Hey, look at me, I'm blogging! It's been a while and I have lots to catch up on, and some very exciting news to share soon!
But first, some images from our visit to Flamingo Gardens this past weekend. We call this local wildlife rescue park our family's happy place. It's so peaceful to walk around and see such wonderful animals. (The kids are more into the snacks than the animals, but whatever.)

The Stand Project is proud to present Practical Parenting, an honest, open, interactive conversation for parents of High School students. Led by licensed Syntero clinicians, Practical Parenting is a safe, informal, and confidential environment where you can openly ask the questions you want answered.
- How do I know if my child is using substances? What should I look for?
- What kinds of substances are kids confronted with at this age?
- What are some rules I can setup surrounding driving and rides?
- Should I drug test or not?
- Should I check phone texts or not?
- How do I share information with another parent without "outing" my child?
- How do I have confrontational conversations with my child?
- When should I consider professional help?
Keep in mind this is the same content that will have been presented earlier this week during the morning session; we are simply having another session for parents unable to attend the morning session.

Let me tell you about London in January...Holy MOLY it gets cold. I was thinking "Oh ok, the temps look similar to NC...yadda yadda" What I wasn't planning for was the humidity to go with it. I photographed Rogan, waterside in a beautiful English mansion...She was such a trooper despite the temperature being so low. We tried to help by donning her in a fur to keep warm...I think it helped a bit? ;-)
So without further adieu, I give you Rogan Berkeley. A beauty and boudoir photographer for Studio 8 Experience based in Lincoln,
Rogan has a bit of an edge to her so I wanted to capture that edge, but still keep her femininity as well. There isn't much light to work with in England this time of year, which I think actually helped for me to push my creative boundaries and I am so happy with the outcome. <3

Where your money goes
As Hft is a charity, we understand the importance of making every penny count. We're partially government funded to provide basic support that is person-centred and designed to achieve the best possible outcomes for the people we support – but that funding can only stretch so far.
That's where donations come in. Your donations make a big difference in helping us support adults with learning disabilities to live the best lives possible, by giving us the means to pay for the 'added extras' that really change lives.
These are just some of the ways your money is spent to support people:
- £5 a month helps towards the cost of a work experience placement for someone with a learning disability who has set themselves the goal of getting a job
- £12 a month helps towards making the adaptations to a house that are needed for people as they age (such as stair lifts or adapted bathrooms) so they can stay in their own homes for longer
- £25 helps pay for a group music therapy session involving singing, playing instruments or moving to music, to increase confidence and improve speech
- £50 helps with the cost of installing personalised technology such as bed sensors, or fingerprint locks, which can help someone to live independently in their own home
- £500 helps pay for the staff training needed to enable someone with profound and multiple learning disabilities to communicate effectively with their carers – giving them a voice.
Please help
Whether it's a one-off donation, a regular payment or perhaps even a gift in your will, your generosity can make a real and positive difference to the lives of the people we support, helping them live with more independence and choice.

It's no secret that medical bills are swallowing many families. According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, an estimated 43 million Americans are in medical debt.
Here's what is particularly difficult about that statistic–a huge number, one-third to be exact–have otherwise good credit scores.
It can be tough to receive a medical bill in the bill (say for an unexpected hospitalization, an X-ray, and so on) and just not have the money to pay for it.
So what happens exactly if you just don't pay a medical bill?
A few things. If you are indebted to your insurance company, they have been known to sue. Also, you can fully expect that your debt will be sent to third-party collection agencies. According to a report from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 99.4% of medical debt gets sent to agencies, and you can all but assume that they are going to be highly aggressive when it comes to collecting that debt.
Agencies have been known to do everything from sue people to even garnish wages.
Bottom line: not paying is not really an option.
If you do get a daunting medical bill in the mail, the first thing experts advise people to do is to check it for errors. Medical billing advocates say as many as 80% of claims have errors.
If your claim doesn't have an error, the next best step is to try to negotiate with your medical providers including your doctor, hospital, and insurance company. Just make sure you are talking to the right person, like the medical billing manager, be persistent, and don't give up easily (this could take a while).
If you aren't able to get the bill lowered, look into options for low-income patients. Many hospitals and medical centers have resources, just go to their help desk to find out who to ask. They also might be able to point you to other assistance. The key here is taking initiative.

As your Puppet environment grows, manually signing certificates can become an issue. This is particularly true in cases where machines are being created automatically due to scaling, or because a cluster is expanding.
Puppet contains two primary methods to assist with this. They are basic autosign and policy-based autosign. In basic autosign, we give a list of hosts that we will sign certificates for. With policy-based autosign, we call an external script that allows us to determine whether a given certificate request is signed. We'll now cover these types of autosign methodologies and their potential use cases.
There exists a third type of autosign, which is used to simply tell the master to sign all certificates. It is ...

Paige Farrow | Photographer
The good, the bad, the ugly. I would sacrifice anything to create what I want to create and that's exactly how my mind works as a photographer. The human brain works as a partnership with you as the one who is working along-side of this organ. Some say you cannot control the brain, as some say it controls them so much that they notice they become one with their brain. I've seemed to come to the conclusion that I allow my brain to do the work for me. My images are created by my thoughts, dreams and spirituality. I'm currently in the works of becoming an Art Therapist and I've been inspired by the clients that I've learned about over the years in my lessons. I want to portray the unreal, as the real. When I say the unreal, I mean the real that is brushed to the side that people do not truly understand is actually there in front of them.
Mental illness is something that most humans deal with, but do not actually believe they suffer from. It's important to learn about yourself for your health. I grew up with so many weight problems to the point where I was becoming crazy with my figure. I thought looks were so important and became obsessed with losing weight. I moved to Chicago at a young age by myself and along the ways of learning about myself, I was becoming something I wasn't. I was alone all of the time in my apartment, trying to figure out why I was where I was at the time.
During my transformations, I decided to photograph different parts of my body every week. It kept my mind busy, not only with this project for myself but with myself as a whole. I would photograph myself after being stressed, happy, sad or after a mental breakdown. I photographed my emotions so I could understand. I wanted to know who I was and what my emotions looked like. I became obsessed with the idea of emotions. How did the brain create such a broad form of ourselves that we can unintentionally change?
November 2016 I will be releasing my photo series titled "Running With The Wind" where I show the world what it's like to deal with emotions. I've worked so hard to portray the incredible waves that flow and crash through my head. I'm showing everybody what I've waited for... what my brain is like when I finally become one with it. This is what it is like to run with the wind.

BALDWIN CITY, Kansas — McFarlane Aviation Products has won FAA-PMA approval on new complete fuel selector valve assemblies for Cessna 170, 172, 175, and 177 aircraft.
Company officials add they expect approvals soon covering more airframes.
For years, McFarlane has been repairing Cessna fuel selector valves. Ben Strahm and Andy Pritchard, both A&P technicians at McFarlane, found corrosion to be the number one issue that prevents fuel selector valves from being repaired.
Because of this, McFarlane hard anodizes the complete valve body outside and inside, company officials note. All attach fittings are also anodized.
Careful consideration of metal used for the components was also noted, company officials add. In the original Cessna valves, dissimilar metal corrosion is a problem with the lower bearing. McFarlane's design incorporates an aluminum bushing that is hard anodized.
Since repairing valves is an option that the customers still want available, each component of McFarlane's fuel selector valves hold their own approval and are directly interchangeable within the original Cessna valves. This means that original valves may still be repaired by using McFarlane's components at significantly less cost, according to company officials.
AD#99-27-02 is applicable to some of the cams in the original Cessna valve 0513120 series. Because of this, McFarlane began its fuel valve project by developing the replacement cam.
The AD was not the only reason for starting with the cam, Strahm said.
"So many of the valves that we have repaired we had to replace the cams because the index on the shaft had been damaged," he explained. "The cams appear to be damaged during reassembly or while reattaching the control linkage. There is a very specific way in which these must be assembled in order to avoid damaging the index while installing the roll pin."

- "Thirty-two hours ago, thieves raided a military storehouse. They stole weapons, supplies and data files for the Planet Prison project."
- ―Agent Galen
During the Cold War between the Republic and the Sith Empire, the Republic Military maintained a warehouse on the Republic's capital planet Coruscant.[1] By 3643 BBY,[2] the Republic Military stored heavy weaponry and munitions at the warehouse, and the facility's computers had access to the design files for the Planet Prison superweapon. That year, a group of thieves led by the Rodian Vistis Garn raided the warehouse on behalf of the Migrant Merchants' Guild and Black Sun crime syndicates. The group sliced the warehouse's computers to steal the design files along with munitions, rockets, and heavy weaponry before retreating to the Old Galactic Market, the area of Coruscant under the Guild's control. However, Garn's face was seen by security cameras, allowing the Republic Strategic Information Service, the Republic's intelligence agency, to identify him and send a young Jedi Knight to recover the files and weaponry from the criminals.[1]
Behind the scenesEdit
The warehouse is briefly mentioned in the Jedi Knight class mission "Stolen Secrets" in Star Wars: The Old Republic, a video game released by BioWare and LucasArts in 2011.[1]

Don't we all just want to know why? Have you ever met some one who never asks why? They are the ones whose parents always answered the question, "Why is the sky blue?" with a loud "BECAUSE!"
Poor folks.
Okay, I am being silly. Everyone wants to know why Jesus. Right? Still silly? Well here is why Jesus did not come to earth…
- To make people rich
- To heal everyone
- To get rid of all evil in the world
- To create political movements
- To develop a world religion that would spawn the crusades
- To teach love and kindness
- To be a great teacher
- To free the Jewish nation from Roman rule
- To be a great prophet
- To associate with the "right" crowd
Nope, none of that stuff. Jesus did not come to earth for any of the reasons men have made up.He came for His Father's personal agenda not for any man's agenda. Because He did not come to this earth to fulfill preconceived notions of his purpose, He made a lot of people mad.
He made some people very happy though. Not everyone hated Jesus. They loved him because of his purpose. He gave people something they did not have. He met needs. He came with a mission.
The mission from the mouth of Jesus himself as recorded by John an eye witness.
"Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, 'Father, save Me from this hour'? But for this purpose I came to this hour."Father, glorify Your name " Then a voice came out of heaven: "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again." John 12:27-28
"And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself." But He was saying this (AW)to indicate the kind of death by which He was to die. John 12:32-33
"I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness." John 12:46
Jesus said many other things about why he came. These sum up his mission well. He came for the hour of his death on the cross to draw all men to himself that they might believe in Him and ultimately the one who sent him. He came first and foremost to save humankind.
John would later write in 1 John,
By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 1 John 4:9-11
Propitiation is just a big word that means Jesus' death satisfied the need for our punishment for our sins.
Jesus attracted huge crouds and followers because he took care of their needs. Not just their physical needs but the most important ones. He took care of their sin.
You know what? He still takes care of our sins. Even today.
God bless

Base Dissolution: Using Lye
One of the less discussed, but incredibly effective ways to dissolve a body is to use sodium hydroxide, otherwise known as lye. This product is extremely corrosive, can cause serious skin burns and eye damage with the slightest contact on bare skin. Commonly sold as a powder, when mixed with water, it becomes dangerous. Notable killers to have used lye include Adolph Luetgert, who boiled his wife in lye and disposed of the fragments and Mexican drug cartels who refer to this mix as pozole after the traditional stew. When heated to 300F, a solution of water and lye dissolve a body into a "tan mineral oil-like" consistency in a few hours. As it is hard to heat water above 212F, or the boiling point of water, it would take a few extra hours.
Lye powder is easily purchased, at craft or farm supply stores, as it is used for soap making. Purchases of large quantities of acid are monitored heavily as acid is used in bomb construction. You may need to dissolve the body parts in batches depending on the size of the pieces and the size of your stockpot.
-Safety Goggles
-Protective Clothing
-Large Enameled Stock Pot, Stainless Steel Stock Pot with a lid
-Lye powder (sold as sodium hydroxide powder)
-Cold Water
-Heat Source
-Candy thermometer with a clip to attach to the side of the pot
-Body parts, cut into small pieces
*Suggested to do this outside or in a well ventilated space
Put on the respirator, safety goggles, protective clothing, and gloves.
In your stock pot, mix cold water and lye in a 1:1 ratio, and fill the pot halfway.
Place over heat source and slowly heat up to 212F, using your thermometer to keep a close eye on the heat.
After the water reaches 212F, you can now start placing the body parts into the Stockpot. Take care not to overcrowd the pot.
Leave the solution to cook for five hours at 212F, checking every now and again to check the water level and keep the boy parts covered with a 1:1 water lye ratio.
After five hours, all the body parts should be dissolved. Let the dissolved lye solution cool.
- Use the sieve to try to collect any bone fragments. These can be crushed along with teeth and mixed into compost.

Winter Climbing
Scottish WInter
In my experience, the mountains really come to life in winter. With the deep gullies filled with snow and the long ridges locked into a winter coat. Being based in Scotland, my finger is always on the pulse of current conditions and I'm located here from November until March or April. But I am equally happy to discuss guiding you in other winter climbing venues, such as Wales, Norway or the Alps.
Having climbed extensively in Scotland since 2002, I'd be delighted to share my knowledge with you in order to create a personalized itinerary with expert instruction, so that you can become a more confident and productive winter climber. If you are looking to "hone your technique" then we can seek out some harder routes together; a combination of guiding and instruction. We can be flexible and, if a chosen route is not in condition, then we'll do the next best route….or something better!
All aspects of the winter mountains can be covered, from snow craft and winter skills all the way through to steep mixed and ice climbing. Avalanche training will be given every day but this can also be taken into depth with a specific course if desired. Being flexible with itineraries is very important in winter, as the conditions vary so much. Equally, moving through the mountains in winter will be very memorable and turns out, quite addictive! Maybe this coming winter will be the time to tick off another 'Cold Climbs' classic!
So, if the winter is approaching, then feel free to get in touch and we can discuss options for you and make the most of the current conditions.
If you are looking for 'full package options' then please visit www.moran-mountain.co.uk as I will regularly be working for Martin Moran in the winter months.
Ice climbing
Cascade ice climbing is both really fun and really accessible. With great locations around the Alps and Norway, we're almost spoilt for choice. Armed with two sharp ice axes and crampons we can look at the basic's to help you find your feet, learn the technique and manage the safety aspects. Or if you're looking to advance your current level or climb your first WI5/6 then we can prepare and climb such routes, guiding on hard routes is the perfect way to sharpen up your technique.
Also for established courses in Aurland, Norway. Please look and enquire at www.moran-mountain.co.uk and if you wish you can specifically request me as your guide.

When Broadway Called, feat. The Prom
Mo Brady
Today on our blog, we welcome some of the ensemblists from the new musical The Prom to Broadway and learn about their journeys to the Great White Way.
"It was my final semester of college at Pace University, and we were just about to go on winter break. I had gotten a call from the head of my department to go to her office immediately. When I was in her office, I got the call that I was going to be on Broadway. I was in complete shock... it honestly didn't feel real. We celebrated, and as I was leaving her office and started walking down the stairs, I called my parents. That's when it really hit me. I couldn't even say it... 'Mom, Dad, I...got....The Prom. I'm..... going to...' I burst into tears and truly couldn't believe my dreams were actually coming true. I squatted down in the stairwell and was sobbing as they were screaming and crying on the phone all the way from California, 'SAY IT! SAY IT, GABI!!!' 'I'M GOING TO BE ON BROADWAY!!' We cried and screamed and thanked God. It was the most surreal moment in my life. I'm sure the only thing to top it now is when I make my debut, with my family in the audience.
"Growing up, Broadway and Theater was my safe haven. I was lucky enough to grow up in the age of YouTube, and when I was watching YouTube videos of all my favorite performers and actors, it gave me a sense of belonging- a place where I felt safe, wanted, loved, and included. There are so many things I'm looking forward to about my Broadway experience- but I think the main thing is being fortunate enough to be in an amazing show like The Prom, to make sure other kids and adults alike feel as though they belong. It was immeasurable to me growing up, and now I get to be a little part of the same cloth that helped me grow as a human being, which is mind-blowing."
"I went to the open Equity chorus call on a whim. I had actually booked a flight to go home that day for Thanksgiving and thought to myself, 'I'll just go and try and then fly straight home.' I had heard a lot of buzz about the show and was a bit nervous to want it too bad. When I got off the plane, I had an email with an appointment to go back in for the show.
"The very next day I had to fly out of New York again to start shooting at TV show in Atlanta. The week went on and I found out that I had received a callback. There was no way I could make it. Our days on set were lasting 12-14 hours. So, I woke up at 5 am and filmed a self-tape callback and crossed my fingers when I pressed send. The next day I found out that I received a final callback and really needed to be seen in the room. (I had one day off from shooting.) So, I booked the first flight I saw (which nearly broke my credit card) and flew back up. I was so nervous the entire flight but when I got in the room that all went away. I just thought, 'I really have to book this. There just isn't any other option right now.'
"The next Monday my manager called saying I was on hold. I called my parents immediately and began to pray with them. A couple hours later she called back with the offer. I'll never forget it.
"Being a part of an original cast has been a dream of mine for a long time. I am going to have the opportunity to experience a bunch of 'firsts' with some amazing people. The first time we see the theatre, the costumes, hear the orchestra, record the album, etc. There are a lot of Broadway debuts in this cast. We are all so excited to see this dream of ours come true, the energy is electric."
"I attended a dancer ECC in the spring of 2015 for 'Untitled Prom Musical.' I got a call a few days later notifying me that I had been cast in the developmental lab for this new musical, and I was just ecstatic. It was such a memorable moment for me because it was the first musical theater job I had booked as an adult living in NYC (I was dancing in a ballet company previously) and I remember thinking, 'Ok maybe I can do this!' I could have only dreamed that three years later I would be making my Broadway debut with the same show. I feel so fortunate to have been brought back through every phase of The Prom over the years. I get to make my Broadway debut with a show that is not only incredibly special to me and but also a show that I helped create. It's a dream come true.
"I am really just looking forward to finally sharing this show with people. It is a show about acceptance and being yourself and taking a stand for what you believe in. I'm very proud to be a part of it. It's also so full of joy! I can't wait to share that with audiences."
"I was teaching a class in Austin, Texas when I got the call from the company manager. I actually missed the call, so I got the news over voicemail. Since this is my professional and Broadway debut, I am looking forward to the thrills and challenges that eight shows a week will bring."
"I remember everything so vividly. I was on the bed trying to wake up because I couldn't sleep well the night before. I got a phone call around 11 am. I probably answered it like, 'Ah---- Heleeu' with sleepy voice. Soon, I found out it was from Foresight Theatrical LLC. I jumped out of the bed and saying, 'Excuse me, sir - what? Did I just hear Bbbbb...Broadway?' My wife was already crying. I was crying. I called my parents in Korea right away. Surprisingly, they didn't cry. It was a dramatic morning for sure, that I will never forget.
"I came to the United States five years ago without knowing any English. I literally used Google Translator to communicate with people. That Korean boy, who dreamed of Broadway 6,892 miles away in Korea watching shows like Smash and the Tony Awards on YouTube, is making his dream come true. This is absolutely a overwhelming happiness. I am already in love with our incredibly talented casts and crew. Also, I can't wait to meet the audiences. Especially, people who are dreaming about Broadway. I can't wait to give them so much love, courage, hugs, and saying 'dream big!'"
"I have been lucky enough to be a part of this show since the first lab in 2015. We did the out-of-town tryout in Atlanta in 2016 and we all hoped the show would come to Broadway shortly after that. I had given up hope for the Broadway transfer after waiting for over a year when my agent called me out of the blue and said I had an offer for Broadway!
Best. Day. Ever.
If I had to choose one thing I am looking forward to most it would be having my mom see me perform on Broadway for the first time. We've been on this journey together and I wouldn't be here without her constant support and encouragement so that will be very special."
" I received and email from my agents that I had booked the lab at the same time that I was cast in Fordham's Mainstage of Macbeth. After the lab with the promotional stuff, it was stated that we were officially cast in the Broadway rendition of The Prom.
"I'm looking forward to mostly performing in a new space with new things demanded of me, amongst new and thrilling artistic colleagues. Furthermore, I want to expand my pallet or capacity for things that I can handle. Looking forward to being a part of a process and production that spreads love. Love through any medium of expression and the significance of identity and the lack of identification."
"I was taking a nap and woke up up a voicemail from my agent. It's crazy how fast it all was. I went in on a Monday, had a callback on Tuesday, got the call on Wednesday.
I'm looking forward to working with some of the best and funniest people in the business. Being able to call these amazing artists co-workers. That still blows my mind."
"I found out that I booked the show by my agent tricking me... She called me to let me know that there was a piece of fan mail that was delivered to her office and that she was asking me to come pick it up. So when I went to go pick it up, she handed it to me and I went to go just put it in my backpack, but she stopped me and insisted that I open it that second. I was confused as to why she wanted to see it so bad. I opened the envelope and inside was actually a flyer she had made telling me I was going to be making my debut with The Prom! I was in complete shock and simply couldn't believe that it was actually going to be happening. They fooled me alright.
"I think I am most looking forward to simply putting up a new ORIGINAL musical and being part of the history of it all. This is an incredibly special creative team and cast that I am beyond honored to be working alongside. I also just can't wait for people to see the show. This show is truly special with an extremely relevant story that people need to hear. This one is an absolute must see."
"I was on the national tour of Disney's The Little Mermaid as female swing and flight captain. We were in Dayton, Ohio for the week, and I hadn't gone on in ages (thankfully we were in a brief spell of health, but it made my job a little less exciting). There wasn't much to do in town, so I was in my hotel room when I saw a call from a New York number, I didn't even make the connection.
Half an hour later, I call the number back. Turns out, it was one of my agents whom I hadn't met yet, and he was calling me to tell me I had an offer. I stopped short, asked, 'Are you serious?' even though he had no reason to be joking, and then screamed and called my mother. She and my dad jumped around the room in Colorado while I jumped in Dayton. I felt so lucky to have parents as excited as I was.
"I feel especially grateful to be entering the community of Broadway artists who made me fall in love with the art form in the first place. This cast of The Prom is truly special - grounded, giving, hilarious people - and I can't wait for us to share (so many of our) first Broadway experiences! We're ready for the world to see this bright new show."

John Graves Simcoe – The Making of the Man, Our City and Province/
#1 - The Influence of John Graves Simcoe's Father
"Honour". To a gentleman of the 18th century this was not just a concept, it was a creed. A creed that John Graves Simcoe practised as the foundation of his character and guide for his ambition. His father, Captain John Simcoe, set out for his ons how to live in honour in his "Rules for your Conduct". In it he wrote "Cherish carefully that delicate and essential principle Honour, which, if pure will readily dictate what is fittest to be done, and what is to be avoided more than death."
Love of God, Country and King were one in the same to Captain Simcoe and were the key principles of honour from which all his instructions flowed. He told them "Remember always that you are a servant of the Public…Let no ill maxims, however general or successful, allure you from, nor ill usage slacken your devout discharge of your duty; you are sure of the noblest and most lasting reward, the testimony of a good conscience."
In his examples of how to live, Captain Simcoe assumed that his sons would follow a military career in the army or navy. Using in his rules of conduct the examples of the detailed running of a ship or soldiering in the infantry, he wrote about the need to study and learn. He urged them to understand the theory behind military operations, but also know the details of how a sailor or soldier perform their duties. He goes on to tell them to always be vigilant, always be learning, always be loyal both to your superiors and to your men. Use your officers and men humanely and be an example to them of temperance, modesty and obedience.
As we study how Simcoe lived his life and commanded the Queen's Rangers, it is easy to see the effect of his father's influence and how Simcoe tried to live by these precepts. The influence of his father's teaching is especially apparent when comparing Simcoe's life to others in the officer class such as Banastre Tarleton who served in the same capacity of John Graces Simcoe and became far more famous – and infamous.
Captain Simcoe joined the navy as an ensign in 1730 at the age of 20 and earned his commission in 1739. From there he worked through the ranks to become Captain of the HMS Kent in 1744. In August 1747 he married Catherine Stamford and when the War of Austrian Succession ended in 1748, Captain Simcoe was put on half pay (essentially put on reserve with a pension) and settled comfortably in Cotterstock, Northamptonshire with his family.
With the advent of the Seven Years War in 1756, Captain Simcoe was again put on active service first as Captain of the HMS St. George and later as commander of the new warship the HMS Pembroke, a 60 gun ship of the line.
Captain Simcoe saw in the hinterland of North America a wealth of resources and potential. He actively promoted the conquest of Canada to the Admiralty as he saw it as very important to the control of trade in the Atlantic, to the protection of the American colonies and to the opening of "new and vast channels of commerce". When the opportunity was presented to have the Pembroke assigned to the force attacking Louisburg and Quebec, he was an ardent enthusiast.
At Louisburg, Captain Simcoe met General Wolfe and became a friend and supporter. There he lobbied among the naval staff for Wolfe's plans to conquer Quebec.
Captain Simcoe was interested in science and supportive of developing his staff. One notable beneficiary of this policy was James Cook who served as the Master's Mate on the Pembroke. Captain Simcoe encouraged Cook's study of navigation and cartography, and worked with him and Major Samuel Holland, Wolfe's engineer and surveyor, to chart the St. Lawrence River.
The French were known to have removed their channel markers and the British did not have reliable charts of the area. The three men focused on amalgamating what charts they had and then proceeding to survey the St Lawrence to create the charts necessary to safely lead the British expeditionary force up the St. Lawrence River to Quebec City. Unfortunately, on May 15, 1759 while the Pembroke was sailing up the St. Lawrence, Captain John Simcoe died of pneumonia. He never reached Quebec City.
However, Captain Simcoe's work and influence flourished. James Cook become one of the most accomplished naval explorers in history. Samuel Holland became Surveyor General of Upper Canada and commemorated the threesome's work when he surveyed a major portage road, Yonge street, which was to carry goods to the Upper Great Lakes and the Northwest. This road connected Lake Ontario to the first navigable steam flowing north, which he called the Holland River. It in turn drained into a bay he called James Bay which was part of a large Lake draining into Georgian Bay which he called Lake Simcoe after Captain Simcoe.
John Graves Simcoe's son, Henry Addington Simcoe, recalled in later life that his father always spoke of Captain Simcoe with veneration and respect and regarded him as a man of skill and accomplishments.

Continuing in Prayers
1 May 1996
CONTINUING IN PRAYERS "And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers" -Acts 2:42
As we have studied this verse of scripture, we have noticed some notable birthmarks of the infant church. We have noticed that they were a people who believed a particular doctrine and adhered to it stedfastly. They enjoyed the mutual fellowship of their brethren. And they were earnest in their observance of the Lord's supper. As we continue to observe these birthmarks of the infant church, we find a fourth attribute of their worshipful activity: they recognized the necessity of a constant and fervent prayer life; they continued stedfastly in prayers. As Luke penned the book of Acts, the Holy Ghost stirred his heart to record a portion of both the public and private prayers of the New Testament saints. This book is saturated with the prayers of the infant church, a people who lived on their knees. Luke's record is like a movie camera, allowing us a glimpse into some of their most intimate worship scenes. These scenes remain a constant witness to us today, as they remind us of both the necessity, and power, of prayer. As we consider the prayer life of the infant church, we should ask ourselves this question: Have we continued stedfastly in prayer?
PRAYER MEETINGS After the ascension of our Lord, the first activity of the infant church was a prayer meeting. They may not used those particular words to describe their meeting, but they did meet for worship in the mode of prayer. In the first chapter of Acts, after Jesus was taken up into the clouds, we read that the disciples returned to Jerusalem. It was there that they met in an upper room and "continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren" -Acts 1:14. Therefore, we can safely say that the first meeting of the New Testament Church, after the ascension of our Lord, was for prayer. Some might say, "We have so much to preach about, so many things to teach and learn, why meet for the sole purpose of prayer. We can pray before and after we preach, or, we can pray at home." Apparently, the infant church did not feel this way. They could have prayed at home; they could have prayed before and after their services. But according to Acts, they felt the necessity for prayer and they met together for the sole purpose of prayer. They continued in prayer. Indeed, nothing can take the place of preaching. Preaching should occupy the greater portion of our worship activity. But we should never forget to call upon God, the source of our power, and ask for Him to bless our efforts to worship and serve Him. Without a doubt, there was a lot to preach about when the infant church met together in the upper room to pray. God's purpose in sending His Son into the world to die for our sins had been manifest. Old Testament prophecies were unfolding before their eyes. There was a lot to preach about in that day as there is today. But what did they do? They met to pray. This was not the only occasion that the infant church met for the purpose of prayer. In the fourth chapter of Acts, Peter and John had been imprisoned and threatened for preaching the word. This was the first organized attempt to silence the testimony of the apostles that we read about in scripture. There was a great need for divine assistance and power. After they were released, "they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord...."-Acts 4:24. They prayed. In the twelfth chapter of Acts, we read of another occasion when the brethren met together for prayer. When Peter was apprehended by Herod and placed in prison, "prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him"-Acts 12:5. Herod had killed James the brother of John with the sword. And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. Peter's life was in imminent danger, and they, again, were in need of divine assistance: "prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him" -Acts 12:5. They met and prayed. Meeting together for prayer was a common activity of the infant church. Today, it is not uncommon to hear of churches meeting for other modes of worship: for preaching, singing, or even for fellowship. These are all profitable exercises on the part of the church. But how often do we hear of a prayer meeting? Where is that special time when the church meets to acknowledge their dependence upon the God of our fathers; to ask for divine assistance in preaching the word; to praise our creator and thank Him for our blessings; that time when the church comes together to ask for the blessings which can only come from the fount of every blessing? In the Christian worship service, there is a place for all of these. Throughout the age of the New Testament church, Christians have met together to participate in one, or all of these activities. There is a place for teaching the Apostles' doctrine; a place for fellowship; a place for worshiping our Lord in songs and hymns and spiritual songs; and place for breaking the bread. But let us never forget: there is a special place for prayer. These are, indeed, the old paths, practiced not only by the infant church, but also by the churches of this country. In the year 1794, the Kehukee Association adopted the following resolution: "Resolved, That the Saturday before the fourth Sunday in every month (emphasis mine) should be appointed a day for prayer-meetings throughout the churches; whereon all the members of the respective churches are requested to meet at their meeting-houses, or places of worship, and there for each of them, as far as time will admit, to make earnest prayer to God for a revival of religion amongst us" (Church History, C.B. and H. Hassell, Chap. 20, p.713). At this time, there were 49 churches in this Association and approximately 3,440 members. This Association, even with its large membership, recognized their need of God's continued blessings; they continued stedfastly in prayer. In the year 1799, the same Association "appointed Thursday, 21st day of November, as a day of general thanksgiving to Almighty God, throughout the churches, for His temporal blessings on their fields and farms, and that their country seemed happily delivered from the fearful apprehension of want and scarcity" (ibid., p.715). Here we find a special time when the churches of this area met for prayer. But rather than petitions, we find thanks. They met to thank God for His blessings and watch care over them. They continued in prayer.
PRAYERS ANSWERED As Luke records the prayers of the infant church, he is also faithful to record God's answer to their prayers as an encouragement for the New Testament Church, in all ages, to pray as they did. God heard the church's petition on behalf of Peter and a notable miracle occurred. "Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly,. And his chains fell off from his hands" -Acts 12:7. When Peter arrived at the place of prayer, "they were astonished". God had granted their petition, and when He did, they couldn't believe it. Luke recorded their response for this reason: too many times, we are of the same mind. We are praying for something but not really expecting God to hear us and grant our petition. Many times, in our hearts, there is that same sin of unbelief that lurked in the hearts of Israel when they stood on Jordan's banks. Oh, how difficult it is to pray, believing that God has heard our prayer. How hard it is to turn it over to God and anticipate a blessing. How hard it is to continue stedfastly "in prayer". In another prayer, Luke again records God's answer to prayer. In fourth chapter of Acts, verses 24-30, the apostles and disciples prayed and asked for three things: 1) For boldness to speak the word; 2) For God to stretch forth His hand and heal; 3) And for signs and wonders to be done by the name of Jesus. The first thing we notice, after their prayer, is that God acknowledged He heard their prayers by shaking the place where they were assembled together. Then we read in verse 31 that God grants their first request: "and they spake the word of God with boldness". In the following chapter, verse 12, God continues to answer this prayer: "And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people". Then in Acts 5:15-16, we find their other request granted: "There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one"-Acts 5:16. God not only heard, but He also answered their prayers. Can we not anticipate the same from our Lord today? Should we not continue in prayer? Even though the gift of apostleship and the apostolic power to heal is no longer available to the church, there are many blessings available to us today. We should continue to pray for boldness to speak the word. We can pray for lives to be touched and changed by the gospel. We can pray for others, who have not know the power of Christ, to be led to Him and our churches. We can pray for our churches and pastors; our membership; our family; our government. We can pray for the president. We can pray for God to bless us with light upon the written word. We can pray that we are not led into temptation. We can pray for grace to face the problems before us or for others to receive grace to face their struggles in life. As we pray, we can praise our Lord and His mighty wonders and we can thank Him for past blessings and prayers answered. There is a lot to pray about, both privately, and, as a body of believers. When they met to pray, we find prayers answered. They continued stedfastly in prayer. Some might say, "That was in the days of the apostles. We can no longer expect the outpouring of God's Spirit upon us today as in those days." But even in our time, we read of prayers answered. As we have noticed, in the year 1794 and 1799, the churches of the Kehukee Association met together for the express purpose of prayer. In 1801, their prayers were answered: "According to expectation, there had been a wonderful outpouring of God's Spirit among the churches during the previous year, and a large ingathering was the result; 872 were added to the churches by baptism in one year. The interest then felt in religion-the activity of ministers and members generally, the large numbers added to the churches by baptism, upon a profession of their faith in Christ-seemed to say that the day of prosperity had indeed dawned upon the churches of the Kehukee Association, after a long night of coldness and seeming indifference. From 1789 to 1802, reports of additions by baptism had been about as follows, viz.: In 1789, 15 reported; in 1790, 446; in 1791, 99; in 1792, 192; in 1794, 57; in 1795, 19; in 1796, 33; in 1797, 13; in 1798, 43; in 1799, 72; in 1800, 129; in 1801, 138; in 1802, 872. The Lord impressed the minds of His people to crave and earnestly beseech Him to revive His work of grace in the hearts of His children, to pour fourth His Spirit abundantly on the people, and cause the ransomed of the Lord to return and come with singing unto Zion; and as a consequence those prayers were answered. The prayer indited by the Holy Spirit will assuredly be heard and answered by a covenant-keeping God, who regardeth the prayer of the destitute, and will not despise their prayer. It will be heard and answered, though apparently long delayed. For many years such petitions had gone forth from the hearts of God's people in the bounds of the Kehukee Association, and the set time to favor Zion at length appeared, when the Lord seemed to break forth on the right hand and on the left in her behalf, and draw many sons and daughters home to the great Shepherd and Bishop of their souls"(ibid.,p.716,717). Many times, the prayers if God's people have been the sparks that revived God's work among them. We have observed this very truth in the churches comprising the Kehukee Association. We notice the effect that prayer had in relation to the infant church as we read the book of Acts. But we also read of this truth in the days of Israel of old. In the book of Judges, on five different occasions, we read these words: "Israel cried unto the Lord". Each time they recognized their need, they called upon the Lord and He heard from heaven and healed their land. These accounts are found in Judges 3:9, 3:15, 4:3, 6:6-7, and 10:10. It was after they turned to other gods and forgot the source of their blessings that God withdrew His blessings. But our point is this: when God's people continue in prayer, their prayers are answered.
OTHER BLESSINGS OF PRAYER Our Lord is gracious and able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think. As the infant church met on the many occasions to pray, they received far more than they requested. Not only were their specific petitions granted, but other blessings unfolded in their lives as they continued in prayer. One blessing they received was the special blessing of unity. When they had prayed, "the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul"-Acts 4:32. This is a common virtue of prayer. When God's people pray together, when they pray in the right spirit, hearts and minds are bonded with unity of purpose. When husbands and wives pray together, when they seek the Lord for divine guidance as partners in their home, special blessings ensue. Their desires and decisions become one, obedient to the direction of the Lord. When churches pray together, they are blessed to be of one mind, one heart and one soul, seeking the Lord's will in their affairs. It is through prayer that we are blessed with unity. Another virtue of prayer is the effect that it has upon our affections. The closer we walk with God, the more insignificant the things of this world become. As the infant church prayed together, their sight was turned away from this present world; their affections became more focused on things above. They seemed to forget the temporal, "neither said any of them that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common" -Acts 4:32. They recognized that all that they possessed was given to them of God and they were willing to use it all for His honor and glory. Their temporal possessions lost their attraction as they set their affection on things above. Their affections were focused through prayer. The fervent prayers of the church seem to bring about another blessing from the Lord and that blessing is power. The testimony of the Kehukee brethren is sufficient evidence of this. But we also notice this blessing upon the infant church shortly following their prayers. Again, in Acts chapter four, after they had prayed and God had acknowledged His hearing their prayers by shaking the place where they were assembled, we read, "And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all" -Acts 4:33. Not only were they given "boldness" to speak the word, but their speaking was blessed with results, "And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women" -Acts 5:14. There was power in their preaching because it was attended by the Holy Ghost. We can meet for worship, we can preach, but without the blessings of the Spirit, our best efforts are weak and void of power. Those early days of prayer, in the upper room, prepared Peter, and the other apostles and disciples, for the events that were to transpire in their lives. It was only ten days after this prayer meeting that Pentecost would come. It was then that Peter preached with great power to the conversion of about three thousand souls: power (Acts 2:41). Shortly after this, Peter and John went up together into the temple and a notable miracle ensued. A lame man was healed: power (Acts 3:1-8). It was on this occasion that Peter preached again when about five thousand heard the word and believed: power (Acts 3:12-26,4:1-4). And where did this power come from. It came from God in the person of the Holy Ghost. A final blessing of their prayerful attitude is also recorded in Acts 4:33: "and great grace was upon them all." Couched within this blessing is hidden meaning that no man can fully describe. They received many blessings; blessings that they did not deserve; blessings that they did not ask for. It was not just grace, but "GREAT GRACE!" This, in itself, would be sufficient reason to meet together and pray. According to God's word, according to the experiences of God's people in days gone by, a lot can be anticipated when the saints of God meet together for prayer. Oh, that prayer meetings were as prevalent and powerful today as they were in the days of the infant church! Let us continue in prayer.


text: 'You May Know These People', was a performance during which the artist sat at a table with his laptop, deleting all of his Facebook friends one by one, until none of them remained. His laptop screen was broadcast behind him, for the audience to see, and was simultaneously screen-captured to be presented as a video work for the duration of the exhibition. The subjectivity we embody as Facebook users - constant performativity, quantifiable interactions, and a misguided sense of responsibility for our own privacy - is highly desirable for (and conditioned by) neoliberalism. It isn't uncommon for people to censor their online presence to "remain professional", and yet, Facebook usage is still regarded as a form of non-work and procrastination. In deleting each of my friends on Facebook, I reject the neoliberal subjectivity fostered by Facebook by rendering my active account functionless.

PROFOUND . . . "I AM" - Riding Along the Interstate
Ever since I was a young boy I have been fascinated by freeways and roadmaps. The Rand-Mc Nally Road Atlas was a constant source of entertainment and the Interstate Highway System was the magic carpet to transport me to locations I could only dream of seeing. When not looking at road maps, I would draw my own with crayons on the fine print of the classified section of the LA Times. A favorite activity with my dad was taking a ride on new sections of freeways in Los Angeles as they were being built during the early 60's. And to this day, I still enjoy reading maps and anytime I am going to take a trip to a new place, I look at the relevant maps of the area firmly establishing in my head the way to go. I rarely rely on GPS directions and find knowing the route ahead of time makes the journey simpler and I think safer. It's best to know the way.
Pastor Ed explained that the Roman road system was extensive and vital to the Roman Empire. Such a system was essential for maintaining the peaceful domination of the Empire. An amazing factoid was hearing the length of the Roman system was only surpassed in total mileage only recently by the United States. The 48,000 mile U.S. Interstate Highway System launched in 1956, first as a military defense necessity and then second, as essential to commerce not unlike the Roman Roads. As Ed waxed on eloquently on the word, way, as in "I am the way, the truth, and the life . . . ." he put Jesus' statement into the context of the expression, all roads lead to Rome indicating to all the people of that time, all of life leads to Jesus.
Jesus' statement of being the way, the truth, and the life is of monumental significance and consequence. It is not politically correct today; make no mistake, it was not politically correct back in the day when uttered by Jesus. Legions of well-educated, highly credentialed, many acclaimed philosophers, professors, politicians, writers, artist, scientists, sociologists, religious leaders have debated and attempted to debunk Jesus' proclamation. Throughout history, people everywhere have pondered these words. Flowing from these words, Jesus asks all Christ-followers to be witnesses and make disciples everywhere in the face of immense resistance and hostility. Pastor Ed makes the point of communicating this "exclusivity" to others. This is what Billy Graham did so long and so well before entering into the presence of God. Each of us looks in the mirror and we know we are not Billy Graham. How do we convince people? We don't. We are to be witnesses of what we have seen, heard and experienced and those who hear are the triers of fact and will decide. So what are we faithful people of GateWay to do?
If God opens the door to a large forum like Billy Graham, then walk through the door. But I think most of us will not face that prospect. Yet each of us can "communicate" the way, the truth and the life to others just like Billy Graham did. Much focus is on Graham's speaking but equally compelling is his character that opened up opportunities for relationships. Presidents would seek him out not the other way around. In a recent op-ed piece in the New York Times, Jonathan Merritt wrote of Reverend Graham, "You've been talking about your time with the presidents," I said. "I'm struck by the way you've been able to offer yourself as an encouragement, a resource, and a truth-teller to leaders from both parties. A lot of young people like myself today have witnessed how many Christian leaders got lost in the partisanship and the power that accompanies politics. What advice could you offer to a new generation of Jesus-followers? How can we be more like you?"
In troubled times like these, people seek answers. People seek peace. People seek comfort. As Christ-followers we know the Way and have His words, "Let your hearts not be troubled." Even though we are not Billy Graham, we can be the same. We can exemplify and live out Christ-likeness. As we go about our daily lives we encounter any number of people, some of whom we have repeated contact. Our God stories, our godly character, and our godly compassion can open doors to these hearts. When we have those open doors then we can witness – communicate what Jesus has done in our lives which hopefully clearly states; I am the way, the truth, and the life.

Japa Ajapa Meditation
Hamsa Mantra
Some may know this practice as SoHum. Hamsa is from the Shaivite tradition and Sohum the Upanishadic tradition. "The meditative text Vijnanabhairava describes each round of breath as an automatic repetition of the mantra "hamsa" – Keller. This is type of meditation is known as japa ajapa.
Find a position that your body can be comfortably still for the next 5 minutes. Breath naturally, on the inhalation silently repeat "Ham" and on the exhalation, silently repeat "Sa". When the mind wanders, as it is likely to do, gently bring attention back to the breath and the mantra.
· The syllable Ham vibrates with the experience "I AM" – inhalation
· The syllable Sa vibrates with the expansive experience "That" – exhalation

Computer-based and multi-day testing window ensures test takers have a chance to recover from personal challenges that could interfere with their career if there is just one test day.
Importance of education in India comes from the very roots of our history. We are a country that has produced the finest scholars in various fields, from the very beginning of recorded history. However, today, our education system is divided between the old and the new.
There are many things that can be improved, like unnecessary emphasis on rote learning and the ever-increasing gap between government institutions and private ones when it comes to quality and facilities. There is another issue that has been marred by various ills, but has managed to escape the attention of stakeholders—the way examinations are conducted in India.
We have seen several high-stakes exams impacted by allegations of cheating or proxy testing. With the global transition from print to digital permeating every aspect of our lives, exams are also witnessing the winds of change. An increasing number of institutions and companies are choosing to invest in computer-based testing (CBT), instead of a paper-and-pencil testing format. CBT is a way to eliminate human error or bias in grading answers and, hence, improves the quality and reliability of a test. It also allows for large amounts of test and student data to be securely stored and analysed, so that the quality of future tests can be improved.
In India, lakhs of students appear for most mass exams on a single day. Delivering high-stakes exams on a single day, in a single session, to a large numbers of test takers, is fraught with risks. Among other things, it compromises the integrity and validity of a testing programme. On the other hand, delivering high-stakes exams over a multi-day test administration window with a smaller test taker footprint offers greater security, enhanced quality and convenience.
In multi-day testing, exams can be conducted in a more robust environment and offer stricter security protocol and systems that protect both test sponsor organisations and test takers. More layers of safeguards are put in place to cover a wide array of other factors—from careful recruitment and management of test centre staff who provide a critical level of scrutiny, to the use of biometric tools that help ensure the right person is taking the right test at the right time.
The technology capabilities of CBT and longer testing administration windows offer test takers greater convenience. By giving them a range of dates from which to select, test takers have the best chance to recover from a disaster or other personal challenges that could interfere with just one test day. Also, advanced systems help prevent unauthorised disclosure of exam content by providing safeguards so that all test items are securely created, stored and accessed. Exams are developed and delivered with maximum security and results are processed with accurate scoring.
High-stake exams help derive important, life-changing decisions for its stakeholders, especially for test takers. While India has begun to embrace the digital wave, it is critical that licensing, certification and academic organisations rely on the expertise of providers of CBT to help ensure the integrity and reliability of their testing programmes by having zero lapses in security, granting access and flexibility to more test takers as well as delivering 100% accurate results.

When cooking, shake your spices into the lid of the spice bottle or even your hand (unless it is hot pepper), then add them to your dish. Why not sprinkle them in right over the pot? Here are a couple of good and thrifty reasons:
1) You may accidentally dump a whole bunch in. This can ruin a dish. Sometimes it will pour out more quickly than expected, or the shaker lid may even pop off and all of the contents fall in. Ever tried to dip a few tablespoons of powdered garlic out of a pot of soup? Sometimes the dish can't be salvaged at all.
2) The steam from a pot of hot food can moisten your entire bottle of spice. If you hold the bottle over the steaming food, some of that moisture will be absorbed into the remaining spices. This can shorten the life of the spice, cause annoying clumps, or clog the holes in the shaker lid.
So, just give your desired amount of shakes into the lid or your hand and you can avoid the potential loss of expensive spices.

30,000 veterans do not have any healthcare coverage in North Carolina and that is a disgrace. I have been reading a lot lately about medicaid expansion here in North Carolina. We are one of only 17 states that has not expanded medicaid. And there are a lot of issues wrapped up in that topic that will have to wait for another post. Too many North Carolinians go without. But the kick to the gut for me was that we have about 30,000 veterans living in NC that do not have any medical insurance coverage at all. 30,000. Of those, 23,000 will be helped if we would just expand medicaid here in this great state. This is a worthy read if you want to read just a bit more about the statistics. https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article226256920.html
I then asked myself why? I thought the VA covered veterans. Well, searching out that answer lead me to this article: https://abcnews.go.com/Health/Healthday/story?id=4509219&page=1&page=1
To sum it up, there is a huge gap there. In 2003, it seems the Bush Administration put a stop to many VA medical benefits. Middle income veterans and their families were no longer eligible for VA healthcare unless they had a service connected disability.
Any individual veteran with no dependents making over $27,790 a year is not eligible
Any veteran with dependents making over $38,948 a year is not eligible
Some of these veterans make too much for medicaid, too little to be able to afford private insurance, and are too young for medicare.
Those are just the ones that are not eligible for coverage. There are veterans that do not get care even though they may qualify for VA medical benefits. The reasons given for those are:
No facility close by
High cost of co pays for specialty care
Long wait list
This leaves 30,000 with no healthcare coverage in NC alone. According to the ABC article almost 2 million nation wide. STAGGERING NUMBERS
As a veteran myself, this is unacceptable, and expanding medicaid will not cover everyone. But it will certainly help while a better plan for healthcare cost coverage is worked out in this country. NC needs to expand medicaid now!
If this astounds you as it did me, there are things you can do:
1. CALL YOUR LEGISLATOR NOW: https://www.ncleg.gov/RnR/Representation That is the link to find your legislator here in NC you just click on NC House then NC Senate and see who represents you. Just tell whoever answers that you are a voter and need your legislator to support medicaid expansion here in NC. After the call…
2. Sit down and write a letter or post card to those same legislators. Saying the same things. That it is a disgrace that so many go without medical care because of lack of funds. Expand medicaid now. And then…
3. Send a quick e mail with the same message.
Yes, hit them up three ways. This is important, and it needs to happen now!

Last year TOS was honoured the project of assisting Smit Lamnalco with a series of mobilization voyages of five impressive RAstar 3400 tugs. All voyages started at the Sanmar shipyard in Turkey and headed to their new destination Gladstone in Australia. In 2013 a new LNG operation in Gladstone was won by Smit Lamnalco and a series of five state of the art LNG-terminal tugs were ordered at Sanmar.
Starting end of last year, the first of five, the SL Curtis Island, was taken over in Tuzla and sailed on own keel and under own power via Suez and Galle, Sri Lanka to Gladstone. SL Curtis Island to be followed by SL Quoin Island (2014/2015), SL Boyne Island (2015), SL Heron Island (2015) and SL Wiggins Island (2015). The names come from Islands in the Gladstone area.
TOS assisted with the preparation of the vessels and sailed the vessels under Singapore flag and ISM to Gladstone. All vessels sailed the high risk area (HRA) with appropriate security arrangements, all arranged for by TOS.
Interested? Please take a look at www.smitlamnalco.com for more detailed information.
