Dec. 13 — Facebook Inc. shareholders will get more information about the company's proposed stock reclassification, after a Delaware judge ruled that some communications by financial adviser Goldman Sachs & Co. weren't privileged ( In re Facebook Inc. Class C Reclassification Litig., Del. Ch., No. 12286-VCL, 12/12/16 ).
Vice Chancellor J. Travis Laster in a Dec. 12 order determined that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg couldn't use attorneys "as go-betweens so as to cloak investment banker analysis with the protections of privilege."
"Virtually all documents" submitted by Goldman, Zuckerberg's financial adviser, for private court review don't contain legal advice, Laster said. Despite this finding, Laster determined that Zuckerberg properly asserted the privilege with respect to some communications. The court previously found that some of the documents withheld by Evercore Partners, another financial adviser involved in the reclassification, weren't protected under the privilege.
The rulings are part of a lawsuit in which shareholders allege that Facebook directors breached their legal duties by supporting the company's plan to create a new class of non-voting stock. During discovery, Facebook and the shareholders disagreed over whether various documents were protected by the attorney-client privilege.
Last month, the Delaware Chancery Court said shareholders failed to show there was good cause to pierce the privilege shield to learn more about how a special committee of directors negotiated the reclassification with Zuckerberg. However, the court said it would privately review specific materials to determine whether the privilege was properly asserted.
In April, Facebook's board recommended that shareholders approve the creation of new class C shares, which provide no voting rights. The reclassification would allow Facebook to declare a dividend of two new shares of non-voting stock for each outstanding share.
Currently, stockholders who own Facebook Class A shares have one vote per share, and those with Class B shares have 10 votes per share. Zuckerberg, who owns or controls the majority of Facebook's Class B stock, has over 60 percent of the voting power in the company. Under the proposed plan, the company would potentially pay a dividend of two shares of Class C stock for each share of Class A and Class B stock.
The underlying lawsuit claimed that the reclassification would be unfair to minority stockholders. Zuckerberg in August 2015 proposed the capital restructuring so that he could use a significant block of his shares to fund philanthropic endeavors.

Biostar's Refreshed Mini ITX Racing X470GTN AM4 Motherboard Revealed
Subject: Motherboards | April 5, 2018 - 08:27 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: x470, mini ITX, ddr4, biostar, amd, AM4
Biostar is planning to release an updated Mini ITX AMD motherboard according to leaked images sourced by Videocardz. According to the image, the new board will be called the Biostar Racing X470GTN and will feature the AMD X470 chipset which is a refreshed enthusiast chipset that is supposed to be more power efficient and contain tweaks and optimizations for AMD's upcoming "Zen+" Ryzen 2000 series of desktop processors and APUs.
The Racing X470GTN looks very similar to the Racing X370GTN that Biostar released last year down to the same black PCB and board component layout though the VRM heatsink has been spruced up a bit and is now in red and white rather than black and white. Further, the X470 chipset heatsink lacks the carbon fiber aesthetic and the PCI-E slot is white instead of black. Lastly, the PCB audio isolation for the onboard audio may have been slightly tweaked. The LED-equipped Mini ITX motherboard is powered by a 24-pin ATX and a 4-pin EPS CPU power connector that feeds the seven phase (4+3) power phases. Unfortunately, the heatsink on the VRMs does not look any larger which may hamper any heavy overclocking attempts on the processor as Hardware Canucks saw rather high temperatures (though not magic smoke bad) at stock clocks on the X370GTN they reviewed. In any event, the AM4 socket sits up top and is surrounded by two DDR4 memory slots, four SATA 6 Gbps ports, and one PCI-E 3.0 x16 slot. There is also a PCI-E M.2 slot hidden behind the board for enthusiasts. The onboard audio codec is a Realtek ALC892 chip (per Videocardz) and while the leaked image does not confirm anything I am guessing the Gigabit Ethernet NIC is also of Realtek origin and is likely the same RTL8118AS used in the previous generation motherboard.
As far as rear I/O is concerned, there is not much to speak of but Biostar does include a decent amount of high speed USB ports with at least two being USB 3.1 Gen 2 and the remaining four being USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 Gen 1 (the X370GTN had USB 3.0 but the X470 update may have bumped these up to USB 3.1 Gen 1 not that it matters in practical terms of speed). In addition to USB, the Racing X470GTN's rear panel hosts a combo PS/2 port, DVI and HDMI video outputs, Gigabit Ethernet, and six audio outputs (one optical, five analog).
Naturally, being a leak, there is no word on official pricing or availability on this motherboard, but I would guess it will be priced around $120 following the launch of AMD's Ryzen 2000 series CPUs and 400 series chipsets.
In other Mini ITX X470 news:
Video News
Not another "racing" board. When the idiots in marketing name these things, aiming towards teenage boys, do they ever consider the other 90% of potential customers who wouldn't be caught dead buying this crap because of the ludicrous name? Or have they just given up on serious customers?
this doesn't in any way mean anything to your use of the product, and this IS a seriously impressive product, the X370 i have it has good enough VRMs to mildly overclock a 1700x i had, overclock 2200g with igpu to limit with ram at 1.2v soc even though it has no SOC heatsink and more phases for SOC than CPU, enough grunt in the IMC controller to actually feed Hynix ram at 3200mhz @ 1.365v a lot of the time since 1004A AGESA before May 2017 and that was before Crosshair VI Hero could do it, and i tested with Prime95 blend temps never going above 77c on 120mm AIO, and that is also a 'Game Max Iceberg 120mm' all-in-one loop cooler, would you believe it costs 42GBP yet you'd diss it over a 'Game' name? Honestly, you do not know what you are missing.
Is it really that bad? 'Outrace' your point & the competition. Remember this is kind of asian and not really to do with bad marketing but translation issues... I prefer Racing to 'MSI HARDCORE GAMING'
X470 coming for Ryzen 2! AMD is really making a comeback!
I have a 370GTN, it's a good solid board. The drawback is the lack of onboard wireless, and too few fan headers.
I have X370GTN, it's nice, i use it for my mini-itx build with Raven Ridge but the bios 1000a for it is hard to find due to site revisions. Probably the most 'reliable' (all reliable is bleeding-edge on Ryzen though) AM4 M-ITX board. I use it with 2200G Overclocked to 3.85ghz with 3200Mhz CL14 ram with tightened subtimings, at native 1.35v DRAM, had to boost SOC voltage which may cause some long term damage due to lack of heatsink on those parts, but with a 120mm AIO i use it is stable in a cramped Elite 130 case, the most quirky PC i probably built, but my first mini-ITX, and possibly the coolest one, it is very stable and temps are max 77c on 'system' and CPU once on water, so the board does have potential and i wouldn't be surprised if it could all-core overclock a 2600X at least to 4-4.1ghz easily, compared to 1st Gen Zen, even with the same voltage regulators - or very similar. Biostar may have awful, childish sounding of marketing, but this is Taiwanese/Asian and you got to remember they have a lot of pack for the money. In spite of using a old sound chipset it is the clearest version of that, and i used the same one on Prime b350-plus which was awful. I used to have 1st gen zen 1700x overclocked to 3.9ghz happily with 3200mhz cl16 xmp ram on Corsair Vengenance LPX, stress test/memtest hci stable for 200-300% no errors, so kind of legit good IMC controller. Some of those older boards, even REV.5 came with AGESA 1004a, the x370gtn instead of original, the rev.5 comes with black socket instead of white as on first Ryzen advertisement photos, and 1006a bios mostly, but rev.5. still can come with 1004a so beware if you want to use anything under Ryzen 5.... Overall it is a good m-itx AM4.

Sharing this great hiking list from our new friend over at "Be In Transition". We added Detroit Lake and the Willamette National Forest to her list of "Beautiful Spring Hikes in Oregon" And, since she's an Oregon Fan… Go Cougs!
1. Abiqua Falls | Scotts Mills, Oregon
If you're looking for a place to escape, with no cell reception, a quick 2 and half mile hike, and formations that could only be made from mother nature herself… Abiqua Falls is the place for you. A 92 foot fall, secluded and tucked away for only the adventurous. Pack a lunch, blanket, water, a book, a swimsuit (depending on the time of year) and a camera. You will not regret it.
Disclaimer; this is not an easy place to find, with virtually no road markers and an extremely rough terrain to drive over, I recommend a truck/car with 4 wheel drive. 100% worth it all.
ALSO: Please do not start a fire. My sister and I stumbled upon this one already lit and simply enjoyed it for what it was. Never leave a human trace when exploring and admiring Oregon's beauty.

I Am Pleased With Community
The staff are very patient and Brenda is always willing to help make things better. The community seems to be clean and kept up. My mother-in-law is still transitioning into the wholesome meals but others say it's good. I believe my mother-in-law is safe here and they provide great care.
Come home to Quiet Waters
The best thing about Quiet Waters is the people who own and operate the facility and their staff. Everyone is very kind and friendly. Moreover, it doesn't have the impersonal feel of an "institution," perhaps because it's small enough for all of us residents to know and interact with one another and the staff in a relaxed way.
Furthermore, the staff are very attentive and quick to respond to any request for help or information. They know us residents as individuals and respond to specific needs of each person according to his or her needs and personality.
I visited three other facilities and none of them made me feel as comfortable as Mike and Brenda.
And I might add that their rates are more than reasonable, considering the personal services that they provide and the attractiveness of the grounds and buildings.
Quiet Waters/A Touch of Heaven rates well
My wife and I placed my 95 year old mother at Quiet Waters in January of this year and we were very imprressed. The room(s) are about 100-120 square feet and are not shared. The bathroom(s) are shared, however, with two other residents. The caregivers (and here, I should point out that caregivers can only provide limited assistance, since this is an independent living facility) are friendly and extremely courteous.
My mother has since been placed in A Touch of Heaven Assisted Living, which is next door. It is operated by the same owner, Brenda Trammell, and is also an excellent facility with about 25- residents right now.
Cost for Quiet Waters is around $1400-$1500/month
Cost for A Touch of Heaven is around $2800/month
Quiet Waters is a non-smoking, family-owned and operated facility with the goal of helping seniors maintain their independence in a home-like setting. We offer private studios and two-room units. Each unit has both an interior and a private exterior entrance and patio. Each bedroom's closet comes equipped with a closet organizer. Cable and Wi-Fi is provided throughout the facility. All bathrooms feature walk-in showers.
Caring staff is in throughout the day and evenings. The owners handpick their staff to ensure workers who are passionate about their work and who see our residents as family members who deserve love, respect, and dignity.
Three meals a day are provided along with a 3 PM ice cream social. A refrigerator, microwave, and coffee pot are available in the kitchen for resident use. Our activities are available at A Touch of Heaven, Assisted Living, which is directly next door. Monday – Wednesday we have Bingo after lunch. Tuesday morning is Bible Study. On Thursday, we have musicians come in for sing-alongs. This is usually gospel music, or the 'oldies but goodies.' We will assist Quiet Water with their own Friday evening popcorn and movie and Saturday Lawrence Welk. We have a group of grade school children who come in quarterly to sing. June is our big Farm Party up the mountain, and December is our Community Christmas Party. For an extra charge, a hair stylist comes in every Tuesday and a pedicurist comes in every eight weeks.
Owners, Mike and Brenda Trammell, a husband and wife team, have worked together for over 20 years. Brenda worked alongside Mike for 10 years at his Farmers Insurance Office on Bechelli Lane. On May 1, 2002, Mike helped Brenda fulfill her dream of helping the elderly when they opened A Touch of Heaven, Assisted Living. After 12 years of experience operating their assisted living, Mike and Brenda were ready to expand their services to the elderly with the opening of their next senior facility, Quiet Waters Independent Living.
At Quiet Waters you will reap the benefits of owners who are actively involved in seeking the very best for their residents.

Oranjebitter Festival 2015
Rotterdam's finest King's Day festival is Oranjebitter. Back in 2008, a couple of friends started it as a small home party with some local bands. To represent that feeling, they used an image of a granny's floor lamp as their logo. Over the years the party grew into a full-size festival attended by 10.000 visitors.
For their lucky 7th anniversary we decided it would be best to go with a neon sign theme and upgrade that floor lamp into a tower of light. It took us over 600 light bulbs, 120 meters of cable light and 200 meters of wiring, and we build it entirely by hand.

Threat at Northeast leads to further misbehavior
Midland Police are now taking part in the investigation of a verbal threat made by a Northeast Middle School student Tuesday, as well as comments made later by other students.
A police officer and guidance counselors were at the school Friday to ensure safety.
The incident began when a student made a threat, characterized as a "specific and potentially dangerous verbal threat" toward several classmates, Principal Dirk R. DeBoer wrote in a letter that was emailed to parents Wednesday. The threat was quickly reported to staff by students.
Midland Police were notified at that time, and the school handled the matter internally.
An email to parents from DeBoer on Thursday states misinformation was shared on social media and in the news, and he clarified there had been no additional threats to the safety of students at Northeast since the original threat made on Tuesday.
However, some students made bad choices after the incident, using Instagram to comment in support of the student who made the original threat.
"Some of these comments encouraged students to misbehave in protest or support of the student," DeBoer wrote. "This type of behavior is obviously unacceptable and only adds to the stress people are already feeling."
In another example, a student mocked the situation of the original threat, disturbing classmates.
The school, which follows crime free school policies to respond to incidents as well as to impose consequences, has removed the student who made the threat from the school and consequences have been imposed upon the remaining misbehaving students, DeBoer reported. Also, the district's youth intervention specialist and Community Mental Health were contacted to help the student who made the threat.
"I am incredibly thankful for the resources our community has to offer our school," DeBoer wrote.

Local Dems get message: victory in fall is possible but not without hard work
Local Democrats were given a message of hope and cautious optimism Saturday afternoon during an event in Oswego where Sen. Dick Durbin endorsed Lauren Underwood, the Naperville nurse who is running for Congress against U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, in the Nov. 6 election.
Durbin spoke to a crowd of local Democrats outside of the Hunt Club subdivision clubhouse Saturday afternoon, July 28, and endorsed Underwood, who handily beat her fellow Democratic Party challengers in the spring primary election. Durbin had also held a town hall meeting earlier that day at Waubonsee Community College in Sugar Grove.
During the event, the message given by party leaders was clear: victory is possible in the fall, but not without hard work.
"If we do not continue this energy and continue to knock on doors, and to be involved, and to talk about why we love Lauren, and why Lauren is the best candidate for our district, we could lose," said Julie Gondar, the Kendall County Democratic Party chairman. "I don't wanna bum anybody out, but we have to be involved and we have to be on the ground."
Gondar noted that the local party had organized a canvassing event, where volunteers and candidates knock on doors, immediately following the event.
Kristina Zahorik, Illinois Democratic Party State Central Committeewoman for the 14th Congressional District, also spoke with a similar message.
"After today, after right now, you go march yourself in there and you get a packet, and if you can't knock on a door, then you make a phone call; if you can't make a phone call, then you sit and write a check, but you do something every single day between now and Nov. 6, otherwise, Lauren doesn't win," Zahorik said.
Durbin said he likes to host town halls and other events in areas with a strong Republican presence.
"It's a pretty good experience," he said. "They don't agree with you on everything, but that's what we call democracy."
Durbin's advice to those suffering from cable news burnout: turn off the TV and get to work campaigning for candidates.
"What I'm saying to them is, turn off the TV for goodness sakes," he said. "We have 101 days before an election. Give up TV for 101 days. Take that energy, that stress, that commitment and turn it into something real. We have real candidates who can make a difference."
Durbin suggested he was skeptical about how Underwood would perform in the primary, noting that she was a political newbie, but that he changed his mind when he saw the results election night.
"She kicked.... fannies, and showed in a minute just in that night what her appeal is to all of us," he said. "She's fresh, she's smart, she's determined, and she speaks for so many people who've been waiting on the sidelines and now want to get involved and make a difference in this country."
Underwood said she was an intern in Washington in 2006 when Durbin and then-Sen. Barack Obama hosted monthly coffees for constituents, and noted that Durbin was in the 14th on Saturday hosting a town hall. She contrasted that with Hultgren, who she said "will not show up" for his constituents and has not hosted in-person town hall meetings.
"We know there's so much value in showing up, and engaging and in listening," Underwood said.
Underwood has made her number one issue on the campaign trail healthcare, noting that she has a heart condition and has been an advocate for the Affordable Care Act. She ripped Hultgren for voting in 2017 for the American Health Care Act, which was designed to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
"I was really upset and I decided to do something about it, and I said, 'It's on, and I'm running for Congress,' and you all have had my back," she said. "I'm so grateful."
After the event, Durbin addressed what he thought could be the key to victory for his party in a district such as the 14th that has traditionally been a Republican "lock" in Congressional elections, with the recent exception of Bill Foster in 2008.
"It's a change in demographics, which means new population coming in, so you can't assume anything," Durbin said. "Secondly, this is a decisive year. The level of interest in voting, particularly on the Democratic side, is high, because people want to make sure that there is some check on this president in Washington. And those who are voting consistently with the president and have not broken with him on some fundamental issues really have an important challenge ahead of them. And I think the third thing is, we've got a candidate. I was serious what I said up there: I set out to make sure that we had good, strong candidates in these Congressional races, and we do. Lauren is a perfect example: she is brand new to the scene, has a healthcare background in a year where healthcare is the number one issue. Pretty good match."

With a competitive statutory corporate income tax rate in Europe—19% on the first €200,000 and 25% for taxable profits exceeding €200,000—the Dutch tax system has a number of attractive features for international companies:
The Dutch tax ruling practice has a 30-year track record of being fully in line with OECD standards. And thanks to the Netherlands' stable government and highly accessible and cooperative tax administration, companies can feel confident that any adjustments will be implemented in such a way that maintains attractiveness for foreign investors, minimizes impediments for business and guarantees cooperation and transparency from tax authorities.

Noah: the Film, the Man, the Flood
The new blockbuster film Noah is making a splash, but Jason Di Rosso (RN's Final Cut) is nostalgic for old fashioned versions of biblical epics with God as a powerful father figure.
Noah might have saved the world once, but he could save the world again -- from inter-religious strife, says Rabbi Shimon Cowen, who's received broad endorsement for the 7 laws of Noah as a key to social harmony.
The Flood's origins in Mesopotamia are challenged by archaeological findings that historian Ian Wilson has drawn together in his book Before the Flood, but he also finds much that supports the Biblical account.

Deemed as one of the most expensive fruits in the world, avocados have become quite the rage these days. Owing to the bandwagon of vegan lifestyles and increased awareness about superfoods, avocado has come to rule the roost as fruit with numerous health benefits.
Traditional to Mexican recipes, avocados are increasingly used for various foods from sandwiches, salads, and soups to even sushi. So much so that, an entire restaurant dedicated to avocados opened its doors in Amsterdam in April this year. Chefs particularly enjoy working with its creamy consistency, while nutritionists swear by its health benefits. Avocado contains high amounts of monounsaturated fat or good fat as it is popularly known; along with vitamins A, B, C and E, proteins, lecithin and potassium. Rich in Vitamin B6 and folic acid, it is laden with antioxidants that are known to slow ageing.
Often treated as a vegetable, avocado is a subtropical tree, native to Mexico and South America. Mexico's Michoacan state is reputedly the world's leading exporter of avocados. Although US$800-million worth of the fruit is produced annually, it is gaining ground relatively slowly in Asia. The US is the biggest importer of avocados in the world so far, while China and Japan are the latest emerging markets.
Apart from being good for health, it is also a better alternative in the kitchen. It has the highest smoke point of all cooking oils — 525F, thus making it suitable for deep frying, high heat cooking, stir frying, sautéing, and the likes.
Sold at a premium in Asia, the goodness of this nutrient-rich fruit is now easier to access. Packaged in a bottle, cold-pressed Avocado oil, with a shelf life of about two years, is a healthy fat replacement. While olive oil and its variants have been popular as a healthier choice for years, cold-pressed Avocado oil is slowly creeping in as a better alternative, for reasons more than one.
Unlike sunflower, peanut and sesame oils, avocado oil is made from the fruit instead of the seed. Olive oil, made from both the fruit and seed, has a sharp taste, best suited for seasoning and specific recipes. On the contrary, avocado oil has a mild, buttery and nutty flavour that does not overpower the real flavour of the food.
It has a light and smooth texture that is easy to absorb and blends in with all types of recipes. Full of beneficial fatty acids and vitamins, avocado oil retains 95% of the nutrition of the actual fruit, said Piyush Shah, managing director of Avocado Global, a leading importer and distributor of Avocado oil in South-east Asia.
Avocado oil contains 70% of monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid called oleic acid, 16% saturated fat, and 14% polyunsaturated fatty acids, which contain omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids.
Apart from being good for health, it is also a better alternative in the kitchen. It has the highest smoke point of all cooking oils — 525F, thus making it suitable for deep frying, high heat cooking, stir frying, sautéing, and the like. Avocado's neutral taste and high cooking temperatures also make it a suitable substitute for half of the butter required (or even fully replace it) in bakery products.
Singapore Chef John See said that he has fully switched to cooking with avocado oil at all his cooking demonstrations. "The high smoke point is very appealing to me as I don't have to worry about the temperature while cooking". He said avocado oil is great for Asian stir frys because the oil expands when heated and thus a small amount is good enough to coat a sizeable portion of vegetables.
With more health benefits than any other oil, avocado oil is popular only among the health-conscious consumers who are willing to pay a higher price. Hugely popular in the US, it is also used by snack manufacturers such as Cattle Chips.
While Asia is still lagging behind in adapting to healthier choices, the rise in consumption of the fruit in various countries is hope that the oil will gain popularity and gradually replace other cooking oils. "There is a severe lack of awareness about superfoods in Asia and we mostly follow health fads of the West," said Shah.
In Singapore, it has been endorsed by the Health Promotion Board as a "healthier choice" and restaurants too are slowly moving towards this trend. "Rise, a restaurant at Marina Bay Sands, has recently switched to fully cooking with avocado oil," Shah pointed out. And there is hope the trend will pick up once consumers realise the health benefits and demand for it, he added.

A MOTHER and father have revealed their fears for their three sons serving in the armed forces following the tragic death of Private Jason Rawstron.
Phillip, Daniel and Matthew Baldwin, who share a house in Rishton Road, Clayton, are in the Army, RAF and Royal Marines respectively and their father David believes all three could be thrust into the heat of battle in the next few months.
All three are former Hollins Technology College pupils.
Machine gunner Phillip, 24, of the Duke of Lancaster Regiment, is ready to be called up to Afghanistan by the end of the year, while father-to-be Daniel, 22, is set to travel to southern Iraq in three weeks' time.
Matthew, who turns 21 on Wednesday, recently "passed out" out of the Royal Marines in double quick time and is currently on a driving course at his unit in Taunton.
David, who now lives in Blackburn, said: "We were just thinking of that poor lad who got killed. As a parent you think how do you sleep at night? You just have to put it to the back of your mind.
"In the next few months I could have all three of them in Iraq or Afghanistan. Phillip is quite likely to go to Afghanistan because he's in Cyprus doing desert training. Daniel is going into a relatively safe area of Iraq to install communications equipment. And with Matthew, being a Royal Marine, we have no idea."
Until around four years ago the family home was in Blackburn Road, Clayton-le-Moors, but David's ex-wife and the boys' mum, Shirley, now also lives in the Blackburn area, while the grandparents live in Oswaldtwistle and Great Harwood.
Shirley said: "I'm proud of them but it does get very difficult from a mother's point of view. I could be the next mother getting the next phone call but I don't like to think about it.
"It's just their careers and what they wanted to do. I wouldn't stand in their way."
David, who works for Blackburn Council, has no military background, although his father did national service, and is amazed that all three of his sons chose a military career.
He said: "They're all team players. I once asked Phillip how he felt about it and he was saying how much he enjoys getting his camouflage gear on and fighting for real.
"He said: 'Dad, we're trained for it.'"

Grace Snellville
Grace Marietta introduces Ben Hardman as Campus Pastor
It is with great pleasure that we introduce Ben Hardman as Grace-Marietta Campus Pastor. After much prayer, the Grace Family of Churches Elder Board, along with Grace Campus pastors, feel Ben is the person God has called to lead Grace-Marietta.
Ben Hardman Bio
Ben's vision is to awaken God's people, equip God's family, and unleash God's mission in the life of everyday leaders through mission and discipleship.
He has been involved in Christian ministry for over 20 years, in megachurch, youth ministry, and church planting contexts. He speaks and trains frequently at events across the country.
Ben was a team leader on the staff at Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky, before becoming one of the founding pastors of The Avenue, a church plant on the campus of the University of Louisville.
Formerly named as one of the top thirty youth ministers in America and one of the top thirty Christian leaders under thirty, Ben is a graduate of Anderson University with a degree in Bible & Christian ministries.
He is a huge Ohio State Buckeye fan and a former high school basketball coach. Ben will be moving to Marietta with his wife Sarah and kids Cole, Caden, and Claire to pastor Grace-Marietta beginning April 2017.

Buddy Hoffman—the founding pastor of the Grace Family of Churches—went to be with the Lord Sunday night, February 12, around 8p. Though we have been anticipating this day for some time, the sadness of separation is real and very significant, especially for Buddy's wife, Jody, for his children, Gabe, Joy, and Spring, and for all the extended family and deep friends whose lives have been touched by Buddy's faithful ministry.

I received the following by email. Apparently, this is a real reply from the Inland Revenue. The Guardian newspaper had to ask for special permission to print it. I tired to research it's authenticity but couldn't come up with anything. Nevertheless, true or false, I still found it post worthy. The funniest part of this is imagining the content of the letter sent to the Tax Office which prompted this reply! (Update: The source)
Dear Mr Addison,
I am writing to you to express our thanks for your more than prompt reply to our latest communication, and also to answer some of the points you raise. I will address them, as ever, in order.
Firstly, I must take issue with your description of our last as a "begging letter". It might perhaps more properly be referred to as a "tax demand". This is how we at the Inland Revenue have always, for reasons of accuracy, traditionally referred to such documents.
Secondly, your frustration at our adding to the "endless stream of crapulent whining and panhandling vomited daily through the letterbox on to the doormat" has been noted. However, whilst I have naturally not seen the other letters to which you refer I would cautiously suggest that their being from "pauper councils, Lombardy pirate banking houses and pissant gas-mongerers" might indicate that your decision to "file them next to the toilet in case of emergencies" is at best a little ill-advised. In common with my own organisation, it is unlikely that the senders of these letters do see you as a "lackwit bumpkin" or, come to that, a "sodding charity". More likely they see you as a citizen of Great Britain, with a responsibility to contribute to the upkeep of the nation as a whole.
Which brings me to my next point. Whilst there may be some spirit of truth in your assertion that the taxes you pay "go to shore up the canker-blighted, toppling folly that is the Public Services", a moment's rudimentary calculation ought to disabuse you of the notion that the government in any way expects you to "stump up for the whole damned party" yourself. The estimates you provide for the Chancellor's disbursement of the funds levied by taxation, whilst colourful, are, in fairness, a little off the mark. Less than you seem to imagine is spent on "junkets for Bunterish lickspittles" and "dancing whores" whilst far more than you have accounted for is allocated to, for example, "that box-ticking facade of a university system."
A couple of technical points arising from direct queries:
1. The reason we don't simply write "Muggins" on the envelope has to do with the vagaries of the postal system;
2. You can rest assured that "sucking the very marrow of those with nothing else to give" has never been considered as a practice because even if the Personal Allowance didn't render it irrelevant, the sheer medical logistics involved would make it financially unviable.
I trust this has helped. In the meantime, whilst I would not in any way wish to influence your decision one way or the other, I ought to point out that even if you did choose to "give the whole foul jamboree up and go and live in India" you would still owe us the money.
Please send it to us by Friday.
Yours sincerely,
H J Lee
Customer Relations

In my effort to authenticate the above I come across another letter that was sent to the Inland revenue by a tax payer explaining why he is withholding some of his taxes. Read it here:

Orpheus 4.01 is in development. It has the ability to offer new voice types using
a much smaller voice database. These new voices retain the speaker identity and naturalness
of the concatenative voices like Brad, but offer the potential for better
intelligibility at higher talking rates.
The voices use the methods of the 'formant' analysis and synthesis used for synthetic voices, but
unlike those synthetic voices, the analysis is applied separately to the each fragment
of speech making up a voice database This allows the special manipulations of the voice that
give intelligibility at fast-talking to be applied, but retains most of the speaker's natural
The problem some users experienced downloading Orpheus installation packs from this site has now been
corrected. We apologise for the inconvenience caused.
We are sorry to note that users are experiencing problems downloading Orpheus installations
from this site. We apologise for the inconvenience and are trying to get the service running again
as soon as possible.
Meridian One is pleased to announce that current releases of Orpheus TTS and Orpheus TTS plus
are fully compatible with Microsoft Windows 7.
Work on Orpheus 3.03 has been extended to include an update to the TTS engine.
Orpheus TTS or Orpheus TTS plus 3.03, with the engine update and Hindi will be
a FREE update for users with earlier activated versions of Orpheus TTS or TTS Plus
from Meridian One.
The additional update delays the release of Orpheus with Hindi. However, Orpheus 3.03 voices
will have better performance under fast speech scenarios and a smoother feel. Orpheus 3.03
will also include updates to the US and UK English pronunciation lexicons.
Progress continues with Orpheus 3.03 and its Hindi voice.
The basic conversion of Devanagari Unicode to Hindi speech is working including
the effects of markings for nasal vowels and consonants. Some rules for
'schwa' deletion are implemented: more work is being done here, on the
speech sounds and on phrase and sentence delivery.
Orpheus 3.03 with Hindi will be a free update for users with activated
versions of 3.01 or 3.02.
Work is now in progress to create a synthetic Hindi voice for Orpheus 3.
The first release of Hindi will be available as a free upgrade to version 3.02.
The first version of Orpheus Hindi will convert the Unicode representation of Devanagari
script into speech using rule and lexicon-based methods to deal with issues of
'schwa deletion' and interpretation of markings such as candrabindu and anusvar.
Watch this space for more information.
Version 3.02 of Orpheus, the text-to-speech (TTS) synthesiser from
Meridian One is now released and available for

Please read the release notice

A short while ago we heard the very sad news of the death of Veli-Pekka Tätilä at
the very young age of 24. I had spoken with Vellu over many years about speech,
TTS for blind and visually impaired computer users, the Finnish language in particular
and whatever else occurred. Latterly Vellu was helping test the latest betas of
the new Orpheus. He was always most helpful, interested and engaging; he
had so much he wanted to give.
Vellu will be missed by many in the visually impaired and blind communities. My
deepest sympathies go out to all his family, friends and colleagues.

We regularly look at what types of articles draw the most visitors on our websites. One of the biggies is maintenance. What's interesting about maintenance of hydraulic systems is that even though many of the tools and instruments have changed dramatically during my 25+ years on H&P, many of the problems and their solutions are still the same.
Probably the most frequent cause of hydrauic system malfunctions continues to be contamination. But another is misapplication of products, especially hose. Hydraulic hose is really tough, and it seems to be almost indestructible when new. But after being subjected to the rigors of hydraulic pressure, flow, high temperatures, and wide swings in all these, hoses can suffer premature failure if not applied, routed, and installed properly.
If you're faced with a hose that is leaking or, worse yet, started coming apart, how do you know what the cause is? Discovering what wnent wrong can be a big step in preventing future failures. Detailed fialure analysis should be left to experts, but sometimes seeing the results of misapplication or improper installationg will aid understanding of why manfacturers have developed their recommendations.
I found an article that does just this. It covers more than a dozen hose failures, explains what the problem is, what caused it, and how to prevent it in the future. Click here to view the article.
The key to preventing these premature failures, of course, is training. We have dozens of articles on our website describing proper application, routing, and installation of hydraulic hose.

"Denmark's immigration policy is not going to change; the voters need to know that the law holds,'' Mr Rasmussen told voters in a speech on Tuesday night (26 August) in his constituency of Greve, Bloomberg reported.

He was reacting to a debate sparked in his country by a recent verdict by the EU's top court in Luxembourg that struck down Irish restrictions on the residency of foreign spouses of EU citizens. The Irish restrictions were similar to rules that are applied in Denmark.
Mr Rasmussen argued that his government would press EU institutions and other member states to prevent any changes to the Danish immigration legislation as a result of the court's ruling.
"We're trying to change the set of rules inside the EU so that we can get things as we want them,'' Mr Rasmussen added.
The differences between Danish law and EU rules mainly involve the ban for citizens under 24 years old to bring their non-EU spouses into the country - viewed as a way to prevent Danish Muslims from bringing their partners through arranged marriage.
Similarly, such mixed couples who have lived in other EU member states are not allowed to come and live in Denmark, a practice in breach of the bloc's freedom of movement principle.
The Danish parliament's ombudsman earlier in the summer announced an investigation into whether the Danish Immigration Service had misinformed individuals inquiring about regulations on the settling of foreign spouses in Denmark.
France as the current holder of EU's six-month rotating presidency is planning to push for a detailed debate on the common immigration rules for the 27-strong union, with a ministerial session on the issue expected in October.
More deaths at sea south of Malta
Paris is pressing for a so-called European Pact on Immigration and Asylum - an agreement setting out common EU guidelines for how to handle increasing numbers of migrants wanting to make their home in Europe.
In many cases, immigrants' struggle to plant their feet on the European soil has had terrible consequences: more than 70 individuals from Sudan and Eritrea, including a child and four pregnant women, are feared to have died in the waters south of Malta, the country's authorities reported on Thursday (28 August).
Earlier this week, a group of migrants detained at the southern Spanish port of Malaga spoke of having thrown overboard the bodies of 25 of their companions as their overcrowded boat drifted for days in the Mediterranean, according to media reports.

Teradek launch VidiU | Wireless HD Video encoder/streaming solution
January 14, 2013 Leave a comment
VidiU | Teradek, LLC | Wireless HD Video.
Teradek, makers of live streaming solutions like the Cube, Bond, Brik and Bolt have come out with a new Camera Top livestreaming encoder called VidiU.
To the best of my knowledge Teradek make the Livestream Broadcaster unit
and the VidiU has integrated Livestream and Ustream APIs which will allow you to stream directly to your respective Livestream/UStream channel. However it does use the generic RTMP interface so you can use it with several other streaming services too.
The unit appears slightly smaller than the Native Livestream equivalent, input is via HDMI. The device streams over dual MIMO WiFi, Ethernet or via single USB 3G/4G modem. The internal battery is rated to offer up to 90 mins wireless/powerless roaming use. Teradek have launched a companion App that cleverly connects to the VidiU encoder to offer realtime monitoring on your iPhone or iPad.
The device claims to encode in H264 (and AAc audio) at up to 5Mbps. Price advertised at $699 but you have to sign up for info on release date. Head over to the Teradek site for more info

Mercury opposite Pluto
Stand Firm in Your Own Mind
Perhaps this person was a jealous lover in a past life who attempted to gain control over you by influencing your mind and perceptions; perhaps they were simply your parent or teacher, with your best interests at heart. Either way, those old attempts at mind control will be felt again in this life when you get involved, albeit at a subtle level, and one you may not notice or understand at first. In the beginning, you may actually enjoy the way that you two communicate.
You'll go together to the depths, bypassing simple, surface-level conversation for something much more intense. It may seem at first like an incredible way to commune with this new person you're getting to know, even while growing to understand yourself more deeply than ever before; you may feel elated at baring your soul. But after some time, you may start to realize that the soul-baring is more one-sided than you thought; your lover is actually using you to give form and expression to all their own deepest, strangest, scariest thoughts and urges. What will you do then? Work harder to get your own emotions across and have them validated by this person who seems able only to obsess about their own issues? The 'when in doubt, force' mode of operation may not work best in this case. Instead, take the positive lessons you can get out of this connection -- the deepening of your thought processes, the self-awareness -- but stand firm in the knowledge of your own mind, thoughts, feelings and needs.

"I'm just not supposed to lose fat!"
"My metabolism is different", " I could never eat THAT much!", "I hold water".
As a coach, these things are repeated to me and a lot of my peers just about every day - everyone is a unique and delicate little flower, just like their mother told them.
Or are they?
Well, you are unique in your own little way. Your nose may not be like the next persons, your taste in clothes may be different and your hands look like no one else's, so in effect, yes you are different. You also may have a slightly different insulin sensitivity, or a greater or lesser genetic potential for muscle gain, but with all these details aside you still have the same physiological internal mechanisms to lose weigh. Sure, your metabolic rate may be a touch different to Jane who you speak to at Zumba, but the difference is small and is no way able to explain why she can drop 2-3lbs per week and you can't. So why is it then your weight is staying stagnant or you're possibly gaining weight?
A quick 101 on Energy balance
…This is important so bear with me.
"Energy balance" is the difference between your energy expenditure, (which is determined by your metabolic rate, daily activity and other things such as the thermic effect of food) and your energy intake (which is the food you put in your mouth and absorb). The difference between these two determines what happens to your body mass, whether it goes up or down or stays the same – energy can't disappear, so it has to be used or stored and that's about it. If you absorb more energy from food or liquids than the total energy you expend, the obvious happens and you gain weight; flip this over and the opposite will happen (eating less than you expend consistently will reduce body mass).
If your energy balance is even, your weight is maintained. Sure, different macronutrients can have different results in terms of what that weight is – muscle, fat, glycogen, all that good stuff - but this is a lengthy post for another blog. Here we are just talking about the energy balance equation as a whole and the resultant changes in your stored energy, hence, weight.
A lot of people attempt make this simple process of "Calories in vs Calories out" extremely confusing by talking about hormones or special foods or special exercise modalities which 'cheat the system' and some may even choose to denounce it entirely, but when we take a step back and look at the facts – the laws of thermodynamics (1) and thus the energy balance equation ALWAYS rings true.
A lot of approaches which deny the calories in/out equation apply trickery such as raising protein, but this simply serves to to increase the thermic effect of food slightly and also decrease hunger, ultimately meaning that you consume and absorb less energy than usual, potentially altering the energy balance equation.
This calorie in/out rule applies to everyone. If you are eating in a caloric deficit consistently over time then you should lose weight, but this raises a question - why do people still claim that when they eat a very low calorie diet, they still cant lose weight or they seem to gain some?
Factors in fat loss stalls
There could be many reasons but the main ones I'd like to discuss today are:
- Guilt and repeated lying to ones self about what food is actually being eaten
- Occasional binge-like behaviour which goes unreported
- Lack of experience and inability to track accurately
- Genuinely not realising when eating
- Blatant lying (which is doubtful, but it does happen)
…All seem to be main factors
I hear " I cant lose weight" or " I cant gain weight" so many times, that I do actually think people convince themselves that it's true and consider their goals impossible to reach – but this is not the case. Create a large enough calorie surplus, or calorie deficit, and something has to happen, end of story. It may not be fun being in a large calorie deficit, it might not be sustainable for ever, but body fat will be lost in times of calorie deficits. Look back to the survivors of the concentration camps, they were on low calories for long periods of time and there wasn't one over weight individual among them. So a person who claims they are gaining weight on low calorie diets fall into two categories.
- People who are gaining and storing obscene amounts of water due to a variety of reasons.
- People are just really bad at estimating calorie intakes vs energy expenditure, or choosing to convince themselves something else is happening, but still over consuming calories.
And it's often a combination of the two.
"So why is it then your weight is staying stagnant or you're possibly gaining weight?".
Under reporting
Studies show that when asking people to fill in what they think is an honest food diary, they underreport their food and over estimate the amount of calories they burn – even when they are shown how to do it correctly and even when they KNOW that they will be 'caught out' if they misreport. (2) So what this means is that when people compare their food intake to their energy expenditure, they'll tend to say that they eat very little and burn a lot; and be totally way off the mark. This means that the expected weight loss simply doesn't happen.
Ask someone to write down their food intake for the day and you run in to a lot of issue out of the gate; they can't remember exactly what they ate or the amounts they ate, and they only tend to remember the good foods they ate, and seem to 'forget' the bad. The few extra chocolates they had from the office box, the cake at a party, the milk and sugar in lattes, the spoon of coconut oil they put in coffee or over their healthy superfood salad ( because coconut oil burns fat right – Joke) all come down to under reporting what is actually being consumed. Watch this real life test that was carried out on underreporting.
Under the influence of alcohol, things become even worse, the food consumed and calories swallowed by alcohol all add up, and add up incredibly quick too, you know how it is when you have a beer and your mates drag you to the pizza shop after, I don't want to spoil your fun but it's easy to fold away 1000's of calories on a night out drinking and eating. Does that mean alcohol and socialising is off limits? Hell no, you can consume alcohol and get results if done properly, but this is more than id like to cover in this blog. More on this to come later.
So as you can see it makes it extremely difficult to track a person's food intake, especially if they are doing it at the end of the day. This is why, even though it's a huge pain to do (at least initially), meticulously tracking food intake DURING THE DAY for a few days or weeks can be an excellent learning tool to accurately quantify a person's food intake, providing it's done right and the person is educated on "how to" do so correctly. This should be done by getting a food scale and measuring cups/spoons then weighing and logging food at each meal. Sounds easy enough…well; it is in principle, but it actually isn't for most people. Part of the coaching process I use has a structure that shows my clients how to track easily and effectively, I educate them on foods, macronutrients and how to track, they don't have to track long term and we then move onto how to eat more intuitively if you don't have time to track all of the time or you eat out a lot and can't - which when done correctly has seen my clients getting some pretty "INSANE" results - without all the added stress and confusion.
When people who persistently swear up and down that they "Just don't eat that much food" actually sit down and track their intakes, I suddenly find that they are eating up to two or three times as much as we first thought, and I have seen this a number of times throughout my years of coaching. I've done it my self when I first started understanding and tracking foods many years ago, before all these fancy apps arrived on the market, I missed a full day logging foods leading up to a show and came to find at a later date, I was missing hundreds of calories – simply due to not being able to remember what I ate that day. If people who are familiar with tracking and understanding foods easily slip up, those who don't have the same amount of practice will understandably find it a very troublesome and frustrating task, but once you are shown how to track and understand nutrition from the ground level up, the results you have been waiting so long for, all come together (hopefully by now you are learning the ropes).
Sometimes, hormones are genuinely out of whack
When I have a client that presents no weight loss, when weight loss should be happening, hormonal issues could indeed be present – but this is not to say that the person can never reach their goals. Even those with hormonal issues can still lose weight, as mentioned earlier it is possible, just slower than you'd expect but it can still happen and we have to reinforce this as a coach that time is a virtue in some cases. If I feel that there are hormonal restraints impacting the coaching, its time to refer to an endocrinologist. Thyroid issues can indeed make fat loss harder, but it's still possible, and hormone replacement medication is extremely effective.
Ultimately, though, if a client doesn't lose weight on a low calorie intake, they are most probably eating more than you or they are aware of. Days where tracking food is not consistent can easily see a large increase in calories, simply because there is no thought or awareness involved. Calories pushed to one side such as binge eating at a weekend, or having a non-tracked day where (" they went a little over") can of course blow out a full week of good eating.
What to do next?
For the typical weight loss client, daily under-reporting, or under-reporting a few times throughout the week is much more likely to be the issue of why their results are slow or not happening at all, rather than the fact they have 'metabolic damage' or struggle to lose body fat. In these cases I ensure I ask the right questions which will depend on the person I have in front of me.
Is my client under-reporting on purpose or are they unknowingly tracking incorrectly?
If so, how often is this happening and do I need to use an accountability tool such as "Evernote" food diary, for ways that the client can take a picture of the food they consume, allowing me to see their portion sizes, choices and times and dates taken. That way I can get a true reading of what is served in front of them on a daily basis.
My fitness pal is a great tool to use, but there are so many flaws of use for someone who has only a basic understanding of food and tracking. For example, if you type "white rice" into My fitness pal, an uncooked 100g portion will give you 75g of useable carbs, accidentally click on "white rice that is cooked" and you will get only around 30g of carbs. This, in itself can be a real issue when under reporting, as you can see, the portion size has doubled. Some people are also 'selective' of which option they use, purposefully looking for the lowest value for a given food – they are tracking 'accurately', but only lying to themselves.
So long as this approach is fully explained to the client, tracking and understanding foods can be a fun and educational way of learning about what you eat, how to eat and how it makes you feel and perform.
If you are someone who wants to feel good, understand your own body, what foods to choose and how much to eat in order to look and feel great everyday, drop me an email as I am looking for two clients - dedicated clients who want to finally get results.

- Discrepancy between self-reported and actual caloric intake and exercise in obese subjects, 1992, Lichtman SW et al

It's not often as I wish it were, but every now and then I write poems. Here's one I've written some time ago, but thought about a lot recently. No great poetry. Just my feelings.
And in case you can't read my scrawl:
Love you – hate you – love you
do you or don't you
need you to love me, too
Alive in your presence
if you see the essence
of me
Afraid to love you
I try to abuse you
to drive you away
but I want you to stay
with me
as close as you can
hold me tight
If you love me,
I'm alright.

Review: Sleek Original i-Divine Palette
Sleek Says:
"The Original i-Divine palette contains a variety of highly-pigmented colours, ranging from green to purple, allowing you to create endless looks fit for day or night. The velvet-touch consistency gives full and shimmering coverage to the eye lid for maximum effect. Each of the 12 shades can be applied alone for a dramatic effect or mixed to create a personalised look."
Initial Thoughts:
The first time I used it I used this applicator and it wasn't bad, although I prefer my own brushes. The shadows are beautiful and the colour range is gorgeous. The black eyeshadow is matte the rest are shimmery (which I like but I would have liked a matte brown in there). In this FOTD I used the black and purple.
The packaging is sophisticated and modern, but still feels sturdy. Its very thin so its easy to travel with and contains a large mirror and applicator.
Further Investigation:
I used these eyeshadows on my mum and myself. She loves the two neutral brown shades. I'm matte girl at heart and I rarely use shimmery eyeshadow but these eyeshadows don't look glittery; they appear frosted and slightly 'wet' looking. Its a beautiful finish and really captures the light. They are highly pigmented and don't give off too much fall out. The colours are much more vibrant than they appear on camera and would suite most skin-tones.
Really good quality and value for money. An great product.
Where to buy?
You can purchase Sleek products on the Sleek Website or at Superdrug. As far as I know these are only available in the UK.
Would I repurchase?
YES!! I hope to try all the sleek palettes in this range.

"Living an hour away from my aging parents, I experienced sheer panic when my 80 year old mother told me about an unexpected visit from an unknown antique dealer and his partner. What I heard was nothing but a nonviolent home invasion by two criminals casing their next easy target for some type of scam or break-in. I quickly contacted Select. They immediately took control. Before nightfall Select identified the perpetrators, recommended a multilevel security plan, and worked in concert with local law enforcement to place my parents out of harm's way. Select recognized and acted upon my sense of urgency and desire to eliminate the imminent threat to my parents' well being. The professional, compassionate, and vigorous manner which my case was handled left a lasting impression upon my entire family. I am eternally grateful."
