with Veidt's, but rather, a mercy killing: he doesn't believe that Rorschach will make it back to society alive, and a painless incineration spares him the agony of slowly freezing to death.
But why does he lie about it later on, never admitting that he's the one who killed Rorschach? To this, Moore said that it's in order to make the situation less painful for Laurie and Dan. Since both of them already must go through the rest of their lives knowing the truth about a catastrophic incident that they can never tell anyone about, Doctor Manhattan lies so that they can be spared the feeling of being implicated in Rorschach's murder, on top of everything else.
4 It's Not Billy Crudup's Body in the Movie
Of course, the actor who will forever be identified with Doctor Manhattan is Billy Crudup, who portrayed him in the movie. Though Doctor Manhattan is a computer generated character, his voice, facial expressions, and mannerisms all belong to Crudup. In addition, Crudup's motion capture suit was equipped head to toe with 2500 LED lights in order to render his blue glow in the real world.
But one thing that didn't belong to Billy Crudup was Doctor Manhattan's crazily jacked blue body, which is naked for the majority of the film, revealing... well, everything. According to Crudup, none of Doctor Manhattan's body is actually him. The character design for Doctor Manhattan's body was based on the physique of fitness model and sometimes actor Greg Plitt. Crudup's head was later "frankensteined" onto the CG model constructed by animators. These elements of CGI only add to the eerie, post-human presences impression Doctor Manhattan creates.
3 He Has a Regular Human Voice
One of the more surprising elements of the movie's portrayal of Doctor Manhattan was the total normalcy of the character's voice. No reverberations, no echo, no weird amplification effects; just a regular voice, a meek voice, the same voice he had as Jon Osterman. This seems to be in contrast to the comic, where his voice is presented in blue dialogue bubbles instead of white ones.
But really, this stylistic choice is a logical one. According to Crudup, when he and director Zack Snyder were discussing what approach to take for the voice of a real life Greek god, they decided to go with something ungodlike, because there's no reason that Osterman would want to present himself that way. Since Doctor Manhattan's physical form is merely a representation of his energies that Osterman uses around other people, his "voice" would be whatever he wanted it to be. Thus, he wouldn't choose a powerful or menacing voice that might scare people, and would instead adopt a tone that puts people at ease with his presence as much as possible. Makes sense.
2 He Was Almost Played by Arnold Schwarzenegger
In an alternate reality that will never be glimpsed by anyone except Doctor Manhattan himself, a Watchmen movie would have been made back in the early to mid 1990s, produced by Joel Silver and directed by Terry Gilliam, of Brazil fame. When it came to portraying the part of Doctor Manhattan, Silver wanted to cast bodybuilder-turned-superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger. This made a lot of sense at the time, since Watchmen didn't have the widespread awareness of a character like Batman, and this was in the era of big movie stars. Arnold, of course, would have been coming off the massive success of Terminator 2.
But before we ever got the chance to see Arnold play a nuclear physicist or wax philosophical about the nature of time, the film fell apart. The closest we'll ever get is Arnold's bald head and blue face in Batman & Robin, though that definitely wasn't his most celebrated performance.
For what it's worth, Arnold wasn't the only big star at one point rumored for Doctor Manhattan. Keanu Reeves was also almost cast during Watchmen's long, tangled, decades-long journey to the big screen. But speaking of the complicated years of development Watchmen went through on its way to the multiplex...
1 In Earlier Drafts of the Movie, the Ending Would've Been... Really Weird
To fans, Watchmen is the gospel of comic books, so any changes that the movie made were endlessly analyzed and shouted over. The relatively minor change in the movie's ending, which still preserved the central message of the graphic novel, was a point of discussion in many circles. But if the movie were made back in the 1990s, the changes to the comic would have been a lot more severe.
Many screenwriters struggled to condense Watchmen's complex story into a feature-length screenplay. Among these was Sam Hamm, the writer of Tim Burton's Batman movie. Hamm's treatment, along with including such strange touches as an action-packed opening scene at the Statue of Liberty, completely changed the ending.
In Hamm's script, Veidt's master plan is to go back in time and kill Jon Osterman before he becomes Doctor Manhattan, thus preventing the events of the movie from ever occurring and avoiding nuclear war with the Soviet Union. Watchmen's heroes fight to stop Veidt, and he is actually vaporized by his own time travel machine, but Doctor Manhattan goes ahead and finishes Veidt's plan anyway, sacrificing himself. This is all strange enough, but then the movie ends with the readjusted timeline in place: a world much like ours, where Watchmen is just a comic. Suddenly, Rorschach, Silk Spectre, and Nite Owl wake up in 1980s New York, where they are arrested by the police in a clear setup for a hypothetical sequel.
Needless to say, Zack Snyder's adaptation ended up being a lot closer to the comic.

Copper's Antimicrobial Powers
(Pictured above: Copper cathodes at our Carmen de Andacollo operation.)
Each year, some seven million hospital-acquired infections occur in healthcare facilities around the world. These infections not only affect patient health, but also prolong hospital stays, costing individuals and health systems more than $80 billion globally. In the United States alone, hospital infections result in an estimated 100,000 deaths annually.
What do hospital-acquired infections have to do with mining? New presented at a World Health Organization conference from a multi-site clinical trial in the US demonstrated that using copper surfaces in intensive care unit rooms resulted in a 40.4% reduction in the risk of acquiring a hospital infection.
The use of copper as an antimicrobial agent is not new. In fact, copper's antimicrobial powers have been used for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians used copper as a sterilization agent for drinking water and the Aztecs treated sore throats with copper.

God save the peach cobbler.
This peach cobbler recipe is totally delicious and absolutely addictive. My husband claims he could eat it 'til he's sick, and I might be right there with him. It's crispy. It's gooey. It's perfectly sweet and caramelized in the middle with a magically tender crunch on top.

The kitchen T-shirt, why not?
When I started out in the professional kitchen, the standard issue uniform was made I think of plastic made into strings and then woven together into what would later resemble some sort of chef's jacket. With the hotel name stitched on, I wore it proudly, strutting my stuff around the kitchen, showing off to all and sundry that I work for the greatest hotel in Manila. Over time the material was, shall we say, grew uncomfortable.
For anyone who knows what the professional kitchen is like, you know where I am coming from. It's hot, it's fast, it's cramped, it's dangerous. The uniform proved to be a hindrance in most cases while working. The material, being plastic based, or some synthetic crap, absorbs contact heat like anything. As splash of hot oil? 1st degree burn since the burning liquid stays on the jacket. Hot oven blast after opening the door? Your torso continues to bake up to the time when you lay out the dishes on the buffet. The Hotel school I attended always emphasized the importance of an undershirt. Now I know why. It insulates you from the heat. It absorbs blood and sweat easily. It protects the scraping of cheap polyester material across your backside. And when you are off duty, you still look presentable, since the food splatters have not marred the beauty of the graphic design you so painstakingly had to scour the entire mall for.
I have a few T-shirts. Most of them white, but I do have some cool black ones, courtesy of my girlfriend who used to work for the liquor industry. It does make a difference when working with a comfortable undershirt. A crew neck T-shirt is best. For the stylish, Carson from the Queer Eye suggest a V-neck. Not for kitchen work, though. The V-neck is best prancing around in suit.
I made the following designs, in addition to what is already on store. I am going to make a few prints for my work. This at least makes it special. My own. Made of a great cotton blend, they are flexible,
The designs are simple. Minimalist. Straight to the point. Such as my cooking. What designs do you like? What do you think of the designs above? Some have already made orders. Interested? Leave a comment, please.

Once I returned from Easter Island, I wanted to stay a few days in Santiago.
I stayed at the Hotel Torremayor. This was a very nice medium priced hotel that appeared to be fairly new. It was only 4 stories high so I asked for the top floor. Only the manager (who was never around) spoke good English. The others tried. Not much room for antennas, so I just stuck my mobile whips out the window, as I was only here 3 days.

The application said to send two passport size photos. They sent them back saying they didn't need them along with a receipt for my fee. But no license.
Upon arriving in Santiago, I set out on the trek to find my license. I had no idea where to start, I spoke next to no Spanish and it was raining. Santiago is a beautiful city even on rainy days, complete with an excellent subway system and a rule that a cab fare can never be more than the US equivalent of about $1.50. I spent the entire day but I found the right place, learned a lot of Spanish words and the sun came out.
For those of you wishing to save time, get into any cab and ask to go to Amunategui 178 which is a corner building. On the 7th floor is the Ministry of Telecommunications. When you exit the elevators, go into the office on the left that has double doors. Once inside turn a little to the right and there is a small window that says "Radioaficionado" (this translates to Radio Amateur). Then gentleman spoke no English but understood "WJ2O". He went through a small pile of paper and to my surprise pulled out my license all typed, ready and paid for. I shook his hand and set back to the hotel with a feeling of accomplishment.

Cynthia Nixon, often called Miranda Hobbs by followers of HBO's "Intercourse and the Metropolis" collection, is reportedly contemplating a run for governor in New York – difficult Democrat Andrew Cuomo.
Nixon has gotten began on her marketing campaign, assembling a employees that features veteran operatives who've labored for New York Metropolis Mayor Invoice de Blasio, in keeping with NY1.
"Many involved New Yorkers have been encouraging Cynthia to run for workplace, and as she has mentioned beforehand, she is going to proceed to discover it," a spokesperson informed the information outlet. "If and when such a choice is made, Cynthia will you'll want to make her plans public."
Nixon, 51, isn't any stranger to politics. She's typically butted heads with Cuomo over points pertaining to public schooling. She's advocated for a rise in funding for public faculties, breast most cancers consciousness and homosexual rights, amongst different issues. She's protested President Trump and campaigned for former President Barack Obama.
Right here's a take a look at Nixon's political advocacy and a few of the points she's keen about.
Public faculties
Alongside together with her spouse, Nixon has championed causes associated to New York Metropolis's public faculties, together with an effort to cut back public faculty classroom sizes. It was throughout this marketing campaign that Nixon met her future spouse Christine Marinoni, in keeping with a profile in The Advocate.
Nixon was as soon as arrested throughout a protest at Metropolis Corridor geared toward rising funding to public faculties.
"As a public faculty Mother and a member of the Alliance for High quality Schooling, Cynthia has persistently been on the entrance line within the battle for our public faculties."
"We marched on up, sat down and blocked the doorway," she informed The New York Instances. "The police very politely requested us to maneuver, and we declined. They pulled up the police van and put us in."
The Tony Award winner can be a spokeswoman for the Alliance for High quality Schooling, a New York-based group that advocates for "top quality tutorial alternatives."
"As a public faculty mother and a member of the Alliance for High quality Schooling, Cynthia has persistently been on the entrance line within the battle for our public faculties," Billy Easton, govt director of AQE, beforehand informed Folks.
"Cynthia has led rallies, spoke at press conferences, lobbied elected officers and written opinion items for newspapers calling for instructional alternative for each scholar and has been gutsy in calling on Governor Andrew Cuomo to cease opposing instructional fairness," he added.
In an op-ed for The Journal Information, a New York newspaper, Nixon criticized the Trump administration's assist for constitution faculties and implored New York to place extra sources into public faculties.
Homosexual rights
Nixon was honored with the Human Rights Marketing campaign's Visibility Award in February 2018 as a result of she is a "fearless and outspoken advocate for all LGBTQ individuals," HRC President Chad Griffin mentioned.
"Cynthia makes use of her expertise and public platform to talk out for equality on this nation and across the globe, and within the course of, she is altering numerous hearts and minds," Griffin mentioned in an announcement.
A 12 months earlier than she was awarded the consideration, Nixon protested Trump's immigration ban at a rally held exterior New York Metropolis's Stonewall Inn, an necessary historic web site for homosexual rights. She criticized Vice President Mike Pence, calling him the "poster boy for anti-LGBT rhetoric, laws and conversion remedy."
"As LGBT individuals, we all know how necessary popping out is, however I'd argue that our popping out has by no means been extra necessary than it's proper now," Nixon mentioned.
Nixon has been married to activist Marinoni since 2012. The pair lobbied to legalize homosexual marriage in Washington, the place Marinoni is from.
Breast most cancers consciousness
After battling breast most cancers herself, Nixon turned a spokeswoman for the Susan G. Komen for the Treatment Basis.
Nixon stored her personal analysis quiet whereas she obtained therapy, telling ABC Information she didn't need paparazzi on the hospital. After listening to the information from her physician, she mentioned she "felt scared" and didn't "need this to be taking place."
The most cancers was discovered early, in 2006, and Nixon was capable of beat it. She additionally had some prior expertise with breast most cancers; her mom efficiently battled it when Nixon was a toddler, in keeping with ABC Information.
To deal with it, Nixon had a lumpectomy and underwent greater than six weeks of radiation, Fox Information beforehand reported.
Entry to abortion
Nixon has lengthy been a supporter of Deliberate Parenthood and abortion rights, attending protests in Washington, D.C., and penning editorials in assist of the reproductive well being group.
"I'm satisfied that abortion rights are human rights not solely due to compassion for my mom but additionally as a result of I'm a mom of three," Nixon wrote in an op-ed for Time, detailing her mom's personal abortion. "Many people who made the choice to turn out to be mother and father have skilled a novel need for parenthood. However that by no means mutes our need for abortion to be secure, authorized and out there."

Apple iPhone 8 event to be on September 12
Millions of fans will see for the first time officially the new iPhone models on September 12, says The Wall Street Journal. According to the media Apple will reveal all three of its phones on that day. Data comes from "anonymous but familiar" with the company's plans.
The event is likely to take place at the company's new headquarters, at the Steve Jobs Theater on its new Apple Park campus, according to the story. September 12 was mentioned earlier and and aligns with the traditional early September window Apple has used to announce new iPhones over the past few years.
On this date, we can expect three new models. In addition to the expected iPhone 7S and the bigger 7S Plus, which will likely be similar to last year's releases, the big star must be the new high-end iPhone 8.
iPhone 8 will be Available in 64 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB Versions
The so-called iPhone 8 — the names are all assumptions at this point — would be a new high-end model rumored to have a large OLED screen covering a nearly bezel-less front face, with an all-new facial recognition feature replacing the Touch ID fingerprint sensor.
It's expected to be in short supply and carry a price upwards of $1,000 (or roughly converted to £775 for the UK and AU$1,265 for Australia, but would likely be priced even higher).
Color choices will, if KGI Securities analyst — and historically good Apple predictor — Ming-Chi Kuo is to be believed, be limited to silver, gold, and black. Only a few more weeks till we'll get to watch Tim Cook on a livestream at the Apple's Event and find out for sure.

Trusting God to Be God
Aim: For each child to depend on God completely to keep His promises
Core Competency: Personal God
Objectives: The children will
Key Verse: Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. ( Isaiah 12:2 )
Story: "Smackdown - Jacob Wrestles with God " ( Genesis 32:1-32 )
Materials Required:
Eye on Science:
Advance Preparation:Cut six strips of newspaper one column wide (about 5 cm / 2 inches) and at least 50 cm / 2 feet in length. On half of the strips, coat the center two thirds of one side of each with a thin layer of rubber cement and let dry (about 30 minutes). Then dust all of the rubber cement with flour so that it is not sticky. We'll call the unprepared newspaper strips "self-willed strips", and the prepared newspaper strips "obedient strips".
In Class: Tell the following in your own words:
"What has been your greatest challenge? Perhaps transfering to a new school - making new friends, working with new teachers, and learning a new set of rules. You have a choice when faced with a challenge such as this: You can try to make things work in your own power, by doing whatever it takes to 'fit in' (swear, lie, be mean to others, cheat on tests), or you can determine to obey God completely and trust Him to keep His promise ('All things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose' Romans 8:28 ).
"If you choose to obey God, you can be absolutely confident that God will keep His promise.
"In today's lesson, Jacob faces the greatest challenge of His life. He prepares to meet His brother Esau, who has sworn to kill him. As you can imagine, that makes Jacob more than a little nervous!
"Jacob has a long history of 'helping' God keep His promises.
"Jacob begins by "helping" God keep his promise to protect Jacob as well. He divides his family and possessions into two groups, so that if Esau attacks one the other might escape ( Genesis 32:7-8 ). He sent 580 animals ahead of both groups as gifts to Esau, to 'butter him up' and perhaps gain mercy ( Genesis 32:13-21 ). Finally, alone on the far bank of the Jabbok River, he prepares to spend the night ( Genesis 32:22-23 ).
"In all of this, Jacob was showing a lack of faith in God. Contrast his actions with a young lady named Corrie Ten Boom, who lived in Germany during World War II. As a Christian, she felt strongly that she should protect the Jewish people from being hurt and killed by the Nazis. She hid many Jews in her attic.
"One day the Nazi secret police knocked on her door and asked if she was hiding any Jews. She could have lied to protect herself, but she felt strongly that she should tell the truth and trust God to protect her. 'Sure,' she replied quite honestly. 'My attic is full of them!'
"To her amazement, the police thought she was joking, laughed, and walked on to the next house. God honored her obedience with His promised protection.
"Jacob had not yet reached the faith that Corrie Ten Boom displayed. But that was about to change!
"During the night, someone came and began to wrestle with Jacob. At first, Jacob believed he was winning. After a night of wrestling, however, the "man" gently touched Jacob's thigh; immediately the bone was wrenched from its socket. Jacob realized that this "man" was actually God, and God's power was infinitely greater than his. He clung to God and begged for God's blessing.
"This event marks a turning point in Jacob's life. From this point forward, Jacob depends less and less on himself, and more and more on God's faithfulness. Jacob's wrenched hip left him physically weaker (he limped for the remainder of his life), but spiritually stronger.
"Are you depending on your own strength to win spiritual battles? If so, imagine yourself battling the enemy with sticks, rocks and bow and arrows while God waits behind you with F-16 fighter jets, M-1 tanks, and nuclear-tipped missiles. Victory is assured if only you will get out of the way and let the battle belong to the Lord. God keeps his promises; our role is to obey."
Take a self-willed strip and show both sides. Explain that life brings many challenges; how we respond is critical. Fold the strip in half and cut off the fold, letting it fall to the floor. Show the two separate strips. "Fix it yourself" (intentionally child-like) using the transparent tape, explaining that you "don't need God", you can fix it with "self-willed tape". Show the amusing result.
Take a obedient stripe and show both sides. Explain that a better way is to "Trust God to be God" and rely on His promises. Fold the strip in half (rubber cement to the inside)and cut off the fold, letting it fall to the floor. Holding one end (and without pulling on the other), let the strip fall open. The scissors will have pressed the rubber cement on the undersides together, forming one perfect seam; the strip will appear to have been "repaired" and to form one single strip. You may refold and cut several more times if you like.
Emphasize that God keeps His promises, and so we should never try to force our plans into His plan. Rather, we should carefully obey His Word, and trust God to simply be God.
Application: In what area of your life are you not obeying God? What promise of God are you reluctant to trust today? Will you commit that area to Him, and change your actions to demonstrate your faith in God's ability to keep His promises?

My main focus race this year is the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc, a 167 km race around the Mont Blanc Mountains in the French Alps. In order to familiarize myself with the route, I decided to run the course over three days whilst in Europe in mid-July. The plan was to stay in refuges at night, which was a new experience for me as we don't get refuges on the mountains in South Africa. When Ryno Griesel—a Salomon athlete from South Africa—and I recce'd (created pace notes of) the Drakensberg Mountains before our FKT attempt in 2014, we camped out at night and had to carry quite a lot of gear. The refuges on Mont Blanc meant I could run the entire 167 km course with minimal gear and food. I could re-stock with water and nutrition at the various refuges or towns I ran through and, at night, the refuges provide a hot dinner, shower and a bed. Ha! This was a luxury compared to spooning with Ryno in a tent or cave in the Drakensberg.
On day one I set off from Chamonix and the plan was to get to Refuge Bertone just past Courmayeur. This was over 80 kms away and was going to be my longest day. I set off early in the morning, but after an hour or so I saw a pastry shop open in Les Houches and had to stop for a coffee and croissant. After a quick stop I dragged myself out of the shop and was on my way again. It was an absolute prefect day with clear skies and I got some insane views of the Alps. I couldn't help myself and stopped to take one too many photo's but it was just that good. At Les Contamines, only 30 km or so into my run, I stopped to get some cheese and cold meats. I had never run the next 40 kms and I didn't know what to expect but I wanted make sure I had enough food. About 5 km past the Les Contamines I stopped to snack on some cheese and ended up just about eating all my supplies. For some reason, I was really hungry. It was now time to pick up the pace; at this rate I was not going to make it to my planed destination for the day.
I kept a steady pace for the rest of the day and really enjoyed myself in epic running conditions. I passed loads of hikers and even a few crazy mountain bikers before making my descent into Courmayeur. The descent seemed to last forever and I could start to feel my legs were a little tired and refuge Bertone felt like it was a very long way away. I finally made it down to Courmayeur at about 7:30 p.m. and, to be honest, I was tempted to try and find a place there to spend the night. I knew refuge Bertone stopped serving dinner at 8:30 p.m. so if I was going to continue I had to hurry. I decided to try and make refuge Bertone for dinner. It was a mad scramble up the steep climb and sweat was pouring off my face. Yes, I made it in time for dinner and just before sunset. I walked into the dining room all sweaty (and I am sure very smelly) and got a few 'looks' from some of the other guests, but I wasn't too phased. It had been a great day for me with over 80km's in the bank and about 4500 meters of ascent and descent. Life was good. I drank a beer, ate dinner, had a shower and then went to sleep.
I woke up on day two to a bit of a thunderstorm and rain. I was feeling a little lazy, but had run over 80kms the day before. I grabbed breakfast and headed out onto the course aiming to get just past Champex. Day two was just over 40kms with lots of downhill. I started off a bit slowly, so at the first refuge I passed, I decided to stop for a coffee. It did the trick and even the rain stopped. I made it down into the town La Fouly and did a mandatory stop at the local supermarket for some cheese and more cheese. Not long after leaving La Fouly I made it to my refuge just past Champex. I made it with lots of time before dinner this time so I could enjoy a shower and a big beer before dinner.
I awoke on the morning of Day three and was looking forward to making it back to Chamonix today. It had been an awesome few days and I really just enjoyed cruising the route alone, in my own time and with not too much to worry about except getting lost. My body was tired but most importantly my mind was clear. There is something very refreshing and pure about running a long way. It is hard to explain, but if you have done it you will know what I mean. Day three involved epic views, a few chamois and a couple of stops at the refuges along the way for ice cream and Red Bull. Yeah, I made it to Chamonix and by this stage I was dreaming of a giant hamburger. I won't lie I was feeling a little tired, but pretty stoked with myself for completing the loop around the Mont Blanc. They are some crazy big mountains and very humbling.
I met up with my friend and professional photographer Kelvin Trautman (who took the amazing photos that accompany this blog post) at the first burger restaurant I could find. They must have seen I was hungry as my burger had two patties in it! For the next few days Kelvin and stayed up in a few of the refuges to take some photos. The weather conditions were perfect and we were spoilt with some majestic sunrises and sunsets on the mountain. It was not all that easy though as Kelvin made me do my fair share of running to get the 'perfect shot' and he even convinced me to jump into a frozen lake (Lac Blanc). It took him a fair amount of convincing and he actually had to jump in first before I agreed—anything to get the shot. Jokes aside, Kelvin is a master with a camera in hand. The one lowlight of the trip was the snoring that went on at night in the communal sleeping dorms. I woke up once or twice thinking there was a giant elephant in the bed above me. Ear plugs did not block out this roar!
It was an epic week of playing in the Alps and I cannot wait to get back to Chamonix. There is something really special about the Mont Blanc mountains.

Trump came to office on the promise of the American economy will boom…he will ax crappy trade agreements….he will make the free market blossom for ALL Americans.
The stock markets are going well and Trump points to that as proof positive that he is doing what he promised.
It is true that markets are doing well……sadly the same cannot be said for the economy of this country….at best it is mediocre.
Then why are Americans pleased and satisfied with this situation?
A strange thing seems to be happening to the US economy. On surveys, businesspeople and consumers say the future looks bright. But recent economic activity hasn't appeared very robust.
Andrew Ross Sorkin of the New York Times noted this in a recent article about mergers and acquisitions. A number of surveys have been reporting that chief executive officers are highly optimistic. For example, the website Chief Executive and the Wall Street Journal/Vistage Small Business CEO Survey both report a surge in CEO confidence since the 2016 election, while Business Roundtable's CEO Economic Outlook Survey finds an average level of confidence.
But as Sorkin reports, M&A activity is at its lowest level since 2013, and has fallen 40 percent in the past two years. Share buybacks have also slowed. Those "hard" numbers indicate that whatever CEOs are saying on paper, they aren't taking actions that signal confidence in the future of their businesses. Capacity usage, which fell slightly in May, is another indicator of that true business sentiment is far from giddy.

It is typical….Americans have always been satisfied with mediocrity.

When choosing furniture for your kitchen, ask yourself if you want to use art as inspiration behind your furniture choices. Modern art employs simple shapes, clean lines and bold color choices.

The rationale behind this one is build a text list. Thus, instead of merely collecting email addresses, it is possible to get people on a list with their phone numbers. This might be incredibly valuable especially with the younger generation that's more likely to text than just email.
Leadlinks are hyperlinks that you insert into your Broadcast emails by your email service provider.
When the recipient clicks on that link, they are Instantly registered. They won't have to enter additional information. This is particularly practical for webinar registration and the like.
After a quick registration process, you'll enter The dashboard and also be encouraged to create your very first effort. By default, you are taken to Leadpages at which you are able to create a landing page. You are able to get into the site's additional features through the navigation bar.
To Begin your initial landing page, click the Let's Do It button. The website will walk you through the process by asking you questions regarding the essence of your landing page.

How you make a landing page depends on which Type of template you choose (drag or standard).
Standard Templates
Standard templates are simple with small Room for modification. You'll have the ability to edit the text and substitute the sample images but won't be able to transfer any of those components around. You can opt to hide any component you don't have any use for but users need to do this with caution. Hiding elements can result in noticeably empty spaces.

Drag-and-Drop Templates
Drag-and-drop templates work a bit differently. Right off the bat, you'll notice that you have additional options. The sidebar homes four buttons: widgets, page design, page design, and page monitoring.
By dragging and dropping widgets into your landing Webpage, you are able to insert new components to edit. You can add text, headlines, images, videos, buttons, and much more. It's here where you are going to encounter among Leadpages' most infamous kinks. The website's drag-and-drop functionality is flawed.
Placing elements where you need them can be a pain. For starters, you can only place them in areas that the template permits you to. You will find grids where widgets could be inserted while some other places are off limits. Then there's the issue with precision. The widgets tend to snap into position. And as is the case throughout our testing, they wind up nowhere near its planned destination.
Assessing the text and images, however, is a cinch. Click here on any placeholder text and then substitute the existing one with yours. You may resize and move parts.

For example, clicking on the Page Layout icons Shows you the various section the page has. With this template, there are two sections — the content body and the footer.

You'll find All of Your saved landing pages at the dashboard. You can return and create more edits, rename the file, produce a split evaluation (A/B testing), duplicate the landing page, or have it deleted.
Split testing is only available for Pro and Advanced plan associates.
Customer Service
Customer service does exist but priority is given To innovative subscribers. They've got access to some 1-on-1 Quick Start Telephone as well as free digital workshops. Those under the standard plan might need to make do with chat service (9 AM to 5 PM Central time during weekdays) or start a support ticket.
You can publish your landing pages on their own or under your domain name. However, publishing under a Subdomain can possibly turn off your viewers. It is advised that you print under your own domainname.
To do that, click on the user icon onto the top-right Part of the screen to open the drop-down menu. Choose"Domains" to load the webpage at which you can join your domain.
From here, Leadpages will guide you to the process Of linking your own domain name.
The lively HTML options Allow You to publish the Landing page on any website. However, there are means to integrate the instrument in other CMS such as WordPress, Squarespace, and other popular content management systems.
Users can register on a monthly, yearly, or Two-year basis with all the two-year plan being the very cost effective provided you are in for the long haul. There are three tiers to choose from: standard, pro, as well as advanced.
At $25/month, Leadpages is cheap enough for startups and one-man showrunners. The benefits of having the ability to design and deploy landing pages for lead generation compensate for the cost. But $48/month could be a steep price to pay given the small perks that you unlock at the level.

Weak place #2: restricted customization in standard templates
Leadpages themselves promote users not use their standard templates. There is barely any customization choices. The deficiency of drag-and-drop attribute is unavailable for standard templates.

While Leadpages does have its Merits, the abundance of landing page alternatives out from the marketplace along with The quirks of Leadpages' builder tool makes it hard to recommend.

Digital media provides opportunities to ensure public has accurate drug safety information
THURSDAY, June 26, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Patients frequently turn to digital media for drug information; however, many Wikipedia entries about medications aren't up-to-date and accurate, according to a perspective piece published in the June 26 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
Thomas J. Hwang, from the Blackstone Group in London, and colleagues explored how messages from regulators related to prescription medicines are diffused digitally by examining Google searches and Wikipedia pages 60 days before and after the announcement issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (Jan. 1, 2011, through Dec. 31, 2012).
The researchers identified safety warnings for 22 prescription drugs. In total, these drugs triggered 13 million searches on Google and five million Wikipedia page views annually during the study period. There was an average 82 percent increase in Google searches for the drugs during the week after the FDA announcement and a 175 percent increase in views of Wikipedia pages for the drugs on the day of the announcement, compared to baseline trends. Wikipedia pages pertaining to the drugs with new safety warnings were updated 41 percent of the time within two weeks after the warning was issued.
"Given the frequency with which patients seek information on the Internet, taking advantage of electronic media appears to be a promising means for the FDA to ensure that patients have ready access to accurate and comprehensive information, including timely updates pertaining to drug-safety issues," the authors write.
