David Mills asks, If it's true that religious bureaucracy deforms and hinders Christian ministry, what should be done?
Western churches must radically change the way they work. They must reorganize their lives, by exchanging a centralized system run by processes with impersonal rules and directed towards centrally chosen ends, for a decentralized system allowed to work and grow organically towards ends individuals within it discern and test in local practice.
The center will have to give up much or most of its power and lead by example and persuasion. It will have to demand very little from the parishes but offer them whatever unique help a centralized body can offer. And, in-stitutional life being what it is, the churches must change their structures, in a way not easily revoked or evaded.
Changing the structures will not of itself bring revival, but it will make revival easier. It will certainly make the need for revival more urgent, by removing the structures the Western churches now use to avoid seeing and admitting their problems.
Patristic style
Patristic style means that the relationships between the bishop and his clergy and people should be primarily personal, in that the bishop leads by persuasion and example and allows the parishes and people to respond as (and if) they will. Such bureaucracy as is necessary, for bureaucracies there will be, should be as small, as short-lived, and as limited in power as possible. To institutionalize this change, dioceses should ask parishes for support, not force them to give through assessments and quotas.
This is not a new idea, though the power of the churches' central bodies has grown so great that people forget the mainline churches were once mostly local and personal bodies, who gave their national bodies what powers and money they had, and who were tied together by a common faith and ministry. Their authorities were in the same position in dealing with them as St. Paul was in dealing with the Corinthians or the Galatians: having to appeal to personal authority and the faith they shared, not to the law, canonical and civil, and their ability to take from dissidents their property.
The great models of this, of course, are to be found in the New Testament, in Jesus' relationship with his disciples and St. Paul's with Timothy, and in the life of the early Church. The early Christians shared what they had not because they were forced to but because the apostles had showed them how to live sacrificially and created both a general expectation that they would do so and a community that helped them to do it.
Structural reform
Reform will require a less programmatic and more "spiritual†understanding of ministry and parish life, a renunciation of the rationalist mind that believes centralized bodies will work better than a decentralized system, a giving up of our belief in our own final powers of design and purpose. People will have to care more for faithfulness to the biblical standards than for visible results (so easily faked or misinterpreted) and thereby understand that the fruits of ministry are often invisible, or indirect, or to come.
The necessarily radical structural reform will, in other words, require a greater trust in the Holy Spirit and in his people. And considerably more difficult, a trust that the people are listening to the Holy Spirit. Only those confident in the Holy Spirit's leading can do without bureaucratic structures and allow their fellow workers in the vineyard the freedom to act.
The temptation to direct and control by centralizing the process, or to hedge and qualify by submitting the ministry to a bureaucracy, is far too great—and not unreasonably, given the dangers—to risk without a real belief in the work of the Holy Spirit through his people. One is not going to "let go and let God†if one is not very sure God knows what he is doing and will do it.
And finally, for most dioceses in the Western churches, to so deeply trust in the Holy Spirit will require a revival and renewal, such as will bring bishop, priests, and people to a deeper unity in the Faith, a unity so deep that they act instinctively and in unity, without crippling disagreements or negotiations or the temptation to create a committee to do the work for them. I do not mean the faith as it has come to be defined in religiously pluralistic churches, which affirm a range of models and images and paradigms but favor none, but the Faith in the God who has revealed himself in the Scriptures and the consensus of Christians through the ages.
Not to put too fine a point on it, a revival will require the rejection of what is usually called liberalism, or better, the conversion of liberals to a fuller and more exactingly biblical faith. Without it, they will resist such radical reform of the system because liberalism needs elaborate structures, because it defines the faith as the accomplishment of this-worldly ends, and because it fails in the market and can only succeed by manipulating a system.
The Test
The test of the reform is evangelism: whether the bureaucratic or the personal styles of ministry will reach the world most effectively. The extraordinary growth of the churches in Africa and Asia, where bureaucracies are small and bishops and their priests are usually evangelists as well as pastors, suggests the superiority of the personal to the bureaucratic.
When their churches are growing so rapidly, even as they are persecuted for their faith, the West might wisely defer to their wisdom. It can't claim to have had great success doing things its way. The Western churches might see the beginning of a revival if their bishops filed all the reports and resolutions, dissolved all but the essential committees, and canceled the legislative meetings, and went out into the streets of their sees with a bishop from Africa to tell people about Jesus.
This is an edited version from David Mills: Reorganizing Religion.

Translate unlike forge iron, ropedancing, bridging; Those 3 should learn to just can work. And the interpreter is not such however. Everybody can say he meets an interpreter, actually not certain; Know a bit foreign language a little, can feel oneself meet an interpreter; A little interpret passes 9 books, can become aware get from personal interpret is very good, actually not certain. General interpreter cannot reach level, because a lot of translator does not have recognize,also be this is a quite special issue.
Brillant translator is not charmer, he suffering thinks a can hardworking ——— , suffering searchs, change frequently, quite, experiment, compassionate not at all to oneself.
The interpreter is creation, it is another kind of creation at least, besides do not want overall arrangement, conception, one word, want to create, and very difficult, because do not have freedom. Writer and those who know foreign language, it is ideal interpreter talented person.
You think interpret is gotten brillant, follow oneself to learn only. Write Chinese first, whatever meaning can be conveyed roughly; Understand English, can use reference book. Next much intention interpret, change more, try more, think more, take care more. Do not think oneself had been blown blow cried. Always top-ranking translator, it is to feel constantly can find no way out, the person that changes arduously.
We are manacled very easily by foreign language, be bound closely, with respect to the idea that can forget oneself, view, follow the word word watch of foreign language. We look for proper translation, resemble playing hide-and-seek. Most translator is disinclined to search, illuminate textual literal interpret, the reader does not understand, read come comfortable, they no matter, translating foreign language anyway is. It is minority admits not to agree really only careless, they want translation interpret to must resemble Chinese, want a reader to read rise comfortable.
The interpreter's thing mentions the opinion that will have each each. Nevertheless I see home of latter-day name interpret and interpret learn a saying word to have collective place. It is translation wants clear and coherent, need not nail to death textual. Add when necessary add, the augment of this augment, the cutout of this cutout, do not give textual bind dead. Should use with what envisage envisage, need not terrible censure, say textual such not saying. Translator is due courage decides, carry instantly to come.
Good translation is stuck textually very close, very closely associated with each other, and translation lucid and smooth as origianl work, this is a hard thing, there also should be bit of book in abdomen, still have creation power and fancy.
Translate this thing to be done without the bottom, good OK still good; Return accurately OK and accurate; apt OK still apter. Almost everybody cannot say, the country that his translation can hang the door, do not have a person to be able to change one word. My with great concentration thinks, literal deliberate, always can change weller to read a bit, understand easily a bit, more adjacent and a bit more textual, find better Chinese; As it happens is OK also like others the such criticism, translated text that revises me, so although everybody's interpret is made, I also can offer different interpret way.

NEW YORK – A U.S. citizen accused of fighting for al-Qaida went on trial Tuesday, a day after the 16th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, in a case that hinges partly on fingerprints found on an unexploded bomb.
Muhanad Mahmoud Al Farekh, who was born in Houston and raised in Dubai, was "an Amnerican citizen who turned his back on this country, joined terrorists and lived with them for seven years before he was caught," Assistant U.S. Attorney Saritha Komatireddy said in opening statements in federal court in Brooklyn.
She also called the defendant "an American who sought to kill other Americans."
Farekh's case has drawn extra attention because of reports that American officials had debated whether to try to kill him in a drone strike, a step almost never taken against U.S. citizens. President Barack Obama's administration ultimately decided to try for a capture and civilian prosecution instead.
Farekh, 31, has pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to murder U.S. nationals, conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction and other crimes. One of his lawyers was to give an opening statement later Tuesday.
Most of the charges against Farekh stem from an attack at Forward Operating Base Chapman in Khost City, Afghanistan, on Jan. 19, 2009, involving two vehicles rigged with explosives and driven by suicide bombers. An initial blast injured several Afghans, including a pregnant woman, but a much larger bomb failed to go off, sparing the lives of American soldiers.
The jury was to hear testimony about how forensic technicians in Afghanistan recovered 18 of Farekh's fingerprints on adhesive packing tape used to bind the explosives on the unexploded bomb, court paper said. Al-Qaida operatives who have pleaded guilty and are cooperating with the government also were expected to take the witness stand.
Before Farekh's capture in Pakistan in 2014, the Pentagon nominated him for a kill list for terrorism suspects, with CIA officials also lobbying the White House to authorize his killing, according to a report in The New York Times. But the Department of Justice pushed back, questioning whether he was a big enough player in the terror network to take the extraordinary step of killing an American overseas without a trial.
Farekh was brought to New York City "so that this U.S. citizen could sit in a U.S. court and be held accoutable for his crimes," Komatireddy said.
President Donald Trump's administration has taken steps to give the CIA and the military more latitude to target and kill al-Qaida and Islamic State group militants without a presidential signoff in places including Yemen, Somalia, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Afghanistan.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has argued that Guantanamo Bay, a U.S. military base in Cuba, is the best place to try terror suspects, saying civilian courts give legal protections to which they are not entitled.
During the presidential campaign, Trump, a Republican, said he wanted to keep Guantanamo Bay open after Obama, a Democrat, had long fought to close it. Trump promised to "load it up with some bad dudes."

Serving Our Communities Through Sports Medicine Outreach
At Friday night football games across Northeastern Oklahoma, there's an extra team player on the field, ready to help keep student athletes in the game. It's all part of Central States Orthopedics' Sports Medicine Outreach, a free community service supporting public and private high schools, Northeast Oklahoma Association of Homeschools and an NAIA university with excellent sports medicine care and training.
Darren Lunow, M.Ed., ATC, LAT, certified athletic trainer and coordinator of Central States Orthopedics' Sports Medicine Outreach, says orthopedics and sports medicine are a perfect fit.
"On any given Friday, we have a physician, physician assistant or certified athletic trainer on 13 area sidelines, right where they can help with fast answers and care," says Lunow.
He says because football is a collision sport by nature, injuries can be part of the game.
"By being on the field, we can make arrangements to have a patient in the examination room with one of our orthopedic specialists on Monday morning, often before other physician offices' phone lines are even open to make appointments," he says. "It's one way we reduce stress for parents and help them know all the next steps that need to be taken."
Lunow explains the groups' Sports Medicine Outreach goes beyond prompt orthopedic care to bring a needed resource to athletic programs and the wider community.
"It's more than injury care, it's whole patient care for athletes and their families," he says.
The comprehensive program supports schools with athletic training, personalized rehabilitation, injury evaluation and education on fitness and injury prevention.
"Through rehabilitation for example, we get to help kids forget about one of their most trying times and remind them what it feels like to just go play," says Lunow.
Through the outreach program, Central States Orthopedics physicians also volunteer their time for student athletic physicals. In May alone, Central States Orthopedics provided 1700 student orthopedic evaluations. The service is provided free of charge and any money raised by the event goes back into the school's athletic or overall budget.
"It's a something we do because we care about kids, their families and our community," says Lunow.
For more information, see Central States Orthopedics Sports Medicine Monthly, a helpful resource distributed free to our partner schools and also available on our website.

Demographic Analyst
Demographic Analyst
Demographic analysis is the study of populations in a given sector. Companies often conduct demographic analysis in order to judge the relative sensitivities of a target market. This allows them to tailor their advertising and general presence to the needs of a given community. Understanding the demographics of given populations is also important for government planning and funding initiatives.
In many respects, demographic analysis is a form of scientific study. It involves sampling, statistics and probability, as well as traditional research. Analysis can be performed in a number of different settings and can usually be as general or as specific as the analyst wants.
The most straightforward demographic analysis concerns the populations of entire towns, communities or countries. These populations can be broken down by age, sex, marital status and ethnic background. From there, factors such as profession, level of education and average income can also be compiled.
There are a number of reasons why demographic analysis is important. Most governments have a vested interest in understanding the makeup of their communities. Having accurate information about the needs of certain populations can help governments ensure that the people have adequate representation from local officials and sufficient access to emergency services, for instance. Data on current student demographics can make informed decisions possible about where to build schools, libraries, and other government-funded school resources, just as demographics on elderly populations can help governments identify communities where more senior services may be needed.
Demographic analysis at a more localised level is typically of great importance to business owners. Marketing demographics often focus on the population details of a specific community where a product is to be sold or where a business is to be opened. Having demographic data helps businesses to target marketing to certain demographic areas. Sometimes, this involves the creation of a specific advertising campaign for a given community. Other times it involves choosing a community because it has a high percentage of target demographics — high numbers of school students, for instance, or stay-at-home moms.
Companies looking to break into a market might also use demographic analysis to assess a community's need for its particular services. Analysis in this context is usually sector-specific. A banking company might perform a business demographic analysis of all bank customers in a certain area, for example, in order to understand what sort of clientele they are likely to encounter. Demographic trends concerning age and socioeconomic status might also be helpful to a business when looking ahead and projecting what a community is likely to consist of, a number of years into the future.
Population demographics do not always concern people. In biology, scientists frequently use demographic analysis to study populations of animals in the wild. This kind of analysis provides information on birth rate, migratory patterns and cause of death. Information gleaned from these demographic analyses is helpful in understanding humans' impact on animals in the wild, as well as natural phenomena such as disease and genetic mutation.

As a part of our continued efforts to provide technical guidance for our clients, a request was made recently as to whether or not we could provide a highly secure, multifactor authentication methodology for remote VPN users. Obviously, there are many choices available, but we found only one that had the scalability necessary to start off small and cost effective, and ultimately scale to hundreds if not thousands of users.
The article below has been written to demonstrate the authentication features of the Fortinet security appliance suite, specifically their flagship product, the FortiGate firewall. I wanted to show a real-life example of how we could provide secure multifactor VPN without having to break the bank. The example below is designed to show this configuration in the most basic sense, using only the features that come with a standard FortiGate appliance. Fortinet provides an included two licenses of FortiToken (Two-Factor Auth) per FortiGate as a way of allowing administrators to experience the power and simplicity of this feature. Today, we'll be using these included 'FortiTokens' to setup our VPN.
It's important to note that Fortinet allows for their FortiToken functionality to scale well above and beyond what we'll be looking at today. They even have a dedicated appliance that is specifically designed for authentication offload called the FortiAuthenticator, but we'll get into that in another article. For now, we'll stick with the FortiGate and a typical AD authentication setup.
Speaking of authentication, we'll be leveraging a very commonly used authentication methodology, i.e. RADIUS. RADIUS has been around for many years and has evolved ever so slightly during its iterations within Windows. Now a part of the NPS feature set, we'll be showing how to configure RADIUS on a Windows Server 2016 box, as this is the most recent and secure.
Below is a quick and dirty diagram of what we'll be setting up:
The goal of this configuration will be to:
- Setup a Windows 2016 RADIUS server for FortiGate authentication
- Setup a FortiGate firewall to authenticate to a Windows 2016 RADIUS server
- Setup the necessary users and groups
- Configure FortiToken Two-Factor Authentication
- Configure FortiToken Push Services
- Setup SSL VPN to use RADIUS and Two-Factor enabled accounts
- Setup FortiClient VPN
Part 1: Install and configure RADIUS on Windows Server 2016
Logon to the Windows 2016 server that you plan to use as your RADIUS server. This server does not have to be standalone and can be installed on Domain Controller. Launch Server Manager and select 'Manage' from the top right. Select 'Add Roles and Features' to launch the wizard. From the wizard page, select 'Network Policy and Access Services' as shown below.
Click 'Next' and 'Finish' to start the installation. This install should not require a reboot.
Once the installation is complete, from the Server Manager, select 'Tools' and then select the new "Network Policy Server' option.
Right Click on RADIUS Clients and select 'New'. This will bring up the new RADIUS client dialog. Configure the page with the following:
- Check the "Enable the RADIUS client' checkbox
- Give your RADIUS server a friendly name (ex. RADIUS)
- Enter the IP address of the LAN interface of your FortiGate. This is typically the default gateway for the internal network.
- Leave the radio box checked with 'Manual'
- Enter a Shared Secret password (write this down for future use)
- Click OK
Once the RADIUS client is configured, Select 'Connection Request Policies' under the Policies section of the NPS Snap-in.
- Right Click and Select 'New'
- On the Overview Tab, Give the Policy a Name like 'FortiGate VPN'
- Select the 'Policy enabled' check box
- Leave the Type of network access server to 'Unspecified'
Next, select the 'Conditions' tab
- Click the 'Add' button and then select the condition call NAS IPv4 Address.
- Click the 'Add' button again and type in the IP address of the FortiGate's internal LAN address.
Next, select the 'Settings' tab
- Click on 'Vendor Specific' and select the 'Add' button.
- Scroll to the very bottom of the list and select 'Vendor-Specific'
- Click the 'Add' button again
Select the 'Add' button for the 3rd time and you will see the screen below. Select 'Enter Vendor Code' and enter the value 12356.
Click OK when finished.
At this point you should see your attribute as shown below.
Click OK to save this setting.
Click OK once more in the bottom right to close the Connection Request Policy box.
You should see your policy listed as shown below.
Lastly, we need to configure a Network Policy.
Select 'Network Policies' from the Network Policy Server Snap-in.
- Right click, and select 'New'.
- Give the policy a friendly name (i.e. VPN Policy)
- On the Overview tab, make sure the 'Policy enabled' checkbox is checked
- Verify that 'Grant access' is selected
- Verify that 'Type of network access server' is set to Unspecified
Select the 'Conditions' tab
- From the Conditions tab, select 'Add'
- Select 'Windows Groups', then select Add
- Select 'Add Groups'
- Type in the name of the group in AD that you want to allow for VPN authentication*
- Click 'Check Names' and make sure your group resolves correctly.
- Click OK, then OK.
Once you have added the AD Group condition, go to the 'Constraints' tab.
Verify that the following boxes are checked, then click 'Apply' then 'OK' to complete the policy.
This should conclude the necessary steps to configure RADIUS on Windows Server 2016. Next, we need to configure the FortiGate firewall.
Part 2: Configuring RADIUS, MFA and SSL VPN on the FortiGate Firewall
Logon to your FortiGate device and navigate to the RADIUS server settings menu under User & Device. Select 'Create New' from the top menu.
Give your RADIUS server a name (can match Windows server name for easy identifiability). Add the following settings:
- Select Specify for Authentication method and chose MS-CHAP-v2
- Enter the IP address of your RADIUS server under NAS IP
- Select "Include in every user group"
- Under Primary Server enter the IP of the RADIUS server again
- Under Secret enter the secret password you configured in RADIUS client settings
Once the configuration settings are in place you can select the 'Test Connectivity' button. You should get a green response saying that connectivity is successful.
*NOTE: the 'Test User Credentials' button will not work, no matter how you configure your settings as this is only designed to function with the insecure PAP security protocol. Since we have configured our system to use MS-CHAP-v2, you will always receive a failure message is you attempt to use this button.
In order to complete a successful user test, we'll need to run a command from the command line.
FortiGate# diagnose test authserver radius RADIUSSERVERNAME mschap2 username password
Below is a successful output of this command:
Once the RADIUS settings are in place and verified, we need to create a user group.
- Select 'User Groups' under User & Device, and select 'Create New'.
- Give the Group a name and select 'Firewall' as the type.
- Click 'OK' to create the group.
Once the group is created, we need to create some users and add them to the group.
- Select 'User Definition' from beneath User & Device
- Select 'Create New'
- Select 'Remote RADIUS User'
- Click 'Next'
- Type in the user name you wish to use (ex. elsimpso) You do not need to include the domain prefix.
- Use the drop-down menu to select the RADIUS server we created earlier.
- Click 'Next'
Here is where we can enable Two-Factor Authentication for this account. To enable it complete the following steps:
- Select the 'SMS' box.
- Select the Country Code and enter the phone number for the FortiToken mobile client you wish to use
- Select 'Two-factor Authentication'
- Use the drop-down menu to select a FortiToken to assign to this user.
- Click 'Next'
At this point there should be a message stating that a code has been sent to the user's device. The user will need to use this code to configure FortiToken Mobile so that they can then use this device for MFA.
If for whatever reason this code does not appear, you can access this code via the command line. See the screenshot below:
Use the code found next to 'activation-code' to setup your FortiToken mobile app. It is important to remember to give the app the EXACT user name you configured in the FortiGate. (i.e. elsimpso in our example)
Back to our user creation. On the last tab, 'Extra Info', select the 'User Group' button and add in the group we created earlier as shown below.
Once completed, you should have an account that looks like the one shown below. Note the type is RADIUS and there is a Two-factor code.
Now that we have our RADIUS settings and user account created (you can obviously create as many user accounts as needed) its time setup the SSL VPN.
Start off by navigating to the SSL-VPN Portals menu under the VPN section of your FortiGate.
You notice that there are three pre-created SSL VPN tunnels. For our example, we will be setting up the traditional full-access VPN.
Select 'full-access' and select the 'Edit button above.
Configure the settings for your VPN as shown below.
*Note: Some settings, such as the Theme are obviously optional. The important things here are enabling Tunnel Mode with Split tunneling and making sure that there is a resource pool of IP addresses for clients to use.
Click 'OK' to finish the settings.
Once the SSL VPN Portal is ready, go to the SSL-VPN Settings menu. Here we really only need to verify a few things. Specifically, make sure that you select a port other than 443, as we'll typically use this for other services. In my example, I chose 10443.
- Make sure that 'Require Client Certificate' is off.
- Make sure that the full-access portal is listed under the Authentication/Portal Mapping section.
Once you've completed this, use a web browser to try and access your SSL VPN Portal. You should see something like this:
OK so now we're almost done. Since we've enabled two-factor authentication, we also want to enable FortiToken Mobile Push.
So, what is FTM Push? In a nutshell, instead of having to manually type in your 6-digit MFA code every time you connect to the VPN, you can simply configure the FortiGate to 'push' an authorization request to your FortiToken Mobile device.
To enable FTM Push we have to make two quick changes:
Open the command line on the FortiGate and type the following:
- config system ftm-push
- set server-ip x.x.x.x (use your public IP configured on your WAN interface)
- set status enable
- end
Once this is done, we'll enable FTM Push on the WAN interface. The easiest way to do this is via the GUI. Simply open Network à Interfaces and select your WAN interface.
- Click 'Edit' to configure the WAN interface.
- Under the 'Administrative Access' section, select FTM.
Once this is done, you'll be able to use the FTM Push feature when logging into to the VPN with MFA.
Ok, the final steps at this point is to configure a FortiClient VPN client. This is an extra step and not necessary as SSL VPN can function within the browser only, but I always prefer to have a client configured.
To do this, simply launch the FortiClient from a PC with it installed.
Select the 'Remote Access' tab
Click the Configure VPN link
Configure the VPN settings as shown:
Note that we've selected 'Customize port' and changed the port to 10443. You can use either a Public IP or a Public hostname for the Remote Gateway.
Click Save.
Now we're ready to connect.
- Type in the username and password for an AD account that you've setup earlier.
- Click the Connect button
- You may get a warning about the certificate. This occurs if you do not have a valid Public CA cert attached to your FortiGate. This is not a requirement, and you can simply click YES to allow the connection. This should only happen the first time you connect.
At this point you should see the screen below. Here you can either manually enter the 6-digit code from your FortiToken Mobile device, or you can select FTM Push.
FTM Push is supported with both Apple and Android devices, so the way the push notification is displayed may vary a bit. Ultimately, you'll want to look at the notifications menu on your phone and you'll see a FortiToken Mobile notification. Below is an Apple notification:
Simply select 'Approve' and in a few moments you should be connected to the VPN.
So, to wrap this up, in this article we've:
- Setup a Windows Server 2016 to support a RADIUS client connection from a FortiGate firewall
- Configured a FortiGate firewall to connect to a Windows RADIUS server
- Configured a VPN User Group
- Added a remote RADIUS user to the VPN User Group
- Configure remote RADIUS user with Two-Factor Authentication via FortiToken Mobile
- Configured FortiToken Mobile Push
- Configured SSL-VPN
- Configured FortiClient fabric agent to connect to SSL VPN
- Completed successful two-factor authentication with RADIUS

Join James Williamson for an in-depth discussion in this video Using the exercise files, part of HTML: Building Tables.
- If you're a premium member of the lynda.com online training library, you have access to the exercise files that are used throughout this course. Exercise files for this course are arranged by chapter, and are located in folders that are named based upon the movie number they represent. Since each exercise is self-contained, you wanna work with these folders individually. I recommend copying the entire exercise files directory to the desktop, and then working on the files from the appropriate folder. I'll call out the location of the exercise files for each movie, and you should see a brief overlay that will also tell you where to find those files.
This course focuses on learning HTML, and not on any one authoring tool. As such, it really doesn't matter which tool that you use. Now, I'll be using Brackets, which is a free cross-platform code editor, but it really doesn't matter which one you use. So if you have one that's already your favorite, just go ahead and continue to use that one. Now the only other tools that you'll need are browsers to preview your completed exercise in. I recommend using Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, or Internet Explorer versions ten and above if you're on Windows.
You'll probably notice that I'm using a mixture of these browsers as I preview pages. This is a great habit to get into, as you'll wanna preview your pages in as many browsers as you can to make sure that they're working across all browsers.

the center of the earth
Well, the Earth Element of PS3 is now half over and here's where I am on my projects.
Muddy Waters – Done!
Hexacomb Cardigan – Done! It needs to be properly photographed, which may not happen until next week. I'm already marking it as a successful knit though.
Muir – Well, I'm through the second of thirteen pattern repeats. It doesn't help that I can only knit on it when I'm doing little else or when no else is around (or talking to me). I've discovered that knitting on it during movie time with Mr. NotCharles is ideal. I'm halfway through the second pattern repeat. I expect it to stretch into the Air Element, which is convenient since I don't really have a lace project for that one.
Mrs. Tiggiewinkle – So close to the end of this, and so close to starting the actual knitting of the Baby Surprise Jacket.
Stranded Socks – Yup, I started these right after attaching the last sleeve to my Hexacomb Cardigan. I'm using the Crusoe pattern, which I've knit before. I'm loving it, unlike last time. I think it has everything to do with the yarn. I'm using Yarn Pirate Kalamata on size 0 US needles and it's making a deliciously thick fabric. It also helps that the colorway is a yummy green, purple and coppery rose combination.

DAYTONA BEACH - It was a nagging question asked by many - including drivers - as the Daytona 500 was delayed nearly 30 hours because of rain Sunday and Monday.
Would over-anxious drivers, eager to get the season off on the right foot and antsy with the frustrating weather, force the issue a bit too early when the green flag finally dropped in the first Monday night running of NASCAR's main event?
The question was answered in barely more than one lap.
A five-car accident started by Elliott Sadler and engulfing the past two Daytona winners - Trevor Bayne and David Ragan - five-time Sprint Cup points champion Jimmie Johnson, rookie starter Danica Patrick and Kurt Busch, jarred fans with its suddenness and ferocity before the driver of the pace car could even switch off the ignition.
And unlike many multi-car wrecks, it was easy to point the finger: Sadler clipped Johnson from behind, sending Johnson spinning into the retaining wall on the right. In rapid order, Ragan plowed into Johnson and Bayne. Patrick and Busch were soon locked up in the melee.
Patrick went sliding into the wet grass, and her car was nearly squeezed between Bayne and Ragan before it slipped through the gap. The cars of Johnson and Ragan were damaged beyond repair. The crews of Patrick, Busch and Bayne were able to get their cars back on the tracks.
Continuing along his way was Sadler, who was able to bypass the carnage he caused and remain unscathed.
"I'm not sure what happened or why they got so antsy," said Bayne, who won the Daytona 500 last year. "I got out of the way the best I could, but we still got in it."
Johnson didn't get into pointing fingers at Sadler, observing dryly, "I had some help from behind me that got out of control. From then on, I was just spinning."
Other drivers weren't so mild in their criticism of Sadler. Dale Earnhardt Jr., told his crew over the radio, "Tell Sadler if he gets up to me, I don't need his help."
Ragan, who had not seen videos of the wreck when he gave his comments to Ford Racing representatives, said: "I can't wait to see who was the bonehead that did that."
Johnson was sympathetic of Ragan, the winner of last July's race at Daytona, who plowed into him when he was spinning.
"When I was sitting in the middle of the racetrack, I knew at some point someone was going to come along," Johnson said. "Unfortunately, David Ragan had nowhere to go. I got drilled by him pretty hard."
Ragan said Sadler forced the issue much too early.
"It is just a shame for it to be that early in the biggest race, our first race of the year," he said. "We were content on riding in the beginning and minding our Ps and Qs."
Johnson began the race in fourth row, and Sadler was in the fifth. Shortly after the race started, Johnson said he sensed there might be early fireworks.
"We were all just trying to make our lane work," he said. "There was a lot of energy in the lane."
Johnson and Bayne echoed Ragan in pointing out that the wreck was especially frustrating, coming in the first race, just after the first lap.
"I'm just really, really bummed to start the season this way," Johnson said.
"I hate this ... but we'll be back," Bayne said.

Toulouse - Airbus now has the first A330-800 with engines. The aircraft is now complete and can soon start the test flights. Although the A330-800 has the same hull as its predecessor, the A330-200, it looks smaller.
It is mainly due to the new Rolls Royce Trent 7000 engines, which are much larger than the General Electric CF6, Pratt & Whitney PW4000, and Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engines used in previous A330 variants.
In contrast to the larger A330-900, which will enter into service with the launch customer TAP Air Portugal at the end of this year, the A330-800 is not yet a commercial success. Only Kuwait Airways and Uganda Airlines have expressed interest to buy the European manufacturer's re-engineered A330 variant, which involves a total of 10 copies only.
The A330-800neo combines the latest-generation Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines with multiple aerodynamic improvements to offer customers a more fuel-efficient device.
With a range of 7,500 nautical miles, the A330-800neo is configured to accommodate 257 passengers in three classes or up to 406passengers in a high-density layout.

DIY: Flaunt those Cuff Links with any Dress Shirt
When we went to our friends' wedding earlier this month, I wasn't the only one there with some DIY touches to their outfit! My husband was the best man, so he didn't have much to decide about his outfit, but he asked the groom if he could wear cuff links, because he'd just gotten a beautiful pair (and matching tie clip) from our friend Davis Hatcher who had a tent at the Boulder Creek Festival this year. Hubs got an easy "yes" from his bestie, but the shirt the groomsmen all got had buttoned cuffs, and we weren't allowed to change which shirt he was wearing, so we (I) had to get crafty!
First, rip off those pesky buttons! Carefully, of course. I used a seam ripper.
Next, fold the cuff in half, and mark where the buttonhole should go based on where the existing buttonhole is. I did this with a pencil, because it had a nice fine tip, makes a light mark, would wash off, plus all the marking I did was on the inside of the sleeve and would be covered/cut by the buttonhole processes, and therefore wouldn't be visible anyway. You'll notice my mark has a small horizontal mark below (perpendicular to) the mark I made through the existing buttonhole. This is based on how my sewing machine's buttonhole foot instructions detailed the process.
Then you make your buttonhole! My machine has a special buttonhole foot that you insert a button into to get the size right, so I used one of the buttons I ripped off earlier. I attached the buttonhole foot to my sewing machine, lined up my marks with the red and green marks on the foot, picked the proper stitch and started sewing. Other than gently holding the fabric in place, I didn't do much - the machine does all the hard work. Depending on your machine, you may have to do things a bit more manually, so double check your instruction manual. I'd imagine most new-ish machines will have this ability, though.
The scariest part comes next - you have to actually cut the hole for the button (or, in this case, cuff link) to go through. I've seen that some people use scissors, but I prefer using the seam ripper again.
And there you have it! Another fun touch for this project is that, rather than using white thread to match the white shirt, I used the same color thread that I used on the culottes I made for this wedding, so we were subtly (ok, let's be honest, completely unnoticeably) matching. 😉

Ebay truly coined this term as the best on the internet purchasing day in December, generally the second Monday in December.
In conclusion, purchasing is my favourite factor to do, but I do not like Tv commercials and ads. I think becoming aware of the grocery cycles is crucial in mixture with often purchasing those cycles at two or three distinct chain shops that are inside a 5 mile radius of my residence. There are shipping charges: As previously mentioned, many of the disadvantages of on-line purchasing stem from shipping. Numerous men and women pick shopping on the internet also simply because they can't stand that crowded and noisy environment.
When you buy from on the internet retailer you have the comfort to take your time even though checking for the items of your selection, this will lead you to a basic and rapid way to perform cost comparison as opposed to the dissatisfied and hurried purchasing you do in the regional shops.
Online buying for garments offers you the freedom to shop not only at the early hours in the morning or at the late hours of the night, but you can purchase garments on the internet regardless of where you are – at the cafe with friends, in the course of your vacation, or at the workplace during your break.

The Marshall Tucker Band Brings Southern Rock To The Paramount/
By Connor Beach
The Southern rock sound that was produced with great popularity in the '70s has always been a distinct blend of both country and rock, and no band captured the essence of the genre better than The Marshall Tucker Band.
Best known for hits like "Can't You See" (1973) and "Heard It in a Love Song" (1977), the band combines elements of rock and roll, blues and country into a sound that helped to establish Southern rock after their first album was released in 1973.
And they're bringing that sound to Huntington on Thursday, Dec. 7.
Original band member Doug Gray, lead singer and the only original member who still tours with the band, said that the band's origins in Spartanburg, South Carolina greatly influenced their music.
"The country came out of us, from where we grew up," Gray said.
Southern rock was, and continues to be, more than just a style of music, according to Gray. Southern rock bands would help each other out by covering each other's shows in emergencies or going miles out of the way to pick up a band whose bus had broken down.
"Very stiff and very rigid concern for each other to make sure that everybody got everything done that they needed, that's what Southern rock was really all about," Gray explained.
Gray said the current makeup of The Marshall Tucker Band does a good job of carrying on its musical legacy, as well as the respect that has always been an important aspect of the band's tradition.
"If anyone has respect for the band it's the people who listened to us on LIR and BAB in the very beginning. Those people were listening to Marshall Tucker Band on the radio, and digging hearing Marshall Tucker Band," Gray said.
The Marshall Tucker Band released the song "Long Island Lady" in 1983, and Gray said the band has always felt welcomed by their fans on Long Island.
"Coming to Long Island is more like coming to see a second family for another Thanksgiving," Gray said. "On Long Island, we have many very loyal fans, and the reason that they're loyal, I think, is because we showed them respect when we first came to town."
The Marshall Tucker Band continues their legacy of entertaining fans through live performances, and Gray hinted that the band would be on the road touring again in 2018.
Thursday's show at The Paramount is set to begin at 8 p.m., with doors opening an hour earlier. Tickets are $25-$95 each and available at the box office or online ParamountNY.com.

What have we come to?
The far-right demonstration in Charlottesville, Virginia yesterday wasn't so much a rally as it was a mob. The white nationalists who marched to protest the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee weren't looking for trouble, they were there to cause trouble. That they did. The showed the ugly hatred, bigotry, and intolerance that Donald Trump has stoked for the past two years. There were Southern Crosses and Nazi flags on display along with the hateful rhetoric against people of color, non-Christians, secular humanists, and anyone else that offends the American far right. When counter-protesters attempted to be heard, one right-winger responded by driving a car into the anti-Trump crowd, as much an act of terror as flying panes it buildings. Three people are reported dead. And all this at the home of the University of Virginia, founded by Thomas Jefferson as a parting git to his state for the pursuit of intellectual and analytical rigor.
To think that Bill Maher was cracking jokes about this scheduled rally the day before it took place. But it's no laughing matter now.
While Trump has noncommitally condemned the violence in Charlottesville and refused to aim his comments directly at the reactionaries who instigated the melee, Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe has declared a state of emergency. This is happening as Trump plans to face down North Korea and maybe start a war with Venezuela.
Love trumps hate? No more reconciliation with the alt-right. "Now is not the time for reconciliation," Martin O'Malley said back in January 2017. "Dietrich Bonhoeffer didn't reconcile with the Nazis. Martin Luther King didn't reconcile with the KKK."
Now we take a stand against the forces of darkness.

Penhalonga Gold Mine – Penhalonga
Penhalonga Gold Mine
The two earliest gold claims in the Umtali district were laid out in 1888 by British mining engineer James Henry Jeffreys.
Apparently, the district was then considered to be part of province of Manica in the Portuguese colony of Mozambique. Political astute, Jeffreys decided therefore to name the mining claims after officials from the Companhia de Moçambique, the company which possessed the trade concessions for Manica province (and other areas of the colony). The first gold claim was named Penhalonga, after Count Penhalonga, chairman of the Mozambique Company, and the second claim named for Baron de Rezende, the Mozambique Company's Director of Operations on Africa.
In 1890, the area was annexed by Cecil Rhodes' "Pioneer Column", an armed force representing the expansionist interests of the Rhodes' British South Africa Company (BSAC). The BSAC representatives for the region (Archibald Ross Colquhoun and Frederick Courteney Selous) "got a concession" from Jeffreys in September, 1890, effectively taking control of the mining tracts in the name of Cecil Rhodes. Jeffreys however remained on at the mine, and played a major role in its development.
The Penhalonga Mine was officially opened in 1895. The mine closed in 1943.

Why investors should avoid binary options
Be extra careful if you're on the hunt for high-performing investments online. You could fall victim to fraud, especially by way of binary options. The Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) has been watching these products very closely since they first started appearing online and on mobile platforms in 2013. No company is authorized to sell them; so all binary options offers are illegal.
Binary options platforms generally promise quick returns on investments, though these never come through. On top of seizing their victims' funds, those who develop binary options are doing so illegally. The so-called professionals you end up dealing with are usually employees located in call centres around the world.
What are binary options?
Binary options are similar to a game of chance or the lottery. You're invited to bet, usually with a credit card, on the increase or decrease of an asset's value within a very short time frame, like 10 minutes. The asset could be equity, a commodity or a currency. At maturity, there are two possible outcomes: a virtual gain that was determined before your bet or you lose your money.
Before asking for actual money, several platforms ease investors into the transaction by allowing them to place simulated bets with fictitious amounts. In the most common scenario, an investor opens an account and starts winning by betting small fictitious amounts.
"We noticed that once people feel comfortable, they often put up real money, which quickly increases to several thousand dollars," said Annie Leblanc, an investigator with the AMF. "The results shown on the platforms are in no way linked to market fluctuations, and they're manipulated in favour of the platform operators. Simply put, it's fraud."
Protecting your money and your identity
In most cases, investors have provided fraudsters with photo ID, including their passport and driver's license, to claim their virtual earnings. In addition to never receiving the money they were promised, these investors put themselves at a high risk of becoming victims of identity fraud.
This type of fraud is becoming more prevalent. In fact, the number of calls the AMF Information Centre received regarding binary options fraud almost doubled between 2014 and 2016. According to data compiled by the Canadian Securities Administrators, the losses incurred by those who invested in these products in 2016 totalled $4,677,000. Plus, due to under-reporting, it's believed that this massive figure is just the tip of the iceberg.
Because of these substantial losses and the mounting risks posed to the general public, the AMF recently announced its plan to prohibit the marketing and sale of all binary options with a maturity of less than 30 days in Quebec.
"No matter what you read on binary options platforms or how aggressively their salespeople try to convince you to invest, selling binary options to the general public is very suspicious," Leblanc said. "The risk of losing everything, with little chance to recover it, is very real."
An international endeavour
"We're making great strides in the fight against fraudulent binary options," Leblanc said. "Our frequent warnings and recent plan to ban them from the general public in Quebec are part of those efforts. Because binary options easily operate across borders and oceans, the AMF actively works with various organizations like the FBI and Europol, the European agency specializing in crime prevention, to put a stop to this global problem."

Returning readers will notice that Publisher Audrey Chen has graciously allowed me to guest write this month's letter before I return to school. Although I began my internship at Natural Awakenings of Bucks and Montgomery counties in May after finishing my first year of college, I have known Audrey for several years from babysitting her children in the playroom at Cornerstone Health and Fitness. Since my major includes components of publishing, I eagerly accepted her offer to serve as her first intern.
Being a part of the team has proved to be an invaluable opportunity to explore and learn about the internal workings of a magazine without the pressures of a full-time job. Audrey has exposed me to every part of the process, from selecting and editing articles to interviewing and writing advertiser spotlights to reviewing final layouts. In just a short time, I've acquired and honed several skills that will be of practical use in my career. I'm even considering pursuing future work in the world of publishing. Continue reading

Portugal missed out on a chance to reach the Confederations Cup 2017 final on Wednesday after losing to Chile on penalties.
A laborious 90 minutes was followed by a semi-exciting extra-time, but neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Alexis Sanchez could prevent the fixture from ending 0-0.
And so it was left to penalties to decide the tie.
Typically of Ronaldo, the Portuguese wanted to be one of the last players to take a penalty and so left himself out of the first three.
Unfortunately for the Real Madrid striker, three successful Chile spot kicks and three Claudio Bravo saves meant he never got the chance.
But if you thought the four-time Ballon d'Or winner might kick off or throw a strop, you'd be wrong.
Footage has emerged of the Portugal captain instead doing something amazing. After Ricardo Quaresma and Joao Moutinho missed their efforts, Ronaldo consoled them on the halfway line, separately and together.
When Nani had his penalty saved, the 32-year-old forward rallied his troops together and led them off the pitch.
Brave in the face of defeat, Ronaldo then went to congratulate Bravo on his shootout heroics.
Despite Fernando Santos's men still having the third/fourth play-off against Mexico on Sunday, the 32-year-old forward has been allowed to fly home after the birth of his twins.

Cycling Cicerone and The Summer of Biking!
Let me get you up to date with some of the stuff that is going on here in Cycling Cicerone land. 2018 is going to be the year of the bike and we're up to all kinds of good stuff.
Brewing Business Podcast
Last week I sent out to you the first Cycling Cicerone Brewer Interview. It was a pretty fun little project (thanks again, Rooftop) that I think I am going to keep up. I asked Craig questions about his plans for expanding, about his events, about his neighbors, and even a little about his beer, but mostly I asked about the business life. Being an entrepreneur is, after all, the more work intensive part of opening a brewery. I think that is one of the secret aspects of brewing that people will find interesting, but maybe that is just my business minor talking. Is it? If you listened to that "podcast" (podcast in quotes since you won't find it actually published anywhere but here, and come on, we all know they should be called "spotifycasts") then maybe you can tell me what about it you liked or could have done without? We're all here for the beer, but how many different hop and grain bills do we really want to hear about? Oh and by the way, if you are a brewer and want to be interviewed, shoot me a message. Hell, if you are a homebrewer even, let's chat. Even if you don't, I'll come find you. If you can get there on a bike, I'll bring my mic. Hit the comments below or on Facebook. That would be great.
The STP, RSVP, and Gigantic Bicycle Fest
This year the Cycling Cicerone is riding the Seattle to Portland (STP), Seattle to Vancouver (RSVP) and the Gigantic Bicycle Fest Century Ride. Most of this is happening towards the tail end of summer so I have lots of training to do. What that means to you is that I will be riding further and further out to get in long training rides and that you can join! There are some amazing, secret brewery havens just 30 to 60 miles away from downtown. Woodinville and Redmond are easy and will be some of the earliest rides coming up. Then once we start getting swol we can head even further north to Everett, Snohomish, Arlington, and Mount Vernon. Hell, I don't know if there are any breweries in Tacoma, but we're gonna find out! Even Olympia is well within reach once we start getting towards the end of our training schedule. I'll keep you updated on events as they come up, so if you are ready to use the almighty training carrot that is beer to get crazy fit, this is the summer to do it.
I know it just finished snowing like gangbusters in Seattle, but I read on a new age-y website that that means some goddess of some kind is gonna give us a temperate summer. Either that or global warming will burn all the rain and snow away any day now. I guess that's another good reason to ride your bikes instead.

Calling All Moms in Eating Disorder Recovery: You Are Not Alone
My husband and I were in our mid 30s when our first daughter was born. Although we were elated to become parents, we were also shocked into broad sweeping life changes. We both had successful careers, a vibrant social life, a variety of athletic activities that we enjoyed together and individually, and practically no limitations on our time. Now, as parents, our hearts and lives were changed forever.
Sleep deprivation, overwhelm, and a general sense of disconnection with myself began to settle in. I no longer went to yoga, very rarely did I see friends, and I was too tired to spend quality time with my husband. But, that was all OK, I told myself, because now I was a mother, and my soul/sole purpose was to nurture my child.
Just as life began to ease, as my husband and I had a better grip on parenting, we were blessed with a second pregnancy. Although I modeled nothing but joy about this news to the world, internally I was unclear about my feelings. Did I truly want another baby? I was finally sleeping all night again and beginning to feel less overwhelmed. I did not utter these thoughts for fear of sounding selfish and ungrateful. And so, as I carried my baby, I also carried a secret—I was uneasy about having a second child, fearful of more overwhelm.
My relapse began the very day after my beautiful second daughter was born. Anorexia reclaimed my brain, and it took merciless root. As I held my baby in the hospital, filled with all the mother's love possible, a sinister drive to drop the baby weight as fast as possible rang in my head. I spiraled into severe restriction and was hospitalized before her first birthday.
Years later, I am a strong woman and mother, confident and committed in my purpose to hold space for others' healing from an eating disorder as a yoga therapist. This is not to say motherhood is easy, that I always feel euphoric happiness with my children, or that I don't bump up against triggering moments in the overwhelm of temper tantrums and household responsibilities. I assure you, I do, and I have a hunch that many moms out there in eating disorder recovery do as well.
In reflecting on my own experiences as a mom, especially how isolating both motherhood and recovery can be, I felt called to open up the discussion around motherhood and eating disorder recovery. I reached out to my friend and fellow mom and recovered colleague, Melainie Rogers, founder of Balance Eating Disorder Treatment Center, in New York City about my ideas. From candidly sharing our own challenges and experiences as moms in recovery, we were inspired to create a video series on motherhood and eating disorder recovery. Our intention for this project was to offer support and let other women know they are not alone in the challenges of motherhood and recovery.
In August, I went to NYC and spent an afternoon with Melainie filming our 4-part video series, covering topics like body image, what's hard about maintaining recovery, the importance of support and self-care, and how to help our children have a healthy relationship with food. We shared laughs, tears, and complete honesty. It was a day I will never forget, and luckily, we captured most of it on video to share with you.
I invite you to view our INTRO VIDEO to the MOTHERHOOD & EATING DISORDER RECOVERY series and check out all four of our videos. Here's a snapshot of the topics we discuss:
Part 1: What's hard about becoming a mom and maintaining recovery
Part 3: How to use our experiences and wisdom from recovery to help our children have a healthy relationship with food
As many of my closest friends have heard me say, motherhood is the greatest and hardest. It's taken time to allow myself to hold both of those feelings without guilt or shame. Melainie and I support you in your efforts in your life to embrace your feelings around motherhood and recovery. We sincerely hope you find our stories helpful and comforting. Also, we encourage you to share your experiences in the comments. What is hard for you about being a mom and maintaining recovery? What has helped you to manage motherhood and recovery? What's your self-care look like? Share anything at all! Us moms need each other, and we all will most definitely benefit from knowing we are not alone in our victories and challenges.
