In 1959 under the guidance of the Rev. Richard w. Alber the Congregation of Trinity Lutheran Church broke ground on the new suburban campus, commissioning the services of a prominent twentieth-century American Architect Harold E. Wagoner. Wagoner designed many iconic buildings such as Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church and the interior of the United States Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel. The cross tower is the center piece of the Wagoner design and is cherished not only by the church members but the community at large. The Indiana limestone clad tower soars 100 feet above the ground with a massive 45-foot-tall aluminum cross attached topping out at 125 feet.
The cross tower had a number of unique challenges. Access and safety were key for both the craftsman and the church parishioners. The tower was encompassed in scaffolding that towered some 100 feet into the East Grand Rapids sky. The removal of the failed limestone units reviled additional structural support was needed as a result of decades of water migration behind the panels. Strengthen of a encased steel beam was necessary directly under the large limestone circle on the upper west elevation. The engineering, design and installation of the repairs was handled accordingly, developing a safe and effective solution. From the early days of removing the two coats of paint to the final application of a clear breathable sealer, quality and craftsmanship were paramount. The commitment of the church to restore the iconic tower was apparent to all of the members of the construction team and was found to be infectious in nature. Words used like commitment and quality best describe the results achieved in the restoration of this significant monument.

Create a one minute video for a national hummus brand in four weeks. The spot had to appeal to the 18-35 year old female demographic. This project was produced by Genius Rocket Select (now Genius Rocket). The Genius Rocket model is curated crowdsourcing: briefs are sent out, creators write a brief description of what they would do, and then move through paid stages of creation, ultimately getting weeded down to one final project. Due to their NDA, they couldn't disclose the name of the brand until the third stage–which presented an interesting challenge. The video had to be fun, unique, and fit into the company's facebook and youtube strategies, but without knowing the company's branding, we had to make something that the client could customize to their needs.
Because the exact brand and its attributes were unknown, we had to focus on the narrative and create an engaging story that kept audiences watching until the end for the company's name. This meant pulling out all the stops on storytelling and upping the "wow" factor. For the demographic–18 to 35 females–we decided to play to our strengths: animation, puppetry, and rapid live action filming. We decided to do a Zoey Deschanel meets Sesame Street sensibility. A smart, hip young woman with puppet friends. Once the script and storyboards were approved, we were able to drop in a seasoned production team of fabricators, musicians, actors, and videographers that turned a three week timeline into successful video. Throughout the production, we were in contact with the brand, and they made suggestions to the content and scenes to create something that was perfect for their audience. As a final challenge, we did not have access to anything more than the brand logo. All lockups and physical products had to be recreated by us based on examples found on the web (product was not offered in our state and the timeline was too short to get product sent to us).
Client Feedback: "This one is Weird. If it were REALLY weird, but really fun, I think it could be GREAT."
Like: "cutesy, potential weirdness."
Push: "needs a humourous/weird/naughty edge..? Can the pita chip be her "inner voice" that helps her keep it real?"
The client–Athenos Hummus–used this video to kickoff their initial Facebook launch and overall campaign. As a web only launch, the client paid a fraction of what they would have if they did a traditional national television campaign. While a basic tv spot can cost $100,000 or more, this project was less than 20% of that cost at a final budget of $18,000. With it's funny premise and catchy song, it attracted a lot of viewers, comments, and helped them make a splash in a crowded market place.
Views from first 6 months of launch: 4,500
Total views: 10,000+
In Summary:
We can take what seems impossible–short deadlines, puppets, mystery brand–and create a vibrant and original video.

Artist's description:
Taking at dusk on the north coast of Ireland at the mythical Giants Causeway.
According to legend, the columns are the remains of a causeway built by a giant. The story goes that the Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn MacCool), from the Fenian Cycle of Gaelic mythology, was challenged to a fight by the Scottish giant Benandonner. Fionn accepted the challenge and built the causeway across the North Channel so that the two giants could meet. Fionn hides from Benandonner when he realises that his foe is much bigger than he. Fionn's wife, Oonagh, disguises Fionn as a baby and tucks him in a cradle. When Benandonner sees the size of the 'baby', he reckons that its father, Fionn, must be a giant among giants. He flees back to Scotland in fright, destroying the causeway behind him so that Fionn could not follow. Across the sea, there are identical basalt columns.

What we humans do now might help us in dominating nature, but, in the end, it will not help us in conquering the universe. That needs an understanding of reality, not a fabricated concoction of a little bit of this and a little bit of that. No, it needs the whole enchilada.
FSD [Full Spectrum Domination]? Yeah, in a kinky whorehouse, in the right setting. Not this planet, not now or during my lifetime.

"His Voice"
It's hard to believe that a year ago my life changed…in more than one way. Not only did I find out that I'm an abortion survivor, but I realized that God had different plans than I had for my life. It was for the better, don't get me wrong, but I could NEVER have planned for it.
It has given me a voice for my twin and the millions of babies that have been silenced. The things in my life that didn't make sense before all of sudden held a significant meaning…I found out I had a brother which made sense of the longing I had for a brother (and confusion) as a child. (It's been comforting to know that he's in heaven with his creator and I will see him again and the day that we were torn apart in the womb will be a celebration for all the lives that have been saved because of this story! ) This year has been my biggest blessing. Something that was meant to completely harm me and meant for evil has given me a story of God's faithfulness and made me truly believe that Christ is the Solid Rock I stand on. He has given me opportunity upon opportunity to share my story with thousands of people so that when He comes, this world will be a world of LIFE. Jesus was not only victorious through my birth but he is and will be victorious when He comes again. He will say "well done, my good and faithful servants," because we believe in and defend LIFE- his creation! MY LIFE AND MY SUFFERINGS ARE NOT A CURSE….. GOD'S PLAN WAS BIGGER
Through all of this He has brought me to my knees, told me to let go of all my pride and put me in a situation where I could no longer rely on my own strengths and abilities but have to completely submit to his plan. His plan proved to be greater than I could ever have "planned" because thousands of lives can NOT be touched single-handedly; only through the hands and feet of Jesus.
He let me be his hands and feet. I will never know why but I am so humbled.
Through the past year, God has touched people's lives all over the country through this God-given story of his grace, mercy and love. People are attracted to my story because they realize they are not the only ones that are broken. They realize that God is the only way to make sense of all the brokenness in this world. I've been able to share my experiences, my brokenness, and my sufferings with the world but ultimately I've been able to express my need for a merciful God. Without it, I would not be where I am today.
Last year THIS MONTH, I was called out of my comfort zone to go on stage, in front of crowds of people and talk about one of the most offensive, controversial and scariest subjects in this day and age. I was called to let ME go and serve others every day of my life. Today I am still the same average girl; I am just letting God use me. It's amazing what God can do with one small person who is willing to be used. I am so grateful and humbled that he CHOSE ME to use in such an amazing way- defending his most sacred creation: LIFE.
THANK you to everyone who has supported me through the past year. I am in awe of all the people God has placed in my life along the way. He was always faithful and so were my wonderful friends and supporters. God has used each of you and God will surely bless you. I hope that you will join me next year and the years to come in standing up for women, men and their families because LIFE is worth it.
Many Blessings to each of you this Thanksgiving Holiday. I am truly THANKFUL!
This Thanksgiving I will be celebrating the separation of my twin and I, and that one day we will meet again…..but until then, I will remain "His Voice."

I am passionate about life & God in a down-to-earth & personal way.

Please advise if this chair has soft wheels. Our office has wooden floors and all our chairs need to have soft wheels
The Office Fitness ball chairs have hard wheels so possibly they are no good for wooden floors
Does the ball have a slow deflate if punctured? Have heard some stories of eventually the ball going pop and dropping to the floow - but some balls have support which allows a slow deflate which is obviously safer. Could you confirm?
The Office Fitness Balls are anti-burst quality which is strongly recommended for maximum safety. Staples, pins or large clawed pets may unexpectedly pierce your ball. Anti-Burst rated balls deflate slowly and safely when punctured, rather than bursting suddenly like a balloon with you landing on your back as occurs with non Anti-Burst balls. We offer only authentic, high quality Anti-Burst balls for your maximum safety and optimal comfort.
QA Testing...........................
Once the ball is inflated, what is the typical sitting height (i.e. bum to floor distance)? Just wondering if this will be adequate for my office desk at home or whether my keyboard will be at eye-level instead!
The standard ball chair is 23 inches seat height ( floor to top of ball). We also offer ball chair height adjusters ( sold separately) which add an additional 2" of height.
I know that ---------- University have these type of chairs in there sports department. As a sport therapist and acupuncturist I know the benefits of this type of chair and I have been advising these to staff. However I now want to have solid proof they work and do the job.
Solid proof is a tricky question and I would shy away from giving an answer that suggests there is solid evidence. As far as I know no studies have been conducted specifically relating to ball chairs although several have been done on swiss balls.
All I can offer is anecdotal evidence based on customer feedback that it a) addresses long standing back issues ( even though we do not sell these as a curative measure) and b) it promotes enhanced core stability
We regularly attend national shows visited by physios, chiropractors and osteopaths and frequently they cite ball chairs and swiss balls as being more beneficial than £1000+ ergonomic chairs designed for back sufferers.
The principal advantages of our chair over the swiss ball is the smaller footprint, the fact that it's on wheels ( and so you can move more easily round your work area) and that is slightly more conventional looking ( although still pretty radical for many offices)
Can the ball be removed and used separately as a normal balance ball?
Yes it definitely can be removed and used separately. You can just pull up on the ball to remove it. Then you just push it back on the chair to replace it. There is a retention bar on the chair in front which holds the ball in place but also allows you to pull the ball off and push the ball back on.
Are the Ball Chair Height Adjsuters included with ball chair?
No, they are sold separately.
Does it come with the ball?
Yes. It comes with a 48cm ball. It might seem too small when you first inflate it but that's because the ball needs to stretch and relax. Pump it up then let it sit over night and finish inflating it in the morning.
Can you give the rough height of the Adjustable ball chair - from base to the top of the ball?
The height is 23 inches
"I to go to the same expo's as a therapist and I know the benefits and I've been look at evidence not just in the UK. The general rule is back rest or no back rest. For me no back rest has far more benefits as you are "active" sitting the muscles in your back and abs are constantly adjusting to hold that perfect position. I tend to think that while a back rest is nice it does allow you to tilt and slouch thereby reducing the effectiveness of the ball chair. Your thoughts on this would be interesting as I like to get another few point."
"In general we would say no backrest is best as that is closest to the underlying concept of needing to engage core stability muscles
The backrests are primarily there to provide relief, i,e leaning back for a few seconds rather than prolonged usage. As they are more conventional looking many firms go for these particularly as they are compliant with ergonomic requirements for adjustability. If the user is of reasonable health though, with no chronic back issues, I would say the no backrest model is fine in the majority of cases"

Awesome Chair !!!!Review by Kate Stevenson / (Posted on 21/12/2017)When I received the box I was super excited to put it together. Since I was eager I didn't wait for my husband to install it. I thought it was going to be hard for me but it wasn't. Maybe it took around 10 minutes. Everything you needed to start using this chair is in the box, including the pump for the ball. The ball chair has got locking wheels on the back. I feel that I sit straighter on this chair. Fast shipping, I received it within 2 days of purchase. Thank you and I would recommend to anyone looking for a ball chair!

What a revelationReview by Alan / (Posted on 16/12/2017)I enjoy everything about this chair. I found it in the midst of a 5-week period of acute back pain.
Someone recommended a swiss ball to sit on as sitting was impossible with my problem being in the sacrum.
Sitting on the swiss ball changed my world and enabled me to carry on with my job. The only thing was its not the most practical of seats when trying to move around a busy office. I couldn't believe it when I came accross this. I'm on it everyday at work, the back support is great - I have mine right forward. It gets a lot of comments, people are so amused. I pumped too much air into it at first so it was too hard to sit on, after releasing some air though I couldn't be happier.

Good for people with coccyx and lower back pain!Review by MousieTongue's KM / (Posted on 09/11/2017)This chair is surprisingly comfortable, and has alleviated a great deal of my lower back pain and coccyx pain. It is easy to assemble, and reasonably sturdy. I've had a couple of physios recommend sitting on a Swiss ball instead of an office chair, but didn't find this a very practical option because a) my back still seemed to have a tendency to slump, even while sitting on the ball and b) the only way to move the ball is to roll it - in which case you have to stop sitting on it, or you'll roll off. With an office chair, you really want to just be able to push it whereever you want it to be. This design, having a back rest and casters, avoids those two problems, and I find it much better than a normal chair for sitting in
I'm giving it four stars rather than 5 because:
- the only way to adjust the seat height is to inflate the ball to a greater or lesser extent. I seem to be lucky in that the combined seat-ball height seems to be perfect for my desk / arm / leg length anyway, but I can see that if I were a different height (specifically, I am 5'2"), this might be a problem.
- the back rest is extremely difficult to adjust - very tight, and wants to spring back into place with great force. I needed my husband to hold it in place while I locked it, and even then we struggled. So, I really doubt that anyone could adjust the back rest while actually sitting on the chair. Which means that you just have to adjust and readjust by trial and error, and hope that you eventually get it right (I did in just three tries - hurrah!)
- I wonder how much of the benefit of sitting on a Swiss ball, in terms of toning your core muscles, is lost by having it on this stable platform? Yes, the chair is much more comfortable (at least, I find it to be so), but the reason physios recommend Swiss balls for sitting is that the instability means you have to work your core muscles. I'm not sure much core-toning is going on with this ball-chair, although they do make the claim in the product description. I don't know what kind of clinical evidence they have to back this up.
Despite the above, I still recommend this chair to anyone who finds it painful to sit in a normal office chair for extended periods - it is much more comfortable than any other chair I have tried (apart from a reclining stuffed easy chair, which isn't very practical for office work! :) )

Officers were called by bank workers at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 21, after a woman described as a black female in her early 40's attempted to cash checks on what turned out to be a closed account. A bank employee asked the woman for identification and the woman promptly fled the bank.
Minutes after the Mountain Lakes incident, personnel at a Parsippany bank reported to police a similar attempt had been made at their branch. A comparison of surveillance photos showed the person was the same individual who had tried to cash checks in the Mountain Lakes bank.
Detectives are continuing to investigate the incident.

Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, Inc., Buffalo, N. Y.
Previous studies of shock reflection from open-ended duct configurations indicate that a steady discharge is not instantaneously formed and that the effects of this lag may occasionally be important. A theory is available which satisfactorily describes the lag effects in subcritical flow, but its validity for supercritical flow has not previously been verified. Shock-tube experiments are therefore carried out to study the lag effects in supercritical flow from a sharp-edged orifice. The incident shock wave either modifies an initial supercritical discharge, or establishes such a discharge with the gas initially being at rest. Schlieren photographs show a violent transition of the flow downstream of the orifice that lasts several milliseconds. Pressure records taken inside the duct indicate a small, but distinct, pressure rise that also lasts for several milliseconds following the passage of the reflected shock wave. It is shown that this apparent agreement of the transition times is accidental. A method is described to evaluate the effect of boundary-layer growth on the pressure behind the reflected shock wave, and the results indicate that the entire observed pressure rise is accounted for by this effect. Consequently, flow adjustment in the orifice may be considered as instantaneous for all practical purposes.

This is the story of my life as a SAHM to a deaf-blind former 24 week preemie. Isolating, frustrating, heartbreaking, and so worth it.
Tuesday, July 24, 2007
You know you have a vision impairment when...
This morning we met our OT at the park to work on our goals of "walking on uneven surfaces" and "going up and down steps". Noah walked on blacktop, grass, pebbles and mulch and didn't fall down once. That's a huge improvement! He was hesitant about steps but we helped him go through the motions. Out OT says that it's not that he can't do it, but because he can't tell the difference between a color change on the sidewalk and a huge step he gets scared. She said that once he feels comfortable with steps it'll just be a matter of having someone with him to cue him the first time he goes someplace. Anyway, there was pink neon caution tape keeping cars from going back to the playground area. We lifted the first tape for Noah to go under but by the time we got to the second tape Noah was running a few steps ahead. He ran right smack into the tape. Of course it didn't hurt him, but we were laughing because we had just been talking about how nice that the tape was bright enough for Noah to see it. I guess not.

The Knesset's Immigration, Absorption and Public Diplomacy Committee will hold a hearing on the activities of left-wing American lobby J Street as early as next week, committee chairman Danny Danon (Likud) said Wednesday.
The Knesset plenum voted Wednesday in favor of holding a hearing on the group's activities at the conclusion of a debate on the subject sponsored by MK Otniel Schneller (Kadima).
Danon said that he plans to invite the MKs who participated in the J Street annual conference in late February, as well as Kadima chairwoman Tzipi Livni, to testify before the committee.
MK Danon…… Danny…… I love ya Bro, but don't "invite" these folks. Send 'em subpoenas, drag 'em to the committee chambers in chains. They're assisting in a pending genocide of our people and they need to be held accountable to the highest level.
As for the people at J-Street, especially the big money sources…… I'm filled with anticipation that the Mossad is quite possibly calling in their passport people.

David L. Bronson, MD, FACP; Kathleen S. Franco, MD, FACP
Does exercise training reduce anxiety in patients with chronic illness? Which features of exercise interventions are associated with reduced anxiety?
Included studies compared exercise interventions lasting ≥ 3 weeks with a nonexercise option in adults who had a chronic illness and were sedentary. Studies had to measure anxiety at baseline and after exercise interventions. Exclusion criteria were multicomponent interventions if the additional components were not included in the comparison group, education or promotion interventions that did not show increased physical activity, active comparators (e.g., medication, cognitive behavioral therapy, or other exercise interventions) if compared with exercise alone, and use of phobia-specific anxiety outcomes.
MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Google Scholar, and Web of Science (all to Dec 2008), and the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans Scientific Database (1995 to Aug 2007) were searched for English-language randomized controlled trials (RCTs). 40 RCTs (n = 2914, 75 comparisons, mean age 50 y, mean 59% women) met the selection criteria. Various exercise interventions were used (mean duration 16 wk, mean 3 sessions/wk, mean 42 min/session).
Pooled data showed that exercise interventions reduced anxiety (Table). Planned comparisons showed that shorter interventions (3 to 12 wk), longer training sessions (> 30 min), and evaluation of anxiety recalled over > 1 week were associated with greater reductions in anxiety (Table).
Exercise interventions reduce anxiety in patients with chronic illness. Benefits are greatest with interventions lasting 3 to 12 weeks and exercise sessions > 30 minutes in duration.
Exercise training vs no exercise training for anxiety symptoms in chronic illness
*For 40 trials including 2914 patients. Number of patients included in some comparisons exceeds the total number of patients for all studies because some studies had multiple comparisons.
†Effect size for exercise training vs no exercise training. Positive effect size indicates decreased anxiety with exercise training. Effect size (difference between exercise and no exercise groups in mean score change divided by the pooled standard deviation of baseline scores) calculated using a random-effects model.

One of the places not only in India, but also in the entire world that showed the real extravagance of life and redefined the world "luxury" during the Nizam Rule. The history that this place holds has a very significant part to play in our country.
Since we have only one day in our hands its good to make the most of it. So lets be early birds and start off in the early mornings.
Kasu Brahmananda Reddy Park (KBR Park)
This is definitely one place where you won't regret waking up early! This 11 acre widespread area is the abode of rich flora and fauna. With a fresh air and rejuvenating nature all along this place would give the perfect start for an exciting day.
Breakfast : @Chutney's
Roaming around the park sure must have made you tired. The breakfast at Chutney's sure sure does puts a smile on your face. Its not just the food, the whole experience of this place is juts wow.
Ram Ki Bindi
This almost takes 40 min to travel from KRB park, but we are pretty sure its absolutely worth it. This is one place that you shouldn't miss when it comes to food in Hyderabad. This street shop is known for its delicious dosa they make.
If anyone is visiting Hyderabad its mandatory to drop down the Charminar. Its an Indo-Islamic architectural masterpiece. Holding a lot of history in it this one is nothing less than a feast for our eyes. Might be a sad news for boys and men out there(Pun intended), there are ton of jewelry shops near the Charminar. Ladies let the hunt begin!
Chaowmahalla Palace
Its a place in Hyderabad that attracts a lot of tourists. The magnificence and the architectural extravagance of the beauty will definitely create a jaw dropping moment. It will be a miracle if it doesn't, coz' how do you expect the residence of the Nizam would be??
They also have huge collection of paintings, books and manuscripts. Some of the richest possessions of the royal family are also exhibited
Salar Jung Museum
If you are person who is into the rich history and heritage of our country this exactly the place where you should be. Numerous exhibits not just Indian, but also European, Middle East and other country elevates the element of elegance to this place. The exhibits comprises of armours of soldiers, metal wears , weapons, brass utensils, stone carvings, sculptures,textile prints, manuscripts and various other objects with great historic value.Veiled Rebecca made with Italian Marble is one the major attractions of this place.
The best thing about Andhra/Telangana is the food that these states offer. Whether its veg or non-veg it really doesn't matter. Each one exceptional in its own way.
We are not an exception when its comes to food in Hyderabad, so not going to suggest anything new. Hands down Hyderabadi Briyani. One of the greatest contribution of the Nizams to the culinary world.Everyone knows that Paradise serves great Hyderabadi Biryani, but Bawarchi and Bahar are also other restaurants that will exceed your levels of expectations.
Minerva Coffee Shop
If you are a person who prefers vegetarian this should be your choice. The place offers some delicious food. You have a lot of choices to choose from the diverse range of cuisines. But particularly Andhra meals is something that everyone opts for.
Lumbimi Park
After delicious and a whole some lunch its really very difficult to move around, Coz' definitely your tummies will be fully loaded. With sun slightly going down and scorching heat dropping a little bit, this is the perfect time to stretch your legs and ease out a bit. The soothing environment sure does gives a sense of relaxation. This place also has lot of rides, water parks and other entities that would make it fun filled.
Birla Temple
This place is not just a tourist attraction, something more than that. A place which could take you closer to your divine side. This religious spot has a lot special elements that makes it unique in many ways. The architecture is a blend of Nagra and South Indian style. The entire is built of white marble from Rajasthan. The captivating view of the Birla temple during the is at it best when its all decked up with all the lights.
Buddha Statue
The location of the statue is totally enough for anyone to make a trip here. An element that seals the deal.Located in the center of the artificially created Hussain Sagar lake. You really don't need to follow Buddhism to experience the piece that the religion preaches, just a visit to this place is all it takes to experience it. This is the tallest Buddha statue in the world. The sight of the place during the nights is something that cannot be explained in words.

Adonijah Makes Himself King
King David was now very old. He couldn't keep warm even when blankets were spread over him.
So his servants spoke to him. They said, "You are our king and master. Please let us try to find a young virgin to help you. She can take care of you. She can lie down beside you. Then you can keep warm."
So David's servants looked all over Israel for a beautiful young woman. They found Abishag. She was from the town of Shunem. They brought her to the king.
The woman was very beautiful. She took care of the king and served him. But the king didn't have sex with her.
Adonijah was the son of David and his wife Haggith. He came forward and announced, "I'm going to be the next king." So he got chariots and horses ready. He also got 50 men to run in front of him.
His father had never tried to stop him from doing what he wanted to. His father had never asked him, "Why are you acting the way you do?" Adonijah was also very handsome. Now that Absalom was dead, Adonijah was David's oldest son.
Adonijah talked things over with Joab, the son of Zeruiah. He also talked with the priest Abiathar. They agreed to help him.
But the priest Zadok and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, didn't join Adonijah. The prophet Nathan didn't join him. Shimei and Rei didn't join him. And neither did David's special guard.
Adonijah sacrificed sheep, cattle and fat calves. He sacrificed them at the Stone of Zoheleth near En Rogel. He invited all of his brothers, the king's sons, and all of the men of Judah who were royal officials.
But he didn't invite Benaiah or the prophet Nathan. He didn't invite the special guard or his brother Solomon either.
Nathan spoke to Solomon's mother Bathsheba. He asked, "Haven't you heard? Adonijah, the son of Haggith, has made himself king. And King David doesn't even know about it.
"So let me tell you what to do to save your life. It will also save the life of your son Solomon.
Go in and see King David. Say to him, 'You are my king and master. You took an oath. You promised me, "You can be sure that your son Solomon will be king after me. He will sit on my throne." If that's really true, why has Adonijah become king?'
"While you are still talking to the king, I'll come in. I'll tell him that what you have said is true."
So Bathsheba went to see the old king in his room. Abishag, the Shunammite, was taking care of him there.
Bathsheba bowed low. She got down on her knees in front of the king. "What do you want?" the king asked.
She said to him, "My master, you took an oath in the name of the Lord your God. You promised me, 'Your son Solomon will be king after me. He will sit on my throne.'
"But now Adonijah has made himself king. And you don't even know about it.
He has sacrificed large numbers of cattle, fat calves and sheep. He has invited all of the king's sons. He has also invited the priest Abiathar and Joab, the commander of the army. But he hasn't invited your son Solomon.
"You are my king and master. All of the people of Israel are watching to see what you will do. They want to find out from you who will sit on the throne after you.
If you don't do something, I and my son Solomon will be treated like people who have committed crimes. That will happen as soon as you join the members of your family who have already died."
While she was still speaking with the king, the prophet Nathan arrived.
The king was told, "The prophet Nathan is here." So Nathan went to the king. He bowed down with his face toward the ground.
Nathan said, "You are my king and master. Have you announced that Adonijah will be king after you? Have you said he will sit on your throne?
Today he has gone down outside the city. He has sacrificed large numbers of cattle, fat calves and sheep. He has invited all of the king's sons. He has also invited the commanders of the army and the priest Abiathar. Even now they are eating and drinking with him. They are saying, 'May King Adonijah live a long time!'
"But he didn't invite me. He didn't invite the priest Zadok or Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada. He didn't invite your son Solomon either.
"King David, have you allowed all of that to happen? Did you do it without letting us know about it? Why didn't you tell us who is going to sit on your throne after you?"
David Makes Solomon King
King David said, "Tell Bathsheba to come in." So she came and stood in front of the king.
Then the king took an oath and made a promise. He said, "The Lord has saved me from all of my troubles. You can be sure that he lives.
And you can be just as sure that I will do today what I promised in the name of the Lord. He is the God of Israel. I promised you that your son Solomon would be king after me. He will sit on my throne in my place."
Then Bathsheba bowed low with her face toward the ground. She got down on her knees in front of the king. She said, "King David, you are my master. May you live forever!"
King David said, "Tell the priest Zadok and the prophet Nathan to come in. Also tell Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, to come." So they came to the king.
He said to them, "Take my officials with you. Put my son Solomon on my own mule. Take him down to the Gihon spring.
Have the priest Zadok and the prophet Nathan anoint him as king over Israel there. Blow a trumpet. Shout, 'May King Solomon live a long time!'
Then come back up to the city with him. Have him sit on my throne. He will rule in my place. I've appointed him ruler over Israel and Judah."
Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, answered the king. "Amen!" he said. "May the Lord your God make it come true.
You are my king and master. The Lord has been with you. May he also be with Solomon. King David, may the Lord make Solomon's kingdom even greater than yours!"
So the priest Zadok and the prophet Nathan left the palace. Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, went with them. So did the Kerethites and Pelethites. They put Solomon on King David's mule. And they brought him down to the Gihon spring.
The priest Zadok had gotten an animal horn that was filled with olive oil. He had taken it from the sacred tent. He anointed Solomon with the oil. The trumpet was blown. All of the people shouted, "May King Solomon live a long time!"
Then they went up toward the city. Solomon was leading the way. The people were playing flutes. They were filled with great joy. The ground shook because of all of the noise.
Adonijah and all of his guests heard it. They were just finishing their meal. Joab heard the sound of the trumpet. So he asked, "What does all of that noise in the city mean?"
While Joab was still speaking, Jonathan arrived. Jonathan was the son of the priest Abiathar. Adonijah said, "Come in. I have respect for you. You must be bringing good news."
"No! I'm not!" Jonathan answered. "Our master King David has made Solomon king.
David sent the priest Zadok and the prophet Nathan along with Solomon. He also sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, with him. He sent the Kerethites and Pelethites with him too. They put him on the king's mule.
They took him down to the Gihon spring. There the priest Zadok and the prophet Nathan anointed him as king. Now they've gone back up to the city. They were cheering all the way. The city is filled with the sound of it. That's the noise you hear.
"And that's not all. Solomon has taken his seat on the royal throne.
The royal officials came to give their blessing to our master King David. They said, 'May your God make Solomon's name more famous than yours! May he make Solomon's kingdom greater than yours!' "While King David was sitting on his bed, he bowed in worship.
He said, 'I praise the Lord. He is the God of Israel. He has let me live to see my son sitting on my throne today as the next king.' "
When all of Adonijah's guests heard that, they were terrified. So they got up and scattered.
Adonijah was afraid of what Solomon might do to him. So he went and grabbed hold of the horns that stuck out from the upper corners of the altar for burnt offerings.
Then Solomon was told, "King Solomon, Adonijah is afraid of you. He's holding onto the horns of the altar. He says, 'I want King Solomon to take an oath today. I want him to promise that he won't kill me with his sword.' "
Solomon replied, "Let him show that he's a man people can respect. Then not even one hair on his head will fall to the ground. But if I find out he's done something evil, he will die."
King Solomon got some men to bring Adonijah down from the altar. He came and bowed down to King Solomon. Solomon said, "Go on home."

Central Indian Railway-魔界骑士イングリッド
Travel-and-Leisure The central Indian Railways has its headquarters in Mumbai and was established on 5th November 1951.The divisions that the central Indian Railways include are Mumbai, Bhusawal, Pune, Nagpur and solapur. The Central Railway is possibly the very old railway zone of Indian Railways. This is one of the largest of the sixteen zones divided by Indian Railways. Central Railway also boasts of the foremost passenger railway line in India that linked Bombay with Thane. Central Railway has its head office at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus just before Victoria Terminus in Mumbai. Mumbai, Pune, Solapur, Kolhapur and Bhusawal are a few of the most important cities that fall under the list of Central Railway zone. Central Railway covers up the chief part of Maharashtra, southern part of Madhya Pradesh and north-east part of Karnataka. The Central Railway zone is further prearranged into five sections that are Mumbai CST, Bhusawal, Nagpur, Solapur and Pune. On Nov' 5 1951, The so called Central Railway was recognized by merging several government possessed railways, jointly with the Great Indian Peninsula Railway and the Scindia State Railway. Previousy, Central Railway Zone also had northern Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh and southern part of Uttar Pradesh. Due to its broad region exposure, CR was the leading railway zone having greatest track mileage and employees. Nevertheless, these areas were passed away to the West Central Railway zone in April 2003 for improved and superior .anization. Central Railway Zone is also distinguished for its Matheran Line, which links Neral with the enthralling hill station of Matheran in the Western Ghats, on the Mumbai-Pune main track. Deccan Queen, Punjab Mail, Gitanjali Express, Hussain Sagar Express and Pushpak Express are a quantity of of the notable trains that run under the administration of the Central Railway. From the date 1st April 2003, after the restructuring of zonal railways, Central Railway is a system of 3832 route kilometers and 5818 track kilometers linking 476 stations in the region of 5 divisions straddling across the states of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Karnataka and take an active part in the development and advancement of the nation as a transporter of traveler and cargo traffic. Central Railway is the leading passenger carrying system in the middle of all Indian Railways. It takes over 4 lakh passengers every day to each nook and corners of the country trough the passenger trains. Mumbai uptown train system is the support system of this metropolitan area where 3 million travelers travel every day in 1236 local trains moving through 73 stations.

Happy freakin' birthday, Tom! 55 and still going strong!
I've been busy working on my review for Tom Cruise's latest film, The Mummy, but in kindness, I think I'll respectfully delay that one until after his birthday. Instead, let's spend this day focusing on the good! Today I'm just going to write a little bit about why I like Tom Cruise so much and what he means to me.
Those of you who have followed me for a while know I'm a huge Tom Cruise fan. He's arguably the most famous movie star the world has ever known. While his reputation and popularity have waned a little over the last decade, particularly in America, he is still one of the most revered and recognizable actors across the globe.
Regardless of how others might feel about him, I still consider Tom to be one of the most entertaining actors to watch. Look at any one of his films and it's easy to see the great lengths he goes to for our enjoyment. He's clearly a very passionate, dedicated, and hard-working actor, and he looks like he's still having the time of his life every time he's on screen.
I don't quite recall my first Tom Cruise movie. It may have been The Outsiders, if I can even count that. Surely I had seen bits and pieces of some of his earlier films growing up, from movies like A Few Good Men and Rain Man to Days of Thunder and Top Gun. However, it wasn't until later in my teenage years that I really got to know and appreciate the work of Tom Cruise.
The first Tom Cruise movie I ever saw in theaters (and from beginning to end) was Mission: Impossible II. After watching it, I thought Tom Cruise was just the coolest guy I had ever seen. The movie blew me away. It was so stylish and cool! My older brothers scoffed at some of the motorcycle stunts, but I was really into it. Mission: Impossible II was actually the very last film I ever got on VHS and believe me, I watched the heck out of that thing. Plus I should probably mention that Tom Cruise's hair in the movie is my personal go-to desired hair style. Maybe that's a little weird, but the dude has some undeniably great hair…
As I got older, I became more acquainted with Tom Cruise's other movies and always looked forward to anything new he had coming out. Even as so much of the world has turned against him (usually for bogus reasons), I've always maintained my loyalty to the guy that for me is the very definition of what it means to be "cool".
Happy birthday, Tom! I hope you're living the day to the fullest, just like I know you always do!

Emory University Gnotobiotic Animal Facility
Introduction: The Emory University Gnotobiotic Animal Facility is located in the newly constructed five-story, 200,000-square-foot Health Sciences Research Building (HSRB), situated in rooms next to the Specific Pathogen Free (MPF) murine housing, as well as the Transgenic Mouse and Gene Targeting Core. The facility contains a number of 3' foot wide rigid isolators (Parkbio), each with the capacity to house 16 mice cages each. Class II biological cabinets are available to investigators for experimental use. In addition, the facility has a Tecniplast ISOcageP Bioexclusion system. These are airtight individual mouse cages with high positive pressure that are specifically designed for cage-scale germ-free, gnotobiotic and bioexclusion studies.
Animal welfare: The facility is run under Emory University's IACUC approved Standard Operating Procedures which oversees and certifies that care and use of the animals is ethical and humane. The IACUC oversight is implemented by an ongoing review and approval of the facility by way of written animal use protocols submitted for review by IACUC committee members. Investigators wishing to use the facility will submit an amendment to their IACUC by attaching the SOP for the Gnotobiotic Animal Facility, and a description of the specific procedure they wish to undertake within the facility.
Murine strains bred and held within the facility: The facility currently has breeding colonies of germ-free C57BL/6J, and of with colonized with Altered Schaedler Flora (ASF) colonized C57BL/6J. Germ-free and ASF C57BL/6J mice are available for purchase from the facility.
Transferring new mouse strains into the facility: Currently, we accept re-derived germ-free mice from approved vendors. Mice must be shipped in approved transporters. Mice are transferred into newly set up isolators, and kept as the only genotype in said isolator for 4 weeks, and monitored weekly for germ-free status.
Transferring animals from the facility to laboratories within Emory University: Investigators will be responsible for transportation mice from the HSRB to other research buildings within Emory. Transport procedures are outlined in the IACUC website. Please contact the Gnotobiotic facility director or staff if you require further information regarding transport.
Specialized diets: We have the capacity to rear mice on germ-free specialized diets including high fat diets or diets fortified with supplements.
Microbiological Testing: Rigorous microbiological testing is conducted on all autoclaved material entering the isolators, including the food, water and bedding. We also regularly monitor germ-free mice within isolators and periodic control necropsies. Our tests include 1) real time quantitative PCR amplification of the V4 region 16S rRNA gene, 2) plating of fecal samples on BBL Brain Heart infusion with 10% Sheep Blood plates (nonselective controls for all strains) and incubation at 37ºC for 7 days, 3) Incubation in Thioglycollate medium with indicator, a medium used for the isolation and cultivation of aerobes, anaerobes and microaerophiles that are not excessively fastidious, and 4) Gram stain, which is a general visual examination for the presence of bacteria, and distinguishes between Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms.
Contact Information: For investigators wishing to employ the services, or wishing to acquire germ-free or ASF gnotobiotic mice, please contact the facility director, Dr Rheinallt Jones email@example.com. In the email, please describe your purchase (germ-free or ASF, age etc.), or your gnotobiotic project requirements. Thereafter we will set a meeting with you to facilitate your request.
Park Bioservices LLC, Flexible Front Isolators offer the highest level of biological security for germ-free housing of gnotobiotic mice.

March 23rd, 2013. Amazing Home Designs, Amazing Holiday Contemporary House Design in Tutukaka.
I believe that everybody love to have a great contemporary house design for holiday and escaping from busy city and hectic day. I do want it, which is why I built a house for that purposes. I want a house that can be the perfect place to spend my holiday with my lovely family and far from the noisy city. I have found a great location to actualize my dream in Tutukaka, the northland of New Zealand. But, I don't have any idea about what I want to build because I am not a creative person anyway.
My wife suggests me to find a great and trusted designer to do the development and I agree with that. After take a long consideration my decision comes to Crosson Clarke Carnachan Architects. They are one of the most trusted design firm in New Zealand, which is know very well about the topography of the location. At the first time I don't know if my decision is right or not, but when I saw the contemporary house design that built by Crosson Clarke Carnachan Architects, I know that I have made the best decision about my dream.
This holyday contemporary house is just perfect. This amazing house is absolutely out of mind in the context of the model and materials that are used to build this great house. I don't know much about architecture, which is why I can't describe you the shape of this gorgeous house, all I know that this house is amazing and beyond my expectation. Crosson Clarke Carnachan Architects said that this astonishing house build for exploring specific view of the location, which is the beautiful shore line.
The outside and the inside design is dominate with wooden material. The outer part is coated with neutral color high quality coating to make to wood endures the outside weather while the wooden interior is coated with clear coating to glow the natural wood color. The entire furniture selection is minimalist wooden based furniture that matched with the house theme. Amazing contemporary house design is a tricky thing to create, but Crosson Clarke Carnachan Architects has successfully created it for me and my family.

MechTech Africa visits the Wadeville premises of Axiom Hydraulics and talks to Eugene Tondolo about how the company's exclusive brands are custom engineered for the hydraulic systems that drive South African industry.
Since its inception in 1959, Axiom Hydraulics has been designing and installing hydraulic systems tailored to individual applications. "While we specialise in the design, supply, repair, reconditioning and servicing of a comprehensive range of hydraulic components and equipment, we are most proud of our custom-engineering capability," Tondolo says.
"On the service side, we have a large stockholding of the world's leading hydraulic brands, which reduces lead and delivery times for southern Africa's fluid power industry. In addition, though, we have state-of-the-art production, design and testing capabilities at our 5 500 m2 Wadeville facility, enabling us to deliver intelligent solutions to our customers," he continues.
Following the 2016 move to Wadeville, Axiom is now settled and embedded in its new home. "This is an excellent site and we now feels like we have always been part of the Wadeville community," he says.
Taking MechChem on a tour of the facility, Tondolo starts at the dedicated warehouse, which is spacious and open with separate racking areas for each of the different brands in the stable. He points out the latest edition to Axiom's collection, the Ausco brand of braking systems. "Ausco comes from the USA and the company is a market leader in OEM brakes for off-highway vehicles. Its spring-applied multi-disc, hydraulic callipers and ball ramp brakes are widely used in South Africa, and a new design has been released for Land Cruiser braking systems customised for use underground," Tondolo tells MechChem Africa.
He next points out the ASA range of forced draft coolers for hydraulic oil, a simple radiator-based system with a range of fan drive options: 12 and 24 Vdc; 230 Vac; and hydraulic motor options. "These coolers are available in cell-phone sized units for small pilot systems all the way up to very large industrial units with 7.5 kW fan motors," he says, adding that, like car radiators, coolers are uncomplicated but essential and tend to be integrated into Axiom's custom-built systems.
A cornerstone of the Axiom Hydraulics range, however, is the Black Bruin range of low-speed, high-torque hydraulic motors, which have been an exclusive and successful product for the company for many years.
"We have recently had a lot of success with our Black Bruin motors on raise boring machines on an Anglo pilot project. These underground machines used our largest SD 15 litre hydraulic motor, which can deliver over 75 000 Nm of torque, to drill out the gold bearing reef between two parallel haulages, rather than having to drill and blast the rock face," Tondolo explains.
The mining industry is very excited by the possibilities of raise-boring technology, which significantly reduces the amount of waste rock that has to be transported to the surface for processing. "This project used our motors to drill 800 mm cores directly into the gold bearing reef. The rock is removed as pellets, so it does not have to go through a crusher on the surface, and the hole through the reef is immediately filled with a special concrete, massively improving underground stability and safety," Tondolo notes.
Axiom helped to customise an existing raise boring machine for use with its Black Bruin hydraulic motor. "At speeds at low as 6 to 20 rpm on the drill, the SD produced fantastic results. Our Black Bruin motor outperformed competitor motors by 8 to 1 in terms of service and reliability," he says.
"Previously, the hydraulic motors had to be rebuilt every 3 000 hours. After fitting our motors on ten raise borers, the longest running unit ran for 20 000 hours. Even then, when we stripped it to have a look at its condition, there was no need to replace a single part. We simply reassembled the motor and put it back into service," he relates.
Raise boring, Tondolo believes, offers excellent opportunities for old and advanced mines for recovery from reef bearing support pillars. "The system can be operated by a single miner and the safety and productivity opportunities are fantastic," he says.
With respect to the Black Bruin motor range in general, he adds that Axiom's stockholding is a big advantage. "We even keep the big ones on our shelves, while our competitors tend to have lead times of up to a year on units of this size. And ours are cost-competitive, even before taking the extended life into account," Tondolo adds.
The units are gearbox free with soft starting and load holding inherently built-in as a feature of the technology. Compared to electrically driven drives with gearboxes, Tondolo says that full torque is available from zero rpm. For big winches, apron feeders, conveyors or any machine where a large torque is required on start-up, these motors can simply be attached to the end of a shaft, connected to a torque arm and piped to a hydraulic pump. They fit into compact spaces and are very easy to install.
"With an electric motor driving through a gearbox, there is a massively increased power draw to overcome the startup torque. Hydraulic motors can generate very high torque at zero speed by running the pump at very low flow and maximum pressure, which minimises the kWs drawn from the pump motor.
"Also the holding/stall torque is excellent and we can ramp up or down gently and safely. When using a Black Bruin hydraulic motor, there will never be the need to dig all the material off a tripped conveyor system before restarting the motor," Tondolo argues.
