I am struggling with writing a script that compares the first column of 2 files.
file 1 file 2
0 a 20 j
10 b 30 h
20 c 40 i
30 d
Desired result is:
20 c j
30 d h
I have tried several things including join (but it seems that the files must start on the same value of the 1st column)
Tried a while
temp1 = awk '{print $1}' | head -1 file1
temp2 = awk '{print $1}' | head -1 file2
While [ $temp1 == $temp2 ]
awk {print $0}
Can't seem to get anywhere with it...
Assuming file1:
10 b
20 c
30 d
0 j
30 h
40 i
This brute force korn shell script running on Solaris 9 works using an embedded while loop. Sorry, as I am not a Cygwin user, I can not vouch for that platform:#!/bin/ksh # NO ERROR CHECKING while read o1 o2 do while read i1 i2 do if [ "$o1" == "$i1" ] then echo "${o1} ${o2} ${i2}" fi done < file2 done < file1
It is not clear to me what the o1, o2, i1, i2 represent...
Let me ask this way...
I want to append columns from the 2nd file when the first colums match. The first column in my case is time, other columns are just event ID's.
1 a aa aaa
2 b bb bbb
3 c cc ccc
4 d dd ddd
5 e ee eee
6 f ff fff
7 g gg ggg
8 h hh hhh
9 i ii iii
9 j jj jjj
10 k kk kkk
file 2
6 f ff fff
7 g gg ggg
8 h hh hhh
9 i ii iii
Result contains appended columns that had match on row one
file 3
6 f ff fff f ff fff
7 g gg ggg g gg ggg
8 h hh hhh h hh hhh
9 i ii iii i ii iii
The outer while loop reads each line, and, by default, parses the columns by space, tab, or newline:
o1 = column1
o2 = the rest of the line.
with the inner while loop it is:
i1 = column 1
i2 = the rest of the line.
If the first two columns match, o1 equals i1, echo the pieces that fit your criteria.
Of course, your spec doesn't state what to do with two lines with the first column is used more than once such as the 9. Using your data, my script output is:
6 f ff fff f ff fff
7 g gg ggg g gg ggg
8 h hh hhh h hh hhh
9 i ii iii i ii iii
9 j jj jjj i ii iii
The more I think about it, you probably want to compare the second parts also using an and, &&, clause:#!/bin/ksh while read o1 o2 do while read i1 i2 do if [[ "$o1" == "$i1" && "$o2" == "$i2" ]] then echo "${o1} ${o2} ${i2}" fi done < file2 done < file1
I am sorry, the second 9 was a typo. The files are just time histories with each value (time) in column 1 being unique for each file. Thanks for your inputs, and I will try to see if I can repeat what you did ASAP then reply back...
This was an interesting problem. Another way is an awk script which saves one of the files into an associative array, and then compares:awk ' BEGIN { # build the arrray while ( getline < "file2" > 0 ) { saveit=$1 # save the first column $1="" # wipe it out myarr[saveit]=$0 # build the array minus the first col. } } { if($1 in myarr) printf("%s %s\n", $0, myarr[$1]) } ' file1

I am a free man now, says Yeddyurappa
His voice choking, 68-year-old Yeddyurappa said as Chief Minister he felt like his hands and legs had been tied and he had to discharge his duties from Vidhan Soudha, the state secretariat, within "limitations".
"From now onwards, I can happily and freely meet people… (those of) backward classes… scheduled castes…scheduled tribes…work for the welfare of women without any obstacles and anxiety", he said, describing it as a "golden opportunity".
The BJP leader was speaking at a felicitation function, organised by the Balija community, which was recently extended benefits in education under backward classes category 2A, withdrawing it from 3A, by his government.
Mr. Yeddyurappa said there is no need for anybody to feel that he had been hurt because he had to leave office and declared that he is "quitting happily and with satisfaction".
In what appeared to be his "farewell speech", Mr. Yeddyurappa said he would commence a tour of the State from Monday, visiting "villages-after-villages" and strengthen the party.
Listing the achievements of his 38-month tenure as Chief Minister, he said that in fiscal management "the State is number one, while communal harmony and law and order situation is good".
"Wish of the people is that BJP should continue to be in power for the next 15-20 years," Mr. Yeddyurappa said, adding, he would work towards that goal, as well as to realise the aim to win 150 Assembly and 25 Lok Sabha seats in the next elections.
He said he never dreamt of becoming Chief Minister, and is grateful that from being a mere municipal councillor in Shikaripura in Shimoga district, he rose to this position.
"In the last 40 years, I staged agitations by mobilising farmers as a 'madman' (driven by passion)".

When it comes to building a new website there are many different options and tools available for you to choose from. There are so many options, in fact, that it may seem overwhelming at first. Should your next website be built using plain HTML, or using a CMS or "content management system" like WordPress or Jumbla. In this post I will be teaching you why your next website should be built using WordPress and why its the best option on the market.
When website were first being built in the 1990s they were much more simple then they are today. Almost anything was impressive because very few people even knew what a website was at the time. They didn't have anywhere near the sophistication that modern day websites have like videos, graphics, or animations. The internet was so slow back in the 1990s that many didn't even have pictures because it would take to long for the website to load, and if they did have pictures there were kept very small in oder to keep the load time tolerable.
Fast forward to today and boy have things changed. Modern day websites have fast loading graphical introduction animations, high quality photos, bright colors, videos, mailing list subscription boxes and even entire online stores that you can buy things from and pay for all without leaving the website. If somebody was to build something as sophisticated as websites are today only a few years ago it would have cost them 10s of thousands of dollars. Now with the help of content management systems or "CMS" they can be built at a fraction of the cost and with way less management expenses.
Instead of hand coding HTML and CSS into a notepad and then uploading that notepad to an online web server, a CMS does much of the heavy lifting for you buy allowing you to upload the CMS to your web server first. This allows you to start with much of the code already written, uploaded, and ready to be further built out.
Modern day CMS systems like WordPress also give you a very nice graphical interface to work with instead of just a simple blank notepad. This makes things much easier, more flexible, and more powerful. Using a system like WordPress you can actually have a templated website live in only a few clicks of a mouse. Then you can get to work building out the rest of the website.
WordPress also allows you to download pre built websites called "themes". Now this does not by any means mean that you can download a completed website as a "theme", but that your web designer can upload a pre-built stack of code as a solid starting point to work with. They can then go about customizing the theme and code of the website to your unique individual needs. This saves the web designer time, thereby saving you money.
You can also take advantage of WordPresses "plugin" feature which allows you to upload small bits of software to handle small individual needs. There are plugins for contact forms, website security, videos, photo galleries, SEO, and even more. Because WordPress takes up so much of the market, they have many many plugin options to choose from. There is likely, 2-3 plugins for you to choose from no matter what you need is.
Your next website should be built using WordPress because it is easy, fast, cost saving, flexible, and powerful. Every web designer out there also knows WordPress very well which will make it easy to find a maintenance guy. They are reliable, fast, and one of the most trusted names in the web design industry. I am sure that you will be throughly satisfied with your next website if you do decide to go the WordPress route.

mometasone furoate
Clarinaze Allergy Control 0.05% nasal spray, a hayfever treatment containing mometasone furoate, is now available from pharmacy without a prescription.
There are currently several over-the-counter (OTC) products to help customers with hayfever symptoms.
These include oral antihistamines, eye drops and intranasal corticosteroids (INS).
As mometasone furoate is newly switched from POM to P, it's crucial for the whole pharmacy team to know about Clarinaze Allergy Control 0.05% nasal spray, how it fits alongside current treatment options, and when it's appropriate to recommend.

How to Install Nginx on Ubuntu 16.04
Nginx is one among the foremost fashionable open supply internet server software system. it's wide used for load equalisation, reverse proxying, media streaming and far a lot of. Nginx is that the solely all-in-one superior protocol server, designed to serve a high volume of simultaneous connections, as another to Apache internet server. nowadays Nginx is put in on quite 450 million servers worldwide and is employed by one among the best traffic websites on the online like Dropbox, Zynga games, Netflix. during this tutorial, we are going to show you the way to put in Nginx on Ubuntu 16.04.
install nginx ubuntu 16.04 There is not any question that Nginx is that the best-in-class internet server and application delivery answer. putting in Nginx on Ubuntu 16.04 is a simple task, simply rigorously follow the steps below and you ought to have Nginx put in on your Ubuntu server in but ten min. Let's start.
Step 1: Install Nginx on Your Ubuntu Server
Nginx is available in the Ubuntu package repositories simple. First, update the apt cache with the following command:
sudo apt update
and install Nginx by issuing:
sudo apt install nginx
Once the installation is completed Nginx will be automatically started.
You can make sure that Nginx service is running with the following command:
sudo systemctl status nginx
The output should look like below:
● nginx.service - A high performance web server and a reverse proxy server Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Sat 2018-03-31 01:50:44 CDT; 8s ago Main PID: 716 (nginx) CGroup: /system.slice/nginx.service ├─716 nginx: master process /usr/sbin/nginx -g daemon on; master_process on ├─717 nginx: worker process ├─718 nginx: worker process ├─719 nginx: worker process └─720 nginx: worker process
Step 2: Open Firewall Ports
If you are using
ufw you need to open HTTP port 80 and/or HTTPS port 433. Ufw comes with profiles based on the default ports of most common daemons and programs.
To open both Nginx ports run the following command:
sudo ufw allow 'Nginx Full'
To verify the change run:
sudo ufw status
The output should look like below:
Status: active To Action From -- ------ ---- Nginx Full ALLOW Anywhere Nginx Full (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
You can now open your browser, enter your server IP address into your browser address bar and you should see the default Nginx page.
Step 3: Managing Nginx Service
You can manage the Nginx service same as any other
systemd unit.
Start the nginx service with the following command:
sudo systemctl start nginx
Stop the service with:
sudo systemctl stop nginx
Restart the service with:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Check the status of the service with:
sudo systemctl status nginx
Enable the service on system boot with:
sudo systemctl enable nginx
Disable the service on system boot with:
sudo systemctl disable nginx
Step 4: Create a New Server Block
The default Nginx installation will have one server block enabled with a document root set to
In this guide, we will create a new server block for the domain
example.com and set the document root to
First, create the domain document root with the following command:
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/example.com
and then create an
index.html file with the following content:
sudo vim /var/www/example.com/index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>

<meta charset="UTF-8">

example.com server block

Next, create a new server block with the following content:
sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com.conf
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
root /var/www/example.com;
index index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
Activate the server block by creating a symbolic link :
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/example.com.conf
Step 5: Restart Nginx
Test the Nginx configuration and restart nginx:
sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Now if you enter
example.com into your browser address bar you should see
example.com server block.

Our industry once professed the need for a single system: an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system. The concept was good, but the execution – and reality – failed to live up to the vision. Then ECM morphed into an umbrella term for all things document, content, and process-related.
But after many years, many attempts, and many perspectives weighing on this never-quite-right catch-all term, our industry continued to grow and evolve into what we have today (content services) a core set of information-driven practices and methodologies that help organizations meet their Digital Transformation objectives.
In this webinar on-demand, we'll look at how the business ecosystem can succeed with how:
- it allows, and actually thrives on, having lots of small inter-connected applications
- these applications and platforms need to be modern, connected, and personal
- modern architecture, scalability, integration, and personalised solution capability can collectively deliver a truly revolutionary step forward in how organisations create, consume and ultimately gain greater value from their information and content assets
Never before has the Intelligent Information Management industry had such potential with content services, and more importantly, an equal ability to deliver to meet the digital transformation needs of organisations of all sizes and industries.

Boston Marathon Bombing Injured Toll Up to 282
At 27 hospitals across the Boston area
Only two patients wounded in the Boston Marathon bombings remained in critical condition Monday, but the count of injured people who were treated in area hospitals has risen sharply to 282, according to the Boston Public Health Commission. That is far higher than the initial estimate of 170.
The number rose because dozens of victims delayed seeking medical care for minor wounds or symptoms that they thought would go away on their own, said Nick Martin, a spokesman for the health commission. He said the latest data, compiled Saturday by state health officials, show patients were seen at 27 hospitals in Greater Boston.

We are living in a society where sharing information is essential for the common growth. As individuals, we can reach our goals; but as a group, we can achieve even higher objectives.
Perhaps, some people think it's not worthy to share their experiences, but I think there are many convincing reasons to do it. On this article, I will highlight the ones I think are the most relevant.
Make Yourself Know
As of December 2009, approximately 1.80 billion people worldwide use the Internet, according to studies by Miniwatts Marketing Group. We're living in the digital age, and it's necessary to have an online presence. Having a website is vital, but it's when you contribute to a blog that you are improving your chances with potential clients.
Become an Expert
When you share your knowledge and experience with your peers, you are establishing yourself as an expert in your field. Your colleagues will look up to you and your potential clients will be assured that you know what you are talking about. Even when you think you do not have much to share, keep in mind that you still have something to say. Your knowledge is unique, simply because there is no other person with the same experiences.
Promote Your Industry
Sometimes I find myself in awkward situations. Last week I meet a potential client that told me "Great! We loved your portfolio. So, how much do you charge for a logo? Do you think fifty pounds will be ok?". These "potential clients" have no idea of the real value of a logo simply because there aren't enough designers writing about the true value of design. When you write about your area of expertise, you're also helping to improve your industry image in between potential clients.
Make More Money
This is the reason we are in business, right? In this tough economy, we don't always have design work. Why not use the extra time to share your knowledge with others and help yourself get noticed by potential clients? Nowadays, clients are getting pretty picky when choosing a creative freelancer. The benefits of contributing to a blog undoubtedly help you get more projects. In addition, by becoming an expert you can even raise your fees, and make more money.
I'm sure there are many other compelling reasons to contribute to a blog. However, I've pointed out the ones I believe are the most relevant. What do you think? If you have a good reason to contribute to a blog, please use the box below and leave a comment.

We are presently presenting the fantastic Big Bad Wolfe at a reduced price. Don't miss out - buy the Big Bad Wolfe here today!
Linda Wallace does a beautiful job drawing the reader in to the hopes, dreams, and even the fears of the characters. I am intrigued by the llamas. The grace and gentleness of the animals is impressive. Ms. Wallace incorporates them into the story in a way that enhances the reader's enjoyment as well as educating about an animal we don't normally hear a lot about.
Brandon will be hard pressed to preserve his sanity and keep strict control of his heart and children, once spunky Corey incorporates herself into his life.
—Chrissy Dionne
Romance Junkies
Big Bad Wolfe is a powerful book loaded in warmth and deep emotion that I could not put down. I have never wanted a couple to click as I did with Corey and Brandon. The storyline flows smoothly with characters true to form and believable.
Ms. Wallace gives the reader a dynamite story filled with passion that touches the heart in so many angles. So grab a chair with a box of tissues, perhaps two boxes, and cuddle up for a remarkable read that will leave a lasting impression. Ms. Wallace does more than touch the heart; she reaches deeper into the soul and that is why she gets five lighthouses. This book is worth the read.
Big Bad Wolfe is a book that is impossible to put down. It is a very emotional story that will keep you turning page after page. You are silently cheering for both Corey and Brandon to open up to each other. You want them to admit their feelings. This book builds to an explosive ending with emotions that will bring tears to your eyes.

Posted By: Tammy (email)
Date: 3/13/2017 at 16:45:41
John Luchtenburg Dies Sunday At Waterloo Hospital
John Luchtenburg Sr., 79, a prominent Pleasant Valley township farmer until his retirement in 1948, died Sunday morning at Allen Memorial hospital in Waterloo following a lingering illness.

FOR MOST OF MY life I have been interested in Christian theology. I have a doctor's degree in Christian theology and taught theology for decades. Consequently, theology is not something I can cavalierly criticize or dismiss lightly.
It is understood and described in many different ways, but theology generally concentrates on the study of Christian beliefs, which are sometimes called doctrines. In some circles, the heart of theological study is called dogmatics, which is defined as the "branch of theology that seeks to interpret the dogmas of a religious faith," and the same dictionary defines dogma as "a doctrine or body of doctrines concerning faith or morals formally stated and authoritatively proclaimed by a church."[1]
Doctrines, or dogmas, are expressed in words, and those words, or propositions, are considered to be either true or false. And, in keeping with what we saw in the previous chapter, those who believe "correct" doctrines are considered orthodox and those who believe erroneous doctrines are, to varying degrees, considered heretics. As we saw, being orthodox, that is, believing the right things has had a prominent role in the history of Christianity, at least since the fourth century.
The theological disputes through the ages, beginning before the fourth century but characterized by the disagreements that led to the so-called First Ecumenical Council in 325, have been almost exclusively about what people believed. The Council of Nicaea, as the meeting of bishops in 325 came to be called, was partly about politics, particularly in the eyes of Emperor Constantine who convened it. At least on the surface, the dispute centered on the opposing beliefs of Athanasius and Arius, two prominent Christian leaders in Alexandria, Egypt.
From then until modern times, church (and political) authorities have considered what Christians believe to be of great importance, and many Christians have been martyred by other Christians simply because of what were considered erroneous beliefs. In spite of all this, however, we need to recognize that who we Christians believe in is more important than what we believe.
I Know Whom I Have Believed
In 1 Timothy 2:12 we find this noteworthy declaration: "I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day" (NKJV) Whether written by the Apostle Paul or by a later author who put these words in the Apostle's mouth, that is a statement of faith in Christ by one who was suffering in prison because of being a preacher and an apostle.
Based on those words from the New Testament, Daniel W. Whittle wrote the words to a hymn that we often sang in my home church in northwest Missouri. The first verse and refrain goes like this:
I know not why God's wondrous grace / To me He hath made known,
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love / Redeemed me for His own.
But I know Whom I have believèd, / And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I've committed / Unto Him against that day. [2]
Both Paul and Major Whittle seem to have known that who one believes in is more important than what one believes. That certainly does not mean that beliefs are unimportant. Much of the doctrinal teaching of the New Testament comes from the pen of the Apostle Paul and his followers who wrote in his name. Paul could even be adamant about the content of what was believed. In writing to the Christians in Galatia, Paul acknowledges that "there are some who are confusing you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ" (1:7). But then he goes on to exclaim, ". . . even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let that one be accursed!" (1:8).
There was, to be sure, important content in the gospel message that Paul had proclaimed. Yet even in this letter to the Galatians, Paul emphasizes the central importance of faith in Christ. In the second chapter he declares that "we know that a person is justified not by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by faith in Christ" (v. 16).
Belief that Jesus is the Savior and that one can be justified through belief in Christ are important beliefs. But still, belief that is not nearly as important as belief in.
Confession of Faith
This book's ninth chapter was about the meaning of confessing Jesus as Lord. Indeed, as mentioned in that previous chapter, it seems quite clear that the words "Jesus is Lord" was the earliest confession of faith, the essential profession new believers would make before being baptized. In the tenth chapter of Romans we find these important words: ". . . if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved" (vv. 9-10).
In those pivotal verses, there is significant reference made to what is believed, particularly about Jesus' resurrection. But what is most important is that one believes in Jesus, confessing him as Lord. That simple confession by itself was sufficient in the beginning, seeing that it was a "radical" decision to call Jesus Lord. On the one hand, it was radical for those who had been a part of the Jewish community as Lord was used as a form of address for only the Creator God. It was also radical for those who lived in Roman society, as Caesar expected his subjects to address him as Lord.
In short, belief about Jesus was included in a confession of faith in Jesus—but it was the latter which was decisive. Gradually, though, church leaders came increasingly to emphasize the content of the Christian faith. There developed what is now known as the Apostles' Creed, which originally was likely an expanded statement of beliefs that persons were expected to confess at the time of baptism—and its use for that purpose is still seen in some churches today.
With the beginning of the Protestant Reformation in the sixteenth century, there began to develop diverse confessions of faith in the various Protestant traditions. It became necessary for the various groups to state publicly, and clearly, what they believed. One of the first such statements was the Schleitheim Confession (1527) by the Anabaptists who were being persecuted in Switzerland.
Three years later, the first Lutheran document was penned, and it came to be known as the Augsburg Confession. That confession of faith was drafted by the followers of Luther in response to the call of Catholic Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor, who asked the "Lutherans" to explain their religious convictions in an attempt to restore religious and political unity in the Holy Roman Empire. What the "Protestants" believed seemed, and was, at odds with what was believed by the Roman Catholics at that time. Not surprisingly, their Confession failed to bring about unity.
The Confession of Basel (1534) was one of a series of confessions of faith that was issued by the Reformed branch of the church which began in Zurich, Switzerland, in the 1520s. In that same tradition, the Scots Confession (1560) was normative in the Reformed/Presbyterian branch of the Reformation until the adoption of the Westminster Confession of Faith in 1648.
Reference could be made to many other confessions of faith drawn up in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. But the point is this: in the development of the Christian church through the centuries, there was a proliferation of confessions expressing the content of Christian beliefs. The Protestant understanding of Christianity was quite different from the Catholic understanding in numerous ways. And within Protestantism, the doctrinal understanding of the Lutherans and the Presbyterians, of the Anabaptists and the Anglicans, and then, later, of the Baptists and the Methodists was not at all the same.
The various confessions of faith acknowledged many similarities, to be sure, but they also made it apparent that there were many differences among the various groups. And what people believed often had serious social ramifications. Some Protestants were executed by Catholics because of their beliefs. At other times there were Catholics who were executed by Protestants. And even within Protestantism some were martyred by other Protestants because of what they believed, beginning with Felix Manz in 1527.[3] Manz's main "crime" was his rejection of infant baptism, which he and the other Swiss Brethren did not consider Christian baptism at all, and his insistence on believer's baptism.
So, especially in previous centuries, what Christians believed or didn't believe was certainly of grave importance. Still, I insist that who one believes in is more important than what one believes.
Belief in Jesus Christ
In recent years it seems that there has been an increasing shift away from the centrality of Jesus Christ in the thinking of some Christians. It would seem that for Christianity to be considered as primarily about faith in Jesus would be a foregone conclusion, but there are now some Christians who seek to downplay the significance of Jesus for the sake of fostering better relations with people of other faith traditions. (I deal with this issue to some extent in a chapter of my book The Limits of Liberalism.[4])
Those who seek to demote Jesus, denying his divinity, place emphasis on faith in God (known by many different names)—although some even deny that God is a personal Being. Christ and Christianity are largely relativized.
It is a shameful historical fact that Christians have often mistreated those of other religious faiths, and the move toward a position of respect for those who embrace different views is highly commendable. But to what extent can one downplay the divinity or the uniqueness of Jesus Christ and still be a Christian in any meaningful sense?
As I was working on this chapter, I just happened to read (again) the story of Augustine's conversion. Upon hearing a child's voice saying, "Take and read, take and read," Augustine picked up the Bible and opened it at random to Romans 13:13-14. Those verses renounce the type of profligate life Augustine had lived for years. But they also, significantly, contain the words, "put on the Lord Jesus Christ."
Augustine went on to become a committed Christian and then a great theologian. Some call him "the father of Western theology." But his conversion experience was not nearly as so much in what he believed as in whom he believed. His faith was "putting on" the Lord Jesus Christ. It was not his belief about Jesus but rather his belief (trust) in Jesus that formed the foundation for all he later wrote about belief about Christ, defending doctrinal orthodoxy against those he considered heretics.
When I was a teenager, I remember hearing Baptist preachers emphasize, fairly often it seems, the difference between believing in and believing that. The latter, of course, is about what we believe, but the former is about whom we believe. Believing that has to do with intellectual assent to statements or propositions. Believing in has to do with trust in a person. That was, and is, an important thing to emphasize, and people today still need to recognize that difference.
Belief as Trust in Christ
In many of those church services where believing in was emphasized, "Trust and Obey" was often sung as a congregational hymn. The words of that old hymn were based on a testimony given by a young man in an evangelistic meeting led by the famous evangelist Dwight L. Moody.[5] It was quite apparent from the young man's words that he knew little about Christian doctrine, but he finished his testimony by saying, "I'm not quite sure—but I'm going to trust, and I'm going to obey."
I used to hear it said that a person could be as straight as a gun barrel doctrinally and just as empty spiritually. There are people who give all the "right answers" when asked about the great Christian doctrines. They would acknowledge that they believe all of the creedal statements about Jesus Christ. But close examination of their daily lives would lead one to conclude that there was distinct discrepancy between their way of living and their faithfulness to the teachings of Jesus.
Belief that is merely intellectual assent and often has little relationship to how one actually lives. Belief equated with trust, however, is much different: it means commitment to the one in whom that trust is placed—and when belief is trust, it includes obeying. So this chapter is, obviously, closely related to the previous one emphasizing that what we do is more important than what we believe.
What I am emphasizing here is that Christian belief is trust in Jesus Christ and in the God revealed by Jesus. Thus, Christian faith is not belief in a generic God, one who is worshipped by adherents of all religions. There are similarities and overlaps, of course, but there are also important differences. Those differences have been admirably explained by Stephen Prothero in his book God Is Not One.[6]
As Prothero points out, the goals of the different religions are not the same. Thus, indeed, it makes a great difference in how we live and, potentially, in what we experience after death, according to whether we believe in the God revealed in Jesus Christ or whether we believe in the God, or Absolute, depicted by one or other of the great leaders and teachers in other religious traditions.
For Christians, what they believe about Jesus—and the many other doctrines of the faith—is important. But as human beings, whether people believe in Jesus or in some other savior, teacher, guru, or whomever is of the greatest importance.
Truly, who we believe in is more important than what we believe.

As the memories of our New Year's celebrations begin to fade, all too often so do our memories of our New Year's resolutions. However, no matter how easy it is to slide back into old habits, the New Year is an excellent time to work on making yourself better. The same goes for records management. Now is the perfect time to create a set of resolutions for proper record storage, retrieval, and document shredding. In that spirit, here are our suggestions:
Resolution 1 – We Will Assume All Paper Has Potentially Private Information
No matter how hard you train your employees on NPI procedures, mistakes happen. A document gets mis-filed, or a worker jots down a social security number on scrap paper because their computer locked up. And, document shredding is cheap. If you shred everything when it's no longer needed, you can't risk an NPI violation, and it reduces your storage and retrieval costs too. An added perk is that most reputable shredding companies recycle all of the paper they shred!
Resolution 2 – We Will Remember That Electronic Records Need Management Too
Yes, having everything computerized makes record storage and retrieval easier, but computers also enable poor records management too. Without physical paper around, filing and destruction deadlines can pass unnoticed. Make sure that your electronic records are policed as carefully as your paper documents.
Resolution 3 – We Will Properly Organize and Barcode Everything We Store
A proper barcoding system does wonders for record storage and document retrieval. It makes final retrieval easier, and allows for a simple way to establish the chain of custody for any set of records. When tied to database software, this also allows for automated tracking of when document shredding time has come around for a particular set of records. Most of the time, if you elect to utilize the help and expertise of a records management company, they will usually either aid in, or perform, the barcoding and organization process for you.
Resolution 4 – We Will Start A Review of Our Records Management Today!
There's no time like the present. Even if you're certain that your business is current on its record storage, document shredding, and data retrieval policies, there's no harm in giving a thorough review of your policies to make sure they're being followed but most importantly, make sure that the policies you have in place are not out of date. Older procedures are not optimized to save time or money because they don't take advantage of the services that have become more available and more attainable over the years. If you're behind on your record-keeping or you think your policies and procedures could use a tune up, now is definitely the time to start!
And if you need help, don't hesitate to contact us here at Safeguard Records Management Co. With over fifteen years of experience in record storage and retrieval, and multiple options for secure document shredding, we can help you become fully organized no matter what field you're in.

You've Just Been Second Mile'd
Boy, that whole Penn State thing is a grease fire. I've purposely not touched it, even though I have very strong opinions about what should happen to many of them involved. However, there are a lot of journalists doing some outstanding work, and their hard work should be viewed.
First, even though I don't particularly care for his color commentary, Bob Costas occasional can knock a dick in the dirt, and his interview with Jerry Sandusky is brilliant. He asks great questions, he wears his emotions on his sleeve, and comes through with compelling television. You can view the whole thing over at rockcenter.msnbc.msn.com.
Grantland.com had a great article by Charles Pierce. You can view that here.
Some people have said that you shouldn't read the Sandusky Grand Jury findings because of how horrible they are, but I think everyone needs to read it because you need to know what they have discovered and if it revolts you, then maybe someday you won't be afraid to step forward to help do the right thing, to stop this type of horse shit. Click here to vomit in your mouth.
Anyway, the gist of the story is, if this guy did half the shit people claim, I feel like I need to wash my mouth out with soap and I just read about it. Here's hoping nothing like this ever happens again.

In fact, it takes a certain type of person to run a catering business. Find out whether it's for you by asking yourself these 10 questions:
Both you and your staff will be dealing with the public at all hours of the day and night. You may be tired and harassed, and sometimes customers' demands can be thoroughly irritating.
If your immediate reaction is to clobber anyone who annoys you, then we suggest you give up all thoughts of catering now! However, in our experience most customers are easy to get along with, provided they get good value and service.
Most street food is a 6-7 day a week business, and your day off may well be a Monday.
The hours will be long, unsociable and holidays may not happen for a long while. Some people thrive on being in the heart of busy social activities - the question is, do you?
Be prepared for difficulties, they will come. If you intend to give up at the first hurdle, this job isn't for you. The work is physically hard, the hours often grueling, and you will be on your feet most of the time.
You will be working on your own, and success will depend mainly on you. There is no boss to turn to or to blame if things go wrong. You will need to be self-motivated and positive in your approach to each job.
Are you self-disciplined enough to get up at 5:00am on a freezing winter morning if the need arises, or arrive with a smile even if you feel down in the dumps?
This is a very dog eat 'hotdog' kind of industry, and you will often need your wits about you to stay one step ahead of the competition.
People generally start out in this industry with loads of enthusiasm, but this can wear thin after a while and standards begin to drop. Unless you have the strength to maintain your professionalism, your reputation weakens and your profits will take a nosedive.
Can you cope with the bad times as well as the good? Mobile and outside catering can be a real money-spinner if you can keep the repeat business coming whilst keeping your eyes and ears open for new opportunities should circumstances change.
Cleanliness is definitely next to godliness in a catering environment. There will be plenty of cleaning and washing up, so if that's a chore to you, then maybe you should think again.
If you are the sort of person who always wants the family to be together, this may not be the ideal industry for you. At some shows there will be an opportunity to take the family along. However the stress and demands on your time running your own business are not always harmonious with a family life, particularly a young family.

- Conference
- 2014 National Women's Conference
- Date
- 18 October 2013
- Decision
- Carried
Conference believes that, despite the continued existence of discrimination against women and the barriers to women's participation at all levels of society, women are continuing to make progress in taking up leadership roles.
Conference further believes this is important in not only challenging the predominance of male power in our society, but also in providing positive role models for young women.
Conference also believes that such role models may be individuals, or may be groups of young women who have worked together to achieve positive change.
Conference calls on the National Women's Committee to seek to promote positive role models to young women, especially those who contribute to delivery of public services and who contribute to political life.
Conference also calls on the National Women's Committee to:
(i) call for examples from regional women's groups of young women who have made a positive difference in their workplaces, the union, and/or community, and seek to work with UNISON's Communications Department to help publicise their work through UNISON communication channels;
(ii) consider inviting a young woman to address next year's conference on the importance of young women's participation in the union and/or public life.

Fekete Kutya
If you want to escape the annoyingly rowdy bachelor-party crews in Budapest's party district but remain in the area, make your way to Fekete Kutya. Despite its location alarmingly near Kazinczy Street, the main artery of the neighborhood, Fekete Kutya has somehow managed to remain an unpretentious bar frequented by artistically-minded locals in their 20s and 30s. Feel free to mingle with them—the vibes are very laid-back.
During the warmer months, people gather by the small outdoor tables in the narrow alley outside the bar, under a high, arched ceiling. Fekete Kutya serves a few types of craft beers on draft, and better-than-average bar food—the chorizo tapas is a must.

Stacked Stag-Horn Baby Sweater (worsted weight) by Stacey Cilia, knit in Malabrigo Rios in Lettuce and Reflecting Pool.
addicted to baby knits
If The Hat Fits
And it does.
I very quickly finished the Barley I talked about in my last post for Miles, and love it so much that I've been debating casting on another one for a upcoming baby's birthday present.
On the other WIPs front, Miles's new Flax Light sweater is coming along slowly but surely. I've hit the body which means straight knitting now until the bottom ribbing so my attention has wandered a bit despite my love of the wonderful little garter rows the Mechita knits up.
And then, of course, because I have no self control and found my leftover balls of Rios, I decided Miles needed a Stacked Stag-horn Baby Sweater, like, now.
Since taking this picture, I've finished the body and started a sleeve. It's knit up wonderfully quick compared to the Flax Light and even the Netherton cardigan I've also been working on in DK. Ah, worsted weight, it's almost your season again.
I know, I know. I've got mad startitis and I just can't stop myself! I think part of the issue is that I've mostly given up trying to knit during the day with Miles because, well, things like this happen:
So now I reserve my post-Miles-bedtime time for knitting. This means roughly 3 hours or less where I try to cram in as much knitting as I can. Sigh.
Startitis Strikes Again
The other night all I wanted to do was knit, but none of my current projects called to me. What was a knitter to do? Cast on, of course! Except I found myself stuck between a rock and a hard place: a new hat or sweater for Milesman?
The answer was both!
Which is how I found myself with the start of a Barley hat (knit in one of my LYS's yarn dyed specially for them in a beautiful superwash wool. It was originally going to be a different sweater for Miles that never really seemed to work out and then ended up being too small for Miles anyways by the time I finished the body…) and another Flax Light in leftover Mechita yarn from my Boxy sweater (which means we'll technically match!). I love the simplicity of these tincanknits patterns. Sometimes there's nothing better than garter and stockinette stitch interplaying together, especially on a baby!
Now if only it'd get nippy again.
Living His Knitwear Destiny
In case you forgot, a bit ago I posted a picture of M. being the world's most unenthusiastic knitwear model. Well, I have good news! He has finally accepted his destiny, and is becoming a bit more enthusiastic about modelling his knitwear.
Miles was very comfy cozy today on our excursions – it's been quite windy and nippy lately – and the cardigan has stood up well to the buckets of drool he's been producing lately.
And after said droolmeister went to bed this evening, I managed to see on the finishing touches to the Little Coffee Bean Cardigan I made for a expecting friend of mine. It's adorable, and I'm very tempted to make another one.
I knit it with Sugar Bush Yarns Crisp, which is currently my absolute favourite worsted yarn for baby knits. It's incredibly soft, machine washable and is a decent yardage for the price. I can't wait to see her little one in it!
A New Knitting Recipient is Coming
I've got a new knitting recipient to knit for, and I'm excited to say they're going to belong all to me…and Husband. Yes! I'm pregnant! And Baby S. is expected to arrive sometime around the end of May.
This will be our first baby, and the thought of getting to knit so many little knits for a wee little babe all my own is SO EXCITING! I've already got a blanket on the needles, another sweater, yarn on standby for another sweater and booties. Eeeeeeeeee!
The Squishiness That is Baby Knits
Have I ever talked about how much I love baby knits? Because I do. One part of me thinks it's ridiculous to spend so much time on an article of clothing that may not get worn very often (or at all), and another part of me just wants to throw as much knitted cuteness as I can at every baby.
This was a spur of the moment knit (seriously, I knit this bad boy within a couple days). The Lazy Daisies Sweater by Anna & Heidi Pickles; I've knit the matching turban before, which is equally, if not more, adorable, and wanted to give the sweater a go since I've got lots of half balls of DK and sport weight yarn. Spoiler surprise! The blue Drops Alpakka yarn I thought was DK was actually sport weight! Whoops! Luckily it matched gauge so who cares. I also used some of my leftover Indigo Dragonfly "Daleks Don't Give Out Pink Slips" and white Woolly. Of course, I overestimated how much of the Drops Alpakka I had, but I personally like the striped effect going on. I would definitely knit this pattern again as the daisy stitch is addicting and has so many colour opportunities.
And for those of you wondering, yes, this is ending up in my own personal stash of completed baby knits, but no, I'm not pregnant. However, I do have a couple friends who are and they're the reason I've been thrown into a baby knitting kick. This cardi just happened to be too cute for me to bear to part with 😉
I've also cast on a Garter Stitch Baby Kimono by Joji Locatelli for one of those friends with a fingering yarn I bought at Never Not Knitting in Port Perry, Ontario specially dyed only for that store in a beautiful grey colourway called "Scucog's October Skies" which I thought was only fitting for my friend as she is due in October. So far the yarn is beautiful and the garter stitch is beautiful (something about garter stitch in fingering weight makes me all dreamy-like) but holy smokes is it a long knit for a baby sweater – mostly because it's a wrap-around and not your traditional cardigan.
And I still have at least two other baby knits I'm itching to cast on for. I'll admit I'm going a little bit overboard for these soon-to-be babes. Remember how I said about throwing as many knits as I can at babies? Yup, in that phase right now. Oh dear me.
In non-baby knits news, I've completed one of the sleeves for Husband's cardigan and started the second. Hurrah for me! If I can bust through the second sleeve before April gets here, I'll be a happy knitter and the best wife ever.

Fleetwood is accessible by car, tram and public transport
Fleetwood stands on a peninsula, bounded by the River Wyre.
Decimus Burton originally laid the streets out in a radiating grid from The Mount. The streets in the centre of town can be confusing but The Mount and lighthouses provide direction. Aim for those and you'll find your way!
Getting to Fleetwood by Public Transport
April 2012 saw the return of the trams to Fleetwood. They're now what's called a 'light railway' with a fleet of modern, new Bombardier trams.
The service runs regularly each day to Fleetwood, following the line of the coast from Squires Gate tram depot at the southern end of Blackpool.
The old heritage trams are also still in operation. You can catch a variety of different heritage trams at weekends and during special event days. Throughout the holiday season from Easter to October the heritage trams operate a regular service. Enjoy illuminations tours during the autumn season.
The bus service which runs along the promenade is also operated by Blackpool Transport.
Getting to Fleetwood by Car
From Cleveleys and the coast:
The easiest and most scenic way is to follow the main road and coast road.
Heading north on Cleveleys seafront the promenade road parts from the coastal footpath at Thornton Gate. Just past Rossall School at Westway the highway rejoins the coast.
Travelling to Fleetwood from Blackpool the easiest and most interesting way to Fleetwood is to follow the main road. Head through the centre of Cleveleys, staying next to the tram lines.
The scenic route
Turn left at Westway after Rossall School. You won't see the sea on your left because of the flood defence wall, but in a short distance the scenery opens up as you approach the Golf Club.
Carry along this coast road without turning off, and you'll travel round the tip of the peninsula.
See the boating lakes, Marine Hall and The Mount, the seafront and North Euston Hotel, beach and RNLI. Then the docks and finally Asda and Affinity Lancashire.
From the RNLI turn right and go inland down any of the side streets and you'll come to the main shopping street and market.
From the A585:
Coming to Fleetwood from the motorway network or inland, pick up the main A585 and stick with it and follow the signs for Fleetwood.
Eventually you will see Affinity Lancashire on your right, and Asda on your left. At this roundabout if you turn left you arrive at Lord Street which is the end of the main high street. This is the opposite end of town to the market.
Carry on along the main road at the Asda/Affinity Lancashire roundabout and you'll pass the new Health Centre and the old docks.
Next is the RNLI and beach with the North Euston Hotel on your left. Carry on round to the Marine Hall, boating lakes, golf course, and finally end up back on the main road to Cleveleys. Turn left off this road anywhere from Asda to the RNLI and you are a short hop from the shopping areas and market.
Car Parking
There is a pay and display car park in Fleetwood near the market on Albert Street. Another one is at the other side of the market on Custom House Lane/off Victoria Street. Wyre residents can park here for free for two hours with a residents permit.
There is plenty of free on street parking all over Fleetwood, including on Lord Street. It's easy to stop off and pick up what you need to buy.
