It rarely happens that I step out of the realm of yellow, white, or chocolate cupcakes. Since I am blogging now, I think it's upon time I expand my cupcake repertoire. I mean, they are all the rage right now… haha. Well, since it's summer I wanted to whip something up with some nice bright, light flavors. I immediately thought of citrus. Since I have been baking a lot with lemon lately (lemon cookies, lemon bars, lemon poppy seed muffins, etc) I decided to change things up. I went the direction of key limes. It's been in the back of my mind for awhile now to make some key lime pie. While I haven't quite taken the time to do that yet, I thought it would be more than fulfilling to bake some key lime cupcakes. And boy was I right!
These cupcakes have such a delicate citrus flavor. It's almost like eating a lime sherbet cupcake. A lime sherbet cupcake covered with cream cheese frosting that is… hehe. Who doesn't like creamy cheese frosting??? It really does take any cake to a whole new level.
I have to complain though. This was my first time working with key limes and I am not a fan. They are SO tiny! To zest them, or even just juice them, is kind of an annoying task. Tedious, if you will. Although they have different flavor profiles, I would almost suggest that you use limes if you think you might feel the same way. They are slightly bigger and easier to manipulate. Plus one lime yields much more juice than one teeny, tiny key lime.
Regardless, the cupcake itself comes out moist and beautiful. The dome isn't perfect on these, so don't be over-ambitious and fill them to far, they may spread across the cupcake pan rather than rise. I usually don't like the crumb that cake flour provides, I just think it's too tight. But these had a perfect crumb. Plus, they're a super fun flavor!
- For the Cake:
- 1 ¾ cups cake flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) cool unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 2 ½ tablespoons key lime juice
- 1 tablespoon key lime zest
- 1 drop green food coloring paste
- ¾ cup buttermilk (room temperature)
- For the Frosting:
- Icing:
- 1 stick cool unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
- 8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature), cut into 8 pieces
- 2 ¼ cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tablespoon key lime zest
- For the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F and line cupcake pan with paper liners. Sift the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt three times, set aside.
- Using a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on low until it's softened a bit. Add the sugar and increase the speed to medium. Beat until fluffy, about four minutes. Add one egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the lime juice, zest, and food coloring and beat until mixed. (The mixture will look curdled.)
- Add the flour in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour, scraping down the bowl as necessary. Mix on low until just combined. Fill each cupcake liner ⅔ full.
- Bake 18-22 minutes. Cool completely and frost with cream cheese frosting.
- For the Frosting: Using a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on low until it's softened a bit. Increase speed to medium and add the cream cheese one piece at a time. Reduce speed to low and slowly add powdered sugar until combined. Beat in zest.

The effect of a brief appointment reminder for mental-health center applicants is reported. A standardized phone message was delivered by an administrative staff member one to three days before the appointment and a sequential experimental design alternating baseline and phone message conditions was used to assess the effects of the procedure. The no-show rate averages were 32%, 11%, 25%, and 14% respectively. The cost of the procedure was $162.00, which was totally recovered when only six appointments were kept. Since over 1000 patients were involved in the study, the return on the investment of +162.00 is considerable. Implications for this procedure are discussed for other community mental-health centers and for other community care-giving agencies.

Hi there
I am new to it and I am trying to add a timer e.g every 5 seconds to change image. I need it to be continuously from image 1 to image 2 to image 3 to image 4 to image 1 again etc. I have tried many different ways and I cannot get it right. Does anyone can help me with that?

I previously posted a method for scripting the activation of SPSS Statistics 23. My method has changed for version 24, so I thought it would be a good idea to write up my notes.
First up, repackaging. Due to the SPSS silent installer being notoriously bad, I had already decided I would just repackage version 24 and use a postinstall script to activate. It really is the best way to ensure that it will deploy properly. To add to this, I discovered that SPSS has its own Java bundled so that it does not rely on having the legacy system Java installed. The silent installer you download from IBM, though, still needs the system Java. Repackaging means I have one less dependency on the legacy system java.
Installing SPSS onto a clean test machine, I was able to see that it places files both under /Applications and /Library/Application Support. The files under Applications follow the usual convention of previous versions of SPSS, /Applications/IBM/SPSS/Statistics/24 The files dropped in Library follow a similar convention : /Library/Application Support/IBM/SPSS/Statistics/24 To repackage, grab both of these locations. Note that is it required that users have write access to /Library/Application
Support/IBM/SPSS/Statistics so you'll need to make sure those permissions get set properly in your package.
I use the Luggage for packaging, and here is my Makefile :
include /usr/local/share/luggage/luggage.make TITLE=SPSS PACKAGE_VERSION=24 REVERSE_DOMAIN=org.domain PAYLOAD=pack-from-applications-IBM \ pack-Library-Application-Support-IBM \ pack-script-pb-postinstall pack-Library-Application-Support-IBM: l_Library_Application_Support @sudo ${CP} -R /Library/Application\ Support/IBM ${WORK_D}/Library/Application\ Support/ @sudo find ${WORK_D}/Library/Application\ Support/IBM/SPSS/Statistics -type d -print0 | sudo xargs -0 chmod 777 @sudo find ${WORK_D}/Library/Application\ Support/IBM/SPSS/Statistics -type f -print0 | sudo xargs -0 chmod 666
I do the license activation in a postinstall script. The basis for the syntax of the script came from a sample script that SPSS ships with their program. The sample script is at /Applications/IBM/SPSS/Statistics/24/SPSSStatistics.app/Contents/bin/licsilent.sh Here is what my postinstall script looks like :
#!/bin/bash -x VERSION=24 AUTHCODE=<redacted> APPPATH="/Applications/IBM/SPSS/Statistics/$VERSION/SPSSStatistics.app/" cd "$APPPATH/Contents/bin" "$APPPATH/Contents/PlugIns/jre1.8.0_71.jre/Contents/Home/bin/java" -jar "$APPPATH/Contents/bin/licenseactivator.jar" SILENTMODE CODES=$AUTHCODE
If you have made it this far, perhaps you would consider doing me a favor. I have two open RFE requests with IBM. One is for them to ship a proper Apple installer package, and the other is to not require users have write access to the shared /Library/Application Support location. If you have an IBM login, please consider voting up these requests :

NBA Lockout Watch, Day 98: Current Gap In NBA Labor Talks Hard to Bridge
The NBA and NBPA in labor negotiations currently "stand perhaps 2 percentage points apart -- about $80 million -- but it is this final gap that could be the hardest to bridge" as both sides "contend they have moved far enough," according to Howard Beck of the N.Y. TIMES. That message "was evident in a letter sent by union leaders to their members" yesterday. NBPA Exec Dir Billy Hunter and NBPA President and Lakers G Derek Fisher in the letter wrote, "Yesterday, the owners gave us an opportunity to back down. We refused." Hunter and Fisher wrote the 50% share would be the players' lowest "since the early 1990s," and is "simply not a fair split." Sources said that before talks ended Tuesday, the union "proposed a player share ranging from 51 to 53 percent." Fisher and Hunter in the letter wrote the owners "refused" that offer. No further meetings "are scheduled this week." High-ranking officials from both sides spoke yesterday "by telephone, however, and it is possible they will meet again before the league starts canceling regular-season games on Monday." Beck notes "beyond the revenue split, several other major issues remain on the table -- including contract lengths, trade rules, limits on cap exceptions and a so-called amnesty clause to waive bad contracts." The parties also "must negotiate the framework of a more punitive luxury-tax system, to address the owners' concerns about economic parity among teams" (N.Y. TIMES, 10/6).
PLAYER AGENTS HAVE RESERVATIONS: CBSSPORTS.com's Ken Berger cited sources as saying that there are "some serious reservations" about how the NBPA "negotiated its way from 57 percent to where they are now." Some player agents "have been pushing behind the scenes for a more open and flexible system to allow for easier player movement, which they believe drives fan interest and revenue." The owners "could dig in at 51 percent for the players, and they could dig in pretty hard considering they just moved $1.3 billion in five hours Tuesday -- not to mention relaxing the system elements they agreed to preserve." Similarly, the players "could dig in hard at 52 percent, having already made a $1.3 billion concession of their own by going from 57 percent under the previous deal to 53." Sources said that 52% "is a figure the most influential voices in the group of powerful agents would accept -- though at least one of them has told associates he'd be willing to miss a month of games to get it" (CBSSPORTS.com, 10/5). On Long Island, Alan Hahn notes some agents, while "intending to take the wheel from the reeling executive director Billy Hunter, have really only given Stern and the owners more fuel by publicly criticizing the union for what is viewed as conceding too much in negotiations." A "fractured union is the result of weakness and distrust in leadership," and Stern is "carefully using the agent strong-arming to his advantage in the collective bargaining process." Seeing a union "on the verge of fracture, he applied some added pressure by revealing to the media the concept of the 50-50 BRI split, which was discussed only in private and never put on the table" (NEWSDAY, 10/6).
A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME: In Michigan, Brendan Savage notes Pistons G Richard Hamilton is "denying a report that says his relationship with agent Leon Rose could be among the early casualties of the NBA lockout." ESPN's Chris Broussard on Twitter reported that Hamilton "is threatening to fire his longtime representative over a letter Rose and five other high-profile agents sent to their clients." In the letter, the agents told players "not to make any more concessions in negotiations" with owners for a new CBA. Broussard said that Hamilton "perceived the letter as being 'anti-union' and has threatened to leave Rose's stable of clients while taking other players with him." But Hamilton said on his Twitter account wrote the report is "100% UNTRUE. Never happened" (FLINT JOURNAL, 10/6). YAHOO SPORTS' Eric Freeman wrote, "The problem for any anti-Hunter agent, including Rose, is that their job is to represent their players, not persuade them by means of coercion. If Hamilton and other clients don't want the union to decertify, then Rose is making a big mistake in pushing for it" (SPORTS.YAHOO.com, 10/5). CBSSPORTS.com's Gregg Doyel wrote the players are "stuck between the immovable owners and their own insincere agents." The agents are "the tail wagging this dog," with the "most powerful agents, representing nearly a third of the league's players, advising their clients to do one thing while Hunter and Fisher are advising the players to do another" (CBSSPORTS.com, 10/5).
FAN APATHY? In Houston, Jerome Solomon writes many fans "don't pay attention to the NBA until the Christmas Day games," but he asked, "Aren't there enough true NBA fans for the owners and players to care about?" Solomon wrote about the lockout, "Fans don't care. The NBA should. The NFL didn't have to wonder if fans would 'come back' to the sport." The NBA, which "in a sense already depends on a host of fans to come back to the sport every year around midseason, is about to give more fans permission to look away," and that is "something to fret over." Solomon: "The NBA is so off the sports radar that the acronym BRI has never trended on Twitter and probably never will" (HOUSTON CHRONICLE, 10/6). In Indianapolis, Bob Kravitz writes under the header, "Players Have It Good, Should Take NBA's Offer." The NBPA "has to stop fighting over 2 percent or 3 percent of the basketball-related income and get back on the basketball court." Kravitz: "Times have changed, the economy has gone in the tank, and the players have to be willing to give back more to make their league work." It comes down to "dividing the basketball revenue," but that "shouldn't be a reason to blow up part or all of the season." Kravitz: "The risk for everybody is far too great. Even after one of the most compelling seasons in history, with so many likable superstars and mega-teams and built-in drama, the NBA maintains an increasingly tenuous hold on the American sporting consciousness. Take away part or all of this NBA season, and how many fans will come running back, especially in cities like Indianapolis?" (INDIANAPOLIS STAR, 10/6). In Charlotte, Rick Bonnell writes under the header, "Sides Are Too Close To Give Up Now" (CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, 10/6).
BEST BEHAVIOR: In N.Y., Mitch Lawrence wrote under the header, "Despite The Lack Of Buzz About NBA Lockout, Players Need To Remember They're Still In The Spotlight." Lawrence notes Knicks F Carmelo Anthony and Heat G Dwyane Wade went to a party following last Friday's negotiating session in N.Y. and "ordered 12 bottles of Ace of Spades champagne at $2,000 a pop." By doing that, they "sent a message that they aren't particularly concerned about losing paychecks" If the players "want to throw around that kind of money on the bubbly, they're going to lose the public relations battle, even if it's the owners who have been pleading poverty all along in this labor dispute." Lawrence: "Now that the regular season is going to start getting whacked, players should remember that they're going to be in the spotlight, even if the arena lights are out all over the NBA landscape" (NYDAILYNEWS.com, 10/5).
NFL London Game Unlikely To Sellout For First Time At Wembley Stadium
The NFL's Bears-Buccaneers game in London on Oct. 23 is "unlikely to be played before a sell-out Wembley crowd," according to Ian Shoesmith of BBC SPORT. Previous games "have always sold out," but NFL U.K. Managing Dir Alistair Kirkwood said this year's game is expected to draw attendance in the "mid-70,000s." Still, the NFL is "considering adding a second UK game in coming seasons." Kirkwood said that "a number of factors were responsible for this year's game not selling out." He said that "perhaps the biggest reason" was the NFL lockout, which "threatened the entire 2011 season before finally being resolved during the summer." The labor dispute meant tickets for the Int'l Series game went on sale Sept. 11, "many months later than in previous years." Tickets for the game start at US$46, but "the majority are priced considerably higher which could also have played a part in slower sales." Kirkwood: "I'm going to review absolutely everything that we've done." Meanwhile, Shoesmith noted a British franchise "has long been rumoured and Kirkwood is open to the idea of one being created at a future point" (BBC.co.uk, 10/5).
SUPER ACCESS: The NFL announced yesterday that fans will have the opportunity to gain access into behind-the-scenes dealings of Super Bowl XLVI with special tours of Lucas Oil Stadium and the Super Bowl Media Center. The league for the first time will allow more than 5,000 fans to attend Super Bowl Media Day on Jan. 31. Super Bowl tours will run from Jan. 23-Feb. 7, with tickets available for purchase through Ticketmaster and the Lucas Oil Stadium box office in early December. Fans will have free behind-the-scenes access to portions of the Media Center located on the 3rd floor of the JW Marriott (NFL). In Indianapolis, Amy Bartner notes the NFL also has "added 500 customer service staff members to help people around the stadium with directions and questions to make the experience better for out-of-towners" (INDIANAPOLIS STAR, 10/6).
IndyCar Officials Wondering Whether Danica's Departure Will Have Impact On Series
Danica Patrick has one race left in the Izod IndyCar Series before joining NASCAR full time in '12, and IndyCar officials and drivers "are wondering about her impact on a series stressed by low ratings and ticket sales," according to Jeff Olson of USA TODAY. Patrick said that her departure "won't hurt IndyCar nor will her move to NASCAR dramatically boost its ratings or attendance." Patrick: "The IndyCar Series is not just me running around. If it was, it would be extremely boring." IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard acknowledged that Patrick's presence "was able to attract a demographic apart from traditionalists, but says the series will survive without the driver who has one win in 115 races." Olson notes Patrick's departure "might help some of IndyCar's most successful drivers gain recognition." Driver Dario Franchitti: "There was always that kind of disconnect having Danica in the series. We had a bit of the same thing that NASCAR has with Dale Earnhardt Jr., in that the most popular driver in the series doesn't necessarily win races." The series has "long been criticized for having a disjointed and incoherent marketing plan, relying on Patrick's fame to hold up sales and ratings." But driver Helio Castroneves disagreed, saying that "the marketing side of IndyCar is well planned, and we have enough drivers with personality to attract people" (USA TODAY, 10/6).

LONDON, Dec 15 (Reuters) - Scottish asset manager Alliance Trust announced an overhaul of its strategy on Thursday, including outsourcing its equity portfolio management to a group of external investment managers.
The 128-year-old-trust announced the plan following a six month review, and said it aims to double its pace of outperformance against a global equity benchmark index.
The changes come after Alliance, one of Britain's largest investment trusts, faced pressure last year from activist investor Elliott Advisors who said it needed a shake-up given the fund's underperformance and the gap between its shares and the value of the assets it holds.
Under the new strategy Alliance, which has total assets of about 3.6 billion pounds ($4.51 billion), will move from having its internal team manage its equity investments to using eight external managers that will each create a portfolio for the trust of around 20 stocks. Equity investments make up 99 pct of the firm's net assets.
Its in-house investment team, Alliance Trust Investments, will be sold to Liontrust Asset Management for up to 30 million pounds.
Chairman Robert Smith said in a statement he was confident "this investment approach will help to improve Alliance Trust's performance on a consistent basis."
Shares in Alliance Trust were up 1.7 pct at 607 pence at 0953 GMT, just off their all time record high.
Elliott forced Alliance Trust's Chief Executive Katherine Garrett-Cox, one of the City of London's most high profile women in business, to step down from the group's board in October 2015. She also stood down as head of Alliance Trust Investments in March.
In June the trust received an informal merger approach by RIT Capital Partners, the investment trust of financier Jacob Rothschild, which later walked away from the negotiating table saying a deal would not be in the best interests of its investors.

A voting machine was stolen from a church recently and low and behold, guess who Lauderdale County Circuit Court Clerk Donna Jill Johnson blames it on: Gamers!
Based on what the sheriff's department told us, it is believed those that took the voting machine were probably young kids and thought it might be a video game console. They've probably figured out by now it will not work.
Nice hit job on gamers Lauderdale County Circuit Court Clerk Donna Jill Johnson, if that's your real name. I don't think Agent 47 could've done a better job. What if it was Jack Thompson who stole it? We all know he'd stoop to such a degree just to make us look bad.

My weird and somewhat surreal flash fiction piece, "Proceedings from the First and Only Sixteenth Annual One-Woman Symposium on Time Manipulation," is up today as a reprint at Flash Fiction Online!
This story first appeared late last year in Time Travel Tales, which you can buy on Amazon as an e-book or in print. The anthology has a bunch of excellent stories by other authors as well as mine, so if you like time travel, go check that out as well!
And—speaking of anthologies—a reminder that my historical fantasy story "Kuriko" is out now in Guardbridge Books's Tales of the Sunrise Lands, and available on Amazon as well as through the Guardbridge Books website.

23/09/16 Morning Murli Om Shanti BapDada Madhuban
Sweet children, this world is now a hopeless case. Everyone is to die and this is why your attachment to it has to end. Constantly remember Me alone!
What is the reason for not having enthusiasm for service?
1) If your character is not good and you do not remember the Father, you cannot have enthusiasm for service. You continue to perform one wrong action or another and are therefore unable to do service. 2) The Father's first direction is: When you die, the world is dead for you. You don't put this direction into practice. It is because the intellect is trapped in bodies and bodily relations that you are unable to do service.
Salutations to Shiva.
Om Shanti
You heard the song of the path of devotion. People say "Salutations to Shiva." They speak Shiva's name again and again. They go to a Shiva Temple every day and they celebrate whatever festivals there are every year. There is the most elevated month of charity (leap month) and also the most elevated year of charity. They continue to say "Salutations to Shiva" every day. Many are worshippers of Shiva. The Creator is Shiva, God, the Highest on High. They say "The Purifier is the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, Shiva." They worship Him every day. You children know that this is the confluence age, the age to become the most elevated of all. People claim a high status or another from a worldly study. How did Lakshmi and Narayan claim their status? How did they become the masters of the world? No one knows this. They say "Salutations to Shiva. You are the Mother and Father." They sing this praise every day, but they don't know when He comes and becomes the Mother and Father and gives us our inheritance. You know that the people of the world don't know anything. They stumble around so much on the path of devotion. So many groups of people go to Amarnath; they stumble around so much! If you were to tell them this, they would become upset.
Very few of you children have a lot of happiness inside you. Some continue to write "Baba, from the moment I recognised You, there has been no limit to my happiness." Even when there are difficulties, you must remain happy. You must never forget that you now belong to the Father. Now that you children know that you have attained Shiv Baba, there should be no limit to your happiness. Maya repeatedly makes you forget. Although you write that you have faith and that you know Baba, you become slack while moving along. When some don't come for six to eight months or for two to three years, Baba understands that they don't have full faith in their intellects and that they are not fully intoxicated. He is such an unlimited Father that He gives you an inheritance for 21 births. If you had this faith, you would then have a lot of happiness and intoxication. When a king wants to adopt a child and that child finds out that there is talk of the king wanting to adopt him and make him his heir, that child would have so much happiness. He would feel: I am going to become a child of the king! Or, if a poor child is adopted by a wealthy person he feels so happy. When he realises that he is going to be adopted by so-andso, his feeling of being a poor person disappears.
That is a matter of just one birth. Here, you children have the happiness of claiming an inheritance for 21 births. Remember the unlimited Father and also show the path to others. Shiv Baba, the Purifier, has come. He explains that He is your Father. No human being can say "I am your unlimited Father." Only the Father explains that He came 5000 years ago. He said the same words: Constantly remember Me alone. Only by remembering Me, the Purifier Father, will you become pure. There is no other way to become pure from impure. Only the one Father is the Purifier. Krishna cannot be called God. The God of the Gita is the Purifier and He is beyond birth and death. This is the first thing you should get people to write. When others see this written by eminent people they will feel that this is right. If they see this written by an ordinary person they would say that the Brahma Kumaris have cast a magic spell on him and that is why he has written that. They wouldn't say that if it were written by an eminent person. When you say anything, they say that you have a small mouth and are talking big things saying that God has come. You children mustn't just say that God has come. No one will understand that and some will even laugh at you. Explain that there are two fathers. First of all, don't instantly tell them directly that God has come because, nowadays, there are many in the world who call themselves God. All of them consider themselves to be incarnations of God.
Therefore, explain the secret of the two fathers to them tactfully. One is a limited father and the other is the unlimited Father. The Father's name is Shiva. He is the Father of all souls and so He must surely give His children an inheritance. People celebrate the birthday of Shiva. He comes and establishes heaven. Therefore, hell definitely has to be destroyed. The sign of that is the Mahabharat War. When you just say that God has come, no one understands anything. You continue to beat drums. When you do service in the wrong way like that, service becomes even more slack. On the one hand, you say that God has come and that He is teaching you, and then you go and get married! People would then ask "What happened to you? You said that God was teaching you!" They would then reply "We just told you what we heard." There are many types of obstacle from My own children. For instance, the Hindus have slapped themselves. In fact, they belong to the deity religion, but they say that they are Hindus. They have slapped themselves in this way. You now know that when you were worthy of worship you had an elevated religion and performed elevated actions. By following devilish dictates you became corrupt in your religion and actions. We are the ones who begin to defame our own religion by following devilish dictates of Maya.
This is why Baba said: That is the devilish community. This is the divine community to whom I teach Raja Yoga. It is now the iron age. Those who come and listen to this knowledge become deities from devils. This knowledge is for becoming deities. You become deities by conquering the five vices. There wasn't any war between the devils and the deities. They made this mistake, but they have shown that the ones who had God on their side became victorious. They have mentioned Krishna's name in that. In fact, your war is with Maya. The Father sits here and explains so many things to you, but some are so tamopradhan that they don't understand anything at all. They are unable to remember the Father. They understand that their intellects are tamopradhan and that they are therefore unable to remember the Father and this is why they continue to perform wrong actions. Even very good children don't remember the Father at all. They don't reform their character at all! This is why there is no enthusiasm for service. The Father says: Kill the body and all bodily relations! That is, forget all of them! The word "kill" isn't actually said; it is said: When you die, the world is dead for you. The Father sits here and explains this. Remove them from your intellects. Now that you belong to Me, forget them all. Remember the one Father. When someone is a hopeless case in terms of his illness, others have to break all their attachment to that one.
He is then told to remember Rama (God). The Father also says: This world is a completely hopeless case. The world is to be destroyed. Everyone is to die and this is why you have to remove your attachment from it. They continue to chant Rama's name. Here, it isn't a question of just one; the whole world is to be destroyed. This is why I give you just one mantra: Constantly remember Me alone! He continues to explain to you in so many different ways. The month of charity has now come and so He continues to explain to you about the most auspicious age in which you become the most elevated beings. You have to be very clever in explaining these things. The divine virtues have to be well imbibed by you. You mustn't perform any sinful actions. To pick up something without permission or to eat something without permission is also an incognito sin. The rules are very strict. When someone commits a sin and doesn't tell Baba about it, that sin continues to increase. Here, you children have to become charitable souls. I love charitable souls and dislike sinful souls. On the path of devotion, too, they are aware that they receive good fruit by performing good actions. This is why they perform the good actions of making donations and performing charity. This is a drama and yet they say that God gives good fruit for good actions.
The Father says: I don't just sit and do that business. All of that is fixed in the drama. The Father definitely has to come according to the drama. The Father says: I have to come and show everyone the path. There is no question of mercy in this. Some write "Baba, if we have Your blessings, we will never forget You." The Father says: I don't give blessings or have mercy in that way. Those things belong to the path of devotion. Have mercy on yourself! By remembering the Father, your sins will be absolved. The things of the path of devotion do not continue on the path of knowledge. The path of knowledge is a study. A teacher would not have mercy on anyone. Each one has to study. The Father gives shrimat. Therefore, you should follow that, should you not? However, because of following your own dictates, you don't do any service. Children have to become completely charitable souls. There shouldn't be the slightest sin committed. Some children never speak of the sins they have committed. The Father says: They will never claim a high status. It is remembered: Those who ascend taste the sweetness of heaven. You children know that the status is very high. If you fall you are of no use at all. Impure arrogance is number one. Lust, anger and attachment are no less. Greed and attachment also completely destroy everything. When you have attachment to your children, you continue to remember them. The soul says: Mine is one Shiv Baba and none other. Make such effort that no one else is remembered. All of those things have to end.
Destruction is just ahead. After that, you won't be able to claim your inheritance. Why should you have attachment to this world? Talk to yourself in this way. Remove the whole world from your intellects. All of that is going to be destroyed. Such storms will come that they will finish off everything. When a fire breaks out somewhere and there are strong winds, everything is very quickly destroyed. In just half an hour, 100 to 150 huts are destroyed. You know that the haystack has to be set on fire. How else would all these human beings die? Good children who have good characters will do good service. You children should have intoxication. You will have full intoxication at the end when you reach your karmateet stage. However, until then, you still have to continue to make effort. Many people go to the Shiva Temple in Benares because He is God, the Highest on High. They worship Shiva a great deal there. Baba continues to tell you to go there and explain to them: God Shiva gives Lakshmi and Narayan this inheritance. They received their inheritance from Him at the confluence age. When you explain this to them, you would also include the explanation of Brahma and Saraswati. You can explain very clearly, using the pictures, how they received their kingdom. The path of devotion didn't exist in the kingdom of Lakshmi and Narayan.
They say that devotion has continued eternally. You have now received so much knowledge that you should be intoxicated: God is teaching us in order to give us our fortune of the kingdom for 21 births! You are students. Those who have faith will wonder: "What would the One from whom the Brahma Kumaris hear everything and who instils that faith in us be like Himself?" They would first want to come and meet such a Father! Until they have full faith, they won't be able to move forward. Those who have faith will quickly run. "We will go and meet such a Father; we won't leave Him alone. Baba, I now belong to You. I will not go anywhere now." There is a song: Whether You love me or whether You reject me, this one who loves You madly will not leave Your doorstep. Not everyone can stay here. You have to be sent on service. While living at home with your family, remain like a lotus. Some put this in writing, but when they go outside, they get caught in the spin of Maya. Maya is so powerful! Maya causes many obstacles. Such a tiny lamp has so many storms of Maya! Baba comes and explains to you the essence of these songs. This is your most auspicious confluence age. The month of charity of the devotees has passed. The Father says: I only come at this confluence age to purify the impure. This explanation is so good! Achcha. Day by day, new methods will continue to emerge for service to progress. Many good pictures will continue to be created. It is said: Although a task may take a long time, it will be accomplished well. You are receiving ready-made goods through which anyone can understand instantly. The picture of the ladder is very good. No one could say at this time that they are pure. Only the golden age is called the pure world. Lakshmi and Narayan are the masters of the pure world.
To the sweetest, beloved, long-lost and now-found children, love, remembrance and good morning from the Mother, the Father, BapDada. The spiritual Father says namaste to the spiritual children.
Essence for Dharna:
1. Pay a lot of attention so that not even the slightest subtle or gross sin is committed. Don't take anything secretly. Beware of greed and attachment.
2. Renounce any impure arrogance that would completely finish you. Make effort to remember no one but the one Father.
May you be a victorious jewel who creates an atmosphere through the searchlight of remembrance.
Serviceable souls already have the tilak of victory applied on their foreheads, but light of the searchlight has to be given to the place which has to be served. Such an atmosphere will be created with the searchlight of remembrance that many souls will easily be able to come close. Then, there will be a thousand fold success in a short time. For this, have the determined thought that you are a victorious jewel and victory is already merged in every action.
Any service that disturbs yourself or others is not service but a burden.

Problem: Mesh generation in blade wheel
1 Attachment(s)
starccm generate a mesh with bad cells (see attachment).
These bad calls are all in my region "blade wheel" and I think that the prism layers may cause this bad cells.
I use these meshing models:
- Polyhedral Mesher
- Prism Layer Mesher
- Surface Remesher
The Reference Values are:
- Base Size : 100mm
- Number of Prism Layers: 4
- Prism Layer Stretching: 1,5
- Prisem Layer Thickness: Absolute Size: 0,25mm
- Surface Curvature: Basic Curvature: 180
- Surface Growth Rate: 1,3
- Surface Proximitly: #Points in gap: 3; Search Floor: 0
- Surface Size: Relative Minimum Size: 0,1; Relative Target Size: 45
- Tet/Poly Density: Density: 1; Growth Factor: 1
- Tet/Poly Volume Blending: 1
What can I do to avoid this bad prism layer cells?
The problem is that these calls make the Reynolds stress turbulence model diverging. The k-epsilon model or the SST model work great. But I simulate an side channel blower and therefore I need the RSM model.
Can you show us a picture of the volume mesh on the surface of the blades?
Also, have you played with the prism layer settings found under Continua->Mesh->Models->Prism Layer Mesher ?
Specifically try lowering Minimum Thickness Percentage (Maybe start at 5, and try again at 1) and raising Layer Reduction Percentage (you can go all the way up to 99). Also, increasing your Boundary March Angle may help

Wow, thanks for the fast response
The screenshots are attached now. I will test your settings at Monday.
Those pics help, but I meant pictures of the mesh on the actual surface, not cut planes. Specifically pictures around the thickness of the blade.

With summer in full swing, it is not too late to add a few key seasonal trends to your wardrobe. Summer 2016 had panned out to be an interesting one or fashion, incorporating styles from the 1960's and 1970s, with bold, modern accessories. These are looks which are sure to continue into the late summer and fall and staples for any fashionable lady. So, which trends have emerged as the winners of summer 2016? Here is a list of seven styles that continue to rule the fashion world this season.
Frayed Denim Shorts
Demin shorts have always been a staple for summer wardrobes. The frayed denim shorts are a bit of a throwback, adding a casual touch to your outfit. This style will also carry into winter, looking great paired with chunky, knit sweaters.
Off the Shoulder
Off the shoulder shirts and dresses are one of the biggest, boldest trends of the summer. Show some shoulder (and get a great tan) with shrugged cotton tops and dresses. They look great in white, black, light blues, and denim. Pair an off the shoulder top with your frayed denim shorts and you will be ready to kick off the rest of the season in style.
Exaggerated Sleeves
Similar to the off the shoulder look, bold sleeves are also in style. Whether it is a top or a dress, exaggerated, larger than life sleeves are hot. This look is a throwback to the feminine flower child look of the 1960's and 1970's.
Statement Sunglasses
Everyone has to have a great pair of shades for summer. This summer the hottest accessories are those that provide a bold accent to outfit which are more understated. Round sunglasses are one major trend in sunglasses this summer. Another are bold, colorful sunnies, such as the recycled skateboard wood sunglasses from Modastenmad. These specs are bright and totally unique.
Statement Bags
In addition to bold sunglasses, statement bags are also all the rage. In summer you can get away with things that are a little more out there, so use your bag as a way to show off your kooky side. Pop art and graphic design bags are particularly hot right now.
So, what are you wait for? Get on board and incorporate these trends into your summer wardrobe today!
