The Age of Kingdom: The Content and Result of God's Work
Classic Words of God:
In the Age of Kingdom, God uses the word to usher in a new age, to change the means of His work, and to do the work for the entire age. This is the principle by which God works in the Age of Word. He became flesh to speak from different perspectives, enabling man to truly see God, who is the Word appearing in the flesh, and His wisdom and wonder. Such work is done to better achieve the goals of conquering man, perfecting man, and eliminating man. This is the true meaning of using the word to work in the Age of Word. Through the word, man comes to know the work of God, the disposition of God, the essence of man, and what man ought to enter into. Through the word, all the work God wishes to do in the Age of Word is accomplished. Through the word, man is revealed, eliminated, and tried. Man has seen the word, heard the word, and become aware of the existence of the word. As a result, man believes in the existence of God; man believes the almightiness and wisdom of God, as well as God's heart of love for man and His desire to save man. Though the word "word" is simple and ordinary, the word from the mouth of God become flesh shakes the entire universe; His word transforms the heart of man, the notions and the old disposition of man, and the old appearance of the entire world. Through the ages, only the God of this day works in such a manner, and only He speaks and saves man thus. Thereafter, man lives under the guidance of the word, shepherded and supplied by the word; they live in the world of the word, live within the curses and blessings of God's word, and even more live under the judgment and chastisement of the word. These words and this work are all for the sake of man's salvation, achieving God's will, and changing the original appearance of the world of old creation. God created the world with the word, leads men throughout the universe with the word, conquers and saves them with the word. Finally, He shall use the word to bring the entire world of old to an end. Only then is the management plan wholly complete. Throughout the Age of Kingdom, God uses the word to do His work and achieve the results of His work; He does not work wonders or perform miracles; He merely does His work through the word.
from "The Age of Kingdom Is the Age of Word" in The Word Appears in the Flesh
In the last days, Christ uses a variety of truths to teach man, expose the essence of man, and dissect his words and deeds. These words comprise various truths, such as man's duty, how man should obey God, how man should be loyal to God, how man ought to live out the normal humanity, as well as the wisdom and the disposition of God, and so on. These words are all directed at the essence of man and his corrupt disposition. In particular, those words that expose how man spurns God are spoken in regard to how man is an embodiment of Satan and an enemy force against God. In undertaking His work of judgment, God does not simply make clear the nature of man with just a few words; He exposes, deals with, and prunes it over the long term. These methods of exposure, dealing, and pruning cannot be substituted with ordinary words, but with the truth that man does not possess at all. Only methods of this kind are deemed judgment; only through judgment of this kind can man be subdued and thoroughly convinced into submission to God, and moreover gain true knowledge of God. What the work of judgment brings about is man's understanding of the true face of God and the truth about his own rebelliousness. The work of judgment allows man to gain much understanding of the will of God, of the purpose of God's work, and of the mysteries that are incomprehensible to him. It also allows man to recognize and know his corrupt substance and the roots of his corruption, as well as to discover the ugliness of man. These effects are all brought about by the work of judgment, for the substance of this work is actually the work of opening up the truth, the way, and the life of God to all those who have faith in Him. This work is the work of judgment done by God.
from "Christ Does the Work of Judgment With the Truth" in The Word Appears in the Flesh
In His final work of concluding the age, God's disposition is one of chastisement and judgment, which reveals all that is unrighteous, publicly judges all peoples, and perfects those who truly love Him. Only a disposition such as this can bring the age to an end. The last days have already arrived. All things will be classed according to their kind, and will be divided into different categories based on their nature. This is the time when God reveals people's outcome and their destination. If people do not undergo chastisement and judgment, then there will be no way of revealing their disobedience and unrighteousness. Only through chastisement and judgment can the end of all things be revealed. Man only shows his true colors when he is chastised and judged. Evil shall return to evil, good shall return to good, and people shall be classified according to their kind. Through chastisement and judgment, the end of all things will be revealed, so that the evil will be punished and the good will be rewarded, and all people will become subject under the dominion of God. All the work must be achieved through righteous chastisement and judgment. Because man's corruption has reached its peak and his disobedience has been too serious, only God's righteous disposition, which is principally one of chastisement and judgment and is revealed during the last days, can fully transform and complete man. Only this disposition can expose evil and thus severely punish all the unrighteous. … During the last days, only righteous judgment can classify man and bring man into a new realm. In this way, the entire age is brought to an end through God's righteous disposition of judgment and chastisement.
from "The Vision of God's Work (3)" in The Word Appears in the Flesh
God does the work of judgment and chastisement so that man may know Him, and for the sake of His testimony. Without His judgment of man's corrupt disposition, man would not know His righteous disposition that allows no offense, and could not turn his old knowledge of God into a new one. For the sake of His testimony, and for the sake of His management, He makes His entirety public, thus enabling man to achieve the knowledge of God, and change his disposition, and bear resounding testimony to God through God's public appearance. Change is achieved in the disposition of man through different kinds of God's work; without such changes in man's disposition, man would be unable to bear testimony to God, and could not be after God's heart. Changes in man's disposition signify that man has freed himself from Satan's bondage, has freed himself from the influence of darkness, and has truly become a model and specimen of God's work, has truly become a witness of God and someone who is after God's heart. Today, God incarnate has come to do His work on earth, and He requires that man achieve knowledge of Him, obedience to Him, testimony to Him—know His practical and normal work, obey all of His words and work which do not accord with the conceptions of man, and bear testimony to all His work of saving man, and all the deeds He does that conquer man. Those who bear testimony to God must have a knowledge of God; only this kind of testimony is accurate, and real, and only this kind of testimony can shame Satan. God uses those who have come to know Him through undergoing His judgment and chastisement, dealing and pruning, to bear testimony to Him. He uses those who have been corrupted by Satan to bear testimony to Him, and so too does He use those whose disposition has changed, and who have thus gained His blessings, to bear testimony to Him. He does not need man to praise Him in word only, nor does He need the praise and testimony of the ilk of Satan, who have not been saved by Him. Only those who know God are qualified to bear testimony to God, and only those whose disposition has changed are qualified to bear testimony to God, and God will not allow man to intentionally bring shame upon His name.
from "Only Those Who Know God Can Bear Testimony to God" in The Word Appears in the Flesh
Those who are able to stand firm during God's work of judgment and chastisement during the last days—that is, during the final work of cleansing—will be those who will enter into the final rest with God; therefore, those who enter into rest will all have broken free of Satan's influence and been obtained by God only after having undergone His final cleansing work. These people who have been ultimately obtained by God will enter into the final rest. The essence of God's work of chastisement and judgment is to cleanse humanity, and it is for the day of final rest. Otherwise, the whole of humanity will not be able to follow their own kind or enter into rest. This work is humanity's only path to enter into rest. Only God's work of cleansing will cleanse humanity of their unrighteousness, and only His work of chastisement and judgment will bring to light those disobedient things among humanity, thereby separating those who can be saved from those who cannot, and those who will remain from those who will not. When His work ends, those people who remain will be cleansed and enjoy a more wonderful second human life upon the earth as they enter a higher realm of humanity; in other words, they will enter into humanity's day of rest and live together with God. After those who cannot remain have undergone chastisement and judgment, their original forms will be entirely revealed; after this they will all be destroyed and, like Satan, will no longer be allowed to survive upon the earth. The humanity of the future will no longer contain any of this type of people; these people are not fit to enter the land of the ultimate rest, nor are they fit to enter the day of rest that God and man will share, for they are the targets of punishment and are the wicked, and they are not righteous people. … His ultimate work of punishing evil and rewarding good is entirely done in order to utterly purify all of humanity, so that He may bring an entirely holy humanity into eternal rest. This stage of His work is His most crucial work. It is the final stage of the whole of His management work. If God did not destroy the wicked but rather let them remain, then the whole of humanity would still not be able to enter into rest, and God would not be able to bring all of humanity into a better realm. This kind of work would not be completely finished. When He finishes His work, the whole of humanity will be entirely holy. Only in this manner can God peacefully live in rest.

Considerations When Buying the Best Bathroom Fan
A bathroom fan is necessary to have for any home. It does not just remove the dampness and obnoxious air in the bathroom, but it also keeps it fit to be used. There are a different kinds of bathroom fans out there in the industry today, and just prior to choosing, first look at a couple of things.
One thing to look at is the dimension of the fan you require. A basic rule for resolving this is to measure the dimensions of your bathroom in cubic feet, then multiply it and split it by sixty. That will be the quantity of moisture that your fan will have to suck per minute. Also select a fan depending on how much noise may be tolerable for you. You will find versions advertised as silent bathroom fans and those include an outer motor which may be set up in the loft.
Another thing it is possible to consider when picking a fan that's right for you is controls. You will find a few armed with sensors which turn on the motor when someone enters the toilet, and you will find others have to be operated manually. Automatic bathroom fans also come with a timer that hints when the fan should stop after a precise number of minutes after the sensor finds the person has gone. Automatic fans generally cost more because they are fitted with special sensors that allow them to run without manual operation. If your finances are flexible, there is no reason why you should not buy one of them. Or else, a manually controlled fan will still serve you nicely.
When picking a fan, it is also wise to start looking into the mount type which you want and also the place at which you would want the fan to be set up. These are things you can address with the salesperson who should know exactly what is ideal for you. Obviously, you also need to provide a description of this fan's place in your toilet, in addition to the way you need it mounted. A fan with an outside motor set up in the attic can run with minimal sound compared to one with the motor connected to it.
Nowadays, we could all use an opportunity to save our electrical bills, so it is also excellent to pick out a bathroom fan that is energy efficient. Start looking for tags which indicate just how much power the fan consume over a period and assess whether that is sensible. If you are not knowledgeable about these items, then you can ask for a friend, family member or colleague who is. It is also possible to talk to a salesperson about designs which are known to be energy-saving. With an energy efficient bathroom fan, you can put aside more of your earnings to have more savings.

Why does Shakespeare use the theme of illusion vs. reality in A Midsummer Nights Dream? I need help understanding the purpose of Shakespeare using illusion vs. reality.

starTop subjects are Literature, History, and Social Sciences
In his comedies, Shakespeare examines another theme, love, and all the various ways that it manifests in the human experience. In A Midsummer Night's Dream, he uses another thematic proposition, illusion versus reality, to help him investigate the question of himan love and how/why we fall in and out of love.
The main device in this play, concerning love as illusion versus reality, is the love juice provided by Oberon. His interest is two-fold, to punish Titania by using it to make her believe that she is in love with a "wild thing," and also to assist the broken-hearted Helena in winning the love of Demetrius. The fickleness and the unexplained origin of a human's "falling in love" are demonstrated onstage through the power that Oberon (and Puck) wields in this regard through the juice of a flower.
Of course, since Midsummer is a Comedy, there are complications and mix-ups that must ensue, so Puck not only causes a "wild thing" (Bottom, as Puck has transformed him into an ass) to fall in love with Titania and Demetrius to fall in love with Helena, he also mistakenly causes Lysander (mistakenly) to fall in love with Helena, creating the great comic "fight scene" in the woods between the four lovers.
Illusion versus reality is also demonstrated through the references made throughout the play that remind the audience that they are participating in the theatrical world "of illusion" -- a world (unlike their everyday world of "reality")of fairies and magic in which whatever the playwright desires can happen and any mix-ups or troubles that the characters find themselves in can be made right in an instant. Voila, the magic of Theatre! At the play's end, Puck himself alludes to this contrast between illusion (theatre) and reality (the real world) with his lines:
If we shadows have offended
Think but this, and all is mended--
That you have but slumbered here
While this visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding than a dream.

Arrived in Johannesburg, South Africa late today (Friday, May 30) after long hours of travel. I'm in familiar jaunts as I'm staying the night at the same hotel near the airport I did a couple years ago when I went to Botswana. It's winter here so people are all bundled up even though it's 50 degrees out. My porter was concerned I wasn't wearing a coat! Decided to have a quick bite in my room so the ostrich burger and a fruit salad fit the bill. Now I'm regrouping with my mind racing. I'm so anxious to begin! Watched a video on the plane about lions and when I heard their roars and huffs…well it brought a big smile to my heart! So tomorrow is another day of travel-about 6 hours north to the reserve and then it's time to get this thing started!

Girls Income Generating Activity
The most recent D2D's Girls' Empowerment Initiative is a girls income generating activity (IGA). Many girls lack access to training in areas of business management and financial literacy, which often leads to dependency on others, especially older men, for resources. D2D seeks to combat this issue by creating a program in which girls can generate income while learning transferable skills which can be implemented in future business endeavors and other professional settings. When girls learn these skillsets, the impact extends beyond themselves alone. According to UN Women, it is calculated that women could increase their income globally by up to 76% if the employment participation gap and the wage gap between women and men were closed. This is calculated to have a global value of 17 trillion USD.
In 2015, D2D started four women-run IGAs in the areas of chicken rearing, sewing, produce, and baked goods. The groups have now established themselves as fully independent businesses, demonstrating the self-sufficiency and sustainability IGAs can produce. It is D2D's hope that the girls IGA will follow a similar model, having the capacity to function as an independent business in the near future.
After conducting extensive fieldwork to determine the best business for the girls, a chicken rearing IGA was decided upon as a marketable venture. The IGA will be run by the secondary Girls Club members, who are presently undergoing a comprehensive six-week training program to ensure they have the necessary skills and knowledge to run an IGA. The training consists of lessons including business management, chicken care, budgeting, and marketing. Community partners, including the women's chicken IGA, D2D intern Joseph Mataya from Mwimba College of Agriculture, and a local veterinary officer, will help lead sessions to ensure the girls receive comprehensive training.
With two training sessions completed, the girls are on their way to becoming future business owners. It is D2D's hope that the effects of the IGA will be twofold, providing the girls with skills necessary to support themselves as well as the development of their communities.

The city of Peoria and the Arizona Center for German Culture hosted the twelfth annual Old World Oktoberfest at Centennial Plaza Friday, Sept. 22 and Saturday, Sept. 23 from 5-10 p.m.
Admission was $5 per person. Anyone twenty years of age or under was admitted for free. An entertainment schedule could be found online for both days.
Old World Oktoberfest brought attention to the German culture within the city. At 6:00 p.m. on Friday, there was a formal opening ceremony parade & keg tapping. Members of the Arizona Center for German Culture carried flags for different countries, including the American and the German flag.
As part of the entertainment, rides and booths were opened all evening. Rides included an inflatable slide, a rock climbing tower, and a bounce house with a Scooby-Doo theme. Vendors sold jewelry, traditional German clothing, toys, glow sticks, and German trinkets.
Rich and Lynn Everhart sold authentic German items at their Oktober Art stand. That event was their tenth year hosting their booth at the event. They travel around Germany and collect, and now their children travel and collect as well.
One common object to find is a beer stein, a container for holding beer. Lids are placed on the beer stein to keep contaminates out, Lynn Everhart explained.
Traditional German music was played throughout the evening. Die Echten Waldbuam is a band from Germany. They used traditional German instruments, such as the concertina and the alphorn. The band also played American artists' works including Neil Diamond and Johnny Cash. A dance floor was placed in front of the stage for people to dance.
Booths offered traditional German food, like German potato salad, bratwurst, potatoes pancakes, frankfurters, pretzels, sauerkraut, polish sausage, and dessert straddle. Warsteiner Beer, wine or schnapps, soda, bottled water, and lemonade were also available.
A contest called Best Dressed Oktoberfest Recognition was held for the best dress in traditional German clothing. The categories included single males, single females, and married couples. Men wore lederhosen. Women wore dirndl. Contestants paraded around the dance floor for the crowd to see. Participants were asked for their name and where they were from. Many entries were from Peoria and Phoenix. The winner was decided by who received the most cheers. Each contest had a first-prize and a second-prize winner. They received a weizen glass.
"I like the people and the atmosphere," said Lynn Everhart about Oktoberfest in Peoria.

On November 4 and 5, Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) will host its annual Managed Services Summit in Amsterdam. Together with around 40 operators from more than 30 countries, we will engage in candid discussions, share insights, network with peers, industry leaders, and guests from other industries, as well as experience the latest managed services proof points.
The agenda will be centered on the latest trends and developments in the industry – including customer experience, network performance, the Internet of Things (IoT), and digital transformation – and how these themes connect to business growth.
During the summit, Jean-Claude Geha, Head of Managed Services at Ericsson, will address the evolution of managed services.
Geha says: "During these two days in Amsterdam, we aim to raise awareness of the role managed services can play in transforming operators into digital telcos and improving end-user experience. Evolving end-user services, behaviors and expectations are placing increased demands on the networks and posing new challenges for operators. Ericsson helps operators to overcome these challenges by adding new capabilities, moving from a reactive to a proactive approach, monitoring service experience and improving efficiency."
Google, the Consumer Electronics Association, and various operators will be represented among the keynote speakers.
Peter Barron, Vice President of Communications and Public Affairs for EMEA at Google, will share his insights on the evolution of the digital media industry. In particular, he will discuss the huge growth of video traffic in mobile networks – and the associated demands and opportunities.
Gary Shapiro, CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association, will uncover insights and essential strategies related to connected devices and share his view on the implications of the IoT.
Shapiro says: "Innovations like autonomous driving and connected vehicles are good examples of change makers, where technology and high-performing networks will have far-reaching effects on society."
Entrepreneur and author Andrew Keen will lead a fast-paced panel discussion about the changing landscape and future trends of the ICT industry from a consumer and enterprise perspective. Keen's message is that: "In the next five years, both tech companies and telcos, like all companies in every sector, will need to reinvent themselves to stay relevant."
Ericsson will also address the topic of Growth Codes, whereby successful operators tackle the data explosion with a profitable approach.
On day two, Arnd Benninghoff, Deputy CEO of MTGx and CEO MTGx Ventures, will share insights on the rapid transformation of the TV industry.
Benninghoff says: "Even a big, traditional broadcasting company needs to disrupt itself to become a next-generation video company and monetize on this new reality."
Stefan Moritz, an international consultant with a focus on customer experience, will lead a breakout session on how to "Grow existing business with improved customer experience". "Improved customer experiences are the next frontier for differentiation, value creation and growth. Success in our overstimulated world arises from creating short, seamless interactions that create real value over time," he says.
Independent network performance test provider P3 communications will address how – with the proliferation of devices and tremendous amounts of data – network performance is determining the user experience.
To top it off, 10 experience areas will be featured during the event.

As questões ambientais nos livros didáticos de diferentes disciplinas da quinta-série do ensino fundamental
Marpica, Natália Salan
MetadataShow full item record
The National Curriculum Parameters and Law 9.795 issued in 1999, which institutes a national policy covering environmental education, define that the environmental education should not be a school discipline but should be incorporated by all the existing ones. Aiming to check the way in which the orientation of the transversality is subsidized so that it can be concretized in the schools, this work uses the didactic books of different educational disciplines to understand how the multidisciplinar set of a same class approaches the environmental issues. The didactic books represent a huge investment on behalf of the Federal Government, who in turn analyzes, approves and purchases them for further forwarding to schools. As from this context the objective of the present survey is to understand how the knowledge, ethic and esthetic values as well as the political participation, covering the environmental issues, are approached in the didactic books of different school disciplines, resulting in contribution for an objective and critical usage of the school book as an environmental educational instrument. The survey was directed by the critical conception of the environmental education as it is understood that, when designing a fundamental role to the political dimension and educative práxis, it becomes more coherent with the search for transformation of the social-environmental reality. The methodology used was a qualitative textual analysis. As corpus of the analysis, didactic books were adopted; these books were purchased by SEE/SP covering each educational disciplines for the fifth year of the low school for the year of 2005. As analysis units, texts and chapters of the books that covered or should cover the environmental issues were used, and then these were unbuilt under the direction of a schedule, prepared based on elements that we consider essential for the educative work oriented to the environment, that includes handling of knowledge dimensions, of the ethic and esthetic values and political participation, which were subdivided in 21 parameters additionally specific. The analysis classifications were built a priori and based on existing trends in the educational field, as related to incorporation of the environmental thematic, as follows: silent, conservative, pragmatic and critical. Totally, 52 analysis units were selected distributed among the mathematics books, Portuguese language, sciences, history and geography. In general, most of them contemplated the environmental issue, however in a limited manner as the silent trend predominated in the three dimensions. In several parameters we were able to identify the presence of other trends, however, without a regularity in the approach, and this is assumed that there is no theoretical referential that subsidize the environmental discussions in the didactic books and that there is no concrete objective, on behalf of the state and of the didactic books, to transform the conditions of the social oppression and environmental degradation. The contradiction of the Brazilian state during this year is not founded only by the acquisition of material that does not company with the PCNs and Law 9.795, but for not considering them in formulation of other educational policies such as the PNLD, that does not cover the transversal themes in its assessment process. Thus, in its current materiality, the potential of the educational books, while a critical environmental educational instrument, is limited to the insertion of the theme in classrooms, and which should be deepened and enhanced by the school teachers.

Yes, the Robert E. Lee statue in Dallas is down! But Confederate monuments aren't the only ones raising questions.
Now that Hispanic Heritage month is beginning, people are wondering why we still have monuments honoring Spanish conquests.
From California to Florida, some of these statues bring back a history of 16th-century Spanish conquistadors settling on land already owned by American Indians.
The historic Don Diego de Vargas and Junípero Serra were both all about the Spanish rule; sometimes going to extremes to make sure indigenous people followed.
Juan Ponce de León was credited for naming Florida and for founding St. Augustine, but also for backstabbing American Indians with fake alliances.
Yet, the conquistador with the worst rep has to go to Juan de Oñate. Onate is remembered for cutting off the right foot of 24 tribal warriors. His statue in El Paso is one of the tallest and the most controversial.
People have already started to vandalize certain monuments in some areas, but none have officially been taken down.
Guess we'll have to wait and see if the history of the Spanish conquistador comes to a crumbling end... or stands tall for years to come.

Did you see our post on the cost of air pollution?
It examines the topic of what pollution costs our personal health, the health of our planet and our economy. It specifically zeros in on which of those costs would motivate people most to do something to improve the air – personal health, protecting the environment or saving money.
Recently I got a little closer to understanding which is the key motivator, and it comes down to dollars and cents.
The American Lung Association surveyed 800 registered voters in the US about their opinions on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) efforts to protect public health by setting stricter standards on gasoline and tighter limits on emissions from cars, SUVs and trucks. In it, participants were first asked to respond on topics related to social economics, feelings about the country's leaders, and how the EPA is doing in general as the nation's environmental health protection agency.
As the survey interview continued, the questions got more specific about environmental health protection, air quality protection and how firmly the EPA should pursue stricter emission standards.
In one question, participants were asked if they "favour or oppose" an EPA proposal to set stricter standards on gas and tighten limits on tailpipe emissions from new vehicles. Most (62%) said they were strongly or somewhat in favour of this change. Thirty-two per cent were somewhat or strongly opposed.
The next question asked them to consider the exact same thing, but they were first read two statements which summarized some information and opinion on health and economic benefits and costs. (You'll find these statements in their entirety below.)
Guess what happened?
The second time participants were asked the question (with the two statements read first), the number of people who favoured stricter standards dropped by almost 10 per cent, from 62% to 53%. And the number of people opposed to changes went up by 10, from 32% to 42%. Essentially, one or both of the statements tightened the gap between supporters of stricter standards on emissions and those who opposed. While protecting the air we breathe appeared to be a priority among the sample of society who participated in this survey, when personal commitment financially was introduced, it changed some people's minds.
Would you have changed your answer?
Here is the survey question in its entirety and what the additional statements said:
Question 20: "As you may know, the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, is considering a proposal that would implement stricter standards on gasoline, resulting in lower emissions from all cars, trucks and S.U.V.s. These standards would limit the amount of sulfur in gasoline and would tighten the limits on tailpipe emissions from new vehicles. Do you favor or oppose this proposal to have the EPA set stricter standards on gasoline and tighten limits on tailpipe emissions from new vehicles?"
Question 21: "Now let me read you two more statements some people on both sides of the issue might make.
(Some/other) people say: Pollution from cars has a devastating effect on the health of families and children, worsening asthma, bronchitis and emphysema and even causing cancer. This proposal is the most effective smog-fighting tool available – it would be the equivalent of taking 33 million cars off the road immediately, and would prevent tens of thousands of asthma attacks and save thousands of lives every year. The proposal is supported by automakers, and independent economists say cleaner gas would cost less than a penny per gallon. American families would miss fewer days at work and would save billions of dollars in lower health care costs by keeping people healthier in the first place.
(Some/other) people say: This proposal would cost American families thousands of dollars. Economists predict that it would increase the cost of gas by up to 9 cents per gallon. It would be a hidden energy tax that drives energy prices up, raising costs for every American business. And they would pass the costs on to the rest of us, meaning higher prices for utilities, groceries, and everything we buy. Thanks to regulations we already have, cars today are already 90 percent cleaner than they were a couple of decades ago. The huge costs of this proposal just aren't worth the marginal benefits it would produce. Now that you've heard more about this issue let me ask you again, do you favor or oppose this proposal to set stricter standards on gasoline and tighten limits on tailpipe emissions from new vehicles?
Now that you've heard more about this issue let me ask you again, do you favor or oppose this proposal to set stricter standards on gasoline and tighten limits on tailpipe emissions from new vehicles?"

Starving Scavengers
Cockroaches thrive in areas of your home that are moist and cluttered. They like the heat and will eat nearly anything. Common places to see them are in bathrooms and under sinks. Roaches are nocturnal and shun light; hence, the scurrying sounds you here when you turn on the light.
These pests won't go away easily. They can live for weeks without food. Roaches not only take a toll on your peace of mind, they spread disease. Exposure to roaches can cause asthma and aggravate those who suffer from it. Because of their flat bodies, roaches can squeeze into extremely tight places to live. If left unchallenged, the roaches will breed quickly and spread.

Why Money Velocity Is At Its Lowest Level Since 1959 ?
by: Disruptive Investor
In simple terms, money velocity is the number of times one dollar is spent to buy goods and services per unit of time. Therefore, if the money velocity is increasing, more transactions are occurring between individuals in an economy and vice versa. Considering the purpose it serves, money velocity is a good indicator of real economic activity.
The key reason for discussing money velocity at this point of time is the fact that the indicator of economic activity is at its worst level since 1959. Does it also imply that economic activity in the United States is at its worst level since 1959?
To answer this question, analysis beyond the money velocity graph is needed and before I discuss that, the chart below shows the velocity of M2 money stock from 1959 to 4Q'15.
Clearly, money velocity has slumped and the decline is unabated.
In order to provide a clear picture to readers, the method of calculating money velocity is essential to be discussed. According to Investing Answers, the following is the following is the equation for money velocity.
Money Velocity = GDP/Money Supply
This equation clearly shows that even if GDP growth is stable, money velocity might continue to decline if money supply grows as a faster pace than GDP growth. This is precisely the reason for money velocity slumping in the last few years or trending lower in the last two decades.
During this period, money supply has accelerated and GDP growth has been relatively muted.
The next question that readers will ask is why inflation remains low when so much money has been pumped in the financial system. The chart below, which gives the excess reserves of depository institutions with the fed, explains the point on inflation.
After the financial crisis, the excess reserve (above minimum balance requirement) of depositary institutions with the fed has surged and is still at $2.4 trillion. Therefore, banks and the private sector at large have been conservative after the financial crisis and there has been immense hoarding of cash.
When cash moves in the economic system, it is likely that there will be incremental impact on GDP growth and inflation. However, hoarding of cash might indicate that there is still skepticism on real growth and banks prefer to remain conservative even when the fed is pursuing expansionary monetary policies. This also partially explains why I believe that easy money will not help the real economy.
In conclusion, money velocity certainly does not suggest that economic activity is at its lowest since 1959, but deeper analysis does suggest the easy money is doing nothing for the real economy. At most, it benefits banks and financial institutions.

Overcrowding, alignment issues and other orthodontic problems can adversely affect the function of your mouth and leave you with an unappealing smile. In many of these cases, braces are a good orthodontic solution to correcting the issues and preventing further complications. At Dieguez Smiles, your orthodontist, Dr. Bertha Dieguez, can fit you for braces with minor variations.
Traditional braces use brackets that are cemented to the face of your teeth. They are linked by a wire on the top and bottom. They typically include bands and spacers to further aid in the realignment process.
Ceramic braces are just like traditional braces. The one major difference is that much of the hardware has been coated in a special ceramic material. This glaze can be shaded to match the natural tooth enamel, making them less noticeable. This makes them a great option for people who feel self-conscious about braces.
Clear, plastic braces are only called for if your teeth need a minor amount of realignment. The clear, plastic aligners are custom shaped to match your teeth. Every two weeks you will switch to another set of aligners that has been tuned to bring you one step closer to your ideal alignment. This effectively stretches the periodontal ligaments that anchor your teeth in the sockets. Over the course of three to four aligner changes, your teeth will be repositioned to their ideal alignment.
If you have overcrowding, alignment or other orthodontic issues with your teeth and you're interested in braces in Birmingham, Alabama, you should call 205-980-4744 to explore your braces options at our orthodontic clinic.

The guy is not a good one day cricketer why do the sri lanka selectors continue to pick him?
The guy is not a good one day cricketer why do the sri lanka selectors continue to pick him?
Chandimal was slow ro reach selectsuckers sausages than some others. In a line up of MJ, Dilshan, Sanga, Chandimal, Samarweera, Mathews and Perera he is a good fit as he is an anchor man. Current team has too many of them.
Supporting players: Dinesh Chandimal, Roshen Silva, Kusal Janith, Nuwan Pradeep, Kasun Rajitha, Lahiru Kumara, Akila Dhananjaya, Dhananjaya de Silva
He is a good one day player, problem for him is, S Lanka's top 4 set a good platform so he is unable to come in at his normal position. Instead he is shifted down to 7 and looks out of his depth playing at the end of an innings.
Never liked him as a plyer TBH.Lack of able backup perhaps?I don't know a lot about Srilanka's domestic circuit,so that could be one of the reasons why he continues to find a place in the ODI team.
Sam ideally is a #3 batsman. MJ, Dilshan, Sam, Sanga, Chandimal and Mathews is the perfect batting lineup SL can have in ODIs.

The goal of this project is to collect data, water chemistry and field parameters, which will be paired with biological data collected by the MPCA to assess water quality conditions at seven sites along targeted reaches within the Snake River Watershed and five sites in the Two River Watershed.
The goal of this project is to construct, calibrate, and validate a watershed model using Hydrologic Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF). The project will result in a HSPF model that can readily be used to provide information to support conventional parameter TMDLs.
This project will provide monitoring of four of the major watersheds (8-digit Hydrologic Unit Codes) in the western part of the Rainy River Basin. Staff from the Lake of the Woods SWCD will conduct water quality sampling, review, manage and provide collected data to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA).
This project will support water quality monitoring and data analysis in the Red River Basin. The monitoring will assist in providing water chemistry data needed to calculate annual pollutant loads for the Major Watershed Load Monitoring Program (MWLMP) and provide short term data sets of select parameters to other MPCA programs.
This project supports monitoring and assessment activities by MPCA EAO staff and includes lab analysis, equipment, and fieldwork expenses associated with monitoring and assessment activities within the described priority watersheds.
Lake Monitoring: Lakes are monitored for nutrients, clarity and other information to provide the data needed to assess the aquatic recreation use support.
This project supports monitoring and assessment activities by MPCA EAO staff and includes lab analysis, equipment, fieldwork, data management, and interpretation expenses associated with monitoring and assessment activities.The ambient groundwater monitoring network describes the current condition and trends in Minnesota's groundwater quality.
This Initiative is a nine-year plan to take a systematic approach to inventory and analyze all Public Waters within the County. Phase 1 includes identifying areas of concern through GIS analysis of current landuse along Public Waters, and the development of a database of non-compliant landowners which will be updated and maintained. Once landowners have been identified they will receive a joint letter and map stating that they may not be in compliance.
The purpose of this project is to develop a detailed tool that can be used in all watersheds within the Otter Tail and Becker counties to prioritize, target, and measure implementation practices at the field scale. The PTM App will significantly increase the targeting capabilities in Otter Tail and Becker Counties. The Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy has not been completed for Otter Tail County, yet, and the PTM App will be able to assist targeting and prioritizing when those documents are created.
The Prioritization, Targeting, and Measuring Water Quality Improvement Application (PTMA) connects the general qualitative strategies in a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) and Watershed Restoration and Protection (WRAP) and the identification of implementable on-the-ground Best Management Practices (BMPs). Leveraging geospatial data from the International Water Institute this application will be developed for two pilot areas within the Red River Basin.
This project will result in the development of three critical pieces of information. They include: 1. Development of restoration and protection strategies for all waterbodies in the district relative to the State's Non-point Source Funding plan 2. Use of PTMApp to tie the WRAPs implementation tables from the Buffalo and Red River Watersheds to targeted on-the-ground projects and practices that will provide measurable water quality improvements, and 3.
This project will collect real-time parameter data for specific conductance, water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity and stream flow at the United States geological Survey (USGS) gaging stations located at Fargo, ND and Grand Forks, ND on the Red River of the North; and publish the data both on the USGS NWIS website and in the USGS Annual Report.
This project will support water quality monitoring and data analysis in nine major watersheds (8-digit Hydrologic Unit Codes) of the Lower Red River Basin. The monitoring will assist in providing water chemistry data needed to calculate annual pollutant loads for the Major Watershed Load Monitoring Program (MWLMP) and provide short term data sets of select parameters to other MPCA programs.
The goal of this project is to engage citizens in local watershed monitoring, work with regional partners to promote understanding and protection of watersheds, and organize and facilitate gathering of scientific data for the benefit of water quality in the Red River Basin.
The purpose of this project is to improve understanding of primary productivity in the Red River and the diversity and population structure of the algal communities occurring along the river system. This will be accomplished through taxonomic identification of periphyton and phytoplankton assemblages necessary for characterizing responses to nutrient gradients along the Red River of the North.
This project will develop an effective transferable model to engage and educate watershed residents, stakeholders and others to better understand and protect watershed ecostystems through environmental monitoring, training, and formal and informal education programs in their local watershed. The project will build on the foundation of the existing Red River Basin River Watch program by strengthening three main activity areas: 1) curriculum integration and teacher training, 2) youth leadership and civic engagement, and 3) applied research collaboration and watershed science skills building.
This project will monitor nine locations in the major watersheds (8-digit Hydrologic Unit Codes) of the Lower Red River Basin. The stream outlet monitoring will provide the water chemistry data needed to calculate annual pollutant loads. Staff from the Red River Watershed Management Board (RRWMB) will conduct the sampling, initially manage the data and provide the data to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) for load calculations and import into the STORET data system.
MN Legislative Clean Water Fund funding to engage citizens in local watershed monitoring, work with regional partners to promote understanding and protection of watersheds, and organize and facilitate gathering of scientific data all for the benefit of water quality in the Red River Basin.
The International Water Institute (IWI) will monitor 42 sites (3 basin, 12 major watershed, and 27 subwatershed) in the Red River and Upper Mississippi River Basins intensively during 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. There will also be 5 sites in the Red River Basin where mercury samples will be collected in 2016 and 2017 and sent to Minnesota Department of Health for analysis. The IWI will collect water samples across the range of flow conditions targeting sample collection at times of moderate to high flow.
The goal of this project is to develop a Roseau Lake Water Quality Improvement Report that will include a prioritized, targeted, and measurable implementation plan that will improve water quality in the Roseau Lake watershed. The project will result in development of site specific implementation actions through use of the Prioritize, Targeting, and Measuring Application (PTMApp) and the Drained Wetland Basin Inventory terrain analysis methods.
The primary objective of this project is to extend the simulation period of the Two Rivers Watershed Hydrological Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) model through 2017 to support future simulation and assessment of the planned Klondike impoundment.
This project is the second phase of updating the Two Rivers watershed Hydrologic Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) model. This project includes calibration of the model and including a proposed impoundment in the model. An analysis of possible downstream water quality impacts will also be done.
The goals of Phase I of the TRW WRAP are to: 1) gather or develop watershed data needed for the development of the Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy; and 2) establish project and sub-basin work groups, develop a social outcomes strategy, and develop a civic engagement evaluation strategy to guide the WRAP project.
This project will provide MPCA staff, local partners and citizen volunteers with a framework for building local capacity to design civic engagement and communication/outreach efforts that will contribute to meaningful and sustained public participation in surface water protection and restoration activities throughout the watershed.

text: Lyanna<3Rhaegar #1 Posted November 19, 2017 I know there have been threads on name meanings before but I couldn't find an open one. For as long as I can remember I've been interested in name meanings, so much so that it was hard for me to name my children without knowing their personalities. Reassured they are all named, although my daughter did almost leave the hospital without a name - but that was because I was so sure she was a boy I only had a boy name picked! At any rate I've often wondered about George's choice of names & if there is any meaning to them. I made an attempt at dissecting 'Rhaegar' & did find some interesting things & thought maybe some of you smart folks could tell me some about other names I had a hard time finding any meaning for "Rha" other than words also starting in Rha like Rhapsody: Noun - in ancient Greece - an epic poem, or part of it, of a suitable length for recitation at one time. With Rhaegar's connection to music I thought that was interesting. I moved on to looking for "Rhae" Rhae - girls name in Greek meaning "flowing" Ae - often replaced by 'e' in English like in demon So I searched for "Rhe" but found nothing. Moved on to "gar" Gar - a type of fish heavily armored with diamond shaped ganoid scales. Slow moving except when striking their prey. Prefer the shallow areas of rivers, lakes, & bayous. Native Caribbean used their scales for breastplates. Their eggs are highly toxic to humans. I know Rhaegar didn't give Lyanna his egg but he did give her his seed & it killed her. In middle English: spear, dart, javelin, shaft, arrow, weapon, arms In Turkmen: Snow Other names intrigue me specifically Osha Asha The prefix "a" often means: no, not, without. Can also mean on, in, into, to The only thing I could find for "o" was that it was a prefix meaning descendant in Irish family names. So what is Osha a descendant of that Asha is not? Not sure this is a very good connection but for what it's worth Sha means Urial which is an upland wild sheep with reddish brown, long hair that fades during the winter. I didn't get very far with these but maybe someone can shed some light in my direction: Sansa Sandor Gregor San according to the wikitionary means - mentally healthy or sane Dor is archaic meaning mockery or scorn I would love someone else's input on these names or any others!
